Who is Maura Higgins? I'm a Celebrity 2024 contestant and TV personality
Could Maura be the next Queen of the Jungle?
I'm a Celebrity 2024 is in full swing and we now know the full line-up after former Love Islander Maura Higgins entered the jungle as a late arrival alongside Reverend Richard Coles. The duo, who have joined the likes of Danny Jones and GK Barry, made their late arrival into the jungle on Thursday night (21st November) as they tricked their fellow campmates into thinking they were suffering while staying in the junkyard, while actually enjoying a life of luxury. But this did mean the pair had to share a double bed and it was Maura's response that won viewers over. "I never thought I'd see the day I'm about to sleep with a vicar – but my friends wouldn't be shocked," Maura joked. Maura has proven to be a fan favourite among I'm a Celebrity 2024 viewers, which should come as no surprise following her appearance on Love Island. But what else is there to know about the former Love Island star? Read on to get clued up about the potential 2024 jungle queen, Maura Higgins. Who is Maura Higgins? Age: 33 Job: TV personality and presenter Instagram: @maurahiggins Maura Higgins rose to fame following her appearance on Love Island in 2019, where she came in fourth place alongside ex-partner Curtis Pritchard. Since appearing on the reality series, she has moved into TV presenting and appeared on several other TV shows, including Dancing on Ice. She has also served as a host on This Morning and currently presents the Love Island USA Aftersun show. Phobias: "I am scared of absolutely everything! I wouldn't touch a worm, ant - it's going to be a massive challenge for me." Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: "The only reality show I have done is Love Island, which is based around finding love and talking about relationships. This is my chance to show my vulnerable side and talk about work, rather than boys." Dream camper: "Rihanna. I have an obsession with her! She can sing us a few songs in camp." Who is Maura Higgins dating? Maura opened up about her current relationship status on Sunday night’s episode (1st December). The star was rumoured to be dating Pete Wicks, who is currently competing on Strictly Come Dancing, before she jetted off to Australia to take part in the show. Asked whether or not she was single by Oti Mabuse, Higgins said: "I am but I was seeing someone before I came in but I'm not in a relationship." Reverend Richard Cole then asked: "Was it exclusive? Or if I’ve put you on the spot, sorry!" Asked whether the person in question was a celebrity, Maura responded: "Yes." What has Maura Higgins said about joining I'm a Celebrity 2024? As a late entry into camp, Maura will be sure to shake things up for the other contestants, and ahead of her appearance, she admitted going on I'm a Celebrity will be the hardest thing she has ever done, despite it being one of her dreams. "This is the only TV show I have ever wanted to do and it's a real pinch me moment," she told ITV. "I am ready to step outside my comfort zone. I hope I do make myself proud and I am both excited but also very nervous, because I am scared of absolutely everything. "But I have watched this show for years and it will be nice to get to know Ant & Dec, who I have met on the red carpet before." I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! continues nightly at 9pm on ITV1, STV and ITVX. Check out more of our Entertainment coverage or visit our TV Guide and Streaming Guide to find out what else is on.

One couple who were especially iconic were Jamie Borthwick and his professional partner Michelle Tsiakkas, who performed a fun ode to Jamie's love of chips.

During his latest appearance on It Takes Two, the EastEnders actor explained: "I think they, especially at this stage in the comp[etition], they do want the standard to be very high because the standard is very high. If you aren't maybe delivering that perfection they are going to notice that." He added: "But, look, Strictly is next to impossible, learning a routine in two days, because it is two days by the time you do everything else – it's two days! "You know, doing all that, doing another job blah, blah, blah, so I feel like we are all giving it our absolute best. I am certainly more than happy with everything that we have done."

Who is Alan Halsall? I'm a Celebrity 2024 contestant and Coronation Street actor
The actor is swapping the cobbles for the jungle.
The 2024 season of I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! has returned, and we can't wait for three whole weeks of campfires, dingo dollars and Ant & Dec's comedic timing. Alan Halsall is set to enter the Australian jungle as part of the line-up - but how will he fare without his home comforts? Read on to find out everything you need to know about the actor taking on the Bushtucker Trials this year. Who is Alan Halsall? Age: 42 Job: Actor Instagram: @alanhalsall Alan Halsall is a British actor best known for his long-running role as Tyrone Dobbs on the popular soap Coronation Street. Over the years, Halsall has won several awards, including a National Television Award and a British Soap Award, for his portrayal of the character. Beyond Corrie, Halsall has appeared in other British TV shows, such as Heartbeat and Queer as Folk. His talent and relatability have made him one of British television’s most beloved soap stars. Phobias: "I’m not scared of anything at home but if you were to put 10 snakes on my head, I don’t know how I would feel about that as clearly I’ve never been in that situation before!" Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle?: "It will be nice for people to get to know a bit more about me rather than my character, Tyrone." Best & worst attributes: "My sense of humour and I hope to have a laugh in camp. Worst? Sleeping is going to be interesting. I have problems sleeping and it has to be pitch black and deadly quiet – now that is not going to happen!" What has Alan Halsall said about joining I'm a Celebrity 2024? Alan was sadly forced to pull out of the show last year due to a major knee injury, so he knows his reveal won't be a shock to fans. "It's the worst kept secret in history," he joked. "It was a bit of a shock when I got the knee injury last year and whilst I am signed off surgically, I still have several months of physio ahead of me." He says one of the big reasons for saying ‘yes’ is down to the fact some of his colleagues loved their experience on the show. Alan adds: “I am very close to Andy Whyment and Jenni McAlpine, who have both done it before, and everyone tells me they had such a great experience. It’s a life experience and I am sure I will learn some new things about myself along the way too.” But have they given him any jungle survival tips? “I don’t think you can give a great deal of advice about something like this," he said. “I have been watching this [show] every year it has been on, so I know what to expect!" For any Corrie fans that are worrying that this new venture might spell the end of the road for Tyrone, Alan has reassured fans that it's not the case."I am definitely not leaving the soap," he confirmed. "You just won’t see my character for a while on screen.” I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! begins on Sunday 17th November at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Fans of I'm a Celebrity will also remember that Danny's band mate, Dougie Poynter, won the 11th season of the show in 2011. Perhaps he will share some tips with Jones on how to the survive the brutal Bushtucker Trials...? Phobias: "I’ve tried to forget all of my phobias. I’ve never been put in a situation like this before. I’m hoping that I don’t come home with new phobias." Best & worst attributes: "I can kind of cook. So I’ll bring a bit of that. Apart from that I’ll just be the silly billy in the corner having a good time." Dream camper: "It’d be Dougie! He’s the King of the Jungle. He should actually open up a zoo. He’s got lizards and all sorts of stuff at his house. He loves it. He loves animals and nature." What has Danny Jones said about joining I'm a Celebrity 2024? Danny has always seen I’m a Celebrity as a "bucket list thing" and said: “I felt very privileged to be asked to do it. This is an amazing opportunity. I had time in the diary, which was insane. I’ll never get the opportunity again. "I’ve always learned so much more from pushing myself out of my comfort zone, "he revealed. "For me it’s learning about myself as well. And showing my little boy that it’s ok to be scared - it’s do it and conquer it.” Asked which Trials he’s dreading, Danny admitted that it's “all of them... it’s genuinely all of them”. But he can also already envisage the parts of camp life he’s going to enjoy the most. Danny explained: “I’m looking forward to the evening when someone’s come back with all of the stars - or I’ve come back with all of the stars - and everyone’s championing you saying, ‘Yes, come on’. The sun has set, the fire’s on, you’ve eaten and you’ve got that little high from your food. I’m looking forward to those evenings.” The McFly band member thinks he's easy to live with and will mostly enjoy camp life. He said: “I’m quite patient. I’m quite placid. I’m quite chilled. I like it calm, I like putting music on, I like it smelling nice. I like a bath in the evening.” Talking of bathing in the jungle, will he be heading to the famous jungle shower? “100 per cent,” Danny confirmed, “A cool shower in the evening!” But life without his beloved guitar will be tough. "I’d love to have my guitar... to be without it is going to be a killer.” Maybe Danny will have to get creative and make some DIY instruments! I'm a Celebrity...

I’m not saying I’m going to win, but I’d like to be in there for a sustained amount of time so that I can get to know all of the guys in camp.” But would he refuse any of the Bushtucker Trials? “I couldn’t refuse to do it," he confirmed. "Once you’ve made the decision to get into I’m a Celebrity, you have to be willing to do everything." He continued: "It might be disgusting and you might be tired, but being a fighter and being dedicated and committed to training and getting ready for fights... you have to go through hell, physically as well as psychologically. So, I know what I’m letting myself in for." I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! begins on Sunday 17th November at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Melvin joked: "He looked sick in the shower!” He also admitted that his snoring might irritate the other campmates. The DJ revealed: "Snoring is my biggest fear. I have been trying to train myself, as messing with people’s sleep is a big deal. I might be the camp’s enemy if my snoring comes out.

Who is Oti Mabuse? I'm a Celebrity 2024 contestant and dancer
Oti's swapping her dancing shoes for hiking boots.
ITV's I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is almost about to begin, and we're gearing up for a new batch of celebrities to battle it out in the Australian jungle. One star who has swapped her dancing shoes for hiking boots, is former Strictly professional dancer and TV presenter, Oti Mabuse. She will be joining the likes of GK Barry and Coleen Rooney.

During her time on the show, she became a fan favourite and won the Glitterball trophy twice alongside soap star Kelvin Fletcher and comic Bill Bailey. Oti left the smash-hit dancing show after winning with Bailey in 2022. In an interview with You Magazine, she opened up about her surprise decision to leave the show. She said: "I didn’t want to hold on and get to the point where I wasn’t happy any more. I left when I was at the peak, in terms of working on the show. It feels like I’m leaving family behind – even the backstage team, the people viewers don’t get to see – but when you know it’s time to go, you know." Since then, Oti has continued on TV as a judge on Dancing on Ice and The Greatest Dancer, and as a panellist on The Masked Dancer. In 2023, she had a short stint hosting her own Saturday morning talk show, Oti Mabuse's Breakfast Show. Phobias: "I am terrified of snakes!" Best & worst attributes: "I think I have a good listening ear. My worst? I can be quite loud – but unintentionally. And if I get bored, I am even more energetic."

Oti Mabuse admits to being a superfan of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! – and it’s one of the main reasons why she accepted an offer to take part. “I have been a fan of I’m a Celebrity for so long,” said Oti. “Outside of Strictly and Dancing on Ice, it’s the show I watch religiously, and I can remember last year thinking: ‘OK, this feels right. I am definitely up for it now, I am up for the challenge’. “Now I have had my baby daughter, I want to get back to the adventurous and fun Oti. I feel ready for a change and doing something completely different. I will have no make-up, concealer, lashes – it’s going to be nice to be laid back.” How well Oti will do when it comes to the creepy crawlies in the jungle is a whole different story... The dancer and judge predicts coming face-to-face with a snake will be the most difficult challenge. She admits: “In my head I am a superhero but snakes are not my thing. I am petrified of them and they are my biggest fear.” However, it doesn't sound like she will allow her fears to get in the way of the win. As a former Strictly champ, she vows to be competitive when it comes to the Bushtucker Trials. She explained: “This is one of the shows where it is really nice to be determined, ambitious and competitive when it comes to doing a challenge. It will be about getting the stars.” I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! begins on Sunday 17th November at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Who is Tulisa Contostavlos? I'm a Celebrity 2024 contestant and singer
The jungle marks a TV comeback for Tulisa.
I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! is back in full swing and this year's campmates have officially been revealed. From Coleen Rooney to Oti Mabuse, we certainly have one of the most interesting mixes of celebrity contestants. Also joining the camp is singer Tulisa Contostavlos. Tulisa is no stranger to appearing on live TV, but how will she cope in the Australian jungle? The celebrities will be headed Down Under on Sunday 17th November, preparing to entertain audiences as they take part in the wildest challenges imaginable. Ahead of the show's launch, here's everything you need to know about the singer as she gets ready to live it up in the famous jungle. Who is Tulisa Contostavlos? Age: 36 Job: Singer and TV personality Instagram: @tulisacontostavlos Tulisa Contostavlos, often known simply as Tulisa, is a singer, songwriter and television personality. She shot to fame as a member of British pop and R&B group N-Dubz, alongside her cousin Dappy and friend Fazer. The group gained popularity in the late 2000s with songs like I Need You and Playing with Fire. In 2011, Tulisa joined the judging panel of The X Factor where she mentored Little Mix, the first group in the show's history to win. Phobias: "I am not going to give too much away by telling people what to vote for, but I will be scared of a lot of stuff." Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: "I am not the person that people perceive me to be and this will be a chance for everyone to get to know the real me." Dream camper: "I really love Egyptian history and there is a famous historian called Billy Carson. I would never be bored if he joined the camp." Best & worst attributes: "I am a good communicator and I’m aware of other people’s emotions. Worst? My eating habits. I am really OCD with my food so if something comes on a bone, I have to pick it all off first before I eat it. They will be waiting for me to finish so whoever wants to do the dishes, I will still be sitting there two hours later with the same little bowl!" What has Tulisa Contostavlos said about joining I'm a Celebrity 2024? Tulisa has avoided appearing on I'm a Celebrity for years due to being terrified, but the singer and TV personality says she feels a lot more adventurous this year and wants to take on the challenges. She also hopes people will find out more about the real her, rather than ready-made perceptions they may already have of the popstar. “My friends who I have told are really excited,” she revealed. "They feel it will be good for people to see the person I am – and not the perception. They are two very different people and they are excited. I just want to be in a place now where I live authentically.” She admitted that her fellow N-Dubz bandmates have yet to find out she is appearing in this year’s I’m a Celebrity, but predicts they will be excited – just like her best friends are. She admits that starring on primetime TV again after a number of years will be an adjustment. "I haven’t been thrust this much into the spotlight in a while and I have avoided it out of irrational fear," Tulisa said. "I will probably be the most emotional when I first go in. It will take me a while to settle in, but I know I will get past that.” I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! begins on Sunday 17th November at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

What has the Loose Women star said about entering the jungle?
As the eagerly awaited 2024 season of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! prepares to kick off, fans are buzzing about the star-studded cast heading into the reality show. TV presenter Jane Moore is ready to enter the Australian jungle and leave all her home comforts behind. She is expected to bring her sharp wit and candid opinions to the camp. But who is Jane Moore?

Phobias: "I’m not sure how I will feel when faced with Australian creepy crawlies, as they are so much bigger and I’m not fond of cold water either – so any of the water trials I would not really want to do." Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle: "Journalists as a whole can sometimes be misunderstood and so I am hoping to have a good conversation about that." Best & worst attributes: "I am very organised and so if anything needs organising, I’m your girl. I will also try to fill the long hours with lots of conversation. My worst? I get up at least twice in the night to go to the toilet, as I am a woman of a certain age. I will try to be quiet!" Dream camper: "Madonna, Adele and Victoria Beckham would all be great – anyone who knows their own mind and has something to say." What has Jane Moore said about joining I'm a Celebrity 2024? Jane Moore has joined the cast of I'm a Celebrity for an adventure. “I am really excited,” she admitted. “I’m apprehensive about being away from home, being isolated and away from my phone and laptop – but actually, this is also the very thing I am looking forward to." The journalist and TV presenter has never done a reality show before so is looking forward to the challenge. "I’ve always said when we talk about these things on Loose Women that this programme would be the one. I like an adventure and it appeals to me," she explained. As a regular panellist on Loose Women, Jane Moore is never afraid to express her strong views – and she is hoping to bring a lively debate to the I’m a Celebrity camp. Jane admits that she loves finding out about people’s lives, and has promised she will be asking plenty of questions in an "organic way" during her time in the jungle. “I will fill the hours with good chat,” Jane explained. “I find people really interesting and I want to have organic conversations. I won’t be like, ‘Tell me about the time...’ but I will be asking questions just because I am interested. I hope [fellow campmates] don’t get offended!” However, when it comes to the brutal eating trials – Jane isn't too confident. "I know it’s not going to harm me but retching is an involuntary reaction and my body might have other ideas," she admitted. I'm a Celebrity...

When there is a tie, head judge Shirley gets the final say and she ultimately saved Wynne and Katya, meaning they got a ticket to the Tower Ballroom. Will they climb back up the leaderboard this week? Time will tell. But where might you have seen him before, and what has he said about appearing on Strictly Come Dancing 2024? Read on for everything you need to know. Who is Wynne Evans? Age: 52 Job: Opera singer, radio presenter Instagram: @wynneevans X: @wynneevans Strictly partner: Katya Jones Fans will likely know Wynne from his appearances on adverts for the insurance comparison website Go Compare, playing the moustachioed character known as Gio Compario (or 'the Go Compare Man'). Before then, Wynne had originally achieved success as an acclaimed opera singer, and he has gone on to become a recording artist, reaching number one in the UK Classical Charts. In 2023, he competed on Celebrity MasterChef - winning the entire season. Wynne Evans's Strictly journey so far Scoreboard Week 1: Samba (6+6+7+7) = 26 Week 2: Viennese Waltz (7+7+8+8) = 30 Week 3: Cha Cha (7+7+8+8) = 30 Week 4: Tango (8+9+9+8) = 34 Week 5: Quickstep (7+9+9+8) = 33 Week 6: Salsa (7+8+8+8) = 31 Week 7: Rumba (7+7+8+8) = 30 Week 8: American Smooth (7+8+8+9) = 32 What is Wynne Evans dancing to in Week 9 on Strictly? Wynne and dance partner Katya will be dancing the Charleston to Carmen Suite No. 1: 5. Les toréadors by George Bizet in the Blackpool special. What has Wynne Evans said about joining Strictly 2024? Wynne said in a statement: "I am honestly still pinching myself, a partly balding opera singer, me, taking part in Strictly Come Dancing?! I’m not entirely sure how I’ll get along, if all else fails I’ll just have to learn the art of distraction. "What I do know is I will give it my all and aim to make Wales proud. I’m definitely going to try and combine my love of Opera into one of my routines. "Plus, after winning Celebrity MasterChef last year, maybe the route to the judges’ hearts will be through their stomachs!" In an interview with BBC Radio 2's Vernon Kay, Evans said that he was inspired by Bill Bailey's successful run on Strictly Come Dancing, in which he stormed to victory against the odds. He explained: "The classic ballroom stuff is what I'm looking forward to the most. Obviously, for 20 years I was an opera singer so we did a lot of classic ballroom in operas. Not a huge amount, not to any great level. "[But] I suppose that's the stuff I've got more affinity to... Viennese Waltz, stuff like that. The stuff I'm really nervous about is the stuff that needs any kind of jumping because I think I represent every portly, middle-aged father out there. "I don't really want to do the Jive and set a minor tsunami off in North London. I'm a bit nervous about that but I'm taking inspiration from Bill Bailey because he was brilliant on it." Strictly Come Dancing continues on Saturday 16th November at 6:45pm on BBC One and iPlayer.

Meet the cast of Married at First Sight UK 2024
***Warning: Spoilers ahead for Married at First Sight UK*** It has certainly been quite the season of Married at First Sight UK, with the number of couples dwindling as the weeks go by. Last night's dinner party (11th November) was drama-fuelled as Polly and Adam battled in a bitter row. Will their relationship finally hit breaking point during the final vows tonight (12th November)? Elsewhere, the homestays continue and the other set of couples get a taste of each other's home lives. Amy and Luke have had some difficulties during their homestays. During an explosive dinner party argument with Amy's friends, Luke stormed out. He placed his engagement ring on the table and concluded that maybe their relationship is 'not meant to be'. It appears that their relationship is still on the rocks this week as Amy has growing doubts about how genuine Luke is. Ross and Sacha struggle to come to a decision about where to permanently live. While Sacha wants to be close to her family in Walsall, Ross wants to live in Manchester so he can visit his daughter.

Big Brother 2024 cast: Confirmed line-up
Here's everything you need to know about this year's batch of housemates!
It's been a dramatic season thus far, but we're now about to enter the sixth and final week of Big Brother 2024, and are expecting twists aplenty as we head towards the grand final. The surprises have already started coming thick and fast, with both Lily and Khaled leaving the house on Friday 8th November in a double eviction. There are now just 9 housemates remaining, and we already know the final will see six of them competing for the title of Big Brother champion 2024 - meaning fans should expect some more departures as the upcoming week progresses. There's been plenty of tension as the show has progressed, and as we head into one final week, with the stakes higher than ever, will the house be divided even further? As the 2024 season continues, here is everything you need to know about the cast of Big Brother 2024. Big Brother 2024 cast Here is the full list of the Big Brother 2024 housemates: Baked Potato Emma Segun Nathan Daze (EVICTED) Khaled (EVICTED) Martha (EVICTED) Lily (EVICTED) Ali Thomas Ryan (EVICTED) Hanah Izaaz (EVICTED) Sarah Marcello Dean (EVICTED) Read on for everything you need to know about this year's housemates. Baked Potato Age: 29 Job: Dental assistant Location: Cornwall, originally Essex Baked Potato, AKA Rosie, has always wanted to do Big Brother and is feeling especially grateful her dreams have become a reality! "There is not one thing that I'm not excited about," said Baked Potato of her feelings on becoming a housemate. "I'm so excited to meet people - I love meeting new people. I'm so excited to play the tasks. Every time I watch it, I always think, 'That looks so silly, I want to do that so badly!'" Emma Age: 53 Job: Aesthetics business owner Location: Altrincham, originally Essex Emma says she put no thought whatsoever into her application for Big Brother and never in "a million years" did she think she'd hear back, admitting her "jaw dropped" when she did. "I'm going to bring peace and harmony and a whole lot of laughter," Emma said of what she's bringing into the Big Brother house. She added: "But saying that, I could go in there and be the one to cause all the drama. I would like to think I’m the peacemaker. People ask me if I'm going to be the mother hen in the house - I might have times where I'm the mother hen, but generally speaking I'll be one of the girls. I don't think I really act my age when I really should, so I can't see myself acting my age in Big Brother." Segun Age: 25 Job: Charity videographer Location: Watford Segun is keen to "blend with people from all different walks of life" in the Big Brother house, and plans to bring all kinds of energy and uplifting entertainment to the other housemates. Asked what he's looking forward to the most about being a housemate, Segun said: "The detach from life. And to learn about myself is one of the things I’m looking forward to the most. It's an environment that I've never been in before. And to be locked away from life will be interesting to see how I am and learn about myself while I'm in the house." Nathan Age: 24 Job: Pork salesman Location: Dumfries Former butler to the king, Nathan applied to Big Brother "purely for the experience" as he enjoys trying new things and pushing himself. Nathan doesn't have a strategy when it comes to making it to the final. "It's not like the X Factor where the best singer wins," he said. "If you look back at past winners, there's no common theme. I'm just going to go in, be myself - if people like me, happy days. If they don't and boot me out in the first week, then so be it." Ali Age: 38 Job: Forensic psychologist Location: London, originally from Leicester The main reason Ali applied for Big Brother is because she wanted to do something exciting that she can talk about for years to come, but she also wanted to meet new people and have an experience like no other. Asked what she's looking forward to the most about being a housemate, Ali said: "Just being away and thrown into a totally new environment, completely different to anything I've done before, completely different to anything I'll ever do in the future. "Something that maybe I would never have thought I would do. I'm really intrigued about who else might be in the house – I'm so nosy." Thomas Age: 20 Job: Amputee footballer Location: Carlisle Thomas likes to give everything a go, and Big Brother was a major "you only live once" opportunity for him. "I'm only young, and it's one of those experiences I can look back on and tell my kids, my grandkids what I've done," he said. "If I don't make it to the end then that's alright with me." Hanah Age: 24 Job: HR consultant Location: West London Hanah had multiple reasons for signing up to Big Brother, with one being people telling her that everyone needs to see her personality! She explained: "I'm a fun, childish person who loves to laugh and banter around." Another reason is that only a "small set of people" can say they've appeared on the show, and she's keen to tell her kids how "lit" their mum was. Sarah Age: 27 Job: Spa account manager Location: Shrewsbury Sarah is keen to do "one more crazy thing" before she settles down, and Big Brother seemed like the perfect opportunity! Planning on bringing good vibes to the house, Sarah won't be one to shy away from asking people's opinions - even if they are controversial. Marcello Age: 34 Job: Youth mentor Location: East London Marcello applied for Big Brother to test himself and to see where he could take his new-found confidence and his love for the world. "My main goal is to share the positivity and optimism I have in me," he explained. "Long term, I really think I can make an impact with people and help people grow." Former Big Brother 2024 contestants Ryan (EVICTED) Age: 28 Job: Marketing and events Location: Stockport, originally from Blackpool Ryan has always been a fan of Big Brother, and being a housemate has always been "a childhood dream" for him. "I feel like over the recent years it's gone a bit tame and people are in there for other motives, and I think having someone normal like me in there will shake it up," he said. Ryan was the first contestant to be evicted from the Big Brother house. Daze (EVICTED) Age: 24 Job: Climate activist Location: London Daze applied for Big Brother as she believed it was a good place to do something that gives her an opportunity to grow. She hoped to bring "a listening and empathetic ear" to the house. "Having space to listen to people and to chat with people," she said. "I'm a people person." Daze was the second person to be evicted from the Big Brother house. Izaaz (EVICTED) Age: 29 Job: Sales consultant Location: London, originally from Swansea Izaaz planned to bring "a lot of happiness and kindness" to the big Brother house, and reckoned he would be there for a lot of the housemates. "I'm not the type of person to fall out with anyone, and if I did, I'd make up for it," he explained. "I think I'll bring a lot of positivity to the group." He was the third contestant to be evicted from the house and said on Big Brother Late & Live: "I was excited both ways. To be honest, I would have loved to experience the rest but I miss my family, my son obviously, so it was quite hard in there." Martha (EVICTED) Age: 26 Job: NHS administrator Location: Scarborough, originally from Margate Martha has a penchant for googling random things, and was hoping to bring "a bit of fun and a lot of laughs" into the Big Brother house. "I think it's important to enjoy the good moments and funny moments in life and take it all with a pinch of salt," she said. She was the fourth housemate to be evicted. Dean (EVICTED) Age: 35 Job: Barber Location: East London Dean had been a fan of Big Brother "for the longest time", and ever since he was 11 years old had wanted to do it, but he never had the confidence. But as he got older, Dean was still obsessed, and as soon as it returned he thought it was his time to apply. He added: "I really want to have a great time and experience everything that Big Brother has to offer - the highs, the lows, the good, the bad, the fun, the not so fun. I want it all." He was the fifth housemate to be evicted. Lily (EVICTED) Age: 20 Job: Chinese takeaway server Location: Warrington Lily originally applied for Big Brother because it was her ex partner's favourite TV show, but she didn't think she'd actually get on it! Hoping to bring good vibes to the Big Brother house, Lily is looking forward to not living with her parents and having no one to tell her to wash the dishes or to clean her room. She was the sixth contestant to be evicted, in a double eviction with Khaled. Khaled (EVICTED) Age: 23 Job: Sales manager Location: Manchester Khaled had originally thought Big Brother was a show about being a carer, but when he soon came up to speed, he thought it'd be a new opportunity to take on. He explained: "I have no interest in being famous. I'm Lebanese and Palestinian and I thought this would be a great platform to discuss it from the point of view of someone that grew up in the west and has Middle Eastern heritage." He was the seventh housemate to be evicted, leaving in a double eviction with Lily. Big Brother continues Sunday to Friday at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Is Blackpool Week happening on Strictly this year?
Will we see the celebrities take to the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom this year?
For many Strictly Come Dancing fans, Blackpool Week is one of the most highly anticipated highlights of the entire season. Set in the Blackpool Tower Ballroom, the special episode often brings a new level of sparkle and nostalgia to the competition. The performances at Blackpool are usually on a grander scale, with additional back-up dancers, elaborate props, and even more theatrics than normal. Making it to Blackpool is also a symbol of how far the contestants have come in their dance journeys - making it to the iconic ballroom is a great achievement. With the higher stakes and intense spotlight, it’s a chance for couples to prove they’re in it to win it, potentially gaining momentum heading into the final weeks of the show. But will Blackpool Week be happening on Strictly Come Dancing this year? Here’s everything we know so far. Is Blackpool Week happening on Strictly this year? Yes! The BBC has confirmed that Blackpool Week is on the agenda for 2024. On Sunday (3rd November), Chris McCausland took to X, formerly Twitter, to confirm the news, writing, "Well, here we are, one show away from Blackpool and two shows away from Dianne's parents getting to see her dance in person."

When is the Love is Blind season 7 reunion on Netflix? Release date and attendees
As the reunion looms, which couples are still together?
***Warning: Spoilers for Love Is Blind season 7*** Brace yourselves, Love Is Blind fans: It's reunion time! That's right, the couples, singles and even past contestants from Love Is Blind will be reuniting on our TV screens this week. The cast will rehash all the drama, update fans on their lives, set some records straight and unpack all the twists and turns that season 7 had to offer! Seven couples got engaged by the end of their time in the pods, but only two actually said "I do" at the altar! In the final episode, Marissa and Ramses shockingly split after Ramses called off their engagement just days before their wedding. Taylor and Garrett and Ashley and Tyler tied the knot, but the reunion will confirm if the couples are still together months after the show was filmed. As you get over the shocking events of the finale, read on for everything you need to know about the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion. What will happen at the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion? Netflix would never reveal everything, but judging by the dramatic it trailer released, we have an idea of the main talking points. During the season, a shocking revelation about Tyler came to light. Just two weeks before their wedding, Tyler confessed to Ashley that he had three children – much to her surprise. Although she was initially hesitant about why Tyler omitted this information, they worked through it and went ahead with the wedding. However, this decision has sparked significant backlash and further speculation from fans online. Fans of the dating show are eager to find out if the couple actually stayed together and how they have navigated this complex situation. In the trailer, Tyler addresses the online speculation, saying, "I don't owe anyone an explanation but Ashley." Meanwhile, Ashley appears to defend him, stating, "Who has more insight on what's going on, social media or me?" All will finally be revealed this week. Another shocking moment came when Ramses called off his wedding with Marissa, breaking her heart in the process. From the start, they seemed to be the most in love, but conflicting views on politics and birth control created fractures in their relationship. In the reunion trailer, we hear Marissa's mum telling Ramses how he "broke her" when he unexpectedly called off the wedding. The former couple appear to go back and forth, but how will things between them ultimately be resolved? When is the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion? The Love Is Blind season 7 reunion will drop on Netflix on Wednesday 30th October, just a week after the finale episode releasing on the streamer. It'll be released in the US at 9pm Eastern Time, which is 2am BST – so whether you're a night owl or an early bird, it'll be waiting for you! Who will attend the Love Is Blind season 7 reunion? Of course, Love Is Blind hosts Nick and Vanessa Lachey will be back to lead the reunion and ask all the difficult questions. Alongside them, Netflix has officially revealed who will be attending the reunion special. The couples that tied the knot – Taylor and Garrett, and Ashley and Tyler – will be in attendance. Other couples who got engaged but split during the experiment – Monica and Stephen, Hannah and Nick, Alexandra and Tim, and Marissa and Ramses – will also be there. After much speculation, Brittany and Leo, who got engaged in the pods but were not chosen to go to Mexico with the other couples, are confirmed to be part of the reunion as well. In a blast from the past, ex-Love Is Blind contestants from various seasons will be front row at the reunion, ready to chime in on the drama.

In the cooking competition's 17th season, 32 of the UK's most promising chefs will battle it out in the MasterChef kitchen for the title of 2024 champion. This year, presenter Gregg Wallace and chefs Monica Galetti and Marcus Wareing are all confirmed to be returning as judges for the culinary competition show. In tonight’s first heat, the first four chefs will enter the kitchen, all hoping to secure a place in Friday’s quarter-final.

Throughout the competition, they face a variety of intense challenges that test their skills, including cooking for critics and guest chefs, invention tests, catering tasks, service trials in top restaurants, and hosting a chef’s table. In the final week, the field narrows to just four contestants, who then battle for the top spot. But who will be taking to our screens this year? Here's everything you need to know about the new faces of MasterChef: The Professionals 2024. MasterChef: The Professional Chefs Heat one Gaston Age: 29 From: Lives in Queen’s Park, London, grew up in Paris and Burgundy in France. Gaston studied at a culinary school in Burgundy and began his career in Paris, working under renowned chefs like Franck Graux at Le Dôme and Christophe Langrée at Le Faust. He moved to London 10 years ago to further his dreams, working as a sous chef and crafting menus for Cepáge[s], a wine bar in Notting Hill. Eight years ago, Gaston created his own private cheffing business for personal and corporate clients globally. Gaston explained that his family inspired his career. He said: "I was inspired to become a chef by my grandparents, who instilled a love and appreciation for food at home. For me, food has always been a source of joy and hope, especially during difficult times at school." When asked why he wanted to take part in MasterChef, he said: "I applied because I want to showcase my pride in cooking French cuisine with lovely, well-sourced British ingredients. I am also turning 30 soon and want to make this a memorable year!" Chloe Age: 26 From: Hayes, West London 26-year-old junior sous chef Chloe doesn't come from a foodie family, but still developed a love for cooking. She said: "I grew up on nuggets and chips. However, my nan loved to bake, and doing that with her really inspired me. I then started watching all the cooking shows growing up, and it made me really want to become a chef myself." Chloe made her start studying Professional Cookery at Kent College. After graduating, she went on to work at restaurants including the Michelin-starred Glasshouse, Duck and Waffle, The Georgian House and more recently Kitchen W8. She currently works at The Tin Shed in Notting Hill. The junior sous chef explained that she did initially hesitate to apply for the fierce competition: "I am really nervous about the competition and applying was a big step. I’ve never had the confidence to do it, but now I finally feel ready. I have great support around me. My family and my girlfriend encouraged me to go for it, and I thought, why not." Nkosi Age: 25 From: Harrow, London, born in Zimbabwe and grew up in Northamptonshire Sous chef Nkosi was born in Zimbabwe and moved to the UK at three years old with his mum and sisters. He studied Culinary Arts at the University of West London, then went on to work as a commis chef at the Michelin-starred Goring Hotel.

Nkosi revealed that his brother-in-law,who worked at Jamie Oliver's restaurant at the time, inspired him to cook. He explained, "I loved the food, the camaraderie of the kitchen and the whole structure of it. It was then I decided to go on to study catering at university." When asked why he applied to MasterChef, he said, "My friends and family have been telling me to apply to MasterChef: The Professionals for a few years now. I want to test myself outside of the traditional kitchen environments I’ve worked in. From a professional standpoint, I feel confident that now is the time to try to get my name out there!" Toby Age: 40 From: Bishop Auckland, County Durham Toby's career in the culinary world started later on in life, after changing careers at 27 years old. Previously, he tried a number of different careers, from gardening to being a voluntary firefighter. After studying professional cookery, he got a job at two-Michelin-starred restaurant Raby Hunt. Now, Toby works at Spanish tapas restaurant El Castillo at the Auckland Project, a regeneration charity development project for the Bishop Auckland area. The 40-year-old chef hopes to bring new flavours to the UK. He explained: "I’ve always appreciated food and my passion developed through travelling across Asia and Australia as I experienced how food brings people together, as well as new ingredients and combinations I hadn’t seen in the UK. I have developed a fierce passion for flavours and quality." Toby took on the challenge of MasterChef to develop his skills and support his family. He said: "I’d like to fully establish my style, build my future and improve my expertise. I think that being able to work with other chefs, see their styles and influences as well as receiving critiques will help to set me on my future path."

When can fans expect to head back to SW3?
Made in Chelsea fans, assemble: everyone's favourite SW3 socialites are back! The cast were last on our screens back in the previous season in June, and there was a lot of drama. In season 28, there are new feuds, the return of some OG cast members and some surprising love triangles. Season 27 ended on some big cliffhangers, including Ruby Adler professing her love for Reza Amiri-Garroussi. Now the show is back, we will finally find out if they got back together. And that's not all there is to look forward to, with a spin-off show titled Beyond Chelsea, which will mark the returns of former Made in Chelsea stars Binky Felstead, Rosie Fortescue and Lucy Watson, coming to E4 this week! But for now, read on for everything you need to know about Made in Chelsea season 28. Made in Chelsea season 28 release date Made in Chelsea returned to E4 on Monday 21st October at a later time of 10:35pm. The show's return was confirmed with a very dramatic trailer, teasing a clash between Miles and James over Maeva, as well as old faces making a return to SW3. What could happen in Made in Chelsea season 28? Well, there is plenty to be followed up on from what went down in season 27. As the show returned to our screens, everything became clear. Season 27 ended on a massive cliffhanger, after Ruby Adler told her ex-boyfriend, Reza Amiri-Garroussi, that she was still in love with him. But as season 28 began, it appears they have both remained single. The feud between Maeva D'Ascanio's former love interest, Miles Nazaire, and her husband, James Taylor, has reignited, with James's little brother Jack also getting involved. Nazaire and Taylor go head-to-head after Miles spoke passionately about his past relationship with Maeva in the press, much to James's dismay. However, it appears Maeva is stirring the pot, as she sends a voice note to Nazaire. Last season, Maeva and James were trying to work on their relationship after they were open about their marital struggles. Will this never-ending drama with Miles put even more strain on their relationship? Elsewhere, Tristan Phipps's love life remains front and centre this season, and it seems another love triangle is forming. His love interest, Molly from Made in Bondi, shows up in SW3, ready to make a go of things with him. However, his former romantic interest, Julia Pollard, is very much still hoping they will get back on track, even though she dramatically kissed Vanders on a night out – which did not sit well with Tristan. Vanderpump is in hot water yet again. In the first episode of the season, it's revealed that he asked to go on a date with Harvey Armstrong's love interest, newbie Zeyno Taylan. It looks like they will both be fighting for her affection this season. If you've been following the cast on social media, you'll know there's an upcoming cast trip to Antigua. If this holiday is anything like Made in Chelsea: Mauritius or Corsica, we're in for a treat! Many eagle-eyed reality TV fans spotted a familiar face with the cast in the Caribbean, Love Island's Casey O'Gorman. It's been reported that he will be joining the show this season, and he has shared a lot of behind-the-scenes posts on social media while filming in the sunshine. There are also rumours swirling that O'Gorman might strike up a romance with Julia Pollard. How will Tristan handle having some competition? Made in Chelsea season 28 cast: Who's returning? The following cast members are set to make an appearance: James Taylor Harvey Armstrong Sam Prince Yas Zweegers Maeva D'Ascanio Paris Smith Tristan Phipps Miles Nazaire David 'Temps' Templer Ruby Adler Lauren Sintes Emily Blackwell Reza Amiri-Garroussi Tina Stinnes Sam Vanderpump Jack Taylor Julia Pollard Zeyno Taylan Ollie Locke Sophie Hermann Casey O'Gorman Will Liv Bentley be returning for Made In Chelsea season 28? Liv Bentley is certainly a fan favourite, but she has been taking a break from filming. It was announced back in March that the reality star would be stepping back from the Channel 4 series to focus on her business. However, it's been reported that she might make an appearance this season. Fingers crossed! Made in Chelsea airs every Monday at 10:35pm on E4.
