description: It's back and bigger than ever.
encoded: Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is back for another thrilling season and there's a major twist that is set to put decades of rivalry to the test. The new run, coming in January 2026, will see 14 British and Australian celebrities face the most punishing challenge of their lives. As ever, the celebrities will be leaving their lives of luxury behind for the harsh realities of Special Forces training. In the brutal heat of North Africa, the celebrities will embark on a savage, condensed version of SAS selection that they won't be able to charm, spin or tweet their way out of. Competing in Team UK are TV and social media personalities Dani Dyer, Gabby Allen, Jack Joseph and Cole Anderson-James, rugby player Ben Cohen, Gladiator star Toby Olubi and cricketer Gareme Swann. Meanwhile on Team Australia, the celebrities taking part will include former Married at First Sight Australia breakout star Jessika Power, actors Ryan Moloney, Axle Whitehead and Natalie Bassingthwaite, cricketer Brad Hodge and Olympians Emily Seebohm and Mack Horton. They will all be stripped of their public identities, luxuries and excuses and met with a brutal physical and mental course, led by Chief Instructor, Billy Bilingham MBE and his team of Directing Staff - Foxy (Jason Fox), Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver. The synopsis teases: "The UK and Aussie recruits are put under extreme pressure as every mistake is punished, every crack exploited, every weakness dragged into the open. Not everyone will have what it takes to make it to the end as bonds snap, egos shatter, and recruits are pushed so far past their limits they forget they ever had any. "But when the dust settles, one question remains: will any of these celebrities make it to the end of this physically demanding and psychologically gruelling course and impress the DS enough to pass the course? And, more importantly, will the UK or Australia emerge victorious when the rivalry finally reaches its breaking point?" Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins retu…

description: Meet the celebrity couple taking on the ultimate race.
encoded: The adventure continues for the Celebrity Race Across the World pairs as they make their way to the penultimate checkpoint on their journey across South America. Returning tonight (4th December), the pairs head to their next checkpoint in Medellín, but standing in their way is the notorious and dangerous Darién Gap, which they must bypass it by sea, but it'll leave a lasting effect on their budgets. Among the pairs hoping to make it to the next checkpoint in time are Molly Rainford and Tyler West, who spent their anniversary in Cancún during episode one. As ever, they along with the other airs, have been handed a budget equal to the cost of a plane ticket for the same route. This time, that translates to a meagre £30 a day, which is one of the tightest allowances in the show's history. As the race continues, here's everything you need to know about the duo on Celebrity Race Across the World 2025. Who are Molly and Tyler? Relationship: Couple From: London Jobs Actress/singer and TV presenter/radio DJ Instagram: @mollyrainford and @tylerwestt Molly Rainford is a 24-year-old actress best known for her role as Anna Knight in EastEnders, although she made her TV debut much earlier at just 12 years old, when she made it to the final of the sixth series of Britains Got Talent as a singer. Molly met her fiancé, 29-year-old radio DJ Tyler West, who currently presents the afternoon show on KissFM, after they both took part in Strictly Come Dancing in 2022. Appearing on Lorraine, Tyler said taking part in the race together was "tough" with Molly adding: "It was probably the biggest test to be like, can I marry this person?" Tyler even admitted to Radio Times magazine: "There were times when I thought about trading Molly for a mountain goat to get some extra money to race! But it obviously worked out in the end, because we got engaged after the trip…" If you're planning a trip abroad, read our financial expert's advice on what to consider before going on holiday Why did Molly a…

encoded: Peep Show fans are currently counting down the days until the cast of the hit sitcom reunite for a Christmas episode of The Great British Bake Off. The one-off festive special was recently announced by Channel 4 and will see Peep Show stars David Mitchell, Olivia Colman, Isy Suttie, Matt King and Sophie Winkleman donning their aprons in a bid to win over judges Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood. But many have been wondering why Robert Webb, who played Jeremy 'Jez' Usbourne until the show wrapped in 2015, isn't heading into the Bake Off tent as well. Webb has now explained to RadioTimes.com why he isn't taking part – and it was all down to a prior filming commitment. "I couldn't do it, I was working," the 53-year-old explained. "I do a kids' show called High Hoops, which is about a girls' basketball team for CBBC, and I was in Yorkshire doing that. "I was already being very mean about my availability for them, so if I’d asked for another three days off, I think it would have been very unfair." However, the star went on to say that it was a shame to have missed out on the fun – despite not being a keen baker himself. "I was sad to miss out, it would have been great," added Webb when speaking at the recent Rose d’Or Awards. "[But] I've never baked a thing in my life! "I quite like cooking, but I’ve never baked much. It wasn’t that that stopped me though, I was working." Webb then added with his tongue firmly in his cheek: “Some of us have got to work for a living – not like Olivia Colman!” It was recently confirmed that The Great Celebrity Bake Off will air on Christmas Day at 7:40pm. The special, hosted by Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding, promises "laughter and chaos" as the famous bakers take on various challenges that pay homage to Peep Show. Other highlights across Channel 4’s Christmas schedules include Finding Father Christmas, The Great Festive Pottery Throwdown, and not one, but two Taskmaster specials. The fourth Champion of Champions will be broadcast on 22nd De…

Tonight (4th December), the teams must travel from the islands of Bocas del Toro on northern Panama's Caribbean coast to Medellín, Colombia's second-largest city. But standing in their way is the notorious and dangerous Darién Gap. For the teams, their only option is to bypass it by sea, all while enduring a lengthy and costly boat journey, which could put their dwindling budgets under pressure. Among the teams are brother-and-sister duo Roman and Harleymoon Kemp, who this week, are confronted with a heightened security risk on the route to Medellín... As the race continues, here's everything you need to know about contestants and siblings Roman and Harleymoon Kemp. Who are Roman and Harleymoon? Relationship: Brother and sister From: London Jobs: Radio DJ and singer/songwriter Instagram: @romankemp and @harleymoonkemp Roman Kemp is a 32-year-old radio DJ and presenter, best known for hosting the breakfast show on CapitalFM from 2017 to 2024. He is taking part in the race alongside his older sister, 36-year-old Harleymoon, who is a singer/songwriter. Roman and Harleymoon are the children of musicians Martin Kemp and Shirlie Holliman, who independently found success in the '80s as part of the bands Spandeau Ballet and Wham! respectively. Roman struggled with the language whilst racing through the South American continent, telling Radio Times magazine that he kept "mistakenly telling everyone Harley was 'my beautiful' – mi hermosa – instead of 'my sister' – mi hermana – for at least a week."

It's been almost two weeks since the original line-up of 10 celebrities entered the jungle. Since then, they've well and truly been put through the ringer, facing some chilling beasties and creepy crawlies in the camp alone, not to mention the horrors of the trials. But they couldn't all stay in the jungle playing happy families forever. Alex Scott and Eddie Kadi became the first two celebrities to leave the jungle, followed by Vogue Williams and then Kelly Brook. But just as the campmates got comfy, time was up for yet another famous face to bid farewell. But who was it? Read on for everything you need to know about the eliminated campmates so far. Who left I'm a Celebrity 2025? Ruby Wax Audiences were left shocked upon discovering that Ruby Wax was the fifth celebrity to be leaving the I'm a Celebrity jungle. Speaking to hosts Ant and Dec of her exit, Ruby said: "I’d done a show in a jungle so I thought, with people, it would be really interesting. But this is family and I’m really sad I’ve lost them. "I was the queen, not voted the queen. Suddenly they become your servants, when you’re the leader you believe… I can’t believe I’ve been voted out." Kelly Brook Kelly Brook became the fourth campmate to be voted out by the public and therefore out of the running to be the next Queen of the Jungle. Speaking of her time in the jungle, Kelly said: "What a fabulous group of people. It's been brilliant but I am so ready to come out. "It's a dream and so beautiful in there. It would have been nice to get to the final but there are people in there that want it more than me." Vogue Williams Despite being a late entry into the jungle, Vogue Williams left the competition early and became the third celebrity to be eliminated from I'm a Celebrity 2025. The podcaster said it felt "good" to be out of the jungle, admitting that: "It was getting pretty hard, I'm so hungry, but…

description: The host reveals he was inspired to leave city life behind by the TV series he now presents.
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. As you can tell from my accent, which I like to say is as broad as my shoulders, I’m from the Black Country – not the countryside. I grew up on a council estate in Smethwick that had the nickname Concrete Jungle. I’m very proud of where I come from, but I didn’t encounter much green as a child and the only rural scenes I knew were the views from the train on football trips, following West Bromwich Albion for away games. That and a yearly holiday to Devon. After Smethwick I studied journalism in Leeds, and then, when I got a job on Zoe Ball’s breakfast show at Radio 2, I moved to London. I could hardly have had a more urban start to life. But now when we wake up in the mornings, my partner Dean and I can hear the cows mooing. Draw back the curtains and we see green fields and trees. Open the window and we can smell the muck being spread by the farmer. So, how did I get here? You could say my life’s been changed by a television programme. When I first moved down south, I was very excited. I had a dream job and the big city was all mine. But in reality, I struggled with life in London. Away from my other half, I was living on my own and finding the truth in that old cliché – big cities can be lonely places. Not just that; working in the TV and radio industry in London can feel like living at 100 miles an hour and I found it impossible to switch off. Life in the capital was making me unhappy. One thing kept my spirits up. When I returned home, I’d have a nap in the afternoon and would often wake up in time for Escape to the Country on BBC One. I found I was increasingly looking forward to a show that offered a glimpse of a better, calmer life away from the city. I began to realise that I needed my own escape to the country. One episode in particular convinced me to take the plunge. It came from Northamptonshire, which was described as “like the Cotswolds without the crowds”. It was also perfectly positioned between th…

description: "I bow down in awe," said Clarkson.
encoded: Jeremy Clarkson has ruffled some feathers by questioning how much of hit BBC TV show The Traitors is "for real". While noting that he loves the show and describing it as a "belter", the former Top Gear presenter appeared to question whether some of the events of The Traitors are orchestrated by producers. According to The Sun, the Clarkson's Farm star said: "Come on, I’ve worked in television for 30 years. You’re not going to spend that much money on a programme where there’s a risk it all falls to pieces. "So, I’ve no idea how they’re doing it, but I bow down to them." He added: "I just don’t believe it’s all for real, because nothing in television is. I’m sitting there going, how are they doing this? It could just be unbelievably painstaking editing." Asked if he thought producers could be manipulating the show behind the scenes, he answered: "They must be, and I’m not just being a cynic, I know how television is made. "You can’t actually say to a contestant, ‘Say this’ and ‘say that’, you can’t but..." Clarkson has since clarified his comments in a post on X, suggesting that the editors are the show's real secret weapon. He wrote: "Whoa. People are saying I think that Traitors is faked. What I actually said is that I bow down in awe to the people who edit it." View oEmbed on the source website Studio Lambert has responded to Clarkson's claims and explained that producers are "very hands-off". Sam Rees-Jones, who oversees The Traitors US, said: "We’ve created the game and the format’s there, and we let them play it. We’re very hands-off producer-wise. We don’t tell people to go and talk to certain people. We don’t tell them because we don’t want to impact on the game." Clarkson's remarks come after a fourth season of The Traitors – the regular civilian version – was recently confirmed to begin on New Year's Day. This follows the huge success of the first ever celebrity iteration of the show, which received over 15 million consolidated views and crowned comedian Al…

encoded: The Celebrity Apprentice will be coming to TV screens for a new instalment just in time for Christmas. To mark the show's 20th anniversary, the two-part special will air in partnership with Pudsey in aid of Children In Need. Earlier this winter, the BBC announced the flurry of famous faces who would be taking part and now, we finally know when they'll be on screen showing off their business acumen. The first instalment of the two-part special will air on Monday 29th December with the concluding episode following the next day on Tuesday 30th December – both at 9pm. The celebrity line-up includes the likes of Miranda actress Sarah Hadland, judge and TV personality Rob Rinder and EastEnders actor Jake Wood. It's been six years since the last celebrity spin-off of the show and this time round, audiences will watch on as the 12 candidates head to snowy Lapland in Finland to create a seasonal biscuit. The famous faces will then have to pitch their biscuit to UK retailers who will actually then sell the biscuit across stores in the UK, a first in the show's history. A percentage of the profits will go to Children in Need. Paul Broadbent, Director of Programmes at Naked, said: "We are delighted to announce The Celebrity Apprentice: Christmas Specials. "Not only will the two special episodes be immensely entertaining, but the biscuits made and sold in the lead up to the show airing will be raising vital funds for BBC Children in Need – it’s a win win. "The Apprentice has always been the ultimate test of business acumen and resilience. Now, with well-known faces stepping up to the challenge, we can’t wait to see how they fare under pressure." Tommy Nagra, Director of Content at BBC Children in Need, added: "This is the first time we have partnered with The Celebrity Apprentice.

The BBC has confirmed that the first series concluded its run with an incredible 15 million viewers, which has seen the biggest on demand audience of any series across the market at seven days since records began. The sixth episode has seen the highest 28-day figure for the series so far at 15.2 million. In addition, the series to date at 28 days has averaged 14.8 million viewers per episode, with 3.1 million 16-34 year olds tuning in. The series saw a star-studded cast of 19 celebrities enter the iconic Traitors castle ready to play the ultimate game of detection, backstabbing and trust. In the end, Alan Carr was announced as the winner, raising a whopping £87,500 for his chosen charity, Neuroblastoma UK. Shortly after its conclusion, the BBC confirmed its renewal, alongside the publication of a new Economic Impact Report, which reveals The Traitors franchise – including the UK, US, and Celebrity editions – has generated an estimated £21.8 million boost in Gross Value Added (GVA) to Scotland’s economy since filming began in 2022. Hayley Valentine, Director of BBC Scotland, said: "The Traitors is an immense TV success story and it’s fantastic to have multiple versions of it filmed in Scotland. We welcome and celebrate it. "This report highlights the many ways that Scotland is seeing a direct economic benefit from The Traitors filming here and, working together with our partners, we will use this success to promote sustainable growth within Scotland’s creative industry."

It was a week of highs and lows for the celebs, with both Amber Davies and Karen Carney securing their first ever perfect scores, before each of the stars took part in the chaotic Instant Dance challenge. However, not everyone can go through to the next week's show, which will be Musicals Week, with two couples ending up in the dance off - Balvinder Sopal and Alex Kingston. The judges ultimately decided to save Balvinder, with Alex becoming the latest star to leave the competition after performing the Cha Cha to Ring My Bell by Anita Ward with partner Johannes Radebe. When asked by presenter Tess Daly about her time on the show, Alex said: “I had never in my wildest dreams imagined that I would last this long. It’s been just the most incredible journey for me. I feel quite proud of myself because I’ve loved the process, I mean 100%, you can tell by my smile. Everyone always says that their dance partner is a friend for life, but JoJo really will be.” When asked by Tess about their brilliant partnership, Johannes added: “I’ve never grinned as much as I have in the last few weeks. Thank you Alex for being a trooper, I will hold on to the memories. As far as the dancing goes, I think we’ve achieved what we wanted to achieve. These memories are just the beginning for us, we can say that we are very much a Strictly family.” It was a difficult week for Alex, who admitted that she wasn't happy with her performance. She agreed with the judges' critiques - even after a particularly brutal comment from Craig Revel Horwood, who declared that her performance got "worse and worse and worse". "The thing is, when I'm watching the show as a member of the public, most of the time I do agree with Craig," she said. "So now that I'm in it, I can't go 'Oh no, he's talking rubbish,' because I know myself watching the telly would agree with him…

description: One fan even thinks the brand new Instant Dance challenge should win a BAFTA...
encoded: Ever since it was announced earlier this month that Strictly Come Dancing would be introducing a brand new dance challenge, fans have been desperate to see how it would shape up. Now, finally, we've seen the first iteration of Instant Dance – and it's safe to say it was a pretty chaotic experience! The challenge started with the couples wearing dressing gowns, before they were each given an envelope containing a piece of paper that revealed which dance style they'd be performing. They were then played a brief snippet of the song they'd be dancing to before being taken to a clothing rack to choose their outfits. After a hurried change backstage – which included some slightly surreal moments and a bizarrely dressed Nikita Kuzmin declaring his love for live TV – the couples then took their places on the stairs, and were given ten seconds each to plan a 40-second routine. First up, Alex and Johannes performed a Rumba to Show Me Heaven by Maria McKee, followed by George and Alexis's Tango to Prince’s When Doves Cry and Lewis and Katya's Jive to Wake Me Up Before You Go Go by Wham. Next up, Balvinder and Julian performed a Paso Doble to The Animals’s Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood, before Karen and Carlos danced a Cha Cha Cha to The Four Seasons hit Beggin’ and Amber and Nikita closed things up with a Samba to Shakira's Whenever Wherever. The studio audience appeared to be loving the experience, with Claudia declaring that "everyone has goosebumps." And the judges seemed no less excited by the whole affair, with a delighted Anton Du Beke exclaiming that he wanted to see the challenge repeated every week and remarking that some of the celebs had danced better in the challenge than in their earlier routines. After a brief deliberation, Craig Revel Horwood announced that the judges had decided to award 1 point to Karen and Carlos, 2 to George and Alexis, 3 to Alex and Johannes and 4 to Amber and Nikita. He then handed over to Shirley Ballas to reveal the final two, with Lewis…

The new format twist – which saw each couple given just 10 seconds to plan a 40-second routine – provided plenty of chaos and went down a treat with fans of the show, many of whom are already calling for it to become a regular feature. As well as making for some very entertaining TV, the challenge also shook up the leaderboard, with the 4 points awarded to Amber and Nikita putting them top when added to their perfect 40 for their main routine earlier on the show. Karen and Carlos also received the maximum score for their first routine, but finished bottom in the Instant Dance challenge which meant that Lewis and Katya – who placed first in the challenge – leapfrogged them into second place. With things really heating up in the competition, the remaining Strictly contestants will be hoping they've done enough to book their place in next week's musicals themed quarter finals – and now it's over to the public vote. Because this season has been different when it comes to how viewers can cast their votes, we at Radio Times think it's important to bring you all the latest voting info in one clear, concise and handy guide.

encoded: Alex Kingston had the tricky task of opening this week's episode of Strictly Come Dancing – and unfortunately the Doctor Who star wasn't at her best, admitting to making several mistakes during her Cha Cha routine. That led to some pretty harsh comments from the judges, especially Craig Revel Horwood, who told her that the performance got "worse and worse and worse". But speaking to Claudia Winkleman backstage, Alex explained that she had no complaints about his feedback, while also pointing out that at this stage of the competition the dancing was beginning to take its toll on her physically. "The thing is, when I'm watching the show as a member of the public, most of the time I do agree with Craig," she said. "So now that I'm in it, I can't go 'Oh no, he's talking rubbish,' because I know myself watching the telly would agree with him." She continued: "Also I feel like this is a time just to sort of talk to the public, actually, about where we're all at as competitive dancers in this. And it's never really discussed, when you're at the sharp end, how our bodies are really suffering." After Claudia pointed out that the rest of the contestants and dancers were nodding along in agreement, Alex added: "My 62-year-old self is saying, 'What are you putting me through?' But my spirit and my soul is going "la la la la la, I don't want to know. I want to keep on dancing." "But there is a point where you go, this is what the life of a dancer is like. And all of these dancers know what I'm going though or what the other contestants are going through which is physical problems and fatigue and stuff like that – but it's still a competition."

I like to have eight hours of sleep, I like to eat nice things, I like to just chill out and I never put myself out of my comfort zone. "Then when I turned 40, I started to get scared of ridiculous things. I didn’t want to be this person. Doing this is such a massive life experience and it is not …

description: Nobody is immune from cancer, so don't delay screenings, writes The Last Leg host Adam Hills.
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. My dad had stomach cancer when he was 55 and leukaemia when he was 69. Just before he died he told me, “Good luck with everything in London.” When I was asked, two years later, to host Stand Up to Cancer, his words had even more resonance. I felt like he’d been saying, “Do this for me.” My dad died at the end of 2012. It’s 13 years down the track, but I still feel like I’m doing this for him. My co-presenter and friend Davina McCall’s connection to cancer has become even more personal over the last couple of weeks, having revealed she’s undergone surgery for breast cancer. She’s said it was caught “very, very early, which is incredibly lucky”. When I saw the news, I sent her a message saying, “I’m always amazed by the amount of preparation you do for Stand Up to Cancer, but you’ve gone above and beyond the call of duty this year!” Her response? Well, she wrote back, “This is why I f**king love you!” I’ve said this many times: the best way to make brilliant live TV is to stand next to Davina McCall. Her message is to get checked, don’t delay. That sums up exactly what we want to say with Stand Up to Cancer. We need to get that message out there. According to figures from Cancer Research UK, at least nine million people in the UK aren’t up to date with their cancer screening. I admit that I’ve also, in the past, felt a fear of screening. In Australia, you have a bowel cancer test when you’re 50. [Bowel cancer screenings are offered to people over 50 in England, Scotland and Wales and those over 60 in Northern Ireland]. I didn’t do mine until I was 54. I feared the worst and was squeamish about posting an envelope with my poo in it. Now I understand the importance of not delaying and of getting checked early. It can literally save your life. In 2024, the Princess of Wales and the King both announced their cancer diagnoses. That is a reminder that anyone can get it. Nobody is immune because of rank, privilege or wealt…

What are embarrassing TV moments in an age where nobody actually gets cancelled and there's no such thing as bad publicity?

description: We used to enjoy watching celebrities go off-piste – but now those moments are called "content" and have lost their frisson.
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. It’s not often you feel sorry for Tom Cruise. Whether he’s diving headfirst into Paris’s Olympic stadium, defying gravity perched aloft Dubai’s Burj Khalifa or just donning a pair of Ray-bans to ride a motorbike along an ocean-front, he invariably epitomises cool, as if he were the love child of The Fonz and Huggy Bear – that is, with one exception. In 2005, he turned up on Oprah Winfrey’s chat show, ostensibly to promote his latest film. Instead, intent on expressing his love for future wife Katie Holmes, he variously shook his host’s shoulders, fist-pumped the floor and finally leapt onto the couch. Were we all having what he was having? Not so much. Instead, Winfrey spoke for everyone when she pointed out, “We’ve never seen you behave this way before.” In that brief, shining moment, Cruise “went viral” before it was a thing and proved he shares hallowed turf with Noel Edmonds (solemnly addressing his own Guardian statue in his recent documentary), Holly Willoughby (asking This Morning viewers, “Are you OK?” We’re fine!), Guy Goma (who went for a job interview at the BBC and ended up live on News 24) and Judy Finnigan (jaw-droppingly top-dropping at the NTA Awards). All have given us TV moments to watch through our fingers but never fully turn away from. Now they’re among those featured in an irresistible 5 documentary series (most embarrassing of all, it includes your friendly columnist as a nodding head, but don’t let that put you off). But why can’t we get enough of such clips? What puts the “fest” in “cringe”? View oEmbed on the source website It ill becomes us to dwell on the most obvious answer, everyone’s favourite German word schadenfreude, that is, pleasure derived from another’s misfortune, but it’s clearly a factor. Specifically, though, TV aims to offer us a world shinier, blander and more scripted than our real lives, so when humanity in all its foibles succeeds in breaking through, it’s both immens…

encoded: The final date for I’m a Celebrity 2025 has been unveiled, with ITV announcing an extended episode for the annual TV event. The 25th season of the show, which has thrown a new line-up of twelve celebrities including Shona McGarty, Alex Scott and Martin Kemp, into the Australian jungle camp, is already into its second week. And now it’s been confirmed that the final will air on ITV on Sunday 7th December. The episode will begin at the usual time of 9pm and run all the way through until 10.40pm, meaning fans will get an hour and 40 minutes of jungle drama. I'm a Celebrity 2025 returned to our screens on 16th November, introducing fans to the first 10 famous faces in the line-up, before Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson were revealed as this year's late arrivals on 20th November. There have been plenty of dramatic moments on the show so far, but Wednesday's (26th November) episode saw tension ramp up even further as the campmates were split for a new ‘Rivals’ challenge. The new format saw the contestants pitted against each other in head-to-head Bushtucker Trials, with the public voting for the pairings. The winners in the trials, which included Lisa Riley, Vogue Williams, Jack Osbourne, Ruby Wax, Alex Scott and Angry Ginge, were then sent to the newly named Win City. Meanwhile, the losers, which included Martin Kemp, Eddie Kadi, Kelly Brook, Aitch and Tom Read Wilson, were sent to Doomsville and forced to live in bleak conditions. Contestants from each of the camps will go head-to-head again in upcoming episodes. I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! returns to ITV on Wednesday 19th November at 9pm. Add I'm a Celebrity...
