encoded: I'm a Celebrity 2025 is in full swing, with the fresh group of famous faces already being put through their paces in a series of challenges and trials. This year's group of celebrities couldn't be more different from on another, with a YouTuber, a former Lioness and radio presenter to point out a few of those living side-by-side in camp. Last night's episode will go down as one of the most revolting eating challenges in the show's history after Alex Scott had to squeeze juice from raw fish eyes using only her mouth, spit the liquid into a shot glass, and then down the entire thing after, which she promptly vomited. The finale of this year's show has now been confirmed as Sunday 7th December and, whilst no evictions have happened as of yet, based off previous seasons they usually begin around two weeks in so we can expect the first one soon. As we wait for the next episode, read on to learn more about the official line-up for I'm a Celebrity 2025. I'm a Celebrity official 2025 line-up: Confirmed celebrity contestants Tom Read Wilson Vogue Williams Kelly Brook Martin Kemp Eddie Kadi Alex Scott MBE Angry Ginge Jack Osbourne Ruby Wax OBE Aitch Shona McGarty Lisa Riley Scroll on to find out more! Vogue Williams Age: 40 Job: Podcaster and TV presenter Instagram: @voguewilliams Vogue Williams is a media personality and presenter, who first rose to fame in Ireland after appearing on Fade Street, before then participating on the Australian version of Dancing with the Stars. Since then, she has gone on to host My Therapist Ghosted Me with Joanne McNally, and her own titles Never Live It Down and Vogue & Amber which she co-hosts alongside her sister. After recently turning 40, Vogue admitted she had become too "comfortable in life" and decided I'm a Celebrity was the right step out of her comfort zone. She added: "I always thought I wouldn’t do it, because I've gotten too comfortable in my life. I like to have eight hours of sleep, I like to eat nice things, I like to just chi…

description: Fans might be loving the show, but when will it end?
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...

Love Is Blind UK casting producer reveals efforts to bring everyone’s love stories to the screen – and why diversity matters in all areas of TV

description: "Love comes in different forms, different shells, and everyone can have their happily ever after."
encoded: Casting a television series is no easy feat, especially one millions of people will tune into and, often, see themselves in. Love Is Blind is something of a cultural phenomenon, with its premise rather unorthodox from the many romantic reality series audiences know and love. For those unfamiliar with the social experiment, single men and women search for love and get engaged – all without ever having seen each other in person. The idea behind the show is that singletons put aside ideas of their "type" and get to know someone emotionally first, before testing if their physical connection matches up. From both UK seasons that have aired thus far, the cast is complete with people from all walks of life, who are dotted all around the UK and Ireland, and who are hoping to find their perfect match. Vivian Eguridu, who is part of this year's BAFTA Breakthrough cohort, worked as a senior casting producer on Love Is Blind UK season 1, which introduced audiences to the love stories of Nicole and Benaiah and Bobby and Jasmine. When it came to casting the first iteration of Love Is Blind UK, Eguridu explained she and the team "look for everyone," and when the final cast is locked in, they "look at things like people's attachment styles, what they're kind of after, [and] we try to make sure everyone has a fighting chance". She exclusively told RadioTimes.com: "But I really wanted to highlight people from diverse backgrounds as well, especially Black women. [To show] that you can fall in love too. "Sometimes love feels like it's only available to a certain type of woman on screen, and you see that on the telly. And I just was like, 'That's just not fair,' Because it's like, where's our love story? We deserve our happy ever after too. "And I think I just wanted to really platform that by the types of people we cast. So it was just also showing that love comes in different forms, different shells, and everyone can have their happily ever after as well." Thankfully, it wasn't diffic…

description: The series could've turned out very differently...
encoded: Alan Carr almost didn’t take part in Celebrity Traitors but was eventually persuaded with a key ask, the BBC’s chief content officer Kate Phillips has revealed. The comedian and TV presenter provided countless iconic moments during the BBC reality series, from his struggles to keep his identity under wraps and his murders in plain sight to his savage digs, and ultimately going on to win it. But during a recent appearance on the podcast The Rest Is Entertainment with Marina Hyde and Richard Osman, Phillips revealed that Carr originally said no to joining the line-up. "They came back to me and said, ‘Alan’s a no’," Phillips recalled. "So, I thought, 'Okay, what do I do to change his mind?', because I knew Alan would be good." Phillips added that she took Alan and his agent out to dinner to convince him to sign up. "I remember walking into the restaurant, and he just went, ‘I know why you’ve asked me for lunch, Kate. And I’m not doing it'," she revealed. "And I sort of said to Alan, 'Okay, this is why you should do it, Alan', and I just talked to him about what a great show it was, and how he’d be looked after..." Phillips also revealed the impact of Stephen Fry joining the cast. "Stephen signed up for it because he wanted to play the game, and he did say, 'Look, use me to get others'," she revealed. Alan did have a key condition for signing up to the show, Phillips went on to reveal. "He said, 'You’ve got to promise me I won’t be a “Traitor'. And I was like, 'Well, first of all, I can’t promise that 'cause it’s the format'," she explained. Fortunately, Alan changed his mind once he arrived in the Scottish castle. "And actually, if someone really doesn’t want to be a 'Traitor', we wouldn’t make them," Kate continued. "We do look after people on it. We don’t want them to have an awful experience." Phillips also revealed during the interview that Claudia Winkleman was initially hesitant to host the show’s celebrity edition as she’s so "protective" of the format, but was …

However, shortly after reports emerged, Millie shared on Snapchat (via Closer): "Why do the press just chat absolute f**in b*****ks". So it remains to be seen if she is truly going into the villa...

encoded: The best time of the year is back! No, it's not Christmas, but a new season of I'm a Celebrity of course. Honestly, the two are basically synonymous at this point as, as soon as Ant and Dec are back in the jungle, that's when we know the festive period is truly underway. The show is now well underway with camp leaders emerging, friendships forming and fan favourites already being established. One of the line-up whose personality is really shining through is comedian Eddie Kadi. And he has already been chosen by the public to do a trial. But just who is he? Read on to find out more about the I'm a Celebrity 2025 contestant as we wait for the next episode. Who is Eddie Kadi? Age: 42 Job: Comedian and presenter Instagram: @comeddiekadi Eddie Kadi is a British-Congolese comedian, presenter and actor known for his radio presenting work for the BBC. Most notably, BBC 1Extra's Official UK Afrobeats Charts Show and BBC Radio 5 Live's sports comedy panel show Fighting Talk. In 2010, he performed at the O2 arena as part of his comedy tour and has since then performed all around the world. I'm a Celebrity is not Kadi's first reality show appearance as he previously took part in the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2023. He danced alongside professional partner Karen Hauer where they were the fourth couple to leave the competition. Phobias: "All creepy crawlies. I am dreading the trials the most." Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle? "I think people think, ‘Oh Eddie, I have never seen him unhappy or serious.’ They are going to see a side where they will realise they can have a serious conversation with me. I’m a warm person and a good listener." Best and worst attributes: "I would like to think I will bring a family vibe to the camp. I love making sure everyone is getting along and I don’t want to be overbearing. My worst? I am not that great in the mornings. It might take me a couple of hours." Dream camper: "Jackie Chan.

Returning for a 25th series on ITV, the series welcomes 10 celebrities who have certainly already been put through their paces in the famed Australian jungle, where they've been stripped of their luxuries and contact with the outside world. Amongst the line-up this year is rapper Aitch, who isn't to be confused with Ian 'H' Watkins from Steps. Aitch has already established himself as one of the fav favourites in camp this year, especially thanks to his existing friendship with fellow cast mate Angry Ginge. Aitch was selected by the public to take part in the second trial of this year's season called Doomsday Bunker where he found an impressive seven stars. But just who is Aitch? Read on to learn more about the musician ahead of I'm a Celebrity 2025. Who is Aitch?

He released his debut studio album in 2022, which reached number two on the UK Albums Chart and has since released 20 Top 10 singles in the UK. Phobias: "I don’t have any phobias but I am not looking forward to eating or drinking anything I don’t want to." Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle? "I want people to understand I am not just a stereotypical obnoxious rapper who you can’t approach." Best and worst attributes: "I’d like to think I am going to make everyone feel at home and comfortable. I will bring energy to the jungle. My worst? I am a terrible snorer. I even snore in a Northern accent!" Dream camper: "I wouldn’t say he is my hero, but someone who would make the jungle a million times easier – and don’t ask me why, as I don’t have that answer – is Snoop Dogg."

The line-up is just as good as ever, with the likes of Martin Kemp, Aitch and Ruby Wax having entered the jungle last weekend. And just when we thought it couldn't get any better, we're now being spoiled to two newcomers. The late entrants were revealed on Wednesday's episode as Vogue Williams and Tom Read Wilson, and their entrances were shown in last night's (20th November) instalment. But rather than entering the main camp right away, the duo will be living in a luxury cabin that is perched high in the tree tops known as The Leader's Lodge.

I'm a Celebrity is not Wilson's first reality show appearance as he previously took part in Celebrity Mastermind and Richard Osman's House of Games. Phobias: "I’m frightened of everything, I am a very nervous person." Biggest misconception you want to dispel in the jungle? "There is an adventurous spirit lurking in me and I can be intrepid.

description: The series could've looked very different...
encoded: Picturing The Traitors UK without Claudia Winkleman doesn't seem right, but it could've well been the case, the BBC has revealed. The Traitors first launched on BBC One in 2022 and has since gone on to break viewing records, particularly with its celebrity iteration, with its finale watched by an impressive 11.1 million viewers on the night. While the action and drama plays a key role in making it impeccable TV viewing, Claudia Winkleman's choice of Traitors, devilish outfits and authority as host truly makes it an impressive watch. But as recently confirmed by the BBC's Chief Content Officer, Kate Phillips, Winkleman wasn't the first choice of host. In fact, Phillips initially had her eye on Alan Cumming to helm the series. Speaking on The Rest Is Entertainment podcast, Phillips told hosts Richard Osman and Marina Hyde that, when it came to choosing a host, Cumming was initially thought of as the right fit as he had recently signed to do the US series. She said: "So I thought Alan is known here and he's a popular Scottish actor so we did actually ask Alan if he would do it, but he couldn't do it with our dates because America were filming first and he had another job so he couldn't do it. "So then we were thinking who else? Studio Lambert had a good list of names and I just thought Claudia because I'd worked with her on Strictly. And the thing about Claudia on Strictly is that she's brilliant on that show but she's brilliant because she's interested in people. More than the dancing, she's about the people and the contestants and what's happening." Phillips explained that she rang Winkleman, who initially was unsure about the idea of leaving her house to film in the countryside, and told her she'd ask the production company to send her a copy of the Dutch version, to see what she thought. "She watched that and she was in straight away." You can watch the full interview below. View oEmbed on the source website If the box above is not showing, you may need to change y…

description: It was a tense final game.
encoded: **Warning: Contains spoilers for the Squid Game: The Challenge finale.** Earlier this month, 456 players embarked on Squid Game: The Challenge, with each and every one of them hoping they'd be walking away with $4.56 billion. After nine intense episodes filled with twists and turns aplenty, it all came down to one final game for the remaining contestants. The penultimate episode revealed Steven (Player 183), Trinity (Player 398), Perla (Player 072), Dajah (Player 302) and Vanessa (Player 017) to be the final contestants left in the game. The final game, rather unbelievably, was a winner-take-all-edition of Red Light, Green Light, which perhaps the players had expected to be the first game they'd encounter in the series. In the final moments, Perla and Dajah were the last players standing, but Dajah was forced to bow out after injuring herself. "This is going to haunt me forever," she said as the prize slipped away from her. "For the rest of my life, I'll never know if I could've won." As for Perla, AKA Player 072, she emerged the winner after crossing the finish line! "First, I have to pay off my credit cards so they can stop calling me," Perla told Tudum of how she'll spend her winnings. She added: "Second, I am getting my mom, my brother and [myself] home security. I do also want to make my mom’s dream of going to India a reality." Perla entered the game alongside her brother, Jeffrey, though they didn't reveal to the other players they had that relation. Sadly, in a game of marbles, they were pitted against each other and ultimately Jeffrey sacrificed his spot in the game to allow Perla to continue – and it certainly paid off!

Alan Carr reveals all about his Celebrity Traitors win, suggestions he fled the country, and 'murdering' his friends

description: The king of the Celebrity Traitors castle on stabbing his friends in the back, writing his own murder mystery – and having tea with Mariah Carey.
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. Alan Carr was already a national treasure, but he now describes himself as a “national traitor” following his winning turn on The Celebrity Traitors. The profile of the 49-year-old comedian, presenter and writer has never been higher: his autobiographical sitcom Changing Ends, about his childhood in 1980s Northampton, and primetime Saturday night quiz show Alan Carr’s Picture Slam are both back on TV and more projects are coming soon. But what about those rumours that he could soon be waltzing into Strictly to take TV’s top job? Congratulations, top Traitor! Is it true you had to flee the country to escape The Celebrity Traitors mania while it was on? It was too much – Paloma-gate, killing Celia Imrie, grief from the gays for murdering Tom Daley, who was the only bit of eye candy – I needed to get away! Actually, I was taking my niece and nephew to Disneyland and jokingly said I had to leave the country because of the show. I’m the worst uncle, I forget their birthdays, their names… What do you make of the reaction to your victory? There were a lot of naysayers who assumed it would be a load of luvvies not wanting to stab their friends in the back. I thought: “Wait till you get a load of me!” I wanted to prove them wrong. People underestimate celebrities, but it’s a hard business. I definitely turneda corner when I murdered Celia. There was one funny bit that didn’t stay in, but at one round table Stephen Fry said, “We have to think about the Cambridge spies. Philby, Blunt… they were flamboyant characters, camp but still under the radar.” I’m sitting directly opposite, saying “Ooh I know!” and laughing. Out of all your celebrity mates, who do you think would make a good Traitor? Michelle Ogundehin, the judge from Interior Design Masters, would be great. Although she’d probably murder the wallpaper because it was horrible, or you’d get to the turret and she’d be pebbledashing the wall to make it look nicer. Now you…

description: ITV has confirmed the overnight launch ratings for I'm a Celebrity 2025.
encoded: I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here returned for a jam-packed episode, and even more jam-packed viewership. ITV has confirmed that the entertainment series returned with a peak TV overnight audience of 7.3 million viewers on Sunday night (16th November), averaging 6.6 million viewers across the 90-minute show. This marks ITV's highest overnight audience of 2025 and the biggest entertainment launch on any channel this year. The Celebrity Traitors made an impressive feat earlier in autumn, with its first episode launching 6.1 million, though it grew to a hugely impressive 11.7 million, becoming the biggest unscripted episode across the UK market since 2022. I'm a Celebrity achieved an 83 per cent share of 16-34 year old viewers, with 1.5 million viewers in this demographic, up 9 per cent on year. These figures make it ITV's biggest 16-34 audience in over a year, since the Euros in 2024. While ITVX date is yet to be confirmed, last year's I'm a Celebrity was the biggest ever on the service, with over 80 million streams across the series. This year's I'm a Celebrity line-up is quite the eclectic bunch, with the likes of Ruby Wax, Kelly Brook, Jack Osbourne and Martin Kemp among those in the jungle. Tonight (17th November), the celebrities spend their first morning in camp and it appears there was an unwanted visitor for one campmate... As teased by ITV, Eddie Kadi woke in the morning in high spirits after a great night's sleep on his comfy bed in camp. As Eddie told Ruby and Kelly about his slumber, Kelly was less than impressed, as she said: "Of course you did! You’re in paradise up there!" Pointing to her own bed, she remarked: "Look at this! There’s not even a blanket in here." Little did Eddie know a rat crawled across him while he slept! I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! airs nightly at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX & STV Player.

encoded: Big Brother 2025 has now come to the end – with one housemate coming out on top as the winner. Six contestants made it to the final: Cameron, Elsa, Emily, Jenny, Richard and Tate were all hoping to become the show's latest champion and walk away with the life-changing cash prize of £100,000. Tate was the first to be eliminated followed by Emily and Cameron. Jenny then finished third, leaving Elsa and Richard as the final two contestants in the house. Ultimately it was Richard who was announced as the winner of Big Brother 2025. View oEmbed on the source website This is the third season of Big Brother since it arrived on ITV. Since 2023, the Big Brother brand has now surpassed 150 million streams on ITVX. Richard now joins the hall of fame of ITV Big Brother winners which already includes the likes of Ali Bromley who won last year and Jordan Sangha who won the first season of the reboot in 2023. There have also been two celebrity iterations of the show which saw TV personality David Potts win in 2024 and Coronation Street actor Jack P Shepherd take the crown earlier this year. This year's finalists were confirmed after a season full of twists, turns and shocking eliminations. Early on, housemate George Gilbert was removed for "repeated use of unacceptable language and behaviour" and the show then introduced one of it's most shocking twists yet with a fake elimination where it brought back two previous housemates. More recently, viewers were left stunned after fan favourite Zeelah was eliminated after failing to secure enough of the public vote. This left Richard as the favourite to win after his hilarious outburst in the diary room following his "nemesis" Caroline's eviction, the two having been at odds for their entire six weeks in the house. It has not yet been confirmed whether Big Brother or Celebrity Big Brother will return for new seasons in 2026. Big Brother is available to stream on ITVX.

encoded: Big Brother UK 2025 is just about to draw to a close with only six contestants remaining in the house, anxiously waiting for tonight's live final which is mere hours away. The finalists have spent the last six weeks hoping they've down enough to secure the majority of the public vote so they can walk away with the £100,000 cash prize. This season was as chaotic as any other, with hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best holding our hands through it all. We saw one housemate removed, one of the most shocking twists yet in the form of fake eliminations, and unexpected returns. But after tonight's final, one contestant will be crowned as this year's winner, taking the crown from current reigning champion Ali Bromley. The original series ran from 2000 to 2018 and the ITV reboot has now seen three seasons so the winners' hall of fame is well and truly full – but where are they all now? After the most recent season's finale, here's a list of all the Big Brother winners and what they went on to do. Big Brother past winners Ali Bromley - Season 21 (2024) Ali won Big Brother UK 2024 after securing a whopping 51.9 per cent of the vote and walked away with the £90,000 prize pot. At the time she said she believed she won the public's affection by being "authentic" and not having a "game plan". Since her win, Ali has returned to her 9-5 job as a forensic psychologist but has also recently launched a new podcast with her former housemate Lily called The Social Battery Podcast. Jordan Sangha - Season 20 (2023) Since winning the 2023 rebooted series of Big Brother, Jordan has worked with some major brands including the likes of Cadbury, Hello Fresh and Morrisons. Winning the programme has allowed Jordan to focus on his life-long passion of writing and comedy, as per his management – something he hopes to develop further.

encoded: The Big Brother final is upon us, with just six housemates left in the ultimate social experiment. This season, there have been backdoor evictions, returns of past years' contestants and plenty of rule-breaking, and it has all culminated in this very moment. Last night (13th November), two more housemates were eliminated in a brutal eviction, which left some contestants teary-eyed. So, who has left? Read on to find out who has been evicted from the Big Brother 2025 house. Who left Big Brother 2025? Marcus - Episode 41 Marcus was evicted shortly after Teja, upon opening a brutal gift from The Wizard of Oz, which meant his time in the house was over. Teja - Episode 41 The public were given the chance to vote for who they'd like to save, and unfortunately for Teja, she did not receive enough votes to remain in the competition and was evicted. Caroline – Episode 36 Caroline left as part of a double eviction at the same time as Nancy (below). She had caused some controversy during her time in the house, including by misgendering fellow participant Zelah in a scene that attracted 600 complaints to Ofcom (via Attitude). Nancy – Episode 36 Nancy and Caroline (above) left as part of a double eviction. In an added twist, Nancy was told she had received the most nominations for eviction of any contestant since 2013, with her votes totalling 26, but seemed unfazed by the news. Sam – Episode 33 Sam left the Big Brother house after 38 days in a midweek eviction, exiting via the back door. Zelah – Episode 30 Zelah swiftly followed Farida out of the house but received a much colder response from the waiting crowd, who booed the personal trainer upon his exit. He laughed off the reaction, saying: "I don’t think they like me. I don’t know what to say. I’ve forgotten how to speak." Farida – Episode 30 A shock double eviction saw Farida depart the house to cheers from the waiting crowd. Her first words upon exiting the house were: "Are you ready for the tea? I’m so happy to be out, but…

Jonathan Ross, who was eventually ousted from the game for being a Traitor, has shared that Ricky Gervais turned down the chance to appear on The Celebrity Traitors due to the way in which he could be voted out. During an episode of his podcast Reel Talk, Ross said: "I had a chat this week with Ricky Gervais. He called me after The Traitors. And he was asked to go in. "He called me because I think my name had got out there, nothing had been confirmed before we filmed it. He said, 'Are you doing this Traitors thing?' I said, 'Yeah, I'm doing it. Stephen Fry is definitely doing it, and Alan [Carr] is going in…'. "And he said, 'I'm not doing it. The reason I’m not doing it is, I'm pretty sure that if you go in there, they're going to say it's going to have to be one of these bigger names. You're going to wind up getting voted out just because they think you’re a bigger name in the outside world.' "So he nailed the Big Dog theory. And I said, "Well, you were right.'"

In the end, it was a Traitor who won the game, with Alan Carr making it through to the very end, managing to pull the wool over the eyes of the Faithful one last time. Thus, he won £87,500 for his chosen charity, Neuroblastoma UK. The Celebrity Traitors is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

Ahead of the launch on Sunday 16th November, ITV has confirmed that individual contestants cannot be voted to do every Bushtucker trial in a consecutive row. Last year, Dean McCullough was voted by the public to do six trials in a row, but this will no longer be possible with the new rule. Matt Hancock also had the same fate during his appearance on the show in 2023. ITV bosses have confirmed that after a celebrity has been voted for two trials in a row, they cannot be voted for one on the next day, to ensure that everyone gets fair chance to take part. A spokesperson for ITV said (as per BBC News): "Show bosses are keen to give all campmates the opportunity to shine in Bushtucker Trials this year and are bringing in a new rule that after a celebrity has been voted for TWO trials in a row, they cannot be voted for one on the next day. "This new rule means the responsibility for winning food is shared among more of the campmates. "More campmates will have an opportunity to step up and play their part with viewers getting a chance to get to know them more, it's their chance to shine." As ever, viewers are the ones who get to decide who takes on a dreaded Bushtucker trial, but it is yet to be revealed how it can be ensured the same celebrities aren't voted for time and time again. This year's celebrities are quite the mixed bunch, with the likes of Ruby Wax, Lisa Riley, Jack Osbourne and Martin Kemp amongst the famous faces headed into the jungle. Other cast members include Kelly Brook, Eddie Kadi, Alex Scott, Angry Ginge (Morgan Burtwistle), Aitch and Shona McGarty. I'm a Celebrity...

description: Celebrity MasterChef returns next week.
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. I'm over the moon about presenting the new series of Celebrity MasterChef. I was utterly surprised to be asked. For me, this was taking on the mantle of a show that I've watched religiously from the moment it began in 1990. In this country, we treat food very seriously. Yes, it's an entertainment show but, at the heart of it, it's about the joy of food, the science of food, the precision of food… I think when you ask people who work in television what it's like, they always say the same things about how thrilled they are, but I genuinely am – I've lived and breathed this show for ever, and now I’m front and centre! I'm reminded of home by… corned beef hash Specifically corned beef hash made in a pressure cooker. I remember standing in our kitchen on Harold Street in Currock, Carlisle, in the north west of England in 1978 and my mother opening up the pressure cooker and spooning this corned beef hash with carrots, onions, peas and potatoes into bowls. If it wasn’t runny enough, we’d have it with ketchup. Now, when I'm with Anna Haugh [Dent is presenting this series with JohnTorode, but from next year Haugh will be her MasterChef co-host], every time someone uses a pressure cooker, I turn to her and say, "1970s childhood"! The first dish I learnt to cook was… asparagus risotto I've cooked since I was a child, but the first fancy thing I learnt to cook was an asparagus champagne risotto with aged Parmesan — which was very, very glamorous in 1998. Back then I was living in Camden, in a big, shared house with five incredibly ambitious women who all worked in the media. Whenever I had a date night, I would try to woo whoever was coming round for dinner with my risotto. When I cooked on the MasterChef Battle of the Critics Christmas special in 2023, I made this dish. I knew two things – firstly, that if you can master that risotto with depth and manage to get it out on the plate, people are always impressed. And secondly…

Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, said of the renewal: "Studio Lambert have done an outstanding job as The Celebrity Traitors has well and truly captivated the nation, becoming a bona fide highlight of the year bringing record numbers of people together to enjoy every twist and turn. "In 2026 the doors of the castle will be opened again to welcome celebrity players to the game to see who can charm, who can scheme and ultimately who can survive in series two which promises to be just as unmissable as the first. "Plus with Uncloaked returning and today’s news of the positive contribution The Traitors brand has made to Scotland’s economy, there is plenty to celebrate." The announcement of season 2 coincides with 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." While there is a while to go before a second series will make it onto our…

description: The nation stayed faithful to The Celebrity Traitors.
encoded: Over 11 million viewers tuned into the final of The Celebrity Traitors last night, proving they are 100 per cent faithful to the reality series. The BBC has confirmed that the finale episode averaged 11.1 million, with a peak audience of 12 million! BBC iPlayer had 1.9 million live requests, the highest live viewing number of all time for any entertainment episode on iPlayer. The 70-minute special episode saw the five remaining players take part in one last mission before a final showdown at the roundtable. During the initial roundtable, Joe Marler, David Olusoga and Nick Mohammed all voted for Cat Burns, believing her to be a Traitor, and she was sadly banished from the game. But as per the rules, she didn't reveal her status in the game. Shortly after, Alan Carr managed to turn to the tables on Joe, with both Nick and David also voting for him, much to his dismay. It was then time for the final three players to decide if they wanted to continue playing or end the game. Upon ending the game, Nick and David soon discovered a Traitor was among them, as Alan Carr revealed he was indeed a Traitor and had been all along. Thus, he won £87,500 for his chosen charity, Neuroblastoma UK. Alan became emotional upon telling the others he was a Traitor and realising he'd won, explaining later that "all the deceit, the lying, the murdering of Paloma and Celia had all taken its toll". He added: "Then I think it dawned on me that I had won such a huge amount for my charity, Neuroblastoma UK. The charity is so close to my heart that it all became a bit too much. "Hopefully when people see how upset I was they won’t feel so bad that I killed all those national treasures." The Celebrity Traitors is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

Who are the 'real winners' of Celebrity Traitors? Unpacking the future of TV's most talked about cast

description: It's all about what they do next.
encoded: Just last month, Alan Carr donned his green cloak and met with his fellow Traitors in the turret for the first time. In the wake of such a momentous occasion, all hell broke loose upon the Faithfuls as they were eliminated from the game one-by-one. In a final showdown, the comedian managed to convince remaining Faithfuls Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga that he too was a Faithful, forcing them to end the game before managing to take all of the money for his chosen charity. But despite winning the show, it won't just be Alan people think of when it comes to The Celebrity Traitors, and indeed he won't be the only winner of the bunch despite holding the title. In fact, they're all winners, according to PR expert Mark Borkowski. Aside from the handful of players that were either banished or murdered in the game quite early on, Borkowski sees particularly Cat Burns and Joe Marler truly excelling after the BBC One series. "Joe Marler seems to be on everything and anything, anytime you see him on The Wheel, he's sticking, so clearly he's got a good agent to get him into that role," Borkowski told RadioTimes.com. "He's got a very strong personality." He continued: "But I think everybody's a winner in this series. It's about visibility. It's no different from other reality shows like I'm a Celebrity, and even Big Brother in the day, the celebrity versions. I'm a Celebrity is the best example of that. The more exposure that you have, the more of your personality, or your perceived personality is pushed out." "So with the BBC, [it's] the same love that is shown from Strictly or whatever, they know that they can actually develop programmes or put people in those programmes, that they know they're going to get eyeballs on in an age where there isn't a linear audience that once was." The Celebrity Traitors has proven to be its own cultural phenomenon, with 11.7 million viewers and counting having tuned in for the first episode alone, making it the biggest unscripted episode across…

encoded: Audiences across the nation have been treated to two helpings of The Traitors this year, with a regular series back in January and its starry celebrity edition which has been airing across October and November. But the celebrity series has since concluded, leaving a Claudia Winkleman shaped hole in many people's hearts and minds. While there is no confirmation on when the fourth series of The Traitors will arrive on BBC One, there are plenty more series to get stuck into in the meantime. Whether you're after the adventure the challenges provide, the tension of the roundtable, or the deceptive nature of the Traitors, there are a variety of programmes on your fingertips to provide those very things. So, what are they? Scroll on to find out which 15 shows you can tune into after The Celebrity Traitors. 1. The Inheritance Where can I watch it? Channel 4 Studio Lambert's latest outing was The Inheritance, starring Elizabeth Hurley as The Deceased, who summons 13 strangers to her grand stately home in her death. While there, they must all compete for a chance to take home the fortune left in her will, but in order to do that the contestants have to work together to complete The Deceased's final requests – and there's an added twist. Rob Rinder acts as The Deceased's executor and trusted legal counsel, who oversees the twist in which one player can collect the money released from the will, but to claim it, they need to convince the others that they alone deserve the cash. "The stakes are high but it's not just about deception by any stretch of the imagination," Rinder exclusively told RadioTimes.com about the series. "The core [of it is] a real social experiment. So that idea where it's asking deeper questions about fairness, about what you do when people aren't really looking, about how money can interfere with people's emotional and moral chemistry, and it does so in a way that's never been done on this scale." 2.
