description: Filming will reportedly commence this weekend.
encoded: Rumours are intensifying about which famous faces could be headed to the Scottish Highlands for the second season of The Celebrity Traitors, with academic Hannah Fry thought to be in the running. The Sun has reported that the mathematician and broadcaster is the latest name to sign up for the new episodes, with filming said to begin this weekend. Hannah Fry is a mathematician and broadcaster, and is currently professor of the public understanding of mathematics at the University of Cambridge. She has made a string of television shows in recent years, including The Secret Genius of Modern Life, The Future with Hannah Fry and this year's AI Confidential with Hannah Fry. A spokesperson for the BBC told Radio Times: "We are not commenting on speculation and details for The Celebrity Traitors series 2 will be announced in due course." Fry is the latest name to join the speculated list of who could take part in the new season, with the likes of Michael Sheen, Cheryl and Steve Pemberton all rumoured to have been approached about the series. Someone who definitely won't be taking part, however, is Criminal Record star Peter Capaldi, who explained that he wouldn't want the extra attention that came with the show. "I think there's a level of fame that… I think it propels you into the public eye, at a level of exposure that I don’t really want," he told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg. "I like doing, you know, it’s like doing my music things – it’s very difficult for people in that business to understand that you want to keep it small."

description: Oh, the drama!
encoded: *Warning - contains spoilers for The Neighbourhood episode 3.* The Neighbourhood burst onto TV screens last week and has gripped viewers with its juicy twists and turns, especially in its latest episode which saw one household removed from KeepYourEnemies Close. The series, which is fronted by Graham Norton, features a group of households battle it out for a £250,000 cash prize. All they have to do is remain the most popular amongst the other households, which is easier said than done... In the latest episode, it was time for another removal in which each household has to decide amongst themselves who they want to remove, before one representative is sent out in the square to declare who they have chosen. Unfortunately for the Scouse Haus, they received the most votes and were sent home packing, and it's largely down to one member of the Lozman-Sturrocks for their demise. Earlier in the episode, Jordan was intent on making sure some of the other households had his back, which meant stirring the pot slightly about the Scouse Haus. After tying in votes with the Lozman-Sturrocks, it was the Campbell Grahams who had the deciding vote and upon choosing to remove the Scouse Haus, their time was over. In an exclusive interview with Radio Times, the Scouse Hause were asked how they felt about the Lozman-Sturrocks, to which Rosie said: "It is a game at the end of the day and whatever tactic you've got, if it's gonna get you to where you wanna go, then all we can do is respect it. Do what you need to do. Lyndsey added: "And do you know what? They played the better game than us." <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/04/5-0773b7f.jpg" width="3000" height="2000" alt="A family of four are standing in front of a row of houses.

encoded: Race Across the World season 6 has now reached its halfway point, as the teams face the longest leg of the race so far. Tonight (30 April), the remaining teams will travel through the world's largest landlocked country, Kazakhstan, and into Uzbekistan, they must navigate the vast Kazakh steppe with its endless horizons and limited English speakers. To keep the race moving, the pairs will have to adapt to a whole new way of travelling. So, who else is left in the race? As the series continues, find our more about the cast and read our exclusive interviews with this year's cast of Race Across the World below. Race Across the World 2026 line-up Mark and Margo Katie and Harrison Andrew and Molly Kush and Jo Puja and Roshni This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. Five intrepid duos – best friends, a father and daughter, cousins, siblings and the show's first set of in-laws – set off on a 12,000km journey from Palermo in Italy to Hatgal in Mongolia in the sixth series of Race Across the World. Stripped of their phones, they each have a budget of just £23 a day to survive and make it to the final checkpoint ahead of the other contenders. Puja and Roshni Puja, 31, is a doctor and is racing with her cousin software engineer cousin Roshni, 32. Whose idea was it to sign up? Puja: I applied a few years ago with another friend. I was advised to do it with someone I’ve known for a really long time so I reapplied with Roshni. I’m so glad we did it together. Roshni: We’d both just got married and I was house hunting and trying to be an adult. Leaving work for three months didn’t sound like the smartest idea… Was it hard not being able to contact home? Puja: Definitely. We come from Asian families. We’re both married, but our parents still want to know what we’re doing every day. What were you nervous about? Roshni: For me, it was food. Given we’re vegetarian, I knew we would have to make sacrifices. Puja: Running out of toiletries. Who was better at approaching strange…

Is it time for more vulnerable intimacy on TV? Virgin Island might be leading the way

description: The jaw-dropping series has returned for a second season on Channel 4.
encoded: Channel 4 has never been coy about creating eyebrow-raising television, and Virgin Island certainly isn't the first time the broadcaster has commissioned a rather jaw-dropping concept. Open House: The Great Sex Experiment first aired in 2022, following couples who head to a luxury retreat where they explored whether having open relationships and sex with other people could strengthen their bond. It was eye-opening, featured sex and relationship experts and put intimacy at the forefront of the conversation - and Virgin Island is doing the same thing. Having first aired in 2025, the series became a ratings hit, breaking records among 16-to-34-year-olds and was Channel 4's biggest streaming hit of the year, so it was unsurprising when the renewal news came around. The reality series follows 12 adult virgins as they head to a Mediterranean retreat under the care of intimacy experts, including lead coaches Celeste Hirschman and Dr Danielle Harel, both co-creators of the Somatica Method which is used on the show. With two more episodes in this season, there is plenty for Hirschman, Harel and their expanded team of experts to get stuck into - from religious shame and online bullying to body image anxiety. The experts also tackle sexual disorders on the rise among young people, including premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction and vaginismus. Along with tackling these sexual issues, the series follows the group on a transformative journey and edges towards moments as intimate as people potentially losing their virginity. And with a new season, it begs the question: Do we really need to see this all over again? Well, it's certainly a show worth being optimistic about. The reaction to season 1 was rather negative, with social media filled with comments from viewers saying they were "creeped out" and "uncomfortable", particularly during scenes involving surrogate partner therapy, in which participants who choose to do so can engage in intimate exercises - including kissing…

description: "What if we didn't feel so much shame around sexuality?"
encoded: Channel 4 is ready to get the nation talking all over again, as its BAFTA award-nominated series Virgin Island returns for an extended second season. Tonight (27 April), viewers will return to the island as 12 new young people face their intimacy anxiety head on, helped by a group of sex therapists who have surprises that push the participants to confront their sexual issues. Like in season 1, the participants will experience a hands-on approach to intimacy, guided through the process by surrogate partner therapists, sexological bodyworkers and a newly introduced BDSM coach. This level of intimacy and conversations around sex on screen came as a shock to viewers last year when season 1 was released, with some people unsure if such a personal journey like losing your virginity should be played out on television for the nation to watch. The question of whether the show's depiction of someone's sexual journey should be shown on television was put to experts Dr Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman – co-founders of the Somatica Institute and co-creators of the Somatica method. "Just thinking about the idea of personal and secretive, I think that's part of the shame," Harel told Radio Times. "It's not like the idea is, 'Let's have sex outside on the streets', that's not the point. It's okay to have privacy around sexuality but there's something so powerful about seeing people's transformation and helping it transform other people's lives." She continued: "And also, what if we didn't feel so much shame around sexuality? What if we were allowed to talk about it? People see cooking shows together, why is that not personal?" The Somatica method is an experiential approach that combines emotional connection with practical tools to build confidence, communication and intimacy. "Somatica is a method that we really teach people intimacy and relationship skills, because we really believe that you're not born with those skills. You need to learn them," Harel explained. "And we don'…

In the removal, each house will decide amongst themselves who they want to remove, before one representative was sent out in the square to declare who they have chosen.

The brand new series kicked off last night (25 April), introducing the nation to the world of KeepYourEnemies Close, and while it looks like your idyllic white picket fence village, there are six households who are all fighting for a £250,000 prize fund. So far, one household has been removed but another is about to move in an take their place! But where exactly is The Neighbourhood located, if you ever fancy paying a visit? Where is The Neighbourhood located? In order to create The Neighbourhood, the creative team behind the show completely transformed Darwin Lake Holiday Park in Matlock, Derbyshire. It's open to the public, and particularly popular with hikers, getaway weekends and weddings. On the edge of the Lake District, the location is perfect for production as it's surrounded by a forest, and has enough space for production offices, on-site management and care teams. Each stone built cottage was already built by the lake, with the entire area covering 20 acres of land. The show renovated each of the homes used – fitting the secret cameras, redecorating the gardens, and giving each room different furnishings. Each house was also given a different colour, marked by window shutters and doors, and a sign on the front door with the household name. <img src="https://images.immediate.co.uk/production/volatile/sites/3/2026/04/embargoeduntil20.0026thmarchtheneighbourhood11-c9bd6a4.jpg" width="9138" height="6092" alt="A view from one house looking towards two houses opposite.

encoded: After three weeks of gruelling trials, camp squabbles and terrifying challenges, the final of I'm a Celebrity South Africa 2026 finally arrived. Tonight (24 April), the four finalists all made their way to the live studio final, where the power was in the hands of the public. There was plenty of drama in tonight's final, as contestants Jimmy Bullard and David Haye gave their peace on their time in the jungle, which resulted in Gemma Collins and Sinitta walking off stage as arguments ensued. But as audiences tuned into the last leg of the final episode, it was revealed that Adam Thomas had been voted the I'm a Celebrity South Africa 2026 legend! Tonight's final was slightly different to what fans were used to from the 2023 run of the South Africa series. Ahead of the series launch, hosts Ant and Dec confirmed that while season 2 was pre-recorded last year in South Africa, the grand final would be held live with the winner yet to be revealed. As they did tonight, the celebrity cast were to gather in a UK studio and the public would get the chance to vote for this year's I'm a Celebrity legend. Discussing the format shake-up the duo said: "It's going to be here in the UK, live on the television. "We’re going to get all the cast back, we’ll have the finalists in the studio. It’ll be a live vote like we do in Australia and the public will decide their legend." In tonight's episode, the remaining four campmates had to successfully complete one final trial to win their last meal together before leaving the camp. Each trial had five stars available, and each campmate was responsible for a different course of each meal. Securing four stars meant everyone got the dinner course the campmates represent, while winning five stars meant the campmates also secured an extra treat. Harry Redknapp competed for the starters, Craig Charles for the main courses, Adam Thomas for the desserts and Sir Mo Farah for the drinks. I'm a Celebrity...

description: Here's how to play the new game as the fight for £250,000 begins.
encoded: ITV's brand new game show The Neighbourhood is taking family and neighbourly dynamics and putting them under the spotlight – all for a major cash prize. Hosted by Graham Norton, the new series will see six households move into KeepYourEnemies Close — a mantra players will want to live by if they're set to win. While they can get close to each other over a coffee at the café, or unwind at the end of the day with a pint down the Uppin Arms pub, they're never too far away from trouble. So, how exactly does the game work? Here's everything you need to know about The Neighbourhood, and how much is at stake. What is the prize? The grand prize for The Neighbourhood is a staggering £250,000. The prize will go to the household, but there are no rules or stipulations in place about how the groups decide to split the money. While some, like The Uni Boys, have shared they plan to split the money equally if they win, others are either planning on something together with the cash, or one of the family members taking the lion's share. What happens in the game? In The Neighbourhood, six households move into KeepYourEnemies Close – where they will remain for up to three weeks. During those three weeks, they will get to know each other via a series of social events and games. Host Graham Norton will maintain contact with the households via a group WhatsApp chat, alerting them to things going on. The Neighbourhood is largely a game of popularity, so the more liked you are by your fellow competitors, the better. View Green Video on the source website How are households eliminated from The Neighbourhood? Across the 12 episodes, the households will have to face the removal – and it's as brutal as it sounds. Here's how the removal will go down. Each house will decide amongst themselves who they want to remove, before one representative is sent out in the square to declare who they've chosen. The way they show who they've picked is by taking a huge 'for sale' sign and planting it right on …

During last night's episode (23 April), the remaining campmates met Ant & Dec at the site of Keep Your Eye on the Ball, in which the celebrities had to sit in individual compartments as three different-coloured balls travelled through clear pipes. They then had to track the count for each colour while facing various unwelcome distractions. At the end of the trial, Ant and Dec selected a coloured ball at random and asked the celebrities to provide the precise count.

I laughed every day. I faced my fears. I understand now, after being terrified of everything most of my life, the way to overcome your fears is to face them.

description: The Vardys is coming to TV screens later this year.
encoded: ITV is offering an exclusive insight into the lives of Jamie and Rebekah Vardy in a brand new reality series coming to screens later this year. In what has been described as a "gripping" series, The Vardys will follow the family as they face their biggest challenge yet: leaving Leicester City after 13 years for a new life abroad. Kicking off with Jamie's final emotional match for the club, punctuated by his 200th goal, the real story unfolds off the pitch, as family matriarch Rebekah juggles it all. The synopsis continues: "After a difficult and dramatic five years in the UK, Rebekah is ready for the next chapter – but uprooting and moving to Italy with four kids (plus a superstar footballer husband) is not exactly what she had in mind. "As she manages the emotional and physical upheaval of the new move, she reflects on her recent challenges in the UK, intent on putting the 'Wagatha' drama behind her and focusing on an exciting new chapter. "With no-holds-barred, intimate access to the Vardys, this series follows all the drama and chaos of their new family adventure – from frantic house-hunts and tearful school searches, to unexpected disasters and dramatic setbacks, all while Jamie battles to prove his doubters wrong on the pitch at the age of 38, with Italian Serie A underdogs US Cremonese. "Witness the banter, the bickering and the sheer unpredictability of the Vardys as they navigate cultural clashes, forge new friendships, and make Italy their home. Can Jamie rekindle his underdog magic? Will Rebekah find peace and a new purpose away from the glare of the British tabloids? And will the Vardy family finally find their happily ever after?" Rebekah hit the headlines in 2019 following a post from Coleen Rooney alleging that someone using Rebekah's Instagram account had leaked information about her to the press. It culminated in a High Court libel battle which Rebekah ultimately lost. Louise Major, commissioning editor for entertainment & reality, said: "We’re thril…

Made in Chelsea's Sam Vanderpump says "raw and unfiltered" new documentary reveals "a different side" to him

description: "You really get to know us in this documentary."
encoded: Sam Vanderpump is giving audiences a much closer look at his life, as he documents his liver transplant journey in an emotional and truly candid documentary coming to E4. Across two episodes, the docuseries traces Sam's health since his near-death experience through to the present day and capture his and Alice's most intimate milestones - their wedding, the arrival of their baby boy and the unwavering support of Sam’s mum and aunt, Lisa Vanderpump, as well as their tight-knit Chelsea circle. Early last year, Sam shared that he "nearly died" after liver and kidney failure caused sepsis, caused by a rare genetic condition he was born with, and while recovery was challenging, he was able to lean on his wife Alice Yaxley for support. But Sam was met with a tough setback when he received the news that he will need a liver transplant. While fans may well tune into Made in Chelsea each week for a dose of Sam and Alice, this documentary captures them in a completely different and more authentic light than many will be used to. "I think there is a lovely side to the documentary where you actually see a more raw version of Alice and I. And you really meet the real us," Sam told Radio Times in an exclusive interview. He continued: "Made In Chelsea is Made in Chelsea for a reason, and we love doing it, but this is raw and unfiltered, so you really get to know us in this documentary." Despite being used to the cameras and production crew on Made in Chelsea, Sam admitted that filming this series was "harder" than anything they'd experienced before. "I think it made us realise how much we take Made In Chelsea for granted," he said. "It's a casual filming, Made in Chelsea follows our lives for sure..." Alice added: "You can't hide from the cameras [in the doc]. When you're going through something extremely emotional, there is no hiding." The two 60-minute episodes document moments including Sam's hospital appointments as he sought consultation from the experts at King's College Hos…

encoded: The line-up for the first ever full-length series of The Celebrity Apprentice has been announced by the BBC – with Emmerdale star Danny Miller and Radio 2 presenter Richie Anderson among the 12 stars looking to prove their business credentials to Lord Sugar. The contestants also include previous winners of both The X Factor and Britain's Got Talent in the shape of Alexandra Burke and Diversity's Jordan Banjo respectively, in addition to UK garage legend DJ Spoony, presenter Gethin Jones and Gladiator Sheli McCoy. The other competitors include journalist Kay Burley, actress and online personality Maddie Grace Jepson, podcaster and content creator Max Balegde, comedian and writer Laura Smyth and television personality Toni Laites. Although there have been previous one-off celebrity editions of the long-running reality show, this is the first time there's been a full series featuring famous faces – with the contestants set to compete across six episodes for the chance to win a £100,000 donation to a charity of their choice. Meanwhile, the iconic boardroom will be relocating to a London City skyscraper for the series – and Lord Sugar has promised fans that he won't be going any easier on the participants than he would in a regular series. "We’ve not done anything like this before, and it’ll be entertaining to see these 12 celebrities being put through six weeks of some brilliant business challenges," he said. "But just because they’re celebrities, it doesn’t mean they’re going to get an easy ride, especially when there’s £100,000 at stake for their chosen charity." The BBC's head of entertainment commissioning Kalpna Patel-Knight added that the series "takes everything audiences love about the format and turns the pressure right up." She added: "This year’s celebrities arrive with strong reputations – but in the boardroom, status counts for nothing. They’ll be tested on leadership, teamwork and commercial instinct, and only those who can truly deliver will make it throu…

description: It was a tense boardroom.
encoded: The Apprentice 2026 winner Karishma Vijay has revealed she thought Lord Sugar was going to hire both her and runner-up Pascha Myhill in the final moments of the episode. Tonight (16 April), saw Karishma and Pascha go head-to-head in one finale task in a bid to win Lord Alan Sugar's investment. Supported by returning candidates, the finalists were tasked with launching their business to a room full of industry experts and even past winners. After pitching to the masses, developing a trailer and logo for their brand, it all came down to one final plea in the boardroom as both candidates shared why they thought they were deserving of the £250,000 cash injection into their business. After much deliberation, Lord Sugar decided to invest in Karishma, despite him not having a bad word to say against Pascha's pitch, suggesting as though he could have gone in a different direction – something he's only done once before. In an exclusive chat with Radio Times, Karishma shared she thought at a point Lord Sugar was going to hire them both: "I think it needs to be said, I am so proud of Pascha. In my head, I also thought he was going to pick both of us. But ultimately, what a big win for both girls here." Lord Sugar has only ever hired two candidates in the final once before in 2017, with the business mogul stating he "genuinely couldn't decide" between the two finalists. But this time round, he continued with just one sole winner, something Karishma described as a "surreal" moment. "Not to sound cliché, but for me, it was [in the] very first boardroom Lord Sugar told me to get to the point and then a couple of boardrooms [later] Lord Sugar was trying to remember my name, so I always used to think, 'Whatever it's okay'," she explained. "For him to say and point to me and say those words and say my name, and have a smile on his face and be so happy about his decision, he knows I'll make him money. So I feel like we both, in that moment, connected and I feel like [that] even on a v…

Earlier this year, a whopping 20 candidates entered the infamous boardroom, all armed with stacked business plans and dreams of becoming his next business partner, as well as a £250,000 cash injection into their business. But as the weeks went on, the candidates began to drop like flies until just two – Pascha Myhill and Karishma Vijay – remained in the running. And after much deliberation in the boardroom, Karishma Vijay was crowned the winner of this year's This Apprentice. Tonight's episode saw the finalists launch their business to a room full of industry experts and some legends from the last 20 years, including Margaret Mountford and Nick Hewer and three incredible past season winners, Dr Leah Totton, Ricky Martin and Dean Franklin. They then returned to the boardroom one last time, as Lord Sugar, Karren Brady and Tim Campbell all deliberated and offered their thoughts on the finalists and their pitches before the hiring finger was pointed. After hearing one last pitch from Pascha and Karishma as to why they thought they should become his business partner, Lord Sugar made his final decision, saying: "Ladies, here it is. Karishma, you know that I've been in this business before, it's a very, very slippery pole to climb and I've done it before and I've made people into very, very significant business people, and I do like skincare. "Pascha, I've got recruitment companies and I know the recruitment world but you say this market for care homes is quite buoyant and so, after deep consideration and listening to you and following you for 12 weeks, I've come to a conclusion – and the conclusion is that I'll be investing in Karishma." Heading into the process, Karishma was seeking investment to elevate her current business – Kishkin – into a global obsession. Speaking of how it felt to be hired, Karishma said: "I c…

description: It's going to be tougher than ever before.
encoded: Things are about to get much more difficult on Last One Laughing UK... The entertainment hit, which tasks comedians with ensuring they don't giggle while trying to make one another laugh, will return for a Halloween special later this year – but there's a twist. Speaking at the Broadcast Summit, commissioner Cat Lynch told audiences that, in addition to the normal rules around not laughing, comics will also be penalised for screaming. The Prime Video comedy series will be introducing scares to make the contestants jump, which might make it rather difficult to withhold screams... There's no word yet on who will be taking part or if there will be any returning faces, so watch this space. Prime Video confirmed last month that Last One Laughing had been greenlit for a third season as well as a Halloween special, with the former coming to screens in 2027. The most recent series concluded earlier this month and saw the return of Bob Mortimer, who entered the game hoping to retain his title of champion, though he didn't think his previous win gave him an advantage in season 2. He told Radio Times magazine: "The moment I walked in, I thought, 'No, it’s an entirely different dynamic'. I think the first three that I clocked were Alan Carr, Romesh [Ranganathan] and David [Mitchell], and I thought, 'Uh-oh, I have no chance. This is tough.'" Speaking about knowing some of the younger comedians less, he added: "That’s one of the joys of doing the show. As silly as it sounds, you can get quite close to people in those intense six hours. "At my age, you like seeing young people doing good, and they were really funny. It was a joy." Last One Laughing UK seasons 1 and 2 are available to watch on Prime Video.

Pascha Myhill and Karishma Vijay are the two finalists remaining in the competition and as ever, will have to launch their business before pitching to industry experts and Lord Sugar at a black-tie event. Over the course of 12 weeks, there have been plenty of tense boardroom exchanges, task blunders and savage firings, and it has all come down to two!

After one last pitch from Dean and Anisa as to why they should become his business partner, Lord Sugar made his final decision, saying: "This is the way I see it. Dean, through the process you've been quite good. There've been a few rocky moments where you remained in it by the skin of your teeth, but do I have the confidence in the residential market? As opposed to food, where everyone’s got to eat, and a £10, £12 pizza is affordable to most people. That's where I am at the moment. "Given deep consideration, I’m going to say that, Dean, you’re going to be my business partner."

In a recent episode of the reality series, the remaining couples headed to the retreat, but it was brides Bec and Rachel that found themselves at loggerheads due to a comment made by Bec. The comment itself, however, was censored, so it became a little confusing as to why Rachel became so upset with Bec... So, what went down at the retreat? Scroll on as we take you through the dramatic moment, and explain further details on Bec and her relationship status. Why did Bec and Rachel clash at the retreat? Bec and Rachel were involved in a "feud" during the Married at First Sight Australia retreat, which erupted when Bec marked the occasion with a toast. "Ladies and gentlemen," she began. "Guys, I wanted to just call us here tonight because it’s the first night of the retreat and we’ve had 'I love yous' and we’ve had a couple that I thought could not come back from the brink of hell bounce back. "And we've had ********," Bec said, making a lewd comment involving details of Rachel and Stephen's sex life. This word was censored by Channel 4, meaning audiences weren't exactly clear on what Bec said. When it was broadcast in Australia, however, this part was uncensored, with the comment itself relating to a private sexual act between Rachel and Stephen that Rachel had told the girl group in confidence. After publicising this knowledge to the entire group, it's safe to say Rachel wasn't best pleased. "I didn't think it was funny. She turned something that Steven and I were so excited about, telling others about where we're at, into a joke," Rachel said to the camera shortly after Bec's comment. Who is Bec Zacharia? Age: 35 Job: Account manager Location: South Australia Bec is an account manager who describes herself as a loud, outspoken, social butterfly who is "never shy of being the centre of attent…

Like in season 1, the players will travel to The Stag for the chance to win $1 million, which is awarded to one player at the start.

MasterChef fans, welcome to the new era with judges Grace Dent and Anna Haugh: "We take care of each other"

description: Anna Haugh and Grace Dent are taking over TV’s biggest cooking contest. And they’re unfazed by the challenge.
encoded: This article first appeared in Radio Times magazine. Here they all are, trooping into Day One of this year’s contest with shining, enthusiastic faces. There’s the woman who wants to show her expertise at cooking steak and chips; the man who only ate an egg for the first time in his 20s; the chap who has spent years dreaming of wearing a MasterChef apron. Watching at home, we’ll come to know and root for the new tranche of amateur chefs being put through their paces on the legendary cooking show. But they’re not the only fresh faces this time – there are new judges, too. Restaurant critic Grace Dent and chef Anna Haugh have both had stints as judges on the celebrity and professional MasterChef variants, but the cut and thrust of the OG version is where Dent and Haugh now reign. And they like it that way. “To anyone who can get through those first few rounds, I think, wow,” says Dent. “Everyone says, ‘I will make, say, beef bourguignon and some fluffy rice as my signature dish.’ And they practise at home and make it nine times, until all their friends are sick of it. And then they walk into the MasterChef kitchen, and right away they think, ‘Oh, that’s not the beef I wanted!’ And you don’t know where anything is, and you’re not quite sure how the hob works. It’s like going to a holiday cottage and trying to make a simple omelette.” “And there’s a film crew and two scary judges interviewing you,” chimes in Haugh. “I like spotting that glimmer of raw talent, it really excites me,” adds Dent. “People who from the moment we say, ‘Let’s cook!’ begin to move like a chef. It’s exciting, because I know we’re going to take them on a journey. And each time we throw something at them, they get a bit better, and that’s what I’m looking for.” Well, not the only thing. She beadily surveys a bowl of chips that has been placed in the middle of the table. This is after a three-hour RT photo shoot, and both women are ravenous. They each take handfuls – and then the judging begins. “The…

description: His reasoning may surprise you.
encoded: Amid rumours of famous faces heading to The Traitors castle later this year, there is one actor fans can be sure will not be making an appearance – and their reason might surprise you. During an appearance on the BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg, the actor revealed he returned down the chance to appear in the upcoming season of The Celebrity Traitors. "I think there's a level of fame that… I think it propels you into the public eye, at a level of exposure that I don’t really want," he explained. "I like doing, you know, it’s like doing my music things – it’s very difficult for people in that business to understand that you want to keep it small." Filming will be gearing up for the second celebrity edition soon, though casting details are yet to be confirmed by the BBC, but that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from spinning. Some of the names thrown into the mix include the likes of actor Michael Sheen, singer Cheryl Tweedy and Hugh Grant. Just days after Alan Carr took the title of Celebrity Traitors champion, the BBC confirmed a second season had been greenlit. 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." The Celebrity Traitors will return later this year. Season 1 is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.
