New TV collection Movie star Bear Huntdrops on Netflix on Wednesday, hosted by Holly Willoughby.
Twelve celebrities, together with former Spice Woman Mel B, Strictly head choose Shirley Ballas, and chef and rapper Massive Zuu, will probably be dropped into the Central American jungle.
Up to now, so predictable. However this present comes with a twist.
We’re informed those that fail to impress will probably be hunted down by survival skilled Bear Grylls and, if captured, face elimination from the present.
Holly admits her thought of “outdoorsy” often includes taking the canine for a stroll and ending up at a pub lunch (I’m along with her on that).
However the 43-year-old says she dug deep, and compelled herself to be courageous: “As you grow old, you must all the time push your self to attempt new issues.”
Olly Alexander goes again to the 80s
By Mark Savage, Music correspondent
When Olly Alexander performed Radio 1’s Massive Weekend in Luton final summer time, it was simply a few weeks after his Eurovision goals got here crashing down round his ears. However the star dealt with all of it together with his typical good humour.
“And now,” he introduced from the stage, “for the music that was solely 17 locations away from profitable the Eurovision Tune Contest… It is Dizzy!”
Dizzy might have confronted a cold reception in Sweden, however it sounds contemporary and thrilling on the previous Years & Years singer’s new album, Polari, which comes out on Friday.
His first launch as a solo artist, it sees the star embrace the sounds of 80s membership tradition, with influences starting from the queer-coded pop of Erasure and Pet Store Boys to the thunderous drum sounds of Janet Jackson and Artwork Of Noise.
If you happen to’re not conversant in the origin of the title, Olly defined it to me like this: “Polari is sort of thought-about the misplaced language of homosexual males, who would use it to speak with one another in secret when homosexuality was criminalised. So it is acquired a very stunning, wealthy historical past, which I discovered so inspiring while I used to be making the music.”
Olly is internet hosting a few acoustic exhibits and Q&A occasions to advertise the album in Brighton, Liverpool, Nottingham and London. I dare you to ask what he actually thinks about Eurovision.

He can even talk about Donald Trump’s involvement in UFC, and the time he had dinner with controversial British-American influencer Andrew Tate.
