Former Love Island winner Dani Dyer-Bowen is among the line-up of contestants for a new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. Dani, 29, who was forced to withdraw from this year’s Strictly Come Dancing, will take part in the upcoming series of the Channel 4 reality show when it returns in January next year, in which contestants will undertake SAS training in north Africa.

Dani, who is married to England and West Ham United footballer Jarrod Bowen, said: “I’m a massive fan of the show. I’ve always watched it and wondered if I could do it. I want to put myself to the test. I’m nuts, but I think I will be good at it, I’ll be completely out of my comfort zone.

I just hope I can stop letting my brains dictate what I do and concentrate on the final scene because that would be so impressive. I believe I have this physically; however, as my brain viciously attacks me, I’ll struggle with it mentally. I just want to change my negative Nancy and start believing in myself a little more.

She will be joined by former Love Island contestant Gabby Allen, TV personality Jessika Power, social media stars Jack Joseph and Cole Anderson-James, Neighbours actors Ryan Moloney and Natalie Bassingthwaighte, and World Cup-winning former rugby player Ben Cohen.

Cohen once said, “I wanted to take part in both re-discovering my inner self and being tested mentally. We communicate with ourselves every day, so I wanted to put my mental and physical limits to something that would be physically and mentally difficult. I’ll take a good lesson from this.

Gladiator and Olympian Toby Olubi, Graeme Swann and Brad Hodge, Olympic swimmers Emily Seebohm and Mack Horton, and Home and Away actor and musician Axle Whitehead complete the lineup.

I wanted to take part in Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, mostly to see how hard I could push myself, but also to show my kids that even the most difficult tasks can be accomplished by putting one foot in front of the other, Swann said.

In the eight-part series, which will pit Team Australia against Team UK, chief instructor Billy Billingham and his team of directing staff, Jason “Foxy” Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver return to lead the celebrities in their training.

Their national pride is on the line, Billingham said, “This series isn’t just a brutal personal course; it’s a challenge unlike any other.” Who can rise from the ashes and disappear into the wild?

Throw the DS into the mix because North Africa has its own difficulties. For pain, glory, and tears. Who dares prevails, and now is the perfect time to give everything to win.

Celebrity SAS does not eliminate contestants, unlike other reality shows, and instead has contestants who can withdraw themselves either directly from the screen or are eliminated. Those who remain at the end are then declared the winners.

Fox continued, “This year isn’t just about winning the Ashes in Australia; it’s also about pitting British celebrities against Australians.” We, the DS, will mix our aggressive course-setting and brutal terrain with our brutal approach to see who will be reduced to rubble or rise above them. We are bringing this up on a new front by bringing it back to life on a centuries-old rivalry, not just a course! Who Dares to Win?

The launch date for the program will be announced soon on Channel 4 and On Demand in January.

The DIY SOS presenter discusses living in a different country this Christmas, growing up in simpler times, and how he maintains his large, blended family.

Nick Knowles loves Christmas… and he wants the neighbours to know about it. “We’ve had decorations up since early November. We live on a normal street in a normal sort of house…and I’ve got a sixteen foot inflatable Christmas teddy bear in the front garden,” says DIY SOS presenter Nick, 63, who lives in Berkshire with his new wife Katie Dadzie, 35. The pair married this June in a lavish six-figure wedding ceremony at Braxted Park, Essex. They have six children between them, Nick has three sons and a daughter from three previous relationships; Katie has two daughters.

Nick claims that the kids “all adore it,” but some of the locals don’t. I’ve become crazy. I’ve made an archway around the door because there are lights throughout the house. The eaves are illuminated all the way through. It appears lit up like a traffic light and resembles an American Christmas home more than a British Christmas home. And there are many different ways to respond to it…

We hear older people grinching and saying, “I don’t think it’s a little showy, don’t you?” A number of men have also pulled up and said, “Thanks a lot, I’m going to have to do it too,” after my wife has seen it. However, it is very joyful for the majority of people. Some students have even made a different route when they arrive home from school just to see it. A bus came up to our home as well. I don’t reside close to a bus stop.

Born on a council estate in Southall in London, Nick has always loved Christmas. “There wasn’t a lot of money about, but my dad worked so hard. I think that’s probably why I work like a nutcase all the time, I never stop. My dad worked for the civil service, but he’d also work in a pub in the evenings to earn extra money and then the post office used to take on extra people to sort mail at Christmas, and he’d do that too. He was working three jobs – sometimes three in the same day – to make sure we all had Christmas presents and Christmas dinner.”

Nick, who recently served as Smart Energy GB’s ambassador, claims that there weren’t any 16-foot Christmas bears. It was a very straightforward time. My grandad used to think that putting conkers on the windowsill would stop spiders, so would you now believe it? We made our own Christmas decorations out of crepe paper, chains. Our mother probably quickly disposed of the horrendous creation we made from coat hangers that we saw on Blue Peter as well.

Nick goes on to say that she would prepare the Christmas cake during the summer to allow it to mature. And then we could discover a few sixpences hidden in it on Christmas Day. Let’s just say that my own kids don’t understand the excitement of finding a six-penny in a Christmas pudding. They would have desired a $20 note.

Nick and family were devastated when the DIY decorations went bad one Christmas. He has a brother as well as three sisters. We used drawing pins to pinning our homemade paper chains all the way around the living room, but the reception on TV was awful this Christmas. In the Radio Times, we had a ton of options open. Do you recall the excitement of that Christmas publication? revealing the big movies of the year. Anyhow, we couldn’t explain why any of the things we’d chosen were fuzzy and jittery when we went to watch them. It was so disappointing. We didn’t realize we had inserted a drawing pin through the aerial cord until we removed the decorations.

Nick was a contestant on the 2018 series of I’m A Celebrity, finishing in sixth place. He also competed on Strictly Come Dancing in the 2024 series, partnered with Luba Mushtuk. His time on the show was cut short due to a knee injury. But which was harder? “Gosh – I’m A Celeb was difficult because of the boredom and the lack of food. You know, I’m six foot two and a fifty inch chest – I like my food. So that was the main difficulty there. And with Strictly, it was the fitness that got me. …I’m six foot two and a fifty inch chest – I’m not really built for dancing.”

He has never watched either of his shows. I was there. What am I doing next, then, since I’ve sort of done that, then? According to Nick, “I’m always more interested in what I’m doing next than what I’ve already done in the past.” I’ve never seen a single episode of John Barrowman’s television show, despite the fact that he and his entire family sat down to watch it.

He might, however, if Celebrity Traitors called. Although he wishes Joe Marler, a 35-year-old rugby player and finalist, could have joined him on the show. That was funny, Nick says. I’ve known Joe for a long time and he’s an absolutely top guy, so I was really happy to see everyone fall in love with him.

However, Nick’s time is at stake because there is a DIY SOS Christmas special and a book about Roman archeology, which he enjoys reading. He even poses for a Roman helmet while we converse. A large blended Knowles family Christmas will come first, though.

“Christmas will be spent snuggling up next to my family,” Nick declares. Because we have children with many different parents, we are a blended family. However, we all work together to ensure that everyone has a wonderful time. I resemble most men in many ways. That means a happy Christmas as long as your wife and your children are content. We’ll just make an effort to stay away from Trivial Pursuit.

The NeverEnding Story, one of the standout tracks in the Netflix sci-fi drama Stranger Things, is now available on Singing Limahl’s Christmas single.

Limahl, the Wigan native who was previously frontman of 80s hitmakers Kajagoogoo, has re-released his only Christmas song, One Wish For Christmas. It marks his first musical release in over five years and a reimagining of the 70s classic ‘A Horse With No Name’.

The 63-year-old enjoyed a successful solo career beyond the 80s thanks in large part to the enormous success of the title track to the 1984 film, The NeverEnding Story.

The classic family adventure film grossed $100 million in the States- and was then given a whole new lease of life in 2019, when it was used in season three of Stranger Things.

The NeverEnding Story scene in Stranger Things broke records with the new episodes of the sci-fi series achieving 59.6m views in the first five days of release. Fans will be aware that the scene appeared in the Season 3 finale, during the high-stakes episode, The Battle of Starcourt as the main characters attempted to close the gate to the Upside Down.

Following a complete shock and exasperation of the other characters, Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo) and Suzie (Gabriella Pizzolo) performed a heartfelt duet of the song in a split-screen scene.

Limahl said previously, “The songs have got their own life now, and occasionally nice things happen like NeverEnding Story popping up in the third season of Stranger Things.

“That was absolutely brilliant, and I loved what they did with it. My song, Too Shy, has been used in a lot of things as well, including the Adam Sandler movie, The Wedding Singer.”

Limahl (real name Christopher Hamill) also appeared as a late entry on I’m A Celebrity in 2012, when he famously struggled with the jungle environment – especially keeping his trademark spiky hair en pointe.

Discussing his new single, the star said he grew up with ‘very little money’ but tells the Mirror that Christmas was always magical for him. “Growing up in Wigan with two older brothers and a younger sister, Christmas was pure magic.

“We’d deck the halls,” we joked, “manchmal a little too enthusiastically!” and we’d be begging for “official present-unwrapping clearance” at some odious hour when we woke up at Christmas morning.

We certainly made plenty of those memories, and the chorus line of my song perfectly sums it up: “December is that time of year, where memories become souvenirs.”

The singer also appeared on this year’s Comic Relief for the BBC performing Too Shy’ live, to help raise £34m to help combat poverty in the U.K. and around the world.

The release date for One Wish For Christmas (Christopher Music) is now.

As he counts down the birth of his first child with ex-girlfriend Holly Swinburn, Freddy Brazier pays a beautiful yet heartfelt tribute to his late mother, Jade Goody.

Freddy Brazier has paid a heartbreaking tribute to his late mum Jade Goody as he prepares to become a father for the first time.

The 21-year-old model and TV personality – who recently appeared on the BBC’s Race Across The World with his TV presenter dad Jeff Brazier – shared a throwback photo of himself as a child to Instagram with the caption: “Wish I could go back to this age and have my mum back with a finger click.”

Tragically his mum Jade, who shot to fame on the original version of Channel 4 reality series Big Brother, died from cervical cancer on March 22, 2009 at the age of just 27. At the time of her death she had broken up with his dad Jeff and was in a relationship with Jack Tweed, who she married shortly before she passed away.

She left behind Freddy, who was four at the time, and his older brother Bobby Brazier, who was five. Bobby, now 22, has also had a modelling and TV career, starring as Freddie Slater in EastEnders and on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023 where he came runner up with partner Dianne Buswell.

Freddy even claimed he would name his baby after her if she is a girl, despite the fact that both of Jade’s sons have spoken out about missing her. If it’s a girl name, Jade would be a good name, he said, referring to my mother. But I also have some creative and lovely name suggestions.

The baby is due in April of next year, which is very exciting and I’m eager to become a father. I want the baby to love its life, and I’m very happy.

Holly Swinburn, 22, is Freddy’s girlfriend, and they are expecting a child. After he reached out to her on TikTok at the beginning of the summer, their relationship seemed to have developed naturally.

But the romance moved fast, with Freddy moving into Holly’s East London home and the couple even adopting a Pocket Bully dog named Pablo. And byAugust, Holly discovered she was pregnant.

However, it is reported that Freddy and her dog have since been separated over alleged behavior, including drug use, partying with other girls, and taking a planned holiday away from their dog.

She responded, “He]Freddy] sent me a picture of five people, including two girls, at 3 a.m..” He claimed to have been marijuana-smoked in my apartment with them… I made the decision to permanently end it. I’m not sure if he can change, but enough is enough.

Holly struggled to get past the alleged lies despite Holly claiming Freddy showed ” signs of caring throughout her pregnancy, including” attending baby scans.”
