The Richard Osman show has been scheduled.
After House of Games was moved to a different time slot this evening, Telly viewers were left enthralled.
The popular quiz show typically broadcasts on BBC Two from Monday to Friday at 6pm, but tonight’s episode was pushed back due to the World Cup Draw coverage.
One person expressed frustration on social media by saying, “Can’t believe I’m having to go without House of Games for this s***” when it became public that fans would have to wait until 7:30pm on Friday evening.
Another yelled, “Where is House of Games?” and said, “Never mind the football.” At six, a third chimed in, “I turned over to BBC2 to watch House of Games.” Very disappointed to see this garbage. Someone else yelled, “Pee’d off that House of Games will be an hour late.”
Four celebrities vie for daily prizes on the Richard Osman-fronted program for five consecutive days.
Scores accumulate throughout the week before an overall winner is announced on Friday, as each episode culminates with a rapid-fire round that determines the daily winner.
Points are awarded based on each celebrity’s finishing position daily, with Friday’s totals receiving double points. This week’s celebrity contestants include Giovanna Fletcher, Montell Douglas, Will Bayley and Josh Pugh.
Host Richard previously revealed how his “family of quizzers” background has helped him succeed in his career. He stated in a statement to the Guardian that while I’m a fairly good quizzer, I’m not really helping because I come from a family of fairly good ones.
You want to compete with someone who is almost as clever as you, which is what I always find to be true. Someone you can only win against about 52% of the time, so you’ll always have a good time. However, you should always be successful if you play at your best.
Just last week, Richard revealed that he would only agree to be on Celebrity Traitors if producers gave him the option to play a traitor rather than a faithful. Richard, who turns 55 on November 28th, revealed to The Chipping Forecast podcast that he had been approached about joining the BBC program that attracted viewers and saw the victory of one of the traitors, Alan Carr.
When asked if Richard could participate in the upcoming series, Richard responded, “I said to them, they did ask, and I said I could only do it as a traitor.”
Richard said his decision was motivated by concerns about how he would react when contestants attempt to identify each other’s roles during roundtable discussions, according to the Express.
Richard went on to say that if someone accused me of being a traitor and I am one of them, then I don’t mind, and I’ll fight for myself because that’s the only reason I could do it as a traitor, as he said. I would lose my mind if someone came up to me and said I was a traitor, even though I was faithful. Sincerely, I wouldn’t be able to deal with it in any way.

“I simply couldn’t because it would make me insane just by the injustice it caused.” They can’t guarantee that, so I don’t believe I could do it unless I could be a traitor.

Ant and Dec have sent fans into a frenzy after hinting that an I’m A Celeb star could be returning. And the news is all thanks to a single fan request on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The presenting duo were taking part in a light-hearted Q&A on the platform when a viewer tagged them in a post urging the pair to “bring Ruby back”. While the fan didn’t specify which series they meant, followers quickly assumed it was in reference to a popular former contestant whose appearance had become a fan favourite.
Instead of brushing off the suggestion, Ant and Dec stunned users by replying with a simple but loaded question: “Shall we just do it?” Within minutes, the exchange had racked up thousands of likes, with fans speculating wildly about what the comment could mean. Some insisted the presenters were joking, while others argued the pair wouldn’t tease something so directly unless discussions were already underway behind the scenes for a possible Ruby Wax return.
“She was the best one in there… disappointed she’s gone,” one fan wrote, while another added: “Yes you blomin’ should!” A third said: “PLEASE!!! She was the best campmate this year and brought so much joy do a new segment where you bring her back in.”
Neither Ant nor Dec offered further clarification, but the presenters are known for engaging playfully with fans online. Still, the boldness of the message left many wondering whether the duo were hinting at a genuine comeback.
This comes after a candid chat with the Mirror, the 72-year-old was speaking after becoming the fifth person to leave the camp, which she said left her “devastated”. She said how it felt like she’d been “torn from my family” as she walked the bridge to be reunited with husband Ed.
But she was later left shocked after learning the true number of milk bottles that Kelly Brook, Aitch and Ginge ate. And more generally, she was deeply unimpressed by those breaking the rules with contraband.
Shona was seemingly at the top of her hit list for keeping the butter to herself. “That’s selfish….Shona was an insecure, kind of anxious person, and she’s come out of herself, and she’s verging on kind of entitlement,” she says. “She started off a really shy, inhibited person, and now look at her.”
Ruby said she knew “nothing” about the smuggled contraband, including Alex Scott bringing in salt. “It took me by surprise. And Alex… she’s so refined, she brought it in, but none of them shared it,” she says. “People are greedy and hard.” Instead, she was proud that she “obeyed the rules” unlike others, which also included Shona bringing in an air-freshener for the dunny.
She added: “Where did they get the nerve? Because all of us are jeopardised. I mean, why deodorant? You know what? We have no food and somebody cares about what their body smells like. It’s a s***hole. It’s a hole with s*** in it. Why would you care about the deodoriser?”
Ruby says she would never have seen it or otherwise she would have “ripped it out of her hand.” She added: “But of all things …..nothing necessary like a cleaning tablet. We wore these clothes for two weeks. I mean, I’m still itching. The underpants were never washed. Sorry to share. Mine were flipped over a couple times, and that was it.”
Ruby says the hardest thing she endured was hunger, and admits she barely ate as the food was so disgusting. She says: “I was starving….it was always appalling. A chicken with web feet on it that was black.”
“An eel with teeth or a crocodile with the fingernails. And people thought they could eat that. Jack was always hopeful, saying, “It’s like chicken.” It was never like chicken. It was hideous.” But she loved being camp leader the most – not least as it meant putting her feet up.
Fans went into meltdown after the presenting duo suggested a major star might be scheduled to return to I’m A Celebrity despite having been rejected by the audience.

She claims that Sharon was an insecure, anxious person who has since come out of herself, which gives her a sense of entitlement. She initially appeared timid and reserved, but now you can see that.
Ruby said she knew “nothing” about the smuggled contraband, including Alex Scott bringing in salt. “It took me by surprise.

She continued, “Where did they get the nerve?” because we are all in danger. Why is deodorant, exactly? What do you know? Someone is interested in what their body smells like because we don’t have any food. It’s a s***hole. It has s*** in it, and it’s a hole. What makes the deodorizer important to you?
Ruby claims she never saw it or that she would have “ripped it out of her hand.” Of all things, she continued, “But nothing more than a cleaning tablet is necessary.” For two weeks, we wore these things. I mean, I still feel itchy. Never washed out the underwear. Sorry to share. There were only a few times that mine were flipped over.
Ruby acknowledges that the food she ate was the most difficult to endure because of how much it cost. She claims, “I was starving. … It was always revolting. a chicken with black web feet on it.
“A crocodile with the fingernails or an eel with teeth.” And that was believed to be edible. Jack would always say, “It’s like chicken,” and he never looked back. “It never was chicken like.” It was obscene. But being the camp leader was the one thing she adored, not least because it required putting her feet in the air.

Natasha Hamilton, the charismatic Kitten star, made a return to her Merseyside roots to illuminate Liscard’s Christmas lights, giving an update on her diagnosis with Hashimoto’s disease, her new musical interests, and her five-year-old life.

Natasha responds to Atomic Kitten’s reunion by saying three words.
Natasha Hamilton has shared a huge insight into the future of Atomic Kitten. At 42, Natasha, mother-of-five and singer, is embracing a full-circle moment as she returns to her roots to help lift her hometown’s spirits during what locals have called their “worst Christmas ever.” Once the teenage girl belting out songs in Liscard pubs at just 13, Natasha is now the woman lighting up the district — quite literally — by climbing to the top of a 30ft Norwegian Pine to switch on the lights for a community so close to where she grew up. “Liscard has such a special place in my heart,” she said.
“It wasn’t just about turning on a tree,” she tells us with that familiar mix of Northern warmth and honesty. “It was about giving the community their Christmas back.” And it’s a community that needs the boost. With Asda research showing 73% of Brits feeling the “Grinch Pinch”, Liscard’s festive celebrations have been scaled back in recent years – even becoming known online for having “the worst Christmas tree in Britain.”
But this year, after the community reached out asking for help, Asda stepped in. What followed was a joyful transformation, with Natasha leading the comeback in true headline-making fashion.

Being escorted 30 feet in the air on a cherry picker while the wind was blowing was terrifying, I’ll tell you. she chuckles. My daughter was yelling, “Mummy, come down!” But it was incredible when the lights went on and I witnessed everyone cheering. It sounded like hope.
The night was more than a festive switch-on; it was a reunion between Natasha and the town that shaped her. Born and raised in Liverpool, she spent her early teens performing across the Wirral before shooting to international fame as part of Atomic Kitten. The trio, known for smash hits like Whole Again and The Tide Is High, sold millions, toured the world and became a defining girl band of the 2000s.
She recalls, “We were just kids.” However, Liverpool and the Wirral had a positive impact on us from day one. I can’t enter Liverpool without someone shouting my name because I still feel that love. Natasha cautions against ever saying never because the Atomic Kitten clan is still very close to Jenny and Liz, and that there is never a chance that things will change.
It’s that nostalgia and sisterhood that Natasha dives into in her latest project, Girlbands Forever, the tell-all TV documentary revisiting the highs and lows of girl group life. “It was a 44-hour interview condensed into a few minutes,” she says. “It was exhausting but really cathartic. I remembered things I hadn’t thought about in years. And what struck me most was how many of us, in different bands, were going through the same pressures — but we were always being pitted against each other. It made me really appreciative of what we actually achieved, and very proud to have represented the North West in such a pivotal way in pop music.”
When she discusses the later friendships, she becomes enthralled. “We all enjoyed doing The Big Reunion in 2013.” We finally developed into real people, not just band members. It resembled family. What is Natasha most proud of after dominating the charts for three decades? Although there are numerous achievements, she continued, “My career highlight would be playing the West End lead actress, which was the youngest female actress to do the role.” The ending of the show gives me a unique sense of relief unlike anything I’ve ever felt.
With children ages 2, 11, 13, 19, and 21, Natasha’s household is a bustling whirlwind of routines, school plays, teenage milestones, and toddler magic. Family is at the heart of everything Natasha does. Natasha cheers with pride as she discusses taking her to see Santa because this is her youngest daughter’s first Christmas that she will actually understand. She adored it without a doubt. It created magic.
Her other children are just as busy. “Alfie performed in Grease last week, and Ella had a solo in her Christmas show… they love it! And my eldest son, Josh, came home from Australia last Christmas — that was the best gift ever.” But how does Natasha get herself ready for Christmas? She explained: “We do the reindeer food leaving carrots and sprinkle rainbow glitter on the doorstep to show he’s been, leave milk and cookies for Santa every year. Christmas Day is always about having festive family fun, it gets quite competitive at times with the games, and then karaoke comes out at the end of the day.”
Motherhood, however, has taught Natasha the importance of balance. Diagnosed last year with Hashimoto’s disease, she’s learned to slow down. “It makes you realise you’re not invincible. Some days need to be soft days. I’ve not had a drink for eight weeks — I’m just filling my own cup.”
Natasha’s creative drive is unmatched despite living in a full-time job. She’s now established herself as a solo record label, Morpho Records, after decades in the field. She proudly declares, “I want to support the next wave of UK pop artists.” Kai Bosh, her first signing, is already getting ready for a massive 2026. Natasha is also making brand-new music herself, with an EP and a debut single due out in January.
She smiles up and says, “I’m really ready for next year.” It will be incredible, they say. The Hamilton family will be celebrating Christmas in the way that they know how to do: loud, joyful, and full of love before another whirlwind of releases, filming, and school runs kicks off.
She laughs, “It’s karaoke, dancing around the kitchen table, silly games, disco lights, and wrapping the living room door so the kids have to burst through it in the morning.” The best chaos is “complete chaos,” not “the complete chaos.”

Natasha still occasionally feels misunderstood for a woman who has spent more than 25 years in the public eye. I’m tough, people think. I must be, too. However, I cry at everything because I’m so soft underneath.
