Alison Hammond is ready to head Down Under again 15 years after her first I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here appearance, according to reports. The This Morning presenter, 50 is reportedly getting set to head to Australia again to feature on the ITV show’s spin-off offering.
Alison first took part in the series 15 years ago in 2010. At the time she appeared as a late entry. And now, she is said to be heading early, with bosses excited to have her on board.
A source described the former Big Brother star as a “national treasure”, expressing her her “signature charm” will be well received.

Speaking to The Sun, the source said: “Her signature charm and infectious humour will go down a storm. She’ll only be away a week so This Morning won’t miss her too much.”
And Alison has previously been honest about her initial experience. She admitted she didn’t enjoy being part of the show due to her late entry.
“I went in like, halfway through,” she said. “So everyone had established relationships and I just really didn’t enjoy myself at all.”
Maybe if I went in now and went in from the beginning and bonded with everyone. Basically everyone was bonded and I was like, oh God I don’t really like it here.”
She added: “There was no hot water, I went into the creek and washed in cold water.”
While Alison is now expected to be a part of the sister show and let her feelings be known, this year’s campmates were reportedly announced this week.
The first rumoured star has been pictured arriving at the airport ahead of the ITV show’s launch. The 2025 series of Ant and Dec’s hit competition kicks off next week, with a number of huge stars reportedly taking part.
Loose Women star Kelly Brook was spotted leaving her terminal at Heathrow this week ahead of a flight to Australia. The 45-year-old sported chic brown loungewear for the 17-hour flight as she checked in a few vintage suitcases. The make-up free star smiled for the cameras as she walked through the airport.
Alongside Kelly, it’s thought the likes of EastEnders’ Shona McGarty, reality star Jack Osbourne, TV presenter Vogue Williams and Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley will be joining in the jungle. Other rumours see celebrities such as comedian Ruby Wax, Youtube star AngryGinge, ex footballer Alex Scott, Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp, comic Eddie Kadi, rapper Aitch and Celebs Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson expected to join the cast.

Joe Marler said he felt ‘heartbroken’ as his friend Nick Mohammed turned on him during the Celebrity Traitors finale and voted to banish him instead of Traitor Alan Carr

Joe Marler has broken his silence after being banished from Celebrity Traitors at the last minute – and admitted he felt “heartbroken” when he was eliminated.
The former rugby union player, 35, correctly guessed that comedian Alan Carr, 49, and singer Cat Burns, 25, were the remaining Traitors – and thought that his friend Nick Mohammed, 45, would support him in voting both of them out. Even though Cat was eventually eliminated, the nail-biting finale took an unexpected turn when Nick actually started believing that Joe was a Traitor too as he told the singer “I’m sorry” after voting for her to be banished.
This meant that Nick eventually voted to eliminate Joe instead of Alan – and the actor was shocked to find out, alongside filmmaker David Olusoga, that the comedian had been a Traitor from the very beginning of the show. Joe has now spoken out following he finale, which at its peak was seen by 12 million people, according to the BBC.

He told BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen: “I was also expecting to win. I thought me and Nick, really, we’d nailed this one. I was heartbroken. He didn’t stick to my plan.
“He went with his gut, which is a shame, but I still was so in love with him, because that little like dickie bow, his little face, the three little love hearts, he put on my name [on the blackboard after voting for him].”
However, Joe admitted: “Although in that moment, I was heartbroken.” But he added: “I really enjoyed Nick. He’s fantastic.” Joe also described Alan as “unbelievable” after the comedian won the entire prize pot of £87,500, which he has donated to the children’s cancer charity Neuroblastoma UK.
After this week’s finale, Joe announced he is returning to podcasting with his new show, Joe Marler Will See You Now, which will see the former Harlequins forward “reimagined as an entirely unqualified yet oddly persuasive pseudo-psychologist” who will grill celebrity guests with a series of increasingly probing questions and bespoke personality tests.
The podcast – which will launch on Thursday, November 13, and will be available to listen to on BBC Sounds – is produced by Folding Pocket, the same label that produces The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked. Joe also shared a post on Instagram about his new show just minutes after the Celebrity Traitors finale ended.
“I am really excited to be launching a new podcast with a twist! Think Good Will Hunting meets The Goonies,” said Joe as his new project was announced. “I’ve always loved asking questions and learning new things.
“This new show lets me do it in the most surreal, unpredictable way. I can’t wait for people to see just how ridiculous, and surprisingly revealing, it’s going to be.”

In a funny TikTok video announcing the show, Joe also took a swipe at Nick as he filmed himself receiving a call from the actor. But after looking at his phone, he said: “Nick Mohammed? Nah,” before throwing his phone to the side. The logo of his new show then flashed up on the screen.

Kelly Osbourne showed how much her dad’s presence defined her life with a sweet “shoutout” to him months after his death. The 41-year-old reality star and late rocker, 76, were extremely close in the tight knit Osbourne household.
And now, Kelly has revealed her dad had a major part to play in teaching her as she grew older. Kelly took to Instagram to share a quote from a site called Mind of a Woman.
It read: “Shoutout to my dad for teaching me how to be a man even though I’m his daughter”. Kelly still regularly posts about her dad on social media.

The Black Sabbath front man died on July 22 this year just weeks after an epic Back to the Beginning farewell concert at his beloved Villa Park. It was to be hisfinal performance after his career was lauded by a number of icons from the heavy metal genre.
Earlier in the week, Kelly had posted sweet throwback snaps of her dad with her son Sidney to mark the tot’s third birthday. Ozzy looked to be loving life in the images as he bonded with his grandson.
She admitted in the post that she cried her eyes out making the emotional montage of the duo. In another image, Ozzy and Sidney were also seen lying in bed with Sharon Osbourne.
Kelly captioned the post with a sweet nod to her father, saying that the musician will be “watching down” on his family. She penned: “I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already.
“I cried my eyes out making this reel. So much has happened in the most magical ways in the last three years.”
She went on: “‘Happy birthday my little angel I know what Papa is watching down on you so proud of the little man that you are becoming! YOU ARE 3!!!!!!!!! I love you I love you I love you.”
And she has since shared more images of family life, including how they have their own chicken coop. Kelly showed off the influx of eggs the family now has, saying they had so many she wanted to know how to donate some.
Kelly’s brother, Jack, is rumoured to be going into the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here jungle. With the show just days away from launching, reports claim Jack is on board.
“He is believed to be going into the jungle with full support of his mother and his sister Kelly,” a source said. “Jack is very likely to discuss Ozzy, which will be an incredibly moving moment for the campmates and for viewers and fans of the adored rocker,” they added to the Sun.
Jack is already very accustomed to reality TV. He starred in the first of its kind show The Osbournes with his famous family two decades ago. He has also appeared on ITV thanks to Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie from 2005 to 2009.
And he was on the History channel’s Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour from 2016 to 2018. I’m A Celebrity is just days away as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will return Down Under for Sunday 16 November.
James Bond star Pierce Brosnan had previously spoken about his estrangement with his son Christopher during an interview with Playboy in 2005

Pierce Brosnan has reconciled with his estranged son Christopher – 20 years after revealing he had “cut him off” for refusing to kick his drug addiction.
Our exclusive pictures show the James Bond star, 72, and the 52-year-old filmmaker leaving a trendy bistro in London’s Notting Hill together on Wednesday night following a family meal.
An onlooker said: “They both looked happy and relaxed while sitting down with one of Brosnan’s other sons Dylan. Pierce and Christopher’s problems have been well documented. But it seems they’ve managed to put them behind them. It was really nice to see them together.”
Christopher, who worked as an assistant director on two of Pierce’s bond films, including The World Is Not Enough, is the biological son of Pierce’s late first wife, Australian actress Cassandra Harris and her ex-husband Dermot.
Dad-of-five Pierce, who later went on to marry current wife Keely Shaye Smith, adopted both Chris and his late sister Charlotte when their birth father died in 1986 while he was married to Cassandra. Charlotte tragically died from ovarian cancer – the same illness that took the life of her mother – in 2013 at the age of just 41.
Christopher, who starred in the original series of Love Island in 2005, has suffered from cocaine and heroin addictions. He was jailed for three months for drink-driving in 1997 after being fined £1,000 for the same offence the previous year.
He almost died after a drugs overdose in 2002 and later spent time in a £500-a-day rehab clinic. And he was later arrested in Brixton, South West London, for possession of heroin in 2005.
He hit the headlines after becoming involved in a massive brawl at Browns nightclub in London and was later banned from the venue and he was also arrested on suspicion of theft at West End nightclub Chinawhite, before charges were later dropped.
Pierce, who starred as 007 in four Bond films, including GoldenEye, Tomorrow Never Dies and Die Another Day, previously spoke about their estrangement during an interview with Playboy in 2005.
He said: “Christopher is still very lost. Shockingly so. I know where he is, but he’s having a hard life. I can only have strong faith and believe he will recover. He has tested everybody in this family, but none more so than himself. He knows how to get out. He doesn’t want to. It’s painful because you shut down.
“You never completely cut them off, but I have cut Christopher off. I had to say: ‘Go. Get busy living, or get busy dying. He has my prayers.”
Pierce previously appeared to reach out to Chris in a Father’s Day post in June 2022, writing: “My love forever to you dear sons, Paris, Dylan, Sean and Christopher, thank you deeply for your love on this Father’s Day.” However, while Pierce beamed alongside his other three sons Paris, Dylan and Sean, Chris was not present in the snap.
Strictly star Vicky Pattison admits that her husband Ercan was delighted that she took on Strictly this year – but confesses that babies are most definitely on the agenda for them in 2026
When she opens up during an exclusive photoshoot for OK! about her Strictly journey, straight-talking Vicky Pattison tells us in no uncertain terms that if she wasn’t getting her sparkle on for the hit BBC show, alongside pro partner Kai Widdington, it could have been nappies and late nights instead.
The TV star and Heart radio host, 37, who married businessman Ercan Ramadan last August, admits, laughing, that her Saturday nights could have been looking very different right now. “At the start of this year, I said to Ercan, I’m either gonna do Strictly, a second series of Honesty Box or we’re going to have a baby. When I got the call for Strictly he was over the moon,” she smiles.

She admits that though doing Strictly means they have less quality time together, it’s shown the Geordie favourite just how caring Ercan, 32, is – and she’s convinced he’ll make an incredible father, once the time comes. “So yes, kids are definitely on the cards next year. I think he’s looking forward to it now. He probably thinks I’ll be at home a bit more, which he’s thrilled about,” she says.
Opening up fondly on how much he’s been stepping up since she began dancing, Vicky explains, “He’s my anchor and he spoils me rotten. He wakes me up every morning with my electrolytes, my collagen, ready to go to Strictly school! She adds, “He texts about what I want for dinner and he’s being the best dog dad. There’s a real sense of role reversal, in the traditional sense, right now. It’s progressive and it takes a special man to do that.”
The bubbly star, who recently admitted on social media that Sundays at home with hubby are “sacred” to her right now, added, “Going home to Ercan and the dogs, I’m so grateful for that. I can snap out of whatever steps are flying around in my head and be with my family. I need that moment.”
She also confessed that when Ercan recently flew to see his family in Cyprus for a week – the only time he’s missed seeing her perform live – it hit her hard. “I told him to go. I said, ‘All I’m doing is coming home and whining that I’m tired, then I go to bed.’ But the minute he left, I realised how much I missed him and needed him.”
Back in March, Vicky – who has been very open about her journey towards freezing her eggs at 35, told the Mirror she definitely wanted to start trying for children in the next year or two.

“My mam had me at 30, geriatric back in her day… So if I can get one in before 40, I’ll be over the moon!”, she confessed. “Everyone thought we’d try for kids quite quickly – so did we! But we wanted to enjoy being married, for at least a year.”
She also admitted sweetly that Ercan, whose family is Turkish-Cypriot, is one of four boys, and has confessed he would love a “football team” of sons, while she, coming from “a long line of women who have women”, imagines herself having a daughter first.
Strictly Come Dancing star Dianne Buswell was on the receiving end of some cruel criticism when she and Stefan Dennis were forced to pull out of the BBC dance competition

Strictly Come Dancing fans have had much to talk about this series, but one thing that seems to have received unnecessary noise is Dianne Buswell’s pregnancy.
The 36 year old professional dancer announced shortly before this year’s series began that she and her boyfriend Joe Sugg are expecting their first child together. The couple shared the exciting news on Instagram with a sweet video of them creating a painting together as YouTuber Joe, 34, gushed in the caption: “Our little baby boy we cannot wait to meet you”.
And while Dianne and Joe were initially met with excited messages of congratulations, some cruel Strictly fans couldn’t help but speculate over Dianne’s ability to compete in this year’s series. Dianne was then paired with Neighbours star Stefan Dennis and the pair got off to a storming start.
But, sadly, the actor falling ill meant the duo had to skip a live show one weekend – and what ensued was ignorant questions surrounding Dianne and her pregnancy, claiming there was a ‘cover-up’ going on, as some incorrectly concluded that Dianne’s pregnancy was the real reason the pair had to take a break.
This cruel speculation wasn’t helped when Dianne and Stefan had to pull out of the competition completely after Stefan suffered a painful injury. Dianne was forced to issue a statement to deny speculation that her pregnancy played a part in the pair’s departure from the competition.
One fan wrote in response to Dianne and Stefan’s exit news: “To be honest I saw this coming, Diane couldn’t really continue especially when she gets bigger, bless her. She’s a brilliant dancer and she is one of my favourites sorry to say but I think this was planned to keep her and baby safe, just my thought.”
Dianne took to her Instagram Stories and said, in response: “I sound like a broken record but I’m seeing a bit of this floating around again! I know people say ignore it but actually why should I.
“I will speak up… I would love nothing more than to keep dancing this week next week the week after that so so on and so forth. In fact I have more energy this year than I did this time last year.”
Now, the Mirror has spoken a pre and post natal fitness expert and a midwife to clear up any speculation around pregnancy and exericse.
Grace Strang, Pre and Post Natal specialist PT & Fat Loss coach. and Founder of Mooch Maternity Fitness Classes, told us: “Exercising during pregnancy has been proven time and again to only be beneficial to the mother and child, and as such is recommended to stay active during pregnancy by NHS England. As women now participate in more sports at a higher level (women’s football for example) it is safe and healthy for these individuals to continue to train at this level. The advice is to not undertake strenuous or high levels of physical activity when pregnant if you are not already doing so (but that’s not to say you can’t start at all! I’ve coached pregnant women who never exercises before, we just start at a lower intensity level).”
Mooch Maternity Fitness Classes Founder Grace added that exercise is “safe [throughout] the entirety of pregnancy” but “this depends entirely on the individual”. She explained: “There are certain conditions that if developed during pregnancy (like placenta previa) where exercise is dangerous and NOT advised at all. But these are rare.
“The biggest risk factors, especially in the third trimester are things like overheating, dehydration, over-exhaustion as your body is working much harder with increased blood volume. In Dianne’s case, as her body shape changes and her centre of gravity shifts she may be more likely to falls, also given her sport and the speed its performed (plus dancing with a novice who might trip her up vs a pro!) but this could all be risk assessed before hand.”
Meanwhile, Grace stressed: “Just to add, certain sports or activities are not advised (its just common sense) like boxing, horse riding, or anything where the risk of injury or getting hit is particularly high!”
While Grace said exercise in pregnancy is safe, it can also be beneficial for both mum and baby. She explained: “Improved labour outcomes, it makes your baby fitter (mums who exercised babies are born with more muscle) less chance of developing gestational diabetes and pre-eclampsia, less chance of being overweight, improved cardiovascular fitness, less pelvic floor issues, quicker recovery from both types of birth, less muscle atrophy and therefore improved metabolism.”
And while it does have its benefits, it is also completely OK to slow down if that is what mum decides to do. Midwife Pip – who is an experienced practicing NHS Midwifery Sister, MSc, author of Midwife Pip’s Guide to a Positive Birth, KGH hypnobirthing diploma, founder of the Midwife Pip Podcast, pelvic health specialist, pre and postnatal trainer and, importantly, a mum – explained: “Every pregnancy is different, and energy levels can fluctuate. Slowing down or modifying activity is perfectly normal and often necessary. The goal is to stay active in a way that feels safe and sustainable rather than pushing to pre-pregnancy intensity at all times.”
So, what are the tips? Midwife Pip said: “It’s important to start any exercise with a proper warm-up and finish with a cool-down to reduce the risk of injury. Try to focus on exercises that strengthen your core, support your pelvic floor, and help maintain good posture. Wearing supportive footwear and comfortable clothing makes a big difference, and don’t forget to stay hydrated and avoid overheating while you move.”

While Grace added: “My tips would be to not be scared to continue to exercise! As more pregnant exercising women take part in studies, time and time again exercise is proven to be beneficial to health and not harmful to yourself or baby.
“Like I said earlier, my best advice is to remember its not about getting ‘fitter’ as such in this period, but maintaining the fitness you already have. And having a coach or advice on hand to show you how to adapt your exercise or dance routines etc so you can continue to do the exact sports you love in the way you want to.”
