The Celebrity Traitors’ star Alan Carr has filmed a pilot episode for a new BBC quiz show, it is reported.

The comedian has been described as “the hottest man on TV right now” amid his stint on the popular reality TV show, the final of which airs on Thursday. It is understood Alan, 49, worked abroad for BBC Studios at the end of last month for the new primetime, celebrity-led format.

“Unquestionably, Alan is the hottest man on TV right now. Everyone wants a piece of him. But the BBC have acted quickly and last week he was jetted out to a swanky European city for a day of filming a pilot,” a source said.

Alan has also been linked with one of the Strictly Come Dancing roles, we reported last week. He has been praised for his charisma and competitive attitude, traits said to be admired by Strictly bosses.

But first, if the pilot is successful, it is understood Alan will get a bumper deal to front the new game show. It will be one of the first regular shows Alan has presented solo since Chatty Man on Channel 4, which ended on Christmas Day 2017 after an eight-year stint. He did, though, host Picture Slam, which returns next week.

And the pilot is indeed believed to have been well-received by bosses at the Beeb. Speaking to The Sun, the source added: “It went well and now it’s just a matter of when, not if, this gets green-lit.” However, details of the exact nature of the show are top secret for now, the insider stressed.

Some 15 million viewers are expected to tune in to see who wins tomorrow’s Celebrity Traitors final, featuring Alan’s fellow Traitor, singer Cat Burns, with Faithfuls ex-rugby star Joe Marler, comedian Nick Mohammed and historian David Olusoga. Joe has also impressed in the smash-hit series, so much so there is speculation he, too, could have his own programme. The 35-year-old former rugby player has even been rumoured to become the next James Bond.

Jonathan Ross, who was banished last week, has been given a one-year contract extension with ITV amid the success of The Celebrity Traitors. However, if Alan gets a new chat show, the funnyman could well go head to head with his fellow former Traitor.

Home Bargains has clarified its 15p carrier bag rule for customers across the nation. The Liverpool-based retailer, officially known as TJ Morris Ltd, ranks among the UK’s most rapidly expanding discount chains.

Boasting more than 600 locations nationwide and employing over 28, 500 staff, the business stands as the UK’s largest independent grocery operator. Tom Morris launched the inaugural Home Bargains shop, originally called Home and Bargain, in Liverpool back in 1976, and it has since grown into a nationwide presence.

The stores have become favourites for their budget-friendly homewares, groceries, beauty products and toys. Home Bargains shoppers wanting their items bagged must pay 15p per bag.

The company’s website outlines the reasoning behind the 15p charge for plastic carriers, claiming it offers “the cheapest” reusable option available. The statement explains: “As a company, we have decided to only sell reusable carrier bags at 15p (40p in Northern Ireland), as we believe that this is the cheapest and most cost-effective reusable carrier bag on the high street.

” This will not only benefit the environment but also our customers. We also encourage customers to bring their own reusable bag with them when they visit. “

Similar laws apply to home bargains as do other retailers.

Customers nationwide are now aware of Home Bargains’ 15p carrier bag rule. One of the UK’s most rapidly expanding discount chains is the Liverpool-based retailer TJ Morris Ltd, which is officially known as TJ Morris Ltd.

The company is the largest independent grocery store in the UK, with over 600 locations nationwide and over 28,500 employees. In 1976, Tom Morris inaugurated the first Home Bargains store in Liverpool, which was originally known as Home and Bargain. Since then, the chain has expanded to include all of its customers.

The stores are renowned for their affordable toys, beauty products, and homegoods. Home Bargain buyers who want their goods bagged are required to pay 15p per bag.

The website of the business details the justification for the 15p plastic carrier charge, which the company claims offers “the cheapest” reusable option. We as a business have chosen to only sell reusable carrier bags for 15p (40p in Northern Ireland),” the statement states. We think this is the most affordable and least expensive reusable carrier bag available.

Not only will this help our customers but also the environment. When visiting, we also advise customers to bring their own reusable bag with them.

Footballing legend David Beckham revealed that he was “more emotion than nerves” on his big day at Winsdor Castle with King Charles.

Sir David Beckham has revealed exactly what he was feeling when he was knighted by King Charles after years of waiting. The football icon, 50, was recognised at Windsor Castle by the King for his services to sport and charity.

His exciting news was made public over the summer, but he waited until Tuesday to get his moment. His wife, Lady Victoria, also attended the occasion, and she even donned her first-ever tailored menswear suit from her line of fashion.

David and Victoria’s children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, also made sure to be by their dad’s side for his big day. However, eldest son Brooklyn continued to distance himself from his famous family as he was nowhere to be seen.

Despite the pain it may have caused, David has opened up about his knighthood as he confessed it was a “very emotional day”. Revealing more about the big moment, an orchestral version of Golden from the hit Netflix series K-Pop Demon Hunters played in the background.

It is thought to have been a rather cheeky reference to Victoria’s frequently used nickname, “Goldenballs.” In all truth, David said, “Today was such an emotional day. I’m not talking about nerves.”

“There have been a few tears and a lot of emotion,” he added to the Sun. “It’s been a very special day.” David explained that his achievement is something that they can “all be proud of today as a family”.

Son Romeo gushed over David following the knighthood as he shared on social media: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much xxx Congrats Sir dad.”

Victoria praised Cruz and the Windsor Castle family, while Cruz also shared photos of the family. Thankful for this occasion and for my incredible team who worked so hard to realize the vision.

In honor of his new initials, Sir David Beckham, David wore the first-ever tailored menswear piece from Victoria’s own fashion label, which featured sweet details, including a label with the date and SDB.

Brooklyn has chosen not to message a congratulatory message over the summer because he has chosen not to share the news of David’s knighthood. Instead, the aspiring chef quickly shared a post about pretzel pita chips on Instagram that caused a stir among the followers.

Brooklyn was “thrilled” for his dad, according to one source, who still favors keeping “no contact” with his family for the time being. David managed to exchange a few words with the King after the rumored conflict on his big day.

Lip-reading expert Nicola Hickling explained that David responded by telling him he was proud of himself and that David later revealed what he wanted to do with his career after that. King Charles praised Nicola’s speech while speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots, saying, “I am so proud of all you have done with your sports and charities. Amazing, you are beyond reproach. I’m pleased to knight you.

The King urged David to “do what you’re good at” when it had been a “great day.” David made it clear that he wanted to write a book at this point. If I’m honest, it’s been my greatest honor. I’ll write a book the following day. However, it has been incredible to be here today.

David described his outfit making by Victoria to the PA as “quite impressive.” He “inspires quite a few of my looks over the years, and he definitely inspired this look because he’s kind of the most elegantly dressed man I know.”

My wife made me do it, she said. When I looked at old photos of him wearing morning suits when he was still a young child, I thought, “OK, that’s what I want to wear,” so I gave it to my wife, and she did.

Sir David Beckham has opened up about his family in a rare interview just hours after being awarded his knighthood for services to charity and sports by King Charles

Sir David Beckham made a very open statement about his family. The former footballing icon was today presented with his knighthood by King Charles at Windsor Castle, for his services to charity and sports.

The ex-England captain was joined by his wife, Lady Victoria, and his mother, Sandra and dad, Ted, as they watched on in awe during the emotional investiture. Just hours later, the Beckham family celebrated with their children, Romeo, Cruz and Harper, with David joking they could call him “Sir Dad”.

One noticeable person was absent from the joyous moment: Sir David and Lady Victoria’s eldest child, son, Brooklyn. In recent years, the aspiring chef has had a strained relationship with his famous parents. Brooklyn famously snubbed David’s 50th birthday celebrations and hasn’t publicly acknowledged his royalist father being given his knighthood.

But while he admits today was filled with more emotions than nerves, he was reassured by the presence of his family. “To have my parents there today, to have my wife there to celebrate with my children, it makes it a very emotional day,” he said.

Speaking to The Sun, about his charity work, which he says he started aged 15 in Manchester, Sir David added: “So that important work will always continue. But today is just a day to savour as a family.” Brooklyn has remained silent on social media today.

But son Romeo praised his dad. Sharing a snap of himself and his family, the footballer said: “No one deserves this more than you, love you so much.” Poking fun, he joked: “Congrats Sir dad.”

Moments later, Lady Victoria shared snaps from the day on social media, writing: “David, from the moment I met you 28 years ago, you’ve always been so proud to represent your country. Whether on or off the pitch, no one loves England or respects our Royal Family more, so to see you honoured by The King today is something I’ll forever cherish.

“You’ve achieved so much, and yet you’re still the same kind, humble, hardworking man I met nearly 30 years ago, as well as the most amazing husband and father. I’ve never felt prouder than I do today. Sir @davidbeckham, we all love you so much xxx.”

Friends of the footballing icon who made his debut for Manchester United in 1995 told the Mirror that Beckham will not “sit back idly” and will continue to focus on his charity work with the hopes of “trying to make a difference.”

They added to us: “There are some celebrities who get a knighthood and you don’t hear from them again… But David wants to use this incredible honour to champion the causes he believes in and raise their profile. He is determined to give back to the UK.”

He says his knighthood is the “proudest moment” of his career. Over the years, he’s backed a string of charity causes, as well as being a goodwill ambassador for UNICEF since 2005. Just last year, he was named as an ambassador of The King’s Foundation, an educational charity launched by Charles in 1990.

Speaking at Windsor Castle, he said: “All the things that I do, I do out of love. I don’t do it because I’m forced to do it, I don’t do it because I have to do it, I do it because it’s important because I think there’ll always be something to do. I do believe that my work will never stop. I enjoy work. I got brought up with the right values to have respect for people and that will continue.”

He wore a bespoke grey three-piece suit, designed by Lady Victoria, who wore a navy Bela Midi dress from her own brand, along with a Stephen Jones hat. Sir David also took inspiration from the King when it came to deciding what he wanted to wear.
