Josh Brolin to play villain in The Running Man reboot

OHMYGOSSIP — Josh Brolin is in final negotiations to play the villain in ‘The Running Man’ reboot.
The film – which is a reimagining of the Arnold Schwarzenegger-led 1987 flick of the same name – follows a desperate man (Glen Powell) who signs on to participate in the TV game show ‘The Running Man’, where enemies of the state have to evade death at the hands of the game’s stalkers to try and win their freedom.
Brolin, 56, is expected to play the ruthless producer of the programme.
As well as the ‘Avengers: Infinity War’ star, the movie recently added ‘The Mandalorian’ actress Katy O’Brian to the cast, who will play one of the contestants on the show.
The movie – which is based on the 1982 Stephen King novel he wrote under the pseudonym Richard Bachman – will be helmed by ‘Baby Driver’ director Edgar Wright, who also co-wrote the script with Michael Bacall.
Earlier this month, Paramount Pictures announced the upcoming movie would arrive at cinemas on 21 November 2025, with production rumoured to start later this year.
Previously, Powell revealed he was doing a lot of fitness work to prepare for the project.
The ‘Twisters’ star told Screen Rant: “I have been doing a lot of sprinting. That’s all I can say. I’ve been working on my sprint.”
Powell is incredibly excited to get the chance to work with “one of [his] favourite filmmakers” and teased the director would be adding adding “a lot of fun Edgar Wright flavour” to the movie.
He continued: “No, I’ll say that Edgar Wright has been one of my favourite filmmakers for as long as I can remember. I think since ‘Shaun of the Dead’, I was like, ‘I can’t wait to work with this guy’. And he just keeps churning out brilliant things that only his brain could concoct.
“‘The Running Man’ is something he’s so passionate about, and we’re really taking the Stephen King book and just adding a lot of fun Edgar Wright flavour to it, and it has been awesome. That’s going to be a really fun one; I’m super excited about it.”

Kathryn Hahn earned major brownie points from kids for Marvel role

OHMYGOSSIP — Kathryn Hahn’s children love the fact she’s part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
The 51-year-old actress reprised her role as Agatha Harkness in Disney+ series ‘Agatha All Along’ and she is “very proud” to be part of the comic book world, particularly because of the enthusiasm of her and husband Ethan Sandler’s teenagers Leonard, 17, and 15-year-old Mae.
She told Britain’s HELLO! magazine: “They love it, my daughter especially.
“My kids were my entrance into Marvel, so this is a big deal for all of us as a family, even if my son pretends he’s way too cool for it all.
“I feel very proud to be a small part of something so huge.”
Despite her success over the years, the former ‘Parks and Recreation’ star has found she gets recognised “way more” now as a result of playing Agatha.
She said: “It’s been a transition. When we did ‘WandaVision’ [during Covid-19], we were all still going out with face masks on.
“But as time has gone on, I’ve been recognised way more than I used to.
“I feel very grateful that we have such awesome fans.
“I’m not on social media, but I’ve seen so many wonderful messages from fans.”
Kathryn was delighted to come back as Agatha for a whole new series following her turn in 2021’s ‘WandaVision’.
She said: “I loved the whole experience as Agatha, but I had no idea I would be asked back, let alone for something more focused on hre.
“She has changed. She’s still a witch through and through but she’s not as driven by being cruel as she used to be.
“She still wants power, she’s still mean, but she’s not as determined to do it all alone…
“I love doing witchy stuff. A witch is a powerful, mysterious, terrifying and mischievous woman. That’s pretty badass, in my book.”

Kate Garraway reveals plans for first Christmas without Derek Draper

OHMYGOSSIP — Kate Garraway has admitted she hopes she won’t spend her first Christmas without husband Derek Draper “blubbing”.
The former political lobbyist died in January after a long battle with the effects of COVID and Kate is determined to make new memories with their children Darcey, 18 and Billy, 15, as they spend their first Christmas without him.
She told Woman and Home magazine: “This Christmas will be difficult, as all the firsts are, but I’ve said to the kids, ‘Let’s do what feels right, do some new things and make new memories.’ Maybe we’ll go to midnight mass on Christmas Eve? You’ve got to try and let things evolve into new memories, and I’m going to be led by them. It will be our first Christmas without Derek, but to be honest, the last four or five Christmases have been challenging, although we’ve also had the joy of having Derek there with us… I hope I won’t be blubbing all day, but I’m sure there will be emotional moments. However, I want it to be fun and happy for Darcey and Billy because it’s been a tough few years for them. Maybe they’ll think, ‘At least Dad’s out of pain’.”
Derek contracted COVID in March 2020 and spent 13 months in hospital after suffering multiple organ failure.
Kate revealed her sadness that he has missed many milestone moments in their children’s lives.
She said: “I was so sad that Derek wasn’t there to see that Darcey did better in her A levels than she thought she was going to. I thought, ‘You should be here – you’d be so proud.’ But I have to believe that he knows, and that he’s looking down and seeing all of it. My hopes for the kids’ future are that they can be happy, find something they feel passionate about – and occasionally put their laundry into the laundry bin!”

Nick Knowles underwent successful bicep reattachment surgery

OHMYGOSSIP — Nick Knowles is facing a “two or three month” recovery period after undergoing an operation to reattach his bicep.
The ‘DIY SOS’ presenter and his professional partner Luba Mushtuk became the third couple to leave the BBC show last weekend and he explained that he will have to undergo two procedures to be fit to dance at his wedding to partner Katie Dadzie next year after sustaining injuries to both his arm and knee during his time on the programme.
Nick’s first operation took place this week, and was successful, with the star updating his fans on his Instagram Story: “Just woken up from my op. All went well by all accounts so I have a reattached bicep now so bit of physio over the next two or three months and all should be right as rain and back to 100 per cent I think.”
However, he has a second knee op to go through yet.
He added: “That’s one down and another one to go on my knee.”
Speaking on ‘Strictly’ spin-off series ‘It Takes Two’ this week, Nick said of his elimination: “I think it was the right result in the end and it means I can get the various bits falling off sorted.
“I’m having an operation on my arm this week and an operation on my knee in a couple or three weeks.”
The 62-year-old star explained that Luba will be choreographing the first dance when he ties the knot with his fiancée Katie in 2025.
Nick told host Fleur East: “After I’ve had my operations I’m going to do some more training with Luba and I’ve got some important things to do like maybe next year join the ‘Strictly’ tour.
“But more importantly I’m getting married next year and Luba’s going to help choreograph the first dance.”
Luba, 34, added: “He always really wanted to do an Argentine Tango.”
Nick explained that he has discovered a love of dancing during his brief stint in the competition but was disappointed for his partner that they couldn’t go further into the series.
He said: “I fell in love with dancing.
“You don’t realise that Luba has worked out all these dances and I felt I’d let Luba down so I desperately wanted to do more.”

Rev Richard Coles set to take part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

OHMYGOSSIP — Rev. Richard Coles is reportedly set to take part in ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’.
The former Communards musician – who took party in ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ in 2017 – has been in talks with producers to head into the jungle for the ITV series, while Radio 1’s rising star Dean McCullough has also been negotiating a deal to fly to Australia for the show.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column: “As always, the jungle bosses have cleverly put together a sensational line-up guaranteed to make for compulsive viewing.
“Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth.
“Meanwhile, Dean isn’t known for being a shrinking violet and is sure to be outspoken — plus he’s one of the youngest men lined up for the show so far.”
The news comes days after it was claimed Coleen Rooney had signed a deal that would make her the show’s highest-paid contestant ever, eclipsing the £1.5 million fee that Reform leader Nigel Farage pocketed last year, and it comes amid her long-running feud with fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy.
A source told The Sun on Sunday newspaper: “’I’m A Celeb’ bosses have pulled off a huge coup getting Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are thrilled to have her on board.”
Coleen was unsuccessfully sued by Jamie Vardy’s wife Rebekah, 42, after she named her Instagram account as the source of leaks to the press and Rebekah was ordered to pay 90 per cent of Coleen’s legal costs – but the bill is being contested over claims it has been inflated by items including fancy dinners and stays in swanky hotels.
Rebekah was an approved follower of Coleen’s private Instagram page and Mrs Rooney was dubbed Wagatha Christie for her social media sleuthing, a reference to the legendary mystery author Agatha Christie.
Rebekah took part in the show herself in 2017 and received a reported fee of £100,000 to appear, but was the third contestant to be voted off before ‘Made in Chelsea’ star Georgia Toffolo was eventually named Queen of the Jungle.
Other celebrities tipped to take part in the show this year include ‘Loose Women’ panellist Jane Moore, ‘Coronation Street’ actor Alan Halsall, former ‘Love Island’ star Tommy Fury, ‘Dancing On Ice’ judge Oti Mabuse, and former ‘X Factor’ judge Tulisa Contostavlos.
A spokesman for ‘I’m a Celebrity…’ simply said: “We don’t comment on speculation.”

Chris Pratt cried over Electric State script

OHMYGOSSIP — Chris Pratt was “moved to tears” when he read the script for ‘Electric State’.
The 45-year-old actor had “100 percent” been planning to take a break from work until he was approached to star in directors Joe and Anthony Russo’s new Netflix film – which is based on Simon Stalenhag’s graphic novel and explores a battle between humans and AI – and he couldn’t turn down the hugely “original” project.
Speaking during a presentation for the movie at New York’s Comic Con, he said: “It’s not the kind of thing that typically gets made to be a blockbuster style movie like this. It’s so original, it’s a huge swing.
“I thought that these types of movies might be my last opportunity to be in a big movie like this. I have to look at every opportunity like that. And I did. It’s just such a great story. I was moved to tears reading.”
The movie follows Michelle (Millie Bobby Brown), a young woman with a sweet but mysterious robot who teams up with drifter Keats (Pratt) for a cross-country expedition to find her brother, and the ‘Stranger Things’ star thinks it is important for families to have escapist films they can watch together.
She said during the event: “It truly takes you on a journey. Escapism is huge, and I think it’s so lovely for families to have that moment where they’re able to take themselves out of this world that is so scary and put themselves into a world that is so transformative.”
Both stars found it challenging working with motion capture and other technology and were very grateful to the directors for guiding them through.
Millie said: “ I have a huge amount of gratitude to the Russos, but also the mocap actors and team that helped build the world so we didn’t have to do most of the work.”

Tom Holland and Zendaya ‘bounced around the room’ reading draft of Spider-Man 4 script

OHMYGOSSIP — Tom Holland and Zendaya have read a draft of the ‘Spider-Man 4’ script – but it still “needs work”.
The 28-year-old actor is set to reprise his titular role as the web-slinging superhero in the upcoming Marvel sequel alongside his real-life girlfriend, Zendaya – who plays Peter Parker’s girlfriend MJ – and he and the ‘Challengers’ star, also 28, were “bouncing around the room” with excitement when they read the draft.
Appearing on the ‘Rich Roll Podcast’, Tom noted: “One of the things to bear in mind with Marvel is that your film is a small cog in a large machine.
“And that machine has got to keep running. And you need to make sure you can fit into that timeline at the right time to benefit the bigger picture. That’s one of the challenges we’re facing. The time in which we need to get that done is a tall order but definitely achievable with the fantastic people we have working on it now.”
Tom admitted that the script “really lit a fire in me” – but acknowledged that they have a way to go before it’s finished.
He added: “It needs work, but the writers are doing a great job.
“I read it three weeks ago, and it really lit a fire in me. Zendaya and I sat down and read it together, and we at times were bouncing around the living room like, ‘This is a real movie worthy of the fans’ respect.’ But there’s a few things we need to figure out before we can get that really going, but it’s exciting.”
Destin Daniel Cretton is said to be taking over from Jon Watts as director for the instalment in the blockbuster franchise.
Insiders suggested filming will commence early next year, although it is not clear what the story will be after the 2021 flick ‘Spider-Man: No Way Home’ concluded with the world forgetting that Tom’s Peter Parker was Spider-Man after a memory wipe.
Destin is an established superhero director as his ‘Shang-Chi’ movie was well-received while he was also set to helm ‘Avengers: The Kang Dynasty’ but stepped away last year due to the picture’s changing production schedule.
Tom revealed earlier this year that he was desperate to return for more ‘Spider-Man’ movies because the superhero franchise had changed his life.
He told Deadline: “The simple answer is that I’ll always want to do more ‘Spider-Man’ films.
“I owe my life and career to ‘Spider-Man’. So the simple answer is yes. I’ll always want to do more.”
The ‘Uncharted’ actor revealed that there is a caveat as the plot for the fourth film would have to be right as he has “a legacy to protect” following the success of the trilogy he fronted.
Tom said: “We have the best in the business working toward whatever the story might be. But until we’ve cracked it, we have a legacy to protect. The third movie was so special in so many ways that we need to make sure we do the right thing.”

Rivals lined up for second series on Disney+

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Rivals’ is set to get a second series on Disney+.
The eight-part adaptation of Jilly Cooper’s raunchy novel was released on the streamer on Friday (18.10.24) and screenwriter Dominic Treadwell-Collins intentionally only reworked the first half of the book as he felt the show was worthy of a second run.
An insider told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “The feeling is that there is still so much more in the story that could easily be made into a sequel.
“Disney+ appear to be on board, even though they haven’t announced an official commission yet.
“Bosses at the streamer can see there is a huge amount of anticipation for this show, and having seen the episodes, they know it won’t disappoint.”
However, it is accepted they may have to wait as the cast – which includes David Tennant, Emily Atack and Danny Dyer – all have packed schedules.
The source said: “Going for a follow-up is a no-brainer, though these things take money and time, particularly as they have to try to align the very buys diaries of ‘Rivals’ star-studded cast.”
Emily portrays Sarah Stratton in the series and revealed that she was more “worried” about learning how to play tennis than stripping off as she brings one of the book’s most famous sequences to life alongside Alex Hassell in the role of Rupert Campbell-Black.
The 34-year-old actress told Metro.co.uk: “I was worried about [the tennis match]. I thought, ‘Oh God, am I gonna have to actually know how to play tennis?’ –
“Funny that was my worry, rather than the nudity.”
Emily explained that the nude scene “ended up being quite a liberating experience” and revealed that she was “so relaxed” during filming.
She laughed: “I remember I had the towel and the robe in between takes; but by the end of it, honestly, I couldn’t put my clothes on, I was just running around like, ‘Woo.’
“Sometimes you do become so relaxed that you are just sometimes sitting there with your knockers out, and you go, ‘Oh, right, okay, God, I’ve forgotten to put my robe on.’ ”

“I can’t wait to figure out who’s underneath all those incredible costumes, vibe to their performances, and get front-row seats to the unmaskings.
“I’ve watched the show for a long time, so I’m definitely bringing my A-game to the panel!”
‘The Masked Singer’ is set to return to screens in 2025.

OHMYGOSSIP — A documentary about Katie Price’s struggle with to have another baby is reportedly going to be shown on Channel 4.
The 46-year-old former glamour model – who is mum to five kids – recorded the film two years ago while she was going through IVF treatment with her former fiance Carl Woods in a bid to get pregnant with baby number six and now a new report suggest the documentary is finally going to air next year even though the couple parted ways back in 2023.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Katie is determined to show the raw and real side of IVF, and how it’s been a deeply personal struggle for her.
“Viewers will see her in hospital undergoing a procedure, and going for scans with her ex Carl Woods. It was all filmed before they split up.”

Carl recently told Closer magazine his ex remains keen to have another child. He said: “I don’t think she cares who she has a baby with, as long as she gets a baby. In that situation, it’s not about who – it doesn’t matter.”
Katie also opened up about her dream of becoming a mother again during an appearance on Olivia Attwood’s podcast ‘So Right It’s Wrong’.
When asked if she wants more children, Katie replied: “You’ll see a programme coming out about my IVF journey and it’s failed and failed, with the ex.
“People have got to realise that it doesn’t matter if I look young or I look younger – your body is still 46 and your eggs get less and as you get older it’s harder.”
Olivia then asked: “You definitely want another one?” and Katie replied: “Or two, it’s going to happen one way or the other – I don’t know how or when but I will try, I’m not giving up.”

X Factor host Dermot O’Leary pays tribute to ‘humble’ Liam Payne

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘X Factor’ presenter Dermot O’Leary has remembered Liam Payne as someone who “had time for everyone” following his passing aged 31.
The 51-year-old TV presenter was hosting the ITV talent show when Liam – who passed away after he fell from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires on Wednesday (16.10.24) – first auditioned for the programme as a 14 year old in 2008.
Dermot remembers Liam wowing judges Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh with a version of Frank Sinatra’s ‘Fly Me to the Moon’.
He wrote on Instagram: “The worst news. I remember him as a 14 year old turning up to audition on The X Factor, and blowing us away singing Sinatra. He just loved to sing.”
Liam first auditioned for ‘The X Factor’ in 2008 aged 14, but he lost out at the Judges’ Houses stage of the contest, and he was told by Simon to “come back in two years”.
He did just that and went on to be put into boy band One Direction alongside Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik.
‘This Morning’ presenter Dermot admitted Liam was “polite, grateful” and “always humble” whenever he spoke to him.
Dermot added: “He was always a joy, had time for everyone, polite, grateful, and was always humble.
Sending love and prayers to his family. Dx (sic)”
Former ‘X Factor’ contestant-turned-TV presenter Rylan Clark has described Liam’s death is “very tragic”.
He wrote on X: “Extremely sad news. V tragic and so young. RIP Liam x (sic)”
Like Liam, Union J band member Josh Cuthbert also shot to fame on ‘The X Factor’, and he remembers Liam for being “a great guy”.
He commented on Dermot’s post: “Just so awful mate. Cant believe it [broken-hearted emoji] I met him when we were on xfactor in 2012. Always a great guy.
I’ve said this before and I’m Not pointing any fingers or speculating here but all I’ll say is social media can be sooo dangerous. Anyone and everyone can say anything they want with no consequence or a second thought of the damage and pain they may cause a person. Why we can’t all be kinder to one another is so frustrating. The pain I have for Liams family (sic)”
Former ‘X Factor’ star Olly Murs wrote on Instagram: “This news is devastating, am lost for words. we always had a good laugh when we saw each other, sometimes the catch ups were only short and sweet but when we did it was mostly about how annoyingly good his hair always looked, or our love for Becks, the old XF days and the tour we shared together. Liam shared the same passions as me, the same dreams so to see his life now end so young hits hard, I’m truly gutted and devastated for his Family and of course his son Bear losing a dad x am thinking of them! RIP Liam (sic)”

David Corenswet ‘in talks to lead cast of NFL movie Mr Irrelevant’

OHMYGOSSIP — David Corenswet is in talks to star in a new NFL movie.
The 31-year-old actor – who will be the next star to play Superman in forthcoming DC Universe film ‘Superman: Legacy’ – looks set to be lining up his following project in the shape of Skydance Sports movie ‘Mr. Irrelevant’.
Sources told Deadline that Corenswet is in negotiations to lead the cast of the motion picture, which is based on the story of John Tuggle, who was the final pick in the last round of the 1983 NFL draft.
Tuggle was picked up by the New York Giants, and he went on to be awarded the New York Giants Special Teams Player of the Year.
Jonathan Levine is to direct the project, and he is also producing alongside Gillian Bohrer.
Nick Santora will also produce the film, as well as write the script.
Corenswet has recently been bulking up to take on the role of Superman/ Clark Kent, so much so he couldn’t fit into any of his pants at one stage.
During an appearance on the ‘Manly Things (Sort Of)’ podcast, Corenswet explained: “I wasn’t 238 [pounds] when we started shooting. I was 238 at my max.
“It was so awesome, I wanna go back. I put on like one of those crew neck sweatshirts … Champion. And I put on one of those sweatshirts – like an XL or double XL – and I was like, ‘I fill this out. This is amazing’. I didn’t fit into any of my pants.”
The actor explained he actually lost weight before shooting started, adding: “That was at the peak of my bulk. And then I slowly lost weight before we started shooting. I started shooting at about 228, 230 …
“I know I wanted this to be my excuse to see what it felt like to gain essentially as much weight as I could.”
However, he admitted he “didn’t feel great” at his heaviest because his body hadn’t adjusted to carrying so much extra weight.

Nicholas Hoult and Jude Law were kept apart on The Order set

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicholas Hoult and Jude Law were kept apart for the first few weeks while they were filming new thriller ‘The Order’.
The actors star in Justin Kurzel’s crime movie with Law playing an FBI agent named Terry Husk tasked with investigating a white supremacist group called the Order with Hoult playing the group’s leader Bob Mathews – and the pair were not allowed to meet until their filmed their first scene together to amp up the tension.
During a screening of the film in Los Angeles on Tuesday (15.10.24), Hoult told the audience: “We’d shot for three, maybe four, weeks before that [first meeting].
“It added to the energy on set, where I’d get a little buzz. The crew loved keeping us separate, and everyone was like, ‘Jude’s going over here. Keep Nick [away!]’ It got me all jazzed up.”
Law also spoke about the film – which is set in the 1980s and is based on a true story – and insisted the themes are just as relevant today.
He said: “It was a terrific script with so much potential: the relevance; the timely nature of the themes within it; the fact that, in many ways, it’s oddly a sort of origin of where we are now, which we thought was a good way of investigating it without being too heavy-handed.
“Then, of course, it is folded into a genre movie. And that was something, when we got our director Justin Kurzel onboard, that became really apparent.
“He was very clear that he wanted to lean into the genre of the thriller and the cat-and-mouse element, but really elevate it through character and through truth and storytelling.”
Speaking at a press conference at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday (31.08.24), Hoult previously revealed the actors were also given secret tasks by the director.
He explained: “I’ve never … prepared in this way before, where Justin gave us tasks. I just found out on the boat here [that] one of Jude’s tasks was to follow me for the day. I just found out. But he was trailing me for a day and I didn’t know about it.”
‘The Order’ is based on the book ‘The Silent Brotherhood’ Kevin Flynn and Gary Gerhardt which was released in 1989 and tells the story of a string of increasingly violent bank robberies as well as counterfeiting operations and armoured car heists that terrify frightens communities throughout the Pacific Northwest in 1983.
The film hits cinemas on December 6.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ore Oduba and his wife Portia Oduba have split after nearly nine years of marriage.
The former ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ winner – who married the TV researcher in November 2015 – took to social media to reveal he and Portia, who have son Roman, six, and three-year-old daughter Genie together, went their separate ways earlier this year.

“There’s a picture of me wailing, my best men there laughing and Portia absolutely cracking up next to me – I am the only one crying.”
In 2018, Ore admitted he wished he could’ve given birth to Roman for Portia.
Speaking on author Giovanna Fletcher’s ‘Happy Mum Happy Baby’ podcast, he said: “I was thinking on the way here, I was thinking if I could share some of that load and bear the child I would love to because I think it’s nice to have that empathy.
“The point I was going to say was the delivery of the child, I don’t think I have the strength to do it because when I, we were in the delivery room and Roman was being born, that whole period of Portia going into labour, I was blown away, absolutely blown away by the character, and the strength of character and the super human abilities.”

During his first day, KSI – who will be filling in for the week – posed for a selfie with the live crowd, using a filter to sport a pair of orange shades like Simon Cowell.
He wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “The audience in Blackpool are absolutely amazing and I’m really glad I’m part of the band.”
The 31-year-old social media star hopped up on stage during the auditions, and even joined a gymnastic performance.
It’s also said he hit his golden buzzer on the first day, but the exact nature of the act is yet to be revealed, with the episodes not airing until spring 2025.
Earlier this week, KSI joked he would be the nasty one on the panel.
KSI told ‘Capital’: “I’ve kicked Bruno out, and I’m taking his place! Actually, he’s coming back, but I’m there for a little bit. Yeah, it’s going to be fun, man. I’m going to judge some talent.
“Everyone thinks I’m going to be an evil judge, I’m going to be a villain – I’m going to just press the red button as soon as they walk out.
“I might do that every now and then, but I’m just going to have fun with it and we’ll just see what happens.”
KSI has joined regular judges Simon, Amanda Holden and Alesha Dixon on the panel and recently spoke of his excitement at the opportunity.
He said: “I’m so excited to be a guest judge for ‘BGT’. When I got the call up, I couldn’t believe it.
“I remember watching old ‘BGT’ episodes and going from being amazed to laughing my a*** off. I’m buzzing to see all the fresh new talent, and I’ll be sure to leave a mark.”
