OHMYGOSSIP — Jamie Dornan is to return for a second series of ‘The Tourist’.
The next season of the hotly-anticipated programme will go into production in Dublin, Ireland, in April, and Jamie “can’t wait” for viewers to see how the tale progresses.
He said: “I’m incredibly excited to continue the story with ‘The Tourist’.
“Harry and Jack Williams are brilliant writers, and I can’t wait for audiences to see how well Ireland and its characters are utilised to keep them guessing as the tale progresses.”
Jamie will once again play Elliot, who, in the first series, woke up in an Australian hospital with amnesia following a car crash.
The star’s character will head to his native Ireland in the second series, but there are dangerous consequences.
Danielle Macdonald – who will be back as Helen Chambers – said: “I’m so excited to team up with Jamie again and return for another wild adventure with an amazing cast and crew.
“Jack and Harry Williams are brilliant story tellers and it’s exciting to see what their minds will come up with next.”
Writers Harry and Jack Williams – who are best known for creating BBC drama ‘The Missing’ and the show’s spin-off ‘Baptiste’ – added: “’The Tourist’ was unlike anything we’d written before and we’re hugely grateful for the incredible response to series one.
“It’s been an exciting journey getting stuck into that world again with the quirky characters that were so loved, and seeing where we could take them next, whilst continuing to deliver a tonally unique and off-beat drama.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Samantha Fox is to star on ‘Celebrity MasterChef’.
The 56-year-old model is expected to be one of the stars who will attempt to wow judges Greg Wallace and John Torode on the celebrity edition of the BBC One cookery competition.
According to The Sun newspaper’s TV Biz column, news of the 56-year-old model’s stint on the culinary contest comes as it is revealed she is to drop new music, and be part of an ITV documentary series.
Sam told the podcast ‘A Journey Through SAW’: “There is going to be a series for ITV and then it’s going to be sold to Netflix next year. I’ve just finished an album.
“That’s going to be real pop and real dance. The album is just so uplifting, it’s fantastic.”
Recently, the ‘Touch Me’ hitmaker revealed she was unable to create new music as she was in a very “sad place” after the death of her ex Myra Stratton, who died in 2015.
Sam – who has since tied the knot with Linda Olsen, 50 – said: “When my my ex-partner died, I was with her for 16 years and that’s a long, long time.
“For two years, I couldn’t write a lyric. I just couldn’t write because everything I was writing was very sad and I didn’t want to show people I was in that sad place.
“It was very hard for me to actually release anything at that time and go on stage and pretend to be happy. I was quite sad but time is a healer and then I met Linda.
“I didn’t think at that age, I’d ever meet someone again I was going to settle down with for the rest of my life and I have and I’m in such a great place.
“You get to your 50s and you lose the, you know, Myra was the love of my life and we were together 16 years and I didn’t ever think I was going to be with anybody else.
“I thought that was my life mapped out. So when I met Linda and I fell in love, it was instant love when we met each other. It really was and I’m just so happy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Night Manager’ is returning for a second season.
Tom Hiddleston, 42, is tipped to reprise his role as luxury resort night manager Jonathan Pine, in the follow-up to the TV adaption of the John Le Carre novel.
According to Deadline, the project – which has the codename ‘Steelworks’ and has original writer Dan Farr attached to – is set to film later this year across London and South America but has not yet been given the official go-ahead from Amazon and the BBC. When it does, it is expected to get a two-series order.
Speculation about another series has circulated since the end of the first in 2016, which featured Hugh Laurie as arms dealer Richard Roper, who was kidnapped by the Syrians at its conclusion.
It also starred many other famous faces like Olivia Colman, Tom Hollander, Elizabeth Debicki and David Harewood, scooped up two Emmys and three Golden Globes and inspired a string of other Le Carre projects like 2018’s ‘The Little Drummer Girl’ with Florence Pugh from The Ink Project, which is run by the sons of the late author – who died in December 2020 aged 89 – Simon and Stephen Cornwall.
Since starring in the series seven years ago, Tom has been involved in a number of Hollywood blockbusters – such as continuing his role as Loki in the Marvel adaption of ‘Thor’ – and announced his engagement to actress Zawe Ashton, the mother of his four-month-old baby, a relationship he has made effort to keep “private
In 2017, he said: “I love what I do, and I dedicate myself with absolute commitment to making great art and great entertainment and in my mind, I don’t conflict the two. My work is in the public sphere and I have a private life. And those two things are separate.”

Posting shortly after the four stars revealed ‘Neighbours’ would be coming back in a promotional video, Georgie wrote on Instagram: “Thanks for all the DMs! Only found out Neighbours was returning when you all did, so I have no idea if I’m coming back! But thanks for asking and wanting more of Mackenzie.”
And while April Rose Pengilly admitted news the show has been saved is “very exciting”, she had no idea if she would be heading back to Erinsborough.
She commented: “Before you all start asking me about the Neighbours news that just dropped. I/most of us don’t know anything about it and are finding out at the same time as you, so don’t have any info for you, sorry! Very exciting news for you all, though.(sic)”
She then shared the announcement video and said: “This is all the info I have for you so please stop DMing me haha.(sic)”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Make Me Prime Minister’ has reportedly been cancelled by Channel 4.
The reality TV show – which appeared on screens last year just after Boris Johnson left Downing Street and was briefly replaced by Liz Truss and current PM Rishi Sunak – has been axed after one series despite significant political buzz at the time.
A source told The Sun newspaper’s TVBiz column: “There was a sense that after having three prime ministers in just five weeks, the country had had enough jostling to reach the top of the greasy pole.
“With a concept that had never been seen before, the programme was always something of a TV experiment which could have been a success or a flop.
“But trailblazing Channel 4 are never afraid to risk failure and try out a new idea.”
The show – which drew some comparisons to ‘The Apprentice’ – was launched to find the nation’s best “alternative” leader, and saw 12 contestants taking on various tasks to assess their potential.
The likes of local government official and viral star Jackie Weaver appeared alongside side DJ and actor Goldie’s son Danny Price, with former Conservative cabinet minister Baroness Warsi appearing alongside journalist and former Labour politician Alastair Campbell.
Former prime ministers Tony Blair and David Cameron were both featured in cameo roles.
The series – which aired weekly for six episode until the finale in November 2022 – was won by medical communications director Natalie Balmain.
Equality and diversity inclusion manager Kelly Given finished as runner-up and former footballer and sports agent Holly Horgan joining them in the final.
Speaking before the show’s launch, Campbell commented: “Done properly, being Prime Minister is about a tough a job as anyone can do.
“It is great that so many people think they can do it and I am looking forward to working with Sayeeda Warsi to guide and challenge them to see if they really have what it takes.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Julie Walters has been forced to quit ‘Truelove’ due to poor health.
The 73-year-old actress was set to play Phil in the upcoming Channel 4 drama but the project was paused last year as she suffered from severe back pain, and now it’s confirmed she won’t be returning when filming resumes in Bristol later this year.
In a statement, Clerkenwell Films told Deadline: “Last year, filming on Truelove was paused while Julie Walters sought medical advice and attention for severe back pain.
“Subsequently, Julie has decided to step back from the project to focus on her recovery and recuperation, and so will not be returning to the role of Phil.
“We wholeheartedly support her decision, and the entire cast, crew and production team wish her the very best and a speedy recovery.”
She will be replaced in the show by Lindsay Duncan, who described the character as an “intelligent, tough and complex woman”.
She added: “It’s so well written, exploring what we face when age becomes a factor.”
In the drama, Phil and Ken (Clarke Peters) are recently retired childhood sweethearts who reconnected in the 70s after decades apart from each other.
They meet at a funeral with a group of friends and discuss what an “ideal” death could be, and decide to make a drunken agreement to ensure a dignified death for one another.
Clerkenwell Films continued: “We are delighted that Lindsay Duncan will be stepping into the role of Phil.
“We’re excited to see what she brings to this complex and captivating character when we restart filming later this year.”
The role would have been Julie’s first acting job in six years, and when her casting was initially announced she admitted at one time she didn’t expect to ever return to the screen.
She said: “I had basically withdrawn from acting and wasn’t sure that anything could tempt me back but then I read Truelove.
“I was completely bowled over by the writing – the dark humour, the love story and the thriller element set against a backdrop of what happens to us all as we approach our later years.
“I adore the character of Phil – smart, funny and hard-edge, how often does one have the chance at my tender age to play a leading lady in a TV drama?”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Traitors’ will not introduce celebrity contestants for season two.
The hit BBC reality show – which is hosted by Claudia Winkleman – saw 22 contestants completing a range of challenges as they tried to find the traitors hiding among the faithful, and some fans had been concerned bosses would tweak the format after it was commissioned for a second run.
However, the broadcaster has told RadioTimes.com that the programme won’t be following the lead of the US version, which saw ordinary people mixed in with famous faces.
Instead, they will stick with the formula which saw them bring together a diverse lineup of people with memorable personalities.
This week, the BBC confirmed Claudia will be back to front the nail-biting psychological reality competition, which sees 22 strangers play the game of detection, backstabbing and trust in a bid to win £120,000.
She said: “I can’t wait to go back to the castle to watch people play the greatest game on television. I’m knitting a high funnel sweater immediately.”
In series one – which was filmed at a Scottish castle, and has been watched 34 million times on BBC iPlayer – three Faithfuls, Aaron, Hannah and Meryl, outsmarted the Traitors and took home a third each of the £101,050 prize pot.
Kalpna Patel-Knight, Head of Entertainment at the BBC, said: “Last year’s ambitious and bingeable hit ‘The Traitors’ with Claudia Winkleman is coming back with the brilliant team at Studio Lambert set to bring viewers another magnificent series full of drama and suspense.
“We can certainly expect even more deceit and psychological games for the Traitors and Faithfuls.”
The BBC is currently looking for applicants to appear in the second series of the show.

OHMYGOSSIP — Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse have signed up for two more series of ‘Gone Fishing’.
The BBC Two programme follows the ex ‘Shooting Stars’ comedian, 63, and the ‘Fast Show’ alum, 64, as they take it easy and discuss life while angling around the Great British countryside.
The show’s official Twitter posted: “We’re coming back, again and again.”
According to reports, the first of the newly ordered installments will arrive on screens later this year and the other will come sometime in 2024.
As quoted by the Daily Star newspaper, commissioning editor Max Gogarty added: “We are delighted ‘Gone Fishing’ will be coming back.
“This show brings a huge amount of joy, catharsis and escapism to millions each week, and we’re thrilled the boys will be back.”
Some of the destinations they will explore have already been shared as they touch on all four of the UK’s home nations, with locations including the country’s oldest pub, while they will also set up camp next to a lake brimming with carp.
Fan favourite pooch Ted – who often appears alongside Bob and Paul – will celebrate a birthday on the show as they drop their lines in spots from Wales, Shropshire, Wiltshire, the Scottish Borders and Devon.
During their last Christmas special, the pair travelled all the way to Norway to test some Scandi waters.
Along with this beloved series, Paul has been treading the boards in the West End musical version of ‘Only Fools and Horses’ and Bob has been working on other projects like ‘The Glove’, a comedy film with his long time collaborator Vic Reeves that has been in production since 2018.
A description for the flick reads: “‘The Glove’ is a comedy road movie about two best friends in search of a mythical training glove. Vic and Bob are childhood friends who own a junk shop together where they both work and live. Profits are down and with their futures in jeopardy, they approach their obnoxious landlord to explain their ‘rent’ problems.
“Rather than helping them, the unsavoury character gives them a choice: eviction, or locate for him a rare and unusual item… What follows is a madcap road movie across Britain as they enter the world of strange collectables and celebrity memorabilia in search of the elusive glove.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jordan North has a “got a plan” to host the BBC Radio 1’s breakfast show.
The ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!’ alum – who already presents the Drivetime slot with co-host Vick Hope – is gunning for the the gig despite the show currently being helmed by his “best mate” Greg James.
The 33-year-old star told The Sun newspaper’s Bizarre column: “Being on the radio really is a privilege. It genuinely is the best job in the world. There isn’t a day I go on air with Vick and we don’t have a laugh.
“Yeah, I’ve got a plan, I do want to do the breakfast show. Not right now as Greg is my best mate and he is absolutely smashing it, but I do want to do breakfast one day.
“It’s always going to be in the back of your mind that one day you are going to have to leave, that you won’t be in the job forever. You would be stupid to think you are fine and you have years left, as you might not get your contract renewed.”
Jordan added that he was “really happy” with his current job, which he has had since 2021 after serving as a stand-in for former hosts Nick Grimshaw and Scott Mills since 2014.
In 2021, when it was announced he would be joining Vick full time, he said: “I am absolutely chuffed to be making the move over to Radio 1 daytime and even happier to be working alongside Vick.”
Recently, the ‘Go Hard or Go Home’ presenter was forced to apologise after making a sweary gaffe when discussing the nation’s preference when it comes to bedding.
Jordan accidentally said: “For me, it’s fitted s****,” before quickly acknowledging the on-air gaffe.
He instantly apologised, saying: Oh god, sorry, sorry , I apologise, I am so sorry. I meant to say sheets.”
Vick saw the funny side, adding: “There really annoying.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jonathan Ross is “glad” he has never interviewed a member of the Royal Family
The ‘Masked Singer’ judge and talk show host is keen to not “get involved” with all their drama but has nothing but nice things about the royals, having “met them all”.
The 62-year-old star told the Metro newspaper’s Sixty Seconds column: “I’ve never interviewed anyone in the royal family and at the moment I’m quite glad that’s the case. I don’t want to get involved in other people’s business. I’ve met them all, though.
“I met the Queen several times, which always felt very special. Prince Philip was always quite funny. I think I met Harry briefly. I’ve met William a lot. I haven’t met Kate. I have met Andrew but we don’t talk about that any more. Charles I’ve met loads of times, and Camilla is a laugh.”
Meanwhile, Jonathan also has no interest interviewing the disgraced former health secretary Matt Hancock despite his stint on ‘I’m A Celebrity.. Get Me Out of Here’.
He said: “To be honest, I didn’t veto him. I wouldn’t want him on because he hasn’t done anything of worth to talk to him about. There are very few politicians I have much respect for.
“It does seem we’re not in a strong place ideologically or politically. We had Boris on when he denied he wanted to run for prime minister years ago, and we all knew it was bulls***. Of course you do. We’re in a time where people lie brazenly.
“My one guideline when we’re booking people is can they at least be good at what they do?”
And the ‘Jonathan Ross Show’ host admitted he was once caught “dozing off” by the ‘Celebrity Gogglebox’ team when he was filming with his wife Jane Goldman, 52, and his kids, Honey Kinny, 26, Betty Kitten, 31, and Harvey Kirby, 29.
Jonathan said: “They were speaking a lot but you heard me more in the edit and I wish they’d used their stuff more. On one show, it was very hot and the producer said, ‘We’re just gonna open a window.’ I realised it was because I was dozing off a lot!”
