OHMYGOSSIP — ‘You’ve Been Framed!’ has reportedly been cancelled by ITV.
The long running clip show – which was originally fronted by Jeremy Beadle when it launched in 1990 while Harry Hill has served as narrator since 2004 – saw members of the public send in videos of their own surprising mishaps for the enjoyment of viewers.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “The fact that ‘You’ve Been Framed’ has been shelved is a sad sign of the times.
“It’s a different world to Jeremy Beadle’s heyday. Why would viewers tune in to a show featuring funny videos when they could see the same sort of thing on the internet?
“Silly clips are hugely popular on social media and the right video can go viral. There’s a thrill in achieving that — even though you don’t earn the £250 fee which ‘You’ve Been Framed’ paid for contributions.”
The most recent episode aired in August 2022 with Harry at the helm, having voiced 341 of the show’s 701 episodes over the past 33 years.
Former ‘Emmerdale’ star Lisa Riley replaced Jeremy in 1998 before Jonathan Wilkes took over for just one series in 2003.
‘You’ve Been Framed’ has been removed from the ITV website, while repeats shown on Sunday had scrapped the part of the programme which invited viewers to send in their videos in return for the £250 payment.
Although the show was relatively inexpensive and simple to make, it took a while to put together because the videos needed to be vetted by bosses, with acts of deliberate violence and injury banned alongside obviously set-up shots.
Meanwhile, Harry previously revealed: “I don’t get to see the long list but I know there are a lot of fakes — and a lot of sex videos.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘The Real Full Monty’ is set to return with a brand new “twist”.
The ITV reality TV show – which sees famous faces strip off to raise awareness of cancer – hasn’t been on screens since 2021, but it is said to be making a comeback, with host Ashley Banjo also reportedly returning.
One series saw stars go one step further by stripping while ice skating, while the most recent season had a ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ theme, but producers want to go one step further.
An insider told The Sun newspaper: “This show proved hugely popular with viewers because it raised a laugh while shining a spotlight on serious subjects.
“In previous years producers have tried to put a twist on the overall theme and this year is likely to be no exception.
“The celebrities, who’ve yet to be revealed, will face a nervous wait to find out if that twist is likely to add even more pressure.”
The likes of ‘Loose Women’ panellist Coleen Nolan, Blue singer Duncan James, ‘EastEnders’ legend Laila Morse and ‘Love Island’ star Teddy Soares have appeared on the show.
Duncan paid tribute to late Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding on ‘Strictly The Real Full Monty’.
The ‘All Rise’ hitmaker took part in memory of his late friend – who tragically died aged 39 of breast cancer in September 2021 – and previously opened up on his decision to strip off for the programme to encourage others to get checked out.
He said: “A lot of my friends from the music industry have suffered with breast cancer, and one of those friends, Sarah Harding, sadly lost her battle this year.
“Sarah was always such a bubbly girl, full of life, full of fun, biggest smile, and to hear the news that she’d lost the battle – it was just heartbreaking.”

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Two Doors Down’ is moving to BBC One for its seventh series.
The sitcom – which follows the antics of a Scottish suburban cul de sac and stars Elaine C Smith, Arabella Weir, Jamie Quinn, Alex Norton and Graeme Stevely – will air nationally for the first time on primetime across the UK after running on BBC Scotland for the first six seasons.
The smash hit attracted 2.8 million viewers for its latest festive edition across all forms – including iPlayer – in the first 30 days, representing the highest audience ever since its 2013 debut.
Before this, its most recent season – which took fans back to Dumbarton – kicked off in November and saw Siobhan Redmond appear as Anne-Marie, the new love interest of Colin after Doon Mackichan, who played his diva girlfriend, departed the show.
Gregor Sharp and Simon Carlyle, the show’s creators, said: “We’re excited to be spreading our wings and lowering the tone as we introduce BBC One audiences to life in Latimer Crescent.”
Josh Cole, the BBC’s comedy boss and Steven Canny, an executive producer at BBC Studios added: “We couldn’t be more proud of the success story that is ‘Two Doors Down’.
“It’s an absolute joy to work on and loved by a large loyal fanbase that have embraced these families and neighbours as though their own over the years! We can’t wait to get going on series seven and look forward to the move to BBC One.”
The public broadcaster’s Director of Comedy Commissioning Jon Petrie said: “Two Doors Down continues on its understated march towards classic BBC sitcom status with the last series pulling in some of its highest viewing figures to date.
“We’re delighted to be doing more and are excited to see the show move to BBC One for a whole new legion of fans to enjoy.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicola Coughlan has been cast in new comedy ‘Big Mood’.
The ‘Bridgerton’ actress will join ‘It’s A Sin’ star Lydia West, 29, in the Channel 4 six-part series written and created by Camilla Whitehill – which will be directed by Rebecca Asher (‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’), and Nicola’s own friendship with Camilla has influenced the script.
The 36-year-old actress told Variety magazine: “We met like a million years ago at drama school in Oxford. She was training to be an actor. And then when we left drama school, we were both in various states of not working and everything being a bit crap.
“And she was like, ‘I’m not gonna be an actor, I want to write.’ I went to see her first short play night and she was just – she’s always been insanely funny.
“But then, when I saw it, I was like, ‘Oh, she’s gonna be a famous writer’. But our 20s were like the struggle bus. And then the fact now the show is happening… I’ve always wanted to work with her. And then for Lydia to be part of it is the biggest dream.”
The show is tipped as “a vivacious and rebellious portrayal of female friendship when infiltrated by the complexities of a serious mental illness”.
It follows two pals Maggie and Eddie – played by Nicola and Lydia respectively – who spent their 20s in a somewhat co-dependent friendship but heading towards their 30s they share the same worries for mental health and potentially outgrowing friendships.
The ex ‘Derry Girls’ star recently revealed her ‘Bridgerton’ character Penelope Featherington will “finally becomes a woman in season three and comes into herself” as Nicola gears up to take the spotlight alongside her on-screen love interest, Colin Bridgerton, played by Luke Newton.

OHMYGOSSIP — Ekin-Su Culculoglu has been warned to stop posting photos on holiday after an attempted burglary on her house.
The ‘Love Island’ star and her partner Davide Sanclimenti – with whom she won the reality show last summer – were enjoying an exotic getaway in the Maldives when men dressed as maintenance workers allegedly tried to break into their £5,000 a month apartment in East London.
Sharing surveillance footage on Instagram, Davide wrote: “Stay far away from our house motherf******. Police is after you. (sic)”
As reported by the Daily Mirror newspaper, the security team at the riverside apartment block – where the couple moved in November 2022 – alerted them to the incident, while the man didn’t get inside the property.
The couple have continued to update their social medial followers on their trip since the alleged break-in attempt.
An insider told the outlet: “They’ve been advised to be wary of posting any social media content from holidays until they’re back home.
“But they’re young and excited to be on glamorous trips. Social media content is also a huge part of their jobs.”
Meanwhile Davide, 27, was recently forced to address rumours his relationship with Ekin-Su, 27, is a “showmance” because of how little they post on social media together.
He said: “I read a comment saying we were fake because we barely post on social media together.
“But I’m just not a social media person. I don’t blame people – they only know us for what they have seen. But those who have seen us in real life cannot believe anyone would think we are fake.
“Luca [Bish, runner-up on ‘Love Island’] mentioned how we were such a lovely couple. And [fellow Islander] Dami Hope said the same. That’s why we don’t care about those kinds of comments.”
Meanwhile, former ‘Dancing on Ice’ contestant Ekin-Su explained that their relationship is not “for the world” and compared their stance on social media to that of other celebrity couples such as Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright, and fellow ‘Love Island’ stars Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury.
In the joint interview, she added: “We don’t want everyone to know everything. Our relationship is between two people, not the world. We don’t need to prove to anyone that we are real.”

OHMYGOSSIP — BBC has announced a new Agatha Christie adaptation ‘Murder Is Easy’.
The broadcaster has unveiled plans for a two-part thriller based on the iconic author’s classic novel, and it will be adapted for the small screen by Sian Ejiwunmi-Le Berre.
Filming is set to get underway this summer with Meena Gaur directing, and it will air on BBC One and iPlayer in a co-commission with BritBox International.
In a statement, Ejiwunmi-Le Berre said: “I’ve watched every Agatha Christie adaptation out, because Christie wrote for the world and the whole world loves her back.
“But somehow I’d never read one of her novels. When I first read Murder is Easy, I couldn’t believe how daring, experimental and furious the book was. Nothing like I’d expected.
“From the first read, the book was shouting at me how to enter and adapt it, and what’s so exciting is having everyone at Mammoth Screen and [Agatha Christie Limited] jump right in there with me.
“It’s like going on an extended train journey with a genius sat next to you, whispering the secrets of storytelling into your ear.”
The story is set in England, 1954 when – on a train to London – “a man going by the name of Luke Fitzwilliam meets Miss Pinkerton, who tells him that a killer is on the loose in the sleepy English village of Wychwood under Ashe”.
In a press release, the BBC added: “The villagers believe the deaths are mere accidents, but Miss Pinkerton knows otherwise – and when she’s later found dead on her way to Scotland Yard, Luke feels he must find the killer before they can strike again.
“Because for a certain kind of person, murder is easy…”
Casting will be announced in due course.
James Prichard, executive producer for Agatha Christie Limited, added: “This is one of my great grandmother’s best and most disconcerting titles. Of course, murder isn’t easy. Or is it if you live in a traditional unsuspecting English village?”
And Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, commented “Agatha Christie on the BBC has become a classic combination, and in ‘Murder is Easy’ we have one of the Queen of Crime’s finest page-turners in a new adaptation that both speaks to us today and honours her incredible talent for brilliantly entertaining, skilfully told mystery.
“BBC One and iPlayer viewers will be gripped.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Grant “felt super human” after winning ‘SAS: Who Dares Wins’.
He joined fellow recruits Joshua and Hilary in making the cut after Faye missed out in the final episode of the Channel 4 military endurance challenge show’s eighth season on Tuesday night (21.02.23).
He said: “As a civilian taking on Special Forces tasks and challenges, I felt super human! I felt like a new man… I feel proud.”
Joshua added: “It’s an amazing, indescribable feeling. I had a once in a lifetime opportunity and I’m very proud of my achievement! I was buzzing, to say the least, and just glad I dug deep to see it through to the end.”
Hilary also said: “It feels so so amazing, so liberating and so satisfying to have made it through. I would never have thought I would get this far at all.
“I definitely left there a changed person, not just for a while but forever. I feel so empowered and honoured to say that I have completed something like that.”
Mark ‘Billy’ Billingham – who presented the six-part series with help from fellow veterans Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox, Rudy Reyes and Chris Oliver – congratulated the trio for making it through the “tough f****** course”.
He said: “Take a breath, relax, it’s been a tough f****** course, so it’s a massive achievement for all of you right now standing in front of us.
“The question we always ask is – could we have that person stood next to us? Number seven (Faye), the answer was no, but for the remainder of you – congratulations, good effort you’ve all passed the selection process.
“Well done! F****** good effort! Congratulations to all of you – it’s a massive achievement.”
The next edition of the show is ‘Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins’ – which is hosted by Rudy – and features former ‘I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’ star and ex health minster Matt Hancock.

OHMYGOSSIP — BBC, Netflix and ITV are banning corsets in costume dramas.
The tightly bound bodices have been a long time fixture in TV shows such as ‘Bridgerton’, ‘Downton Abbey’ and ‘Jane Eyre’ as reference to a time when there was pressure to have tiny waists.
However, The Sun newspaper reports that TV bosses are now concerned about the health effects for actresses wearing them for up to 14 hours a day on set.
It’s said ‘Bridgerton’ producers have told the cast of the Netflix show that they don’t have to use them.
ITV has joined in the boycott, and the BBC is also expected to follow suit.
An insider said: “Many stars have reported bruising and even breathing problems.”
Michelle Dockery – who plays Lady Mary Crawley in the ‘Downton Abbey’ series and movies – previously opened up about her delight when the franchise moved into the 1920s, which meant she and her cast mates could get out of the corsets and start eating a proper lunch without being “in pain”.
She said: “We could actually eat our lunches without being sort of in pain by the afternoon, and being able to eat a full meal as opposed to like being wary of how much we would feel bloated in this corset.
“So we were so relieved to get out of them.
“Yes, so it really sort of freed us up. I loved moving into the Twenties, that was my favourite.”
Meanwhile, Simone Ashley – who plays Kate Sharma in ‘Bridgerton’ – revealed that wearing a corset on the show has changed her figure.
The actress – who also starred as Olivia Hanan in ‘Sex Education’ – explained: “With ‘Bridgerton’, it’s much more intense than ‘Sex Education’ in the sense that if I’m not filming, I’m horse riding, training or in rehearsals. I’m in accent training or I’m in a fitting.
“I’ve never really worn a corset before, so that took some getting used to! My body definitely changed a little bit wearing it and that kind of changed my posture a lot to suit the era. Horse riding … I’ve never really ridden before.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kathy Burke is making a documentary about old age, ‘Growing Up’.
The former ‘Gimme, Gimme, Gimme’ star got her old showbiz pals like Jennifer Saunders, Bill Bailey and Charlotte Church and a whole host of experts to get to grips with the reality of getting on in later years for a new Channel 4 programme.
The 58-year-old comedian told the Daily Mirror newspaper’s Square Eyes column: “My motivation for presenting a documentary about age is that it’s a subject we’re all fascinated about. Were our school days the best years of our lives? What do the younger generation think of us old-timers and is youth really wasted on the young?”
Kathy thought it was “great” to meet loads of different people for the two-parter – which will air on March 7 and 8 – and even picked up some things for her own life.
She said: “It was great meeting people of all ages and walks of life to ponder these questions. It also gave me tips on how to deal with my own approaching older age, which isn’t as gloomy as I thought.”
In December, the ‘Kevin and Perry Go Large’ star opened up about the menopause contributing to her having “pretty dark suicidal thoughts” but is “f****** delighted” that she made it through them.
Kathy said: “I started to have pretty dark suicidal thoughts. I’ve always had bouts of depression, but this was something else entirely. I don’t mind telling you that it was quite frightening, how I felt.”
She added: “Oh but I’m so glad I didn’t kill myself during menopause. Because that would have been, ‘Well, she killed herself because she was so miserable.’ You know? And to end feeling miserable? That would have been a bit of a shame. But listen, that didn’t happen. I came through the other side, and I’m f****** delighted I did.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kris Marshall says Ruth Madoc is “wonderful” in ‘Beyond Paradise’.
The 49-year-old actor – who is reprising his role as DI Humphrey Goodman in the BBC’s upcoming ‘Death In Paradise’ spin-off – has praised the late ‘Hi-de-Hi’ actress after she died aged 79 following surgery for a fall in December, and the show will mark her final TV appearance.
He told the Metro newspaper: “I grew up watching ‘Hi-de-Hi’ with my family when I was young. We used to light a fire and toast crumpets watching it, which does sound a bit twee but it’s true.
“Ruth’s relationship with the actor Simon Cadell was so integral to that show. It’s a tragedy what happened but she is wonderful in this.”
Kris is excited to return as Humphrey for the BBC One show alongside Sally Bretton as Martha Lloyd, swapping the Caribbean for the fictional town of Shipton Abbott in Devon.
Reflecting on the change of scenery, the actor teased: “The puzzles are very ‘south-westerly.’ The crimes are uniquely of that area. The first episode has this haunted puzzle.
“We’ve got a family that just disappears off the face of the earth, an art theft which is like a caper, a man who is seemingly abducted by aliens found dead in the middle of a crop circle and an arsonist who is obsessed with the story of the Three Little Pigs.”
Meanwhile, the on screen couple find themselves in an “interesting dynamic” as adjust to life in a the spare room of Martha’s mum Anne’s small cottage.
She added: “It’s an interesting dynamic. It’s small and you’re back home in the back bedroom.
“There is that feeling of your grown-up self and your child self all in the same place at the same time. That’s difficult to navigate.”
‘Beyond Paradise’ stars on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Friday (24.02.23).
