BBC The One Show host rejects Celebrity Gladiators role 'I've got a mortgage to pay'
BBC The One Show host rejects Celebrity Gladiators role 'I've got a mortgage to pay' The TV star insisted she wouldn't risk injury on the thrilling BBC competition when probed by host Bradley Walsh. The One Show presenter Angellica Bell has declined an invitation to appear on Celebrity Gladiators, despite a personal request. The celebrity version of the much-loved BBC show made its debut last year, featuring Louise Minchin, Joel Dommett, Rob Becket and Ellie Taylor. This followed the revival of Gladiators by the BBC, marking the first time the series had been aired since its original run on ITV in 2000, showcasing a new group of superhumans demonstrating their speed, skill, stamina and strength. Bradley Walsh and his son Barney took over presenting duties from Ulrika Jonsson for the new series, and are set to return to the arena for its third season this year.

Joe enthused: "Gladiators is one of the most iconic shows of all time, and I'm absolutely buzzing to be taking part.

Rob Beckett, Joel Dommett, Ellie Taylor and Louise Minchin took part in the first Celebrity Gladiators (Image: PA) Sam chimed in: "Just when I've finished one challenge I'm onto the next, and this time I'm up against real life Gladiators! Bring it on and get me up that travelator! But on a serious note, I genuinely can't wait to take part, I'm so excited. I grew up watching the show, so to now be taking on the Gladiators in real life is really cool."

I may be a champion in the boxing ring, but this is different. I'm ready to give it everything I've got!" And Vogue shared: "This is wild. I have loved this show since I was little and I'll be living out my childhood dream just stepping into the arena. But I can't quite process how I'll actually face these amazing Gladiators. I'm just delighted to be a contender!" The One Show airs weekdays from 7pm on BBC One and iPlayer. Gladiators returns to BBC soon.

EastEnders confirms Sharon Watts' return in explosive new trailer - and she's not alone
EastEnders has sent fans wild with a new trailer confirming two legendary characters will be back on the Square very soon as they tease plenty of drama ahead... BBC has sent fans wild with a new EastEnders trailer, which confirms the return of two legendary characters. Viewers have been questioning when Sharon Watts (Letitia Dean) would be making a return to the soap after she left before Martin Fowler's funeral. Leaving off screen, it was announced that she had gone off to visit Michelle in Australia, after struggling with the aftermath of Martin's death. Now, a rare trailer has confirmed Sharon will be back on screens soon, as well as Zoe Slater (Michelle Ryan). Zoe made her shock return to the soap earlier this year during Ben Wadey's debut episode, but quickly fled to Barcelona after a close run in with mother Kat. Alfie then went off to try to find her, but unfortunately failed. It looks like she'll be making her return to Albert Square soon, however, and fans can't wait. In the trailer, Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) can be seen applying her signature red lipstick in the mirror, as her daughter Zoe can be seen getting out of a black cab. Halfway through, a small clip of Sharon standing under an umbrella with Patrick appears, as well as another with Freddie and Stacey standing laughing together. The drama picks up by the end of the snippet, as Kat and Zoe finally come face to face - leaving Kat looking stunned. The exact date of the pair's return hasn't been confirmed yet, but with a trailer being released, we can expect it to be very soon. Fans are overjoyed to see the duo back on the Square, as they took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to celebrate. "so much to unpack here, Zoe, SHARON, cinematic trailers being back," penned one excited fan. "Kat and Zoe!! and Sharon's back!!!" exclaimed another, while another nostalgic fan said: "Omg an Eastenders trailer are we in 2008!!!" "The return of Sharon's 2018 weave omg!!" said another, noticing her new hairstyle. "Flawless classic Eastenders trailer. The best show on television is back!!!" another tweet read. As well as Sharon and Zoe's return, the BBC soap have confirmed the return of a handful of other legendary characters. Max Branning, Ben Mitchell, Stuart Highway and Anthony Trueman will all be making their way back to the Square anytime soon... EastEnders airs Mondays to Thursdays at 7:30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
