Marcus O'Donovan co-presented short-lived S Club TV with the former This Morning star. 4 4 Despite the name, no members of the group S Club featured in this show. More than two decades on, Marcus has a surprising new job away from the screen. He now runs his own sparking water company, which is named CO2 You. According to Linkedin, the entrepreneur owned snack company HUSK from 2011 until 2024. Marcus previously opened up about his experience working in the food industry. He told About Time Magazine: "WORK FOR SOMEBODY IN THE INDUSTRY FIRST! I regret not getting that level of experience. "Ask around for honest feedback on your idea. "The hardest thing in the food industry isn't making a great product or branding it well, it's getting your product to market and understanding logistics and manufacturing. There is a lot to learn. "It can be very lonely and you may need a lot of funding. "Reach out to me if you're just starting, I'm always happy to give someone 15 minutes on the phone." How ITV are losing grip on 'golden girl' Holly Willoughby as she eyes £10m TV megadeal and plans to follow TV legend Ahead of its debut, the S Club TV team were interviewed by Ant and Dec and Cat Deeley on SMTV Live.

Stop publishing influencer ‘memoirs' – this latest is proof
Among my single female friends, the idea of dating a chef has always seemed deliciously romantic. Imagine a man whose idea of making you dinner is not his 'special' scrambled eggs (i.e. scrambled eggs with chives); who doesn't need to go to the gym because he's chopping meat all day in the kitchen; who represents the kind of primal masculinity that women are no longer supposed to validate. This is why the most interesting chapters in Tart, the much-hyped memoir from 'Slutty Cheff' – a 27-year-old pseudonymous Instagram sensation, and British Vogue's dating columnist – concern a whirlwind romance between her and a fellow chef, conducted in the ungodly hours, after their shifts. Their love language is, of course, food. Instead of nudes, he sends her a picture of 50 butchered rabbits, while she describes honing her bedroom technique by 'grating six sticks of horseradish a day'. When they make dinner together, it's a thrilling game of one-upmanship: who will out-chef the other? And then, 'after a day of handling dead meat in the kitchen, we can't wait to handle each other.' Who is Slutty Cheff? Her identity has never been publicised, but she's one of the few female chefs on the London restaurant scene. She started posting pictures on Instagram early in 2023 to cheer herself up during a depressive episode: they featured giant steak sandwiches, glistening plates of pasta and fluffy focaccia, accompanied by lengthy, funny captions about an associated memory – usually sexual – that teetered between the acerbic and absurd. Immediately, they caught widespread attention. Opening sentences included 'I am a quality woman. I have thighs of steel and a great rack. I like to eat at quality places', and 'The time I murdered a boy with a ham sandwich: I hadn't had sex in a while.' When she posted selfies, she would obscure her face with a burger emoji. Her 'viral moment' came in July 2023, when she wrote a satirical post imagining working a fictional trial shift at Straker's – restaurant of Thomas Straker, who became famous for his own viral videos making flavoured butters – and mocking their employee line-up of 'near identical white dudes' from Notting Hill. Vogue immediately commissioned her to write a first-person piece about why the contemporary tendency to fetishise 'chef daddies', such as Bradley Cooper in Burnt or Jeremy Allen White in The Bear, was only allowing a culture of toxic masculinity to thrive in the hospitality industry.
