But the question is - who is the best Chaser out of the lot? New research by Betway has examined factors such as accuracy, win rate, and highest target caught in order to determine the best Chaser of all time, Bristol Live reports.

Meanwhile, Anne Hegerty, known as 'The Governess' is ranked as the top Chaser on television.

These Jeans Sell Out Every Year – Now They've Just Been Restocked One Last Time
Nothing beats finding out that a sell-out staple has been restocked, and so far this month, we've seen the return of several sartorial favourites. First, Nobody's Child brought back its best-selling Cora dress in a delicious butter yellow. Then, ASOS restocked its ever-popular cow-print Adidas Sambas. Now, fashion fans can rejoice: Albaray has re-released its Mid Rise Barrel Leg Jeans, which is great news for denim devotees everywhere. While the barrel leg silhouette is hardly new (it went viral last summer, after all), Albaray has breathed new life into the silhouette just in time for the sartorially confusing transitional season. Roomy and comfortable, the British label's take on the shape comes in an autumnal inky blue denim as well as a timeless washed black style that'll work well with tank tops right now and with lightweight suede jackets once the September chill sets in. Crafted from 100% sustainable denim, both versions come in a tapered, barrel-leg fit and feature seam detailing at the knee. Naturally, well-dressed women have rushed to snap up the popular pair yet again. 1. Relaxed Mid-Rise Barrel Jeans A classic barrel leg denim is a must-have in any jean rotation, and these Albaray jeans are certainly no exception. For the remainder of August, style the jeans with sleek waistcoats for a tailored approach. Alternatively, opt for romantic ruffled or lace blouses in soft pastel tones: the kind you'd expect to see on a Chloé runway or a Sienna Miller paparazzi picture. As for footwear, caged fisherman sandals and ballet flats are excellent options, as are suede trainers. Once the weather shifts, inject western charm into your outfit and pair the denim with cowboy boots. This isn't the first time an Albaray staple has caused a stir among fashion's best dressed. Back in May, the Albaray Gingham Blouse became incredibly popular, conjuring up images of quaint Italian trattorias. Then, just last month, the label's Tiered Volume Maxi Dress gained plenty of online traction, and the frothy frock is now only available to shop in sizes 8, 10, and 12. After a lengthy restock wait, we'd wager the barrel leg jeans will likely meet the same fate. 2. Relaxed Mid-Rise Barrel Jeans - Black The barrel leg restock welcomed a brand new version of the best-selling jeans. Ideal for the coming transitional season, these jeans will take you from summer to autumn with ease. Image credits: @ and @thelookbuffet Emma Richardson is a fashion commerce writer for Grazia.

The singer, whose real name is Genevieve Alison-Jane Ballard, was on holiday in Aude when she documented the wildfire blazing through parts of the region. To follow up. All for us ended well. Thank you. Away from the fire now though the smell pervades the air everywhere. Desperately sorry for all inhabitants of this region and the havoc this catastrophe has wrought on their beautiful land. #Aude #incendi — Alison Moyet (@AlisonMoyet) August 7, 2025 The first posts, which included a photograph of the fire captured from her room, were shared on Wednesday with the singer adding that she was figuring out 'how to leave'. She posted an update on X on Thursday which said: 'All for us ended well. Thank you. 'Away from the fire now though the smell pervades the air everywhere. 'Desperately sorry for all inhabitants of this region and the havoc this catastrophe has wrought on their beautiful land.'

ITV axes Noel Edmonds' big TV comeback after just one series despite huge launch
Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure has reportedly been axed by ITV after just one series, despite the show marking the TV presenter's big comeback to British televisions ITV has reportedly axed Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure after just one series. The show was the presenter's first proper return to TV since he took part in I'm A Me Out of Here! in 2018. The three-part series, which aired on ITV1 earlier this year, followed Noel, 76, and his wife Elizabeth Davies as they showed off their new life in New Zealand. Viewers watched the couple as they spoke about their interest in crystal healing and living a sustainable lifestyle. Despite the big comeback, ITV has reportedly decided to shelve Noel's show after just one series. It comes after Noel Edmonds breaks down as he makes emotional confession about his marriage. A spokesperson for ITV confirmed to the Daily Mail on Thursday: "There are no current plans for more new episodes but audiences can enjoy the show on ITVX." Meanwhile, a TV insider told The Sun that the cancellation is "a blow" to Noel, who thought that he was "on to a winning idea". They added: "There was a great buzz around the series and it was well received by both viewers and critics alike." The Mirror has reached out to ITV for comment. On the series, Noel opened up about the "dark times" he's faced in the past, explaining that his home features a sculpture called Guardian which is a permanent reminder of his production company unexpectedly going bankrupt. "There's a description of my story here, for guests to understand why I had Guardian created. My Unique group of companies was deliberately collapsed by some corrupt bankers," he said. "And I'm safe in saying that because my bank manager went to prison, along with four others, for 50. What they were doing was pushing businesses over the edge and then taking assets—that's basically what it was about. When the companies went into administration in 2006, I thought I was a crap businessman. I thought it was my fault. 70 people lost their jobs." Noel then revealed: "And I said to Liz, who was a fantastic support, 'When,' not if, When I win my battle to get my losses back, I'm gonna get the great Weta Studios, Lord of the Rings, Avatar, the real creative powerhouses here in New Zealand, I'm gonna ask them to build me a statue." The series also saw Noel propose to wife Liz for the fifth time, asking her: "Deal or no deal?" He said: "We've been married a lot. We got married in a civil ceremony in the Cotswolds, then we went to our home in France and an Anglican minister who I knew very well came over and he was going to bless us and he did the whole thing again. "So this became a bit of a joke with our friends. Oh yeah, we were filming on a cruise ship and the captain married us again. We've done four. But we want a Kiwi one. And there's a compelling reason why we should get married again, in New Zealand. We own a chapel. So why wouldn't we?'
