Cast One Laughing
IT'S all about keeping a straight face, but TV hit Last One Laughing UK has given its makers plenty to smile about after a second season got the green light.
And I can reveal bosses are toasting their success by lining up a fresh batch of comics to take part.

Top of their wish list for the follow-up to this year's first ever British series, which was won by Bob Mortimer, are legendary duo Jennifer Saunders and Dawn French.
They also hope to sign Romesh Ranganathan, Katherine Ryan, Josh Widdicombe and Lucy Beaumont to the next instalment of the Prime Video show.
A TV insider told me: 'After the first series went down so well, there's confidence an even better line-up can be secured.
'Getting either Jennifer or Dawn will be a major coup, but there'll be no shortage of takers.
'It's only a day's work and their efforts would be broadcast to millions globally.'
The Last One Laughing franchise has been a worldwide hit.
Here in the UK, ten comedy 'legends', including Bob, Richard Ayoade, Daisy May Cooper, Rob Beckett, Joe Lycett and Joe Wilkinson, were tasked with making each other laugh over a six-hour period in a Big Brother-style house, with cameras following their every move.
But they risked being banished from the game if host Jimmy Carr or his sidekick Roisin Conaty spotted them sporting so much as a smirk.
Series two will comprise six 30-minute episodes and begin filming later this year, with a view to airing in 2026.
Jimmy said of a second series: 'I'm delighted. I think someone high up at Amazon clicked 'subscribe and save' on Prime Video and, hey presto, we're back.
'I'm so pleased people had as much fun watching the first season as we had making it.'
He added: 'I can't wait to bask in the reflected glory of the next ten comedy legends taking on the challenge.'
Something to look forward to.

Midwives get in 70s groove
IT first focused on the post-war 'Baby Boom' in 1957 when it hit screens on the BBC more than a decade ago, and Call The Midwife finally reached the 1970s earlier this year.
Now, first-look images from the set of the new series, which will be screened early in 2026, show how the drama has firmly shifted into a new decade.

While Helen George is back in her signature uniform as midwife Trixie Franklin, one of the latest Nonnatus House nurses, Renee Bailey's Joyce Highland, sports a colourful dress as she gets busy fundraising in the behind-the-scenes peek.
She's later seen dressed as an angel for the Christmas show, alongside Natalie Quarry's Rosalind Clifford.
Filming for series 15 is currently taking place in London's East End, and will begin with a two-part Christmas special which sees characters travel to Hong Kong on a mercy mission.
It comes after it was revealed that Call The Midwife would return with a film, and a prequel series, which will step further back in time, being set during the Second World War.
The prequel will offer a view of life in Poplar, East London, during the Blitz, which showrunners have promised will feature 'some familiar (if much younger) faces'.

The famous couple called it quits in 2009 and no longer communicate with one another. 6 Katie Price has shared a surprise comment about her ex's new wife 6 The star had her say on Emily Andre Credit: Getty 6 Pete has been married to Emily since his split with Kate Credit: Instagram But in a rare comment, Katie has praised Peter's new wife, GP Emily Andre and expressed her feelings about her ex having found someone new. Katie and Peter share two children together - Princess and Junior - and whilst his love life has been steady with Emily ever since, Katie has been divorced twice more with a string of failed engagements under her belt. But now Katie has admitted she is glad Peter married Emily as she aired her thoughts on their romance during an interview with Katherine Ryan. She spoke to Katherine on her podcast, What's My Age Again, where she shared her thoughts on the couple who have just celebrated a decade of marriage. Katie told Katherine: "I'm glad he's with Emily. She seems like a proper lady. "I think it'd be weird if he went for someone like me." Furthermore, she admitted her daughter Princess is shocked that her mum and dad were ever once a couple amid the striking differences between Katie and Emily. The former glamour model added: "[Princess] says, 'You're just so nuts mum. When I see you and Emily, you're just so different. I can't imagine you and dad.' "I said, 'I was with your dad six years.

'And you know, she can't believe that whenever he went anywhere or me, we were together with the kids. And we'd go as a family. 'Emily doesn't do all that for Pete. "Me and Pete just did it all together as a family. If we'd got you kids, you would come with us." Katie confirmed earlier this year that she hasn't spoken to Peter once since their final conversation in which she suggested that Peter divorced her amid his uncertainty in their marriage.

Speaking about their lack of communication, she said on the We Need To Talk podcast: "Until this day, me and Pete have never sat down and spoken about it. "It's all through lawyers.

Noel Edmonds says 'crystal bed' and shower routine are key to looking young
The weird and wonderful world of Noel Edmonds is revealed in his new show, as the star explains how he still looks so young at 76, but not all the steps are easy to follow at home The weird and wonderful world of Noel Edmonds is revealed in his new show - including how he manages to stay looking so young thanks to a detailed regime. Former TV host Noel is launching a career comeback next week on ITV. Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure sees him building a new life in New Zealand with his wife Liz. And in the first episode Noel explains how he still looks so young at 76, but not all the steps you will be able to follow along at home. Wife Liz first explains Noel is sat on a crystal bed, with beautiful quartz crystals lit above him and a sound of five to eight hertz being omitted into his headphones as he lies down. Noel says: 'The light bulb moment about my health, and it's a good term to use, was when I found all this information about what we really are. All we are is body energy systems, and that body energy system touches everything around us, which is how you move into the bigger matrix, the universal energy system. 'I find this so exciting, because this is all based on ancient spiritual wisdom.' Listing purified water, an oxygen tank and cold showers amongst the other things which make him feel youthful, Noel said: 'I suddenly realised actually there were six components that worked really well for me. The formula consists of nutrition and structured water, this is water in its purest form. Demonstrating the next element he added: 'Pulsed electromagnetism. And what is happening now is, by pulsing electromagnetism, all my little cells are going 'Whoa now we've got good frequencies'. Now we can work properly.' He also said there is 'a certain way to exercise, which I do very slowly and quietly, called tranquil power, He calls it tranquil power because 'everything about it is quiet and slow' but it is similar to people doing normal weight sessions in a gym. He said: 'Then something I call vibe, visualisation of body energy meditation. This takes me somewhere else, and it's beautiful. Those things together. Then I chuck in a little bit of cold showers I normally have a warm shower in the morning and wash it off with a cold shower and a sauna and infrared proven science. Very, very good for you. 'And the hyperbaric chamber - a little bit of oxygen three times a week. You don't have to wear this, but it shoots almost pure oxygen into your body.' Noel joked he has been 'researching it for 76 years' when it comes to staying young, and he and wife Liz certainly seem happy in the documentary and living a wonderful life together. They are in the Tasman region of the South Island in the countryside with Nelson their nearest town. The UK presenter and his wife Liz are reported to have practically bought an entire town in the Motueka Valley - in an estate valued at NZ$30m (£14.5m). Eccentric Noel also has clocks around his New Zealand home stopped at 11.06, in tribute to his wife Liz who was his make up artist on Deal Or No Deal when they met. He makes no secret of the fact he is besotted with her. He added: "Generally speaking, when you round here, see a clock at six minutes past 11. It's not broken. That was the time on the sixth of October, 2006 Yep. When my earth angel arrived and introduced herself. 'Liz was sent to me. She is an earth angel, which I know some people will fall about laughing. I knew she was in the room before I turned around. I looked her and went, Oh, thank goodness, there you are, the sustenance of her energy is my lifeblood. I mean, it really is. 'You will never, ever pull us apart, because we are one. To find that in your life is a gift. 'I believe it's a gift from the cosmos. It was an unforgettable moment. So the clocks are there, the time of my life.' In response Liz jokes: 'I thought someone has got to look after him. Doing my little bit of care in the community!' Liz also explains that the couple didn't have a real plan when they moved to New Zealand six years ago, but they have ended up buying River Haven estate. She says: 'There was no plan whatsoever to come and buy a vineyard and do this. I don't know. It's just a feeling of, oh, we could work on this. We could develop this.' The ITV series will show Noel and Liz trying to build New Zealand's first energy garden and a fledgling business which includes a pub called The Bugger Inn and a coffee truck. Noel tells the cameras: 'When we get to the end of whatever this is, how big are your regrets? When I get to the end, I aim to have no regrets whatsoever.' In March, rumours of the show leaked out and it drew comparisons with Jeremy Clarkson show Clarkson's Farm, which airs on Prime Video. But Clarkson's Farm is now making money and it remains to be seen if Noel can ensure his business makes a profit as he has to cope with unseasonal bad weather and "feelings of being an outsider'. Noel is unlikely to be back to the UK to live anytime soon. Asked what he loves so much about New Zealand, he said: 'I struggle to explain why I'm so excited about this Kiwi adventure. It comes down to the land - the look, the feel of it. We have a beautiful home, and in the morning, we wake up to a view of the mountains. Whether or not you can see them tells you what the weather will be like. Just a few kilometres away, there's a beautiful beach, the Moutere River, and within an hour's drive, you're in serious bush - wild terrain. The scenery here is magical. Even after six years, we'll go for a drive and still say, wow.' He thinks his love of the outdoors and greenery could be 'a reaction to being born in Ilford, in Essex, surrounded by bricks, concrete, and tarmac'. Once he has money from his TV and radio career he bought land and said he has been farming since the 80s. Asked why he had invited the ITV cameras to New Zealand he said there were three reasons including to promote New Zealand and to support the local economy. On the third reason, he added: 'To show a different side of me. I'll admit it: there's a bit of ego involved. People still ask, 'Noel Edmonds? Didn't he die? Is he still around?' Yes, I'm still here - and living life to the full.' In 2018, Noel went on I'm A Celebrity and picked up a reported £600,000 fee and a feeling he could be one of the leaders of the camp for the rest of the series. But in one of the biggest shocks in reality TV history Noel Edmonds was the first contestant to leave the show that year. Rather than try to make more TV he then headed to New Zealand soon after to begin a new life. Noel started his broadcasting career hosting Top of the Pops in the early 70s and later went on to present nineties hit Noel's House Party with beloved Mr Blobby and Deal Or No Deal. Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure starts on ITV on June 20.
