The Couple Next Door returns to screens with an exciting new series, capitalising on the monumental success of its debut season.
Creator David Allison has crafted a brand-new tale for viewers, introducing an entirely different set of characters, replacing the original season's ensemble.
"The first series was about two couples that collided with each other - a square. Whereas this is more two love triangles... so the dynamic is really different," he shared with Radio Times, teasing what's to come for the show which premieres its second season on 14th July.
While Eleanor Tomlinson and Sam Heughan were at the forefront of the inaugural season, the upcoming one will feature household names like Hugh Dennis and Annabel Scholey gracing the television series.

The official synopsis for the second season of The Couple Next Door reads: "Leo's return sparks a change in Charlotte and Mia seizes the opportunity to work her way into Jacob and Charlotte's confidence, their street, and eventually even their bed, befriending cul-de-sac outcast Alan (Dennis) along the way.
"But it's not long before Mia's past comes back to haunt her, leading Charlotte and Jacob to question who she really is, especially when patients at the hospital start mysteriously dying.

"One thing is clear - giving in to their desires could have deadly consequences."

The celebrities picked are typically stars who know each other, or have worked together or against each other in the past. Unfortunately for fans, the celebrity version of the show has now been shelved. A source told The Sun Online: "Celebrity Antiques Road Trip has proved a popular show for the BBC, but the focus right now is the original version of the show. "A final decision hasn't been made on its future just yet, but it's definitely being rested for the remainder of the year and bosses will reassess in 2026." The Sun Online has approached the BBC for comment. Each paired up with an expert, the celebrity duo are given a strict budget to find trinkets that may secretly hold value. The winner was whoever takes home the most at an auction at the end of the episode. Among the celebrities who have taken part are The Traitors' Paul Gorman and Harry Clarke, The Young Ones' Nigel Planer and Alexei Sayle, 90s icons Sinitta and Samantha Fox, and former couple and Love Island winners Ekin-Su and Davide Sanclimenti.

John Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner breaks silence after MasterChef star sacked ‘for using racist slur'
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) JOHN Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner has broken her silence after the MasterChef star was sacked for allegedly using a racist slur. The top TV chef, 59, was said to be heartbroken after the BBC and production firm Banijay confirmed his dismissal for racist language following the Gregg Wallace scandal. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 John Torode's wife Lisa Faulkner has spoken out after her husband was sacked Credit: PA 4 She penned a message on Instagram Credit: lisafaulknercooks 4 Former MasterChef hosts John Torode, 59, and Gregg Wallace, 60, Credit: BBC Earlier this month, the broadcaster confirmed the host's contract would not be renewed after a report found he had used an 'extremely offensive racist term' during drinks after filming. Torode confirmed to The Sun that this allegation referred to him, but denied that it had ever happened. Now, in a video uploaded to Instagram today, his wife Lisa broke her silence for the first time. She said: "Hi there, I just wanted to check in and say hello and I'm here. "Just thank you for all your really lovely comments because they really mean a lot, so thank you." Wallace, 60, was dropped from the BBC cooking competition in November 2024 amid numerous allegations of inappropriate conduct in the workplace. But a BBC report which upheld 45 of 83 allegations of bad behaviour against Wallace also upheld a claim that a second person used a racial phrase once several years ago - which emerged to be Torode. Torode accepted the allegation referred to him, but has denied the claims and said he has 'no recollection' of the event. He also revealed that he had been told the person with whom he was speaking "did not believe it was intended in a malicious way". The BBC was unable to specify the time or date of the allegation, narrowing it down to '2018 or 2019'. Gregg Wallace breaks silence on racism claim against MasterChef co-host John Torode Torode followed Wallace in being sacked by the BBC after allegedly using a racial slur when repeating lyrics from rapper Kanye West's hit Gold Digger at an after-work gathering. The Australian began presenting the BBC cooking contest alongside Wallace in 2005. Gregg and John celebrated the show's 20th anniversary in 2024 with a special dinner at Fishmongers' Hall in London. It comes after Wallace unfollowed Torode and Faulkner on Instagram in December, with sources claiming at the time that he was 'furious' his former co-host had not defended him publicly amid the furore. But he recently defended Torode against the racism allegations in a bombshell chat with The Sun. In an exclusive interview he said: "I'll tell you one thing right now: John Torode is not a racist. "I've known John for 30 years and he is not a racist. 'And as evidence of that, I'll show you the incredible diversity of the people that he has championed, MasterChef winners, over the years. "There is no way that man is a racist. No way. And my sympathies go out to John because I don't want anybody to go through what I've been through.'

Celebrity SAS contestant 'quit hours into filming' before making huge life decision
Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins returns next week for its latest series on Channel 4 and among the line-up for the TV show is former S Club member Hannah Spearritt One of the celebrity contestants on the new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, which launches next week, reportedly dropped out just hours into the experience. The news comes after the line-up was announced last week. Fourteen celebrities were enlisted for the Channel 4 show's latest series, which was filmed in Wales. It's teased that the contestants will take part in "the most gruelling phase" of Special Forces selection over the eight episodes, with the upcoming series set to launch next weekend. The line-up includes former S Club member Hannah Spearritt, 44. She's understood to have filmed for the show prior to relocating to Costa Rica earlier this year, with the singer now living an "uninhibited" life in the jungle. She was said to have faced a "sequence of setbacks" prior to relocating abroad. In 2023, she was said to have faced homelessness and dropped out of S Club's reunion tour that same year. Her departure from the tour came after bandmate Paul Cattermole 's death weeks prior and Hannah said that her health contributed to the decision. It's now been reported this week that Hannah's experience on Celebrity SAS proved to be the "final straw" before she moved abroad. It's claimed that she quit on the first day after hoping it would "turn things around for her". A source told the Daily Mail that Hannah had "pretty much exhausted" her connections in the industry before her move to Costa Rica. They said that she no longer speaks to her bandmates and has "shut herself off" from the industry. They added that the "final straw" came when she took part in Celebrity SAS. The source told the outlet: "Hannah truly believed that a stint on one of the hardest and most gruelling shows could turn things around for her." However, it's claimed that Hannah struggled with the experience on the reality TV show. The source said: "But sadly she just couldn't hack it and walked on the first day." They then concluded by saying: "It was all rather embarrassing." She spoke about her hopes for the show in a statement released by Channel 4 last week when the line-up was announced. She said: "I hope to take out of this experience, strength. I want to feel stronger again, mentally and physically, because there's always improvement there." Hannah, who has two children, added: "There are always dips that happen along the way with motherhood or whatever but I think when you just experience different stuff, it changes you. I have no idea what to expect, but I do know it will be an experience and it's something that I will have for life." She said: "However the experience goes, I am going to learn about myself. Maybe I'll find out I am a bit of a mess or I might find out that I'm stronger than I think I am … it's finding out things about yourself that you would never, ever find out. We live in this world where it's so easy to live in our comfort zone, so this is an opportunity to get outside of that and … for me anyway, growth and expansion is one of the most important things, and that is something that hopefully I can pass on to my kids." Since taking part in the show, Hannah has relocated to Costa Rica with her husband Adam Thomas and their two children. Earlier this year, she teased that she was embracing a "new beginning" after having left the UK just months prior. Hannah confirmed in January that she had arrived at her new home, writing: "Well ... we finally made it to paradise. Beautiful country, beautiful people." She's continued to share updates since then and her bio on Instagram reads: "Prepper, survivalist and creator now living the uninhibited jungle life." In one of her first posts after relocating, which was shared in February, Hannah said that the area had helped her "recover from a challenging year". She made the comment alongside photos including one of her beside her kids on a walk. She wrote in the caption: "Morning walks down to the waterfall… trying to keep up with the little legs! I'm putting together a little reel of this magical place that has really helped me recover from a challenging year and I'll put the link in with it so you can enjoy it too if u like."
