'And honestly, all I want to do is talk about it, but I'm not allowed.
'All I can say is, it was very fun – the cast and meeting the other people.
'It was great to see everybody and get to know everyone on a much deeper level, and very intense level, because you're completely shut off from the rest of the world. So yeah, it was fun.'

Recommended reading:
The last three series of the UK version of The Traitors, set in Ardross Castle in the Scottish Highlands, have seen people appointed traitors and faithfuls by Winkleman.
The recent series saw project manager Jake Brown and former soldier Leanne Quigley win a prize pot of £94,600, after booting out a traitor in a final tense episode earlier this year.
Finalists have a chance of winning a chunk of the £120,000 prize, but if a traitor survives until the very end, unidentified, they take home the full prize pot, and any faithfuls left go home with nothing.

Strictly's Anton Du Beke says wife's endometriosis diagnosis is 'cruel and inexplicable'
Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has candidly spoken about his wife Hannah's endometriosis diagnosis and their difficult path to becoming parents Strictly Come Dancing judge Anton Du Beke has spoken frankly about his wife's devastating battle with endometriosis and how it affected their journey to parenthood. The cherished BBC personality married marketing executive Hannah Summers in 2017, having first met at Wentworth Golf Club in Surrey in 2012. The pair were delighted to welcome twins George and Henrietta following their wedding, after successful IVF treatment. Yet, during a heartfelt conversation on Giovanna Fletcher's Happy mum Happy Baby podcast, Anton revealed that Hannah had grave worries about their chances of starting a family due to her crippling endometriosis condition. The NHS describes endometriosis as "where cells similar to those in the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other parts of the body. It can have a big impact on your life, but there are treatments that can help". The distinguished dancer admitted his confusion at life's harshness, as he observed Hannah tenderly engaging with her nephews, questioning the fairness of their fertility struggles, reports the Mirror. He said: "I knew I wanted to be with her, I saw her with her nephews. She's so kind and so caring, I just couldn't understand the universe." Anton bemoaned the apparent unfairness from above, stating: "And whoever is upstairs, if anyone's upstairs, looking down and going 'you are the most perfect person to have children, but I'm not going to let you have any children because I'm going to give you this'. "And I'm going to say 'you're going to have this endometriosis, and you're going to suffer with this all of your life, chronically, and I'm not going to let you have any children. "I thought that was peculiar, cruel, and inexplicable and unforgivable. And if ever I go up to somewhere and meet this person I would say 'I think you're not OK with decisions like this, this doesn't make any sense to me." Anton has candidly spoken about the difficulties he and his wife Hannah encountered during their IVF journey, which eventually brought them closer together. The couple were blessed as the treatment worked on their first attempt, resulting in the birth of their twins, George and Henrietta, in 2017, with their nuptials taking place later that year. In a heartfelt chat with Giovanna, Anton admitted his previous lack of knowledge about endometriosis and emphasised the importance of increased government funding for women's health services. Reflecting on their ordeal, he shared: "Then we went through the process of IVF, well crying out loud. You girls are extraordinary. As much as I want to get involved, all I can do is hold your hand. It makes me emotional every time I talk about it. The injections, the stress, the anxiety. I have anxiety and stress but it's not my body. "She has these injections and the bruises in the bum, in the thigh, in the stomach. And you're trying to help but what can you do? Whatever you want, tell me and I'll do it but that's all you have and it's horrendous as a man to watch it. "You feel so inadequate and you want to do so much more but I can't do anything. And that's why you girls are so extraordinary, you're extraordinary that you do all this stuff."

‘There's big decisions to be made' – Eddie Howe breaks his silence on Alexander Isak telling Newcastle he wants to leave
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EDDIE HOWE admits Newcastle need to 'make a decision' on the future of Alexander Isak. But the Toon boss has insisted that any negotiation for their £150m-rated star striker must be in the best interests of the club. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Eddie Howe knows losing his top striker will be a big blow Credit: Rex 5 Isak wants out from Newcastle and has made it clear he wants to leave Credit: PA 5 The Swedish striker will not be short on suitors with Liverpool and Al-Hilal leading the way Credit: PA Isak, 25, is understood to have told the Newcastle hierarchy that he wants to leave this summer and will not sign an extension on his current deal that expires in 2028. Having not travelled on the club's Asia pre-season tour with a reported thigh strain, Liverpool are said to be preparing a world-record bid to lure Isak to Anfield. Sunsport understands that Saudi side Al-Hilal have offered him a £32million-a-year deal — but his heart is set on Liverpool. Quizzed on Isak's future hours after landing in Singapore, Howe said: 'There's always big decisions to make when you're at Newcastle. That goes with the territory.

With these situations, it has to be right for the football club. 'Obviously, everything is taken into context below that, but the club will make the right decision with all the information that it has. 'Ultimately, to try and move the club forward in whatever way that is. Then it's up to us to make good decisions the other way and try and improve the squad as best we can. 'That's what we're trying to do, regardless of Alex's situation. Of course, we want stability and we want the group to have a really good feeling. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'We are in a very strong position financially. We are determined to be successful. 'We are ambitious. We've got a great season ahead of us. We need to add to the squad and continue to improve. 'And if the journey can continue to an upward trajectory, I think that's what we all want. So that's what we're battling to try and achieve.' Newcastle plotting Benjamin Sesko bid to replace Alexander Isak Liverpool have recently signed Frankfurt striker Hugo Ekitike for £79m, but are still open to breaking the bank for Isak – who has also been monitored by Arsenal. Isak pulled out of Newcastle's 4-0 friendly defeat to Celtic last weekend through injury, which coincided with rumours of his departure ramping up. Howe continued: 'I have to say, the feeling during pre-season has been as good as any other. "I don't think we're distracted. We're here, we're focused and we're working hard. 'Of course there are things going on behind the scenes. [Isak] will be aware, he's in the news every day and I'm sure that's not easy for anyone in that situation. 5 Isak signed for Newcastle in 2022 for a club record fee of £63million 5 He scored 23 league goals last season as they qualified for Champions League football Credit: The Times 'I'm not actually having daily contact with anyone connected with the board, we're out here, it's been a whirlwind here in the sense of training and the intensity of what we're doing. 'So, that's for other people to deal with back home. I've got 30 players here that I need to look out for and to prepare the team as best we can. 'We do share a really good relationship with him. He's been magnificent for us since he's joined. He's very popular in the dressing room. 'We'd love him to continue his journey at Newcastle. Hopefully he'll be back playing the black and white shirt, that's what we all want to see.' On whether Isak is close to signing a new deal at St James' Park, Howe added: 'As far as I am aware, I don't think there are any contract talks taking place at the moment. 'That would be for a later date potentially. With the situation as it is, there's still so much that could happen. 'I said against Celtic after the game, I certainly hope he stays. I said I was confident that he'd stay. "I don't see anything that's going to change that opinion of mine at the moment. 'But it's football, and who knows what the future may bring.'
