Chris Hughes dropped from BBC hosting role in huge presenter shake-up
Chris Hughes first rose to fame appearing on Love Island but has since taken on an array of TV presenting duties and even competed on ITV2's reality hit Celebrity Big Brother Chris Hughes has been dropped from his BBC hosting role in a huge presenter shake-up, it has been reported. The former Love Island star previously took on the role of a presenter on the cricket competition the Hundred since it launched in 2021. However, it's thought that Chris will not be returning to the role this year. The Hundred is due to get underway on Tuesday with a derby between London Spirit and Oval Invincibles at Lord's. The BBC and Sky Sports both share the TV rights for the competition. It's believed that bosses are wanting to put more focus on the actual sport of the competition rather than using celebrities to market it as an entertainment show. The Sun reported that a spokesperson from the BBC said: "Chris has done a good job for four years, but we're going in a different direction. There will be more focus on the cricket this year, rather than promoting the Hundred as an entertainment show. "Former England cricketers Alex Hartley and Isa Guha and will lead the presenting team, as they know the sport inside out. Rick Edwards from Radio Five Live will be used in the Chris Hughes role." The Mirror have contacted Chris' reps and the BBC for comment. This is the second sports job that Chris has lost in the last few months. Back in April, it was revealed that he was leaving ITV Racing after six years with them. This was reportedly due to a dispute over pay. Chris' cricket presenting career wasn't all smooth sailing as in 2023 he was formally reprimanded by the BBC for making comments that were "not appropriate" after he told a female cricketer on air she was like "a little Barbie". All-rounder Mailan Brown, who plays for the Southern Brave team, was talking about how the team had watched the Barbie Movie in order to bond. She said: "We watched Barbie the other night all together and it was really good team bonding." Chris then responded by saying: "You're a little Barbie yourself, aren't you, with your blue eyes." Brown then laughed as Chris added: "She's blushing now." His comments then attracted criticism online and a BBC spokesperson said: "We have spoken to Chris and explained that his comment was not appropriate." Chris then returned to work for the BBC the following year. Chris first found fame when he appeared on Love Island. He struck up a spark at the time with Olivia Attwood but the pair didn't last. He has since gone on to appear on several reality shows, most recently Celebrity Big Brother. This is where he met his now-girlfriend JoJo Siwa after the duo got on like a house on fire during the series. The pair seemed to just be friends while on the show but as soon as the cameras were off them, they chose to take things to the next level and are now in a relationship.

Harry denies he left Prince Andrew with a 'bloody nose' in family gathering spat
Prince Harry has denied exchanging punches with Prince Andrew in a spat between the two royals. A new book claimed the Duke of Sussex and the Duke of York became embroiled in an argument during a family gathering in 2013. The confrontation was said to have been triggered by something said by Andrew 'behind Harry's back'. Entitled: The Rise and Fall of the House of York by Andrew Lownie claims Harry left his uncle with 'a bloody nose' in the dispute. The new book also separately alleges the Duke of York predicted that Harry's marriage to Meghan Markle would 'not last more than a month'. However a spokesperson for the Duke of Sussex denied the pair had ever had a physical altercation or that Andrew had made such comments about the Duchess of Sussex. Andrew stepped back as a full time royal after his car crash interview on Newsnight in 2019 in which he was quizzed about his relationship with paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. His reputation was further battered by claims from Virginia Giuffre that she had been forced to have sex with the duke as a teenager – claims Andrew denies. Lownie's book claims there have been frictions between Andrew and Harry for years, with the latter even allegedly telling his brother, the Prince of Wales, he 'hated' the Duke of York. Andrew, who attacked Harry for failing to carry out 'due diligence' on his wife before their wedding in 2018,is also said to have made rude remarks about the Princess of Wales. The frosty relations between royals come as Andrew faces an uncertain future at the Royal Lodge at Windsor Great Park since his estimated £1million allowance was stopped by the King. In his biography of Andrew, Lownie suggests William has 'long worked behind the scenes' to remove the Duke of York from the estate, where he believes he has abused 'his privilege', the Telegraph reported. The book claims to shine a light on Andrew's behaviour towards longstanding royal servants. He is said to have branded David Anderson, the former manager of Hillsborough Castle in Northern Ireland, a 'f***ing imbecile' for not referring to his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother, by her full title. More Trending Anderson was informing Andrew that a severe storm had wrecked damaged on the royal residence, including to a tree planted by the Queen Mother. After Anderson said he had worked for the royal household since 1984, Andrew allegedly said patronisingly: 'And you still don't know the proper way to refer to my grandmother? You f***ing imbecile. Get out.' Colin Burgess, a former esquerry to Queen Elizabeth II, said that Andrew, in contrast to other senior royals, spoke to staff 'as an officer talks to his subordinates'.
