Rob Brydon to host new BBC show Destination X
Rob Brydon will be hosting the BBC's new competitive reality show Destination X.
The show will see 13 contestants on a journey through Europe competing for £100,000.
Destination X contestants will travel around Europe on a special bus, where the windows of the bus are opaque but can briefly become clear at the flick of a switch.
The players have to learn to live with each other and to complete challenges to win clues as to where on earth they are.
At the end of each episode, they all go into the 'map room' on the bus and place an X on the map trying to guess where they are.
Whoever is furthest away from the actual location or Destination X has to leave.
The winner of Destination X will receive the six-figure cash prize.
On hosting the show, Brydon said: "I've never done a TV show on this scale before. I loved the idea of it, the combination of having to work out clues as to where you are and having to get on with each other.
"It struck me as the best bits of The Traitors with the best bits of Race Across the World.

"The other thing that attracted me was the scale of it and being a part of a show as ambitious as this, with as huge a crew and as huge a team.
"I knew it would be a real challenge to see if I could steer that ship."
Destination X begins on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on Wednesday, July 30, at 9pm, with episodes airing on Wednesdays and Thursdays.

Strictly star finds love with boxer after being linked to dance pro
A STRICTLY Come Dancing star has found love with a boxer after being linked with a BBC show pro. The Paralympian, 32, has showcased her new romance in a cute video posted to her Instagram grid. 6 6 6 It showed her stripped to a blue bikini holding her man's hand as they strolled into the crystal-clear sea in Sardinia. Back in 2019, Lauren Steadman, 32, was linked to her Strictly partner AJ Pritchard after their "romantic" routines on-stage. Yet now Lauren, who reached the semi-final of the 2018 series with AJ, has found love with a boxer known as Bradley. He appears to keep a low profile not being tagged on her account, yet he appears in both their sweet holiday clip and a post showing them boxing together. Lauren wrote in her holiday caption: "Pausing to make time. "It actually looks like Bradley is just entertaining my morning waffle. "Between my training and his boxing coaching time has been limited but 20mins every morning at the beach has been well worth it." Her followers were quick to react to the post, which showed the pair loved up and holding hands. One wrote: " Awwwwwww my sweeetiee piessss." Lauren Steadman and DJ Locksmith are crowned as co-winner of Channel 4's Celebrity SAS- Who Dares Wins A second put: "This makes me happy. Just saying." A third then gushed: "Great news!!!!!" MOVING ON Since Strictly, Lauren went on to be crowned a co-winner of gritty reality series Celeb SAS. Yet prior to this, she and AJ had been wowing audiences around the country for the last few weeks with their routines as part of the Strictly live tour. After Lauren and AJ performed their touching Viennese Waltz to You Are The Reason by Calum Scott, judge at the time Darcey Bussell praised Lauren on how much her dancing had improved. She then added they had brought "plenty of romance" to their performance, which appeared to make the pair blush and squirm a little. Host Ore Oduba then added fuel to the fire, saying Darcey was "reading between the dance lines", causing the audience to 'ooh', 'ahh' and whistle their approval. It wasn't the first time AJ and Lauren had been romantically linked, as during their series, AJ hinted there could be more than friendship between them. He told The Mirror at the time: "I am very protective of her because we have worked so closely together. 'There are different things that she will talk about in training that she would never talk about on camera." Yet the world champion Paralympic athlete had her eyes on the prize as she celebrated "normalising disabilities" on the prime time BBC show. She and dance partner AJ often had to find new ways to do routines because Lauren was born missing her lower right arm. Alongside this, Lauren had to compete against celebrities like Ashley Roberts and Faye Tozer who were already professionally-trained dancers. 6 6 6

Repair Shop Jay Blades turns to TikTok to earn money from fans and host late night live sessions despite being charged with two counts of rape as he awaits trial on separate charge of controlling and coercive behaviour
BBC star Jay Blades, who has been charged with two counts of rape, hosts bizarre late night TikTok lives, declares himself a 'born again' Christian and is raking in cash from fans. Despite serious allegations against the TV presenter, who was charged with two counts of rape on Monday, the Repair Shop star seems unfazed as he turns to social media to earn money and help improve his public image. The Mail can reveal that Blades, 54, who is currently on a break from television following the disturbing allegations, has taken to hosting late-night livestreams from his bedroom – dancing to gospel and soul music, preaching about his newfound faith, and interacting with a growing online fanbase. During these TikTok sessions – some running well into the early hours – Blades is seen smiling, singing, and declaring himself a 'born again Christian', praising the 'greatness of God' to hundreds of viewers at a time. Fans, many of whom appear unaware of the serious charges he's facing, have been sending him virtual gifts during the livestreams – which convert into real money. The embattled TV star is reportedly earning income from the platform as he continues to build an enthusiastic following online. Blades currently has 15,000 followers on TikTok and posts regularly about his 'weekend sessions'. He has also gained 584 followers on Twitch, where he broadcasts his session. He is also 'earning' 389 bits - which on Twitch are a virtual good that viewers can purchase and use to 'Cheer' in a streamer's chat. Streamers earn revenue based on the number of Bits used in their chat. Jay's goal on his profile says his 'goal' is to earn 1,000 bits. The most recent video advertising his next 'service' reads: 'Sunday is for soul care. 'For grace, elegance, and moments that feel like velvet. Today, I invite you into a space of refined peace and timeless beauty. Music that calms the chaos, elevates the spirit, and reminds you of who you are beneath the rush. 'This is Sophisticated Sunday—where every song is chosen with intention, every sound is smooth as silk, and your presence is all that's needed. 'Unwind. Reflect. Feel deeply. Let the music move you.' According to his profile, his next online session will be taking place this weekend, late into the evening on Friday. Police said in a statement on Monday night that the 55-year-old father-of-three would appear at magistrates' court next Wednesday. A spokesperson for West Mercia Police said: 'Jason Blades, 55, of Claverley in Shropshire, has been charged with two counts of rape. 'He is due to appear at Telford magistrates' court on 13 August 2025.' Blades is currently awaiting trial on a separate charge of coercive control of his estranged wife Lisa-Marie Zbozen. He denied the allegation when he appeared at Worcester Crown Court last October. The star was charged last September with a single count of 'controlling and coercive behaviour' between January 1 2023 and September 12 2024. The single charge relates to his fitness instructor wife Ms Zbozen, who announced on Instagram on May 2 last year that she had walked out of the marriage. The BBC show, which started on daytime TV in 2017 before moving to a primetime slot, saw Blades become one of the best-known faces on British TV. He was honoured with an MBE in 2021. He has been at the helm of the show for seven years, but was dropped from last year's live tour. Roman Kemp In 2022, a special one-off episode to mark the BBC's centenary saw Blades and the repair team visit the King, when he was still the Prince of Wales, at Dumfries House in Scotland. Blades was made an MBE by Charles in May 2022 for services to craft and in recognition of his work promoting heritage craft and restoration in the UK.
