Huge chart-topping singer 'becomes latest star to sign up for Celebrity Great British Bake Off' alongside Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa
One of the UK's biggest singers has reportedly joined the next series of Celebrity Bake Off. Rag 'N' Bone man, 40, who rose to fame with hits like Human and Giant, is set to swap the mic for a mixing bowl when filming kicks off later this year for the upcoming Stand Up To Cancer special. A source told The Sun: 'He's really excited about getting in the tent - he can't wait for his son to see him baking on TV! 'He's watched the show - now he's ready to impress the judges'. MailOnline has contacted representatives of Rag 'N' Bone Man for comment. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Rag 'N' Bone man, who rose to fame with hits like Human and Giant, is set to swap the mic for a mixing bowl when filming kicks off later this year for the upcoming Stand Up To Cancer special The hitmaker whose real name is Rory Graham, previously revealed that Bake Off was the only reality show he would sign up for, after admitting he was actually a dab hand in the kitchen. During lockdown, the BRIT Award winner found himself falling in love with baking while spending time with his young son. Back in 2021, he shared with Sky News: 'My son enjoys cakes, like a lot of three-year-olds do. 'So we got into making all sorts of different kinds of cakes, I've kind of become quite good at baking, which is not necessarily a bad thing.' And when quizzed about taking part in Bake Off, he said he was a fan of the show and despite not liking the thought of appearing on reality shows, would make the exception. He said: 'If they want me, I'll be there. 'I don't really like the idea of reality shows, but I reckon I'd give Bake Off a go. If Big Narstie can do, I can do it.' The news comes just days after it was claimed that fashion influencer Molly-Mae Hague, comedian Babatúndé Aléshé and Dance Moms alum JoJo Siwa are also set for the iconic Bake Off tent. Molly-Mae, is set to make her come back to reality TV on the Channel 4 show for the first time since Love Island. The influencer, 26, has been placed firmly in the spotlight since her break-up last year with Tommy Fury, which was chronicled in her Prime Video documentary, Molly-Mae: Behind it All. A source told The Sun earlier this week: 'She will be a great addition to the line-up and bring a healthy helping of Love island glamour to the tent. 'Molly's now one of Britain's biggest TV stars and has seen her fame steadily grow since she first appeared on the ITV dating show back in 2019.' While JoJo is also said to be going on the show after taking Celebrity Big Brother by storm earlier this year. The Dance Moms star, 22, is said to have been scooped up by Channel 4 to film the celebrity spin-off in the midst of her huge surge in popularity in the UK. A source told The Sun: 'This is a bit of a coup for the Bake Off because Jojo is currently one of the most talked about young stars on TV right now. 'She's barely had time to catch her breath, leaving CBB last month amid huge media attention and heading straight into another huge show this month.' They added that it's a 'fantastic gig for her' because although she already has a fanbase over here, the baking show will also introduce her to a wider British audience. Comedian Babatunde Aleshe is also said to be on the star-studded line-up, after his stint on I'm A Celeb in 2022. A TV insider told The Sun: 'Babatunde is guaranteed to be hilarious and will no doubt have plenty of banter with Paul, Noel, Caroline and Alison. 'He's not known for his prowess in the kitchen so there's sure to be some panicky moments laced with the good humour he's known for. 'His energy on the Gogglebox sofa has always been pure positivity and very infectious, and bosses are hoping he'll bring that to the tent.' The celebrity special of the beloved Channel 4 baking show is set to take place later this year, with hosts noel Fielding and Alison Hammond returning, alongside judge Paul Hollywood.

Love Island's Blu Chegini offers sex tips to co-stars and sets his sights on the hideaway as he reveals his parents' VERY racy jobs
Love Island's Blu Chegini has joked that he will offer sex tips to his co-stars in the villa and has set his eyes on the hideaway as he opened up about his mum's VERY racy job. The construction project manager, 26, from London, is one of the sexy singletons ready to find The One on the upcoming series of the ITV2 dating show. Ahead of entering the iconic villa in Mallorca, Blu revealed that his mum owns a 'popular' sex shop in Spain. When asked what his parents think if he ended up doing the deed on the programme, Blu said: 'I haven't really spoken to them about it. 'It's not something I probably would have gone and said, "look, listen, what's going to happen." From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Yes it's something that we've been open with our whole lives. 'It doesn't mean that I'm going in there with like "I'm going do that, this is what is going to happen." 'Like, whatever happens, they're gonna be supported no matter what. 'So for me, it's not always that.' The hunk is very interested to see what Love Island's iconic Hideaway has to offer - which is usually kitted out with various sex toys and kinky outfits. The room is somewhere the Islanders can get some alone time in an intimate setting away from the rest of their co-stars He said: 'I'm keen to see what the hideaway has in store!' Blu added: 'I hope they bring in like, not the trashy stuff.' The hunk is very interested to see what Love Island's iconic Hideaway has to offer - which is usually kitted out with various sex toys and kinky outfits When asked if he'll give any tips to the other Islanders, he said: 'I don't think I'm qualified for that... 'But I could give some tips if needed.' It comes after it was revealed that Love Island fans are set to enjoy the x-rated sex scenes happening in the famous Hideaway again as a new summer instalment looms in. The hit dating ITV show is set to bring sexy back for the very first time in five years, according to bosses' comments. 'If sex happens, we'll show it. 'The Hideaway will be open 24 hours,' Mike Spencer, Love Island's Creative Director said. He added: 'We need to keep the show fresh and exciting. 'After 10 years, the stats speak for themselves. The show will continue to thrive.' And although the usual play of Love Island is to couple up with one other person from the opposite sex - bosses are hoping for potential throuples in the villa this year as they 'tear up the rule book' and install new furniture to help encourage bonking and create drama. One of the new additions includes a trampoline bed that sits across the swimming pool, and the Love Island exec has insisted it has been tested for up to four people. The secret hideaway - which includes a bed and hot tub - is now open 24 hours a day for those that aren't coupled up. Love Island's Harry Cooksley and Ben Holbrough have also insisted that they WILL have sex in the villa - and have already warned their families about saucy romps airing to the nation. When asked about if would go all the way, Harry from Guildford, Surrey, said: 'Listen... It's not out of question. 'If it feels right then I will. I have briefed my mum as well. Meanwhile Ben from Gloustershire said: 'I can never say never. 'You know, you gotta take every day as it comes. 'Who knows... there's a girl and I was trying to bed with, and she's sexy... 'Who knows, cuddling every night, it could get carried away. 'The hideaway is there as well, so we'll wait and see.' Love Island starts Monday 9th June 2025.

Thomas Frank 2/9 favourite to replace Ange Postecoglou as Tottenham manager - with Marco Silva and Oliver Glasner also potential candidates
Brentford boss Thomas Frank is the heavy favourite to replace Ange Postecolgou as Tottenham manager following the Australian's sacking on Friday. Postecoglou, who won the club's first trophy for 17 years in the Europa League just a matter of days ago, lasted exactly two years in charge before being let go. Speculation is already rife regarding who will replace the outgoing coach, with a number of current Premier League bosses on the shortlist, but Frank the current odds on favourite. The Brentford manager is currently 2/9 with Sky Bet to take the reins in north London in a move that would bring an end to his seven-year spell with the Bees. Elsewhere, Marco Silva is priced at 9/2 to be the next Spurs boss, while Crystal Palace's Oliver Glasner is listed at 9/2. For those looking for longer odds, former Barcelona star and boss Xavi Hernandez is priced at 10/1, while Michael Carrick, who was sacked by Championship Middlesbrough this week, is 14/1. In terms of some more ambitious bets, the likes of Gareth Southgate can be picked up at 33/1, while Steven Gerrard is 50/1. Next Tottenham manager odds: Thomas Frank - 2/9 Marco Silva - 9/2 Oliver Glasner - 9/1 Xavi Hernandez - 10/1 Michael Carrick - 14/1
