Sunday Brunch guest almost misses show after boozy BRIT Awards celebrations
A Sunday Brunch guest almost missed the whole show after enjoying a boozy night of celebration at the BRIT Awards.
Selling Sunset star Bre Tiesi was due to appear on the Channel 4 show alongside former TOWIE star Megan McKenna, G'Wed actor Jake Kenny-Byrne, writer Liz Pichon, singer Antony Szmierek and Jon Ronson earlier today (March 2).
But she was visibly missing as it started, with her absence only being addressed more than half way through.
Tim Lovejoy interrupted the programme with a "breaking news" update to confirm the whereabouts of the reality star, the Mirror reports.

He told viewers: "Breaking news - Bre from Selling Sunset is in the car and she's at the hotel.
"For anyone that doesn't know, Bre was supposed to be on the show this morning but she went to the BRITs last night and so she is going to turn up when she turns up.
"But she's a friend of ours, so we don't mind
"We just hope she manages to make it at some stage."
Bre, who shares a son with comedian Nick Cannon, found fame on the Netflix series Selling Sunset in 2022.
She is one of the real estate agents working at the luxury Hollywood Hills brokerage, The Oppenheim Group.
Another guest did a disappearing act while the show was on air, with Tim forced to explain why X Factor star Megan had vanished from her seat.
He explained: "Sorry Megan has just had to step away to feed Landon [her baby son], which is why she's now missing."
Bre finally arrived in the studio at 12:30pm, telling the hosts: "I am not well, sorry guys."
She admitted she'd drank several tequila shots and got back to her hotel at 6am.
Sunday Brunch airs on Channel 4 on Sundays from 10am.

Casting call issued for new Channel 4 property auction programme
A casting call has been issued for a new television series about the high-stakes world of property auctions. Entrepreneur Sarah Beeny will present the Channel 4 series I Bought It At Auction With Sarah Beeny, which will explore the real-life drama, risks, and potential rewards of buying homes under the hammer. Each episode will follow buyers as they chase their dream homes through auction, "from bargain terraces to sprawling mansions - and even the occasional castle." But with many properties in need of renovation, the journey is rarely straightforward. People who have purchased a property at auction, and who are about to renovate the property or have an interesting story about a past renovation (ideally for residential use), are invited to get in touch with Phil or Rachael at property@ The series is a co-production between Little Gem and Knockers TV.

Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution lays bare shocking figures, but it doesn't have any answers
Special educational needs and disabilities – better known in the media these days by the punchy acronym SEND – are a hot topic in education. For a long time considered a marginal issue for disruptive children, the discourse has shifted in recent years as parents have pressured schools into better accommodation for young people with neurodiverse conditions, like autism, ADHD and dyslexia. It is the last of these which has found a champion in the form of TV chef Jamie Oliver, whose crusade on behalf of Britain's dyslexics is captured in a new Channel 4 documentary, Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution. 'I've been doing this for 20 years,' Oliver tells a room full of assembled politicians. 'I've been through 17 heads of education and many, many prime ministers.' He is referring, of course, to his 2004 campaign to reform school dinners, which made him, briefly, the most hated man in Britain's schoolyards. It wasn't just children who critiqued his advocacy: he was accused, too, of being part of a wealthy elite propagating top-down paternalism. And yet for all the political and social change since the start of the millennium, Oliver's televisual persona has remained the same. An approachable Jack the Lad, no controversy seems capable of denting his portfolio career, including countless television shows, wildly successful cookbooks and novels aimed at children, and a restaurant group. And this has all been achieved while struggling with a form of dyslexia that makes reading and writing a challenge for him. 'You're probably better at reading than me now,' he tells his eight-year-old-son. 'And I'm the second biggest author in the country.' And so, donning the same hat he used to eradicate turkey twizzlers from school cafeterias, Oliver sets off to raise awareness of how dyslexic children are being failed. The statistics are worrying: 10 per cent of the population are believed to be dyslexic, and, when rolled up with other neurodiverse conditions, that number rises to 25 per cent. More shocking still is the show's claim that 50 per cent of the prison population is dyslexic, which feels, instinctively, a direct corollary of the fact that 90 per cent of excluded children are neurodiverse. SEND parents – who have become one of Britain's most powerful lobbying groups – will know all of this, but for the lay viewer the figures will be troubling. Equally concerning, however, is the lack of answers. And this is an area where Channel 4 and Jamie Oliver struggle to make inroads. Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution involves much rumination on the current state of play, but the mooted insurrection of the education system is harder to pin down. Earlier intervention seems important (children are not assessed until they are eight, and even then, it is not mandatory), but what then? More training for teachers, similarly, is highlighted, but the nature and application of that training remain elusive. It is no bad thing for Oliver to simply use his platform to raise awareness of an issue, but when you call it a 'revolution', it feels like there should be some clearer glimpse of the promised land. Because, as the show suggests, there is little appetite to throw more money at the education system right now. A room full of Britain's politicians show their support for the endeavour (including Liberal Democrat MP Adam Dance revealing that dyslexia-related bullying caused him to attempt to take his own life as a young person), but commitments remain vague. Education secretary Bridget Phillipson, when she appears, looks like she'd rather be anywhere else. 'Will we be seeing some radical, strategic restructuring of teacher training?' Oliver asks her. She lethargically straight-bats his questions. 'Money alone isn't enough,' she mumbles, perhaps thinking of the multimillion-pound bill left to town councils by the collapse of Oliver's restaurant chain. 'I think we have to reform the system.' But reform, like revolution, is an easy word to say, and a harder one to enact. And so, at the climax of Jamie's Dyslexia Revolution, as a crowd of supporters assemble outside parliament, there's an air of optimism. SEND support has never been higher on the political agenda, and Oliver, one of the most effective agitators in Britain, has played his part in this. But the show mirrors the great challenge of modern politics. It's far easier to identify problems – to point to injustice – than it is to locate their solutions, and, in doing so, initiate the sort of change that a revolution requires.

BRIT Awards 2026 to Be Held Outside London for First Time
The BRIT Awards will move to Manchester in 2026 and 2027, marking the first time the ceremony has taken place outside of London in its nearly-50 year history. Co-op Live, the venue operated by Oak View Group, will host the event on Feb. 28, 2026 and be broadcast live on ITV 1 and ITV X; 2027's date is yet to be confirmed. More from Billboard Oak View Group's Jessica Koravos on Global Goals Following Co-op Live's Rocky Start, Rapid Rise Kylie Minogue Joins Prestigious '21 Club' at London's O2 Arena Kevin Parker Previews New Tame Impala Music During Barcelona DJ Set The 2025 event was held in March at The O2 Arena in London, the ceremony's home since 2012. The BRITs has been held at various venues in the capital including Earl's Court (1996-2011), Alexandra Palace (1993-1995) and The Grosvenor Hotel (1982-1987). The first event in 1977 was held at the Wembley Conference Centre, and the BRITs became a yearly occurrence from 1982 onwards; the 2021 event was the first major event to take place in the U.K. following the outbreak of the COVID pandemic a year prior. 2026 marks the first event of the three-year stewardship under Sony Music U.K.; stewardship rotates between the three major labels, with the BRIT Committee overseeing the show's creative direction. Damian Christian, the managing director and president of promotions at Atlantic Records, a Warner Music subsidiary, served as the chair of the BRIT Committee from 2022-2025. 'Moving to Manchester, the home of some of the most iconic and defining artists of our lifetime, will invigorate the show and build on the BRITs legacy of celebrating and reinvesting in world-class music,' says Jason Isley MBE, chairman and CEO, Sony Music U.K. & Ireland. 'Hosting the show in Manchester, with its vibrant cultural history, perfectly captures the spirit and energy of the BRIT Awards. I can't wait to see the show at the amazing state-of-the art Co-op Live venue.' Despite a beleaguered opening which saw delays and cancellation of shows in April 2024, the Co-op Live has since established itself as a key player in the U.K. live music scene. In 2024, the venue hosted the MTV EMAs, and 2025's live slate includes Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Olivia Rodrigo, Tyler, The Creator and more. The venue's 23,500 capacity makes it the largest indoor arena in Europe. Tim Leiweke, co-founder and CEO of Oak View Group said: 'The BRITs are the most important music event in the UK and were always the highlight of the year, not only because of its immense cultural contribution, but because of their commitment to improving the lives of youth through music. It is our honour to partner with our friends at BPI and Sony Music, alongside the great city of Manchester, to host the BRITs at Co-op Live and join in their mission to create opportunities for youth through music.' The BRIT Awards regularly pulls big name performers, with 2025's ceremony boasting live performances by Sabrina Carpenter, Lola Young, Teddy Swims and Sam Fender. Charli XCX, meanwhile, collected five awards on the night, including album of the year. The move follows the relocation of the MOBO Awards in recent years to Coventry (2021) and Sheffield (2024), and the Mercury Prize which is set to be hosted in Newcastle's Utilita Arena in September 2025.
