Towie star returning to reality TV for first time in four years as she signs big money deal for ITV show
back to reality Towie star returning to reality TV for first time in four years as she signs big money deal for ITV show Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FORMER Towie star is making a return to reality TV after four years away - and fans are set to see a very different side to her. The 39-year-old was one of the original cast members when The Only Way Is Essex launched in 2010. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 3 Jess is returning to TV after a four year break Credit: Getty 3 She and husband William starred in their own show in 2021 in the lead up to their wedding Credit: Instagram 3 The couple welcomed son Presley in 2022 Credit: Instagram But Jess Wright's last TV appearance was in 2021, when she allowed cameras to follow her and husband William Lee Kemp as they prepared for their wedding. And since welcoming son Presley in 2022, Jess has been focusing on being a mum - but now she's ready to make her telly comeback and has signed up for the next series of Cooking With The Stars, The Sun can reveal. An insider told us: 'Jess is finally back on reality TV after four years away - she's worked, obviously, but her most important role was being a mum. 'She's been cooking for her family but has never done a cooking show before so was nervous about signing up.' Despite her temporary break from TV, Jess has had her hands full since becoming a mum. Last year she shared that Presley has Bicuspid Aortic Valve, a congenital heart disease. Jess later shared an update and told how her little boy will need regular check ups going forward. Speaking to The Sun, Jess said: ' "He's good, it's an eight-to-twelve week check up for the foreseeable so it's going to be really tough. "It's been tough but I've had such an amazing response. When we first found out, we kept it to ourselves. "We were kind of grieving the news, which sounds really morbid, but it's something you have to accept and forever know that this is going to be life now.' Jess Wright gives health update on son Presley after rare condition diagnosis - and reveals plans for acting career Earlier this year Jess revealed she'd had a secret breast reduction, confessing she was 'sick of her big boobs'. She told us: 'My recommendation to any girl out there who has lovely boobs to begin with, which I did have, and I still do have, thank God, since having them out – don't have any implants. 'As I've gotten older, I was worried about having foreign bodies in my body. "I just got to the point where I didn't want anything in my body anymore, and if I ever have a daughter, I wouldn't want her to either.'

Fred Siriex dealt major blow as huge TV show axed after two series
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) There may have been an appetite for Fred Sirieix and Emma Willis' jet-setting food show The World Cook – but fans aren't getting another helping. The series, which filmed across locations including Majorca, Italy and Mexico, has been shelved with no plans for a return on Prime Video. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Fred Sirieix and Emma Willis' global cooking contest The World Cook has been axed after two series Show execs opted not to renew the programme for a third season, despite it pulling in a steady stream of viewers since its launch in 2022. A source told me: 'Fans loved watching Emma and Fred on The World Cook and will be gutted it won't be back any time soon. 'It was a major show for both hosts, too, as it was their first foray into presenting for a global streaming channel, with the series going out around the world. It had a great run and everyone who worked on the show was pleased with it, but it felt like it had naturally come to the end of its course.' A spokesperson for the show added: 'Whilst there are currently no plans to begin filming a third series of The World Cook this year, new audiences can still discover the series on Prime Video and fans can revisit and enjoy the episodes released so far.' The telly competition, produced in collaboration with travel firm TUI, saw cooks from 16 nations take on head-to-head kitchen challenges. A likely blow Contestants were then jetted all around the globe to prepare local food from each destination. Although losing the show will likely be a blow, Emma has a second series of Love Is Blind: UK lined up for Netflix, alongside Busted star hubby Matt Willis, and will be back for Cooking With The Stars and The Voice UK. Meanwhile, Fred recently flew solo hosting Tour De Fred on ITV, after his Road Trip series with Gino D'Acampo and Gordon Ramsay was axed.

But first he had the problem of some troubling pigs to solve and that required him to get into their pen - which proves a bit of a problem. Jeremy Clarkson breaks silence on sexy new farmhand Harriet as he confirms 'replaced' Kaleb Cooper's future on show Fortunately after a couple of deep breaths and mighty heave ho Jeremy manages to free himself but not before he gives his sidekick Kaleb Cooper a good laugh. And as viewers will witness when the show returns on May 23, it turns out to be the least of his worries.

Clare's a telly Traitor It didn't take Clare Balding long to commit an act of betrayal on Celebrity Traitors – by defying an order not to talk to host Claudia Winkleman. The sports presenter – who has just filmed the BBC One spin-off in the Scottish Highlands – revealed the pair were not supposed to chat before the cameras rolled. 6 Claire Balding has opened up on her stint on Celebrity Traitors Credit: PA But Clare admitted: 'We travelled up on the same plane. She [Claudia] sidled up to me and said, 'They've told me I'm not allowed to talk to you'. 'I said, 'They've told me the same'. I won't tell you exactly what she said as there are children here, but anyway, she said, 'Stuff that!'. 'She's great, and there are some terrific missions in it. I mean, the production values….
