Huge radio DJ 'becomes latest star to sign up for Celebrity Great British Bake Off' alongside Molly-Mae Hague, JoJo Siwa and Babatunde Aleshe
One of radio's biggest stars has reportedly signed up for the next celebrity version of The Great British Bake Off. Edith Bowman is set to test her culinary skills in the famous tent for the upcoming Stand Up To Cancer special, according to The Sun. The radio and TV personality, 51, is the latest star rumoured to be taking part, alongside Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa, with sources claiming she is expected to do very well. A TV insider told the publication: 'Edith always goes down a treat with viewers. She's warm, enthusiastic and a lot of fun, and show bosses are delighted to have her on board. 'Her radio day job sees her juggling lots of different things all at once so it should stand her in good stead when she films her episode in the tent.' 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. Edith recently opened up on her ability to 'keep lots of plates spinning' as she admitted staying relevant in the entertainment industry is a constant battle, with the pressure of having '50 people' always chasing your job. She told The Sun in April: 'I try to keep lots of plates spinning so that when one door shuts I'm kind of kicking through another and I can get in there, I'm terrible at saying no, and I don't do myself any favours in terms of how much workload I put on myself. 'But I love what I do and I know there's another 50 people there who can do as good a job and that they can pick up that opportunity, so I feel I've got to make the most of it while I can.' Last year, it emerged Edith's three-year stint presenting the BBC Hogmanay show has ended, with 32-year-old Amy Irons taking her place. It followed the Scottish star also being replaced by Shereen Cutkelvin, 27, as the host of the network's TRNSMT Festival coverage during the summer. The DJ has previously spoken about being 'edged out' by Radio One and how she felt 'let down' when her weekday afternoon slot was moved to the quieter weekend breakfast show in 2009. She said: 'Lies and deceit are extremely strong words, but the discussions I'd been having with my boss were very far from what I was told in the meeting.' Edith will reportedly join Molly-Mae, as she makes 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. While 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.'

Stunning Celtic is possible insists Aberdeen 1990 hero as he relives penalty drama and Edith Bowman joining the party
Irvine was the unlikeliest of spot kick heroes for the Dons the last time they lifted the cup - and while a repeat against Celtic next weekend looks an even longer shot the Pittodrie Hall of Famer isn't writing his old side off. If you're only going to hit one penalty in a 21-year professional football career then it might as well be one to win the Scottish Cup. Brian Irvine isn't wrong. The big defender became the most unlikely of spot kick heroes for Aberdeen in 1990 when his penalty - the 20th of a mentally exhausting shoot out - flew past Celtic goalkeeper Pat Bonner to seal the Dons' seventh triumph in the competition. Incredibly, 35 years later, he is still the last player to net a winner for the Pittodrie club in the cup they won five times between 1982 and 90. Dons Hall of Famer Irvine will turn 60 next Saturday, the same day that Aberdeen will again look to dump the Hoops in the Hampden showpiece. No matter what he has in store for his big birthday it's unlikely to match the party he sparked with the most famous strike of his life. A shindig that journeyed from Mount Florida to Union Street - via Fife where a school-aged Edith Bowman took centre stage in the celebrations. Yes, that Edith Bowman. Maybe it's written in the stars that Irvine should mark his 60th with a dose of history repeating itself. Not for one minute is he writing off Jimmy Thelin 's side as they look to emulate the class of 90, despite the odds being stacked heavily against them. Fate certainly was on his side on that roasting hot afternoon on May 12, 1990. Irvine has no shame admitting he was the last outfielder left to step up for Alex Smith's side for a reason. But after Theo Snelders dived to his left to save Celtic's 10th kick from Anton Rogan it was teed up for the big centre half to win the cup for the team he's supported his whole life. And recalling the moment that ended the first ever Scottish Cup Final penalty shoot out, Irvine told Mail Sport: 'I never took penalties. History will show that in 21 years I took one and scored one. It just so happened to be the one to win the Scottish Cup. Not bad! 'I didn't have the confidence because as a school boy I missed a few. Even young Graeme Watson went before me. I spoke to him on the halfway line that afternoon and he said he was confident because he took them all the time in training at Seaton Park. 'I said, well this is a big difference from Seaton Park.. but on you go. Of course the penalties kept going in. The players before me had real pressure because they were all scoring to keep us in the cup. 'To be honest, if Rogan had scored his meaning I had to score to avoid defeat, then I could have missed. The nerves would have got to me. 'Big Theo made an unbelievable save and then I had the privilege of hitting the winning kick. But Theo's save won it for us. 'Was I an unlikely hero? That's totally fair, I would agree with that. 'I thought I'd done my job by keeping a clean sheet It was about someone like Charlie Nicholas to score a goal and win the game. 'When it went to sudden death in penalties, that's when you realise 'oh, I could still be involved here'. 'Big Alex McLeish took one, Stuart McKimmie next, then Davie Robertson, young Graham.. then it was me. 'When I saw Pat Bonner diving the wrong way it was brilliant. 'I looked up and saw all the Aberdeen fans celebrating. 'I was just a one of them on the pitch. To get the opportunity to be a fan on the pitch wearing the strip and then score a cup winning penalty was special. The emotion that day was through the roof. 'I turn 60 next Saturday and I've still no idea if I will go to the game or if we will do something at home. But it would be nice to see Aberdeen end the wait to bring the cup back up the road.' Irvine now splits his working week between his job as a stock room operations assistant for Marks and Spencer in Inverness, a care support worker and an ambassadorial role for the Dons. Thirty five years ago he was the pride of Pittodrie. He said: 'We went back overnight to the Craw's Nest in Anstruther. The wives and players stayed overnight and had a celebration. 'I always remember the owners were Edith Bowman's mum and dad. 'She was just a young girl. But she was confident because she was up on the stage singing and leading the band and the dance. 'We should have known then that she would go on to become a famous DJ! 'The next day was an open top bus parade down Union Street. 'The fantastic thing is that I went to the street parade in 2014 when they were coming back with the League Cup and it just felt as special standing in the street waving at the bus as a fan.' Should Thelin's side deny Celtic a Treble next weekend it would go down as a far bigger upset than 1990. Brendan Rodgers' champions are 1/7 on with some bookies. But Irvine said: 'It's a cliche but on paper they might not have much of a chance but football is not played on paper. 'On the day if Celtic play well, you'd expect Celtic to win. But there is always a chance. Aberdeen took them to penalties in last season's semi final and drew again at Parkhead this season. 'Aberdeen have come close a few times in finals against the Old Firm. 'The great thing in the build up is you get the same right to think you're going to win it as any Celtic fan. 'Maybe this is the year somebody takes my honour of being the last Aberdeen player to score the winning goal in as Scottish Cup Final. I'd like that.' 1990 teams: Aberdeen: Snelders, McKimmie, McLeish, Irvine, Robertson, Mason (Watson), Grant, Bett, Connor, Nicholas, Gillhaus. Unused sub: Jess. Celtic: Bonner, Wdowczyk, Elliott, Whyte, Rogan, Stark (Galloway), Grant, McStay, Miller, Walker (Coyne), Dziekanowski.

Tom Cruise Wants to Star in a Musical for His Next Movie Role
Tom Cruise has a surprising plan for his next movie role. Fans have become used to seeing the Mission Impossible actor in action movies, performing death-defying stunts. However, it appears that the acting legend wants to go in a new direction with his next big role. Cruise made the revelation to London television presenter Edith Bowman on Sunday, May 11, 2025, according to People. He revealed he wants to star in a musical, although that doesn't mean he will give up starring in other film genres. Tom Cruise singing may not make sense at first, but he seemed emphatic about the idea. And he's done it before. Cruise starred in the musical Rock of Ages in 2012. "Definitely a musical. Absolutely, musicals," the actor told Bowman, according to People. "You know, dramas, action adventures. It's endless. My goals are endless." According to The Hollywood Reporter, Cruise already learned to sing for Rock of Ages, where he played a rocker. 'The first thing we had to find and discover is what is my voice and what is the voice of the character,' Cruise said at the premiere, according to THR. 'It's not just learning how to sing, I trained for five hours a day for many months, but it was also — in singing you have opera, you have pop, you've got Broadway, and then you've got rock. So it was finding out what is that rock voice and then kind of work on the behavior and the wardrobe from that.' Cruise learned to sing from Glee's Adam Anders. 'Scary as h***,' Anders told THR of teaching Cruise to sing. 'I went over to his house to hear him sing and I didn't know what to expect at all,' he said, according to THR. 'He started singing and he didn't know what he was doing, but his voice was unbelievably powerful and he could sing as high as he wanted to. I was like 'We're good! Now we just gotta work.''
