Scarlett Moffatt shares tear-jerking message as she proudly lives her dream
Gogglebox star, Scarlett Moffatt, encouraged her followers to 'do something that brings you joy - no matter what' as she realised her dream of becoming a ballroom dancer Scarlett Moffatt has shared a powerful message about body confidence as she made one of her dreams come true. The Gogglebox star, 34, who shot to fame on the Channel 4 show, critiquing telly, sitting on the sofa with her family, shared the love while twirling around in the finals of a ballroom dancing competition. Beaming with pride, sporting a striking neon green gown with a feather trim and jewel-encrusted belt, the mum-of-one told fans they should 'do something that brings them joy - no matter what'. Captioning the clip in which she grins from ear to ear, dancing with her pal from school, sporting a navy jumpsuit, she said: "I've said it once I'll say it a million times. DO NOT let your shape, size or age stop you from doing something that brings you joy. "Don't let that silly inner sabotage voice tell you ya won't be able to do it. Don't tell yourself I'll do it when I'm thinner, when I'm fitter or when a,b or c happens. Do it now!" The I'm A Me Out Of Here! star continued: "I can't tell you how much joy dancing in two finals with my childhood friend has made me this weekend. I was thinking of nothing but the sheer joy that dance brings me, I hope I can encourage one more person to do the same." Her inspiring post went down a storm with her famous friends as many replied, agreeing with Scarlett. Former Strictly star Ian Waite shared: "Love this darling", while It Takes Two host, Janette Manrara, added: "Yes yes yes!!!!" Meanwhile, actress, Emily Atack commented: "Omg obsessed xxxxxx", while Strictly professional Karen Hauer added: "Wooohooo yes babe!!" When Scarlett first joined Gogglebox, she lit up our TV screens with her bubbly persona, Northern charm and sparkling wit. However, as her fame grew after being crowned winner of I'm A Celebrity in 2016, the star struggled to cope with the spotlight, facing a battle with her mental health, which she admitted saw her call Samaritans 20 times. Overwhelmed with the pressures of skyrocketing fame, the TV personality once admitted that she "wanted to disappear" when things were at their worst, but after stumbling across Samaritans on social media when she needed them the most, Scarlett thankfully got the support she needed. Back in 2022, the star backed a government-led campaign urging people to be "kind to their mind", as The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) had found that 7 in 10 Brits experience "Sunday Scaries", a common anxiety that looms ahead of a new week due to work stresses, a lack of sleep and spiralling to-do lists. Speaking to the Mirror about her anxiety, she said: "It doesn't even matter how many years I've been doing this, I still want to perform well. So that anxiety around getting my lines right, and hoping they want to work with me again all start." The TV star, who is engaged to Scott Dobinson, with whom she shares son, Jude, two, said the biggest tip that helps her in any overwhelming moments is reaching out to friends and family for reassurance - even though she didn't used to feel that way. She said: "This has been a gradual thing, but now if I'm ever feeling that way, I reach out to a loved one. That's the opposite of what I used to do. I used to think I don't want to be a burden on anyone, or that I don't want to let anyone down."

Gogglebox's Mary Killen tells husband Giles Wood off over swearing
Gogglebox star Mary Killen gave her husband Giles Wood a mouthful after she discovered that he had scrawled swear words over their calendar. The couple - who have been together for more than 50 years - are both armchair critics on Channel 4's hit TV commentary series. But in the latest episode of the show, Mary was distracted from the small screen offerings as she realised what Giles had been up to. Letting rip, she told him that if they were work colleagues she would "consider this workplace harassment". The episode of the programme which aired on Friday, 30 May was the last in the current series, and included highlights from across the season. In one scene, the couple were perched beside each other in their chairs when Mary spotted some writing on their calendar. "Giles, if you are I were colleagues in the workplace I would consider this workplace harassment," she told him. "Why? What have I done now?" he asked. "You have written swear words all over our communal calendar!" Mary exclaimed. "So what did I write Mary?" he asked, as his wife passed him the calendar to take a look at his handiwork. "You know quite well what you wrote," she replied, looking unimpressed. "OK, shall I read it out?" he asked. "No don't please!" snapped Mary. However, Giles ploughed on, reading "s**** weather, s**** government, s**** country, no point living here, s**** prime minister, s**** chancellor, relocate to Tenerife" as Mary shouted at him to stop.

Mary has previously shared that she has a "zero tolerance policy" when it comes to turning the air blue. She told The Guardian in 2018: "There's so much on telly, I don't want it in my own cottage. Giles swears occasionally because he's always having minor accidents. Our children turn on him and tell him off." Mary and Giles, who met in the 70s when Giles was studying at art school and Mary was a model, joined Gogglebox in 2015. Their first series was series five, and they have just wrapped shooting on season 25. The couple, who live in a thatched cottage in Wiltshire, have two daughters together, but they remain off-screen.

Grand Tour reboot without Clarkson, Hammond and May has rumoured new line-up
The Grand Tour will continue without Clarkson, May and Hammond after a new reboot of the show was confirmed, and now their replacements are rumoured to have been found. A report in The Sun suggests that the new series will be revamped with a younger cast who are popular on social media, claiming that trainspotter Francis Bourgeois and YouTube petrolheads Thomas Holland and James Engelsman will take over. Former Top Gear hosts Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond left the Prime Video car series after five series in the driving seat as their contracts came to an end. But TV industry magazine Broadcast magazine confirmed in August 2024 that a reboot was in the works after Studio Lambert was awarded a contract to 'develop a fresh version' of the show. Read more: Will you watch The Grand Tour without Clarkson, Hammond and May? Studio Lambert are the production company behind hit reality shows The Traitors, Gogglebox and Squid Game: The Challenge. They are said to have to have won the contract after beating rival pitches from Shine TV – who make MasterChef and The Hunted – and recently founded Orchard Studios. Very few details are known about the new format of The Grand Tour. Hammond, May and Clarkson's special Sand Job was their last run, filmed in Zimbabwe in 2023 and aired on Prime Video in 2024. In May 2025, The Sun reported that a new trio had been signed up that would bring a younger, fresher vibe to the show. The newspaper claimed that TV insiders had revealed the revamped cast would feature Francis Bourgeois, Thomas Holland and James Engelsman in place of Clarkson, Hammond and May. Bourgeois, 24, is best known for his popular trainspotting videos on TikTok and Instagram, where he has interviewed celebrities including Louis Theroux and Tom Daley. Canadian car enthusiast Holland launched his Throttle House YouTube channel in 2015 and three years later was joined by British fan Engelsman after they met in Toronto. Throttle House has racked up 3.2million subscribers, meaning that the potential new cast could bring some healthy viewing figures with them. The trio confirmed that they had left The Grand Tour willingly in 2024 after deciding that their time fronting the show had come to a natural end. Hammond told Yahoo UK: "The key thing on that whole issue, [is] we had decided years ago that we wanted to be in control. Having set off on this incredible adventure that none of us thought would ever come our way, we all wanted to be the ones — and I don't just mean us three, all of us— to decide when and where and how we landed it, and we have done." May told the Radio Times in June last year: "I mean, some people have said we've been cancelled. But really we're getting quite close to the end of our contract, but we didn't really have any particular plans to keep going because we're all really just getting a bit old. It might be time to let someone else have a crack at it." Clarkson, May and Hammond rose to fame on BBC show Top Gear before they left in 2015 and signed a deal with Amazon Prime to host a new car show The Grand Tour instead. Clarkson had been suspended by the BBC that year after he punched Top Gear producer Oisin Tymon in an argument over food while filming on location. Top Gear continued with new hosts, but this year the BBC confirmed it had decided to "rest" the show after recent hit Freddie Flintoff quit following his injury while filming in December 2022. The retired cricket player was involved in a high-speed crash in a three-wheeled Morgan Super 3 which does not contain airbags. The TV star was reportedly left with broken ribs and facial injuries after being airlifted to hospital. Flintoff had hosted the show from 2019, along with Paddy McGuinness and Chris Harris. After Clarkson, May and Hammond jumped ship in 2015, it was hosted by TV and radio presenter Chris Evans and Friends star Matt Le Blanc among others. All The Grand Tour series are available to stream on Prime Video.
