However, TV legend Chris Tarrant has revealed he doesn't plan on entering the jungle. Speaking on the RHLSTP podcast, he shared: "I certainly don't want to do I'm A Celebrity, and every year they ask me. Course I don't. "I've done okay, and I just think 'I really don't want to do that.' "My Mrs was saying to me things like 'Oh darling it would reignite your career'. "The last thing I wanna do is reignite my career, I'm trying to stop!' "I was talking about it cos I sleep rough fishing and stuff. "I could do a lot of that, and I could do maggots and things. "I just couldn't stand the people, I really couldn't.' Last year, Chris revealed he had officially retired after 50 years on-screen. Judith Keppel became the first person to win £1m on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? The broadcast legend's last project was his six series run Extreme Railways on Channel 5. Asked if he had retired, Chris, 78, told The Sun: 'Yes. I've stopped. 'I mean I think lockdown really, you just started to get everything in a bit perspective and I thought, I've done this thing for 50 years. Who has won the jackpot on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Who Wants to Be a Millionaire has offered hundreds of hopeful contestants the chance to become millionaires, but there has only been a handful of lucky winners. There have only been five real winners so far on the show as Charles Ingram, who was the third winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? in 2001, had his claim to the prize thrown out because of cheating allegations. The official winners are... Judith Keppel In 2000, garden designer Judith Keppel made quiz show history as she became the first ever winner of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Judith is also the only woman ever to have won the million-pound prize. David Edwards Former physics teacher David became the second contestant to win the top prize in April 2001. Following his success, Edwards went on to compete in both series of Are You an Egghead? in 2008 and 2009. Robert Brydges Oxford-educated banker Robert became the third Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? champion when he won the quiz show several moths after David in 2001. Robert has stayed out of the limelight since his win. Pat Gibson World champion Irish quiz player Pat won the show in 2004. Amazingly Pat had TWO of his lifelines still available for his final question, something no other winner has managed. Ingram Wilcox Ingram came close to losing on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in 2006 as he had used all his lifelines up at the £32,000 mark, but in a shocking twist he went on to scoop the jackpot. 'You know, I don't need the money, without sounding silly. "So I was thinking, why am I still doing this?' He presented Who Wants To Be A Millionaire from its 1998 launch until 2014. The show returned in 2018, but with Jeremy Clarkson taking over as presenter.

Donald Trump Takes On Late-Night Hosts, Again
This is not the late-night war many of us expected. President Donald Trump has once again waded into the world of late-night talkers, claiming that he was not responsible for the cancellation of CBS' The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, but suggesting that it was related to talent and money. He also, again, suggested that The Tonight Show host Jimmy Fallon and Jimmy Kimmel would also have their shows axed. More from Deadline Donald Trump Celebrates CBS' Cancellation Of Stephen Colbert's 'The Late Show' Trump Celebrity Supporters: Famous Folks In Favor Of The 47th President Samantha Bee Says CBS Cancelling 'Late Show With Stephen Colbert' Was A "No-Brainer": "People Are Just Not Tuning In" 'Everybody is saying that I was solely responsible for the firing of Stephen Colbert from CBS, Late Night. That is not true! The reason he was fired was a pure lack of TALENT, and the fact that this deficiency was costing CBS $50 Million Dollars a year in losses — And it was only going to get WORSE!, the President posted on Truth Social. 'Next up will be an even less talented Jimmy Kimmel, and then, a weak, and very insecure, Jimmy Fallon. The only real question is, who will go first? Show Biz and Television is a very simple business. If you get Ratings, you can say or do anything. If you don't, you always become a victim. Colbert became a victim to himself, the other two will follow,' he added. Whether it's a good sign or not, Seth Meyers, who hosts Late Night for NBC, has been largely kept out of the conversation, despite zeroing in on many of Trump's controversies, including the escalating Epstein drama, in his A Closer Look segment. Kimmel, who is currently on holiday, was first to respond, in part with a dig, and also with a little promotion for one of his side hustles, a new episode of ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire starring his nemesis Matt Damon and Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings. 'I know you're busy Sharpie-ing the Epstein files, but this seems like a weird way to tell people to watch Matt Damon and Ken Jennings on an all-new Who Wants to Be a Millionaire tomorrow night at 8|7c on ABC,' Kimmel replied on Instagram.

After Jeremy, 65 - who she has been dating since 2017 - addressed the fact the couple had "walked away from three crashes over the years", Lisa went into more depth about her experience. Following the Top Gear alum's piece in the Sunday Times, Lisa took to Instagram to post an image of her plane crash wreckage. It showed the Spanish Learjet 25 plane split in two following the impact from the van. In her caption, she explained: "Amazingly the pilots, van drivers and I survived. "I took another flight the same day." Lisa added: "And landed safely." On her next Instagram slide, it was business as usual for the Clarkson's Farm star who uploaded a clip of their "huge" pig Richard Ham. FLIGHT HORROR Amazon Prime star Jeremy recently opened up on the pair's unlucky track record on air travel. He told the Sunday Times: "Whenever Lisa and I board an aeroplane, we are usually pretty confident that it will land safely because between us, we've walked away from three crashes over the years. Jeremy Clarkson's girlfriend Lisa Hogan strips to swimsuit for cold water swim despite weather warning "Both mine involved broken landing gear and were fairly minor but hers was a proper shunt. "She was the only passenger in a Learjet that careered off the end of the runway at Northolt and on to the A40, where it was hit so hard by a van that it split in two. "It's amazing no one was killed and if you google the images, you'll see what I mean. Meet the cast of Clarkson's Farm Clarkson's Farm began streaming in 2021 and follows Jeremy Clarkson and his team managing Diddly Squat Farm in the Cotswolds.

"The upshot is that the law of averages suggests we are unlikely to be involved in any such thing again, which is why we can both enjoy the champagne and the food, and settle smoothly into a state of deep relaxation." LOVE STORY In June 2024, Irish lass Lisa opened up on RTÉ Radio about how she and Jeremy initially started their romance. Lisa said they "met through mutual friends who had tried to set us up a couple of times". The turning point came at a Christmas party, as she explained: "I was just about to leave and we were introduced and he said, 'No, no, come on, sit down and have a chat'. And that was it, really. "So he called me a couple of days later and I thought, 'Ok, you've got a bit of a rep' — so he had to really court me! "He courted me for a solid three months!" She added: "He's very, very good company. And he does make an effort to make me laugh a lot, which I really appreciate. And we do get on." Lisa was married for 30 years to Baron Steven Bentinck before they split in 2011, and shares three children with him — Wolfe, Alice and Lizzy. Lisa built her career in the modelling industry in the 1990s before switching to entertainment and TV. She is best known for appearing in Clarkson's Farm on Amazon Prime Video, where she plays an active role in managing the farm and its shop. Lisa also had somewhat of an acting career, playing a small part in the 1997 movie Fierce Creatures alongside Hollywood royalty — John Cleese, Jamie Lee Curtis and Kevin Kline. She's appeared as herself on shows including Loose Women in 2021, and Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway in 2022. 6 Jeremy and Lisa have been dating since 2017 Credit: Instagram 6 The pair star together on Clarkson's Farm Credit: Arthur Edwards / The Sun

Jeremy Clarkson to host new Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? spin-off
The new show, which will air on ITV, will see contestants sit in a queue around the hot seat, which faces Clarkson and allows the players to answer questions to climb the money ladder, as soon as they get a question wrong contestants are out and the value of the top prize drops. Contestants also have the opportunity to pass and stay in the game, but they will go to the back of the queue – meaning they may not return to the hot seat, where they have to be sitting to win the top prize. Katie Rawcliffe, director of entertainment and daytime commissioning at ITV, said: 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? has reached 18 million viewers on ITV so far this year alone. 'Commissioning a new spin-off format to further capitalise on the brand's success and popularity was a no-brainer, especially with Millionaire Hot Seat already doing so well in other territories also.' The show, which will be produced by Stellify Media in the UK, is already popular in Australia – with more than 2,500 episodes airing. Along with the new spin-off, ITV has also commissioned 19 further episodes of the traditional Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? including seven celebrity specials. A date for the show's release is yet to be announced, but it is expected to air across ITV, ITVX, STV and STV Player. Beginning in September 1998 and originally hosted by Chris Tarrant, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? has seen 40 series up to 2025. The show has made the headlines on a number of occasions, most notably when contestant Charles Ingram won the grand prize – but it was never paid out after he was accused of cheating in an infamous coughing scam, with the story being dramatised in ITV show Quiz.
