Paul Hollywood branded Gemma Collins’ attempt at a showstopper on The Great Celebrity Bake Off“appalling”.
The Only Way is Essex star was one of the contestants on the Stand Up To Cancer charity edition of Bake Off on Sunday (26 March), where she appeared alongside Jessica Hynes, Tim Key and Aj Odudu.
In the showstopper round, the competitors were asked to recreate the earliest childhood experience they can remember in a choux pastry form, with Collins opting to encapsulate her memory of her mum buying a pair of fluffy mules for her from Woolworths.
Beginning the challenge, the reality star said that she was “putting a lot of effort” into her sculpture, adding: “I’m getting that apron if it kills me.”
After piping “that fluffy mule that changed my life and got me into showbiz”, however, the pastry emerged from the oven flat, while the pistachio and rose ganache was overly wet.

Evanna Lynch said: “I’m here to do the abseil challenge for Humane Society International, which does a lot of amazing work to help end the fur trade and dog meat trade.

For the first time, stars of multiple reality shows on numerous networks are coming together for a new competition series. “All Star Shore,” produced by MTV Entertainment Studios, is set to premiere on Paramount+ on June 29.
The show includes cast members from ABC’s Bachelor Nation, Netflix’s “Love Is Blind,” MTV’s “Jersey Shore,” “Geordie Shore,” “Acapulco Shore” and “Rio Shore;” VH1’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” and CBS-turned-Peacock’s “Love Island.”
The cast will live “at the ultimate shore hose” in the Canary Islands and compete in party-style challenges, including “Party Pong” and “Shots and Found,” battling for a cash prize.
The show is the just one way Paramount+ is expanding its reality TV lineup. In February, the streaming service where “The Challenge: All Stars” and “The Real World Homecoming” live, announced that multiple more seasons of “The Challenge” are coming, including spinoffs in Argentina, Australia and the U.

Exclusive: ABC is getting into the unscripted true-crime space.
The Disney-owned network has ordered Who Do You Believe? From All3Media-owned producer Lime Pictures.
The series uses simultaneous storytelling to take viewers through compelling true crime cases from dual perspectives. In each episode, the audience steps into the shoes of two contrasting narratives to hear the recounts directly from the victims and criminals with never-before-revealed details. Then the viewer plays armchair detective to deduce and piece together different versions of the truth. There are two sides to every story – and there’s no telling how far one would go for their marriage, child, or way of life.
Within this new storytelling format, the adjudicated cases culminate with a surprise reveal: “Who Do You Believe?”
Alex Weresow, who exec produced Leah Remini: Scientology and the Aftermath and also worked on series including Undercover Boss and Wife Swap, serves as showrunner.

Inspired by U.S. teen dramas such as “Gossip Girl,” “Made in Chelsea” was originally conceived in 2011 as a reality TV series chronicling the lives of wealthy 20-somethings in one of London’s most upmarket districts.
Ten years and 22 seasons later, the show — which airs on Channel 4’s digital channel E4 in the U.K. and on streamer hayu in the U.S. — has acquired soap status among audiences young and old, who still tune in to watch cast-members (many of whom are now 30-somethings) as they grapple with not only make-ups and break-ups but also weddings, childbirth and even death.
“The show started off being about dating and friendship — that is its foundation — but it’s about a whole lot more now basically,” says David Granger, an executive producer on “Made in Chelsea” and co-founder of Monkey Kingdom, which makes the show.

During the middle of the pandemic, Kinetic Content scored a six season renewal for Married At First Sight at Lifetime – thought to be one of the largest ever orders.
It came a few months after the Red Arrow-backed company had found success with social experiment/dating format Love Is Blind at Netflix – a show that also got a bumper two season renewal. It’s been over ten years since former Rdf USA and UTA alternative and international chief launched Kinetic, which also previously produced The Taste at ABC and Betty White’s Off Their Rockers at NBC.
“I feel great about the future. I’m probably as bullish about where we are as a company as I’ve ever been, especially coming through the other side of the pandemic, knock wood, we’re teed up for some really exciting things,” founder and CEO Chris Coelen told Deadline.

Following allegations from actress Rachel Adedeji about the treatment of black cast members on Hollyoaks, Vas J Morgan has raised questions about his treatment on ITV scripted reality show The Only Way Is Essex.
In an Instagram post, Morgan accused the show of “systematic racism,” highlighting how he was treated differently to white cast members and pointing out that he has been Towie‘s only regular black male cast member in 10 years.
He said: “While I have always been proud to be one of the only black and gay reality TV stars on British television, I have often felt conflicted over the way I was treated and the way I was portrayed.

Donald Trump can breathe a sigh of relief: Stormy Daniels, the porn star he is alleged to have had an affair with, has not entered Celebrity Big Brother in the UK.
Daniels was understood to have been the star turn in the latest season of the British reality series. However, despite reportedly flying to the UK and agreeing on a fee with the Viacom-owned broadcaster, Daniels, real name Stephanie Clifford, did not enter the Big Brother house.
According to reports, Daniels arrived for preliminary taping sessions for the show, which is produced by Endemol Shine’s Initial, but refused to enter the house after failing to agree to terms. Reports suggested that she initially had agreed a fee of close to $1M to appear on the monthlong shoot before backing out of that deal and agreeing to a lower amount of $250,000 to stay for one week.
Channel 5 declined to comment on Daniels’ non-appearance.

Now as Secretary of Defense, he’s in a position to something, he can find out what really happened and hopefully he really will.”
House 2 tells the story of a criminal defense attorney and an NCIS special agent turned whistleblower who seek to exonerate a Marine charged with 18 counts of murder in Haditha, Iraq, and, in so doing, uncover the truth about one of the furthest-reaching cover-ups in U.S. military history.

Jesy Nelson has turned to music to cope with her break-up from Chris Clark.
The 25-year-old singer recently split from the TV star and after returning from Little Mix's Us tour this week, Jesy has been finding comfort in her love of music.
