BBC game show host ‘set to sign’ for Celebrity Traitors as star emerges as frontrunner for first ever all-star edition

CLAUDIA Winkleman is heading back to Ardross Castle for the BBC’s first ever Celebrity Traitors – and it seems she’ll have some familiar faces joining her for the new series. 

BBC game show host Richard Osman has become the unexpected front runner as an insider has teased that he is “set to sign up” for the monumental celeb series.

The Sun revealed in January that a celebrity spin-off of The Traitors was in the works, with filming expected to start in early 2025.

The show was officially confirmed at the Edinburgh TV Festival last week and since then, speculation has been rife about the celebrity line-up. 

Richard, 53, has now emerged as the unexpected front runner for Celebrity Traitors and as insider confirmed he has the skills BBC bosses are looking for. 

They said: “Richard would be a terrific signing. He reckons he knows how to commit the perfect murder, so could surely spot a Traitor from 100 paces or outsmart the others if he needs to?

“He also knows exactly how TV works. Anyone who’s seen him on Pointless or House of Games will know how clever he is. And his claim that he’s no good at lying seems unlikely.”

The former Pointless host previously said that he can’t keep a secret, revealing that he’d been turned down by MI6 in his youth.

“You could not find a worse spy. I would have been terrible. I’m too tall, not bright enough, and if I have a secret, I tell everybody,” he revealed. 

But overlooking his secret keeping abilities, the Cambridge alum has plenty of skills that would serve him well on Celebrity Traitors, such as his ability to listen and observe what’s going on around him. 

Taking about his skills, he said: “I’m good with words and at doing quizzes and I have a good memory, but that’s not intelligence. I’m visually impaired so I see very badly. But it’s meant I’ve had to listen a lot and take in information really well.”

Richard, who currently presents the quiz show House of Games and Pointless Celebrities for the BBC, has put his smarts to good use. 

He is a published author who has written almost half a dozen best-selling murder mystery novels.

His current publishing deal with Penguin reportedly worth ÂŁ10 million and the first instalment of his Thursday Murder Club series is now being turned into a Steven Spielberg movie, starring Helen Mirren, Celia Imrie, Jonathan Pryce and Ben Kingsley.

Additionally, during his career Richard has helped create shows including Deal or No Deal, 8 Out of 10 Cats, and Whose Line Is It Anyway?

If Richard does sign on to Celebrity Traitors, he’ll be in good company as bosses also hope to bring Ricky Gervais back to the BBC to star in their new celebrity spin-off.

Do you have to pay tax on game show winnings in the UK?

Unlike in many other countries, such as the US, HMRC allows cash prizes from competitions and the National Lottery to be tax-free.

However, in order for the money to be seen as from a ‘competition’, there has to be a skill-based element, such as a quiz question, or the option of free entry.

This is why some competitions ask incredibly simple questions that even a five-year-old could answer, as they are trying to get around the requirement to offer a free entry option.

The comedian, 63, is high among the collection of A-listers being targeted for the centrepiece project.

Ricky has been busy of late with his hugely popular stand up series for Netflix.

But the broadcaster hopes he might be convinced to come back to the channel where he shot to global fame for his role in The Office.

A TV insider said: “The Beeb want the crème de la crème of stars for the celeb spin-off, and they ideally have to be incredibly smart, funny, and mischievous — and that’s Ricky in three words.

“Behind the scenes, big names have already expressed their interest in taking part from the moment it was revealed the new version of The Traitors was being made.”

Other stars said to be in the frame for the programme include presenter Jonathan Ross, who has expressed his love for the contest, as well as Courteney Cox, a close friend of host Claudia Winkleman.

But the Beeb has yet to reveal who they want for the show, or whether anybody has been signed up yet.

Watch moment snooker legend John Higgins gets standing ovation for reaching incredible milestone and opponent joins in

JOHN HIGGINS received a standing ovation at the English Open after reaching an incredible career milestone.

The Wizard of Wishaw achieved the feat during his last 16 clash with Mark Allen on Thursday.

His opponent even joined in with the applause of the crowd after Higgins’ heroics.

He has become just the second player ever to reach the milestone, which comes 32 years into his professional career.

Higgins is a four-time world champion with 13 career maximums to his name.

The 49-year-old has also been world number one on four separate occasions.

However, he can now add 1,000 career centuries to his record after a pair of ton breaks against Allen in Essex.

After an earlier 108, Higgins potted the black for a 105 in the fifth frame to reduce his opponent’s lead to 3-2.

The crowd immediately rose to their feet to applaud Higgins, who raised his hand in acknowledgement.

He could also be seen grinning after sitting in his chair, whilst Allen joined the crowd in clapping the Scottish cueist.

CASINO SPECIAL – BEST CASINO WELCOME OFFERS

Higgins is the second player to achieve the feat after Ronnie O’Sullivan.

The Rocket has 1,272 to his name across his illustrious professional career, which also started back in 1992.

The rules of snooker

THE aim of snooker is to clear the table of all balls - and achieving it in an incredible 147 break is the ultimate goal.

The rectangular table features green baize, a baulk line and semi-circle, known as the D.

It has six pockets, four in each corner and two midway down both long sides.

There are 15 red balls which are arranged in a triangular shape.

There are also six colour balls, and the white cue ball.

Each colour sits on its own designated spot at the start of the game.

While red balls are worth one point when potted, the colours all have a different value.

In ascending order these are:

  • Yellow – two points
  • Green – three points
  • Brown – four points
  • Blue – five points
  • Pink – six points
  • Black – seven points

The first player will cue off and must hit at least one of the red balls in the triangle.

If they pot a red, they can then continue by potting a colour.

However, if no red is potted then their opponent will play the next shot – going for a red first.

Each player must first pot a red ball when it’s their turn to play. If nothing is pocketed it is the other player’s turn at the table.

After each red is potted they must then follow with a colour, then a red, then a colour, and so on.

Whilst there are still red balls on the table, the potted colour balls are returned to their designated spot.

Once all the red balls are pocketed, the player at the table must pot the colours in the order as outlined above.

If they miss then their opponent will have the opportunity to clear the table.

A 147 is a maximum break when all reds are potted by one player in one stint at the table.

In order to achieve 147, the player must pot all 15 reds with 15 blacks for 120 points.

They must then clear all the colours, concluding with the black for 27 points.

During play the rules state that the cue must only touch the white cue ball.

The cue ball also must hit the correct colour ball – reds or colours in order.

If it hits the incorrect colour then a foul is called.

If the cue ball fails to hit any ball or is pocketed it is also a foul.

The player’s turn at the table ends if they play a foul shot.

Players are also penalised if they touch any ball on the table with their person.

As well as reaching the 1,000 centuries milestone, the world number 16 also pulled of a stunning double kiss during the fourth frame.

Although he went on to lose 4-3, Higgins was proud of his achievement after the match.

He explained: “It’s a good achievement. I’ve played this game for so long to get to that milestone. You have to be proud of that.

“I’m really proud. To be honest, I wanted to get there before Judd. I thought that I have a 14 year head start on him.

“It is good to be second to Ronnie O’Sullivan, the best ever. Judd will obviously go on and probably eclipse Ronnie’s century record.

Top 5 century makers

  1. Ronnie O’Sullivan – 1,272
  2. John Higgins – 1,000
  3. Judd Trump – 998
  4. Neil Robertson – 948
  5. Mark Selby – 835

“I said to Mark that I was glad it was against an unbelievable player. I wouldn’t have liked it to be out the back on table four against a guy ranked 100. It was great to be on the main stage against him.

“We have shared some unbelievable battles over the years and that was another one.”

World number one Judd Trump could reach the milestone this week and currently sits on 998.

He took to social media to congratulate Higgins, writing on X: “Congratulations to John Higgins for making 1,000 centuries… what a career!!”

The Ace in the Pack faces Wu Yize in the quarter-finals at the Brentwood Centre on Friday.

Meanwhile, Allen’s reward for beating Higgins is a meeting with Chris Wakelin for a place in the last four.

Putin ‘wants Russians to have sex at WORK’ and romp ‘during lunch breaks’ to counter plummeting birth rate

VLADIMIR Putin is telling Russians to start having sex at work in an attempt to counter the plummeting birth rates.

The Kremlin is set to implement a sex-at-work scheme after too many citizens reportedly complained of not having enough time or energy for late night romps.

The plan has been proposed by a health minister after Putin made an urgent demand to increase the number of people having babies.

It will see staff allowed to get it on during their lunch and coffee breaks in peace.

Bosses have even been told to encourage all midday romps.

Russian Doctor Yevgeny Shestopalov is pushing for the scheme to be implemented and sees it as a way to stop “lame excuses”.

He said: “Being very busy at work is not a valid reason, but a lame excuse.

“You can engage in procreation during breaks, because life flies by too quickly.”

Putin has said in the past that “the fate of Russia depends on how many of us there will be”.

Calling the huge push for more babies a “question of national importance”.

Give birth, give birth and give birth again, you need to give birth

Zhanna RyabtsevaRussian MP

Blinkered politician Tatyana Butskaya, 49, has even drawn up a blueprint plan telling Russian employers to coerce women into having babies.

She said:“Large families are becoming the new elite so [regional] governors should report on the birth rate.

“Each employer should look at their workplace, what is your birth rate?

“This is exactly how we should pose this question, we will monitor it.”

The sex-at-work scheme is just one of many initiatives in Russia aimed at women and couples. 

In Moscow, women aged 18 to 40 are being told to attend free fertility checks to assess their “reproductive potential”.

Several regions are even offering students cash rewards if they give birth.

Chelyabinsk is paying any mum under 24 a whopping £8,500 for the birth of their first child. 

Karelia has a similar scheme with them paying £850. 

A number of prominent Putin politicians have been ordering their residents to think about having children from a young age.

Anna Kuznetsova has demanded women should have their first born before they reach 21 so they can go on to have multiple other children.

As MP Zhanna Ryabtseva has echoed similar thoughts saying women should already be thinking about having kids by the time they reach 18.

She said: “Give birth, give birth and give birth again, you need to give birth.”

Russia’s current fertility rate is just 1.5 children per woman.

This is far below the typical rate of 2.1 which most researchers agree is vital to keep up a stable population.

The population of Russia is expected to take a worrying nosedive over the next 25 years.

Projections say the 144 million population Putin controls as of today will drop to under 130 million by 2050.

Critics say Putin’s invasion of Ukraine is to blame for the shrivelling birth rate. 

Almost 640,000 Russian soldiers have been killed since the fighting started in February 2022, according to Ukraine.

This has torn families apart with fathers and husbands yet to return home.

The uncertainties of war are also said to be scaring young couples away from starting a family. 

Who are Putin's children?

THE official number of Vlad's offspring is two, according to the Kremlin.

These are a pair of daughters, Maria Vorontsova, 39, and Katerina Tikhonova, 37.

Both come from his previous marriage to ex-first lady Lyudmila Putina.

Their marriage lasted 30 years, spanning Mr Putin’s rapid rise to the top of Russia’s political system.

Tikhonova started as an acrobatic dancer in her younger years before she went on to spearhead a major new Russian artificial intelligence initiative.

Vorontsova has built a career in medical research, is an expert on dwarfism and married to a Dutch businessman, Jorrit Faassen.

But, independent journalists recently confirmed Putin has a number of other hidden children.

Two sons, Ivan, nine and Vladimir, five, have reportedly grown up with the tyrant and his longterm lover Alina Kabaeva, 41.

They have already confirmed another daughter, Luiza, 21, born from an extra-marital relationship with a cleaner turned millionaire.

Xbox reveals that Bethesda’s new September release is available for free on launch day but there’s a catch

SEPTEMBER has been the most packed month of the year for gaming, but it’s not over just yet.

While we take in the final few days, there are still plenty of big hitters to end off the month.

Shattered Space is Starfield’s first big expansion[/caption]

Not only that but people have already started prepping their wallets for October, which is set to be even bigger.

With all that said, gamers are looking for a bargain, ways to keep up to date with the latest releases without paying that new game price tag.

That’s where Xbox is stepping in, with the chance to play Bethesda’s upcoming story as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and PC.

Xbox has come under fire recently for the decision to increase the price of Xbox Game Pass and to remove one of its better value tiers.

Game Pass for Console has been replaced with Game Pass Standard, which includes online play, but removes access to day-one releases.

Around 50 games have been removed as part of the swap to the new service, giving poor value to those who love single-player games.

Among the games that were lost in the shuffle is Xbox’s biggest exclusive of 2023, Starfield.

However, if you’re an Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, or Xbox Game Pass for PC subscriber, you can still take advantage of the upcoming release.

Starfield: Shattered Space will launch on Monday, September 30, 2024, and is the first of two major expansions for the game.

The story expansion focuses exclusively on the planet of Va’ruun’kai, which means it’s very different from the base game’s focus of interplanetary exploration.

Bethesda has suggested that it will be a very narrative-focused DLC, meaning that there will be lots of story beats to enjoy.

While gameplay is focused around one planet, that doesn’t mean you will be stuck for things to do as Bethesda has promised more than 50 locations to explore.

It’s unclear whether you will need to have completed Starfield in order to dive into the Shattered Space DLC, but the base game is also included with Game Pass Ultimate and PC subscriptions.

If you want to play the DLC on the day that it is released, then all you have to do is navigate to Starfield’s store page on the Microsoft Store.
