In 2021, Pointless fans had to come to terms with the fact that change is the only constant in this crazy, crazy world when the show’s co-creator and co-host Richard Osman left to pursue other career opportunities such as being an incredibly successful crime novelist, and taking the main seat on his own game show Richard Osman’s House of Games.
Good for Richard Osman, it all seems to be very going well for him. But for Pointless?
Taking its cue from satirical current affairs show Have I Got News For You?, which settled on a revolving carousel of guest hosts when its regular host Angus Deayton was forced to step down instead of plumping for a permanent chair, Pointless has welcomed a series of co-hosts in the past couple of years.
First up were Sally Lindsay, Stephen Mangan, Lauren Laverne, Alex Brooker, Konnie Huq and Ed Gamble. Next came Andi Oliver,...

“Bird Box Barcelona” remained the most-watched film worldwide on Netflix, even as “The Out-Laws” and the newly released “They Cloned Tyrone” dominated the Top 10 English film chart for the week of July 17. Read on for this week’s analysis.
Normally, Netflix’s English language films have the biggest audiences across the globe on a weekly basis, but with 19 million views, “Bird Box Barcelona” was the most-watched film in much of Latin and South America, as well as Spain and ten other European countries, plus a good portion of Asia as well.
Because of that, the “Bird Box” prequel ended up faring better than the #1 English language film, “The Out-Laws,” starring Adam Devine, Nina Dobrev, Pierce Brosnan and Ellen Barkin, which continues to be quite popular with 12.1 million views last week. “The Out-Laws” was in the Top 10 for 93 countries, but only #1 in four European countries, as well as Israel.

The Masked Singer has unveiled yet another celebrity hiding underneath an extravagant costume.
On Saturday (28 January), Pigeon was revealed to be Katherine Ryan.
The comedian and actor gave a total of three performances in the bird disguise, styled with a cardigan, pearls and a handbag with cats printed on the outside.
Ultimately, the judging panel chose not to keep her in the competition on the latest episode after her rendition of the Cheryl hit, “Fight For This Love”.
Before the unmasking, guesses for Pigeon’s identity included Emily Atack, Gemma Collins and Stacey Solomon.
When Ryan eventually revealed herself, the audience and the judging panel applauded and appeared shocked.
“That accent was so good!” said a stunned Davina McCall, referring to the Canadian comic’s use of a Cockney accent to disguise her own voice.
Discussing the inclusion of a cauliflower and mint sauce in her video package, Ryan said:...

Noel Gallagher has offered his thoughts on the ongoing debate surrounding “nepo babies”.
The term is given to children of celebrities who are accused of getting a leg up in their respective industries due to nepotism, thanks to their famous or well-connected parents.
Gallagher, however, who has a daughter and two teenage sons, doesn’t think it’s the “worst thing”.
“It depends which way you look at it,” said Gallagher while chatting to Dave Berry on Absolute Radio Breakfast this morning (Tuesday 17 January).
“My daughter, she follows me around with a camera and she films me and all that. She did a film about the making of the album,” he explained.
“I guess you want to keep things close to home, but they have to be good at what they do. She’s good at what she does. She’s not just wandering around pointing a camera going ‘muhh...

Former Jackass star Bam Margera has reportedly been rushed to hospital with a “very serious” case of pneumonia.
The stunt performer and skateboarder is reported to have tested positive for Covid while in hospital, and is currently on a ventilator.
A report inTMZ citing “sources close to the situation” claims that Margera is currently undergoing treatment in the ICU of a San Diego hospital.

Ant and Dec have confirmed the reason they were forced to pull out of hosting duties for the new spinoff of Britain’s Got Talent.
The British duo were originally expected to present the new ITV talent show, Britain’s Got Talent: The Ultimate Magician.
However, a spokesperson for the series told MailOnline on Wednesday (12 October) that the two were “unable to film” after having become “unwell”.
Instead, they have been replaced by magician Stephen Mulhern.
A representative for the pair later informed The Sun that “Ant and Dec have tested for Covid and unfortunately have both tested positive” and “will be postponing work commitments whilst they recover”.
This also means that Ant McPartlin, 47, and Dec Donnelly, 46, will no longer be in attendance at Britain’s 27th National Television Awards on Thursday (13 October).
Up against Alison Hammond, Bradley Walsh and Graham Norton, the duo are, once again, in the running for the TV presenter award,...

Banijay Rights Builds South Korea ‘Lego Masters’ Deal
Hit entertainment format Lego Masters is to become South Korea’s first non-Korean unscripted format to air on free-to-air TV in the country as network Mbc seals a deal with distributor Banijay Rights. The format, which sees pairs compete against each other on lego challenges, originated on Channel 4 in the UK and airs on Fox in the US, will be remade by Seoul-based production company B&c Content. Created by UK indie Tuesday’s Child, the show launched quietly in the UK but has since sold to 16 international broadcasters across Europe, the US, Australia and Asia.

Sophie Hinchliffe, or Mrs. Hinch, as she’s usually referred to, is a social media influencer who’s taken the world by storm. Credited with changing how we see our daily chores, she’s managed to elevate the boring business of housework to a whole new status. Her legion of fans (the “Hinch Army”) have lapped up her cleaning tips to the extent she’s now as big a household name as the cleaning products she endorses. With the news just out that the domestic goddess will be teaming up with Stacey Solomon to release a line of kid’s jumpers and t-shirts for charity,

In the genus of UK gameshow hosts, Richard Ayoade defies sub-categorisation. He’s not a Blood-Drinking Reptilian Overlord (Chris Tarrant, Noel Edmonds, Eamonn Holmes), nor is he Someone Who Would Be Driving A Foxtons Mini If They Weren’t On TV (Patrick Mulhern, Davina McCall, Paddy McGuinness, Vernon Kay). He’s not a Barrymore, a Bowen or a Les Dennis, and neither is he a Grandad Who 100% Killed Someone In The War (William G. Stewart, Des Lynam, Bruce Forsyth).

The X Factor is well and truly under way, and we've been keeping an eye on everything that's been going on...
When is The X Factor on TV?
The show kicked off on August 29 - and in fact, in an attempt to avoid any clashes with Strictly Come Dancing, ITV bosses have unveiled the full schedule right from the off, so we know everything that's coming. You can get a proper look at it here, but auditions continued until Saturday, September 19 with Boot Camp kicking off on September 20. That was the first of five boot camp shows - two set in a country house, and then three episodes of the dreaded Six Chair Challenge. They were all on Sundays, to avoid the Rugby World Cup, but then Judges' Houses aired on October 24 and October 25... and the first big live show will kick off on October 31. And the grand final? It's set for Sunday,...

The X Factor knows how to create drama. From the blast of 'O Fortuna' as Simon Cowell and his buddies enter the stage, to former voiceover man Peter Dickson hamming it up, they've got the atmosphere nailed.
One of the most exciting elements of the show will always be the big Sunday night eliminations, especially if the dreaded Deadlock comes into play. Most of the time, the judges get it right, but sometimes there are downright shocks. Here are the biggest to date, brought to you in association with TalkTalk's new Bopheads app:
1. Laura White (series 5)
Wigan lass Laura was tipped for X Factor success in 2008's early stages, but found herself in a tough girls group with the public's favourite indie fairy Diana Vickers and future victor Alexandra Burke. Even so, no-one expected her to leave as early as the fifth week, especially with Ricky Gervais lookalike Daniel Evans still knocking around.

Stacey Solomon will help the public - specifically some if its more dishonest members - to find love in brand new show I Lied for Love.
The programme is being developed by Channel 4 Formats, with the plan being for Solomon to present it on Channel 4's sister channel E4.
The series will feature people who have faked their dating-site profiles to find love.
Taking those who have exaggerated their qualities, edited photos, or just outright lied to get a date, Solomon will help turn their dating-site persona into reality before meeting an online suitor face to face for the first time.
Dating shows are a popular staple for Channel 4, with the wonderfully awkward First Dates seeing a huge surge in applications when it returned to our screens a few weeks ago.
It also isn't Solomon's first time presenting a dating show, having previously paired with Chris Moyles...

Ever get a feeling of déjà vu while you're watching The X Factor? That's because after 11 series and hundreds of contestants, the live shows have seen a whopping 728 tracks performed so far. But like a wedding DJ reaching for his failsafe party anthems CD, the top five most popular songs have been dusted off and rolled out over 33 times between them.
Our geeky rules state that we're counting all live show performances and group songs, but not repeat performances from the same act in the same series.
=5. 'Feeling Good': 6 performances
Performed by: Beverley Trotman, Rachel Hylton, Stacey Solomon, James Arthur, Rebecca Ferguson, Andrea Faustini
Made famous by Nina Simone, this classic usually pops up in the traditional 'Big Band Week', and is a good excuse for an act to show off their sultry side. Stacey had a go with Michael Bublé in 2009, while Andrea tried out a more powerhouse version last year.

Stacey Solomon has admitted that she has no idea what happened to end her romance with Steve-o.
Solomon met the Jackass star while they were both taking part in Channel 4's The Jump earlier this year, but the pair later ended their relationship.
She has now told Digital Spy that she doesn't know why the romance came to a close, explaining that Steve-o was already out in the States.
"I really don't know – you'll have to ring him and ask him," she said. "He probably has a better insight than me – I don't have any answer, that's the genuine truth."
But Solomon explained that she's happy being single, saying: "I was super happy before [him] so I've got to stick with it this time. I've really got to not let my guard down! I'm super happy. I love being independent, I love being with just me and the boys and my family and friends,...

Speaking to Digital Spy, Solomon pointed out that lots of people are still tuning in for the singing competition.
"When they say [the ratings are] not great, come on - it's still millions and millions of people," she said. "And then also it's summer, everyone's on holiday still - everyone will come back and it will be cold and Christmassy and there will be more people than own TV sets tuning in."
She added: "I think it's absolutely fine. We get this every year don't we? 'Ooh, not as many people are tuning in,' and then three weeks later a billion people are watching."
Solomon added that she's still a big fan of the show, saying: "I love when it comes on. It gives me the best nostalgic feeling ever.

It's been 18 years since Alan Partridge first mooted the notion of Youth Hostelling with Chris Eubank - and as of last week, the project is a dream no longer.
Eubank's team-up with Hostelworld is, of course, a deliberate tip of the hat to Steve Coogan's comic creation - but too often the telly schedules are plagued with examples of #AccidentalPartridge.
Behold, 12 shows that sound like they sprang straight from Alan's fertile mind - this little lot are on a par with Inner City Sumo or Arm Wrestling with Chas 'n' Dave.
1. Flockstars
Celebrity shepherding - Lesley Joseph goes from Birds to sheep and Fazer from N-Dubz lends livestock some street cred.
No-one makes a pun on Amanda Lamb's name, though. Missed opportunity.
2. Gordon Behind Bars
"Cooking in prison" was a format that Alan Partridge actually pitched to Tony Hayers, but it took foul-mouthed foodie Gordon Ramsay to make it a reality.

Stacey Solomon and Steve-o have split up. The 25-year-old British singer and the 41-year-old 'Jackass' star - who met six months ago while competing on Channel 4's winter sports competition 'The Jump' - have parted ways as they found it hard to maintain a long-distance relationship, with Steve-o touring the Us constantly while Stacey lives in Essex.

The X Factor wrapped up filming on its auditions yesterday, and you know what that means - the show's even closer to being back! And boy, what a treat we're in for if these previous auditions are anything to go by.
The audition stages always throw up some weird and wonderful acts, so we've collected just 13 of the best (and most bonkers) that remind us why we're so excited about The X Factor's return...
1. George Gerasimou (and Dermot telling him off)
Where do we even start? This is one of our favourite auditions ever. It starts off on a positive note as George explains that he has grown up since his awful try-out with Triple Trouble - but then as soon as Gary calls an early stop to the music, George kicks off big time, snarling all the while, and his mate joins him on stage to back him up.

The Jump has reportedly been renewed for a third series by Channel 4.
The dangerous winter sports show will be back next year to test another batch of brave celebrities after the last run averaged 2.3m viewers.
The last series of the show, which is hosted by Davina McCall, saw Joey Essex ski to triumph in a surprise victory over Mike Tindall and Louise Hazel.
But the show has also become notorious for injuries thanks to the dangerous sports involved, with Ola Jordan and Sally Bercow both pulling out of the competition last year before it had even started.
Still, it wasn't all bad news, as unlikely couple Steve-o and Stacey Solomon met on the slopes of Austria during filming for the show.
"With The Jump we've created a show that is a unique blend of daring live action, genuine sporting skill and some raucous après ski – it's the most frightening show on TV,...

Tonight's third round of Britain's Got Talent audiences saw singing nuns, extreme hula hooping and another slam of the Golden Buzzer.
But it was Simon Cowell's introduction to Princess the dog hypnotist that left one question on everybody's lips - "Simon Cowell wasn't hypnotised by a dog…. was he?!"
Digital Spy rounds up Twitter's thoughts about tonight's episode:
Matthew the musical nun opened the show to lots of buzzing
At what point do you sit down and decide that dressing as a nun and sitting on a moving piano is your calling in life? #bgt

Virtually Famous is back! Yep, the E4 panel show about all things online - hosted by Glee star Kevin McHale - is here for another series of naughtiness and funny moments (and team captains Chris Stark and Seann Walsh, too).
To celebrate, we caught up with Kevin to chat about picking on Chris, his love of Stacey Solomon, and zit-popping fetishes...
So, are you still picking on Chris in the new series?
"It's just gotten worse! I really feel bad. It was just one of those things where last series he was just so nice and so sweet about everything and literally asked to get punched in the stomach by a boxing champion. And so I just think, not just with Chris but with the entire series, they're trying to just freak everyone out more than they did last year. So poor Chris – I can see in his eyes he's like,...

Stacey Solomon gets ''embarrassed'' when she talks about Steve-o. The former 'The X Factor' contestant has confessed she doesn't like going into too much detail about her new romance as she doesn't know whether it'll work out with her 'The Jump' co-star because he lives in Los Angeles while she lives in Essex. She said: ''I have no idea how it happened - I get really embarrassed [talking about it]. We're just seeing how it goes at the moment. I remember feeling like this independent woman who was like, 'No! I don't want to be with anybody, stay away.' ''My focus is...
