2026 kicks off with a hot topic: we're talking soup with comedian, writer, podcaster and TV presenter Justine Stafford.

Soup! With Justine Stafford

In a departure from our normal programming, we ask each other when was the last time we did a variety of things. Hugh's seen enough acorns, Áine's getting some serious wind shear, and Michael's been eating up the cucumbers

When was the last time you...  

Hugh preferred WWI, no prison can hold Michael, and Will is SUUUUUUCH a Neville Chamberlain

World War II

It's the LL Christmas party. Áine has found an old board game, Hugh is feeling blue, Will thinks we'd be a good SEAL team, and Michael hasn't catered for vegetarians. 

Secret Santa

Our starter for this season is sushi. Thanks for tuna-ing in. Will outs a lot of belly buttons, Áine imagines life as a British estate agent and Michael muses about a new addition to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Sushi. It's just the way we roll.

I'm A Celeb's Tom Read Wilson on Katharine Hepburn

The bugs that are Áine and Will crawl all over the body of Tom Read Wilson. With I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2025 in full swing, we’re diving back into our gloriously funny chat with the ever-charming Tom Read Wilson. In this beloved episode, Tom talks about his poetry books, his musings on the golden era of Hollywood, Amelia Bloomer's knickers, erections, and even his surprisingly serene thoughts on being buried. Learn a a little more about the loveliest man in the jungle.

I'm A Celeb's Tom Read Wilson (the most charming man in the jungle)

In our season finale, Will orders a macchiato, Hugh thinks James Joyce was disgusting, Áine runs in some Birkenstocks and Michael's been wrong about insects.

Gardening: from Alan Titchmarsh to TikTok plant girls and Trad Wives

No need to wait til 2025 is over to decide whether it's been a good year. We're calling it...
