Heston Blumenthal, Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall are once again uniting in the name of animal welfare, coming together to host a series of programmes in 2011 entitled ‘The Great Fish Fight’. The chefs, who previously took part in ‘The Great Food Fight’, are supporting a campaign designed to raise awareness about the enormous amount of fish that are discarded and overfished every year in E.U waters. The campaign kicks off with Hugh’s Fish Fight in early 2011 and will include Jamie Oliver’s 10 part series Jamie’s Fish Suppers, in which he will encourage viewers to consider the virtues of the most plentiful species of fish. Heston Blumenthal will host Heston's Fish Feast, in which he creates a "marine cuisine banquet like nothing seen before". Gordon will be looking at the reality of farming the key ingredient for the renowned delicacy shark fin soup, and will actually be swimming with the sharks themselves! You can show your support for the campaign and find out more about it here.

 

It has been ten years since presenter and broadcaster Chris Evans graced our screens on Channel Four. He has decided to return after this lengthy absence with a show powerfully different from Don’t Forget Your Toothbrush, the fast paced, gag-laden game show that helped launch Chris’s television career. The new show, Famous and Fearless, will feature celebrities pitting their wits and muscles against a variety of extreme sports, including BMX biking, street luge and monster trucks, in the hope of winning a cash prize for their chosen charity. Chris commented, ‘Famous and Fearless will be brilliant…Simply a huge, ambitious show with celebrities, monster trucks and an arena crowd, live every night. What's not to like?’. The double Olympic Champion Dame Kelly Holmes has also become the first celebrity contestant to be revealed as taking part in the show

Famous and Fearless will be broadcast live in the New Year.

Dom Joly has been trying to keep up the flagging spirits of the jungle dwellers on I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! with inspiring words of wisdom:

“I’m dressed like a very gay Ray Mears so things could be better.”
“I though Brit Ekland, is that going to be good? Probably not.  Sh*gged Rod Stewart. Never a good sign is it?”
On Brit: “She reminds me of a German school mistress. She might get the ruler out and smack you on the buttocks.”
On Gillian ‘I’m going to be totally kind until she does the usual wussy stuff. If she faints again I’ll kick her.’
