Ant and Dec: new deal will keep them at ITV until 2007



Ant and Dec's latest exclusive deal - the third they have signed with ITV - will keep them at the network until the end of 2007.

The pair, who have been exclusively signed to ITV since 2000, front two of the channel's most successful entertainment shows, Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway and I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here!

Saturday Night Takeaway returns to ITV1 tomorrow night, and Ant and Dec will also be appearing on the network later in the autumn in the hotly-anticipated fourth series of I'm a Celebrity.
"Ant and Dec are an enormous asset to ITV and we're thrilled to extend our partnership with them. They have a unique appeal to our audience and are loved by everyone from kids to grannies," ITV director of programmes Nigel Pickard said.

ITV controller of entertainment Claudia Rosencrantz added: "The last four years have allowed us to build some great shows with Ant and Dec. They have become synonymous with the channel and I'm really pleased they still feel so at home with us."

Mr Pickard first brought Ant and Dec to ITV six years ago, when he was controller of children's programmes, to host Saturday morning kids shows SM:TV Live, which soon saw off rival BBC1 programme Live and Kicking and became a huge hit.

Ant and Dec signed an initial exclusive deal with ITV in 2000 and had their first mainstream entertainment hit the following year with Pop Idol.

The latest gossip I have heard is that Janet Street-Portor and Paul Burrel are on their way to the Jungle.

Former All Saint Natalie Appleton is reportedly heading to the jungle for the news series of reality show 'I'm A Celebrity. Get Me Out Of Here!'

The sexy singer will jet out to Australia next month to 'rough it' in the bush with fellow celebrities, including model Victoria Silvstedt, former East 17 singer Brian Harvey and Kylie Minogue's ex-boyfriend James Gooding.

The stars will battle it out to be crowned king or queen of the jungle, living on basic rations for two weeks and having to complete the dreaded 'Bushtucker Trials', which often involves eating live bugs.

Natalie, who is married to Prodigy star Liam Howlett, was said to be so keen to take part in the show, which raises money for charity, that she even conquered her fear of flying so she could take the long-haul flight to Australia.
A source revealed to Britain's Daily Star newspaper: "Natalie's being very courageous about this. She has an absolute dread of flying, but she wants to do the show so much because it raises money for charity."

Friends claim Natalie is also hoping the reality show will re-launch her singing career, which has taken a back seat since she gave birth to baby son Ace eight months ago.

Previous stars to appear on the hit programme include Johnny Rotten, Kerry McFadden, glamour model Jordan and 'Mysterious Girl' singer Peter Andre.

MADNESS frontman Suggs has been asked to join the bug-eaters in the jungle for the next I’m A Celebrity.
The wacky star met producers on Monday.

They reckon his antics could spice up the action on the ITV1 reality show, which starts later this month.

An ITV insider said: “Suggs was a late approach by producers, but they are very keen to sign him up.

“They think he will add more fun to the show and balance younger stars like Brian Harvey.”

Suggs, 43, whose hits include Baggy Trousers, is considering the offer.

He hopes he might be given time off from his Virgin Radio show to appear on the programme.

Below a list of stars definitely off to the jungle and possibles.

The highlight of IACGMOOH for me is the lovely Mark Durden-Smith on ITV2.

Must get a freeview box at the new house!!!

We were introduced some time ago by his mom Judith Chalmers and he told me he was a landscape gardener. I proceeded to flirt outrageously whilst asking him to take a look at my lawns and see what he could do with them!!!! I didn't have a clue he was off the telly!!!

Needless to say, whenever I see him at showbiz bashes now, I hide!!!

ITV have confirmed the show will start on the 21st Nov....

Charlotte 'Too Ratty' for the Jungle



Charlotte Church says she turned down I'm a Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! because she's too ratty.

She says she's been bombarded with requests to go on the show but fears her temper would get her thrown out of the jungle on the first day.

Charlotte, 18, told the Daily Star: "I wouldn't want to put myself out there in that way. You have to be a confident and likeable person and I'm not always that likeable.

"I wouldn't want to put myself in a position where you're so vulnerable. I want to stick to what I'm best at and that's music."

But Charlotte's mother, Maria, has another possible reason.

"Charlotte is absolutely terrified of spiders and creepy crawlies," she admitted.



Charlotte flew to the US on Wednesday to work on her first pop album, out in the New Year.

She revealed: "I'm not sure I want to be famous when I'm 30. It's a lot of hard work.”

One of this year’s I'm A Celebrity stars faces a dinner from hell this year - a kangaroo’s testicle.
Word of the chewy challenge leaked out when producers tested it on a contestant from the German version of the show.

German contestant Desiree Nick was selected by viewers to taste the Aussie delicacy in a bid to win a meal for her fellow celebrities.

The footage of Desiree gobbling down the roo’s privates was one of the highlights of the German show and provoked the biggest reaction.

Now TV bosses plan to repeat the stunt for the British version of the show, reports the Daily Star.

A source from the show said: “It’s probably the most disgusting dare we’ve ever dreamed up for the show.

”It was quite horrific watching her squeeze the ball out of the kangaroo’s hairy bits and then pop it in her mouth.”

Sophie Anderton, Brian Harvey, Natalie Appleton, Paul Burrell and Joe Pasquale will appear in the show which kicks off on November 21.

Producers are still trying to finalise a deal with Gazza before the show starts.

EXCLUSIVE: Gazza's fury after he's wooed and then dumped by TV show bosses because of fame

Gazza: I'm a celebrity (but I have been really f***** aboot)



SOCCER legend Paul Gascoigne is raging after TV bosses rejected him for I'm A Celebrity because... he's too FAMOUS!

ITV bosses pleaded with the former England star for weeks to join the jungle challenge.

But when he finally agreed, they told him: "We now don't think you're suitable for the show."

Now, talking exclusively to the News of the World, Gazza stormed: "I've really been f***ed about."

He entered into secret talks with programme bosses after presenters Ant, below, and Dec, below right, declared he was their "ultimate" contestant.

Trials

Gazza said: "They pestered me for weeks and I kept saying, ‘No, no, no' because I didn't fancy it.

"But because they were so persistent and it was a big challenge I finally agreed to meet them last week and told them I was prepared to do it.

"I know the British public wanted me to go in the jungle. Then this week I got a letter from the show saying they didn't want me any more."

He's still baffled by the reason they gave for refusing to have him on the show, which starts on November 21.

"Apparently they felt I was too famous for I'm A Celebrity. I can't understand it. Now they've got Joe Pasquale and someone from the Three Degrees. My agent is not happy one ****ing bit."

His agent Alex Armitage said: "It's extraordinary. I have never known such a handbrake turn in my life.

"Staff from I'm A Celebrity were pestering my staff and Paul's friends, saying they were desperate to get Paul Gascoigne. So last Thursday night three of them met up with Paul and I. Everything went fine.

"Paul was on great form at the meeting and I left absolutely convinced it was going to happen. But the next day it all suddenly went pear-shaped.

They phoned me up and said, ‘Sorry. We don't want him.' This week I received a letter from them, the inference of which was he was too famous and would unbalance the show.

"In my 20-odd years as an agent I cannot remember being so totally gobsmacked. This could have been the biggest show in ITV's history."

Gazza, 37, had at first turned down ITV bosses to concentrate on his job as player-coach with Boston United. But things changed when he quit the League Two club last month.

"I want to be a coach and I want to be a manager. The fact is nothing seems to be happening in that department for the moment.

"So I thought, ‘Well I might go on I'm a Celeb for a few weeks."

Petrified

Recovering alcoholic Gazza added: "I will always make headlines for good and bad because I'm famous, but because I am sober now I can cope with things a lot better and just accept the way things are every day."

His No1 worry about going on the show wasn't the gruesome bushtucker trials, but the flight.

"I am petrified of flying and it would have taken 24 hours to get to Australia."But I had psyched myself up to do the flight and just thought, ‘Let's get on with it'."

He also insists the size of his fee wasn't the problem."I don't need the money. I just thought it would be good fun.

"They pestered me to go on the programme and then, all of a sudden, they say they don't want me because I'm too big for the show.

"I just think, ‘S*d them'."
