This has crept up on me and no mistake! It starts tomorrow with Grace Dent in situ as new host with soon-to-depart JT. I haven’t heard of any of the slebs so that’s a great start.

With apologies to the (many) I've missed or who have name-changed - I tried names I knew but couldn’t post as some weren’t current and had to randomly remove, so please pass it on!

i'm mainlining sugar here to counteract the bitterness on the screen

PotterHead1985 · 03/12/2025 20:25

Hispi!!

TheDogsMother · 03/12/2025 20:25

Hispi 🙄. So 2023

EsmaCannonball · 03/12/2025 20:26

Jodie's father died at the weekend. He wasn't very old. She is meant to be filming the Strictly Christmas Special in a few days but I guess that might not happen now. I like her. Proper Yorkshire.

Ellenanora7 · 03/12/2025 20:26

I'm not loving any of the grub so far to be honest

Ellenanora7 · 03/12/2025 20:28

Ah that's so sad for Jodie 😔

lettingthedaysgoby · 03/12/2025 20:29

Meanwhile, very forgiving for Alfie, possibly because he is the biggest celeb in the total 15 and they need him to go further....

That pavlova would last about 2 nanoseconds round here.

ETA: I hope Jonty isn’t on statins, with all this grapefruit around….

I could eat a family size one of those, no problems. Alun Wyn is my second favourite next to Jodie. I've jinxed them both.

Ellenanora7 · 03/12/2025 20:31

This is the round where they've all had lots of practice but pretend they haven't

Ellenanora7 · 03/12/2025 20:33

Yes I like Alun too @EsmaCannonball

"raspberry sauce tasting of raspberries" 🤣

PotterHead1985 · 03/12/2025 20:34

A raspberry sauce that tastes of raspberries. Nah Jonty, we thought it would taste of strawberries!!

I do find that post-Joey Essex 'Ooh, I've never cooked an omelette before! A mushroom? What's that?' pretence very tiresome.
