The Great British Bake Off is heading to America, but it seems they may be expecting a different calibre of contestant in the States, than the ones usually seen on the British version of the TV show.

Auditions have started for the US series, but instead of the sedate affair that occurred when the series was made for the BBC, producers in The States are worried that their tryouts will attract some gun toting hopefuls and have respectfully asked them to leave their firearms at home.

There’s a real treat in store for fans of Come Dine With Me because not only is the Celebrity Christmas special airing on Monday, 17 December, but it’s a special with a difference, because one of the celebs isn’t invited back to complete the week of dinner parties after night three!

And that celeb is former Celebrity Big Brother housemate – and Simon Cowell’s former lover – Jasmine Lennard.

Things begin amicably enough, with Strictly Come Dancing celeb and actress Chelsee Healey hosting the first festive dinner party, which has a Caribbean Christmas theme…

But the pressures of cooking become too much and Chelsee abandons her guests during dessert.

However, X Factor singer Marcus Collins eventually persuades her to return to the table and enjoy the rest of the night with her guests, which include I’m A Celebrity star and Benidorm actress Crissy Rock, as well as former Hollyoaks actor Nick Pickard and of course, model Jasmine… Read more & comment »

He added, “It will be a business thing but owning a restaurant is going to be fun as well.”

And of learning to cook himself, David recently said, “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do. I’ve always loved cooking.

“I’d love to cook for Gordon and I definitely will one day.”

The enterprise will doubtless be one that Gordon hopes goes better than his former working relationship with his father-in-law Chris Hutcheson, which ended in the courts and caused a massive rift within the family… Read more & comment »
