Vicky Pattison's Gogglebox challenges amid 'chaotic' bond with Pete Wicks
Vicky Pattison has revealed that she faced a behind-the-scenes struggle on Celebrity Gogglebox when she opened up about her "chaotic" relationship with Pete Wicks. Vicky Pattison has opened up about her "chaotic" experiences on Celebrity Gogglebox alongside her longtime friend Pete Wicks. Discussing the matter on the Get A Grip podcast, the Geordie Shore star shared insights from their recent appearance on the Channel 4 show with co-host Angela Scanlon. Having joined a list of celebrities such as Mel B and Jamie Theakston who have graced the reality series, Vicky talked about her voyage on Gogglebox with Pete Wicks, a friendship spanning over 15 years. The pair managed to bag themselves four episodes on Gogglebox this year, with Vicky announcing that they have wrapped up filming. She humorously remarked on the challenges posed by the scorching weather they faced while recording: "God knows how, but yeah, we're done. It's in the bag. Last one is this week so make sure you tune in. I can't promise any feminist rants. I was sweating me t**s off." She went on to describe with frankness the conditions at home during the shoot: "It was 40 degrees in my front room trying to do that the other day, and obviously, with the heatwave we've been having this week, it's been f*****g savage. Yeah, literally swamp gusset galore." In fits of laughter, Angela shared an anecdote where the term "full swamp gusset weather" was used by "one of the mums at the school", which resonated with Vicky's own struggle with the heatwave. Angela revealed that the mum picked up the saying from Vicky, who regretted wearing grey. Vicky then delved into her dynamic with fellow star Pete. She explained that their 15-year friendship had been "very fast", detailing how they'd, for example, "grab a drink" after filming or "pop" in somewhere after a meeting. Vicky recounted: "'Like, should we have a meal? Should we have a wild night out?' Like, especially in the early days, it was all a bit chaotic. We've never watched TV together." This comes amid feedback from some Gogglebox viewers dissatisfied with the new series, which features BBC Radio 2's well-liked Paddy McGuinness and Vernon Kay. The celebrity edition presented programmes such as 'Celebrity Bridge of Lies', 'Silence Is Golden', 'Big Zuu and AJ Tracey's Rich Flavours', ' Race Across the World ', and 'Faking It'. However, viewer reactions varied, as some openly critiqued the celebrity aspect, with comments like: "Not the dreaded celebrities again, so many of them are so annoying #Celebritygogglebox." Another chimed in: "We watch normal #Gogglebox because it's hilarious and we love all the families. #celebritygogglebox is not funny and we couldn't care less about the celebs. It's just people watching telly." Meanwhile, one viewer enthused over the series and expressing eagerness to see the Eubanks on screen, dubbing them "TV gold".

Job losses as Dundee games company liquidated
One of Dundee's first phone games specialists Cobra Mobile has been liquidated. The firm faced a number of extreme difficulties in the run-up to its collapse, including partner companies going bust and the death of chairman Peter Mackintosh last year. A total of eight staff have been made redundant as a result. Cobra Mobile are regarded as pioneers of the mobile games industry in the city, being one of the first to recognise the markets' potential ahead of the ubiquity of smartphones. It was founded in 2005 by Mark Ettle, and produced games sold in their millions globally including Storm In A Teacup and iBomber. As well as selling on Apple's App Store and Google's Play Store, Cobra Mobile also made games for platforms like Steam and Nintendo. Mark told The Courier a series of bad outcomes had contributed to Cobra Mobile's liquidation. He said: 'It has been a really sad combination of events. There is the recent sudden death of our chairman Peter Mackintosh. 'We have had clients go bankrupt on us during projects, leaving us hugely in debt. 'There has been a downturn in the sector, which has made it harder for us to operate moving forward with the roadmap we wanted to follow. 'This has all hit us at the same time. 'It is really sad, but it has been a fun ride too for the last 20 years.' Cobra Mobile won numerous accolades, including a European Gams Award and were nominated for multiple BAFTAs. An in 2008 the company greeted the arrival of the iPhone and the App Store, having switched their focus from developing for Java based mobile phones. 'We have made a tonne of great games,' Mark added. 'And we've won lots of awards and been nominated for loads more. We had business commendations for the way we operated and worked. 'But there are things in business you simply don't control and events you cannot foresee. 'And there is a downturn in the industry right now. This is not an isolated event. 'We had one thing on top of another — a cascading waterfall of bad outcomes.' Steven Wright of Glasgow company Dains Accountants has been appointed as the interim liquidator of Cobra Mobile. The company's eight employees will be helped through the redundancy process, a spokesperson for Dains said.

BBC presenter makes surprise return after emotional exit
Former BBC Look North presenter Jeff Brown made a surprise return to the airwaves over the weekend as he helped out with coverage of the Sheffield United v Sunderland Championship match A BBC news presenter has delighted fans by coming out of retirement to help with coverage of a sporting event. Jeff Brown disappointed fans in March last year when he announced he was stepping away from the news desk and seeking retirement. Jeff had been a presenter on BBC Look North for 21 years before he hung up his microphone for a quieter life. But this weekend, the star revealed he was coming "off the bench" to help with coverage of the English Football League Championship. On Saturday, sports fans were on the edge of their seats as Sheffield United took on Sunderland at Wembley Stadium in London. When the whistle was blown at full time, Sunderland were crowned winners of the game, scoring two goals over Sheffield, who managed to net just one. Jeff had a front row seat for all the ball chasing action - and revealed he was back in his presenting role to provide a match report. Taking to X after the match had been won, the TV star shared a photograph of himself sitting in front of a monitor while in the stadium. In an accompanying message, he hinted that he could return to screens more than once, while also hinting this could be his final credit for the BBC. He wrote: "Came off the bench for (probably) my final stint in the Wembley press box. And what a way to sign off!" He added: "Match report on tonight's BBC Look North @BBCNEandCumbria." His return was warmly received by fans who rushed to praise his return. Responding to his post, one fan replied to write to the presenter: "Good to see you Jeff." While another wrote: "Couldn't have asked for any more Jeff. We'll enjoy the moment then look forward to a tough season ahead." And a further fan typed: "Fantastic weekend Jeff. Good luck and see you around the hallways." While many others expressed their joy over the end of match result. Jeff previously announced his retirement in March 2024 - with the news of his exit from the North East show coming as a shock to fans in the region. The TV host had been a popular member of the team since 2003 - specialising in sport while also fronting news bulletins on a regular basis. Over the course of his career on BBC Look North, he was nominated for Royal Television Society awards - and broke the news of his exit directly to fans. Taking to X at the time, he explained why he felt the time was right to step away from the corporation. He wrote: "News just in…after nearly 21yrs with BBC Look North @BBCLN I'm moving on. Projects in the pipeline with BBC & others, but (as you can see) it's been fun, and a huge, wonderful part of my life. Thanks for watching." In a more details statement released around the same time, Jeff said: "Presenting BBC Look North - filling the seat once occupied by the great Mike Neville - has been the undoubted highlight of my career, something I could never have imagined when I set out as a journalist. 'It has been an absolute pleasure and a privilege to work with such talented and dedicated teams over the years, and I'm proud to count them as my friends. "I'm also truly grateful to the many people and organisations across the North East and Cumbria who have allowed me to tell their stories, and to be welcomed into hundreds of thousands of homes every night." He added: 'Sport has always been my passion – whatever colour the team is wearing or the shape of the ball! I hope I've been able to reflect the depth of feeling fans have for their teams because in that respect our region is unique'.
