Chris Hughes suffers career blow as he's 'dropped from the BBC' ahead of major sporting coverage - after leaving ITV Racing following CBB stint
has reportedly been dropped from a huge sporting gig - this time on the BBC, following his Celebrity Big Brother stint and romance with JoJo Siwa. In a blow for Chris, 33, it's reported he has been axed from his presenting duties with BBC Sport. Since 2021, Chris had been a regular face of the BBC's Hundred cricket competition coverage, a format that appeals to younger viewers. With just days to go until this year's league kicks off, Chris has been snubbed from the hosting lineup. A BBC insider told The Sun: 'Chris has done a good job for four years, but we're going in a different direction. 'There will be more focus on the cricket this year, rather than promoting the Hundred as an entertainment show. 'Former England cricketers Alex Hartley and Isa Guha and will lead the presenting team, as they know the sport inside out. Rick Edwards from Radio Five Live will be used in the Chris Hughes role.' World Cup winners Isa Guha and Alex Hartley will anchor the coverage on TV, with Chris' role now being filled by BBC Radio 5 Live Breakfast star Rick Edwards. Daily Mail has contacted reps for Chris, while the BBC declined to comment. It comes after the BBC told Chris in 2023 that his comment towards female cricketer Maitlan Brown during the BBC's coverage of The Hundred was 'not appropriate'. Chris was interviewing Southern Brave's Australian star during her side's innings against the Trent Rockets, in which he provided plenty of positivity about the women's game. However, he became sidetracked after Brown mentioned a recent team bonding session among the Brave stars. 'We watched Barbie the other night altogether and it was really good team bonding and the group is gelling really well together,' she said. 'That is the key to success I think in tournaments like this, how well and how quickly you can gel as a group.' Since 2021, Chris had been a regular face of the BBC's Hundred cricket competition coverage, a format that appeals to younger viewers (pictured hosting the racing on ITV) Cricket fans flocked to Twitter to blast the Love Island star for his awkward remark Hughes quipped in response: 'You're a little Barbie yourself innit, with your blue eyes.' Brown awkwardly laughed at the remark, before Hughes emulated Chris Gayle by saying: 'She's blushing now.' Cricket legend Gayle was criticised for his awful 'don't blush baby' remark during the Big Bash League in Australia back in 2016. The BBC have since confirmed that they have discussed the incident with Hughes. A spokesperson told Mail Sport: 'We have spoken to Chris and explained that his comment was not appropriate.' The news comes after it was reported earlier this year how Chris was leaving his role on ITV Racing in an apparent dispute over pay. Chris, who is a lifelong horse racing fan, had co-hosted coverage of the channels biggest events such as the Cheltenham Festival and Royal Ascot since 2019. The former Love Island hunk took part in the latest series of Celebrity Big Brother in April this year. Whilst locked in the spy house, he grew close to American singer and reality star JoJo, 22. After leaving the show, the pair later confirmed they had progressed from a platonic to a romantic relationship. Meanwhile, Chris was recently forced to hit back at trolls this weekend after they accused him of being a 'creep' and 'doing anything for fame' amid his romance with JoJo. Chris shared a slew of loved-up snaps with JoJo amid their long-distance relationship and penned in the caption: 'just everything - missing you.' Underneath one troll had commented saying: 'Does anybody else find this creepy.' Chris then responded to the woman named Pauline, saying: 'no Pauline, you're miserable, p**s off kindly.' She then responded: 'lol we see long it lasts.' He then continued in a second comment: 'yeah again, you don't need to speak, you don't follow me, respectfully do one thank you.' Chris had previously described JoJo as the 'love of his life' in a sweet interview, whilst also revealing the nickname JoJo has for his private parts in a shocking X-rated confession. The star told E! News last month: 'She calls my balls Jimmy and Timmy. So she must like Jimmy and Timmy,' adding that she loves 'the rhyming lingo.'

Celebrity SAS star Harry Clark's life off-screen from famous girlfriend to army career
Harry Clark is set to take on Channel 4's Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, but how much do you know about the reality star off-screen? He shot to stardom overnight after his spectacular victory on The Traitors in 2024, and now Harry Clark is preparing to tackle his next television challenge on Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins. The 23 year old features amongst the celebrity contestants appearing on the Channel 4 programme, which launches on Sunday, 3 August. He's joined by the likes of Chloe Burrows, Tasha Ghouri, Louie Spence, and Rebecca Loos for this year's series. With military experience under his belt before his reality TV breakthrough, it appears Harry, who recently unveiled his body transformation, stands a strong chance of excelling on the notoriously punishing programme. "Growing up, I'd watch people close to me be in the SAS, which always inspired me. This show was a different experience from what I had imagined, but I always love a challenge, and it proves you're always learning new things about yourself," he revealed. Here, we delve into Harry's previous military service and his celebrity girlfriend. Who is Harry Clark? Harry is a reality television star who rose to prominence on the second series of the BBC's The Traitors, reports Wales Online. The 23 year old claimed victory in the series following a dramatic finale, where his fellow contestant Mollie Pearson discovered he'd been misleading her throughout the entire programme and was, indeed, a Traitor. Harry departed with an astonishing £95,000 and has subsequently built a career in the public eye, securing fresh TV projects and expanding his social media presence. Army career Before his appearance on The Traitors, Harry served as a lance corporal with 47 Regiment Royal Artillery (47 Regt RA). He launched his military career at just 15, driven by admiration for his grandfather who had also served in the forces. "My Grandad on my Mother's side was in the Parachute Regiment; he was my idol, and I wanted to make him proud. He taught us about the importance of 'family', how to respect others, and he taught me how to be a gentleman," he said, as reported on the British Army website. Harry enrolled at the Army Foundation College in Harrogate, Yorkshire at 16, where he trained as an aviation technician with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers. When he applied for The Traitors, Harry had landed a fresh role with a railway firm and was preparing for a career change. Discussing the BBC programme, he previously told Revamp Magazine: "I never thought anything would come of it. I had a job lined up after the army, working on the trains, five days on and five days off." Who is Harry's girlfriend? Harry has been dating CBBC host Anna Maynard since 2022, after the pair first met at a Brighton nightclub. Anna, 24, has fronted CBBC programme Got What It Takes? since 2018 and commands a massive online following, including more than 333,000 YouTube subscribers. Her digital content spans everything from workout updates to beauty advice. She's the younger sibling of chart-topper Conor Maynard and YouTube sensation Jack Maynard, who also featured on I'm A Me Out Of Here. Harry and Anna frequently post about each other on social media, with their relationship seemingly growing stronger by the day.

Elizabeth Hurley poses in a COFFIN after transforming into the mysterious benefactor The Deceased as Channel 4 share first look at cunning new gameshow The Inheritance
Elizabeth Hurley proved that she can still look incredible - even while lying in a coffin - in the trailer for the new Channel 4 gameshow The Inheritance. The model, 60, plays 'The Deceased' in the entertaining trailer, which sees a stately home being plundered of expensive goods. Elizabeth, dressed in a plunging gold sequin dress, says: 'If haven't noticed, darlings, I'm dead, which means my entire estate is up for grabs.' Playing the part of a glamorous benefactor in the show, Elizabeth puts 13 contestants through their paces as they make their bid for her inheritance. However, if they want to get a large share of it, they will need to be cunning to win at her mischievous game. The game is overseen by Robert Rinder, 47, who is The Deceased's Executor and trusted legal counsel. The Deceased understands that people will go to great lengths to win her inheritance, but in her mind, only the most cunning among the contestants deserve to have it. That is why Hurley's character devised 'a series of devilishly difficult assignments' to ensure this happens. These are reported to put the players' diligence, decency and ruthlessness to the test. The game also has a twist - only one player can collect the inheritance from each request. This means that they will have to convince their fellow competitors that they deserve the windfall. Channel 4 said: 'The Inheritance is a camp, cut-throat game of wit, willpower, persuasion and betrayal. 'It's not about who deserves the money, but who can outplay, out-charm and out-scheme the rest to claim it. ' The show has already been likened to the smash hit, The Traitors, which has a similar premise. The BBC show sees players move into Ardoss Castle in the Scottish Highlands where an informed minority (known as the Traitors) must eliminate an uninformed majority (known as the Faithfuls). Elizabeth said: 'It's a thrill to be part of this clever game, playing The Deceased; it all takes place on her huge estate in the English countryside and she dresses to the nines in every scene.' Rob added: 'This is a high-stakes strategy game served with a side of scheming and sabotage. 'As The Executor I enforce the rules, keep the chaos in check - more or less - and make sure our players are deserving of every glittering penny left by our dearly departed deceased.'
