Angellica Bell 'excited' as she announces new job amid Strictly line-up rumours
Former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Angellica Bell has announced a new project that she's excited to be involved with, amid rumours she could compete on Strictly TV presenter Angellica Bell has announced a new role, with her sharing excitement over the opportunity. It comes amid rumours that she could compete on Strictly Come Dancing after taking part in this year's Celebrity Big Brother. Angellica, 49, has been named as an ambassador for the Girlguiding organisation this week. She's taken on the title to help launch 72 additional badges, which are set to be introduced to girls aged four to 18 across Rainbows, Brownies, Guides and Rangers. The range of new badges, co-designed by more than 20,000 girls and volunteers, will be added to and replaced traditional ones, as reported by PA. They will reward participants for activities including critiquing food, mechanics and party hosting. The badges, awarded to girls who complete a certain challenge to wear on their uniform, are divided into sections which encourage the likes of wellness, knowing oneself, learning and having adventures. More than 4,000 design ideas for badges were submitted and 11,000 girls from 753 Girlguiding units around the UK helped try them out. The developments were in response to requests to add more choice and include activities to help the climate, build confidence and speak about their interests. Various badges can be earned by different age groups and they span from interests to building skills to unit meeting activities. The youngest, Rainbows, are able to secure the "bee rescuer" badge by helping the environment or for discovering and sharing their "guiding sparkle" and why they love Girlguiding. Whilst Brownies have a revamped version of the "hostess" badge called "Celebrations," which can be earned by hosting a party and providing food, activities and decorations. Guides are instead able to achieve a "thrift" badge by customising, repurposing and recycling objects. Joining the organisation as an ambassador to help launch the initiative, Angellica has said that she wants to encourage girls to enjoy themselves whilst tackling challenges. She said: "It was a real blast trying out the new badges with Girlguiding members. "I know first-hand just how important it is for girls to have activities outside of school to educate but also have fun. As someone who thrives on challenges and is passionate about ensuring girls' voices are heard, I feel extremely excited to be joining Girlguiding as an ambassador." Angellica added: "Girlguiding offers a safe and welcoming space for all girls, and I am so impressed by the work they do to build girls' confidence and wellbeing, whilst tackling important issues impacting their lives such as online harm, sexism and misogyny. In a world where the voices of girls and young women are not always fairly heard, I am proud to stand alongside Girlguiding and will be using my voice to speak up for equality and to show that girls can do anything." The badge activities were developed in collaboration with Girlguiding's youth panel Amplify, consisting of 30 girls aged 12 to 18, and several partners including The Royal Horticultural Society, the Children's Book Project, Bletchley Park, and the Wellbeing of Women charity. Amanda Azeez, acting chief executive of Girlguiding, expressed excitement, saying: "The launch of these new badges is a huge moment for Girlguiding. They've been designed by girls, for girls – which is so important to make sure we are staying relevant to girls' wants and needs. "The response from girls and volunteers during the consultation process was incredible and really inspiring. There's something for everyone among the new badges and I'm looking forward to seeing the impact these activities have on girls, building their confidence and helping them know they can do anything." Angellica's latest role comes amid speculation that she could take part in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing. She's among the celebrities rumoured for the BBC show, which is set to return to screens in the coming months. The latest line-up rumours come after Angellica, who rose to fame as a presenter on CBBC, competed on the most recent series of the celebrity edition of Big Brother. She's previously competed on TV shows like Celebrity MasterChef. Girlguiding's 72 new interest badges have been co-designed by more than 15,000 girls. From Entomology to Interior design, My voice to Laugher - there is something for every girl. For volunteering information and more visit to help show girls can do anything.

BBC schedule changed as The One Show taken off air in huge shake-up
The One Show has been taken off air for one day in a major BBC schedule shake-up The One Show is set to be taken off air in a huge BBC schedule shake-up The hit programme usually airs weekdays at 7pm on BBC One, but it won't be shown on Friday, May 23 as the broadcaster focuses on coverage from The Chelsea Flower Show. Helen Skelton's documentary series, Lost and Found in the Lakes, will instead air at 7pm, followed by a 30-minute special on the Chelsea Flower Show, helmed by Sophie Raworth and Adam Frost. The horticultural coverage will move over to BBC Two at 8pm, featuring Monty Don, Rachel de Thame, and Arit Anderson, who will provide their analysis of the winning garden in the BBC RHS People's Choice Award. Angellica Bell, standing in for Alex Jones, confirmed the shake-up at the end of Thursday's (May 22) episode of The One Show, reports the Express. Angellica has notably been fronting the BBC coverage of The Chelsea Flower Show this week, alongside Nicki Chapman. "We're not on tomorrow as we're making way for The Chelsea Flower Show," she shared with The One Show's audience. Roman Kemp added: "And if you're looking for great live music, don't miss Radio 1's Big Weekend, which kicks off in Liverpool tomorrow with non-stop coverage on BBC Radio 1, BBC Sounds and BBC iPlayer." Roman also revealed that the show would air at the earlier time of 6.30pm on Monday (May 26) night. "I'll be back on Monday at the slightly earlier time of 6.30pm. We've got some great guests next week, including John Legend, Carey Mulligan and Lionel Richie. What a show," he said. In another segment of tonight's programme, Angellica was seen holding back tears as the team paid tribute to a charity worker during the One Big Thank You segment. The programme surprised Carole Hughes from Stamford, who tragically lost her daughter, Anna, at just three years old to a brain tumour. Six weeks after Anna's passing, Carole and her husband Rob established the charity Anna's Hope in memory of their daughter. The charity is dedicated to raising funds for occupational, physical and speech and language therapies specifically for children suffering from brain tumours. As a token of gratitude for all her tireless efforts, Angellica and Joanna Lumley surprised Carole with a flower named after Anna at The Chelsea Flower Show.
