Popular BBC quiz hands out £10k jackpot for first time in its six-year history
FOR the first time in its six-year history, The Hit List will hand over a £10,000 jackpot to a pair of contestants on the show. The BBC One music contest will see hosts Marvin and Rochelle Humes present its biggest ever winning sum to the victors in the final round. 4 Contestants have to name ten tracks played in the studio, and the artists who recorded them, with just five seconds deduction time alloted to each. If participants take more than that time they start having money deducted from the jackpot – but they don't lose a penny. Tune in on Saturday at 5.45pm to see their delight. The show's popularity has seen multiple celebrity specials with famous faces hoping to win big money for charity. Several celebrities have also made appearances while trying to win big money for charity. Some previous guests include ' Steps ' members Ian "H" Watkins and Faye Tozer, as well as future Strictly star Chris McCausland. Dancer Oti Mabuse, former Coronation Street actress Catherine Tyldesley and Inbetweeners star James Buckley have also all taken part in various episodes. Having begun airing in 2019, The Hit List is the first standalone TV show as a couple for Marvin and Rochelle. Speaking previously to the i newspaper, the couple discussed what it takes for contestants to win the challenging the game. Rochelle revealed: 'I always say to them before the round starts, 'don't look at the money trickling down, look at me, I want you to win. I took on The Hit List with Marvin and Rochelle but was left red-faced after 15 minutes of fame 'We've had people that just don't know the answer at all, and the nerves just completely take over. "It's easier said than done, though. SURANNE RELISHES PM ROLE SURANNE JONES has revealed the lengths she went to to prepare for her role as the Prime Minister in her drama, Hostage. The former Doctor Foster and Corrie star talked on the Table Manners podcast about taking the lead in the new Netflix thriller that drops next month. 4 She said: 'I don't think I'm allowed to say (who), but I did speak to three really high-up women from different parties, and I read their books and I interviewed them, and that was very exciting. 'I love research. . . 'I like to meet a lot of people and chat about the roles.' Suranne also discussed working with a new on-screen family, who are all seen in the show starting a new life in Downing Street. She said: 'Ashley Thomas, who plays my husband, who's a grime star. "We did chemistry tests, and when he came in, it was just like, 'Oh, you're intriguing, handsome, lovely, smart, intelligent'.' Bizbit THE second season of Love Is Blind will air on Netflix on August 13. The dating show features people picking prospective partners without ever having seen them. Hosted by Emma and Matt Willis, the new ten-part season will drop in three batches every week until the end of the month. STEPHEN'S BACK ON THE CASE THE BBC and ITV are each launching their own big entertainment series within days of each other – and they bear a fair few similarities. On ITV1, Stephen Mangan will be back with a second run of The Fortune Hotel in the first week of August. 4 4 The show sees players from all walks of life – including cleaners, content creators and carpet fitters – compete in an intense briefcase-swapping game, full of twists, to hopefully be the one to walk off with the £250,000 prize. If that sounds a bit like The Traitors, so does BBC One's brand new show Destination X, which launches on July 30 and also has a whiff of Race Across The World. Host Rob Brydon leads the way as contestants are taken on a nail- biting, wild ride The players board a blacked-out bus where they are fed clues – and a few nasty red herrings – with one simple question at the end of each episode: Where in Europe are you? A £100,000 prize awaits the winner. But with the amount of Euro facts we'll learn during the series, I reckon some of us will win big at the next pub quiz, too.

Rochelle Humes reveals the unlikely inspiration behind her custom white Wimbledon outfit as she shares stunning snaps from first day of the Championship
Rochelle Humes wore her best tennis whites on Monday as she attended the first day of the Wimbledon Championships 2025. And taking to Instagram following the sun-soaked day at SW19, the This Morning star, 36, revealed the inspiration behind her chic all white ensemble. Dressed in a £375 de Savary London white blazer which she paired with custom skinny cropped trousers and a large black hat, Rochelle posed for photos at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. She elevated her frame in a pair of thong kitten heeled sandals and accessorised with a long white scarf and a black handbag. Styling her dark tresses in a neat low bun, the mother-of-three added a pair of Louis Vuitton shades as she made her way to her seat on Centre Court. Making sure to turn heads, Rochelle revealed that the inspiration behind her chic look was none other than Elaine Hendrix's character Meredith Blake from The Parent Trap. She wrote: 'Our favourite date of the year with @evianwater. Dressed as my forever muse M.B. What a day…what a match'. In the 1998 movie starring Lindsay Lohan as Hallie and Annie, Meredith is a young stylish publicist, who is a gold digger planning on marrying Nick Parker for his wealth. Rochelle seems to have taken inspiration from the fictional character's pool outfit as she meets Annie for the first time wearing a crisp white minidress and black hat. Elsewhere during the day, the former Saturdays singer packed on the PDA with husband Marvin Humes, 40. The JLS singer cut a smart figure in a beige pinstriped suit which he paired with a white T-shirt. The couple looked more loved up than ever as they enjoyed a cheeky kiss while sitting at a sun-soaked Centre Court. The VIPs kept cool using battery powered fans as they watched the tournament while the weather in SW19 hit highs of 34C temperatures. Despite the hot weather, the stars were in good spirits while watching Emma Raducanu take on fellow British player Mingge Xu during the heatwave in London. It comes after Rochelle admitted she would be 'lost' if she didn't have 'help' at home, despite previously having a 'bad experience' using a childminder. The couple, share three children - Alaia Mai, Valentina and Blake - and during a Q&A session with her Instagram followers, Rochelle was asked if she has help at home to support her and Marvin when they are busy with work. Rochelle opened up on having two people help her with the kids and her house - her mother Roz Wiseman and a lady called Dita, who she said is also like family. She explained: 'I do have help, I'm going to be honest, I'm not sure I'd be able to spin as many plates if I didn't. 'Obviously the children are in school 5 days a week (Blake in preschool), Marvin hosts radio 11-1 so his hours slot perfectly around the school run. We have an incredible lady (called Dita) who helps with the house. 'She's like family and has worked with us for years and then my mum helps us SO much, we would be lost without her. I feel so lucky that our nanny is their actual Nan. 'We always try and make sure we are pulling opposite work shifts so one of us is always there! The only time that's not possible is when we record our TV show [The Hit List] and then the children stay with my mum. The JLS singer cut a smart figure in a beige pinstriped suit which he paired with a white T-shirt 'I squeeze as much into school hours as humanly possible and take it week by week.' Rochelle previously shared that she would never use a nanny again after experiencing trust issues in the past. She told Zoe Hardman and Georgia Dayton on Made By Mammas: The Podcast that it was 'really awkward' to be off work as the nanny would still be around the home. She added: 'I had a bit of a bad experience with like, trust issues and stuff in a previous nanny role before. So, it just didn't work with me.'

'Really scared' Sam Thompson floored by family bombshell on DNA Journey as he learns family 'faked' posh name 'to improve social standing' - and discovers baffling connection to I'm A Celeb pal Marvin Humes
Sam Thompson was left 'floored' by a family bombshell as he learnt that his family 'faked' their posh name to 'improve social standing' on the most recent episode of DNA Journey. The Made In Chelsea star, 32, appeared on the ITV show alongside his I'm A Celebrity pal Marvin Humes, 40. Viewers can catch up on what the pair - who met in the jungle two years ago - get up to this Thursday, as they head off to Jamaica and Ireland to find out about their family history. Sam's real name is Sam Robert De Courcy Thompson and one expert went on to tell the pair about the meaning behind it. The historian explained of his four time great grandfather: 'When his third son Sydney as born, he gave him the name De Courcy, it was made up, maybe they wanted to be a little posh. 'So he puts that on Sydney. This is happening a lot in this period of history... 'People were affecting more prominent names to give their family some social standing. ' Sam said: 'All I'm hearing is we faked it. I'm over the moon. I'm going to be honest with you. 'I've got a signet ring... doesn't mean anything. 'We just gave ourselves a signet... 'You know those people who now have rings, some people buy a knight ship and called them self sir or lady, that's us!' Shockingly, they also managed to find a connection to one another during their time filming the programme. The star is told that he has a DNA match and goes on to meet his long lost cousin Connolly Patrick McCausland in a very posh estate. Connolly told the pair that him common ancestor with Sam was a man and land agent called Robert McCausland - who owned 11 acres of Woolwich, London. And the pair were left shocked when Marvin pointed out that is where he used to live as a child. 'We're so connected, man,' Marvin told Sam. While in Jamaica, Sam is left panicked when he finds out about a historic family member who spent time in the country, fearing colonial affiliations. 'It doesn't sound good, don't say it..,' he told the expert. Fortunately, he learns that his ancestor had no links to slavery. It comes after Fay Ripley gasped as her 'mind was blown' by some 'insane' family history unearthed on a previous episode. The actress, 59 and her Cold Feet co-star Hermione Norris, 58, took part to find out their ancestry. The pair headed off to St Paul's Cathedral and Fay was told that she was related to a man called James Hardy, who was her four-times great grandfather. Fay was left lost for words when she found out that the Hardys - who were known as 'elite printers' - produced playing cards for where King George. Their printing building - which was part of St Paul's Cathedral - allowed them to watch over funerals of people such as the Duke of Wellington and Lord Nelson. The expert said: 'This is their building. This is where we are right now.' Fay replied: 'This is insane.' He added: 'From their window, they would watched the state funerals of Nelson. They would have watched the state funeral of Wellington. These things were happening in their front garden.' 'This is amazing,' Fay said. The expert then showed a drawing of their building, which had 'playing cards' printed on it and he told her: 'They didn't just make any cards, one of the premium prints of playing cards in the country. 'They were so good, their cards are still highly prized by collectors.' The voice over explained: 'Hardy and Sons playing cards were in such high demand, even King George owned his own deck. 'Playing cards was so popular it became one of the most taxed products of the time.' The Suspects star couldn't believe her ears as she explained a spooky link with the information that she had just learned - that her son tends to skateboard in that exact area. 'My son has been coming to there, there because kids come and skateboard, we don't even live that near anymore. 'He gets on a tube age 11 and says I'm going to go and skateboard at St Paul's Cathedral. It's so odd.'
