Konnie Huq and husband Charlie Brooker look smitten as they enjoy a fun night out at The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience in London
Konnie Huq and husband Charlie Brooker enjoyed a fun night out together at The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience in London on Tuesday. The former Blue Peter star, 49, and Black Mirror creator, 54, relived the world famous nineties phenomenon as they explored the immersive experience. The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience invited a host of star-studded guests and influencers to launch its summer season. Konnie and Charlie, who sported casual ensembles, looked more than loved-up on their thrilling date night. She became a firm on-screen favourite when she appeared as a Blue Peter presenter between December 1997 and January 2008. She met the Black Mirror creator during an episode of his show, Screenwipe, in 2009 and they became engaged nine months later, in June 2010. They went on to have two children together - Covey, 12, and Huxley, 10, with the Blue Peter star admitting that she pressured Charlie into having marriage and babies in the early days of their relationship. Konnie said she gave the TV creator an ultimatum so that neither of them wasted their time with one another. Speaking on Sophie Ellis-Bextor's podcast Spinning Plates in 2022, Konnie said she always wanted to have children and feared Charlie didn't feel the same, so the conversation and deal breaker immediately came up. 'I always wanted to have kids... I always thought I'd have three kids and then I had two and was like, ''I'm done now,'' she began. 'But weirdly, Charlie didn't think he ever wanted kids. So when we got together, I was like, "if you're not a having kids kind of person than we're not compatible" But it turns out he was.' 'But he is really good with kids which you might not think cause of his miserable alter ego, but Charlie is a lamb in wolf's clothing.' Speaking about tying the knot so fast after meeting each other, Konnie said that at the time, her 'body clock was ticking'. 'I was in my mid-thirties and when you're in your mid-thirties with your body clock ticking, you sort of think, "I don't want to be in another relationship without it going anywhere", she said. The Crystal Maze LIVE Experience invited a host of star-studded guests and influencers to launch its summer season 'So yeah, quite quickly it was my way or the highway, which is good because then you know if someone is committed maybe.' She added that despite putting pressure on Charlie, if he buckled then she would have known he wasn't right for her. 'I was literally like, "there is no point us being together unless you're sure you want to have kids and quite quickly as well". And If that was to scare him off, then he wasn't the right person.'

Massive 90s game show set for reboot as Gordon Ramsay's production team work on new quiz inspired by series
There have been a couple of reboots but nothing has quite conjured up the magic of the old show RAMSAY REBOOT Massive 90s game show set for reboot as Gordon Ramsay's production team work on new quiz inspired by series Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) GORDON RAMSAY is developing a new game show which could give us a 21st-century version of The Crystal Maze. Unfortunately the chef has no plans to shave his head to look like the original host Richard O'Brien. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 2 Gordon Ramsay is developing a new game show which could give us a 21st-century version of The Crystal Maze, pictured original host Richard O'Brien Gordon's production house Studio Ramsay Global is in the very early stages of devising the group challenge show – so early, in fact, that it's not yet clear where the show would eventually air. But there would certainly be an appetite for a programme like The Crystal Maze, which became a cult classic when it was shown on Channel 4 from 1990 to 1995. There have been a couple of reboots, including a one-off celebrity edition hosted by Stephen Merchant, but nothing has quite conjured up the magic of the old show. If anyone can do it, surely Gordon can. The Sun revealed in March that Ramsey was set to launch a new baking show. Fans loved his sweary antics on shows such as The F-Word and Ramsay's Kitchen Nightmares. In 2023, Gordon launched Next Level Chef on ITV, but it was axed after only one series. He was looking to have better luck across the pond as he revealed Next Level Baker to FOX. The new spin-off show would test bakers as they attempted to make festive holiday treats across the three levels on the set. One master of the craft would hope to take away the top prize and the crown. My husband Gordon Ramsay missed the birth of our first 4 kids, it's controversial but I didn't want the attention on him Gordon gushed over his new show as he said it takes him back to his roots as a chef. He said: "I'm delighted that Next Level Baker is coming to Fox later this year. "A holiday special, where passionate home cooks, more used to crafting treats for their family, will compete against social media creators; individuals who fill our feeds with photo ready creations, side by side with talented professional pastry chefs, impressing with Michelin starred perfection.' "My very first job was baking in Paris, and to me there is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread."
