In an interview last year, AJ Pritchard revealed he wants to be “that presenting duo like [Ant and Dec]”… I nearly spat out my Darjeeling.
The duo in question would comprise of the ex-Strictly pro and his brother and ex-Love Islander, Curtis Pritchard.
I know, sounds very promising.
He went onto explain they would bring their “all-singing and all-dancing Saturday night style of family entertainment”.
Bear with me, he doesn’t end there, not only is he making comparisons to Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, but also to the late and amazing Bruce Forsyth.
Now, I think they might be delusional.

Since the interview, the TV twits have been on shows like I’m A Celeb, Celebs Go Dating, and a host of other minor appearances with minimal impact.
They recently started a podcast too, but again, totally bland and nothing monumentally interesting about the pairing.
During AJ’s stint in the I’m A Celeb castle, Twitter users complained: “I already forgot AJ was in this,” and “Me patiently waiting for AJ to get booted off I’m A Celeb”… I could go on, but you get the idea.

AJ had an amazing opportunity to win over the public in his first TV debut after exiting Strictly Come Dancing last year, but he really wasted his moment.
It was his chance to shine and it seems he failed in every way imaginable.
Ant and Dec’s success largely comes from their likability and natural TV flair that makes them a hit with viewers.
I’m afraid to say, this doesn’t apply to the cardboard duo.

It’s a shame, because they’re both attractive young men, but as captivating as a pair of sedated sloths.
Maybe they should refocus their efforts on modelling or OnlyFans — I heard that’s a great way for wannabe reality stars to make cash fast? Doesn’t require a personality, so might be perfect for them!
It was recently announced the pair would be joining Hollyoaks (I’m shocked too), playing twin brothers because they’re apparently “thick as thieves, and look identical”.
It’s such a bizarre signing, but another attempt by the brothers to force their way onto screens when no one is really asking for it! Give us a break.

They can keep going, backed by their management and publicists, but the public is always the judge, jury, and executioner and I have a feeling they’re going to be sent straight to the Tower of London sooner rather than later.
Please don’t feel sorry for them, I wouldn’t after reading Curtis slammed ex-Love Islander and former girlfriend Maura Higgins in a sleazy performance about his experience in the ITV villa.
He compared the Irish bombshell to a dog on heat and a second-hand car. He also accused the influencer of cheating, all of which was said during a stand-up comedy performance for Channel 4’s Stand Up And Deliver. How kind of him.

A hilarious clip has already been released of Harry and Jamie Redknapp taking part in the much-loved segment of the show where Ant and Dec control celebs through earpieces.
I can’t wait for Saturday Night Takeaway, and I’m sure the Geordie presenters will deliver in providing some much needed entertainment this weekend whilst we’re still locked away.
Let’s get ready to rumble!
Gemma Collins – bored?
Gemma Collins was a guest on this week’s RuPaul’s Drag Race UK
The usually noisy and vivacious Gemma Collins was certainly lacking energy in the recent episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK.
I mean, seriously, she didn’t look like she wanted to be there or BBC Three didn’t pay her enough to endure one of the worst Snatch Games in the history of the franchise.
Wonder which one it was?
Maybe she was contemplating why she lied to Piers Morgan over producing a sex tape, or thinking about the next one… that would be a tidy £2million, at least!
Millionaires using furlough…
Cara Delevingne is worth a reported £30million (Image: Getty)
The mega-rich supermodel, Cara Delevingne, is a director at Harvey White Properties Ltd, a family business which boasts a property portfolio of homes and investments worth £45.5million.
Guess what? They’re claiming taxpayers’ money to fund their employees being laid off work during the pandemic.
The cheque… I mean cheek of it all!
Cara alone is worth an estimated £30million and reportedly earned a modest £15.7million in 2020.
Don’t worry guys, let’s chip in and do our bit for charity; these multi-millionaires are really struggling.
If things get worse, they might sing a song again walking around their Hidden Hills mansions. Paging Gal Gadot!
The Pricey is back

Look who’s making her prime-time TV return!
Katie Price will be hitting our screens again (watch out), with an upcoming appearance on Celebrity Masterchef.
It’s been a while since the model has graced terrestrial TV and I’m sure the public can’t wait… No? Ah okay.
All I ask, Gregg and John, don’t let her loose with any knives or other dangerous pieces of kitchen equipment.
Let’s not forget the accident which resulted her breaking two legs after jumping off a wall at a Turkish theme park.
Posh is losing the dosh
Victoria Beckham’s companies are losing millions of pounds (Image: Dave Benett/Getty Images for Annabel’s)
Victoria Beckham’s company Victoria Beckham Ltd, which covers her dry fashion line, has reported a loss of £11.8million. Whoops…
I haven’t finished yet, her other company Victoria Beckham Holdings, which covers her beauty and fashion brand, is showing a total loss of £16.5million — the £4.7million gap is tragic but understandable.
Have you seen her dresses? Goodness me, Victoria was relying on the success of her brands because she can’t rely on her singing to pay her bills.
Saying that, there’s always David.
In her own words: “Stop right now, thank you very much!”
Piers is causing a storm… according to GMB weatherman
Piers Morgan hit out at GMB weatherman Alex Beresford (Image: BBC)
Piers’s monumental ego was pricked by resident Good Morning Britain weather expert Alex Beresford, who admitted to the nation he had never watched Piers Morgan’s Life Stories.
Of course, Piers saw the clip tweeted by GMB and couldn’t help himself snapping back: “To be fair, I’ve never watched his weather reports.”
This isn’t the first time the pair have clashed, Piers also claimed: “[Alex] is far from being the greatest weatherman of all time.”
Hello?! All I want to know is if it’s going to rain. Shut up and do your jobs, we already know ITV pay you both way too much.
