Louis Theroux's girlband project experiences setback as another prominent group declines invitation, echoing the Spice Girls' rejection
In the world of entertainment, there's always something new and exciting to look forward to. Here's a rundown of some upcoming TV shows and a glimpse into the lives of our favourite celebrities.
Firstly, football fans and young viewers are in for a treat as Jill Scott and members of the England Women's team, including Alessia Russo, Chloe Kelly, and Fran Kirby, have comeo roles in the new CBeebies show, Football Fantastics [2].
Meanwhile, the Love Island finale this year was its most watched since Ekin-Su Culculoglu's record-breaking year in 2022, with an average of 2.4 million viewers. The streams for Love Island have also hit 173 million, up eight percent year on year [3]. ITV has announced another All Stars series of Love Island for January [4].
For those who enjoy a good mystery, the mind-bending six-parter, yet to be titled, will have you constantly questioning your perception. The documentary, Boybands Forever, which aired last November on BBC Two, was a huge success, and this new show is expected to follow suit [5]. However, the documentary's potential for controversy is high, as it features interviews with members of Eternal, All Saints, Atomic Kitten, and Sugababes, but not the Spice Girls and Girls Aloud, who have both rejected a personal approach from Louis Theroux to talk on the show [6].
In other news, Robin Wright is starring in a new Prime Video thriller called The Girlfriend, where she plays a character named Laura who has a strange obsession with her own son, Daniel. The newly released trailer for The Girlfriend doesn't make it clear whether Laura is the baddie or if it's actually her son's seriously suspicious new lover, Cherry, played by Olivia Cooke [7].
Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen is keeping busy too, filming a fly-on-the-wall TV show at his six-bed Gloucestershire home. The show features Laurence, his wife Jackie, daughter Hermione, her husband, two children, and eldest daughter Cecile, her husband, and two children [8]. Laurence believes in pooling resources and having family members live together.
Lastly, Liz Hurley is working on an animated show called Breaking Bear, where she plays the wolf queen who tries to kill some bears who cook up meth to sell.
