He's truly passionate about the project.' The Radio 1 star and international DJ Calvin enjoyed a baby shower with her friends and family in Ibiza a few weeks ago. Last month, Vick delighted fans at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend by asking them for baby name ideas.

Lenny Henry makes emotional admission to Alison Hammond in her BBC1 show
In tonight's episode of Alison Hammond's Big Weekend, she talks to Sir Lenny Henry who opens up about the death of his mother He acts, writes, campaigns, tells jokes and - in this episode - belts out a song in a Dudley tavern… Sir Lenny Henry is the latest celeb to spend a big weekend with Alison (Alison Hammond's Big Weekend, June 13, BBC1, 8.30pm), and they get on like a house on fire. They start by eating Jamaican 'Saturday Soup' in a London restaurant, comparing their mums' cooking. Lenny discusses meeting the Queen when he got his knighthood and what his 39 years of Comic Relief work means to him. The pair then head to Dudley, with Lenny making an emotional admission on route that he had grief counselling after his mother Winnie died, devastated that he'd been away on tour in Australia when she died. Standing outside his childhood home, Lenny regales Alison with tales of his formidable mother, who according to Lenny could throw a man through a brick wall, as well as his father's prolific vegetable gardening. Lenny reveals how he used to sneak into his neighbour's basement through a drain - so it's a bit of a shock when that very same neighbour appears to say hello. Lenny also talks about discovering that his biological father was someone other than the man who raised him - with Alison sharing her own experience of being the result of an affair. And at The Lamp Tavern in Dudley, one of Lenny's old haunts, he recounts having his first rum punch at age eight before picking up a mic and singing his favourite blues song for the crowd. Of course, Alison joins in. She says: 'Lenny is incredible and such an inspiration, I adore him.' There's plenty more on TV tonight - here's the best of the rest.. NOT GOING OUT, BBC1, 9pm This gag-reel comedy, starring co-writer Lee Mack, is clearly not going anywhere as it returns for the first of new new series - clocking up over 100 episodes. First going out in 2006, it has followed the ups and downs for Lee (Mack) and his now-wife Lucy (Sally Bretton) as they got together and had three kids. Studio sitcoms in front of an audience are a rare beast these days, and not to everyone's taste, but with a barrage of one-liners from Mack, it's near impossible not to get sucked in. 'It's risky to make a studio sitcom,' he says. 'You're basically saying, 'I'm really trying to make you laugh'. I try to write a joke in every line.' Series 14 rolls the story on several years, with the couple now empty nesters and moving house. With plenty of time to focus on each other, what could possibly go wrong? Over the series, watch out for more farce, mistaken identities and tension over everything from a robotic sex doll to a dilapidated campervan. SAM THOMPSON'S MATCH BALL MISSION FOR SOCCER AID, ITV1, 9pm The latest celebrity to do an insane charity challenge, podcast host and TV personality Sam Thompson has taken on a mammoth 260-mile endurance challenge. The goal was to deliver the Soccer Aid for UNICEF match ball from last year's stadiu, Stamford Bridge in London, to the home of this year's match, Old Trafford in Manchester - visiting iconic football stadiums along the way. His challenge involves five back-to-back endurance days, running five marathons and cycling over 130 miles, with each day more intense than the last. Sam says: 'I'm not a natural runner or a cyclist. Before my training started, I didn't run at all, let alone long distance. I also hadn't cycled since I was 10 years old, so I knew this was going to be such a tough and difficult challenge for me. Ahead of the Soccer Aid kick off this Sunday, watch this film which follows all the ups and downs, highs and lows of this emotional and exhausting challenge. EMMERDALE, ITV1, 7.30pm Joe is quick to suggest that Billy might be responsible for Clemmie's missing phone. Paddy is still furious with his dad, but Mandy encourages him to get over it so that Bear doesn't feel unwelcome in their home. Tracy panics that she's going to be in the frame for Nate's murder. She's convinced that Cain planted Nate's phone in the playhouse. 'I've got to get to the bottom of this or the police are going to charge me for murder,' she says. EASTENDERS, BBC1, 7.30pm Kat's decision to call off the wedding leaves Alfie devastated and angry. Elaine, Yolande and Kat compare notes over a drink on the state of their love lives, and Elaine gives the others pause for thought. Alfie gets a pep talk from an unlikely source as he wonders whether he and Kat can get through this. Patrick fights for Yolande by making a grand gesture. Joel shows Tommy a video by a social media influencer who says derogatory things about women. CORONATION STREET, ITV1, 8pm Maria chats to Shona about the Platts' barbecue plans, aware that Lou is listening. As Maria passes Lou, she warns her to keep her distance. At the prison visiting room, Logan swaggers over to Betsy and Lauren and Betsy tells him she's there to find out what really happened to Becky. Will Logan give her answers? Sally returns home to find Tim looking after Joanie and Shanice and reckons Lou is using him. Todd is gutted when Theo cancels their date.

Race Across The World 2025 cast now: Months on from filming, here's where they are today
After eight, very intense weeks, Race Across the World came to an end last night (11th June) on BBC One, with this year's winners reaching the finish line at Kanniyakumari, India. The five pairs endured homestays, all kinds of odd jobs and sleeper buses over the course of the series, as they competed for the prize fund of £20,000. In the end, mother and son duo, Caroline and Tom, beat this year's runners up (Elizabeth and Letitia) by approximately 19 minutes, with teen couple Fin and Sioned coming in third place. Filming took place for the show last year October, so some time has passed since the participants were roughing it over in Asia for the ultimate race. So, what are the contestants up to now? From this year's winners to sisters Elizabeth and Letitia, and early departures Yin and Gaz, here's what the Race Across the World contestants are up to today. Caroline and Tom have been doing a lot of press since the 2025 season aired. Tom recently shared a gallery of images from some of their cast interviews. "Had a great time doing the One show and BBC radio 2 with @realscottmills !! The final is tonight! Who is going to take home the prize?? All to play for and only a couple of hours until we find out! @raceacrosstheworld @bbctheoneshow @bbcradio2" he wrote alongside the images. Asides from the BBC One show, Caroline and Tom have planned to do more travelling together, with the pair revealing that the show has brought them "closer". "We now try and have a bit more time for each other," Caroine said after their win. "We actually make time to stop and enjoy the simple things together and we are hoping to go travelling again." She continued: "Tom is back working and we are hoping to save up and plan to go to Kazakhstan with rucksacks but obviously with a phone this time and see what takes our fancy. "It will just be the two of us because we like to walk and be impulsive and we don't mind roughing it." Since appearing on the BBC One show, Fin and Sioned have been doing some more travelling. In February, the couple headed to Australia, with Fin sharing a photo dump on Instagram of his time there with the caption: "Down Under". Sioned also shared a photo dump from their time in Australia, one of which included them jumping out of a plane. The pair have kept in contact with their co-stars, with Tom commenting: "Big boy" with a kangaroo emoji on Fin's Australia dump. In another photo, the couple can be seen attending BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend with Tom, Letitia, and Elizabeth. "A post that's actually not about the Race big suprise. Absolutely brilliant few days at BBC big weekend, and finally seeing (nearly) everyone again," Fin captioned the photos posted in May 2025. Sisters Elizabeth and Letitia just missed out on the cash prize, but are clearly winning in life. In March, Elizabeth joined Serene Wellness Retreats as a meditation facilitator. "Meet the Workshop Leaders! 🌿✨ Feeling so lucky to welcome Elizabeth to our workshop leaders team! For nearly eight years, she has immersed herself in meditation, breathwork, and energy healing, discovering the profound power of stillness. Her warmth and guidance make every practice feel like a breath of fresh air- something we could all use more of!" read the caption alongside an image of Elizabeth. Letitia hasn't shared much on her socials since appearing on the show, but has been by her sister's side during press interviews and days out with the rest of the racers. The brothers had us all screaming when they were picking up manure with their bare hands. You'll be happy to hear they haven't been doing any of that since the show ended (well, at least from what we can see from their social media). Instead, they've been doing some press, and were interviewed by The One Show's Scott Mills recently. They've also been spending some time with family, with Brian sharing a photo with his son and grandson from his and Melvyn's joint Instagram page. "Making memories tonight watching @raceacrosstheworld with my family! Three generations of Mole men ☺️. My grandson Alfie particularly loved my 🐃 💩 moment! 😁" he captioned the sweet image. Separated couple Yin and Gaz were the first pair to be out of the race. Since filming ended for them on show, the ex couple have been getting on with their day-to-day lives, with a few interviews here and there - as you do. They've been spending time together as a family going on hikes and to markets over the bank holidays, along with their daughter, Autumn, who recently turned 21. Gaz has also been enjoying himself at a few football matches and concerts, including a Sam Fender show at West Ham's stadium earlier this month. Race Across the World is available to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Perrie Edwards took extreme lengths in desperate bid to manage panic attacks
Little Mix's Perrie Edwards has opened up about seeking support from therapists to help deal with her mental health, after candidly speaking about panick attacks and anxiety Singer-songwriter Perrie Edwards has opened up about seeking support from therapists to help her deal with panic attacks. The Little Mix member spoke about her experience amid the news that she has taken on a new role. Perrie, 31, has spoken candidly about experiencing anxiety and panic attacks, with her having raised awareness around mental health over the years. The BRIT Award winner has also previously discussed her experience with agoraphobia. The X Factor winner has previously revealed that she "never" on her own due to her fear of having a fatal panic attack. She's shared that her symptoms of panic attacks include eyesight issues and eventually difficulty breathing. She has now spoken further about her experience, including sharing her thoughts on therapy. Perrie's latest comments come amid the news that that she is now a celebrity ambassador for the mental health charity Mind. Whilst speaking to Metro over the news, Perrie gave an update on her own mental health. She told the outlet that she is "trying to be at peace" with her anxiety and its physical symptoms, rather than fearing potential panic attacks. She added that she has "tried everything," sharing that she has tried "all different kinds" of therapy. Perrie then gave an insight into some of her experiences with therapists, including revealing that she has taken a therapist to work with her. The singer shared with the outlet that therapists have tried to coach her on strategies for dealing with panic attacks in the past. She however suggested that "everything goes out the window" when she actually experiences one. Perrie shared: "Last year, maybe in September, I started to take my therapist to work with me, which I know is a very privileged situation." She added in the interview that she's aware that many people don't even have a therapist. She said that she wanted to "make the most of it" though. Perrie explained that she decided to take her therapist to work with her each day and get them to coach her through any panic attack "there and then" in the moment itself. Sharing her thoughts on the decision, Perrie told the outlet in the interview, which was published earlier today: "It's the best thing I've ever done." She went on to add that she now wishes that she had done it sooner. Perrie's comments come just weeks after she was seen discussing her experience with panic attacks on the Alison Hammond's Big Weekend. She was the guest for the first episode of the BBC show, which was released last month. Speaking to host Alison Hammond, she said: "I've developed panic disorder, so it's the fear of having a panic attack." She explained that she developed that fear after she started suffering from "severe" panic attacks a few years ago. Perrie shared: "So I was like if I'm on my own and I have a panic attack I might die and nobody will be here to help." Providing an insight into the impact that has on her life, she went on to say: "So that's why I'm never on my own." Later in the episode, she told Alison that her first panic attack occurred after she had an over-the-counter caffeine shot during a trip to Las Vegas with her bandmates from Little Mix some years ago. Perrie said: "I honestly thought I was having a heart attack from whatever was in [it]." She recalled "pacing" around her room and having panic attacks, sharing that she ended up in hospital. Perrie added: "After that incident I just kept having them like again and again." She suggested that the experience had been a "trigger" and said her anxiety was then "through the roof". Asked about the signs of a panic attack, she said: "My arms go limp. My legs go limp. And then my eyesight starts to go. And then I can't see anything. And then my heart starts racing and then I just can't breathe. And I just feel like I'm gonna die so I start freaking out."
