"My parents have actually said to me they would put up with anything - and I've put them through a lot - but not the jungle. "It's a step too far. That's their red line. I'd get disowned." Piers fuelled rumours he'd finally been persuaded to sign up to the gruelling reality show on X (formerly known as Twitter). He tweeted: "Like I said, £5million and I'll come and munch kangaroo testicles.

Coronation Street legend addresses future on the cobbles after 15 years
Coronation Street favourite Elle Mulvaney has confirmed her future as cobbles icon Amy Barlow. The actress, 22, took over the role of Steve and Tracy McDonald's (Simon Gregson and Kate Ford) daughter in 2010. During Elle's tenure, Amy has been trapped in a burning block of flats, tackled teenage pregnancy and more recently, was raped by her boyfriend Aaron Sandford (James Craven). The star has also shared the small screen with a number of legendary actors, such as William Roache, who plays grandfather Ken, and the late Anne Kirkbride. Being a member of the Barlow clan cements yourself as a part of Weatherfield history, and viewers will be glad to know that Elle has no intentions of leaving the ITV soap. When discussing the potential of beating Bill's incredible six decade stint, Elle said: 'It's quite the challenge.' 'I am young enough to do it, I guess. It must be incredible for someone to be here 65 years. 'All the stories he must have done and all the people he must have met. 'Who knows what the future will bring? But right now I am loving Corrie more than ever and have no plans to leave, so long as they still want me.' She continued to The Daily Mirror: 'I still can't believe I have been there for 15 years. It's hard to describe because in one way it feels that long but in another way it doesn't. 'I joined when I was just seven and I'm now 22. I was just a young kid. I am so fortunate though. I still love Corrie, where I work and everyone I work with. Want to be the first to hear shocking EastEnders spoilers? Who's leaving Coronation Street? The latest gossip from Emmerdale?

However, there is one show she'd step away from The Street for – I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! 'Simon, who plays my dad, did it and loved it. Bev Callard, who played my nan, also did it so we have a family tradition,' she said. More Trending 'I'm alright with bugs and creepy crawlies and snakes. They don't bother me. But I think I would really struggle with the food and the drink. 'I'd struggle eating or cooking the meal in camp, never mind the Bushtucker Trials. I'd have to stick to the rice and beans.'

Farage's political momentum is astonishing. Voters love a disruptor
The political gods enjoy nothing more than a good psephological joke. Scheduling the biggest test of the UK's newest radical party, Reform, on May 1 is right up there. May 1 is also International Labour Day, when Socialist Parties and trade unions around the world celebrate the collective might – and rights – of the working man and woman. The flags are red, not a fetching shade of teal. In 30 days, Nigel Farage faces the latest test of his political virility. He comes to bury Socialism, not praise it. At the heady launch of the party's local election campaign in Birmingham on Friday, the leader arrived to thumping music and cheering crowds leaning out of a JCB road digger. 'Potholes,' he reminded the audience, 'are a symbol of broken Britain.' Momentum is with the Reform leader, who confounds established opinion more often than he confirms it. The United Kingdom is no longer in the European Union and Farage is now MP for Clacton, leading three other Reform MPs in the House of Commons. It was four, until an internal party row saw Rupert Lowe ejected from the party. The member for Great Yarmouth now sits as an independent. The by-election in Runcorn and Helsby and local elections across England are next. From a standing start, polls suggest Reform could win as many as eight councils, just behind the Conservatives on ten. If the party's candidate, Sarah Pochin, loses in Runcorn to Labour it will be a surprise, despite Reform being more than 30 percentage points behind Labour in the seat at the last election. The Tories are already fearing embarrassment. Two years ago you could have demanded very long odds on Farage ever making it to Number 10. Now he is now 3/1 favourite to be the next Prime Minister. The once laughable has become possible. The two old parties – for that is how they feel – are scrambling to respond. Labour has now attacked Farage and Reform twice on health and particularly the NHS, where the party's policy on introducing insurance mechanisms is vague. Kemi Badenoch said that it was 'no time for a reality TV star' (Farage has appeared on I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here) in an effort to channel Gordon Brown's 'no time for a novice' broadside against the inexperienced David Miliband. Nothing is sticking. New polling for The Telegraph by Ipsos reveals that when asked who would do a 'good job as prime minister', Farage comes out on top on 28 per cent. Keir Starmer is one per cent behind, and Ed Davey two per cent. Badenoch is languishing at 18 per cent, her step-by-step approach to formulating a new set of Tory policies failing to register with voters who are still not listening to the 'natural party of government'. Reform's strong suits are clear. Voters are attracted by 'immigration under control', 'British values' and 'in touch with what people really think'. Farage is weaker on being a 'divisive figure', his closeness to Donald Trump and whether the party has the intellectual depth to actually form a government. As a disruptor, he has no competition. I went through the Ipsos numbers with Ben Butcher, our data editor, who identified just why Labour and the Conservatives should be worried. 'Labour is widely seen to be the party of the elite, with Reform trouncing Starmer with the C2DE and lower-paid respondents,' Butcher told me. The 'red wall' is there for Reform's taking, with the party polling well ahead of Labour amongst non-graduates. It is no surprise that the favourite Labour candidate in the betting markets to be the next PM is Angela Rayner, who grew up in poverty on a council estate and is often photographed having a 'crafty cigarette'. Voters are tired of posh Oxbridge types with a high moral tone (40 per cent of the Cabinet went to Oxford or Cambridge). Competence and difference – not arguments between left and right – resonate. The Conservatives have a bigger mountain to climb, lacking as they do the levers of government to take the fight to Reform. Farage is seen as divisive, but the person who is gaining most from that perception is the leader of the Liberal Democrats, not Badenoch. Looking at net-favourability scores (the difference between a positive and negative response to the party leaders for PM question), Farage is on -15 per cent, Starmer on -20 per cent and Badenoch on -22 per cent. Ed Davey is the nearest to break-even, on -3 per cent. It was no coincidence that Badenoch travelled to Cornwall to speak at the Anthropy leadership event at the Eden Project straight after Rachel Reeves' Spring Statement. The west country is the Liberal Democrats heartland. 'Ain't nothing in the middle of the road but yellow stripes and dead armadillos,' said the American politician, Jim Hightower. As Davey attacks from the soft centre, Reform outflanks the Tories from the other side. The Conservative leader is on a perilous downslope, her skis pulling in different directions. Farage beats Badenoch with older voters, the working-class and lower paid people on the question of who would do a good job as Prime Minister. 'Current polling suggests Reform UK has gained support since the last General Election and this data sheds some light on why,' Ipsos Director of Politics, Keiran Pedley, told me. 'Immigration remains a key issue for many voters and those that support Farage think he is more in touch with traditional British values and more likely to represent real change than Britain's current political leadership. 'However, our polling also shows some of the challenges Farage will face too. There are concerns about his closeness with Trump. There is also a sense the man himself is too divisive – and his party too lacking in people that can run a government – to lead Britain effectively. The more serious the prospect of a Reform UK government appears in the future, the more these questions will need to be answered.' May 1 is the next stepping stone. If Reform wins control of a number of councils and any of the mayoral elections, for the first time voters will be able to hold the party to account. Governing, as Labour is finding, is much harder than campaigning. 'Let's fix broken Britain,' Farage told 10,000 people in Birmingham. 'I'm not mucking about.' The old parties that once commanded the comfortable heights of majority support are very clear that he is not.
