News about Phil Tufnell

Iconic cult game show A Hole In The Wall might get a new reboot, 15 years since the last series. It first aired in 2008 on BBC1 and although it was renewed for only two series - it easily captured viewers who got to see celebrities in an attempt to form the shape of the a hole in the wall. The hole would slid horizontally towards them, making the gruelling challenge turn into memorably hilarious moments.

The bloodbath's body count is similar to a Line Of Duty-style murder spree, with the BBC aiming to cut 100 hours of television shows this year. Not one genre has been left out, with the axe sweeping everything from drama to quiz shows to comedy. In the face of rising inflation and a two-year freeze to the cost of a TV licence, which provides the majority of the BBC's funding, the BBC is hoping to make £500 million in savings, making some of the BBC's more recent ruthless decisions.

EDEN CONFIDENTIAL: The former spin king, 57, who has already been granted permission for a first-floor extension to his four-bedroom home he shares with his wife Dawn, 55, in leafy Tadworth, Surrey, has a new kitchen plus en-suite bedroom and dressing room. However, local council officials announced that the rear extension passed the inspection, despite no objections from neighbors. According to them, his plans exceeded the 6ft boundary and the 9ft maximum height. In 2004, the former I'm A Celebrity winner paid £620,000 for the house, but it is now estimated that it is worth £1.2 million. The setback, on the other hand, is unlikely to deter Tuffers from going back to bat. At Tadworth, he is planning a long innings. 'My wife is from the area, and I just followed her,' he explained several years after his marriage was moved.' 'It's rural without being too far away, and I love it here.' Heathrow and Gatwick are close to major destinations like Sutton and Kingston, and it's a good thing for them.

NASSER HUSSAIN: When David Lloyd, our long-serving England columnist, was England coach, he used to say, 'Whoever's in the opposition doing your job, be better than him.' Phil Tufnell, who was up against Shane Warne, was thinking about Spare. Or imagine Robert Croft's face as Muttiah Muralitharan was spinning it four yards. Likewise, discussing England's new spin incumbents alongside India's outstanding trio of Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, and Axar Patel is a chalk and cheese talk. Given the fact that Jack Leach is returning from a long-term injury, teenage Rehan Ahmed is playing his second Test and Tom Hartley is on debut, it would be unfair to compare.

When England plucked spinners Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir from the fringes of the county game for the Test squad traveling India, eyebrows were raised. Mail Sport takes a look at some of England's unexpected picks from the past.

When the BBC cancelled A Question of Sport at the start of the month, Paddy McGuinness admitted he was 'completely distraught.' The radio corporation revealed that the program would be cancelled after more than 50 years in service, blaming inflation and declining ratings. McGuinness was recruited to front the quiz in 2021 as a replacement for long-serving host Sue Barker, and the show underwent its latest makeover in 2021.

After running for more than 50 years, BBC bosses axed A Question of Sport on Friday night. One fan was on X, or more commonly known as Twitter, where they became nostalgic as they posted a short video from the long-running show.

The show premiered in 1970 and was first fronted by veteran Match of the Day reporter David Vine, but Ms Barker, who hosted the show for nearly a quarter of a century, is most well-known for being the show's host. The Wimbledon semi-finalists were first admitted to the programme in 1997 and are quickly evolving to become the show's face.

MIKE DICKSON: So what question of Sport has been answered, mourned like a much-loved old friend who has recently been in dire need of medical assistance. One could say that it was a merciful release. Last night, the world's longest running television quiz was put out of its misery, death by unforced error. Sue Barker was ostensibly dismissed as presenter three years ago, but her captains Matt Dawson and Phil Tufnell escorted out at the same time.

On Friday's last episode, I'm A Celebrity actor Phil Tufnell appeared to disparage co-stars Myleene Klass and Fatima Whitbread. During an interview, the English cricketer, 57, opened up about his teammates on his departure but didn't mention the two names in his address. As he detailed getting along with the rest of them in the jungle, Phil - who was sent home on the final episode - praised most of his co-stars.

During the final episode of I'm A Celebrity South Africa on Friday, Myleene Klass was named the first I'm A Celebrity Legend. After the pair became the remaining two actors to spend the final night in camp, the musician and broadcaster, 45, defeated Diversity dancer Jordan Banjo, 30, 30. On Thursday's episode, Hear's Say singer Myleene and KISS Breakfast host Jordan made it to the final four of the series, alongside Fatima Whitbread, 62, and Phil Tufnell, 57, with Phil being voted out by the returning full cast of the trial and Fatima leaving after losing the Critter Countdown trial on Friday.

On Thursday's episode of I'm A Celebrity South Africa, two more celebrities were barred from the bush. After appearing last in the Vile Vineyard trial, countdown star Carol Vorderman, 62, and royal butler Paul Burrell, 64, are headed home. With the campaign to become the first ever I'm A Celebrity Legend coming to an end, Myleene Klass, Fatima Whitbread, Jordan Banjo, and Phil Tufnell were in the final four.

On Tuesday's episode of I'm A Celebrity South Africa, Phil Tufnell was left fuming after his campmates refused to prevent him from attending the Survival Trial. Since being unable to stay in camp, the retired cricketer, 57, was forced to go head to head in the competition against Joe Swash. As the race to the final began, Phil and Joe met in the Survival Trial.

On Tuesday night, Joe Swash was dropped from I'm A Celebrity South Africa's episode. After losing the most recent Survival Trial, where he faced Phil Tufnell, the former soap star, 41, said goodbye to the bush. The pair were held in snake-infested tombs and had to crack the codes to four locks in order to unlock them, with whoever came out first returning to camp.

They are mainly vegetarian and beans, so losing weight is only natural for them. The campmates debate their shifting bodies, but one camper claims they have somehow put weight on. Phil Tufnell, 57, addresses his weight loss in camp and says, "I can really feel my pelvis." It's really poking out! I'm like a toast rack.

In Wednesday's display, the I'm A Celebrity South Africa camp is supposed to be 'torn apart' as the campmates are split once more. The celebrities will be divided into two groups in a preview of a gruesome new bushtucker lawsuit, according to a tease from the upcoming episode of the ITV show Ant and Decoe. And it appears that things will get tense between the newly-formed rival camps as they're forced to go head-to-head, with Ant and Dec declaring: 'Let the battle commence!'

For the first time in the show's history, the stars of I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here! In a shocking twist, it will determine who will vote out of the camp. The stars will vote in scenes set to air on Tuesday night, choosing one celebrity who they feel should be voted out of the show. The decision will no doubt reignite controversy in the camp as the actors debate whether they've made the correct decision.

On Tuesday night, Joe Swash and Dean Gaffney will return to I'm A Celebrity... South Africa. Both Joe, 41, and Dean, 45, have previously appeared in the Australian jungle in the 2008 and 2006 series, but they will be making their return to the All Stars.
