According to sources, Meghan has been left ‘extremely upset’ and feels Harry is disrupting their family set-up in Montecito. ‘Harry insists this isn't about him giving up on America, but he strongly wants his children to have a British education,’ an insider tells heat. ‘He believes the schools in the UK are better than in the US, and educating Archie and Lili there would not…

Youtube star Niko Omilana is ready to make his mark on the show. ‘I'll try and spice it up a little, bring a little bit of sauce to the game. I'll bring up the vibes,’ he promises. Revealing he wants to be a Traitor, Niko, 27, isn't afraid to admit he has a strategy. ‘I would just go for chaos. I love chaos and that's why I love the show. I want to be planting seeds in people's heads, stirring the pot,’ he says. ‘If you're a Faithful, the game plan is very different to the game plan for a Traitor. I've got things mapped out in my head, I have a game plan for both, but that could completely change.’…

It was a happy surprise when dancer Dianne Buswell recently revealed she is expecting her first child with boy friend Joe Sugg, just weeks before the launch of this year's Strictly. Partnered with Neighbours star Stefan Dennis, 66, Dianne could potentially be dancing until December.

Ever since The Traitors launched onto our screens in late 2022, TV execs have been scrambling to find their own game of deceit to entice viewers – with some more successful than others. But it might be the BBC themselves who have struck gold twice, as its new quiz show The Inner Circle has so far come closest to replicating the nail-biting suspense of the reality show while giving it a fresh format. And when heat was invited to spend the day on set in Glasgow with Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden – who has stepped into the role of quiz master – as she filmed a special celebrity instalment, we jumped on the train quicker than we could hit a golden buzzer.
