New ITV show-Poms in Paradise


Next Wednesday sees the launch of new ITV show Poms in Paradise, which follows the lives of Britons who have chosen to up sticks and settle in Australia's Gold Coast, lucky things. The documentary style programme will reveal what the expats' lives are like after they make the radical move and if their new home really is paradise.
One man who has emigrated to Oz is 31-year-old Welshman Stuart Snell (pictured), who is a champion in Surf Life Saving, a fusion of the Iron Man challenges and lifeguarding skills. The show follows him as he prepares for this year's first event, a gruelling 500 metre swim through the surf. The programme also meets Marcus and Lorraine and their daughter Sky, who arrived Down Under a year ago and say they are better off than in the UK, despite doing the same jobs.But Lorraine is struggling with being so far away from her family. Then there is Frank, who moved to Australia from Ireland after a bad break-up, and now works in the tropical rainforest near the Gold Coast, nice work if you can get it.

Poms in Paradise is on at 7.30pm on Wednesday 11 May.

Peter Andre The Next Chapter Spoiler


The first episode in the new series, which airs on ITV2 this month, sees Peter on the road for his brand new arena tour.

Following a week of rehearsals, the tour starts with a warm up show in Minehead, which Pete is really excited about. However things take a turn for the worse when he’s rushed to hospital in agony with kidney stones. Thankfully, Pete responds well to emergency surgery and manages to do the show, but reluctantly follows the doctor’s orders and tones down his dance routines.

The tour kicks off properly in Birmingham. By this time Pete is feeling much better and puts his full energy into the gig, which impresses his family and friends.

In the Manchester leg of his tour, Peter is joined by two VIPS- Junior and Princess. However Junior is more taken with one of the tour dancers Christina then his dad's moves.

Then on to the 02 in London, which Peter is terrified by, but the crowd go wild and he is completely blown away. Peter’s then girlfriend Elen Rivas is also watching the show and tells him how much she enjoyed it. He explains that the couple are taking things slowly.

Next we follow Peter as he attends the London premiere of Harrison Ford’s new movie, ‘Morning Glory’. Although the next morning he is woken to bad news that there has been major flooding in Queensland. He calls his father, who lives in Oz with the family, to see if they are ok and learns that the Gold Coast hasn’t been affected.

On the weekend, Peter invites celebrity chef Gino D’Acampo and his family round for lunch. Gino shows him and the kids how to prepare the perfect antipasti and fresh pasta. Peter finds that the pair have a lot in common and decides to make a conscious effort to build on their friendship.
