Phillip Schofield’s swift return to TV on Channel 5 over the weekend has generated plenty headlines and the move has clearly dominated chatter at rival broadcasters.

Speaking at the Channel 4 annual results briefing today, programs boss Ian Katz criticized Paramount-owned Channel 5 for failing to appropriately challenge the ex-This Morning presenter, who resigned in disgrace last year following an inappropriate relationship with a much younger runner.

The show features the former morning show host taking on physical and mental challenges while dwelling on his own controversial story. During the first ep, Schofield criticized the way he had been treated by his former ITV stablemates without challenge, including former co-host Holly Willoughby, with whom he was very close before his departure.

Matt Hancock was paid £320,000 to appear on last season’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here and a further £45,000 for Channel 4’s Celebrity Sas: Who Dares Wins, UK parliamentary documents have revealed.

Channel 4 has enjoyed a swipe at the ongoing cost of living crisis in a message marking the 100th anniversary of the BBC.

The broadcaster celebrated its centenary on 18 October, having originally been established back in 1922.

In a tweet, rival broadcaster Channel 4, which was not founded until 60 years after the BBC, wished it a “Happy Birthday”, but took the chance to make a joke about the current state of the UK.

“Happy Birthday @BBC on your 100th birthday!” wrote the official Channel 4 account, alongside a “party popper” emoji.

“When you were founded we had a King, no one knew if they could afford to put their heating on and we’d just lived through a global pandemic. Times really do change!”

The BBC itself is marking the occasion in a number of ways.

From the 24 to 28 October, the popular topical series The One Show is being renamed The One Hundred...

“Is Liz Truss’ absence explained by her moonlighting as the female interrogator in Celebrity Sas: Who Dares Wins?” someone else joked.

On the season finale of the show, Calum Best, as well as Smith, Pritchard and McCann,...
