Now we can exclusively reveal 8 Out of 10 Cats favourite Jon Richardson will try his hand in the famous white tent.

It comes nine months after he finalised his divorce from fellow Channel 4 star Lucy Beaumont, paying out £1.625 million as part of the settlement.

A source said: “Bosses are over the moon that they signed up Jon. He is hilarious, so will bring the laughs to the tent, and he’s hugely popular with viewers.

“It’s been a tough year for Jon following his split from Lucy, so this has given him some light relief and it’s all for charity, so that’s an added bonus.”

The Sun has contacted a show rep for comment.

Other celebs who will seek Paul Hollywood‘s coveted handshake include Rag ‘N’ Bone Man, Molly-Mae Hague, comedian Babatunde Aleshe and Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa.

Comedy fans were shocked last April when Jon and fellow comic Lucy announced they had split after nine years of marriage.

In November, Lucy, 41, was linked to sound engineer Martin Wallace after they were pictured leaving a theatre together.

Not long after, Jon, 42, gave a rare update on his own love life when he hosted a special comedy gig for Absolute Radio in London.

He was joined by a stellar line-up including Dara O’Briain, Josh Widdicombe and Loose Women‘s Judi Love.

Judi’s stand up routine saw her talk about the challenges of dating over 40.

Her words clearly made an impression on Jon, who said: “It makes me think I’m so happy being single.”

Later in the show, he also spoke of the joys of no longer having to run the tap while going to the loo in a hotel room now he has it all to himself as a singleton.

AS THE weather heats up, iPhone users have been warned to look out for an important notification on their devices. 

Temperatures are set to reach 30C today, which could mean that it becomes more difficult to use your iPhone.

iPhone users have been warned about an important notification[/caption]

When an iPhone becomes too hot, it may begin displaying a notification which blocks users from accessing their device. 

The notification reads: “Temperature: iPhone needs to cool down before you can use it.”

iPhones can normally operate as normal  between 0C to 35C, but leaving them in sunlight can cause them to become exceptionally hot. 

The notification is designed to protect your device’s battery life. 

On Apple’s website, the company warns against leaving your device in your car on a hot day. 

The brand also warns against leaving your device in direct sunlight or for using GPS devices or graphic-intensive games in hot conditions. 

Users are advised to store their devices in temperatures between -20C and 45C.

Devices can be stored in more extreme temperatures because they will not be in use, allowing the iPhone to regulate its internal temperature. 

The news comes as the UK prepares for a heatwave over the weekend. 

Friday evening saw a wave of thunderstorms across the UK, with 30,000 lightning strikes hitting the country.

Businesses in Dorset battled with major flooding, with 80mm of rainfall washing through the streets.

Now, temperatures are set to rise to 30C. 

Ahead of the temperature rises, Met Office Deputy Chief Meteorologist Mike Silverstone said: “As temperatures rise this week, it is possible heatwave thresholds could be reached in some parts of the UK, particularly the northwest Midlands, northwest England and northeast Wales, however it is very dependent on cloud cover later this week, so it is not a certainty.”

ONE proud shopper announced he’d snapped up the ‘bargain of the year’ after he bagged a £50 garden toy for just £1.

The Giant Rocking Planet inflatable is ideal for keeping your little ones off their gadgets and instead, outside in nature.

The shopper was stunned to pick up this £50 toy for just £1 after using the B&M scanner[/caption]

It is for children aged eight and above, and it comes with a battery-operated pump.

The toy was originally £50 before it was reduced to £20, then it plummeted to just £1.

The cost-cutting customer shared a snap of the product on B&M Scanner and Other Bargains Facebook.

He added a screen grab with information to help other shoppers find it in their local stores.

“Just found the bargain of the year!! £50!!!! Down to £1,” he wrote.

Other shoppers flocked to the comment section, with one writing: “Super bargain!”

Another shared a photo of her own giant inflatable and wrote: “Thank you! Just got one.”

A third wrote: “Omg my autistic son would loooooove this!!!!!”

“I’ve been looking everywhere for one of these! I saw them a few years ago and they’ve never had them again!” chimed a fourth.

The product code is: 394873 and the B&M scanner noted that the inflatable is subject to availability.

He’d discovered the major deal by using the B&M free barcode scanner.

The tool allows shoppers to discover discounted items before the staff have even reduced them.

The scanner lets you see if the item’s price is cheaper than advertised on the shop shelf.

Products that are typically discounted are seasonal items and old stock that B&M is trying to shift, or they’re labelled “big brands” and “big savings”.

It’s a terrific hack to use, especially since the cost of living keeps rising and inflation might hit 15% by the end of the year.

B&M bargains often differ from store to store and customers are warned that some products are available in selected stores only.

To avoid a wasted trip, contact your local branch to check their stock.

To find your nearest, use the online store locator tool.

The garden toy is made in the shape of Saturn, with a large ring running around the outside for children to climb on.

There are handles on the sphere for kids to hold on as they rock from side to side.

Another shopper was thrilled with the deal, and treated her kids to a inflatable boxing ring and slide too.

“Grand total of £12 for £150 worth of toys! Slide was £10 and the other two were £1 each,” she wrote on the same Facebook group.

If you’re looking to turn your garden into a fun-filled play area for your kids, B&M has you covered with more incredible offers.

The discount store is flogging a huge inflatable slide for just £10.

A shopper shared the deal on the same Facebook page and wrote: “Yesterday’s find at B&M.”

Attached to the post was a picture of a Gigantic Garden Slide, originally priced at £50.

A sale sticker had been placed on the box, to say it had been reduced to £30, however, when the shopper got to the till, it had been reduced to just £10.

The bargain buy is six feet long when inflated and promises “slip’n, slide’n fun”.

It is suitable for children over three and includes a battery-operated pump.

B&M said: “Unleash the fun in the sun with this epic giant inflatable slide!

“Watch as the kids’ smiles reach new heights – It’s the ultimate entertainment for endless summer fun.”

Shoppers raced to the comments section of the Facebook posts to tag their friends and share the bargain with them.

One shopper pointed out that the slide is from last year’s stock, so may not be available to buy in your local.

A FUMING Le Mans driver needed to be restrained by stewards as he punched and kicked a rival’s car.

In an insane start to Race 2 of the Le Mans Cup – before the iconic 24 Hour endurance race – Ferrari 296 GT3 driver Gino-Generoso Forgione was put out of the race after a collision with Josep Mayola Comadira.

Several drivers had crashed out of the race in the early chaos after No.8 Team Virage LMP3 spun after making contact with the No.29 Forestier Racing by VPS LMP3.

And Forgione, driving the Ferrari No.21, was left fuming as he was caught up in it when Comadira collected his rival by bumping him and spinning him around.

The incident left both cars stranded on track and brought out the safety car.

Forgione was seen getting out of his car and marching over to Comadira’s No.23 Biogas Ferrari.

As he approached the Swiss driver lifted up his helmet visor and broke into a trot before unleashing a kick into the side of the car.

The 61-year-old followed this up with a flurry of punches to the car window.

Race stewards rushed over to restrain him, as Forgione continued to hit the car, now raining hammer fists down on the roof, before he was dragged away.

TNT Sports commentator Martin Haven was left stunned by the act, remarking: “It was not a moment of which he will be particularly proud of.

“As you can understand, racing at Le Mans and getting tagged out in the first corner is not going to leave you feeling very happy.

“The problem is, everyone is checking up there because of the spinning Porsche.

“He has spun because he is checking up because the cars in front are slowing down dramatically.”

Fellow commentator Graham Goodwin added: “It is not giving Gino-Generoso Forgione any credit at all for the behaviour at the end there.

“But he will feel that he checked up and the car behind did not…

“Yeah, not very happy is the international sign language there.”

A remarkable 19 former F1 racers are competing in the iconic 24 Hours of Le Mans this weekend, including Jenson Button, Mick Schumacher and Kevin Magnussen.

LUKE LITTLER and Luke Humhpries have been sent a fierce warning ahead of their World Cup of Darts clash against Germany.

The England pair face Ricardo Pietreczko and Martin Schindler in the round of 16 in Frankfurt tonight.

Littler had previously gotten into a spat with Pietreczko and controversially slated Germany because of crowd problems.

He posted on Instagram: “Shouldn’t have been in Munich but had to play anyway.

“Next one in Germany for me is Dortmund and I am glad to say that.”

Pietreczko – nicknamed ‘Pikachu’ – said: “I think it was a very funny game against both Lukes, because Luke Littler says never come back to Germany.”

Schindler added: “I think the fans are going to play a major role in that.

“If we are going to play against bigger nations, England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Scotland or Netherlands or whoever, there are so many good names in it right now.

“I think this probably is the best World Cup to be in and we are very happy about the support we are getting from the fans.”

Littler clashed with ‘Pikachu’ in March when the German confronted him after being beaten.

Pietreczko explained: “Well, I really appreciated him being able to play a game like that at such an age, but I hope his arrogance punishes him.”

Littler claimed he had no idea what he had done wrong but acknowledged “everyone wants to beat him”.

Away from the oche, the top two players in the world, Humphries and Littler, were both awarded an MBE on Friday as part of the King’s Birthday Honours list for their contributions to sports.

The award is a glaring example of how darts’ growing appeal paralleled the pair’s rise to the top.

Humphries said: “I’m extremely honoured and delighted to be receiving an MBE in the King’s Birthday Honours for services to darts.

“To be recognised by the King for what I have achieved, and also for my contribution to playing in and promoting the sport that I love, is something that I never thought possible, but I’m very grateful that it has become a reality.”

They continued: “We are going to make things right with you, and you will find refund information at the end of this message, but let’s start with the next steps.

“The number one thing we need from the Bonnaroo community is patience.

“Some of your fellow campers’ sites are in rough shape.

“The rain has settled in areas and made certain parts of Outeroo difficult to manage.”

They added: “We’d like to prioritize getting those folks as well as those with accessibility needs off The Farm as soon as possible this evening.

“To do this, we ask that if your campsite is in good shape or if you’re in an RV or pre-pitched accommodation, please consider spending the night with us and we’ll start working to get you out of here safely tomorrow.”

The statement concluded: “We will continue to operate as usual in Outeroo including food vendors and all health and safety infrastructure.

“We have put our hearts and souls into making this weekend the most special one of the year, and cannot express how crushed we are to have to make this decision.

The festival also detailed what would be refunded for fans.

The Merseysiders will pay the 2023/24 Bundesliga champions a whopping £116.5MILION for the 22-year-old.

Liverpool have fended off the likes of Bayern Munich, Manchester City and Real Madrid to land Wirtz, who has reportedly been handed a mammoth five-year contract.

And according to Sky Sports, the German will pocket a whopping £245,000 a week during his Anfield stay.

That works out to a £12.7m a year, a fee which is nearly TWELVE TIMES what he earns at the BayArena.

A massive £10.2m of that figure is guaranteed for the attacking midfielder, who will pocket the remaining £2.5m if individual and team performance targets are met.

Wirtz’s salary will make him the THIRD HIGHEST-PAID player at Anfield ahead of Andy Robertson, Alexis Mac-Allister, Alisson, Ryan Gravenberch, Federico Chiesa, Diogo Jota and Darwin Nunez.

Only Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk, who both inked new deals with the Prem champions last season, will earn more than him.

Egyptian Wizard Salah currently takes home a staggering £400k a week, which works out to be a jaw-dropping £20.8m.

Dutch defender Van Dijk, meanwhile, earns the same annual salary thanks to the bumper new two-year deal he inked in April.

Wirtz will be joined at Anfield by his former Leverkusen team-mate Jeremie Frimpong.

The Dutch defender became the Reds’ first signing of the summer late last month.

After the completion of his £29.5m move, the 24-year-old said: “Liverpool fans, I’m going to give my all.

“My energy, my work-rate. And hopefully, we can win together, we celebrate together, get everything together.

“I’m just excited to be here. Thank you guys for accepting me.

“And I won’t let you guys down and I’ll give you the energy that you guys want.”

Chelsea and Man City are in for a serious payday...

A manhunt is underway after a US politician and her husband have been killed by a shooter ‘impersonating a police officer’.

Minnesota state representative Melissa Hortman and her husband were killed at their homes, governor Tim Walz confirmed.

State senator John Hoffman and his wife were also shot in their home but are expected to survive after surgeries.

The attack happened in the early hours of this morning in the suburban city of Brooklyn Park, where a shelter-in-place order is in effect.

An SUV ‘equipped to look like a police vehicle’ was found abandoned as the suspect fled the scene.

Inside, police allegedly discovered a ‘manifesto’ naming other Minnesota politicians, who have since been put under enhanced protection.

Donald Trump confirmed he has been briefed on the shooting, which Walz said appears to be a ‘politically motivated assassination’.

Walz said an ‘unspeakable tragedy has unfolded in Minnesota, adding that the state has lost a ‘great leader’ and he has lost a ‘great friend’.

During a press conference, he said: ‘We must all, in Minnesota and across the country, stand against all forms of political violence. Those responsible for this will be held accountable.’

Public Safety Commissioner Bob Jacobson said the suspect was posing as a police officer.

He said: ‘Suspect exploited the trust of our uniforms, what our uniforms are meant to represent.

‘That betrayal is deeply disturbing to those of us who wear the badge with honor and responsibility.’

Police Chief Mark Bruley said the suspect fled out of the back of Hortman’s house after an exchange of gunfire with police.

The suspect was dressed like a uniformed officer and operating a vehicle that ‘looked exactly like an SUV squad car.’

Bruley added: ‘It was equipped with lights, emergency lights and looked exactly like a police vehicle.’
