Lembit Opik is supposed to be a politician, we know that most of you won’t be aware of that, given his flings with cheeky girls and his love of reality TV, but that is actually supposed to be his day job.

Simon Cowell may be in hot water yet again, after The Gambling Commission decided to launch an investigation into his ITV gameshow Red Or Black.
It has been reported that the gambling watchdog is concerned that the series – which aired on ITV1 last summer – may have glamorized betting by making it look ‘easy’ to win.
The series ran for seven nights and on each episode, one lucky contestant had the chance to walk away with a whopping £1 million, all based on a game of roulette.

Love in the Wild, hosted by Darren McMullen, consists of 10 single men and 10 single women taking part in a romantic adventure in Costa Rica.
