Series 2 of I’m A Celeb All Stars launches tonight and a sneak peek into the first episode shows TV comic Seann Walsh face his fear of heights in a grueling trial with Sinitta

Seann Walsh’s face is a petrified picture as he takes on the first challenge of the 2026 I’m A Celeb All Stars

The TV comic, who was a campmate on the 2023 show, has returned to the jungle for an All Stars stint – and made an unlikely pairing with 80s pop sensation Sinitta in a terrifying new trial. In a clip Sean can be seen screaming as he was forced to race the So Macho hitmaker across a bridge – but in true I’m a Celeb style it was 150ft in the air.

The two have to jump across a series of wooden platforms to cross a ravine. At one point, Seann is seen strapped into a wooden barrel as he takes on the trial. Butbefore his height-defying bridge cross with Sinitta, Seann is seen in a helicopter looking a little on the green side. Speaking about the trial Seann told The Sun: “It was terrifying. But the first time I went in with Matt Hancock, so it wasn’t as scary as that.”

Sky has just dropped the chilling first-look at the return of one of its best new thrillers coming back to screens very soon

A critically acclaimed comedy-thriller series that entranced countless fans back in 2024 is finally coming back for a second season.

Sweetpea starred Fallout’s Ella Purnell as shy wallflower Rhiannon Lewis, an unassuming newspaper assistant who has been either bullied or ignored her entire life.

After the sudden death of her father and reuniting with her school bully, Julia (played by Nicôle Lecky), something snaps in Rhiannon and she goes on a murderous rampage.

A synopsis for the second season reveals: “Navigating a new promotion, an irresistible rebound, and a copycat killer threatening to expose her, the kill list is mounting.

“And Rhiannon is forced to question whether her perfect ex AJ, was right: is she a monster?”

This week, Sky has dropped a tantalising new image from the second season of Sweetpea, which reveals Purnell back as Rhiannon.

In the snap, she’s donned a dark raincoat and emblazoned a wall with the word “monster” in what seems to be tomato ketchup.

Several new names are joining the main cast this time round, including Rish Shah (Overcompensating) as Rhiannon’s new love interest Gabriel, along with Tamsin Greig (Riot Women) as AJ’s mother, Liv.

Greig’s Riot Women co-star Taj Atwal will also feature as Freya, Rhiannon’s new boss, with Heartstopper’s Jenny Walser added as a new friend named Daisy.

Jon Pointing (Big Boys), Jeremy Swift (Ted Lasso), Leah Harvey (Foundation), Ingrid Oliver (Thursday Murder Club), Nitin Ganatra (Mr Bigstuff) and Alexandra Dowling (Game of Thrones) will all be reprising their roles from the first season.

Sweetpea season two is shaping up to be a must-watch thriller when it arrives at an unconfirmed date in 2026 after the first outing received rave reviews from fans and critics.

One IMDb user wrote: “I’ve waited a long time for this to come out on Sky, and it did not disappoint! Brilliant dark comedy, it’s right up my street. No spoilers here, just a basic review to say I loved it!

“I binged the whole series in one night, I just couldn’t turn off, the end of each episode leaving me wanting more, and to know ‘what next!?’ It may be a little slow to get started initially but it had me hooked straight away.”

Someone else gave it a strong recommendation: “If you like shows that dig deep into the dark corners of the human mind while still managing to throw in some wicked humour, Sweetpea is going to be right up your alley.
