Obviously nobody will ever replace Davina McCall, and Emma Willis was fantastic in her own right, but I feel like AJ Odudu and Will Best have really found their groove. The chemistry on Late & Live is fun, even if the crowd outside can be a bit chaotic during eviction nights. How do you think they compare to the Channel 4 and Channel 5 era hosts?

Getting it from four clues feels good. Getting it from three feels impressive. Two clues feels like witchcraft.

What's the earliest you've managed to correctly identify one without waiting for the next clue?

Beyond loud Bluetooth speakers, what’s the most frustrating thing you’ve seen on a UK trail recently? People abandoning bagged dog poo on bushes, groups blocking narrow stiles for lunch breaks, or wild campers leaving entire fire pits and plastic rubbish behind?

The peach, sweetened cream and fondant in that pastry shell just works, and it has a proper nostalgic feel to it. Although apparently it’s a North East-only Greggs thing, which might explain why half the country has never even tried one

I get that it freezes the mixture incredibly quickly and can give you a really smooth texture, but is the result genuinely better than ice cream made in a normal churner? Or is half the appeal that it looks absolutely brilliant on television?

Spent Saturday afternoon layering up spiced lamb mince and marinated thigh meat on a makeshift vertical skewer.

Smelled unreal while it was roasting away, and shaving it off with a sharp carving knife felt proper satisfying. Only issue is, without commercial-grade radiant heat, the outer layer didn't get that gorgeous crispy char fast enough before the inside started drying out. Still tasted banging stuffed into some flatbread with pickled chillies, but any backyard engineers out there have tips on getting that authentic kebab-shop crispiness at home?

This is probably one of the biggest cultural adjustments for people moving here. We're generally not going to start chatting to a stranger on public transport or immediately invite the new neighbour round for dinner. That doesn't necessarily mean people don't like you. Friendships can just take a while to develop, especially once you're past university age.

Anyone who moved here from abroad find this difficult at first?

With so many doors left open and family members scattered across the country, who would you love to see step out of a taxi on Coronation Street tomorrow?

I’m slowly building up my hiking kit and keep seeing people recommend completely different things. Ignoring the obvious boots and waterproofs, what’s one piece of kit you’ve found genuinely useful enough that you always carry it?

In the heat stages, contestants can get just 15 minutes to raid the market before having around 70 minutes to plan and cook their dish. Trying to come up with a balanced concept, prep raw meat or fish, execute complex cookery and still plate everything neatly feels wildly tight.

Half the time, it seems like a good idea can fall apart simply because a thick cut of lamb needs a little longer in the oven or a dessert hasn't quite set by serving time.

Would you prefer to see contestants given a bit more cooking time to show off better execution, or is the time pressure part of what makes MasterChef work?

If you had to pick one as the ultimate Traitor playbook, who takes it for you?

Personally, I think Clattenburg has done a fantastic job stepping into huge shoes without trying to do a cheap impression of John. How do you rate his performance as head ref?

Honestly, I lean slightly toward Alan because his sheer excitement and absurd one-liners always make me laugh out loud. Who brings the best energy to the judging desk on any given week?
