Whether it's the weekly breakdown of everything going on in pop culture or a chat with some of the biggest names in entertainment, this podcast truly has something for everyone... providing you’re obsessed with celebrity. Entertainment veteran Jamie East is back on the scene and chatting to friends old and new about the oftentimes baffling world of showbiz and entertainment, bringing his old knack for finding the funny in the seriously weird world of celebs. Expect never-heard-before insight into what being a culture shaping, gossip mongering, modern celebrity looks like.

Tony Parsons is in the Trenches
2026/09/18
Best-selling author and legendary journalist Tony Parsons has spent 50 years in the trenches of celebrity, journalism and pop culture…and he’s got the stories to prove it. He joins Jamie to go right back to the beginning from answering an advert looking for “young gunslingers” at the NME to interviewing the Sex Pistols, Bowie, Fleetwood Mac and countless other icons during the most chaotic years of rock ’n’ roll. Tony tells us about his friendship with George Michael including the surprisingly generous deal the star insisted on giving him and reflects on what made George such a special person. He also talks about the phenomenal success of ‘Man & Boy’, the highs and lows of a career that has seen him become a multimillion-selling author and why even huge success doesn’t always mean you’re set for life. Tony lets us into what his new novel ‘Man & Dog’ has in store for us and why a dog could just change your life for the better. Welcome back to the celebrity trenches!

Is Sydney Sweeney Ragebaiting us?!
2026/09/16
Jamie and Alice are delighted that Jennifer Lawrence has finally joined Instagram. After years of avoiding social media J-Law has entered the chat, immediately racking up millions of followers and warning everyone that if they’re mean to her, she’s off. Naturally we have thoughts, and a few Instagram accounts we think she absolutely needs to follow! Big Brother is BACK and Jamie has watched the launch so you don't have to. We meet this year's housemates, discuss the rise of the YouTube “lock-in” and ask whether this series is going to give people the classic chaotic Big Brother they actually want? Sydney Sweeney stars in a new ad, and yes, it’s controversial. Are we all falling for the rage bait trick again? Or should this approach to advertising have died out in the 80s?! Alice and Jamie get into it ALL, plus the world of celebrity outrage marketing and why Sydney might have played the internet like a fiddle… It's another week in the celebrity trenches…strap in!

Celebrity merch has officially gone insane…
2026/09/09
In honour of Beyoncé selling a commemorative bee box for over $900, Jamie East and Alice Brine dive headfirst into the bizarre world of celebrity merch. Who’s tried flogging the best, weirdest, & downright vile items to the fans over the years? You’ll be AMAZED by this. Also on our cultural radar - we unpack the new Netflix documentary about Olympic breakdancer ‘Raygun’. Was she the victim of online trolls or was under-performing at the world’s biggest sporting event too much of a culture shock for her? Also, Jamie has a LOT to say about ITV’s latest Saturday night TV show ‘The Box’, & starts his one-man campaign to bring back a Saturday night classic TV show! In fashion news, Harry Styles appears to have jacked Jamie’s look (no, really) and Alice discovers that arguing with Sydney Sweeney’s fans on the internet is a full-time job. Another week, another absolute state in the celebrity trenches. Welcome back trench dogs! Tales from the Celebrity Trenches is brought to you by Sky Vegas. Got a tale from the trenches? Get in touch!

Tom Hardy’s a Rapper now. Deal with it!
2026/09/02
Jamie East and Alice Brine are back in the trenches with a preview of the Celebrity Traitors cast, and their predictions on who’s gonna smash it on the show. Plus, a revealing game about which one of the contestants Jamie or Alice could get on the phone in 30 seconds! Think: a showbiz ‘six degrees of separation’ with some VERY surprising results…! We preview Netflix’s latest reality TV show based on Willy Wonka’s Chocolate Factory. The big golden ticket prize? Unlimited money for life - but how much is that then? Also, how do we feel about OG Wonka film actor Gene Wilder’s voice being brought back by AI? And are we finally going to get some answers about the infamous milking of a giraffe?! Hollywood polymath Tom Hardy has got all bases covered: movie star, Jiu Jitsu fighter and now has a new career to share with us. Hands-up if you know what it is! Could Alice correctly guess what it was?! Jamie delves deep into his vault of classic showbiz stories to tell us about the time he ended up on the wrong side of Jeremy Clarkson. Oh, and we HAD to mention Vin Diesel’s truly *unforgettable* tribute to the late great Dolly Parton. Finally, Alice has unfinished business with Sydney Sweeney who recently tried wing-walking (standing on the wings of a biplane) while flying over Kent. Is Alice is just jealous? Or is wing-walking the new go-to celeb trend? YOU decide! All this, plus your Trench Dog voice notes, questionable questions and the usual showbiz tittle-tattle. Summer’s over, it's time to head back to the celebrity trenches! Tales from the Celebrity Trenches is brought to you by Sky Vegas. Got a tale from the trenches? Get in touch!

Harry & Meghan return: What's the PLAN?!
2026/08/26
This week Jamie East and Alice Brine dive head-first into the how’s, why’s & rumours surrounding Harry & Meghan (AKA The Sussexes’) planned return to the UK. Frank Ocean’s seminal album ‘Blonde’ turns 10, prompting a very important question: “which celebrities and artists just GET IT RIGHT every single time?” Frank, obvs. Jamie wants to tell you why! Also, are pop stars actually just glamorous content-making machines now? We ask whether artists are reinventing themselves because they want to… or because our attention-span is so short we get bored of them more easily?! Finally, we’re going BACK TO THE 90s! Hot on the heels of Jamie’s imaginary old skool dating TV format “Knocked-Up In The 90s” (listen back to last week’s show for the full story) you’ve been sharing your 90’s dating memories with us! (Or sometimes just wishing you were around then!) Think: phone numbers scribbled on toilet roll, spin the bottle, the dread of someone other than your date picking up your call on the family landline, and er, pagers. No really. All that, your HOT TAKES and plenty of trench dog chaos. Welcome back to the Celebrity Trenches! Tales from the Celebrity Trenches is brought to you by Sky Vegas. Got a tale from the trenches?

Brand Beckham: The Inside Scoop!
2026/08/19
The Beckhams are back in the trenches! Journalist and author Alison Boshoff joins Jamie and Alice to talk about her new book ‘Brand Beckham’, lifting the lid on David and Victoria and all the family drama that has had everyone watching VERY closely! Are the Beckhams the ultimate celebrity brand? Or has the whole thing become one giant family group-chat gone wrong? We talk Brooklyn, THAT first wedding dance & the fallout! In other news, Netflix has unleashed ‘Let’s Marry Harry’ and we have QUESTIONS! What makes 20 women want to compete to marry Harry Jowsey? Is this a new low for dating shows? Or is this just reflecting the “princess treatment” that some young men view as the new normal? Jamie and Alice share their hot-takes on the chaos, controversy and what the show says about the state of modern dating. Plus, we’ve all your listener’s comments & voice-notes as usual!

Tom & Zendaya: Have they NAILED celeb life?
2026/08/12
Tom Holland and Zendaya hosted a secret private party to celebrate their wedding (after getting married earlier this year) at a posh hotel, but are they also the nicest couple in Hollywood? Jamie has met them IRL (his story is WILD!) and he has a theory about how they’ve managed to be the biggest stars in the world AND survive the celebrity machine without completely losing the plot! Meanwhile, has Raye finally found the husband she’s been singing about? A rollercoaster, Michael B. Jordan and quite a lot of phone footage has us asking: Is this the soft launch of Hollywood’s hottest new couple? One very lucky New Yorker discovers she’s been living in a mega star’s old apartment AND has been receiving their mail, leading to one of the strangest celebrity meet-ups we’ve seen in a while! Plus, Will Ferrell’s musician son Magnus has a song out, and it’s actually alright. So where do we stand on nepo babies? Is being “born lucky” enough to get you “through the door” to global fame? Or do you actually have to be good to survive? Buckle up, it’s your Celebrity Trenches Weekly Dispatch! Tales from the Celebrity Trenches is brought to you by Sky Vegas. Got a tale from the trenches?

Ariana NEEDS A Break
2026/08/05
Welcome back, Trench Dogs, as we unveil this week’s incoming meteorites of news on our celebrity radar! Alice and Jamie dive headfirst into Ariana Grande’s sudden announcement that she’s taking a step back from public visibility after her ‘Eternal Sunshine’ world tour. Could anyone have predicted this? Do we underestimate the toll it takes being in the public eye? We react to Bruno Mars’ “audio-only" tickets sold for his recent Wembley gigs - where you can hear the gig, but can't see the stage OR sometimes even the screens! Is this the answer for budget-conscious gig goers? Or is it trading on the goodwill of super-fans who’ll do anything to see their idols? Elsewhere, classic 90s teen movie ‘Clueless’ is returning to our screens as a TV series, complete with Alicia Silverstone! Can a modern reboot ever live up to the iconic original? (I'm sure you can guess Jamie’s thoughts) Which reboots have worked? Which didn’t? Or is it just better to rewatch the classics we know & love? Holiday mode is still very much activated, so Jamie’s live from Cornwall, Alice is in her flat. Plus, she’s got a great take on a certain celeb who Alice thinks is one of the most honest celebs on socials at the moment! In other news, we cover making celebrity friends for life in the smoking area backstage at the Brit Awards years ago (who did Jamie befriend? How many tickets did he blag from them?). Plus, we can’t wait for Luke Littler’s new Netflix darts show. Could Jamie or Alice beat Luke at darts? You’ll have to listen to find out!

Holly on Youtube: Is TV Dead?
2026/07/29
This week, Alice and Jamie take a look at Tyra Banks’ new gig on ‘Project Runway’ (and her past on ‘America’s Next Top Model’). Is she now officially back in fashion? Or is Banks still in need of some runway redemption? YOU decide! Meanwhile - Is TV dead? Holly Willoughby’s back! She returns to our screens on Youtube. Is this the beginning of the end for TV as we know it? Or is starting your OWN channel the only way celebs can be in control of their careers? Elsewhere, the legendary singer of “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”, Bonnie Tyler, will have her funeral live-streamed for her fans across the world. Is saying farewell to your fave celeb just more “content”? Or has it become the done thing to do for “celebrity send-offs”? In other news, we talk about why influencers don’t make good TV hosts, why being a red carpet reporter is one of the hardest gigs in showbiz, Alice has an idea for what Claudia should do next, & Jamie takes us through his highlights of Latitude festival! Finally, as it’s summer, we’ve recorded this week’s episode at home - so if you watch us on Youtube you can be nosey & see what Jamie & Alice’s houses look like! Trench-dogs assemble!

Richard Bacon is in the Trenches
2026/07/24
This week Richard Bacon joins Jamie for a brilliantly nostalgic trip through the celebrity trenches, reflecting on the highs, the lows and complete madness of British television. Richard opens up about the infamous Blue Peter scandal that changed his life forever, why getting fired led to The Big Breakfast and how he accidentally found himself banned from Parliament for life after turning up with a six-foot rabbit. There's also stories from the wild days of Live TV, getting banned from his local McDonald's, Glastonbury disasters, '90s nostalgia, and why television used to feel like the most magical place on Earth. Along the way they discuss addiction, sobriety and the bizarre moments that only seem to happen in live broadcasting. It's honest, nostalgic and packed with behind the scenes stories from one of British television's most fascinating careers. Welcome to the Celebrity Trenches!

Can celebs ever UN-CANCEL themselves?
2026/07/22
James Franco has resurfaced on TikTok claiming he's seen an alien... but is this a genuine meltdown or Hollywood's strangest comeback strategy yet? This week Jamie and Alice dive into the bizarre return of James Franco and ask the big question: can cancelled celebrities ever really make a comeback? From Armie Hammer and Louis C.K. to Pete Doherty and Winona Ryder, they decide who deserves another chance and who should stay firmly cancelled. Elsewhere, they unpack the World Cup's star-studded new halftime show featuring Madonna, Justin Bieber, BTS and Shakira and ask why so many people thought it completely missed the mark.  Plus ITV's ‘The Voice’ lands itself in hot water after a bakery publicly exposes the show's request for free cake, sparking a conversation about celebrity freebie culture, blagging and whether public shaming is ever justified. Throw in your listener comments and plenty of dispatches from the deepest corners of celebrity culture and you've got another week in the trenches!

Pitbull Paparazzi Pandemonium
2026/07/15
Jamie East and Alice Brine are back with another Weekly Dispatch and this week Alice reports from the front line after surviving not one but two very different gigs.  From joining thousands of bald-cap-wearing Pitbull fans to becoming a world record holder to navigating the picnic blankets and “call the manager” energy of a Lewis Capaldi crowd, there’s plenty to unpack. Elsewhere, the pair dive into the strange world of paparazzi culture from Lando Norris’ hilariously unconvincing escape attempt to the clever tricks celebrities have used to outsmart the cameras.  Jamie also revisits some of the most infamous and shocking paparazzi moments in pop culture history proving that fame and flashbulbs have always been a chaotic mix. There’s also a chat with the Harry Styles tribute act who found himself face-to-face with the real thing at Wembley! As ever, expect hot takes, questionable analogies and plenty of celebrity chaos.

2026/07/08
Taylor Swift finally did it… and somehow turned Madison Square Garden into the most over-the-top wedding venue of all time! Jamie and Alice unpack THE celebrity event of the century, from Adam Sandler officiating and Paul McCartney performing, to Cartier claw machines, and one very questionable white tuxedo. Also is someone selling wedding napkins on eBay? Jamie nerds-out, transatlantic style, with our very own NYC reporter Margaret Abrams with all the rumours & fallout from Taylor & Travis’ wedding. Alice has a champagne hangover after going to the F1, so she lifts the lid on what VIP hospitality at Silverstone is really like at the British Grand Prix. Including: Henry Cavill sightings, backstage access and Martin Brundle's latest awkward celebrity interview. Harry Styles shares a wholesome moment with his own lookalike at Wembley, Adele sparks new album rumours, and the Trench Dogs are back in force. Welcome back to the Celebrity Trenches!
