Rylan Clark has shared a sneak peek at his new show Dating Naked UK.
The upcoming Paramount+ series, which was first announced last year, will see a group of contestants looking for love – all while naked.
Taking to his Instagram page, Rylan has given viewers a tour of the villa where all the action will take place ahead of the show's premiere on August 23.
"Hello you lovely lot," he begins the clip. "It is Rylan, and welcome to the brand new Dating Naked UK house. This is your first look at where our gorgeous daters are gonna be staying."
The presenter then proceeds to stop by some of the hotspots including the living area and kitchen, before teasing some of the ways he himself will be involved.
Introducing a concept called 'Radio Rylan', the star explains: "This is how I get to speak to the house and all of the daters, so I might be giving them a little surprise."
Rylan then shows off a set of drawers that contain mysterious contents, and in a suitably double-entendre way, he quips: "The daters need to keep an eye out for my drawers, because if they have a good rummage, they might find a nice surprise."
Dating Naked UK is based on the VH1 series from the US, which ran for three seasons between 2014 and 2016.
Speaking previously about the show, Rylan said it would "blow [viewers'] minds", adding: "Not only does it feature dating and drama, on top of that everyone will be totally starkers! You will not want to miss this."
It's the spinning cursor of life
A few short months after that shocking The Circle Season 6 finale, the Netflix competition favorite is coming back for a seventh bow — and soon.
The streamer has revealed a ton of new details about what fans can expect from The Circle Season 7, so here’s everything to know so far.
When does The Circle Season 7 premiere?
The series returns for its Season 7 premiere on September 11, when the first batch of four episodes will drop. Week two’s Episodes 5 through 8 will then arrive on September 18, Week three’s Episodes 9 through 12 will follow on September 25, and the finale will debut on October 2.
Is there a The Circle Season 7 trailer?
Yes! Netflix revealed the first trailer on August 14, showing the newest crop of contestants heading into their brightly designed apartments — in the same Atlanta, Georgia, building as shown in Season 6.
Who’s in the cast of The Circle Season 7?
Netflix has yet to announce the list of influencers and social hopefuls who’ll be competing for the $100,000 prize this season, but a few of them do appear in the teaser — although we don’t get to see the faces of the newest recruits in this first preview. One thing we do learn from the look-ahead, though, is that at least one newcomer will be bringing their cute doggo into play this season, which is sure to be a hit with the circle and audiences alike.
Who’s hosting The Circle Season 7?
Michelle Buteau returns to emcee this season again after hosting the show since its inception in 2020.
What else is there to know about The Circle Season 7?
Netflix’s Tudum reports that the new season will introduce yet another game-changing twist: “If you thought that AI twist last season was shocking, just wait until you see what’s in store this time around,” the streamer’s fansite teases.
Are New Yorkers ready to play some red light, green light?
Netflix says that it will open "Squid Game: The Experience" in New York City in October, letting people experience the thrill and stress of the popular series firsthand. The live experience will be based at the Manhattan Mall, and feature "Front Man" having participants test their skills and strategies in challenges inspired by the series (and yes, that includes red light, green light).
As with the original live Squid Game experience in Los Angeles last year, "Squid Game: The Trials," the New York experience will also include a night market with Korean-inspired food, snacks, and cocktails. The New York experience will also include a "Squid Mart," with collectibles, merchandise, and photo ops.
Squid Game: The Experience will be open Thursdays-Mondays starting Oct. 11, with tickets for individuals and groups going for sale here beginning Aug. 21.
Netflix says that it also plans to open other Squid Game experiences in Europe and Asia later this year, all timed to the season two debut of the popular series. Season two of Squid Game will debut after Christmas, with a third season also in the works. Netflix is also bringing back the reality competition series Squid Game: The Challenge.
And the live experience also comes as Netflix is set to significantly expand its live experiences business by opening two permanent Netflix Houses in Pennsylvania and Texas next year. Each Netflix House will include live experiences (like the ones it has launched based on Squid Game, Bridgerton, Stranger Things etc.), food, a store, photo-ops, and other features.

As The Price Is Right is on hiatus, the game show’s models enjoy time away to have fun in the summer.
That includes Alexis Gaube, who debuted as the show’s newest model in 2021.
When she’s not presenting prizes and getting spun by excited winners on the game show, she’s partaking in some fun adventures.
Alexis recently shared an Instagram carousel post showing her exciting getaway with a friend.
Based on her IG post’s geotag location, they attended the OC Fair in Costa Mesa, California.
“One Little Piggie wanted to Ride all the Scary Fair Rides 🐷🎡 The other Little Piggie wanted to Pet all the Farm Animals 🐷🐑🐄 Both Little Piggies ate all the Pickle /Hot Cheeto Fair Food they could find 🐷😂,” she wrote in her caption.
The first image features Alexis sipping a strawberry lemonade drink from a straw in a glass container. She’s also dressed down compared to the glamorous outfits she wears on The Price Is Right.
For the fair, the 35-year-old model wore a red baseball cap backward, with zebra print shorts and a greenish graphic tee featuring pictures of pickle jars.
A second photo shows Alexis posing for a selfie with her friend Lo VonRumpf, who hosts the Lo Life Podcast. In the background, tents and several rides are visible, including a large Ferris wheel.
Her third slide, a video, shows Alexis watching an All-Alaskan Racing Pigs show, which likely led to her little piggy references in the caption.
SAG-AFTRA and the four major television broadcast networks (ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox) and other producers have agreed to a one-year extension to the National Code of Fair Practice for Network Television Broadcasting Agreement (also known as the Network Television Code) effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. The agreement was scheduled to expire on June 30, 2024.
As part of the extension:
- All minimum rates shall be increased by 7% (including program fees, extra rehearsal rates, excess work day rates and overtime rates) for all classifications other than background actors and stand-ins.
- Minimum rates for background actors and stand-ins shall be increased by 11% (including program fees, extra rehearsal rates, excess work day rates and overtime rates)
- The contribution rate for the SAG-AFTRA Health Plan is increased by 0.5% effective Jan. 1, 2025.
- Substantial protections in artificial intelligence, similar to what was achieved in TV/Theatrical and Television Animation negotiations. The parties commit to beginning negotiations for a full three-year successor agreement to the Network Television Code no later than June 2, 2025.
The SAG-AFTRA negotiating committee consists of principal performers, background actors, stand-ins, promo announcers, singers and dancers.
The Network Television Code generates more than $200 million a year in covered member earnings and covers programming in nearly all television day parts as well as programming produced for streaming. Examples of current programs include dramas in first-run syndication, morning news shows, talk shows, serials (soap operas), variety, reality, contests, sports and promotional announcements. Current programs covered by this contract include Good Morning America, The Young and the Restless, Jeopardy, Saturday Night Live, The Masked Singer, The Voice, Dancing with the Stars, Last Week Tonight with John Oliver, the Oscars and the Super Bowl, to name a few.
Every weeknight, millions of Americans make a ritual of watching other Americans guess letters in word puzzles for a chance at up to a million dollars in cash and prizes. This fun, engaging institution has earned fifty-five Emmy nominations and has stayed among the top-rated syndicated series for more than forty years. Wheel of Fortune is only the second game show in the United States and one of only nine national entertainment series to have run more than half a century continuously—an impressive feat indeed.
I'd Like to Buy a Vowel: 50 Years of Spinning Wheel of Fortune celebrates the legacy of a series ingrained in the American psyche. People easily recognize its stars and catchphrases such as "I'd like to solve the puzzle." But most are unfamiliar about how it has become a success and has managed to maintain that status in the ever-competitive world of television. Exclusive interviews with participants backstage and in executives' offices reveal there's as much drama and excitement behind the show as on air. The book also tells the stories of several winners and memorable contestants on the show, from how they competed to get on the show to what their lives have been afterward. Be prepared to be amused, surprised and impressed about what is revealed in these pages.
Wesley Hyatt is the author of The Carol Burnett Show Companion (2016), Bob Hope on TV (2018) and Betty White on TV (2021), all for BearManor Media. This is his eleventh book.
And now let's end with milestone done by Matt Haas.
Then you know it's time for Livewire! Until next time, play on playas.
