A League of Their Own is looking like a rather healthy panel show. The Sky1 sports palaver has wormed its way well and truly into viewers' hearts, and it's now back for another series with James Corden, Jack Whitehall, Freddie Flintoff and Jamie Redknapp.
We sat down with the guys to find out what we can expect from the new series, whether James is quitting for the Us, and whether we'll see Neil Ruddock in pants again (what do you think?) Read on for all the gossip...
1. They're all happy to be back.
"This is the series I've enjoyed the most," James said. "I just think the shows we've done have been really good. I said to my wife the other day, 'I'm enjoying this so much it shouldn't be allowed to be called work'. That's the absolute truth. I think we've done some really fun things and good guests.

You couldn't get much more '90s than Tfi Friday. Even if you watched an episode of Friends while wearing a fisherman's hat with Shed Seven playing 'Chasing Rainbows' at the same time in your living room, it still wouldn't be as '90s as Chris Evans stood at a bar, shouting "Wiiiiiilll" in between bursts of 'The Riverboat Song'.
So when Chris Evans revealed over the Bank Holiday that Channel 4 had approached him to revive the show to mark its 20th anniversary next year (it isn't actually 20 until 2016, but let's not quibble over small details), there were understandably a few groans from people who thought the rowdy entertainment show should be left in the decade of Cool Britannia, Hooch and Kula Shaker.
But we disagree, for the five following reasons:
1. Tfi was live. Tfi was unpredictable.
Well, it was normally live. It was until Shaun Ryder...

Liverpool have a long and illustrious history, and inevitably have produced some wonderful players over the years both in terms of homegrown talents – like Steven Gerrard, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen and Jamie Carragher – and marquee signings – Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, Sami Hyypia and Luis Suarez. The successes of that illustrious lot were unrivalled in the red of Liverpool, but they were not the only players to sign or come through the ranks on the crest of a wave of optimism and expectations.
And sometimes, sadly, some of those players will fail.
Anfield is a wonderful place to ply your trade, but the pressure that comes with it is enormous. The fans are among the most passionate, and the most loyal around, but they also demand a certain standard. If a player is bought for big-money then they inevitably expect to see them justify their price tag on the pitch.

From Kevin Keegan’s ‘Entertainers’ side of the mid-nineties to Sir Bobby Robson’s Champions League chasers of the noughts and even current shot-shy crop under Alan Pardew’s stewardship; the Premier League era has been rich in memorable goals for Newcastle supporters.
In the last quarter-of-a-century we’ve been blessed with an array of domestic and exotic talent capable of spectacular scoring feats in a black and white shirt with a special few able to boast their own personal highlight reel while some players are remembered for an isolated moment of exceptional brilliance.
We all have our favourite goal. Some are the 30-yard screamers that sizzle into the top corner, others the product of a dazzling run and composed finish or a breathtaking piece of skill. All aesthetically pleasing in their own right.
Newcastle have hit the net over a 1,000 times in...

Are you simply nuts about football? Then you should be mates with micro-artist Quentin Devine.
Devine has painstakingly carved portraits of five England footy greats into Brazil nuts in time for this summer's 2014 World Cup in Rio. Why? Well, just because he can.
The artist went through over 50 nuts, each measuring 1.5 by 2cm, averaging 96 hours.
David Beckham, Gary Lineker, Wayne Rooney, Paul Gascoigne and Alan Shearer are given their own nutty equivalents. Though, Gary may only be interested in the crisp variety.
The nuts have been made to tie in with Dave's show England's Top 19 Footy Heroes, which kicks off its World Cup coverage tomorrow (May 20) at 9pm.
Devine said: "When Dave asked me to carve the faces of five of England's most loved football legends out of Brazil nuts I knew it would be a challenge. The nuts can be very oily and extremely brittle but I think I...
