ITV has unveiled a new prime-time series titled “Celebrity Sabotage,” set to fill the slot previously occupied by “Saturday Night Takeaway.” The six-episode series will feature celebrities collaborating to prank unsuspecting members of the public, who believe they are participating in a reality show for a cash prize.
The format combines hidden camera antics, reality TV elements, and game show challenges, aiming to deliver high-stakes humor and entertainment.
Also, Katie Rawcliffe, ITV’s Director of Entertainment and Daytime, expressed enthusiasm for the new show, stating, “We are thrilled to bring ‘Celebrity Sabotage’ to our audience.
This engaging format promises plenty of laughs and entertaining surprises.” Richard Cowles from Lifted Entertainment, the production company behind the series, added, “Our team is excited to showcase celebrities in a new light, as they orchestrate pranks that will keep viewers on the edge of their seats.”
Filming for “Celebrity Sabotage” is scheduled to commence in 2025, with broadcasting details to be confirmed at a later date. This announcement comes as part of ITV Studios’ new content lineup unveiled at the London TV Screenings 2025.
The long-awaited trial in the murder case of legendary rapper Tupac Shakur has reached a major development, with Duane “Keffe D” Davis sentenced to 40 years to life in prison on October 13, 2026.
Davis was convicted of first-degree murder in August 2026 for his role in orchestrating the 1996 killing. Tupac was shot in a drive-by attack in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996, and died six days later.
During the sentencing, the judge addressed Davis, rejecting his claims that he had changed his life and moved on from his past. “Mr. Davis, for three years, I’ve heard you say some variation of the same thing to law enforcement, [in interviews], in your book, and it’s something like, ‘Yeah, I was involved in this, but I’m different. I’ve moved on. I got out of Compton. I’m a grandfather now.’ I’m here to tell you that’s not how this works,” the judge said.
She continued “You don’t get to take a man from his family. You don’t get to take his very life, his whole future from him, and just walk away from it. Especially when that man is Tupac Shakur.
“The world never forgot about him and his death, and neither did Las Vegas. It took us 30 years, but at this time, you are going to face justice for what you did on Sept. 7, 1996.”
Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has reflected on how his perception of YouTube movies has changed over the years. The actor recalled that there was a time when he looked down on movies released on YouTube.
However, he now appreciates the opportunities they have provided for his career and joked that he might have struggled financially if he had continued to dismiss them.
Sharing his thoughts in a post on X, Egbuson wrote “Can’t believe I was looking down on YouTube movies at some point. Hunger go don kpai me by now.”
Nigerian singer Timi Dakolo has advised young people who are still living with their parents not to rush into moving out because of peer pressure.
The singer encouraged young people to focus on their personal circumstances rather than compare their lives with those of others. He noted that there is no need to leave their parents’ homes simply because they want to feel independent.
Sharing his advice, Dakolo said “No hurry, leave your papa house because of peer pressure. Forget all that, ‘I don’t have my freedom here.’”
