Talking of Radio 1, Chris Moyles has announced on his breakfast show that he is planning to take part in that previously announced Celebrity X-Factor show, and as the BBC are now reporting on it, I can only presume that he's serious. He told Radio 1 listeners: "I am going to do it. I think it's pretty much all signed, sealed and delivered."
Moyles went on to say that he was looking forward to taking on Simon Cowell, but claimed that he would not be taking the competition too seriously, adding that he is hoping to be voted off on the first night as, quote: "you still get the same money".
Celebrity X-Factor is to run for eight consecutive nights on ITV1 commencing 29 Jun, and will follow the same format as the proles' version, with each of the three categories - under 25s, over 25s and groups - each being championed by one of the three judges - Sharon Osbourne, Louis Walsh and the aforementioned Cowell. The producers say they will not confirm contestants names until next week.
