GYPSY QUEEN 

Newlywed Venezuela Fury, 16, in talks for huge new TV series about her ‘chaotic’ life as a teen gypsy bride

VENEZUELA FURY is set to star in her own fly-on-the-wall show after her wedding proved a big hit on her family’s Netflix series.

The eldest daughter of heavyweight boxer Tyson Fury has caught the eye of TV execs who think watching her navigate her new life as a teen wife would be TV gold.

I can reveal that Venezuela, 16, is at the centre of a bidding frenzy over who can secure the rights to her home life after she married scrap metal worker and fellow Traveller Noah Price last month.

The couple have since moved into their own caravan and regularly update their social media followers about their life behind closed doors, sharing cooking and decor tips.

A TV insider said: “The couple are not A-list celebrities but everyone has become obsessed with their love story.

“People are genuinely intrigued by them. Whether it’s the fact they have married so young, Venezuela’s famous family or their gypsy lifestyle, they have the ‘X factor’.

“Several TV executives think a proper fly-on-the-wall series following their lives as newlyweds in the gypsy community would be fascinating.”
Netflix is likely to win the war as the streamer already has a working relationship with the Fury family.

Their series, At Home With The Furys, became an instant hit when it dropped in 2023 and filming is already under way on a third series, which is due later this year.

But other mainstream channels are circling, looking to deal a knockout blow to their streaming rival.

Sounds like they have a fight on their hands.

Official: Xmas axe for Who

THE Doctor Who Christmas special has been axed by the BBC – just as I exclusively revealed last month.

It also marks the end of Russell T Davies’ tenure as showrunner of the sci-fi show, which has been slammed in recent years for being too woke under his control.

He posted a message on Instagram yesterday, claiming the Beeb had originally “cooked up” the idea that there would be a festive episode special but there had been no firm plans for one.

That is in stark contrast to the announcement made last October by the BBC’s drama boss, Lindsay Salt.

In a statement yesterday, the Beeb said the decision to axe the Christmas special had not been “taken lightly” and it would focus on a new series of the Doctor’s adventures further down the line.

I wouldn’t hold your breath for them.

Casey’s Dale’s drama

THE Sugden dynasty is growing in Emmerdale – as a West End star joins the infamous clan.

Casey Al-Shaqsy joins the ITV soap’s longest-running family as Serena, who finds herself at the heart of the Dales drama from the get-go. With suspicions around her sudden arrival and where her loyalties lie, she doesn’t receive the warmest of welcomes.

Having starred in hit shows Hamilton, Wicked and Six: The Musical, Casey says she is delighted to be trading the theatre for TV.

“I’m absolutely thrilled to be joining such an iconic show and to be playing a Sugden,” she said. “Serena is fantastic with so much going on beneath the surface.”

We’ll see Serena on screen later this month.

DATING show I Kissed A Girl returns for its second – and last – series later this month.

Host Dannii Minogue will be back to welcome a new batch of singles to Italy for a summer of love.

The Beeb confirmed the LGBTQ+ series will drop on iPlayer and BBC Three on June 23.

COMEDIANS Daisy May Cooper and Guz Khan have teamed up with internet prankster Max Fosh and Sky to come up with an inspirational message to help the nation support women’s cricket ahead of the T20 World Cup. Their YouTube video will go live at 4pm today.

Footy quest for KSI

7

BRITAIN’S Got Talent host KSI takes fans behind the scenes of his latest challenge – as boss of an Essex football club –in a new YouTube special.
Race To The Top landed yesterday and documents his first weeks as co-owner of Dagenham and Redbridge FC.

It comes after actors Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney were seen trying to turn around the fortunes of their club, Wrexham AFC on Disney+ hit Welcome To Wrexham.

The social media star says his global appeal will help the National League South side, and he has the Premier League in his sights.

A passionate KSI says: “I want my baby to perform at the highest level at all times.”

But the path won’t be easy – with The Daggers failing to reach the play-offs.

KSI adds: “Next season things get proper. We need a new manager, new players and to get promoted.”

Sounds like a full series is KSI’s goal.

Leading actors Seas day

THERE will be some big names on board Channel 5’s The Good Ship Murder.

Doctor Who star Peter Davison joins the show as Eddie, the dad of copper-turned-cabaret-singer Jack Grayling (Shayne Ward).

I revealed earlier this month that Peter would set sail for series four of the murder mystery hit.

And Smack The Pony’s Fiona Allen is another new recruit, playing the ship’s trailblazing new captain, Serena Teller.

Fiona said it was “an honour to be at the helm of The Good Ship Murder”.

All hands will be on deck this series with a long list of guest stars including ex-Coronation Street actors Rula Lenska and Debra Stephenson.

Bridgerton brothers reunited

THE Bridgerton brothers meet up for a surprise reunion that would have caught even the all-knowing Lady Whistledown off guard.

For the first time in years, the actors who play the siblings gathered to reminisce about their early days on the set of the Netflix Regency romance.

Jonathan Bailey, who plays eldest brother Anthony, recalled how, in series one, they were told to take inspiration from another famous family.

“That was when they were like, ‘The Bridgertons are like the Kardashians’,” he revealed.

At Netflix’s Generation N photobooth, he was joined by Luke Thompson, who stars as Benedict, Luke Newton, who plays Colin, and Will Tilston, who portrays youngest brother Gregory.

Jonathan has big dreams about what the foursome can do together next.

“I was thinking we could be a bobsleigh team,” he mused. “What about ‘Four Men and a Little Baby?’ Instead of Take That, it’s Take This . . . ”

Bridgerton fans would be delighted.
