Tufnell's new TV project

Phil Tufnell, the winner of the reality TV show, I'm a Celebrity ... Get Me out of Here, is set to follow in the footsteps of the former England captain, David Gower, by becoming a team captain on the BBC One sports quiz They Think It's All Over.

Tufnell is currently negotiating a number of media offers after being crowned king of the jungle, and They Think It's All Over would suit his laconic style. The quiz is now in its eighth year, and the departing captains Gower and the former England football captain, Gary Lineker, were routinely made the butt of jokes by the comedians Lee Hurst, Rory McGrath and Jonathan Ross.

Ross, who hosts a chat show on BBC One (Tufnell is lined up as one of next week's guests), is to stay as one of the panellists, along with the host of the show, Nick Hancock. Contenders to be Tufnell's opposite number include Steve Davis, the snooker player, and the former Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies.
