Beloved TV channel shuts down TONIGHT on Sky and Virgin Media after more than ten years of broadcasting

A MAJOR name in broadcasting will disappear from screens tonight after more than ten years on-air.

The channel has been a staple on Sky, Virgin Media and Freeview since bursting onto the scene in October 2014.

But there will be a new channel to take its place from Monday morning.

ITVBe is closing down and being replaced with a new channel called ITV Quiz.

It will air some of the firm’s “market-leading UK quiz and game shows”.

These include Wheel of Fortune, Tipping Point, Lingo, Tenable, the rebooted Deal or No Deal and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.

However, eagle-eyed viewers noticed that fan favourite The Chase is missing from the schedule at launch.

Meanwhile, some of ITVBe’s top shows are moving to ITV2.

THE Only Way Is Essex is returning to its original home in the autumn.

It’ll also revert to airing twice a week.

The Real Housewives of Cheshire is also being rehomed on ITV2.

However, other ITVBe staples like Dinner Date appear to have been quietly axed amid the changes.

As it stands, there is no new series currently commissioned, an insider recently told The Sun – but if it did return, it would be on ITV2/ITVX.

Repeats of Dinner Date do appear on ITV2 from next week.

The final show to appear on ITVBe is Backyard Builds, before ITV Quiz takes over at 6am.

More channel closures 'inevitable'

An industry expert told The Sun that more channel closures are likely in 2025 and beyond.

“This is inevitable, more broadcasters will cull broadcast/linear TV channels as viewers are flocking to streaming services,” Paolo Pescatore from PP Foresight said.

“The big TV switch off is around the corner, with all programming set to be delivered via the internet.

“Viewers are now spoilt for choice with how and where they watch the TV shows they love across a range of connected devices.

“To respond, broadcasters need to be prepared and work more closely with telecom providers to ensure a seamless experience for users.”

Cleaning expert reveals 80p Sainsbury’s buy to get BBQ sparkling for summer – plus common error that poses hygiene risk

A CLEANING expert has revealed a 80p hack to make sure your garden is sparkling all summer long.

Now that summer is finally upon us, and with temperatures set to ramp up again next week, many of us are likely making plans to have friends and family over for BBQs.

And although barbecuing is an easy way to make a delicious dinner, it can be tricky to get grills clean afterwards.

Dirty barbecues interfere with the quality of food, and don’t make a great impression when you have guests.

However, experts at HG have revealed some super cheap hacks to get them gleaming again.

Lemon Juice

The experts revealed that one budget friendly hack you can use to get your grill shining, is to use lemon juice.

“Tackle tough BBQ grime by spraying lemon juice and water on the grill”, they said.

Lemon juice is super cheap, and you can pick some up from Sainsbury’s for just 80p.

If your BBQ is extra greasy, the experts recommend using another budget staple too – an onion.

“For extra cleaning power, rub a hot grill with half a raw onion – the natural acids help lift off grease and food residue”, they said.

Aluminium Foil

Another budget-friendly hack the experts recommend is to use aluminium foil.

“Crumple a piece of aluminium foil into a ball and rub it over the grill to remove stubborn burnt-on bits,” the experts said.

“Follow with a quick brush to finish the job.”

Foil is another super cheap hack, and can be picked up from the supermarket for as little as £1.

Grass

If you’re looking for a hack that’s extra purse-friendly, using grass won’t cost you a penny.

“Place a cooled BBQ grill on the lawn overnight – the dew helps loosen debris for an easy wipe-down”, the experts explained.

Government advice on BBQ safety

The UK Government have issued some guidelines for staying safe whilst using a barbecue:

  • Keep a bucket of water, sand or a garden hose nearby for emergencies.
  • Follow the safety instructions provided with your gas, charcoal, or disposable barbecue.
  • Never use a barbecue indoors, in a tent, under an awning or in a caravan.
  • Use enough charcoal to cover the base of the barbecue, but not more (normally around 5cms or 2 inches).
  • Keep children, pets and garden games away from the cooking area.
  • After cooking, make sure the barbecue is cool before moving it.
  • Empty ashes onto bare garden soil, not into dustbins or wheelie bins. If they’re hot, they can melt the plastic and cause a fire.
  • Make sure your barbecue is well away from sheds, fences, trees, shrubs or garden waste.
  • In the countryside or public park areas, only use disposable barbecues where there are specially designated areas and carefully follow the safety guidance.
  • Enjoy yourself, but don’t drink too much alcohol if you are in charge of the barbecue.
  • Never use petrol or paraffin to start or revive your barbecue; use only recognised lighters or starter fuels on cold coals.

“No grass? Wrap it in a damp newspaper instead.

“Suitable for aluminium and stainless steel grills only.”

BBQ warning

However, the cleaning experts revealed that there’s one common cleaning hack that BBQ lovers should avoid.

They revealed that it is a common myth that turning on the grill and burning off residue makes the BBQ clean.

“There is a misconception that high heat creates a clean cooking environment, but the truth is that it doesn’t thoroughly clean your BBQ” they said.

“Lingering grime can seriously impact both flavour and hygiene.”

Rory McIlroy makes ‘three good shots’ but still racks up triple bogey at brutal Oakmont ahead of 2025 US Open

RORY McIlroy travelled to Oakmont Country Club last Monday to get a first look at the U.S. Open venue.

And the he famed but notoriously hard golf course in Pennsylvania has already lived up to its fearsome reputation.

According to Eamon Lynch of Golf Channel, McIlroy revealed that he made a triple bogey on the par-four second hole during his practice round – and that’s despite reportedly hitting what he described as “three good shots.”

The five-time major winner also needed a 3-wood to reach the 298-yard par-three eighth, eventually making bogey.

It marked the first time in years McIlroy had required so much club on a short hole.

Grand Slam winner McIlroy admitted that he’s struggling to find the right driver for his game after a shocking end to his week at the RBC Canadian Open.

The Holywood ace missed the midway cut after a horror 78 on his second round at TPC on Friday.

The 36-year-old found just 13 of 28 fairways in Toronto, and racked up a horror eight on the par-four fifth after spraying his tee shot.

The Northern Irishman has been battling to get to grips with a new 44-inch driver since his old one was deemed non-conforming on the eve of last month’s PGA Championship – where he limped home in 47th.

And that doesn’t bode well for the Down native ahead of the year’s third major on Thursday at Oakmont with the scoring predicted to be incredibly difficult.

Lynch also reported that Australia’s Adam Scott hit every fairway on the front nine, and shot 3-over for 9 holes.

In 2007 US Open, Ángel Cabrera emerged from a punishing week of carnage at Oakmont.

The Argentine carded a gutsy five-over-par total to win his first major.

While the last US Open played at the venue in 2016 saw Dustin Johnson card a final-round of 69, that was enough to finish at four-under and pull away from a chasing pack that included Shane Lowry.

So, expect fireworks this week as the US Open heads back to one of golf’s most unforgiving challenges.

Що потрібно додати у фарш для тефтелей, щоб вони не розвалювалися

Причини, через які тефтелі починають розвалюватися під час приготування, переважно полягають у фарші, а точніше, у його консистенції. Не підійде для цієї страви сухий або надмірно вологий фарш. Така ж доля чекає на тефтелі, які готуються з дуже жирного або знежиреного продукту. Подробиці Фарш великого помелу краще пропустити через м’ясорубку ще раз. Також потрібно врахувати […]

Вперше в історії астрономи відкрили унікальну планету, що обертається навколо полюсів двох зірок

Астрономи виявили одну з найхимерніших планетних систем — 2M1510, де, ймовірно, існує планета, що обертається навколо полюсів двох коричневих карликів у різко нахиленій площині, майже перпендикулярно їхній власній орбіті. Такий унікальний сценарій вдалося зафіксувати не через звичне затемнення світла, а за допомогою тонких коливань гравітації, які відстежили дослідники з використанням Дуже великого телескопа Європейської південної обсерваторії (ESO) у Чилі. Ця система складається з двох коричневих […]
