60 acast.com Tales from the Celebrity Trenches https://feeds.acast.com/public/shows/celebrity-trenches en Seriously Popular celebrity,showbiz,gossip Seriously Popular Celebrity is an insane construct. It just is. This is the podcast that revels in the fact, celebrating it's majesty and insanity in equal measure.


Whether it's the weekly breakdown of everything going on in pop culture or a chat with some of the biggest names in entertainment, this podcast truly has something for everyone... providing you’re obsessed with celebrity.


Back in ye Olde 2002, entertainment veteran Jamie East founded Holy Moly, one of the UK’s most popular (and notorious) entertainment and gossip sites. Known for its irreverent tone, it built a hugely loyal following in the days of the 'wild web'. East is still known and loved for his sharp, hilarious commentary on the world of showbiz. He has stories upon stories up his sleeve, and isn't afraid to spill them. 


Jamie’s back on the scene and chatting to friends old and new about the oftentimes baffling world of showbiz and entertainment, bringing his old knack for finding the funny in the seriously weird world of celebs. Expect never-heard-before insight into what being a culture shaping, gossip mongering, modern celebrity looks like. 


Joining Jamie will be two hilarious comics - the brilliant Alice Brine and ex Celebrity Coach Trip alumni Matt Richardson.


The world of entertainment might look pretty different to how it did when East started out. As everyone tries to cultivate the perfect reputation for themselves through social media, there's never been a better time to get behind the curtain and take a look at what's really going on.

What going to the BAFTAs is *really* like…! Wed, 13 May 2026 04:00:00 GMT 47:40 6a032b1392e9663a6ff57c28 true https://shows.acast.com/celebrity-trenches/episodes/6a032b1392e9663a6ff57c28 6a032b1392e9663a6ff57c28 69cbd3c503f0e158305c2010 full 1 2 Jamie East & comedian Alice Brine bring you their razor-sharp hot takes on the last seven days in showbiz in our new pod, ‘Celebrity Trenches: Weekly Dispatch’.


It’s a bumper week to unpack: Jamie went to the BAFTAs & has the BTS goss about what it’s *really like* to be there. It was long, he got hungry, but he DID see celebs behaving badly with their (packets of) nuts. Jamie spoke to a Celebrity Traitors legend Alan Carr, who revealed exactly why his surprise 50th birthday *really was* unexpected! You’ll love it when you know!


We applaud Mary Berry using her BAFTA’s speech to plug her new YouTube channel!


Alice & Jamie talk Strictly new presenters rumours. Jamie’s got a hot theory on who he thinks could get the gig!


Alice drops a bombshell about a Kiwi reality TV show that we’ve never had in the UK, but Jamie is now obsessed by! “Erica Stole Coxie’s Hole” will make sense once you’ve listened!


Alice is super excited that we'll soon see Nigella hosting Bakeoff - she's ready for it to be more sexy cos of Nigella.


We talk about Paul Hollywood getting done for speeding in his land rover cos his cat was ill. We also discuss the photos of PH in his biker leathers.


Alice also (not very politely) points out that Jamie does a “millennial pause” on his social videos. LOL!


It’s Eurovision this weekend so the guys lookahead to that. It’s fair to say it’s not Jamie’s jam, but among other things, he wonders why the UK doesn’t just send our best musicians?!


When did Table Football become "foossball"? Is it cos of 'Friends' / US TV?


Also, Jamie & Alice reply to listener's comments in 'Ask Us Anything' - which Jamie uses as an excuse to wheel-out his story about hanging out with Robbie Williams in the recording studio when he was recording 'Angels' back in the 90s.


All bases covered! It’s the Celebrity Trenches: Weekly Dispatch!

]]> Simon Cowell is in the Trenches Simon Cowell is in the Trenches Wed, 06 May 2026 10:30:00 GMT 49:16 69f9f1b479d314932a3db5bf false https://shows.acast.com/celebrity-trenches/episodes/69f9f1b479d314932a3db5bf 69f9f1b479d314932a3db5bf 69cbd3c503f0e158305c2010 full 1 1 Simon Cowell welcomes Jamie East into his home to launch 'Tales from the Celebrity Trenches'! It's his most honest, entertaining & revealing interview in years.


Expect all sorts - the inside scoop on what it was *really like* backstage at X-Factor. Including the time Jamie hung out in Simon’s dressing room & Simon couldn’t get YouTube to work on his new laptop - you HOWL when you hear the reason!


What was the deal behind *that* clip of Simon clapping? Does he have someone telling him when he goes viral?!


Simon addresses the rumours about how much he spent on his birthday party & what *exactly* did he tell his mum the suggestive stage set at his party was?!


He's super-honest about his reaction (& the celeb panel’s reaction on BGT) to Subo’s first audition. Does he feel bad about it now?


And what was his gut instinct when he was putting together One Direction? Did he always know they’d be *so* successful?


There’s more than meets the eye to the king of Saturday night TV.
