Clare Balding and Rose Ayling-Ellis hailed as ‘unreal’
Rose Ayling-Ellis and Clare Balding‘s debut at the 2024 Paralympics has been praised as both touching and groundbreaking by viewers.
The collaboration, that started yesterday (August 29), marks a significant moment in television history.
Strictly champion Rose took her place in history as the first deaf presenter to work live on the Paralympic Games.

The partnership between Clare and Rose was not just a professional success. It was also a display of inclusivity and empathy.
Clare was shown adapting her presenting style to cater to Rose’s needs. This included facing her so she could lip-read.
Viewers praised the sports presenter for her sensitivity and respectfulness.
“Clare Balding once again proving she is the perfect presenter in any situation. Facing Rose so she can also lip-read. Perfect presenting team,” one viewer gushed on social media.
As Rose introduced herself, she explained the unique arrangement that assisted her participation.
“I am too deaf for an earpiece, so I have the lovely Kirsty over there, who is going to be my earpiece lady,” she explained.
Earlier today, Rose shared that she has two signers helping her behind the scenes at the 2024 Paralympics. This is because the live TV job can get exhausting, so one might not manage to get all the information to Rose that she needs.
Fans react
Viewers were moved by the chemistry and dynamic between Clare and Rose, with many taking to social media to express their admiration.
“Why has this made me cry?” one fan queried.
“Loved watching Rose presenting the Paralympics. Clare is the perfect presenter as well,” another gushed.
“With Clare by her side she is in safe hands and will enjoy the experience,” a third viewer commented.
A fourth agreed: “She is the consummate professional. Marvellous. Left me a bit weepy!”
“Rose is one of those people in life who is just very very good at whatever they turn their hand to. In this case presenting a global sports competition on a national TV channel,” said another, adding the eyes filling with tears emoji.
This partnership represented a step forward in normalising and celebrating diversity within mainstream media.
“Unreal. Well done Channel 4, good coverage,” one viewer cheered.
“This is fantastic!!” another agreed. “Inclusion at its finest – love it!”

Kelly Brook on recurring row she has with husband Jeremy weekly
Star of Celebrity Race Across The World Kelly Brook previously revealed the row she and her husband have every week.
The British TV star formed a relationship with her model husband Jeremy Parisi in 2015. In July 2022, the pair tied the knot with a ceremony in Italy.
Kelly Brook and husband Jeremy argue about the same thing
However, while talking to The Guardian last summer, Kelly opened up about the “Sunday arguments” she and Jeremy have.
“Jeremy is an energy saver, so he’ll always put the 15-minute wash on,” Kelly revealed. “I argue that’s not long enough to wash anything and examine every T-shirt for the remnants of a stain. We have that debate at least once a week.”
Kelly shared that the rest of her Sundays usually consist of driving down to Kent to visit family and eat dinner with her mum, brother, sister, nieces and nephews.
Due to Jeremy’s family living in Paris, they occasionally try to visit on the train when they can.
“Sundays are spent pottering, doing housey things, having barbecues, blowing up inflatables for the pool,” Kelly continued.
Kelly didn’t realise how ‘competitive’ Jeremy was
Before taking part in Celebrity Race Across The World with her husband Jeremy, Kelly admitted to Closer that she was unaware how seriously her man would take the race.
“I didn’t realise how competitive he was, like, crazy competitive. I’m much more about the experience. I think I got on his nerves because he was full steam ahead,” she said.
“If Jeremy was doing the race alone, he’d have finished it in a week. I was kind of slowing him down a little bit and I was like, let’s have a Brazilian barbecue one day or let’s go to the beach.”
Celebrity Race Across the World is on Wednesdays at 9pm on BBC One. It’s repeated Sunday afternoons on BBC Two.

Celebrity Race Across The World star Kelly Brook on ‘wake-up call’ after punching two of her exes
Celebrity Race Across The World star Kelly Brook previously opened up about hitting her ex-boyfriends, admitting it’s “something she needs to work on”.
The TV star, 44, has had a slew of relationships over the years. From Hollywood heartthrobs to sports stars, Kelly’s love life has not always been a walk in the park.
Kelly has since found love with husband Jeremy Parisi – with the pair back on screen today (September 15) for Celebrity Race Across the World.
However, in 2014, Kelly made headlines when she confessed to assaulting two of her ex-partners.
Race Across The World star Kelly Brook admits assaulting boyfriends
In 2014, Kelly released her autobiography, Kelly Brook: Close Up. In the bombshell book, Kelly revealed that she had punched two of her former partners, Jason Statham and Danny Cipriani, in separate incidents.
According to Kelly, she punched Jason Statham at Madonna’s wedding to Guy Ritchie in 2000, for reportedly flirting with Gwyneth Paltrow.
And the model also admitted she assaulted Strictly star Danny Cipriani after she allegedly caught him cheating.
Kelly Brook admitted she’s ‘not an angel’
Kelly spoke about punching her exes while speaking on ITV’s This Morning in 2014. Despite the severity of her actions, the actress claimed it was down to her “fiery” personality.
“It’s true, I did both of these things,” she said. “I’m not saying I’m an angel or that the things I’ve done are right, I’m not saying that’s the right thing to do at all. But I guess I get some of that fiery passion from my parents.”
She added: “I’m not going to make a habit of doing that in the future. I’m just going to pick more wisely with the men I be with.”
‘It’s a wake-up call’
While in her 2014 autobiography, Kelly discussed her previous assaults, admitting it was “something she needs to work on”.
“I think if you come from a background where you’re disrespected that’s how you retaliate, it’s natural,” she shared, as MailOnline reports.
“It’s obviously something I need to work on because I don’t want to go around punching people.”
Kelly added: “I have a real tolerance threshold, but sometimes these boys just push your buttons and it’s a wake-up call: ‘This cannot continue.’”
Watch Kelly on Celebrity Race Across The World on Sunday (September 15) at 5:30pm on BBC Two.

Michael Douglas on ‘bump’ that caused Catherine Zeta-Jones split
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas are a beloved Hollywood couple – but the pair once shocked the world by splitting for a brief while.
Welsh star Catherine and actor Michael first met back in 1998 and quickly hit it off. Fast forward to now, and the couple are still loved-up and proud parents to son Dylan, 24, and daughter Carys, 21.
However, like most couples, their romance previously hit a bump in the road, with the pair briefly splitting. Something Michael later said was a “difficult time”.
Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas
Catherine – who is starring in the movie Dad’s Army today (September 15) – and Michael tied the knot in November 2000 during a stunning ceremony at the New York Plaza Hotel.
And after almost 24 years of marriage and 26 years as a couple, the Hollywood pair are still together. But between 2013 and 2014, the couple split for a little while.
In August 2013, Catherine and Michael announced they were taking a break from being together. In a statement, they said they wanted some time to “evaluate and work on their marriage”.
Michael and Catherine split in 2013
However, in September, Michael shared an update with People about his relationship status. He said: “We’re working things out, talking and we’ll see how she goes.”
And by the end of April 2014, Catherine and Michael had seemingly gotten back together, with the pair attending several events together.
A year after they reconciled, Michael opened up about the couple’s split during an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.
“It can’t be a one-way street. But I’m crazy about her. And yeah, I think every couple has their difficult times,” he said at the time.
“The only problem is, as you well know, we’re all in the public eye, and it tends to get a little more exposed than most,” Michael added. He then declared: “We’re back stronger than ever.”
Michael on why he and Catherine Zeta-Jones split
Michael also addressed his and Catherine’s split, talking to Event magazine in 2015. He admitted: “We had a little bump in the road.”
Michael went on: “The problem in this business is that everything is so public.
“I love Catherine as much, more than I ever have. And hopefully the feeling’s mutual. We worked things out – if both people want to work something out and make it better, you can do it,” he said. “You can’t do it if it’s just one person.”
Watch Catherine on Dad’s Army on Sunday (September 15) at 4:30pm on ITV1.
