Will Harris is not impressed with X Factor USA

X Factor USA. Can we talk?Just when you thought TV talent shows couldn’t get any more hyped, Simon Cowell has taken his winning X Factor formula and launched it stateside, where – in a move perfectly befitting the US – it has been supersized. Have you seen it yet? Everything about the show is bigger than our version, from the contestants’ voices, to the calibre of the judges (L.A. Reid, the former Def Jam CEO who gave the world Rihanna, occupies the same position on the panel as Louis Walsh, the former leprechaun who gave the world Jedward, does on ours), to the prize on offer at the end.

Will Harris gets himself in a tizz over baking

“See you? You need to have a word with yourself.” C, my Glaswegian colleague, has never been one to mince her words. She rolls her eyes at me and takes a swig of her bitter lemon. “It’s not my fault,” I splutter, attempting to drag on my coat with one hand while simultaneously draining half a pint of cider. “I would stay longer, but this is a genuine emergency.” Read the rest of this article »

Will Harris is a very good friend

My friend H is going on a date. This is now so infrequent an occurrence that, when she slips it into conversation during one of our regular phone-marathons, I can’t help but react as if I’m witnessing my child take its first tottering steps off the furniture. “OMG!” I say. “This is amazing news. Tell me everything!” Read the rest of this article »

I have, you may have realised by now, a particular talent for getting myself trapped in things: bathrooms, black cabs, dysfunctional relationships.

Latest TV

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk

We have 11 special programmes, featuring artists in their own houses. So here’s your chance to go ‘through the keyhole’ so to speak as we visit the artists in their own environment.
