The Cult Of British Celebrity Boyfriends

The Rest Is Entertainment

Tuesday, 21 October 2025 - 56 minutes

Why do Americans keep dating British men? Is the UK music industry about to collapse? Who will be this year's Christmas bestseller?

Richard Osman and Marina Hyde take you on a 'spotter's guide' of the Great British Celebrity Boyfriend - the scarf wearing, dog walking and Lime biking heartthrob that has caught the attention of all the hottest Hollywood celebs. Yes, this is a thing. Yes we have a top ten.

Warner Music's radical company restructure has left its UK office as a simple satellite of their American HQ - what does this mean for the struggling British music industry?

Who will top the book charts come December 25th? And finally, Richard Osman consults his crystal ball to predict the biggest Christmas bestsellers this year.
