They explained: “Everybody knows Love Island can be a big machine for making money and becoming famous.

Tom Hanks openly praised the BBC on The One Show this evening, claiming that you “don’t get that” on American TV.The Hollywood star made the observation after watching a clip of Chris Packham presenting Springwatch ahead of the programme's return tonight on BBC Two. Tom, 65, appeared on the BBC One show today with his co-star Austin Butler, 30, ahead of their upcoming Elvis Presley biopic, which is entitled Elvis.Speaking to Emma Willis, 46, and Jermaine Jenas, 39, Tom expressed his admiration for the BBC.During their interview, the presenters introduced Chris and his Springwatch co-host Michaela Strachan, 56, as they joined them remotely from a Norfolk field. Chris’ stepdaughter Megan McCubbin, 27, also made a brief cameo as she was shown getting up close to some tawny owls in the North East of England. After the presenters had given a preview of this year’s Springwatch, Tom had some thoughts on the show.As Emma started moving on the conversation with the two actors on the sofa, Tom couldn’t help but interrupt her. “Now, I know you’re both very busy…” Emma began. “Can we just say how great the BBC is,” Tom interjected, causing the presenters to laugh at the unexpected interruption.Speaking about Springwatch’s award-winning live coverage of animals in the British country, Tom explained how UK TV differs from shows in the USA.“Now, you’re not going to get that live every night in the United States,” Tom mused.“That is just something else,” he said with a smile, as Emma agreed, “You’re really not are you?”Tom’s praise for the broadcaster comes after calls to “defund the BBC” have succeeded, after the government promised to abolish the licence fee by 2027. The BBC will also be forced to make deep cuts to its show budgets,

Megan McCubbin, 27, is the wildlife-loving step-daughter of nature expert Chris Packham, 61.The star has opened up about what it was like growing up in the spotlight, despite the term “famous” making Chris “squirm”, in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.Megan, who has recently teamed up with Lovat Parks, spoke about the wondrous benefits of “connecting to our wild side” this summer, as she had a fantastic experience growing up around wild animals thanks to famed wildlife expert Chris. Asked whether growing up around such a high-profile figure prepared her for show business, which seems worlds away from her outdoor pursuits, she confirmed that it had. “Yeah, I'm quite used to it,” she reflected. "I mean, if you called him [Chris] famous to his face he’d probably squirm a little bit. “But I suppose so; I’m used to people coming up to him and saying hello and being very friendly.“For me, it’s lovely - I’m just so grateful that everyone's been so welcoming to me on something like Springwatch, which people love so much.“I'm grateful that people are incredibly supportive, and they've given me that kind of opportunity.”Springwatch viewers have previously expressed their delight at seeing Chris and Megan’s effortless chemistry on screen thanks to their close relationship. Speaking about their rapport on the show, Megan said: “We have a great relationship with one another and we have a lot of fun.“I think we learn from each other in different ways.

“But wouldn’t it be good if they said: ‘Right, what we want you to do is go and work in an RSPCA rehabilitation centre and you’ve got to do 30 days’ work there.“Then we could make a film about that.’“I would like to see him now play a prominent role in animal welfare - he could turn it around.“That’s what he should do. He should say: ‘I am a genuinely reformed character.

Megan McCubbin, who is the nature-loving step-daughter of Chris Packham, spoke candidly about her love of animals and the need to protect our wildlife in an exclusive interview with Express.co.uk.The Springwatch presenter revealed that, while she had a tough time at school due to her dyslexia, it was a streak of tigers that saved her from giving up her goal of working with animals. Megan, who has recently teamed up with Lovat Parks, spoke about the wonders of wildlife and why it can really benefit us all to connect with our “wild side”. The documentarian knows a thing or two about that, as she has grown up with a myriad of diverse creatures all around her. Her most unusual animal friends, however, are the four tigers that managed to persuade her not to give up on her dreams of studying zoology. Confirming that she had “no fear” when it came to the wild animals, Megan opened up about the difficult time she had at school.Megan explained: “I’m quite severely dyslexic, and I've always struggled learning science in the conventional way. “So much that - when I was at school - I had some difficult experiences there and teachers didn't really understand what to do with me.“I didn’t necessarily appear to be the brightest, but that wasn't actually the case; it was just the fact that I learned differently from everyone else. “Over time, I've kind of had to challenge myself to overcome - not overcome because you can’t overcome dyslexia - but you learn to work with it and use it to your advantage.”Megan desperately wanted to work with animals, but felt like her performance in science classes indicated she might not be cut out for the Bsc in Zoology she would one day go on to obtain.“It got to a point where I was questioning myself on
