When the Azerbaijani contingent arrived, hurling fire around and doing handstands on horseback, there was a moment of actual excitement. But that’s the level of daredevilry it takes to entertain a television audience in 2022 and, short of literally firing horses out of cannons, it’s a hard one to sustain.

The Queen's Platinum Jubilee Celebration featured an unfortunate mishap as Martin Clunes was misidentified as another actor. As he appeared on screen to present midway through the night, the banner underneath the Doc Martin star read "Damian Lewis OBE." The 60 year old Doc Martin actor was presenting a section of the Gallop Through Time performance at the Windsor Arena when he was accidentally confused with Band of Brothers star Damian Lewis. Viewers were left "absolutely cringing" by the blunder, which was swiftly resolved.

Phillip Schofield, 60, and journalist and newsreader Julie Etchingham will host the theatrical area event which will be broadcast live on ITV from the grounds of Windsor Castle today. Speaking ahead of the celebration, the This Morning presenter described the Queen as a “figurehead for Great Britain”.He said: “The Queen is the figurehead for Great Britain, she’s our British symbol – anyone worldwide, when asked about Britain, will immediately think of The Queen, and of course tea.“The duty and loyalty the monarchy provides to the nation is remarkable.”The event will be made up of six acts, each act will be overseen by a different event host – Damian Lewis, Adjoa Andoh, Martin Clunes, Keala Settle, Tom Cruise and Alan Titchmarsh – and will look back through history from the reign of Queen Elizabeth I to the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II.Schofield, who previously hosted the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee with Etchingham, described the monarchy as “the epitome of British culture”, and revealed he is honoured to be a part of the historic Jubilee celebrations.“What a milestone – it’s an honour to be involved and to be asked back following the Diamond Jubilee,” he told The Evening Standard.He added: “Celebrating the 70-year reign of a British monarch has never happened before, so it feels incredible that we are involved in a key part of history that the British public will look back on for years to come.”Etchingham also shared her excitement ahead of the celebration, saying: “It’s a huge privilege to host these events – Phil and I have done two royal weddings and the Diamond Jubilee together.“They are enormous fun – a little ringside seat on history.”She added: “Her Majesty the Queen has been a constant presence on the national

I meant knees!" after Johannes and fellow guest Martin Clunes broke into uncontrollable laughter and co-host Ronan Keating began clasping his head in his hands.Grinning with embarrassment, Johannes gamely elaborated: "The dynamic was obviously different."I’m used to leading ladies and lifting them in the air [but] John had to be lifting me in the process," he replied."That was tricky, but the man’s patience, the way he allowed me to figure it out and still teach him in the process, I find that incredible.""I had the most amazing season and I fell in love with my artform again."Reliving how his relationship with dance began, Johannes modestly insisted that his success was a mere "fluke"."Everyone used to play soccer and rugby," he explained of his native town in South Africa."Dance is just a fluke because everyone can dance where I'm from."But when I came to Ballroom dancing, I just loved the sparkles."After seeing the dramatic costumes, Johannes knew he wanted to make an equally dazzling entrance - and realised he had the chance to achieve glamour through perfecting his craft.After hailing from a poor township, now that his "dream [has] come true", he has an ambition to teach a new generation of South
