HE’S made no secret of being a petrolhead since he started acting – and now Guz Khan is about to hop into the driver’s seat as the host of a new car show.
The series, which began filming earlier this month, will see the comedian joined by guests with flash customised and modified motors in a look at the weirdest and wackiest cars across the UK.

An insider told me: “Every type of motor, past, present, and future will make its appearance in this exciting new format, with Guz guiding audiences through a rabbit hole of truly fascinating cars.
“Guz has been attempting to modify his own car so to help inspire him, he will embark on a journey to discover cars as unconventional as their owners.
Casting teams for the series worked around the clock to source contributors for the series, who were willing to have their wheels displayed in front of the nation.
“Expect to see the unexpected when it comes to these modified motors — this isn’t your regular car series.
“He will test drive their creations and learn more about what modifications can do for cars, as he makes his own journey from ‘car purist’ to ‘car modder’.
“And of course it won’t be without elements of comedy, it’s only natural with Guz in the hosting seat.”
It’s a new string to Guz’s bow after his hit BBC sitcom Man Like Mobeen came to an end earlier this year after five series.
While it will be the first time Guz has hosted a car show, he has previously starred alongside Tinie Tempah in Channel 4’s Bangers: Mad For Cars, as well as appearing in Top Gear Magazine.
I’ve Bean killed again
HE’S died 25 times so far during his career, including being bombed and pushed off a cliff, drowned and shot, stabbed, beheaded, crushed and impaled – and now Sean Bean is set to kick the bucket once again.
The veteran actor, who has become notorious for his characters being bumped off, faces his most grisly death yet, being dismembered by Orlando Bloom.

Luckily for Sean, who has died in every blockbuster franchise he’s previously appeared in, including Game Of Thrones, James Bond and Lord Of The Rings, he’s not worried.
He recently told the Radio Times: “It came to a point with all the memes, and I thought, ‘Maybe I should stop dying as much.’
“It doesn’t bother me any more. And, you know, I’m not really dead.”
Fearne: I’ve Cot no clue
SHE rubbed shoulders with the Spice Girls and Paris Hilton over her two decades on telly – but that doesn’t mean Fearne Cotton recalls all her career highs.
The former Top Of The Pops presenter, who starred in ITV quiz show Celebrity Juice and documentary series Fearne And… admits she often needs a nudge as to who she’s already met.
Fearne Cotton admits she often needs a nudge as to who she’s already metGettyFearne told the Dish podcast: “The opportunities I got, and the situations you would end up in – like, Victoria Beckham in Harrods, we went Christmas shopping.
“I made this series where I’d follow people around. I ended up in Paris Hilton’s house, spinning on her stripper pole.
“I have to sometimes Google if I’ve met someone, and it could be a big celebrity, like Kylie Minogue’.”
Is Matt to make the cut?
AFTER losing more than SIX stones in weight and dropping from a size XXL to a medium, Matt Lucas is planning to go under the knife.
The Little Britain comic, who began his diet in 2021 after ballooning during the Covid-19 pandemic, was left with excess skin after the dramatic weight loss, and has been gearing up for cosmetic surgery to remove it.

“One weird thing since I’ve lost the weight, is I’ve gone down a shoe size. They’re less fat now, that’s for sure.
“But when I look down I still see a really juicy belly, and I don’t feel that I’ve lost the weight.
“I do have loose skin, so maybe I’ll have something done surgically just to make it a bit more presentable.
“I fluctuate [in weight], so I don’t feel like I’ve reached the end of that journey.”
