JACK WHITEHALL has messed up any chance of getting a knighthood after
upsetting another member of the Royal Family.
The telly star has been snubbed by PRINCESS EUGENIE after a series of
explicit texts were sent from his phone.
It comes just months after PRINCE HARRY refused to shake Jack’s hand at
last year’s Royal Variety Performance after the comic dubbed the Prince the
“King of Banter”.
While the texts were sent from Jack’s phone, the culprit was his Sky 1 panel
show A League of Their Own co-star, football pundit JAMIE REDKNAPP.
He got hold of the comedian’s phone while filming a US road trip special for
the new series and sent some immature texts to the Princess about Jack’s
privates, one of which read: “I have a really small winky”.
But Eugenie, who is eighth in line to the throne, didn’t take the messages
very well and instead blanked the telly star.

Jack said: “She’s ignored me since getting that text. To be fair that was not
unprovoked.”
Revealing he had it coming, Jack added: “I stole Jamie’s phone and sent a
message to the former-Portsmouth manager AVRAM GRANT asking if he
wanted to go and see Jersey Boys.
“And DWIGHT YORKE got one saying, ‘Dwight, they’re making a new
Bridget Jones film, how cool is that?!’.”
It’s fair to say Jack doesn’t have an impressive track record with the Royal
Family.
He also shocked TV viewers when he made a vile sex gag about the Queen on C4’s
Big Fat Quiz of the Year in 2012.
The comic’s cheeky texts aren’t the only time he gets mischievous in the new
Sky 1 series.
In one episode, he wrestles naked with FREDDIE FLINTOFF and Jamie in a
mud bath before they hop in a shower together.
When asked about the “homoerotic” scenes, Jack said: “I really appreciate the
boys getting on board with the spirit of it all.
“There were a couple of moments when I had to educate them on the laws of the
dormitory. We learnt a lot about each other.”
That’s quite enough information, Jack . . .
Amazing climax? it Sher is
SHERLOCK series four has begun filming with producers STEVEN MOFFAT and MARK
GATISS, promising that the new three-part series will reach a dramatic
finale.
In a statement yesterday, they said: “This is the story we’ve been telling
from the beginning. A story about to reach its climax.”
It will be the first time the show will feature a female director – former
Doctor Who whizz Rachel Talalay.
The show’s star, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH, told fans to be patient
for the new series after being tied up with new movie Doctor Strange. I’m
sure it’ll be worth the wait.
ITV chief’s Ry sense of humour
CORONATION STREET scriptwriters clearly have a wicked sense of humour.
The ITV soap’s bosses have given RYAN THOMAS’ character a big
money windfall – just three years after his own real life troubles with the
tax man.
The actor was declared bankrupt over an unpaid tax bill of £40,000 in 2013,
despite earning a hefty £90,000 a year in his role as builder Jason
Grimshaw.
But his financial fortunes in Weatherfield are much rosier, as I’m told Jason
is set to find out he was left £80,000 by his dad Tony Stewart whose
funeral scenes he filmed last week.
A source said: “They’re having a laugh at Ryan’s expense but it’s all
good-natured. He takes it in his stride, but seeing as he’s leaving anyway
they’re not holding any punches. The writers have had a right laugh with
Jason’s character.
“This windfall is part of a series of storylines that will lead to his exit on
the show later this year. It’s going to be explosive.”
Ryan managed to pay off his tax bill late last year after securing a series of
£2,000-a-pop nightclub appearances.
He is now ditching Corrie for the bright lights of Hollywood with aspirations
to make it as a film star.
More nightclubs beckon, I reckon.
