Wimbledon Wiggle Dance Craze Loved by Maria Sharapova, Jonathan Ross Set For First Live Performance

Maria Sharapova’s done it. Jonathan Ross has done it. Even Ben Wishaw, Michelle Dockery, Mollie King, Gemma Chan have done it. They’ve all had a go at the Wimbledon Wiggle

For those unfamiliar with the move created by evian and We Are Social, it is based on the cheeky shake players make before receiving a serve and it has been causing a stir online and off-court. More than 45,000+ people have watched evian’s Wimbledon Wiggle video online, hundreds of wiggles have been uploaded to  evian’s Facebook page, and now visitors to Cardinal Place, Victoria can see the signature song performed live.  

The Wimbledon Wiggle song, created by electro-hip hop artist Tigermonkey, will be performed LIVE on the roof garden at Cardinal Place at 12.00pm on Thursday, July 4th. The performance comes ahead of a free live screening of the ladies semi-finals as part of evian and Land Securities’ annual Great British Summer campaign, which offers tennis fans, residents, office workers and tourists free screenings of the world famous Championships using specially customised retro caravans.

The British Comedy Awards: Who Will Be The King – Or Queen- of Comedy.

The British Comedy Awards sponsored by Foster’s return to Channel 4 live from 9pm on December 16 with Jonathan Ross back at the helm and ready for mischief.

Nominations will be revealed in full during a one hour Channel 4 nominations show on December 11 at 10pm, a few days before the main event is broadcast live on Channel 4 from Fountain Studios in Wembley.

Today however, we can exclusively reveal the six nominees for the prestigious People’s Choice Award for the King or Queen of Comedy – the only category where the viewers choose the winner.

Reigning Queen of Comedy Miranda Hart will be defending her crown against star of Peep Show and 10 O’clock Live presenter David Mitchell, chat show supremo and guru of all things Eurovision, Graham Norton, Fresh Meat star, Jack Whitehall, BAFTA-winning comedian, actress and author Jo Brand and stand-up sensation and panel show favourite Sarah Millican.

Lines open Monday 28 November and voting closes during the awards ceremony, shortly before the winner is revealed and we find out who is officially the funniest person in Britain.

Host Jonathan Ross said: “I’ve tried, but I can’t think of a more entertaining way to spend a winters evening then watching a room full of our best and brightest comedians get slowly drunk while they wait to see which of their rivals picks up an award. Surely that’s what Christmas is all about?

“To be hosting it again, for what feels like the 87th time, is also an honour and privilege and I will do my best, like the Batman facing a room full of Jokers, to keep things running smoothly”.

There are 17 categories in this year’s British Comedy Awards, including Best New British TV Comedy, Best Sitcom, Best Comedy Actor and Actress, Lifetime Achievement Award and Outstanding Contribution to British Comedy.

Previous winners include Russell Brand, Ricky Gervais, Alan Carr, Stephen Fry, Matt Lucas David Walliams. Sascha Baron Cohen and Peter Kay.

The event also attracts a star studded audience with recent guests including Goldie Hawn, Alec Baldwin, Madonna, Samuel L Jackson, Eva Mendes, Jack Black, Juliette Lewis, Matt Groening and JK Rowling.

Jonathan Ross has fun at 50.

What do Jeremy Clarkson, Gary Lineker, Jonathan Ross and the Play-Doh Fun Factory Playset all have in common? They’re all celebrating turning 50 this year… and as seen on one of Jonathan’s last shows, a series of fun Play-Doh modelling compound models have been created to mark the occasion.

The iconic Play-Doh brand commissioned Hollywood sculptor Stephen Hicklin to create a visual masterpiece, four 3D sculptures of iconic British celebrities that are also celebrating their 50th birthday this year, Bono, Jeremy Clarkson, Gary Lineker, and Jonathan Ross.

‘We wanted to celebrate with something fun and instantly recognisable, just like the 50th Birthday Play-Doh Fun Factory playset. The celebrity creations do just that!’ said Charlotte Higgins Play-Doh Brand Manager.

Having stood the test of time, today’s kids love playing with this classic toy, using some of its brand new elements, including an extended handle for extruding Play-Doh modelling compound and a spinning dial with eight great shapes, including a triangle, bat and flower – feed in the Play-Doh modelling compound and let imaginations take over!

The 50th Birthday Fun Factory Spin ‘n Store playset comes complete with plastic cutting tool, factory presser and two 2oz (85g) cans of Play-Doh compound, and is available nationwide priced at £7.99 RRP (suitable for children ages 3 plus).
