55 m. ago Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters: I’m absolutely hooked by this cheeky, danger

Lenny Henry, Rachel Riley and a tank full of primeval nightmare fuel: everyone’s a winnerI am obsessed with sharks. Fifty years on from Jaws, and for me no film can touch it. I trawl YouTube for unspeakable footage. On a recent holiday to France, I made my nonplussed household watch every shark documentary on National Geographic. I’ll even make time for guff like Jaws 4 or Sharknado 5: Global Swarming. I’m metaphorically chumming the water at every opportunity. Every so often, something shows up.Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters (ITV1, Wednesday 16 July, 9pm) sees seven public figures with a fear of sharks mercilessly pushed into the water to swim with some. Say no more – I’m hooked.

1 hour ago Empire of the Elite by Michael B. Grynbaum: A history of Condé Nast that misses the big story

Having edited British GQ for 22 years, when I left in 2021, as the operation became centralised in New York, my agent at Curtis Brown told me to write a memoir about my time there. Having zero interest in doing so, I said I would rather concentrate on other things (principally, an extremely long holiday with my family). But as he is a very good agent, he pestered me until I said yes, which turned out to be an extremely fortuitous decision.
