What skills do I need?
If you think you’re perfect for the role, but are worried about a lack of writing experience, you don’t need to worry to much as the job description states that the role is “best suited” to somebody with insider knowledge of what fans want to know and read about, and that qualifications and previous editorial experience are not required.

“Applicants must be over the age 18, and have great written English skills,” it adds.
Strong writing, digital literacy and investigative skills are a bonus, as well as social media talents, and additionally, candidates are required to have a strong enough internet connection to upload their work, and to binge watch the show live.

Though the current series of Love Island is expected to come to a close on Monday 23 August, the company says “there could be opportunities for the right candidate to create content about future seasons of the show and other similar reality TV series.”

Mancs wanted to take part in a new series of the ‘hardest quiz show on TV’
Emily Sergeant
Call yourself a clever clogs? The BBC is currently looking for contestants to take part in what is widely considered the hardest quiz show on TV.
That’s right – Only Connect is back for another series on BBC Two.
Presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell and first broadcast all the way back in 2008, Only Connect takes TV quizzing to the next level, as it sees two teams compete against each other by finding connections between seemingly unrelated clues.
In this quiz show – which viewers have dubbed one of the most challenging there is – knowledge only takes you so far, as the ability to think laterally is also deemed ‘vitally important’.
A casting call for the upcoming 2027 series has been shared on the BBC website, with people from Greater Manchester encouraged to apply.

The casting call reads: “The popular BBC Two quiz show presented by Victoria Coren Mitchell returns for a new series in 2027.
“Only Connect is seeking teams of three players OR single applicants or teams of two looking for like-minded teammates to pool their combined wits to solve fiendish conundrums and vexing puzzles.
“This is the quiz series where, as in life itself, knowledge will only take you so far: patience and lateral thinking are also vital. It’s all about making connections between things which may appear, at first glance, not to be connected at all.”
Reckon you’ve got what it takes then? Applications are now open, and all applicants must be aged 18 or over and a resident in the UK or Channel Islands.
