The Late Late Show host James Corden, 38, and his wife Julia Carey are expecting baby number three.

Hot on the heels of Gavin and Stacey, two of the sitcom's stars (the male ones, obviously) were given their own sketch show. Much like the recent election, it started off as a safe bet - riding the wave of Gavin and Stacey's astounding popularity - before ending up such a spectacular failure nobody could remember why it ever seemed a good idea in the first place.

Preview - A League of Their Own: US Road Trip 2.0

The stars of the Sky1 sports-based panel show return to America for a second road trip, from Los Angeles to New York.

The banter Santas of Sky1 venture across the Atlantic once again for more road-tripping, shoulder-punching, sport-based hilarity. Tonight, Jamie Redknapp injures himself in a hotdog-eating contest and the quartet train with the Californian State Lifeguards. At worst, it's always an interesting study in male group dynamics, but will regular whipping boy James Corden lord it over his old pals now he's officially a big cheese in the States?
