Bank Holiday

Monday, August 30, 2010

Hey guys,
Well filming for the new series of TMi has well and truly begun. Last week Mark and I filmed the new title sequence and this week we’re
filming an interview with Emily Osment who plays Hannah Montana’s
best friend. She’s releasing a single. We’re filming in a hair salon so it should be great fun.
Also on Friday we shall be back at ITV1 on This Morning with our “Must See’s”.
Thanks to everyone that has sponsored Mark for the Great North Run….not long now!
Have a lovely bank holiday Monday and a great week.
Love Sam x

Running!

Tuesday, August 24, 2010

Hey guys,
Hope your week has been good!! Oh before I forget a massive good luck and congratulations to everyone who got their GCSE results this week, I know I was petrified when I got mine so I feel your pain! 
Sam and I have been busy doing This Morning, our radio show and putting the finishing touches to the new TMi titles…it was done on green screen so quite frankly it could turn out to be anything!! Have been doing a hell of a lot of training for The Great North Run recently and have got up to doing 10 miles..I would get sweaty doing 10 miles in a car before so I’m pretty pleased and it’s for a great cause “Christian Aid” so worth the blisters!! Thanks to everyone that has sponsored me and if anyone else would like to it would be incredibly appreciated just go to my justgiving page…thanks!
Anyway got to go I’m off running again…..only joking I’m having a burger!

OK! Shoot

Monday, August 16, 2010

Hello lovely people.
Well this week we’re on This Morning Monday and Wednesday. Also on Wednesday after the show we’re off to do a photo shoot for OK! Magazine with the lovely Alison Hammond. It will be very similar to the last OK! Shoot we did so we’re looking forward to that.  Also this week I am moving into a new flat which is exciting. I’m sure there will be some stories to tell about it on our radio show next Sunday.
Have a lovely week.

Expendables!

Monday, August 09, 2010

Hey dudes…does dudes work? I’m gonna go with it anyway!
I hope everyone’s week has gone swimmingly? As I write this Sam and I have just finished a cocktail gadget item on “This Morning” which is probably my favourite thing we have done on the show to date…..it was a right laugh and I’m gonna grass Sam up because he nicked one of the special bottle openers we were supposed to review…I’m only saying that because I didn’t think of it first!! Gutted! We’re back on ‘This Morning’ on Friday so can’t wait for that.
Anyway I’m in a really good mood today because later we’re going to the Expendables premiere…now I know what you’re thinking “god these guys are always off to swanky premieres”! and you are right haha. No, no I digress! The only premieres we go to are for the films that look awesome and this one does…loads!! I hope I see Bruce willis it would complete my life, what a legend!! Also thought I would let you know that my training for the Great North Run is going well. I’m running for Christian Aid which is a great cause and if you would like to sponsor me it would make me a very happy man, all the info will be here on the website.
Anyway looking forward to speaking to you again soon.
Take care!

Best Man Duties

Tuesday, August 03, 2010

Hey guys, happy August.
Mark and I apologise for not being on air with our radio show on Sunday but we were both in Bristol on a stag do. My best friend Dale, who I’ve known for 18 years is getting married on Friday and I am the best man, so I had to give him a good send off, and a good send off it was, we had such a laugh. The picture above is of me, Dale and our mate Eddie with our bronze medals at a karting track we went to, that’s right we got on the podium (I always come third) I’m afraid Mark and the rest of the lads in their team came 6th.
As for this week Mark and I had more fun on This Morning talking about places the family can go over the summer holidays.
Heard from the lovely Copycats team earlier in the week who are in Glasgow editing the 52 episodes we filmed and apparently it’s looking great.
Well that’s all from me, I’m off back home to Barnsley to get ready for the wedding. Wish me luck for my best man speech.
Have a lovely week

The A Team

Monday, July 26, 2010

Hey guys,
Hope you have all had a good week. Sam and I have just completed the third and fourth series of Copycats which we are very proud of and you guys can see it in the autumn along with TMi which
starts early September.  This week we are doing something for Comic Relief which is all hush hush but it’s pretty exciting.  We’re off to the A Team premiere on Tuesday night so looking forward to that. We are also back on This Morning on Wednesday this week so even if you wanted to you can’t get rid of our ugly mugs!! Anyway, have a cracking week and speak to you soon,

Final Copycats

Tuesday, July 20, 2010

Well this week is the final time we fly to Glasgow to finish Copycats and we can’t wait for you to see the new series. If you’re a fan of Copycats we think you’ll be very pleased with the changes that have been made.
We had a great time on This Morning last Friday and obviously I loved beating Gino in the sack race and winning for ‘Holly‘s Hoppers‘.  After the show we did some interviews for a few magazines so we’ll let you know here on the website when you can read those. We then went straight to a photo shoot for TMi so was a busy day!
This week was the start of our stint on the This Morning summer shows. We had such a good time in Brighton on Monday and look forward to the rest of the series, we’ll be back on This Morning next Wednesday.
Much love
Sam xx

Busy Boys!

Monday, July 12, 2010

Hi ya guys, hope you’re all well? It’s been a rather mad, fun and sunny
week though not necessarily in that order! We did another 8 shows of Copycats…yes 8!! Yeah we are hardcore!

We came home for a nano second and then we were off to Great Yarmouth which was for a This Morning competition and it was awesome, a proper old school seaside town and it was hotter than the sun…quite literally! My nose went so red it nearly fell off…only joking but it was red!!

We had a great time today back on This Morning testing the camping equipment….I don’t think Sam and I will be going camping anytime soon haha

We’re off to Glasgow now for more Copycats and then on Friday we’ll be back on This Morning…..busy busy busy but hey we wouldn’t want it any other way!!

See ya laters people!!
