Who are Ant and Dec pranking?

Jeremy Clarkson is the unsuspecting star of Undercover this week.

The episode will see 'protesters' arrive at Jeremy's farm, which features on the Amazon series Clarkson's Farm, demanding rights for soil.

It comes after camera crews were spotted at the farm last year when graffiti appeared on Clarkson's Diddly Squat farm shop.

The vandalism, which saw the word "soil" spray-painted onto the side of the shop, was credited to Ant and Dec.

Jeremy appeared to confirm the rumours that it was the presenting duo posting to Twitter at the time: "All b***ocks. It was Ant and Lard c**king about." You can read more on this here.

Who is performing at the End of Show Show?

In a world exclusive first, all three winners of Drag Race UK will perform together for the first time on television in a spectacular End of the Show Show.

Appearing on stage will be The Vivienne, Lawrence Chaney and Krystal Versace.
