EDDIE THE EAGLE made a sensational North Korea claim long before his appearance on Countryfile as he joked "we've probably got about 50 nuclear warheads pointing at us".
On Demand Ambitions (StarzPlay, from Sun) The bad news is that despite its promising premise, this drama series was axed after just one season of 18 episodes. The good news is that they re all about to be made available to stream. Atlanta, Georgia, is said to be currently America s hottest urban centre, and it provides a steamy backdrop for the deceitful machinations of love, power and politics surrounding two of the city s most formidable legal eagles - Stephanie Carlisle Lancaster and Amara Hughes. The two women started out as best friends at college, but have since become deadly rivals. Also at the centre of the story are two powerful families with a lot to lose. Throw into the mix infidelity, blackmail, racism, gentrification and drug addiction, and you have the makings of a classic. Robin Givens and Essence Atkins head the cast.
But it also came the same month that South Korea was preparing to host the 2018 Winter Olympics – which, at the time, provoked much speculation about North Korea’s attendance, amid tensions with the West.
Leader Kim Jong-un had repeatedly sparked friction between world leaders and made several nuclear threats – including one stating he had a launch button “always on [his] table”.
Speaking to Daily Star Online as the Games loomed, Eddie stated: “As an athlete, these political issues wouldn’t even cross my mind.”
He went on to point out that he lives in Cheltenham, joking that “we’ve probably got about 50 nuclear warheads pointing at us because of GCHQ, but I’m not worried about it”.
