Well, well, well. Channel 4 has announced that it has booked none other than Donald Trump-nemesis Stormy Daniels as a guest on its US election night show. The adult film actor at the centre of Trump’s hush-money scandal will commentate on the events of the evening live from Washington – after spending much of the year recounting some rather lurid details about her previous run-ins with the ex-president, all of which Trump has denied. Fetch the popcorn..

Alongside the woman who alleges the former US president slept with her before paying out a six-figure sum for her silence, Channel 4 producers have lined up some more curious choices for the coverage. Daniels will be joined by former prime minister-turned-autobiographer Boris Johnson, who will be flying into Washington fresh from his book-promoting tour across the UK’s airwaves. Succession star Brian Cox will feature on the show, while Caitlyn Jenner of Kardashian fame has also been locked in.
