Our video editor Lisa Trainer is putting together PeopleWorld's Hot or Not list while editor Marina Licht is enjoying some festive time off.

Our first hot for today is Sir David Attenborough. The naturalist has been broadcasting for most of his 96 years and has now narrated a documentary on macaque monkeys. The show will be on BBC 1 at 7.30pm tonight and looks at macaques who live in the Atlas Mountains. We're delighted that David's voice is back for this Dynasties special.

David has become a figure in the UK and across the world for urging more action to help tackle climate change. He spoke at COP21 in Glasgow in 2021 and he's inspired many to appreciate the natural world.

He's certainly deserving of our top spot at People World today.

Our next hot is Tasha Ghouri who received a promise ring on Christmas Day. The former Love Island star, 23, is still in a relationship with her Love Island co-star Andrew Le Page.

And in a video posted on her YouTube channel, Tasha was visibly moved to tears by one gift she received from Andrew this Christmas. There are maybe wedding bells on the way for the couple in 2023... She's also enjoyed a reunion with her brother who is in Australia and Tasha not seen him for seven years. They were seen exploring a wildlife sanctuary together. Lots for Tasha to look forward to in the year ahead.

Our last hot is Claudia Winkleman for presenting a new game show. BBC's latest game show ‘The Traitors’ only premiered in October this year, but fans are already hooked. There are big rumours about who feature in a celebrity version of the show too.

Claudia's ability to bring humour and warmth to whatever she presents will ensure this show is a success and we look forward to watching.

Our first not for today is Kim Kardashian for what has now become a deleted video on social media. There was a video showing the influencer and business mogul's home and the dogs appeared to be behind a gated enclosure in the garage. People flocked to the comments section to leave messages of concern for her pooches, wondering why they were in the garage and not in the main house.

In fairness the garage looked alright, and is presumably heated... but yes, most people would want their beloved dogs to be in the house alongside the family. Whatever the truth is, we hope her dogs are getting lots of walks and cuddles, which has certainly seemed the case on her reality TV show.

Our next not is Andrew Tate and for obvious reasons if you've scoured the news headlines today. He has now been arrested for alleged human trafficking and rape charges. He was on our not list yesterday for trolling Greta Thunberg and said he was going to order a pizza... which said pizza was rumoured to be how police tracked down where Tate was living.

I'm sure this isn't the last we've heard of Andrew Tate.

Our last not for today is Brad Pitt. He apparently, according to Courtney Love, said director David Fincher had hired her to star opposite Pitt and Edward Norton in the cult classic film Fight Club, but she got fired after she rejected a pitch Pitt brought to her.

The actor had asked Love if he could play her late husband, Kurt Cobain, in a Gus Van Sant project, and she said she turned him down. “I wouldn’t let Brad play Kurt,” she said on the podcast. “I went nuclear. I don’t do Faust. Who the f*** do you think you are?”

We respect your opinion Love and we also think men having power over who gets hired and fired in Hollywood sounds very plausible. We wonder if Brad will respond to the claims. Probably not.

Those are our hots and nots for today and as usual feel free to email in your comments on our selections: [email protected]
