So, 2016 may be over, but there's one figure who dominated last year who's got no plans of shying away from the limelight. Former UKIP leader Nigel Farage is to present a chat show on LBC (Leading Britain's Conversation) Radio.

The MEP for south-east England will present The Nigel Farage Show from 7pm to 8pm, Monday to Thursday. The host tweeted his delight at the announcement:

I can't wait to start this new daily show. I invite listeners to agree with me, challenge me & together we can lead Britain’s conversation. — Nigel Farage (@Nigel_Farage) January 5, 2017

Farage resigned as UKIP leader last summer but returned when his successor, Diane James, resigned after less than three weeks in the job.

The new show starts next Monday, and we're sure it won't be controversial in any way.

Remember when Bob Geldof and Nigel Farage went head-to-head in a Thames boat battle?

In less depressing news, an artist is bringing a bouncy castle to London - and yes, you can jump on it.
