Bjorn Again and ex-Bullseye host and comedian Jim Bowen entertained the Biba troops last Thursday night.

Bowen got a few laughs but most people wanted to know if he was resurrecting his career with ITV's decision to revive the 1980s cult gameshow. Sadly not it seems. Tony Green, the man on the ockey, is back but Phoenix Nights star Dave Spikey will replace Bowen.

Poor Bowen was seen the next morning tucking into the buffet breakfast at the Quality Inn. One Biba delegate said: "It was not a super smashing sight."

The 2025 Insurance Times Awards took place on the evening of Wednesday 3rd December in the iconic Great Room of London’s Grosvenor House.
