- By RUSSELL JACKSON

I’m A Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here!, Killing Eve, Black Panther and A Star Is Born were the most searched-for topics in the UK on Google for entertainm­ent fans this year.

New data from the search engine for its annual Year In Search review also showed small-screen efforts including Bodyguard and Love Island and films such as Deadpool 2 and Avengers: Infinity War were among the most popular. Jungle-based ITV reality show I’m A Celebrity was the top search overall for TV fans in 2018.

The programme made headlines when it was revealed Declan Donnelly would be presenting alongside Holly Willoughby, who stood in for longrunnin­g host Ant Mcpartlin as he took a break from TV commitment­s following a drink-driving charge.

Second on the list of TV searches was Killing Eve, BBC America’s highlyaccl­aimed spy drama starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer.

Jed Mercurio’s hit BBC One drama Bodyguard, starring Richard Madden, was third, above ITV2 reality dating series Love Island in fourth place and Celebrity Big Brother in fifth. Among the top trending movies, Marvel blockbuste­r Black Panther emerged as number one.
