A former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star has taken aim after being ‘bullied’ by Rebekah Vardy. In 2017 stand-up comedian turned broadcaster Iain Lee appeared on the long-running ITV reality series.

His comments come as Vardy reignited her feud with Coleen Rooney, who is appearing on the current season, following their infamous Wagatha Christie defamation trial two years ago. Reflecting on his experience in the jungle, Iain said he suffered a…

Until now, the cast of I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2024 has been getting on like a house (well, camp) on fire… but less than a week after entering the Jungle, two stars have come to blows. The likes of Oti Mabuse and Coleen Rooney headed Down Under last weekend for the once-in-a-lifetime experience, while Maura Higgins and Reverend Richard Coles have since joined as latecomers. Tonight, though, two of the camp’s bubbliest personalities clashed, as Dean McCullough and Alan Halsall gave us the first row of the series. As camp leader along with Tulisa Contostavlos, Alan,…

A reader argues that the low-tech Nintendo DS is the best console ever made, with a line-up of exclusive games unlike any other. I very much enjoyed the recent feature on the 10 weirdest Nintendo DS games and was proud to realise that I own most of them. They were categorised as the best and the weirdest and I feel that sums up the DS very well. It had a mountain of great games but almost all of them were odd or peculiar in some way, and not something you could imagine existing on any other format – not even…

Jamie Redknapp has slammed Ilkay Gundogan after the Manchester City midfielder’s leggy display in his side’s 4-0 loss to Tottenham. The defending Premier League champion, seeking to stop the rot after four losses in a row, fell behind early after a well-taken brace from James Maddison. And it only got worse for Pep Guardiola’s side after the break as Pedro Porro’s goal – followed by Brennan Johnson’s late strike – condemned City to their fifth loss in a row. Much has been made of the absence of Ballond d’Or winner Rodri in midfield and it proved telling once again, with…

Kyle Walker has warned that Manchester City will get ‘walked over’ by Liverpool if they don’t improve before their crunch Premier League clash next weekend. City fell to a scarcely believable 4-0 home defeat against Tottenham meaning they have now lost five games in a row for the first time since 2006.

Amoirm, who has replaced Erik ten Hag after leaving Sporting Lisbon, takes charge of the Red Devils on Sunday as they travel to Ipswich Town.

The Portuguese coach, who arrived during the international break, has cut a relaxed and positive figure with…

It is perhaps telling that the first name inscribed on the new Club World Cup trophy – before even the first winner – was FIFA President Gianni Infantino. Describing the new 32-team tournament as ‘the pinnacle of all club competitions’, the 24-carat gold trophy, crafted by Tiffany & Co, hailed the incumbent FIFA boss as the project’s inspiration and founding president. Barely a post goes out on Infantino’s social media accounts without his final approval and the wording on this trophy was no different. But while the vanity of plastering one’s own name on a trophy may only rile up fans,…
