Wynne Evans is favourite to leave Strictly Come Dancing on the upcoming Blackpool special, but he could benefit from a series pattern. While it may initially seem like totally bad news that Wynne and his professional dance partner Katya Jones had to face Shayne Ward and Nancy Xu in the latest dance-off, there is an unexpected benefit. The bottom two is undeniably a tough position to be in on the BBC Entertainment show, but there’s a reward for the pair who are saved by the judges. Not only do they progress to the next week, but so far in the 2024 series,…

Netflix fans have labelled the second season of an animated series a ‘cinematic triumph’. The adult animated steampunk action-adventure series Arcane is set in Riot’s League of Legends universe and primarily focuses on sisters Vi and Jinx, who are voiced by Hailee Steinfeld and Ella Purnell. The first season was released in 2021, followed by another, which premiered last week. The synopsis for the show teases: ‘Amidst the escalating unrest between the rich, utopian city of Piltover and the seedy, oppressed underbelly of Zaun, sisters Vi and Jinx find themselves embroiled in a developing conflict over clashing convictions and arcane…

A Hollywood great who won an Oscar almost a decade ago is reportedly the top contender to play Albus Dumbledore in the Harry Potter TV show. When it was announced that a reboot was in the works, this news inevitably sparked passionate reactions from fans around the world. Some were incredibly excited about the development, while others were already adamant in their vow to boycott the HBO Max series completely. As excitement grows over who will play the golden trio Harry, Ron and Hermione – following in the footsteps of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint and Emma Watson – it’s now…

Almost a month on from the shocking death of Liam Payne, tributes from friends and fellow musicians continue to reduce fans to tears. On October 16, the One Direction star tragically died at the age of 31 after falling from a third-floor balcony at his hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. During the MTV EMAs in Manchester, his friend Rita Ora broke down on stage as she honoured his legacy. Now, a fellow chart-topping boyband has left fans ‘horrifically emotional’ with their live cover of one of One Direction’s biggest hits. The Jonas Brothers did not introduce the song or speak about Payne’s…

The husband of late Australian TV presenter Erin Jayne Plummer has tragically died two years after her death. In 2022 Plummer died by suicide aged 42, with the news confirmed publicly by her co-stars Sarah Harris and Angela Bishop. At the time, her loved ones revealed the presenter had taken her own life following a long battle with her mental health. Now, two years on, her husband Alan Plummer has died, with a source calling the incident ‘tragic’. The 49-year-old was found dead in Freshwater on Sydney’s northern beaches on Sunday, leaving the couple’s three daughters orphaned. In a statement,…

Small leapReportedly the PS4 Pro made up 14.5m of the PS4’s 117m units shifted, around 12%. Some units would have been double dippers, so I’d say 10% is fair. The PS5 Pro will be about the same percentage as well. Although I don’t think there’s much crossover between Sony’s hardware and software divisions the complaints about the former due to the lack of the latter is to be expected. I’m not sure though why the 90% who have no interest in the Pro have to get so bent out of shape about what it’s offering, even if they are scratching…

Strictly Come Dancing is bringing a beloved animated TV character to the ballroom for the first time in a ‘unique’ crossover. The hit BBC show will be involved in this year’s Children In Need charity telethon and they’ve announced Bluey will be part of a routine with pros Dianne Buswell, Nadiya Bychkova, Neil Jones, Gorka Marquez, Johannes Radebe and Michelle Tsiakkas. The ‘worldwide TV sensation’ – who has been kept kids and parents alike gripped for years since its launch in 2018 – will be performing a ‘playful dance’. From the Mashed Potato and The Floss to The Alligator, Bluey…

Akon has opened up about spreading some much-needed positivity with his new music, and looking back at the lyrics of his legendary past songs. The 51-year-old has been a staple of the industry since his single, Locked Up, hit the charts in 2004, and has worked with names including Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Gwen Stefani and David Guetta on mammoth hits over the years. Aside from music, he has also been hard at work building up his own futuristic city, aka Akon City, in Senegal, which runs on his very own cryptocurrency, named Akoin. Although the singer has been in the…

Mattel has been forced to apologise over an x-rated gaff on new Wicked dolls. The iconic toymaker has released a series of dolls to tie into the beloved musical’s upcoming blockbuster film adaptation, but eagle eyed customers noticed a rather unfortunate mistake on the packaging. Instead of directing people to the official Wicked movie website, there was actually a link to Wicked.com, which is actually a site for a porn studio’s new offering. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Mattel said: ‘Mattel was made aware of a misprint on the packaging of the Mattel Wicked collection dolls, primarily sold…

Strictly Come Dancing stars Tom Dean and Nadiya Bychkova are said to be comforting each other after their own break-ups. The pair became the first to be eliminated from this year’s competition, but still remain close, according to reports. Olympian Tom, 24, split from his girlfriend Charlotte Phillips, just two weeks into his Strictly experience, it’s claimed, while Nadiya, 35, suffered her own heartbreak after splitting from her boyfriend of two years and fellow pro Kai Widdrington. It’s now been claimed Tom has been a ‘rock’ for Nadiya and they’ve been enjoying lunch dates together, with a source saying: ‘Nadiya…

Let’s face it, girl groups have all but vanished from the pop scene despite icons like No Doubt, Spice Girls, and Destiny’s Child dominating the charts for decades. Female popstars have made a huge comeback this year so where are all the groups? If you’ve been waiting for someone to fill that Little Mix-shaped hole in your playlists, Flo are effortlessly ticking all the boxes even before they drop their seductive debut album, Access All Areas. First ever single, ‘Cardboard Box’, firmly placed them on our playlists with 2022’s EP The Lead securing festivals, TV appearances, and a Brit Award…

It was an eventful Saturday night for Katie Price, who surprised London fans by taking the stage to perform her 2017 track I Got U – and reignited a feud while she was at it. The former glamour model, 46, looked to be in good spirits as she took centre stage at Clapham Grand during a drag competition night, flaunting her impressive singing capabilities. However, it was her reported comments about Emily Atack that had fans talking. Wearing tight camo print leggings, a matching tank top and a cap, the star paired her look with black heeled boots and bounced…

Leonardo DiCaprio was surrounded by his long-time Hollywood pals as he celebrated turning 50 this weekend. The Titanic icon ditched the club on Saturday and hosted an intimate dinner at his Los Angeles home, reportedly catered by celebrity favourite Nobu. Guests included Katy Perry, Brad Pitt, Steven Spielberg, Robin Thicke, Mark Ruffalo, Edward Norton, Paris Hilton, and Brad Pitt. Spiderman’s Tobey Maguire, 49, was also said to be in attendance, hardly surprising given how close the duo are — they even spent a summer travelling around Europe together. This fancy dinner was followed by performances from Anderson .Paak and DJ…

Good Morning Britain star Narinder Kaur has apologised for offence caused after sparking backlash over a tweet she posted about Kate Middleton. On Sunday, the Princess of Wales joined other members of the royal family to attend the annual Remembrance Day service at the Cenotaph war memorial in Westminster, to commemorate members of the British and Commonwealth armed forces who have died while fighting in wars. Following her appearance at the ceremony, Narinder wrote a tweet commenting on Kate’s ‘ageing’ and questioning if she’s a smoker. The TV personality was criticised for her remark, with people pointing out that the…

Olivia Rodrigo has just been announced as the headliner for BST Hyde Park 2025, a gig which helpfully falls right on Glastonbury weekend. The Brutal hitmaker is currently on a break from her Guts World Tour, having just finished a string of Australian shows. Her two widely popular albums have produced three Grammys, three number-one hits and 14 charting songs, with over 2.3million monthly listeners.

Nintendo is being a big tease (Nintendo)As the world awaits news on the Switch 2, Nintendo continues to troll fans with another Direct presentation on something completely unrelated. Ever since Nintendo confirmed its next console will be shown at some point before April 2025, every new announcement from the company has come with added anticipation. Nintendo has resorted to putting disclaimers on subsequent Direct presentations to control expectations, but there’s been a string of surprises in recent months which has bordered on troll behaviour – including a museum, the Alarmo clock, a new music app, and a Switch port of…

Footballing legend Paul Gascoigne has revealed he failed the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! psychiatrist test not once or twice, but five times. Later this month, the likes of Danny Jones, Maura Higgins, Coleen Rooney, Tulisa, and Oti Mabuse are rumoured to be heading into camp for the hotly anticipated new series. Gazza, 57, has been due to head Down Under with Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly on several occasions; however, the medical assessments ahead of the series placed obstacles in his path. He has been open about his addiction battles since retiring in 2004, having struggled…

Jamie Oliver has apologised and withdrawn a children’s book he wrote after it was criticised for causing offence to First Nation Australians. The TV chef and father-of-five is among a long list of celebrities to have produced their own book for youngsters. It comes after the Australian subplot in Jamie’s 400-page fantasy novel, Billy and the Epic Escape, was criticised for being damaging and disrespectful. As reported by The Guardian, National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Education Corporation (Natsiec) blasted the book, which tells the story of a First Nations girl living in foster care, for contributing to the ‘erasure,…

 GTA 5 – not for kids (Rockstar Games) After Grand Theft Auto is banned in one country a reader admits that he wouldn’t be upset if the same happened here, in order to protect his son. Earlier this week there was a news story about the country of Tajikistan banning Grand Theft Auto, as well as Counter-Strike. This was met with much patronising comment by a lot of gamers, but I have to say it doesn’t sound that incomprehensible to me. I don’t know why they banned it, maybe their reasons weren’t good, but as a father of a seven-year-old…

There’s nothing like a good debate about your favourite TV shows to spark up a fiery discussion that could go on for days on end. People will always disagree about which series they love and hate – but, in some cases, critical acclaim can end up being pretty much universal. In a recent Reddit post, a user called phildunpheee – aptly named (we’re assuming) after Ty Burrell’s character Phil Dunphy from Modern Family – they asked others what sitcom they would deem perfect in every way. ‘What’s a sitcom that started as a 10, stayed a 10, and ended as…

Phillip Schofield said his final goodbyes to his beloved mother this weekend as Pat’s funeral took place at St. Michael’s Church in Newquay, Cornwall. The former This Morning presenter announced his mother’s death at the age of 88 on October 14, writing in a statement at the time that her final moments were ‘calm peaceful, beautiful and dignified.’ On Friday, Schofield was joined by close friends and family for the funeral and had the full support of his wife, Stephanie Lowe, and their two daughters, Ruby and Molly. The 62-year-old looked devastated as he carried his mother’s casket, which was carefully…

For leading men in the world of Hollywood, showbiz, and TV, a killer moustache can complete a famous look and make it truly iconic. Would Friends be the same if Richard Burke hadn’t been blessed with Tom Selleck’s iconic nose neighbour? Would Ned Flanders be the same without his? Charlie Chaplin had a career that lasted 75 years but his most famous looks come from his black tash era. Sacha Baron Cohen’s character Borat inspired Halloween costumes for decades. And the joy of having one isn’t just limited to film and TV either, with rockstars like Freddie Mercury, wrestlers like…

Eamonn Holmes has made a rare comment about the ‘tough year’ he’s faced. The GB News presenter, 64, has been struggling with his health and suffering from chronic pain over the last few years, and has been pictured in public using crutches and in a wheelchair. Earlier this year, he opened up about his mobility issues, after saying that he was on ‘borrowed time’ and ‘not OK’. Eamonn has also faced a difficult year after splitting from wife Ruth Langsford after 14 years of marriage. He’s now opened up about the past few months, and shared gratitude for other parts of his…

Kelsey Grammer has teased a possible Only Fools and Horses reunion in an upcoming episode of Frasier, insisting that it ‘makes sense’. Fans went wild last year after it was announced that Nicholas Lyndhurst, who starred as Rodney Trotter in the classic BBC sitcom, had joined the cast of the Paramount+ revival of Frasier. He steals every scene as lazy Harvard professor Alan Cornwall, a colleague and close friend of the stuffy psychiatrist. It’s fair to say that the second the revival was announced, fans began calling out for Sir David Jason to get involved in some way, reuniting Nicholas…
