Liam Payne’s friend Rogelio Nores has denied abandoning the late pop star before his death. The former One Direction star died last month aged 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, and now Nores – known as Roger – has spoken out in an emotional statement and denied being a suspect. Three suspects have been arrested and are under formal investigation over Payne’s death, with one of them being an unnamed ‘friend’. Nores had been with the singer in the days before his died, but he has rubbished suggestions he is the individual charged with ‘abandoning a…

X Factor winner Sam Bailey has revealed the tough times her and her family have been going through following her son’s epilepsy diagnosis, saying that the past year has been ‘traumatic’. In a post shared on Instagram, the singer – who won the ITV series in 2013 – emphasised the need to spread more awareness about the condition, which the NHS explains is a ‘common condition that affects the brain and causes frequent seizures’. ‘This month is epilepsy awareness month! So here I am, showing you how traumatic it has been for us the last year!’ wrote the 47-year-old. Sam…

Mark Wahlberg’s new restaurant caught fire just hours before hosting a ribbon-cutting ceremony. The 53-year-old Hollywood star – who also owns the Wahlburgers chain with brothers Paul and Donnie with 90 locations – opened Mexican restaurant Flecha Cantina in Las Vegas, Nevada almost two months ago. On Wednesday evening emergency services rushed to the venue after flames engulfed the outdoor patio, with videos on social media showing the blaze as firetrucks arrived on the scene and quickly reacted to put out the flames. The Clark County Fire Department had responded to reports of the fire at around 5:30pm, with the…

Primal Scream’s Bobby Gillespie has accused Blur’s bassist Alex James of ‘social climbing’. The frontman, 63, has long been outspoken about his working-class Glaswegian perspective and socialist-leaning views. ‘I find myself in the strange position of being both inside and outside of [class],’ he wrote in an essay alongside the announcement of Come Ahead, Primal Scream’s 12th album, explaining this straddle is something he ‘wrestles with’. When asked about what he meant by this in an interview with The i, Bobby explained that when you’re ‘in a successful band, you get invited to things, know people from different classes, you’ve…

David Baddiel is worried that if he continues to do stand up comedy forever it could ‘kill him’. The comedian, 60, has opened up on Good Morning Britain about stand up being an ‘all consuming’ job, to the point where he worries one day it will be the end of him. ‘Stand up and making people laugh live is psychologically very all-consuming, and you sometimes think, I don’t think I can keep doing this until I die because it’s going to kill me,’ he said on Friday morning. However, the author – who co-wrote football anthem Three Lions with fellow…

It was billed as revolutionary but now Netflix appears to be abandoning plans to make interactive Entertainment a staple of its content offering. These titles allowed viewers to participate in the story by making a series of choices that determined the outcome of the overall narrative, but the streaming giant is very quietly removing 20 of their 24 interactive movies and shows from their platform. The only remaining interactive titles that will still be available to watch on Netflix are the very popular Black Mirror: Bandersnatch, the star-studded Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt: Kimmy vs the Reverend, and the Bear Grylls survival…

Rockstar Games owner Take-Two is insisting that GTA 6 will be out next year as GTA 5 sales pass another milestone. Apart from last year’s trailer, developer Rockstar Games and publisher Take-Two have said almost nothing about blockbuster-to-be GTA 6. Considering that trailer didn’t reveal much in the way of details, fans have continued to be starved for information, concocting elaborate theories on when a second trailer will be released. The long silence has also led to speculation and rumours of a delay, despite Take-Two’s assurance that GTA 6 will be out by the end of 2025. Now, the company…

George Clooney is the unlikely scapegoat of election backlash after he called for Joe Biden to resign from the US presidential election months ago. After gaining a conclusive lead, Trump passed the threshold of 270 electoral votes on October 6 to become the 47th president of the United States, leaving Kamala Harris voters crestfallen. He currently holds 296 electoral votes and is ahead in the popular vote. The actor, 63, wrote a viral op-ed for the New York Times in July where he directly called for Biden to step down from his candidacy in order to give the democrats a…

One of Hollywood – and the UK’s – most prestigious filmmakers could be about to direct a 007 film. Sir Steve McQueen enjoyed Oscar-winning success with 12 Years A Slave in 2013 and is currently promoting his impactful new World War Two film Blitz, starring Saoirse Ronan (herself open to Bond), Paul Weller and Stephen Graham. However, insiders have now claimed that Eon Productions is keen for him to take the reins on an instalment of their James Bond franchise. While there’s been much speculation over who could play the spy – inheriting their licence to kill from Daniel Craig,…

Coleen Rooney, who is regarded as the biggest star taking part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! 2024, could be exempt from Bushtucker Trials due to her chronic illness. This month, the ITV series is set to return with one of the most star-studded line-ups ever. The entire cast was recently ‘confirmed’ in a supposed leak, with stars including Maura Higgins, Danny Jones, Tulisa Contostavlos, Oti Mabuse and GK Barry tipped to be entering the jungle in Australia.

Elon Musk has said he’s among the top 20 players of Diablo 4 in the world, but there are some caveats to his claims. As the CEO of technology companies like SpaceX and Tesla, it’s perhaps not surprising that Elon Musk is a fan of video games, in particular Diablo 4. Following the action role-player’s launch last year, Musk streamed himself playing the game on Twitter, and also claimed to be one of the top Quake players in the world, back in the late 90s – which later turned out not to be the case. In the run up to…

Aside from the US election results, the topic of conversation that has dominated social media in the last 48 hours is, quite unexpectedly, Gary Barlow’s son. Daniel Barlow, 24, was pictured alongside the Take That hitmaker, 53, positively dwarfing his dad and the rest of their family, and the internet has reacted. Memes have spread like wildfire in a perfect distraction from the political news that has seen Donald Trump re-elected as the 47th President of the United States. We thought these were two separate online conversations, until Trump’s son Barron, 18, stood up alongside the Republican, and everyone was…

Brat summer is officially over and Charli XCX has moved on to a completely different project; a high fantasy queer period drama. 100 Nights of Hero will be the first time the Apple hitmaker appears in a full-length non-animated film after a voice role in the Angry Birds Movie (2016).

Jeremy Clarkson shared some exciting news about Clarkson’s Farm, and fans are incredibly happy. The former Top Gear presenter took to Instagram to officially confirm series five of the Amazon Prime Video is coming. Instead of celebrating the commission with a slideshow of images of Diddly Squat farm, and a written caption, Jeremy saw an opportunity to put on a performance. As they chose to publish the confirmation on Bonfire Night, Jeremy, 64, decided to lean into the dramatics of the evening. The British tradition is held to mark the failed 1605 Gunpowder Plot by Guy Fawkes, but Jeremy made the occasion…

Metal Slug Tactics – they got a bigger boat (Dotemu) 90s run ‘n’ gun classic Metal Slug is reimagined as a turn-based tactics game that looks and plays just like the original games. The word hardcore is next to meaningless when it comes to video games. When describing gamers, you can assume that it means someone that plays a lot of games, but what kind? Are you a hardcore gamer if you play Call Of Duty five hours a day? Or if you know what a Turbografx is, and own a physical copy of Radiant Silvergun, but barely get to…

The Wednesday letters page looks forward to Nintendo being doomed next gen, as one reader is upset about broken games like Metro Awakening. In-betweenersI wonder why Rockstar Games has never made any attempt to remaster Red Dead Revolver. I know it’s a very different game to the others but my memories of it is that it was still a fun shooter. At the very least it’s a curiosity that I’m sure Red Dead fans would be interested in playing again. And if Rockstar don’t feel it’s not good enough anymore, why not remake it and improve it? Apart from anything…
