Good Morning Britain host Ed Balls had to ‘sit out’ of an interview with his wife Yvette Cooper, after sparking immense backlash last time. The former politician interviewed the home secretary in August alongside ITV co-host Kate Garraway. However, viewers were outraged by the segment, questioning whether the fact they were married had an impact on the interview. In total, Good Morning Britain that day received a total of 16,783 Ofcom complaints over Balls interviewing Cooper and over his comments to Labour MP Zarah Sultana following the Islamophobic and racist UK riots. Several argued that Balls, 57, would be unable…

Alison Hammond has been left less than impressed after her son revealed she ‘farts in the cinema’. The This Morning presenter, 49, was one of the guests on Romesh Ranganathan’s new quiz show, Parents’ Evening tonight. The panel show sees three famous faces team up with their sons, daughters, mums or dads, with their family members then having to determine how many answers to questions their loved one might know. The premiere episode saw Alison and her son Aidan, 19, appear alongside Iain Stirling and his mum Alison and Carol Vorderman and her son Cameron. During one of the segments,…

Carol Vorderman has been slammed by her son after spoiling a game show they were appearing on. The TV and radio presenter, 63, began her media career on the Channel 4 game show Countdown, appearing with Richard Whiteley from 1982 until his death in 2005, and subsequently with Des Lynam and Des O’Connor, before leaving in 2008. The series’ involved word and mathematical tasks, however Carol appeared to forget how the format of quizzes and how they work this week. One of the guests on Romesh Ranganathan’s new quiz show, Parents’ Evening, she paired up with her son Cameron, while…

A reader suspects that the average age of Call Of Duty players is rapidly increasing and suggests it’s made Black Ops 6 a more enjoyable game. It was mentioned the other day that Call Of Duty has been dominating the games industry for 17 years now, which I took to be a reference to Call Of Duty 4. That was certainly a milestone moment for the series, and gaming in general, but Call Of Duty has actually been around since 2003 – which is a bit odd because I don’t remember them really making a fuss about the 20th anniversary…

The term ‘nepo baby’ has been bandied about a lot over the past few years. Disgruntled discussions have subsequently followed from people expressing their annoyance about those who are born into privilege – particularly with famous parents – who might use their well-known relative to get a leg-up in their own careers. Derived from the word ‘nepotism’, famous so-called ‘nepo babies’ include the likes of Hailey Bieber, Brooklyn Beckham, Zoe Kravitz, Jack Quaid, Maude Apatow, Gwyneth Paltrow, Lily Allen and many more. So what happens when one of these nepo babies decides to test how society treats someone differently if…

Mick Hucknall was snapped on a dog walk around North London and was completely unrecognisable as he covered his iconic red hair under a bucket hat. The eighties pop star best known for being the frontman of Simply Red flew under the radar as he took his dog for a walk in a rare public appearance. The Holding Back The Years singer wore a layered look consisting of beige trousers, a green long-sleeve t-shirt, a brown leather gilet, and a grey bucket har. He also made sure to keep a low profile with a large pair of sunglasses that protected…

It’s been claimed Eamonn Holmes and his new girlfriend Katie Alexander began sending flirty messages to each other 12 years ago. The GB News presenter, 64, revealed his new relationship with the counsellor, 42, just months after announcing his split from Ruth Langsford. The couple have since been pictured together and embarked on a luxury Mediterranean cruise, with previous reports claiming that they first met on social media in 2015. It has now however been alleged that they began to send flirty online messages more than a decade ago, and that Katie’s then-husband George was involved. According to The Sun,…

Kerry Katona has announced the sad news that she’s split from her long-term fiancé Ryan Mahoney – after six years together. The TV personality and former Atomic Kitten singer, 44, got engaged to personal trainer Ryan, 35, in 2020, with a wedding planned for the near future. However, any wedding plans have now been cancelled, a short while after the mum-of-five revealed she was living with her mum Sue again. The couple had reportedly intended to tie the knot in Las Vegas in July this year, but the I’m A Celebrity star revealed those plans had also been called off.…

Jamie Laing and Spencer Matthews have left fans ‘gutted’ after announcing their beloved 6 Degrees podcast is coming to an end. The Made In Chelsea stars began 6 Degrees from Jamie and Spencer in 2020, and have delighted fans with their antics as they attempt to track down a different megastar in each episode with six phone calls or less. From Brad Pitt to Paul Rudd and Jennifer Lopez, the duo have had their detective hats on over the past four years and multiple seasons, but all good things must come to an end as the duo announced their latest…

Finally, five years after the divisive season 8 finale, the news Game of Thrones fans have been waiting for has arrived – a movie is in the works. The series’ eight-year run from 2011 until 2019 marked a pivotal moment in TV history, propelling actors including Kit Harington and Emilia Clarke to global fame. While it has been revereed as one of the greatest shows of all time, many were left sorely disappointed by the season eight finale, which saw Jon Snow (Kit) kill Daenerys Targaryen (Emilia) before she could claim the Iron Throne. However, now that a film is reportedly…

If anyone was thinking about a Spice Girls Glastonbury 2025 reunion, you can think again. The five-piece girl band – responsible for hits including Spice Up Your Life, Wannabe and 2 Become 1 – haven’t performed together since 2019, when they set out on tour as a four-person group, without Victoria Beckham, who is very much in popstar retirement. Before then, the last time the five stars all performed together – save VB’s 50th birthday bash, when they danced in an iconic video shared by David Beckham earlier this year – was in 2012, for the London Olympics closing ceremony.…

The 90s pop icon, 52, sported his signature long locks but hid behind a pair of black sunglasses while taking a walk in Perth.

Danny Jones is reportedly close to replacing Tommy Fury on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! The McFly pop rocker, 38, is said to be in talks to take on the ‘hunk’ role on the show after reports the 25-year-old boxer pulled out just weeks before the programme is due to start. It has been claimed the Love Island star, who recently split from his fiancee and mother of his daughter Bambi, Molly-Mae Hague, has instead agreed to compete in a boxing rematch against KSI. While that was disappointing news for those hoping he might spill on his breakup, it opens the door for…

The Glastonbury 2024 line-up was a catastrophic flop. There, I said it. I was in the crowd when Dua Lipa lit up the Pyramid Stage with her party anthems, and – don’t get me wrong – the 29-year-old Houdini hit-maker is a queen. Her songs are decent, likeable, and popular. She’s also very famous, giving her just enough ammunition to make her worthy of the Glastonbury headliner title, which is not an honour many artists can claim. But she’s not a band – and that’s where the problem lies for me. A band needs that very top spot to harness…

BBC star Rebecca Mason is closing a big chapter of her life after over a decade. The Morning Live regular has made the ‘tough decision’ to walk away from her police officer job to focus on other aspects of her career. Taking to Instagram, she explained that she’d like to head in a ‘new direction’, but will always be grateful for the 14 years of experience. ‘After 14 years as a Police Officer and 10 of those serving as a Detective, I’ve made the tough decision to step away from the badge and let my career take a new direction,’…

On Halloween 1992, Sir Michael Parkinson’s prank gave children PTSD. Ghostwatch was the mockumentary that tricked millions of viewers and saw national treasure Parky team up with former Blue Peter presenter Sarah Greene to investigate paranormal activity at a family home. On the surface, it appeared like a regular news report with two of the country’s most trusted names at the helm. Why would anyone suspect otherwise? The programme, which aired at 9.25pm, featured ‘home footage’ of a ghost terrorising two children in their bedroom with their mother rushing to get them out of the house. It felt so real…

Hugh Grant has finally revealed the unique names of his daughters for the first time. The 64-year-old, who had never publicly revealed the names before, spoke on the Jimmy Kimmel chat show on Tuesday, and discussed how he’d chosen monikers for his eight-year-old and six-year-old daughters, who he shares with wife Anna Aberstein. The chat show host quizzed the Notting Hill actor on his middle name, which is Mungo, and Hugh admitted he had ‘very unkind parents’. After pressing if Hugh had gifted his middle name on any of his children, the actor responded: ‘Worse. I have a daughter who…

Whether the classic monster movies gave you nightmares or the modern rise in psychological horror makes you glance out of the corner of your eye, a new study has determined the title that comes out on top just in time for Halloween.

It’s a huge task for any filmmaker to try to bring back something from the past on screen: at a time when cinema is changing rapidly, it feels almost impossible. But Sean Baker had an intention with his latest effort Anora, one of the most critically acclaimed films of 2024 and the winner of this year’s Palme D’Or – to reintroduce something to modern-day cinema that has been missing. Of his inspiration for the effervescent Anora, he tells Metro that it’s ‘films from the 80s that were dramas or dramadies made for adults that we’re not seeing a lot of…

Coldplay played their first concert without bassist Guy Berryman after he was struck down with illness on Wednesday evening. The Fix You hitmakers were forced to rope in their co-producer and engineer, Bill Rahko, at their Melbourne show after the 46-year-old musician was ‘taken ill unexpectedly’ at the ‘last minute’. Frontman Chris Martin explained Guy was literally ‘vomiting’ and promised to do the best they could with his replacement. He told the audience at the Marvel Stadium: ‘I have to say, thank you so much for coming to our show today. It’s a shame but we waited for the last…

Armie Hammer has announced a career comeback after a series of damaging accusations were made against him three years ago. The 38-year-old was at the height of his fame – best known for starring in Death on the Nile and Call Me By Your Name – when he was accused of ‘rape, emotional abuse and violence’ by multiple women in 2021, which he denied. It was also claimed Hammer had a ‘fetish for cannibalism’, as women claimed he made comments about wanting to ‘take a bite’ out of their body parts. He vehemently denied these accusations, previously branding them ‘outlandish’…

More than 15 million new players have joined The Sims 4 this year, as EA reconfirms that there’ll be no The Sims 5. Earlier in the year, EA said that there was no plan to make The Sims 5 and instead they’d just continue to update The Sims 4, which was first released in 2014. Some fans were surprised at this, especially since it was assumed that Project Rene – which is currently being tested – would eventually become a new sequel. But that’s not the case and now EA has given a very simple explanation for why: The Sims…

Three London Shake Shack restaurants will have a limited time menu inspired by World Of Warcraft, with a special tankard available in November. It’s not unusual to see video games collaborate with other companies to stir up some excitement for game launches, with one memorable example being that time Diablo held a contest for a PC full of actual blood. More recently, the newly released Black Ops 6 partnered up with energy drink Monster, to gift fans perks such as double XP and skins if they buy a can. Now, burger restaurant Shake Shack has announced that it will launch…

Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings was forced to apologize to a female contestant this week, after a ‘problematic’ clue. Days after a 00s child star graced the studio, returning player Will Wallace went up against Heather Ryan and Ian Taylor in a battle to take home the jackpot. However, things turned awkward during the Complete the Rhyming Phrase category, when the 50-year-old read the clue. ‘Men seldom make passes at,’ the presenter began, with the correct answer being ‘girls who wear glasses’. He noted that the clue was a ‘little problematic’ as the only female player taking part was also wearing…

James May has revealed a show he ‘wasn’t so keen’ on filming has been cancelled by Amazon Prime. The TV presenter is best known for fronting Top Gear and The Grand Tour but also travelled around the world in the series James May: Our Man In… The documentary series first aired in 2020 and ran for three seasons. It followed James, 61, as he travelled a country and underwent various local activities. In the first he went to Japan, followed by Italy and India, with the latter airing in January this year.
