Robbie Williams choked up as he addressed the death of a fan after one of his Australia shows last week.

A woman in her 70s named Robyn Hall was rushed to hospital last week after falling down six rows of seats at 49-year-old Robbie’s Sydney show on November 16.

Hall suffered serious head injuries and was placed in a coma but sadly died days later.

Performing as part of his XXV tour in Melbourne on Wednesday night, doting dad Robbie choked up when paying tribute to Hall.

In a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, by user @leonsjogren, Robbie appeared to become tearful as he told the crowd: ‘When something happens like this it breaks my heart.

‘I’ve been thinking about it an awful lot, and I thought about it all the way through the show tonight.’

He added: ‘I just want to give a big shout-out and lots of love from me and my band to Robyn and Robyn’s family.

‘Let’s all sing up, she was somebody just like you who came to the gig, just like you did tonight.’

Robbie then dedicated his hit song Angel to Hall.

On Tuesday, more details emerged about the circumstances surrounding Hall’s death, which was confirmed at the beginning of the week by St Vincent’s Hospital where she was being treated for her injuries.

Her son, Michael Hall, also took to Facebook to mourn his mum.

According to MailOnline, he wrote: ‘I haven’t got the words to say what my mum meant to me.’

She is thought to have been on the upper grandstand level and trying to climb over seats when she fell in what was called a ‘serious incident’.

On Friday, an ambulance service spokesperson confirmed to Sky News Australia that she was in critical condition after paramedics were called to the scene at 10.15pm.

Venues NSW confirmed in a statement: ‘This is a terribly sad incident and our thoughts and wishes are with the patron and their family during this time. The patron was attended to immediately by venue staff and a nearby guest who is a qualified medical professional.

‘Medics arrived shortly after and the patron was taken from the venue by ambulance to hospital.’

Fred Sirieix has surprised I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here with his real age.

Fine French food, and spending his days playing Cupid on First Dates, have clearly done wonders for Fred as he’s managed to shock a few people in the best way by revealing he is 51. Quelle surprise!

They were particularly taken aback when he decided to partake in a workout with Marvin Humes topless which meant displaying his impressive abs.

Workout buddies Marvin, 38, and Fred basically turned the Australian outback into The Gym Group doing a series of squats and getting a pump on by lifting their makeshift dumbells – rocks. At least in the jungle, they don’t have to awkwardly loiter by the occupied leg press machine.

One downside of the setup is you can’t take AirPods into I’m A Celebrity, so Marvin and Fred were forced to make up their own gym playlist.

‘Jungle living, living in the jungle,’ they sang between sets. With LadBaby ruling themselves out of the Christmas chart battle after five years, perhaps we’ve just had the first listen to the festive number one. In order to increase their chances, they could collaborate avec Peter Andre and do a mash-up with Insania.

Rather than listening to lyrics, viewers were more into Fred’s youthful looks.

‘Fred looks good for 51 though,’ remarked one person on X, formerly Twitter.

Another quipped: ‘Fred can be shirtless in the jungle any day.’

‘Fred’s quite the looker ain’t he?,’ wrote another viewer with great eyesight.

ITV needs to take notes as viewers want to see more of this content: ‘The shower and gym scene was SO needed.’

It wasn’t just viewers, who reacted pleasantly to the topless scenes – Josie Gibson, 38, had a hilarious reaction to Marvin heading for a shower.

With her eyes almost popping out of her head, Josie shouted: ‘Bloody hell Marv, is that your body? How many times a week do you work out? Jesus.’ Please Josie, never change.

The scenes have provided some light relief after a few disagreements in camp.

Fred severely offended YouTuber Nella Rose after making a comment that he could be her dad.

The TV star insisted he had made the remark because of their ages, as she is 26 – but Nella, who lost both her mum and her dad at a young age, was massively hurt by the comment.

She told him: ‘I would rather stay away from you, I don’t want to eat your food, I don’t want to talk to you. We can just live, you live on that side, I live on this side.’

Fred apologised profusely: ‘I made a mistake and I said something and I offended you, I’m really sorry. I’m really sorry you feel like this.’

I’m A Celebrity continues on ITV and ITVX tomorrow at 9pm.

50 Cent has delivered everything on his UK tour so far including a dancing grandma and a surprise appearance from Ed Sheeran – but an on-stage sex act might just top them all. 

During his final night at London’s O2 Arena on Tuesday, the G-Unit legend welcomed his collaborator and R&B singer Jeremih onto the stage. 

The two stars have worked together several times in the past, notably on the track Down On Me, but surprisingly it wasn’t that song which Jeremih got, well, down and dirty. 

While performing his own song Birthday Sex, Jeremih was seen canoodling with a dancer who was perched on top of a piano. Jeremih then proceeded to sing between her legs much to the shock of the audience who were almost stunned into silence bar a few screams as the scenes unfolded on the big screen. 

However, perhaps no one was more shocked than Love Island star Marcel Somerville, who shared footage of his shocked facial expression after being filmed by his wife. 

The reality star captioned the clip: ‘When you are with your wife at the 50 Cent tour & Jeremih’s part comes up.’ 

He added in the caption: ‘Well that was very unexpected.’ 

Reacting to the clip, one quipped: ‘Not a kids concert then,’ while another joked: ‘Bro out here singing while trying to remake 50 shades of grey the concert.’ 

Another laughed: ‘Was going to go with my son…glad I didn’t now.’ 

50 Cent’s tour has seen him celebrate his two decades of hits, which includes iconic songs such as In Da Club, P.I.M.P., 21 Questions, Many Men and Ayo Technology. 

Perhaps no one was loving his catalogue more than the elderly woman who was caught vibing to his music at the Birmingham show earlier this month. 

The 48-year-old shared a video of the woman having the time of her life and dancing to his 2007 track Ayo Technology. She could be seen waving her arms, slowly bouncing up and down and singing along to the chorus with a grin on her face and a pint in her hand.

50 – real name Curtis Jackson – called the woman ‘the coolest person at my show tonight by far.’

In a message accompanying the video, he added: ‘She was rocking wit me. Birmingham second show. LOL (sic).’ 

During one of 50’s final London shows, he was joined by none other then Ed Sheeran who roused the crowd with a performance of his hit Shape Of You.

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star Tony Bellew has revealed he was close to quitting the show following the death of his nan just days out from entering the jungle.

After weeks of speculation, the retired boxer has been confirmed as one of the latecomers to camp, which he’ll be joining alongside former jockey Frankie Dettori.

However, over the weekend, Tony shared the news that his beloved nan had died at the age of 97, which happened the day after he signed the contract for the reality series.

The former Cruiserweight World champion shared a heartfelt tribute on social media on Saturday.

Posting a series of photos of them together on Instagram, he captioned the post: ‘Goodnight Nan! I’ll love you forever girl.’

He’s now shared that he was close to pulling out of the show over concerns he wouldn’t be able to attend her funeral.

‘If I couldn’t have changed the funeral date I would have reneged,’ he said.

However after confirming he would be home in time for her funeral on December 15, he decided to push through with his plans.

‘I’m here now,’ he continued.’

‘She was in a home and told my mum: “I’ll be able to watch every night”. But I’m sure she’ll be watching wherever she is, whatever she’s doing.’

However, Tony did acknowledge he did have some regrets about making the journey to Australia so soon after his grandmother’s death.

‘I signed it [the contract] the day before she passed away so there’s no going back now. I signed it and I honoured my agreement. In an ideal world, I would have left it, but I signed the day before my nan passed away,’ he explained.

Sharing how close he was to his nan, Tony explained she was ‘wonderful’ and a ‘diamond of an old lady’.

‘I come from a single-parent’s household. My dad left when I was 10.

‘So when you come from where I come from your nan helps around because your mother has to work.

‘So your nan was your second mum. So yeah, she was a lovely woman and had a heart of gold. She’ll be missed by all of us.’

Tony, who met his wife Rachael Roberts when he was just nine years old, also shared being in the jungle will be the longest time they’ve ever been apart.

‘This is the longest I haven’t spoken to my wife for 22 years, since the day we’ve been together. But I’m used to being alone in the camp with the microwave and the iPad for weeks,’ he said.

‘I’m sure I’ll get to know Nigel Farage and we’ll go from there. I’m from a different world from these people and I don’t class myself as a celebrity. I’m just good at punching someone in the face.’

On tonight’s episode, Tony and Frankie will be entering camp, joining other famous faces including former politician Nigel Farage, This Morning’s Josie Gibson and influencer Nella Rose.

I’m A Celebrity continues tonight on ITV and ITVX at 9pm.

Kourtney Kardashian accidentally blindsided her family when it came to her very public baby announcement.

The Poosh owner sent fans into meltdown in June when she confirmed that she would be welcoming a child with husband Travis Barker.

The 44-year-old shared the news in the most iconic way possible, holding up a sign at the LA stop on Blink-182’s tour, which read, ‘Travis, I’m pregnant.’

While we were all living for the declaration – which was a not-so-subtle nod to the band’s All The Small Things music video – it turns out that she didn’t quite give mom Kris Jenner a warning that the news would be shared that way.

In the teaser for the season four finale of the Kardashians, which is released on Hulu and Disney + next week, Khloe Kardashian could be seen confessing: ‘She found out on the news, my mom. She wasn’t very happy….’

‘I woke up, I thought I was being Punk’d,’ Kris replied. ‘She forgot she had a family.’

Elsewhere in the brief footage, Kourtney also dropped the bombshell that they were planning a gender reveal party for their family and friends the very next day.

In shock at the speed of her eldest daughter’s plans, Kris quipped: ‘You’re telling me the day before? That’s so Kourtney.’

The lovebirds confirmed they were going to be welcoming a baby boy together, with the reality star giving birth to their son a few weeks ago.

While this marks their first child together, Kourtney is already mom to Mason, Penelope and Reign with ex-boyfriend, Scott Disick, while Travis shares Landon, Alabama and step daughter Atiana De La Hoya with former partner Shanna Moakler.

The latest episode took viewers behind the scenes of the announcement, as the reality star finally spilled the beans on expanding her family.

‘So guys, I’m having a baby. In case you can’t see my baby bump,’ she told the cameras, while wearing a robe.

‘I am five months pregnant,’ she continued in a confessional. ‘I have not told most people, I’ve told my closest friends, my family, my kids. I had told my mom pretty early on.’

We then saw footage from April of Kim, Kylie, Kendall and Khloe opening envelopes containing a scan photo around the 12-week mark.

Although Kourtney and Travis have yet to share a glimpse of their son, thought to be named Rocky Thirteen Barker, the mom-of-four confirmed his arrival in a birthday tribute to the drummer.

‘To my husband, my soulmate, my best friend, my lover, my daddy to our baby boy, my everything… I wish you the happiest birthday,’ she wrote on Instagram, beside a very NSFW photoshoot.

‘You make all of my dreams come true and I feel so blessed to have you by my side. I love you beyond words, forever.’

The Kardashians airs on Hulu in the US and is available to stream on Disney+ in the UK.

BBC Breakfast star Sally Nugent has been confirmed as one of the first celebrities taking part in Strictly Come Dancing’s Christmas special.

The all-star event will return to BBC One this year, with six brand new celebrity contestants vying to be crowned Christmas Champion 2023.

Each of the six couples will perform a festive fuelled routine with the hope of impressing the judges, Craig Revel Horwood, Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke, Head Judge Shirley Ballas, and the voting studio audience.

Sally, 52, will join broadcaster Dan Snow and actor Jamie Borthwick on the dancefloor this year, while she’s partnered up with Graziano Di Prima.

Announcing the news on Instagram alongside some snaps of the pair during training, she wrote: ‘I was in need of a little pick me up when the lovely people at Strictly called.

‘They kindly suggested I might like to learn to dance with @grazianodiprima in time for Christmas.

‘I am definitely not a dancer – but I will try my best. And there is no one better to learn with.

‘Join us on our Christmas adventure and I guarantee that we will all have fun along the way. Ciao 👋’

Sally’s former co-star Dan Walker, who appeared on Strictly in 2021, shared his support and commented: ‘GO ON SAL & GRAZ.’

Owain Wyn Evans added: ‘Omg Sal this is so good! Cannot wait to see it! 🪩 xxxx.’

‘I’m hoping the judges will be kind – and filled with Christmas spirit. And I hope everyone watching at home will enjoy a little bit of Strictly magic on Christmas night.’

History broadcaster, best-selling author and entrepreneur Dan, who spent 15 years working for the BBC, said: ‘I am absolutely terrified about hitting the dance floor. But I love getting out of my comfort zone and I’ve always wanted to learn how to dance properly. So I thought it was now or never!’

He’ll be partnered with Nadia Bychkova while Jay Brown actor Jamie will be taking to the floor with Nancy Xu.

He said: ‘I am so excited to be joining the cast of this years’ Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special.

‘From Walford to a Waltz, I can’t wait to learn a new skill and put my dancing to the test.

‘I’m hoping to spread Christmas cheer and have a good laugh with my professional dancer…get me on that dancefloor!’

Squid Game: The Challenge fans have been left doing a double take after noticing a former reality star taking part in the spin-off series.

Based on the hit South Korean dystopian drama, the recently released reality series follows 456 real players from around the world who enter the competition show in pursuit of a record-setting cash prize of $4.56 million (£3.725 million).

While things won’t be as dark as the original, where players were killed off one by one until there was a single player left standing, contestants are doing all it takes to pursue the prize money.

But when tuning in this week, viewers realised one of the contestants was a familiar face they’d seen many times before.

More than 20 years after starring on Gladiators, Michael Van Wijk, who was known as Wolf on the sports entertainment show, has signed up to put his body on the line all over again.

When watching the first episode, eagle-eyed fans spread the word about what they’d noticed.

‘As if Wolf from Gladiators is in Squid Game,’ one person posted on X, formerly Twitter.

‘Not Wolf from Gladiators participating in the Squid Game,’ someone else shared alongside a photo of him amongst the crowd.

Even Netflix played into the game of trying to spot him, joking that they would offer: ‘4.56 million (imaginary) dollars to anyone who spotted this iconic ’90s villain in Squid Game: The Challenge.’

The day after the episodes were released Wolf has also shared a photo of his time on the show, however in the snap he looks less than impressed.

But, as he explained, not all was at it seemed.

‘I have not seen this [the show] yet, but I’m sure when people see it that it looks like it [one of the challenges] took a few minutes to complete, when in reality we had to stand still for a couple of hours in -3 degree temperatures,’ he captioned the Instagram post.

Many of his fans were yet to realise he was appearing on the show, and quickly flooded the comments section to say they were going to tune in.

‘I wasn’t going to watch it, but if you’re in it, now I will!’ one person wrote.

Michael starred in all eight seasons of the original Gladiators series, which ran from 1992 until 1999.

His Wolf persona was inspired by the film Dances with Wolves, which he auditioned for in 1989, however was unsuccessful.

After Gladiators wrapped up, he moved to New Zealand and opened a chain of gyms.

Squid Game: The Challenge is now streaming on Netflix.

Alan Carr has found love with hairdresser Callum Heslop.

The Chatty Man star, 47, has even introduced 27-year-old Callum to his A-list pal Adele who promptly invited the new couple to spend Thanksgiving with her.

It’s Alan’s first romance since he split from his partner of 13 years, Paul Drayton, nearly two years ago.

Alan and Callum got together earlier this year and have already holidayed in Italy together.

The latter even recently joined his comedian beau in the USA.

This week, a source said of the pair’s romance: ‘They have a really nice friendship and that has been the base for a relationship to blossom.’

They added to the Sun: ‘They see a lot of each other and Callum took a break from work to head to the States with Alan.

‘It takes a lot to introduce a partner to someone as famous as Adele but she couldn’t have been friendlier.’

Meanwhile, Alan and Paul announced their split in a joint statement in January 2022, saying that the decision between the former couple was reportedly made ‘jointly and amicably’.

They famously tied the knot in LA back in 2018 with Adele getting ordained so she could marry them.

Following their split, Alan even joked that he retained custody of their friendship with Adele.

Back in March, Alan quipped that he was in the midst of his ‘slaggy phase’.

In an episode of his Life’s A Beach podcast, Alan spoke to Scissor Sisters’ Jake Shears, 44, about dating.

When Jake revealed that he is single and dating, Alan asked ‘if he knows anyone’, adding that he is in his ‘slaggy stage’ following his divorce.

‘I want to be a slag, but to be a slag you need someone to be slaggy with,’ the comedian said.

Alan then shared an anecdote in which he went on a trip to Sri Lanka with two couples while single, joking that paying to stay alone while on the holiday was like paying ‘an ugly tax’.

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Alan’s reps for comment.

I’m A Celebrity 2023 is officially underway, but two stars are joining the camp as latecomers, and they’ve finally been unveiled.

Nigel Farage and This Morning’s Josie Gibson have joined Jamie Lynn Spears and Marvin Humes on the reality programme, with the former Ukip leader reportedly becoming the highest-paid contestant on the show ever.

First Dates’ Fred Sirieix and EastEnders actress Danielle Harold are also be taking on Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly’s bushtucker trials.

Last year, comedian Seann Walsh and former health secretary Matt Hancock provided quite the shock when they arrived in the jungle after the celebrities had already begun filming.

And now two sports stars that were rumoured to be heading into the jungle have announced, as this year’s latecomers.

Who are the I’m A Celeb 2023 latecomers?

World-famous jockey Frankie Dettori and former pro boxer Tony Bellew are doing are heading into the jungle.

Frankie, 52, previously confirmed he had jetted off to Australia, after rumours he was in ‘advanced talks’ to star on the show.

The Italian jockey, who announced his retirement late last year but made a recent U-turn, said in a video montage: ‘My strength as a person, I am a fighter, I won’t lie to you, I can be quite moody sometimes when I lose so I don’t know what kind of Frankie is going to come out.’

‘I’ve been racing for 36 years in front of thousands of people, but this is my biggest challenge,’ the 52-year-old added.

Meanwhile 40-year-old Tony said he is going into the jungle ‘because it’s a challenge, and guess what, I love a challenge’.

‘I’m a serial winner, I hate to lose, I am not going to give in. I’ve faced many different things in my life now and the jungle is next, let’s see what you’ve got for me,’ he added.

At the end of Wednesday’s episode, co-host Anthony McPartlin said: ‘There are more surprises on the way because at the end of the trial the celebrities will be split into two teams of five.’

While Declan Donnelly said: ‘Over the next couple of days those teams will be going head to head in trials and challenges and those trials will take place in a special area known as the Scarena.’

A source had previously told The Sun: ‘Frankie is a superstar signing for jungle casting producers as he is a legend in the horse racing world and would be reality TV gold.

‘He might be pint-sized, but his personality is larger than life and he has real charm and a sense of humour.

‘Frankie would be brilliant in the Bushtucker Trials too as being competitive is second nature to him. He’s got a wealth of stories he could tell around the campfire too to keep other campmates entertained.’

Meanwhile, Tony – who has previously starred on Celebrity SAS – was one of the first names reported for this year’s I’m A Celebrity.

Katie Price’s ex Danny Cipriani was also rumoured to be heading into the jungle, as well as The Apprentice’s Thomas Skinner, and Denise Van Outen.

This comes after filming was reportedly thrown into chaos after Coronation Street star Alan Halsall was forced to pull out of the series after undergoing knee surgery.

A source said: ‘It’s a big blow, but there’s no way he can go to Australia – his surgeon would have a fit. 

‘Alan needs to recover fully and then maybe he can take part next year.’

The insider continued to The Mirror: ’It’s a massive shame because everyone was really looking forward to having him on the show, but these things happen.’

I’m A Celebrity starts on Sunday, November 19 at 9pm on ITV2.

Hollywood star Jamie Foxx has been accused of sexual assault.

It is said to have occurred while at a New York rooftop bar eight years ago.

The lawsuit alleges in the summer of 2015, White House Down actor Foxx, 55, made comments such as ‘Wow, you have that super model body’ while at Catch NYC and rooftop, before later grabbing the woman by the arm and pulling her to the ‘secluded’ back of the rooftop.

It is here where it is alleged there was ‘heinous touching and sexual assault’ which has resulted in ‘severe emotional distress and anxiety’ as well as post-traumatic stress disorder for the woman.

The lawsuit, filed at the New York Supreme Court, alleges that Oscar-winner Foxx – real name Eric Bishop – was ‘operating through his position as a well-known celebrity’.

The woman, identified only as Jane Doe in court documents, is also suing Catch NYC and rooftop and it’s owner Mark Birnbaum, alleging they were ‘negligent’ and ‘failed to use reasonable care to prevent the acts described’ in the lawsuit.

It comes as the New York Adult Survivors Act is set to expire on Thursday, a law passed last year which allows a temporary window for those who allege sexual assault to file past the state’s normal deadlines.

Earlier this year, the Oscar-winning actor revealed he suffered a medical emergency, and spent several weeks in hospital due to a mystery illness.

He later explained how he could have died if it weren’t for the fast actions of his sister who saved him, before telling fans:  ‘You’re lookin at a man who is thankful… finally startin to feel like myself… it’s been an unexpected dark journey… but I can see the light.’ 

Upon his return to social media in July, the actor was forced to shut down the conspiracy theories about his mystery illness, including that he had been cloned during his time away from the public eye. 

However, it’s not been an entirely smooth return as Jamie recently faced accusations of antisemitism after an Instagram post he shared about ‘fake friends’ and ‘fake love’, writing: ‘They killed this dude name Jesus… what do you think they’ll do to you?’ 

He later apologised while Friends actress Jennifer Aniston was dragged into the controversy when she reportedly ‘liked’ the post, which has since been deleted.

Metro.co.uk has approached reps for Jamie Foxx for comment.

Scream star Melissa Barrera has issued a statement following her exit from the horror franchise.

The actress, 33, starred in Scream (2022) and Scream VI (2023) as Sam Carpenter – but won’t be returning for the next instalment titled Scream 7.

She was fired from the upcoming sequel over social media posts she made about Israel’s war with Hamas.

Although she has not directly commented on the reports, she did release a statement.

‘First and foremost I condemn Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. I condemn hate and prejudice of any kind against any group of people,’ she wrote on Instagram stories.

‘As a Latina, a proud Mexicana, I feel the responsibility of having a platform that allows me the privilege of being heard, and therefore I have tried to use it to raise awareness about issues I care about and to lend my voice to those in need.’

The statement continued: ‘Every person on the earth – regardless of religion, race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation or socio-economic status – deserves equal human rights, dignity, and, of course, freedom.

‘I believe a group of people are NOT their leadership and no governing body should be above criticism.

‘I pray day and night for no more deaths, for no more violence, and for peaceful co-existence. I will continue to speak out for those that need it most and continue to advocate for peace and safety, for human rights and freedom.

‘Silence is not an option for me,’ she concluded.

Earlier this month, Melissa reshared a post from another Instagram user, which said ‘If you’re wondering how the world watched when genocides and ethnic cleansings happened… this is how.’

In a post to her page last month, she said she came from a colonised country, posting a Mexican flag, and said ‘Palestine will be free.’

In another post written by herself, she wrote ‘Just like all Palestinians are NOT Hamas, All Jewish people are NOT the Israeli Govt. Do not blame, or hate on, a whole group of people because of what some are doing.’

The actress, who has also starred in the blockbuster musical In The Heights and Netflix’s Keep Breathing, also said: ‘Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp. Cornering everyone together, with nowhere to go, no electricity no water … People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.’

A spokesperson for Scream production company Spyglass said that the studio interpreted Melissa’s comments to be antisemitic, stating to Variety: ‘Spyglass’ stance is unequivocally clear: We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech.’

Melissa rose to prominence with her lead role in the reboot of Scream, becoming the new face of the franchise with Neve Campbell – who played protagonist Sidney Prescott – taking a backseat in 2022’s Scream before bowing out completely for Scream 7.

Scream 7’s director Christopher Landon is also reported to have tweeted and deleted: ‘Everything sucks. Stop yelling. This was not my decision to make.’

It is claimed that Jenna Ortega has quit the Scream franchise, but her exit is reportedly due to scheduling conflicts.

The outlet claims the script for Scream 7 is not yet ready and Jenna, 21, whose exit was reportedly discussed before the actor’s strike, is preparing to shoot the second season of Wednesday in April.

The war between Israel and Hamas continues to rage in Gaza after Israel responded to the October 7 attacks.

The tensions have escalated amid retaliatory attacks, with the Gaza media office reporting that the Palestinian death toll has reached 14,532.

North West couldn’t quite keep her opinions to herself and slated mom Kim Kardashian’s ex-boyfriend, Pete Davidson, admitting she hated his fashion choices.

The Skims designer previously dated the Saturday Night Live comedian, 30, for around nine months, before they called time on their romance last July.

In that time, the Bupkis actor got tattoos dedicated to his then-girlfriend and her children, North, Saint, Chicago and Psalm – who she shares with ex-husband, Kanye West – as well as branding the 43-year-old’s name onto his chest.

In the latest episode of the Kardashians, the famous family were seen making their annual appearance at the Met Gala, while North, who joined her mom on her journey to the venue, raced back to their hotel to watch the glamour unfold.

As stars lined up to walk the red carpet, the 10-year-old proved she was one of us, scoffing popcorn and watching on TV, judging every single outfit that appeared on camera – without hesitating to share her true feelings on Pete’s look.

When he hit the carpet, North complained: ‘Hate it. You’re going to the Met Gala, Pete. Not the gas station.’

She clearly knew her stuff, and called out one Gala-goer, begging them to ‘stop copying my mom with those pearls’.

‘What the heck is he wearing? You want to want to stand out and everything, but blue?!,’ she criticized of another man, while declaring aunts Kendall and Kylie Jenner among her favorites of the night.

Penelope also got in on the action, branding Jared Leto’s Choupette cat costume ‘kind of cringe’.

Ouch.

Kim was unfussed by her eldest daughter’s comments and insisted that the criticisms weren’t that deep, comparing her to late Fashion Police host Joan Rivers.

‘All North wants to do is rate people’s outfits. She loves to critique, North is like the new Joan Rivers, if you ask me,’ she said in a confessional.

‘You can’t really take it seriously getting roasted by a 10-year-old. I never do, but it stings a little.’

However, she swiftly changed her tune when it emerged that North told Kendall what her mom really thought of her outfit, after Kim praised it to the model’s face.

‘By the way, North, you need to have some loyalty,’ she fumed after arriving home from the bash. ‘When mommy talks s**t about people, you cannot go tell them.

‘Why would you tell auntie Kendall I hated her outfit?’

When North stood her ground and argued that Kim wasn’t a fan of the look, she said: ‘Still, there’s a thing about honesty and there’s a thing about loyalty of having your momma’s back.’

‘Well, you never told me to not tell. I always don’t tell when you to not tell,’ the youngster hit back.

Unpacking the situation to Kylie in an on-camera interview, Kendall admitted that she was ‘taken aback’ by her sister’s fibs.

Kim attempted to share her side of the story, explaining: ‘Kendall sent us two options, saying, “Which one should I wear, this black-and-white one, or this all-white one?” I said, “Wow, I liked the white one better”. And shady little North tells her that?

‘North definitely has a few things to still learn, but she has the biggest heart.’

We need North to get her very own show where she gives her honest thoughts on her family and their dress sense…

The Kardashians airs on Hulu in the US and is available to stream on Disney+ in the UK.

A good haul
This Black Friday is proving pretty good for me. Although there’s always that awkward moment where you’re not sure whether to get a game now, while it’s still in stock, or wait until the actual Friday in case there’s something even better. Since nothing much has changed in the last few days I’m going to assume that we’ve seen pretty much everything now, bar maybe a few more console bundles.

I’ve used the opportunity to stock up on top-rated games from earlier in the year, so I’ve got Resident Evil 4, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, Street Fighter 6, and Metroid Prime Remastered. I’m only upset that there’s no physical version of Baldur’s Gate 3 or I bet I could’ve got that cheap too.

They all had similar discounts, so it’s hard for me to say what the best deal is so far, but since Resident Evil 4 is the only one I’ve played so far, and it’s great, I’ll say that one. If I didn’t have one already, I’d say all these deals for a PlayStation 5 for £360 are the actual best though. Just think how far we’ve come from when they were being scalped for £1,000!

Knights of P
Considering the length of time games take to make we’re obviously not going to see the Star Wars: Knights Of The Old Republic remake for four or five years. Or more likely we’ll never see it, because it sounds like the whole thing is already cursed.

If I was Lucasfilm I would just give up on the idea and commission a new game from someone that knows how to make action role-playing games. BioWare are too busy right now and Obsidian are owned by Microsoft but what about someone like the Lies Of P team?

I liked the game but it’s hard to get Bloodborne out of your mind while playing it. They’ve clearly got talent so I’d like to see them given a chance with some else and kind of forced to stop copying From. Lucasfilm should think more out of the box. Star Wars is popular everywhere, not just America, so why not ask Capcom or Koei Tecmo?

Stop messing around with third rate developers and concentrate on quality. You can get whoever to write the story but the game itself has to be good.
Penfold

Zelda Cinematic Universe
I think the animation in that Zelda animation thing is a bit too choppy but the general idea is good and I’d certainly be interested in an Ocarina Of Time remake that looked roughly like that. I agree it’s the obvious way to continue the old formula and something that people would actually want, without being a cash grab.

I’d actually go a bit further though and take a Final Fantasy 7 Remake approach where the stories are changed and everything starts to connect a bit more. The Zelda timelines exist but they’re something only hardcore fans know about.

Why not address them in a game and have them combine into one? Then you could revisit each of the games, remake them, and add in connections to make them all seem more like part of an ongoing story. The only question is how you handle the 2D games, as making them 3D may undermine may undermine the actual 3D games. Link’s Awakening worked out well though so that’s probably the approach to take.

Kart blanche
Bit late to the party on this (catching up on the Inbox) but in response to Garry’s question on the next best Mario Kart after 8, my absolute favourite and contender for best in series is the one title he failed to mention: Mario Kart: Super Circuit. I think Nintendo got the course design, size of characters and karts in relation to the courses, and playability spot on with this iteration.

I’ve always thought Mario Kart 64 as one of the weakest in the series, as the courses were so big and wide compared to the size of the karts – you could be driving on your own for long stretches without jostling with another kart, it just seemed more sedate and less frantic. This was never an issue with the SNES original, and Super Circuit was even more perfect. So that gets my vote.

The king of all kart racers however was Street Racer. Oh, how I have longed for a remaster or re-release of some kind. In the next Mario Kart you should be able to bash your opponents off the track using the L and R buttons.

GC: Well… that letter sure had a twist ending.

Rolling start
I bought Like A Dragon Gaiden recently, mainly because of Daytona USA 2. I’ve wanted to play this at home since playing it in the arcade on holiday many years ago. Anyway, this is a bit nostalgic too, like writing into magazines with cheats. I don’t know if it’s common knowledge that if you hold Start while selecting the track you will get the track mirrored. And if you hold brake while selecting the car you can drive the track in reverse. You can do mirror and reverse at the same time too!

There is also the timed lap mode (the game actually tells you how to access this) if you hold Start while selecting the transmission. All of these add quite a bit of variety to the original tracks.

Now let me get back to playing the advanced track, I can’t get enough of it, the music and the sheer imagination in the track design, there’s nothing else quite like it.

Enough for now
RE: Focus and Alan Wake 2 being discounted on PC already. Alan Wake 2 is an Epic Games store PC exclusive, as Epic funded the game’s development and marketing. They have a Black Friday 33% off coupon that applies to anything over £15 and runs to the 28th of November. That’s why Alan Wake 2 is £27 on PC and not because its’s been specifically discounted due to underperforming.

Didn’t personally find any massive bargains in the sales myself but did pick up some games. As the PlayStation Store sale didn’t have anything I really craved I decided to support a couple of newly released indie games, that I’ve been highly anticipating, in Teardown and walking sim The Invincible.

Over on Switch a couple of games on my Wishlist had modest 30% discounts, so added them in Zelda: Link’s Awakening and The Case Of The Golden Idol with the DLC packs.

Having also picked Super Mario Bros. Wonder and also picked up and platinumed Alan Wake 2, which reflecting on I did really enjoy bar the combat, I intend to not pay attention to new releases for sometime.

One gen or another
After loading up GTA 5 on Game Pass I noticed it was the Xbox One version, then remembered it was actually on an Xbox 360 I originally played it.

With the level of detail and graphics Rockstar will obviously put into GTA 6 I predict a 30fps lock on console, with a beefy GPU to power it on PC. Perhaps I’ll wait till it re-releases in a generation or two.
Phil

Take a guess
I think most gamers tune into The Game Awards for the announcements and trailers. I can’t imagine many gamers really care what game wins. The following are my predictions:

If Nintendo don’t announce Switch 2, I think they may provide a date for the big reveal. Maybe even a montage (vertical slices) of what to expect from their next gen console.

We know Baldur’s Gate 3 will be announced for Xbox at the show. I strongly suspect it will drop into Game Pass during the show.

Harrison Ford might make an appearance on stage to introduce first gameplay of MachineGames’ Indiana Jones game for Xbox/PC. We usually get at least one big celebrity at the show, so Harrison is a solid bet if Indiana Jones is featured.

Hellblade 2 combat. The game has popped up at The Game Awards a number of times before, so it makes sense it will be there again, along with a release date.

The Last Of Us Factions. There’s been lots of rumours about it being on ice. But if it isn’t, it would be the perfect opportunity to at least provide a teaser and reassure fans.

Finally, GTA 6. Will it be shown at The Game Awards? Rockstar don’t really need the event to get a large audience, so I’m 50/50 on this one. I’m inclined to think Rockstar will do their own thing, but I’ll be happy to be proven wrong.

Will GC be doing a predictions article? I’m curious what others think may or may not make an appearance.
Anon

GC: We’ll probably do a preview feature but there’s not really much to go on for most of the predictions, beyond a flip of the coin.

Why oh why did you mention at the end of your Flashback 2 review that the original’s 31 years old? You made me feel like an old man.

I’m A Celebrity’s Nella Rose challenged the jungle’s most controversial campmate Nigel Farage over his anti-immigration stance.

The former politician and UKIP leader’s inclusion in the ITV reality show has sparked huge backlash, with a campaign launched to have him booted from the series over his divisive politics.

Presenters Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly made a savage dig about Farage, 59, moments into the new series, while Josie Gibson also mocked his Brexit campaign.

Now, YouTuber Nella, who has also locked horns with Fred Sirieix, has confronted the GB News host, over his right-wing immigration policies.

Farage was a key player in Brexit, including his party releasing an anti-immigrant poster that suggested that immigration was at ‘Breaking Point’ as part of the Leave campaign in 2016.

The Leave campaign won and Brexit was eventually passed (though Northern Ireland is still without a government over DUP complaints about the sea border), and on Sunday night Josie mocked Farage over his role in the campaign.

Asking Farage if he was anti-immigrant, the 26-year-old continued: ‘So everyone hates you for no reason? Not that everyone hates you, that was so bad. Sorry.’

He responded: ‘You can disagree with somebody, but to chuck around accusations the way they’ve been chucked around is grossly unfair.

‘Anti-immigrant, right? No, no, all I’ve said is we cannot go on with the numbers coming to Britain that are coming.’

Nella continued: ‘I’m one of the numbers?”

Farage replied: ‘So that’s it then, should it be 5million a year, 10million… you don’t seem to understand.’

Tackling him head-on, Nella said: ‘Those immigrants that are coming in, I came in.’

Nella then asked Farage what was ‘so wrong’ about immigrants, pointing out that they are a ‘good thing’ and have contributed massively to British society.

Farage claimed: ‘Good thing, unless you want a GP appointment…’

Putting him in his place, she continued: ‘I’m stopping you getting a GP appointment? You’re not getting an appointment because the NHS is lacking funding.

‘I bet you anything if every single immigrant or from immigrant descent was to leave the UK, all your doctors, go… most of your doctors are Asian right? Most of your nurses are African women, right?

‘You want us gone, that’s all I understood.’

While Farage protested, the pair eventually decided to ‘agree to disagree.’

Nella concluded that she ‘really liked’ Farage in the jungle and wanted to get to the bottom of why he was universally hated.

She added: ‘We don’t have to come to a common ground. You probably like a lot of things that I don’t like. And I probably like a lot of things that you don’t like…we can have these conversations.’

As well as viewers, celebrities have slammed Farage’s casting in I’m A Celebrity, with Lorraine Kelly saying on her chat show she ‘personally thinks it is wrong’ for him to be in the jungle.

‘I think it’s very bizarre,’ she added and predicted – correctly – that he’d rule himself out of certain trials for health reasons.

Jason Manford also announced his decision to boycott the series again after giving it a miss last year due to Hancock’s inclusion.

So far, this season has suffered from a slump in viewing figures, with the opening episode pulling in an average of 7 million, compared to the 9.1 million who tuned in for the show’s launch last year.

Nella, meanwhile rowed with First Dates’ Fred when he said he could be her dad because of their ages, as he is 51 and she is 26 – but Nella, who lost both her mum and her dad at a young age, was massively hurt by the comment.

While he later profusely apologised, Nella was having none of it, telling him: ‘you’re not going to little girl me.’

I’m A Celebrity continues tomorrow on ITV and ITVX at 9pm.

Every couple bickers but in a bizarre twist Hollywood favourites Jennifer Lopez and husband Ben Affleck are apparently locked in an argument over poo.

Jennifer and Ben were recently living it up at a lavish gala alongside Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan, grinning at each other the whole night.

However, reportedly behind closed doors the Bennifer household have been at odds over poo, yes really, as their household is like a zoo.

After rekindling their love in 2021, the pair moved into a lavish mansion together where they raise their blended family and many, many pets.

On top of five teenagers in the home, the 54-year-old actress has adopted eight dogs and a cat to join them with Ben apparently failing to pick up the slack.

‘It’s a complete zoo at their house. Jen swears she’s the only one who ever deals with their mess – she’s always nagging Ben to help out more and to at least pick up their poop,’ an insider told Heat.

We’re hoping the aforementioned poop isn’t actually inside the house but with so many pets around you can never be too sure.

The source continued: ‘His answer has been to hire a company to pick up the mess for them, which really bugs Jen, because he’s more than capable of doing for it himself, so in her view, he’s just being lazy.’

Apparently the Gone Girl actor just doesn’t get it and doesn’t like being told what to do, while the Jenny From The Block hitmaker can’t understand that.

The outlet reports that a Poop 911 van is often seen outside the home, a service which you can hire to pick up your pet’s messes for you – what a job.

Despite his slightly slack approach to household chores, the pets are said to adore Ben, flocking to him when he arrives home.

The insider said he gets the benefits without putting in the work, which frustrates the Maid in Manhattan actress to no end, leading to passive-aggressive jokes.

‘Jennifer is confrontational, but Ben’s style is to do these micro-aggressions and get under her skin that way. It’s pretty childish and not very health,’ they added.

If the pair are having a few disagreements at home they certainly aren’t showing it publicly, they were all smiles at recent public appearances.

JLo even defended her man from adoring fans, shouting ‘back off’ to women fawning over the Batman star during their date night.

The pair reconnected two years ago after originally dating in the early 00s, meeting on the set of romcom Gigi in 2001.

Ben proposed to his co-star in 2002, postponing the wedding before going their separate ways just two years later.

They went on to have other long-term and high profile relationships before fate brought them back together two years ago.

In their blended house hold Jennifer has her 15-year-old twins, Max and Emme, from her marriage to Marc Anthony, while Ben shares Violet, 17, Seraphina, 13, and Samuel, 11, with ex Jennifer Garner.

Metro has reached out to Ben and Jennifer’s representatives for comment.

MORE : I’m A Celebrity’s Nella Rose seriously considers quitting after explosive row

Guns ‘N’ Roses rocker Axl Rose has been accused of assault and battery by a model and actress, which he has denied.

Sheila Kennedy sued the 61-year-old for an encounter in a New York City hotel in 1989, claiming he ‘targeted’ her.

According to the complaint, obtained by People, he used his celebrity status to ‘manipulate, control and violently sexually assault’ the now 61-year-old model.

They met at a nightclub, with Kennedy stating in the court document that she was not ‘aware’ of who Rose was at the time and had been invited out by her friend.

Kennedy and Rose left the club with his entourage and headed for his hotel suite, where it is claimed he ‘pushed Kennedy against the wall and kissed her.’

She adds that she did not mind this as she was open to sleeping with him but became ‘uncomfortable’ as he began to encourage group sex.

A lawyer for Rose has denied the claims, stating: ‘Simply put, this incident never happened. Notably, these fictional claims were filed the day before the New York State filing deadline expires.

‘Though he doesn’t deny the possibility of a fan photo taken in passing, Mr. Rose has no recollection of ever meeting or speaking to the Plaintiff, and has never heard about these fictional allegations prior to today. Mr. Rose is confident this case will be resolved in his favour.’

In the complaint, Kennedy added that Rose had initiated sex with another model in front of her so she left the room and heard the Sweet Child O’ Mine hitmaker screaming obscenities at the other woman.

She also claims he threw glass at the other model before finding Kennedy, knocking her to the floor, and ‘grabbing her by the hair and dragging her’ back into his room.

The ‘very painful’ encounter left her with bloodied knees as Rose tied her hands behind her back and ‘forcibly penetrated Kennedy’s anus with his penis’.

‘He treated her like property used solely for his sexual pleasure,’ the complaint continued. ‘Kennedy did not consent and felt overpowered. She felt she had no escape or exit and was compelled to acquiesce.

‘She believed Rose would physically attack her, or worse, if she said no or attempted to push him away. She understood that the safest thing to do was to lie in bed and wait for Rose to finish assaulting her.’

The allegations were filed on Wednesday, one day before the expiration of the N.Y. Adult Survivors Act – legislation which gave adult sex assault survivors a one-year window to sue their abusers regardless of when the abuse occured.

Kennedy has written about this encounter before in her 2016 memoir, No One’s Pet, stating she was ‘crying and bleeding’ as he assaulted her.

At the time she wrote: ‘[There are] a lot of people out there who want to see him burn in hell. I don’t feel that way about him, but I do feel in a way that he got everything he deserved.’

Metro has reached out to Rose’s representatives for comment.

Paddy McGuinness has addressed Top Gear being put to ‘rest’ by the BBC for the first time following Freddie Flintoff’s horror crash.

The Phoenix Nights star, 50, co-presented the BBC motoring series with Freddie and automotive journalist Chris Harris.

Sharing pictures of the trio behind the scenes on Instagram, he wrote: ‘We were always going to be b***ends but we were your b***ends.

‘Thanks for all the love over the years folks, it was very much appreciated. #TopGear.’

On Tuesday, the broadcaster said to PA in a statement it had ‘decided to rest the UK show for the foreseeable future.’

Teasing future projects with the presenters, the corporation added: ‘The BBC remains committed to Freddie, Chris and Paddy who have been at the heart of the show’s renaissance since 2019, and we’re excited about new projects being developed with each of them.

‘We will have more to say in the near future on this. We know resting the show will be disappointing news for fans, but it is the right thing to do.’

Former Top Gear James May who fronted the show alongside Jeremy Clarkson and Richard Hammond until 2015, has since expressed his devastation at the news, saying it will be a ‘shame’ if the BBC does not give Top Gear a ‘rethink’.

Production of the show has been halted since former England cricket captain Freddie, 45, was taken to hospital in December 2022 after he was injured in an accident at the Top Gear test track at Dunsfold Aerodrome in Surrey.

Following the crash, the BBC announced that it would pause production on the show as it was felt it would be ‘inappropriate’, adding there would be a health and safety review.

In addition, BBC Studios said a health and safety production review of Top Gear, which did not cover the accident but instead looked at previous seasons, found that ‘while BBC Studios had complied with the required BBC policies and industry best practice in making the show, there were important learnings which would need to be rigorously applied to future Top Gear UK productions.’

A statement added: ‘The report includes a number of recommendations to improve approaches to safety as Top Gear is a complex programme-making environment routinely navigating tight filming schedules and ambitious editorial expectations – challenges often experienced by long-running shows with an established on and off screen team.

‘Learnings included a detailed action plan involving changes in the ways of working, such as increased clarity on roles and responsibilities and better communication between teams for any future Top Gear production.’

There was a separate investigation into Freddie’s crash which was concluded in March of this year and those findings will not be published.

Last month, it was reported that he had agreed to a seven-figure sum of £9million compensation from the BBC, with a spokesperson from BBC Studios saying: ‘BBC Studios has reached an agreement with Freddie that we believe supports his continued rehabilitation, return to work and future plans.’

In September, father-of-four Freddie was photographed for the first time in public since the crash and had visible facial injuries as he joined up with the England cricket squad for their one-day international series against New Zealand.

Shortly afterwards, he spoke publicly for the first time, making a heartwarming speech in which he said: ‘Play with passion, play with pride, play with belief. And also part of a family of people. They’ll share the good times with you, share the successes.

‘But as I found over the past few months, they’ll be there for you in the hardest times of your life.’

The accident was not the first faced by the sporting legend since he began working on the show.

In February 2019 the presenter was involved in a minor incident when he crashed into a market stall in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire.

Freddie and Paddy made their debut as Top Gear hosts in June 2019, while Chris started two years prior.

Top Gear is available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

Gerry Turner has lifted the lid on the selection process for the Bachelor, confessing that it involved a lot of ‘firsts’.

The 72-year-old was unveiled as the inaugural Golden Bachelor, becoming the first ever senior citizen to search for love on the show.

Viewers have been gripped by his attempts to settle down, and new episodes have reportedly set records for ABC and Hulu.

During an appearance on Justin Long’s Life Is Short podcast, he shed light on how he managed to nab the coveted role, revealing the awkward moment he was asked to take his very first STD test.

‘I was in Florida, February of this year,’ he told the host. ‘I was actually traveling with an old girlfriend, we were just friends.

‘I got a call from ABC wanting me to initiate the process, to go get a STD test.’

‘That’s a little bit of a tender moment,’ he recalled as Justin laughed.

‘As I recall, that may have been my very first ever STD test. I had no idea what was going to happen.

‘I didn’t know if they were going to look in the iris of my eye, take a urine sample, a blood sample. I had no idea.’

Before taking part in the Golden Bachelor, Gerry was married to his late wife, Toni, for nearly 50 years – but she sadly died in 2017.

He explained that his holiday companion was fully aware that he was in the running, as the process had actually started more than three years ago – and was briefly paused due to the global pandemic.

As well as making sure he was free of STDs, the retired restauranter had to go through fingerprint testing and a lengthy psychological evaluation before getting in front of the camera.

‘There were clinical tests like that,’ he continued. ‘I had to send my fingerprints to the FBI, there were numerous background tests. There was a psychological evaluation that was like 360 questions and then another hour of interview.

‘The vetting process is ridiculously thorough.’

Gerry made it through relatively unscathed, and has since built up connections with a string of women.

In next week’s finale, he will be picking between Leslie Fhima and Theresa Nist – and previously admitted that he found himself in an ‘incredibly bad situation’ trying to make his choice.

‘I’m down to two people and realize that one of those two has to go home,’ he told Entertainment Tonight of the last stage. ‘When you’re down to the last two people over that amount of time and that much investment, you really have strong feelings for them even though you know they’re not the right person. They are so close to it.

‘You’re connected so deeply and then you realize they have to leave. Oh my God, it was an incredibly bad situation.’

‘You have to be genuine but you get in a moment when it’s almost as if you fall in love with the concept of being in love.

‘And it’s like, yeah, I want to be there. And the excitement and the glamour of a moment and all the energy, all of a sudden you feel it. And then the next day, when you sort it out, you go, “Oh geez, that wasn’t the authentic feeling that I was looking for.”’

The Golden Bachelor finale airs on November 30 at 8pm ET on ABC.

MORE : I’m A Celebrity’s Nella Rose seriously considers quitting after explosive row

MORE : Girls Aloud announce mammoth arena tour in honour of late bandmate Sarah Harding

I’m A Celebrity star Nella Rose is contemplating leaving the jungle after her heated clash with Fred Siriex.

YouTuber Nella told in the Bush Telegraph that when she’s left feeling ‘uncomfortable’ she tends to walk away from the situation.

Her confession comes after the social media star was left upset after First Dates’ Fred made a comment that he could be her dad due to their respective ages as she is 51 and she is 26.

Nella was upset because she lost both her mum and her dad at a young age and called Fred’s remarks ‘disrespectful.’

On Wednesday’s episode of the ITV show, she explained: ‘Whenever I feel uncomfortable, whenever I feel sad I do tend to leave. I do tend to not carry things through if I feel uncomfortable. So the fact I’ve lasted in the jungle for this long is astonishing.’

Nella also confided in fellow campmate, food critic Grace Dent, 50, that had Jamie Lynn Spears quit, as she threatened after having a meltdown over a mini-challenge, she would have followed in her footsteps.

‘If Jamie left yesterday I would have been right behind her… I’m leaving. I just don’t want to be the first,’ she admitted.

During the heart-to-heart with the journalist, Nella explained she had never in her life followed through with anything.

She continued: ‘I’ve never, ever in my life started something and finished it. Ever. I always quit, or I always sign on short term or if I don’t like it I can leave… this is the one thing I said I’m going to try and stick it through but I can already see myself… if I get in my head too much…’

Grace probed: ‘Do you bolt, you run the minute things start to pick up?

Nella said: ‘When I was younger I was put in a lot of situations that I had no control over. I was sad and miserable.

‘So now that I have the control over my happiness and the things I want to do I think I’m kind of, I’ve become obsessed with it: “Oh, you don’t have to do this if you don’t want to”.’

She added: ‘I used to have so much discipline but that was when I was in a bad space. Lack of self discipline got me from a size 12 to a size 20.

‘Literally my dad passed, I locked myself in the house for two months, I drank every single day and ate every single day and I gained it all and it was pandemic.’

After her upset with Fred, Nella explained in the Bush Telegraph that he had made the joke after she had opened up to him ‘about the fact my dad’s passed away’.

‘I didn’t say anything about it last night because I was kind of just annoyed about it. So I slept on it… and I was just like, this is not the kind of person I want to be around,’ she said.

Fred didn’t realise the faux pas until the next morning, where he began calling to her to ask if she wanted food and she repeatedly ignored him, until she told him ‘leave me alone.’

Bewildered, the TV star asked what he’d done wrong, with Nella hitting out: ‘You know that my mum’s dead, and you know that my dad’s dead. You know that, right? I’ve come to find out that every time I wanna get creative around the fire, or I want to have something my way, my own food that I am entitled to, my way, you tend to get an attitude, right?’

She said he had an ‘attitude’ about the fact he told her, ‘You know I could be your dad, right?’

‘I don’t care how you said it to me, it’s disrespectful and I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to be around you,’ Nella said. ‘I only allow people to disrespect me once. You hurt my feelings. I was very upset… you keep trying to speak to me when I don’t want to speak to you.

‘I would rather stay away from you, I don’t want to eat your food, I don’t want to talk to you. We can just live, you live on that side, I live on this side.’

Fred apologised profusely, insisting he didn’t know he offended her with the comment and ‘only said that because I am older than you, I am 51 and you’re 26.’

He added: ‘I made a mistake and I said something and I offended you, I’m really sorry. I’m really sorry you feel like this.’

Nella was having none of it, saying ‘you’re not going to little girl me.’

She said she would accept his apology but ‘I don’t want to eat no food that you’re cooking, don’t talk to me, you stay over there, I stay over here and we can live.’

Following the row, a post was shared on Fred’s Instagram Story, which was reshared by his partner on her own.

The caption reshared by his partner, who goes by the handle ‘@fruitcake_fundamentals’ on the social media platform, read: ‘Tough watch for some of the show tonight but Fred did us so proud – we know his intention would never be to upset anyone. Keep your head up Fred – we love you.’

Nella’s father died in 2020, with the YouTuber sharing a photograph of them together to announce the news, writing: ‘Watching you suffer for the past month has been the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life but at least you’re not in pain anymore 🕊 💛.

‘Gonna make you the proudest dad ever in the years to come because I know you’re still by [my] side every step of the way.’

Nella has faced serious tragedy in her life, and six years ago was left homeless after mother died unexpectedly in 2017.

In a YouTube video on her past, the star said: ‘She died in my arms. It is the worst thing that has ever happened to me in my life.

‘I was planning on using my student loan and my little YouTube money to pay the rent and bills. But then my brother and I got a letter telling us we had 30 days to move out. So I’m in my second year of uni, I’m dealing with my mum’s death and now we’re homeless.’

She had come to the UK from Belgium with her mother and brother when she was seven years old.

I’m A Celebrity continues on ITV and ITVX tomorrow at 9pm.

Next year’s Call Of Duty will be set during the 1990s, with developer Treyarch having much longer to work on it than any previous game.

Most Call Of Duty games leak out months or even years before they’re officially announced and we’ve known since July that next year’s entry is another Black Ops game by developer Treyarch.

Not only is that an easy guess, because we haven’t had a new one since 2020, but the rumours first started thanks to a couple of images accidentally leaked by Activision themselves.

Now a new source suggests that the game will ‘attempt to explore a nuanced narrative of the Gulf War.’ However, the best news is that the game has been ‘long in development’ – so hopefully it won’t just be dressed-up DLC, like this year’s Modern Warfare 3.

It’s unclear what the name of the game is, with Windows Central hesitantly describing it as Black Ops 6. However, since the last game was called Black Ops Cold War it seems very likely the new one will simply be called Black Ops Gulf War, which was already suggested in previous rumours.

Supposedly, the game’s story campaign will place, ‘a critical focus on different participants within the conflict. It will dovetail into the end of the Cold War era and explore some of the consequences therein.’

Previous rumours suggested that former SAS Major Peter Ratcliffe, writer of the book The Eye of the Storm, will be one of the main characters. The leaked images showed a F-117 stealth fighter and what appeared to be Saddam Hussein’s palace. Knowing how Call Of Duty story campaigns usually go, you can probably piece together the rest yourself.

There’s no new information on the multiplayer but Windows Central repeats previous rumours suggesting a number of remastered maps from previous Black Ops games will be included, such as fan favourites Grind and WMD.

A more traditional Zombies mode is expected, that will be round-based rather than this year’s open world affair – which isn’t surprising as developer Treyarch were the original creators of Zombies mode.

Perhaps the most surprising new information is that the game will feature a ‘large pre-order early access bonus’, allowing you to play the whole game several days early and some modes weeks before the official release date.

Modern Warfare 3 already did this, allowing those who pre-ordered to play the story campaign – the most heavily criticised aspect of the game – a week before anyone else.

The longer development time will hopefully ensure a higher quality game than this year, as it becomes the first entry in the franchise to be published since Microsoft bought Activision Blizzard and Sony’s marketing deal for the game expired.

That’s not expected to make any significant difference though, with Microsoft insisting there’ll be no exclusive content or early betas, but it will likely be the first time any of the series is available on Game Pass from day one.

The iconic girl group has been teasing a big announcement for the past week and fans can finally scream for joy as Girls Aloud are going on tour.

After teasing with tiny countdown clips, it’s official – Nadine Coyle, 38, Kimberley Walsh, 41, Nicola Roberts, 38, and Cheryl, 40, are reuniting.

Rising to the tops of the charts, and our hearts, in the early 00s, fans have been impatiently waiting for the group to confirm what exactly they have up their sleeves.

Apparently, that is an entire arena tour for the UK and Ireland in May and June of next year with tickets going on sale on Friday, December 1 – we can’t wait.

Fans had been anticipating possible new music from the group who haven’t released anything in years however, it looks like for now this is not on the cards.

Sadly, the band will be missing a beloved member, Sarah Harding, who died two years ago from breast cancer.

Sarah was on all the girls minds as they excitedly announced the reunion tour, with Cheryl who teased the final hint saying: ‘We all started talking about the possibility of doing something to celebrate Girls Aloud’s 20-year anniversary a few years ago.

‘The anniversary seemed like an obvious thing that we would celebrate. But when Sarah fell ill all priorities changed. She passed away a year before the anniversary and it just didn’t feel right, it felt too soon.

‘But now, I think there is an energy that does makes it feel right. It’s the right time to celebrate Sarah, it’s the right time to celebrate the band and the right time to celebrate the fact we can still do this 21 years later.

‘That’s a big honour in lots of ways.’

Nadine added: ‘Girls Aloud are a band that made such a huge impact on people’s lives. We grew up with the band, but so did so many other people. So for us not to do something again feels like such a shame and a waste.

‘We want to have that moment with fans where we can all enjoy it together.’

Girls Aloud had a meteoric rise to stardom on ITV’s Popstars: The Rivals in 2002, storming the charts with hits like Can’t Speak French, The Show, and Love Machine.

In 2009, the group went on a hiatus before returning for their 10 year anniversary in 2012 and officially splitting the following year.

Since then the women have been pursuing solo projects but the loss of Sarah so close to their 20th anniversary came as a shock to them all.

Kimberley shared: ‘Over the last year, we’ve felt this outpouring of love – obviously towards Sarah, but actually towards all of us as a group. And I guess it’s ignited something in all of us again. It feels like something has changed and it does feel like the right time to celebrate Sarah and the 20-year anniversary that we didn’t celebrate at the time.’

Reunions over the years have been few and far between with the remaining members attending the Primrose Ball in Sarah’s honour last October.

They were then brought together once more by the wedding of publicist to the stars, Simon Jones, which thrilled fans.

Nicola, who kicked off the countdown, added: ‘I think what’s really encouraging is that whenever people ask us about reuniting it’s not, “Would you guys ever do it?” but “When are you guys gonna do it?”

‘To know we still have that love from our fans and people who watched us grow up gives us the confidence to do the tour. It will be massive celebration of everything we’ve done up to this point. We want people to leave being like, “Wow, I’ve just had one of the best nights of my life”.’

Tickets will go on pre-sale on Wednesday 29th November at 9am, with the general on sale Friday 1st December at 9am, all via girlsaloud.com.

MORE : Jenna Ortega ‘quits Scream franchise’ after co-star Melissa Barrera fired for Gaza comments

MORE : Dame Judi Dench, 88, left James Bond co-star shocked with naked FaceTime call

Jenna Ortega has quit the Scream franchise after Melissa Barrera’s shock axe, it has been claimed.

It was announced on Tuesday that Melissa, who joined the fold as Sam Carpenter in the fifth instalment, had been fired from the upcoming Scream 7 movie over her comments regarding Israel’s ongoing war with Hamas.

As director Christopher Landon admitted that it ‘wasn’t his decision to make’, furious fans threatened to boycott the sequel.

According to reports, Jenna – who has also been vocal about her support for Palestine on social media – has since walked off the project.

Deadline reports her decision was not related to the fallout from Melissa’s remarks but due to scheduling conflicts.

The outlet claims the script for Scream 7 is not yet ready and Jenna, whose exit was reportedly discussed before the actor’s strike, is preparing to shoot the second season of Wednesday in April.

Unrest has continued to grow in Palestine after Hamas launched an attack on Israel on October 7, leaving at least 1,200 people dead.

The tensions have escalated amid retaliatory attacks, with the Gazan health officials reporting that the Palestinian death toll has reached 14,532.

Many have called for a ceasefire, with some stars in Hollywood also making their voices heard.

Over the last few hours, the Israeli government approved a ceasefire deal with Hamas, bringing a temporary halt to the devastating siege.

Hamas will now begin releasing dozens of hostages being held in the Gaza Strip in exchange for Palestinians in Israeli prisons.

Melissa had been among those in Hollywood using their platforms to call for a ceasefire, and for the bloodshed to end.

In a post to her page last month, the In The Heights actress said that she came from a colonized country, posting a Mexican flag, and said ‘Palestine will be free.’

Another upload, written by herself, read: ‘Just like all Palestinians are NOT Hamas, All Jewish people are NOT the Israeli Govt. Do not blame, or hate on, a whole group of people because of what some are doing.’

‘Gaza is currently being treated like a concentration camp,’ a post read. ‘Cornering everyone together, with nowhere to go, no electricity no water.

‘People have learnt nothing from our histories. And just like our histories, people are still silently watching it all happen. THIS IS GENOCIDE & ETHNIC CLEANSING.’

On Tuesday, insiders told Deadline that Melissa had been dropped from Scream 7 over her posts regarding the conflict, though she has yet to address the news herself.

A spokesperson for Spyglass claimed that the studio interpreted her comments to be antisemitic.

They said in a statement to Variety: ‘Spyglass’ stance is unequivocally clear: We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or the incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Jenna and Paramount for a comment.

Clint Eastwood is no closer to slowing down now that he’s reached his 90s, as he is still as hard at work as ever.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly actor, 93, has been pictured in public for the first time in around two years, stepping back into the spotlight to direct his upcoming movie, Juror No. 2.

In rare snaps, the acclaimed director and actor took pride of place behind the camera in Georgia, leading a star-studded cast including Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette.

He was in total concentration mode as he gazed into a screen, donning a grey buffer jacket and trousers for the occasion.

The Hollywood icon kept his headphones firmly in place as he directed Nicholas and Tony through the shoot.

The Renfield star looked suave on set, rocking a light T-shirt with a navy blazer, coupled with tan trousers.

While Toni appeared to be in serious mode in a moss-colored dress, with a matching blazer of her own.

Juror No. 2 also stars Zoey Deutch, Kiefer Sutherland and Chris Messina, and is expected to be Clint’s last big screen offering, but we wouldn’t be surprised if he has another project or two up his sleeve.

According to reports, the film focuses on juror Justin Kemp during a murder trial, when he realizes that his reckless driving is actually to blame for the victim losing their life.

Will he be able to save the defendant from justice while also incriminating himself? We’ll have to wait and find out…

With the cameras currently capturing the action in Georgia, a release date for the final product has yet to be announced.

Clint has been involved in a string of hits over his sensational career, including Escape from Alcatraz, Sudden Impact, Dirty Harry and In The Line of Fire.

As well as this, he has also directed and produced many more projects, with titles such as True Crime, Million Dollar Baby, Letters from Iwo Jima, Gran Torino and Changeling on his CV.

However, the star left many concerned after he appeared to take a serious step back from the spotlight, and hadn’t been seen in public for nearly two years.

‘Clint has always enjoyed great health and been vital and active despite his advancing age, but the fact that he hasn’t been around as much lately has a lot of people in Hollywood worried about him,’ an insider reportedly told Radar of the fears.

‘It’s hard to imagine him in anything other than fine form but Father Time catches up to all of us.

‘People do worry about his health. He’s the director, but he’s also involved in every other aspect like the casting and he’ll likely compose the score as he’s done on his other films.’

The source also addressed suggestions that Clint was planning to retire from Hollywood for good, adding: ‘He wants to do this movie as a swan song and go out in a blazing sunset.’

Hall & Oates may have shot to the top of charts in the 70s but their relationship has soured as Daryl Hall files a lawsuit against former pop partner John Oates.

While very little is known about the dispute, Hall, 77, has requested a temporary restraining order against Oates, 75 – which a judge granted.

Court documents, held by The Nashville Chancery Court, are sealed so details are a little unclear but it seems Hall believes Oates has breached their contract.

Hall & Oates rose to fame in the 70s with hits like Rich Girl and Maneater, becoming a household name by the following decade and continuing to see chart success into the 90s.

It’s been suggested that Hall could have taken issue with Oates singing their songs while on his solo tour or a possible disagreement over royalties.

Despite never officially splitting up, the pair have been working on solo projects for many years now, with their last studio album together – a Christmas album – released in 2006.

Over the years Hall & Oates have performed their hits both together and separately on tours, including a performance in Dublin in 2014 which was released as a live album.

As recently as 2019 the embarked on a European tour and had dates stretching all the way to last year in the US.

However, things may not have been as amicable as it appeared as Hall went on Bill Maher’s Club Random podcast and appeared to disparage Oates and his position in the band.

Hall said: ‘You think John Oates is my partner? … He’s my business partner. He’s not my creative partner.’

He went on to say Oates was like a brother to him but affirmed that the duo are ‘not creative brothers’ but rather ‘business partners’.

‘We’ve always been very separate, and that’s a really important thing for me,’ the hitmaker continued before taking credit for 1980’s number 1 hit Kiss on My List.

In the discussion over the song which Oates is listed as a co-producer but not songwriter, Hall claimed: ‘I did all those [harmonies]. That’s all me.’

Metro has reached out to Hall and Oates representatives for comment.

The former president of Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Bad Boy Entertainment company has been sued over allegations of grooming and sexual assault, it has been claimed.

Just days after the rapper settled a lawsuit from ex-girlfriend Cassie, after she claimed that she was a victim of rape and violent behavior, an ex-employee has accused Harve Pierre of ‘preying’ on her on multiple occasions.

According to paperwork filed in New York County Supreme Court, obtained by Rolling Stone, Pierre is alleged to have groomed, exploited and sexually assaulted his assistant over the course of their working relationship, leading to physical, emotional and psychological injuries.

The unnamed staff member, known only as Jane Doe, claimed that he assaulted her on multiple occasions between 2016 -2017.

‘Pierre used his position of authority as plaintiff’s boss to groom, exploit, and sexually assault her,’ the documents state, via the outlet.

‘Pierre engaged in a year-long pattern of grooming plaintiff, leading to sexual harassment of plaintiff, and sexual assault.’

As well as the exec, Bad Boy Entertainment, Bad Boy Records and Combs Enterprises were reportedly listed as co-defendants, and have been accused of negligence and gender violence.

‘Defendants knew or should have known that Pierre was unfit to be in a position of authority before Pierre sexually assaulted plaintiff,’ the documents are thought to say, adding that those involved failed to ‘properly supervise’ Pierre.

A spokesperson for Bad Boy Entertainment told Metro.co.uk in a statement: ‘We have recently become aware of a lawsuit filed in New York by a former employee. The allegations are from many years ago that were never brought to the attention of the company.

‘Neither the plaintiff nor the executive are current employees of the company. We are now investigating the allegations, and our top priority is the safety and well-being of our employees.’

Rolling Stone reports that Pierre began his career at Bad Boy in 1992, before initially leaving the company in 1995.

He reportedly returned and remained until December, 2017, and his LinkedIn page states that he ‘has been part of shaping every aspect of the label’s groundbreaking success’.

Doe is seeking unspecified damages that will ‘fully and fairly compensate her’.

The lawsuit comes just one week after Cassie, real name Cassandra Ventura, filed bombshell documents against Combs, alleging that he had started a pattern of abuse and controlling behavior during their decade-long relationship.

She claimed that his behavior included ‘beating her, plying her with drugs and forcing her to have sex with male prostitutes as he filmed’.

The musician fiercely denied the allegations made against him, and settled the lawsuit out of court hours after it was filed – with the terms not disclosed.

Ventura, who also named Big Boy Entertainment in the filing, later said: ‘I have decided to resolve this matter amicably on terms that I have some level of control.

‘I want to thank my family, fans and lawyers for their unwavering support.’

‘We have decided to resolve this matter amicably,’ Combs added. ‘I wish Cassie and her family all the best. Love.’

If you want to see an animated Legend of Zelda movie, or a remake of Ocarina Of Time, this new fan-made footage may be as close as you get.

It’s not impossible that the recently announced Zelda movie will turn out well but it’s certainly a tall order, given all the intrinsic problems with a character that never usually talks and a series that has little in the way of complex narrative.

There’s also the unique tone of the Zelda games, which are more serious than other Nintendo titles but still full of whimsy and silliness, of the sort it’s hard to imagine being replicated by a Hollywood movie.

An animated or CGI film would seem to make more sense and the fan-made The Legend Of Zelda: Castle Town is essentially both things at once, while also hinting at what a next gen Zelda game could look like.

Castle Town has been made in Unreal Engine 5 and purposefully evokes the magic of hand drawn Studio Ghibi films. It’s also meant as a celebration of the 25th anniversary of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time. An important milestone that Nintendo completely ignored (and yet they went nuts over the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. – go figure).

To avoid getting sued by Nintendo (although that could still happen) the footage is not presented as an actual film but as if it’s a playable game, as Link takes a look around Castle Town and bumps into the likes of Malon, some Deku Shrubs, the Happy Mask Salesman, and Fi from Skyward Sword.

There’s no real narrative but according to creator RawnLink it took four months and 600 hours to make, working all on his own.

We’re not sure the purposefully choppy animation necessarily replicates the Studio Ghibli look he was going for, but it’s an undeniably impressive achievement, especially for one person.

Thanks to the 25th anniversary there’s recently been more talk amongst fans of whether Ocarina Of Time deserves a remake and what that might look like.

This certainly hints at one possibility, as well as raising the question of how a new Zelda game could work on the Switch 2, even if at the moment we have no idea what kind of game it would be or what the technical capabilities of the new console are.

The new movie may also have some influence on the franchise’s future direction, but for now there’s really no clue what the future of Zelda will look like.

Netflix actor Kevin Muñoz has been found dead with his hands and feet tied, local media has reported.

The 23-year-old, who starred in the streamer’s film Lavaperros, was discovered with multiple blunt-force wounds across his body in Tuluá, Colombia on Tuesday (November 21).

Officers believe the Colombian actor had been bludgeoned with a machete in the moments before his death in what they suspect was an armed robbery.

A 19-year-old, who has not been named, has been arrested as a suspect in the murder, according to the head of local police, Nicolás Suárez, who spoke to Noticias RCN.

He said: ‘The Valle Police Department reports that thanks to the timely information provided by citizens, the capture of a 19-year-old man was achieved, who had allegedly participated in the homicide of Kevin Andres Muñoz Tovar, a renowned actor from a Colombian film.

‘The subjects who caused the injuries then fled the scene, but thanks to information from the community, one of them was captured.’

Local media reports that Muñoz’s murder is the eleventh recorded this year in Tuluá.

Muñoz was a rising star, having appeared in Netflix’s 2020 film Lavaperros (Dogwashers), directed by Carlos Moreno, a black comedy about a failing drug kingpin.

He also appeared in a small role in the Apple TV series Echo 3, which also stars Luke Evans, Jessie Collins, and Michiel Huisman.

The thriller follows a brilliant scientist who vanishes along the Colombia-Venezuela border, prompting her brother and husband, both elite US Army commandos, to launch a search party.

The investigation into Muñoz’s murder continues.

Dame Judi Dench once left a James Bond co-star rather flustered with an accidental naked FaceTime call.

The legendary actress, 88, has worked alongside Ben Whishaw, 42, several times, both in the 007 franchise and on stage.

And while they’re close friends, well, there are some things Ben probably wouldn’t count on seeing.

The Oscar-winning veteran star revealed her blunder as she spoke to Zoe Ball talks on the BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show, recalling how her daughter, actress Finty Williams, suggested that she make a call to a friend, Chris Logan, for his birthday.

It’s safe to say it’s a birthday message he probably won’t forget.

‘Can we mention the message… you tried to record for your friend Chris?’, Zoe asked.

‘I can’t see, Zoe. I can’t see at all, so my phone is an anathema to me, I don’t know what all those buttons are for,’ Dame Judi explained.

Sadly, Dame Judi can no longer see on film sets due to her deteriorating eyesight.

She previously revealed that she has macular degeneration, which causes the gradual loss of vision.

‘Anyway, Fint rang me one morning and said, “It’s Chris Logan’s birthday and he’s having a walk with Ben Whishaw in Regent’s Park, please wish him happy birthday?”,’ she continued explaining.

‘And then I went upstairs, got into my bath and I thought. “Ooh I must send Chris Logan a happy birthday message.”

‘So I picked up my phone and I said, “Chris, happy, happy…”, and I just saw these two people turn and go *shocked*.

‘Well, it was FaceTiming them… I don’t know about FaceTime. Poor Chris… happy birthday!’

‘What a birthday message. You can’t top that though, can you?!’, Zoe joked.

‌Dame Judi has been open about the effects of her losing her vision and the adaptations she has needed to make as a result.

‘I mean, I can’t see on a film set anymore, and I can’t see to read, so I can’t see much. But, you know, you just deal with it. Get on,’ said the Oscar winner in an interview.

Discussing how that affected her acting, she added to The Mirror’s Notebook magazine: ‘It’s difficult for me if I have any length of a part. I haven’t yet found a way. Because I have so many friends who will teach me the script. But I have a photographic memory.’

Dame Judi is determined to continue working ‘as much as I can’ despite the difficulties her condition poses.

Although, speaking of working and particularly James Bond, Dame Judi might not be so keen to star opposite the next actor who takes on Daniel Craig’s previous role.

Having spent years playing a secret agent boss in the action franchise, she left Skyfall feeling rather underwhelmed.

She said that the entire cast was initially told they would be spending a considerable amount of time at the Scottish house seen at the end of the blockbuster where all the drama happened. 

However, they were actually there for less than 24 hours, as the movie was mainly filmed in Aldershot – leaving Dame Judi displeased.

Speaking during an episode of BBC One’s Countryfile, she said: ‘Albert Finney and I were going to go to Scotland and [we were told] “Oh you’ll be there for two weeks, certainly”. 

‘We got intensely excited. I said, “Oh my God.” I said, “I love it so much.” Well, we flew up at something like 7:30 in the evening, I think and we arrived at our hotel, and we stayed there. 

‘And we were in Glencoe at 5:30 in the morning. We were back on the 7:30pm plane at night. So the house in Skyfall was built on Ministry of Defense land at Aldershot.’

MORE : Iconic 90s band get into vicious brawl on stage after calling fans ‘cancer’

It was eventful evening in Melbourne on Tuesday night at Brian Jonestown Massacre’s gig – well, half-gig.

The rock band, who formed in 1990, were on their ninth of 12 planned shows in Australia and New Zealand when all hell broke lose – and not in a fun rock n’ roll way, either.

The chaos came in the form of a physical fight between frontman and group founder Anton Newcombe and guitarist Ryan Van Kriedt.

Yep, in the immortal words of Bridget Jones’ friend Tom before that iconic Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver restaurant brawl: ‘It’s a fight, a real fight!’

In all seriousness though, they really did appear to go for each other in what is some very awkward watching for the totally confused crowd.

The build up of tension is somewhat of a mystery, but fans have filled some gaps in the jigsaw puzzle with their various videos of the evening, posted on X as the conflict heated up.

It appears the pair got into a disagreement as Kreidt can be heard telling the frontman: ‘For the 1,000 time, I’m not on your side, you’re on the wrong side.’

Footage then shows Newcombe telling Kriedt: ‘Cut off this guy’s mic, put down my guitar, party’s over captain.

‘We actually don’t need you. Go. Put my guitar down on the stage and think about what’s happening.’

Kriedt then hit back, saying, ‘You better think about this one, man. Because this is forever,’ before putting his guitar down and walking offstage.

But it wasn’t a totally seamless exit, as after a little bit of contact between the bickering bandmates one thing led to another and they were suddenly at each other.

It all got quite extreme when Newcombe hit Kriedt over the head with a guitar, and they dragged each other to the ground before security managed to separate them.

According to Rolling Stone, the curtain eventually fell and the show ended.

ABC report that prior to the bandmate’s argument, Newcombe was ‘unhappy and angry’ at the crowd, and the publication claims that the rest of the tour is cancelled.

Indeed, one video does show the frontman rocker calling his fans ‘the cancer you are’ in an unclear rant, while shining a torch into the crowd.

That’s one way to get your fans onside…
