Dog the Bounty Hunter headed out on his first manhunt since his wife Beth Chapman’s death, but his son Leland ended up being hospitalised.

Leland was left badly hurt while taking down the suspect, according to The Blast.

The publication initially reported Leland ‘tore his ACL’ in the incident, but issued an updated report claiming he has in fact torn his achilles tendon, located just below the calf.

Dog (real name Duane), Leland and their team had been pursuing a bail jumper who has been accused of domestic violence, but things didn’t exactly go to plan and Leland could be in need of surgery.

The struggle did see him catch the accused, though, and the team were able to make their arrest.

Leland is now recovering in an Alabama hospital, with a spokesperson telling AL.com that he could be out of action for the next six weeks.

The arrest was reportedly caught on camera and will feature in the family’s new show Dog’s Most Wanted.

It was the first manhunt Dog and Leland had carried out following Beth’s death.

Beth died last month on 22 June in Hawaii, after being placed into a medically induced coma.

The reality star, best known for her A&E series Dog The Bounty Hunter with her husband, had been admitted to the intensive care unit at the Queen’s Medical Centre in Hawaii and Dog had urged his followers to ‘pray for Beth’ on Twitter.

Beth had been rushed to hospital from the Chapmans’ home in Honolulu, with a 911 call reporting a ‘choking emergency’.

She had been battling cancer and chose to stop undergoing treatment in May.

Beth first revealed in September 2017 that she had stage two cancer, with A&E airing a two-hour special called Dog and Beth: Fight Of Their Lives documenting her health scare.

Months later, she announced she was cancer-free, but the cancer returned last year, leading her to have an emergency operation to remove a mass in her throat.

Her health deteriorated after the surgery, and Beth later learned the cancer had spread to her lungs and was incurable.

Dog addressed Beth’s cancer battle in an interview with Daily Mail and said: ‘My baby has cancer and she is fighting like hell. I have cried a lot over this because Beth is my everything.

‘Despite all of the obstacles I have overcome, this is by far the biggest test of my life and mark my words, I will not let her die. She is my rock and my bodyguard. I will do everything I can to keep her here.’

Beth was Dog’s fifth wife, after his marriages to La Fonda Sue Honeycutt, Anne M Tegnell, Lyssa Rae Brittain and Tawny Marie, and they married in 2006.

Chrissy Teigen is literally all of us when it comes to working out.

Most of us have zero willpower when it comes to going to the gym and it turns out, so does Chrissy, as she revealed she has a gym in her own home but never actually uses it.

But, while her mum was visiting, the model decided to kickstart a new exercise regime to get her ‘fit for fall’ and finally gave working out a go… with a wine in hand.

Now that we can get on board with.

Chrissy hilariously filmed herself carrying out a reformer pilates workout and was seen holding on to a glass of wine to, y’know, keep herself hydrated throughout her training sesh.

Across her video, the mum-of-two (she shares daughter Luna, three, and son Miles, one, with John Legend) had us all amused as she simply wrote: ‘Balance.’

Chrissy has become pretty much everyone’s firm favourite on social media and recently was left red-faced after she posted the entire first episode of her new show Bring the Funny online.

She was only supposed to share a teaser, but accidentally dropped the whole thing via a private link that gave everyone access.

In true Teigen style, she then joked that she’d been ‘fired’ for the mishap.

‘Well it looks like I have been fired for posting the whole thing,’ she tweeted 37 minutes after realising her mistake.

‘Thank u all for your kind texts and DMs please send job opportunities to same number.’

Oh, Chrissy, Chrissy, Chrissy.

Debby Ryan has revealed her ‘anger, devastation and confusion’ as the death of her Jessie co-star Cameron Boyce.

The Disney Channel actor died in his sleep, with the news confirmed on Sunday.

Following Cameron’s death, his co-stars, including from his most recently project Descendants 3 and Grown Ups co-star Adam Sandler, have continued an outpouring of tributes and memories of the popular actor.

Debby Ryan posted a video of 20-year-old Cameron speaking earlier this week, however she’d remained silent on her emotions until now.

Now the actress has broken her silence on his passing, as she took to social media to share a series of sweet images of her with Cameron and a lengthy statement.

Proclaiming her heartbreak, the 26-year-old wrote: ‘This ripped me up. I keep trying and I can’t make anything make sense.

‘He was blameless, and relentlessly joyful; he was good. Through and through, Cam is good, in all ways and to all people. And the most alive.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bzwb2wOg9C_/

‘It’s wrong. I am so confused and devastated and angry. But that isn’t very Cam. He’d cast any shade of sadness or darkness in colours of positivity; he couldn’t help himself but to always leave you smiling, or laughing, or dancing. So sincere, kid Truth. He was good.’

Debby – who played the nanny to Cameron’s character Luke Ross in the Disney Channel series, which ran from 2011 until 2015 – shared three images of her with Cameron, including one where the pair appeared to be at an event.

As Debby appeared to take the selfie, Cameron closed his eyes and sported a massive grin.

‘My heart is with his parents, Vic and Libby, full of grace, and his wonderful sister Maya. An unimaginable sorrow,’ she continued.

‘I’m grateful for our Jessie family, with whom to uniquely grieve our guy — Peyton, Skai, Kevin and Karan, whose soul is also far too special to have to experience this depth of grief.

‘There are beautiful connections and beams of light, ever present, truly the fingerprints of Cam still around and showing up in the midst of this. I love him so much. Forever.
You’re alive in the legacy of love you built, and I will keep that light burning in me for the rest of my journey.

‘The world was robbed. We’re better for you.’

On Sunday a spokesperson confirmed Cameron had died due to an ‘ongoing medical condition’.

‘It is with a profoundly heavy heart that we report that this morning we lost Cameron,’ a spokesperson told ABC news in the US.

‘He passed away in his sleep due to a seizure which was a result of an ongoing medical condition for which he was being treated.

‘The world is now undoubtedly without one of its brightest lights, but his spirit will live on through the kindness and compassion of all who knew and loved him.

‘We are utterly heartbroken and ask for privacy during this immensely difficult time as we grieve the loss of our precious son and brother.’

Love Island delivered one of the highlights of the series as the girls and boys took part in a challenge to turn each other on.

Dressing up in revealing outfits, the islanders had to dance for their partners – with everyone else watching on.

But when the islanders were told who made their pulse race the most, the results ruffled a few feathers as there’s clearly unfinished business between a few islanders.

The villa is down five people after the exits over the last couple of days, with Jourdan Riane, Danny Williams, Lucie Donlan and George Rains being dumped after a public vote.

Amy Hart also decided to quit as she felt she had got all she could out of the experience.

So it was time for some new blood, and newcomers Francesca Allen and Chris Taylor made their entrance into the villa by taking current contestants on a date.

Things got awkward for Maura as she went on a picnic with Chris, as Curtis – who she has been trying to crack on with – laughed away on his date with Francesca nearby.

Let’s take a look at what happened last night.

Maura Higgins goes on an awkward date with Chris Taylor

Chris decided to take Maura on a date while Francesca chose Curtis, and to make things really awkward, the two pairings weren’t sat that far away from each other as they enjoyed romantic picnics.

Maura appeared to be squirming through her picnic as she couldn’t help but wonder what Curtis and Francesca were so happy about.

She admitted beforehand in the Beach Hut that most of her concentration would be on her love interest.

Chris told Maura that she has a ‘cracking personality’, but will her head be turned from Curtis? We’re hoping not, weirdly.

Amber Gill admits she still has feelings for Michael Griffiths

Amber had an emotional moment with the girls as she broke down in tears over her feelings for Michael.

When she was asked by Maura and Anna Vakili what she thinks of Chris, she admits: ‘I can’t switch off my feelings. I still like Michael.

‘Chris is lovely and he’s got tattoos and he’s tall but I just had something with Michael.’

In the Beach Hut she said: ‘Having a new boy enter the villa tonight has made me realise that I still have feelings for Michael.’

Michael appeared to express no sympathy for her as both he and Joanna seemed to hear Amber crying and didn’t react.

Amber gets Michael’s heart racing more than his partner Joanna Chimonides

And she succeeded, as his heart rate was raised the most by his former flame, while his current partner Joanna didn’t manage to get him hot under the collar.

Viewers called him out on it, especially as he had previously been so cold to Amber when they broke up.

Maura makes Curtis’ day

Maura put on a show during the challenge last night as she gave Curtis a lapdance to get his heart racing.

Dressed in a fishnet bodysuit and cat ears, she strode up to the professional dancer and straddled him before they shared a kiss.

They’re a weird coupling but we hope they work out.

Love Island airs daily at 9pm on ITV2.

Kodak Black’s lawyer has claimed that the rapper’s arrest back in May was ‘racially motivated’.

Kodak was arrested in May, just before he was expected to perform at Rolling Loud festival.

He has been accused of providing false information on a gun application for a firearm linked to a shooting in Pompano Beach in March and has pleaded not guilty to the charges made against him.

Kodak is currently in custody and faces up to eight years in prison.

TMZ reports that Bradford Cohen, who represents Kodak, has now raised his suspicions surrounding the artist’s arrest and accused cops of taking Kodak into custody purely because he is black.

According to the publication, Cohen says he finds it suspicious that an undercover officer was present in the store on the exact day Kodak attempted to purchase a firearm there.

He claims Kodak was targeted because of his race, age and appearance as he was dressed in expensive clothing and jewellery and has questioned the conduct of officials during the case.

The Miami-Dade Police Department told TMZ it cannot comment on the accusations made by Cohen as Kodak is facing federal charges. A law enforcement source added that the case is still ‘under investigation’.

Metro.co.uk have reached out to Kodak’s rep for comment, along with the Miami-Dade Police Department. 

Kodak has spent the last two months in prison and recently shared his first photo from behind bars to Instagram.

His snap was far from a mug shot, as the Tunnel Vision was seen smiling while wearing a prison jumpsuit and flashing his grills inside the Florida jail.

The rapper captioned the photo ‘The Streets Thin Na Cuz Everybody Gettin Hung .. Lawyers Sittin Back Suckin All A N**** Funds #SG #10TOESDOWN’.

In May, Kodak asked for bail to address a sexual assault charge in South Carolina, but Judge Federico Moreno dismissed his request calling him a ‘danger to the community’.

Willy Wonka And The Chocolate Factory star Denise Nickerson has died aged 62.

The actress, who is best known for playing Violet Beauregarde in the 1971 children’s classic, is said to have suffered a ‘severe stroke’ in June 2018 but was taken to hospital on Monday due to a medical emergency.

Her family confirmed that she passed away in her hospital room around 10.30pm Colorado time on Wednesday night, three days after she was taken off life support.

‘Several visitors came by her room to share memories and say their final goodbyes,’ revealed TMZ.

Denise’s son Joshua and his wife Jasmine had started a Go Fund Me page explaining the actress’ condition while asking for financial help to have her cremated.Joshua explained that Denise was diagnosed with pneumonia and suffered a huge seizure, prompting doctors to put her on life support.

However, the family decided to take the actress off the respirator when her condition worsened.

On the Go Fund Me page, Joshua said: ‘She began to experience blood poisoning and her body shut down. She’s been in a coma-like state. She cannot be saved.

‘We’ve been up here with her most of the day and she’s experienced multiple additional seizures.

‘At 3 am (07/10/19) we decided because the machines and medicines are not helping her but only making her more uncomfortable, that its okay to stop administering these things to her.

‘We are heartbroken and reliving a grief we’ve lived every single day since she had the stroke over a year ago [sic].

Born in 1957, Denise was 14 when she starred alongside Gene Wilder in the children’s classic.

As Violet Beauregarde, Denise played the gum-chewing teen who fell in love with Wonka’s gum that offered three meals in one. But after munching on a piece that wasn’t quite fully tested, she turned into a blueberry and was rolled away by the Oompa Loompas.

She had also appeared on Sesame Street and as Amy Jennings and Nora Collins in Dark Shadows between 1968 and 1970.

However she retired from acting at the age of 21 and settled into a life of a nurse, as well as attending fan conventions.

YouTubers Jake Paul and Tana Mongeau had us all spitting out our tea when it was suggested they’d married after only a month since becoming engaged.

We all went wild as they released a bunch of images, with Tana sporting a pretty impressive engagement ring and wedding band – basically dripping in diamonds.

She said alongside the shots: ‘Bet you didn’t think we’d be engaged this long.’

Which, evidently, prompted the world to assume they’d tied the knot – turns out that was all fake news.

The images were all for the couple’s extra AF engagement shoot (here for it), and her cheeky caption was perhaps alluding to the fact people have been doubting their relationship, not that their engagement had already turned into marriage.

Taking to Instagram overnight, the influencer – who recently dated actress Bella Thorne – shared a bunch of behind-the-scenes images that are a little NSFW compared to their other engagement shots.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzwjiiYBGcd/

Like, in one, Tana kneels and simulates oral sex on Jake. Probably not going to be hung on the Paul family photo wall.

Jake’s brother Logan Paul spoke for all of us, when he commented: ‘Oh my god.’

Making sure we knew once and for all they hadn’t tied the knot, Tana had earlier reacted to a news report claiming they were married by saying it was ‘fake news’ and adding: ‘We’re still engaged…you’ll know when we have a wedding.’

She also hit back at claims the whole thing was a ‘stunt’ while also saying she was Tana and ‘not just someone’s ex’ owing to the reference of dating Bella.

While they might not have got hitched, you can’t blame the world for believing they may have taken the plunge.

In one photo from their shoot, Jake and Tana are seen kissing while she holds up her wedding finger, with the two rings that seem to be a pair of engagement bling.

Jake, meanwhile, tagged the location of his post at Marriage Today and wrote: ‘Shane dawson made this possible #engaged #inlove.’

The Team 10 star had proposed to Tana on her 21st birthday, after they started ‘dating’ back in May.

‘JAKE JUST PROPOSED,’ Tana wrote announcing the news, later adding: ‘I’m……. engaged………………’

When asked if it was a joke, the 21-year-old insisted: ‘It’s not. i’m engaged. holy f***.’

Also sharing a video of a cake with a huge ring on top reading: ‘Will you marry me Tana?’, the star showed off a huge ring, proving that these two definitely don’t do things by halves.

People are still calling this thing a stunt, wondering whether the pair are actually engaged but let’s just settle into the love bubble before it’s burst, eh?

Louis Walsh has insisted there’s no bad blood between him and Simon Cowell after he was sacked from the X Factor in 2018.

The 66-year-old music manager is gearing up to return for Celebrity X Factor alongside judges Simon Cowell and Nicole Scherzinger, with Dermot O’Leary also on board as host.

Despite being sacked, Louis doesn’t have any animosity towards Simon, describing him as ‘the best person in the world’.

Speaking to The Sun about being axed, Louis said: ‘I was sacked and paid off. There’s no hard feelings.

‘I had 13 years. I love Simon. Simon’s the best person in the world. I love working with him.

‘I used to work with him everyday. The reason Westlife are here is because of Simon. He started this band. He gave us all the hits. He was an amazing A&R guy. Nobody better.’

It’s currently unknown who will be taking part in Celebrity X Factor, although there’s rumours of Love Island supergroups and Gemma Collins.

While Louis didn’t officially confirm anyone for the line-up, he offered some names he’s heard banded around.

‘They won’t tell us who the celebs are until they walk out,’ Louis added. ‘I heard Gemma Collins, Vinnie Jones, Megan McKenna.

‘I know Megan’s a great singer and we’ll get the best out of them. We’re gonna have great fun.’

Simon announced earlier this year the X Factor was moving away from its traditional format in favour of celebrity and all-star specials.

Rumoured names have started to emerge for the latter too, including Leona Lewis, Shayne Ward, and Alexandra Burke.

The X Factor Celebrity and All-Stars are set to kick off later this year.

Dog The Bounty Hunter star Beth Chapman’s funeral will be live-streamed.

Fans will have the chance to say their goodbyes to her in the broadcast memorial service which will air on the show’s Most Wanted Facebook page, and WGN America’s website.

The 51-year-old passed away on 26 June after being placed in a medically-induced coma following a battle with cancer, and her funeral will take place at the Heritage Christian Center in Aurora, Colorado on Saturday 13 July.

The service is thought to also be open to the public.

Earlier this month, Beth’s husband Duane ‘Dog’ Chapman thanked fans for their support, tweeting: ‘Love you all and thank you very much for the support you have been giving for Beth.

‘We have tentatively scheduled July 13 in Denver to tuck her in, tell her goodnight, for she sleepeth. More details will follow… time, place, ect (sic).’

Days after her death, another service was held in Hawaii – where the couple lived – and Dog gave a moving speech in memory of his wife.

He said: ‘After my mom died, I said well, “my mom is in the Earth” … In my tribe, we believe she becomes part of the Earth, the sea, the sky and the rain.

‘Beth is going to be placed here too, she got here before I did, it’s my island. She said, “please, Hawaiian style, Duane Dog Chapman.”

‘I tried to have her call me Dog for so many years. She said, “please do this right,” so I appreciate everyone being here.

‘I have to go out on the boat so I can see everybody right, its Hawaiian tradition and style. Thank you all, God bless, Aloha.’

Irish comedian Brendan Grace has died aged 68.

The Father Ted star passed away peacefully in the early hours of 11 July, according to his family.

In a statement issued to RTE, Brendan’s family said they were grateful for the support from fans since his illness was announced.

The comedian’s passing comes a week after it was reporting that Grace was ‘fighting for his life’ in hospital.

Grace had been receiving treatment for a month after contracting pneumonia, but was later diagnosed with cancer.

A spokesperson for the star said this week: ‘Brendan Grace has been in hospital for the last four weeks receiving treatment for pneumonia.

‘It has now transpired that he is also suffering from cancer for which he is receiving ongoing care and treatment.

‘His family are a great support to him at this difficult time and respect for their privacy would be much appreciated.’
Grace’s tour of Ireland in July and August was cancelled due to his illness.

Mrs Brown’s Boys creator Brendan O’Carroll was one of the first stars to pay tribute, tweeting: ‘So sad at the passing of a great comedy legend, husband and father #brendangrace He opened doors for so many of us and leaves a legacy of love and laughter that will echo through this land and we will all mourn his passing. Rest peacefully Bottler you’ve earned it.’

In the UK, Grace was probably best known for his role as Fr Fintan Stack in the 1996 Father Ted episode New Jack City – in which he uttered the classic line: ‘I’ve had my fun and that’s all that matters.’

However, he will be remembered for an illustrious comedy career in Ireland and around the world, gaining acclaim for his characters Father of the Bride and Bottler and even sharing the stage with Frank Sinatra.

Also a singer, Brendan had several hit songs including Cushie Butterfield, Combine Harvester (which went on to be a hit for The Wurzels) and The Dutchman.

Grace is survived by his wife Eileen, who he married in 1973, their four children and their grandchildren.

In recent years, he divided his time between Ireland, running a pub in Killaloe, Co Clare, and his home in Florida.

Monsta X appeared on Good Morning Britain today as a team of six as Hyungwon is ill.

They became the first K pop group to appear on Good Morning Britain on Thursday, with I.M, Joohoney, Minhyuk, Shownu, Wonho and Kihyun chatting to Ben Shephard and Susanna Reid.

When asked where Hyungwon was, rapper I.M. explained he is ‘a bit sick’, while other members gestured to where he would have been sat on the Good Morning Britain sofa.

As Ben joked he had eaten too much fish and chips and laughing, the band agreed.

Susanna and Ben gave them a selection of British food to try including scotch eggs and Marmite.

The spread seemed to go down well with everyone except Joohoney, who absolutely hated it and asked for a glass of water. Don’t blame him really.

However, they enjoyed the scotch eggs and black pudding, with Ben explaining that it was made from blood.

The members were also asked about their world tour, which hit London’s Wembley Arena on Tuesday.

Referring to their last London show, Wonho said: ‘This time was even better, more Monbebe.’

Minhyuk added: ‘This time it was beyond our expectation. We loved it. Really good.’

I.M. also spoke about their English-language single Who Do U Love, which features rapper French Montana.

Starship Entertainment, Monsta X’s label, released a statement relating to Hyungwon’s health, explaining that he is ‘having sudden body ache symptoms’.

‘According to his doctor’s suggestion, we have decided to prioritise the health of our artist first. Thus we will provide the best medical treatment to help Hyungwon to recover from his illness as soon as possible.

‘We sincerely apologise for this sudden change of event, for we do know our fans’ will be deeply concerned about Hyungwon’s health.

‘We would like to have the fans’ kindest support so he can get better soon.’

Monsta X will move on to Berlin for the last stop on the Europe leg of their tour, before flying out to the US.

Earlier in the show they tried to show Peter Andre how to do their now-viral vibrating Shoot Out dance.

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.

You’d be forgiven in believing nothing dramatic was going on in Taylor Swift’s life right now – especially not a to and fro with Scooter Braun.

Following the Shake It Off singer’s claims the managing mogul had bought her back catalogue without being given the chance to purchase it herself – a detail both sides don’t seem to be able to come to an agreement on – following years of ‘bullying’ at the hands of the man, she well and truly shook off the drama.

Now we really know how those lyrics can be put into positive and proactive action.

Taylor took to the stage in a flurry of flower walls, purple rompers and pyrotechnics as she made her first public appearance after calling out Justin Bieber’s long-time manager and effectively splitting the music industry in two.

While she didn’t address the whole palaver when she performed at Amazon’s Prime Day concert in the States on Wednesday night, she showed us she’s fine just fine.

Performing her hits to a star-studded crowd, we bet there was a little added kick to the lyrics: ‘…liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world.’

Other performers at the event — hosted by Jane Lynch — included Dua Lipa, SZA and Becky G, but it seemed fans were preparing for Taylor’s set long before she took to the stage.

Ahead of the show, it was claimed paper hearts were handed out with the message: ‘Hold this PINK heart against your flashlight the moment Taylor Swift finishes performing her first song. #WeStandWithTaylor Follow @theSwiftie911’

It comes after a source claimed to People the singer doesn’t really care about the negativity she’s received from some in Scooter’s corner.

‘She has no regrets expressing her thoughts about Scooter acquiring her music catalog[ue],’ they said. ‘She wanted to share her truth with her fans.’

Seems following her break in the Caribbean for the Fourth Of July holiday, Taylor is getting back to work and is more than likely quite keen to move on from the Scooter drama.

Tay-Tay accused the entertainment manager of ‘bullying’ her and said she was ‘stripped of her life’s work’ when he bought Big Machine Records – and with it acquired her back catalogue of master recordings and anything else she’d ever worked on from her debut album.

The Bad Blood singer reacted to the news that Scooter had purchased Scott Borchetta’s Big Machine Label Group – Taylor’s former label – as part of a $300million (£240million) deal, according to Billboard.

Going even further, Taylor claimed Scooter had been tormenting her through music for years.

Bypassing the media, Taylor wrote a lengthy post on her Tumblr page as she reacted to the announcement, and criticised Borchetta saying: ‘This is what happens when you sign a deal at fifteen to someone for whom the term “loyalty” is clearly just a contractual concept.’

Stewart, the dog who played Cheddar on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, has died aged 13.

The corgi’s owner announced his passing on Instagram, giving details of his last day relaxing in the sun in his favourite place.

The post read: ‘We went to the beach (his favourite place) where he frolicked in the surf and then enjoyed a picnic lunch of In & Out burgers. We relaxed in the sun and just enjoyed each other’s company.

‘Our veterinarian met us there later and Stewart went to sleep peacefully in my arms while listening to the sounds of the ocean. He was a one in a million kind of dog, he was my supaah staah.’

https://www.instagram.com/p/BzrrAB3HLdG/

Cheddar was known as Captain Holt’s ‘cute secret weapon’, and even acted as the ring bearer at Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy’s (Melissa Fumero) wedding on the show.

The TV dog was played by numerous pups throughout the show, but Stewart has served the longest stint in the role. He is survived by his sister Stella.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine recently concluded its sixth season, and was renewed for a seventh season earlier this year.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine seasons 1-5 are available to stream on Netflix.

The Love Island crew were given an absolute treat last night as Curtis Pritchard donned a feathered headdress, purple hotpants and danced his heart out to get the pulses of the ladies racing.

The villa’s only professional dancer put his all into the Heart Rate Challenge and in turn, has impressed a nation.

A nation that was a little wary of the guy following Amy Hart’s heartbreak.

Isn’t it amazing how a little razzle dazzle can perk up the spirits of a sceptical viewer?

While the idea of toxic masculinity is hot on the tongues of pundits, Curtis blew that well out of the water when he DGAF about twirling those buns like the best of them. Because who needs a sexy fireman awkwardly fumbling when you’re got a firecracker of a ballroom pro with hips that don’t lie?

Of course it took audiences mere seconds to react on social media, as many laughed along with Curtis’ mighty endeavour – as he made his literal moves on Maura Higgins.

Jake Quickenden, who won Dancing On Ice last year, took to Twitter where he simply said among a bunch of laughing emojis: ‘Curtis I can’t even.’

We were all Jake.

While he also recognised the headdress from Georgia Steel’s turn in the same challenge during last year’s series.

Another noted: ‘All the lads Butch as f*ck and kinda awkward. F*cking Curtis…’

Nothing awkward about his spirited display. Guy’s in touch with his showgirl side and we’re just so here for it.

‘Ah fairs to Curtis, lad put on a performance last night. Other lads (excusing Ovie) didn’t put half that much charisma into it,’ one fan proclaimed.

With others applauding the challenge ‘was made for’ him, we were all both shaken and stirred by the display.

‘I’m sorry but Curtis doing the sexy dance challenge is the best thing to happen in this series so far,’ an infatuated fan mused. ‘Bloody love him I do.’

It comes after Maura planted one on him for the first time as she attempted to get his heart racing during the NSFW challenge.

In the end, the women won out, managing to get the lads’ hearts racing at a higher beat.

Curtis really should be praised as MVP.

Love Island returns 9pm on ITV2.

Actress Denise Nickerson, one of the stars of Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory, has died aged 62.

The actress, who suffered a severe stroke in June 2018, passed away in her hospital room in Colorado around 10.30pm local time on Wednesday night following a medical emergency earlier in the week.

Her son Joshua and his wife Jasmine had explained that she was diagnosed with pneumonia and had suffered a huge seizure, prompting doctors to put her on life support.

However the family decided to take the actress off the respirator when her condition worsened.

‘Several visitors came by her room to share memories and say their final goodbyes,’ revealed TMZ.

Who did was Denise Nickerson in Willy Wonka and The Chocolate Factory?

Denise starred in the 1971 film adaptation of Roald Dahl’s novel as gum-chewing teenager Violet Beauregarde.

The character fell foul of the chocolate factory owner (Gene Wilder) after she fell in love with his gum which tasted like an entire three course meal.

However after sampling a piece which wasn’t properly tested she turned into a blueberry and had to be rolled away by the Oompa Loompas.

The actress told People in 2016, following the death of Wilder: ‘I’m a very fortunate lady to have been chosen to be a part of something that brings smiles to so many faces.’

Asked where Hyungwon was on the show, rapper I.M said he was ‘a bit sick’.

In their interview the Alligator singers were given some British food to try, including scotch eggs and Marmite.

The spread seemed to go down well with everyone except rapper Joohoney, who absolutely hated it and asked for a glass of water.

However, they enjoyed the scotch eggs and black pudding, with Ben explaining that it was made from blood.

The members were also asked about their world tour, which hit London’s Wembley Arena on Tuesday.

Referring to their previous London show, Wonho said: ‘This time was even better, more Monbebe.’

Minhyuk added: ‘This time it was beyond our expectation. We loved it. Really good.’

Monsta X will move on to Berlin for the last stop on the Europe leg of their tour, before flying out to the US.

Earlier in the show they tried to show Peter Andre how to do their now-viral vibrating Shoot Out dance.

Love Island’s Amy Hart has revealed why we’re yet to see any sex this series when we’re just two weeks away from the finale.

Previous series have seen islanders get straight to it, but as it stands only Tommy Fury and Molly-Mae Hague have confirmed themselves as fully pledged members of the ‘Do Bits Society’ – even they’re not allowed to say so.

Since leaving the villa Amy has admitted to fooling around with Curtis Pritchard before he savagely dumped her after turning his head for the first batch of girls who walked through the door while his half-girlfriend was out of sight.

But according to the 26 year old, who was pictured sobbing as she returned to the UK yesterday, no one wants to go all the way on TV.

‘No one wants to have sex as it’s a family show now,’ she told The Sun. ‘It used to be more niche but my 73 year old nan and granddad are obsessed with it.’

We mean, fair.

The former air stewardess also revealed that Love Island bosses intervened when she was clearly not eating following her split from Curtis, arguably the most shocking break-up the villa has ever seen.

Eventually, after the ballroom pro made it crystal clear he’d be cracking onto Maura Higgins, Amy called it a day and told Curtis she was leaving so he could be happy in an epic speech, which won’t be forgotten in a hurry.

‘We made each other happy… I want us to be best, best friends but we both need to move on and we both need to find someone that is going to make us as happy as we make them,’ she told him while battling through the tears.

‘Realistically for me, I’m not going to be ready in the next three weeks to meet someone else.

Realistically for you, you will not be happy all the time here because you’ll always put me first, because you’re such a good person.

‘That’s why I love you so much and that’s why I want you to be happy. ‘You are not going to be happy whilst I’m still here.’

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

Kangin has quit Super Junior after 14 years with the band.

The 34-year-old apologised to both fans and his band members in a statement shared on Instagram, saying the rest of Super Junior shouldn’t have to deal with his problems.

Kangin, real name Kim Woo-young, wrote: ‘Hello. This is Kangin. I am greeting you for the first time in a long time.

‘My heart feels heavy as it is not positive news, but I am posting after much consideration.

‘I am now letting go of the name “Super Junior” that has been with me for a long time. I always felt just apologetic to the members.

‘I always thought that it would be right for me to make the decision earlier rather than later, but the thought of the people who support me unconditionally and our agency family troubled my heart, so I could not gather the courage easily.

‘I thought that I could not make any decision alone. However, while watching the members who experience what they shouldn’t have to due to my problems, I made the judgment that I cannot delay this further.

‘More than anything, I feel most apologetic to the E.L.F. who have always given overwhelming love for 14 years.’

He continued: ‘I am very late, but I will let go of the name Super Junior, and I will have sorry feelings and gratitude engraved in my heart as I continue on my own road.

‘I want to really express gratitude to the members and agency family who were considerate towards me until the end. I will also be cheering on the success of Super Junior. Thank you.’

SM Entertainment said: ‘We have decided to respect Kangin’s decision to leave the group voluntarily. This does not affect his exclusive contract with the company; however, nothing has been decided regarding his future promotions.’

This comes after Kangin and Sungmin were cut from the line-up for Super Junior’s upcoming album.

Kangin had a controversial time in Super Junior, having been booked for driving under the influence in 2009 and 2016.

He was also accused of violence in 2009 and 2017, while he was accused of evading his duty as a reserve force member in 2015.

Super Junior – currently made up of Leeteuk, Heechul, Yesung, Shindong, Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Siwon, Ryeowook and Kyuhyun – have been one of the biggest selling K-pop acts in South Korea since their 2005 debut, with songs like Sorry, Sorry, Bonama, Mr Simple and Spy.

The 26-year-old former air stewardess quit the villa earlier this week following the breakdown of her relationship with Curtis, with Maura now setting her sights on the professional dancer.

Amy isn’t convinced Maura actually fancies Curtis though, believing she’s simply playing the game to secure her place in the show.

Speaking to The Sun, Amy said: ‘I don’t believe Maura liked Curtis. She was telling me to drop him, she took the mick out of the way he acted.

‘I think she thought he was the best one left out of the single ones. She wants to be on the show for as long as possible and go the distance. They aren’t suited.’

She doesn’t believe we’ll be seeing any sex on the series this year either, adding: ‘No one wants to have sex as it’s a family show now.

‘It used to be more niche but my 73-year-old nan and grandad are obsessed with it. It was hard knowing they would be watching it and seeing me upset.’

It comes after Curtis and Maura recently shared their first kiss during the lapdance challenge.

Ahead of Maura’s dance, she remarked: ‘I’ve got a bit of a plan up my sleeve. I just can’t wait to get to Curtis!’

Amy recently opened up about the reasons she quit the villa, explaining how it was to protect her mental health.

Love Island continues on ITV2 at 9pm.
