The Morning Show trailer sees Jennifer Aniston make her TV return alongside Steve Carell and Reese Witherspoon

Jennifer Aniston is making her return to TV as a frustrated journalist in The Morning Show, as the trailer gives fans a glimpse of what to expect.

The Friends favourite, 50, hasn’t starred in a TV series since 2012’s Burning Love, where she made a brief appearance, so fans were rightly excited at the prospect of seeing her back on their screens.

Jen will be joining Steve Carell and Reese Witherspoon in the new comedy drama, which sees the three lead characters fight to stay relevant in the ever-changing landscape of the media.

Steve and Jen’s characters – Mitch and Karen Kessler – are a couple as well as being co-hosts, and while none of the actors appear in the new trailer, their voices can be heard over the dramatic music.

It’s not the first time these two have acted together, however – they also started in 2003 film Bruce Almighty, in which Steve’s character was also a TV reporter.

The cast will also include Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Billy Crudup, Néstor Carbonell, Mark Duplass, Bel Powley, Karen Pittman and Desean Terry.

Available on Apple TV+, the series is set to drop this Autumn and has already been commissioned for two seasons before the first episode has even dropped.

The cast were on set for seven months, wrapping up filming in New York in May, and The Hollywood Reporter describes the series as: ‘an inside look at the lives of the people who help America wake up in the morning.’

As well as starring in the show, Jennifer and Reese also helped to produce the series, which takes inspiration from the 2013 book Top Of The Morning: Inside The Cutthroat World Of Morning TV by CNN senior media correspondent Brian Stelter.

Reese said at an Apple event earlier this year: ‘[The show] is seen through the eyes of two ambitious, aspirational female characters.

‘[It’s a] high-velocity thrill ride in which we pose questions without easy answers and shine a light on the fault lines in our society at this very complicated cultural moment.’

Jennifer added: ‘Through the prism of those under-slept, over-adrenalized people in front of and behind the camera, we take an honest look at the complex relationships between women and men in the workplace.

‘We engage in the conversation people are a little too afraid to have unless they’re behind closed doors.’

New Rick and Morty series four teaser sends fans wild as ‘unwantables’ are sent skyward

Here comes trouble (Picture: @RickandMorty/Twitter)

Rick and Morty fans were sent into a frenzy as a new still from the upcoming fourth series was shared on Twitter.

It’s been two years since we said goodbye to our (anti)heroes and while we’ve seen a clip and couple of pics from the new Adult Swim series, we’re always desperate for more.

The new still from the cartoon series shows a ‘thief’, ‘goth’ and ‘movie talker’ undergoing what definitely looks like one of hairbrained Rick’s schemes involving tape, rope and a bunch of balloons.

‘We hereby send these unwantables skyward that they might be inhaled by the many heads, later to be sneezed back to us as better babies,’ the cryptic caption read.

The new image had fans guessing the context behind the scene, with many pointing out that the red-headed thief looked suspiciously like show creator Justin Roiland. Hmmm…

This is our third glimpse at the new series, after we were treared in July to two pictures showing Rick fighting some robo-crocs and channelling his inner Theresa May as he runs through a field of alien wheat.

However, after Mr Poopybutthole warned us in the finale of season three that it would be a long wait until the next load of episodes dropped, it looks like we might not have such a big gap in the future, after Adult Swim commissioned 70 new episodes.

‘We’re super excited that, for the first time ever, we’re locked in, we know what the future is, we have job security,’ co-creator Justin Roiland said.

‘[Co-creator Dan] Harmon is in great spirits, we have a great writers’ room. We want the episodes to stay good, but we do also want to try to turn them around a little quicker now that we have this big order, I think it gives us the ability to be faster.

‘We’re not going to do these long breaks, these chasms between seasons anymore.’

We’re pleased to *burp* hear it!

Christine McGuiness looked unrecognisable as she transformed into a PVC Barbie for a Real Housewives of Cheshire fancy dress on Sunday night.

While we were spending our weekend sat at home watching Netflix in last night’s pyjamas, Paddy McGuinness’ wife hit the town in a seriously racy outfit for the fetish-themed event.

The 31-year-old went all out with her costume, wearing a hot pink PVC mini-dress with a very complicated harness across the chest.

Seriously, how do you get out of that thing?

Christine paired her look with some matching pink heels and a pink whip, while wearing heavy make up with a bold pink lip and some intense blonde hair extensions to the event at Whiskey Down in Manchester.

However, The Real Housewives star was quick to insist that the ‘Barbie vibes’ wouldn’t be a regular occurrence.

‘Not my usual Sunday attire,’ Christine wrote on Instrgam, clarifying: ‘this is a ‘bondage theme’ fancy dress!!!’

The Real Housewives star let her hair down (or up as the case may be) for the party, taking a well-deserved break from parenting duties.

The mother-of-three has three kids under the age of six, with her twins diagnosed with autism, aged three-and-a-half .

Christine has become a vocal advocate for discussing the condition in recent years and shared the news in August that the family had overcome a huge milestone and travelled by air together for the first time.

‘We done it,’ she wrote. ‘Our first flight all together as a family and it went so well.’

‘We are immensely proud of Leo, Penelope and Felicity. Despite all of the extra obstacles our children have to deal with, they stepped well out of their comfort zone and they done it so well. This has been 6 years in the making, planning and dreaming for a family holiday.’

She continued: ‘We started with a weekend in Southampton (we didn’t want to risk going abroad for the first time flying incase it went awful, we knew we could get a train home) but they done amazing.

‘I don’t think it will be long until we have our first holiday abroad!’

Mark Wright and Michelle Keegan can’t keep their hands off each other on their romantic trip to Ibiza.

The pair – who tied the knot back in 2015 – seem to still be in that honeymoon phase as they spent the day together on a yacht.

It’s alright for some…

The former Coronation Street actress, 32, was spotted cuddling up to her beau, while their pals joined them on board.

She looked seriously chic for their day out, rocking a nude, frilly mini-dress and brown sandals, completing her look with a huge beach bag and black sunglasses.

While the reality star went for a jazzier option, opting for an unbuttoned colourful shirt and matching shorts.

Honestly, we need one of those hanging in our wardrobes ASAP.

Mark’s loved-up Spanish holiday with Michelle comes just after ex Lauren Goodger branded their relationship ‘weird’, claiming the pair ‘don’t talk’.

The Towie original dated the TV presenter on-and-off for over a decade, with the pair engaged at one point.

However, it wasn’t to be and they split eight years ago, with Mark finding love with Michelle soon after.

But 32-year-old Lauren, who has turned to Celebs Go Dating in a bid to find a boyfriend, threw all kinds of shade on their romance.

Recalling a time she bumped into the couple at the gym, she told Heat magazine: ‘They don’t talk. It’s really weird. I was like, “f***ing hell, we weren’t like that”.

‘It’s like they don’t know each other. I can’t go into that, though.’

However, she then went into how she felt about the union, saying: ‘I’m just so glad that ain’t me.’

The E4 star also insisted Mark has no relevance in her life anymore, adding: ‘It’s annoying, because people say I always talk about him, but I really don’t give a s***.

‘I get why people ask about it, but everyone knows me from Towie and we were together at the beginning of it all, but it has no relevance to my life now whatsoever.’

Well it doesn’t look like Mark is too bothered, as he’s still topping up his tan in Ibiza…

The stars of the new Dora the Explorer film have argued that the kids movie is leading the way in Latinx representation on the big screen.

Eva Longoria, Narcos’ Michael Peña, Benecio del Toro and Danny Trejo all star in Dora and the Lost City of Gold, which hits UK cinemas on Friday, with 18-year-old Peruvian-American actress Isabella Moner playing the iconic adventurer.

Speaking to the Los Angeles Times, the cast discussed the importance of diversity and representation in film and cited Marvel’s Black Panther as the driving force behind change in the movie industry.

‘It’s kind of a great sign of the times where audiences are demanding [representation] and wanting it and supporting it,’ Michael, who plays Dora’s dad, said.

‘Like Black Panther. Would that movie really have been made 10 years ago or 20 years ago? I don’t think so.’

Further praising the 2018 superhero movie, which featured an almost entirely black cast and was nominated for seven Academy Awards, Michael continued: ‘It feels like when Black Panther won, we all won in a way.’

Based on the animated children’s educational programme, the live-action Dora and the Lost City of Gold sees a teenage Dora prepare to start high school with the help of Boots the monkey and her cousin Diego, only to discover that a mystery needs solving along the way.

Desperate Housewives’ Eva plays Dora’s mother in the film, with the actress revealing that the Latinx representation is what got her on board.

‘It’s authentically Latin,’ she told Extra TV. ‘There’s no check the box, “let’s insert Latino character here.”

‘It’s not forced upon you. No one’s hitting you on the head with a tortilla.’

She added: ‘It’s the reason why I wanted to do the movie.’

Topshop heiress Chloe Green and her ‘hot felon’ fiancé Jeremy Meeks have split up after two years together, amid claims their relationship has been off for two months.

Chloe was spotted with a mystery man aboard her father, Sir Philip Green’s £125 million superyacht over the weekend, as rumours circulated about a split from Jeremy.

Sources told Us Weekly that the couple remain on good terms following their break up, revealing: ‘They split about two months ago, but are off and on still speaking’.

Chloe, 28, is reportedly selling the London home she and Jeremy owned, and Jeremy, 35, was said to have been ‘surprised’ to see photos of her with another man.

She was photographed cuddling Monte Carlo polo captain Rommy Gianni as the pair lounged on one of the yacht’s spacious decks over the weekend.

Rumours about Jeremy and Chloe being on the rocks first came about in June after she was spotted without her engagement ring, though it looked like the relationship was ‘on and off’ until now.

Although Chloe didn’t post pictures of her new beau on Instagram, she shared a few bikini pictures alongside Victoria’s Secret model Joan Smalls.

While Chloe has been living her best life in Sardinia, Jeremy has been in Los Angeles, and even commented on her photo earlier in the week, saying: ‘Have fun’ alongside a heart.

The couple share one-year-old son Jayden together, and have yet to confirm they have officially split up, but the pair have reportedly argued in recent months with Chloe even cutting short her holiday to Dubai after the pair had a heated row.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Chloe and Jeremy’s representatives for comment.

Miley Cyrus ‘struggled to make her marriage with Liam Hemsworth work’ before their shock split.

The Climb singer and Hunger Games star announced their marriage was over earlier this week, just months after they tied the knot in a secret wedding.

And, soon after, pictures emerged of 26-year-old Miley kissing Kaitlynn Carter while on a girl’s holiday to Lake Como.

An insider has now claimed she took ‘steps’ to make things work in her marriage before they split, pushing for them to get help.

However, the source told TMZ Liam, 29, ‘didn’t even come close to meeting her half way’.

It reportedly ‘became apparent’ things wouldn’t work between the pair a while ago, which led to them ‘drifting apart’.

They added to the publication that they have been ‘separated for months’, despite only getting married in December.

A rep for the Hannah Montana actress confirmed their split – following an on-off relationship spanning a decade – on Sunday, stating: ‘Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time.

‘Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers.

‘They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.’

Liam – who extended his break in Australia – has kept a low profile after news of their split emerged.

However, after he was approached for a comment while out with brother Chris Hemsworth, he told Daily Mail Australia: ‘You don’t understand what it’s like.

‘I don’t want to talk about it, mate.’

While Miley got herself right back in the studio, sharing a snap of herself on the ‘gram, behind a microphone.

Does this mean Wrecking Ball part two is on the way?

Model Tess Holliday updated fans on how she has been feeling following a ‘depression episode’, revealing she feels better than she has in a long time right now.

Tess, 34, attended BeautyCon in Los Angeles over the weekend, where she appeared in great spirits as she interacted with her fans.

She posted on Instagram: ‘bb’s first big event since my lil depression episode, & honestly, this is the best I’ve felt in a long time.

‘I’m not sayin I’m better, bc I’m 100% not, but damn…. I look gooooooood and it was so nice meeting so many fans & getting so many hugs!!’

Tess recently opened up about her struggles with depression, and about having an abortion after struggling with postpartum depression.

She told People: ‘I had postpartum depression and then severe delayed postpartum and that’s what I was dealing with.

‘When I found out that I was pregnant again, I thought there’s no way I could do this. I was already, for the first time, experiencing suicidal thoughts.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1DJuVlnpGR/

‘I literally didn’t want to go through any day at all. So, the thought of having to do it, to go through all of that again, destroyed me.’

She posted earlier this month: ‘Hi, it’s your fav crybaby here. It’s been a week since I’ve posted on here, or used any other social media & tbh, I’ve been tempted to not come back at all.

‘This depression has been harder on me than ever, and I’m working through it slowly with therapy, exercise (& a lil [smoke] if I’m honest.).

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bxh1rJ8ljXy/?utm_source=ig_embed

‘I’m grateful that my career is doing well enough that I’m able to take a step back and work on myself in a really intense & meaningful way.

‘Social media is a great tool for connecting with others, & blah blah blah… but it’s not good for me right now. So for y’all asking, no, I’m not okay, but I’m making steps towards being ok.’

Tess admitted that making the decision to have the abortion was ‘awful’ but something which was necessary for her health.

She had chosen to speak out about her previous abortion to raise awareness about the restrictions women in certain states of America face when making a decision to terminate a pregnancy.

Tess has two children after having her first son Rylee when she was 20 – he’s 14 now – and had her second son Bowie, 3, in 2016.

Love Island cast ‘ban Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury from Ibiza getaway’ over fake claims

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury have gone from strength to strength since leaving the Love Island villa.

However, it has been claimed the rest of their ITV2 co-stars don’t quite agree, and banned the couple from joining them on a recent trip to Ibiza.

A handful of Islanders jetted off to Spain to celebrate Danny Williams’ birthday, but while Lucie Donlan, Jordan Hames, Chris Taylor and Belle Hassan lived their best life at the bash, Tolly were noticeably absent, along with Amy Hart.

And an insider claimed those in charge made it a point not to extend an invite.

‘Some of the Love Island stars got a free trip to Ibiza from a clothing brand and so were able to take people with them,’ a source said. ‘They decided they wanted to treat their Love Island mates but they all agreed they didn’t want to invite anyone they didn’t like – such as the “fake people”.

‘A few of them were very vocal about how they think Tommy and Molly are fake – they said all they did was sleep all day in the villa and nothing else.

Love Island's Amy Hart
Amy Hart was also not given an invite to the trip (Picture: Rex)

‘Everyone agreed they Tommy, Molly and Amy were banned from the trip and weren’t to be invited,’ they added to The Sun.

Molly-Mae had to contend with fake claims during her whole stint in the Love Island villa, with viewers and her co-stars questioning her intentions.

But the 19-year-old has always insisted she has been completely genuine in her feelings towards boxer Tommy.

She was also forced to speak out after Anton Danyluk unfollowed her on Instagram, soon after being dumped from the dating show.

Love Island's Molly-Mae Hague
Molly-Mae accused Anton Danyluk of ‘adding fuel to fire’ over Instagram unfollowing (Picture: Rex)

‘Everyone has seen that I’ve been getting quite a lot of backlash and hate online, so for him to then add fuel to the fire was quite shocking,’ she fumed.

‘I know Tommy would never do that to Belle [Hassan] if she was in this situation, because he’s not that type of person.

‘I think it showed more about him than anyone else,’ she added to OK! Magazine. ‘It’s a shame that this has happened. It was unnecessary.

‘I want to be able to support everyone who was on the show. We all did this together.’

Love Island's Anton Danyluk
Anton tapped that unfollow button (Picture: ITV)

Speaking about what made him tap that unfollow button, Anton stated: ‘When I was in the villa, I didn’t follow anyone, my management followed every islander.

‘But on the outside, when I noticed Molly-Mae on my newsfeed, I unfollowed her.

‘I have nothing against her, we just didn’t speak in the villa. We would be in the same room and wouldn’t say a word to each other.’

So. Much. Drama.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Tommy and Amy for a comment, Molly-Mae’s spokesperson declined to comment.

Caitlyn Jenner made a bit of a faux pas while celebrating Kylie Jenner’s 22nd birthday – she only went and posted a photo of the wrong daughter.

Everyone’s worst social media nightmare came true on Saturday when poor Caitlyn shared a snap of herself from back in the day with Kendall Jenner, 23, instead of the birthday girl.

Caitlyn, 69, captioned it: ‘Life was so simple back then, but life is so good today. Happy birthday to my little baby @kyliejenner.’

Gah, the awkwardness! We’re not sure who’s cringing more – us or Caitlyn.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B1C5Ly8gm2v/

Luckily, the Olympian clocked her mistake pretty quickly and deleted the post sharpish, replacing it with two cute snaps of her with Kylie and Kendall as young girls.

‘Happy birthday @kyliejenner,’ she wrote.

Well handled, Cait, but you still weren’t quick enough for the eagle-eyed kingpins of Instagram.

One fan captured the blunder for all to see, writing: ‘Oops! Looks like Caitlyn Jenner got Kylie and Kendall konfused!’

Listen, Kylie hasn’t mentioned the gaffe so we reckon it’s fine, plus she’s too busy living it up on $200 million super-yacht Tranquility in Italy with her nearest and dearest.

From jet-ski rides to swanky cocktails and a giant sunflower wall (what else?), the Lip Kit queen made sure it was a birthday to remember.

While her sisters weren’t able to jet into Europe with her to celebrate, they did make sure to send Kylie their birthday wishes on the ‘gram.

Kendall penned: ‘HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUEEN!!!! You’re such an amazing person inside and out. Thank you so much for giving us a chance to see stormi grow.

‘You’ve achieved a lot in the past few years and its so inspiring to everyone out there.’

Kim Kardashian gushed: ‘Happy Birthday @kyliejenner. When I think about you I think of a wise old soul who makes amazing decisions that are always true to what you really believe.’

At least they got the right sister, ey?

Kate Winslet discovered the dramatic secrets of her family’s past when she appeared on Who Do You Think You Are?, but some viewers were less than impressed with her ‘OTT’ reactions.

The Titanic actress personally approached the show’s producers in order to trace a Scandinavian side of her family that she only learned of before her mum died, two years ago.

As she learnt about her working class roots in Sweden, the 43-year-old was shocked to find that her family had been affected by the famine of the 1830s.

The news that a number of children had died of malnutrition before they reached their first birthday was particularly upsetting for the actress, as she was seen gasping in horror at the news.

However, the most shocking moment came as she found her great-great-great grandfather, a stable groom, was sentenced to 35 lashes after stealing potatoes and honey to feed his starving family.

She sobbed at the revelation, empathising for her relative, who was just a year older than she currently is.

‘Completely overwhelming’ (Picture: BBC)

But despite Kate’s distress, fans online were less than convinced by her reactions, branding her a ‘drama queen.’

‘Kate Winslet going all out for an Oscar!!!’ one wrote, while another said: ‘I like Kate but she seems she’d be surprised by a light switch.’

Pointing out the slightly obvious, a Twitter user commented: ‘Kate, ALL your relatives from the 1800s are dead I’m sorry to tell you.’

Salt was later rubbed in the actress’ wound after discovering her great-great grandfather on her dad’s side had served in the army from the age of 11, and been forced to administer similar whippings and punishments to thieves and deserters.

Speaking about her experience on the show, the Revolutionary Road star admitted she was surprised by how ‘completely overwhelming’ she had found the experience.

‘I strive to remain grounded and pass that onto my kids,’ she told the cameras. ‘But maybe because I come from such beginnings, that’s part of my DNA.’

Katie Price was shocked to discover that her son Harvey is an expert piano player in a heartwarming clip from her new show.

In moment from her Quest Red reality show, Katie Price: My Crazy Life!, the 17-year-old shows off his musical ability ahead of his performance at charity event Autism’s Got Talent.

‘Harvey’s always played the keyboard, but I don’t quite know what he’s capable of,’ she told his piano teacher Adam, as the pair played a duet with Harvey tunefully improvising with Adam.

‘How can he make that up?’ the 41-year-old pondered aloud. ‘That fascinates me.’

Harvey, who often struggles to speak and is blind, clearly has a natural connection to music and is able to make up tunes off his own back as a means of communicating.

‘For Harvey, music is his words. Music’s his language. He’s what we call a savant, a wise person,’ Adam explained.

Katie acts as Harvey’s carer and recently attempted to clean out her ‘mucky mansion’ after her oldest son refused to stay there anymore.

The teen, who suffers from Prader-Willi syndrome and autism, splits his time between an assisted living unit and Katie’s West Sussex mansion, but told his mum that he no longer liked living in her home.

‘I don’t like the front door. I don’t like the downstairs bedroom or Junior’s room,’ he said, instead favouring Katie’s fiancé Kris’ house. ‘I want to stay there tonight in a bunk bed in Kris.

Tonight’s Born Famous saw Mel B’s daughter, Phoenix Chi, 19, visit her mum’s childhood home of Hyde Park, Leeds, but she left viewers divided.

Phoenix was meant to stay the night in Mel’s childhood bedroom, but soon decided she was too emotional to spend the night in a house with strangers, who had been pretty excited to learn her mum was an actual Spice Girl.

The show was designed to give the children of famous stars, including Mel, Gordon Ramsay and Michelle Mone, the chance to experience what their lives could have been like if their parents hadn’t been famous.

Some fans were disappointed that Phoenix didn’t take part in the whole experience by not staying the night in her mum’s old home, posting: ‘What’s the point if she’s not going to live there as well? That was disappointing tbh’.

Another added: ‘I really took to Jack Ramsay last week but just not feeling it with Phoenix this week, it’s going in one ear & out the other, she doesn’t seem bothered!

Others thought that Phoenix had turned out wonderfully, writing: ‘Just shows a Beverly Hills rich kid who was born with a silver spoon in her mouth can be far more down to earth and well mannered than her mother who was “apparently” born with nothing. Hope we see more of Phoenix in the future.’

Another added: ‘Actually enjoyed #BornFamous tonight. @OfficialMelB your daughter did you proud.’

The episode saw Phoenix work at Pizza Hut and a coffee shop, visit her grandad’s former work place and speak to young people living in the area about their lives.

Born Famous returns on Monday at 10pm on Channel 4.

Liam Hemsworth is having a ‘difficult time’ in the wake of his split from Miley Cyrus.

The Hunger Games actor and We Can’t Stop singer announced they called time on their relationship over the weekend, just months after they got married.

And, after the 26-year-old was spotted living her best life and kissing Kaitlynn Carter in Lake Como, all eyes have been on her now-ex, making the 29-year-old ‘uncomfortable’.

‘It makes him uncomfortable that everything has been so public. It’s been a difficult few weeks for him,’ an insider claimed.

‘He’s with his family and just wants to be around people that are going to a support him and try and take his mind off of what’s going on.’

As news of their split broke, Liam had been spending time with brother Chris Hemsworth and his family out in Australia, while Miley had a whale of a time in Italy.

However, another source claimed the couple – who have had an on-off relationship over the last 10 years – could actually get back together, despite the Bangerz star kissing Brody Jenner’s ex on her trip.

‘Miley and Liam love each other and always will,’ they added to E! News. ‘Most of their friends feel they’ll be back together.

‘No one thinks Miley and Kaitlynn are in a real relationship, they believe it’s more fun on vacation.’

A rep for the Hannah Montana actress confirmed she had split from Liam on Sunday, stating: ‘Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time.

‘Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers.

Pals claim they could reunite once again (Picture: Rex)

‘They still remain dedicated parents to all of their animals they share while lovingly taking this time apart. Please respect their process and privacy.’

Since the news broke, there has been intense speculation about what had gone so wrong between the couple.

A source reportedly told TMZ Miley took ‘steps’ to make things work with the Neighbours star, even pushing for them to undergo couples therapy together.

But the publication states he ‘didn’t even come close to meeting her half way’, which eventually led to them drifting apart.

While Liam has kept a low profile after their break-up, telling Daily Mail Australia he ‘didn’t want to talk about’ the whole thing, Miley hinted she would be using her heartbreak in her new music.

Taking to Instagram, she simply posted a photo of herself in the studio, teasing new music.

Amber Gill was crowned the queen of Love Island this year, but it turns out she was actually meant to appear on the show in 2018.

We know. Our minds are blown too.

The beauty therapist, 22, admitted she was asked to go on the dating show last year but had a boyfriend at the time.

She told fans in an Instagram Q&A: ‘I didn’t actually apply to go in the villa I got asked by Instagram.’

Amber went on: ‘I did actually get asked the year before but I had a boyfriend – but let’s not talk about it.’

Ended badly, did it? We bet he’s kicking himself now.

The Geordie star continued that this year she thought, ‘why the hell not, let’s try it,’ and look what’s only gone and happened?!

Not only did Amber nab the £50,000 cash prize with partner Greg O’Shea, but she recently landed a panellist spot on Loose Women too.

The Newcastle native promises to be the sassy queen we fell in love with on Love Island on the chat show, and ‘won’t hold back’ with her opinions.

She told The Mirror: ‘Trust me, I’ll be giving my opinions on everything from cosmetic surgery to open relationships and blended families.’

Amber has had the TV offers flooding in since leaving Mallorca, including a rumoured spot on Dancing On Ice in 2010.

‘The Dancing On Ice casting team are delighted with the decision to snap up Amber,’ a source told The Sun.

The insider added: ‘Love Island contestants always do really well on the series as they are still fresh in everyone’s minds.’

Alanis Morissette has given birth to her third child, a son called Winter Mercy.

The You Oughta Know hitmaker took to Instagram on Monday to announce the birth of Winter, who was welcomed into the world last Thursday.

Alongside a picture of the tot, Alanis wrote: ‘He’s here. Winter Mercy Morissette-Treadway. #8/8/19 #mywholelifeidreamedoflovingyouthree.’

The 45-year-old has two other children – son Ever Imre, eight, and three-year-old daughter Onyx Solace – with her husband, rapper Mario ‘Souleye’ Treadway.

Winter’s birth comes after Alanis announced her pregnancy in March this year, and she recently spoke about the possibility of suffering postpartum depression.

Alanis suffered with the mental health condition after both her previous pregnancies, and said she now has a plan in place to tackle the symptoms if they should come up again, as she now knows how to spot the warning signs.

She said: ‘I had postpartum depression both times, both kids, just basically feels like tar had taken over my whole body and I was just underwater and I kept having that image of wanting to get above the wave.

She said: ‘First time around I didn’t seek help for a year and four months … and the second time I waited four months.

‘This time around I am not even waiting four minutes, I am going to be like, “OK, everybody, even if I say I am OK, I want you to resist believing me.”‘

Speaking about her experience of depression, Alanis admitted that the mental health condition ‘clouds’ everything in your life in a detrimental way.

She said: ‘Depression has a way of taking away self-perception in a way it clouds things. I am actually going to need support and I am not going to push it away.’

Halsey has shut down a troll who claimed Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth split up because the Wrecking Ball singer is bisexual.

Miley, 26, and husband Liam, 29, called it quits on Sunday and Miley was seen kissing Brody Jenner’s ex, Kaitlynn Carter in Italy soon after.

Amid the news, a keyboard warrior tweeted: ‘MileyCyrus splitting and allegedly cheating on Liam with a woman confirms that you shouldn’t date bi people.

‘Not offensive, just true. Bi is greedy and never satisfied.’

Halsey swiftly slammed the critic’s views, arguing that people shouldn’t be ‘afraid’ of women who ‘do what pleases them’.

She wrote: ‘Hey tigerbob. Doesn’t surprise me that ur saying this and ur page has u crying about Brie Larson too!

‘Stop being afraid of women who aren’t afraid to do what pleases them and not other people :-).’

Miley identifies as pansexual – that is, not being limited to sexual choice in regards to sex, gender or gender identity.

The singer, who has dated Stella Maxwell in the past, told Elle in July: ‘I’m in a hetero relationship, but I still am very sexually attracted to women.

‘I definitely don’t fit into a stereotypical wife role. I don’t even like that word.’

Meanwhile, Halsey has spoken openly about being a ‘young, bisexual woman’ in the past.

At the GLAAD Media Awards last year, she revealed: ‘I’m a young, bisexual woman, and I’ve spent a large part of my life trying to validate myself – to my friends, to my family, to myself.

‘Trying to prove that who I love and how I feel is not a phase; it’s not part of some confusion that’s going to change or could be manipulated.’

Miley and Liam met in 2009 on the set of Nicholas Sparks’ The Last Song before Aussie actor Liam proposed in 2012.

They announced their split in a statement to People that read: ‘Liam and Miley have agreed to separate at this time.

‘Ever-evolving, changing as partners and individuals, they have decided this is what’s best while they both focus on themselves and careers.’

Games Inbox: Best new zombie game, Need For Speed: Underground 3, and No Man’s Sky VR

They Are Billions - best zombie game of the year?
They Are Billions – best zombie game of the year?

The Morning Inbox is worried there might not be many new game reveals this year, as one reader is shocked by Kill La Kill: IF’s dress sense.

To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@ukmetro.co.uk

 

Zombie of the year

I see someone else wrote in about liking Days Gone and while I can’t really agree it did make me think about what games I would say are better, specifically which zombie games. While I would say I am something of a fan of them we’ve been through a bit of rough patch lately and while none have been terrible State Of Decay 2, World War Z, and Days Gone have all disappointed to some degree.

Resident Evil 2 was great, of course, but I’m not sure that really counts as zombies. It’s more a thing on its own. The Last Of Us isn’t really a straight zombie game either but then you’re starting to get into really old games and I’m not sure I can think of much just recently that was anywhere near as good.

The only one I’ve recommend without hesitation lately is They Are Billions, which looks kind of not impressive when you first see it but is actually a really clever strategy game and a really good use of zombies, with hordes that make Days Gone look like nothing. Interested to know what other people’s favourites are though. Maybe a future Hot Topic?

No surprises

Saw a rumour saying that WB Games Montréal might be about to announce a new game, a sequel to Batman: Arkham Origins based around the Court of Owls storyline from the comics. That’s something that’s been rumoured before, so it’d be easy enough to make up a new rumour based on that. Although Gamescom is coming up so I wonder if GC has heard anything?

Although to be honest I worry that we’re getting close enough to the next gen now that there won’t be many more brand new game announcements until after the new consoles are renewed. I think one of the reasons spring is so busy for new releases is because they’re trying not to interfere with the next gen and that’s pretty much all anyone’s got until we get there.

On one hand a next gen Batman game, or whatever, would be great but on the other I think we’ve probably had it for surprise reveals for a while. Except maybe Nintendo, they just do whatever they want.
Bratworst

GC: There’s nothing scheduled for Gamescom as far as we know, but as we said before we don’t get any advance warning on what trailers might debut the day before.

 

Final lap

Do we know anything about the new Need For Speed yet? I don’t remember hearing anything about it and that seems odd. I’m not even sure they’ve confirmed it’s a reboot, which would be a bit embarrassing considering they already had one reboot in 2015. If there haven’t been any leaks what’s the consensus on what the new game’s going to be like?

Payback was kind of Fast & Furious style and the one before that more generic street-racing and they do sound like the two obvious routes to go. Will it be the same thing again but just, you know, good?

I guess Underground 3 might be an obvious way to go, what with the nostalgia angle and everything, but the last one was way back in 2004 and a lot has changed since then, in the real-life scene as well as gaming. There’s a lot of aging sequels around at the moment and I don’t envy any of these companies having to come up with a way to revive them. Maybe some ideas have just reach the end of their natural life?
Stevena

GC: There’s been no clue at all as to what it’s like, so Wednesday might end up being the first reveal in a long time that is a complete surprise.

Put a ring on it

I’m still holding out for Elden Ring being at Gamescom, even if it is just a teaser trailer. Having now officially played it to death I am convinced that Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is the best game of the year and will almost certainly be by the time it’s all over.

Not only that but I think FromSoftware are now officially my favourite developer. I don’t anyone, not even Nintendo, that manages to keep such a consistently high quality of games and it is amazingly impressive. You could argue that they don’t have much range, and that’s true, but what they do nobody else can come within a million miles of.

And to think that Elden Ring is their biggest budget game yet and open world? I will pre-order the ass off of that the second it’s announced. And I never pre-order anything.
Baski

 

Virtual improvement

Will you be reviewing the new No Man’s Sky update with the VR mode? I never bought into the game before, given the price and negative reviews, but knowing that it’s change and a lot and now has VR supported has got me interested enough to maybe give it a try.

I love my PlayStation VR and things have been a bit quite recently, although I guess that’s summer for you and not much of anything has been out. To be honest one of things I’m most looking forward to from the PlayStation 5 annoucement is finding out what they do with VR and I’m very glad to know that Sony still consider that a priority.

For now though I’m up for a bit of space trading and exploring, if things have improved as much as I hope.
Cole Slaw

GC: We will take a look at it, yes. We haven’t played No Man’s Sky properly for a long while, so we’re looking forwards to it.

 

Lose-lose

Regardless of whether 343 Industries are up to the job (I certainly have my reservations) I think the main problem with Halo is that it’s one of those games that’s old enough that going back to the original style is going to be too old-fashioned for non-fans but if it doesn’t then it’s going to upset older fans. They’re in a kind of no-win situation, especially since we’ve seen that the compromise of Halo 5 doesn’t please anyone.

As far as I can see what they’re doing with the open-ish world is a good idea though. Playing the original Halo it was very unusual to have such large areas you could move around about as you wanted and taking that to the next level makes a lot of sense because it’s unusual for a first person shooter like this and it’s something that will seem a logical extension of the original, nostalgic even.

So I don’t think there’s any reason to write things off just yet. Microsoft know how the last two games were received and they know the difficulties of modernising The Master Chief Collection. Whether they can put all that together into a good game I don’t know but I’m certainly not going to judge them ahead of time.

Remake all video games

Just to take the heat off the guy that was looking forward to the MediEvil remake, who on Earth wanted a Destroy All Humans remake?! Have you seen how many collector’s editions there is for that game? I didn’t think it was popular even at the time, let alone now.

Even though it had three sequels I always felt it was more a case of the company trying to make it a thing rather than it getting anywhere on its only merits. Unless I living some weird Destroy All Humans-hating bubble and it’s actually super popular?

Inappropriate clothing

I downloaded a demo for Kill La Kill: IF for PlayStation 4 over the weekend. It’s by Arc System Works, so it was guaranteed to play well. And… it does.

To say that it is extremely weird would be the understatement to understate all other understatements. It’s based on an existing anime where school kids wear alien uniforms that give them special powers. I’m sure you can see where this is headed.

The two lead characters are of course sixteen-year-old ladies whose ‘uniforms’ transform during combat to be much more revealing. My reaction was genuinely: ‘Oh my God! What is she not wearing?!’ Seriously, I hope it’s very warm in Tokyo Bay or these girls will catch their death of cold. Damn, when did I become my mother?

I mean, I’m a sordid and dirty man – I can admit it – I like a skimpy outfit. But if it were live action, it would be porn. They might as well be naked. Because it’s only ‘anime magic’ that keeps us from seeing everything. Oh yes. Everything.

I don’t expect a review from you chaps unless it’s really, really quiet – but like I said, it does play fine. It’s an arena fighter, which I wasn’t familiar with until I played the Pokkén Tournament demo so there’s an emphasis on ranged combat as well. It feels very odd. It’s asking for £50 right now and I doubt it’s substantive enough to justify that.

Also, the main girl in white, Setsuki, has to be the angriest young woman I have ever seen in any media. It might be that her costume is giving her a wedgie…
DMR
PS: My favourite villain is still Pious Augustus from Eternal Darkness as he dogs you almost every step of the way. But I felt I had written in about him too recently and had nothing new to add.

 

Inbox also-rans

2K sent private investigators round to hassle a minor YouTuber? I swear gaming gets weirder by the minute. I mean, what even where these Borderlands 3 secrets that were apparently so important? Nothing that seems to have made any kind of splash.
Wotan

I don’t think I’ve heard of anything but are there any plans for Devil May Cry 5 DLC at all? I really enjoyed that game and would be happy to play more.
Gorf

GC: Nothing’s ever been announced or hinted at we’re afraid.

 

This week’s Hot Topic

The subject for this weekend’s Inbox was suggested by reader Tolly, who asks what’s your favourite strategy video game?

Although they’re usually quite rare there’s been an unusual number of strategy and strategy role-playing games released this summer but what is your favourite of all time? What is it you like about it and how does it compare to both other strategy games and action titles with a similar setting?

If you don’t play strategy games why not, and is there anything that might convince you to give them a go? Do you think they’ll always be a niche genre or could you see them becoming more popular in the future?

Ben Foden ‘met his new wife on Tinder and only married her for a green card’

Ben Foden met his new wife Jackie Belanoff Smith on Tinder and only married her ‘for a green card’, sources have claimed.

The rugby player shocked fans last week after wedding New York socialite Jackie in a surprise ceremony on a boat in Massachusetts.

The 34-year-old reportedly tied the knot with Jackie – who he’d been dating for two weeks – so he ‘could stay in the US’.

He also reportedly hasn’t introduced her to his two kids with ex Una Healy, Aoife, seven and Tadhg, four – who he reunited with at the weekend.

‘He’s probably done this [married Jackie] for a green card to stay in the US,’ a source told MailOnline.

The insider also addressed rumours that Ben was seeing Big Brother star Rebecca Jane and sexting another woman.

‘He was 100% seeing Jackie at the same time as Rebecca Jane and the other women,’ the source claimed.

Ben met Jackie on dating app Tinder and has no plans to have children with her despite her dreams of starting a family, according to the publication.

The insider said: ‘Before he married Jackie, he and Rebecca Jane talked about having children and it was completely ruled out.

‘But, I wouldn’t be surprised if he does with this latest turn of events. His posts with his kids on Saturday are just a blatant attempt to repair his image and for attention.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Ben’s rep for comment.  

Despite splitting from wife Una last year, Ben claimed last week that she had given him her blessing to marry Jackie.

Sharing a series of wedding snaps on Instagram, the sportsman wrote: ‘People will say we are mad or crazy or even fools, as @snackyjax and I had only been dating seriously for a little over 2 weeks before deciding to get married.

‘But when someone like her comes into your life, why would I wait?

‘The people who needed to know, such as close family and friends were told before anyone else and they are happy for me including my beautiful ex-wife Una Healy who I love even more for her blessing.’
