With 2020 safely under way, it’s about time you snuggle up with an old familiar – Mrs Brown’s Boys is back for another festive special.

Though some critics have given the show a grilling in its time – something show-creator Brendan O’Carroll doesn’t care about – it’s been a fan-favourite for years, with The Queen reportedly a fan.

Tonight’s episode, titled Orange Is The New Mammy, is the second festive special for 2019.

When is the special airing and what’s it about? We’ve got the details here…

What time is Mrs Brown’s Boys on tonight?

Mrs Brown’s Boys’ New Year’s special airs tonight, 1 January at 10:30pm on BBC One.

It’s the second festive special, with the first – It’s A Wonderful Mammy – airing on Christmas Day.

In tonight’s episode, Agnes (Brendan O’Carroll) discovers that Peggy Piper, the Pernod poisoner, is being released from prison and could be coming back to town.

This spells bad news for Winnie (Eilish O’Carroll) as she was the one who saw her old friend poison her husband and gave the evidence that put her behind bars in the first place.

Meanwhile, Dermot (Paddy Houlihan) hires an expensive tank costume for his latest promotion – only for Buster (Danny O’Carroll) to go and lose it.

After tonight’s special, Mrs Brown’s Boys will go on tour in 2020 again, with Brendan O’Carroll discussing the possibility of another full series at some point.

He told Metro.co.uk: ‘I’m happy with Christmas specials. At some stage… they continually hint at some stage of having a full series back. Just having a full series.

‘The agreement with the BBC is that when they decide it’s over, it’s over and that suits me fine… But as long as they want to keep running it on Christmas Day I’m gonna keep doing it on Christmas Day and hopefully get better and better and better.’

Mrs Brown’s Boys airs tonight, 10:30pm on BBC One.

The Walking Dead fans were left scratching their heads over whether they had seen Dania Gurira’s character Michonne bow out from the show for good, or whether her sword-wielding character could resurface in season 10.

But now all has been revealed because TV bosses have teased Michonne’s return in the second half of season 10 as she and Virgil (Kevin Carroll) search for weapons on an island naval base.

With these weapons, the survivors will be able to end their war against the Whisperers and their walker herd, although we still are none the wiser about how many more episodes Gurira will appear before her planned departure.

Speaking about her exit, Gurira began: ‘It was overwhelming.

‘I mean, I haven’t talked about it yet because we haven’t really said I was done yet, so it was kinda just talking about it for the first time now but it was really overwhelming the love. They got me because I thought I was going home,’ she told ComicBook.com.

But when will she leave? (Picture: AMC)

Speaking to TV Insider, Kevin hinted that Virgil might not be all he seems, leading to an exciting storyline.

He explained: ‘I just want to tell [fans] that in this world of The Walking Dead, anything is possible.

‘At this point, I’m just excited for Virgil to get on the map, and start to mix it up in this world.

‘I am anxiously hoping that the fans can appreciate what this journey is about to be.

‘For people who love Michonne, this will be a rewarding piece of the journey for her. I think they’re going to have a good time with the twists and turns of this story.’

The actor also teased that ‘every facet of humanity is up for grabs because of everybody’s need to survive.’ So there’s a chance we could see Virgil turn…

But Kevin was keeping schtum on that, adding: ‘I’m going to leave it at that, and tell them to have a great time figuring it out.’

The Walking Dead season 10 will return to AMC on 23 February.

Viewers slam ‘shocking’ BBC iPlayer as Roman Kemp and Craig David interview ‘ruins’ New Year’s Eve countdown

Whoops. (Picture: BBC)

Viewers on BBC iPlayer last night were left fuming as their New Year’s Eve countdown was ruined… by Roman Kemp interviewing Craig David of all people.

The I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! star was covering the event for the BBC, with it being streamed live to iPlayer for viewers watching online.

But some people were left understandably miffed when Roman’s interview with 7 Days hitmaker Craig ran over and caused a delay in the New Year celebrations.

‘I was welcomed into 2020 by Craig David and Roman Kemp,’ one viewer wrote after the delay.

We don’t know about you, but we sense some bitterness in that tone…

Ultimately, the delay meant that some viewers missed the start of the fireworks display, which is really what watching the telly on New Year’s Eve is all about, isn’t it.

Some people chose to see the funny side, though. One viewer wrote: ‘The 2010s lasted exactly 10 years and one-minute thanks to Roman Kemp and Craig David for taking too long.’

The broadcast was massive news for Roman, however – it being his first big gig since leaving the I’m A Celeb jungle in third place, behind Corrie’s Andy Whyment and Queen of the Jungle Jacqueline Jossa.

Since leaving the camp Down Under, Roman’s been seen being pretty enamored with his girlfriend, and also starring in the music video for Lewis Capaldi’s latest single.

The coverage of the event lasted just over 15 minutes and ending, of course, in a proper rendition of classic banger Auld Lang Syne.

After live-TV faux-pas, the party truly got started as Craig got behind the decks for Craig David Rocks Big Ben Live, even if some viewers were still annoyed that the talk of his new album is what delayed their countdown in the first place.

America Ferrera is pregnant with her second child with husband Ryan Piers Williams.

The Ugly Betty announced the exciting news that she and Ryan are expecting ‘baby number two’ with a sweet Instagram post on New Year’s Eve.

The 35-year-old wrote: ‘Welcoming Baby #2 in 2020! Happy New Year from our wild & growing bunch.’

She also shared a snap of herself cradling her bump while Ryan and their 19-month-old son Sebastian crouched in the snow beside her in El Paso, Texas.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6witE_hPHx/

Actor and filmmaker Ryan, 38, shared the same photo, exclaiming: ‘So much to look forward to in 2020, but one thing in particular sticks out!

‘Can’t wait to welcome another beautiful creature into this world. Happy New Years!!’

America’s A-list pals were quick to congratulate the Superstore actress in the comments.

Reese Witherspoon wrote: ‘Congratulations!!!! This is the most exciting news,’ while Jennifer Garner posted: ‘Amazing news, America – what a happy New Year for you!’

Kerry Washington added: ‘WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOO. Congrats to you all.’

America’s Sisterhood Of The Travelling Pants co-star Amber Tamblyn, who’d clearly known about the baby news for a while, penned: ‘Finally I can scream it from the rooftops!!!!

‘CONGRATULATIONS MY LOVE!!’

America, who starred in Ugly Betty from 2006 to 2010, married Ryan in 2011 after meeting at the University of Southern California, where he cast her in a student film.

The couple are clearly fans of festive baby announcements, having broken the news on New Year’s Eve in 2017 that they were expecting their first child.

For that announcement, America gushed: ‘We’re welcoming one more face to kiss in 2018!

‘Wishing you #MásBesos in the New Year! #babybesos#HappyNewYear.’

Piers Morgan savagely trolled by wife Celia Walden as she turns the tables on ‘old man’

The tables have been well and truly turned on Piers Morgan, after his wife Celia Walden trolled the presenter, dubbing him an ‘old man’ in a hilarious New Year’s Day post.

The journalist shared a photo of her cosying up to her husband as they took a break in Antigua for the crossover into 2020.

Seems she was feeling cheeky and in the mood to give the Good Morning Britain host a taste of his own medicine as she shared an altered photo with 54-year-old Piers resembling a man much, much older gent, with a white beard and thinning, wispy hair.

The 44-year-old has been married to Piers since 2010, and the pair share an eight-year-old daughter Elise – but that doesn’t mean he’s immune from such social media ribbing.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6x1MkOAelY/

‘They told me I’d wake up married to an old man one day,’ she wrote alongside the snap, as she kisses Piers on the cheek. ‘I just thought we had more time.’

Along with the tag #happy2020 Celia really brought the vibe home as she added #wheredidthetimego#primarycaregiver.

It’s simply brilliant, if we’re being honest.

Amanda Holden thought it was utterly terrific as she added alongside a bunch of laughing emojis: ‘Father Christmas himself.’

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6vQQk3HY8H/

Piers is yet to volley his reply but we can only imagine the clapback he’s currently cooking up behind the scenes.

It comes after the controversial breakfast host took aim at Greta Thunberg again with a joking troll ahead of New Year’s Eve.

Elise was also roped into the cause, as she apparently joked with her famous dad he’d also ‘stolen her childhood’, quoting 16-year-old Greta’s monumental speech.

Taking to Instagram on Tuesday, Piers shared a selfie with his daughter, as they stared down the camera. Looking all serious-like, Piers and his kid were apparently impersonating the searing stare-down Greta levelled at Donald Trump.

‘”I’m going to do my Greta Thunberg face, Dada… because you’ve stolen my childhood too!”,’ Piers captioned the photo, adding the tag ‘howDAREshe’.

Fan were having a giggle at the tongue-in-cheek photo, as one wrote: ‘You’ve opened a can of worms now.’

Still, after Celia’s brilliant post it’s clear Piers has a bit of catching up to do in the family troll stakes.

Brooklyn Beckham invited his girlfriend Nicola Peltz to celebrate the new decade with the rest of the Beckhams.

The oldest of the Beckham children, 20, posed with his beau as they rung in the New Year during a fancy dinner in the Cotswolds.

David and Victoria Beckham threw a lavish party for all their family and friends which included a fireworks display and fun games for everyone.

Brooklyn posted snaps of the event and used Instagram’s ‘which Disney character are you?’ to create the New Year’s Eve fun.

He filmed his fashion designer mum dancing as she unknowingly had the filter on her head and according to the generator, Victoria is Dory from Finding Nemo.

Cruz, on the other hand. got John Smith from Pocahontas while Brooklyn’s actress girlfriend got Cinderella (of course).

The novice photographer held onto Bates Motel star Nicola and sang along to the Carly Simon hit song You’re So Vain.

Meanwhile, David was seen carrying eight-year-old Harper on his shoulders as they all watched the fireworks display.

Brooklyn wore a black suit with a casual white T-shirt while Nicola haD a dog on her shirt.

This means she had the best outfit.

With Brooklyn accompanied by Nicola and Cruz bringing his friend, Romeo had the best date of all.

The 17-year-old shared a photo of himself with his arms around his grandmother Sandra Beckham as they both smiled for the camera.

The Beckham’s sure know how to party after having a ball of a time during the Christmas period.

David even got his own Lego set (Victoria even pointed out it was aimed at children), which took him over 11 hours to complete.

We don’t blame him as it does come with millions of tiny pieces.

Victoria mocked: ‘Dropped some pieces, Mr Cruz is looking for it, and Harper. How much longer, David?’

‘I reckon 20 minutes,’ he said, to which she replied: ‘It does say on the box that it’s for 11-year-olds…’

Not letting anyone spoil his fun, David hit back: ‘Darling I’ve completed this [much] in nine hours.’

Now that it’s 2020, we’re going to assume the set has been done and dusted.

Onto the next one.

Warning: Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker spoilers ahead!

Star Wars’ John Boyega has been causing chaos in the fandom by mocking the Reylo ship – and joking about Rey’s sex life.

He’s a braver man than us.

The Finn actor appears to be taking a leaf out of Oscar Isaac’s book by letting all his opinions loose after the end of the trilogy, and we’re living for it.

John Boyega

Some fans were left a little baffled when, after spending three movies trying to kill each other, the Rey (Daisy Ridley) and Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) romance actually panned out, with a brief kiss between the pair at the end of the film.

And, safe to say, John was not here for it.

Finishing off 2019 with a bang, the actor tweeted: ‘Star Wars romance [eye emojis]’, adding shots from the movies of Kylo Ren (Adam Driver) attempting to kill Rey (Daisy Ridley), Rey attempting to kill Kylo Ren, and the pair of them battling.

He retweeted a fan who asked: ‘Your girlfriend never stabbed in you the chest before? Weird…,’ simply adding cry-laughing emojis, before telling fans: ‘Job done ! Here’s to 2020! Love you all!’

Could we love this man any more?

John Boyega
Oh, John (Picture: Instagram)

Apparently we could, as the mischief continued over on his Instagram.

After John shared a video of himself dancing the night away, one fan commented: ‘My boy after realizing Kylo died so he can date Rey.’

‘LAY THE PIPE. I said what I said. BYE,’ he responded, before asking another fan if ‘Rey is going to date a ghost?’

The 27-year-old has been pretty unstoppable online, also setting the record straight about Finn’s apparent feelings towards Rey.

Since the release of JJ Abrams’ final episode of the Star Wars series, fans have been running wild with the theory that Finn was going to declare his undying love for his bestie Rey.

But John splashed cold, cold water on any hopes of a romantic connection between Finn and Rey being confirmed.

Responding to the mounting fan theory about the Rise of Skywalker scene, John tweeted: ‘No… Finn wasn’t going to say I love you before sinking.’

Well, that’s that then.

During a Q&A at a fan event over the weekend, Abrams reportedly confirmed Finn’s final confession.

An audience member tweeted: ‘I had the privilege of attending the Academy screening of #TheRiseOfSkywalker today and JJ confirmed that what Finn wanted to tell Rey was that he’s force sensitive!’

We’re exhausted.

Kate Beckinsale has started 2020 in style, looking like absolute fire and kissing her best pal as the clock struck midnight.

We’re obsessed.

The star stunned in an incredible feathery ensemble, with her hair up in a ponytail.

Snapped outside Delilah in West Hollywood, Kate chatted away to friends and we’re not sure anyone’s ever looked more photogenic outside a club.

However, she made sure not to miss the party, sharing a video of herself kissing a friend at midnight.

The pair looked to be loving life, grinning at each other as 2020 began.

‘Happy New Year everyone ❤️,’ she wrote. ‘May your new year kiss be with someone as committed to oral hygiene as mine was.’

We can only hope.

The 46-year-old’s had quite the year, which included a whirlwind romance with Pete Davidson, before the pair split in April.

However, she hasn’t been letting anything get her down, recently spending some quality time with her daughter.

And she’s got absolutely no time for trolls, after she was criticised for showed off her incredible abs on Instagram.

Kate clapped back at a nasty troll who accused her of ‘looking for attention’ and being ‘too old’ to be wearing a bikini.

In a lengthy reply, Kate began: ‘Are you aware that when you get the urge to accuse someone of something , especially someone you don’t know, or attribute an intention without ever having met the person, that the only thing really being achieved is revealing something about yourself or something you fear about yourself?’

Kate Beckinsale

She then went to insist women can be ‘attractive or sexy or have a relationship with your body that isn’t only self loathing’, as she urged the commenter to not let the noise telling her otherwise bother her.

‘You’ll feel more powerful, may well physically blossom, know who you are and what you want and get good at setting healthier boundaries,’ Kate continued. ‘If you’re young and fearing getting older, don’t . It’s not at all how people scare you it will be especially for a woman.

‘You’ll come into your own power in a way that feels steady and so many more things will feel possible. The people or press that are scaring you that your value is tied up in youth, or in fact anything that is not currently within your reach, is noise I do hope you allow yourself to ignore.’

A 2020 vibe we’re definitely here for.

Winter Love Island sparks fears for 2019 cast: ‘They’ll need more help with mental health’

Love Island is returning to our screens so soon for the first ever winter series, and to say we’re ready is a complete understatement.

The upcoming season will be fronted by Laura Whitmore, after Caroline Flack took a step back following her arrest for assault by beating.

However, Malin Andersson has said last year’s contestants will be struggling more with the addition of another series.

And, speaking to Metro.co.uk, she suggested they will need more help with their mental health because their relevancy will be significantly shorter.

Discussing the winter edition, she told us: ‘It’s silly, it’s going to be saturated too quickly.

‘I feel sorry for the cast of [last year’s] Love Island because their life-span on social media isn’t going to be the longest, is it?

‘They’re probably going to need help with their mental health in about a year’s time, when their work dries out, probably less.’

Malin – who took part on the second series of the ITV2 dating show back in 2016 – explained that, while not everyone goes into the villa looking for fame, most contestants end up using it as a platform for bigger opportunities.

‘I know there are some people who don’t go on there just for that, but ideally they are living off that show right now,’ she continued.

‘It is what it is.’

Love Island has previously come under fire following the deaths of two contestants, Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis, due to suicide.

And bosses later released a detailed account of the duty of care each star will go through before heading onto the show.

Creative Director ITV Studios Entertainment Richard Cowles said: ‘Due to the success of the show our Islanders can find themselves in the public eye following their appearance.

‘We really want to make sure they have given real consideration to this and what appearing on TV entails.

‘Discussing all of this with us forms a big part of the casting process and, ultimately, their decision to take part.’

Bosses have added enhanced psychological support and more detailed conversations with potential Islanders regarding the impact of participation on the show, as well as social media and financial management training.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Love Island for a comment.

Love Island returns to screens on Sunday, 12 January, on ITV2.

Lady Gaga shared a passionate New Year’s Eve kiss with a mystery man in Las Vegas.

The A Star Is Born actress was spotted locking lips with a dark-haired hunk at NoMad restaurant after performing her Enigma residency show on the strip.

The 33-year-old, who was wearing a gold sequinned gown, had her arms around her suitor’s neck and kissed him as the clock struck midnight and confetti fell around them.

So. Darn. Romantic.

The duo seemed very comfortable as they held hands while leaving the jaunt later that night and drove away in a car together.

Lady Gaga’s man is called Michael, according to TMZ, and that’s about all the goss we have on him right now.

Yes, you read that right – Michael.

Sooo, not audio engineer Dan Horton, who she was spotted kissing back in July, five months after splitting from fiance Cristian Carino.

Metro.co.uk has contacted Lady Gaga’s representatives for comment.

Gaga and Cristian broke up in February 2019, with the singer’s rep telling People at the time: ‘It just didn’t work out. Relationships sometimes end, there’s no long dramatic story.’

Oh, but we LIVE for the drama!

They had gone public with their relationship in February 2017 and revealed in October 2018 that they were engaged.

Prior to her engagement to Cristian, the Bad Romance singer was engaged to actor and model Taylor Kinney, whom she dated from 2011 to 2016.

And amidst all of that, there was, of course, that Oscars performance with Bradley Cooper.

Gaga recently rubbished the romance rumours sparked by their duet – insisting they’d simply been acting out the role of lovers.

She explained: ‘Quite frankly, I think the press is very silly. I mean, we made a love story.

‘For me, as a performer and as an actress, of course we wanted people to believe that we were in love. And we wanted people to feel that love at the Oscars.’

The Big Bang Theory: Fans brand Sheldon Cooper a ‘hypocrite’ for his changing drinking habits

The Big Bang Theory fans have taken up arms against Sheldon Cooper (Jim Parsons), branding the character a ‘hypocrite’ for his changing drinking habits throughout the show.

The popular American sitcom may have ended in May of last year, but that still hasn’t stopped fans dissecting every minute detail of what happened on screen.

One particular fan took to Reddit to call out Jim Parsons’ astrophysicist for his hypocritical approach to drinking from the first season to the last, arguing that his character had changed.

‘Sheldon Cooper PhD doesn’t drink or swear,’ they wrote. ‘But in one of the first episodes [of the show], he swears and drinks. Bruh.’

The eagle-eyed viewer then went on to pinpoint events throughout the run of the show where Sheldon would drink casually with his friends; from going to a par with Leonard and Raj when Howard announces he’s going to be a father, to one of the very first episodes where both Leonard and Sheldon are seen drinking beer.

Some other fans, however, rejected the notion that Sheldon was a hypocrite for his drinking habits – arguing instead that it was just character development as the show progressed.

‘He drinks all the time,’ one said. ‘He just doesn’t do it alone.’

Another insisted that: ‘[Sheldon] drinks when social convention dictates to drink.’

And since this is Reddit, there was obviously one snarky comment: ‘You’re annoyed that in 279 episodes some small things are not consistent? Interesting.’

Speaking of Sheldon, some fans also drew attention to the fact that there was a massive plot-hole in regards to his father in the series too.

It was well established in the show that Sheldon’s father had been a hard-drinking alcoholic who had never really understood his genius son and who had died when Sheldon was still a teenager.

Taking to Reddit (again), one wannabe detective said: ‘In season 1 episode 11 where Sheldon says at age 15, he was left in Germany (where he was visiting a university as a professor, obviously) when he was sick since his mother had to fly back to Texas to help his father since ‘the house had fallen off the cinder blocks again.’

This, they discovered, is at odds with the information we’re given about George Cooper throughout the rest of the series – Sheldon repeats often that he was 14 when his dad died.

So, what’s the truth? Or was this just one, innocent continuity error that was never picked up the show’s bosses?

The Big Bang Theory is available to stream now on Netflix.

In a friendship we need to see happen in 2020, I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! winner Jacqueline Jossa has made it her aim to meet Kylie Jenner this year.

It comes after she became friends with Kylie’s dad Caitlyn, as the two competed for the jungle crown in Australia last year.

While it’s become clear Caitlyn and Jac are still in touch, the mother-of-two has gone one step further and admitted she’d love to head to LA to meet Kylie herself.

She’s half way there, after having a video chat from the billionaire beauty mogul, who celebrated her I’m A Celeb win.

Honestly, we don’t know who was more excited about that – us, or Jacqueline.

Taking to her Instagram Stories before celebrating the new year with husband Dan Osborne, Jaq revealed her wondrous hopes and dreams for the year.

According to the lengthy list, she wants to head to Disneyland with her family, as well as grace us back on the telly again – and make some music.

The list continued: ‘Holidays with my loved ones, radio and documentary, clothing range with meaning and for the girl next door vibe, fun trip with my best friend. @ciarasherwood @sarahelizabeth_a @lauramay93x @paige_hawthorne.’

But the final addition was the cherry on the cake, as she wrote: ‘Go to La and make friends with Kylie…’

Well that’s just brilliant.

Caitlyn and Jac have been in close contact since returning home from Australia, with Jacqueline revealing she even had a video chat with Kylie Jenner.

During a chat with Roman Kemp on Capital FM, the reigning queen of the jungle told her former co-star: ‘Literally the day I got home I got a message from her [Caitlyn], a voice, a video and it was her just like “Hey Jungle Jaq! Hope you got home ok?”

‘And then she was like “I’ve got someone here that wants to congratulate you!” and then literally Kylie looking like a god- no make-up on either, she just looks amazing – she peered over and she was like “Jacqueline!”

‘She said my name in an American accent and it was just incredible. She was like, “thanks for beating my dad! You’ve done so well, I’ve heard so much about you!” ‘It was amazing!! I’ll show you it, it was incredible.’

Honestly, we need this friendship in our lives and on our Instagram.

Tallulah Willis has opened up about her eating disorder and celebrated her sobriety as she welcomes 2020.

The actress has previously been open about her struggles, revealing that she almost died as a result of alcohol poisoning when she was 15.

Sharing a snap of herself in a bikini on Instagram, Bruce Willis’ daughter explained she wants to ‘gain bit more padding on this flesh suit’ but refuses to ‘hide herself away’.

‘2020 energy is all about 👏🏻FEEEELIN👏🏻THE👏🏻SKEEN👏🏻IM👏🏻IN👏🏻 every bit of it and not apologizing for taking up space — butbutbut it also means gaining a liddddo bit more padding on this flesh suit, peering deeper into my more icky demons and being responsible for what I put out into the ether,’ she wrote.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6wswrgDo41/

‘My confidence (which was patched together through long years of grasping for self acceptance) blooms from what I’m most proud of, my heart and my spirit.

‘However in an effort to claim possession over all parts of myself, I believe I unconsciously misstep by showing images of a bod I am aware that can be considered underweight.

‘It’s where I’m at and I don’t want to hide myself in shame, but I also know that in my journey of healing I want to practice deeper awareness.

‘I am just a gentle human doing my truest best and I only desire to walk into this sexy ass decade with compassion and transparency.

‘If you struggle with any element of the viciousness of this stuff, please know you are not alone. The National Eating Disorder Hotline – 1-800-931-2237.’

In another post, Tallulah shared old photos of herself, including one of her slumped over in the shower with a blanket over her.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6w5UDhDWZK/

The final snap was one of herself and her sisters now, with the star celebrating their ‘varying years of sobriety’.

‘A DECADE THAT BEGAN SHROOMING IN A BATHROOM AND ENDS IN ALL 3 WILLIS GIRLS WITH VARYING YEARS OF SOBRIETY! heck ya we doin it,’ she wrote.

Fans have been quick to share the love for the star, with one writing: ‘Congrats you trio of sober trippers love you all keep up the good work.’

‘Thank you for your rawness and honesty and have a stellar new decade,’ another supportive follower added.

Here’s to the Willis sisters killing it in 2020!

Bradley Walsh mocks The Chase bosses over ridiculous Easter question: ‘What was that?!’

Bradley Walsh is back with a new series of The Chase and he couldn’t help but mock the bosses over one of the questions on New Year’s Day.

It seemed that the contestants on Wednesday night’s episode were quickly beaten by The Chaser.

Although when it came to contestant Josie’s round, the ITV host wasn’t impressed by the first question she received as he commented ‘what sort of question is that?’

And in case you were wondering, Josie was asked the question, In the US, the student holiday known as ‘spring break’ typically takes place around what time of year?

The answers she was given to choose from were, Easter, Thanksgiving, and Christmas.

And luckily Josie chose the correct answer which was, of course, Easter.

The other contestants that attempted to beat The Beast with Josie were Paul, OJ and Barry – although it was Josie and Barry that made it to the final.

Since the show’s short hiatus, Chaser Jenny Ryan has won over hordes of new fans thanks to her stint on The X Factor: Celebrity, Bradley has filmed Doctor Who’s season 12 – which is returning to screens tonight – and a new Chaser is set to join the show.

Addressing the ITV programme’s success recently on Good Morning Britain, Bradley commented: ‘It’s a great format, we have great fun. You know we don’t really use autocue, so we fly with it.

‘We play the game, that’s what’s brilliant about the show, it’s accessible and people love it.’

But viewers can expect a bit of a shake-up to the format this year.

It’s been previously reported that there will be a trial run of a Beat the Chasers spin-off one week this year.

This update to the format will see the five quiz-masters joining forces to make one super team.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.

Marzia Kjellberg has proven she’s ever the supportive wife by trolling her husband PewDiePie over his childhood photos.

It’s gotta be done, right?

The YouTube star was left a little uneasy at fans posting snaps of his childhood, and Marzia definitely made sure she had the last laugh.

Sending a few of the best ones to her hubby, she told him: ‘I didn’t know I married David Gallagher.’

For those who don’t know – David is best known for being a child actor, who made his name in the likes of in Look Who’s Talking Now, and the kid had a striking resemblance to a young, blonde Felix.

Aptly enough for the YouTube star, he has also voiced one of the characters in the video game series Kingdom Hearts.

However, Felix didn’t seem too bothered by his childhood photos being ‘exposed’, dedicating an entire video to putting them out there himself after he celebrated New Year’s Eve with Marzia.

Bold move.

‘Jokes on you, I’m going to expose myself,’ he said, before sharing photos of himself from his childhood, drawings from his old diaries, and stories young Felix wrote.

Despite not being too fussed about viewers sharing old photos of him, the 30-year-old recently opened up about the most ‘cringey’ fan experiences he’s dealt with.

Taking to his YouTube channel on Saturday to answer a whole bunch of questions, he was asked for his thoughts on fans taking stealthy photos of him.

‘People taking photos in secret is rude and annoying and cringey as hell because I can see it a lot of times happening,’ he laughed as he explained his interactions with certain fans who go wild for the star.

‘I hate the fact people look at me like I’m some sort of attraction, I’m a person like everyone else and I want be treated like a person. I don’t think that’s too much to ask,’ he explained, shining a light on how crazy it must be to head out in public when you’ve got over 100 million subscribers.

‘I hate the whole culture […], I’m so tired of it.’

Lucifer’s Tom Ellis makes surprise appearance in Miranda Special – and fans can’t stop crying

Lucifer star Tom Ellis made a surprise appearance in Miranda Hart’s New Year Special – and it was such fun.

It has been ten whole years since a certain someone first galloped onto our screens with the award-winning sitcom Miranda, and to mark this milestone, Miranda held a such fun celebration at the London Palladium.

Titled Miranda: My Such Fun Celebration, the special entertainment show featured a host of treats and surprises as Miranda, Sarah Hadland, Patricia Hodge, and Sally Phillips looked back over a decade of such fun, friendship, romance and all that made millions of fans connect with the sitcom but someone was missing.

But…it couldn’t be a celebration of all things Miranda without her beloved Gary, so actor Tom Ellis made the trip across the pond to surprise Miranda and the fans at the Palladium.

Tom and Miranda told stories about working together on the sitcom and Tom revealed Miranda gave him a pair of cufflinks with the initials CCS – clammy co-stars which he revealed he wore on his wedding day.

Towards the end of the show, the cast acted out a special Miranda and Gary honeymoon sketch reuniting all the cast and included a special appearance from Nigel Havers – and fans got rather emotional about the reunion as they took to social media to share their joy.

Marking the actual 10 year anniversary of Miranda back in November, Ellis previously shared a throwback with Hart on Instagram and his 5.4 million followers wept.

’10 years ago today the first episode of #Miranda aired on @bbctwo,’ he wrote. ‘It will always be a precious time in my career.’

He continued: ‘My affection for the people involved knows no bounds. Especially my dear friend and genius @realmirandahart #10yearsofsuchfun.’

Surely another series has to happen now…Miranda?

Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons ‘spend New Year’s Eve together’ months after split

Are Kendall and Ben back on? (Picture: GC Images)

Kendall Jenner and Ben Simmons spent New Year’s Eve together and now we’re all wondering if it’s back on.

The model, 24, and basketball player, 23, were spotted leaving an NYE rooftop party in Philadephia, in a video captured by TMZ.

The duo – who broke things off in May 2019 after more than a year of dating – strolled into Attico restaurant, which Ben’s team the Philadelphia 76ers had rented out.

They rocked up at around 11.30 and stayed for the big midnight moment, the publication claimed.

Was it a case of friendly exes catching up or is there something more to it?

Oo, the mystery of it all.

Kendall and Ben were first linked in March 2018, with the reality star confirming their romance on Ellen DeGeneres in 2019.

But things had apparently fizzled out by May, with sources telling People at the time: ‘The relationship ran its course.

‘She’s spending time with her friends and back to being in fun mode.’

Awkwardly, Kendall’s interview with Vogue Australia emerged at the time of their split and featured the Victoria’s Secret model hinting at marriage plans.

‘Maybe. Definitely not now, but maybe one day,’ she said.

During their split, Maya Jama apparently caught the eye of NBA player Ben. 

The Radio 1 DJ was reportedly spotted at the Philadelphia 76ers’ game in November when she was in town for the People’s Choice Awards, which took place the night before his game.

Then Ben left a flirty comment under one of her racy Instagram posts. His mode of flirtation? The classic flame emoji, of course.

Sources claimed in December that the pair were ‘getting to know each other’.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Maya has not long been single, so she and Ben are taking time to get to know each other and see if there’s a real spark.’

Anyway the plot thickens, because by December, Kendall was reportedly seen watching Ben play in Philadelphia so now we’re confused.

If only Kendall would stop being so private and just tell us WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON.

Orange Is The New Black star Danielle Brooks is engaged to boyfriend Dennis Gelin.

The 30-year-old actress shared the delightful news with a post on Instagram showing the newly engaged couple dancing as she stared lovingly at him.

A video in the post showed the two swaying from side-to-side as they danced in the New Year’s.

She wrote: ‘I never thought one of the best days of my year would happen the last week of the year. I get to marry my best friend. We’re ENGAGED!! So excited to become your wife. D&D until the end,’ along with a love heart.

Her friends and fans were quick to congratulate the happy couple on ringing in the new decade the most romantic way.

Janelle Monae left many party popper emoji’s and a few fire emoji’s.

Danielle Brooks
Get you a girl that looks at you the way Danielle looks at Dennis (Picture: @daniebb3)

We’re assuming that’s a ‘congratulations’ but easier to type.

Glee actress Amber Riley commented: ‘Congratulations friend!’

‘What a year love,’ singer Lion Babe wrote and she’s right, what a way to end the year.

Danielle – who played intelligent and hilarious Tasha ‘Taystee’ Jefferson in the Netflix show – also posted the same picture of her and her husband onto her Instagram story.

‘Might be the end of the year but only the beginning for us,’ she wrote.

Back in November 2019, Danielle appeared on an episode of Netflix’s A Little  Bit Pregnant and had way too much fun making Dennis try a contraction simulator so he could experience the pain of childbirth.

Danielle Brooks
Look at her tiny ear! (Picture: Danielle Brooks)

Dennis looked pretty apprehensive from the start as he takes several deep breaths while Danielle says with somewhat of a glint of sinister joy: ‘I’m so ready for this moment because it’s time for my love to feel what it might feel like to have a contraction.’

While booting up the machine, Danielle, who was heavily pregnant at the time, reminds her man: ‘You said you could take pain,’ to which he replied with slight reservation: ‘I did.’

In a last-minute plea, he begs: ‘Take it easy on me.’

Oh, bless him.

Once the softer contractions kick in, Dennis says: ‘Babe, ow! That’s too much,’ but Danielle is on a roll.

Not long after the episode, Danielle gave birth to a beautiful baby girl.

Bet Dennis is glad he didn’t have to endure childbirth, then.

People can’t get enough of the coffee machine that sounds like an iconic Britney Spears song

Sing it, coffee machine (Picture: @britneyspears)

It’s driving us crazy and we just can’t sleep but there’s coffee machines out there that sound like Britney Spear’s Stronger.

Hush, just stop. There’s nothing you can do or say to convince us that this person’s coffee machine isn’t Britney in bean form.

Okay, no more Britney lyrics.

People haven’t just discovered the similarities as some have been tweeting about it for the past decade.

What does this mean? Does the 38-year-old have a message for us?

And, no, it doesn’t sound like the coffee machines are singing or humming the actual lyrics to the 2000 song, but it does sound a lot like the intro.

We don’t know how else to describe it besides the fact that the machine vibrating and buzzing is the same exact buzzing that happens before Britney goes: ‘Hush, just stop.’

The same buzz happens at the 0:12 mark on the song.

Fellow coffee drinkers and Britney fans rushed to comment on the similarities.

One user commented: ‘How would you like your coffee? STRONGER THAN YESTERDAY!’

‘…..Ooooooooh yeaahhhhhhhhhh omg I can hear it now, makes me wanna listen to it,’ another Britney fan wrote out.

This isn’t the first time, as a user tweeted out in 2012: ‘Our coffee machine makes the same noise as the start of “Stronger” by Britney Spears when it’s being cleaned.. “Errrrrrrrrrrrrrr!”‘

If you still don’t hear it, the video below (with added music) might help.

https://www.instagram.com/p/BZiOtMdAncv/?utm_source=ig_embed&utm_campaign=embed_video_watch_again

Please tell us you definitely hear it this time around.

We’re pretty sure that until coffee machines stop making that noise, people will continue to be way too entertained.

One person joked: ‘So the song producer records the machine sound for the song intro? A creative mind we bow’.

‘Oh my god yes that must be where they got the sound from,’ another was convinced.

Meanwhile, the Oops! I Did It Again singer has probably been making coffee for twenty years and not realising that Stronger’s intro is basically a coffee machine doing it’s thing.

You and us, both, Britney.
