**Warning: This article contains spoilers for Vikings season six.**

Vikings star Kieran O’Reilly has addressed the backlash he received after his character White Hair brutally stabbed Bjorn Ironside’s child to death.

Remember that? When the historical saga basically had it’s very own Red Wedding moment.

Well, it turns out the 40-year-old who played the vicious bandit received a series of messages from fans who weren’t too happy about what went down.

When chatting with Metro.co.uk, the actor addressed the two episodes seeing him take out Hali (Ryan Henson) while fatally injuring the former queen, Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick).

‘I’ve received some really a lot of lovely compliments,’ he told us before adding: ‘People thought it was extremely authentic and it was a return to the great days of Vikings in some people’s minds it was one of the best battle scenes ever.’

However, not everyone felt the same, as he laughed: ‘I did also received messages where they weren’t too happy about me killing Hali, and some people did blame me for cutting almost a fatal wound on Lagertha.

‘People blame me for the whole thing really, but I think it’s okay. There was a bit of a disappointment with some people because Hali is a child – that was a strong scene.’

Explaining the thought process behind the villain’s actions, he continued: ‘White Hair, he wasn’t a desirable character in ways, but some people understood that what he stood for was the truest extent of being a Viking.

‘He did what he had to do, I suppose he was ruthless in that, but he was ruthlessly loyal as well. He was a bada**, if you’re going to die you might as well die in an epic way.’

But while White Hair might have been fine with taking out toddlers, Kieran obviously didn’t feel the same way and questioned the scene when he was first handed the script.

‘When I read the script it was like, “you kill Hali and he’s Bjorn’s son” and I was like “Jesus” you know? When you’re given that it’s a huge honour as well,’ he beamed.

‘White Hair was the bad guy and in the same vein when I read the script I was going to kill Hali and cut Gunnhild and fight Lagertha, like women and children, which I suppose would provoke the audience and maybe that’s what they wanted.’

But it seems he had other things on his mind during the shoot, as he had a horse to contend with.

‘When I was filming the scene with Hali I was trying to divide my concentration between trying to stay alive on a horse and execute the scene as best as I could,’ he joked: ‘It was only afterwards really that I processed it.’

The star added: ‘When you’re doing it you’re being as true to the character as you can, so that’s normal in the character’s mind, so afterwards it does resonate what’s happened.’

Vikings season six continues Wednesday on the History Channel and Amazon Prime.

The Voice UK has been keeping us glued to the screen since its 2020 talent search kicked off a couple of weeks ago.

From the arrival of new coach Meghan Trainor – oh, and her dad – Olly Murs’ emotional moment over his twin brother, it’s been pretty compulsive Saturday night viewing so far – and of course there’s been plenty of amazing performances and spinning chairs – or not, as the case may be – too.

She had a tough time over the holidays, but Christine McGuinnes looks like she’s bounced back and left her woes behind.

The Real Housewives Of Cheshire star looked pretty upbeat as she headed for a workout session in Alderley.

Christine, who’s married to Take Me Out presenter Paddy McGuinness, put our grubby gym outfits to shame with her chic workout gear.

While we’re over here working up a sweat in grey joggers and an old T-shirt, Christine’s rocking hot-pink leggings and a mesh sports bra.

Teach us your ways, Christine!

The 31-year-old seemed to be in much better spirits after enduring an ‘awful’ Christmas aftermath with her children.

Christine explained that her six-year-old twins Penelope and Leo, who were diagnosed with autism in 2017, had been so excited for Christmas that they became very upset when it was over.

Sharing a snap of herself on Instagram, the model began: ‘Walking away from Christmas… Last week I told how proud I was to have a Christmas tree up at home, I am still very proud that my children coped well over Christmas as they struggle so much with sensory overload, anxiety, they become easily overwhelmed.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B50LxzMlpo2/

‘But, I wasn’t ready for the aftermath following Christmas Day, it has been awful. I think I prepared them so much for Christmas Day, I didn’t prepare them for it to end,’ she continued.

‘I know many of you with Autistic children will understand, I’m still learning everyday and next year will be better again.’

Christine went on: ‘‘So now, all evidence of Christmas has gone from our home, I find the best way to help my children is to get them involved and show them visually.

‘We took the tree down together and explained: “Christmas has finished”.’

Model Bar Refaeli has confirmed the birth of her third child with husband Adi Ezra, the couple’s third child in three and a half years.

Bar, 34, confirmed the news on Instagram, sharing a photo of her in a hospital gown standing bu her hospital bed before the birth.

She told her followers: ‘This is what real GLAM looks like. 3rd baby in 3.5 years. #FamilyIsEverything Life is beautiful’.

The couple are yet to confirm whether the baby is a boy or a girl, or the weight of the baby, but they couldn’t wait to share the news with their followers.

Bar and Adi already share three-year-old daughter Liv and two-year-old Elle, and announced they were expecting their third bundle of joy in June.

The Israeli model and presenter had announced the new in Hebrew, with a clip of TV presenter Assi Azar pretending to announce he will be the new face of Bar’s eyewear range, before she reveals she’s pregnant.

Assi then jokily responds: ‘Wasn’t she just pregnant a second ago? I’m so happy for her – if it’s true. She looks a little pregnant, she does. Why does she need three kids anyway?’

Bar, who previously dated Leonardo DiCaprio, had been open about her desire to have children after meeting Adi.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7dQrx7Bbkg/

According to the Daily Mail, she said before her first pregnancy: ‘I would love to have kids soon. We keep feeling like we need some more time to ourselves but I think that feeling will never go away. So we will probably aim for children soon, I hope.

‘I don’t think marriage should [change a relationship]. I believe people choose to get married because they are happy with their lives together, so why would we change anything?

‘I didn’t expect it – I always thought it would be the same as the day before the marriage – but you feel a spark of extra commitment when you call someone your “husband”.’

Sum 41 have been forced to cancel their concert in Paris after an ‘explosive device’ was detonated at the venue.

The In Too Deep singers – made up of Deryk Whibley, Dave Baksh, Frank Zummo, Jason McCaslin and Tom Thacker – were set to perform at Les Etoiles on 18 January, as part of their No Personal Space tour.

However, they were forced to call the gig off just hours before taking to the stage.

The group confirmed the news in a now-deleted statement shared on Instagram, which read: ‘During load in for tonight’s performance in Paris, an explosive device was detonated just outside of the venue door.

‘Band, crew, the fans in line are all safe, and there were no injuries. Due to the intimate nature of our Personal Space performances, we are unable to guarantee the safety of the fans in attendance.

‘We are deeply saddened to announce that tonight’s show has been cancelled. More information to follow.’

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7eIklCFinT/

Alongside refund advice, they added: ‘We are currently discussing our options to schedule a make up show as soon as possible.

‘Please stay tuned for updates in the coming weeks.’

After taking down the original statement, they followed it up with: ‘Unfortunately, the Sum 41 show at Les Etoiles is cancelled tonight. All tickets will be refundable with your ticket sellers.

‘Further details will be posted ASAP.’

Fans flocked to the comments, urging the Fat Lip stars to stay safe.

‘That’s awful, hope everyone’s ok! Stay safe,’ a follower replied.

‘I’m so sorry that this happened. I hope everyone is okay,’ another said. ‘I’m really sad to hear this news. Sending a lot of love.’

‘Happy everyone is safe,’ an Instagram user posted. ‘I’m so sorry.’

While one added: ‘This is horrendous I‘m glad everyone is safe.’

Sum 41’s next performance is taking place in London on 20 January, before they head off to Amsterdam on Tuesday.

The Masked Singer has made its mark on the UK already, with viewers left baffled as they try to work out who the celebrities are behind those elaborate costumes.

And one contestant who’s kept everybody very puzzled is the Monster, who’s set to take to the stage again this weekend following that memorable first-round take on Pharrell’s Happy.

The judges (and viewers) have certainly had a few theories about the celeb in the furry blue get-up but still nobody’s quite sure who they are.

So just what are the clues and theories surrounding the Monster’s identity?

Here’s what we know so far…

Who is Monster on The Masked Singer?

Monster was pronounced ‘adorable’ upon making their first appearance on the show – and the blue-furred celeb wasted no time in giving us a few clues.

They described themselves as ‘bright, bold’ and ‘a big personality’ – while the American accent also kept judges guessing as they added: ‘I’ve come to the UK to grab every opportunity in this competition.

Monster’s initial reference to having ‘large arms’ kept the panel guessing as to whether they might be an athlete or a boxer, but then changed tack as they were told: ‘I’m not someone to blow my own trumpet, but I’ve feasted on a lot of awards.’

However they left everybody even more confused with that final clue of the night: ‘My hero is Tony Hadley.

So who could it be? Here’s just some of the theories so far…

CeeLo Green

CeeLo certainly seems to be getting a lot of attention in regard to the Monster – with Rita Ora guessing that it could be the Gnarls Barkley frontman after saying ‘the voice is very familiar’ – although Davina suggested ‘Cee-Lo isn’t that tall’.

However the viewers certainly have their suspicions that it could be Cee-Lo – based on the trumpet-like objects on the Monster’s head which look rather like Grammy Awards (of which CeeLo has five, both as a solo artist and with Gnarls Barkley.)

The mention of Tony Hadley has also been marked out as a clue, with one viewer pointing out that he professed his love for the Spandau Ballet frontman in a 2010 interview:

Other clues could also rest in the references to the Monster’s country of origin – with them looking at a map pointing to ‘Elsewhere’ during their first appearance – which could be a reference to St Elsewhere, the title of Gnarls Barkley’s 2006 album St Elsewhere.

Big Narstie

It’s been suggested by others that Monster’s identity could be a little closer to home – guessing that the Monster’s reference to a ‘big personality’ could refer to the British rapper.

With Davina having mentioned that one celebrity is ‘putting on an accent’ to conceal their identity it’s just possible that Monster might not be American after all – which might also point to it being Big Narstie under that costume.

Andre 3000

The Outkast member was guessed by Davina McCall after pointing out the gold head adornments looked like Grammys, combining that with the falsetto singing in Monster’s performance.

Will I Am

He might be on ITV already on Saturday nights on The Voice, but could Will.i.am have fitted in a spot on The Masked Singer ahead of that? It’s certainly possible – with viewers pointing out the ‘Grammys’ on his head could be a reference to the number that Will has won.

Not to mention the fact he has been in the UK filming The Voice of course.

LL Cool J

No real theories given for this one other than Jonathan Ross suggested the Mama Said Knock You Out rapper – as another Grammy winning act who could potentially have slipped into the Monster’s shoes.

Jamie Foxx

Ken Jeong fielded this guess, saying: ‘Someone who is an all-round performer who can do anything – and who has won Grammys for Gold Digger.’ Jamie’s no stranger to The Masked Singer – as he’s about to be a panelist on the new series of The Masked Singer US – which begins early next month – but could the Hollywood star have possibly snuck in a little appearance on the UK version ahead of that?

Sir Elton John

We know, this one seems pretty unlikely too. But Jonathan Ross put it out there on the show, saying: ‘I was listening to the clues and he was talking about big personality…look at the hair!’

Adebayo Akinfenwa

Away from the musical guesses, there’s also a theory that footballer Adebayo Akinfenwa could be behind the costume.

If it does turn out to be an athlete in there then it’s certainly possible, with some picking up on the reference to ‘big arms’ being a reference to the physical strength for which the Wycombe Wanderers and former Wimbledon striker is renowned.

Just who is it? We’ll know soon enough…

The Masked Singer continues on ITV on Saturday night at 7pm.

Louise Redknapp has admitted she still calls Jamie her ‘husband’ two years on from their divorce.

The Eternal singer officially split from the former footballer in January 2018 after 19 years of marriage and two children: Charles, 15, and Beau, 11.

But she confessed that she sometimes ‘forgets’ they’re not together anymore and instinctively refers to him as her ‘husband’.

‘Sometimes now I forget I’m not married. Sometimes I still go, “my husband,”‘ the 45-year-old told Glamour.

The singer added that she’s had a tough time trying to process their split under the public spotlight when everyone had always thought they had the ‘perfect marriage’.

‘Anyone in the industry would probably say I’m the biggest train wreck. I’m completely unorganised and a complete mess,’ Louise said.

The star has channelled her heartbreak into her first album in 15 years, Heavy Love.

She said she’s finally feeling back to herself after years of feeling lost and seeking Jamie’s ‘approval’.

‘I don’t think I was myself 15 years ago. I needed everyone else’s approval. I needed Jamie’s approval, I needed family’s approval,’ Louise said.

It certainly seems like Louise has had a bit of a reawakening (we’re due one of those, actually), seeing as she recently revealed she’s sick of wearing ‘safe’ outfits.

Her sons Charles and Beau aren’t massive fans of her latest risqué ensembles, but guess what?

Lou’s not bothered in the slightest.

She told Classic Pop: ‘When I look at other women doing similar things I don’t judge them. Beyonce is a mum of three. I’d never dream of going: “Look at her, swinging her booty around!”

‘I’m just not prepared to be put in a box. I’ve been in that box for 15 years.’

She went on: ‘I’m gonna take every risk and opportunity I can on this album, and the next one, and even more so on the one after that. I’m sick and tired of being the safe player. I was the safe one in Eternal, I was the safe one after Eternal.’

Yeah! You say it, Louise!

Despite her sons’ resistance to her new look, she was no doubt glad to be reunited with them after they stayed with dad Jamie over Christmas.

There have already been clues and theories a plenty about who the celebrities taking part in the new series of The Masked Singer are.

Celebrities have also been denying their involvement in the show, although host Joel Dommett has revealed that one celebrity who has denied they are appearing on The Masked Singer is actually lying about being in the show.

The plot thickens!

Here’s what we know so far about Fox – who returns to the show tonight – and who they could be.

Who is Fox on The Masked Singer?

Fox, a female contestant who hides her identity behind a mirrored fox head mask and matching jumpsuit, sashayed her way onto the stage when she first appeared on the show, suggesting that the celebrity might be one with a dance or theatrical background.

In her intro video, the Fox was described as ‘street smart, nosy and vocal’ and teased that she was looking forward to ‘rocking out’ during the competition, so could she be rock royalty or a hall of fame legend?

The judges were left seriously impressed after her performance but stumped over who they thought it was – and of course, viewers at home have their own theories too.

Here are the top guesses so far:

Joanna Lumley

After the Fox revealed as her clue following her performance that she has been collecting teapots for 30 years, panellist Ken Jeong was convinced that the masked singer was Joanna Lumley. As well describing the Fox as clearly ‘a trained performer’ he want on to say that he knows Joanna collects teapots – hence why he is so sure it is her. Will her be right? Only time will tell.

Kerry Katona

Davina suggested Fox could be a popstar who has ‘been naughty’ in the past, something which the masked singer appeared to agree with by nodding in response. Kerry certainly fits the bill for the self-confessed ‘party animal’ Fox. Plus, the song choice – Call Me by Blondie – suggested that the celeb underneath the mask has blonde hair, another thing Kerry and the mystery performer have in common.

Helen Mirren

Rita Ora guessed that the masked singer could be ‘sexy silver fox’ Helen Mirren. Undoubtedly a ‘trained performer’ as Ken pointed out, Helen is also a Londoner but was born in Chiswick – not the East End.

Some of the guesses tonight from the panel have been Jamie Foxx and Helen Mirren! How big do they think the budget was on this? #maskedsingeruk

— Neil Quigley (@NeilQuigley) January 5, 2020

Sam Fox

Jonathan Ross was stumped by the East End clue and thought there could be something in the ‘silver fox’ clue, prompting him to guess that the masked singer could be singer and former glamour model San Fox. Sam had a pop music career in the 80s and was born in Mile End, London, which would add up for the clue in the VT that the Fox is a Londoner who might hail from the East End.

The fox is definitely Samantha fox!#maskedsingeruk

— Donna Caffrey (@DonnaCaffrey4) January 12, 2020

Is Samantha Fox too obvious? #MaskedSingerUK

— Joshua (@JoshuaTindall) January 5, 2020

Denise Van Outen

The panellist might not have guessed her, but viewers at home and on Twitter are absolutely convinced that the Fox is star Denise Van Outen. Her VT was shot on the streets of London and mentioned that she can be spotted in the East End from time to time – something that fits the bill for Denise who has appeared on EastEnders in the past.

Viewers also pointed out on Twitter than Denise works in London but lives in Kent – a perfect fit for the ‘splits her time between town and country’ clue – and fans have revealed that Denise is a known teapot collector. Case solved?

She is the fox #MaskedSinger #maskedsingeruk https://t.co/sg0ouNP6Z2

— leanne (@Leannemsmith96) January 5, 2020

Kellie Bright

A blonde, EastEnders actress from Brentwood, Kellie Bright certainly ticks some of the right boxes to be the Fox and there are fans on Twitter who are sure that the 43-year-old soap star is behind the mask.

I think the Fox is Kellie Bright from Eastenders. She is an eastender and she used to be in a show called T-Bag over 30 years ago. You heard it here first! #MaskedSinger #TheMaskedSingerUK #maskedsingeruk

Rebel Wilson was the absolute spitting image of her mother as the two celebrated her birthday.

The actress’ mother was celebrating her special day, so of course Rebel had to share that obligatory Instagram post to mark the occasion.

And we can’t help but notice how similar the two look.

Taking to her Instagram story, Rebel was all smiles as shared a snap of her alongside her beaming mother, while they both held drinks in their hands.

She also showed off her mother’s Insta-worthy birthday cake: a giant pink cake topped with pink roses and dripping white icing.

It is probably as delicious as it looks.

To celebrate Rebel’s mother’s birthday, the whole Wilson family had gone cruising around Sydney Harbour, with Rebel sharing snaps of the whole gang having the time of their lives to her story.

And she wasn’t done there – she later shared a picture of her alongside family, as they enjoyed a very fancy looking dinner.

‘Happy Birthday Mum!’ she wrote. ‘We cruised, we ate, we musical’d!’

The 39-year-old had previously declared 2020 to be her ‘year of health’ after enlisting personal trainer Gunnar Peterson last year, as she vows to become healthier and cut down on junk food over the next 12 months.

Sharing a series of photos of herself posing on the beach, she told her Instagram followers: ‘Okay so for me, 2020 is going to be called ‘The Year of Health’.

‘So I put on the athleisure and went out for a walk, deliberately hydrating on the couch right now and trying to avoid the sugar and junk food which is going to be hard after the holidays I’ve just had but I’m going to do it!’

https://www.instagram.com/p/B6z53A8peHH/

Reaching out to her fans, Rebel added: ‘Who’s with me in making some positive changes this year?’

In the meantime, Rebel is also gearing up for the premiere of her dog-grooming reality show, Pooch Perfect, which will premiere on Australian TV next month.

Pooch Perfect will see ten professional dog groomers compete for a cash prize of $100,000 (£53,000) in a series of themed challenges, with their dogs walking down the appropriately named ‘dogwalk’.

It sounds barking mad.

Perez Hilton is about to enter the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here Australia jungle as an intruder – and he’s sure to shake things up.

The celebrity gossip blogger, 41, will make his debut on the next episode of the show, as he revealed the news on his Twitter account.

He shared a video of him in the full outfit and told his followers: ‘@ImACelebrityAU – don’t get me out of here!! Vote for me to enter every trial!!

‘You can vote regardless of where you live! All you have to do is share #CelebPerez across your socials!!! And watch all the action on YouTube! Episode are being uploaded there in full! Let’s do this!’

Perez told Sunday Confidential what he hopes to achieve in the jungle: ‘My dream scenario would be to get out of the jungle and hear that I am Australia’s new sweetheart, that would be delightful.

‘But I am also realistic. More important to me than leaving the celeb experience and being Australia’s sweetheart is leaving and knowing that I got a lot more people to tune in and watch.

‘Hopefully I am able to help with ratings and hopefully I am able to help with social.’

.@ImACelebrityAU – don'y get me out of here!! Vote for me to enter every trial!! You can vote regardless of where you live! All you have to do is share #CelebPerez across your socials!!! And watch all the action on YouTube! Episode are being uploaded there in full! Let's do this! pic.twitter.com/iZHtrr5zSo

— Perez (@ThePerezHilton) January 18, 2020

Perez had initially been pegged to star in the show last year, but it didn’t work out as they picked rival gossip reporter Richard Reid instead.

He added: ‘They reached out to me last year about doing it and asked me if I was interested and I said “I am interested, let’s talk” and then they went cold on me.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B7eGHGwhO-8/

‘Then they ended up casting someone who was very similar to me. So now it is my turn.’

Perez also added that he wants to steal some of Charlotte Crosby and Ryan Gallagher’s thunder, as their on-off jungle romance has been the focus of most of the headlines from this series.

He added: ‘I feel like Charlotte and Ryan have been sucking way too much of the oxygen in the room and stealing way too much on-air time. That is to the detriment to some of the other camp mates.’

He’s sure to cause quite a stir when he arrives – and we can’t wait to see it.

With Bad Boys For Life raking in record-breaking box office figures, Bad Boys 4 is apparently already in the works.

Sony has reportedly started development on the fourth installment in everyone’s favourite cop franchise.

And we’ll get to see BFFs Will Smith and Martin Lawrence returning as Miami detectives Mike Lowrey and Marcus Burnett, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

But there’ll be none of this waiting around like there was between Bad Boys II and Bad Boys For Life (erm, see 16 years).

Oh no.

With co-writer Chris Bremner signed onto the project, the fourth film will reportedly be released in a timely manner.

It’s not know if helmers Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah will be back for the as-yet-unnamed fourth outing.

It comes as Bad Boys For Life looks set to rake in the second best MLK Weekend opening of all time at the domestic box office.

It’s projected to gross $63 million (£48 million) to $67 million (£51 million) by Monday.

Not too shabby.

Bad Boys For Life sees Marcus looking ready to wind down, become a grandfather and move behind a desk.

His partner Mike, meanwhile, refuses to settle down and heads up an elite team of young police officers.

It looks like their friendship might be over – that is, until a drug baron from their past re-emerges with an attempt on Mike’s life, forcing both men to re-unite to take him down.

We hate it when that happens.

While Will Smith and Martin Lawrence became famous for their iconic roles, it turns out they weren’t the first pick to play the characters.

‘Yeah, Dana Carvey and Jon Lovitz were the original Bad Boys,’ Will told Entertainment Tonight.

‘That would have been a little bit of a different movie!’

Fans of The Masked Singer are still in the dark about the true identity of the Octopus, but were wishfully thinking it could be Jane McDonald after one of the clues.

In Saturday’s show, the Octopus gave the panel two lies and a truth to help them decide who was the (amazing) singer behind the mask – and one of them seemed to point to the legendary entertainer.

After performing an incredible rendition of Bobby Darin’s Splish Splash, the panel had to decide which was the truth and which two were the lies from her clues.

The options were that they were discovered on a cruise ship, they had used an accent coach to prepare for the show or that they made their first million in the cosmetics industry.

Despite the other clues (references to The Apprentice and a photo of Jason Donovan) seeing to suggest otherwise, the cruise ship clue was the one that got fans talking.

They took to Twitter to voice their hopes that the Octopus might actually be Jane McDonald (and, let’s be honest, how amazing would that be?!).

Viewers tweeted: ‘Discovered on a cruise ship so probably Jane McDonald #TheMaskedSinger’ and ‘If this octopus isn’t Jane McDonald, I’ll eat my hat. #TheMaskedSinger’.

The panel guessed it could be anyone from Tyra Banks to Holly Willoughby, after ruling that the Octopus being Kylie Minogue would be a little too on the nose.

Other options which were suggested were Dannii Minogue or Holly Valance, after the clues seemed to point to it being someone with a connection to Neighbours.

While we can’t wait to see who is under the mask, we also want them to stay in a while longer because their voice is unreal.

The Masked Singer continues this Saturday at 7pm on ITV.

Love Island star Mike Boateng’s family has released a statement calling out Greater Manchester Police over ‘racist incidents’, and slamming stories against him as ‘false’.

The 24-year-old has been making the most of his time in the South African villa, getting closer to contestant Leanne Amaning.

However, those closest to him have been forced to share a message claiming stories that are set to be released about the former footballer are ‘untrue’.

In the lengthy message, shared on his Twitter page, his family also slammed his former employers for an incident in which he was racially abused by fellow officers, stating he was branded a ‘gorilla’ in a training session.

‘We have been informed as a family that certain publications shall release stories of Mike over the next few days regarding his time at Greater Manchester Police,’ the message – penned by his brothers, Samuel and Andrew, began.

‘The stories, which shall be released, are false. Despite these publications knowing the stories are completely false, they are still looking to publish them. In an attempt to add credibility to these stories, they have turned up at our family home and harassed our mother in the early hours of the morning. We believe there is a clear attempt to tarnish Mike’s character.

ANNOUNCEMENT: As a family, we are proud of Mike and we stand by him. The stories which shall be released in the press against him are completely false. It's a shame this has become such a familiar routine with the British press, and how eager they are to see Black men fail. pic.twitter.com/baKE9zSAht

— Mike Boateng (@MichaelBoateng_) January 18, 2020

‘Greater Manchester Police have unfortunately chosen not to deny any of the false stories, which shall be released over the next few days. They had previously agreed with us that they would not comment to the press, which is why no stories have been released to date.

‘GMP have now changed their stance and are releasing a blanket statement which does not outright deny the stories which shall be published.’

The ITV2 star’s family have not revealed exactly what the stories are thought to be about, or what GMP’s statement may entail.

Samuel and Andrew went on to explain how ‘disheartened’ they are with Greater Manchester Police’s response to the claims, insisting Mike has always tried to find the positive in his time with the force.

‘Mike no longer works for Greater Manchester Police as he resigned after filming introductory videos in preparation for Love Island,’ the statement continued. ‘Mike showed nothing but dedication to GMP. He joined believing the force represented honesty and integrity.

‘Whilst working for Greater Manchester Police, Mike was subject to discrimination by officers including an incident where he was called a gorilla during a training session. This is a documented incident that took place. The officers involved in these incidents were not sacked, however relocated to different departments.

‘Mike has not once spoken out against the police and always tried to portray the force in a positive light. His hope was that in him joining the force, people from BAME backgrounds would in turn join, ensuring diverse representation within the organisation.

‘Mike was not forced or pushed out of the police. He resigned after he chose to go on Love Island. If any of the stories, which shall be published, were true, Mike would have been sacked as a result of them, which he wasn’t.’

‘It is a shame that the media in the UK constantly choose to portray black men in a negative light, thus perpetuating stereotypes, which are not representative of most black males across the country,’ they concluded.

‘It is also a shame that an institution established to bring law and order to our country continues to show clear discrimination against young men from a certain demographic.

‘Mike will eventually come out and speak his truth. However, as a family, we want the public to know that any negative stories released are completely false.’

Peter Andre has shared a rare social media post of his youngest daughter Amelia as she tries her hand at hockey.

And it’s fair to say, she’s off to a great start already.

Taking to Instagram, the Mysterious Girl singer uploaded two videos of his wife Emily McDonagh – who he married in 2015 – teaching Amelia, six, how to play the sport in the kitchen of their home.

At first, we see Emily, 30, hitting the ball with her hockey stick towards Amelia, before giving her some tips on how to improve her technique.

She seemed to get the hang of things – and it looks like we have a young hockey player in the making.

Later on, Peter’s oldest daughter Princess, 12, can be seen joining the gang for a bonding session, as they all danced around the kitchen.

Taking to the comments, one fan suggested that her husband, who she says is a hockey goal keeper, could give Peter and the rest of his family some training.

They wrote: ‘My little girl plays hockey, so nice to see you loving it too. My husband’s a hockey goal keep, you should give it a go Pete.

‘He’ll be more than happy to give you some training. Well done Emily.’

While another added: ‘Very good to play active, better than playing games on computers.

‘Kids always want phones and PlayStations to play with.’

‘I used to play hockey at school, a really great sport to play,’ another fan chimed in. ‘A lovely wife you have!’

The videos are a rare glimpse into Peter’s family life with Emily, as the two do not share footage and photos of their children together – Amelia and three-year-old Theo – to social media that often.

However, his two children to ex-wife Katie Price – Princess and 14-year-old Junior – are a bit more accustomed to the spotlight, having starred alongside their mother in her reality show My Crazy Life.

Ant McPartlin couldn’t keep his hands off girlfriend Anne-Marie Corbett as the couple were spotted for the first time since ex-wife Lisa Armstrong denied divorce claims.

It had been claimed the Strictly Come Dancing make-up artist had allegedly been awarded £31million in a settlement after their 11-year marriage came to an end.

However she quickly denied reports on social media, before liking a tweet branding him ‘spineless’.

But the drama clearly hasn’t put a dampener on Ant’s romance with his former PA, as they looked more loved-up than ever.

The pair seemed close as they were spotted taking their dogs for a walk in London.

At one point, the lovebirds could be seen kissing during the romantic stroll, both bundled up in winter coats against the cold.

Their day out comes after Lisa, 43, hit back at reports her split from Ant was finalised.

It was reported the pair – who were married for 11 years – had managed to come to an agreement during a face-to-face meeting in London on Tuesday.

The MUA was thought to have been awarded £31m in the chat, but she insisted this wasn’t true at all.

When a fan shared the original article, claiming it was ‘well deserved’, she hit back: ‘Nope a load of nonsense AGAIN…’.

She later retweeted an article on her denying the claims, adding: ‘I deny it cos it’s not true….’

Making her feelings about the situation known, Lisa also liked tweets branding the Britain’s Got Talent star ‘s****y and spineless’.

One tweet she liked read: ‘I bet the money means nothing in some respects, it certainly can’t buy the respect she deserves or make up for the s****y spineless way he scurried off & tried to silence her.

‘Whatever the sum is I’m sure it will be put to much better use & I wish her all the best.’

Another tweet read: ‘Why do people care what you get, no amount of money big or small can change the fact a heart was broken’.

A source previously told The Sun: ‘Ant and Lisa agreed to settle and sign their divorce agreement during a productive and civil meeting on Tuesday.

‘Ant made a very generous settlement that works out to be more than half of everything that he has.

‘He is delighted because it means he can put what has been a very difficult chapter in his life behind him and move on.

‘For Lisa, the start of a new decade gave her a fresh mindset. It’s been tough but it’s time to move on.’

Olly Murs and Meghan Trainor have ‘words’ on The Voice on Saturday night’s show as Olly exclaimed: ‘I’ve got a bone to pick with you’.

And believe it or not, it started with Sir Tom Jones when he asked the simple question ‘Meghan, out of the songs that you do which one do you like the best?’

Meghan responded: ‘Dear Future Husband.

‘I met an amazing man called Darryl and no one knew we were dating, and he went on tour with me and he would hide in the crowd and I would point right to him, and be like “this song is about you”.’

Olly then interrupted the conversation: ‘Meghan, I have a bone to pick with Meghan.

‘Because Dear Future Husband sounds like my song Dance With Me Tonight.

‘I remember when it came out I was like “this sounds familiar”.’

Meghan laughed awkwardly as she added: ‘I got the same thing.’

Ok so maybe they didn’t actually fall out, but either way, it is pretty awkward….

The Voice airs on Saturday at 8.30pm on ITV.

The Masked Singer UK viewers are convinced they’ve managed to unveil the identity of the Fox as Denise Van Outen.

During the latest instalment of the show, the singer smashed a performance of On The Radio, leaving us all seriously impressed.

She then generously gave the judges some clues over her identity, offering up two lies and a truth.

Speaking to the panel, she explained that she either has an award-winning body, she once toured with the Rolling Stones, or was one of the first ever reality TV stars.

Rita Ora suggested it was Kim Wilde, while Jonathan Ross decided on Arlene Phillips.

Davina went on a soap trail, explaining it may be Tamzin Outhwaite, while Ken went totally out there, offering up Catherine Zeta Jones.

However those watching on from home were a little less convinced, throwing one particular name out there – Denise Van Outen.

Doctor Who went all the way back to 1903 tonight on an adventure with noted scientist and inventor Nikola Tesla (played by ER’s Goran Višnjić).

In our review of the episode, we called it a middling historical romp which was missing Tesla’s signature spark – but that still doesn’t mean we don’t have questions that need answering!

Unlike the plot-heavy two-parter or even the more subtle Orphan 55, Night of Terror was a decidedly stand-alone adventure, with no real connection to the series’ established over-arching plotline concerning Gallifrey and the Timeless Child.

There are, however, a few nuggets of information we would like to dig out…

1. Did the Skithra survive?

The Skithra – a scavenger race of scorpion-esque aliens – were the main villains for the episode lead by their fearsome Queen (Anjli Mohindra). In stark contrast to the inventions of Tesla, the Skithra were ‘parasites’ as the Doctor (Jodie Whittaker) said that stole other people’s brilliance. Whilst it looked like the hive was destroyed at the end of the episode, was it just us or it did seem like the Skithra ship handily fled before it was destroyed entirely?

2. Can the Tardis team ever go back to normal?

One of the most interesting parallels of the episode that was never really fully addressed was the similarities between the Doctor and the famous inventor. Tesla’s assistant Dorothy bonded with Ryan over the fact that they had both been shown extraordinary things and now could not go back to living a normal life. Which only got us thinking – could the Tardis team cope with a return to reality? As the debut episode showed, Yaz is on her last warning at work and Ryan has kept distance from his friends, we don’t like their chances if their travels in the Tardis ended suddenly.

3. Should the Doctor have wiped Eddison’s memory?

Bit of an obvious one, here, but if you have a man like Thomas Eddison who made a career of profiting off other people’s ideas – wouldn’t you wipe his memory after showing him the inside of your time travelling machine? No? Just us?

4. What was the Skithra’s actual plan?

We didn’t actually find out what the Skithra wanted beyond Tesla fixing their ship, or how they ended up stranded on Earth in the first place, let alone what their plans were once they got away. What was their end game? The destruction of the Earth seemed to come around as a last-minute gamble rather than an actual plan of attack, so we’re still no closer to knowing what they wanted. Maybe save it for a sequel?

5. Was that a reference to Gallifrey we heard?

There were no references to the over-arching plotline introduced in Spyfall this episode, where The Master (Sacha Dhawan) told the Doctor that he had ‘destroyed’ their home planet of Gallifrey. The Doctor’s reaction to the Skithra Queen’s question is clear enough a reference to this revelation – a reminder for the audience to not forget it as the series continues.

Doctor Who returns next Sunday on BBC One.

Louis Tomlinson found it ‘easier’ to deal with his sister’s death than his mother’s

The Walls hitmaker lost his mother Johannah Deakin in December 2016, when she died after a battle with a ‘very aggressive form of leukaemia’ aged 43.

His sister Félicité, 18, died in her West London flat last March after taking an accidental overdose of cocaine, Xanax and Oxycodone.

The One Direction star said that whilst both deaths hit him ‘with a big impact’, he found it easier to help his family handle the grief the second time around because he knew what to say to his siblings.

‘Both felt very individual, and hit me with a big impact… I think dealing with the family, how I can be there for them, that was easier the second time because the first time I was grieving and didn’t know what to say,’ he told The Telegraph magazine.

‘As time went on I grew to understand what to say to my sisters,’ he added.

Louis – who also has three other sisters – has taken on the role of provider and father figure, something which he likes doing.

He explained: ‘Without being too soppy, I like looking after people, it’s cool. At the moment I’m stressing trying to convince Daisy and Phoebe to go to sixth form. They’ve been to private school near Donny, and it’s proper expensive.

‘I’m paying for it thinking they’re staying on, but now they don’t want to go. I told them education is important. I’m like, “You’re 16, you haven’t got a f***ing idea what the real world is.”‘

The 28-year-old said Daisy and Phoebe have grown up around the ‘1D craziness’ so he’s trying to instill in them the ‘values’ that their mum taught them.

The Kill My Mind singer previously revealed he hit ‘rock bottom’ after his sister and mum’s death.

‘There’s no time for me to be sat feeling sorry for myself,’ he told the Guardian last year.

‘I’ve been to rock bottom and I feel like, whatever my career’s going to throw in front of me, it’s going to be nothing as big or as emotionally heavy as that [the deaths in his family].’

The latest celebrity to be unmasked on The Masked Singer has been revealed as Tree took off their mask to reveal it was Teddy Sheringham underneath.

After the audience vote, the final two were the Octopus and the Tree, who had to face off in the sing-off to decide which of them would be unmasked.

Fans were left surprised to see it was Teddy Sheringham behind the mask after all of the judges were left flummoxed.

Rita Ora had earlier guessed it could be Peter Crouch, Jonathan Ross thought it could be David Seaman, Davina McCall went for Jamie Redknapp while Ken picked Peter Shilton.

Octopus had performed Ariana Grande’s stunning track One Last Time in the sing off while Tree went for Will Young’s Evergreen as his competing performance.

Unfortunately, the singer that was chosen to go home was Tree, after splitting the judges.

Fans had speculated over the identities of the Octopus, Tree, Daisy, Monster and Fox, as they all performed and dropped some clues to the viewers and the judges.

Rita Ora appeared to have a lightbulb moment that Daisy was actually Kelis under the mask, after one of the clues revealed that she had trained at a prestigious cookery school in France.

Kelis trained as a saucier at the world famous Le Cordon Bleu culinary school, and her VT was filmed in an American diner, seemingly hinting at her hit song, Milkshake.

Fans were also hoping that the Octopus might be Jane McDonald after she dropped a clue that she was discovered on a cruise ship – but that’s looking likely to be wishful thinking based on the clues.

The latest – and by far the oddest – singing show has had fans rapt as they try and work out the clues from the red herrings to work out who is behind each of the masks.

The Masked Singer continues this Saturday at 7pm on ITV.
