Love Island winners Paige Turley and Finley Tapp are set to rake in the cash after being crowned champions of the first-ever winter series.

Despite already taking home an eye-watering £25,000 between them during the intense finale over the weekend, it’s predicted that the lovebirds could become millionaires by the end of the year thanks to potential clothing lines, sponsored social media posts and club appearances.

Alright for some, huh?

Lifting the lid on Paige and Finn’s potential earnings, Harry Rutter, Celebrity PR and Publicist, exclusively told Metro.co.uk: ‘Like everything, it’s all in the timing.

‘Paige and Finn need to be on it straight away and could set themselves up for life! They’re in a great position after winning the show and could demand fees around £30,000 just for doing a post on Instagram.

‘There are so many options for them both, from clothing labels to book deals and even the Christmas panto. The pair could easily become millionaires this year!’

Harry continued: ‘Islanders can earn more than £200,000 per month just on sponsored Instagram posts.

‘If partying is their thing (I mean who’s isn’t?) ex-islanders can expect around £2,000 just for attending a nightclub PA. If Paige and Finn worked together they could easily demand £5,000.’

All in all, Paige and Finn could see as much as £4million combined in their bank accounts if they play their cards right – and are sensible when it comes to their spending.

‘Paige could earn more than £1.5million this year,’ Harry added. ‘There are so many more options for fashion brands exclusively for women, such as InTheStyle and PLT.

‘Finn could earn £1million through brands such as BooHooMAN, JD, and Adidas, but if they worked together on promos and club appearances they could easily turn this year into £3.5-4million.

‘Hopefully, the two continue their relationship outside of the show, but we all know anything can happen. I can see these two doing really well and there’s even a lot of hope for all of the other cast. I wish them all the best.’

We should mention that if Paige and Finn need any help whatsoever in spending their cash, we are on hand to help.

Love Island is set to return to ITV2 in the summer.

The Walking Dead was forced to scrap a planned storyline because of the upcoming Marvel Universe movie, The Eternals.

Season 10 of the zombie epic returned on Sunday with Connie (Lauren Ridloff) and Magna (Nadia Hilker) trapped inside a cave after Carol (Melissa McBride) blew up the only exit with a stick of dynamite.

As it stands, we have no idea if either will be making it out alive, but with Lauren’s addition to the MCU in upcoming the Eternals – alongside Richard Madden, Kit Harington, and Angelina Jolie – the outcome was changed for the actress’ schedule as she gears up to play Marvel’s first deaf character Makkari.

’That is a very apt observation,’ showrunner Angela Kang told Business Insider. ‘Yeah, there is some aspect of that that is true.

‘But I think for the story, it’s actually worked out really beautifully.

‘So I think there’s some really interesting stuff that came out of it for both Carol and Daryl, and she’s a character that I think is leading with emotion for both of them.

‘So sometimes those things that you have to do, to help out a beloved actor also work out in your favour.’

The Walking Dead’s return, in the episode titled Squeeze, was a big one – even if fans couldn’t see anything.

Viewers were disturbed by the twisted sex scene between Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) and Alpha (Samantha Morton) which is so bizarre we’re not even going to go there.

However, it’s what comes next which is huge news as the fumble in the forest appears to be setting up Alpha’s death…

The Walking Dead continues Sunday on AMC in the US and follows a day later here on Fox UK.

EA bans top streamer Kurt0411 from FIFA20 over ‘threatening behaviour’

Electronic Arts have banned FIFA 20 competitor and leading streamer Kurt ‘Kurt0411’ Fenech from the game, accusing him of ‘threatening behaviour’ – something he vehemently denies.

Fenech has a long-running and contentious relationship with EA, having been banned from pro FIFA competitions in November last year for abusive behaviour during livestreams, notably spitting on a scarf baring the company’s logo.

The Maltese gamer – who is the number four ranked FIFA20 Twitch streamer according to twitchmetrics – is an outspoken critic of the FIFA video game series, picking apart the game on his YouTube channel.

A recent upload in which he called out EA’s community managers was copy-striked and removed from YouTube and appears to have prompted the company to ban Fenech from playing the game entirely.

‘Kurt has continued to post abusive and threatening messages and videos about EA employees and competitive players on social media and he has encouraged others to do the same,’ EA said in a statement.

‘His messages have crossed a line of decency into very personal attacks and breach our Terms of Service. We will not tolerate threatening behaviour. As a result, today Kurt0411’s EA account will be banned from playing our games and accessing our services.’


Although Fenech can be quite extreme in his insults – he calls EA employees ‘rats’ and routinely tells them to ‘suck his balls’ when he scores – he, and many of his fans, believe he is simply pointing out the flaws in a game that needs marked improvements.

Reacting to his ban on social media, he posted: ‘Incredible stuff honestly, banning me from their esports wasn’t enough, trying to get my Twitch and YouTube channels banned wasn’t enough, now they shut down my 10-year plus FUT Founder account. No words.

‘At the end of the day I have never said anything I shouldn’t have. This is just deeper than anyone thinks. They didn’t want me competing at events because they were scared I’d win them.


‘Now I’m the second biggest streamer of their game and they’re scared I’ll overtake their golden boy [likely a rival streamer called Edwin ‘Castro_1021’ Castro]. When everything is said and done we’ll beat them trust me. They have money but we have numbers. F*ck them and everyone on their side.’

Fenech also tweeted EA in response to their statement, saying: ‘Could you give me examples of when I have threatened your incompetent employees?’

The drama compounds a bad week for EA, with the world’s best FIFA player ‘Tekkz’ – real name Donovan Hunt – saying ‘no-one enjoys playing’ the game during a tournament live stream and dubbing the game ‘unrewarding’, while his rival Mosaad ‘MSDossary’ Aldossary says the game is ‘no fun’.

Ozzy Osbourne says the last year has been ‘f**king hell’ as he opens up on his health and battle with Parkinson’s

Ozzy Osbourne has come up against a number of health issues in the last year and he admits, it’s been ‘f**king hell’ for him.

From contracting what could have been a potentially deadly staph infection in 2018 to suffering a bout of pneumonia and bronchitis in February last year and his Parkinson’s diagnosis, Ozzy really has been through it all.

But that doesn’t mean he’s going to retire. Oh no.

Speaking at the iHeart Radio ICONS with Ozzy Osbourne event in California, the rocker, 71, reflected on his year from hell, while insisting he still has more to give.

‘This last year, I’ve been in a bad state health-wise,’ he said. ‘I had surgery on my spine which has f**ked me up.’

Ozzy fell over in his bathroom and was forced to have 15 screws in his spine, as the fall dislodged metal rods previously put in his spine following a quad-bike accident in 2003.

‘Everyone thinks I’ve just discovered the Parkinson’s, I’ve known about the Parkinson’s since 2003… and it’s not like the Michael J. Fox one, thank god.’

Canadian actor Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson’s when he was 30 and his symptoms have progressively worsened over the years.

‘It’s a milder thing that I have, but still, it’s there… This last year, it all caught up with me. Staph infection in my hand, then I had pneumonia, then I fell over, then I had surgery,’ Ozzy explained.

‘It’s just been f**king hell… I paid for all the years that got away from me.’

Determined not to let his health woes stop him, though, Ozzy said that while, at times, he’s considered giving up music and retiring for good, he’s not going anywhere just yet.

‘I’ve thought about [retiring]. I sometimes think crazy thoughts like that,’ Ozzy said, adding: ‘I cannot retire. I love you guys [his fans].’

It comes after he confessed that he ‘doesn’t think he’ll be around much longer’ following his Parkinson’s diagnosis.

Speaking to Kerrang!, Ozzy said: ‘Do I ever think about when my time’s gonna come? I think about it, I don’t worry about it.

‘I won’t be here in another 15 years or whatever, not that much longer, but I don’t dwell on it. It’s gonna happen to us all. Am I happy now? No. I haven’t got my health. That thing knocked the s*** out of me, man, but I’m still here.’

Angry teen punches hole in the wall and screams over Fortnite addiction: ‘My red eyes cause me agony’

An angry teenager has admitted to punching a hole in the wall over his addiction to the video game, Fortnite.

When appearing on This Morning, mother-of-six Lysa Martin told the hosts Holly and Phil, how her children spend more than 10 hours gaming at the weekends.

And while she opened up about the emotional impact it has on her, the desperate parent’s son, Romario, explained the consequences playing both Fifa and Fortnite has had on his health.

‘There’s times where my eyes are red and hurting,’ the 16-year-old admitted as he sat beside his mother.

‘Sometimes I play with my online friends across the world, one is in Dubai, he’s up later than me because of the time difference.’

Talking about when it comes to dinner, or even bedtime, Lysa said: ‘They have selective hearing, and shout “I’m coming mum, I’m coming” – but they can’t pause the game because it’s live.

‘Then the temper tantrums, the screaming, and shouting, doors slamming,’ she continued: ‘It brings out a certain anger that’s like. “wow, a game can make you this upset?”‘

Phillip Schofield quizzed the youngster over what makes him tick.

‘You come so close to winning a game and then stupid little mistakes happen,’ he stated before sheepishly adding: ‘This is in the past when Fortnite was new, but I punched a wall, and a hole, and yeah…’

However, since Romario started to prepare for his GCSEs, he confessed to decreasing the hours he spends gaming.

‘This probably occurred more last year maybe, but I’ve noticed now, GCSEs are coming up, I need to be more serious, I’m not on it as much now,’ he said.

The schoolboy then turned his attention to his younger brother, saying: ‘[My brother] is terrible, as soon as I’m home, he’s already in, he’s on it constantly, screaming, he said his wifi is worse where he is in the room.’

Phil then pressed as to whether or not they’d be up for compromising and coming off the game for a couple of hours a night.

Romario said: ‘I guess I could, on the other hand, [my brother] is more narrow-minded, he sees the game as his happiness at the time.’

‘He won’t compromise?’ Phil asked, to which Lysa said: ‘He won’t, he’ll say, “it’s not fair, my friends are doing it, it’s not fair.”‘

This Morning continues weekdays at 10am on ITV.

Tom Holland stopped being worried about spilling all the Spider-Man 3 secrets and we’re proud of him.

The 23-year-old used to constantly accidentally let slip some important plot twists and storylines, leaving fans gasping, but is now ready for the responsibility.

Speaking to Hey U Guys, he said: ‘I know everything now. I had my big pitch meeting with Marvel and Sony for about two weeks, and I know all the secrets.

‘I’ve done about a thousand interviews, so I know how to not spoil a movie anymore.’

Marvel used to keep all the key plots from him but things are quickly changing.

Do you know what that is? Growth.

The star previously admitted he’s horrible at keeping secrets but he’s learned the hard way.

‘I don’t know anything about it or what it’s about. I know who the villain is, but that’s it. They don’t let me read anything because I’m so bad at keeping secrets,’ he had said during an interview.

He even had to burn his Avengers: Infinity War script to stop himself from accidentally leaking movie details.

Can’t spoil anything if everything’s on fire.

In a video, he shared: ‘Rule number one … hand in your script … Marvel like to keep everything a secret. So, to all the producers who are probably freaking out because I forgot to hand in my script, here is evidence that I am destroying it.’

While trying his darndest to not spill secrets, he managed to negotiate a new deal for Spider-Man to stay at Marvel.

Back in August, things had been slightly stressful after Spider-Man was dumped by the Marvel Cinematic Universe after Disney bosses failed to come to an agreement with Sony.

But, Tom swooped in to save the day and managed to Disney CEO Bob Iger and Sony chair Tom Rothman to reconcile and Spider-Man reinstated in MCU.

Speaking to Yahoo! Entertainment, Tom recalled the discussions he’d had with Disney and Sony and said: ‘It was a huge learning curve for me and I was very, very grateful that the two studios allowed me to be a part of that process.’

‘I’m so glad that we were able to do it because I think Spider-Man is now where he belongs, he’s home in the MCU and I’m so grateful that I get to keep playing him in that place,’ Tom said.

Disney+ pulls Love, Simon spin-off over ‘family friendly’ concerns for LGBTQ series

Disney+ has pulled the TV spin-off of queer teen movie Love, Simon because it doesn’t fit into the streaming service’s ‘family-friendly’ slate.

Love, Victor was created as a follow-up to the film, which debuted in 2018. Not a direct sequel per se, it’s set in the same fictional high school and would follow the titular teenager (Michael Cimino) on a similar journey to self-discovery and acceptance of his sexuality.

The series was due to premiere on the streaming service (due to the original film being made by Fox, which Disney now of course owns) but it’s since been announced to be making the move to Hulu.

According to Variety, a source close to the situation said: ‘Disney felt many issues explored on the show, including alcohol use and sexual exploration, would not fit in with the family-friendly content on Disney+.’

The publication also notes that Love, Victor fits in quite well to Hulu – which is also home to PEN15 and Looking For Alaska, as well as the Zoe Kravitz-starring remake of High Fidelity, which also started off its production life at the Mouse House before moving.

Although Love, Victor may not be a direct continuation of its source material, something aside from the location still connects the two: Nick Robinson (who played Simon) will narrate the 10-part series.

Alongside Cimino, it also stars Ugly Betty actress Ana Ortiz.

The original film followed Simon Spier, a closeted high school student who starts to come to terms with his sexuality thanks to his online conversations with an anonymous, similarly closeted classmate.

Alongside Robinson in the titular role, Love, Simon starred 13 Reason Why’s Katherine Langford and Jennifer Garner as Simon’s mother.

The writers of the film, Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berget, also serve as showrunners and executive producers for Love, Victor.

And it seems that despite the move around, new home Hulu has faith in the series – Variety also reports that a writer’s room for a second season has already been opened.

This isn’t the only public faux pas Disney+ has made in the last few days, too.

UK fans are currently up in arms about the fact that The Simpsons won’t appear on the streaming service as it finally launches here next month.

Love, Victor drops on Hulu in June. Disney+ finally comes to the UK March 24.

PewDiePie weighs in on misogyny in video games: ‘People are much harsher on men’

PewDiePie has weighed in on some controversial gaming topics in his new video, including speaking out on misogyny in the community.

The Swedish star, who recently returned after his break from YouTube, reacted to a video showing how strongly a selection of gamers agree and disagree with certain issues in his new upload.

What could go wrong?!

The group were given the statement ‘gaming culture is misogynistic’, with most of them agreeing.

With one of the gamers pointing out that his girlfriend has to endure ‘dumb jokes’ about how women shouldn’t compete in gaming, PewDiePie said: ‘I think that’s a fair thing.’

The YouTuber added: ‘You don’t really notice how much girls get the same kind of dumb jokes over and over…it’s so run to the ground, a lot of s**t people say to girls online. It just stopped being funny years ago basically.’

However, he went on to say: ‘I think in general, people are much harsher on men, because it’s like, “Oh, you can take it.”‘

Elsewhere in the video, he poked fun at Ninja after the streamer’s bizarre rant over the phrase ‘it’s just a game’, as well as giving his opinion on topics including whether or not video games inspire violence, and whether competitive gaming is just as demanding as physical sport (spoiler alert: he wasn’t too impressed with that one).

Fans have been relieved to have the star – real name Felix Kjellberg – back on YouTube after his month-long break from the platform.

The 30-year-old uploaded his first video in more than a month this week, after bidding farewell to the platform back in January.

His first video after returning racked up 13 million views, with him mentioning that he’d feared catching Coronavirus after his stay in Japan.

Since, he’s been back on form by shading Jake Paul for his new side hustle, the Financial Freedom Movement, a subscription service which aims to teach his younger fans all about bypassing school and a ‘traditional 9-5’ in order to ‘achieve their dreams’.

Naturally, Pewds couldn’t help poking a bit of fun at the venture, joking: ‘Yes Jake Paul is the person I envision when I think of financial freedom.’

Before the break, Felix uploaded his video ‘It’s been real but I’m out,’ which has since racked up more than 20 million views.

While some fans feared he might be gone for good, he’s stayed true to his promise to return with ‘10,000%’, making his comeback almost exactly a month afterwards.

BTS’ RM admits he was just in his underwear when he met Jimin for the first time

BTS’ Jimin recalled the first moment he met RM when the band first got together and it’s hilarious.

The 22-year-old was introduced to RM – the first member of the group – who was standing in just his underwear, as you do.

Speaking to Jimmy Fallon, Jimin said: ‘I saw RM and I thought he was amazing.’

RM quickly reminded him of the circumstances in which they met, much to Jimmy’s confusion.

‘Thank you,’ the rapper said. ‘When I first saw him, I was only wearing underwear. I was wearing it in the house. In my home!

‘He came in like, “Oh, I’m the new member” and I was only in underwear. Yeah, that was the first impression.’

That wasn’t the only impression left as Suga joined in on how he met the boys.

‘I joined Big Hit through an audition,’ he said. ‘And my first impression, even back then, was that somebody was walking around in just boxers.’

Jin loudly yelled out: ‘Me too! I remember seeing someone in boxers?’

Who is this ghostly BTS member sneaking around the house in boxers?

As we know, the Bangtan Boys don’t only play hard, they work even harder to get to where they are today.

Discussing how they reached such heights of fame, Jimin explained: ‘I think the reason we were able to get this far is because we got together to do the best that we can in that moment, rather than think about what we wanted to be.’

‘We were full of grit, all of us,’ V added on. ‘You could see it in our eyes back then.

BTS even shut down Grand Central Terminal for an epic performance of ON from their new album Map Of The Soul: 7.

The K-Pop band belted out their new bop as they used the station’s endless space to show off their best moves for the Tonight Show.

With around 30 backup dancers, BTS jumped and weaved with extreme ease.

What we want to know is how long it took to film and how long people had to wait before they could use the terminal again.

No one can say they’re not influential when they shut down an entire terminal.

Pete Davidson has admitted that he thinks he is ‘ready’ to quit Saturday Night Live.

The comic – who hit headlines thanks to his short-lived engagement to pop star Ariana Grande – has been a cast member on the long-running sketch show since joining 2014.

Speaking to Charlamagne Tha God in a long-ranging chat, the 26-year-old admitted that he thought last year would be his final stint on the series.

‘[Leaving] is a hard thing to do,’ Pete admitted. ‘You don’t ever want to pull the trigger too early. But everybody’s always been like “you’ll know when you know and it’ll be alright.”‘

Charlamagne then asked: ‘Do you know?’

‘Yeah,’ the comic continued. ‘I really wanted last year to be my last year but I’m still around and trying to knock it away.’

Pete then admitted that since a lot of his time on the show has covered his personal life; such as his break-up with Thank U, Next hitmaker Ariana and his publicised trips to rehab, he’s not sure if he’s in on the joke or not.

‘They make fun of me on it,’ he explained. ‘I get it. But I’m like Cold Open, political punchlines. I’m Weekend Update jokes.

‘When I’m not there they’ll be like “haha Pete’s a f****** jerkface,’ and you’re like…whose side are you on?’

He did have some lovely words for the show’s creator and producer Lorne Michaels, however, who he called a ‘father figure.’

One of Pete’s most memorable skits in recent SNL history (that doesn’t cover his personal life) saw him get made over as a Drag Queen by RuPaul herself.

If the comedy career dries up…maybe it’s time to hit the drag scene.

Saturday Night Live airs on NBC in the US.

James Middleton credits his dogs for playing a ‘vital role’ in his recovery from clinical depression and he wants the world to know just how important our four-legged friends can be.

Having experienced depression and the impact his dogs had on pushing him through it, James – who is the younger brother of Kate Middleton – is now fronting a new documentary that will see him talk to others suffering with their mental health and how dogs can help.

He’s reportedly working with production company Fulwell 73 on the doc, titled James Middleton’s Super Dogs.

As if we needed any more reasons to love our pet pups.

A source told The Sun: ‘Mental health is a topic very close to both James’ and his sisters’ hearts. He credits his dogs with helping him out of his darkest days.

‘The show will follow him talking to others who are suffering and looking at how a dog can impact your mood and depression.’

James was in good company with his nine dogs. Yup, nine.

He has golden retriever Mabel, a black labrador, two cocker spaniels and five black spaniels called Rafa, Ella, Zulu, Inka and Luna and honestly, James’ Instagram page is the kind of dog content we need.

James is also seen opening up about his own experience with depression via his Instagram page, with one post telling fans why he’s now decided to speak out and raise awareness.

‘I speak out about my depression in the hope it resonates with someone who might be struggling,’ James wrote.

‘Just remember we all have mental health and it’s ok to talk about it. In fact talking about it was the first step towards my recovery.’

The 32-year-old, who is engaged to fiancee Alizee after popping the question in October, has previously said that he felt ‘guilty’ for feeling depressed because of his background and coming from a wealthy family.

He explained: ‘ [Depression is] what keeps you in bed, while anxiety makes you feel guilty for being there. I thought, “What do I have to be depressed about?”

‘I’ve been so lucky with my upbringing, I had all the things I wanted. It’s not that I wanted more, but there was something that wasn’t always there.

‘The more I ignored it, the more it was taking over.’

James now works with as an ambassador for charity, Pets As Therapy, to raise awareness about the healing effects pets can have on their owners’ mental health.

Metro.co.uk have reached out to James’ rep.

How to watch WWE Super ShowDown: Start time, match card and more for Saudi Arabia event

We’re just weeks away from WrestleMania, but Elimination Chamber is on the horizon – and this week’s huge show could change the entire landscape in one night.

Five championships are on the line at Super ShowDown – including an historic bout – as well as a gauntlet match for the new Tuwaiq Trophy, and a bitter feud coming to an end inside a steel cage, with plenty at stake as WWE rolls into the Mohammed Abdu Arena.

Here’s how to tune in, and everything WWE has in store.

When is Super ShowDown?

Super ShowDown hits the air on Thursday, 27 February with the main show starting at a much more sociable time for 5pm – which makes things a lot easier for us Brits.

How can you watch WWE Super ShowDown?

WWE is yet to confirm details for a Kickoff show, but if they do it’ll be available on the WWE Network, WWE.com, the WWE app, Twitter, Facebook, YouTube and Twitch.

For UK fans wanting the main show, your choices are streaming live – or watching on demand – via the WWE Network, or ordering it on BT Sport Box Office.

WWE Super ShowDown full card:

With the go-home Raw already in the history books, the card looks pretty final – outside of any last minute additions on the night.

We’ll keep this up to date if WWE announce anything on WWE.com between press time and the start of the show!

Here’s what’s confirmed so far…

  • SmackDown Tag Team Title Match: The New Day (c) vs. The Miz and John Morrison
  • Steel Cage Match: Roman Reigns vs. King Corbin
  • Gauntlet Match for Tuwaiq Trophy: AJ Styles vs. Andrade vs. Bobby Lashley vs. Erick Rowan vs. R-Truth vs. Rey Mysterio
  • Raw Tag Team Title Match: Seth Rollins and Murphy (c) vs. The Street Profits
  • SmackDown Women’s Title Match: Bayley (c) vs. Naomi
  • Universal Title Match: “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt (c) vs. Goldberg
  • WWE Title Match: Brock Lesnar (c) vs. Ricochet

What can you expect from WWE Super ShowDown?

While the Super ShowDown and Crown Jewel events can be a bit of a mixed bag in terms of match quality and the general theme, WWE looks to be learning from past mistakes here with a solid, stacked card which doesn’t feel out of place from its regular programming.

Besides the Tuwaiq Trophy match – which is stacked with talent to make even a filler match memorable – everything else has been built well on weekly TV, and every contest feels like a big one worthy of even WrestleMania in a few weeks time.

Roman and Corbin’s feud will finally end (Credit: WWE)

Look for Roman Reigns to definitively beat King Corbin in their Cage Match to put a full stop on their drawn-out feud, letting both men move on to whatever is on store for them in Tampa, while Brock Lesnar will undoubtedly beat Ricochet in their WWE championship bout – although it remains to be seen if Drew McIntyre will be on hand to send a message to his Mania opponent.

Both tag team title matches should be a lot of fun, and although it’s unlikely Seth Rollins and Murphy drop the belts already, we’ll probably see new champions crowned in Miz and Morrizon as New Day drop the straps.

Bayley and Naomi will compete in the first ever women’s title match in Saudi Arabia, and while Bayley will likely retain the belt here and head into WrestleMania as champ, Naomi could certainly throw a spanner in the works.

Finally, Bray Wyatt and Goldberg will face off in a match which is worryingly almost impossible to call, with most fans desperately hoping WWE won’t cut The Fiend’s reign short for the sake of another short Goldberg run going into Mania.

We’ll find out one way or another…

Cristiano Ronaldo melts hearts as he shares bath time with his kids in sweet family photo

Cristiano Ronaldo turned into a big kid when he joined his children for a bath this week, and it was actually rather sweet.

The Juventus footballer took time out of his busy schedule to enjoy the nighttime routine with his four children – Cristiano Jr, nine, twins Eva and Mateo, two, and daughter Alana, two. 

In a sweet photo, Cris sits at the back of the tub with the kids laughing and smiling all around him. 

‘Funny moment with my babies,’ he captioned the image. 

‘Family goals,’ several of Cristiano’s 205 million followers hailed, while another described it as ‘heartwarming’. 

Another fan commented: ‘You have a beautiful family my friend,’ while one called the footballer a ‘super papa’. 

Cristiano’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez was nowhere to be seen but she was likely the photographer behind the camera.

The former retail assistant didn’t miss out on all the family fun though as she later enjoyed a game of tennis with Cris in their garden as the kids watched on. 

The wholesome family moment comes after Cristiano Jr was spotted attending Milan Fashion Week with his stepmother Georgina. 

Cristiano Jr looked pretty snazzy in a stylish black blazer and jeans – clearly takes after his father’s penchant for style – and sat next to Georgina on the FROW at Ermanno Scervino’s Fall/Winter 2020 show on Saturday. 

Recently, Cristiano and Georgina were forced to deny that they had secretly married in Morocco.

Marriage rumours continue to swirl around Cristiano and Georgina Rodriguez (Picture: FilmMagic)

Italian gossip magazine Novella 2000 reported that the couple may have married back in May, with an insider adding that Ronaldo had changed his will to protect Georgina. However, a rep for Ronaldo told TMZ Sports: ‘He has not got married.’ 

Georgina only fuelled the rumours in January when she described Cristiano as ‘husband’ in an Instagram post while celebrating her birthday. 

‘Happy 26 for me, very happy. I can’t ask for more from life. Just a lot of health for my family and for me and to always enjoy them,’ Georgina wrote.

‘Thank you all for your congratulations, flowers and therefore love. And thank you to my husband for giving me the best life, our children. I love you.’ 

Hopefully we didn’t miss our invitation to the wedding.

Experts claim Disney Plus will lose viewers over lack of adult programs

Disney Plus will lose subscribers over its lack of adult programs, experts have revealed.

It may not have arrived in the UK just yet, but when the channel first launched it racked up a massive 10 million subscribers in its first 24 hours.

However, now Wall Street researchers are predicting that its early success is leaving ‘little room for growth’.

Bernstein analyst Todd Juenger exclaimed: ‘Disney+ has probably already achieved its peak absolute net adds in the first quarter of its existence. In other words, there will probably never be another year where Disney+ adds as many subscribers as it did in the first year, or frankly in its first quarter.’

He went on to predict that the channel is due to hit around 40 million subscribers by the end of 2020, but in contrast, Netflix has added 167 million worldwide subscribers since launching in 2010.

The majority of Disney Plus’ channels is of course aimed at children with the likes of a live-action remake of Lady and the Tramp.

 And after they have binge-watched The Mandalorian and Baby Yoda there isn’t much to keep adults entertained, LightShed Partners analyst Richard Greenfield explained.

‘Disney will need to spend more on exclusive Disney+ content to attract new consumers and retain current ones,’ he explained to the New York Post. 

‘If you haven’t signed up now, what’s the catalyst?’ he added.

Disney+ UK is set to launch next month, following its release in the US back in November.

It will also be hitting Ireland, France, Spain, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Switzerland.

Fans will be able to get their hands on episodes of the Star Wars spin-off, as well as the High School Musical series and The World According To Jeff Goldblum.

Other shows include Mary Poppins, Malcolm In The Middle and Wandavision, with Disney+ offering a whole host of shows across Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars and National Geographic.

Disney+ is hitting the UK on March 24, 2020

Love Island winners Paige Turley and Finley Tapp have revealed their shock at discovering Caroline Flack died during their time on the series.

The former host of Love Island was found dead at her London flat on Saturday, February 15, and was later confirmed to have taken her own life.

Islanders of the first-ever Winter Love Island weren’t told about the tragedy until just before the final with the show going on as normal in its last week.

‘[Producers] wanted to tell us at the best time and the best way and we’re thankful that they did that,’ Finn explained.

‘We remember her fondly. We loved her as a fan watching it on telly over the past few series, that’s the relationship we had with her.’

Paige added to The Sun: ‘Everybody knew how much she loved Love Island. It’s such a sensitive subject, we just send love to Caroline’s family.’

The Love Island final was dedicated to Caroline with her replacement Laura Whitmore fighting back tears as she introduced a montage of the late presenter’s best bits, including that unbeatable power walk.

‘The past week has been extremely difficult, coming to terms with the loss of our friend and colleague, Caroline,’ she began.

‘We’re thinking of her family and everyone who knew her at this time.

‘Caroline loved Love Island, she loved love and that’s why tonight’s final is dedicated to her.’

Laura, 34, later confirmed that despite calls for Love Island’s axe, the show will return this summer.

Love Island is available to stream on ITV Hub.

Olly Murs has shown off his impressive body transformation, joking that his ambition to become a ‘butler in the buff’ is about to come true.

If that’s not a sign to live your dreams, we’re not sure what is.

The singer showed a side-by-side of two photos, which were taken just less than two months apart.

In one, he can be seen pushing his stomach out, while in the other, he’s looking pretty ripped as he grins at the camera.

‘Ain’t bad for 35yr old! My ambition to be a “butler in the buff” is coming true,’ he captioned the snaps.

‘The pic on the left was 2nd January! I was like “f**k me I look massive” weight was doing me no favours, grumpy, no energy, sleeping was awful so I made some adjustments and I’m actually buzzing now I’m off to get a McDonald’s [sic].’

https://www.instagram.com/p/B8_AWVNByUX/

He’s definitely earned it.

Fans are proud of the star, with one commenting: ‘You look amazing.’

‘Wow! Just goes to prove hard work really does pay off!’ another pointed out, with one more saying: ‘You’ve done amazingly.’

Olly has been recently enjoying a getaway with his new girlfriend Amelia Tank, with The Voice star sharing a sweet post for her on Valentine’s Day.

The pair both looked incredible as they stripped down to swimwear, grinning as they posed together.

However, he’s also faced a tough time recently, after the death of his close friend Caroline Flack.

The former Love Island host passed away on 15 February, with Olly sharing memories of the pair of them presenting The Xtra Factor together, and revealing he ‘hadn’t stopped crying’ after hearing the sad news.

‘This will hurt forever, love you cazza,’ he penned in the heartfelt message.

Olly later shared a post about his girlfriend Amelia, revealing that she had provided a shoulder to cry on.


Sharing a snap of the pair of them kissing on a swing with a stunning backdrop, he wrote: ‘When I needed a cry you gave me a shoulder, when I needed space you let me have it and when I needed a kiss you said only on this f***ing swing..

‘But literally thanks for the last few days, hope I didn’t ruin the last week of your awesome family holiday darlin.’

Do not fear, people, Gwyneth Paltrow’s vagina candle is back in stock.

And if you think you misread us, then no, you didn’t, Gwyneth really did bring out a candle that was called: ‘This smells like my vagina.’

Fans went mad for it and the candle that retailed for $75 (£57) on the Goop website completely sold out – all while going viral and causing a huge stir that Gwyneth was all for.

She appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Monday night and, of course, conversation quickly turned to her vagina candle, with Gwyneth revealing that Sir Elton John had snapped up 100 candles.

Gwyneth explained how the candle’s name came about and said: ‘I smelled something and I said this as a joke [pointing to the candle’s name]… but next thing I know it’s on my website.’

Jimmy then smelled the candle and revealed he got more ‘masculine’ top notes, something a little ‘woody’, with Gwyneth then pointing out that the candle ‘isn’t really supposed to smell like a vagina’.

But the question everyone wanted answered was whether the quirky candle was coming back in stock and declaring that the candle is open for business once more, Gwyneth revealed: ‘We have more now!’

Hallelujah.

She’s previously said of the product that she sees it as kind of a punk rock statement.

Gwyneth has said previously that she made the vagina candle to combat ‘the idea that women have been taught to have a certain amount of shame about their body.’

‘If you just light a candle that says This Smells Like My Vagina, and put it on the coffee table, it’s kind of a punk rock statement,’ she said on The Ellen DeGeneres Show.

The vagina candle hit shelves in January and definitely left a lot of us a little baffled, with it actually beginning as a joke between Gwyneth and her perfumer.

A description on the Goop website documented the journey behind the candle, reading: ‘This candle started as a joke between perfumer Douglas Little and GP—the two were working on a fragrance, and she blurted out, “Uhhh..this smells like a vagina.”

‘But it evolved into a funny, gorgeous, sexy, and beautifully unexpected scent. (That turned out to be perfect as a candle—we did a test run at an In goop Health, and it sold out within hours.)

‘It’s a blend of geranium, citrusy bergamot, and cedar absolutes juxtaposed with Damask rose and ambrette seed that puts us in mind of fantasy, seduction, and a sophisticated warmth.’

Pete Davidson ‘loved’ watching Louis CK lose career after sexual assault claims: ‘He’s not a nice guy’

Pete Davidson has slammed Louis CK as a ‘piece of s**t’ who got what he deserved with the sexual assault allegations – and revealed the comedy veteran tried to get him fired from SNL.

The young actor and comedian revealed his own personal run ins with Louis CK during his time in the industry, admitting that Louis ‘wasn’t a very nice dude’ even before the sexual assault allegations against him came to light.

Speaking to Charlamagne Tha God in his Live Your Truth interviews, Pete admitted that he had his own personal negatives run-ins with Louis – branding him ‘not a nice dude’ as he suggested he wasn’t the only comedian he’d been cruel to over the years.

In one example, Pete revealed that Louis tried to get him fired from his position on Saturday Night Live for smoking marijuana.

He said: ‘He ratted me out to my boss. It was so weird, I never really got over that.’

Therefore he found it ‘particularly vindicating’ to watch Louis’s career collapse, and laughed: ‘It was amazing, I imagine it’s what Ariana [Grande, his ex-fiancee] feels like now watching me tumble for two years!’

‘That felt great, I loved it. That guy has not been nice to many people. Yeah, he’s not a nice guy,’ he added.

‘If something bad happens to someone and they’re a nice guy, people f***ing don’t stop talking to you,’ Pete continued.

‘He’s doing show in f***ing Israel – he had to leave the country. You know what I mean?’

‘That dude is just a piece of s**t. Maybe he’s changed. I don’t know, but he’s not nice to young comics,’ Pete added.

Louis’s career screeched to a halt in 2017 as five women came forward with sexual assault claims against him, stating he would make them watch him masturbate among other acts in an interview with New York Times.

More claims of his behaviour then resurfaced dating as far back as 2012, with names including Tig Notaro saying he would proposition her.

Close friend Sarah Silverman also revealed she had willingly let him masturbate in front of her before, but condemned his actions and sided with those whose consent he never received.

Louis later admitted that the allegations were true in a personal statement, and expressed his apologies to the victims.

He has since attempted a career comeback, but caused controversy this year as leaked audio from a set saw him mock the survivors of the Parkland shooting massacre.

Louis also bragged he lost a career worth ‘$35million in an hour’ as Netflix specials and film roles were cancelled in the aftermath of the assault claims.

Coronavirus warning from doctor freaks out This Morning viewers: ‘A mask won’t save you’

This Morning viewers have been left completely freaked out as a doctor explained how wearing a mask won’t prevent you from catching coronavirus.

When reports came in that a hotel in Tenerife has gone into lockdown after a guest tested positive for the disease, Holly and Phil put a number of experts on the spot over whether or not we should be worried.

And while both Dr. Simon Clarke and Simon Calder reassured viewers that there’s nothing to be concerned over for now, they did admit that wearing a mask is basically pointless.

‘Would you wear a mask through the airport?’ Holly Willoughby asked, hoping to comfort people in the idea they can do something to prevent catching the illness.

However, Dr. Clarke quipped: ‘No, masks are pretty useless.’

The conversation continued, however, moments later the news sunk in with Phillip Schofield adding: ‘Can I just pick you up on that point there?

This Morning

‘There are people all over the world, we see them on the news every day with masks on their face. You can’t buy them, they’re all sold out – and they’re useless?’

‘They’re pretty useless,’ the virologist expert noted: ‘The pours and the fibers in them are too big for the virus. The virus is smaller than the wavelength of light, they will just pass straight through them, they will infect you by your eyes potentially.’

Turning to Holly, who was awkwardly sniggering, he added: ‘Unless you have a military-grade respirator, forget it.’

Viewers at home were quick to take to Twitter, where they joked people will be walking around like Darth Vader after learning the masks don’t work.

‘Martin lewis next week: “Have you been mis-sold face masks?”‘ one joked while another added: ‘Military-grade respirator, you heard it here first #ThisMorning.’

Someone else said: ‘It’s a persons’ choice if they feel safer wearing a mask, but absolutely agree with the guy on @thismorning who said they were useless.

‘Wash your hands people and sneeze/cough into something, then bin it.’

On Tuesday, Canary Islands president Angel Victor Torres addressed the Tenerife case, saying: ‘This afternoon the coronavirus protocol has been activated for an Italian tourist in the south of Tenerife.

‘The result from the first test carried out in the Canaries is positive. Tomorrow new tests will take place in Madrid. The patient has been quarantined.’

A spokesman for the regional health authority added: ‘The protocol states that a second test must take place at the National Microbiology Centre at the Carlos III Health Institute in Madrid.

‘The patient has been quarantined and is under the care of health workers.’

This Morning continues weekdays at 10am on ITV.

The Simpsons star Hank Azaria quit Apu after educating himself about racism: ‘It didn’t feel right’

The Simpsons star Hank Azaria has revealed he educated himself on racism after his character Apu was called out by critics.

Hank, a 55-year-old white American, voiced the Indian shopkeeper for 30 years before the depiction of the Kwik-E-Mart owner was investigated in a 2017 film, The Problem With Apu.

The documentary explored how Apu fuelled problematic stereotypes, all of which came as a wake-up call to Hank who confirmed he was stepping down from The Simpsons earlier this year.

‘Once I realised that that was the way this character was thought of, I just didn’t want to participate in it anymore. It just didn’t feel right,’ he explained to The New York Times.

The former Friends actor admitted he overlooked a ‘blind spot’ after basing Apu on Peter Sellers’ character in the 1968 movie The Party, unaware the actor’s depiction was already deemed as racist.

He subsequently read more about representation and listened to seminars about racism, which prompted him to resign from the long-running cartoon.

The Simpsons writers continued to defend Apu, but were ‘very sympathetic’ towards Hank’s decision.

As for the future of Apu, he could return with another actor behind the role.

Last year creator Matt Groening stressed the Springfield resident would stay on the show, regardless of the backlash.

‘We love Apu. We’re proud of Apu,’ Matt told a young fan during Disney’s D23 Expo in August, as reported by Variety.

Executive producer Al Jean said: ‘Some people are offended by the character and I take that very seriously. Others really love the character. It’s a difficult choice.

‘I don’t want to offend people but we also want to be funny. We don’t want to be totally politically correct. That has never been us. It’s given us a lot of thought.’

The Simpsons is available to stream on Disney+ in the US. Don’t even speak to The Simpsons fans about Disney+ UK.
