New Netflix dating show Love Is Blind has sent fans into a spin, eagerly trying to find out which couples made it past their wedding day and are still together.

And, ahead of the finale on Thursday, it has been confirmed Jessica Batten, Matthew Barnett and co will be popping up for a much-needed reunion.

This means we can see exactly what went down after they did (or didn’t) say their ‘I dos’.

The official Netflix US Twitter account announced the news, telling us all: ‘The final episode of Love Is Blind premieres tomorrow! But the story doesn’t end there…

‘On March 5, all your burning questions will be answered in a can’t-miss reunion special hosted by Vanessa and Nick Lachey.’

Alongside this, they blessed us with a picture of the dating show stars from the reunion – which means we’ll be analysing the expression on Barnett’s face for the next week at least.


Bring it on.

Ahead of the finale, we’ve also been given a first look at Cameron Hamilton and Lauren Speed sharing their vows on their big day.

And it’s honestly enough to make anyone break down in tears.

An emotional Cameron says: ‘Every day that we’ve spent together has been a blessing to me. There’s so much I love about you.

‘I’m sorry I’m crying!’ he added as he started to weep in front of the congregation.

Lauren helpfully wiped away his tears, joking: ‘That’s okay! I’ve been crying all day.’

‘You made me want to be a better man,’ he continued after gathering himself once more.

‘You’re everything I need in a partner. I feel very blessed to have you in my life.’

Unfortunately, it’s already not looking good for two couples – who have decided to unfollow each other on Instagram.

Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix now.

Black Panther’s Letitia Wright to star in thriller about real-life Silent Twins June and Jennifer Gibbons

Black Panther star Letitia Wright has reportedly been signed up to star in The Silent Twins, a thriller based on the true story of June and Jennifer Gibbons.

The movie, which will be helmed by Polish director Agnieszka Smoczynska will follow the real life story of a pair of identical twins, originally from Barbados but who grew up in Wales.

They became known as The Silent Twins as they refused to communicate with anyone but each other, and ended up in Broadmoor Hospital after they turned to crime.

Jennifer and June spent 11 years in Broadmoor where they were studied by doctors and psychologists, but the pair would still only communicate with each other and became catatonic when separated.

They had a long-standing agreement that if one of them died, the other should begin to speak and to live a normal life – but the circumstances surrounding Jennifer’s death were equally as mysterious.

When they were transferred from Broadmoor to another clinic in 1993, they made the decision that Jennifer should sacrifice her life.

Upon arrival at the Caswell Clinic in Wales, Jennifer was unconscious, and she soon died of acute myocarditis, a sudden inflammation of the heart, despite there being no evidence of drugs or poison in her system.

June is still alive and living near her parents in West Wales, and is no longer monitored by psychiatric services and has tried to put the past behind her, but has previously given interviews about her story.

As well as Letitia, The Long Song’s Tamara Lawrance has also joined the cast, with the script being based on the book, The Silent Twins, by investigative journalist Marjorie Wallace.

The drama will begin shooting in April, but is not the first time the girls’ story has been covered on-screen.


The Gibbons sisters were the subject of a 1986 documentary, as well as a follow up in 1994, called Silent Twin – Without My Shadow after Jennifer’s death.

There is currently no word on a release date for the film.

Man cleans toilet with wife’s toothbrush after finding out she cheated – and didn’t tell her for five days

Married At First Sight
This guy cleaned the toilet with his wife’s toothbrush…then he put on this shirt

So in some rather wild scenes from Australia, a Married At First Sight contestant has used his new wife’s toothbrush to clean actual poo from the toilet because she kissed another contestant on the show.

Um, WTF?

The, er, you-know-what, hit the fan (or, rather, the brush) when David Cannon caught wind of his new ‘wife’ Hayley Vernon kissing another groom, Michael Goonan, on this wild reality show you must get across ASAP.

Michael is ‘married’ to Stacey Hampton, if you wanted some more backstory.

Anyway, in an act of revenge, instead of calmly talking about this like a normal person, seeing as, you know, you want to make this ‘marriage’ work, David took Hayley’s toothbrush and proceeded to clean some very real poo from the porcelain that the toilet’s flush didn’t grab.

In leaked footage, he then gave the brush a quick swirl under the water – because you can’t leave too prominent pieces of poo on the brush, she’ll totally find out – and he put it back in the holder.

FIVE DAYS!

Poor Hayley, cheater or not, had been using a poo-ey brush for five days.

‘About three days after the cheating scandal happens, I’ve heard nothing from Hayley and I’m in a really dark place … I still had her room key, and that’s when I did something really childish,’ David said this week on the Not Here To Make Friends podcast. ‘I knew she liked her equal in her coffee so I flogged that, I knew she liked clothes folded in a certain way, then while I was getting my toiletries out of the room, that’s when the whole toothbrush incident happens.’

Dishing all, David went rogue and admitted he’d used her toothbrush as a toilet cleaner – and didn’t tell Hayley for five whole days.

He said: ‘She would go to the toilet without cleaning up after herself. not very lady like. I wasn’t a fan of the … what she would leave on the toilet bowl, so that’s when I grabbed the toothbrush and scrubbed the toilet with it.

In happier times… (Picture: Nine)

‘She used it for five days. It’s her own poo, it’s her own bacteria in her own body so it’s not going to hurt her.’

Alright mate, whatever makes you feel better.

On Tuesday night’s episode down under David shot a home video that made it onto the show in which he filmed himself doing the deed.

Oh yes, he filmed the thing.

Following the act, production was shut down for two weeks, with the reunion dinner – which aired on Wednesday – giving Hayley a chance to speak her mind about the horrific incident.

In dramatic scenes, she whipped out the brush and waved it around the dinner table for all the other MAFS contestants to see and gasp and lose their appetite over.

Ahead of the episode, Hayley had told Hit FM: ‘No one else lashed out like that, and everyone else was under the same stress. He did one of the most repulsive things in the show’s history, and I’d say that’s bordering on abuse.

‘I don’t really want to revisit it.’

But seems this is most definitely being revisited on the telly.

David did say he was ‘ashamed’ of himself for the act, so at least we’ve got some personal growth coming from such a grim TV moment.

Look, we do not condone cheating but we also don’t condone using someone else’s toothbrush to clean up poo. Even if it is their own.

Love Island star Callum Jones jokes he’s ‘dragged Molly Smith out’ in Manchester as they bring their villa romance to home soil

Love Island stars Callum Jones and Molly Smith are still going strong, despite being booted from the villa just days before the show’s final.

Callum had been an OG in the villa this winter series, while Molly caused a stir when she caught the scaffolder’s eye in Casa Amor, prompting him to then go on and break Shaughna Phillips’ heart (and the entire nation’s) when he dumped her for his new squeeze.

He said he felt more himself around Molly and it was pretty ideal when the couple learned they only live around the corner from each other back in Manchester.

So, it’s no surprise then that Callum and Molly looked like the cats that got the cream, when they headed out in their hometown for a date night with some of their fellow islanders.

The couple hit up Menagerie restaurant in Manchester’s city centre, with Callum joking on Instagram that he’d managed to ‘drag’ his new missus out for the night.

While he kept it cool in grey jeans and a black printed t-shirt, Molly made sure Callum’s head wouldn’t be turning, as she was dressed to impress in a white tie-up top and matching trousers.

Sporting all the glam and heels to boot, Molly held on tightly to Callum’s hand as they stepped out together.

They spent the night eating all the food and seemingly drinking all the shots with just a handful of the Love Island 2020 cast – Jamie Clayton, Eva Zapico, Jordan Waobikeze, Rebecca Gormley and Biggs.

Callum and Molly had finished sixth on the series, with his dumping of Shaughna – who he’d been coupled up with from the start – hot topic on his exit.

While Shaughna slammed Callum for being ‘false’ with her and not going about things the ‘right way’ during his time in Casa Amor, Callum admitted he wasn’t really ‘thinking’ about his ex while cracking on with Molly.

‘I never thought that deep into it. I thought I’ll just chill out and enjoy,’ he said on the show.

‘As bad as it sounds, I didn’t really think about anything else. I knew I was happy, so I just went with that decision.’

‘It’s not nice for Shaughna. At the end of the day, we were all in there to find something and I’ve found it… it’s what I was feeling at the time and I’m happy.’

Following the final dates of the series, Mike Boateng and Priscilla Anyabu were booted from the show.

That left just four couples in the final, with Paige Turley and Finley Tapp being crowned the winners during Love Island’s live final hosted out in South Africa.

Siannise Fudge and Luke Trotman finished in second place, while Luke Mabbott and Demi Jones took third and Jess Gale and Ched Uzor came in fourth.

Touching on their win, the couple, who are set to make millions following their time in the villa, said that knowing they were the public’s number one pair is ‘surreal’.

Finn joked: ‘We just sat looking at each other and started laughing – how did we blag this?’

Orange Is The New Black star Laura Prepon has confirmed the birth of her second child, posting a gorgeous photo of her kissing the little one’s hand.

She shared the image on social media, telling her followers: ‘Welcoming home our new bundle of love. Overwhelmed with gratitude.’

Laura, 39, who stars as Alex Vause in OITNB, revealed she had given birth just a day after telling her followers she was going on ‘maternity leave’ from her YouTube channel for a while.

She told her fans: ‘Hey guys, I am going on maternity leave. This little bun in the oven is cooked and will be joining us any day now.

‘So I’m not going to be posting videos on YouTube for three to four weeks, I will still be active a little bit on social media.’

However, it looks like she didn’t get to spend long on her maternity leave before the little one made an appearance, as she shared her happy news on Wednesday.

She shared a photo of her cradling the newborn as she kissed its little hand, and fans flooded her comments with good wishes for the whole family.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B4AGCuEBXT1/

Laura had announced the pregnancy in October, sharing a photo with her two-year-old daughter Ella, telling her followers: ‘We are so excited to announce that our family is growing. Life is beautiful! #knockedup’.

Laura and her husband, Ben Foster, have been married since 2018 and the two actors live together in New York.

She previously revealed that she got involved with directing after becoming a mother, but realised working on set was far less stress than looking after a little person.

Laura told IBTIMES : ‘I feel like the thing that really actually changed my directing was becoming a mother, truthfully.

‘For me, after becoming a mother, you’re so terrified and stressed out about protecting this little being that you’re obsessed with and that you love. And there was a lot of stress around that because I just didn’t know as a first-time mom.

‘So when I directed after that I was like, “I know what real stress is now.” I know what it actually means to be stressed and scared about keeping this little baby safe.’

She also previously opened up about the challenges of balancing a career and being a mum, explaining: ‘Ben and I are really great about if I’m at work, he’s [at home], and if he’s at work, I’m [at home].

‘[But] I do feel guilty, and I just know that she’d be proud if she knew. I’ve talked to a bunch of women [asking], “How do you do this?” And they’re just like, “There’s really no solution. You just do it.”‘

Sony had a ‘wonderful idea’ for carrying on Spider-Man outside the Marvel Cinematic Universe if they could reach a deal with Disney.

Last year Spider-Man’s place in the Marvel Cinematic Universe was uncertain after Disney bosses failed to come to an agreement with Sony.

Cue widespread fan outrage with some threatening to boycott Sony as it looked likely that the web-slinger would have to duck out of the MCU.

Thankfully the two studios decided to play nice and it was announced that Marvel Studios’ Kevin Feige would take the helm of a third Spidey movie, starring Tom Holland.

But the actor says all would not have been lost if they failed to strike a deal.

He told MTV International: ‘The future of Spider-Man was still very bright with Sony we had a really, really wonderful idea of how we could sort of transition into a Spider-Man without the MCU.

‘Tom Rothman and Amy Pascal were really confident they were going to do justice and make a film that was the calibre that Spider-Man requires.’

The actor added that he was happy to have played some part in keeping the friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man where he belongs.

Tom went on: ‘I’m really glad to be back in the MCU and to have the team back together because I kind of feel that’s where he belongs now.

‘I’m really grateful that Bob Iger and Tom Rothman allowed me to be a part of the process of bringing him home. It was a pretty cool experience and also the best bragging rights ever: I saved Spider-Man.’

The latest Spider-Man movie, Far From Home, released in 2019, followed Peter Parker (Holland) after the devastating events of Avengers: Endgame.

Macaulay Culkin will be joining the star-studded cast for season 10 of American Horror Story.

Series creator Ryan Murphy has finally put AHS fans out of their misery as on Wednesday he dropped the full cast list for the upcoming series, which will see the return of Sarah Paulson and Evan Peters – and Home Alone star Macaulay will also be making an appearance.

Sarah, who’s starred in every series since the first, but skipped on last year’s slasher-inspired 1984, recently confirmed her return to the show.

‘I did ask Ryan if the question was asked to me, could I say that I was coming back, and he said “yes you could say”,’ Paulson revealed to Deadline.

‘So, yes,’ she added. ‘I will be back on American Horror Story.’

When asked if she would be returning to the show in a full-time capacity as a main cast member, the 45-year-old would only say: ‘I should hope so.’

Throughout her tenure on the show, Sarah has played a psychic, a journalist, a witch, a two-headed twin, and a junkie ghost – so you can’t say she doesn’t get to stretch her acting muscles.

It was also announced that the hit horror-anthology had been renewed for three more seasons by home channel FX.

Speaking about the decision, John Landgraf, FX Networks and Productions chairman, confirmed the news at the Television Critics Association and said: ‘Ryan [Murphy] and Brad [Falchuk] are the undisputed masters of horror TV, having created the anthological limited series with American Horror Story and sustaining its success for nearly a decade as FX’s highest-rated series.’

‘We are grateful to them and Dana Walden and our studio partners for committing to another three years.’

Ryan had previously hinted that the show could end in season 10 – telling Variety: ‘The 10th is the last season that’s ordered but John [Gray, supervising producer] and I said around season five, this is something that is so beloved that maybe it could keep ongoing.

‘And now in its ninth season, in terms of worldwide… it’s one of the most popular shows in the world, so I will continue to have an appetite to do it as long as John wants to do it.’

American Horror Story returns in 2020 to FX

BBC documentary Child Of Our Time is officially returning to our screens.

The show – presented by Professor Robert Winston – followed the development of 25 children who were born in 2000, from the very moment they arrived, through their childhood and up until their teen years.

And we’ll be given an update on how the gang are doing in 2020.

BBC Two confirmed the upcoming special will be focusing on three of the children – Eve, Jamie and Rhianna – exploring how they have come to terms with being the first generation of 21st century Britain.

The trio are set to share their honest reactions to starting school, going through their turbulent teenage years and how they manage to find friends.

And they are set to reflect on how rebellion, family tension, and bereavement have helped shape the adults they have become.

A host of other Child Of Our Time stars will also be sharing their own memories of growing up over the last two decades – as they celebrate their 20th birthday.

The documentary comes at a tragic time, after star Parys Lapper sadly died in August, last year, aged 19.

Mum Alison Lapper broke down following his death, in an emotional appearance on This Morning.

In a tearful interview on This Morning, she told Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield: ‘All I want is my boy back and I can’t, that’s what I really want, so what can I do now?

‘This is a parent’s worse nightmare and it’s hell.’

‘People say, “how do you feel?” And I don’t know how I feel, I feel numb and devastated and I don’t know…

‘He was my boy, he was a man but he was a young man and I don’t have that any more. He still had a lot to give.’

It is not yet known if the Child Of Our Time will pay tribute to Parys.

Child Of Our Time airs on BBC Two, at 9pm, on 11 March.

Adventure writer Clive Cussler has died aged 88.

The thrill-seeking author, who wove his own personal details and fanciful fantasies into his books about underwater explorer Dirk Pitt, died on Monday, as confirmed by his family.

In a tweet posted to Cussler’s account today, his wife Janet wrote: ‘It is with a heavy heart that I share the sad news that my husband Clive passed away Mon.

‘It has been a privilege to share in his life. I want to thank you his fans & friends for all the support.

‘He was the kindest most gentle man I ever met.I know, his adventures will continue.’

Cussler died at his home in Scottsdale, Arizona, with Alexis Welby, spokeswoman for publisher Penguin Random House, also confirming the news.

The cause was not disclosed.

The best-selling author penned 25 books in the Dirk Pitt adventure series, including Sahara – which became a film starring Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz – and Raise the Titanic.

He once claimed to have sold more than 100 million copies of his novels in total, with his books being translated into 40 languages.

The Illinois-born author was known for his daring tales that dispatched Pitt and pal Al Giordino on exotic missions involving shipwrecks, treachery, espionage and beautiful women, in popular works including Cyclops, and Night Probe!.

Sahara
Matthew McConaughey starred in 2005’s Sahara

While in Sahara, which grossed $119million (£92m) at the box office when it was released in 2005, a race across the desert somehow leads to new information about the assassination of Abraham Lincoln.

Cussler had claimed his worldwide sales topped 100 million copies, however in a legal battle with Crusader Entertainment, which alleged he had misrepresented his popularity, it was determined the number was closer to 40 million.

In 2007, a Los Angeles jury awarded Crusader $5m (£3.8m) but also ordered that Cussler receive $8.5m (£6.5m) because the film company only adapted one of the two books it had agreed to produce, being Sahara.

In recent years, Cussler began working with co-authors and collaborated with his son on Poseidon’s Arrow, Crescent Dawn and Arctic Drift.

In real life he was just as much into the adventure, having founded his own National Underwater and Marine Agency. He participated in dozens of searches for old ships, including one that turned up a steamship belonging to Cornelius Vanderbilt.

In 1955, he married Barbara Knight, with whom he had three children, Teri, Dirk (who is named after his famous character), and Dayna.

They were together for nearly 50 years until her death in 2003. He later married Janet Horvath.

Dancing On Ice contestant Ian ‘H’ Watkins gave fans a bit of an eyeful on Twitter as he posted a cheeky snap of his bum on social media.

After a fan said H was their first celebrity crush, they shared a snap of the Steps star from back in the day (complete with his curtains) laying naked on his front from an old shoot.

H responded to the pic, writing: ‘Butter wouldn’t melt…..’

Another fan wrote back: ‘That weren’t yesterday, lad’, referencing how many years ago the picture was likely to have been taken.

H was quick to prove he’s been doing his squats religiously since that photo was taken, in order to maintain his posterior as he posted an updated version of the photo in reply.

He added: ‘No, but this was a few weeks ago Winking face #ButterWouldntMelt’, as he posed next to his shower cubicle in the buff.


We all know training for Dancing On Ice is pretty rigorous on the legs especially, so it’s no wonder H looked proud of his belfie.

However, it looked like the DOI spray tans missed his butt as it looked pretty pale in comparison to the rest of him, but nobody’s perfect we suppose…

Belfies aside, the singer had made history by being part of the first ever same-sex couple on Dancing On Ice, having been partnered with professional skater Matt Evers.

After his first performance on the show, H had told the judges: ‘[It was] emotional, because I have wanted this for so long and it means so much to so many people and the world is ready for this.’


Matt added: ‘I just have to say thank you to the network, thank you to ITV and thank you to everybody at home that is accepting of this because this is normal. This is absolutely normal.’

Justin Timberlake is trying to improve on his incredible popular, Grammy-winning Trolls song Can’t Stop The Feeling by teaming up with SZA for the sequel Trolls World Tour.

Both singers duet on the disco-inspired, uplifting The Other Side which is bound to get toes tapping at the cinema when the film comes out.

The song, co-written by Justin, SZA, Max Martin, Ludwig Göransson, Sarah Aarons , is an upbeat number all about self-confidence.

The retro video sees Justin and SZA showing off their dance moves against various shimmering backgrounds.

The All The Stars singer pretty much upstages Mr JT with her silver jumpsuit, incredible hair and flawless dance moves, including a headstand that shows off her flexibility.

Not only if the video cool as hell, it’s also full of chemistry as Justin and SZA joke around together, with the latter hilariously falling over in her huge heels at one point. Love that they left that in there.

The Other Side will appear on the Trolls World Tour soundtrack, out 13 March, on which Kelly Clarkson, Mary J. Blige, HAIM, Anderson .Paak and K-pop girl group Red Velvet also appear.

SZA, real name Solana Rowe, said she was ‘thrilled’ to be involved on the track.

She said: ‘The creative process of working with him and the team was filled with such excitement. It’s an energy you can feel in both the song and music video. I can’t wait for people to check it out.’

The former *NSYNC star added: ‘Being able to bring together different creatives from various disciplines and genres has been the most rewarding part.

‘Creating something that serves the movie while still being able to exist apart from it has been a fun challenge that was made even more exciting by working with the other amazing artists that helped us put this together.’

The Pussycat Dolls hit by miming claims during One Show performance after technical difficulties

The Pussycat Dolls have been accused of miming through their performance of React on the One Show.

The band – made up of Nicole Scherzinger, Ashley Roberts, Kimberly Wyatt, Carmit Bachar and Jessica Sutta – appeared on the BBC series to promote their new single.

They were introduced on stage by host Matt Baker, who told the crowd: ‘Now performing their new single, React, it’s the Pussycat Dolls…’ Matt told viewers.

Unfortunately, technical issues meant they didn’t realise the song had started– with a backing track and vocals blasting out behind them.

Instead, React played out as Nicole and co. stood with their backs toward the crowd.

It was left to Matt to rescue the situation, shouting out: ‘It’s the Pussycat Dolls’ once more as the music restarted.

Despite the Buttons stars smashing their performance, fans at home couldn’t get over the awkward moment – speculating over whether they had been miming.

‘Awkward there just bit miming I’m guessing #TheOneShow #pussycatdolls,’ a follower posted.

‘That was a miming f**k up wasn’t it #TheOneShow,’ a viewer suggested.

‘Whoooops, #pussycat dolls miming then? Just stood there doing nothing for 15 seconds while their track played, because they couldn’t hear what was going on! #TheOneShow,’ one commented.

Another said: ‘What a way to show you’re miming #Fail #PussycatDolls #TheOneShow.’

While others rushed to their defence, heaping praise on the stars for pulling through all the difficulties.

‘The Pussycat Dolls got off to a rough start on The One Show but boyyy did they bring it back #TheOneShow,’ a Twitter user commented.

‘People will always have something to say, it can happen that artists have to start their performance a 2nd time after the 1st time had a wrong start,’ one penned.

‘It’s starting AGAIN that makes it worth it in the end. #TheOneShow @pussycatdolls. @BBCOne.’

The One Show continues on weekdays, at 7pm, on BBC One.

Fashion week can take its toll on any model but Bella Hadid has come prepared for Paris Fashion Week with a handy secret weapon – a tube of soluble vitamin tablets.

Bella, 23, was spotted leaving the Thierry Mugler show in Paris this week, with all of her essentials in her hand.

She threw her leather jacket over her arm as she carried a pair of sunglasses, a bottle of water and a tube of vitamins to make sure she was in tip top condition for the hectic week.

What with all the travelling and back-to-back fashion shows and after parties throughout the season, it’s no surprise a little vitamin boost goes a long way.

Bella and her sister, Gigi Hadid, have been walking in several shows throughout the week, including the Lanvin show, which saw them both have their hair parted on one side.

Bella had completed her outfit with leather trousers, a black embellished sleeveless jumper and chunky black boots as she stepped out after the show.

Gigi and Bella’s mother, Yolanda Hadid also flew into France to watch her daughters take to the catwalks, too.

As well as the world’s super models descending on Paris to walk in the shows, a host of celebrities also make the trip each year to see the newest catwalk collections.

Brooklyn Beckham and his girlfriend, Nicola Peltz, have been spotted in the city as well as rapper Tyga and Off-White designer Virgil Abloh.

Given the high-pressure time of year for a model, Bella wasn’t just relying on the vitamins to keep the coughs and colds at bay, as she was also spotted leaving Milan wearing a face mask, after the Coronavirus outbreak started to spread in Italy.

Well, you never can be too careful.

Netflix’s Love Is Blind fans spot major clue Matthew Barnett and Amber Pike are still together

Love Is Blind has sent fans wild since dropping on Netflix earlier this month, with the finale arriving on the streaming platform on Thursday.

But, while we’re all trying to piece together exactly who is still together ahead of their all-important wedding days – eagle-eyed followers are convinced they’ve figured out whether Matthew Barnett and Amber Pike are made it through their vows.

Flocking to Instagram, viewers uncovered a picture Barnett posted on 6 July, 2019, as he lived his best life on holiday.

The snap in question showed the 27-year-old enjoying a beer as he relaxed in the water, surrounded by boats.

But it’s the American flag-styled cowboy hat he donned that his followers went into meltdown over, as his bride-to-be happened to pose with very similar headgear.

In a photo uploaded on 5 July, 2019 – the day before Barnett’s photo – she posed in a bikini, rocking said hat.

Barnett’s followers couldn’t get enough of the similarities, with one commenting: ‘That hat is rather familiar, Amber wore it in her “happy birthday America” photo!’

‘Amber have the same hat in her Instagram and a photo in this water. I think they ended up together (sic),’ another suggested.

While a follower simply added: ‘I recognise this hat,’ alongside a string of ring emojis.

Maybe they just happen to have the same taste in flag-themed cowboy gear?

Love Is Blind viewers are gearing up for the finale of the dating show on Thursday, when we finally get to find out exactly who went forward with their weddings, and which bride decided to run away from her big day.

And Netflix has confirmed that there will be a reunion on 5 March, meaning we’ll find out just what happened when the cameras stopped rolling.

The official Netflix US Twitter account announced the news, telling us all: ‘The final episode of Love Is Blind premieres tomorrow! But the story doesn’t end there…

‘On March 5, all your burning questions will be answered in a can’t-miss reunion special hosted by Vanessa and Nick Lachey.’

Alongside this, they blessed us with a picture of the dating show stars from the reunion – which means we’ll be analysing the expression on Barnett’s face for the next week at least.

Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix now.

Mollie King wants people to be more open about having dyslexia as there are ‘so many’ people with it

The Saturdays star Mollie King has opened up about having dyslexia, and her wish that people would be more open about having the learning disorder.

The singer, 32, has previously spoken up about her experiences with dyslexia, and revealed that speaking to others with it has helped her over the years.

She told House of Solo magazine: ‘I think the best thing is to be really open about it. Especially in the music business, and probably film as well, I think there are so many people who are dyslexic.

‘So, it’s nice to be working amongst people who have those same difficulties.’

Mollie also recently revealed that reading scripts can be difficult while working on her BBC Radio 1 show.

She explained: ‘I do find reading really hard because I’m dyslexic. So if I’m reading out a text on air, I might slip up and read a word slightly wrong, then that does sit with me for a bit.

‘It’s all about brushing it off and just moving on,’ she told The Sun. ‘Especially with the show being live.

‘You can’t have it play on your mind throughout the rest of the show. Doing things live has made me better at just brushing things off and ploughing on, because I think the listeners don’t mind hearing a mistake every now and then — it proves I’m human.’

Mollie also revealed the various tricks she uses to help her while presenting, including her co-host Matt Edmondson highlighting listeners’ texts for her and also practising her autocues ahead of time when presenting live TV like This Morning.

She also told House Of Solo that having determination and being willing to put the work in behind the scenes always helps when it comes to making it.

‘When I’m speaking to people at school or at college, I think it’s a really important message to put across,’ she said.

‘Obviously, having natural ability, that’s always going to help, but actually I think what helps just as much is putting in the extra hours.’

Pretty Woman originally had pretty grim ending as screenwriter busts myths on iconic 90s film

If you don’t want your illusion of iconic 90s film Pretty Woman shattered, we’re terribly sorry to ruin your day.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of the Julia Roberts and Richard Gere film, JF Lawton has opened up on the script he wrote back in the day and busted some myths – while confirming some other rumours.

And when it comes to the script, while Lawton admits they had no idea the ending when they first began filming, early versions of the script – which focuses on a prostitute and a billionaire picking her up and paying for her company for a few days – had a rather grim premise the first time it was drafted.

According to a recent interview, the film was originally called Three Thousand and was a lot darker than the Pretty Woman we know and love.

For one, Vivian (played by Roberts) openly speaks of smoking crack and is ‘pimpier’ towards Kit (Laura San Giacomo) with the character procuring drug paraphernalia in the film.

And while Edward (Gere) was ‘significantly crueller, bordering on awful’, offering Vivian to his mates ‘after he’s done’, there is no dramatic death – as was the myth of the original story.

So this ending is way better, tbh (Picture: Touchstone Pictures)

Doesn’t mean it was all happy days, though.

Writer Lawton – who is currently working on the film’s stage musical adaptation – told Yahoo: ‘No one dies at the end. The basic story is very similar, Vivian and Edward make a deal for six days for three thousand dollars, but at the end of those six days Edward doesn’t fall in love with her.

‘Vivian however, kind of imagines she loves him or at least doesn’t want to go back to her old life.’

Describing the rather dramatic and hardly fairytale ending, Lawton added: ‘Edward drives her back to Hollywood Boulevard and they get into an argument, with Edward not understanding why Vivian is so upset. When she won’t get out of the car, Edward tries to pull her out and she starts hitting him. He throws her off and as she is sobbing, he tries to give her the money in an envelope. She won’t take it, and when he puts it on the curb for her, she grabs it and throws it in his face.  But as he drives off, she slowly picks the money up from the street.’

The fire ladder ending is so much better, let’s be honest.

The fifth Indiana Jones film won’t be directed by Steven Spielberg according to new reports, and it will be the first film in the franchise the legendary director won’t helm.

According to Variety and EW, Steven will be handing over the reins to another director for Indiana Jones 5, though who will be taking his place has yet to be confirmed.

Since Indiana Jones made his big-screen debut in 1981’s Raiders of the Lost Ark, Steven Spielberg has been the man to bring the story to life.

Variety has suggested that James Mangold, the director behind Oscar-winning film Ford v Ferrari could be Steven’s replacement, but reps are yet to comment on whether there is any truth to the rumours.

Steven is said to be remaining attached to the project as a producer, with a source close to the filmmaker telling Vanity Fair that he wanted to ‘let a new director and a new generation give their perspective to the overall story and this film.’

It’s not the first tome Steven has passed one of his iconic franchises on to new blood, with him handing over the Jurassic Park franchise to Colin Trevorrow and J.A. Bayona.

Indiana Jones 5 will be made by Disney’s Lucasfilm, and the release date has been pushed back multiple times to currently be slated as 21 July, 2021.

Harrison Ford has signed on to reprise his role as adventurer Indy, with him recently telling CBS Sunday Morning that he will ‘start doing Indiana Jones in about two months.

He added to Hey U Guys: ‘We want it to be the best. We’ve got some scheduling issues and a few script things still to do, but we are determined to get it right before we get it made.’

The rest of the cast has yet to be announced, as well as an official replacement for Steven Spielberg.

Indiana Jones 5 is slated for release on 21 July, 2021.

Flesh And Blood episode 3 questions: Did Jake attack Mark?

Flesh And Blood's Mark
Our suspicions are growing when it comes to Flesh And Blood’s Mark (Picture: ITV)

Flesh And Blood just aired its penultimate episode of the series and although we’re getting closer to who was attacked, we’re still none the wiser when it comes to Mark.

Is he a good guy? Is he dangerous? What’s he capable of? We have no idea, and we’re hoping and praying we get some clarity when the finale lands on our screens tomorrow.

As ever, we’ve got a load of questions from this evening’s offering that *need* answering before the ITV thriller is put to bed.

What’s Jake’s involvement with the attack?

Jake had a flashback to the night of the incident during his interview with the police.

The detectives pointed out a cut on his wrist and quizzed him on where he sustained the injury, but he quickly deflected and said he had no idea where it had come from.

Mark in Flesh And Blood
Did Jake attack Mark? (Picture: ITV)

Seconds later, however, Jake was seen having an altercation with Mark on the deck with shards of glass flying everywhere.

Did Jake attack Mark during his mum’s birthday party? Is that who was carted off by paramedics in episode one?

Did Mark murder his last wife?

It was discovered that Mark’s last wife died from a self-administered drug overdose.

This news was unearthed after Vivien and Mark paid a visit to solicitor Stella, with her relaying the information to Jake.

Flesh And Blood Mark and Vivien
Should Vivien be on her guard around Mark? (Picture: ITV)

Wanting to investigate the findings further, Jake then located some old newspaper cuttings which stated details of the inquest and how a friend of the wife had claimed Mark wanted to benefit financially from her passing.

So naturally, this bombshell begs the question: Did Mike actually kill his last wife or is this just a red-herring?

Has Mark been slipping Vivien medication?

It didn’t escape our notice that Vivien started beavhing differently towards the end of tonight’s episode.

And if that wasn’t enough, the camera focussed on a bottle of medication when Mark was making her a drink.

Has he been slipping her pills or are these just part of her recovery from her fall in episode one?

Will we finally get closure tomorrow night when the last episode of Flesh And Blood airs? We’re holding out hope we get some answers because otherwise we won’t be able to rest. Ever.

Flesh And Blood continues on Thursday at 9pm on ITV.
