Love Island star Laura Anderson has had a new tattoo in memory of Caroline Flack.

Laura, who was Love Island runner up in 2018, now has an inking on her wrist of the words ‘be kind’ with a butterfly alongside it.

Sharing a photo of the tattoo on Instagram she said: ‘It’s not until now this has become “fashionable” All I’ve ever wanted is to be kind (sic). This is for you Caroline…and the rest of the human race.’

The TV presenter died by suicide, 40, earlier this year.

She had stepped down from hosting the first ever winter series this year with Laura Whitmore replacing her, with Caroline’s blessing.

Sunday night’s final was won by Paige Turley and Finley Tapp, who had been told of Caroline’s death in the days leading up to the final.

Laura fought back tears as she paid tribute to her friend during the live final, telling viewers how ‘difficult’ it had been recently for her and the entire Love Island team.

Laura said: ‘Caroline loved Love Island and that’s why tonight’s final is dedicated to her.’

A montage of Caroline’s time on Love Island then followed, showing the presenter throughout the series over the years, her interactions with contestants and her infectious laugh playing out.

Following her death on 15 February, Love Island cancelled two shows but returned days later while honouring Caroline in a moving tribute that was narrated by show voiceover Iain Stirling.

The show’s Just Eat adverts were replaced during one episode with a simple card giving out the number for the Samaritans, and urging others to #BeKind.

While this year’s summer series of Love Island was initially in doubt, Laura confirmed in last week’s final that the dating show would return later this year.

Love Is Blind: Which couples are still together after tense Netflix finale?

*WARNING: Love Is Blind spoilers ahead*

Netflix’s Love Is Blind has now ended, leaving a huge, dating show-shaped hole in our lives.

But, after Jessica Batten walked out on her wedding to Mark Cuevas, Giannina Gibelli officially became a runaway bride, and Amber Pike and Matthew Barnett tied the knot, we have been dying for more information on our new favourite couples.

Most importantly, who is still together and who decided to split in dramatic fashion?

Giannina Gibelli and Damian Powers

Gigi and Damian had the showdown of all showdowns on what should have been the most blissful day of their lives. Damian rejected Gigi at the altar, causing her to sprint off into the distance before falling flat on her face in a mud patch.

But, despite ripping scraps off her dress and throwing them in her beau’s face, it seems the couple have had a major change of heart.

In fact, an insider claimed to Women’s Health that they have decided to get back together – but slow things down majorly.

‘Once the cameras went away, they ended up regrouping and talking and [now] they’re like, “We love each other, we just don’t need to be married right away,”’, the source said, adding that they have moved in together.

We feel sorry for their neighbours…

Amber Pike and Matthew Barnett

Amber and Barnett have become firm Love Is Blind favourite, thanks largely to that moment at her bachelorette party.

And we were truly thrilled when they became the first couple to get married in the finale – despite Barnett appearing to have a slight wobble on the big day.

The source claimed there was one point the couple had to take stock of their relationship soon after, and question whether they should still be married, but have been loved-up ever since.

And we love to see it.

Lauren Speed and Cameron Hamilton

While it looked a little choppy at points, Lauren and Cameron tied the knot in a romantic wedding at the very end of the finale.

And, despite not following each other on Instagram, it seems the pair are well and truly still going strong.

In fact, the insider claimed they ‘celebrated their one year anniversary back in Mexico’ and are just ‘adorable’.

Jessica, meanwhile, turned her back on spending the rest of her life with Mark Cuevas – something she is absolutely not sorry for.

And the publication states she has remained single and is ‘focusing on herself’ after leaving the experiment, while Mark is also newly single after ending a five-month romance.

Maybe they could reunite?

While Kenny has moved on from being dumped at the altar, and is ‘in a very happy relationship’ – but definitely not with Kelly, who is still looking for love.

Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix now.

Silence of The Lambs TV series has found its Clarice Starling: Pretty Little Liars actress Rebecca Breeds will play the hero tortured by Hannibal Lecter.

The 32-year-old follows Jodie Foster (who won an Oscar for the role) and Julianne Moore as the FBI agent who’s as thirsty for serial killers and sexual predators as her cannibalistic foe is for human blood.

Titled Clarice, the new thriller will pick up a year after the events of Silence of The Lambs and the capture of serial killer Buffalo Bill.

The narrative will be driven by Clarice’s childhood trauma while it remains unclear if Hannibal will be popping up, though it seems unlikely as their paths didn’t cross between Silence of The Lambs and its 2001 sequel, Hannibal.

Announcing the iconic horror’s TV spin-off, showrunners Alex Kurtzman – of Star Trek and Star Trek: Picard fame – and Jenny Lumet enthused: ‘After more than 20 years of silence, we’re privileged to give voice to one of America’s most enduring heroes — Clarice Starling.

‘Clarice’s bravery and complexity have always lit the way, even as her personal story remained in the dark. But hers is the very story we need today: her struggle, her resilience, her victory. Her time is now, and always.’

The series comes after Hannibal was axed after three seasons, despite huge acclaim from critics and fans.

Five years since its cancellation, it’s impassioned following are still out there fighting for its return.

Silence of The Lambs is expected to drop on Amazon Prime later this year.

Netflix fans are devouring I Am Not Okay With This in one day and the challenge is on

Netflix New Show I Am Not Okay With This

Netflix fans have set the bar high after devouring the new series I Am Not Okay With This in just one day.

That’s right, the subscribers are working their way through the seven-part-series in no time and are already demanding a second season – despite this one being out a matter of days.

And while it might sound like an impressive accomplishment, we must point out the episodes are only 25 minutes long, meaning you can watch the whole thing in just over three hours.

Taking to Twitter, viewers boasted over their achievement, and the challenge is now on.

‘Did I finished “I am not okay with this” in a single day? You bet I did,’ one wrote while another added: ‘Just binge-watched I am not okay with this in one day ffs, so good but god knows how long I’m going to have to wait for a second series.’

We accept the challenge (Picture: Netflix)

Someone else said: ‘I finished I am not okay with this in one day and I feel so empty wtf it ended so fast and ended with a cliffhanger.’

The highly anticipated drama centres around the school girl Sydney (Sophia Lillia) who describes herself as a ‘boring 17-year-old white girl’.

That’s until she discovers she has secret superpowers – and this is when people started to compare the show to Stranger Things.

After all, they do have the same writers.






Sydney is not only forced to confront an explosive power she’s developed but is also busy navigating the pangs of high-school, figuring out her sexuality and dealing with the sudden death of her dad.

While her superpower discovery is the main event, we become just as invested in her personal struggles and follow them with bated breath.

‘I think there might be something wrong with me’, she admits in the show’s gripping two-minute trailer.

Of course, like most coming-of-age shows, Sydney’s world is filled to the brim with awkward scenes, angsty teens, and horrible parents, but she gets through it all with the help of her besties Stanley Barber (Wyatt Oleff) and Dina (Sofia Bryant).

I Am Not Okay With This is available on Netflix now – watch it in a day, we dare you!

We need to talk about Arnold Schwarzenegger taking his donkey to work

Arnold Schwarzenegger and his donkey is a friendship as old as time – it’s a glorious sight to behold, we’re not going to lie.

While you may anticipate one of the most hardcore action movie heroes of our time to not be getting about with a small animal, but, we don’t know, counting a snake as his pet of choice, or a gorilla, instead Arnie spends his time doting on a pet donkey LuLu and a miniature pony Whiskey.

We kid you not.

Sharing a video to Instagram this week, the Terminator himself delighted fans when he was seen leading little LuLu into the office on a pretty lilac leash.

The 72-year-old film star looks quite a home with the small animals, as his two four-legged friends made themselves well at home in the pet-friendly office, eating his meals, chatting with his colleagues.

We wonder how they go at filing and photo-copying as well. [Insert joke here about LuLu making an ass of herself…]

Fans thought it was simply brilliant as they reacted to the social media post on Wednesday, with one asking the serious questions: ‘Okay but how much can LuLu deadlift?’

Another fairly pointed out: ‘I guess if I were loaded I’d have a horse in my office too.’

While Arnold’s son Patrick Schwarzenegger shared a bunch of laughing emojis – we’re right there with you Patrick!

Everyone was excited to see Arnold’s menagerie in the office (Picture: @schwarzenegger)

It’s not the first time he’d taken his mates to work with him, evidently not able to bear leaving his pets at home while he sweated on the 9-5 grind, captioning the sweet video that was a follow up to Whiskey’s workplace adventures: ‘This time I brought LuLu too.’

Oh and can we please talk about how Arnie sets the adorable clip to Queen’s You’re My Best Friend? Quite apt, really.

In the clip the actor got to working with some delicious treats on his desk, so it wasn’t long before LuLu and Whiskey sniffed out the sugar and wanted a treat, interrupting a giggling Arnie who was probably trying awfully hard to make some big Hollywood deals.

Sure in another world we’d be taking in the swish interior of Arnold’s swanky office but we really cannot take our eyes off the distracted mayhem of having two adorable animals running riot in an office.

Therapy horses are a thing, right? We feel like every workplace could benefit from having a LuLu and a Whiskey around to ease the day-to-day stresses.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B5v45UKJyMT/

Back in December, Arnie delighted us all with his office pursuits as he lead Whiskey into the lift at work.

He wrote: ‘Friday feeling at my pet friendly office.’

Oh Arnold when it comes to your Instagram feed and all this glorious equine goodness – we’ll be back.

Kris Jenner names the daughter she thinks will have a baby next and we’re kinda surprised

Kris Jenner is a proud grandma to ten grandchildren and hoping that the Kardashians’ second generation will only expand, the momager revealed which of her daughters she thinks will have the next baby.

Kourtney Kardashian is mum to three kids, Kim is mum to four kids, Khloe has baby daughter True, Rob is dad to his little girl Dream and Kylie is mum to daughter Stormi.

Appearing on the Ellen DeGeneres Show, Kris took part in a game where she had to fill in the blanks and when asked who her next grandchild will come from, she replied: ‘Kourtney.’

Anyone else surprised?

Surely the go-to was Kylie, who says she is feeling the ‘pressure’ to give two-year-old Stormi a sibling, and even Kris changed her mind to choose the lip-kit mogul.

She said: ‘Or maybe Kylie… what do you think? I think Kourtney.’

BGUK_1883269 - Los Angeles, CA - Sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian come to blows in teaser for new season of Keeping Up With The Kardashians. E! has released a wild teaser trailer for the upcoming season, which featured footage of Kim and Kourtney fighting. But this time, it got physical. Kourtney appeared to throw a water bottle at Kim and Kim threw a punch at Kourtney in response.
Kris said she thinks Kourtney will have the next baby in the family (Picture: E!)

Ellen was quick to quiz Kris over whether Kylie and her baby daddy Travis Scott are officially back together again.

The pair split in 2019 after three years together, but rumours have been swirling that Kylie and Travis, who happily co-parent, could rekindle things.

Not giving too much away, Kris told Ellen: ‘I don’t know if they’re back together, they’re just great co-parenters.’

She also revealed her favourite daughter of the day was Khloe, her smartest daughter of the day was Kim and Kris said the thing that seemed like a great idea, but she now regrets doing was ‘drinking last night’.

As for favourite grandchild, Kris picked Dream – purely on the basis that she’d just seen Dream, who Rob shares with ex Blac Chyna, just before filming for the show.

Kris also revealed that Kourtney is back filming for Keeping Up With The Kardashians, for the show’s 19th series, despite planning to take a break.

Kourtney has been clashing with sisters Kim and Khloe in the show, with the girls accusing her of not sharing as much on camera anymore and Kourtney and Kim actually having a physical fight because of it.

Kris joked that Kourtney has ‘finally seen the light’ and returned to KUWTK after taking some time to cool off.

WWE legend The Undertaker returns to beat AJ Styles at Super ShowDown to set up WrestleMania match

The Undertaker returns to beat AJ Styles

Undertaker made a surprise comeback (Credit: Twitter.com/WWE)The Undertaker made a sensational WWE return at Super ShowDown on Thursday to face AJ Styles.

The Phenomenal One – who has been rumoured to be set for a WrestleMania date with the Dead Man in Tampa this spring – had originally been set to face Rey Mysterio after making R-Truth tap out in the first ever gauntlet match for the Tuwaiq Trophy, but fans saw the OC beating him down backstage.

Styles tried to claim the cup by forfeit, but the referee’s count was interrupted as Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows got laid out before a not-so-mysterious figure stepped into frame, with the iconic boots and trench coat on show before the dong ran out.


The legendary Phenom made his chilling entrance as AJ looked on shocked, going on to pin the former world champion after a single Chokeslam and seemingly kick off a heavily rumoured feud for this year’s WrestleMania.

It came after Styles defeated R-Truth, who had already beaten Bobby Lashley, Andrade and Erick Rowan before his loss.


Taker’s return wasn’t a total surprise with fans chanting his name way before his music first hit, but it was an incredible moment for everyone watching he now looks all but confirmed for his first match at the Show of Shows since he beat John Cena at WrestleMania 34 two years ago.


Earlier this month, reports claimed that Taker had asked to work with Styles at this year’s extravaganza as he views him as a modern-day Shawn Michaels.

Undertaker certainly looks to be in amazing shape too, with his wife – and former WWE superstar in her own right – Michelle McCool taking to Instagram with a video showing her man tensing as he takes some hard kicks to the body from his daughter, and the wrestling icon has clearly been sticking to a solid gym routine ahead of his latest appearance in the ring.

Dancing On Ice producers have got procedures in place in case there is a coronavirus outbreak in the studio.

The virus is spreading around the world at an alarming rate, with 15 cases confirmed in the UK so far.

And Dan Whiston has revealed the team are attempting to be ‘one step in front’ when it comes to protecting the cast and crew – including hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield.

The associate Creative Director Dan Whiston said: ‘We’ve got an amazing medical team. We’ve got an amazing production team that are all over this kind of stuff.

‘There is hand sanitiser everywhere and procedures have been put in place to protect the cast and crew, so I know they’re all over that.

‘Without panicking people, you’ve got to be one step in front, always.

‘Things like hand sanitiser on the doorways, we encourage that anyway,’ he added to the Sun. ‘You’ve got to step up and do the best you can in the environment we’re in.’

The Dancing On Ice gang aren’t the only ones taking precautions against coronavirus – as Gemma Collins has pulled out of a trip to China.

GC – a DOI alum – was due to visit Asia this month, but decided against making the voyage over fears she would contract the disease.

In a chat with the Guardian, the Towie star said: ‘I was supposed to be going to China this month, but with the coronavirus, I don’t want to risk it…

‘Then again, when it’s your time, it’s your time.’

She speaks more sense than some…

Gemma also ensured her loved ones are fully protected in case the outbreak intensifies in the UK.

In fact, she took her nephew to Harrods for a birthday trip – where they ended up leaving with a coronavirus mask, gloves and hand sanitiser for added protection.

Metro.co.uk has contacted ITV for a comment.

Dancing On Ice continues on Sunday, at 6pm, on ITV.

The ex of Lady Gaga’s new boyfriend Michael Polansky reacts to their romance in the best way

The ex-girlfriend of Lady Gaga’s new boyfriend reacts to their romance in the best way

Lady Gaga recently went Instagram official with new boyfriend Michael Polansky and now his ex-girlfriend is sharing her thoughts on their blossoming romance.

Lindsay Crouse isn’t famous. But her ex is now dating one of the biggest stars in the world. She saw so on Instagram, when Gaga shared a snap of her looking all smitten and snuggling into his lap.

And while our first reaction would be to instantly reach for all the cheese, all the chocolate and whack on Bridget Jones to make ourselves feel better, Lindsay is out here feeling herself.

In an op-ed for the New York Times, Lindsay – who dated Michael for seven years back in college – reveals her reaction to her ex getting together with Gaga and, tbh, it’s genius.

So what did she do, you ask? Well, she channelled her inner Gaga.

She writes: ‘I don’t follow my ex on social media. We were ‘friends’ on Facebook. Then we were ‘in a relationship’ on Facebook. After we broke up, I noticed I was ‘blocked’ on Facebook. And then we moved on. I hadn’t googled him in forever (I promise). But this month I knew everything about his new relationship status, within hours of when it was disclosed.’

Lady Gaga
Gaga first went public with Michael at the beginning of February (Picture: Instagram)

Lindsay continues: ‘If you’ve ever googled an ex’s new partner (be honest) you’ve probably played a certain game with yourself. You’re either just curious – which is healthy of you – or you want to know how you compare… How do you compare yourself with Lady Gaga? Lady Gaga is amazing.’

But here’s the thing, Lindsay then urges everyone to do just that compare themselves to Gaga and says doing so is actually ‘motivational’.

She says: ‘If Lady Gaga can do what she wants, and even expand on what she wants, why not me, too? I went to a nice store I’d never been inside before and I tried something on. The clerk asked me what the occasion was.

‘I found out from Facebook that my ex-boyfriend was dating Lady Gaga, I told her, and she looked me up and down. The dress was too expensive, but I bought it anyway. Why should I accept less than Lady Gaga?’

Too right, Lindsay.

And the icing on the cake, while she’s out here creeping on her ex and Gaga, he’s doing the exact same right back.

Lindsay had posted a video of her and her fiance dancing together at a wedding to Instagram and who’s name popped up in the views? Her ex-boyfriend’s. Of course.

‘I saw Lady Gaga’s boyfriend in the views,’ she revealed. ‘And I realized we’re actually all the same: strangers, smiling on a screen.’

So much yes for Ariel’s new barnet (Pictured: Ariel Winter BACKGRID)

Ariel Winter has wasted no time in ditching the black hair of her Modern Family character Alex Dunphy following the wrap of the long-running show as she debuted a delightful strawberry blonde barnet this week.

Can we please gather around Ariel Winter and show these strands the respect they deserve?

After playing the character for 11 seasons, she switched things up by heading to the salon pretty much immediately after celebrating at the wrap party this week.

Showing us her new red tresses on the way out, Ariel shared some shots to Instagram on Wednesday rocking the new look, as she captioned the post: ‘Im a strawberry and a shortcake sooooo new nickname?’

Oh hey Strawberry Shortcake!

Heading out in Los Angeles after the salon appointment, the 22-year-old looked to be in great spirits with the new hair.

It’s not the first time the actor has gone for the same look, after dyeing her hair the fiery hue last year.

Perhaps redheads do have more fun?

Speaking to Allure after originally undergoing the hair change, she said: ‘At first, I was nervous. But the day after I dyed it, I felt like a different person. I walked past my bathroom mirror and was like, “Oh my god! Who’s in my bathroom?” And it was literally me. But I love it. It’s my favourite style I’ve done so far.’

It comes after the Modern Family crew got together for one last time on Monday to celebrate their award-winning series, which is sadly coming to an end.

Partying at the Sunset Room Hollywood in Los Angeles it was bittersweet as while they were celebrating 11 years of working together and producing some top comedy, it was also the end of an era working with friends for life.

Sarah Hyland, who plays Haley Dunphy, summed it all up pretty well on Instagram.

Sharing snaps of her with her on-screen siblings Ariel and Nolan Gould, she referenced how she had co-ordinated with Ariel for the party.

‘I love these people with all my heart,’ she wrote.

’11 years together is proof you and your TV sister will start wearing the same outfit, siblings for life will be made, and you’ll forever fight over the same professor.

‘We’ll always be Dunphys and we’ll always have each other.’

Modern Family aired its first episode on 23 September 2009 and since then it’s won five Emmys for outstanding comedy series.

Some of the cast members, like Ariel, Nolan and Rico Rodriquez, have literally grown from children to adults in front of our eyes on the screen.

As announced by ABC last year, this 11th series of the show will be its last.

The final episode of Modern Family will air on 8 April 2020.

Modern Family is shown on Wednesdays at 9pm EST on ABC.

Producer Sleep Deez was full of praise for BTS star Jungkook, who he worked with on the song My Time.

My Time appears on the K-pop group’s latest album Map Of The Soul: 7.

Sleep Deez took to Instagram where some BTS fans quizzed him on his time writing with the singer.

As he played My Time in the background, he said: ‘He’s amazing, he’s one of the best singers in the world. His voice is pure. Actually, the song was originally down one key, and his voice is so good we actually raised it up a key. So, he can just really do his thing. His range is crazy.’

‘We definitely gotta work together again in the future,’ he added later on.

Whoever gets to work with the IDOL singers are always full of praise for their work ethic and talent, especially on Map Of The Soul: 7 which features collaborations from the likes of Sia, Troye Sivan and producing duo Arcades.


Arcades were the brains behind V’s solo single Inner Child, and described it as an ‘intimate yet anthemic’ song.

Arcades member Matt Thomson told Metro.co.uk he thought V was ‘super cool’ and reminded him of his own ‘indie background’.

‘I used to walk around thinking that I was John Lennon. I had a flat cap, John Lennon sunglasses and everything, so I’ve always had that part of me that’s just always respected that sort of thing.

‘I can see that in [V] as well. Winter Bear, intimate folky acoustic stuff.

‘His voice is incredible, and the way he dresses is super cool, and he seems like an all round nice guy.’

The seven member group dropped their music video for comeback single ON on Thursday, which appears to have a religious theme.

BTS will be heading off of on their world tour later this year.

All the subtle clapbacks you missed in Taylor Swift’s The Man music video

$

Taylor Swift is no stranger to adding a hidden message (or 13) into her music videos, so the promo for The Man was always going to be full of amazing clapbacks at the men who wronged her.

Coming fresh off the back of her feud with Scooter Braun over the rights to the masters of her back catalogue of songs, of course the music mogul wasn’t getting off scot-free.

Scooter wasn’t the only one Taylor sent up in the video, as there were references to the double standards of how her dating life has been reported in comparison to Leonardo DiCaprio’s, and even a subtle hint at Kanye West, too.

Here’s all the clapbacks you missed from The Man:

No Scooters

Taylor Swift was embroiled in a battle with Scooter Braun and Scott Borchetta last year over the rights to her entire back catalogue of music after they bought her old record label, Big Machine.

Taylor publicly called them out, claiming she was never given the option to buy the rights to her music and that they were trying to stop her from performing her old songs.

So, the handily placed ‘no scooters’ sign is far from an accident – and is a less-than-thinly-veiled message to Scooter Braun that he is not allowed near her new music.

All of her albums are ‘Missing: If found return to Taylor Swift’

Another reference to the fact that Scooter and Scott the rights to her past albums, the graffiti on the wall is the names of all of her past records.

The fact that The Man is also peeing his name over the wall could also symbolise how she felt it was them literally ‘p**sing all over her hard work’.

The naked Kim Kardashian lookalike in bed

Taylor Swift and Kanye West fell out over his lyrics: ‘I think that me and Taylor might still have sex, I made that b***h famous’ and the accompanying video to his track Famous, and this scene appears to allude to that.

Kanye had used a mannequin made to look like Taylor in the video, which features several people – including his wife Kim Kardashian – naked in a bed, barely covered by a sheet.

Fans were quick to spot the resemblance, and even the fact that the woman in bed looked a lot like Kim – so this could be a little payback for Kanye’s video.

The soulless hallway reminiscent of Kim and Kanye’s home

Another reference to Kimye can be found in the hallway of high-fives The Man walks down, which doesn’t look a million miles away from Kim and Kanye’s soulless crypt of a house.

The couple have shared pictures and videos of the interior of their home in Los Angeles, and the minimalistic design looks very familiar.

‘What man won the year in celebrity dating’ on the newspaper

Taylor Swift has been the victim of trolling and nasty comments about her dating life in the past – something which never seems to happen to men in the same position.

She was lambasted for going from one relationship to another – something which is glorified when a male celebrity does the same – so the newspaper headline is definitely making a point.

The Man video
The headlines were in reference to Taylor’s dating history (Picture: YouTube)

The Man on a yacht full of women

Another reference to the double standards of dating, Taylor paid homage to The Wolf Of Wall Street – and Leonardo DiCaprio’s actual life – as The Man was seen on a yacht with a group of bikini-clad ladies.

She also references Leo’s history of dating younger women in the lyrics to the song – and the fact that is just accepted while her dating history has been criticised.

The Man video

The end cards reading: written/directed/owned by Taylor Swift

Another reference to the fact her masters were bought out from under her – Taylor is not mincing her words when it comes to making it clear who owns all her work from now on.


Referencing the lack of recognition for women in film

Taylor Swift changed her Miss Americana documentary poster to be Mr American – and Sundance to Mandance – to highlight the lack of representation for females in the movie industry.

The Man video
She gave The Man his own version of her documentary (Picture: YouTube)

The women’s charity tennis match

Taylor’s very generous when it comes to giving to charitable causes – something which often goes overlooked – so this appeared to be a little nudge to the fact men tend to get (and often seek) more recognition for doing good deeds than women do.

It could also be a reference to some men not seeing the irony in trying to make up for their deeds against women by making donations to women’s charities, despite not upholding the values in their real lives.

And yes, this is even more reason why we love Taylor Swift.

*WARNING: Love Is Blind spoilers ahead.*

Love Is Blind’s Amber Pike has thrown all kinds of shade at Jessica Batten, after the Netflixdating show came to a dramatic end.

The pair had an awkward time of it in the dating pods, as they soon made a connection with the same man – Matthew Barnett.

He was also growing close to LC, but ultimately decided that Amber was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with, popping the question soon after.

However, after the stars were thrown into the same block of flats, Jessica – who was engaged to Mark Cuevas – couldn’t let their attraction lie, and constantly pulled him for chats about their relationship.

And, speaking about the scenes, Amber admitted she had ‘no idea’ what was going on behind her back.

‘Looking back it’s hilarious because a lot of people were saying, “wow you really held your cool when she was throwing herself at your fiancé.” I had no idea, because what she was saying to Barnett, that’s what I was seeing,’ she said.

Lifting the lid on what we may not have seen on camera, she explained that she had an honest chat with LC about her feelings for Barnett – making sure they were both ‘honest and supportive’ of each other.

However, she claimed that Jessica kept tight-lipped over their connection.

‘LC and I were really honest with each other and supportive that we both had feelings for Barnett at the time. Because we respected each other, we kept our distance,’ she continued to Entertainment Weekly.

Jessica didn’t go through with her marriage to Mark Cuevas (Picture: Netflix)

‘We didn’t want to hear about each other’s’ dates, we didn’t want to hurt each other’s’ feelings. So to see that Jessica was playing it left field, and as shady as she was, I was really offended that she disrespected me in that way, when I thought we had a rapport and were at least some type of friends.

‘I had no idea. I thought maybe she had a crush on him, which I was trying to be understanding of.

‘I really hope she grows from that, a lot of growing can be done.’

While Barnett added that he hasn’t spoken to Jessica ‘since the show ended’ and she walked out on her wedding to Mark.

Following the dramatic finale – which was filmed back in December – Bamber (it works) are still totally loved-up, and are living their best lives together.

And an insider told Women’s Health Jessica has ‘remained single’ and is ‘focusing on herself’ for now.

Love Is Blind is available to stream on Netflix now.

Lori Loughlin’s attorney thinks they can prove she is innocent in college admissions scandal and it’s all thanks to new evidence

Lori Loughlin’s attorney thinks they will be able to prove that she is innocent when it comes to charges she is facing amid the college admissions scandal.

In November, Lori and her husband Mossimo Giannulli pleaded not guilty to charges they were facing for their alleged involvement in the scam, where they have been accused of paying bribes to get their daughters into college.

It’s been reported that the pair could face up to 50 years in prison if convicted, but after new evidence has come to light, Lori’s attorney thinks they will be able to prove that the Fuller House star is innocent.

Lori is facing charges of bribery, money laundering conspiracy, conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud, and honest services mail and wire fraud.

Just Jared reports that notes, written from Rick Singer who was at the helm of the scandal, suggest he was coerced into saying Lori and her husband’s donations were actually bribes.

In new papers, Lori’s attorney says the notes suggest the donations were ‘legitimate’ and argued the new information is ‘exonerating’ for Lori and Mossimo, who have been charged with bribery.

Macy, after being sentenced in connection with a nationwide college admissions cheating scheme in Boston, Massachusetts, U.S., September 13, 2019. REUTERS/Katherine Taylor - RC19D90F0760 Felicity Huffman's daughter will get a second bite of the apple -- as in she can take another SAT test -- because there's no proof she was involved in rigging the first one she took. As we extensively reported, Felicity paid Rick Singer $15k to get a proctor to cheat up daughter Sophia's SAT score. The proctor gave Sophia extra time to take the exam and then fixed some of the wrong answers. For that, Felicity pled guilty to a felony and will serve 14 days. We've heard Sophia wants to go to college and must take a legit SAT test. Here's the thing ... the College Board security policy states,
Felicity Huffman was arrested in connection to the scandal and served 11 days in prison, paid a $30,000 fine and was ordered to carry out 250 hours of community service (Picture: Reuters)

It’s claimed the note reads: ‘They continue to ask me to tell a fib and not restate what I told my clients as to where there money was going — to the program not the coach and that it was a donation and they want it to be a payment.’

The papers claim: ‘Singer’s notes indicate that FBI agents yelled at him and instructed him to lie by saying that he told his clients who participated in the alleged “side door” scheme that their payments were bribes, rather than legitimate donations that went to the schools.’

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Lori Loughlin’s rep for comment.

Loughlin and Giannulli have been charged among several others, after allegedly paying $500,000 (£409,000) to falsely designate their daughters Olivia Jade and Bella as recruits to the University Of Southern California crew team, even though neither of them had ever participated in the sport.

Desperate Housewives star Felicity Huffman was arrested in connection to the scandal and pleaded guilty to paying $15,000 (£12,100) to doctor her daughter’s university entrance exams.

She was sentenced to 14 days in prison, but was released after just 11 days and was forced to pay a $30,000 fine (£23,800) and undertake 250 hours of community service.

A former Jeremy Kyle guest thinks the host shouldn’t ‘be allowed’ to make a comeback as ‘no one would ever trust what he says’.

Jeremy’s comeback was confirmed on Thursday as his agent revealed he will ‘have his say’ after a year of ‘battling the unimaginable consequences’.

The presenter’s representative took to social media telling followers to ‘watch this space’ as she shared a photo of the star, along with a lengthy post.

Although following the announcement, Kane Manning, who appeared on the show on 4 July 2017, told Metro.co.uk that ‘it’s too late’ for the 54-year-old to reboot his career.

‘When I heard about it, I couldn’t believe it as it has come out of nowhere,’ Kane began.

‘He got all of that backlash before so he thought he’d have a break, but does he think he can come back and pretend nothing has happened? The damage has been done now and no one would ever trust what he says.’

‘He shouldn’t be allowed to come back, he has left it too late. He won’t be able to have a TV career, look at the damage he caused there’s nothing that will come back from that.’

The Jeremy Kyle Show was pulled off the air in May 2019 after guest Steve Dymond, 62, died by suicide following an appearance on the show where he failed a lie detector test.

Mr Dymond was found dead in his home just days after appearing on the programme leading to its immediate cancellation, sparking a huge debate about the programme’s aftercare procedure and moral compass.

And while the ITV host has remained silent until now, his rep Claire Powell revealed he will be back very soon to have his say.

In the Instagram post where she made the announcement, Claire began: ‘So pleased to welcome the very talented and very real … Jeremy Kyle exclusively to @the_can_group For 14 years, Jeremy Kyle dominated Daytime TV with his hugely successful eponymous talk show.

‘He’s also proved a hit in prime time, fronting five successful series of his investigative current affairs brand, The Kyle Files.. Jeremy’s runaway UK success was the catalyst for two syndicated US series as well as stints presenting two other ITV juggernauts, This Morning and Good Morning Britain. [sic]’

The post continued: ‘Jeremy first came to prominence as a Sony Award-winning radio host who changed the game at BRMB, Virgin Radio, Capital FM, talkSPORT and talkRADIO. Known for his honest, engaging opinions, Jeremy has also authored numerous columns for The Sun and a bestselling book for Hodder & Stoughton.

‘A committed father and family man, he’s also a cancer survivor who has miraculously just welcomed a new son (and grandson!) into the world.’

Claire went on to explain that after a tough year the 54-year-old would be ‘back soon to have his say’.

‘WATCH THIS SPACE!’ she wrote.

However, Kane believes that if The Jeremy Kyle Show ever did come back, it would put more people at risk.

He continued: ‘Personally if it does come back and he has his say, it’s too late, even if he apologises it’s not good enough because it’s almost been a year since Steve’s death.

‘Steve Dymond’s family are still grieving, it would be good if he apologised a year ago, but he will be reminded of all that backlash and that no one wants him back.’

‘I mean everyone deserves a second chance but in my opinion, it is pointless, no one will listen,’ he added.

‘I wouldn’t trust anything he said. He won’t change, the damage is done.’

Metro.co.uk has reached out to Jeremy Kyle’s rep for a comment.

BTS fans freak out as Jungkook gets ‘eaten’ by a crow in mysterious ON music video

BTS really gave their fans something different in the music video for their new single ON.

After a pretty swanky performance video featuring the guys and a ton of backing dancers, the K-pop group have flipped everything on its head with a video full of biblical references and imagery (and a fierce dance break).

The ARMY fanbase have been trying to figure all the theories and storylines from the video, but there’s one strange scene in particular that got them talking.

In the video Jungkook, with his hands tied at the wrists, is seen running through fields until he stops and falls to the ground.

We see his eyes slowly close, and when they open J-Hope is in the foreground delivering his verse with a body – seemingly Jungkook’s – lying in a heap behind him.

Disturbingly, a crow perches on top of him and pecks at him before flying away.

The scene sparked the idea that Jungkook had died and the bird was feasting on his corpse (bit dark). But other fans saw the funny side as J-Hope was busy rapping while his bandmate clearly needed his help.

ON comes from BTS’ new album Map Of The Soul: 7, which they are set to take on the road in a world tour later this year.








Speaking on New Music Daily recently, they described this comeback as ‘like a big diary for our past seven years’.

RM explained: ‘‘It’s kind of about how we could stumble from time to time but we get, we got back up. And so, like, ON is, like, when did people first hear about the title ON? It’s like, what’s ON? ‘You know, it’s like, it’s very brief. When we say ON it’s like, we on, or, like, on air. It’s like, bring it on. We, we could like imagine it many things.

‘Yeah, so it’s like a declaration for that we have admitted our, like, destiny, you know, all the, all the pains and all the shadows.’

Jennifer Aniston didn’t invite Elisabeth Moss to her birthday party, Elizabeth Moss is sad about it

Elisabeth Moss confessed that Jennifer Aniston didn’t invite her to her 50th birthday party, she just wanted to pretend that she had.

The Handmaid’s Tale star is now pals with the Friends actress after meeting her at the Screen Actors Guild Awards this year.

She recalled when people thought she had been a guest at Jennifer’s 50th because she was pictured leaving the same hotel as her.

‘I literally have never officially met her. And we were staying…well, I was at this hotel and my brother was dropping me off…and I walked into the hotel and there were all these paparazzi outside, so I was like, “Who’s here?” And I asked and they said it was Jennifer Aniston’s birthday party,’ she told Jimmy Kimmel on his show.

The Mad Men actress added that she played along with the headlines.

She continued: ‘The next day, I had all these interviews and they were asking me, like, “Oh, my God. Did you have an amazing time at Jen’s party? Oh, my God. You went to Jen’s birthday party?” And I decided I wanted to just, kind of, go with it. I wanted to be like, “Yeah, I did. We’re really close.”

‘Just like, “Me, Jen and Courteney Cox, you know?” No, ’cause we’ve never met and I was like, “She’s going to think I’m such a weirdo.”‘

Returning back to when they crossed paths at the 2020 SAGs, Elizabeth joked that Jen is simply ‘very handsy’ which would explain her viral moment with ex Brad Pitt at the event.

According to Elizabeth, the actress was just ‘very handsy’ (Picture: Getty)

‘Well, everyone thinks that moment with Brad where they were holding hands was a big deal,’ she said, ‘but honestly, she seems to just be doing this with everybody. I mean, she’s just very handsy.’

Jennifer celebrated her 50th birthday in LA and threw a bash to mark the occasion with her celebrity pals at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Reports at the time claimed that the Once Upon A Time In Hollywood star made a low key entrance to the bash.

Other guests in attendance included Ellen DeGeneres, Katy Perry and Orlando Bloom, Robert Downey Jr and Barbra Streisand.

Brad and Jen first got together in 1998, getting married in 2000 and divorcing five years later.

Frances Tomelty has revealed the struggles of playing a blind character on tonight’s Death in Paradise tonight.

The Inspector Morse star will make a guest appearance on Thursday night’s episode where she will play successful actress Olivia Reeves.

Frances explained that her character turned her back on acting after she went blind and moved to Saint Marie with her husband ‘in search of a different life’.

Although when preparing for her role, the 71-year-old revealed she met up with a woman who went blind at the age of 12 to help her get into character.

‘I did things with my eyes closed,’ she began. ‘Swimming, showering, dressing.’

‘Ella, our lovely producer, arranged a meeting with a young woman named Rilanna who went blind aged 12 and who is full of light.

‘She showed me how to navigate unfamiliar spaces. To listen and smell and intuit where people stood and to read their differing energies.’

Frances continued: ‘She remembered colours. She had pink hair and asked if I liked her shorts. “Blue like the sky!” she said.’

Frances won’t be the only famous face to make an appearance during the last episode of series nine, as Andi Osho will also be in the line-up playing Precious Abellard.

Andi explained: ‘Precious is a local cab driver and we meet her when she is helping the soon-to-be murder victim’s son, Archie.

‘They’ve come back from going shopping and Archie is going to make a meal so Precious is yabbering away in his ear giving him the recipe that he needs to cook.

‘Precious thinks he doesn’t really know what he’s doing.’

Death in Paradise airs on Thursday at 9pm on BBC One.

Ben Affleck has opened up about the lessons he has learned while working on his recovery and sobriety, crediting his children with being understanding about his struggles.

He told People: ‘A lot of the things that you learn in the process of dealing with addiction are good life lessons anyways. Be honest, take responsibility for your mistakes and help other people.

‘Kids are resilient. They appreciate the truth. Kids, if you’re honest and open with them, can forgive failings and setbacks, and they want to love you and respect you. That’s my approach to fatherhood.

‘I’ve talked to my kids pretty honestly about tough times. I try to be honest with them and say the most important thing is to be open and honest about how you’re feeling and when you’re not feeling good, to say “this is difficult for me” and to reach out to their parent and teachers.’

Ben shares three children with his ex, Jennifer Garner – 14-year-old Violet, Seraphina, 11, and Sam, eight.

He admitted that parenting is often ‘trial and error’ and as long as he is doing his best, they understand he won’t be perfect all of the time.

Ben has been working on his sobriety, and explained that it helped to avoid obsessing and worrying about relapses and setbacks.

He chooses to focus on the positives and taking each day as it comes, and appreciating every day that he sticks to his plan.

Ben previously opened up about his issues with alcohol, telling The New York Times: ‘I drank relatively normally for a long time.

‘What happened was that I started drinking more and more when my marriage was falling apart. This was 2015, 2016. My drinking, of course, created more marital problems.’

He entered rehab in 2017, saying in a statement on Facebook: ‘I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I’ve dealt with in the past and will continue to confront.

‘I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be. I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step.

‘I’m lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I’ve done the work I set out to do. This was the first of many steps being taken towards a positive recovery.’
