Borderlands 3 will soon be available to Steam users, as Gearbox promises cowboys and dinosaurs for the third DLC expansion.

Steam users rejoice! Borderlands 3’s Epic Games Store exclusivity is nearing its end, as Gearbox have announced that its looter shooter will be made available on Steam in a couple of weeks on 13 March.

The announcement came from PAX East and the release will also feature PC cross-play with the Epic Games Store version, so all PC users can play together regardless of which version they own.

Other cross-play features, like the ability to mail weapons across platforms, will be added during the following weeks.

That wasn’t all Gearbox had to show off, however, as it had announcements regarding the game’s future for the rest of the year.

The first of these was a trailer for the second campaign DLC, Guns, Loves, And Tentacles. Players will be invited to the wedding of NPCs Alistair Hammerlock and Wainwright Jakobs, which was teased during Borderlands 3’s end credits.

Unfortunately, their wedding will be threatened by occultists that want to stop the wedding, so players must team up with returning fan-favourite Gaige (one of the playable characters from Borderlands 2) to make sure Hammerlock and Jakobs get their happily ever after.

According to the official blurb, the DLC will include the following:

• Reunite with old friends and team up with some eerie new characters to help true love triumph over eldritch horror;
• Confront bloodthirsty enemies and formidable bosses, including alien beasts, hideously mutated occultists, and a clan of cold-blooded bandits;
• Delve into the disturbing and occasionally daft backstories of cursed townfolk in a host of spine-tingling side missions;
• Arm your Vault Hunter with some of the deadliest gear in the galaxy, including a trove of additional Legendaries and some supremely powerful Class Mods
• Flaunt your sense of style with a slew of new cosmetic items, from Vault Hunter Heads & Skins to interactive Room Decorations and all-new Vehicle Skins.

Guns, Loves, And Tentacle will be out on 26 March.

Gearbox didn’t stop there though. It also shared some concept art to tease the third DLC expansion that’s planned for the summer (which will apparently feature outlaws and dinosaurs) and a roadmap detailing content updates over the next few months.

In April, Mayhem Mode 2.0 will be added as part of a free update, which will alter how the Mayhem modifiers work.

A limited event called Revenge Of The Cartels will also be running in April, where players will track down and take out cartel operatives to earn event-specific rewards.

Then in May, the Guardian Takedown event will arrive, which Gearbox says will offer ‘some of the most challenging content in the game.’

‘This intense standalone mission will be themed after the mysterious Eridians and will feature not only new bosses but new gear and cosmetics as well,’ says Gearbox.

‘The difficulty will scale to the size of the player party by default. However, if you want to experience the Takedown in its true form, you can select ‘True Takedown Mode,’ which tunes the difficulty for a party of four fully levelled-up Vault Hunters regardless of party size.’

The full Gearbox PAX East panel can be seen on its official Twitch channel, where Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford also talks with Eli Roth, the director for the upcoming Borderlands movie.

Borderlands 3 is available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC and Stadia.

Paul Gascoigne has opened up about his ‘mad’ plan to ‘save’ Raoul Moat during the killer’s stand-off with police almost 10 years ago.

The former England star said he felt like he could get through to Raoul – who was then Britain’s most wanted man – while the murderer was on the run in July 2010.

Raoul had shot his ex-girlfriend, her new boyfriend and a police officer just days after being released from prison and was finally tracked down to a village in Northumberland after a week of evading police.

Paul, 52, was at the height of his drugs and alcohol addiction and had ‘snorted 14 lines of coke’ when he showed up at the cordoned-off field in his dressing gown with a ‘fishing rod, some chicken and four cans of lager’.

Recalling the bizarre incident, the footballer legend admitted he’d thought he was the ‘best therapist in the world’ and could help ‘Moaty’.

‘I just remember that I was in a taxi, I had a fishing rod, some chicken, four cans of lager and a fishing jacket,’ he told Mirror Online.

‘I thought that I could take Raoul Moat fishing because he was near a river.’

Paul went on: ‘I was telling the taxi driver I could save him. I told him, “Listen, I have been through so much, I am the best therapist in the world, I can save him”. I think that I genuinely believed that.’

When the former athlete got out, he headed straight to the scene where Moat was surrounded in a field and asked police ‘where’s Moaty’.

Paul’s arrival was captured live on the news and his appearance had people wondering if he was related to Moat or a friend of the killer.

He was turned away and told to go home. Moat shot himself the next morning and Paul woke several hours later to hundreds of missed calls and texts.

Recalling the incident during a talk in Newcastle this week, Paul added that he felt he could help Raoul because: ‘I’d been to rehab so many times I’m a connoisseur.’

He’d been havnig a whiskey and cocaine binge at home when he convinced himself that the murderer was his ‘brother’.

Paul was also familiar with the area Raoul has been apprehended in as he’d gone fishing there before.

‘I’m not realising much but a good line and me and Raoul Moat are sort of friends. A couple more lines and we are good buddies,’ the football star said.

He continued: ‘A few whiskies, another few lines, I’ve had about eight lines and we went to school together.’

‘He was in Rothbury, that’s where I used to go fishing so I know the area quite well,’ Paul said.

Raoul wounded his ex-girlfriend Samantha Stobbart then shot dead her new boyfriend Chris Brown, 29, on July 3, 2010 – two days after being released from Durham prison.

Hours later, Moat, 37, shot and blinded PC David Rathband in both eyes – who tragically took his own life two years later.

Paul’s interview about his infamous Raoul intervention comes after he relapsed over Christmas despite a £20,000 radical new treatment in which anti-drug pellets were sewn into his groin.

The troubled star teared up as he admitted that he still can’t bring himself to quit the booze but can ‘control it better’ with the new pills that make him sick if he drinks spirits.

Halsey has said her miscarriages made her ‘the most inadequate I’ve ever felt’.

The 25-year-old, who has endometriosis, has suffered three miscarriages, including one which occurred while she was performing on stage.

And the Without Me singer has called the traumatic experience ‘demoralising’.

Speaking to the Guardian, Halsey – real name Ashley Frangipane – said: ‘It’s the most inadequate I’ve ever felt. Here I am achieving this out-of-control life, and I can’t do the one thing I’m biologically put on this earth to do.

‘Then I have to go onstage and be this sex symbol of femininity and empowerment? It is demoralising.’

However, despite her health struggles, she has since been told that motherhood is ‘looking like something that’s gonna happen for me. That’s a miracle.’

Halsey – who is currently dating Evan Peters, and had previous relationships with Yungblud and G-Eazy – previously spoke on The Doctors in 2018 over the miscarriage that urged her to seek surgery for her endometriosis, and to freeze her eggs.

The Closer singer said: ‘I was on tour, and I found out I was pregnant.

‘Before I could really figure out what that meant to me and what that meant for my future… the next thing I knew I was on stage miscarrying in the middle of my concert.

‘The sensation of looking a couple hundred teenagers in the face while you’re bleeding through your clothes and still having to do the show, and realising in that moment… I never want to make that choice ever again of doing what I love or not being able to because of this disease.’

Endometriosis is a condition where pieces of the womb lining are found outside the uterus, including in the ovaries and fallopian tubes.

It can lead to extreme pain and difficulty conceiving.

The popstar sings about her desire to have a child on More from her new album Manic, which features the lyrics: ‘Wooden floors and little feet/ A flower bud in concrete/ Feeling so incomplete/ Wonder will we ever meet?’

Grey’s Anatomy fans haven’t had any closure since Alex Karev bowed out of the hospital drama without any swansong.

Justin Chambers took what was initially believed to be a break from the hospital drama before the 49-year-old confirmed he was leaving Grey’s behind for good after 16 years.

Karev’s last appearance came and went on November 15 in the US which saw the pediatrician diving in to help Meredith (Ellen Pompeo).

Then he was gone, with his pals at Seattle Grace explaining Karev is taking time out to look after his mother (Linda Wagner), who is suffering from schizophrenia.

The promo for next week’s instalment is basically the overdue tribute to one of the only four original cast members who lasted this long – almost two decades – without being bumped off.

Confirming his departure last month, Justin told fans via Deadline: ‘There’s no good time to say goodbye to a show and character that’s defined so much of my life for the past 15 years.

‘For some time now, however, I have hoped to diversify my acting roles and career choices.

‘And, as I turn 50 and am blessed with my remarkable, supportive wife and five wonderful children, now is that time.’

He’s since revealed a slight career change, producing documentaries.

‘That’s what I’m interested in right now,’ he told Page Six.

Grey’s Anatomy continues next Thursday on ABC in the US and will follow at a later date on Sky Witness.

Lucifer fans, it’s time to get excited, as it looks as though there could be another installment of the seductive drama, despite its cancellation.

That’s right, after Fox axed the show, Netflix decided to take it on for a further two seasons, with the fifth confirmed as its last.

However, it seems the Tom Ellis hit could have another lifeline as if reports are anything to go by, the streaming platform is ‘optimistic’ about its future.

When asked for any juicy gossip regarding the show’s return, Michael Ausiello, President and Editorial Director of TV Line, dished up everything he knew.

And we’re forever grateful.

He told the curious fan: ‘Negotiations between Warner Bros. Television and Netflix continue and both sides appear optimistic that a renewal deal will come to fruition.’

Turning his attention to season five, which is currently in the works, he added: ‘Length-wise, I’m hearing the bonus season would likely consist of between 10 and 13 episodes.’

The series was saved by the popular platform after fans took to Twitter with the online campaign, #SaveLucifer.

And the Satan star himself was more than impressed with their efforts, and thanked the fandom for their loyalty underneath a picture of himself on Instagram.

‘I took this selfie on March 17th 2015 just before leaving my trailer to shoot the first scene on the pilot episode of #Lucifer,’ he explained.

‘I was really nervous and at that moment I couldn’t have dreamed that we would get to where we are now…’

The 41-year-old continued: ‘I have had the most Amazing ride making life long friends and playing a character that I truly Love. It has been an utter privilege.

‘More importantly I want to say YOU the fans have been the cherry on the cake of this whole journey.

‘You will forever be precious to me and I cannot thank you enough for your passion, support and kindness for the past 4 and half years. Here’s to a Rocking season 5 and going out on a high!!!!!!!’

He also told TV Line: ‘Since doing Lucifer, I’ve done press in various parts of the world, and I’m fully aware that this show is much more popular than what it had seemed to be on Fox… So I’m not surprised about people being angry.

‘I just wasn’t ready this tsunami of love that came with it.’

Lucifer is currently available to stream on Netflix, while Metro.co.uk has reached out to Warner Bros. and Netflix for further comment.

Eagle-eyed Good Morning Britain viewers might have just solved a magic trick that saw a Britain’s Got Talent finalist made anchor Kate Garraway ‘disappear’ live on air.

The trick had been teased throughout the show, and it was introduced as the final segment, with Kate’s co-host Ben Shephard very much looking forward to it.

The I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! contestant had to first take off her heels and jump into a black box, with Darcy Oake closing the lid on her.

As it happened, Kate joked that she was a ‘contortionist’ but no-one was laughing as the Canadian magician announced that he was going to make the presenter disappear.

And what do you know – he actually did. Opening the box back up, it collapsed to the floor and Kate was nowhere to be seen.

Unfortunately, however, some fans back at home had been keeping an eye on their screens, and think they’d figured out how Darcy managed the seemingly impossible.

Many pointed out that the camera actually gave away what happened – there was a trapdoor on the studio floor which the box covered.

Of course it’s a trick floor and mirrors etc@but still very clever ! #GMB

Pity you could see the trap door when he collapsed the box. 🤦‍♂️ #GMB

‘They should have made the trap door in the table disappear first,’ one viewer wrote.

Another added: ‘Mirrored floor gives the illusion of the floor being there and then Kate basically climbed into the hole prior to the collapse.’

Well, at least we know that magic is now definitely not real.

However, no-one was more impressed by the feat than Tipping Point star Ben, who seemed genuinely thrilled that his co-worker had possibly been transported to another dimension.

‘You did it!’ He enthused. ‘Can anyone hear [Kate]? Normally you can hear her wherever she goes.

‘I’m very impressed, I’ve been trying to do that for years.’

Darcy thanked Ben – and also added cheekily that the trick would have been better with Piers Morgan in the box.

If he made Piers disappear, we might just have to declare a national holiday…

Good Morning Britain airs weekdays from 6am on ITV.

Peter Andre has welcomed Jeremy Kyle’s return to the limelight after the presenter’s show was axed over a guest’s suicide.

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

Jeremy has remained silent throughout the controversy but on Thursday, his manager announced he was making a comeback and was ready to ‘have his say’.

Peter – who shares the same agent – was quick to show his support for Jeremy.

The Mysterious Girl singer, 47, shared a snap of the presenter on Instagram and wrote: ‘Welcome to the family Jeremy :)’

His support came hours after their representative declared Jeremy’s return to showbiz.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9FVQ1jhuOo/

Sharing a photo of the star, their agent wrote: ‘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.’

She went on: ‘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.’

Their rep added that after a tough year, Jeremy would be ‘back soon to have his say’ and concluded: ‘WATCH THIS SPACE!’

Jeremy is already facing backlash over his comeback, as a former guest said ‘no-one would trust what he says’.

Kane Manning, who appeared on the show in 2017, told Metro.co.uk: ‘When I heard about it, I couldn’t believe it as it has come out of nowhere.

‘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?’

Kane added: ‘The damage has been done now and no one would ever trust what he says.’

James Newman’s Eurovision Song Contest entry is nothing to do with Britain or politics, with the artist just intent on getting onto the left hand side of the leaderboard.

The United Kingdom hasn’t had much luck at Eurovision in recent years, with 2019’s entry Michael Rice coming dead last with his song Bigger Than Us.

Michael blamed the result on Brexit, telling The Sun after the contest: ‘I always knew I was going to come in this position because of Brexit. Do you know what? If it was Gary Barlow or Elton John, they still probably would have come last too.’

However, claims that Newman will make a political statement with his song My Last Breath have been rubbished.

BMG UK president Alistair Norbury said at the launch for the UK entry on Thursday: ‘This song is not jingoistic. This song is not about Britain.

‘This song is not about anything other than a great love song, fantastically well written by James, with Ed Drewett, Adam Argyle and Iain James.

‘We have two aims. The first aim was to work with our partners, the BBC, and deliver something we can all be proud of as a UK music and entertainment industry. That job has been done.

‘The second aim is very simple. We said at the very beginning, in the first meeting, we are going to move from the right hand side of the scoreboard to the left hand side of the scoreboard.’

And Newman – the big brother of Love Me Again singer John Newman – joked that he could even take home the title.

He said: ‘I’m going to get the keys to London and a bus – the hero is coming home.’

The singer-songwriter said he wouldn’t be listening to the critics, and instead was focusing on the positivity surrounding the contest.

James said: ‘You just have to ignore it. There are 200 million people. Not everyone is going to like the song. But all I have seen is so much positivity so I am focusing on that.”

‘I have got a number seven song on iTunes right now and the video is trending worldwide. For a new artist, look at the platform.

‘Europe is such a massive place. The reach, you know. You are singing to 200 million people on the telly, which is pretty good. You can’t turn that down.’

James also praised his popstar brother for his support, but added: ‘I think he’s worried because he knows I am a better singer.’

The UK has come last at Eurovision four times since 2003 – Michael in 2019, Josh Dubovie with That Sounds Good To Me in 2008, Andy Abraham with Even If in 2008 and Jemini’s infamous performance of Cry Baby in 2003.

Blue has given the UK’s best standing in the past decade, coming in 11th place in 2011 with I Can. The last time the UK won was in 1997, when Katrina and The Waves came out on top with Love Shine A Light.

The Eurovision Song Contest takes place this May, with the grand final being held in Rotterdam on 16 May.

Hideo Kojima, the brains behind Death Stranding and the Metal Gear series, is having his work acknowledged at the BAFTAs in April.

While Death Stranding was certainly divisive amongst critics and fans, you can’t deny its imaginative and ambitious narrative, something that only Hideo Kojima could have come up with.

Fans of his work will be pleased to know that his accomplishments will soon be further acknowledged, as he is set to receive a Fellowship at the BAFTA Game Awards this April.

The Fellowship is the highest accolade the BAFTA can bestow, and is reserved for those that that have provided an outstanding contribution to the world of media.

‘Thank you very much for this precious BAFTA Fellowship award,’ said Kojima, ‘I am very honoured, and would like to take this moment to reflect on the many predecessors that came before me, as I deeply respect their contributions to entertainment, whether in movies, television, or games.

‘I would also like to thank those who have supported me over the years and I will continue my commitment to creating new and innovative ways that will push the world of ‘play’ entertainment forward.’

Previous gaming icons to have received a Fellowship include Nintendo’s own Shigeru Miyamoto (who created Mario and The Legend Of Zelda) and Sims creator Will Wright.

‘I am delighted that we are recognising Hideo Kojima’s remarkable career with a BAFTA Fellowship, the highest accolade presented by the Academy, at the BAFTA Games Awards on Thursday 2 April,’ said Amanda Berry OBE, Chief Executive of BAFTA.

‘Kojima is the trailblazing creator behind multiple games and is revered around the world for his innovative work.’

During his early days, Kojima worked as a designer and writer on narrative titles Snatcher and Policenauts which, even then, were well regarded for their cinematic presentation (Snatcher will be part of the PC Engine Mini).

It’s likely that the award has come now because of Death Stranding’s more mainstream success, where it won numerous awards and even had a special showcase organised by BAFTA for its release.

Death Stranding is available on PlayStation 4 and is planned to release on PC later this year.

Law & Order is the franchise that just won’t die as it’s been confirmed the American TV stalwart’s spin-off Special Victims Unit has been renewed for at least three more seasons across the pond.

The long-running crime drama is currently in its record-breaking 21st season, and the new renewal means that it will continue at least into season 24 – extending its run as the longest-running live-action series in US history.

Snaps, as always, to Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay).

The bumper extension also includes several of the spin-offs of the spin-off itself, like Chicago Fire, Chicago Med and Chicago PD.

All the shows fall under the umbrella of creator Dick Wolf, who himself has just signed a new five-year deal with Universal Television to keep his shows on home channel NBC. Think of the MCU, but with more lawyers and policemen.

‘I’m gratified and excited that Universal will remain our home for five more years,’ Wolf said in a statement.

‘This new term deal complements our recently concluded agreement to make Peacock one of the primary destinations for both the L&O and Chicago brands, as well as our extraordinary three-year NBC broadcast pickups on all four current series.

‘We are now supercharged to expand our business on new platforms, both domestically and internationally, while continuing to produce our current and future series for broadcasting and streaming networks.’

SVU first premiered in 1999 as a spin-off series to Wolf’s hugely successful Law & Order, which wrapped after 20 series.

Until last year, SVU was tied with its forerunner for the title of the longest-running primetime show alongside 50s favourite Western Gunsmoke.

The show is beaten to the title of longest-running show ever by The Simpsons, which is currently in its 31st season.

SVU focuses its detectives on crimes with vulnerable victims, such as rape, sexual assault and domestic violence.

Mariska’s character Olivia Benson has remained a stalwart of the series throughout its 20-year tenure on NBC, she has worked with an impressive number of stars in that time.

Bradley Cooper, Sex And The City’s Cynthia Nixon, Whoopi Goldberg and Robin Willliams are just some of the many guest stars who have appeared on SVU.

Law & Order: SVU airs on NBC in the US and Universal TV in the UK.

Red Velvet star Wendy is finally been discharged from hospital, two months after suffering a horror fall during rehearsals.

The 26-year-old was rehearsing for SBS Gayo Daejeon on Christmas Day 2019 when she fell from a two metre platform.

The singer broke her pelvis and wrist, and suffered facial injuries that prevented her from chewing.

However, after two months, Wendy has been discharged and is receiving outpatient treatment, believed to be physical therapy exercises.

It is expected it will be a while before Wendy rejoins her bandmates in activities.

The star returned to social media last week to mark her birthday, writing on Instagram: ‘Dear our ReVeluv, Hello everyone, it’s Wendy!

‘Missed me much? :) It’s been awhile since I’ve uploaded my latest post. I just wanted to thank you everyone for all the love and support you have shared with me on my birthday. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Also, I’m recovering very well, thanks to all of our ReVeluv♥️

‘As I said during my Instagram live, I won’t be going anywhere but always singing right next to you as Wendy. I hope to see you all soon on stage!

‘Thanks to you all, our Reveluv, for coming into my life and taking a huge part of my journey. Miss you lots.’

Following Wendy’s accident, it was reported that police were investigating SBS, due to claims stairs Wendy was supposed to walk down from the platform on were missing.

The network said: ‘Right after the accident took place on December 25, the staff blocked off the area and called for emergency services so that Wendy could be rushed to the hospital and undergo a thorough examination.

‘We have begun an internal investigation into understanding the exact details of the accident, and once we fully understand the cause, we will take greater care to ensure that such an accident does not occur again.’

Rochelle Humes was forced to step in at the last minute on This Morning after Ruth Langsford was struck down with an illness.

And it seems Eamonn Holmes was fine with the shakeup as he made a quick jibe at his poorly wife, live on air.

After announcing the news that his regular right-hand woman was resting up at home, the 60-year-old turned his attention to his new presenting buddy.

‘If you’re thinking Ruth looks very well today, it’s Rochelle,’ he quipped before being told off by the singer.

The 30-year-old hit back: ‘You say the same thing every time and I tell you not to!’

But despite the unexpected change around, viewers at home welcomed Rochelle with open arms.

‘Nice to see Rochelle And Eamonn presenting today,’ one wrote on Twitter while another said: ‘Yay Rochelle is on.’

Others showed their concern for Ruth, with someone adding: ‘Omg where is Ruth?’

Eamonn then explained how Ruth couldn’t make the show after falling ill.

This isn’t the first time he’s made a joke aimed at his wifey, as just last week the presenter compared Ruth’s feet to a goat.

The TV couple discussed the seductive activity as they talked about a viral article that listed other ways to show your partner you love them other than having sex, with the story also suggesting buying nice underwear, holding hands, and gifting them chocolate.

Joined by Martin and Shirlie Kemp in the studio, Eamonn began: ‘I have beautiful toes, lovely. Do you [Ruth] even look at them?’

‘Do I suck them? No,’ blasted Ruth.

Although he bigged up his own trotters, Eamonn wasn’t so pleased about his wife’s feet, and joked: ‘You’ve got the feet of goats.’

This Morning continues weekdays at 10am on ITV.

Daniel Craig wasn’t always allowed to drive his swanky James Bond car in No Time To Die because guess what? It was just too damn dangerous.

The 51-year-old – who was already in a bad way due to a pesky exploding ankle – wasn’t trusted behind the wheel of his Aston Martin DB5 during the high-speed chase scenes in Italy.

We can practically feel poor Craigy’s disappointment from here.

Daniel revealed his stunt driver Mark Higgins had to take his place during the seriously high-octane action shots in his upcoming final 007 film.

‘You know we fake it, don’t you?’ the Knives Out actor told Top Gear Magazine.

‘We’re not allowed to do that any more, although I do go driving.’

He conceded: ‘I was allowed to donut the DB5 in Matera [in Italy], which was great.’

Mark previously spoke about the action scenes and said that while the film uses stunt doubles, everything ‘done is real’.

‘I think a lot of these films are going away from CGI and trying to make it as real as possible,’ he told Esquire.

‘The environment we were driving in was very, very restricted and very, very tight. So it’s a difficult place to work in.’

Tbh, we do think Daniel’s a bit relieved to get a free pass from some of the tougher scenes, seeing as he broke his leg while filming 2015’s Spectre.

The poor man injured his knee during a fight scene with Dave Bautista in his last outing and had to get arthroscopic surgery – which is painful enough trying to spell let alone go through.

He admitted to Entertainment Weekly: ‘I finished that movie with a broken leg. I had to question myself: Was I physically capable of doing [another one] or did I want to do another one?

‘Because that phone call to your wife saying “I’ve broken my leg” is not pleasant.’

Still, the star – who has daughter Ella, 26, with ex-wife Fiona Loudon and a 15-month-old daughter with current wife Rachel Weisz – signed up for No Time To Die and was hit by another serious injury again when his ankle ‘exploded’.

He explained: ‘I was running down a floating dock, and it was wet, and I slipped, and I fell over, and my ankle exploded.

‘Unfortunately, I’ve been in the same situation before and I know the feeling of a rupturing tendon. I was just like, “Oh, f**k”.’

This guy. He just cannot catch a break.

Comedian Peter Kay is returning to the stage as ‘DJ PK’ for a series of six charity dance-a-thons across the UK, having cancelled his last tour two years ago.

The events will see audience members on the dance floor with Peter on the decks.

The much-loved Bolton-born star previously hosted 14 of the three-hour specials before taking time out of show-business.

The comic said: ‘I’ve honestly never had so much fun as I had working on Dance For Life. 

‘The atmosphere was so happy and positive. It really is a great way to raise money for the worthiest of causes.

‘All people have to do is turn up and dance.’

Kay was previously booked for a 26-date arena tour, but had to cancel in December 2017 due to ‘unforeseen family circumstances.’

Peter Kay Celebration tour dates

Tickets went on sale today (28 February) at 9.00am (GMT). Here are his full UK tour dates:

• Friday 10 April – Manchester Central
• Saturday 11 April – Manchester Central
• Friday 08 May – Echo Arena Liverpool
• Saturday 09 May – Echo Arena Liverpool
• Friday 29 May – Alexandra Palace
• Saturday 30 May – Alexandra Palace

The dates – which will see venues turned into massive club nights – will also feature Car Share actress Sian Gibson.

Tickets are available on Ticketmaster, and prices start from £31.35 for an adult ticket.

Since 2016, Peter has held 14 Dance For Life dates, raising thousands for Cancer Research UK – and this year all funds will once again go to the charity.

Caro Evans, director of partnerships at Cancer Research UK, added: ‘We are so grateful to Peter for hosting his epic Dance For Life events to help us fund vital research to beat cancer.

‘We need as many people as possible to join Peter and make a difference by dancing the night away.’

Simon Cowell is a man of many talents but his acting skills leave little to be desired, according to Ant and Dec.

The duo appeared on Lorraine today filming their latest ‘Whodunnit?’ style comedic thriller for Saturday Night Takeaway, which follows a celebrity who has been struck down with the squits – an alien infection.

Among the roster of talent starring in the weekly series is Amanda Holden, Love Island champ Amber Gill and Simon, who is abysmal when it comes to the theatre.

‘Keep it between us but normally he’s atrocious at delivering lines,’ Dec told Lorraine reporter AJ Odudu. ‘But today he was absolutely brilliant. I don’t know what’s happened to him.

‘I think he’s been taking acting lessons.’

The music mogul has famously shed almost two stone since turning to a vegan diet inspired by his son, Eric Cowell.

‘Maybe that’s how he lost all the weight – he’s got the squits,’ Dec teased.

Saturday Night Takeaway returned last Saturday after a two-year hiatus following Ant McPartlin’s arrest for drink-driving in 2017.

The presenter has since presented a series of Britain’s Got Talent and I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Our of Here! but for SNT it had been a long time coming.

During the show, a couple grieving their late daughter were given a £260,000 house which they’ve since moved into, bringing everyone watching at home to tears – even if the studio audience accidentally started laughing.

And the show was unfairly hit by almost 100 Ofcom complaints as the Pussycat Dolls hit back to the hundreds who called the TV watchdog over their X Factor performance last December by repeating their racy routine while Ant and Dec tried – and failed – to cover them up.

Saturday Night Takeaway returns tomorrow night at 7pm on ITV. Lorraine airs weekdays at 9pm on the same channel.

Gavin and Stacey fans have been left eager for another series after the Christmas special ended on one heck of a cliffhanger.

However, it seems Pamela star Alison Steadman is uncertain about the comedy’s future, despite the huge ratings the seasonal episode picked up.

When appearing on This Morning, the 73-year-old was put on the spot over whether or not there will be another installment.

And it turns out she’s in the dark just as much as viewers are.

‘I have no idea,’ she said before admitting: ‘I would doubt it, only because James Corden is in America, he’s such a big star now and Ruth Jones is so busy writing novels.’

Host Eamonn Holmes suggested another Christmas special, to which Alison beamed: ‘A special would be amazing, but we’ll see.’

Turning her attention to the show’s return, which left fans needing answers after Nessa got down on one knee for Smithy, the actress spoke about what it was like to get back on set.

‘It was amazing,’ the star gushed: ‘It was the best thing, beacuse we never thought it would happen. I was convinced!

‘It had been 10 years, I had been asked over and over again and I said, “no, it won’t happen let’s let it lie,’ then suddenly I got a text from Ruth.’

‘She said, “if this happened, would you be willing to take part?”‘ the Pride and Prejudice actress shared: ‘And I nearly dropped my phone.’

The Christmas special was a hit with fans, seeing it rake in the biggest overnight Christmas Day ratings since 2008.

More than 11.48 million viewers tuned in to see the return of the much-loved sitcom, with figures peaking at 12.3 million.

Addressing its success, Alison said: ‘I kept worrying, because everyone was talking to me about it.

‘I was like, “don’t build it up so much, because if you build it up and then you watch and umm and ahh…” But that didn’t happen.’

And it certainly did not, as the hour-long ep scored the highest ratings for more than a decade, and was pipped to the post by the BBC’s Wallace & Gromit: A Matter of Loaf and Death, which peaked with 14.4 million, in 2008.

Gavin and Stacey Christmas special is available for catch-up on BBC iPlayer.

YouTuber Ricky Dillon has received an outpouring of love from his friends and fans after coming out as gay.

Uploading his video I’m Gay, Ricky revealed he’d faced ‘crippling anxiety’ at the thought of telling his family.

‘I am gay, I’m gay, I’ve barely said this out loud so I’m saying it several times to normalise it to myself,’ the YouTube star said. ‘I am gay and I’m finally okay with it, because it’s been a long journey to get there.’

He added that he’d felt ‘inauthentic and disingenuous’ over the past couple of years after he began to realise he was gay.

‘I am one thousand percent sure that I am gay and the more I realise that, the more inauthentic and disingenuous I felt with my online persona,’ Ricky said.

The 27-year-old opened up about his family’s Christian beliefs, saying: ‘I was taught that being gay is a horrible sin…it was drilled into my brain from an early age that being gay is the worst thing that can happen.’

Revealing that he was filming the video before telling his family, he went on to say: ‘The crippling anxiety I have gone through the past couple of years and especially the past few months has been because I have been terrified to tell my family that I am gay, because I’m so terrified they’re not going to accept me.’

However, he credited his fellow YouTubers who have come out over the past couple of years with giving him the courage to make his own coming out video.

Over the past year, stars including Lilly Singh, Daniel Howell, Phil Lester, and Eugene Lee Yang have come out, with each of them receiving an outpouring of love.

And Ricky’s no different, receiving countless messages of support from friends and fans, with Gabbie Hanna telling him: ‘Rickkkkkyyy my boy <3 im so happy you were finally able to be public with this. youre such a beautiful, pure person and deserve to feel free & whole. so very proud of you.’

Grayson Dolan told him: ‘F**kin love you Rick. More than proud of you!!’ while his twin brother Ethan added: ‘So proud of you Ricky. I hope you’re feeling lifted. Love you man.’

Eugenia Cooney wrote: ‘I’m so happy for you Ricky!!! You deserve so much happiness and acceptance!! Sending lots of love to you!!!’

Meanwhile, fellow YouTuber RyansAverageLife penned a heartfelt message, writing: ‘Ricky Dillon is someone that i’ve always admired.

‘He’s had things go his way, and others go downhill and he’s always kept a positive outlook and worked hard to get himself into a better spot. I’m proud of him for truly showing the world who he really is, he’s a true role model.’

Sofia Vergara has been confirmed as the new judge on America’s Got Talent, joining Simon Cowell, Heidi Klum, and Howie Mandel.

The 47-year-old broke the news just days after wrapping up on Modern Family, announcing she’ll be trying her luck judging thousands of variety acts when AGT returns later this year.

‘I’m so happy to join my new family on AGT,’ the Colombian-born actress enthused on Instagram.

‘This is a new and exciting next chapter for me and I’m extremely proud to be the first Latin judge on the show.

‘I can’t wait to watch all the talent and have fun with all you guys.’

No one is more excited than supermodel Heidi – who returned to the panel after a brief break for the latest series of Champions – calling the news ‘the icing on an already delicious cake’.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B9FvemylTe5/

AGT just crowned its second winner of America’s Got Talent: The Champions in V.Ubeatable, an acrobatic dance troupe from Mumbai.

Their win came as the reality series has been hit with accusations of racism after Gabrielle Union was dropped from the panel after just one season, with the star claiming she was told her hair and wardrobe were ‘too black’.

‘I don’t take notes on anti-blackness,’ she later wrote on social media.

‘Unapologetically me. Be comfortable and confident with your whole a*s self. It might give others the fluuuxxx but never stop being you.

‘You can shine on your own terms. And if you got something to say I don’t take notes rooted in anti-blackness. I love me as I am.’

The Bring It On actress has gone on to make several complaints against ‘the culture’ on America’s Got Talent which NBC have said they’re investigating.

America’s Got Talent returns to NBC later this year and will follow on Netflix UK.

Skai Jackson has got a restraining order against Bhad Bhabie, after the rapper threatened to ‘kill’ her on Instagram Live.

Jessie star Skai, 17, was granted a restraining order by a judge, according to TMZ, which orders Bhad Bhabie – real name Danielle Bregoli – to say 100 yards away from Jackson, her home and her place of work.

Bregoli, 16, is also banned from contacting her rival in any form.

In court filings, Skai said she was fearful to leave her house alone and was struggling to sleep since the threats were made.

She also included alleged messages from Bregoli from four months ago, in which the rapper allegedly wrote: ‘I’ll dog you… This what’s gon get you ducked up, f***ed up bad.’

However, Bhad Bhabie doesn’t seem too bothered by the restraining order.

Posting a picture of a gold record for her song Bestie ft Kodak Black, the teenager wrote: ‘You can try to hate me for responding to bulls*** with more bulls*** but that’s just who I am and I don’t apologize for none of it. I been in this fake ass hollywood world for 3 1/2 years now and I’ve done ALOT when the whole world said I couldn’t, but I refuse to become as fake as hollywood is.

‘Y’all can play around on your finstas but I’ll always say what’s on my mind as cuz that’s who I am. Go get your restraining order, Imma go get checks [sic].’

Bhad Bhabie has accused Skai of mocking her on a fake Instagram account, or Finsta, as well as claiming Jackson is flirting with men linked to her, including NBA YoungBoy.

On an Instagram Live, Bhad Bhabie seethed: ‘She’s moving sneaky bro. Don’t go post about me on your fake page, b****.

‘B****, I’ll kill you! I’ll really kill you!’

She continued: ‘I’m finna go to jail behind a Disney thot. B****, what are you even doing in these men’s DMs? … Like you just trying to get me mad at this point.

‘I see what you’re doing, and it’s going to get you killed. Like, that’s the thing: I’m gonna f***ing kill you. Don’t post your location…because I’m coming.’

Bhad Bhabie shot to fame on a segment 2016 episode of Dr Phil called ‘I Want To Give Up My Car-Stealing, Knife-Wielding, Twerking 13-Year-Old Daughter Who Tried To Frame Me For A Crime’, on which she uttered the immortal phrase: ‘Cash me ousside, how bout dah?’

She has since landed on the Billboard Hot 100 twice with the songs These Heaux and Hi Bich.

Meanwhile, Skai is best known for her role as Zuri Ross on the Disney series Jessie and Bunk’d, and recently starred in Lil Nas X’s video for Panini.

It must be tough when Phoebe Waller-Bridge – the recent winner of a gazillion awards and all-round writing extraordinaire – is your little sister.

But it turns out Isobel Waller-Bridge is just as much of a prodigy as her sibling and has only gone and bagged a record deal?

The 35-year-old – who’s best known for writing the music for Fleabag – has signed to the post-classical label Mercury KX

There’s too much talent in this family, now. Someone needs to put a stop to this.

Isobel, who scored Emma, Black Mirror and Vanity Fair, has released a new single, September to celebrate the big news.Y

The composer, who began learning the piano aged four (of course), signed to the label ahead of her second album’s release.

Isobel said her latest album is going to be the ‘most personal music’ of her career.

‘I’m so excited to have signed with Mercury KX and to start work on what will be the most personal music of my career,’ she said.

‘September is my hello to the label. It has a clarity and intimacy that reflect the very personal journey I am about to go on. With the new album, I’m starting from scratch, which is really refreshing.

‘It makes me feel free because it means I can go wherever I like. This project will be set apart from my other work – all of this album will come from within.’

The musician shot to fame after scoring everyone’s favourite tragicomedy, Fleabag, which Phoebe wrote and starred in.

Side-note – their younger brother Jasper is a music manager.

Honestly, were the Waller-Bridge kids raised on genius juice?!

Phoebe previously admitted her ‘regret’ at not being able to shield her family from the sudden global fame of Fleabag.

‘Because it’s about family and everything, my family suddenly experienced this really intense focus from people in their lives, and people asking about the show and asking about me, and one of my regrets is I wish I’d seen that coming,’ she told The Guardian.

The 34-year-old felt she hadn’t fully prepared her loved ones for the ‘strange explosion’ of the show.

‘The people closest to me didn’t invite that [attention],’ she said on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast 

Phoebe said viewers started assuming Fleabag’s sister ‘super high-powered, perfect, anorexic, rich super sister’ Claire was based on Isobel.

‘There’s so much over-familiarity that comes with that: people assuming that Iso [her sister] is like Claire,’ she said.

‘And also people just assuming that so much of it is true. That bleeds into my family’s life when the show’s going out because, weirdly, they are having to defend our family.’
