I’m A Celeb’s Kelly Brook’s secret food stash ahead of jungle stint in Australia

By in Entertainment News, News

Those close to Kelly Brook have claimed that she has made sure her pet pooch was taken care of while she flew off to Australia ahead of I’m A Celebrity

Kelly Brook has made it clear that there is one love in her life – and it is not her husband. The original lingerie and bikini model, 45, has reportedly left a number of treats for her pet pooch Teddy, in order to distract him from her potentially long awaited stay, while in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

While at Heathrow Airport, Kelly made her feelings known about being away from home. She said: “I am going to miss my dog Teddy and my husband Jeremy.”

A source told The Sun: “Kelly is besotted with Teddy and he is used to fine dining, so Kelly spent all hours making sure the freezer was piled high with his special dinners.”

They added: “There’s everything from poached salmon with cavolo nero cabbage through to venison steak with Chantenay Carrots. She didn’t have much time to get everything sorted among all her work commitments but catering for Teddy was the priority.”

According to reports, Kelly has even gone as far as to personalise the food so her husband, Jeremy, does not try to eat what is on the shelf that is left for the dog.

Kelly Brook was all smiles for the waiting photographers after dealing with her apparent upset, as she made her way through the terminal to board her flight to Australia, ahead of of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

And those close have revealed that she has brought a host of swimwear with her. They told The Sun: “Kelly is a pro at posing in swimwear and knows how to work camera angles. She’s comfortable with her figure after years of modelling. The only way to get clean in the jungle is by using the jungle shower and Kelly is going to have her moment. “She’s brought a huge selection of swimwear.

They added: “Over the years, jungle babes have used their shower moment to catapult them to super stardom, but Kelly is one of the original lingerie models and can’t wait for her time to shine.”

And last week she was quick to reveal that she would not rule out another calendar.

While at the Music Industry Trust Awards last week, she said: “I’m not doing a calendar this year, but I’d never say never. I love shooting calendars.”

Kelly’s inclusion on this year’s show comes after she previously revealed that she would never enter the jungle, even she had to pay off a large tax bill.

In 2018, she reportedly confessed: “I hate confined spaces. I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles. Even if I had a huge tax bill I had to pay it urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.” Other celebrities who will join Kelly include Martin Kemp, Ruby Wax and former footballer Alex Scott.

Kelly’s comments come after Tulisa famously described showering in the jungle as “cringy.”

Tulisa was in the show last year. And at the time, she said: “I think because on a show like this, if you’re standing in the shower, everyone’s very aware that they’re being watched. So it’s like, if you overdo it, it just feels mad cringy to me. I don’t feel like Myleene, years ago, had that in mind. She just in the shower in a white bikini. She didn’t know she was going to start this whole big wow. Do you know what I mean? Now it is has become a thing. If I went in there, dressed in red, giving it something, everyone’s gonna be like ‘Oh, come on Tulisa, we know what you’re doing’.”

Mo Gilligan gushes over love-child as he defends ex who slammed him online

By in Entertainment News, News

Mo Gilligan has opened up on fatherhood and explained how having a son with his ex Selina Christoforou and a daughter with his fiancée Taia Tulhe has changed his life

Mo Gilligan has revealed his secret love-child is a “very kind” toddler as he defended the child’s mother who previously slammed him online.

The stand-up comedian, 37, welcomed a daughter with his fiancée Taia Tulher – but he previously had a son with his ex, Selina Christoforou. However, the model took to TikTok to accuse Mo of not being present enough for their 22-month old.

Despite this, Mo said during a comedy routine at a South London pub that his son is “a very, very lovely boy” who has “a good mum”. He told the crowd: “I’m not here to disrespect. That’s the mother of my child.”

He added he would never disrespect his ex as she is raising his son, before joking that fans will now assume that any showbiz gigs he takes on will be to earn money for his son, The Sun reported. He also said he is “getting used” to being a dad of two, after his partner Taia gave birth to their little girl.

He said his daughter is “absolutely lovely” and explained that fatherhood has given him “a sense of purpose” he didn’t have before. “As much as life goes left and right and your career can go different places, I kind of always do it for my family because they keep me the most grounded,” he said.

“It’s so weird being a dad now, because the worries I used to have were so small. It’s an amazing joy. It’s interesting. You don’t think of this joy until you actually have children.”

Mo and Taia got engaged in August, shortly after news emerged that he had a secret son with Selina. After his daughter was born, a source said: “Mo and Taia have their baby and are in a bubble of bliss. She gave birth quite a few weeks ago now and she has been getting back to normal life.”

“They are keeping their baby’s gender and name for just close friends and family but they’ve been sharing the news of the baby’s arrival with people now. Mo and Taia couldn’t be happier,” the source added to The Sun.

The engagement came after Selina posted an explosive video on TikTok in which she described Mo as a “deadbeat dad” and she insisted you “can’t make someone be a dad.” Mo initially stayed silent on the claims but later shared a post featuring their son Rudi.

Selina hit out at Mo in a viral post as she fumed: “I just finally posted on Instagram about my son’s dad so for your information, if you don’t follow my Instagram I don’t blame you. Um, Mo Gilligan is his dad. Very much in quotation marks.” A source added at the time that Mo sees the baby “semi-regularly”.

The insider said: “She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they’d been fairly careful. But she wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren’t actually a couple. She adores their son and Mo sees him semi-regularly.

“Now he’s about to become a dad for a second time and he’s over the moon. He has been with Taia for quite a long time now and he feels ready to settle down.”

Hungarian leader Orban says he secured ‘financial shield’ from Trump

By in News, World News

Hungary has struck a deal for what Prime Minister Viktor Orban called a “financial shield” to safeguard its economy from potential attacks following talks with US President Donald Trump.

Orban, a longtime ally of Trump and one of Europe’s most outspoken nationalist leaders, met the US president at the White House on Friday to seek relief from sanctions on Russian oil and gas. Following the meeting, he announced that Hungary had secured a one-year exemption from those measures.

“I have also made an agreement with the US president on a financial shield,” Orban said in a video posted by the Hungarian outlet index.hu on Sunday. “Should there be any external attacks against Hungary or its financial system, the Americans gave their word that in such a case, they would defend Hungary’s financial stability.”

A White House official said the deal also included contracts worth roughly $600m for Hungary to buy US liquefied natural gas. Orban gave no details of how the “shield” would work, but claimed it would ensure Hungary would face “no financing problems”.

“That Hungary or its currency could be attacked, or that the Hungarian budget could be put in a difficult situation, or that the Hungarian economy could be suffocated from the financing side, this should be forgotten,” he said.

The move comes as Orban faces economic stagnation and strained relations with the European Union, which has frozen billions of euros in funding over what Brussels calls Hungary’s democratic backsliding. Critics accuse Orban of using his ties with Washington to sidestep EU pressure and secure new financial lifelines.

Orban said on Friday that Hungary also received an exemption from US sanctions on Russian energy after a meeting with Trump.

Hungary’s economy has struggled since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, but its currency, the forint, has shown some recovery this year, supported by high interest rates.

Trump, meanwhile, has extended his support to another far-right leader, Argentina’s Javier Milei, pledging to strengthen the country’s collapsing economy through a $20bn currency swap deal with Argentina’s central bank. Trump said he would also buy Argentinian pesos to “help a great philosophy take over a great country”.

Sudan medics accuse RSF of burning, burying bodies to conceal ‘genocide’

By in News, World News

A Sudanese medical organisation has accused the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) of engaging in a “desperate attempt” to conceal evidence of mass killings in Darfur by burning bodies or burying them in mass graves.

The Sudan Doctors Network said on Sunday that paramilitaries are collecting “hundreds of bodies” from the streets of el-Fasher, in Sudan’s western Darfur region, after their bloody takeover of the city on October 26, saying the group’s crimes could not be “erased through concealment or burning”.

“What happened in el-Fasher is not an isolated incident but rather another chapter in a full-fledged genocide carried out by the RSF, blatantly violating all international and religious norms that prohibit the mutilation of corpses and guarantee the dead the right to a dignified burial,” it said in a statement.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) estimates that 82,000 of el-Fasher’s total population of 260,000 fled after the RSF seized the last Sudanese military stronghold in the region, amid reports of mass killings, rape, and torture. Many residents are believed to still be trapped.

Reporting from the Sudanese capital, Khartoum, Al Jazeera’s Hiba Morgan said many people fleeing el-Fasher for Al Dabbah in the north died on the road, “because they had no food or water, or because they sustained injuries as a result of gunfire”.

Morgan said that escapees told Al Jazeera they learned of the deaths of relatives from social media videos of their killings posted by RSF fighters. Several videos depicting extreme acts of violence have emerged in the public domain since the group overran the city.

Targeted ethnic killings

With the “communications blackout” in the city, many did not know what happened to their family members.

“They believe if their relatives are still alive inside el-Fasher, then they may not be so for long because of a lack of food and water… or because the RSF has been targeting people based on their ethnicities,” Morgan reported.

The RSF, which has been fighting the Sudanese army for control of Sudan since April 2023, traces its origins to the predominantly Arab, government-backed militia known as the “Janjaweed”, which has been accused of genocide in Darfur two decades ago.

Between 2003 and 2008, an estimated 300,000 people were killed, and nearly 2.7 million were displaced in campaigns of ethnic violence.

Sylvain Penicaud of Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, who spoke to civilians who fled el-Fasher for the town of Tawila, said many of those fleeing said they were “targeted because of the colour of their skin”.

“For me, the most terrifying part was [civilians] being hunted down while they were running for their lives; being attacked simply for being Black,” Penicaud said.

The Zaghawa, the dominant ethnic group in el-Fasher, has been fighting alongside the army since late 2023.

The group, which initially remained neutral when the war began, aligned with the military after the RSF carried out massacres against the Masalit tribe in West Darfur’s capital, el-Geneina, killing up to 15,000 people.

Hassan Osman, a university student from el-Fasher, said residents with darker skin, especially Zaghawa civilians, were subjected to “racial insults, humiliation, degradation and physical and psychological violence” as they fled.

Why African Creatives Need To Own Streaming Platforms – DJ Neptune

By in News, Nigeria News

One of Nigeria’s and Africa’s most celebrated disc jockeys, DJ Neptune, says there is a need for African creatives to own their own streaming platforms.

“We, as African creatives, need to start thinking towards the direction of owning our own streaming platforms because we have the numbers,” the 35-year-old, whose real name is Imohiosen Patrick, said when he appeared as a guest on Channels Television’s Rubbin Minds on Sunday.

“All DJ Neptune needs to sustain me for the rest of my career is probably just four to five per cent of that population constantly streaming my music, coming to my shows.

“I’m made for life, you know,” he said while speaking on the strength of Nigeria’s over 200 million population.

DJ Neptune belives that if creatives understand the power they have, they can do so much.

“We need to come together as one,” he said.

“But you need to understand that collaboration right now is the new gold. When we go into the room as one voice, it makes the conversation more interesting and more beneficial to the creatives,” he added.

Speaking about his passion for what he does, DJ Neptune said, “I’m still as hungry as when I started on the very first day, you know, and the goal is to be celebrated as a global DJ from Africa, West Africa, Nigeria, to be precise.”
