Paris Hilton has broken her silence on a rumour that Ghislaine Maxwell tried to recruit her for Jeffrey Epstein. Paris, who is now 44-years-old, was just 19 years old when she was spotted at one of Maxwell’s parties.

Maxwell allegedly told friends that she though Paris would be “perfect” for her partner Epstein. Maxwell dated the paedophile -who took his own life in jail – for several years in the 1990s and reportedly went to parties to look for girls for him.

She was later convicted and sentences for her own role as Epstein’s “recruiter” and part of his sex trafficking operation. Socialite Paris has now said that she doesn’t remember meeting Maxwell.

Speaking in an interview in the Sunday Times magazine, Paris claimed that she may have been brought into the media storm due to how famous her name is.

“I’m such a good clickbait name,” she said. Despite Maxwell’s alleged intentions for Hilton, the mother of two has insisted that she ‘doesn’t remember ever meeting her’.

The claims about Maxwell’s plans for Paris were originally made by a former friend of Maxwell in 2020. Heiress Paris would have been 19 at the time and on the brink of her huge rise to fame.

Christopher Mason said Maxwell said “Oh my god” when she saw It Girl Paris at a party. She allegedly said Paris would be “perfect for Jeffrey” and asked if a friend would introduce them.

This comes as Maxwell is reportedly seeking to have her 20-year prison sentence reduced by Donald Trump, according to a whistleblower.

The 63-year-old was convicted in 2021 for grooming and trafficking underage girls for Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier and convicted sex offender who died in jail in 2019.

She is currently incarcerated at a minimum-security federal prison in Texas. The whistleblower, whose identity has not been disclosed, has claimed that Maxwell is now preparing a formal request for Trump to commute her sentence.

The whistleblower also reported that a senior staff member at the prison complained he is “sick of having to be Maxwell’s b****.”

The Brit is held at Federal Prison Camp Bryan, which houses female inmates convicted of nonviolent offences. Maxwell was moved there from a higher-security facility in Florida just days after speaking glowingly of Trump to his deputy attorney general.

Maxwell’s conviction followed a high-profile trial in New York where witnesses described how they were recruited, groomed and abused while underage.

Prosecutors said she was central to Epstein’s operation and that she acted as both facilitator and participant but Maxwell has maintained her innocence.

It is unknown what date the wedding is due to take place on but it has been confirmed that the nuptials will be set in Bath. As of now, Adam’s sister is said to be invited to the day but no other family members.

A children’s TV star from the early 2000s has left people gobsmacked after sharing a video of his ‘grown up’ new venture that’s miles away from the antics he used to get up to

Celebrities are just regular people behind the fame, but it can still come as a shock when we see them engaging in everyday activities, such as walking their dog or doing their grocery shopping. This can be particularly jarring when the star in question was famous several years ago, as their appearance may have changed drastically or they might have undergone a huge career shift that no one saw coming.

Instagram users were left taken aback after scrolling through their Reels recently, as many stumbled across a video of a children’s TV icon from the 2000s doing something very different from his usual line of work. The video featured TV presenter Dominic Wood, best known for Dick and Dom in da Bungalow, demonstrating to viewers how to install new guttering – a far cry from his antics from 20 years ago.

Dom shot to stardom alongside his presenting partner Richard McCourt – AKA Dick – on their CBBC show, which ran between 2002 and 2006. The show was set in a fictional bungalow and saw six contestants compete in a series of games.

The show was known for being over-the-top and silly, with some contestants getting “gunged” with slime at the end of the show, and custard, known as “creamy muck muck”, being thrown at regular intervals. It also popularised the game “bogies”, where Dick and Dom would take turns shouting the word “bogies” in a quiet public place.

So, when Instagram users stumbled across a video of Dom doing some important DIY around his house, instead of shouting rude words and throwing food around, they claimed the man was “unrecognisable”.

The video showed Dom fitting new guttering, as his drainpipe didn’t connect to his drain, so rainwater was just spilling out onto the ground instead of going down the drain.

Commenters were baffled by what they were watching. Many said it was “amazing” to see the 47-year-old TV presenter doing something so “grown up”, while others admitted the DIY content was very interesting.

One person said: “Absolutely amazing, a person so significant in my childhood now back again on my feed as a grown up.”

Another added: “This man went from shouting bogies in a theatre to a home renovation page. I enjoyed him then and massively enjoy this content now!”

A third posted: “Seeing you do something serious – I can’t handle it.”

Even though some claimed the serious setting of the video made Dom “unrecognisable”, others pointed out that the star looks almost exactly the same as he did 20 years ago.

Someone said: “Do you ever age? You look the same as when I was 10.”

Another wrote: “How are you the same age you were 20 years ago?”

It’s that time of year when all the supermarkets are unveiling the delicious treats they’ve got on offer this year, and one national chain is getting things started right with the most important meal of the day. Marks and Spencer fans on Instagram were amazed by the retailer’s breakfast party food range.

Detailing the various products it is launching, it said: “Maple Bacon Pancake Stacks – British outdoor bred bacon with hot maple syrup between two fluffy buttermilk pancakes – YES PLEASE.

“Hot Smoked Salmon Rosti – Mini potato rostis topped with hot smoked Caledonian Gold salmon mixed with sour cream, cheddar, and herbs – YES, YES, YES!

“Hash Brown Topple Tower – Golden, crispy potato hash brown fingers are paired with a tangy tomato dip – YES!”

It added: “Find them NOW in your local M&S Foodhall or online at @ocadouk.”

Fans were salivating over the products, with one writing: “The hash brown fingers are so good. My freezer is full of them ready for Christmas!”

Another asked: “Is all of this freezeable?” Marks and Spencer replied: “Hi there, the pancakes and salmon rosti are suitable for freezing.” The user replied: “I just went up and bought them. Going to have it Christmas Day rather than make a mess with eggs royale.”

A third user wrote: “Oh my goodness how good do these look!!!!” And another said: “We need these for our Christmas gathering.”

Someone else said: “Omg! Always upping the game M&S.” Another said: “Cannot wait to try them.”

And another fan wrote: “Oh my days!!!!! it all looks so delicious!!! especially the hash brown stick things.”

Juddith Keppel won Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? in 2000 and admits she still watches the hit ITV show, which is presented by Jeremy Clarkson

The first person to win Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? has revealed what she really thinks about host Jeremy Clarkson. Judith Keppel won the jackpot in 2000, after attempting to get on the show more than 50 times.

Judith, who was working as a garden designer at the time, spent more than £100 trying to land a place on the show despite “struggling for money”. And now, 25 years later, Judith says she still has the first £1million she won.

Instead of splashing the cash on cars and a new house, she says she decided to reinvest the money. Three years after the win she even joined Eggheads on BBC Two, spending 19 years on the show before retiring in 2022.

Judith says she still watches Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, which has been presented by former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson since 2018. Although she criticised the host’s general knowledge skills.

She said: “Frankly, he knows nothing. Ask him a geography question or a question about cars and he might know, but there’s no point asking him anything else.”

Contestants who are struggling on the show can turn to Jeremy as one of the show’s lifelines. The TV presenter however admits he worries whenever someone turns to him for help.

When asked if it’s got any easier helping contestants over the years, Jeremy told Heatworld: “No, it’s still terrifying. I was doing reasonably well on my average getting them right, but this series, I have been really useless.”

The star says appearing on the show is “very useful” but confesses that it hasn’t helped improve his own general knowledge skills. Instead he believes it is simply a “test” of what you can recall.

He added: “I don’t think the show improves anyone’s general knowledge, it just tests it. It’s very useful, because I can never remember where I put my spectacles, but somehow know the national beer of Sri Lanka is Lion. You think, ‘How is that in my head?’”

Jeremy also admits that fronting the popular show hasn’t led him to becoming the first pick for pub quizzes. He jokes that he once attended one and answered “Edelweiss” as the original name for JFK Airport in New York, USA, only to discover it should have been “Idlewild”.

Jeremy, who was “so proud” that he knew the answer was left gutted when they “wouldn’t let him have it”. Jeremy joked it was “ridiculous” and vowed never to return to a pub quiz.

Judith meanwhile managed to answer 15 questions correctly to secure the million. She says she “wasn’t 100 percent sure” in the final round, but believes some “insane gambling-instinct urge” took over.

She answered the question – which king was married to Eleanor of Aquitaine? Henry I, Henry II, Richard I or Henry V? – correctly, becoming the first person in the UK to walk away with the money.

The internet personality and comedian has landed his TV debut in Robin Hood.

Henry Rowley of TikTok fame has landed his first major TV role in MGM+’s Robin Hood, which also stars Sean Bean.

Originally from Leicester but now living in London, the star is the youngest of three brothers, who studied English literature at the University of Bristol.

He uploaded his first TikTok video in October 2021 and some of his sketches have received millions of views.

Speaking to Square Mile, he admitting there was nothing showbiz about his childhood.

“Mum’s a counsellor, dad’s a doctor,” he shared, and as for his brothers: “Nick works in PR and Alex is an accountant.”

Never did he dream he would appear in an epic adventure drama with A-list stars like Sean Bean.

On landing his Robin Hood role, he said: ” It was the best experience of my life, far and away.

“For me that’s been a lifelong dream, to get a professional acting role and to be on a proper set with the cast and full crew and everything.

“Being there was better than the expectation. On my first day on set, I was giddy. I couldn’t stop smiling and saying to everyone, this is the most fun I’ve ever had.

“It’s just play with more stakes.” After sending over an audition tape, he landed the role and was told he would fly out to Serbia for filming three days later.

“Cancelled my trip to Mexico, went to Serbia, and had the best time ever,” he said.

He quit his job in marketing to pursue comedy and acting full-time and has since performed at a number of Edinburgh Fringe shows.

Henry admitted he did not know what TikTok was when he first started using it, thinking it was just “kids dancing”.

It was his friends who encouraged him to post his impressions on the platform and they “lost their minds” when the videos started garnering 30,000 views a day, in particular Minty, the posh girl at the afters.
