The latest batch of celebrities to take on life in the Australian outback are seen getting squeamish as they jump from the chopper and face a grisly trial in a preview clip

I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here gets underway tonight with the latest batch of famous faces set to take on the gruelling challenge of life in the jungle. With an explosive season ahead, the stars are seen arriving with a bang in a new preview video that shows the contestants literally diving headfirst into campmate life.

In the clip, contestants Aitch, Kelly Brook, Eddie Kadi, Shona McGarty and Martin Kemp are seen making the iconic helicopter ride to the coastline where hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly are waiting for them on a huge yellow star. The duo then tell them via a megaphone that their only route down is via a parachute.

While Aitch is seen hyped up for the jump, the same can’t be said for everyone, with Kelly appearing horrified as she responds, saying: “What?” as Martin quips: “No, no.”

Eddie is seen wide-eyed in bewilderment at the baptism of fire that awaits. The five are then seen tied to their guides as they jump from the helicopter with plenty of screaming afoot.

The camera then cuts to the lavish house where Ruby Wax, Angry Ginge, Lisa Riley, Alex Scott and Jack Osbourne are seen turning up in a Love Island-esque walking in slo-mo compilation.

However, the glamour ends there as they are tasked with having their heads shut into individual wire cages with a wooden frame, as Ant warns, “you will have company in there,” before snakes are dumped on top of them.

The hilarious clip sees Alex, Jack and Ruby initially remaining admirably calm, as Angry Ginge is heard pleading “please tell us what it is first, tell us what it is first,” as the panic sets in. Lisa, meanwhile, is heard exclaiming: “Oh my God, it’s a snake, oh my God, it’s a frickin’ snake,” as the slithery companions are piled on top of her head.

ITV have promised fans a “launch show like no other” as the series gets underway with plenty of twists and turns expected. The rumoured late arrivals for the show are expected to be Vogue Williams, who was spotted at the VIP opening of Winter Wonderland in London just days ago, and Tom Read Wilson.

Meanwhile, it’s been confirmed that the stars of I’m A Celeb will have to survive 72 hours in the jungle to secure their full I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! fee. The stars must comply with a lesser-known rule of the ITV show or risk forfeiting their fee.

According to reports, celebrities must stay in the jungle for at least 72 hours to earn their wage; otherwise, they risk leaving Australia empty-handed.

While it doesn’t sound that long when faced with the harsh conditions of sleeping in the outback and a lack of food, many stars have been known to crumble under pressure.

The highly anticipated new series of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! kicks off tonight at 9pm on ITV1, STV, ITVX and STV Player.

Lucy Fallon has revealed she’s engaged. The Coronation Street star took to Instagram and gave fans a look at her huge diamond as she celebrated her 30th birthday.

“Ending the birthday weekend with my best friend as a fiancé!!!! I can’t wait to marry you @ryanledson8,” she said.

Lioness legend Chloe Kelly penned: “Congratulations,” with two heart-eye emojis. While Lily Gerrard said: “Congratulations,” with three hearts.

Queen guitarist Brian May and his wife Anita Dobson swapped their London home for a lavish Surrey estate after it flooded with sewage

Anita Dobson, wife of legendary Queen guitarist Brian May, had a poignant moment of realisation after the couple were compelled to abandon London for a quieter life in the countryside. The pair traded their £7million Kensington residence for a sprawling £25million estate in Surrey last year.

Their opulent new home is nestled within an expansive 200-acre estate in the heart of Windlesham. Anita has previously confessed that Brian has “never been happier” since they swapped the hustle and bustle of the capital for the tranquillity of the countryside.

Their current abode, originally constructed in the 1920s, stands on the site of a 16th-century farmhouse which was demolished to make way for the Regency-style dwelling they now call home.

The decision to relocate came after their previous home was inundated with sewage in 2021. The unfortunate incident left the couple distraught and resulted in the loss of memorabilia stored by Brian.

However, according to Anita, her husband “fell in love” with their new surroundings even before he laid eyes on the property. She revealed that he was particularly smitten with “the trees, the flowers, the grass, the lake”, reports the Express.

“How could I take him away from that?” she pondered during an interview with The Sunday Telegraph. However, the move from London to the countryside brought with it a bittersweet realisation.

Anita, aged 76, reflected: “I remember thinking, ‘I’m buying my own retirement home,’ because it’s quiet. I do miss London. I miss the lights, the noise, even the dirt – I was born in that dirt. But I know what I’m facing ahead of me.”

Brian, 78, has occasionally offered glimpses of their home on Instagram. The property is said to boast an observatory which allows Brian to indulge his passion for the stars.

Whilst the east wing is said to house an indoor swimming pool, studio, spa, sauna and gym. Last year Anita admitted that her husband is a “hoarder” and has a huge range of Star Wars memorabilia.

She says he insists on buying two of everything as well – one for himself and one for his grandchildren, explaining: “He’s a big collector. He buys a packaged one and one that he can have for the grandkids.

“He’s bought quite a lot. It’s eased off a bit, as he’s gone through life. His favourite is the little green guy, he loves Yoda.”

Anita revealed Brian also enjoys collecting dinosaurs and figures of prehistoric creatures “like most kids do.”

EastEnders star Anita says she has previously attempted clearing out some of their possessions but regularly fails, because she also has “semi-hoarding tendencies”.

She told Music News: “I always think I’ve got to have a clear out, and a lot of my clothes go to the local hospice. But there’s so much stuff.

“The way I look at it, my husband is a hoarder and I’m a semi-hoarder. I try to lessen the accumulation of stuff that comes in. My husband is really clever so any little things that come in that you think are useless he will go, ‘No, no, don’t get rid of that because it might come in useful.’

“And it does,” she added. “Something he is fixing, or something he has decided to add, and there it is, he’s got it in his DIY box.”

Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon looked incredible as she stepped out to celebrate her 30th birthday. The actress – best known for her role as Bethany Platt on the hit ITV soap – partied the night away alongside her friends and footballer boyfriend Ryan Ledson in Manchester.

The soap star wore a striking crystal-embellished dress with cut-outs to the waist and a thigh-high slit for the glamorous outing. She wore her blonde hair in defined, sleek waves and had a full face of smoky-eyed makeup as she posed alongside Ryan.

Lucy carried a pearl and crystal bag and clutched her iPhone in her hand as she enjoyed drinks and dancing until around 3am. She was seen dancing with Ryan, 28, who wore an all-black ensemble with a white t-shirt layered underneath his shirt.

One onlooker said Lucy was dancing to tracks including Beyonce’s Crazy In Love and thoroughly enjoying her night before making a bleary-eyed exit. Lucy and Ryan are currently staying with his parents while their home near Ormskirk, West Lancashire, is being renovated.

The couple met on celebrity dating app Raya in 2020 after her split from fellow actor Tom Leech. Lucy and Ryan are now parents to two children after welcoming their first child, Sonny, in 2023, and their second in January of 2025.

She returned to her role as Bethany in July, just seven months after she welcomed daughter Nancy. The birthday celebration comes after she had to rush her baby daughter to the hospital late last month.

Taking to social media on Monday, Lucy revealed that her daughter had come down with a sickness bug, all while battling a series of sinus infections, as well as teething. Appearing in a pair of pink pyjamas and a dressing gown at home, she opened up about her chaotic weekend, admitting that she no longer “knows” who she is anymore.

The actress, who plays Bethany Platt on the ITV soap opera, said on social media: “I didn’t want to come on and be really attention seeking but here I am. We have had a weekend, haven’t we? We have had a weekend. It has been filled with sickness, and A&E visits and everything. I don’t know who I am anymore. But poor Nancy is literally so sick.

“Look at her eye, I just cannot. I cannot even cope, she has been vomiting, she has a throat infection, an ear infection and an eye infection. She has two top teeth coming through and a sickness bug, can you cope? But yeah, that’s just a reality check. Life comes at you really fast.”

Lucy panned the camera to her young daughter, who had a visibly inflamed eye as she sat on her mother’s lap. Lucy previously admitted revealed she was terrified to tell her bosses at Coronation Street when she fell pregnant for the second time.

She told The Sun: “I was in the green room with everybody and they were talking about story lines, and I felt tears falling. I called Caroline, our cast liaison, and she was like, ‘This [ pregnancy ] is good news. Why are you crying?’

“Then I went into the producer’s office in tears and she was obviously really nice about it. I’d built it up, thinking everyone was going to be so annoyed.” Lucy now only films for no more than two consecutive days, in order to be around for her children.

Netflix and K-Pop star Nana is said to have bravely fought off an armed home intruder who knocked her mum out during a physical struggle

A Netflix star is reportedly in hospital after she and her mum fought off an armed man who broke into their home.

Nana – who shot to fame as part of K-pop group After School in the Noughties – bravely confronted the robber who is said to have threatened them with a weapon and demanded money.

The 34-year-old singer’s mother was knocked out during the altercation, and both required medical attention after they sustained ‘serious injuries’ following the physical struggle, local police said.

It happened at their home in Seoul, South Korea, in the early hours of the morning. The pair were able to detain the man until police arrived.

A local detective told AFP news agency that the intruder, who is in his 30s, was attempting to steal cash and valuables and has now been detained on charges of aggravated robbery.

Giving an update on the condition of Nana and her mother, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said: “Nana also sustained physical injuries while trying to escape the dangerous situation.”

“The mother has regained consciousness, and both of them are currently in need of treatment and complete rest,” the agency added.

Nana – whose real name is Im Jin-ah – first rose to fame back in 2009 with the popular K-pop girl group After School. This spawned sub groups Orange Caramel and After School Red.

The group is no longer active, but she has gained popularity over the past decade as an actor starring in several TV series, including Kill It and Justice, both crime dramas which first aired in 2019.

Then in 2021 she was cast in the Netflix series Glitch, a South Korean science fiction series about a young woman who teams up with a UFO enthusiast to search for her boyfriend who has mysteriously disappeared.

The K-pop icon is also said to be starring in the upcoming drama Climax and the Netflix series Scandals (tentative title), where she plays the role of Hui-yeon, a widow who vows to remain chaste after losing her husband.

Based on the 2003 Korean film Untold Scandal, it reimagines the story of the French novel Dangerous Liaisons and features a ‘dangerous love game’ between the characters. The drama is set to be released next year.

But music is still a passion as Nana released her first ever solo album in September.

Titled Seventh Heaven 16, it means ‘the highest happiness’ and she paid tribute to her mother as she she unveiled a new tattoo of the year 1968 – a tribute to her mother’s birth year.
