By in Entertainment News, News

Ruby Wax shared her insight into her I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! campmates as she confirmed who she had to take down because of their sweltering egos

I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star Ruby Wax has been busy sharing her take on her former campmates since her departure from the jungle. The popular TV personality named who she thought had ‘huge egos’ until she “took them down a peg.”

Ruby, 72, became the fifth celebrity to exit the camp on Wednesday and has wasted no time since then in giving her very honest opinions about the whole experience. Speaking to podcast hosts Ally and G she was asked the most shocking thing the experience had taught her.

The question prompted her to mention two people in particular. First up was Angry Ginge as she detailed how she had learnt a lot about his life. She said: “Suddenly, he became quite vulnerable with his story. I like digging deep.”

She then turned her attention to Aitch, as she added: “I liked Aitch’s answers to what he wants in life and it was just a dog and a wife and a kid. So they’re [Aitch and Ginge] so straight, underneath their wild exteriors.”

Ruby then added her trademark cheeky twist to her response continuing, “They’re just boys who want a normal life and a wife. A wife who will probably cater to them, because their egos are huge. I took them down a few pegs.”

Ruby’s exit rocked the camp and as she chatted with show hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly she spoke about the great friendships she had formed with the pair. However she was left disappointed when she learned about their milk bottle stealing fiasco.

Ruby also shared her hopes for who the eventual winner will be as she shared how she felt “sure” that ultimately the winner would be Ginge, she also described him as a “deserving winner” and said that she would be willing to put money on it.

While Ruby seemed happy to support her new friend as the potential victor, she still wasn’t too happy about her exit meaning she was now ruled out of a place in the final on Sunday, December 7.

Speaking on This Morning following her exit, she said:”‘I’m totally devastated. I’ve been ripped from my family, ripped from the womb.

“I’m so upset I can’t even tell you. I belong in that jungle. I want to go to my people. I didn’t think it was going to be so adorable, I didn’t know I’d love those people more than most people I know. I should have won!”

Last year’s winner, McFly star Danny Jones, has already been seen spending time in Australia ahead of the final, where he will be on hand to crown his successor. Contestants still in the running are Aitch, Ginge, Shona McGarty and Tom Read Wilson.

Piers Morgan is set to expand his Uncensored YouTube channel brand after raising £22.5million from investors which will now allow his brand to be global media business

News talk show host Piers Morgan is set to finalise a £22.5million fundraising deal to expand his Uncensored brand. The YouTube channel currently has more than 4 million subscribers and news of its multi-million expansion interrupted a Sky News segment.

The news anchor issued a breaking news alert to tell viewers that “Piers Morgan is raising tens of millions of dollars of funding to turn his Uncensored brand into a broad based global media business.” The 60 year old TV personality, who has covered some of the world’s biggest stories to date, posted the breaking news clip and shared it to his Instagram.

In the clip his fans saw Sky News City Editor Mark Kleinman, explain the details of the investment which could change the media world as viewers know it. He said: “The Piers Morgan YouTube show has amassed well over four million subscribers. And I understand that he is in the process of finalising the fundraising of about $30million to expand the Uncensored brand globally.”

He added: “This deal will value the business just under £100 million before the new money is factored in and we’ll see it launch new areas, such as in history, technology and sport.”‘

Providing the Sky News City Editor with a statement, Piers said: “I’m very excited that some of the most experienced and successful players in the global media industry share my ambitious vision for Uncensored. This is the future of modern media.”

He captioned his social media post saying: “Some exciting news for Uncensored…” Rushing to the comment section, one follower said: “Deserved success.” Another penned: “Big congratulations.” Meanwhile a third person wrote, referring to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: “Well done you as an aside couldn’t help but think there’ll be plates smashing in Montecito.”

The new investors include New York Merchant bank The Raine Group and Greek media mogul Theo Kyriakou. This comes after he refused to be drawn in on answering whether he was set to apply for the position of Director General of the BBC, while on Newsnight.

Piers appeared on the news programme last Monday and simply replied “no comment” after he was being probed over whether he would consider taking on the role, following the broadcaster’s latest scandal.

Newsnight host Victoria Derbyshire moved away from the discussion of Donald Trump and Ukraine, and turned to Piers and said: “The advert for the new Director General has gone out tonight.”

She went on to say: “A former Conservative cabinet minister, Michael Gove, recently tweeted that you would be the man for the job. I guess that was a joke.” In response, Piers quipped: “Oh, he’s a very smart guy. No, I think he was deadly serious. Why would that be a joke?”

Angry Ginge’s wild links to Manchester United after he branded player a ‘f***ing traitor’

Angry Ginge’s wild links to Manchester United after he branded player a ‘f***ing traitor’ – The Mirror

Skip to main content

The I’m A Celeb star is a huge fan of football team Manchester United and has built an online platform around it, leading him to have some wild connections to the club

Angry Ginge’s links to Manchester United:

  • Before I’m A Celeb fame, the Youtube and Twitch streamer built a platform about his love of football. Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, grew up in Manchester and made no secret of the fact that his favourite team is Manchester United. Some of the videos he posts to YouTube are of his reactions to his favourite team’s games.
  • As a lifelong Manchester United fan, he grew up idolising Wayne Rooney – and later became friends with the footballing legend.
  • Wayne joined Ginge’s Fifa team Girth and Turf, despite his questionable e-sports skills, and the two have regularly collaborated on videos.
  • According to Ginge, Wayne is one of the reasons he’s doing I’m A Celeb. He told the Mirror: “He said he can’t wait and he’ll be voting for me to do trials as well.”
  • He’s even worked with the team, appearing in their promotional video for their 2024-2025 seasonal kit, alongside Barry Keoghan and former Man Utd captain Bryan Robson.
  • And he’s played at the team’s iconic stadium. In June of this year, Ginge was part of the England squad for Soccer Aid, which also featured the likes of Louis Tomlinson, Sam Thompson and Bella Ramsey, as well as Ginge’s pal Wayne Rooney at Old Trafford. In a video posted to TikTok, Ginge said it was a “dream come true” to play there.
  • However, not all his links to Manchester United have been as positive. Ginge almost came to blows with ex Man Utd star Carlos Tevez at Soccer Aid. The pair grappled over the ball, and later Ginge took to social media to show he was bleeding after the incident.
  • He wrote: “Cheers Tevez. T***.” This isn’t the only time he’s bad mouthed the player, as Ginge later revealed that he had his Soccer Aid shirt signed by all the players, except for Tevez. He explained: “The f***ing traitor Tevez ain’t signing my f***ing shirt.”

Sam Thompson says ex Zara McDermott took his prized possession

By in Entertainment News, News

Sam Thompson has accused ex girlfriend Zara McDermott taking his Crocs after the couple agreed to end their five year relationship in January

Sam Thompson has said his ex Zara McDermott took one of his favourite things. The former Made In Chelsea star, 33, dated Zara for five years before the couple decided to go their separate ways in January.

But soon after she left Sam’s Chelsea home, which she had moved into, he claims to have noticed that she had taken his Crocs with her. Sam made the admission while on the Staying Relevant podcast he shared with former TOWIE star Pete Wicks.

During their latest episode, Pete asked Sam what he would choose to wear to a high profile fashion event, to which Sam said Crocs, without hesitation. He said: “Got to be the Crocs. Shock value. Get the jelly shoes on.”

In response Pete said: “You haven’t worn the Crocs for some time now because you…” Pete wasn’t able to finish his sentence before Sam then chimed in and said: “Yeah, Zara took them.” Feeling sorry for his best pal, Pete simply said “Oh god.”

In a bid to not dwell on his break up and the loss of his beloved possession, he changed the subject swiftly. He went on to say: “I need a new pair of Crocs. I actually don’t have any Crocs.”

The conversation surrounding his break-up comes after he revealed that he had finally made his relationship with Talitha Balinska, official. Sam has been dating Talitha, 25, for a few months but recently announced that she was now his girlfriend.

Sam and Talitha first met two years ago when she modelled for Sam’s sunglasses brand, Dinelli, which he co-owns with former Made In Chelsea’s Reza Amiri Garroussi.

At the time, Sam was in a relationship with Zara but he is thought to have reconnected with her when she was invited to one of his live shows at the O2 Arena. Unable to contain his excitement, he informed his listeners of his news. He said: “I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!”

Pete then joked: “We’ve lost him again to the dark powers of a woman.” And speaking about the moment he decided to take things to the next level, the reality TV star confessed: “Mate, it was just super relaxed. “

He added: “It was so boring really, but that’s kind of how I wanted it to be. We just went for dinner, and I was like, ‘I really like you’. And I just went, ‘I’d love to be your boyfriend’. I don’t know why I’m panicking more now!”

He continued: “Yeah, I just said, ‘Look, I really, really like you, and you make me feel really… comfortable. I feel like I can be myself around you. I don’t want to be dating anyone else. I’m 33, I wouldn’t be dating someone this amount of time if I didn’t think it had legs to last. So will you be my girlfriend?’ And she said ‘yes’ And so I said, ‘great’.”

By in Entertainment News, News

Liam Payne’s sister Ruth shared a heartfelt post in memory of the late One Direction star who tragically died in October last year while in Argentina

Liam Payne’s heartbroken sister Ruth shared a sweet message in memory of her late brother Liam.

The One Direction star tragically died after falling from his third floor hotel balcony while in Argentina last October. Liam, who was only 31 at the time of his death, left behind a devastated family and a son, who he shared with former pop star Cheryl.

In the emotional post, Ruth told her followers that she was “missing him so much”. Sharing a picture of her and Liam, the image was from a 2019 Facebook post, which was in celebration of his solo album being released.

Their other sister Nicola shared the Facebook post with fans at the time and said: “Tonight at midnight my brother’s first solo album comes out. At 14 years old Liam set off to become a singer. He joined a band at 16 and the last 10 years has been on the most mad career path ever!”

She continued: “We as a family have stood side stage for the last 10 years cheering him on. All hoping that one day he would get his own album out and showcase just how talented he is, when I finally get in my car tomorrow and press play on the album I will feel so proud of his achievement,,.. I only wish my drive to work was longer than a couple of songs.”

Ruth who re-posted the sweet message captioned her post saying: “Oh mate, the best was yet to come. You’re missing so much.” This comes a few weeks after she paid tribute to Liam, 12 months on from his funeral. She shared a childhood picture of the two of them together.

Alongside her picture she said: “A year ago today, the hardest goodbye I’ll ever have, a funeral I should never have had to plan and every day since, I should have never had to live without him.”

She added: “Missing him now is part of breathing, it doesn’t get easier, that’s just a lie to make it feel better: Infinite love, infinite loss.”

In memory of her late brother, she posted an open letter to him where she gives fans an insight into the daily pain she feels as she grieves the loss of her beloved brother.

She penned: “I underestimated grief, woah, did I underestimate it. I am paralysed by it daily. I thought I had felt it before but I know the losses before you were just intense sadness, you are the loss of my life, the one person who l will miss at every single occasion in my life.”

She added: “I’d taken for granted that my little brother would be there through life. You shouldn’t have died.” Ruth also revealed she’s been having a recurring nightmare that places her in Liam’s hotel room moments before his death on that fateful night.”

Ruth went on to say that Liam “can’t hear me screaming for you, my brain is locked on your last minutes on this earth, the unaccounted minutes, the minutes I will never have the answers to, the minutes that changed everything.”

Explaining her grief, Ruth went on to add that she struggles to cope with life without him as she said that his absence “is something that happens to me everyday before I even open my eyes.”

She went to say that she would give anything to have five more minutes with her beloved brother, as she described all the things she love to tell him, including joke telling.

Asking for people to respect the family’s grief and privacy, she went to share: “Whilst I am still on my knees struggling to regain balance since my world burned down and every time I try to take a step, something comes and sets fire to all the progress I thought I had made in my mind, in trying to understand where or why Liam isn’t here helping me through this.”

She added: “Everyone only seems interested in the public side of this, some sadly seem more interested in the fame they can gain off this, but on the human side people need to remember when they speak, there is a son without his Dad, parents without their child and I am lost without my brother. Love always Liam, in every lifetime.”
