The Masked Singer presenter Joel Dommett has revealed how he narrowly avoided a “disaster” with his bank after receiving what turned out to be a scam phone call

Joel Dommett almost fell victim to a banking scam before he was saved by his Uber driver. The Masked Singer host, 40, received a random phone call from someone claiming to be from his bank and was “falling for it” instantly.

But luckily, the comedian, who was in the back of an Uber when he took the call, had put it on loudspeaker and this prompted the taxi driver to alert him to the scam when he overheard the conversation and told Joel to stop in his tracks.

Recalling the heart-stopping incident, Joel said: “I got scammed! This guy called me and was so persuasive saying my bank needs to send a code blah blah blah. He was pretending to be from my bank and I put him on loud speaker and I was in an Uber. And I was totally falling for it!

“I was totally going to give him the code and he would have taken money out of my account and it would have been an absolute disaster. And the only reason I didn’t is because the Uber driver who was listening to my phone conversation he went ‘that’s a scam put the phone down!'”

The former I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! contestant was appearing on The Capital Evening Show with Jimmy Hill when he made the revelation, and the radio host instantly jumped in to share his relief that the scammer had been successful.

Joel added: “And I went ‘what?’ and he went ‘That’s a scam put the phone down and then ring your real bank manager and I promise you it will be a different person!’ I was like ‘Okay…’ and I did it and it was a scam. “

Jimmy quipped: “What a legend! Five stars!” It all comes just days after Joel, whose wife Hannah is expecting their second child, exclusively told The Mirror just how ‘petrified’ they are ahead of the new arrival. The star is already balancing his career with parenting his son, Wilde, now two, and while he is looking forward to becoming a dad again, he is struggling to imagine what it will be like to have two little ones to look after.

He said: “We’re excited, but I think ‘petrified’ is winning in the emotional state. The idea of looking after one child is one thing, but the idea of another kid being there and you having to look after that one – I just can’t imagine how chaotic it’s going to be.”

Joel and Hannah, who have been together for 10 years and married for six, have decided not to find out the gender of baby number two. “There’s no secrets any more, really,” says Joel. “So it’s quite nice to have one thing that you can’t find out about and for people to be excited about.”

“We have a genuine love for each other and respect, I think respect is probably one of the most important things – I couldn’t imagine doing it with anyone else,” reveals Joel. And while he jokingly admits he and Hannah, 36, rarely have time for each other since becoming parents, he says.

“I love having a family, I love Wilde to bits, I couldn’t imagine life without him.” Someone who Joel looks to for relationship inspiration is his friend and The Masked Singer co-star, Davina McCall, and her new husband, Michael Douglas. “They’re just so in love, it’s beautiful,” he said.

Brooklyn Beckham has broken his cover with his wife Nicola Peltz as they step out looking casual following Brooklyn’s bombshell reported legal letter to his parents

Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz looked casual as they were seen for the first time since sending a bombshell legal letter to David and Victoria Beckham.

The pair were spotted heading to their car during an outing in Los Angeles. Brooklyn was seen dressed in shorts and a white t-shirt and trainers while billionaire heiress, Nicola, 31, donned an all black tracksuit paired with some oversized sunglasses. After the recent controversy, she was snapped with her head down as she walked with her mobile phone in hand.

The sighting comes just days after amateur chef Brooklyn sent his parents a legal letter, warning them to stop contacting him and to speak to him only through lawyers.

Brooklyn has warned David and Victoria – via his lawyers – not to contact him, directly or indirectly. This is said to have been done in order to ‘protect his mental health’. It comes after fans have begged Brooklyn to contact his estranged parents after spotting their repeated attempts to welcome him back into their fold with doting Instagram posts that have gone ignored.

A source familiar with the family’s feud, which kicked off in May, told the Mirror that Brooklyn’s mental health came first, adding that the letter was sent to ‘protect’ him after his “requests to stop” had gone ignored.

The family fallout reportedly began on the eve of David’s 50th birthday. Fans quickly began to notice Brooklyn was missing from a number of family occasions. This included both parents birthdays, while he also snubbed them on Instagram.

Brooklyn and Nicola continued to skip special family celebrations, including Sir David’s long-awaited knighthood last year. The couple also renewed their vows without a single member of Brooklyn’s immediate family in sight.

A source has claimed David, 50, and Victoria, 51, were left devastated when they received a legal request from their firstborn to block all direct contact with him.

They claim the couple are “desperately sad” about the situation and friends say every social media post or contact has been done out of a desire for reconciliation.

“They are only doing what every parent would do in this situation….they love Brooklyn deeply and will always be there for him,” says a source.

Brooklyn is also said to be annoyed after Victoria liked one of his Instagram posts and David shared a black and white picture of him as a child at Christmas.

Victoria reshared a cute black and white snap posted by husband David of him and Brooklyn, where the: “I love you all so much,” adding a red heart to the post.

David also shared another black-and-white snap with Victoria and all their brood, writing alongside it: “You are my life, I love you all, love Daddy. On to 2026.”

One source said: “David and Victoria will never give up trying to secure a reconciliation between them and their son. Nothing will change that, and they live in hope. He will always be their son, and they are not going to stop putting on record their feelings.”

The businesswoman became a breakout star of Netflix’s reality show Members Only Palm Beach

View 3 Images

Drama-filled reality series Members Only Palm Beach debuted on Netflix back in December, introducing viewers to five wealthy woman seeking power and influence in one of the world’s most exclusive postcodes.

Society veteran Gale Brophy has proven to be one of the show’s breakout stars since its release despite her role as a supporting figure. Throughout the episodes she is shown mentoring one of the main cast members, Rosalyn Yellin, in how to be a successful socialite.

She finds herself at the centre of her fair share of spats, including with property developer Hilary Musser who questions how authentic the Palm Beach ‘Grande Dame’ really is. It prompts Gale to confront her with a stack of magazine articles about herself, including some in which she graces the cover.

However, it appears the drama depicted on screen has been spilling over into real-life, with Gale taking to Instagram to issue a lengthy statement following reports of a feud with her co-star, Taja Abitbol.

The alleged beef reportedly began after Taja had Gale “removed” from her party promoting their new Netflix show. Meanwhile Gale alleged that she had been handled “roughly” on her way out and shut down speculation that she had been “intoxicated” at the event.

Now the businesswoman has declared that she will not be fuelling any further reports of a beef with Taja in a lengthy Instagram statement. She began: “Since the Members Only: Palm Beach premiere on Netflix, there’s been a lot of press — and not just about the show itself.

“What I want to clarify is this: the narrative changed, and it wasn’t changed by me. Multiple media outlets and eyewitnesses have reported that what was first suggested publicly did not align with what actually happened. That’s why the story has continued to evolve.”

She continued: “Several reports have described the situation as a rookie mistake — an attempt to ice someone out of press and filming when attention wasn’t landing where expected. Commentators and witnesses have openly questioned whether jealousy played a role, noting that the move ultimately backfired, creating the opposite impression of what was intended.

“I didn’t come to compete for attention. I showed up as myself — calm, respectful, and gracious. The cameras followed on their own. The press followed the facts. And the images spoke louder than any statement.

“I won’t engage in name-calling or drama. I don’t need to. When the coverage, photos, and firsthand accounts all point in the same direction, the truth tends to reveal itself — and the public decides.

“I’ll continue moving forward with dignity, letting my character speak louder than controversy.”

Away from her reality TV career, Gale is the CEO and owner of a property company, running two five-star estates which are billed as an alternative getaway to The Hamptons. Before this, she held top positions in a number of lucrative businesses in the worlds of finance, PR and especially horse racing.

Richard Keys seemed to be unaffected by any anger he’d caused as he was seen for first time since controversial comments about Gabby Logan’s late father

Richard Keys seemed to be happily ignoring the furore as he was seen for the first time on Tuesday morning after his controversial comments in a tribute to Gabby Logan’s late father caused huge upset.

The former Sky Sports reporter was smiling broadly and in high spirits as he left a breakfast at London’s Claridge’s Hotel with GB News broadcaster Eamonn Holmes – just days after furious fellow presenter Laura Woods branded him a “twat”.

Eamonn also looked to be in a good mood after the lunch, as he was seen grinning before making his exit helped by staff at the Mayfair restaurant and the use of his frame. The presenter is standing by his pal after Keys caused a furore after his comments in relation to the death of Logan’s father Terry Yorath last week.

Welsh football icon and Leeds United legend Tery passed away aged 75, his death following a short illness confirmed on Thursday morning.

In response to the sad news, his daughter Gabby was forced to leave Match of the Day mid-broadcast on Wednesday evening for a ‘’family emergency”. Joining the wave of tributes after the loss was reported, Keys wrote on X: “Sad to hear the news of Terry Yorath’s passing. He was a warrior & won fans over wherever he played.”

“He was great for us at Coventry & the reason I got Gabby a job at Sky. I had no idea who she was when we met, but I knew her dad. RIP Terry. Your daughter did you proud.”

Some felt the BeIN Sports broadcaster’s choice of words were insensitive and a deliberate dig at Gabby – including TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods, who responded, “Sorry… but what a t**t. Said with zero surprise.”

She added: “Also want to add my respects to the thousands of others who are showing theirs compassionately to a much beloved broadcaster and her family. Sending all my love x.”

Former BBC Sport presenter Dan Walker also urged Keys to change his tribute, posting: “Richard, just imagine what it would be like for Gabby, or a member of her family, to read this. I’m hoping you have just worded this badly and it isn’t a dig at a really difficult time. There is still time to change it.”

Later addressing his comments on X, Keys wrote: “What a shame my words for a footballing hero of mine were entirely misinterpreted. Terry Yorath was a fabulous guy. A warrior. My affection for him meant I was more than happy to help him & his family in any way I could. Gabby’s career would make any father proud. RIP Terry.”

Yet Key’s post is just the latest episode in a rocky relationship with Logan. Back in 2022 he threatened Logan with “libel action” after she wrote about an encounter with him and former Sky Sports pundit Andy Gray in her memoir, The First Half.

In the tome, she claimed Keys and Gray made “cruel” comments around her during a flight in 2005.

She wrote: “Even years after I’d left Sky, it appeared I was still fair game for Gray and Keys. I sat a row behind them on a flight to Istanbul for the Champions League Final in 2005, which I was covering for ITV. I was seven months pregnant with twins, and I was huge. I looked like I’d swallowed a space hopper.”

Logan’s family shared a heartfelt joint statement following the announcement of his death on Thursday, Logan later offering her own personal tribute on social media. “Rest in Peace Dad, our hearts are broken, your love and legacy lives on.”

His sports presenter daughter added later that evening: “Thank you for your messages of love and support today, it has meant the world to us. Our Dad a warrior on the football pitch, captaining club and country, a kind hearted and generous man off it, would have hated all the attention. (Well most of it).

“The stories that have been shared by strangers with us today have been enormously comforting. He touched so many people’s lives.

“We knew he had limited time, but it is still a shock. Yesterday afternoon I sat by his bed in St James Hospital Leeds and we had a debate about whether roast potatoes were better with calves liver than mash potatoes.

“That was the meal he’d decided he wanted when he went home, tomorrow. I left and went to work, he was looking forward to watching Newcastle v his beloved Leeds. He won’t go home tomorrow. But he is reunited with Daniel and that will feel like home.”

It’s not just with Logan that Keys has caused controversy in the past. In 2024, Jamie Redknapp also found himself in the firing line, as the sports pundit took aim at him, not for the first time, in a savage social media post.

Once colleagues, before Keys was sacked by Sky sports in 2011 after derogatory comments were aired, in the post last year, Keys made it clear after bumping into Redknapp that there was still bad blood between the pair.

Keys said on social media: “What a day for bumping into unpalatable people. I just saw Jamie Redknapp. Happily I needed a No2 which was much more pleasant than stopping to talk.”

The pundit also sparked controversy in 2023 when he married Lucie Rose, a woman reported to be a friend of his daughter, Jemma, following the demise of his 36-year marriage to his first wife, Julia – though that she was his daughter’s friend is something Keys has always denied.

The relationship ruffled feathers, particularly as it emerged while his ex-wife was battling cancer, and their wedding in June 2023 was attended by few family members, with his children notably absent.

Danny Miller made his debut on Emmerdale almost two decades ago and has become a favourite with viewers

Emmerdale legend Danny Miller has jokingly shared his axe fears after leaking his character Aaron Dingle’s “new look”.

The actor shot to fame playing Aaron, making his debut in 2008. Since then, he’s become a firm favourite with fans and has been involved in several big moments.

From his romance with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) to being involved in the recent epic Corriedale episode, Aaron’s time on the soap has not been short of drama.

And recently, actor Danny gave fans a sneak peek at Aaron’s new smarter look for 2026 – but Danny quickly followed up with a post to clear things up “in fear of losing my job”.

Taking to his Instagram Story on Tuesday (January 13) Danny shared a video of himself in his Emmerdale dressing room. Standing in front of a mirror, he said: “So this year I said it’s a new year, it’s a new me. Therefore, it’s a new Aaron as well.

“So costume said ‘Well, can we try something with you?’ and I said ‘Yeah let’s do it’. And they said ‘Do you fancy a new smarter Aaron, still in black of course’. And their response was this.”

Danny then turned the camera around to show himself wearing a black high-neck jumper and a quilted bomber jacket. He quipped: “It’s not a turtle neck. I’m assured it’s not a turtle neck.”

Danny then joked: “I suppose you could call it a ‘turneck’ and a ‘tulneck’.” Referring to his outfit, Danny added: “You can catch this live on ITV and ITVX sometime in February. But anyway do you like it?”

However, in the next Instagram Story Danny set things straight. Walking to the soap’s set he told his followers: “Just in fear of losing my job, I’d thought I’d better tell you it’s not live, just a disclaimer.”

Then talking about Aaron’s new look, he said: “It’s not a turtle neck, I’ve got a turteneck on it. It’s half a turtle for those who didn’t get the joke. I’m on the way to the studio and I’m excited to show everyone the new Aaron,” before quipping: “Nobody will notice and nobody will care.”

The Traitors: Uncloaked star Ed Gamble has opened up about his seven stone weight loss but admits he finds it tougher in one aspect being a lower weight

A star of The Traitors has opened up about their huge seven stone weight loss. The Traitors spin-off host Ed Gamble looks unrecognisable in photos taken before his huge transformation.

The Uncloaked presenter admitted he gained weight when he was younger and at his heaviest, he weighed 19 stone. Since then, he has slimmed down to 12 stone but admits it has come at a cost for him.

Speaking about his weight loss and health, he explained: “I was living so unhealthily I felt dreadful all the time. I wasn’t completely ignoring that I was type 1, but I was doing the bare minimum to stay alive.”

He added in a separate interview: “I went through a stage of binge eating and drinking, not really focusing on what I was doing to my body and my diabetes suffered as a result of that. Now, I have a much better quality of life because I’m more focused on my diabetes. Yes, it’s more work, but I feel a lot better about it.”

Ed has since turned to marathons and says the exercise and weight loss has helped to stabilise his diabetes.

“I thought, weight loss will be a good opportunity to try and get on top of the diabetes, however intimidating and overwhelming it seems. I’ve never looked back from that point,” he explained.

However, his change in weight has come at an emotional cost for Ed and he admits he feels more self-conscious than he ever did. He shared: “I don’t know where this thing came from where people think they’re allowed to comment on people’s bodies and weight. It’s really depressing if you’re on the other end of it.

“People’s reactions to the way people’s bodies change is absolutely insane sometimes. It’s best to just shut up. When I was bigger, I really didn’t care about my weight, as soon as I lost weight, that’s when I started to worry about how I looked. As soon as people started to say I looked nice, that’s when I started to worry.”

Admitting there is pressure on men to look a certain way, he added: “Within my lifetime, the ideal body shape for men has gone from skinny waif, noughties indie man to now, gigantic men. It’s all about putting as much weight and muscle as possible.”
