Former Nickelodeon child star Tylor Chase has left fans deeply worried after viral footage emerged on TikTok showing him living rough on the streets of Riverside, California.

In the distressing clip shared on social media, Chase, who played Martin Qwerly in Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, appeared clearly upset.

The video, which has racked up thousands of views, prompted a wave of shock from those who grew up watching the hit Nickelodeon series. Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide aired between 2004 and 2007 and was created by Scott Fellows.

With the addition of Lindsey Shaw, Daniel Curtis Lee, and Devon Werkheiser, the show followed three middle school students through everyday difficulties.

Concerned social media users shared their condolences in the comments section. Many people sparked discussions about the devastating effects of early stardom, particularly when combined with addiction and mental health issues.

One viewer wrote, “This made me feel so depressed.” Another shocked fan expressed his shock by stating, “Really sad, he was trying to leave the camera.” I’m hoping he can resurrect his momentum.

According to a third person, “Children’s fame destroys everything, and 90% of these kids end up being addicts (just famous ones)”. The Hollywood industry is ailing, according to a fourth chime in. Someone else wrote, “Society failed him, his parents failed him.” To see, sad.

Many fans are still hopeful that the video will inspire others to help him, but some criticize whether or not the viral video was actually shot. You were aware of who he was. One viewer pleaded with God to keep him safe and watch over him.

Another added, “You don’t need to ask him stupid questions while you’re in front of a camera.” You were aware of who he was.

A third expressed similar sentiments, asking, “Why record him in such a way? ” He appeared uneasy. Off-camera, this could have all happened. A GoFundMe page was created to aid Chase after the video went viral, which quickly raised more than $1,200 (approximately £893).

His mother, who explained that her son has bipolar disorder and has ongoing financial issues, later shut down the fundraiser.

In a 2007 episode of the popular sitcom Everybody Hates Chris, Taylor reprised his role in an unnamed character after spending time on Ned’s Declassified.

In the same year, he played a younger Adam in James Franco’s action film Good Time Max. Before making his final on-screen appearance in L. A. Noire, Tyler left the show for a while.

After making it to the series finale alongside Love Island star Amber Davies, strict professional dancer Nikita Kuzmin has revealed his significant career decision.

Nikita Kuzmin has revealed his next move after this year’s Strictly Come Dancing came to an emotional end on Saturday. The professional dancer, 27, competed in the 2025 series alongside Amber Davies, who replaced his original partner Dani Dyer when she left the show.

However, despite entering the final minute, Amber and Nikita stunned the judges with unwavering chemistry and a dance floor presence. Karen Carney and her partner Carlos Gu defeated the pair to reach the final.

Nikita will be performing his very own high-octane dance show in 2026 in addition to the Strictly Live tour. This year will be busy. With a whopping 35 venues booked and multiple dates spread out across the UK over the summer, Burn the Floor: Supernova will debut.

Jason Gilkison, a BAFTA award-winner, will create the show. Fans of Nikita will be able to witness the charismatic dancer combining ballroom, Latin, and contemporary dances, while the professional dancer will bring new life to traditional Americanas like Foxtrot and Viennese Waltz.

Burn the Floor is Gilkison’s ballroom-based dance company, and it’s performed worldwide, thrilling audiences in Broadway in New York City and the West End in London since 1999. The company is credited with reinventing the ballroom dance form, to make way for the likes of Strictly. Tickets for Nikita’s tour are available here.

Because his sister is also a talented performer, Nikita’s talent for dancing must be in the Kuzmin’s blood. Since 2012, Anastasia Kuzmina has been a professional dancer on Ballando con le Stelle, the Italian version of Dancing with the Stars.

Originally from Ukraine, the siblings moved to Italy when Nikita was nine, with both of them getting involved in the country’s dance scene. Anastasia has also moved into musical theatre, having appeared in the Italian production of Neverland in 2024.

However, Nikita revealed that Anastasia’s sister has a successful reality TV career as well, which is not her only foray into fame. She won the Italian Race Across the World competition, which she took part in.

Proud brother Nikita shared about her experience on Instagram, crediting her with inspiring him. He wrote: “Little fact. My sister @anastasia__kuzmina has done the Italian version of @raceacrosstheworld about 12 years ago (and Won It).

Seeing her travel through India inspired me to travel there ten years later, which is still my favorite solo trip ever.

Fans were also made to believe Nikita and Amber had more in common after he was caught kissing her on the head after rehearsals. Although the two parties are in relationships, there are concerns that the infamous “cure” may be about to break out once more.

The observer remarked to the Sun, “The pair seemed very at ease in each other’s company. He seemed to be able to tenderly kiss her head and hold her delicately.

They added: “The couple are described as being locked in their own little world at times and the chemistry between them has raised eyebrows amongst their Strictly colleagues,” and also noted that there is an ‘undeniable spark’ between the Love Island winner and her partner.

Actor James Ransone, who is best known for playing Ziggy Sobotka on The Wire, passed away on Friday at the age of 46. His wife has spoken about his loss and his tragic passing.

After James Ransone’s sudden passing, his widow paid emotional tribute to him.

The Wire star James was found dead at a property in Los Angeles on Friday. The Medical Examiner’s office said in online records that the actor died by suicide and that he was discovered in a shed. He leaves behind his wife and two young children.

The HBO series, which aired until 2008 and was well-known throughout the world, featured James’ best role as Ziggy Sobotka. He also appeared on the television programs Poker Face and Bosch, as well as It: Chapter Two, The Black Phone, and Black Phone 2.

His wife Jamie McPhee shared a heartbreaking Instagram post on Sunday night. She shares son Jack, six, and daughter Violet, four, with the late star. Grieving Jamie shared an image showing him with his hands on her baby bump before she gave birth to their youngest child.

She continued, “I told you I had loved you 1000 times before and I know I will love you again.” You both need to be more like me and I do, and you both have both got it right. Thank you, Jack, and Violet for giving me the best gifts. We’re eternal.

She then continued to update her profile with a National Alliance on Mental Illness fundraiser. On X, his co-star on The Wire, Wendell Pierce, said, “Sorry I couldn’t be there for you, brother. While HBO captioned a photo of the star with the words “In loving memory of James Ransone,” “Rest in Peace James Ransone.”

James remarked about his troubled early years of life, saying, “I did not fit in well with everyone. I think that most children go through this difficult time, just like I do most of them. It’s very uncomfortable. I once had a very difficult time with the typical public schools.

“Then, my mother discovered this school.” She said, “Hey, they’re opening this arts school. You are free to depart. You must perform an audition. It would be very simple for me to enroll because I would be the first person to have graduated completely. I said, “Yes. I’ll do everything to avoid these people. It saved me as a child, in my opinion. I was saved by attending arts school.

“I still struggle with acting as a catharsis. I don’t end up playing many likeable characters, so I’m finding myself in a lot of unlikable skin. I don’t feel good as a result of that. I experience much more catharsis when I film, paint, or create short films. You are in some control. I believe that the true essence of art is in the creation of something that is beyond words. Good art begins where language ends.

Fans cried over the weekend news and tributes have poured in for James One, who “given the best adult performance in IT: Chapter 2” He made the best transition between the child and adult performances out of the rest of the cast, which was impressive. A genuine talent betrayed.

When I learned that he played a key role in the new IT, I was “so excited.” A heaven-made literary match. James was such a talented actor, and he always delivered audiences a character they’d never forget. In Generation Kill, I adored Ziggy, just like I adored his in The Wire. He was definitely going to get the career boost he so desperately needed, I thought,” a second said.

“Very sad” was a third song. “Heartbreaking news,” according to one of the four who added: “46 is so young.” In both Black Phone and It Chapter Two of the Sinister movies, he did a fantastic job. Due to James’ father’s two children, his family received also special tributes.

“I’m definitely sparing a thought for the family. A few days before Christmas and they lose their father like this. Life will never be the same for them, and surely the holidays will always be a struggle,” one shared.

Her heartbroken boyfriend James Knight and record producer ex-husband Steve Lillywhite banded together to protect her two traumatized sons as best they could after the tragic passing of Fairytale of New York singer Kirsty MacColl, her devastated boyfriend James Knight, and her beloved ex-husband Steve Lillywhite.

In a desperate attempt to save her son, singer-songwriter Kirsty MacColl made the ultimate sacrifice on December 18, 2000, passing away instantly. And in the years that followed, her ex-husband and partner continued to support her traumatized children.

Kirsty’s bravery will never be forgotten, despite her perhaps best-known for her beloved Fairytale of New York duet with Shane McGowan. When what should have been a happy holiday fell apart, Keen diver Kirsty and her two sons, Louis and Jamie, and her musician boyfriend James Knight, both of whom were on vacation in Cozumel, Mexico, were on a horror-filled trip.

At a designated diving area where watercraft were prohibited from entering on that terrible day, just seven days before Christmas, Kirsty and her children were attempting to go for a dive at the Chankanaab reef with veteran divemaster Iván Daz.

A powerboat was speeding straight into the restricted area and Jamie, 15, as she came out of a dive when Kirsty noticed it. Jamie was able to escape harm, and his ribs and head were only minorly injured thanks to heroic mother Kirsty. In a bizarre way, Kirsty instantly died from severe chest injuries. She was only 41 years old.

Her ex-husband Steve Lillywhite has previously spoken out about the moment he learned from James what had happened, while Kirsty’s son Louis, who is now 25 years old, has revealed what happened in his mother’s tragic loss.

Speaking with the Daily Express, record producer Steve, now 70, recalled: “It was such a massive shock. I just thought, ‘Oh s***’ and was desperate to get to the boys but there were no flights that evening from New York. I phoned Chris Blackwell, who owned Island Records, and he got me flown down on his private plane.

No tears, just total shock as the boys and James, who were watching cartoons on the bed when I entered the hotel room. James was only 26 and was closer to my age. They have never really spoken to me about what they saw, which is so horrifying to imagine.

They were greeted by a moving sight after leaving their family home in Ealing and flying to London. Steve claimed that Kirsty had erected the Christmas tree and that there were presents underneath. We tried to have a good Christmas by returning to the house in Ealing, but it was difficult.

After her passing, James raised Louis and Jamie at their father’s house and in the Ealing family home. They worked together, according to Louis. We had a good time. “Steve continues, “James is a good bloke, and he and Kirsty are perfect partners. She found a new partner, which I was pleased to see. We have spent Christmases together, and I still meet up with him while I’m in London.

Louis, a 39-year-old former restaurant owner from London, still recalls the tragedy in a “wobbery.” He said, “It was such a traumatic experience, and a lot of what happened is still a blur for me.” It was incredibly grim, to be honest.

“I can’t recall the specifics of that trip to Mexico, but I do recall thinking, “Where’s Jamie?” in the water. I occasionally recall conversations between him and I, but I still recall them. It was and continues to be so. Before they let us out, we could only have spent a short while in the water. I really don’t recall that much.

Steve, who has just released a new live version of Fairytale of New York, made an additional revelation about the alleged plot surrounding Kirsty’s death in a separate interview with The Sun. Guillermo Gonzalez Nova, a wealthy businessman who was on board at the time of the horrifying incident, was the owner of the power boat. Despite not having a license to operate the boat, a crew member by the name of Jose Cen Yam ended up taking the blame, and there are those who don’t think the entire story is true.

No one believes that the publication claimed it was a young child driving, according to Steve. Because he was one of Mexico’s richest men, I believe they simply didn’t want to have a significant lawsuit.

Johan Tham, the husband of Call the Midwife star Jenny Agutter, passed away at the age of 81 after battling cancer. The Swedish hotelier and property entrepreneur who was in charge of restoring Cliveden House to its former splendor passed away on November 17.

After meeting at the Bath Literary Arts Festival, Jenny, who also appeared in The Railway Children and An American Werewolf in London, wed Johan. Jonathan, a son of the couple, works as a general practitioner in London. Jennifer previously claimed that being married was “lovely” and “very grounding,” but the actress acknowledged that when they first met in 1989, they had no idea who she was.

She stated to the Daily Mail, “One of the benefits of meeting people and forming relationships as an actor is that people don’t know who you are before they meet you.” That’s challenging in any relationship, especially for men.

Johan and I initially didn’t seem to know who I was at all when we met, but he wanted to find out, which made a big difference. 31 years later, I’m still learning more about him.

Johan and his first wife Anna Lallerstedt had two stepchildren and a daughter named Johanna, who is now a special needs teacher.

Jenny’s son, who arrived five weeks early on Christmas Day, is a dramatic real-life birth. Jenny was a prisoner of war in 1990 when she was away celebrating with her family in Oxfordshire.

Jenny recalls his birth in an interview with Yours Magazine, saying, “I called my obstetrician and he inquired whether I was in labor.

“I told him I didn’t know because I hadn’t gone through it or anticipated him.” You’d better come in, he said, and I’ll see you.

Jenny concludes, “My son arrived very late, and I was there all day.” A long day was it”!

Viewers adore Jenny Agutter’s heartfelt portrayal of Sister Julienne on Call the Midwife.

The 73-year-old actress has been a fan favorite since the very first episode of the BBC period drama first aired in 2012. Sister Julienne is a force to reckon with, empathetic but forceful, and as if frequently the voice of reason among Nonnatus House’s nuns and nurses as well as the wider Poplar community.

On December 20, 1952, Jenny was born in Taunton, Somerset. Due to her father, Derek, being a former member of the British Army, she reportedly spent time living in various locations around the world, including Singapore, Cyprus, and Kuala Lumpur as a child.

Jenny was spotted by a casting agent at a boarding school in Birmingham between the ages of 8 and 16. After starring in East of Sudan in 1964, Jenny re-entered the world as a 12-year-old actress.

She made her first appearance in the BBC’s adaptation of the well-known book in 1968 in The Railway Children. Jennifer reprised her role in the 1970 film adaptation of The Railway Children as Roberta.

The actress made her third appearance in an ITV movie version of the book in 2000, this time as the mother. She reprised her role in the movie The Railway Children Return in 2022.

Jenny has appeared in numerous television shows and movies, including the smash-hits American Werewolf In London, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, and Walkabout, with an incredible, and very successful, acting career spanning more than six decades.
