Videos of YouTuber Jake Paul coming out as gay and have been going viral, but they aren’t real. In fact, they’re deepfake videos of the YouTuber, created using AI.

In the deepfake clip, ‘Jake’ says: “Feels good to finally breathe and be myself.” Other deepfake videos show him in a pink ballet costume, with a full face of make-up and even speaking Arabic.

In a TikTok video captioned “AI is getting out of hand”, the 28-year-old told his followers: “It’s honestly not even a joke,” but playing into the joke, he spoke in a camp tone when a friend asked him if he wanted a Celsius drink.

In a second video, the YouTuber shared a moment with his fiancée Jutta Leerdam, where she said: “I don’t like it, it’s not funny,” insisting that some people do actually believe everything that gets published on the internet.

Even his followers have taken to social media to discuss the matter, with one saying: “I still can’t believe I got fooled by an AI Jake Paul video, it’s soooooo over man.” A second one wrote: “AI Jake Paul is going viral on tiktok and it’s terrifyingly realistic.”

A second one commented: The videos I’ve been seeing online made by the new Sora AI are genuinely concerning. I used to find it easy to differentiate AI videos and photos from real ones. But now, there’s a very high chance we will get scammed by these sooner or even when we’re older. We are cooked, like this is literally Jake Paul, and I had to find out from the comments that it’s AI.”

What are deepfake videos?

If you’re not familiar with the term, deepfakes are videos, pictures, or audio clips created using artificial intelligence. Users have been turning to an OpenAI app called Sora to create the AI-generated videos.

Although they’re only for entertainment purposes, they’ve also been used by people with malicious intentions or to spread false information.

However, OpenAI has made its policies very clear about the prohibition of manipulating someone’s image without the person’s consent. “You may not edit images or videos that depict any real individual without their explicit consent,” its site read.

“You may not create images or videos as means to impersonate, harass, intimidate, or otherwise harm the depicted individual or perpetrate fraud against others.”

Users can report any content that violates OpenAI/Sora’s terms here.

How to spot deepfake videos online

Following the viral Jake Paul clips, TikToker @showtoolsai shared some tips and tricks on how to spot AI-generated videos. He explained: “Jake Paul has a Sora account, and his settings let anyone deepfake him.”

Despite OpenAI’s strict policies of not editing images or videos that depict any real individual without their consent, this can all change depending on your settings. Using a concept called “cameo”, users can choose who has the access to make images or videos using your image.

Explaining the different ways to spot a deepfake video, the TikToker said to look for the Sora watermark, although he warned that it could also get removed.

He further explained: “You should know that Sora has noise and AI artefacts. Sora’s noise is really visible in his hair in these videos. Look at how his hair dances around. It’s like a static effect. The static is everything, but is most visible in textures like hair.”

The TikToker also encouraged people to confirm whether the person who posted the video is trustworthy, and to be sceptical of reposts.

It’s easy to copy what the former Spice Girl has for breakfast to maintain her looks

Victoria Beckham is back on Netflix with her own self-titled docuseries, which launched on the streaming platform today (October 9). It follows her busy life as she prepares for Paris Fashion Week whilst also charting some of her life and career so far.

The former Spice Girls star turned fashion designer might suggest she treats herself to decadent breakfasts as part of her lavish lifestyle. However, the former pop singer reportedly chooses something that is both simple and nutritious to start off her day.

HELLO Magazine reports that the mum-of-four maintains a consistent diet, with the 51-year-old rarely straying from her normal morning rituals. According to her friend, actress Eva Longoria, Victoria eats a modest meal each morning.

Speaking to MailOnline, Longoria said: “[Victoria] is actually easy because we eat the same breakfast. We both love egg whites and avocado. When we’re together… she makes a great egg whites and avocado.”

Victoria Beckham also previously revealed to The Telegraph that she consumes three or four avocados daily to keep her skin’s radiance, as reported by the Express. Avocados are a great addition to the Mediterranean diet due to their high content of healthy monounsaturated fats, similar to olive oil. They are also loaded with fibre and essential nutrients such as folate and potassium.

By abandoning the egg yolk, the nutritional makeup of this everyday essential shifts dramatically. The yolk holds most of the egg’s calories, fat and cholesterol.

At first glance, removing the yolk—which represents nearly half of the egg’s protein content—might appear counterproductive. However, a Healthline report claims that egg whites, due to their substantial protein content, can help boost protein consumption without significantly affecting calorie intake.

Egg whites can be a weight-loss wonder. They are packed with protein that keeps you feeling full and helps build muscle, all while being low in calories, fat, and cholesterol. This perfect balance of protein and calories allows you to up your protein intake without piling on the pounds, helping maintain a trim physique.

Victoria reportedly often pairs her lean egg whites with avocado, another nutritional powerhouse, ensuring her breakfast is not only low in calories but also nutritionally balanced. According to BBC Good Health, an 80g serving of avocado includes 152kcal, 1.5g protein, 3.6g fibre, and around 360mg of potassium.

Avocados have become a must-have in the diets of many celebs, from royalty like King Charles to reality TV stars such as Kourtney Kardashian. This green superfood is loaded with essential nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that contribute to overall health.

Avocado can be a skin saviour thanks to its healthy fatty acids, vitamins (like E, C, and A), and antioxidants that nourish, boost hydration, and protect against ageing and sun damage. Eating avocados aids in collagen production and enhances skin elasticity, while applying avocado oil directly to the skin moisturises, softens, and soothes it.

Its high concentration of vitamin E promotes healthy skin and eyes and strengthens the immune system. While avocados might seem high in fat, they are actually monounsaturated fats, which studies suggest can help fend off heart disease.

According to a recent study, avocados, with their high fat and fibre content, are a great choice for those looking to manage or lose weight. However, turning brown once cut open is a common problem.

Several people have shared ‘life hacks’ that could prolong the life of this popular fruit if it is cut and stored in a certain way. A popular home hack Instagram account (@jimmy_laura_astuces) has claimed that the way you slice your avocado can significantly affect how long it stays fresh.

Instead of the usual top-to-bottom lengthwise cut, they suggest cutting it widthwise, across the middle. This leaves half the seed intact and has a smaller exposed surface area, making it a perfect fit for a small container like a mug.

Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen has revealed how she stays fit and healthy while working alongside her ex-husband Clive on the family farm

Our Yorkshire Farm’s Amanda Owen has humorously suggested she’s reached her limit with her ex-husband Clive. The 51-year-old met Clive in 1996, and they soon became the proud owners of Ravenseat Farm in the Yorkshire Dales.

However, after a 22-year marriage, the couple decided to separate in 2022, but they continue to jointly manage the farm.

Besides featuring on the popular Channel 5 series Our Yorkshire Farm and running the business, Amanda is also a successful author, having penned five books about farming life.

In addition to her other commitments, Amanda maintains an active Instagram account where she shares snippets of her life on the farm.

She recently opened up about her post-divorce life working alongside Clive on the farm, how they divide responsibilities, and how she stays fit amid all this.

Speaking to i, she revealed that her fitness routine is largely made up of the physical labour involved in her work, reports Yorkshire Live.

Amanda shared: “Shearing sheep keeps me in shape. That’s where I get my biceps from. That and towing horses, lifting up rocks, dry stone walling, filling ditches – just doing stuff.

“I don’t do any weights. Reuben, my 21-year-old, is the only child who’d beat me in an arm wrestle because he does groundwork and landscaping, so he’s incredibly strong.”

However, when it comes to her ex-husband, the mother-of-nine draws a line.

She went on to say: “I’ve probably reached tipping point with Clive; I don’t think he’d tackle me because he wouldn’t want the humiliation.”

Amanda also mentioned that while she and Clive are “civil”, they “still bicker” — and instead of sharing a home, “he’s next door”.

This isn’t the first time Amanda has opened up about working alongside her ex-husband on the farm and co-parenting their children.

In a chat with Hello! magazine, she confessed that their dynamic hasn’t changed much — they still get on each other’s nerves.

She told the magazine: “What am I supposed to say, ‘We get on like a house on fire?’ Well, if we did, we wouldn’t want to separate, would we?

“He’s still the same annoying old Clive that he always was. I’ve seen him just now, and he’s still annoying — I annoy him, and he annoys me.

Yungblud paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards by performing a medley of the late musician’s hits, but received some backlash from critics

The Osbourne family have shown their support for Yungblud after the singer faced backlash for his tribute to the late Prince of Darkness at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards.

The British rocker, 27, joined Aerosmith legends Steven Tyler and Joe Perry, along with guitarist Nuno Bettencourt, for an emotional performance in honour of Ozzy Osbourne at the awards ceremony.

The rocker died in July at the age of 76. The makeshift VMA band performed a medley of Ozzy’s biggest hits, including Crazy Train, Changes and Mama, I’m Coming Home.

Ozzy’s son Jack and his children introduced the performance via a video link, and during the set itself, Yungblud shouted “Ozzy forever, man!” as the music came to a close.

While many fans were moved by the performance, others accused Yungblud of using the moment to further his career.

In the days following the VMAs, The Darkness guitarist Dan Hawkins blasted the segment online, calling it “another nail in the coffin of rock ’n’ roll” and “cynical, nauseating and s***”. He added: “Makes me sick how people jump on this s*** to further their own careers.”

However, the Osbourne family appears to be standing by Yungblud. The team running what used to be Ozzy’s X account have now tweeted a post that reads: “For your @RecordingAcad Grammy consideration, ‘Changes’ live from Villa Park during the Back to the Beginning concert.”

The tweet was accompanied by a video of Yungblud performing Changes, with a subtitle suggesting it is being pushed for Best Rock Performance of the year. Sharon Osbourne later reposted the tweet.

Fans quickly flooded the comments with messages of support. One wrote: “Thanks to the Osbourne Family for this! Jack was amazing in the interview with Dom. The love & care shown between them was genuine, just as it was with Dom & Ozzy. The family took Dom under their wing because he was simply one of their people.”

Another added: “Hearing a classic like Changes played live in a new setting proves this. The crowd’s reaction shows the band’s unique interpretation resonates deeply, creating a new shared memory.”

However, not everyone was convinced. One critic hit out: “Wait… the fake manufactured ‘rock star’ is getting an award for singing badly with autotune? Don’t destroy Black Sabbath’s legacy with this terrible singer, please.”

Yungblud, whose real name is Dominic Harrison, had a personal relationship with Ozzy Osbourne while the rock legend was alive.

When Ozzy died, Dominic posted photos of the two of them laughing together on social media, writing: “I didn’t think you would leave so soon. You were so full of life and your laugh filled up the room… I will never forget you — you will be in every single note I sing and with me every single time I walk on stage.”

At the MTV Awards, Yungblud could even be seen wearing the late musician’s cross necklace in what some believe was a subtle tribute to Ozzy.

McFly star Harry Judd’s wife Izzy has opened up on the challenges of parenting a neurodiverse child who has the difficult condition Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA)

View 2 Images

Harry Judd’s wife Izzy has shared that one of their three children has been diagnosed with a condition that means you can’t tell them what to do. The 41-year-old, who is mum to daughter Lola Rose, nine, and sons Kit, eight, and four-year-old Lockie, opened up on the challenges she and McFly star Harry, 39, face as parents of a neurodiverse child who has Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA).

Widely understood to be a condition found within some autistic people, the PDA Society explains it as “where a person finds it hard to manage everyday tasks or demands, even those they want or need to do.” Speaking on former Love Island star Dr Alex George’s Stompcast podcast, Izzy didn’t reveal which one of her children it was but shared what life was like in their household.

She said: “From the moment a child wakes up in the morning, they are being told to eat their breakfast, get dressed, brush your teeth. And all these anxieties are forming in them – that people are putting pressure and demands on them.”

The former Escala violinist, who was a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent and met husband Harry when her string quarter performed on McFy’s tour, continued: “They don’t respond to authority or hierarchy. They want autonomy, they want to be in control.”

Explaining how her and Harry handle things instead, she shared: “If you flip it and go, ‘I’ve left your clothes out,’ – I actually just don’t even say it anymore. And I don’t ask many questions at all because that’s placing a demand, and a demand is too anxiety-provoking.”

Sharing the diagnosis has forced her to “let go of comparisons” of other people’s opinions on their parenting style, Izzy said: “‘There are quite rigid societal expectations of how children are supposed to behave.

“Initially, I felt the judgement really heavily. You have to go through a kind of grief process that things aren’t going to be as you thought they would be.

“For a neurodivergent child, they’re physically unable to sit. It’s not because they don’t want to – they can’t. But then, as a parent, you’re going: ‘I need to teach my child to sit at the table and say please and thank you.’ What if they can’t look at somebody? What if that makes them feel really uncomfortable?”

She continued: “To the outsider looking in, they might see that as a sort of lazy parenting or a lack of discipline, or whatever it is they want to say.

“I kind of let go of being late a long time ago. The more pressure you feel – ‘You’ve got to go!’ – the more it’s going to slow everything down. Now I just shove them in the car, and if they’re cold, they’ll put on their coat. Once they feel the autonomy that they’re in control, amazing things happen.”

The mum-of-three said the stress of it had led to them doing things like skipping kids’ birthday parties because there are too many behavioural expectations tied to them.

She said: “Birthday parties are hugely challenging. If your child isn’t behaving ‘normally’, you spend the entire time conflicted about how to handle it. So a long time ago, I thought: why am I going to these parties? No one’s enjoying it.

“So we don’t don’t do birthday parties. Also, if we wrap a birthday present, we will say what’s in it. Not knowing what’s inside a present is a big thing – a big demand to open it and then be grateful and then say thank you.”

Calling on schools to do better for neurodiverse kids, Izzy added: “Our classrooms aren’t really inclusive. For a lot of our neurodivergent kids, everything in school is a struggle. It can just take a couple of teachers to really understand your child – that could be the difference between them being able to remain at school.”
