Maya Jama breaks silence on Ruben Dias relationship as she hints at major career change

This week, Maya Jama responded to rumors about her relationship with football player R. Dias.

It’s been reported that Maya, 30, and Rúben, 27, have been dating for a couple of weeks. Rben, the Love Island host, and Rben, reportedly met at the Manchester City player’s MTV Europe Music Awards in November. According to reports of the pair having spent New Year’s Eve together, R. B. R.’s post celebrating the new year’s eve sparked rumors of romance. He took a picture of two people squatting together while watching the sunset.

Although she responded to comments about the speculation this week, neither Maya nor Rben have confirmed a romance. On Tuesday, the Masked Singer panelist responded to a number of posts from an X-platform account. The account posted about people who “sit on the internet all day and obsess about people they don’t know and their relationship,” in response to Zendaya’s ostensible engagement to fellow actor Tom Holland. Maya provided screenshots of the account’s earlier tweets in the tweet.

One of my earlier posts addressed the “relationship” between Maya and Rben, who split from her ex Stormzy in July of last year. Beside laughing emojis, the account replied: “She don’t rest”. Later, they wrote in a post that “female jumpers from relationships to relationships are frightful.”

Sharing the screenshots alongside the account’s post about people ‘ obsessing ‘ over other people’s relationships, Maya wrote: “Oh]laughing emojis]… but..]shrugging emoji]”. The account later responded: “Lol hi Maya! Saying you don’t rest once is not obsessive. Good sense of humour though”. Recently, Maya and Rben reportedly met at the MTV EMAs at the Co-op Live arena in Manchester on November 10 and have reportedly been romantically linked. According to legend, the relationship “upped a gear” the following month.

Maya and Ruben reportedly had dinner with one of her pals in Ibiza on January 1st, according to a report earlier this month. According to previous reports, they were allegedly seen in a blurry snap that appeared on social media. After being ruled out of several matches by an injury, it has been claimed that Rben “jumped at the chance” to celebrate the New Year with Maya. A source told the Sun: “]They] swapped details at the EMAs and have chatted since, but things went up a gear in early December”.

The source added: “Spending New Year’s Eve together was a real step forward in their relationship”. The source went on to claim that Maya and Rúben “get on really well” and “make a gorgeous couple”, but said that “it’s early days”. Amid the speculation, Maya is returning as host of Love Island: All Stars for its second series, which launches next week. The presenter made fun of her interest in acting in the future ahead of the launch.

She has stated that she wants to pursue acting, as the Sun reported. Maya – who previously had a role in Netflix’s the Duchess – said: “I think I just want to enjoy the year and be open to all opportunities. I’d like to explore acting as well, just to put the feelers out there”.

Louis Theroux makes dramatic career change and joins BBC rival for new projects

Louis Theroux has dramatically changed his career and is leaving the BBC.

The broadcaster is reportedly stepping down from conducting celebrity interviews for the BBC because it is reportedly working on a project for a rival streaming service. Louis, 54, is the director of Louis Theroux Interviews and has appeared on numerous documentaries for the BBC. The show, which launched in 2022 and last aired the following year, saw him speak to various celebrities.

The journalist won’t be able to produce any more BBC Two episodes. For the “foreseeable future,” he won’t be producing any more Louis Theroux Interviews episodes. The outlet adds that his production company, Mindhouse, is not producing any new celebrity series for Netflix. Since founding the production company in 2019, Louis has spearheaded a number of projects it has released.

A source told The Sun: “Louis is very much seen as a BBC star, having launched his career there in 1998 when he was an unknown. And executives were incredibly impressed by his two interview series in 2022 and 2023. The source then concluded: “But now it seems he won’t be going back to the format, potentially for years”.

However, it’s reported that Dave Benett and Getty Images have cancelled their show Louis Theroux Interviews.

Through the BBC, Mindhouse has released a number of projects. They include the three-part docuseries Boybands Forever, which launched last year. The series, which featured interviews with Robbie Williams from Take That and Simon Cowell, is credited with Louis serving as an executive producer. However, the production company’s relationship with the BBC appears to be going on. The same broadcaster is reportedly planning to release the Rumoured Follow-Up Docuseries sometime in the coming year.

Mindhouse has collaborated with other broadcasters in the past five years, including releasing a few projects through Sky. Their most recent collaboration, Dart Kings, was released through Sky Documentaries last week. The production company has also worked with Channel 4, Netflix and Prime Video, among other platforms, previously.

The presenter’s production company is also behind the Louis Theroux Podcast, which debuted two years ago. Each episode of the podcast involves an “in-depth” conversation with a high-profile individual. The second and third series, which were released last year, were both released in 2023.

Earlier this week, Louis announced the release date for the podcast’s fourth series. The most recent episodes of the new series will be available starting January 14 in a post from him on X, formerly known as Twitter.

He said in a video message: “Hello, it’s me, Louis Theroux, here to inform you that I’m back with a new series of my podcast. Join me again on Tuesdays as I network with a smorgasbord of remarkable people from all walks of life.

Danny Dyer secures ‘really mad’ new film job after Disney’s Rival success

Danny Dyer has revealed he has landed a huge new film role, and he’s not only the leading male, but he’s the only actor in the whole production.

The 47-year-old star, who is currently starring in Disney+ drama Rivals, has shared that he’s set to fly to Dublin later this month to begin filming a new one-man-movie called Three Quick Breaths. The former EastEnders actor acknowledged that his upcoming film is a “really mad concept,” even though he can’t discuss it.

However, Danny’s admission to having a health scare caused a hiccup as he later received the all-clear. He has made it clear that he wants to change his life this year and that he will make an effort to quit smoking to keep his health up.

“I can’t talk too much about it. It’s a really mad concept. Due to Rivals, I’m trying to push myself now that I’m known as a sort of Marlon Brando in the acting world, I suppose. “I’m trying to push myself,” Danny told The Sun.

He continued: “Even though I’ve been acting for so long anyway, this is something that is going to be a real test for me. But I had to have a very, very in-depth medical]check] for insurance reasons.

” I’m the only one in this film. Its only one character. Just me. I won’t go too into it but it’s a bit like Phone Booth with Colin Farrell. It’s quite a clever idea. Because I’m the only actor, I had two doctors waiting at my door. Danny, who was best known for playing Mick Carter in EastEnders, is currently playing businessman Freddie Jones on the show, which also stars Emily Atack and Alex Hassell.

Based on Jilly Cooper’s novel, Rivals delves into the cutthroat world of regional television in Rutshire, seen through Corinium television. The plot centres around the fierce competition between Lord Tony Baddingham, played by David Tennant, and Rupert Campbell-Black, portrayed by The Boys ‘ Hassell.

And Danny praised David Tennant’s performance as Lord Tony Baddingham in the television series in recent days. Danny discussed his time on set with David during an interview with Ed Gamble and James Acaster on the Off Menu podcast.

He said:” I’m part of a proper, real ensemble cast with elite people. David Tennant, what a lovely geezer he is, you want him to be horrible because he is just perfect. He’s like a Rolls-Royce of acting. Despite the difficulties he encountered, especially when speaking Japanese for his character, “Danny also expressed his enjoyment of his role in Rivals.” He explained:” With Freddie, he’s lovely, he’s a teddy bear with a bite.

“And also, I speak a bit of Japanese in it which is worth tuning in for, just for that. Because I had a geezer on pe=”section-topic” data-link-tracking=”InArticle|Link” href=”https://www.mirror.co.uk/all-about/whatsapp”>WhatsAp p because it was all phonetic, it took a long time for me to learn this little bit.

Ekin-Su branded ‘phoney’ as plans to ‘distance herself from Love Island’ resurface

Ekin-Su Culculoglu has been slammed by Love Island viewers.

Fans are already furious that a former Islander might join the new Love Island All Stars season that will debut on Monday. Fans aren’t thrilled with Ekin-Su’s potential return after her criticism of the dating series when she appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in 2024, but she is rumored to be hiding out in South Africa and ready to appear as a bombshell at the All Star villa.

One fan wrote on X, formerly Twitter, that “Not Ekin-Su kicking off that people keep mentioning she was on Love Island only for her to go back to Love Island,” while another commented, “Not Ekin going back on after the hullabaloo she made of people mentioning the show while on CBB.” A third said: “The same Ekin-Su who didn’t want to be defined by her time on Love Island is… going back into the villa? Oop”.

Another Love Island fan expressed concern for Ekin Su, saying, “I’m really worried.” I felt like she had jumped from one show to another without taking a break while watching her on CBB. Additionally, she appeared to want to cut herself off from Love Island on CBB, and she became enraged whenever it was mentioned. “So why do this?” she asked.

Ekin-Su, 30, and her then-beau Davide Sanclimenti won the 2022 series, according to a source who spoke to The Sun. According to the source, “It took a lot of back and forth to persuade her to go back into the villa, especially after Ekin had such a difficult time on Celebrity Big Brother.” She wants to redeem herself and show the world why she is loved by the audience through her recent stint on Love Island All Stars. Whatever happens, ITV bosses have to decide whether she’ll be a day one star or a bombshell. However, whatever happens, she’s telly gold and will make a fantastic addition to the lineup.

Following her time on Love Island, Ekin-Su has also appeared on Dancing on Ice and The Traitors US in addition to Celebrity Big Brother. She claimed in October of last year that she had made mistakes and was “more picky now” when it came to picking which shows to watch.

“I wouldn’t just do anything. I’ve done a lot in the past but I wouldn’t just jump onto the next thing because of the paycheck, I think I’ve learned my lesson”, she said. However, she also said she didn’t regret anything she had done in the past. “I don’t regret anything. I’m at a loss for words right now. I’m great. At the time, you blame yourself for things not going right, and you take accountability. I’ve used that word a lot: accountability, but now I’m kind of at the stage where I’m past everything. Being in the public eye is just part of it.

Romeo Beckham’s loved-up getaway with fellow nepo baby who dated Madonna’s son

Kim Turnbull, who had previously dated Madonna’s son Rocco Ritchie, and Romeo Beckham shared a glimpse of their happy vacation.

The 22-year-old David and Victoria Beckham son, 24, was first photographed with the DJ, 24, in November 2024, shortly after he had gotten cozy with Gray Sorrenti, the daughter of renowned fashion photographer Mario Sorrenti, another nepo.

Meanwhile, Kim’s father is a DJ and the founder of one of the UK’s first hip-hop labels, Ronin Records. Her grandfather, William Turnbull, had his art work displayed in many galleries, including London’s Tate. Romeo and Kim have been getting closer over the years, and they most recently took a romantic trip to Turks and Caicos.

On Tuesday, Romeo posted photos of the holiday on his Instagram account. He was seen rocking a bandana and sunglasses as he strolled along the shoreline in his swimming trunks. Additionally, he shared a photo of his stunning girlfriend lying in the sand while sporting a bikini.

He also shared a photo of Kim and her husband holding hands by the beach and a picture of Kim walking in a black bikini set next to the lavish swimming pool in the same post. He captioned the post: “Time away with the best company”. The new coupe received a lot of fanfare in the comment section.

One user said: “Well this is cuteeee”, while another posted: “Cutieee patootiesss”, along with several heart emojis. Last year, when Kim and Romeo were first spotted together at London’s Chiltern Firehouse, a source claimed he was enjoying dating life after his split from long-term girlfriend, Mia Regan, in early 2024 after five years together.

She and he were first pictured later in 2024.

Romao is young, single, and enjoying playing football, they claimed. He enjoyed his dates with Kim and Gray a lot. She previously dated Madonna’s son, Rocco Ritchie, and she is not a stranger to the spotlight. Kim and Romeo continued, adding that they had been drinking until the early hours of the following day at Chiltern Firehouse. Romeo is attractive, talented, and very charming, so why are so many women interested in getting a date with him?

Mia and Romeo had already become close friends, but Mia continued to be friends as they progressed without a romantic connection, she wrote on Instagram. She shared: “Love takes ­different forms &amp, paths as you mature.

” We aren’t together romantically but we do share lots &amp, lots of love for one another… after five years we friend-zoned each other — heheh. Romeo reportedly agreed to use the celebrity dating app Raya, which allows famous people to make romantic connections with one another following their breakup.
