The woman was in the front row of a packed show when a cake came soaring through the air and hit her in the face, causing her to lose her balance and fall over as the crowd cheered on

A woman was hit in the face with an entire cake at a gig, but while many people said they’d be “fuming” if the same thing happened to them, others had an entirely different perspective on the situation. The woman was in the front row of a show for American DJ and record producer, Steve Aoki.

The 47-year-old electronic dance music artist, who has released seven hit albums, is known for his collaborations with an eclectic mix of musicians and bands, including the likes of will.i.am, Blink-182, Louis Tomlinson, Iggy Azalea, Backstreet Boys, Linkin Park, Fall Out Boy, Afrojack and many more.

His career got off to an impressive start, with his debut album, Wonderland, gaining a Grammy Award nomination for Best Dance/Electronica Album in 2013. Steve Aoki is also a keen performer, with audiences at his shows treated to a variety of stunts from acrobatic crowd surfing to the contentious cake throwing.

Aoki regularly throws cakes at fans – and one instance of this was recently caught on camera and shared on Tiktok.

In the footage, a cake can be seen soaring through the air from the stage towards the crowd, standing behind a metal barrier. A woman is hit in the face by the sweet treat, which causes her to temporarily lose her balance and fall over.

She gets back up and stares directly into the camera, while the rest of the crowd cheers.

In the comments section, fellow TikTok users were split – some had no clue this was a common feature of the DJ’s shows, while others were well aware and keen to point out the woman in the footage – as well as any other Steve Aoki fan – should’ve known to expect this.

One fan, who would’ve been very unhappy to be hit in the face with a cake, said: “I would be crying, not funny”.

Another said: “Am I the only one that would be fuming!?”

A third asked: “I never heard of this. Are people excited to get hit with the cake?”

Fans of the DJ were quick to offer insight on this somewhat unusual – though very much appreciated – practice.

One person said: “All these comments: Tell me you don’t know Steve Aoki, without telling me you don’t know Steve Aoki.”

Someone else commented: “for y’all that would be mad this is his THING. People have been getting cakes thrown at them for years and love it. Do your research on the set list and/or DJs.”

Another said: “Steve Aoki is known for doing this. So if you go to his concert, and stand in the front row… I mean…”

And another agreed: “For the youth, It is a massive privilege to be caked by Steve Aoki”.

But someone else shared: “I could never go to Steve’s show because I hate being dirty and this is my worst nightmare”.

Others were impressed with the DJ’s aim. One fan commented: “How is Steve Aoki so accurate with these cakes?! It’s not natural, I say!”

Another said: “It’s actually impressive how accurate he is at throwing full cakes.”

Hollywood legend Robert Redford has died at the age of 89, with the Hollywood icon making his final TV appearance in the AMC+ show Dark Winds, which he also executive produced

Oscar-winning director and actor Robert Redford has died at the age of 89. The Hollywood icon died peacefully in his sleep at his Utah home early Tuesday morning.

His passing comes just months after his return to the small screen after a six-year absence. The Sundance Kid made a cameo in the AMC / AMC+ show Dark Winds in March this year.

The late actor served as executive producer on Dark Winds, alongside George R. R. Martin, 76, the author behind the Game of Thrones novels, and both featured in cameos during the show’s Season 3 premiere.

Redford and Martin appeared in the episode as prison inmates engaged in a game of chess. Martin’s character defeated Redford’s in checkmate, with assistance from the show’s lead character, Navajo tribal police officer Joe Leaphorn (Zahn McClarnon).

According to Vulture, Redford and Martin’s scene was filmed on a closed set at Redford’s request. The programme centres on Navajo police officers during the 1970s.

Episode director Chris Eyre revealed to Vulture that the concept for Martin and Redford’s cameos had been “in the air since the first season,” but admitted “just to be sitting there going, Oh, I’m gonna direct Robert Redford, struck fear in me.”

He continued, “Bob is so kind and he was so nice on the day, and so was George. But I remember Zahn turning to me when we were about to start shooting and he goes, ‘You’re doing a scene with Robert Redford, that’s incredible,’ and I said, ‘Zahn, will you be quiet? You’re making me nervous’.”

Prior to his TV cameo in March, Redford’s final onscreen film role was in 2019’s Avengers: Endgame, where he reprised his character from 2014’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier.

Before one of his last films, 2018’s The Old Man & The Gun, Redford announced his retirement. However, at the premiere, he confessed to Variety that announcing his retirement “was a mistake.”

Redford, who was known for his activism, as well as his dashing good looks, also directed films such as Ordinary People, for which he won an Oscar, and A River Runs Through It. He also founded the Sundance Film Festival, which has taken place annually in Utah in the US since 1978.

A statement from his publicist Cindi Berger, chairman and chief executive of talent agency Rogers and Cowan PMK, said: “Robert Redford passed away on September 16, 2025, at his home at Sundance in the mountains of Utah–the place he loved, surrounded by those he loved. He will be missed greatly. The family requests privacy.”

Tributes have been pouring in for Redford, known for films including Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid, All The President’s Men and The Sting. “RIP to Robert Redford, one of the most iconic American actors and all time handsome dude,” one fan wrote on Twitter (X) as the news broke today.

Another shared a clip of Redford talking on stage, musing: “Not just a legendary actor but a pioneer of indie cinema and so much more. There’s no Sundance without Robert Redford. Seeing him at my very first of many, his last appearance too, cemented how iconic and special it was to be at that festival he created. Thank you Robert. RIP.”

Karren Brady’s daughter, Sophia Peschisolido, has revealed she is in the process of trying to seel her lavish Dubai property as she prepares for the arrival of her second child

Karren Brady’s daughter has put her lavish Dubai property on the market for a whopping £1.4million. Sophia Peschisolido, who is currently pregnant with her second child to fiance Frankie Makin, has decided to part ways with her luxurious pad.

Sophia took to social media to reveal the duo are selling up, urging any interested buyers to get in touch. She showed off the stunning spot, including it’s own swimming pool, in the post.

Sophia wrote: “With another baby arriving very shortly @sophiapesch. We are now considering offer’s [sic] for our villa. 7m AED. Any more info please get in touch.”

The price converts to approximately £1.401million. Sophia showed off the relaxing spot, which had a wonderful walkway leading to the pristine pool.

There were a number of spots to lounge in, while the garden and shrubbery looked impeccable. Also visible was an outside grill that was the perfect spot for entertaining.

The clip, shared by Frankie and Sophia, then takes viewers into their open plan space with neutral design. The plush master bedroom and exquisite bathroom is also shown, encapsulating the beautiful living space.

She regularly shares content on social from her abode and is now looking to move on. Sophia thanked those who had contacted her, but pointed them in her partner’s direction fro further comments.

She went on to share a birthday message for her nephew. Sharing a collage of images, she wrote: “Happy birthday to our nephew Blue. Love you so much hope you have the best birthday ever, our first baby.”

Alongside her house move, Sophia has regularly kept fans updated with her pregnancy journey. A week ago she posted a reel of images while posing in a fitted white gown. She simply captioned the upload: “Waiting for you baby boy.”

Last year, Karren gave an insight into her life as a grandparent. The Apprentice aide shared an update about her daughter and grandson, who she called an “extra special” birthday present.

In the final episode of last year’s The Apprentice spin-off, You’re Hired, host Tom Allen said: “A lot has been going on for both of you recently. Karren, I hear congratulations are in order – you’ve recently become a grandmother.”

Karren responded: “I have indeed.” Following applause from the studio audience, she shared: “He is the most beautiful little boy in the world and my daughter is a natural mother.” She then added: “Mother and baby are doing so well.”

Expressing her pride about Sophia, who is the eldest of her two children, and her partner Frankie Makin, Karren further commented: “I am so proud of her and her family and her husband and everybody’s really well, so it’s great.”

The comments came after Sophia took to the social media to celebrate her mum’s birthday, which is exactly a week after her baby’s birthday.

The beloved TV series Friends ended 21 years ago, but fans are only just discovering there was one plot explored on the fictional show that could ‘never be true’

Even 21 years after the last episode aired, Friends remains one of the most popular shows on television. You can often find episodes of the sitcom rerunning on various channels on your TV, and there are dedicated fans who will rewatch the entire series at least once a year.

But even die-hard fans of the show are only just realising that some parts of the fictional series are so outlandish they could actually “never be true” in the real world. And in a video shared on TikTok by Justin Taite, one of those lies was brought to light – and it’s all to do with Matt LeBlanc’s character, Joey Tribbiani.

If you’re a fan of Friends, you’ll know that Joey is an actor, and one of the biggest roles he lands is playing Doctor Drake Ramoray on the soap opera, Days of Our Lives. But did you know Days of Our Lives is a real TV show – and there’s no way Joey ever could have starred on it?

Days of Our Lives aired on NBC in the US, the same network that premiered Friends, between 1965 and 2022, and new episodes have been on Peacock since 2022. So, while the show does really exist, there’s one thing that would have stopped a real-life Joey from ever appearing on it – and it’s all to do with where Friends is set.

In his TikTok video, Justin, who is an actor, confirmed he recently recorded an episode of Days of Our Lives himself, so he knows that it wouldn’t have been possible for Joey.

He said: “Joey Tribbiani could not have been on Days of Our Lives. I know this because I shot an episode back in April, and what I learnt debunks this entire thing.

“After I booked Days of Our Lives and I’m walking through the soundstage and taking it all in, it dawned on me. Do they have a studio in New York, or is Days of Our Lives specifically shot in Burbank [California]? As I’m getting my makeup done, I asked the makeup artist something. I said, ‘Did they shoot this in New York?’ and she says, ‘No, why?’

“I said, ‘So there’s no way that Joey Tribbiani could have ever played Dr Drake Ramoray, because he would have to fly from New York to California and back – 10 hours of flying every day – just to make it to Central Perk in time for coffee’.

“Everybody in the makeup room starts laughing, and [the makeup artist] goes, ‘I’ve worked on this show for 12 years and I have never thought about that once’.”

Justin went on to say that Friends itself was filmed at Warner Bros. in Los Angeles, which is just a few streets away from the Burbank studio where Days of Our Lives is shot. So while it might make sense for Joey to walk to the other studio, it doesn’t quite translate when Friends is supposed to be set in New York.

Commenters on Justin’s video were equally baffled by the revelation. Many said they had no idea Days of Our Lives was even a real show, while others pointed out further discrepancies between the sitcom and real life.

One person said: “Not me thinking Days of Our Lives was a made up show for Friends.”

Another added: “Wait, Days of Our Lives is a real show?”

With the first storm of the season set to hit the UK in the coming weeks, we”ve found an affordable and simple way to reinforce and repair your fence if it gets damaged in the rough weather

Ahead of the first storm of the winter months, Amazon has slashed the price of an “extremely sturdy and hard-wearing” fence repair kit.

The kit, which is available in seven different sizes (with prices varying depending on kit choice), is engineered to be straightforward to use.

According to the Amazon description, users can “simply drive the ground spike into the ground using a hammer or mallet, providing a quick and hassle-free solution for repairing tilted or broken wood fence posts”.

The kit, which is crafted from “u-shaped steel”, is “suitable for various fence post sizes and types” and perfect for fixing a leaning or damaged fence post, delivering robust support to prevent tilting, reports Yorkshire Live.

Although the Anmas Power Heavy Duty Steel Fence Post Repair Stakes only have 108 reviews so far, customers have been thoroughly impressed by them.

One person said, ” My 6-foot fence nearly blew over with the strong winds a couple of months ago. I thought I would have to replace some of the fence. I bought these to try first. It took 15 minutes to fix the posts, and it feels solid. Excellent. I will probably buy a few more just to secure other posts in the future.”

A second added: “Brilliant, I spent half an hour and repaired a 35-year-old fence. I think it’s stronger now than when I built it.”

Meanwhile, one chuffed customer raved: “I was sceptical at first, but am so pleased I bought these. I thought the posts were past redemption, but I reckon we’ll get another 15 years out of them! Extremely sturdy and hard wearing.”

While most punters were thrilled with their purchase, a few had minor gripes. One such buyer pointed out: “The fence post repair kit arrived without the drill bit and driver bit for installation.”

Another person chimed in: “Very easy to use, just need a big hammer.”
