Fans are divided after seeing the first trailer for the Emerald Fennell film, which stars Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi in the upcoming Wuthering Heights adaptation.
Wuthering Heights fans were gobsmacked after watching the first trailer for Emerald Fennell’s racy adaptation of the classic. The movie already divided fans with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi being cast as the leads of the updated version of the Emily Brontë novel.
Margot takes on the role of Catherine Earnshaw while Euphoria star Jacob transforms into Heathcliff. Saltburn director Emerald’s version won’t be faithful to the original novel, much to the disappointment of many. Just last month, test screenings proved to be disastrous as some were disgusted by the raunchy scenes.
Many people also criticized the first trailer, calling it “erotic softcore porn.”

One user said on X/Twitter: “Is Wuthering Heights about BDSM and fingering a fish? First in my generation to see a scene like that,” while another posted: “Listen, I’m no puritan and I’m into horror.
We are completely altering the tone andamp; theme of the novel, so it’s not the hypersexuality that makes me side-eye this, it’s just that it takes a f**k to go nuts. Why? She might make a unique feature film, but…
One user wrote, “I don’t even like the book, and the erotic retelling of Wuthering Heights makes me feel spooked.
Viewers were divided by the first re-telling trailer.
One shocked user wrote, “They turned wuthering heights into soft porn, “while another posted, “I’m so fucking mad at that f**ka** wuthering heights adaptation if you want to do a stupid f**king pseudo-plot and do whatever you want to leave literature alone.
Fans of the trailer saw two particularly memorable moments, one in which Robbie’s fingers are in Elordi’s mouth and the other in which a person’s finger slides into the mouth of a dead fish.
The movie was labeled as “tonally abrasive” and “sexually explicit” after a test screening. A public hanging is the first scene in the film, but this is by far the most egregious scene in the opening sequel.
The male appears to ejaculate in the middle of the execution, causing a frantic commotion in the unaware crowd, which eventually turns into an orgiastic mess with a nun fondling the corpse’s apparent erection.
The sexual drive theme is present throughout the production, with scenes featuring “clinical masturbation” and horse-ride bonding, but the plot and emotions are less conventional than those who are familiar with Bront’s work.
On February 14, 2026, Wuthering Heights will be available in UK theaters.

Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan grabbed a transgender woman’s phone and threw it across a road while calling her “a groomer”, “a disgusting incel” and a “sissy-porn watching scumbag”, a court heard.
The five-time Bafta award winner, 57, is on trial at Westminster Magistrates Court accused of harassing transgender woman Sophia Brooks, 18, and causing criminal damage to her phone costing £369.
The criminal damage charge relates to an alleged incident at a festival, named Battle of Ideas, on October 19, last year. The harassment charges relate to messages posted online by Linehan between October 11 and October 27 last year.
Prosecutor Julia Faure Walker told Westminster Magistrates Court Linehan posted messages about the victim on social media “relentlessly” and added: “These posts were not merely irritating or annoying, but oppressive and unacceptable.
“The purpose of these posts, say the prosecution, was not merely to relay events, to express political opinion, to criticise, to help identify perpetrators or to solve any crime. Rather they were verbally abusive and vindictive and reflected Mr Linehan’s deep disliking of Ms Brooks. These posts were not provoked by Ms Brooks. The posts were unsolicited.”

Ms Faure Walker added: “It is not in dispute the defendant sent the relevant social media posts. It is not in dispute that the defendant seized and threw the phone of Ms Brooks.”
The prosecution outlined the alleged criminal damage incident involving the phone, which they said occurred after Ms Brooks approached Linehan while filming and asked her why he had previously accused her of being “a domestic terrorist” in an online post.
They claim that he responded: “Go away groomer, go away you disgusting incel” and called her “a sissy-porn watching scumbag”.
Ms Walker, who identifies as bisexual, was aged 17 at the time. Ms Faure Walker added: “She did not pose any physical threat to him and was not breaking the law.
“He did not answer the question. He deliberately whacked the phone out of Ms Brooks hand. This caused damage to the phone.”
Linehan was at Westminster Magistrates Court today
She added Linehan later posted a message online saying he was “proud” of what he had done. Ms Faure Walker also read a number of messages Linehan posted online about the victim, including: “Does anyone know this man?”.
He also described her as “a deeply disturbed sociopath” and accused her of having some involvement in an alleged homophobic attack in which thousands of insects were released at an LGBT Alliance event at the Queen Elizabeth Conference Centre in Westminster, which Ms Walker denies any involvement in.
The court heard Linehan also referred to her as a “sociopathic student” and referred to her as “Tarquin” – which the prosecution said was his derogatory term for her and he Linehan admitted was in relation to her “poshness”.
He also allegedly retweeted a social media post calling her a “deeply disturbed sociopath” and posted others calling her “absolute psycho” and “psycho posh kid”.
Linehan also accused his alleged victim of carrying out “domestic terrorism”. Linehan, who was wearing dark blue chinos, an open collared white shirt and a grey blazer, today entered the dock smiling at supporters in the public gallery. After sitting down he put on a pair of glasses and began reading a pile of documents.
He was later handed a court issued hearing aid in order to help him listen to proceedings from behind the thick glass of the dock and spoke to confirm his name, age and address.
At one point, the prosecution opening had to be halted when the device’s battery ran out. Linehan was subsequently allowed to leave the dock and sit inside the main court.
Linehan’s trial at Westminster Magistrates Court is scheduled to last two days.
It comes just two days after he was arrested on unrelated matters after landing at Heathrow on a flight from Arizona on Monday. Linehan was arrested and questioned by police over three “joke” tweets he made about trans people.
Olympic swimmer Sharron Davies was spotted outside Westminster Magistrates Court this morning, as were a number of supporters, including one holding a sign saying “Down with this sort of thing” in reference to a catchphrase from his hit TV show Father Ted.
As well as Father Ted, Mr Linehan, who was born in Dublin and survived cancer in 2018, also wrote hit TV shows The IT Crowd and Black Books.
He won a lifetime achievement award and penned a memoir, Tough Crowd: How I Made and Lost a Career in Comedy, which was published in October 2023 and reached number ten on the Sunday Times bestseller list.
But he has become best known as a vocal critic of the trans-rights movement in recent years and has previously claimed that his career and marriage have been destroyed over his gender-critical views.
Sophia Walker also took to the stand to give evidence against Linehan, who sat directly across from her inside the court.
Ms Walker, who said she began using the name Sophia “in about 2021, 2022” said Linehan’s online messages caused her to feel “alarm and distress”.
She added: “I was being branded a sociopath by a relatively famous person who had more than 500,000 followers, any of which could see his posts and cause great harm to me.”
She said she had never used the name Tarquin and it is not her birth name. She said she understands it to be a name Linehan uses to relate to her poshness.
Ms Walker said she attended the Battle of Ideas conference as a guest having bought a ticket.
She alleged an activist linked to the LGBT Alliance, stormed up to her after she saw her taking photos of panellists at the event.
Ms Walker said: “She stormed up to me with, I believe, a brochure from the event in an attempt to obscure my camera.
“About five or six people were filming me afterwards. She stormed up to me twice. One of them is videoed.” Ms Walker said she was subsequently escorted out of the event, at Church House in Westminster, by security.
“About 20 minutes later Mr Linehan crossed the street with his phone recording. He called me a groomer and asked me how many kids I’d groomed.”
Asked if she said anything to him before that, she said: “No”.
Ms Walker added: “He then walked into the Battle of Ideas conference. He called me an incel and stormed off. Asked what she believes incel to mean, she said “involuntarily celibate”.
Asked what gender the term is aimed at, she said: “male”.
Asked what she understood that term to mean, she replied: “Someone who does not have the privilege of having sexual intercourse.”
Later that evening Ms Walker said she saw Linehan outside the event.
“I asked him why he thought it was acceptable to call teenagers domestic terrorists online.
Asked if he gave any explanation, she said “no”.
“I believe he called me a groomer and told me to go away.”
Ms Walker said she felt “distressed” as she added: “I’m not a groomer”.
Asked what she understands a groomer to be, she said: “Somebody who takes advantage of the naivety of children to do things like sexual favours and other exploitation.
Ms Walker said she asked him why he called her a groomer, but added that he did not tell her.
She added: “I believe he called me a groomer again. I believe he also called me a sissy-porn watching scumbag.”
Asked about the term, she said: “Sissy porn is a type of genre of porn where cis-gendered makes cross dress.
Asked if she had ever expressed any interest in the genre, she replied: “No”.
She admitted replying: “You’re the incel, you’re divorced”.
She added: “He responded with more insults. He looked angry.
Asked if she posed any physical threat to Linehan, Ms Brooks said: “I don’t believe so”.
She added: “He grabbed my hand and forcefully gripped my phone out of it. He put my phone behind his back and refused to give it to me.
“I demanded he give me my phone back and after he realised I wouldn’t relent he said: ‘Go and get your f******* phone’ and threw it into the road.”

Taylor Swift re-wears iconic ‘T’ thigh chain as she leads autumn jewellery trend(Image: Instagram @brittanylynne)
Taylor Swift had everyone talking earlier this year when she donned a glitzy red-gem chain with a ‘T’ initial on her thigh at the Grammys. It posed the question as to whether the ‘T’ is for Taylor or Travis, with her seemingly confirming it was for beau Travis Kelce after repurposing the chain into a necklace the following week at Travis’ football match.
Naturally, as with everything Taylor Swift does, this sparked a new trend of initial and personalised jewellery. We’ve seen more celebrities follow in suit, including Sabrina Carpenter, Michelle Keegan, and even royalty with Princess Kate.
And Taylor has re-worn her ‘T’ necklace yet again to celebrate her fellow WAG, Brittany Mahomes’s birthday.
Of course, this trend isn’t exactly new, but it seems to be more popular than ever. And we predict this trend is only going to take off further this autumn, especially with Taylor’s seal of approval and the imminent release of her new album.

Talking about Taylor re-purposing her initial body chain, PRYA’s in-house Style Director, Arwa Hassan, says: “With this necklace adaptation, we’re seeing statement pieces evolve from special occasions to everyday fashion.
Taylor Swift doesn’t follow trends, she sets them. Her inventive approach inspires fans to experiment, making body chains and initial pendants a core part of meaningful, personalised fashion.”
Taylor’s ruby-studded chain is a custom piece from Lorraine Schwartz, and therefore not available for fans to purchase. However, we’ve rounded up a few of our current favourite initial jewellery pieces to shop right now.

In 2021, Demi Jones was first identified with thyroid cancer at just 22 years old.

Demi Jones has told fans she feels ‘like a walking zombie’ after an ‘awful mistake’ with her medication. The former Love Islander, 27, mentioned she forgot to reorder her repeat prescription for Levothyroxine, a crucial medication often used to support patients after thyroid cancer treatment.
Demi’s admission comes just four years after doctors found a cancerous lump in her neck back in 2021. Fortunately, after two major surgeries and radioiodine therapy, she was given the all-clear that same year in December.
Even still, the reality star continues to speak out about her health journey and said the medication ordeal had left her quite ‘tearful’. “Thyroid girlies – I’ve made an awful mistake,” Demi wrote on her Instagram Story.

Before I ran out, I forgot to order my levothyroxine. I’ve been waiting for 10 days without any tablets and will finally have them delivered to my pharmacy. I’m so wiped out and teary that I can’t walk.
To avoid being like me, please order your repeat prescription right away. For the first time in four years since I’ve had cancer, I’ve run out of pills completely, and I’m never going to forget.
Demi later revealed that she had been flooded with kind and helpful messages from fans online despite the stressful situation. Demi had no idea about getting emergency Levothyroxine in many of these because many of them made it clear that you can get it in these dire circumstances.
In a separate Story, she continued: “Omg thank you for all your messages guys! I had no idea you can get emergency Levothyroxine if you completely run out and it’s urgent through NHS, so thank you!

I’ve had a few near misses with it over the past four years, but I wish they could have prescribed more than three months in a row because I think it all passes so quickly. especially if the medication is a daily lifetime. Although I’ll always be sure to stay up to date going forward, it’s always great to know and share! I’m so grateful.
After initially denying that the lump on her neck was anything serious, Demi was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the age of 22. After online users and online strangers complained that something seemed odd, she only made the decision to see a doctor.
Before removing some fluid from the lump, the doctors first performed an ultrasound and a blood test. She was urged to go for surgery “almost immediately” two weeks later and called back.

“A couple of weeks later, the doctor called me in,” she said in a previous interview, according to the Mirror. “As soon as they said the word ‘cancer’, I just went into shock. So, I then had to go back in for a second surgery where they removed the rest of my thyroid.”
Demi’s cancer battle has passed away, but the actress said she still takes pride in wearing her scar and is still trying to raise awareness of the condition.
She also urged people to contact their doctors if they believe they have thyroid cancer symptoms.
Thyroid cancer potential signs
The NHS offers a wealth of information regarding thyroid cancer online. It states that common symptoms may include:
difficult breathing or swallowing
a loud voice
A lump in the lower, frontal region of the neck – it typically feels uncomfortable and gradually grows.
Pain in the neck’s front and the sensation of something pressing against it
Red face/flushing
Diarrhoea or softer poos
Losing weight
persistent coughing
A sore throat
Continue reading the article.
However, current advice cautions that “These symptoms are very common and can be brought on by a variety of conditions.” Doing so does not unquestionably indicate thyroid cancer. However, having them checked by a general practitioner is crucial.
Finding them early may make it easier to treat them because they may be caused by cancer.
When she was lured to a fake modeling job in Milan, injected with ketamine, and bundled into a suitcase, Chloe Ayling’s life took a terrifying turn in 2017, but she was met with skepticism after sharing her account.

After sharing harrowing details of her abduction ordeal, a model underwent years of public skepticism and has since established herself in Snowdonia.
Chloe Ayling, 28, was heading to what she thought was a real modelling assignment in Milan in 2017 when she was injected with ketamine, bundled into a suitcase and left chained to furniture in a remote farmhouse. She was told she’d be auctioned on the dark web unless a ransom was paid.
Her captor, Łukasz Herba, was later convicted and sentenced to 16 years and nine months in prison. But despite sharing details of the horrific ordeal, Chloe was faced with public skepticism after some questioned whether she was complicit in the kidnap and it was all an elaborate publicity stunt.

Pictures of Chloe from Coulsdon, south London, lying unconscious in skimpy clothing were sent to her manager, along with a demand for £260,000.
She would be sold as a sex slave if the ransom wasn’t paid in a week. When her “buyers” were sick of her, she was also warned that she ran the risk of getting fed to tigers.
Although she was eventually released, Chloe was left devastated by accusations she had made up the entire story. She has since found solace in the mountains and lakes of the North Wales wilderness where she can enjoy horse-riding with barely a soul around, according to MailOnline.
Chloe was in the public eye for eight-years following the kidnapping, even appearing on Celebrity Big Brother in 2018 where she struck up a romance with Jermaine Pennant, who she later discovered was married.
This month Chloe had her say on a BBC documentary ‘Chloe Ayling: My Unbelievable Kidnapping’ and said her undiagnosed condition of autism is partly responsible for her unusual reaction.

Following the BBC dramatization of the story, Kidnapped, in 2024, the series was produced.
She arrived more than a year ago, and she seems to be quite a solitary figure when she’s up here, according to one of Chloe’s new neighbors.
She is quite reserved, polite, and respectful. Many residents of this area spend their summers there before moving out for the winter. Maybe this is just a summer vacation spot for her, or if she already has somewhere else in England.
She’s quite distinctive, so people recognized her quickly, but as far as I’m aware, no one has ever questioned her about how awful she must have been before.
She describes North Wales as a place of refuge, claiming that she enjoys horseback riding in the hills with little public interest and is drawn to its remote beauty.
“I started visiting North Wales a few years ago. In the BBC documentary, she remarked, “I just fell in love with it.”
Chloe has since chosen to leave the capital in pursuit of something more serene(Image: Instagram)
Her relocation also makes her less vulnerable to the public’s scrutiny that predated her return to the UK. Chloe’s innocence sparked suspicion after her ordeal, and some critics questioned why she didn’t cry or appear emotional, and the relentless online abuse made healing harder.

When asked why she chose Snowdonia, she laughed and said, “I’m here because it’s so beautiful, but I like that no one knows where I live.”
