Police are investigating death threats aimed at I’m A Celebrity star Dean McCullough.

The Radio 1 presenter has been inundated with terrifying messages from online trolls since his appearance on the ITV show, leaving him fearing for his safety.

Speaking to the Daily Star Sunday, 33-year-old Dean revealed: “When I came out of the jungle, I started getting so many death threats. People tell me they wish I’d got AIDS and died or that if they see me in the street they’re going to batter me.

“People were saying they were to come to my work at the BBC and my house. It hurt. It was really heavy stuff.”

A panicked Dean reported the threats to Greater Manchester Police, who have now launched an investigation and sought assistance from other forces.

Dean explained:” The police came to my house and took a statement and now the details have been passed to police forces across the UK. They are investigating. They’ve already managed to identify some of the people who sent me death threats.

“There are 35 different accounts that were classed as having malicious contact and 12 of them were aggravated malicious contact, which is basically a death threat. They’re being identified”.

The abuse has left Dean feeling devastated. He confessed: “I had an absolute ball when I was in the jungle, so to come out and have all of that joy taken away from me was such a shame. I was really shocked. I couldn’t believe people would write those things.

” When you’re feeling vulnerable and you get a nasty comment, it can really knock you for six. I had to hide for a bit. I spent a few months under my duvet. It was such a struggle to get up.

“These people got annoyed by me living my best life on a TV show. It’s such a shame that they send me abuse”.

Defiant Dean is now determined to have the last laugh. The star continues to present his weekday afternoon show on Radio 1 and on Saturday, he performed a DJ set at Manchester Pride.

He declared: “I’m not going anywhere. I’m not going to change. I’m not going to dim my light just to please the trolls who say they want me to kill myself. I am going to continue being out and proud in my day to day life”.

This week, Sam Thompson, his sister Louise Thompson, her partner Ryan Libbey, and their son Leo took off together. Some of the photos were posted on social media today.

Reality TV star Sam Thompson showed off his physique on a family holiday this week. The former Made in Chelsea cast member has joined his sister Louise Thompson, her fiancé Ryan Libbey and their son Leo on their latest trip abroad.

The group is said to have traveled to Spain as a result of the summer vacation, which Sam, 33, and Louise, 35, have shared. He also posted a number of photos of his arrival at the beach with his loved ones.

The photos were shared on Instagram this afternoon. One showed Sam and personal trainer Ryan, 35, stood beside each other at a resort. The pair were both seen shirtless as they soaked up the sun on the vacation together.

Sam was spotted sipping on a beverage while sporting a pair of dark pants, sunglasses, and baseball cap. Ryan, his future brother-in-law, held a t-shirt in one of his hands while choosing blue swimming trunks and a baseball cap.

Leo, three, and his nephew, who is three, were seen using Duplo blocks to build a tower on a table at the beach in another photo shared by Sam. The radio host joked in the post’s title, “A tower has been made,” along with a laughing emoji.

As his sister Louise watched their son play, she saw her sister, Leo, wearing a white t-shirt and dark sunglasses. On the table where the family was sat together, food plates were visible elsewhere.

Sam later shared a photo of himself greeting a cat while exploring the vacation spot. As he petted the feline, he was spotted crouched down in the street and captioned the post, “I’ll always find a cat.”

While a photo of Sam and Ryan sat together at a table for the duration of their meal was shared with fans on the platform today. In an outdoor seating area, the pals, both wearing black vests, were seen grinning.

Louise expressed her holiday excitement this morning. Stevie Nicks’ Edge of Seventeen is being played in Stevie Nicks’ video for the family as they travel in a car. In the caption, Louise talked about playing music while traveling.

Feel as though you’re in the GTA, she told her followers. When I’m driving at night while loud music and bright lights make me feel like I’m playing a computer game. Bring on this trip, Louise declared in the caption of the post on the platform.

Sam lives next door to Louise and her family in London. Ryan recently told the Mirror that he has grown close to his future brother-in-law, with him telling us that the two pals “hang out all the time,” including without Louise.

Ryan revealed that he is now planning his wedding to Louise after discussing their relationship. The couple tied the knot seven years ago in 2018, but it is said that after welcoming their son Leo in 2021, they postponed the wedding.

Ryan stated in the interview with us that he and his wife have “registered our intentions to marry.” The procedure has officially begun. Either a small wedding and party at the town hall or an international event is still in the making.

Ryan made a joke about Sam being Sam’s best friend when he was asked if he would. Then, he mentioned Louise’s brother: “We’re very close now. We live next to each other, communicate frequently, even just to talk about life together.

Liam Gallagher makes unprecedented offer to brother Noel amid Oasis reunion success

The feud between brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher appears to be well and truly over amid the ongoing Oasis Live ‘ 25 Tour – with the younger sibling making a surprise offer to his big brother

Liam Gallagher has extended an unexpected offer to his brother Noel – after the ended more than a decade of feuding to reunite Oasis last year. The brothers famously fell out in 2009 and bitterly took shots at each other in the press, interviews and online over the following years.

Despite insisting they would never perform together again, hell apparently froze over in 2024 as the Gallagher’s announced they had buried the hatchet in order to reform Oasis and hit the road in their first world tour since their explosive fallout 15 years prior. Said tour, the inventively named Oasis Live ’25 Tour, kicked off at the beginning of July and to call it a success would be an understatement.

And things are going so well that 52-year-old Liam seems to be in charitable spirit – with a report suggesting he has invited older brother Noel, 58, to join him for Christmas. Proud mum Peggy, 82 – who watched her boys perform in Dublin earlier this month – is also expected to join the family reunion.

A source told The Sun: “Liam wants to make Christmas extra special this year following their hugely-successful tour. He is hoping to get all the family together as they take a well-earned rest.

“Liam and Noel have loved seeing their own kids spend time together during their tour and would love to get everyone around the dinner table.” The Mirror has contacted representatives of Liam and Noel for comment.

Oasis have been enjoying rave reviews and sell out gigs at their run of concerts – which have so far taken them around the UK and Ireland. On Sunday night, they will play their first North American gig by thrilling fans at the Rogers Stadium in Toronto, Canada.

While further gigs will take them to the USA, Australia, Asia, and South America. Music fans have lapped up the shows so far – which were favourably reviewed by The Mirror.

Showbiz Editor Mark Jefferies gave a glowing review when Oasis played homecoming gigs at Heaton Park in Manchester- admitting he was blown away by the performance.

He recounted:” On Saturday night at the end of the show the brothers hugged and then Noel pointed over to his brother in a clear show of admiration and to tell the crowd just how much he loved Liam’s performance. It was a shocking sight, the total opposite of their old rows on stage. “

Having managed to attend three of the first four gigs of the Oasis tour by that point, Mark added:” Would I like more stage interaction? Of course. And some of the lines on stage are now pre-planned which doesn’t feel very Oasis. But the Gallaghers have grown up, and like their mature fans who can only manage to jump up and down for the odd song in three these days, this style of set is what they need to make things work. “

While Daniel Bird attended the opening night at the Manchester venue, and described the evening as” electric”.

He wrote:” Walking out at Heaton Park, you could never have imagined that there was once a feud between the two siblings. Putting on a united front, the two legends walked out to their 2000 track, F***in ‘ In The Bushes, to a crowd of 80, 000 people, with the atmosphere instantly becoming electric. “

Huge EastEnders star quits showbiz for sudden move to India to practice religion

A fan-favourite EastEnders star has reportedly decided to make the surprise move to India to pursue the Hare Krishna religion

A fan-favourite EastEnders star is reportedly quitting the showbiz industry to move to India. The son of Jade Goody and Jeff Brazier, Bobby Brazier, rose to prominence with his role as Freddie Slater in the long-running soap in 2022. The role even earned him a National Television Award.

He was a contestant on the 21st series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2023 and finished as a runner-up. He also won a National Film Award UK for his performance in Curfew. Despite his success in the showbiz world, it has been said the star decided to quit and focus on Hare Krishna, a form of Hinduism.

A source has claimed the star is planning to stay in a commune in India following his final stint as Freddie on the BBC soap.

Speaking to The Sun, they claimed: “Bobby is really excited and happy about his move to India. He’s been telling everyone about it and preaching to them about why he is devoted to Hare Krishna.

“He’s such a nice young man, his heart is in the right place, but some people are surprised that he’s walking away from his career at a time when he’s on such a high with it.”

The insider went on to claim the actor plans on being there for at least a year and might ‘pick up’ on his career when he returns. The Mirror have reached out to his reps for comment.

The 22-year-old, who joined the BBC soap in 2022, became a fan favourite on EastEnders thanks to Freddie’s dramatic storylines, including the teen discovering unsettling truths about his biological father and navigating a potential romance with Anna Knight.

In June, it was revealed Bobby would be departing from the show later this year, and the actor recently spoke publicly about what lies ahead of him once he waves goodbye to Albert Square.

At the National Film Awards, where he won a prize for his work on the new Paramount+ series Curfew, Bobby admitted that his next steps are uncertain.

He told OK! Magazine: “I don’t know, I guess that’s how it really goes and how it works in this industry. You never really know what’s next until you go for it.

“But yeah, I’d like to play a variety of different roles so I can work out what I like, what I’m good at and what I need to work on.”

While EastEnders has confirmed Bobby’s upcoming exit, soap bosses had been keen to continue working with the actor. A spokesperson for the soap previously said: “We can confirm that Bobby Brazier will be leaving EastEnders, and we wish him all the best for the future.”
