Former Love Island star Tommy Fury is not seen in Molly-Mae Hague’s new show Behind It All as he is banned from making an appearance and even filming alongside his girlfriend

The “very valid” real reason Tommy Fury doesn’t feature in Molly-Mae Hague’s Amazon Prime reality TV series has been revealed – and it has nothing to do with the on-off couple’s relationship status.

Tommy and Molly-Mae, who met in the Love Island villa back in 2019 and share two-year-old daughter Bambi together, see their romance under the spotlight in the latest offering of the docu-series Behind It All after reuniting following a brief split last year.

However, despite the couple being very much back on, Tommy only makes his presence known via FaceTime or phone calls during the six-episode Prime Video series, which stars Molly-Mae and baby Bambi.

Audiences can tune into the final three episodes of season one on Friday but won’t catch even a fleeting glimpse of Tommy, who steers clear of filming entirely. Tommy is no stranger to cameoing in reality TV shows, previously appearing in his brother Tyson Fury’s Netflix series At Home With The Furys.

However, when it comes to Molly-Mae’s series, Tommy is AWOL. The reason for Tommy’s on-screen absence is reportedly due to the boxer’s contractual agreement with the BBC who hold the exclusive rights to his forthcoming documentary Tommy: The Good. The Bad. The Fury.

This arrangement means Tommy is unable to film for streaming platform Prime Video as his series, being recorded for BBC Three and iPlayer, pledges to track his life as he battles his issues with alcohol and backlash from his split with Molly.

An insider disclosed that although Tommy would have preferred to feature in Molly’s series, he simply couldn’t due to his work obligations elsewhere. “There’s a very valid reason why Tommy doesn’t appear on Molly’s series,” the source told the Daily Mail.

“He isn’t able to film a scene or even show his face because of his contract with the BBC. Tommy is involved with his own documentary, The Good. The Bad. The Fury, and the BBC has the exclusive rights to his story.”

On Wednesday, Tommy said he is “happy mentally” following what he called the worst year of his life, which included his break-up with his fiancée Molly-Mae and hand surgery. On his birthday, the boxer told ITV’s Good Morning Britain that he had “always thought, breathed boxing”, until “all of a sudden, you’re sat in hospital bed”.

“You fall into a little bit of a dark place,” he added. “I couldn’t get out of bed in the morning, do what I wanted to do and live and do what makes me happy.”

He said that had “consequences”, but “2024 was worst year of my life, and this year is going to be the best year of my life, and it starts on Friday”, when he fights Bosnian Kenan Hanjalic. This marks his first bout since 2023, when he defeated YouTube personality KSI.

“I’m happy mentally now,” he added. “(You’ve) got to go through these challenges in life, no one’s life’s hard. Everyone’s got a hard life. So at the end of the day, it’s all about I come through this, and I’ve come through, I’m on the other side, and I’m back doing what I do best.”

He also said that he had spoken to his two-year-old daughter on his birthday just before going on air. “It is my birthday today, 26, I’m on the wrong side of 20,” he said. “It don’t really feel like a birthday, because I’ve got a job to do on Friday, but all the celebrations will begin after Friday night, once we bring home that win.”

A man who drove his home into the gates of Jennifer Aniston’s Californian mansion has been charged with vandalism and stalking, it has been confirmed

Jennifer Aniston’s alleged stalker has been charged with vandalism after crashing his car into the gates of her home. Jimmy Wayne Carwyle, 48, of New Albany, Mississippi, is accused of repeatedly sending the actress voicemails, emails and social media messages since March 2023. He is also facing accusations of aggravating circumstances of the threat of great bodily harm.

Prosecutors said that on Monday, he drove his Chrysler PT Cruiser into the gates of her home in the Bel Air area of Los Angeles. A security guard stopped the man, 48, on Jennifer’s driveway before he was arrested by the Los Angeles Police Department.

It was confirmed on Thursday that he has been charged with felony stalking and vandalism. However, a judge ordered that he must go through a mental health court to determine whether he is competent to face the charges.

He appeared shirtless and wrapped in a blanket when he appeared behind glass at a courtroom in Los Angeles. He didn’t speak during the hearing, and his attorney entered a not guilty plea on his behalf. Judge Keith L. Schwartz doubted whether Carwyle would understand him when a prosecutor requested that the defendant, who will remain in jail, be ordered not to get near Aniston.

Carwyle’s lawyer, Deputy Public Defender Toral Malik, said: “I don’t believe him staying away from Ms. Aniston will be an issue at this time.” But at a prosecutor’s insistence, Schwartz issued the order anyway. “You are not to have any contact with Jennifer Aniston under any conditions,” the judge said.

Authorities say Aniston was home when Carwyle crashed his Chrysler PT Cruiser through the gate of her home in the wealthy neighbourhood, causing major damage, prosecutors said. A security guard stopped him in her driveway before police arrived and arrested him.

However, there were no reports of anybody being injured following the incident. Jennifer’s attorney, who attended the hearing on her behalf, as well as other representatives of the Friends actress, haven’t responded to the incident.

Carwyle also faces an aggravating circumstance of the threat of great bodily harm. If convicted, he could be sentenced up to three years in prison. District Attorney, Nathan Hochman commented: “Stalking is a crime that can quickly escalate from harassment to dangerous, violent actions.

“My office is committed to aggressively prosecuting those who stalk and terrorise others.” It’s believed that the police department had been “reviewing social media posts” made by the defendant. It’s claimed that a “Facebook page with several bizarre and rambling posts” had been found under his name.

The Facebook page appearing under his name makes several references to the Friends star, with one post disturbingly referring to Aniston as his “bride.” Five posts also contain her full name. In one of the disturbing posts, the account with the same name as the intruder says they are looking forward to “finally get to see” Aniston.

The post reads: “Christ Jimmy Wayne Carwyle & Emanuel Jennifer Joanna Aniston Carwyle, HIS LOVE AND INNERMOST BEING WAS US, TWO BEING ONE LIFE, ONE BEING, ONE FLESH, THROUGHOUT LIFE FIXING TO FINALLY GET TO SEE YOU!” However, it has not been confirmed by police if this profile is the same as the man charged following the incident, or another Jimmy Wayne Carwyle.

According to Architectural Digest, Aniston bought the midcentury mansion on a 3.4-acre lot for about $21 million in 2012.

Director Lorcan Finnegan’s The Surfer, starring Nicolas Cage at his crazy best, is now in cinemas

Nicolas Cage delivered a show-stopping improvised singing performance in his latest head-spinning thriller, which has just hit the big screens.

The intense drama, The Surfer, directed by Lorcan Finnegan, premieres today (Friday, 9th May) and features Cage as an unnamed protagonist who heads back to his Australian roots to reclaim his childhood abode.

In the movie, Cage’s character and his son (portrayed by Finn Little) face off against a hostile local crew, headed by Scally (Julian McMahon), who block their access to the surf.

Forced to bide his time in his car while waiting for news from his estate agent, Cage’s surfer spirals into turmoil as Scally and his gang mercilessly harass him.

During a pivotal moment of crisis for the surfer, Cage’s talent for ad-libbing came to the fore, reports the Express.

In an interview with Express Online, director Finnegan shared: “In the script process he just had tweaks to his dialogue, how he’d like to say certain things or reverse information around or delete bits. So that was all fine.

“Once we got shooting, in terms of improvisation… he’s very prepared.

“Once we got on set, Nic never needed his script ever. He knew all his dialogue. Which allowed room for trying different things.”

Cage, renowned for his unwavering commitment to his craft, has enjoyed a renaissance with a string of similarly intense and creative thrillers.

Over the past decade, he has consistently pushed his limits in films such as Mandy, Color Out of Space, Pig, and Longlegs.

However, The Surfer propels the star into uncharted territory of chaos with Finnegan’s Franz Kafka-inspired portrayal of a descent into savagery and toxic masculinity fuelled by substances and relentless sunshine.

The director continued: “There’s a scene where he’s walking around the car park with no shoes on, blood on his foot and totally dehydrated and delirious.

“I think in the script it said he’s asking people, ‘Have you seen my broker?’ and mumbling incoherently and that was it.

“Once we were shooting it we shot on an 8mm lens, it was very wide, you could see everything. All the crew and everything had to hide inside the cars in the car park.”

Recalling Cage’s spontaneous creativity, Finnegan added: “And he just went off on one! Talking about wanting to make his wife dinner on the balcony and cook her clams with pasta.

“And that went on for longer than what’s in the movie. He started singing Jump Around by House of Pain and started jumping around with the three young kids.

“That didn’t make the cut, but it was great. It will be on the Blu-Ray bonus stuff.”

Regrettably, film enthusiasts won’t get to witness Cage’s rendition of the classic ’90s track, but they can look forward to numerous other mind-bending moments in this one-of-a-kind thriller.

The Doctor Who and The Sweeney star and Star Wars voiceover performer died at the age of 80 and has been fondly remembered by one actress in a touching tribute

Carry On legend actor Julian Holloway has left £25,000 to his model daughter Sophie Dahl, his will has revealed. The TV icon and voice-over artist, who died the age of 80 in February, had an estate worth nearly half a million pounds, with the most of it going to his stepson Joel Gregory.

The late actor’s fortune totalled £493,917 before final expenses, which brought it down to £480,891. His final wishes included having his ashes scattered at either Lord’s Cricket Ground or Sudbrooke Park Golf Club.

While the actor left both his daughter Sophie and stepdaughter Kate Gregory with £25,000 each, it was stepson Joel who inherited the bulk of his assets and was named executor of the will. Holloway, who lived in Poole in Dorset at the time of his death, was celebrated for his roles in eight Carry On films, such as Carry On Doctor and Carry On Camping.

Sophie Dahl – born in 1977 to Holloway and British actress Tessa Dahl – is a renowned model and author whose grandfather was famed children’s writer Roald Dahl, reports Devon Live. Actress Sarah Douglas mourned the loss of Holloway, saying at the time of his death: “I lost a dear friend yesterday and I’m so, so sad. I have known Julian Holloway since the early 70’s and he has been the best of friends to me all these years.

“Julian was the wittiest of men and we would laugh and laugh. He was a friend through thick and thin, first in London then LA then back home again. He was also the associate producer of The Brute (1977) but I had first met him professionally in 1973 on a BBC drama called ‘Secrets’. There will be lots written about him and all his wonderful work but right now he is just a dear and sorely missed friend.”

The Carry On stalwart, who also graced screens with roles in The Sweeney, Doctor Who, and Beverly Hills 90210, was born in Watlington, Oxfordshire, in 1944 to the actor and singer Stanley Holloway and his wife, Violet. Finding love in the acting world, he tied the knot twice, with Zena Walker and later Debbie Wheeler.
