Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay has reflected on his wild ride to fame, just days after his nervous meeting with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue.
The 26-year-old, whose ‘Battle of Hastings haircut’ has become the look of Summer 2025, appeared bewildered as he took to Instagram today to ask his fans, ‘What just happened?’
Jack, from Newcastle, has signed up to for management, released his own dance track, partied with celebrity DJs and flown on a private jet with his pals in the space of a few days. It’s hard to believe that, just a few weeks ago, Jack was just an ordinary Geordie lad preparing for a fun-filled holiday on the White Isle with his pals.
For anyone who has been living under a rock, Jack skyrocketed to fame earlier this month after images of him partying the night away in Ibiza went viral. He’s since taken every opportunity to enjoy what has been the ultimate summer of a lifetime. Now, Jack has taken to Instagram stories to share his thoughts on the trip that sparked his meteoric rise.

Sharing a random snap of a perfectly trimmed tree, a hilarious nod to his incredible bowl cut, Jack mused: “Two weeks ago, I went on a lads’ holiday and someone took a video of me on the Dance Floor. Was it a dream? What just happened?”

This comes just days after Jack met up with adult model Bonnie Blue on the party island, in what appeared to be a very awkward interaction.
A clip shows Jack with his arm around Bonnie while facing away from her. They can also be seen making awkward conversation while standing fairly far apart.
In a since-deleted video, Bonnie revealed: “It was my shortest video yet. I was shocked how nervous he was.”

Jack’s newfound fanbase had previously warned him off meeting with Bonnie after she left a seemingly suggestive comment on one of his Instagram posts. The post in question, which shows Jack bopping along in a car with his his mates, is captioned “The final boss can’t be slayed… your misses on the other hand? Her levels been completed.”
Former OnlyFans star Bonnie, who is known for using ragebait as a marketing strategy, commented a simple eyes emoji beneath the vid, sparking words of caution from Jack’s followers.
Divisive Bonnie has become notorious for taking part in extreme sex stunts, which have previously included sleeping with 1,057 men in the space of just 12 hours. In recent months, her troubling antics have become increasingly shocking, to the point where OnlyFans, the site where she made a name for herself, slapped her with a permanent ban.

Things escalated in June, when the 26-year-old announced her plans to hold a human “petting zoo challenge”. This stunt would have seen Bonnie locked in a glass cage, inviting strangers to come and do “whatever they wanted” to her.
In Channel 4’s show ‘1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story’ – which led to hundreds of Ofcom complaints – Bonnie bragged: “I am going to be completely helpless, tied down, gagged, choked”.
OnlyFans had concerns about this stunt, which it claims was in violation of its Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service, and so issued the permanent ban.

Arsenal face an immediate test of their title credentials against a revamped Manchester United, while a new-look Liverpool launch the new Premier League season at home to Bournemouth on Friday.
Newcastle are set to be without wantaway star striker Alexander Isak for a tough trip to Aston Villa.
AFP Sports looks at the key talking points ahead of the first weekend of the 2025/2026 season.

Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres are set to make their Premier League debuts for United and Arsenal, respectively at Old Trafford after a summer that could have seen them line up for their opposition on Sunday.
Arsenal were linked with a move to Sesko for over a year before deciding to bet on Gyokeres as the man to fire them to a first Premier League title since 2004 for a fee that could rise to £66 million ($89 million).
The Gunners have finished second for the past three seasons and were lacking a clinical finisher to take that final step towards being champions
Gyokeres netted a remarkable 97 times in 102 games during two years at Sporting Lisbon, much of which came under the orders of United boss Ruben Amorim.
Instead of being reunited with the Swede, Amorim has been given the resources to overhaul his attack with the signings of Sesko, Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha at a combined cost of over £200 million
United endured their worst season since being relegated in 1974 during Amorim’s first year in charge.
The Red Devils finished 15th in the Premier League and failed to qualify for Europe after losing the Europa League final.
Both clubs desperately need a fast start and the battle between the two new number nines will go a long way to deciding the outcome.

Liverpool ‘ready’ despite revamp

Liverpool have bucked the trend by outspending their rivals with a squad overhaul fresh from winning the league.
Only once, Manchester City in 2019, have the Premier League champions been the biggest spending English club in the market since 2007.
A £260 million outlay on Florian Wirtz, Hugo Ekitike, Jeremie Frimpong and Milos Kerkez is far from over with Isak and Crystal Palace captain Marc Guehi linked with moves to Anfield.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez are among those to have been sold to raise funds, while the club are still reeling from the tragic death of Diogo Jota in a car accident last month.
The transition has exposed some teething problems in pre-season as a slick attacking force has been picked off on the counter-attack.
Arne Slot, though, is confident his side are ready as they look to defend the title for the first time since 1984.
“I think we’ve lost five to six players that played quite a lot of minutes for us last season and we brought in four new ones, so then it’s normal that there’s a little bit of adaptation,” said Slot.
“But we are definitely ready for the league to start.”
Can Villa, Newcastle rattle ‘big six’ again?

As the Premier League’s traditional “big six” of Liverpool, Manchester City, United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Tottenham have flexed their financial muscle in the transfer market, Villa and Newcastle have been squeezed out.
Constrained by the need to meet financial sustainability rules, Villa’s only major signing has been Ivorian striker Evann Guessand from Nice.
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has had to field constant questioning on the status of Isak, who sat out pre-season preparations in a bid to force through a desired move to Liverpool.
The Magpies’ attempts to replace the Swede have repeatedly fallen down with Sesko, Mbuemo, Hugo Ekitike, Liam Delap and Joao Pedro among those to opt for moves elsewhere.
But both Villa and Newcastle have consistently outperformed some of the “big six” in recent seasons and will be targeting Champions League qualification again this season.

Reflecting on the adaptation of his novel last year, Osman expressed: “I’m so proud of this book, so it is a dream to see The Thursday Murder Club in such incredible hands.
“From Chris Columbus to Amblin to Netflix, there are geniuses everywhere I look. And what a cast. I’m pinching myself.”
Desperate fans of the nostalgic punk rock band have been waiting for years to finally see them live after a short hiatus – but these ticket prices have left them feeling furious

Emo music fans were sent into a frenzy this morning as they tried to buy “extortionate” tickets to see their favourite rock band from the 2000s.
Tickets went on sale today for My Chemical Romance, as they announced two UK tour dates to celebrate 20 years of their album The Black Parade. Following their sell-out run of US shows. And, after much teasing, the band are set to play the iconic Wembley Stadium in July 2026.
Made up of frontman Gerard Way, Mikey Way, Ray Toro and Frank Lero, the American group will be bringing their nostalgic tunes and punk rock energy back to the UK for the first time since their reunion tour in 2022. Although as fans fought tooth and nail for tickets, they were left in shock at just how much it would cost them.

One person shared their disappointment, writing on X: “I am number 79,536 in the queue for MCR in London next year, and the prices that are quoted are criminal. f*** dynamic pricing.”
Another fan wrote: “Anybody else think they were gonna have enough for tickets only to be devastated by the prices?” While a third said: “I’ve never seen MCR live, and I would do anything so me and my brother could see them. Let some stroke of luck strike me down with cheaper tickets closer to the date.”

Adding to the frustration, someone shared: “Just took a look; finally getting through the queue for MCR long live the black parade tickets…. Yeah, I like MCR, but those prices are insane. GTFO!” Meanwhile, another ticket buyer commented: “I’m not okay after seeing those Wembley gig ticket prices.”
The band firmly cemented themselves within popular culture with their multi-platinum-selling album, The Black Parade, in 2006, and this tour is a celebration of its work, 20 years on. It carried strong themes of politics, fascism, death and the afterlife that resonated with fans of the genre, so much so that 20 years on, people are willing to cough up a lot of money to hear it live.

Ticketmaster claimed that shows have been priced in advance of the sale, ranging from £58.85 to £268.85 (including fees), along with a handling fee of £2.50 per order, NME reports. But it wasn’t long before the tickets were already finding themselves up on reselling sites.
A frustrated fan shared in line: “People already advertising/selling tickets for My Chemical Romance on Twitter, and I’m still in the f****** waiting room, I hate buying concert tickets man, there’s got to be a better way.” Meanwhile, another fan added: “Not people selling My Chemical Romance tickets already, and I’m still 20,000 people behind in the queue.”
It was reported by the news outlet Joe that front pitch standing tickets were priced at £141.90, with main pitch standing at £100.65 and seated tickets ranging from £58.85 to £141.90, dependent on their tiers. For fans hoping to get their money’s worth, rumours are already beginning to swirl that the band could be making a special appearance at next year’s Download Festival, in Donington, and so they could be in with the chance of seeing them reunite once again.
Former TOWIE star, Lucy Mecklenburgh, has admitted Ryan Thomas’ brothers, Scott and Adam, do one ‘weird’ thing, which fans reckon is ‘not normal’
Lucy Mecklenburgh has shocked fans(Image: thomasbrospodcast /Tiktok)
Lucy Mecklenburgh has shocked fans after revealing an “inappropriate” incident with her fiancé Ryan Thomas’ brothers. Lucy, 33, joined the Coronation Street star, 41, and twins Scott and Adam, 37, on their podcast where the mum-of-two lifted the lid on the “weird family”.
Revealing that Ryan’s brothers wolf-whistle when she’s trying on clothes, she shared: “This family’s weird. Not normal.” Looking at Scott and Adam, she continued: “The other day you [were] filming TikToks at ours and I was trying to try on clothes for holiday and every time I came out in an outfit, they were both wolf-whistling me. This is so inappropriate.”
To this, Ryan laughed and admitted: “I love it though.” It comes as the former TOWIE star admitted that she and the dad-of-three sleep in separate rooms.

In hysterics after Lucy’s bombshell, reality star Scott, who quit Love Island All Stars earlier this year, joked: “Me and Adam were like ‘oh, I like that one.’” Lucy then added: “Basically the only tight dress I came out in they were wolf-whistling me.”
Still chuckling, Ryan shared: “They were sat there like ‘she’s fit you know’.” Meanwhile, happily married dad-of-two Adam joked: “Scott was like, ‘we’re gonna come round here more often’.”

Responding to the podcast, which has racked up 200,000 views on TikTok, some fans thought the Thomas brother’s behaviour was weird, as one posted: “Not normal.” Meanwhile, another mused: “I think Scott fancies Lucy.”

However, others thought it was just “family banter”, as another replied: “Love this family banter” as a second gushed: “I absolutely love this family.”
It comes after Lucy spilled the secrets about her sleeping arrangements with Ryan. The reality star and former Coronation Street cast member, who have been in a relationship since 2017, now live in Manchester with their two children.
However, Lucy revealed the couple have separate rooms due to Ryan’s ‘horrendous snoring’. She shared: “Basically we sleep in separate bedrooms because Ryan is a nightmare sleeper.” She went on to say that her fiancé snores and talks in his sleep.

Scott teased: “He always wants a cuddle.” Lucy responded: “I mean, that is annoying.” Sharing her reasons for sleeping separately from her partner, she then shared: “Basically, Ryan snores, he sleep talks, he whacks me in his sleep.”
She added: “Just to get a good night sleep and that’s just become normal now.” Lucy later shared that she isn’t always alone though, with her saying that she sometimes has the couple’s five-year-old son in the bed with her.
Earlier on the podcast, Lucy said that she considers the couple’s sleeping arrangements to be “normal”. Speaking about spending the night apart from the dad-of-three, she said: “I’ve spoken to other people and it’s pretty normal in their house [too].”

Israel’s announcement that it will illegally build thousands of homes in a highly controversial development in the occupied West Bank – in a move Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich boasted “buries the idea of a Palestinian state” – has drawn widespread international condemnation.
Smotrich announced Thursday that he was pushing ahead with long-frozen plans for the E1 area settlement project that would connect occupied East Jerusalem with the existing illegal Israeli settlement of Maale Adumim, located several kilometres to the east.
The planned settlement, which was shelved for years amid opposition from the United States and European allies, would comprise more than 3,400 homes for Israeli settlers on Palestinian-owned land that experts say is vital for any future territorially contiguous Palestinian state in the West Bank.
Smotrich said the development was being revived as a response to plans by other countries to recognise a Palestinian state.
But the response from the rest of the world has been scathing, with governments describing the move as a blatant violation of international law that would fuel regional instability and leave the possibility of a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestine conflict in tatters. Here’s an overview of the reactions so far.
Palestine
Nabil Abu Rudeineh, spokesperson for Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, said the E1 development, in combination with the war in Gaza and escalating settler violence, would only lead to further escalation, tension and instability.
He said he held the US responsible for halting Israel’s expansionist actions, and noted that the settlement announcement came as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had spoken of his vision for a “Greater Israel”.
The Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in a statement, called for international intervention to halt the settlement plans.
It considered the E1 settlement “a continuation of the occupation’s plans to undermine the opportunity to establish the Palestinian state on its homeland, weaken its geographical and demographic unity, entrench the division of the West Bank into isolated areas surrounded by a sea of settlements, and facilitate the completion of their annexation”.
Qatar
Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs slammed the move, saying it “reaffirms Qatar’s unequivocal rejection of the Israeli occupation’s policies aimed at expanding settlements and forcibly displacing Palestinian people, measures intended to prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state”.

Saudi Arabia
Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry condemned the settlement plans “in the strongest possible terms”, saying they were a violation of international law and a serious threat to the possibility of a two-state solution.
In a statement, it called on the international community to “assume its legal and moral responsibilities, protect the Palestinian people, and fulfil their legitimate rights, including recognition of the Palestinian state”.
Jordan
Jordan’s Foreign Ministry condemned the move in the “strongest terms”. The ministry’s spokesman Sufyan Qudah affirmed his country’s “absolute rejection and condemnation of this settlement plan and the illegal Israeli measures that constitute a blatant violation of international law and international Security Council resolutions”.
Qudah warned against the continued expansionist policy of the Israeli government in the occupied West Bank, which the ministry said “encourages the perpetuation of cycles of violence and conflict in the region”.
Turkiye
The Turkish Foreign Ministry said the settlement plan “disregards international law and United Nations resolutions” and “targets the territorial integrity of the State of Palestine, the basis for a two-state solution, and hopes for lasting peace”.
It reaffirmed Turkiye’s support for an independent Palestinian state based on 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital.
United Kingdom
British Foreign Minister David Lammy said the plan must be stopped.
“The UK strongly opposes the Israeli government’s E1 settlement plans, which would divide a future Palestinian state in two and mark a flagrant breach of international law,” he said in an emailed statement to the Reuters news agency.
The situation in Gaza is appalling and the Israeli government’s actions are further jeopardising the two-state solution. @AnitaAnandMP, @jnbarrot and I discussed the need for an immediate ceasefire, release of all hostages, a flood of aid and a plan to deliver lasting peace.
Germany
The German government, a strong supporter of Israel, urged Israel to “stop settlement construction” and said it “strongly rejects” the plan for the new development
“The settlement construction violates international law and relevant UN Security Council resolutions,” a spokesperson for the Foreign Office in Berlin said.
“It complicates a negotiated two-state solution and an end to the Israeli occupation of the West Bank, as demanded by the International Court of Justice,” he added.
Spain
Spanish Foreign Minister Jose Manuel Albares called the expansion plan “a new violation of international law”.
“It undermines the viability of the two-state solution, the only path to peace,” he said in a social media post.
(Al Jazeera)
United Nations
The United Nations urged Israel to reverse its decision. “It would put an end to prospects of a two-state solution,” Stephane Dujarric, spokesperson for UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, told reporters.
“Settlements go against international law … [and] further entrench the occupation.”
European Union
The European Union’s foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas also slammed the plan as a “breach of international law” that would further undermine a two-state solution.
“If implemented, settlement construction in this area will permanently cut the geographical and territorial contiguity between occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank and sever the connection between the northern and southern West Bank,” said Kallas.
“The EU urges Israel to desist from taking this decision forward, noting its far-reaching implications and the need to consider action to protect the viability of the two-state solution.”
She called on Israel to halt its settlement construction altogether, saying its settlement policy, combined with ongoing settler violence and military operations, were “fuelling an already tense situation on the ground and further eroding any possibility for peace”.
Organisation of Islamic Cooperation
The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) also denounced the plans, saying the Israeli occupation and settlement expansion were illegal under international law, United Nations resolutions, and the advisory opinion of the International Court of Justice, and must end immediately.
The intergovernmental organisation urged the international community to take responsibility, hold Israel accountable, and impose sanctions in line with international law and relevant UN resolutions.
Israeli human rights group
Israeli advocacy group Peace Now warned that the move was “guaranteeing many more years of bloodshed”.
“The E1 plan is deadly for the future of Israel and for any chance of achieving a peaceful two-state solution,” it said in a statement.
“There is a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and to the terrible war in Gaza – the establishment of a Palestinian state alongside Israel – and it will ultimately come.”
United States
Israel’s key ally, the United States, had no immediate words of criticism for the proposal. Asked about the settlement development, a spokesperson for the US State Department said Washington was focused on ending the war in Gaza and ensuring Hamas will never govern that territory again.
