I’m A Celebrity star issues apology for offensive controversial football chant

After being filmed singing the controversial “Feed the Scousers” chant at Manchester United’s game against Everton in November 2023, the I’m a Celebrity star apologized in public.

This I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! contestant was compelled to make a public apology after he was caught on camera singing an offensive chant. The ardent Manchester United supporter was unveiled as one of the 10 participants for the latest series of the ITV jungle show, following his rise to fame through online streaming.

His breakthrough into mainstream media came after a standout performance in the Sidemen charity match, leading to his Soccer Aid debut at Old Trafford – just months before being selected for I’m a Celeb alongside his good mate and rapper Aitch. Angry Ginge, whose real name is Morgan Burtwistle, was known for filming himself at United games, but one particular clip sparked a significant backlash.

On his YouTube channel, the Baller League manager frequently shares videos of his adventures playing Sunday League football and managing his Winton Yanited team.

During United’s 3-0 victory over Everton in November 2023, Ginge recorded himself participating in the contentious ‘Feed the Scousers’ chant in the away end – a video that garnered millions of views. The chant, set to the melody of the Christmas charity single ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ by Band Aid in 1984, makes light of food poverty.

After discussing with his Liverpudlian friends and comprehending the significance of the chant, Ginge, who was raised on a council estate and raised by his mother and nan, apologized on his social media platforms.

He wrote, “I just saw the tweets that are being circulated about the chant I sang at the Everton game.” I’m so sorry I sang that song; I was distracted by what the song’s lyrics actually meant.

Some of my fellow scorers have informed me that it’s making fun of poverty, and I want to apologize if I sang it. I grew up in that environment, lived on a council estate, and ate £1 microwave meals every night.

“I have no idea what you’re going through, and I’m sorry, but I just got caught up with it.” I’m so sorry for being honest, and I fully understand my anger because it’s wrong because I didn’t intend to do it.

Sporting his signature red Lightning McQueen crocs, Ginge had viewers in stitches from the very first episode. In the episode, he triumphed in a challenge to secure a place in the ‘luxury getaway car’ alongside Aitch, Eddie Kadi and Jack Osbourne.

When they arrived at camp, the foursome who won the game were treated to steak for dinner and upscale beds. In an effort to win meals for camp, Giggling has been chosen for the very first bushtucker trial, with both he and Ruby Wax participating in the first eating challenge at “The Divey.” Due to a new rule introduced for this year’s show, he will be exempt from the following trial if he is chosen to take a second one in a row.

Angry Ginge is capturing the hearts of a new generation during his stint in I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, and his latest confession about being sober has even more people praising him.

Someone wrote in the comments, “I loved the discussion about sobriety (as someone is over two years in) and how they were all so open and honest about it. Hopefully it will help a younger person as well”!

Another boasted that “the younger male population is incredibly deserving of angry ginge.” He has a fantastic role model and is a part of a very well-known television program. Both of my daughters are typically too cool to watch boys (18 andamp; 20) having relationships. Both are LOCKED IN to watch Angry Ginge, and I totally agree with what you say.

Continue reading the article.

And a third person described him as “absolutely brilliant.” My 14-year-old son is utterly in love with him. and has actually watched my show with me. He rarely leaves his room on its own. Both Ginge and Aitch, both excellent role models for young men and adolescent boys, are absolute sweethearts.

Gov Bago Orders School Closure, Vows Swift Rescue Of Abducted Niger Students

Following the abduction of some students and staff from St. Mary’s Private (Catholic) Secondary School in the Agwara Local Government Area, Governor of Nigeria Umaru Bago has mandated the closure of schools across the state. &nbsp,

He also assured the Nigerlites of the state’s unwavering commitment to ensuring the abductees’ safe return.

The Governor addressed reporters on Saturday at the Government House in Minna after holding an emergency meeting with service chiefs and key stakeholders. He said the state had woken up to news that shouldn’t have happened.

According to Governor Bago, “We woke up yesterday to a very sad and unfortunate incident involving the kidnapping of children from a missionary school in Agwara Local Government.” This is not the right time to assign blame, even though this could have been avoided. Our top priority is to immediately ensure that these children and everyone they have been abducted are safely saved.

The governor urged all security organizations, civil society organizations, labor unions, religious leaders, and community stakeholders to unite and bolster their support of the rescue operation.

“Niger State is our home, and Nigeria is our only nation.” We will continue to do everything in our power as a government to safeguard the lives and property of our citizens, he continued.

Governor Bago announced the closure of all private primary and secondary schools in the state of Niger, including missionary and Islamic schools, after discussions with stakeholders and security officials.

He made it clear that the Federal Government had already shut down Federal Government College, Minna, and other unity schools. Any additional schools that are located in high-risk or vulnerable areas will be closed by the state.

Additionally, all of the state’s schools have been closed until further notice, effectively bringing the state’s students and pupils’ Christmas break an earlier one.

A comprehensive headcount of the abducted students must be conducted by security agencies. We should have a confirmed figure by the end of today, the governor said.

Governor Bago made a press briefing and a press briefing before heading to the Ahmed Bola Tinubu International Airport in Minna to meet and show his solidarity with the Emir of Borgu.

Scotland squad fully behind Townsend – Tuipulotu

SNS

Sione Tuipulotu, the captain, claims that the Scotland squad is still completely behind Gregor Townsend as pressure mounts on him as the Autumn Nations Series’ season drags on.

Scotland were denied a historic first victory over the All Blacks after being swept out by New Zealand by an 85-0 drubbing of the USA, and then went down 31-0 to Argentina, who were then 21-0 up, to lose 33-24.

Townsend has brushed aside concerns about whether a change is necessary after eight years in the position before Sunday’s final game of the series against Tonga at Murrayfield.

Tuipulotu also backed the head coach when he addressed the media on Saturday.

Tuipulotu said, “I don’t believe I’ve ever addressed you guys honestly.” I’ve always responded to your questions honestly, even when you guys do. I fully support my head coach, and so do the other players, to be honest.

I take great responsibility for the events that occurred over the weekend [against Argentina]… The team’s captain is me.

“Gregor is not playing rugby down there.” He gave us the opportunity to increase by 21 points, and I accept responsibility as the captain for our failure to do so.

We chose not to execute New Zealand. I believe it’s more a player thing for me because I can influence the situation while playing on the field and with all the other players.

No one causes more harm than players, according to the statement.

Tuipulotu says playing an opposition that means so much to him, his father is Tongan, has helped him refocus and get over the disappointment of leaving the Pumas. He made his Scotland debut four years ago against Tonga.

The Glasgow Warriors center called it “a massive game for me.” I feel as though I get to represent who I am in a single game.

“I believe that’s one of the things that kind of centered me this week. I won’t lie to you and claim that I wasn’t severely injured. The playing group is the only one who suffers the most.

“But to sit in front of you guys here as the captain, having looked back at my career’s last four years has shifted me a little and letting me know how far I’ve come.

The most crucial aspect of being a captain is that there will be some really enjoyable times, in my opinion. After winning Australia a year ago, I sat in front of you.

You are probably the first person to receive the pat on the back as the captain, and I don’t have any trouble being the first one to bear the brunt of the blame, either.

Being a leader is what I believe the last week has shown me, in my opinion. When things don’t go right, you’re in the first line because you ultimately manage the team, which I didn’t do well against Argentina. I’m not at all hiding from that.

England would be ‘amateurish’ to not play pink-ball warm-up – Vaughan

JavaScript must be enabled in your browser to play this video.

Former Ashes Test captain Michael Vaughan claims that it would be “amateurish” if England continued to play in a pink-ball warm-up match prior to the second Ashes Test.

England lost their first test on Saturday, falling to England in an astonishing two days, and there are now 12 days until Brisbane’s second test.

England will not play any of their Test XI in a pink-ball match against a Prime Minister’s XI on November 29 because that Test will be a day-night affair and will be played with a pink ball rather than a red one. Instead, the Lions development team will face off against the Lions.

England’s captain Ben Stokes stated to Test Match Special that they would not change their plans despite appearing to leave the door open for change when he later addressed his press conference.

According to Stokes, “all we are trying to do is give ourselves the best chance to win an Ashes series.”

“We’ll let the dust settle on this, and over the next few days we’ll decide whether or not a few guys joining that game should be played,” the team’s manager said.

Given that the Lions had only one warm-up game against England, it was questioned how well England had prepared for the Perth Test.

England has warm-up matches against Australian state teams before, but they prefer to do so now. With a similar schedule, they had the same schedule as their three previous victories.

However, the two-day Prime Minister’s XI match in Canberra would provide the players with the opportunity to play undercover cricket while playing pink balls.

Although batters sometimes find it difficult to see the pink ball as clearly as the red ball does, according to history, there are only a few small differences between how the pink ball acts.

Australia has won 13 of their 14 day-night Tests, including the three against England.

All these discussions will return to England, Vaughan said, whether or not they want them.

If England don’t practice between now and then, it’s amateurish.

What harm does it cause when the pink ball is positioned under lights during two days of cricket?

“I can’t be so old-fashioned to suggest that playing cricket might make them feel a little better,” I say.

Stokes backs batters and is “shellshocked.”

Stokes acknowledged that after their Saturday defeat, he was “shell-shocked.”

The all-rounder praised Travis Head, who smashed 123 balls from 83 balls to lead Australia to victory with his stunning assault, and said he thought the 205 target was defendable.

On day two, Stokes also defended his team’s bat. England fell from 65-1 to 88-6 on loose drives with Olivia Pope, Joe Root, and Harry Brook out all out.

According to Stokes, “the guys who had success were those who really put bowlers under pressure and were knocking them off line and lengths.”

Emmerdale’s Charley Webb shares life-changing diagnosis four years after soap exit

Debbie Dingle, who she portrayed in Emmerdale, has opened up about her health and revealed that she is being evaluated for autism and ADHD.

Charley Webb, the 37 year old actress known for her role as Debbie Dingle in Emmerdale from 2002 to 2021, has opened up about a recent health diagnosis. The mother of three, who shares her children with ex-partner Matthew Wolfenden, who played David Metcalfe in Emmerdale, emphasised: “It’s so important for people to understand themselves and I think as we’re getting older it’s becoming more of a thing now.”

She revealed on the podcast Girls Next Door that she is currently being evaluated for ADHD and autism. I’ve essentially just been diagnosed with that, she said. Because I’m just in the beginning stages, I don’t want to confirm it. Autistic/ADHD is more prevalent in autism. What do I do like? ‘. I’ve just begun the [with doctors] process.

Discussing the topic of ADHD, she said: “I think ADHD is such a big subject now and I think everyone is probably on the spectrum somewhere, like, it’s how deep you go into it.”

She continued: “But it does make a lot of sense for me for things like people thinking that I’m really cold. I think that could just be like a little bit of the autistic side of me if it is true. I’ve got to do way more investigations but that doesn’t shock me that much. It’s interesting,” reports the Express.

No one discussed it years and years ago, she said. There has never been a discussion about ADHD or anything similar, but it has since spread like a wildfire. That is really important to be understood, in my opinion. And noise, which is what causes it, is what I’m trying to avoid. In a matter of seconds, I go from nought to 60. When I travel somewhere that is incredibly busy, I find it to be so overwhelming. So I’ll be interested in learning more about that.

“It’s something inside of you, isn’t it?” It is a genetic trait. For instance, one parent would need to have it for a child to have it.

According to the NHS website, ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) is a condition that most people don’t experience in terms of brain function. You might struggle with things like focusing and sat still if you have ADHD. You can take steps to manage your symptoms.

Earlier this year, Charley and Matthew, put their family home on the market for £900,000. Charley, 34, and Matthew, 44, shared the four-bedroomed Harrogate property with their three kids; Buster, 14, Bowie, nine, and Ace, five, before their shock split. It boasts a spacious outdoor summer house in a huge back garden and stunning finishes throughout.

The Emmerdale star’s split was revealed in a statement released at the time by the actress to the media: “Love and respect, Matthew and I have decided to separate. Our main goals are our children’s education, and we will always be friends. We would appreciate privacy at this point for their sake. C x”. Matthew signed off with “M” on his Instagram message, which read the same.

The pair were together for five years before calling time on their marriage in November 2023. Shortly after their split, an insider claimed Charley was ‘hardly at home’ and ‘moved lots of her stuff out’.

Matthew thanked his parents for supporting him during the separation on Loose Women. He continued, “Bless my mum and dad; I owe them a holiday because they have moved in and are looking after the kids.”

The former couple first got engaged to each other in 2007 on Emmerdale’s set. In a hidden ceremony in 2018, they tied the knot two years later. Rumors about their relationship’s status started to spread in the first quarter of 2023. Fans were aware that he unfollowed Charley on Instagram before the split was made public.

Emmerdale airs on ITV1 and ITVX on weeknights at 7:30pm, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays.

Bangladesh closing in on Test win over Ireland

Second Test, Shere Bangla National Stadium, Mirpur (day four of five).

Bangladesh 476 (Das 128, Mushfiqur 106, McBrine 6-109) &amp, 297-4 (Mominul 87, Shadman 78, Hoey 2-84)

Ireland 265 (Tucker 75, Neill 49, Doheny 46, Taijul 4-76) &amp, 176-6 (Tector 50, Campher 34*, Taijul 3-55)

With only four wickets left, Ireland needs 333 more runs to win.

As Ireland advanced to the fifth day of their second Test in Mirpur, Harry Tector scored a half-century.

With only four wickets needed for the hosts and 333 more runs needed for Ireland, a victory for Bangladesh still seems likely.

After a 5. 7 magnitude earthquake in Bangladesh’s capital city, which temporarily caused the fourth day to go by itself, the third day of action was temporarily suspended.

Bangladesh, who had a 508-run lead when captain Najmul Hossain Shanto declared their innings overdue with a 297-4 victory, built on their successful start to the series.

With only 13 and 9 runs in their eighth over, openers Andrew Balbirnie and Paul Stirling were out for Ireland.

Curtis Campher and Tector kept the innings steady as Heinrich Mallan’s men made their fifth Test half-century.

Campher held his ground and completed the gap by going 34 without Andy McBrine, who was 11th behind him.

The game will return on Sunday at 3:30 GMT.

By an innings and 47 runs, Bangladesh won the first of the two-match series.
