Just hours before the YouTuber was revealed as a member of this year’s Strictly line up, George Clarke publicly admitted being in a relationship for the first time in his showbiz career.

George Clarke has revealed the reason why he confirmed his romance with lingerie model Yasmin Amelia just hours before he was announced as part of this year’s Strictly Come Dancing line-up.

The 25-year-old YouTuber, who built a loyal following online with his sharp sense of humour, previously kept fans guessing when it came to his relationship status.

Until now, Clarke has often joked about dating mishaps and dodged questions about his love life. But ahead of his glittering BBC ballroom debut, he decided to go public with a girlfriend for the first time.

On the Useless Hotline Podcast, he stated that he wanted to control the plot before the speculation started. He continued, “That’s one of the reasons we wanted to say something.” Because you had two options, say something. You are entirely in charge of how it is released.

What you say is essentially how people find out, or it stays private, you say. It kind of gives you complete control over your decisions. But then, I’ll just go on stream and say, “Oh no, by the way,” that’s not true. She’s my girlfriend, yes.

Fans first spotted hints of his relationship during a livestream, and quickly figured out that his partner was Yasmin Amelia, also known as Yasmin Bennett, a model signed to J’adore Models with over 30,000 Instagram followers.

Clarke himself boasts more than 686,000 followers and previously appeared on the Netflix reality show Inside. While many of his fans celebrated the news of his new romance, others were taken aback.

One Reddit user wrote: “Caught me off guard because he is a very private person especially about his dating/love life. Even on the pod he has expressed his desire to keep things private and off socials.” However, another wrote: “I heard about this on his stream, and I’m genuinely happy for him!”

Clarke has also addressed rumors about the “Strictly Curse,” a phenomenon that many actors who appear on the show leave their partners for someone they met during the competition.

He quickly refrained from revealing that his relationship might be in jeopardized as a result of his upcoming Strictly appearance and argued that he should have done so because he wanted to be open and honest with his fans rather than as a form of damage control.

Clarke unintentionally made a second intriguing piece of information available on the podcast, mentioning potential partners on the show.

He claimed that he had already met professional dancer Lauren Oakley during rehearsals and that he had already met her. “I’ve never met anyone, except Lauren, who I met,” Since we conducted an interview for it, it was like an hour-long interview followed by an hour-long dance session.

Oakley, who joined the Strictly pro team in 2022, has previously competed with journalist Krishnan Guru-Murthy and singer JB Gill. If Clarke’s slip-up means what it seems to imply, she might be guiding the YouTube star through his first ballroom steps.

Williams ‘learned from mistakes’ as ex-Man Utd player rebuilds at Hull

Features of Rex

Brandon Williams says he has since refocused on his football career and learned lessons from his mistakes.

Williams has agreed to a one-year contract with Hull City to begin a new chapter.

He was suspended for two years after serving a 14-month sentence for dangerous driving, which he did for 20 months.

Former Manchester United full-back wanted to look back on the dark chapter despite it being dark.

The 24-year-old told BBC Radio Humberside, “I wasn’t in a good place at the time,” she said.

After rising through the ranks at Old Trafford, Williams started 51 games for United.

It appeared as though he was going to have a glittering career when more than two thirds of those appearances occurred during his debut season as a teenager under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s supervision.

He was detained for dangerous driving in August 2023 before being let go by United for the summer and taking a complete break from football.

He claimed, “I just lost my football love.” “I had a lot going on and couldn’t concentrate on my football,” he said. “Things were going on off the pitch.”

Williams sees leaving football as the right decision for him in the height of his career, which is difficult.

He was able to work away from the glare of the general public, and thanks to successfully completing a trial period with Hull, he can now begin to rebuild.

He said, “I took action to step away from the game, but I think I did it well.”

“I was working silently. I was working the entire time, despite everyone’s questioning of my actions.

“I made sure I was ready to return to football,” he said. The goal has always been that.

It was crucial that I did get the training and friendlies in before the pre-season, because I was ready to return to football.

Williams was a substitute for the Tigers’ Sunday victory over Oxford United in the Championship.

He appeared in a few pre-season games, but his eagerness is his first competitive appearance since December 2023.

However, he did feel he had missed out on the game because of his involvement in the squad.

He said, “I’ve missed the nerves and butterflies before the game.”

I was eager to join the pitch because I’m not very patient, but that will probably follow. I must now make an impression on the manager.

Most Americans support international recognition of Palestine: Poll

Washington, DC – A new Reuters/Ipsos poll suggests that most Americans support the state of Palestine despite the decline in public support for Israel in the wake of the atrocities in Gaza.

The majority of respondents also claimed that Israel’s military response to Gaza was excessive.

4 446 US adults were quizzed during the survey’s release on Wednesday.

The statement that “Palestine should be recognized as a country by all UN members should be accepted by fifty-eight percent of respondents agrees with it.” Democrats now account for 78 percent of the vote, up from Republicans who make up 41%.

Surprisingly, 77 percent of Democratic respondents concurred that “Israel should be recognized as a country by all UN members.”

Leading rights organizations have referred to Israel’s campaign of destruction, starvation, and displacement in Gaza as a genocide as the world grows in fury.

At the UN General Assembly in the coming months, several US allies have stated that they will recognize Palestine as a state.

The administration of US President Donald Trump has rejected international pressures to recognize a Palestinian state and criticized the actions as pointless.

The majority of nations have recognized Palestine already. How the expansion of illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, the two territories that would make up a Palestinian state, would be impacted by further recognition by Western nations.

Sanctions and an arms embargo have been a constant request from human rights advocates for the international community to impose serious sanctions on Israel for its abuses of Palestinians.

Israel is continuing its push to seize Gaza City despite protests from European nations, an assault that could result in the displacement of tens of thousands of people and the destruction of what was once Palestine’s largest city.

In violation of international law, Israel is still increasing military and settler attacks in the West Bank while constructing more settlements.

In an effort to oust the possibility of a Palestinian state, Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich celebrated the recently announced plan for 3,400 illegal Israeli housing units between Palestinian communities in the West Bank.

According to the Times of Israel, “the Palestinian state is being removed from the table not by slogans but by deeds,” according to Smotrich. Every settlement, every neighborhood, and every housing unit are just another example of how dangerous this idea is.

The International Court of Justice ruled last year that Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territories, including Gaza and the West Bank, needs to end “as soon as possible” due to its unlawful presence there.

Israel is a signatory to the Fourth Geneva Convention, which forbids the occupying country from allowing “parts of its own civilian population” to enter the territory it occupies.

As Israel’s occupation of the Palestinian territories gets further entangled, successive US administrations have verbally supported the two-state solution.

Trump, a steadfast supporter of Israel, has gone against conventional wisdom and has criticized the expansion of settlements.

The US public has remained hostile toward Israel, though.
