Former TOWIE star Chloe Brockett, 24, has opened up about her “year from hell” after leaving the award-winning show. Chloe received death threats, get stalked, and worry constantly about money. Chloe left abruptly after a heated altercation between her and cast mate Roman Hackett, 22, that ending with her throwing three glass tumblers at him.

The reality star was suspended from the series and eventually quit. In a new bombshell interview the Essex native says TOWIE producers “forced” her to throw the first drink and claims they “instigated” it, claiming that they “pushed and pushed” even after she said she didn’t want to do it.

While Chloe says she’s much happier now the year following her departure from the show has been “hell”. Speaking to The Sun, she claimed that being on the series resulted in getting death threats and suffering at the hands of a stalker. After quitting her main source of income, Chloe eventually turned to OnlyFans to pay the bills.

She said: “I got torn apart for the way I look, speak, everything. People said they wanted me dead. I was a child — just 18. It was too young to be on a show like that. I had a stalker. I get my hair done regularly and each time he’d ring up and ask the receptionist, ‘ When does Chloe want picking up? ‘. It went on for ages”.

Chloe also says that she quickly realised that being “bolshy, ­argumentative Chloe B” got her more work and producers would go to her when they needed drama on the show. She added: “Everyone thought I was really like that. But I am a nice person”.

Chloe also spent much of last year supporting her boyfriend Jack Fincham, 31. The TV personality has had a difficult few years, with the star most recently being sentenced to six weeks behind bars after his Cane Corso dog bit two people, causing an injury to one individual. He was ordered to pay £3580 to the courts, including a £200 compensation fee to one of the victims, which also includes a £50 compensation fee to a second victim.

A payment plan was set up for Jack to pay £400 a month after he’s released after prosecutors said he has ‘ no savings. ‘ However, hours after his sentencing, Jack was released from prison pending an appeal. His struggles began a few years ago, with a “cocaine binge” seeing him being given an ultimatum by then-girlfriend Dani Dyer.

In February this year Jack opened up about struggling with his mental health as he admitted he attempted suicide while on a short break with Chloe in a West Midlands country hotel. He went on IMDB and thought he ‘ had nothing to show for this ‘ and ‘ messed up his life ‘ after realising he did 30 TV shows.

“I’d had the world at my feet, but the addictions destroyed everything”, he explained to The Sun. He lost 1 million followers on social media, which he described was a “horrible feeling”. While spiralling with his thoughts, he ordered “sambucas, prosecco, five vodkas at a time”, before he started gambling on his phone.

However, he thought he ‘ lost his last penny ‘ while being ‘ off his head ‘ and gambling online. Thinking he had nothing to his name, he said to himself: “I don’t want to be here anymore, I’ve had enough. I am a f***ing loser”. His girlfriend rushed to the reception to tell staff to stop serving him drinks and asked them to call the ambulance as she was ‘ scared he was going to kill himself’.

While she was downstairs, he considering throwing himself over the hotel balcony. He confessed: “I remember weighing up the options, thinking, ‘ I’ve nothing left to give here. Not a penny to my name. Nothing is salvageable. ‘ We were in a hillside lodge and I jumped. If I’d have dived at a different angle, I may not be here today. That is scary”.

Danny Jones has remained silent following his kiss scandal with Maura Higgins but for one reason. The McFly singer is married to Georgia Horsley but faces calls to “speak out” about the ongoing drama.

Former I’m A Celebrity co-stars Danny, 38, and Maura, 34, have yet to publicly comment on reports earlier this month that they had a “drunken kiss” at a BRIT Awards after-party in London. Footage released last weekend appears to them having a kiss and a second video, published this week, reportedly shows them later chatting at second party.

A source has since told the Mirror that Danny and wife Georgia, 38, are in crisis talks in a bid to save their marriage. The McFly member and podcast host Georgia have been married since 2014 and share son Cooper, seven. The source suggested that Danny’s silence may have been down to him “working through various discussions” with his wife, but they added that the musician “needs to now speak out” about the situation following the second video.

Discussing the scandal, the source told us: “Everyone would understand why Danny and his wife have been quiet. They are likely working through various discussions from the first video that was released alone. With this second video, Danny needs to now speak out”.

They continued: “Maura is getting a lot of the backlash, and Danny seems to be getting away with his actions as a husband who was supposed to have been in love with his wife for over a decade. Danny’s career should be halted at this point and he should be big enough to now speak out to everyone and explain what has happened and take some accountability”.

The source added: “This is unfair on his wife, who seems to have put the family and their marriage first. Who knows if another video will emerge, but being honest is now the only way that this has a chance of resolving itself”.

The comments comes after it was claimed just last weekend that Danny and Maura – who appeared on I’m A Celebrity together last year – had a “drunken kiss” whilst at a Universal Music after-party at 180 Studios on the Strand following the BRIT Awards. Footage, shared by the Sun last Sunday night, appears to show them having a kiss. A source told the outlet that they “seemed to be having a great time”, adding: “They looked like they had a brief drunken kiss”.

The pair were photographed smiling as they left the party and are said to have both then ended up at Sony’s afterparty at the Nobu Hotel in Portman Square. They are reported to have travelled separately to the second party. A video from that event, shared by the Sun this weekend, appears to show them in a conversation and holding glasses of wine. Source claimed to the outlet that Danny and Maura seemed to have “no plans to call it a night”, adding that they were “knocking back wine” from 4am and “weren’t seen leaving before 6am”.

Acting legend John Goodman, 72, is recovering after suffering a nasty injury while he was filming scenes for a new movie in England with Tom Cruise. According to a representative from the set, the veteran actor suffered a ‘ hip injury ‘ and ‘ received immediate medical attention that led to a brief delay in shooting to allow him time to recover ‘ – and he is expected to return to filming next week.

The star reportedly slipped while filming and was taken to the hospital for treatment, halting filming for two days. The project he is working on with action star Tom is as yet untitled, but has the working name ‘ Judy ‘ and is being directed by Mexican filmmaker Alejandro G. Iñárritu at Pinewood Studios, in Buckinghamshire.

In the film’s plot listed on IMDB, Tom Cruise, 62 – whose next project to hit the big screen is Mission Impossible – The Final Reckoning, plays ‘ the most powerful man in the world. ‘ After he causes a major disaster, the character ‘ embarks on a mission to prove that he is the saviour of humanity. ‘ Jesse Plemons and Riz Ahmed have also been cast in the action adventure, which Warner Bros. has currently scheduled for release in October 2026.

Goodman, whose HBO show The Righteous Gemstones makes its season four debut on Sunday, has not released a statement about the incident. The black comedy tells the story of a world-famous televangelist family, the Gemstones, who do not practise what they preach and use their ministry to fulfil their selfish motives and hide shocking secrets.

The actor has previously struggled with weight and health issues, including obesity, high blood pressure, sleep apnea, and type 2 diabetes, leading to his dramatic weight loss -over the course of a decade, and beginning in 2007. He put his incredible physical transformation down to quitting alcohol, adopting a Mediterranean diet, and incorporating regular exercise like boxing and daily dog walks.

In a 2023 interview, Goodman revealed that he has lost a total of 200 pounds, having first revealed to David Letterman in 2011 that he was “pushing 400” pounds s at his heaviest. “I’d get off of Roseanne every spring. I’d lose 60 pounds every spring]but] I’d gain it back and then some, every year”, he told the late-night host at the time.

At the start of his journey, Goodman hired health coach Mackie Shilstone who helped him cut out sugar and hit the gym six days a week. The actor, who’s also been candid about his struggles with alcoholism in the past, also quit the booze after checking into a rehabilitation center in 2007.
