Speaking of the launch, DJ Snake – whose real name is William Sami Étienne Grigahcine – said: “I grew up surrounded by people from India, the Caribbean, Africa and the Middle East. That mix shaped everything I heard.

“Nomad is a tribute to that upbringing, always moving, always learning, always blending what the world has to offer. Nomad goes beyond an album tracklist. It’s a cultural statement.”

Snake also mixes tracks with K-Pop powerhouse Stray Kids. Speaking of their connection, the DJ went on: “We met last year at the 2024 Gala des Pieces Jaunes in Paris.

“So to now collaborate with these guys who have had such an impact on this genre is an honour.”

His latest offering with American rapper Travis Scott sees the pair release Tsunami. Travis was in the UK earlier this year for a performance at Leeds and Reading Festival.

The 34-year-old, who has two children with ex partner Kylie Jenner, put on a lively show with a bold set and fireworks. He also surprised fans with a Kanye West performance during a recent concert in Japan.

As part of his weekend-long Tokyo takeover this weekend, the Utopia rapper was at Tokorozawa’s Belluna Dome. There, he performed his notable material and brought out Ye.

Fans were quick to share clips online of Ye removed a mask to show his identity to the crowd. They then launched into his 2007 song titled Can’t Tell Me Nothing.

He also performed Through The Wire and other tunes as the crowd loved the surprise. Taking to social media, one excited fan shared a clip and wrote: “Ye performing Through The Wire in Japan,” along with three flame emojis.

Another noticed Ye’s different behaviour on stage and commented on his smiling appearance. “Ye looks so happy,” they wrote while sharing a clip of the rappers together.

Alan Carr was in Morocco with Cleo Rocos when a man brandished a knife at her during a night out – and the comedian didn’t hesitate to step in to protect his friend

The Celebrity Traitors winner Alan Carr once saved his friend’s life when she was attacked during a night out in Morocco.

The comedian, 49, tackled an assailant who was brandishing a ten-inch blade at actress Cleo Rocos, 63, and knocked the weapon out of his hand. The shocking incident happened in the city of Marrakesh, Cleo said, as she explained the man came out of nowhere and told her he wanted to be with her.

Cleo and Alan didn’t think he was being serious – but at some point, he took out a knife, which terrified her. But Cleo recalled that despite the tense moment, Alan managed to remain calm, pulled his friend to the other side and told the man: “Don’t be so rude.”

“Before the man could react, he slapped the knife out of his hand,” she explained. Speaking to The Sun, Cleo said she was “shocked” and after Alan intervened, they walked off at a pace, while still looking behind to ensure the man wasn’t following them.

Cleo, who lives in Brazil where she runs the AquaRiva tequila company, said: “Alan had really knocked the wind out of him – he didn’t punch him or anything but he disarmed him and he was so brave in the way he handled it. That night could have gone terribly wrong, but Alan dealt with the situation so decisively – he literally saved my life.”

She added that once back home, she recounted the story but Alan never mentioned it again. “That’s how humble he is,” Cleo said. “And I suddenly realised that Alan is a really big person. He is much taller than people realise and he is also strong and chivalrous despite his nervous demeanour. He’s a real gentleman, which is so nice, and he’s very protective.”

After winning The Celebrity Traitors, Alan has been tipped as the new host of Strictly Come Dancing, replacing Claudia Winkleman – and there are also rumours that his former long-running Channel 4 series Chatty Man could return. One source told The Mirror: “Alan’s comedy talents were showcased perfectly in the Traitors castle and it’s reminded many people just how funny he is.

“Even people who claimed they didn’t like him before have loved watching him laugh and lie his way through the episodes. It would be no surprise if Chatty Man now got a reboot – not necessarily on Channel 4 – and the Beeb could do way worse than letting Alan loose in the ballroom. He’d be a hoot.”

Viewers saw Alan burst into tears as he won the £87,500 prize on The Celebrity Traitors, as he told Faithfuls Nick Mohammed and David Olusoga: “I’m so sorry, it’s been tearing me apart.” Speaking afterwards, the comic said he couldn’t help the outpouring of emotion at the very end.

“I think all the deceit, the lying, the murdering of Paloma and Celia had all taken its toll and then I think it dawned on me that I had won such a huge amount for my charity, Neuroblastoma UK,” he explained. “Hopefully when people see how upset I was they won’t feel so bad that I killed all those national treasures.”

EXCLUSIVE: Strictly Come Dancing star Lewis Cope has opened up about his time on the show and who he would like to see replace Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly as host

Strictly Come Dancing star Lewis Cope wouldn’t mind seeing Alan Carr take over the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom reins.

With Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman stepping away, speculation over their replacements is already swirling with Alan reportedly holding the top spot after his Traitors victory. “I think Alan would be brilliant,” Lewis says. “He’s funny, people love him, and he’s really current. Why not? He’d be hilarious with the judges – he’d probably go, ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about, but you were brilliant!’”

His partner Katya Jones smiles but has her own view. “Alan would be great fun, but I think Jeannette Manrara would make an amazing host. She knows the dancing, she knows what we go through. She’d bring real heart.”

Away from host talk, Lewis, who is one out of 13 siblings, is still adjusting to life under the glitterball – and his girlfriend, Call the Midwife actor Rachel Maya Lopez, has been cheering him on. “She’s absolutely loving it,” he says. “She’s bursting with pride. I show her rehearsal videos and she’s the best confidence booster. Even when I think we’re struggling, she’ll say, ‘I love this – it’s your best one yet!’”

He laughs when asked if they practise together at home. “No – I’m quite regimented. I like rehearsing in the same space, keeping things structured. I don’t want to confuse my brain!”

Critics might point to his past – Lewis trained in dance years ago before focusing on acting – but he’s quick to clarify. “It was a long time ago and only for a couple of years. I’ve been an actor for 12 years. You can’t fake what we do out there – I’m drenched in sweat every day trying to keep up with the pros.”

Katya nods. “People think he’s had it easy, but he’s working harder than anyone. It’s not a given – it’s earned. Compared to my previous partners, this isn’t easier or quicker. If anything, it’s more challenging because I can ask more of him.”

After scoring a perfect 40 last week, the pair are determined to stay grounded. “We never try to top it,” Lewis says. “From the start we’ve focused on working as hard as we can each week. What happens at the weekend happens – then we move on. Every dance is new.”

Still, for all the physical intensity, Katya says the show is as much mental as muscular. “You need stamina in your body, but even more in your head,” she says. “Every week you’re resetting – new choreography, new story, new pressure. That’s why having someone like Lewis who can stay positive makes such a difference.”

The physical demands don’t get easier with time. “As the years go on, you feel it more,” Katya admits. “Viewers are more educated now – they know what to look for, and the standard’s higher.”

“I once popped into Boots and someone said, ‘Aren’t you meant to be rehearsing? I need a good show tonight!’ You really feel that responsibility.”

Every week brings a new challenge for the pair and as they have performed the Cha Cha to Pete Rodriguez’s I like it Like That, Lewis found it tricky. “You’re learning a new way of moving every time,” Lewis says.

“This week it was about transferring weight – that was tricky.” Katya adds, “He’s an incredible student. Even when we hit a low midweek, he’ll watch the videos, critique himself, and come back the next morning ready to go. His resilience is amazing.”

He smiles. “We just want to entertain people – that’s what the show’s about. If we can give people joy on a Saturday night, that’s a win.”

Alison Hammond is ready to head Down Under again 15 years after her first I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here appearance, according to reports. The This Morning presenter, 50 is reportedly getting set to head to Australia again to feature on the ITV show’s spin-off offering.

Alison first took part in the series 15 years ago in 2010. At the time she appeared as a late entry. And now, she is said to be heading early, with bosses excited to have her on board.

A source described the former Big Brother star as a “national treasure”, expressing her her “signature charm” will be well received.

Speaking to The Sun, the source said: “Her signature charm and infectious humour will go down a storm. She’ll only be away a week so This Morning won’t miss her too much.”

And Alison has previously been honest about her initial experience. She admitted she didn’t enjoy being part of the show due to her late entry.

“I went in like, halfway through,” she said. “So everyone had established relationships and I just really didn’t enjoy myself at all.”

Maybe if I went in now and went in from the beginning and bonded with everyone. Basically everyone was bonded and I was like, oh God I don’t really like it here.”

She added: “There was no hot water, I went into the creek and washed in cold water.”

While Alison is now expected to be a part of the sister show and let her feelings be known, this year’s campmates were reportedly announced this week.

The first rumoured star has been pictured arriving at the airport ahead of the ITV show’s launch. The 2025 series of Ant and Dec’s hit competition kicks off next week, with a number of huge stars reportedly taking part.

Loose Women star Kelly Brook was spotted leaving her terminal at Heathrow this week ahead of a flight to Australia. The 45-year-old sported chic brown loungewear for the 17-hour flight as she checked in a few vintage suitcases. The make-up free star smiled for the cameras as she walked through the airport.

Alongside Kelly, it’s thought the likes of EastEnders’ Shona McGarty, reality star Jack Osbourne, TV presenter Vogue Williams and Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley will be joining in the jungle. Other rumours see celebrities such as comedian Ruby Wax, Youtube star AngryGinge, ex footballer Alex Scott, Spandau Ballet’s Martin Kemp, comic Eddie Kadi, rapper Aitch and Celebs Go Dating’s Tom Read Wilson expected to join the cast.

However, Nick Ferrari is said to have pulled out of I’m A Celebrity after his radio chiefs vowed to match the show’s fee.

Joe Marler said he felt ‘heartbroken’ as his friend Nick Mohammed turned on him during the Celebrity Traitors finale and voted to banish him instead of Traitor Alan Carr

Joe Marler has broken his silence after being banished from Celebrity Traitors at the last minute – and admitted he felt “heartbroken” when he was eliminated.

The former rugby union player, 35, correctly guessed that comedian Alan Carr, 49, and singer Cat Burns, 25, were the remaining Traitors – and thought that his friend Nick Mohammed, 45, would support him in voting both of them out. Even though Cat was eventually eliminated, the nail-biting finale took an unexpected turn when Nick actually started believing that Joe was a Traitor too as he told the singer “I’m sorry” after voting for her to be banished.

This meant that Nick eventually voted to eliminate Joe instead of Alan – and the actor was shocked to find out, alongside filmmaker David Olusoga, that the comedian had been a Traitor from the very beginning of the show. Joe has now spoken out following he finale, which at its peak was seen by 12 million people, according to the BBC.

He told BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen: “I was also expecting to win. I thought me and Nick, really, we’d nailed this one. I was heartbroken. He didn’t stick to my plan.

“He went with his gut, which is a shame, but I still was so in love with him, because that little like dickie bow, his little face, the three little love hearts, he put on my name [on the blackboard after voting for him].”

However, Joe admitted: “Although in that moment, I was heartbroken.” But he added: “I really enjoyed Nick. He’s fantastic.” Joe also described Alan as “unbelievable” after the comedian won the entire prize pot of £87,500, which he has donated to the children’s cancer charity Neuroblastoma UK.

After this week’s finale, Joe announced he is returning to podcasting with his new show, Joe Marler Will See You Now, which will see the former Harlequins forward “reimagined as an entirely unqualified yet oddly persuasive pseudo-psychologist” who will grill celebrity guests with a series of increasingly probing questions and bespoke personality tests.

The podcast – which will launch on Thursday, November 13, and will be available to listen to on BBC Sounds – is produced by Folding Pocket, the same label that produces The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked. Joe also shared a post on Instagram about his new show just minutes after the Celebrity Traitors finale ended.

“I am really excited to be launching a new podcast with a twist! Think Good Will Hunting meets The Goonies,” said Joe as his new project was announced. “I’ve always loved asking questions and learning new things.

“This new show lets me do it in the most surreal, unpredictable way. I can’t wait for people to see just how ridiculous, and surprisingly revealing, it’s going to be.”

In a funny TikTok video announcing the show, Joe also took a swipe at Nick as he filmed himself receiving a call from the actor. But after looking at his phone, he said: “Nick Mohammed? Nah,” before throwing his phone to the side. The logo of his new show then flashed up on the screen.

The Black Sabbath front man died on July 22 this year just weeks after an epic Back to the Beginning farewell concert at his beloved Villa Park. It was to be hisfinal performance after his career was lauded by a number of icons from the heavy metal genre.

Earlier in the week, Kelly had posted sweet throwback snaps of her dad with her son Sidney to mark the tot’s third birthday. Ozzy looked to be loving life in the images as he bonded with his grandson.

She admitted in the post that she cried her eyes out making the emotional montage of the duo. In another image, Ozzy and Sidney were also seen lying in bed with Sharon Osbourne.

Kelly captioned the post with a sweet nod to her father, saying that the musician will be “watching down” on his family. She penned: “I can’t believe it’s been 3 years already.

“I cried my eyes out making this reel. So much has happened in the most magical ways in the last three years.”

She went on: “‘Happy birthday my little angel I know what Papa is watching down on you so proud of the little man that you are becoming! YOU ARE 3!!!!!!!!! I love you I love you I love you.”

And she has since shared more images of family life, including how they have their own chicken coop. Kelly showed off the influx of eggs the family now has, saying they had so many she wanted to know how to donate some.

Kelly’s brother, Jack, is rumoured to be going into the I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here jungle. With the show just days away from launching, reports claim Jack is on board.

“He is believed to be going into the jungle with full support of his mother and his sister Kelly,” a source said. “Jack is very likely to discuss Ozzy, which will be an incredibly moving moment for the campmates and for viewers and fans of the adored rocker,” they added to the Sun.

Jack is already very accustomed to reality TV. He starred in the first of its kind show The Osbournes with his famous family two decades ago. He has also appeared on ITV thanks to Jack Osbourne: Adrenaline Junkie from 2005 to 2009.

And he was on the History channel’s Ozzy & Jack’s World Detour from 2016 to 2018. I’m A Celebrity is just days away as hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly will return Down Under for Sunday 16 November.
