A new series of DIY SOS is about to be launched. It will see Nick Knowles and the team return, with viewers set to see them help bring communities together and transform people’s lives through various projects on the show.

The BBC show first aired in 1999 and later relaunched as DIY SOS: The Big Build in 2010. The most recent series was broadcast between May and June in 2022. Since then, a few special episodes of the show have been shown, like an EastEnders special that was broadcast in December 2023.

DIY SOS was first announced last year, and the BBC’s schedule now indicates that it will be back starting next month. On October 3, a new series, said to have four episodes, is currently scheduled to debut.

There will also be a new BBC Children In Need special of DIY SOS shown later this year. The special, made in collaboration with Morning Live, is due to air in November during the annual fundraising initiative’s appeal week.

The team reportedly travels to Leicester to assist Isla, who was born with a rare genetic condition, in the first episode of the new series of DIY SOS. According to the synopsis, she aspires to live more independently in her own home.

One of Nick and the entire organization’s “biggest logistical and emotional challenges” is ahead. It’s made fun of that they had to accommodate wheelchair users and a long list of bespoke adaptations for the project.

Last year, Nick confirmed that DIY SOS was coming back. In a post uploaded to Instagram in October, he shared a photo of himself and electrician Billy Byrne. Nick wrote: “@bbcdiysos is back! We’re looking for families from all over and especially keen to hear from people in Scotland and Northern Ireland. “

He has continued to keep fans informed of the show’s progress, and he announced the launch of a new series in March of this year. In his update, Nick shared a selfie with designer Gabrielle Blackman and other people.

Just to let you know that we are currently filming a brand-new series of @bbcdiysos all over the UK, Nick wrote in the caption. With the assistance of an army of kind trades, suppliers, and volunteers, we have already created some wonderful families in fantastic communities.

There are both new faces (especially mine), as well as old faces, and there is a significant rise in community spirit everywhere, he added. Keep an eye out for updates on the series’ release dates and when we’ll be in your area. However, I can tell you right away that it will be emotional and epic.

Fans expressed their excitement over the return of the show at the time. One person wrote, “Fantastic can’t wait, can’t wait.” Another person responded to Nick with, “Love this show. “I’ll look forward to watching,” a third person said. Another responded to the post with, “That’s great news, can’t wait.”

Bonnie Blue speaks out after Sheffield freshers night club ‘attack’

After participating in a covert incident at a nightclub meet and greet, Bonnie Blue has spoken out. The contentious influencer was posing for photos with fans at an early-morning brawl that appeared to be occurring at the Sheffield club’s Onyx nightclub.

Although initial reports suggested Bonnie had been punched, her security team now claim that Bonnie was “slapped,” and the culprit was promptly ejected from the building on Rockingham Street in the city center. As Missy Elliot’s song Get Your Freak On blares in the background, four hefty security guards escort someone across the late-night club’s dance floor.

Before a voice chimes in, “Bonnie Blue has just been punched in the face,” a woman was heard yelling. Bonnie has since kept a low profile about the situation, but a statement has been released following the shocking incident, according to the Daily Star.

Bonnie attended a newcomer’s event in Sheffield (Yorkshire Live/Lyra Auld).

She continued, “Quick update: there was a minor incident last night, but I’m still fine – big thanks to my A plus security for keeping things running smoothly.” No strain, no stress, or sluggishness in my progress. I’m anxiously awaiting my Nottingham homecoming in the next two days.

As Bonnie continues to work on her most recent project, where she intends to mingle with university students, her Bang Bus has been spotted all over the nation on social media. She affectionately dubbed her very own “Bang Bus,” and her choice of vehicle is a blue van.

As she aims to break more records, the vehicle is equipped with a bed, consent forms, and condoms. The nine-stop tour began in Glasgow on Saturday, and it wraps up in London about two weeks later.

However, she had trouble last night when a party started up where she was appearing. Before she allegedly “punched her square in the jaw,” a woman at the event is said to have been chatting to a friend while standing next to Bonnie.

A witness said, “I saw a woman standing next to Bonnie Blue talking to her friend. They turned to Bonnie, turned to their friend, and then struck her in the jaw.

A woman told Bonnie about how she was reinforcing feminism, another witness claimed to Yorkshire Live. We overheard Bonnie telling her security to “get those fat f**** away from me” while we were in the queue behind them. ‘”.

The controversial adult celebrity, who became well-known for sleeping with 1,057 men in a single day, is reportedly in good health, according to the police, who claimed there were “no injuries” related to the incident.

We were called to the Onyx nightclub in Portobello Street, Sheffield, at 1.22am today (Friday, September 19) for a disturbance report. A woman was allegedly assaulted at the nightclub, but she didn’t suffer any harm. At the scene, a woman was taken into custody before being released. In the interim, additional details have been released regarding the incident.

Bonnie will offer “interactive mini-games” and “high-energy DJ sets,” but there is no sexual behavior during her tour of the UK to meet with “barely legal” freshmen. She will also visit university cities across the country.

After a contentious documentary about the former Only Fans content creator, who claimed to have had sex with 1,057 men in 12 hours, the adult star and Channel 4 received a backlash.

Despite new stringent age restrictions designed to prevent children from accessing pornography, the shadow Home Office minister characterized it as “bizarre” that children were able to watch a TV documentary about sex marathon star Bonnie Blue.

Legislators and Ofcom, the broadcasting watchdog, were concerned about Channel 4’s decision to run the program. Despite the channel’s policy that requires at least 16 to register as a user, minors can merely enter their birthdates without using a robust age verification system.

Bonnie nude is depicted in explicit scenes in the program, along with other porn actors, and making adult movies. It appears to contradict the recently passed Online Safety Act, which mandates age verification to prevent underage users from accessing adult websites.

D4vd cancels American tour as murder investigation underway on teen found in car

D4vd has cancelled his tour as an investigation over the murder of a teen gets underway. Celeste Rivas, 15, was found decomposed in the boot of a Tesla registered to the musician.

Sources have claimed that a decision was made on Thursday to cancel the remaining two shows in the States. D4vd had been set to perform tonight in San Francisco, with a second show in Los Angeles on Saturday.

A representative confirmed he was working with law enforcement as they carried out their investigation. “D4vd has been informed about what’s happened. And, although he is still out on tour, he is fully cooperating with the authorities”, a spokesperson for the singer said.

The LAPD told The Mirror US in a statement, “On September 17, 2025, detectives from the Robbery-Homicide Division served a search warrant on the 1300 block of Doheny Place in connection with the death of Celeste Rivas Hernandez. Several items of evidence were recovered and will be analysed by detectives in the coming days.

” This is an ongoing investigation. Investigators are following up on several leads. Once additional information is available to share with the public, it will be released by the Media Relations Division. If anyone has any information about this investigation, they are urged to contact Robbery-Homicide Division (213) 486-6890 or LA Crime Stoppers at (213) 484-6700. “

Celeste was found decomposing in the boot of the vehicle, which was registered to the singer, whose real name is David Anthony Burke. She had been reported missing from Lake Elsinor, California, in April 2024.

Her mother claims she believed the body belonged to her daughter after police described the body, which included a tattoo on her finger reading the word:” Shh…, “as well as her outfit.

Social media sensation Emma Chamberlain has made a heart-breaking admission about her ‘biggest insecurity’.

The 24-year-old YouTube star held a virtual sleepover during her latest podcast episode called ‘Let’s Pretend We’re Having a Sleepover’.

During the 45-minute show, uploaded on September 18th, she played a solo round of truth or dare. As she was recording by herself, Emma looked up random questions and challenges online.

The podcast took a more serious tone when the influencer came across a question asking her to reveal her insecurities, reports the Mirror US.

Speaking on her Anything Goes Podcast, Emma said: “Oh my God, I just realised what my biggest insecurity is.

“My biggest insecurity is my sexualness. I feel insecure, this is so TMI (too much information), but this is what sleepovers are for.”

She went on to explain: “I feel insecure about my ability to be hot to a guy. I feel like I’m not naturally the type to be super flirty [or] super feminine. I’m not a super outwardly sexual person necessarily.

“That’s something that makes me insecure sometimes because I feel like that’s something that boys that I like probably desire.”

Rather than being “flirtatious” with her partners, Emma admitted that she “friendzones” herself.

“It’s almost a defence mechanism [where] I try to be their friend instead of being flirtatious and exciting,” she added.

Whilst the candid revelation might surprise her followers, many are already familiar with Emma’s romantic past.

Most recently, she’s been linked to musician Peter McPoland, with whom she’s been seen on occasion since May 2024.

The duo sparked further dating speculation after they were spotted in matching Wallace and Gromit Halloween costumes last year, but they’ve yet to confirm their relationship status.

Prior to Peter, the YouTube star was notably in a relationship with pop star Role Model, whose real name is Tucker Pillsbury.

The pair went public with their romance in February 2023, and confirmed their split later that year.

This remains Emma’s most high-profile relationship to date, with Role Model even penning a song for Emma titled after her middle name, Frances.

Country music fans who went to Riley Green’s concert in Scotland this week cannot get over what happened when one meet-and-greet ticket holder was brought on stage unexpectedly

Sometimes you simply have to seize the moment when chance presents itself, and one woman stunned crowds in Glasgow this weekend as country star Riley Green invited her onto the stage during one of his concerts. The performer appeared at the O2 Academy in Glasgow on Tuesday this week as part of his Damn Country Music Tour.

Riley has been inviting audience members on stage to perform Ella Langley’s vocals in the cherished track Look Like You Love Me – and some have been genuinely impressive, including one local lass.

Make-up artist Jordan described it as a “dream come true” to share the stage with her favourite country artist. A clip posted on TikTok captured her performance where she appeared completely at ease alongside the star whilst sporting a country ensemble and cowboy boots.

One gig-goer posted footage of the incredible moment and commented: “Riley Green and a fan from meet and greet (who was amazing ) in Glasgow.”

Viewers flocked to respond, with one person declaring: “She’s the best so far,” whilst another concurred: “She did great, I like her outfit.”

Another admirer penned: “You know what? Hell yeah. I love this for this complete stranger. You go girl.”

Whilst one more added: “You smashed it! I didn’t realise you were a fan! I thought you were part of a band.”

Others reckoned the pair resembled a romantic couple. “I would definitely think we were boyfriend and girlfriend after that,” one remarked.

“He’s definitely going to be thinking about her,” another insisted. Jordan says she remains “still on a high” from the evening.

In a clip posted to her personal TikTok account, she revealed that she’d purchased tickets to the gig roughly nine months earlier, and had noticed that he’d previously invited other women onstage to cover for Ella.

She admitted she desperately wanted to get onstage and “manifested it happening”.

She acknowledged that whilst she’s not chasing a professional career or anything of that nature, she explained singing remains a passion of hers and she reckoned it would create an incredible experience.

Jordan revealed she’d planned to enquire at the entrance queue whether she could be considered for selection to perform onstage, though she recognised that loads of other punters would probably be making the same request.

Following her encounter with Riley, she described him as “very tall” and “very handsome”.

Content cannot be displayed without consent

Jordan was questioned about which track she’d prefer to perform onstage, handed over her contact information and was told she might be selected. But to her amazement, she was picked to take the stage.

She confessed her mouth felt “dry as hell” due to nerves before going onstage and that she ‘had to have a word with herself’. “When is this going to happen again? ,” Jordan remarked.

Jordan continued: “I had the best time. It’s really hard to hear so I couldn’t hear myself loads. Lights were so bright so it was kind of hard to see people until they changed.

“I just thought you’ve just got to do it, you’ve just got to go for it. I love singing so much and this is a dream come true.”

Her response came after comedian Ryan Long shared a satirical video. The sketch mocking those who were engaging in the conversation without offending their fan base was subtitled “Actor Not Sure His Charlie Kirk Post Has En Enough Qualifiers” by him.

Although the video didn’t specifically target any particular stars, it appeared as though Anne was getting frustrated. It followed her earlier assertions that “I had never heard of Charlie Kirk before Wednesday night.”

You just said WHAT, and I guess the conversation would have ended where we had been. You’re talking about my friends, and “and” Scuse me.

Her remarks received mixed responses. You’ve never heard of him, yet you make erroneous assumptions, one user said. If you take the time to listen, there is nothing in his words that is controversial.

Last week, Tyler Robinson allegedly used a bolt-action rifle to shoot the activist in the neck. According to reports, he is alleged to have carried out the murder from a nearby campus building’s roof. Robinson’s father recognized him from the CCTV footage that was released by authorities after a 33-hour manhunt and surrendered to the police.

If found guilty, he could now face the death penalty.

Not just Anne, who is not well known, makes comments about the incident. Jimmy Kimmel has a Jimmy Kimmel Live in the states! show will permanently remove itself from ABC in response to his opinion.

The presenter took to the ABC programme to call out what he said he thought was hypocrisy in how Republicans have responded to Kirk’s death. But his actions saw the organisation take offence and pull his show from air.

Andrew Alford, president of Nexstar’s broadcasting division, said it “strongly objects” to Kimmel’s comments, with Donald Trump agreeing with the decision to axe the show.

Truth Social, the US president, said, “congratulations to ABC, and Kimmel has zero talent.” Not everyone, however, agreed, and famous people expressed their disapproval.
