slammed

This Morning fans rushed to social media to complain about Alison Hammond’s constant mispronunciation of rock and roll legend Elvis during her chat with Priscilla Presley

Of late Alison Hammond has had nothing but praise heaped on her as she became the nation’s sweetheart. But it looks as though her run of good luck may be coming to an end as she has found herself on the receiving end of harsh criticism by viewers of This Morning.

The 50 year old TV presenter, who had her first taste of fame back in 2002 while appearing on Big Brother, was introducing her next guest when viewers noticed that she was constantly mis-pronouncing the name of Priscilla Presley’s legendary ex husband – Elvis. Instead she kept referring to him as Alvis.

Priscilla attended the popular daytime TV show and sat on the infamous sofa with Dermot O’Leary and Alison to promote her latest memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis.

But before Priscilla started talking about her life with the rock and roll legend before and after their split, fans felt the need to air their feelings on X. One person said: “Who is Alvis, Alison?”

Another added: “Just waiting for Priscilla to ask who the hell is this person Alvis you keep mentioning.” A third person joked: “She fell in love with Alvis. Good job Elvis didn’t find out about that!”

Meanwhile a fourth added: “I’d love to see Priscilla correct Alison on name pronunciation.” “Just waiting for Priscilla to ask who the hell is this person Alvis you keep mentioning,” said a fifth.

And sharing the same sentiment, a sixth chimed in saying: “Wasn’t Alvis one of those Chipmunks?” During her interview on This Morning, Priscilla opened up on the moment she first met the iconic star, who sadly passed away in 1977 at the age of 42 from a cardiac arrest.

The star, 80, was only 14 at the time she met Elvis in 1959, who was 10 years her senior at the time. By 1968, the pair welcomed their only daughter into the world, Lisa Marie Presley.

But due to his demanding career as a rock and roll icon, hectic travelling schedule and a string of infidelities, Priscilla finally had enough of the marriage.

And it was at this point she embarked on an affair in 1972 and finalised their divorce the following year. After her divorce, Priscilla met Brazilian screenwriter Marco Garibaldi and they welcomed a son named Navarone, in 1987.

In her latest memoir, the businesswoman and author recalls the moment Elvis was considering hiring a hitman to murder her boyfriend, Mike Stone who worked as a karate Instructor.

Elvis struggled with the idea of Priscilla being with another man she entered into a relationship with Mike while legally married.

But this came after she found out a host of women had been sending the singer letters to their home address, and this apparently, was enough proof she needed that their marriage had come to an end.

In the book, according to Fox News, she wrote: “When I turned the key in the mailbox, however, what poured out wasn’t bills or junk mail. The mailbox was stuffed full of letters from girls. I finally held written proof of what I’d always feared. I was deeply hurt, but I was also furious. I called Elvis and demanded an explanation.”

She continued: “When that tactic failed, he resorted to saying the girls were all lying. This time, though, turning the tables didn’t work. If Elvis was having affairs that were none of my business, then it was none of his business what I was doing. The close friendship that Mike and I had developed turned into an affair.”

But on learning about her affair, she revealed: “Elvis found the thought of me with another man unbearable. In the weeks after my departure, he told the guys that Mike had to die. He even asked Joe [Esposito] to find a hit man. Eventually, Elvis was talked out of eliminating Mike. Joe warned me to be careful. When I offered to bring Lisa [Marie Presley] to Vegas for one of Elvis’s shows, Joe advised against it.

Priscilla added: “Seeing me might set Elvis off. Over time, and with a lot of persuasion from his father and the guys, Elvis gradually calmed down and gave up the idea of killing Mike, thank God.”

Taylor Swift’s first manager speaks out against her in new Channel 4 documentary charting superstar’s success amid multiples feuds along the way

Taylor Swift’s‘ former manager has slammed her for using fans to fight her battles in a new documentary to be broadcast on Channel 4. Taylor asked fans to let their feelings be known after her former record label boss Scott Borchetta sold her back catalogue to Scooter Braun for more than $300 million (£222m) in June 2019. It meant Taylor lost control over her musical legacy.

Taylor wrote on social media: “Please let Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun know how you feel about this. Scooter also manages several artists who I really believe care about other artists and their work. Please ask them for help with this – I’m hoping that maybe they can talk some sense into the men who are exercising tyrannical control over someone who just wants to play the music she wrote.”

However, Scooter hit back, claiming his family received death threats. Now Channel 4’s new documentary sees her first manager Rick Barker slam her behaviour.

He says, “No one stole her music, no one made her sign a bad record deal, those were the types of record deals everyone signed at that time and Scooter Braun made a very good business decision. The decision Taylor made to turn the fans loose on Scott and Scooter with only half of the conversation…

“I was a little disappointed, death threats started happening, people started showing up at people’s houses and this was something that should have been discussed behind the scenes. They are called fans for a reason – it’s short for fanatics.”

The show also features interviews with songwriter Robert Ellis Orrall, who was one of the first to witness Taylor’s ability to turn out hit songs. He worked with her in 2003 when she was just 13 to record a demo featuring three tracks called Invisible, Just South Of Knowing Why and Need You Now.

Recalling their studio sessions, Robert tells the documentary, “Right from the get-go Taylor directed the session. We wrote three songs in the first two days that we were together and two of those are on the debut album, Taylor Swift. After we’d written a few songs, her dad said, ‘Here’s another 15 that she wrote.’”

Holding up a CD for the camera, Robert reveals he has another 16 songs written by Taylor that have never been heard by the public.

“I have tons of these from way back,” he says on the show, which features interviews with lots of Taylor’s early collaborators. “Here are 16 songs copyright 2003, the same year we started writing. None of those are anything you’ve ever heard.”

While Robert was co-writing with Taylor, he credits her with bringing all the creative ideas, saying she was a powerhouse even in her early teens. When he was working with Taylor, Robert quickly recognised the huge star she would become. Robert was one of the co-writers on her early track Place In This World and he was confident it would speak to fans. “Every kid feels that way and millions of kids could relate to that,” says Robert. “She had a plan and she wasn’t going to go off that plan. She was not going to be stopped. People were telling her ‘no’ left and right… She was having none of that.”

Robert helped Taylor get discovered, encouraging her to sing at The Bluebird Cafe in Nashville where he had a regular slot. On that stage she was spotted by Scott Borchetta who signed her to his new Big Machine Records label.

In the documentary, audio footage of Taylor talking about her big break is played. She says, “I’m looking out and seeing all these faces and there is one guy that is really getting it and has his eyes closed and I kept noticing him and after the show he said, ‘Hi, I’m Scott Borchetta.’ He goes, ‘The good news is that I want to set up my own record labels and I would like you to consider being one of my first artists.’” The pair worked together for 12 years and released six albums.

This year, Taylor, now 35, announced her engagement to American football star Travis Kelce. And even her former manager Rick is wishing her well. He tells the film crew, “I hope what comes next for Taylor is that she has found her person and that she gets to experience the things that most people get to experience and that some people give the girl a break.”

RENAULT’S beloved Clio has been reinvented for its sixth generation – and drivers in France have been left “dumbstruck” by its surprising new look. 

The new Renault Clio 6, unveiled this week in Munich, has sparked outrage in France, with some claiming the car is unrecognisable.

One critic said it looked like Ford, another likened it to a Nissan and a third claimed it assembled a seat. 

Several compared it to a Mazda, while others thought they spotted hints of Alfa Romeo or Peugeot. 

Yet they all seemed to agree the Clio 6 does not look like a Renault and in a country with a 126-year attachment to the brand, the absence of its typical features has gone down badly. 

“The discovery of this new Renault has left us dumbstruck,” said Caradisac, the car website. 

“Unrecognisable,” said Capital, the financial magazine. “You can detect a bit of Peugeot, a pinch of Ford, a touch of Mazda and a hint of Seat.” It warned the design “risks disappointing” car-loving readers.

“You don’t change a winning team,” said Les Echos, the financial daily. “However, that is what Renault has done with its new Clio.”

Social media erupted with debate, especially over comparisons to Mazda. One Mazda owner joked: “The new Renault 6 does remind me … of a Mazda 3. This can’t be a bad thing, right?”

The row highlights Renault’s cultural and economic significance in France.

The Clio may not match the legendary Renault 4L or Citroën 2CV, but it has been a modern industrial success story and a familiar sight on French roads.

Over 17 million Clios have been sold since its 1989 launch. 

It was Europe’s second best-selling car last year, behind the Dacia Sandero, another Renault group vehicle, and the top-selling model in France in the first half of 2025. 

“It’s an old love story,” said Challenges, the financial website.

The Clio has even inspired clubs, online forums, and, controversially, a survey in 2023 found 25% of respondents had had sex in their car at least once – the Clio topping the list ahead of the BMW 3 and Audi A4.

The new Clio 6 advertising slogan, “Love redesigned,” hints at the “more spacious and generous” interior Capital mentioned.

Politics and economics also loom large. Renault is France’s only remaining national carmaker, with the state holding 15% to ward off takeover attempts. 

Meanwhile, rivals Peugeot and Citroën are now part of Stellantis, headquartered in the Netherlands.

Conservative voices have criticised Renault’s decision to make the Clio 6 in Turkey, while environmentalists are unimpressed by the hybrid, rather than fully electric, engine option.

Renault insists the car is aimed at a fast-changing market. CEO François Provost said his aim was to rival Chinese carmakers, whom he described as “the best.”

IT’S can be hard to choose an outfit to wear to a wedding.

And one woman found that choosing a colour other than white isn’t the only rule to stick to – as she raised eyebrows with her dress choice.

Noelle took to her Instagram page to share a video of herself with her other half, as she wrote over the top: “This is your sign to ask him out first…”

“Worst case? A story. Best case? A boyfriend,” she added in the caption.

The clip showed the pair grinning at each other and embracing, as they prepared to head off to some nuptials.

But it was Noelle’s dress choice that led to her coming under fire – specifically the neckline.

The maxi dress featured a low-cut neckline, which left little to the imagination as it clung to her curves.

And the comments section saw people taking aim at Noelle for her outfit choice, with one writing: “Dress on backwards or is that her low self esteem hanging out?”

“Dress is vulgar,” another added.

“Seems desperate for attention,” a third sighed.

“Imagine going to a friend’s wedding and you use it as an opportunity to make it all about your own rack!” someone else scathed.

“Sorry horrendous dress for a wedding! No respect!” another added.

“Put your tata’s away. What the heck?” someone else questioned.

But others defended Noelle, insisting she’s perfectly within her rights to wear exactly what she wants – when she wants.

“She can’t help having big boobs and she’s allowed to wear a dress with a cute neckline. Hope that helps!” one wrote.

“I wanted people showing up to my wedding in their hottest outfits, because I’m not insecure and I want my girlfriends to look and feel good every chance they get,” another added.

“There were some short short dresses, boobs out and guess what, we ALL had a BLAST out there on the dance floor all night long.

“Boobs exist, who cares?”

5 clothing mistakes women with big boobs make

Do you have DD+ boobs and struggle to find clothes that fit?

Fabulous’ Fashion Editor Clemmie Fieldsend has shared her top tips on clothes to avoid if you have a big bust.

1. Say no to the polo

High necklines such a roll necks are to be avoided if you have a fuller bust.  Closed chests and necks make your boobs appear bigger and can sometimes give you the dreaded uni-boob. 

Try wearing V-necks, sweetheart, off the shoulder or scooped necklines that elongate the look of your neck and decolletage. 

2. Bigger isn’t better

Frills, draping and excess fabric to cover your boobs only makes them look bigger.  They make you look too top heavy and add unnecessary bulk on your top half which distracts from your face.

Instead keep things clean and simple with sleek fabrics and designs with open necklines. 

3. Skip slogan tees

Slogan or printed T-shirts are having a moment with fashion fans falling over themselves to get Ganni Tees, or their high street dupes. 

The key is to make sure you’re not buying a top with thick, heavy paint plastered on as the print. These will stretch over your fuller chests and split, resulting in a messy look and a ruined T-shirt that’s now a waste of money. 

4. Avoid crop tops

Tops that are shorter in length or crop tops should be swerved if you had a big chest. You’ll find you spend most of your time pulling it down and also it messes with the proportions of your body.

If you have a big bust and a crop top on, they cut you off in the middle, which makes your bust look even bigger and in worse cases give the illusion that your chest meets your waist. 

A longer top (including anything from a T-shirt to a jumper) will create the right proportions.

5. Body-wrong

Straight or tight fitted dresses are brilliant at showing off your figure.  However if you have a big bust that isn’t in proportion with the rest of your shape they’re a no-go.

If you have a fuller bust you can create balance and a defined hourglass silhouette by wearing A-line dresses or skirts.

“These comments didn’t pass the vibe check… Girl how do you get them to stay like THAT?!?!” a third laughed.

“The amount of prudes in the comments is wild,” someone else said.

“I don’t think anybody would be saying anything about the neckline if you had a small chest… but because you’re well endowed, everybody’s p**sed.

“Seems like it’s more of their own insecurity and not yours. You look stunning in that dress! Do you boo!”

“The body shaming in these comments is NOT IT!” another added.

“The dress is gorgeous and having larger breasts and wanting them to shine isn’t a crime.

“Also most clothing isn’t made for bustier girls. You are beautiful queen.

“Keep wearing whatever the hell makes you feel beautiful!”

CELEBS Go Dating fans were left unimpressed last night when new recruit Donna Preston’s date turned X-rated.

Comedian Donna, 39, joined the Celebs Go Dating agency in Tuesday night’s episode.

She was thrown straight in at the deep end when she was blindfolded and sent on a date with Damian.

After he asked if she had pets, Donna replied: “I’ve got a cat.”

She then told Damian her pet is called Mr Big, to which he replied: “Mr Big? A nice, big pussy.”

But, rather than being turned off by his obvious innuendo, Donna quizzed Damian on his sex drive.

After claiming it’s “through the roof”, Damian admitted to having had “threesomes and a fivesome”.

Donna said: “A fivesome? Isn’t that a g*** b***? How was that?”

Damian replied: “It was good, I enjoyed it.”

But some viewers at home didn’t enjoy the exchange, with one writing on social media: “omg at Donna’s blind date tonight …. Their conversation was so risqué lol …. I was flabbergasted.”

And another said: “Donna & Damian are a bit much. Who has those chats on a first date?”

Ahead of her Celebs Go Dating debut, Donna spoke to The Sun about her previous relationships – confessing she once dated a murderer who is now in jail.

She said: “I’ve been in two long-term relationships and when I got out of that I went on a date and they ended up being a murderer.

“A real life murderer! He’s in jail though, so that’s nice.”

Southwest Airlines is being criticised for failing to communicate changes to its five-hour delayed flight as two disabled women were left behind as the flight took off without them

An airline has been slammed after two women who are both blind were left behind by a plane and told by staff “we forgot about you.”

Southwest Airlines is being criticised for failing to communicate changes to its five-hour delayed flight from New Orleans to Orlando on July 24.

Friends Camille Tate and Sherri Brun were left stranded after the pair were at the airport waiting by the gate, checking the airline’s app for any updates.

However, they were the only two people on the flight when they boarded. “You’re the only two people on this flight because they forgot about you,” Sherri Bun said the two were told.

According to the airline, because the flight was delayed, nearly all of the passengers on the original flight were re-booked on another Southwest flight to Orlando that departed a little earlier from a different gate. It comes after a furious tourist was just ‘offered £21 by easyJet’ after being stranded in Turkey.

Sherri and Camillie were the only two passengers not re-booked on the flight. They even admitted they had no idea another flight was an option.

“Nobody at B6 told us anything. Nobody came to get us at B4. The time passed,” said Sherri. “That airplane took off, and our boarding pass had not been swiped,” said Camille.

The pair remains stunned that they weren’t on the flight. They want the airline to improve its communication to people with disabilities.

“The way they help their customers that require additional assistance needs to change. There needs to be follow through,” said Sherri.

“There needs to be some improvement in how they communicate with their passengers especially those that have disabilities,” Camille added.

The friends were offered an £80 voucher as compensation for the delay, but weren’t eligible for a full refund as the flight departed.

Southwest Airlines has since apologised for the embarrassing incident. It said: “The Customers were scheduled on Flight 2637. Although it ran almost five hours late that day, it remained their same flight number throughout.

“We issued the $100 vouchers as compensation for the delayed travel, but a refund is not available if a Customer actually completes the flight.

“It appears the confusion about a plane coming back to get them might be because many of the Customers on that flight were accommodated on another MCO-bound flight that left a little earlier from a nearby gate. These two Customers were not re-booked on that flight, so their assigned gate never changed. Our records show they flew to MCO on the airplane that had been parked at their original gate.

“As far as accessibility policies, all of our information is found on the Disability-Related Accommodations section of the Help Center. For Customers who are blind, escort and navigation assistance is available from the airport curb to and from gates and between gates for connecting flights.

“To receive assistance, Customers must identify themselves and the type of assistance they require to a Southwest Employee when they arrive at the airport, at any connection points, and when they land at their destination. In the event of a gate change, our Employees are responsible for ensuring all Customers who need assistance reach the new gate.

“We apologise for the inconvenience. Southwest is always looking for ways to improve our Customers’ travel experiences, and we’re active in the airline industry in sharing best practices about how to best accommodate Passengers with disabilities.”

This world-famous beach is loved by many for its vibrant atmosphere and rolling waves, but that hasn’t stopped some visitors from branding it thoroughly disappointing

One of the world’s most famous beaches has been named as one of the biggest let-downs. Through examining over 100 internationally celebrated beaches via travel reviews, Ibiza Summer Villas discovered that Bondi Beach leaves many visitors thoroughly underwhelmed.

Each location received ratings based on reviews, Google and TikTok search popularity, plus yearly precipitation levels at the destination. The study showed that Australia’s Bondi Beach tops the charts for disappointment, with holidaymakers branding it “overrated” and “disappointing”.

This stretch of coastline claimed the crown for most underwhelming when comparing poor reviews against search popularity, though the figure remained modest at merely 2.7% of reviews describing it as “disappointing” or “overrated” alongside 447,000 TikTok searches, reports the Express. It comes after a warning to Brit tourists planning all-inclusive holidays to Spain.

Excessive crowds, heavy commercialisation, and visitor exhaustion feature prominently, securing its position at number five on the overhyped rankings.

Bondi Beach enjoys worldwide recognition for its waves, golden sands and naturally, the countless holidaymakers who descend upon this Sydney hotspot annually.

The area boasts tidal pools, a thriving food and drink scene featuring numerous cafés and pubs, plus an array of boutique and chain retailers. Yet for all its splendour, this coastal gem doesn’t appeal to everyone.

Tourists expressed frustration with the masses, with one individual posting on TripAdvisor: “I got the feeling that everyone who comes here comes for ‘been there, done that’ experience only. Crowded and overrated.”

One disgruntled visitor remarked: “Probably the most overrated beach on the planet. Crowded full of arrogant people and feels like everyone is in a bad mood.” Another added: “I can’t see anything attractive about Bondi, except possibly closeness to the city. The place is so heavily overpopulated, with apartments everywhere you look. Concrete is everywhere. Where is the nature?”.

However, not everyone shared this sentiment, with some tourists being completely taken aback by the beach’s beauty.

One such tourist enthused: “It’s a vibrant, busy beach which is perfect for surfing and swimming. There are plenty of places to eat and drink along the beach and different walks that you can take along the coastline.” Another penned: “Bondi Beach is an absolute icon! The golden sand, rolling waves, and buzzing atmosphere make it a must-visit in Sydney.

“The surf is amazing, but it can be dangerous if you don’t follow the flags and listen to the lifeguards-they’re there for a reason!”.

Audiences were unimpressed when Rachel Burden and Ben Boulos started giggling over a news segment about a criminal act on BBC Breakfast

BBC Breakfast hosts Rachel Burden and Ben Boulos have come under fire for laughing during a segment on a piece of art being damaged by tourists in Italy.

The controversy unfolded during Sunday’s (15 June) episode of the chat show when the presenting pair returned to the red sofa to discuss some of the day’s trending stories. One of them featured viral CCTV footage from the Palazzo Maffei museum in Verona, Italy, which showed a couple damaging a Van Gogh-style chair adorned with hundreds of crystals.

Ben introduced the clip, asking: “Now have you ever visited a museum and been tempted, even though you’re not supposed to, to touch a piece of art and thought better of it?”

As the CCTV footage began to play, Rachel added: “Well just watch this because this is CCTV footage of a couple who decided to try out a chair.”

“This was a Van Gogh style chair covered in hundreds of crystals inside a museum in Verona,” she explained, as the video showed the chair beginning to sway.

“It wasn’t supposed to look like that. It wasn’t supposed to be wonky. But as you can see…” Rachel continued, as Ben burst out laughing on air.

“The man decided ‘I might as well try it out’ and it immediately collapses,” she said. “At which point, him and his wife say ‘quick! get out of here!’”

Ben was still giggling when he added: “It now tells a story. It tells a new story. Art evolves doesn’t it?” Rachel replied: “They’ve added, you can say, to the art work.”

The hosts went on to comment on the aftermath, with Rachel pointing out: “The couple apparently fled the museum before staff noticed what had happened.

“I mean quite how sort of vigorously this couple is now being pursued by the authorities I do not know, they certainly left their mark.”

Ben laughed again, telling viewers: “They did, indeed. Imagine that moment of horror when it happened and you thought ‘Oh dear, we’re in trouble’.”

Rachel chimed in: “Then realised that it has been beamed around the world on news programmes.”

“Exactly. Like this,” Ben replied. But the presenting duo’s jokey tone didn’t sit well with many watching from home. Viewers quickly took to social media to voice their disappointment with the hosts for ‘trivialising’ the destruction of a valuable piece of art.

One person took to X saying: “I hope they catch the couple from the museum. Also don’t understand why BBC Breakfast are treating it as a laugh and a joke.”

Another added: “Seem to have totally skipped over the fact the guy destroyed a piece of art… He had no right to try it out! #BBCBreakfast.”

This comes after Ben admitted to being embarrassed last year when he mistakenly thought a guest was disagreeing with him on air, but she actually had a brain disorder that was causing involuntary muscle spasms, shaking her face and neck.

He told fellow BBC Breakfast host Sarah Campbell: “The thing about this job that we do is that if you say something wrong, put your foot in it, it can very easily go viral.”

SIR Keir Starmer yesterday doubled down on sanctioning Israeli ministers, despite being savagely rapped by the US.

Donald Trump’s administration hit out at Britain after the PM broke with tradition and imposed a travel ban and asset freeze on two far-right members of Israel’s government, Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich.

In a scathing attack on the move, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said the sanctions “do not advance American efforts to achieve a ceasefire, bring all hostages home and end the war”.

Mr Rubio warned Britain “not to forget who the real enemy is”.

The US ambassador to the UK said he “fully supported” Mr Rubio’s slap down and warned the PM against “impeding constructive dialogue”.

Ben-Gvir, who is pushing to annex the West Bank and wants to permanently expel Palestinians from Gaza, said: “The American administration is a moral compass in the face of the confusion of some Western countries that choose to appease terrorist organizations like Hamas.

“Israel is not afraid — we will continue to fight terrorism.

“History will judge the Chamberlains of our time.”

At PMQs Sir Keir defended the sanctions as a bid to “uphold human rights and defend the prospect of a two-state solution”.

The PM said: “Acting alongside our allies, we have sanctioned individuals responsible for inciting appalling settler violence and expansion.

“We will continue to support all efforts to secure a ceasefire, the release of all hostages despicably held by Hamas and the humanitarian aid that needs to surge in.

MAFS Australia’s Adrian Araouzou has riled up fans after posting a video listing his “high standards” for his future wife.

In a video titled “Unpopular opinion 💁🏻‍♂️”, which he uploaded to Instagram, Adrian was seen eating food on a camp chair by a fire as he wrote across the screen.

He wrote: “High standards because I don’t want my kids to have a mum who’s drunk every weekend, thinks it’s ok to disrespect their body, looks at doing anything for their man as a chore, has no faith in God, or prioritises material things over nature’s beauty. ”

Fans weren’t best pleased with the message, and made sure he knew it in the comments.

“what do you bring to the table though…” said one, while another wrote: “Misogynistic manosphere springs to mind… Andrew Tate!”

“Good luck with that.. maybe u should join the priesthood.. no woman would touch u now with your attitude,” noted a third.

“You must also meet these requirements. Not only your future wife!” wrote a fourth.

The 31-year-old reality star appeared on the 12th season of the dating show favourite, marrying Awhina Rutene in the experiment.

However, while they initially seemed to like each other when they met at the altar, things went south quickly when Awhina revealed she had a six-year-old son.

He later became central to cheating speculation with another bride, Sierah, after they were seen playing footsie under the table at a dinner.

While they didn’t actually cheat, Adrian later left the experiment for a small period of time, leaving Awhina before eventually returning to complete the show.

He also was criticised for making his new wife cry in other scenes after refusing to take part in writing a confession letter.

At the Final Vows the pair decided to break things off, thinking they wouldn’t work.

However, in a strange twist, before the show was over they had their mind and opted to give their relationship a proper shot away from the series.

Unfortunately they didn’t work out, and since the show aired they have both remained single.

Fan favourite show Ginny and Georgia has returned to Netflix for an all new series which sees more dramatic storylines than ever but not all viewers are happy with the new episodes

Ginny and Georgia fans have all said the same thing about brother’s age leap in new series. The show has returned to Netflix for its third series, which viewers have waited two years for. Season three picks up just hours on from season two’s finale – but not everyone looks the same.

Many have pointed out that Ginny’s brother Austin has grown up a lot since the last season. Fans have noticed that the actor who plays Austin looks a lot older than nine-years-old which is what he is meant to be in the show.

Actor Diesel La Torraca who plays Austin is actually 14-year-old in real life so is five years older than the character he is playing. Many took to social media to point out the ridiculous age gap thanks to the huge break between filming the two series.

The show has not aired for two years but has picked up where it left off in season two meaning there should be no age change in the character. Taking to X, one viewer wrote: “I fear ginny and georgia is going to have to recast the little brother because this is deeply unserious.”

As a second said: “#ginnyandgeorgiaS3 know they wrong for having this 14 year old boy play his 9 year old character. They let too much time pass in between filming and it’s p***ing me off.”

“It’s so ridiculous cause austin being so young made georgia’s reckless choices hit harder. Now he looks the same age ginny’s supposed to be playing and it just doesn’t give the same effect,” a fan pointed out.

As a fourth added: “Netflix should stop taking 2+ years between seasons because wdym these two scenes are supposed to be only a few months apart? #ginnyandgeorgia.”

Diesel took to his own TikTok page back in May and shared a video of himself which he captioned: “My tryna convince people that Austin is still 9.” The Australian-American actor has acted in several roles already despite just being in his teens which include in The Secrets She Keeps, Lambs of God, La Brea and Little Monsters.

Actress Antonia Gentry who plays the main character of Ginny commented on how quickly the actor who plays her little brother has grown up.

When season 3 filming began in 2024 she shared a side-by-side photo of herself and Diesel after filming season 1 compared with now which showed how much he had grown.

He was originally much shorter than the actress and now he towers above her. Ginny and Georgia first arrived on Netflix back in 2021 and quickly became a fan-loves show.

It is now in its third series and has got even more dramatic than before. Series two left off with a murder which mum-of-two Georgia is now being accused of, despite it actually being her son who committed the crime.

LAYING “snog, marry, avoid” with colleagues at work could be sexual harassment, a tribunal has ruled. 

The “crass” and “inappropriate” game may breach the Equality Act, an Employment judge said. 

The risqué quiz involves naming three people and then asking a person to pick which one you would like to kiss, which one you would get married to and which one you would steer clear of altogether.

In the BBC hit comedy Gavin and Stacey, Pam, Mick, Gavin and Smithy played a version of it featuring celebrities during a car ride from Essex to Wales. 

However, the tribunal found it may break workplace laws. 

The ruling came in the case of a police officer who sued Derbyshire Police after a female colleague involved him in the game — using mugshots of sex workers. 

The officer candidly admitted to the tribunal that she had “jokingly” played the game with co-workers and included PC Shafarat Mohammed in their discussion.

PC Mohammed claimed that during the discussion in May or June 2022 he was only shown images of black women and was asked what he liked about one of them. 

He said he was “embarrassed” and “offended” by the questioning and felt it was inappropriate. 

The tribunal judge said: “We agree that the questions were inappropriate.” 

However, the tribunal found there was no racial or religious element to it as the sex workers were of varying ethnicities.

PC Mohammed lost his case for racial and religious discrimination and harassment.

BONNIE Blue has been slammed for “promoting rape culture” and labelled “vile” after revealing her sickest ever sex stunt.

The adult ‘star’ has already hit headlines with previous desperate stunts including apparently breaking the world record by sleeping with 1,057 men in just 12 hours.

She then challenged Spring Break ‘barely legal’ college boys to see who could give her the best orgasm – with a pledge to pay for the tuition of the ‘winner’.

But now Bonnie has announced her most depraved stunt to date, immediately sparking disgust from people online.

She revealed her next challenge during an interview on Kat Baker’s podcast – leaving the interviewer lost for words as she did so.

“What challenges do you have next?” Kat asked Bonnie during their conversation on The Kat Baker Show.

With Bonnie replying that she’s called it “Bonnie Blue’s petting zoo”, and said it will be taking place on June 15.

Explaining the sickening idea, she said that she’s going to be naked and tied up in a glass box, which would be “open for the public” to do basically whatever they want to her.

When Kat asked “where” the box was going to be, Bonnie continued that she’ll be in “the centre of London” but “in a house”.

“Oh ok, because I was thinking like David Blaine,” Kat said, referring to the U.S. illusionist’s stunt in 2003, when he was confined in a transparent glass box, suspended 30ft over the River Thames, for 44 days.

While Bonnie said that she’d love to be in the box on the back of a lorry, with the abhorrent sex acts performed on her as she travelled through London, she mused that it was “probably illegal”.

Making the planned event even more repulsive, Bonnie told Kat that she wanted to beat her own record by “doing 2,000”.

Unsurprisingly, the comments on the Instagram video of Kat and Bonnie’s conversation took aim at the abominable plan – and even questioned the 26-year-old’s mental state to have come up with such a vulgar concept.

While another insisted she was “promoting rape culture” – which Fabulous Digital writer and rape survivor Kate Kulniece agreed with, as she said Bonnie’s latest stunt ends up “pushing victims like myself deeper into the abyss of trauma”.

“Her twisted antics are damaging impressionable young teenage boys – half of whom have been exposed to pornography by the age of 13.

“These very same boys will grow up thinking this is normal, this is what women want – and what we’re here for.”

In the comments on the Instagram post, one person insisted Bonnie has “no soul”

Sometimes I wonder if Satan is actually Bonnie in disguise

Instagram commenter

“She has no soul,” one wrote, while someone else called Bonnie an “attention craving sicko”, and another said she’s the “most disgusting in the world … by far”.

“She really needs help,” another agreed, adding: “For f**ks sake, it’s vile!”

“Her value as a woman is so low that she is offering her entire body for free,” someone else sighed.

“And we’re ok glorifying prostitution on media platforms for kids to see….? I genuinely think the future’s done,” someone else wrote.

“Sometimes I wonder if Satan is actually Bonnie in disguise,” another slammed.

Why Bonnie Blue MUST be banned from social media

By Kate Kulniece, Fabulous Digital writer and rape survivor

When it comes to sex, I like to consider myself open-minded – and non-judgemental.

But the vile, attention-seeking OnlyFans porn star Bonnie Blue makes me sick to my stomach.

When the 26-year-old first hit the headlines with her gruesome stunts in March 2024, I’ll admit – I didn’t pay much attention to her.

But as the challenges became more perverted and she eventually bedded over 1,000 men in just 12 hours, I became not just disappointed – but angry.

Her most recent – and most disgusting – stunt to date, of being tied up in a glass box for men to fulfil their sick desires, is wrong and worrying on so many levels.

The number of rapes being reported to police are at a record high, with a shocking 1 in 4 women, 1 in 6 children and 1 in 18 men falling victim to this horrific crime.

It’s an alarming rise and many believe, as I do, that the sexual assaults are fuelled by access to toxic online culture – with Bonnie seemingly leading the way with her vile sex marathon stunts.

As a young woman who is a survivor of two rapes – aged just 13 and 23 – and who has been sexually harassed on countless occasions, I feel sick and enraged.

In a society where sexual abuse, violence against women and misogyny have become a widespread pandemic, we should ban people like Bonnie from social media.

Her foul and obscene challenges, which are becoming worse every time, are a slap in the face to millions of rape survivors like myself.

Not only are her videos a constant reminder of the trauma and pain that was forced upon us, but she also teaches perverts that women are a piece of meat – and nothing else.

Despite repeatedly insisting she empowers women, Bonnie promotes a culture in which women are passed around by men like toys.

She also plays into the narrative that our husbands, fathers and sons can’t control their sexual urges – or shouldn’t have to.

As a vocal multi millionaire, Bonnie may think this is all harmless fun, paying her many assistants to keep her out of real harm’s way.

But in reality, the sex-insatiable Bonnie is promoting dangerous rape culture and pushing victims like myself deeper into the abyss of trauma.

Her twisted antics, and those of rival Lily Phillips and Aussie OF star Annie Knight, are damaging impressionable young teenage boys – half of whom have been exposed to pornography by the age of 13.

These very same boys will grow up thinking this is normal, this is what women want – and what we’re here for.

There are countless things I look forward to, but the day the sick content creator finally gets banned from platforms cannot come soon enough.

However, someone else questioned why Bonnie was even being allowed to speak.

“Why the f**k is she being given platforms like podcasts and broadcasts to act like she is some kind of trailblazer or icon?” they raged.

“She is sitting there saying her next challenge is to be tied up in public so people can touch her and another woman is sitting across from her acting like that is something worth clapping for.

“That alone is disgusting and degrading…

“This is dragging us backwards.

“And any woman who claps for this kind of behaviour has failed as a woman.”

“Never been so revolted in my life,” another agreed.

Even more shockingly, there were also some comments from monstrous people saying they were keen to get inside the box with Bonnie.

“I’ll be in the box,” one boasted.

“See you there,” another added.

As a third questioned: “Are girls welcome to join in too?”

The Palace of Versailles is one of Europe’s most popular tourist attractions – but it seems to be a victim of its own success, with visitors claiming they felt like ‘sheep’

Over tourism is rapidly becoming an issue in top European countries like France and Spain. A recent study by the experts at Holidu scoured Tripadvisor comments, scouting for frequent references to “overcrowded” or “too crowded”. The majestic Versailles Palace, renowned and flocked by tourists in France, emerged as the prime example, with over five per cent of reviews mentioning one of the words.

This former seat of royalty, nestled just outside Paris, is maybe best-known as Marie Antoinette’s home. Boasting the illustrious Hall of Mirrors and lush gardens, this historical gem draws close to 15 million visitors each year, sparking a debate on whether it’s reached its visitor saturation point.

One exasperated Tripadvisor user, ‘Wanderer35996’, lamented: “The building was stifling. With the overcrowding (literally could not move, much less see anything), it was miserable.”

Another, ‘ATLpch’, recalled the experience, sharing: “We were all herded like cattle through the same palace rooms and single passage doorways for about an hour.”

Yet another compared their visit to an unwieldy procession, commenting: “Once inside, there was a conga line of people who moved through the palace like sheep. It was a circus!”

A different tourist remarked on the irony of the situation, observing: “The amount of people kills all the pleasure. Even though the place is beautiful, it’s hard to enjoy and admire it.”

However, amidst the critiques, the Palace did enchant some of its guests, , reports the Express. A charmed visitor confessed they “fell in love with the Palace”.

And yet another delighted guest heaped praise, describing it as a “must visit” while saying: “it was amazing to see the Palace in all its glory. It was outstanding”.

Europe’s most congested tourist spots:

THE Met Gala has been slammed for offering up a “boring” collection of looks on Monday night after Taylor Swift and Timothee Chalamet were among several A-list stars to skip out on this year’s event.

Celebrities walking the blue carpet received backlash from fashion fans on social media as people begged for better outfits – with only Diana Ross and Rihanna bringing glamor and drama to the night, viewers said.

Rihanna had stunned fans earlier in the evening by annoucing her pregnancy with her third child with pictures snapped as she was walked into a hotel before the event.

Her partner A$AP Rocky, who was co-chair of this year’s gala, walked the red carpet alone, with Rihanna keeping fans waiting for hours before she finally emerged from the hotel again after 10pm.

Diana Ross was also praised her look as she returned to the gala for the first time in 22 years.

It comes as:

Co-chairs Pharrell Williams and Lewis Hamilton both wore white suits custom-made by Louis Vuitton.

A-list stars such as Hailey Bieber, Kerry Washington, Priyanka Chopra, and Anne Hathaway ditched the typical flowy ball gowns for more structured suit-like outfits.

Kendall Jenner and Kim Kardashian both wore tailored tops and skirts, with Kim adding a half-dipped hat which covered part of her face.

Sabrina Carpenter and K-Pop singer Lisa each sported Louis Vuitton bodices with a blazer top.

Sabrina walked the carpet alone in a burgundy outfit with matching heels, a change from the 2024 gala, where she wore a long black dress with her now ex-boyfriend, Barry Keoghan.

The rather simplistic outfits sharply contrasted last year’s theme, The Garden of Time.

Last year, guests showed up wearing colorful, extravagant gowns and bold hairstyles.

The change of pace left many social media users wanting more and demanding more colorful ideas for next year.

Dozens of other tweets echoed this user’s complaints, slamming the gala for being “uneventful.”

“This has gotta be the most boring met gala ever, it’s so uneventful,” one person posted.

Others blamed the celebrities, particularly noting Anne Hathaway’s more basic outfit of a black striped skirt and white blouse.

“I can excuse missing the theme but i can NEVER excuse looking boring,” another user wrote.

Another user slammed the charity event for being the “most boring in years.”

“This is shaping up to be the most boring Met Gala in YEARS. Chop after chop,” they posted.

SHINING STARS

While Sydney Sweeney received backlash online for her black Miu Miu gown, and Anne Hathaway for her office-chic Carolina Herrera outfit, several stars stood out as the night’s best dressed.

Zendaya looked sleek in a white three-piece Louis Vuitton silk suit, which fans called “perfection.”

“ZENDAYA!!! It’s very reminiscent of Bianca Jagger’s 70s suits and tailored to perfection,” an X user posted.

“It’s Zendaya’s world and we’re just living in it,” another fan wrote.

Diana Ross was also one of the night’s best-dressed as she rocked the carpet in a jaw-dropping 18-foot gown.

The singer ended her 22-year hiatus from the gala with a dress fans said “saved” the night.

“Disappointing Met Gala this year. Most everyone, save Diana Ross andn Angela Bassett, looks like they grabbed something from their closet or leftovers from the Derby last weekend. Bland n boring is theme achieved tonight,” one user wrote.

The marvelous dress was an homage to her family tree, with silver crystals embroidering all of the names of her children and grandchildren.

MISSING A-LISTERS

While the runway was packed with A-list celebrities such as Demi Moore and sports stars Saquon Barkley and Joe Burrow, several high profile previous attendees were missing.

Kylie Jenner walked the carpet alone without her beau Timothée Chalamet, who has previously attended the star-studded event.

Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were also noticeably missing from the event.

Kelce has never attended the gala, however, Swift used to be a regular attendee.

The superstar walked the carpet in front of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for five consecutive years and last went in 2016, but hasn’t returned since.

Other absent stars included Naomi Campbell, Jennifer Lopez, and Sarah Jessica Parker.

Campbell posted on Instagram announcing that she wouldn’t be attending, but praising the gala’s theme.

“Congratulations to Anna Wintour, the brilliant designers, the dedicated Met Gala team, and stunning attendees of tonight’s extraordinary celebration,” the 54-year-old supermodel posted.

“I have to say, what perfect timing for the ‘Superfine: Tailoring Black Style’ theme. 

“It really celebrates how Black dandyism has shaped fashion and how fashion has been a way for Black people to express who they are and claim their power.”

Lakers star LeBron James, who was deemed an honorary co-chair of the event, said he wouldn’t attend the event due to a last minute injury.

“Unfortunately because of my knee injury I sustained at the end of the season I won’t be able to attend the Met Gala in NY tonight as so many people have been asking and congratulating me on,” he wrote on Instagram.

“Hate to miss an historical event! My beautiful, powerful Queen will be there holding the castle down as she always has done,” he added, mentioning his wife, Savannah James.

This Met Gala returned to the Metropolitan Museum of Art to raise money for the museum’s Costume Institute and kick off the institute’s annual exhibition with the theme Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.

The theme was meant to highlight and focus on menswear, a noticeable change from the typical gown-centric themes of the past two decades.

Guest curator Monica Miller’s book Slaves to Fashion: Black Dandyism and the Styling of Black Diasporic Identity served as the primary inspiration for this year’s theme.

How do you get an invite to the Met Gala?

The Met Gala is one of the biggest fashion nights of the year but not everyone gets to attend the annual fundraiser – so, how do you get an invite to the exclusive event?

Invites to the charity event for the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute are rare and they do not let you get in for free.

According to the New York Times, they cost $75,000 while tables are priced at $350,000 – and all attendees have to be approved by Vogue’s editor in chief Anna Wintour.

So, the majority of guests are invited by major fashion houses and organisations with celebrities usually able to attend for free on behalf of brands who will foot the bill.

Designers like Gucci, Prada, and Louis Vuitton will usually buy tables and fill them up with A-listers from Hollywood, sports, art, and social media.

Many who get invites are brand ambassadors, major figures for hot campaigns, or stars that companies want to be linked to.

Social media stars are most likely to be invited by major platforms like Meta and Instagram, bringing in TikTok stars and other huge celebrities – but everyone needs to be over the age of 18.

Ultimately, anyone with a major platform who it willing to pay the price of a table and who is approved by Vogue’s chief will be able to attend.

Those who are not part of the elite may also be able to get their way into to exclusive event via volunteering and work.

Jobs or internships in production, public relations, catering, communications, media, and in the museum could also secure you a space behind the scenes at the Gala.
