Complaints against Maura Higgins have now reached nearly 700 after Love Island viewers found offense with her advances towards Tommy Fury.

The ring girl took a liking to the boxer and after making her intentions known she wouldn’t let up. What ensued was a mildly-interested Tommy now madly swerving her attempted kisses.

Fans were livid as they slammed her overzealous sexual advances, after he clearly wasn’t wanting to kiss her.

As such, viewers jumped on the phone and yesterday it was confirmed Ofcom had received since Friday 486 complaints.

The number has now shot up by 200 since then and now stands at 686, despite telling cameras on Monday night’s episode she would cool the sex chat.

Fans praised her for admitting perhaps her flirty nature was just getting a little too much in the villa, with the arrival of Tom Walker now spiking her interest.

Talking about how she wants to go forward with the new boy, she laughed: ‘New approach is, try not to talk about sex too much, because maybe guys don’t like that.

‘But yeah, I am going to have a little flirt with him, because I have to.’

Maura isn’t the only one igniting the complaints from viewers, though, with other fans worried about the treatment of Lucie Donlan.

Earlier this week only 302 complaints had been levelled at the show after Lucie was given a rough trot. Now that figure stands at 684, nearly eclipsing Maura.

Lucie was at the centre of conflict in the villa as the other girls deem her to be distant and Joe Garratt who she was coupled up with was suspicious of her friendship with Tommy – in turn he was branded a ‘gaslighter’ for his actions.

It prompted past Love Island contestants to implore show bosses to make sure Lucie was okay.

Following the influx of fresh complaints, an Ofcom spokesperson told Metro.co.uk: ‘We will assess these complaints against our broadcasting rules, but are yet to decide whether or not to investigate.’

Love Island reps declined to comment.

Tori Spelling’s children couldn’t recognise her when she showed them old episodes of Beverly Hills 90210.

Tori, who is mum to five children, said her eldest two were unable to pick her out when she came on screen.

She told 2DayFM’s Breakfast Show with Grant, Ed & Ash: ‘The first time I showed my oldest kids was probably four or five years ago and they’re 11 and 12 now and they couldn’t find me in it. They didn’t recognise me.’

The actress added: ‘Okay, where’s Mummy? There’s Jennie, there’s Ian, and I’m like, “and mum”, and they’re like, “nope!”‘

Tori, who played Donna Martin on the teen show, revealed that her daughter said she couldn’t recognise her because she had different coloured hair at the time.

She is mum to Liam, 12, Stella, 11, Hattie, seven, Finn, six and two-year-old Beau.

Beverly Hills, which originally ran from 1990 to 2000, is coming back for a reboot called BH90210 with the original cast.

FOX have explained the cast are playing ‘heightened versions’ of their real-life selves, not necessarily their characters, in the surprisingly meta series about the actors getting a 90210 reboot off the ground.

The synopsis says: ‘Having gone their separate ways since the original series ended 19 years ago, Jason, Jennie, Ian, Gabrielle, Brian and Tori reunite when one of them suggests it’s time to get a “Beverly Hills, 90210” reboot up and running.

‘But getting it going may make for an even more delicious soap than the reboot itself. What will happen when first loves, old romances, friends and frenemies come back together, as this iconic cast – whom the whole world watched grow up together – attempts to continue from where they left off?’

The reboot will of course be going ahead with original star Luke Perry, who died following a stroke in March at the age of 52.

BH90210 airs on FOX on 7 August.

Love Island’s Maura Higgins entered the villa like a whirlwind, cracking straight on with Tommy Fury despite his romance with Molly-Mae Hague.

Coming on strong turned Tommy off though but Maura wasn’t deterred, and immediately turned her head to set her sights on new boy Tom Walker.

Tom however seemed keen on Elma Pazar, but now Elma has been booted out of the villa he has decided to lay it on factor 50 with Maura.

But now she’s decided she may not actually have a connection with him.

Will Maura ever take a breath and just relax?

On Wednesday’s episode, Tom pulls Maura aside for a one on one chat, and compliments her: ‘You look really nice tonight.’

The boys are soon teasing Tom from afar and he tells the 28-year-old that they are ‘not sure I can handle you’.

‘I assure you I could,’ he confidently insists.

However Maura seems to be having doubts about her connection with Tom, and in the Beach Hut admits ‘there is something missing with Tom’.

‘Maybe he does find me intimidating?’

It’s probably time to prepare for Maura to get her graft on elsewhere, pretty quick.

Elsewhere in the villa, Lucie Donlan has been left upset over Joe Garrett’s exit from the villa and is frustrated over what she believes was the choice to vote based on friendships and not compatibility.

#We’ve all had our differences but situations like this make you realise that we all need to stick together. We’re going to support you,’ says Amy Hart before Lucie says that she doesn’t think the voting was fair.

However, Molly-Mae fills Lucie in on her chat with Joe where he expressed that perhaps him and Lucie were not so compatible.

Will Lucie stay in the villa or leave to pursue romance with Joe?

Love Island airs Sunday – Thursday on ITV2 at 9pm.

Molly-Mae spills all to Lucie Donlan following the recent dumping on Love Island, explaining to her how Joe Garratt didn’t believe the pair were romantically compatible.

Joe and Elma Pazar were given the boot in last night’s dramatic dumping, after a vote took place among the Islanders to determine who the least compatible couple were.

In the latest episode, Lucie is left frustrated by the other Islanders for branding her and Joe the least compatible – which prompts a conversation with Molly-Mae.

Speaking about the vote, Lucie remarks: ‘But I feel like people have gone off friendship, not compatibility.’

Molly-Mae then tells Lucie how Joe expressed doubt over his and Lucie’s compatibility, although it doesn’t dissuade her from seeing a future with him.

After Lucie states she could see a future with Joe on the outside, Molly-Mae replies: ‘We’re all going to be there for you. You’re not alone.

‘You’re going to be fine. You’ve got all these girls here and they do have your best interests at heart.’

But will Lucie remain loyal to Joe in the villa? Despite her feelings for Joe, it seems she’s staying put for a little while.

Speaking in the Beach Hut, Lucie says: ‘I am finding it hard this morning. The girls have been really lovely to me, they’ve been really nice.

‘I don’t normally take girls advice but I’m actually going to give it a chance.’

You can catch Love Island on ITV2 at 9pm.

Last night’s episode of Love Island saw Yewande Biala question her feelings for Danny WIlliams, despite it seeming like they were getting closer.

Viewers sympathised with the stunning scientist as she second guessed both Danny and herself, with islander Anna Vakili admitting that Yewande doesn’t realise what a catch she is.

The whole thing saw Danny back off a little to give her some space but we’re still hopeful they’ll hit it off.

Now in a first look for tonight’s instalment, Danny doubts their romantic connection and admits he feels ‘dejected’.

Danny voices his doubts to Anton Danyluk and Tom Walker, he says: ‘I would say she [Yewande] is genuinely not feeling it.’

Aware of Danny’s feelings, Curtis Pritchard says to Yewande: ‘How’s it going [with Danny]?’

And although she responds with ‘it’s going good,’ no one is entirely convinced.

The 23-year-old from Dublin explains to Curtis: ‘That is the only frustrating thing with Danny. I just feel like he always needs reassurance.

‘I’m not going to tell you every day that I really like you. It’s never going to happen.’

Ouch.

Danny reflects in the Beach Hut, saying: ‘It’s not easy for me. I’ve really made my intentions clear but I am a bit dejected tonight.’

While Yewande and Danny were so sure of their romantic connection, is the couple’s relationship on the rocks?

Love Island continues tonight on ITV2 at 9pm.

Joe Garratt and Lucie Donlan’s relationship has raised concerns among Love Island viewers for some time now.

Back when the show first began, Joe, 22, exhibited some possessive behavior towards Lucie, 21, when, after the two had been coupled up for less than 24 hours, she was made to go on a date with Tommy Fury.

This caused viewers to draw comparisons between the real-life Joe and the fictional Joe Goldberg – a terrifying stalker played by Penn Badgely, from the Netflix thriller You.

Now, with the real Joe leaving the villa after a brutal double elimination, he’s currently being ‘looked after’ as part of ITV’s new duty of care procedures, and may need to brace himself for the negative response his treatment of Lucie has garnered – including allegations that he was seen ‘gaslighting’ her.

As we wait for Lucie to decide whether or not she wants to leave the villa to be with Joe, here’s why he was accused of ‘gaslighting’ her.

Why has Joe Garratt been accused of ‘gaslighting’ Lucie Donlan?

The gaslighting allegations came after Joe told Lucie that he wanted her to spend less time with the boys – Tommy in particular – and more time with the girls.

Even though Tommy had initially been in something of a love triangle with Lucie and Joe, Lucie and Tommy had become good friends after Lucie decided to couple up with Joe once and for all.

During Sunday night’s episode, Joe told her: ‘I’m not happy with it. It’s strange.’

‘I think it’s time for you to get close with the girls,’ and eventually Lucie was reduced to tears.

Meanwhile Women’s Aid spoke out to praise Love Island fans for noticing the possessive behavior exhibited by Joe, with the Co-Chief Executive saying: ‘Controlling behaviour is never acceptable, and with Love Island viewers complaining to Ofcom in record numbers about Joe’s possessive behaviour towards Lucie, more people are becoming aware of this and want to challenge it.

‘Abusive relationships often start off with subtle signs of control, so it’s important that it is recognised at an early stage,’ they continued. ‘Love Island viewers are now very vocal in calling out unhealthy behaviour between couples on the show, and this is a positive development.’

They added: ‘If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse in a relationship, call the Freephone 24/7 National Domestic Violence Helpline, run by Women’s Aid in partnership with Refuge, on 0808 2000 247 or visit http://www.womensaid.org.uk.’

Host Caroline Flack and Love Island 2018 winner Dani Dyer both came to Lucie’s defense, with Caroline saying: ‘Is he weird?’

‘What is Joe actually angry about?’

Meanwhile Dani tweeted: ‘Just wanna give Lucie a cuddle they need to chill out leave the girl alone.’

A Love Island spokesperson said: ‘We take the emotional well-being of all the Islanders extremely seriously.

‘We have dedicated welfare producers and psychological support on hand at all times who monitor and regularly speak to all of the Islanders in private and off camera, especially if someone appears to be upset.’

Love Island airs weekdays and Sundays at 9pm on ITV2.

X Factor star Rhydian Roberts has slammed Victoria Derbyshire, calling her ‘out of her depth’ in an epic rant.

The 36-year-old singer, who finished second after Leon Jackson in the fourth series of the show, took to Twitter to complain about the presenter.

When one user asked whether they were the only one to get annoyed by Victoria ‘interrupting’ her guests, Rhydian let rip and blasted: ‘No I do too. She’s terrible. How does she even have her own show?!

‘Must be the equivalent of the singer Florence Foster Jenkins where she or a family member has paid for the privilege. [sic].’

Rhydian then tagged Victoria directly and continued: ‘She is out of her depth and blagging it.

‘She’s so rude. I had to turn off today.’

Victoria was joined by a number of guests on today’s show, including  Rory Stewart and Alberto Cost.

Last week, the 54-year-old host became the latest presenter unable to say Jeremy Hunt’s name correctly, mistakenly calling him the c-word live on air.

The blunder was made while she was sat with Shrewsbury MP Daniel Kawczynski, South Leicestershire MP Alberto Costa, Winchester MP Steve Brine and Cheadle MP Mary Robinson, who joined the debate via video link.

The BBC’s subtitle service managed to avoid further embarrassment by substituting the word with ‘EXPLETIVE’.

Victoria is just one of several who’ve accidentally tripped up over Jeremy’s surname, with James Naughtie making the error when Mr Hunt was culture secretary.

Love Island’s Sherif Lanre didn’t find out the exact reason he was kicked off the show until he was back home.

The 20-year-old chef was thrown out of the villa after kicking Molly-Mae Hague in the groin and later joking about the action and claims the islanders still don’t fully know why he was removed.

Speaking on the BBC’s The Reality Tea podcast, Sherif explained: ‘It wasn’t read out to me until I got home, it was described to me as “other behaviour.”

‘Until I got home, that’s when my mum asked. I didn’t know exactly what I had done.’

Sherif told listeners how he was woken up by one of the producers – a few hours before the series five contestants are normally due to get out of bed – and was taken in to discuss the incident.

The star claims he was given time to share his version of events, but that someone senior had already made the decision to get rid of him.

Besides feeling like he was ‘treated like a criminal’ for the situation, the axed islander admitted that he felt it was ‘wrong’ the way producers broke his exit news to him.

‘I had to go see a psychiatrist after that just to see how I feel about the whole thing,’ he said.

‘It’s a bit crazy and a bit wrong. I was thinking about it today, and I was thinking they just woke me up and I was a bit disorientated.

‘In hindsight, I had just woken up, we had a long day before and I wasn’t really thinking properly.’

Metro.co.uk has contacted Love Island for comment.

Love Island airs weekdays at 9pm on ITV2.

Love Island fans have unearthed social influencer Molly-Mae Hague’s YouTube channel, and we’re already obsessed with it.

After Tommy Fury‘s old Facebook profile was discovered, it seems viewers have become pros at internet stalking. The devil works hard, but Love Island fans work harder, right?

The 20-year-old, who melted fans’ hearts when she had her first kiss with boxer Tommy, boasts a following of more than 100,000 on YouTube.

Clearly a fan of the classic haul video, she shows off outfits from various shops, including a ‘lounge underwear try-on haul’.

However, the most juicy stuff comes in her ‘Get To Know Me Tag’ video, filmed back in July of last year.

Chatting about relationships, Molly reveals that she was with her last boyfriend for almost three years and that she ‘thoroughly enjoys having a boyfriend and relationship life.’

‘I love having that consistency and someone you can count on and know is 100% down for you and you can trust,’ she confessed in the video.

She added: ‘Boys and girls, when you don’t look for something, it comes your way. So I’m not looking for a relationship, I’m not looking for love… I’m just gonna do me for a while.’

How the tables have turned.

Fans who have discovered the channel have been loving the star’s videos, with one saying: ‘If more people saw her YouTube stuff they would know she is such a genuine girl with the sweetest personality ❤️.’

‘She’s so bubbly and a lovely girl!!’ another pointed out.

After a rocky few days with Tommy, which saw her in competition with Irish grid girl Maura Higgins, Molly’s enjoying villa life after recoupling with her boxer beau.

Talking about the pair’s bond in the Beach Hut, Tommy confessed: ‘Molly-Mae makes me feel like I have a new lease of life, you know?

‘I fall hard and fast and at the end of the day I think I’ve fallen for her.’

He choked up: ‘When we have a kiss that’ll be that. I’m underneath it, I’m gone and locked and thrown away the key, there’s nothing more I can do.

We’re emotional.

Love Island contestant Amy Hart is being sent death threats and her family are reporting that the number of hateful comments she’s receiving is ‘off the scale.’

The 26-year-old islander caused a stir online for her ‘smug’ reaction to Lucie Donlan‘s tears last night after Joe Garratt was dumped from the villa and now her nearest and dearest have revealed the disgusting abuse she’s fallen victim to.

An Instagram post addressed the level of trolling hurled in Amy’s direction and it began: ‘We would like to thank those who continue to support Amy and those who have sent kind messages through this whole Love Island experience, but especially over the last few trying days.

‘Everyone is entitled to their opinion, however the way some people are gunning for Amy is shocking and really upsetting for her friends and family and everyone who knows and loves her.

‘The other couples also booted for Lucie and Joe at least compatible due to their recent ups and downs, and nobody in the villa knew it would end in any islanders being voted out.’

https://www.instagram.com/p/By43bPuF8cg/

The post continued: ‘The volume of hateful comments and death threats we have received over the last couple days has been completely off the scale and extremely upsetting.

‘They still continue to come through and it stems from one comment made four episodes ago which was said in support of Lucie. Amy is a fierce friend.

‘She is kind, loyal and support of Lucie. She wants the best for everyone and is willing to give herself entirely to those she cares about. Amy is not malicious or vindictive and she is certainly not a bully.’

It ended: ‘We would like to ask those sending malicious and vile messages to think about the implications of their words and threats before plastering them over social media. Anyone who knows Amy knows she does not deserves this.’

The news of Amy’s online abuse comes just two days after a friend revealed fellow islander Amber Gill has also received a ‘barrage of death threats.’

Martin Tweedy, who’s running the star’s social media while she’s on the show, went viral on Facebook when he revealed the sorts of sickening messages that had been sent to her.

‘Your [sic] gonna be hated by the world,’ one read, with another calling her a ‘stupid wh**e’ and a ‘dirty s**g’.

Remember how Sheldon Cooper gave us all a reason to avoid hand-dryers until the end of time? Turns out, science does indeed have his back.

The Big Bang Theory may have come to a close after twelve seasons last month, but there’s many scientific lessons the show has bestowed upon the world – with season two episode four, The Griffin Equivalency, seeing Sheldon wax lyrical about his disdain of blowing hot air on his hands.

In the episode after Penny quizzes him on his use of baby wipes, Sheldon says: ‘I had to sanitise my hands because the university replaced paper towels in the restrooms with hot air blowers. Hot air blowers are incubators and spewers of bacteria and petulance.

‘Frankly, it’d be more hygienic if they just had a plague-infested gibbon sneeze my hands dry.’

So should we avoid hand-dryers forever? A study conducted in 2018 examined plates exposed to 30 seconds of a hand dryer, and compared them with those exposed to regular air in a toilet.

In results published in the journal Applied and Environmental Microbiology (via CNBC), they found the plates blasted with air carried 18-60 colonies of bacteria on average, whereas exposure to regular bathroom air saw less than one colony on average.

The study was carried out by a Connecticut-based team who tested 36 bathrooms at the University Of Connecticut School Of Medicine.

The authors of the study said: ‘These results indicate that many kinds of bacteria, including potential pathogens and spores, can be deposited on hands exposed to bathroom hand dryers, and that spores could be dispersed throughout buildings and deposited on hands by hand dryers.’

In other words, heed the words of Sheldon Cooper. Alright?

The Big Bang Theory cast have now parted ways on a number of different adventures, ranging from Harley Quinn roles to, er, cleaning up bathrooms.

Love Island last night saw a dramatic shake up with both Joe Garratt and Elma Pazar voted off the show.

With Elma gone, the controversial Maura Higgins has no one in her way in her pursuit of new by Tom Walker.

And while Maura started off hilarious, viewers quickly became disturbed by her ‘predatory’ behaviour, which has seen hundreds of complains flood into Ofcom.

This hasn’t put of last year’s winner Dani Dyer however, as the 23-year-old publically declared her support for the divisive Irish ring girl.

Tweeting to her 335.7K followers yesterday, Dani wrote: ‘I can’t help but love Maura she is the funniest one in there.’

Many of her followers don’t agree but there’s no denying that Maura hasn’t provided a few laughs since she arrived in the villa.

Tonight’s episode will see Maura doubt her connection to Tom, as soon as she has no competition.

Tom confidently assures her that he can ‘handle her’ but Maura is having none of it and reveals in the Beach Hut that there is ‘something missing’.

‘Maybe he does find me intimidating?’ she wonders.

It might be just as well seeing as Tom’s mum was pretty horrified by Maura’s advances.

Love Island continues tonight on ITV2 at 9pm.

Chris, who was on the show in 2017, suspects that no one is actually into each other on the show this year.

The reality TV star tweeted: ‘I literally don’t think ANYONE is into ANYONE on this whole show. Thoughts?’

It’s fair to say that Chris has a fair bit of experience with Love Island, so if he suspects something isn’t genuine maybe he’s got a point.

And with upcoming scenes to reveal Danny Williams having doubts about his relationship with Yewande Biala, and new boy Tom Walker immediately grafting on Maura Higgins now Elma Pazar has been dumped, he might be on to something.

In tonight’s episode Danny tries to get reassurance from Yewande that she is genuinely into him.

But the scientist is none of it and says she doesn’t need to constantly tell Danny how she feels.

Danny voices his doubts to Anton Danyluk and Tom, saying: ‘I would say she [Yewande] is genuinely not feeling it.’

Curtis Pritchard has a chat with her and asks: ‘How’s it going [with Danny]?’

The 23-year-old from Dublin explains to Curtis: ‘That is the only frustrating thing with Danny. I just feel like he always needs reassurance.

‘I’m not going to tell you every day that I really like you. It’s never going to happen.’

Danny reflects in the Beach Hut, saying: ‘It’s not easy for me. I’ve really made my intentions clear but I am a bit dejected tonight.’

Joe Garratt was also booted off the show with Elma on Tuesday night, in the wake of criticisms about his ‘possessive’ behaviour towards Lucie Donlan.

His mum Rachel has since spoken out in his defence, telling Mail Online: ‘He doesn’t emotionally control anyone.’

The Act – the new true crime horror story based on the complicated case of Gypsy Rose and Dee Dee Blanchard – has caused controversy over the course of its creation.

Telling the story of Dee Dee’s murder by Gypsy and boyfriend Nick Godejohn – after Gypsy suffered decades of medical abuse thanks to Munchausen’s By Proxy – Patricia Arquette and Joey King have taken on the twisted mother/daughter tale.

But Gypsy – who is currently serving 10 years for her mother’s murder – has said that she did not give her life rights or permission for her story to be used.

On top of that, with the dramatic retelling of the story, certain elements have been elaborated or changed in order to keep the story going.

So what’s been changed? Well – actually quite a bit, in some fairly important ways.

Here are just a few things the show tweaked in the name of artistic licence – and what actually happened.

Gypsy didn’t willingly sign over guardianship to Dee Dee

In the series, after Gypsy (Joey King) turned the age of 18, Dee Dee (Patricia Arquette) took her daughter to sign her power of attorney over to her – and in doing so, legally give her guardianship over her even though she was an adult.

At the time, Dee Dee put this down to her numerous ailments, although after the death it was revealed that Gypsy was perfectly healthy and Dee Dee was lying about her daughter’s illnesses in order to get attention, and keep control of her daughter.

Over the years, she had even lied about Gypsy’s age – saying she was born in 1993, and then later 1995. She was actually born in 1991.

In real life, according to accounts by Gypsy and the Blanchard family, Dee Dee forged Gypsy’s signature to get this control.

She had also forged a birth certificate to lessen her daughter’s age.

Nick wasn’t bossed around by Gypsy after they ran away

Nick’s mental health and level of compliance with the murder is thrown into suspicion on The Act – with Nick seemingly oblivious to how horrific his crime was.

After fleeing with Gypsy to his home in Wisconsin, Gypsy was seen struggling adjusting to her new life, unhappy with what Nick’s family was providing her, and even coercing him into a plot to steal food.

According to Nick, who is currently serving life imprisonment for DeeDee’s murder, Gypsy was the mastermind behind the attack on her mum.

In his testimony, she paid for him to come up, and then letting him in the house, handed him gloves and a knife in order to commit the act.

During an interview with 20/20, Gypsy refuted the claim, and said: ‘There’s a big difference between someone that asks someone to kill someone, and someone who actually does it.

‘I would never kill somebody. I would never physically go through with it.’

DeeDee didn’t get a warning call from Nick after the movie date went wrong

In The Act, Gypsy’s plan for the ultimate cinema meet-cute with online boyfriend Nick Godejohn ended in disaster when Dee Dee shunned him for talking to them.

However, while the real life meet-up at a midday screening of Cinderella did happen (as did the disabled bathroom sex as the film played), things weren’t bad from the outset.

So they certainly didn’t go so drastically badly that Nick called Dee Dee confessing his intent to marry and have kids with Gypsy and threatening her.

In the show, this causes Dee Dee to react and chain her daughter to her bed – but in real life, the phone call never happened.

Meeting him in the cinema foyer was the only time Nick and Dee Dee made any kind of contact.

Gypsy never thought she was going to get caught

In episode seven of the mini-series, Bonnie and Clyde, Nick is forced to constantly reassure Gypsy that she was not going to be caught.

The panicked youngster was seen in a panic near policemen as Dee Dee’s body was yet to be found.

She was also seen expressing immediate regret at the murder of her mother, and was desperately attempting to cover her up.

However, in an interview following her arrest, Gypsy didn’t think she was going to be caught at all – in fact, she thought their entire plan was faultless.

‘I said I wanted it to be painless. I didn’t want her to suffer, because she was still my mother,’ Gypsy later said in an interview.

‘We thought that we would never get caught. I felt like this was a fairytale and I was going to be the princess that gets rescued, and then I’d be happy in Wisconsin where I’d be loved, and I’d have my freedom, and have this wonderful new life,’ she continued.

‘What started as a fairy tale ended as a horror movie.’

Gypsy’s dad was more involved than the show made out

While it is true that Dee Dee kept Gypsy’s father, Rod, was largely kept away from his daughter and ex-wife, The Act made it look like he was almost never there, only being seen calling once to wish her a happy birthday, which Dee Dee declined.

‘I promised I could do whatever I could to take care of her and the child,’ Rod explained in documentary, Gypsy’s Revenge, speaking about what happened between them once they divorced after less than a year.

He would keep up child support throughout Gypsy’s life, and believed everything Dee Dee told him about his daughter’s ailing health.

Rod admitted that he thought DeeDee was the ‘best mum in the world’ for looking after his daughter, and would frequently see her until Dee Dee eventually held off contact and moved further away from him.

Since DeeDee’s death, Gypsy and Rod have maintained contact – and he told Fox News that their relationship was now ‘100x better’.

‘She can call me anytime and she does. I’m keeping tabs on all of her accomplishments in school,’ he said. ‘She’s getting her GED. … It’s wonderful,’ he said.

‘I can’t wait for her to get out so we can build on that foundation that we started here.’

Nick and Gypsy spent no time together in custody

During their time in custody, both Nick and Gypsy served time at the same jail – but orders were put in place to ensure that they never saw each other.

Even their court cases were severed so they weren’t tried together.

Over time, Gypsy’s love for Nick began to fade and eventually she severed the ties she had with him for good (at least, according to family friend, Francine Marcelli).

In the series, they are seen running into each other to have minor heart-to-hearts, including one moment where Nick tells her that Bonnie and Clyde died in a hail of gunfire.

Comparing their murder to that of Bonnie and Clyde was a running theme in the show, and it’s only at this point that Gypsy freaks out and declares that’s not what she wants.

This, in the TVs version, is when Gypsy appears to mentally cut her ties with him.

Lacey doesn’t actually exist

During The Act, Gypsy is seen bonding with neighbour Lacey (AnnaSophia Robb) – asking for her advice on boys and calling her when she was in prison.

While there was certainly someone like that in her life, the character of Lacey doesn’t actually exist.

The closest to it is a girl named Aleah Woodmansee, who eventually tipped off the police about the secret Facebook account Gypsy had to talk to her about boys and her struggles with her mother.

But she was far from happy with the interpretation of her character on screen in the act, and later told InTouch that there were scenes involving Lacey and Gypsy that were completely made up.

She told them: ‘It apparently depicts me smoking with Gypsy? That never happened. Alcohol and smoking were things we never discussed.

‘Literally, the most risqué topics we even touched on were boys … and at the time I believed she was no older than the age of 15, so we can all assume that remained pretty tame.’

Aleah added that she felt the behaviour of the character portrayed on screen damaged her respectable image by people who ‘prefer drama over respect.’

The Act is now available on StarzPlay via Amazon Prime Video.

The actor, who plays Detective ‘Douche’ Dan Espinoza, is getting ready to say goodbye to the fictional City of Angels, with the cult favourite wrapping up at the end of next season.

The cast and creators of the show have been dropping tiny tidbits of what we can expect in the meantime, with showrunners Ildy Modrovich and Joe Henderson revealing that Lucifer will be seeing a ‘familiar face’ during his time in Hell during a Q&A.

So who could it be? Well, no one knows quite yet, but speaking to Metro.co.uk, Kevin has revealed who he’d like it to be.

‘I’d like to see Kevin Rankin come back! He was the Big Bad in season one,’ he told us. ‘It’d be cool to see that unfold, because that’s what started this world. Right?’

Kevin Rankin played psychotic detective Malcolm Graham back, whose brush with death caused him to completely unravel after experiencing Hell while in a coma.

Attempting to prove his devotion to Lucifer, Malcolm went on a killing spree across LA, only to be shunned by his idol who didn’t want death in his name.

Malcolm’s behaviour tied everyone together, initially being put in the coma by Detective Dan, before being resurrected and charged with getting Lucifer back to Hell by brother Amenadiel.

Ultimately, he was shot and (fully) killed by Detective Chloe Decker – Lucifer’s right hand woman and first true love – after nearly managing to complete the impossible task of killing the devil.

With that in mind, actor Kevin figures that it would be the perfect opportunity to bring him back for one last ride, especially as Lucifer will be keeping an eye on his torture in Hell.

‘We started with this guy, it would be really cool to finish with him too,’ Kevin added. ‘Plus I really like him as an actor – I think he’s amazing.’

With so many evil faces with a bone to pick with the Ruler of Hell himself, we know that Lucifer will not be short on enemies now he’s been forced to return to the Underworld.

Either way, we’re in for one hell of a ride as the final season wraps up the story of Lucifer and the human friends he’s grown to love.

Speaking about season five ending, Kevin admitted that he found the moment bittersweet – and that the cast, who have become undeniably close on and off screen, have already got emotional as they think about saying goodbye.

‘[After the announcement] Me, Lesley-Ann, Lauren German were having dinner and already, just talking about the end, and season five is starting to end, tears are starting to form and it’s like we’re months away from even shooting!,’ Kevin laughed.

‘We’re like “we just can’t believe it! We just need to embrace it”. We recognise that this doesn’t happen that you end up loving everybody you work with, it doesn’t happen that often.

‘Luckily for us, we f***ing did it, and nobody can take that experience away from us, and even when they take the show away, the experience will always be part of us.’ 

Lucifer seasons 1, 2 and 3 is available on Amazon Prime Video, and season 4 is available on Netflix.

It might not have been the biggest hit with critics, but Adam Sandler -Jennifer Aniston comedy Murder Mystery has made up for it by becoming a record-breaking hit with viewers.

The streaming service has confirmed that Murder Mystery – which dropped last weekend – scored the biggest ever opening weekend for a Netflix movie, being watched over 30m times.

Taking to Twitter they said: ‘30,869,863 accounts watched Murder Mystery in its first 3 days – the biggest opening weekend ever for a Netflix Film.’

They went on to explain that 13,374,914 of those came from viewers in the US and Canada, with 17,494,949 watching worldwide.

Not bad going – but if you’ve yet to see the movie for yourself, what can you expect?

Here’s what you need to know…

What is Murder Mystery about?

Murder Mystery centres on Nick and Audrey Spitz (Sandler and Aniston), a couple who go away on a European trip for their 15th wedding anniversary, in a bid to try and reignite the spark in their marriage.

While en route they meet a billionaire who invites them to join him on his family’s yacht – but the jaunt goes awry when one of the guests, Malcolm Quince is murdered – and the finger of suspicion points at Nick and Audrey.

All of which leaves the pair having to play detective to unmask the real culprit – while also trying to keep themselves out of danger.

Who is in the cast of Murder Mystery?

As well as Sandler and Aniston there are a few familiar faces in this one.

British actor Luke Evans (Beauty And The Beast) plays billionaire Charles Cavendish, while Gemma Arterton is also on board as actress Grace Ballard.

Veteran star Terence Stamp plays murder victim Malcolm Quince, and there’s also an appearance from David Walliams as family member Tobias Quince.

Other cast members include Dany Boon, Luis Gerardo Mendez, Shiori Kutsuna and Adeel Akhtar.

The film’s been floating around in various guises for some time, with Charlize Theron originally set to star as far back as 2012.

However Sandler and Aniston were revealed as having signed on to the cast in March 2018.

Where can I see Murder Mystery?

Alesha Dixon has revealed that the highly anticipated Britain’s Got Talent: The Champions is due to start filming in July.

BGT fans are still reeling from the whirlwind that was the live finals last month but and now the judge herself promises a ‘special’ new series.

Speaking to Metro.co.uk, the television personality said: ‘So they haven’t actually confirmed the transmission date but I know we’re filming at some point in July.’

Hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly confirmed that the show will be coming back for an All-Stars edition later in the year, but it may be sooner than we expected.

‘I’m super excited,’ Alesha said. ‘They haven’t told me who is on it but I know who I would love to see on it of course.’

Our favourite BGT finalists and winners will be returning to the stage to perform where it all began, alongside other acts from global editions of the talent show.

‘I would love to see all the past winners – I would love to see Attraction and Ashleigh and Pudsey and Diversity and Stavros Flatly,’ she said.

‘Any act that made an impact on the nation and went viral around the world, I would love to see come back and compete against each other. I think it’s a brilliant idea.’

She added: ‘I don’t know when it’s going out, but I think it’s going to be quite a special show.’

Newly pregnant Alesha today launched her new podcast series, Wear It’s At, about midi-life milestones with a fashion focus.

Alesha joins forces with online styling service Stitch Fix for the series which she describes as ‘insightful and inspiring’.

‘I’m a huge fan of fashion – and I’m a fan of talking! So it’s the perfect job really!’ she joked.

‘The podcast focuses on lots of different, really interesting subjects. I talk to very different women from all backgrounds.

‘I think fashion and the entertainment industry all goes hand in hand. So I think one thing compliments the other and fashion has always been a fantastic way to express how you feel.

‘Fashion represents different eras of our lives and we definitely cover that in the podcast as well and how certain things you wore and how they reflect what was going on in your life at the time.’

The former Strictly judge credited Oprah Winfrey as her podcast inspiration, particularly for the TV veteran’s SuperSoul series.

‘She always has really inspiring guests, who have a very unique and profound way of looking at the world and dissecting life and digging deep beneath the surface and they’re not afraid to go there,’ she said.

‘I always find them very nourishing, whether spiritually or just entertaining.

‘Oprah Winfrey is always someone I’ve admired and looked up to and I thought, “Well, if a podcast is good enough for Oprah, then it’s good enough for me!”’

Episode 1 of Wear It’s At is live now on Stitch Fix.com.

The highly anticipated third season of Stranger Things will arrive on Netflix next month and viewers as viewers gear up for what’s set to be the ‘goriest’ series yet.

Ahead of the release, Eleven star Millie Bobby Brown joined James Corden on The Late Late Show’s annual London visit.

The 15-year-old revealed how she can make her nose bleed at will for her dramatic telekinesis scenes, and well, it involves corn syrup.

She described the fake blood as a dyed corn syrup mixture that she squeezes into her nose before the cameras start rolling.

‘You squeeze it in, and then whenever you feel it, I put my head down and I say, “Ok guys, everybody ready… roll camera, O, action!’” and then wait,’ Millie explained.

‘And then if it comes…and if it doesn’t, then I’ve screwed up my timing.’

‘Sometimes I taste it, and then sometimes I get my timing wrong, and the director’s like, “Millie!”’

They must get through a lot of corn syrup on the set.

Season three sees Millie return along with Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, Noah Schnapp and Sadie Sink.

The teen told host James that Eleven has ‘evolved’ in the upcoming outing.

‘We’re not kids anymore. We’re growing up, and I guess that’s kind of the fight with the show this season.’

Stranger Things season 3 drops on Netflix on July 4.

Love Island star Megan Barton-Hanson has suggested that reality show bosses need to make contestants more aware of the editing process.

ITV and Love Island in particular has come under increased scrutiny over the show’s aftercare following the deaths of former contestants Sophie Gradon and Mike Thalassitis, as well as the decision to axe The Jeremy Kyle Show.

The broadcaster recently announced an enhanced duty of care process for participants on the show, including a minimum of eight therapy sessions for contestants.

Megan said that ‘judgment and constant criticism’ she faced after leaving the show has forced her ‘to toughen up a lot’, adding that social media companies are not doing enough about the trolling reality stars experience.

She said: ‘It would be great if they had filters to prevent people from abusing someone on their comments or via their DMs. The person that posted it should also be blocked as a consequence of their actions.’

Her comments come after the friends of axed contestant Joe Garratt said the show’s editors had chosen to tell ‘a certain narrative’ about him as he came under fire for his treatment of Lucie Donlan.

Speaking to Celebrity Secrets magazine which will be published alongside OK! magazine, Dr Alex George, who appeared on the same series as Megan, added: ‘The impact of trolling should not be under-appreciated.

‘Reporting should result in action – and not just an automated response which essentially says, “sorry we aren’t going to do anything about it.” Improvements are being made, however it’s too slow and not enough.’

After Joe was axed from the show on Tuesday a post on his Instagram account, said: ‘Speaking on behalf of Joe’s best friends, we acknowledge Joe will come out to some warranted criticism.

‘However, we deem the majority of it to be unfair and non representative of Joe’s true character.

‘The producers have the ability to show someone in a particular light, choosing just 45 mins of footage from 24 hours to tell a certain narrative.’

Adam Sandler has called on Jennifer Aniston and the cast of Friends to ‘make a f***ing’ movie’ of the hit 90s TV show.

Jennifer, who played Rachel Green in the hit US sitcom, got fans excited when she recently hinted that we could soon be seeing Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc, Matthew Perry and David Schwimmer back together once more.

She later backtracked and now has said that it doesn’t matter what the stars of the show say because ‘they’re excited whether you say no,
maybe or yes so I felt like it was fun to mix it up’.

But now Adam Sandler co-star in new Netflix comedy Murder Mystery – which has biggest opening weekend ever, with over 30 million accounts watching the comedy – has called on them to stop messing around and make the damn movie.

‘Friends was a powerhouse,’ said Adam, speaking to People.

‘Everybody on Friends is excellent, everybody likes them. America, the world loves the cast. So for God’s sake, make a f***ing movie for everyone.’

The Friends cast have been completely divided over a reboot in the past, with Matt ruling it out for good. M

The 51-year-old actor, who played lovable fool Joey Tribbiani told Femail Magazine last year: ‘I don’t want to do it – simple.

‘People want to know what happened to them. But it was about a finite period in a person’s life after college, before you settle down and start a family.

‘To go back and revisit all these years later, well I don’t know what the story would be now. They would all have moved on from that period so it just wouldn’t be the same.’
