Ross Geller (played by David Schwimmer) is perhaps best known for his plethora of relationships throughout 10 seasons of Friends.

Well, as well as abandoning his kids and being an all-round terrible person.

So who are all of his exes?

Fear not – here’s your comprehensive guide:

Carol Willick

From the very first episode of Friends, Ross is married to Carol Willick and they have a child together, named Ben.

But something’s not quite right with their relationship.

It’s eventually revealed Carol has been cheating on Ross with a woman named Susan from her gym (who Carol goes on to eventually marry).

After a rocky break-up, Ross comes around to being civil with Susan and eventually co-parenting with her and Carol to raise their son.

Julie

At the start of season two, Ross gives up on confessing his long-held feelings for Rachel and goes on an archaeological dig in China, where he meets Julie.

While he’s away, Rachel finally learns of Ross’s feelings for her so he races to the airport to confess her love to him.

She’s confronted by the sight of Julie and Ross coming through airport security together holding hands and soon finds out they’ve started a relationship.

Rachel tries to sabotage Julie’s relationship with Ross, including telling Phoebe to give her a terrible haircut.

Rachel Green

Rachel Green and Ross Geller have probably the most well-known and complicated relationship of the entire show.

They actually knew each other since high school when Monica Geller and Rachel were best friends. Ross was in love with Rachel in high school, offering to take her to prom when her date almost didn’t show up.

Fast forward to the present day and after a series of foibles, the pair get together in season two when Rachel confesses her feelings to Ross over an answering machine (at this time, he is still dating Julie).

Ross breaks up with Julie to be with Rachel and they date for about a year but Ross starts to get paranoid Rachel might have a thing for her colleague, Mark.

Rachel suggests the pair ‘go on a break’, which is when the highly-referenced ‘We were on a break’ line takes over their relationship.

Ross sleeps with another woman and then tries to cover it up so Rachel wouldn’t find out, but it’s too late. Rachel gets angry and after an episode-long fight, she decides to end things with him.

Their relationship becomes on-again-off-again. The pair end up getting drunk in Las Vegas and having a shotgun wedding – but Rachel forces Ross to get a divorce.

However, they went on to have sex after Rachel’s ‘backpacking across Europe’ story, and after Rachel became pregnant, they co-parent their daughter Emma.

In the final season, Rachel decides to move to Paris for a new job, when Ross realises he loves her. After a one-night stand and a sprint to the airport, Rachel eventually gets off the plane and the couple finally get back together for good.

Emily Waltham

In the middle of season four, Rachel convinces Ross to date her boss’ niece, Emily Waltham.

Things move very quickly, but Emily lives in London so the pair have to have a long-distance relationship and only see each other sparingly.

Ross decides to ask Emily to marry him so she can move to New York and Emily happily agrees.

All of the friends fly to London for the wedding, but during the ceremony, Ross accidentally calls Emily ‘Rachel’ in his wedding vows. This enrages Emily, who becomes convinced Ross is still in love with Rachel.

She forces Ross to choose between her and Rachel, but Ross can’t so the pair get a divorce.

Mona

Mona is Ross’ recurring girlfriend throughout season eight, right after Rachel finds out she’s pregnant.

Poor Mona doesn’t really have a great time of it – she finds out Rachel is pregnant via her dad, isn’t told that Rachel is living with Ross, and is given his apartment key only for Ross to change the locks.

Charlie Wheeler

Ross dates paleontology professor Charlie Wheeler during season nine of Friends, despite initially dating Joey.

She breaks up with Joey because she feels more of a connection with Ross.

It’s a rather short-lived relationship, as Charlie’s previous boyfriend confesses his love for her. Charlie then ditches Ross, who eventually gets back together with Rachel.

Elizabeth Stevens

Ross gets together with Elizabeth Stevens during season six of Friends. Elizabeth is actually a student of Ross’s and there’s a considerable age gap between the pair.

Elizabeth eventually introduces Ross to her dad Paul (played by Bruce Willis) who immediately says he doesn’t like Ross dating his daughter.

Things escalate as Rachel begins dating Paul, which causes complications in Ross and Rachel’s friendship.

But Ross eventually decides to break it off with Elizabeth after he realises she’s probably a little too immature for him.

Bonnie

Bonnie is a friend of Phoebe’s. In season four, Phoebe offers to set Ross up with Bonnie but he is put off by the fact he thinks she is bald.

But when he eventually meets her, he realises she’s not bald – the pair begin dating.

Rachel convinces Bonnie to shave her head and she goes along with it. Then Rachel confesses she never stopped loving Ross after they broke up.

Ross breaks up with Bonnie and gives things another go with Rachel.

Chloe

No list is complete without Chloe – the woman Ross had sex with while he was ‘on a break’ with Rachel.

She works at a copying shop and tells her colleague Isaac about sleeping with Ross. Isaac tells his sister, Jasmine, then Jasmine tells her flat mate Gunther.

Gunther happily tells Rachel about Ross sleeping with another woman, as he’s always had feelings for Rachel. The news comes as a huge shock to Rachel, who was willing to take Ross back after his paranoia surrounding her colleague Mark.

Janice

In season five, Ross had a brief fling with Chandler’s ex-girlfriend Janice (you might remember her as the one with the annoying laugh).

Janice eventually ends up dumping Ross because, ironically, he whines too much.

Cheryl

In season four, Ross dates Cheryl for a single episode, aptly titled The One With The Dirty Girl.

She has a really messy apartment that’s also inhabited by rats. Ross ends up breaking up with Cheryl due to the unclean flat.

Jill Green

Jill Green (played by Reese Witherspoon) is the younger sister of Rachel Green.

She actually finds Ross is a bit of a geek, but dates him out of spite for her sister. Rachel remarks Jill ‘always wanted what she couldn’t have’.

Peaky Blinders season 5 ended on one hell of a cliffhanger last night and it seems things are going to go from bad to worse for Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) with the arrival of a new family.

Gina Grey (Anya Taylor-Joy) has husband Michael (Finn Cole) wrapped around her little finger, and director Anthony Byrne has teased that her family could soon be descending on the show.

Are they going to spell the end of the Peaky Blinders?

‘Gina, and whoever her family are, will make themselves known, Oswald Mosley and some people around him and his world,’ he told BBC Sounds’ Obsessed With Peaky Blinders podcast.

Gina was seen in the final episode instructing Michael it was ‘time they went with their second option’ after Tommy turned down his proposal to take over the family business.

What that means though, we’ve now got to wait to find out.

The mysterious new character married Michael after allegedly falling pregnant with his baby (we’ll believe it when we see it) and as it turns out, her family has a connection to drug trafficking over in the States.

Are the Peaky Blinders, who are falling apart at the seems literally and mentally, about to go head to head with the Mafia?

If that’s the case, you better hope that they’re in better standing than the way they are now.

Creator Steven Knight is well underway writing season 6, and by the sounds of it, it’s going to be amazing…but there’s one slight hitch that might annoy fans.

‘I start later this year and then we shoot next year and I have no idea when it would be out,’ he added to the show. ‘Maybe early 2021, something like that?’

We’ve got to wait HOW LONG?!

By the sounds of it though, it’s going to be worth it, and Anthony suggested that there’s more to meet the eye in the field that ended on the cliffhanger that gave us more questions than answers.

‘I had no idea [what was happening in the field],’ he revealed. ‘I mean I do now. At the time when we were shooting it. Nobody knew, so I wanted to commit to playing it. Cillian didn’t know either.’

‘I checked my email [after filming] and episode one of season 6 had just arrived and I went “Oh f**k, do you want to know what happens after what we’ve just watched?”,’ he continued.

‘Then I sat on the couch and started reading it and my editor was sitting beside me just going “Woah!” and “f**k!”’

Guys, you’re killing us here. Let’s hope we’re resurrected in time for the show’s return. Just like you know who.

Peaky Blinders is available on BBC iPlayer now and airs globally on Netflix from 5 October

Strictly Come Dancing star AJ Pritchard is the highest earning professional dancer competing on the hit BBC show.

The 24-year old dancer reportedly earns around £360,000 a year all up, it has been claimed.

According to the Daily Mail, he takes home a flat fee of £50,000 for Strictly this year, but he’s also part of a host of other escapades.

Last year, he was in Celebrity Hunted and this year Celebrity MasterChef, Celebrity Pointless, The Last Leg and the Jeremy Vine show. Combined with his Strictly fee, this totals £120,000.

The young dancer also does the Strictly Live Tour (£70,000), pantomime (£100,000), Strictly Come Dancing: The Professionals (£35,000) and a solo tour (£35,000).

AJ also filmed as a choreographer for the upcoming BBC3 show, RuPaul’s Drag Race (the UK version).

He’s paired up with social media star Saffron Barker on the latest season of Strictly Come Dancing.

The next highest paid professional dancer competing in this year’s Strictly is last year’s winner, Kevin Clifton (£350,000).

Factoring in all earnings, the highest paid person featured on the show is judge Bruno Tonioli, earning a cool £1.85million. Most of that comes from his gig as a judge on the American version of Dancing with the Stars (£1.5million).

Fellow judge Craig Revel Horwood reportedly gets just over £650,000 – despite being with the show since 2004 – while new judge Motsi Mabuse gets £325,000 and Shirley Ballas £500,000.

AJ Pritchard is the brother of 2019 Love Island star Curtis.

They’re both dancers and recently announced details of their upcoming tour together.

On who would be the lead dancer, Curtis said: ‘Obviously we are brothers so we are competitive, we argue, everybody argues in the family.

‘We’ve always danced and competed against each other, so now to be on a tour together where we can actually show the world how much we do love each other/hate each other because we are brothers.

‘But no, we can just perform on stage, have fun and be the two actual leads of our own show which is like a dream come true,’ he said.

The Walking Dead boss Angela Kang thinks Daryl (Norman Reedus) and Carol (Melissa McBride) are ‘soulmates’.

While the pair might not strike up a romance, Kang says they still ‘love each other’, and teased a ‘very big storyline’ for them in season 10. That should make some shippers happy.

She told TVLine: I think they are soulmates, whether or not their relationship ever goes into romantic territory. They are tied to each other in this world and have been through so much together.

‘They love each other and they trust each other.

‘They care what happens to the other. And yet that can be very complicated when there’s so much trauma and this bigger thing that’s taking over the communities.’

Teasing their huge plot, she went on: ‘We’ll see a lot of the Whisperers conflict through the eyes of these two as they are at times on parallel tracks, at times on divergent tracks.’

Formerly departed characters Rick (Andrew Lincoln) and Carl Grimes (Chandler Riggs) are set to play a part in the new season, as a character description for Rick’s daughter Judith shows.

AMC teased what’s to come for the young warrior, who is played by the 12-year-old Cailey Fleming. ‘A kid warrior beyond her years, Judith is every bit Michonne’s daughter from the way she handles her sword to the way she handles people,’ the network revealed on their website.

‘She is also her brothers’ keeper, approaching the future with Carl’s wisdom and RJ by her side.

The excerpt continued: ‘Rick, too, is a part of her daily life as she shares her version of stories she’s heard to keep his memory alive.

‘Her history is never forgotten. She embodies the past, present, and future. Will she have to grow up too soon or will she be able to remain a kid for a little while longer?’

The Walking Dead returns to AMC on October 7 and will follow a day later on FOX UK.

The Chase contestants managed to bag a huge £75,000 win as they beat Chaser Mark Labbett.

The team, consisting of 73-year-old Marge, 36-year-old Kelly, and 26-year-old Aaron, walked away with a huge pay day on Monday’s episode of the show.

Also in the team was 54-year-old Richard, who was unfortunately eliminated after his individual head-to-head round.

Aaron managed to snag a total of £7000 for the prize fund, while Kelly increased it to £12,000, and Marge scored a further £63,000 in an incredible round.

In the final chase the three teammates played together against Mark and luckily for the team they managed to outrun him.

During the last hurdle he managed to get a number of questions wrong, leading to eight attempts before time ran out – therefore the money stayed with the team.

The trio decided to split £25,000 between them.

‘Thrilled for you by the way!’ host Bradley Walsh exclaimed to the the contestants.

As the team celebrated their big win, they all declared what they hope to spend their share of the money on – while Aaron takes a road trip around the US, and Marge spends her money on a new car, Kelly has opted to spend her money on shoes.

Meanwhile, Mark admitted that he did not feel ‘too guilty’ that he lost.

‘The key thing is, you’ve punished my mistakes, you played brilliantly, and thanks to Marge, you’ve got £25,000 each. So bravo,’ he told the team.

The Chase airs weekdays at 5pm on ITV.

Rylan Clark-Neal made his debut on Strictly Come Dancing’s sister show It Takes Two alongside Zoe Ball.

The new series kicked off on Monday night on the show’s temporary new home on BBC One.

As Zoe spoke to current contestants Kelvin Fletcher and Oti Mabuse, David James and Nadiya Bychkova, and Anneka Rice and Kevin Clifton, Rylan was on hand to give the reaction from viewers on social media.

And because he’s Rylan, he even threw in a spontaneous sensual dance to some Kylie Minogue to encourage Strictly fans to get in touch.

His first episode was a hit with people tuning in, which is just as well as he and Zoe will be steering us through the current series together.

One fan tweeted: ‘If I am honest I wasn’t sure about @Rylan co-hosting #ittakestwo but after that first show he has taken to it like a duck to water. Welcome to our glittery world young man.’

Another fan was also honest about their thoughts, and tweeted: ‘Ok I will be honest I’m not good with change but blooming heck @Rylan take a bow you absolutely smashed your debut on #ItTakesTwo. You were Fabu-lous and added even more sparkle !!!!!’.

‘Zoe and Rylan a great combo on #ItTakesTwo loving strictly already,’ read a further comment.

One fan called the presenter a ‘fabulous addition’ while another praised it as a ‘great start to a greats show’.

‘Absolutely LOVED @Rylan on #ItTakesTwo! Can’t wait to see more of you and @ZoeTheBall,’ another fan tweeted.

An especially excited viewer said: ‘Yaaaaaas Rylan! Great duo with @ZoeTheBall…makes it even more fun than before if that’s possible!’

It comes after Rylan expertly hit back at online trolls who blasted him after he joined the show.

The Big Brother’s Bit On The Side host roasted himself on Twitter, responding to furious fan putdowns with some brilliant ones of his own.

Strictly: It Takes Two airs 6.30pm Monday to Thursdays and 6pm on Fridays on BBC Two.

Trance DJ and music producer Judge Jules has revealed a celebrity connection in his family.

Jules appeared on Monday’s episode of Celebrity MasterChef alongside the likes of reality TV star Vicky Pattison, former boxing promoter Kelly Maloney and EastEnders actor Adam Woodyatt.

The celebs were tasked with making a curry for their first challenge in a bid to impress judges John Torode and Gregg Wallace.

Gregg had a chat with Jules, who revealed that while he’s not actually a proper judge, he is a qualified lawyer.

Gregg asked what the connection was between law, music and cooking, and it was then the DJ dropped the bombshell.

‘Me Uncle’ he said, ‘Rick Stein.’

He added: ‘He used to be a DJ as well so there’s a bit of a weird synergy thing going on here.’

TV chef Stein, 72, has been cooking on TV for decades and is best known for working wonders with seafood.

Wonder if he gave his nephew any handy hints before going on the show…

Jules, real name Julius O’Riordan, impressed John and Gregg with his monkfish curry, which included a paste he made from scratch using spices and coconut milk.

In a VT before cooking kicked off, he explained how his job has influenced his taste in food.

He said: ‘DJ-ing has taken me to far flung destinations, and I’ve tried to dive into the cuisine wherever I’ve gone to.

‘My penchant is Asian but I love everything the locals would love.’

Celebrity MasterChef airs Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays on BBC One.

Supermarket Sweep continues its revival and none other than So Solid Crew turned up on the latest episode.

The show hadn’t aired on ITV2 since August 2007, when the late Dale Winton presented it, but now it’s back, presented by Rylan Clark-Neal.

While recent episodes have involved loads of Love Island series five stars, including Maura Higgins, tonight’s episode had some somewhat different guests.

It was none other than the legendary Romeo and Harvey from Noughties UK group So Solid Crew.

The boys first appeared in the Stars in their Buys challenge.

Contestant Dharmesh correctly guessed that the receipt containing, among other things, 30 microphones and ‘rap’-ing paper, belonged to So Solid Crew.

And before we knew it, Romeo and Harvey appeared before our eyes.

There were many members in the pioneering British garage and hip hop group, but Romeo and Harvey were its most notable, along with Lisa Maffia and Top Boy star Ashley Walters.

Rylan promised they would appear later on the show and, sure enough, they soon had us in hysterics.

While on the show, the pair challenged security man Gary to rap with them.

‘The boys are going to teach me how to get down,’ Gary said.

Romeo then said that Gary is ‘doing quite well’ but that he needs to include ‘t-t-t’ and ‘Romeo done’ in his rap.

In a performance none of us could have anticipated, Gary the security man did a full on rap with the So Solid Crew boys, of course based on those two phrases.

Elsewhere there was another celebrity appearance on the show.

Tom Read Wilson from Celebs Go Dating turned up to steal some Pick n Mix. The contestants then had to guess how long it had taken Gary to catch him.

Romeo and Harvey continued popping up throughout the show, with their next appearance coming when contestants had to do the Big Sweep.

Harvey, who considered himself ‘quite the salesman’, was manning the Pick n Mix and set contestants the challenge of getting 500g of five different sweets.

But he was very disappointed when none of the teams completed his challenge.

Supermarket Sweep airs Mondays on ITV2.

Richard Madeley is joining the new series of The Circle as a special celebrity player.

However the contestants won’t know they have a famous face among them, as the 63-year-old will enter the game under a profile decided by viewers during the live launch.

If you’ve ever seen the presenter on Good Morning Britain earlier this year, then you know we’re in for an absolute treat.

He admitted that his wife Judy was ‘completely baffled’ by him taking part as she doesn’t watch the show. She’s missing out big time, tbh.

‘Normally I say no to most reality shows, things like Strictly and I’m a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here and stuff. So she was a bit surprised as to why I said yes.

‘Then when I explained it to her she kind of got it. But Jack, my son and Chloe my daughter, were thrilled. They thought it was a really, really cool thing to do.’

And he is fully ready to appear in an ‘extreme and embarrassing’ role, so do your worst, The Circle fans.

He said: ‘This is going to be my Boaty McBoatface moment. You ask the public to vote on something like this, we tend to get an extreme result! So they’re definitely going to cast me in a very strange persona, which I’m going to have to pretend to be.

‘The whole thing just sounded really different, really funny and I thought “why not?”’

The Circle will see ordinary people (and Richard) move into the same block of flats and try and become the most popular.

They will never come face to face, and have to communicate through a social hub called the Circle.

One of this year’s players includes Zoe Ball and Norman Cook’s 18-year-old son Woody.

His famous parents know he is taking part and ‘are supportive’.

Woody explained: ‘They have given me a lot to think about from past experiences and advice. They said that what you say on TV is out there forever and you can’t unsay it and that once you share too much you never unshare it.’

The Circle starts tonight at 9.15pm on Channel 4

Kit Harington admits he felt he needed to ‘grow the f*** up’ Game Of Thrones ended.

The 32-year-old had previously checked himself into a treatment facility after the HBO series concluded its eighth and final season earlier this year.

The actor reportedly told friends he needed to ‘grow up’, according to a source from Us Weekly.

Kit allegedly made the revelation to friends at an Emmy Awards afterparty on the 22 September, with the source saying: ‘[A group of people were talking] about how filming Game Of Thrones for 10 years was such a long time.

‘He said: “I felt like 15!” Kit joked about how long life is. The group started talking about their ages. Kit said he’s 32, and told them he realised he needed to grow the f*** up at 32.’

The source also stated that the actor, who played Jon Snow in the series, later ‘joked about becoming sober and having some crazy times’.

‘He said he’s from Worcestershire, which is famous for their sauce, and then added with a laugh: “And now apparently me,”’ the insider added.

Kit previously checked into Connecticut’s Prive-Swiss wellness facility to work on ‘personal issues’ in May, just as Game Of Thrones was wrapping up its final season.

A representative later confirmed the news, stating: ‘Kit has decided to utiltise this break in his schedule as an opportunity to spend some time at a wellness retreat to work on some personal issues.’

The actor reportedly ‘took pride’ in his decision to seek help, according to a source from Page Six.

‘If seeing Kit get help can help anyone struggling, that’s fantastic. There’s no shame at all to this,’ the source stated.

Lindsay Lohan had her debut as a judge on The Masked Singer Australia and the pop singer was understandably lost when it came to guessing Aussie celebrities.

The Mean Girls actress is one of the celebrity judges on the reality singing competition, who alongside singer Dannii Minogue, radio host Jackie O and comedian Dave Hughes, has to try to guess who each singer is behind the mask.

Considering she very much hails from New York it’s amazing she managed to muster any guesses for who was under the masks at all.

There was speculation that Lindsay might struggle with her knowledge of local Australian stars and as expected the first night of the program saw many awkward smiles and some complete confusion.

The highlight came early when a vibrant octopus singing a rendition of Fame pulled off the cephalopod mask to reveal comedian and former host of Australian big brother Gretel Killeen.

If you don’t know who that is, you’re not alone because Lindsay was totally bemused and it was too funny.

‘It’s Gretel Killeen!’ Jackie O shrieked, as Freaky Friday star looked around with an awkward smile.

Viewers were quick to roast Lindsay’s responses, some arguing it was her best acting since The Parent Trap, while others said she seemed completely clueless.

One viewer wrote: ‘That knowing ‘Ooh at the mention of Paulini was the best acting I’ve seen from Lindsay Lohan in years #MaskedSingerAu’

‘Most people: Gretel Killeen?! Lindsay Lohan (tonight and probably most episodes): …eh?’ wrote another.

Lindsay’s co-host Dannii Minogue, who has spent several years living in the UK, told news.com.au that they’d all had to do ‘some study’ prior to filming and that she kept a little glossary of Australian celebs.

‘[Lindsay] definitely did some study, and I have to say, I had to do some study on the years when I moved away overseas. I was thinking “I really need to brush up a little bit,”‘ she said.

‘We all just started off with lists of singers, TV talent, radio talent, sportspeople, reality stars. .. We just tried to get a list of who people could be …. I sat down with friends and asked who they thought could be on the show.’

But Lindsay’s attempts to look shocked at reveals of Australian celebs isn’t the only acting the star has been doing, with reports she has been acting up on set.

A source from the crew of the show told The Sydney Morning Herald: ‘She loves you one minute and the next she will fire you,’ they said. ‘Of course she doesn’t mean it, she likes to throw tantrums but it’s part of the job when you work with Lindsay.’

According to The Daily Mail fellow judge Dave Hughes also joked about Linday’s diva behavior’ on his Hit Network radio show.

‘The discussion was had: “Let’s start, we don’t know how long Lindsay’s going to be,”‘ he said of her lengthy cigarette breaks. ‘We thought, “Maybe she’s not going to come back!”‘

He reportedly went on to say that when she returned, ‘someone came to take notes on [her] behalf.’

A husband has defended himself after a video showing him helping his wife through labour with a motivational flip-book went viral.

Kendall Caver, from Atlanta, Georgia, surprised his wife Jasmine in the midst of a two day-long labour with a book which told the story of their relationship.

It was particularly poignant as the couple had previously suffered a miscarriage. Despite this, many criticised the video and believed his actions would have infuriated while enduring childbirth.

The couple both appeared on Good Morning Britain with their newborn following the video going viral, with Kendall shrugging off both criticism and comparisons to Love, Actually.

Asked by host Piers Morgan if the stunt was really about him, Kendall said: ‘Oh my God. That’s hilarious, I’ve seen that comparison.

‘No this was definitely about her, and I hope I made it completely about the story and also just to focus on the fact that we lost somebody, and we lost our pregnancy previously.That was the motivation behind it.

‘Actually a couple weeks prior to her actual due date she touched me, she said, “hey babe I need to talk to you to the side real quick, hey I’m really nervous, I’m about to go into labour, I don’t know how the experience is going to be, I just need some words of encouragement.”

‘And at the time I had none. I was like, I don’t know what to say I’m a guy, I can’t really help you with this but I said, ask some of your lady friends and see if they can give you some encouragement. That helped, but at that moment I started working on something.’

He added: ‘It’s crazy because my wife is the type to climb mountains and skydives, she has no fears. So when she said it to me, I was like I’ve got to do something. That’s when I started creating the book.’

Asked if she secretly wanted to give him a slap, Jasmine revealed how Kendall’s display was encouraged by nurses at that moment while she was induced.

‘What people don’t know is I was induced,’ Jasmine said. ‘The nurses gave him advice to be like, this is a great time to do it because I was going to be in the hospital for a long time.

‘So although I was in pain, I was in a place in my labour when I could sit there and was able to read it and not want to choke him or be upset about it.

‘Actually I loved the book and it reminded me of how far we’ve come in our journey and it took my mind off everything that was going on, so I really appreciate that he took some time out to do something like that for me. I was just happy our blessing was on the way.’

Explaining why he did it, Kendall added: ‘It does look really mushy and sentimental, but I’m really not that guy. I’m not the romantic, throw the rose petals down kind of guy. The reason I took this approach in our pregnancy and during the labour was because of what happened previously.

‘I don’t mind being mushy and doing the corny stuff here and there because she deserves it. This was her body, she had the miscarriage and pregnancy loss, she went through that, I didn’t.

‘So I was like she deserves whatever she deserves. What a lot of people don’t know is this didn’t take place in the heat of labour, this took place prior to her getting two centre metres dilated, prior to her water breaking, prior to all those things.’

You can catch Good Morning Britain weekdays on ITV at 6am.

Jason Isaacs’ children were speechless after watching his new movie Hotel Mumbai, declaring it his best ever film.

And that’s definitely something you don’t tell Jason lightly.

The Harry Potter star, who plays Vasili in the emotional biographical thriller about the 2008 attacks in Mumbai, recalled how his children were annoyed that he’d passed on a family holiday.

However, after seeing the movie, they were completely sold.

‘They sat in silence like most people do at the end…it’s quite violent,’ the 56-year-old, who recently backed the campaign to save Netflix show The OA, said on Lorraine.

‘My kids turned to me and said that’s the best film you’ve ever done, dad.’

The star went on to reveal that the families involved in the attacks asked for the violence not to be sugarcoated, explaining that the movie is about the ‘quiet heroism’ shown by the staff and visitors at the Taj Hotel during the attacks.

‘We live in a world where we’re told there’s so much to divide us,’ he explained, before going on to say that, once the attacks began, all divides went out the window.

Meanwhile, Lorraine Kelly managed to let slip a small spoiler.

Chatting about his character, Jason explained: ‘He’s a bit of a git,’ before the talk show host acknowledged: ‘He redeems himself.’

‘Spoiler!’ the actor cried, with Lorraine looking pretty sheepish.

The movie, based on the 2009 documentary Surviving Mumbai, will also star Dev Patel, Armie Hammer, and Nazanin Boniadi.

The 2008 Mumbai attacks saw 10 members of a terrorist organisation carry out 12 coordinated shooting and bombing onslaughts lasting four days, with staff of the famed hotel risking their lives to protect the guests.

At least 174 people died in the horrific attacks.

Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid were left slightly hysterical after Richard Arnold found their Japanese equivalents in Tokyo.

Arnold, who was in Tokyo for the Rugby World Cup, used Japan’s booming ‘rent-a-friend’ industry to recruit his own Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid lookalikes for his segment.

As they came to face-to-face with the real Piers and Susanna, Hero and Irene suddenly went into overdrive in hamming up their personas.

Basically, Hero bellowed ‘the world’s gone nuts’ for two minutes straight.

After the initial shock, Piers and Susanna were left in hysterics over the escalating madness.

‘I love Hero,’ Piers said, ‘And how appropriate he’s called Hero as well.’

‘You’ve got him down to a tee, Hero,’ Susanna said.

Realising Hero wasn’t going to stop the hijinks, Piers said: ‘Okay we’re going to leave things there. I’ve got a feeling Hero’s not going to stop.

‘I love Hero. I love his commitment to his work.’

You can catch Good Morning Britain weekdays on ITV at 6am.

Friends has turned 25, and among those joining in the celebrations is Gunther actor James Michael Tyler.

James, who played the manager of Central Perk in the 90s sitcom, is heading to This Morning on Tuesday – and no doubt Friends will be on the agenda.

Despite being a supporting player, he’s remained one of the show’s most popular characters – but just when was Gunther first in the show and what’s James done since then?

Here’s what you need to know…

When was Gunther first in Friends?

Gunther first appeared in the 1994 episode The One With The Sonogram At The End.

He went on to become the show’s most frequent guest star, showing up in 148 of its 236 episodes – and making his mark thanks to his unrequited love for Jennifer Aniston’s character Rachel Green.

Although the show ended in 2004 James has continued to be a regular fixture when it comes to celebrating its various anniversaries.

He opened a Central Perk replica in London’s Carnaby Street to mark the show’s 15th anniversary in 2009, as well as appearing at a replica Central Perk in New York during 2014’s 20th anniversary celebrations.

What has James Michael Tyler been in since?

The actor made an appearance in Scrubs in 2005, as well as appearing in movies Nobody’s Watching, Jason’s Big Problem and Keeping Up With The Downs.

James was also reunited with his Friends co-star Matt LeBlanc in an episode of Episodes in 2012, in which he played himself.

His most recent credited small screen appearance came in 2013 TV series Modern Music, which took a look at an ‘ad-hoc family (label, band and management) as they navigate the ever-changing music business.’

He’s set to appear next year in drama short The Gesture And The Word, as Gilbert, a postman who secretly recreates postcards for a woman when her boyfriend’s homemade postcards stop arriving from his travels around the world.

This Morning is on ITV on Tuesday from 10.30am.

As hard as it may be to believe, the new season of Dancing on Ice is creeping up on us.

Gossip surrounding who the new contestants will be has been hotting up, and we’ve already got ourselves a new judge in the form of John Barrowman.

So exactly how long have we got to wait until Dancing on Ice 2020 gets underway?

When does the new season of Dancing on Ice start?

There’s been no official start date confirmed for the 2020 series of Dancing on Ice.

However, if previous seasons are anything to go by, we can expect the new season to start in early January.

This will be the 12th season of the hit show, after this year’s series saw former Strictly dancer James Jordan and his partner Alexandra Schauman crowned the winners.

Even though there’s no official release date yet, there’s been much speculation as to who could be competing this year.

From businesswoman and model Caprice Bourret to Love Island’s Maura Higgins, the Dancing on Ice rumour mill has churned out a host of celebs.

It's that time of the year… Get ready as we'll be sprinkling some clues onto your timelines very soon! #DancingOnIce pic.twitter.com/TeLPt8WoFt

— Dancing On Ice (@dancingonice) September 17, 2019

Indeed, one of the only things we know for sure is that Doctor Who alum John Barrowman will be replacing Jason Gardiner on the judging panel.

On the subject of taking the job, John, who previously competed on the show, said: ‘I am so excited to be returning to the Dancing On Ice family.

‘Unlike most I have been through the rigorous task of skating live as a contestant in the first series. ‘This is a thrilling adventure for me and I hope to bring a Fresh, Fun and Fab-u-lous angle to the judging panel.’

Dancing On Ice returns in early 2020 on ITV.

Lorraine Kelly has been branded ‘inappropriate’ after making a comment to Jason Isaacs about a charity run.

At the end of his interview about his new movie Hotel Mumbai, the Harry Potter star made sure to mention a charity run he’s set to take part in for Great Ormond Street Hospital.

However, fans were a bit baffled by the host’s reaction, after she asked if he’d be wearing shorts.

When Jason said he would be, she went on to say: ‘I’m there. I’m there. I’m there. I’ll be running behind you for the view.’

Viewers were shocked by the comment, with one writing: ‘….Imagine if a male presenter said to a female guest that he would do the run if she wore shorts so he could jog behind…oh Lorraine.’

‘Did #lorraine just say to Jason Isaccs [sic] that she would attend an event if he wore shorts? And she would be behind him enjoying the view? Double standards?’ another added.

‘Okaaaay. So if a male presenter says to a woman he’d be running behind her for the view whilst wearing shorts, that’d be ok too? #lorraine,’ one more viewer asked.

‘@Lorraine was the comment about running behind Jason Issac [sic] appropriate? I mean if it was the other way around there’d be uproar. #Equality #itv #lorraine #DoubleStandards #notcool,’ one more unimpressed viewer tweeted.

Elsewhere on the show, Jason spoke out about how his new movie, Hotel Mumbai, left his kids speechless.

‘They sat in silence like most people do at the end…it’s quite violent,’ the 56-year-old, who recently backed the campaign to save Netflix show The OA, said on Lorraine. ‘My kids turned to me and said that’s the best film you’ve ever done, dad.’

The star went on to reveal that the families involved in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, which the movie is based on, asked for the violence not to be sugarcoated, as he explained that the movie is about the ‘quiet heroism’ shown by the staff and visitors at the Taj Hotel during the attacks.

‘We live in a world where we’re told there’s so much to divide us,’ he explained, before going on to say that, once the attacks began, all divides went out the window.

Metro.co.uk has contacted reps for Lorraine and ITV for comment.

Lorraine airs weekdays at 8.30 on ITV1.

Johnny Galecki has shared a behind-the-scenes clip from The Big Bang Theory finale, after the Television Academy paid tribute to the sitcom during Sunday night’s Emmy Awards.

While The Big Bang Theory’s final season was barely recognised at the ceremony, noticeably absent from all the major categories, a video of the cast weeping as the cast said their goodbyes as well as a clip of Sheldon (played by Jim Parsons) played out.

While we saw photographic evidence of the endless tears from Johnny, Kaley Cuoco and their co-stars when they each shared their grief on Instagram, this video is a lot.

Honestly, grab a blanket, some tissues and prepare to weep.

‘Thank you, @televisionacad for highlighting one of my very favorite moments and sharing #bts emotions and hard work made by all on the crew, Writer’s Room and staff,’ Johnny wrote.

Kaley was all of us as she drew up some crying emojis beneath.

While The Big Bang Theory didn’t take home any prizes at the Emmy Awards on Sunday night, they did receive a nomination for Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series thanks to the show’s last ever episode, The Stockholm Syndrome – which also happened to become The Big Bang Theory’s highest-ever ranking instalment on IMDB.

The Big Bang Theory cast have barely had a minute since the sitcom came to a close back in May. Kaley is taking a completely different direction as Harley Quinn in an animated series following the Batman villain while Johnny will be welcoming his first child with girlfriend Alaina Meyer before he’s set to return as David in Roseanne spin-off, The Conners.

And then Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik announced last week they’ve been secretly collaborating on a US remake of BBC’s Miranda. We’ll reserve on that judgement for now.

The Big Bang Theory is available to stream on Netflix.

Whigfield gave Lorraine viewers a major nostalgia fix as she appeared on the ITV show 25 years after the release of her hit Saturday Night.

We’re feeling pretty old over here.

She rose to prominence with her smash hit Saturday Night in 1994, and has since had other hit singles Another Day and Think Of You.

The 49-year-old hasn’t really stopped hustling since her big hit, revealing her new single is very ‘hush hush’ and explaining that she’s been focusing on house music for the past three years.

With fans getting nostalgic about the song’s influence over the years, Whigfield – real name Sannie Carlson – was no different.

‘I remember 25 years ago coming to your shows,’ she told Lorraine Kelly.

Chatting about her nineties themed tours, she added: ‘It just gets better and better. It’s now three generations, it’s our kids, it’s my generation, the parents – they all know the words.’

And, it goes without saying, the dance.

‘Good to see #Whigfield on #lorraine earlier. Many a ‘Saturday Night’ dancing to her tune!’ one viewer said.

‘When you realise that whigfield Saturday night turns 25 years old this year when you catch @ITVLorraine talking about her being on this mornings show,’ one more pointed out.

‘OMG! It’s 25 years since #SaturdayNight was released,’ another nostalgic fan said.

However, the star doesn’t miss being in the limelight, as she recalled: ‘In the old days, everything was so busy, I was promoting sometimes three singles at the same time.

‘When you’re so young and so much happens to you…’ she continued, with Lorraine adding: ‘It’s hard to take it in.’

Since the classic track, Whigfield has been working on her house music and was even in the running to represent Denmark at Eurovision 2018.

Clearly the hustle never stops.

Lorraine airs every weekday on ITV1 at 8.30.
