Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Hilarie Burton have announced they got married over the weekend, despite many already believing they were husband and wife.

Posting the news to Instagram with a series of black-and-white shots, the pair shared how this time they tied the knot ‘for real’ after many speculated they’d wed in ‘2014 or 2015’.

The Walking Dead’s Jeffrey called himself ‘the luckiest man in world’ and it’s just too cute.

‘I’d say words… but there aren’t any. Mrs Morgan…. I love you,’ he declared: ‘Thank you for making me the luckiest man in the world’ he said, posting a photo of the couple in their wedding outfits.’

The Negan star added: ‘Ok. A few words… It was an intimate ceremony… performed by @jensenackles and @bigbaldhead with our kids at our sides… and the party of the century afterwards…

‘Thank you to all our friends and family. It was, without a doubt… the best day of our lives. Ever ever. Just never knew that it could be so damn perfect. It was. And more.’

Meanwhile, Hilary wrote: ‘I just want to put it out there that WE GOT MARRIED! For real.

‘We’ve lived as husband and wife for a decade… For years, publications have reported that we got married in 2014 or 2015 and that I’ve been married and divorced before. All untrue.

‘But WE knew our truth. So it felt silly to try and correct anything. Here’s the God’s honest fact: From the moment I met @jeffreydeanmorgan, he was my husband.

‘Rather than make vows right out of the gate, we lived them. For over ten years. The good times and the bad. Standing up there with our children at our sides – celebrating all that has been – was bliss.’

She added: ‘I love you Jeffrey. I love our intimate group of friends and family who joined us. I love the various circles of loved ones who have supported us over the years.

‘It was private and magical and everything I dreamed. So yeah. I’m Mrs. Morgan.’

The couple have been together since 2009 and have two children: a nine-year-old son Augustus Morgan and a one-year-old daughter George Victoria Morgan.

The Walking Dead season 10 returns on Fox Monday 7 October in the UK.

Jeremy Clarkson launches rant against BBC over Naga Munchetty racism overturn decision

Jeremy Clarkson has criticised the BBC’s decision to overturn the ruling against Naga Munchetty after she suggested US president Donald Trump was racist.

The 59-year-old presenter has claimed the reverse decision from BBC director general Tony Hall had thrown BBC’s chief of editorial policy, David Jordan, ‘under the bus’.

In his Sunday Times column, Clarkson wrote: ‘What disturbs me most all about this sorry saga is that the BBC has thrown its chief of editorial policy, a man called David Jordan, under the bus.

‘People complained after the Munchetty ruling that the [editorial policy] police were not considering what the situation felt like for a woman of colour. The truth is, though, that when they come to do their job, they don’t see colour.

‘They just see a BBC News person implying the president of America is racist.’

He added: ‘There may be only a few hundred people in the country who think Munchetty is wrong.

‘But it is not the BBC’s job to ignore them or their views, abhorrent though they may be.’

Back in July, Munchetty called out the US president after a series of tweets in response to four Democratic congresswomen who were outspoken about his immigration policies.

Responding to the tweets which called for the women to ‘go back’ to the ‘places from which they came’, Naga recalled her own experiences of being told to ‘go home’ in the UK.

‘Everytime I’ve been told as a woman of colour to “go home”, to “go back to where I’ve come from”, that was embedded in racism,’ Naga said.

‘Now I’m not accusing anyone of anything here but you know what certain phrases mean.’

The BBC’s Executive Complaints Unit (ECU) ruled the comments ‘went beyond what the guidelines allow for’ in regards to impartiality, only for the decision to be overturned five days later.

In a message to BBC staff on the topic, Hall wrote: ‘It was only ever in a limited way that there was found to be a breach of our guidelines. These are often finely balanced and difficult judgements.

‘But, in this instance, I don’t think Naga’s words were sufficient enough to merit a partial uphold of the complaint around the comments she made.

‘There was never any sanction against Naga and I hope this step makes that absolutely clear. She is an exceptional journalist and presenter and I am proud that she works for the BBC.’

Clarkson’s relationship with the BBC famously fell apart after he punched a crew member of Top Gear while filming, in a row over food.

Stranger Things fan nails the most convincing Jim Hopper theory ahead of season 4

Stranger Things fan has totally nailed Jim Hopper mystery ahead of season 4 (Picture: Netflix)

A Stranger Things fan has absolutely nailed a theory about the fate of Jim Hopper after his apparent demise at the end of season three.

Taking to Instagram, user @noahschhnapp has deconstructed what they think happened to Hopper – taking into account multi-dimensional string theory, among other things.

They take into account several hints that may have been staring viewers in the face since the first ever season of the streaming juggernaut, hinting that this was always going to happen.

Let us help you break down what might have happened to Hopper, and how it influences both the future and the past of Hawkins.

Hopper basically travelled through time and space at the end of season three

First, the big theory, which is helped with the context of the plot of Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar – which takes a very practical, science-based approach to time travel.

Hopper David Harbour Stranger Things season 4

The fan theorises that the explosion during The Battle of Starcourt Mall didn’t actually kill Hopper, instead it transported him in time. The theory links back right to the beginning of Stranger Things, when Mr Clarke explains to the boys how they could (theoretically) rescue Will from the Upside Down.

The show uses the analogy of an acrobat, a tightrope and a flea: Mr Clarke says that our own dimension is a tightrope. An acrobat can only travel forwards and backwards on the tightrope, he can’t go anywhere else because gravity holds him down. But a flea (aka Will, who travelled to the Upside Down) can use the same tightrope in a different way. It can travel up and down, it can basically travel between dimensions.

The theory is, then, that Hopper has now become that flea. The explosion at the Gate dispersed him through time, probably even dimensions, meaning the sheriff can travel between our world and the Upside Down.

The scene in the show is remarkably similar to a scene in Interstellar – which basically boils down to the fact that if our dimension is a straight line on a piece of paper, to travel to another dimension, you have to bend the paper around you and break through to get to the other side.

Hopper has also been manipulating the events of the show in tiny ways, thanks to some stuffed animals

David Harbour Hopper Stranger Things season 4

Now, here’s where things get a bit trickier. If we accept that at the end of season three Hopper may have accidentally traveled between dimensions, the fan also suggests that he also travelled through time as well.

A nice example of this – and some handy foreshadowing that’s been staring fans in the face since literally day one – is the appearance of three similar stuffed animal toys, which popped up across different points in time during the show’s history. One is with Will in his cubbyhole in the Upside Down, the other is held by Hopper’s now-dead daughter – who died on cancer before the start of the series – and the third is found in Eleven’s room in Hawkins lab before she escaped.

The fan explains these three toys hint at a connection between the three characters, with the most notable binding factor between the three of them being Hopper. They say this visual link is enough to convince them that Hopper has been travelling through time – and dimensions! – trying to help Will, Sarah and Eleven in small ways, such as helping to comfort them with a cuddly toy.

David Harbour knows what’s happening and is teasing fans on Instagram

The eagle-eyed sleuth that runs this Instagram account also handily tagged a few posts from David Harbour’s official account.

David Harbour Hopper Stranger Things series 4

And all this talk about the refraction of light and adding new dimensions now has us pretty much convinced that Harbour has known all along what Hopper’s fate is and he’s basically trolling fans through social media.

The search for answers, however, does continue and won’t actually be solved until Stranger Things drops its fourth season. The good news, however, is that the show has officially been renewed at Netflix, and the sci-fi serial will be returning to the streaming service to answer fan’s burning questions.

Stranger Things seasons one to three are available to stream on Netflix. Season four is expected to drop in 2020.

Who’s going to make it through for another week? (Picture: BBC)

After the excitement of Movie Week that saw Katya go flying twice, Craig put his foot in it over Anton Du Beke’s teeth, and Anneka Rice making a quick exit, it seems there’s no slowing down for Strictly Come Dancing with this week’s dance routines.

David James and Nadiya Bychkova are hoping to stop their bottom two streak and will take on The Greatest Showman song From Now On by Hugh Jackman in the form of a Quickstep routine.

Meanwhile at the top of the leaderboard, after winning the first 10s of the series, Oti Mabuse and Kelvin Fletcher will be slowing things down with a Rumba to Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers.

Will and Janette in the meantime are leaving their Pokemon outfits behind them and turning their attention to latin for a Foxtrot to Señorita By Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.

Anton will be keeping his teeth in for this week, and will be returning to his strong suit in ballroom with Eastenders’ Emma Barton performing a Viennese Waltz to Send in the Clowns by Barbra Streisand

So who has what it takes to make it through another week?

With the competition tighter than ever, it seems that Kelvin and Oti are getting the bookies vote as the standout favourites of the series at 6/4, with David James and Mike Bushell coming down at the bottom.

But Michelle has been climbing up the ranks after last week’s Cabaret inspired performance with Giovanni Pernice, now third at 6/1 behind Karim (3/1) and Kelvin.

Voting will take place on Saturday evening, with the dance-off and first elimination being aired on Sunday night’s show.

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday at 6.40pm on BBC One.

Mila Kunis wants to make a big career change – starring on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The only problem? Husband Ashton Kutcher would ‘kill her’.

The Family Guy actress revealed that she asked her That 70s Show co-star on his feelings if she joined the hit Bravo TV series.

Kunis appeared on comedy actress Andrea Savage’s podcast A Grown-Up Woman, and shared that Kutcher’s response was less than ideal.

‘I’m a big Real Housewives of Beverly Hills fan,’ she shared. ‘I did ask my husband once: “Listen, later in like 20, 30 years, what do you think of me going on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills? Just for like a year.” He goes, “I would kill you.”‘

Kunis even revealed that she had once glimpsed the Real Housewives in the flesh when they were all on a flight together.

‘They were behind me,’ she said. ‘And I was like, “Oh my God, it’s the people from this reality show!” I was so excited.’

However, even if the couple won’t be making an appearance on reality TV anytime soon, that doesn’t mean that they can’t enjoy their fix at the end of a long day.

‘Monday nights for us are… White wine, vodka tonic and turn on The Bachelor or The Bachelorette,’ Kutcher previously shared. 

The couple even appeared on their favourite show in 2017 to help the Bachelorette find her perfect man.

It’s also been a notable week for the couple, as Kutcher is caught up in Demi Moore’s allegations that he cheated on her when they were married.

Will Bayley has revealed he had special shoes made to compete on Strictly Come Dancing.

The 31-year-old table tennis player, who won gold at the Rio 2016 Paralympics, was born with arthrogryposis – a condition which causes curved joints affecting all four of his limbs.

Speaking about dancing with the condition, Will revealed how partner Janette Manrara doesn’t hold back on the criticism despite the extra hurdle.

‘I thought she might be soft on me because of my difficulties, but she tells me straight, which is the best way,’ Will told Closer magazine. ‘She’s adapted it really well for me.

‘She’s really flexible and we work on the choreography together, because some of the moves are impossible. She brings out the best of me.

‘I had special shoes made, which give me extra balance, and they’ve made a big difference.’

On this week’s live show, Will is set to dance the Foxtrot to Senorita by Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello, following last week’s bizarre Pokemon Paso Doble mash-up.

After earning 24 and 23 points in the two live shows so far respectively, Will is probably hoping to prove he’s on the score ascent as we enter the third week.

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday BBC One at 6.40pm.

Love Island star Zara McDermott has claimed to have a ‘similar tone’ to Ariana Grande, ahead of the launch of The X Factor: Celebrity.

Zara has joined Samira Mighty, Eyal Booker and Wes Nelson for the new supergroup who will be going up against the likes of Hayley Hasselhoff and Megan McKenna on Simon Cowell’s new talent show.

Fans have never heard Zara sing before so it’s a bold claim from the reality star but if she can reach those pitches that Ariana can reach, we’ll be very impressed.

Speaking to new! magazine, the former islanders also revealed that they’ve ‘all always had a passion for music’ and that the four of them were ‘singing all the time’ in the villa.

‘Wes would sing in the shower. Him and Samira would harmonise and we’d all get involved,’ said Eyal.

Reality star Megan McKenna, Glee’s Kevin McHale, EastEnders’ Jonny Labey will all be competing in the Unders category, and the Overs is comprised of journalist Martin Bashir, actress Victoria Ekanoye and talk show host Ricki Lake.

In the groups will be a Love Island supergroup comprised of Wes Nelson, Samira Mighty, Eyal Booker and Zara McDermott.

Ben Foden, Thom Evans and Levi Davis will also be teaming up for a group, along with Brendan Cole and Jeremy Edwards.

A new trailer for the show saw Simon, Nicole and Louis listening to the celebs do their thing in a luxury Hollywood venue.

American Idol judges Howie Mandel and Randy Jackson also make an appearance, and will no doubt be giving their opinion on our famous faces.

The X Factor Celebrity starts Saturday 12 October at 8.35pm.

The Grand Tour season four is around the corner (Picture: Amazon)

The Grand Tour fans are devastated that the upcoming fourth season will consist of just two episodes and have branded the move ‘terrible’.

Executive producer Andy Wilman confirmed that viewers will only be getting a double dose of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond in the forthcoming series due to a format overhaul.

Gone will be the days of the track and celebrity guests and instead, each offering will be a much larger scale of production.

‘First one’s Christmas. Then the next one will be Spring,’ Andy told Grand Tour Nation.

‘Basically at the minute it’s a bit loose. We give them to Amazon and they put them out when they want to.

‘This one at the minute is an hour and three quarters. It was two hours and a quarter when I did my first cut.’

The new series looks set to be only two episodes (Picture: Amazon)

Disgruntled viewers have aired their grievances with the changes on Reddit and it’s clear that they’re a little bit miffed.

‘This is absolutely terrible!’ complained user Qosclca. ‘I was so excited when I heard they were just making specials from now on, thinking that meant we’d be getting a season of specials – instead of just two specials a year.

‘So now that they’ve cut all of the other content, they’re making – two specials a year?’

They added: ‘I used to excitedly wait all year long for a season of The Grand Tour. Now I have to wait all that time for two specials…’

Echoing a similar sentiment fickfackfu wrote: ‘I’m really very disappointed now. I know the specials are much work, but I thought they would at least make six or eight, maybe two big ones and some smaller ones like China or the Georgia trips from season 3.

‘Meh. Better than nothing but come on… just two?’

Let’s not forget though that Jeremy has got his own Amazon show I Bought The Farm and Richard has got Richard Hammond’s Big over on Discovery.

Meanwhile, James is also going solo with his Amazon project Our Man In… Japan set to launch next year.

The Grand Tour season 4 is expected to land on Amazon Prime Video later this year.

Love In The Countryside star David on how he ‘came out’ to his parents at 28 and hid secret relationship

A dairy farmer who will feature on BBC Two’s Love In The Countryside tonight has told of the moment he ‘came out’ to his parents.

David Busby from Cumbria is the only gay farmer on the BBC Two programme and ahead of tonight’s show he has exclusively revealed to Metro.co.uk that he didn’t ‘come out’ to his family until he was 28-years-old and that he kept his relationship a secret for six months.

We first met David last week where he went to London for a round of speed dates with a bunch of admirers – and on tonight’s episode the dairy farmer introduces his potential suitors to life on the farm.

‘It was tricky coming out to my parents so I kept my relationship a secret for six months,’ he said.

‘I have had girlfriends in the past, and I thought I was gay but I tried to avoid it for a long time. It wasn’t until I was definitely sure that I decided to come out.

‘It got to the stage where I had to tell people about it, it wasn’t an easy thing to do but the support I have had from my family and friends has been amazing.

‘I think the reason I found it so scary is that because I am a farmer, I am last in line to carry on the Bushby name and so it’s a lot of pressure on me.’

The 35-year-old, who has been single for 18 months, is looking for a male partner to share his agricultural life with, although David admitted that he struggled to get back into the dating game after his seven year relationship ended abruptly.

He added: ‘I was in a relationship for seven years and one day he just left me, I got home to a note on the door.

‘I have found it difficult to adjust to single life and get back in the dating scene, plus I live right on the coast so it’s so hard to meet someone.

‘The population is really low and finding someone who is suitable is a challenge. I went on a dating app and I found myself extending the distance and it just got ridiculous – and that’s when I applied for the show.

‘I honestly didn’t think I would find anyone on the show, but it was a confidence thing and to make me see there are people out there and I’m not on my own.’

Farming wasn’t always the life for David as he attended Bristol University where he studied a degree in Geography.

Although, after moving to Nottingham for two years he soon realised the hustle and bustle wasn’t for him so he retreated back to his parent’s farm – where he has been for the past 11 years.

Tuesday night’s show will follow David on his three dates with his potential suitors, Michael, Sal and Luke.

David said: ‘It was really great having them come to the farm but it was a bit weird as they all stayed in my house and I went to stay with my parents.

‘They were all completely different, one was scared of animals, another came from central London and the other one has horses so he had a bit of a agricultural background.

‘They got to milk the cows, have a tour of the farm and then I got to go on a date with each of them which was nice.  We went rowing, to the pub and the beach.’

After his dates, the dairy farmer admitted he got emotional trying to whittle it down to one person.

‘My friends helped me make the decision as they also got to meet each of them,’ he said.

‘It was such a tough decision as I spent such little time with them and during that time I wanted to be the best version of myself, towards the end it got draining.

‘I found that I did click with two of my dates, and tonight you will see how I get upset in my decision making so I am not sure how it’s going to look on camera.

‘Next week you will get to see who I pick, but the whole experience was so much fun, I had the time of my life.’

Love In The Countryside airs tonight at 9pm on BBC Two.

The Walking Dead season 10 credits now come with a Rick Grimes Easter Egg

The Walking Dead season 10 has a nice Rick Grimes Easter Egg worked in to the opening credits.

The credits sequence detailing key objects and moments from the series includes a moment from Rick’s (Andrew Lincoln) final episode in season nine.

He bowed out in the episode What Comes After, which saw a wounded Rick stare down a horde of undead on a bridge that was built to unite the communities.

This scene now plays out briefly in the titles of season 10 as executive producer Robert Kirkman’s name appears.

In the illustration a figure stands on one end of the bridge with a gun raised at the walkers as they make their way towards him.

Shortly after the same bridge is up in flames and completely destroyed in the centre, preventing anything from getting across.

This is likely in reference to the moment Rick fires his gun at a stack of dynamite, killing the walkers and – seemingly – himself to the dismay of the rest of the survivors.

However as viewers know Rick was actually whisked away to an unknown location by helicopter.

Rick is also spotted later on in the credits on horseback with Michonne (Danai Gurira), and her iconic sword can be seen stuck upright in the ground.

Season 10 will of course see the departure of Danai as she steps down from her role.

Showrunner Angela Kang can’t wait for us to see the warrior woman’s exit, revealing that the character ‘showcases her leadership and strength, and her love for her people and her family’ in her final episodes.

Angela enthused to TV Line: ‘I’m excited to have the audience see Danai’s work during this last arc on the show because she’s just amazing.’

In the meantime fans have seen the popular show return with an unexpected opening set in space.

The Walking Dead airs Sundays on AMC in the US and follows a day later at 9pm on Fox UK.

Lord Alan Sugar has hit back at claims that he knows The Apprentice contestant Lottie Lion’s father, after it was claimed the candidate bragged about her family’s high profile connections.

Lottie’s father, Dominique Lion, runs Leaders For Business, who have boasted that Lord Sugar is just one of a number of inspirational speakers that can be hired.

However, the businessman took to social media on Tuesday afternoon to shut down the rumours and said he has ‘no clue who he is’ and that ‘he had no influence on her joining the candidate process’.

He tweeted: ‘I wish to clarify the RUBBISH quoted about my so called association with the father of @LottieLion1.

‘I have no clue who he is. I have never done any business with him. I have never met him and certainly he had no influence on her joining the candidate process.’

Lottie also recently came under fire for leaked WhatsApp messages which claimed she was ‘racist’.

According to The Sun, Lottie claimed she’d never spoken to a black person before, which Lubna debunked by sending a picture of the candidate with a friend alongside the dig: ‘I thought she’d never met a “black person”.’ ‘Seriously f*** off Lubna before I f****** knock you out at our press training,’ Lottie wrote back.

‘Lubna I f****** swear if you disrespect me again I will f*** you up, you embarrassing failure of a businesswoman.’

Then she added: ‘Shut up Ghandi (sic) that doesn’t even make sense.’

The 19-year-old has also boasted about her privileged background and an insider has said that others in the process found her ‘unbearable’ and would go to any lengths to avoid sharing a vehicle with her as the series progressed.

Speaking to The Sun, the insider said that Lottie ‘managed to rub everyone up the wrong way from the start, particularly in the house where tempers were often running very high after tasks.’

It would be at this point that her background would rile other candidates in the process as Lottie ‘would brag about the country club she belonged to and she was always saying how you had to have loads of money to even be considered as a member.’

There was a perception that she was ‘looking down her nose at everyone else.’

The Apprentice continues Wednesday at 9pm on BBC One.

Former Love Island contestant Wes Nelson is so unimpressed by his Celebrity X Factor group name that he’s refusing to use it.

The reality star has been banded together with Zara McDermott, Eyal Booker and Samira Mighty for the upcoming new spin-off, with the producers calling them The Islanders.

Admitting his distaste for the supergroup’s title, Wes raged: ‘It’s a touchy subject. I’m not saying “The Islanders”. I’ll look like a f***ing idiot.’

To make matters worse, it looks like there’s already some tension within the gang as they’re struggling to come up with an alternative.

Eyal added in the interview with Heat magazine: ‘We’re still undecided. It’s The Islanders for now.’

The celebrity spin-off is set to begin this Saturday with a whole host of famous faces.

Reality star Megan McKenna, Glee’s Kevin McHale and EastEnders’ Jonny Labey will all be competing in the Unders category.

Meanwhile, the Overs is comprised of journalist Martin Bashir, actress Victoria Ekanoye and talk show host Ricki Lake.

There’ll be five groups partaking, including The Islanders.

Ben Foden, Thom Evans and Levi Davis make up Try Star, Brendan Cole and Jeremy Edwards are Cole and Edwards, CBBC presenters Max and Harvey are yet to come up with a name and influencers Sofia, Alondra, Laura, Wendii and Natalie make up V5.

Judging the contestants are Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh and Nicole Scherzinger, with American Idol judges Howie Mandel and Randy Jackson also making an appearance.

The trailer for the hotly-anticipated series dropped last week and gave fans a cheeky first glimpse of the new offering which boasts of a luxury Hollywood setting.

Honestly, we can’t wait for this one.

The X Factor Celebrity starts Saturday 12 October at 8.35pm on ITV.

When They See Us star Asante Blackk is getting a much bigger role in season four of This Is Us.

The drama, starring Milo Ventimiglia and Mandy Moore, has added three new characters ahead of its return.

Blackk’s high school student character Malik has been upgraded to a series regular, says The Hollywood Reporter, which suggests he will be getting a major storyline all of his own.

The young actor has previously teased that his character is connected to the Pearson family in ‘a very, very key way’.

Fans of This Is Us would have seen Malik meet Deja (Lyric Ross) at a barbecue before the new school term started.

As reported back in July, season four will feature the Pearson siblings Kevin, Kate and Randall, as toddlers for the first time.

Fans of the show will be stoked to hear that NBC has announced that it has renewed This Is Us through to season 6.

Star Ventimiglia, who plays Jack Pearson, already knows how the show will end, but hopefully that’s years off…

Blackk recently starred as the teenage Kevin Richardson in Ava DuVernay’s Netflix hit When They See Us.

The drama is based on the true story about a wrongful conviction in 1989, which saw five boys of colour imprisoned for a rape they didn’t commit. They became known as the Central Park Five.

It also focuses on the aftermath of the wrongful convictions, spanning the 25 years it took the men to reach a deal with the city of New York.

They were eventually exonerated in 2002. Upon release the five sued the city for $250 million (£198.3 million) for malicious prosecution, racial discrimination and emotional distress. They were eventually each awarded $7.1 million (£5.6 million).

This Is Us airs on NBC in the US and Amazon Prime Video in the UK.

Kylie Minogue has revealed her ex-boyfriend Michael Hutchence ‘awakened her desire’ in unseen footage from a new documentary.

The Princess of pop has given an insight into her relationship with the INSX singer in a new documentary dubbed Mystify: Michael Hutchence which will be aired in cinemas later this month.

The couple, who began dating when Kylie was 21 and Michael was 29, can be seen frolicking together in the film dressed in their swimwear.

Kylie can then be seen admitting that her former lover ‘awakened her desire’.

In the video clip, Michael is heard saying: ‘Ky’s got this really sweet, innocent image. I mean what the hell is she doing with me?’

The scene then cuts to a voiceover of Kyle saying: ‘I felt very safe with him, I felt very protected, he definitely awakened my desire for other things in the world that was based around pleasure, let’s face it.’

A clip of Kylie naked on a train is then shown where she says ‘it really opened up a different world for me, it really did.’

Kylie and Michael dated for two years before he finished it.  He then started dating model Helena Christensen.

However, the rock singer was found dead in a Sydney hotel room in 1997 aged 37.

A coroner ruled he had committed suicide.

Michael found fame as the charismatic singer and lyricist of Australian rock band INXS, which formed in the late 1970s and is known for songs like Need You Tonight, Never Tear Us Apart, Mystify and Suicide Blonde.

Director Richard Lowenstein, who knew Michael on a professional and personal level, said he wanted to provide ‘a compassionate and authentic record left behind of a very important part of the history of popular music’.

‘Other documentaries had been made, there was a drama series in Australia… and nothing I recognised in the character even in the documentaries or the drama reminded me of anything I knew about the real person,’ Lowenstein told Reuters in an interview.

In another segment, Kylie looks back at the moment he wanted to end their relationship, but he ended up on the floor of his New York hotel room in tears.

She recalled leaving the hotel room feeling ‘destroyed’, adding: ‘Yeah, he broke my heart.

‘The hurt stays for quite a long time.’

Kylie earlier said of the end: ‘[Michael was] on the floor, on all fours, crying.

‘Was it work, was it the drugs? I don’t know. He was like a broken man.’

Mystify: Michael Hutchence is in UK cinemas 18 October.

Vikings season 6 trailer: Ivar meets his match as he reunites with Bjorn for one last battle

The trailer for Vikings season six has finally dropped after fans were left empty-handed at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con.

And while we’re more than pleased to see our Nordic heroes return to the screen, we can’t help but think things are going to end badly.

We left our warriors celebrating Bjorn’s (Alexander Ludwig) reign after he defeated his brother Ivar The Boneless (Alex Høgh Andersen).

But the mad king is on his way back to take the throne, and he’s got a whole Russian army on his side.

After watching the epic teaser, we’ve gone and broken down everything to expect from the upcoming episodes – and it looks insane.

Ivar The Boneless and Bjorn reunite for one last battle

Vikings Ivar and Bjorn
Ivar reunites with Bjorn (Picture: History)

The trailer starts off with Bjorn looking pretty apprehensive as he mutters the words: ‘We all know your reputation and how many battles you have won, but still, you have no idea what you are facing.’

As he looks out to sea, a swarm of boats can be seen approaching the shore, and we can only presume it is Ivar The Boneless at the helm.

After travelling to Russia, the little brother has managed to strike up a friendship Oleg of Novgorod (Danila Valeryevich Kozlovsky), who appears to be helping Ivar in his quest for power.

Although while he is seemingly lending a hand to the fallen king, it appears he might have other motives.

When finally making it to Kattegat with the Rus Vikings, Ivar is reunited with his half brother and continues his playful yet disturbing relationship with him.

‘It seems the Gods have brought us together again my brother,’ he mutters before saying: ‘They must enjoy seeing us fight.’

Who will win the battle?

Does Bjorn fail Kattegat?

Vikings season six
Gunnhild is not happy with the king (Picture: History)

Ivar is trying to take power of his lands once again, and it looks as though the pressure is getting to Bjorn.

So much so he’s starting to make mistakes – which could be threatening the safety of Kattegat.

When finding some alone time with his girl Gunnhild, she seems to be let down by her king.

‘You are a great man,’ she tells him before adding: ‘But even great men make mistakes.’

Will Bjorn manage to seize power, or will he fall fowl to his brother and his games?

Lagertha has had enough

Vikings season six
Will Lagertha make it to the end? (Picture: History)

We get to see Lagertha (Katheryn Winnick) in her final stages of life, and it seems the shieldmaiden has had enough.

Although we don’t think she has given up, it seems she is tired of fighting, and while she will support Bjorn, she will also take a back seat in his battles.

Talking to her grandchildren, who Bjorn shares with Torvi (Georgia Hirst), the former queen appears to be over it all.

And we can’t blame her, she has been fighting her entire life.

In a voice-over, she says: ‘I’ve seen enough of war, I have seen enough of death.’

Will she make it to the end of the season?

Ivar meets his match in Russia

Vikings season six
Ivar meets his match (Picture: History)

Ivar has been exiled fomr Kattegat after his people turned their back on him and looked to Bjorn for help.

But after fleeing to Russia, it looks as though he has met his match in the form of Oleg of Novgorod.

‘I have decided to treat your arrival here as a sign, Ivar The Boneless,’ he tells his guest while raising an axe to his face.

However, it looks as though the pair form an alliance, as he continues: ‘I have ordered the construction of a fleet for the invasion of Scandinavia and you can help me.’

But is Ivar in danger from his right-hand man?

The trailer shows him threatening the fallen king: ‘Don’t ever betray me.’

Floki is gone and his settlers return to Kattegat

Vikings Season 5
Where is Floki? (Picture: History)

The last time we saw Floki (Gustaf Skarsgård) was in episode 19 of season five, titled What Happened In The Cave.

After losing his faith in the Gods, the much-loved character went searching for answers in an Icelandic cave.

When hoping he would find what he was looking for, he came across the Christain symbol of a cross and fell to his knees as he wailed out in disbelief.

His screams caused an avalanche, that barricaded him underground, and while viewers were left hoping he would somehow escape, it seems the episode had actually sealed his fate.

And it appears he won’t be back as Ubbe (Jordan Patrick Smith) tells Kjetill Flatnose (Adam Copeland) he wants to search for his old friend.

The settler, who appears to have moved back to Kattegat to help Bjorn’s fight, says: ‘You can search all you want, you will not find him.’

Vikings season six will return to the History Channel and Amazon Prime on 4 December.

Stranger Things star David Harbour demands answers ahead of season 4: ‘Is Hopper dead?’

It turns out Stranger Things fans aren’t the only people demanding to know whether or not Jim Hopper is alive or not.

David Harbour, who plays the iconic Netflix cop, has no idea whether his character survived being trapped in the Upside Down at the end of the third season or whether Hopper is the ‘American’ captured by the Russians.

Speaking about the mystery surrounding Hopper’s fate on Late Night With Seth Meyers, he began: ‘Well, here’s the thing. I always knew that Hopper had to make a sacrifice.

‘Like, he’s a jerk, and he also needs to pay for that in some way… so I thought he’d make the sacrifice.’

After watching the scenes, David added that he thought ‘clearly I’m the American,’ but since the series came out he’s not heard much from producers.

‘And then I haven’t gotten many phone calls,’ he said.

Desperate for answers, David then FaceTimed the show’s creators Matt and Ross Duffer to discover what happened to Hopper.

‘Am I dead? Is Hopper dead?’ David asked.

‘I mean, we’re still figuring it out, David,’ Ross replied.

‘You guys are a ton of help. Really wonderful work. Good luck with season four,’ David said.

There has been a tonne of theories about what happened to Jim, including fans speculating that he traveled through space and time at the end of season three.

Some are convinced that David himself has dropped a major clue with his Instagram profile picture, but alas we’ll be none the wiser until chapter four.

Luckily for us, Netflix confirmed that a fourth season has been commissioned so we’ll be out of the dark either in 2020 or early 2021.

Stranger Things is available to stream on Netflix.

Why is Martin Fowler on the run in EastEnders – what has he done?

Martin is back in Walford – but where did he go? (Picture: BBC)

We haven’t seen Martin Fowler (James Bye) in EastEnders for a while since he and wife Stacey (Lacey Turner) went on the run from Walford.

Until now that is, with Martin making a return to Albert Square in the wake of Bex (Jasmine Armfield)’s suicide attempt, only to get a roasting from Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) for not being there when his daughter needed him.

Of course Martin left Walford under very different circumstances – so just why have he and Stacey been away?

Here’s what you need to know…

Why is Martin Fowler on the run in EastEnders?

Martin Fowler has fled Albert Square with Stacey in tow in order to escape the clutches of Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) – who knew that she was behind the attack which left his dad Phil (Steve McFadden) in a critical condition.

Martin’s there for Bex after her suicide attempt (Picture: BBC)

The storyline was written to accommodate Lacey Turner’s maternity leave from the show, with the actress having recently given birth to her first child, daughter Dusty Rose.

It’s not clear where they’ve been since they left although the Slater have been telling people they’re visiting Stacey’s brother Sean (Robert Kazinsky).

Martin’s return to the Square came on Friday as Sonia was seen desperately trying to get in touch with him, only for his phone to go to voicemail – leaving her berating him for not caring about his daughter.

Except, unbeknown to her, he was already back – and gave Sonia the shock of her life when she found him beside Bex’s hospital bed.

Expect the feud with Ben to continue in coming episodes as Martin agrees to stick around for Bex’s sake – except his nemesis spots him from across the Square.

All of which will spell trouble for him as he begs to allow Stacey to come back to Walford – only to end up being drafted into Ben’s dodgy dealings.

What will happen next? You’ll have to keep watching for that one.

EastEnders airs Mondays and Fridays on BBC One at 8pm and on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7.30pm.

The Great British Bake Off has served up plenty of drama this year already, from a shock double dumping to tears in the tent and, if rumours were to be believed, the very first Bake Off romance.

GBBO contestants Henry Bird and Alice Fevronia sparked romance rumours after the series started that they had started dating after they were seen leaving sweet comments on each other’s Instagram photos and then Alice shared snaps of the pair spending time together away from the Channel 4 cameras.

Fans couldn’t contain their joy at the thought of a rising romance between two Bake Off stars outside of the tent, but are the contestants actually dating, or just good friends after bonding on the stressful show?

Are Henry and Alice from Bake Off dating?

Despite The Sun reporting that an insider told them that Henry and Alice were: ‘a lovely couple and seem very happy’ and Alice’s pictures of the pair out and about in London on social media, it seems that the claims that they are a couple aren’t true.

After reports about their rumoured romance were published, Alice took to Instagram to share a picture of her hanging out with Henry, Michael and David.

She captioned the image: ‘But how many couples can you see…?’ along with a picture of a face palm emoji.

Her fans and followers were quick to pick up on the hint with one pointing out: ‘OMG is this a response to THAT 👀 article??? I love it 😂’ with another laughing along with Alice and saying, ‘the dating thing is hilarious.’

https://www.instagram.com/p/B241342pMh6/

In addition to Alice’s cryptic response, Digital Spy reports that they have learned the rumours that Henry and Alice are dating are categorically untrue.

Sorry to deflate your mille-feuilles, Bake Off fans, but it seems we’ll have to wait until at least next season for a potential GBBO romance.

The Great British Bake Off airs tonight on Channel 4 at 8pm.
