Challenges relating to rumours from outside are never good for what we think to be solid couples inside the villa, and tonight was truly no exception.
News Splash certainly unearthed some surprises for Siannise and Paige. First, the beauty technician found out Luke T had told the boys she had gotten ‘naked’ in the Hideaway, and Paige was left literally fuming as a headline insinuated that Finn (who lest we forget is now her official boyfriend) got his head turned in Casa Amor.
Let’s just say…the two girls don’t sound too happy about it.
‘Comments like that, especially about [something] so personal makes me very wary [of Luke T],’ Siannise told the girls in a preview for tomorrow night.
Meanwhile, Paige and Finn look like they are having a very serious showdown by the fire pit.
‘I have not done one thing in Casa Amor that I regret,’ the 20-year-old tells his girlfriend.

And Paige still totally doesn’t look impressed.
‘The headline, in black and white, tells me different!’, she fumes.

Bradley Walsh and his son Barney brought their road trip around America to an end with a lovely father-son moment.
In the series finale that aired on Wednesday night, the Walshes drove their trust RV through New Hampshire.
It wasn’t the most pleasant experience for Bradley, who complained about getting up early and the freezing cold weather – all while dealing with a back injury too.
At the end of the episode, which also marked the end of the series, Bradley and Barney reflected on their road trip.
Following their heart-to-heart Barney got out his guitar and began to play Louis Armstrong classic What A Wonderful World while he and his old man sang together.
We already knew that Bradley could hold a tune, but it was lovely to see Barney display his skills as a musician and singer once again.
The duet (with harmonies and everything!) was a lovely moment between the pair which was a treat for viewers.
âWhat a wonderful worldâ #breakingdad – what an amazing series @BradleyWalsh. Memories, love and laughter! Iâve watched it with my boys and weâve planned some adventures for the future #breakingmum here we come â¤ï¸âï¸ðâµï¸ðð¡
Thoroughly enjoyed watching #Breakingdad with Bradley and Barney Walsh ,put a smile on my face every week and they have such a lush relationship,really hope they do another series ð
How great has this series of #breakingdad with #BradleyWalsh & #BarneyWalsh been? It’s so heartwarming to see the obvious deep love they have for one another… a wonderful father/son relationship! â¤

What a wonderful series #breakingdad has been on @ITV … superb to see the relationship #bradleywalsh & #barneywalsh have. If you’re able to, spend time with your parents – you’ll make the best memories
In another brilliant episode, Bradleyy and Barney battled the snow as they went rally driving with champion Tim O’Neil, with Bradley soundly besting his son in a time trial.
Then they went on to Maine where they took part in wilderness training and successfully made a fire and enjoyed (or not in Bradley’s case) some tea made from pine leaves.
Lastly they braved some rough seas as they had a go at some lobster fishing before it was time for them to head home.
The Chase presenter shared a black and white snap of himself on Instagram with Barney aged around 10, as well as a shot of them more recently filming their show, Bradley And Son: Breaking Dad.
He hailed his 22-year-old doppelganger his ‘hero’ and the ‘man he’s always wanted to be’ in the emotional post on Instagram. ‘To my Darling son Barney, 12 years is a long time,’ Bradley wrote.
‘There you were by my side and here we are now roles reversed with you leading the way. You are my hero and the man I always wanted to be.’
He concluded: ‘Our travels have been awesome and I love every second in your company. Love always, Dad XXX.’
Bradley Walsh and Son: Breaking Dad is available to stream on ITV Hub.

Love Island fans aren’t convinced Shaughna Phillips actually has feelings for Luke M despite her confession in the latest episode.
The 25-year-old’s head might have been turned following her date with bombshell Jamie Clayton, as she confessed to Mike Boateng that she ‘gets along’ with Luke M.
Mike told her: ‘He’s a cool guy. Do you think you could possibly go there?’
Shaughna got shy and admitted: ‘I don’t know.’
On Wednesday night the islanders took part in a game that revealed to them what the public really think through a series of headlines.
The headlines, which had the names blanked out until the islanders guessed who each one was talking about, included one headline that suggested people wanted Shaughna and Luke M to get together and take the £50k cash prize.

Does Luke M feel the same? (Picture: ITV)Viewers felt more people had been rooting for Luke M and Demi Jones, and accused Shaughna of ‘game-playing’ by targeting the popular Luke M in a bid to get to the final.
‘Absolutely NOBODY wants to see Shaughna and Luke M together. She will Eat him Alive,’ one viewer fumed on Twitter.
Another confused viewer tweeted: ‘Why have they told the villa we want Shaughna and Luke M? Like no we want Luke M and Demi.’
Shaughna realised her feelings after her date with Jamie Clayton (Picture: ITV)
A further tweet read: ‘I don’t think Shaughna likes Luke M at all to be honest… maybe she’s starting to play a game.’
One person firmly decided they were not on board and commented: ‘Luke M and Shaughna is not a couple I’ll be getting on board with’, while another fan wrote: ‘No one wants shaughna less than Luke M. But he’s so nice he’ll probably say yes.’
‘So Shaughna spoke to Jamie, which made her realise her feelings for Luke M?
‘Now that is purest form of waffle I’ve ever heard on this show. Stay far away from man like Luke pleaseee!!’ read another confused comment.
Love Island airs daily at 9pm on ITV2.

Love Island’s Mike Boateng has insisted that he’s not a snake after he came under fire during tonight’s savage headline challenge.
The contestant was put in an awkward predicament during the News Splash game when Shaughna Phillips asked him a question relating to how he reacted when Callum Jones arrived back into the main villa with Molly Smith after Casa Amor.
Shaughna read: ‘Love Island’s [blank] branded “snake” after his reaction to Shaughna being brutally dumped by Callum.
After Mike guessed that he was the ‘snake’ he raged: ‘I’m being called a snake for giving advice to people who I care about. It makes no sense. I’m fuming.’
‘It’s a game lads,’ Luke T offered in an attempt to calm him down.
Mike wasn’t having it though and snapped: ‘No shut up, it’s not a game anymore. It’s taking the p***.’
‘I feel like I’m tired of having to explain myself. I know I’m not a snake, so it is what it is,’ he continued in the Beach Hut.

First up, Siannise Fudge found out Luke T had told the boys she had gotten ‘naked’ in the Hideaway.
Paige Turley was then left literally fuming as a headline insinuated that Finn (who lest we forget is now her official boyfriend) had his head turned in Casa Amor.
The fallout between the two couples is set to play out during tomorrow night’s episode, and judging from the preview, it’s going to be explosive.
‘Comments like that, especially about [something] so personal makes me very wary [of Luke T],’ Siannise told the girls in the teaser.
Meanwhile, Paige and Finn look like they are having a very serious showdown by the fire pit.
‘I have not done one thing in Casa Amor that I regret,’ the 20-year-old tells his girlfriend.
‘The headline, in black and white, tells me different!’, she fumes.
We better get our popcorn ready.

Love Island has set up a huge showdown (Picture: ITV)
Last night’s Love Island challenge caused major drama between the contestants and it looks like two of the villa’s strongest couple could both be headed to splitsville.
Although Finley Tapp and Paige Turley only went official just a few days ago, it seems as there’s already trouble in paradise with the Headlines game unearthing some unmentioned business from Casa Amor.
Meanwhile, things aren’t looking good for nation’s favourites Luke Trotman and Siannise Fudge, as the game also drudged back up some comments after their night of passion in the Hideaway.
Didn’t get a chance to tune in? We’ve got you covered with all the highlights.

Paige was left fuming during the News Splash challenge as a headline insinuated that Finn got his head turned in Casa Amor and the duo had a very serious showdown by the fire pit in upcoming scenes.
‘I have not done one thing in Casa Amor that I regret,’ the 20-year-old told his girlfriend.
‘The headline, in black and white, tells me different!’ she fumed.
Can these two go back to how they were before the game?

Meanwhile, things aren’t looking good for Siannise either.
In the challenge, it was revealed that Luke T had told the boys that she’d got naked during their night in the Hideaway and of course, she’s less than impressed by the revelation.
‘Comments like that, especially about [something] so personal makes me very wary [of Luke T],’ Siannise tells the girls in a preview for tomorrow night.
Please say it’s not the end of the road for these two!
Love Island’s Mike Boateng and Priscilla Anyabu leave us cringing in the Hideaway

The couple, who’ve been together since Casa Amor, entered the private getaway for some time away from the other islanders, and their evening consisted of whipped cream and Mike grinding against the bed. Yep, really.
As they arrived, they found rose petals scattered on the bed, champagne, whipped cream and a red robe.
Mike wasted no time in getting the cream and spraying it on Priscilla’s thigh before slowly licking it off. But that wasn’t the end of the show, as he then gave his bae a little dance in his boxers as she lay under the covers.
Having a debrief with the boys after their night away, Mike said: ‘Last night was decent’ before talking about what he did with the whipped cream.
Discussing Mike’s grinding sesh against the bed, Priscilla told the girls: ‘He didn’t overdo his dance, it was actually quite sexy!’
Over in the Beach Hut, she added: ‘He was actually amazing. Honestly, he was a 10 out of 10 but he’ll never hear it from me.’

He told Callum: ‘If I was going to be brutally honest, if I had any mates that were potentially thinking about swaying, I’d probably be like, “Look mate, hold back.”’
Having none of it, Callum replied: ‘To me, it wasn’t a decision – “is it Shaughna or is it Molly?” As soon as I clicked, I thought this is right for me.’
Jamie then admitted: ‘For me, it’s beneficial, I never want Shaughna to go through what she has gone through.’
A jam-packed episode, right?
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

The trailer for Save Me’s follow up Save Me Too has dropped and Lennie James hasn’t given up on looking for his daughter.
It comes after all six episodes of the series landed on Sky in February, with Lennie playing distressed father Nelly Rowe who searches for his missing young daughter Jody, and Suranne Jones starring as his ex, Claire.
In the teaser clip, Nelly is seen walking into his own surprise party where he receives his signature coat as a present.
In the same coat, he later glares from behind the wheel of the car, with the blood on his knuckles suggesting there is more danger ahead.
17 months have passed since Nelly found someone else’s child while searching for his own and Save Me Too is about what he does next.
New addition Lesley Manville joins Stephen Graham, Suranne Jones, Jason Flemyng, Susan Lynch and Adrian Edmondson who all return to the thriller.

Save Me was originally broadcast in February 2018 and fans have been impatiently waiting ever since.
He said: ‘This was never supposed to stop after six episodes. When I was approached to write Save Me what I was asked was, “Do I have an idea for a returning TV series?” So it was never meant to end after six.
‘I can’t say very much about the second series without giving stuff away. But what I will say is I used the distance there will be between the first series and series two, because it’ll be over a year and a half between them being on the box, and I kind of use that time within my story.’
Save Me Too will be coming to Sky Atlantic and NOW TV on 1 April 2020.

Lorraine Kelly has been forced to apologise to her close friends and family after an ’embarrassing’ email was sent from her account by mistake.
The ITV host had to admit what had happened after entertainment correspondent Ross King quizzed her about it – as he told her he had ‘a bone to pick’ with the presenter.
Although, poor Lorraine wasn’t behind the email as she claimed she had been hacked.
Ross, who had received more than one of the emails ‘from’ Lorraine exclaimed: ‘I got one this morning which asked again for something. It said “can you do me a favour?” I said one word saying “anything”. But the way it was written I thought this doesn’t sound like my Lorraine. You’ve been hacked.’
The email claiming to be from Lorraine was titled as ‘urgent’.
The email sent out was captioned ‘urgent’ (Picture: ITV/Rex)
It read: ‘Am sorry for bothering you with this mail, I need to get an iTunes gift card for my niece, it’s her birthday but I can’t do this now because I’m currently travelling and I tried to purchase online, unfortunately, no luck with that.
‘Can you get it from any store around you? I’ll pay you back as soon as I am back. Kindly let me know if you can handle this. Regards, Lorraine.’
On Wednesday’s breakfast show, Lorraine then put the record straight as she said the email wasn’t from her, but her team were trying to resolve the issue.
She explained: ‘I’ve been hacked. And it’s so annoying. I’m a technophobe. The fantastic geeks here are helping me out. But it’s so annoying when you’re hacked and really embarrassing. I thought “oh my god”.
‘Everybody who knows me you might have got an email this morning. Ignore. Just ignore that and anything subsequent. I’m going to set up a new email address and send that out. Apologies. Isn’t it a pain in the bum.’
The presenter even took to Twitter to share with her followers that she had been hacked as she put a warning out to others.
She added: ‘I have clearly been hacked. It’s very annoying. Do make sure you have a strong password.’
Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV.

But with Ant firmly back on track, Britain’s Got Talent back underway and his return to I’m A Celebrity in the bag, it seems that they’re now full-steam ahead on returning to their usual hectic schedule.
Saturday Night Takeaway will return on 22 February – replacing The Masked Singer in the primetime Saturday slot following the finale this weekend.
Ant and Dec made the announcement alongside the Takeaway social team on Twitter on Wednesday evening.
They wrote on their shared account: ‘Right then, who wants to know when the new series of [Saturday Night Takeaway] starts?’

Stephen Mulhern, who also stars on the show, responded: ‘ME! Need to get my sequin jacket dry cleaned.
‘Ps. Are your phones working? I sent you some fantastic ideas for the show but you left me on read…’
Well that’s awkward…

‘Could’ve SWORN we replied!,’ they wrote (which is such a classic response). ‘Anyway, it’s time to put everyone out of their misery, @itvtakeaway … Take it away!’
The Takeaway team then posted a Gif announcing they were back on 22 Feb.
The news comes after the pair posted a teaser clip of what’s to come, filming from a flat filled with memorabilia from their decades-long time together as a duo.
(We would recognise those PJ and Duncan tracksuit combos anywhere.)
Promising to make it the best ever, the pair performed an SNT musical spectacular listing what’s coming up.

At the time, Maya received overwhelming backing from fans on social media to take the vacancy and pals close to the ex-girlfriend of rapper Stormzy have claimed presenting Love Island would be the 25-year-old’s ‘dream job’.
Speaking on BBC Radio 1’s The Reality Tea Podcast, the 25-year-old revealed she was in Dubai at the time when her manager told her: ‘Oh you might have to come back early but we don’t know.’
The former The Circle host went on to explain that as much as it ‘felt nice’ for fans to want her to take over as host, she continued: ‘She’s [Caroline] my friend!’

‘You’re just kind of like, “Oh, that’s nice.” It’s a nice feeling that people want you to do something and it’s nice that people trust that you would be good at doing your job on such a big platform, so it’s flattering.’
She added: ‘I think both of them do an incredible job. I think Caroline’s an OG and I think Laura’s smashing it on this season.’
Caroline stepped down as host (Picture: ITV)
Speaking about how tough it is in the industry, the TV host explained that it ‘could happen to anyone’ and if she did host Love Island, the public could have ended up hating her.
‘I think everyone in our world is kind of like super understanding about this stuff because it can happen to anyone,’ she commented.
‘I could be hosting a show and in two years’ time and people are like, “Oh no, so and so would do better than her.” So it’s like, you’re always going to have public opinions, people are going to have their favourites, people are going to dislike you sometimes.
‘Also online is so fickle. One minute they’ll love somebody the next minute they’ll… — I mean even if I did end up hosting, who knows, two weeks in they could be like, “Nope! Maya, get her off!” like you just never know. So, you try not to get too excited by, you know, everything that’s going on online.’
Love Island airs weekdays at 9pm on ITV2.

Paige and Finn are favourites to win (Picture: ITV)
The first winter Love Island is coming to an end with the return date finally confirmed for just over a week’s time.
Laura Whitmore will be jetting over to South Africa one more time for the big showdown where one couple will take home the £50k prize – and see where couples’ loyalties truly lie.
After a major week of major shake-ups, where once stable couples have now been left hanging by a thread, it’s now all to play for as fans get to vote on which pair should win.
The finale will air on Sunday 23 February in an hour-and-a-half special where the final moments of the festivities will be shown alongside some final tests for our couplings.
Have people actually found love? Or a really sweet Boohoo deal?
Love Island’s finale is only a week away – and it’s sure to be a shock (Picture: ITV)
Siannise and Luke T aren’t far behind (Picture: Rex)
Luke M, who has been unlucky in love after being dumped by Natalia Zoppa within minutes of bringing her from Casa Amor into the main villa, was last seen snogging Demi Jones.
However Demi, who was left single after Nas Majeed ditched her in Casa Amor, is now trying to keep her options open, and is also trying to chat up new guy Jamie.
Who will emerge victorious? (Picture: ITV)Then there’s Paige Turley who ended the episode with a face like thunder as it was revealed boyfriend Finn Tapp had his head turned while in Casa Amor – and while they are currently bookies faves, it looks like that could go south quickly.
But at least there’s Jess Gale and Ched Uzor, who seem to just be cruising and looking at some penguins.
Who can take home the prize, or even recouple before the final moments set in?
Thankfully, we haven’t got longer to find out.
Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

NXT delivered just days before this weekend’s TakeOver: Portland show – and both major championship challengers stepped up.
It looks like 2020 is going to be Bianca Belair’s year, and the rising star has shown she shouldn’t be overlooked as she looks to make a big statement.
The EST of NXT didn’t get a lot of time on Wednesday night’s show, but she more than made the most of her time in the spotlight and proved she should be playing a huge role in the women’s title picture as we head down the Road to WrestleMania.
First, Belair made very short work of poor Santana Garrett, as she absolutely obliterated her opponent in less than a minute, finishing things off the KOD 45 seconds in.
Then, she called out NXT Women’s champion Rhea Ripley, insisting she’s been going to Raw and focusing on a possible Charlotte Flair match-up instead of the challenger standing in her way.
Ripley arrived and insisted she’s not overlooking Belair – she’s looking right at her and will go through her at TakeOver this weekend. The two brawled, with Rhea fighting off her rival before getting taken out with the KOD.
Over in the men’s division, NXT champ Adam Cole looked to teach KUSHIDA a lesson in the main event and insisted he will do anything to retain the gold when he faces Tommaso Ciampa this weekend.
In an amazing backstage video package – something WWE always excels in – the former champion reflected on having to give up the title due to injury and looked ahead to finally getting a shot after technically never losing Goldie.
He suggested he wants the title more than Adam Cole, and he is looking to go into WrestleMania weekend as champion – which was supposed to happen last year.
He insisted Cole will find out how a man is most dangerous with nothing to lose – and we’re all set for a huge clash this weekend.
The champ himself beat KUSHIDA in a really fun main event, as the pair worked well together without burning out days before TakeOver.
After he got the win, Ciampa came out and stared Cole down, promising to take his life – the title – back on Sunday, while the latter insisted it will have to be over his dead body.
Best of the rest
This week, NXT opened with Roderick Strong stepped out alone and calling out Velveteen Dream for disrespecting him by putting his wife and son’s faces on his tights for his return last week.
Insisting his focus isn’t on the Undisputed Era – or even the North American championship, which he recently lost to Keith Lee – Roddy wanted an apology, but instead Bronson Reed was out for revenge for last week’s attack.
The two superstars worked a great match together, getting plenty of time to get the crowd into the story and pay off their issues before Strong claimed the win with a jumping knee strike.
After the bell, Dream appeared on the screen in a jacket with his face on the back, while his tights referenced Roddy’s wife with ‘CALL ME UP MARINA’ airbrushed on them.
He said Strong tried to end his career, so he wants to take something that matters to his rival – but with the North American title round the Limitless Ones face, he might have to turn to the former champ’s family. Dream teased that if something happens to Roderick, then maybe he’ll have to fulfil Marina’s dreams.
Just adding to the mind games, he then revealed Troy and Marina’s face on his tights, leaving Roddy incensed. This story should be special!
Elsewhere on this week’s show, we can’t finish our recap without putting high praise on the Broserweights as the unlikely duo continue to flourish.
In a series of vignettes, we saw Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle first making their way to Portland in a convertible – with the Dusty Cup sticking out – but they were pulled over by the cops, with the Original Bro trying to do the talking.
The car got towed, so the duo had to find another way to get to Portland – which led to a swan love boat ride and even a private jet belonging to Triple H.
This was all very silly but it was a perfect way to inject more personality into the odd-ball pairing, which has so much potential and should give a much needed boost to the NXT tag team division.
Will they beat Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly for the gold this weekend? That remains to be seen – but if we get more of this, then maybe it’s time to give them a run with the titles.
Quickfire results
Roderick Strong pinned Bronson Reed after 14 minutes.
Dakota Kai beat Candice LeRae in 9 and a half minutes before Tegan Knox saved CLR from a post-match attack.
Johnny Gargano made Cameron Grimes tap out after 13 and a half minutes.
Cruiserweight Title Number One Contenders Match: Lio Rush beat Angel Garza in 10 minutes.
Bianca Belair destroyed Santana Garrett in less than a minute.
Non-title Match: NXT champion Adam Cole defeated KUSHIDA in just under 13 minutes.

Game of Thrones’ Bella Ramsey leaves The Worst Witch after four years (Picture: Getty Images)
Game of Thrones’ Belle Ramsey has decided to step down from her role of Mildred in The Worst Witch.
The 16-year-old has been a part of the programme for over four years, however, it looks as though her character will be making a swift exit, as the actress is walking away from the show in order to prioritise her mental health.
Taking to Instagram, the young star made the announcement to her 650,000 followers alongside a behind the scenes picture from the fantasy programme.
‘Forever grateful for my time as Mildred in The Worst Witch,’ she wrote in the caption: ‘But there is a time for everything under the sun. And series four was my time to say goodbye to Mildred.’
Bella added: ‘Thank you fans for all your support, thank you to the crew over the three years, thank you to all the residents of Cackles Academy, thank you to Jill Murphy for this wonderful world you created.
‘It was completely my decision to say goodbye for reasons I can’t really go into but to everyone reading this, please prioritise your mental health and do what’s right for you.’
Fans flooded the youngster with support and sent their love in the comments.
‘The worst witch isn’t the same without you Bella Ramsey,’ one wrote while another added: ‘I hope you’re ok Bella – sounds like a very brave decision you had to make. Whatever you’re going through, you’ve got this.’
Someone else said: ‘It is a brave and very mature thing to prioritize yourself and what’s right for you. Good for you. Wishing you the best during this time.’

Others shared similar views: ‘Hope alls well bella!!! You’ve helped me to come out and talk about my anxiety through your social media and I hope you’re feeling better.’
Bella has previously spoken out about her part in the children’s TV show, and told the Evening Standard at the end of last year how she sometimes finds it hard to focus on both her school work and busy schedule.
‘I was the main character and I was full on and it was tiring and hard work and long hours,’ she explained.
‘But I also just really want to learn and do school too and CBBC are very strict with tutoring so that helped us really want to do it.’
She added: ‘I’m intending to do my GCSEs whenever the time works and you do not have to be 16 years old and do them. Like if a job clashes with my GCSEs then I will choose the job.’
Game of Thrones seasons one to eight are available to stream on NOW TV.

There were many clues that led to the star’s identity, one being that on the show Miss Monster opened up a locker labelled number 10, and Chaka just so happens to have 10 Grammy Awards.
What’s more, before one of her performances she asked viewers: ‘Will you still love me without knowing my name?’ – Chaka had a smash in 1995 with Will You Love Me?
Following her exit, the 66-year-old singer admitted show bosses had to make a few adjustments on her costume because it was ‘really heavy’.
‘It was a heavy costume. It was like being in a box,’ she began.
‘It was a little bit hard. That’s why I just stood there. I didn’t dance or anything. I just stood there. There’s no way I’m gonna dance. There’s no way I’m having a stroke up here, you know? [Laughs] In a monster costume?’

Nicole Scherzinger had the Queen of Funk rumbled from the beginning, but how did she feel when she said her name?
‘I thought, “Well, this is gonna be a quick one. Great”,’ she laughed to TV Line.

‘I did it for my kids,’ he explained. ‘It was unlike any experience I’ve ever had musically and performance-wise. It was awesome.’
‘Keeping it a secret and all that, that was dope because I was in the studio this whole time and was practicing the songs in the studio and I couldn’t tell my engineers,’ he added.
‘The experience was everything I didn’t expect. I will miss being the Robot, especially for my kids because they’re probably going to wish I was a real robot.’
The Masked Singer continues this Sunday on Fox.

Tupac Shakur apparently ‘faked his own death and is now living with a New Mexico Navajo tribe’ claims the latest bizarre conspiracy theory over the rapper’s death.
The iconic rapper was gunned down while driving with manager Suge Knight in Las Vegas in 1996, supposedly dying six days later at University Medical Centre from four gunshot wounds at the age of 25.
However, fans of the star have long upheld the conspiracy that he was in fact alive, and faked his death in order to remove himself from the spotlight completely and start a new life.
2Pac: The Great Escape From UMC, is a documentary now proposing that he fled to New Mexico, where he sought refuge with a Navajo tribe who is now protecting him.
‘You can write a fiction. You can write a fiction story but this is not a fiction. This is facts through certain people I know,’ he explained.

‘Let’s just say Mr Shakur – the family is aware of the movie and they’re okay with the title so that should tell you more or less what’s going on.’
‘When certain FBI agencies are looking for you, they are going to block the airport,’ he explained as the reasoning behind the theory.
‘So you can’t travel out so the best way to escape is through helicopter, private helicopter to another state.’

Noone has ever been charged with Tupac’s death, which has been since heavily connected to the death of Biggie Smalls, aka Notorious BIG, a friend turned rival of ‘Pac’s, in March 1997.
Lookalikes of the star have been seen all over the world ever since his death, fuelling conspiracy rumours.
The latest appearance had ‘Tupac’ photographed in South Africa last year, but he’s also been apparently spotted in Los Angeles, Cuba, Boston and Malaysia.
2Pac: The Great Escape From UMC has yet to be given a release date.

Netflix hasn’t even dropped the fourth season of Stranger Things yet, but Noah Schnapp is already turning his attention to the fifth installment.
That’s right, the 15-year-old who plays Will Byers in the sci-fi, has teased another season and we’re too excited.
When appearing on Lorraine, the youngster was quizzed over whether or not the show was coming to an end, and it seems he’s confident the cast and crew have a lot more to give.
‘The end?’ he gasped when the host asked if the upcoming episode will be the last of the show.
‘Well, I mean, I don’t know if I can say – but from what I think, I’m sure there will be another [season] after this.’

He then insisted that he was in the dark as much as fans and hadn’t actually been told anything about the future of the Netflix hit.
‘I can’t imagine this being the last,’ he added: ‘I feel like we’d know if it was.’
Lorraine moved the conversation on and asked about his friendship with Mille Bobby Brown, who stars alongside Noah as Eleven.
He gushed: ‘Millie is the closest in age to me so we naturally became so close straight away, yeah she’s the best.’
Noah said he can’t imagine the series coming to an end (Picture: FilmMagic)
And while the show is one heck of a success, it turns out Noah had no idea how big the horror would be.
‘I definitely did not expect how much it would blow up,’ he laughed: ‘We all went on there having fun and no pressure and all of a sudden, like overnight, it blew up.
‘I think everyone relates to it in their own way especially with the main characters being kids, kids can watch it easily.’
Just recently it was reported that season four is underway, with the cast and crew filming out in Lithuania.
According to Netflix Life, they have reportedly begun production in the Batlic region of Europe and will return to the US for more filming in early March.
Stranger Things seasons one to three are available to stream on Netflix.

Dr Pimple Popper herself Sandra Lee is left with her most gutwrenching surgery to date as a man’s pus-filled cysts the size of a goose egg on his head explodes.
In the last of the current series of the grimly fascinating surgery series, Dr Sandra meets Eric, a 34-year-old whose life has been changed forever by the sudden appearance of a growing bump in his head.
Going to the doctors for the sake of his wife Ronelle and Evie, their 10-year-old daughter, Eric gets Dr Sandra Lee to investigate the lump in the hope it’s safe and nothing serious.
Evie considers it her dad’s on/off button and often plays with it, but after it’s grown following an accident at work, Eric knows it’s time to cut it out.
The prominent bump though gives both Sandra and Eric more than they bargained for though when she begins to go at it with a scalpel – and as she presses it to relieve the pus inside, it immediately explodes, spraying up her arm.
A mortified Eric tells her: ‘Oh good lord, I’m sorry’ but thankfully, Dr Lee isn’t only used to it, but enjoys it.

The thick and rancid goo is soon removed from his head as she explained it was a pilar cyst – which are ultimately harmless to their long-term health.
‘Pilar cysts are probably the cysts that tend to get me the most, and that’s because it has a thicker wall sack,’ she said. ‘And it’s particularly satisfying to squeeze it and get it out whole!’
We’re going to leave that one to you there, Dr Pimple Popper.

Thankfully after eight years dealing with the injury, Eric was back to normal.
Explaining what happened, Eric said: ‘About eight years ago I was at work and I was struck by the bucket of an excavator. I woke up on the ground and I had a big goose egg on my head.’
‘It’s very painful now,’ he added. ‘If I’m doing something and I hit it, it’s the equivalent of taking a fork and poking yourself in the head, real quick but real good.’
Dr Pimple Popper airs Thursdays at 10pm tonight exclusively on TLC.

Billie Piper is taking a nude photo leak in her stride and declares to fans ‘don’t w**k to lies’ as part of a twisted new drama, I Hate Susie.
The actress plays Susie Pickles, an actress whose heyday is firmly behind her but still clings to fame through fan conventions of her sci-fi show and photoshoots.
But in the trailer for the series, flashes of her life appear on the screen like photographs revealing the devastating turn her life as taken, as she holds back tears in an over glam photoshoot where she’s described as ‘haunting but hot’.
Susie’s heard addressing a photo hack that has seen intimate photos of her leak onto the internet, as she’s seen fighting with loved ones, throwing up in toilets and going full roadrage with a man in the car.
‘I just wanted to say that there were some photos posted of me online last week, supposedly of me, stolen from me, in some mass hack,’ she is heard explaining,
‘And I just want to say that even though I have no issue of whatever it that person is supposed to be doing in the photo, it’s not me, no.
‘So don’t w**k to lies, kids.’
Susie’s life spirals out of control (Picture: Sky)

Could the nude photo leak result in Susie’s murder? (Picture: Sky)
… Let’s just hope Susie’s acting in her space show is slightly better than her attempt at a denial to the adoring crowd.
Sky have described the eight-part series as a ‘bracing, funny drama about the moment in life when the mask slips’.
But it looks like her spiral from the leak reveal could end in horrific fashion – as in one shot she’s seen lying in a woodland with her intestines exposed.
Could the leak end in her murder?
I Hate Susie launches on Sky and NowTV in Spring.

He can’t wait to be back! (Photo by Ken McKay/ITV/REX/Shutterstock)
Bill Turnbull will be making his TV return as he replaces Piers Morgan on Good Morning Britain.
The former BBC Breakfast anchor will reunite with his co-star Susanna Reid to present the breakfast show while Piers is on holiday.
Bill and Susanna hosted the BBC’s Breakfast until 2014 when Susanna quit and decided to launch GMB.
The presenter who left the show in 2016 revealed he can’t wait to take over from Piers and work with Susanna again.
‘I’m thrilled to be working with Susanna again and really looking forward to being on Good Morning Britain,’ he began.
‘We didn’t work together long enough and we got on so well. I was sad when she left at short notice. So for her to ask me to sit alongside her is very exciting.’

‘I’m in two minds about the early mornings. On the one hand, it’s great to be back doing live television. The other part of me thinks: “What on earth am I doing? Having sworn never to do breakfast television again,’ he added to the Daily Mirror.
Bill’s return to live television will begin on February 24 for three days.
He later released a documentary about his journey battling the terminal illness.
Talking about his fight, the star said: ‘I have started treatment and it’s coming down every month. I feel amazingly well, I feel better than before the diagnosis. ‘You do have to stay positive and I try to stay happy, because being happy is nicer than being miserable, that’s part of the healing process.’
Good Morning Britain airs daily at 6am on ITV.

Gordon Ramsay, or should we call him Libby-Lou?, has gone undercover and dressed up as a woman for his new TV series. Yes, he has.
The 53-year-old disguised himself dressed in a blonde wig, yellow hat, and a patterned frock as he went undercover to a struggling American restaurant.
The celebrity chef shared a clip of his new series titled 24 Hours To Hell and Back to his Instagram dressed in his ‘new look’ where he seemed to apologise to his wife…
The caption to the video read: ‘This dude looks like a lady tonight on an all-new @24hoursfox ….. @tanaramsay I apologize in advance.’
Throughout the video, Gordon explained why he was dressed as Libby-Lou as he began: ‘This family-run restaurant is located in a very busy intersection yet they can’t get those customers to go through their door.
‘I will be going undercover as a member if a weekly book club.
Meet Libby-Lou (Picture: gordongram)
This is not something you can un-see (Picture: gordongram)
‘Libby-Lou ready for a ladies’ lunch. Trust me, this one’s going to be a page-turner.’
Donned in his feminine outfit and dashing pink lipstick the star went into the restaurant along with his ‘book club’ members where they ordered off the menu so they could sample what delights they had on offer.
After waiting for half an hour for one meal Gordon commented: ‘Look how dry that is? The pork chop has been fried so much it’s well overcooked.’
As he leans over to try one of the other women’s meals he added: ‘That is awful it tastes like cough medicine.’
And as you can imagine the comments have come flooding it, with many dropping in a few Mrs. Doubtfire jokes.
One fan exclaimed: ‘Mrs. Doubt-your-cooking-skills.’
Another added: ‘Sorry Gordon, but I would still recognize you even with the hat and all that makeup. You are amazing!!’
A third commented: ‘You look like a beautiful lady!’

Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were left mortified as a doctor walked out on a patient in order to win a spa break live on air on This Morning.
The daily Spin To Win game sees the duo call up hopeful viewers, who if they answer with a code word, and answer a question, gets to win whatever the spinning wheel lands on.
Rhodri, who called in from Cardiff in Wales, took his time to reply, and was almost disconnected as Holly and Phil waited patiently live on air for him to answer.
When they finally got through, Phillip asked: ‘Why did it take you so long to answer the phone?!’
‘Because I’m a doctor working on the wards in Cardiff,’ he replied, leaving the pair a bit stunned.
‘That’s a very good excuse,’ Holly admitted. ‘Did you just take a chance and pick up the phone and say the password? Because obviously you’re not watching it.’

‘No, I’m with a patient, I just walked out!’ he revealed, leaving both of them with their mouths wide open as they panicked to speed up the show.
Thankfully, his gamble paid off and after simply answering what tomorrow’s big celebration is (Valentine’s Day), he won a spa break trip to Devon.
Spin To Win has proven to be quite the gamble itself for the two presenters, with daily ups and downs making it a fave for viewers as things go wrong – or sweetly right.
On Tuesday, the pair melted hearts as they gave £1000 to an elderly couple who were left heartbroken after someone stole the ladie’s purse, taking previous photographs and sentimental items with it.
As they played the game, the duo were left gobsmacked as they walked away with the cash.
This Morning airs weekdays from 10am on ITV.
