begging

OLIVIA Attwood has responded after a fan begged her to make a return to I’m a Celebrity – two years after being forced to pull out. 

The This Morning presenter, 34, was devastated when concerns over her health in 2022 meant she had to leave the I’m a Celebrity jungle after just 48 hours.

Since then, Olivia has always insisted that she will finish what she started Down Under. 

But it seems she’s had a change of heart. 

During an Instagram Q&A, one fan begged Olivia: “Plz do the jungle.” 

She replied: “Oh hunny noooooo.”

Olivia recently opened up about her jungle exit during an appearance on the Staying Relevant podcast with Pete Wicks and Sam Thompson.

Speaking about her early departure, she said: “That is the worst thing that’s happened to me in this industry.

“I really wanted the jungle.

“It was a big c**k up on so many levels. [It was a] medical thing essentially.”

Olivia added: “I tried to fight them on it because I felt like I was fine.”

The Love Island legend told Pete how ITV had “left the door open” for a jungle return one day.

It’s no surprise Olivia hasn’t got time for I’m a Celebrity right now, after being revealed as the newest This Morning presenter.

The Loose Women panellist made her debut last month, co-hosting the show alongside Dermot O’Leary.

Netflix viewers have been left completely gripped by a Western drama series set in the 1850s that has been labelled an ‘absolute masterpiece’ and one of the ‘greatest of all time’

Netflix has struck gold with a Western drama series that’s being hailed as one of the all-time greats. The gripping show, American Primeval, which debuted on the streaming giant in 2025, takes audiences back to the tumultuous times of 1857.

Spanning six episodes, it tells the tale of a mother on the lam and a band of Latter-Day Saints fighting for survival amidst the chaos of the Utah War. Starring GLOW’s Betty Gilpin as Sara Rowell, a mother evading a murder accusation, the series sees her character enlisting the help of Isaac Reed, played by Taylor Kitsch, to escort her and her son Devin, portrayed by Preston Mota, to the safety of Crooks Springs.

Although not directly based on a specific true event, American Primeval powerfully portrays the struggles faced by those living in that era. It draws inspiration from historical incidents like the Mountain Meadows Massacre, where Latter-Day Saint militia and Native American allies brutally killed about 120 members of the Baker-Fancher wagon train.

The Netflix series doesn’t shy away from brutality, featuring relentless gunfights, axe battles, and high-stakes confrontations. Alongside Gilpin and Kitsch, the cast includes Dane DeHaan, Saura Lightfoot-Leon, and Derek Hinkey.

The show’s grim and turbulent backdrop is captured in its synopsis: “Up is down, pain is everywhere, and innocence and tranquility are losing the battle to hatred and fear. Peace is the shrinking minority, and very few possess grace – even fewer know compassion. There’s no safe haven in these wild lands, and only one goal matters: survival.”, reports the Express.

The series currently boasts an impressive 88% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes alongside an 8 out of 10 rating on IMDB. Peter Berg’s American Primeval has sparked widespread acclaim across social media platforms, with numerous viewers hailing the production as an “absolute masterpiece”.

One enthusiastic fan declared: “@netflix American Primeval is a MASTERPIECE! ! ! I NEED MORE! Do they make it to California! ? ! ? ! ? What happens to Bridger! ? ! ? Does he go get the army ? ? PLEASE I NEED MORE.”

Another viewer passionately recommended the series, writing: “One of the best TV shows I will find this year, a great introductory to the year 2025. Such an amazing show! Brutal and realistic conflict, believable acting, great story and drama. If you’re the kind of person who enjoys fantastic action, a rigorous story that grips not only your attention but your feelings as well, then give this a try. You won’t be disappointed.”

A third admirer proclaimed: “American Primeval. Bravo! ! What an absolute masterpiece! ! Best thing I’ve watched in a very long time! ! Well done! ,” whilst a fourth viewer agreed: “American Primeval gotta be one of the greatest short series I’ve ever seen on television had me gripped from start to finish.”

One fan, clearly enamoured with the series, gushed: “Just finished American Primeval, and I have to say-this series is absolutely phenomenal. From start to finish, it’s an intense, gripping, and immersive journey into the brutal and unforgiving American frontier of the 1850s. The storytelling is raw and unflinching, making you feel like you’ve been transported back in time, facing the same dangers, hardships, and moral dilemmas as the characters.”

Another viewer concurred, praising: “By far the best historical drama show I have seen in years. This is one of those rare shows which immerses you in the midst of action and makes you feel what the main protagonist feels in the moment.”

The mineral-rich Arctic island is open for tourism. Whale-watching tours, excursions to the iconic puffin island and guided charters through remote settlements are just the beginning of what Greenland has to offer visitors.

One of the world’s most striking and least visited countries is bucking the anti-tourism trend.

Greenland is extending an open invitation to globetrotters and sharing a warm message with eager adventurers across the globe: We’re all set for your arrival.

“Come visit Greenland,” invites Nukartaa Andreassen, an employee at a water taxi service in Nuuk. “Learn about it, learn about us. We love to have you. We love to tell our stories and our culture.”

This island, rich in minerals and nestled in the Arctic, is embracing tourism with open arms. From whale-spotting odysseys to treks to the famed puffin island and guided tours of distant hamlets, Greenland is eager to exhibit its charms, hoping to shift focus away from past political squabbles, notably with Donald Trump.

“Our goal and mission is to present and be the ambassadors of Greenland,” declares Casper Frank Møller, CEO of Raw Arctic, a Nuuk-based tour operation. “and to show what beauty you can experience while you’re here.”

Following the initiation of a newfangled flight path between Nuuk and Newark, New Jersey, expectations are high for a surge in tourist interest this year. The first-ever direct link from the United States to Greenland via an American carrier launched with fanfare on June 14.

Previously, U.S. voyagers had to stopover in Iceland or Denmark before continuing their journey to Greenland. This development has simplified travel significantly, much to the delight of travellers like Doug Jenzen, who was among the inaugural passengers on the United Airlines flight departing from New Jersey.

“I arrived with the intention of exploring some of the natural wonders on the world’s largest island, aiming to promote ecotourism and sustainable travel while bolstering the local economy,” stated Jenzen.

Cruise ships are already able to dock on the island, but they contribute less to businesses catering to tourists as passengers typically eat and sleep onboard.

In 2024, Greenland welcomed around 150,000 tourists, according to Naaja Nathanielsen, Greenland’s business minister.

“We’re keen to expand the tourism sector. It’s a great fit for many in Greenland,” added Nathanielsen. “Tourism is about good vibes. It’s about sharing culture, history. It’s about storytelling. And as Inuit, that’s very much part of our heritage.”

Earlier this year, Greenland found itself in the global spotlight when Trump announced his desire to gain control of the semi-autonomous Danish territory, either through purchase or potentially by force.

Denmark, a NATO ally, along with Greenland, have firmly stated that the island is not for sale and have condemned reports of the U.S. gathering intelligence there.

Despite the diplomatic strain, Frank Møller of Raw Arctic sees a silver lining.

“It has kind of put Greenland on the world map. And it’s definitely a situation that Raw Arctic has used to our advantage,” he said.

However, he emphasised that any expansion of the tourism industry should occur at a pace that respects the voices and comfort levels of the approximately 56,000 residents on the island.

Andreassen, from Nuuk Water Taxi, agreed. “It’s very important for me to tell my own story. Because I always feel like when I meet new people, I always introduce a whole Greenland,” she remarked. “It’s important for me to show our own culture, our own nature. Not by television, not by other people from other countries.”

During a boat trip in June, Pinar Saatci, a 59-year-old holidaymaker from Turkey, was thrilled to observe several whales leaping out of the sea.

“It’s very exciting to be here, at the other part of the world, so far away from home,” she exclaimed. “It’s a very exciting and unforgettable moment.”

Risskov Rejser has been organising jaunts to Greenland for Danish globetrotters via her travel agency. Nevertheless, she harbours concerns over the effects of a deluge of tourists.

“For me, the worst thing would be if mass tourism starts and people come here, and sort of look upon the Greenland people as if they were a living museum,” she stated. “It has to be done in a respectful way and you have to consider what the consequences are.”

Bea Meitiner, 39, grew up in Spain and speaks both fluent Spanish and Basque. She is now in the process of moving back to the country after spending time there as a child

A travel blogger has voiced her struggles with the process of relocating to Spain, after trying to navigate the bureaucratic system on her own.

Despite being fluent in Spanish and having previously lived there, Bea Meitiner, 39, has found the path to becoming a Spanish resident far from straightforward, leading her to seek help.

Bea dreams of settling down in Navarra, an enchanting region boasting quaint villages, rugged mountains, and a leisurely lifestyle. Having spent her childhood in the area with her parents, she is proficient in both Spanish and Basque and is now endeavouring to return to the place filled with cherished memories.

However, while the prospect of a slower pace of life appeals to the Brit, she has found that this laid-back approach also characterises Spain’s government, which has hindered her efforts to establish herself in the region.

She revealed she has encountered obstacles in the process and admits to struggling alone in her quest to secure legal permission to reside in the country, reports the Express.

In response, Bea sought the expertise of Lucía Lagunas, a Spanish immigration solicitor from MySpainVisa, who has assisted thousands in their transition to the European nation. Their team manages all aspects required for settling in España, from paperwork to appointments to renewals.

Bea, reflecting on her journey of relocating to Spain, said: “Before reaching out to Lucia, I tried doing it on my own, by visiting the immigration office. I wasted three months and every single person I spoke to gave me different and contradicting information to the one before. Don’t make the same mistake I did. Get help from the start!”.

“I’ll be honest: Spanish bureaucracy is no joke. That’s why talking to a professional like Lucía makes a huge difference. If you’re craving a lifestyle with slower mornings, sunny afternoons, and maybe a glass of wine at lunch… then yes. Spain could be your next chapter.

“It’s not always perfect-yes, the paperwork can be annoying and things move slower than in the U.S. or U.K.-but the reward is totally worth it.”

She also shed light on the lessons she’s learned while navigating Spanish bureaucracy and elaborated on why Spain is such an alluring destination for expatriates.

Discussing the various locations Spain has to offer, Bea mentioned: “They’re fantastic, but also more expensive and faster-paced. Ideal for younger people or those who still want a bit of that ‘city hustle’.”

Moreover, Bea suggested that these places may suit individuals who plan on working remotely or running their businesses.

In terms of Mallorca, she highlighted it as offering an excellent blend of urban and island lifestyles, ideal for those seeking equilibrium. The capital, Palma, is witnessing advancements in infrastructure and a burgeoning international community.

However, she cautioned prospective movers about the recent anti-tourist sentiment, which has started to affect British residents.

Valencia is being hailed as a top choice for expats, with its bike-friendly streets, lush parks, and inviting beaches. The city’s dynamic food scene is a hit with aficionados of Spanish cuisine.

“Many of our retired clients choose Valencia,” Lucía revealed. “It’s peaceful, beautiful, and has an amazing quality of life.”

Discussing visa options and residency.

Lucia explained: “Many of our clients start with the non-lucrative visa or retirement route, and eventually apply for permanent residency.”
