On October 24, 2025, Lily said in a statement: “I’ve tried to document my life in a new city and the events that led me to where I am in my life now.

ANOTHER TikTok trend has taken off, this time featuring a combo of iconic tracks from different genres and eras.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Beez in the Trap trend, which is clocking up tens of millions of views and spawning hundreds of thousands of videos.

What is the Beez in the Trap trend? 

The Beez in the Trap trend is a viral TikTok phenomenon combining two iconic tracks.

The mashup has produced a surge of videos, with participants lip-syncing lines from both songs in a duet or surprise reveal.

As of October 2025, it is one of the platform’s most popular viral sounds.

The remix at the heart of the trend was originally made by TikToker DJ Auxlord in August 2025, but didn’t explode online until a few months later.

What were the original songs? 

The original songs fuelling this trend come from different genres and eras – Nicki Minaj’s 2012 hip hop single Beez in the Trap and 4 Non Blondes’ 1993 alternative rock hit What’s Up.

Beez in the Trap, featuring rapper 2 Chainz, was released on May 29, 2012 as a single from her second studio album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.

Minaj said the phrase “I beez in the trap” means she’s always making money, as she explained on the Graham Norton Show when the song came out.

During the interview, Minaj clarified that “beez” is slang for “I am always” and “the trap” refers to any place where money is made.

The other single, 4 Non Blondes’ What’s Up, was released on June 11, 1993 and went on to become one of the decade’s definitive rock anthems.

Written and sung by Linda Perry, the song’s rallying chorus of “what’s going on?” became ingrained in pop culture.

The mashup has brought both songs new attention on social media.

The clips usually begin with someone lip-syncing the opening line from What’s Up over the beat of Minaj’s track.

The focus then swaps to another participant, who delivers Minaj’s razor-sharp hook.

As of November 28, 2025, the trend has seen over 600,000 TikTok videos created.

It has been embraced by both of the original artists, with 4 Non Blondes’ Linda Perry telling Rolling Stone it is “ridiculous in all the best ways”.

What celebrities have been doing the trend? 

Education advocate and youngest-ever Nobel Peace Prize laureate Malala Yousafzai joined Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show for a rendition, which has been viewed over 73million as of November 28, 2025.

Sabrina Carpenter and Marcello Hernandez did a version that has so far been viewed over 18million times.

Other major celebs taking part in the trend include rapper Ice Spice with PinkPanthress and Quen Blackwell, while Jennifer Lopez and former 4 Non Blondes singer Linda Perry – who sang the vocal on the original – have joined in on the fun.

Kylie Jenner and Khloe Kardashian have also had a go, as well as Gordon Ramsay, his wife Tana and daughter Tilly.

METALLICA are bringing the M72 World Tour back to the UK in summer 2026, and demand is sky high.

If you missed out on the first wave, do not panic—here are the confirmed dates, who is supporting, and the most innovative ways to still grab seats for Glasgow, Cardiff, and London.

What are Metallica’s UK tour dates 2026?

Metallica have set four massive UK shows for June and July 2026 as part of the M72 World Tour, with different setlists and support lineups across the weekend.

• Glasgow, Scotland
  Venue: Hampden Park
  Date: Thursday, June 25, 2026
  Supporting acts: Gojira and Knocked Loose 
• Cardiff, Wales
  Venue: Principality Stadium
  Date: Sunday, June 28, 2026
  Supporting acts: Gojira and Knocked Loose

It is designed so fans can go twice and get a completely fresh night each time.

Two‑day tickets for the 2026 European leg went on general sale on May 30, 2025, with fan club presales earlier that week.

For London specifically, single‑day tickets were released later and went on sale on Friday, July 25, 2025.

How can I still get tickets for Metallica’s UK tour?

If your chosen date is now sold out, you still have a few solid routes to get in. Some are official and face value, others are resale and often carry a markup.

Here is what to try, in order.

1. Check primary sites for drops and verified listings

Start with the official primary agents. Inventory does move.

Extra production holds and restricted views can be released closer to the show, and Ticketmaster remains the key place to check for any new London Stadium allocations and verified listings when they appear.

Keep refreshing on on-sale anniversaries and ahead of staging deadlines.

2. Try official hospitality for guaranteed seats

Hospitality and VIP packages are often still available even when standard tickets are sold out.

Seat Unique is the official hospitality partner for Metallica’s UK dates, with packages for London and Cardiff that bundle premium seats, lounge access and extras.

These are pricier but secure, and availability tends to last longer than standard tickets. 

VIP options typically include fast‑track entry, lounge access, premium seating and early access, which can be a game-changer if you want a smoother day out.

3. Look at Enhanced Experiences and fan club options

Metallica also run official Enhanced Experience packages via their own channels for the M72 tour.

Perks vary by city, but expect premium views, early entry or special access, plus exclusive merch.

The band have also offered an I Disappear ticket for this tour, granting general admission floor access with early entry across multiple shows, subject to availability and terms.

If you are flexible and planning more than one date, that pass can be highly valuable.

4. Use trusted secondary marketplaces carefully

If the primary route is tapped out, secondary marketplaces can help.

Sites like Viagogo and StubHub may have tickets listed by other fans.

Prices can be above face value, and fees add up, so read the listings closely and check seller guarantees before you buy.

Ticombo is another option some fans use for peer‑to‑peer resales.

Only purchase from platforms that offer clear protection in case of event changes or invalid barcodes.

5. Set alerts and keep checking back

Speed matters. Set up alerts so you are first in line when something drops.

MICHAEL McIntyre is a familiar face on TV and the comedy circuit, often using his family life as a source for his hilarious material.

Here we get to know his beloved wife Kitty Ward, who was no stranger to the spotlight even before she got together with the famous funnyman.

Who is Michael McIntyre’s wife Kitty?

Kitty Ward is the wife of world-famous comedian Michael McIntyre.

She is the daughter of the late film star Simon Ward and sister of Young Sherlock Holmes actress Sophie Ward.

But unlike her celebrity relatives, Kitty keeps her private life under wraps.

She reportedly works as an aromatherapist in London.

Michael McIntyre’s The Wheel fans in tears as contestant breaks show record

Kitty has provided plenty of comedic material for her husband over the years – the most famous being his hilarious sketch about Kitty trying to put her tights on.

Michael and Kitty live together in Hampstead, London, 

When did they get married?

Michael and his wife Kitty tied the knot in 2003.

He wrote in his 2010 book Life and Laughing: “She was the girl I had been looking for. In the romantic comedy that was my life, this would have made a good ending.

“We would fall happily ever after. Within moments of seeing her and chatting to her I was totally up for that ending. ­Unfortunately, she wasn’t.”

But the comedian managed to woo Kitty, and the pair began dating.

He revealed on Desert Island Discs that his family found it difficult to accept he had a girlfriend.

McIntyre said: “Unfortunately my grandma didn’t really like it when I got a girlfriend. She was trying to break us up which was funny for a while but then it became quite vicious, an untenable ­situation.”

However, Michael developed a strong relationship with Kitty’s own parents – Alexandra and Simon Ward, an actor who starred in Young Winston.

After he passed away in 2012, Michael revealed: “He was one of my closest friends. He would come to my gigs in the early days.”

Do they have any children?

The pair have two sons together named Lucas and Oscar.

Both of Michael’s sons have been the subject of his comedy sketches.

In a sketch about the nightly struggle of putting his sons to bed, the comedian joked: “You never love your children more than when they’re unconscious, but still breathing.”

In another gag about his kids, he said: “My son’s got two words: car and map, that’s all he can say. ‘Car, car, map, car!’

“I’m fairly worried he’s trying to escape. So if the next word is passport, we’re in serious trouble.”

When is the Wheel back on TV?

The Wheel is spinning its way back onto BBC One and iPlayer.

PLANS changed before you’ve even packed your case?

If you need to cancel a Jet2 flight, here’s how it works right now, plus what that means for refunds and fees.

How do you cancel a Jet2 flight?

It’s straightforward to cancel online.

Go to Manage My Booking, log in with your details and select Cancel flights.

Follow the on-screen steps to confirm your request.

You should receive confirmation once you’ve completed the process in Manage My Booking.

Will I get my money back if I cancel?

Jet2 treats flight-only bookings as non-refundable in most cases.

If you choose to cancel, you should not expect a cash refund unless your fare type or specific circumstances state otherwise.

Always check your booking confirmation and fare conditions before you cancel, and consider whether your travel insurance covers you for your reason to cancel.

What are my options if I don’t want to lose the fare?

If you can still travel but need different dates or times, you can amend your booking instead of cancelling.

Jet2 lets you change flights in Manage My Booking, subject to a change fee and any fare difference.

Name changes are also permitted for a fee if someone else can take your place, which can be more cost-effective than cancelling outright.

How much does it cost to change a Jet2 flight?

Jet2 charges a fixed change fee per person per flight plus any difference between your original fare and the new fare available at the time you make the change.

Exact costs vary by route, season and availability, so you’ll see the total before you pay when you go through the change process in Manage My Booking.

Can I cancel a Jet2holidays package instead?

Flight-only bookings and Jet2holidays packages have different rules.

Package holidays follow Jet2holidays terms and conditions, including set cancellation charges on a sliding scale.

Check the Jet2holidays Manage My Booking FAQs and your booking documents for the latest charges before you decide.

If you booked a package through a third party or travel agent, speak to them first, as their terms may also apply.

What if Jet2 cancels my flight?

If Jet2 cancels your flight, you’ll be offered alternative arrangements or a refund according to Jet2’s policies.

Will I get my money back for the flight?

If the ticket you bought is refundable, you will receive the money back.

The cancellation charges, if you incur any, will be deducted from your refund.

Cancellation charges are applied to cover the transaction costs and to compensate the airline if they fail to resell your place.

If the fare you bought is non-refundable (such as Economy Lite), then you will not receive any money back, though you may be eligible for a refund on unutilised government taxes.

If you cancel within 24 hours of booking (and your flight is at least 7 days away), you are typically eligible for a full refund with no cancellation fee under the airline’s “24-Hour Risk-Free” policy.

How much does it cost to change a Qatar Airways flight?

The cost to change a Qatar Airways flight depends heavily on the type of fare class you bought and your Privilege Club status.

A fixed change fee will be applied to process the transaction, though this may be waived depending on your ticket.

Recent policy updates have introduced a low USD $25 change fee for changes made online for some fares.

However, for basic Economy Lite tickets, the fixed change fee can still be higher, ranging from USD $100 to USD $125.

Platinum and Gold members are often exempt from change fees when modifying their flight more than 24 hours before departure.

If the new flight you choose costs more than the one you had, you must pay the difference to even the amount up.

Derek Lunsford is an American IFBB Pro bodybuilder and Mr Olympia champion who’s as devoted to his family as he is to his training.

Here’s the lowdown on his wife, their family life, and the latest on his success in Olympia.

3

Who is Derek Lunsford’s wife, Jhelsin?

Derek is married to Jhelsin Mabaga, a fitness professional who focuses on helping clients with weight loss and muscle building.

She’s built her own following by sharing practical coaching content and healthy-living advice online.

The pair have been together for more than a decade and tied the knot in 2022, marking two years of marriage in 2024.

Jhelsin regularly features in Derek’s posts, with the couple sharing glimpses of their life together, from gym sessions to big family milestones.

Derek has publicly praised her as his best friend and the “mother of our baby girl.”

Does Derek Lunsford have any children?

Derek and Jhelsin welcomed a baby girl in January 2024.

He shared the news shortly after the birth and has since posted heartfelt tributes to his wife and daughter.

In a later message celebrating their relationship, Derek also referred to their daughter by name, Evie.

3

Who is Derek Lunsford?

Born May 14, 1993, in Petersburg, Indiana, Derek Lunsford competes in the Men’s Open division of the IFBB Pro League.

He first made waves after moving up from the 212 class, showcasing the blend of size, symmetry, and conditioning needed to contend with the biggest names in the sport.

His fast rise included an early pro splash at the Tampa Pro in the 212 division and, after stepping into Open, he delivered on the sport’s biggest stage by becoming the 2023 Mr Olympia champion.

Has Derek Lunsford appeared at Mr Olympia?

Derek has become a fixture at the Olympia weekend.

After early success in the 212s, he transitioned to Open and captured the Mr Olympia title in 2023, confirming his status among bodybuilding’s elite.

He has continued to compete at the very top since then, balancing the demands of championship prep with new-dad life.

Derek reclaimed the Sandow in 2025, becoming a two-time Mr Olympia champion.

He sealed the win on Saturday night against a stacked field to put his name back on the trophy after the 2024 setback.

3

Why fans love the Lunsfords’ updates

Beyond the hardware, fans connect with Derek because he brings them along for the ride — from late-night posing updates to intimate family moments.

Posts like his “31 and glowing!” birthday tribute to Jhelsin, calling her the “mother of our baby girl,” have become some of his most-liked family content, showing the softer side of a world-class competitor.

Likewise, his “13 years together and 2 years married” message thanking God “every single day for you and Evie” says a lot about where his priorities are these days: faith, family, and physiques — in that order.

JODIE Whittaker and Suranne Jones are joined by a host of familiar faces for their new thriller Frauds.

Here’s everything you need to know about whether the crime caper is based on a true story and how to watch it.

ITV’s Frauds is about two former partners-in-crime who reunite for one last audacious heist after one of them is released from prison on compassionate grounds.

The synopsis for the series reads: “Bert and Sam embark on the most audacious of art thefts, gathering a talented team of outcasts to help them plan this audacious crime.

“Whilst the team must overcome numerous challenges before they can pull off the heist, it’s the power struggle between Bert and Sam that threatens to derail their plans and destroy them both.

“Set against the epic rolling hills of southern Spain and the dark criminal underbelly that casts a shadow over the glistening coast, Frauds is a complex and addictive story of friendship, deception and survival.”

It blends dark comedy with the cinematic heist genre, set against the scenic backdrop of southern Spain — but is it a true story?

When is Frauds on?

Frauds premiered at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX on Sunday, October 5, 2025.

The series includes six episodes airing on consecutive Sunday and Monday nights over three weeks.

All episodes are also available on ITVX for streaming.

Is Frauds based on a true story?

Frauds is a work of fiction created by Suranne Jones and co-writer Anne-Marie O’Connor.

The plot revolves around Bert, who has been in a Spanish prison for ten years and is released due to a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Upon release, she reconnects with her former partner Sam to plan a multi-million-pound art heist.

While the series captures the feel of real criminal undertakings, it is not an adaptation of a true crime or real-life story.

What is the Frauds cast?

Frauds tells the story of Bert and Sam, whose toxic friendship will be pushed to the ultimate test.

Bert tries to lure her pal out of criminal retirement to pull off a multi-million-pound art heist.

Suranne Jones stars as Bert — the career criminal recently released from prison.

Jodie Whittaker features as Sam, her estranged former partner in crime.

Lost Boys and Fairies actress Elizabeth Berrington plays a master illusionist, while I May Destroy You’s Karan Gill portrays the world’s greatest forger.

Talisa Garcia features as drag star Miss Take, and Christian Cooke takes on the role of moneylender Deegs.

Frauds’ cast is an ensemble of British and Spanish actors, reflecting the series’ international setting — the show was shot in Spain.

Frauds was created and executive produced by Suranne Jones and Anne-Marie O’Connor.

The full cast is as follows:

• Jodie Whittaker as Sam

Both sides are wearing black armbands at St James’ Park in memory of former Gunners academy striker Billy Vigar.

Why are Arsenal and Newcastle players wearing black armbands?

Arsenal and Newcastle players are wearing black armbands this afternoon in tribute to the late Billy Vigar.

The 21-year-old died following a horrific brain injury suffered when he tragically hit his head during a match while playing for Chichester City at Wingate & Finchley last Saturday.

Vigar received lengthy treatment on the pitch after hitting his head before being airlifted to the hospital and placed in an induced coma.

He then underwent surgery but tragically died from his injuries on Thursday.

Vigar joined the Gunners academy at the age of 14 and went on to represent the North London outfit at under-18 level, in Premier League 2 and the EFL Trophy.

Arsenal released the following statement regarding Vigar’s death: “Everyone at Arsenal is devastated by the shocking news that former academy graduate Billy Vigar has passed away.

“All our thoughts are with his family and loved ones at this time.

“Rest in peace, Billy.”

Last Saturday’s awful incident at Wingate & Finchley’s Maurice Rebak Stadium has sparked calls for brick walls surrounding football pitches to be outlawed in the UK.

A petition has gathered more than 12,000 signatures, with the FA confirming on Friday that they are launching a review.

THE world’s best will step up to the oche once again for this year’s Swiss Darts Trophy – and the action is underway!

Martin Schindler pulled off an incredible comeback against Ryan Searle to win the 2024 crown.

However, the German returns to Basel as a 16th seed, meaning he could face a potential banana skin in his opening encounter.

World No1 Luke Humphries is also competing in Basel and will be determined to bounce back from his shock quarter-final defeat in last weekend’s Hungarian Darts Trophy.

But teen sensation Luke Littler will not be participating in the 13th stop on the PDC European Tour.

Quarter-finals, semi-finals and final from 6pm

DANI Dyer has quit Strictly Come Dancing days before the live shows after injuring her ankle in training.

Dani’s exit dropped just as the cast was putting the final polish on their first live dances.

4

She had taken part in the launch show — filmed ahead of transmission — where her partnership with Nikita was revealed to viewers.

The plan was to hit the floor this weekend, but the fracture means she won’t make it to that first Saturday night.

It’s a tough blow for Dani and for Nikita, who was ready to kick off the series with a crowd-pleasing ballroom number.

Here’s what happened and where things stand with a replacement.

Why has Dani Dyer pulled out of Strictly 2025?

Dani suffered a nasty ankle injury during rehearsals and has been forced to withdraw on medical advice.

She fell during a Friday training session, her foot ballooned over the weekend, and a hospital scan confirmed a fracture, leaving doctors with no choice but to bench her for the series.

The timing is brutal, coming just days before the first live show after she’d already filmed the pre-recorded launch where her pro partner was revealed.

In an emotional update to fans, Dani explained that continuing would risk exacerbating the injury.

She’d been gearing up for a fast ballroom routine in week one, but admitted taking to the floor with a fracture simply wasn’t possible.

The Love Island winner said she was gutted to walk away so close to the live shows after throwing herself into training.

What did Dani say about quitting?

The TV favourite struggled to hold back tears as she confirmed her exit, calling it “heartbreaking” to bow out before she’d had the chance to perform live.

She also thanked viewers for their support and said she’d be cheering the remaining couples on from the sofa while she focused on healing up.

Dani was particularly disappointed not to get her shot with pro partner Nikita Kuzmin after their pairing was unveiled on the launch show, saying she’d hoped to make her mark on the ballroom this year.

What has Nikita Kuzmin said — and could Dani return?

Nikita broke his silence with a heartfelt message to fans and to Dani, praising her effort in the training room and saying he was proud of how hard she’d worked before the injury struck.

He admitted he was “gutted” to lose his celebrity partner so close to week one, and hinted he’d love the chance to dance with Dani in the future when she’s fit again.

In a further update, Nikita suggested the door isn’t closed on Dani appearing down the line in some capacity — whether that’s a studio visit later in the run or even a comeback in a future series once she’s fully recovered.

Is Dani Dyer being replaced?

4

The BBC has confirmed Amber Davies is stepping into the Strictly 2025 line-up after Dani Dyer’s shock withdrawal with a fractured ankle.

Amber won Love Island in 2017 and has since established a successful stage career, starring in West End hits such as 9 to 5: The Musical and Pretty Woman: The Musical.

Thrown straight in at the deep end, Amber will make her Strictly debut in the first live show on Saturday, September 27.

She and Nikita are set to perform a Waltz as they bid to get their scores on the board and settle those first-night nerves.

What this means for week one

The live show will go ahead with a new name slotted into the line-up if producers can finalise the replacement in time.

The incoming celebrity will need to fast-track rehearsals to match the rest of the cast, and their debut dance is likely to be a classic ballroom routine that can be polished quickly in the studio.

Expect a supportive welcome from the judges and some leeway from viewers as the new pairing finds its footing under pressure.

When is Strictly 2025 on?

4

The pre-recorded launch has already aired, revealing the celebrity-pro pairings and giving fans a first look at the glamour.

The live shows start this Saturday night on BBC One, with catch-up available on BBC iPlayer shortly after transmission.

Week one traditionally has no elimination, so viewers will get to see every couple — including the late replacement — take to the floor before the first vote opens the following week.

RASMUS HOJGAARD has the rather regrettable responsibility of replacing his twin brother at the 2025 Ryder Cup.

Here we get to know the Danish driver’s better half Julie Sander Danielsen, who’s a regular and supportive presence at her boyfriend’s tournaments.

Who is Rasmus Hojgaard?

Rasmus Hojgaard was born on March 12, 2001, in Billund, Denmark.

He began playing golf aged four with his identical twin brother Nicolai.

Both brothers rose rapidly in the sport, reaching the pinnacle of the game — Nicolai was part of the victorious European Ryder Cup team in 2023.

Unfortunately, he didn’t make Team Europe this year — for the 2025 Ryder Cup, only one change has been made to the lineup.

Nicolai was replaced by twin brother Rasmus after he qualified through the ranking system.

Rasmus turned professional in 2019, making his mark by winning the AfrAsia Bank Mauritius Open the same year.

In the process, he became the third-youngest winner in European Tour history at just 18 years and 271 days old.

Rasmus has gone on to collect five European Tour wins so far, including notable victories such as the 2020 ISPS Handa UK Championship, 2021 Omega European Masters and 2023 Made in Himmerland in Denmark.

The twin brothers hold the record for being the first siblings to win European Tour events in back-to-back weeks.

Rasmus missed the 2023 Ryder Cup due to injury, but will be keen to make amends at this year’s event.

Who is Rasmus Hojgaard’s girlfriend Julie Sander Danielsen?

Rasmus Hojgaard’s girlfriend is Julie Sander Danielsen, who leads a relatively secretive life away from the public spotlight. 

Julie hails from Vejle, Denmark — although she now lives in Aarhus, the country’s second-largest city.

Rasmus and Julie have been seen together on social media and at events dating back as far as 2019.

However specific details of how they met and their ongoing relationship remain private.

The Ryder Cup is back THIS WEEK as Team Europe hope to defend their crown on American soil

Luke Donald‘s team has travelled to New York ahead of the big start on Friday.

Europe has dominated the prestigious competition in the 21st century, winning eight of the 11 meetings since 2002.

But only two of those wins have come in the United States, with Team USA winning both the 2021 and 2016 competitions.

In fact, Team Europe has only won one of the four Ryder Cups held in the US – 2012 – since their win there in 2004 and Team USA enter as the odds-on bookies’ favourites.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Ryder Cup 2025…

When is the Ryder Cup 2025 on?

The Ryder Cup is a biennial competition between teams from the US and Europe.

The 2025 edition starts on Friday, 26 September and lasts for three days, taking place at Bethpage Black, Farmingdale, New York.

Friday features foursomes and fourball matches, with Saturday following a similar format, while Sunday consists of twelve singles matches.

Taking a break from the more impartial approach of previous years, NBC has announced a special guest broadcaster for this year’s Ryder Cup coverage.

NBC’s lead golf producer Tommy Roy boasted about how its presenters and pundits will be very unabashedly partisan towards the Team US.

He also revealed that English great and five-time Ryder Cup winner Nick Faldo will be back in the booth at Bethpage Black.

Last year, Mark Selby claimed the Clive Everton Trophy for the first time after beating fellow four-time world champion John Higgins in the final.

The Jester from Leicester secured a 10-5 victory over the Scotsman as he went one better than the 2023 British Open, where he lost in the final to Mark Williams.

In 2024, World No1 Judd Trump became only the third player in history to reach 1,000 century breaks.

But in the very same match, he was eliminated by Mark Allen following a 5-3 defeat in the quarter-finals.

Trump has never won the British Open and will be looking to add the Clive Everton Trophy to his ever-expanding collection of titles.

Kyren Wilson also features in Cheltenham as he looks to put his poor display at the English Open last week behind him.

There will be no Ronnie O’Sullivan this week after the Rocket withdrew from the competition on medical grounds last Tuesday.
