I’m A Celebrity’s fourth star Leomie Anderson lands in Australia to join stellar line-up

Model Leomie Anderson has become the fourth star to land in Australia ahead of I’m A Celebrity after Wayne Rooney, Ade Adepitan and Sharky were all seen landing Down Under

Model Leomie Anderson has become the fourth star to land in Australia for I’m A Celebrity.

Over her career, Leomie has modelled for Victoria’s Secret multiple times and became one of their Angels in 2019.Speaking as she arrived, Leomie told The Mirror: “I came here to see the sights baby, the Gold Coast it’s beautiful.”

The ITV jungle show is back in just a few days’ time and the stars have started to arrive Down Under. Wayne Rooney was one of the first to arrive, with the former footballer being one of the show’s most expensive signings ever.

Elsewhere, social media star Sharky, whose real name is Sharmarke Mohamud, also arrived in Brisbane, with bosses said to be hoping he will emulate the success of last year’s winner AngryGinge.

Ade Adepitan was the third to arrive Down Under. Pretending, as all arriving stars do, that he isn’t really in town to appear on I’m A Celeb, the former wheelchair basketball player said: “I am here to advise on the 2027 Australian tap-dancing festival. I am here to dance.” Asked what he would miss most about being away, he said: “Time with my family.”

Meanwhile, Sam Thompson, 34, is returning to the Jungle this year, fronting the spin-off show, Unpacked, alongside former Mirror journalist turned Capital FM presenter, Kemi Rodgers.

Sam says he was stunned to be asked to present the programme. Of the show’s main hosts Ant and Dec, he said: “They’re so lovely. I’ve seen them more than they probably ever want to see me in their lives. I’m like that boy who used to sit on the living room floor with his parents and watch the jungle.

“They are literally the reason I wanted to do the jungle in the first place. To be able to work right next to them, it’s just one of the coolest things in the world. “They are so gracious. They are so genuine. They just want you to do well..”

Meanwhile, Wayne’s wife Coleen has said she has vowed to get “revenge” on her husband. Insiders say Coleen intended to “blow the voting app up” as she votes for her husband to do a succession of Bushtucker trials.

Friends say we can expect Coleen to take to the task with “utmost determination.” They said: “They are all rooting for Wayne to do as many as possible – its only right after they all voted for her. She is laughing how she wants her revenge.

“Wayne has a lot to live up to Coleen’s amazing performance in the jungle two years ago but he is determined to give it a good go. She was a huge influence in him deciding to sign on the dotted line. He has no shortage of advice from Coleen who became a firm favourite with viewers during her own stint in camp.”

The former England captain is understood to be particularly keen to impress his four sons – Kai, 16, Klay, 13, Kit, ten, and Cass, eight – by taking on the trials.

DC star ‘ruled out’ as James Bond’s fourth auditionee as insider claims bosses ‘are looking for a certain body type’

A BRITISH DC show star has been reportedly ‘ruled out’ as James Bond – with bosses said to be ‘looking for a certain body type.’

A total of four actors are understood to be in the running for the part with Callum Turner, Josh O’Connor and Jack Lowden, all 36, understood to have attended the final screen tests.

The identity of the fourth star has been kept under wraps – leading to fan speculation as to who it is.

One such name is London-born Aaron Pierre, who plays John Stewart/Green Lantern in DC Comics-inspired Lanterns.

However, a Hollywood Insider podcast has seemingly ruled out the 32-year-old for 007.

Pop culture critic and author Joanna Robinson featured as a guest on The Big Picture podcast.

Sean then wondered out loud whether Aaron Pierre was the unidentified James Bond auditionee.

Joanna revealed she knew the mystery actor’s identity, but couldn’t disclose it while on air.

Sean said: “We also heard some rumours. I don’t believe [Aaron Pierre] is in the mix.”

As the others remarked Aaron should be, Sean continued: “That’s what I’m saying. It’s like, obvious.

“The one thing I would say would be a strike against that is that [Daniel] Craig was also kind of a bruiser Bond.

“I think Pierre because of his physique and strength as a performer, he would also be kind of a bruiser bond.

“The sense I’m getting is that they’re going to go back to kind of a lithe boy.

“That’s the energy they want instead of a “I will choke you out” Bond.”

One of the frontrunners, Jack Lowden, has received backing from one of his Hollywood co-stars.

Jack, who plays River Cartwright in Apple TV’s Slow Horses, stars alongside Kristin Scott Thomas.

The actress confessed he would be “very, very good” if he was to land the role.

Speaking to The Times, the 66-year-old star said: “Oh god, I wish I knew.

“He’s got that twinkle, he’s cheeky and he’s a very, very good actor.”

Both her parents were then absent for the second series before Katie’s ban was overturned for the third series where she began filming for the first time.

Peter also made a return to the series around this time as well.

Her own show isn’t the only TV appearance the young influencer has going on with the star currently appearing in Celebrity Race Across The World with her brother Junior.

Families brace for a fourth winter of wind, rain and floods in Gaza’s camps | Gaza News

Gaza City — Mohammed al-Jamal, 60, tries to secure the nylon sheets of his family’s worn-out tent as a storm approaches his displacement camp on a beach in western Gaza City.

He and his sons pull at the tarpaulin, trying to fasten it firmly to the ground for protection from rain and wind coming in from the sea.

This will be the fourth winter that displaced Palestinians in Gaza have faced without adequate shelter. Many still live in tents and makeshift structures that offer little protection against the impending winter weather when temperatures can drop to 7C (below 45F) but can feel much colder due to strong coastal winds and rain.

The family cannot afford to fix their damaged tent with a replacement tarpaulin costing between 120 and 150 shekels ($37-$47) in local markets.

All al-Jamal can do is patch up the damaged shelter and hope it holds through the coming storm.

“We are trying to prepare as much as we can to protect ourselves from the water and the wind,” he said. “We follow the weather reports, and whenever there is a warning of a storm, we start preparing. But once the storm comes, everything gets torn apart, and we have to start all over again. It is continuous suffering throughout the winter.”

Mass displacement

Al-Jamal, originally from Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood, has been displaced several times since Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza began in October 2023.

About 30 members of his extended family live in these difficult living conditions.

“We are just trying to adapt to what we have. This is what is available to us. We need everything,” he said.

When it rains, water enters the tent and floods their living space, risking damage to their meagre belongings.

When temperatures drop, tents offer little protection for the displaced, with al-Jamal and his family having no choice but to put on more layers of clothing.

“We are out in the open. We are living in the street, not in houses that protect us,” he said.

Al-Jamal said he had repeatedly heard promises that shelter materials and caravans would be allowed into Gaza, but none had arrived for his family, and he had not seen any of them enter.

He described these announcements as “false promises and lies” that had left displaced families waiting for help that never came.

“Our demand is to have our lives back the way they were before,” he said.

Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza has killed more than 74,500 Palestinians and destroyed or damaged more than 80 percent of buildings. With homes and infrastructure in Gaza destroyed, about 1.5 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million people are living in tents or makeshift shelters.

Many of the displaced have been forced to move from city to city when Israeli assaults begin on their homes or camps.

At least 294,250 families in Gaza need winter shelter assistance, according to the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), but with current supplies, only 52,000 families, roughly 18 percent of those in need, have access to partial humanitarian assistance.

More than 65 percent of displaced households were living in tents or makeshift shelters, according to a Shelter Cluster survey, with more than half of those shelters in poor or very poor condition.

Israel’s siege on Gaza has also affected supplies reaching the enclave, with the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) saying on October 5 that at least 500 truckloads of shelter materials were awaiting entry or procurement.

At the current pace, NRC said, it could take more than seven months for those supplies to enter Gaza. The materials include tents, tarpaulins, ropes and other items needed to repair shelters.

Winter around the corner

For families already living in torn tents, the shortage leaves few options beyond repeatedly repairing the same shelters.

Khitam Salman, 39, originally from Beit Lahiya in northern Gaza, has been displaced multiple times over the past two years.

Now living near the beach, she is trying to prepare for winter with tents that have already suffered repeated damage.

“Every time there is a storm, we put up the tarpaulins and tie them down, only to have to do it all over again,” she said. “With every low-pressure system, it is the same.”

Khitam said one of the family’s tents had collapsed four times while they were sleeping inside and was torn, allowing sand to enter and offering little protection from rain and wind.

She is trying to cover the family’s tents and the space where they store their belongings, but the costs are beyond their means.

“We need a tarpaulin for this tent, another for the other one, and one for the room where we keep our belongings,” she said. “But we don’t have the means. We have done what we can.”

Her husband works in the health sector, but she said he receives his salary only once every three months, and it is not enough to cover the family’s needs.

“The tents are not suitable for living in any more,” she said. “They are torn, and sand gets inside. It is exhausting.”

Last winter, after their tent collapsed and their belongings were soaked, Salman said she became so overwhelmed that she walked away and sat by the sea for hours.

“I was so frustrated,” she recalled. “The tent had fallen, everything was flooded, and all our belongings were wet.”

“I’m worried about this winter … that the whole nightmare will repeat itself all over again.”

Damaged roads, drainage and sewage systems also increase the risk that rainwater will mix with wastewater and swamp the camps.

Husni Muhanna, spokesperson for Gaza Municipality, said more than 85 percent of the city’s infrastructure had been damaged and its rainwater drainage system was operating at about 20 percent of its previous capacity.

Rubble, damaged drainage networks and shortages of heavy machinery, fuel and maintenance materials are hampering preparations for winter, Muhanna said.

The municipality has begun emergency cleaning and maintenance work, but its efforts remain constrained by a lack of resources.

Flood risks beyond tents

Yosra Mesleh, 45, was displaced from her home in Gaza City’s Nassr neighbourhood when her home was destroyed and is preparing for her second winter living in a tent.

Preparing for winter means thinking about what to do when water enters their tents and soaks bedding and belongings. When this happens, they often have nowhere dry to sit, cook or eat.

“When it rained last winter, the water came inside and reached the bedding. Everything got wet,” she said. “It was difficult to find somewhere to sit while we waited for everything to dry.”

In summer, the heat and humidity inside the tent were unbearable, she said, with water shortages compounding their dire living situation.

“The place where we are living is not healthy or safe. It is not suitable for summer or winter,” she said.

Her husband has been out of work since the beginning of the war, while her son is struggling to cover his own expenses.

“We need tents and tarpaulins. We need cooking utensils and a proper place to prepare food. We also need a regular supply of gas,” she said.

Without cooking gas, she worries about how the family will prepare meals when rain keeps them inside.

She remembers life before the war, when life was hard but they had an apartment and her husband ran a tea and coffee shop. They have since lost their home and their only source of income.

“We are not asking for towers or anything extravagant,” she said. “We are asking for tarpaulins and tents, for a dignified life.”

Two huge British stars ‘ruled out as James Bond’s mystery fourth actor in the running’ as 007 race heats up

TWO major stars have been ruled out as the mystery fourth actor currently vying to be the next James Bond.

The coveted role has been up for grabs following the release of 007 blockbuster No Time To Die in 2021, Craig’s fifth and final outing as the Martini-swilling secret agent.

Final screen tests were held with four remaining hopefuls at London’s Bray Studios over the weekend, but an official announcement is yet to be made by new franchise owners Amazon MGM Studios.

It’s understood that three of those actors – understood to be Jack Lowden, Callum Turner and Josh O’Connor – were joined by a fourth, currently unnamed star, as decisive auditions got underway.

But two British actors, both previously linked with the role, have been ruled out as the final candidate – widely thought to be Jack Barton.

“We’ve heard, reliably so, that Harris Dickinson and Nicholas Hoult are not the 4th person. Testing is said to be occurring today and going into the weekend,” read an article shared by The Hollywood Reporter on Friday.

Dickinson, 30, is currently in the midst of back-to-back shooting schedules for director Sam Mendes’ ambitious four-film Beatles project, in which he will play John Lennon.

Meanwhile, Hoult, 36, has four major films in post-production – among them the eagerly anticipated DC adventure Man Of Tomorrow, which sees him reprise his role as Superman nemesis Lex Luthor.

Australian star Jacob Elordi is also out the running, while the much-fancied Idris Elba, Theo James and James Norton are believed to be out of contention.

Instead, Amazon MGM Studios are said to be keen on the lesser known Barton, 31, whose past screen credits include the popular Netflix drama Heartstopper.

Other than a handful of other minor TV roles, little else is known about the young actor, but he reportedly impressed producers enough to earn critical screen tests alongside his three Bond rivals.

Despite Barton’s emergence, fans remain convinced they have already worked out who the final star in the James Bond race is – and Taylor Swift fans will be very familiar with him.

The latest Bond theory suggests that the singer’s ex-boyfriend Joe Alwyn, 35, who she dated for six years until 2023, is the secret actor.

Fans believe the link to the actor and the 007 role is Bond casting director Nina Gold, 59.

Taking to Reddit to discuss, a fan wrote: “Nina Gold was one of the casting directors for Thor, too, and cast Joe in his first movie role. She knows him as far back as drama school”

Agreeing this person penned: “Nina Gold is doing the casting and knows Joe and cast him in the brutalist and Hamnet so he’s known by the department and may be on the radar of the casting team”

A third added: “Yeah, and he is supposed to be filming in NYC for a Rom com. but was in London this week for a friend’s wedding and potentially this audition.”

A fourth agreed: “Never thought about him as a contender before, but it makes sense.”

Daniel Craig’s fifth and final outing as James Bond was five years ago, and since then a whole host of high-profile actors have been linked to the famous franchise.

But Amazon MGM Studios, who paid $20million for full creative control of the franchise, is said to be picking a more “alternative” actor, rather than a mainstream Hollywood star.

“Thanks for your lovely get well messages. N x.”

Her fans rushed to the comments section to share the love.

One said: “Hope you recover quickly and back on your feet very soon xx.”

Another wrote: “Wishing you a speedy recovery.”

“Get well soon Nicki,” a third chimed in.

A fourth added: Slowly, slowly… You’ll be there in no time xx.”

Nicki has gone through a number of health battles over the years, including a brain tumour diagnosis in 2019.

She’s also had problems with her ankle since she was 15 and was diagnosed with ankle spurs.

The NHS website describes it as: “Osteophytes (bone spurs) are bony lumps that grow on the bones in the spine or around joints. They form when a joint or bone has been damaged by arthritis, but do not always cause problems.”

Nicki previously recalled: “I started getting pains that felt like I’d twisted it – I couldn’t work out what I’d done.

“It was so sore I went to my doctor and was referred to a consultant who diagnosed ankle spurs. Bone spurs are tiny pointed outgrowths of bone which occur where the normal bone keeps growing.

“They were causing a restriction within my ankle, which became inflamed and excruciatingly painful.

“I had an operation to remove them, and remember my consultant warning me against pursuing any career involving standing up – otherwise I’d have serious problems by the time I was 30.

“I’d always wanted to be a theatrical make-up artist, which involves lots of standing, so my career dreams were shattered. But I followed his advice because looking after my wellbeing was paramount.”

20 years later Nicki had to have a second operation, and underwent surgery for a third time in 2015.

ITV Winter viewers make the same demand following a gruesome fourth episode

The thrilling ITV drama starring Richard Armitage returned for another episode, leaving fans asking the same question

The new ITV series has left viewers hooked.

ITV’s latest crime drama offering, Winter, aired another chilling episode on Wednesday (October 21), marking the fourth of the six-part series. Actor Richard Armitage portrays unconventional forensic pathologist Dr Ethan Winter, alongside Annabel Scholey as DI Lauren Bell and Jamie Kenna as DS Ellis Daldry, as they uncover and solve complex crimes.

Each episode presents its own gripping, standalone crime narrative, while a personal storyline for Winter threads throughout the entire series.

The latest instalment followed the discovery of human remains, which sparked a chilling investigation for Winter, Bell and Daldry. Winter suspects the body parts have been in the water for around 36 hours and notes the victim has been dismembered.

He also believes the male victim went to the gym frequently based on the development of his arms, but one part has signs of arthritis signalling that the remains belong to two different people.

Previous episodes have followed a brutal double murder that sparked a twisting investigation and the discovery of a faceless body at a Bristol demolition site. Meanwhile, Winter is constantly tasked with uncovering the truth behind Simone’s death after her dead body was found frozen during the first episode.

In the next episode, airing on ITV on Wednesday 28 October, viewers will see Winter race to save a stab victim after a cinema date turns to horror. The final episode airs on November 4 and follows a woodland car crash that hides a darker crime.

Following a string of gripping crime plots, Winter viewers have been left wondering if there will be a second series of the ITV drama after falling in “love” with the debut season.

Turning to X, one viewer wrote: “I loved Winter, better than The Party, can’t wait for the next series.” A second added: “It’s different, and I like that, all wrapped up in an hour too”, while a third asked: “We getting S2?”

“Nothing confirmed for season 2”, noting one fan as another added: “Great show, would love to see another series.”

Praising the ITV show, one person confessed: “Binged watched this in one day. Great series”, with another commenting: “Great series hope there will be series 2.”

Winter continues next Wednesday at 9pm on ITV and ITVX, with the whole series available now on ITVX
