furious

The former Islander was left ‘panicking’ just seconds into the first task of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins season eight

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins star Gabby Allen was left furious after failing the show’s first challenge within seconds.

The thrilling Channel 4 programme kicked off its eighth series on Sunday (January 4), featuring 14 celebs braving a modified version of the gruelling SAS (Special Air Service) training.

In a series first, the contestants are split into two international teams: seven Brits and seven Aussies.

Team UK boasts Love Island favourites Gabby and Dani Dyer, social media influencers Jack Joseph and Cole Anderson James, rugby hero Ben Cohen, Gladiator Toby Olubi, and cricket star Graeme Swann.

The first mission of this year’s series was an emergency evacuation drill, where one participant from each team was strapped into a plane and submerged underwater, reports OK!.

Once under, they had to hold their breath for 30 seconds before being given the signal to escape. Gabby was up first, alongside Olympic swimming champ Mack Horton.

The risk of drowning was acknowledged prior to the stars being plunged into the water, but things quickly took a horrifying turn as Gabby began to panic just seconds into the task.

She was swiftly rescued by the crew who recognised her “panicking”. The reality star “failed” the test as she couldn’t hold her breath for the necessary duration.

The 33-year-old appeared visibly annoyed following the challenge. Looking back on it, she remarked: “I weren’t scared about the height, I weren’t scared about the water. And then I f****** didn’t take a big enough breath. What the f***? !”

Ex-Islander Dani similarly fell short in completing the emergency evacuation challenge. “Instantly, I failed,” she vented afterwards.

Ahead of the episode going to air, the 29-year-old had shared her thoughts with followers regarding her time on the gruelling military programme.

In an Instagram Stories video, Dani revealed: “SAS is obviously on tonight at nine o’clock. This is one show I’ve been absolutely really excited for you all to see, but also petrified because it was one of the hardest experiences of my entire life.”

She went on: “I’d love to do it again, this is one of those things I’d love to do again and be a lot more headstrong, and a lot more…not a wimp. But do you know what? It was great and, yeah, I hope you all enjoy it.”

Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins continues tomorrow night at 9pm on Channel 4

Netflix treated Bridgerton fans to the season four trailer on Christmas Day but viewers have noticed a major flaw

The trailer for Bridgerton Season 4 has finally dropped but fans are furious about two characters ‘missing’ from the teaser.

The beloved period drama is set to return to screens on January 29th with four episodes, with another four instalments set to release on February 26th.

Netflix unveiled a two-minute teaser for the upcoming season on Christmas Day, and it focuses on Benedict Bridgerton (Luke Thompson) and Sophie Baek’s (Yerin Ha) romance.

Based on Julia Quinn’s third book in the series, An Offer from a Gentleman, the trailer reveals the couple’s Cinderella-style meeting at the Bridgertons’ masquerade ball.

Sophie is shown working as a maid and envying members of high society who get to attend endless parties. So she disguises herself as a ‘lady’ and attends the ball.

However, she must return home at midnight.

Benedict bumps into her and asks for a dance and later tells her: “You are perhaps the most intriguing person I’ve ever met.”

But the couple are separated when Sophie runs home, leaving only her glove behind. Benedict then goes on a mission to find the owner of the glove, hoping he can spark a real connection with her.

Throughout the trailer, viewers see various members of the Bridgerton family including Colin (Luke Newton) and Francesca (Hannah Dodd). However, fans are furious that Anthony (Jonathan Bailey) and his wife Kate (Simone Ashley) are excluded from the teaser.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, one penned: “Clearly we understand Kathony [Kate and Anthony] had their season… but it truly doesn’t make sense that the VISCOUNT and VISCOUNTESS Bridgerton, the literal HEADS of the household are nowhere to be seen Imao.”

Someone else chimed in with: “Are you aware large parts of this season are at the home of the Viscount and Viscountess? Where are they?”

While a third agreed: “The absurdity of this production writing Kate and Anthony out of Part 1 yet being too cheap to relocate the Bridgertons to a new residence so you have everyone & their mothers hosting balls and living it up at K & A’s house while the viscount & viscountess are nowhere to be seen.”

Yet another unimpressed viewer wrote: “Another Polin [Penelope and Colin] scene in carriage but ZERO seconds of Kanthony,” and a final viewer quipped: “Kate and Anthony going on their eighth honeymoon so that others can live in their house (masterminds behind this show).”

Bailey and Ashley will be in the new season, but it’s unclear how much screen time they will each have. If season three is anything to go by, they may only appear in a few episodes.

Bridgerton season four part one premieres on Thursday, January 29 on Netflix

BROOKLYN Beckham blocked his family on social media after mum Victoria “liked” a post of his about roasting a chicken, The Sun can reveal.

The budding chef, 26, saw red after Posh showed her approval of a self-shot video in which he discusses beer-brining a bird to give it extra flavour.

Former Spice Girl Posh’s response was soon followed with comments from fans urging estranged Brooklyn to build bridges with his family.

But it is believed that he got annoyed at his worried mum’s public display of affection as she bids to heal the family rift.

David and Victoria are understandably heartbroken by what’s gone on here

Within hours of her olive branch, Brooklyn had blocked Victoria, 51, dad David, 50, brothers Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and his 14-year-old sister Harper.

It means they cannot see any Instagram posts he uploads from his LA home where he lives with actress wife Nicola Peltz, 30.

BOLD MOVE

Fresh twist in Beckham family feud as David and Victoria UNFOLLOW son Brooklyn

POSH’S PAIN

Inside Victoria’s plans for Xmas without Brooklyn as she gives up on call hope

It was initially thought that the Beckham family had “unfollowed” Brooklyn’s account, as The Sun on Sunday reported yesterday.

Cruz soon put things straight.

Pulling no punches, he shared a post which read: “Not true.

“My mum and dad would never unfollow their son.

“Let’s get the facts right.

“They woke up blocked  . . .  as did I.”

It marked the first time any of the image-conscious Beckhams had directly addressed the family feud.

Despite wall-to-wall coverage of the row, it was business as usual until Cruz’s blunt contribution.

Unsurprisingly, Cruz and Romeo are furious

A source said: “David and Victoria are understandably heartbroken by what’s gone on here.

‘PUBLIC ATTACK’

“This came out of the blue for them, and in the lead-up to Christmas when families are supposed to come together, it’s devastating.”

The source added: “All they want is for things to be fixed but with every week they just seem to be getting worse.

“Unsurprisingly, Cruz and Romeo are furious that Brooklyn would make such a public attack.

“As for Brooklyn, he wants things fixed in private and not played out on social media, although his actions have resulted in quite the opposite.”

Brooklyn, who married Nicola in a lavish wedding in April 2022, has had nothing to do with his family since the start of the year.

It is thought the feud may have somehow been triggered during the lead-up to Brooklyn and heiress Nicola’s big day.

He swerved his dad’s 50th birthday celebrations in May and the proud ex-England football captain’s knighthood investiture at Windsor Castle last month.

In between, none of the Beckhams were present when the couple renewed their wedding vows in August.

The Beckhams have not been pictured together as a family since Boxing Day last year.
