While sitting in his car, he began: “Hello people, just a little rant from me. So this is gonna have to go over two videos.
“I posted a picture of me and my kids, obviously posted the picture of me and my girls when we went to London, had a beautiful time and the same happened when I posted with Ted as well when I took him to Bruno Mars.

“I find myself having to delete negative comments from people on pictures of me and my kids.
“I don’t understand why anyone should have to do that, and also I do appreciate the nice comments of course.
“There are people who say thing like, ‘well done for stepping up’ or being a good dad or whatever. I don’t ever want praise for that because I think that’s what every man should do for their kids.”
The Celebrity Big Brother star continued: “I also don’t understand why anyone should have to delete any comments on any picture.
“All of us are different, all of us are cracking on with our own lives, doing our own thing, we’re all from different thoughts and different beliefs.
“There should never be any negative comments. When you look at the people who leave these negative comments, you look on it, these people are not f***ing normal.
“They look like their auditioning for The Hills Have Eyes movie, they look like their probably married to their own brothers or sisters, they’re not normal people.
“Someone has to say it, I don’t like to be judgemental but you’re not normal.
“And if you do view yourself as normal and you are one that trolls people and leaves negative comments, then I promise you you’re not normal.
“You need to take a long hard look at yourself, you’re f***ing weird, just be nice or don’t say nothing.”

Dan concluded his rant by telling his viewers he felt better “after letting it off my chest” and thanked his true supporters.
He’s dad to daughters Ella, 11, and Mia, eight, with now ex-wife Jacqueline.
Dan is also dad to son Teddy, 12, from a previous relationship.
A source close to Dan told The Sun at the time: “Everyone knows they’ve had their troubles, but after spending some time apart this year, they’ve decided to make the split permanent.
“Their two daughters are their main priority.”
Our insider revealed: “After all Jac’s been through, she’s finally had enough. They’ve been living separate lives all this year and she’s over it.
“There’s only so many times she can put herself through living in limbo and taking him back.

“She has mentally checked out and Dan has panicked.
“He’s worried the grass isn’t greener and has had the shock of his life that he’s pushed Jac too far this time.”
It comes after Essex lad Dan kept in touch with Brazilian Etila, 33, after a holiday romance in May.
And insiders claim the news has ruffled estranged wife Jacqueline’s feathers as the 33 year-old EastEnders star watches him enjoy a new lease of life with a stunning model.
A source close to Jac and Dan told The Sun: “Jacqueline is trying to focus on work and the girls, but it’s hard not to notice that Dan seems to have moved on so quickly.”
The US president’s threat comes after another day of Iranian attacks on Bahrain, Kuwait and Jordan.
Published On 23 Jul 202623 Jul 2026
United States President Donald Trump says he may launch the largest strikes on Iran yet after Tehran carried out another wave of retaliatory attacks on US allies in the Gulf, including hitting a telecommunications tower in Kuwait.
In remarks to US news website Axios on Thursday, Trump said he was “considering a massive attack” that would be “bigger than ever before”.

“I am close to making a decision. We are all set for it,” Trump said.
The threat raises the stakes yet again in a weeks-long military confrontation in which the US has attacked Iran for 12 straight nights, including hitting bridges and tunnels, according to Iranian media reports.
Iran’s retaliatory attacks have rippled throughout much of the Gulf, sparking fears of a worsening energy crisis.
The spiralling conflict has all but destroyed an interim peace deal signed by the US and Iran last month.
‘Eye for an eye’
Iranian Minister of Foreign Affairs Abbas Araghchi warned on Wednesday that Tehran would retaliate “an eye for an eye” against any future attacks, including those on Iran’s infrastructure.
After another night of US attacks on Wednesday, Iran responded with missile and drone attacks on Jordan, Bahrain and Kuwait on Thursday.
The IRGC also acknowledged attacking a telecommunications tower in Kuwait, saying it was in retaliation for US attacks on telecommunications towers in Iran.
In a statement addressing the Kuwaiti people directly, the IRGC insisted that the US, not Iran, had breached the Gulf state’s “territorial integrity and sovereignty”.
Later on Thursday, Kuwait said that its Abdali border crossing with Iraq had also come under attack by “hostile drones”.
“The armed forces’ retaliatory attacks will continue as long as the US attacks on the country’s infrastructure and coastal areas continue,” said the Iranian army’s spokesperson, Mohammad Akraminia.
Houthis attack Saudi tankers
Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthi rebels further expanded the confrontation on Thursday by firing at two Saudi tankers in the Red Sea, leading to broad international condemnation and a spike in global oil prices.
“The situation is getting out of control. It is teetering on the edge of the unimaginable,” United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres told a meeting of the Security Council. “One crisis feeds another. One escalation triggers the next.”
The Houthis have declared a blockade of Saudi Arabian ports, destabilising a second key global shipping route: the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively shut since the US and Israel launched the war on Iran in late February.
Reporting from Sanaa, Yemen, Al Jazeera’s Yousef Mawry cited Houthi sources as saying that the facilities of Saudi Arabia’s national oil company Aramco “could become a future target” of the Houthis if Riyadh does not lift its own blockade on Houthi-controlled ports.
The international oil benchmark Brent crude surged past $100 a barrel on Thursday for the first time in May, in what analysts said could have an even greater impact on the global economy.
“Much of the world’s spare production capacity has already been used, while strategic and commercial oil inventories are lower than when the war began, leaving the market with fewer buffers against a prolonged supply disruption,” said Janiv Shah, vice president of the Rystad Energy consultancy.
Kirstie Allsopp has lashed out at BAFTA following the death of ‘national treasure’ Dame Penelope Keith over the weekend, following a battle with cancer

“We are deeply saddened to announce that Dame Penelope Keith died peacefully whilst living with cancer at her home in Surrey where she had lived for more than 50 years,” her family said in a statement, adding they were “grateful” for the care and support she received throughout her treatments.
However, after BAFTA issued a tribute to the late actress, Kirstie Allsopp was unhappy that it had chosen to use the word “passing” in its statement. The organisation said on X, formerly known as Twitter: “We’re saddened to learn of the passing of Dame Penelope Keith, aged 86. A familiar face on stage and screen Keith won a BAFTA for her iconic role in the Good Life in 1997 and another for her work in The Norman Conquests and Saving It For Albie in 1978, with a further three BAFTA nominations during her career.”
However, Kirstie was not happy with this tribute. Taking to X in view of her 425,000 followers, she fumed: “It’s ‘death’, Dame Penelope died, she was an absolute national treasure, she lived & worked and was brilliant and then she died. Dame Penelope did not ‘pass’, she was not a car or a bottle of ketchup.”
She later fumed: “When did we move from saying ‘sad to hear of the death of…’ to ‘sad to hear of the passing of’? Is there any way to stop this? We are already bad enough at discussing death in the U.K.”
However, Kirstie’s response was met with mixed responses. One person said: “I think it is a choice of words that different people are comfortable with. You should use what you feel comfortable using and let others use what they prefer. Let’s not judge, it is a personal viewpoint.”
A second added: “Why would you argue with a family about how they express that.” Hitting back at criticism, Kirstie fumed: “The family issued a statement saying that Dame Penelope had ‘died while living with cancer; a particularly elegant way of addressing two issues I felt. I obviously double checked that before telling BAFTA what I felt about their statement.”
She added: “BAFTA is an organisation not a person, and as Dame Penelope’s family statement said she had died, they should have at least reflected their language.” But Jeremy Clarkson was in support of Kirstie, stating: “I loathe ‘passing’. Loathe it’
Paying tribute, Dame Penelope’s family said in full: “We are deeply saddened to announce that Dame Penelope Keith died peacefully whilst living with cancer at her home in Surrey where she had lived for more than 50 years.
“The family is grateful for the care and support she received throughout her treatments, and ask that their privacy be respected at this time.” The Good Life followed the couple Tom and Barbara Good, played by Briers and Kendal, who try to escape the rat race in their suburban house in Surbiton. They try to become self-sufficient, turning their gardens into an allotment and introducing farmyard animals, much to the horror of their neighbours – Margo and her hen-pecked husband Jerry, played by Eddington.
In one of her last TV appearances in October 2025, Penelope fronted The Good Life: Inside Out on U&Gold, looking back on the sitcom’s huge success. Dame Penelope won a BAFTA in 1977 for her role in The Good Life.

Kirstie Allsopp has been left furious over BAFTA’s tribute to Dame Penelope Keith. The Good Life star died “peacefully” at her home aged 86 on June 29, following a battle with cancer.
