nasty

JESSICA Alba has found herself on thin ice with fans following a massive fallout from her Halloween costume.

There has been such a backlash over her choice of outfit that the Fantastic Four actress, 45, has been forced to delete the picture of her wearing it after being called “distasteful”.

Much like the rest of the celebrity world, at the weekend Jessica Alba got into the spooky spirit and revealed her costume on social media to fans.

In a pic posted on Instagram Jessica dressed up as the famous 90s figure skater Nancy Kerrigan.

In the snap, her costume consisted of a white lace figure skating dress with a bloody bandage wrapped around her knee.

Jessica’s friend Kelly Sawyer dressed up as her rival Tonya Harding, and was wielding a baseball bat.

Back in 1994, Nancy was famously assaulted and struck in the knee with a baseball bat right before she performed at the 1994 Winter Olympics.

Tonya was blamed for having an involvement in the attack – something she denied – but she later pleaded guilty to conspiring to hinder the prosecution.

Nancy’s attacker was later revealed to be Shane Stant, who was hired by Tonya’s ex-husband Jeff Gillooly, along with Shawn Eckhardt.

Fans found Jessica’s reference to this attack as “distasteful”, and the actress has since pulled the picture from Instagram following the backlash.

One fan said: “We expect better, Jessica.”

Another called the actress “immature”, with another commenting: “Why are we being nasty this Halloween?”

However, this fan jumped to Jessica’s defence and said: “It’s been over 30 years. Seems like a pretty tame joke at this point.”

Former Neighbours star Delta Goodrem will return to Strictly Come Dancing this week after previously being forced to take time out when she sustained a rib injury

Delta Goodrem will return to Strictly Come Dancing this week, it has been confirmed.

The pop star, 41, had been forced to take time out of the BBC Saturday night favourite when she sustained a rib injury and was given a free pass but it was uncertain whether she would be well enough to make it back to the show at all.

But on Monday morning, the official social media account for Strictly announced that her comeback was imminent. A statement posted to Instagram read: “Following her bye last week due to injury, we’re delighted to confirm Delta has been given the all clear to dance again this weekend.

“She’ll return to the #Strictly ballroom on Saturday night, and Abi Clarke will pop into her rehearsal room for a chat on Training Room Diaries on Wednesday evening.”

Reacting to the news, one fan said: “Great news can’t wait to see your dance this week,” whilst another wrote: “Whoop whoop have missed her.”

A third wrote: “Unfinished business to attend to! Can’t wait to see you back out there,” and a fourth said: “Amazing news, welcome back delta.”

Delta, who is best known for starring in Australian soap Neighbours and releasing hits such as Innocent Eyes, recently told fans she was hoping to recover in time for the next round and – following her doctor’s order – had been getting rest at home.

Taking to social media, Delta, who is paired up with professional dancer Kai Widdrington, wrote: “Just wanted to come on here and say a big Thank you to everyone who has sent messages and wrote lovely comments the last couple of days, I see them all.

“Not the start to the week I’d hoped for but your support has meant the world. Also special big thank you to my amazing dance partner @kaiwidd who I will miss dancing with this weekend but I am so beyond grateful for his guidance and friendship through it all.. as well as the wonderful Strictly team!!”

She added: “Resting and recovering at home and will be cheering everyone on from my couch on Saturday night xx.” Delta had previously said she was “absolutely gutted” to be out the show for the week, and hoped she’d be back the following week.

Delta had planned dance to Dolly Parton’s Jolene with Kai during Icons Week but it was performed instead by Amy Dowden.

A spokesperson for the show had said: “Due to injury, Delta Goodrem has been advised by doctors to rest and, as a result, will not dance on this weekend’s Strictly Come Dancing.

“In line with the rules of the show, Delta and Kai will receive a bye through to next week when it is hoped they will be able to dance again. We wish Delta the very best as she continues her recovery.”

Delta added: “I’ve been loving every second of this experience, so having to sit this one out is heartbreaking – especially after the high of Saturday night.”

“I cannot tell you how much I love being a part of this magical show. I’m going to focus on resting and recovering, and hopefully I’ll be back on that dancefloor very soon. Thank you so much to everyone for all the love and support. It’s so appreciated. I’ll be cheering everyone on from the sidelines this week!”
