reveals

ORE Oduba’s kids are said to be devastated as he puts the family home on the market a year after his split from wife Portia Jett.

The Strictly star, 40, announced that he and Portia, 36, had ended their nine year marriage in October 2024.

The pair share a son, Roman, eight and four-year-old daughter Genie together.

The TV presenter’s new-build family home in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, is now up for sale but Portia admitted it has left their kids heartbroken.

She said on social media: “I told the children that we are selling the house.

“It’s hard, especially for Roman, to have these conversations. He’s really upset.

‘Terrified’ Ore Oduba breaks his silence on TV after porn addiction confession

COSTLY ADDICTION

Ore Oduba says he spent ‘thousands’ on porn after getting addicted aged 9

“I wanted to let the kids know, I tried to explain why.

“It’s gutting, and I’ve known for a while.”

The family have been living in the property since 2022.

Last November, Portia appeared to take a swipe at Ore after he revealed his porn addiction battle.

Portia shared a photo as she posed with her two children either side of her during an autumn day out.

The lyrics talk about a partner who is “young, wayward and lost in the cold” and includes the phrases “you pulled the wrong trigger”.

Appearing on the We Need to Talk podcast with MAFS expert Paul C Brunson, Ore told how his addiction struggles have spanned three decades.

He candidly said: “I was nine when I was introduced to pornography. That’s when my addiction started.”

Ore added: “While I wouldn’t say the addiction set in immediately, the intrigue started immediately and it didn’t take long for that intrigue to start running my mind over.

“It was the thing that was destroying my life from the inside out.

“But it was a thing I was running to from an early age as a response to the trauma.”

He told Paul he was speaking out as he wanted to “guide my own children.”

The London-based TV and radio anchor shares two children with ex wife Portia, son Roman born in 2018 and daughter Genie, born in 2021.

Ore, who admitted he had become a “master masker” during his childhood due to fears his father would send him back to Nigeria, told of the personal “shame” he had been struck by.

He then told how his brave confessions were for his family.

He said: “I’m sharing this to save my kids.

“Shame kept me silent for 30 years. It took me 30 years, two deaths, and a divorce to finally go: here’s what’s happening.”

He added: “The reason I felt like I needed to speak out on this, is because I wanted to guide my own children when it comes to it, when it comes to them seeing stuff that is going to be there.

“They’re going to come across it.”

Ore then confessed: “I never imagine I’d ever share this with anyone but in the last year I’ve spoken to friends and family and some amazing, supporting people in my working world who have all shown so much love and pride in me talking about something that is a problem for so many of us.”

The couple announced they were ending their nine-year marriage in October, with presenter Ore then confirming the news on Instagram. 

The couple’s break-up shocked longtime followers of the pair, who have watched on as they got engaged, married and welcomed two children.

They first met in 2010 when they were studying at Loughborough University. 

Portia was also a prominent support for Ore when he competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2016, eventually lifting the glitterball alongside pro partner Joanne Clifton. 

Swerving rumours of the long-derided “Strictly curse”, Ore made sure Portia bonded with Joanne throughout their time on the show together. 

Yet he revealed their sad spit in an emotional message to fans.

The statement read: “Hi guys. Portia and I are sad to announce that we separated earlier this year [2024].

“We’re so grateful for all the love you’ve shared with us both over the years.

“And we want to thank you in advance for respecting our privacy as we navigated this difficult transition.

“We will be making no further comment. Be kind, always.”

YOUTUBER Gabriella has revealed a heartbreaking health update, as she prepares to have a hysterectomy.

The social media star, who is just 31, revealed her news in a candid Instagram post.

The fashion vlogger, who first launched her channel in 2013, gave fans an update, revealing she had been put into early menopause.

Gabriella bravely opened up about how she was set to have a hysterectomy.

This type of surgery is very rare for a woman her age and involves removing her womb.

However, preparing for the operation has had some extreme side effects, which she has now shared with fans.

DAD BRAG

Taking to her latest Instagram Stories, Gabriella bravely penned: “Are you going through early menopause?!

“I was put on medication to induce the menopause before I have a hysterectomy as it helps some people’s endo symptoms – and it helps the team know what HRT to put me on after surgery based on how I reacted to the menopause med.

“I’ve actually been told to stop taking it 2 weeks before my op (which is now).

“So I’m having a really glamorous mix of menopause symptoms and withdrawal from the meds at the same time and it’s hell.”

The star also shared a selfie of her giving a thumbs down and she emotionally wrote over the snap: “Not doing so well over here.”

The influencer also revealed that her sleep had been badly affected by her symptoms.

“Going into the menopause is all well and good until it gives you insane insomnia to the point where your Sultrahumanhg ring says your ideal bedtime is 5am!” she wrote.

Gabriella is best known for her fashion and make-up vlogs where she often shows off her huge hauls of goodies.

Over the last 13 years she has built up a huge following and has amassed nearly 600K fans on Instagram, and almost 1M on YouTube.

Gabriella got her first big break in 2014 when she teamed up with YouTuber OG Zoella, for a beauty haul collaboration.

The two then went on to become best friends before a fall out around ten years ago.

Speaking at the time, Gabriella addressed the feud in a lengthy video.

“Sometimes people just grow apart, that’s what happens,” she told fans.

“To be honest I’m quite upset about mine and Zoe’s friendship because we were so close at one point.

“So close. And I classed her as my absolute best friend. Part of the reason we’re not close now is probably my fault.”

POPULAR food influencer Eating With Tod has revealed he has asked his stunning girlfriend to marry him.

The social media star, who boasts over 2million followers, revealed he had popped the question to his rarely-seen partner Mea.

The influencer, whose real name Toby Inskip, took to Instagram to share their happy news.

The restaurant reviewer shared a slew of snaps from his romantic proposal, in Brazil, which included one of him down on one knee on a yacht.

Another photo saw Mea flashing her HUGE diamond ring for the camera, while another sweet snap saw the newly engaged couple posing for a romantic selfie.

Toby captioned the engagement announcement post with: “Cheers to the next chapter @mea_c.k – can’t wait for the next adventure with you ❤️

Another commented: “This is such wonderful news!”

A third said: “So awesome! Congratulations!!”

A fourth added: “Massive congratulations to you both!”

Mea also shared the sweet snaps and wrote: “03. 03. 26. Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, sailing between Christ the Redeemer and Sugarloaf Mountain Toby proposed.”

Toby’s new fiancee doesn’t appear a lot on Toby’s Instagram, and it is not clear on how long they have been in a relationship for.

Meanwhile, the social media star’s Eating With Tod channel is so popular that he is one of the biggest food influencers in the UK.

Toby’s content sees him review restaurants from around Britain by trying out their different dishes and giving his opinion.

However, despite his popularity, he came under fire last December for his highly-anticipated Christmas food market, held on London’s Tottenham Court Road.

Fans posting about the event criticised it for overcrowding and overpricing.

It was noted that one stall was commanding £6 for a cinnamon roll, while another vendor was charging an eyewatering £13 for a burger.

Meanwhile, since rising to fame Toby has boosted his bank balance by working with huge brands like McDonald’s, Tabasco hot sauce and Gordon Ramsay Street Pizza.

Fans can also buy Eating With Tod merch which sees T-shirts being flogged for £25.

SHARON Osbourne has revealed that Ozzy’s iconic Ozzfest gigs will continue following his tragic passing.

The festival featured an array of artists and was created by Ozzy and Sharon as a music festival tour specialising in rock and metal music.

It was an annual event which ran between 1996 and 2018 and was well known for featuring performances from Ozzy and his band, Black Sabbath.

Now, less than a year on from his sad passing, Sharon has revealed there are plans to revive the music festival tour in his legacy – beginning with a new run of shows in 2027.

Having held discussions with entertainment giant and touring company Live Nation, Sharon confirmed on her son Jack Osbourne‘s podcast that deals had been struck for brand new shows.

She said: “2027, it’s coming back – Aston Villa.

“We wanna do two days in Aston Villa and then come to America.

“We wanna hear from everyone about where we should go in America.”

She went on to add: “We gotta find a lot of young new talent because that is what your dad would want.”

Jack agreed, adding: “That is what Ozzfest was all about.

“That second stage is where so many guys came out of.”

Sharon appeared to be referring to Villa Park – the stadium of Ozzy’s beloved team Aston Villa in his native Birmingham.

He held his farewell concert there last summer – just weeks before he tragically passed away.

The news will be a welcome surprise for Ozzfest attendees and fans of metal and rock music.

Sharon and Ozzy recently honoured Ozzy at the Brit Awards where he won the Outstanding Contribution to Music award.

A MEDITERRANEAN destination nicknamed ‘the land of jasmine’ will soon have an even bigger airport with space for millions more passengers.

Plans have been revealed to expand and modernise Tunis-Carthage International Airport in Tunisia, Africa as it aims to quadruple its passenger numbers in just five years.

The airport – which is the 10th busiest in Africa – will undergo a major £743million makeover over the next five years.

The country’s Transport Ministry shared that the plans will include building a new passenger terminal as well as the existing terminal being renovated.

Between the two terminals, the Transport Ministry aims to increase passenger numbers from five million people per year to 18.5million passengers by 2031.

There will also be a new technical building and the air traffic control tower will be upgraded.

Some reports suggest that the broader project will involve adding VIP lounges as well.

In addition, the Transport Ministry hopes that it will improve connectivity placing Tunisia as a gateway to the Mediterranean with links to Africa, Europe and emerging destinations.

The upgrade could also pave the way for new airline partnerships and flight routes.

News of the makeover follows original plans for building a new airport being put on hold.

Known as ‘the land of jasmine’ for its use of jasmine flowers in festivals, cultural traditions and perfumes, Tunisia takes about three hours to fly to from the UK.

And flights in April are as cheap as £30 one-way.

The capital and main city to visit is Tunis.

The Sun’s Deputy Digital TV Editor Jill Robinson recently visited the city and said: “Winding my way through narrow streets, the smell of jasmine and mint tea fills the air as I pass craftsmen, locals doing their shopping and an abundance of cats.

“It would have been easy to think I was in the souks of Marrakech, but I’m in Tunis, the capital of Tunisia.

“While its Medina is not as chaotic as its Moroccan counterpart, the historic streets bustle with locals selling their wares as tourists like me squeeze through.

“From traditional clothing to jewellery, perfume to sweet treats, there’s any amount of treasures to be found just as long as you’re prepared to haggle.

“The Medina was built around the big mosque — nicknamed the Olive Tree Mosque due to the trees there in the 8th century — but it is also home to 100 smaller mosques.

“While Tunisia is an Islamic country, its history and influences are vast — including Arab, Andalucian, Turkish and Berber — and are visible to see as you take in the colourful arched doorways, former palaces and humble homes.

“On a day trip from my hotel, I learned about the rich culture of Tunis and the ancient ruins of Carthage, whose most famous son Hannibal (of elephants fame) became one of history’s most celebrated generals and took on the might of the Roman Empire in the Second Punic War.”

If you fancy a beach day, head to La Marsa where you will find a number of calm beaches, with cosy cafes and crystal clear waters.

Nearby, you can also head to the blue-and-white village of Sidi Bou Said, which sits on a clifftop and is often compared to Santorini in Greece.

There’s Djerba Island as well, which is loved for its sandy beaches and vibrant nightlife.

The temperature can reach up to 20C in March and 22C in April, making it the ideal destination to grab a bit of warmth while the UK remains around 10C.

Nouvelair Tunisie offers direct flights from London Gatwick to Tunis-Carthage Airport and Tunisair offers direct flights from both London Heathrow and Gatwick Airports.

IF you’re planning your next holiday but you’re on a strict budget, the experts have stepped in to help you save hundreds.

TUI‘s Commercial Director, Chris Logan – who has worked there for 17 years – as shared some of his top tricks to shave hundreds of pounds off your holidays.

One of those is forgetting that Saturday departure.

He explained: “Mid‑week departures offer a sweet spot of value and convenience for travellers.”

“Flying midweek, especially Monday to Wednesday, could save you hundreds on the exact same holiday. 

” For example, this week there’s a deal for a 7-night all-inclusive stay at the 4T TUI Suneo Kenzi Europa in Agadir, Morocco for just £523pp.

How to save over £700 in time for Easter to help pay for the holidays

“Travelling on May 4 (Monday) instead of May 3 (Sunday) currently saves you nearly £300 per person.”

Not only that, but travelling just a month out of the busy season can save you loads.

He continued: “May and September offer gorgeous weather without the peak prices. 

“You’ll get balmy temperatures upwards of 20 degrees in destinations like the Canaries and Greece but pay a fraction of the cost.” 

When it comes to what board you want to book, he also advises not always going for the all-inclusive.

He explained: “If you’re not a big drinker, you don’t need to splash out on all-inclusive. 

“Half board could work out as much better value for money. 

“And if you love exploring local restaurants and heading into town for dinner, self-catering or bed and breakfast are your best bets.”

He added: “The best hack is to always scroll down on our holiday pages – there’s a calendar that breaks down prices by departure date, so you can instantly see which days are cheapest.” 

Otherwise TUI has a secret “under £500” page for all holidays that are less than that, if you don’t mind where you travel to,

Chris finished by saying: “The ‘Holidays under £500‘ page brings together all the best deals in one place – you can filter by your local airport, star rating and board type. 

“It’s how customers can find some incredible deals for five-star hotels for under £500.”

One of the cheapest deals we found was seven nights in Greece in May for just £265 each.

Otherwise there are a number of five star holiday packages in Spain, Bulgaria and Tunisia that just come under £500 each.

Chris says his inside advice could save holidaymakers huge amounts on their next trip – but his hacks come with a warning: “Bargain hunters really need to act fast – my biggest tip is to lock in your next trip asap to secure the best rates, as the deals are constantly updating and changing.” 

A DUTCH theme park with six themed lands has announced a £78million makeover – and most Brits won’t have hear of it.

Toverland amusement park in the Netherlands is planning a massive transformation that will allow guests to stay onsite for the first time.

Located in the town of Sevenum – about 40 minutes from the city of Eindhoven – over the coming years the park will carry out several new projects.

The first focus will be new permanent accommodation for guests – something the park doesn’t currently have – in Ithaka, which is a land based on ancient Greece.

There are also plans to build a new attraction on the site of the park’s Maximus’ Blitz Bahn ride, although little else is know about it at the moment.

Port Laguna, which is the Mediterranean-themed entrance to the park and the central hub, is also set to get its first ride which will be a large-scale dark ride.

The theme park has already started building the Clubhuis which will be a new office space for employees.

According to Blooloop, a spokesperson for the park said: “Toverland is constantly evolving, as are the exact details of the various projects.

“We will therefore announce more information at a later date.”

The theme park is made up of six themed areas in total including Avalon, Port Laguna, Magische Vallei, Ithaka, Wunderwald and Land van Toos.

Across these areas there are around 40 attractions and shows.

Avalon has a medieval theme throughout, with a family drop-tower ride, water playground and winged rollercoaster.

Magische Vallei is all about magic and in this land you will find a water ride, launch rollercoaster and a spinning rollercoaster.

In the land of Ithaka, which is based on ancient Greece, there is a wooden rollercoaster and swing boat ride.

As the central hub, Port Laguna appears like a harbour town with a main promenade past souvenir shops and restaurants.

This is also the land where most of the interactive experiences and shows take place.

The land of Wunderwald is then both indoors and outdoors and based on an adventure through Austria‘s mountains.

Rides include a log flume ride, a fun house and an electric bobsled run.

Last but not least, Land van Toos is an indoor playground that inspires imaginative play with rollercoasters for smaller children, interactive experiences and a climbing mountain.

Across the park a number of shows take place each day.

Starting from April 18, there will be the ‘Epic battle for the Pearl’, which features a large pirate ship with a pool where the pirates jump and dive into, from a height of 25 metres.

There’s also Katara – a magical water fountain show – with music and lights.

The theme park is currently only open at the weekends and on Wednesdays but from March 28 it will be open everyday 10am to 6pm.

Off-peak tickets usually cost €43 (£37.35) per adult and child over 140cm tall and peak tickets then cost €44.50 (£38.65).

Though, these prices are reduced to €37.50 (£32.57), if you book online more than seven days in advance.

For children between 90cm and 140cm tall, tickets cost €36 (£31.27) but if you book online more than seven days in advance this price drops to €29 (£25.19).

Children under 90cm tall then go free, as do anyone who is celebrating their birthday on the day of visiting.

The easiest way to get to Toverland is by flying to Eindhoven.

The cheapest flights to Eindhoven from the UK include from London Stansted for £14 one-way or Manchester for £15 one-way.

Then it takes about 40 minutes to drive from Eindhoven Airport to Toverland theme park.

In other theme park news, you can get a year’s free entry to 20 of UK’s top theme parks and attractions for less than cost of one chocolate bar a week.

Plus, a UK theme park is getting the world’s first Hey Duggee themed hotel rooms this year.

ACTRESS Daisy Edgar-Jones has spoken about a crippling health diagnosis – and going through ‘years of unexplained pain’.

The Normal People star, 27, opened up for the first time about suffering from a chronic disease.

The Golden Globe-nominated star told Vogue in a YouTube video: “I have endometriosis, so my hormones are kind of all over the place.

“I had extremely bad acne for most of my teenage years.

“When I had terrible acne, it was all I could see when I looked in the mirror.”

The Twisters star added: “For so long, I had such painful periods and really volatile skin.

KEEPING UP WITH THE JONESES

SHEER CLASS

Sydney Sweeney and Daisy Edgar-Jones both sizzle in plunging sheer gowns

“I was diagnosed when I was, I think I was 24. I was definitely relieved to find out why I was going through it.”

The chronic disease causes inflammation, scarring and – in many cases – excruciating pain.

According to the NHS, it affects around one in ten women of reproductive age in the UK – an estimated 1.5 million people – and there is no cure.

Daisy, who is in a relationship with photographer Ben Seed, said she has found ways to manage the condition’s hormonal effects through diet and skincare.

She explained: “I’ve found over the years skincare that really works for me.

“But I also find drinking lots of water and when I eat well – especially when I try and not eat as much dairy – that really helps.”

She also offered a heartfelt message to others struggling with breakouts.

“When I had terrible acne, it was all I could see when I looked in the mirror.

“But actually when I look back at photos and videos, it’s funny that so much of the beauty of you is inside and the confidence that you wear can really help.

“So I would say to anyone with acne – I know it’s all you can see, but it’s not what everyone else can see.”

The actress was born in Islington, North London, and grew up in the world of entertainment.

Her dad Phil is head of entertainment at Sky TV while her mum Wendy is a former film editor.

The actress was catapulted to fame thanks to her debut lead role in BBC lockdown smash-hit Normal People, alongside Paul Mescal.

The Bafta and Golden Globe-nominated actress trained with the National Youth Theatre from the age of 14 before landing her first professional job at 17, appearing in a Christmas special of BBC sitcom Outnumbered.

Daisy then joined the cast of Cold Feet as Olivia, the on-screen daughter of actress Hermione Norris – shortly before starring in the raunchy drama Normal People, an adaptation of the best-selling Sally Rooney novel.

Jenna Carr aka ‘Travel Mum’ has made travelling with her family her full-time job.

On her social pages, she reveals how to find last-minute cheap holiday deals, top travel tips – and now, her most underrated holiday destinations.

For fun family breaks that you might not have considered – Jenna says we should think about our closest neighbour.

Talking to Sun Travel, Jenna said: “France is overlooked a lot and it’s so close to us – you can drive over, which is much easier with a family.

“Of course you’ve got the famous spots like Paris and Disneyland, but there are lots of other places that are just as lovely.

“We went camping in the south of France last summer and flew into Nice, which didn’t take long from the UK – and went to a couple of places along the coast.”

“It also has so many great holiday parks and campsites too.”

In fact, France has over ten thousand registered campsites across the country – some even have waterparks and beach clubs.

Equally great for a cross-Channel break is the Netherlands, thanks to its award-winning theme park that Jenna reckons is on a par with Disneyland Paris.

She said: “We’ve driven over there from the UK a lot, and there’s loads to do for families.

“The theme park, Efteling, is really cool – I’d call it Disneyland Paris after dark. It’s based on fairytales and is a little creepy.

“But I prefer it to Disneyland. I think it’s a bit more authentic, and it feels more magical.”

Efteling is a popular fairytale-themed attraction in Kaatsheuvel.

Some of the most thrilling rides in the park include Baron 1898 which has a 120ft free-fall drop into a mineshaft at 55mph.

There’s a double-track rollercoaster called Joris en de Draak where riders can speed past a 39ft fire-breathing dragon.

The theme park is also home to the world’s largest swinging ship, a monorail, and an 100-year-old steam carousel.

Day tickets for Efteling for anyone over the age of four range from €40 to €56 depending on the day of visit.

You could tie the theme park into a city break with the kids, as it’s under an hour on the train from Amsterdam – so plenty of culture for the adults and roller coasters for the kids in one trip.

March is one of the most reliable months for a family city break, and Amsterdam is one of the easiest cities to do with children.

The weather sits around 10 to 12C, the city starts to feel brighter, and peak tourism is still a few weeks away.

It is flat, organised and designed for everyday life, which makes navigating it with kids feel intuitive rather than stressful.

March is also when parks, canal walks and museums like NEMO Science Museum really come into their own, giving you options that work whether the day is high energy or low key.

If you’re looking for somewhere with guaranteed sun, head outside of Europe for Agadir in Morocco.

The coastal resort city has plenty of sunshine, sandy beaches with vibrant souks and hotels.

Jenna said: “I know it’s not a place where families would traditionally go – but it’s amazing.

“It’s very cheap, they’ve got lovely hotels and there’s lots of fun activities to do, and it’s culturally interesting.

“It’s not like the Costa del Sol where everything’s made for the Brits. It’s Morocco, so you can go to markets and explore the desert.”

During her holiday, Jenna and her family checked into the Allegro Agadir.

She went on to tell Sun Travel that not only is Agadir family-friendly, it’s also cheap as she paid just £600 for her family of three at the time.

It has plenty of running about space for kids on the grassy areas and children have their own swimming pool, games and club.

There’s also a tennis court, evening entertainment and all rooms either have views across the pool, or over the garden.

The hotel is a short walk from the beach where there are complimentary sunbeds for hotel guests.

Jen’s new book ‘Yes You Can Travel With Kids’ is available now on Amazon.

For more on family holidays, here are the cheapest destinations under three hours from UK that are over 20C this Easter.

And here are eight holiday destinations the Sun Travel team have their eye on for March – with flights from £13.

EVIL Dead actor Bruce Campbell has revealed he has cancer in an emotional Instagram statement.

The 67-year-old screen star told fans in the message “sorry if it’s a shock – it was to me too”.

Yet the Michigan-born horror actor was then quick to reassure them “fear not, I am a tough old son of a b***h”.

Bruce has revealed he has a “treatable but not curable” form of the disease and will need to take time away from work to recover.

The Hysteria! star wrote in a text post uploaded to his Instagram grid: “Hi folks these days when someone is having a health issue its referred to as an ‘opportunity’ so let’s go with that – I’m having one of those.

“It’s also called a type of cancer that’s ‘treatable not curable’.

“I apologize if that’s a shock, it was to me too.”

Bruce who was in cult flicks Crimewave and Maniac Cop added: “The good news is, I’m not going to go into any more detail.

“I’m posting this, because professionally, a few things will have to change – appearances and cons and work in general need to take [a] back seat to treatment.

“There are several cons this year summer [sic] that I have to cancel. Big regrets on my part.

“Treatment needs and professional obligations don’t always go hand-in-hand.

“That’s about it. I’m not trying to enlist sympathy – or advice – I just want to get ahead of this information in case false information gets out (which it will).

“Fear not, I am a tough old son-of-a-b***h and I have great support, so I expect to be around a while.

“As always, you’re the greatest fans in the world and I hope to see you soon!”

Fans were also quick to offer words of support for the science fiction TV star.

One insisted: “Cancer doesn’t stand a chance. Hail to the king, baby. We love you Bruce.”

A second put: “Sending you all the best, Bruce!”

A third posted: “You are loved and must feel the terrific support flooding your direction! You definitely have this!”

One then added: “Hail to the King, baby.”

Bruce is best-known for his role in the Evil Dead franchise, playing Ash Williams.

He is the only character to appear in each instalment of the series and battles a series of possessed creatures called Deadites, who have been taken over by the Kandarian Demon.

His stints in the Evil Dead movies saw him voted as the greatest horror movie character ever back in 2013.

His personal profile has rocketed thanks to his movie status, with many hailing Bruce a cultural icon.

In 2007, he featured in a parody of his movie career in My Name Is Bruce.

He previously told dvdtalk.com of filming the gory Evil Dead instalment and said: “In retrospect, it’s funny as hell.

“The last three days of shooting Evil Dead we never fell asleep. At the time we were just zombies.

“Various people would fall asleep in the middle of the woods and we’d find each other randomly.”

He added: “We didn’t even think we’d finish the movie, so there was none of this, ‘Wow, I hope we make a hit!’

“We were just hoping we’d get the hell out of Tennessee in one piece. We were wrecking rental cars, rental trucks, cameras, wrecking actresses and ourselves. Everything.

“We were getting poked, bitten, scrapped, and my brother fell off a cliff.

“It was a comedy of terror. That was the most terrifying part: making the movie.”
