HORROR fans were left screaming and puking last night at the UK premiere of Terrifier 3.

Some ticket holders were so disgusted they bolted from their seats within the first ten minutes.

The brutal sequel, directed by Damien Leone, left some cinema goers traumatised and at least one vomited during the screening.

For people who can stomach the nightmarish third installment they’re in for a satisfying ride.

Rotten Tomatoes have the flick at 93% on their ‘tomatometer’.

“There were 11 total walkouts, nine during the opening scene, and that there was one fan confirmed to have puked,” according to LADbible.

Leone added in a statement to Bloody Disgusting: “Although I was in and out of the screening, I did manage to witness some crazy stuff.

“One woman got up and left in the middle of the shower massacre.

“Another woman left the screening and said she started having a panic attack during a scene involving kids where Art impersonates a mall Santa.”

After surviving Art the Clown’s Halloween massacre, Sienna and her brother are struggling to rebuild their shattered lives.

Leone previously promised Terrifier 3 would push the horror even further.

He said one scene was so disgusting when they filmed it that a cast member almost walked off set.

Leone wrote on X, formerly Twitter: “Can honestly say we just filmed one of the most insanely horrific scenes of the Terrifier franchise and you’ll never believe who couldn’t handle it on set… the BTS is hilarious.

“Can’t wait for you all to see!”

Lead actor David Howard Thornton was the one who almost puked.

He plays the terrifying Art the Clown, and confirmed the gruesome attacks were tough to play out.

In response to a fan on social media, Thornton wrote: “I will just say that this is the kill that almost made me vom. That’s a first.”

Damien went on to show give examples of what fans can expect.

He said: “The past couple of weeks on the set of Terrifier 3 have been some of the most intense and taxing of my career!

“But seeing genuine smiles around the monitor & hearing numerous cast & crew members say they’ve gotten chills multiple times makes it all worthwhile. It’s a good one!”

Sick bags were provided to viewers who watched the second instalment at early screenings in 2022, and the director was forced to hit back at cliams it was a marketing stunt.

He said at the time: “To everyone saying that reports of people fainting and puking during screenings of Terrifier 2 is a marketing ploy, I swear on the success of the film it is NOT.

“These reports are 100% legit. I wish we were smart enough to think of that! But then again we didn’t need to.”

One movie goer verified his comments by sharing their experiences of the film.

They wrote: “The guy behind me passed out cold and crashed into my chair, another guy left because he didn’t feel good I overheard him say.

“And walking out of the theatre door I heard a guy puking hard and loud in the bathroom.”

Terrifier 3 launches in cinemas in the UK on October 11th.

Australian TV host Fiona MacDonald announced her own death on social media with a statement prepared for the event of her passing.

MacDonald, known for hosting popular Australian shows including It’s a Knockout and Wombat, was 67. News of her death comes nearly three years after she was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND).

On Thursday (October 3), MacDonald’s sister shared the post written by the late presenter confirming she had died the night before.

“Farewell my friends. My sister Kylie is posting this because I have left the building,” the post began. “Hopefully I’m looking down from a cloud. Last night brought an end to a very tough few months. Was very peaceful the boys and Kylie stayed with me to say goodbye. While I’ve never wanted to die, the thought of leaving my tortured body was a relief.”

She continued: “The last few months have been tough. Unable to swallow normal food, the tube feeding that should have sustained me didn’t work because my gut couldn’t tolerate any of the multiple brands of protein drinks. It went straight in and straight out.

“I have been slowly starving, growing weaker and weaker. I’ve also developed terrible back pain because my muscles aren’t supporting my frame.

“The black humour that served me well through the first years of this journey turned to despair. I made the decision after much soul searching to cease all medical supports and finally go into hospital for end of life palliative care. When you love life as much as I do, it takes a great deal of courage to make choices that lead to farewell.

“So let’s not call it goodbye as I hope to see you again on the other side. Until then: ‘May the wind be always at your back, May the sun shine warm upon your face, May the rain fall softly upon your fields until we meet again, And may God hold you in the hollow of His hand.’“I carry your love and laughter with me and hope you’ll remember mine.”

Macdonald rose to fame in the 1980s, hosting the children’s TV series Wombat between 1983 and 1984 and the game show It’s a Knockout between 1985 and 1987.

Speaking to ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation), Jenny Woodward, who worked with MacDonald on Wombat, remembered her as “one of those people that lit up the room when she walked in.”

“She had a cheeky sense of humour and an infectious laugh and always had a keen eye for a story.”

Jamie Dunn, the puppeteer behind Agro, told 4BC: “It is confronting that life is so cruel at times… All I remember Fiona for is laughing.”

Before her death, MacDonald raised A$223,000 ($153,000) for MND research by taking part in a road trip around Australia with her sister Kylie, which was televised in a 2023 episode of Australian Story, titled The Big Lap – Fiona MacDonald.

By the time the episode was filmed, she was unable to speak and had to use a computer to communicate.

“This is not a disease for the faint-hearted. There is no treatment, no cure… stealing the power of all muscles inch by inch until you can’t walk, can’t hold hands, can’t talk, swallow or breathe,” she said. “Then you die.”

MacDonald is survived by her two sons Harry and Rafe, as well as sisters Kylie and Jacki MacDonald.

THE Apprentice’s Tom Pellereau has revealed the secret to his 13-year partnership with Lord Sugar – after the BBC star ditched at least eight other winners.

Tom, 45, was the first candidate to secure a £250,000 investment prize from Lord Sugar – rather than a job at one of his companies – when he won in 2011.

It was money well spent, as Tom has gone on to build a multi-million pound business and a hugely successful Stylideas brand.

Last month, Tom launched seven new products and Lord Sugar was there to support him in person.

Speaking exclusively to The Sun Online afterwards, Tom revealed all about his partnership with the 77-year-old business icon, and how it had managed to be one of the few to achieve longevity from the show.

He said: “So we have a board meeting at least every two months for a couple of hours.

“He loves products. I always have to take the latest items along.

“He loves touching them, feeling them, giving them a bit of feedback, and he especially likes the packaging stage and the beginning of the marketing stage.

“When he saw the latest packaging of the different ones, he was like, ‘These are really good. You know, this is really coming together nicely.’

“He does usually get very hands on with the products and trying them out.”

While Lord Sugar was impressed by Tom’s latest efforts, he isn’t afraid to be blunt when required.

He explained: “He has always put a lot of pressure on me to succeed.
He’s been like that kind of headmaster that just gives you a hard time.

“And people sort of say, ‘you know, he does quite like you’. And you’re like, ‘Oh, he’s got a very funny way of showing it’. But we’ve had some ups and some downs.”

Despite this, their partnership has endured much longer than many other winners of The Apprentice.

The Mirror revealed earlier this year – before the latest series – that only two of the last 10 winners were still in business with Lord Sugar.

They are boxing gym owner Marnie Swindells, who won last year, and 2013 winner Dr Leah Totton, who runs cosmetics clinics.

Meanwhile some of those who have ended their working relationship with Lord Sugar include 2022 winner Harpreet Kaur, 2016 winner Alana Spencer and joint 2017 winners Sarah Lynn and James White.

I think there was less synergy

Tom Pellereau

Discussing why he thinks he has bucked the trend, Tom said: “I think it’s really helped me that I do products, and that was his origin.

“You know, he started with car aerials, car stereos, then consumer electronics, so he really likes products and he has a lot to offer me in terms of helping with retailer dealings and with suppliers and that sort of thing.

“I think some of the other businesses, which were a bit different, I think maybe there was less synergy, so to speak.”

The Apprentice biggest moments

THE Apprentice has been a fan favourite ever since it burst onto the box in 2005.

Here we take a look at five of the biggest moments over the years on the hit BBC One show.

Tim Campbell – Former London Underground transport manager Tim Campbell won the first series of the reality show in 2005. He is now one of Lord Sugar’s aides on the show.

 Sarah Lynn and James White – For the first and only time in the show’s history, both finalists were crowned winners in 2017.

Amy Anzel – Season 16’s fired candidate Amy Anzel was BANNED from the final celebration show, after a tit-for-tat exchange over Lord Sugar’s mocking tweets.

Michelle Dewberry – Telecoms consultant Michelle Dewberry won the second series of the show in 2006. However, after winning a six-figure job with Lord Sugar she lasted just four months before she sensationally quit.

Selena Waterman-Smith – We’re used to tensions running high in the boardroom, but in 2015 a disagreement between two candidates spilled over – for the first time – into a physical bust-up. Events manager Selina Waterman-Smith was given a verbal warning by show bosses for her role in an off-camera scrap with Charleine Wain.

Tom has also had to juggle growing his business with his personal life, which has changed a lot since he won The Apprentice.

He said: “It’s been hard work. I have had children. So I’ve had two children in that time and I wasn’t even married at the beginning.

“So life has been incredible for those 13 years.”
