The latest instalment saw Adam ‘welcome’ his wife Polly into his Nottingham home after their arguments on the hit reality show.

Things did not start well for the pair as the barber was very protective over his home, particularly over how tidy it should remain.

She was then left on edge when he did not leave her any space to unpack her belongings.

Later, the pair welcomed Adam’s friend to his house where they continued to bicker as Polly prepared food for the trio.

The couple were then engulfed in a huge bust-up as his mate was awkwardly sitting in the middle.

Later, Polly’s friend Alfie gave her some home truths about her marriage.

As they watched the Married At First Sight UK scenes unfold, fans could not help but think that things were well and truly over for Adam and Polly.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, some claimed that he has completely checked out of the relationship.

One fan claimed: “Adam can’t even pretend to hide the fact that he hates her.”

“Adam has checked OUT of this relationship,” stated a second user.

As a third echoed: “This relationship between Adam and Polly is well and truly over. The fact he said she’s lucky that he stayed in the marriage… Yeah… He’s checked out.”

While a fourth viewer noted: “If Adam is totally honest with Polly about how he really feels, they will definitely split up.”

“Adam has already decided he doesn’t want Polly. And he’s just trying to find excuses for that now, by blaming her,” wrote a fifth user.

As a sixth added: “Adam never has and never will want a relationship with Polly. Simple.”

Actor Wendell Pierce, known for his roles in Suits and The Wire, was forced to leave the final game of the 2024 World Series early due to “unruly” behavior from baseball fans at Yankee Stadium.

On Wednesday (October 30) the Los Angeles Dodgers faced off against the New York Yankees in the Bronx, New York, for Game 5 of the MLB World Series. While the Yankees came out strong in the first five innings of the game with a five-point lead, the Dodgers clinched a 7-6 victory after the New York team made a string of defensive errors.

Pierce was in the stands for game five, wearing a signature Yankees blue baseball cap labeled with the team’s white insignia. While the Elsbeth star admitted he “loves both teams,” he decided to support the Bronx Bombers at their home stadium.

However, that all changed when Pierce became the target of “unruly” and “obnoxious” fans at the game.

“Unfortunately I just left the Yankees game because I was talking to a Dodgers fan and people were throwing things at me,” he posted on X/Twitter. “Unruly, obnoxious people can ruin everything. The worst experience ever. The game and experience is of no significance now. The spirit of sports ends with the ugliness of humanity.”

The 60-year-old actor slammed “suburban who-ha’s” for ruining “the artistry of [Gerrit] Cole pitching a no hitter into the fifth, or [Freddie] Freeman with a four-game consecutive home run streak” during the World Series game.

“It will mean nothing to me because all I remember will be the obnoxious fans I had to avoid,” he admitted.

Pierce also shared that his negative experience at Yankee Stadium was the “complete opposite” of his time at the 2024 Olympics, where “competition is celebrated because of the level of expertise.”

“The World Series is over for me,” he added. “I could care less about its outcome. I saw [Aaron] Judge find his swing for a homerun, I saw a walk off Grand Slam homerun by Freeman. I saw a masterclass in pitching by Cole and [Jack] Flaherty. The players I will remember. The game La mean nothing [sic].”

The Jack Ryan actor didn’t reveal whether it was Dodgers fans or Yankees fans who threw the items at him. His World Series experience comes after two Yankees fans attempted to rip the ball out of Dodgers star Mookie Betts’s glove during game four on Tuesday evening.

The outfielder lept towards the stands in foul territory to catch a hit by Gleyber Torres at the bottom of the first. It was then that a fan in the front row, who was wearing a Yankees jersey, grabbed Betts’s glove with both hands and ripped the ball out, while another grabbed Betts’s other hand. The ball flew out of Betts’s glove and onto the field, prompting a fan interference ruling and an out.

The two spectators were ejected from the stadium and ultimately banned from attending game five the following night.

“Last night two fans were ejected from Yankee Stadium for egregious and unacceptable physical contact with Dodgers outfielder Mookie Betts,” the league and club said in a statement. “The safety and security of players, fans and Stadium staff is the foundational element of every event held at Yankee Stadium, and it cannot be compromised.

“Yankee Stadium is known for its energy and intensity, however the exuberance of supporting one’s team can never cross the line into intentionally putting players at physical risk.”

Dancing with Wolves actor Nathan Chasing Horse has once again been indicted by a Nevada grand jury on charges that he sexually abused Indigenous women and girls for decades.

In a new 21-count indictment unsealed on Thursday (October 31) in Virginia’s Clark County District Court, which includes Las Vegas, the 48-year-old Native American actor has once again been charged with sexual assault, lewdness and kidnapping. It also adds felony charges of producing and possessing child sexual abuse materials.

The new charges come after the Nevada Supreme Court in September ruled for the dismissal of Chasing Horse’s original indictment, though it left open the possibility for charges to be refiled. The court had originally sided with Chasing Horse, saying that prosecutors had abused the grand jury process.

Clark County District Attorney Steve Wolfson quickly vowed to seek another indictment.

The initial 18-count indictment charged Chasing Horse with more than a dozen felonies. He had pleaded not guilty.

His lawyer, Kristy Holston, had also argued that the case should be dismissed because, the former actor said, the sexual encounters were consensual. One of his accusers was younger than 16, the age of consent in Nevada, when the abuse began, according to the indictment.

Neither Wolfson nor Holston immediately responded to the Associated Press’s phone or emailed requests for comment.

Best known for portraying the character Smiles A Lot in the 1990 movie Dances with Wolves, Chasing Horse was born on the Rosebud Reservation in South Dakota, which is home to the Sicangu Sioux, one of the seven tribes of the Lakota nation.

After starring in the Oscar-winning film, authorities have said, he propped himself up as a self-proclaimed Lakota medicine man while traveling around North America to perform healing ceremonies.

He is accused of using that position to gain the trust of vulnerable Indigenous women and girls, lead a cult and take underage wives.

Chasing Horse’s arrest last January reverberated around Indian Country and helped law enforcement in the US and Canada corroborate long-standing allegations against him, leading to more criminal charges, including on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation in Montana. Tribal leaders had banished Chasing Horse in 2015 from the reservation amid allegations of human trafficking.

His arrest was the culmination of a months-long investigation that began after police received a tip in October 2022. According to a 50-page search warrant obtained by Associated Press, Chasing Horse is believed to be the leader of a cult known as The Circle.

He has remained jailed in Las Vegas since his arrest.

When the Nevada Supreme Court ordered the dismissal of Chasing Horse’s indictment, the judges said they were not weighing in on his guilt or innocence, calling the allegations against him serious. But the court said that prosecutors improperly provided the grand jury with a definition of grooming without expert testimony, and faulted them for withholding from the grand jury inconsistent statements made by one of his accusers.

Chasing Horse’s legal issues have been unfolding at the same time lawmakers and prosecutors around the US are funneling more resources into cases involving Native women, including human trafficking and murders.

SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY

IF his neck injury had been one inch to the left, Christopher Reeve would have died instantly.

One inch to the right and he would have dusted himself down and got back on his horse.

But life is full of cruel ironies. And the actor who was once Superman to the entire world sustained a neck injury in a riding accident in May 1995 that left him paralysed and unable to breath unaided.

After his devoted wife, Dana, told him in his hospital bed “You are still you . . . and I love you,” Reeve decided not to let go of life.

Best of friends

He chose to fight with every ounce of mental and physical strength he had to see his three children grow, be with Dana and bring the world a different kind of Superman.

One who shone a light on disability and relentlessly fundraised for the cause until his death in 2004.

Reeve’s three adult children — Matt and Alexandra, with long-time partner Gae Exton, and youngest Will with Dana — provide an honest, insightful and often heart-breaking narration.

Other talking heads include Glenn Close, Whoopi Goldberg and Susan Sarandon, who are all able to provide more detail of Reeve as a talented actor and performer.

He was always keen to impress his strict and pushy father, who was unimpressed when his son chose acting as a career.

While Reeve was delighted to win the role as Clark Kent and Superman, it shows him go from pure dedication in films one and two, to exhausted and slightly ashamed in films three and four.

He wanted to be taken seriously as an actor and remained the best of friends with former college roommate Robin Williams.

There is a devastating clip of Williams talking at his funeral that would defy the driest eyes not to fill with tears.

Glenn Close believes if Reeve was still alive, Williams would be too.

But it is Reeve’s children and their mums who all come across as eloquent, empathetic and deeply loving, making you warm to the family even more.

Dana tragically died of lung cancer 17 months after the death of her husband.

Their love story is as beautiful as it is tragic.

This moving film shows how Reeve’s relentless fight and determination to carry on living truly made him a Man of Steel.

ENJOY Hugh Grant relishing his turn as a terrifying toff, in this cerebral creep scare.

Grant is the seemingly harmless Mr Reed, who invites two young Mormon missionaries, Sister Paxton (Sophie Thatcher) and Sister Barnes (Chloe East) into his remote house to tell him more about their faith as a snowstorm rages.

Naive Sister Barnes is in awe of her friend’s record of landing “eight or nine” new Mormons and keen to secure her first conversion, so, after checking as per church rules that his wife is in the house, the two enter.

Our young apostles quickly realise sociopathic Mr Reed has a very different transcendental experience in mind.

Things descend into cat and mouse fare with plenty of slasher and jump frights.

But the script is best as predator and prey ramp up the dread levels by holding religious dichotomies under the microscope.

Charming, chilling Mr Reed comparing different faith doctrines to board games and Radiohead albums, while our young preachers defend their theological beliefs by quoting TikTok back is sharp, smart, and superbly scary.

BLITZ

(12A) 120mins

DURING the eight-month Blitz in 1940 around 30,000 Londoners lost their lives.

Oscar-winning director Steve McQueen’s Second World War movie looks at some of the characters trapped in the capital.

His hero is George (Elliott Heffernan), a mixed-race boy who lives with his white mum, Rita, (Saoirse Ronan) and grandad (Paul Weller in his first acting role).

Rita makes the difficult decision to evacuate George, who is so furious his last words to her are “I hate you.”

Racked with guilt, he jumps from the moving train and makes his way back to London, meeting an eclectic mix of goodies and baddies on his long and dangerous journey home.

He faces racism throughout, with the message becoming pretty relentless.

After getting off to an explosive start, Blitz loses its way, weaving from shocking bomb scenes to sickly-sweet period drama with some toe curling clichés.

There’s some ropey characterisation, mostly the Dickensian thieves played by Stephen Graham and Kathy Burke.

Ronan as always is a scene stealer, but this war film doesn’t live up to its potential.

LeBron James has endorsed Kamala Harris in next week’s presidential election, saying the “choice is clear.”

The LA Lakers star and Space Jam: A New Legacy actor, 39, campaigned for Joe Biden in 2020.

In a message posted to his X/Twitter account, James wrote: “What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!”

The post also included a video featuring clips of racist remarks made by Donald Trump and comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, ending with the caption: “Hate takes us back.”

In 2020, Republican candidate Donald Trump mocked James after he campaigned for Biden. Trump said he “felt badly for LeBron” — who had just won his fourth NBA Championship — because Finals ratings were down so much.

He added: “I didn’t watch one shot. I get bored.”

The crowd then erupted into chants of “LeBron James sucks”, to which Trump responded: “What a crowd!”

James said at the time that he had no interest in a social media war with the then-president. “I don’t go back and forth with anybody. And I damn sure won’t go back and forth with that guy,” he told the New York Times.

The NBA star is the latest in a string of celebrities who’ve endorsed the Democratic presidential nominee. Most recently, Madonna and Friends alum Jennifer Aniston both revealed her picks for president, with the latter calling a vote for Harris a “vote for sanity and human decency.”

Terminator star and former Republican California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger shocked some fans when he revealed he’ll be casting his ballot for the Democratic vice president.

Meanwhile, actor Leonardo DiCaprio explained he’ll be voting for Harris because Republican nominee Donald Trump “continues to deny the facts” and “deny the science” around climate change.

Backing Harris’s record on the climate, DiCaprio added: “We need a bold step forward to save our economy, our planet and ourselves. That’s why I’m voting for Kamala Harris.

“She helped lead the most significant climate action in US history, including passing the Inflation Reduction Act. Under her leadership, we set ambitious targets for achieving net zero emissions by 2050 and building a green economy that not only creates jobs, but also helps save our planet.”

Sarah Jessica Parker, Anne Hathaway and lifestyle guru Martha Stewart have also revealed they’ll be voting for Harris on election day, November 5.

They joined Breaking Bad actor Bryan Cranston, who publicly endorsed Harris at a recent Democratic campaign rally in Phoenix, Arizona, and the likes of Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Stevie Wonder, and Bruce Springsteen.

Trump, meanwhile, can count on the support of Mel Gibson, Zachary Levi and Dennis Quaid.

DAVID Mitchell’s new BBC comedy Ludwig has been confirmed for a second season. 

The hit series, which stars Mitchell as an avid puzzle lover who turns his expertise to solving crime, has been renewed after becoming one of the BBC’s biggest shows in years.

Drawing the most viewers for a new show since 2022, more than 9.5million people have tuned in and streamed the series since its release last month. 

According to industry outlet BroadcastNow, Ludwig is the biggest comedy series launch on the Beeb in six years, and the highest rated scripted show this year. 

Ludwig even beat the likes of Silent Witness, Call The Midwife and Death in Paradise for this accolade. 

Fans had already compared it to Death in Paradise, calling the show the ‘perfect replacement’ for the long-running favourite.

Viewership figures revealed that the first episode along drew in 7.4million viewers in the first 28 days of release, with the number going up to 9.5million when counting streaming figures. 

With so many records being nabbed, it should come as no surprise that a second series is now on its way. 

Mitchell will return to the show as John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor, who fell into life as a detective when trying to figure out the truth behind his twin brother James’s disappearance. 

Teaming up with James’s wife Lucy (played by Line Of Duty’s Anna Maxwell Martin) the pair get to work and find a newfound love of detection. 

Anna is also believed to be making a comeback for the new series as well. 

Jon Petrie, BBC director of comedy commissioning, told the outlet of the announcement: “the combination of sharp writing, David Mitchell’s pitch-perfect casting, and a standout ensemble of British comic talent make Ludwig truly distinctive within the cosy crime genre.”  

He added the show “has the potential to enjoy a long and successful run” due to its unique idea that taps into both comedy and true crime fans. 

“We know that comedy stands out for audiences on iPlayer,” he said. “As we know, traditional sitcoms take a lot longer to find their audience but when it does, statistics show us that repeat viewing increases massively and shows have a longer tail.” 

Petrie added that the BBC hopes to commission more shows that blend genres in this way going forward.
