MAFS UK star Tasha Jay has been forced to deny that she’s pregnant after she shared a snap from hospital.

The 26-year-old, who took part in the E4 show last year, posted a picture of her lying down on a medical bed with her stomach on display as she admitted “It’s never ending”.

The reality star also put a thumbs up to the camera.

Tasha then shared another picture of her posing with an unimpressed face.

She told fans: “Guys, if I was trying to hide a pregnancy do you think I’d post it on my story.

“You can have ultrasounds for things other than pregnancy.

“Don’t with no baby all up in my womb.”

A while later she shared an update with fans on what the doctors had found.

Tasha said: “Hey guys, thank you for all your sweet messages.

“I am out of hospital now after doctors found out that I have stomach ulcers.

“I’ve never felt pain like it, honestly.

“I’m not 100% but we move.

“Couldn’t let the kids down for Halloween tonight so if I turn up at your door asking for a KitKat, then sensational times.”

Tasha tied the knot with husband Paul Liba last year on the show.

They are one of the remaining couples who are still going strong.

Despite getting married just seconds after meeting as part of the experiment, it isn’t legally binding.

In an exclusive chat with The Sun, Tasha hopes that they will get married one day.

“I want another wedding,” she told us.

“I’m waiting for my ring but that’s on Paul, so I’ll let Paul take that one.”

Paul added: “She’s ready. She’s really annoying me for the ring. And I said, ‘In good time,’ and she’ll definitely get it.

“When I first signed up to MAFS, I was fully committed to the whole process, thinking it was real. 

“I thought, you know what? If I’m legally married to someone, fingers crossed it’s someone I actually like, so even if I’m not properly married to Tasha, I would not have known. I could’ve saved money on another wedding.”

However they still have to tick off one milestone before getting engaged – as the pair live in different parts of the UK.

Tasha is based up north in Leeds, while Paul is in London.

She told us: “It will definitely be by the end of this year. He will be in Leeds and then he will have to become a northerner.

“The plan was originally to move to Manchester together but we’ve decided that Paul’s going to come to Leeds, where I already am and I’ve got my house and then we’ll finally settle on a Manchester apartment. 

“That’s the only argument we have. We’re trying to settle on an apartment because there’s so many and we just have two different tastes.”

As the end of the year approaches, another batch of stars are set to enter the I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! jungle.

The ITV reality show has been on the air since 2000, with winners including Tony Blackburn, Stacey Solomon, Jill Scott and last year’s victor Sam Thompson.

In recent years, I’m a Celebrity has been plagued with controversy for signing up two controversial politicians: former health secretary Matt Hancock in 2022 and Nigel Farage in 2023, which appeared to lead to a downturn in ratings.

Currently, it seems like bosses don’t have anyone quite so contentious waiting in the wings; in the past few weeks, reports have surfaced about which stars could be facing their fears in the Australian jungle.

Below is a rundown of the nine stars who might be on this year’s series.

Coleen Rooney

Coleen Rooney has reportedly signed up to appear on this year’s series. The wife of former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney is said to have secured the biggest deal in the show’s history, which would surpass that of Farage and presenter Noel Edmonds with a fee of over £1.5m. “I’m a Celeb bosses have pulled off a huge coup getting Coleen for the jungle this year and the team are thrilled to have her on board,” a source told The Sun. “Coleen has a huge fanbase and she won massive plaudits for her classy handling of the Wagatha Christie case. She’s excited to show fans a different side to her and prove she can survive without her creature comforts.”

Ally McCoist

This year’s star from the world of football – following in the footsteps of Harry Redknapp, Ian Wright and winner Jill Scott – could be Ally McCoist. The former Rangers pro, who played for Scotland, is now known by many for his commentary on ITV – but it seems he might be heading into the jungle two years after reportedly backing out. An insider told The Sun: “Ally has such a huge fan base thanks to his years of commentating and punditry, plus his long stint on A Question of Sport. He’d be great for the jungle – as his wife and kids have been telling him forever – so everyone is really hopeful that this will be the year.”

Tulisa Contostavlos

One of this year’s biggest rumours is N-Dubz singer Tulisa Contostavlos, who was also once a judge on The X Factor. An insider suggested to The Sun that Contostavlos’s booking was inspired by a recent N-Dubz tour, which “introduced her to a younger generation, especially through platforms like TikTok”. They added: “Tulisa’s diverse career makes her a strong contender for I’m a Celebrity because she appeals to a wide audience. ITV is particularly excited about her new following among 16 to 24-year-olds, and hopes the deal is finalised soon.”

Jane Moore

The second Loose Womenstar who is reportedly poised to follow in the footsteps of fellow panellists Janet Street-Porter, Frankie Bridge and Charlene White is Jane Moore, who first appeared on the ITV panel show in 1999. he has been a regular panellist since 2013 and is rumoured to be up for entering the jungle following a split from her husband of 20 years.

Reverend Richard Coles

Reverend Richard Coles, the media personality and former vicar, who was once a member of the band the Communards, will – according to The Sun – be a campmate on this year’s I’m a Celebrity. A source said: “Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly Come Dancing and his later life as a man of the cloth.” Earlier this year, Coles described his time on Strictly as “brutal” amid a behind-the-scenes scandal.

Dean McCullough

Northern Irish BBC Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough has reportedly been tapped to appear on this year’s series. He started presenting for the station in 2020, standing in for Clara Amfo, and in September 2022, he replaced Scott Mills and Chris Stark, alongside Vicky Hawkesworth, as hosts of Radio 1’s afternoon show.

Alan Halsall

Coronation Street star Alan Halsall, who plays Tyrone Dobbs, had an I’m a Celebrity near-miss in 2023. He was rumoured to be a part of the line-up but was reportedly forced to withdraw after suffering a knee injury; the photo he shared of himself from his hospital bed essentially ruled himself out of appearing. It’s a likely bet, then, that Halsall has been drafted in for the new series.

GK Barry

There are two Loose Women stars being tipped to join I’m a Celebrity this year – and one became a wift favourite to appear after it was reported she had withdrawn from participating in Strictly Come Dancing due to the rehearsal room scandal that hit the BBC show earlier this year. GK Barry – real name Grace Keeling – would be a hit with the youngsters considering she had a huge following on TikTok, Instagram and YouTube

Olivia Atwood

Love Island star Olivia Atwood might finally be able to re-enter the jungle after being forced to withdraw from the competition in 2022 after just one day. Atwood left the series “as a precautionary measure” in order to “undergo some medical checks” and, when asked if she would appear the following year, she ruled herself out due to scheduling conflicts. However, Atwood could very possibly have kept this winter free to finally complete her tenure in the jungle.

Tommy Fury

One star who is sure to be top of producers’ wish list is Tommy Fury. The former Love Island star and boxer, who recently split from his fiancée Molly Mae Hague, has just released a memoir he will undoubtedly want to promote ahead of Christmas. Fury has now fanned the flames of speculation after dodging a question about his possible I’m a Celebrity involvement on Heart Radio.

When asked if he’ll appear, he said: “Listen, a lot of things in my life is like a rollercoaster in a minute. There are so many things I might do. You know, could he be doing this? Could he be doing that? I don’t know what I’m doing this afternoon. I mean, I just take literally an hour at a time, so I don’t know. There’s a lot of things going on in my life right now. So, I’m not sure on anything.”

However, it was reported on 25 October that Fury had dropped out of the show, weeks before it was due to begin on Sunday 17 November.

Maura Higgins

Shortly after it was claimed fury had withdrawn from the series, another Love Island star’s name was thrown into the mix: Maura Higgins. Higgins is one of the ITV2 reality show’s best-loved contestants, having appeared on series five in 2019. A source told The Sun: “With Tommy Fury pulling out, it gave show bosses the opportunity to look at other Love Island stars and Maura stood out as the perfect candidate.”

An ITV spokesperson told The Independent: “Any names suggested for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out Of Here! are just speculation.”

ITV’s new drama Until I Kill You tells the true story of nurse Delia Balmer’s shocking ordeal of realising her boyfriend of three years was a serial killer.

The series, based on Balmer’s 2017 memoir Living with a Serial Killer, stars Motherland ‘s Anna Maxwell Martin as Balmer andVigil actor Shaun Evans as serial killer John Sweeney. It depicts everything from the beginning of the pair’s relationship to all the moments Balmer tried to leave Sweeney, up until when he attacked her using an axe.

Balmer and Sweeney met in a pub in London’s Camden in 1991 and instantly got along when they learnt of each other’s love for travelling. Sweeney told Balmer he worked on construction sites in Germany and travelled frequently.

When their relationship began, Sweeney called Balmer regularly; he would gift her flowers and shower her with affection. Balmer later realised that these attempts at showing love were manipulative as he gradually became more controlling and physically abusive as time went on.

Writing in her memoir, Balmer remarked that the changes happened slowly at the beginning. “I should’ve known something was wrong but I am too soft and trusting. I’d never come across anything like it before,” she wrote.

Balmer attempted to get out of the relationship but she feared for her safety. She briefly left Sweeney in 1994 and changed the locks on her front door. She asked the police to investigate a suspicious bag hidden behind a bathroom panel, which she describes in the book as a “body disposal kit meant for me”.

Despite Balmer’s attempts to warn the police, Sweeney broke into her home and held her hostage for four days, tying her to a bed and threatening her with a gun. He then confessed to murdering his previous girlfriend, 33-year-old Melissa Halstead and two men in Amsterdam (Halstead’s remains had been found mutilated in a canal in Rotterdam in 1990 but no suspect had been linked).

When Sweeney did leave the flat, Balmer fled to report what had happened to the police. They arrested Sweeney for holding her hostage but allowed him out on bail.

Balmer returned home one day after Sweeney’s release to find him waiting to attack her with an axe. In harrowing scenes recounted in both the book and series, Sweeney cut off one of Balmer’s fingers, while a neighbour came to her rescue by striking Sweeney with a baseball bat. Sweeney escaped and went on the run.

In the subsequent trial, Balmer said: “He had the axe above his head ready to finish me off. Then the man next door came out and risked his life. I had just curled up ready to go.”

Balmer was severely injured; her arm was broken, her tendons were torn and she had a missing finger.

Sweeney was arrested in 2001 and was given four life sentences for the attempted murder of Balmer, and for having four guns when he was arrested while on the run.

In 2010, while serving this sentence, he was charged with the murder of Halstead and the murder of 31-year-old Paula Fields, who he had killed while on the run. Her body was also found in Regent’s Canal near Camden in 2001.

He was found guilty of both crimes in 2011 and sentenced to life imprisonment. According to the BBC, authorities believe he may have killed three more women who had gone missing in the area between 1970 and 1990.

When Sweeney, originally from Merseyside, was sentenced at the Old Bailey in 2011, judge Mr Justice Saunders called the murders “terrible, wicked crimes”.

“The heads of the victims having been removed, it is impossible to be certain how they were killed. The mutilation of the bodies is a serious aggravating feature of the murders,” he explained.

“Not only does it reveal the cold-blooded nature of the killer, but it has added greatly to the distress of the families to know that parts of the bodies of their loved ones have never been recovered.”

Until I Kill You begins on 3 November on ITV1.

MARRIED At First Sight fans have called out Sacha for making a major relationship U-turn after meeting Ross’ family.

She quickly became emotional and broke down in tears at his sweet relationship with his little girl.

But Sacha, who lives in Birmingham, admitted she was having second thoughts about moving and leaving her family behind.

She told the camera: “Seeing Ross interact with his daughter and seeing the love between them is just so cute.

“Because of how my connection is with my dad, I can completely relate to Ross’ relationship with his daughter.

“He adores Blue and I can see how happy he is.

Despite previously discussions about her moving, Sacha admitted she was having reservations.

She went on: “I’ve got a lot more to think about now because I need to think about myself and my support network in Walsall and what I need, but I also need to consider Ross and the little life in his life.”

She then dropped the bombshell on Ross during a one-on-one chat.

Sacha told her husband: “Seeing Ross with his daughter, probably just reminded me of my relationship with my dad – I don’t want to leave home.

“My head is just fried, so I definitely need to weigh things up and think about it a little bit more.

“It might be hard being away from my family, I’m going to miss them so much, usually I always have their support and guidance…Manchester is not a certainty any more.

“Maybe I just need to be a little bit closer to my family. I’m just unsure.”

Ross explained that he was unable to move to closer to Sacha because of his commitment to his daughter.

“Don’t rush into it, take time and think about it,” he advised his wife.

Sacha said: “It’s definitely a sensitive subject speaking about where me and Ross are going to live, there is still a lot to think of and decide on.

We’re so close to the end of the experiment now and I just hope it doesn’t get in the way of our relationship.”

Ross then received some sisterly advice, with her sibling revealing that his new wife won’t move to Manchester.

His sister was shocked by the news and said: “Hearing that Sacha might not want to come to Manchester obviously makes me worried that Ross might move to Birmingham.

“I wouldn’t want that, none of his family members would want that, obviously Blue’s here, Manchester is where his daughter is.”

Many fans were baffled by Sacha rout moving to be with Ross and his family.

One wrote: “Sacha going on about how family oriented she is and doesn’t want to be the one to move yet would prefer Ross to leave his daughter???”

A second posted: “You’d think if Sacha is so close with her dad, she wouldn’t want to put another dad in a position between choosing her and his very young child.”

A third said: “Sacha doesn’t want to be a step mum.”

“Not buying a word of Sasha’s VT there. She has no intention of staying,” a fourth commented.

This person echoed: “Sacha is childish can’t fathom that Ross daughter is number one in his life.”

Another added: “Sacha don’t wanna leave her daddy but she wants Ross to leave his CHILD! Oh f*** off girl. We all see you for what you are.”

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.”
