In a teaser trailer at the end of last night’s episode, the pair’s cookery class quickly took a very sour turn.

Luke couldn’t resist showering Amy with the sort of compliments that have consistently given her the ick.

He told her: “That’s actually really sexy. I’m not going to lie.”

Continuing her food prep work, she replied: “Behave.”

The suave butler in the buff then seductively licked chocolate from a wooden spoon.

Amy said: “This is a cooking class, not a porno.”

She fumed to camera: “I’ve given Luke chance after chance.”

Sitting down for a heart to heart, attention turned to Luke’s past.

Amy asked: “Can you tell me how many relationships you’ve had?”

Luke responded: “Even that number’s probably inaccurate.”

An upset Amy fumed: “What the f**k? Absolute b*****ks.”

She then stormed out of the room, leaving Luke alone at the countertop.

The dramatic moment followed a difficult homestays week for the pair in which they didn’t see eye to eye.

Amy was grossed out by Luke letting her dog lick him, and she also accused him of ‘lying’ after seeing a photo on his fridge.

Luke cut the picture to remove a girl from it, but lied to Amy about the gender of the person he’d got rid of.

Then, things went from bad to worse as Luke told Amy she looked ‘bloated’ in a throwback photo of her, and then pointed out mould on the ceiling of her mum’s house.

Emily Maitlis eviscerated Boris Johnson during a heated back-and-forth during Channel 4’s coverage of the US election.

As the votes for Kamala Harris and Donald Trump were counted, Maitlis and Krishnan Guru-Murthy welcomed a rotating series of guests, including the former UK prime minister alongside Stormy Daniels and Succession actor Brian Cox, to debate the current state of politics in the US.

Johnson was present as a Trump supporter and, at one stage, Maitlis, who became a UK election night favourite after shutting down Nadine Dorries back in July, asked him about the “Trump-like behaviour” he “started importing” while he was prime minister.

Follow along with all the live updates from the US election here.

“You essentially started importing some of that Trump-like behaviour in Britian when you were prime minister,” she said, adding: “His disregard for institutions, his disregard for the rule of law, his denialism, which I think, I guess, was mirrored in your response to the privileges committee, your response to the parliament standards committee, your proroguing of parliament. This is all Trump-like behaviour.”

Johsnon said, through laughter, that he “disagreed profoundly” and proceeded to promote his book in what would be the first of seven times in eight minutes.

Unimpressed, Maitlis told him: “I don’t know why it’s funny,” to which Johnson said he didn’t “accept” the analogy “at all” as he feels it is “very dangerous” to compare UK and US politics. He then steered the conversation to Brexit, but Maitlis shut this down.

“I don’t know why you’re talking about Brexit, you know precisely what we’re talking about,” the presenter said, before reeling off the fact that he rejected the Owen Paterson affair, where the former Conservative MP was found to have broken standards law, and quoted people as saying it’s a kangaroo court – a phrase describing an informal, unlawful, and often unfair court that doesn’t follow legal standards or justice.

Johnson acknowledged that he was wrong to have done so, and the steered the conversation to what he said was a successful response to Covid, but Maitlis was having none of it: “It’s nothing to do with that, you know it’s not to do with that – it’s about how you respond to institutions and people calling out your lies.”

Johnson then questioned Channel 4’s election coverage, calling it “a massively eschewed approach to a US election”, to which Maitlis said: “I’m asking you to account for your actions.”

Maitlis was then interested to know whether Johnson would be inspired by a Trump victory to launch his own political comeback, and Johnson told her that the answer “is obviously contained” in his new book.

Here, Maitlis hit back with what has been branded the “line of the night” as she replied: “We’re not all gonna read your book so just tell us: do you want to have a political comeback?”

Deflecting, Johnson wondered why he was being asked, with Guru-Murthy defending Maitlis’s choice of question. Maitlis also pointed out: “You haven’t answered a single question – it’s extraordinary.”

Jonson stated: “The answer is you shouldn’t do it unless you think you can be useful and, by the way, Emily, I’ve answered all your questions all night.”

Viewers heaped praise upon Maitlis for keeping at Johnson despite his attempts to steer the conversation in other directions.

“I found this cathartic. Great grilling by Emily. And I love it that repeatedly nobody laughs at his stupid joking around,” one person wrote, with another adding: “This is what I love about Emily Maitlis. It doesn’t matter how important you think you are, she will get right to heart of the issue and ask the direct questions.”

One viewer called the clip “eight minutes of someone destroying Johnson live on air”.

It appeared that the experts made a perfect match at the start of the experiment, but in recent weeks, the two have clashed a number of times.

During home stay week it was apparent that neither of them want to move away from their friends and family.

Sacha is based in Birmingham, while Ross lives in Manchester.

This evening’s episode of Married At First Sight saw the remaining couples sit in front of the experts one last time for the last ceremony.

And it was definitely an emotional one between Sacha and Ross.

Mel pointed out that the two didn’t look happy – and Ross told her that the moving situation has been affecting them both.

During their emotional chat, Sacha broke down in tears as she spoke about how much she valued their relationship.

She said while sobbing: “One of the questions you [Ross] asked me was ‘do you fall in love easy?’

“I said ‘absolutely not!’

“But when I met you, you were everything that I wanted.

“So I thought the universe had blessed me and I really wanted to so everything I could to make you happy.

“You do make me happy.”

Sacha continued to sob as she said: “

“I do feel like I’ve bent over backwards in this process to do everything that I can for you.

“And I’ve never done that for anyone like I am with you.

“I’ve never been that way.”

At the end of the chat, Ross wrote stay, while Sacha decided to pick leave.

The two agreed that they will work on their relationship.

Ahead of the release of season two of highly-anticipated Korean drama series Squid Game, show creator Hwang Dong-hyuk opened up about what the audience can expect to see in season two of the hit dystopian thriller.

In a new interview, Hwang described how he approached the second season and the motivation behind Player 456 Gi-hun’s return to the game that nearly took his life.

South Korean actor Lee Jung-jae played Gi-hun in the first season and will reprise his role in the forthcoming seasons.

“Honestly when I was creating season one I didn’t plan in any detail that there would be a second season,” Hwang told The Hollywood Reporter at a For Your Consideration awards event in Los Angeles on Sunday.

“However, I did have something in mind that if there were to ever be a second season, I had this idea of what story I would tell; I thought it would be the story of Gi-hun turning away from where he was at the end of season one and going back into the games in order to put a stop to the game,”

He added that “throughout seasons two and three, it’s going to be about that very journey by Gi-hun that you’re going to be following, both physically and emotionally.”

Squid Game follows a group of cash-strapped contestants fighting to the death for a life-changing sum of money.

The official description for season two states: “Three years after winning Squid Game, Player 456 remains determined to find the people behind the game and put an end to their vicious sport. Using this fortune to fund his search, Gi-hun starts with the most obvious of places: look for the man in a sharp suit playing ddakji in the subway. But when his efforts finally yield results, the path toward taking down the organisation proves to be deadlier than he imagined: to end the game, he needs to re-enter it.”

The sequel series will arrive nearly three years after its 2021 nine-episode debut, which broke records for Netflix. It currently ranks as the most-watched season of television in the company’s history.

At a panel conversation held after a screening of the new season’s first episode, Hwang said: “Gi-hun has experienced too many things, witnessed too many deaths, for him to return to the way it was before, no matter how hard he tries. The way you see Gi-hun in season one and the state that you see him in in season two are very different.”

To describe season two in a nutshell, Hwang simply said: “Season two is crazy.”

It became the first non-English language drama series to receive nominations in several major categories at the Emmy Awards, including Best Drama. Lead star Lee Jung-jae became the first Korean to win the Best Actor award.

Hwang also became the first Asian director to win in the Outstanding Drama Series category and the first ever director to win for a non-English language series.

Season two will be followed by a third and final season arriving sometime in 2025.

In late October, it was also revealed that David Fincher was reportedly in talks with Netflix to develop an English-language adaptation of the show.

Season 2 of Squid Game will be released on Netflix on 26 December.

I’m A Celebrity 2024

As the hit ITV show enters into its 24th series, a brand new batch of famous faces look set to enter the Aussie jungle once again to face terrifying Bushtucker Trials and living amongst the critters in camp in order to come out on top and be crowned King or Queen of the Jungle. The Sun’s Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars heading Down Under this year…

Coleen Rooney – Arguably the most famous name heading into the camp, the leading WAG, known for her marriage to Wayne Rooney, will be making a grand return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four had bagged an eye-watering deal worth over £1.5million to head into the camp this year making her the highest-paid contestant ever.

Tulisa – The popstar and former X Factor judge looks set to be making a triumphant TV comeback by signing up to this year’s I’m A Celeb after shunning TV shows for many years. Known for being a member of the trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV show The X Factor in a multi-million pound deal.

Alan Halsall – The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course. Now he will be hoping to become the latest Corrie star to win over both the viewers and his fellow celebrities when he gets into camp.

Melvin Odoom – The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. He has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet – the Aussie jungle.

GK Barry – The UK’s biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has transformed her TikTok stardom into a lucrative career. Aside from her popular social media channels, she hosts the weekly podcast, Saving Grace, and regularly appears on ITV talk show, Loose Women. She has even gone on to endorse popular brand such as PrettyLittleThing, KFC and Ann Summers.

Dean McCullough – A rising star amongst this year’s bunch of celebs, Dean first achieved notability through his radio appearances on Gaydio and BBC Radio 1. He was chosen to join the BBC station permanently in 2021 and has featured prominently ever since. He has enjoyed a crossover to ITV over the past year thanks to his guest slots on Big Brother spin-off show, Late & Live.

Oti Mabuse – The pro dancer has signed up to her latest TV show after making her way through the biggest programmes on the box. She origianlly found fame on Strictly Come Dancing but has since branched out into the world of TV judging with appearances on former BBC show The Greatest Dancer as well as her current role on ITV’s Dancing On Ice.

Danny Jones – The McFly star was drafted into the programme last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle, after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he’s now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice, along with bandmate Tom. A jungle insider said: “As well as bringing some of the star appeal of the group with him, he’ll be supplying some serious guy candy for the campmates and viewers at home.”

Maura Higgins – The Irish TV beauty first found fame on Love Island where she found a brief connection with dancer Curtis Pritchard. Since then, she has competed on Dancing On Ice as well as hosting the Irish version of the beauty contest, Glow Up. Since last year, she has been working on building up her career in the US by being the social media correspondent and host of Aftersun to accompany Love Island USA. She even guest hosted an episode of the spin-off, Love Island Games, in place of Maya Jama last year.

Jane Moore – The Loose Women star and The Sun columnist will be braving the creepy crawlies this year. The star is ready for a new challenge – having recently split from her husband. It will be Jane’s first foray into reality TV with the telly favourite having always said no to reality shows in the past.

Barry McGuigan – Former pro boxer Barry will become the latest fighting champ to head Down Under following in the footsteps of Tony Bellew and Amir Khan. It comes after a tough few years for Irish star Barry, who lost his daughter Danika to breast cancer. He told The Late Late Show in 2021: “She was such an intrinsic part of the family that every day we ache.”

Rev. Richard Coles – Former BBC radio host the Rev Richard Coles is set for I’m A Celebrity — and is ready to let rip at his old employer. The former Communards and Strictly star, 62, said the BBC did not know its a**e from its elbow last year.An insider 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 and his later life as a man of the cloth.”

In a video captioned: “If we had to describe this year’s lineup in 10 words,” the two presenters reacted as they found out who’d be joining.

Reactions included the words: “Good. Very good. Really good. Brilliant. Yes. Yes. Yes. YES.”

The TV favourites could be seen sitting alongside each other while being told the cast reveal.

Those watching the video can’t hear whose names they’re reacting to, but the happy duo seem delighted as they shout “yes” and clap their hands.

For one of the sign ups, they can be heard gasping, and for another they burst into laughter.

Current affairs comedy programme Have I Got News For You has been hit by government threats over the years accusing it of “enormous bias”, says Ian Hislop.

The panel show, which has been running since 1990, features Hislop and the comedian Paul Merton as they captain two teams to answer questions on topical news stories. The satirical BBC series was considered innovative when it first debuted, and its success led to various imitations of its format.

However, comedian and Private Eye editor Hislop has revealed that it has not always been smooth sailing for the team, as their irreverent approach has led to warnings and complaints by successive governments over the years.

“Most of the threats over the years have been that various governments have leant on the BBC and told them this programme is appallingly leftwing or appallingly rightwing, depending which government it is,” he told The Guardian.

“They’ve managed to find enormous bias against themselves when they’re in office. That has always struck me as the more likely end.”

Hislop finds this a marker of the show’s health.

“There aren’t many other comedy shows left like ours,” he continued. “We’re the last bed by the door. I expect it’s just a matter of time.”

Commenting on the topics covered by the programme and the juxtaposition of Hislop’s and Merton’s style, he said: “Most comedy in Britain is about class. We think we’re obsessed by sex. We’re not really.”

He continued, “The pairing of Paul – who’s still cross that people went to Oxbridge – and me was a very good bit of casting because it meant there are two completely different styles. I care about the news. He doesn’t. That dynamic was very clever. Paul thought I was a stuffed shirt and I thought he was an oik.”

Meanwhile, Merton said he hoped to bring an element of “anarchy” to the panel.

“I wore a T-shirt because everybody wore suits and ties,” he said. “I thought we looked like a parole board, and it needed an element of anarchy. I also wanted some rudeness.”

He added that he would continue working on the show until the end of time, “The news agenda always changes… But we’ll keep going until the sun explodes and consumes the Earth, which will be the top story the following week.”
