Ariana Grande has announced that she’s rescheduling three shows on her current live show due to “safety” concerns relating to the concerts’ production.

The Wicked star is currently in the middle of her first world tour in seven years, in support of her 2024 album Eternal Sunshine.

On Monday evening, she announced that two dates on the US leg scheduled for next month are now being delayed to ensure the safety of those in attendance.

Her show at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on Sunday 12 July has now been bumped to Tuesday 14 July, while two shows in Boston on Wednesday 22 and Friday 24 July have been rescheduled to Thursday 23 and Sunday 26 July, respectively.

Responding to the news on Instagram, Ariana explained: “We are so sorry for these unfortunate scheduling changes. This was our best and safest option as these challenges with production have come to our attention.

“The utmost important thing to us all is safety, first and foremost, and also making sure you all see the show how it is intended to run. Thank you so much for your understanding and I cannot wait to see you.”

Once the US leg of Ariana’s Eternal Sunshine tour is done in August, she’ll bring the show across the Atlantic, where the European leg will consist of 10 nights at London’s O2 Arena.

“I’m very excited to do this small tour, but I think it might not happen again for a long, long, long, long time,” she explained before hitting the road earlier in the summer.

“So, I’m going to give it my all. I think that’s why I’m doing it, because I’m like, ‘One last hurrah. For now’.”

Before the No Tears Left To Cry singer brings her Eternal Sunshine tour to the UK, she’s due to release her eighth studio album Petal, led by her recent chart-topping single Hate That I Made You Love Me.

Ariana previously teased that her new music is “full of life” and was inspired by “growing” in light of “cold and hard and challenging” life experiences.

The British Board Of Film Classification (BBFC) has unveiled its annual report, which includes the films it received the most complaints for in 2025.

The movie that topped the list was Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman’s domestic dark comedy The Roses.

Upon its release last year, the movie was met with some backlash due to a scene in which Benedict’s character tricked his wife into eating raspberries, despite her being allergic to them, and withholding her auto-injector medication.

At the time of its release, leading allergy charity the Natasha Allergy Research Foundation (NARF) branded the sequence “dangerous”, “careless” and “offensive”, with the BBFC having now confirmed this was the reason The Roses was its most complained-about movie last year.

“Complainants were concerned that the film made light of a serious condition that can potentially be lethal and that the depiction of the use of an EpiPen was incorrect,” they explained.

“The BBFC does not require medical procedures in films to be portrayed accurately. However, this issue is highlighted in the extended content advice on our website to ensure audiences are informed in advance.”

It should be pointed out that the BBFC received a total of 11 complaints about The Roses, with Marvel’s Thunderbolts* sparking five complaints, as did the latest Knives Out movie Wake Up Dead Man.

A total of 10 complaints were made to the BBFC about the animated fantasy film Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba Infinity Castle, from those who felt its 15 rating was too severe, while the 18-rated horror film The Black Phone 2 incited nine complaints for similar reasons.

Meanwhile, a PG-rated trailer for Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney’s The Housemaid was the source of 25 additional complaints.

The Natasha Allergy Research Foundation previously revealed it had already spoken with producers of The Roses over the scene in question, as well as the depiction of food allergies more generally in the film.

“Withholding life-saving medication in a medical emergency is not remotely funny. To make matters worse, the film depicts an adrenaline auto-injector (EpiPen, Jext) being administered incorrectly, repeatedly. This is factually inaccurate and risks spreading dangerous misinformation,” they said at the time.

“For people living with severe food allergies and their families this type of portrayal is not only triggering, but harmful. Food allergies are a medical condition that can, in an instant, become life-threatening.

“Using them as a plot twist for laughs is careless, offensive, and reinforces harmful myths about allergic reactions and anaphylaxis.”

HuffPost UK contacted representatives for The Roses for comment at the time but did not receive a response.

Davina McCall has claimed she offered her services as a presenter when Big Brother was first rebooted by ITV, but to no avail.

The British presenter is probably best known for fronting Big Brother during its original 11-year run on Channel 4, after which it aired on Channel 5 with Brian Dowling and Emma Willis taking over as its hosts, when Davina made the choice not to return.

More recently, the long-running reality show was revived by ITV, where AJ Odudu and Will Best are its current co-hosts.

However, during an interview on the podcast Business Growth Secrets, Davina confessed she’d initially approached ITV bosses about reprising her role as host.

“I’ve got a secret to tell you actually,” she recalled. “When they started Big Brother on ITV, I put myself forward to present it. And they went with new presenters.”

Even then, she claimed she’d told them: “Look, can I please just be pre-titles, and just go ‘fancy another one?’. But they didn’t want me to do that, and I was like, ‘fuck’.”

HuffPost UK has contacted ITV for comment.

During an appearance on The Chris Moyles Show back in 2023, Davina opened up about why she wasn’t back to present the Big Brother revival.

“I think they wanted to go fresh. New start, fresh start, younger,” she claimed. “I do understand and I think it’s quite a good idea.

“Of course I would have done it, I’m being really honest now. But in retrospect, I don’t think it would have been the right fit for me.

“It’s nostalgic for me. It’s come a long way since I hosted it and I am a different person.”

AJ Odudu and Will Best will be back to present a third season of Big Brother in its ITV era later this year.

Rice is delicious. For some, it’s also a bit of a health worry.

You might already know that rice takes up arsenic – a naturally-occurring, toxic chemic element – from the environment.

While it’s impossible to get rid of this completely from our food, we know that consuming a lot of it can be harmful to health.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) claims long-term exposure to arsenic from drinking water and food can cause cancer and skin lesions. It’s also been linked to heart disease and diabetes.

The BBC previously reported that rice “has around 10-20 times more arsenic than other cereal crops”.

Separately, researchers have also previously highlighted how brown rice (which is often touted as ‘healthier’) contains more arsenic and other pesticide contaminants than white rice.

Bearing all of the above in mind, having a solid preparation method for your rice is important.

Over the years I’ve tried rinsing rice under a running tap (although it turns out this doesn’t do much to remove arsenic). I’ve also tried soaking it in a bowl of water, swirling it about and discarding the water (repeating four or five times) until the water’s pretty much clear.

But according to University of Sheffield researchers, there’s a much more effective way of lowering arsenic levels in your rice.

A 2020 study, published in Science of the Total Environment, suggested cooking rice in a certain way removes over 50% of the naturally occurring arsenic in brown rice, and 74% of it in white rice. Yet it didn’t reduce micronutrient levels.

The PBA method involves parboiling the rice in pre-boiled water for five minutes before draining it and topping up with fresh water, then cooking it on a lower heat to absorb all the water.

Dr Manoj Menon, the study’s lead author, said at the time it’s especially useful for parents who want to prepare rice for babies and children who are “highly vulnerable” to arsenic exposure risks.

According to the European Food Safety Authority, children are up to three times more susceptible to arsenic risks than adults due to their smaller size.

It’s for this reason that rice milk isn’t recommended for young children under five.

Yet previous research from the University of Sheffield also found more than half of rice varieties sold in the UK contained levels of arsenic higher than regulations allowed for babies and children under five.

At the time, they called for labelling to warn the public about levels of arsenic in shop-bought rice.

Cara Delevingne has spoken for the first time about rumours of a romance between herself and Amber Heard.

The British model’s name was previously mentioned during Amber’s now-infamous defamation trial back in 2022, where it was alleged that the two had an affair while the Aquaman star was still married to her ex-husband Johnny Depp.

As part of a wide-ranging interview on Louis Theroux’s podcast, the host asked Cara directly about “the Johnny Depp thing”, specifically bringing up the suggestion that the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor “was driven crazy by the idea that Amber might be sleeping with you”.

“Am I meant to comment?” the American Horror Story performer responded, before clarifying that she and Amber first crossed paths when they “did a movie together”, referring to 2018’s London Fields.

“He was also doing the movie,” she pointed out, alluding to Johnny’s brief cameo in London Fields. “I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy.”

Cara then insisted that “nothing was happening at that point”, although things between herself and Amber did take a romantic turn “after they divorced”.

“We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose,” she continued. “But she was also entangled with other people.”

Louis then mentioned Tesla founder Elon Musk, who also previously dated Amber.

“There you go,” Cara responded.

Amber Heard and Johnny Depp were married for two years before divorcing in 2017.

In the years that followed, they were embroiled in numerous court battles, and since their high-profile defamation trial came to an end in 2022, Amber has begun a new life in Madrid, Spain.

Last year, she announced that she had given birth to twins, having previously welcomed her first child, a daughter, via a surrogate in April 2021.

Earlier this month, budget airline Ryanair made a change to how they charge parents travelling with their children.

Following the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA)’s investigation into their former policy, which saw parents pay a fee to sit next to their children, the company has “reluctantly” tweaked their rules.

Prior to the adjustment, Ryanair required parents flying with children aged two to 11 to pay for one reserved “mandatory family seat”. Up to four children could then sit by them for free.

As of the 25 July, 2026, Ryanair said, adults will be offered seats next to their kids “free of charge”, though they suggested these will probably be at the rear of the plane “as front rows tend to be reserved and sell out first”.

“This minor policy tweak will align Ryanair’s family seating policy with that of most other EU airlines, which responds to the desire of Europe’s regulators to stifle innovation and progress,” they added.

As you might be able to guess from that comment, the airline said they were “reluctant” to adopt the change.

The airline’s controversial CEO, Michael O’Leary, said consumer watchdog the CMA “is on a mission to force Ryanair to adopt the less transparent and less consumer-friendly family seating policy applied by most other airlines – just because it’s the industry standard.

“We will reluctantly adjust to this industry standard as we don’t want to waste time explaining to misguided regulators how badly they misunderstand what is in the best interest of UK and Europe’s consumers,” he added.

O’Leary also said that after the rule change, “families may have to wait until after they have checked in to find out their seat allocation and are more likely to be seated at the rear of the cabin”.

A CMA spokesperson told the BBC, “Ryanair claims its seating policy now complies with the law, and we’ll test that thoroughly. If true, it’s a win for families – who will no longer have to pay to sit with their children…

“But it doesn’t change the fact families have been paying for ‘mandatory family seats’. Our investigation remains ongoing.”

Helen Skelton is shutting down rumours that she and her Morning Live co-host Gethin Jones are more than just colleagues.

Last year, the BBC pair found themselves at the centre of rumours that they were secretly dating, after it was reported by The Sun they’d been spotted spending time together away from the TV studio.

During a new interview with The Times, the former Strictly Come Dancing star addressed the “wild” speculation head-on.

“We’re not,” she insisted, when asked if she and Gethin were an item. “We work together; he’s one of my best friends.”

Helen also revealed that, despite there being nothing going on between herself and her co-presenter, even some key people in her life have been taken in by the tabloid rumours.

“I’ve had my best friend congratulate me on our engagement,” she noted, before reiterating there’s nothing romantic going on between herself and Gethin.

Earlier this year, Helen told The Mirror: “[Gethin and I] just work together, we are not together. No, no, no. We are just work friends.

“They printed pictures of us at work and [claimed] that we’re together [but we were] at work together.”

Gethin previously told The Sun: “We are very supportive of each other, we like to look out for each other. I think that’s fair to say on and off camera.

“You sometimes could get… you might need a little pep talk every now and then. Because she’s very passionate.”

Helen was previously married to former rugby pro Richie Myler, with whom she shares three children, for nine years.

In April 2022, the Countryfile host announced that she and Richie had parted ways, telling her Instagram followers at the time: “Very sad to say that Richie and I are no longer a couple. He has left the family home. We will be doing our best to co-parent our small children.”

Helen later wrote in her memoir that the break-up had come as a huge “shock”, claiming: “I know that following break-ups, people often say they didn’t see it coming and it sounds like a cliché, but that was me.”

Months after the split, Helen confirmed she was set to take part in Strictly Come Dancing, telling HuffPost UK at the time she’d signed up for the show to bring some “joy” and “fun” back into her life.

Former child actor Daveigh Chase died as a result of AIDS, the Los Angeles County Medical Examiner has said.

Daveigh was best known for her voice work in projects like Disney’s Lilo & Stitch and the English dub of Studio Ghibli’s Spirited Away, as well as on-screen performances in the horror film The Ring and the psychological thriller Donnie Darko.

Earlier this month, it was confirmed that she had died at the age of 35, with AIDS having been named as her cause of death this week.

The coroner also listed “chronic polysubstance use” – the use of multiple drugs – as an “other significant condition” that contributed to Daveigh’s death.

It had previously been reported that Daveigh had died as a result of complications from bacterial meningitis and sepsis.

Daveigh’s father told NBC News that Daveigh, who retired from acting just over a decade ago, had been homeless and living near the Los Angeles hospital where she was admitted and later died.

He claimed she had also been suffering from severe malnutrition when she was admitted to hospital.

In a statement to BBC News shortly after her death, the late actor’s manager remembered Daveigh as “the greatest”.

“She was not very Hollywood,” he recalled. “She’d rather eat at Bob’s Big Boy and go home with the cats. She loved acting but wasn’t into the fame scene.”

Daveigh’s career began with a string of roles in shows like Sabrina The Teenage Witch, Charmed and ER in her younger years, before she was cast as Jake Gyllenhaal’s on-screen sister in Donnie Darko. Her character subsequently landed her own straight-to-video spin-off sequel, titled S Darko.

She also played Samara in The Ring, reprising the role in a 2005 sequel, The Ring and later portrayed Rhonda Volmer in the US drama Big Love, sharing the screen with the likes of Bill Paxton, Chloë Sevigny and Amanda Seyfried.

Her final on-screen work was in the indie horror Jack Goes Home and the thriller American Romance, after which she took a step back from her acting career.
