SH0CKING REVELATION – Naga Munchetty’s Failed Escape: Tried to Leave the BBC for Sky News but Was Rejected in Under 5 Minutes for a Sh0cking Reason?

NAGA Munchetty has “had talks with Sky News” but her “difficult reputation” ruined her chances of leaving the BBC, insiders claimed.

It comes amid the Sun’s exposé on toxicity at the morning show, with editor Richard Frediani on leave amid bullying claims.

Naga, 50, has also come under fire and was rapped for allegedly bullying a junior staffer on BBC Breakfast last year.

She is also said to have made a crude quip about a s3x act in an off-air break on Radio 5 Live in 2022.

Now industry insiders have claimed Naga had been in talks with Sky News and radio station LBC in an attempt to ditch the Beeb.

Sources alleged discussions were quickly scrapped because network bosses were weary of the presenter’s “tough” persona.

“There were quite a few discussions with both Sky and LBC but then it was decided by both that they wouldn’t go any further,” an insider told the Mail.

“She is quite sharp and it is perhaps not what they were looking for, so it all kind of fell apart.

“Rightly or wrongly, Naga has a reputation for being quite tough and difficult at times – they didn’t like that.”

This comes as Naga – now at the centre of a BBC Breakfast toxicity row – has been rapped for two incidents in three years.

Yesterday the presenter opened up and said she hates bullies in a new interview.

She said: “I was no angel but I hated seeing people bullied.

BBC star Naga Munchetty hauled in by bosses over allegations she BULLIED a junior staffer and ‘made an off-air s3x jibe’
“I remember there were a couple of kids in school who were bullied and I just hated it.

“So I’d always kind of be that person who would speak to everyone.”

Earlier this week, The Sun exclusively reported how things were not all rosy on the show’s iconic red sofa.

We told how anchor Naga had been hauled in by show bosses amid allegations she bullied a junior staffer.

Naga was also hauled in over a s3x jibe made at Radio 5 Live where she is said to have used a crude slang term for a s3x act during an off-air break — before asking a colleague if they had done it.

The alleged remark stunned the Radio 5 Live studio and led to Naga being hauled before bosses.

She was reprimanded by a senior producer but no formal action was taken.

The comment became widely known at 5 Live, with one source describing the 2022 incident as: “Crss, inappropriate and w1ldly unpr0f3ssional. The person felt 3mb@rrass3d.”

We can also reveal that on BBC Breakfast last year, she was rapped for the alleged bullying of a woman, who was the most junior staffer.

As part of the bullying behaviour, the star is said to have f@lsely accused her of st3aling, which led to a closed-door showdown.

The source said: “It was humiliating. There was no evidence, no apology. The woman left not long after, completely demoralised.”

Another insider added: “That wasn’t an isolated incident. It really is the tip of the iceberg.”

Naga is the first female presenter to be caught up in the series of scandals which have gripped the BBC.

Strictly’s Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima had to leave over bullying claims, and Wynne Evans quit the live tour over the word “sp1troast”, which can be a s3xual reference.

But the broadcaster is now facing questions of double standards.

A Breakfast insider said: “If a male presenter made a s3xual comment like that or f@lsely accused someone of theft, he’d be out the door. But with Naga, it gets brushed off.”

A BBC spokesperson said: “While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously.”

Breakfast is already in turmoil amid claims of a “deeply divided workplace” and off-air tensions between Naga and co-host Charlie Stayt.

The flagship show’s editor Richard Frediani is also at the centre of a formal bullying investigation.

 

It was confirmed the BBC was conducting an internal review into his behaviour and general allegations of toxicity on the show.

An internal email was sent to the BBC Breakfast team thanking them for their “professionalism” as they continue their work amid the row.

Who are the current presenters of BBC Breakfast?

The flagship BBC show has had dozens of presenters during its impressive 40 years on air but the current stars are:

Jon Kay – Since 2022

Sally Nugent – Since 2021

Charlie Stayt – Since 2006

Naga Munchetty – Since 2014

Carol Kirkwood – Since 1997

“BRUTAL” – Loose Women’s Nadia Sawalha Speaks Out as UK Media Reacts to ITV’s Sh0cking Move: Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women to be Filmed in Former Hospital Basement!

ITV Daytime has found a budget new home after it was savaged by cuts.

The department is ditching its swanky West London HQ White City in favour of the basement of a former hospital.

The Sun can reveal bosses have landed a deal with Covent Garden venue The Hospital Club – which closed in 2020 due to the pandemic.

Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will all be filmed in the venue’s basement of the four story building.

A source said: “ITV are on a major budget saving mission and have landed a new deal to film ITV Daytime at what was The Hospital Club.

“It’s quite apt really as I’m sure they hope the move to the former hospital will breathe some life into their programme budgets.

“All three of their main shows, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women will be based there… in the basement where there’s a state of the art studio.”

“The changes are needed to keep up with the ever evolving world of TV but it’s a far cry from the plush life stars have become accustomed to at White City.”

An ITV source said: “We have always said that when the changes to our daytime schedule take place in 2026 that these programmes will find a new home. The new studio is not yet confirmed and when it is we will obviously communicate that news to our staff first”

Speaking about the cuts last month, Loose Woman Nadia Sawalha called the shake up “brutal”.

She said on her YouTube channel: “What’s been brutal, absolutely brutal, over the last week, honestly I feel tearful about it, is that hundreds of people… are going to be made redundant out of the blue, these are all the people behind the scenes that support us in every way.”

The shake up comes as streaming officially overtook cable and broadcast TV use in May.

Some 44.8 percent of TV viewership was through the newer media platforms.

It compares with 20.1 percent watching terrestrial TV — known as broadcast — and 24.1 percent tuning in to cable such as Sky.

It is the first time streamers have surpassed the combined total of their rival categories.

LOL – Not Long Ago – Sam Thompson was M0cked for ‘DRY CRYING’ – Now He’s Roasting Love Island’s Harry Cooksley, and the Internet is Exploding: Oscar for Sam or Harry?

SAM Thompson had little sympathy for Love Island’s Harry on Aftersun after watching him break down in tears.

On Sunday night’s recap show, the former Made In Chelsea star watched a teaser clip of tonight’s episode, showing Harry Cooksley crying over his predicament with the girls.

The gang did not hold back as they shared their thoughtsCredit: Shutterstock Editorial
Over the course of the last week, Harry has been seen fighting for the affection of multiple girls – coupling up with Helena, before secretly snogging bombshell Yasmin in the Hideaway, and then trying to win back Shakira, whom he had a connection with at the beginning of the show.

However, it’s become clear it won’t be that easy, with Shakira bluntly telling him he’ll need a “personality transplant” if she were to consider getting back with him.

Speaking with Dejon by the firepit about his predicament, his pal tried to offer him words of comfort, but admitted he felt Harry had a bigger connection with Helena.

A red-eyed Harry then admitted: “I just have, like, nothing, do you know what I mean? It’s just like, one minute we’re good and then it’s just like she can’t even be around me.

“It’s like.. it’s just weird, man. I will never be the same now, after the way I’ve acted.”

But Sam wasn’t buying it, telling host Maya: “I’m a skeptic, so I think that he’s laying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, going, ‘I’m gonna look terrible, I need to cry!’”

When asked if he thought they were crocodile tears, Sam hesitated before saying: “I don’t know if they’re crocodile, but I feel like it’s more panic about how he’s looking than how he feels about the girl in question.”

After airing the clip, Maya Jama asked Harry’s mum Julia how she felt about seeing her son, who declared it was “good” he finally seemed to be feeling bad about his actions.

Amy Hart had a slightly more empathetic take, believing that the pressure of the villa was beginning to get to the islander.

“I think it’s like a release,” she explained to the group. The villa is such a pressure cooker, and there’s so much going on, and normally you’d go out with your mates, like go to the pub or whatever, or go out for a run or something.

“But you can’t do any of that. So I think that’s just how it came out.”

The full scenes and what led up to Harry’s emotional moment will be aired on tonight’s show, with the footballer finding himself in a rut with Helena.

Viewers previously begged Helena, 29, to stop being a “doormat” and dump Harry, 30, for good after he finally admitted to snogging Yasmin in the Hideaway.

Their actions were exposed in a brutal firepit game on Thursday night, despite them both initially denying it.

His confession prompted the blonde beauty to storm off – before her villa pal Megan Forte Clarke, 24, unleashed a sweary rant.

Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2.

HOW Serious Is Tyrese Haliburton’s Injury? Pacers Suffer a Double Blow!

Understandably, the most enduring images surrounding the 2025 NBA Finals won’t feature the Oklahoma City Thunder embracing each other, hoisting the Larry O’Brien trophy or even struggling to pop champagne bottles.

Instead, the Thunder’s 103-91 win over the Indiana Pacers on Sunday in Game 7 of the 2025 NBA Finals will mostly center on heart-wrenching moments. These episodes do not signify well-fought victory. They capture heart-wrenching defeat.

The first memory: Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton pounded his right fist on the hardwood repeatedly after reinjuring his right calf with 4:55 left in the first quarter. The second memory: Haliburton stood in a hallway on crutches after the loss and hugged his coaches and teammates individually as they walked past him.

“He could have been in the locker room feeling sorry for himself after something like that happened, but he wasn’t. He was up greeting us,” Pacers guard T.J. McConnell told reporters. “A lot of us were hurting from the loss, and he was up there consoling us. That’s who Tyrese Haliburton is. He’s just the greatest, man.”

These sobering developments may exacerbate the pain the Pacers already felt for failing to win their first NBA title in franchise history after appearing in their first NBA Finals in 25 years. This incident also raises concerns about Haliburton’s availability for the 2025-26 season considering he may have injured his right Achilles tendon.

Nonetheless, Haliburton’s injury should not soil the other dominant themes in this compelling NBA Finals.

The Pacers, seeded fifth in the Eastern Conference still should feel proud for challenging the West’s top seed to seven games. Haliburton, who had nine points on 3-for-5 shooting before his injury, should feel validated for setting a franchise record for most postseason assists (197), for competing through injuries and for making four game-winning shots in the playoffs. Bennedict Mathurin (24 points), Pascal Siakam (16), McConnell (16) and Andrew Nembhard (15) should receive kudos for forming a reliable supporting cast. Pacers coach Rick Carlisle should receive credit for maximizing this roster by empowering his team to run their own plays, by trusting Haliburton with the offense and by encouraging them to compete at a fast pace.

“I told these guys coming into this that there’s no feel-good scenario when you get to the Finals and are unable to get it done,” Carlisle told reporters. “It really hurts on the one hand. On the other hand, this team has given all of Pacer Nation something to be very proud of.”

The Thunder still should feel they earned their first NBA title since the franchise moved to Oklahoma City in 2008. Shai Gilgeous-Alexander deserves Finals MVP, with his 29 points and playoff career-high 12 assists capturing how he has refined his scoring and improved his playmaking. Thunder general manager Sam Presti deserves praise for acquiring Gilgeous-Alexander from the Los Angeles Clippers for Paul George in 2019 as well as for drafting Jalen Williams, Chet Holmgren and Lu Dort. Williams (20 points), Holmgren (18), Alex Caruso (10) and Cason Wallace (10) deserve kudos for relieving Gilgeous-Alexander’s workload. Thunder coach Mark Daigneault deserves credit for overcoming some Finals hiccups with his rotations and for how he and his coaching staff have developed players.

“So much weight off my shoulders. So much stress relieved,” Gilgeous-Alexander told reporters. “No matter what, you go into every night wanting to win. Sometimes it just doesn’t go your way. Tonight could have been one of those nights where we found a way. I’m so proud of this group. I wouldn’t want to do it with any other group in the world.”

Even with putting the Thunder’s and Pacers’ season in proper context, it seems understandable if the Pacers struggle to reconcile with two questions this offseason and possibly beyond.

First question: Could the Pacers have won the 2025 NBA title had Haliburton stayed healthy for the remainder of Game 7? Haliburton made three of his four 3-point attempts and appeared poised for a signature performance. Even after Haliburton left the game, the Pacers held a 48-47 halftime lead by relying on their stellar supporting cast and hustle. The Thunder tilted the game in the third quarter, outscoring Indiana by 14 in the period. But could the Pacers have absorbed Oklahoma City’s depth and adjustments with Haliburton by their side?

“Every time we were out there and the game felt like it was getting away, we kept battling because we wanted to make Indiana proud and we wanted to make our fans proud,” Siakam told reporters. “We tried our best. But at the end of the day, you win some, you lose some, and we’ve just got to be strong and keep going. I told everyone, I love every single one of these guys, and I wouldn’t do it with anybody else.”

Second question: Will Haliburton miss the entire 2025-26 season? Haliburton didn’t speak to the media after Game 7, and Carlisle declined to speak about the injury. The Pacers will have more clarity soon on the severity of Haliburton’s injury. But Haliburton’s father, John, already told ESPN that the family fears Tyrese injured his right Achilles tendon. Typically, it takes a player about 10 to 12 months to return from such an injury. Though the 25-year-old Haliburton may still mirror his All-Star caliber play once he returns, uncertainty awaits about what that process will look like.

“All of our hearts dropped, but he will be back,” Carlisle told reporters. “I don’t have any medical information about what may or may not have happened, but he’ll be back in time. And I believe he’ll make a full recovery.”

It seems foolish to blame Haliburton’s injury on anyone. The Pacers’ training staff cleared Haliburton after seeing significant improvement in Game 6 after a sluggish Game 5 performance. Carlisle pledged to monitor Haliburton closely for any signs of discomfort. Haliburton promised he would stay honest with Carlisle about how his body feels. Haliburton simply made an awkward twist on a non-contact play.

The Pacers will have all of this summer to receive clarity on Haliburton’s health. Meanwhile, they should take pride in what they accomplished this season. They didn’t just advance to the NBA Finals because their Eastern Conference opponents nursed various injuries. The Pacers arrived on their own merits. Before Game 7, video circulated of the Thunder already having painted buses for their championship parade. That wasn’t inevitable, though. Indiana challenged OKC through the entire series.

“Just a tremendous amount of gratitude for the character, the skill, how together they were, how hard they continue to fight no matter what,” Carlisle told reporters. “You don’t author comebacks like this team did, really, over the course of the entire season without just an indomitable competitive spirit to fight together.”

Regardless of Haliburton’s availability or limitations, the Thunder still showed they had enough to prevail. After spending the past five years collecting assets and developing players, OKC blended its talent, continuity and youth together to form a mature group capable of winning high-stakes playoff games. Therefore, the Thunder earned this moment.

OKC showed its youth when the team initially struggled to pop champagne bottles together in the locker room. Caruso, who also won the 2020 NBA title with the Los Angeles Lakers in the campus bubble during the COVID-19 pandemic, instructed his teammates. That’s OK. Though the NBA has not featured a repeat champion since 2018, the Thunder certainly could experience this elation next season again.

“It was a good first try. We’ll get some rest, reset and try to go again next year and see if we can do it again,” Caruso told reporters. “We’ll be better next year.”

Bitter Game 7: Was Haliburton’s Injury the Turning Point That Caused the Pacers to Fall to the Thunder?

The Indiana Pacers’ hopes for their first NBA title took a brutal hit just minutes into Game 7 of the NBA Finals against the Oklahoma City Thunder . But Pascal Siakam’s words show there are positives to take.

Tyrese Haliburton, the team’s emotional and tactical leader, suffered a non-contact injury early in the first quarter. The diagnosis – later confirmed by his father – was a torn Achilles, ending his season and silencing the Indiana crowd.

A subtle celebration for OKC Thunder after winning its first NBA championship in franchise history

Haliburton had been dealing with a right calf strain that kept him out of Game 5. In his heroic return in Game 6, he poured in 14 points and dished out five assists in just 23 minutes, energizing the Pacers and forcing a deciding seventh game.

But the elation quickly turned to horror as Haliburton collapsed onto the floor on a routine play, clutching his lower right leg.

At that point, the Pacers were up 48-47 at halftime. However, the Thunder seized control in the second half, capitalizing on Indiana’s visible emotional deflation to capture the NBA title. Haliburton’s early exit had a seismic impact on the flow and confidence of the team.

Pascal Siakam’s leadership shines through

While the Pacers struggled to process the sudden loss of their point guard, PascalSiakam emerged as a voice of calm and strength. In the locker room during halftime, the veteran forward reportedly turned to his teammates and said, “We’re still in this.”

That short, powerful statement became the emotional rallying point for Indiana. Siakam, a former champion with the Toronto Raptors, brought not only his production on the court but also invaluable leadership off of it. His message was simple but deeply resonant-this team still had fight, and there was still a game to win.

Teammate Myles Turner reinforced the sentiment in a postgame interview. “It’s a heartbreak, man… but we’ve got his back… Next man on the touted list.” Turner’s remarks echoed Siakam’s attitude, shifting the team’s energy from heartbreak to resilience.

Siakam not only delivered that message behind the scenes-he backed it up on the court, taking on more offensive responsibility and helping guide a shaken roster through the remainder of the contest. Though the Pacers ultimately came up short, Siakam’s efforts stood out.

A defining moment in a season of growth

This Finals loss, while painful, marks a significant chapter in Indiana’s resurgence. Behind Haliburton’s leadership and Siakam’s postseason poise, the Pacers had returned to relevance in a loaded Eastern Conference

The sudden injury to Haliburton – a rising star in the league – was a cruel twist of fate. But the way the team, especially Siakam, responded reflected growth and maturity far beyond the scoreboard.

“We’re still in this” became more than a halftime battle cry. It symbolized the grit of a team learning to believe in itself regardless of adversity. Haliburton’s injury may have ended the Pacers’ title run this year, but with Siakam’s leadership and the team’s newfound playoff experience, the foundation has been set for a promising future.

As Haliburton begins what will undoubtedly be a grueling recovery process, he can take solace in knowing that his teammates didn’t fold. Instead, they stood tall – led by a veteran who reminded everyone that in basketball, as in life, perseverance sometimes matters more than the final result.

HEARTFELT and TOUCHING – WNBA Star Caitlin Clark of the Indiana Fever Sends a Message of Support and Prayer to Tyrese Haliburton!

As Caitlin Clark continues to lead the Indiana Fever through her second season in the WNBA, another Hoosier State star was making waves in the NBA.

Tyrese Haliburton, the engine behind the Indiana Pacers‘ incredible postseason run, helped guide his team to their first NBA Finals appearance in over two decades. But a devastating leg injury in Game 7 cut his night short, and with it, the Pacers‘ championship hopes came to an abrupt and painful end.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander leads OKC Thunder to its first NBA championship

In the wake of the loss, Clark showed solidarity with her fellow Indiana icon. The WNBA All-Star took to social media with a photo of Haliburton shared by the Pacers, adding four red heart emojis and four prayer hands emojis, a clear message of emotional support during what has to be a crushing time for the Pacers’ All-NBA guard.

Two Indiana stars

Clark has spent the first two seasons of her professional career turning the Indiana Fever into must-watch basketball. Her arrival last year brought record-setting crowds, spiking jersey sales, and a new wave of national attention for the Fever. With a scoring average of 19.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, and 8.7 assists per game, she’s helping reshape what it means to be a young superstar in the WNBA.

And now, Clark seems to be embracing becoming a unifying force for basketball in Indiana as a whole, not just her own league.

By publicly backing Haliburton, who carried the Pacers through playoff wins over the Milwaukee Bucks, Cleveland Cavaliers, and New York Knicks, Clark reminded fans that Indiana’s hoops heroes are part of a larger sports ecosystem.

While the Pacers ultimately fell short to the Oklahoma City Thunder, the city of Indianapolis was alive with playoff energy. Haliburton’s 18.6 points, 9.2 assists, and trademark poise helped put the Pacers back on the NBA map.

Unfortunately, his Game 7 exit due to injury changed the tempo and cost Indiana a shot at its first-ever NBA championship.

Fans were quick to praise Clark‘s gesture.

“Caitlin’s got that Indiana spirit. Real recognize real,” one wrote on X.

Another added: “Legends support legends. Heal up, Tyrese.”

“Clark and Haliburton are the best things to happen to Indiana sports in years,” a third noted.

The extent of Haliburton‘s injury has yet to be publicly revealed, but reports suggest it may be serious enough to require significant recovery time. Still, the NBA community has universally praised his postseason performance and leadership, with Clark now adding her voice to that chorus.

Why Jessica Tarlov Is Considered Fox News’ Most Unique Female Host?

While much of Fox News host Jessica Tarlov’s life is public-facing, her marriage to Brian McKenna is something she keeps out of the limelight.

After connecting during the CVD-19 pandemic, Tarlov and McKenna married in 2021 and welcomed their first child, Cleo Markie, shortly after. Three years later, the couple grew their family with the addition of their second daughter, Teddy.

Since then, The Five cohost has called McKenna, who is a hedge fund executive, an “incredible husband,” along with sharing brief glimpses into their family life on X (formerly Twitter).

So, who is Jessica Tarlov’s husband? Here’s everything to know about Brian McKenna and his relationship with the Fox News host.

Tarlov and McKenna were next-door neighbors during the CVD-19 pandemic and connected romantically during the resulting lockdown.

On April 9, 2021, Tarlov announced their engagement on the Kennedy program on the Fox Business Network. Just a few weeks later, the pair were officially married.

Tarlov’s friend, fellow Fox News commentator Guy Benson, shared a photo of Tarlov and McKenna’s wedding on X, congratulating the duo. Tarlov responded, “Chief romance correspondent reporting for marriage duty 😉 Thank you, Guy!”

Later that year, the couple welcomed their first child.

Tarlov and McKenna welcomed their first daughter, Cleo Markie McKenna, on Dec. 11, 2021. Dana Perino, who works with Tarlov on Fox News’ The Five, announced the birth, relaying that Cleo was “the tallest baby born at Mount Sinai that day.” She added, “Brian and Jessica, they’re certainly overjoyed.”

Tarlov and McKenna welcomed their second daughter, Teddy Tarlov McKenna, on April 11, 2024. Perino announced the birth of the couple’s second daughter on Fox News again. Perino sent well wishes Tarlov’s way, saying, ”Congratulations to you. Enjoy your time with your baby. We can’t wait to meet her and then to have you back.”

McKenna celebrated his first Father’s Day as a dad in June 2022

While the couple are known to be private, for McKenna’s first Father’s Day, Tarlov posted a photo of Cleo on X.

“First Father’s Day for my incredible husband and my first without my Dad. The circle of life is really something!” Tarlov wrote, referencing the death of her father, Mark Tarlov. The late film producer died in July 2021 while the political commentator was pregnant with Cleo, inspiring Tarvlov to give Cleo her middle name, Markie.

Tarlov continued her tribute, writing, “However you’re celebrating – and even if you’re not – have a great day 💗 (Brian hates pictures, Cleo more agreeable. She’s loves a good squishy ball).”

Tarlov and McKenna balance their careers and a private family life

Despite Tarlov’s public career, she and McKenna have managed to keep their relationship and family life quite private.

Aside from sharing occasional family photos on X, as well as birth announcements on Fox News, Tarlov and McKenna keep a low profile when it comes to their relationship and the lives of their children.

In April 2024, Tarlov wrote on X that she was going to enjoy her maternity leave with family: “Cleo hasn’t even seen Home Alone…having a baby sister must just have her in the ‘oh no!’ mood! We’re thrilled to add Teddy to the crew ❤️ Will be on maternity leave for next few months so to the haters and the losers, enjoy the break! I know I will with my girls 😘.”

Tarlov also shared with Carry about how she relaxes amid her busy schedule. “I watch TV. Way too much if you ask my husband. It’s the only way I can decompress,” she said.

“I thought I should share it because it helped me succeed” – Fox News viewers stunned by Jesse Watters’ Secret move to get close to Emma (now his wife)!

Jesse Watters recently remembered a very unconventional tactic that, he cracked, he once used to try and win his now-wife’s favor.

On an episode of his panel series The Five last week, the Fox News host, 43, said he once “let the air out of” now-wife Emma’s tires when he “was trying to get [her] to date” him.

“She couldn’t go anywhere. She needed a lift, I said, ‘Hey, you need a lift?’ She hopped right in the car,” said Watters in his story about how they got acquainted, drawing laughter and questions from the rest of the group.

The moment subsequently went viral on social media, drawing a range of reactions and criticism.

And while Emma, 29 — who worked with Watters at the time — didn’t know the story before her husband told it on air, “Now she does!” he told his colleagues on The Five.

Joked Greg Gutfeld, “You’re basically the Zodiac Killer.”

“It has a happy ending!” replied Watters, who wed Emma in December 2019. “We’re married!”

“Is that the first time you did it or did you use that before?” asked Jeanine Pirro.

“Works like a charm,” said Watters.

Watters was previously married to Noelle Inguagiato. They finalized their divorce in 2019, after 10 years of marriage, and share twin daughters.

He and Emma tied the knot in December 2019 and welcomed their now-1-year-old son, Jesse Jr., in April 2021.

“Married the love of my life one year ago today,” Emma captioned a gallery of wedding snapshots on their first anniversary. “And what a year it’s been.”

She added, “I love you forever @jessewatters and can’t wait for our next chapter – coming soon❤️❤️❤️❤️💙.”

“I felt guilty toward my children” – Fox News’ Tyrus reveals the Real Reason he left wrestling, moving fans to tears!

Now that wrestling champion George “Tyrus” Murdoch is out of the ring, he is focused on his family.

The WWE alum and his wife, Ingrid Murdoch, have one child together, a daughter named Georgie, whom they welcomed in 2014. Tyrus also has three children from previous relationships, two daughters and a son. He is also involved in the lives of Murdoch’s two older sons, Rhett and Rock.

In 2024, Tyrus shared on The Sage Steele Show that his three oldest children, all born in 2011, have three different mothers.

“The reality of having children in that way is that you need to figure it out real quick, and you need to make a decision as to where you’re gonna man up and take on this responsibility,” Tyrus said, adding, “Now, all my children’s bellies are always full, they all have roofs over their heads, they all can [do] any activity they want to do.”

In his 2023 book Nuff Said, Tyrus wrote that he keeps his life with his kids private, but he still believes in sharing his parenting values, the first of which is respect.

“Parenting is tough. We all know that. I always work hard to be the best dad I can be, but, of course, I fail sometimes,” he wrote. “We all do. But we try as hard as we can.”

Here’s everything to know about Tyrus’ children.

Tyrus and his wife welcomed their daughter in 2014

Tyrus and his wife, Ingrid, welcomed their daughter, Georgie Rose, on May 7, 2014.

She was named after her dad, a nod that Ingrid talked about in a 2024 Instagram tribute. “Who would have thought that the one that carries on the fathers [sic] name would be a daughter ❤️ #murdoch #georgiegirl,” she wrote.

Georgie was raised in her mom’s home state of Louisiana until the family moved to New Jersey in 2024.

Tyrus has three children from previous relationships, while his wife has two

In addition to Georgie, Ingrid has two children from a previous marriage, sons Rhett and Rock, while Tyrus has three children from three previous relationships.

Tyrus’ three oldest kids all turned 13 in 2024. His son, whom he calls Kakerot on Instagram, was born on Aug. 24, 2011, while his daughters were born in June and December of the same year.

The Fox News host usually likes to remain private about his children’s lives and shared on The Sage Steele Show that he doesn’t write about his kids in his books “because that’s a story for them to tell.”

While they joke about their similar ages now, Tyrus knows they may have “questions” and “angers” later on, which is when he’ll explain, “I didn’t have parenting, which is not an excuse, I made my own choices, but I didn’t have wisdom to fall back on and I was impulsive.”

The Nuff Said author said he regularly visits his children and has acknowledged that saying goodbye is difficult.

“Being a real father with no reference is one of the toughest challenges and greatest rewards,” he captioned a 2021 Instagram selfie with two of his older kids. “To all my fellow dads out there who don’t get to see your kids everyday. Dropping them off is the hardest thing in the world. I’m fighting back tears because I miss them all my children.”

They are athletic like their dad

Tyrus’ daughter Georgie began riding seriously with her horse, Roosevelt — nicknamed Teddy — in 2024.

“The biggest best part is her commitment to detail, determination, and dedication to her horse … as a father couldn’t be prouder and also sad my lil baby girl is growing up to be a strong young woman!!!! So proud so proud !!!!” Tyrus wrote on Instagram in August of that year.

Georgie took part in her first competition in June and won. In her first show jumping with Teddy in Vermont a few weeks later, she came in second, “which made her furious,” as Tyrus said on The Sage Steele Show.

She also plays soccer and was sidelined with a broken radius in October 2024. Ingrid shared on Instagram, though, that Georgie still “#finishedthegame.”

The sporty gene was passed down to Tyrus’ other children as well. His son plays travel baseball and Tyrus has also shared photos of an outing with one of his daughters and his son at Top Golf Orlando.

They help raise the family’s farm animals

The Murdoch family relocated to a farm in northern New Jersey in the spring of 2024, and the whole crew helps raise the family’s pets on what Tyrus playfully refers to as “Tyrus-zilla Zoo.”

Before the move, Ingrid enlisted her kids to help raise the animals, which include exotic fish, turtles, snakes, lizards and chameleons. She told Fox News in 2023 that Georgie bathed and played with the animals, while Rhett did the “heavy lifting” and “dirty work,” and Rhett’s girlfriend, Julia, helped keep the tanks and cages clean.

Animals were also a big part of the family’s life when they lived in Louisiana. For Halloween 2023, Georgie set up a “spooky petting zoo” at their home in Mandeville, which Ingrid wrote on Instagram “was a success.”

They’ve joined their dad for events

Tyrus is a Fox News commentator and touring stand-up comedian, and he doesn’t shy away from bringing his kids to the office — wherever that may be.

Tyrus has also shared on-set photos with his family, including Ingrid and Georgie visiting him in 2022 and two of his older kids testing out mics in 2021.

At home, however, Tyrus has a rule that he puts his “dad hat” on.

“Tyrus is not available [at home]. So, that’s our deal,” he shared on The Sage Steele Show. “When I’m Tyrus-ing, they [don’t care]. But when I’m with them, it’s supposed to be all about them.”

Tyrus retired from wrestling to be more present in his children’s lives

The Massachusetts-born wrestler didn’t reduce his schedule and ultimately retire in 2023 because there was something wrong physically — in fact, he was “having fun and feeling great” — but because he was missing games and horseback riding events.

“I went to my children and I said, ‘Is it better for me to be at the games or do you want Dad to still wrestle and the belt and you guys go to the shows and all that stuff?’ And my kids looked me dead in the face and said, ‘No, we want you at the games,’ ” he recalled on The Sage Steele Show.

Tyrus has said he’ll always “be there” for his children

During a 2024 appearance on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Tyrus joined a panel discussing children and puberty blockers in the United Kingdom.

After Tyrus shared his views on the drug options, he also shared that one of his children is “in the LGBT community” and specifically is “trans.”

“As she’s growing [and going through therapy], we’ll see where she’s at and what she wants to do,” he said. “Whatever she wants at the end of the day, when she’s old enough to make that decision, I’ll be there with her. Or him. Or they. Or whatever my child wants to be.”

Tyrus is raising his kids to learn from their mistakes

When Steele asked Tyrus what makes him proudest as a dad, he said, “when my kids learn a lesson faster than I did,” sharing how his son handled losing a championship baseball game at age 12.

The political commentator added that his daughters “are just smarter than me” but joked he “could do without the sarcasm.”

Tyrus’ kids are also proud of their dad. In 2022, he shared a video of his son looking for his book Just Tyrus in a bookstore.

“I don’t get to see my kids everyday and they don’t get to see me but love between a father and his children… I’m so so so proud of him!!! Thank you Kakerot !” Tyrus captioned the Instagram video, which also showed his teary reaction to his son’s gesture.

“Mom, why do I have to wash my hands? Fox News’ Pete Hegseth says he hasn’t washed his hands in 10 years – Fox viewers sh0cked by the truth!

Fox & Friends host Pete Hegseth says he doesn’t wash his hands.

Hegseth, 38, made the shocking admission on Sunday’s episode, sending viewers into a frenzy.

“My 2019 resolution is to say things on air that I say off air,” Hegseth began. “I don’t think I’ve washed my hands for 10 years.”

“I don’t really wash my hands ever. I inoculate myself. Germs are just not a real thing. I can’t see them, therefore they are not real,” Hegseth added.

While his co-hosts couldn’t contain their laughter, viewers didn’t find the admission funny.

“Ewwww Pete Hegseth, stay the hell away from me,” one social media user tweeted.

“Is there a ten-year-old available to enlighten Hegseth on this subject?” another viewer wrote.

“I wonder if @PeteHegseth would be cool with restaurant workers preparing his food after deliberately not washing their hands?” a different social media user expressed.

However, a Fox News spokesperson confirmed to PEOPLE that Hegseth was only joking.

He also implied he was just goofing around when MSNBC correspondent Chris Hayes tweeted, “he’s…. pretty clearly joking?”

“When even @chrislhayes can see the obvious… Twitter really has come full circle,” Hegseth wrote on Twitter.

Hegseth further explained the joke during an interview with USA Today.

“We’re on a show and we have fun and we banter and I’m like, eh, ‘you know, maybe I haven’t washed my hands for 10 years,’” Hegseth told the outlet.

Hegseth went on to explain that his joke was also made to get people to lighten up.

“My half-hearted commentary to the point is, we live in a society where people walk around with bottles of Purell in their pockets, and they sanitize 19,000 times a day as if that’s going to save their life,” Hegseth told USA Today.

“I take care of myself and all that, but don’t obsess over everything all the time.”

As more backlash pours in Hegseth says he’s “sitting back and literally watching my [Twitter] feed and laughing.”

“It’s ridiculous to me because of how people take literal and serious things and their heads explode. It’s ridiculous,” Hegseth told USA Today.

Joke or not, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, washing your hands is vital in the prevention of illnesses and the spread of infections.

“People frequently touch their eyes, nose, and mouth without even realizing it. Germs can get into the body through the eyes, nose and mouth and make us sick,” the CDC says.

“Removing germs through hand washing therefore helps prevent diarrhea and respiratory infections and may even help prevent skin and eye infections.”
