    JO SAYS GO! Watch the moment furious JoJo Siwa kicks fan out of her gig for ‘making fun of her’

    A FURIOUS JoJo Siwa did not hold back when she kicked out a fan at her gig for “making fun of her”.

    The Celebrity Big Brother star, 22, is currently hitting venues around Ireland and the UK, as well as stops in France, Germany and Poland.

    JoJo, who is dating CBB co-star Chris Hughes, has been thrilling fans with her tour, but last night things took a turn.

    The American singer yelled at a fan for “making fun of her” during her gig and ordered security to boot them out.

    The Dance Moms star was on stage when it happened, and one TikTok user captured the moment and posted it online.

    Sharing the short clip, they wrote: “JoJo Siwa kicks someone out in Glasgow.”

    In the video, JoJo can be seen halting her Scottish gig and saying to one fan: “You’re not going to come to my concert and bring a hoodie making fun of me, no way! No way, man!

    “Thank you for coming, appreciate it! But we only got room for infinity hearts in here, right?”

    Kicking the fan out, she said: “Not in my house, baby. We got no room for that. We got no room for that!”

    It comes just a day after JoJo had a happier moment on stage, when boyfriend Chris joined her during the first gig of her tour in Dublin.

    The pair, who met on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year, performed a dance routine together, with fans erupting into cheers.

    Chris twirled the singer around before lifting her into the air as she wrapped her legs around his waist.

    The pair appeared to be recreating the dance they did in the Big Brother house earlier this year.

    It comes as JoJo insisted she is not straight amid her romance with Chris and questions surrounding her sexuality.

    The YouTuber has refused to put a label on her identity after falling for the former Love Island star inside the CBB house.

    Prior to entering the house, JoJo was loved up with non-binary influencer Kath Ebbs but ended their romance to pursue things with Chris.

    Now, she has given a candid insight into the negative reactions and “extreme amount of hate” for being currently “in a hetero relationship”.

    The dancer and singer opened up in a radio interview on Sirius XM’s Smith Sisters Live.

    JoJo said: “From the very, very, very beginning of our relationship. He said, ‘So you can be anything you want. I just love you. I don’t want you to change. I just love you.’

    “And I don’t know, I think we got to see on episode two of Big Brother, he was the only person in fact that stood up for me right away.

    “That shows who he is as a straight white male that shows the kind of person he is to stand up for the young 22-year-old queer person in the house.”

    JoJo appeared to be referring to when Chris defended her amid a homophobic remark from actor Mickey Rourke inside the house.

    “Who Does She Think She Is?” — Royal Fans All Make the SAME Complaint After Meghan Markle’s Shocking Statement… The Remark That’s Sparked OUTRAGE.k

    Royal fans believe Meghan Markle focused on ‘irrelevant’ brag during her tribute post for Dr Jane Goodall.

    Royal fans believe Meghan Markle focused on an “irrelevant” detail in her tribute post to Dr Jane Goodall. Dr Jane Goodall DBE, UN Messenger of Peace and founder of the Jane Goodall Institute, passed away on October 1.

    Tributes have been flooding in from celebrities, including Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. In their tribute post, they wrote: “Dr. Jane Goodall DBE was a visionary humanitarian, scientist, friend to the planet, and friend to us. Her commitment to changing lives extends beyond what the world saw, and also to what we personally felt. She held our son, Archie, when he was first born, and showered love and care to those who were privileged to know her. She will be deeply missed.”

    Fans are annoyed her humanitarian work was overlooked and instead the Sussexes placed detail on Dr Goodall “holding Archie”. One user on X wrote: “That’s what those 2 clowns decide to mention-an irrelevant humblebrag. That’s how important they think they are, and have to let us all think they were SUCH good friends that she held Archie.”

    Another user wrote: “Instead of celebrating Jane Goodall’s outstanding work, she has to point out ‘she was a friend to us’ as if that’s some great achievement. Who cares, she must’ve been friends with loads of people.”

    One X user said: “Such a tribute to a very close friend who held their son when he was born… ummm I’ve tried but couldn’t see her at their wedding could someone point her out please …”

    Another said: “Typical of them to make the passing of an accomplished lady about them!”

    The Sussexes welcomed Dame Jane to their then-home at Frogmore Cottage in 2019 where she cuddled their baby son Archie, then just five weeks old.

    The Prince of Wales has also said she inspired him personally and “her boundless curiosity, compassion and pioneering spirit transformed our understanding of the natural world”.

    Prince William said “the world has lost an extraordinary voice” in a post on X, adding: “she challenged us all to make a difference and inspired me and countless others to work to protect our planet. Jane Goodall made a difference.”

    Dr Goodall died of natural causes while in California on a speaking tour of the US, according to a statement from the Jane Goodall Institute.

    Many other public figures as well as global organisations have praised Dr Goodall’s legacy, including Sir David Attenborough.

    The BBC’s hit star-studded competition series, Strictly Come Dancing, will return to screens this weekend with its first elimination episode. Following its successful launch, viewers are eager to see the 15 celebrities compete against one another for the chance to lift the coveted Glitterball trophy. However, before things get tense in the finale, fans will also see the return of numerous themed weeks in which the stars will perform choreographies based on different concepts. This includes Movie Week, which usually takes place alongside Halloween, Musical and Blackpool themes.

    In a welcome surprise, BBC bosses have confirmed that Movie Week will see the return of Wicked sensation Cythia Erivo, who has dominated the stage and the screens. The actress who will star in the November release of Wicked: For Good will sit alongside the judges during Sunday’s result show. Fans will remember that Cynthia made her Strictly debut in 2021, where she joined as the show’s first-ever guest mentor.

    At the time, Cynthia appeared on Strictly for two weeks to cover for Craig and Motsi, who were absent from series 19 after testing positive for Covid.

    During her stint, the Harriet star made a significant impression on viewers after sharing her feedback using British sign language with former competitor Rose Ayling-Ellis, who is deaf.

    After the actress and her professional partner, Giovanni Pernice, danced to “Love is an Open Door” from Frozen, Cynthia shared that she found their performance “joyful” and “beautiful.”

    The Hollywood star added: “That was so much fun to watch, you managed to get all the characterisation, the mood, the feeling, all in one. It was gorgeous, so thank you.”

    When her 2021 addition was announced Cynthia stated: “Musicals have a unique place in my heart, it’s such a special way of connecting all art and making it one, I’m excited to bring my experience to the show and I can’t wait to see what the couples have in store this weekend.”

    In the upcoming episode, which will air October, Sunday 11, she will also watch the Strictly Professionals perform a Wicked-themed dance, to As Long As You’re Mine.

    Cynthia is set to work as a mentor with the couples before their Movie Week routines, and will then join the judges to share feedback following the performances.

    According to a source via the MailOnline: “Strictly wanted to sprinkle some real Hollywood magic on to Movie Week and have Cynthia coming on board to help train the stars.

  • A truly dark day for Britain’ Lord Fink blasts weekly ‘hate marches’ after Manchester synagogue 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬

    ‘A truly dark day for Britain’ Lord Fink blasts weekly ‘hate marches’ after Manchester synagogue terror attack

    ‘A truly dark day for Britain’ Lord Fink blasts weekly ‘hate marches’ after Manchester synagogue 𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘳 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬  

    Conservative peer Lord Stanley Fink has described the Manchester synagogue stabbings as “a truly dark day for Britain,” warning that the tragedy is the culmination of growing hate marches and rising anti-Semitism.

    Speaking to GB News, Lord Fink, who grew up just minutes from the synagogue and was a member there for a decade, said Jewish communities had feared such an 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬  was coming.

     

    He told Martin Daubney on GB News: “I think it is a dark day. But sadly, many of us have seen something like this coming, although I would never have predicted it would happen there, and in this way.

    “With hate marches on the streets every week in every major city, I saw something was brewing.”

    Lord Stanley Fink has described the Manchester synagogue stabbings as ‘a truly dark day for Britain’

    The assault began when an individual drove a vehicle towards pedestrians before launching a stabbing 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬  outside the place of worship.

    Two members of the public have died and three are in hospital in a serious condition, according to Greater Manchester Police.

    Lord Fink added: “For our police and authorities to allow those marches every single week in the busiest parts of London is madness. I simply don’t understand why it’s permitted.

    Martin said: And yet, they’ve been allowed — and they’re going on right now, not just in London but also in Manchester.

    Keir Starmer received more clothes worth £16,000 - BBC News

    “Sir Keir Starmer addressed the nation earlier, offering his condolences to the families, and his response was to promise more security.

    “But I’ve been speaking with Jewish people throughout the day. and many say they don’t want more security, that security is an admission of failure. So what do we really need to do?”

    Lord Fink responded: “I think we need to take a balanced view. The Jewish community has been in Britain for several hundred years and, by and large, I’d say 95 per cent have integrated incredibly well.

    “Personally, I regard myself as more British than Jewish, if I’m honest.

    “But I don’t think that’s true of some later arrivals. Particularly among more recent immigrants, there has been a lack of full integration.”

    Speaking after an emergency Cobra meeting, the Prime Minister paid tribute to Britain’s Jewish community, recalling how “so many Jewish families first came to this country as a place of refuge, fleeing the greatest evil ever inflicted on a people.”

    Keir Starmer addressed the nation earlier today where he said ‘hatred was rising once again’

    He said: “Communities like the one 𝘢𝘵𝘵𝘢𝘤𝘬 ed in Manchester provided safety, but also the security that comes from a promise that this is a country that stands up to hatred. We don’t just provide refuge, we provide a home.”

    But Sir Starmer acknowledged that synagogues and schools still face “round-the-clock protection” because of “the daily threat of antisemitic hatred”.

    He warned that such hatred is “rising once again” and declared that “Britain must defeat it once again”.

    Offering condolences to the victims and their families, the Prime Minister also thanked Greater Manchester Police, first responders and security teams for their swift response.

    Outspoken Good Morning Britain panellist Narinder Kaur initially promised to leave Britain if Reform UK won the next General Election. However, the former Big Brother star has gone back on her bold promise. Kaur shared on her X account: “Apparently, I’ve just won Reform the next General Election by saying I’d leave the country…”I’ve changed my mind – I’m now going to stay IF they win and carry on annoying you all. There. Has that stopped the win for them?” It follows her appearance on Jeremy Vine’s Channel 5 programme on Tuesday morning, during which she told viewers her plans to leave the country.

    Host Jeremy Vine told her during her appearance on his self-titled show: “You may be dealing with Nigel Farage as Prime Minister…”

    She defiantly said in response: “I’m going to leave the country and I’ve said it on air now. I’ll go to India, I’ll go back to India. I’ve already been looking at property there.”

    When Vine asked: “Have you?” Kaur replied: “Yeah… Well, I don’t think [Farage] will come into power at all. I think he will be finished by next year. But if you are asking that question, I’m looking at property in India. I’ll be gone.”

    Following her dramatic change of stance, viewers took to X to comment. One person shared: “Must be nice to have an ancestral homeland you could flee to if things get bad. We don’t have that. This is our homeland.”

    A third penned: “Just move there now! What you contributing apart from hate?” A fourth said: “Make up your mind Narinder, I like a principled woman.”

    Someone quipped: “Think there is more chance of you being the next Prime Minister than Nigel.”

    Another penned: “I think you sadly overestimate your influence.”

  • “My Heart Is Broken” — Stacey Solomon breaks her silence with a devastating message after the Manchester 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸

    “My Heart Is Broken” — Stacey Solomon breaks her silence with a devastating message after the Manchester 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸

    Stacey Solomon has issued a heartbreaking statement following the tragic Manchester synagogue 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸. On Thursday (October 2), two people were killed and four others were hospitalised in a serious condition after a car and knife 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 outside a synagogue in Manchester. The 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 came on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in the Jewish calendar.

    Greater Manchester Police said officers were called to the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation Synagogue at 9.30am. It is understood that a vehicle drove into pedestrians, and one person was stabbed. Armed police declared a major incident and opened fire five minutes later, killing the suspect.

    Clips shared on social media showed police with guns pointed at a person on the tarmac as a bystander could be heard saying the man had a bomb and was trying to push a button.

    Police have since declared the 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 a terrorist incident and have made two further arrests. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has arrived at Downing Street to chair a Cobra committee emergency meeting.

    The tragic incident has sparked nationwide backlash, and now Stacey Solomon has spoken out online. Taking to Instagram, the mum-of-five shared a “heartbreaking” statement as she passed on her sympathies to the victim’s families.

    She wrote: “It is heartbreaking to hear of the 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 at a synagogue in Manchester on Yom Kippur. My thoughts & prayers are with everyone affected.

    “I’m also thinking of anyone right now who feels scared for themselves & their loved ones just because of who they are. Being Jewish feels scary & that is heartbreaking.

    “It goes without saying, although I’ve said this before, my thoughts are also with the innocent people in Gaza. Being proudly Jewish & being against the horrific 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸 today does not cancel the other.

    “I realise no matter what I say, someone somewhere won’t like it. But all I really have to say is that none of this is okay [white heart emoji].” But she isn’t the only famous face to have reacted to the devastating 𝗔𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸.

    Good Morning Britain presenter Rob Rinder took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to issue an urgent plea to Brits up and down the country. He wrote: “On the holiest day of the year, we are 𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 at a Manchester synagogue.

    “Our children walk to school behind barbed wire protected by guns. Yet some still answer this atrocity with ‘what about…’ This is my country, the sanctuary my grandfather found after surviving the Holocaust, promising freedom under the rule of law.

    “Today I pray for the victims, thank the brave who responded, and wonder if that promise is fading. A community this small cannot stand alone. If you believe in Britain (wherever you’re from & whatever your faith), you must stand with us. Many Jews cannot imagine a future here, and history tells us what follows when that happens.”

  • SECURITY ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH” – Labour Faces Public Fury After Manchester Synagogue Attack

    SECURITY ALONE IS NOT ENOUGH” – Labour Faces Public Fury After Manchester Synagogue Attack

    Keir Starmer | Biography, Parents, Legal Career, & Wife | Britannica

    The shockwaves from the terrorist attack on a Manchester synagogue, which left two people dead, continue to reverberate across Britain. Political leaders and citizens alike are now grappling with a brutal truth: the promise of safety in Britain has never felt more fragile.

    Labour MP Josh Simons has called on the government to guarantee long-term funding for the Community Security Trust (CST), the body tasked with protecting Jewish schools, synagogues, and neighborhoods. But he issued a chilling warning — security alone will never be enough to stop hatred from striking again.

    “Neighbours must share language, schools, and history to build trust,” Simons said.
    “The ultimate test is whether residents can rely on each other in a crisis. We must build a country where everyone has that confidence.”

    Yet beyond Westminster’s polished statements, the mood is far darker. Across Manchester — and in Jewish communities nationwide — the Prime Minister’s solemn pledge that “Britain will defeat hatred once again” has been met with fear, anger, and deep scepticism.

    For many Jewish families, the horror of seeing blood spilled on the holiest of days has torn apart the thin veil of reassurance politicians have offered for years. “We hear the same promises every time,” one Manchester resident told reporters. “But every time, the violence returns. We feel abandoned.”

    The outrage now extends far beyond the Jewish community. In marketplaces, schools, and town halls, ordinary Britons are voicing their doubts. FEAR. ANGER. SCEPTICISM. These are the words dominating social media feeds and fueling protests outside Parliament.

    Critics argue that successive governments — Labour and Conservative alike — have hidden behind symbolic gestures while ignoring the root causes of extremism and division. The result, they say, is a Britain where synagogues and schools resemble fortresses, and yet ordinary citizens feel less safe than ever.

    And so the question, bitter and unrelenting, hangs over Downing Street:
    Can Sir Keir Starmer deliver more than words?
    Or will his FRAGILE PROMISE of protecting Britain collapse under the weight of yet another tragedy?

    TRAGIC DISCOVERY: Strictly’s Amy Dowden Breaks Silence As She Reveals Heartbreaking Reason Behind Illness Before Live Show

    Amy and partner Thomas Skinner are dancing a salsa this weekend

    Strictly Come Dancing pro Amy Dowden has revealed she is unwell, days before the second live show.

    Amy and celebrity partner Thomas Skinner appeared on It Takes Two tonight (October 2), where host Janette Manrara addressed Amy’s very croaky voice.

    Of course, Amy left the show early last year after sustaining an injury…

    Introducing the couple, Janette said: “It’s Tom and Amy!”

    She then spoke to the former Apprentice star, asking him if he enjoyed his first live show.

    Talk then turned to Amy. Janette said: “Now Amy, I know you’re a little bit under the weather, so excuse Amy today, but he made you a beautiful drink to help you out, didn’t he?”

    “He did,” said a very hoarse Amy. “With tumeric, ginger, pepper.” “With everything in there, everything you need,” said Janette. “So I won’t make you talk too too much,” she said, before asking what Amy made of Thomas’ first dance.

    Struggling to get her words out, she revealed that she found it “so rewarding” to see Thomas on the Strictly dance floor. “Seeing him transform, and to have the confidence that Tom had, you name it, you did such a great job,” she said as her voice broke again.

    Viewers on the hashtag soon wished Amy better. However, one touched on her slightly controversial pairing with Thomas as they said: “And now poor Amy has the lurgy – girl can’t catch a break!”

    Thomas Skinner reveals weight loss

    Thomas has also been concentrating on his health. He’s switched his fry ups for healthier breakfasts of fruit and yogurt, and he’s lost a stone since starting out on the show.

    “I’ve noticed my trousers are getting a little bit bigger,” he said.

    Good job Strictly costume designer Vicky Gill was also on It Takes Two tonight then, in case of any last-minute wardrobe alterations ahead of Saturday night!

    Fans of Strictly Come Dancing think they’ve already cracked who will win the 2025 series as the launch show kicked off on Saturday.

    As the new line-up hit the dance floor for the first time and performed for the judges, fans claimed to have spotted the winner. Just one performance in and months before the final in December, viewers picked out one pairing in particular that they say are “going to win”.

    All of the new celebs and their professional dance partners hit the studio ballroom, having been introduced by hosts Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman. As the judges had their say on their first routines and their skills so far, it was clear some pairs were doing better than others.

    As the show continued, fans shared their thoughts on the “clear winner” and named Emmerdale’s Lewis Cope as their champion. Despite Amber Davies and footballer Karen Carney proving popular, it was Lewis’ week one routine that left fans convinced he’d be this year’s winner.

    One fan posted on X: “Oh stop it!! Katya and Lewis, finalists init,” as another said: “Oh Lewis is gonna walk this series. Wow.” A third fan added: “Anyone else got a strange hunch the star of West End DANCE show Billy Elliot, Lewis Cope, might win in 2025?”

    A further comment read: “I can deffo see Lewis winning this,” as another commented: “Lewis stole the show.” One fan said: “Do think Lewis has a good shot at this, final if not winner.”

    Some viewers did believe Karen would be the winner though. One said: “Calling it now. Karen and Carlos to win.” Another agreed: “Karen Carney is literally gonna win strictly come dancing 2025 I’m so serious,” as another said: “Karen to win.”

    It comes after the news Dani Dyer had to pull out of the show days before the first live episode. She shared a sweet message for her Strictly co-stars ahead of Saturday’s episode after being forced to leave the show earlier this week due to an injury.

    It was announced on Tuesday that the 29-year-old would no longer be able to compete on the show after a fall during rehearsals led to her fracturing her ankle. However, despite not being able to take part, Dani has sent a message of support to her co-stars.

    Taking to her Instagram stories, the mum-of-three wrote: “Good luck to all the gorgeous cast starting there Strictly journey tonight. Can’t wait to watch you all, so proud & know how hard you’ve all been working.. see you all soon.”

    The official Strictly Come Dancing Instagram page revealed the sad news of Dani’s exit as they captioned it: “Unfortunately due to an injury Dani Dyer is no longer able to compete in #Strictly 2025. She’ll be sorely missed and we wish her a speedy recovery.”

    HEARTBREAKING NEWS: Coronation Street’s Sally Ann Matthews makes HEARTBREAKING ANNOUNCEMENT after leaving in TEARS

    Lần xuất hiện cuối cùng của ngôi sao này trên Corrie là vào tối thứ tư

    Coronation Street favourite Sally Ann Matthews has candidly opened up in a lengthy interview about leaving the cobbles. The 55-year-old star addressed the major scheduling change that will happen from January and teased a potential new role she may land. The soap will switch in the new year to five 30-minute episodes rather than three hour-long instalments on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

    Speaking on the Conversation Street podcast about the shake-up, the host asked the actress how she sees the upcoming changes impacting the soap. Sally replied: “I think it can only be for the good… When it goes to the half hours every day, theoretically, I think it is 18 or 19 characters per episode… You could have 18 characters on Monday’s and a completely different set of characters in Tuesdays episode.

    “They won’t, but they’ve now got a bit more freedom to have more people in. So you shouldn’t have big gaps, I think that can only be better. I think this will work better for the genre. And I just wish people would embrace our USP, which is that it’s a soap.”

    When asked about her career plans, she revealed: “I’ve had a really lovely audition for a new drama. This whole thing is very new!”

    While she didn’t reveal if she has secured the role in the mystery TV drama, she also said she is part of Celebrity MasterMind, but could not reveal her specialist subject on the podcast.

     

    Sally left Coronation Street in a tearful episode on Wednesday evening, 39 years after she made her debut in the role of Jenny Bradley, who later became Connor after marrying Johnny Connor.

    Those who follow the soap will remember Sally’s first appearance in the programme in 1986, when she was just 16.

    Sally confirmed she was leaving Corrie this August, and the news devastated her fans, who have followed the character’s progression over the decades.
