Nibble my nuts Rugby ace Mike Tindall, who is married to Princess Anne’s daughter Zara, made a revealing confession in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! In a recent episode, Mike turned conversation in camp to suits – and how he can sometimes get a bit carried away when dancing. “I tend to over-exaggerate dancing at weddings especially … I rip a lot of suits, trousers and stuff, and the old ‘slut drop’ gets me every time. “I usually take a spare suit just in case!” He went on to recall the time he was dancing with Princess Anne at his wife Zara’s 30th birthday – and things went from bad to worse. “It was a disco 70s-themed party, I was dancing and I had flares on — the full outfit,” he explained. “It was quite tight — nothing ever fits a rugby player’s bum and legs — so when I did a slut drop in front of my motherin-law, the trousers split wide open. “Unfortunately, the boxer shorts I had on at the time said ‘Nibble My Nuts’ — she just said ‘I’d rather not, if you don’t mind; I’m going,’ and walked off laughing. “I was mortified, but she took it in good part.”
Olivia’s ordeal Olivia Attwood has finally spoken out about why her time on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! was cut short. The Love Island star was forced to leave the To advertise call 664 210 468 or email sales@thesentinella.com 80 Celebrity News jungle after just 24 hours, and while she’s shut down certain rumours, she hadn’t yet addressed why she was no longer there. The 31-year-old was rushed to A&E by ITV staff after ‘routine blood tests’ showed her to be ‘dangerously anaemic’. Not only that, but her sodium and potassium levels were ‘worryingly low.’ “I was so scared,” she told The Daily Mail. She said her blood tests had been ‘fine’ when she had them done in England. During the journey to the hospital, Olivia added that she was worried about being pregnant, or concerned that she had picked up a virus. ITV bosses wouldn’t let her back into the jungle after the health scare, despite the hospital giving her the all-clear. She is still insisting she “loved” her time — albeit brief — in the jungle. “I was absolutely devastated to leave the show,” she maintained.
Beatty an abuser?
Bonnie and Clyde actor Warren Beatty, 85, is being sued by Kristina Hirsch, who has accused the actor of grooming and exploitation. The pair met on the set of a movie in 1973 when she was just 14.
Hirsch, now 63, claimed that the abuse continued for months.
She had been taken to the set in LA by her neighbour and friend who was working on production, and claims that the actor, who was 35 at the time, repeatedly paid ‘undue attention’ to her.
The lawsuit states that Beatty gave her his hotel phone number and lured her there on various pretexts.
Beatty allegedly took her in his car, offering to help her with homework and having conversations with her about losing her virginity.
According to the Daily Mail, court documents read: "He used his role, status, and power as a well-known Hollywood star to gain access to, groom, manipulate, exploit and coerce sexual contact from her over the course of several months in the State of California."
As a result, she allegedly ‘suffered severe emotional, physical and psychological distress, including humiliation, shame, and guilt.’
She seeks damages, special damages and punitive damages.
No babies for Jennifer
Actress Jennifer Aniston, 53, has spoken for the first time about her secret IVF battle and admits ‘the ship has sailed’ on her being a mum.
In a recent interview with Allure magazine, the Friends star revealed the lengths she took to try and get pregnant during her late 30s and 40s.
"It was really hard. I was going through IVF, drinking Chinese teas, you name it," Jennifer explained. "I was throwing everything at it, but here I am today — the ship has sailed.”
She added: "I actually feel a little relief now because there is no more, ‘Can I? Maybe? Maybe?’ — I don’t have to think about that anymore."
Jennifer is keen to write a book to share her struggles with others in the same boat.
