Imagine That ’70s Show without Topher Grace as Eric Foreman—the glue of the gang, the awkward yet lovable nerd we all rooted for. Now, picture an SNL comedian stepping into those vintage bell-bottoms instead. Sounds wild, right? Well, it almost happened. Before Grace landed the role, the producers considered a big-name funny guy to lead […]

I’M A Celeb fans have put forward the idea of ‘complaining to Ofcom’ after claiming that an under-fire campmate ‘should be exempt from trials’.
Last night saw viewers saw Radio 1 DJ Dean McCullough take part in The Sinister Sarcophagus bush tucker trial.
The 32-year-old had to answer Eygpt themed questions asked by Ant and Dec while in a mummy figurine.
Dean appeared to be doing well, answering two questions right and managing to put the two stars through the slot with his mouth.
However he dramatically quit just minutes in after he realised that sand was filling up inside – which left him not being able to feel his legs.
One fan thought that the trial was unfair, saying on Reddit: “Why isn’t Dean exempt from trials in closed spaces?”
They added: “Does anyone else think it’s wrong that Dean isn’t exempt from trials in closed spaces?
“He has claustrophobia, and therefore putting him in closed spaces could be detrimental to his health. He should have been exempt from last night’s and tonight’s trials on medical grounds.
“I’m starting to wonder if this would be worth complaining to Ofcom about?”
Another said: “If Dean has claustrophobia, he should have declared it and they should have made him medically exempt.”
But then others didn’t agree.
A third said: “?? The whole point of the programme is to face fears. There’s no real health risk to being scared. The worst that happens is someone has a bit of a panic and they get out of there. These people wanted to go on the programme and will have declared any medical conditions. I doubt he has claustrophobia on his NHS records…”
A fourth wrote: “Then we should exclude people with arachnophobia from any trial with spiders etc.. Basically it’s killing the show.”
The star was gutted and didn’t want to return to camp to tell the gang his news.
He said: “I feel like I’ve let you all down.”
Trying to reassure him, Jane Moore said: “I totally understood why you panicked,” and Tulisa said: “God loves a trier, mate.”
Some fans spotted the moment that ‘proves’ Dean was ‘faking tears’.
One viewer said: “Dean pretending to cry, looking for the camera. Desperately trying to get nominated for every trial.”
Another added: “How fake is Dean ?!?! Absolutely pathetic!! Needs to improve his acting skills. How quick he went from near hysteria to being completely calm!!!”
Someone else said: “Dean keeps fake crying I can’t take him seriously.”
Others were left in tears at Dean wildly wrong answer to a football question.
They asked him: “Name the footballer who is originally from Egypt and plays for Liverpool?”
And McCullough showed he’s not a football fan by answering “Jose Mourinho” instead of Mohamed Salah.
Dec shared after Tuesday’s show: “He was geniunely panicking.
“He has that fear of enclosed spaces.”
Joel asked the presenters: “Do the crew get frustrated when someone quits a trial?”
Ant replied: “Oh yeah.
“Everyone that builds a trial and comes up with a trial just wants to see a trial done properly.”
BAI YULU is one win away from becoming the first woman to reach the last-32 of the UK Championship.
The 21-year-old Chinese star won the final three frames to defeat world No.44 Scott Donaldson 6-5.
Speaking after her third qualifying win, after climbing back from 5-3 down, she said: “I was very nervous and I didn’t think I would win, but I did well.
“I don’t want to think too much about the next match, I have already done well to win three matches. I have learned a lot.”
Bai, who won the Women’s World Championship earlier this year, will play England‘s world No.21 Jack Lisowski in the final qualifying round on Wednesday night.
A victory will hand her a place in the main draw in York this weekend.
The last-32 stage gets under way on Saturday November 23 and will be televised on the BBC.
The top 16 seeds will be drawn against 16 qualifiers, with record eight-time champion Ronnie O’Sullivan defending the title.
Bai, 120th in the rankings, had already become the first woman this century to win back-to-back matches at a ranking event with victories over Jamie Jones and Farakh Ajaib.
She is playing on the professional tour for the first time this season and had not won a match on the main tour before this week.
FOOTBALL FREE BETS AND SIGN UP DEALS
Victory against Lisowski would see her join the likes of world champion Kyren Wilson and world No.1 Judd Trump at the York Barbican.
Bai is no stranger to the big stage, having played eventual winner Mark Williams at last week’s Champion of Champions tournament.
She lost 4-1 to the Brit in his first group match.
Bai won the Women’s World Championship in March to earn herself a two-year card on the World Snooker Tour.
She was the first player from mainland China to win the women’s world title.
After her potential was clear from an early age, she won the women’s IBSF under-21 world title in 2019, turning 16 during the tournament.
THE aim of snooker is to clear the table of all balls - and achieving it in an incredible 147 break is the ultimate goal.
The rectangular table features green baize, a baulk line and semi-circle, known as the D.
It has six pockets, four in each corner and two midway down both long sides.
There are 15 red balls which are arranged in a triangular shape.
There are also six colour balls, and the white cue ball.
Each colour sits on its own designated spot at the start of the game.
While red balls are worth one point when potted, the colours all have a different value.
In ascending order these are:
The first player will cue off and must hit at least one of the red balls in the triangle.
If they pot a red, they can then continue by potting a colour.
However, if no red is potted then their opponent will play the next shot – going for a red first.
Each player must first pot a red ball when it’s their turn to play. If nothing is pocketed it is the other player’s turn at the table.
After each red is potted they must then follow with a colour, then a red, then a colour, and so on.
Whilst there are still red balls on the table, the potted colour balls are returned to their designated spot.
Once all the red balls are pocketed, the player at the table must pot the colours in the order as outlined above.
If they miss then their opponent will have the opportunity to clear the table.
A 147 is a maximum break when all reds are potted by one player in one stint at the table.
In order to achieve 147, the player must pot all 15 reds with 15 blacks for 120 points.
They must then clear all the colours, concluding with the black for 27 points.
During play the rules state that the cue must only touch the white cue ball.
The cue ball also must hit the correct colour ball – reds or colours in order.
If it hits the incorrect colour then a foul is called.
If the cue ball fails to hit any ball or is pocketed it is also a foul.
The player’s turn at the table ends if they play a foul shot.
Players are also penalised if they touch any ball on the table with their person.

Many might remember how, back in late 2015, Valve essentially tried to revolutionize conventional gaming controllers with its Steam Controller, which featured some standout features for its time, such as a trackpad for aiming and rear paddles. But, instead of making waves within the market, it was a ship that, unfortunately, sank too quickly, leaving […]
