    It has been months since news emerged that the Beckham family were going through a troubled time as Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz noticeably distanced themselves from the clan. But it looks as though the public family feud has done little to dampen the couple’s love for one another as they have just renewed their vows after three years.

    A source close to the couple reportedly confirmed the news of their renewed nuptials to the People magazine. The source said: “This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together.”

    Brooklyn, 26, who is the eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham, first started dating the Hollywood heiress in 2019 and announced they were engaged the following year.

    In what has been described as one of the most expensive weddings to date, the couple became husband and wife in April 2022, at Nicola’s sprawling family estate in Florida.

    It was only a few months ago that the aspiring chef posted on social media to reflect on the moment he proposed to Nicola. Sharing a picture of them together, with Brooklyn kissing Nicola’s cheek, he captioned the post saying: “It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much.”

    At the time of their third wedding anniversary, neither Victoria or David publicly wished their son or daughter-in-law a happy anniversary.

    The growing feud between them appeared even more evident as neither the former Spice Girl or England footballer liked or commented on Brooklyn’s anniversary post. Further fuelling speculation that the rift had impacted Brooklyn’s siblings, it was reported that none of his brothers, Romeo and Cruz had mentioned anything in respect of their brother’s anniversary.

    Back in April, Brooklyn posted a throwback picture of him and his wife on their wedding day and captioned the message saying: “Happy 3 year anniversary baby x I love you with all my heart x I’m so lucky I get to spend everyday with you and wake up to your beautiful face everyday you are my world x I love you so much Nicola xxxxxxx.”

    The family feud appeared to gather pace when Brooklyn failed to attend his father’s 50th birthday party in May, which, according to reports, left David heartbroken.

    It also emerged that neither Nicola or Brooklyn were following his brother’s Instagram accounts. But according to the publication, sources revealed that it was in fact Cruz and Romeo who have blocked Brooklyn.

  • Lucy Letby convictions under scrutiny as experts challenge trial evidence in new ITV doc

    Lucy Letby convictions under scrutiny as experts challenge trial evidence in new ITV doc

    An ITV documentary, Lucy Letby: Beyond Reasonable Doubt?, features medical experts questioning the evidence that convicted nurse Lucy Letby of killing seven babies and attempting to kill seven others, as her legal team pursues a potential appeal

    Several medical experts criticise the “deeply disturbing” and “flawed” evidence used to convict killer nurse Lucy Letby in a new documentary on TV tonight.

    Letby was found guilty of murdering seven newborn babies and attempting to kill seven others and was handed 15 whole life sentences, meaning she will never be released from prison.

    But in ITV’s Lucy Letby: Beyond Reasonable Doubt? her barrister Mark McDonald says: “There’s no direct evidence, no one saw her do anything wrong.” It comes after it was reported that ‘scared’ Letby can’t lose weight as she hoards ‘junk food’ behind bars.

    He adds: “In the trial, they started from the starting point, ‘She has done harm. Now we have to show how she has harmed each child….we’re just going to put together a theory.’ And she was convicted on that theory.”

    Two appeals have failed. But in February a panel of medical experts, led by Dr Shoo Lee, found Letby did not murder any babies. Her defence team has now submitted an application to the Criminal Cases Review Commission.

    Dr Neena Modi, ex-president of the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, says: “It’s been deeply disturbing that one can have such a… tremendously important trial that seems to have been conducted with so many flaws.”

    One alleged flaw is a shift chart, used to prove Letby was always present when the babies were harmed at the Countess of Chester Hospital from 2015 to 2016.

    But statistician Professor Jane Hutton says some incidents, when Letby was not working, were left off, adding: “This is a summary that is so crude it can only be described as grossly misleading.”

    It was also claimed Letby must have caused one baby’s death by removing a breathing tube. But several experts say the tubes can be dislodged for a “variety of reasons”.

    Notes by Letby, including the phrase “I am evil I did this” were presented as confessional in court. But it is claimed she was encouraged by hospital staff to write down her feelings to help cope with stress.

    It is also alleged the prosecution’s lead expert, Dr Dewi Evans, has altered his view about how three babies died since the case.

    But he denies this, saying his evidence has been agreed by a jury and the Court of Appeal. He also argues the case by Dr Shoo Lee’s panel has not been held to scrutiny in court and contains significant factual errors.

    The CPS said: “Lucy Letby was convicted of 15 separate counts following two jury trials.

    “In May 2024, the Court of Appeal dismissed Letby’s leave to appeal on all grounds, rejecting her argument that expert prosecution evidence was flawed.”

    It added that it is considering police files on further baby deaths and collapses at the Countess of Chester and Liverpool Women’s Hospital.

    Loose Women’s Judi Love has admitted she fears she’ll be axed from the ITV show.

    The star has opened up about her career as she said she’s worried she might be sacked from Loose Women one day. She said she finds herself worrying that she might not be invited back despite joining the show back in 2020 and being in her fourth year of being a panellist.

    Judi said that she thinks there are numerous positive aspects of the show which includes getting to meet well known names in the industry. However, there is one negative part that stays on her mind.

    Speaking to Heat, Judi said: “The best part of the job is just being able to connect with so many different women from so many different backgrounds. The worst part is leaving on a good day and not knowing if you’re coming back.”

    Judi has managed to meet several impressive celebrities since joining the show. She recently got the chance to interview Janet Jackson which she said was one of her most favourite moments on the series.

    When asked who her favourite interviewee ever was, she said: “Whoopi Goldberg and Janet Jackson, without a doubt, because they’re people who I grew up with and saw myself in. But my favourite interviews are mostly when I’m out meeting people and having a chat.

    “I sometimes get into conversations with my taxi drivers, and they’re from a completely different background, different age, different culture, and you’re able to connect over conversation and life experience – that’s such a beautiful thing. To me, the conversations with people who don’t necessarily have a public profile – everyday people – are where you really have those groundbreaking moments that allow you to check yourself back to reality about what’s really important.”

    Judi’s comments come after she announced that she is set to star in the new BBC family animation Super Happy Magic Forest where she will be voicing the part of Blossom the unicorn. Judi said she has done voice overs for adverts before but this will be her first time working on an animation.

    She’s also got another exciting project coming up as Judi will be fronting her very own five-part cooking show, airing later this year. In a statement, she told fans she was “so excited” for the “new adventure” with ITV and added: “Growing up within a Jamaican family, food was always at the heart of any function and occasion. So I’m truly excited to experience the culture, people and food of the beautiful Mediterranean.”

  • Sarah Ferguson issues health update saying she thought her double cancer diagnosis was a ‘death sentence’

    Sarah Ferguson issues health update saying she thought her double cancer diagnosis was a ‘death sentence’

    Sarah Ferguson is on a mission to encourage the public to never skip their medical appointments, as she credits her recent check-ups and medical interventions with saving her life following her breast and skin cancer diagnosis

    The Duchess of York has shared a health update after undergoing treatments for breast and skin cancer, sharing that her “outlook is good” although she acknowledges she’ll require ongoing checks.

    Sarah Ferguson disclosed her initial fear upon receiving her double diagnosis, worrying it was a “death sentence” but credits her recent check-ups and medical interventions with saving her life and is on a mission to encourage the public to never skip their medical appointments.

    Several members of the royal family have been hit with poor health in recent months, with King Charles’ cancer diagnosis in January 2024 and The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, revealed the news of her cancer diagnosis in a video statement on March 22. Sarah was diagnosed with malignant melanoma, a form of skin cancer, in January 2024, just a year after her breast cancer diagnosis.

    Sarah recounted her own experience: “When you’re told you have cancer, you can’t help thinking it’s a death sentence. Your mind goes to the darkest places and you wonder what lies ahead and how you are going to share the news with your family.

    Sarah, Duchess of York

    “I had almost missed the appointment as I couldn’t face a journey into central London on a hot summer’s day and thought I would put it off. It was only when I mentioned this by chance to my sister Jane, who had called me from her home in Australia, that she went into bossy older sibling mode and insisted I went. That check-up, and the treatment I underwent, saved my life.”

    Sarah is now urging others to get screened and not put off medical appointments, she said: “I’m living proof of the importance of never skipping screening appointments and always getting symptoms checked out promptly,” reports The Sun.

    Sarah is convinced her condition was caused by the fact she was a fair-skinned youngster in the 70s, when the importance of using sun cream was not as encouraged as it is today. Giving an update on her health Sarah confirmed she has undergone a single mastectomy with breast reconstruction, while the malignant melanoma and the skin nearby were excised and other moles tested for any signs of cancer.

    Sarah has been told “the forecast is promising” but says her doctors avoid claiming she is “cancer free”, she claims the “treatment appears victorious” and all indications are that the cancer hasn’t spread or come back.

    She said: “I’ve made peace with the reality that regular health screenings will be part of my life from now on I’m now on a mission to use my journey to highlight awareness.”

    In the UK, breast cancer touches close to 57,000 women each year. It reigns as the most prevalent cancer across the country and the prime cause of mortality amongst British female adults between 35 to 49 years old. For reasons still not fully understood, the occurrence of breast cancer is ticking up since the early ’90s, we’ve seen about an 18 percent increase. However, the debate around the prevention of breast cancer doesn’t seem to be getting the spotlight it deserves.

    Sarah Ferguson has teamed up with the charity Prevent Breast Cancer, as a patron and is on a mission to raise awareness about the significance of early detection.

    The charity is hoping to raise £600,000 to get a new National Breast Imaging Academy built which aims to train 50 new breast imaging specialists annually. Without breast imaging, we’re in the dark on breast cancer. Every woman who has a routine mammogram, or who finds a lump and is checked out, will then undergo breast imaging to detect and diagnose cancer.

    Sarah said: “Breast cancer doesn’t wait and neither can we. Your support will mean more mammograms, more research and more lives saved.”

    Stacey Solomon is said to be ‘apprehensive’ about her new reality show, as she enforces ‘ground rules’ for filming with her six children, who are all expected to appear

    Telly favourite Stacey Solomon is all set to expose her private life in unprecedented detail as she and her household gear up to star in a brand new real-life show that’s giving off some serious Kardashian vibes. With the cameras getting ready to roll at Pickle Cottage, it looks like this new BBC program titled Escape to Pickle Cottage could take the 35-year-old presenter and her family – including hubby Joe Swash, sons Zach, 16, Harry, 16, Leighton, 12, Rex, five, daughters Rose, two, and Belle, 20 months – on quite the tumultuous ride.

    A source told OK!: “Although Stacey is very excited about the reality show with her family, she’s also quite apprehensive and nervous about it as she’ll really be putting herself out there. Yes, she shares a lot of her family and home life on Instagram but that is just little snippets. Having your own tv show is completely different and, unlike on socials, there will be a big camera crew filming their every day life. They will have to learn to live with cameras in their house and following them around – at the moment it’s just her or Joe filming on their phones.”

    Stacey Solomon and her family
    Stacey and Joe have reportedly signed up to film with their kids

    With her family already familiar with the spotlight – Stacey often shares updates on their life, from celebrating big birthdays to holiday escapades with her 6 million followers – it seemed like a match made in heaven.

    Yet, as filming kicked off with a family trip to Port Lympne Safari Park in Kent, captured by a camera crew, Stacey is said to be anxious about the “intrusive nature” of a TV show, particularly with her kids set to feature prominently. And it seems some fans echo these worries, voicing their unease online.

    One person posted: “I am so against monetising children who cannot consent to being filmed and whose young years are put out there for public consumption. their younger selves will be in the public domain forever, have the parents thought this through? “. Another shared: “It’s surprising how many people don’t understand the importance of protecting the children from the media.”

    However, some other fans have leapt to her defence amid the criticism, with one saying: “She is just natural and is a good mother looking after her children,” while another hailed the programme as featuring: “two loving parents, nice siblings and extended family, lovely home and experiences.”

    The source said the latest TV project will be “a lot more intrusive”, and Stacey has concerns about the impact it might on their family, especially their kids’ privacy. “Stacey is used to the odd bit of criticism on her Instagram but the comments are normally positive, so it’s quite a shock to see people slating her choice to do this TV show,” they said. “It really hurts when people say she’s cashing in on her kids and risking their safety by filming them. Every job she takes on is for them and she has weighed everything up.

    “She’s never hidden them, and both her and Joe have been in the public eye for a long time so she feels they can protect the children from the pitfalls of fame as they grow up. She knows more people will recognise the children once they’re on TV but Stacey is prepared for that. She has set some ground rules with the crew to help protect the kids, like not filming them in their school uniform, or on play dates. Other reality TV stars have since said that filming has been hard on their children – and Stacey is adamant that won’t happen to them.”

    The star, who shot to fame on X Factor in 2009, confessed in May that her ultimate goal was to leave television behind to cherish time with her little ones. Stacey pointed out her preference for home-based projects, but it seems there are still ambitions afoot, as she’s all about setting clear limits.

    The source added: “She sees it as a huge opportunity for them all, it will make her brand even bigger as a tv show opens up a whole new audience and it will help financial secure the kids’ future and that’s what she does it all for. The older kids won’t be in it as much as they’re not as keen and Stacey respects that.

    “But this show will make her into an even bigger star and will open up so many more opportunities and she says the pros outweigh the cons. Plus the younger kids love being in front of the cameras and she can’t wait to show them off.”

    Penny Lancaster breaks down in tears as she opens up on family breast cancer ordeal

    Emotions were running high on the latest instalment of Loose Women as Penny Lancaster shared the sad story of how her sister in law found out that she had breast cancer

    Loose Women star Penny Lancaster was in tears during Thursday’s show as she spoke about her sister-in-law Louise’s cancer battle.

    The 53-year-old was back on the daytime show alongside panellists Charlene White, Frankie Brige and Nadia Sawahla. As the ladies discussed breast cancer and the importance of getting checked, Penny reflected on her brother’s wife sad diagnosis.

    Explaining how she found out from her family about Louise’s diagnosis at the time while also finding out that she was pregnant, Penny couldn’t hold back her tears. She recalled: “At the time it was one in nine that was diagnosed, and of course it’s one in seven now and we kind of sat down after the walk and said it could be one of us.

    “Very shortly afterwards, it was my third IVF, I fell pregnant and I was so excited to tell them the news and they didn’t want to have to tell me in that same phone call that Louise had found a lump.” She went on to explain how brave Louise was during the ordeal.

    Penny Lancaster was left in floods of tears

    Breaking down in tears, she said: “She was so brave and she was only 36! So with the NHS only screening at 50, women under the age of 50 must do that self-check because that was the only way she found it because of the advise breast cancer care had given and about the checking.

    She added: “Women under the age of 40, their breast are much more dense. So it’s harder to actually detect those lumps.

    “There’s a misconception that there’s no pain with breast cancer and she felt pain,” she shared. She then explained how important it is for people to continually check their breasts if they’ve notice any changes and seek medical advise.

    In 2011, Louise shared her story with Daily Mail. She said: “I got up, and as I did, I suddenly realised my right breast was sore and uncomfortable.

    “I pressed the palm of my hand flat on to my nipple, and directly behind it I felt a lump. It was like a cross between a pea and a broad bean,

    Louise was later told she had stage three breast cancer. However she did manage to beat it.

    The 66-year-old explained: “Well I had Lauren when I was 25, and then there was an 11 year gap before I had Louis and then I think about a five-year gap between Bobby. So at 25 I was quite a young mum and everything

    “I lost one inbetween Louis and Bobby, sorry Louis and Lauren, so I would have had four children but that didn’t happen.”

    Confirming the close bond her children now have as adults, the former Birds of a Feather star added: “It was just the age difference, Lauren hated Louis when he was born as she had 11 years on her own sleeping in a bed with me, and it was just me and her.

    “Then all of a sudden this brother turns up who has got eczema and asthma so he needed a bit more care than the other kids.

    “It was only when we went to Australia, I was working out in Australia and I took the three kids out there, that Louis and Lauren bonded because she was looking after him while I was working. Now the three are close as anything, they really are.”

    She added: “That was a really hard day, like going home that night knowing that I’d have to go in and have suction the next day.”

    Lynda’s husband Michael previously feuded with her sons over her assets after she died.

    The TV star’s £1.9million estate caused a public dispute as her two sons Robbie and Michael alleged Mr Pattemore splashed “thousands of pounds on lavish holidays and other luxuries”.

    But In June 2016, a document released by the High Court showed that the actual value of said estate was only £166,000. Her actual debts, according to the document, numbered more than £1.7million.

    In 2017, it was reported that Michael and Robbie were to be left with just £50,000 each of their mother’s estate. At the time, various outlets reported that they had been “betrayed” by their step-father.

    At the time, Lynda’s son Michael argued: “It’s a kick in the teeth hearing about his hell when he’s sitting on around £5million of property, much of which was bought with our mum’s money. None of Mum’s family or friends will speak to him now.”

    Eight shocking celebrity moments caught on camera from TV star’s ‘refusal to clap’ to smooch

    From Hollywood A listers to daytime telly stars and Strictly contestants, plastering on a smile comes second nature to celebrities, but sometimes the mask can slip or at least look like it has

    Celebrity life seems glamorous, but nothing is picture-perfect all the time – and sometimes the camera that stars are so used to performing in front of can capture some cringe-worthy moments.

    And sometimes, things can be misconstrued and misinterpreted. Nevertheless, it’s always potentially very damaging to have a less-than-perfect-looking moment. Just ask Strictly stars Katya Jones and Wynne Evans; the two are currently on a whirlwind damage limitation PR exercise over social media, TV and radio – after two uncomfortable-to-watch incidents spotted by eagle-eyed Strictly viewers on Saturday night’s show.

    The Mirror looks at the latest Strictly scandal and other less-than-perfect celebrity moments…

    Strictly viewers were in equal parts cringing and horrified by two hands-off moments caught on camera between Wynne Evans and Katya Jones. Firstly Strictly pro dancer Katya appeared to snub Go Compare star Wynne Evans giving him an eye roll when he approached her for a high five. A much more concerning moment came when standing behind Katya. Wynne’s hand appeared to move from her waist to her stomach, leading Katya to push it back to her waist.

    Afterwards, the couple posted a video saying the Strictly high-five snub was a silly inside joke between them. On Sunday, Katya posted a solo video addressing the wandering hand. She said: “I need to make something crystal clear. “The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was a very silly inside joke between Wynne and I. So even the idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended in any way is complete nonsense. It’s actually absurd.”

    On the Sunday nights results show, Wynne had his hands firmly behind his back throughout and appeared uncomfortable when he was told he and Katya had made it through to the next week.

    Speaking on BBC Radio Wales, where he hosts a programme, Wynne explained: “I’m absolutely heartbroken by the things that have been written about me in the last day. It’s not nice to live in that time, but basically Katya and I are really, really close and we’re really good friends, and on Saturday night we made a stupid joke.

    “It was a stupid joke that went wrong, OK? We thought it was funny. It wasn’t funny. It has been totally misinterpreted. Everything’s on Katya’s socials. She’s talked about it. She’s explained that it was a joke. She wasn’t offended in the least. She doesn’t feel uncomfortable.”

    Katya is no stranger to controversy. In 2018 she was photographed kissing her celebrity dance partner Seann Walsh on a night out.

    She was married to fellow dance pro Neil Jones and the kiss was also captured on Seann’s then girlfriend Rebecca Humphries’ birthday. The shocked girlfriend wrote an open letter calling Seann out during their relationship, while Neil initially stood by his wife but they quietly separated just under a year later.

    When Walsh took part in I’m A Celebrity four years later, he admitted he was destroyed by the scandal and that hardly anyone had bought tickets to his Edinburgh Fringe show the year after Strictly, saying: “My career was dead, I was over.”

    Katya later said: “I’m happy to talk about it now – it doesn’t affect me, it doesn’t affect who I am. It was mental, and it took time to get over it but the way I came out of it, I am happy, and my ex-husband Neil and I have never been so close. Which I think says it all.”

    The two A-listers appeared to share a tense moment on the red carpet for the Balenciaga show at Paris Fashion Week – in front of an agog Katy Perry and the world’s flashbulbs. Nicole 57, and Salma, 58, were standing alongside pop star Katy Perry when Salma turned toward Nicole, appearing to adjust her stance for more photos. Nicole, however, seemed to have had enough of the photo session, moving Salma’s hand away before kissing Katy goodbye and walking off.

    Salma was standing with her husband, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault whose company Kering owns Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and Saint Laurent. While not directly addressing what happened, Salma took to social media to share a picture from the event and tagging Nicole.

    Salma posted “Finally, last night, the grand finale of my Paris Fashion Week 2025… Balenciaga and Demna for a terrific show,” Salma wrote.

    There seemed to be serious beef between comedian Judi Love and daytime telly royalty Lorraine Kelly at the BAFTA TV Awards earlier this year. Loose Women star Judi Love appeared to roll her eyes and look decidedly unimpressed manner while everybody else around her clapped Lorraine Kelly picked up a special award for her services to morning TV.

    It appeared to viewers that Judi had refused to clap for Lorraine. The next day the ITV colleagues posted a video recreating and mocking Judi’s “side eye.”

    Judi wrote: “After last night’s incident, this morning is becoming international news! I’d like to make an official statement, please watch till the end!!” Lorraine shared the video, writing: “Love you @1Judilove – what a lot of silliness – but it gave us both a laugh this morning xxxxx.”

    Later Judi explained: “You know what, my dress was very tight, I was trying to sit like a lady. The camera was right there, I thought: ‘Okay, this is your moment’ you know it’s going to be on TV, so I just always get prepared.

    “I was trying to be regal, the thing is, I stood up and gave Lorraine a standing ovation. They showed the bit with Andi standing up but missed me out, only showing me going…”

    There were rumours of a cast feud on the set of Olivia Wilde’s film Don’t Worry Darling after a fallout between Olivia and lead actress Florence Pugh. Then Olivia’s boyfriend at the time, Harry Styles added fuel to the fire when when he appeared to “spit” on his co-star Chris Pine.

    In the viral clip, Harry Styles walks up to take an empty seat next to Chris but not before pausing and glances at Chris’s lap. Chris then looks at his lap and shakes his head in disbelief. According to some commentators, it was because Harry had hawked up some shit and fired it over Chris.

    Chris’ representatives called the rumour “a ridiculous story” and “a complete fabrication and the result of an odd online illusion that is clearly deceiving and allows for foolish speculation.”

    At the 2014 Met Gala, leaked security footage l showed Solange Knowles kicking and slapping her brother-in-law Jay-Z in the street as a bodyguard tried to hold her back, and Beyoncé looked on nonplussed.

    The world’s press was there to see the trio exit the lift – looking unsurprisingly awkward – given what had just taken place. Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Solange issued a joint statement to address the “great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident.”

    The most important thing is that our family has worked through it…Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologised to each other, and we have moved forward as a united family.”

    Zac Efron

    Not exactly ugly – just a tad inappropriate considering Zac was at a children’s movie premiere.

    At the February 2012 The Lorax premiere, Zac was seen taking his hand out of his pocket to greet a fan. In doing so, the actor accidentally dropped a condom on the red carpet. He swept up the contraceptive immediately with a sheepish grin.

    High School musical star Zac provided the voice for Theodore ‘Ted’ Wiggins, a 12-year-old boy who uncovers the story of the Lorax a mythical creature played by Danny DeVito in the film which highlighted environmental issues.

    The then 24-year-old actor’s embarrassment was clear as he coughed and held his hand to his mouth, pausing to regroup after the mishap. This served as an apology enough.

    In an interview with the Today show, he explained: “I never really had a pocket checking policy to prior to going onto the red carpet before, but now, we fully have instated one.” The interviewer replied, “You know, better to be safe than sorry!” Zac quipped back: “Yes. It’s a great message to add to the many messages in the film.”

    Will Smith and Chris Rock

    Branded the’ ugliest moment in Oscars history’, no one’s picture perfect mask slipped on this occasion. At the the 2022 Academy Awards host Chris Rock made an ill-advised joke about actress Jada Pinket Smith’s alopecia.

    Her unimpressed husband Will Smith – sitting alongside her – first appeared to laugh at the joke, then walked on stage and slapped the comedian before telling him: ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth’.

    Will went on to win Best Oscar for King Richard, where he played the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams. He appeared to defend his actions in his acceptance speech apologising to the Academy and his fellow nominees before saying: ‘Love will make you do crazy things.’

    The Independence Day star later resigned from the academy and said he had “betrayed the trust of the Academy” and was “heartbroken” over his actions.He added he would “fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct”.

    The actor was given a ten-year ban from attending the Oscars. Chris did not press assault charges but has since joked: “ “Life is good. I got my hearing back.” The comedian also made Will and Jada the butt of several brutal jokes in his stand up tour last year.
