The Interview was one of Seth Rogen and James Franco’s crowning film achievements, which echoed the likes of The Dictator in its presentation and humor. However, truth is stranger than fiction, and if Seth Rogen can take a break from his stints with superheroes like Invincible and The Boys, there is a hot idea waiting […]

THIS Morning viewers were up in arms as they accused veteran show chef Phil Vickery of dishing up a “raw” and “runny” omelette to hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard.
It came shortly before ITV anchor Ben, 50, was forced to apologise for Phil’s language – after a viewer claimed he had let slip a naughty swear word.
The drama played out during a segment on Tuesday’s This Morning episode, where Phil, 63, was showing viewers how to make the perfect omelette.
He used three eggs for his recipe, and showcased a variety of omelette options including a traditional cheese and tomato one, an omelette with herbs and a folded omelette against the clock.
Yet it was during whipping up the latter, which failed to set quickly in the hot pan, where fans called out the foodie for his alleged cursing.
They were quick to pick up him seemingly uttering the words “s**t, how dare you” as he prepared to whipped up the snack in seconds.
It came as Ben warned him “not to cheat” in the timed challenge.
Shortly after the commercial break, Ben was forced to apologise for Phil’s foul language, even though it was unclear to many if he said “s**t” or “shoot” – claiming a user on X had flagged it to them.
He said: “Pressure does things to people doesn’t it?
“Apparently people forget where they are.
“Apparently someone thinks that our Phil, when we were forcing him to cook very fast, may have been a little bit flavoursome with his language.
“There was seasoning in his language which might not be appropriate this time of day.”
“Sorry if anybody thinks that.
“He didn’t think he did.”
Meanwhile, over on X, one viewer wrote: “Nobody seemed to have noticed the swears #thismorning, but Cat and Ben have to make a song and dance about it.”
A second put: “Phil said s**t .. so what.”
Many more This Morning viewers were bothered about whether the food was in fact edible.
One speculated: “Those omelettes look awful. And they’re undercooked.”
Another sarcastically wrote: “A raw egg omelette. Delicious.”
A third mused: “That omelette didn’t look that appetising,” while one put: “Gooey eggs = raw.”
A fan then commented: “Give me a runny omelette and you’ll be getting it straight back.”
One then quipped: “I like my eggs dead tho Vickers lol not gooey.”
ALICE Ruggles was killed by her jealous and controlling ex-boyfriend Trimaan “Harry” Dhillon in “one final act of dominance and control” on October 12, 2016.
The sickening case is featured in an episode of ITV’s The Social Media Murders. Here’s everything you need to know.
Alice Ruggles was a 24-year-old Northumbria University product design graduate from Leicester.
She took a job at Sky after graduating and developed an intense relationship with Trimaan “Harry” Dhillon while he was serving in Afghanistan.
Dhillon “bombarded” Alice with text messages and phone calls, gave her unwanted gifts, contacted her friends and family and threatened to kill himself as part of his manipulative pattern of behaviour while stalking her.
These threats were not considered to be genuine expressions of intent, but rather a tactic to control and guilt-trip her into maintaining contact.
She ended their relationship and reported her killer to cops weeks before her death.
Lance Corporal Dhillon climbed into Alice’s flat through an open window on October 12, 2016, before slashing her throat.
She suffered 24 injuries, while Dhillon — who at 6ft 1in and 12st 7lb was almost a foot taller and three stone heavier — suffered none.
Jurors at Newcastle Crown Court were played a frantic 999 call by Alice’s friend Maxine McGill where she described finding her pal “covered in blood”.
She named Dhillon as the killer, branding him an “absolute psychopath”.
In court, the monster claimed Alice had attacked him and died after accidentally plunging the carving knife into her neck when she fell during a row.
He was caged for life at HMP Durham, where he is still being held, with a minimum of 22 years for the act of “utter barbarism”.
Alice split with manipulative Dhillon in August 2016 after discovering he had been contacting other women on social media and dating apps.
He then launched a campaign of harassment against Alice and her family, even contacting her mum on social media begging her to intervene.
Dhillon hacked into Alice’s Facebook account to monitor her movements and sent her selfies of himself crying.
The stalking turned more sinister when he discovered she might be starting a new relationship with an Army officer she met in Germany.
Depraved Dhillon began stalking Alice’s flat at night, knocking on her bedroom window and terrifying her.
She contacted police and obtained a PIN (harassment notice) warning, ordering him to stay away.
But Dhillon, who was born in India and hoped to join the Special Reconnaissance Regiment, ignored it and sent her a parcel along with yet another pleading note.
When asked by cops if she wanted him to be arrested, Alice declined and later told a friend she felt “palmed off”.
She also chillingly told her sister Emma that the police would only “respond when he stabs me”.
Northumbria Police said they referred their actions to the IPCC, but said no one at the time knew the threat he posed.
The force has since apologised after the IPCC ruled officers failed to properly investigate.
Alice’s parents Clive and Sue set up the Alice Ruggles Trust, which raises money and provides training and education about issues such as stalking.
The horrific story of Alice’s murder is featured in episode four of true crime docuseries The Social Media Murders.
It examines how cyberstalking led to the tragic outcome, including previously unseen social media evidence highlighting the dangers of online harassment.
The show will be broadcast on ITV1 at 10.50pm on Saturday, March 1, 2025.

However, after the appeal from the publisher, the rating has been reclassified to 12. The reclassification is largely based on a re-evaluation of the […]

A DOGWALKER was forced to his knees in a park and kicked to death by a teen as a 13-year-old girl filmed the attack laughing, a court heard.
Bhim Kohli, 80, was just 30 seconds from home when he was violently beaten in Franklin Park near Leicester in September last year.
A 13-year-old girl has gone on trial at Leicester Crown Court accused of manslaughter, while a 15-year-old boy denies murder.
Jurors heard how Bhim was walking his dog on September 1 at around 6.18pm when the horror unfolded.
Opening the case, prosecutor Harpreet Sandhu KC said: “On September 1, however, Mr Kohli would not get the opportunity to walk his dog for long and never would he return home.
“That is because in Franklin Park, Mr Kohli had the misfortune to encounter these two defendants.
“(The boy and girl) used racist taunts against Mr Kohli, (the boy) used violence against Mr Kohli, (the girl) encouraged (the boy) to use violence against Mr Kohli.
“The prosecution say that as a result of causing those injuries, (the boy) is guilty of murdering Bhim Kohli and that (the girl) who encouraged the causing of those injuries is guilty of manslaughter.”
The girl, who was aged 12 at the time, and the boy had entered the park shortly him after Bhim with other youngsters.
When the group saw Bhim, the girl claimed he had tried to hit their friend “with a stick”.
The court heard three of the group ran away, with one later revealing this was because they “know how [the boy] is….he’s either gonna start on him or be mean to him or something”.
Prosecutor Harpreet Sandhu KC said the girl remained with the boy as he put a balaclava on to “support him in what was about to happen” and “encourage” the violence.
Jurors heard Bhim was forced to his knees by the male defendant while his co-accused filmed the attack.
One video played to the court showed the grandad being slapped with a slider shoe by the boy as the girl laughed and moved closer to film.
Mr Sandhu said: “What we saw on that clip was just pure violence.”
Bhim tragically tried to call one of his grandsons during the alleged attack but he did not picked up.
The court heard he also attempted to leave the park but the pair followed him as Bhim desperately tried to defend himself.
The last clip, which was filmed at 6.27pm, showed the dad lying on his side and not moving.
Just 48 seconds later, he had suffered fatal injuries after being subjected to more violence, it was said.
Jurors heard his son Virinder found his dad on the ground in “obvious pain” with injuries to his left side and his neck.
Bhim later told a paramedic he had been attacked by a boy, who punched and kicked him as he was called a racial slur.
As medics battled to save his life, the teen defendants fled towards their friends, who had left the park.
Allotment-loving Bhim was rushed to hospital but sadly couldn’t be saved and died the following evening.
The girl has denied manslaughter, while the boy denies murder and manslaughter.
The trial continues.

The German discount supermarket chain came to Ireland in 1999.
Aldi’s first few shops opened in November 1999, with locations in Sandyford, Dublin, and Ballincollig, Cork.
By the mid-2000s, Aldi bosses had opened numerous stores, focusing on providing high-quality products at low prices.
As the recession hit 2008-2012, Aldi’s popularity grew as consumers became more price-conscious.
The supermarket giant continued it’s expansion in Ireland between 2013-2018, while refurbishing existing stores.
By 2018, Aldi had over 130 shops throughout the country.
The chain began to focus on expanding its range of Irish-made products and supporting local producers.
In 2023, Aldi had over 140 stores in Ireland.
The store invested in sustainability initiatives, such as reducing plastic packaging and increasing the availability of organic and eco-friendly products.
Aldi chiefs said: “At Aldi we are committed to supporting Irish suppliers. Developed in partnership with Bord Bia, Grow with Aldi is designed to help the very best Irish suppliers develop their brand.
“To date, we’ve invested €10 million in our Grow with Aldi development programme in a bid to find the very best Irish suppliers.
“As a result, for a limited time only there are over 47 new products, from 27 Irish suppliers available in store.”
Aldi have introduced technological advancements with self-checkout systems and contactless payment options.
A COUPLE’S £157,000 BMW was allegedly wrecked by a reckless airport parking firm which took it on a joyride while they were abroad.
The pair claimed they landed back at Manchester Airport from a holiday only to find their “meet and greet” parking provider had crashed their luxury motor.
After alerting police, they found their badly damaged brand new 2024-plate BMW XM crashed into a hedge near the airport.
The couple had landed on a flight from the Czech Republic on Saturday afternoon before discovering their smashed motor.
They alleged to Manchester Evening News that the parking firm crashed the hybrid petrol-electric car after they called to summon the vehicle.
The couple also said it didn’t apologise for crashing it and refused to reveal its location.
Their daughter was not with them at the time but told how they called to say they were ready for their car after landing at the busy airport.
However, 45 minutes passed and there was no sign of the motor so they called again.
When the company picked up, the couple claimed they said another car had crashed into theirs and that they would have to take a taxi home.
Their daughter also claims the parking provider refused to give the location of the accident, so her parents called the police who then revealed where the car was.
The couple, from Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire, got into cab and later found their damaged car on Mill Lane near the junction with Castle Mill Lane in the Cheshire village of Ashley, close to the airport.
Their daughter explained how heart-broken the family were when they saw the destroyed motor and how frustrating it was that they only found out its location from the police.
She also said how the couple’s grandchildren would even take their shoes off when getting into the car.
The daughter added: “They were really upset. They really loved that car.
“The company just didn’t care and they didn’t even say sorry or that they would drive them home.”
Her father said: “That car means everything to me.”
Manchester Evening News says it called the company, which appeared to be called Secure Parking Manchester, using a mobile number the couple had provided to them.
Once revealed that it was reporting an incident where someone from the firm had appeared to have crashed the car, a man said that the message would be passed onto the office.
The man added that they deal with the complaints side and would give them a call back.
However, no return call was ever received, and an email the news site sent to the firm’s address that had been provided to the couple was also not responded to.
A spokesperson for Cheshire Constabulary told The Sun: “At 1.53pm on Saturday 22 February Cheshire Police were contacted by GMP in relation to a collision involving a BMW which had collided with a hedge on Mill Lane, Castle Hill Farm.
“There were no reports of any injuries, and the vehicle was recovered from the scene.”
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Police confirmed this, saying it responded to a car being in a ditch on Saturday afternoon on Mill Lane.
They added that the driver provided a negative breath test and no arrests were made, while neither force mentioned a second car being involved in the incident.
A representative for Manchester Airport said Secure Parking Manchester was a private company unaffiliated with the airport, adding that it does not use any of the airport’s facilities.
Secure Parking Manchester was approached for comment by The Sun.
