A THUG MMA fighter who starred in a Channel 4 show is facing jail for a second time after previously attacking his ex.
Demornia Cantrill spoke about his upbringing in foster care on 2015 doc Kicked Out Kids.
He told the show: “I want to prove to everybody that says I’m just going to be a drug dealer or in prison – I want to prove them wrong and show that just because I had a s*** upbringing doesn’t mean I can’t change it.”
But Cantrill has now pleaded guilty to possessing class A diamorphone – a prescription only opiod – with intent to supply and possession of cannabis.
The 28-year-old is now facing a prison sentence when he returns to court in July for sentencing.
Cantrill was previously locked up in 2020 after he attacked his ex-girlfriend at her home.
Tyra Campbell was left fearing for her life when she was choked until she could barely breathe.
As she called 999, Cantrill chillingly told her: “Snitches get stitches”.
At time, he was subject to a community order over an attack on his own mum and an assault on police.
Cantrill was placed into care as a baby but left aged 17 to become a MMA fighter.
He also went into the army for two years and also worked as a teaching assistant.
In the latest hearing at Plymouth Crown Court, Judge Robert Linford said he recognised Cantrill’s name and remembered the TV programme about him.
Cantrill told him he is a member of a boxing club in Manchester that is trying to teach kids to deal with problems in a “fist fight rather than with knives and guns”.
He has been remanded into custody ahead of sentencing.
A RISING influencer has left fans doing a double take after her famous TV star dad made a rare appearance in one of her TikTok videos.
The Hollywood actor made a rare appearance alongside his daughter as they shared the sweet father-daughter moment.
Severance and Step Brothers actor Adam Scott reenacted a famous Kardashians scene with his daughter, Francesca “Frankie” Scott.
Frankie, 16, shared a TikTok with her dad to her 17.1k followers with the caption: “Me informing my dad of my weekend plans.”
She lip-synced to the famous sound of Kim Kardashian explaining her “busy week” to her former brother-in-law Scott Disick.
Fans were left stunned as her famous father rarely makes an appearance on her social media posts.
But fans also can’t believe Adam is old enough to have a 16-year-old daughter.
TikTokers went into a frenzy, with one user commenting: “How is Adam Scott my age who also has a daughter that’s my age!”
Another added: “I’m shocked Adam Scott has a daughter this old.”
A third penned: “Adam Scott is old enough to have a baddie daughter? What!”
A fourth wrote: It appears that I’ve severely underestimated Adam Scott’s age.”
Adam has been married to TV producer Naomi Sablan since 2005, and the couple share two kids – 16-year-old daughter Frankie and 18-year-old son Graham.
Adam first shot to fame back in the ’90s with his breakout role as Griff in Boy Meets World.
But it was his stint in hit comedy Step Brothers and later as Ben Wyatt – Amy Poehler’s on-screen hubby in Parks and Recreation – that made him a household name.
He’s now swapped laughs for something much darker, starring in the critically acclaimed Apple TV+ thriller Severance, where he plays Mark Scout – a man trapped in a sinister workplace secret.
Severance follows employees at Lumon Industries, where they undergo a “severance” procedure, separating their work memories from their personal lives.
This premise allows for exploration of themes like identity, control and the human psyche.
The show’s narrative, with its blend of sci-fi, thriller, and workplace drama, has captivated audiences.
The series is a massive streaming phenomenon – breaking records, amassing billions of viewing minutes and cementing its position as Apple TV+’s biggest hit.
The ensemble cast also includes John Turturro, Britt Lower and Patricia Arquette.
The acclaimed drama scored a 96 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes and has been renewed for third series.
It has built a strong and passionate fanbase with many claiming the series as “best show on TV and has a chance to be an all time great” on Reddit.
Another added: “It is definitely one of the best psychological sci fi thriller series ever created.”
A third penned: “It’s so good that I don’t see how it’s possible for season 2 to stay at this level, but we’ll see.”
BRITAIN’S top defence brainboxes have unveiled a Bond-style underwater drone designed to stop Putin’s cable-cutting saboteurs in their tracks.
The super sub can hunt out and destroy sabotage threats lurking on the seabed – by blowing them to smithereens.
Developed by the MoD’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (Dstl), it is armed and ready to protect the UK’s vital undersea cables and pipelines.
Using a remotely operated vehicle (ROV), Dstl’s boffins have added cutting-edge sensors, cameras, and explosive systems to high-tech underwater robot.
That way, operators are able to spot unexploded bombs, place charges remotely, and safely neutralise the threat — without risking Royal Navy divers.
John, a Dstl explosives engineer, said: “This technology would be a valuable toolset for keeping our Armed Forces safe whilst providing the public with value for money.
“This unique capability with its sensors, tools and cameras will give operators a real time ability to deal with these underwater hazards in a safe, effective and efficient way.”
The underwater drone goes deeper than any diver can, staying down for far longer and working tirelessly.
It can be launched from a ship or even a shoreline, sending back sonar and video feeds to operators who remain at a safe distance while disarming explosives or fending off hostile actions.
Crucially, it’s reusable. Once a threat is neutralised, the drone sub lives to dive another day – cutting costs while keeping seas safe.
The project is also a win for British industry, supporting specialist jobs through partnerships with firms like Alford Technologies, Atlantas Marine, Sonardyne and ECS Special Projects.
Trials have already taken place in Portsmouth’s Horsea Island, Portland Harbour, South Wales and as far afield as Norway.
The Royal Navy is now developing tactics and techniques to make full use of the new tech.
The Ministry of Defence hailed the innovation on social media, calling it a leap forward in protecting sailors and vital undersea cables.
The new underwater drone arrives amid warnings about Russian undersea activity in UK waters.
In April, it was revealed that Kremlin spy sensors had been found close to British territory — believed to be tracking the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarines.
The sensors, reportedly deployed using Russian oligarchs’ luxury yachts, were discovered washed ashore and picked up by Navy minehunter ships.
Officials fear the covert operation could be part of a wider “greyzone” campaign to gather intelligence and target undersea infrastructure.
Royal Navy and RAF assets were scrambled last November when the suspected Russian spy ship Yantar was seen “lurking around pipelines and internet cables” in the Irish Sea.
Around the same time, RAF fighter jets intercepted a Russian warplane over the North Sea, and unmanned Russian underwater vehicles were also detected near communication cables.
One senior source told The Sunday Times: “It’s a bit like the space race. This is a world clouded in secrecy and subterfuge… but there’s enough smoke to suggest something is on fire somewhere.”
In March, HMS Cattistock and a Wildcat helicopter were sent to monitor the Admiral Vladimirskiy, a so-called research ship revealed in 2023 to be a spy vessel suspected of probing Britain’s power supply and internet links.
HMS Somerset and other Royal Navy units were also deployed multiple times to escort Russian vessels including a beach landing ship returning from the Mediterranean.
At least 11 internet cables in the Baltic Sea have been damaged in the past 15 months — some suspected to have been dragged by Russian ships — while surface vessels like the Admiral Vladimirskiy have continued probing waters near the UK.
In response, military chiefs are drawing up Operation Atlantic Bastion — a sweeping new patrol mission using air, land and sea forces to defend UK and Nato interests in the North Atlantic.
THE Defence Science and Technology Laboratory — better known as Dstl — is the UK government’s secretive hub of military innovation.
Based at Porton Down in Wiltshire, it’s packed with some of Britain’s brightest scientific minds, often likened to James Bond’s Q Branch.
Part of the Ministry of Defence, Dstl works behind the scenes to give UK Armed Forces a cutting-edge advantage.
From cyber warfare and AI to battlefield tech and bio-defence, it develops, tests and fine-tunes everything that keeps British troops one step ahead.
Dstl collaborates with industry, universities and international partners, but much of its work remains classified.
Its projects aren’t just for warfighting — they’re designed to save lives, protect national infrastructure, and deliver tech that punches well above its weight on the world stage.
