Special Forces enlists Jussie Smollett and Teresa Giudice for season four as fans react 'I thought he was in jail'
Special Forces: World's Toughest Test unveiled its list of 18 celebrity contestants competing in the Marrakesh-set fourth season of the quasi-military training reality show, which premieres September 25 on Fox/Hulu. Fans were mostly aghast at the inclusion of 'hate crime hoaxer' Jussie Smollett, who wisecracked to his 4.5M Instagram followers on Wednesday: 'It was at this moment I said… "I should've just done The Masked Singer."' The disgraced 43-year-old swore he was attacked in 2019 by two Trump supporters, who turned out to be his former personal trainers the Osundairo Brothers, and they claimed he hired them to pour bleach on him and put a noose around his neck in order to boost his celebrity profile. Jussie only served six days of his 150-day sentence for five counts of felony disorderly conduct before the Illinois Supreme Court reversed his conviction on November 21 citing his sweetheart plea deal with Cook County State's Attorney Kim Fox. Instead of paying the city of Chicago back its $120,106 in restitution, Smollett paid his $10K bond and completed 15 hours of community service before donating $50K to the Building Better Futures Center for the Arts and $10K to the Chicago Torture Justice Center. 'Yikes. Someone giving Jussie Smollett a platform after all the s*** he pulled is a little scary,' X user @linusvpelt tweeted in reaction to the casting. 'I thought he was in jail.' X user @venusxedus agreed: 'Why is Jussie Smollett not in jail?' 'I see that Jussie [Smollett] is still trying to reinvent himself like we have forgotten he staged a fake hate crime to become famous,' X user @toughtalkty tweeted. 'This is bleak.' X user @torturedPRdept used comedian Dave Chappelle's French pronunciation of the Empire alum's name, writing: 'The return of Juicy Smoliet! Is he gonna convince us he's a tough guy?' 'Jussie!' X user @AngelinaReagan7 exclaimed. 'He's going to pretend to get beat up by MAGA.' X user @nicoisking shared a gif of reality TV icon Tiffany 'New York' Pollard looking shocked with the caption: 'Jussie [Smollett]?!' 'Jussie [Smollett] is such a gross and unnecessary casting choice,' X user @LotsofBravo tweeted. Jussie clearly bonded on the set with his fellow contestants, Eva Marcille and Chanel Iman, who both offered him support in the comments of his announcement. Eva, who won America's Next Top Model in 2004, commented with three sunflower emojis. 'Yesss Jussie! Let's go!' Chanel, a former VS Angel, gushed. The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Teresa Giudice - whose own brush with the law involved an 11-month prison sentence for fraud - was selected to compete alongside the eldest of her four daughters, Gia Giudice. Instead of paying the city of Chicago back its $120,106 in restitution, Smollett paid his $10K bond and completed 15 hours of community service before donating $50K to the Building Better Futures Center for the Arts and $10K to the Chicago Torture Justice Center (2019 mugshot) 'Yikes.

'He's going to pretend to get beat up by MAGA' The Real Housewives of New Jersey cast member Teresa Giudice - whose own brush with the law involved an 11-month prison sentence for fraud - was selected to compete alongside the eldest of her four daughters, Gia Giudice (pictured July 8) 'So happy I got to experience this with her!' the 24-year-old nepo baby Instastoried on Wednesday. 'Definitely something you don't get to say that you have done with your mom.' Brianna 'Chickenfry' LaPaglia is best known for her October 22nd split from Grammy winner Zach Bryan, and she admitted she 'cried every day' of the grueling shoot. 'Y'all thought I was in Love Island,' the 26-year-old podcaster wrote via Instastory on Wednesday. 'While I was getting water boarded!' Sister Wives star Kody Brown - whose down to only one of his four spouses - called Special Forces 'the most exciting experience of an age' and teased: 'Tune in and watch me and my peers suffer! Wanna see me cry? No…like full on sobbing!' Other contestants for season four include Kristin Cavallari's ex-toyboy Mark Estes, Brittany Cartwright, Randall Cobb, Eric Decker, Jessie James Decker, Andrew East, Shawn Johnson East, Johnny Manziel, Ravi V. Patel, Christie Pearce Rampone, and Nick Young.

Harry's raging late-night calls over Sentebale charity crisis. Devastated Prince's rants of ‘hostile takeover' of 'life's work' and the new British target of his rage revealed by REBECCA ENGLISH
When I first visited Lesotho with Prince Harry soon after the inception of his Sentebale charity in 2006, the young royal couldn't hold back his excitement at what he hoped to achieve. Having set it up in memory of his late mother Princess Diana (sentebale means 'forget-me-not' in Lesotho's language), Harry's pride that he had managed to get this deeply personal project off the ground was clear to see. It was difficult not to be won over by his passion.

SATURDAY Kitchen star Big Zuu shared the moment he was caught in a terrifying robbery. The TV chef, 29, revealed thieves broke into his house with a chainsaw when he was just nine years old. 5 5 The Saturday Kitchen star spoke about his life-changing trip to Sierra Leone where he experienced the harrowing break-in. He began: 'My scariest experience (in Sierra Leone) is probably when I first went, first time I was in my granddad's house. We got metal bars on the window. Some brothers cut through with a chainsaw. 'They cut through the metal bars and jumped in the yard and tried to rob us. They heard my mum was in town they're like, 'hey, an English woman in the vicinity'. "So word got around. My granddad lived in a normal part of Freetown, it's not the worst, but it's not the best and yeah they cut through the bars." The star then went on to explain what scared them off, saying: 'We had a mad dog, like proper serious pagan dog. So, when they heard the dog they cut out. I was in bed, I was with my granny, I was nine, bro. I was nervous.' Big Zuu appeared as Michael Dapaah's special guest in the first ever live version of Michael's digital series, Comfortably Speaking, which was held last week at White City, London. In front of a live audience, Big Zuu discussed everything from his first love and getting married at the age of 22 down to experiencing his life-changing trip to Sierra Leone. Born Zuhair Hassan, Big Zuu is a British rapper, grime MC, songwriter, DJ, chef and TV personality from West London.

He said: 'I was 17 when I met my first partner in college and we were together for seven years. 'So, I was definitely in love. She was with me throughout the entire beginning of my career. "From when I was in college spitting bars at blue chairs trying to impress her to when I actually was doing tours and stuff. 'I met her in college, we were mad cool, and then one day I was like, 'do you want to be my wifey?'. We got Islamically married, real life. "When I was young, the most searched thing about me on Google is 'Big Zuu married'. Speaking about marriage in the future, he said: "It was beautiful, getting married is a beautiful thing.
