Shamed Prince Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson join Charles on holiday despite humiliating revelations in tell-all book
It comes after the Duke's behaviour was panned in Andrew Lownie's book Entitled ON ONE'S HOLS Shamed Prince Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson join Charles on holiday despite humiliating revelations in tell-all book DISGRACED Prince Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have joined King Charles for his Balmoral summer break — despite new revelations in a tell-all book. The pair are staying half a mile from the King at seven-bedroom Craigowan Lodge, one of the late Queen Elizabeth's favourite boltholes and within walking distance of a nine-hole golf course. 3 Prince Andrew and ex-wife Sarah Ferguson have joined King Charles for his Balmoral summer break Credit: Getty 3 The King's brother will stay at Craigowan Lodge, despite new revelations in a tell-all book Credit: Getty Daughters Beatrice, 37, and Eugenie, 35, and their children are expected to join them later. It comes after the Duke's behaviour was panned in Andrew Lownie's book Entitled — and nine months after he was banned from Christmas at Sandringham amid links to an alleged Chinese spy. An insider said: 'The Balmoral invitation is a huge show of support.' Prince William and Kate and their three children are also due to attend, along with Prince Edward and wife Sophie and their two kids. The summer break at the Scottish estate is the only time except at Christmas that the entire Royal Family get together. Charles and Queen Camilla, there for the next three weeks, will also be visited by PM Sir Keir Starmer next month. Last week, The Sun revealed Andy had the hump with speed bumps being built around his Royal Lodge, in Windsor. He angrily asked one workman: 'What the f*** are you doing now?'

Ofcom reject 14,000 Love Island complaints over bullying and gaslighting after ‘most complained about series in 4 years'
LOVE Island will not be investigated by Ofcom - despite receiving more than 14,000 complaints about misogyny, bullying and mentally abusive behaviour. The last series of the show, which was won by Toni and Cach, was inundated with complaints throughout - making it the most offensive in four years. 4 Ofcom will not be taking action about any of the Love Island complaints Credit: Eroteme 4 Meg was accused of bullying during her time on the show Credit: Shutterstock Editorial In just one week of the show Ofcom received 9,000 complaints about alleged bullying behaviour towards Shakira. It was the second most complained about Love Island week in history - the first was season seven when Faye Winter kicked off after Casa Amor with total of 29,101 in just one week. Despite viewer's concern, the regulator will not be taking any further action. A spokesperson said."We carefully assessed the complaints we received about this series of Love Island. "We recognise that emotionally charged or confrontational scenes can upset some viewers. "But, in our view, negative behaviour in the villa was not shown in a positive light, and contestants were seen supporting or apologising to each other. "We also took into account that the format of this reality show is well-established, and viewers would expect to see highs and lows as relationships and friendships are tested." Ofcom received 14,167 complaints about the ITV reality series, including 24 about spin-off show Love Island: Unseen Bits, with the highest number of complaints coming on July 24, which saw 3,549 complaints relating to alleged bullying behaviour towards contestant Shakira Khan. Other complaints related to further alleged bullying of Khan, as well as fellow contestants Toni Laites, Yasmin Pettet, Meg Moore and Helena Ford, concern over contestants' mental health throughout the series, and Dejon Noel-Williams's behaviour towards Meg. Further complaints were made about the show's producers bringing contestant Megan Forte Clarke back onto the programme after she was dumped from the villa, and alleged race and gender based discrimination. Love Island's 12th series ran from June 9 to August 4 and Toni Laites and Cach Mercer took home the £50k, while Khan and Harry Cooksley finished as runners-up.

Maura Higgins cashes in with new Stateside job just weeks after filming The Traitors US
The presenter has already carved out an impressive career accross the pond MAUR WORK Maura Higgins cashes in with new Stateside job just weeks after filming The Traitors US MAURA Higgins has landed another job in America just weeks after taking part in The Traitors US. The Irish presenter, 34, will be hosting a newly commissioned Aftersun for the upcoming Love Island Games after impressing bosses on the regular show. 4 Maura Higgins will be hosting Aftersun for Love Island Games Credit: Getty 4 The star has launched a very succesful career stateside Credit: Getty Advertisement Maura took the helm for Love Island USA's sister show, which airs on streaming service Peacock in the US, for its fifth season last year and is now heading to Fiji for her next gig. An TV insider told us: 'The first series of Love Island Games didn't have an Aftersun sister show as it was pre-recorded and aired at a later date, but this time around for season 2 it will air in real time like the regular show does. 'As a result, bosses have commissioned an Aftersun series to run as a companion show and it will be fronted by Maura Higgins, who hosts Aftersun for the regular Love Island USA. 'Maura was thrilled to be asked to do it, as Games is a totally separate show so there was no guarantee she would be offered it. Advertisement "When bosses approached her, she was over the moon because it proves how happy they are with her and she is seen as a key fixture in the Love Island USA family.' The source added: 'Her stateside career is going from strength to strength and comes off the back of her doing Traitors US. Maura would love to spend more time doing work in the US and it feels like this is the next step to that.' Maura recently returned from Scotland where she filmed the show with the likes of Real Housewives stars Lisa Rinna and Caroline Stanbury. The next series of Love Island Games is set to start filming next month in Fiji. Advertisement The show features stars from the various editions of the show all living together - and unlike the original format of the show, the stars have to compete in various challenges to win. Maya Jama hosted the first series but has now stepped down and has been replaced by Vanderpump Rules star Ariana Madix.
