Scots wrestler who lived in his car with his dog now a rising ring star in USA
Meet the former Motherwell carer, Luke Scouler, turned wrestling star taking America by storm. A former Scots carer who once lived in his car with his dog is now making waves across the Atlantic as one of the rising stars in American wrestling. Luke Scouler, 33, from Motherwell, better known by fans as Crixus, and he's quickly become one of the breakout stars of Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) — the same promotion that launched WWE legends like John Cena and Batista. Nicknamed the Scottish War Machine, Luke's journey has taken him from sleeping in a gym car park to headline matches in the US, including casket matches and cage fights. He made history as OVW's first-ever Scottish champion, and now appears regularly in the cult promotion recently featured in the hit Netflix documentary Wrestlers. Before the body slams and bright lights, Luke had worked as a fitness instructor and in residential care for young people at Inspire Scotland. 'I really loved that job. But it was tough emotionally,' Luke said. 'I've always had a bit of a Batman complex - I thought I was going to save everybody. 'I was in a bad place with it. I knew it wasn't for me and I was burned out. I was in a bad place and I remember sitting in my house in Newmains watching TV with my dog, Odin, when wrestling came on and I just thought: 'Screw it. Let's go.' Scots have made it big in this business – why couldn't I?' That same night, he packed up his car, grabbed his dog, and drove through the night to enroll at a wrestling academy in London run by former WWE star Al Snow , who is now OVW's head trainer. 'I drove through the night with no plan and no place to stay. Me and the dog slept in the car for a bit,' Luke recalled. 'Eventually the guy who ran it asked if I was serious. I told him I'd already quit my job and left my house. That was it. We moved into the gym and didn't go back.' After topping a 300-person wrestling combine in 2019, Luke earned a coveted spot at OVW. But his momentum was stalled when the pandemic hit, forcing him back to the UK for two years. Now, fully based in Kentucky, he's cementing himself as one of the promotion's leading names.

You're battle-ready by the time you leave primary school, so wrestling comes naturally to us,' Luke said. 'I'm a smartass cheeky b******, and the accent helps too. Over here in the States, people already think we're mental which helps. I just turned my personality up to 11. I wasn't pretending to be someone else — just the version of me you probably wouldn't want to sit next to in a pub. I get to act like an a**** and they still love me. They boo you, but they're cheering underneath.' His rise comes during what insiders are calling a golden period for Scots in pro wrestling. Joe Hendry , from Edinburgh, appeared at WrestleMania this year, while Drew McIntyre , from Ayrshire and also an OVW alumnus, became Scotland's first WWE Champion in 2020. OVW head coach Al Snow, himself a former WWE European and Hardcore Champion, believes Luke could be next. 'With the success of Joe Hendry and Drew McIntyre, Scotland is increasingly a potential source of talent. ICW did amazing things. I know Grado — though don't tell him I said this — but he's incredibly charismatic and doing so well across TV, radio and stage,' Snow said. 'With Crixus, we may have another superstar on our hands. His dedication has been incredible. To make it in this business, you have to sacrifice and do things out of the ordinary. And that's why I think he's got what it takes.'

Sydney Sweeney shares cryptic post after American Eagle woke backlash
set tongues wagging as she shared an image following the widespread backlash over her American Eagle denim campaign. The actress, 27, who stars in the brand's latest ad with the tagline 'Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans,' found herself at the center of controversy when critics accused the company of promoting 'Nazi propaganda.' However, Sydney kept fans guessing after posting a photo of a bouquet of pale pink roses with a white heart sticker attached. In the campaign visuals, the actress models various denim looks. In an accompanying video, Sydney buttons up her jeans and reflects: 'Genes are passed down from parents to offspring, often determining traits like hair color, personality, and even eye color… my genes are blue.' A second advert sees the camera pan down Sydney's chest as she models a plunging denim jumpsuit. She muses: 'My body's composition is determined by my genes...' before exclaiming: 'Hey, eyes up here' as the camera cuts back to her face The ad has divided fans, however, with one critic calling the clip 'one of the loudest and most obvious racialized dog whistles we've seen and heard in a while.' Taking to social media, many expressed their shock at the messaging. Outraged fans penned: 'So Sydney (& American Eagle) somehow expect audiences to not interpret this visual as a euphemism for eugenics and white supremacy?' 'The Sydney Sweeney American Eagle ad campaign is just modern day Nazi propaganda. Like it's wild how blatant it is. Things are weird right now, man.' 'The most nazi part of the Sydney sweeney add for me was the use of the word offspring.' 'Jeans (Genes) are past down from parent to offspring' 'My jeans (genes) are blue' 'Sydney Sweeney has great jeans (genes).' Nothing is ever a coincidence, this is eugenics.' Yet many were quick to defend Sydney, branding the backlash 'unhinged'. They shared on X/Twitter: 'I'm not sure how to say this nicely but if you think a jeans ad with a pun about Sydney Sweeney being pretty is a nazi dogwhistle you genuinely need to put the phone down for a while.' 'Everyone is seriously reading too much into this and y'all need to go take a hike or something because sydney sweeney is literally just promoting jeans, not 'nazi propaganda.'' 'The claim that Sydney Sweeney's American Eagle ad is pro-eugenics because of a 'good genes/jeans' pun is genuinely unhinged. It's a denim campaign, not a manifesto. Not every blonde with blue eyes is a Nazi. Some of you need a history book - and a nap.' 'You guys don't have to like Sydney Sweeney or the ways she promotes herself but don't you think comparing those Jean commercials to nazi propaganda is a tad extreme?'

Strictly star addresses show 'curse' after huge change in marriage
EXCLUSIVE: Former X Factor star Fleur East tells of the emotional difficulties she faced making her West End debut in Tina - and why Strictly did wonders for her marriage She's currently wowing audiences in the West End with her searing portrayal of late superstar Tina Turne r at London's Aldwych Theatre. But Strictly star Fleur East has told how the emotional difficulties of the role pushed her to the brink and caused her to break down in front of the entire cast and crew. In an exclusive interview with OK!, the 37-year-old reveals that acting out the raw scenes of domestic abuse between Tina and her husband Ike left her feeling triggered. 'During rehearsals I did the hospital scene in front of the entire company and I just broke down and I was sobbing, just sobbing,' she says. 'I guess it allowed me to tap into the emotions of losing my father, I just really sobbed." The star, who recently confirmed her new career goals now she's a mum, added: 'But the director thanked me for allowing myself to be vulnerable in front of so many people, because apparently it's very hard to do. I am very green to acting.' Fleur, who is mum to 16-month-old daughter, Nova, lost her father Malcolm at the beginning of lockdown in March 2020. He died after suffering an unexpected heart attack. Tina – The Tina Turner Musical follows the pop legend's life, from growing up in the American deep south in the 1950s to becoming the Queen of Rock 'n' Roll, and has scenes of racial tension that Fleur, as a woman of colour, found distressing. 'There's a lot of language from the time that's used, including the N-word, and in the beginning when that was said to my face in rehearsals, even though it was in character, it was really hard.' But Fleur also says she takes great inspiration from Tina's life journey. 'Her story shows that a woman's career doesn't have to be over at 40 — in fact Tina's career took off in her mid-forties. There can be an ageist attitude in showbiz that it's all over at 40, but at 40 women are in their prime. If you'd told me a year ago that I'd be performing in the West End a year after giving birth I would have laughed. But Tina's a great example that you can still keep pushing and still make it happen." Former X Factor competitor Fleur, who shot to fame as a solo act on the ITV talent show in 2014, will continue playing Tina until September, after which she'll return to her role hosting Strictly Come Dancing spin-off show It Takes Two , alongside Janette Manrara. Having also competed on Strictly , finishing as a runner-up in 2022 partnered with Vito Coppola, Fleur, who has been married for six years to French fashion designer Marcel Badiane-Robin, knows only too well the rumours of the show's famous 'curse'. But the singer has some advice for upcoming contestants. 'The way to avoid the Strictly curse is to stay attached to whatever your reality is,' she says. 'Because with all these shows — Strictly , the jungle and so on — it's really intense and it's like a bubble and it's easy to think, 'Oh this is my life.' But it's not real. When I was on Strictly my husband and sister came to every single live show for three months, they were the two in the audience, every single night.' In fact, for Fleur, the show helped spice up her marriage, and she says that far from falling victim to the curse, the chance to shine was a tonic for their relationship. 'For me and my husband,' she says, ' Strictly put the spark back into our relationship because you're feeling really fit and your partner's watching you perform at the weekend and because of the amazing wardrobe and make-up team you're looking amazing. It makes you fall in love with each other again because there's an element of when you're seeing your partner excelling at something they do, you go, 'Oh yeah, that's my partner,' and it makes you proud of them.' The Walthamstow-born star comes from a close-knit family and since the death of her father, she has grown even closer to her mother, Irene, and sister Keshia, with whom she has a haircare brand, Kurl Kitchen. Indeed, Fleur says that her family keep her grounded and she avoids the pitfalls of fame by involving them in all her career decisions. 'Whenever I have an offer I always sit my family down and tell them all about the opportunity. We discuss the pros and the cons and I listen to what they have to say. My husband is a fashion designer and I often wear his clothes on the red carpet. It's really important to involve my family in my journey.' Brought up in the 90s in a mixed-race family — her mother is from Ghana and her late father was English — Fleur says she was delighted to see Meghan Markle join the House of Windsor. 'When Meghan married Harry, that was such a big deal in our family, because my mum used to joke when I was growing up that she wanted me to marry Prince William. She'd say, 'One day you'll marry Prince William,' and I'd say, 'Mum, there's zero chance of that.' So when Meghan married Harry, we all thought, 'Wow, this is major.' I'll never forget the ceremony and seeing the Black priest in St George's Chapel and the gospel choir — for me it was a huge moment for the royal family.' Fleur, who described herself as 'very nervous' when she performed for the royal family at the VE Day celebrations earlier this year, hopes Meghan and Harry will come back to the royal fold and be back on the Buckingham Palace balcony one day. 'I don't really follow As Ever, but I still think it's great that Meghan is there as a brown princess. Hopefully they can patch things up with the King. There's so much we don't know, we don't know the relationships and what's going on behind the scenes.' Away from the bright lights of the showbiz circuit, Fleur is also fully immersed in motherhood, following the arrival of her daughter Nova last March. 'I had a home birth, it was hard because I had no other form of pain relief but gas and air — and the gas and air only arrived in the last few hours,' she recalls. 'It was very tough — I had to tap into a whole different area of my brain to find the strength to come through it. My husband was an amazing support. I was just rolling around naked on the floor until my daughter arrived. But I do feel so lucky that nothing went wrong.' Fleur says that, thanks to her upbringing, she didn't have body confidence issues growing up, and following in the footsteps of her own mother, she's happy to be naked at home. 'As it's been really hot recently, in the house I've just been walking around naked,' she says. 'My husband was laughing at me and saying, 'Look at you, just walking around naked!' 'And I say, 'I grew up in a household with a mum who did the same.' Mum was very confident and she just walked around naked and it was never spoken about. She was never shy or conscious of her body, it was very normal to see my mum's stomach covered in stretchmarks after having me and my sister. 'Now I have stretchmarks because I've just had a baby. In a way I am very grateful to my mum for that because I never had body confidence issues growing up and now I am doing the same for my child.'
