Dermatologist delivers skin cancer diagnosis to TV host live
A Fox News TV host was left stunned after discovering he has skin cancer while live on air. Mike Jerrick (pictured), co-host of Good Day Philadelphia, brought dermatologist, Dr. Joanna Walker, on air before the pair discovered a likely-cancerous spot on the hosts' elbow.
Walker reassured him that it was 'very treatable,' as it is one of the more 'slow growing' types of skin cancer. She told the host that he would need to have the spot removed, to which he asked: 'What are you gonna do to it? Burn it off?'
'This one probably needs to be cut and stitched,' Walker said. 'What!' Jerrick exclaimed. 'And then stich me up? So this one is a very slow growing type of skin cancer, it's not gonna spread to anywhere else on your body,' Walker said. 'But it needs to be removed so it doesn't keep growing and taking over normal skin,' 'Oh, good lord,' Jerrick responded.
He further told Fox News that he was entirely shocked by the discovery. 'I did say that we should have had her bring her [micro]scope because I wanted to check out of couple of things on my arms, so that part was planned,' he said. 'But I never really thought it was going to be skin cancer.'
His co-host Alex Holley asked if he needed to make an appointment fairly soon, to which Walker firmly said that he should. 'When she blurted it out, I didn't get alarmed or anything,' Jerrick said. 'It was just like, "Oh dang, I should have done this a long time ago."' 'I was more shocked that she said she was going to cut it out instead of burn it off- that's where I got surprised,' he added.

Food influencers hit by car while reviewing burgers
A pair of social media influencers have been hit by a car that crashed through a restaurant window as they made a video review. Nina Santiago and Patrick Blackwood were recording the social media content at CuVee's Culinary Creations in Houston, Texas, when the SUV smashed through the glass on Sunday. In a 30-minute video they posted on YouTube, the couple are seen picking up their sandwich sliders – small burgers – and taking a bite just as the car hits the restaurant. Glass shatters over their food before they are knocked to the floor. Mr Blackwood quickly gets up, grabs Ms Santiago's arm and moves them out of the way. Both escaped with minor cuts and bruises. Ms Santiago, who goes by the handle Nina Unrated, has nearly a million followers across YouTube, Instagram and TikTok. She also has an OnlyFans account and often posts videos of dance routines. Mr Blackwood has a much smaller following with his wellness and food content. They share a joint YouTube channel called Unrated EX Files where they visit different restaurants, order vast amounts of food and carry out 'taste tests'. Hospital footage Ms Santiago and Mr Blackwood also included clips from the hospital where they are seen with several cuts on their faces and arms. Ms Santiagio says to the camera that she has 'glass all over her body' and holds up her arm in a bandage. She later says her 'body feels tight' and her 'head hurts a little bit' as she prepares to have stitches. Mr Blackwood called the incident the 'most scariest s--- ever' and said he was 'blessed and grateful' to still be alive. Ms Santiago does not stop filming the pair as they leave the hospital – both wearing blue scrubs – and get into a car. Instead of going straight home, the couple first stop at the restaurant to pick up their car and take a video of the front of the building, with the window boarded up. The video ends with the two creators going back to CuVee's for lunch the following day where they quickly settle in and appear to enjoy their food.

Orlando Bloom moves into £13m bachelor pad ‘which screams I'm filthy rich & single' after Katy Perry split
ORLANDO Bloom hasn't wasted any time moving on from Katy Perry. My insiders tell me the Pirates Of The Caribbean actor has relocated to Miami for a fresh start and is renting out a seaside pad worth £13million. 6 'Orlando's new house screams, 'I'm filthy rich and single',' my mole said. 'The house is a proper bachelor pad and perfect for parties and entertaining. 'Orlando is surrounded by other famous people, too. Kourtney Kardashian and her husband Travis Barker live just down the road, as well as Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis. Kevin Costner lives on the same street, too. 'It's right on the beach and Orlando has been seen there loads in the past few weeks. He seems to be settling right in and has already made friends with his direct neighbours.' Orlando and Katy announced their split last month after nine years together, with insiders revealing the Roar singer told friends it was over in January. But unlike most celebrity break-ups, which nearly always end up being very messy and very public, Katy and Orlando have been working hard to buck that trend. Since their split, they've even been seen on holiday together, with those close to them telling me they were keen to keep a strong family unit for their daughter Daisy Dove. And it's not just behind the scenes that the pair are making sure their new way of life is all sweetness and light. Orlando appeared to be the first person to have a chuckle when an AI photograph of him having dinner with former German politician Angela Merkel went viral earlier this month. Someone created the snap to poke fun at the pictures of Katy and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau having a cosy dinner in Montreal last month. Heartbroken Katy Perry told pals in January that Orlando Bloom relationship was OVER - as star removes engagement ring Two days after the pictures of Katy and Justin went online — he was spotted at her concert in Montreal with his daughter. And it was later claimed the pair had been 'texting non-stop' back in July but those close to Katy have said this had cooled off now. An insider added: 'They're both busy people — who knows what could happen in the future?' 6 The post about Orlando and Angela was reshared endlessly, with a caption that read: 'Just weeks after announcing his split with fiancee Katy Perry, English actor Orlando Bloom was photographed Friday dining with former German Chancellor Angela Merkel. 'Angela kept Orlando laughing all night — he couldn't keep his eyes off her.' Orlando posted three clapping hand emojis underneath the post, with a pal adding: 'He found it hilarious.' If these two can keep this up, they'll end up as the next Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow. JUSTIN DUPE DYLAN EXPOSED BY UNBELIEBABLE DANCING A JUSTIN BIEBER lookalike duped a Las Vegas nightspot into believing he was the real deal. The imposter, Frenchman Dylan Desclos, got up on stage at the XS Nightclub in Sin City and performed for revellers who also fell for the prankster. Dylan has now been banned from any hotel or club owned by Wynn Resorts. A company spokesman said: 'As soon as the error was recognised, he was removed from the resort and denied future entry.' After checking out Dylan's social media, it's easy to see why people thought he was the famous US singer – he looks pretty much identical. Justin's model wife Hailey has even previously said how similar they look. The only thing I clocked when I checked out the videos of that night though is that Justin can dance . . . and Dylan definitely can't. Have a look at the clips doing the rounds on social media if you fancy a laugh. KISSCAM IS STILL IN PLAY THAT brilliant Coldplay kiss-cam is the gift that keeps on giving – and Chris Martin was the first to poke fun at the scandal when the group played the first of their two sold out shows in Hull. At the sold out Craven Park stadium, Chris started to read signs – including one which read: 'Three times in three months.' 6 6 Chris said: 'You were at that Boston gig? Thank you for coming again after that debacle.' At that gig the kiss-cam footage of work colleagues Andy Byron and Kristin Cabot went viral as it exposed their affair. As the kiss-cam moved around the Hull stadium, Chris added: ' We have been doing this a long time and it is only recently that it became a… 'Life throws you lemons and you've got to make lemonade. So, we are going to keep doing it.' The band are in the third year of their Music Of Spheres world tour. To date they have sold 12 million tickets – making it the highest attended rock concert in music history. Coldplay will wrap up their epic run with a ten-night residency at London's Wembley Stadium. I first revealed Chris and co were booking in for the shows last June, with the band confirming my story just weeks later. If you've got a ticket you are in for a massive treat. I first watched this show back in 2023 and it absolutely blew me away. DOECHII has pulled out of three European festivals this week – All Points East in London and Forwards in Bristol, where she was due to sing this weekend, and tomorrow's Rock En Seine in France. It appears her PR team have tried to smooth things over, as all three festivals released near-identical statements – describing the US rapper as an 'incredible artist'. But on social media, punters who had tickets aren't feeling quite as kind as they berate her last-minute cancellation. DAD WARY OF PERRIE OX DATE PERRIE EDWARDS' family were furious when she started dating ex-England midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, because they were convinced all footballers were love rats. The LITTLE MIX star, who had split from Zayn Malik 18 months before they got together in 2017, recalled: 'My dad rang me and he went, 'You've just dated a boyband member who's completely shattered your soul and now you're going for a footballer.' 'And I was like, 'He's not like the other footballers, dad. He's really nice'. 'And he was like, 'Oh, yeah, great. I bet he is'.' On the We Need To Talk podcast she added: 'We just had this impression of footballers as cheaters. But then I met him and I was like, but he's so sweet and so genuine.' Mum's the word, Dua 6 DUA Lipa has landed the cover of Harper's Bazaar UK's Icons issue, and is celebrated in the issue alongside celebs including Kate Moss. On sale from September 4, Dua chatted about having kids with fiance Callum Turner. She said: 'I'd love to have kids one day. But it's like the question of when would there ever be a good time and how much I'd have to take. 'I love kids, but there's so much more to raising a child than just loving children.' Dua is 30 on Friday but after her wild two weeks in Ibiza, she may just need a lie down. MICHELLE BECOMES MUM TO 4 BROKEBACK Mountain actress Michelle Williams has become a mum for a fourth time after having a baby via surrogate. The Hollywood star already has a teenage daughter, Matilda, from her relationship with the late Heath Ledger but now has three youngsters too. Michelle, who is married to Thomas Kail, was on US television when she revealed the news and praised her surrogate, a woman named Christine. She said: 'I've got to give a big shout out to Christine, 'cause this last baby did not come through my body. 'But the miracle of our little girl is thanks to Christine. Maybe you're watching out there; thank you, Christine. 'Thanks to Christine, I have three under five at home.' FLORENCE + THE MACHINE announced their sixth album, Everybody Scream, which will be released on Halloween. And Norwegian pop powerhouse Sigrid has said that her third album, There's Always More That I Could Say, will be out a week earlier, on October 24. It will feature her new single Fort Knox, which debuted on Radio 1 last night.
