Titanic's final moments recreated in metaverse VR experience

Independenta day ago
The metaverse allows visitors to a new London exhibition to experience one of the most famous stories of the Titanic in VR — survivors reported that the orchestra continued to play, even as the ship was sinking.
At Legend of the Titanic, visitors immerse themselves in a 360-degree projection to witness key moments of the fateful journey, including the moment the ship hit an iceberg.
It took more than 10 months with 55 animators working on the project with cutting-edge technology to immerse visitors in every element of the Titanic.
Legend of the Titanic opens on Friday, 25 July at Dock X in Canada Water, south London.

Pamela Anderson and co-star Liam Neeson recreate iconic Titanic scene at Naked Gun premiere in Berlin after sparking romance rumours

Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson recreated a memorable Titanic scene at the Naked Gun premiere in Berlin amid rumours they are dating. The Baywatch icon, 58, and the Taken actor, 73. appeared at the UCI Luxe East Side Gallery on Thursday for the latest screening on the promotional trail. The pair star in the upcoming crime spoof comedy film together, with Pamela playing Beth and Liam portraying Frank Drebin Jr. Following in the footsteps of his bumbling father, Detective Frank Drebin Jr. must solve a murder case to prevent the police department from shutting down. Rumours have been swirling recently that the pair are seeing each other, however it has been suggested since that they merely have a close friendship. The chemistry between the pair is clear to see as Pamela shared a photo on her Instagram of the two messing around on a boat. In the video, Pamela acted as Rose during the iconic scene in the Titanic, as Liam held her waist from behind in the role of leading man Jack. Pamela looked stunning in a dark green strapless gown which featured a neck scarf. Liam wore a grey suit and looked smart as he hugged her from behind. She penned as the caption: 'From the London to Berlin… this tour has been full of smiles, laughter, and so much love... Thank you to everyone who came out to giggle with us (and watch on the big screen). NYC next!' On Tuesday, the alleged couple couldn't keep their hands off each other during the red carpet premiere in London. Fans have been unsure about the status of the co-stars' relationship after Liam admitted he 'loved' Pamela earlier this year - ahead of the film's release on 1 August. They further fuelled speculation as they put on a passionate display, cosying up on the red carpet. For the outing, Pamela stunned in a strapless purple gown with a flowing train and accessorised with dainty dazzling jewels. The pair appeared in good spirits as the actress planted a sweet kiss on Liam's cheek while they posed for the cameras. It comes after Liam joked that his favourite part of making the film was filming 'the sex scenes' with his co-star Pamela. He joked about their intimate scenes as The Sun reported the pair were given an intimacy co-ordinator on set. The star explained: 'I'd never had one before. But she was in the background. There was no kind of, 'OK! Excuse me!'. Pamela portrays a nightclub singer, who comes to Police Squad for help following the murder of her brother, in Akiva Schaffer's slapstick comedy continuation. Pamela added that the intimacy co-ordinator knew when to walk away and joked that she stormed off, with Liam claiming she threw her hands up in the air and said, 'I can't take this! This is too hot for me. I'm going for coffee'.

Gregg Wallace breaks silence on racism claim against MasterChef co-host John Torode

GREGG Wallace has defended his MasterChef co-star John Torode against racism allegations in an exclusive interview with The Sun. A BBC report which upheld 45 of 83 allegations of bad behaviour against Wallace also upheld a claim that a second person used a racial phrase once several years ago. 4 4 Torode later confirmed to The Sun that this allegation referred to him, but denied that it had ever happened. He followed Wallace in being sacked by the BBC after allegedly using a racial slur when repeating lyrics from rapper Kanye West's hit Gold Digger at an after-work ­gathering. Read Gregg Wallace's exclusive interview here But in an extensive interview with The Sun - in which Wallace also tearfully addresses the slew of complaints of bad behaviour made against him - the former greengrocer leaps to the defence of his co-star. Gregg exclusively told The Sun: "I'll tell you one thing right now: John Torode is not a racist. "I've known John for 30 years and he is not a racist. 'And as evidence of that, I'll show you the incredible diversity of the people that he has championed, MasterChef winners, over the years. "There is no way that man is a racist. No way. And my sympathies go out to John because I don't want anybody to go through what I've been through.' Wallace was sacked by the Beeb after an investigation upheld 45 out of the 83 allegations made against him. The bombshell inquiry, carried out by law firm Lewis Silkin for production company Banijay, unveiled a litany of complaints against him. Most of them involved inappropriate sexual language and humour and a further 10 were made about other people - two of which were substantiated. Wallace, who was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder during the seven-month probe, went on to add that he is "relieved the Banijay report fully recognises that my behaviour changed profoundly in 2018". Torode began presenting the BBC cooking contest alongside Wallace in 2005. Gregg and John celebrated the show's 20th anniversary in 2024 with a special dinner at Fishmongers' Hall in London. 4 4 MASTERCHEF SCANDAL TIMELINE 2005 to 2011: Problems with MasterChef began way back in the mid-2000s, with 27 substantiated claims made against host Gregg Wallace regarding alleged incidents in this period, according to a report by law firm Lewis Silkin. Most of these were related to sexually explicit comments, although one allegation of unwanted physical contact in this period was also substantiated. The same report found there was a failure by the production company to retain records of any actions taken during this time. 2012 to 2018: Another 17 allegations were upheld from this period, according to the report. The production company behind MasterChef investigated an allegation about Wallace's behaviour in 2015 - but he was not made aware of the complaint. In 2016, the production company merged with Endemol, introducing more formal policies as well as regular training and anonymous reporting lines. The BBC intervened in response to a complaint in 2017, after which Wallace was then warned to change his behaviour. 2019 to 2024: One substantiated complaint about an inappropriate comment was from this time period. November 2024: Wallace faces allegations of inappropriate sexual comments from 13 people across a 17-year period on a range of TV shows. He steps away from presenting MasterChef while Banijay - the show's production company - announces it will conduct an external review to 'fully and impartially investigate' the claims against him. Some of these allegations included Wallace 'talking openly about his sex life, taking his top off in front of a female worker saying he wanted to 'give her a fashion show', and telling a junior female colleague he was not wearing any boxer shorts under his jeans'. Banijay UK also confirms it has appointed law firm Lewis Silkin to lead the investigation into Wallace's alleged behaviour. December 2024: Wallace posts a video on Instagram which claims accusations against him making sexual comments towards staff and guests have come from 'middle-class women of a certain age'. His remarks are widely panned as "inappropriate and misogynistic', causing Wallace to apologise for any 'offence' or 'upset' he caused with his remarks, saying he will 'take some time out'. Co-host John Torode says he 'loves being part of' the show and 'will continue to be a part of it'. July 8 to 9, 2025: Wallace is sacked as MasterChef presenter following an enquiry into his alleged misconduct by Banijay. In an Instagram post, the former greengrocer claimed he had been cleared of the 'most serious and sensational accusations' against him, ahead of the published review. He also said he recognised that some of his humour and language was inappropriate 'at times' and apologised for this. July 14, 2025: Lewis Silkin publishes its report, on behalf of Banijay. It says that a total of 45 out of the 83 allegations made against Wallace during his time on the show were substantiated, including one allegation of 'unwelcome physical contact'. It concludes that the 'majority of the substantiated allegations against Wallace related to inappropriate sexual language and humour', adding that 'a smaller number of allegations of other inappropriate language and being in a state of undress were also substantiated'. In the wake of the report's findings, Banijay says that 'Wallace's return to MasterChef (is) untenable'. July 15, 2025: Co-host Torode is sacked after allegedly making a racist remark while on the show. BBC bosses axe the TV host and slam an "extremely offensive" term, which was raised in the bombshell report into Gregg Wallace's "inappropriate behaviour". Torode says the comment - which the report attributed to an unnamed person - referred to him, but added: 'I have absolutely no recollection of this, and I do not believe that it happened.'

Britain's Got Talent judge 'QUITS' show - with major star 'lined up' as their replacement

Bruno Tonioli has reportedly 'quit' Britain's Got Talent as a judge after two seasons on the ITV show. It has now been suggested that singer and boxing star KSI is in discussions to take over the position, according to The Sun. Bruno, 69, who previously judged Strictly Come Dancing, joined BGT in 2023 following David Walliams ' departure. Despite reported efforts from show boss Simon Cowell, 65, to convince him to remain, conflicting commitments with Bruno' Dancing With The Stars gig in the US are said to have made it impossible to continue. A source told the publication: 'Bruno has officially quit Britain's Got Talent and they are hoping that KSI will replace him. 'He absolutely loved being on the panel with Simon, Alesha Dixon and Amanda Holden but Bruno just can't juggle his schedule with filming. 'There is no bad blood and Bruno is leaving with a smile on his face.' MailOnline has contacted Bruno's representatives for comment. Sources close to the situation have confirmed the line-up for next year is still purely speculation. KSI, who stood in on the most recent series as a guest judge, won viewers hearts on the latest series. Previously addressing chatter about KSI to become a permanent judge, Bruno showed he wasn't phased. He said: 'We're both young, attractive, multi-talented stars known the world over. 'Joking aside, I think KSI is fantastic — a real charming man full of energy. We attended the BRITs together too, which was a fabulous evening.' It was recently revealed how the auditions for the next series of Britain's Got Talent will take place in just Blackpool, in October. Viewers saw the show kick off in February this year, with episodes airing each Saturday night, replacing the traditional nightly episodes. Bruno replaced David Walliams who departed the show under a cloud in 2023 The live semi-finals - which usually air nightly over the course of one week, were also shown on Saturday nights. During the series, Bruno raised eyebrows after swearing live on air in the final. Host Declan Donnelly was forced to apologise to ITV viewers after the Italian choreographer uttered the bad language before the 9pm watershed. The ex-Strictly star was giving feedback after comedian Joseph Charm's performance when he said: 'We were just p***ing…' before quickly correcting himself and apologising. The incident forced Dec to issue an on-air apology, as he told viewers: 'Apologies if you were offended by Bruno's slip of the tongue there.' The remark was made during a live broadcast, which falls under strict rules preventing swearing before the 9pm watershed. Bruno who joined the ITV talent show two years ago later clarified that he and the other judges had simply found the act very funny. Some fans took to X to respond to Bruno's blue language, with some vowing he should be 'sacked' whilst others felt it was the 'best part' of the whole night. They penned: The ex-Strictly star was giving feedback after comedian Joseph Charm's performance when he said: 'We were just p***ing…' before quickly correcting himself and apologising Some fans took to X to respond to Bruno's blue language, with some vowing he should be 'sacked' whilst others felt it was the 'best part' of the whole night '#BritainsGotTalent # BGT I'm not offended by Bruno saying p*****g, I am irritated by him constantly shouting and jumping his feet all the time!'; 'Bruno nearly saying p*****g themselves laughing at what we don't know #BGT'; 'Bruno dropped a minor swear klaxon! #bgt'; 'A lovely swear from Bruno. #BGTFinal #BGT #BritainsGotTalent'; 'I'm sorry but Bruno swearing on Britains Got Talent has got me in stitches even 15 minutes after, so funny so funny #BGT';
