Stacey Solomon: ‘I wasn't expecting Joe to kiss me — it got awkward'
Joe and I met very briefly when I won I'm a Celebrity in 2010. Joe says he was already in love with me but I didn't think anything about it. We met a couple of times after that but the big one was in 2016, when I was a guest on Extra Camp, theCelebrity spin-off show he was hosting in Australia. Although there was some serious flirting going on, I thought it was just us two having a nice chat.
It was only on the last day, as I was waiting for my taxi, that the penny dropped. Joe came to help with my bags and stepped in to kiss me. I wasn't expecting it and things got a bit awkward. He panicked and

Yellowstone favourite bids farewell to Western as he appears in huge Netflix drama
WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Netflix's You season five. You season five brings Joe Goldberg's story to a close, but it's the appearance of a Yellowstone favourite that has Netflix subscribers buzzing. Joe Goldberg (portrayed by Penn Badgley) has been wreaking havoc in Netflix's You since 2018, with season five marking the beginning of the end for his reign of terror. After returning to New York with his new wife Kate Lockwood, played by Charlotte Ritchie, he encounters aspiring writer Bronte, played by Madeline Brewer, three years later. It doesn't take a genius to predict that she was destined to be his next romantic interest. However, in a surprising twist, it turns out that Bronte is actually catfishing Joe, attempting to expose him as she believes he murdered her friend Beck, played by Elizabeth Lail, which he did, back in the first season. Netflix's You season five villain Dane Robinson is played by Yellowstone star Jefferson White. (Image: NETFLIX) She and her friends manage to capture footage of him killing Dr Nicky's son Clayton, played by Tom Francis, while defending Bronte and they post this video on social media. There are many familiar faces who share their stories about Joe online, but there are some men who vent their anger at Bronte for deceiving him initially. One of these men is Dane Robinson, played by Jefferson White, who appears in episode seven, #JoeGoldberg, and attempts to kidnap Bronte before Joe, who was already tracking her, steps in. While initially repulsed by the character Dane, fans were taken aback when they realized he was played by none other than Yellowstone actor Jefferson White. Actor Jefferson White has played Jimmy Hurdstrom in all five seasons of Yellowstone. (Image: PARAMOUNT NETWORK) The 35-year-old is internationally recognized for his portrayal of the endearing ranch hand Jimmy Hurdstrom in all five seasons of the Paramount Network Western drama. He was slated to appear in the upcoming Yellowstone spin-off 6666 after Jimmy was sent to the famous ranch where he fell for vet Emily (Kathryn Kelly), though there has been scant news about this spin-off. In You season five, Joe and Bronte work through their issues before he presents her with a gift - Dane trapped in his signature glass box. Joe tells Bronte she can do whatever she wants with him but even after learning about his plans to assault another woman, she sets him free. Bronte doesn't want to kill like Joe but understands his perspective, leading them to a compromise. However, this isn't satisfactory for Joe and it's later revealed that he stabs Dane to death on the street, completing the task he wanted Bronte to carry out. You is available to watch on Netflix and Yellowstone on Paramount Network and Paramount+.

Inside Netflix You season 5 Easter Eggs and what went on behind-the-scenes
WARNING: This article contains major spoilers for You season five. The final chapter of Joe Goldberg's twisted tale unfolds in You season five, peppered with Easter Eggs to delight dedicated viewers. For seven years, Netflix has chronicled the chilling escapades of "romantic" stalker and serial killer Joe Goldberg (portrayed by Penn Badgley) on his obsessive quest to find "The One". In its fifth and concluding season, You finds Joe enjoying life with his new spouse Kate Lockwood (played by Charlotte Ritchie) and their son Henry in the bustling streets of New York. However, true to form, it isn't long before Joe's roving eye lands on budding writer Bronte (Madeline Brewer), triggering a series of events that lead to his undoing. As fans delve into the final 10 episodes of You, here are some hidden tidbits and fascinating Easter Eggs from season five that might have escaped your notice. You season 5 Easter Eggs and facts The Three Musketeers You season five: Joe Goldberg gave his son Henry a copy of The Three Musketeers, the same book that Paco was reading in season one. (Image: NETFLIX) Joe is thrilled to see his son Henry developing a passion for books and gives him a copy of The Three Musketeers. This is a nod to the very first season of You, where the young Paco (Luca Padovan) is engrossed in the same novel when he first encounters Joe. Maddie's husbands You season five: Pictures of Maddie's ex-husbands are of members of the crew as well as co-showrunner Michael Foley as her late astronaut husband. (Image: NETFLIX) In the opening episode, we're introduced to one of Kate's siblings, Maddie Lockwood (Anna Camp), a scatterbrained socialite with a history of three marriages. A close-up shot of her social media reveals that her three ex-husbands are portrayed by members of the You crew, and her late astronaut husband is actually co-showrunner Michael Foley. Penn Badgley's real-life partner Actor Penn Badgley is married to singer Domino Kirke. (Image: GETTY) While Joe's love life has been tumultuous, Penn Badgley has found stability with his wife, singer Domino Kirke, whom he married in 2017. Kirke's talents are also featured in the show, as her song "Teething" is played in episode eight. Catfish clue In episode five, it's revealed that Bronte has been catfishing Joe all along. A subtle hint is dropped earlier in the episode when Joe visits the diner, which has "catfish" listed as one of its daily specials, foreshadowing the twist to come. Mooney's bookstore The exterior shots of Mooney's bookstore were filmed at Logos Book Store in Manhattan . However, a replica of the façade was rebuilt at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to facilitate the dramatic burning-down scene in the penultimate episode. Love's prophecy You season five: Joe Goldberg's first wife Love Quinn predicted that their son Henry would come to know who he really is, a "monster". (Image: NETFLIX) In a previous season, Love Quinn (Victoria Pedretti) predicted that her son would eventually discover the truth about his father. This prophecy comes to pass in the final episode when Henry tells his father that he's a "monster". Dual roles Anna Camp played twin sisters Raegan and Maddie Lockwood in season five. Interestingly, Camp also had a body double who appeared as the podcaster interviewing Dominique (Natasha Behnam) and Phoenix (b) in episode 10. Henrik Ibsen Henrik Ibsen In the opening episode of season five, Bronte confesses to Joe that she snuck into Mooney's to snag a book by Henrik Ibsen. This revelation later connects to her hypothesis that Beck's (Elizabeth Lail) posthumously published novel, The Dark Face Of Love, was edited by Joe. The connection is made when "Beck" in the novel makes a reference to Ibsen, an author Bronte is certain her friend did not admire. Full circle On the directorial front, Lee Toland Krieger, who helmed the pilot episode of You, made his return to the popular Netflix series to direct the final episode. You is available to watch on Netflix.

Netflix fans floored as Gossip Girl star has unexpected cameo in You season 5
WARNING: This article contains spoilers from You season five. Netflix's psychological thriller You has wrapped up, but not before welcoming a former Gossip Girl star for a cameo in its fifth and final season. After a tumultuous stint in London during the fourth season of 'You', Joe Goldberg (portrayed by Penn Badgley) has spent the last three years back in New York with his wife Kate Lockwood (played by Charlotte Ritchie). With Kate's assistance, Joe was able to reunite with his son Henry, who was under the care of Dante (Ben Mehl) and his husband from the third season. However, Joe starts to worry that his violent tendencies may have been passed on to Henry when he and Kate are summoned to meet with the school's counsellor after Henry punches his cousin. Joe and Kate consult with Dr Val, who informs them that Henry needs to be suspended. However, Netflix viewers were left scratching their heads when the counsellor made her appearance. Dr Val is played by actress Michelle Hurd, who Gossip Girl fans might recall as Laurel from the first two seasons. Actress Michelle Hurd is behind Dr Val in You season five. (Image: NETFLIX) Laurel, a fashion photographer, worked closely with Blair Waldorf's (Leighton Meester) mother Eleanor Waldorf (Margaret Colin). Ambitious and eager to climb the career ladder, Laurel views Jenny Humphrey (Taylor Momsen), a summer intern at the company, as a potential threat. Fans of the hit series 'Gossip Girl' and 'You' have been buzzing on Reddit after noticing actress Michelle Hurd, who plays a tough boss in 'Gossip Girl', also appears in 'You' without recognizing Dan Humphrey's (Joe Goldberg) sister. A Reddit user posted a comparison of Hurd in both shows, sparking a flurry of reactions: "She didn't recognize Dan Humphrey. Did she?" Actress Michelle Hurd was behind fashion photographer Laurel in Gossip Girl seasons one and two. (Image: CBS) One fan excitedly responded: "I kept trying to search where I knew her from. Omg thank you." Others chimed in with surprise, one saying: "Omg no way", and another simply stating: "Ain't no way." Another viewer humorously suggested: "Every time I saw her, I kept screaming into the screen saying 'Joe should just kill her cuz she did Dan's sister Jenny so dirty in Gossip Girl." But it's not just 'Gossip Girl' that has Netflix viewers recognizing Hurd; she's also known for her role as Detective Monique Jeffries in 'Law And Order: SVU' in the 90s, leaving the show in 2001, and for playing Raffi Musiker alongside Patrick Stewart in 'Star Trek: Picard'. You is available to watch on Netflix.
