Christopher Biggins defends Gregg Wallace by making bizarre claim
Christopher Biggins, 76, has defended sacked MasterChef host Gregg Wallace by stating he used to "grab women by the t***ies," claiming it was considered "affection" 25 years ago. Biggins, who is gay, joked that such actions would now lead to imprisonment, suggesting that people are "terrified" and comedians face a tough job. Refuge ambassador and former Love Island star Sharon Gaffka criticised Biggins' comments, stating: 'Touching someone without their consent, regardless of the context, is never funny'. Gregg Wallace's position on MasterChef became "untenable" after an investigation upheld 45 of 83 allegations against him, including inappropriate sexual language and unwelcome physical contact. John Torode, Wallace's co-presenter, was also sacked after a complaint against him involving an "extremely offensive racist term" was upheld.

Horror as Boardmasters revellers are left dangling upside down after huge fairground ride breaks down during festival
TERRIFIED Boardmasters festival-goers were left dangling upside-down for 20 minutes after an amusement ride at the event broke down. The horrifying incident took place earlier this weekend, as thousands of Brits headed down to Cornwall for the festival. 3 The ride is designed to be a one-armed swing, with people sat at each end. When it is activated, festival-goers are thrown around in a circle. However, this time, the ride got stuck. One thrill-seeker filmed the breakdown on unfolding, captioning the video: "Apollo 13 broke, with people stuck at the top for 20 minutes." He had just missed out on getting onto the ride, as he was still in the queue when it broke down. After he shared the nailbiting footage on TikTok on Friday, it has been shared more than 500 times. Fans flooded the comment section, as they spoke about how scared they would have been if they were on the ride. One person commented: "No, imagine being stuck up there and it starts to move because of the wind…". Another said: "I saw this happen from my house and I thought the ride was shut." One even revealed that they were on the ride at the time, writing: "I was stuck up there." 'It was carnage!' slams mum over Boardmasters crowd surge that hospitalised 7 & saw 100s of kids in tears Boardmasters Festival has been approached for comment about the incident. Meanwhile, the festival had a huge line-up with incredible stars taking to the main stage. Noughties icon Nelly Furtado performed a slew of dance hits including Maneater and I'm Like a Bird. She appeared before Central Cee headlined the event but the singer-songwriter had gathered a huge crowd of her own. Over 50,000 Brits headed to the festival which takes place every year in Newquay. Ahead of the festival CrossCountry warned that roads leading to the area would be jammed. CrossCountry said: "Boardmasters Festival is located in Newquay, and you can get to Newquay station easily with CrossCountry. "The simplest way to get to Newquay using CrossCountry services is to change at Plymouth station. "From Newquay station, shuttles run to the festival every fifteen minutes on Wednesday, August 6. "Using the CrossCountry network, we expect Plymouth station to be the busiest connecting station. "We expect festival attendees to be travelling through Plymouth on Wednesday, August 6, and Thursday, August 7, and again on Monday, August 11, when passengers are travelling home. "If you are travelling around Plymouth on these days, services may be slightly busier than usual." 3
