Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay launches music career and bid for number one after it's revealed he's in talks for Big Brother
IBIZA Final Boss Jack Kay's fame is shooting to new heights as the Geordie lad launches a music career. With a bid for number one after it was revealed he is in talks for Big Brother, Jack Kay, 26, is featured in a brand new dance track released on Spotify - and his fans are already loving it. 5 The Ibiza Final Boss - Jack Kay - has launched a music career Credit: instagram/@ 5 He shot to fame after an Ibiza clothing brand shared a video of him dancing Credit: Pixel8000 5 Jack's unique look captured the attention of a flock of fans Credit: Pixel8000 Shooting to fame on social media when an Ibiza clothing brand shared a video of him dancing, the Newcastle-based lad is now a recognisable face. Social media users instantly loved Jack's unique look with his bold haircut and gold jewellery. He was quickly branded as the "Ibiza Final Boss" and hasn't looked back since - embracing it entirely. "Final boss" is a joke from the gaming world used to suggest someone is the ultimate version of a particular stereotype. After a flurry of internet attention, the Final Boss dramatically revealed himself in an interview with The Ibiza Times. "I am the Ibiza final boss. Jack Kay. Get to know," he said. The words Jack spoke now feature in a brand new song. Jack has teamed up with Carnao Beats to release a track called Ibiza Final Boss. The song is bouncy and upbeat, making it perfect for clubbing or dancing in Ibiza. Fans have already gone wild over the new track. Ibiza 'Final Boss' parties at £9million mansion in Ibiza with bikini girls "Don't know how this happened but sounds great," said one person, reacting to the tune on social media. "This is absolutely brilliant. It's nice to see an ordinary bloke have a bit of luck! "Make the most of it and wish you all the best of luck with your journey," penned a second. "So sick," added a third. "Actually a banger this track," wrote a fourth. "Tunes a banger," said a fifth. This comes after Jack's viral fame caught the eye of ITV2's Big Brother casting team. This then led to conversations about him joining the upcoming series. A source told The Sun recently: 'The Ibiza Final Boss has really captured the nation's imagination and is exactly the kind of character that makes for a fun Big Brother housemate. "Bosses had talks with his management, it is very late in the casting process for housemates but everyone thought worth a chat whether it be in time for this series, even as part of a task, or for the future. 'Jack's reps Neon Management have been inundated with offers for him so he's certainly going to be busy for at least the next few months. 'They've seen an unprecedented level of interest in him, and that's the nation loves him.' This also comes off the back of the lad revealing he was going on a nightclub tour to cash in on his fame. 5 He shot to fame thanks to his unique haircut Credit: Pixel8000

Dublin Influencer's American Husband Stunned by Ballyfermot Bash
A Dublin influencer's husband has gone viral after she dragged him to a very Irish street party in her hometown. When an American thinks of coming to Ireland, they think of the green fields, cobblestone pubs and, for some reason in the big year of 2025, some believe that leprechauns and pots of gold are still a thing. And while some eventually have the illusions shattered after visiting, only a select few would be lucky to experience what Dublin influencer Hayley's husband Austin had — after he was brought to a street party in Ballyfermot. @ @DJ george mc lit up the street! @No plan b #fyp #ballyfermot #dublin #irishcomedy #pov #ireland #irish #dj @Austin Prebula ♬ Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom!! – Vengaboys Outside Lam's takeaway (one of the several in the area), the party had everything — a DJ set, kids bouncing around, and for some reason a literal horse being led through a crowd by a group of children. Hayley, who's previously been on the TRY YouTube channel, filmed the video for her TikTok — where she proceeded to pan over to Austin, who's face said it all as he couldn't comprehend what was happening. Hayley shared clips of the street fair, which included a horse and DJ in front of the Chinese. Pic: Hayley/TikTok People thought that the video and culture shock was gas, with one person commenting 'the horse and all. Ya couldn't have planned it better!' 'Doesn't everyone have a horse at their street parties?' one joked, while another commented that it was 'just a regular day in Ballyfermot.' Hayley's husband, from America, was in for the culture shock of a lifetime. Pic: Hayley/TikTok Hayley boasts over 132,000 followers on TikTok, and married her husband Austin back in March. She's a regular contributor on the TRY channel, where she's tried everything from craft cocktails to 'pistachio flavoured everything.' Where should she bring him next? Bag of cans on the canal? The Square Tallaght? The possibilities are endless.

EastEnders Avani in heartbreaking baby twist
It comes as fans have been left raging over the controversial baby storyline EASTENDERS Avani's baby storyline takes a heartbreaking twist, leaving Sukii devastated. Over the last few weeks, viewers have watched Suki (Balvinder Sopal) try to manipulate teenage Avani (Aaliyah James) into having her baby – just so she can raise it herself. Advertisement 4 Avani's pregnancy storyline has come to a heartbreaking end for the teen Credit: BBC 4 Eve goes behind wife Suki's back in the latest episode Credit: BBC 4 Avani reveals her heartbreaking news to Suki Credit: BBC 4 Suki is left devastated by the events of the latest episode Credit: BBC Eve (Heather Peace) was left gobsmacked after discovering Suki's shocking plan to adopt Avani's baby. Furious, she lashed out, accusing her of manipulating the teen and calling her some pretty harsh words. But in a bizarre U-turn later that same night, after Avani had a heart-to-heart with Eve, she somehow managed to talk her round. However, things have no come to a head in the latest episode of EastEnders, which has already dropped on the iPlayer. Advertisement Those tuning in tonight will see Suki became suspicious of Avani and Eve when they make an excuse to go off together, unaware they are going to an abortion clinic. Worried about lying to her wife, Eve says: "I think we should tell Suki, I don't think I can keep something this big from her because we've promised to be honest with each other." After terminating her pregnancy the tearful teen tells Eve she wants to find her mum Priya and tell her the truth. "I just really want my mum. I want to tell her everything," she cries. Advertisement The pair head home and Suki soon arrives back to, and she receives the news that Avani has had a termination. Confirming the news, she says: "There is no baby." EastEnders fans SWITCH OFF slamming 'worst episode' as backlash grows to controversial pregnancy storyline Suki then turns to Eve who says she is "sorry". Meanwhile, the controversial storyline has received a huge public backlash. Advertisement Last week fans were left fuming, with many slamming the plot as "abysmal" and asking, "What the hell did I just watch?" Viewers have slammed the storyline as 'unrealistic' and 'garbage', with some even vowing to ditch the soap for good. Most complained about soap storylines Over the years, all three of the main soaps have featured plots that have had even die-hard fans reaching for their phones and laptops so they can get in touch with Ofcom and complain. Here are just some of the most scandalous... EastEnders baby theft: 13,400 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2011, EastEnders was flooded with complaints when Ronnie Branning (RIP) swapped her baby for the dead son of Kat Moon. The storyline drew the most number of objections in the soap's long history and saw it roundly criticised by campaigners - with 13,400 flying in over the course of the storyline. Some viewers called it 'distressing' and 'horrific' but Ofcom ruled the scenes were not "unduly disturbing'. Emmerdale dog-napping: 550 Ofcom complaints - Back in 2016, Ross Barton and Charity Dingle came up with a plan to steal a dog and hold it ransom - but viewers didn't like it one bit. The nation's pet owners rose up, insisting the storyline would encourage copycats (not to mention copydogs). Complaints over two episodes totalled a staggering 550 and soap writers quickly learnt you don't mess with animal-lovers. Coronation Street double murder: 546 Ofcom complaints - Marginally less people complained about a gruesome double murder than objected to a dog-napping plot when Pat Phelan was at the centre of a spate of killings. First he forced Andy Carver to shoot dead Vinny Ashford - and then Pat killed Andy. All the bloodshed back in 2017 proved to be too much for some viewers, who lodged complaints in vast numbers about the 'violent scenes'. Taking to an online forum, one fan wrote: "Avani seems to have had a personality transplant. Does she not remember her step-grandmother has already raised 4 children? This is not her chance." Another said: "The Suki storyline being positioned as some sort of heart-warming tale of motherhood and not the coercion and abuse story that it actually is so inappropriate." Advertisement To make matters worse, the same episode saw Patrick (Rudolph Walker) suddenly spiral into a gambling problem, despite two decades of betting without a hitch. Viewers were left scratching their heads and branding the writing "tedious" and "a challenge to watch." One said: "I hate how Patrick has gambled for 20+ years and now all of a sudden it's a problem." Another added: "Patrick has gambled since the first day Yolande met him. Now it is a contrived part of the plot for her to call off the wedding. Advertisement "None of the stories make sense and it is a challenge to watch." EastEnders is available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
