Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STRICTLY Come Dancing has been hit by furious backlash from fans after struggling to sign female celebrities following the abuse scandals. Last year professional dancers Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima made sensational exits from the show after facing serious allegations from former show partners. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 Dani Dyer is one of the celebrities taking part in this year's Strictly Credit: Shutterstock 4 She'll be joined by Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison Credit: Shutterstock 4 Giovanni Pernice quit the show after allegations from Amanda Abbington Credit: PA The line-up for the new series of Strictly Come Dancing was revealed today - but eagle-eyed fans quickly noticed the lack of women. Writing on social media, one said: 'Seeing full line up they really struggled getting women to agree then, outnumber 6/9. 'Even for the money, not worth the ordeal the series has become or damage to mental wellbeing.' Another said: '9 men and only 6 women guessing they struggled to get female celebs to sign up again there's gonna be a lot of women pros on the bench.' And a third added: '9 men / 6 women again? What is going on?' The female stars taking part this year are Love Island winner Dani Dyer, former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison, EastEnders' Balvinder Sopal, model Ellie Goldstein, actress Alex Kingston and footballer Karen Carney. They're joined by rugby player Chris Robshaw, footballer Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, RuPaul's Drag Race star La Voix and YouTuber George Clarke. Finishing the line-up are Neighbours legend Stefan Dennis, Gladiator Harry Aikines Aryeetey, former Apprentice candidate Tom Skinner, Good Morning Britain's Ross King and actor Kristian Nairn. It's the second year running Strictly has reportedly struggled to attract female stars. One TV executive told the Mail: "Usually it is the women who are more keen. Not only is it an opportunity to get dressed up but appearing on Strictly is also much more fortuitous for females' careers than men's. Big Brother star slams Strictly signing Thomas Skinner in shock rant fuming 'kiss my a***' "But word has got around that it isn't exactly a walk in the park, so getting them has a been a lot more challenging. "There have been many conversations about how this is dealt with but the immediate problem is this year's cast... There has been lots of swearing and frustration."

Yellowstone icon's dark '10/10' thriller lands release date and first look images
Another gripping thriller series from the creator of Yellowstone is gearing up for its fourth season Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan's hit thriller starring a Marvel icon has just released a first look at the highly anticipated fourth season. Plus, fans now finally have a release date to add to the calendars, and there's not too long to wait. Paramount+ have announced this week that Mayor of Kingstown season four will be premiering on the streaming service on Sunday, 26th October. This riveting crime drama follows Jeremy Renner as Mike McClusky, the right-hand man to his brother who acts as an unofficial 'Mayor' of the fictional Kingstown, where the business of incarceration reigns supreme. When his brother dies in the very first episode, Mike is forced to take over, leading his powerful family as mediators between Kingstown's inmates, cops and gangs. Season four will be adding an iconic name from prestige crime dramas, The Sopranos' Edie Falco, who'll be portraying Nina Hobbs, the new warden of Kingstown's maximum-security prison, Anchor Bay. Also joining the cast is The Walking Dead's Lennie James, The Gilded Age's Laura Benanti, Hugh Dillon, Taylor Handley, Tobi Bamtefa, Derek Webster, Hamish Allan-Headley and Nishi Munshi. A synopsis for the upcoming season reads: 'In season four, Mike's control over Kingstown is threatened as new players compete to fill the power vacuum left in the Russians' wake, compelling him to confront the resulting gang war and stop them from swallowing the town. 'Meanwhile, with those he loves in more danger than ever before, Mike must contend with a headstrong new Warden to protect his own while grappling with demons from his past.' If you're not already caught up on the hit thriller, take these next couple of months before season four premieres as the perfect opportunity to catch up. Fans have given Mayor of Kingstown overwhelmingly perfect 5/5 scores on Google, with one reviewer writing: 'Jeremy Renner is perfect. His supporting cast is so good they could all have singular story lines of their own. 'I'm so impressed. Can you tell? Ha! By far one of the best modern dramas I've binge watched in YEARS. Possibly, EVER.' Another five-star review said: 'Very few television shows draw my attention so quickly and have me invested in its characters. Jeremy Renner gives an Emmy worthy performance in every episode.' They went on to describe each episode as a 'movie experience' and concluded the series has the 'same caliber of all around excellence' as Netflix's crime hit Ozark. And a final fan raved: 'I absolutely love this series and give both seasons 10/10. 'It's very well acted and you get invested in the characters. It's gripping and extremely binge worthy addictive.' Will you be saving the date for Mike McClusky's long-awaited return to screens? Mayor of Kingstown season 4 premieres Sunday, 26th October on Paramount+.

Book festival defends itself over working class 'stitch-up' claim
In the post on X, Mr McGarvey, 41, said: 'I know I'm not a big deal in grand scheme of things but this is now the second book I've had out and no invite to come and do an event, at my home country's flagship book festival.' 'The point is that this is draped in diversity and inclusion but you can't get in there unless you have a publicist or an agent or are highly networked. So it's a stitch-up, it's an industry stitch-up. 'There's a conveyor belt that comes from publishers and publicists and agents who lobby months in advance to get their artist or writer in so there's people out there who've written bloody good books – poetry books, fiction, non-fiction – but they don't have a structure around them so they have no chance and most of them are working class.' In his interview for The Herald, Mr McGarvey also talked about his Fringe show inspired by the new book, which explores the price he's paid for writing and speaking about his struggles with addiction to drink and drugs. Talking to The Herald about public policy on drugs, Mr McGarvey said public policy wasn't helping people addicted to drink and drugs and criticised The Thistle safe drug consumption facility in Glasgow, saying that it would 'prolong misery'.

But for a lot of folk it will be prolonging misery when if we had rehab more available, people could go in and try to get into a rehab and get sober. 'I think we suffer from the bigotry of low expectations in the drug sector because resources are so stretched, we say that recovery, complete sobriety, is beyond certain people because they're too chaotic. But part of the reason they're too chaotic is because the services are in shambles.' The Edinburgh book festival has also attracted controversy recently for failing to invite gender-critical writers such as the authors of The Women Who Wouldn't Wheesht. The poet Jenny Lindsay called it 'discrimination' but Jenny Niven, the festival's director, has justified it on the grounds that discussion of the subject is 'extremely divisive'. Read more: National Library accused of 'cowardice' over exclusion of gender-critical book Mark Smith: How Scotland's institutions shut women down A spokesperson for the festival said that because of Darren raising his concerns about his inclusion in the festival, they had approached his publicist at Penguin Randomhouse and both Mr McGarvey's team and the festival were keen to see him on the programme in 2026. The spokesperson said: 'There is a significant issue of inequality and access for working class writers within the publishing industry and wider cultural landscape. "This issue is well-documented, and as well as impacting the income and opportunity for individual writers, it impacts the diversity of stories being told, which disadvantages readers and audiences too. 'With the current decline in literacy rates, the book festival is committed to widening access to all of our programmes. Disadvantage begins early, which is why we provide free tickets and travel to children from schools in areas across Scotland with a high index of multiple deprivation. 'Earlier this summer we launched a new programme working long term with five Edinburgh libraries, including Streetreads, who work directly with people experiencing long term or temporary homelessness. Our aim is that people who discover the book festival through these programmes will be more likely to write their own stories, or come to the festival as readers, which in time will contribute to a more equitable industry.
