LEGO Masters Season 5's Big Franchise-Themed Challenges Revealed (Exclusive)
After the viewers sent Pearl and Mad Scientist Monster through to next week's finale, Coral and Boogie Woogie were left to battle for the last remaining spot in an epic smackdown set to the tune of two early 2000s throwback jams (KT Tunstall's 'Suddenly I See' and Jet's 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl').
But the results of that battle became totally irrelevant when Lucky Duck stormed the stage… with the Ding Dong Keep It On Bell! 'I've been breaking into this competition all season long, and I've decided to dust off this old lucky bell, because tonight… both of you are safe!' he revealed.
'I'm not done,' Lucky Duck added. 'The biggest surprise of all isn't that they're not unmasking — it's that I am!'

After dropping a few more clues about himself, including that he spends most of his time on major movie sets, Lucky Duck revealed himself to be… actor and filmmaker Taika Waititi (aka Rita Ora's husband)!

MasterChef ripped for ‘disgraceful' Gregg Wallace edit as clip from scandal-hit series goes viral
MasterChef viewers have accused the BBC of 'disgraceful' editing after spotting what appeared to be repeated and awkwardly cut clips of axed host Gregg Wallace in the latest episode. Wallace and his long-time co-presenter John Torode were dropped from the cooking competition last month, following nearly two decades on air, after an investigation upheld multiple misconduct allegations. Wallace faced 40 upheld complaints, including claims of inappropriate on-set behaviour, while Torode was found to have used a racist term in 2018. The current series was filmed before their dismissal, with producers confirming the pair would still appear but with less screen time and minimal screentime. Two contestants have also requested to be removed from episodes to avoid being seen alongside the former presenters. And now amid the furore, fans watching Wednesday night's episode noticed the same shot of Wallace's face, that of a fixed grin, used multiple times in quick succession. One TikTok user Gingernat Design pointed out the editing gaf, captioning their post: 'Clever editing from MasterChef. 'Whether this is to do with the allegations or not I don't know, but it's jokes how they just froze Gregg Wallace for an entire conversation.' A viral TikTok clip highlighted the repeated footage, showing Wallace's frozen expression appearing three times during a conversation between Torode and a contestant. Reactions on social media ranged from disbelief to 'awkward' and 'petty.' 'I saw this and it looked absolutely demented,' one wrote. Another commented: 'Is this for real?' while a third penned: 'I'm crying and they picked a clip where he looks SO dodgy. Not helpful at all considering the recent allegations.' Under the same clip, another user, who claimed they work in TV production, suggested that the team behind the show used an industry editing trick. 'I work in post production in UK TV (not for the BBC or on Masterchef though), and based on the turnaround time, it was probably the quickest fix they could do, ' they clarified. 'Just reuse the previous shot to cover up any cut content. The Hosts certainly wouldn't be able to be completely edited out, however, unless they reshot all their bits with new hosts and spliced them in, but that wouldn't really ever happen due to money.' The Standard has contacted Banijay UK for comment on the claims about the apparent repetitive edits. The viewer commentary comes after a second contestant was edited out of the latest series of MasterChef. A Banijay spokesperson told The Standard: 'One other contributor decided that given recent events they would like not to be included. 'We have of course accepted their wishes and edited them out of the show.' BBC News reported that the contestant has requested anonymity and will not appear in any capacity. MasterChef is available to stream on BBC iPlayer now and airs on BBC One.

‘MasterChef' Drama as Contestant Edited Out of Show Amid Hosts' Firing
The British version of MasterChef continues to be caught up in drama as new reports claim a second contestant asked to be edited out of the currently-airing season. According to BBC News, an unnamed contestant requested to be removed from the broadcast amid controversy surrounding the BBC's decision to air the season, which features hosts Gregg Wallace and John Torode, before they were fired from the cooking competitions series. 'One other contributor decided that given recent events they would like not to be included,' a spokeswoman for Banijay UK, which produces the show through subsidiary Shine TV, said in a statement. 'We have of course accepted their wishes and edited them out of the show.' This comes after another contestant, Sarah Shafi, claimed to have been edited out of the current season after she complained about Wallace and Torode. Wallace and Torode were both dropped from the long-running show over the past year after an investigation into unacceptable on-set behavior. Over 80 complaints were made against Wallace, including claims of making sexual remarks, explicit jokes, and one incident of unwanted physical contact. Torode was then dragged into the drama after claims emerged that he used a racist term back in 2018. The current season was filmed in November before the allegations came to light. Wallace was replaced by Irish chef Anna Hughes midway through the competition as the allegations went public, though the reports regarding Torode didn't surface until after filming. A debate followed over whether the BBC should air the season, a decision the network ultimately went forward with in spite of backlash. 'In showing the series, which was filmed last year, it in no way diminishes our view of the seriousness of the upheld findings against both presenters,' the broadcaster has said, per Deadline. 'However, we believe that broadcasting this series is the right thing to do for these cooks who have given so much to the process. We want them to be properly recognised and give the audience the choice to watch the series.' Wallace, who recently revealed he has autism, has continued to play down the seriousness of the allegations, telling The Sun that while he was 'so sorry' for upsetting people, he was 'not a groper, a sex pest or a flasher.' Torode, meanwhile, has claimed he has 'no recollection' of the incident in which he was accused of using a racist term, calling its use 'wholly unacceptable.'

Kate Gosselin reveals 'sickening' reason behind her return to nursing career
Kate Gosselin is revealing why she returned to her nursing career after leaving reality TV behind. The former "Jon & Kate Plus 8" star posted a TikTok video on Monday, Aug. 11, about her 12-hour day as a home health care nurse and took to the comments to respond to a fan who asked about her career change. "Honestly? Providing for 8 kids, college funds which I am proud to say covered all of their college and more and LAWYERS," Gosselin replied. She continued: "Sickening but I was drug into court constantly and that costs A TON. Sad bc my kids could have a lot more saved and I could have a retirement saved if it weren't for lawyers :(. It's okay. I'm helping other families and I feel needed and I enjoy helping!" She shared in another comment: "Raised and supported 8 kids alone and now they have enough college money to go to college and beyond! I achieved my goal but have no personal retirement 😢" Gosselin launched a TikTok last month, sharing details about her life from her love of dogs to an inside look at her hair appointment. Collin Gosselin talks growing up on 'Jon & Kate Plus 8': 'We didn't get the choice' Gosselin and ex-husband Jon Gosselin catapulted to superstardom from 2007 to 2009 on their TLC show "Jon & Kate Plus 8," which documented the family of 10's complicated interpersonal dynamics in Pennsylvania. Then, after the Gosselins' bitter 2009 split, TLC relaunched the show featuring the nurse moving on solo from 2015 to 2017 on "Kate Plus 8." In addition to "Plus 8," Gosselin has starred on "Dancing with the Stars," "Celebrity Wife Swap," "Celebrity Apprentice" and most recently appeared on Fox's military training competition series, "Special Forces: World's Toughest Test", in 2023, although she was the first celebrity to leave. Kate and Jon Gosselin's children are 24-year-old twins Cara and Mady, and 21-year-old sextuplets: Aeden, Alexis, Collin, Hannah, Joel and Leah. Kate Gosselin is estranged from Collin and Hannah while Jon Gosselin is estranged from the remaining children. Collin has spoken out in recent years about his mom having him "institutionalized" and sending him to a care facility. Gosselin slammed her son's claims in a 2023 Instagram post, writing in a lengthy note that he had "mental health issues" and exhibited "violent tendencies" toward her and his siblings in the past.
