Mark Wright 'signs up for much-loved television show' with cast rumoured to include Molly-Mae Hague and JoJo Siwa - three months after the birth of his first child with Michelle Keegan

Mark Wright has reportedly agreed to appear on the next instalment of Celebrity Bake Off. The reality TV star, 38, will be joining a star-studded cast on the much-loved Channel 4 show, with Molly-Mae Mague and JoJo Siwa two of the celebrities rumoured to have signed up. If the speculation is true, it would mark the radio host's first television appearance since the birth of his daughter Palma Elizabeth in March, who he shares with wife Michelle Keegan. Filming for the show, which is set to air next year, is believed to have already finished. A source told The Sun: 'Mark has had his hands full being a new dad but he found time to film for the new series of Celebrity Bake Off. 'It's a cause close to Mark's heart as it's all for the Stand Up Cancer charity and he is a big fan of the show. 'It won't air until next year so fans will have to wait a good few months to find out how he fares in the tent.' After the most recent series of Celebrity Bake Off finished in March, speculation about the possible cast for next year's follow-up has been rife. While both Molly-Mae and JoJo have been rumoured to enter the tent, Babatunde Aleshe was the latest star to have reportedly signed up last month. The 38-year-old previously featured on I'm A Celeb in 2022. A TV insider told The Sun: 'Babatunde is guaranteed to be hilarious and will no doubt have plenty of banter with Paul, Noel, Caroline and Alison. 'He's not known for his prowess in the kitchen so there's sure to be some panicky moments laced with the good humour he's known for. 'His energy on the Gogglebox sofa has always been pure positivity and very infectious, and bosses are hoping he'll bring that to the tent.' Former Love Island star and influencer extraordinaire Molly-Mae's rumoured inclusion would mark her long-awaited return to reality TV. A source seemingly confirmed speculation about her appearing on the show, saying: 'She will be a great addition to the line-up and bring a healthy helping of Love island glamour to the tent. 'Molly's now one of Britain's biggest TV stars and has seen her fame steadily grow since she first appeared on the ITV dating show back in 2019.' Mark's decision to join Molly, JoJo and Babatunde in the tent comes after 'the biggest achievement of his life', welcoming his new-born with Michelle, 38. Having married in 2015, it wasn't until a decade later in March of this year that the couple announced the birth of their first-born. It's thought that they chose the name Palma because of their strong links to Mallorca, which has been their go-to holiday destination for years and the setting of their pregnancy reveal photoshoot. Appearing on his Heart Breakfast show with Olly Murs a few days after his daughter's birth, Mark recalled the moment he got to hold her for the first time. The former TOWIE star said: 'Mate, it's actually hard to put into words. 'It's the biggest achievement of my life it's all I think about but obviously, hats go off to my wife she is an absolute superhuman, a superhero for bringing this baby into the world.' Sharing his appreciation for Michelle, he added: 'It makes you realise what our mums did for us and makes me have so much more respect than I already had and what women had to go through. 'It's the best feeling in the world. I wake up every morning just so excited to see her face.' He continued: 'That moment when I held her in my arms, it gets me emotional now thinking about it. 'I suppose everything else goes out the window and its made me realise what life is all about and my little baby Palma I love you so much and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you.

Love Island star Tina Provis slams Cierra Ortega's apology for use of anti-Asian slurs on Love Island USA as she reveals childhood pain

Tina Provis has slammed Love Island USA contestant Cierra Ortega's apology for repeatedly using an anti-Asian slur as she calls for people not to 'brush off' instances of 'casual racism'. The Love Island Australia winner, 29, penned a lengthy post to Instagram on Thursday after Cierra, 25, was booted from the Love Island USA villa due to mounting backlash over her use of the slur 'chink' in past social media posts. 'Love Island USA removed a contestant for a racist slur that resurfaced online. Let's talk about why this is important,' Tina began in her post. 'In my experience, Anti-Asian racism has always been quickly brushed off. 'The same people that want to fall back 'but I didn't know it was racist' are the SAME PEOPLE complaining when you make a stand up and point out why something is racist,' Tina said. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. On Wednesday, Cierra issued an 'accountability' video, in which she said she is 'truly deeply sorry' for using a racial slur and reiterated that she 'didn't fully understand' the meaning behind the offensive term. 'I do not, and have never, condoned racism or the repression of any cultural group in any form,' Cierra wrote. 'I would never intentionally use any word, especially a slur, to tear down anyone's culture or community. When I used that word, I didn't fully understand what it meant or how much pain it carries.' The backlash against her began earlier this month, when fans discovered two social media posts (from January 2015 and February 2023) in which Cierra had described her own smile as 'chinky' and said that she wanted Botox for her eyes. Tina, who won Love Island Australia in 2021 with her ex-partner Mitch Hibberd and has also starred on I'm A Celebrity! Get Me Outta Here, questioned how Cierra could not have known the meaning of the word. 'If you're calling out an ethnic groups features as undesirable, it is racist,' she wrote. 'If we continue to let comments slide because they 'aren't that racist' or 'they didn't meant to be racist', then we're excusing and encouraging a culture of casual racism.' The Chinese-Australian then revealed how 'insecure' anti-Asian slurs made her feel about her appearance whilst was growing up in Sydney. 'There was a time where my eyes were one of my biggest insecurities, because from an early age I faced casual racism,' Tina said. On Sunday night's episode which streamed on Peacock, narrator Iain Stirling confirmed that Love Island USA contestant Cierra Ortega (pictured) 'left the villa due to a personal situation' and had left Nic Vansteenberghe 'officially single' By the time she was 18-years-old, Tina turned to heavy makeup in attempts to alter her appearance because she'd so often hear friends say they 'looked Asian' if they didn't like a photo of themselves. 'If I was getting dressed up, I never would be seen without dark eyeshadow, attempting to 'hide' my eyelids and I would've screamed seeing a picture of myself like this without false lashes,' she said. Tina also recalled being teased in primary school, including one incident where a male classmate chased her around the playground whilst pulling back his eyelids. 'I've come a long way in becoming confident in my identity and that's why I have these conversations, I want other young people to feel the same,' Tina concluded in her post. However, Tina said she's not surprised by the sheer volume of people defending Cierra online. 'I'm not shocked to see that a lot of people online are defending her, because the slur that she used is "not as bad" as other racial slurs,' she said. 'There are hundreds of comments of people claiming that they didn't even know it was a derogatory comment, which just goes to show how anti-Asian racism is downplayed and tolerated much more than it would be in other communities.' Cierra is the second person to be removed from Love Island USA this season over past remarks, with Yulissa Escobar abruptly outsed for using the N-word in past social media posts.

Major blow for 'border breacher' owner of Chapel Street bar as it collapses owing over $800,000

A once-popular cocktail bar on Melbourne 's iconic Chapel Street has closed its doors for good after it went bust owing more than $800,000 to creditors. Morris Jones, founded by restaurateur Hayden Burbank, officially entered insolvency on June 26 with Justin Howlett of SMB Advisory appointed as administrator. Morris Jones had announced its closure in March, calling the decision 'heartbreaking.' 'The hospitality industry is facing unprecedented challenges and it has become incredibly difficult to sustain business in this current climate,' the statement read. 'We are all deeply saddened by this situation. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all our loyal customers for their love and support over the journey.' Burbank, who rose to prominence for both his hospitality ventures and his public controversies, stepped back from daily operations in November 2021, resigning as a director of Bambou Restaurant Pty Ltd, the company behind the venue. His mother, Antoinette Burbank, is listed as the current director, while Hayden remains the sole shareholder. The collapse follows a string of challenges for Burbank, who in 2021 was given a suspended six-month jail sentence in Western Australia after faking documents to illegally travel to Perth during a Covid lockdown to watch the AFL Grand Final. Burbank is also known for his relationship with Married At First Sight star Belinda Vickers. The couple announced their engagement in February 2024. Their relationship blossomed after he spent 90 days behind bars at WA's maximum-security Hakea prison, which earned him the jailhouse nickname of 'border breacher'. Hayden described his experience at one of Australia's toughest jails as 'the ultimate game of Survivor'. 'You have to form alliances and not do anything stupid and get through each day by day,' he told the Saturday Herald Sun in March 2022. 'They are the longest days of your life. I'm not built for jail. Nobody is built for jail.' Hayden added he shared a cell with one of the prison's top dogs, a bikie, who would wake him up each morning and taunt: 'Border breacher, border breacher'. The restaurateur hosted a farewell party at the closed-down venue, which reportedly upset former staff who alleged they were owed unpaid wages. Financial records reveal the company owes $62,589 to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) and $8,681 in WorkCover liabilities. Several suppliers are also out of pocket, including Cambridge Cellars ($9,992), MRC Builders ($160,458), Hosp Management ($16,251), Moorabbin Marble & Granite ($15,675), Saunders Events ($15,739), and Kresta Blinds ($8,528). In addition to suppliers, several private investors are listed among the creditors. These include Andrew Murphy, owed $58,400, Brad Putzier, owed $60,000, and Daniel Barlow, owed $69,600. Despite Burbank taking a step back from day-to-day operations in 2021, he is listed as the only employee owed money from the company, with claims totalling $59,711 in unpaid wages and $30,289 in long service leave. The collapse follows a number of other Melbourne venues including Asian fusion restaurants Kekou and Klae. The venues in the inner-city suburb of Richmond entered liquidation earlier this year. The businesses had debts exceeding $1.3million, including an estimated $50,000 in unclaimed vouchers and $400,000 owed to the ATO.
