I walked in on a porn film being made in my living room — do I move out?
But this Metro reader hasn't just heard some muffled sounds from beyond an adjoining wall — he walked into what looked like a full-blown porn movie being filmed in his living room.
The most awkward part? He's living with his older brother and his girlfriend. And after accidentally stumbling across the scene, which he thinks was for an X-rated site, he can no longer look them in the eye.
Read the advice below, but before you go, don't forget to read last week's Sex Column, about a woman who discovered her husband has a secret child.
I'm a 17-year-old lad, currently stressing over something my friends find funny, but I find pretty gross.
Basically, I recently walked in on my brother having sex with his girlfriend — it wasn't just ordinary sex either, it was more like something you'd see in a porn movie, and they were actually filming it. I quickly shut the door but he came after me and we had this ridiculous argument, with him standing there naked.
Until a few months ago I lived with my parents, but my mum was driving me mad and we ended up having a huge row. That's how I come to be living with my brother (32, by our dad's first marriage) and his partner, who I normally get on great with.
On the night in question, I was meant to be staying with friends, but due to a mix-up there was no bed for me and I came home. Obviously, my brother thought he had the place to himself, so when I walked into the living room, I got the shock of my life. I think he and his girlfriend did too. He asked me why the hell I went in when I could hear something was going on, but I was listening to music through my earbuds!

My brother said that he and his girlfriend like watching their home movies back but they don't post on any websites for others to watch. He obviously only said that to make me feel better, and it hasn't made a huge difference. I used to really like it here, but now I feel so awkward I can hardly look at them.
I can see that you have really taken this to heart, but truthfully, I'm struggling to see what the problem is. Your brother and his girlfriend thought they were alone, had wild sex and filmed it for their own entertainment. What have they done wrong?
Maybe you have always looked up to him and what he's done has damaged your perfect view of him. I'm guessing that sex doesn't play a full part in your life at the moment, and that's why this has hit you so hard. He's older and more experienced, and what he's done is no different to what many other people do – and you may do too, when you reach that stage in life.
You've already fallen out with your mother, so don't let this cause a rift between you and your brother too. Look on it this way – it's great that he and his partner are happy, loving and sexually adventurous, because that's what makes them the people they are and why you liked living with them. They probably feel as mortified as you over the whole incident. More Trending
Try to be more understanding and accept that what you saw was just a private moment that you were never meant to share. Your friends are right to see it as no big deal.
Have another chat with your brother and just acknowledge this episode for what it is – an embarrassing moment, which you'll all move on from in the fullness of time.

I walked in on a porn film being made in my living room — do I move out?
Hearing other people have sex is just one of the perils that come with house sharing.

Strictly Come Dancing winner ‘revealed' before the show even begins
The winner of Strictly Come Dancing has been predicted following the full lineup reveal. The BBC dancing competition hosted by Tess Daly and Claudia Winkleman is back for another year of emotional journeys and stunning dance routines. In recent years, the reality series has been plagued by controversies. Two former professionals on the show in Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima were removed from the (and replaced) after behavioural accusations from former partners were revealed. The recent addition of Thomas Skinner to the cast has also been widely criticised. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter.

Now, however, according to Ladbrokes, there is a clear favourite to win the Glitterball Trophy. Trailblazer Ellie Goldstein is currently leading the way to win the entire show. The model and actress is just 3/1 to win the final, having entered as an 8/1 shot on Wednesday. She is just ahead of YouTuber George Clarke, who is at 5/1 odds.

Another big mover is The Apprentice star Thomas Skinner, who has been backed into 10/1 from 25/1. Propping up the market at 33/1 are Neighbours icon Stefan Dennis and entertainment reporter Ross King. Cal Gildart of Ladbrokes said: 'With every contestant confirmed, punters have been making their favourites known. Ellie Goldstein has waltzed her way to the head of the betting, but it's tight at the top.' This comes after beloved pro Gorka Marquez confirmed he would not be competing this year. The Spanish dancer, 34, has been competing in the BBC show since 2016 and has been a fan favourite who placed as runner up on three separate occasions.

I'm A Celebrity icon tipped to return as hotly anticipated All Stars takes shape
The I'm A Celebrity… South Africa all-stars series is officially returning to ITV later in 2025—and several legendary jungle stars are in talks to come back. Starting in 2024, I'm A Celebrity… South Africa reunites old campmates from the ITV game show. This time, however, they're trading the Australian jungle for the desert. Last series saw the likes of Shaun Ryder, Gillian McKeith, Helen Flanagan, Phil Tufnell, and Jordan Banjo giving up luxuries for a gruelling challenge once more. The competition was ultimately won by Myleene Klass, who had originally finished second during the show's sixth series almost 20 years ago… but now, some more famous faces are coming for her crown. According to new reports, the latest former campmate being eyed up by bosses is none other than Ashley Roberts, whose first Jungle stint came in 2012. Wake up to find news on your TV shows in your inbox every morning with Metro's TV Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your show in the link we'll send you so we can get TV news tailored to you. Speaking of a potential return from the Pussycat Doll, 43, a source teased that there could be some very memorable scenes from her, thanks to one key element of the camp. 'Producers would love to see Ashley head back to camp. She's warm, hilarious, and, of course, drop-dead gorgeous. 'Just like Myleene Klass, who won the first All Stars series back in 2023, Ashley had some iconic moments soaping up in the outback waterfall,' they told The Sun. But that's not all, as a former fifth-place contestant is also looking set to go back, just three years after first taking on the dreaded trials. Reportedly keen for more, comedian Seann Walsh, 39, previously used the programme to redeem himself after his Strictly Come Dancing kissing scandal four years prior. A TV insider explained to The Sun that trying to claw back some of his reputation was 'no mean feat', given that 'he'd been branded an aggressive gaslighter as a result of his fling with Katya (Jones) and his treatment of his girlfriend.' 'Yet he managed to emerge as one of the more popular campmates and actually finished in a respectable fifth place in the contest,' shared the source. 'Part of the reason why he came across comparatively well was because he went into I'm A Celebrity with an even bigger love rat. 'His entry into the camp was alongside former Health Secretary Matt Hancock, who was at the centre of an exclusive in The Sun revealing he had had an affair with a political adviser, Gina Coladangelo, in 2021.' But the rumour mill doesn't stop spinning there, as beloved King of the Jungle Harry Redknapp is also said to be close to signing on the dotted line with ITV bosses. As per The Sun, Harry, 78, who became the oldest-ever winner in 2018 and was paid £500,000 for his stint, will fly back out for round two in autumn before the series airs in the New Year. 'It's going to be a real coup,' a source told the paper. 'Harry is TV gold and was first on the list of wannabe celebrity contestants.' The football icon's win in the main series was watched by 11million people, with the nation reduced to tears as he was reunited with his wife, Sandra, on the bridge after, having frequently declared his love for her while in camp. Harry's first run for Jungle champ made him one of the programme's high earners, but the likes of Coleen Rooney and Nigel Farage still come out on top, having received a mega £1.5million for their signings. And Harry's people are remaining tight-lipped on his career plans currently, as a spokesperson for the sports star said in response to the rumours: 'This is speculation.' Meanwhile, there's another huge name already attached to the upcoming South Africa series… and it's Gemma Collins. The Towie star and TV personality, 44, is one of the most treasured personalities on British TV, and ITV is apparently hoping she'll boost viewing figures again this time around. Gemma infamously only managed three days in the Jungle when she was last on the show and made no secret of how much she hated every second. 'People who murder get treated better than this,' she famously said before quitting. 'That's the truth. Even a murderer gets fed three times a day.' Gemma's tears and tantrums gave social media a meme collection that still gets used today, so it's no surprise she's wanted back. A source told The Sun previously: 'She hated it first time round, but knows it would be TV gold for her fans if she gave it another go. 'The discussions could go either way, but signing her would be a huge win for execs.' For Gemma fans hoping she'll give I'm A Celebrity a second try, the recent rumours line up very nicely with comments the Dancing On Ice star made in 2019. Speaking on The Jonathan Ross Show, she said: 'I will never forget getting the call. Looking back, I don't feel I was ready for that show. I was new to TV; I was the underdog on Towie. 'I wasn't the best-looking girl, I didn't have a model figure, I was this car girl from Romford selling cars. I was being put in the Jungle, and in hindsight, I wasn't ready for it.' She continued: I felt hugely out of my depth—I was petrified. If I was to go back now, I've got more experience. I've got a tougher skin now, and I think that's where the GC came into play. If they asked me back, yes, I'd go back.' Things didn't get off to a good start when Gemma went into the jungle in 2014, firstly refusing to parachute into camp with the rest of her teammates. She then withdrew due to panic attacks and later said that her ex-boyfriend, Alexander Moss, had 'severely beaten' her the night before she joined. The reality star said that ITV advised against her entering at first, but Gemma insisted she didn't want to waste the opportunity of a lifetime. Alexander, now 44, was eventually jailed for 21 months in 2019. Gemma told the Everything I Know About Me podcast: '[There was] all the embarrassment of like, you know what the TV programmes were saying, 'Gemma Collins left the Jungle, she was hungry, she was this.' And it wasn't my fault. More Trending 'I can remember lying in my flat where I lived and just thinking, I just want to die. I haven't done anything wrong. I've left the Jungle because of something that happened to me.' ITV has been contacted for comment. I'm a Celebrity… South Africa will return to ITV1 and ITVX early next year.
