GMB's Susanna Reid forced to intervene after co-star's X-rated remark
Good Morning Britain co-host Susanna Reid was forced to interrupt a conversation about OnlyFans On Good Morning Britain, Susanna Reid had to step in and humorously remind her colleagues that they were live on air during a cheeky exchange. The Monday show took an unexpected turn when the panel discussed the earnings potential on OnlyFans, leaving Ed Balls particularly astonished. Kurts Adams Rozentals, a British canoeist, had earlier shared on the programme that he was raking in a six-figure income from OnlyFans, despite being barred from competition due to "allegations" concerning his social media activity. While reflecting on the sportsman's unconventional revenue stream, Ed quipped: "We are in the wrong jobs!" Amused by the thought, the former Strictly contestant chuckled: "It's amazing on the internet what you can make money from." Ed even suggested there might be a "niche" for Andrew, prompting Kevin Maguire to chime in with: "There'll be a fetish stream!" Ed, highlighting that making money on OnlyFans isn't against the law, continued: "Well, Andrew, when you find out how much money he's making, honestly, you should think about it." GB News' Andrew retorted: "I thought about it, Ed, the answer is no!" Yet, he couldn't resist making a playful offer to Ed, joking: "Are you suggesting we do it together? Are you blushing, Ed?" With Ed turning a shade of red, Susanna quickly interjected as the conversation veered off course. "This is going in a whole different direction!" she exclaimed. "Blimey!" added Kevin, before Susanna firmly reminded them with a laugh: "We are still on air, guys!" While Ed isn't keen on making waves on OnlyFans, he certainly raised eyebrows with Susanna after disclosing a saucy bikini anecdote. In 2023, he made a surprising revelation about participating in a charity swimsuit competition, boasting: "I've got to say, I looked really good." Susanna was taken aback by the unexpected viewing of Ed sporting a mankini on GMB. "Has it been censored?" she quipped, as Ed jestingly responded: "Luckily, you're not showing the bottom half!" Susanna then queried, amidst their banter, "Is that an AI mock-up?" Upon revealing the photographs, Ed shared the family rule his children set regarding the mankini—no wearing without boxers because it is "too revealing." "I'd not shaved or anything," he confided. "To those claiming it's too early... you're absolutely correct," Susanna retorted. "This'll be the amusing surprise that just keeps on giving!" Good Morning Britain airs weekdays at 6am on ITV1.

Eamonn Holmes' health woes as he concerns fans by falling off chair live on air
Eamonn Holmes worried fans last week when he fell off his chair live on GB News after battling a number of serious health issues and chronic pain for years Eamonn Holmes has sadly been battling ill health for a number of years and concerned fans last week when he fell off his chair live on TV - despite insisting he was "fine". The popular presenter, 65, was in the middle of hosting GB News' breakfast show when he crashed to the ground as the programme quickly cut to a commercial break. Eamonn, who has had two hip replacements and is plagued with chronic back pain, could be heard saying: "I'm fine, fine fine, carry on, carry on" before quipping: "I'm alive.. They're very wonky wheels on chairs we've got here, as a matter of fact we don't really like the chairs here." However, he then admitted he was in "shock" as he shared that he'd recently fallen over in his bathroom, explaining: "I'd had a fall two weeks ago in his bathroom that hospitalised me and that hit me right in the back." Just two weeks ago, Eamonn revealed he had been rushed to hospital after experiencing a fall. In the caption, the star shared: "An unexpected journey this morning ….. bit of a fall on the bathroom floor. Gosh it hurts. Not how I wanted to be spending The Holiday weekend ..... but life's not easy these days." The veteran broadcaster has had a lengthy battle with illness and operations and is now forced to use an electric wheelchair. Here's a look at what he's sadly been dealing with... Double hip replacement Eamonn opened up about his "life-changing" hip replacement, which he had in 2016, after revealing he refused the surgery for three decades. Writing for The Telegraph, he said: "Waiting was the worst decision I ever made. After having both of mine replaced seven years ago, aged 55, I haven't had a single regret: in fact, it's been life-changing." The major surgery was carried out in a bid to tackle the Northern Irishman's excruciating hip, leg and back pain he had secretly suffered for more than 20 years. Eamonn was speaking about the surgery after Oasis frontman, Liam Gallagher, said he didn't want to have the operation himself because he was concerned about the 'stigma'. However, rather than judging the Beady Eye star, the presenter sympathised with Liam, saying: "In the newsroom, when we heard that he needed the operation due to arthritis, most of my colleagues laughed. They were all tickled by the idea of a rocker like him being confronted with being 'over the hill'– but I saw nothing remotely funny about it." Eamonn went on to reveal how he'd suffered pre-surgery, saying people who don't experience severe hip, leg or back pain aren't aware of how chronic it is, or "the sleepless nights or not being able to drive, let alone do anything more physically active." Shingles Eamonn was struck down with the viral infection that causes a painful rash in 2018, saying he looked "as if someone had taken a baseball bat to my face". The star believed his severe Shingles had been brought on by a "stressful tax row", which saw him battle with HMRC over whether he was classed as staff or a freelancer as a presenter at This Morning. "It was bloody scary to see it," he told The Sun. "It looked as if someone had taken a baseball bat to my face and smashed me about a bit." More terrifyingly, Eamonn said the infection could have caused him to go blind. "Blindness could have been a complication in my case," he said. "The doctor said it's really bad for you because it's around your eyes, and could be bad for your ophthalmic nerves. Medically, it was pretty serious." Spinal surgery In 2021, Eamonn told his followers: "Those of you who follow me on social media will know [that] about a month ago I did something to my back. I don't know how I did it – getting into the car, getting out of a car, getting out of bed, whatever. I've got an MRI scan, but the trouble is, everything closes for Easter, I haven't got it analysed yet, but what I do know is, I can't sleep at night." Eamonn revealed the pain in his back intensified during the night, and urged sufferers of chronic pain to talk to each other and consult medical experts. Eventually, the star discovered the cause of his pain was due to three slipped discs, which resulted in him needed spinal surgery in September 2022. However, after the operation, there was sadly more woe to come for Eamonn... Broken shoulder The veteran presenter admitted the spinal surgery he had in 2022 has set him back rather than improved his health as he returned to air on GB News show, Breakfast with Eamonn and Isabel, after taking several months off. Looking thoroughly fed up, he told viewers: "Basically, I can't walk. I can do everything... everything above here [gesturing to his waist] works, but it's the legs." Eamonn's co-host Isabel Webster said: "The op that you had has set you back, at the moment." Eamonn replied: "Yes, it's set me back and it made me fall down stairs. My leg gave way and I fell down 18 stairs. So I fell down the spiral staircase, smashed my right shoulder." The father-of-four added: "The first thing you did was lean on my shoulder" to which Isabel laughed: "I won't be doing that again or you'll be off for another four months." Needing a wheelchair Eamonn used to rely on a mobility scooter and shared a snap of himself sitting on the vehicle, eating an ice cream while on holiday in the US in 2023. Posting the photo, Eamonn wrote: "That was me on holiday last month in USA, getting around using my mobility scooter. 13 years since my spinal fusion." Speaking to Best magazine about the backlash his post caused, he said: "Some people were mocking me on social media... 'Oh, look at Eamonn, he's in a mobility scooter!' I replied, saying, 'I would prefer if I wasn't in it but how else would I have got around?' The alternative is I don't go anywhere, and I sit in my armchair, work in the office. So, I go out... It's mentally uplifting to get out." However, he is now using an electric wheelchair, which he was seen using at Heathrow Airport last year after returning from holiday with girlfriend, Katie Alexander. Despite some cruel comments about his new mode of transport, the majority of Eamonn's followers wished him well as one said: "Hope you are keeping well Eamonn. Wishing you all the love." While another: "Hope that you can manage your pain soon".

GB News, Adolescence and the Andrew Tate fanboys
''Andrew Tate fans flood Netflix Adolescence with backlash as they claim influencer is victim of 'woke agenda',' ran a headline on GB News's website today as supporters of the unrepentant misogynist reacted badly to the streamer's latest runaway hit. The Stephen Graham drama Adolescence tells the story of a teenage boy accused of murder and delves into the world of incel culture and social media, with a character even mentioning Tate by name at one point. As a result Alex Davies, GB News's digital entertainment editor, scoured social media to find Tate fans who had been hurt by their idol's mention in the programme, including such messages as 'They'll do anything to drag Andrew Tate's name through the mud', 'That #Adolescence on Netflix is just utter woke shite' and one telling Tate that the boy accused of murder is 'is soooo fucking you. You will love him.' Davies wouldn't have had to dig too far, though, to find reams of social media posts from Tate fans hating on the programme – he could have just delved into GB News' own Facebook page! Tate acolytes and woke-haters queued up to add comments underneath the link to the story. 'The second they mentioned Andrew Tate I gave up with this show. Just another attack against him,' wrote Chris Plowman, while Carla Haywood mused: 'Andrew Tate is correct in most stuff he says. we need the old fashioned morals back. We need men to be men and women to be women.' Karen Roberts wrote that it was 'yet again people looking at far right ideologies to distract from other types of misogyny involving grooming gangs, forced marriages, etc', while Steve Russell claimed: 'The whole woke middle-class mainstream media despises Tate and would love to silence him – which is what they have been trying to do for the past couple of years.' And Marc Archer offered: 'He should sue Netflix. Another woke leftie company.' Meanwhile Jay Arnfield, who has a 'top fan' badge for the amount he has interacted with the GB News page, writes: 'The kid is from the wrong demographic background. We all know the demographic that is the problem. The Stats don't lie.' And Cathy Doherty didn't even bother to couch it in even those slightly nuanced terms, writing: 'I agree, I hope they do another one relating to the black on black stabbing that is centered around gangs.' Alas, presumably space constraints prevented Davies from including any of the comments from his own channel's social media.

Gove's future revealed: Overindulgence and impulsiveness
Mary Rees-Mogg – Jacob's 16-year-old daughter – used her Tarot cards to help former Cabinet minister Michael Gove predict his future on GB News' Chopper's Political Podcast. Gove's chosen cards told how his past had 'created something of lasting value', which is one way to describe 14 years of Tory government, while in the future he was warned to 'beware of overindulgence or impulsiveness to regain balance in your life'. Good advice now he is back in journalism. Editors' dispute There was little love lost between newspaper grandees Alan Rusbridger and James Harding when Harding defended his purchase of The Observer against criticism from Rusbridger on his Media Confidential podcast. 'You had looked at closing it,' Harding said to Rusbridger, an ex-editor in chief of The Guardian. 'Ooh – this is getting interesting,' chipped in podcast co-host and ex-FT editor Lionel Barber. The conversation moved on. But a clearly stung Rusbridger admitted he had looked at replacing the 233-year-old Sunday paper with a Guardian on Sunday in 2009. Rusbridger later got his revenge, accusing Harding of nearly quitting his Tortoise website for CNN, saying: 'You were down to the last three.' Harding replied: 'I picked up the phone.' Gentlemen, please! Unpopular Nigel Veteran actor Nigel Havers hates his first name and says no baby has been called it for at least five years. Havers, 73, star of Chariots of Fire and Empire of the Sun, says: 'I hate the name Nigel. I think it's a silly name. And it's often parodied isn't it? Often in sketches the foolish sort of hooray is called Nigel.' He adds: 'More people were christened Lucifer than they were Nigel in the past few years. That's a fact.' Is there a more unpopular Christian name? Sex Pistol's wheelchair riot An evening speaking engagement with former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon – aka 'Johnny Rotten' – in Leicester 'ended up with two women in wheelchairs fighting', the 69-year old says. 'Their husbands had their walking sticks and they were waving them about. It was bizarre. I thought 'How do you handle this one?' It was like a bingo riot. I found out it was all over their wheelchair space. I thought 'Life is full of surprises? Should I use that as a sign to give up and retire?' Then I thought 'No. I want the front row to be full of iron lungs next time.'' Wes 4 PM Downing St photographers have found a novel way of getting Wes Streeting's attention when he comes out of the famous black door. 'Morning Prime Minister,' shouted one last week. The Health Secretary gave them a winning smile. I wonder why? Ringo's memorabilia Ringo Starr's son Zak – who turns 60 this year – never asks his 85-year-old father about what it was like to drum in The Beatles. 'The only information I get about The Beatles is when my dad volunteers it. I never ask. I have not seen [Peter Jackson's film] Get Back and I would like to watch it with him,' he tells me. 'I was saving up to watch it with him and he says: 'One, I was there. Two, I have seen it, and three, it is six hours long'.' Ringo's common sense has never left him. No Anglican Conclave Following papal thriller Conclave's Bafta film success, Robert Harris, author of the original 2016 novel, rules out a book based on the present controversies engulfing the Church of England. 'It's not quite got the 'oomph', has it, of the Vatican?' Harris says. 'Lambeth Palace – very pleasant place. But it's not exactly like St Peter's Basilica.' The closet Yodeller After I reported how the Rev Richard Coles said his ambition was to be a yodeller, Lynne Nash, who is working on a new book called The Closet Yodeller, gets in touch with some tips. 'If you can find a break in your voice then it's a start. Yodelling involves repeated and rapid changes of pitch between the chest voice and the head voice,' she advises. Nash – who yodels as Yodellynne – was a closet yodeller until she 'came out' in 2007 whilst gigging at an event where every one was very drunk. 'It went down well and I've been yodelling ever since,' she says. This could catch on.
