Celebrity SAS Who Dares Wins slam show over convicted drug smuggler's appearance
Celebrity SAS fans have been left reeling over one 'celebrity' as they claim the choice to have a convicted drug smuggler as a contestant on the show is 'disgusting' As the new series of Celebrity SAS returned to our screens again on 3 August, fans have been left reeling over one 'celebrity' as they claim the choice to have Michaella McCollum as a contestant on the show is 'disgusting'. Michaella first made headlines as one half of the so-called Peru Two after she and Melissa Reid were arrested at Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima, Peru, on 6 August 2013. Their luggage contained £1.5m worth of cocaine, and Michaella spent three years behind bars in one of South America's toughest prisons before being granted early release. Now 32, she is stepping back into the spotlight in the new series of Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins, alongside the likes of Rebecca Loos and Conor Benn, however, fans are not pleased. It comes after Sir Michael Palin says he is preparing for the end of his life in sad update. Last week, Michaella appeared on ITV's This Morning and was met with criticism. Fans of the show took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their thoughts on the celebrity lineup. One person wrote: 'The bookers for @thismorning #thismorning and #CelebritySAS should hang their heads in shame for booking a drugs mule. How on earth does that give them celebrity status!! And what message does it send to young people? Shocking.' Another person penned: 'Hey, @Channel4, how come this criminal is being allowed to profit from her drugs mule crime on the 'celebrity' edition of SAS Who Dares Wins?' While a third added: '#thismorning I don't consider a convicted drug smuggler to be a celebrity, which is a fair enough reason for Michaella McCollum not to be a contestant on #CelebritySAS'. Another unhappy fan wrote: 'I've never missed a series, but I'm sitting this one out. Having a convicted drug smuggler classed as a celebrity is disgusting and sends the wrong message to young kids, plus it's insulting to the others taking part.' Ahead of appearing on the show, Michaella opened up on how she has changed and grown as a person. She said that signing up for the show was able to help her take back control of her life. She told the Mirror: 'I feel like in my younger days, I made lots of mistakes, so then I was really cautious of doing things, because I didn't want to mess up again. I didn't want to mess up, I didn't want to make any more mistakes. "But we can't live life like that, because we're always going to make mistakes, we're always going to make bad choices, obviously not as bad a choice as I made previously, but it's okay to make a mistake. "I had got to the point where I was just refusing to do a lot of things because I was scared. What if I mess it up? What if I take this job and it doesn't work out? What if I move to this place and it doesn't work out? I was just a little bit afraid of making those decisions. I felt stuck. So I guess that was the main thing for me, to try and learn to overcome that. 'I was at the point in my life where I was just stuck in my comfort zone, and I thought this is a good way to break those barriers and do the things that scare me, and maybe that will help me in the future with decisions and just different things in life.'

Shakira to perform in Peru Monday after Sunday cancellation due to hospitalization
LIMA, Feb 17 (Reuters) - Pop star Shakira will perform in Peru on Monday after cancelling a Sunday show due to being hospitalized, the singer announced on social media. After being hospitalized for most of Sunday due to an "abdominal issue," Shakira said that the doors of the stadium will open at 1600 local time (1900 GMT) and the concert will begin at 2025 Lima time. She was scheduled to perform in Lima on Sunday and Monday as part of her "Las mujeres ya no lloran world tour." Shakira said in a social media post that she went to the emergency room on Saturday night but did not give any details about the abdominal issues. "People who had tickets have already gotten their spirits back, as they feel happy to be able to enjoy this show today," said Isabela Torres, a fan outside the National Stadium in Lima. The singer arrived in Peru early Saturday morning, almost a decade after her last performance in Lima, and was greeted by hundreds of fans who packed the Jorge Chavez International Airport in Lima.
