The ‘90s TV star took exception to being grilled about his knowledge of the job he's signed up for in Trump's immigration crackdown.
Former TV Superman Dean Cain lost it defending himself from public ridicule for joining up to help with Donald Trump's nationwide immigration crackdown. 'I don't understand why you had to go a 'former, untrained actor'—I'm not untrained!' Cain, best known for his starring role in ABC's Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman, raged at former Republican strategist turned Trump critic Tim Miller. The pair got into it during a joint appearance on Piers Morgan: Uncensored after Miller—who served as Jeb Bush's comms director and is now writer-at-large for The Bulwark and the host of the outlet's podcast— questioned whether Cain is really qualified for his latest role as an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent.

Celebrity SAS' Conor Benn considered suicide after drugs ban The boxer's battle to clear his name clearly took a huge toll on his mental health Conor Benn was left distraught amid doping allegations a couple of years ago (Image: Getty Images) Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins is back on our screens for another series this week, with a number of household names set to be pushed to their limit in one of the most gruelling reality shows on the planet. As well as testing the physical and mental endurance of the celebrity line-up, the show also gives viewers a raw and honest glimpse into the personal lives Among those taking part is boxer Conor Benn, who is no stranger to pushing his body to the limit, due to his career in the ring. However, his time in the world of professional boxing has also taken a huge toll on his mental health at times. Back in 2022, weeks after his planned fight with Chris Eubank Jr was cancelled, Benn twice tested positive for women's fertility drug clomifene. He gave up his licence under the threat of a lengthy ban, but fought his case. Article continues below For 24 months Benn protested his innocence to the UK Anti-Doping (Ukad) and the British Boxing Board of Control (BBBofC), before his provisional suspension was lifted in 2024. The experience clearly caused Benn to spiral, and he candidly revealed it had even caused him to consider taking his own life. "It's hurt me," said Benn in an interview on Piers Morgan: Uncensored. "I didn't think I was going to make it through this period. I didn't think I was going to make it through." Asked if he was talking about taking his own life, Benn replied: "Yeah. Yeah, I'd say so - and it upsets me now because I don't know how I got so bad. I got in a really bad way about it. "I was shamed for something I hadn't even done. It's hard because I felt like I was on death row for something I haven't even done. "If I had done something wrong, I'm human. I'd raise my hands to it, 'I made a mistake', whatever it is, I raise my hands. Never this. "I felt seven years of hard work and sacrifice, and leaving my family and the image I maintain, was just ruined by somebody else's incompetence. It's been hard for the family." When he was eventually "cleared of any wrongdoing" the welterweight reiterated he was always "an advocate for clean sport". "This past 24 months has unquestionably been the toughest fight of my life," Benn wrote in a statement published on X. Article continues below "[It has been} a rollercoaster period within which the WBC had already decided that I was innocent and the NADP decided in the first instance that there was no case to answer and I was free to fight."

Virginia Giuffre's father says 'no way' daughter took her own life in bombshell interview
Sky Roberts revealed in an interview to Piers Morgan that there is "no way" his daughter took her own life insisting that "somebody got to her." The grieving dad of Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre has made a bombshell claim that his daughter never committed suicide. Sky Roberts revealed in an interview to Piers Morgan that there is "no way" his daughter took her own life insisting that "somebody got to her." As the Mirror reports, Mr Roberts said: "There's no way she did that. Somebody got to her." Virginia sadly died at her home in Neergabby, Western Australia, on April 25 2025. Her family confirmed the devastating news that Virginia had taken her own life after being a "lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking". Speaking about the first time he heard the news, her father Sky said: 'Well, first of all, I couldn't even believe it. I mean, I started crying right away. I'm still crying. I can't believe that this is happening. It just, it's impossible. 'And then for them to say that she committed suicide, there's no way that she did. Somebody got to her.' Asked how he wanted his daughter to be remembered, Sky said: 'As someone who actually got out of a bad situation and made a good situation out of it, that she was helping a lot of other young girls that were feeling the pain of what goes on with people like that… I think she's strong, very strong, and that's why I don't think she committed suicide. She had too much to live for. She had her foundation.' Giuffre's battle with Prince Andrew reached a global audience in 2021 when she filed a lawsuit against him for sexual abuse, alleging that she was forced to have sex with the duke at age 17, having been trafficked by the now-deceased billionaire Jeffrey Epstein. Prince Andrew has vehemently denied them and has not faced any criminal charges. In a now-infamous photograph, Ms Giuffre is pictured as a teenager with Andrew's arm around her waist inside Ghislaine Maxwell's London townhouse In 2001. During his YouTube show Uncensored, Piers asked Sky about the photo of his daughter with Prince Andrew, and whether it could be a fake. He then revealed to the host for the first time that he had seen it years earlier. He confessed: 'Virginia sent the original picture, so I know it wasn't faked, but the original picture of Prince Andrew and her with Ghislaine Maxwell in the background, so I know that's true that she did. She was there with him.' 'And when did she first show you that? Piers asked. 'Many years ago when it happened,' Roberts responded. 'But before it became public knowledge?' Piers said. 'Yes,' he replied. The full interview will be available to watch this evening on Piers Morgan: Uncensored on YouTube this evening. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

It comes just days after her family released a handwritten letter penned by Virginia shortly before her death, declaring that her 'voice will not be silenced.' The letter reads: 'Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and stand together to fight for the future of victims." She added: "Is protesting the answer? I don't know. But we've got to start somewhere.' The note was posted online by Giuffre's sister-in-law, Amanda Roberts, who is married to Giuffre's brother. Alongside a snapshot of the letter, she shared a tribute committing to continue Giuffre's work for abuse survivors. "Hello world. We found a handwritten note that our sister Virginia wrote,' Roberts said in her message. "I think it's important that the survivors know that she's with you and her voice will not be silenced. I know that it's so important, and her wish is that we continue to fight." In 2021, Giuffre filed a civil lawsuit in New York against Andrew under the Child Victims Act, accusing him of sexually abusing her on three occasions when she was 17 years old - in London, New York, and the US Virgin Islands. The lawsuit alleged she was forced to have sex with the royal under Epstein's direction. In February 2022, the case was settled out of court. Andrew did not admit any wrongdoing but agreed to pay Giuffre a reported sum of £12 million, including a donation to her charity for victims of abuse. Epstein died by suicide in August 2019 as he was held in jail awaiting trial for child sex trafficking.
