    Dating Naked UK star says Rylan is ‘100% correct’ as he backs his migrant comments

    Rylan Clark found himself in hot water this week after making comments about migrants taking ‘illegal routes’ into the UK during a chat on This Morning10:48, 29 Aug 2025Luke Worley has defended Rylan(Image: Paramount+)Rylan Clark has been defended by a new co-star after his controversial migrant comments. The star found himself in hot water this week after making comments about about migrants coming to the UK in “illegal routes”. Some people, like pals Josie Gibson and Rob Rinder, were quick to support him after he put out a statement on the matter.Now, Dating Naked UK star Luke Worley has spoken out in support of Rylan, who is the host of the raunchy show.Luke said on Instagram: “I’ve been seeing Rylan getting loads of stick about his comments on this morning and I’m fully confused to why.Luke is on the new series of Dating Naked UK(Image: Instagram)”Rylan was 100% correct in what he said. Why are we giving hand outs to illegal immigrants when some people are struggling in this country as it is?”And it’s even more alarming that these ‘asylum seekers’ are passing through multiple other safe countries to arrive here. If they were fleeing danger, then surely they would stay in the first safe country they arrive at.”The answer is, because this government is weak and we give too much.”Realistically if there were two boxes, one with £10 and the other with £1,000 any person would take the box with £1,000.”The government is fuelling illegal immigration by offering the £1,000 box.”Rylan started his comments on This Morning by praising “legal immigration”.Rylan Clark spoke of the ‘narrative’ that migrants who enter the UK are given handouts while Brits suffer(Image: ITV)He said: “A lot of the nurses, the doctors that have saved my mum’s life have come over here from other countries. They’re living a great life, they’re paying into this tax system, they’re helping this country thrive.”He went on: “I find it absolutely insane that all these people are risking their lives coming across the Channel.”And when they get here, it does seem, and I think this is why a lot of Labour voters as well are saying there’s something wrong, it feels like ‘Welcome, come on in’. That’s the narrative we’re being fed.”Here’s the iPad. Here’s the NHS in reception of your hotel. Here’s three meals a day. Here’s a games room in the hotel. Have a lovely time and welcome.”Article continues belowHe later released a statement on social media saying: “You can be pro immigration and against illegal routes. You can support trans people and have the utmost respect for women.”You can be heterosexual and still support gay rights. The list continues. Stop with this putting everyone in a box exercise and maybe have conversations instead of shouting on Twitter.”Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

    Hulk Hogan’s widow ‘considering medical malpractice lawsuit’ after wrestler’s death

    Sky Daily has revealed she is considering medical malpractice lawsuit after a botched neck surgery ‘compromised’ her husband’s phrenic nerve, which could have contributed to his death09:41, 29 Aug 2025The widow of former wrestler Hulk Hogan is ‘considering’ taking legal action after claiming a botched neck surgery compromised his phrenic nerve and led to breathing difficulties in the months leading up his death in July.Sky Daily told the Daily Mail: “We are investigating for possible malpractice. If you have shortness of breath for a long time, that makes you very sick. It’s not something that’s an alarming cause of death. It’s something that wears on you, makes you weak.”The 47-year-old, who became Hogan’s third wife in 2023, revealed that her late husband’s body is still yet to be cremated after ongoing medical investigations.Hogan married Sky in 2023(Image: hulkhogan/Instagram)”It’s very time-consuming to call, sending in records requests, get approvals, send in the death certificate to get information. We’re currently in the investigatory process for possible malpractice,” she said.”We will be cremating him shortly as we are wrapping up this medical investigation.”The allegations about the botched surgery originally surfaced after an occupational therapist, who was at Hogan’s mansion when he stopped breathing, told police that his nerve had been ‘severed’ in an operation.Daily confirmed that while it wasn’t severed it had been damaged. Daily said the therapist’s claims did not come from “anything he saw with his own eyes”, and that he was only relying on previous medical reports.Hulk Hogan died in July(Image: Getty Images)”It (the compromised nerve) is not brand new information… everything about his neck surgery has been documented from when he was alive. So there’s nothing that happened right before he passed,” she added.Daily also took the opportunity to set the record straight about rumours that her husband’s personal physician, Dr. Gerald Fitzgerald, had over-prescribed medication or drugged the star. She denied that Fitzgerald had ever prescribed Hogan any medication and that he had been under the care of the nearby Tampa General Hospital.”He is being portrayed as some pill popper who drugged Terry, and he died. That poor man never even gave him a scrip,” she continued.”To me it’s irresponsible to go out and slander doctors.”Hulk Hogan won 12 World Championships(Image: AFP via Getty Images)The actual operation in question had taken place at a different medical facility, but Daily refused to name any of the doctors involved.”I’m trying to be respectful of the police department because the police department has been very respectful and very thorough,” she said.”I have cameras in the house. They’ve looked at all the cameras. They’ve counted all the medicines. They’ve done everything that they would normally do.”They’ve seen very clear medical records, where it’s just completely obvious how things go. They’ve been very thorough.”Hogan’s estranged daughter Brooke has been one of those fuelling various theories about her father’s death.Brooke Hogan has finally been able to see her late father’s bodyShe recently took to social media saying: “FACT: I’ve 100% gotten legit calls from professionals- from police officials to nurses that were supposedly with my dad on the day of his death telling ME I need to see body cam footage and I need to get a hold of the 911 tapes because they supposedly contain information that could potentially shed enough light to change the narrative we/I/everyone’s been hearing.”Those same professionals feel so passionately about what they witnessed, they have continued to contact me and push me to find specific answers to this very day.”They are quite literally putting their careers at risk because they feel so compelled to do the right thing.”Brooke recently got the opportunity to see her father’s body, with the 37-year-old seen visiting the Clearwater funeral home on Tuesday.Article continues belowThe six-time WWF champion’s death was officially recorded as “natural” with the cause being “acute myocardial infarction”, but Daily is convinced that the operation in May had a part to play.She added: “I know the truth will come out, so I’m sitting back here politely being, like, everything’s being well documented. I know it’s fine.” More

The four-time Golden Globe champion withdrew from press conferences and photo opportunities at the Venice Film Festival owing to “a bad sinus infection”. The 64-year-old legend did, however, manage to attend the world premiere of his new picture Jay Kelly, and was photographed on the red carpet alongside his stunning wife Amal.Yet on multiple occasions, Clooney was spotted grasping his throat and allegedly paused to tell onlookers: “I can’t speak!” The puzzling health issue had triggered worry amongst supporters earlier on Thursday, though sources assured The Hollywood Reporter there was no cause for alarm.Clooney, hailing from Lexington, Kentucky, was said to be “so devastated” he couldn’t make it to the press conference for the coming-of-age drama Jay Kelly. His fellow actors, including Adam Sandler, Laura Dern and Billy Crudup, were present at the Venice event, as well as the cast meal that followed.George Clooney has been struggling with a sinus infection(Image: Getty Images)Film director Noah Baumbach remarked: “Even movie stars get sick,” reports the Mirror.The press conference host informed reporters: “George Clooney is not going to be here because he has a bad sinus infection and I think he should be on the red carpet tonight and he’s very sorry he can’t be with us.”However, Clooney, a father of two, effortlessly navigated the 30-minute red carpet event later that evening in Venice, where the cast posed for stunning photos and engaged with journalists. Despite admitting to the crowd that he was struggling with his speech, both he and Amal dazzled on the red carpet.In the film, Clooney takes on the role of the eponymous Kelly, a renowned movie star, while Sandler portrays his loyal manager, as they embark on a journey of self-discovery across Europe.George Clooney told people he ‘can’t speak'(Image: Max Cisotti/Dave Benett/WireImag)Baumbach spoke about crafting the film specifically for the Ocean’s Eleven actor, stating: “I’ve known George over the years and have been wanting to find something to do with him and early on we started to say ‘This is going to be George.'”I felt it was really important the audience watching the movie have a relationship with the actor playing the character, so that we all watching it have a history with George – just like the people in the movie have a history with Jay.”The character is running from himself for so much of the movie and deflecting and trying to hide, and what essentially I was asking of George was to reveal more and more of himself as he does that.”Article continues belowJay Kelly will hit UK cinemas on November 14 and will premiere on Netflix on December 5.Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

    Jade Goody’s mum slams Freddy Brazier’s drug claims in brutal takedown

    Jade Goody’s mum Jackiey Budden has hit back at grandson Freddy Brazier’s claims that she got him hooked on drugs08:00, 29 Aug 2025Jackiey Budden has slammed Freddy’s claims she got him hooked on drugs(Image: Channel 4)Jade Goody’s mum Jackiey Budden has furiously denied being behind grandson Freddy Brazier’s cannabis addiction. This week, Freddy revealed he’d been sectioned after a difficult time in his life. Jackiey, 68, has now lashed out after Freddy claimed his maternal grandmother had got him “hooked” on drugs from the tender age of 12. The young man had revealed on a podcast that he hoped to maintain a positive relationship with Jackiey despite his father Jeff’s legal fight to prevent contact with the pensioner.However, Jackiey, whose daughter Jade passed away from cancer in 2009, has fiercely rejected the 20-year-old’s allegations. She declared: “I’ve read all these things he’s said about me and I just can’t believe he’d say them. It just isn’t true at all – I can’t believe it.”Freddy was smoking as a kid with his mates long before he and I ever smoked together back out in Essex near Jeff’s home – he got into some bad crowds but it had nothing to do with me.”Freddy Brazier has been open about his struggle with drugs(Image: Jed Cullen/Dave Benett/Getty Images for Blauer)Freddy courageously revealed his struggle with addiction, disclosing he had been sectioned during manic episodes. His television presenter father Jeff, 46, grew worried about Freddy after photographs emerged of him smoking alongside Jackiey, reports the Mirror.Whilst Jackiey, who hails from Southwark in south London, admits to having smoked with her grandson, she strongly refutes suggestions she introduced him to cannabis, a Class B substance that remains illegal for recreational purposes in the UK.In response to Freddy’s claims, Jackiey told the Mail Online: “All I’ve ever tried to do is look out for him and give him somewhere safe to be whenever he wants to – and this has really upset me that he would do this.”Freddy has reportedly clashed with dad Jeff Brazier(Image: @freddybrazier_/Instagram)Jackiey’s daughter Jade, who died aged just 27, was tormented by worries about how her sons Bobby and Freddy would cope without her guidance, it’s believed.Both lads are trying to make their mark in the entertainment industry, but whilst Bobby, 22, earned acclaim during his three-year run on EastEnders, there’s mounting concern about Freddy’s wellbeing.A family insider revealed to Mail Online: “Freddy is all over the place. He says one thing one day and the total opposite the next. One minute he wants to listen to his dad and turn his life around, by going off to rehab. A few hours later he’s changed his mind and says there are no issues and he’s furiously storming off again.”Jade tragically died when she was 27(Image: Phil Harris / Daily Mirror)However, the television star has been applauded for his frank musings on the podcast and heartfelt Instagram updates.Back in June, he informed his social media followers that he was heading to Spain for treatment after clashing with his father.Freddy penned: “I’ve found a boxing club and a rehabilitation centre. Ive found someone I want to get to know and I’m happy. I got a good bunch of friends and I [want to] get out and enjoy myself.Article continues below”I want to be clean so I can live happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I’m in the middle and have to choose a side.”Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?
