The 36-year-old personal trainer, who had a romantic relationship with Katie from 2018 to 2019 and was even briefly engaged to her, showed off his injury to fans after the incident.He took to Instagram to reveal the gruesome aftermath of the air rifle accident. In a photo shared on his Stories, he could be seen with blood trickling down his face from his head and uploaded a video, joking: “Sometimes I clearly can’t be trusted. I don’t think shooting is for me.”Back in May, Kris was reportedly livid when his ex alleged that he had been unfaithful during their tumultuous romance. Katie, who is currently seeing Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, irked her ex by claiming that every man she’s ever been with has cheated on her, reports the Mirror.Kris posted a picture of his face covered in blood after a “shooting” accidentKris was reportedly seething over these accusations after Katie appeared on Paul C Brunson’s We Need To Talk podcast and alleged: “I suppose every, literally, every relationship I’ve been in, I’ve been cheated on.””And when I see the people they cheated on me with, I’ve always gone: ‘Oh, why have they gone for them? I thought I was a little bit better looking than them’. It sort of gives you that self doubt: ‘What am I good enough for?'”.Kris and Katie dated from 2018 to 2019 and were engaged for a short while(Image: Ken McKay/ITV/REX/Shutterstock)A source told The Sun: “Kris is furious that Katie talked about how all men have cheated on her on the Paul C. Brunson podcast, as he never did and he’s sick of her saying it. She’s said it during a few interviews now and he feels like it’s dragging his name through the mud, tarnishing him with the same brush as some of the other blokes she’s dated, when he has moved on.””They dated years ago but Kris feels like she talks about all her exes as if they are the same and like she is completely blameless for anything ever going wrong in a relationship.”Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

Gavin and Stacey actor Oscar Hartland, who played Neil the baby in the iconic BBC sitcom, has failed most of his GCSE results but assured fans that he has it all under control18:26, 22 Aug 2025Gavin and Stacey’s Baby Neil star has an unexpected plan if all else fails.Oscar Hartland, the 16-year-old actor who brought Baby Neil to life in Gavin and Stacey, didn’t pass his GCSEs but he’s got an alternative strategy up his sleeve.Oscar picked up his GCSE grades this week, though he walked away with two successful outcomes reportedly achieving an A in music and scraped through in English, his two favoured disciplines, reports the Mirror.He said: “I got a whopping two! But I’m happy with that, I wanted a top grade in music and that’s what I got. I’m the first to admit I’m not an academic and if I’m honest, I didn’t try that hard.”Speaking to the Mail Online, he revealed his determination to succeed as a musician in a group “the hard way,” stating: “Is an executive at one of the top recording labels going to ask me about my GCSE results? I don’t think so.”Baby Neil is all grown up and recently picked up his GCSE results(Image: BBC)Oscar burst onto the scene straight from birth, featuring in four instalments of Gavin and Stacey as Neil the Baby who was born from a brief encounter between Smithy and Nessa. He made his comeback to Britain’s beloved sitcom as 10 year old Neil the Baby in the 2019 Christmas special before returning as a teenager in 2024.The talented youngster took centre stage in the final episode last Christmas, performing the Beatles’ classic Blackbird on guitar to an enormous audience of 19.1 million viewers. However, Oscar doesn’t blame his disappointing GCSE performance at St Martin’s Comprehensive in Caerphilly, South Wales, on the demands of his television work.Oscar is now pursuing a career in music(Image: BBC)Instead he admits he simply “hated school” and confesses his mind “was always in other places” throughout his education. The budding musician reckons the educational system fails pupils who aren’t naturally suited to academic study.The finale episode of Gavin and Stacey became the UK’s most-watched Christmas Day television programme in 23 years, according to figures released earlier this year. Official viewing statistics for the sitcom’s 90-minute send-off, which formed the highlight of BBC One’s 2024 Christmas lineup, reached 19.1 million.Article continues belowJoin the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

Jeremy Clarkson has informed fans that he is “fed up” after receiving huge Diddly Squat news following a number of setbacks at the famous farm17:17, 22 Aug 2025Updated 17:37, 22 Aug 2025Jeremy Clarkson is “fed up” and has made an urgent plea to fans.The Clarkson’s Farm presenter, 64, told followers that his Amazon Prime programme Clarkson’s Farm has secured yet another nomination at the National Television Awards, but he and his team are “fed up” and revealed why.Jeremy told his Instagram followers: “We’ve been nominated for the National TV Awards. Thank you. Our crews are getting fed up of losing this one.”Devoted fans flocked to show their support in the replies and one dedicated follower wrote: “Voted! Fingers crossed as it’s the only bit of talent on tv at the moment,” reports the Express.Someone else told him: “Voted. Been a fan of yours (@JeremyClarkson) for decades, literally. The entire family loves this show,” while a third supporter chimed in: “Voted Sir…. Fingers crossed you win this one,” and a fourth wrote: “Voted and shared! Good luck x”Jeremy’s show has been nominated at the NTAs once again(Image: Prime Video)Clarkson has been facing a tough year at the farm and recently told fans: “It looks like this year’s harvest will be catastrophic. That should be a worry for anyone who eats food. If a disaster on this scale had befallen any other industry, there would be a lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth.”Back in June, amid the UK’s blistering heatwave, Jeremy wrote in his Times column: “It used to be reasonably predictable, but it just isn’t anymore. In March Diddly Squat had no rain at all. Not even a drop.”Clarkson has faced hardship at Diddly Squat throughout 2025(Image: Tom Wren / SWNS)”In April we got 20mm, which in old money is bugger all. And so far in May we’ve had 4mm. You couldn’t keep a window box going with a dribble like that. It’s been drier than it was in 1976.””And while we do have about thirty springs on the farm, they’re all in the wrong places, so my onions and my beetroots are just sitting in the dust. The wheat, meanwhile, is curling up, the barley won’t really get cracking at all and I dread to think what manner or terribleness is being foisted on my poor potatoes.” More

TV star Jeremy Clarkson has been urged by animal rights group PETA to ‘make a major decision’ at his Diddly Squat farm following a ‘devastating’ tuberculosis outbreakDanny Gutmann16:30, 22 Aug 2025PETA has written to Jeremy Clarkson after the farm’s TB outbreak(Image: Tom Wren / SWNS)Television personality Jeremy Clarkson has been called upon by PETA to halt animal suffering on his farm following a “devastating” tuberculosis outbreak.The Clarkson’s Farm presenter witnessed his livestock at Diddly Squat farm being decimated by bovine TB in recent weeks.Clarkson originally purchased the Oxfordshire farm in 2008, renting it out before assuming farming duties himself in 2019.The debut series of the hit Amazon Prime programme proved enormously successful and has been commissioned for a fifth series, but the TB outbreak marked one of the most significant setbacks since Clarkson acquired the property.PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has now penned a letter to Clarkson calling on him to cease animal breeding on the farm and transition to a plant-based operation.Jeremy has ran the farm since 2019(Image: Qian Jun/MB Media, Getty Images)The organisation states it sent the letter “urging him to ensure that no more animals suffer and die at his hands by making the farm an animal sanctuary and focusing on his mushroom and vegetable farming”.The letter stated: “Perhaps behind the bravado and banter lies a man who wants to find a better way. That’s why we’re writing to you today.”We believe this could be a turning point for you and a golden opportunity to leave behind the violence of breeding and farming animals.”Lean into your mushroom and vegetable farming and let Diddly Squat Farm evolve into a sanctuary for both you and the animals still housed there. No more killing. No more heartache.”During a Times Radio interview earlier this month, Jeremy confirmed the “dreadful” news regarding the outbreak.He explained: “It’s awful, it is awful. You have a test every six months on the cows and then you sort of become blasé, it’s a hypothetical threat.Jeremy Clarkson was ‘devastated’ by the TB outbreak(Image: Peter Fox, Getty Images)”And then the vet looks up as he did yesterday lunchtime and said ‘I’m really sorry this one’s failed’. So that means we’re now locked down and it’s just dreadful, absolutely dreadful.”A post on X, formerly Twitter, stated: “Bad news from Diddly Squat. We’ve gone down with TB. Everyone here is absolutely devastated.”Clarkson rose to fame alongside Richard Hammond and James May as one of the hosts of the revamped Top Gear, fronting the BBC programme almost continuously from 1988 to 2015 before departing the corporation after striking a producer.Clarkson, Hammond and May subsequently created The Grand Tour, which aired on Amazon Prime until last year.He has also achieved tremendous success with Clarkson’s Farm on the streaming platform, which follows Clarkson as he learns the trade on his 1,000 acre Cotswolds farm from experienced agricultural workers. PETA attempted to persuade Clarkson to adopt their proposal.The animals on his farm undergo TB testing twice annually(Image: NurPhoto, NurPhoto via Getty Images)The letter further stated: “If Clarkson agrees to the plant-powered proposal, PETA would celebrate by making him the ambassador of its new website, BritishFarming.org, which encourages farmers, consumers, and policymakers to end animal suffering, protect the environment, and support rural communities by switching to kind, sustainable plant farming.”TB is a disease that can infect all mammals, including humans. Clarkson’s farm undergoes biannual TB tests as it is situated in an “edge area” for the disease, serving as a buffer zone between high-risk and low-risk areas.Article continues belowThe disease, notorious for wreaking havoc on farm businesses, primarily affects the respiratory system and can be transmitted through direct contact such as nose-to-nose, or through contact with saliva, urine, faeces, and milk.A spokesperson for Clarkson has been approached for comment.

However, the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ actress confessed that the film producer completely transformed her perspective on love.Looking back on how their romance blossomed, Margot revealed to Vogue magazine: “I was the ultimate single gal.

We were friends for so long.Article continues below”I was always in love with him, but I thought, ‘Oh, he would never love me back. Don’t make it weird, Margot. Don’t be stupid and tell him that you like him’. And then it happened, and I was like, of course we’re together.”Margot wed Tom in an intimate ceremony in Byron Bay, Australia, and she confessed the relationship simply fell into place beautifully.She continued: “This makes so much sense, the way nothing has ever made sense before.” More
