He’d do anything for a laugh, a born entertainer.”The Black Sabbath bassist and songwriter looked back on the events leading up to their final performance on 5 July, which began a month earlier during rehearsals.He admitted: “I knew he wasn’t in good health, but I wasn’t prepared to see how frail he was.”He was assisted into the rehearsal room by two helpers and a nurse and was using a cane – being Ozzy, the cane was black and studded with gold and precious stones.”He didn’t really say much beyond the usual greetings, and when he sang, he sat in a chair.”Ozzy sat on the throne for the Back to Beginning final show(Image: Ross Halfin)He described them running through songs but noticed that Ozzy was exhausted after six or seven, and said Ozzy was really quiet compared to his old self.Gezzer added: “The strangest part of that show was the end. Normally, we would all hug each other and take a bow to the audience, but Ozzy was on his throne and we hadn’t thought that out. What do we do? Tony shook his hand, I presented him with a cake, but it was such a strange feeling to end our story like that.”I wish I’d had more time backstage with Ozzy, but wishes are redundant now. As Ozzy used to say: ‘Wish in one hand and s*** in the other and see which comes first.'””Nobody knew he’d be gone from us little more than two weeks after the final show. But I am so grateful we got to play one last time together in front of his beloved fans.”Article continues belowGeezer said he was “privileged” to spend most of his life with Ozzy.He ended the piece with: “God bless, Oz, it has been one hell of a ride!

The British Board of Film Classification said that complaints flooded in over its decision to reclassify it from a U to a PG over the use of an offensive term. It was followed by sci-fi thriller The Abyss and Dune: Part Two17:48, 27 Jul 2025Updated 17:48, 27 Jul 2025Mary Poppins was the most complained about film of last year(Image: Getty Images)Mary Poppins was the most complained about film of last year.The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) said that of the 224 complaints made during the year, 56 were about the hit 1964 family musical. Complaints flooded in over the board’s decision to reclassify it from a U to a PG over the use of the term “hottentots”.The word is used twice by Admiral Boom the Banks family’s neighbour, when he refers to the chimney sweeps covered in soot. Hottentot, now seen as an offensive term, was originally used by white Europeans referring to nomadic people in southern Africa. Those complaining had wanted the rating to remain unchanged.The word is used twice by Admiral Boom the Banks family’s neighbour(Image: Disney/Kobal/REX/Shutterstock)The reclassification meant that the beloved Disney classic was more complained about than the knife fights in Dune: Part Two or the sex scenes in Saltburn.David Austin, BBFC chief executive, said: “The two uses of the discriminatory term ‘hottentots’ are neither criticised nor condemned, increasing the risk that very young viewers might repeat it without realising the potential for offence.”Following Mary Poppins, the second most complained about film last year was the 1989 sci-fi thriller The Abyss with 17 complaints.They related to online rumours that the film had been cancelled over a scene in which a man submerges a live rat in liquid.This was followed by Dune: Part Two in third place with 13 complaints over its 12A certificate being too lenient due to its knife violence.Meanwhile, controversial adult star Bonnie Blue takes fans behind the scenes of her viral stunts in a new Channel 4 documentary.

EXCLUSIVE: Daily Star’s Carly Hacon took on Squid Game: The Experience in London — here’s her hot take on how it really stacks up to the savage thrills of the Netflix show…16:53, 27 Jul 2025Updated 17:01, 27 Jul 2025This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. Learn moreEver fancied trying out Red Light Green Light? Now you can!(Image: Getty Images for Netflix)As a huge fan of Netflix’s Squid Game, I was buzzing to find out I could try it out for myself after it landed at ExCeL London.After binging the series (let’s be honest, who hasn’t?), there couldn’t have been a better time for myself and five pals to give it a whirl after finding the tickets on Moonpig.com.However, we were all in for a shock as we didn’t exactly breeze through as seasoned players… As a disclaimer, we looked more like rookies and certainly didn’t take home the top spot.What quickly became evident was that some of us weren’t just here to play, some were here to win (the lads in our group, and particularly my partner, had that killer instinct).We may be smiling for the camera – but we certainly weren’t in the challenges!(Image: Carly Hacon)Relationships and alliances didn’t seem to matter much once we were given our numbered vests. All the ‘mushy stuff’ went out the window and was replaced by cold, calculated competitiveness. Sounds savage, right?!However, this could be due to how alike the experience was to the show’s dystopian world. From the moment we stepped into the arena, we could hear the show’s eerie theme tune and spot several staff members dressed in hooded jumpsuits and masks, just like the series.After being given our welcome pep talk, we were told by staff that “cheating is encouraged” which the room laughed it off at first. But we quickly realised that people weren’t joking. I witnessed players begin scheming, exploiting weaknesses, and occasionally shoving their friends out of the way to gain the upper hand.Marbles were much harder than they looked(Image: Carly Hacon)Now, let’s talk about the challenges… What seemed easy on the show, like Red Light, Green Light, turned out to be far more difficult than expected. It was a test of reflexes, strategy, and, apparently, the ability to betray your loved ones without hesitation (My partner told a guard I had cheated. The cheek!).At one point, a Tug of War game nearly turned into an Olympic event (with less skill and more panic) as two teams battled it out against each other with little to no sportsmanship. We also played The iconic Marbles and Mind-bending Memory Steps, as well as some other challenges that weren’t featured in the show, but I’ll leave those to the element of surprise for budding visitors.Our memories were also put to the test(Image: Carly Hacon)It really felt like we had stepped into an episode of the show, except without the actual life-or-death stakes, of course. Despite the high-pressure atmosphere, no one actually got hurt in the game’s arena, unless you want to count the bruised egos and shattered pride of particular players.The experience was a wild, hilarious, and slightly humiliating rollercoaster of adrenaline, plot twists, and moments that made us question our life choices (and relationships). You really do find out some home truths about your group, like who’s the backstabber, the secret strategist and who simply loses their head when tension hits.The guards made sure to stay in character (Image: Carly Hacon)If you’re like me and a massive fan of the show, then you are guaranteed to love it. Even if Squid Game isn’t your thing to watch on the box, Squid Game: The Experience London makes an exhilarating day out with your pals — just be prepared to lose a little dignity… And possibly a friend or two.Tickets start from £79 (for two) or £152 ( for four) on Moonpig.com.Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?

Our Yorkshire Farm star Amanda Owen was left fuming as she shared some “heartbreaking” news from the farm, and fans were quick to share their thoughts on the matter16:29, 27 Jul 2025Updated 16:32, 27 Jul 2025Amanda shared the news(Image: Amanda Owen/Instagram)Fans of Our Yorkshire Farm were left feeling gutted as Amanda Owen revealed some distressing news from the farm. The mother of nine took to Instagram on Sunday, posting a video that she confessed was out of the ordinary for her.Accompanying the clip, Amanda expressed her frustration, writing: “Cross, cross, cross. This is not the normal kind of post I do. Not the kind of post that I want to do.”She continued with a heartfelt message: “I know that it will not make any difference whatsoever, but still I hope that someone, somewhere might feel a little uncomfortable or even ashamed.”These places are invaluable, a part of our history and heritage, they do not formally belong to anyone but have been used by for centuries by shepherds, farmers and commoners. They are still in use to this day.”Amanda Owen wasn’t happy(Image: Instagram/Amanda Owen)The beloved Our Yorkshire Farm personality didn’t hold back as she vented to her audience about what had sparked her ire, reports the Manchester Evening News.In the footage, she stated: “This is not my kind of thing that I would normally be reckoning to put on social media. But this has incensed and angered me so enormously.”It’s not about a gap in the wall that happens, and that can be fixed. I’m talking about this,” she said, pointing out the problem.As she highlighted the damage, she elaborated: “You might ask yourself, ‘What has happened there?’ I’ll tell you what has happened there.”Sometime in the last few days, likely under cover of darkness, someone has trespassed onto these pens on the border between Cumbria and Yorkshire, and they’ve intruded into these beautiful pens that have stood here for centuries.Amanda became emotional and started crying after heartfelt moment with son(Image: Channel 5)”And they have dug up and taken the flags out of the floor. Can you imagine, this floor has stood the test of time. It has been here for hundreds of years.”This isn’t a place that isn’t used. This is a place that has got history. Look. See the beautiful cobbles, see how this is maintained and looked after. This is a little building where the shepherds and farmers in our area actually bring our sheep, when we’ve gathered them in and actually work in them and put strays in here. “.Amanda continued: “But at some point over the last couple of days, somebody has taken it upon themselves to desecrate it, whether they had a job for these flags or whether they just got them because they thought nobody was using this place.”I think that absolutely stinks, it’s our heritage, it’s an ancient, ancient place, and I don’t see that there’s any need to do that kind of thing.”Amanda’s supporters were devastated and furious, with countless people rushing to the comments to voice their outrage.Amanda showed the damage that had been done(Image: Amanda Owen/Instagram)One declared: “People just don’t care anymore, they think they are entitled to do and take whatever they want. It really boils my blood!”.Another shared: “Heartbreaking Amanda. Same thing happened to my husband at the shop we owned in Bradford. Low life thieves came during the night and stripped the back yard of the Yorkshire stone flags, they fetch a good price so that’s why they do it.”A third fumed: “Disgusting! This is the sign of the times here in the UK! total breakdown of law and order!” Another person exclaimed: “That is just horrific! I will never understand how people could do something like that!”.”That’s sad and disgusting in equal measure,” another concurred.Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?
