I mean, last year was the second worst recorded ever and we think this year is going to be even worse because it just hasn’t rained.”Cooper was facing a tough day on the farm and decided to back out of the Hawkstone event(Image: PRIME )Clarkson then thanked the crowd for their support and explained that his Hawkstone Lager has been doing so well, he’s decided to make a TV advert.However, you won’t be seeing it on your screens anytime soon: ” More

EXCLUSIVE: Love Island 2025 has been one of the most drama-filled series in recent years, but this could be the reason behind the show’s newfound success21:47, 31 Jul 2025Love Island’s girl group drama is “key to series’ success” after years of declining viewership.The 2025 series has arguably been more focussed on the drama between the female contestants rather than the blossoming romance among the couples.Speaking exclusively to Daily Star on behalf of Betfred, PR Specialist Kayley Cornelius has revealed that this is actually a good thing – but producers should be careful about relying on this in future series.She explained: “On the one hand, the divide within the girl group this year is everything the producers could have hoped for. The drama has kept viewers hooked tuning in night after night and has likely played a huge role in reversing the series’ dwindling viewership.”Kayley noted that the situation has “reignited the social buzz” around the show and sparked Gen Z’s love for the ITV reality show once more.Shakira and Meg recently exchanged cross words during a challenge(Image: ITV)”One reason I believe this year’s series has been successful is that viewers feel more connected to the cast, amplified by the clearly visible divide among the girls. As a result viewers themselves appear split, feeling compelled to take sides and support their chosen ‘team’.””The lack of strong romantic connections or solid couples has allowed the girls’ drama to take centre stage. In previous years such rows would rarely have been central to the storyline, so from that perspective it is easy to see why producers may have been reluctant to intervene. Without the drama, they might not have had much of a show left.”The girls tried to put the “divide” behind them, but things quickly blew up again(Image: ITV)However, Kayley said that the producers should be wary of relying on arguments to drive the story in the long-term as it could prove a “risky strategy for ITV if they attempt to replicate it in future series”.”They are taking a high-stakes gamble with their brand image which they have worked hard to redeem, yet they could soon find themselves back at square one and signs already suggest they may be heading into muddy waters.”It seems the broadcaster is beginning to pay the price of this fandom culture, with thousands of viewers lodging complaints with Ofcom about alleged bullying towards Shakira. Many more have admitted to struggling while watching her emotional breakdown, during which she spoke openly about feeling pushed out of the group and the perceived ‘fakeness’ of the other girls.”The drama has arguably been the main focus of this season(Image: ITV)The PR specialist pointed out that the main issue is that “there are always two side to every argument” so it is hard to “strike the right balance while remaining impartial,” careful not to show favour to one contestant or another.”With the cast due to leave the villa next week the real test is about to begin. I suspect that in the weeks that follow, we may start to get a clearer picture of what actually happened behind the scenes and how accurately it was portrayed on screen.””Although things may appear to be improving for Love Island, I would argue that the waters remain rocky. It might only take one major scandal to bring the entire show to an end.”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.

Julian Story had gone missing and is now believed to have been murdered by his partner Tamika Chesser in Australia, now the man’s head has been discovered by a horrified dog walker20:54, 31 Jul 2025Tamika Chesser shot to fame on Beauty and the Geek in 2010(Image: @tamikachesser/Instagram)The severed head of a man allegedly murdered by his Beauty and the Geek star girlfriend has been found.The dog and its owner had been walking through scrubland in the Australian city of Port Lincoln, about 250km – or about 155 miles – west of Adelaide. While the pair had been walking through the landscape, the head was discovered by the walker, though the dog appeared to run off with the had and did not return.It is now believed that the severed head is that of Julian Story, a 39-year-old man who was allegedly brutally murdered and dismembered by his partner Tamika Chesser. Tamika, 34, first shot to fame when she starred in the reality show Beauty and the Geek back in 2010.According to the Sun, police in the Australian state of South Australia confirmed that a head had been discovered. In a statement released on Thursday (July 31), South Australia Police boss Darren Fielke confirmed that other remains had also been found.Julian Story is alleged to have been murdered and dismembered by Tamika Chesser(Image: South Australian Police)”Earlier today, police received information from a member of the public in Port Lincoln that they had located in a scrub area what appeared to be a human skull,” Fielke explained. “There are some walking tracks through there, my understanding is the person who contacted us today was walking their dog in the area.”The dog ran off into the scrub, it didn’t come back when called,” he added. “They had to walk into the scrub area to find it; [the remains] were not buried – they were quite out in the open.”Formal identification is now set to take place, with tests being carried out on the remains to confirm that they are those of missing Julian. Fielke added that Julian’s family have been made aware of the discovery and are now being told to prepare for any information regarding his disappearance and alleged murder.Tamika is currently being held in a mental health facility(Image: Facebook)”Julian’s family have been contacted today and provided an update in relation to what has been located and what the ongoing process is from here,” the police boss added. “Hopefully we can give them some comfort that we have found all the remains of Julian.”Aussie police first made the horrific discovery in June, after they were called to deal with a small fire that had broken out. Julian’s partner Tamika was later arrested and detained under the Mental Health Act some two days afterwards.However, while police are keen to launch a full investigation, officers are unable to speak to the star, as she is currently being held in a mental health facility. She has, however, already appeared before a magistrates court in Port Lincoln via video link, in connection for three different crimes.Police believe Tamika was seen wearing all back just hours after the alleged murder took place(Image: 9 News Australia)Tamika stands charged with murder after police released CCTV footage of a woman believed to be Tamika in the wake of the alleged murder. She is also accused of perverting the course of justice by disposing of human remains, as well as assaulting a police officer.Court documents found that officers discovered Tamika sitting in the back garden of her home – dressed fully in black wearing a head covering – “in a catatonic and unresponsive state”. Police have admitted there is no obvious motive that has been found yet, and that there are “a lot of unanswered questions” in the case.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.

This Morning presenter Cat Deeley and her husband Patrick Kielty announced their split this week after more than a decade of marriage. The couple share two children19:24, 31 Jul 2025Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley(Image: PA)Cat Deeley has shared a poignant memory from before her luxurious wedding to Patrick Kielty. The TV presenters announced their separation earlier this week, bringing an end to over a decade of marriage.This Morning host Cat, 48, and Northern Irish presenter Patrick, 54, first met while co-presenting BBC’s Fame Academy in 2002, going on to host two series of the show together that year.The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony in Rome in September 2012, just nine months after they started dating. The ceremony, attended by 100 guests, was conducted by Belfast-based priest Father Gary Donegan.In a previous interview, Cat revealed that her grandfather was unable to attend the destination wedding due to poor health. Although the former couple recorded the ceremony for him, he sadly passed away before he could watch it.Cat took on the role of presenting This Morning in London while Patrick hosts The Late Late Show in Dublin(Image: PA Archive)When asked about her “biggest regret” by Grazia magazine in 2017, Cat opened up about the heartbreak, saying: “He died before he saw it. The good thing is we love it and, after two glasses of wine, Patrick and I put it on like a pair of losers.”The couple’s fans were shocked when details of their wedding emerged, especially since Patrick had denied being engaged just months before they tied the knot. Cat had already chosen her wedding dress before Patrick had even popped the question.During a 2021 appearance on Lorraine, she revealed: “Mine [wedding dress] is in the cupboard somewhere but I’d actually already got my dress before… It wasn’t because I was feeling lucky, I promise! It was a couture dress from Alexander McQueen – a shift white dress.”She continued: “It was so beautiful that I just couldn’t not buy it and I hadn’t even met Paddy at that stage. I literally put it in my cupboard and I was like I’ll wear it to something… I’ll wear it to some awards. There you go.”Cat and Patrick have two children together. In a statement announcing their separation this week, they said: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley were trying to juggle their work commitments(Image: Getty Images North America)”We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment.”Cat’s rise to fame began when she presented SM:TV Live alongside Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. She met Patrick in 2002 on Fame Academy, but they didn’t start dating until almost a decade later.RTE presenter Patrick claimed he won Cat over with a grand romantic gesture. In an interview with The Daily Mail, he said: “Unless someone was stupid enough to get on a plane, nothing would have happened.”Patrick explained: “Cat was in LA and I was in Northern Ireland, so I texted her to wish her a happy birthday. When she said she was having a birthday lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel, I said I’d be there. She told me to go to sleep as I was drunk.Article continues below”That was 2am. I got up at 5am, went to Belfast airport for 6am, got the 7.15am flight to Heathrow, landed at 8.30am, took off again at 9.40am and arrived in LA at 1.15pm.”The couple had previously resided in the US while Cat hosted So You Think You Can Dance, but they relocated back to the UK in 2020.

TV presenters Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have recently announced they are separating after 12 years of marriage and Patrick previously opened up about their relationship struggles19:10, 31 Jul 2025Updated 19:17, 31 Jul 2025Patrick Kielty admitted his marriage to Cat Deeley was not a “50/50 partnership”.The TV personalities recently announced that they are parting ways and two years before the sad news, Patrick made a major confession about their marriage.During an appearance on The Mid-Point podcast back in July 2023, when asked about how he and Cat handled major decisions Patrick chuckled: “For a long time I genuinely thought I was in a 50/50 partnership. Then you realise you’re actually a junior shareholder in a 50/50 partnership. You go: ‘I thought we were 50/50? Why do you seem to have more shares?'””I think with big decisions you kind of have to float stuff and see how that’s going to go. You know, drop that into conversation,” reports the Mirror.Pat and Cat left fans reeling when they revealed they’ve decided to end their 14-year romance. The pair broke the news in a shocking statement which read: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated.”The showbiz couple are parting ways after 12 years of marriage(Image: PA)”There is no other party involved.

It’s that idea that what attracts you is not going to keep you together.”The former couple have confirmed that no other party is involved in their split(Image: WireImage)”It’s that idea of how you work together whenever the rough and the smooth and all those things, it’s a journey. You put those kids into the mix and suddenly those priorities change, and all of those things.””I think anybody who feels they can put their feet up and go: ‘Yeah, that’s marriage cracked.’ You’re kind of going: ‘Really?!”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.

Blackadder legend Stephen Fry reckons the nine to five lifestyle is one big con and work isn’t a “natural condition of humanity”David O’Dornan and James Caven19:01, 31 Jul 2025Stephen Fry has given his verdict on AI(Image: Getty Images)Stephen Fry has welcomed the rise of bots and claimed humans are not supposed to work.The actor and TV host believes that we’ve been conned into toiling with nine to five labour as life has evolved. Stephen, 67, said: “We’re going to have to re-examine what work means over the next decade because of AI and so on. And this idea that jobs will be taken and there will be a large percentage now of the population where the mixture of robots and AI will be taking over the manual and indeed the white collar work.“My point is that human beings have evolved over millions of years and we weren’t evolved to work. Work isn’t a natural condition of humanity in the sense of nine to five.”The Blackadder star said humans are “hunter gatherers” who essentially want to feed themselves and said “the big mistake we made was to stop and settle”. He told the Life’s A Beach podcast that alpha males then got castles and became aristocrats and people became forced to work for them.He reckons we have nothing to fear from the robots(Image: Getty Images)Stephen added: “The people who laboured in the fields had just enough calories to keep them labouring in fields – and this idea of work slowly developed. This idea that you develop more and more money, the middle classes grew and grew, get on a train, go to work. This is not what we were created for, animals don’t do that. You know, there isn’t anything holy about work.“You have to remember, whatever you see from AI Now, it’s never going to be this primitive again. So don’t judge anything you see now and go, ‘Oh, I saw it do that, it wasn’t very impressive.’ Well of course it wasn’t. AI Now is the equivalent of a gigantic mobile phone.”It comes after William Shatner revealed he is planning to live forever by creating a hologram-style avatar of himself. The ABBA-style hologram will chat to his loved ones after he dies.Article continues belowThe Star Trek legend, 94, has signed up to a programme run by AI firm StoryFile that lets customers “preserve” their lives, stories and wisdom to pass on to future generations.
