Rod Stewart has hit out at US President and former friend Donald Trump during his live performance in Canada, taking aim at his threats to make the nation the “51st state”16:30, 26 Jul 2025Updated 16:46, 26 Jul 2025This wasn’t the first time Rod had made a cheeky dig…(Image: Getty Images)Rock legend Rod Stewart took another swing at US President Donald Trump during a live gig in Canada. While belting out tunes at Toronto’s Budweiser Stage on his One Last Stop tour, Rod didn’t mince his words.He belted out a cheeky rendition of Gloria Gaynor’s 1978 anthem “I Will Survive,” tweaking the lyrics to celebrate Canada’s resilience against Trump’s jibes about turning it into “America’s 51st state”.The revamped lyrics included zingers like “We spent so many nights thinking how you did us wrong, we’ve banded all together, your tariff made us strong,” and “You know you’re not so great, there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell we’ll be your 51st state,” plus “We have all we really need, we will live without your greed, we will survive.”Rod capped off his performance with a defiant “51st state my f****** ass!” followed by a rallying cry of “Go on Canada!”.Rod Stewart hit out at Donald Trump live on stage(Image: Getty)The crowd lapped it up, with one fan writing: “Yup the entire world supports us, no matter what lies the crybaby conboy makes up.”, reports the Express.Another quipped: “The only 51st the US is going to see is their world literacy ranking.”Rod’s stage antics came hot on the heels of Trump’s bluster towards Canada, which was itself a retort to Ontario Premier Doug Ford’s bold statement: “If the US escalates, I will not hesitate to shut off electricity completely.”Taking to social media, President Trump announced: “Based on Ontario, Canada, placing a 25% Tariff on ‘Electricity’ coming into the United States, I have instructed my Secretary of Commerce to add an ADDITIONAL 25% Tariff.”Donald Trump sparked uproar with his comments about Canada(Image: Getty)Trump labelled the Canadian tariff an “abusive threat” to the US and suggested that “the only thing that makes sense is for Canada to become our cherished Fifty First State. This would make all Tariffs, and everything else, totally disappear.”Once amicable, the relationship between Rod and Trump has deteriorated since Trump’s presidency, with the singer expressing a change of heart: “I don’t consider him a friend anymore.”Speaking to Radio Times, he shared: “I’m not a great fan of Trump. I knew him very, very well. I used to go to his house.”I live literally half a mile away… We’re both on the beach. I used to go to his Christmas parties. He’s always been a bit of a man’s man. I liked him for that.”But he didn’t, as far as I’m concerned, treat women very well. But since he became President, he became another guy. Somebody I didn’t know.”Article continues belowHave you joined Threads? Follow Daily Star to keep up to date on all things showbiz hereWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?

Gemma Collins is reported to be ‘in talks’ to sign up for I’m A Celebrity: All Stars, which is due to hit our screens next year, as the pay day is “too good to turn down”15:38, 26 Jul 2025Could The GC be returning to the I’m A Celebrity… jungle?(Image: Dave Benett/Getty Images)She’s the diva who’s never far from a headline – and Gemma Collins is set to grab some more as she prepares to head back into the jungle, nearly a decade after her famous early exit. This time, however, it’s a whole different ballgame and there’s serious money (and pride) on the line.The 43-year-old reality star is reportedly on the verge of inking a contract for I’m A Celebrity: All Stars, the spin-off series being filmed this autumn and scheduled to air next year. Sources suggest the proposition is “too good to turn down”.An insider reveals to new: “ITV bosses love Gemma because they know they’ll get plenty of drama and some fabulous diva moments. She might not last long – in fact, she probably won’t – but that will make it funny and unmissable viewing. They want her in there, they know the GC is a box office winner. Love her or loathe her, whether she cries, stamps her feet or has people in stitches, she’ll win viewers and that’s what they want.”Gemma has been keeping a relatively low profile – by GC standards – so she knows this could be a real boost. There’s an awful lot riding on it. Following years of weight battles she has lost two stone recently, she’s in a good place. She’s feeling more confident than ever and has said she can’t wait to show off her body in a bikini on the show.”Gemma’s brief jungle stint was in 2014(Image: PA)But while the hefty payday might seem like a dream – her potential fee is whispered to be £150,000, a stark contrast to the £40,000 she reportedly pocketed for her initial jungle venture in 2014 – it’s undeniable that it carries a significant amount of pressure, reports the Mirror.The jungle rumours surface following a tough period for the ex-TOWIE star, who last month disclosed that she had to ramp up security at her Essex abode after falling prey to a stalker – an episode she recounted as one of the most “frightening” encounters of her life.A triumphant return to the jungle could be the lift she’s looking for. But will she be able to endure this time around?Viewers will recall her fleeting stint in 2014, where she left an impression but also faced backlash when she dramatically exited after a mere three days.Gemma Collins is engaged to Rami Hawash(Image: Getty Images for Pimm’s)Who could erase from memory her helicopter meltdown, her adamant refusal to consume jungle cuisine and those tearful admissions in the Bush Telegraph? It was quintessential GC and that’s precisely why taking part in the All Stars edition, set to be shot in South Africa, might be a golden chance.Previously divulging the true reason behind her early departure in 2014, she confessed: “My time was short in the jungle and not many people know that I was robbed and physically attacked 24 hours before leaving for Australia. I didn’t want to let anyone down, so I still went in. However, I was in a terrible state and shock, as you can imagine, and couldn’t see it through.Article continues below”I took lots of stick over it, but if you were robbed and attacked and then sent into the jungle, I’m sure you would have struggled, too. I would never let anyone destroy my dreams again.”Have you joined Threads?

Their BBC reality show, This is Us, which documents their life at Pickle Cottage, is just one of the many commitments they juggle alongside raising their children.According to the source, Joe is feeling the pressure, particularly with the demands of filming. “Joe is under a lot of pressure. He’s a wonderful father and does so much. They’ve still got young children so it’s hard work, especially with most of them still demanding their parents’ attention,” the source told New Magazine.The source also claims that Stacey’s other projects, including her popular BBC show Sort Your Life Out, which she has been filming across the country, have led to Joe taking on more responsibilities at home. Last week, the pair featured on Celebrity Gogglebox, causing a stir when Joe humorously suggested he wanted to “get away” from his partner.Joe Swash is struggling under the pressure, according to a source(Image: BBC)”When the kids grow up, I’m going to the moon to get away from you. You’re off your head,” Joe quipped, leaving Stacey in fits of laughter. Despite their ability to laugh at their on-screen squabbles, an insider suggests it hasn’t been all smooth sailing behind the scenes, reports the Mirror.”The pressure is starting to show. They thought they could be The Waltons version of The Kardashians, but it’s such hard work,” they revealed.The source added, “There’s tension in the air and there is a bit of bickering. But it puts a strain on any relationship. You look at those on reality shows, such as the wives in The Real Housewives, with cameras in their houses 24/7, and a lot of their relationships crack under the pressure.”Stacey is doing her best to try and support Joe(Image: INSTAGRAM)Stacey, 35, and Joe, 43, frequently give fans a glimpse into their family life – the good, the bad and the humorous – on their social media platforms.

Stacey is also mum to Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 12, while Joe has an 18 year old son Harry from his previous relationship with Emma Sophocleous.They’ve been candid about the challenges of family life, with the first series of their TV show capturing several difficult moments between them. One episode revealed Stacey’s disappointment when Joe failed to arrive in time to look after the kids so she could attend a crucial meeting.Stacey and Joe have a blended family of six children(Image: BBC)Her husband eventually turned up five hours late, much to Stacey’s visible distress.”Joe was supposed to come to this meeting, but he’s been delayed indefinitely it seems,” Stacey shared with the camera. When Joe finally arrived, he apologised for being “20 minutes late” due to traffic, only for a frustrated Stacey to correct him that he was actually several hours late.The show also saw Joe discussing his struggles with ADHD as he met with a psychiatrist to help him better understand his diagnosis. He confessed that he wasn’t “in the best place”.”I would love to know what I can actually do to support him because I try my hardest but I think sometimes I probably escalate the situation because I get frustrated,” confessed Stacey after discussing Joe’s appointment. She continued, “I just want to be there to support Joe, whatever that means.”Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?
