CP NewsAlert: Trump calls Florida meeting with Trudeau productiveNoneThree long days of counting in the General Election finished late on Monday night when the final two seats were declared in the constituency of Cavan-Monaghan. Fianna Fail was the clear winner of the election, securing 48 of the Dail parliament’s 174 seats. Sinn Fein took 39 and Fine Gael 38. Labour and the Social Democrats both won 11 seats; People Before Profit-Solidarity took three; Aontu secured two; and the Green Party retained only one of its 12 seats. Independents and others accounted for 21 seats. The return of a Fianna Fail/Fine Gael-led coalition is now highly likely. However, their combined seat total of 86 leaves them just short of the 88 needed for a majority in the Dail. While the two centrist parties that have dominated Irish politics for a century could look to strike a deal with one of the Dail’s smaller centre-left parties, such as the Social Democrats or Labour, a more straightforward route to a majority could be achieved by securing the support of several independent TDs. For Fianna Fail leader Micheal Martin and current taoiseach and Fine Gael leader Simon Harris, wooing like-minded independents would be likely to involve fewer policy concessions, and financial commitments, than would be required to convince another party to join the government benches. Longford-Westmeath independent TD Kevin “Boxer” Moran, who served in a Fine Gael-led minority government between 2017 and 2020, expressed his willingness to listen to offers to join the new coalition in Dublin. “Look, my door’s open,” he told RTE. “Someone knocks, I’m always there to open it.” Marian Harkin, an independent TD for Sligo-Leitrim, expressed her desire to participate in government as she noted that Fianna Fail and Fine Gael were within “shouting distance” of an overall majority. “That means they will be looking for support, and I certainly will be one of those people who will be speaking to them and talking to them and negotiating with them, and I’m looking forward to doing that, because that was the reason that I ran in the first place,” she said. Meanwhile, the Social Democrats and Irish Labour Party both appear cautious about the prospect of an alliance with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael. They will no doubt be mindful of the experience of the Green Party, the junior partner in the last mandate. The Greens experienced near wipeout in the election, retaining only one of their 12 seats. Sinn Fein appears to currently have no realistic route to government, given Fianna Fail and Fine Gael’s ongoing refusal to share power with the party. Despite the odds being stacked against her party, Sinn Fein president Mary Lou McDonald contacted the leaders of the Social Democrats and Labour on Monday to discuss options. Earlier, Fianna Fail deputy leader and outgoing Finance Minister Jack Chambers predicted that a new coalition government would not be in place before Christmas. Mr Chambers said planned talks about forming an administration required “time and space” to ensure that any new government will be “coherent and stable”. After an inconclusive outcome to the 2020 election, it took five months for Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and the Greens to strike the last coalition deal. Mr Chambers said he did not believe it would take that long this time, as he noted the Covid-19 pandemic was a factor in 2020, but he also made clear it would not be a swift process. He said he agreed with analysis that there was no prospect of a deal before Christmas. “I don’t expect a government to be formed in mid-December, when the Dail is due to meet on December 18, probably a Ceann Comhairle (speaker) can be elected, and there’ll have to be time and space taken to make sure we can form a coherent, stable government,” he told RTE. “I don’t think it should take five months like it did the last time – Covid obviously complicated that. But I think all political parties need to take the time to see what’s possible and try and form a stable government for the Irish people.” Fine Gael minister of state Peter Burke said members of his parliamentary party would have to meet to consider their options before giving Mr Harris a mandate to negotiate a new programme for government with Fianna Fail. “It’s important that we have a strong, stable, viable government, whatever form that may be, to ensure that we can meet the challenges of our society, meet the challenges in terms of the economic changes that are potentially going to happen,” he told RTE. Despite being set to emerge with the most seats, it has not been all good news for Fianna Fail. The party’s outgoing Health Minister Stephen Donnelly became one of the biggest casualties of the election when he lost his seat in Wicklow in the early hours of Monday morning. Mr Donnelly was always predicted to face a fight in the constituency after boundary changes saw it reduced from five to four seats. If it is to be a reprise of the Fianna Fail/Fine Gael governing partnership of the last mandate, one of the major questions is around the position of taoiseach and whether the parties will once again take turns to hold the Irish premiership during the lifetime of the new government. The outcome in 2020 saw the parties enter a coalition on the basis that the holder of the premier position would be exchanged midway through the term. Fianna Fail leader Mr Martin took the role for the first half of the mandate, with Leo Varadkar taking over in December 2022. Current Fine Gael leader Mr Harris succeeded Mr Varadkar as taoiseach when he resigned from the role earlier this year. However, this time Fianna Fail has significantly increased its seat lead over Fine Gael, compared with the last election when there were only three seats between the parties. The size of the disparity in party numbers is likely to draw focus on the rotating taoiseach arrangement, raising questions as to whether it will be re-run in the next coalition and, if it is, on what terms. On Sunday, Simon Coveney, a former deputy leader of Fine Gael, said a coalition that did not repeat the rotating taoiseach arrangement in some fashion would be a “difficult proposition” for his party. Meanwhile, Fine Gael minister Paschal Donohoe said he would be making the case for Mr Harris to have another opportunity to serve as taoiseach. On Monday, Mr Chambers said while his party would expect to lead the government it would approach the issue of rotating the taoiseach’s role on the basis of “mutual respect” with Fine Gael. “I think the context of discussions and negotiations will be driven by mutual respect, and that’s the glue that will drive a programme for government and that’s the context in which we’ll engage,” he said. On Monday, Labour leader Ivana Bacik reiterated her party’s determination to forge an alliance with fellow centre-left parties with the intention of having a unified approach to the prospect of entering government. Asked if Labour was prepared to go into government with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael on its own, she told RTE: “No, not at this stage. We are absolutely not willing to do that. “We want to ensure there’s the largest number of TDs who share our vision and our values who want to deliver change on the same basis that we do.” The Social Democrats have been non-committal about any potential arrangement with Fianna Fail and Fine Gael, and have restated a series of red lines they would need to achieve before considering taking a place in government. Leader Holly Cairns, who gave birth to a daughter on polling day on Friday, said in a statement: “The party is in a very strong position to play an important role in the next Dail. In what position, government or opposition, remains to be seen.” Fianna Fail secured the most first preference votes in Friday’s proportional representation election, taking 21.9% to Fine Gael’s 20.8%. Sinn Fein came in third on 19%. While Sinn Fein’s vote share represented a marked improvement on its disappointing showing in June’s local elections in Ireland, it is still significantly down on the 24.5% poll-topping share it secured in the 2020 general election. The final breakdown of first preferences also flipped the result of Friday night’s exit poll, which suggested Sinn Fein was in front on 21.1%, with Fine Gael on 21% and Fianna Fail on 19.5%.
NFC's No. 1 seed comes down to Vikings-Lions showdown at Detroit in Week 18The Transportation Security Administration has some reminders for those heading to airports during the holidays. “People seem to forget some of the more common and routine steps that they need to take when packing for a flight or when they are going through a checkpoint, perhaps because they’re focused on being at their destination and not focusing on what needs to happen before getting there,” said TSA officer Christopher Kirchein of John F. Kennedy International Airport. “Travelers sometimes ignore the advice that we give them,” said TeaNeisha Barker, a TSA uniformed adviser. “We are providing guidance so that they get through the checkpoint as simply and conveniently as possible. Not every airport has the same technology, so listen to the guidance we are offering.” “Passengers forget that knives and other weapons are not allowed through our checkpoints. It’s shocking to see so many people with knives,” said TSA officer Aisha Hicks of Philadelphia International Airport. “Weapons of any kind are prohibited through a TSA checkpoint.” TSA officers shared this list of the common things that travelers forget and should remember when coming to a security checkpoint. Ten things that travelers need to remember when preparing to go through the security screening process: • Remember that you cannot bring bottles of water, energy drinks, juice, coffee, soda or any filled insulated reusable container through a security checkpoint. However, they can finish their beverage and bring the empty bottle or container with them. • Remember to bring your ID to the checkpoint. • Remember when TSA officers remind you to remove everything from your pockets that it does not only mean metallic items such as keys and mobile phones, but it means everything, including non-metallic items such as tissues, lip balm, breath mints, etc. • Remember that you cannot bring a firearm through a checkpoint. Instead, pack your unloaded firearm in a locked hard-sided case and declare it at your airline check-in counter and the airline will ensure it is transported in the belly of the plane where nobody has access to it. • Remember that you need to remove your shoes when getting screened and then end up barefoot on the floor. It’s probably a good idea to wear socks. • Remember that children 12 and under are allowed to travel through a TSA PreCheck screening lane with a parent who has TSA PreCheck on their boarding pass. In addition, don’t forget that children up to the age of 18 can also come into the TSA PreCheck lane with their parent if they are on the same airline reservation as their parent. • Remember that passengers that appear 12 and under or 75 and older do not need to remove their shoes and light jacket. • Remember, if you are putting a lock on your luggage, make sure it is a TSA compatible lock so that if TSA officers need to open your luggage, they can unlock it and relock it. If the lock is not TSA compliant, TSA officers who need to open your luggage will cut off the lock, rendering it useless. • Remember that you can bring medications through a security checkpoint, even liquid medication. Just let the TSA officer know that you have liquid medication with you so it can be screened separately. • Remember to get a REAL ID-compliant driver’s license sooner rather than later because REAL ID goes into effect on May 7.Mexican authorities find 11 clandestine graves with 15 bodies near border with Guatemala
Rebel forces and allied militants launched a significant offensive last week against Syrian government forces in northwestern Syria, capturing Aleppo, the country’s second-largest city. This marks the largest escalation in Syria’s civil war since it began in 2011. Aleppo, once known as Syria’s economic capital, had been controlled by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government since 2016, when government forces, aided by Iranian-backed militias and Russian airstrikes, drove out rebel forces from the eastern parts of the city. Multiple rebel factions and militant groups participated in the battle for Aleppo, code-named Operation Deterrence of Aggression, and headed by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, or HTS, an Islamist group that controls most of Idlib province in northwest Syria. Formerly known as al-Nusra Front, it was the main affiliate of al-Qaida in Syria until 2017, when it formally severed ties with the global terror group. According to Aaron Zelin, a senior fellow at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, the group’s current ideology is rooted in local rather than global goals. “I still consider them extremists. They still have some foreign fighters in their ranks, and they also backed Hamas' October 7 attack against Israel,” Zelin told VOA, referring to the attack carried out by the Palestinian militant group in 2023, which killed about 1,200 people. HTS Is estimated to have up to 30,000 fighters, largely concentrated in northwestern Syria. “They essentially situate themselves as what I describe as sort of these political jihadists, where theology no longer guides every action they do, like ISIS or al-Qaida, whereas they put in a lot more political considerations related to this, but they are still very much interested in jihad, as we can see the way that they frame this fight,” Zelin said, referring an acronym for the Islamic State. “One of the ways that I look at the issue is that they essentially went from global jihad to a local regime,” he added. Turkey-backed rebels Among the other armed groups involved in the Aleppo offensive was the Syrian National Army, or SNA, an umbrella organization for several factions backed by Turkey. The SNA was established in 2017 as the armed force of the Turkish-backed Syrian Interim Government, which had gained control of parts of northwestern Syria. The SNA previously took part in two Turkish-backed offensives against Kurdish forces in 2018 and 2019. Some groups aligned with the SNA have been known for their radical Islamist ideology. Last year, the U.S. Treasury Department imposed sanctions on the Suleiman Shah Brigade and the Hamza Division, two main factions within the SNA, for “serious human rights abuses against those residing in the Afrin region of northern Syria.” Caroline Rose, director of the Strategic Blind Spots portfolio at the Washington-based New Lines Institute, said, “It appears that there is tentative, fragile collaboration between HTS and the SNA, following years of tension and infighting. “While Turkey had belatedly intervened in the rivalry in respect to security in Syria’s northwest, it’s clear that Ankara invested in fostering greater partnership between HTS and the SNA to conduct this offensive into Aleppo,” she told VOA. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Monday during a press conference with his Iranian counterpart in Ankara that the latest escalation in Aleppo was the result of long-standing unresolved issues rather than external interventions. He attributed the violence to the Syrian government’s refusal to engage in dialogue with the opposition. As the Aleppo offensive was launched, another was simultaneously announced by the Turkey-backed SNA against U.S.-backed, Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, or SDF, in the northern countryside of Aleppo province, primarily around the town of Tel Rifaat. Turkey regards the SDF a terrorist organization. Rose said these different priorities could determine whether the HTS-SNA partnership can last. “While the SNA is pushing towards Tel Rifaat against SDF forces, HTS is concentrating on establishing proto governance in strategic locations in Aleppo,” she said. “Turkey will likely play on this rivalry and use it to its advantage as it seeks to redraw battle lines and create leverage with the Assad regime, the U.S., Iran and other actors engaging in Syria.” Several other groups that operate independently are also part of the Aleppo offensive, including Ahrar al-Sham, a coalition of armed Islamist factions established at the beginning of Syria’s conflict. Another Islamist group, the Nour al-Din al-Zenki Movement, emerged in Aleppo in 2014 and has maintained close ties with HTS. This story originated in VOA’s Kurdish service.
An unexpected friendship has emerged in the latest I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! between Loose Women star GK Barry and Reverend Richard Coles, with fans clamouring for a podcast featuring the duo. During Monday's episode, the pair engaged in a touching conversation in the jungle. Known off-screen as Grace, GK queried Richard about his experience of reconciling his faith with being gay, asking: "Did you find it quite difficult being gay and doing that job?" Richard was frank in his response, saying: "No, not at all. I've never given it a moment's twinge of anxiety over whether God thought it was alright or not. Whether other people thought it was alright or not, well I'm happy to have that argument." When discussing his sexuality, he admitted: "Also, I was not the first. Sometimes I look at documents from the early church, or the church of the middle ages and I just think - so gay," reports . GK expressed surprise at her jungle connections during a candid Bush Telegraph admission, noting: "I came into this jungle, maybe not knowing who I would gel with or who I would be close with in here and never in a million years if you told me that I would be getting on best with a reverend would I have believed you. But, he is honestly... I think he might be my favourite person in here." Further conversations saw GK reminisce about her past religious involvement, including a time she attended a religious camp as a young girl, where she was advised against premarital sex. Even then, at 13, her reaction was one of early defiance: "Well, that's not gonna happen. I see my future and it involves scissoring now." After GK explained "scissoring" to the Rev, the exchange soon shifted to GK inquiring of Richard who he considered the most fascinating person he's encountered. To which Richard responded: "I think I'm looking at her." Social media was abuzz with comments on the burgeoning friendship, with one user likening the duo to former campmates Georgia Toffolo and Stanley Johnson, remarking: "GK and Richard's friendship reminds me so much of Toff and Stanley." Another viewer exclaimed: "GK Barry and Rev are fantastic Together." And a further comment echoed the sentiment: "Gk Barry and the rev is giving Toff and Stanley!" Calls for future collaborations were evident, with a fan suggesting: "We need to get GK Barry and Rev. Richard Coles a video podcast after this." Meanwhile, elsewhere on the show, there appeared to be new tensions emerging in the jungle as Dean McCullough chose to ignore Tulisa Constostavlos's plea. On Sunday's episode of the Australian-set reality series, changes came about when Tulisa and Coronation Street actor Alan Halsall concluded their tenure as leaders, relinquishing their roles to McFly's Danny Jones and boxing great Barry McGuigan. This change meant they had to forgo their privileged beds in the Leaders' Lodge and join the rest of the contestants in the standard camp set-up. Tulisa opted for a place near the campfire but cautioned Radio 1 Breakfast Show's Dean McCullough against belting out any musical theatre tunes early in the morning, asserting it would not sit well with her. In the episode aired on Monday, Tulisa chose to have a lie-in until her fellow campmates decided to rouse her with some musical theatre tunes. Dean revealed: "Now that she's out of the Leaders' Lodge, Tulisa has warned me that there must be no musical theatre early in the morning, so I made it my mission to make sure the camp woke up this morning with the sound of lovely singing!" In other news, Maura Higgins, who joined the camp late, celebrated her 34th birthday, while Dean took on his sixth Bushtucker Trial, Jack and the Scream Stalk, breaking his previous record by collecting 10 out of the 12 stars.

A couple cradles their newborn on a couch, bathed in warm light, as health officials discuss safety protocols in the background. The birth of a baby is a moment of immense joy, but it also brings with it many health considerations, especially for preterm babies. In the first few days of life, newborn screening plays a critical role in identifying health problems that might not be obvious at birth. These early tests can be a lifeline, particularly for preterm babies who are at a higher risk of health complications due to underdeveloped organs. As medical technology advances, newborn screening continues to be one of the most important tools in shaping a baby's long-term health. What is Newborn Screening? Newborn screening is a set of simple blood tests done within the first 24 to 48 hours after birth. The tests detect a variety of genetic, metabolic, and endocrine disorders that may not be visible at birth but could have serious health consequences if left untreated. A few drops of blood are taken from the baby’s heel and analyzed to screen for conditions that could affect the baby's metabolism, hormones, or ability to break down certain substances in the body. Some of the most critical conditions detected through newborn screening include: • Congenital Hypothyroidism: If untreated, this condition can lead to developmental delays. Early diagnosis and hormone replacement therapy allow babies to develop normally. • Phenylketonuria (PKU): A metabolic disorder that prevents the body from breaking down certain proteins. If not managed with a special diet, it can cause severe intellectual disabilities. Early detection allows for a dietary change that helps the child grow and learn like others. • Sickle Cell Disease: A genetic blood disorder that can cause severe pain and organ damage. Early treatment can manage symptoms and prevent complications. • Cystic Fibrosis: A genetic disorder that affects the lungs and digestive system. With early intervention including respiratory treatments and nutritional support, children with cystic fibrosis can live longer, healthier lives. • Galactosemia: A condition where the body cannot break down a sugar found in milk, leading to serious health problems. Early detection allows for a special diet that prevents complications. • Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A hormonal disorder that can affect growth and development. Early treatment helps manage symptoms and prevent long-term health problems. These conditions are just a few examples of what newborn screening can detect. Early detection enables neonatologists to start treatment promptly, allowing children to grow and develop normally leading to healthier lives. Genetic and Metabolic Testing: Expanding the scope Thanks to advances in laboratory technology, newborn screening is becoming more comprehensive. Mass spectrometry allows doctors to screen for multiple metabolic disorders from a single blood sample. Today, specialized diagnostic labs offer expanded testing panels that check for a broader range of rare but serious genetic and metabolic disorders. For example, Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency (MCADD) is a metabolic disorder that affects how the body breaks down fats. If not detected early, it can lead to seizures or even death, especially during illness or fasting. However, with early screening, dietary changes can be made to prevent life-threatening episodes. World Health Day 2024: Your newborn's health checklist - Essential screening tests every new parent needs to know Additionally, genetic testing is being used more frequently to identify rare conditions that newborn screening may miss. By analysing genetic markers associated with specific disorders, doctors can gain a clearer understanding of a baby’s health, enabling more personalized and effective care. The role of pediatricians and parent education Newborn screening not only benefits individual children but also has a broader impact on families and healthcare systems. Pediatricians play a crucial role in interpreting the results of newborn screening and guiding parents through the process. When a screening test indicates a potential health issue, pediatricians will often recommend further testing to confirm the diagnosis. Based on these results, doctors can begin treatment plans that help manage the condition and prevent further complications. Equally important is educating parents about newborn screening. Many parents may feel anxious about their baby undergoing tests so soon after birth. By explaining why the tests are being done, what conditions are being checked for, and what the results mean, doctors, as well as counsellors, can help ease parent's concerns. Clear communication helps parents understand the importance of newborn screening, allowing them to make informed decisions about their baby's health. This not only boosts their confidence but also reduces the emotional and financial stress of facing a serious health issue down the road. Newborn screening remains one of the most important steps in giving every baby the healthiest start possible. Whether for full-term infants or preterm babies, the power of early detection and intervention cannot be overstated. By catching potential health issues early and providing timely treatment, newborn screening offers hope for a healthier, brighter future for all babies.

The Connecticut-based investment group is calling for several board directors to be replaced, and for an independent CEO search. The group made a in September 2023, which led to the appointment of in November, 2023, expanding the board to 12 members. But following ongoing losses and continued struggles for the mattress maker and retailer, Stadium remains unsatisfied, and on Monday, its public pressure grew harsher. “Given that these are the same directors who have overseen massive value destruction and failed to hold Ms. Ibach accountable for far too long, shareholders cannot trust the board as currently constructed to get this decision right,” Stadium Capital’s investment committee said. “A decision that will define the future of Sleep Number.” Stadium, which owns 11.7% of company shares, blamed Ibach for “a colossal destruction of shareholder value.” The group said it remains convinced a turnaround is possible, but not under current leadership. On Monday afternoon, shares of Sleep Number were trading at $14.85 per share, down considerably from a peak of over $142 a share back in March 2021. The company’s stock value has largely declined since that time. Sleep Number has reported losses in every quarter of 2024 so far, and for all of 2023. In response to the criticism, Sleep Number late Monday said the company and three of its board directors have engaged in more than a half dozen meetings with Stadium Capital’s principals and invited them to join a meeting with independent executive search firm Korn Ferry, which was engaged to find a new CEO. According to Sleep Number, Stadium did not participate in that meeting. “Stadium’s demand to insert itself in this process risks disrupting and delaying the search and could discourage qualified individuals and reduce the candidate pool, without any benefit to the Company or shareholders,” . “While we openly welcome input into the process from Stadium and other shareholders (and have received such input), we will not deviate from the approach our expert advisors have recommended because Stadium demands to have outsized influence.”
WAG Coleen Rooney is poised to sign a £1million TV deal after leaving the I’m A Celebrity jungle. McFly pop star Danny Jones is also being courted by ITV bosses for big new shows, insiders have revealed. The pair went head-to-head in tonight's finale after the Rev Richard Coles finished third. But before the show, insiders said if Coleen lost out on being crowned Jungle Queen, she was still on course to become one of the show’s most successful celebs. A source said: “She is poised to sign a huge new TV deal, worth around £1million.” It came as her mum, Colette, revealed her daughter asked her, “Have I been boring?” as they hugged during a camp visit this week with the Wag’s sons, Kit, eight, and Cass, six. READ MORE ON COLEEN ROONEY Colette said: “It broke my heart hearing that, but I said, ‘No, you’ve been yourself — and that’s all that matters’.” Coleen also got emotional after making the final three, saying: “It’s very rare I’m proud of myself, so it means a lot. It’s very rare that I put myself first. So, yeah, these are happy tears.” On her upcoming megabucks offers, a source told The Sun: “Coleen’s return to public life following the Wagatha Christie trial was carefully orchestrated — and it has more than paid off. “When she was in the jungle, she was being touted as ITV’s next Holly Willoughby and the offers have already started flooding in. Most read in I’m A Celebrity 2024 “But there is one deal on the table that has really piqued her team’s interest. “Given Coleen’s love of the Loose Women show too, the team want her secured on their guest roster, with a view to finding something more permanent for her. “It isn’t just TV deals — lifestyle and nutritional brands have all been sending lucrative contracts her way, as well as high street retailers. They all want a piece of Coleen. The sky’s the limit.” The mum of four, 38, will be reunited with hubby Wayne — the former England and Man United striker — this week when she flies back to the UK. He is now manager of Plymouth Argyle. Insiders said her family would be throwing a huge party to welcome her home. But while Coleen wades through the offers, those close to the her said she would not be rushing into making decisions and would wait until the New Year before deciding what she wants to do next. A source added: “Nothing will be agreed with any interested parties until Coleen sits down with her management team. “Her priority when she comes out the jungle will be spending time with family but these conversations will be had when the time is right.” Throughout I’m A Celeb, ITV has been heavily plugging her Real Wagatha Story documentary in ad breaks and at the end of the show, as part of a plan by execs to get her on board. This year, she won a libel battle with fellow Wag Rebekah Vardy , who she accused of leaking stories about her. Coleen had a tearful reunion with Kit and Cass, plus parents Tony and Colette as she crossed the jungle bridge. A source added: “Coleen is a mum first and foremost. Her children mean everything to her. “Doing the jungle was the first proper solo venture she has done in a long time so her next move will be chosen very carefully. “She will only take the deal that is right for her and her family.” After entering the jungle as the show’s highest-paid contestant ever — with a deal worth around £1.5million — Coleen won the hearts of the nation by showing how down-to-earth she is and by getting stuck into grim Bushtucker Trials. Doing the jungle was the first proper solo venture she has done in a long time so her next move will be chosen very carefully Meanwhile, ITV bosses are keen to secure McFly’s Danny long-term as one of the channel’s main players, alongside favourites including Joel Dommett and Bradley Walsh . The singer and guitarist, 38, had an emotional reunion with his wife Georgia and their six-year-old son Cooper as he crossed the famous bridge. He is already a judge on The Voice UK, alongside his bandmate Tom Fletcher , but insiders said telly bosses are keen to sign him up for more shows. A source said: “Danny is the embodiment of everything ITV loves. He’s fun, family-friendly and incredibly popular. Watching how popular he was on I’m A Celeb made him a key target for other shows they have coming up. “Danny’s a brilliant musician, but he is also great on telly. ITV bosses want to see if they can sign him on for another series of The Voice UK and there are other shows they think he could be perfect on.” Danny won over I’m A Celeb viewers early on as he opened up on his struggles with mental health . During the first week, he broke down in tears as he revealed he started having therapy for anxiety aged 19 after suffering a panic attack during a live TV interview. He also spoke about his estrangement from his dad Alan, 72, who he has not seen for 18 years after he left his mum, Kathy. Danny said: “He doesn’t speak to me. I just don’t think I’ve really . . . healed with it, maybe. I had a good relationship with my dad. He was my best mate until he left.” All of this year’s I’m A Celebrity stars joined the finalists for a wrap party at the JW Marriott hotel on the Gold Coast. It came a day after ex-Strictly Come Dancing pro Oti Mabuse was evicted from camp, leaving just three contestants to battle it out.
