The upcoming eleventh season of is set to premiere on January 19, with hosts and welcoming a brand new group of stars to the jungle. Ahead of the launch, has started dropping clues for which celebrities will be donning an Akubra, facing their fears and flying to South Africa. From TV personalities and sporting heroes to controversial reality stars and comedians, here’s everyone who may be appearing on 2025. The first celebrity Channel 10 teased is an Olympic star who is “no stranger to making headlines”. “They’re a freestyle lover, but how much will they love being free with creepy crawlies when they land in the jungle?” they said. Viewers immediately took to social media to predict that the celebrity is none other than , who broke the internet and became a household name thanks to her performance at the 2024 Olympics. “I’m boycotting the show if it’s Raygun,” one person commented, while another added, “I will not watch if Raygun goes into the jungle”. “If Raygun is there, just vote her in for EVERY SINGLE tucker trial,” a third remarked. A source close to production told earlier this month that Raygun had changed her mind after previously anytime soon and was “very close to signing on”. “Raygun is one name at the top of the list who bosses have been working on since she went viral,” they shared. “Initially Raygun’s team declined, but now she’s realising her window to make big money is quickly closing - and it’s unlikely she’ll ever get a six-figure sum to do a show ever again.” A Channel 10 insider told that controversial groom has reportedly been brought up “several times” within the network's discussions, although it’s unclear if he’s received an actual offer to appear. “Channel 10 wants the show to go back to being talked about in every office across Australia every morning, with huge personalities clashing in every episode,” our source detailed. “Harrison may not be the biggest name, but his views on women and feminism will infuriate people across the country and generate discussion - and they need a villain.” Former judge is another star tipped to join the new season. Our insider told us that Channel 10 likely won’t renew for a third season next year due to low ratings, however, they “don’t want to lose their relationship” with the food critic and are hoping to cast her on another show. “What has happened in the past with Channel 10’s ‘network talent’ after their flagship show gets cancelled is that they get offered a significant pay cheque to enter the jungle,” our source shared. “We saw that with Tristan McManus last year after was axed. He was reluctant but eventually agreed as the network promised him more work if he signed up for the reality show.”
NEW DELHI (AP) — Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Hindu nationalist party headed for a victory Saturday in state elections in politically significant Maharashtra while the opposition won mineral-rich Jharkhand state. Polling in the two states are seen as a test of Modi's popularity after his party returned to power in June national elections but was forced to form a coalition government with help from regional partners. India’s Election Commission said Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party and its allies have already won 183 of 288 seats and were leading in another 48 seats in Maharashtra, India’s wealthiest state and home to the country's financial and entertainment capital, Mumbai. The opposition Congress party and its allies have won 50 of 81 seats and were leading in another four seats in eastern Jharkhand state, according to the commission. It said vote counting was nearing completion and final results were expected later on Saturday. Modi's BJP and a Hindu nationalist ally currently rule Maharashtra, where Hindus constitute nearly 80% and Muslims 11.5% of its 126 million people. An opposition alliance, including the Congress party, is in power in eastern Jharkhand state. The BJP has used slogans such as, “If you divide, then you will die,” and “If we are united, then we are safe,” to attract majority Hindu votes. The opposition accused it of trying to polarize voters along Hindu-Muslim religious lines. Meanwhile, Priyanka Gandhi from Congress party, the 52-year-old scion of the Nehru-Gandhi political dynasty, is set to make her debut in Parliament after winning the race against a Communist Party candidate by a huge margin of over 400,000 votes in the Wayanad seat in southern Kerala state. She contested a special election after her brother Rahul, who was elected in two constituencies in June, had to vacate one. Her mother Sonia Gandhi is already in Parliament. The BJP had hoped to attract women with a plan that provides 1,500 rupees ($18) a month to over 20 million women in the 21-65 age group whose annual family income is less than 250,000 rupees ($3,010). The Congress party promised women double that amount and free transportation in government buses. The opposition also hoped to capitalize on the simmering disaffection with high youth unemployment, inflation and low crop prices during the BJP’s rule. In September, Congress was able to secure votes in India’s insurgency-wracked Jammu and Kashmir after a 10-year gap. But Modi’s BJP regained momentum in October and won the Haryana state election even though pollsters had predicted an easy victory for Congress.Here's how I'd use a £20k Stocks and Shares ISA to help build generational wealth
‘This is our moment to lead, innovate, and break the status quo’: Gautam AdaniPresident-elect Donald Trump’s lawyers urge judge to toss his hush money conviction
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Two New Hampshire fathers who were barred from school district events for wearing pink wristbands marked “XX” to represent female chromosomes insisted at a federal court hearing Thursday that they didn't set out to harass or otherwise target a transgender soccer player at the game they attended. But a judge hearing the case suggested the message the parents sent may matter more than their intentions. Kyle Fellers and Anthony Foote sued the Bow school district after being banned from school grounds for wearing the wristbands at their daughters' soccer game in September. The no-trespass orders have since expired, but a judge is deciding whether the plaintiffs should be allowed to wear the wristbands and carry signs at upcoming school events, including basketball games, swim meets and a music concert, while the case proceeds. Testifying at Thursday's hearing, both men said that they did not view the wristbands as a protest against Parker Tirrell, a transgender girl on the opposing team, but rather as a show of support for their daughters and their teammates. U.S. District Court Judge Steven McAuliffe questioned whether there is a meaningful distinction and whether their intentions matter. “Sometimes the message you think you’re sending might not be the message that is being sent,” he said. McAuliffe asked Foote whether it occurred to him that a transgender person might interpret the pink XX wristbands as an attempt to invalidate their existence. “If he’s a trans female, pink might be a color he likes,” Foote said. McAuliffe also noted that while both plaintiffs said they had no problem with transgender people outside the issue of sports, they repeatedly referred to the athlete in question as a boy. “You seem to go out of your way to suggest there’s no such thing as a trans girl,” McAuliffe said. Foote disagreed, saying it was “like learning a new language” to refer to transgender people. In a separate courtroom earlier Thursday, another judge held a hearing on a lawsuit brought by Parker Tirrell and another student challenging the state law that bans transgender athletes in grades 5 to 12 from teams that align with their gender identity. It requires schools to designate all teams as either girls, boys or coed, with eligibility determined based on students’ birth certificates “or other evidence.” U.S. District Court Chief Judge Landya McCafferty ruled earlier this year that the teens can try out for and play on girls school sports teams. The order only applies to those two individuals for now as they seek to overturn the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act on behalf of all transgender girl students in New Hampshire. Lawyers for the teens said in court Thursday they hoped the matter could go to trial and be resolved before the start of the next school year in September. They said the teens’ school districts and others in the state have asked for guidance regarding the statute. Lawyers for the state said they needed more time to prepare. Judge Talesha Saint-Marc suggested the timing of the trial was ambitious and asked that both sides talk further about scheduling. Gov. Chris Sununu, who signed the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act into law in July, has said it “ensures fairness and safety in women’s sports by maintaining integrity and competitive balance in athletic competitions.” About half of states have adopted similar measures. In the Bow case, school district officials have said they acted appropriately in sanctioning the parents for conduct they knew violated school policy at athletic events. They'll explain their evidence on Friday. On Thursday, the plaintiff's lawyer, Endel Kolde, accused the district of “breathtaking” overreach by asserting that the wristbands target transgender students in general, regardless of whether such students were present at the events. “This is viewpoint discrimination, and it’s very clear they’re proud of it,” Kolde said. Kolde initially conceded that a school district can limit speech “to some degree” to protect children from harassment, but he stopped short of agreeing with the judge’s claim that yelling “transgender students out” at a particular player would be subject to such regulation. “It might be,” he said. “I’m trying to get you to concede the obvious,” McAuliffe said. “It’s less than obvious to me,” Kolde said. Feller, the first witness in the case involving the wristbands, said he purchased them thinking his daughter and her teammates would wear them, but ended up wearing one himself after they declined. After being told to leave the game, he stood in the parking lot with a sign that said “Protect women’s sports for female athletes.” “I wanted to support women’s sports and I believed what was going on was a travesty,” he said.Sean 'Diddy' Combs denied bail

ENGLAND'S smart motorways are set to switch off today as part of an essential tech update. The roads will remain open throughout the coming week but things like car-detection software and variable speed limit signs will be unavailable. Smart motorways are those that include an adaptive lane which can be used as normal but turned into a hard shoulder at a moment's notice if a car is forced to pull over and stop. The idea is to increase traffic flow while still retaining a hard shoulder in the event of breakdowns. Controversy over the safety of the scheme led to the further rollout of smart motorways being halted by the Government last year. But stretches of the UK's road network still make use of the tech, including the M42, M25, M23 and M62. READ MORE MOTORS NEWS Now, National Highways has confirmed that many of these will be affected by crucial maintenance work in the coming days. This will start tonight with smart motorways in all regions of the country affected from 10pm to 3am tomorrow morning. Then, from December 2 to December 4, there will be extensive work carried out on several motorways during the daytime. Starting on Monday, the M23 will be affected from J10 to J8, as well as the M25 from J12 to J14, with the disruption lasting from 10am to 2pm and 3pm respectively. Most read in Motors The next day will see the M25 affected in the opposite direction from J14 to J13, while all motorways in the East region will be impacted from 9am to noon. These are coupled with a series of overnight work, with J7a of the M42 affected from 10.30pm to 5am both Monday and Tuesday night. And another "all regions" shutdown will take place from 11pm on December 3 to 1am on December 4. No closures are planned for the period, but officials will not be able to adjust electronic signage or use the car detection software that is used to regulate the hard shoulder. A spokesperson for National Highways said: "As a result of essential technology maintenance, Smart Motorway stopped vehicle detection and/or the ability to reset electronic signs and signals will not be in operation along some sections of the above motorways for periods during these times. "There are no road closures planned for this work. "Where required, we have well-rehearsed plans and mitigations including extra Traffic Officer patrols, increased CCTV monitoring and reduced speed limits in locations that require these measures to be put in place."
