N-Dubz star Tulisa and writer and the Reverend Richard Cole nominated themselves to take part in a Bushtucker trial to earn food for their campmates. Tulisa said: "I wanted a chance to redeem myself after the five star situation and this was it." Taking to social media, some fans said it was the "worst trial ever". Poor Tulisa had to eat a two whole huntsman spiders and fermented egg, while Rev Richard dined on cow's tongue and mice tails. Rev Richard described one dish as "death and then a volcano of death in your mouth". On X, a number of viewers were grossed out by tonight's trial. @DrCat1981 said: "Fair dos to Richard and Tulisa, that is one of the worst eating trials I’ve seen. The spiders, mice feet and tails, eugh I was heaving watching." @kevwgs agreed: "The size of the portions on the eating trials is ridiculous. Well done to Richard and Tulisa, that was the worst one I've ever watched. #ImACeleb." @donnygam3r said: "Them spiders looked awful, well done." @joannew0112 added: "That eating trial is horrific, hats of to both I would still be being sick now." Despite being given one of the "worst trials ever", Richard and Tulisa did a great job, taking home 11 out of 11 stars for camp. This meant everyone could have a decent dinner that evening. Since Thursday, viewers are no longer voting for which celebs they want to see take part in the Bushtucker trials but instead are now voting for their favourite campmates. Celebs who receive the fewest votes will face eliminations. In Friday night's episode of I'm A Celeb, Loose Women star Jane Moore was the first campmate to exit the competition. Now only 11 celebs remain to compete for the ultimate title of Queen or King of the Jungle. Hosts Ant and Dec said there will be no elimination on Saturday night's episode of I'm A Celeb.

Premier League: Saka Shines As Arsenal Thrash West Ham In 7-Goal ThrillerFormer U.S. President Jimmy Carter has died. He was 100 years old and had spent more than a year in hospice care. The Georgia peanut farmer served one turbulent term in the White House before building a reputation as a global humanitarian and champion of democracy. He defeated President Gerald Ford in 1976 promising to restore trust in government but lost to Ronald Reagan four years later amid soaring inflation, gas station lines and the Iran hostage crisis. He and his wife, Rosalynn Carter, then formed The Carter Center, and he earned a Nobel Peace Prize while making himself the most active and internationally engaged of former presidents. The Carter Center said the former president died Sunday afternoon in Plains, Georgia.
Alex Ovechkin will miss the next 4-6 weeks with a fractured left fibula, the Washington Capitals . The Capitals captain and current NHL leading goal scorer suffered the injury during Monday night's win over the Utah Hockey Club. Ovechkin had a leg-to-leg collision with Utah forward Jack McBain and fell to the ice immediately. He tested the leg out with a brief skate minutes later, but later exited the game and did not return. Alex Ovechkin to the dressing room after this sequence 😩 — Brady Trettenero (@BradyTrett) The Capitals, who are second in the Eastern Conference with 28 points, will be without Ovechkin for the longest period of his career since he entered the NHL in 2005-06. The 39-year-old has only missed 35 games due to injury and other absences were due to suspensions and being in Covid protocol. Ovechkin's previous longest stretch of missed games was six due to an upper-body injury in November 2009. “Everyone’s bummed out,” said Capitals forward Tom Wilson, a teammate of Ovechkin's since 2013. “We were sitting there saying: ‘This is weird. Like, it’s unbelievable that he’s actually hurt.’ It’s one of those things where like, he’s going to miss games? I’ve been around a long time, and it’s new to me.” Ovechkin has had a red-hot start to the season and had scored five goals in his previous two games before the injury. His 15 goals this season puts him at 868 for his career, 26 behind the NHL record of 894 held by Wayne Gretzky. Many had believed Ovechkin could catch The Great One sometime during the 2025-26 season, but his play early on was changing minds to believe the record could be broken season. Now Ovechkin's pursuit for history will have to wait.Confederation Line trains held on Sunday afternoon
DURHAM, N.C. (AP) — Duke coach Manny Diaz says quarterback Maalik Murphy will face discipline “internally” after extending both of his middle fingers skyward in celebration after throwing a long touchdown pass early in the weekend win against Virginia Tech . Diaz said Monday that Murphy's exuberant gesture, caught on the ACC Network national broadcast, was directed at offensive coordinator Jonathan Brewer in the booth after a bit of practice “banter” from a few days earlier. Diaz said the Texas transfer just let his excitement get away from him but still called it “unacceptable in our program." “There was a practice in the middle of last week when we throwing post after post after post, and we weren't completing them,” Diaz said. “And it was again and again and again and again. And at the end of that, there was a remark made in jest that, ‘If you throw a post for a touchdown in the game, then you can flick me off,’ from Coach Brewer.” Murphy's gesture came after he uncorked a deep ball from deep in Duke's own end and caught Eli Pancol perfectly in stride across midfield, with Pancol racing untouched for an 86-yard score barely 2 minutes into the game. As he began skipping downfield to celebrate, Murphy chest-bumped teammate Star Thomas and then extended both arms in the air with his middle fingers raised. Brewer said Monday he missed the gesture in real time, but then saw it on a replay moments later. “Some things you say on the field when you're coaching obviously isn't meant to be taken literally when you're trying to get after somebody in that world,” Brewer said. Murphy threw for 332 yards and three touchdowns with three interceptions in the 31-28 win for the Blue Devils (8-3, 4-3 Atlantic Coast Conference), who close the regular season at Wake Forest.

Kaylene Smikle scored 16 points and made a couple key baskets down the stretch to help No. 10 Maryland women’s basketball hold off George Mason, 66-56, in a matchup of unbeatens Saturday at the Navy Classic in Annapolis. The Terps (7-0) led by just two when Smikle stole the ball and made a layup while being fouled. The free throw pushed the lead to 58-53. Then a putback by Smikle put Maryland up by seven. The Terps won despite shooting 13 of 26 on free throws. George Mason (6-1) trailed by 10 at halftime before outscoring Maryland 18-7 in the third quarter. The Patriots’ final lead was 49-48 in the fourth after a jumper by Kennedy Harris. Harris led George Mason with 26 points. Maryland is off to its best start since winning its first 12 games in 2018-19. The Patriots have lost all nine meetings with Maryland, but it’s been more competitive of late. The Terps won 86-77 last year, and this game was more competitive than the final score suggested. After a down season by their standards, the Terps are off to a nice start, but the free throw problems in this game nearly cost them. Related Articles With the score 55-53, George Mason had a chance to tie, but the Patriots never really recovered after Smikle swiped the ball from Harris and went the other way for a three-point play with 3:08 remaining. Although Maryland was awful at the line, at least the Terps got there. George Mason was only 3 of 8 from the stripe, and the Terps held the Patriots to 32% shooting from the field. Alumni Hall, Annapolis Sunday, 3:30 p.m. ESPN+BlackBerry shares climb after court dismisses former executive's claimsA total of 290 days on from his devastating Achilles injury suffered in bizarre circumstances in Super Bowl 58, Dre Greenlaw will make his long-awaited return to the practice field for the San Francisco 49ers. The absence of Greenlaw's physicality, sideline-to-sideline speed and ability in pass coverage has had a huge impact on the 49er defense this season as De'Vondre Campbell has struggled to fill the void. But Kyle Shanahan confirmed on Wednesday that Greenlaw would practice for the Niners on Wednesday, having spent the entire year to this point on the PUP list. That does not mean Greenlaw is in line to make his return to game action against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. Greenlaw will likely need a longer runway before being ready to play in a game, but his presence back on the practice field can still have a huge impact for the 49ers. The former fifth-round pick is one of the emotional leaders for the team, and his presence can offer San Francisco some much-needed energy at a point in the season where the 49ers have looked worryingly lifeless. Now 5-6 after getting blown out by the Green Bay Packers in Week 12, the 49ers should not need motivation to get up for their final six games with their slim playoff hopes hanging by a thread. However, the prospect of Greenlaw getting back on the field for a portion of the stretch run gives them additional reason to try to stay in touch in the playoff race and ensure he is returning for meaningful football, rather than a team playing out the string. It's unclear how effective Greenlaw will be coming off his prolonged lay-off, or even how much practice time he will need to feel ready to play in a game. What cannot be denied, though, is that the 49ers need to stop the rot after successive defeats for Greenlaw to have a shot at having a tangible impact on their fortunes this season.
