"Is she happy seeing Daddy do these silly things?’ “Just knowing that she’s happy and proud of Dad, that was the biggest thing for me, for sure.” Mancunian Alan, who plays Corronation Street’s Tyrone Dobbs, became good pals with Coleen, 38, while in camp. In one moment in last Monday’s show, the pair bagged ten stars in a grim Bushtucker Trial — but fibbed to their campmates and told them they had won only two. They then kept up the charade all day, right up until they were about to get their food bag for their dinner. Prankster Alan came up with the idea and was then impressed by Coleen’s acting skills , saying: “I mentioned it to Coleen and I was a bit unsure if she would want to do that. "And she was like, let’s do it. “She walked in and she was like, ‘We only got two’. "And I was like, ‘Hey, I’m the actor here!’. I'm A Celebrity 2024 i'm A Celebrity is back for its 24th series, with a batch of famous faces living in the Aussie jungle. The Sun's Jake Penkethman takes a look at the stars on the show this year.. Coleen Rooney - Arguably the most famous name in the camp, the leading WAG, known for her marriage to Wayne Rooney , has made a grand return to TV as she looks to put the Wagatha Christie scandal behind her. The Sun revealed the mum-of-four had bagged an eye-watering deal worth over £1.5million to be on the show this year making her the highest-paid contestant ever. Tulisa - The popstar and former X Factor judge has made her triumphant TV comeback by signing up to this year's I'm A Celeb after shunning TV shows for many years. Known for being a member of the trio, N-Dubz, Tulisa became a household name back in 2011 when she signed on to replace Cheryl on ITV show The X Factor in a multi-million pound deal. Alan Halsall - The actor, known for playing the long-running role of Tyrone Dobbs on ITV soap opera Coronation Street, was originally signed up to head Down Under last year but an operation threw his scheduled appearance off-course. Now he has become the latest Corrie star to win over both the viewers and his fellow celebrities. Melvin Odoom - The Radio DJ has become a regular face on TV screens after rising to fame with presenting roles on Kiss FM, BBC Radio 1 and 4Music. Melvin has already been for a spin on the Strictly dancefloor and co-hosted The Xtra Factor with Rochelle Humes in 2015 but now he is facing up to his biggest challenge yet - the Aussie jungle . GK Barry - The UK's biggest social media personality, GK, whose real name is Grace Keeling, has transformed her TikTok stardom into a lucrative career. Aside from her popular social media channels, she hosts the weekly podcast, Saving Grace, and regularly appears on ITV talk show, Loose Women. She has even gone on to endorse popular brands such as PrettyLittleThing, KFC and Ann Summers. Dean McCullough - A rising star amongst this year's bunch of celebs , Dean first achieved notability through his radio appearances on Gaydio and BBC Radio 1. He was chosen to join the BBC station permanently in 2021 and has featured prominently ever since. He has enjoyed a crossover to ITV over the past year thanks to his guest slots on Big Brother spin-off show, Late & Live. Oti Mabuse - The pro dancer has signed up to her latest TV show after making her way through the biggest programmes on the box. She originally found fame on Strictly Come Dancing but has since branched out into the world of TV judging with appearances on former BBC show The Greatest Dancer as well as her current role on ITV's Dancing On Ice . Danny Jones - The McFly star was drafted into the programme last minute as a replacement for Tommy Fury. Danny is the second member of McFly to enter the jungle , after Dougie Poynter won the show in 2011. He is also considered a rising star on ITV as he's now one of the mentors on their Saturday night talent show, The Voice , along with bandmate Tom Fletcher. Jane Moore - The Loose Women star and The Sun columnist is braving the creepy crawlies this year. The star is ready for a new challenge - having recently split from her husband . It will be Jane's first foray into reality TV with the telly favourite having always said no to reality shows in the past.

She even guest hosted an episode of the spin-off, Love Island Games, in place of Maya Jama last year. Rev. Richard Coles - Former BBC radio host the Rev Richard Coles is a late arrival on I’m A Celebrity , and he's ready to spill the beans on his former employer. The former Communards and Strictly star , said the BBC did not know its a**e from its elbow last year. An insider said: "Rev Coles will have a variety of tales to tell from his wild days as a pop star in the Eighties, through to performing on Strictly and his later life as a man of the cloth." “We managed to drag it out. Coleen was fantastic, a proper leading actress. "I believed Coleen — and I was in on the joke. “She was absolutely fantastic as an actress. "I said, ‘I think she could be a barmaid of the Rovers Return’. "She was absolutely brilliant.” Alan said he would be staying in touch with all 11 of his new celeb pals, including Coleen, who revealed she and Wayne, 39, had “ a few bars ” at their £20million Cheshire mansion . Would he like to hit up one of their boozers with Coleen and her Red Devils hero hubby? She said that she’s missed me, she loves me, she’s proud of me “Listen, if Wayne fancies a beer, I’ll go and have a beer, no problem,” Alan said. “Wherever we’re going to meet up, we’re going to have fun and we’ll reminisce about an experience that we’ve all shared together. 'HANDYMAN SKILLS' "I’ll look forward to that from now on.” Despite his love for Wazza, Alan said he never once asked Coleen about him — instead chatting away over parenthood and their children . Alan, the joker of the jungle, was in good form when we met him yesterday in Surfers Paradise, Australia. He was chirpy as he reeled off stories from his time Down Under — including how he saved the camp from flooding by using his handyman skills which his campmates loved him for. The camp has been battered by relentless storms in what has been the wettest I’m a Celeb in the ITV1 show’s 22-year history. Last weekend, the weather got so bad that bosses drew up emergency plans to evacuate the camp if the weather worsened. But Alan said: “So I just kind of dug out a trench to re-divert the water so it didn’t put out the fire.” Sun columnist Jane Moore, 62, and former world champion boxer Barry McGuigan, 63 , both praised Alan for his handyman skills after they were evicted. When he leaves behind the 30C Australian sunshine for the colder climes of Manchester, Alan will be putting on his Christmas PJs and putting up a tree with Sienna.

He said: “I’ll maybe have a couple of pints of Guinness to toast it.” NEW DEAL ON CORRIE ALAN Halsall has spoken of his new Coronation Street contract — after bosses offered him the deal before he went into the I’m A Celebrity jungle. The star, who plays Tyrone Dobbs on the ITV soap, said: “I’ve spoken a lot in camp of how humbling it is to be a very small part of Coronation Street. “I’m thrilled. That’s the job I love, so long may it continue. "I’ll maybe have a couple of pints of Guinness to toast it.”
Cam Robinson of Elite Prospects isn’t necessarily known as a news breaker or insider among NHL circles, but he is a fairly trusted source for hockey and prospect news. Following news that Tyler Seguin will be on the shelf for up to six months, Robinson has ignited speculation with a trade rumor suggesting Pittsburgh Penguins star Evgeni Malkin could be headed to the Dallas Stars. Robinson shared the buzz on social media, noting, “It feels like the right time to slip it out there.” Evgeni Malkin to the Dallas Stars? I've been sitting on this rumour for awhile, but it feels like the right time to slip it out there pic.twitter.com/rV9XDp1yAs The timing of this rumor is noteworthy, as the Stars recently placed Seguin on long-term injured reserve (LTIR) following hip surgery. Robison suggested that the Stars were always aware this was likely to happen and have already dug into the idea of Malkin being added to the roster with Seguin’s $9.85 million cap hit temporarily off the books. Dallas has an estimated $6.5 million in cap space, potentially setting the stage for a blockbuster move. He notes: A couple weeks back, I had a little birdie whisper in my ear, watch out for Dallas and Evgeni Malkin. .. They were considering shutting him [Seguin] down before the December 10th deadline, putting him on LTIR unit the regular season ended, then he’d be ready to go for the playoffs. They would save all that cap space and with that cap space, they would then go out and trade for Evgeni Malkin.” A Few Hurdles the Stars Would Have To Dump To Make Malkin a Reality Robinson admitted there are a lot of moving parts here. First, the numbers have to work, but he believes they already jive. Second, Jim Nill and Kyle Dubas would need to come to an agreement on a trade package. What would it take from Dallas to get Malkin? Robinson threw out a few names, but in a follow-up post, he wrote, “For clarity, I didn’t say Dallas would move [Logan] Stankoven, [Wyatt] Johnston or [Thomas] Harley. I’m saying for Pittsburgh to agree and take it to Malkin, the ask would have to be high.” Finally, Malkin would have to agree to the trade. He’s got a no-move clause, and he’s been fairly consistent in his messaging that he doesn’t want to leave long-time teammates Sidney Crosby or Kris Letang. Would Malkin Even Help the Stars? Malkin, 38, remains a productive force with 24 points (six goals, 18 assists) in 27 games this season. He is signed through 2025-26 with a $6.1 million AAV. However, the pieces Robinson mentions in trade going back are not easy pieces for Dallas to part with. It’s fair to argue it’s not worth doing. Obviously, President Kyle Dubas would be open to the move, allowing the Penguins to get younger and build for the future. Malkin is an icon in Pittsburgh, but the team — despite four wins in a row — is not likely a Cup contender. Dubas wants to make the roster younger. Malkin’s addition would bolster Dallas’ playoff aspirations, filling the offensive void left by Seguin. Fans will be watching closely to see if this rumor gains traction or if this is just someone spitballing, and there’s really not much to do about it. **Author’s Note: On paper, there are some real flaws in this theory, not the least of which is the Stars potentially giving up a huge package to land an aging Malkin. However, the idea that Dallas might be looking at an impact player and intend to use the LTIR money saved by Seguin’s injury is not far-fetched.

Trump returns to world stage in Paris with Ukraine war on agendaThe court's shock ruling, coming just before the presidential run-off which had been due Sunday, opens the way for a new electoral process starting from scratch in the EU and NATO member state bordering war-torn Ukraine. The annulment follows a spate of intelligence documents declassified by the presidency this week detailing allegations against Georgescu and Russia, including claims of "massive" social media promotion and cyberattacks. Georgescu -- who unexpectedly topped last month's first round of voting -- called for voters on Sunday "to wait to be welcomed, to wait for democracy to win through their power", said a statement from his team. "Mr. Calin Georgescu believes that voting is an earned right," said the statement. "That is why he believes that Romanians have the right to be in front of the polling stations tomorrow." Georgescu himself would go to a polling station near Bucharest at 0600 GMT, said his team. Earlier Saturday, police raided three houses in Brasov city in central Romania as part of the investigation "in connection with crimes of voter corruption, money laundering, computer forgery". Among the houses searched was that of businessman Bogdan Peschir, a TikTok user who according to the declassified documents allegedly paid $381,000 to those involved in the promotion of Georgescu, Romanian media reported. Peschir has compared his support for Georgescu to the world's richest man Elon Musk's backing of US president-elect Donald Trump. Little-known outsider Georgescu, a 62-year-old former senior civil servant, was favourite to win the second round on Sunday against centrist pro-EU mayor Elena Lasconi, 52, according to several polls. But the constitutional court on Friday unanimously decided to annul the entire electoral process as it was "marred... by multiple irregularities and violations of electoral legislation". President Klaus Iohannis said on Saturday that he had discussed with European Commission chief Ursula von der Leyen, and they agreed on the "need to strengthen the security of social media". The European Commission announced earlier this week that it had stepped up monitoring TikTok after Romania's authorities alleged "preferential treatment" of Georgescu on the platform -- a claim the company has denied. Following the court's decision, the United States said it had faith in Romania's institutions and called for a "peaceful democratic process". Trump's eldest son, Donald Trump Jr., on X branded the vote's cancellation an "attempt at rigging the outcome" and "denying the will of the people". Georgescu called it "a formalised coup d'etat" and said democracy was "under attack". His team on Saturday declined to comment on the raids, saying they "will not comment or provide answers until we have exact data". Georgescu and another far-right party, the AUR, have said they plan to appeal the decision to stop the voting to the High Court of Cassation and Justice. A past admirer of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Georgescu, an EU and NATO sceptic, in recent days had reframed himself as "ultra pro-Trump," vowing to put Romania "on the world map" and cut aid for neighbouring Ukraine. In an interview with US broadcaster Sky News on Saturday, Georgescu said there were no links between him and Russia. Political scientist Costin Ciobanu told AFP that the annulment has "further polarised Romanian society". With trust in institutions and the ruling class already low, the vote's cancellation poses a "major danger that Romanians will think that it doesn't matter how they vote", Ciobanu added. Elsewhere in the EU, Austria annulled presidential elections in 2016 because of procedural irregularities. In Romania, a new government is expected to set another date for the presidential vote. In last weekend's legislative elections, the ruling Social Democrats came top. But far-right parties made big gains, securing an unprecedented third of the ballots on mounting anger over soaring inflation and fears over Russia's war in Ukraine. In a joint appeal on Wednesday, the Social Democrats and three other pro-EU parties -- together making up an absolute majority in parliament -- signed an agreement to form a coalition, promising "stability". bur-jza/jjAfter Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers

NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks climbed after market superstar Nvidia and another round of companies said they’re making even fatter profits than expected. The S&P 500 pulled 0.5% higher Thursday after flipping between modest gains and losses several times in the morning. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 1.1%, and the Nasdaq composite edged up less than 0.1%. Banks, smaller companies and other areas of the stock market that tend to do best when the economy is strong helped lead the way, while bitcoin briefly broke above $99,000. Crude oil, meanwhile, continued to rise. Treasury yields edged higher in the bond market. THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. AP’s earlier story follows below. NEW YORK (AP) — U.S. stocks are climbing Thursday after market superstar Nvidia and another round of companies said they’re making even fatter profits than expected. The S&P 500 was pulling 0.7% higher, as of 2:45 p.m. Eastern time, after flipping between modest gains and losses several times in the morning. Banks, smaller companies and other areas of the stock market that tend do best when the economy is strong helped lead the way, while bitcoin briefly broke above $99,000. Crude oil, meanwhile, continued to rise. The Dow Jones Industrial Average jumped 532 points, or 1.2%, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.2%. Nvidia's rise of 1.4% was the strongest force pushing the S&P 500 upward after yet again beating analysts’ estimates for profit and revenue. It also gave a forecast for revenue in the current quarter that topped most analysts’ expectations thanks to voracious demand for its chips used in artificial-intelligence technology. Its stock initially sank in afterhours trading Wednesday following the release of the results. Some investors said the market might have been looking for Nvidia's revenue forecast to surpass expectations by even more. But its stock recovered in premarket trading Thursday, and Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said it was another “flawless” profit report provided by Nvidia and CEO Jensen Huang, whom Ives calls “the Godfather of AI.” How Nvidia’s stock performs has tremendous impact because it’s quickly grown into Wall Street’s most valuable company at roughly $3.6 trillion. Its meandering up and down through the day dragged the S&P 500 and other indexes back and forth. The frenzy around AI is sweeping up other stocks, and Snowflake jumped 32.3% after reporting stronger results for the latest quarter than analysts expected. The company, whose platform helps customers get a better view of all their silos of data and use AI, also reported stronger revenue growth than expected. BJ’S Wholesale Club rose 9.1% after likewise delivering a bigger profit than expected. That may help calm worries about how resilient U.S. shoppers can remain, given high prices across the economy and still-high interest rates. A day earlier, Target tumbled after reporting sluggish sales in the latest quarter and giving a dour forecast for the holiday shopping season. It followed Walmart , which gave a much more encouraging outlook. Nearly 90% of the stocks in the S&P 500 were also rising, and the gains were even bigger among smaller companies. The Russell 2000 index of smaller stocks jumped a market-leading 1.9%. Google’s parent company, Alphabet, helped keep indexes in check. It fell 5.5% after U.S. regulators asked a judge to break up the tech giant by forcing it to sell its industry-leading Chrome web browser. In a 23-page document filed late Wednesday, the U.S. Department of Justice called for sweeping punishments that would include restrictions preventing Android from favoring its own search engine. Regulators stopped short of demanding Google sell Android but left the door open to it if the company’s oversight committee continues to see evidence of misconduct. Drops for other Big Tech stocks also weighed on the market, including a 2.4% slide for Amazon. In stock markets abroad, shares of India’s Adani Enterprises plunged 22.6% Thursday after the U.S. charged founder Gautam Adani, 62, in a federal indictment with securities fraud and conspiracy to commit securities and wire fraud. The businessman and one of the world’s richest people is accused of duping investors by concealing that his company’s huge solar energy project on the subcontinent was being facilitated by an alleged bribery scheme. Indexes elsewhere in Asia and Europe were mixed. In the crypto market, bitcoin eclipsed $99,000 for the first time before easing back to roughly $98,250, according to CoinDesk. It’s more than doubled so far this year, and its climb has accelerated since Election Day. President-elect Donald Trump has pledged to make the country “the crypto capital of the planet” and create a “strategic reserve” of bitcoin. Bitcoin also got a boost after Gary Gensler, the chair of the Securities and Exchange Commission who has pushed for more protection for crypto investors, said he would step down in January . Bitcoin and related investments, of course, have a notorious history of big price swings in both directions. MicroStrategy, a company that's been raising cash expressly to buy bitcoin, saw an early gain of 14.6% for its stock on Thursday quickly disappear. It was most recently down 10.7%.
