Liberty Poole became the latest star to be eliminated from Dancing on Ice - but many fans weren't happy with the result.The former Love Island star landed in the bottom two with BMX star Kye Whyte - which meant they had to go head-to-head in the skate-off at the end of the show.It came after the public vote was added to the judges' scores.Sunday's show (February 13) had already proved difficult for Liberty as she suffered a tumble on the ice rink during her initial routine, although she bravely recovered.Liberty ended up flat on her face after her pro skating partner Joe Johnson tried lifting her up in the air - and it went badly wrong.She still scored a respectable 28 points out of a possible 40 for her rollercoaster routine to Flo Rider's Right Round.Kye, who is partnered up pro skater Tippy Packard, bagged 28.5 points for his skate to Muse's Supermassive Black Hole.The majority of the panel - Christopher Dean, Jayne Torvill and Ashley Banjo - voted to save Liberty, but judge Oti Mabuse opted to keep Liberty in.Many fans at home fumed at Liberty getting the boot as they felt she was a better skater than her co-stars like Happy Mondays star Bez, who made it to the next round.Some viewers on Twitter even claimed they were going to give up on watching the show.One fan said: "LIBERTY WAS ROBBED PASS IT ON"A second commented: "What a joke why is liberty gone???!!!"A third said: "Not watching anymore, Bez falls and is awful every show and he stays and Liberty falls and she's out?"A fourth fumed: "This show has been my guilty pleasure for ages, but I won't be watching again until Bez has gone.

Peter Debruge Chief Film CriticBy far the most biting and ironic satire to premiere in Cannes competition this year — a divisive comedy whose cynicism was met with boos at the press screening — Bruno Dumont’s “France” doesn’t want to be liked. That’s more than can be said of its eponymous protagonist, France de Meurs (Léa Seydoux), the country’s top news anchor and a damning representation of the journalist-as-star phenomenon.

Bruno Dumont’s peculiar blend of the transcendental with a clumsy kind of realism was a natural fit to “Jeannette” and “Joan of Arc,” both films dealing with the same presumed miracle — an ordinary little girl claiming to be guided by Saints. That mix takes on a more ambiguous aura in “France,” which premiered in Competition at this year’s Festival de Cannes and centers on a news host going through a different but not entirely dissimilar sort of spiritual/existential crisis about what she does for a living and who she is.

Cannes Film Festival rolled out the red carpet for its tenth day with the premiere of Bruno Dumont's 'On a Half Clear Morning', a drama about a celebrity TV journalist whose life is overturned by a freak car accident.

 Kimberley attended the event to watch France, originally titled On A Half Clear Morning.The film is an internationally co-produced drama, written and directed by Bruno Dumont. The movie focuses on the story of Lea Seydoux, a celebrity journalist with a busy career and personal life.The protagonist’s life is then turned upside down by a freak car accident.The film co-stars Blanche Gardin, Benjamin Biolay, Emanuele Arioli, Juliane Köhler, Gaëtan Amiel, Jewad Zemmar and Marc Bettinelli. Elsewhere, Kimberley previously tuned heads when she arrived at the 2021 Wimbledon Tennis Championships in the rain last month. Her figure-hugging blue number clung to her curves in all the right places and showcased her slim physique.It featured a matching

Lea Seydoux won’t be in Cannes this year after testing positive for Covid-19 back on Saturday. The star is staying in Paris to serve her self-isolation and to do her “part to keep everyone safe and healthy”. She was asymptomatic following the initial diagnosis and tested negative the day after, on Sunday, but French rules mandate 10 days of self-isolation after a positive result.

As we’ve noted in the last two weeks of this ongoing Cannes Film Festival, Léa Seydoux is the belle of the ball, and she has four films playing at Cannes, three of them in competition. The French actress has a leading role in “The Story Of My Wife,” a smaller role in Wes Anderson‘s “The French Dispatch,” the lead part in Arnaud Desplechin’s steamy Philip Roth adaptation “Deception” (playing outside competition), and then lastly, the film you’re here for, Bruno Dumont’s “France.” The Cannes Film Fest website doesn’t have much to say about the film, “France is all at once the portrayal of an anchorwoman, of a country, and of the media,” is all it has for a logline, but there’s more from the past.
