Dan Walker quit Football Focus last April after 12 years as its lead presenter.The star went on to compete in Strictly Come Dancing later that year, whilst also juggling his presenting role at BBC Breakfast and hosting The NFL Show alongside fellow former Strictly contestant, Jason Bell. Former professional American Football player Jason Bell, 43, joined Zoe Ball on her BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show today to discuss the upcoming Super Bowl 56, which will take place this Sunday. The Super Bowl is the USA’s biggest sporting event of the year, featuring a playoff championship game of the National Football League (NFL). Jason was a cornerback in the NFL for the Dallas Cowboys, Houston Texans, and New York Giants. However, in recent years, the sports star has strapped on his dancing shoes to compete in BBC fan-favourite show Strictly. Jason competed in the series in 2020 alongside professional dance partner Luba Mushtuk, but was unfortunately second out of the competition after former Labour Party politician Jacqui Smith.Nonetheless, when quizzed by Zoe about Strictly, he gushed about his time on the show, admitting that he still likes to dance and that his young daughter is “infatuated” with it. Zoe then asked Jason if his pal Dan Walker, 44, had asked him for advice before entering the latest series of the show back in September, as the pair have both been presenting on the NFL Show together since November 2020. “He did ask me and I said, ‘Dan, you’ll be great on it,’ because I know Dan’s personality,” Jason confirmed.  “Dan is one of the best people I’ve ever met, he is just a nice human being.So I said, ‘This will be perfect for you.’“Dan steps up to challenges and that’s what you need to do when you get on Strictly.”The BBC

Billie Eilish has denied she threw shade at Travis Scott after the Astroworld tragedy while stopping a show to help a fan that was having an asthma attack. The singer, 20, had been filmed pausing one of her shows to check on a fan and make sure they got an asthma inhaler before telling the audience: ‘I wait for people to be okay until I keep going.’While she did not name Travis, 30, some took the comment to be referencing his Astroworld concert from November, during which he was accused of ignoring fans in difficulty to keep performing, something he denied, claiming he was unaware of what was happening. Ten people died and hundreds were injured after crowds surged towards the stage in Houston, Texas, leaving some fans crushed and trampled by the weight of the crowd. After Billie’s clip went viral, Kanye, 44, took to Instagram to demand she apologises to Travis before he would perform at Coachella with the rapper. He wrote alongside a screenshot of a news story: ‘Come on Billie we love you please apologise to Trav and to the families of the people who lost their lives no one intended this to happen.‘Trav didn’t have any idea what was happening when he was on stage and was very hurt by what happened.’Kanye added: ‘And yes Trav will be with me at Coachella but now I need Billie to apologise before I perform.’My 600lb Life's first transgender star Destinee Lashaee dies aged 30Nelly sorry after sex tape leaked on Instagram: ‘This was an old video’Funk legend Betty Davis dies of natural causes aged 77Billie denied that her comments were aimed at Travis, writing in response: ‘Literally never said a thing about Travis.

Adele has been spotted having the time of her life in the crowd at G-A-Y, proving she’s definitely the star everyone would most like to have a night out with. The Easy On Me singer, 33, made an appearance at G-A-Y’s Porn Idol event at Heaven nightclub in London on Thursday night, where she pretty much stole the show. Adele was filmed with a group of friends in an area of the club as It’s Raining Men played while she enthusiastically sang along, waving her arms in the air. She was also seen looking shocked as she observed the Porn Idol competition – where contestants can strip off on stage to compete for a cash prize – before giggling with her pals. However, just raving in the crowd was not enough as Adele soon hopped onto the stage with RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star Cheryl Hole to give the audience a show. While they weren’t treated to Adele’s inimitable singing voice, they arguably got to witness something so much better as she ran up to the stripper pole on the stage and cocked her leg up to spin round it. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 videoItâs raining men, hallelujah!ð pic.twitter.com/SFWiS2o4eKAn onlooker told the Daily Star: ‘Adele was absolutely loving the event.

Ten years ago today, the music world lost one of its brightest stars in Whitney Houston. The beloved superstar died on February 11, 2012 at the age of 48 just hours before the 54th Grammy Awards were due to get underway in California. Whitney was herself due to appear and was staying at the Beverly Hilton hotel, where she was tragically found dead after accidentally drowning in a bathtub. Over the past 10 years, all the salacious details about her death and addiction struggles have been rinsed to high heavens but ultimately, the true sadness is the loss of a remarkable talent that is frankly yet to be matched. Widely referred to as ‘the voice’ and ‘vocal bible’, Whitney’s influence on the big vocalists we enjoy today is clear to see whether it’s Ariana Grande, Adele, Kelly Clarkson or even Mariah Carey, the latter of who some might argue is in a league of her own. Whitney’s vibrato, cadence and versatility is why she embodied exactly what it means to be a true pop star; able to belt out a vintage power ballad but equally master a contemporary R&B bop seamlessly. It still stands that Whitney has sold more physical singles than any other female solo artist in history, while her streaming figures on Spotify alone are enough to make your eyes water.
