We have no idea, we don't know at the moment what happened."Jo's decision to refuse to discuss Taylor's past went down well with fans of the late musician who instantly took to social media to praise the radio presenter, with some fans saying how much they will miss the musician.One person tweeted: "@well done @jowhiley! #BBCBreakfast."While a second added: "Love it when people like Jo Whiley put an interviewer in their place on digging s**t #BBCBreakfast.""Gotta shout out to @jowhiley on #BBCBreakfast today being asked a question about Taylor's death and the accusations of substances.

Instagram star and lingerie model Demi Rose had rather humble beginnings before she shot to fame in 2016 after dating a chart topping artist.American rapper Tyga famously dated Demi after his relationship with make-up mogul Kylie Jenner was called off due to cheating allegations against him.Demi and Tyga were first snapped together as they left their hotel in Cannes, France to party at a nightclub before his performance with Chris Brown.FHM have previously branded her as “Britain’s answer to Selena Gomez” and Daily Star uncovered some snaps of the star before her immense social media fame.Demi has previously said that she has dreamed of modelling ever since she was a kid, but lacked confidence and said she “never believed she could make it”, but that doesn't seem to be the case today.During college, Demi trained to become a beauty therapist, but always “knew there was something more exciting in store for her” before she pursued her true calling.In the unearthed throwback snaps, Demi posed for the camera and posted the selfies to her MySpace page back in the late 2000s.In one picture, the star held the camera from a high angle and smiled, wearing a leopard print vest top, fake eyelashes and a classic noughties side fringe.Another showed her in a bathroom, taking a quick pic as she posed with her arm behind her head, a silly expression and of course, the ever-present side fringe.A picture of the model at the beach saw her kneeling in the sand as she posed with her hands on her knees, wearing a black string bikini and flashing a smile as the tide rolled in behind her.Demi holds a diploma in beauty and a qualification in Spanish, but her real passion turned out to be in social media and online.She spoke to Daily Mail in

Ant and Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway was halted live on air last night (March 26) after the popular ITV show was plagued by technical blunders.The first major mishap occurred during the game show segment Read My Lips, where members of the public read out words on a particular subject, via video link to a celebrity in the studio.Line of Duty star Anna Maxwell Martin was the celebrity trying to guess the words correctly, but not all went according to plan.While Anna correctly guessed words from the first two contestants, including TV programme Motherland, the third contestant's appearance had to be halted midway.The third contestant began reading out words unrelated to the topic, instead shouting out foods such as Biriyani.The technical blunder left host Ant McPartlin confused, saying "what?", but Anna Maxwell Martin still managed to get two of the answers right - despite the mishap.Eventually, Ant and Dec called for the clock to be stopped early, and allowed the third contestant to have another go due to the technical blunder - but on her second try, Anna didn't manage to guess any answers correctly.However, in an act of kindness, the Saturday Night Takeaway hosts agreed that the contestant should still win £500 as Anna managed to guess two of her answers right during the first attempt.That wasn't the only technical mishap on the night either, as, during the Happiest Minute of The Week segment, the cameras showed the wrong household in an embarrassing mix-up.Declan Donnelly told viewers that the cameras were going to Lancashire, but instead, a family in a different household could be seen instead - and failed to react after their names were not called out.However, the camera quickly changed to a couple celebrating in the
