Charli XCX and Emma Corrin left shaken after haunted set halts 100 Nights of Hero filming
CHARLI XCX and Emma Corrin will have their very own Halloween ghost story to tell today after getting the willies at a stately home.
The pair were on set for their new film, 100 Nights Of Hero.
Charli XCX was freaked out by some spooky happenings at a stately home in Hertfordshire[/caption] Both Charli and actress Emma Corrin were spooked out while filming movie 100 Nights Of Hero[/caption]They and the production team were totally freaked out by some spooky happenings in the Grade II-listed Knebworth House in Hertfordshire.
A film insider told me: “Charli and Emma were both a bit jumpy during filming for 100 Nights Of Hero because it felt like they were alone.
“But as the cameras began rolling, all sorts of weird things started to happen.
“Sound recording equipment mysteriously malfunctioned and started cutting out and picking up distorted noises when no one was speaking.
“The cameras were also affected and started flickering on and off without warning.
“When they looked back, some of the footage came out blurred, despite the conditions being perfect.
“It felt as though something — or someone — was toying with the equipment because the glitches defied any logical explanation.
“It was creepy as hell.”
According to historians, two ghosts are regularly seen at Knebworth, which is famed for its massive outdoor concerts, with acts including Oasis and Robbie Williams.
One spirit is a woman called “Spinning Jenny”, who got a bit handsy with a toff who lived in the house and was locked away in a room to keep her from him.
The second is supposedly a “radiant boy” who was seen in a room by a 19th-century guest, Lord Castlereagh.
The peer took his own life a few years after encountering the ghostly figure.
People who say they have seen the boy claim he appears in front of you before drawing his fingers across his throat.
Hopefully for Charli and Emma, this isn’t foretelling the fate of their new film at the box office.
Pulling a blank
A ONE-hit wonder was once pretty rude to the Bizarre team at a Halloween party while riding high in the charts.
Blank Blank clearly thought their fame would last, but that wasn’t the case.
This week we see they are now giving away tickets on a seat-filling website for their show in London because nobody wants to go.
Remember to be nice to people on your way up – as you’ll meet them on your way down.
Moss is boss
LOTTIE MOSS sang her heart out at the VIP relaunch of Karaoke Box’s flagship venue in East London.
The model’s tights may have seen better days, but she was on song while partying at the event with her friends.

So if OnlyFans fizzles out, there could be a new career beckoning.
Sophie U-Turner
SOPHIE TURNER has more than got her mojo back.
The Game Of Thrones actress is locked in a bitter split from boyband star Joe Jonas.
Actress Sophie Turner posed in a shoot with Harper’s Bazaar[/caption] Sophie will be handed the Performance award at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards on Tuesday[/caption]But her smile has returned thanks to a slew of huge new acting projects and a very handsome boyfriend, Peregrine Pearson.
“We’re very happy,” Sophie told Harper’s Bazaar as she posed for the cover of its November issue, on sale next Wednesday.
“It came around very quickly. I just needed to go on a date to know how to do it again. That was the first date and the last date, and it’s been great.
“He’s lovely. He’s funny and he brings out the cheeky side of me, the fun side. He lights me back up.”
Sophie will be handed the Performance award at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year Awards on Tuesday.
As well as promoting her new ITV drama series Joan, Sophie talked about working on new psychological thriller Trust, in which she takes on the role of an actress caught up in an internet scandal.
Touching on her split from Joe, Sophie added: “That one really mirrored my life from this past year, and it was a very cathartic experience for me.
“It was a chance to let out some serious anger, which was fun.”
If I was Joe, I would take cover now.

Saoirse: Reaction ‘wild’
SAOIRSE RONAN went viral over the weekend after she shut down Paul Mescal on The Graham Norton Show.
The actress stunned Paul and fellow guests Eddie Redmayne and Denzel Washington into silence with her comment about gender-based violence against women.
Saoirse Ronan went viral over the weekend after she shut down Paul Mescal on The Graham Norton Show[/caption]Responding to a joke made by Paul, Saoirse said that women had to think about how they can stay safe from attack “all the time”.
On Ryan Tubridy’s Virgin Radio show yesterday, Saoirse said she didn’t think her words would have so much impact.
“The reaction has been wild,” she said.
“I didn’t necessarily set out to sort of make a splash. But I do think there’s something really telling about the society we’re in right now, and about how open women want to be with the men in their lives.
“With Paul being one of my very dear friends, I have had conversations like that with him before and he completely gets that and completely understands that. The fact there was a moment like that on a show like Graham Norton, it’s something people tune into.
“It seems to have had an accessibility which seems to have really gained traction, which I think is amazing.
“It’s opening a conversation and again, hopefully it’s allowing more and more women to actually be like, ‘Let’s talk about our experience’.”
Fab year for The Beatles
THE BEATLES’ Apple Corps company turned over almost £1million a week last year.
The earnings were boosted by the success of single Now And Then, which went straight to No1 after it was released in November.

I revealed last month the group, above, had a new Disney+ documentary coming out and last week they confirmed my tale – announcing Beatles ’64 is out on November 29.
Director Sam Mendes is also working on four biopics about the group, with Stranger Things’ Joseph Quinn taking on the role of George.
It’s going to be a bumper 2025 for The Beatles.
Pets at Pop Pioneers
PET SHOP BOYS will perform with the Manchester Camerata orchestra at the MTV EMAs, as they receive the inaugural Pop Pioneers Award.
The duo have been added to the line-up for the ceremony at Manchester’s Co-op Live on November 10 alongside acts including Tyla, K-pop group Le Sserafim and the Mexican singer Peso Pluma.
Zoe love on blink
JUST eight weeks ago, Channing Tatum told Zoe Kravitz: “I got you for ever.”
But that sweet sentiment has aged like milk, as the pair ended their engagement and called it quits after three years.

The pair were last spotted together at the start of the month when they watched a play, Picture Day, in New York.
People magazine in the US reported the split yesterday and given their great track record on celebrity splits, I’m inclined to believe it’s true.
Channing and Zoe have just signed on to star in new film Alpha Gang, which starts filming next year.
That green-room small talk is going to be awkward.
Who is Iqbal Mohammed from The Real Fatal Attraction? Barrister whose reputation was threatened by ex-lover Anisah Ahmed
IQBAL Mohammed is a barrister whose career was nearly brought to an end by a scheme hatched by an ex-lover.
An ITV drama named The Real Fatal Attraction examines the terrifying plot that Anisah Ahmed devised, which saw him arrested in his own chambers.
Superstar barrister
Iqbal earned his bachelor’s degree in law from the University of Warwick in 2005, before going on to pass the Bar Vocational Course at BPP Law School in 2007.
He specializes in commercial law, which he studied in 2017 at the University of Warwick.
The barrister is one of the most respected in his field and has been nominated for Commercial Lawyer of the Year by the Society of Asian Lawyers in 2017, alongside a nomination for Barrister of the year by Birmingham Law Society in 2019.
Life seemed perfect for the high-flying barrister, who married his wife in 2013, but everything changed when he received a “connect” request on LinkedIn.
Meeting Anisah Ahmed
Ahmed followed up her “connect” request with an email sent straight to Iqbal’s inbox which was filled with probing questions about the lawyer’s career.
Put off by the “haughty” tone of her questioning, Iqbal decided to ignore her messages.
She tried again three years later, using a new profile picture and simply said “hi” in her request.
Iqbal decided to respond, beginning a flirty conversation which eventually led to a full-blown nine-month-long affair.
Ahmed said that she was unaware that the barrister was married and Iqbal said she was furious when the truth came out.
She contacted Iqbal’s wife and told her about the affair, before launching an elaborate revenge plot that nearly ruined Iqbal’s life.
Iqbal is arrested
Ahmed forged emails from Iqbal’s work account and claimed that the barrister was threatening to post intimate pictures of her online.
When her actions prompted an investigation by the police into her harassment of Iqbal, she decided to take things one step further.
Iqbal was arrested in his chambers in June 2015, in front of his colleagues, and questioned by the police for hours for a crime he did not commit.
Unbeknownst to him, Ahmed had falsely accused him of rape and his wife’s home was being searched for evidence.
Ahmed then faked a kidnapping to make it appear as if Iqbal had hired a hitman to kill her.
In actual fact, she had hired an ex-boyfriend to make the fake kidnapping look more believable but even he was unable to go through with the most sinister part of her plan.
Ahmed wanted him to stab her, to make her allegations even more believable, but she decided to take matters into her own hands when he refused.
She stabbed herself in the leg, narrowly avoiding an essential artery, and called the police who rushed to the scene.
On the way to the hospital, she made sure to mention Iqbal’s name so he would be incriminated.
Eventually, Ahmed’s scheme was unraveled and she was handed a life sentence for her crimes.
The charges against Iqbal were dropped and he was able to reconcile with his wife, after a period of separation.
The Real Fatal Attraction
The shocking crime has been likened to the plot of the 1987 film Fatal Attraction, which saw Glenn Close’s character Alex Forrest stalk Michael Douglas’ Dan Gallagher.
Fatal Attraction became one of the most iconic films of the decade when Alex boiled Dan’s rabbit in a pot on the stove.
An ITV series named The Real Fatal Attraction, which dives into Ahmed’s crimes, will air on November 13, 2024.
Fans can rewatch the series after it airs live through ITV’s streaming service ITVX.
Who is Tiffany Trump’s mom Marla Maples?
MARLA MAPLES is former President Donald Trump’s second ex-wife and mother of one of his daughters
Marla is mother to Tiffany Trump as a result of her marriage to Donald – here’s everything we know about her.
Tiffany Trump’s mother Marla Maples is Donald’s second ex-wife[/caption]Who is Tiffany Trump’s mom Marla Maples?
Born on October 27, 1963, Marla Maples is an American socialite, actress, and media personality from Cohutta, Georgia.
She was also a beauty pageant queen and was the Miss Georgia USA runner-up in 1984.
Marla also appeared as a celebrity guest at WWF WrestleMania VII and several movies like Richie Rich: White Christmas and Loving Annabelle.
She even made a cameo appearance in the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alongside her then-husband Donald Trump.
In 2016, she competed in season 22 of Dancing With The Stars, but was third to be eliminated, and guest co-hosted The View on ABC.
Maples is now a wellness, spirituality, and motivational speaker and is often invited to various summits as a keynote speaker.
She describes herself as “mostly vegan” and promoted a number of alternative treatments during the Covid-19 pandemic, the effectiveness of which was questioned by critics.
She also makes personalized videos through Cameo.
When did Tiffany’s parents Marla and Donald meet?
In 1989, Marla met Donald while strolling on Madison Avenue in New York City.
When they met, Donald was still married to his first wife, Ivana, when he decided to go on a date with Marla.
Regarding her relationship with Donald, Marla told Vanity Fair at the time: “I believe I have a purpose and that there is a reason we’re together.
“It’s a good love, it’s not a harmful love. It’s a really good, trusting love.
“I would be happier living out on a farm away from everyone and not being in this concrete world, and here he is representing everything that some people think is very materialistic.
“Sometimes you need something from someone who is completely the opposite and you find a place where you can meet and learn.”
Meanwhile, Ivana recalled in her book Raising Trump: “This young blonde woman approached me out of the blue and said ‘I’m Marla and I love your husband. Do you?‘
“I said ‘Get lost. I love my husband.’ It was unladylike but I was in shock.”
Tiffany was born a month before Donald and Marla tied the knot at the Plaza Hotel in NYC[/caption]How long were Marla and Donald together?
Between Tiffany’s birth and Donald’s divorce from Ivana, the 45th President and Marla dated on and off for some time.
On October 13, 1993, the pair welcomed Tiffany in West Palm Beach, Florida.
Although she is Donald’s fourth child and second daughter, the socialite is Marla’s only child.
On December 20, 1993, the couple tied the knot and held their wedding ceremony at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.
Years later, Tiffany’s parents separated in May 1997 and officially divorced on June 8, 1999.
It came after Donald fired his bodyguard Spencer Wagner in 1996 after police found him and Maples together on a beach at 4 am.
Both Maples and Trump denied any affair, while Wagner has made a number of different accounts of the incident.
Under the terms of her prenup with Donald, Maples is bound by a confidentiality agreement in matters relating to their marriage.
