Tommy Fury in talks for KSI rematch as boxer stuns ITV bosses by pulling out of I’m A Celebrity at two weeks notice

TOMMY FURY is in line for a rematch with KSI after pulling out of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!

The 25-year-old boxer had been in talks with ITV producers for months about the jungle reality show which is just weeks away.

But it is thought Fury — younger half-brother of heavyweight champion Tyson — has been handed a more lucrative project to fight YouTuber KSI, who he beat last year.

It was hoped the ex-Love Islander might have spilled the beans in the jungle camp about his relationship with Molly Mae-Hague, 25, which ended in August.

A TV insider said: “Bosses are surprised Tommy has pulled out of I’m A Celebrity at this late stage as it would have been a great opportunity for him.

“Thankfully, execs already had some great names waiting in the wings so they’ll be looking at which ones fit best into the line-up already booked so they can deliver a truly great series.

“With only weeks to go, bosses have lined up one of the most exciting casts in the show’s history.”

Fury would have been joining a line-up expected to include WAG Coleen Rooney, Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse and N-Dubz singer Tulisa.

The stars usually fly Down Under in mid November — a week before the series kicks off on November 17.

It came as hosts Ant and Dec yesterday released the show’s trailer, appearing as mad scientists.

The Sun exclusively revealed at the start of September that Fury was in talks with jungle execs.

He had been accused of cheating on Molly — which he has denied — but he was expected to give his side of the story in the Australian jungle.

It is believed he may now be stepping back in to the ring with KSI.

After their fight in October, the YouTuber said: “That is robbery.

“How many jabs did you land? Look at your face. I’m the YouTuber, you are the boxer so you have to win?

“He is the man who is supposed to be the pro boxer. He hit me on the back of the head over and over. It is outrageous. I want to appeal. I felt like I won that.”

A spokesman for I’m A Celebrity declined to comment.

Fury and KSI, 31, both suffered hand injuries after their pay-per-view Misfits Boxing bout.

And Mams Taylor – KSI’s manager and co-founder of Misfits – admitted talks with Fury’s camp were due to take place.

Taylor told us: “I think Tommy would do really well on the Misfits roster. And I know our teams are in touch with their team.

“So watch this space. Let’s see what happens.”

ROSÉ lovers, prepare to raise your glasses as a major supermarket is selling a huge 1.5L magnum size bottle of La Vieille Ferme Rosé.

Affectionately dubbed “Chicken Wine“, the popular drink is priced at just £14 with Sainsbury’s Nectar Prices and is perfect for Christmas parties and festive gatherings.

La Vieille Ferme Rosé, already a favourite among wine enthusiasts, has skyrocketed in popularity after going viral on Instagram and TikTok this past summer.

Its playful nickname, “Chicken Wine,” and light, refreshing taste have made it a social media sensation, driving an impressive 96% boost in sales at Sainsbury’s compared to the same time last year.

If you’re hosting this Christmas, the magnum-sized bottle is guaranteed to be a conversation starter.

Whether for gifting or for sharing at the table, this larger version of the viral rosé ensures there will be enough to go around.

Available in selected Sainsbury’s superstores from this Sunday, this magnum promises to be a must-have for rosé lovers looking to make a statement this holiday season.

Sainsbury’s new magnum of La Vieille Ferme Rosé not only brings a larger bottle for festive gatherings, but also a better deal.

The 1.5L magnum, priced at £14 with Nectar Prices (or £16 without), works out at £1.07 per 100ml.

This makes it a more affordable option compared to the standard 750ml bottle, which usually sells for £8.50, or £1.13 per 100ml.

Unless the smaller bottle is on offer, the magnum offers better value for money, making it an attractive option for anyone stocking up on wine for Christmas or other celebrations.

The magnum of La Vieille Ferme Rosé at Sainsbury’s not only offers convenience but also better value compared to standard-sized bottles across other supermarkets.

The regular 750ml bottle is priced at £8.50 in Tesco and Asda, £7.50 at Waitrose, and £9.50 at Co-op.

Meanwhile, parents are rushing to Sainsbury’s to get their hands on toys for sale, with a mega-shot rifle with foam bullets scanning at tills at 50 per cent off.

It’s one of the biggest pre-Christmas sales around, with loads of parents stocking up on bargain presents for their kids.

Many savvy savers recently spotted the cheap toys in their local branches and finished festive shopping for the children in their family.

The shoppers posted their find on the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group after snapping up various toys – with some half price.

One of the members who posted about their finds said that they’d have a “happy grandson at Christmas” after picking up a Zuru Xshot for £20 instead of £40 – a 50 per cent saving.

Another member gushed over their items, saying they “will have two very happy little girls at Christmas” after picking up various Barbie dolls and Bluey toys.

The savvy shoppers found the goods in Sainsbury’s highly-anticipated toy sale.

Katie Price describes her pre-surgery appearance as ‘disgusting’ and ‘rough’ after sparking concern with latest op

KATIE Price has candidly described her pre-surgery appearance as “disgusting” and “rough” following her latest £10,000 facelift.

The former glamour model, who has undergone numerous surgeries over the years, addressed her decision to continue altering her appearance despite her family, including her mum Amy, begging her to stop.

She made a number of heartbreaking statements about her looks as she spoke to interviewer Louis Theroux, 54, on his podcast.

He asked her whether she suffered from body dysmorphic disorder, described by the NHS as “a mental health condition where a person spends a lot of time worrying about flaws in their appearance”.

Calling her reflection “disgusting,” Katie, 46, admitted going under the knife helps her feel more confident and in control of her body.

The mum-of-five said: “Ever since I was little and even when I was a model I never looked at myself and told myself I was pretty.

“When people show me old pictures of myself when I first started out and I had no work done, I’m always just like ‘ugh’.

Louis asked Katie if she missed the way she looked when she was younger.

The TV star, who began modelling aged 17, replied: “No I don’t look at it like that, I look back and I think ‘rough’.

“I feel like I was disgusting.

“If there’s something to tweak I would do it. Sometimes in the past I have looked at myself in mirror and said to myself ‘that’s too much’. I know when I’ve gone too far.

“I don’t know whether it’s body-dysmorphia or what it is, but I know I need to get to grips with it. I don’t mind getting old, it’s not that. I’m not afraid of getting old. But with my face, if there’s something to tweak, it’s just something to do.”

Fans have expressed concerns about Katie’s health and her numerous boob jobs over the years.

But Amy, 70, said it is a cry for help.

She revealed the truth about her daughter’s pain in her book The Last Word, serialised in The Sun.

“WHEN most people have an off day or are feeling a bit down, they change the colour of their nails or dye their hair, but Kate changes the shape of her body,” Amy wrote.

“It’s usually her boobs, although she has had liposuction, a mini facelift, a brow lift and a bum lift.”

However, Katie remains unapologetic about her decisions.

It follows reports Katie’s kids are also “angry and embarrassed” by her recent £10,000 facelift.

Her model daughter Princess, 17, is said to be struggling the most with the star’s never-ending surgeries.

Katie Price's Surgery: A Timeline

1998 – Katie underwent her first breast augmentation taking her from a natural B cup to a C cup. She also had her first liposuction

1999 – Katie had two more boob jobs in the same year, one taking her from a C cup to a D cup, and then up to an F cup

2006 – Katie went under the knife to take her breasts up to a G cup

2007 – Katie had a rhinoplasty and veneers on her teeth

2008 – Katie stunned fans by reducing her breasts from an F cup to a C cup

2011 – Going back to an F cup, Katie also underwent body-contouring treatment and cheek and lip fillers

2014/5 – Following a nasty infection, Katie had her breast implants removed

2016 – Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers

2017 – After a disastrous ‘threading’ facelift, Katie also had her veneers replaced. She also had her eighth boob job taking her to a GG cup

2018 – Katie went under the knife yet again for a facelift

2019 – After jetting to Turkey, Katie had a face, eye and eyelid lift, Brazilian bum lift and a tummy tuck

2020 – Katie has her 12th boob job in Belgium to correct botched surgery and a new set of veneers

2021 –  In a complete body overhaul, she opts for eye and lip lifts, liposuction under her chin, fat injected into her bum and full body liposuction

2022 – Katie undergoes another brow and eye lift-and undergoes ‘biggest ever’ boob job in Belgium, her 16th in total

2023 – Opting for a second rhinoplasty, Katie also gets a lip lift at the same time as well as new lip filler throughout the year

2024 – Katie has her 17th boob job in Brussels after revealing she wanted to downsize. She performed at Dublin Pride just days later and surgeons warned the lack of recovery posed a risk of infection

Katie has previously said: “I will never stop with this surgery. I want to be a Bratz doll.

“It’s my body and I do what I want to do.

“That’s how it should be, your body, your choice. The difference is I talk about it.

“There’s a lot of people out there who hide [what they’ve had done].”

A source close to the family told Closer: “Princess worries about all her mum’s cosmetic surgeries and thinks that Katie is surrounding herself with people who don’t tell the truth.

“Instead, they’re giving her the green light to keep going, but it’s not their body, and she’s not their mum.

“Princess is angry and Junior is embarrassed – he’s said Katie is cringe and needs serious help.

“Their mum has become a laughing stock and the brunt of jokes.

“It was bad before, but now it’s awful – it affects all the kids so negatively.”

I was raped by dad from age 3 – he said he’d KILL me if I told but I escaped… then I went through it again with brother

A WOMAN has bravely spoken out after she was raped by her dad from the age of three – before her own brother continued the abuse when she’d finally escaped.

Sarah Sidebottom, 54, was raped and sexually abused by her father Arthur William Bowditch, 75, and her brother Arthur Stephen Bowditch, 56.

Sarah, from Barnsley, South Yorkshire, has opened up about her appalling trauma in a new book called ‘The Letter’.

Sarah, now married and a mum-of-two and a grandmother, recalled being sexually abused by her father when she was just three-and-a-half years old.

She said: “To the outside world, Dad was charming, a big character, larger than life, and well-known locally as a builder.

“But at home, he was a monster, with a dark, evil look in his eyes.”

Her father threatened to “shoot” Sarah and her mother if she told anyone of the abuse.

After her parents separated when she was 13 years old, Sarah thought her “nightmare” was over.

Her older brother, known as Stephen, went to live with his father.

But her brother then came to live with Sarah and her grandma and he raped her when she was 15.

Sarah explained: “I couldn’t believe it was happening again. Stephen raped me and it was horrendous.”

She was so badly hurt by one of the assaults by her father that she received internal injuries.

Sarah required surgery and was discharged from hospital on her fourth birthday.

Her father had told doctors she had fallen down the stairs.

A letter from West Somerset Hospital shows they believed he was telling the truth.

Yet it was that same medical document that helped get her justice.

Sarah continued: “I couldn’t believe what I was reading. I had no memory of going into hospital, no memory at all of the operation.

“I have scarring down below, but I never really thought of it in connection with the sexual abuse.

“The police told me the letter was vital in the decision to bring charges against my father and brother.”

Bowditch Senior was sentenced to 21 years in prison while his son was jailed for 12 years.

Sarah said that she felt the judge was too lenient on the pair.

She is now telling her story in the hope others will come forward themselves.

The book about Sarah’s life is now available to buy here.

  • Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare.
  • If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone.

Tommy Fury pulls out of I’m A Celebrity just weeks before filming after getting big money rival offer

BOXER Tommy Fury has pulled out of I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! – just two weeks before the stars were expected to fly out to the Australian jungle.

The 25-year-old had been in talks with ITV producers for months but had been offered another more lucrative project, which is believed to be a rematch between him and KSI.

It was hoped that Tommy, younger half-brother of heavyweight boxing champion Tyson Fury, might have spilled the beans on his doomed relationship with Molly Mae Hague, 25, whom he met when they were both contestants on ITV2 dating show, Love Island.

A TV insider said: “Bosses are surprised Tommy has chosen to pull out of I’m A Celebrity at this late stage as it would have been a great opportunity for him too.

“Thankfully, the execs already had some great names waiting in the wings so they’ll now be looking at which ones fit best into the line up already booked so they can deliver a truly great series.

“With only weeks to go, bosses have lined up one of the most exciting casts in the show’s history.”

Tommy would have been joining a superb line-up which is expected to include WAG queen Coleen Rooney, Dancing on Ice judge Oti Mabuse and NDubz singer Tulisa.

The stars usually jet down under in Mid November, around a week before the show, hosted by Ant & Dec, kicks off its three-week run on ITV1.

The Sun exclusively revealed at the start of September that Tommy was in talks with jungle bosses, and as a man who’d become famous on an ITV show, he seemed like the perfect choice.

He had also just been through a very public break up with Molly over the summer in which he was accused of cheating on her.

Tommy has denied being unfaithful and was expected to use key moments around the jungle campfire to give his side of the story.

But his boxing matches are always likely to be better paydays than the figures ITV can offer celebrities, and it’s believed he may be stepping back into the ring with KSI, whom he narrowly beat last year.

KSI, who has just completed a judging stint on Britain’s Got Talent by replacing Bruno Tonioli at show auditions in Blackpool, wasn’t happy with the result as it was his first defeat.

After their fight in October, 2023, he said: “That is a robbery, bro. How many jabs did you land? Look at your face, look at your eyes. I’m the YouTuber, you are the boxer so you have to win?

“He is the man who is supposed to be the pro boxer. He hit me on the back of the head over and over. It is outrageous. I want to appeal. I need to see it again. I felt like I won that.”

A spokesman for I’m A Celebrity declined to comment.
