Twitter users are not happy with the “inappropriate” way the male models were treated last night during a task on The Apprentice, where the candidates had to choose a model for a front cover of a magazine.
All business. No pleasure. #TheApprentice pic.twitter.com/X8ARGbPgPz

During the task, candidates, Elizabeth McKenna and Michaela Wain called the models to walk one by one and asked if they had abs under their shirts and asked them to reveal them.

The “cringey” scene was criticised by some fans of the show calling the interaction, “sexual harassment” and having “double standards”.
Interesting how this is acceptable and just laughed off. Swap the sexes around here and this would be deemed to be bloody sinister. Sexual harassment? Double standards? ?

This is not funny, and very poor judgment by the BBC. #TheApprentice

What happened to gender equality? I’ve not caught the show tonight…just this image

This scene was sooo uncomfortable to watch, and I’m glad a lot of other ladies thought so too! It’s not acceptable and shouldn’t have been allowed. So cringeworthy, and not funny in any way. Michaela and Elizabeth should have acted more professionally. ?#TheApprentice

Dear BBC,
Please PLEASE do something about this. Sexual misbehaviour and misconduct happens to both Women AND Men and I can’t help feeling that if this were happening to a Female model then it would be deemed inappropriate yet this is being deemed humorous.
Thank you.

Elizabeth measuring the male model’s leg is not appropriate. It’s a personal invasion. If it had been a female model, it would have not been in tv. @bbcapprentice @BBC @Lord_Sugar #TheApprentice

THEGAYUK.com’s editor and chief, Jake Hook said, “It was totally unsuitable for Elizabeth to touch the male model or measure his inside leg in the way she did. Both candidates acted inappropriately in the casting and what resulted was an entirely cringey TV moment. As a company who have created dozens of magazine covers, we have never measured a model’s inside leg. It was disappointing to see this being broadcast as a potential insight into how a magazine cover is created. I wonder how Elizabeth and Michaela react if they had been treated in this way”.
Piers Morgan has asked his fans not to sexually objectify him after posting a near naked photo of himself on Twitter.
I’m reposting this photo to promote manism & empower men to feel liberated.
But I’ll be absolutely outraged if anyone now sexually objectifies me. pic.twitter.com/3gHprLJMDs— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 7, 2017
The Good Morning Britain presenter sent his fanbase into a mini-meltdown after posting a near-nude photo of himself – and wrote “I’m reposting this photo to promote manism & empower men to feel liberated. But I’ll be absolutely outraged if anyone now sexually objectifies me”.
Within an hour the tweet had attracted over 1,700 likes and nearly 500 comments.
Morgan was responding to a mountain of judgment from Twitter users after he criticised and called model Emily Ratajkowski a ‘global bimbo’ after she posted a video of herself in her underwear whilst sitting in Spaghetti. She had said that she felt “empowered” in the food-themed photoshoot.
Yes, what a wonderful testament to feminist empowerment! Here’s how to get on in life girls: strip off & writhe in pasta, then complain about men ‘objectifying’ you… https://t.co/sYi0e9rSau
— Piers Morgan (@piersmorgan) December 6, 2017
Emily Ratajkowski hit back at Morgan’s critque saying, ”
“Lol never said my love video was a feminist statement. But now it’s worth saying that telling women what to do with their bodies & sexuality is actually just classic sexism.
“I can have opinions about feminism & also do sexy photo shoots k thanks.”
Morgan responded,
“Lol you literally posted a statement about feminism with your spaghetti snaps.”
He then continued,
“Anila, do you really think Emmeline Pankhurst fought for Emily Ratajkowski’s right to writhe semi-naked in spaghetti, post it to millions on social media & then feign indignant outrage at being ‘sexually objectified’? Pur-lease.
“I hope my daughter aspires to a more substantial feminist ideal than writhing semi-naked in spaghetti for publicity & Instagram likes.”

In a usual move for Netflix, Star Trek: Discovery has been released weekly rather than in one upload, allowing binge watching- as fans of the streaming service have come to expect.
This is mainly because the series is shown in the US on a traditional TV station CBS – which chooses to run the series weekly, meaning fans across the globe have to wait until each show is shown in the US first.
CBS is the owner of Star Trek rights for television series, while Paramount film studios own the rights to make the movies.
This means the latest ST series won’t be returning to our streaming devices until the new year because CBS has decided to create a “mid-season finale”. Allowing for Christmas scheduling.
The second part of the season won’t be available until January 2018. So fans have to wait a little longer for the following 8 episodes. In total, the series has 13 episodes.
The incident happened on board a train service at between Havant and Pulborough at 8.34pm on 22 September.
Two men boarded the service at Havant railway station, a short time into the journey two women board the service.
They were on board the service for around 20 minutes before leaving to get up to leave the service at Pulborough station.
One of the women then threw a glass jar which she was drinking from at the two men, brushing the head of one of them.
The same girl was also making homophobic remarks to the two men relating to their sexuality.
On arriving at the station, the two women got off the train, and as they did the same woman who had been using offensive language walked past the window where the two men were sat and spat at the window.
The women left the station while the two men stayed on the service.
Officers would now like to speak to the two women in the CCTV image as they believe they may have information that could help with the investigation.
Anyone with any information should contact British Transport Police on 08004 0 50 40 or text 61016 citing reference 656 of 22/09.
The British Transport Police confirmed that two people they wished to speak to in connection with an alleged homophobic assault on the Jubilee line have been arrested.
The two 16-year-old boys were arrested on suspicion of assault (5/12) and are currently in custody.
Investigators had been asking for the public’s help in identifying two people they’d wanted to speak to in connection with a violent incident on a Jubilee line train between West Ham and North Greenwich.
The incident happened on 21 October at around 11.10pm, when the alleged offenders boarded the train at West Ham and verbally abusing the victim and his friends, using homophobic language.
When they were challenged about their language, they purportedly became violent.
British Transport Police reported,
“The first offender then pulled the victim from his seat into a headlock, strangling him.
“The second offender took the victim’s phone and verbally abused him again, also making threats to stab him.
“They demanded the victim apologise for being gay which eventually the victim did as he was struggling to breathe. They then let him go and handed back his phone and a fight ensued between the victim’s friends and the offenders.
“One of the victim’s friends, a 25-year-old woman, was punched and pushed to the ground. She sustained bruising.
“The original victim did not sustain any injuries”.
The two then disembarked the train at North Greenwich, leaving the victims on the train.
In a statement, the BTP said, “Hate crime will not be tolerated by British Transport Police. We believe that everyone has the right to travel safety. We won’t tolerate behaviour where someone is targeted because they are perceived to be different, or made to feel uncomfortable on their journey”.
You can text the British Transport Police on 61016 to report non-emergency incidents.
In January 2018, as the nation marks 100 years since women won the right to vote for the very first time, Celebrity Big Brother launches this series with an all-female cast of celebrity housemates in a salute to a centenary of women’s suffrage on Channel 5.
Presented by Emma Willis, Celebrity Big Brother will initially explore how the all-female housemates interact, from politicians to performing artists, as they enter the house first, ahead of the celebrity male housemates.
Over the course of the series, as the male counterparts enter the house, the housemates will take part in a series of entertaining tasks and hidden experiments which will test their – and our – assumptions, challenge gender stereotypes and reveal fascinating truths about what it is to be a woman – and man – in the 21st century. See what happens when women hold the power, as Celebrity Big Brother January 2018 is set to be celebratory, surprising and insightful.
Celebrity Big Brother’s Bit On the Side will return weeknights with Rylan Clark-Neal.
Danny Miller doesn’t identify as gay and even went as far as to say that he found the intimate same-sex scenes awkward. Speaking in The Sun On Sunday in 2012, he said that filming some of the romantic scenes were “embarrassing”. When he was leaving the soap for the first time, he said, “I won’t miss kissing blokes. I haven’t got a problem with it but I don’t think I’ll be reminiscing!”
He’s since returned to the soap in 2014 and the character has even been married… Plenty of kissing still happens!
In an episode of Celebrity Juice, Danny Miller showed that he could do a brilliant impression of Corrie’s Kevin Webster. It’s uncanny. He was also asked to do the impression for Capital Juice.
In fact, the audience has trouble dealing with the storylines too. A recent storyline which saw the character taunted over his child abuse, whilst in prison, saw a whopping 180 complaints lodged with Ofcom.
Danny Miller’s net worth is quoted by one source as $700,000 however, this rumour hasn’t been confirmed. He will have made his fortune through his many many appearances on the soap, which to date have exceeded 380+ episodes. A company in his name has assets in excess of £148,000 as of 2017.
Danny was born in Stockport, Manchester. He was born in 1991, which makes him 26 in 2017. His birthday is the 2nd of January, which makes him a Capricorn.
Like many soap stars, Danny appeared in the CBBC drama, Grange Hill. He was in eight episodes in 2007. From Grange Hill, he went straight into Emmerdale.
No Danny Miller isn’t married to anyone.
Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7 pm on ITV, with an extra episode at 8 pm on Thursdays.
