  • Andi Peters has viewers fuming after awkward exchange live on air

    Andi Peters has viewers fuming after awkward exchange live on air

    Andi Peters has left Good Morning Britain viewers fuming after a Christmas competition viewer admitted that she hadn’t received a single prize.

    Andi Peters was left a little awkward today after a competition prize winner from Christmas admitted that she hadn’t received her winnings despite being two months on from Christmas.

    Andi Peters who helps present on ITV in the morning boasted that the prize winner from the 2018 Christmas draw should have won a brand new Mercedes car, over £100,000 in money and a “gadget pack” for the family, however, the winner, Sue, revealed that she had not yet received the prizes.

    Andi then made light of the gaffe, by taking the winner by the arm and leading her to the studio doors, suggesting that the prizes were behind the doors, however it turned out to be a cruel joke.

    Speaking to the camera Andi said, “Real viewers win our competition prizes all the time and I’ve got a winner here. If you remember our Christmas competition, it was a massive prize worth over £200,000 – and the winner was our lovely Sue.”

    He then took Sue’s arm and said, “Well come with me Sue, because through these doors… there’s absolutely nothing.”

    Viewers weren’t happy with the exchange with many taking to Twitter to fume, One commented, “#GMB I think it’s disgusting that the Christmas competition winner has not received her prize by almost March. She should at the very least have had the money. That should be next day.”

    A viewer added, “So the Christmas winner has won big prizes but yet we are near the end of February and she’s not had any of them Why would anyone want to enter the competition now knowing this Bad advertising #GMB.”

  • MANCHESTER PRIDE: Voice singer on Ariana Grande headlining “capitalist venture”

    MANCHESTER PRIDE: Voice singer on Ariana Grande headlining “capitalist venture”

    Manchester Pride has announced that Ariana Grande is to headline the the event, but The Voice finalist, Lauren Bannon and Pride’s Got Talent finalist Andrea Di Giovanni have branded the announcement as “The straight cis white-washing of Pride”.

    [[File:93.3 FLZ Jingle Ball Tampa Florida IMG 6824 (11490181726).jpg|93.3 FLZ Jingle Ball Tampa Florida IMG 6824 (11490181726)]]
    The Voice and Pride’s Got Talent finalists Lauren Bannon and Andrea Di Giovanni have called the headline of Manchester Pride unacceptable and hit out at the Pride’s ticket price hike from £22 to £75 as a “joke” as many students and other pride goers will be unable to afford the ticket.

    THEGAYUK.com reached out to Manchester Pride to ask if there were reductions on offer, but they did not return comment.

    Andrea Di Giovanni told THEGAYUK “Ariana Grande has been chosen to headline Manchester Pride 2019 and that’s unacceptable, especially right now in a moment where the LGBTQ+ community faces continuous attacks by politicians, press and overall media.

    “The straight cis white-washing of Pride celebrations has reached its peak and we, as a community, need to stand up and truly focus on highlighting our own beautifully diverse talents. Ariana headlines Manchester, Kylie Minogue Brighton and Kate Nash & M.O. Birmingham; are we blind or we don’t want to see it?”

    The controversial artist continued,  “I’m not against allies, we need them but I am against a queerbaiting process that has its chore pure capitalism. It’s not a surprise, in fact, that Manchester Pride this year asks its participants to pay £70 a ticket to access the main stage area, compared to the £22 price of last year – pride is an honour of the people, a protest, not a concert to celebrate straight art! We do this every day.”

    Speaking about the controversial price hike, Lauren said, “For the prices to go from £22 to £75… now that’s a joke. I have no problem with straight performers, allies and the like, but when none of the biggest pride celebrations has a single LGBTQ+ headline, it highlights the lack of representation we have in the mainstream industry.

    “As for the price increases that follow these ‘Major Acts’ when did pride just become another capitalist venture? It’s supposed to be a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community, it should be accessible to all but by hiking up the prices it’s just making it less obtainable and disrespecting the whole purpose as to why we have a day like pride!”

    Bradley Hunt has hit out at homophobes by sharing horrific pictures from a homophobic attack at a nightclub from a man who took issue with the way he was dancing to Britney Spear’s ‘Toxic’.

    The star spoke about he was left with a black eye and a missing tooth after the vicious attack from a man he said took offence to the way Bradley was dancing.

    The reality star said, “I was dancing in Pop World to Britney Spears, I was flicking my neck, doing my dance moves and this guy came up to me. He said, ‘Can you stop dancing like that?’

    “Now I think he was trying to show off to some girls, something like that, and I’m thinking, ‘babes, the girls are loving my dancing. Like, they ain’t bothered at you trying to put me down, you ain’t gonna get a girl that way. Just saying’.

    “Anyway, I said to him, ‘don’t tell me what to do’, and I thought, you don’t tell somebody what to do, especially in a club – it’s Pop World! You don’t tell someone to stop dancing like that, I’m sorry, if you don’t like it, go somewhere else.

    “The pain absolutely killed”

    “Then came the smash right into the nose, then two of his mates on either side ricocheting, punching, thumping me, I’ve never been hit before and the pain absolutely killed.”

    Getting emotional, he continued “I had an instant headache and I absolutely panicked, I was screaming. I ran to the bar crying, I can feel one of teeth half of it in my hands, blood. I jumped over the bar because I was so scared, ran down to the beer cellar and was on the floor in tears, panicking. Obviously, I was drunk and it just came as a shock to me.

    Arrested

    “I called the police, they came and actually managed to find one of them around the corner and arrested him. And he stayed in the cell for a night but other than that nothing really happened. I did a statement at the police station but what can you do?”

    He added, “Homophobia’s still here. With me, some people recognise me so there’s a level of, they can say a joke, the can stare, they can laugh, that’s fine. I’ve been on the TV, I was the joke act, you can laugh and stare. But when people say ‘batty boy’, ‘queer’ or anything like that, or try and intimidate me, Nah. I don’t tolerate it.”

  • Big Brother star on ISIS Bride: “She’s a threat”

    Big Brother star on ISIS Bride: “She’s a threat”

    Former Big Brother star Ryan Ruckledge has hit out at the so-called ISIS Bride, Shamima Begum who wants to return to the UK.

    The teenager, Shamima Begum, who fled to Syria in 2015 from Bethnal Green in London to join the caliphate when she was just 15, now she wishes to come back home.

    Ryan Ruckledge who starred in the 2016 series of Big Brother has gone on a rant on social media saying that the woman, who has recently given birth “is a threat to our country” and that she’s “not welcome”.

    He uploaded the video to Instagram and so far it’s been viewed over 25,000 times.

    Speaking to his fans, Ryan said that he couldn’t believe the reports he was hearing in the media that Shamima Begum wanted to return to the UK after leaving in 2015 to go to Syria.

    In his Instagram rant, Ryan said that Begum’s baby should be taken off her and Begum herself should be “sent to Mars”.

    He said, “I can’t believe what I’m seeing in the media about that this jihadi bride that f**ked off from the UK, went to Syria to join ISIS.

    ISIS that has killed innocent people around the world, oh but now she’s popped a baby out… and wants to come back to the UK, well I tell you what, that is a f**king pisstake”.

    “Scrouging off the NHS”

    Ryan said the “ISIS Bridge” should be “sent to Mars” and that her baby should be taken off her.

    He continued his rant saying that Begum’s baby should be taken off her and Begum herself should be “sent to Mars”.

    He added, “Send her to Mars, take the baby off her, because she’s clearly not fit to have a child and tell her to get to f**k. What so she can come back to the UK, scrounge off the government, get benefits, scrounge off our NHS – oh why don’t we just chuck a free food hamper in from Lldl while we’re at it.

    “No, I’m not f**king having this. She’s a threat to our country, she’s not welcome, stay where you are. You’ve made your bed, now lie in, hun”

    It seems as though the reality star struck a chord with his followers, with many taking to the comment’s section to add their approval of his message. One simply added, “Amen” while another added, “Couldn’t agree more !!! Rages me the people saying she’s aloud [sic] back”.

    One pointed out that, “I think most of the nation will agree with Ryan’s point, every time it’s on the news my reaction is get to f**k”.

     

  • Porn star “Paint Shames” a guy he had sex with

    Porn star “Paint Shames” a guy he had sex with

    Porn Star Jordan Fox took to his social media to shame a guy he had sex with because he didn’t douche.

    Let’s talk about Top Privilege for a moment, shall we? WTF.

    Jordan Fox took to Twitter to publicly paint or nugget shame a guy he had sex with. He showed off a dirty condom after a guy he had sex left. Paint shaming is shaming a bottom if the rectum isn’t fully emptied and a poop incident happens during anal sex.

    In his now deleted Tweet he wrote, “Just f**ked a guy and look what happened, can’t you bottoms clean your ass properly before getting fucked ?? I’m not into scat! SHAME ON HIM”

    He also used the angry and vomit emoji.

    CocktailsAndCocktalk reached out to Fox for comment, who replied, “I was just upset, because there is a guy that always messes up my bed, because he never douches…”

    “I was just upset in the moment”.

    The moment? You had enough time to take the condom off, time to take a picture of the condom, time to open Twitter, time to write the Tweet, time to press Send.

    We’d say that there was some definite cooling off period…

    He told C&C that he “prefers his partners to douche” and that it wasn’t his intention to attack anybody.

    The star received a fair amount of backlash to his Tweet so wrote a warning Tweet on his timeline, “PLEASE NOTE: there is no place for haters on my profile so anyone doing bad comment or insulting me will be blocked immediately. If you dont like me then just dont follow me”

    The Tweet was accompanied with the fist emoji.

    Treating bottoms with respect

    The star also ran a poll in which he asked his fans whether bottoms should be treated with respect.

    https://twitter.com/JordanFoxXXX/status/1092865220060565504

    When the poll returned with the majority saying bottoms should be treated with respect he wrote, “Seems bottoms do not want to be respected..that’s fine I ll treat them like pigs”.
