Watch moment Chris Taylor makes Holly Willoughby blush as he makes very crude remark live on Dancing On Ice

LOVE Island star Chris Taylor left Holly Willoughby speechless as he made a very crude comment on tonight’s Dancing on Ice.

The 34-year-old transformed himself into Ken for Movie Week alongside his pro skater Vanessa Bauer – and even sported blonde hair for the occasion.

Speaking about his performance, Holly said: “And Chris tonight as Ken, this feels like the role you were born to play.”

Chris replied:  “Yeah I came out of the womb smooth down there and with a fur jacket on, so…”

Looking slightly uncomfortable, Holly quickly cut him off and said: “Right, I think we will leave that there, thank you very much Chris.”

Chris famously had a very small role in the Barbie movie after meeting Margot Robbie at a party.

Tonight’s episode saw Ferne McCann get booted off in a shock move.

The reality star, who rose to fame in The Only Way Is Essex before landing her own shows, and skating partner Brendyn Hatfield ended up with the lowest scores.

As she broke down in tears, Ferne said: “So gutted, but it is what it is.

“It’s been amazing. Thank you so so much. It’s just been brilliant. So fantastic.”

Derek Lyng praises Kilkenny’s resilience after comeback victory over Clare in Allianz Hurling League opener

DEREK LYNG praised Kilkenny’s battling spirit as they came from behind in Ennis to defeat Clare in their league opener.

Having been behind all the way until the 58th minute, the Cats broke free thanks to a Gearóid Dunne point to take the lead for the first time.

Kilkenny produced a comeback to win the Allianz Hurling League Division opener on Sunday afternoon

Lyng’s charges then found an extra gear and held out for a deserved two-point advantage at the final whistle.

The victorious gaffer said: “It was a battling performance and that was the most pleasing part of it.

“They got a very good start but we kept at it.

“Obviously we made plenty of mistakes — but that’s all right this time of year and they are working their way through it.

“It was a very honest performance and we did just enough to get through it in the end.

“I thought we got a good impact off the bench too.”

All-Ireland champions and league holders Clare were the dominant force early on and found themselves 0-9 to 0-2 ahead by the 16th minute, with free-taker David Reidy claiming five of those early scores.

But four in a row for the visitors, through Billy Drennan — with two frees — Martin Keoghan and Billy Ryan got Kilkenny back into contention.

These sides last met in last year’s All-Ireland semi-final with the Banner coming out on top.

Yesterday, Kilkenny fielded nine of those who featured in Croke Park while the hosts started only five.


Clare’s teamsheet looked experimental due to injuries and a number of rested players, while Kilkenny had a little more settled look to their starting line-up.

By half-time, the Leinster champions reduced the deficit to just two points as Billy Drennan converted a 65 with the last play of the opening 35.

Scores from Keoghan and mid-fielder Peter McDonald had the sides tied three minutes into the second period.

As the half progressed, the teams were neck and neck with Clare claiming scores off lively corner-forward Shane Meehan, half-forward David Conroy and substitute Paddy Donnellan.

McDonald split the posts again while a pair of frees by Drennan and a score from play by Dunne had the Cats level at 0-16 apiece on 53 minutes.

Kilkenny’s Eoin Cody then seized the lead a minute later in a ding-dong battle.

Banner manager Brian Lohan introduced Keith Smyth into the attack and the young Killenena clubman fired over two fine points in succession to tie matters up once more with seven minutes remaining.

A cracking encounter then saw the hosts regain the lead through Seán Rynne and Cian Galvin but a tenacious Kilkenny replied with scores by Paddy Deegan, Keoghan, a Drennan free, Cody and substitute Luke Hogan.

From there, the Cats’ experience on the field saw them through.

Their half-back line, particularly after the interval, stormed into the game with wing-backs Mikey Carey and new recruit Fionán Mackessy impressing.

Cody and Keoghan up front began to exhibit their class and proved a handful for the Clare defence in a late and successful surge.
Lohan, whose led his men to the All-Ireland last year.

He said: “We want to win every game but you do also see your panel and see if you can get one or two players on top of the normal 17 or 18 that we have.

“That would be a bonus as well. In those big games when we look at last year, we used 23 players in the All-Ireland final, which was massive.

“We need to be getting up to that level.”

Ultra rare 1950s Aston Martin with not even 2 miles on the clock goes up for sale – and it could be yours

YOU could get your hands on an incredible road-legal 1950s Aston Martin DB4 GT Continuation – with only 1.9 miles on the clock.

Unbelievable images show the race car finished in Moonbeam silver with dark brown luxurious leather, complimented with brown stitching interior.

Other pictures show stunning exposed carbon-fibre bucket seats with leather inserts David Brown Wings headrests and a leather-wrapped three-spoke steering wheel.

It has a DOHC 12-valve 4.2-litre inline-6 engine.

This car is a modern version of an iconic 1959 model driven by British racing star, Stirling Moss.

The DB4 GT was the fastest passenger sports car in Britain at the time.

The unbelievable listing read: “This particular DB4 GT Continuation has been made road legal in the UK and EU via the IVA compliance protocol performed by R-Reforged.

“Although Aston Martin built these DB4 GT Continuation models as non-road-legal track-only cars, R-Reforged offers a service to certify them for the street.”

After nearly 60 decades, the model on offer is one of only 25 crafted by Aston Martin to celebrate its racing career.

Le Mans winning driver Darren Turner was involved in its development ensuring Chassis number 0202R was up to modern standards.

Original supplier Borrani supplied the spectacular wire wheels.

The model is set to be auctioned by SBX Cars.

The listing explained that the 2018 Aston Martin DB4 GT Continuation is powered by a DOHC 12-valve 4.2-litre inline-6 rated for 340 horsepower and 350 lb-ft of torque.

It added: “A 4-speed manual transmission routes power to the rear wheels with a Powr-Lok limited-slip differential.

“This is not a restoration or a restomod, but a factory-built facsimile of the original DB4 GT with all-new parts down to the thin-gauge aluminium body over a tubular frame, the enlarged Tadek Marek-designed straight-6, and the 4-speed manual with straight-cut gears.

“Even the tools used in the process are the same as those used all those years ago.”

It comes after Aston Martin released its latest jaw-dropping convertible.

Priced at £175,000, the Vantage Roadster features a unique soft-top roof mechanism that sets it apart from its rivals.

The two-seater Roadster is powered by a 665hp 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering a 0-60mph acceleration in just 3.5 seconds.

With a top speed of 202mph, it matches the performance of the coupe version while adding the freedom of open-top driving.

The standout feature is its roof, which Aston Martin claims is the fastest-operating fully automatic soft-top on the market.
