Daredevil: Born Again has been growing on me since its sort-of disappointing premiere episode (I may have had high expectations after the Netflix originals). It was great to see Matt back in the suit again, and the parallels between him and Wilson Fisk are tastefully done. What is not tastefully done is the show’s proxy […]

Dwayne Johnson and John Cena’s rivalry started in 2011 when Johnson made fun of Cena’s catchphrase, and Cena responded with a rap about The Rock abandoning WWE. During this period, Cena also had a rivalry with CM Punk and the two were slated to contest at SummerSlam that year for the Undisputed WWE Championship title. […]

CHRISTINE McGuinness found an unlikely friend in Spencer Matthews as the pair bonded on a TV show during her split from husband Paddy.
The co-stars spent a week together on a “spiritual journey” filming for BBC’s Pilgrimage: The Road Through North Wales, which aired last year.
Sources have this week told the Daily Mail how Spencer was a shoulder to cry on as she navigated her emotions in dealing with her marriage breakdown.
“You would never have put those two together but they got along instantly,” an insider said of the pair as they filmed the BBC show.
“Poor Christine had been through the mill. She had been with Paddy since she was so young.
“He was really all she knew in a man, so then to strike up this friendship with Spencer was just lovely. It was noticed by everyone on set that they got on especially well.
“It must have been so refreshing for her to have someone making her laugh, as they really got into the spiritual side of life.”
Christine and Spencer hiked 225km across Wales along with five other celebs of different faiths and beliefs.
In one of the final scenes of the programme, Christine said to the group: “For me it doesn’t feel like the end at all, it feels like the beginning.
“It’s made me want to live more. I don’t just want to exist.”
She then turned to Spencer and said: “I want to laugh every day like we have. I want to make more memories.”
Made in Chelsea star Spencer, happily married to Irish model and influencer Vogue Williams, went on the trip having lost his brother – who disappeared hours after reaching Mount Everest’s summit in 1999. His body was never recovered.
Describing his experience during the Pilgrimage, Spencer said: “It was an enlightening journey.
“The whole experience made me feel even happier to be alive.”
In recent weeks he has faced rumours of trouble in his marriage to Vogue – who furiously hit back telling fans: “It’s with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up!
“I usually avoid addressing baseless and cruel rumours but this just keeps coming up.”
She added: “It’s absolutely not true and much more importantly I don’t want my children hearing these lies in the playground.
“We’re not sure what the angle is or where it’s coming from but the whole thing feels very strange and mean.
“We’re very happily married and in love and I hope posting the truth on my own platform might make it stop.”
The pair, who married in 2018, share three children together Theodore, aged six, Gigi, aged four, and youngest Otto, aged two.
Meanwhile Christine’s divorce was finalised in 2022, following a 12-year marriage to comedian Paddy.
Christine says she’s in “no rush” to get back on the dating scene as she still lives with her ex, co-parenting their three children, who are all on the autism spectrum.
The former couple recently spent Christmas Day together for the sake of their children; twins Penelope and Leo, 11, and Felicity, eight.
Christine admitted of the Pilgrimage: “I didn’t [think I’d have such a good time],
“I’m used to being busy and with the kids and things like that, would I be OK with all the time in my own head?
“And I got there and there wasn’t a moment really for me to be in my own head.”
HELEN Flanagan really is the gift that keeps on giving and today gave fans a treat when she shared a video of herself in a plunging dress.
The actress’ latest Instagram post comes just days after the sexy star, 34, revealed her surprising crush from her Coronation Street days.
Helen looked stunning in her plunging dress that showed off her boob job.

Meanwhile, this week Helen revealed a surprising crush on her Coronation Street co-star.

Helen joined the soap in 2000 and stayed on the cobbles for 12 years, before making a comeback in 2017.
The actress then went on maternity leave in June of 2018 but has not been seen on the street since.
In an interview this week on Vanessa Feltz’s new Channel 5 show, the former Celebs Go Dating star talked about how she only has fond memories of her time on the show.
Helen revealed that she had a crush on a Corrie Co-star when she was much younger, and so was he.
“I used to love working with Jack (P. Shepherd),” she admitted.
“We used to tutor together. I had quite a crush on Jack.”
In the same interview, Helen talked about keeping things spicy in her relationship with her new boyfriend, Robbie Talbot, 44.
She said: “I do think in the beginning of a relationship you do send your boyfriend sexy pictures and things like that.
“But when you get comfortable, you just don’t, you know that he loves you for just you.”
She continued: “But I definitely think its a good idea to keep things fresh and exciting and fun.”
Helen started dating Robbie last year, two years after her split from Scott Sinclair.
The couple have gone from strength to strength ever since, with the actress calling him a “really genuine, lovely man”.
Vanessa airs on Channel 5 and is available to stream on My5.
CARLO ANCELOTTI is facing FOUR YEARS behind bars for alleged tax evasion.
The Madrid (opens in a new tab)” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Real Madrid gaffer is accused of deliberately misinforming the Spanish tax office of his earnings during his first spell in charge of the club between 2014 and 2015.
It’s alleged that the Italian misled the tax office to avoid paying over £833,000 in income tax.
The 65-year-old is set to appear in court on April 2 to address the allegations.
His court date will come the day after the first leg of Real’s Copa del Rey semi-final tie against Real Sociedad.
That’s just six days before the first leg of Los Blancos’ Champions League quarter-final tie with Arsenal.
Ancelotti has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, although the former AC Milan and Everton boss has previously underpaid tax.
He admitted to not paying his fair share of tax in 2014 but blamed his doing so on errors from his accountants.
The Italian is adamant he hasn’t broken the law, claiming he didn’t spend the 183 days in Spain required to pay tax.
Prosecutors, however, will argue the bulk of his income came from Real as he didn’t take charge of Bayern Munich until December 2016.

If found guilty, Ancelotti could face FOUR YEARS behind bars.
The veteran manager, however, is confident he’ll be exonerated of any wrongdoing.
He said of his legal issues: “This is an old story.
“The Prosecutor’s Office believes I was a resident in 2015, and I believe I wasn’t.
“The fine has been paid, and the case is in the hands of my lawyers.
“I’m convinced I’m innocent. Let’s see what the judge decides.”
Ancelotti isn’t the only high-profile Spanish football star to be embroiled in a tax scandal.
Barcelona icon Lionel Messi and his father, Jorge, were convicted of tax fraud for defrauding the government of £3.4million between 2007 and 2009.
In 2016, the Argentine was hit with a 21-month jail term for using tax havens to conceal his earnings from image rights.
But he ended up paying a fine of £223,000 instead.
