James Cordon issued an apology to Ricky Gervais after repeating his 2018 stand-up joke about guitar lessons on The Late Late Show on Halloween night. The apology was after Gervais tweeted clip of Corden using his joke. Corden's joke is directly repeating Gervais' joke from his 2018 Netflix stand-up comedy gig Ricky Gervais: Humanity. Gervais, retweeting a clip of Corden repeating his joke, said in a since deleted tweet: 'The bit about the town square advert for guitar lessons is brilliant.' Gervais said he deleted the original tweet because he 'felt sorry for Corden.'

The husband of high-flying City fund manager and mother-of-six 'Superwoman' Nicola Horlick has died with cancer. Ms Horlick, whose eldest daughter Georgina died from leukaemia at the age of 12 after a 10-year battle, has announced her husband Martin Baker passed away last night, a month after his 64th birthday. 'He died this morning,' she told the Daily Mail's Richard Eden. 'He did really well to live so long.' Financial journalist Mr Baker was diagnosed with stage-four prostate cancer in 2018. He became Ms Horlick's second husband in 2006. They had met when he interviewed her for the Sunday Telegraph the previous year.

A British man has grown the 'world's most dangerous plant' known as the 'suicide plant' with a sting that feels like 'being burnt with hot acid and electrocuted at the same time'. Dendrocnide Moroides - also known as the 'Gympie-Gympie' is capable of torturing its victims 'for over a year if its stinging hairs are not removed from the skin' - even leading to suicide in some cases. One man was reportedly driven mad by the agonising pain after using the venomous plant as toilet paper and shot himself dead. Daniel Emlyn-Jones, 49, decided to grow the gympie-gympie in his home - where it sits in a cage marked with a 'danger' sign.

Terror police are now investigating the case of divorced father-of-two Andrew Leak, 66, who had a history of deluded online rants against Muslims and demanding that the UK close its borders. He drove more than 100 miles to lob three home-made explosives at the Western Jet Foil centre after 'carrying out a recce' the night before the attack. It comes as his Facebook profile has been found to be littered with pictures of Batman villain The Joker and he shared photos of himself in a balaclava and disturbing masks. Other vile social media posts included paranoid theories on the Covid vaccine and even suggesting the World Economic Forum was connected to Nazism. Neighbours revealed today that he had been worried about money after his benefits were cut. He told friends that he only had £36 in his account and that he would have to sell some of his clothes to have enough cash to survive on. Leak is also understood to have suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and had battled cancer and mental health issues in recent years, telling one neighbour that he had his penis removed because of a late stage tumour around four years ago.

EXCLUSIVE: It has previously been described as 'trolling on a Hollywood scale'. And Buckingham Palace is likely to find little comfort in the fifth series of controversial royal drama The Crown when it finally airs on Netflix on November 9. In fact it is even more cruel and offensive than previous speculation has suggested. The series features graphic reconstructions of the most private of conversations in lavicious detail, imagined conversations between Prince William and his late mother, and Princess Diana's infamous interview with Martin Bashir spread over two episodes. Only last year the then Duke of Cambridge made a rare and deeply emotional public statement asking that the Bashir interview - which was obtained by rampant deception feeding off his mother's instability and paranoia - should never be seen in public again. Sources have since made clear that this applies to using it for dramatic purposes too. The Daily Mail can today reveal in detail just how far the makers of the series - and writer Peter Morgan - have gone in chasing viewers for the streaming giant, which has lost 1.2 million subscribers this year and seen its share price drop.

Christina Applegate revealed she has gained 40 pounds since being diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. The 50-year-old actress - who shared her diagnosis in August 2021 - reflected on the struggles she experienced while filming the final season of her Netflix show, Dead to Me, amid her battle. 'This is the first time anyone's going to see me the way I am. I put on 40 pounds; I can't walk without a cane. I want people to know that I am very aware of all of that,' she said in a new interview with The New York Times.

Dame Judi Dench struggled to hold back her tears while discussing her late husband Michael Williams' death in 2001 in a new interview. The actress, 87, was appearing on BBC Two's Louis Theroux Interviews with the documentary maker, 52, when she began to get emotional. Louis said to her: 'You were together from 71 to 2001... Are you OK talking about how it came to an end, how he came to die?'

Migos rapper Takeoff's uncle and bandmate Quavo, 31, was caught on camera arguing with a group of people outside a Houston bowling alley in the early hours of Tuesday, just before Takeoff was shot. Takeoff died after he was shot in the 'head or neck' in a dispute, and his manager said he was killed by 'a stray bullet'. Police have launched a manhunt for his killer. The 28-year-old, who is a member of the hip hop trio, was shot at a 'private party' as a group gathered outside of the 810 Billiards & Bowling Houston, in Texas, at 2.34am. Authorities say they have 'no reason to believe he was involved in anything criminal' and confirmed that two firearms were used in the incident. They are appealing for any witnesses or anyone with information to come forward so they can apprehend his killer. A 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were taken to hospital in private vehicles suffering from gunshot wounds, which are not thought to be life-threatening.

ALEXANDER DOWNER: Tackling Britain's migrant crisis means answering one simple question. Who do you want to control immigration policy: the Government or people smugglers? It is as basic as that. If Britain is not to be at the mercy of criminal gangs, firm action is needed. I know, because 26 years ago, when I became Australia's foreign minister, we faced the same crisis. And we fixed it. It was tough: we needed a policy that was unbending yet humane. But it proved popular with voters. They too wanted immigration controlled fairly and firmly. If Rishi Sunak's government can learn from our experience, they could turn the polls around and reap the benefits at the next General Election.

Announcing her divorce, BBC presenter Victoria Fritz revealed she is changing her surname, not back to her maiden name but to her mother's name. Reverting to Trench, the name she was born with, after her marriage 'felt emotionally regressive and, quite frankly, anti-feminist', the 38- year-old mother-of-two said. Taking her Dubliner mother's maiden name, Valentine, was a 'tribute to the Irish strength and solidarity that has scaffolded me as I quietly rebuilt . . . when my heart was broken'. Here, five ex‑wives reveal what their names mean to them - and whether or not they kept them.

Michael Portz (pictured) pays just £38 a month at his brand new terraced flat in Beverley, East Yorkshire, where he lives alone. On top of that, he receives the Government's £66-a-month Energy Bills Support Scheme payment. This has been rolled out to households in the past few weeks regardless of income.

Disney's three-minute animated short follows on from 2020 and 2021's offerings - in which viewers first saw Lola and her granddaughter Nicole bonding over Christmas, before a grown-up Nicole and her children, Max and Ella, welcomed stepfather Mike into their home. This year's global ad - which once again supports long-standing partner, Make-A-Wish - welcomes another new addition as it follows youngest child Ella adjusting to the arrival of her newborn sibling. Ella at first struggles to deal with changing Christmas traditions while her mother is pregnant, and is comforted by a beloved glow in the dark Mickey Mouse soft toy, which was passed down to her from her brother Max. But upon her mother's return home with the newborn, Ella is instantly taken with the baby and gifts the soft toy to her new sibling.

Joe Biden was in Florida on Tuesday at three separate campaign stops and made a series of bizarre and baffling claims. Speaking alongside Congresswoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, who is hoping to get re-elected in Florida's 23rd district, in greater Miami, Biden mistakenly referred to her as a senator. 'I don't have a greater friend in the United States senate,' he said. 'And I didn't have a greater friend as vice president, nor as president. So Debbie, thank you, kiddo.' In Hallandale Beach, a Miami suburb 20 miles north of downtown, he claimed that the United States has low inflation - and managed to say once again that his son Beau died in Iraq. Among G7 countries, only Italy and the United Kingdom have worse inflation according to the OECD's latest data, from August.

Sydney couple Magnus and Dominique Perri and their young sons Lucas and Oliver (together right) were staying in Taronga's Roar and Snore tents (inset) when they were woken by roaring at about 4am on Wednesday. Just a few hours later a zookeeper rushed in to tell them they had 30 seconds to 'get out' because five lions (Taronga Zoo lions bottom right) had escaped their enclosure. Taronga Zoo have not confirmed how the lions managed to escape their exhibit but helicopter footage (left) shows police and keepers inspecting fencelines.

Regan Ellis, from Milton Keynes, who is a UK size 10, was 'mortified' when doctors told her to lose two and half stone because she was 'obese'. (left) She took to her TikTok @reganellisx to share the shocking story which astonished her followers. (right) The aesthetics practitioner explained that she'd gone to see her doctor for blood test results when he made the comment on her weight. Pictured left in June when she weighed just under 12st. She's since lost 10lbs.

Young, 47, spoke to Inside Edition's Deborah Norville in her first public comments about Trump since he became president in 2016 and in what she claims will be the last time. She confirmed a story from Maggie Haberman's book, Confidence Man, where Trump joked that his biracial model ex-girlfriend got her 'beauty' from her black mother and her 'intelligence' from her white father. Young told Norville that he did say it, but clarified: 'It sounds - when someone says something in jest - are they kidding? I don't know.' The model adds that they didn't 'fight or anything like that' but that she did tell Trump that 'it's not funny.'

Channel 10 star Narelda Jacobs has broken down in tears reporting on the alleged murder of an Indigenous schoolboy, who will be commemorated at vigils across the country today.  Cassius Turvey, a 15-year-old Noongar Yamatji boy from Perth, was allegedly bashed with a metal pole while walking home from school with friends and died on October 23. Ms Jacobs, a Whadjuk Noongar woman also from Perth, made an emotional plea this week as she was presenting for Studio 10, calling on Australians to stand together.

Teresa Helm, 42, said she spent a night at the East 66th Street apartment during her time being abused by the wealthy pedophile in 2002, which a lawsuit revealed was where he'd keep girls as young as 13. Helm said she was greeted with a gift basket that included cookies and fresh fruit, making her feel 'special.' She said: 'I remember the apartment clearly. It was relatively small and there was Dannon yoghurt in the fridge and a basket of fruit and cookies on the counter.' Helm noted that she assumed she'd be saying at a hotel, rather than what was listed in the famous Epstein black book under 'apartments for models.'

A violent brawl between two teenagers from upstate New York has been caught on camera showing a 17-year-old student stabbing his 18-year-old classmate in the hand and back before being stopped by teachers. The vicious attack took place at Proctor High School Utica on Monday and was filmed by onlookers and posted on social media. The footage shows the student running toward his classmate in the hallway of their school before he is seen lunging at him and the man quickly retaliates, slamming his rival against a wall.

Fast Fords from the eighties and nineties are currently rising in value like rare art, gold and fine wines - and this one is a pretty special example indeed. The 1996 car is the last Escort RS Cosworth: the final rally-derived road car to come off the assembly line in Germany before production of the Ford family favourite ceased in preparation for the arrival of the Focus hatchback two years later. Technically, it has one owner from new. And not just any normal former keeper but the head of Ford's special vehicles department at the time, Dieter Hahne, who spearheaded the development of the Escort RS Cosworth. The left-hand-drive, German-registered hot-hatch is being offered to the highest bidder in an online auction hosted by Collecting Cars and is expected to reach around £60,000 before the sale closes in a week's time.
