The contestants of the jungle show traditionally face a public vote to decide which of them will face a grisly task to earn meals for camp, but on Saturday night, 23 November, both the ordinary camp and the Jungle Junkyard will take part. Host Ant McPartlin ramped up the excitement at the end of Friday's episode, teasing: "How exciting, I bet they can't wait to come face to face with Richard, Maura, and Dean. Let's see how they react when the secret of The Junkyard comes out!" It was confirmed on the series' new spin-off show, I'm A Celebrity..Unpacked, that the trial will be an eating challenge. I’m A Celeb fans will welcome the return of the eating challenge as many have taken to social media wondering why a proper eating trial hasn’t happened yet. “We’ve now had 4 trials and none of them have been an eating trial, just seems kinda strange as there is usually one in the first 4 or so,” said one viewer. "Has it only been like 4 days, and it started with a gross milkshake," wrote another, referring to the drinks that some of the celebrities had to gulp down before joining the race to the camp during the first episode. Love Island alum Maura Higgins and Rev Richard Coles have been secretly living in luxury in their camp, the Jungle Junkyard, since their late arrival. However, the rest of the camp think they are roughing it and have given them some of their food, and even one of their beds. Radio DJ Dean McCullough got clued in on the real conditions of the Jungle Junkyard after being invited to join the luxury hideaway during Friday's show after his trial with Danny Jones. However, the others are starting to sniff out the truth. Coleen Rooney, after delivering some grub to her fellow stars in the second camp, couldn't help but get suspicious. After returning to main camp, she said: "Dean had the same face on as Maura had on yesterday. I thought he just thought he looked more content than I thought he would be with the junkyard environment. They were hiding something from us." TikTok sensation and Loose Women regular, GK Barry, is also on a mission to "get to the bottom" of the mysterious happenings. After Coleen aired her suspicions, GK said: "She noticed some weird changes in The Junkyard, we are gonna get to the bottom of this because I don't like being lied to. I am not a mug!"

Senator Mitt Romney , a Utah Republican and a vocal critic of Donald Trump , praised the president-elect's second nomination for U.S. attorney general on Friday. Romney, the sole Republican senator to vote twice to impeach Trump during his first presidency, congratulated Pam Bondi in a Friday post on X, formerly Twitter , calling her a "highly capable leader" for the Department of Justice (DOJ). "She served with excellence as Florida's Attorney General," the senator said. The announcement of Bondi, who served as Florida's attorney general from 2011 to 2019, as the next U.S. attorney general came hours after former Representative Matt Gaetz , a Florida Republican, announced he was withdrawing his name from consideration for the post on Thursday. Both picks are from Florida where Trump now calls home after leaving New York. Bondi is a longtime Trump ally, having served as one of his defense attorneys during his first impeachment trial. The Senate later acquitted Trump of charges accusing him of soliciting foreign interference in the 2020 election by withholding military aid from Ukraine to pressure the country into investigating Trump's political opponent, President Joe Biden . The president-elect announced Gaetz to lead the DOJ last week, and since then has drawn scrutiny from Democrats and some Republicans . Up until last Wednesday, Gaetz represented Florida's 1st Congressional District in the U.S. House, but upon his attorney general nomination, he resigned from his position. Gaetz's nomination raised eyebrows as he was the subject of a House Ethics Committee investigation over allegations that he "engaged in sexual misconduct and illicit drug use" and was part of a scheme that led to the sex trafficking of a 17-year-old girl. He has denied any wrongdoing. On Thursday, Gaetz wrote on X that he had met with senators and "while the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition." Gaetz required Senate confirmation to be put in the post. Trump posted on Truth Social, his social media platform, that he appreciated "the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz." Bondi's relationship with Romney dates back to at least 2012 when she endorsed his presidential campaign. She also spoke at the 2012 Republican National Convention (RNC) in support of him when he was the GOP's presidential nominee. Trump endorsed Romney's 2012 presidential run, but Romney lost to incumbent President Barack Obama . Newsweek contacted Romney's press team for comment via email on Friday evening. Newsweek has reached out to Bondi for comment through the America First Policy Institute. Romney has broken with the Republican Party several times, most notably during Trump's impeachments. In October, he told students at the University of Utah, "I've made it very clear that I don't want Donald Trump to be the next President of the United States," according to The Salt Lake Tribune . Romney did not endorse the Democratic nominee, Vice President Kamala Harris . Later at the same event, Romney warned of disinformation, both from external parties and from Trump. "He just makes it up, and he is able to spew enough disinformation that the Chinese must be smiling," Romney said in reference to various Trump claims on the campaign trail including the unsubstantiated claim that Haitian migrants were eating pets in Springfield, Ohio .

NoneRuben Amorim impressed with Arsenal’s corners after first defeat as Man Utd bossORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) — In a season that began with many questions and lowered expectations , it was apt watching Bills quarterback Josh Allen join coach Sean McDermott lay on the cold, wet sideline to make snow angels in celebrating Buffalo’s earliest clinching of a division title in team history. That Allen took part was no surprise. The newly engaged 28-year-old has maintained the happy-go-lucky approach he brought with him to Buffalo as a raw-talented athlete in 2018, while gradually blossoming into one of the NFL’s elite quarterbacks. For McDermott, it was a pleasant surprise to see the usually reserved eight-year coach finally let his hair down — figuratively, because the few jokes he does make are usually about being bald. With his latest do-it-all three-TD outing — one rushing, one receiving and, the coup de grace, being credited with receiving his own pass for a score off a lateral from Amari Cooper — in a 35-10 win over San Francisco on Sunday night , Allen continued making his strongest NFL MVP case. What’s also becoming apparent is how much McDermott deserves consideration for coach of the year honors. Without the two, the Bills (10-2) wouldn’t be in this position in becoming just the eighth NFL team — and first since Indianapolis in 2009 — to clinch a division title with at least five games remaining in their schedule. It’s reflective of how the two have grown together in what, on the outside, could be perceived as an odd couple relationship between an offensive-minded, swashbuckling quarterback and a defensive-minded coach, too often knocked for being too conservative. Perhaps, it’s Allen’s boyish nature that has brought out the risk-taker in McDermott, who has carried over the aggressive approach he takes to defense by placing trust in his quarterback. It’s become apparent in everything the Bills have accomplished so far in having at least 10 wins through 12 games for just the fifth time in team history, and first since 1991, when Buffalo was led by eventual Hall of Famers in coach Marv Levy and quarterback Jim Kelly. Buffalo has won seven straight since consecutive losses to Baltimore and Houston. And the Bills have scored 30 or more points in six straight outings, matching the team record set in 2004. Allen is doing more with less on an offense that was supposed to be hampered following the offseason departures of receivers Stefon Diggs and Gabe Davis and center Mitch Morse. The Bills are more balanced in leaning on their running attack, while Allen has also curtailed his turnover-prone ways. He's lost two fumbles and thrown just five interceptions after being picked off a career-worst 18 times last season. Meantime, McDermott has taken a different approach to fourth down situations. The Bills have converted 13 of 15 fourth down attempts after going 9 of 16 last season and 7 of 13 in 2022. The most fourth down attempts during McDermott’s tenure came in 2021, when Buffalo converted just 11 of 22. This is but an example of the bond the quarterback and coach have built in a shared objective of overcoming past playoff failures. Clinching a division title is but one step, with the Bills now focused on catching the Kansas City Chiefs (11-1), whom they’ve beaten already , for the AFC’s top seed. In calling it the team’s next goal, McDermott went off script from his usual game-at-a-time message by noting the importance of celebrating a division-clinching win, if only for one day. “Being 50 years old and 20-plus years in this league, I’ve learned to try and enjoy the moments,” McDermott said. “And this is a moment, right?” It certainly was. Turnover differential. Buffalo’s defense forced three fumbles, including one at its goal line, while the offense didn’t commit a giveaway. The Bills upped their league-leading turnover differential entering Monday to plus-17. Run defense. Though the conditions were snowy and slick, the Bills allowed 119 yards rushing in the first half before the 49ers were forced to start passing the ball once the score became lopsided. Buffalo particularly struggled in stopping Christian McCaffrey, who had 53 yards on seven carries before leaving the game with a potential season-ending knee injury . LB Matt Milano was in on five tackles while playing 37 of 48 defensive snaps in his first outing in nearly 14 months after being sidelined by a broken right leg and torn left biceps. CB Kaiir Elam, the 2022 first-round pick was a healthy inactive for a second straight outing, and still having difficulty finding a regular role. None reported. 9-0 — The Bills' home record going back to last season, marking their second-longest run in team history. Hit the road for two outings, starting with a trip to face the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/nfl
