Piers Morgan slams Khloe Kardashian for 'blowing scam' after leaked unedited photo

Piers Morgan has taken aim at the entire Kardashian clan, with Good American entrepreneur Khloe Kardashian first in the firing line.

The former Good Morning Britain star, 56, has accused the mum-of-one, 36, of blowing the family's "scam" after her unedited picture was leaked online.

Over the weekend, a picture of Khloe in a bikini was shared online without her authorisation, only for her team to request the image be removed.

Depicting Khloe in a leopard print bikini by the poolside, the reality star looked naturally radiant in the unedited snapshot.

In his latest column for MailOnline, Piers suggested the sharing of the candid image would have "horrified" Khloe, claiming her other images have been heavily edited.

"The photo of Khloé Kardashian in a leopard print bikini that's gone viral this week is truly jaw-dropping," he wrote.

"Because it's real. No filters, no airbrushing, little make-up, hair scraped back in a ponytail - just a picture of how Ms Kardashian actually looks."

Piers then went to compare the image to the other bikini photos shared on her social media, saying "her waistline is significantly less defined, her curves less dramatic and her skin not so impossibly smooth".

The broadcaster suggested the picture was "refreshingly normal" compared to her other bikini photos, which he claimed were "substantially worked on".

"With one carelessly released genuine photo, the scam's been blown," Piers added.

Khloe's team requested the picture be taken down after it was posted online, explaining it had been shared with the public "unlawfully".

Khloe's grandmother MJ Shannon had taken the picture during a private family gathering.

We didn’t detain or torture Buhari’s late official driver – DSS

The Department of State Services (DSS) has denied it tortured Sa’idu Afaka, the President’s official driver to death.

Public Relations Officer, Department of State Services, National Headquarters, Dr Peter Afunanya, said this in a statement late Wednesday evening.

It reads: “The Department of State Services (DSS) denies the misleading news by saharareporters that it tortured Sa’idu Afaka, the President’s official driver to death.

“While the said driver was never arrested or detained by the Service, it is a known fact that it does not torture suspects.

“Itss suspect handling method is usually in compliance with the tenets of criminal justice administration system and democracy.

“It may be recalled that the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media and Publicity, Mallam Garba Shehu, had on 6th April, 2021 announced the passing of Afaka after a prolonged illness as well as the condolences of the President to his family.

“The public should, therefore, disregard the fake news spewed by the online platform.”

Prince William ‘auditioned’ Kate Middleton to be his wife and working royal

Prince William 'auditioned' Kate Middleton before asking her to marry him, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke reportedly wanted to make sure she'd be a right fit for the Royal Family and be prepared for the highs and lows of royal life.

Before the pair married in April 2011, William had known Kate for almost 10 years after they met as students at St Andrews.

Royal expert Robert Lacey claimed he felt he had to 'audition' his wife before he proposed while appearing on The Day Will and Kate Got Married on ITV.

He said he was 'auditioning' her for her future role as Duchess.

He explained: "It's been said that William was auditioning Catherine for her future role.

"And I think there's a truth to that. William is the future King of Britain and the Commonwealth and, like it or not, part of his job was to choose a consort who would do the job well."

After the couple dating for four years, they briefly split up in 2007, which royal expert Katie Nicholls says the prince initiated.

"It was William who instigated that split," she said. "Kate wanted a sense of commitment and at that point in time, William wasn't able to give it to her."

Mr Lacey also claimed in his 2020 book, the Battle of Brothers, that Prince William dumped Kate over the phone while she was working as an accessories buyer for Jigsaw.

However, they got back together after a couple of months.

The Queen is reported to have advised Kate to get involved with charities and the Duchess started working for Starlight, which works with terminally ill children.

Addressing their break-up in their 2010 engagement interview, William said: "We were sort of both finding ourselves as such and being different characters and stuff, it was very much trying to find our own way and we were growing up."

Additionally, Kate Middleton said it was difficult not to be "consumed" by the relationship at first.

Giving insight into how she dealt with the split, she added: "At the time, I wasn't very happy about it but actually it made me a stronger person.

"You find out things about yourself that maybe you hadn't realised, or I think you can get quite consumed by a relationship when you are younger and I really valued that time for me as well although I didn't think it at the time. Looking back on it."

Covid rule-breaker DIES after Philippines police 'made him do 300 squats as punishment'

A Filipino man has died after allegedly being forced to do 300 squat thrusts by police as punishment for breaking Covid rules in his home country.

Darren Manaog Penaredondo, 28, died in General Trias city, on the outskirts of the capital Manila, on April 3 - two days after he was caught by police buying a bottle of water from a local shop after the 6pm curfew. 

Partner Reichelyn Balce said he and a group of other curfew-breakers were forced to do 100 squat thrusts - but had to repeat the exercise if they failed to do it in unison.

By the time Mr Penaredondo arrived home the following morning, Ms Blace said he had performed 300 of the exercises and was barely able to walk. 

'When he came home on Friday, around 8am, he was assisted by a fellow quarantine violator who was arrested with him,' Ms Balce told local news site Rappler.

'I asked if he was beaten up. He just smiled but it was obvious he was in pain.'

Ms Blace said he was unable to stand for the rest of the day, and was crawling across the floor because his legs and knees hurt so much.

Then, while trying to use the bathroom, Mr Penaredondo began suffering seizures and had to be revived by a neighbour using CPR.

He regained consciousness for a short time afterwards, but eventually passed away around 10pm without ever reaching hospital.

Cousin Adrian Lucena announced the death on Facebook, writing: 'We love you so much. We will not allow those responsible to escape justice. 

'Sorry I can't go home because of these times. I love you so much.'

Rodolfo Cruz Jr, head of local village guard units, confirmed that Mr Penaredondo was arrested for breaching curfew on the night of April 1 - but said he was handed over to municipal police shortly afterwards.

Lieutenant Colonel Marlo Solero, head of the local police force, denied that squats are used as a punishment for curfew violators and said officers are supposed to give lectures to rule-breakers.

If police are found to have ordered Mr Penaredondo to do squats then it will not be tolerated, he added.

Mayor Ony Ferrer released a statement on Facebook as news of the death spread, pledging to carry out a full investigation.

'We want to know what really happened for the family’s sake,' he said. 

He added that he had been in contact with Mr Penaredondo's family to offer his condolences.

It comes as Rodrigo Duterte extended a lockdown by another week after an alarming spike in coronavirus infections in the Philippines.

Prince William should be next monarch and not Prince Charles, public poll says

Prince William would skip the queue as heir to the throne if the public had their way, according to a new poll.

When the Queen’s reign ends, Brits would rather see her grandson step in than 72-year-old son Prince Charles, Deltapoll found.

Adults below 24-years-old would even have Prince Harry as king before his father and older brother.

The Duke of Cambridge took 47% of the public vote in being next in line to wearing the crown, compared to 27% of respondents who want to see tradition continue with the Queen's eldest child.

The results are a huge blow to Prince Charles' ­popularity after great strides were made to improve his public image over the past two decades.

Although more than half – 51% – believe Harry, 36, along with wife Meghan, 39, have damaged the ­reputation of the monarchy.

Pollsters Deltapoll interviewed 1,590 adults between March 31 and April 1.

The data, weighted to be representative of the British adult population as a whole, will come as a shock to the royal family, who launched a PR drive after Charles’s divorce in 1996 from ­Princess Diana and their handling of her tragic death in 1997.

Just over 40% believe the monarch, who turns 95 on April 21, should remain in her ­position until she dies.

A fifth believe she should abdicate if in good health compared to 27% declaring Britain’s longest-serving monarch should choose to abdicate if her health fails.

If given the choice on who should succeed her, William, 38, still comes out on top with Charles, 72, a strong second.

For millennials – those aged 25 to 40 –nearly twice as many people favour Harry taking over compared to Charles.

Among 18 to 24 year olds Harry is the most popular choice, beating William 23% to 22%.

Astonishingly more people would like to see scandal-hit Prince Andrew on the throne before his younger brother Edward.

Actress Tayo Sobola reveals why she married her boyfriend of 7 years secretly

Nollywood actress, Tayo Sobola, has revealed reasons why she decided to get married secretly.

The actress shocked her fans a few months ago when she posted pictures of her wearing a wedding dress on her verified Instagram account.

While some congratulated her and wished her marital bliss, some others believed that the pictures were for a movie project she was working on.

However, in a chat with The Punch, the actress confirmed that she was truly married and that she had known her husband for over seven years.

She said, “I am married. My husband is not in the movie industry. I have been married for a while. I had known my husband for about seven years before we got married. If you know me, you will know that I am the kind of person that loves my personal life. I have been with my husband for seven years.

“I read some blog’s posts and laugh; they should feel free to tag anybody. I love keeping my personal life private; that is why I decided to marry secretly. I did not get married this year; I only just posted the pictures some months ago.”

The screen goddess, who is also a fashion entrepreneur, admitted that she had not featured in a lot of movies recently because she was focusing on her clothing line ― Clean Stitches ― which recently opened a branch in Abuja.

She said, “There is time for everything and I want to believe that whatever you want to do, you create the time for it. For me, some people send me messages saying that they have not been seeing me in movies like they used to; sometimes you leave work to pursue money. There are times that I choose a time to do movies and whoever calls me at that time, if I am free, I will shoot about two or three movies.

“There are other times that I can not do movies. Trust me, this clothing business takes time, except you just don’t have that vision. I recently opened a branch in Abuja where I have a house because I have a lot of customers there. Right now, I am more into my business ― making and selling clothes.

“I have the face already. If I leave the movie industry for a while to do my business, I will return and no one will notice that I was gone. I have plenty of films that are not out yet. So, when I am busy doing some other things, those ones will come out. That is how I try to balance them. It is when I have time that I shoot movies,” Sotayo stated.

Victoria Beckham 'worried' Brooklyn's romance with Nicola Peltz 'won't last'

Victoria Beckham is said to have voiced her concerns about her son Brooklyn's romance with Nicola Peltz.

The former Spice Girls singer, 46, reportedly wants the young couple to tone down their PDAs on social media, with the duo becoming known for their gushing declarations of love on Instagram.

Brooklyn, 22, and Nicola, 26, got engaged after just nine months of dating, and Victoria is worried that things have moved too fast, it's claimed.

A source told Heat magazine : "If they keep going like this, Vic is worried that Brooklyn and Nicola could be in burnout mode by the time they get married. 

"Of course she thinks all their PDAs are cute, but they are very intense, and she's worried that they are sharing far too much of their relationship and going overboard with the grand romantic gestures."

Ink-lover Brooklyn has had several tattoos done in tribute to Nicola.

And the couple left their fans baffled when they got necklaces made of each other's wisdom teeth. 

The backlash is said to have worried Victoria, who believes they should "rein it in a bit", though she loves Nicola.

The source added: "She's warned him that this honeymoon period won't last.

"She's also worried that Brooklyn is throwing everything into this relationship, and could struggle to cope if things went wrong, so he needs a back-up plan."

May/June 2021 exams unlikely to hold: WAEC

The West African Examinations Council (WAEC) says its 2021 West African Senior School Certificate Examination (WASSCE) for school candidates, earlier scheduled for May/June, may not hold.

The Council’s Head of National Office (HNO), Patrick Areghan, gave the hint while announcing the release of results of the 2021 first series of the WASSCE for private candidates on Tuesday in Lagos.

According to Mr Areghan, the effect of the coronavirus pandemic is still much felt in the education sector.

He noted that the entire education calendar has been distorted and, therefore, may not be possible to conduct the examination as scheduled.

He stated that a convenient international time table for the conduct of the examination will soon be released.

He then appealed to all the school principals and proprietors to keep to the stipulated timelines for the enrolment of candidates for the examination.

According to him, it is important to re-emphasise the role of Continuous Assessment Scores (CASS) in the computation of candidates’ results.

“All schools are advised to get this aspect of the registration process right, in order to make the entry processes seamless.”
