As a cast member of Gogglebox it's pretty much a given that you'll weigh in on any subject currently hitting the headlines, so it's no surprise that Scarlett Moffatt was more than happy to give her tuppence-worth on the latest Vernon Kay sexting scandal.

Speaking to Heat magazine, the 26-year-old Geordie admitted that she's definitely not Tess Daly's biggest fan, so she struggles to summon up too much sympathy for the Strictly Come Dancing presenter in light of her recent marital problems.

"There are only two people I really dislike: Tess Daly and Jamie Oliver. They might really dislike me, too, but I’m not arsed, I’m not arsed at all," she said. "But, to be honest, I really like Vernon. I’m on his side a little bit."

In spite of this however, Scarlett realises that the past week would have been far from easy for the TV presenter, but insists the situation could be easily remedied with just one savvy communication trick.

"Yeah, I do feel a but bad for her. I’d not let him have a phone," she revealed. "I’d give him a walkie-talkie and say, 'This is how me and you can correspond with each other, you don’t need to message anyone else'."

Can you imagine? Is that Vernon Kay…on a walkie-talkie?

If you, like us, boast more than a few freckles across your bod, then you may be interested to learn that dating site, Match.com, thinks you fall under the 'imperfect' category when it comes to their standards of beauty.

Outraged? Yeah, you're not alone.

Disgusted by the site's current campaign, the public have taken to Twitter in their droves to slam the ads which feature a woman with red hair, hazel eyes and a beautifully freckled face.

From flicking the middle finger at the ads to accusing the company of 'profiting from bullying', it's safe to say that NO ONE is too happy with their take on 'imperfections'.

Responding to the criticism, Match.com have said: "Our adverts reveal common perceived imperfections and quirks of Brits – these include freckles which some people who have them may see as an imperfection."

"We think freckles are beautiful and our posters are designed to encourage everyone who has them to be proud," they continued. 

"We’re sorry if anyone has been offended by our latest ad – that was not our intention – but we’re really encouraged to see so many people standing-up for what makes them unique."

According to Mashable, the Advertising Standards Authority are assessing the situation and currently deciding whether to take further action.

If you've spent hours daydreaming about the perfect tattoo, but have yet to bite the bullet and actually get inked, then this app may be exactly what you've been looking for.

According to the Daily Mail, InkHunter was the product of a 48-hour hackathon in July 2014, and while it has been available on the app store for almost a year, a new version, which makes it a lot easier for the general public to use, was launched just yesterday.

Created by Oleksandra Rohachova and three co-creators, this free app lets you choose a tattoo from its library or create your own design before seeing how it would look on your own bod.

After tweaking the tat to your taste, you can save the image to your camera roll so you're fully prepared if you DO decide to take the plunge and present the picture to a real-life tattoo artist.

If you're all about the inking, but don't want to appear on E4's Tattoo Fixers any time soon, then it sounds like this could be the perfect solution!

When Kanye West famously interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech during the 2009 MTV VMAs, most of the world knew they were witnessing a moment in music history that wasn't going to be forgotten any time soon.

And now seven years on, Kanye went all out when addressing the fall-out from his decision to storm the stage and steal Tay's limelight.

While performing at the Paradise International Music Festival in the Philippines last weekend, the Life of Pablo rapper told the audience that the moment was 'the beginning of the end of my life'.

Despite this, it doesn't sound like Kim's husband is TOO regretful, saying he only said 'what everyone else was thinking' and then defended his decision to reference the Bad Blood singer on a recent track.

"If I get in trouble for saying the truth, what's being said the rest of the time? And I had to fight every day of my life, with the whole world turned against me, for saying out loud what everyone else felt."

Telling fans that a particular line in Famous which suggests the pair 'might still have sex' had been given the OK from Calvin's bae, Kanye said: "That's the job of an artist, of a true artist: not to be controlled by their finances, not to be controlled by perceptions, but only to be controlled by their truth."

"This is the song that broke the writer's block for me, because it's something I wanted to say so bad that they told me I couldn't say," he added.

Taylor's reps have strenuously denied that the singer had ever given the rapper her approval on the lyric.

If you happen to have brothers, you'll know that they can be cruel, cruel creatures, but your crew have NOTHING on these two lads from the States who managed to convince their heavily-medicated sister that they were in the midst of a zombie apocalypse.

After painful surgery to have her wisdom teeth extracted, Millicent Phillips was being driven home by her older brother who, with the help of other family members, slowly put his elaborate plan into action.

Clearly out of her bin on medication, poor Millicent was forced to decide which pet should make the cut, which weapon should be used against those pesky zombies and which Spanish word would save her in the case of an apocalypse.

Commenting on their prank, Millicent's brother, Cabot, explained why her and his two brothers went for such an elaborate set-up, saying: "The typical wisdom teeth videos are funny but we wanted to do something a little different, and thought the zombie aspect might be a fun twist," 

"We just didn't anticipate how expressive she would be, and how many one-liners she'd produce — even when terrified and in a drug-induced state," he added.

Seriously, it doesn't get any better than this.

One year on from the tragic death of Cork-native, Karen Buckley, former classmates and teachers from Glasgow Caledonian University will gather together to mark the sombre anniversary at a private ceremony in the Scottish city later today.

24-year-old Karen was studying to become an occupational therapist in the university's School of Health and Life Sciences when she was murdered by Alexander Pacteau after a night out with friends in Glasgow's Sanctuary nightclub last April.

The vigil, which will allow classmates, lecturers and university alumni to remember the popular nurse from Mourneabbey in north Cork, will be held at Glasgow Caledonian University.

Commenting on today's ceremony, Linda Sinclair of Scotland’s Radio Clyde said: "The university don’t want to give out too many details. They want it to be a very private service for Karen’s classmates and for the staff. They want to pay their tributes and respect to Karen a year on."

21-year-old Alexander Pacteau is currently serving a life sentence for Karen's murder.

We'll be the first to admit that there are some aspects of modern life which totally baffle us.

Programming the new TV or configuring the settings on our iPhone can have us scratching our head for days, so we GET this granny who seriously struggled to get to grips with one of these new-fangled pregnancy tests.

Clutching the curious little stick in her hands, this adorbs granny looked SO perplexed as she tried to figure out exactly what she was being told by her excited (and hugely patient) daughter and granddaughter.

And THEN the penny drops….

We're starting the day off with some fab baby news because according to numerous sources across the pond, Hollywood star, Megan Fox, is set to become a mum for the third time!

While the star, whose divorce to Brian Austin Green is currently pending, has yet to officially confirm the news herself, there was definitely no hiding the burgeoning baby bump she was sporting at a red carpet event in Las Vegas last night.

Appearing with co-star, Will Arnett, while promoting new movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows, the 29-year-old actress could do little to conceal the sweet baby bump nestling beneath a black Versace dress and short leather jacket.

The star sent the rumour mill into overdrive recently when she was spotted out and about with the former Beverly Hills 90210 star, but whether they're back on has yet to be confirmed by the star's representatives.

The former couple became parents to three-year-old Noah and two-year-old Bodhi after tying the knot in 2010.

Congrats Megan!

OK, so we ALL say things in the heat of the moment, but it looks like Iggy Azalea's latest rant is growing legs online this week.

Addressing claims that her fiancé, Nick Young, has been playing away from home, the Fancy singer told listeners of the Orlando & The Freakshow that her husband-to-be may find himself without a very important part of his anatomy if he doesn't get his act together.

Discussing a video which appeared to show Nick admitting he has cheated on the Australian rapper, Iggy said: "I already said one more video, just one more thing and you will lose a quarter of your meat."

While 25-year-old Iggy acknowledged that some athletes have a bad name when it comes to cheating on their partners, she insists she expects 100% commitment from her man.

"Whatever bro-code is or whatever unspoken code that is, I don’t care because I have an actual spoken commitment that you’re going to get married to me and that involves not doing any of those other things," she explained.

Disgusted by the host's suggestion that the wife of a professional sports star might have to accept extra-marital affairs, Iggy told listeners: "I’m not cool with it… Like you’ll have half a penis."

Clearly, you don't want to mess with Ms. Azalea.
