A brave woman who recorded a confrontation with a man who touched her against her will is going viral.

The awful incident occurred on an Indigo flight to Bhubaneswar in India and as the victim describes: “This man on the seat behind me, put his fingers in the seat gap to touch me!!! I was very shocked for sometime to react. By then the flight went to landing mode. Then the moment flight touched down, I got up. Saw his hand was again on the side ready to take up any opportunity to touch me!!!”

The woman then confronts the man, videoing him all the while and asks him to tell her why he feels it is ok for him to touch her in any way. Deservedly ashamed, the man turns his head away and tries to hide.

The victim also described how the man is currently in police custody and that airline staff and the police officer involved were very helpful to her.

The video has now gone viral and will hopefully encourage many other women to stand up for themselves in terrifying situations such as this.

It's baaaaack! This time, it is jam-packed full of stars so we are in for a treat!

From Britney, Katy Perry, 5 SOS, Lady Gaga and Sia to Ed Sheeran, Jessie J and Ariana Grande, every big music name you've heard is here – and they're all reading mean tweets about themselves! 

It sounds as if being famous means you need a very thick skin indeed – we're not sure how we would handle these comments being made about us! Thankfully, everyone takes it quite well; Ariana can't stop laughing at hers while Sia uses a prop to demonstrate how she feels about her mean tweet…

Poor Ed though…don't listen to them, we love you!

This is some seriously internet-winning stuff!

Will Ferrell appeared on a Jimmy Fallon special after last night's Superbowl where he competed in an EPIC lip-sync battle against Kevin Hart and Jimmy himself.

Kevin and Jimmy tried their best with their covers of John Legend's All Of Me and Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone, but Will was the winner by a long shot with his rendition of Beyoncé's Drunk In Love.

Queen W, we salute you!

Us Irish folks are not exactly smooth movers, and this hilarious Valentine's Day prank shows just how tongue-tied we can get!

Retailer Lidl sent a stunning model onto the streets of Dublin to ask for advice about the "Valentine's gift" she had bought for her boyfriend. A gift that just happened to be of the suspenders-and-stockings variety….

True to form, the poor lads just couldn't cope with the awkwardness!

Hilarious.

Over the last few months, American TV has been flooded with ads and ads of dutiful women feeding their men snacks during the Super Bowl.

As men sit back and watch the game with their friends, drinking beers and eating 'chips' – the female in the frame provides the food.

Now, Saturday Night Live have done what they do best and spoofed those adverts brilliantly. As her 'hungry guys' watch the big game, the wife in the ad sits in the kitchen with a Super Bowl activity pack to 'keep her mind active' until her hungry guys are hungry again…

Brilliant!

If you thought on-stage drama at a beauty pageant was only something that happened on movies and TV shows, you are very much mistaken!

Indeed, it seems that someone had a serious case of the green-eyed monster at a recent Brazilian beauty contest.

When Carolina Toledo was announced as the winner, disappointed runner-up Sheislane Hayalla put on her gracious loser face and shook the girl’s hand, before turning away to hide her upset.

However, just as Carolina was being crowned, Sheislane is seen bursting to the front of the stage and, well, you can watch what happens next in the video.

We are so glad someone in the crowd was able to capture this, the very definition of sour grapes!

Thunder buddies are forever!

We've been getting excited for Ted 2 ever since we heard news of a sequel, and the official trailer is finally here. Mark Wahlberg is reunited with his R-rated best pal in the follow up to the hit 2012 comedy, which will be released this June.

New mum Mila Kunis sadly won't appear as John's wife Lori, so we can only assume it's all over between them… but there's a new love interest in the form of Amanda Seyfried, who plays the lawyer tasked with proving that Ted is in fact a real person with human rights just like the rest of us.

Sequels to hit movies always run the risk of being a disappointment, but we definitely got a few laughs out of this trailer so that can only be a positive sign! Plus, any film with a Morgan Freeman cameo gets our vote.

The next episode of Gay Byrne's RTÉ One series The Meaning Of Life airs this Sunday, and if this clip is anything to go by, it's going to be pretty intense.

Former Late Late Show host Gay will chat to Stephen Fry about his career, his passions and his recent marriage in the full-length episode, but the most mind-blowing part has to be this short preview, in which Stephen discusses his views on religion.

When asked by Gay what he might say if he did "walk up to the pearly gates" to meet God, the openly atheist Stephen gives a powerful and beautifully worded response.

This is well worth a watch, if only for Gay's hilarious "I have NO idea what to say" face:

We'll definitely be tuning in on Sunday.
