Two contestants have dramatically quit The Voice just hours before the first of the live shows.

Beth Morris and Chloe Castro have both bowed out of the BBC One show today, with Beth citing ‘personal reasons’ and Chloe citing ‘health reasons’, with the first of the live shows due to broadcast from 7pm tonight.

A BBC spokesperson said: ‘Two contestants have left The Voice and will not appear on tonight’s edition or the remaining live shows. These departures are unrelated. Due to health reasons Chloe has withdrawn from the competition. We wish her all the best.’

Chloe, who was on Ricky Wilson’s team, then herself added: ‘I have decided to leave The Voice for health reasons. I have had a fantastic time and wish all the other contestants all the best in the competition.’

Ricky tweeted:

The move will affect this weekend’s live shows as it means two people will leave after Saturday’s show instead of four.

Catch The Voice tonight at 7pm on BBC One.

Meet Rosie Mac – the official body double for Daenerys Targaryen in Game Of Thrones

Meet Rosie Mac – the official body double for Daenerys Targaryen in 

Game Of Thrones

With her long blonde hair, piercing eyes and gorgeous pout, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were looking at Daenerys Targaryen.

But this is actually a picture of Rosie Mac, who has been standing in as a double for Emilia Clarke on the set of Game of Thrones series five.

Mac, 18, hails from Newquay in Cornwall but moved to Marbella, Spain, when she was 10, according to her blog on Vivaworld.

Unsurprisingly, Rosie Mac has lots of fans (Picture: Rosie Mac/ Facebook)

The model has been posting photos from the set of the HBO show, where she stood in as Daenerys’ body double.

Dublin Wives star Virginia Macari, who hired Mac to star in her new bikini campaign, told Sunday World: ‘She was a stand-in on Game of Thrones for Mother of Dragons Daenerys Targaryen. The producers loved her so much that they’ve written a part for her.

‘She is about to become an international star.’

Judging by the picture, we’re inclined to agree.

She’s also a model

The Chase: Bradley Walsh and Shaun Wallace lose it in the funniest outtake since Fanny Schmelar

Duncan Lindsay for Metro.co.ukSunday 6 Mar 2016 11:49 am

It must be a laugh a minute working on the hit quiz show The Chase.

Famed just as much for its hilarious outtakes and scenes of presenter Bradley Walsh corpsing as it is for its general knowledge and tense quizzing showdowns, The Chase has just delivered another moment that may well have toppled Fanny Schmelar from the best video ever podium.

It all started with Chaser Shaun Wallace innocently fluffing his lines as he tried to say hello to the hopeful facing him.

But as both he and Bradders got the attack of the giggles, things plummeted spectacularly, with the colleagues leaving the nervous contestants bemused as they transformed into laughing and bickering schoolboys.

With his Dark Destroyer persona meaning he is never supposed to smile on the show, Shaun is probably the last TV star you’d expect to have to cry out ‘Cut!’ because he is laughing so hard – but this is the proof that he is more human that you’d give him credit for.

Unlike Fanny Schmelar, this brilliant moment didn’t make it into the actual episode – but it is still as glorious as any of the other mishaps that we have seen on the show.

Remind yourself of the Fanny classic here:

Eddie Redmayne

It was rumoured back in April but now it’s been confirmed that Eddie Redmayne has been cast in Harry Potter prequel Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them.

The Oscar-winning actor will play Newt Scamander in the upcoming film project based on J.K. Rowling’s prequel to the famous Harry Potter franchise.

Newt Scamander features in the Harry Potter books as the first-ever magizoologist of the wizarding world and his textbook, Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them, was used by Harry Potter and friends in Hogwarts.

In the film, fans will see him creating this textbook as he explores the world for magical creatures which he can document in the book.

Warner Bros. confirmed the news on their Twitter account and the president of creative development Greg Silverman said: ‘Eddie Redmayne has emerged as one of today’s most extraordinarily talented and acclaimed actors.

‘We are thrilled to welcome him into J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World, where we know he will deliver a remarkable performance as Newt Scamander, the central character in ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.’

With Fantastic Beasts being Rowling’s first venture into screenwriting, David Yates, who directed the last four Harry Potter films, will direct and in a statement he added: ‘Eddie is a fearless actor, brimming with invention, wit and humanity. I couldn’t be more excited about the prospect of working with him as we start this new adventure in J.K. Rowling’s wonderful world, and I know she feels the same way.’

Meanwhile Harry Potter producer David Heyman will also be on board, as will scriptwriter Steve Kloves who scripted all but one of the Harry Potter films. Lionel Wigram also worked on the last four of Rowling’s original franchise and will be Fantastic Beast’s executive producer.

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them is slated for a Nov. 18, 2016, release in 3D and Imax.

Game of Thrones star Nathalie Emmanuel has joined the ever-expanding cast of Fast & Furious 7.

Emmanuel, known for playing Daenerys Targaryen’s aide Missandei on Game of Thrones, has been cast in a role which is being kept under wraps by studio Universal.

However, Deadline reports that her character will be one of the good guys on the no-nonsense driving team led by Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto.

The British actress is the latest name to be added to the James Wan-directed sequel following Kurt Russell’s reported interest in a role.

Variety reports that Russell is apparently circling a part that had first been offered to Denzel Washington.

Meanwhile, Ong Bak star Tony Jaa has been cast in the seventh film, giving the actor his first role in an English-language film.

Jaa said: ‘There is a great mix of humour and action, something I really appreciate. There is no better film to involved in for a first US studio production.’

Fast & Furious 7 rolls out on July 11, 2014.
