Emily Bett Rickards Open to Arrow Revival: ‘I’d Do It for Felicity’ After Character Got ‘Lost’ in Later Seasons
Emily Bett Rickards — who almost exactly six years ago shocked Arrow fans (and forced me to bail on a movie screening) by announcing her exit ahead of the superhero drama’s final season — says she “probably” would be open to any TV-movie or limited revival, if only to give Felicity Smoak “her flowers.” During […]

Is Bruno Fernandes really the only viable Manchester United player ahead of back-to-back double Gameweeks?
MANCHESTER UNITED have been a one-man team for much of the season.
This description is certainly fair in the realm of Dream Team, where Bruno Fernandes (£7m) is 125 points ahead of his closest team-mate.
The Portugal international has been on a roll of late having amassed 101 points from his last seven outings!
As a result, Fernandes has become the game’s leading midfielder by a wide margin with only superstar forwards Mohamed Salah (£7.7m) and Erling Haaland (£7.8m) above him in the overall rankings.
Any Dream Team manager worth their salt would have recognised the 30 year-old playmaker as an excellent option and he’s currently the third-most selected asset in his position.
Fernandes seems well placed to deliver further returns in the coming weeks.
The Red Devils travel to Nottingham Forest this evening and will then be one of just five teams to fulfil four fixtures across Gameweeks 30 and 31: Manchester City (h), Lyon (a), Newcastle (a), Lyon (h).
It’s not a favourable set of games by any means but the fact Ruben Amorim’s side remain active in Europe means they have more point-scoring opportunities than the vast majority of teams this month.
And so the question must be asked: is Fernandes really the only viable Man United player at this moment in time?
The next-best performer in the squad is Alejandro Garnacho (£3.4m) with 220 points to his name.
All things considered, that’s a good return from the Argentine winger, one that puts him 12th among midfielders at the time of writing.
However, the 20-year-old can be a frustrating asset to own at times.
Garnacho ranks first in his position for shots on target but just 14th for goals, evidence of inefficiency in front of goal.
In terms of playmaking, the opposite is true as he ranks joint-fourth for assists among midfielders but just joint-35th for big chances created, suggesting his team-mates really have made the most of his relatively limited creative output.
Garnacho is a curious player for sure, one who occasionally leaves points unclaimed, but it’s simply a fact that he returned 32 points in four appearances just prior to the international break.
This fruitful run featured a goal and three assists.
Fernandes is undoubtedly the best attack-minded option in Man United’s ranks but doubling up is a viable strategy for the next two Gameweeks at least and Garnacho seems to be best accomplice for such an approach.
It may surprise some Dream Team bosses to learn that Diogo Dalot (£3.4m) is among the top ten defenders in the game.
Despite Man United’s problems as a collective this season, the Portuguese wing-back has contributed seven goal involvements on top of ten clean sheets – he ranks highly for tackles too.
Not as highly as Noussair Mazraoui (£3.2m) though, who has racked up 131 tackles in all competitions – the highest tally among all players.
The Morocco international is just three points shy of Dalot overall.
Then there’s Andre Onana (£3.4m), who ranks third among goalkeepers despite the fact he’s conceded a whopping 52 goals in all competitions this season.
The former Inter custodian has made 107 saves, a total only bettered by Mark Flekken (£3.4m) and Emi Martinez (£3.9m).
It’s understandable if gaffers feel reluctant to back Man United’s defensive assets with Man City, Lyon (x2) and Newcastle in the diary but the Stats Centre suggest Dalot, Mazraoui and Onana are worthy of consideration.
Things might get really interesting if Fernandes and company progress to last four of the Europa League, especially if the other English clubs still active in Europe are eliminated at the quarter-final stage.

Asda shoppers are filling their trolleys with 55p perfume dupe that smells just like £95 designer scent
ASDA shoppers are filling their trolleys with a 55p perfume dupe that smells just like a £95 designer scent.
Both brands encompass base notes of vanilla, sandalwood and heart notes of jasmine.
Asda shoppers are going wild for the new Bespoke Woman Jasmine and Chocolate berries 140ml perfume mist.
Its top notes consist of mandarin, bergamot and pink pepper, while its base notes combine vanilla, sandalwood and tonka bean.
Sandwiched between these soft smells are heart notes of jasmine, red berries and a hint of chocolate.
Funnily enough, Guerlain’s Samsara Eau de Parfum Spray, boasts base notes of vanilla and tonka bean with a radiant balance of jasmine and sandalwood.
However, it’s being sold by The Perfume Shop for £94.99 per 75ml bottle.
Samsara’s top notes consist of honeysuckle notes with sandalwood, iris, vanilla and tonka beans residing at its base.
Meanwhile its heart notes combine jasmine with ylang ylang flowers.
Despite being so similar, Samsara is 173 times more expensive than Asda’s Bespoke.
Superdrug also happens to be selling the Bespoke at £6.99 per 140ml bottle.
It describes the fragrance as “juicy and vivacious” and 100 per cent of its respondents would recommend this product to a friend.
However, we have one person to thank in particular for sharing this deal with us.
They also referenced the Asda store they bought the product from; Rugby in Warwickshire.
Posting to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK Facebook group the person wrote: “Was 55p per bottle in Asda Rugby.
“Was lots left on shelf, not sure on original price! Smells lovely.”
Hundreds of fans have since liked the post, with dozens jumping to the comment section.
One person questioned its similarity to Hugo Boss Red, but this was swiftly shut down by another fan.
They wrote: “Have you ever smelt Samsara? It smells quite like that one.
“Nice, warm fragrance, bit of spice to it.”
Meanwhile another shopper shared the original price of the product.
They said: “Originally it was £10. Really lovely fragrances, I’ve got them all. Even got some of the men’s. Great bargain, well done.”
Followed by a second: “Love that smell.”
To which another person replied: “It’s sooo nice, I’m going back tomorrow to grab a couple more if there’s any.
“First time smelling it today.”
HUGE US pop star set to sign for Celebrity Big Brother ahead of launch next week
AMERICAN singer JoJo Siwa is set to join the Celebrity Big Brother line-up.
The Nebraska-born star rose to fame on reality TV show Dance Moms and went on to dent the US pop charts but is now hoping to make it big in the UK.
She’s already known for her out-there costumes and is a vocal member of the LGBTQ+ community, having dated both men and women.
Now she’s set to shake up the spy house when the series launches on Monday.
A TV source said: “JoJo is a big name among the highly-coveted younger audience and brings with her a big US fan base.
“She’s one of those names that regular ITV viewers might not know – but certainly will do by the end of the ITV series.
“Everyone is excited and hope to get the deal over the line.”
JoJo, 21, starred in just two series of Dance Moms alongside tough teacher Abby Lee Miller.
Her profile continued to rise and two years later she signed a deal with children’s TV channel Nickelodeon.
JoJo has also starred in her very own movie – titled The J Team – which was released in 2021.
She also fronted her own singing and dancing series called Siwas Dance Pop Revolution.
Last year, JoJo left her fans stunned as she posed for her most racy magazine shoot yet.
The Nebraska-born star stripped to a gold diamante-studded plate designed in the style of a male torso for the controversial images on the front of LadyGunn.
The outfit came with a shimmering thong – complete with phallic detail – which she held in her hand for a sultry snap.
JoJo rounded off her outfit with gold boots, squatting to the floor for her front-page pose as many branded the shoot “too far”.
The Sun recently reported how Corrie star Jack P Shepherd had signed up to star in Celebrity Big Brother.
Previously, we told how EastEnders star James Bye had also been lined up.
Other celebs lined up for the new series, starting on Monday, include soap star Patsy Palmer pop singer Chesney Hawkes and politician Michael Fabricant.
Who has won Celebrity Big Brother?
THE first Celebrity Big Brother aired in March 2001 on Channel 4.
Roll on 23 years and a switch to Channel 5 in 2011, CBB is now into its 23rd season and is being hosted for the first time by ITV.
Here’s who has won the coveted title so far:
Season 1 (2001): Comedian Jack Dee beat actress Claire Sweeney despite walking out of the house and evading security for about an hour. The series was also more memorable for Vanessa Feltz telling Big Brother to “f*** off” after chalking “incarcerated”, “ambushed” and “restricted” on the table.
Season 2 (2002): Take That favourite Mark Owen triumphed over TV host Les Dennis. The latter won over the sympathy of the audience after his marriage breakdown with his wife Amanda Holden.
Season 3 (2005): Maraca shaking Bez walked out the winner ahead of Blazin’ Squad‘s Kenzie. The Happy Mondays star scooped the £50,000 and went on a 10-hour bender, blowing the cash.
Season 4 (2006): This was the season when Big Brother mixed things up – by sending in a non-celebrity from the fictional band Kandy Floss. However, Chantelle Houghton won over viewers and housemates alike and was crowned the winner. During her time in the house she found love with Ordinary Boys singer Preston. There was also added drama when George Galloway pretended to be Rula Lenska‘s pet cat.
Season 5 (2007): Actress Shilpa Shetty won after being caught up in a racism bullying row with former BB contestant Jade Goody, model Danielle Lloyd, and S Club’s Jo O’Meara.
Season 6 (2009): Ulrika Jonsson beat Terry Christian, but controversy came in the form of rapper Coolio who was slammed by viewers as misogynistic, however, he finished in third spot.
Season 7 (2010): Alex Reid beat Dane Bowers and Vinnie Jones with a huge 65% of the vote. Alex married Katie Price one month later.
Season 8 (2011): In the first series to air on Channel 5, Big Fat Gypsy Wedding star Paddy Doherty was the unexpected winner, beating singer Kerry Katona.
Season 9 (2012): Loose Women star Denise Welch triumphed over X Factor contestant Frankie Cocozza, after stripping off while drunk and jumping into the hot tub topless.
Season 10 (2012): Comedian Julian Clary got the nod in the vote over Coleen Nolan.
Season 11 (2013): The X Factor’s Rylan Clark beat couple Heidi Montag
& Spencer Pratt, who was competing as “one entity” and known as Speidi.
Season 12 (2013): Geordie Shore star Charlotte Crosby beat 5ive singer Abz Love
Season 13 (2014): Jim Davidson won after a blazing row with Linda Nolan. N-dubz Dappy took the second spot.
Season 14 (2014): Gary Busey – who chose to roam around the CBB house naked – beatboxer Audley Harrison.
Season 15 (2015): Katie Price won the battle of the Katies as she saw off controversial Katie Hopkins in the final. The biggest talking point was American blogger Perez Hilton‘s raging row with Calum Best, but the series also saw two early ejections of Jeremy Jackson and Ken Morley.
Season 16 (2015): Apprentice star James Hill beat model Austin Armacost. Tila Tequila was evicted on just the second day after she was found to have posted support for Adolf Hitler on social media.
Season 17 (2016): Geordie Shore’s Scotty T won after sharing a kiss with fellow housemate Tiffany Pollard. Stephanie Davis was runner-up.
Season 18 (2016): Stephen Bear won the show despite a huge row with radio star James Whale. Ricky Norwood placed second but this season saw Christopher Biggins ejected from the house after making an anti-Semitic joke.
Season 19 (2017): Coleen Nolan entered the CBB house for a second time – and this time came out the winner beating Jedward. During her second stint, she had a massive showdown with horse star John McCririck.
Season 20 (2017): It was the battle of the reality show singers in the final, with Popstars: The Rivals winner and Girls Aloud star Sarah Harding beating The X Factor’s Amelia Lily.
Season 21 (2018): Courtney Act, otherwise known as Shane Jenek, won with politician Ann Widdecombe as runner-up.
Season 22 (2018): Winning Dancing On Ice in 2024, was not Ryan Thomas‘s first reality show title. He won the CBB title in 2018, after a shocking “run-in” with Emmerdale actress Roxanne Pallet, who falsely accused him of punching her. Actress Kirstie Alley came second.

CAT Deeley is renowned for showing up in style when it comes to putting together TV looks.
And the Birmingham beauty did it again as she has left fans drooling over her latest trendy outfit – and you can purchase it from a popular high street store.
Cat stepped out in style on This Morning alongside her usual co-host Ben Shephard today for another episode of chat, cooking and fashion.

And while it may be on the pricier side – the frock can be worn for many stunning summer and spring evenings and occasions.
Always able to elevate a look, Cat popped on a pair of black leather ankle boots.
Of course, Cat had her luscious golden locks styled to perfection and wore a shimmery gold make-up look.
Never one to wear much jewellery, the TV star kept it simple with a cool gold ball chain.
The mum-of-two posed in the sensational look on Instagram as she shared some outfit details with fans.
And that’s not the only outstanding look the stylish host has been rocking recently.
Last week, Cat was a vision as she sported a beautiful one-shoulder caramel-coloured knit top from M&S and a pair of cream linen trousers from Boden.
The breezy knit had a single long sleeve with a slouchy style and a flattering horizontal neckline.
This knitted top is the perfect style choice for day or nighttime outfits and would look beautiful with blue denim jeans.
The gorgeous knit is the star of M&S’ new spring/summer campaign and it’s so popular it’s selling out, fast.
The One Shoulder Slim Fit Textured Knitted Top is the perfect mix of sexy yet chic.
Priced at just €42, fashion lovers have sold out the top in multiple sizes already.
So ladies if you like what you see, run, don’t walk to your nearest M&S store.
