Hearn, 77, bravely had a go on the rodeo, climbing onto the back of the bull in a cowboys hat.
He managed to cling on for seven seconds before falling off with a huge smile on his face.

She then pointed to a mark on her shoulder and said: "Cydney thought this was a birth mark. "In fact it was the time I tried to curl my hair. Szzz."

The pair giggled and Maya added: "She's from West London." With only days to go until the Love Island final, the cast returned to the villa for the Islander Jury and sent another couple pair packing. In scenes that will air on Sunday night, former cast members made their epic return to make the huge decision. Former Islanders including Harry Cooksley's ex Emma Munro, Billykiss Azeez, and smitten couple Harrison Solomon and Lauren Wood, voted for the couple they wanted to boot. Maya Jama looks incredible in sexiest Love Island outfit yet as she returns to villa for 'horrifying' dumping While The Sun can't reveal their identities at this crucial stage of the ITV2 dating show, we can share that Islanders made their decisions having watched back footage and been shocked by what they saw. A source said: 'This couple have been a big part of this series so this is a shocking moment. 'But having watched it back, ex- Islanders have become privy to action they weren't fully aware of and it left them more than questioning the integrity of this connection. 'The couple were sent packing on Friday afternoon and the scenes will air on Sunday.' It comes after the Islanders were enjoying their final dates on Friday night and an unexpected text changed the villa's loving atmosphere. Toni received the text which read: 'Islanders. The public have been voting for the most compatible couple. "The couple with the fewest votes and therefore dumped from the island tonight is Connor and Megan." Fans were quick to comment on social media and one wrote: "The producers are playing games because there's no way people voted Megan and Connor out instead of Meg and manipulative Dejon. I'm absolutely flabbergasted." Another added: "Bro they had me sitting on edge of my seat with that music, waiting to celebrate that Dejon and Meg got voted off…..just for it to be Megan and Connor." It comes following Thursday's brutal double dumping which saw Helena Ford and Blu Chegini booted out of the villa. 5 Maya shows off her incredible body in a white plunging bikini Credit: instagram/@mayajama

Victoria Beckham straddles shirtless husband David in steamy yacht moment
Victoria and David Beckham reminded the world what A-list romance looks like this week, sharing a steamy moment aboard their £16 million yacht off the coast of Saint-Tropez. Nearly 25 years after tying the knot, Posh and Becks were photographed in a passionate embrace on the top deck. Victoria was straddling her shirtless husband, the two locked in a lingering embrace as the Mediterranean sun beamed down. The pair, both in their early 50s, proved that time and family tensions haven't dimmed their spark. After a high-profile summer hosting friends like Gordon and Tana Ramsay and longtime pal Eva Longoria, the Beckhams managed to steal some alone time. David, 50, showed off his famously sculpted abs while cooling off in the yacht's outdoor shower following the intimate cuddle session. But not everything aboard the yacht has been picture-perfect. The absence of their eldest son Brooklyn, 26, has only intensified speculation about a growing rift within the Beckham family. Brooklyn was notably absent from David's star-studded 50th birthday celebrations in May and did not join the rest of the family on this luxury holiday, despite vacationing in the same region just days earlier with wife Nicola Peltz and her family. Photos showed Brooklyn leaving the south of France shortly before his parents and siblings arrived, seemingly sidestepping a possible run-in. Meanwhile, the younger Beckham kids appeared to be enjoying the break. Romeo and 14-year-old Harper joined their parents early in the trip, later welcoming Cruz, 20, and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 30. The family were seen zipping to shore on a smaller boat for beachside excursions, while Brooklyn remained noticeably out of frame. Rumours of a rift in the family started when Brooklyn and Nicola married in 2022, with reports of tension between her and Victoria Beckham, 51, however talk died down when the pair put on a united front at public events. More Trending However, eyebrows were raised once more when Brooklyn and Nicola failed to make an appearance at David's 50th birthday bash – nor did he, in typical Beckham fashion, send his dad a birthday message on social media. Further fuel was added to the fire when just a short time after this snub, Brooklyn wished Nicola's dad a happy birthday on Instagram. However, Brooklyn – who also posed a cryptic social media video about how he would 'always choose' Nicola – put the alleged drama aside to pay tribute to youngest sibling Harper on her 14th birthday last week. The reason behind the rumored rift is currently unclear, but it has been claimed that Victoria is 'desperate' for things to be patched up between her once-close family. Got a story?
