Who is Bella Maclean? Actress who plays Rivals’ Taggie O’Hara and Jem in Netflix’s Sex Education

BELLA Maclean’s acting career has already included some big TV credits.

Bella spent the first 10 years of her life in New York where her parents worked.

However, they then moved back to the UK which is where Bella’s acting career began as she landed herself a place at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama.

It was in her last year at the school that she managed to get her foot in the door of the acting world.

Acting roles

Before leaving college, Bella was due to star in the musical Spring Awakening at the Almeida Theatre in London.

However, the coronavirus pandemic meant that just some of the shows were able to go ahead.

She already had some film experience before she graduated in 2020 as she starred in two short films while she studied.

Bella appeared in Silent Witness as Sara Mendes in series 26 where she played the sister of Fiona.

Breakout role

Bella’s arguably biggest role to date is in the final season of Netflix‘s Sex Education as Jem.

Jem was employed at her father’s farm where she taught horse riding to children and developed a friendship and relationship with Adam.

Bella’s latest role is starring in Disney + show Rivals.

Having been dubbed one of the raciest shows on TV, Bella takes on the character of Taggie who is the eldest daughter of Declan and Maud.

The eight part series is based on a Dame Jilly Cooper book.

Despite just being 20, Taggie appears to be the most responsible member of the O’Hara family as she wants to have her own catering business and to find her ideal romantic partner.

Life away from fame

Bella is currently living in West London so she can be closer to acting opportunities.

She revealed in October 2024 to the Standard that many people have been getting her age wrong.

She said that it is often reported that she is 23 but she is actually 26 years old.

“I don’t know where anyone got that from, even people in the cast keep saying that after reading it online. I’m 26,” Bella confirmed.

Rob Gronkowski absent from Fox NFL Sunday for Week 7 as viewers fear he may ‘never come back’ on air

FOX NFL Sunday viewers has been left confused after Rob Gronkowski was absent from the show again.

The New England Patriots legend had been a regular on the weekend primetime program.

He had been appearing for a number of years, before missing the first week of the 2024-25 NFL season.

The 35-year-old returned, but has been out for most of the campaign, in a major concern to fans.

And Gronkowski was also missing from Week 7’s instalment of the show.

It had regular host Curt Menefee at the helm, sat alongside Pittsburgh Steelers legend Terry Bradshaw.

Howie Long, Jimmy Johnson and New York Giants icon Michael Strahan made up the panel.

But no Gronk on Fox NFL Sunday had viewers fearing he may “never come back” on the live TV broadcast.

Viewers rushed to social media site X to voice their concerns.

One said: “Where’s Gronk?”

Another added: “No Gronk again on Fox.”

A third commented: “I won’t watch Fox without him.”

And another said: “I miss Gronk.”

A fifth replied: “Where is Rob Gronkowski this week?”

Meanwhile, Gronkowski was sent a message by Kansas City Chiefs star Travis Kelce last week.

Gronk has started a number of business ventures since his NFL retirement.

'That's what makes him so great'

New England Patriots legend Rob Gronkowski says Tom Brady's greatness is down to consistency.

Brady continued playing until he was 45, leaving many people asking what was the secret to his longevity – and his longtime friend has the answer.

“You really don’t see that anymore in this generation, he really practices what he preaches,” Gronk told former teammate Julian Edelman, 38, on the Games with Names podcast.

“There are no and, ifs, or buts about Tom Brady being Tom Brady.

“What he puts out there, what he preaches, he practices it.

“There’s no doubt about it. There are a lot of people out there on social media, or at a lecture, they’re reminiscing about, ‘This is what you gotta do to be great, this is what you gotta do to be successful.’

“Well Tom Brady does what he says on a daily basis.

“He takes care of his body, he takes care of his mind, he competes, and that’s what makes him so great.”

He mixes that alongside his media duties, which include regular stints on the Kay Adams Show.

And now he has announced he will be partnering with entertainment studio Nuthouse.

This new partnership is being highlighted by a new series with his former teammate Julian Edelman.

It will be called Dudes on Dudes with Gronk and Jules.

“Your favorite dudes have finally launched their very own show!” Gronk posted on his social networking pages.

“@gronk and @edelman11 here, and we are stoked to announce that we are officially teammates again.

“Welcome to the world of Dudes on Dudes!”

Kelce was one of the first to react to the news of the new show, and shared his excitement in the comments.

“This is gonna be epic!!!” he wrote with fire emojis.

Thompson wore her hair at shoulder length while delivering a segment about Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold.

During the segment, she wore a vibrant red dress while speaking to the Fox NFL Sunday crew.

The red dress hugged her figure, and fans went wild for the stunning outfit.

“Charissa Thompson is so hot,” one fan said.

“Charissa Thompson looking absolutely stunning,” another fan said.

“They should just broadcast Charissa Thompson’s every movement,” a third fan said.

Outside of her duties on Fox NFL Sunday, Thompson airs her own podcast with fellow reporter Erin Andrews.

They talk about a multitude of subjects every week, most recently discussing a soft spot she has for a NFL quarterback.

“I know he takes a lot of s***,” Thompson said.

“Like ‘Oh, he gets all this money and he doesn’t win the playoffs, or it’s like this and that.

“Obviously, you and I get to know these guys on a personal level.

“If no one listening to this knows anything about Kirk Cousins, go back and watch Quarterback on Netflix.

“He is the sweetest, the kindest, like such a good human being,”

Thompson has covered Cousins’ career from college through the NFL, as she formerly worked in the Big 10.

She said Cousins remembered her from that time and it made their recent conversations even better.

NFL important dates

August 1 - Hall of Fame Game - Houston Texans vs Chicago Bears

August 8 – Pre-season begins

August 27 – Deadline for 53-man rosters

“He gets up on to the set before we go on air, and he was like, ‘Hi Charissa!.. I remember when you covered the Big Ten Network,” Thompson said.

“I was like… you sit down right now you little cutie… He’s just such a class act.”

Cousins is having a solid debut season for his new team in the Atlanta Falcons.

He has thrown for 1,830 yards with 10 touchdowns, but has also thrown seven interceptions.

The Falcons are currently 4-3 on the season with Cousins at quarterback.

World’s smallest dinosaur egg found ‘perfectly preserved’ after 80MILLION years – despite being tinier than a 50p

THE world’s smallest dinosaur egg from 80 million years ago has been found “perfectly preserved” – despite being tinier than 50p.

The find dates all the way back to the Late Cretacerous period and offers unbelievable insights into the reproductive habits of dinosaurs.

Six near-perfect egg fossils were gouged from a well-preserved nest bizarrely found at a construction site in Ganzhou, China.

The research team confirmed the significance of the discovery after studying them for a whopping three years.

The most complete fossil egg found at the site is only a mere 29mm in length.

This egg breaks the previous record for the smallest dinosaur egg fossil – which measured approximately 45.5mm in length after being found in Zhejiang Province, China.

But the new breakthrough discovery unleashes a new understanding on the evolutionary history of dinosaurs.

Through analysis of the eggshells using advanced technologies, experts have been able to determine the eggs are likely that of a non-avian theropod.

The discovery has also added to the diversity of known dinosaur eggs from the Late Cretaceous period while also shedding light on the reproductive habits of theropods.

Theropods were a group of carnivorous dinosaurs that includes well-known species like the terrifying Tyrannosaurus rex.

Now the research team is planning to use micro-CT scanning to reconstruct the fossilised nest to unlock more knowledge on how the eggs were laid and preserved.

It comes a few weeks after the giant 270kg skull of a dinosaur who last roamed the planet 72million years ago was unearthed in a bone-filled creek.

Palaeontologists found the incredibly well preserved bone of the adult Pachyrhinosaurus dubbed “Big Sam” underground near Grande Prairie in Alberta, Canada.

The Pachyrhinosaurus – meaning thick-nosed lizard – was a plant-eating dinosaur that was believed to be the cousin of the iconic Triceratops.

Researchers believe that based off the size of the bones found so far the dinosaur species was the same size as an Indian elephant or a rhino.

Some even believe the adult male Pachyrhinosaurus tipped the scales at around 4,000kg.

The Canadian team that found Big Sam’s 272kg fossilised skull described it as being the same size as a baby elephant.

It resembled a bumpy and bony shape which differentiates it from many other similar species who had a sharp horn on their nose.

Emily Bamforth, a paleontologist at the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum who have taken the skull to study, said: “Their distinguishing feature is that, instead of having a horn on their nose like a triceratops, they had this big, bony bump called a boss.

“And they have big, bony bumps over their eyes as well.

“It makes them look a little strange. It’s the one dinosaur that if you find it, it’s the only possible thing it can be.”

Why did the dinosaurs die out?

Here's what you need to know...

  • The dinosaur wipe-out was a sudden mass extinction event on Earth
  • It wiped out roughly three-quarters of our planet’s plant and animal species around 66million years ago
  • This event marked the end of the Cretaceous period, and opened the Cenozoic Era, which we’re still in today
  • Scientists generally believe that a massive comet or asteroid around 9 miles wide crashed into Earth, devastating the planet
  • This impact is said to have sparked a lingering “impact winter”, severely harming plant life and the food chain that relied on it
  • More recent research suggests that this impact “ignited” major volcanic activity, which also led to the wiping-out of life
  • Some research has suggested that dinosaur numbers were already declining due to climate changes at the time
  • But a study published in March 2019 claims that dinosaurs were likely “thriving” before the extinction event

Moment Patrick Mahomes ‘runs over’ 49ers rival Malik Mustapha as Kansas City Chiefs QB admits ‘I’m a little heavy’

PATRICK Mahomes stunned the NFL world after trucking San Francisco 49ers star defender Malik Mustapha for a touchdown on Sunday.

The Kansas City Chiefs two-time MVP spoke about the sequence after the team’s 28-18 road victory over the 49ers in Week 7.

During the fourth quarter, the Chiefs offense was on San Francisco’s 1-yard line on 4th-and-1.

Mahomes was in the shotgun, took the snap, and looked to his left to find Travis Kelce, who was being held.

Instead of passing to him, Mahomes took it upon himself to run up the middle and had the safety Mustapha in his way.

Mahomes then lowered his shoulder and sent Mustapha to the ground.

The 28-year-old scored the touchdown which gave the Chiefs a 21-12 lead.

https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1848134108032925734

After the game, Mahomes caught up with Fox NFL sideline reporter Erin Andrews.

During the interview, she brought up his brutal hit of Mustapha, and Mahomes shared an admission about the play.

“I wasn’t even trying to run him over. I’m just trying to get in the end zone,” Mahomes said to Andrews.

“I’m a little heavy.

NFL fans were in hysterics over his postgame comment, with one writing, “Dad bod for the win.”

Mahomes is listed at 6-foot-2, 225 pounds, but he is likely heavier.

The NFL star has gotten hit with jokes about his unathletic physique in the past.

Mahomes defended his body shape in an interview with TIME magazine in April, insisting “some padding” is important for an NFL quarterback.

“I definitely have the dad bod a little bit,” Mahomes told TIME.

“I’ll also say I have a great body for a quarterback. You’ve got to have some padding in there to take the hits that we take.”

The Chiefs are still unbeaten, with a 6-0 record, despite Mahomes’ less-than-stellar statistics for the season.

He has six passing touchdowns and eight interceptions, including two from Sunday.

Kansas City has relied on a defense that intercepted 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy three times.

Mahomes and the Chiefs will face the division rival Las Vegas Raiders next week.

My home was sold behind my back by ‘property pirates’ for less than $1 – paperwork even had my ‘signature’ on it

A HOMEOWNER has allegedly had their house sold off behind their back for less than $1 – and they say the fraud is astonishingly easy to carry out.

Caroline Sauer discovered that her late father’s home had been signed over to her ex-husband, using her own signature.

Victor Rodriguez, 50, and his new wife, 33-year-old Michelle Cherry, are accused of forging “quitclaim deeds” on homes in Florida.

A quitclaim deed is a document transferring ownership of a property without the owner’s consent.

They cost as little as 70 cents in processing costs, meaning scammers can forge signatures and walk away with someone’s home for under a dollar.

Most states do not have many laws that make this type of crime more difficult.

“We found out that the titles of my father’s properties had all changed through quitclaim deeds,” said Sauer to local Fox outlet FOX13.

“We questioned, how did this happen? Who forges a deceased person’s signature? Who does that?”

In addition to allegedly taking his former father-in-law’s house in Miami-Dade County, Rodriguez, along with Cherry, are accused of forging records to take claim of another home in Tampa.

Larry and Dreama Bilby, whose home was under construction and unoccupied at the time, were stunned when they learned their property no longer belonged to them.

They were told in February this year that they had supposedly walked into the Hillsborough County Clerk’s office and signed over their home.

“I was so angry, I almost couldn’t talk,” she told FOX13.

Cindy Stuary, Hillsborough County Clerk, said that the forgery requires just “a notary and two signatures with an address listed next to them.”

Rodriguez and Cherry, who were arrested in March, both pleaded not guilty to the fraud charges.

How can your home be sold without your consent?

Your home can be sold from under you for various reasons - here are three key things to look out for:

Tax Sale

  • A tax sale is the sale of property by a governmental entity to recover unpaid taxes by the owner who has reached a certain point of delinquency in their owed payments.
  • Before a tax sale takes place, there is a right-of-redemption period where the owner can pay off their debt and reclaim their home.
  • Each state has different laws surrounding tax sales but in most areas, the basic requirement is that adequate notice is given to the owner to pay the outstanding money, and any sale must be open to the public.

Foreclosure

  • Foreclosures can take place when lenders take control of a property after borrowers have failed to make their repayments.
  • Borrowers will receive a Notice of Default, triggering the foreclosure process.
  • Homeowners in HOA communities can also see their homes foreclosed by their HOA for falling behind on fees.
  • This means that even if you keep up with mortgage repayments, you could still lose your home if your HOA has a lien on your property.
  • When such a foreclosure takes place, the sale price only needs to be enough to cover the HOA debt meaning that properties can be sold for much less than they are worth.

Property Fraud

  • Criminals can use a fake or stolen ID to impersonate a homeowner in order to sell or mortgage homes.
  • Typical targets for property fraud include absent owners like landlords, owners who live abroad, and sole owners of unmortgaged homes.
  • The U.S. Sun previously reported on a man whose vacation home worth $300,000 was sold by criminals for just $9,000 – they even had the deed to the property.

His attorney said in a statement, “We have filed a written plea of not guilty on his behalf.

“Mr Rodriguez maintains his innocence, and our office is entrusted with the responsibility of protecting his rights.

“Because his case is under active litigation, he is protected by both work product privilege and attorney/client privilege. 

“We are responsible for ensuring justice and fairness in legal proceedings, protecting Mr Rodriguez’s rights, and upholding the rule of law.

“We cannot provide any further comment that might adversely affect our representation of this client.”

Stuart says she is pushing for tougher legislation to clamp down on quitclaim deed frauds, but she has also warned her clerks to look out for any suspicious behavior from potential scammers.

She said details such as “misspelled names, addresses that don’t appear that they actually exist, misspelled cities,” could all be signs of fraud.

Sauer says she is still fighting her ex-husband to get her father’s house back.

The family has hired a handwriting expert to prove that she didn’t sign the deed.

“The hardest thing for us emotionally has been, we’ve just tried to protect my father and his legacy,” she said.

Diddy ‘raped 13-year-old girl with help from male and female celebs at VMAs after-party’, bombshell new lawsuit claims

DISGRACED rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is accused of raping a 13-year-old girl as two other celebrities joined in, according to a fresh wave of lawsuits.

The disturbing claims, presented in a slew of civil lawsuits filed against Diddy, allege the rapper drugged and raped the teen at a VMAs afterparty in New York over 20 years ago.

The lawsuits were filed in the Southern District of New York late Sunday, Deadline reported.

The alleged victim- identified only as “Jane Doe”- claims she was attacked after having one drink that left her feeling “woozy and lightheaded” at the house party in September 2000.

The now 37-year-old woman alleges she was raped by Diddy while the male and female celebrities watched.

The lawsuit reads: “Looking for a place to rest, Plaintiff entered what she believed to be an empty bedroom so she could lie down for a moment.

“Soon after, Combs, along with a male and female celebrity, entered the room.

“Combs aggressively approached Plaintiff with a crazed look in his eyes, grabbed her, and said, ‘You are ready to party.”

She claimed Diddy tried to force her to perform oral sex, but she fought him off before grabbing her clothes and leaving the bedroom, “roaming naked through the house looking for the exit.”

The suit states the teenager ended up at the afterparty after attempting to attend the MTV Video Music Awards without a ticket earlier that night on September 7, 2000.

She approached limousine drivers hoping she could get into an afterparty – including Diddy’s driver, who allegedly agreed to take her to the party as she “fit what Diddy was looking for.”

The teen claimed she was taken to the house where she signed a non-disclosure agreement and was offered a drink.

After the alleged assault, the teen was able to escape by walking to a nearby gas station from where she called her dad to pick her up.

The filing states that following the attack, the woman “fell into a deep depression which continues to affect every facet of her life.”

The latest lawsuit comes days after Diddy demanded to know the names of his alleged victims as he was hit with six fresh allegations last week.

 One of the lawsuits alleges Diddy “brutally, orally raped” a man working for a rival clothing company in a Macy’s store, while another alleged victim claimed Diddy groped him at a party in 1998 when he was just 16.

Diddy's downfall

By Forest McFarland, Senior News Reporter

BEFORE Sean “Diddy” Combs’ arrest on Monday night, it had been highly speculated that the rap star would find himself in custody after he was repeatedly hit with disturbing accusations – and had two of his mansions raided by the feds.

His mounting legal troubles finally came to a head on September 17, when he was charged with three federal counts, including sex trafficking, for allegedly forcing victims to take part in drug-fueled sex parties he called “Freak Offs.”

Hours before his arrest, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the feds investigating Diddy were secretly liaising with Tupac Shakur murder prosecutors on gangland activities.

The development also came after Diddy was named 77 times in documents submitted by prosecutors in the Tupac murder case.

Aside from the Tupac probe, Diddy was already facing a slew of lawsuits, including one he settled with his ex, Cassie Ventura, after she accused him of rape and abuse.

Disturbing hotel surveillance video from 2016 showed Diddy chasing Cassie down and then punching, kicking, and beating her in a hallway.

Two months earlier, in March 2024, two of Diddy’s mansions were raided by federal investigators, who seized three AR-15s, drugs, and 1,000 bottles of lube which were part of his “Freak Off” supplies.

In addition to his federal criminal charges, Diddy also faces a handful of lawsuits with allegations of sexual assault, harassment, and sex trafficking dating back to the early 1990s.

Music producer Rodney ‘Lil Rod’ Jones filed one suit in February 2024, claiming Diddy forced him to hire sex workers and participate in sex acts while he worked on his latest album.

Diddy has denied any wrongdoing and pleaded not guilty to the federal sex trafficking charges against him, but his battle is far from over.

He faces life in prison if he’s convicted on all counts.

Another lawsuit claims Diddy allegedly gang-raped a woman and threatened to slash her face after she questioned him about Tupac’s murder.

In the past several weeks, Diddy has been hit with a flurry of additional claims of sexual assault, rape, violence, and manipulation by accusers ranging from music hopefuls to complete strangers.

Some of the allegations made against Diddy claim they took place at the infamous parties he held over the years.

Diddy has denied all claims of wrongdoing.

At the parties, Diddy would allegedly film high-profile guests as they had sex with prostitutes who he flew out from around the country and use the video as blackmail.

Diddy is currently being held in Brooklyn’s notorious Metropolitan Detention Center and has been denied bail twice.

He posted on Instagram for the first time since he was arrested and slammed with sex trafficking charges last week to wish his two-year-old daughter Love a happy birthday.

His trial date for the criminal charges of sex trafficking and racketeering has been set for May 5 next year.

Diddy has pleaded not guilty to the charges with one of his lawyers Erica Wolff saying the claims are “false and defamatory”.

Drivers to get part of $800k settlement over ‘unfair’ tickets – thousands couldn’t challenge fine but can now claim cash

DRIVERS can get their hands on part of a $800,000 settlement over a series of unfair parking tickets.

Potentially thousands of vehicle owners who were wrongfully fined can now claim the cash – after they were unable to contest the tickets over a near two-year period.

Potentially thousands of vehicle owners who were wrongfully fined can now claim the cash[/caption]

The huge settlement, which was proposed in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania, began as a longstanding parking ticket fiasco and eventually spurred a federal class action lawsuit.

The suit was first filed by Mary G. Candido, of Clifton Heights, in April 2023 after it was revealed around 18,000 parking tickets failed to reach the Administrative Office of Pennsylvania Courts between April 2021 and early 2023.

Candido claimed that possibly thousands of people who received parking tickets during this period weren’t notified on how to pay or contest them – leaving them in legal limbo and fearing prosecution while fees continued to rise.

The complaint said: “Due to these uncertainties and risks, numerous individuals simply plead guilty and pay the parking tickets, even if they believe they have good grounds to contest them, because they are never afforded any notice or opportunity to contest the tickets in court.”

In one example, a barber shop owner reportedly had his car towed due to violations he never received summons or hearing dates for, but that he “absolutely” wanted to contest.

This debacle later resulted in Upper Darby hiring Brinker Stinson acting Director of Finance Donna Stilwell to audit the ticket issue.

This led to the unrelated arrest of former township Councilwoman and then-parking enforcement Director Sekela Coles in July 2023 for creating an alleged “slush fund” with the money collected from local parking kiosks.

Coles later resigned as Upper Darby’s parking enforcement director after she was charged with diverting coinage from kiosks into the so-called slush fund.

Stilwell also found multiple oversights and IT issues from the parking enforcement office – which affected the issue around parking tickets.

Later, officials valued the missing tickets at approximately $1.5 million in lost revenue.

This comes as a Ferrari dealer in Houston, Texas, has sued a customer after they flipped one of their recently released models – in violation of a prior sales agreement.

Donald Trump watched the game from a VIP box at the Acrisure Stadium.
