IND vs AUS Live Score: Yashasvi Jaiswal overtakes Vijay Hazare Border- Gavaskar Trophy Live Score: Australia reeling at 12/3 at close on Day 3 With a declaration looming and increasing urgency, Kohli broke his 16-month century drought in the final hour, sweeping Marnus Labuschagne for four to the rapturous approval of the crowd's many Indian supporters. During a tricky 4.2 overs before stumps, paceman Jasprit Bumrah dismissed debutant Nathan McSweeney (zero) and Labuschagne (three), both lbw, while nightwatchman Cummins (two) edged Mohammed Siraj to the slips, leaving Usman Khawaja unbeaten on three with an almighty mountain to climb. "If a couple of guys find some form and score 80, 90, even a hundred, that's the positive we can take out of it," said pacer Josh Hazlewood. India vs Australia Live Score: 'It's always special to score against one of the best in the world' Yashasvi Jaiswal and Virat Kohli hardly put a foot wrong on their way to magnificent centuries in Perth on Sunday, as India declared on 487-6 and had Australia reeling at 12-3 at stumps and trailing by 521 runs on day three of the first test. The visitors scored 150 in their first innings before bowling out Australia for 104 while conditions still favoured seam. Jaiswal scored a consequential 161 to earn the title of heir-apparent to Kohli as India's batting figurehead, but the former captain showed he is not ready to relinquish the reins just yet with a fine unbeaten 100. "Be fearless," Jaiswal described his mindset to reporters. "It's always special to score a hundred against one of the best in the world, so I really enjoyed it." IND vs AUS Live Score: India suffered a mini collapse in Day 3's second session With the sun beating down, Australia finally earned some reward for their toil when Rahul feathered Mitchell Starc to wicketkeeper Alex Carey. Playing in place of Rohit Sharma, who stayed home for the birth of his second child, the 32-year-old did a stellar job supporting his young partner. Skipper Rohit is set to return for the second Test in Adelaide, posing a selection headache for the visitors. Australia got another breakthrough on the first ball after lunch when Paddikal edged Hazlewood to Smith at slip. Jaiswal's dismissal sparked a mini collapse with Pant stumped by Carey and Jurel out lbw to Pat Cummins. But Kohli and Sundar steadied the ship, putting on 89 for the sixth wicket, before Nathan Lyon bowled Sundar. That introduced Nitish Kumar Reddy, who with Kohli went on an onslaught against a tired attack. Border-Gavaskar Trophy Live Score: Fourth Test hundred for young Jaiswal The visitors resumed after seizing control on day two when Australia were dismissed for a woeful 104 in reply to India's 150. Padding up on 172-0, Jaiswal took a risky single off Josh Hazlewood's opening ball to signal his attacking intent. The left-hander, who began on 90, reached three figures with an extraordinary six off Hazlewood, hitting the boundary marker on the full, triumphantly raising his arms in the air. It was his fourth ton and first in Australia. Since scoring 171 on debut against the West Indies in 2023 Jaiswal has cemented his place at the top of the Indian order. An eye-opening 214 not out at home against England this year catapulted him to stardom, but concerns lingered over how he would perform in Australian conditions. After being out for a duck in the first innings his response against one of the world's best attacks put any doubts to bed. India vs Australia Live Score: Jaiswal and Kohli slam centuries on Day 3 The day belonged to Jaiswal, hitting 15 fours and three sixes in a mature 297-ball stay. The 22-year-old opener, in his 15th Test, seemed destined for a double century but he cut Mitchell Marsh to Steve Smith at point and departed to a standing ovation. Kohli was also on fire in a welcome resurgence after a lengthy lean spell that sparked questions about his place in the team. The 36-year-old superstar rode his luck to bring up a 30th Test ton and his first since July last year to silence the critics. While Kohli has struggled in recent Tests, he has an exceptional record in Australia, and now has seven centuries, averaging over 54. Along with Jaiswal, Australia removed Devdutt Padikkal (25), Rishabh Pant (1), Dhruv Jurel (1) and Washington Sundar (29), having accounted for KL Rahul (77) before lunch. Rahul's demise snapped a 201-run opening partnership with Jaiswal, a record for India in Australia, eclipsing the previous best set by Sunil Gavaskar and Kris Srikkanth in Sydney in 1986. IND vs AUS Live Score: Australia in disarray after India set a 534-run target Yashasvi Jaiswal slammed a majestic 161 and Virat Kohli roared back to form with a vintage century Sunday as India zeroed in on victory against Australia in the first Test in Perth. The visitors declared their second innings on 487-6 in the final session of day three after Kohli reached 100. Faced with an ominous 534 to win, Australia needed to survive 30 minutes before stumps. But they instead imploded with rookie Nathan McSweeney out for a duck to Jasprit Bumrah and nightwatchman Pat Cummins falling for two, edging Mohammed Siraj to Kohli at slip. When Bumrah trapped Marnus Labuschagne (3) lbw, stumps were called with Usman Khawaja not-out three and Australia in disarray at 12-3.

Gaetz withdraws as Trump's pick for attorney general, averting confirmation battle in the SenateWASHINGTON (AP) — withdrew Thursday as pick for attorney general amid continued fallout over a that cast doubt on his ability to be confirmed as the nation's chief federal law enforcement officer. The announcement caps a turbulent eight-day period in which Trump sought to capitalize on his decisive election win to force Senate Republicans to accept provocative selections like Gaetz, who had been investigated by the Justice Department before being tapped last week to lead it. The decision could heighten scrutiny on other controversial Trump nominees, including , who faces sexual assault allegations that he denies. “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” Gaetz, a Florida Republican who one day earlier met with senators in an effort to win their support, said in a statement. “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1," he added. Trump, in a social media post, said: “I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!” He did not immediately announce a new selection. Last week, Todd Blanche, Emil Bove and D. John Sauer to senior roles in the department. Another possible contender, Matthew Whitaker, The withdrawal, just a week after the pick was announced, averts what was shaping up to be a pitched confirmation fight that would have tested how far Senate Republicans were willing to go to support Trump’s Cabinet picks. The selection of the fierce Trump ally over well-regarded veteran lawyers whose names had circulated as possible contenders stirred concern for the Justice Department's independence at a time when Trump has openly threatened to seek retribution against political adversaries. It underscored the premium Trump to have a disruptor lead a Justice Department that for years investigated and ultimately indicted him. In the Senate, deeply skeptical lawmakers sought more information about Justice Department and congressional investigations into sex trafficking allegations involving underage girls, which Gaetz has denied. Meanwhile, with limited legal experience who has echoed Trump's claims of a weaponized criminal justice system. As Gaetz sought to lock down Senate support, concern over the sex trafficking allegations showed no signs of abating. In recent days, said his clients told House Ethics Committee investigators that Gaetz paid them for sex on multiple occasions beginning in 2017, when Gaetz was a Florida congressman. One of the women testified she saw Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old at a party in Florida in 2017, according to the attorney, Joel Leppard. Leppard has said that his client testified she didn’t think Gaetz knew the girl was underage, stopped their relationship when he found out and did not resume it until after she turned 18. The age of consent in Florida is 18. "They’re grateful for the opportunity to move forward with their lives,” Leppard said Thursday of his clients. “They’re hoping that this brings final closure for all the parties involved.” Gaetz has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. The Justice Department’s investigation ended last year with no charges against him. Gaetz’s political future is uncertain. He had abruptly resigned his congressional seat upon being selected as attorney general, a move seen as a way to shut down the ethics investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He did win reelection in November for the new Congress, which convenes Jan. 3, 2025, but he said in his resignation letter last week that he did not intend to take the oath of office. There are plans for a special election in Florida for his seat. Republicans on the House Ethics Committee declined this week to release the panel's findings, over objections from Democrats in a split vote. But the committee did agree to finish its work and is scheduled to meet again Dec. 5 to discuss the matter. As word of Gaetz's decision spread across the Capitol, Republican senators seemed divided. Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who served with Gaetz in the House, called it a “positive move." Maine Sen. Susan Collins said Gaetz “put country first and I am pleased with his decision.” Others said they had hoped Gaetz could have overhauled the department. Florida Sen. Rick Scott, a close ally of Trump, said he was “disappointed. I like Matt and I think he would have changed the way DOJ is run.” Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said he hopes Trump will pick someone “equally as tenacious and equally as committed to rooting out and eliminating bias and politicization at the DOJ.” Gaetz is not the only Trump pick facing congressional scrutiny over past allegations. A detailed investigative police report made public Wednesday shows that a woman told police that she was sexually assaulted in 2017 by Hegseth, the former Fox News host now tapped to lead the Pentagon, after he took her phone, blocked the door to a California hotel room and refused to let her leave. “The matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared,” Hegseth told reporters Thursday at the Capitol, where he was meeting with senators to build support for his nomination. _____ Associated Press writers Michelle L.

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. (AP) — The Miami Dolphins were ready to deal veteran defensive tackle Calais Campbell to the Baltimore Ravens ahead of the Nov. 5 trade deadline until Mike McDaniel stepped in. “I may or may not have thrown an adult temper tantrum,” Miami's coach said, confirming the news first reported by NFL Network Sunday morning. The Dolphins were 2-6 and had lost three straight at that point. They'd played four uninspired games without their starting quarterback, going 1-3 after Tua Tagovailoa went on injured reserve on Sept. 17 with a concussion. Campbell would have had a chance to rejoin the contending Ravens, and Miami would have received a 2026 fifth-round pick in return, NFL Network reported. McDaniel argued that Campbell was too valuable to lose. “I was happy that they brought me into the conversations," Campbell said after Miami's 34-15 win over the New England Patriots . “They didn't have to say anything to me at all. We had a really good conversation about what we think about this team, where we are. We felt like we had a good shot to get back into the fight.” Added McDaniel: “I think it wasn’t like it was (GM) Chris (Grier) versus me. ... That’s the tricky thing about Chris’ job is he has to look long-term and short-term at the same time, what’s the best for the organization.” Campbell, a 17-year veteran, signed with the Dolphins after playing for Atlanta last season. Players and coaches have praised the 38-year-old's contributions on the field and in the locker room. “There’s no one’s game I’ve come to respect more than Calais up front on the D-line,” defensive tackle Zach Sieler said, “being with him this year and just the energy, the attitude and the mindset he brings every week. It can’t be matched, and that’s the reason why he is who he is today and doing what he’s doing at 17 years.” Campbell leads the team with four sacks. With back-to-back sacks in Weeks 10 and 11, he became the eighth player 38 or older to record sacks in consecutive games since the 1970 merger. He also has nine tackles for loss, giving him at least five tackles for loss in 15 of his 17 seasons. He played for Baltimore from 2020-2022, totaling 11 sacks and 113 tackles. “I think he means a great deal to not only the defensive line room, but the entire defense as well as the entire team,” McDaniel said earlier this week. “It’s rare for a guy to get here when he did, and then be voted, with such conviction, captain. I think the way that he operates to be a pro, I think has had a substantial impact on a lot of players that hadn’t been fortunate enough to be around someone with sustained success like he’s had.” The Dolphins have won three straight games since the deadline. Miami's defense held the Patriots scoreless until the fourth quarter on Sunday. Campbell broke down the team's pregame huddle as he has done before most games this season. He was also seen coaching up rookie linebacker Chop Robinson, who is always seeking pointers from the six-time Pro Bowler. “My job is to speak on behalf of what’s the best thing for the 2024 Dolphins,” McDaniel said. “I’m just fortunate to work in an organization where myself and the GM can be transparent and work together. “And he didn’t want to see any more adult temper tantrums.” AP NFL: https://apnews.com/hub/NFLHATTIESBURG, Miss. (AP) — Denijay Harris' 24 points helped Southern Miss defeat Milwaukee 66-65 on Saturday. Harris hit a 3-pointer and Neftali Alvarez made a layup with 2 seconds left as the Golden Eagles (3-4) rallied from a 65-61 deficit in the final minute. Jett Montgomery scored 13 points while shooting 5 for 8, including 3 for 6 from beyond the arc. Cobie Montgomery finished 3 of 6 from 3-point range to finish with 10 points. Themus Fulks led the way for the Panthers (5-4) with 17 points. Milwaukee also got 13 points and seven rebounds from Kentrell Pullian. AJ McKee also had 10 points and eight rebounds.

How Trump's bet on voters electing him managed to silence some of his legal woesMikel Arteta admitted Arsenal’s 5-2 win at West Ham was “crazy”, but he believes his side have got their momentum back in the Premier League title race. The Gunners have proved reports of their demise have been exaggerated after three thumping wins in the space of a week. Having gone five Premier League matches without a win until they beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 last weekend, Arsenal then thrashed Sporting Lisbon 5-1 in the Champions League on Tuesday. Arsenal close the gap to just six points ahead of Liverpool's game against Man City tomorrow 👀 pic.twitter.com/UkjooTvAjG They then put in another five-star display in a breathless encounter – or first half at least – at the London Stadium. Just as they had in Lisbon, Arsenal had five different scorers, with Gabriel, Leandro Trossard, Martin Odegaard, Kai Havertz and Bukayo Saka finding the net. West Ham waited until they were 4-0 down before showing a modicum of fight, with goals from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson Palmieri briefly making things interesting. But Saka rolled in a penalty to put Arsenal back in charge and ensure the second half was a non-event. The Gunners can now put their feet up and watch title rivals Liverpool and Manchester City try to take points off each other on Sunday. It was a record-equalling score-line, only the fourth time seven goals have been scored in the first half of a Premier League match. “That tells you how crazy it was,” said Arteta. “A spectacular 30 minutes, straight away showed how much the team wanted it, to score three great goals in different ways and then the fourth. “But then after that we had a period with the quality of them, at 4-2 and it’s game on, the energy changed. And what’s next? So it was great to score the fifth one and we could play a very different game in the second half. “We’ve got some momentum, some flow back, three consecutive wins is great. We’re going to enjoy tonight and watch a good game of football tomorrow. “We are in a great moment. But in football, be on your toes. It’s so competitive. We’ll analyse today and go again tomorrow.” Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui felt Arsenal’s first goal, another inventive corner routine which saw Jurrien Timber barge Lucas Paqueta out of the way before Gabriel headed home, should not have counted. He had no complaints about Trossard’s tap-in from Saka’s cross, or the foul on Saka by a combination of Emerson and Paqueta which allowed Odegaard to add the third from the spot. Arsenal’s fourth came from a mistake from Max Kilman which allowed Havertz to race through. But Lopetegui also felt Lukasz Fabianski’s inadvertent punch on Gabriel, rather than the ball, was not sufficient to give the Gunners a second penalty. “It was a very strange first half – we didn’t deserve two goals and they didn’t deserve five,” he said. “Some very strange things happened. The first goal was a set-piece that we prepared for and it’s a clear foul. We have to do better with the second and third goals. “We scored two goals with positive energy and then the fifth goal, the penalty, in my opinion is not a penalty. The fifth goal killed the match.”

BEYONCE reigned supreme as she took to the stadium to perform at half-time for the Christmas Day NFL show. And I can reveal the superstar was also the Queen of festive cheer — after paying her staff bumper bonuses and her dancers double pay for joining her in a dazzling performance. Bey, inset, whose estimated net worth is more than £600million, appeared with daughter Blue Ivy at an American football game in Houston, her home city. The show — dubbed the “Beyonce Bowl” — was streamed live on Netflix and produced by her company Parkwood Entertainment. The singer, clad in a white cowboy hat and chaps, performed hits from her country album Cowboy Carter, which included her number one track Texas Hold ’Em. A source said: “Beyonce paid her staff bonuses for working on Christmas Day. "The show was a big business deal and had to happen on Christmas Day so she paid her staff and dancers double pay to make it happen. “She is also planning to bring some of her old dancers back into the mix for her next tour.” But as Beyonce and her 12-year-old daughter lit up the stadium with a flawless performance, her family has been rocked by allegations. Bey’s husband and rapper Jay-Z — real name Shawn Carter — has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl along with Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The alleged victim claims she was attacked at a Music Video Awards after-party in 2000. Both men strongly deny the allegations. Earlier this week, a judge ruled against Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro, who tried to have the woman behind the allegations identified. Judge Analisa Torres refused the motion. At a time when Blue Ivy was carving out a path to fame, her spotlight has been overshadowed. KATHERINE RYAN has hit back after MasterChef’s Gregg Wallace moaned that “middle-class women of a certain age” were behind the sexism complaints against him. In an exclusive chat at the Women in Film and TV awards, Katherine, right, said: “I feel encouraged that we have moved forward so quickly that there are men of a certain age who can’t keep up with the rules. "They haven’t learned quickly enough that they are supposed to speak to us in a different way or respect us in a different way or hold space for us in a different way – I find that really encouraging.” Last month Gregg stepped down from the BBC One show after a probe into his alleged behaviour. He has been accused of making sexual remarks to 13 colleagues – accusations he denies. FLORENCE PUGH has opened up on the prospect of juggling a career with starting a family. The British actress recently starred in rom-com We Live In Time, which is set to hit cinemas on New Year’s Day.

She said: “Part of this story is about a woman’s dilemma to either have a successful career or start a family. “And let’s be honest, that’s something that’s still very real to this day. “When men become fathers, it doesn’t set their career back – but it can and still very much does for women. “So it was really important for me that women especially got to sympathise with Almut. “It’s going to be a dilemma I have to juggle at some point – and it’s still such an important subject matter.” It comes after Florence was recently spotted Christmas shopping with her Peaky Blinders boyfriend Finn Cole in London. The couple were first linked in September. LOVE Island star Josh Denzel has announced that he is engaged – six years after appearing on the ITV dating series. While he did not find romance on the show, the reality star announced on Instagram that he had popped the question to fashion model girlfriend Ruby Wong on the slopes in Switzerland . Sharing a collection of romantic snaps on the social media site, he wrote: “My love, every day with you is a gift, and I’m so blessed to spend the rest of my life by your side. “You are my rock, my guide, and my heart. And now you’re my fiancee. I love you always.” IT IS the scandal that has rocked Hollywood. But while Blake Lively is suing her It Ends With Us co-star and director Justin Baldoni for alleged sexual harassment, it seems that she can count on her close pal Taylor Swift for support. I am told the singer has been regularly checking in with bestie Blake, who played florist Lily Bloom in the film, following claims Justin fat-shamed her and talked about their respective sex lives. A source said: “Taylor has been speaking to Blake nearly every day and is absolutely disgusted by the revelations. “Taylor sticks by her friends and understands how tough the industry can be — especially for women. She is no stranger to legal conflicts and has been offering guidance and advice.” The talent agency that represents both actors has cut ties with Justin since the legal complaint was filed against him last week. And a list of 30 demands was released that Blake made to Justin and others before she would return to filming the movie, which is based on Colleen Hoover's novel and sees Lily navigate an abusive relationship. Legal papers reveal there was a meeting attended by Blake, her actor husband Ryan Reynolds, Justin, studio bosses and lawyers to address her complaints on set. Among the demands made were that Justin’s previous “pornography addiction” and her lack of porn “consumption” no longer be up for discussion. But while Blake is fighting to get her voice heard, it seems that her friendship with Taylor is stronger than ever. The pair, left, have been close since connecting in 2015. Since then, they are regularly spotted out together and Taylor is godmother to Blake’s three daughters — even namechecking them on track Betty from her 2020 album, Folklore. JENNIFER LOPEZ chills out in her warmest winter woollies – and a pair of giant fluffy snow boots . The On The Floor hitmaker completed the look with a huge parka jacket and oversized shades during a festive getaway to Aspen, Colorado. The singer is set to ring in 2025 as a single woman after filing for divorce from her ex, Ben Affleck , in August. And she is staying focused on her career with a part in the film adaptation of Kiss Of The Spider Woman next year. Jen said: “It’s probably the most challenging and rewarding role I’ve ever had. It’s about love, acceptance and finding beauty in the darkness. “I think those themes are so relevant right now.” Perhaps some inspo for her 2025 mood board . . .I n the aftermath of a revolution the symbols of the old regime are yanked down with unsentimental haste. The progressive Democratic congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has — the news was reported on BBC Radio 4 — removed her “she/her” pronouns from her profile on X.

Nothing from the BBC, the Labour Party or even Stonewall. Not long ago the Bank of England was floodlit in commemorative pink, white and blue, and vigils were held at universities.

Kids are often pretty good at being consumers. If you’re a parent with a small business, you have the opportunity to show your kids firsthand what it means to be a producer. Small Business Saturday, which takes place on Nov. 30 this year, may be a great time to do just that. Small Business Saturday was established by American Express in 2010 and encourages consumers to patronize their local stores as a way to keep dollars circulating within their community. Here are three reasons you should consider getting your kids involved in Small Business Saturday, according to two mompreneurs. Ronne Brown is the owner of HERLISTIC, a plant-derived beauty and feminine care brand in Washington, D.C. She’s been participating in Small Business Saturday since she established her business in 2020. The entrepreneur gets her kids (ages 24, 18 and 12), plus her bonus daughter, 10, to help out on Small Business Saturday and beyond. Brown’s kids help with customer service, shipping and fulfillment tasks. That could include counting inventory, quality control or packaging boxes. Other times, help looks like Brown’s 12-year-old daughter keeping her up-to-date with TikTok trends and influencers in the beauty field. “I just want them to understand the price and the value of a dollar and what it actually costs to make it,” Brown says. The mompreneur also hopes her kids learn the benefits of commitment and hard work. “What I want to show them is that you have to work hard every day. And there are gonna be moments where you’re gonna be tired, you’re gonna be exhausted, and you’re not gonna want to do things, and you’re going to have to push through,” she says. Hiring your kids to do legitimate work during Small Business Saturday provides a chance for them to learn pillars needed for a strong financial foundation: earning money , saving money and investing. That said, before hiring kids, it’s critical to understand the child labor laws for your state in addition to the IRS’ rules around hiring kids. Brown says she pays all of her children, including her 24-year-old son who is on payroll. Additionally, she teaches them about investing in the stock market. “I want them to understand the importance of making money, but also investing the money that they’re making,” she says. “Because when I pay them, I always ask them, ‘so what are you gonna do to double this money?’” If you hire your minor kids, they could get a headstart on investing by putting some of their income into a custodial Roth IRA , which requires earned income to open. You could also open them a custodial brokerage account. Another perk of your kids earning income by working for you is that they may be exempt from paying federal income taxes if they earn less than the standard deduction . In 2024, that threshold is $14,600. Having your kids add helping hands, whether it be doing administrative tasks or helping customers, can ensure you keep up with a potential increase in sales. A 2024 NerdWallet holiday spending report found that 16% of 2024 holiday shoppers plan to shop on Small Business Saturday this year. Lisset Tresvant, owner of Glow Esthetics Spa in Hollywood, Florida, has been participating in Small Business Saturday since the genesis of her business in 2019. “I do tend to sell more because people are usually more inclined to purchase because of the sales, and it gives them a reason to support us,” she says. To help with the demand, Tresvant’s daughter, 12, and son, 9, fill her skincare products, add labels and help prep items for shipping. Tresvant says she decided to let her kids get involved in her business so they have a better understanding of what she does. Looking beyond Small Business Saturday, hiring your child can also help with succession planning , which is about planning for your departure from your business. Tresvant hopes to pass hers down to her kids one day. “They understand that I’m building this legacy just for not myself, but for them as well,” says Tresvant.

The evening's episode, hosted by duo Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly, delivered all the latest jungle antics. Viewers watched Dean and Coleen tackle a gruelling trial, and the episode also saw the return of the Deals on Wheels challenge. Plus, Coleen gave an inside scoop on her and husband Wayne Rooney's surprising encounter with Donald Trump. But the mood among viewers soured when they learned Dean was nominated for yet another trial. Ant and Dec made their way into camp to announce the next trial contender, with everyone almost expecting Dean's name to come up. Irate fans took to social media to vent their irritation; one viewer tweeted: "At which point do the producers stop someone getting voted from doing trials every day in a row like this can't last until the end ... #ImACeleb," while another exclaimed: "FFS STOP VOTING FOR DEAN ITS GETTING BORING NOW! #ImACeleb.", reports the Express . Another chimed in: "Do you think if we all just stop watching Dean one night, that they'll finally get the point? #ImACeleb," as another wrote: "So bored of Dean doing the trials and getting all the camera time now.. he's not entertaining #ImACeleb." One penned: "Show to be renamed to 'Dean is a celeb get everyone else out of here' #imaceleb," and one more added: "Is this a fix because it gets a reaction on social media? Really beyond boring. Such a great cast, and all we see is Dean. What a shame." Earlier tonight, Coleen and Dean took on the Absolute Carnage trial on Im A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! The challenge saw Coleen locked inside the back of a car filled with stars, where they had to use tools found in the front of the car to unlock each of the different fastenings. Coleen was joined by cockroaches, crickets, giant mealworms and rats in her section, while Dean had fish guts poured on him as he tried to search for the different tools to help Coleen in the back. They had 12 minutes to get as many stars as they could and ended up with nine stars for camp. After the trial, Ant and Dec told Coleen: "You were very calm, very quiet, you just got on with it." She replied: "Yeah that is my way of coping, silence, the silent treatment," as Dean explained he felt he had finally got over his hate of fish guts, given that he quit one trial because had fish guts poured on his head. *I'm A Celebrity airs every day at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.
