Why This Boxing Icon Rejected Offers from Two Major TV Shows: A Surprising Revelation

Boxing icon Amir Khan recently disclosed that he declined invitations to join two popular television programs, as approached by BBC executives.

The 38-year-old boxer, who previously competed in the 2017 edition of “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”, was considered for “Strictly Come Dancing” and “Celebrity MasterChef” last year. Despite the enticing opportunities, Khan ultimately opted to pass on both.

In a conversation with Betway, he shared, “I’ve been offered a spot on ‘Strictly Come Dancing’, so that’s something I might consider in the future.”

He further explained, “I received an invitation for ‘Celebrity MasterChef’ recently, but the filming schedule didn’t align with my commitments this year.”

Amir Khan added that he remains open to participating in these shows down the line, provided the timing suits his schedule.

He explained: ‘There are a lot of shows but it’s hard to get the time.’

Amir Khan revealed he turned down two major television shows after being approached by BBC bosses (pictured last year)

The professional boxer, 38, who participated in the 2017 series of I’m A Celebrity … Get Me Out Of Here! was in the running for both Strictly Come Dancing and Celebrity MasterChef last year

He also admitted that he enjoys taking part in television shows because they allow people to see the ‘real him’.

However, Amir emphasized that he is selective and will only participate in ‘top shows’.

Despite his willingness to appear on more programs, the boxer isn’t desperate for the paycheck.

In December, Amir, who currently resides in Dubai, shared that he had bought yet another luxurious property, posting on Instagram: ‘God is great – another property added to my portfolio. Suffer, invest, profit.’

He added: ‘All my investments are cash paid. Never been in debt.’

Last year, Amir also splashed out over £130,000 on a new G-Wagon for his wife, Faryal Makhdoom, after being embroiled in yet another sexting scandal.

MailOnline revealed last year that Amir and Faryal had reportedly separated and were living apart after he was caught sexting another woman.

Their marriage, which has spanned a decade and produced three children, appeared to be on the rocks after Amir approached bridal model Sumaira online and asked her to send explicit pictures.

At the time, it was reported that Amir and Faryal were splitting their time between their homes in Dubai and Britain while Faryal decided whether to end their marriage.

A source close to the Khan family told MailOnline at the time: ‘Faryal is taking time to think about whether or not to walk away.’

They added: ‘She’s going through a very difficult time and choosing to focus on her children while she and Amir continue to co-parent.’

MailOnline contacted Amir’s representatives at the time for comment.

Retired FBI Agent Reveals Scientists’ Research Under Threat from Hostile Forces Amid Mysterious Disappearances

FBI probes mysterious disappearances, deaths of US scientists

The House Oversight Committee is demanding answers as the FBI leads an investigation into the unexplained deaths and disappearances of U.S. scientists involved in critical nuclear and space research. Former FBI Director Chris Swecker has raised concerns about potential espionage activities. In a separate incident, an Iranian national was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) on charges related to arms trafficking. Additionally, the news highlights a tragic shooting in Shreveport, where a gunman killed eight children, alongside a chaotic street takeover in New York City.

In recent weeks, approximately a dozen cases involving missing or deceased American nuclear scientists have emerged, prompting a retired senior FBI official to suggest that some of these incidents may follow a suspicious pattern.

“The nature of these disappearances is inherently suspicious,” stated Chris Swecker, who previously served as the FBI’s assistant director. “Given the sensitive nature of their work, it’s conceivable they could be targets of hostile foreign intelligence agencies, such as those from Russia, China, Iran, or even Pakistan.”

However, Swecker notes that the six deaths that have garnered significant attention do not appear to share commonalities, and he does not believe they are interconnected.

While Swecker isn’t convinced that there’s a conspiracy afoot even among the missing scientists, he agrees that authorities should be looking for links in the disappearances, given the high-value, sensitive technology that they all worked with or near.

The disappearance of retired Air Force Maj. Gen. William Neil McCasland earlier this year set off the cascade of theories about the missing and dead scientists. He was the former commander of the Air Force Research Laboratory, and had connections to the Los Alamos National Laboratory, where top-secret nuclear research is conducted.

He vanished in New Mexico after leaving his home with only a pair of boots and a handgun. He left his phone, keys and glasses behind.

“I’m just saying that … the FBI would have interest in anything that happened to them because of what they were working on,” he said. “And, in fact, [with] McCasland, the FBI showed up uninvited that very afternoon.“

Anthony Chavez, 79, worked at Los Alamos National Laboratory until he retired in 2017. He reportedly disappeared on May 8, 2025. He was last seen leaving his house in Los Alamos on foot, with his car locked in his driveway. He did not bring his phone, wallet or keys on his walk.

Melissa Casias, 53, also worked at the Los Alamos National Laboratory. She went missing on June 26, 2025.

Steven Garcia, 48, went missing from Albuquerque on Aug. 28, 2025. He worked at the Kansas City National Security Campus, located in Albuquerque, which develops most of the nonnuclear components that go into building nuclear weapons. He reportedly left on foot carrying only a handgun.

He reportedly had a top secret security clearance.

“So Garcia, Chavez and Casias, in my opinion, ought to be lumped in and that should be the focus, and any others that went missing, because that would fit more of a pattern than just killing somebody because of what they know,” said Swcker.

“Exact same pattern,” he continued. “They disappeared with all their personal belongings [left] behind. Some of them took their handguns with them, which means they’re either in fear or they’re going to go use it on themselves.”

Swecker also had a warning for scientists working in top-secret fields.

“What people really need to be aware of — anybody involved in technology and anything that China or Russia or our competitors want to get their hands — ought to understand that there is a daily collection effort by China, Russia, Iran, to some extent, North Korea, but mainly China and Russia to steal technology because they’re not good at [research and development],” he said. “And their whole programs depend on stealing the technology and reverse engineering it.”

“So, scientists, people involved in the defense contracting companies, research and development at universities, you know, all types of technologies in the U.S., even if it’s not military use, ought to be aware that this type of stuff goes on day in and day out.”

Last week, the White House directed the FBI to coordinate an investigation into the cases. The investigation is ongoing.

Breaking: Chaos at White House as Erika Kirk Flees Amid Gunfire Incident

In a harrowing scene at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner, Erika Kirk tearfully exclaimed, “I just want to go home,” as she was swiftly escorted to safety following a shooting incident.

The widow of Charlie Kirk was among the initial group to be evacuated from the Washington Hilton on Saturday night. This occurred shortly after President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania Trump were safely removed from the premises.

Erika Kirk, head of Turning Point USA, was visibly distraught, surrounded by what appeared to be two Secret Service agents as she was led away.

Derek Myers, a sponsor for Turning Point Action, took to social media platform X to reassure the public, stating, “Erika is okay but very upset. She was crying.”

This incident comes just seven months after the tragic assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk, who was fatally shot at Utah Valley University.

The events bear haunting echoes of the fateful day in September last year, although no fatalities were reported out of DC.

But President Trump confirmed that a Secret Service agent wearing a protective vest was shot.

Cole Tomas Allen, 31, an educator from the Los Angeles area, has now been identified as the suspect in Saturday’s shooting and faces firearms and assault charges.

Police revealed the suspect had a number of weapons on him, including a shotgun, handgun and multiple knives.

It is believed Cole may have been a guest at the Hilton hotel where the event was taking place.

Trump shared an image shortly afterwards, showing the suspect shirtless and lying face down on the ground, describing him as a ‘sick person – a very sick person’ during a press conference.

‘He’s a lone wolf, a whack job. These are crazy people. Sick, sick people,’ he said at a White House briefing shortly after.

Dramatic video shows the suspect sprinting past a security checkpoint and attempting to reach the doors to the ballroom.

Wolf Blitzer, who was inside the venue and just feet away from the shooter, told CNN the suspect was armed with a ‘major weapon’ and fired around six shots.

‘Apparently they got the gunman, he had a major weapon there, it was so worrisome. The noise was so loud. I was a few feet away from the gunman who was shooting randomly, half a dozen shots they were so loud,’ Blitzer said.

DC’s biggest night of the year was thrown into chaos after gunfire erupted in the Washington Hilton lobby at about 8.15pm, where Trump was attending for the first time since 2015 and was set to be honored and speak.

Asked whether he believed he was the target, the President said: ‘I guess.’

As guests ducked under tables by the hundreds, Secret Service agents and other authorities swarmed the banquet hall, with one person heard shouting, ‘Out of the way, sir.’

Cabinet members were lifted in the air over a barricade and dragged to safety.

In a statement to the Daily Mail, a White House spokesperson said: ‘The US Secret Service, in coordination with the Metropolitan Police Department, is investigating a shooting incident near the main magnetometer screening area at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner.’

‘One individual is in custody. The condition of those involved is not yet known, and law enforcement is actively assessing the situation,’ the statement added.

The President took to social media to share an update immediately after he was made safe.

‘Quite an evening in DC Secret Service and Law Enforcement did a fantastic job. They acted quickly and bravely,’ the President wrote on Truth Social.

FBI Director Kash Patel was in attendance as the Daily Mail’s guest and sprang into action

‘The shooter has been apprehended, and I have recommended that we “LET THE SHOW GO ON” but, will entirely be guided by Law Enforcement. They will make a decision shortly,’ he added.

‘Regardless of that decision, the evening will be much different than planned, and we’ll just, plain, have to do it again.’

However, the event ended up being canceled and Trump decamped to the White House where he delivered a press conference.

Shocking Assault: Man Arrested for Brutal Baseball Bat Attack on Ex-Wife in Her Sleep

Inset: Frederick Harroff (Columbiana Prosecutor”s Office). Background: The area near where Harroff tried to kill his ex-wife with a baseball bat in Columbiana, Ohio (Google Maps).

An Ohio man is facing several decades in prison for a violent assault on his former wife, which initially involved a baseball bat last summer.

In late March, Frederick L. Harroff, aged 66, admitted guilt to charges including attempted murder, aggravated arson, felonious assault, kidnapping, and strangulation stemming from the severe attack in June 2025.

On Friday, Judge Scott Washam of the Columbiana County Common Pleas Court sentenced Harroff to at least 39 years in prison, with the possibility of extending the term to 44 and a half years if deemed necessary by prison authorities.

During the proceedings, the victim recounted how her ex-husband employed more than just a baseball bat in his attempt to end her life, as reported by The Review, a daily publication from East Liverpool, Ohio.

The woman testified that Harroff wrapped a rope around her neck, attempted to strangle her with his hands, tried to bind her, and ultimately set her house ablaze, all while threatening her with imminent death.

“An entire hour, I fought for my life,” she said.

Ultimately, the woman’s story was moving – prompting the judge to issue a sentence far in excess of what the state recommended. Prosecutors had asked for a sentence of 20 to 25 1/2 years.

“His conduct was truly vicious and horrific,” Washam said.

On June 2, 2025, just after 10 p.m., the attack began when the woman was lying in bed. Earlier, Harroff took several pills, left, came back, issued a threat, and started beating her with a wooden baseball bat.

“I have nothing to live for, you’re not going to live either,” the woman recalled the since-condemned man telling her as the violence began. “I’m going to burn this place down and we’re both going to die.”

Covered in blood and bruises, however, the woman was able to escape out the back door and make it to a neighbor’s house.

Inside, police found a crimson-soaked bed with a bloody rope strewn about. Meanwhile, the defendant fled the scene of the crime. He was arrested – covered in blood and burn marks – hiding in the woods some 100 yards away from his trailer on Columbiana-Lisbon Road.

“He is an evil, cruel, malicious monster,” the woman testified during the sentencing hearing. “He has shown no remorse.”

The defendant offered contrition during an allocution.

“I never wanted to see her hurt,” Harroff said. “I take responsibility for everything that happened that night. I don’t remember all that happened. I was not in my right mind.”

In assessing the lengthy sentence, the court took note of the defendant’s military service, decades of steady employment, mental health and suicide attempts, and prior lack of a criminal record.

“Unfortunately that changed dramatically on June 2, 2025,” Washam said.

The victim also testified that her light changed that night. Her family also testified during the sentencing hearing.

“He did not win,” the woman’s niece said, striking a positive note. “He did not break her and he did not break us.”

Pauline Hanson Leads Demonstration Advocating for Halt on Mass Immigration

A rally in Canberra has urged the cessation of widespread immigration into Australia.

Several hundred people assembled on the parliamentary grounds, adorned with the national flag, to hear One Nation leader Pauline Hanson, who received an enthusiastic reception akin to that of a rockstar.

Hanson addressed the crowd, questioning the absence of more political figures: “Politicians, you might get a few of us down here, but then again, where are the rest of the bastards, why aren’t they here?”

In the vicinity, Opposition Leader Angus Taylor commented on ABC’s Insiders, expressing concerns that the current migration levels have exceeded even Labor’s own targets.

Taylor emphasized that while the Coalition would prioritize migrants from liberal democracies, they would remain inclusive of others.

“Many good people come from bad countries, but there is a higher risk that some bad people will come from those bad countries,” he said.

Nationals leader Matt Canavan also addressed the protest on the lawn of parliament, saying: “You don’t share our values? You’re getting deported. You’re going back overseas.”

Organisers say there will be more of these rallies across the country in the coming months.

In the meantime, it is a smaller group of Australian citizens causing headaches for the government.

Minister Chris Bowen said the government was providing “absolutely zero assistance to them”.

“That is not something this government will be doing,” he said.

The group, made up of women and children, are Australian citizens and will likely face domestic charges upon arrival back home.

Health Minister Mark Butler told Sky News: “If they manage to get to Australian borders and have committed any sort of crime, they’ll be met with the full force of the law at those borders.”

Knicks’ Jalen Brunson Addresses Viral Sideline Exchange with Father: ‘Nothing Serious

ATLANTA — It turned into a family moment.

In the closing quarter of the Knicks’ decisive 114-98 victory over the Hawks on Saturday night at State Farm Arena, a lively exchange unfolded on the sidelines between Knicks player Jalen Brunson and his father, assistant coach Rick Brunson, despite the game being nearly concluded.

The duo engaged in a spirited discussion, gesturing energetically before Jalen eventually moved on.

When questioned about the nature of their interaction, Jalen Brunson dismissed any notion of disagreement, stating, “there’s no debate there.”

So, what exactly was the exchange about?

“That was two competitors,” he said.

Brunson struggled with his shot, as he has for most of this series.

He finished with 19 points on 7-for-18 shooting from the field and 3-for-7 shooting from 3-point range and also committed six turnovers.

He also exited and went back to the locker room during the third quarter after Dyson Daniels fell on his ankle while fighting for a loose ball.

He returned later in the quarter.

And soon after, he was barking at his father.

Exploring the Impact of Matlock’s Season 3 Time Jump Following Significant Schedule Adjustment

Matlock fans should brace themselves for more than just a shift in the show’s airtime—there’s also a leap forward in the storyline.

According to the show’s creator, Jennie Snyder Urman, the third season will kick off with a significant time lapse. In an interview with Deadline, Urman revealed, “We won’t be picking up immediately after the events of the second season finale. We’re looking at a jump of about six months to a year.”

Urman reiterated this point during a conversation with TVLine, hinting at changes for Matty (Kathy Bates) and Olympia (Skye P. Marshall), who will find themselves navigating a new workplace environment.

She elaborated, “We’re talking about a modest time leap—somewhere between six to nine months—not a massive jump like five years where everything is unrecognizable. It’s a fresh start, but not an instant continuation from last season.”

Before the season 2 finale, it was confirmed that Matlock is returning for a third season — but will go through a schedule change after a “complete reset” for the show.

“I asked for it with the network. We had a talk,” Urman told TV Insider. “I just feel like we had so much stuff to think about because we really landed the plane on this, and we really thought that was important because we didn’t want to keep dragging out the same story, and the characters have to get to someplace real emotionally.”

Urman confirmed that season 2 would wrap up the Wellbrexa story line, which meant a complete “reset” for the series.

“When we took this two-hour finale and really paid a lot of things off, what came with that was I’m going to need time after that to really build the architecture so that we have it for the next seasons,” she teased. “I’m excited about it, but I am also grateful because we needed a little bit of time.”

Urman addressed possible disappointment from viewers, adding, “Sad for audiences, but actually really good for me and the writers because I want us to plot this new mystery and make sure it’s airtight.”

She continued: “We had a lot of pieces going in, so we really had to create this new piece of it. I feel lucky that the network’s giving us time to get it right because I don’t want the quality to drop.”

CBS previously announced its schedule on April 15 with viewers noticing some substantial changes. Ghosts, Matlock and NCIS: Sydney received a shakeup by having their premieres moved to 2027 for midseason. They will join the new show Einstein, which is finally premiering in 2027 as well.

Matlock’s time slot will be given to Elsbeth to allow Cupertino to premiere on the same night. NCIS: Sydney, meanwhile, is moving to midseason as NCIS: Origins — which received a shorter episode order — takes over to pair off with NCIS: New York.

Influencer Kayla Itsines Matches Margot Robbie in Net Worth Rankings

Fans of Kayla Itsines and Margot Robbie were taken by surprise on Monday when news broke that the fitness influencer’s earnings rival those of the Hollywood actress.

At 33, Kayla Itsines has secured the 34th spot on the 2024 Australian Financial Review Young Rich list. Meanwhile, Margot Robbie, known for her role in “Barbie” and also 34, is just a few spots ahead at position 31.

Kayla’s impressive $171 million net worth comes from a mix of online brand partnerships, real estate ventures, and her popular fitness platform, Sweat, which has a million subscribers paying $24.99 monthly.

On the other hand, Margot Robbie, who recently welcomed her first child, has amassed a fortune of $191 million. Her wealth primarily stems from her acting career in blockbuster films and a burgeoning collection of luxury properties.

The Sweat app, a cornerstone of Kayla’s success, was co-founded with her former fiancé, Tobi Pearce. He is now married to Rachel Dillon, another fitness mogul and passive investor, who ranks just below Itsines at number 35 on the Young Rich list.

The Sweat app, formerly known as Bikini Body Guide, charges members a hefty subscription fee in exchange for fitness and meal plans as well as shopping lists and exercise advice from Kayla herself.

Kayla and Tobi sold the company back in 2021 in a $400million deal to US software giant iFIT, but later bought it back for a reported fraction of the price.

According to the Influencer Marketing Hub, Kayla is also considered one of Australia’s top influencers, and can charge between $37,700 and $62,900 per sponsored post on her 15.8million follower strong Instagram account.

Kayla Itsines and Margot Robbie fans were left stunned on Monday when it was revealed the influencer makes just as much money as the Hollywood star

Meanwhile, Kayla’s rich list neighbour Margot has reached phenomenal success in recent years following the release of her smash blockbuster hit Barbie last year.

Notably, as both a producer and lead in Barbie, the former Neighbours star is said to have earned nearly $80million from the movie, including her salary and box office incentives, according to Variety.

Margot has ascended to A-list status in Hollywood following 15 years in the movie and television industry, working alongside the likes of Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Nicole Kidman, Will Smith and Ryan Gosling.

Raking in her income through online brand deals, real estate investment, and her fitness app Sweat, which charges its one million members $24.99 a month, Kayla boasts an eye-popping net worth of $171million

Securing herself among Hollywood’s highest paid actresses, the thespian easily rakes in multi-million dollar movie deals for each new feature film she stars in.

In addition to acting and producing, Margot has also taken on brand deals with companies like Calvin Klein, Nissan and Chanel.

The award-winning actress has also forayed into the world of real estate with her husband Tom Ackerley, after the pair purchased their first property together in the wealthy Hancock Park, LA in 2017.

They later listed the property for sale in June 2021 for $3.4million, with Margot also selling off an investment property that same year for $1.2million after purchasing the Hollywood Heights bungalow for $950,000 in 2017.

In 2019, Margot purchased a Venice Beach compound for $5million in an off-market deal, which is currently undergoing renovations that will reportedly increase the home’s worth to over $15million.

Meanwhile, Australian actress Margot, who recently gave birth to her first baby boy, sits at a nearby $191million net worth, which she earned by starring in blockbuster movies and building a modest real estate portfolio of luxury homes

Father of DUI victim by undocumented immigrant cautions Americans on lenient driver’s license regulations

The father of a woman from Illinois, tragically killed by an illegal immigrant in a DUI incident, is sounding the alarm for Americans amidst the ongoing discussion on tightening driver’s license regulations.

During a recent debate for California’s gubernatorial race, Katie Porter, a Democrat, declared her intention to oppose the Trump administration. This statement came when she was questioned on whether English proficiency should be a requirement for truck drivers.

Porter’s remarks come in the wake of several deadly accidents involving illegal immigrant drivers. One such incident involves Harjinder Singh, who, according to the Department of Homeland Security, allegedly performed an illegal U-turn on the Florida Turnpike in August, resulting in a crash with three fatalities.

The Department of Homeland Security initiated Operation Midway Blitz to pay tribute to Katie Abraham, who lost her life in a hit-and-run by an illegal immigrant in Illinois. This operation was conducted in collaboration with her father, Joe Abraham.

In another recent tragic event, Bekzhan Beishekeev, an illegal immigrant from Kyrgyzstan who entered the U.S. during the Biden administration, is accused of failing to stop for a slowing semi-truck. He allegedly veered into oncoming traffic, colliding with a van carrying up to 15 people, and resulting in four deaths, as reported by DHS.

Joe Abraham, whose daughter was killed by an illegal immigrant drunken driver, warned Americans in an interview with Fox News Digital about the dangers of allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses — commercial or otherwise — without proper vetting.

“What happens is the outcomes are like what my family’s suffering through right now. So you take away these guardrails, you nullify federal law and then you implement no real process, an upfront process to understand who’s coming into our communities. Are they vetted, they were not. Were they health screened? No, the guy who killed Katie had HIV, no one even identified him until he was incarcerated,” he said.

Abraham’s daughter, Katie, was killed in a drunken driving hit-and-run crash that involved an illegal immigrant in 2025 in Urbana, Illinois. Julio Cucul-Bol, an illegal immigrant, was sentenced to 30 years in prison after he crashed into her car and fled the scene.

“Let’s figure out where those cracks are and tighten them up. But if you have a process, and I’ve been talking about this since Katie’s death, you cannot just say, everyone is my neighbor,” he said.

Abraham said at the very least, knowledge of the English language should be a requirement.

“It seems really common sense-wise, and I know that our politicians today struggle with common sense. I don’t know if they try to outsmart their common sense or if it’s just straight up ideology and power. But it seems to me that if you’re on the roads, not only should you know the language and be able to read the signs and understand the flow, but you should be assimilated in some way,” Abraham said.

The Illinois resident said his daughter was a “beautiful person” with a “sharp wit.”

“She was so personable. Her personality was so engaging, made everyone feel seen, heard, cared for, compassionate, fair-minded. She loved the water. She was a water polo player. She was a competitive swimmer. Did that all through high school. She had her whole life ahead of her. And see, you know, like a sponge, she soaked in life, every piece of it, and she was only 20. We still had so many plans ahead of us that were, you know, that are just gone because of reckless policies,” he added.
