Marvel Rivals’ hero balance updates don’t seem to touch this hero and perhaps they never will.

IT certainly caused plenty of controversy when it aired earlier this year, but Channel 4’s latest social experiment didn’t quite get enough viewers to warrant a second series.

Go Back to Where You Came From saw a group of six Brits with various views on immigration undertake the perilous journeys made by people from other countries desperate to live in the UK.

The four-parter was designed to inform their views on refugees who were often coming from war-torn countries.

But many of their standpoints – and some of their historic social media comments – got viewers hot under the collar.

Unfortunately, it wasn’t enough to keep them glued to their sets. The first episode had almost a million watching, but the last episode they’d lost over a third of their audience.

A TV insider said: “Of course, Channel 4 will maintain they only made this as a stand alone show but the scope to continue the show with another batch of Brits was obvious.

“If the ratings were higher then it might well have had a sequel but it didn’t seem to capture the viewers imagination, even if some of the contestants’ views did inspire a fiery response.”

The Sun exclusively revealed last July how Channel 4 was developing the show in a bid to explore one of the hottest topics in British society.

Based on a 2011 Australian show of the same name, it saw them travel from Somalian capital Mogadishu and Raqqa in Syria, eventually crossing the Channel on a small boat.

A spokeswoman for Channel 4 said: “Go Back to Where You Came From was commissioned as a single series of event television, and we are immensely proud of what it achieved in creating national conversation about a hugely important issue.

“Any allusions to this programme being ‘cancelled’ are entirely false.”

THEIR names are firmly cemented into British pop history.

The original Sugababes line-up of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhan Donaghy have a career spanning three decades, with 18 Top Ten hits including six No1s.

Now the ladies are putting that music know-how to good use, by shunning record labels to steer their own career — and are confident they know best.

The trio are back today with a belting garage-infused single called Jungle, the first taste of their eagerly anticipated new album, which has been almost a decade in the making.

In an exclusive interview with my Bizarre colleague Howell Davies to launch the single, they said Raye, whose career soared after ditching her label and becoming an independent act, has been an inspiration.

Mutya said: “We have so many ideas and so much experience. We know what we want.”

Few and far between

Siobhan explained: “The people at the labels, they don’t necessarily have as much experience as we might have. You know what you want to achieve.

“I think someone like Raye has been really important at getting that message across. She knew who she was and she knew what kind of record she wanted to make.”

Keisha added: “Back when we first got signed, there were people who actually understood who we were. I do think you get the most success when you get with a producer and people who actually understand who you are as an artist.

“But unfortunately, those are few and far between in the industry now.

“I hope that’s encouragement for other artists that actually, if you work really hard and if you really believe in yourself, you can do it when you put the right people around you and you think positively.”

They formed the band in 1998 as schoolgirls, reunited for a headline performance at South London’s Mighty Hoopla in 2022 and were not sure what else would follow.

But since then they have toured around the world and performed at Glastonbury twice – both times causing chaos as so many fans flocked to see them. You can see why they would want to do things differently this time, as they have been badly burned in the past.

The trio originally reunited in 2012 under the name MKS — using their initials as they battled to win back the rights to the band’s name — and recorded an album.

But they were devastated when someone close to them leaked it and they went their separate ways, eventually putting the project online in 2022 as The Lost Tapes.

Reflecting on it now, Siobhan said: “That really was such a huge setback for us. It’s so much work for an artist.

“That was like a year and a half of our work in the studio. MKS, that whole project for us was such an uphill battle.

“And so for it to leak and to not have had the support within the industry from people that were supposed to have our backs, was really demotivating.

“We had to come back and find the energy to start from zero again. That took a minute. But thankfully, that’s just not where we’re at now.”

This time around, they are determined to do things their way and not let anyone push them around.

Keisha explained: “We’re really grateful. When you’re young and you’re busy, you feel quite overwhelmed. You don’t have control of your schedule.

“Back in the day, they would just put things in your schedule and then that was it.

“But now it’s like, ‘Hi girls, do you want to do this?’ And we work it around our personal lives and everything else.

“It’s been a long road, you know, the MKS years and stuff like that. Everything we are doing now is everything and more that we hoped it would be when we first got back together.”

Siobhan added: “We’re still really hungry for it, but also, as Keisha said, so thrilled as to how it’s gone.”

And the proof is in the pudding. Next month they will kick off their biggest-ever European arena tour.

The new song will fit right in with their incredible back catalogue, featuring hits such as Round Round, Freak Like Me and Push The Button.

They have long had jokes made about them because of what became a revolving line-up in Sugababes.

The original members were replaced before an entirely different trio split in 2011.

They scoff and roll their eyes at those gags now and feel like their longevity speaks for itself.

No matter how successful you become, there’s always someone that’s going to doubt or say things.

Keisha Buchanan

Asked if their success feels like a middle finger to their critics, Keisha said: “I do think our journey from the beginning has not always been an easy one.

“Being a band that was mixed race, you know, Jamaican, Filipino, Irish, we’ve always had to work a little bit more.

“No matter how successful you become, there’s always someone that’s going to doubt or say things. What’s really nice is that you don’t even have to put the middle finger up. They can see it themselves.”

It’s clear they have rebuilt a friendship even stronger than the first time ar- ound. During our chat, they get distracted talking about plans to see Mariah Carey at Brighton Pride in August before their headline set the next day, and joke about antics at Glasto last summer.

Keisha said with a laugh: “We were going to see D-Block Europe — Sugababes,  Damon Albarn and Kano, walking through the highways and byways with heels on. Mutya had heels and the purse.”

Mutya said: “Why didn’t I have flats? I could have at least left the purse!”

Now they are feeling more confident than ever and have teamed up with John Shave, one of the top producers behind Charli XCX’s multi-Grammy and Brit Award-winning album Brat, as well as songwriter Anya Jones, who has worked with Kylie Minogue.

Their new tune Jungle is an instant earworm and I’ve already heard a few more tracks from their upcoming album, including the third single which is Sugababes at their very best pop potential.

Keisha said: “The Sugababes’ first singles are always very different. We wanted to go for something that wasn’t obvious. We wanted it to be fresh, something people weren’t expecting.”

It has been a rollercoaster ride so far, but things are looking sweeter than ever for the Sugababes.

HE gave us one of TV’s greatest villains in the form of EastEnders’ Nasty Nick – but despite loathing his character, actor John Altman says he loved the edgy show it produced.

Now he fears that our woke world is diluting the punchiness of some of our best loved shows, particularly when we’re even getting trigger warnings on old school sitcoms.

John, who’s starring in new horror film The Last Grail Hunter, said: “I watched an old episode of EastEnders recently and I couldn’t believe the content of the dialogue. It was unbelievable, really.

“You’d never allow people to use it these days, even though it was real what Nick Cotton was saying – he’s a racist, drug dealing, murderer.”

John shot to fame in 1985 playing Nasty Nick, the wayward son of long-suffering Dot Cotton played by June Brown.

In that time he’s seen the Tv landscape drastically change, including the introduction of trigger warnings at the start of some shows.

He said: “All that stuff, ‘the content of this programme might upset some people’, I doubt it upsets anyone to be quite honest. Let alone the people they might think they’re upsetting.

“You see some old Only Fools and Horses and Del Boy saying certain phrases that you wouldn’t use now, but that’s what they were using and people still do.

“I saw that a university has gone through the works of Shakespeare and eliminated 300 items, or cut them out, or put them on a warning list. Unbelievable! I never thought it would come to that.”

Keir: Isle be back for love

THE Apprentice candidate Keir Shave has opened up about his relationship status for the first time since it emerged he enjoyed a secret fling with fellow contestant Amber-Rose Badrudin.

The hunk who was fired on last night’s show, was accused by TV bosses of breaking the show’s strict “no touching” rule with Amber-Rose after the pair were spotted half-naked together in a hotel room during filming.

But Keir insisted he is very single and wouldn’t mind going back on TV to try and find love.

He said: “I would go on Love Island – 100 per cent. If anyone from Love Island reads this – get me on!

“I am concentrating on the business but . . . if Love Island calls then I am in.”

Aimee Lou Wood’s latest accounts reveal £1.7m equity and £609k in taxes paid over two years[/caption]

SHE’S currently busier than ever, starring in two huge dramas – Sky’s The White Lotus and Netflix’s Toxic Town.

But it’s Aimee Lou Wood’s bank balance that shows just how much of a hit she is in TV land.

Her latest accounts show she has equity to the value of £1.7million and has paid a total of £609,000 in tax in 2023 and 2024 – that would suggest she earned a whopping £2.4m during that period.

Not bad for an actress who only got her big break six years ago on Netflix’s Sex Education.

Though she still has some catching up to do with her co-stars Asa Butterfield and current Doctor Who Ncuti Gatwa, who have been multimillionaires for some time now.

However, she has some more money-spinning shows on the horizon, including BBC Three comedy drama Film Club with Suranne Jones and upcoming film Sweet Dreams.

property guru Sarah Beeny has opened up about her breast cancer diagnosis – saying she did not want it to “own” her life.

She was given the all-clear in 2023 and the same year made a Channel 4 documentary about her experience.

Sarah said: “I didn’t want anything to change because of cancer. I didn’t want to be able to say: ‘Oh, that was like this before cancer, and I was like this after cancer.’

“I thought: ‘No, you’re not owning that, cancer’.”

Ariana Grande is set to have pulled in £30million[/caption]

US singer The Weeknd, who was the second most streamed artist on the platform, earned around £39.8million in royalties.

Wicked’s Ariana Grande is set to have pulled in £30million for her music and Bruno Mars saw his streams rack in £25million.

Taylor had previously pulled her music from the platform in a row over pay.

The amount that artists are paid will depend on their individual record label deals.

Spotify’s Loud and Clear report stated the number of artists generating royalties between $1,000 (£770) and $10million tripled since 2017.

The payout by Spotify is said to be the largest in music industry history — after it was slammed for taking advantage of artists.

In 2014, Taylor removed her catalogue from Spotify, saying: “It’s my opinion music should not be free.” It was re-added in 2017, the same year her album Reputation came out.

This year, a number of singers boycotted Spotify’s Grammy party, in protest of the royalty policy.

Spotify said: “We do not pay artists or songwriters directly. We pay rights-holders.

“They then pay artists and songwriters based on their individual agreements.”
