It's as though he was never in the jungle There was no mention or footage of self-confessed steroid addict Spencer Matthews during the seventh outing to the I'm a Celebrity camp. It is the squeaky clean reality show where the biggest threat is a glass of Emu juice or plate of Kangeroo's testicles. But  Spencer Matthews' shock steroid addiction is sure to have rocked the I'm A Celebrity camp , with rumours flying around that the Made In Chelsea star begged producers to doll out the class c drugs as he couldn't face going gold turkey on TV. Presenters Ant and Dec only briefly mentioned the 27-year-old's swift exit on Friday's show, saying: "We should tell you that Spencer has unexpectedly left the jungle and he will not be returning to the camp. Adding: "Unfortunately, there is nothing more we can tell you about this." Ant and Dec weren't saying anything It's as if he was never in the jungle On Saturday...

Diego Costa tells Ryan Shawcross he's smelly - becomes even MORE like a child Even by the aggressive, provocative standards of Diego Costa , the Chelsea striker's on-pitch behaviour against Stoke City was particularly bizarre. The Premier League's most popular man (*sarcasm*) had little impact on the  actual game, barely threatening the Stoke goal during his side's 1-0 defeat. That was largely because he spent most of the match having one of his trademark running battles with a big centre-back - this time with Ryan Shawcross. The Stoke captain isn't exactly shy about physical confrontation with opponents, so gave as good as got. Check out the best pictures from Stoke v Chelsea: Even so, Costa reached new levels of childishness when he was caught on camera pointing at his armpit, making a funny face - and clearly suggesting that Shawcross has something of a body odour problem. Very sensibly, the Stoke man simply smiled and wal...

 Detail from William Hogarth’s Gin Lane (1751). Photograph: Burstein Collection/Corbis From William Hogarth’s Gin Lane to deliberately amateurish photos of Gilbert & George at a bar, the seductions of alcohol are a recurring theme in art. A new exhibition serves Nicholas Lezard with sobering images of drinking and drunks. A esthetic considerations, or rather evaluations, need not apply. That’s the point, and consolation, of exhibitions centred on a public theme rather than an artistic one. You get to see the bad as well as the good. Take Tate Britain’s forthcoming display,  Art and Alcohol . Cleverly, having neither the wall space nor the budget to whistle for every artwork depicting drunkenness, Tate’s David Blayney Brown has put together a rather modest collection to illustrate not so much the way alcohol affects art or artists, but the way artists use the subject of alcohol to tell a story. Some artists like telling stories more than others. Ro...

I have been with a guy for two years. He comes from one far-off country; I come from another. In a few months, I will have to go home for visa reasons, to be with my family and start a new job. But he has to stay at his job for now. We love each other and he imagines having a family with me. I love the idea, but couldn’t commit to moving to his country and he couldn’t commit to moving to mine. I would love to visit his and he would love to visit mine, but we couldn’t leave our families for ever. The thought of this hurts, because we could be so happy if it weren’t for location. It seems as if we will have to break up when I go home, but I’m not sure how to handle it for the next few months. We want to make the most of our time together, but is it just going to make it harder when I say goodbye? It seems impossible to split up right now. •  When leaving a message on this page, please be sensitive to the fact that you are responding to a real person in the grip of a real-life ...

Hello sold 1.1m downloads within seven days of release on 23 October, and also broke records on music video site Vevo Adele’s new single, Hello, has sold 1.1m downloads in the US, and becomes the first song with more than a million downloads within its first week. The single, released on 23 October, is the first from the British performer’s third album, and debuted at No 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, a position she also holds on the UK singles chart. Only one other song has sold more copies in one week since Nielsen Music began counting both digital and physical sales in 1991: Elton John’s Candle in the Wind. The 1997 re-recording, his tribute to Diana, Princess of Wales, sold 3.44m copies in its first week on sale in the October of that year, with another 1.2m the following week. However, those sales came before the digital download era. Adele  is due to perform at Radio City Music Hall in New York on 17 November in advance of the global release of her new album, 25, ...

The Photograph singer has raked in £6.2million halfway through his 17-month X Tour Ed Sheeran is raking it in with his mammoth world tour Scruffy  superstar Ed Sheeran  is trousering a staggering £63,000 a show during his marathon world tour. The laid-back singer has raked in £6.2million halfway through his 17-month X Tour. And he can expect his fortune to grow further after the release of concert film Jumpers For Goalposts. It was shot over  three nights at Wembley Stadium  this summer, when he played to a total of 270,000 people. But there is little chance of Ed letting the money go to his tousled red head. He revealed he gives himself a modest £1,000 spending money a month and still uses the same bank account he had as a teenager. He said: “I’ve not upgraded because I don’t spend much money. If I had all my money in one account I would spend all of it, so I get an allowance. Ed Sheeran performs at Wembley Stadium "Maybe a grand. I spen...
