Terence Creative Resigns as DCCAK Secretary General Months After Suspension

Kenyan comedian Terence Creative has announced his resignation as Secretary General of the Digital Content Creators Association of Kenya (DCCAK), months after the association says he was suspended from the position.

Terence announced his departure on Monday, November 2, 2026, through a statement shared on his social media platforms, saying his resignation took effect immediately.

In a letter addressed to the association’s chairperson and executive committee, the comedian thanked the organisation for giving him an opportunity to serve in the leadership role.

“I hereby tender my resignation as Secretary General of the Digital Content Creators Association of Kenya (DCCAK), effective immediately. Thank you for the opportunity to serve the Association,” he wrote.

Despite stepping down, Terence maintained that he remained committed to supporting creatives and promoting opportunities within Kenya’s digital content industry.

“My commitment to creative empowerment remains strong. I will continue supporting creators through skills development, mentorship and opportunities that promote sustainable livelihoods in Kenya’s creative economy,” he added.

Following Terence’s announcement, DCCAK issued a statement providing further details about his exit from the leadership position.

The association disclosed that the comedian had been suspended from his role on May 2, 2026, several months before he publicly announced his resignation.

DCCAK also revealed that Joan Wanjiku Waweru had been appointed acting Secretary General following his suspension.

The clarification added a new dimension to Terence’s announcement, which initially presented his departure as a voluntary decision to step away from the position.

Terence has built a name for himself in Kenya’s digital entertainment scene through comedy skits and characters inspired by everyday experiences.

He is particularly known for characters such as Kamami, which have helped him establish a substantial online following.

Beyond entertainment, his involvement in DCCAK placed him in a leadership role within an organisation seeking to advance the interests of digital content creators.

Loose Women star says ‘some of us are closer than others’ in ‘honest’ admission

A Loose Women panellist has made an "honest" admission about her co-stars, saying "some of us are closer" than others. Kéllé Bryan has enjoyed a varied career over the years, most notably as one of the founding members of girl group Eternal, and has also dipped her toes into soap and stage acting.

Away from the worlds of Hollyoaks and EastEnders, however, Kéllé has been a panellist on the beloved ITV talk show since 2019. Known for frank debate on the biggest talking points of the day, Loose Women is also renowned for turning fiery at times.

And with a rotating panel, it's natural for friendships to form among the women. Kéllé confirmed this in a recent interview, admitting that it's "just like in any other work scenario".

Asked if she missed her fellow panellists over the summer break, Kéllé told Heat magazine: "Absolutely, but to be honest, some of us are closer to each other than other people. Obviously, it's just like in any other work scenario.

She revealed that she "hooked up" with Judi Love, Brenda Edwards and Charlene White over the summer. Kéllé explained that she's been working with Brenda on behalf of her late son Jamal's charity.

Kéllé added: "I've been mentoring some young people for her during the summer. It's been amazing, just watching them progress and seeing the work that she does for the trust. It's been wonderful to be a part of."

It follows reports that fellow panellist Gloria Hunniford appeared to admit she has no plans to retire, as she marked 80 years in showbusiness on an episode of Loose Women this week.

Speaking on Monday's episode (November 2), Gloria was joined by Coleen Nolan, Ruth Langsford and Jane Moore for the tribute, which took the form of a special segment. Gloria said: "You're probably saying, 'Why doesn't she retire?"

She went on to say: "You have to be practical when you get to the 80s because, heaven forbid, but I've been lucky not to have anything seriously wrong.

"But if you have an illness or something, then, of course, that helps you make a decision. But at the minute, hey, you're stuck with me!"

In the episode, Gloria walked down memory lane, recalling her move to London as a mum-of-three. She admitted she never thought of herself as a "trailblazer".

She said: "I didn't think of it like that. Because I was a housewife with three children by that stage and I always thought of myself as a mum first and foremost. But here I am with this challenge, and I was excited about doing it, but I was too busy learning how to do it."

‘Heartbreaking’ BBC drama dubbed ‘best show in a while’ leaves fans in tears

BBC viewers have been told to 'stop everything' and watch this 'absolutely beautiful' drama.

Fans of the 2025 show accidentally stumbled upon it on iPlayer, and they claim it is 'one of the best series in a while'. It was originally released on BBC Three last April and impressively won the BAFTA TV Award for Emerging Talent: Fiction.

We are referring to Just Act Normal, a touching coming-of-age drama written by award-winning playwright Janice Okoh. The six-part show follows three siblings as they try to 'act normal' after their mother disappears, fearing they might be separated and sent into foster care if anyone found out the truth.

Rising stars Chenée Taylor (playing Tiana), Kaydrah Walker-Wilkie (as Tanika) and Akins Subair (portraying Tionne) lead the cast for this Birmingham-set series. An official synopsis teases: "When their mum disappears, Tiana, Tionne, and Tanika fight to hide the truth from the outside world in order to stay together as a family.

"As Tiana struggles to keep their regular lives afloat, Tionne displaces his grief, and Tanika tries to convince her teacher to adopt them, chaos erupts when their mum’s hapless drug dealer, Dr Feelgood, moves in."

It adds: "The series is an irreverent portrait of black working-class teenage life. A coming-of-age story of sorts. The first times, the f***-ups, and the excruciating desire to be more grown up than you’re ready to be.

"It’s a celebration of black joy, of council estates, and corner shops. Of working-class living and working-class dreams. It is human and tender, with a thumping great heart." The cast is completed by seasoned actress Romola Garai, TV stars Sam Buchanan and Ivanno Jeremiah, alongside singer Jamelia and Hollyoaks' Jennifer Metcalfe.

Although the drama flew under the radar for most BBC viewers, those who caught it upon its release were thoroughly impressed. One X user raved: "#justactnormal is one of the best @BBC dramas I've seen in a long time! Just binged the whole season. Absolutely beautiful acting, directing and writing."

Someone else shared their glowing review on IMDb, saying: "I logged onto BBC iPlayer and this was the first thing that was there on the release date. I hadn't heard anything about it, but I started watching it. This show was honestly amazing. The actors are so talented. It's one of the best things I've watched in a while."

The same person added: " It was so refreshing. It made me both laugh and cry. There were dark and heavy moments and topics, but the heaviness was always balanced with comedy in a really sensitive way. It was incredibly powerful."

A third fan added: "I need everyone to stop what they're doing and watch "Just Act Normal" on BBC iPlayer; absolutely beautiful, so funny and heart-breaking 10/10," while a fourth viewer chimed in: "Needed something short to watch and I ended up binging this show. It's quite amazing; it has a good balance of drama and comedy.

"The acting is wonderful; the storyline is intriguing and not a carbon copy of some other show you have watched."

Ben Hillman has shared an exciting personal update with his followers.

Channel 4's A Place in the Sun has returned with a new season and the second instalment sees presenter Ben Hillman head to the Ionian Sea. Ben has been one of the main hosts of the show since 2016 and he joined the team with a wealth of property knowledge, including running his own interior design business.

After studying Product and Furniture Design at Ravensbourne College, he found early success designing and launching F-LUX lighting, one of the world's first portable LED lights. He has also completed a successful self-build project in Brighton, transforming a 1970s block of flats and adding a new penthouse apartment on the existing flat roof.

Fans are keen to find out more about the handyman's life away from the cameras, and here is all you need to know about his health, family and personal projects.

Back in 2022, Ben ended up in hospital after a horror water slide injury that left him with fractured and dislocated bones. He had been on a family holiday in France when he updated his fans on Instagram, sharing a photo of himself in a hospital bed, with a plate of hospital food.

He wrote: "Not the French cuisine I had in mind for the first day of our family holiday! Managed to acquire an open fracture/dislocation on the water slide." He went into gruesome detail, saying the bone was protruding through his skin.

Offering some advice to his followers, he added: "Word to the wise, don't forget your travel insurance this summer. Have fun out there guys. Hats off to the French healthcare/emergency services." Four weeks on from the accident, he had a metal rod removed from his thumb. Comparing his two hands, he said: "It's going to take some time to get it moving again. My thumb seems to have grown."

Ben Hillman shares updates with his "DIY Girls"

Ben lives in Shoreham-By-Sea with his wife and two children. The TV star has been married to NHS worker Gaby since 2011. The couple share daughters Hope Blossom and Honour Willow, and Ben often shares photos of his family on Instagram.

His daughters often help him out with his renovation work at their home, and he fondly calls them his "DIY girls". Back in 2024, after renovating a bedroom, he shared a photo of himself and his girls hard at work, saying: "This has been a few months in the making, as and when I’ve had time to work on it. It’s been great getting back on the tools though, especially with the DIY girls and for such a special occasion.

"After much designing with the DIY Girls we repainted the pink desk, built a bespoke headboard and redecorated the bedroom before adding a few choice pieces and finishing touches."

Ben updated fans on his Tiny House project

In October 2026, Ben finally sealed the deal on a micro-home he bought at auction in Shoreham, and at the start of November he confirmed he had finally picked up the keys. He filmed the interior of the house, which was looking a little sorry for itself, sharing: "Got the keys to Tiny House today. Instantly regretted it.

"Asbestos in the ceiling, pipes crawling round the walls, a floor that breathes, a lintel that wants me dead… and a boarded-up door nobody can explain. Happy Halloween. Now watch me exorcise the lot." Fans wished him luck on his latest venture, with one commenting: "Congratulations! Let the fun begin! Can't wait to watch your progress @benhillmantv."

In a separate video, he documented the milestone by saying: "A magical moment indeed, it’s completion day and we’ve got the keys to Tiny House." He was heard explaining: "The good news is, I have just completed on Tiny House and the better news than that is I'm in the queue at Disneyland waiting for Ratatouille, awesome."

Ben will continue to document his renovation work at Tiny House on his Instagram account.

Celebrity Traitors winner Bash had ‘secret belief’ he’d make final after being told by witch

In an outcome that most of us didn’t quite see coming, Sebastian ‘Bash’ Croft and Romesh Ranganathan won The Celebrity Traitors on Friday (30 October).

That came after an intense end game with King Kenny and James Blunt following Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Maya Jama’s exit at the final round table.

The final Traitor standing, Kenny, really just lost it at the final hurdle when he voted to end the game. Then, poor James Blunt chose to have another round of voting which pretty much meant he evicted himself from the game as Romesh and Bash stuck together.

But while many of us viewers were surprised to see the actor make it so long (particularly after the Traitors kept considering murdering him), he’d had the trusty prediction from a 'witch' to rely on.

Yep, the Heartstopper star told LADbible that a witch had pretty much confirmed he’d make it to The Celebrity Traitors final.

“I know people aren't that witchy and some people are like, ‘sure, you're in a bad mood because your rising sun is in asparagus, blah, blah, blah’,” Bash tells us.

“But the truth is, I think if you are someone who has witchy tendencies or you're even curious or open, that kind of stuff can be so helpful.”

Apparently, when the 24-year-old spoke with the witch she predicted: “You have an acting job coming up but you're not acting.”

To which he confirmed: “Well there is this thing that's coming up I'm kind of really nervous about it because I don't know how it's going to go.”

Explaining the situation to this witch without quite revealing that it was in fact The Celebrity Traitors: “It's kind of like a game show and you have to kind of try and survive.”

Bash says the witch then asked him when the last filming day was.

“When I told her she asked the spirits and she said ‘you're still going to be there at the end’, and I feel like even if you don't believe in that stuff the fact that I'd been told that was like this small hidden secret belief that I had that genuinely meant I was more relaxed,” he explains.

“I wasn't so worried about going early on because I was like ‘I'm going to be here at the end’ and I think sometimes that like little cuckoo crazy part of my brain that believes in that stuff actually is really helpful because you go like ‘yeah this is going to go well’.”

Bash therefore reckons he stressed ‘less’ during the game because he felt like he’d ‘already achieved it’.

“Then it ends up going better so yeah I’m into being witchy all day every day and she was right,” he adds.

“She's also predicted other stuff in my friends and family's lives, like big stuff.”

Bash also says while he originally wanted to be a Traitor, he’s glad he was picked ass a Faithful.

“I think as an experience it's actually way more fun to play as a faithful because you're so in the dark and you're trying to figure stuff out and you also don't feel that responsible for when people go,” he says.

“I think I could have, and honestly, I would have loved to try being a traitor, but upon reflection I'm very glad I wasn't.”

“Usije Ukasema Sorry”- Mejja Cautions Artists Over Career Risks Of Political Endorsements Ahead of 2027

Veteran Genge artist Mejja has cautioned fellow musicians against abandoning their personal convictions for financial gain when creating political campaign music, urging artists to weigh long-term career risks before accepting political deals.

Speaking during an interview with radio presenter Kwambox on Tuesday, November 3, 2026, the musician addressed the mounting pressure artists face when approached by politicians. When Kwambox presented a hypothetical offer of Ksh 2 million to promote a political message that clashes with an artist’s core beliefs, Mejja questioned the wisdom of taking such money.

“Huwezi kuwa anakuambia nikuambie uende against what you believe alafu ati akupatie 2 million,” Mejja said, emphasizing that personal principles should take precedence over attractive paydays.

Mejja highlighted the severe reputational damage political endorsements can inflict on an artist’s brand, advising musicians to either take full accountability for their choices or turn down the cash entirely.

“Unasema mimi niko na principles zangu, si ndio? Siezi chukua doh,” he stated. “Lakini nasema tu hivi, unaonanga wale hawachukua doh? Naweza sema, chukua pack ya, ikiaribu career yako you will be okay. Usije uimbe alafu tena nikuje nipige tena interviews zingine za kusema sorry.”

His remarks underscore the lasting public backlash artists face when fans feel betrayed by campaign songs, warning musicians against making public apologies later for political alignments they willingly chose.

The discussion comes at a time when political messaging increasingly relies on popular music to mobilize voters, particularly youth demographics. While campaign tracks offer substantial financial payouts and elevated exposure for artists, they also carry the risk of swift public criticism depending on the candidate or platform endorsed.

As political realignments intensify ahead of the 2027 General Election, musicians will face increased scrutiny over their creative choices and political associations. Mejja’s comments bring the balance between artistic integrity and commercial opportunity to the forefront of the entertainment industry.
