Big Walk

A housemate has quit the Big Brother house, a first since ITV revived the long-running reality show. Viewers reacted with shock online, as walking out mid-series had not happened before in the rebooted version. The exit has prompted discussion among fans about pressures inside the house and what the departure means for the current series.

Entertainment Weekly has published a rundown of nine celebrity couples who called off their weddings before the big day, exploring the reasons each engagement ended. The list revisits high-profile breakups and the circumstances that led the pairs to walk away, offering fans a look back at famous romances that never made it down the aisle.

The Federal Reserve has raised interest rates once again, and financial media are walking savers through the practical consequences.

Personal finance outlets are advising depositors to shop around, since big banks often pass on rate hikes to savers more slowly than online banks do.
