A NEW unlikely friendship on I'm a Celebrity has been revealed - and it's likely Maura Higgins won't be happy. Tonight viewers saw GK Barry and Reverend Richard Coles grow closer, with them both confessing to being each other's favourite campmate. It's after late arrivals Rev Richard and Maura were dubbed the show's "best ever duo" during their time in Jungle Junkyard. The pair bonded as they lied through their teeth to convince the main camp they were living in squalor. They then brilliantly worked together to tackle six courses at the Terrifying Teddy Bear Picnic in a gruelling Bushtucker Trial. Ex-Love Islander Maura , 33, faced snacks including a goat’s testicle, cow teats and bull’s penis. Richard, 62, gagged on blended fermented herring as the ten other celebs watched and laughed. However, GK Barry and the TV personality couldn't help but open up to each other about their personal lives in camp. After their hilarious conversation, the Loose Women star reflected on her newfound friendship in the Bush Telegraph. GK remarked: "I came into this jungle, maybe not knowing who I would gel with or who I would be close with in here and never in a million years if you told me that I would be getting on best with a reverend would I have believed you. "But, he is honestly... I think he might be my favourite person in here." It's clear viewers think they have found the next dynamic duo on the long-running ITV show. Writing on X - formerly known as Twitter - one fan wrote: "GK BARRY AND RICHARD IS THE DUO I NEVER KNEWI NEEDED!" Another excitedly stated: "Richard and GK Barry are an ITV Travel doc waiting to happen. Great TV." "GK Barry and Rev Richard need to have their own podcast. That whole conversation was brilliant," exclaimed a third. As a fourth viewer commented: "Obsessed with this gk barry and reverend richard duo." And a fifth added: "One of those ITV travel shows but it’s Reverend Richard Coles and GK Barry, please. Maybe they can go visit different iconic queer locations around the world. You’re welcome."

Kids are often pretty good at being consumers. If you’re a parent with a small business, you have the opportunity to show your kids firsthand what it means to be a producer. Small Business Saturday, which takes place on Nov. 30 this year, may be a great time to do just that. Small Business Saturday was established by American Express in 2010 and encourages consumers to patronize their local stores as a way to keep dollars circulating within their community. Here are three reasons you should consider getting your kids involved in Small Business Saturday, according to two mompreneurs. It teaches them positive work values Ronne Brown is the owner of HERLISTIC, a plant-derived beauty and feminine care brand in Washington, D.C. She’s been participating in Small Business Saturday since she established her business in 2020. The entrepreneur gets her kids (ages 24, 18 and 12), plus her bonus daughter, 10, to help out on Small Business Saturday and beyond. Brown’s kids help with customer service, shipping and fulfillment tasks. That could include counting inventory, quality control or packaging boxes. Other times, help looks like Brown’s 12-year-old daughter keeping her up-to-date with TikTok trends and influencers in the beauty field. “I just want them to understand the price and the value of a dollar and what it actually costs to make it,” Brown says. The mompreneur also hopes her kids learn the benefits of commitment and hard work. “What I want to show them is that you have to work hard every day. And there are gonna be moments where you’re gonna be tired, you’re gonna be exhausted, and you’re not gonna want to do things, and you’re going to have to push through,” she says. It creates an opportunity to earn money Hiring your kids to do legitimate work during Small Business Saturday provides a chance for them to learn pillars needed for a strong financial foundation: earning money , saving money and investing. That said, before hiring kids, it’s critical to understand the child labor laws for your state in addition to the IRS’ rules around hiring kids. Related Articles Brown says she pays all of her children, including her 24-year-old son who is on payroll. Additionally, she teaches them about investing in the stock market. “I want them to understand the importance of making money, but also investing the money that they’re making,” she says. “Because when I pay them, I always ask them, ‘so what are you gonna do to double this money?’” If you hire your minor kids, they could get a headstart on investing by putting some of their income into a custodial Roth IRA , which requires earned income to open. You could also open them a custodial brokerage account. Another perk of your kids earning income by working for you is that they may be exempt from paying federal income taxes if they earn less than the standard deduction . In 2024, that threshold is $14,600. It gives you extra hands to deal with demand Having your kids add helping hands, whether it be doing administrative tasks or helping customers, can ensure you keep up with a potential increase in sales. A 2024 NerdWallet holiday spending report found that 16% of 2024 holiday shoppers plan to shop on Small Business Saturday this year. Lisset Tresvant, owner of Glow Esthetics Spa in Hollywood, Florida, has been participating in Small Business Saturday since the genesis of her business in 2019. “I do tend to sell more because people are usually more inclined to purchase because of the sales, and it gives them a reason to support us,” she says. To help with the demand, Tresvant’s daughter, 12, and son, 9, fill her skincare products, add labels and help prep items for shipping. Tresvant says she decided to let her kids get involved in her business so they have a better understanding of what she does. Looking beyond Small Business Saturday, hiring your child can also help with succession planning , which is about planning for your departure from your business. Tresvant hopes to pass hers down to her kids one day. “They understand that I’m building this legacy just for not myself, but for them as well,” says Tresvant.

Alyssa Naeher announced her retirement from international soccer quietly, which is how she does most everything save for keeping the ball from crossing the goal line. News coverage of her decision last week reinforced her importance to the U.S. women's national team with a simple statement: No other goalkeeper has recorded a shutout in both a World Cup and an Olympic final. That counts as an impressive achievement (or two). But it risks reducing Naeher’s career to a trivia answer. Her time with the USWNT has been so much more impactful than that. MORE: USWNT wins on Lynn Williams goal in Alyssa Naeher finale Her greatest moment in a USWNT kit did not even come in a championship setting. As with Christian Laettner’s shot in the 1992 NCAA Elite Eight or Joe Montana’s pass touchdown pass to Dwight Clark in the 1982 NFC title game, Naeher’s pinnacle came in a game before The Game. Naeher's save of an 84th-minute penalty kick attempt from England defender Steph Houghton in the semifinal of the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup is in the pantheon of iconic American soccer moments. That indelible play ranks alongside Paul Caliguiri’s goal to qualify the U.S. men for the 1990 World Cup, Brandi Chastain's clinching shootout kick at the 1999 Women’s World Cup and Landon Donovan’s injury-time goal against Algeria at South Africa 2010. Naeher waited until Houghton let slip a tell that suggested the kick would go to the keeper’s right, leaped in that direction and smothered the ball. The 2-1 lead that had been imperiled stood until the end of the match, and the USWNT went on to win their fourth World Cup. “Honestly, she saved our ass,” star forward Alex Morgan said following that game. MORE: Complete USWNT results from 2024, including Olympic gold Naehere's USWNT swan song, which came Tuesday in the Netherlands, was not a shutout. But the 2-1 comeback victory was a quintessential Naeher masterpiece. The 36-year-old goalkeeper produced several essential saves, including another dazzler in the 69th minute on a sliding shot by Danielle van de Donk from six feet out. That stop kept the score tied — and positioned the Americans to take the lead on Lynn Williams' goal 90 seconds later. In the first half, she made a savvy veteran move to go down with an injury — or "injury," perhaps — when the young Americans were besieged by the Dutch attack. That allowed coach Emma Hayes to gather the field players and address their early struggles. That is just the sort of calm, measured, insightful maneuver to be expected from Naeher. MORE: USWNT vs. the Netherlands: Timeline of the rivalry As her international retirement commences, her greatest contribution to the USWNT is more than any one play. She rescued the entire program from the volatility that lurked throughout predecessor Hope Solo’s decade in the lineup. Solo stands as probably the most dynamic keeper ever in the women’s game, as well as an impressive technician as her career advanced. But she also was a persistent problem for U.S. Soccer. From the comments about her semifinal benching, which then got her excluded from the team’s final game at the 2007 World Cup, to the arrest of her husband in 2015 while driving one of the team’s vans, to her postgame harangue of 2016 Olympic opponent Sweden for bunkering and eventually eliminating the U.S. in a penalty shootout – she called the Swedes “a bunch of cowards” – Solo kept the program’s headquarters furiously busy. When the USWNT finally had enough, Naeher was the likely replacement, and yet not an obvious one. She’d made 10 appearances between 2014 and 2016 and was a backup keeper at the 2015 World Cup and 2016 Olympics, but she did not play in either of those tournaments. The only thing she did obviously better than Solo was keep her thoughts to herself. As the program built toward the 2019 World Cup, the talent among the field players might have been the best, or at least closest to the career peak, of any USWNT squad: Alex Morgan at forward, Megan Rapinoe and Tobin Heath on the wings, Julie Ertz owning the defensive midfield and Becky Sauerbrunn a fixture in central defense. The team was so loaded that Lindsey Horan, Christen Press and Carli Lloyd were frequently – or exclusively – deployed as substitutes. The goalkeeper spot, though, seemed less secure, as team legend Brianna Scurry acknowledged: “There’s one difference this World Cup team has, the USA, that no other team previously has had, and that’s a question mark at the goalkeeper position.” Naeher entered the tournament at 31 years old as a two-time All-American in 2007 and 2008 at Penn State, Golden Glove winner for the 2008 FIFA U20 World Cup champs and 2014 Goalkeeper of the Year in the NWSL. Her résumé for the full national team, though, consisted primarily of watching Solo play. She did not start the 2019 World Cup in perfect form, as the late Grant Wahl described when writing about that memorable semifinal penalty save for Sports Illustrated. “Yes, there were worries about Naeher—worries that didn’t abate after she whiffed on a ball that ended up in the net against Chile (but was ruled offside) or after her hospital-ball pass in the back helped gift a goal to Spain in the round of 16," Wahl wrote . "Those worries were compounded when you looked in the stands and saw Solo, dropped from the team in 2016 for reasons outside of soccer, looming over the proceedings from her BBC pedestal.” In her time as the USWNT's No. 1 goalkeeper, Naeher was known for her contemplative approach, for her comfort in solitude. I sat in an outdoor cafe in Reims, France, before the United States’ opening game at the 2019 World Cup. Behind me was a table filled with Megan Rapinoe, defender Ali Krieger, backup goalkeeper Ashlyn Harris and forward Jessica McDonald, all of them eating and chatting following a shopping trip to the cosmetics shop Sephora. In front of me was a table where Naeher sat, alone, working on a crossword puzzle. “As much as I am at peace with the decision – I know that, in my head, it’s the right time and I feel good about it and I feel at peace with it – it’s still the end of something,” Naeher said of her international retirement. “Change is scary. I’m going to miss being a part of these camps and this team.” MORE: Who will take over as starting goalkeeper for the USWNT? Naeher probably could have held the starting job a while longer if she wished. In major tournaments, she allowed just 12 goals in 22 starts. That includes four shutouts in six games at the 2024 Summer Games as the USWNT claimed the fourth Olympic gold medal in program history. Her performance included a leaping save with her left foot off a point-blank header by Germany in the semis, as well as her ridiculous right-handed save off an unchallenged header from Adriana in the final against Brazil. The first of those came in extra time, with the U.S. protecting a 1-0 lead and just seconds away from playing for the gold; the second was delivered in added time to secure the same score and another major tournament triumph. Whatever one thinks of talent or artistry or achievement, it’s hard to argue any U.S. goalkeeper ever produced more essential clutch saves under greater pressure than Naeher. "As soon as the whistle blew," defender Naomi Girma told Yahoo! Sports after the Olympic final against Brazil , "I was like, 'My last sprint of the tournament is to give Alyssa a hug.'" In the end, Naeher was noticed for all the right reasons in her time with the USWNT. Before leaving for the locker room after Tuesday's win, she was presented with a bouquet of flowers. And Girma made sure to hug her again, for one final time on the field of play.The step allows aides and future staffers to obtain security clearances before Inauguration Day.
