S Club 7 star Paul Cattermole forced to put BRIT Award on eBay again after £66,000 sale falls through – as he struggles to pay the bills after being rejected from reality TV
PAUL Cattermole has been forced to re-list his BRIT Award on Ebay after the original buyer failed to cough up. S Club 7 Paul Cattermole is selling his BRIT Award [Getty].
S Club 7 singer Paul Cattermole S Club 7 singer Paul Cattermole selling recently put his Brit Award on eBay to make some money.
The Reach singer, who listed the trophy for £650 originally, was blown away to receive a bid for a whopping £66,100. Unfortunately for the 40 year old, it turns out the incredible bid was nothing but a hoax.
The singers original offer fell through [Wenn]. He just wanted to wreck my sale, Paul told The Mirror. Grab yourself a bargain! Everyone thinks it's sold!. Paul listed the gong, for Best Newcomer in 2000, after falling on hard times.
Hannah Spearitt's ex said he needed to make some cash because he was unable to work following an injury he sustained while taking part in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The group won Best Newcomer in 2000 [Getty].
He added that he had also been rejected from many reality TV shows, and needed to pay his bills.
Speaking about his struggle, he said: Someone said to me, 'Why don't you just not sell the awards and just go into the jungle?' I have asked them many times if they will let me in and they won't have me.
He explained: I'm not famous enough, apparently. But when you look at some of the people they put in, it really is extended friends of famous people. Paul admitted his hes struggling to pay his bills [ITV].
I've been told this by many of these reality TV shows – they just don't want me. They could easily have put me in the jungle. Or the dancing one. Or the ice one..
He added that he never expected his award to get so many bids, adding: "I expected it to go for anything five to 10 [thousand].
"I'll be honest, if it had gone for that, I would have been happy. It just started going crazy.".

【BH Makeup Channel】EP46 Samyang Spicy Ramen Challenge - Duration: 15:41.
Hi everyone, welcome to Baozi & Hana's Food Channel
I bet everyone knew what we will be doing, we have been hinting it for so long
This time we will be eating the SamYang Hot Chicken Ramen!
Honestly, we've dragged this video for such long time since the unboxing
It hasn't been touched since we wanted to use it for the video
One of our employee even stole one without notifying us
And this was her message to us: Yes, it doesn't taste that good, you guys… can try
Also her: I've never tried such terrible instant noodle
Hearing that made me want to try even more, she only said it was terrible but not spicy
She even said it was sweet
She said it was very sweet instead of spicy
Maybe that employee is a spicy food master, but not in our case
Two days ago me and baozi went to eat hot spicy steamboat and we can't even stand it
It was like: Spicy! Spicy! Give me milk!
Did you prepare milk today? Yea… where is it? it's downstairs, go bring it up
So, we heard that the noodle is very spicy, and the both of us are from the south
We are not even good at eating spicy food, so it is even interesting this way! Right?
If you like this kind of videos, please let us know in the comment down below
Remember to subscribe and like!
For this noodle challenge, I believe most youtuber had done it
But still, we will do a short introduction, it is noodle with sauce
You will have to boil the noodle and mix with the sauce! mixed sauce noodle kinda thing
And now we will open the packaging, it has a ramen block
The noodle is thicker than regular ramen noodle, its very thick! and inside
There is also a dried veggie pack, and this is the legendary spicy sauce
This should be sweet, I think, most youtuber says it will be normal if we only put half the sauce
If you put everything, prepare to cry! And today's objective to cry!
So you want to cry? That is the main purpose of this video! If it's only for the sake of testing, why bother buying?
Show everyone , this noodle is really different from what we always eat
This is really thick, compared to those we always eat, we can always eat it without boiling
This feels hard to swallow, ok, without further do, we will boil the noodle now
Ok, we now have our pot, we will cook the noodle now, tada, one, two
Can you finish ? Should be ok! Put the small piece in too, its too wasteful to throw
But you can't eat the crumbs, I'll throw it later
Then the veggies, put it in too
This is not veggie, it's seaweed and sesame, should be garnishes
Ok, now I'll go down and cook the noodles as we can't do it upstairs, I'll do it in the kitchen
I'll bring it up after its done, bye~
Tada! It's now done, it looks disgusting cause I added two eggs
Now we will put the sauce in
This is the garnishes, seaweed and sesame, looks good
This is the spicy sauce! Special sauce, do you want to smell it?
It smells sweet
The second sauce smells like laoganma [china dried chili paste]
Ok, we added everything in. It looks disgusting
We will mix it now
If you don't mix it evenly, some strand will be spicier, am I speaking nonsense
So we will eat it from here
Who will take the first bite? Decide with rock paper scissors
Rock paper scissors
You're welcome, I'll give you a big piece of ham
I'll eat it myself, don't play, I'll eat myself, if
If?
If it's very spicy, where is the milk?
The milk is downstairs, take a bite first
I'll eat first
What if it's not spicy
You are so brave, such big bite
Spicy! Spicy! Super spicy!
Really? I'll get the milk
Super spicy! I feel like i can breathe fire now, my throat hurts
Drink some water
My throat really hurts!
My throat really hurts
The first bite really hurted my throat, it's better now
Is it that spicy? No, the point is it hurts your throat really bad
I'll eat the egg, are you serious!
What? Its so spicy!
You are so annoying, eat the noodles!
The egg is already so spicy
Eat the noodles, you have to show everyone your face, they can't see you from this angle
OMG! You are so disgusting, don't be so near
It's too spicy, I'm sweating!
Your chin! It's all over your chin so disgusting!
There's no tissue
Where is the employee! Didn't she say that it's not spicy but sweet
I want a second bite
I'm impressed of your bravery
What is the purpose of its existence? It's the worst ramen I've had
I don't think its spicy now, whats happening
Why? Finish it up then
Are you serious? Its not spicy anymore?
I think I'm used to it
So fast?
My brain is numbed
It was still spicy when I ate
My brain is numbed by the spiciness, this is my natural lip color
It seems that the second bite isn't that spicy
Really? Yea, your chin
The first bite will hurt your throat, real pain
It probably killed the cells on my throat
My tongue hurts now
Its still spicy!
Continue eating! Everyone wants to see those who suffers and take spicy food, I'll feed you
Im Mrs Bao, Mrs Bao's feeding time, taking care of the old and weak Director Bao
How is it? It's still very spicy
I think I can still stand it even though my tongue is on fire
I'll leave the rest to you then
I'll talk about the noodle, I think the noodle is
Bad tasting
Really? I think it's quite springy
For real?
Don't you think its very bouncy? Is there any ramen bouncier than this?
It's because its thick
It is similar to udon but udon is not that springy
I still prefer udon
Are you spouting nonsense? Udon is refreshing
I'll do the sound effect for you, slurp~~~hahaha
You definitely have the largest bowl for spicy ramen among all youtuber
No, those mukbang challenge video, they usually have a big pile
Put it closer to the screen to make it look bigger
You are so annoying
Its as big as the screen!
You are so annoying
Maybe those mukbang youtuber doesn't have big pot too, just that they put it close to the screen
You are so pro
Its so spicy
Wipe your mouth, you keep eating despite it being spicy
It is starting to feel good
Really? Yea
Why can't I feel good
I feel good
I think those that can eat spicy food will think its nice
I'm confused, I'm not the kind that can eat spicy food
So today's video became spicy ramen challenge to mukbang challenge, you ate two portion
The spicy hot pot we ate few days made me cry but this feels different
What feeling
I feel the spiciness doubling
The spiciness doubling
And then
I'm so full, I want to puke, I ate so much, I'm so full
Enough!
I wanna take a selfie while eating the noodle
Do you want me to do it for you?
I will eat it
Why do you want to make this face!
My tongue is on fire
I want milk!
I feel like puking
We should throw it away!
My stomach feels bad
Of course, you keep eating it
I wanna puke
Drink more milk
Eat yours!
I thought the video has ended
Finish it up fast
Why are you presenting yourself so attractive
You are like the bar lady, to make food look tasty
Who are you seducing, people won't give you thumbs up if you do it this way
[You guys will give me a thumbs up right!]
Why are you using your face as attraction!
Its so spicy
Its time to show your manliness now!
Not like this
Continue eating, the rest is yours, finish it!
Stop dripping the milk, is there hole in your mouth, are you a kid?
There's still so much, we will have to finish it
Edit this away like magic
I'll clear some for you
I'll eat it since you don't feel comfortable
Do it fast!
I just blurt it
Do it fast
I was being nice
Faster!
You are so annoying!
They can't see you like that
You are so annoying
This lip color make me look so fair
Be serious, its not hot anymore
Its spicy!
Eat it!
You are so sweaty now
Baozi is the kind that sweats easily
One for you one for me
Stop making sound!
Let me voice over
I don't need it
You are too shy
I do big bites unlike you, strand by strand!
I'll give you the last sip of milk
You are so annoying
Can you help me to finish it up
Its not that spicy after cooling down
I will not eat this again
I think it taste good after cooling down
Are you serious?
I think its pretty good
And then you cant stand it
Its spicy but good
Stop making weird sound!
I'm providing sound effect
This are the leftover
Finished, drink this fast! Wipe your mouth
You are so annoying
We have now finished the noodle!
Please share your experience
I must say that its quite nice, its abit sweet but very spicy
I think its bearable, you could stand it too right
I can not bear! I can not!
Aren't you fine now, you never felt any spiciness afterwards right
Nope, cause i drank a lot of milk
I think for our level it is still bearable
It wasn't as bad as i thought, the R18 chips i ate previously was worse
That was even spicy
Right, the R18 chips
That is also my the list of food to never try again
It wasn't that spicy, i think it was good, although Baozi think otherwise
If any of you enjoy eating spicy food, please give it a try
It is too bad for me, I don't think there will be a second time
I don't like it when they made it for the sake of spiciness, I like it aromatic and spicy
This is quite aromatic
No this is pure spicy, not even aromatic, super spicy
I think its really nice
They say if you might have bought a fake spicy ramen if it doesn't taste spicy
So its this the real one
So this is the real deal
Alright we will end our video here

Understand more and improve your English pronunciation with the GRAB & BREAK METHOD - Duration: 21:43.
I can, can't.
Hi. James from engVid.
This lesson, what I want to do is help you...
Well, I want to help you improve two things at once, your pronunciation and your listening.
Really, I will be focusing on the listening part, but if you do this right, your pronunciation
will also get better.
You ready?
Let's go to the board.
As you can see, Mr. E has a big ear.
Listening is one of those things when people are learning a language they don't really
pay attention to.
It's quite funny because I hear many people say right away: "I listen to English all the time.
I listen to videos at home.
Why?
I don't need anyone to tell me about...
Help me with listening."
And usually the same people will say something like: "My pronunciation's not very good.
I really don't understand when people speak to me", and so on and so forth.
And you're trying to explain: Listening is a skill that is natural.
Actually, there's a difference between hearing and listening, and we're going to go to the
board right now and talk about that so that we can get to what I call "active listening".
You ready? Let's go.
So, E, as you can see, has a big ear because he is now listening because he wants to improve
on his listening skills and his pronunciation, and he's come to the right place.
All right, so the first thing I want to look at here is "hear".
When we use the word "hear" in English it's for sound, it really is.
It's just for sound. Like...
[Drops marker] Did you hear that?
Right?
You don't say: "Did you listen to that?"
You can't listen to that.
You can hear that. All right?
So that would be music, when people are speaking, because if you can't hear...
And here I wrote this: "If you don't hear it, it doesn't exist", and that's true.
Listening...
Or hearing is physical. Okay?
The ear actually has to work, or you have to make it work.
There are two things you have to be careful on, that your ear is good, so get a hearing
test if necessary, if you need one; but also we can make it better, if physically everything
works, sometimes people don't pay attention so they miss the sounds.
And when you miss a sound, it changes the word and sometimes the meaning.
And that's when we look over here, to "listen".
"Listening" makes us focus and gives us meaning.
So, when you're listening to someone, you will look at them and you will pay attention,
and that's how you get the meaning.
You need to be able to physically hear the sound, which is true, but if you don't listen,
you won't get the meaning of what they say. Okay?
So we need a combination.
And luckily for us, when the ear works, we can use our listening or our focus skills
to improve how this works so we can get better at learning language and learn faster.
If you remember what I said here: If you don't hear, it doesn't exist.
That's the physical part.
If you cannot hear it, it doesn't exist.
Right?
Which will lead to bad pronunciation, because if you cannot hear a T, you won't say the
T. "Huh? Hmm?" Yeah.
For many Spanish people, the "d" sound is a "th".
They cannot actually hear us when we say "duh", so they say: "the", right?
So they go: "I stanthe", "I stanthe" instead of: "I stand".
When they can hear it, because when I make them say the sound "d", they can do it, and
"duh", they can say it, then all of a sudden they're like: "I can stand.
He wanted".
Not: "I wantith".
-"I wanted".
-"Oh, it's a different sound."
By focusing and listening we're able to make them realize there are different sounds being
said and improve on their pronunciation. Okay?
Now, if we use active listening, which is what I will teach you now, it will help us
retrain the ear.
"Retrain" means make the ear go back to the beginning and then start again, and retrain
to make it better.
Now, I have a little game we're going to play, which is a fun game because you can do it
by yourself, -- I will give you an example in a second -- but you can also do it with
a friend.
"Huh?"
So you can both help each other improve.
So, I'm going to read something to you. Okay?
And I want you to close your eyes and I want you to listen. Okay?
Now, I want you to look for the words with the letter C. All right?
So you're going to close your eyes, like I'm closing my eyes now.
And I'm going to read this to you, and I want you to count how many C words are in this
sentence.
Are you ready?
Are your eyes closed?
Okay, do it now.
"The cat quickly came to the couch and caught sight of the kite in the tree and kept quiet."
Okay?
How many letter Cs?
I'll read it one more time for you, so focus on the words.
How many words with C in them?
"The cat quickly came to the couch and caught sight of the kite in the tree and kept quiet."
Count them up.
All right.
Now, probably the first time you did it, you were like: "What?" and it just went by very
quickly.
But the second time you probably noticed you were catching, grabbing.
This will help with pronunciation, but it also does another little thing I didn't explain
to you but you would find: You started to make breaks in the words so you can understand
much more clearly what I was saying.
Cool, huh?
When you're actively focused on catching one sound, your brain has to separate things to
make it clearer for you.
Continually practicing this, you're going to start noticing when English speakers put
breaks in the word, so your speech will flow much more naturally, and you'll catch the
actual pronunciation that we say.
Cool?
Yeah, I thought so.
Let's try another one for you.
Are you ready?
Now I want you to count the number of words with S this time, the number of words with
S. Listen carefully.
"She shopped at many sites in the city that seemed strange.
The cellphone that she used and took pictures of the sites was not hers."
Ready?
I'll do it again, so pay attention.
"She shopped at many sites in the city that seemed strange.
The cellphone that she used and took pictures of the sites was not hers."
This time you probably noticed you got the letter S or the words with S a little faster
because you were able to go: "S, s, s, s".
If you missed out, there's a second thing.
Remember I told you about the speed of English and the breaks, and proper pronunciation?
You're also probably going: "What is a site?"
Good.
We work on vocabulary.
In listening, when you're able to catch the words, because you probably caught the word
"site" from me, you learned a new vocabulary word.
English people cannot explain these words to you when you say: "I heard the word 'sia',
'siaseealja'."
It's nothing.
But when you say: "I heard this word 'site', what is it?"
I go: -"Oh, that's one of two things.
'Sight', the ability to see, and 'site' is an area that we look at things, like a city
can be a site, a place, an area."
-"Oh, nobody told me that."
-"And they're spelt two different ways."
-"Cool."
So, in learning to listen you can pick up new vocabulary that you've probably missed
because you weren't able to hear it.
Remember?
What you don't hear, it doesn't exist.
But by focusing on one sound or one letter-we talked about one letter-you're able to pick it up.
All right?
Take it out, and then it makes the other things clearer that you were probably missing.
Pretty cool, huh?
Now I'm going to teach you something else in a second, I'm going to teach you a little
bit more advanced because right now I'm asking you to look for the words, or sorry, the letters
that you know: A, B, C, D, or E, what have you.
Right?
We haven't worked on sounds, just the letter name.
So, C, the letter C you're looking for, but now we're going to work on sounds to improve
your listening ability.
Are you ready?
It gets to be fun now.
Okay, so I gave you a little exercise to try and we practiced it.
I'm going to make that exercise a little bit more difficult now because we worked on the
name, I call it the...
You could say the capital letter, and I say it's the name of the letter.
So, an example would be: This is a capital letter, the big...
The big size.
But this is the sound.
I would say this is the name of the letter and this is the sound.
So, the sound might be here.
Name is B, the letter B, but the sound-right?-would be "b", "b".
Now, we worked on letter name, right?
Like, how many words have the letter in it.
We didn't care about the sound that it makes, we just cared that the letter exists in the word.
That's the first step.
Then I'm going to have to work on sounds because you need to be able to tell the difference
between sounds.
But before we do that, let me give you a little bit of help with working with consonants.
Now, I'm just assuming everybody knows a consonant, but in case you don't: A, E, I, O, U, U are
sometimes strong...
Oops, sorry.
That's an old song.
Those are vowels.
Okay, so I'm not talking about vowels, to be honest with you.
Vowels are really hard to do because we mix vowels, we put E and I together to make an
"a" sound or an "e" sound, so I don't want to start with that, and nor should you.
Best to start with the consonants because they're hard sounds.
Also, many Latin languages, Portuguese, Italian, and Spanish don't end in hard sounds, the
hard consonants, so it's a good idea to bring your mind to it so you can practice.
Also, Japanese people have a little difficulty with this.
So, working with the consonants will almost instantly improve your pronunciation by 5
to 10% just by listening and knowing how to listen.
Cool?
So, for a bonus little lesson: Do only the consonants first, I just explained why. Okay?
And I'm going to give you a specific consonant to work on because it will help you improve
faster and immediately.
The most used consonant in the English language is the letter T. Kind of strange, huh?
Some people would say the...
When I used to teach it I would say it's "s", "d", "t", and "th", not that these are...
TH is a consonant, but most people would have difficulty saying these sounds, especially
at the end of words, so I would make students use this exercise and practice with this again
and again while watching movies, so they got really good at hearing and they also found
they could understand more of what the people were saying.
Okay?
So it's best to know that T is the most used consonant in English, so it's best to start
with that.
Now, practice first before you even do the listening exercise of putting on...
I wouldn't start with music.
Go for a movie or TV program to start with first.
Okay?
First practicing saying T, and you could do it like this: "t, t, t, t", it's to get the
brain to become aware of it.
If you have difficulty with T, T is done by this: Your throat back here, you kind of close
it a little bit, like swallow, swallow, and then at the tip of your tongue... See?
Tip tongue, two Ts.
Your tongue...
Tip of the tongue goes to the front of the teeth, so: "t, t, t, t, t, t, t, t".
That's how you make the T. All right?
So T: "t". Got it? Cool.
Now we're ready to start.
I'm going to give you, by the way, the same two sentences I gave you before.
"Huh, so what's the challenge, man? I just did it.
You told me, right?"
Now, remember I told you how many...
Oh, did I tell you how many words or did I leave you hanging?
So, before I do it again: How many words did you find with the letter C?
Remember the first sentence with the cat?
If you said five, congratulations, you're correct.
There were five words with the letter C. "Cat", "quickly", "came", "couch", and "caught".
Good on you.
How about the second sentence?
How many words with the letter S?
This was a little bit tougher, so I hope you were paying attention.
Remember I did it twice and you had to focus on just that "s", right?
That "s" sound, S-word.
So, what do we have?
"She", "shopped", "sites", "seemed", "strange", "she", I said "she" again, "used", "pictures",
"site" again, but I said "sites", "was", and "hers".
Pretty cool. Right?
That was 11 words with an S in it, if you were paying attention.
All right?
Now, remember I'm going to repeat the same sentences this time, but we're going to do
a different job.
This time, instead of concentrating on the name of the letter, I want to concentrate
on the sound.
So, the first thing we have to look at is: The letter C can make two sounds.
It can make a "s" sound or a "k" sound.
I'm going to concentrate on this, and we're not going to concentrate on the letter C,
we're going to concentrate on one thing it can do.
I want to hear how many words have the letter "k"...
Or, sorry, the "k" sound. All right?
How many of them?
So I'm going to read the same sentences as before.
Now, don't rewind the video to go check it out, I'm going to read it to you anyway, but
this time look for a "k" sound that could be the letter C. Are you ready?
Let's do it.
"The cat quickly came to the couch and caught sight of the kite in the tree and kept quiet."
Okay, how many "k" sounds did you hear?
Let's try again.
"The cat quickly came to the couch and caught sight of the kite in the tree and kept quiet."
Yeah.
Now, you remember before I said there were five words with the letter C, but the "k"
sound, there are actually seven words with the "k" sound.
Whoa, yeah, extra.
Because remember "k-kite"-right?-and "kept" or "keep" have a "k" sound.
And sometimes the C sounds like a K, and that's what I mean by you have to start being able to...
The first thing is: How many words are there?
We work on vocabulary and listening.
The second time we're listening to grabbing sounds, taking sounds out of sentences.
And in order to do that we can actually start noticing there are breaks between words, and
when you start noticing the breaks, you can start catching the words afterwards and understanding
even better.
All right?
Okay, now we've done with the C, I want to work on the letter S. If you remember the
sentence I did earlier with S, I told you there were 11 words with S. The words were:
"she", "shot", "sites"-right?-"seemed", "strange", "she", because I said "she" twice, "used",
"pictures", "sites" again, "was", and "hers".
There're 11 words, that's a lot of words.
That might have been difficult because I did read it at, you know, a decent speed.
Now we're going to redo that sentence again, but this time I don't care about the S. What
I want to work on is the sound, because S can have two sounds, it can have a "z" sound
or a "s, S" sound.
All right?
So your job now is to catch how many words have the "s" sound, not the letter S. Are
you ready? Let's do it.
"She shopped at many sites in the city that seemed strange.
The cellphone that she used to take the pictures of the sites was not hers."
You ready? One more time.
"She shopped at many sites in the city that seemed strange.
The cellphone that she used to take the pictures of the sites was not hers."
Okay, I'm smiling because I can see you go: "I got it.
I know how many words."
Some of you will say 11, right?
Careful.
Remember I said there's a difference between the name of the letter and the sound of the
letter, and the example I gave was the name of the letter B is B, the letter B, but the
sound it makes is "b".
In the case of S, S can be "s" as in "silent" or "z" as in "hers".
Now, some of you are going: "Oy vey!
He said 'hers'."
I'm like: Yeah, it's a "z" sound and you have to be careful.
All right?
So, in this case, how many sounds of S?
You'll be surprised, because it's not all the words you think.
"She" and "shopped" are a "sh" sound, not a "s" sound.
Mm-hmm.
Some of you who have trouble saying "ch" and "sh" are now noticing: "Oh, there's a difference."
So those don't count.
"Sites" count and "city", but some of you will go: "James, 'city' starts with a C."
Remember over here?
We said C sometimes can sound like "S, s".
And for proper pronunciation we need to be able to tell the difference.
So, we have: "sites", "city", "seemed", "strange", and the word "cellphone".
Starts with a C, but it sounds like an "s".
Right?
We can't say: "she", because it's a "sh" again, right?
And we can't say "used" because that is a "z" sound.
We can't say "pictures" because that's a "z" sound.
But we can say "sites" again.
So the number that we used dropped down dramatically.
I hope you were paying attention to that and I hope you got a lot out of the lesson, because
if you use this properly, you will find that you can improve greatly and quickly in your
pronunciation, but also your listening skills and understanding when you speak to other
people.
Now, of course I have homework for you, and this is very specific homework.
So for those of you who like The Matrix, I'm about to make you happy and it's only 18 seconds
long.
I need you to...
Well, you're probably on YouTube.
If you're not on engVid, you're on YouTube.
You can go to YouTube and you can look under: "Blue Pill or Red Pill?
The Matrix."
And I only want you to listen to 18 seconds.
In the first 18 seconds, Morpheus-we'll call him by his movie name-uses many words with
the letter W. I want you to count up how many times or how many words he uses with the letter
W, like: "which", "when", "window".
He uses many, many, many of them.
Your job is to do homework, go there.
It's 18 seconds.
You've watched me for about 15 minutes.
18 seconds to improve is great.
Right?
Great that it's just a short amount of time to improve.
Count how many times Morpheus uses a W word when he's talking to Neo.
And when you're done, go pop at the website and see who got it right.
Was it 10?
Was it 15?
Was it 5?
Challenge yourself and challenge others.
Anyway, I've got to wrap this up, and that means I have to go.
