Live insects will not be eaten in this year's I'm A Celebrity, in a "permanent" change to the reality TV show.

I'm A Celebrity has previously been criticised for using live bugs in its 'bushtucker trials'.

Some tasks on the ITV show have included insects being eaten alive or dumped onto contestants.

The stars could still be covered in bugs during filming in Australia but any eaten will already be dead.

Thomas Edwin Mix (January 6, 1880 – October 12, 1940) was an American film actor and the star of many early Western movies between 1909 and 1935.

John McGinn's fourth goal in two Scotland games secured a morale-boosting victory in Cyprus and moved Steve Clarke's side above their hosts into third in Euro qualifying Group I.

But it came after an early let-off when Georgios Efrem's shot hit the crossbar and appeared to land over the goalline.

Ryan Christie curled home a wonderful finish for his first Scotland goal before Efrem volleyed a fine leveller.

McGinn's close-range strike earned the first back-to-back wins under Clarke.

Wales eased to a comfortable win in Azerbaijan to ensure their bid to qualify automatically for Euro 2020 will go down to the wire.

Kieffer Moore headed the dominant hosts into an early lead, which was doubled when Harry Wilson nodded into an empty net after Daniel James' fierce swerving shot rebounded off the crossbar and post.

Wales maintained their control in the second half and, although Moore and Wilson missed the best chances to extend their advantage, it mattered little as Ryan Giggs' side coasted to victory.

If Slovakia fail to win away against Croatia in Group E's other game later on Saturday, Wales will qualify automatically with victory over Hungary in their final fixture in Cardiff on Tuesday.

The N.Ireland team were never realistically expected to get automatic qualification from this tough group.

Hes done a superb job with his National team.

Cristiano Ronaldo was made to wait for his 100th international goal as defending champions Portugal edged past Luxembourg to qualify for Euro 2020.

Fernando Santos' 2016 winners required victory to confirm second spot in Group B and finish three points clear of Serbia, who drew 2-2 against Ukraine.

Ronaldo tapped in his 99th goal to seal victory with four minutes remaining.

Bernardo Silva's ball over the top had allowed Bruno Fernandes to fire the visitors ahead after 39 minutes.

Tommy Fleetwood beat Marcus Kinhult in a play-off to win the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City in South Africa.

It was the 28-year-old's first victory since January 2018 and moved him up to second in the Race to Dubai.

Red Bull's Max Verstappen passed Lewis Hamilton's Mercedes twice to take a brilliant victory in a gripping Brazilian Grand Prix.

Behind him, the race developed into a dramatic finale as Hamilton collided with Red Bull's Alexander Albon, and Toro Rosso's Pierre Gasly held off the Mercedes for second place as they crossed the line.

Perhaps most dramatic of all was a few laps before the end as Ferrari's Sebastian Vettel collided with team-mate Charles Leclerc causing both to retire, in a move which could have far-reaching consequences.

It was a remarkable end to one of the most incident-packed races in recent memory. "What a race!" Verstappen said, summing it up perfectly. "Loved it."
