MARRIED At First Sight hunk Ross McCarthy has revealed that he has quit showbiz and returned to his day job.
The E4 star has returned to his roots as a painter and decorator following his failed TV marriage.
Ross shared a call out for his business in which he revealed that he and his team are happy to travel for jobs far and wide.
He appears to be using his fame to drum up interest in the business by committing to doing jobs for his followers across the country.
Appealing for more custom as he returns to his old life, Ross wrote online: “To all my followers who live further away.
“If you’re looking for painting and decorating work done, especially bigger jobs, feel free to DM me.
“I’ve had a few people ask about distance, but it’s no issue now – we’re happy to travel and focus on delivering quality work every time.
“Let’s get your space looking spot on.”
His career u-turn comes just days after he bravely opened up to confirm that he is an alcoholic.
Ross made history on the show as its first deaf groom, but he broke Sacha’s heart after struggling with his anger issues.
The reality TV star has since turned his life around – and found new love with a girlfriend Magda.
In a powerful message to fans, Ross revealed that he’s 65 days sober and determined never to go back.
In an emotional post, he shared: “For everyone who’s been asking me about this book – what is it, and what’s it done for me – well, here you go.
“I’m finally ready to share it with the world, because I’m more stable now, and my mindset is stronger than ever.
“So yeah… I’m an alcoholic.
“And I’m proud to say that out loud now, because back then, I couldn’t.”
Ross credited a life-changing book and the unwavering support of his loved ones for helping him on his journey to sobriety.
THOMAS FRANK will reunite with an old pal when he starts at Tottenham – having been offered a job by the same friend around 20 years ago.
The 51-year-old has replaced Ange Postecoglou at Spurs following the Europa League winner’s dismissal.
In doing so, he ended his seven-year spell with Brentford, where he was adored by fans.
With just a shoestring budget, Frank took Brentford from the Championship and turned them into a strong Premier League side.
The Dane’s style of management has been admired by many clubs – including Manchester United, who reportedly considered him as a potential replacement for Erik ten Hag last year.
But his new home will be North London – largely thanks to one man in particular.
Johan Lange, Tottenham‘s technical director, has a relationship with Frank that dates back around two decades.
The former Brentford boss came close to quitting football altogether in his early thirties.
Frank had spoken to his wife, Nanna, about giving up on his dream of coaching and instead becoming a teacher.
That’s when Lange came in.

Then working for Danish club B93 in Copenhagen, Lange approached Frank regarding a talent development position.
After some careful consideration, he declined.
However, Frank went on to change his mind after being chastised by the instructor from his Uefa coaching course.
Speaking to the Telegraph five years ago, the ex-midfielder said: “He (Uefa instructor) called me and said, ‘What the f*** are you doing? This is your dream job. You need to take it.’
“The rest is history.”
Frank and Lange did not spend much time together at B93 but they would meet again at Lyngby, another Danish club, a few years later.
There, they would work alongside Niels Frederiksen and Kasper Hjulmand while honing their coaching craft.
Now, almost two decades on from that first job together, they are colleagues once again.
As the technical director of Tottenham, Lange would have played a role in bringing Frank to North London.
The former Brentford favourite is now tasked with carrying Tottenham up the Premier League table.
Despite winning the Europa League this term, the Lilywhites endured a terrible domestic season.
They finished the campaign 17th in the Premier League table, just one place above the relegation zone.
It was the club’s poor form in the league which resulted in the dismissal of Postecoglou.
TWO men have been accused of trying to steal a bicycle from a car park — unaware it was part of a high-security spy base.
The pair, who later insisted they were on their way to a supermarket to get more booze for a party, were seized by armed police at GCHQ.
The ring-shaped site, pictured above, in Cheltenham, Gloucs, is known as The Doughnut.
It is protected by guards, CCTV and razor wire-topped fences and is home to the country’s top codebreakers and cyber security experts.
Last night, one of the suspects told The Sun he had been nominated by pals to go to the local Asda for beers as he was the most sober.
He and his friend thought they could take a short cut through the car park.
Painter and decorator Terry White, 47, said: “As I told the cops, all I wanted to do was buy a few cans.
“It looked like a normal car park. There was a barrier, but it was raised and there were no warnings or signs. I’m born and bred in Cheltenham so I’ve always been aware of GCHQ.
“But I had no idea this car park was part of it.”
The dad of six went on: “When we got to the other end, I was confronted by a huge metal fence, about three metres high.
“We were thinking about climbing over it when suddenly a police car pulled up on the other side and an officer jumped out and shouted, ‘Stop there!’.
“It was a really scary experience and not one I would ever want to go through again.”
Gloucestershire Police said two men were detained in a car park and a bag of tools found nearby at around 5pm on Friday, June 6.
The force added: “It is believed they were attempting to steal a bike.
“The two men, who are both in their 40s and from Cheltenham, were arrested on suspicion of going equipped to steal. They have been released on bail pending further inquiries.”
More than 5,000 people work at GCHQ to protect the country from cyber attacks and assist the security agencies MI5 and MI6 with encrypted messages.
KING Charles is set to attend every day of Royal Ascot after he “surprised himself” at how much he loves the occasion.
He and Camilla will be ever-present at the five-day meet, cheering on their horses from the royal box.
Charles has been a regular at the event throughout the years supporting his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth II, who loved horse racing. Camilla is also a big fan.
But since Charles became King, he has had a leading role there — and has enjoyed getting stuck in.
A source said: “Camilla has been passionate about horse racing for many years but the King has surprised himself by how much he enjoys it.
“It is an opportunity to catch up with guests and show support for the horse racing industry.”
It is believed the King has two horses running at the festival, although the full list of runners and riders has yet to be officially confirmed.
His horse The King’s Falcon could be a shrewd bet after the three-year-old gelding won at Carlisle two weeks ago.
The week kicks off on Tuesday when the King Charles III Stakes is one of the opening day highlights.
But news of the King’s fondness of racing comes after it emerged the 76-year-old will not appear on horseback at Trooping the Colour tomorrow.
It is the second year in a row Charles has been forced to ride in a carriage for his official birthday parade because of his prostate operation and cancer diagnosis.

THIS live-action adaptation of How To Train Your Dragon is a gorgeous, heartfelt film full of emotion and excitement.
However, as it sticks so closely to the 2010 animated version of Cressida Cowell’s books, it feels more like a copy than a fresh take on the beloved story.
Director Dean DeBlois returns, along with composer John Powell and Gerard Butler, now playing Stoick in person. It’s clear they all care deeply about the original.
Still, that reverence and respect keeps the film from taking risks or trying anything new and fresh.
The story is the same — and, naturally, it still works. Hiccup (Mason Thames), a young Viking with more brain power than physical prowess, lives on the rugged isle of Berk.
Despite his warrior lineage, the teenager has never quite fitted in with his tribe.
When he finds an injured young dragon, instead of killing it like he’s supposed to, Hiccup decides to help it learn to fly again.
Their unlikely friendship drives this beautifully touching story and eventually changes everything for Hiccup and his people.
Thames brings warmth and charm to the role, and Toothless — thanks to inspired CGI — is as expressive and lovable as ever.
Nico Parker’s Astrid gets more screen time in this version, and she makes the most of it.
Her performance is strong, and her character feels sturdier and more developed.
Gerard Butler does a solid job as Stoick, Hiccup’s tough-but-caring father, though his live-action performance isn’t quite as memorable as his voice work in the original.
Elsewhere, Nick Frost is hugely likeable as Gobber the Belch, a pal of Stoick’s and teacher of the tribe’s dragon-training recruits.
Visually, the film looks beautiful. Cinematographer Bill Pope captures the rough beauty of Berk and creates some thrilling dragon flight scenes.
But even at its most stunning, the movie struggles to match the magic and creativity of the animated version’s look and feel.
The adaptation moves along smoothly and confidently, but rarely manages to surprise.
For people who are new to the story, it will be exciting and moving.
But for fans of the original, it may feel a little too familiar and not as magical second time around.

AFTER leaving prison, Molly Brown finds herself in a catch-22 situation.
To get her two young children back, she needs to have a home for them to live in. But the council will only provide Molly with accommodation if she has custody of her kids.
This kitchen sink drama from British director Daisy-May Hudson will have you shifting awkwardly in your seat as Molly makes one terrible decision after another in an attempt to see the children she so clearly loves.
Hudson, whose own mum was made homeless, pulls the audience’s sympathies this way and that. On the one side, Molly has been dealt a poor hand due to her alcoholic and belittling mum who calls her Lollipop, but on the other she doesn’t help herself by threatening social services.
Newcomer Posy Sterling is a revelation as the troubled mum. But not all the cast impress and if you want to know why Molly spent time behind bars, you’ll be left disappointed.
Lollipop is not a piece of throwaway confectionery but isn’t for cinemagoers who prefer to escape into a sweet-tasting world.

JOHN MACLEAN’s Tornado is a unique, somewhat sad revenge western full of dark, beautiful imagery.
The story takes place in a bleak, empty landscape of 18th-century Scotland and combines elements of folk legends and samurai-style action to create an interesting, if slightly muddled storyline.
Mitsuki Kimura (credited as Kôki) brings spikey charisma to the role of Tornado, a travelling artist and sword performer who roams the empty moors with her father (Takehiro Hira), staging bizarre puppet and samurai shows to wandering villagers.
But their eccentric life is shattered when a child’s theft of gold drags them into the path of Sugarman (a brilliant Tim Roth) and his brutal criminal gang.
Meanwhile, Slow Horses star Jack Lowden, who plays one of Sugarman’s henchmen, is let down by a screenplay that gives him little to work with.
The film’s best asset is its atmosphere – the windswept landscapes feel almost otherworldly and the score adds eerie tension.
Tornado may not be to everyone’s taste, but its originality deserves more than a nod of respect.
