Celeb in 5: Thursday's best entertainment and gossip news.

1. Awwww. It turns out Ed Sheeran secretly married Cherry Seaborn last December.

Sooo, Ed Sheeran went and got married without us and has managed to keep it a secret for nearly three months.

Obviously we’re extremely happy for him and his long-time girlfriend Cherry Seaborn, who he met while he was at school, but where are the photos for our stalking pleasure, pls?

Regardless, it sounds like it was a lovely, low-key celebration.

It was also strictly top-secret, which means there was not a fellow celebrity in sight.

Not even Taylor Swift.

The singer hosted the ceremony at his country estate in Suffolk just before Christmas, after having plans to build his own wedding chapel on the site rejected.

A source close to the singer said: “Ed got married a few days before Christmas. It was very quiet — just Ed’s oldest school pals, limited family and the priest.

“There were only 40 people — so no Taylor Swift, record company executives or any royals or pop star pals. He wanted no fuss, and he wanted it to be something entirely for them — just a tiny, winter wedding.”

Oh, bless.

(Still – we wouldn’t mind a piccie or two – c’mon, Ed).

2. Apparently there’s a lot more to the Jessika and Nic “cheating scandal” than what we saw last night.

Ahh, MAFS.

It never fails to bring the drama to our sad, boring lives, does it?

It turns out, there’s a very intriguing backstory, nay, a ~conspiracy~ behind last night’s glorious dumpster fire of a dinner party, where Jessika attempted to hook her claws into not one, but two women’s “husbands”.

The most surprising part of the evening, for most, was her fierce interest in Cyrell’s partner Nic, followed by his polite rejection of her advances.

It’s safe to say none of us saw any of it coming, but it was truly a heroic moment. (And yes, we are starved for decent human beings on reality TV).

BUT, in a shocking turn of events, Nic could actually be playing us all.

A source has spilled to Daily Mail that (surprise surprise) Jessika was coerced into having that conversation with Nic by two producers after they'd "spent weeks growing close".

"The rumour that had been going around about them rubbing their legs under the dinner table was true, so producers gave them this opportunity to address it."

However, once they sat down/Jessika locked him in the room and chained him to the couch, Nic "completely threw Jessika under the bus" while keeping up his "innocent boy look," the source says.

"It's as if they all conspired to set Jessika up in that scene," the insider adds.

BUT IT GETS BETTER WORSE.

After Nic had turned her down - losing about three kilograms in sweat alone in the process - the source claims he then made a very 'sexual gesture' towards Jessika.

"As he was walking away, Nic turned back to Jess and held two fingers up to his mouth while sticking his tongue between them."

via GIPHY

SURELY DEAR, SWEET, LOYAL NIC WOULD NOT DO SUCH A THING?!

Christ.

We need to lie down.

3. The cast of Buffy just reunited for the first time in 16 years, but there was one person noticeably missing.

But there's just one problem.

Two of the show's main characters – Buffy (Sarah Michelle Gellar) and Angel (David Boreanaz) were noticeably missing.

Fans of the cult show were quick to point out the missing actors.

"How can you have a reunion without Buffy?!" one fan commented.

"I don't see any slayers in that group," another said.

4. MAFS Dino has a very interesting explanation for recording Melissa's phone conversation with her sister.

Married At First Sight's Dino has shared an interesting explanation after being caught recording his 'wife' Melissa's phone conversation with her sister.

Speaking to Daily Mail, a friend of the reality star claimed that Dino was recording the conversation using a "diary cam".

"All of the participants were handed an iPhone which is dubbed their 'diary cam' at the start of production," the source said.

"They're told that if anything is happening during their down time, they need to use it until a film crew can get to them."

The friend also claimed that Dino was reminded to use the diary cam more often as his marriage wasn't producing enough controversy.

"He had no idea it was an illegal invasion of privacy, he'd just had it drummed into his head that he must use his diary cam whenever anything happens off set," they added.

We'd like to see all the diary cam footage now, pls.

5. Khloe Kardashian's subtle message about the extent of Jordyn Woods and Tristan Thompson's cheating.

Khloe Kardashian hasn’t made any official comment since news broke that Tristan Thompson cheated with Kylie Jenner’s best friend, Jordyn Woods.

But she’s letting her social media activity do the talking for her.

Yesterday it was announced that Jordyn will tell her side of the story on Jada Pinkett Smith’s online chat show Red Table Talk.

Not long after, Khloe addressed the scandal (sort of) in a tweet thanking her supporters.

Hi loves, wanted you to know that I appreciate you! ???????? I’ve been reading your kind words and they really are a blessing to me. I love you! Thank you Thank you! I’ll be back when I’m in the mood to chat with you all. Until then remember to be kind to one another ????

— Khloé (@khloekardashian) February 26, 2019

Khloe didn’t log straight out after sending this tweet though, because she went on a very telling liking spree (but she’s since unliked them).

She liked one tweet from a fan that was defending her against another, who claimed the Kardashian family was “smearing” Jordyn’s name for ratings.
