Updated | By Jane Linley-Thomas
Shashi Naidoo, Ne-Yo, and Meghan Markle's father all feature in today's 'Hot Goss' with Jane.
Model and media personality Shashi Naidoo engaged in a debate on her Instagram account about Palestine and Israel
Another day, another person shoots themselves in the foot while standing on a soapbox and ruffling feathers.
Shashi found herself in a heated debate where she went on to call Gaza a "sh***le", and she has been under fire ever since. Loss of brand endorsements, people asking her to be charged for hate speech, and death-threats followed.

Meghan Markle's father speaks out following pre-wedding drama
Speaking about why he initially thought it was a good idea, Thomas Markle told Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid: “This was a presentation to me, to change my image because in the last year photographs of me were always derogatory, so I thought this would be a nice way of improving my look.”
Shame, my heart feels bleak for Meghan's dad regardless of whatever circumstance, just like a little girl dreams about her dream day I can only imagine a dad also looks forward to the day he gives his daughter away, so to be denied that must be awful.
