Pompey, who have not made the brightest of starts on their return to the Championship, were forced to postpone the Championship match after the lights went out minutes before kick-off in their 21,000-seater stadium. The game, which was due to start at 7.45pm, marks Portsmouth's second postponement in a row after Saturday's clash against Blackburn was called off due to a waterlogged pitch. Fans were left to sit in darkness for almost an hour until an announcement was made by the Championship club , who confirmed the match will be rescheduled. 'Tonight’s match against Millwall has been postponed for safety reasons due circumstances beyond the club’s control. We will update fans further in due course,' Portsmouth posted on social media at 8.41pm. Gosport Borough, who are a non-league club local to Portsmouth, also had their match postponed on Wednesday evening due to a floodlights issue.

Here’s what could happen with the dataReality TV star Maura Higgins was called a "little cow" by campmate Tulisa Contostavlos ahead of a bushtucker trial on the new series of I'm A Celebrity this week. Tulisa, 36, was previously announced as the celebrity taking on the latest trial, Shock Around the Clock. The aftermath of the news featured in Wednesday's episode of the ITV show, shortly before viewers saw the bushtucker trial itself. Following the announcement that N-Dubz member Tulisa would face her first trial, former Love Island finalist Maura - who has already done two trials, including the one prior - shared that she was glad it wasn't her facing it. Tulisa said: "I know Maura's so entertained right now."

Maura reacted: "I'd love to be a fly on the wall." Teasing back, Tulisa called her co-star "a little cow". The pair both laughed and later reflecting in the bush telegraph, Maura said: "I am happy no trial for Maura today so I've got a smile on my face." The latest trial came after Tulisa and Maura were vocal in a group challenge on Tuesday's episode, with them screaming as the campmates had insects fall on them inside a bus. Fans expressed sympathy for Barry McGuigan , who was sat in between them. Tulisa faced Shock Around the Clock on her own and was told by hosts Ant McPartlin and Dec Donnelly that she would be strapped into a box that represented a hand on a giant clock. It would be rotated around the clock face during the trial and Tulisa would be joined by an assortment of bugs. In order to win each star for camp, Tulisa had to name twelve things that fit into a particular category within 60 seconds. There were twelve categories overall - including naming UK cities - with a dozen stars up for grabs. The first category saw her asked to name all twelve of the campmates on I'm A Celebrity this year. Tulisa quickly named several of them and then herself, but struggled as time went on, ultimately missing two names off her list. Once the trial had ended, it was confirmed that she had won five out of twelve stars during the challenge. Reflecting on the experience, she said afterwards: "When I was in there my brain just wouldn't function, it just went blank, I was just trying to survive." When Tulisa returned to camp, Maura said: "I'm so proud." She added that her campmate shouldn't be disheartened by having only won five out of the twelve stars.
