Early birthday celebrations are underway for David Beckham ahead of his 50th and he looked dapper as ever for the formal party.

Silk dresses and black tuxedos were the dress code as the Beckhams — minus eldest son Brooklyn — partied in Florida.

The football legend turns 50 on May 2, with plenty of parties likely to be in store as the family loves a big celebration.

David and Victoria, 50, showed their always united front as they posed together on a staircase, with the former Spice Girl looking posh as ever in a minimalist silver silk gown.

In another picture, Romeo, 22, and Cruz, 20, could be seen posing with their girlfriends while Harper, 13, — coordinating with her mum in a dark sleek dress — smiled near her parents.

‘So I thought I’d start celebrating slightly early , such a special night in Miami 🩷 ,’ the former England captain wrote on Instagram.

He continued: ‘So lucky to have amazing friends and family to start the 50th celebrations with 🩷 Love you @victoriabeckham @romeobeckham @cruzbeckham #HarperSeven 🩷.’

It wasn’t just family at the event as footballing icons joined David in Florida, where the team he co-owns, Inter Miami, is based.

Lionel Messi, Luis Suárez, Jordi Alba, Sergio Busquets and American football player Tom Brady were all seen posing in their smartest suits.

It wasn’t just footballers who got the star-studded invite, though, as none other than Shaquille O’Neal, better known as Shaq, was in attendance.

Sharing a snap of him and Brady on Instagram, Becks joked he was annoyed to be ‘so small’ compared to the sporting icons.

David is 5ft 11, while Brady is 6ft 4 and famously tall Shaq is a whopping 7ft1.

Long-time friend and sports agent David Gardener was there with Becks posting on his story that they had been friends for 35 years now.

The pair met at Manchester United Youth club and remained close over the years.

Everyone from comedian Jack Whitehall to makeup icon Anastasia Soare appeared to have secured an invitation to the event.

However, Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz were nowhere to be seen in the party pictures, which showed David laughing and dancing with his friends.

The couple were just on a getaway in Santa Barbara, LA, with the chef-turned-designer posting snaps with his wife.

The birthday bash comes days after David shared a loved-up post of Victoria for Mother’s Day with previously unseen snaps of her and the kids.

This included a black and white shot of Harper as a baby in 2011 resting on Victoria’s chest as she lay on a sofa surrounded by the couple’s sons.

He also used individual shots of his pop legend wife with each of their kids, as well as pictures of himself as a youngster with his mum Sandra, and with Victoria’s mother Jackie too.

‘I’m so lucky to have so many incredible women around me who are the most amazing Mum’s [sic] ❤️ I learn from you every single day ❤️,’ wrote David in the caption.

Katie Price has revealed that she was forced to leave Mucky Mansion after being conned.

The former reality TV star, 46, moved out of the dilapidated house in May 2024 after reports of an eviction notice due to her financial issues (which she has denied) and undergoing a ‘hellish’ ordeal while living there.

It was reported at the time that the star had been served an eviction notice after filing for bankruptcy, which Katie has also denied.

The star now claims that she ‘handed back the keys’ to the home, known as Mucky Mansion after her renovation TV series, after being conned in a fly-tipping scam.

In an interview on The Disruptors podcast, Katie claimed that she thought she was turning her land into a wedding venue.

‘So the reason I got out of my house. I was introduced to a guy who said, “Why don’t we turn your house into a wedding venue? Because you’ve got stables, we’ll do a big gallop track in your fields.”

‘And where your tennis court is, we’ll knock that down and we’ll build you a brand new one and a brand new five-bedroom house. And you can use your house as a wedding venue.

‘Showed my mum all the stuff, all legit, had this architect there, all the drawings, all the planning. I don’t know what’s real and what’s not and he sold us the dream.

He started getting everything at my house, putting scaffolding up on the house and knocked my tennis court down. Every time I’d go to the house, there was all diggers in the field.’

She then revealed things took a turn: ‘And then one day, when we went to the house to film, I went out in the fields and I thought. What is actually going on here?

‘This doesn’t look like it’s a gallop track, and that’s when people messaged me and said “oh my god, Kate is with this fraudster”.

She revealed the man gave her various names, and eventually it led to her being caught out for flytipping and being given an enormous bill to sort out the rubbish on her land.

‘He fly tips on your fields. Then we caught him out. Then I’m left with the house. Council on my case saying you’ve got to get rid of all this flytipping – it’s contaminated, this and that.

‘And I’m like but it wasn’t me that’s done it. We had quotes that it was going to cost me about £800,000 to get it all back right.

‘So I was like, do you know what? I’ll give the keys back, I don’t want it. You can have it back.’ 

The estate, which includes nine bedrooms, four bathrooms, 12 acres, and a disused swimming pool, was bought by the reality star in 2014 for an estimated £ 1.35 million.

Katie sold the property in December 2024 for a loss. A public notice on Rightmove stated at the time: ‘Mortgagees in possession are now in receipt of an offer for the sum of £1,150,000,’ per the Daily Mail.

The star previously called the Sussex mansion ‘cursed’ and told the Daily Mail: ‘I’ve been wanting to get out of my old house for absolute years. It’s been nothing but hell in there. I’ve not had any luck in that house, ever.’

‘I hate that house. Whoever buys it, I warn them, they will get bad luck there. It is absolutely cursed. My anxiety got worse with that house. There was a point when I couldn’t even walk up the driveway without having a panic attack.

‘I had therapy about the house. I should never have gone back there. Now I’m out of it, it’s the best thing I’ve ever done.’

The mum-of-five now lives in a four-bed Sussex home for a reported £5,000 a month with her boyfriend JJ Slater.

Christine McGuinness has revealed that she is struggling to pay off her huge divorce bill three years on from her split from husband Paddy McGuinness.

The model, 37, split from her ex-husband after 11 years of marriage.

The pair announced their split in 2022 and reportedly settled their divorce in October while remaining friends and living together to co-parent their children, Leo and Penelope, 10, and Felicity, seven

In a new interview, the star admitted that the divorce has been expensive, but she’s determined to be able to say: ‘I paid for my own divorce.’

During an appearance on The Shizzio Show podcast, Christine explained: ‘There was times where it was fine and really civil, and we were agreeing on what we wanted and what we were going, then there was times where it felt like we were starting all the way back at the beginning.

‘It’s the biggest bill I have ever paid in my life, and I will say that I paid for my own divorce, nobody else…’

She went on to explain that she and her ex agree that they would do things very differently now, as they both ended up spending huge amounts on divorce lawyers.

‘I think people assume that if you’re going through a divorce with someone who earns a hell of a lot of money, your legal fees will be covered, or they will cover the costs or something, but it doesn’t work like that.

‘I think both of us now, if we could sit down and do it again, yeah, we’d do it completely differently, because we both spent a hell of a lot of money on divorce lawyers.

‘Me personally, £300,000 out of my own money that I didn’t even have.’

She then added: ‘I probably wouldn’t have gone down that route. I got someone to represent me that was equal to who was representing him.

‘I didn’t have £300,000 to pay for a divorce! I’m still paying for it.’

In the interview, the star added that she doesn’t think she will ever publicly reveal why she and Paddy chose to split.

‘I’ve never spoken about the reasons for our divorce, and I don’t know if I ever will. It was a difficult time. It wasn’t something that, you know, I just decided to do overnight, or that we chose to do.

‘We tried, and, yeah, there just, unfortunately, there was no repairing it, you know?

‘I’ll always, always love him as the father of the children, and I still live at home with him, which says a lot. We separated three years ago, and we are completely divorced, and we live in separate parts of the house, but we share a family home.’

Although Christine mentioned that the couple still shares a family home, it has recently been reported that Paddy has put their £ 6.5 million property up for sale.

The home boasts seven-bedrooms, six en-suite bathrooms, a huge array of commodities including its own gym, an orangery, and a kitchen diner.

Sources told MailOnline that the property has been put on sale for a huge amount deliberately so that it won’t sell.

‘It is so overpriced, Paddy doesn’t want to sell which seems like another tactic by him.

‘The house is on for two thirds more than what they paid for it, it will never sell. It all feels a bit like Paddy wanting to control the situation and keep Christine living in the house with him for longer.’

Fearne Cotton’s estranged husband Jesse Wood has confirmed his new relationship just a few months after their split.

In December broadcaster and author Fearne, 38, and musician Jesse, 48, announced they were splitting after more than a decade together.

The pair, who were married in 2014, also share two children – son Rex, 11, and daughter Honey, 8.

Earlier this month it was revealed Fearne had moved on when she was spotted kissing TV director Elliot Hegarty, whose estranged wife was reportedly blindsided by their romance.

Now Jesse, the son of Rolling Stones rocker Ronnie Wood, has found love.

A few weeks ago, it was first reported he was dating Gemma Gregory, 39, a former actress who is best known for her parts in Popcorn, Gypsy Girl and the BBC television adaptation of Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations.

Gemma also played the young Estella in the 1999 adaptation alongside Ioan Gruffold and Charlotte Rampling but has since started her own fashion brand, Recovered by GG.

She’s now hard-launched him on social media, sharing a photo of them.

Posting on her Instagram stories, Gemma’s photo saw her and Jesse hugging outside in the sunshine.

‘Bloody love this one,’ she wrote alongside a red love heart emoji.

A source had previously told the Mail Online the pair ‘seem very happy and in love’.

‘They have been together some time, and people around them know about their relationship,’ they said.

‘Gemma is a lovely woman who has been through some difficult times over the years. She deserves some happiness.’

The daughter of actor Paul Gregory, Gemma was previously romantically linked to Nicholas Knatchbull, son and heir of Earl Mountbatten while she dated Henry Brett, a captain of the England polo team.

A close childhood friend of Hugo Taylor, she also appeared with him on Made in Chelsea in 2012.

She also has a son, Benji, who was born in 2014.

Meanwhile Jesse also has two older children from a previous marriage before Fearne – Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18.

He and Fearne were introduced by a mutual friend in Ibiza in 2011, around a year after he split from his first wife.

Earlier this week, Fearne spoke publicly for the first time about her marriage breakdown.

Appearing on Lorraine on Monday she said things were ‘very amicable and the kids are doing great’.

Chappell Roan has sparked controversy by saying that all of her friends who have kids are ‘in hell’.

In the March 26 episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, she went on to say: ‘I actually don’t know anyone who is like, happy and has children at this age. I have literally not met anyone who is happy, anyone who has light in their eyes, anyone who has slept.’

Whether or not she meant to, she touched a nerve. That’s an understatement actually, she whacked it with a cattle prod because – in the days since – social media has blown up with people on both sides of the fence reacting.

On one side, you have childfree people agreeing with Chappell, applauding her for saying it how it is. And on the other, you have mothers intent on setting the record straight.

Oh my god, I hate all of the in-fighting.

At a time when motherhood – womanhood, actually – is so politicised, I feel the divide between us on this issue only serves to make us weak in a way we cannot afford to be right now. 

American women have had their right to choose what to do with their own bodies ripped from them, UK women are facing colossal childcare costs that are forcing them out the workforce at a devastating rate, and the rise of conservatism online is seeing more and more childfree women criticised and judged for their own choices.

As someone who is absolutely exhausted thanks to a sleep-averse toddler and a newborn, I’m not sure I’m making a lot of sense at the moment. But I must say that I personally enjoy motherhood.

But more interesting than my own views on the subject, I think, is the emotionally-charged nature of this topic and getting to the bottom of why some mothers might be feeling like ‘hell’.

The crux of this is that from as early as we are cognisant, little girls are told that having children will fulfil them. Subliminally and overtly, we are pretty much conditioned to believe that having children is our life’s purpose. This really is a message that doesn’t do anyone any good.

For those that don’t have children for whatever reason, they’re treated like their life is missing something, that they are unfulfilled and without purpose – which is obviously horrible.

And for those who do have children? Well, therein lies the trigger. It took becoming a mother for me to learn that the formula was a little bit more complicated than baby = fulfilment. 

Because while children are incredibly fulfilling, they will not necessarily completely fulfil you. That is not their job, nor their role. And to be honest, the coolest baby in the world is going to be hard pushed being enough fulfilment that a mother can ignore the society that she lives in.

The society that told her that she needed to ‘have it all’ – the job, the family, the body, the friends, the money, the beauty, the time, the peace, the joy. The reality is, we can’t have all of that. At least, not all at once.

Hence, this is where I believe the ‘hell’ that Chappell discusses comes from.

It is incredibly hard to be a mother in this day and age, but it is very hard to say that out loud because when you do, society’s messaging is parroted back at you. 

You’ve had children now, you should be fulfilled, you should be happy, every single minute of every single day, and if you aren’t, then you have failed.

You’re told you’re ungrateful and that this was your choice, and you should be happy about it. This is incredibly detrimental.

On an individual level, it is this rhetoric that means maternal mental health is so bad. But on a societal level, it is dangerous in a whole new way.

When women don’t feel able to complain about motherhood, to acknowledge the difficulties, to highlight an issue, we prevent them from being able to demand a solution. And we desperately need a solution.

It’s gaslighting of a sort, but one that is so intrinsic to our society. It’s so woven into the tapestry of our culture that we often never get far enough back to see the pattern.

I personally don’t think having children is hell. But I do think for a lot of women, they are having children in hell.

They are exhausted, neglected, overstretched, undervalued, and they’re having to work like they don’t have jobs. On top of that, the cost-of-living means parents are making huge and regular sacrifices.

In spite of all of that, motherhood is beautiful. What we need is women on both sides of this divide to acknowledge that.

To deny the existence of the hell, to negate the bad bits and gloss over the problems, it upholds a system that on one hand takes complete advantage of mothers, giving them no support, financial or otherwise as they get on with the job lauded as ‘the most important’ one they’ll ever have.

And on the other, judges the hell out of all the women who choose a different route for themselves.

As the divide grows ever wider, I worry that within it a truly pervasive misogyny grows.

John Bishop is the latest comedian to hit headlines for suffering rowdy hecklers while trying to perform a live show.

On Thursday the comedian, 58, was forced to contend with ‘drunk’ front row audience members, one of which was said to have become aggressive.

When they wouldn’t stop talking through his set John repeatedly told them to be quiet or else leave the Devon theatre.

‘This is a live show, okay?’ John can be heard telling the audience members in a video of the incident, which took place during one of his recent Back At It shows.

‘See them, them and them, they all have as much right as you to enjoy the show,’ he continued, pointing at other individual audience members in frustration at the man and woman.

A woman is then seen leaving the theatre while swearing at the audience over a chorus of boos. She followed the man leaving before her.

The incident happened at the Princess Theatre in Torquay, Devon, on March 27.

An attendee said, as per The Sun: ‘John warned a couple on the front row several times for the show to stop speaking.

‘After the interval they continued doing so and then John told them he wanted them to leave.’

They claimed: ‘The man then stood up and gestured towards John as if he was going to jump on stage.

‘Security got to him in time, grabbed him by the cuff of his shirt and then slammed him through two fire doors.

‘My video only recorded the aftermath in which he then wanted this man’s wife thrown out of the building and slightly later two of their friends were also thrown out.’

One onlooker wrote to Facebook group Spotted Torquay: ‘Just finished seeing John Bishop at Princess Theatre.

‘To the drunk couple that were ejected and especially to the man, you’re both an absolute disgrace.

‘Well done to the security guard who swiftly dealt with them.’

Others commended John for his actions, as onlooker Amanda said: ‘Hope the heckler is proud of himself, made himself look a complete tool. JB is a different class of comedy…’

Marianne added: ‘John handled it brilliantly and I really hope he knows that we all loved the show and doesn’t stop him coming back.’

Jeanette said: ‘What an absolute tool….well done to security for handling the situation so well and to the rest of the audience for booing them…I bet they woke up this morning shamefaced.’

In recent years, comedians have noticed a violent shift in British audiences – a trend Metro investigated last year.

This comes after Peter Kay kicked out an audience member for shouting out, ‘Garlic bread!’ repeatedly during his show.

Jimmy Carr also recently sent a heckler packing, but today told Jordan North on Capital Breakfast that he only kicks people out of gigs ‘for a reason’.

‘I do like a heckle,’ Jimmy explained this morning. ‘People come to my tour show and there’s a lot of jokes in it.

‘There’s a lot of like, “Okay, I’ve written a show, this is it,” and then I like to leave enough space so people can just join in and shout nonsense. And it’s kind of that thing of like, I suppose like watching a magician do magic.

‘Because I’m so used to it, it’s like, “Bring it!” I’m not going to get insulted and it’s kind of fun,’ the Last One Laughing host explained.

He added: ‘I think Peter Kay is a national treasure, he’s a wonderful, wonderful man, and he’s incredibly likeable.

‘But there’s 16,000 people in a room, and he had to get rid of some people who were getting in the way of the evening.

‘And his duty is to the 16,000 people who have booked a hotel, and they’ve bought a ticket and they’re there at the arena to watch the show, and there’s a huge difference.

‘And we all know there’s a huge difference between shouting out something that’s disruptive and repetitive and annoying, and joining in and adding value.

‘The people at my show are very lucky. The audience that come to see me know that when it’s heckling or joining in and asking questions. It’s not random, drunken nonsense. There’s a huge difference.

‘So, when I kick people out as well it’s… The difference between me and Peter Kay is I don’t care.’

Levi Davis, a rugby union star who appeared on The X Factor: Celebrity in 2019 as part of the group Try Star, has been missing since 2022. 

According to his mother, Julie, the athlete, 24 at the time of his disappearance, was last seen in Barcelona on October 29, 2022, at a pub, and she’s fearful his disappearance is related to a previous attack he suffered.

In a new interview with The Mirror, the mum of six opened up about how Levi had been ‘drug raped’ – with photographs and film from the incident being used as blackmail against him – around the time he was on X Factor.

Levi, who eventually posted on social media that he felt his life was in danger, had been chained to a chair with his feet in water, attached to electricity, according to his mum.

Julie said: ‘The blackmail video was a while before he went missing – around the time of X Factor. I think he innocently got drawn into something.’

Julie’s oldest son Nathan revealed the incident to his mother: ‘Levi had confided in Nathan that he had been drug raped and photographs had been taken and he was being blackmailed.

‘They told him, “We’ve got this on camera and we’re gonna do XYZ to your family if you don’t pay.”‘

Julie explained that she last heard from her son when he arrived in the Spanish city and phoned to tell her he had run out of money and needed £30 to spend the night in a hotel. 

She later messaged Levi – who had played as a winger for Bath and appeared on The X Factor: Celebrity with fellow players Thom Evans and Ben Foden three years earlier – asking if he’d found the money for the hotel. She never heard from her son again. 

She was later told that cruise ship workers had helped ‘someone in the water shouting for help in English’ shortly after Levi was last seen.

However, when the area of water was searched, nothing was found – all that was uncovered during the police investigation was Levi’s passport.

Levi was last seen on CCTV leaving The Old Irish Pub on La Rambla at around 10 pm on October 29, and bar staff later told authorities he had only had a couple of drinks. 

He sent a WhatsApp message to a friend shortly after midnight before going dark, the Mirror reports. 

Julie continued to the publication: ‘Levi wanted to travel Europe because of his anterior cruciate ligament tear. He’d been in Ibiza for a couple of weeks to work on music, and he said he planned to stay at a hotel in Barcelona overnight before going to his next destination, which was left open. But he had run out of funding.’

The devastated mother has been left with unanswered questions, including uncertainty as to why her son’s phone last pinged by a port-side underground station. She was left with even more uncertainty when the Spanish police eventually sent her a 250-page report that she had to get translated to English herself.

Julie is now crowdfunding to be able to hire a solicitor to continue to work on her son’s case, saying, ‘As far as the UK police are concerned, we’ve just been totally forgotten.’

West Midlands Police say of Levi’s case: ‘The investigation is being run by the Spanish authorities, and we are supporting it when required. Our thoughts remain with Levi’s family and we will continue to provide them with any updates from the Spanish authorities as their investigation continues.’

Poor Mo Gilligan made a joke about florists and was swiftly ‘shadow banned’ from Instagram for ‘false information’ about US migrants.

The comedian, 37, was baffled when he was penalised by the social media platform following an innocent joke about florists raking it in on Mother’s Day.

Alongside a picture of stacks of cash, Mo joked: ‘Florist waking up this morning after charging people £25 for a bunch of flowers on Mother’s Day that normally costs £5.’

In a surprising turn of events – and what appears to be an error – Mo then shared a notification from his Instagram which said the post had been flagged as ‘false information’.

The notification explained, ‘This is similar to information third-party fact checkers say is false,’ while linking to an article headlined: ‘US customs officials not offering $750 for tips about migrants.’

Explaining the ban, Mo said: ‘I called out a florist for a laugh and now Instagram has shadow banned me for 3 weeks.’

Shadow banned means a user’s content or profile is made less visible to others.

This is Instagram’s method of reducing false information on the platform.

In its guidelines, the Meta-owned site explains how false information is made ‘harder to find by filtering it from Explore and hashtags, and reducing its visibility in feed and stories’ after being identified by their ‘third-party fact-checkers’.

Mo’s experience comes just two months after Mark Zuckerberg announced Meta were scrapping their fact-checkers on Instagram and Facebook in favour of X-style ‘community notes’.

In his video address over the change, Zuckerberg said it was time to ‘get back to our roots on free expression on Facebook and Instagram’.

This move came after Donald Trump criticised Meta’s fact-checking model as being censorship for right-wing voices.

After the announced changes, Trump praised Meta for having ‘come a long way’.

While the changes are being rolled out in the US, Meta says it has ‘no immediate plans’ to get rid of its third-party fact checkers in the UK or the EU.

Community notes were first adopted by Elon Musk’s X, and they see users of the platform adding context to posts, rather than the platform itself or any third-party moderators.

‘Fact checkers have just been too politically biased and have destroyed more trust than they’ve created, especially in the US,’ Zuckerberg said earlier in January.

This announcement came four years after Zuckerberg gave testimony to Congress following the January 6 2021 Capital riots, fuelled by false claims the US presidential election was rigged against Donald Trump (something the President still insists).

In the speech, Zuckerberg called their network of fact-checkers ‘industry-leading’ – but now in 2025 he has dubbed them ‘too politically biased’.

Mo is currently touring Mo Gilligan: In The Moment World Tour across the UK.

He is heading to Brighton on April 2, before Plymouth, Cardiff, Bristol, Nottingham, Manchester and wrapping up in London on May 31.

Kourtney Kardashian is said to be ‘livid’ after son Reign addressed a bizarre conspiracy theory that his biological father is Justin Bieber, not Scott Disick.

Fans have speculated for years about the 10-year-old’s true paternity, but were left shocked when Reign addressed the rumours himself on Instagram.

However, the move reportedly left his famous mum reeling, and fearing how to protect him from social media.

An insider claimed: ‘Kourtney has never talked to Reign about the rumors and she would imagine this was the first time he had ever heard them. 

‘Kourtney was livid. She told him that there are so many silly rumors about the family and that he is not to believe anything. She tries to keep her kids away from this stuff but as they get older she is unable to as easily.’

‘Kourtney doesn’t like when Reign is online and would rather him not talk about anything that happens with the family or answer random rumours,’ they added to the Daily Mail. ‘If he continues to do it, it is only a matter of time before he says something damaging.

‘Kourtney wants to act on this now before it is too late. She has talked to him about her concerns. She knows he doesn’t realize the impact he has and people will be watching his every move. He could get in trouble.

‘Kourtney will ban him from social media if he continues to act up.’

Things kicked off when Reign popped up on an Instagram Live with Scooter Jackson, who is currently dating the youngster’s stepsister, Alabama Barker.

A viewer took the opportunity to ask if Justin, 31, was his dad, which he then roundly denied.

Reign said: ‘No, he’s not. Bro, I swear, Justin Bieber is not my dad. Scotty…Scotty…Scotty is my dad.

‘I don’t know how old my mom was, but I think Justin Bieber was 16 when I got born. I don’t think my mom would do that.’

The pop superstar – who has been married to wife Hailey since 2018 and is the father to Jack Blues Bieber – was briefly romantically linked to Kourtney in 2015, following her split from Scott. 

However, Reign was born December 14, 2014, a full year before the pair were rumoured to be ‘hooking up.’

‘Justin started hanging out with Kourtney alone because she started going out more,’ an insider told Us Weekly, at the time. ‘He’s been showing her a good time.’ 

‘They have hooked up a few times, including recently,’ an additional source told People magazine. ‘It happens in LA.

‘He has met her kids, but they don’t hook up around the kids. It’s on nights when she has help and is able to go out.’

Kourtney, who was 36 at the time, was linked to the 22-year-old Love Yourself singer a few months after her split from Scott, who is the father to her three children: Penelope, Mason, and Reign.

‘I’m being used, man. What can I say?’ Justin joked when asked about their rumoured romance on The Bert Show radio show a few months after the speculation first started to swirl.

He also posted an Instagram embracing a woman against a car, and many fans believed it was Kourtney.

This isn’t the only rumour about Kourtney’s family to be shut down recently, with theories that her 15-year-old son Mason Disick secretly fathered a child swirling online back in March.

Kourtney denied the social media theories that Mason had a daughter named Piper in 2024, writing on social media: ‘I rarely address rumors or conspiracies regarding myself or my family, but this is about my child and it feels wrong to let anyone think for a second that these lies are remotely true. They are not.

‘Mason does not have a child. These accounts that pretend to be him are definitely not. They are FAKE.

‘My son really values his privacy, and I am asking all media to please be respectful: he is a kid with feelings and a beautiful life ahead of him.’

The reality star pleaded with people to ‘please stop spreading false narratives and spinning lies.’

‘And to all the other people making videos about my kids (who, by the way, are minors), please stop and leave them alone,’ she concluded.

The rumours arose when an Instagram account – claiming without evidence to be Mason’s ‘secret’ page – posted photos of a baby girl.

Broadcaster Louis Theroux has said he is preparing for a ‘full head shave’ due to his alopecia.

The British documentarian, 54, said he is likely to completely shear off his hair in the next 12 months and will take inspiration from actors Stanley Tucci and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson – who are both bald.

The TV star, who has been documenting his alopecia – the medical term for hair loss – shared a series of photographs of his hair to his Instagram page.

‘Latest from alopecia-land. I’ve cut the hair short because I realised the longer it was the worse it looked. But it’s patchy AF and I’m basically preparing the way for a full head shave some time in the next 12 months,’ he wrote in the caption next to photos of his hair with some patchiness around the parting.

‘Big glasses a la Tucci, big muscles a la Dwayne Johnson, plus a year-round tan. That’s the formula,’ he vowed of his planned transformation.

‘I’ve included a last photo from 1994 that I stumbled on yesterday as a reminder that the hair was always a problem, which I will have to worry about less and less as it disappears.

‘It’s like when your house burns down. “At least I don’t have to hoover!”,’ he quipped as he showed off his messy locks as a young journalist in New York.

Louis was supported in the comments, with influencer Jo Tucker – also known as @baldmothertucker – responding: ‘Alopecia is the wildest ride. But you’ve got this 🖤 ‘

‘You are you.. with or without your hair. Your alopecia is NOT what you are known for.. as I am not known for being bladderless … accept what you don’t have and rejoice in what you do 💖’ added artist Tracey Emin.

‘My alopecia took away a lot of my facial hair – halved my eyebrows, and decimated my beard so much that all I’m left with is a straggly spattering of what, when grown, looks like a poor attempt at a handlebar moustache!’ shared fan Joe Hartley, adding: ‘Thanks for being loud and proud about what you’re going through. It helps!’

Louis previously shared images of his dyed hair and the results of microblading his eyebrows in March last year, which is a form of temporary tattoo, after he completely shaved off his brows when hairs started falling out.

There are different types of alopecia and various medical conditions that cause hair loss, according to the charity Alopecia UK.

It’s a condition that causes hair loss and can affect many areas of the body, but predominantly impacts a person’s scalp, head, or face.

Some forms of the condition can be autoimmune, such as alopecia areata, which can cause patches of hair loss.

Journalist Louis is best known for presenting documentaries including Louis Theroux: Weird Weekends and The Most Hated Family In America as well as questioning high-profile stars – and sometimes baffling them.

He also hosts The Louis Theroux Podcast, where he has interviewed celebrity guests including Saltburn actor Barry Keoghan and US film star Armie Hammer.

While becoming a comedian was once all Jon Richardson ever wanted, he’s now decided to pursue another passion.

The stand-up comedian recently took a break from the industry, which made him reevaluate his life and where he wants to be.

Consequently, he’s decided to lengthen his showbiz hiatus and become a teacher.

Taking to Instagram today, the 42-year-old began in a video message: ‘I just thought I’d give you a little update. I don’t really do social media updates, and I’ll tell you why, because I don’t think anyone cares!

‘But I have a little bit of news…’

He continued: ‘I’ve obviously been taking a little bit of a break from stand-up and it’s really made me want to carry on taking a break from stand-up.

‘I’ve been thinking a lot about a diary entry I found from 1997.’

The handwritten entry from when Jon was 14 then flashed on the screen, reading: ‘I’ve decided that although I’ll probably end up being a teacher, I’d love to be a comedian.’

Jon continued to his 187k followers: ‘I’ve loved being a comedian, it was absolutely the right choice. But I’ve decided that it would’ve been nice to try the other option, so that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.’

He went on to reveal that he’s been training and has taken on a teaching position.

‘I will update you as and when I can,’ he vowed, ‘but that’s all from me for now, just to let you know that’s where I’ve been. I’ll keep you posted.’

The TV star was quickly inundated with supportive messages from both fans and fellow comics.

In typically witty fashion, Josh Widdicombe commented: ‘Comedy’s loss is teaching’s loss’.

‘OH MY GOD THE LUCKY CLASSROOM THAT GETS YOU JON BOY! X’, declared Aisling Bea.

Laura Smyth wrote: ‘Congrats!! Lucky kids! – I’m hoping a career in teaching will make you want to do stand-up! ❤️’

Meanwhile, @spinninalb said they were ‘gutted’ as Jon is their ‘favourite comedian’, however, they are wishing him luck in his ‘new chapter’.

‘You have to do exactly what’s right for you, Jon. Good luck with everything ❤️’, echoed @jo.madeley68.

Lancaster-born Jon took his first baby steps into comedy after leaving university and working as a chef, after which he opted for the stand-up route and lived with Russell Howard, Mark Olver, and John Robins for a year in Bristol.

He got his big break when he won his heat of the BBC New Talent Comedy Search in 2003, with his shows going on to receive glowing reviews.

Jon has since toured the UK with his gigs, hosted on both BBC and Absolute Radio, and appeared on countless TV panel shows.

He’s best known for his jokes on 8 Out of 10 Cats, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Have I Got News for You, and Would I Lie To You?

Jon has also worked extensively with his wife, Lucy Beaumont, having previously acquired their own show, Meet the Richardsons. They announced their separation in 2024 after nine years of marriage.

After a turbulent few weeks of intense scrutiny, Maura Higgins has been letting her hair down with a Hollywood icon.

The Irish influencer, 34, and singer Danny Jones, 39, made headlines at the start of the month by sharing a drunken kiss at a Brit Awards afterparty.

While Maura, who is single, has not publicly commented on the salacious smooch, Danny, who has been married to wife Georgia for 11 years, issued an apology, writing that he wishes to ‘deeply apologise’ to those his actions impacted.

Clearly keen to put the drama behind her, though, Maura has been brushing shoulders with celebs of a different calibre, as she enjoyed a boozy London lunch with Margot Robbie.

The Barbie actress, 34, has made no secret of her love for Love Island, on which Maura found fame in 2019.

So, upon discovering they were going to be in the capital at the same time, it seems the Suicide Squad star couldn’t resist a little networking.

Taking to her Instagram Story this afternoon, Maura posted a stunning selfie taken on a rooftop bar at Broadwick Soho.

Wearing oversized designer shades and a ruffled white top, she styled her brunette locks in casual waves and pouted for the camera.

‘When Margot Robbie invites you to lunch… you go’, her caption read, revealing her invite to Fever-Tree and Papa Salt’s gin spritz launch.

She followed the pic with a short video of Margot toasting a ‘cheers’ as the group downed shots of her Papa Salt Coastal gin.

‘Got me on shots at 2pm WHAT A WOMAN!!!!’, Maura wrote.

The Australian movie star is currently in the UK filming for the hotly anticipated adaptation of Wuthering Heights, in which she stars opposite Jacob Elordi.

So, on the rare day she managed to enjoy some time off, Margot put her celebrity status to good use.

She’s been an avid Love Island viewer since she shared a house with six friends in Clapham in 2016, before really hitting the big time and moving to her £2.1million mansion in Los Angeles.

Reflecting on that period of her life in the four-bedroom flat, comically dubbed The Manor, Margot previously said: ‘Love Island reminds me of living in London—watching it with my girlfriends when everybody was home from work.

‘Those were the best days of my life. For me, where you live and what you do have to be simplistic and comfortable; otherwise, how are you possibly going to relax?’ 

Margot, who is now married to Tom Ackerley and welcomed her first child last year, has built up some pretty solid connections with past Love Islanders over the years.

At the Barbie premiere, the unashamed fangirl was more than happy to take selfies with Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and her then-boyfriend, Davide Sanclimenti.

Dancing On Ice contestant Chris Taylor even managed to bag himself a role in Greta Gerwig’s film, which Margot also produced.

The 34-year-old had a part less than 30 seconds long as he portrayed a version of Ken, which acting titans Ryan Gosling, Ncuti Gatwa, and Simu Li also played.

Revealing exactly how he booked the job, Chris explained that it was far from a conventional audition process.

While he was busting out some moves at a premiere afterparty, Margot made her way over to him and, to Chris’s astonishment, knew his name.

He told OK! Magazine: ‘So, I basically went down the route of telling her about my mate who’s got a micropenis.

‘I informed her of that, and we had a little chat about micropenises, which was lovely and quite funny.

‘And then I went on to tell her about my dad’s mate whose balls are so big, he can carry 12 bottles of Budweiser on his ballsack like a tray.’

After that, Warner Bros. gave him a call and asked him to be part of Barbie… the rest is history!

Chris previously added: ‘I’m fairly certain that’s how it went down, but the only confirmation I’ve really got is that her husband, Tom Ackerley, said to me at the (Barbie) premiere that Margot was like, “We have to get Chris in this film”.’

Glen Powell’s mother has spoken out over the rumors that he is secretly dating Sydney Sweeney, branding the speculation ‘silly’.

The pair, who starred in rom-com Anyone But You together, made headlines after they both attended Glen’s sister’s wedding, shortly after it was claimed that Sydney had called off her own nuptials with fiancé Jonathan Davino.

They had already sparked dating rumors after cozy pictures emerged during filming in 2023, but fans went into overdrive over their reunion at the weekend.

However, the Twisters star’s mom addressed the scrutiny, insisting there is nothing romantic between them at all.

‘They’re definitely not together. It was just, like, she was there [at the wedding] with her friend,’ Cyndy Powell said in a new interview.

She branded the claims ‘silly’, vowing that the White Lotus actress is ‘really close friends’ with the whole family – especially bride Leslie – and clarified there is ‘nothing going on behind closed doors’.

‘He’s the kindest person and he is so others-oriented. He loves his family, he loves his friends. And Sydney is a friend,’ Cyndy continued to the Daily Mail. ‘They’ve been friends for so long. They’ve known each other for so long and they’ve both been single and together and with other people. 

‘They could have made anything happen that they wanted to at any point. But he’s got so many friends that care about him and he cares about, and he’s got a really nice group of friends that they kind of take care of each other. It’s really nice.’

When asked if she wanted to see them eventually start dating, she added: ‘That is none of my business. I just want what’s best for everybody.

‘I just want somebody that loves him unconditionally and he loves unconditionally, and they take care of each other and live happily ever after.’

Glen and Sydney have always denied any romance claims, but found themselves at the center of speculation after Instagram gossip account Deuxmoi shared pictures of them enjoying a meal in Dallas, alongside a string of friends.

The Euphoria actress jetted out to Texas to attend Leslie’s wedding, and joined in the fun at the rehearsal dinner at Joe Leo Fine Tex Mex.

Glen seemed in good spirits for the bash and looked smart in a green polo shirt, while his former castmate opted for a long-sleeved black outfit.

She is said to have joined his family for brunch during the trip, but he was reportedly absent for the meal.

The ceremony comes after Sydney allegedly called off her own wedding to businessman Jonathan, with a source claiming she pulled the plug on their engagement as ‘she’s not ready to settle down’.

An insider told People: ‘They only lasted for this long because it was hard for her to break it off. They didn’t split because there is no love. They split because she just wants to focus on her career right now.’

The source claimed that the bride-to-be was starting to feel ‘overwhelmed’ within her relationship.

They said while she is ‘in the middle of this magical career that she could only dream of a few years ago,’ this is what she wants to ‘focus on right now’.

The lovebirds were first linked in 2018 and got engaged in 2022, but there have been multiple reports that they have called things off, after claims that the bride-to-be had been staying solo in a hotel.

People Magazine reports that she also deleted a recent photo of them kissing from her Instagram page, and had been sharing pictures without her engagement ring.

Sydney, who has kept much of her romance behind closed doors, has yet to address reports regarding their postponed ceremony.

Metro has contacted reps for Glen and Sydney for a comment.

Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has revealed a terrifying private jet incident with fans that could’ve ended very differently.

‘Last night, we had some issues with the plane,’ he began in a video shared on social media this afternoon.

He explained that he was due to be in Houston, Texas, right now for the opening weekend of the United Football League’s second season.

Instead, the 52-year-old is home in Hawaii.

‘About 35-40 minutes into the flight, the pilot comes back to me; he gets down on one knee, and he faces me, face-to-face, and it’s just me on the plane, me and the crew, and he says, “Mr Johnson, I’m sorry to inform you that we cannot continue to fly over the ocean”.’

The pilot declared they had a ‘problem,’ meaning the plane had to be turned around and land back in Hawaii.

He then gave the WWE star his ‘word’ that he would land ‘safely on the island’.

‘I so appreciate his demeanour; his name was Captain David. I appreciate his demeanour in that moment, and he said it was a hydraulics issue with the overheating.

‘He said there are some issues we can work out while we’re in the air, but there are some issues we’re not gonna take a chance, especially over the ocean.’

Stating that he is no stranger to turbulent flights, Johnson admitted that he has been forced to confront his mortality in the past, where ‘crazy’ in-flight situations make him ask, ‘Is this how I check out?’

Thankfully, all was ok, and the actor and his crew were able to land unharmed.

However, his latest ordeal encouraged Johnson to reflect, as he added in his video: ‘When you’re back there alone with just your drink, and you’re thinking about this, you’ve got everything crossed, hoping you’ll make it back safely.

‘You start to realise really quickly the s**t that’s really important in life. Then you realise the s**t that doesn’t matter that you’ve been worrying about. I had one of those moments last night.

‘Bottom line is, I’m grateful to be back on the ground, grateful to be back home in Hawaii.’

‘I appreciate God, the universe… I took this as a sign from God and the universe. I wish though I was there in Houston, Texas,’ he concluded.

In his post on X, Johnson added that he is ‘super bummed’ to have missed out on his trip, but he is ‘so grateful’ to be alive.

‘So sorry to our @TheUFL fans, players, coaches, staff and our teams at @FOXSports @espn I’m not there,’ he penned.

‘Let’s have a great season 2 opening weekend, have fun, and ball out.’

Johnson has an estimated worth of $800million (£618.3m) and enjoys a lavish lifestyle with the wealth he’s accumulated since he began wrestling.

Last year, he was declared the highest-paid actor in Hollywood. According to Forbes, Johnson raked in a whopping $88million (£68m) salary in 2024, thanks to Red One and Moana 2.

Among his assets is a Gulfstream G650, a luxurious and high-performance jet, which is said to cost around $65million (£50.2m).

Rosie O’Donnell has shared her personal heartache leaving the US after Donald Trump was elected President once more.

The legendary comedian, 62, claimed she fled the US for Ireland after Trump ‘had it out for her’, relocating with her 12-year-old child Clay.

Since moving, talk show host Rosie has opened up on the personal pain she has experienced uprooting her life.

Yesterday she shared a snap of her 25-year-old son Blake O’Donnell sitting in a car with his wife Teresa taking a selfie on her Instagram page.

In the caption, Rosie wrote: ‘My son Blake and his beautiful wife Teresa!!! I miss [you] so much ❤️🎈🙏🏾🇮🇪🥰💋😘.’

Teresa commented that they ‘miss her too,’ while many fans sympathised with the star being so far away from her children in America.

‘It’s so hard to be far away from your kids! Hope they’ll all visit soon! Gorgeous couple!’ Nsmith1944 wrote.

Rosemarieoneill added: ‘They look like they are such a fun couple!! So happy!!! I’m sure they will come see you soon!!!💙💕☘️🙏 Luh you RO!’

Robinspeicher said: ‘It must be so hard to be away from your kids.Hopefully you can come home soon.’

‘Thank goodness for facetime, Rosie. Hoping you won’t have to wait too long for in person HUGS!!! They will love Ireland!!!’ Catcloke9 commented.

As well as Blake and Clay, Rosie previously adopted children Parker, 29, Chelsea, 27, and Vivienne, 22.

The star shared the news she had relocated on TikTok, raving about the ‘loving, welcoming’ reception she had been met with in her new home.

Appearing on the Late Late Show, the star – who was one of many fleeing the United States – shed light on her decision to relocate, and how she has settled into her new way of life.

‘Settling in great, the people have been unbelievably kind, loving, supportive and so different than Americans when they recognize you,’ she told host Patrick Kielty.

‘It’s so polite, so sweet and it’s so non-invasive. It’s beautiful.’

When asked about why she moved, Rosie continued: ‘The President of the United States has it out for me and has for 20 years, when I told the truth about him on a program called The View – where it was my job to talk about pop culture, politics…

‘I mentioned his bankruptcies, I mentioned all of the sexual assault charges and I mentioned that he was not, in fact, the businessman that everyone thinks he is because of the show, The Apprentice, where they sold a bunch of lies to America for over 10 years, and half of America believed it.

‘He was very angry to say the least, and he hasn’t let it go. And he uses me as a punchline whenever he feels the need.’

She has said she feels ‘healthier’ since leaving the US, revealing she is ‘sleeping better without the stress and anxiety’ of worrying about the political climate.

Spencer Matthew is ‘fuming’ that his wife Vogue Williams had to issue a statement shutting down rumours that their seven-year marriage is over.

The TV personality, 39, hit out at the ‘baseless and cruel’ rumours that have been circulating last week, with claims suggesting that the pair were heading for divorce.

Spencer, 36, and Vogue tied the knot in 2018 and have three children together; Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and Otto, two.

An insider has now claimed that Vogue will be ‘reluctant’ to openly discuss her marriage in the future, after reports claimed that the pair were ‘trying to avoid the seven-year itch’

A source told Metro: ‘Spencer is fuming that Vogue had to issue a statement. He finds speculation about his marriage upsetting, especially as he’s so protective of his children.

‘They’ve had ups and downs like any relationship, Vogue has been open about this on her podcast and how things aren’t easy with three young children. She’s now reluctant to be so open about their marriage in public.

‘They’ve been together through everything from Spencer’s sobriety journey to parenthood and it’s been difficult, but they’re still more in love than ever.’

DJ and presenter Vogue took to social media last week to hit back at claims that the pair were splitting up, sharing a montage of photos of herself with her former Made In Chelsea star husband.

She wrote: ‘It’s with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up!

‘I usually avoid addressing baseless and cruel rumours but this just keeps coming up. It’s disappointing to see this narrative being pushed almost daily when it’s absolutely not true and much more importantly, I don’t want my children hearing these lies in the playground.

‘We’re not sure what the angle is or where it’s coming from but the whole thing feels very strange and mean.’

Vogue then reassured fans that she and Spencer are ‘very happily married and in love’, but wanted to ‘post the truth’ to put an end to speculation.

Responding to Vogue’s post Spencer joked: ‘Some of the articles are quite funny to be fair.’

Speculation was fuelled after Spencer left the couple’s podcast in January so he could train for his next challenge, having completed an insane 30-day marathon trial last year.

The former reality star told the audience: ‘I’m moving on from this podcast to pursue other business interests and focus on my upcoming challenge.

‘I’ve loved doing this show and it would never have been as popular as it would be without the listeners.’

Vogue teasingly replied that she wouldn’t miss him as she would ‘see him at home’ with her sister Amber Wilson taking over.

Then, earlier in March, Vogue appeared on the Netmums Podcast and revealed she had ‘had enough’ after a ‘tiff’ with Spencer over home workloads.

She explained: ‘I would say I do 80 percent of what [goes on]. We’ve actually been having a slight little tiff about that this morning, about the stuff that I do.’

Vogue and Spencer met on the fourth and final series of Channel 4 reality TV competition The Jump and after a year of dating, he got down on one knee and popped the question.

The couple tied the knot in June 2018 at Spencer’s 10,000-acre family estate in Scotland before having a second wedding in London the following year.

Metro has contacted representatives for Spencer and Vogue for comment.

​Rebecca Loos, the former personal assistant to David Beckham, has stood by her claims of a past affair with the football star.

Loos, now 47, maintains that she has always been truthful about the alleged relationship, which she claims took place in 2003, saying: ‘In my opinion, it was a very brave thing to do to go up against them.’

In a recent interview with 60 Minutes Australia, the mother of two opened up about the affair that she claims took place over two decades ago and the fallout that resulted from her decision to make it public.

Loos shared details of how the short-lived romance allegedly began, telling the program that it first began when Victoria was out of town and David ‘kept looking at her’ while out together in a night club.

‘I woke up with the biggest smile on my face,’ she said of the next morning. ‘It was naughty and I did feel that it was wrong, but at the same time I was hooked.’

She emphasised that she still believes her decision to publicise the relationship was brave, adding, ‘Why? Because I’m going up against the strongest, most powerful couple in the media who have all the money in the world for the best PR, the best lawyers. And all I had on my side was the truth.’

Loos first spoke out about the alleged four-month-long affair in April 2004. David,who denied the claims, had been married to Victoria for five years and had two children at the time.

Reflecting on her involvement with Beckham, Loos admitted, ‘I fell hook, line and sinker for every single cliche line he fed me.’

‘And then two weeks later we were at Ronaldo’s birthday party and he’s off with this beautiful model. And I was like, “Uh.” That was a hard night for me. I was like, “Uh, I don’t understand.” And realizations started to hit that I’d been massively played.’

Loos also discussed her decision to go public with the affair allegations, explaining that she preferred to control the narrative amid media speculation, saying, she felt, ‘it’s better that it comes from me and I have some sort of control.’

She also acknowledged the impact on her well being, noting, ‘I think all of that impacted my mental health in a way that it was quite traumatic but I didn’t admit to it being traumatic because I wanted to be brave and strong,’ Loos added.

‘But some of it seeped through and got to me and that has taken time to recover from.’

Beckham has consistently denied Loos’ allegations, labeling them as ‘ludicrous’ in a 2004 statement.

In the 2023 Netflix documentary Beckham, both David and his wife, Victoria,  touched upon the alleged affair without directly referencing Loos. Victoria described it as ‘the hardest period for us.’

David also addressed Rebecca’s claims in the Netflix documentary, saying there were some ‘horrible stories’ that were ‘difficult to deal with.’

‘It was the first time that me and Victoria had been put under that kind of pressure in our marriage,’ he continued.

Following the release of the documentary Loos appeared on Good Morning Britain and said the former England captain has ‘never denied it’ and slammed him for not taking ownership of his ‘mistakes.’

Currently residing in Norway, Loos has transitioned to a career as a yoga and meditation instructor and works part-time as a medical assistant.

She is married to Norwegian doctor Sven Christjar Skaiaa, whom she met on a reality television show, and together they have two children.

Metro has reached out to representatives for David Beckham and Rebecca Loos for comment.

Frankie Bridge, a former member of pop group The Saturdays, has revealed that ‘depression is absolutely kicking her a**e.’

The 36-year-old, who has spoken openly about her mental health since 2011, said she had made the comments in an Instagram post as ‘a little reminder that sometimes we have bad days.’

In the post she said: ‘I have finally made it down to the gym, it has taken me the whole day to actually get here.

‘My depression is absolutely kicking my arse at the moment, I’m so over it.

‘You just feel like you do all the things you’re told you’re meant to do, and then it just still always comes back.’

The Higher singer said she is ‘just so bored of myself’ and said that those around her ‘must just be so bored of it as well.’

‘But I’m here, I’m going to try and do as much as I can in the gym, because I know it will make me feel better, instead just sitting around eating s**t, which is what I’ve been doing all day, which only makes me feel worse, and I know that, so I don’t know why I do it, but here we are back in the same old place.’

She posted an update after her workout explaining how it had made her feel better.

Bridge added: ‘So there is not much that a little bit of Paramore and a workout can’t fix, I definitely feel a lot better.

‘And if I hadn’t have come in, I’d have just berated myself even more, that I had the whole day that I was able to come to the gym, and I just didn’t, I just sat around and just wallowed in self-pity, and so I am glad that I did it, and I do definitely feel better for it.’

She said that she feels exercise has ‘picked her up’ but also questioned why she ‘couldn’t have done it earlier’ has she had ‘a better day.’

Frankie said she ‘should just be pleased that she’s done it’ after not being able to workout during her depression previously.

The ambassador for mental health charity Mind wrote in another social media post earlier this month that her ‘mental health plummeted’ after ‘suffering with various illnesses.’

At the height of her career, Frankie shared she battled anxiety, stress, and uncontrollable panic attacks to the point she ‘couldn’t see the point of living any more.’

In her book Open: Why Asking For Help Can Save Your Life, she explained how a hospital star helped her cope with her mental health issues.

‘There were so many people who had experienced the same feelings as me, if not worse, that I felt understood and not so alone. I no longer had to hide, cover up and lie about how I was,’ she wrote.

Speaking in 2020 during an appearance on Loose Women, the musician said she ‘begged’ The Saturdays’ manager not to let a video shoot run over as she had only mentally prepared herself for one day of filming.

‘I felt like I’d become Frankie from The Saturdays and I’d become two people,’ she said, detailed how her husband Wayne Bridge struggled through her health issues.

‘Wayne didn’t know what to do and called my GP and she came to see me, spoke to Wayne and me, and rang my manager and psychiatrist who said, “The only way we’re going to help you is to take you away from the situation.” There wasn’t gonna be a good time.’

A year later, while appearing on I’m A Celebrity, Frankie detailed how she suffered a breakdown at just 21.

‘I was with Wayne, I was able to function at work, but then I’d come home and I couldn’t function. Just cry all the time. I didn’t want to be alive anymore, basically,’ she said.

She said that she realised it was ‘a bit shocking’ for people to find out it happened to her at such a young age, but that she ‘doesn’t mind talking about it.’

The singer began her career in 2001 with S Club Juniors. The spin-off from pop group S Club 7 released seven singles and two albums.

In 2007 she formed The Saturdays with Rochelle Humes, Una Healy, Mollie King, and Vanessa White. They achieved 13 UK top-10 singles and five UK top-10 albums before splitting in 2014.

Justin Bieber has been seen publicly after sparking concern for the safety of his seven-month-old son, Jack Blues.

The Sorry hitmaker, 31, and wife Hailey Bieber, 28, welcomed their first child in August last year but have mostly kept the tot away from their social media pages—they boast a combined following of almost 350million on Instagram alone.

However, over the weekend, Justin shared a rare snap of the youngster and himself in an embrace while soaking up the sun.

While Justin is seen wearing black shorts, Jack is completely nude, with a Space Invader emoji used to cover his face and his dad’s hands shielding his bum from the camera.

Fans were quick to point out the dangers of sharing such a photo online, especially given that Justin individually has 294million followers. Many left comments urging the singer to take it down.

As discourse rages on, Justin was seen in high spirits earlier today as he stepped out in West Hollywood.

Keeping it casual, the award-winning star wore a relaxed cream knit with Umbro basketball shorts, and Bottega Veneta ankle boots.

Justin flashed a smile as he headed for lunch at Dialog Café, seemingly being left alone by adoring fans to enjoy a slice of normality.

And as he did so, his Insta comments section continued to overflow with worried messages from followers, as his nude photo of Jack remained up.

‘What is wrong with you !!!??? Protect your kid !!!!!,’ @madamelajurist commented.

@joniunicorn replied: ‘I thought I was the only one thinking this. Crazy he’s going to exploit his child,’ while @lauren.crosby_ said it was ‘[their] thoughts exactly.’

‘It’s not covered enough! There’s no reason why he needs to post his naked baby on Instagram just a little bit covered by his hands,’ @ame_liee.e wrote.

@estefaniavalenzuelaa tagged Hailey in her post, urging her to ‘Please tell [her] hubby to dress up [their] son.’

Many users warned Justin of ‘creeps’ on social media who would have access to a naked photo of his child, stating it ‘didn’t need to be posted.’

Referencing the emoji to hide Jack’s face, @jademrie pointed out: ‘Kinda pointless covering your kid’s face if you’re then going to post pics of them nude on the internet.’

Although this isn’t the only Justin and Hailey-related story to make waves on the internet over the past week.

Model and businesswoman Hailey sparked confusion yesterday when she appeared to have unfollowed her hubby on Instagram.

Fans were quick to pick up on the activity, which came after Justin deactivated his page before reactivating.

Having come across a TikTok on the matter, Rhode founder Hailey later left a comment to clear things up.

‘It’s a glitch,’ she wrote. ‘Didn’t unfollow him. Hope this helps!’

The antics follow weeks of health concerns that fans have expressed for the pop star, which Justin dismissed as ‘exhausting.’

Sharing a post on social media, the star opened up about his feelings of ‘hating himself’, which did nothing to reassure his supporters.

He uploaded a video playing the keyboard during a jam session with other musicians, as he seemed to be in good spirits.

The Canadian pop icon wrote in the caption: ‘I think I hate myself sometimes when I feel myself start to become inauthentic.

‘Then I remember we’re all being made to think we’re not enough but I still hate when I change myself to please people.’

In another post earlier in the day, he shared another honest reflection and said: ‘I got anger issues too, but I wanna grow and not react so much smh.’

A source previously told Page Six that his wife, Hailey, was ‘really concerned’ about him.

‘Justin is going through a hard time, and Hailey is doing her best to be there for him, but there’s only so much she can do,’ they said.

A different source told the Daily Mail that she doesn’t know ‘where to turn’ for ‘help’.

Justin has been candid several times on social media in recent months. In February, he admitted that he was ‘changing’, which he said meant ‘letting go’.

Wayne Rooney was rather embarrassingly caught short as he urinated up against a wall while on a night out with pals this weekend.

The former professional footballer paused to relieve himself in the street in London, in view of passersby, while enjoying an evening with friends.

Ex-England and Manchester United star Wayne, 39, headed across the road to unzip his trousers and do his business, with his phone held up to his face and its light seen shining on his cheek.

Dressed smartly in a dark suit, white shirt and tie, he grinned to his party as he crossed the road after peeing on the pavement as a cyclist among others moved past him.

Rooney spent a few hours at The Nest rooftop bar and terrace at the Treehouse Hotel London in Marylebone with his friends, following an appearance as a pundit for the BBC’s Saturday night coverage of the FA Cup quarter-final.

The group then moved onto dinner and further drinks at Novikov restaurant and bar in Mayfair, an upscale venue with Asian and Italian menus as well as a lounge with live DJs where there’s a minimum spend per head and group.

They reportedly left around 2am.

It’s not the first time Rooney has been seen urinating publicly after he was photographed apparently reliving himself in Manchester against a bin in 2013.

If caught in the act by officers or any are complaints made by witnesses, the ex-Plymouth Argyle manager could risk prosecution and a fine depending on local bylaws.

MailOnline reported that the Met Police confirmed that no complaints about the footballer’s behaviour have been filed.

Westminster City Council – which also holds jurisdiction in Marylebone and Mayfair – installed ‘anti-pee paint’ in Soho in 2023, which splashes back urine on the offender when it hits any surface coated in its transparent water-repellent layer, in a bid to curb the habit.

The council had previously revealed its bill for cleaning up the streets of urine was costing close to an eye-watering £950,000 a year.

Rooney appeared in high spirits after revealing a rather unusual phobia live on air, which saw him mocked by presenter Gary Lineker after the pair were joined by Theo Walcott and Glenn Murray for the live coverage of Brighton’s clash with Nottingham Forest on Saturday evening.

After Lineker observed it ‘wasn’t the most compelling first half’, he brought up Rooney’s revelation about his fear of fish, prodding him for further detail.

Trying to explain, Rooney said: ‘I just don’t like them.’

And with his fellow pundits cracking up around him, Rooney tried to clarify his phobia, adding: ‘It’s the big fish [that I’m scared off]. I do like fish.’

Teasing Rooney further, Lineker joked: ‘I’m only saying it because we’re only three or four miles from the coast here.’

Metro has contacted representatives of Wayne Rooney for comment.

David Beckham was one many celebrities sharing loving tributes on Mother’s Day as he posted unseen photos of wife Victoria and their kids to mark the special day.

The football icon, 49, uploaded snaps from the family archive, including a black and white shot of daughter Harper as a baby in 2011 resting on Victoria’s chest as she lay on a sofa surrounded by the couple’s sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz.

He also used individual shots of his former Spice Girl wife, 50, with each of their kids, as well as pictured of himself as a youngster with his mum Sandra, and with Victoria’s mother Jackie too.

‘I’m so lucky to have so many incredible women around me who are the most amazing Mum’s [sic] ❤️ I learn from you every single day ❤️,’ wrote David in the caption.

‘Happy Mother’s Day @victoriabeckham @sandra_beckham49  @jackie.adams_ .We love you so much ❤️ Kiddies are so lucky to have a mum like yours.’ 

Victoria later responded in the comments: ‘I love you all so much x u r my everything ❤️❤️❤️❤️’

Amanda Holden, 54, also shared a picture in Instagram to mark the day, as she also poignantly remembered her son Theo, who was stillborn at seven months in February 2011.

‘Happy Mother’s Day. I’m so lucky to have my girls. We never forget our son #Theo. To all of you who have loved and lost or are on the path to having a family… My family send you a big hug xxx,’ she penned alongside a photo of her with her two daughters, Lexi, 19, and 13-year-old Hollie, taken by her record producer husband Chris Hughes.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge also shared a snap of herself hugging her own mum, Judith, smiling together in sunglasses while on a dog walk.

‘My wonderful Mummy,’ she captioned it.

TV star Davina McCall also shared an emotional tribute to her step-mother Gaby, who was married to her late father Andrew, alongside a photo of the 57-year-old giving her a fierce cuddle.

‘Happy Mother’s Day to you, Gaby. I was six years old when you became my stepmum. And for the last 51 years you have always been there for me through thick and thin. And when I was younger, there was quite a lot of that! The door was always open to come home, and I’m so, so grateful for that,’ she began.

The former Big Brother host had a strained and chaotic relationship with her own mother Florence while growing up, which resulted in a ‘sort of’ estrangement in Davina’s words and her opting not to attend Florence’s funeral in 2008.

‘You ARE grandma to my kids. They love you to the moon and back. And I don’t know what Michael and I would’ve done without you these last four months,’ she continued, referring to the brain surgery she underwent to remove a benign tumour.

‘We are so grateful. I love you with all of my heart mama. Thank you for everything. And Milly, thank you for sharing her with me!’

‘Forever changed, forever grateful, forever Sky,’ shared singer Jessie J on social media with throwback pictures of her son Sky, 22 months, as a newborn, alongside her and her partner Chanan Colman.

‘I was 11 days post-partum in these pictures and had no clue what I was doing. I still don’t always mow. But I do know that I love this boy more than anything in this 🌎,’ she added.

The 37-year-old chart-topper had previously been open about experiencing a devastating miscarriage in 2021 after struggles with fertility as a young woman.

Chanan later posted his own tribute to Jessie, including sweet pictures of her and Sky over the years, where he called watching her become a mother ‘the single most poetic thing I’ve ever witnessed in real life’.

‘Thank you for loving on our son the way you do and thank you for you ❤️Happy 🇬🇧 Mother’s Day, baby,’ he added.

Piers Morgan was also on hand to wish his mother a lovely day as well as celebrating his own 60th birthday.

‘Big day today. My mother has to spend it trying to explain how she now has a son aged 60, when she doesn’t even look that old herself!’ he wrote on X, with a recent photo of himself with his arm around his mum, Gabrielle.

‘Happy Mother’s Day to my greatest supporter, and thanks for all my birthday messages, even the rude ones. In fact, especially those,’ he added.

Traitors star Charlotte Chilton also sent Mother’s Day wishes ‘to all my fellow mummies, step mums, nannies, aunties, guardians, foster mums and let’s be frank and powerful female influence [sic] in a child’s life’.

She continued: ‘The day Penelope was born something changed in my core, I became a new person and I got to learn what real love is. I have never experienced anything quite like it … taking care of a child who needs you! It’s the best feeling in the world! 💕’

Charlotte’s fellow show alum and mum Maddy Smedley left a sweet response underneath, writing: ‘Happy Mother’s Day Charlotte! She’s gorgeous 😍😍xx’

Jesy Nelson has shared a positive health update with her fans after undergoing emergency surgery with her twin babies.

The pregnant pop star, 33, announced earlier this year that she and boyfriend Zion Foster, 25, are expecting two little ones together.

However, the former Little Mix member has had a complicated pregnancy, to say the least.

In her previous update in early March, Jesy revealed that her unborn babies were at risk of dying, explaining in an emotional video that they were ‘living off one placenta’.

At the time, she said she was at pre-stage TTTS (twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome) and was being monitored closely, having scans twice a week.

Now, to mark Mother’s Day, the Boyz hitmaker has returned to social media with a high-spirited video message, filmed inside her hospital room.

‘We just wanted to give you guys an update, as we know it’s been a while,’ she began.

‘I don’t know if you can see, but we are still in hospital, I’ve been recovering, but we have some amazing news.

‘The TTTS has cleared up; the operation was a success, which is just absolutely incredible. We are so, so lucky to have the most amazing doctors.’

She continued: ‘Basically, the situation we’re in now is my cervix is very, very short, so I can’t leave the hospital because my waters could break at any point and I’m still very, very early.’

‘I can’t leave the hospital until I’m a certain amount of weeks, so every week we’re just like, “Please, please, please, stay in there!”,’ she begged, grabbing her belly.

Jesy added that she and Zion are ‘so grateful’ to still have their unborn twins ‘going strong’.

Musician Zion chimed in: ‘One week at a time, but we’re in such a blessed position to even be able to make this video.’

He then had his own news to reveal, explaining that he will be running the London Marathon in just four weeks to raise money for the Twins Trust.

‘We spoke with them and we heard so much about the amazing work that they do for twins, for families of twins, for midwives, and they literally save lives.

‘With Jess going through what she’s going through, as much as I’m going through it too, I feel like I’m not really carrying the babies… this was my way of saying, “I’m gonna throw myself in the deep end!”‘

The couple also kindly requested that fans donate whatever they can to the organisation.

After sharing the post with Jesy’s 9.7million followers, the parents-to-be were inundated with supportive messages, with fans hailing her broken silence as a ‘relief’.

‘So happy everything is going so well!! Sending you all so much positive energy, love and best wishes!! ❤️ Proud of you both!’, commented Insta user @silviyabikova.

‘Really happy for you both, I’ve been thinking of you every day! Such amazing news! Congratulations and wishing you the best for what’s coming! ♥️’, commented @perrieox.

‘Happy Mother’s Day Jesy! This has made our day. We’ve been praying for you every day xx’, added @mamaacademy.

Jesy also received three celebratory emoji from Stacey Dooley in her comment, while Billie Shepherd said: ‘Amazing news ❤️ sending you all lots of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️’

She and Zion announced their pregnancy news in January with a sweet Polaroid photo, writing in the caption: ‘She’s eating for 3 now 👶👶’.

The pair first started dating in 2022 after meeting through friends. After a brief split last year, they rekindled their romance.

Their venture into parenthood comes five years after Jesy left X Factor band Little Mix, in which she performed alongside Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jade Thirlwall.

She cited mental health struggles at the time, having spoken openly in the past about the impact of the pressures of being in a girl group.

Spice Girls star Geri Horner has spoken out on claims she filed to legally change her surname after her husband’s high-profile scandal.

Last year, Red Bull Racing boss Christian Horner was officially cleared of ‘inappropriate and coercive behaviour’ after a female colleague accused him of sending her inappropriate messages.

Christian, 51, was exonerated the day before the F1 season started last March following an investigation into the allegations.

His accuser appealed the decision, but almost five months later, her appeal was dismissed.

Geri, who married Christian in 2015, stood by her other half throughout the matter and has now denied rumours that she wished to distance herself from him name-wise.

Speaking to The Sunday Times, the 52-year-old blasted speculation that she was reverting from Horner to Halliwell-Horner.

Holding up her book, she exclaimed: ‘That’s a load of c**p. It’s my writing name.

‘I haven’t legally changed anything—Horner is the name on my passport.’

Elsewhere in the interview, the Wannabe hitmaker offered an insight into the couple’s home life, describing herself and Christian as ‘quite silly’.

Painting an image of marital bliss, she regaled their favourite pastimes, including walking their dogs and barbecuing, admitting they are ‘very much old-school and family-focused.’

‘We’ll find a TV series that we lock into. I’ll try my best not to watch it when he goes away,’ she shared, adding that they like playing games, such as ’20 questions’.

Geri and Christian also prefer to eat in rather than dine out in a romantic setting.

It was then that she referred to 18-year-old Bluebell as ‘our daughter,’ making a revelation that had not previously been reported on.

Geri shares Bluebell with journalist Sacha Gervasi from a short-lived relationship. However, Christian has now adopted the teen.

The pop star shared that her eldest is currently studying English literature, hailing her as a ‘brilliant writer’.

Asked whether Bluebell has inherited her skills from her dad, Geri said: ‘Her biological father, yes. Christian formally adopted her. It’s public knowledge.’

As for the rest of their brood, Christian has a daughter, Olivia, 11, from his relationship with Beverley Allen, a former pub landlady. He and Geri also share eight-year-old Monty, born in 2018.

Her idyllic portrayal of family life with their tight-knit unit comes one year after salacious allegations rocked Christian’s public image.

The motor-racing chief was first hit by the allegations last February when a slew of alleged WhatsApp messages between him and his ex-colleague were leaked.

A three-week probe was conducted by an external lawyer for the F1 team’s parent company, Red Bull GmbH, and Christian was cleared of any wrongdoing.

Speaking publicly for the first time since the investigation concluded, Christian told Sky Sports News last summer: ‘Obviously, it’s been a hugely thorough process, and, of course, I was relieved with the appeal concluding and dismissing the claim.’

Red Bull said in a statement after the appeal: ‘Earlier this year, a complaint was raised against Christian Horner was investigated.

‘That complaint was dealt with through the company’s grievance procedure by the appointment of an independent KC who dismissed the grievance.

‘The complainant exercised the right to appeal, and the appeal was carried out by another independent KC. All stages of the appeal process have now been concluded, with the final outcome that the appeal is not upheld.

‘The KC’s conclusions have been accepted and adopted by Red Bull. The internal process has concluded.’

Red Bull refused to make any further statements but declared itself ‘committed to continuing to meet the highest workplace standards.’

Then, in November, Christian sat down with the Daily Mail to praise Geri for her unwavering support: ‘What happened at the start of the year felt like a perfect storm. In life, it is a great lesson that the more success you have, the more of a target you become.

‘You just stay true to yourself, and I am very fortunate that I have got a tremendous family. My wife has been unbelievable, fantastic. Your partner is always the one you share your difficulties with.’

He added: ‘She has been absolutely outstanding and hugely supportive. She saw through a lot of things from having an outside perspective, and it is good to have that weight and measure. It is hugely important.

‘You learn about yourselves in times of difficulty, and I was absolutely determined that we would navigate through the difficult waters.’

Mum-of-five Katie Price isn’t spending Mother’s Day with her children this year—but there’s a reason.

The reality TV star, 46, is a proud mum to Harvey, 22, whose father is Dwight Yorke, and Junior, 19, and Princess, 17, from her marriage to Peter Andre.

She also shares Jett, 11, and Bunny, 10, with ex-husband Kieran Hayler and has spoken openly about her hopes for having a sixth child via IVF.

However, as she sent a message to her fans, telling them to enjoy the day, Katie revealed that her plans meant she could not be with her kids this Sunday.

‘Happy Mother’s Day, everybody! Enjoy your day. And all you kids, look after your mum today! Spoil her rotten,’ she began.

‘Talking of which, I’m not with my kids today because it’s my first show at panto,’ Katie added.

The former glamour model has been in rehearsals for an Easter pantomime production of Pinocchio. She’ll give a one-night-only performance at the Northwich Memorial Court.

‘But they’ve given me cards and everything they need to do, and I love it. That means a lot,’ she concluded in her video message.

Katie later took to her Insta feed to share sweet snaps of the cards eldest son Harvey had given to her.

Harvey, who is autistic, has vision-impairing septo-optic dysplasia and Prader-Willi syndrome, looked pleased as punch as he held a paper drawing of flowers and flashed a thumbs up for the camera.

He also wrote her a message, describing Katie as the ‘best mummy ever’.

‘Happy Mother’s Day everyone ♥️ love all my babies so much they’re my everything ♥️ [sic]’, Katie’s caption read.

She also took time to wish her own mother, Amy, a happy Mother’s Day. In 2017, the 73-year-old was diagnosed with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Doctors previously told Amy that her life expectancy was up to five years. In November 2022, Amy had a lung transplant.

‘Happy Mother’s Day to my mum who is my absolute world, a true example of a strong women. I love her soooo much. [sic]’, Katie’s post read.

It comes after Katie shared that Amy has sadly lost her independence, as she gave an update on her podcast, The Katie Price Show, which she hosts alongside her sister, Sophie.

Speaking directly to her mum, the I’m A Celeb star began: ‘I do feel for you, mum, because people have to understand what my mum’s gone through.

‘Like, her brain is just so active and still switched on. She can’t do the things that she used to do, which is frustrating for her.’

As Amy prepares to join Katie at this year’s Isle of Wight Festival, she explained: ‘I am a patient person, but when my mother teases me and says, “Let’s go look at the shops in Isle of Wight, shall I take my walker or wheelchair?”, and I’m like, “No, we’re taking your wheelchair because I’m not taking an hour”.’

Amy replied: ‘It’s not doing me any good because I’m meant to walk to help myself.’ 

In the wake of Amy’s declining health and loss of mobility, Katie recently shared that she felt motivated to give up the ‘horrible’ habit of vaping, having started to fear for her own lung health.

Meanwhile, the Celebrity Big Brother icon has long been hopeful of expanding her family, having started the IVF process with ex-partner Carl Woods.

However, while documenting the journey for a TV show, Making Babies, she admitted she felt ‘exhausted’ with romance and decided to put the IVF on hold.

Katie is now dating former Married At First Sight star JJ Slater, having got together early last year and sparked both engagement and split rumours on numerous occasions.

A legendary movie director’s ‘disgusted’ thoughts on AI have resurfaced after the recent Studio Ghibli-inspired AI trend in recent days.

Across social media, users have been generating images of real-life events but depicted in the iconic style of the famous Japanese animation company.

The images have, by and large, been created by AI bots, with ethical and moral debates raging once more on websites like X and TikTok over the use of AI.

Inspired by the arguments made on both sides, the thoughts of legendary animator and director Hayao Miyazaki have resurfaced, with the 84-year-old having spoken out against using AI in the past.

Over a career that has spanned several decades, Miyazaki has been responsible for some of the best-loved animated films to come from Japan.

Films such as Spirited Away, My Neighbor Totoro, Princess Mononoke, and Howl’s Moving Castle are beloved across the world, noted for their beautiful hand-drawn art style and imaginative storytelling.

Back in 2016 – during filming for a documentary on his life and work – Miyazaki, 84, was shown an AI-generated video of a zombie dragging itself forward by its head.

In response, Miyazaki told the documentary-makers a story, beginning: ‘Every morning, not in recent days, I see my friend who has a disability.’

He continued: ‘It’s so hard for him just to do a high five; his arm with stiff muscle can’t reach out to my hand. Now, thinking of him, I can’t watch [AI-generated content] and find it interesting.

‘Whoever creates [these videos] has no idea what pain is whatsoever. I am utterly disgusted and I strongly feel that this is an insult to life itself.’

The trend has made its way across social media in recent days, especially on X, with the official account for the White House using the filter – developed by OpenAI – even joining in.

Users on X have been using the filter to depict events from the sporting world, to recreate memes in the famous style of Studio Ghibli, and to redesign personal pictures from their own lives.

The filter has since been restricted, with a statement saying: ‘OpenAI has restrictions on generating images in the style of specific artists, including Studio Ghibli. This is due to copyright and intellectual property concerns.’

Studio Ghibli is based in the Japanese capital of Tokyo and was founded in 1985 by filmmakers Miyazaki, Toshio Suzuki, Isao Takahata, and Yasuyoshi Tokuma.

The first film released under the name of Studio Ghibli was 1986 movie Laputa: Castle in the Sky, which was largely inspired by Miyazaki’s trip to Wales during the mid-80s miners’ strikes.

Studio Ghibli’s next film, My Neighbor Totoro, became internationally famous and has since been adapted into a stage production by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

The animation house became internationally renowned through the 1990s and Miyazaki’s 2001 film Spirited Away became just the second film to win the Academy Award for best animated feature.

Until 2023, Spirited Away was the only non-English language film to win the award, when Miyazaki’s most recent film The Boy and the Heron took the award.

American comedian and television personality Chelsea Handler has revealed how she handed out drugs at the Vanity Fair 2025 Oscars party.

The lavish event was attended by some of Hollywood’s most glamorous, including actress Julia Fox, Wicked star Cynthia Erivo and singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo.

Amid the glitz and the glamour, stand-up comedian and actress Chelsea, 50, said she was on hand with a few party favours of her own.

Chelsea, 50, is renowned for her shocking wit, lashing out at the ‘epidemic’ of ‘horny old men’ in Hollywood (including Al Pacino, Robert De Niro and Elon Musk) and taking a swipe at Prince Harry’s ‘frostbitten penis.’

This also includes a sense of candidness when it comes to her own life – giving herself a topless breast exam in a 2023 post, as she urged men to get vasectomies so that women don’t have to ‘bear the burden of sexual responsibility’.

And, in a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! she has spoken out about her ‘love’ of drugs, and how she offered them out at the showbiz party.

‘I was giving it out to everyone. I was like, ‘Take this, you’re going to have a great time,’ and people were like, ‘OK,’ she told the late-night talk show host.

However, she did not disclose which particular stars she had offered drugs to – nor whether anyone partook.

She also said: ‘I love drugs… micro-dosing especially. People have this stigmatisation around drugs that I find very annoying.

‘Drugs can help so many people.’

She clarified that she prefers ‘natural’ drugs, and is not involved in ‘bad’ street drugs like heroin or cocaine.

‘Those are bad. While they can be fun, they’re bad,’ she joked. ‘I’m talking about psilocybin and LSD.’

‘They treat depression and they help people have fun. But microdose. Not like you’re off your rocker and hallucinating,’ she said.

The comedian has always been open about her past drug use, describing in her 2020 special Evolution how she feared for her life after taking psychedelic toad venom.

She recalled: ‘It’s immediately terrible — like the most terrible thing. Dark swirly greens and purples it was like I was on a rollercoaster and my head was in a vice and I couldn’t move…

‘And I was like “Oh, oh, oh you’re gonna pass away today”. And then I’m like don’t be so dramatic you’re not gonna pass away you’ve already received some brain damage.’

‘Finally, I start to come out of it and I was, first of all, embarrassed because I was nude and that I had just lost complete control.’

In an episode of her 2016 documentary series Chelsea Does, she set out to explore ‘the power of drugs’ by experimenting with ayahuasca and mixing alcohol with Ambien.

Meanwhile, in an interview with Narcos star Pedro Pascal, Chelsea joked about cocaine, asking producers ‘can we get a bag of blow?’ as they chatted about his role in the Netflix crime drama series.

Geri Horner has promised that the full Spice Girls line-up will one day give the British public the reunion we’ve been waiting for.

The singer-songwriter and popstar extraordinaire, 52, joined the legendary girl group when they formed in 1994 and took the world by storm in the second half of the 90s.

Scoring nine number ones between 1996 and 2000 (including six number ones in a row), the Spice Girls became one of the biggest selling pop acts of all time.

Geri – who took on the character of Ginger Spice in the quintet – shockingly left the group in 1998 before their eventual split two years later, but did join them for their reunions in 2007 and 2012.

However, the full line-up of Geri, Melanie C, Mel B, Victoria Beckham, and Emma Bunton – hasn’t performed together since the closing ceremony of the London Olympics.

With the 30th anniversary of debut single Wannabe coming next year, fans have been hopeful that Ginger, Sporty, Scary, Posh, and Baby Spice will reunite to mark the occasion.

And Geri has given the best indication yet that long-time fans will be about to get exactly what they want, telling The Sunday Times that ‘there will be something’ coming.

‘We love each other. I love them, I care about them, and we want the best for each other. We shared something so monumental. We’ve always believed in each other, had trust in each other, which is beautiful.’

She then teased that ‘there will be something’ coming in the future from the girl group who became synonymous with the phrase ‘girl power’ and won five Brit Awards.

‘My hope is we come back together as a collective. It’s more respectful to come as one, so we’ll come as one,’ adding that the five of them do have a WhatsApp group chat.

In fact, she continued: ‘I’m smiling because I got a text from Mel C just this morning. She’s doing her thing out in Australia.’

The children’s author and mum-of-two was the first to leave the Spice Girls, citing exhaustion and creative differences, and embarked on a solo career in the late 90s and early 2000s.

She scored four number ones – all consecutive – between 1999 and 2001 and notched another four top ten hits in addition, with her last hit coming in 2004.

Geri remains the most successful of the Spice Girls from a solo perspective, with her four number ones beating Mel C’s two, Emma’s one, Mel B’s one, and Victoria’s zero.

The group did reunite in 2007, releasing the single Headlines, but the single performed way under expectations, becoming the only Spice Girls single not to make the UK top 10.

Geri’s comments come hot on the heels of Mel C saying she’s ready for a Spice Girls reunion in the near future, adding: ‘We now are getting together because we know if we’re going to do anything, we have to start planning.’

‘We have to start making the plans right now and putting them into action. So fingers crossed. I think me and Mel B are probably going to be going in there all guns blazing.’

Game of Thrones star Sophie Turner is reportedly returning to the UK with her daughters in the wake of her custody battle with ex-husband Joe Jonas.

Sophie, 29, had been locked in a bitter war with the Jonas Brothers star, 35, over custody of their two daughters, Willa, four, and Delphine, two.

Following their 2023 break up, Sophie sued her ex-husband, citing parental child abduction laws to prevent him from keeping their daughters in America.

During this time, she demanded that he hand over the girls’ passports, so that they may be allowed to join her in England. However, these allegations were later dropped.

The pair also seemed to have come to an amicable agreement about their daughters’ future.

It has now been reported that Sophie and Joe have agreed that she will return to the UK with Willa and Delphine.

According to The Mail on Sunday, this new agreement means that the girls will spend the majority of time in England with Sophie and her boyfriend, aristocrat Peregrine ‘Perry’ Pearson.

Family sources have told the publication that Sophie is currently looking at local schools for the girls.

Meanwhile, Waffle House singer Joe has remained in the US after the couple sold their $15 million (£11.5 million) Miami mansion – with their New York condo selling a year later, for just under $6million (£4.6 million).

First meeting in 2016, the couple got married three years later, in a Las Vegas ceremony.

But in 2023, they released a joint statement announcing an end to their marriage.

‘After four wonderful years of marriage, we have mutually decided to amicably end our marriage,’ they wrote.

‘There are many speculative narratives as to why but, truly this is a united decision and we sincerely hope that everyone can respect our wishes for privacy for us and our children.’

However, by September 2023, Sophie made accusations of her daughters’ passports being withheld, claiming that the girls had been ‘removed or wrongfully detained.’

Joe’s rep told Page Six it was a ‘harsh legal position’ that doesn’t align with their ‘amicable co-parenting setup’.

In January 2024, Sophie is said to have asked a judge to dismiss the action and the couple were able to proceed with the interim custody proceedings ‘amicably.’

Since their split, Sophie has become romantically linked to her aristocrat boyfriend, sharing a loved-up post on Instagram for his 30th birthday.

Peregrine is the eldest son and heir of Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray – a former film producer with an estimated net worth of more than £224million, according to reports.

Meanwhile, Joe was photographed on a skiing trip with former beauty queen Stormi Bree in Aspen last year. The pair dated for five months before breaking up in May.

Sophie’s representatives declined to comment on this story. Metro.co.uk also reached out to Joe’s representatives.

Vogue Williams and Spencer Matthews have sold their incredible £5.25million London home in a search for a bigger property for their family.

The couple, who have been married since 2018, share Theodore, six, Gigi, four, and Otto, two, have left their stunning two-storey Battersea home behind after agreeing that they need more than 4,000 sq ft for their family.

Here, we take a look at the former Made In Chelsea star’s home he shared with Vogue and their kids…

Spencer previously revealed how his interior plans for the property were shot down by his wife, who found his idea ‘uncomfortable’.

Speaking to the Sunday Times, Spencer, 36, said: ‘I thought it would be cool to have this fun, New York studio vibe. Exposed brick, an orange resin floor, motorbikes indoors, supercool man cave stuff – but it was outgunned.’

Vogue, 39, wasn’t too pleased with the idea, hitting back: ‘I absolutely hated it. It was so uncomfortable. And then I had to pay to get wood flooring instead.’

The property clearly had some unique touches throughout, however, with a selection of colourful artwork by Irish artists including Chloe Early and Conor Harrington.

A bright orange sectional sofa also took centre stage in the house, adorned with turquoise striped cushions.

The couple also enjoyed family time in a huge 750 sq ft open plan kitchen and living room which opened up into a stunning terrace with outdoor furniture and a grill.

The primary bedroom of the property included an en-suite, with two additional bedrooms throughout the home.

The modern space also included a fully-equipped home gym for the fitness fanatic couple, as well as a home cinema.

The house hit the market for a cool £5.25 million as the couple, who also have a property in Vogue’s native Dublin, planned their move to a new forever home.

Spencer recently revealed that he won’t be leaving his huge fortune to his kids, saying them inheriting the huge amount of money could be detrimental.

‘Suffer is too strong a word, but it’s very important that my kids have to challenge themselves and experience things on their own,’ he stated.

‘There’s no point in doing well in life and then giving it all to your kids. It’s doing them a huge disservice.’

Spencer is the son of multimillionaire Eden Rock hotelier David Matthews. He attended the same school as Prince William – Eton College – where fees are currently £63,000 a year.

He has gone on to launch his own business, CleanCo, which sells alcohol-free spirits. Alongside the company, he has capitalised on the interest in him with podcasts and TV appearances. He has been a part of Celebrity MasterChef, The Jump, and Watchdog. Spencer is also an investor in his parent’s hotel, Eden Rock in the Caribbean.

Due to the multiple ventures, he has been able to amass quite the fortune – Spencer is estimated to be worth around £12.5 million according to The Sun.

Talking further about his decision, Spencer praised comedian Jimmy Carr, who became a father when his son Rockefeller was born in 2019, for his standpoint.

‘Jimmy quite eloquently talks about trust fund kids who are given everything, and he sees them as just being really unfortunate, actually and I would completely agree,’ he said.

The 52-year-old previously claimed on the Diary of a CEO podcast that children who inherit large sums of money are often ‘mentally tortured’.

‘Having stuff isn’t fun. Getting stuff is fun, right? It’s not the pursuit of happiness, it’s the happiness of the pursuit,’ he reasoned.

Spencer shared similar sentiments: ‘If you’re a young man who’s just given everything, or a young woman, who’s just given everything, you may not ever understand the need to work because you have what you think you want, and then, therefore, you won’t ever feel proud of yourself.

‘You won’t ever have a sense of achievement.’

Meanwhile, Vogue’s net worth is estimated to be over £3 million thanks to her various TV and radio gigs, her own tan range, Bare By Vogue, and a huge deal with Fairy which reportedly brought her in £1.4 million alone last year.

The couple have recently been forced to deny rumours that their marriage is over, with Vogue taking to social media to hit back at the ‘cruel’ claims.

Sharing a montage of them together, she wrote: ‘It’s with great sadness that I have to let you know that Spen and I are NOT breaking up!

‘I usually avoid addressing baseless and cruel rumours but this just keeps coming up. It’s disappointing to see this narrative being pushed almost daily when it’s absolutely not true and much more importantly, I don’t want my children hearing these lies in the playground.

‘We’re not sure what the angle is or where it’s coming from but the whole thing feels very strange and mean.’

She reassured fans that they are ‘very happily married and in love’ but wanted to ‘post the truth’ to put an end to the speculation.

James Bond villain Bruce Glover has died aged 92, his son has confirmed.

Back to the Future actor Crispin paid tribute to his father by writing: ‘Bruce Herbert Glover. May 2, 1932 – March 12, 2025.’

The Charlie’s Angel actor, 60, also shared a photo of himself as a child, his father, and his mother.

Glover is best known for portraying the assassin Mr Wint in Diamonds Are Forever and also featured in the Hollywood classic Chinatown.

A representative for Crispin confirmed the news of Bruce’s passing this Friday but did not disclose a specific cause of death.

He last appeared in the 2021 short film An Approximation of their Barbarous Manners in which he played a fictional version of himself.

His small screen credits included The Dukes Of Hazzard, Perry Mason, The Mod Squad, Barney Miller and CHiPs.

But his best-remembered role arrived in 1971 when he and jazz bassist Putter Smith played assassins Mr. Whit and Mr. Kidd who are after the blood of Sean Connery’s James Bond in Diamonds Are Forever.

He later said Guy Hamilton, the director of Diamonds Are Forever, ‘was wide open to every idea I had and a lot of the success of the humor of that film was me.’

He added: ‘Those were all my ideas. The final moment in the film where Sean Connery does that rude thing pushing the hooha up my yaha and giving that character his final great sexual moment is the biggest laugh in the movie.’

Bruce welcomed Crispin with his second wife, ballerina Betty Krachey, to whom he was happily married for 56 years from 1960 until her death in 2016.
