Janet Street-Porter has come under fire after posting a comment on social media following the tragic death of Friends star, Matthew Perry, who was found unresponsive in his hot tub

Loose Women’s Janet Street-Porter has been slammed for an insensitive tweet she made following the death of Friends legend, Matthew Perry.

The Chandler Bing star, 54, died at his home in Los Angeles over the weekend after being found unresponsive in his hot tub. Following the devastating news, a host of celebrities paid tribute to the troubled actor, including his Friends co-stars. However, Janet’s response to the tragedy has angered many of Matt’s fans.

Taking to X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday, she said: “Am I the only person who has managed to live a fulfilling life without watching Friends?” The outspoken host was quickly criticised online with many asking why she felt the need to criticise the show after the actor’s tragic passing.

One enraged fan, said: “I haven’t either, but I am showing respect to the cast and viewers by not posting anything irrelevant or disrespectful to them. Remember the Be Kind campaign?????”, referencing a social media campaign that was launched back in 2017.

Another wrote: “No but you’re the only one who feels the need to tell everyone love. Maybe let people enjoy what they want to enjoy and remember a wonderful actor, bless your heart.” While a third replied: “I don’t think you are able to understand just how much this show was the background to a lot of our lives, sure it may not have been your thing but it really was/is escapism and a warm comforting hug away from the reality of life. Try it, it just got better and better.”

A fourth questioned the timing of tweet while a fifth quipped: “‘I think we must cancel each other out then Janet because I live a happy and fulfilling life having never watched Loose Women. Each to their own.” Matt will be remembered for starring in one of the most successful sitcoms of all time, alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, David Schwimmer, Matt LeBlanc and Lisa Kudrow.

On Monday, the cast of Friends said they were “utterly devastated” by the death of their beloved co-star in a statement released to People magazine, which read: “We are all so utterly devastated by the loss of Matthew. We were more than just cast mates. We are a family. There is so much to say, but right now we’re going to take a moment to grieve and process this unfathomable loss.”

They added: “In time we will say more, as and when we are able. For now, our thoughts and our love are with Matty’s family, his friends, and everyone who loved him around the world.”

Sarah, Duchess of York is swapping royal life for ITV’s Loose Women as she helps to launch their breast cancer campaign, following her own diagnosis earlier this year

Sarah, Duchess of York will be swapping royal palaces for the ITV studios as she joins the Loose Women panel.

The Duchess will appear alongside regulars Christine Lampard, Coleen Nolan and Brenda Edwards as she urges women across the nation to attend their mammograms. It comes just months after the royal, 64, underwent a mastectomy after having been diagnosed with breast cancer herself.

On Thursday, the former wife of Prince Andrew will make her debut on the programme and open up about her diagnosis for the first time. The Duchess will sit alongside Brenda who in 2016 was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer, while Coleen’s older sister, Bernie Nolan, passed away from breast cancer.

Ahead of joining the programme which will air on Thursday, the Duchess said: “I almost missed the screening appointment that saved my life. I couldn’t face a journey into London on a hot day this summer and it was only my sister Jane’s insistence that I went, that persuaded me. My cancer was completely symptom-free – I never found a lump and did not feel ill. My experience underlines the vital importance of getting screened when you’re called in. It’s a matter of grave concern that 1.2 million mammogram appointments have been missed, according to the latest figures, many of them during the pandemic.

“I am proud to be supporting the campaign by Loose Women, backed by NHS England, to persuade women to catch up on missed appointments and to turn up when they are called in. Don’t skip your screening – it could save your life as it did mine.” It was confirmed in June by a representative for Sarah that she was delivered the news following a routine mammogram.

Shortly after, she went under the knife and had a single mastectomy at the King Edward VII Hospital in Marylebone, Central London, which was hailed as a “success”. Now, the mum to Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie has revealed she has named her new breast ‘Kevin’ as it makes her laugh.

Having spent four days in intensive care following the surgery, Sarah said: “I’m taking this as a real gift to me to change my life, to nurture myself.” According to research and support charity Breast Cancer Now, Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the UK with 1 woman diagnosed every 10 minutes. Around 55,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed with breast cancer every year in the UK.

Loose Women has teamed up with Breast Cancer Now for their Don’t Skip Your Screening campaign, encouraging women to attend screenings and seek advice on any unusual changes that they discover on or around their breasts.

Sarah, Duchess of York, joins Loose Women on Thursday, November 2, from 12:30pm on ITV and ITVX.

Madeleine’s father is Palestinian, and aside from helping her local community in Manchester and doing charity work the beauty queen will soon travel to a Palestinian refugee camp

It’s a bit of a cliche for beauty queens to call for world peace at pageants, but when Madeleine Roche was crowned Miss Great Britain last week, the first mixed-race winner in 78 years of the contest and proudly half Palestinian, peace was genuinely, and heavily, playing on her mind.

After five years of competing in the contest, she recalls the moment her dream finally came true. “I was just closing my eyes and really, really hoping that I’d hear them shout out ‘Madeleine’. When they did it was all a bit of a blank. I just remember thinking ‘Don’t cry, don’t cry. You’ll have really ugly pictures if you cry,” explains the 33-year-old, who is married to Shane Jr, son of the Mirror’s Coleen Nolan and EastEnders ’ actor Shane Richie.

But away from the pageant final, the Israel-Hamas conflict raged on, making her win bittersweet as she feels a responsibility to represent her people. “It’s been really hard when you’re seeing everything that’s going on over there. Any loss of life is really tragic and I found it really emotional, and it really did affect me, is affecting me, as I’m sure it is people all around the world… But hopefully I made my Arabic family proud. I’m just praying for there to be a peaceful solution,” she explains.

Madeleine’s father is Palestinian, and aside from helping her local community in Manchester and doing charity work the beauty queen will soon travel to Jordan to a Palestinian refugee camp where her grandparents lived after escaping war in her new role as Miss Great Britain.

“My family were displaced and they were forced to leave Palestine back in the fifties. My grandfather’s house was bombed and his father was killed and his family had to escape,” she says. “They actually lived in caves on the side of the mountain while they were waiting for an escape route.

“My grandmother and her family had to live in a fire station after their house was obliterated and they escaped to Jordan. They were refugees there and were granted Jordanian nationalities and passports because they were stripped of their Palestinian ones.” This will be an emotional experience for the newly crowned Miss Great Britain, but she knows the importance of using her platform to help others.

“I hundred percent feel so passionately about it. But equally I think it’s so important to take passion out of it and actually come with facts and figures and correct information, which is what I try and do and what I try to share on social media. But at the end of the day, it’s harrowing. Obviously peace and ceasefire is so important. And with that should come equality and basic human rights on both sides.”

Loose Women star Coleen, 58, was in the crowd when Madeleine was crowned winner and says she screamed louder than she ever has in her life. Madeline says: “I’d been practising my walk in Coleen’s kitchen; she gave me the space to do it. But they were so proud and so happy. They were all crying more than I was.”

Coleen, who has been joking she can call herself a Miss GB winner-in-law, said: “I cannot tell you how proud I am of my daughter in new Maddie becoming the new Miss Great Britain. Maddie was the best person for the job.” Madeleine has been competing in pageants since she was young, and this was her fifth attempt at the Miss Great Britain contest.

She explains that she was emboldened to compete to show other girls that there are all different ways to be beautiful. “Growing up there wasn’t really anybody that looked like me in the media or anybody in pageants,” she says. “I thought that it would be amazing to be able to show my little sister and other women everywhere that there is a place for Arab girls.”

Madeleine grew up in Deal, Kent, where there were not many ethnic minorities. “There was my dad and his best friend and that was about it,” she says. “I was bullied a little bit when I was younger due to my ethnicity. So I think that gave me a bit of a step back as to what actually what beauty meant here. Just name calling unkind names.

Being from such a small, predominantly white town was quite hard.” However Madeleine explains that pageants helped her confidence to grow, as did the love of her husband Shane, whom she met seven years ago when his band played at a pageant she was competing in. “He taught me to be more fun, I used to be more uptight. I just prefer the version of myself when I am around him,” she says.

 

Coleen Nolan has revealed her children were ‘confused’ about her romance with Michael Jones after the Loose Women star struggled to commit to the relationship in the first year

Coleen Nolan has admitted that her children weren’t “sure” about her new boyfriend, admitting her own uncertainty about the relationship in its first year left the three young adults “confused”.

The Loose Women host is currently dating Michael Jones, after swiping ‘right’ on his Tinder profile during the Covid-19 lockdown. Their romance hasn’t exactly been smooth sailing, however, with Coleen splitting from the supermarket logistics worker in April 2022 after one year together.

They have since reunited and even have plans to move in together when Coleen’s youngest child, Ciara, goes away travelling with her boyfriend in January. The reality TV star has now confessed that her lack of commitment in the first year of their relationship didn’t exactly help the 57-year-old integrate into her family.

“The first year I was with Michael, they weren’t sure because, one minute I was all about him and the next I was saying I finished it, so they were confused,” the 58-year-old told OK! magazine. After they’d split, Coleen found herself desperately missing Michael and reconsidering their breakup.

The distance gave her the band singer the space to “sort my head out and accept that I deserve to be and can be loved like that,” after previously being cheated on by her first husband, Shane Richie. “But now I’m very different and Michael feels more secure, the kids get on great with him. They’re really supportive now, so it’s nice,” Coleen continued. “They were super protective of me so they didn’t want me to go back on the dating scene and jump, because they’ve seen me go through things before.”

Coleen has since admitted she never expected to fall in love again after enduring infidelity and two divorces in the public eye. “If someone had told me three years ago that I’d find love again I would have laughed hysterically! But I feel so lucky now that it’s happened,” she said. “It feels wonderful to be forging ahead with someone I love by my side. And if it doesn’t work out at some point then I know I can be alone too and still survive.”

Coleen has previously hailed Michael for boosting her self-confidence, revealing that she doesn’t feel the need to dress up for him. “I’ll be sitting there in my pyjamas with no makeup on, swollen eyes and a cold sore and he still looks at me like I’m the best thing since sliced bread,” she said. “Normally I’d be thinking, ‘I need to put make-up on or he won’t fancy me or love me!’ And Michael’s come along and he just looks at me like I’ve never been looked at before.”

Coleen was first married to EastEnders’ Shane Richie, with whom she shares two sons, Jake and Shane Roche Jr. She also has a daughter, Ciara, with her second husband, Ray Fensome. The pair split in 2017, after 11 years of marriage.

Mysterious Girl hitmaker Peter Andre’s wife Emily revealed a rare insight into the couple’s parenting as she appeared on ITV’s Loose Women on Monday

Peter Andre’s wife Emily revealed their parenting “strengths” on Loose Women.

Appearing on the ITV panel programme on Monday, the NHS doctor opened up about her parenting ahead of welcoming baby number three. It’ll be Pete’s fifth child as he shares 18-year-old Junior and 16-year-old Princess with ex-wife Katie Price and two children with Emily, nine-year-old Amelia and six-year-old son Theo.

It was only last month that Emily and Pete said they were “delighted” their kids we “so excited” for the new addition, and Emily spoke more about their parenting styles in her latest TV appearance alongside the star-studded hosts.

After being asked if the two manage their “teamwork”, Emily admitted: “Yeah, we try to because, you know, it’s remembering another thing on top of everything else isn’t it?” She made the comment after the panel joked they’ll have one more set of teeth to brush in the mornings with their little ones Amelia and Theo.

Emily added: “So yeah we do try and remind each other. But I also think in a, you know, within parents, you’ve each got your strengths and you’ve just got to work together, do you best, that’s all you can do isn’t it.”

Peter shared the happy baby news in October with an adorable photo of the pair. Posting a photo of himself and Emily, 34, holding scans of their baby, he wrote on Instagram : “We are delighted to share the news with you all. A new addition to our family in 2024. The kids are so excited. So are we.”

Among the friends and celebrities to congratulate the couple was ex-wife Katie’s ex-husband Kieran Hayler, who also shares two children with the former glamour model. Sharing a heart emoji, he wrote simply: “Congratulations.”

James Jordan also commented: “Such amazing news my friend – family is everything.” While Catherine Tyldesley wrote: “Oh guys!!! How gorgeous!!!! Huge congratulations xxx.” Alex Beresford commented: “Congratulations guys.” While Lizzie Cundy wrote: “What !! Another ?? Wow !!! Huge congratulations darlings!!!!”

It comes a year after Peter said that he and Emily were open to the idea of having another child, telling OK!: “We do talk about it all the time, but one minute we’re a “yes” and the next we’re a “no”. We love the idea of having one more child, because the two we have together are the most amazing kids – but that thought usually lasts until we see other people with screaming babies! I don’t know.

“Maybe Junior will be bringing our grandchild to visit in the next 10 years.” However, just 12 months prior the pair had ruled out another baby as “there aren’t enough hours in the day” to balance the four they currently have. While Peter said simply ‘hell no’, Emily explained: “I love babies, don’t get me wrong. But I was watching Millie talking yesterday with Theo and I thought ‘If I have a baby, it will be so hard to do this’.”

“And I think actually the other kids would end up missing out a bit. So, for me, it’s just lovely how it is now. I love giving them all my focus and attention. I just don’t think the dynamic is right for a baby at the moment.”

Emily and Peter married at Mamhead House in Exeter in 2015 after first becoming friends five years prior when their families met. The pair went on to date in 2012, with Peter getting down on one knee just a few years later.

Loose Women star Linda Robson has said ‘enough is enough’ as she confirmed her marriage to husband Mark Dunford is over – after months of speculation the pair had split

Loose Women star Linda Robson has confirmed she and her husband Mark Dunford are no longer together.

The ITV daytime show’s panelist and Birds of a Feather star, 65, and her husband Mark had been married for 33 years – but now Linda has confirmed they have split as she said “enough is enough”.

Linda had sparked speculation of marriage woes for months as she spoke about her and Mark’s relationship on the show. Speaking in September, Linda said she was “not looking for anyone”, before swearing and saying she “can’t be f***ked”.

Now, the star has confirmed to Woman magazine she is single. She said of her ex-husband Mark: “He’s a really good dad and we had some good years, but enough is enough.

“I’ve got my family and my kids around me. And I’m going on a cruise with Lesley Joseph in November. I’m keeping busy. I feel fine. I’m just going away on trips all the time.

“I’m not interested [in dating] honestly. I can’t be a***d with all that.”

Linda sparked speculation of marriage woes with comments on Loose Women – one of which saw her discuss her sex life, as she revealed she and Mark had not had sex in two years. Linda said on the ITV show in June: “Can I just say I’ve been celibate for two years?”, before Denise Welch chimed in to add: “I know, but you’ve got to get with it.”

Linda then went on to say: “I know, you got me a lady friend,” before Denise confirmed she did make the purchase.

However, Linda had previously dismissed concerns over her marriage – insisting rumours she and Mark were no longer together as “rubbish”.

Discussing the speculation, Linda said: “That’s a load of rubbish. We’re still living together. We both love our kids more than anything else in the world, obviously you have a few hiccups in every marriage.

“We’ve been married 33 years so it’s not going to be all plain sailing, but we’re still together at the moment.” Then, in August, Linda made a cryptic comment about Mark and her marriage struggles as she made a dig at her husband when she discussed how she spent her weekend.

In a chat about her weekend on the programme, Linda revealed she took herself out for dinner as all the kids had flown the next and the only people she was home with was her dog and her husband, before she added: “Notice the order!” She had mentioned her pet pooch before her husband, making the other Loose Women stars break out in hysterics.

Linda and Mark first met when they were teens but didn’t begin dating until years later. She revealed in 2017: “I used to babysit for Mark – he was a couple of years younger than me… I was 16 and he was 13 and a half, and he was a bit of a pain, to be honest. And we lived in the street next to each other.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle moved to America when they left the Royal Family and now live in Montecito with their two children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet

King Charles doesn’t have a relationship with his two youngest grandchildren but he’s eager to change that, according to a royal expert.

The monarch has had very few chances to see Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet as the youngsters live in America with their parents Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex relocated to the US when they left the Royal Family four years ago.

Since then, they’ve rarely brought their children back to the UK amid security fears and a bitter feud with the royals. Royal expert Jennie Bond has said the King would now love the chance to get to know his grandchildren.

“Having grandchildren is a powerful tug on the heartstrings. Little people who are part of your bloodline and have had nothing to do with family quarrels and tensions,” she told OK! magazine.

“So I can imagine that the King very much wants the chance to get to know Archie and Lilibet and to create some memories for them.” The expert also suggested Archie and Lilibet may be the key to ending the royal feud.

She said the youngsters might convince Charles and Harry to “forgive, if not forget, the bitter rows of the past.” Jennie added: “I fervently hope that Harry will not follow Meghan’s example of remaining obdurately estranged from her father and most of her family.”

The King has only met Lilibet once and Archie just a handful of times. Royal author Tom Quinn told The Mirror Charles is “in discussions to visit America” to see Harry, Meghan and their two kids.

Queen Camilla is also thought to be encouraging efforts to boost their bond after Charles sent Lilibet a “heartfelt gift and card” for her third birthday earlier this month. Tom told us: “Charles has had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future, and there is no doubt if it goes ahead he would build in time to visit his youngest son and his grandchildren, but there are mountains of planning to be overcome before that becomes even a remote possibility.”

He continued: “King Charles has privately visited many other countries – he made an unpublicised visit to Transylvania for example to check up on his rental properties – so it’s certainly possible that he would make a discreet private visit to Harry and the children in California. He is desperate to see them and hates the idea that Archie and Lily will not remember him as the warm friendly grandfather he wants to be.”

King Charles and Prince Harry have very little chance of ever resolving their feud if the pair can’t resolve their disagreement over one issue in particular

King Charles is finding it impossible to stop holding a grudge against Prince Harry despite loving his son, a Royal expert has claimed.

A new report suggests that while the King obviously adores his son he is unable to forgive him for what he wrote about his family in his memoir Spare. Now Royal biographer Christopher Andersen has admitted that he believes it may be impossible for Charles to ever see past Harry’s perceived discretions.

The situation is made even more difficult because of Harry’s critique of Camilla according to the expert. Andersen said: “I think people have to realise that the one thing that Charles finds unforgivable is criticism of Camilla.”

Talking to Fox News Digital, Anderson said that “no criticism” of Camilla could be deemed acceptable and that “unfortunately for Harry” he has said “some pretty devastating things about her.” He said: “Prince Harry made it clear that he felt she was the villain in the piece.

“I think that still bothers the king, and I don’t know that it will be easy for him to [forgive]. I don’t think they’ll ever forgive Harry for that.” He added that Harry still “resents” Camilla and that until that is resolved the Duke “is on his own.”

The report comes after Royal commentator Lizzie Cundy hit out at Harry after he decided not to mark Father’s Day with a public message for his father. She said: “I thought it was very poignant that Prince William sent this beautiful post. It shows the bond they still have and the respect he has for his father, and there’s Harry, very noticeably absent.

Talking to GBN America Lizzie continued: “Let’s not forget, this is a 75-year-old man suffering with cancer, going on with all his duties, at Trooping the Colour he was stood there in the pouring rain. You just think, ‘Wow, this man is absolutely incredible’, he is everything Harry isn’t.”

Lizzie then gave her damning verdict that Harry’s behaviour has gone too far and while she did admit nobody knows if the Duke of Sussex celebrated his father in private, his actions are beyond reproach in her view. She concluded: “Harry just seems to have lost the plot. And how hurtful indeed not to even send a Father’s Day message. We don’t know if he did it privately.

“Normally, Harry and Meghan are very vocal, but if they can’t post a Father’s Day message, that’s unforgivable.”

Prince Harry and King Charles have been making steps to mend their broken relationship, with one royal expert suggesting the monarch is planning to visit his son

King Charles seems “willing to find a resolution” to his bitter feud with Prince Harry, with reports suggesting he plans to make a trip to see his son.

The father-and-son have been embroiled in a bitter feud ever since Harry left the Royal Family. However, they have been taking small steps to reconcile and even reunited in London earlier this year.

Now, royal author Tom Quinn has claimed Charles has had discussions about visiting America to meet with Harry, Meghan Markle and their two children – Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. Relationship expert Louella Alderson believes it could be the first step in Harry and Charles resolving their differences.

Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she said: “The logistics behind King Charles’s making a trip to America, whether it’s private or not, and meeting with Harry without may prove difficult. King Charles has many Royal obligations and now health issues as well, so a trip to America in any capacity would likely require careful planning and coordination.

“This fact alone means if King Charles is willing to make the effort and put forth the time and energy to visit Harry in America, it could be a significant gesture of his desire to mend their relationship. It’s possible that he may be more willing to address any issues and work towards finding a resolution than he has been previously.”

However, she admitted the trip might not be a success. Louella explained: “While it may show a willingness on the King’s part to try and reconcile their relationship, it ultimately depends on both parties being open to communication and willing to start working through any issues that have caused tension between them.”

The expert added: “Ultimately, the success of this trip and potential reconciliation between King Charles and Harry will depend on both parties being open and committed to resolving their differences. It may take time for their relationship to fully heal after the events of recent years, but every effort made towards reconciliation is a positive step.”

Her comments come after Tom Quinn previously told The Mirror: “Charles has had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future, and there is no doubt if it goes ahead he would build in time to visit his youngest son and his grandchildren, but there are mountains of planning to be overcome before that becomes even a remote possibility.”

He continued: “King Charles has privately visited many other countries – he made an unpublicised visit to Transylvania for example to check up on his rental properties – so it’s certainly possible that he would make a discreet private visit to Harry and the children in California. He is desperate to see them and hates the idea that Archie and Lily will not remember him as the warm friendly grandfather he wants to be.”

Prince William was seen busting out his best dance moves at Taylor Swift’s London concert before taking two of his children backstage to meet the singer-songwriter

Taylor Swift was seen smiling as she spent time with Prince William, having previously rejected the chance to work with Meghan Markle.

The Prince of Wales was seen busting some wild dance moves as he watched Taylor’s Eras Tour concert at Wembley Stadium on Friday night, before then being invited to meet the singer backstage. William also took his two eldest children – Prince George and Princess Charlotte – to chat with Taylor.

The group all beamed as they posed for a selfie, with Taylor’s boyfriend Travis Kelce even making an appearance. The meeting couldn’t be further from what happened when the Duchess of Sussex tried to convince Taylor to appear on her Archetypes podcast with a “personal letter”.

Meghan is believed to have reached out to Taylor to join her on her podcast last year but was rejected by the singer. According to the Telegraph, Meghan wrote a “personal letter” to Taylor, asking her to appear on Archetypes, “but the singer declined, through a representative.”

Archetypes ran for one season on Spotify, with Meghan producing 12 episodes. The podcast had a number of guest star appearances from celebrities such as Serena Williams, Paris Hilton and Jameela Jamil.

However, the show was scrapped from the streaming service when it was announced Meghan and her husband Prince Harry had been axed from Spotify. Following the axe, a top Spotify executive lashed out at Harry and Meghan and labelled them “f****** grifters”.

After leaving Spotify, Meghan joined forced with podcast network Lemonada, which has already distributed the first season of Archetypes. Meghan is also set to launch a new podcast with the company.

The new show is set for release next year. Meghan announced her partnership with Lemonada by releasing a statement earlier this year. She said: “I’m proud to now be able to share that I am joining the brilliant team at Lemonada to continue my love of podcasting.
