Former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham issued a statement where she admitted to feeling ‘heartbroken’ as she also sent a four-word message to her daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz

Victoria Beckham sent a public message to her daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz after admitting she was “heartbroken”.

The Spice Girl turned fashion designer took to her Instagram Stories to share a lengthy message amid the wildfires taking over Los Angeles. She said: “Seeing the devastation and loss caused by these wildfires is truly heartbreaking. Los Angeles holds such a special place in our family’s hearts, and our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected, especially those who have lose their homes of loved ones.

“We are immensely grateful to the brave firefighters and first responders who are risking their lives to protect others. Please stay sage and look after each other during this devastating time. Victoria x.” Following her message, Victoria shared a photo with her daughter-in-law Nicola, who is married to eldest son Brooklyn Beckham.

The pair were seen on a beach overlooking the sunset as Victoria said: “Happy birthday @nicolaannepeltzbeckham!!! Love you so much xxxx.” Five people have been sadly confirmed to have lost their lives in the blaze according to officials. It’s reported over 1,000 homes have been destroyed and more than 70,000 people evacuated.

She also addressed the wildfires happing in Los Angeles

One of the areas hardest hit is the Pacific Palisades, an affluent Los Angeles neighbourhood that is the home to many high profile A-listers, including Mandy Moore, Paris Hilton, Anthony Hopkins and Jamie Lee Curtis, all of whom have lost their homes in the unfolding carnage.

Brooklyn has shared images of the wildfires from his $3.8million condo as the flames could be seen lighting up the night sky. Amid his wedding to Nicola in 2022, there was speculation of a rift between his new wife and famous mum. There were rumours that Nicola “refused” to wear her Victoria Beckham design wedding gown, while others said Victoria had declined to make her dress.

But a source said they decided to make peace for the sake of the family. Last year, the pair were pictured together at various family events, including Victoria’s fashion shows. Speaking to OK! magazine, a source claimed it took some time for the family to adjust to the new dynamic after the wedding. They said: “It’s difficult at times because Victoria is used to being the boss and ruling everything – she’s the matriarch of the family.

“Nicola and Victoria are both very strong characters, so it was either going to end in them losing the relationship Victoria and David have with Brooklyn, or the issues needed to be put to bed to bring them all back together.” In October, Nicola proved all was good with her mother-in-law as she even replicated her famous look.

Nicola showed off a new hairstyle that looked the spitting image of her mother-in-law in her Spice Girl days. She showed off her sleek dark bob that Victoria was famous for sporting in the 90s. Fans were quick to point out the similarity to a young Victoria as one wrote: “Posh Spice vibes.” Another commented: “Yessss! Living for this hair!” A third posted: “Love the short hair on you Nic.” A fourth said: “I love the hair!” as a fifth added: “Hair is 10/10.”

Only Connect presenter Victoria Coren Mithell has spoken out after viewers spotted an apparent continuity error on the BBC Two quiz show during an episode that aired this week

Presenter Victoria Coren Mitchell addressed confusion among Only Connect viewers this week after an apparent continuity error was spotted in a recent episode.

Victoria, 52, welcomed back two teams on Monday night’s episode of the BBC quiz show. The teams competed against each other in a series of general knowledge rounds in the hope of progressing to the next stage of the contest.

The host was seen wearing a pink floral outfit and sporting red painted nails during her introduction, in which she jokingly mentioned using AI to create a more exciting message. However, fans noted that her appearance changed just moments later, as reported by the Express.

She said in the introduction: “Good evening. This week I invited the BBC’s in-house AI remarks generator to look beyond ordinary light entertainment, panel shows and quizzes, and trawl other genres to come up with an introduction suitable for a big popular ratings hit.”

Her painted nails were visible as she picked up a phone to read the generated introduction. Victoria continued, “It came up with this, ‘Good evening and welcome to Connect-Enders, a world of bitter rivalries and long-running feuds. Where devious characters are forever coming and going, amid a bewildering maelstrom of Byzantine promiscuity’.”

However, just moments later, the host’s nails were bare, despite wearing the same outfit. It wasn’t long before viewers spotted the discrepancy and took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to voice their confusion. As reported by the outlet, one viewer wrote: “Watching #onlyconnect on delay and in [Victoria’s] intro she has red nails holding the phone, yet later with the question cards, no nail varnsh. The viewers of this show are far too observant and analytical to miss something like that continuity!” Another queried: “Did anyone else notice Victoria’s nails?”

A third chimed in: “[Victoria] hang on, how long does it take to film a show. At the beginning you have red nails and then a few moments later they have gone #OnlyConnect.” Amid the confusion, Victoria responded to that tweet, offering a potential explanation. She wrote: “What was the intro? There was one where I had to record a whole different start on a different day because I made a joke about Strictly which spooked the powers that be. Sounds like must have been this one!”

It isn’t the first time the presenter has stirred up a storm online over an episode of the quiz show. Not one to shy away from a risqué joke, she recently joked about Michael Portillo. As previously reported, as she wrapped up an episode last month, she cheekily said: “Coming up next on BBC Two is another episode in that wonderful series sponsored by the RSPB, where celebrities look after birds before handing them on to other celebrities to raise awareness of struggling avian numbers.”

She continued: “I have so enjoyed watching the big names of BBC Two passing their feathered dependents onto other presenters that I’ve decided to join in myself. Tonight, I will eagerly be taking several swallows from Michael Portillo.” The joke left viewers stunned, with one even claiming they had been left “traumatised”.

As Prince Harry and Meghan’s home in Montecito, California has come under threat from extensive wildfires, we take a look inside the lavish mansion reportedly worth nearly $30 million

Wildfires currently raging across California have put the home shared by Prince Harry and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and their two children – Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three – under threat. The “high fire risk” property, which the couple has lived in since 2020, may be at risk for power shut downs, electricity companies operating in the area have warned, as the fires continue to devastate the region.

One of the main power providers in the area said they are “considering a Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) in parts of Santa Barbara County due to a Red Flag Warning and increased risk of wildfires”. The spokesperson added that “affected customers” would be contacted with this news in areas “including Montecito”.

This could mean that the Duke and Duchess potentially have to leave their home to move somewhere safer whilst the wildfires continue.

30,000 people have already been ordered to evacuate in Los Angeles as the Pacific Palisades – a wealthy neighbourhood not dissimilar from Montecito – were affected by the fires, which increased in violence due to strong winds.

Meghan and Harry first purchased their home back in 2020 after making their shock royal exit from the UK. At first, the couple moved from Canada to the California home of Hollywood pal Tyler Perry, who offered them a safe haven and private security amid the COVID-19 pandemic, as the couple struggled to find their feet after their taxpayer-funded police security was removed.

After staying in Perry’s home – they have since made him godfather to their daughter Princess Lilibet.

They purchased the mansion for $14.65 million at the time, and its value has increased astronomically in the nearly five years they have called the lavish property home: it is now reportedly valued at $29 million (£23.5 million) – around double what they are said to have paid for it.

The stunning nine-bedroom property is certainly fit for royalty, and Meghan admitted in a 2022 profile for The Cut magazine that she and Harry fell in love with it almost instantly. “We were looking in this area…and this house kept popping up online in searches…We didn’t have jobs, so we just were not going to come and see this house. It wasn’t possible. It’s like when I was younger and you’re window shopping — it’s like, I don’t want to go and look at all the things that I can’t afford. That doesn’t feel good,” Meghan explained.

However, the couple did end up visiting the property, and swiftly fell so in love with the grounds – that comes in at over 5 acres, affording the couple and their children a lot of privacy – that they told the agent that they wanted it before seeing the inside, with Meghan claiming that two interconnected palm trees in the garden that reminded Harry of their relationship a major selling point.

Their Montecito home was described by the journalist interviewing Meghan for the profile as “the kind of big that startles you into remembering that unimaginable wealth is actually someone’s daily reality. It evokes a classic Tuscan villa, a Napa vineyard, and a manicured Beverly Hills country club decorated with careful, considered coastal tones for a casual air — the home equivalent of billionaires dressing down in denim.”

Sotheby’s International Realty)According to the Daily Mail, the property was first built in 2003, and is known as ‘The Chateau’ and has been called a “hidden paradise”. The luxurious mansion took five years to build and came with a seriously impressive list of amenities, including a home theatre, a gym, a wet and dry sauna, a guest house with two bedrooms, a library, a home office, a garage big enough to fit five cars, a wine cellar, and an arcade.

The vast outside space of the estate is reported to be equally as impressive: “The entrance to the property opens onto a wide lane paved with hand-cut Santa Barbara Stone that leads through a grand archway of trees to the main residence, according to Zillow.

“The estate has sweeping lawns, tiered rose gardens, tall Italian cypress trees, blooming lavender, century-old olive trees, a tennis court, tea house, children’s cottage, and a pool,” the Mail reports, as well as the chicken coop that the public got a glimpse of during Harry and Meghan’s bombshell interview with Oprah back in 2021.

Whilst Meghan’s new show for Netflix – With Love, Meghan will explore the Duchess’s best “tips and tricks” on everything from gardening to cooking with the help of celebrity pals “old and new” over eight episodes – was filmed in Montecito, she didn’t use her own home for the filming. Instead, the show was filmed at a rented mansion nearby, reportedly worth $6 million.

Lily Allen and David Harbour’s relationship has been rocked by claims of infidelity, leading to their separation before Christmas amid allegations of Harbour using the Raya app

Lily Allen and David Harbour, who married in 2020 after meeting on the dating app Raya, separated shortly before Christmas.

Reports suggest that Allen discovered Harbour’s active profile on the exclusive dating app Raya, where they initially met in 2019. This revelation has raised concerns about potential infidelity. In a candid discussion on her podcast, Miss Me?, Allen shared that she never shamed her former husband if he was feeling explorative.

Allen said:”I wonder if I kink-shame my husband. Because he quite often asks for things, and I’m like: ‘No, babe, it’s not happening.’ I’m not like: ‘You piece of s***, how dare you ask me to do that!’ I’m just like: ‘Hmm, headache. Little headache, got a bit of a headache – maybe not tonight’.”

In another podcast episode aired back in November, Allen also revealed that during disagreements with Harbour, she resorted to using an AI chatbot to craft her responses. Recounting how she used the AI tool, Allen said: “If me and David have had an argument and I need to articulate it, I’ll be like, ‘Write me a long text message about an argument that started with the dishwasher and ended in an argument about our finances’.”

After receiving a response from ChatGPT, she provided feedback with personal prompts to obtain a more accurate representation of her feelings. Describing how she interacts with ChatGPT, she said: “‘That’s great but can you add in a bit about how I think this is all actually to do with his mum?’ You just copy and paste every single one until you’ve got enough.”

The couple’s journey began when they connected on Raya, with Allen initially mistaking Harbour for a reality TV star due to his profile picture. “It was the first time I’d been on this dating app. I was scrolling through and landed on David’s profile and pressed accept,” Lily confessed on The Jonathan Ross Show. She added, “I didn’t know who he was. I thought he was just like a sexy policeman from a reality TV show.”

Lily explained how David was wearing a policeman’s uniform in his profile picture, which turned out to be a still from Stranger Things. The Hard Out There hitmaker admitted to never having seen the hit Netflix show. She continued: “I don’t even know what I was looking for. It was just something to do on holiday, swiping, it’s a bit of fun.”

The singer then added, “When I met him I didn’t think it was going to go anywhere. He was here filming Black Widow. He was only going to be here for a couple of months. And then it did…”

Lily and David swiftly entered into a relationship, leading to both deactivating their Raya profiles. However, things seem to have fallen apart as insiders claimed David secretly reactivated his account. Sources suggest Lily found evidence he’d been using the dating app to meet other women. One source alleged Lily had doubts about David’s online activity, prompting her to use Raya to investigate, targeting women to see if he was active on the app.

“Lily was looking for women that were on Raya and cross-referencing them with women David follows on Instagram to try to figure out who he was seeing,” they claimed. The source added to The Mail on Sunday, “Lily only rejoined Raya to try to figure out whether he was seeing someone.”

Drag queen and TV host RuPaul has faced criticism from some fans after sharing a post on social media following a tribute to Drag Race star The Vivienne after their death aged 32

RuPaul’s Drag Race fans have called out show creator and host RuPaul following a post after The Vivienne ‘s tragic death.

The Vivienne, whose real name was James Lee Williams, was confirmed to have died aged 32 at the weekend. Tributes have poured in for the drag star, including from RuPaul, who said: “With a broken heart, I join the entire Drag Race universe in mourning the loss of the Vivienne – an incredibly talented queen and a lovely human being.”

Just a few hours after the tribute, RuPaul shared another post on Instagram wearing a red wig and mimicking a voiceover. The audio said: “[Name] claims you actually tried to run her over in her car. Is that true?” A woman replies: “Yeah,” as the initial person said: “You did?”

RuPaul didn’t add any comment to the post, yet some fans branded it insensitive following the news of The Vivienne’s death. One fan commented: “mama read the room.” Another added: “ONLY 1 DAY WAS GIVEN TO THE VIVIENNE?!!!” Someone else commented: “I thought the same… LOVE Ru but I thought this….”

A fourth shared: “thank u I thought the same..this isn’t the time for this Ru.” Another quipped: “You don’t seem too upset about The Vivienne?? What a let down, I’m disappointed!!,” as a fan said: “Why are we getting this mess and not a proper heart felt statement about the Vivienne.”

However, others came to RuPaul’s defence as one said: “Scheduled content just posts, and she posted about the vivienne so calm t f down.” Another shared: “What else was supposed to be done? Why do yall expect people to go on a whole week long post a thon? Stop projecting your expectations on others.”

The Vivienne’s death was confirmed on Sunday and shared by publicist and pal Simon Jones. The statement read: “It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved James Lee Williams – The Vivienne, has passed this weekend. James was an incredibly loved, warm- hearted and amazing person. Their family are heartbroken at the loss of their son, brother and uncle.

“They are so proud of the wonderful things James achieved in their life and career. We will not be releasing any further details. We please ask that James’s family are given the time and privacy they now need to process and grieve.” Since The Vivienne’s death, RuPaul’s Drag Race star Tyra Sanchez has been slammed over their disgusting posts.

Amid the outpouring of love, Tyra took to social media within hours to share a string of vile tweets written in response to a 2020 post by The Vivienne. Almost five years ago, The Vivienne had written: “Bet Tyra was fuming when she Realised Netflix Spoiled the win Too. Sorry gal. You Tried though.” Adding a new response, Tyra penned: “Yet it doesn’t compare to the fumes of the crematorium.”

Tyra carried on amid the backlash yesterday, posting a photo of a crematorium with the words ‘songs I would play if I owned a crematorium’ while Alicia Keys’ Girl on Fire played in the background. RuPaul stars have called out the posts and disgusted former friend Kandy Muse fumed: “I’ve defended you for years but now you can absolutely go f**k yourself and if our path were to ever cross it’s absolutely on sight b**ch, it’s not a threat it’s a promise. You disgusting person.”

Meghan Markle sparked a frenzy after the trailer for her new Netflix show With Love, Meghan dropped ahead of its premiere later this month – and it has seemingly left some viewers and experts alike confused

Meghan Markle’s trailer for her new Netflix show has been branded ‘laughable’ – with viewers also left perplexed by it.

After dramatically returning to Instagram on New Year’s Day, Meghan dropped another bombshell a day later with a teaser promo for her new show called With Love, Meghan. The eight-part series, which launches on January 15, will see Meghan inviting friends and famous guests to a California estate, where she shares cooking, gardening and hosting tips.

In the trailer, she can be seen preparing dishes with pals including actresses Mindy Kaling and Suits star Abigail Spencer, arranging flowers and even beekeeping – known to be a favourite hobby of her estranged sister-in-law the Princess of Wales.

But royal historian and expert Dr Tessa Dunlop has warned that the trailer’s picture-perfect image could pose real problems for Meghan. Speaking to the Mirror, she explained: “It is all too easy to mock Meghan and the perfect world she presents in her new Netflix trailer: shiny (slightly) famous friends, effortfully fresh food, Insta-ready images.

“But worry not, apparently this is just what the Duchess does: in her words ‘I have always loved taking something pretty ordinary and elevating it.’ And no, she is not talking about Prince Harry, who this time is lucky enough to make an appearance alongside his influencer wife and her millennial chums. According to chef Roy Choi, ‘they are family now’, which doesn’t bode well given the Sussexes’ track record with their nearest and dearest.

“See, I told you it was easy to mock. I mean, come on, a reality series in which one of the richest women in the world is pretending she can teach us ‘little tips and tricks’. Demonstrating how ‘we can incorporate these practises’ into our domestic lives, as she meanders through her sun-dappled kitchen garden, retro basket in hand, before attending those designer bee hives, dripping with honey. It’s so out-of-reach for the vast majority, it is laughable.”

Meanwhile, viewers watching the trailer have also been left confused by it, especially as the promo fails to address one of Meghan’s much-hyped lifestyle brands, American Riviera Orchard. Last March, a new website and Instagram page for the brand were unveiled to much fanfare, with a trademark application showing she intended to sell jams, spreads and other homeware goods. But despite the initial announcement, her wares have been shared only with celebrity friends, who showcased her jam on social media in April.

So far, products have not been available yet to buy on the site and in recent months she has faced difficulty in acquiring a trademark. And with the Instagram account yet to share any update and Meghan now starting to post on another account, many have taken to social media to voice their confusion and ask if American Riviera Orchard is still coming.

One enquired on X: “Didn’t she start an IG account under American Riviera Orchard? Or does that not count?” While another pondered: “Why no mention of American Riviera Orchard?” And another asked: “Wasn’t that what her American Riviera Orchard IG account was supposed to be about?”

But despite the potential confusion and the so-called ‘perfect’ aesthetic portrayed in the trailer, Tessa also believes it is precisely why the show could actually be a success – but not in the UK. She explained: “Across the Atlantic, they have a very different relationship with perfection. From old-school Dynasty and Dallas flaunting mega-wealth and mega-shoulder pads to the Good Wife and Friends, American on-screen escapism invariably has a successful sheen.

“Meanwhile in Britain, our preference is for soap operas that focus on working folk, from Eastenders ‘ Old Vic to Coronation Street’s northern reality. We are instinctively suspicious of anything too perfect, not so Americans who like their super-stars to have square jaws, perfect smiles and big bucks.

“Meghan fits perfectly into that world with her pastel palette and carefully curated cast. There is Abigail Spencer, a co-star from Suits, Mindy Kaling a comedian already in receipt of American Riveria Orchard Jam, and Polo WAG, Delfina Blaquier, to provide a dash of old-school elegance. Apparently these friends ‘are not in the pursuit of perfection’, (they are already perfect), rather Meghan’s crew ‘are in the pursuit of joy’.

“Meanwhile, beyond Trump-mania and gruesome terror attacks, aspirational Americans are invited to watch on and dream, alongside the Duchess’s very own misfit, poor old Harry. How long the unavoidably British prince will stay in front of the camera remains to be seen.”

Prince Harry makes a fleeting appearance in the trailer

Harry himself also makes a cameo appearance in the trailer and is seen embracing his wife. The Sussexes have rarely been seen together in recent months as they have been concentrating on their separate careers. Sources say Meghan is focusing on her business ventures while Harry concentrates on his charitable work.

However, it hasn’t stopped tongues from wagging, especially as Meghan memorably described her and Harry just two years ago as “salt and pepper” as they always “move together”. And according to body language expert Judi James, this gesture speaks volumes about how Harry views Meghan’s latest project.

She told the Mirror: “Where most influencers talk straight to camera, making the audience their friends, Meghan is friend-flaunting here, inviting us to watch her Montecito ‘family’ and there is a glimpse of Harry hugging her with a facial expression of beaming pride and emotional reward for what she is achieving and who she is.” She continued: “Meghan has swapped fierce feminism for friends, florals and fruit here in this mini-explosion of her personal depiction of love.

“Beneath all the food-worrying this popularity-promo video and possibly the series shows strong hints of messaging how much Meghan loves and is loved. ‘Love’ is the word repeated most in the title and the soundtrack, followed up by ‘friends’ as well as ‘family’ and ‘joy’. She dances, skips and giggles as she is surrounded by loving, admiring faces, including a happily snoring dog.

“‘Gravitating’ towards flowers or showing off how much honey her bees have made might not create an accessible lifestyle reveal and her kitchen image is clearly as far away as possible from the Gordon Ramsay school of shouting and slamming stuff about, but as a PR exercise for Meghan herself it looks like a powerful attempt at a ‘sweet-treat’ re-branding.”

In her latest Instagram post, Meghan Markle reveals the death of her beloved pet dog Guy in an emotional video montage, featuring snaps and the voices of her children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – and one expert believes this could be a poignant message

Meghan Markle’s emotional video announcing the death of her beloved companion offers a rare glimpse at her children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.

The Duchess took to her newly launched Instagram page to announce that her beloved pet dog Guy had sadly died in a heartbreaking post. Paying tribute to the family member, who Meghan had rescued from a kill shelter 10 years ago, she posted an emotional video made up of multiple never-before-seen pictures and videos of Guy with her, Prince Harry and their kids.

In one tender moment, Archie, now five, can be seen holding the dog’s lead as he walks alongside dad Harry, while in another he is heard saying: “He’s going to fall” while he sits in the car with his mum and dog before Meghan reassures him that the pup was safe.

Prince Harry with Prince Archie and their beloved pet Guy
Another poignant moment shows Lilibet playing with Guy on a picnic blanket, while the heartwrenching montage ends with the two children singing a sweet song about their dog.

Harry and Meghan have previously been extremely protective of their children’s privacy and opted to closely guard them from the limelight. In addition, the children have had little contact with either Meghan’s father Thomas, who is estranged from his daughter or Harry’s dad King Charles, who reportedly is not speaking to his son.

And body language expert Judi James says the montage’s most poignant moment features the children. She told the Mirror: “Anyone who has lost a pet will understand the kind of grief Meghan is suffering right now and she is coping in her new signature manner by creating this video of the dog that looked set to be a star of her new Netflix show.

“Like the ‘reality’ fan she has now become, she has included some very intimate moments and glimpses of her life here, suggesting an equal easing off the privacy pedal when her new show finally drops.

Meghan and Princess Lililibet play with their beloved pet
“If the reveal of her love of Guy and of his life with the Sussex’s weren’t enough there’s added poignancy in the glimpses here of Archie and Lilibet, which will presumably be devoured by both grandads as well as the fans.

“The children are still shown in back view only and in idyllic settings that include dogs and donkeys. But there is one clip that is a ‘shared experience’, a three-dimensional glimpse rather than a distanced shot from afar, as we are shown the angle Meghan sees as they sit in the back of the car while Harry is driving.

“We don’t see the children but we do hear voices and see one small hand. This is possibly the most poignant moment for anyone craving the family vibe as it involves the kind of proximity and the view any relative might enjoy if they were part of the family group.”

Last year, sources said the King had committed himself to building a relationship with Prince Harry’s children and to be present in their lives. A source revealed at the time: “The King is absolutely committed to being present in all of his grandchildren’s lives. He values family above everything and whatever the course of his ­relationship with his son he would never be content with just seeing his grandchildren on the odd video call.”

He remembers his own somewhat fragmented childhood as his parents were always busy doing their duty. It is a great sadness to him he doesn’t see more of Archie and Lilibet.

“That is why he will never break ties with Harry. He does not want a FaceTime relationship with his son’s children. He wants to know them and be involved with their lives while they are still young enough to be able to learn from his wisdom. His cancer has made it all the more poignant to him as he knows that he won’t be around forever.”

Meanwhile, Judi added that the video also has many other intimate moments, and their love shines through. She added: “Thanks to this tribute we also see the couple’s bed, complete with a crumpled duvet and a very understated, modest-looking, budget hotel-style headboard.

“We’re shown both Harry and Meghan (separately) lying in bed with Guy and in the shot of them sitting on the floor, poring over Guy like proud and delighted parents, we’re also shown the love between Harry and Meghan themselves as they lean their heads in together in an intensely affectionate ritual as Meghan cradles the dog.

“Fans had already fallen for Guy, who was featured snoring in Meghan’s show trailer. Now he has his own tribute video and presumably a sadly posthumous starring role in Meghan’s new series.”

Coleen Rooney has revealed her husband Wayne Rooney was getting ‘chants’ about her at football matches while she was on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The WAG, 38, took part on last year’s series of the ITV show where she finished as runner up to McFlyn’s Danny Jones.

Wayne, 39, was serving as manager of Plymouth Argyle while she was in the jungle although he has since been sacked.

Coleen reflected on life with Wayne in the public eye, saying she reckons he has had  a tougher time of it than her.

Speaking on the Stick To Football podcast, she said: ‘He’s probably struggled more than me. People have hated on him and it’s tough because he’s out there every week.

‘He told me while I was in the jungle he was getting chants about me all the time.’

Coleen reflected on life with Wayne in the public eye, saying she reckons he has had a tougher time of it than her

Coleen admitted she was shocked by the reaction from viewers to her stint on the show which draws millions of viewers each night.

She said: ‘The impact from I’m A Celebrity has been massive. I knew it was a big show but I didn’t think people would take that much interest in me.

‘I’ve done stuff in the past but the amount of people who have not got me and my personality… they’ve just taken bits and bobs and not seen me as a person. Being in the public eye, people forget we are just normal people.’

The star admitted she was worried she came across as ‘boring’ in the jungle and asked her mother how she’d come across when she flew to Australia to meet her on the bridge.

Coleen added she has kept in touch with her I’m A Celebrity campmates and their group chat is ‘going off all the time’.

Coleen and Wayne have been together since they were 16 and are parents to sons Kai, 15, Klay, 11, Kit, eight, and Cass, six.

Coleen said: ‘I’ve always been a tough person. I’m not a princess. I’ve always tackled things and got on with it. We [Wayne and I] have helped each other. We’ve gone through everything together.’

The mother-of-four also spoke about her Wagatha Christie court case with Rebekah Vardy who sued Coleen after she accused Rebekah of selling stories on her to the press.

Coleen said: ‘It was the lowest I’ve ever been. I had no control over it and that was hard’ (Rebekah Vardy pictured at the Royal Courts of Justice)

Coleen said: ‘It was the lowest I’ve ever been. I had no control over it and that was hard. I knew what I was saying was right but the fact that someone else took me to court and I had to prove it and say what it was, was tough.

‘It was a long period of time and I couldn’t get away from it. Everyday I’d wake up and think, “Coleen, just get on with your day,” but it kept creeping back.

‘I felt like I wasn’t myself. I was snappy and every Friday the lawyers rang me –  the other team try to ruin your weekend by calling at the last point on Friday.

‘They’d tell me what’s going on and then try and have a nice weekend. I’d go away and start overthinking things and start looking for things he’s asking for.

‘It got to 2am, Wayne would be waiting on the couch to watch something and eventually say, “I’m going to bed.” It put a strain on family life, friends. I wasn’t sociable and it stripped me.’

Lorraine Kelly did not hold back as she called out the “toxic” TV industry, namechecking Gregg Wallace’s “appalling behaviour”.

In a new interview, the Scottish TV presenter discussed an “abuse of power” that “should never happen”.

Speaking to The Mirror, the 65-year-old said: “There are toxic people in telly. We’re going through that at the moment.

“The behaviour of Gregg Wallace and other people that we’ve seen, should it come about as all true, is appalling.”

Her comments echo that of chef Tom Kerridge who recently stated that the allegations against Wallace are “horrific if true”.

In November, Wallace, 60 stepped back from his role co-presenting Masterchef after nearly 20 years, as various allegations surfaced claiming that he had made sexual comments to staff and guests. Wallace has vehemently denied all accusations.

Kelly continued: “There’s an imbalance of power there, and it’s abused. They’re just not right, and it should never happen.

“But how dare the people around them allow and enable them to behave like that?” the TV host questioned. “It’s horrible and it’s toxic and nasty. I’ve got no time for people who abuse their power.”

The Independent has contacted a representative of Wallace for comment.

When the allegations first emerged against Wallace, he responded with a claim that the accusations against him came from “a handful of middle-class women of a certain age”.

His comments sparked a furious backlash, provoking criticism from Prime Minister Keir Starmer among others, and he left the BBC in turmoil. Wallace later apologised for any “offence that I caused”.

At the time, Kelly spoke out against Wallace’s remarks, stating that she was “astounded” by his response and that the Masterchef star needs to “shut up”.

Wallace faces a string of allegations, including from one woman who claimed that he had touched her bottom after an event. Another has claimed that he pressed his crotch against her during the filming of one of his shows.

He also stands accused of making “inappropriate sexual jokes”, asking for the phone numbers of female members of production staff, and undressing in front of women working on his shows. Read more about the accusations here.

MasterChef’s production company, Banijay UK, has enlisted a “rigorous” law firm to conduct an external review into Wallace’s alleged misconduct.

There have been calls for the BBC to conduct its own investigation, after it emerged that complaints about Wallace’s behaviour were brought to the corporation’s attention as far back as 2017.

Lily Allen and David Harbour’s relationship has been rocked by claims of infidelity, leading to their separation before Christmas amid allegations of Harbour using the Raya app

Lily Allen and David Harbour, who married in 2020 after meeting on the dating app Raya, separated shortly before Christmas.

Reports suggest that Allen discovered Harbour’s active profile on the exclusive dating app Raya, where they initially met in 2019. This revelation has raised concerns about potential infidelity. In a candid discussion on her podcast, Miss Me?, Allen shared that she never shamed her former husband if he was feeling explorative.

Allen said:”I wonder if I kink-shame my husband. Because he quite often asks for things, and I’m like: ‘No, babe, it’s not happening.’ I’m not like: ‘You piece of s***, how dare you ask me to do that!’ I’m just like: ‘Hmm, headache. Little headache, got a bit of a headache – maybe not tonight’.”

In another podcast episode aired back in November, Allen also revealed that during disagreements with Harbour, she resorted to using an AI chatbot to craft her responses. Recounting how she used the AI tool, Allen said: “If me and David have had an argument and I need to articulate it, I’ll be like, ‘Write me a long text message about an argument that started with the dishwasher and ended in an argument about our finances’.”

After receiving a response from ChatGPT, she provided feedback with personal prompts to obtain a more accurate representation of her feelings. Describing how she interacts with ChatGPT, she said: “‘That’s great but can you add in a bit about how I think this is all actually to do with his mum?’ You just copy and paste every single one until you’ve got enough.”

The couple’s journey began when they connected on Raya, with Allen initially mistaking Harbour for a reality TV star due to his profile picture. “It was the first time I’d been on this dating app. I was scrolling through and landed on David’s profile and pressed accept,” Lily confessed on The Jonathan Ross Show. She added, “I didn’t know who he was. I thought he was just like a sexy policeman from a reality TV show.”

Lily explained how David was wearing a policeman’s uniform in his profile picture, which turned out to be a still from Stranger Things. The Hard Out There hitmaker admitted to never having seen the hit Netflix show. She continued: “I don’t even know what I was looking for. It was just something to do on holiday, swiping, it’s a bit of fun.”

The singer then added, “When I met him I didn’t think it was going to go anywhere. He was here filming Black Widow. He was only going to be here for a couple of months. And then it did…”

Lily and David swiftly entered into a relationship, leading to both deactivating their Raya profiles. However, things seem to have fallen apart as insiders claimed David secretly reactivated his account. Sources suggest Lily found evidence he’d been using the dating app to meet other women. One source alleged Lily had doubts about David’s online activity, prompting her to use Raya to investigate, targeting women to see if he was active on the app.

“Lily was looking for women that were on Raya and cross-referencing them with women David follows on Instagram to try to figure out who he was seeing,” they claimed. The source added to The Mail on Sunday, “Lily only rejoined Raya to try to figure out whether he was seeing someone.”
