London, UK – In an astonishing turn of events that has left royal watchers aghast, Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, is reportedly “euphoric” after her infamous “twerking” video was allegedly recreated at none other than Buckingham Palace itself! This audacious stunt, performed by reality TV star Jamie Lang and his pregnant wife Sophie, has sent shockwaves through royal circles, with many branding it a “huge faux pas” and a “stain” on the British monarchy.

The controversial incident has thrust Meghan back into the spotlight, not for her humanitarian work or royal duties, but for a bizarre dance move that, just four years ago, many predicted she would “never ever going to recover from.” Yet, if sources close to the Duchess are to be believed, this latest spectacle is precisely what Meghan desired, cementing her brand’s “power” and its ability to “infiltrate” even the most sacred of royal spaces.

The ‘Tordy’ Dance: Meghan’s ‘Moment of Joy’

 

The saga began with Meghan Markle’s original “twerking” video – often referred to as the “baby mama dance” – which surfaced roughly four years ago. Allegedly filmed in a hospital room after she consumed spicy food, the video depicted Meghan performing a controversial dance move. At the time, critics widely condemned it as “very tordy” and predicted it would haunt her career.

However, Meghan, ever defiant of public opinion, reportedly viewed the backlash as a triumph. “Meghan is euphoric,” a source close to the Duchess revealed, “she’s delighted. The response has been everything she could have possibly have hoped for.” Rather than shame, Meghan allegedly felt it was “a moment of joy,” an authentic, real display that showed “a happy life going on behind all the white noise.” She believed people “understood exactly that she was authentic [and] real.” This unflinching embrace of controversy, rather than a shred of embarrassment, sets the stage for the latest astonishing development.

 

Palace Party Shock: ‘Baby Mama Dance’ on Royal Hallowed Ground

 

The setting for this latest royal embarrassment was a party at Buckingham Palace, hosted to celebrate King Charles’s foundation and honour its associated ambassadors and celebrities. Among the attendees was Jamie Lang, a reality TV star from “Made in Chelsea” who now works as a BBC Radio One DJ. Lang, who reportedly almost auditioned for “Made in Chelsea” himself long before Meghan married into the monarchy, arrived with his pregnant wife, Sophie.

And then, the unthinkable happened.

“They decided to allegedly recreate the baby mama dance of Megan and Harry on the main staircase at Buckingham Palace,” a source divulged. This act, caught on video, directly flouted the Palace’s notoriously strict rules. “You’re not allowed to film in Buckingham Palace,” the commentator stressed, explaining that the rules are “literally reiterated at every level.” Even veteran broadcasters, permitted to film on special occasions, must adhere to pre-agreed terms, with strict prohibitions on where one can even stand.

The video’s emergence has “exploded” into public consciousness, but many argue “for all the wrong reasons.” The main concern? It has “thrust [Meghan Markle] back into the limelight,” overshadowing an event that “should have been just about the focus of His Majesty the King.” This incident, commentators warn, will be a “problem going to be for William and of course Prince George moving forward. They’re never going to escape this.”

Buckingham Palace’s ‘Huge Faux Pas’ and Meghan’s Delight

 

The recreation of Meghan’s controversial dance within the hallowed walls of Buckingham Palace has been slammed as a monumental misstep by the royal institution. “Buckingham Palace have made a huge faux pas on this level,” the commentator lamented, “simply because it just looks tacky and trit and more importantly on such an occasion it’s not the right thing to do whichever way you look at it.” The incident, many believe, reflects poorly on the Palace’s judgment and its ability to control its own narrative and image.

Conversely, Meghan Markle’s reaction to the Palace incident is one of unbridled triumph. “Meghan was delighted by this,” the insider revealed. So much so that “her team and indeed Meghan… have reached out to the palace to thank them for the support after they put out this tweet, ‘we see you’ and some emojis.”

This alleged act of gratitude, conveyed from Montecito, California, to London, seemingly validates Meghan’s long-held belief in the potency of her brand. According to sources, it “backs up the theory that how powerful Megan Markle and her brand are. They’ve infiltrated yet again another event at Buckingham Palace.” The world is now “talking about it,” and Meghan is reportedly telling her team, “We need to do more of this, this is exactly what the public want to see from me.” Jamie Lang and his wife have, so far, remained silent on the matter, with some suggesting it is “way too late” for them to remove the video.

The Ultimate PR Play: Rosé, Recognition, and a Royal Stain

 

The brazenness of Meghan’s alleged strategy doesn’t end there. In a move that observers believe underscores her unyielding focus on marketing and self-promotion, the Duchess is reportedly planning to send more than just verbal thanks.

According to the source, “flowers alongside never want to miss a marketing opportunity a bottle of the forthcoming rosé wine from Meghan Markle will be sent both to the palace communications team and Jamie Lang and his wife.” The calculated intent behind this gesture is clear: Meghan is “really looking for them now to post the wine and the flowers and thank Megan and this will verify it even further.” It’s a cunning play, designed to leverage the Palace’s inadvertent promotion of her controversial past and use it as a springboard for her future commercial ventures.

The ramifications for the monarchy are severe. This entire episode has been described as “a stain once again on the British monarchy brought by two people that really many people suggest should simply now have their titles resigned.” The ongoing saga surrounding the Duke and Duchess of Sussex continues to raise uncomfortable questions about their conduct and its impact on the very institution they once served.

The bizarre recreation of a “tordy” dance in the heart of royal power, allegedly to Meghan Markle’s delight, represents a new low in the tumultuous relationship between the Sussexes and the Palace. The ultimate cost, it seems, is borne by the image and dignity of the British Crown.

London, UK – Just when you thought the alleged bitter rivalry between the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle, and the Princess of Wales, Catherine, might have cooled, bombshell reports suggest Meghan’s obsession with her sister-in-law has reached startling new heights. Whispers from a “very well-placed source” indicate that the Duchess is embarking on a bizarre new venture – directly copying Catherine’s renowned talent for family photography, with the added twist of potentially charging for her artistic endeavours.

This latest development paints a disturbing picture of Meghan’s seemingly unyielding fixation on the Princess of Wales, an obsession that insiders say has become increasingly “strange” and undeniable.

The Unending Echo: Meghan’s Copycat Path

 

For years, observers have noted Meghan Markle’s uncanny habit of emulating aspects of Catherine’s life, style, and even charitable ventures. From a fleeting interest in beekeeping – a pursuit long associated with the future Queen Consort – to undeniable similarities in styling choices, the Duchess of Sussex has often appeared to mirror Catherine’s every move. Some speculate it’s a lack of original ideas, while others suggest a deeper, more competitive undercurrent.

“You might think that Meghan Markle’s obsession with Catherine, the Princess of Wales, might have sort of weaned off a little bit,” a royal commentator noted, highlighting the widely acknowledged tension between the two women. “It was very, very obvious and clear from those two visits to Wimbledon that the two ladies really didn’t see eye to eye.”

Catherine, renowned for her easygoing nature and aversion to confrontation, is celebrated for her ability to get along with most people. This contrasts sharply with Meghan, who, according to sources, “really is only interested in people that… are useful and are interested and perhaps could lead somewhere.” This fundamental difference in personality seems to fuel Meghan’s alleged drive to constantly position herself in opposition, or in direct imitation, of Catherine.

The pattern of imitation has been clear: “Megan has gone down this route of absolutely copying every single thing that Catherine has done,” the commentator added. Whether it’s a lack of fresh inspiration, having perhaps exhausted Princess Diana’s archives for style cues, or a more calculated strategic play, Meghan’s copycat behaviour has become a recurring theme in royal watchers’ discussions.

The ‘Duchess of Quitting’ Takes on a New ‘Artistry’

 

Meghan Markle, often sarcastically dubbed the “Duchess of Quitting” or the “Duchess of Moving On” due to a string of projects ending abruptly or entering “hiatus,” now appears to be embarking on what she perceives as a blossoming new talent: photography. This surprising shift, according to the well-placed source, stems directly from the perceived success of her recent Instagram and social media activity.

“Megan… has decided all thanks to the success of her Instagram social media activity… that now in fact she could take on, yes, guess who? Catherine, the Princess of Wales, in yet another new light,” revealed the insider.

The Duchess is reportedly “very keen to develop her photography skills,” spurred on by positive feedback on her “artistry” – the pictures she posts, the way she films things. This newfound confidence is said to be bolstered by her “close friend” Josh Rosenberg, who has reportedly gushed that “you can’t take a bad picture of her” and that their collaborations “look well and they work well together.” While a brief dalliance with photographer Misan Harriman appears to have faded, Meghan allegedly “picked up enough tips and camera names to be able to push forward.”

The Royal Photo Wars: Charging for Snaps?

 

The target of Meghan’s latest venture is none other than Catherine’s widely praised talent as a royal photographer. The Princess of Wales is famously known for taking most of the official portraits of her family, including her children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis. These heartfelt, personal images are then released to the media, providing a unique glimpse into royal life and proving invaluable to news outlets, as they “cost them nothing and they get all the exposure that they need.”

Meghan, it seems, has spotted an “opportunity” in this arrangement. But her approach, according to the source, diverges significantly from Catherine’s generous practice. While Catherine provides her stunning family portraits free of charge as a gesture of goodwill and transparency, Meghan is allegedly considering a different path.

“Not only… will there be one main picture but there’ll be various options too,” the source revealed, adding the jaw-dropping detail: “possibly there may be a charge for them.” This unconfirmed but potentially explosive detail, if true, would mark a stark departure from royal tradition and further underscore Meghan’s commercial ambitions. It would also likely be perceived as a direct challenge to Catherine’s established and appreciated practice.

 

A Desperate Bid for Relevancy or Calculated Undermining?

 

The latest revelation raises crucial questions about Meghan Markle’s motivations. Is this a genuine pursuit of a new passion, or another calculated attempt to ride on Catherine’s coattails and monetise aspects of royal life that the Princess of Wales offers freely? Critics have long questioned the Duchess’s “talent,” often describing her as someone who struggles to maintain long-term projects. As one commentator put it, her talent seems to be “the duchess of quitting, the duchess of moving on… every time she has a crack at something it suddenly becomes a hiatus.”

This alleged foray into professional photography, particularly with the suggestion of charging for images, could be seen as a desperate bid for relevancy in a landscape where traditional celebrity structures have been “dissected differently.” In an era where “everybody’s everywhere and you’re not quite sure who they are,” Meghan may be attempting to carve out a new niche for herself, leveraging her royal connections while simultaneously mirroring a beloved royal figure.

However, the timing and nature of this alleged venture hint at a deeper, more competitive undercurrent. If true, Meghan Markle’s reported plan to monetise her family photos in direct contrast to Catherine’s established benevolent approach could be viewed as a provocative move designed to undermine the Princess of Wales and further fuel the simmering tensions within the Royal Family. As this “developing story” unfolds, the world waits to see whether this is a genuine artistic pursuit or simply another chapter in Meghan Markle’s unrelenting “obsession” with the Princess of Wales.

London, UK – In a car crash television moment that has rocked the nation, firebrand commentator Narinda Nanda Kerr was left squirming on live air, exposed for what her critics are calling “flat out lies” about the supposed blandness and lack of ethnic diversity in Italian cuisine. The excruciating confrontation on Channel 5’s Jeremy Vine Show saw Judge Rob Reinda deliver a devastating statistical smackdown, dismantling Kerr’s claims piece by piece and sparking a furious debate about her motives.

The extraordinary humiliation comes after Kerr unleashed a series of controversial posts on X (formerly Twitter) during her recent holiday to Sicily, Italy. Her culinary complaints quickly went viral, igniting a firestorm of criticism and disbelief.

 

The X-Rated Food Tirade: Sicily Slammed as ‘Boring’ and ‘Bland’

 

Narinda Kerr’s holiday posts began innocently enough, praising Sicily as “beautiful” with “extremely stylish” people. However, her tone swiftly shifted to culinary contempt. “Food is boring,” she declared, lamenting that despite venturing beyond “tired tourist traps,” it was “all so boring.” Her body, she claimed, was “desperate for Indian food or just something with taste.”

The complaints escalated. “Day seven in Sicily,” she wrote, “i’ve eaten 19 types of pasta the same pizza over and over and would now kill for a curry or samosa. Why is international cuisine so scarce here?” She doubled down, even after experiencing “posh posh restaurant[s] above our budget,” still finding the food “bland.” Kerr controversially invoked reality TV star Molly Mae Hague, stating, “I think Molly May was right after all,” seemingly validating Molly Mae’s much-maligned comments about Italian food. Preemptively, Kerr also defensively claimed that India, contrary to popular belief, offers “all kinds of international cuisine.”

Her posts were widely condemned as insulting to Italian culture and dismissed as attention-seeking. But it was her live television appearance that truly sealed her fate.

Judge Rob’s Hammer Blow: The Truth Unveiled

 

The moment of reckoning arrived on the Jeremy Vine Show when Judge Rob Reinda, armed with irrefutable data, confronted Kerr. After patiently listening to her reiterations about the alleged scarcity of diverse food, Reinda pulled out his “receipts.”

“You were there for about a week, right?” Reinda probed. “Now you could have gone to presumably… other cuisines, I mean why no, there was actually… Italy it was like where is the…”

Then, the mic-drop moment. Reinda displayed statistics for the audience, exposing the factual inaccuracies of Kerr’s narrative. “These are the different restaurants,” he stated, pointing to figures revealing:

2,453 restaurants in Sicily.
17 Indian restaurants across Sicily.
21 Mexican restaurants across Sicily.
102 Japanese restaurants across Sicily.

He then zoomed in on “Tamina” (likely Taormina, the popular Sicilian resort town where Kerr was staying), where Kerr had defiantly claimed there was “100% not” any diverse cuisine. Reinda delivered the fatal blow: “In Tamina… you could have chosen between… three Indian restaurants. There wasn’t seven, hang on a second, oh they haven’t made it…” (referring to a previous incorrect number). The image on screen clearly showed three Indian eateries in the specific location.

Kerr’s attempts to deflect, stating she was “not blind” and preferring authentic local cuisine (contradicting her earlier pleas for curry), crumbled under the weight of the undeniable facts. Her face, a picture of discomfort, spoke volumes.

 

Confrontation and Accusations of ‘Clickbait’

 

The humiliation continued with a heated clash involving fellow panelist Carol Malone, who accused Kerr of blatant “troll farming.” Malone didn’t hold back: “You’ve insulted a country’s cuisine on the strength of that as if you don’t tweet to get clicks. I think a lot of her tweets, a lot of the look at this food doesn’t, a lot of her pictures were put out with nice pictures with her swimwear whatever you were doing it to get clicks Narinda.”

Malone explicitly referenced Kerr’s “bikini” photos, suggesting they were part of a calculated strategy to draw attention. Kerr, defensively, retorted with accusations of “jealousy,” claiming she wore a bikini because “I felt cute and I’ve lost weight and I was proud of my body.” But the damage was done. The factual inconsistencies, coupled with the perceived self-promotion, painted a damning picture.

 

The ‘Professional Agitator’ Exposed: A ‘Racist’ and ‘Bigoted’ Agenda?

 

The aftermath saw Nick Cody, leader of UKIP, launch a blistering attack, painting Narinda Kerr as far more than just a misguided tourist. “Narinda is a bigot, she’s a racist, um she’s an ethno-nationalist as well,” Cody declared, unleashing a torrent of accusations.

He claimed Kerr represents the “epitome of what Britain has been so hospitable, Britain has been so tolerant and so kind,” yet she constantly portrays herself and the “Brown community” as “downtrodden” and “victims.” Cody described Kerr as a “professional agitator, she is trained, she knows exactly what she’s doing.”

According to Cody, Kerr deliberately “causes outrage” to secure attention and operate as a “narcissistic virtue signaling nobody” who has “jumped on the left wing bandwagon.” He argued that her behaviour is part of a broader “psychological

 

Hollywood, California – A bombshell new investigation has exposed the shocking reality behind Meghan Markle’s carefully curated public image, with explosive allegations of her ‘abysmal’ treatment of airline staff and a chilling ‘zero connection’ with her own son, Archie, on a flight. These revelations come amidst claims of a calculated PR stunt orchestrated by the Duchess to mask her true “diva-like” and “cold” behaviour.

The astonishing details were brought to light by a senior British Airways staff member, who approached a prominent royal commentator six months ago, determined to expose the truth about Meghan Markle. This staff member, whose identity is protected for obvious reasons, recounted an utterly horrifying experience on a flight to South Africa when Archie was a young child.

The South Africa Flight Horror: ‘Zero Connection’ With Archie

 

On that fateful flight, the British Airways staff member was left “utterly horrified” by Meghan’s conduct. “On that flight, Meghan refused to touch or look after Archie even once,” the staff member insisted. “She didn’t look at him. She had zero interest when he was upset and she expected the staff the entire time to take care of that baby.”

The observer was adamant: “It was very obvious to her that there was zero connection between mother and child.” A team of staff, including at least one nanny, was reportedly seen feeding Archie bottles, highlighting Meghan’s alleged detachment.

Adding another layer to the disturbing account, the staff member noted a stark behavioural shift in the Duchess. Meghan was “only polite” to the staff when Prince Harry was “in direct earshot or in the vicinity.” When Harry was absent, “she was like a different person,” a detail that “does suggest that there is some manipulation of Prince Harry that goes on.” This could explain why Harry is reportedly “very shocked” by reports of Meghan’s bullying, as she appears to transform when he’s around.

 

A Pattern of Abysmal Treatment: Pre-Royal Diva Behaviour

 

The shocking truth, according to multiple airline insiders, is that this atrocious conduct is not new for Meghan Markle. She allegedly had a “reputation with airline staff for many years before she even entered the royal family.” Even during her Suits days, when she would “crisscross from across the Atlantic” for Soho House events and filmings, her behaviour was reportedly infuriating.

Sources reveal that Meghan “always used to insist that she be upgraded on flights even though she would not purchase the higher ticket class herself.” This was particularly galling for crew members because “she was just so consistently rude to them when she was on board.”

American Airlines staff, whom Meghan now reportedly prefers for commercial flights, were equally scathing. They were “absolutely insistent that Meghan Markle was the worst celebrity they had ever had to serve,” describing her in no uncertain terms as “diva-like, rude, cold and demanding.”

Further investigation into her pre-royal acting career painted an even darker picture. A very senior staff member on a “low-budget B movie” Meghan shot between Suits seasons described her as “the worst actor they have ever had to deal with.” Her demands, particularly regarding transportation, were “absolutely off the scale,” including insisting on first-class flights that didn’t exist for short European hops, and at one point, even a private jet for a low-budget film. This “toxic treatment of people,” it is claimed, “is in this woman” and has been present “at least her life once she got the role on Suits.”

 

The Devious PR Counter-Attack: A Calculated Setup

 

The timing of these revelations is crucial. Just as investigations into Meghan’s conduct were underway, a video of an American Airlines flight attendant praising Meghan as the “nicest person” went viral on TikTok and was immediately picked up by outlets like People magazine, known for its pro-Sussex coverage.

However, sources are “absolutely insistent” that this was an “arranged PR stunt” and a “setup.” Airline staff are under strict contractual rules forbidding them from posting publicly about passengers, let alone sharing handwritten notes from celebrities. Such actions typically lead to “disciplinary action” and cross “every ethical line.”

The consensus among American Airlines staff is that Meghan was “trying to get ahead of the story.” She “wanted to use this flight attendant to try and make the point that actually she is very nice to staff on board when actually that is not the reality.” Meghan is reportedly “protected by the anonymity of these airline staff members” who cannot speak out publicly due to fear of being sued or breaching their contracts.

Meghan’s True Nature Unmasked: ‘A Nasty Piece of Work’

 

Royal commentator Peedina condemned the alleged PR stunt as “disgusting,” stating that Meghan “is so desperate to be liked but doesn’t want to change anything about who she is in terms of just being authentic.” She argues that these “little stunts” are necessary because “otherwise people don’t like her.”

Peedina labelled Meghan “the worst of them all,” a “nasty piece of work” and a “bully,” who is “not even a good mother,” viewing her children as “props” in her “PR game.” She accused Meghan of “perpetrating this fraud of trying to be this goodwill ambassador” and being a “very sinister, devious, not good person.”

The public’s perception, according to Peedina, is validated by these insider accounts: “Her true self comes out in these intimate moments,” when she knows cameras aren’t rolling. Even Harry, she suggests, might be “in a conundrum with this woman” and “doesn’t want to wake up to his reality that his wife is nothing like the late Princess Diana.”

The escalating “entitlement complex” and “sick ego” are spiraling out of control, impacting not only Harry but also her children and the wider Royal Family’s reputation. The surprising revelation that even Doria Ragland, Meghan’s own mother, recently went to a Beyoncé concert “without even telling her,” suggests that “even Doria has had enough.”

The desperate call for an intervention for Harry and the children echoes through the commentary. Meghan’s destructive behaviour, which existed long before her royal marriage, now threatens to engulf her immediate family. As one observer starkly put it, “She is going to drown in the truth coming out against her.” The world watches to see if this barrage of damning insider accounts will finally force the mask off the Duchess of Sussex, once and for all.

‘It still brings me to tears’

Carol Vorderman has issued a heartfelt tribute to her late “TV husband” Richard Whiteley on the 20th anniversary of his death.

Countdown legend Richard died in June 2005 at the age of 61. Carol appeared on the long-running Channel 4 show alongside Richard from 1982 until his death. Richard was the host and Carol the resident mathematician.

And this week, Carol paid tribute to Richard as she looked back on their two-decade friendship.

Carol Vorderman on ‘wonderful’ Richard Whiteley

On Thursday (June 26), Carol took to her Instagram and paid tribute to her late pal Richard Whiteley.

The I’m A Celeb star uploaded several photos of the pair over the years, and in the caption, she described the photo.

“RICHARD WHITELEY DIED 20 YEARS AGO TODAY,” Carol began her lengthy post. She added: “The funny, wonderful, party animal, loving, nonsensical “TV husband” of mine for 23 years.

“I thought it would be nice to see some hairstyles and jokes, but they are a tiny part of the job all of us Countdowners (including everyone who watched) shared over the many years.”

Carol Vorderman issues heartbreaking tribute

Describing each photo, Carol Vorderman said: “1. Hairstyles!! 2. FIRST Countdown – the first show ever on Channel 4. Millions tuned in for the start of this new channel (a huge event in 1982). We made TV history. Then the next day we made history for a second time as we had the highest % ever who switched us off! We laughed about it for years.

“3. Richard with me (just numbers back then) and Kathy Hytner (who did the letters) back in the early 1980s. Countdown became Channel 4’s biggest show across all of the network for years. We recorded it at Yorkshire TV in Leeds (I lived in Leeds) so it had that Northern mischief. We loved everyone who came to be in audience.

Carol continued: “4. Lovely. 5. Richard, me 8 months pregnant (1990s), with Terry Wogan and Ken Bruce. 6. Cover of SAGA magazine – cuddling away as ever. 7. Dick’s favourite joke. 8. Part two of THAT joke. 9. Christmas show where he wore a tie with the word COUNTDOWN painted down it… nobody noticed in recording BUT the day after it went out he was front page of the newspapers. Richard sat behind the desk and the DOWN bit of the tie disappeared. He’d covered the letter O in COUNT with his microphone. Leaving [explicit] visible for the whole happy Christmas show. OMG.”

‘It still brings me to tears’

Carol also shared snaps of Richard’s later years.

She wrote: “10. Our last time together at the British Book Awards just 2 months before he died. If only we’d known. 11. Richard’s last 60 seconds on Countdown before he suddenly fell ill.

“Richard’s memorial filled York Minster, with thousands watching outside too. People had travelled from all over the UK to pay their respects – he was so well loved.”

Finishing off the emotional post, Carol said: “I grieved heavily for him. It still brings me to tears and laughter whenever I think of him. I changed my life after that, not caring so much for telly as nothing would ever feel that good.

“Through marriages, divorces, pregnancies, laughter and tears… and I would not change any moment of our time together for all the world. Thanks Whiters, I still love you xx.”

Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon teases what’s to come for Maria and Gary

Speaking about what’s to come as Maria finds out that Gary’s been attacked, Coronation Street star Samia Longchambon teased: “Maria and Gary are going through a bit of a rough patch at the minute and initially she’s upset that he’s left but doesn’t think too much into it. As soon as Gary misses Liam’s birthday, she has a gut feeling that something isn’t right and fears something awful might have happened to him.

“Maria’s mind is spiralling, but she doesn’t stop for a second to think who actually attacked Gary, she’s aware he has a lot of enemies from over the years who could have potentially wanted to take revenge on him.”

But, who attacked Gary? And, what was the reason behind it?

The pair have been together for years

Rochelle and Marvin Humes are one of the UK’s beloved showbiz couples – but their love story hasn’t always been a walk in the park.

The iconic TV couple – who host The Hit List together – first got together back in 2010 and tied the knot in 2012.  Since then the JLS singer and Saturdays star have welcomed three beautiful children together – Alaia-Mai, Valentina and Blake.

But when did they first split up? And what exactly happened when Rochelle suffered a ‘sex mishap’? Keep reading to find out…

Marvin and Rochelle Humes’ shock split

Marvin – on ITV’s DNA Journey tonight (June 26) – and Rochelle first struck up a romance in 2010.  However, a year into dating and Marvin called it quits with Ninja Warrior host Rochelle.

Speaking to Tolly T on Bumble’s podcast My Love Is…, Marvin revealed he originally ended things after he got cold feet.

He confessed: “We had a little split about a year in. It was my doing. You know what the weirdest thing is I got cold feet for some reason and just panicked.

“I called it off with Roch and when I did that, I knew that second it was the biggest mistake I’ve made,” he added.

When asked why, he said: “I was in a relationship previously, but what I learned in that relationship was it went on too long and I didn’t have the balls to call it off and I was quite young.”

Marvin noted how this had the “reverse effect” when it came to Rochelle. He explained: “When I was with Roch, I just panicked and was like, I wanna call it off. When I did it I knew I was making a mistake. Broke Rochelle’s heart.”

Rochelle Humes admits ‘lack of intimacy’

In 2013, Rochelle and Marvin welcomed their first daughter, Alaia-Mai. However, it wasn’t all easy as Rochelle previously confessed it played havoc with her emotions and sex life too.

She told Cosmopolitan in 2014: “I’m not too proud to admit that having a child affects the intimacy in a relationship at first.

“I hate it when you hear people say they were at it again days later. I don’t believe it!” Rochelle continued: “For the first few months, you’re so tired you just want to go to bed, I was so emotional.

“One day, Marvin asked me what I wanted for breakfast and even that set me off. I just wailed ‘cereal’ across the house. We still joke about it now!”

Truth about Marvin and Rochelle’s sex mishap

Back in 2013, Rochelle got plenty of people talking when she admitted that she was forced to dash to A&E after sustaining an eye injury during ‘cuddles’ with Marv.

The singer let the revelation slip during a game of Never Have I Ever on Capital’s breakfast show a few years back, appearing with her The Saturday’s bandmates.

When the presenters of the time raised the topic “Never have I ever sustained an injury during special cuddles”, Rochelle replied: “I have!” While the blushing singer didn’t elaborate any further on the story, her bandmates were fast to fill in a few gaps.

“Rochelle went to A&E over this,” Una Healy piped up.

“I remember her calling me about this and I was like: ‘How do I know what to do?’” Mollie King added.

However, when the presenters at the time, Dave Berry and Lisa Snowdon, tried to get Rochelle to spill the tea, the singer went very quiet. Keen to know more, Dave tried to put words into Rochelle’s mouth.

“You’re telling me our friend, DJ Marvin Humes, has injured my second favourite member of the Saturdays? Was it a household object?” he asked.

A little rattled, Rochelle replied: “Certainly not.” But that stern reply didn’t put the nosy presenters off trying to dig deeper. “Was it something you bought in an adult shop?” Lisa Snowdon probed. “Did you pull a muscle or is it much worse?”

Eventually, Rochelle finally revealed that she had injured her eye during her romantic tussle.

Marv sets record straight

However, it wasn’t just Rochelle who was left blushing. So too was Marv – who seemed rather taken aback about the revelation.

In an interview that followed, he played down the whole affair, admitting the ‘sex’ mishap was not true… “It’s 150% not true.”

Speaking at the time, he said: “It just came out of nowhere. It was all a bit of friendly banter between the girls. They made something up and then it all just escalated and got out of hand. As I said, it’s not true at all.”

He added that he had been left cringing by the exchange on the breakfast show and laughed it off, admitting: “It’s just one of those things. But you have to be careful what you say because people will believe everything.”

Rochelle’s strict rule

Talking to Closer in October, Rochelle opened up about how she and Marvin try to maintain a healthy work/life balance. “We try to set boundaries, and we make sure that we don’t talk shop at home once we’re all done for the day,” Rochelle said.

She went on: “We’ll let that roll into tomorrow. I think it’s important to protect it. If it all rolls into one, then we’ll be up working on something all the time. At least by five o’clock, by the time kids are having dinner, we’ll make sure that work questions are done.”

There’s been a further tribute to Nicola Peltz from her husband Brooklyn Beckham following a special occasion earlier this week. It comes amid the couple attracting much attention over the rumoured rift in the Beckham family.

Brooklyn, 26, and Nicola, 30, have made headlines in recent weeks over speculation of a ‘feud’ with his family, including his parents David Beckham, 50, and Victoria Beckham, 51. The couple, who have now been married for three years, have continued to publicly support each other throughout.

Earlier today, Brooklyn shared a photo of himself and wife Nicola with his followers on Instagram. The photo showed actor Nicola leaning against her husband, who appeared to pay tribute to his wife in the accompanying caption.

Expressing his love for Nicola, whom he tagged, Brooklyn teased in the caption that she’s his world. He wrote “my” alongside an emoji depicting the globe. Beside a heart emoji, he also commented over the photo: “My absolute angel.”

Just hours later, Brooklyn shared a message for David’s mother Sandra Beckham. He marked his grandmother’s birthday with a post that included a photo of him beside her. Brooklyn wrote: “Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much.”

It’s said to have marked him reaching out for the first time to his family on social media. It was reported earlier that it’s thought to be the first time he’s publicly acknowledged his family amid the speculation of tension among them.

Despite the attention on them, it’s been reported that Brooklyn and Nicola are “solid” in their marriage. The couple have paid tribute to each other on social media in recent months, having most recently done so just days ago.

Brooklyn celebrated the anniversary of his proposal to Nicola in a post on Instagram earlier this week. They got engaged in 2020 and later tied the knot two years later in a star-studded wedding ceremony that was held in the US.

Alongside a selfie of them, he wrote to his wife: “It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me.” He continued in the post: “Best decision ever.” Brooklyn concluded by writing to Nicola: “I love you so much.”

Nicola also marked the occasion on her page. She wrote in a message for her husband: “5 years ago we got engaged. I love living life with you baby.” She concluded by writing in her post just a few days ago: “I loveee you so muchhh.”

Although met with support, the couple also received negative responses at the time. A source however suggested to the Mirror that Brooklyn and Nicola are stronger than ever, adding that they are “enjoying their lives together”.

The source told us earlier this week: “For every unkind comment, there are just as many full of love, but people so often choose to dwell on the negative. Brooklyn and Nicola are solid, and the idea that a heartfelt anniversary post warrants this level of scrutiny is frankly a bit ridiculous.”

They added: “It’s disheartening to see so much energy spent trying to tear down a young couple simply enjoying their lives together. They want no part in the public’s narrative.”

The former That’s Life host Esther Rantzen is battling lung cancer and now has to put up with fake photos online as well, as her daughter has blasted the cruel trolling

The daughter of Dame Esther Rantzen has blasted “appalling” online trolls as after they used AI to post fake photos online claiming to show the TV host in a hospital bed looking close to death.

Becca Wilcox appeared on BBC One’s Morning Live show to insist her mum was doing as well as she could be dealing with lung cancer at home, and did not look anything like the fake photos. She said: “I was just appalled by them. And I just want to say, first off, obviously these are not real pictures, they are fake pictures of what mum supposedly looks like.

“There is one I really hate because I think she is supposed to be dead or in a coma. It is an extraordinary thing to do I mean, a weird and horrible thing. She doesn’t look like that.

“She’s been very private about her battle with cancer. She knows that this is something that people are probably interested in, and she tries to do as much audio as possible. But for her, this journey is one that she wants to take with the privacy of her family, like lots of her friends haven’t seen her for months and months, so that’s the first thing they’re seeing.

“I’ve had to warn my brother to tell his kids that these pictures are out there, that they’re not they’re not real. That’s not what she looks like.” Giving an update on Esther’s health, Becca added they had a birthday celebration for her last weekend and showed new unseen photos of her mother alone and alongside her.

Becca added: “She looks great. You know, she has terminal cancer. She looks different to how she didn’t fall but she looks incredible.

“What I’m really grateful is to show you these pictures, which is how she really looks. This is her Sunday (showing photos on screen). It was her birthday party. We had a huge half pavlova cake. And you know, this is, this is her walking around her garden, completely different. Yes, some people are in hospital beds, some people are unwell, but that was a fake picture. This is what she looks like. This is literally last Sunday. I wanted you to see Mum looking well.

“I just want to put the record straight that she if she’s not on a hospital bed, she’s not dead. They’re not real, they’re not real pictures.”

In May 2023, Esther Rantzen has revealed her lung cancer, which she was diagnosed with in January, was in stage four. In as about her health, Dame Esther told the Mirror: “I’m on one of the new medications, and nobody knows if it’s working or not. But I will have a scan fairly soon which will reveal one way or another.”

At the time she explained she had gone public with her lung cancer diagnosis “because I find it difficult to skulk around various hospitals wearing an unconvincing disguise”.

Since then she has been a prominent supporter of the bill giving terminally ill adults in England and Wales the right to an assisted death. Stage four is the most advanced stage of lung cancer, and means the cancer has spread beyond the lungs or from one lung to the other. Dame Esther, who turned 85 on Sunday, enjoyed a successful TV presenting career which included hosting BBC consumer show That’s Life! for 21 years.

In the segment on Morning Live, presenters pointed out that fake photos are becoming more of a problem online.

Cruz Beckham has publicly shown support for his mother, Victoria Beckham, amid ongoing rumours of a rift between the Beckham family and his older brother, Brooklyn, and sister-in-law, Nicola Peltz

Cruz Beckham is standing firmly by his mother, Victoria Beckham, amid renewed whispers of family tension – specifically surrounding his older brother, Brooklyn Beckham.

Victoria, 51, recently hosted an exclusive launch event in London for Isabel Rutman’s new jewellery line. Joining her were Cruz, 20, and his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel.

Victoria looked effortlessly chic in a black lace skirt, coordinating top, and a sharp oversized blazer. Jackie, 29, opted for a laid-back double-denim outfit, while Cruz showed off a relaxed style in loose jeans paired with a Dior button-down shirt.

The event – and Cruz’s presence – has drawn fresh attention due to swirling rumours of ongoing strain between the Beckhams and Brooklyn, the eldest son, as well as his wife, Nicola Peltz. While tensions reportedly began during the couple’s wedding preparations, and appeared to settle for a time, signs of distance have re-emerged in recent months.

Brooklyn and Nicola have been consistently absent from several key family gatherings. Notably, they skipped Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show, a major moment in her fashion career.

They were also missing from both David and Victoria’s birthday celebrations. Adding further fuel to the fire, Brooklyn failed to publicly acknowledge his father on Father’s Day and stayed silent when David received his knighthood – two occasions where the rest of the family showed their support.

The situation has only been heightened by cryptic activity online. One notable moment occurred on TikTok, where Cruz fired back at a commenter who seemed to question his career path.

“Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?” the user asked.

But Cruz didn’t hold back, responding: “Wrong brother mate,” a pointed jab at Brooklyn’s famously shifting career pursuits, which have ranged from photography to cooking to aspiring to be a footballer.

While family dynamics appear increasingly strained, Brooklyn and Nicola continue to project an image of unity and luxury.

The pair are often seen travelling, attending high-end events, and posting affectionate photos on social media.

Most recently, Brooklyn marked a milestone in their relationship by sharing a sweet message on Instagram for the anniversary of his proposal.

“It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me,” he captioned a photo of Nicola kissing him on the cheek. “Best decision ever x I love you so much.”
