  • ITV Loose Women’s Charlene White issues stern warning to Janet Street-Porter over ‘inappropriate’ comment

    ITV Loose Women’s Charlene White issues stern warning to Janet Street-Porter over ‘inappropriate’ comment

    Loose Women host Charlene White was left stunned by her co-star Janet Street Porter’s ‘inappropriate’ comment as she was forced to issue a stern warning live on-air

    The atmosphere on Loose Women’s Wednesday (16th April) episode took a sharp turn from jovial banter to a moment of tension as host Charlene White had to issue a firm warning following an inappropriate remark.

    Charlene White was at the helm with Denise Welch, Janet Street Porter, and Mariella Frostrup by her side, as they dabbled in artificial intelligence to conjure up a human version of what a dog might look like.

    Things got personal when producers chose to use Janet’s own furry friend, Badger, for the experiment to envision his human male counterpart.

    The situation escalated into hilarity just before Badger’s big reveal, with Janet having mimicked her cherished canine live, which sent the audience and her fellow panellists into fits of laughter.

    Amidst the chuckles, Charlene quipped: “Shall we see whether you were embarrassing yourself on National Television,” cueing the AI image’s debut while Denise excitedly exclaimed: “We love it”, reports Devon Live.

    Janet Street Porter
    Janet said that the AI image “looked like a bin man”

    “Will you please welcome Badger,” announced Charlene, as Denise reacted with: “Ohhh Janet, so attractive.”

    The screen split to show Janet’s terrier transformed into a rugged, long-haired, bearded man, eliciting gasps from everyone at the strikingly handsome AI creation.

    Janet, however, was far from pleased, protesting with a loud “No, no, no,” and voicing her discontent with the result.

    Janet declared emphatically: “My Badger, well he’s my partner’s Badger and he’s going to get the hump after this. He bought Badger and we share him. That person, that dog person looks like a bin man.”

    In disbelief, Charlene interjected: “Janet!” Unperturbed, the star continued: “My Badger is gorgeous. My Badger’s got love eyes, he’s got eyebrows.”

    Stunned by Janet’s remark, Denise turned to the host, querying: “I think he looks nice, do you?” Charlene, however, was more taken aback by Janet’s offensive quip than the AI-generated image.

    The presenter intervened with a serious caution directed at Janet: “Also, we don’t talk about our bin men like that Janet.”

    Charlene reinforced firmly: “We definitely don’t do that.”

    Acknowledging her faux pas, Janet concurred: “Oh alright, I’ll take that back and I’ll apologise to all refuse collectors everywhere, I am very very sorry, I am truly sorry.”

    While Janet was speaking, Charlene forcefully interjected: “I tell you what I am going to do, move on from Badger,” briskly concluding the awkward exchange.

    Loose Women presenter forced to apologise as she interrupts guest mid-interview

    Loose Women host Kaye Adams was forced to cut off Trisha Goddard mid-interview as the show was running out of time

    Due to the show’s tight schedule, Kaye Adams had to issue an apology on Loose Women after she interrupted a guest mid-sentence.

    On Thursday (17 April), Kaye resumed her role as host of the popular daytime talk show, alongside panellists Denise Welch, Brenda Edwards, and Nadia Sawalha.

    After chatting with Paul Sinha from The Chase, the Loose Women welcomed Celebrity Big Brother alum Trisha Goddard, who was set to divulge details about her stint in the famous house.

    While discussing her cancer treatment and the support she has received from various organisations, Kaye had to step in and halt Trisha’s story.

    The panel interviewed Trisha Goddard

    Trisha was explaining: “Palliative care has moved on. It’s now about controlling the pain you might get and the side effects. There’s a minority of people who will do that. So, you are living with the things that pain you, that mean you can’t work,” when Kaye interjected.

    “I am so sorry to interrupt, but I am so glad you got that out,” Kaye quickly said, before wrapping up the programme.

    She then signed off, telling viewers to look forward to Brian Conley’s appearance on the show the following day, Friday (18 April).

    During her time on Loose Women, Trisha opened up about her experiences inside the Celebrity Big Brother house and her journey through cancer treatment, reports Belfast Live.

    Trisha became the second celeb to wave goodbye to the Celebrity Big Brother house this year, hot on the heels of ex-MP Michael Fabricant’s departure. Hollywood’s own Mickey Rourke was another person who exited the famous house due to inappropriate behaviour.

    During her time on the show, the iconic chat show queen Trisha shared that she believed JoJo Siwa, the US Dance Moms sensation, clearly enjoyed a newfound “freedom” in the CBB residence after years under the public eye since childhood.

    Intrigue has swirled around JoJo’s growing bond with Chris Hughes, Love Island’s heartthrob, stirring gossip inside and outside CBB circles.

    Trisha let slip that the dynamics between Chris and JoJo were nothing short of “intense”, before mentioning that Chris initially hit it off with TOWIE favourite Ella Rae Wise before his rapport took off with JoJo.

    Coleen Nolan’s daughter Ciara Fensome has announced she’s expecting her first child with her fiancé Maxx Innes in an adorable Instagram post over the weekend

    Coleen Nolan’s daughter, Ciara Fensome, is expecting her first child. The first time mum-to-be took to Instagram on Saturday (June 21) to share a stunning photo of herself cradling her growing bump.

    She also posted a picture of herself and fiancé Maxx Innes proudly displaying their baby scan in a photo booth. Ciara, 24, captioned her post: “One of me is cute but two tho? Baby Innes pending..”

    Coleen Nolan’s Loose Women co-star Ruth Langsford was quick to leave a congratulatory message, writing: “WONDERFUL! Congratulations!” Former panelist Saira Khan chimed in with: “Wow! ! Congratulations” alongside a red heart emoji.

    Another comment read: “Omg massive congrats to you both! ! You two are gonna be the best parents, while another well-wisher added: “OMG, massive congratulations to you both! !”.

    Later, Ciara updated her Instagram Story to tell her 17,300 followers that she can “finally” start posting her holiday photos following her announcement.

    She’s currently on holiday in Faliraki with her mum, who has been sharing updates from their trip on social media.

    This joyous news comes just over a year after Ciara got engaged to Maxx.

    In April 2025, a thrilled Coleen shared a photo of Ciara and her fiancé in a romantic pose, confirming her daughter was officially off the market.

    “Well, what can I say….I’m so so delighted that @maxxinnes has asked my beautiful daughter @ciarafensome to marry him,” Coleen wrote at the time.

    “I love them both soooo much. Miss them even more! Can’t wait to see them. Off to buy a hat x,” she wrote, ending her post with a crying laughing emoji.

    Coleen’s post was met with a flurry of congratulations from her celebrity friends. “Congratulations @ciarafensome,” Loose Women co-star Denise Welch penned. Charlene White quickly chimed in with “congrats! ! !” and Kelle Bryan added, “Such lovely news.”

    Despite divorcing Ciara’s father Ray in 2018, Coleen, who also shares two sons with ex Shane Richie, has maintained a close friendship with him.

    The ITV star, who has yet to comment on the baby news, is already a grandmother to two children. In 2016, her eldest son Shane Jr welcomed a daughter named Amelia. Then, in November 2024, her son Jake became a father to a little boy.

  • ROYAL BOMBSHELL: Harry’s ‘Vacant’ Collapse Sparks Fears of Dark Return to Drugs As King Faces ‘Embarrassing’ Truth! Meanwhile, Meghan’s £1.5M ‘Hobby’ Brand CRUMBLES – Mocked as a ‘FAILURE’ by America’s Jam Queen in Epic Relaunch Debacle & Eugenie Branded A ‘SPY’ For The Sussexes!

    ROYAL BOMBSHELL: Harry’s ‘Vacant’ Collapse Sparks Fears of Dark Return to Drugs As King Faces ‘Embarrassing’ Truth! Meanwhile, Meghan’s £1.5M ‘Hobby’ Brand CRUMBLES – Mocked as a ‘FAILURE’ by America’s Jam Queen in Epic Relaunch Debacle & Eugenie Branded A ‘SPY’ For The Sussexes!

    A chill wind blows through the hallowed corridors of power, whispering secrets that could plunge the monarchy into unprecedented depths of embarrassment. What the public rarely understands is that within the tight-knit, rarefied circles of the elite, whispers of scandal and concern are exchanged in hushed tones, away from the prying eyes of the common folk. Now, those whispers are growing louder, painting a grim picture of two prominent royals in freefall.

    First, the astonishing meltdown of Meghan Markle’s much-hyped “relaunch” of her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard. What was promised as a triumphant return to the spotlight has, in a breathtaking display of ineptitude, become a catastrophic, eye-watering disaster, branded a “total joke” by insiders and “cringe” by even her most charitable observers. But the true bombshells lie within the escalating fears surrounding Prince Harry’s increasingly “vacant” public persona, sparking terrifying speculation of a return to darker habits that could leave King Charles reeling in personal agony and public shame. And in a new twist, whispers are now circulating that Princess Eugenie could be acting as a ‘spy’ for the estranged Sussexes within the heart of the Royal Family itself!

    "Tears on camera and drug claims" Meghan Markle & Prince Harry breaking point after week from hell


    Meghan’s Million-Pound Meltdown: The ‘Scarcity’ Sham Exposed!

    The world watched, some with anticipation, others with thinly veiled amusement, as Meghan Markle attempted to resurrect her commercial empire. Yet, the American Riviera Orchard relaunch was, in the stark assessment of commentator Nancy Sidley, “a bigger disaster than anyone could have envisioned.” Sidley brutally declared Meghan “looks extremely nervous today,” adding it was “hard for even her to get the lies out of her mouth. She’s imploding.”

    The “lies” in question? The scandalous “scarcity concept” that underpinned the brand’s launch. Royal Daily Tea laid bare the farce: “I was there a few minutes early for Meghan Markle’s launch. Her store went live 3 minutes later… her new honey was never available to buy, it says sold out literally as her store went live!” The Raspberry spread, too, was mysteriously “sold out” upon launch. How can a new product be sold out the moment it hits the virtual shelves? The glaring, uncomfortable truth, say critics, is that it’s a transparent, desperate ploy to create artificial demand, a strategy that has spectacularly backfired the second time around.

    Even sympathetic journalists found it hard to stomach. Chris Ship, of “Woke ITV” and a known “propagandist for the Sussexes,” posted a puff piece about Meghan becoming a “wine merchant,” prompting former colleague Piers Morgan – who famously lost his job for questioning Meghan’s veracity – to scoff: “How can you post this without laughing?”

    The Duchess herself, in a video meant to inspire confidence, betrayed profound discomfort. “It is so obvious she knows her strategy has failed,” notes one observer. “She knows Harry is falling apart. She knows this has all gone so badly wrong.” Britney from the Royal News Network, a keen tracker of the Sussex saga, confirms the feeling: “She knows, doesn’t she? I mean, it’s like all of the facade has gone, the veneer has gone, this is a joke now, it’s a total joke. She knows she’s been rumbled. 100%.”

    Britney points to critical details: Meghan’s video was recorded just 42 minutes after the launch, when the initial “sell-out” allegedly occurred. Yet, other products like “Flower Sprinkles,” which Meghan claimed were “nearly sold out” despite being “overstocked,” didn’t actually sell out for several more hours. This, says Britney, clearly demonstrates “the cope there happening and the freak out.” The visual cues – Meghan avoiding direct eye contact, cutting off her head in the frame – are tell-tale signs of panic.

    “The scarcity tactic will work all the time and it just simply doesn’t,” laments Britney. The first time, one can claim unforeseen demand. But the second time around, claiming “we tried so hard but we didn’t get it again” makes a business look “incompetent or just frankly kind of stupid.” Competent business people stock their brands correctly. Meghan, it seems, relies solely on her royal title: “Her sole marketing drive is, ‘I’m a duchess so you should buy my stuff and make me more money.’ That is the sole reason As Ever exists.” There’s no hard work, no genuine engagement, no “holding an apricot” to promote her own produce, unlike successful entrepreneurs like Gwyneth Paltrow. It’s an “epic, epic disaster” and “frankly, it’s embarrassing. She should be wholly embarrassed. Everything about her is cringe.”

    America’s Jam Queen Savages Meghan’s ‘Spread’ – A Royal Culinary Catastrophe!

    But the humiliation doesn’t end there. In a truly delicious twist, America’s Queen of Jams herself, Donna Collins, a true champion jam maker, has publicly savaged Meghan’s products. Collins declared, “It’s a real disappointment that Megan is selling a fruit spread, which is what you make when your jam fails.” Ouch!

    “In the jam industry, a spread is what we call something that didn’t work,” Collins revealed. “It can have the best ingredients, but if I had a jam that was too runny, I’d slap a label on it and call it a spread. There’s no excuse for this, it should be perfect.”

    Collins further questioned Meghan’s use of “conventionally grown apricots” (implying pesticides) and pectin as a “gelling agent,” unless it was “because her spread was too runny.” Meghan, it seems, can’t even accept the truth about her own product, consistently calling it “jam” in interviews despite it being, by industry standards, a “spread.” This, for critics, just further proves Meghan’s disconnect from her brand and her lack of genuine care for it. “It’s unfathomable to me that she keeps making spread and yet calls it jam,” says Britney. It’s not a proper business; it’s a “hobby,” a “little add-on Netflix business,” lacking the 100% dedication needed for success.

    Prince Harry’s Terrifying Downward Spiral: ‘Lost the Will to Live’?

    While Meghan’s business ventures implode, far graver concerns are mounting over the state of Prince Harry. “The guy is not in a good place,” confirms a close observer. “We’ve known he’s not in a good place for a long time. Britney, he looks like he’s lost the will to live. He looks totally vacant when he’s given public speeches, as if he’s giving up.”

    The infamous “doorbell picture,” showing Harry in central London looking as if he was “on the hunt for something illicit,” has only fuelled these anxieties. Disturbing whispers are growing louder about a potential return to drug abuse, a shadow that has long loomed over the Prince’s past. While some drugs are legal in California, Harry himself has admitted to illegal drug use in his book Spare, detailing how he “relied on alcohol and drugs to mask how he felt amid panic attacks after his mom’s death.” He explicitly stated he was “willing to drink, he was willing to take drugs, he was willing to try and do things that made him feel like he was actually feeling.”

    P. Dinena, a royal commentator, provides further chilling insights, gleaned from “two separate sources” she deems “real and true.” “There’s a history there, there’s a history of Harry not being able to cope with life in general,” she reveals. His past admissions of using substances to “mask his anxieties and his past grief” are now resurfacing as deeply worrying indicators of his current state.

    Paula Rim, a vocal critic of the “royal rotor” (mainstream royal journalists), has called them out: “Respected royal expert reporters… sold you Prince Harry as a lovable cheeky prince when they knew what a nasty piece of work he was.” She questions why these same journalists “would not cover up Harry’s overdose or drug addiction and only claim he is melting down.” While UK media face strict rules on reporting private health information, the “very obvious” signs that Harry “is not in a good place” are undeniable.

    Britney acknowledges the need for privacy but concedes, “We have seen celebrities who are caught by the paparazzi very much in a state of, you could say, drug use… we have not seen Harry in any of those type of situations, however, what we do know about Harry is yes, he does have some history there with substance issues.” She points to the “emotional turmoil” and “confusion” he’s experiencing, the realization that “at least some of [Meghan’s] BS… is not true,” leaving him “kind of floundering,” without a job, purpose, or close family ties. “Could he lean on some substances to help him? Perhaps.”


    The King’s Agony: A Father’s Limit?

    The question of King Charles’s concern for his youngest son is paramount. “Is Charles concerned about the health of his youngest son? Is he concerned about Harry’s ongoing battles with drugs and ongoing battles with mental health? Yes, yes he is, without any doubt.” However, this “has been a very, very long battle… three decades now of drug abuse.” At some point, even for a deeply caring father, there comes a point of acceptance: “This is in your hands now, son.”

    While there are suspicions Charles might still be secretly funding Harry, possibly from his personal wealth, the consensus is that direct financial support has likely ceased since the Frogmore Cottage renovations were settled. “Charles is so paranoid about having to give Harry money,” and the dynamic of the Crown constantly “cleaning up his messes for decades” has, perhaps, left Harry “rather spoiled.” The harsh truth, say some, is that Harry needs to “clean it up” himself. As any drug addiction recovery expert will attest, the decision to get better must ultimately come from the individual. Harry’s “paranoia, the delusions and all these sorts of things” are clear to see, and while Charles should be concerned, his son is now in his 40s and must take responsibility for his own choices.


    Eugenie: The Royal ‘Spy’ in the Camp?

    Adding yet another layer to the royal drama are fresh accusations against Princess Eugenie. For a long time, it was believed she had distanced herself from Harry and Meghan, especially after a reported fallout over Piers Morgan. However, a recent photo shared by “Royal B” showed Eugenie at Royal Ascot “how cozy” with Misha Nonoo, Meghan Markle’s “bestie.” This immediately sparked furious speculation: “She’s a spy for Harry and Megan, do you think Eugenie can be trusted?”

    Britney, however, offers a more nuanced perspective. While acknowledging the “tricky road” of family dynamics, she questions the constant need for people to “pick sides.” Eugenie was friends with Misha before Meghan even entered the picture. “Why can’t two people be friends… they’re people who have to live their lives and they want to be friends, they can be friends.” It’s likely they “probably don’t even talk about Harry and Megan.”

    While Eugenie undoubtedly “knows where her bread is buttered” – meaning her loyalty ultimately lies with the Crown – and could even serve as a potential “route back” for Harry to mend fences, the idea of her being a clandestine “spy” is deemed “excessive and ridiculous.” Some friendships, especially in aristocratic and celebrity circles, can be “of convenience.” So, while the photo certainly fuels the rumour mill, a deeper, more malicious intent from Princess Eugenie is largely dismissed.

    The grim reality, however, remains: for Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the path ahead is fraught with personal struggle, professional failure, and the ever-present shadow of public scrutiny. The King, meanwhile, watches on, caught between paternal concern and the brutal necessity of allowing his youngest son to face the consequences of his choices. The whispers, for now, continue.

    QUEEN’S FINAL HEARTBREAK: The Jaw-Dropping Moment Her Majesty FEARED Being Alone With Prince Harry – And How His Shocking US TV Confession Shattered a Royal Bond Forever, Forcing the Monarch to Live Her Last Days “On Guard” Against Her Own Grandson!

    The hallowed halls of Windsor Castle, usually a bastion of unwavering stoicism and tradition, once echoed with laughter and affection between a doting monarch and her charismatic grandson. For years, Prince Harry, the playful “Party Prince” and later the compassionate advocate for mental health, was widely believed to share a unique, unbreakable bond with his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II. He himself boasted of a “very special relationship,” a claim many believed to be 100% true. Indeed, who could forget the viral sensation of the Queen teaming up with Harry for a hilarious video alongside Barack and Michelle Obama, a rare and deeply generous gesture that spoke volumes about the high esteem in which she held him?

    Yet, behind the gilded façade of royal life, even the strongest bonds can fray, especially when subjected to the unrelenting glare of public scrutiny and, more tragically, what insiders describe as a series of calculated maneuvers that ultimately led to an irreparable breach of trust. This, we are told, was the precise, devastating moment when our late and brilliant monarch, Queen Elizabeth II, after 70 years on the throne, made a heart-wrenching decision: she would move away from someone she truly admired and held deep affection for, but whom she ultimately came to fear being alone with. Yes, fear.

    The Fateful Turn: A Grandson’s ‘Concern’ Becomes a Monarch’s Betrayal

    The narrative of a special relationship, cultivated over decades, began to unravel with alarming speed following Prince Harry’s relocation to the United States with his wife, Meghan Markle. While the initial departure was met with a mix of sadness and understanding, it was a particular, jaw-dropping incident that sealed the fate of the Queen’s trust.

    Sources close to the Royal Family, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the extreme sensitivity of the matter, paint a grim picture. They allege that the Queen, a woman of unparalleled shrewdness and intuition, had very early on decided never to be alone with the former cable TV actress, Meghan Markle. Why? Because, as one insider put it bluntly, “Meghan’s a maneuverer.” The Queen, ever the savvy observer, quickly spotted a pattern: a desire to “push her way around,” to befriend William and Catherine – a perception that instilled a cautious distance in Her Majesty.

    Despite these alleged early misgivings about Meghan, the Queen, ever the optimist, maintained an open mind and a reservoir of affection for Harry. That is, until a pivotal, utterly damning moment.


    The NBC Confession: A Public Humiliation

    Do you remember that fleeting, highly publicized “pop-in” visit Prince Harry made to Windsor in April 2022, just before the Invictus Games? It was a quick, whirlwind stop that many hoped signaled a mending of fences. However, the subsequent interview Harry gave to NBC, broadcast just days later, proved to be the ultimate nail in the coffin of his relationship with his grandmother.

    Sitting there, thousands of miles away, Harry casually informed the world that he had popped in to “make sure that the right people were around her.” The Queen, he declared, was “fine.” What sounded to the casual observer like a grandson’s loving concern was, to royal insiders and, crucially, to the Queen herself, a profound act of public humiliation and an unforgivable breach of privacy.

    “This was a turning point, literally within royal circles,” revealed a high-level source. “You have to remember, we’d gone through the COVID stuff, things were just moving out into a better place, and suddenly there is the Queen being told that actually Harry, thousands of miles away, is so concerned he has to check up to make sure she had Catherine, the Princess of Wales, she had Carole Middleton, the Duchess of Edinburgh, Sophie… so many people were there to support her during this very dark period!”

    The implications were devastating. Harry’s public assertion painted a picture of a vulnerable, perhaps isolated monarch, reliant on her distant grandson to ensure her well-being. This, despite being surrounded by a devoted and capable circle of family members and trusted staff. It undermined the immense support network she had, subtly suggesting that those closest to her were somehow inadequate or untrustworthy.

    COURT DRAMA - PRINCE HARRY DAY 2 LATEST #meghan #princeharrry #royal


    The Silent Sentence: No More Confidence

    According to our sources, this televised statement was the moment the Queen fully grasped the new, painful reality of her relationship with Prince Harry. She realized, with a heavy heart, that she could no longer say what she wanted to say, or indeed, be in confidence with Harry. Why? “Because quite frankly, he’d gone to the media and blown it.”

    This wasn’t just about a public airing of laundry; it was about the fundamental erosion of trust. A monarch, whose role demands an unparalleled level of discretion and loyalty from those closest to her, could no longer risk candid conversations with a grandson who, it appeared, was all too willing to broadcast private interactions and perceived concerns on global television.

    The speaker in the original conversation eloquently contrasts Harry’s approach with that of Prince Philip, the Duke of Edinburgh. Prince Philip, the Queen’s “rock” for decades, was her indispensable confidant. “He took the sting out the tail, made everything just easy for her to go through,” we are told, highlighting the quiet, steadfast support that enabled her reign. Philip’s absence, following his death in April 2021, left a profound void, a vulnerability that Harry’s actions, perhaps unwittingly, exploited.

    The Guarded Monarch: A Sad, New Reality

    While Prince Harry has consistently perpetuated a narrative of his “great relationship” with the Queen, and there’s no doubt a deep affection once existed, time, and crucially, actions, change everything. From the moment he famously said “I do” at St. George’s Chapel to Meghan Markle, the Queen was already on guard, not just with his new wife, but increasingly, with Harry himself.

    But it was that fateful NBC interview, where he seemingly positioned himself as her protector, that severed the last threads of unconditional trust. Even the “guard” she had initially put up against Harry began to fade into a deeper, more profound disillusionment. The ability to speak freely, without fear of public disclosure, became a casualty of the Sussexes’ media strategy.

    It’s a truly sad story, isn’t it? The tale of a once-cherished bond, fractured by perceived betrayals and a fundamental clash between royal duty and personal narrative. The Queen, a symbol of unwavering stability and discretion, was forced in her twilight years to navigate a relationship with her own grandson not on affection and trust, but on caution and an ever-present awareness that her private moments could become public fodder. Whatever Harry likes to claim, the quiet, painful truth, according to those who witnessed it, is that the Queen’s final years were shadowed by the knowledge that she could never truly be alone with him again – a heartbreaking end to a once-treasured connection.

    The teen was stabbed to death by his own brothers, but Coronation Street’s writer Joe Parkinson has admitted he initially planned that fate for someone else

    Coronation Street writer Joe Parkinson has revealed that Mason Radcliffe’s tragic death could have played out very differently, as earlier versions of the plot involved a shocking twist that was eventually scrapped.

    Mason was killed off earlier this year in a devastating storyline that tackled the real-world issue of knife crime. After a troubled past that saw him threaten Liam Connor with a knife, Mason had been turning his life around. He served his time in prison and was preparing to leave Weatherfield for a fresh start with a job opportunity in Germany.

    Before his departure, the reformed teen agreed to help DS Swain by providing evidence against his brothers, Matty and Logan, who she believed were responsible for the death of her wife, Becky. But his cooperation proved fatal.

    The show’s writer has revealed his story wasn’t initially going to end that way

    Matty and Logan cornered Mason in a park for a violent revenge attack. Dylan Wilson attempted to intervene, but when his zombie knife was wrestled away, the brothers used it to fatally stab Mason.

    While at the Royal Television Society’s Deep Dive: Writing for Soap event, attended by Reach, Parkinson revealed that this shocking character arc was not the original plan for Mason.

    He said the storyline was originally centred around Liam’s experience with bullying, and got “put off for a long time”. He added: “I pitched it with another writer and it never seemed like the right moment. Originally, it was, I think, Liam stabbing Dylan and we didn’t want to do that with either character at the time.

    “Then it became Mason, so that was another thing that we sort of refined and refined over months with story conference until it became what you saw on screen.”

    In the final version of the story, Dylan was sent to a Secure Training Centre, while Matty and Logan were jailed for Mason’s murder.

    Soap star Luca Toolan, who played Mason, has embraced a new chapter of his life since leaving Coronation Street. The 21-year-old has launched a career in teaching and is now hosting acting classes with Bee Rogue Talent.

    He recently posted on social media, telling fans: “I am keeping myself busy as best as possible and I am running some acting classes. It is going to be great and we are going to do a lot of script analysis, improvisation, character development and learning and teaching the craft of acting.”

    Fans congratulated him after the announcement, with one saying: “Congratulations hunnie you gonna smash this out the park.” During his goodbye speech after leaving Coronation Street, the actor told viewers: “Thank you. What an honour and privilege it’s been to be a part of this show, and to be trusted with this story. Truly.”

    He is now also set to appear in a new comedy pilot titled Grass Roots, which will feature him alongside his father, radio host Mike Toolan, and Loose Women star Sheree Murphy.

    EXCLUSIVE: Dame Deborah James’ husband Sebastian recently went public with his new romance and it’s said that the pair who are head over heels, make one another very happy

    Dame Deborah James’ widower recently went public with his new romance, and it appears there could have been love in the air for a while. Sebastian Bowen had been alongside Dame Deborah throughout her tragic, incurable bowel cancer, and despite the heartache he faced, he was given strict instructions from her.

    Prior to her death, the broadcaster revealed she wanted Sebastian to “move on” and find love again, when he was ready, stating he was a “very eligible bachelor.” Sebastian now appears to be head over heels in love with his new girlfriend, whose identity he has kept under wraps.

    The loved-up couple were seen out and about in Hammersmith, west London, and dined at the River Cafe during their romantic day out. As the nation basked under the scorching weather, the UK enjoyed a heatwave. Sebastian opted for a more casual look, rocking a blue casual shirt, leaving his top buttons undone, with a pair of chinos and trainers.

    His girlfriend exuded glamour in an eye-catching red dress, which cut off above the knee as she lapped up the sun. As they went about their day, the pair looked smitten, with Sebastian and his girlfriend wrapping their arms around one another.

    They walked around holding hands and were all smiles as they soaked up the sun. Now, leading body language expert Judi James has revealed that Sebastian and his new girlfriend may have been friends before things developed romantically.

    “One of the key words that stands out from their body language together is ‘relaxed’,” Judi told the Mirror. She went on to add: They appear lacking in any signs of tension or anxiety, suggesting they make each other happy.

    “There’s no clinging or neediness here: the hand clasp shows the fingers are meshed, but the clasp itself is relaxed and quite loose. Their smiles have an element of coyness, but they are twinned smiles and appear authentic rather than the kind of social, more effortful smiles you often see when people are trying to impress each other on a first date.”

    Judi went on to say: “Their body language looks synchronised too, with lots of mirroring to suggest like-minded thinking. This looks like a very even-handed relationships in terms of emotions, intellect and levels of confidence, suggesting strong friendship that might have been established before anything more romantic.”

    Meanwhile, a source has since spoken about Sebastian’s relationship. “They looked like they were very much in love,” they told the Daily Mail. They went on to add: “It was very sweet. For anyone who was inspired by Dame Deborah’s attitude to life, it was really heartening to see her husband looking happy again.”

    Sebastian has previously enjoyed a string of dates as per his late wife’s wishes, but he had been taking things “very slowly.” Speaking on the BBC Radio 5 Live show, You, Me And The Big C, she described her widower as a “very eligible bachelor” and knew he would have attention from other women following her death.

    “I have given him strict instructions,” Dame Deborah said. She went on to add: “I want him to move on. He’s a handsome man, I’m like, ‘Don’t be taken for a ride, don’t marry a bimbo, find someone else who can make you laugh like we did.” But she also joked that she had a list of people she didn’t want Sebastian to date.

    “I would do my damned hardest to haunt him,” she joked. Sebastian also has the blessing from Deborah’s family to find love again, with her mum saying in 2023: “Deborah will be a hard act to follow but he has our blessing.”

    Peter Andre hits back over ‘drama with exes’ after Katie Price attacks wife

    Peter Andre has hit out at having ‘drama with exes’ and how you should deal with it, days after ex Katie Price made a dig about his wife of ten years, Emily MacDonagh.

    Peter Andre has detailed how to deal with ‘drama with exes’ in his weekly New! Magazine column, just days after his ex Katie Price hit out at his wife Emily MacDonagh.

    While reminiscing about their marriage last week, Katie revealed that her and Peter’s kids – particularly daughter Princess – can’t comprehend that they were once a couple because she and Emily are “just so different”.

    “I said to her, ‘I was with your dad for six years – trust me, we had a laugh, banter together. We did,” Katie told comedian Katherine Ryan on her podcast, adding, “She can’t believe that whenever he went everywhere or me, we were together with the kids – we’d go as a family. She’s like, ‘Emily doesn’t do all that,’ for Pete.”

    While Peter and Emily have remained tight-lipped on the comments made by Katie, he did speak out about Sam Thompson’s run-in with his ex Zara McDermott’s new boyfriend Louis Tomlinson, giving his advice on exes.

    He wrote in his column: “Sam Thompson and Louis Tomlinson were both at Soccer Aid together for an incredible cause. The fact they’ve both been involved with Zara McDermott at some point is secondary for me.

    “I think people will always try to make a fuss about dramas with exes, but we don’t know what happened, and having been part of Soccer Aid in the past, I know people just focus on the game and the cause, everything else is left off the pitch. That’s how it should be.”

    Peter and Katie met in 2004 on I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here!, marrying the following year before splitting in 2009.

    Her remarks about Emily led to a stream of comments on social media, saying that she is envious of Peter’s new life, with one listener noting, “Price is just jealous because Pete and Emily are happy and love their family. She has never let it go and moved on.” Someone else told her to “get a grip and leave them alone”.

    Others were more sympathetic, however, with one commenting, “The one who got away. Quite possibly the love of her life.”

    Amid the backlash, a source told us that Pete isn’t happy about being dragged into what he considers to be “ancient history” and is desperate for it to stop. “Peter moved on a long time ago and is fed up of her talking about him because it was such a long time ago that they split,” said the source.

    “It has a knock-on effect on his family, especially Emily. He knew their marriage was over when they split up 16 years ago and he just wants her to leave it in the past too. He’s very happy with his life.”

    Romeo’s ex Kim Turnbull breaks silence after being blamed for Beckham family rift: ‘I will not continue to receive harassment’

    The Beckham family feud continues, but Kim wants out

    Kim Turnbull has finally addressed the rumours that she dated both Romeo and Brooklyn Beckham – and she has asked that she stops receiving hate from the public.

    For months, it’s been rumoured that the Beckhams have been feuding. And one of the assumed reasons was that Romeo Beckham was dating 24-year-old model Kim Turnbull – who had also been linked to his brother Brooklyn in the past.

    Now, the woman herself has broken her silence on the allegations.

    Kim Turnbull’s relationship with Romeo Beckham

    Earlier this month it was reported that Romeo and Kim had split up after seven months of dating.

    Three weeks after attending David Beckham’s together, it was believed their romance “fizzled out”.

    A source told The MailOnline: “Romeo and Kim are both young and they had a lovely time together. But at that age, things don’t always last forever and they decided to split up.

    “They have been friendly since and have even been at the same venues. It’s a huge shame, particularly as David and Victoria really adored her and thought she made Romeo happy. But it wasn’t meant to be.”

    Their relationship hit hurdles when Kim was alleged to have dated Brooklyn back when they were teenagers. And it was believed her relationship with Romeo caused concern with Brooklyn over her real intentions. And this reportedly played a part in the family rift.

    But Kim is now hitting back at all the claims.

    Kim Turnbull addresses Brooklyn Beckham romance speculation

    Taking to her Instagram stories this afternoon (June 16), Kim revealed she wants to “move on” from the drama.

    She wrote: “I have avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire. However, it has come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on. I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative.”

    Kim went on to clarify that she and Brooklyn had always been only friends. And all other reports were not true.

    “I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16.

    “I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation to set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved,” Kim concluded her statement.
