  • “A STUNNING BETRAYAL EXPOSED”: Dale Moss GOES PUBLIC With Kelley Flanagan After STABBING Kat Izzo in the Back

    “A STUNNING BETRAYAL EXPOSED”: Dale Moss GOES PUBLIC With Kelley Flanagan After STABBING Kat Izzo in the Back

    The “Golden Boy” of the franchise has just set the internet on fire. After months of speculation following his split from Bachelor in Paradise partner Kat Izzo, Dale Moss has reportedly executed a “surgical strike” on his former flame’s heart. In a move that has left fans reeling, Dale has gone public with fellow Bachelor Nation alum Kelley Flanagan, sparking rumors that their “matcha date” in Miami was much more than a casual caffeine run.

    While Dale and Kat initially left Paradise Season 10 as one of the show’s strongest couples, their relationship hit a “catastrophic” end in late 2025. Now, with Dale appearing to move on with the wealthy and successful Chicago lawyer, Kat is reportedly left in a state of “emotional starvation” as she watches her ex-fiancé pivot to a high-profile “NYC-to-Miami” lifestyle.

    The Matcha Date That Melted the Internet

    The scandal erupted on January 7, 2026, when Dale and Kelley posted a collaborative TikTok video. In the clip, the pair were seen laughing and getting cozy at a trendy Miami cafe. While Dale captioned the post declaring himself a “#matchagirlie,” fans were quick to label it a “Fake Love Manifesto” intended to shade his previous relationship.

    “Unexpected duo but love it,” one follower commented, to which Dale replied, “Kelley is a real one.” The interaction has been interpreted by many as a backstab to Kat, especially given that Dale had reportedly told friends he was “deaded” to his former partner’s feelings just weeks before the Miami sightings began.

    Stabbing Kat in the Back?

    Kat Izzo, who recently unfollowed Dale on Instagram, has reportedly been “struggling” with the news. Insiders suggest that the split—which occurred in October 2025—was fueled by Dale’s alleged refusal to commit to a future that didn’t involve “constant brand sponsorships and travel.”

    “Kat feels like she was a placeholder,” a source close to the nurse practitioner revealed. “She gave him her trust, and he reportedly used the visibility of their relationship to pivot into Kelley’s high-society circle. Seeing them together in Miami is the ‘final nail’ in the coffin of their connection. It’s a Gilded Cage of fame that Kat is finally escaping, even if it hurts.”

    The “Legacy Match” with Kelley

    For Kelley Flanagan, who has famously navigated a turbulent on-again, off-again relationship with Peter Weber, Dale Moss represents a “new chapter.” Critics are calling the pairing a “Surgical Strike” on the Bachelor hierarchy, uniting two of the most polarizing and stylish figures in the franchise.

    “They both love the finer things,” a Miami socialite remarked. “Kelley isn’t looking for a ‘Sugar Boyfriend,’ she’s looking for a partner who matches her ambition. Dale is ‘hunting down’ a legacy, and Kelley has the keys to that kingdom.”

    The End of the “Happy Dale” Era?

    As Kat Izzo reportedly “ghosts” the drama to focus on her career as a Family Nurse Practitioner, Dale is leaning into his “Playboy” era. Whether this is a true romance or a “Financial Execution” of a new brand partnership, the message to Kat is clear: You weren’t invited anyway.

    The “Gilded Prison” of Paradise is a distant memory for Dale Moss, who seems to have traded his “Bermuda rugs” for Miami beaches and a new partner who can keep up with his high-speed life.

    “Raw & Unfiltered”: JoJo Fletcher SHATTERS The Perfect Image Of Post-Pregnancy, Confessing To The ‘Crazy’ Physical Toll And Emotional Rollercoaster Of Her C-Section Journey

    Keeping it real.

    Bachelor Nation stars JoJo Fletcher and Jordan Rodgers famously found love and got engaged on Season 12 of “The Bachelorette,” and the two tied the knot in 2022.

    Last year, JoJo opened up about her and Jordan’s journey trying to conceive for the first time in their nine-year relationship.

    And in August 2025, JoJo and Jordan announced the exciting news that they’re expecting their first baby together.

    Last month, the two Bachelor Nation stars officially welcomed their baby girl, Romy Blair Rodgers, into the world!

    Now, JoJo has taken to social media to give a postpartum update and talk about an unexpected side effect from her C-section.


    Instagram
    In a series of photos on her Instagram Story, the new mom shared, “Postpartum night sweats are wild… I’m sleeping with two towels every night, one under me and one on top of me. Never experienced sweating like this in my lifeeeee – & it’s not bc I am hot lol hormones do be crazy.”

    JoJo went on and revealed a side effect she experienced post-delivery that she was not prepared for.

    She said, “Another thing no one warned me about was the INTENSE itching that came from the epidural as it started to wear off post delivery… I itched like crazy for about 2 days afterwards 😅.”

    However, the Bachelor Nation star also stated that “it doesn’t get any better than this.”


    Instagram
    Reflecting back on the past few weeks, JoJo expressed, “If you’re about to deliver your first – just know all the emotions are normal. Scared, anxious, excited, overwhelmed, ready, not ready, whatever it is you’re feeling… Know it’s okay for all those feelings to exist at once.”

    She also gave a word of encouragement for new moms, saying, “But also know you’re about to enter into the most incredible next chapter of your life and experience a love like never before. It’s just all SO worth it. To all my expecting mamas, I’m so excited for you. YOU GOT THIS ♥️.”

    We love hearing from JoJo, and we couldn’t be happier for her, Jordan, and their entire family. Congrats again to the new parents!

  • “IT ALL FELL APART”: ABC OFFICIALLY CANCELS The Golden Bachelor After Mel Owens’ Season Delivers Shockingly Low Viewership and Shatters Fan Expectations

    “IT ALL FELL APART”: ABC OFFICIALLY CANCELS The Golden Bachelor After Mel Owens’ Season Delivers Shockingly Low Viewership and Shatters Fan Expectations

    The final rose has withered, and this time, there won’t be another season to bloom. In a move that has sent shockwaves through Bachelor Nation, ABC has officially pulled the plug on The Golden Bachelor. What was once the network’s shining hope for a “senior romance” renaissance has ended in a pile of broken contracts and dismal Nielsen numbers following the disastrous run of Season 2 lead, Mel Owens.

    Insiders at the network say the decision was a “mercy killing” after a season plagued by controversy, a lack of chemistry, and a lead who managed to alienate the very audience the show was built for.

    The Ratings Freefall

    When Gerry Turner launched the franchise, he brought in a staggering 4.4 million viewers for his premiere. In contrast, the former NFL linebacker Mel Owens saw the audience cut nearly in half, with viewership dipping as low as 1.9 million by the midpoint of his season.

    “The novelty is dead,” a production source spilled. “Executives were looking at the data in real-time and realized the ‘Golden’ magic had evaporated. Fans didn’t just stop watching; they actively revolted.”

    The Premiere Slump: Mel’s debut failed to capture even 60% of the previous season’s audience.

    The “Boring” Factor: Social media was flooded with complaints that the 66-year-old lawyer lacked the charisma needed to carry the two-hour time slot.

    The Exit: Sponsors began quietly pulling back after the third week of declining numbers.

    The “Fit” Fiasco and Fan Backlash

    The season was behind the eight-ball before the first limo even arrived. Mel Owens sparked a national firestorm after his appearance on the In the Trenches podcast, where he made “ageist” demands that producers avoid casting women with “artificial hips and wigs,” stating he would “cut anyone over 60.”

    While Mel eventually issued a public apology, the damage was done. Longtime fans of the franchise felt the show’s original message of “love at any age” had been tainted by a lead who seemed more interested in a “fitness partner” than a soulmate.

    “He wasn’t looking for a wife; he was looking for a co-captain for his workout routine,” one disgruntled contestant reportedly told friends after filming. “The women were incredible, but the match was a total mismatch.”

    A Finale That Broke the Franchise

    The final nail in the coffin was the “cringe-worthy” season finale. After an agonizing choice between Cindy Cullers and Peg Munson, Mel’s “fear of commitment” became the season’s true star. His refusal to offer a traditional proposal—opting instead for a “promise ring” and a request to “date for two more years”—left viewers outraged and the studio audience in stunned silence.

    “Why sign up to be the Golden Bachelor if you’re not ready for the ‘Golden’ years commitment?” questioned one viral post on X. “ABC wasted our time and these women’s lives.”

    Network heads are reportedly shifting their focus back to the flagship Bachelor and Bachelorette series, leaving the future of the entire “Golden” spinoff brand—including the once-popular Golden Bachelorette—in a state of permanent “indefinite hiatus.”

    As one Bravo insider put it: “They tried to recreate lightning in a bottle, but they forgot that you need more than just a famous name and a suit. You need heart. And this season, the heart just wasn’t there.”

    “HER HEART WANTS MORE”: Sydney Lotuaco Wehby Admits She’s ‘Dreaming’ of Expanding Her Family and Welcoming Another Baby

    Growing family?

    Bachelor Nation fans got to know Sydney Lotuaco Wehby on Season 23 of “The Bachelor” and Season 6 of “Bachelor in Paradise.”

    Sydney eventually found love off-screen with Nick Wehby and he proposed to her in December 2021.

    The two tied the knot in May 2023, and in 2024 they welcomed their first child together — a baby girl named Remy Lee Wehby.

    Now the Bachelor Nation alum has taken to social media to reveal that she is “dreaming” of having another baby.

    In a new post on Instagram, she shared multiple pictures of their house and wrote, “Things I daydream about doing in our home one day.”


    Instagram
    Sydney revealed she dreams about adding beams to the ceiling in multiple different rooms, removing their living room carpet, transforming a den into a cozy office, and adding an outdoor space where she can watch Remy and “future kids play.”

    Sydney went on and also shared that she daydreams about turning one of their extra rooms into a nursery.

    She said, “Turning this other dumping ground room into a nursery one day. Maybe with a nautical theme with this cute round window.”

    Sydney posted an example image of a nautical-themed nursery and said, “The daydream.”

    She finished her post, adding, “For now they’re just dreams. Maybe we’ll get to do some of them, all of them, or none. Either way it’s fun to dream! So here’s me doing that out loud.”

    We can’t wait to see what the future holds for Sydney and her family. We’ll keep you posted if we hear any updates about their *potential* growing family!

  • “MY BODY IS NO LONGER A LANDFILL”: Kaity Biggar Torches Bachelor Nation’s ‘Perfect Body’ Fantasy, Ditches Her Implants, and Exposes the Physical and Financial Trauma of Living as a ‘Silicone Puppet’

    “MY BODY IS NO LONGER A LANDFILL”: Kaity Biggar Torches Bachelor Nation’s ‘Perfect Body’ Fantasy, Ditches Her Implants, and Exposes the Physical and Financial Trauma of Living as a ‘Silicone Puppet’

    Getting candid.

    Bachelor Nation fans got to watch fan-favorite couple Kaity Biggar and Zach Shallcross fall in love and get engaged on Season 27 of “The Bachelor.”

    Since then, the two have been enjoying their lives in Austin, Texas, with their dog Honey, and officially tied the knot last year with a Bachelor Nation exclusive wedding video.

    This week, Kaity took to social media to get personal with her followers and open up about getting breast explant surgery.

    In a new video online, she said, “For those that don’t know, the girls, they aren’t real. Currently on my way to Westlake Dermatology and we’re gonna think about getting them taken, so an explant. We’re gonna see what the process is going to be like getting them taken out and how much that would potentially cost. So, let’s go!”

    Kaity then talked about her consultation and discussed what the surgery would look like.

    “We went over everything in this appointment. It’s a consultation. It was free. And we basically talked about what it would look like, what would happen if I got them taken out. So the surgery would take two hours and I would go under,” she said. “Basically when you have an implant put into your body, that’s a foreign object. Your body creates a capsule around it, so they want to go in and remove that whole thing as well. So basically I want to be put under because I want them to take absolutely everything.”


    TikTok
    The Bachelor Nation star then went on and candidly shared what the total cost would be for her surgery.

    She said, “A bilateral breast explant with total capsulectomy, which is what I just talked about, is $11,500. For them to be put in, was like $14,700, but that was Canadian money. I got my breasts done in Canada… I went to a guy that specialized in natural breast augmentations and he honestly killed it. Great job. Zach didn’t even know I had breast implants.”

    Kaity also discussed the recovery time, stating, “What happens is she’ll take them out and then I’ll get two drains put in… and you would have that in for about two weeks. So I would obviously have to take two weeks off work, which is no biggie…So yeah, it’s pretty intense.”

    We appreciate Kaity’s honesty and transparency. We’re wishing her all the best if she decides to go through with the surgery, and we hope she has a smooth recovery!

    GOOD NEWS FROM JOANNA LUMLEY “I still have a long road ahead. But I believe in healing — through love, through family, and through the kindness and prayers from all of you,” Joanna Lumley shared after surgery, her heartfelt words touching fans across the world. Friends say she’s drawing immense strength from loved ones and the outpouring of support online. Known for her resilience and grace, Joanna is facing recovery with hope, patience, and gratitude — a reminder that even the toughest journeys can be eased by love and connection.

    Joaппa Lυmley Shares Emotioпal Health Update After Stroke: “I’m Fightiпg — Bυt I Caп’t Do It Aloпe”

    After weeks of anxious silence and growing concern among admirers around the world, Joanna Lumley has shared a deeply moving update on her health following a serious medical emergency that doctors have classified as critical.

    The beloved British actress, writer, and humanitarian confirmed that she recently underwent surgery and is now beginning a long and arduous recovery process.

    While she has chosen to keep many medical details private, her words carried a quiet bravery that resonated instantly with fans:
    Joanna Lumley, 79, rejects 'positive ageing': 'I'm jolly lucky to be alive' - exclusive | HELLO!

    “I still have a long road ahead,” Lumley wrote. “But I believe in healing — through love, through family, and through the kindness and prayers from all of you.”

    A Sudden Health Crisis

    According to sources close to the family, Lumley’s stroke came unexpectedly, prompting immediate medical intervention and a period of strict analysis.

    Family says the situation was serious enough to require urgent surgery, followed by close monitoring and rest.

    Her seriousness soon worldwide for her elegance, tireless activism, and seemingly boundless energy, the news was both shocking and sobering.

    Yet those closest to her say Lumley faced the crisis with the same quiet courage that has defined her character for decades.

    “She’s never been someone who dramatizes pain,” said one longtime friend. “But this was frightening. It forced her to dig deep — something Joanna rarely does.”

    “I’m Fighting — But I Can’t Do It Alone”

    In her most powerful statement, Lumley acknowledged both her determination and her vulnerability.

    “I’m fighting,” she shared. “But I can’t do it alone.”

    The words struck a chord across social media, where thousands of messages poured in within hours.

    Followers, public figures, and fans from multiple generations expressed gratitude for her honesty — and admiration for her strength.

    Medical experts said that recovery from a stroke is rarely linear.

    Fatigue, emotional strain, and physical rehabilitation often accompany the healing process.

    Lumley herself alluded to this reality, emphasizing patience and self-compassion as her fight goes through.

    Surrounded by Family and Love

    Friends describe Lumley as being surrounded by close family members and a small, trusted circle of lifelong companions.

    The atmosphere, they say, is calm, supportive, and deeply loving — exactly what doctors recommend during early recovery.

    “She draws enormous strength from the people around her,” another source explained. “She hates fuss. She rests. And she allows herself to be cared for.”

    That shift, subtle yet profound, marks a new chapter for a woman long celebrated for her independence and resilience.


    A Life That Touched Millions

    For decades, Joanna Lumley has been far more than a screen icon.

    From unforgettable performances to tireless humanitarian work, she has consistently used her voice to advocate for others — refugees, veterans, environmental causes, and marginalized communities.

    Now, supporters say, the world has an opportunity to give something back.

    “She has spent her life comforting others,” one admirer wrote online. “Let her rest. She’s earned it.”


    Hope, Not Headlines

    Those close to Lumley stress that this update is not about spectacle or sympathy, but connection.

    There is no timetable for her return to public life, and no pressure for appearances or performances.

    Recovery, they emphasize, is the priority.

    In her own words, Lumley once described the meaning of something simple — and deeply human:

    “Sometimes, what matters most on the road to healing is knowing you’re not alone.”

    As messages of love continue to arrive from every corner of the globe, that truth feels unmistakably clear.

    Joanna Lumley is not walking this road by herself — and she never has.

Those closest to the couple describe the moment he decided as utterly heart-stopping, a mixture of fear, love, and devotion that left everyone in tears. “She’s been there for me through everything, through the darkest times, and now it’s my turn to be there for her, no matter what it costs me,” he whispered. It wasn’t just the magnitude of what he gave up — the public life, the comfort, the recognition — but the quiet, unseen sacrifices that make the moment so achingly human. In stepping away from everything familiar, he didn’t just change his own path — he rewrote theirs, proving that true love sometimes asks for the deepest, most painful acts of courage.

    An ITV legend launched a surprise new career after he quit This Morning and left his colleagues in tears.

    Martin Frizell stepped down as editor of the daytime programme back in February to take care of his wife Fiona Phillips, who has Alzheimer’s.

    Now, he has announced his next career move and revealed on Instagram that he would be working on a new weekly podcast, This Much Is True Crime.

    The new venture is set to launch soon, but an exact date is yet to be confirmed.

    He wrote: ‘Takes a prolific serial killer to knock Adolescence off the No1 Netflix spot. Gone Girls profiles America’s modern day Jack the Ripper and his body count may not be over yet!

    ‘If it’s in the headlines or the ratings, we’re talking about it. We start with Gone Girls. Not just a whodunnit, but a whydunnit?’

    It comes after Martin appeared on This Morning in February on his very last day on set.

    Martin had overseen the show’s production for the last decade and at the end of his final episode, he sat on the sofa with Josie Gibson and Alison Hammond.

    In a moving segment, the co-presenters told Frizzell how much he meant to them and how much they valued his impact on their careers.

    An emotional Hammond said: ‘He’s the one that took a chance on us, transforming mine and Josie’s careers.

    ‘It’s an incredible opportunity and we just want to say thank you very much. We love you’.

    The This Morning presenter continued: ‘On behalf of the team on This Morning we think you are incredible and we are so sad to see you go’.

    Gibson echoed Hammond’s words, adding that Frizell believed in her when she didn’t even believe in herself.

    ‘I just want to say, thank you so much because you believed in me when I didn’t even believe in myself and you grew me as a presenter and I just can’t thank you enough’.

    Reacting to the pair’s kind words, Frizell replied: ‘If you were rubbish, you wouldn’t be on telly. You’re very good. It has been a great ride and a fantastic time’.

    His departure from the show’s production team had been announced earlier on during the broadcast by Gibson and came off the back of his own announcement last November that he would soon be stepping down for personal reasons.

    Frizell’s wife Fiona Phillips had received a heartbreaking Alzheimer’s diagnosis back in 2022, with the This Morning boss taking the decision to quit the show in order to spend more time with her.

    ‘Next year I’m expecting my family priorities to change, so I need to free up time for them’, the 66-year-old said back in November.

    ‘I love my team at This Morning and will miss them and the thrill of live telly, but it’s an always on, 24 hours a day, seven days a week commitment, and I won’t be able to do both.

  • “I’VE NEVER FELT ANYTHING LIKE THIS…” 😭 Hamza Yassin left Britain in tears after an “impossible” 4AM moment alone in a peat bog — no crew, no scripts, just him facing the wild in its rawest, most humbling form. What happened next was so intimate, so silent, that viewers stopped breathing, caught between awe and heartbreak. Even Sir David Attenborough, who rarely speaks publicly, broke his silence: “Moments like this remind us why the wild is both beautiful and humbling.” Fans flooded social media calling it “heart-stopping,” “magical,” and “the most emotional thing I’ve ever seen on TV.”

    “I’VE NEVER FELT ANYTHING LIKE THIS…” 😭 Hamza Yassin left Britain in tears after an “impossible” 4AM moment alone in a peat bog — no crew, no scripts, just him facing the wild in its rawest, most humbling form. What happened next was so intimate, so silent, that viewers stopped breathing, caught between awe and heartbreak. Even Sir David Attenborough, who rarely speaks publicly, broke his silence: “Moments like this remind us why the wild is both beautiful and humbling.” Fans flooded social media calling it “heart-stopping,” “magical,” and “the most emotional thing I’ve ever seen on TV.”

    Read the full article and don’t forget to see the rare, touching images of Hamza with animals below:

    Move over, every polished presenter who ever read a script about badgers: Britain has chosen its new natural-history heartbeat, and he’s a 6-foot-6 Sudanese-Scottish giant who learned to track lynx before he could drive, cries when otters hold hands, and once spent 42 straight nights sleeping in a hide just to film pine martens falling in love.

    Last night, BBC One dropped the first trailer for Hamza’s Wild Britain (a six-part landmark series launching spring 2026), and within four hours it became the most-watched BBC trailer in a decade. The final 15 seconds alone have been viewed 28 million times: Hamza, knee-deep in a Highland river at dawn, whispering so gently the microphone barely catches it as a mother otter teaches her pup to swim literally inches from his face. No music. Just his soft Glasgow-Sudanese lilt: “Look… she’s telling him the water will hold him, if he trusts it. Same thing my mum told me when we arrived in Scotland and I couldn’t speak a word of English.”

    The numbers are insane:

    4.7 million pre-saved the series on iPlayer before a single episode aired.
    #HamzaYassin trended above the general election results.
    Children’s bookshops sold out of otter plush toys by 10 a.m. because “my kid says Hamza told them to love otters.”

    But the real story isn’t the ratings; it’s the journey.

    Hamza arrived in rural Northamptonshire from Sudan at age eight, speaking no English, clutching a bird book his father gave him “because birds don’t care what language you speak.” By twelve he was the weird kid cycling ten miles before school to photograph kingfishers. At sixteen he won Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year with a shot of a fox cub yawning that looked like it was laughing at the universe. University (Bangor, zoology) was just an excuse to live closer to puffins.

    Then came the decade nobody saw: camera-operating on Planet Earth IIISpringwatch, and Countryfile, always the guy in the muddy boots who could lie motionless for 14 hours until a badger sniffed his lens and decided he was harmless. Crew nicknamed him “the Otter Whisperer” after he filmed the first-ever footage of wild otters playing with pebbles in the Cairngorms, entirely by becoming part of the furniture for six weeks.

    His big break was accidental. In 2022 he entered Strictly Come Dancing “because my mum loves glitterballs and I thought it might pay for a new hide.” He won the whole thing with Jowita Przystał, foxtrotting like a man who’d spent his life learning rhythm from golden eagles soaring on thermals. Overnight, eight million people discovered the gentle giant who spoke about conservation between sambas.

    The BBC pounced. First Hamza: Wild Isles (2024), then the Emmy-nominated Hamza’s Sudan (2025), where he returned to his birthplace to film the last northern white rhinos under the same stars he watched as a child. Critics called it “the most emotional hour of television this decade.” Viewers just called it “life-changing.”

    Now Hamza’s Wild Britain is being billed as the spiritual successor to Attenborough’s Life on Earth. Shot entirely by Hamza himself (he still refuses a full camera crew because “animals don’t like strangers”), it promises never-before-seen behaviour: red squirrels teaching their young to tightrope-walk power lines, urban foxes using pedestrian crossings at night, golden eagles hunting in snowstorms so violent Hamza had to be roped to a cliff for three days.

    In the adorable clip, the pair stand side-by-side behind a wooden easel while painting a mystery artwork to the tune of Elton John’s Tiny Dancer — a nod to their Strictly roots.

    As the music builds, they turn the canvas around to reveal three stick figures: one representing Dianne, one Joe, and a tiny child drawn between them — confirming they are welcoming a baby boy in 2026.

    And Aljaz Skorjanec added:
    “Just the best news!!! HUGE congratulations!! You two are going to be the most EPIC parents ever!”

    Even head judge Shirley Ballas joined in, writing:
    “Ahhhh congratulations to you both @diannebuswell @joe_sugg ❤️ such beautiful news.”

    The pair famously met on Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, where they reached the final together. Around the same time, Dianne split from then-boyfriend Anthony Quinlan after being swept off her feet by Joe.

    Although they narrowly missed out on the glitterball trophy, they returned for the 2019 Christmas special and were awarded a perfect score by judges Shirley Ballas, Motsi Mabuse, Craig Revel Horwood and Bruno Tonioli.

    Joe asked Dianne to move in with him in 2019, before the couple relocated to a sprawling £3.5 million countryside mansion in 2021.

    Now, as they prepare to welcome their baby boy next year, the Strictly stars are stepping into their most exciting chapter yet.
