A royal couple could be on the brink of divorce after celebrating two years of marriage as a major hint was dropped at an anti-Valentines day event.

Archduke Alexander of Austria and Natacha Roumiantzoff-Pachkevitch tied the knot with a magical wedding in Belgium on September 13, 2023. The stunning day, which took place at the Eglise Saint Pierre, was seen as one of the biggest social events on the calendar.

According to reports, the couple have broken up, with divorce being suggested as a likely option. Rumours of the divorce began to surface after Natacha introduced herself by her maiden name at an anti-Valentine’s Day event she organised with her company.

The princess was also missing from Archduchess Estella of Austria’s funeral back in March. The couple’s aristocratic links stretch back many generations, reports Express.

While Natacha is thought to descend from Russian nobility, Alexander is the great-grandson of Charles I, the last Habsburg emperor of Austria and King of Hungary. He also has ties, through his grandmother, to one of the oldest noble families in Belgium, the Princess of Ligne.

The wedding was understandably a bittersweet occasion as it took place shortly after the death of the Archduke’s grandmother, Archduchess Yolande. Her funeral was held at the Eglise Saint Pierre a few days before the couple returned to the same location for their ceremony.

Following the ceremony, the couple were showered in confetti and travelled to their reception at the Château de Belœil, the seat of the Princes of Ligne. Among the many famous guests were Queen Mathilde of Belgium, Crown Grand Duke Guillaume of Luxembourg and Crown Grand Duchess Stephanie of Luxembourg, Prince Joachim of Belgium, Prince Felix of Luxembourg and Princess Marie-Gabrielle of Nassau.

The House of Ligne is one of the oldest Belgian noble families and the castle has been the seat of the Princes of Ligne since 1394.

Speaking of the tragedy, her dad Sérgio da Silva told local media that the singer hadn’t shown any signs of illness before her stroke. He said: “She left home to have lunch on Friday, and three hours later she was in a coma.

“For this year, 2025, we had big plans. For her, her clothing brand, new songs for her album. To know my daughter passed like this, it hurts so much. It still hasn’t sunk in.”

Renowned Brazilian singer and percussionist, Carlinhos Brown, who was a judge on The Voice Brasil, was among those paying tribute to the teen online.

“Karen Silva shined in our show and in life — always happy and willing to learn more in music. Today, with feelings and condolences to his family, we bid farewell to this powerful person.”

“What we have left is hope in the sacred.
We don’t know God’s designs and how He acts on souls. I fully believe she is the chosen one to reaffirm in us the desire to win. May God bless your spirit and put you in a good place.”

Karen’s first vocal coach, Lana Netto, also said: “After just a few lessons, she sang the song and enchanted everyone with her striking voice.

“From that day on, Karen never stopped singing and captivating people.”

Andrew Johnston, who was on Britain’s Got Talent in 2008, is on trial at Southwark Crown Court charged with raping and sexually assaulting one woman, and raping another woman

A woman who accused a former contestant on Britain’s Got Talent of raping her said she stayed the night after the alleged incident as she “felt frozen”.

Andrew Johnston, 30, competed as a singer on the television programme in 2008 and is now on trial at Southwark Crown Court charged with raping and sexually assaulting one woman, and raping another woman. The alleged offences happened a number of years after Johnston appeared on Britain’s Got Talent, Maryam Syed KC, prosecuting, told the jury previously.

Ms Syed said Johnston had been “engaging in consensual sexual activity” with one complainant, but he removed his condom, and the complainant “repeatedly told Mr Johnston to stop” but he did not. A video interview of one of the complainants was played to the jury and she said Johnston held one hand on her throat and her arms were pinned with his other hand.

The woman told the jury on Friday that after the alleged rape she stayed over as she “felt frozen”. Rupert Kent, defending, put to her that it would not have been difficult to leave at some point in the night.

She replied: “It was difficult to me. I felt frozen and stuck in place. I felt trapped and like I couldn’t move. I felt stuck and anxious.” At a later date, the woman said she saw the defendant at a club and he “groped my bum”, then outside “grabbed me by the shoulders and forcibly kissed me”.

Under cross-examination on Thursday afternoon, Mr Kent put to the woman that Johnston did not remove the condom while having sex with her, to which she said he did. Mr Kent suggested to the woman that she “exaggerated or embellished what might be considered hard or energetic consensual sex, and moved it into the realms of non-consensual sex”, and the woman replied “no”.

He put to her that the allegation was a “deliberate lie” and she said “it’s not a lie”. The other complainant told police she had engaged in consensual sexual activity with the defendant and asked him to use a condom, the prosecution said.

The woman said she started to feel the defendant’s hands around her neck and “no matter how many times she removed them, she said the defendant kept on putting his hands back around her throat”, Ms Syed said. He then stopped and removed the condom, then carried on with the intercourse, and she “indicated that he once again put his hands around her throat”.

Johnston, of Newtown Road, Carlisle, Cumbria, denies two counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. The trial continues.

As the Beckhams are rocked by more feud rumours, a source close to the family tells us exclusively that there’s only one way the family can come back together – or risk driving a wedge even further.

As the Beckham family is rocked by more rift rumours, a source claims only one person can fix things(Image: FilmMagic)

David Beckham is turning 50 on May 2nd – and while we’d expect wall-to-wall tributes and a huge family party to mark the occasion, it looks like things behind the scenes aren’t quite so picture-perfect. The Beckhams are known for being super tight. But in the run-up to David’s milestone birthday, fans and those close to the family spotted what they maintained were signs of tension – and all eyes were once again on Brooklyn Beckham and wife Nicola Peltz.

Now, a source exclusively tells OK! that his devoted wife Victoria Beckham is “absolutely heartbroken” over the ongoing divide – and thinks that David could be the only one capable of bringing everyone back together. “Victoria’s absolutely heartbroken. She’s always been the queen bee – the one who keeps the family together, smooths things over. She’s a real family woman. But at the end of the day, she can’t control her eldest. Brooklyn’s a grown man now. He’s made his choices, especially when it comes to who he’s with – who, sadly, doesn’t always agree with the way the Beckham brand works,” they claim.

“They feel they’ve got their own brand – kind of in competition with each other. Victoria will do everything to pull this back. She’ll plead, she’ll cry, she’ll try and reason with him. But Brooklyn is stubborn. He listens to his wife over her – and that’s what she can’t get over,” they add.

Victoria celebrated her 51st birthday earlier this month with a lavish party on their superyacht in Miami, attended by friends and family, which lent itself to sun-soaked selfies galore…. but Brooklyn and Nicola were noticeably missing in action.

Worse still, while the rest of the family – Romeo, Cruz, Harper and of course, David – all posted gushing birthday tributes online, Brooklyn and Nicola stayed noticeably silent on their socials. The apparent snub didn’t go unnoticed by fans, especially since Nicola had plenty of time to post about her and Brooklyn’s trip to Coachella music festival that weekend, instead – with no public mention from Nicola or Brooklyn of Victoria’s big day.

Our source goes on to claim that, despite rumoured tensions behind-the-scenes, any frosty relations can be fixed – with a little help from David.

“David is the most wonderful father and has given them the most wonderful life. He props up Victoria’s fashion brand, he does everything for the family, but even he can’t control this – and Victoria thinks she can. That’s the problem.”

Now, the family’s future harmony could hinge on Becks, they claim. “David has a chance at fixing this now. He’s a great communicator, and they have huge respect for him. He’s the one that can do it.”

Victoria recently celebrated her 51st birthday with her family… but Brooklyn and Nicola were nowhere to be seen

This isn’t the first time rumors of a rift in the family have swirled. Brooklyn and Nicola’s 2022 wedding was swathed in talk of a “feud” between Victoria and Nicola. Reports at the time alleged that the pair clashed over everything from the dress to the guest list – and despite the clan giving the appearance of happy families in public, fans think something’s been bubbling under the surface ever since.

So what’s really going on behind Brooklyn and Nicola’s no-shows at major family events? The couple missed Victoria’s 51st birthday bash and skipped her Paris Fashion Week show back in February – but there is speculation that it’s not just down to scheduling issues.There’s growing chatter that the real reason might be closer to home… and it’s got everything to do with Romeo’s girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnball.

Romeo, 22, and Kim have been dating for six months. But, according to reports, Brooklyn, 26, and Kim had first dated back when they were teenagers. If rumour is to believed, Brooklyn and Nicola have been keeping their distance because they don’t want to be around when Romeo is with Kim – which would explain why they’ve been swerving big family get-togethers lately.

And while the rest of the Beckhams have embraced Kim with open arms (she was seen at Victoria’s birthday do, after all), it would seem this age-gap romance has thrown a major spanner in the works when it comes to family peace and harmony.

Victoria has always made it crystal clear – her family is her world. From cute Insta tributes to heart-warming holiday pics, she’s incredibly close with her children and husband, and no stranger to letting the world know. In interviews, she’s gushed more than once about how much she values loyalty, unity and keeping her brood close.

For the doting mum of four, for her eldest son and his wife to keep their distance during such a special time has got to sting – especially when family is so important to them. As David has said in the past, “We stay together because we love each other, because we have four amazing children.

“Do you go through tough times?” Of course. That’s part of relationships. It’s part of marriages. It’s part of having children. It’s part of having responsibilities.”

While David doesn’t seem the type to wade into drama, he’s been busy hyping up Victoria’s birthday with gushy posts and throwback pics. He even shared a video of the Spice Girls singing Stop at her party, calling her “the most amazing wife, mummy & best friend.

But fans couldn’t help notice there’s been no recent cosy content featuring Brooklyn and Nicola. As David hits the big 5-0, all eyes will be on who shows up to celebrate. With the countdown on to David’s milestone birthday, this could be the perfect moment for him to help heal this supposed rift.

Aspiring chef Brooklyn Beckham took to his social media page to share an instructional video on how to cook a vodka sauce using his brand new hot sauce, Cloud 23

Brooklyn Beckham’s grandmother was quick to roast the aspiring chef after he posted a video of himself cooking pasta with a vodka sauce using hot sauce from his very own brand, Cloud 23. On his Instagram page, the 25-year-old showed a step-by-step guide on how to cook the famously simple sauce as he added a twist with his hot sauce.

The star’s grandmother, Jackie Adams, left a savage comment as she told him: “Even I could make that Brooklyn,” along with a slew of kisses. Fans were obsessed with her response as one told her: “grandma roasting! [laughing emoji] kudos,” and another one added: “respect!! He has to take it from you.”

Brooklyn’s other grandma, Sandra Beckham, left a nicer comment for her grandson, posting: “Mmmmm that looks good.”

The star’s latest post comes after he channelled his mum and dad with snaps taken with wife Nicola Peltz Beckham on a Ducati motorcycle.

Both wore helmets for the snap. In another, Nicola posed solo on the red bike while rocking leggings. Brooklyn, 26, captioned the post: “My passenger princess x [motorcycle emoji] @usedbikesdirect.”

While some fans reminded them to put on proper riding gear, many complimented the stars, with one saying: “didn’t know you ride! That’s amazing,” and another adding: “Lucky boy!”

Nicola, 30, also shared similar model-like snaps on her page, all taken in a garage. Only one picture showed them riding around the neighbourhood as Nicola showed off Brooklyn’s neck tattoo – which is of her eyes.

“I love you baby @brooklynpeltzbeckham,” Nicola captioned her photos. The duo’s snaps were similar to the ones taken by Brooklyn’s parents Victoria and David when they were on a US road trip in 2022.

At the time, Victoria shared a clip of their ride as she added Kenny Loggins’ hit song, Danger Zone, in the background.

Victoria wrote in the caption: “Our Maverick Moment!! @davidbeckham has been trying to get me on the back of his bike for years and finally I did it! It was so much fun!!”

David also shared a video on his page and said: “My happy place!” Brooklyn and Nicola’s new snaps come amid a rumoured feud within the family.

Meanwhile, there have been rumours that of a family feud after Brooklyn failed to publicly wish his mother a happy 51st birthday. Instead, he was partying at Coachella Festival with his wife and friends.

Brooklyn shared pictures from his time at the festival but none of his family, who were all celebrating Victoria’s special day.

RuPaul’s Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard is among the finalists on Celebrity Big Brother, which concludes tonight, and fellow drag artist La Voix recently spoke about them

(Image: ITV)

Fellow RuPaul’s Drag Race UK star La Voix has said that it’s “fabulous” to see Danny Beard on Celebrity Big Brother. The drag artist teased over the housemate ahead of the final.

Danny, 32, is among the finalists on show, which returned for its second series on ITV two weeks ago. Like the other five remaining housemates, they will be leaving the Big Brother house in tonight’s final, where one of them will follow in the footsteps of David Potts by being crowned the winner.

Just days ago, La Voix, 44 – whose real name is Christopher Dennis – shared her thoughts on Danny being on this year’s series of the reality TV show. They have both been finalists on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, though appeared on different seasons, and have performed together in the past.

La Voix told the Mirror earlier this week: “How fabulous to see one of my Drag Race family in the big house! [Danny] on Celebrity Big Brother is like watching RuPaul meets Argos – fabulous, chaotic, and somehow always shouting over the kettle. I’m not sure if they’re playing the game or redecorating the house in sequins, but I’m here for it.”

Asked if she was surprised that Danny has been a favourite to win ahead of the upcoming final, La Voix teased: “Not at all, darling. It’s Celebrity Big Brother, not Mensa. The louder you shout, the closer you get to the crown – and Danny’s been practically screaming in rhinestones since day one.”

Some viewers have questioned if Danny is ‘playing up for the cameras,’ though any suggestion of that was dismissed by one of their pals in an interview with us. Asked about the fan reaction and if we’re seeing the real Danny in the Big Brother house, La Voix teased: “They love the camera so much I’m surprised it hasn’t asked for a restraining order.”

The drag performer was also asked if Drag Race would have prepared Danny for Celebrity Big Brother. Danny appeared on the BBC show in 2022 and went on to win it, whilst La Voix was herself runner-up two years later.

Answering the question, La Voix said: “Well confessionals, surprise nominations and questionable wigs are making a comeback in Big Brother so it’s known territory. We never saw Danny make breakfast and morning coffee with Ru Paul, but tight costume budgets mixed with tight food budgets must be testing him.”

La Voix – who spoke to us about her own career recently – teased that she would welcome Danny onto her the Show Isn’t Over tour later this year. She said: “If [Danny] came on tour with me, they’d be the official opening act – just enough to get the audience warmed up and mildly entertained before I’d put him on preparing my ridiculous rider of peeling Maltesers.”

Danny is among the finalists on the second series of Celebrity Big Brother, which ends with its final tonight. They are up against Chesney Hawkes, Chris Hughes, Donna Preston, JoJo Siwa and Jack P. Shepherd for the crown.

Chris Hughes has opened up on his close relationship from JoJo Siwa during his interview with Will Best and AJ Odudu as he leaves the Celebrity Big Brother house

Chris Hughes has spoken out about his close friendship with housemate JoJo Siwa. Chris was the first housemate to be evicted in the final, and during his exit interview with Will Best and AJ Odudu, the Love Island star, 32, opened up on his close friendship with JoJo – comparing her to his ex-girlfriend, Little Mix star Jesy Nelson.

JoJo and Chris’ close friendship has become one of the most talked about moments of the 2025 series. The two became extremely close and were seen sharing cuddles in bed together. Although many thought it was purely platonic, others have raised eyebrows – as JoJo is currently in a relationship with partner Kath Ebbs.

During his interview, Chris said: “JoJo was like a pure rock to me. She was someone that I could have fun with. That to me was a beautiful friendship.

“She said to me last night you’re someone in my life I didn’t know I needed,” Chris then broke into tears as he said: “she reminded me a lot of….”

“The thing that fascinates me the most about her is not the things she’s done, it’s what she’s been through when she was a teenager and that’s similar to what my ex-girlfriend went through.

“Seeing how they are both similarly as… in the respect that she’s come through a lot and she’s just a purely nice person. The similarity is in the personality. How nice they are, how loving they are and how caring they are.

Chris and Jesy dated from January 2019 until April 2020. (

“From a friendship point of view, of course I love her,” Chris said of JoJo.

Fans couldn’t believe Chris had spoken about Jesy during his interview, as one tweeted: “CHRIS COMPARING JOJO TO JESY NELSON!” A second wrote: “Not Chris comparing Jojo to his ex Jesy #CBBUK”.

Chris and Jesy began dating at the start of 2019, however, their relationship came to an end just over a year later. At the time, the source said the split was amicable and the two “remain good friends”.

It comes after Chris’ close friend and former co-star Jake Quickenden defended him for getting close to the Dance Moms star, claiming he’s “addicted to connection”.

Speaking to host AJ Odudu, father of two Jake said: “He is addicted to connection. I did a show with him, he latched onto me and I couldn’t get rid of him. Still can’t get rid of him,” he laughed.

“It was the same in Love Island with Kem,” Jake continued. “He finds his person and they’re his safety blanket.

Speaking on JoJo and Chris sharing cuddles in bed together, Jake said: “Even when I stop over at his house he won’t let me sleep in the spare room, he makes me sleep in bed with him. He wants to have a chat and he wants to wake up and bring you a cup of tea. That’s just Chris.”

Celebrity Big Brother: Late and Live had all the housemates back together again as they discussed everything they happened in the house in the last three weeks

Danny Beard’s savage dig at Chris Hughes as he explains ‘game player’ comment

Danny Beard didn’t hold back as he took a swipe at Chris Hughes over his friendship with JoJo Siwa during Celebrity Big Brother: Late and Live. The iconic Drag Queen came in second place on Friday night’s final, with Jack P Shepherd being announced as the winner.

After the main show, fans tuned into ITV2 to get the 411 on everything that happened in the house. Chris and JoJo have been grilled non-stop about their friendship since leaving the house a few hours ago, and the former even hit out at ‘game player’ accusations.

Ella Rae Wise has been suspicious over Chris’ relationship with JoJo, with her feeling more conflicted after Daley Thompson said someone was playing a game. During her exit interview, she claimed Chris could “benefit” from his friendship with JoJo.

Danny made a savage dig at Chris

He said to the hosts and the audience after coming in sixth place: “Why would I not want to get on with people when I’m in the house and everyone will naturally bond with somebody so if I want to spend time with someone who makes me feel like I’m at home, makes me feel happy, makes me forget that I’m filming at TV show.

On Late and Live, they were grilled again and fan-favourite Danny made a shock comment about Chris’ intentions with JoJo. Danny yelled out: “You wanted more Instagram followers,” before host AJ Odudu said: “He’s joking.” Brushing it off, Chris joked: “I could do with a few more.”

Chris and JoJo have a special friendship and, like Marmite, fans either loved them or hated them. Over the last three weeks, viewers watched as the pair cuddled in bed, danced, gave each other massages, embraced in the hot tub and were glued to each other’s sides.

Many have questioned Chris and JoJo’s friendship(Image: REX/Shutterstock for Big Brother)

On Friday’s final, it was announced Chris, 32, came in sixth place and he was immediately grilled about his close friendship with JoJo, 21.

During his interview, Chris told AJ Odudu and Will Best : “JoJo was like a pure rock to me. She was someone that I could have fun with. That to me was a beautiful friendship.

“She said to me last night you’re someone in my life I didn’t know I needed,” Chris then broke down in tears as he said: “she reminded me a lot of….”

“The thing that fascinates me the most about her is not the things she’s done, it’s what she’s been through when she was a teenager and that’s similar to what my ex-girlfriend went through.

“Seeing how they are both similarly as… in the respect that she’s come through a lot and she’s just a purely nice person. The similarity is in the personality. How nice they are, how loving they are and how caring they are.

“From a friendship point of view, of course I love her,” Chris said of JoJo.

JoJo was soon voted out of the house and walked out in third place, much to the shock of fans at home. Speaking to AJ and Will, she opened up about her bond with Chris and revealed they have plans to play tennis on Sunday.

She said she “absolutely loved and adored Chris” and that he would be in her life forever now. “He’s helped me create my happiness in this house, he’s more than a friend, we had a lot of fun.”

JoJo Siwa’s partner Kath Ebbs has reportedly made a surprise appearance at the Celebrity Big Brother final despite not meeting their girlfriend at the side of the stage

JoJo Siwa’s partner Kath Ebbs wasn’t seen greeting JoJo at the side of the stage during the Celebrity Big Brother final, however, it’s been reported that Kath did attend, but asked to remain backstage.It comes after Kath stayed silent on social media following JoJo’s close friendship with Love Island star Chris Hughes. The pair have been seen cuddling and tickling each other’s backs in bed together – which has raised eyebrows with some viewers

Fans were convinced Kath would be a no show after her social media silence. Kath previously defended JoJo after Mickey Rourke made homophobic comments about the Dance Moms star. Meanwhile, they last posted on both TikTok and Instagram on April 11.

Although Kath wasn’t seen on camera during the final, a source told The Sun: “Kath has surprised everyone by coming to meet JoJo when she leaves the house tonight, but [they] gave Celebrity Big Brother bosses strict orders that [they] wont be in any camera shots – filmed or still camera – nothing.”

“[They’re] stressed and has demanded [they] remain backstage out of sight.”

The Mirror has contacted ITV and Big Brother for comment.

During her exit interview, JoJo gushed about her friendship with Chris, saying he was “more than a friend.”

“I’m so incredibly grateful for him. He’s helped me get through my hard times in the house but more importantly he’s helped me create my happiness in this house. He’s more than a friend, he’s just such a special guy, I’m so lucky. We had a lot of fun,” she said.

Last night, JoJo received an emotional letter from her mum, which included a message from her partner – but fans are convinced there was a hidden meaning. The note, read out by Chris Hughes, said: “The most important thing to tell you is a message from Kath because I know you really miss them the most. Kath’s keen to see you when you get out, inverted commas.’”.

“I’ve had so much fun with Kath while you were away, we’ve had lots of FaceTimes and she even came over my house to watch the launch show,” JoJo’s mum Jessalynn revealed. JoJo was then left in tears as she thought deeply into her message, later questioning why Kath hadn’t said she loved her.

Another fan who suspected Kath had ‘dumped’ JoJo through the letter said: “Jojo after expecting a nice, heartwarming letter from home but it’s just Kath saying she’s dumped x #cbbuk”.

Gregg Wallace revealed he struggled with suicidal thoughts after he was axed from MasterChef amid accusations of inappropriate behaviour on set

Gregg Wallace reveals struggles with ‘suicidal thoughts’ after MasterChef scandal(Image: BBC)

Former MasterChef judge Gregg Wallace has admitted to struggling with suicidal thoughts after he was hit with allegations of misconduct. The shamed food critic, 60, was forced to step away from his beloved role on MasterChef in November 2024, as explosive allegations of misconduct surfaced.

In October, Eat Well for Less star was accused of gross misconduct, including making inappropriate sexual comments to 13 colleagues, including Kirsty Wark, and engaging in alleged bullying behaviour. The star, who fronted the show since 2005, was accused of making “inappropriate sexual jokes”, asking for the number of female production team members and getting undressed “too close” to women on the show.

He had also been accused of ‘groping’ three women in separate incidents. The TV star was soon forced to step down from his role at MasterChef while the BBC and production company Banijay UK launched an investigation into the allegations.

Gregg’s lawyers have vehemently denied any accusations of sexual harassment. It was later announced he would be replaced on Celebrity MasterChef with renowned restaurant critic Grace Dent joining John Torode at the helm.

This news followed serious allegations from Penny Lancaster, who claimed she was a “victim of bullying and harassment” by Gregg.

Gregg, however, previously brushed off the complaints, dismissing them as coming from “a handful of middle-class women of a certain age.” His comments were criticised by many, including Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy.

And now, months after he hit headlines, Gregg sat down for an interview with Mail+ and admitted he has “thought about suicide all the time”.

After being axed from MasterChef via a Zoom call with bosses in November, he said his “world tumbled in”. He revealed he didn’t talk to anyone for days before a senior executive from MasterChef contacted him following his ‘middle-class women’ comment – which he says was his ‘biggest mistake’.

“Nobody should be left on their own to face something like this,” he explained. “It’s very difficult to explain the pressure unless you’ve been through it.

“I thought about suicide all the time: ‘Is my insurance up to date? Will Anna get some money? She doesn’t deserve this. It would be better if I wasn’t here’.”

Meanwhile, the TV judge’s lawyers were previously quoted by BBC News as saying “it is entirely false that he engages in behaviour of a sexually harassing nature”.
