    BBC finally reveals full Gavin and Stacey trailer and fans are in total awe

    Fans of Gavin and Stacey are going wild after the BBC dropped the trailer for the much anticipated Christmas special, with viewers hoping to finally get some answers on Nessa and Smithy

    Fans are going wild after the BBC finally dropped the trailer for the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.

    The brand new episode, which will air on Christmas Day, will pick up from the 2019 cliffhanger, which left viewers reeling as Nessa got down on one knee to propose to Smithy. It became the most watched TV comedy show since Only Fools and Horses in 2002, and saw fans desperate to pick up where they left off to find out what happened with the unlikely couple.

    Fans couldn’t contain themselves, especially after seeing Ruth Jones’ Nessa make a special cameo on the Strictly final to read out the terms and conditions in character. They took to social media to share their excitement.

    One wrote: “Full goosebumps for the Gavin and Stacey trailer. I am so excited!”. Another said: “The excitement is real—can’t wait to see how they wrap it all up!” Someone else said: “I’m so excited! Can’t wait for Christmas day,” while a fourth agreed, commenting: “I am ridiculously excited for the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special.”

    One fan posted: “OMFG Nessa YOU ABSOLUTE LEGEND!!! We are gonna be a mess on Christmas day.. the last ever Gavin & Stacey !!” A sixth fan shared: “Honestly more excited for Gavin and Stacey & Eastenders than Christmas itself.”

    In the trailer, fans see Stacey, played by Joanna Page, chat with her husband Gavin while he’s at work. Played by Mathew Horne, Gavin chats with his wife about their memories together from the past in 2000s, with Stacey saying: “Oh, I’m absolutely buzzing, I am. A whole weekend away, just me and you!”

    Gavin mysteriously replies: “Well, yeah, except it’s not just me and you, is it?” Other familiar faces then start to enter, with James Corden’s Smithy calling Gavin Gaviscon, Pam and Mick (Alison Steadman and Larry Lamb) can be seen getting the table ready for Christmas dinner. Pam’s wearing her signature rollers and can be seen dressed in pink and hurrying around, while laid back Michael leisurely strolls around.

    Neil the Baby is warned to behave by his mum Nessa, who says: “Pass me those nunchucks,” to Stacey, with Neil looking on mischievously. Gwen brings up ‘that’ fishing trip with Bryn, hilariously accusing them of “tearing the family apart” – fans will be on the edge of their seats hoping to finally find out what went on.

    Dawn (Julia Davis) and Pete (Adrian Scarborough) are still bickering after all this time, with Dawn calling her husband a “despicable little rat” at one point. The families can then be seen having a drunken party in Pamela and Mick’s house. Nessa and Smithy are shown looking extremely close and flirtatious. Is this a sign that the pair actually got together? We’ll have to wait until Christmas Day to find out.

  • Strictly Come Dancing winner Chris McCausland’s ‘chaotic’ wife and doting daughter

    Strictly Come Dancing winner Chris McCausland’s ‘chaotic’ wife and doting daughter

    Chris McCausland has claimed the Strictly Come Dancing Glitterball trophy after impressing viewers at home. Away from the dancefloor, the comedian is happily married to ‘polar opposite’ wife Patricia

    Chris McCausland has been crowned winner of Strictly Come Dancing 2024 alongside professional dance partner Dianne Buswell.

    The blind comedian, 47 burst into tears as they were declared this year’s winners following a nail-biting final of the BBC competition. Their fellow finalists – Sarah Hadland and Vito Coppola, JB Gill and Lauren Oakley, and Tasha Ghouri and Aljaž Škorjanec – rallied around them as a shocked Chris hugged Dianne tightly.

    He will no doubt be continuing the celebrations away from the dancefloor with his family: his Brazilian wife Patricia and their 11-year-old daughter. The couple met in 2005 when CBeebies Me Too! star Chris was performing at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and Patricia was filming a documentary there.

    “We spent a lot of time together when the camera wasn’t running, socialising, going out and doing things, and we just had a lot of fun,” he previously explained. The star said his wife was “full of energy” and “took me out of my comfort zone”, while he made her laugh and was “almost this calming presence in her life that she was attracted to”.

    But Chris affectionately says his wife Patricia, who is from Brazil, brings “chaos” into their relationship. “We were very opposite,” he told Gyles Brandreth on his podcast Rosebud.

    “She comes across as very British but she’s Brazilian, she came across when she was five or six. Her life is chaos in the way that Brazilian people are chaos. It’s a natural attribute of their being that they are very proud of – they bring chaos to any room.

    “The number of times she’ll be talking in Portuguese to her mum and then I’ll say to her: ‘Are you okay? What happened there?’ It sounds like they had the most horrific argument and they’re just talking about what they’re going to do that day.”

    He has been married to Patricia for 12 years with an 11-year-old daughter called Sophie. The rarely seen youngster made an appearance on Comedians: Home Alone back in 2020, which showed her sitting with her dad at a kitchen table. Sophie is laughing at something Chris says, with the star looking relaxed in a blue t-shirt.

    But the possibility of becoming a parent “terrified” him. “I was in such a dilemma about it because I knew I would regret not having kids but the thought of having kids terrified me,” he told Gyles Brandreth in an interview. “The idea of being a parent and all of the things I was going to be unable to do properly.

    “My dad, all the things he used to do with me as a kid, taking me to different places, and the time he put in helping me build things. You go “how am I going to be able to do those things – I’m not going to be a proper dad, I’m going to be a half dad’.”

    Back to Chris and Patricia, the star revealed they have very different ideas when it comes to heating their home. “As you can imagine, we are very different in terms of our culture and our biological response to temperature,” he joked. “While my wife still needs a winter coat in 22-degree sunshine, I find it hard to cope in temperatures above about 26.

    “I believe there’s a high likelihood that one of us might be discovered lifeless in the hallway one day, reaching out towards the thermostat, while the other has fled the country.”

    Ruth Langsford’s mum badly injured in fall and rushed to hospital

    Loose Women star Ruth Langsford has received support from fans after she took to social media to share news that her mother has been hospitalised after falling over

    Ruth Langsford has revealed that her beloved mother, Joan, has been rushed to hospital after suffering a fall.

    The Loose Women star, 64, is now facing a different Christmas ahead as her mother has fractured her pelvis following a nasty fall. Joan has been rushed to hospital for treatment – with Ruth expressing her thanks that no surgery was required.

    Sharing details of her family emergency via social media, Ruth uploaded a video clip of her mum happily chopping some vegetables in the kitchen. She wrote alongside the clip; “No dancing in my kitchen peeling the veg for my darling Mum this Christmas….

    “She’s had a fall and fractured her pelvis! She’s ok…ish, no surgery required thank goodness but she needs rest and time to heal now. She’s in hospital at the moment but I’m hoping to get her home soon.”

    “This time last year she fell and broke her hip but recovered well…she’s a very strong woman so I’m sure she’ll recover from this too. Put’s life and what’s important into perspective eh? Happy Christmas!”

    Fans, followers and celebrity friends were quick to rally around Ruth to share support. Lizzie Cundy was among the first to express her support, writing: “Sending you so much love . Hoping Mum will be back dancing very soon .Sending huge hugs my darling.”

    While a fan typed: “Oh Ruth so sorry to hear this and really hope you get her back and dancing along to Anton in your kitchen again soon. Much love.” And another wrote: “Bless her heart xxx I’m sure you’ll be looking after her well. Wishing her a speedy recovery X Sending you a big cuddle too.”

    Ruth’s unfortunate news comes amid reports that her estranged husband, Eamonn Holmes, may have become engaged to his much younger girlfriend. The 65-year-old GB News host quickly moved on from Ruth after their 14-year marriage collapsed earlier this year to begin dating relationship therapist Katie Alexander, 43.

    Eamonn and Katie sparked speculation they could be preparing to swap vows after she was spotted with a huge ring on her finger in Paris. A source told The Sun: “Eamonn has been talking openly about his plans to marry Katie and has made it clear he wants to spend the rest of his life with her. They’re already living together and he knows it feels right. They have a very strong connection and get on very well. She has given him a real lust for life and she looks after him.”

    Eamonn and Katie began dating soon after he and Ruth announced their marriage was over in May this year – and the veteran TV host is said to be very happy with his new dating life. A source told the Daily Mail: “Katie certainly seems to be able to put a smile back on Eamonn’s face. They seem genuinely besotted with each other.”

  • Prince Andrew has the perfect reason to avoid Sandringham this Christmas – but won’t for one simple reason

    Prince Andrew has the perfect reason to avoid Sandringham this Christmas – but won’t for one simple reason

    King Charles is set to open the doors of Sandringham house for another year, continuing a tradition that has seen the Royal family spend Christmas at the Norfolk home for over 160 years. The festive gathering is no small affair, with the wider family, including Prince Andrew, his ex-wife Sarah Ferguson and their daughters Beatrice and Eugenie, usually in attendance.

    However, this Christmas day, Andrew has the ‘perfect excuse’ not to attend, according to former BBC Royal correspondent Jennie Bond. With both Eugenie and Beatrice now”As families expand, life gets more complicated. And the Yorks now have two sons-in-law and four grandchildren to consider. So it is beginning to become untenable to have the whole extended royal family under one roof at Sandringham…especially with Camilla’s family to consider as well,” she explained.

    Eugenie is mum to two sons, August and Ernest, with her husband Jack Brooksbank, whom she wed in 2018. Meanwhile, Beatrice and her husband Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi are expecting their second child together. They already share a daughter, Sienna, born in 2021, and Edoardo has an eight year old son, Christopher Woolf, from a previous relationship.

    Jennie confirmed that Andrew will definitely receive an invite, as usual. She said: “However, it seems that Andrew remains keen on the traditional royal Christmas and, even after all the controversy over Royal Lodge, he and Sarah will almost certainly be invited to share the King and Queen’s celebrations. They don’t, however, usually stay in the main house but at Wood Farm nearby, where they can do their own family thing if they want. Charles is not a vindictive man…far from it…and whatever has gone on between the brothers, I think he will always extend an invitation for Andrew and his family to share big family occasions.”

    Jennie also speculated that things would be easier if Andrew and Sarah do their own celebrations. “But Andrew’s own growing family will give him and Sarah the perfect reason to avoid Sandringham and surround themselves with their daughters and little one. Beatrice and Eugenie are very protective of both their parents”.

  • Meghan Markle shot down former ESPN host with ‘ice cold’ reply after he slid into her DMs

    Meghan Markle shot down former ESPN host with ‘ice cold’ reply after he slid into her DMs

    Long before Meghan Markle fell in love with Prince Harry and became the Duchess of Sussex we know today, one former ESPN host has revealed he had hoped to find romance with the star, but things didn’t quite go to plan. Former ESPN host Ryen Russillo once slid into Meghan’s DM’s after running into each other while playing a game of celebrity flag football, but despite his high hopes, Russillo, now 49, revealed that Meghan wasn’t nearly as thrilled about the prospect during Super Bowl weekend 2014, reports UsWeekly.

    Recalling their meeting on The Bill Simmons podcast, Ryen revealed: “We played in a celebrity flag football game together and it was all of the [ Sports Illustrated ] swimsuit models. So, nobody was really paying any attention to Markle.”

    The game featured a host of former NFL stars and famous faces including The Vampire Diaries actress Nina Dobrev, Black Panther star Michael B Jordan, and Sports Illustrated models like Chrissy Teigen, Nina Agdal and Hannah Davis, meaning Meghan was in some impressive company for the fun-filled match.

    “I was like, ‘That’s my lane. She’s probably doubting herself a little bit right now,’” Russillo remembered. “She’s never been more obtainable.”

    The game took place just before Suits season 4 premiered, and was around two years before Meghan first started dating her future husband Prince Harry. Following the conclusion of the game however, Russillo decided to shoot his shot and send the future-Duchess a cheeky DM.

    “It was a very soft sell,” Russillo explained. “It was, ‘Hey, I know the new season of Suits is coming out if you ever want to come on the show to promote it.’ It was really professional.”

    Despite the professional sell however, he did admit he had an ulterior motive at play adding: “It was like a gauging of interest,” he said. “Like, if I got an emoji back, who knows?”

    Not long after sending the DM, Meghan did respond to the invitation, but it wasn’t quite the warm reception Russillo might have hoped for. “It was ice cold,” Russillo recalled. DM. “It was, ‘Oh, I don’t know anything about sports, but thanks for the offer.’”

    Although no budding romance ensued from the celebrity flag football game, Meghan did however walk away with a lifelong friendship, as it was the very same match that saw her meet and befriend her new BFF Serena Williams.

    The event was where Meghan first met Serena Williams“When Serena Williams barrelled in my direction this past February at an event, nails done, hair done, everything did, I’ll be honest and say I looked behind me to see who she was running to. It was Serena Williams, after all,” Markle wrote on her blog The Tig in August 2014.

    Markle continued: “We hit it off immediately, taking pictures, laughing through the flag football game we were both playing in, and chatting not about tennis or acting, but about all the good old fashioned girly stuff. So began our friendship. She quickly became a confidante I would text when I was traveling, the friend I would rally around for her tennis matches, and the down to earth chick I was able to grab lunch with just a couple weeks ago in Toronto.”

  • Royal fans spot sweet Prince Louis detail that everyone missed at Christmas carol service

    Royal fans spot sweet Prince Louis detail that everyone missed at Christmas carol service

    Whenever Prince Louis attends royal events with his parents Prince William and Princess Kate, he always steals the show.

    A firm favorite amongst royal fans, the adorable six-year-old recently stepped out with his siblings Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, nine, to attend the Christmas carol service that Kate puts on each year at Westminster Abbey.

    Royal watchers are always delighted when the three Wales children accompany their parents to official engagements – and it doesn’t happen that often, because the future King and Queen work hard to ensure that their three youngsters get to enjoy as normal a childhood as possible.

    When Louis appeared at the carol service it also marked a break with somewhat of a royal tradition – and this isn’t the first time Louis has been spotted doing this. Generally speaking, when male royal children are young they are rarely seen in long trousers, instead opting for shorts that are deemed more age-appropriate – however for the second year in a row, Louis wore full-length trousers to the festive event.

    Louis looked adorable in a full suit – something he hasn’t worn before at an official engagement – and he was perfectly coordinated with big brother George and dad William, with all three sporting bright red ties that were in the same shade as Kate’s festive coat.

    As reported in Hello magazine, before the age of seven it’s quite unusual to see a royal child in a full suit, with George donning one for the first time at that age, when he attended the Euro 2020 final in London, so Louis has been allowed to do so a whole year earlier than his big brother.

    A protocol expert and etiquette coach – William Hanson – has previously explained to Hello why the royals err towards short when it comes to dressing their children: “Today, young boys usually transition into trousers around age seven. Prince George is always seen in shorts because upper-class and upper-middle-class parents believe that little boys should look like little boys, and so try to keep their offspring looking as cute and innocent for as long as possible.”

    The expert continued:”It’s one of the many silent class indicators we have in Britain. Trousers on young boys is considered a tad suburban and lower market.”

    In 2023, Louis did sport a pair of full-length trousers for the Christmas carol service, but instead of a full suit, he wore a cosy double-breasted coat and a checked shirt beneath, showing that Prince William and Princess Kate may have been transitioning him slowly toward a full smart suit.

    Given the cold weather at this time of year, it’s no surprise that the couple were happy to let Louis wear long trousers – whatever established etiquette amongst the upper classes is. Kate and William are said to be hands-on parents, who put their responsibilities towards their children above all else – so breaking with this tradition to ensure their youngest son is nice and warm is a clear indicator of their priorities.

  • Prince Harry and Meghan Markle rushed engagement for one crucial reason, claims royal author

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle rushed engagement for one crucial reason, claims royal author

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had only been dating for one year when they got engaged and this was because of a crucial reason, a royal author has claimed.

    The couple’s love story began with a blind date in 2016. The following year, they announced their engagement and then they got married in a star-studded ceremony at Windsor Castle in May 2018.

    It is claimed that Harry’s brother, Prince William, who dated Catherine for eight years before proposing, was “nervous” about how quickly the couple were moving at the beginning of their relationship as he worried that Meghan would struggle to adapt to royal life in such a short time. However, Harry brushed off his brother’s concerns, claiming he had to marry Meghan quickly as her “biological clock was ticking” since she was almost 35 years old, according to royal author Tina Brown.

    She wrote in her book “The Palace Papers: Inside the House of Windsor” that William was worried Harry “was heading for trouble” due to the fact Meghan had to change her whole life, give up acting, and move from the US to the UK, where she didn’t know many people. Ms Brown, who previously edited Tatler and The New Yorker, claimed William was also worried that Meghan was not prepared for the “scorching scrutiny and harassment” that comes with being a member of the Royal Family.

    But according to the book, Harry’s response to William’s concerns was that he would need to marry Meghan “as quickly as possible” so that she could receive the same police protection that he did while he was still a working royal. And it has also been claimed that Harry said that Meghan’s biological clock was ticking since she was a month from turning 35, the Daily Mail reported.

    In 2022, a similar claim was also made by royal author Tom Bower, who wrote in his book that after her first date with Harry, Meghan told a friend her biological clock was ticking and she wanted children. The couple, who moved to the US in 2020 after stepping down as senior royals, are now parents to Prince Archie, five, and Princess Lilibet, three.

    Back in 2017, Harry admitted “the stars were aligned” as he opened up on his relationship with Meghan. He told BBC presenter Mishal Husain during their first joint TV interview: “The fact that I fell in love with Meghan so incredibly quickly was confirmation to me that all the stars were aligned, everything was just perfect. This beautiful woman just tripped and fell into my life, I fell into her life.”

    Speaking about the moment Harry got down on one knee, Meghan said: “Just a cosy night, it was – what we were doing just roasting chicken and having …” Interrupting Meghan, Harry said: “Roasting a chicken, trying to roast a chicken.”

    Meghan continued: “Trying to roast a chicken and it just – just an amazing surprise, it was so sweet and natural and very romantic. He got on one knee.” The former actress admitted she “barely” let her now-husband finish proposing before she said: “Can I say yes now?”

    Harry added: “She didn’t even let me finish, she said can I say yes, can I say yes and then were was hugs and I had the ring in my finger and I was like can I – can I give you the ring? She goes – oh yes the ring. So no it was – it was a really nice moment, it was just the two of us and I think managed to catch – catch her by surprise as well.”

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are No Longer ‘Openly Passionate’ After Years of PDA

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry once packed on the PDA at events, but the duo is beginning to take a more reserved approach to showcasing their love, according to a body language expert, who noticed the shift in their demeanor.

    “Harry and Meghan’s relationship has evolved,” Darren Stanton said in an interview. “When looking at their body language, their public displays of affection have changed drastically over the years.”

    After a series of failures in Hollywood, the Sussexes began to keep a low profile, but they’ve continued their charity work for their company, Archewell.

    “When they started dating and became more established as an official couple, they were very affectionate in public, almost more affectionate than William and Kate,” Stanton noted.

    The couple’s mannerisms were often compared to Prince William and Kate Middleton who rarely dote on each other at royal gatherings.

    “When they started dating and became more established as an official couple, they were very affectionate in public, almost more affectionate than William and Kate,” the hypnotist noted. “I feel that they have toned it down a bit in recent times. I have seen their engaged eye contact has decreased and they aren’t as tactile with one another.”

    “While they do love each other and they will do anything to support one another, we tend not to see them being as openly passionate,” he continued.

    OK! previously reported the Sussexes hosted the Archewell Foundation’s first in-person gathering on World Mental Health Day, and the Duchess of Sussex guided her spouse through the social setting.

    “At the event in New York his entire pose and physicality made him look uncomfortable,” Judi James explained in an interview. “He sat in an awkward position and he didn’t ‘take control’ of his seat, which means adopting a pose that retains a sense of dignity and elegance whatever chair you’ve been given.”

    “When he spoke he also rubbed his hand along his thigh, up and down, several times,” James stated. “The odd self-comfort gesture can be understandably subconscious but this was repeated to a point that he must have been aware what he was doing.”

    Along with their time in Manhattan, the spouses were spotted at a charity event for Kevin Costner last fall.

    “His hand gestures here at the Costner gig are also ‘different’ for Harry,” James explained. “Most of them, like clapping hands together and that high, almost pleading hand clasp are the sort of gestures that tend to say one thing: ‘Please listen to me.’”

    “They suggest a desire to be listened to when someone speaks and a desire to get and hold the attention and respect of the listener,” James continued.

    Although Stanton viewed the Sussexes as more relaxed in each other’s company, James saw Meghan insert herself into Harry’s conversations.

    “It’s interesting here then, that Harry ends up being interrupted by his wife,” James continued. “Not only does he seem to be fighting for the guy’s attention he also seems to be losing the battle to Meghan, too. She appears to take over with a smile and social ease that Harry might be lacking.”

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry shockingly left the monarchy back in 2020, but videos of their time in the firm foreshadowed their infamous Megxit scandal.

    Body language expert Darren Stanton noticed the Duke of Sussex was particularly focused on Meghan’s well-being during royal engagements in old footage.

    “There is a notable distinction in his non-verbal communication when Harry is on his own compared to when he is with Meghan. He almost feels like he needs to be on duty when he is with Meghan, he seems a little bit more aware of his surroundings, like he has to present a certain brand,” the professional told an outlet.

    “His body language isn’t as open and he’ll often be more reserved,” Stanton added.

    Stanton further claimed that the royal appeared more sure of himself when attending gatherings alone, likely because he wasn’t fixated on Meghan’s safety.

    “When he is on own, Harry has a sense of openness that we rarely see otherwise, he is very authentic in his emotions and his confidence increases as he doesn’t need to take on a protective role,” he explained.

    “Once they moved to the States and stepped down, they weren’t restrained anymore,” the psychologist explained. “We saw an increase in public displays of affection. Meghan began wearing different outfits and colors whereas before she was restricted. Previously she wore muted tones, whereas now we see her wearing more confident shades, suggesting she is not afraid to stand out.”

    Sussex Power Shift? Meghan Markle No Longer ‘Wearing the Pants’ in Prince Harry’s ‘Boring’ Polo Series

    prince harry

    For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, a fresh perspective has emerged suggesting a shift in their relationship dynamics.

    Darren Stanton, a renowned body language expert often dubbed the “Human Lie Detector,” has analyzed the couple’s brief appearance in their latest Netflix docuseries POLO. His observations indicate that Harry now appears as the “more dominant one” in their interactions.

    prince harry

    Stanton’s expertise stems from his background in psychology and his tenure as a police officer, where he honed his skills in detecting deception. Transitioning to media consultancy, he has scrutinized numerous public figures, including members of the royal family. In POLO, Stanton notes a discernible change, “It’s important for Harry to be seen as the one who is more dominant and powerful. Meghan has previously been seen to wear the trousers in their relationship, which has affected his reputation.”

    He further elaborates, “If we take a closer look at some of the posture and actions we see, Harry is taking the lead.”

    This analysis contrasts with earlier perceptions of their relationship, where Meghan was often viewed as the guiding force. Their public displays of affection, such as in Colombia in August, and Meghan’s assertive presence had led many to believe she was the primary decision-maker. Stanton’s insights suggest a rebalancing, with Harry stepping into a more assertive role.

    POLO, which premiered on Netflix, offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the world of polo, featuring elite players competing in the U.S. Open Polo Championship.

    Despite the anticipation surrounding the series, it has faced criticism for its lack of engaging content. The Telegraph described it as a “tedious inside look” at the sport, awarding it two stars and commenting, “There’s lots of blood, sweat, and tears in the series — but not enough of the Sussexes to make this anything other than a dull indulgence about a rich person’s hobby.”

    The Sussexes’ limited screen time in the series has also been a point of contention. The rebel Duke appears briefly in the opening credits of the first episode and re-emerges only in the fifth and final episode, where Meghan makes a fleeting appearance. This minimal involvement has left fans yearning for more insights into their lives and perspectives.

    As OK! previously reported, the couple’s biggest and thus far only hit with documentary production came with their 2022 Netflix series Harry & Meghan, which delved into their personal experiences and challenges within the royal family. While that series garnered significant attention, POLO seems to have missed the mark in captivating audiences.

    As the couple continues to navigate their public and private lives, the evolution of their partnership continues to remain a focal point of public interest.
