Ruth Langsford hosted Loose Women for the first time since pictures emerged of her ex-husband Eamonn Holmes jetting off on holiday with new girlfriend Katie Alexander. Fans feared it looked like the ITV star had been crying as she returned to her TV duties after the bombshell

Ruth Langsford’s appearance on Loose Women concerned viewers as she returned to ITV for the first time since Eamonn Holmes was spotted on holiday with his new lover.

GB News host Eamonn, 64, and new girlfriend Katie Alexander, 42, have been pictured heading on a luxury cruise together over the weekend. The new couple were seen at Barcelona port getting ready to embark on a trip together.

Ruth took to Instagram on Monday to reveal that she was back on ITV presenting Loose Women and issued a heartbreaking show of support to her ex-husband. The mum-of-one was seen wearing her wedding ring as she videoed herself before going into a meeting for Loose Women.

ITV viewers took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to share their support to Ruth with some fans concerned over the presenter’s appearance on the show. One tweeted: “Cannot be easy for Ruth when Eamonn features in most newspapers.”

Another said: “You can tell that Ruth has been hurting from the pictures of Eamonn with her younger blondie, Ruth looks like she has been crying as her eyes looks puffed up,” before adding: “I can’t wait to see Ruth’s new boyfriend #loosewomen.”

“How Gorgeous did @RuthieeL look on the trailer on this morning. Adorable,” someone else shared while a fourth asked: “#Loosewomen How are you doing today Ruth,” alongside a blowing kiss gif.

In pictures from the weekend, Eamonn was seen on a mobility scooter while his new girlfriend Katie walked beside him as they embarked on a cruise. On Monday’s Loose Women guest Shayne Ward risked an awkward moment during a chat about his Channel 5 show The Good Ship Murder – which is set on a cruise ship.

Shayne asked the studio audience: “Who loves being on a cruise?” As Ruth looked on before wrapping up the interview. Despite Eamonn’s romantic trip away with his new girlfriend, Ruth has continued to wear the her wedding ring in a shocking show of support to her ex-husband.

Loose Women host Ruth, who split from Eamonn earlier this year, has been spotted wearing her wedding ring on several occasions since they announced their divorce – and was still wearing it on Monday. The former couple met in 1997 when they were introduced by a mutual friend two years after he split from his wife Gabrielle, with whom he has three children.

Eamonn and Ruth welcomed their son Jack in 2002 and dated for over a decade before they tied the knot in 2010. The TV couple are due to begin divorce proceedings later this year after being married for 14 years. Eamonn and his new girlfriend Katie are said to be hoping to “prove a point” with their relationship as they confirmed their romance by going away together.

A source said: “Katie is very excited about the prospect of a trip away with Eamonn. He works hard at GB News and with his rehab so she is looking forward to them having some time on their own relaxing away from everything. But it was also be a clear sign to everyone that they are serious about their growing relationship.” The Mirror revealed in January that Katie had told friends she was in for “the long haul”.

Sharing a snap of herself, sporting clothes from her QVC range, she added the tag: “All my own work”. Holding her phone for the glamorous selfie, Ruth looks gorgeous, sporting cropped navy utility trousers, white trainers and a bright green jacket with her highlighted hair coiffed to perfection.

There’s no suggestion of any overlap between Eamonn’s relationships with Ruth and Katie although it has been reported the former This Morning stars’ marriage came to an end after Ruth was “devastated” to find messages from another woman on Eamonn’s laptop.

In a recent Instagram post, the Loose Women star showed she was still keeping tabs on her ex as she uploaded a photo of her brunch, alongside a stack of newspapers. One of the front pages featured a story about Eamonn and his new romance on the cover, with the headline reading: “I feel for TV Ruth.”

Annabel Giles passed away last year, and a court decided to leave her estate to her two children in the absence of a will from the TV star

Annabel Giles, who died on November 20 last year at the age of 64, has left an astonishing amount of money to her two children, despite not writing a will.

The former I’m a Celebrity star was diagnosed with stage four Glioblastoma in July 2023, a fast-growing and malignant brain tumour, and underwent “countless radiotherapies” as well as brain surgery. Unfortunately, Annabel passed, survived by her daughter and son.

Annabel’s daughter, Molly, was born in March 1987. The actress shared Molly with her ex-husband – Ultravox lead singer Midge Ure – to whom she was married from 1985 and 1989. Alongside Molly, Annabel had a younger son, Ted, who was born in 1998, and whose father wasn’t publicly revealed by Annabel.

Following Annabel’s death, Molly and Ted received more than £400,000 from the mum’s estate, according to The Sun. Decided in court, documents revealed Annabel’s estate at the time of her death was worth £769,000. After deductions, the remaining funds – an enormous £430,320 – went to her kids.

Annabel reportedly didn’t have a will or a declaration of intent, but on Monday the High Court judged that the money should go to her children. Molly and Ted expressed their love for their mum after her death, explaining how she passed and sharing an emotional tribute to the public figure.

Their joint statement read: “It is with heavy hearts that we inform you of the death of our incredible mother, Annabel Giles, who passed away peacefully yesterday afternoon at Martlets Hospice in Hove. In July, Mum was diagnosed with a stage 4 Glioblastoma, a fast-growing and highly aggressive malignant brain tumour.

“In the four months that followed, she displayed remarkable resilience and strength, despite undergoing brain surgery and countless radiotherapies. In her final weeks, she was passionate about raising awareness for Glioblastoma, embodying her lifelong commitment to helping others.”

After sharing that Annabel died peacefully, her two children then wrote a heartbreaking description of the TV star. “Mum was truly one of a kind, an enigma to those privileged to share her life,” they wrote, adding, “True to her nature, she kept spirits high and maintained her quick wit until the very end. Her humour and laughter will leave us inspired to live life to the fullest, just as she always did.”

In their final comments, Molly and Ted asked for loved ones and fans to consider donating to Martlets Hospice, where Annabel spent her final days. “We thank you for your love and support and kindly request that you respect our privacy at this challenging time. In lieu of flowers or other gifts, we would be grateful for donations to Martlets Hospice, whose exceptional care was a great source of comfort throughout this journey. With heartfelt thanks, Molly & Ted x.”

Phillip Schofield is back on TV in new Channel 5 series and he couldn’t resist a cheeky dig at former best pal Holly Willoughby

Phillip Schofield puts the boot into former best friend Holly Willoughby by mocking her famous This Morning ‘OK’ intro after he left.

Holly asked viewers ‘Firstly, are you OK?’ In the light of Schofield’s decision to quit the daytime show. On his new Channel 5 programme Schofield makes it clear there is no love lost between the pair these days. Sitting down for BBQ with his wife and two daughters with a glint in his eye, Schofield says: “If you’re okay, then we’re okay and I’m okay. Are you okay?”

It’s a clear sign of him mocking someone who was seen as his on-screen wife for many years, but who he is no longer friends with. And it is not the only time in the opening episode he appears to put the boot into his old employers and possibly other hosts like Holly. Biting on a piece of fruit he says: “It’s going through an angry bitter stage…like some television presenters haha.”

Schofield described leaving ITV as the “biggest grenade going off in your life”. The decision came after it emerged he had been lying for several years about an affair with a younger male staff member on This Morning. He described it as “unwise but not illegal” and quit in May 2023. He left saying “This Morning itself has become the story” before quitting ITV all together a week later.

Schofield is full of praise for his daughters Ruby and Molly who he says are the reason he is still here having had suicidal thoughts. Even after his affair he also remains close to his wife Stephanie and he continues to wear his wedding ring when he heads off to the tropical island off the coast of Madagascar for Phillip Schofield: Cast Away.

Daughter Molly says everything that has happened has brought the family “closer”. She added: “We’ve seen him at his lowest times, but I’ve been so proud of him, and as a daughter to see the love that people had for him that when it’s taken away it’s just heartbreaking.”

She adds: “I never thought it would have gone the way it has but to have my parents still best friends…Im the luckiest person ever” Schofield, who is still wearing his wedding ring on the show, says: “Some families can adapt, some families can’t. Without them I wouldn’t be here. I still have the love of my family. Never wavered.”

Viewers will also hear from Schofield’s wife Stephanie who has seemingly stayed friends with him throughout everything. Stephanie said: “What people don’t realise if that they batter you but then there are other people affected.” She adds: “There’s no question by doing this you’re popping your head back up above the parapet for the very few horrid people that there are out there.”

The first episode begins with Schofield being asked why he wants to take on the challenge of being stuck on a deserted island alone, having to gather his own food, to which he responds: “I think there’d be an awful lot of people that hope I never come back.” He added that This Morning was a “joy” and a “privilege”, and he understands how he has been “lucky” during his more than four decades of TV career, until it came to an end in 2023.

“When it came to a sudden very abrupt end, you know one minute you’re there and then the next minute you’re gone, you know what it feels like to be cancelled,” he also said. “It’s like the biggest grenade going off in your life, and you know you let people down, you’ve let yourself down, and it was unwise and (an) unprofessional thing to do, I will be forever sorry, I screwed up, I made a mistake, and I hurt the people around me.”

Eamonn Holmes couldn’t resist a dig at former This Morning co-stars Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby as he commented on the latest Strictly scandal with Katya Jones and Wynne Evans

Eamonn Holmes took the chance to slate Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield once more amid the latest Strictly Come Dancing scandal.

At the weekend, Welsh opera singer Wynne Evans was caught moving his hand further around dance partner Katya Jones’ waist before she quickly stopped the advance. The scenes disturbed viewers at home, but have since been cleared up by the pairing as a “very silly inside joke”.

However, Eamonn, 64, used the situation to continue his war of words with former co-presenter on This Morning Phillip Schofield. During Monday morning’s GB News, the veteran Northern Irish presenter was speaking with co-host Isabel Webster. The duo were discussing Wynne and Katya’s controversial moments when Eamonn took aim at Phillip and Holly, as well as the BBC.

While discussing Katya’s apology video, which some followers called “inappropriate”, Eamonn said: “[Katya’s] showing she’s in control. The BBC is out of control of course. Anything at all that happens, they will interrupt and apologise because they listen too much to what people have to say at home, which you should just ignore.

“However, having said that all the talk with contestants and dancers is that is a hot house of passion in there and always has been. And when you look at how intimate you would actually get, touching, feeling and whatever else you do. The Strictly curse definitely is a thing. So it ain’t going to go away.’

He went on to point at co-host Isabel and claim they made sure their relationship was not intimate, before claiming most breakfast presenters “hate” each other.

Eamonn added: “You take the comparison of being closer to a partner, in my case having a TV wife here [Isabel]. That’s why we strictly apply a sort of turgid relationship and have nothing intimate or nice between us.

“When you look at all those breakfast presenters and you can go through and say he hates her, she hates him, and they do. And I used to say it about Phil and Holly but nobody would believe me. False, false, false.”

The latest comments come as those close to Phillip lifted the lid on the star’s bitter feud with Eamonn. An insider told the Mirror last week Eamonn’s animosity is because he is “consumed with jealousy that Friday rated poorly compared to the rest of the week.” Schofield’s friend went on to say this was the main reason why he was let go by the ITV show, in 2021. “It was simply down to ratings,” the friend claimed.

The source added Eamonn was also upset that Schofield hadn’t been in touch after he was let go by ITV. They said: “The truth is that Phillip wishes he did message him but bigger things were happening in his life and stroking his ego wasn’t one of them.”

Zoe Ball has taken to social media to share her pain and also highlight her relief after being diagnosed with a painful health condition that has been causing her symptoms

Zoe Ball has candidly opened up about her battle with a health issue that’s been causing her ‘awful’ symptoms, just as she announces her departure from her early morning BBC breakfast show.

The beloved presenter and mum-of-two, 54, took to Instagram, where she boasts 738k followers, to share her struggles with pain due to a condition known as TMJ. Zoe shared: “I have TMJ and wake most days with awful headaches from tension and jaw clenching. So grateful to Helen @sculptresslondon for her magic. This is my face after I’ve seen her, check out my face before – yikes – picture 2.”

She went on to say: “Can’t recommend her enough. She also has the greatest playlists. Thank you H and to @just._.tiff for the intro.” Zoe expressed her gratitude with praying hands and a red heart emoji.

Her revelation struck a chord with many fans, with one commenting: “God, I need this.” Another shared their own experience, noting additional symptoms: “Along with acid reflux and the headaches. Wondering if anyone else has TMJ and acid reflux, the two can be linked.”

Zoe also mentioned: “Also having microsuction on the old ears at the weekend (in the good old days ear syringing was free on the NHS, now they won’t do – so £60 to have wax removed)This can also be common with those who have TMJ. Just interested to know if others have these conditions.”

Zoe was quick to respond to her thoughtful follower, expressing her intrigue and saying: “That’s fascinating. I don’t have reflux but do have earache. I’ll check out the microsuction, thanks.”

Famous friends of hers also chimed in with their thoughts, with Julia Bradbury commenting: “So magical to find people like this in our lives” and Stacey Dooley adding a warm: “Stunz.”

While Zoe has disclosed her treatment, it is known that Botox can aid in easing tension around the face and jaw and can prevent natural clenching. According to the NHS, Temporomandibular disorder is a condition “affecting the movement of the jaw. It’s not usually serious and generally gets better on its own.” It can result in pain around your ear, jaw and temple, and eating softer foods is advised. Stress can also worsen the condition.

Recently, Zoe announced her exit from her demanding role as host of the BBC Radio 2 breakfast show after six years, stating that it’s time to bid farewell to early morning alarms and devote more time to her family.

In an emotional moment during her Tuesday (19 November) morning show, Zoe shared: “Ok you lovely bunch, I have some news. After six years of fun times alongside you all on the Breakfast Show, I’ve decided it’s time to step away from the early alarm call and focus on family.”

“You know I think the world of you all listeners, and it truly has been such a privilege to share the mornings with you, to go through life’s little ups and downs, we got through the lockdown together, didn’t we? We’ve shared a hell of a lot, the good times, the tough times, there’s been a lot of laughter. And I am going to miss you cats. I’m going to miss my amazing Prod Squad who I adore. Already missing Mike, I’m going to miss Tina and Richie. They’ve all become like family to me, like you lot. But I won’t miss the 4am alarm call, if I’m completely honest.”

The news arrives on the back of a challenging year for the broadcaster who took a break from her programme this summer following the death of her mother Julie Peckham, who was diagnosed with advanced pancreatic cancer at the start of the year.

Strictly Come Dancing’s Pete Wicks appeared on Monday’s It Takes Two with pro partner Jowita Przystal, where they spoke about making the quarter finals

Strictly Come Dancing’s Pete Wicks made a heartbreaking admission on Monday’s It Takes Two.

During the latest episode, Pete, 36, appeared on the show alongside professional partner Jowita Przystal as they spoke about making the quarter finals.

Chatting to the duo, host Fleur East pointed out that the judges’ feedback was ‘largely positive’ over the weekend but they appeared ‘clearly disappointed’ with their score of 29.

To which Pete responded: “Listen, I mean it’s obvious enough, I’ve said it a million times I think people are probably sick of me saying it. I’m obviously technically the weakest dancer here, that’s completely and utterly fair. It would be nice to get over 30 occasionally and not be at the bottom but I think it’s fairly understandable why I am!” to which he pulled a sad face.

Elsewhere on the show, Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas appeared in their first exit interview after their sad elimination on Sunday night.

During the results show over the weekend, EastEnders actor Jamie, 30, and professional dancer Michelle, 29, found themselves in the dreaded dance-off against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe, where the latter duo were unanimously saved by the judges.

On Monday night, Jamie and Michelle appeared in their first exit interview on It Takes Two with host Fleur East. During the chat, professional dancer Michelle pointed out a show first for her following their departure.

Host Fleur, 37, said: “It was the first time though that you faced the dreaded dance-off and your face said it all… talk us through the thoughts running through your mind at this moment.”

To which Jamie admitted: “Oh well it’s part of the Strictly experience, being top of the leaderboard, bottom of the leaderboard, dance-off, it was like we get to dance it again, let’s go!”

With Michelle pointing out: “I’ve never been in a dance-off either so for me it was an experience as well that I wanted to go through. We did it, we enjoyed it, we’ve got the whole package now!”

Elsewhere on the show, Jamie Borthwick and Michelle Tsiakkas appeared in their first exit interview
Later in the show, host Fleur addressed viewers claiming that the duo were undermarked during their time on the competition. Fleur said: “Despite the nine from Anton [Du Beke], viewers believe you were really undermarked not just on the weekend but during the whole competition, they had a lot to say.”

Fleur then read out some comments from viewers as she said one fan wrote “the judges are too harsh on Jamie that was genuinely amazing, I don’t know why that didn’t reflect in the scores” while a different viewer put “he has not been given fair markings compared to the others.”

To which both Jamie and Michelle pulled a face as the latter said: “You know what, I think when we peaked with our Paso [Doble], they were expecting technical perfection with each dance which I understand as the Paso was such a big moment.

“But it is difficult to achieve, especially with your busy schedule and everything. We did our best, you did your best and one thing I know, and I can say for sure, is that we genuinely and thoroughly enjoyed every single moment. Every single moment and that’s what it’s about. Even when the pressures were high and we were stressed, we still enjoyed it.”

Welsh wonder baker Georgie Brasso talks about how she won the Great British Bake Off final and where she has put the trophy at home

Welsh wonder Georgie Brasso triumphed in the Great British Bake Off final and admitted overcoming self doubt through the series to win. The Paediatric nurse, 34, from Carmarthenshire rose to the top up against Christaan De Vries and Dylan Bachelet in the final.

On screen, she said: “This is mad! I have won it, I can’t believe it. This is just incredible. I can’t believe that I have won The Great British Bake Off. It just means everything, I have always been so self doubtful. I have got this and that wrong with me and think I can’t do it, and you make excuses. For once I thought I am just going to go for it and put my everything into it. I am just so proud of myself because I have proved I can do it, and now I am here today the Winner!”

For the signature, the bakers had to wow the judges with their flavours and techniques by creating delicate scones. In their last technical challenge, Prue set the bar high, asking for a spread fit for a quintessential afternoon tea. And finally, for the showstopper, the three Baker finalists had to create a breathtaking, hanging tiered celebration cake suitable as the centerpiece for a summer garden party. Judge Prue Leith described her final bakes as “classic British baking beautifully done” whist Paul Hollywood added: “That’s a very special cake full of flavour and full of life. The Welsh Wonder, Georgie smashed it out of the park.”

In an interview after filming the final finished, Georgie admitted she wasn’t overconfident she could win after faltering midway through the final. She said: “I am the first Welsh winner on The Great British Bake Off! Oh my gosh being the first Welsh baker in the final was a massive achievement in itself. So to have won it is just the best feeling in the world. There were times in the series I thought I might be going home. The fact that I did it for Wales was amazing, and I had massive support throughout from Wales. I hope I have done them proud. “When I didn’t win the Technical I started to doubt myself and I texted home to say don’t get your hopes up but thankfully it all worked out well.

“When I heard I had won it felt so surreal and I couldn’t quite believe it. All my family were there watching me and it was a very emotional moment as Noel announced the win and handed me the trophy and flowers. My legs went to jelly and at the same time my daughter came to hug me, and of course it completely floored both of us, it was very funny and we were all laughing. So a lot of happy emotion was flying around.”

Poignantly she added: “My necklace with my stillborn daughter’s imprints of her hands and feet broke in Week 2, and I was heartbroken too. The production team managed to mend it and it was my good luck charm when I wore it at the Final.

“The production team look after you like royalty and you end up working very close with them.

“‘Overall what I learned from the show was to really be myself, I don’t need to pretend or mask who I am anymore. and to trust and believe in myself. ‘I have learned that I can do anything I set my mind to, and there are so many genuine people in the world who want the best for you – work hard and it will pay off.”

Looking back on her whole time on the show she said: “My worst time was week 2, I felt so overwhelmed and self doubtful. My daughter’s necklace broke and I told myself it was a sign that I should go home and wasn’t good enough. The best moment was when Paul said ‘yes Georgie’ to my lemon entremet, it was the best feeling ever. The other best moment was Prue saying one of my recipes should be the way everyone makes tiramisu.”

Georgie has had the trophy stored away since the Summer but it will now get pride of place in the kitchen.

She said: “The trophy is hidden under a dress in my bedroom to keep it away from the kids, but it will get centre stage in the kitchen so everyone can see it. The kitchen is a focal point of the house filled with shelves of pottery and we overlook the valley and the sea from my kitchen.

It’s a farmhouse with duck, chickens (including Fanny) and the two dogs, I am so lucky to have such a secluded idyllic lifestyle, it’s very peaceful and tranquil.

“I would like to thank my husband and the kids for putting up with me not being around so much, and my family who helped look after the kids. It was incredible to have such a good support system. My kids have loved watching it and I know they will be ecstatic when they see the Final.”

Georgie has previously spoken openly about struggling “for a very long time with ADHD, PTSD, post-natal depression over the years” and said winning hopefully sent out a positive message. She said: “I hope that anyone with mental health issues will see this show, and see you can conquer your fears, keep positive – set a goal and your dreams can come true. I definitely want to continue talking about mental health, I would love to bring out a cookbook to show that you can bake through your problems. This is one of the best things that has ever happened to me and I am enjoying every single happy moment of it.”

ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! viewers saw Loose Women star Jane Moore brand radio host Dean McCullough a ‘stalker’ following a tense trial on the reality show

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Jane Moore branded her fellow contestant Dean McCullough a “stalker” in an unexpected outburst.

The 62-year-old Loose Women star and the 32-year-old radio host endured a testy trail called the Fright Bus before returning to the camp with bags full of treats. First, the celebrities had to endure a horrifying challenge where they were sealed inside a bus and tasked with unlocking rewards while spiders, mealworms, cockroaches and more rained down upon them.

The celebrities looked on edge as they screamed through the challenge while being covered in insects and creepy crawlies. Upon leaving the bus, each star was rewarded with some luggage – which included a range of items from an apple and disposable camera to a sequin dress and chocolates.

McFly star Danny Jones arguably won the best reward as he had a guitar in the case that he was handed. The instrument was from his home and had messages and drawings scribbled on it by his young son. The chart-topping star gently strummed his strings and started to sing as the celebrities gathered around the campfire.

He broke into the 2010 Top 5 McFly single Shine A Light – and the rest of the camp joined in. Dean, who is a fan of the band, loudly sang along – leading Jane to surmise that he was losing his mind over being able to sing a McFly song with one of the talented members of the band.

Entering the Bush Telegraph, the talk show star said: “Dean who I think is a McFly superfan, stroke stalker is in his element.” And, indeed, Dean himself didn’t believe his luck. Wearing a glittering dress that he discovered in his own luggage, the radio star gasped: “Oh my god. I’ve lost my mind. Worth the gold dress.”

Later, Dean was relieved to discover he wasn’t nominated to take part in the next trial. He had been put forth by the public for almost every challenge that had been on offer in the week before. Instead, Jane and Love Island star Maura Higgins were tasked with retrieving stars from an obstacle course that was submerged in water.

Viewers began to question if Dean’s repeated trials had exposed a ‘calculated’ side to him. One viewer wrote on X while watching Maura endure a trial: “Difference between dean and Maura is you can actually see she is scared and shaking…dean just wanted airtime #ImACeleb.” And others are now hoping the radio star will be the first to be voted off the show. One wrote: “Can we all agree when the time comes that we’re voting Dean out first. Cannot stand the man, all for attention. #imacelebrity2024 #ImACeleb.”

Just seven couples remain on Strictly Come Dancing, with the couples set to perform their own routines as well as take part in the samba-thon

Anton du Beke broke down in tears as Tasha Ghouri bagged the first 40 of the series.

Tasha and Aljaž Škorjanec danced their American Smooth to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi, which earned high praise from the judges. The pair scored a perfect 40 out of 40, the first of the whole series so far.

Shirley said to Anton: “This is the first time I’ve seen you cry, and you were very emotional.” Anton then admitted: “It was beautiful. It just makes me go – this is why we dance. This is the point. People say why do you dance, and that’s why.

“We don’t dance for people to say we’re wonderful. We dance mostly for how it makes us feel. You’re extraordinary to watch. And Alijaz, I see you enjoying and I have the feeling myself when I dance … You want it go like that. Sometimes, it goes like that. This is what it’s all about. I watch you dance. I tried to find something I don’t like and I like it all.”

Tasha and Alijaz received a perfect 40 out of 40 for their routine. In the Claudiatorium, Tasha and Alijaz were visibly emotional as they celebrated their perfect score on the show before being rushed off to get ready for the Samba-thon.

This week, the celebrities also participated in a Samba-thon, taking the dancefloor together to perform their best Samba moves and earn extra votes from the judges.

Shirley said to Anton: “This is the first time I’ve seen you cry, and you were very emotional.” Anton then admitted: “It was beautiful. It just makes me go – this is why we dance. This is the point. People say why do you dance, and that’s why.

“We don’t dance for people to say we’re wonderful. We dance mostly for how it makes us feel. You’re extraordinary to watch. And Alijaz, I see you enjoying and I have the feeling myself when I dance … You want it go like that. Sometimes, it goes like that. This is what it’s all about. I watch you dance. I tried to find something I don’t like and I like it all.”

Alijaz and Tasha danced an American Smooth

Tasha and Alijaz received a perfect 40 out of 40 for their routine. In the Claudiatorium, Tasha and Alijaz were visibly emotional as they celebrated their perfect score on the show before being rushed off to get ready for the Samba-thon.

This week, the celebrities also participated in a Samba-thon, taking the dancefloor together to perform their best Samba moves and earn extra votes from the judges.

Anton got rather emotional

Comedian Chris spoke of how grateful he is for all the support from his fans and fellow comedians. Explaining what it means to have everyone’s support, he revealed: “I’ve had lots of lovely messages from people saying you’re doing really well and it’s nice that fellow comedians think that I’m coming across as myself, that means a lot.”

Gladiators star Montell added what the show means to her: “It’s brought out a side that’s been hidden for a long time. I’ve never been able to express it because I’ve never danced before. It’s more about discovering that side rather than creating a new one. It’s like I’m nurturing a side that was locked up in a box.”

 

Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec was left stunned on Tuesday’s It Takes Two as he discovered a show first after 11 years on the competition

Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer Aljaz Skorjanec was left stunned on Tuesday’s It Takes Two over a surprise revelation.

Over the weekend, Aljaz, 34, and his celebrity dance partner Tasha Ghouri received a perfect score of 40 from the judges for their American Smooth to Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi. The duo received a standing ovation as they achieved the series’ first 40.

Appearing on Tuesday’s It Takes Two, host Fleur East had a fun revelation for Aljaz after the incredible milestone. Fleur, 37, pointed out: “This was your third perfect score on the show, Aljaz. Your other two were with Abbey Clancy.”

Aljaz, who was paired with Abbey back in 2013 on series 11 and won the show with her, was left stunned at the detail as he remarked: “This is my first perfect score after Abbey Clancy?” to which Tasha asked: “How many years ago was that?” as Aljaz replied: “11 years ago!”

Asking if it still impacts him in the same way getting that perfect score, Aljaz admitted: “I think even more so!” he added: “I think it affects me even more because with Abbey Clancy it was my first season, everything comes so fast at you. You are choreographing dancers, they come and go so quickly.

“It’s all a bit of a blur but now doing it for ten years, I don’t know how hard it is to achieve that perfect score and I can’t believe it’s my third perfect score in the whole time I’ve been doing it. So thank you, Craig [Revel Horwood] mainly and the rest [of the judges].”

It comes as judge Anton du Beke was visibly moved as Tasha achieved the series’ first 40 over the weekend. Fellow judge Shirley Ballas remarked on Anton’s emotional display, saying: “This is the first time I’ve seen you cry, and you were very emotional.”

Over the weekend, Aljaz, 34, and his celebrity dance partner Tasha Ghouri received a perfect score of 40To which Anton confessed: “It was beautiful. It just makes me go – this is why we dance. This is the point. People say why do you dance, and that’s why. We don’t dance for people to say we’re wonderful. We dance mostly for how it makes us feel.
