On Friday’s instalment of Loose Women, ITV star Kaye Adams hinted there’s something big happening on the programme next week.

It looks as though there’s big news happening next week for the Loose Women ladies. As the show wrapped up on Friday afternoon, presenter Kaye Adams shared what fans can expect to see on the programme.

She said: “Two Loose legends are stopping by too when Andrea and Sherrie pop in. As if that wasn’t enough, we have got a huge announcement about the biggest thing that we have ever done here on Loose.”

Asking her co-star Judi Love to fill in their guest Craig Revel Horwood, the panellist was seen whispering the show’s secret to him. He replied: “Am I? That sounds absolutely A-MA-ZING. I cannot wait, darling!”

Before the show came to an end, Kaye added: “You won’t want to miss it! Have a great weekend!” Viewers will have to wait until next week to find out what the Loose Women panel have in store for fans.

During the show, the panel spoke to Strictly Come Dancing judge Craig about the BBC show as the competition nears the final.

Olivia Attwood confessed her heart was breaking for her friend and Strictly contestant Pete Wicks after he was placed bottom of the leaderboard last weekend.

The Towie star was awarded 27 for his Cha Cha, which he performed in neon pink PVC trousers, a sheer shirt to match and sparkly heart-shaped glasses.

Craig replied: “Oh really? Mine (heart) broke for him in fact. I mean there was nothing I could do about that performance was there. I mean, he’s great though I love him. I absolutely love him and he’s so brave to get out there.”

The Strictly judge continued as he told the Loose panel he’s thoroughly enjoying the show this year as he praised the contestants.

Kaye prompted: “So Chris (McCausland) to win?”

He replied: “Well, he’s got every opportunity, hasn’t he? I think he’s very, very popular with the crowd and as we know, it’s up to the wonderful people at home isn’t it really?

“I think the people are home should be given the opportunity to be in charge of it all. We’re really there just for guidance.”

Currently, Chris is the bookie’s favourite to win the competition with William Hill putting his odds at 1/5.

“Despite there being four weeks left, McCausland trades at just 1/5 to win this year’s series, giving him serious breathing space in the betting ahead of Sarah Hadland (9/2) and Tasha Ghouri (10/1).”

Strictly Come Dancing continues Saturday on BBC One from 7:05pm.

Loose Women continues weekdays on ITV from 12:30pm

Phillip Schofield was seen paying tribute to late Radio 2 DJ Steve Wright where he delighted in taking a selfie with a broadcasting legend

Phillip Schofield has posted a selfie with a current broadcasting legend while celebrating the life of late BBC Radio 2 DJ, Steve Wright.

The 62-year-old beleaguered TV presenter had a rare moment, recently, to share some laughter and happiness as he remembered Steve, who died in February from a ruptured ulcer in his stomach, aged 69. Steve had hosted shows on the BBC for more than 40 years before his passing, which came after he left his afternoon show in 2002, following being axed and replaced by Scott Mills.

Steve had been a fixture on the airwaves for 23 years with his afternoon show, and his fellow DJs were there in numbers to pay tribute, some nine months after his passing. Among them were ‘whispering’ Bob Harris, 78, who earned his nickname due to his husky delivery during his long radio career.

Bob was full of smiles when he posed with Phillip for a selfie, which the former TV presenter posted on his Instagram Story. Schofe captioned the snap with: “Wonderful day remembering our friend and broadcast icon, Steve Wright.” He then added a further caption to the pic, which read: “There were many legends present (me excluded!) none more so than @whisperingbob”

Phillip then posted another selfie with Bob before adding a photo of Steve Wright, taken when he was in his prime on BBC Radio 1. Captioning this photo, Phillip admitted that the gathering might not have been Steve’s cup of tea, but he would have been pleased with how many were there paying homage to the late great. Phillip wrote: “Steve would have hated it… but been quietly thrilled that so many people who loved him, came together for him.”

The photos showed a different picture to the one yesterday, when Phillip looked glum as he was spotted out and about with his daughter two months after he returned to our TV screens. The former This Morning presenter was pictured walking his dog alongside daughter Molly Lowe in London on Wednesday.

This comes after Phillip appeared on the new Channel 5 programme Cast Away, which was met with mixed reviews. Phillip was also seen wearing his wedding ring, despite coming out as gay and separating from his wife, Stephanie Lowe, in February 2020.

It has been a difficult few weeks for Phillip after he announced that his mum Patricia Schofield had passed away last month. A funeral was held for Patricia in Cornwall, where she had lived, on November 8. The service at St. Michaels Church in Newquay was attended by family and friends, including Phillip. He was joined by his wife Stephanie, 60, as well as their daughters Molly, 31, and Ruby, 28.

The annual celebration of music, theatre and comedy will return to screens to show highlights from the 112th event – and there are fears more jokes will be unleashed at the expense of the Royals

The 2024 Royal Variety Performance is taking place in London tonight.

The annual event is now in its 112th year – having first been performed way back in 1912, with King George V and Queen Mary attending. Amanda Holden and Alan Carr are on hosting duties, and aside from the King and Queen, this year’s star-studded show will feature appearances from Elton John, Penn & Teller and BGT winner Sydnie Christmas.

But some Royal fans might be anxious Carr and co could crack controversial jokes about the Royal Family. Many past hosts and performers have made risqué comments about the top British family. Here we look back at some of those controversial moments.

Lee Mack

The 2022 Royal Variety Performance was the first to take place following the death of Queen Elizabeth II – who passed away in September that year at the impressive age of 96. Lee Mack was placed in charge of hosting the show – but provoked controversy with a joke about Her Majesty’s late husband, Prince Phillip – who died in April 2021 at the age of 99.

Addressing Prince Edward and wife Sophie – who were sitting in the audience – Lee joked: “I look forward to meeting you both after the show. I’ve been told all about Royal etiquette. I don’t want to make the mistake I made on my first Royal Variety Performance in 2002. Apparently when meeting the Royal family, you should bow your head just at the neck and you never offer your hand until you’ve been offered it by them.

“And the number one rule which I got wrong last time was to never kiss them on the lips. Honestly, I thought Prince Philip was going to punch my lights out.” The gag was slammed by many, with one fan writing on X/Twitter: “I love Lee Mack but joking about Prince Philip in that way is far too cheeky. Especially given the fact the Queen only passed a few months back. There’s a time and a place.”

Alan Carr

Bespectacled comedy icon Alan was also the host of the Variety show in 2021 but divided fans with an awkward joke aimed at Prince William and Kate. The TV star complemented Kate and the green dress that she was wearing.

However, he made a quip that was arguably at his own expense as he referenced his own sexuality to assure Prince William that he was not making a pass at his wife. Alan joked: “Sir, I am sure you do not know who I am. But I am not hitting on your wife.”

While Alan’s joke made the royal pair chuckle, viewers watching at home were less impressed – with some taking aim at the comedian, with one writing on X/Twitter at the time: “@RoyalVariety blimey didn’t realise how funny Alan Carr isn’t. This is so boring.” And another asked: “Who the feck booked Alan Carr for #TheRoyalVarietyPerformance? His jokes are as old as Rod Stewart’s hairstyle.”

Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett

In 2019, the event was hosted by comedian pair Romesh Ranganathan and Rob Beckett. Both of the comedy stars took aim at Prince William and Kate – who were sat prominently in the audience while their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were at home.

Rob said: “We are also joined by some special Royal guests tonight. I’m really excited about the royal party being here. I’ve been doing research. I went to Hampton Court Palace for 10 hours. I got lost in the maze… Thank you for coming out tonight. You’re on date night. That’s exciting. You got the babysitter until midnight or 1am? It’s worth that extra 20 quid.”

Romesh continued: “Like me you’re blessed with three beautiful children. I reckon every morning they come running into your bedroom and you look at their little faces and say, ‘I regret this’.”

The jokes didn’t land well with viewers, however, with many finding the quips excruciating. One TV fan wrote on X/Twitter at the time: “Poor Wills & Kate having to force laughter for these two idiots. #RoyalVarietyPerformance.”

Greg Davies

In 2018, Variety Show viewers were sure many jokes were going over the head of Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, who was sat beside new husband Prince Harry. Show host Greg Davies shared an anecdote about his mum, nerves, and the Queen.

But viewers were convinced the comment left Meghan grimacing with confusion. One fan wrote on X/Twitter: “I don’t think Meghan got the joke… that fake laugh weren’t kidding me!”

Jack Whitehall

Back in 2014, Jack Whitehall took to the stage of the Royal Variety Show – where he stunned fans by revealing he had been at school with Kate. The star sparked gasps at the time, not just because of his surprising royal connection – but because of a cheeky quip he made at the event too.

Jack said: “I was a bit younger than you, but this is the first time I’ve seen you since school, so hello.” He made his comment while gazing towards the Royal Box – where Kate was sat alongside her husband.

Jack continued: “I don’t know whether it’s appropriate given the circumstances but you were probably my first ever crush.” He then hastily added: “Okay, definitely inappropriate. Your Highness is giving me a sharp look.”

The following year, Jack caused more awkward laughs as he addressed Prince Harry, saying: “Yes, ladies and gentleman, he may only be a Prince. But when it comes to banter, all hail the King.”

I’m A Celebrity 2024 did not go Dean McCullough’s way yet again on Thursday night, as he struggled with his Bushtucker Trial for the third time in three days

There was more upset on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity on Thursday night as Dean McCullough found himself struggling in yet another trial.

For the third time in a matter of days, the radio star failed to secure all stars on offer in his Bushtucker Trial, meaning a small meal once more for the camp. Just days ago we saw him scream and cry after being locked into a mummy figurine, with it slowly filling up with sand

Having shared that being buried was one of his big fears, it all got too much for the shaken star and he quit the trial two questions in. The next day, he and GK Barry managed to stick the trial out, but they weren’t able to win a single star.

There were more screams and tears, resulting in host Ant McPartlin “losing his cool”, with him later fuming over the pair for wasting time. Things did not get much better on Thursday night, with little redemption in sight for the campmate.

The latest trial saw him try the task and he did get further in than his first trial. But it once again all got too much for him and he was left screaming the famous words: “I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!”

Dean’s head was placed in a box in one part of the challenge, with snakes and bugs joining him while he had to use his tongue to secure the stars. He also had to put his hands through some boxes in another task while receiving shocks, while a third challenge saw him having to move a star, with his tongue, from one end to the other – with huge spiders on his head.

As the trial came to an end, Dean was visibly shaking and annoyed at having to end it once again. He had his head in his hands before he was shown what was in the boxes, as hosts Ant and Dec didn’t look happy. Dean did manage to secure four stars for camp though, something he said he was happy about.

Once again, Dean faced the cruel task of having to tell his campmates all about the drama, and the fact he’d got no stars. With campmates now super hungry, having had two days of rationed meals, it was clear Dean was dreading telling them.

Amid his unlucky third stint at the trial clearing, viewers have been left wondering if Dean will quit the show. He’s been tipped to walk for the past few days after his terror ordeal at the first and second trial, with the third now also ending badly.

Taking to X, one fan posted: “Mate mark my words Dean will be the first to walk.” Another viewer commented: “Dean is not gonna last,” as a third posted: “Shocked Dean has not quit already.”

Jane Moore, known for sharing her views on Loose Women and her lengthy career in journalism, spoke to campmates on I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! on ITV on Wednesday

Jane Moore once left a tattoo parlour mid procedure – because it was “too painful” to complete.

The Loose Woman told her I’m a Celebrity co-stars the comical story about when she went for the etching at just 18 – but found it too agonising so left after an outline was done.

Speaking on Wednesday’s show on ITV, she said the outline now resembles a “golden eagle” because her bum has got bigger since. The confession left her campmates, including Corrie actor Alan Halsall, McFly singer Danny Jones, N-Dubz star Tulisa Contostavlos, speechless.

The gang were eventually pictured bursting into laughter at Jane’s cheeky mishap, which she shared after asking Danny about his tattoo on his right leg. The musician, from Bolton, Greater Manchester, admitted he was underage when he got the large inking done but, as a kid, wanted something with Bruce Springsteen lyrics on.

Then Jane, who has been a regular on Loose Women since 2013, said: “When I was about 18, I thought I’m gonna get a bluebird on my bum. They just did the outline and I went ‘too painful, thanks’, and I just left… So I’ve just got this outline. It’s like a golden eagle now because my arse has got bigger.”

It offered Danny, 38, light relief as later in the show, he broke down as he opened up on battling anxiety since he was a teenager. Talking about therapy and his emotions, jungle co-stars Oti Mabuse and Tulisa both praised the musician for opening up.

Asked about therapy, Danny went on: “Yeah, I’ve been in therapy since I was 19 for anxiety.” It’s then that he detailed an on-air panic attack that left him “freaking out” during a televised interview. He revealed: “I was freaking out and I couldn’t answer the question that got asked to me. Heart rate goes crazy.”

Jane had asked whether he’d suffered with it from childhood, with Danny becoming upset with his head in his hands as he told her: “I think I escaped a lot.”

As he broke down, Tulisa said in the Bush Telegraph: “We’re seeing a lot of emotion coming out of Danny which is beautiful.” Back in camp Danny then thanked his campmates.

BBC show Strictly Come Dancing is heating up ahead of next month’s finale and former pro Brendan Cole didn’t hold back when he shared his views on last weekend’s performances

Saturday night saw the return of Strictly Come Dancing’s infamous Blackpool show.

Pete Wicks stormed the stage with his professional partner Jowita Przystal, but Brendan Cole, a former pro on the hit BBC show, pointed out something worrying about their dance in a new interview.

The weekend’s instalment of the ballroom competition marked the end of the road for Wynne Evans and his partner Katya Jones, who landed in the dance off against Montell Douglas and Johannes Radebe.

Former TOWIE star Pete, meanwhile, scored 27 points from the judges for his and Jowita’s Cha-cha-cha.

Broadcasting live from the iconic Blackpool Tower Ballroom on Saturday, viewers were wowed by a performance from The Pet Shop Boys and watched the celebrities and their dance partners dazzle with extravagant routines.

However, Brendan said that 36-year-old Pete’s most recent performance was his worst yet. He told Sky Vegas: “I didn’t love his [Pete Wicks’] number on the weekend, but it wasn’t bad enough [to be voted out].”

Elaborating on the fact Saturday marked Pete’s ‘worst’ performance, Brendan did offer some positive feedback too, continuing: “Obviously, the audience were on board, because he’s making it through. Potentially, in the next few weeks, he could really do something quite special. Saturday night was probably one of his worst dances – if he was going to go, last night would have been the night for it to happen.”

Elsewhere over the weekend, Miranda actress Sarah Hadland and her dance partner Vito Coppola and Love Island star Tasha Ghouri and her dance partner Aljaž Škorjanec topped the leaderboard on Saturday night – with both couples scoring 39 points from the judges.

In the end, it was Opera singer Wynne who left the show and on Monday, during an appearance on spin-off show It Takes Two, Wynne was overcome with emotion as he spoke about his time on Strictly.

The Go Compare star said: “It’s been wonderful, I’ve got to say. I feel like it’s what Strictly is all about. If I can come and do Strictly and last until week nine, then anybody can get out there and dance and have a brilliant time. Strictly is such a brilliant family, such a precious family, that I want everybody here in this room and at home to look after it for the generations to come because it is a wonderful, wonderful thing.”

Meanwhile, Katya added: “This is what Strictly is about, no one is going to remember the scores or the comments you got. It’s the friendships they create on the show and genuine relationships. I’m so glad you had each other.”

Wynne then unexpectedly burst into tears – leaving show host Fleur East scrambling to find tissues to give him.

As the King celebrates his birthday on November 14, alongside his wife, Queen Camilla, will he also perhaps reflect on what might have been. It could just as easily have been Diana as his Queen if his mother Queen Elizabeth II had had her way.

As heir to the throne at the time, Charles had to seek the permission of Her Majesty to marry, as all those in the line of succession had to. He might have followed the earlier example of his sister, Princess Anne, who when asked how difficult it was, replied: ‘Not half as difficult as asking permission to get divorced.’ Which they both were required to do at some time.

These days, Anne is so far down the line that it isn’t necessary for her to ask anyone’s permission.

A royal birthday still attracts a lot of publicity, from newspapers and television, which is then lapped up by the public. It seems nearly everyone wants to know every detail of Royal Family life.

And if there is any spice in the story, so much the better. When Charles was still Prince of Wales, serving the longest apprenticeship ever by an heir to the throne (he was over 70 before he became monarch), he was allowed the comparative freedom that he lost the day he donned the crown.

Charles was regarded as the most eligible and famous bachelor in the world and when he married Lady Diana Spencer, in July 1981, making her the Princess of Wales, and she became the most famous woman on the planet.

But, as we now know, it wasn’t to last. Charles never stopped talking about Camilla Parker Bowles and his friendship with her, even when at last he married Diana. She accepted this, knowing that to object would place her at odds with the Royal Household, as well as against the most powerful family in the world.

On the day Charles and Diana married they became the most photographed couple ever.

However, there were problems almost from the beginning . And, contrary to the general belief, it wasn’t all Charles’s fault. There was trouble on both asides. Five years after they married, Diana resumed a relationship with a former old boyfriend, James Hewit, in 1986.

 Much later, Charles admitted that the love of his life had always been Camilla, and they began another affair. It would never end. To many people throughout the world, it remains one of the greatest love stories ever.

He said at the time that his relationship with Mrs Parker Powles was ‘non-negotiable’.

If there has ever been a year that Charles would describe as the worst in his life, it could well be 1992. His birthday that year was not a time for celebration. Perhaps relief was all he felt now that at last it was all over. This was when he and Diana finally separated.

When the divorce was finalised, the financial settlement was never revealed, as with all royal matters. But it was believed to be around £15million.

There had always been a great deal of speculation about what went wrong with the Waleses. Was it Charles never really having loved her? The massive age difference between them – he was 13 years older than Diana. Or maybe the difference in their upbringing.

Charles had grown up used to the rigid discipline of Palace life and all it involved. With Diana, even though hers was an aristocratic background, there was a certain amount of informality in the Spencer family that was missing with the House of Windsor. She was a tactile, affectionate woman while Charles never really forgets who and what he is or was.

The only bright light being that the way was now clear for him to marry Camilla at last, which he did on April 9, 2005, in a civil ceremony in Windsor Guildhall, followed by a blessing by the Archbishop of Canterbury at Windsor Castle. His mother, the Queen, did not attend the civil ceremony as she believed it would be inappropriate as the Head of the Church of England.

A few years earlier there was another tragedy that had caused Charles to try to forget the past. Diana was involved in a car crash in Paris in 1997, and died immediately.

There was international mourning for her and the same amount of derision and scorn aimed at Charles who was blamed, unfairly, by many millions of men and women. All watched by a worldwide audience.

If there was one thing both Charles and Diana would be jointly proud of it was the fact that they produced two wonderful sons, William and Harry, though Harry, as a typical younger son, is causing certain problems at the moment.

They both love their father and understand the difficulties both parents faced in their early days.

William is working with his father, helping as much as possible and preparing for his own future role.

Anyway, things appear to have settled down for the Royal Family, at last. Charles is behaving impeccably as monarch and has recently completed an arduous tour of Australia while continuing to recover from his cancer diagnosis.

He deserves to enjoy this birthday, more than we know. He’s hard working. He never stops. Now is the time for him to relax, with his wife, and Queen, alongside him. And may we join with many more people, everywhere, in wishing him a Respectful Happy Birthday.

The SKIMS founder posted a throwback photo of Beckham skiing in 2006 on her Instagram Story Saturday

Kim Kardashian has a wintry weather fashion muse!

On Saturday, the SKIMS founder, 43, posted a series of behind-the-scenes looks at her Aspen ski vacation on Instagram, including one in which she detailed that friend Victoria Beckham is her skiing style icon.

“My fashion ski muse @victoriabeckham” Kardashian wrote over a shot of Beckham, 49, from 2006, wearing a black leather Chanel ski suit.

In the throwback shot, the fashion designer stood in her skis on a slope in the chic winter sports attire, which she accessorized with a large pair of sunglasses and a black headband.

Kardashian’s other Instagram Story posts included several videos of skiers on the slopes, including one of which appeared to be the reality star wearing a ski outfit resembling the mid-2000s look worn by Beckham, performing a fun trick of skiing between someone else’s legs.

Reposting the video on her own Instagram Story, Kardashian’s younger sister, Khloé Kardashian, revealed she was the person the reality star had performed the stunt with.

“Me and my Keeks,” she wrote over the video.

Elsewhere on her Instagram Story, Kardashian posted photos of the inside of a wooden lodge, which had patterned blankets piled high in one corner, as well as a shot of a tasty-looking hot chocolate with a large marshmallow.

The sweet beverage was sitting atop a napkin featuring the logo for The Little Nell, a luxury hotel in Aspen.

Kardashian also shared a photo of her legs on a ski lift and a shot of what appeared to be herself, taken from a distance, as she made her way down a slope.

The SKKN by Kim founder’s shout-out to Beckham isn’t the first time the two friends have bonded over fashion.

Last year, Kardashian wore a dress by the star to attend the Victoria Beckham Spring/Summer 2024 womenswear show in Paris, which later prompted Beckham to make a version of the dress for herself.

“Now I’m sure a few of you recognize this dress. This was the dress that I created exclusively for Kim to wear to my last show in Paris,” Beckham explained to her followers in a selfie video of herself in the gown in October.

Beckham added that Kardashian had looked “incredible” in the dress, before revealing it had made her want the dress for herself.

“I think I was the first person to say, ‘I want that dress!’ because Kim really did look sensational in it. So what I decided to do was create an exclusive stock drop only on victoriabeckham.com where you can register on the link below and check out our exclusive drops, which do include this dress, which I love,” she said.

“I love the simple shape. I’m moving around so you can see what happens when the light hits the fabric. It’s a soft baby pink and it’s just incredible. A super flattering shape, very comfortable, a really great fabric. I love it,” Beckham concluded.

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have been the nation’s sweethearts for years, but fans were left concerned when the couple were seen having a row in the street

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash, the much-loved celebrity couple, tugged at heartstrings with their enchanting wedding in 2022 at the picturesque Pickle Cottage. Yet, they had fans fretting over potential discord in paradise, as images surfaced showing what seemed to be an intense public ‘row’—with Stacey in obvious distress.

In the aftermath, Stacey took off for a self-proclaimed ‘much needed’ girl’s trip to Vegas, leaning on her friends for comfort as she shared on Instagram feeling ‘supported’, amidst speculation about the spat with Joe, famed ex-EastEnders actor. The tearful telly fave was captured apart from Joe, who was spotted strolling down the street solo with his vape, as OK! reports.

She appeared consoled by a crew member — the pair are currently being followed by a documentary team. An eyewitness reported to a tabloid: “About 15 minutes later Joe was having an animated talk with the man. Eventually Stacey walked towards Joe in the car and shouted something. They ended up leaving separately. It all looked very tense.”

Inside sources now claim that the public dispute wasn’t just for show—it was the real deal and might stem from pressures of their upcoming reality series. “Their recent argument was a real one and both are wondering what they signed up for. It seemed a great idea at the time but they’re worried about exposing themselves even more, which is what this row showed.”

Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash’s fans are all a-buzz on social media as the much-loved couple regularly entertain with snaps of their quirky married life, which includes crafting mischievous pranks and sharing moments that range from heartwarming to hilariously annoying. But the latest scoop promises to put the pair under a different kind of spotlight.

Escape To Pickle Cottage, the rumoured name of their brand-new BBC reality show, promises to be a no-holds-barred series poised to delve deep into the bustling household of Stacey, Joe, and their six kids at their plush Essex home. From Stacey’s knack for interior design, to the energetic youngsters and their pets – including their adored ducks Daisy and Delilah Solomon-Swash – fans are eagerly anticipating this candid look into their favourite stars’ daily antics. While the power couple’s massive online following can’t wait, there’s word from our insider that the filming experience isn’t quite what Stacey bargained for.

Filming for the new BBC series means cameras following the family around regularly (

It seems the pressures of having cameras around the clock might be taking its toll. “It’s really starting to show the strain between her and Joe – she wanted this more than him and he’s not as comfortable being filmed 24/7,” the source revealed. “When Stacey signed up for the reality show she had no idea how much pressure she would be under.”

Reality TV doesn’t shy away from the nitty-gritty, as seen on Netflix’s ‘At Home With the Furys’ and America’s guilty pleasure ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’, where family feuds are just part of the script. It appears though that Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have felt the sting of too much reality in their own lives.

A source claimed: “Despite people telling her that it’s not as easy as it looks, she just thought it would be like putting up posts and stories on her Instagram. But producers want drama and storylines so it won’t just be her playing happy families,” adding that, “Stacey is quite open about their arguments but this was a big one – and there has been a lot of tension.”

During her trip to Sin City, where Stacey witnessed Adele live and had a personal shout-out, she couldn’t help but gush over her pals for being a rock-solid support system, stating: “they literally lift me up, have my back, keep me going, make me feel so supported and I just couldn’t do life without them.”

Joe couldn’t hide his joy as he shared heartwarming pics of their lovely reunion, imagining warming up fans’ hearts when he captioned the shots: “The kids were super excited to show mummy the welcome home board they made. We all missed her so much. Just ain’t the same without you Stacey,” while Stacey herself added: “My babies came to the airport for me.”

According to the source, Stacey’s brief jaunt to the US has seemingly worked wonders for everyone involved. “Stacey went away for a few days and in that time Joe realised how much he missed her, needs her – and that they do really love each other.” All eyes are on the couple, hoping that the natural pressures that come with living life in front of cameras won’t spark further disputes. Despite occasional friction, it’s evident these two have a lot of love for one another.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are two of the most well-known people in the world – but are they more glamorous than the royals? Vote here.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are been described as “instinctively glamourous” by one expert – as opposed to many members of the Royal Family.

Following King Charles’s red carpet appearance at the Gladiators II London premiere last week, one expert has spoken of the distinct lack of glamour – potentially without some of the more fashion-conscious royals by his side.

Royal historian Dr Tessa Dunlop recently said the King looked “alone” on the red carpet in Leicester Square, with his appearance featuring “no retro glamour, no tinsel, no tiaras”.

Recently speaking to the Mirror, she dubbed the Duke and Duchess of Sussex as more “glamorous” than the royals and said that they are likely “waiting in the wings”. She said: “The Royal Family might think they are above such glitzy gimmicks. That would be a mistake. After all, waiting in the wings are ex-royals, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

“Instinctively glamourous with bundles of razzmatazz, the Californian couple have an effortless knack for combining showbiz gloss and public do-gooding. William beware! It would never do for the royal brand to be upstaged.”

The expert also referred to royal charity initiatives including Prince William’s homelessness documentary. She claimed that “the public will tolerate a bit of charitable hectoring but only if accompanied with a large dollop of fairytale glamour”.

Speaking of previous royal red-carpet appearances, the expert believes glamour is now lacking. Dr Dunlop said: “That fabulous ‘No Time to Die’ Bond premiere when Camilla and Kate waltzed out in a haze of designer sequins felt like a world away.”

As a former actress, Meghan is used to the “glamorous” lifestyle – frequently attending red carpet events during her days as an actress on the US drama Suits.

As well as making visits overseas, Harry has now attended a share of glamorous events such as the Bob Marley film premiere in Jamaica earlier this year.

The royal, 40, looked dapper in smart suits at events for the Invictus Games, mostly recently appearing solo for one in Canada.

Since stepping down as senior working royals, Meghan and Harry now reside in California with their children – Archie, five, and Lilibet, three.
