The Loose Women stars were left cooing on Friday’s episode, as Grace ‘GK’ Barry introduced the latest addition to her family on air.

During Friday’s episode of Loose Women, the panel was absolutely smitten as Grace ‘GK’ Barry unveiled the newest addition to her family.

Kaye Adams softly hinted at the onset that Grace was about to bring out a fresh face to the Loose crew. The I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! star introduced her sweet puppy to the show, who she adorably named Noodle.

Upon their entrance on stage, coos and murmurs of affection rippled through the audience. Nevertheless, the ITV favourite revealed a cheeky secret she hadn’t informed her parents about the doggy addition until after Noodle’s arrival into her home, reports the Liverpool Echo.

Grace admitted: “I’m not going to lie, the first week I didn’t tell my parents!”

The ITV star chuckled over her initial secrecy, saying: “I thought, I don’t know how they’re going to react to me getting a dog. They’ve always been like, ‘You’ve got such a busy job, can you even look after yourself? ‘ which is a fair point!”

But as it turns out, the research paid off, and after taking the plunge, Grace’s fluffy pal became the heart stealer of her household. She revealed: “They (her parents) absolutely love him! He comes to all my shoots with me. He’s a bit of a diva.”

Co-host Kaye couldn’t help but gush over Noodle’s charm, especially as the puppy sported an adorable bow tie, calling the canine companion gorgeous.

Reflecting on her family’s warming up to Noodle, Grace shared: “I had to just show them him and then they were like, ‘No we really love him.’”

The panel listened as Grace recounted her decision to acquire a dog, saying she stumbled upon the Asian Toy Poodle while in Australia and was charmed by the breed.

Kaye picked up on earlier comments from Grace about her hesitation to inform her parents of getting Noodle, asking if she still felt intimidated by them. Grace candidly admitted that she did.

She revealed: “At this age, you can still be told off by your parents! Even though I know they’d be fine with it. I remember when I first got my tattoo, I hid it for a month because I knew they didn’t love tattoos.”

Loose Women continues weekdays on ITV from 12:30pm

Katie Piper has shared a significant update with her followers after undergoing surgery to protect her left eye. The procedure marks the start of her journey with a prosthetic eye, following years of health struggles.

Katie Piper has recently undergone a surgical procedure to safeguard her left eye.

The model and activist shared the news with her followers on social media, stating: “After many years battling with my eye health, I’ve reached the end of road somewhat, and the decision has been made to try a prosthetic eye shell.

“This marks the start of a journey to have an artificial eye, with an incredible medical team behind me. As always I’m incredibly grateful to all those in the NHS and private health care system for their talent and kindness. I will share my journey, I’m hopeful and nervous about being able tolerate it and would love to hear from any of you in the comments if you’ve been on this journey or have any advice…”

Katie attached an image and video from the hospital during her procedure, including footage of the doctor inserting the prosthetic eye. Fans rushed to the comments to share their words of encouragement.

One user wrote: “You’re positivity after what happened to you is just so inspiring. You are amazing and the eye you have will be beautiful I’m sure of it and you’ll go on to inspire others

Whilst another added: “You are truly amazing. Your strength and resilience is just incredible and such an inspiration to everyone. Thank you for sharing your journey because I’ve no doubt it’ll help so many others.”

The Loose Women star, now 40, was just 24 in March 2008 when her evil ex, Daniel Lynch, plotted the vicious ambush that left her face severely burned and in need of 400 operations. She has come a long way since her trauma and has bravely rebuilt her life – now a campaigner for other victims, she has been awarded an OBE for charity and burns services.

But her attacker Stefan Sylvestre, who was ordered to carry out the assault by obsessive Lynch, is still on the run after fleeing the country following his prison release. Rapist Lynch, 47, was jailed for life in 2009 for organising the act of “pure, calculated and deliberate evil”. He was sentenced to life at London’s Wood Green Crown Court after being found guilty of rape and GBH, and admitting ABH.

In an emotional Instagram video, she revealed that her recovery wasn’t progressing as hoped, saying, “”I’ve spent the morning back at the eye clinic as I’ve got problems with my eye. I’ve got a defect and an infection that is becoming really hard to treat.”

Around the same time, Katie opened up to her fans about finding it ‘mentally hard’ as she undergoes more surgeries and continues life with the injuries she sustained in an acid attack in 2008. The 40-year-old presenter suffered major injuries and blindness in one eye after being attacked with acid by her ex-boyfriend and an accomplice 15 years ago.

WARNING: DISTRESSING CONTENT – Wildfires have devastated southern California this week, with 70,000 people said to have been evacuated, over 1,000 structures destroyed and five people reported to have died

A TV network has been slammed after airing footage of what appears to be human remains – bosses however have hit back.

The Weather Channel in the US have been documenting wildfires in California and viewers claim that they had saw human remains. Fires started in parts of Los Angeles on Tuesday and have devastated the state in the days since. The death toll is said to have reached five so far and over 1,000 structures are already believed to have been destroyed in the region.

There’s been much coverage of the situation amid residents, including some celebrities, being forced to flee their homes. It has now been suggested the Weather Channel may have aired footage of human remains in a recent segment – though the channel has since dismissed the suggestion in a statement to the Mirror.

A TikTok video, which purportedly shows coverage of the wildfires by the Weather Channel, has been circulating on X, formerly known as Twitter. The video shows what appears to be a destroyed property and it’s suggested in it that part of a skeleton – including a skull – is visible at one point as the camera zooms into some of the rubble at the location. It is not clear whether they were human remains.

Sharing the clip on X, one account tweeted on Thursday morning: “Weather channel shows the remains of someone who lost their life in the Palisades fire. Horrifying.” Another wrote: “It appears the weather channel wasn’t aware what it was airing? If it is what we think it is, that is so sad.”

A third person commented: “I’m confused as well. If it turns out to be what we think, it’s incredibly sad and concerning.” Another simply responded “horrendous” to one of the posts on the platform. Whilst someone else posted: “Did the @weatherchannel just show a charred skeleton in the rubble of the Los Angeles fires without realizing it?”

Some viewers have however dismissed the suggestion that it showed potentially human or animal remains. One person wrote in their response to a post about the footage: “Burnt humans/animals don’t look like that at all.” Sharing their thoughts, another viewer said: “I don’t think that’s what everyone thinks it is.”

A spokesperson for the Weather Channel told the Mirror: “These social media claims are inaccurate and completely false. We have 100% confirmed that the video shows debris from the aftermath of a house fire and nothing else. The time wasted on erroneous news reporting on this false social media claim is disappointing given that Californians are still dealing with the trauma and devastation of the ongoing SoCal wildfires and are seeking factual information about how to keep them and their families safe as this tragic situation continues to develop.”

The devastating wildfires have swept through southern California this week, including in the Pacific Palisades, which is home to a number of celebrities. More than 70,000 people have been evacuated in recent days amid the fires.

California Governor Gavin Newsom expressed gratitude to the emergency services for their response to the wildfires in a post on X on Wednesday. It read: “To the heroes, firefighters, and first responders battling these fires in Los Angeles: Your sacrifice and determination inspire the entire state. California is deeply grateful for your dedication and service.”

Britain’s Got Talent judges Simon Cowell, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli have kicked off the show’s auditions after taking a break following Liam Payne’s death in October

Simon Cowell has returned to the Britain’s Got Talent auditions after they were halted following Liam Payne’s death.

The talent show creator was seen alongside his fellow judges Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli. Former One Direction singer Liam tragically died at the age of 31 after falling from the third floor of a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina in October. He had formed part of the boyband, which was created by Simon on the X Factor in 2010.

A week before Liam’s shock death, the judges gathered in Blackpool Winter Gardens to mark the new series getting underway. However, the show confirmed they postponed the auditions following his death. It was also reported Simon was taking a break from his duties on BGT, with judge Bruno Tonioli reportedly replacing him

The latest series will also see YouTuber KSI take to the judging panel as he fills in for Bruno in some episodes that have already been filmed. Simon previously shared his heartbreak after the death of Liam, and was seen being comforted by Liam’s parents during the star’s funeral.

After news of Liam’s fall in Argentina broke, Simon wrote: “You never really know how you feel about someone until a moment like this happens. Liam, I am devastated. Heartbroken. And I feel empty. And I want you to know how much love and respect I have for you. Every tear I have shed is a memory of you.

“This is so difficult to put into words right now. I went outside today, and I thought about so many times we had together. I wanted to let you know what I would always say to the thousands of people who would always ask me. What is Liam like? And I would tell them you were kind, funny, sweet, thoughtful, talented, humble, focused. And how much you loved music. And how much love you genuinely had for the fans.”

A major decision has taken place for the current series of the talent show, which has famously filmed the audition stages of the show at the Palladium theatre in London’s West End. However, it will move filming to Blackpool as there is a more electric atmosphere in the seaside town.

Singer Sydnie Christmas won the most recent season of the series – wowing the judges with a moving performance of Over The Rainbow. After scooping the £250,000 prize – as well as the chance to perform at Britain’s Royal Variety Performance – the singer said: “I am overwhelmed with love and it’s the most amazing thing, and I wish every person in this room feels the way I do with this love. It’s amazing. Thank you so much.”

Jeremy Kyle is making a return to ITV screens just five years after his morning programme was axed by executives and he’ll appear alongside one of the networks biggest names

Presenter Jeremy Kyle is returning to ITV five years after his show was axed.

Jeremy, 59, teased his return in a post on Instagram this week. It featured a photo of the radio host behind-the-scenes, with him seen wearing a white shirt, navy trousers and a pair of brown shoes. He posed beside an ITV sign. The post, shared on Thursday, however did not include a caption.

It has since been reported that Jeremy will be appearing as a guest on the new series of Life Stories, hosted by Kate Garraway, 57. The Good Morning Britain host is expected to delve into Jeremy’s decades-long career and his personal life during the interview with the celebrity guest in the episode.

His return to ITV comes almost six years after the channel cancelled his controversial show, the Jeremy Kyle Show, which had launched back in 2005, in 2019. At the time, Carolyn McCall, ITV’s CEO, said it was “the right time for the show to end.” It came following the death of former participant Steve Dymond that same year.

Jeremy – who later joined TalkTV – is said to have filmed with Kate this week for his return to ITV on her interview-based show. A source told the Sun: “He filmed with Kate this week and was really open honest about everything he’s been through.” The source went on to claim: “Everyone will be thrilled to see him back at ITV, it’s a really great episode.”

Kate took over as the host of Life Stories in 2022, following the departure of its former presenter Piers Morgan. Piers had fronted the show since it began in 2009, interviewing the likes of Katie Price, Mel B, Freddie Flintoff, Simon Cowell and Kelly Holmes over the years. Kate was his final guest in an episode that aired in 2021. She has since hosted two series of Life Stories herself – featuring guests such as John Barnes and Ruby Wax – with a third series yet to be released.

Prince Harry’s and Meghan Markle’s security team has been co-ordinating an evacuation plan while packing essentials for their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are set to flee their £11million mansion as raging wildfires continue to devastate parts of Hollywood.

The worst blazes in the history of Los Angeles have already claimed the homes of scores of A-listers including Anthony Hopkins, Billy Crystal and Paris Hilton. Tonight the fires were still some way from the Duke and Duchess’s Montecito home but sources said they are ready to go into “crisis mode”.

Their security team has been co-ordinating an evacuation plan while packing essentials for their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three. A neighbour said: “It’s not chaos here yet but the fire is moving fast and we are not taking any chances.”

The couple and their neighbours have been given public safety survival kits containing a solar charger, flashlight, protective equipment, ice, water, snacks and safety pamphlets. Tonight they posted on their website: “A state of emergency has been issued. If you feel compelled to help, here are some resources.” They then provided several links.

The National Guard has been called out to help fight the fires sweeping the city where insurers say damage has already exceeded £8billion. So far at least five people have died, 2,000 buildings have been obliterated and thousands have been left with nothing but ashes. More than 130,000 residents have been evacuated.

Kathryn Barger, who heads Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors, said more than 20 people have been arrested for looting or similar crimes. She added: “Shame on those who prey on residents at this time of crisis.”

Fierce winds driving the flames died down temporarily yesterday allowing fire crews to slow the spread. But despite the lull, the fires appeared far from under control. From the Pacific Palisades to the Hollywood Hills, from Pasadena to the San Fernando Valley, the area synonymous with glamour was shrouded in a nightmare orange haze.

The City of Angels has become a city of smoke. Thick columns of it rise into the sky. They blot out the sun and turn the city into a surreal landscape of ash and flame. Firefighters stretched to the limit while working 48-hour shifts continued with an uphill battle.

Captain Adam VanGerpen said: “This is unlike anything I’ve seen in my 25 years on the fire department.” Erratic winds gusting to 100 mph on the first night spat embers that rapidly spread the flames. While the gusts may have died down, Van Gerpen said wind forecasts through the weekend were still of concern.

Devastation was described as “biblical in scale” with five major fires reducing landmarks and luxury enclaves to ashes. Further afield blazes left more than 425,000 customers are without power in southern California.

The high winds combined with bone-dry conditions after a rainless winter have created a perfect storm with flames moving at terrifying speed. Hydrants are running dry in some areas and fire-fighting helicopters were at first grounded by the extreme wind.

Officials continue to urge residents to evacuate, warning that those who stay risk significant injury or worse. Some have ignored the pleas, leading to what officials say are a “high number of significant injuries”. County fire chief Anthony Marrone called the situation unprecedented in scope and severity.

Iconic estates on cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean have been obliterated and many local institutions, including Palisades Charter High School, alma mater to countless celebrities, have been lost. As fires marched toward the coast, evacuations were ordered along the Pacific Highway, displacing residents from Malibu to Santa Monica in scenes reminiscent of a disaster movie.

But the horror has not stopped there. To the east, fire unleashed its fury on the suburban sprawl of Pasadena, engulfing over 10,000 acres and destroying 900 buildings including the Pasadena Jewish Temple, a cornerstone of the community for more than a century.

In the Hollywood Hills cultural landmarks such as the Hollywood Bowl and the TCL Chinese Theatre are at risk. All across the city, smaller flare-ups were being reported, adding to the chaos as crews raced from one emergency to the next.

Actress Jamie Lee Curtis and her family have pledged a million dollars (£812,000) to start a “fund of support” for those affected by the fires. The blazes have thrown Hollywood’s awards season into disarray, with the Producers Guild Awards announcing they will delay their nominations from Friday to Sunday.

Joe Biden cancelled the final overseas trip of his presidency just hours before he was set to depart for Rome and the Vatican, choosing to remain in Washington to monitor the disaster response.

Prince William, the Prince of Wales, issued a heartfelt written message on social media after a turbulent past year which saw Princess Kate diagnosed with cancer

Prince William has been today lauded as “a modern man” after his rare move to publicly praise Princess Kate following a difficult year.

The Prince of Wales called Kate the “most incredible wife and mother” in an emotional social media message, marking her 43rd birthday. William appeared to break tradition with the public declaration of love, the first time he has publicly issued a statement for his wife’s birthday.

And experts noted this wouldn’t have been something Prince Philip would ever have done on the Queen’s birthday in their younger days – even if social media did exist around then.

But Kate’s journey with cancer, diagnosed in early 2024, marred her turbulent past year and so this birthday, royal experts say, is particularly poignant.

Arthur Edwards, a veteran royal photographer, said: “Prince Philip would not have issued a statement like this on the Queen’s birthday. Nor Charles for that matter. But William’s words for Catherine show what a modern man he is. He praises her as ‘the most incredible wife and mother’ and it’s obvious their bond is stronger than ever…. William acknowledges Catherine has come through an awful year. He has been magnificent, shielding his wife.”

William, 42, told Kate “We love you” in the message signed “W”. It was accompanied by a new, unseen black and white picture of Kate taken by Matt Porteous, in Windsor, last summer, showing the princess looking relaxed and smiling with her hands in her jean pockets and wearing a gingham scarf.

It is understood the future queen yesterday celebrated quietly at home in Windsor with William, with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis spending the day at school before a family celebration in the evening.

Mr Edwards, who works as a snapper for The Sun, added: “I’ve heard he doesn’t want her working until she is fully fit but it looks like it won’t be long before Catherine is back to a full schedule.”

And Kate was able to host her annual Together at Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey last month. However, royal fans have been warned not to expect Kate to be “rushing back to the same volume of work” as before.

After the mum underwent abdominal surgery in January 2024, she was diagnosed with the cancer and faced chemotherapy treatment. Speaking last year, William described 2024 as a “brutal” and probably “the hardest year” of his life, with his father, the King, also diagnosed with cancer.

It is understood that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have invited friends forced to flee their homes due to terrifying LA wildfires to stay with them at their home in Montecito – but they too are also on standby should they need to evacuate

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have opened up their £23million mansion to help those forced to flee terrifying LA wildfires.

It is understood the Sussexes have invited friends and loved ones who have been forced to evacuate due to the nearby fires to stay with them at their Montecito home. The couple is also believed to have donated supplies to people affected by the blazes, including clothing, children’s items, and other essential supplies.

A series of major fires in California have killed 10 people, ravaged communities and sent thousands of people fleeing their properties, including in areas popular with celebrity homes.

It comes as sources close to the Sussexes also said they are ready to go into “crisis mode” if they need to evacuate should the fires start to threaten their home. However, it is believed they are still some way from their mansion.

Their security team has been coordinating an evacuation plan while packing essentials for their children, Archie, five, and Lilibet, three. A neighbour said: “It’s not chaos here yet but the fire is moving fast and we are not taking any chances.” The couple and their neighbours have been given public safety survival kits containing a solar charger, flashlight, protective equipment, ice, water, snacks and safety pamphlets.

Yesterday, Harry and Meghan spoke publicly about the fires for the first time with a statement on their website. They also recommended a list of fire service charities, animal groups and other initiatives to support. It said: “In the last few days, wildfires in southern California have raged through neighbourhoods and devastated families, homes, schools, medical care centres, and so much more – affecting tens of thousands from all walks of life.”

The Sussexes added: “If a friend, loved one, or pet has to evacuate, and you are able to offer them a safe haven in your home, please do. Be sure to check in with any disabled or elderly neighbours to see if they need help evacuating.

“Some families and people have been left with nothing. Please consider donating clothing, children’s toys and other essentials. The American Red Cross is on the ground helping those in need.”

Airbnb and 211LA, a non-profit organisation offering housing advice, have partnered to provide free temporary housing to people displaced, Harry and Meghan said. They added that long-time Archewell Foundation partner World Central Kitchen is serving meals to emergency service crews and victims. The list also included Cal Fire and LA Fire Department Foundation which are supporting firefighters, as well as the Animal Wellness Foundation which is housing evacuated animals.Baby2baby is offering nappies, clothing and emergency kits to families, Compton Cowboys is providing emergency transport for horses and bookshop All Power Books is keeping its doors open to distribute aid and offer supplies and water for pick-up, the Sussexes said.

TV personality Paris Hilton, US actor Billy Crystal, The Princess Bride star Cary Elwes, talk show host Ricki Lake and Oscar-winning songwriter Diane Warren are among those who have confirmed that their residences have been destroyed in the fires.

On Thursday, in a social media post, film star Jamie Lee Curtis, 66, said she would be taking money from a foundation set up by her family to aid the areas most impacted. Thousands of firefighters were attempting to contain the original Palisades fire, with at least 70,000 people forced to evacuate their homes as the metropolitan area became blanketed in a thick cloud of smoke and ash.

The Traitors viewers expressed excitement amid a feud that may be brewing on the new series between two of the players after scenes that aired on the BBC show on Thursday

The Traitors viewers were thrilled by a player airing their suspicions about Linda on the latest episode.

Thursday night’s episode of the BBC show saw Fozia, 50 – who has only just returned after temporarily leaving in the first episode – question the allegiance of Linda, 70, who is a Traitor. Linda ended up “really angry” over the situation, with a potential feud between the pair now brewing.

The tension between them came following the latest mission, which saw the group split into pairs. They were tasked with going through a funhouse carrying a golden balloon – which would bank them £1,000 if not popped.

Each round of the mission would see the pairs choose between four doors, but only would allow them to progress to the next set of doors. The other three would mean the balloon gets popped. Host Claudia Winkleman also revealed that first pair to make it through the funhouse with their balloon would also win shields -granting immunity from the next ‘murder’.

Teams would be able to share descriptions of the doors they were choosing whilst in the funhouse, potentially helping those yet to play. Lisa, 62, suggested that she and Linda go first, and her partner agreed. It meant they had no information about which doors to choose, unlike the pairs who went after them, and their offer fuelled suspicion that one of them may be a Traitor, as they would not need the immunity anyway.

Fozia confronted Linda over the decision once the group had returned to the castle. They had a tense conversation in which Linda said her and Lisa felt they should “take one for the team” amid a lack of volunteers. Fozia responded: “We were about to [discuss it] but then you two were quick to [volunteer].” Linda then suggested that the rest of the group were then “probably very grateful” to her and Lisa.

Sharing her thoughts in a confessional, Fozia said: “Linda was sweating a little bit at the table when we talked about the mission and I was like ‘hmm’. I think any given opportunity, I will be looking at her.” Speaking about Linda and Lisa, she said: “Them two look like they’re best buddies. One of them is definitely a Traitor and the other one’s just under he wing.”

Linda however wasn’t impressed with Fozia being suspicious of her. She later told Lisa: “I am really angry.” She added: “Fozia just came up to me. She said ‘I thought it was quite interesting you and Lisa put your hands up to do [the mission] first’. And I said ‘yeah, well we thought we’d take one for the team’. And she went ‘yeah but we were just about to discuss it all and you took over and said you’d do it’.”

Linda added: “She’s already getting on my bloody nerves.” Then reflecting in a confessional, Linda said: “Fozia is a big threat and I think she’s very astute. As sad as it is that she’s only been here a couple of days, but I think she has to go.”

The brewing tension between Linda and Fozia, as well as the latter’s growing suspicions of the Traitor, prompted excitement on X. One viewer wrote: “Fozia’s just got there and she’s already onto Linda.” Another said: “Fozia immediately onto Linda, she’s clearly a star.” A third wrote: “Fozia has it all sussed. Clocked Linda straight away. I’m obsessed.” Someone else teased: “Fozia returning and immediately on a mission to get linda out I SUPPORT YOU.” Sharing their thoughts, one fan said: “Living for this fozia linda drama.”

There wasn’t much chance for Fozia to bring up her suspicions at the subsequent round table, with a host of names brought into the mix by the group. She ended up voting to banish Lisa, who was a topic of discussion at the round table. However, at the end of the episode, Fozia was brought up by Linda and fellow Traitor Minah as a potential victim of the next ‘murder’. She was named alongside Anna and Livi, with fans having to wait until Friday’s episode to see who they chose.

Many celebrities have taken to social media to announced their homes were burned downed in the fires, that started earlier this week, across Los Angeles – including in Hollywood

Devastating wildfires have ripped through a large number of celebrities homes in Los Angeles, including the likes of Mark Owen, Paris Hilton and more.

Mass evacuations have seen thousands of people forced to leave their homes behind in recent days, and over a 1000 buildings and structures have been totally destroyed – with a number of people reported to have tragically lost their lives already, in fires Paris Hilton said looked like “hell” on earth.

Celebrities have taken to social media to announce their homes were burned down as over 130,000 people have been evacuated. The flames are being spread by high winds of up to 100mph, which initially stopped the firefighters from tackling them from the air.

And the blazes have thrown Hollywood’s carefully orchestrated awards season into disarray. Awards ceremonies planned for this weekend have been postponed due to the fires. The AFI Awards, which were set to honour “Wicked,” “Anora” and other awards season contenders, had been scheduled for Friday.

Socialite Paris Hilton told fans about the fires in a statement shared to her Instagram. She said she was totally heartbroken to see the destruction of her waterfront home on TV. “Heartbroken to find out what happened to my house by seeing that it was burned to the ground on live TV,” she wrote in a story, which accompanied a clip of the devastation.

In a lengthier post, Paris explained how the “unimaginable” destruction by the fires had left her overwhelmed, but that she was “holding onto gratitude that my family and pets are safe. Heartbroken beyond words,” Paris wrote. “Sitting with my family, watching the news, and seeing our home in Malibu burn to the ground on live TV is something no one should ever have to experience.”

She continued: “This home was where we built so many precious memories. It’s where Phoenix took his first steps and where we dreamed of building a lifetime of memories with London. While the loss is overwhelming, I’m holding onto gratitude that my family and pets are safe. My heart and prayers are going out to every family affected by these fires.

Take That musician Mark Owen was forced to flee his home. His wife took to Instagram, to say: “Thank you for all your messages and checking in. I can’t quite comprehend what happened here, but we are safe. The hurricane-force winds and lack of water have meant the fire has spread catastrophically fast and taken much of our beloved area with it. Schools, homes, shops, and stables are all gone.

“We woke up to helicopters, thick black smoke, winds howling, and the uncertainty that our house would survive. I wish I had packed better. Even if I had just grabbed each of their baby shoes, it would have been something. So many have lost everything, pets included. And it’s nowhere near over. Three active fires are blazing around us, and there is not enough water to manage the situation. Planes are grounded due to the winds.

They work tirelessly to save homes and lives under catastrophic conditions. We see you. Climate change is real, and it’s apocalyptic when it strikes.”

Before getting evacuated, Emma Owen, Mark’s wife told her followers that there was “no water left” and that aircrafts which had been spreading water across the fires had been grounded due to the rising winds. “We need your prayers,” she added.
