The fan wrote: “Then there was the LGBTQ anthem he gave us in 2022 but ya’ll kinda slept. Either way.. hate that Khalid was forced out but he wasn’t ‘hiding’ it. He just didn’t need to TELL nobody.”

The Dominican American rapper then seemingly confirmed he was referring to Khalid as he posted a selfie of the two of them cuddling.

Hope you’re doing okay.” One more added: “Here’s to being able to live authentically as yourself and who you were born to be. We love you, Khalid. Welcome to the cool kids club. Keep inspiring.”

Khalid rose to fame with his 2016 debut single, Location, and the following yet he released his debut studio album, American Teen. In August this year, Khalid released his third studio album, Sincere, which debuted in the top 10 of Billboard’s Top R&B Albums chart in its first week.

Mark told TMZ that he was at Chuck’s home in Texas when his friend said he wasn’t feeling well and went to lie down. He said a short time later, Chuck came back to the room saying he was having trouble breathing.

Despite calling the emergency services, Chuck didn’t make it, his friend added. Chuck began his career as a singer before hosting popular shows including Wheel of Fortune, Love Connection, Scrabble and Lingo. He also worked as an actor and appeared in The Treasure of Jamaica Reef and Love, American Style.

In 1981, Chuck left Wheel of Fortune and Pat Sajak took over the job. He teamed up with Mark in 2014 for their podcast and became a full supporter of Donald Trump, while arguing that minorities don’t need civil rights and causing a firestorm by tweeting an anti-Semitic comment linking Soviet Communists to Judaism.

He was active online and often retweeted articles from Conservative Brief. In the early stages of the Covid-19 pandemic, Chuck initially accused medical professionals and Democrats of lying about the virus to try and hurt the economy and Trump’s chances to be re-elected to the White House.

He always presented himself as a genuinely good man. I’m so very sorry for you, losing your brother. You’ll see him again.”

Someone else said: “Oh no! I’m so sorry! He will be missed. Such a wise and kind man. Praying for you and family and friends to have peace in your time of loss. RIP Chuck Woolery, legend! Earth’s loss, Heaven’s gain.”

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.

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.”

Much-loved Strictly Come Dancing judge Shirley Ballas appeared on Monday’s Loose Women and opened up about her health struggle that ‘so many women suffer from, but is considered taboo’

Strictly Come Dancing’s Shirley Ballas has opened up about a secret health battle that has left her suffering for years.

The head judge, 64, joined the Loose Women on Monday (November 18) and spoke about her struggle with bladder leaks that have left her not “drinking while in the studio”.

Shirley has become an ambassador for a campaign promoting pelvic floor exercises while encouraging women to seek help when experiencing leaks after she was advised not to talk about the issue when she was younger.

Opening Shirley’s interview, host Christine Lampard said: “Here on Loose Women, we never shy away from taboo topics, so today we are marking bladder health month and discussing bladder leaks.”

Wanting to share their personal experience, Shirley, 64, explained: ” I feel like bladder leaks a little bit of a taboo subject that no one wants to talk about. I think it is important for women to do their pelvic floor exercises and understand it should be a part of our daily routine.

“Being a dancer, I do them all the time; I have learned how to do them. But when I was giving birth, and I was pregnant, particularly during menopause, I struggled with that, bladder leaks.”

Shirley added, “I talked to my mum about it, and my mother’s generation, it is a taboo subject; she doesn’t want to talk about it. In fact, when she knew I was coming this morning, I hope you’re watching, mother, she was like, ‘Oh dear, you can’t talk about that!’

“But I think it is a subject heading and when you have a job on the TV, if you have a platform and you can help the ladies out, then for me its extremely important.”

Christine chimed in: “What is interesting is that we see you and what you do in such a physical job, and you wouldn’t have assumed this was something you were quietly having to battle behind the scenes. It’s something you have to think about; it changes the way you work potentially.”

Shirley replied: “Well, it does. I don’t drink fluids. I don’t drink water at all if I’m travelling or I’m in the studio. But I think most women, if you sneeze, for example, if you laugh, particularly at 64 years of age, and now I’m noticing it even more.

“I thought let me do this subject heading, let me get everybody engaged with doing their pelvic floor and understanding that it’s extremely important we talk about, share and don’t suffer in silence.”

PRINCE Harry’s mental health organisation has been branded “Toxic AF” by ex-staff and clients, who have alleged a “poisonous environment” behind the scenes. As accusations of hypocrisy and even bullying within the group emerge, the Duke of Sussex — who has in recent years become a high-profile and vocal champion of mental health issues — is now facing scrutiny that calls into question his bona fides as an advocate for change.

Hearings have already highlighted a toxic work environment, as several ex-employees stepped forward to tell the story of the troubled organization. The insiders had painted a system where the work environment was anything but supportive with excessive bullying, comfortless reverse before complaints, and a lack of empathy from upper management. Some have even labeled the atmosphere as “bullying,” a bitter irony for a group meant to champion mental well-being.

One ex-staff member described the culture as “incredibly high-pressure,” stating, “It felt like the values they promoted publicly were completely different from what we faced daily.” Others have echoed similar sentiments, accusing leadership of fostering an environment of fear and favoritism.

### Disillusioned Clients Speak Out

Adding to the controversy, several former clients have also expressed disappointment with the services provided. They allege a lack of genuine care and follow-through, claiming the organization prioritizes its public image over real, meaningful support. “I felt like I was just another number,” one client revealed, “They promised help, but I felt abandoned when I needed it most.”

### A Blow to Harry’s Reputation?

For Prince Harry, this controversy couldn’t come at a worse time. As a vocal advocate for mental health awareness, he has built much of his public image on championing causes related to emotional well-being. These accusations, if proven true, could severely undermine his credibility and call into question the authenticity of his commitment.

Critics are already pouncing on the irony, pointing out that Harry has been quick to criticize the British royal family for perceived lack of support while allegedly failing to ensure his own organization lives up to its promises. Some royal watchers believe this could further strain Harry’s relationship with the public and his standing within the mental health community.

### Damage Control in Progress?

In response to the mounting allegations, representatives for Prince Harry have remained tight-lipped, but sources suggest damage control efforts are underway. Insiders claim an internal investigation may be launched to address the complaints and restore the organization’s tarnished reputation.

### What’s Next for Harry?

The road ahead could be challenging for Prince Harry as he navigates this scandal. Whether he can salvage his reputation and the credibility of his mental health advocacy remains to be seen. One thing is certain: this latest controversy has cast a long shadow over his efforts, and the world is watching closely to see how he responds.

Will Prince Harry address these shocking allegations head-on, or will the weight of these claims prove too much for his already embattled image? Time will tell if the Duke of Sussex can weather this storm or if this marks a turning point in his public journey.

Catherine, Princess of Wales stunned the British public when she announced that would be leaving a much loved royal family. The online grapevine ran wild as commentators and devotees alike wondered what the whole sudden fixing of Prince William and Catherine could mean.

However, in private it is claimed that a revolutionary sea change is coming.  While the palace remains tight-lipped, insiders claim that the couple may be preparing for a transformative chapter in their lives—one that could reshape the future of the monarchy.

### Rumors of a Move?

Some speculate that the announcement might involve the couple’s potential relocation. With King Charles’s health under scrutiny, there are whispers that William and Catherine could take on more significant responsibilities, possibly moving closer to Buckingham Palace. This would signify their readiness to step into even larger roles as the future King and Queen Consort.

### Expanding the Family?

Another prevailing theory centers around a possible expansion of their family. Catherine has previously expressed her love for children, sparking rumors that the couple could be expecting another addition to their already charming family of five. Such news would certainly capture the hearts of royal fans worldwide.

### A Strategic Shift?

Alternatively, the announcement may relate to their royal duties. As modern representatives of the crown, William and Catherine could be unveiling a groundbreaking initiative or a strategic shift in their focus, particularly concerning their charitable efforts. Given their passion for mental health, early childhood development, and environmental causes, a major new project would be in line with their public service ethos.

### The Public’s Reaction

No matter what the shocking announcement entails, one thing is clear: William and Catherine continue to command the attention and admiration of the public. Their every move is watched closely, and this latest revelation is no exception.

Stay tuned, as the world waits for the full details behind Catherine’s surprising announcement. One thing is certain: the future of the royal family has never been more intriguing!

Meghan Markle believes recent action against her was carefully planned, accuses Princess Kate of ‘intervening’ to ruin her reputation

Meghan Markle’s New Products Coincide with Kate Middleton’s Appearance

Meghan Markle recently launched two new products from her lifestyle brand, American Riviera Orchard, just before Kate Middleton’s return to public duty at the Trooping the Colour ceremony. This timing sparked online speculation that Meghan was intentionally trying to overshadow Kate.

However, PR expert Lynn Carratt believes the timing was purely coincidental. “There wasn’t any malice involved in Meghan sending out some jam and dog treats from her brand,” Carratt told the Mirror.

Friend Shares Products, Not Meghan

It’s important to note that Meghan herself didn’t directly announce the products. A friend, Nacho Figueras, shared photos of the jam and dog biscuits on his Instagram account. Meghan likely had no control over the timing of this post.

Kate’s Return After Treatment

Princess Kate’s much-anticipated public appearance came after a period of privacy while she underwent cancer treatment. Her return was a major event for royal fans, and some were critical of the seemingly coincidental timing of Meghan’s product launch.

No Overshadowing Intended

Despite the online chatter, Carratt maintains that Meghan’s brand launch didn’t overshadow Kate’s return. The focus remained on Kate’s appearance and her health.

The Takeaway

While the timing might have raised eyebrows, it appears to be a case of unfortunate coincidence rather than a deliberate attempt by Meghan to steal the spotlight.
