A catalogue from an auction of Princess Diana‘s dresses that was held just two months before her death is expected to sell for up to £5,000 later this month.

The auction took place on June 25, 1997 – just weeks before the royal passed away following a car crash in the Pont de l’Alma tunnel in Paris, France.

The limited edition book from the event – where more than 79 designer gowns raised £2.57 million for charity – is expected to fetch between £3,000 to £5,000.

Purple, Moroccan leather-bound guides were created for the sale, which soon became a collector’s item.

The 250 books were all signed and personally numbered by Princess Diana and she also inscribed that the ‘wonderful’ gathering was inspired by her son Prince William, who was 15 at the time.

It comes after it was revealed last year that Princess Diana’s iconic ‘revenge dress’ is set to go up for auction early this year.

Worn by Diana on the same evening that the then-Prince of Wales admitted adultery on national television in June 1994, the custom-made replica of the black, off-the-shoulder dress by London-based designer Christina Stamboulian is likely to fetch between £,8,000 and £12,000.

Left Bank Pictures, the production company behind the historical drama, is selling the objects at Bonhams in February.

Taking place in London on Wednesday, February 7, the sale will come after the sixth and final series of the popular Netflix show has aired.

The first half of the sixth series of The Crown, covering the period from Diana’s death in 1997 up until the marriage of Charles and Camilla Parker Bowles in 2005, was released on Thursday, while the second part will follow on December 14.

Ryan Reynolds and David Beckham had the ultimate #lads #banter #nsfw exchange on Instagram, and fans are absolutely loving it.

The bromance has been around for a while, with the pair sharing social media exchanges since 2018 and starring in a Deadpool 2 trailer later that same year.

And now, some might even say they’re flirting on Instagram in new comments, after David made a tongue in cheek remark on Ryan’s latest post.

The actor was telling his 36.9million followers about the 100 bottles of his Aviation Gin that he had recently signed.

“I signed 100 bottles of @AviationGin for the Liquor Control Board of Ontario,” he put in the caption.

“Weird name for a person but tbh if that were my name, I’d drink that much too. #LCBO.”

David commented on the post, “Wow that’s a sore wrist if ever I saw one 😂.”

Ryan then responded, “I’ve intensely trained my wrist since I was 15. Wait… what are we talking about?”

Can we get a ‘hell yeah’ for the lads lads lads?

This isn’t the first time David Beckham has communicated with a famous friend on Instagram recently. Back in June 2020, he wore a Friends t-shirt out on a walk with wife Victoria, and Matthew Perry posted about it.

The scene was from the episode The One Where No One’s Ready from season three, where Joey puts on all of Chandler’s clothes. Chandler aka Matthew Perry spotted the picture and re-posted it to his own account, alongside the caption, “This guy has really good taste. Whoever that is.”

It didn’t take long for Beckham to reply, commenting on the Perry’s post, “Yes @cruzbeckham got me the shirt but could I be wearing anymore clothes 😂”.

Christmas came early for Victoria Beckham and David Beckham this year!

In an Instagram post on Saturday, Victoria, 49, shared a carousel of photos featuring David, 48, and their children Cruz, 18, Brooklyn, 24, and Harper, 12.

Their son Romeo, 21, who plays soccer for Brentford F.C., was not present in the photo.

But Brooklyn’s wife, Nicola Peltz Beckham, smiled in the photo alongside her mother-in-law and young sister-in-law.

In the family photo session, Nicola and Harper wore matching red buffalo plaid pajamas

and white tank tops while Brooklyn and David matched in a similar set of black pajama pants and white shirts.

Victoria and Cruz chose to stand out from the crowd. He wore an all-white outfit while his mom posed in the middle of the picture wearing a set of black and white silk pajamas.

Everyone donned a red and white Santa hat except Cruz, and Brooklyn and David held glasses of white wine.

“Santa came early in Miami!!! 🎄x I love u all so much xxxx @davidbeckham @brooklynpeltzbeckham @cruzbeckham @nicolaannepeltzbeckham #harperseven we miss u @romeobeckham xx,” Victoria captioned the photos, set in front of a Christmas tree decorated with white lights and filled with presents underneath it.

In her Instagram Story on Saturday, Victoria shared a behind-the-scenes photo of David during the casual family photo session. “Keeping it real with the ice bucket,” she captioned a picture of David sitting in front of a table with white wine on it.

Most of the Beckhams are having quite the whirlwind holiday season together. On Thursday, Victoria shared a video of herself dancing on the beach in the Bahamas with her daughter-in-law on her Instagram Story.

“Love you @nicolaannepelrzbeckham,” she wrote on top of the clip, adding, “We hadn’t drunk much at all!” Nicola responded, “Love you!! 😂🩷,” when she shared the video on her own Instagram Story.

Nicola has also been sharing glimpses into the family vacation on her Instagram page. She recently posted pictures of the family having fun on the beach in the Bahamas.

Victoria Beckham has attempted to set the record straight about her diet after her husband David Beckham revealed she’d been eating “the same thing for the last 25 years”.

Earlier this year, the former footballer revealed that Victoria has “rarely deviated” from her favourite dish of grilled fish and steamed vegetables since he’s known her.

“I get quite emotional about food and wine, when I’m eating something great I want everyone to try it,” he told the River Cafe Table 4 podcast.

“Unfortunately I’m married to someone that has eaten the same thing for the last 25 years.

Since I met Victoria, she only eats grilled fish, steamed vegetables, she will very rarely deviate away from there.”

In a new interview with Vogue Australia via The Australian, Victoria jokingly accused her husband of making her sound “boring”,

insisting she was simply very “disciplined” when it comes to her diet.

“I mean, talk about making me sound boring!” she told the fashion magazine.

“No. What he meant is that he’s never met anyone who’s more disciplined with the way that they eat. I eats lots of healthy fat: fish, avocado, nuts, that sort of thing. I do drink alcohol, unless I have a reason not to. I’ll detox from anything for three to six months where I won’t drink.

“I’m quite extreme in anything I do, whether it’s eating or working out or drinking or not drinking.”

Posh also revealed her exercise routine, which involves regular pilates, runs for 30-minutes uphill on a treadmill, and “gruelling one-hour weights sessions”.

In the same interview, Victoria called out British TV and radio presenter Chris Evans for weighing her on live TV in the late nineties just two months after she’d given birth to her son, Brooklyn.

Recalling the moment, Victoria said: “I went on a TV show with Chris Evans many years ago and I’d just had Brooklyn and lost a lot of weight after.

“It happened to my mum after her pregnancies. It doesn’t mean you have an eating disorder. And he made me stand on the scales to be weighed.

Romeo Beckham and Mia Regan appear to be back on weeks after they announced that they had split up.

In pictures obtained by OK! Online, the couple were snapped walking hand-in-hand during a shopping trip in west London.

Beckham, who is the second eldest son of retired England footballer David Beckham and ex Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer Victoria Beckham,

announced on Instagram that he and Regan had called it quits less than three weeks ago after a five-year relationship.

Uploading a picture of him and Regan pully funny faces at each other he wrote: “Mooch and I have parted ways after 5 years of love.

We still have a lot of respect for each other, and still hold a strong friendship and always will.”

Regan also shared a selfie together as she joked that they had “friendzoned each other” after five years.

She penned: “This is Ro, we have grown up with each other since we were 16!! Love takes different forms & paths as you mature. We aren’t together romantically but we do share lots & lots of love for one another… after 5 years we friendzoned each other hehe.”

The Brentford FC footballer and model first began dating in 2019 and share matching tattoos.

News that they had split came as a surprise as they had not long moved in together after engagement rumours surfaced last year. A source told the Mirror at the time: “Romeo and Mia had a fallout… they aren’t together at the moment.

“Mia has apparently moved out of the place they shared and is staying with her parents.

“They’ve split up in the past and got back together again, but this time it feels more serious – Mia moving out obviously points to it being more than just a tiff.”

Penny Lancaster, who is married to Sir Rod Stewart, returned to the Loose Women panel on Thursday afternoon as she was reunited with her co-stars

Penny’s admission came after Kaye Adams mentioned her daughter’s graduation, leading them to chat about their children growing up.

Sunetra Sarker chimed in, admitting that she’s in denial about her own kids heading off to university this summer.

Kaye then directed the conversation towards Penny, asking: “You’re in the same boat though, aren’t you?”

Penny, 53, confirmed as she replied: “Alastair is waiting for his A Level results but he’s been given an offer at the fashion academy, the Jimmy Choo Academy in London.”

Penny, who shares Alastair and their younger son Aiden with rock legend Rod Stewart, delved into details about Alastair’s future studies, telling ITV viewers he’s set to embark on a three-year degree in fashion, design, entrepreneurship, and branding, reports the Express.

She fondly recalled: “Liam got married to Nicole, he made the most incredible, heartfelt speech, he performed it like- I was just so proud of him. I was like, ‘That’s a man’.”

The audience erupted in applause at Penny’s heartfelt words, while her fellow panellists looked on admiringly, clearly moved by Alastair’s coming-of-age moment.

Fans were over the moon to see Penny back on the ITV show, with one viewer saying: “Great to see Sunetra and Penny back after so long and always great having Kaye and Judi too. Can’t wait.”

Penny had been absent from the show since January, despite being a staple since 2014, leading fans to miss her presence.

Her sporadic appearances have not gone unnoticed by the audience, who have seen less of her over time.

A source revealed to Daily Mail regarding her frequent no-shows: “It is obvious that Penny is no longer a regular panellist. This is purely due to other professional and personal commitments.”

The insider added: “Penny loves the show and LW loves Penny. But such appearances as she is able to make in the future will be as a guest.”

Loose Women star Linda Robson might have a new career up her sleeve as she made a frank confession about selling online content to willing punters during the ITV programme

Linda Robson made a hilarious admission on ITV’s Loose Women as she joked that she’s considering selling saucy snaps online.

The 66-year-old appeared on Friday’s daytime show alongside Kaye Adams, Jane Moore and Katie Piper where they discussed a range of topics. During the show, Kaye asked the women their thoughts on showcasing and selling raunchy photos online after it was reported that Team GB star Jack Laugher had joined a pay-per-view website to sell topless pics.

Due to Jack’s photos causing controversy online, Kaye asked whether the ladies would consider a similar route and whether Olympian Jack could still be a role model to young fans. Linda replied: “Well I might be going on Only Nans!”

As the audience roared with laughter, she then reflected on some of Jack’s pics and added: “I don’t find anything offensive about those photographs!” Kaye then said: “Can I just say, I have seen other photographs that are more sexualised.”

Linda Robson joked that she would join a raunchy website

Linda quipped: “What website is that on then?” She then confessed that she wouldn’t mind “paying a fiver” to see the diver’s saucy content online.

But later on, Linda confessed that she wouldn’t actually want to have herself out there online “in that way”. She also mentioned that she wouldn’t be happy if her children joined a website like OnlyFans.

Kaye quizzed Linda on her new career
The news comes after sports star Jack admitted he had turned to OnlyFans to support his income. A subscription to his page costs $10 (£7.77) per month, meanwhile an annual subscription comes at a reduced rate of £80.

However the 29-year-old insists there are no nude pictures of himself on the website. He also mentioned that other members of the team had also followed suit, including Noah Williams, who will partner Tom Daley in the 10-metre platform synchro diving competition in this year’s Olympics.

He said: “I try and make extra money. I’ve got something people want and I’ll happily cash in on that. I’m a bit of a hustler and I want a bit more money if I can.

“I was the first person to do it in our team. Dad was saying to me, ‘you put stuff on Instagram for free but when the product is free, like Instagram is, you are the product. So now I’m giving people stuff which is very similar to what I post online but it’s for a small subscription fee.”

Loose Women fans were left divided as they watched the panel interview Jonathan Meijer, the sperm donor at the centre of a shocking new Netflix docuseries The Man with 1000 kids

Loose Women viewers were left fuming after an interview with sperm donor Jonathan Meije descended into chaos on the show.

Kaye Adams, Katie Piper, Linda Robson and Jane Moore formed the panel this Friday (July 26) and dived into a range of hot topics before inviting Jonathan for a virtual sit-down.

The Dutch sperm donor, who has been embroiled in controversy for fathering over 500 children and allegedly duping families, joined the conversation to shed light on his side of the story.

Despite the title, The Man with 1000 Kids, which hit Netflix earlier this month, Jonathan claims his progeny tally stands at 550, not the thousand as suggested by the series.

However, the interview took a turn for the worse as Jonathan repeatedly talked over the panellists, leading to visible frustration during their probe into the contentious documentary, reports the Express.

As the episode unfolded, disgruntled fans didn’t hesitate to express their outrage online. One viewer blasted the segment on X, formerly known as Twitter, writing: “Nah Loose Women, this is the worst interview I’ve ever seen. All four women don’t know how to interview. How can you ask a sperm doner why he doesn’t take care of his kids #loosewomen”.

Another viewer chimed in: “Am I missing something? Surely he only donated to women who had requested donation? #loosewomen.”

A third person criticised the show, tweeting: “The @loosewomen interview with the Dutch sperm donor was terrible. They almost condemned this man for helping 550 women have children. And said he’s a ‘dad without the responsibilities’? What a joke. If nobody wanted to be a donor. Men would be the bad guys. #loosewomen”.

Jonathan previously said that he voluntarily stopped donating sperm to new recipients back in 2019. He made this decision partly because he wants to concentrate on having his own kids.

Jonathan has been embroiled in controversy for fathering over 500 children (

ITV)Fast forward four years, and a Dutch court ordered him to cease donating sperm, destroy any stored by clinics, and reportedly slapped him with a €100,000 fine for any future violation, although it does allow for mothers who want biological siblings for their donor children.

Meijer declined to participate in The Man with 1000 Kids as he believes it’s not in the best interest of the donor children. “I think it’s really capitalising on these families, who were infertile or just wanted to have families,” he says.

“They’re good people, lovely people, and now people will ask them: ‘Oh, is your child one from the 1,000 donor doc? ‘ Is the doc going to do any good for the children? ‘.”

Former glamour model Katie Price has been confusing fans with pictures of baby twins shared on her social media page

Katie Price has been confusing fans with her posts about newborn twins, with many wondering if she’s now a mother of seven.

The former glamour model, 46, already has Harvey Price, 22, Junior and Princess Andre, 19 and 17, and Jett and Bunny Hayler, 11 and 10. She has been open about her desire to have more children in recent years. Over the summer, Katie revealed how she’d experienced three failed rounds of IVF in the past year.

This month, Katie’s followers were left confused by the picture of the two infants and some even jumped to the wrong conclusion altogether. The photo shows one baby dressed in pink and the other in grey, but she didn’t reveal their identities. With Katie’s hand tenderly placed upon them, yet their faces out of view, speculation is rife over who these infants could be, especially since they are not related to her sister Sophie, who is expecting a single baby girl.

She hasn’t revealed who the babies are, but has been sharing cryptic posts. A few days after sharing her initial post, Katie returned to her Instagram Stories, which she captioned: “Evening cuddles with my boy.” In the photo, Katie is wearing a black jumper and has her hair tied up as she holds the baby in her arms. The little boy is wearing a blue outfit paired with a beanie hat.

On 28 October, Katie posted yet another photo, this time with the mystery baby girl. In the snap, she was cradling the baby to her chest while she was getting her hair done by a stylist. Katie looked happy as she held onto the girl. The star made sure to cover the baby’s face with a heart emoji.

“Multitasking with my baby girl,” she captioned. Although it is not confirmed, it is believed the baby images have been shared as the mum is set to feature in a new documentary. With Katie’s hand tenderly placed upon the twins on her previous post, there has been a lot of speculation over who these infants could be, especially since they are not related to her sister, Sophie.

Fans have been trying to guess whether they’re her children or someone else’s (

She recently posted a picture of with her ‘baby girl’ (

Katie, who has not been shy about her desire to have another child, once confidently asserted: “It’s going to happen one way or another.” It’s already been a long journey for Katie, who went through a fertility battle supported by her then-boyfriend Carl Woods before their split at the end of 2023.

She had three rounds of unsuccessful IVF treatment but hopes to have a baby with her new partner, JJ Slater. It was recently revealed that her past attempts and the emotional rollercoaster of trying to have another child with Carl is set to be revealed on television screens next year. A bombshell documentary titled ‘ Katie Price : Making Babies’ will air on Channel 4, it has been confirmed.

Stacey Solomon has taken to Instagram to share her family’s adorable Sunday morning antics, telling fans that husband Joe Swash is “trying” to get her pregnant

Stacey Solomon has hinted that she might be ready to expand her brood after watching her husband Joe Swash’s playful antics with their children.

The Loose Women presenter, who is already a mum of five, regularly shares snippets of her idyllic family life at Pickle Cottage with her six million Instagram followers. Stacey and Joe, who tied the knot in 2022, are parents to Rex, four, Rose, two, and one year old Belle.

Stacey also has sons Leighton, 12, and Zachary, 16, from previous relationships, while Joe has a son Harry, 16, with his ex-partner Emma Sophocleous. However, it seems the couple may be considering adding another member to their adorable clan. In a recent Instagram post, Stacey shared a video of Joe amusing their three youngest kids by chasing them around their beautiful patio with a pool cleaner.

Alongside a clip of Joe chasing their children with a pool cleaner on their stunning patio, Stacey added: “A great attempt at trying to get me pregnant again,” followed by two more laughing emojis, reports OK!.

Earlier this year, Stacey expressed her contentment with her rural lifestyle in Essex, telling the Mirror that she prefers being at home to going out partying. “I love coming home. My favourite part of the day is getting excited about coming home to Pickle Cottage, where I live with my husband Joe and five kids,” she said.

“Actually, my favourite thing in the world is getting on the sofa. And first the dogs, then all the pickles follow along, piling on top of me. Just laying with them, watching TV, having cuddles and being together… it’s where I belong. I know all too well there’ll be a day when they’d rather play the PlayStation, so I’m making the most of these moments.”

He added: “We’re at number six now. The baby bit goes so fast, and then before you know it, they’re toddlers then you yearn for babies again. We’re slightly addicted to babies it’s so nice to be needed. You think, ‘Six has to be it,’ but I’d never say never. They’re only babies for three or four years before Stacey starts wanting another one, so I have to make the most of it now!”

Joe laughed, but then became serious as he added: “I like to be hands-on. They’re only going to be kids for a short amount of time, so me and Stacey are just trying to make the most of it.”
