Despite a ten-year age gap, Cruz Beckham showed that his romance with Brazilian singer Jackie Apostle is stronger than ever as they enjoyed an amorous shopping trip in Beverly Hills on Tuesday.

The youngest son of David and Victoria Beckham, 19, leaned in for a kiss with the stunning star, 30, as they headed out for a spot of retail therapy in California.

Jackie, who bears a striking resemblance to Cruz’s famous mother, opted for a stylish black midi dress with a midi skirt and a chain belt.

Foregoing a pair of heels, she opted for a pair of simple ballet flats during the outing, where she indulged in a few treats from the iconic beauty shop Sephora.

Cruz cut a casual figure in a relaxed white graphic T-shirt, teamed with black cargo trousers and slip-on suede shoes.

He and Jackie made the most of their cosy outing by enjoying a kiss or two while splashing the cash on designer treats.

It also comes just days after Cruz’s brother Romeo finally confirmed that he was dating photographer Gray Sorrenti, with a loved-up outing in NYC.

Gray is also from a famous family and daughter of fellow fashion photographer  Mario Sorrenti, 52, who’s best known for shooting Kate Moss‘ iconic Calvin Klein Obsession ads back in the 90s.

Romeo has been linked to several women in recent weeks after emerging back on the dating scene, and was first spotted with Gray amid Paris Fashion Week last month.

Just days earlier, Romeo was pictured sneaking out of a boozy Fashion Week party in London with Amelia Gray Hamlin – the daughter of US TV star Lisa Rinna and actor Harry Hamlin.

Cruz is believed to have been dating Jackie since June, and appeared loved up as they supported his mother Victoria at her Paris Fashion Week show last month.

It comes just days after MailOnline revealed that Cruz’s former girlfriend Bby Ivy claimed the aspiring musician ‘cheated’ her in a bombshell social media video.

Norwegian singer Bby Ivy, real name Viktoria Reitan, posted a video of the pair kissing on TikTok, while Cruz was strumming a guitar, alongside a caption which read: ‘This is how we were together and he still cheated.’

Underneath the video, Bby Ivy, who has nearly 60,000 followers on TikTok, received support from fans who left comments on the short video. One wrote: ‘I’m sorry baby,’ while another added: ‘You deserve the world and more.’

The video was reposted by another of Cruz’s ex-girlfriends Issey Moloney, who she appears to have found solidarity with and befriended in the wake of their split.

Another video shared on Issey’s page shows Bby Ivy and Issey on a night out together, alongside the caption: ‘When he thought you would never find out about each other but now you’re best friends.’

David Beckham has revealed that the perception his career off the field came second to his one on it ‘does hurt a little bit’.

Beckham is one of the greatest players England has ever produced, captaining the side, and came second in the Ballon d’Or vote in 1999, the year he won a treble with Manchester United.

The 49-year-old is regarded as one of the most accurate crossers of a ball and was renowned for his dead ball abilities – skills which saw him become the first Englishman to win titles in four different countries.

Beckham was appearing the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast when he was asked his former team-mate about the view that his football career comes secondary to his celebrity profile.

‘I can’t lie, it does hurt a little bit,’ Beckham admitted. ‘Because over the years, it’s probably been talked about more than often, about obviously that side of things for me.

‘But I suppose it was always going to be mentioned at some point because obviously, I had obviously the career that I had had, but then I had something outside of my football as well that wasn’t as important as the football, but now it’s what I do.

‘So I knew that at some point when I finished playing, I was going to move into the business side of things and the things that I did during my career would help that side of my business, and it has. So I’m very lucky, but obviously, I’d rather people turn around and say that he was a great player, or a great person, or won what I’d won.

‘But I think people are still starting to talk more like that. I think the documentary that I did recently reminded people maybe of the player that I was.’

Beckham was one of the first high-profile players to truly embrace the idea of modelling contracts, brand deals and sponsorships beyond football, partnering with Brylcreem in 1997 in a deal worth around £4million.

His marriage to Spice Girls singer Victoria further enhanced his celebrity status beyond his exploits on the pitch, and the two become one of the most famous couples in the country.

With his growing profile off the field, the demands from sponsors and brands also increased, which inevitably many would view as having an impact on his playing career.

However the former England skipper insists that none of his ventures outside of his playing career did affect his game.

Beckham insisted that his brand deals beyond the playing field did not impact on his career

‘I think that I always look for the future. Is this a good deal?… those are the things I look at. Is this brand good for me? Is it good for my business? And is it going to affect my football? And that’s the first question I’d ask. Is it going to affect my football?’ he added.

‘And none of them did. None of the deals that I did over my career, you know, affected me on the pitch. You know, people talked about it. did it affect me? No.’

Since hanging up his boots, Beckham has remained involved in football, forming his own Major League Soccer franchise, Inter Miami.

The Florida-based side have signed some of the European game’s all-time greats in the last 18 months, including Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, Sergio Busquets and Jordi Alba.

Manchester United icon David Beckham has named his ultimate 5-a-side team of stars he played with during his glittering career.

The former England captain represented some of the biggest clubs in world football including Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and PSG.

Beckham was appearing on the Rio Ferdinand Presents podcast, and was asked to put together his dream team by his old team-mate.

Starting with the defence, Beckham opted for a back two of Roberto Carlos and Paolo Maldini before picking Zinedine Zidane in midfield as he waxed lyrical about the Frenchman after playing alongside him at Madrid.

‘He’s not just one of the greatest players that I’ve ever played with, one of the hardest trainers, and also just cool,’ Beckham said of Zidane.

‘He’s just cool, you know, without trying. You play him a ball anywhere on the pitch, any height, any level, any speed, he’d bring it down like it was just one of those things that he does.

‘People literally used to turn up at the Bernabeu to watch him just control a ball. Because it was like watching a ballerina, just the way he plays is so elegant. Everything about him, he’s elegant.’

Another former Madrid star was chosen to lead the line as Beckham went with the Brazilian Ronaldo, revealing he was left in awe of the striker in training.

‘I think when you watch Ronnie play back in the day, I mean, he’s electrifying on every level,’ Beckham continued.

‘One of our first training sessions was in Korea, I think, or China, I’m not sure where we were at the time. And the ball had just been played across to him and all he had to do was put it in the goal. And as he’s played across to him, I’m trying to defend it.

Another Real Madrid icon, the Brazilian Ronaldo, was picked to lead the line by Beckham

‘So I’ve slid across and as I’m sliding across, I thought he was just gonna play it first time into the goal, and as I’m sliding across he just puts his foot on the ball, and as I’m sliding past he just watches me like that with the biggest smile on his face and he just taps it in and I was like oh god! Wow!’

It appeared Beckham was on the verge of naming a team without a single United player in it, despite spending over a decade at the club after rising through the academy as a member of the Class of ’92.

But Beckham managed to get a United legend into his side in the end, as he plumped for his former captain Roy Keane, hailing the standards that the Irishman set at Old Trafford.

‘You need a leader and you need someone that’s going to actually tackle and fight and be the player that he is, so I’m gonna have to say Keaney,’ Beckham said.

‘He took no day off, and I don’t mean in the physical sense of having a day off. I mean, every single day that he stepped on that training pitch, he wanted to win. He inspired us every single day because he came in with that mentality and we all knew that that’s what we have to cope with.

‘That’s the level that we have to reach and that’s why Keaney was who he was because he was a winner and he was hungry and he always wanted to win.’

Loose Women star Coleen Nolan made a cheeky jibe at the expense of her co-star Ruth Langsford following her lengthy absence from the ITV lunchtime show

Coleen Nolan made a cheeky comment about Ruth Langsford’s lengthy absence from Loose Women.

Ruth took some time away from the ITV lunchtime show earlier this year following her split from husband Eamonn Holmes. The pair had been married for decades but shockingly announced their split earlier this year.

In a joint statement, their spokespeople confirmed the split, sharing: “Ruth Langsford and Eamonn Holmes have confirmed their marriage is over and they are in the process of divorcing.”

Since then, Ruth has made her return to the panel show for a week or so before heading off for some pre-arranged time off. During a chat on today’s show, they were discussing what was coming up when Ruth couldn’t think of the word to explain what she was saying. Coleen quickly jumped in to say the word, with Ruth thanking her colleague. Coleen then made a cheeky jibe at Ruth’s absence from the show, where she said Ruth had been “off for a while”.

Ruth returned to Loose Women last month following her marriage split. In her first appearance on the show since the pair went their separate ways, she said: “Welcome to your first Loose Women of the week, it’s great to have your company!” whilst Coleen stepped in to say: “Can I just say? I am so so happy that you’re back!”

The entire audience cheered as Janet Street Porter said: “Thank god! Thank god! I was left with her and her!” before Ruth apologised and added: “I’m sorry, Janet. I won’t do it again,” as they all discussed her taking an extended break from the show.

Since then, they have discussed a number of topics – but nothing specifically about Eamonn. One of the topics they chatted about was distancing themselves from toxic friends. Introducing the segment, Ruth said: “A journalist said today that female friends are too toxic to bother with and she says that women can be too catty, overly sensitive and competitive over everything from marriage to body shape. Is she right?” as panellist Myleene Klass responded: “I think it’s so lazy to make that kind of comment. It’s just women being put against women and it’s never done to men. I couldn’t disagree more because my girlfriends are my absolute rock through divorce, miscarriage and everything. I call them my 4am because there are some girlfriends I know I can rely on to ring at 4am. I had one girlfriend who knocked on my door at 2am because she didn’t hear from me.”

Ruth then said: “We suffer it on Loose Women where people always try to say ‘Aw the Loose Women are always falling out’ or ‘you can’ all get on’. It’s almost as if people can’t accept that a woman can get along with a woman. I’m not saying there can’t be catty women, but there are also catty men and b****y men too.”

Myleene Klass broke down in tears on Loose Women today as she spoke about her best friend Lauren Laverne’s cancer diagnosis

Myleene Klass was in tears on Loose Women today as she spoke about her Lauren Laverne’s cancer diagnosis.

The Loose Women star was in tears as the panel started the show by discussing Lauren’s diagnosis. The One Show presenter and radio star shared a selfie from her hospital bed today, where she wrote: “I recently had a cancer diagnosis. It was (thank God) caught early and unexpectedly during a screening test and I am expected to make a full recovery. I ‘m in hospital at the moment and wanted to take this moment to say thank you: firstly to medical teams who have got me this far with incredible skill and kindness.

“To my family and friends who have been absolutely extraordinary every step of the way – I am so very grateful and love you so much. And of course thank you to my colleagues…. for their support and for giving me the time off that I need to get better.”

Lauren and Myleene are great friends
As she spoke at the start of the show, Myleene was clapped by the audience as she broke down in tears, with the panel reassuring her. She kept saying Lauren would be angry at her for crying, but she was just devastated to hear of her diagnosis.

“She’s gonna tell me off,” Myleene said, as she spoke of how brave her friend is. “She’s my best friend. I’m so glad we get to see what an incredible woman she is. But please get tested,” she said, urging others.

Lauren took to Instagram earlier today to urge others to get tested and not put off their appointments.

“If you’re avoiding a test or putting off an appointment to get yourself checked out please, please do it today. Half of us will get cancer at some point, and if you do, finding out asap is everything,” she said, “It’s usually my job to bring the good vibes on air but any you have to spare are very much welcome here. Sending loads of love to anyone in a similar boat, or who has made it back to shore.”

The pair have a close bond, with Myleene having previously opened up about how Lauren supported her through a devastating miscarriage while live on her Smooth Radio show. She recalled: “I went to the loo while the music was playing and there was blood everywhere. I didn’t know what to do. I had one hour left of my show. I rang Lauren and she said: “Do one link, take a breath, come out and call me. Lauren got me through. I did the next link and called her. We counted the links. I would go out, sob and come back in, take a deep breath and speak. I don’t know what I would have done [without her].”*If you have been affected by this story, advice and support can be found at the Miscarriage Association.

Local authorities in Argentina have confirmed that Liam Payne “jumped from the balcony” of his hotel room before falling to his death, according to reports

Authorities have confirmed the chilling details of One Direction star Liam Payne’s shocking death, revealing that he “jumped from the balcony” of his hotel room in Argentina, plunging to his death, reports indicate.

In an official statement given to The Associated Press, police authorities disclosed that the 31 year old singer “had jumped from the balcony of his room,” apparently dispelling any notions of an accidental fall or foul play. The devastating incident occurred during Payne’s holiday in Buenos Aires with girlfriend Kate Cassidy, which included supporting ex-bandmate Niall Horan at a concert.

A preliminary autopsy indicated Payne died from “multiple traumas” leading to “internal and external bleeding” as a result of the 40-foot descent from the third floor of the hotel. Responding to an emergency call made just after 5pm local time, authorities raced to the scene having been alerted to an “aggressive man who could be under the influence of drugs or alcohol,” as stated in the report to AP.

As the music world mourns, updates on Liam Payne’s sudden passing reveal the cause of death as his bereaved family speaks out. The investigation into Payne’s death intensifies with police on the lookout for a drug supplier following the discovery of narcotics in his hotel suite.

Before the catastrophe struck, staff at Hotel Casa Sur had desperately reached out to emergency services twice, the reception head underscored the urgency during one such plea: “We have a guest who’s off his head on drugs and is destroying everything in his room. We need someone to come.”

After the call cut off, an employee who later pinpointed Esteban rang again with an urgent plea: “I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger.” Continuing in worry, he said: “The room has a balcony and we are afraid he might do something. Just send an ambulance, only an ambulance.”

Tragically, despite the determined efforts of the hotel staff to prompt swift action, officers didn’t make it to the scene quickly enough to prevent Liam’s tragic demise. Post-mortem inquiries saw Liam’s hotel room turned over as police combed through, unearthing drug-related items now sent for analysis and a space thrown into chaos.

In what became a disturbing tableau, authorities found a wrecked TV, residue of white powder, an almost dry champagne flute, scattered fragments of burnt aluminium foil, and a charred soft drink can.

Probes into the musician’s untimely death forge ahead, with forensic toxicology and anatomical pathology slated to dissect blood and urine samples for hints of narcotics. And further delving into his medical past is set to shed light on the state of Liam’s mental health.

Alberto Crescenti, chief of Buenos Aires emergency medical services, revealed that Liam suffered an immediate death as a result of sustaining multiple injuries including a skull fracture. He detailed: “Our role was to head there quickly, give medical attention, and try to resuscitate him, but his injuries were incompatible with life. Based on what the team saw, there was apparently a cranial fracture and extremely serious injuries that led to his immediate death.”

Local authorities have now confirmed that Liam jumped from his balcony at the Casa Sur Hotel., with Pablo Policicchio, the communications director for the Buenos Aires Security Ministry, speaking to PEOPLE.

In a follow-up call, the employee added: “We need you to send someone urgently because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger. They must be in a room that has a balcony. And well, we’re a little bit worried he’ll do something, that he’ll put his life at risk.”

Local police previously confirmed that an investigation was underway to establish the circumstances surrounding the tragedy. Toxological and anatomical-pathological studies of blood and urine are being undertaken to determine any traces of drugs.

Pictures from onside Liam Payne’s deluxe suite show a smashed TV screen and traces of a white powder on a deskPolice found a bottle of whisky, a lighter, and a white powder in the room, as well as medications including clonazepam – which is used to treat epilepsy, panic disorders or involuntary muscle spasms – and energy pills.

A notebook and Liam’s passport were seized and handed over to investigators, who also seized a phone that may have belonged to the former One Direction singer.

From Hollywood A listers to daytime telly stars and Strictly contestants, plastering on a smile comes second nature to celebrities, but sometimes the mask can slip or at least look like it has

Celebrity life seems glamorous, but nothing is picture-perfect all the time – and sometimes the camera that stars are so used to performing in front of can capture some cringe-worthy moments.

And sometimes, things can be misconstrued and misinterpreted. Nevertheless, it’s always potentially very damaging to have a less-than-perfect-looking moment. Just ask Strictly stars Katya Jones and Wynne Evans; the two are currently on a whirlwind damage limitation PR exercise over social media, TV and radio – after two uncomfortable-to-watch incidents spotted by eagle-eyed Strictly viewers on Saturday night’s show.

The Mirror looks at the latest Strictly scandal and other less-than-perfect celebrity moments…

Katya Jones and Wynne Evans

Strictly viewers were in equal parts cringing and horrified by two hands-off moments caught on camera between Wynne Evans and Katya Jones. Firstly Strictly pro dancer Katya appeared to snub Go Compare star Wynne Evans giving him an eye roll when he approached her for a high five. A much more concerning moment came when standing behind Katya. Wynne’s hand appeared to move from her waist to her stomach, leading Katya to push it back to her waist.

Afterwards, the couple posted a video saying the Strictly high-five snub was a silly inside joke between them. On Sunday, Katya posted a solo video addressing the wandering hand. She said: “I need to make something crystal clear. “The hand incident that happened on Saturday night was a very silly inside joke between Wynne and I. So even the idea that it made me feel uncomfortable or offended in any way is complete nonsense. It’s actually absurd.”

On the Sunday nights results show, Wynne had his hands firmly behind his back throughout and appeared uncomfortable when he was told he and Katya had made it through to the next week.

Speaking on BBC Radio Wales, where he hosts a programme, Wynne explained: “I’m absolutely heartbroken by the things that have been written about me in the last day. It’s not nice to live in that time, but basically Katya and I are really, really close and we’re really good friends, and on Saturday night we made a stupid joke.

“It was a stupid joke that went wrong, OK? We thought it was funny. It wasn’t funny. It has been totally misinterpreted. Everything’s on Katya’s socials. She’s talked about it. She’s explained that it was a joke. She wasn’t offended in the least. She doesn’t feel uncomfortable.”

Katya Jones and Seann Walsh

Katya is no stranger to controversy. In 2018 she was photographed kissing her celebrity dance partner Seann Walsh on a night out.

She was married to fellow dance pro Neil Jones and the kiss was also captured on Seann’s then girlfriend Rebecca Humphries’ birthday. The shocked girlfriend wrote an open letter calling Seann out during their relationship, while Neil initially stood by his wife but they quietly separated just under a year later.

When Walsh took part in I’m A Celebrity four years later, he admitted he was destroyed by the scandal and that hardly anyone had bought tickets to his Edinburgh Fringe show the year after Strictly, saying: “My career was dead, I was over.”

Katya later said: “I’m happy to talk about it now – it doesn’t affect me, it doesn’t affect who I am. It was mental, and it took time to get over it but the way I came out of it, I am happy, and my ex-husband Neil and I have never been so close. Which I think says it all.”

Nicole 57, and Salma, 58, were standing alongside pop star Katy Perry when Salma turned toward Nicole, appearing to adjust her stance for more photos. Nicole, however, seemed to have had enough of the photo session, moving Salma’s hand away before kissing Katy goodbye and walking off.

Salma was standing with her husband, French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault whose company Kering owns Balenciaga, Bottega Veneta, Gucci, and Saint Laurent. While not directly addressing what happened, Salma took to social media to share a picture from the event and tagging Nicole.

Salma posted “Finally, last night, the grand finale of my Paris Fashion Week 2025… Balenciaga and Demna for a terrific show,” Salma wrote.

Judi Love and Lorraine Kelly

There seemed to be serious beef between comedian Judi Love and daytime telly royalty Lorraine Kelly at the BAFTA TV Awards earlier this year. Loose Women star Judi Love appeared to roll her eyes and look decidedly unimpressed manner while everybody else around her clapped Lorraine Kelly picked up a special award for her services to morning TV.

It appeared to viewers that Judi had refused to clap for Lorraine. The next day the ITV colleagues posted a video recreating and mocking Judi’s “side eye.”

Judi wrote: “After last night’s incident, this morning is becoming international news! I’d like to make an official statement, please watch till the end!!” Lorraine shared the video, writing: “Love you @1Judilove – what a lot of silliness – but it gave us both a laugh this morning xxxxx.”

Later Judi explained: “You know what, my dress was very tight, I was trying to sit like a lady. The camera was right there, I thought: ‘Okay, this is your moment’ you know it’s going to be on TV, so I just always get prepared.

“I was trying to be regal, the thing is, I stood up and gave Lorraine a standing ovation. They showed the bit with Andi standing up but missed me out, only showing me going…”

Harry Styles and Chris Pine

There were rumours of a cast feud on the set of Olivia Wilde’s film Don’t Worry Darling after a fallout between Olivia and lead actress Florence Pugh. Then Olivia’s boyfriend at the time, Harry Styles added fuel to the fire when when he appeared to “spit” on his co-star Chris Pine.

In the viral clip, Harry Styles walks up to take an empty seat next to Chris but not before pausing and glances at Chris’s lap. Chris then looks at his lap and shakes his head in disbelief. According to some commentators, it was because Harry had hawked up some shit and fired it over Chris.

Chris’ representatives called the rumour “a ridiculous story” and “a complete fabrication and the result of an odd online illusion that is clearly deceiving and allows for foolish speculation.”

Solange Knowles and Jay -Z

At the 2014 Met Gala, leaked security footage l showed Solange Knowles kicking and slapping her brother-in-law Jay-Z in the street as a bodyguard tried to hold her back, and Beyoncé looked on nonplussed.

The world’s press was there to see the trio exit the lift – looking unsurprisingly awkward – given what had just taken place. Beyoncé, Jay-Z and Solange issued a joint statement to address the “great deal of speculation about what triggered the unfortunate incident.”

“The most important thing is that our family has worked through it…Jay and Solange each assume their share of responsibility for what has occurred. They both acknowledge their role in this private matter that has played out in the public. They both have apologised to each other, and we have moved forward as a united family.”

Zac Efron

Not exactly ugly – just a tad inappropriate considering Zac was at a children’s movie premiere.

At the February 2012 The Lorax premiere, Zac was seen taking his hand out of his pocket to greet a fan. In doing so, the actor accidentally dropped a condom on the red carpet. He swept up the contraceptive immediately with a sheepish grin.

High School musical star Zac provided the voice for Theodore ‘Ted’ Wiggins, a 12-year-old boy who uncovers the story of the Lorax a mythical creature played by Danny DeVito in the film which highlighted environmental issues.

The then 24-year-old actor’s embarrassment was clear as he coughed and held his hand to his mouth, pausing to regroup after the mishap. This served as an apology enough.

In an interview with the Today show, he explained: “I never really had a pocket checking policy to prior to going onto the red carpet before, but now, we fully have instated one.” The interviewer replied, “You know, better to be safe than sorry!” Zac quipped back: “Yes. It’s a great message to add to the many messages in the film.”

Branded the’ ugliest moment in Oscars history’, no one’s picture perfect mask slipped on this occasion. At the the 2022 Academy Awards host Chris Rock made an ill-advised joke about actress Jada Pinket Smith’s alopecia.

Her unimpressed husband Will Smith – sitting alongside her – first appeared to laugh at the joke, then walked on stage and slapped the comedian before telling him: ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f**king mouth’.

Will went on to win Best Oscar for King Richard, where he played the father of tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams. He appeared to defend his actions in his acceptance speech apologising to the Academy and his fellow nominees before saying: ‘Love will make you do crazy things.’

The Independence Day star later resigned from the academy and said he had “betrayed the trust of the Academy” and was “heartbroken” over his actions.He added he would “fully accept any and all consequences for my conduct”.

The actor was given a ten-year ban from attending the Oscars. Chris did not press assault charges but has since joked: “ “Life is good. I got my hearing back.” The comedian also made Will and Jada the butt of several brutal jokes in his stand up tour last year.

From viral TikTok videos to a seat on the Loose Women panel, Grace Keeling – known online as GK Barry – has enjoyed a meteoric rise to fame, but she’s still not always been so confident.

Grace Keeling, the influencer phenomenon with nearly five million social media followers, has changed the influencer game under her viral handle GK Barry. Despite her online image exuding confidence, Grace revealed in an exclusive interview that she hasn’t always been this assured.

“I used to be really nervous, to do anything or talk to anyone – but everything that I’m doing is pushing me out of my comfort zone and building my confidence,” she admits candidly. The 25 year old’s ascent to fame began with TikTok stardom and has since seen her join the Loose Women panel, host a popular podcast where she interviews A-listers, and soon, take on a new presenting role at the Pride of Britain Awards red carpet event, reports OK!.

From brewing drinks at Costa Coffee to becoming a familiar face across British households, she shares that her unexpected journey into the limelight has fortified her sense of autonomy and community. Recounting her past anxiety struggles, Grace reflects, “When I first started this journey, I wouldn’t even get on public transport on my own. I wouldn’t really speak to people, I was just too nervous to do any of that. Now I’m hopping on the Tube on my own, I’m interviewing everyone under the sun… it’s really made me a lot more independent and confident. It’s all quite surreal,” she divulges.

Despite her success, she admits that she still occasionally battles with nerves. “I get imposter syndrome all the time, especially when I’m interviewing people I’ve grown up watching on telly. I’m just like, ‘How on earth have I got here? ‘ It really is mental.”,. she confesses.

To combat this, Grace jokes: “A glass of prosecco, that eases the nerves! But also, I just remind myself that I have every right to be here as well. It is truly a case of fake it until you make it for me.”

Earlier this year, Grace made history by becoming the youngest-ever panellist on Loose Women. Despite the shift from daily vlogs, she’s proven to be a natural fit for the ITV chat show and absolutely loves it.

“Oh my God, I love Loose Women! My mum is so happy that I’m doing it – she tells everyone. It’s such an amazing show to be a part of, because everyone’s so nice on it.”

She was initially concerned about how she would be received by the show’s audience, given her age and relative obscurity. “When I started Loose Women , I was very aware that most people who watch the show would have no clue who I am, so I did worry they wouldn’t get my sense of humour. But so far, touch wood, I’ve been received really well. I think people have been really welcoming of someone younger on the panel, offering different views and opinions.”

Her stint on the show has earned her a new fanbase too. “I’m getting the older generation coming up to me in Tesco and being like, ‘I saw you on Loose Women. ‘ I love it,” she chuckles.

Off the telly, Grace’s hit podcast, Saving Grace, has seen a host of celeb guests from Alison Hammond to Mark Wright. The project even took her on a country-wide tour with live podcast shows, including a sold-out gig at the London Palladium last year, which Grace says was when she realised she’d made it big. “The podcast is so amazing, I love it,” she gushes. When asked about her favourite guests, she responds, “Rob Beckett, Alison Hammond and Tana Mongeau – they’re my top three.”

While Grace’s life may already seem like a rollercoaster, on 21 October she’ll be interviewing star-studded attendees at the Pride of Britain Awards for the second consecutive year, something she’s eagerly anticipating.

“Three years ago, if someone had told me, ‘You’re going to be doing stuff on the Pride of Britain red carpet,’ I’d have been like, ‘Oh, I don’t know if I can do that.’ Now I love it,” she shares. “I’m not nervous, just excited. They’re building me a bar, so I’m going to feel very at home! I’m just going to have as much fun as possible, it’s an amazing place to be. Last year I was pulling people over left, right and centre. I had absolutely no decorum! ” Ambitious presenter Grace has grand plans for the future, confessing her dream is to be a mix of Stacey Dooley and Maya Jama.

She also draws inspiration from Olivia Attwood, who has presented a series of ITV documentaries. Grace reveals her television ambitions, saying: “I’d love to present a documentary, a bit like Olivia Attwood does. I think that would be amazing. I would do everything and anything when it comes to TV. Anyone who wants to snap me up, I’ll do it.”

The 2024 Pride of Britain Awards will be broadcast on ITV1 on Thursday, 24 October 2024 at 8pm

Liam Payne was outspoken about how the global fame of One Direction changed his life and affected his relationship with drugs and alcohol, once admitting: ‘I don’t know if I’ve hit rock bottom yet.’

The star, 31, fell from the third floor into the courtyard of the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires yesterday before medics confirmed his death.

Speaking to Stephen Bartlett on the Diary Of The CEO Podcast in 2021, Liam, admitted: ‘I was worried how far my rock bottom was going to be. Where’s rock bottom for me? And you would never have seen it. I’m very good at hiding it’.

‘I don’t even know if I have hit it yet. I can either make that choice now and pick my last moment as my rock bottom or I can make a whole new low.’

He admitted he had suffered for years with ‘social anxiety’ and ‘stress’ from being famous, and discussed the pressure his mental health was under while not having the freedom to go anywhere as a boyband member.

Heartbroken fans around the world pay tribute to Liam Payne

The Wolverhampton teenager first auditioned for the X Factor aged 14 before returning two years later when One Direction was formed.

They became one of the biggest pop groups in the world but six years after they were formed, with more than 20 million albums sold, the band were placed on indefinite hiatus.

The band have revealed how they went straight from The X Factor to stardom, with Liam recalling how his dad told him during the build up to the December X Factor final ‘don’t come home until Christmas the day that I left for the show and I never came home.’

Marking One Direction’s 10th anniversary in 2020, Payne shared a screenshot of a text message he sent to his father on the day he joined the group, reading: ‘I’m in a boyband.’

‘What a journey… I had no idea what we were in for when I sent this text to my dad years ago at this exact time the band was formed,’ he said.

Liam had in recent years talked about his journey to sobriety, and how his drinking began when the global mania for the boyband meant they were often stuck in hotel rooms, where alcohol was readily available.

He told Stephen Bartlett on the Diary Of The CEO Podcast: ‘It feels to me, like when we were in the band. The best way to secure us was to lock us in our rooms, and what is in the room? A mini-bar.

‘So I had a party-for-one that seemed to carry on for many years of my life, and then you look back at how long you’ve been drinking? And Jesus Christ that’s a long time, even for someone as young as I am.’

In multiple interviews Liam explained how he’d used alcohol to cope with both the massive success of One Direction and their subsequent split, telling Men’s Health Australia in 2019 that ‘it’s difficult when you have the level of fame that we had in the band.’

‘There have been a lot of people in trouble with mental health that aren’t really getting the help that they need, and I think that’s a bit of a problem in our industry,’

‘It’s the same s**t that happens to everyone, that’s been happening since the ’70s. You know what the traps are and if you are lucky enough, like me, to be able to get out of that scenario and back into a sense of normality, then you know it’s a bit different.’

Liam went onto compare going on stage and out in public to ‘putting the Disney costume on,’ admitting: ‘I was [drunk] quite a lot of the time because there was no other way to get your head around what was going on’.

‘I mean, it was fun. We had an absolute blast, but there were certain parts of it where it just got a little bit toxic.’

Richard Madeley: ‘Liam recently celebrated being 100 days clean’

Speaking on This Morning in late 2019, Liam admitted he was as much scared of success as a solo artist as he was of failure.

‘That was the craziest thing, as the band stopped and we had a number of months off, it was almost like going through some weird, early retirement… it’s trying to find out who you are, what’s your purpose.’

‘I went through a number of different bits of therapy. As Strip That Down was coming out I was almost as afraid of its success as I was the failure which isn’t a very comfortable place to be in life.’

He explained how comedian Russell Brand was among those to guide him through those years, telling This Morning:

‘I went away, I had a thing with drink and it was a guy called Chip Somers who got me sober. I was sober for about a year and visited Russell Brand. We went down to meetings together.’ Brand was a patron of the Focus 12 treatment centre, founded by Somers at the time.

‘For anybody who’s having a problem with mental health, the best thing to do is speak to someone. We’re all as crazy as the next person.’

Ant Middleton comments on whether Liam Payne was battling any demons

Whilst he was spoke about his year of being sober back in 2019, Liam later admitted his addiction continued during the Covid pandemic.

He went through a mental health crisis which he spoke about in 2021 while appearing on Ant Middleton’s Straight Talking programme.

He said he was ‘quite lucky to be here still’, and added: ‘There’s times where that level of loneliness and people getting into you every day every so often… it’s like, ‘When will this end?’… that’s almost nearly killed me a couple of times.’

‘I’ve been in a bad place, it’s definitely been on the menu a couple of times in my life… when things start to pile on top of each other that’s when it can really get you, you really have to change your view about it. One thing you can control in that situation is you.

‘You just get on with it, there will be another hurdle in a few weeks, a few months or maybe even the next day, you never really know.’

Speaking to Stephen Bartlett on the Diary Of The CEO Podcast in 2021, Liam, admitted: ‘I was worried how far my rock bottom was going to be. Where’s rock bottom for me?’

Liam had also reflected on how badly his split from Girls Aloud star Cheryl affected him.

The pair having first met on The X Factor when she was a judge, and amid their whirlwind romnace in March 2017, the couple announced the birth of their son Bear.

The singer would go on to speak proudly of his son in the years to come, saying during one awards ceremony that Bear ‘constantly inspires’ him to be a better person.

But in July 2018, Payne and Cheryl announced their split after two-and-a-half years together, and he was later romantically linked to models Naomi Campbell and Maya Henry.

He opened up about his separation from Cheryl, saying it was tough to break up in the public spotlight and that announcing it was ‘like breaking up twice’.

Speaking to Ant Middleton in 2021 about his son, Liam said: ‘I get lonely if I can’t see Bear for a few days. It seems to the outside world that I have everything but there are so many parts missing. Uncertainty is a big thing in my life, I don’t know how long it will last.

‘Also, my home life situation is problematic and difficult. Distance is difficult. And there are 50 million rumours a week which are hard to ignore. Trust is difficult.

‘Being away from your child out of choice and no choice is difficult to barter with in your head. You know why you’re doing what you’re doing but you wonder what you’re missing out on. Have you got it right?

‘So many people get to the end of their life and go: ‘I wish I’d done this and that.’ I don’t want to be one of those people.’

‘My life is his’: Liam Payne reveals finance plans after tragic death

Liam’s battles continued and in July 2023, he posted a video about spending 100 days in a rehab facility in Louisiana, telling fans he was celebrating six months of sobriety.

He said: ‘I just kind of feel like I’ve got more of a grip on life and everything that was getting away from me, I just feel like I’ve got more of a handle on it.

‘I just needed to take a little bit of time out for myself actually because I kind of became somebody who I didn’t really recognise anymore and I’m sure you guys didn’t either. I was in bad shape up until that point and I was really happy to kind of put a stopper to life and work.’

Liam said he hit ‘rock bottom’ after appearing on Logan Paul’s podcast back in June 2022, and apologised for taking his anger out on everybody else.

Liam thanked his son and his ex-girlfriend Cheryl for supporting his decision to get better. He added that his former bandmates Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, Niall Horan and Zayn Malik had ‘stuck by me’ and ‘came to my rescue’.

Discussing the infamous podcast, Liam said he ‘came across really big-headed’ and that ‘it was hard for me to watch back’ but that in a way it had ‘saved my life’ by causing him to seek help.

Liam Payne 999 call: Panicked hotel worker requests ‘urgent’ help

He explained how it was when he attended a Hans Zimmer concert in January 2023 that he was inspited to give up drinking.

‘I watching this beautiful symphony, I was having a drink, and I thought, ‘You know what? This isn’t really serving me at all. I don’t really need this right now.’ ‘

‘It’s the first time I’ve ever put a drink down and gone to someone else, ‘You finish this, I don’t need this right now.’ And I haven’t picked one up since, which has almost been six months, which I’m excited about.’

‘It’s good. It’s good to be in this position,’ he added. ‘I definitely don’t need those things anymore. The party’s over.’

Despite his July 2023 pledge to continue his sobriety, fans feared for the singer’s health following a string of worrying signs that his life once again had spiralled out of control.

In August last year Liam’s followers shared their concern after he cancelled his tour of South America after being hospitalised with a kidney infection.

Following the news about his condition, his mother Karen shared that she felt ‘helpless’ and was ‘worried sick’.

She told MailOnline at the time: ‘We are all worried sick about it but we just have to get on. It’s horrible – him being all the way over there.

‘All we can really do is sit it out here and hope for the best. There is nothing we can do. We feel helpless.’

Liam opened up about his mental health and revealed doctors diagnosed him with ‘a couple of conditions’ after he spent some time in a wellness clinic in the US last year after hitting ‘rock bottom’.

He shared a candid Instagram post to his Story in which he said he was having a tough day and family and friends could see he was still struggling.

Liam described ‘manic’ instances in his life and his difficulty in staying sober during ‘super low’ moments.

In the clip he admitted to having filmed the video numerous times before deleting it, before finally deciding this was the right time to share his story with his fans.

‘I know in my last video I mentioned I’d been diagnosed with a couple of conditions and I will not to go into too much detail, but one of them I have is, there’s a lot of manic things in my life which you guys saw,’ he said.

He continued: ‘But the other side of it is and that kind of feels like when when I would lose my sobriety in these moments that were super low and I felt like that today.

‘And it’s isolating the two things and seeing them separately and like I know what they are now’.

‘Luckily I have some amazing people around me that kind of look after me but I am sure they can see it in me too that I’m ‘not really here.”’

Stacey Solomon has stepped back from Loose Women and other high profile commitments, but the former X Factor star may have a very good reason for doing so

Stacey Solomon has been gradually withdrawing from various high-profile commitments in recent months, sparking speculation about her future plans. The beloved star has been noticeably absent from Loose Women since announcing a hiatus from the ITV chat show last December – making just one appearance since. Furthermore, Stacey was conspicuously missing from the 25th anniversary portrait of the ITV show, which celebrated its current stars.

The former X Factor contestant is also believed to have stepped back from her popular Channel 4 show Renovation Rescue and declared that she was leaving her role as brand ambassador for In The Style, a position she’s held since 2021, to concentrate on her family. And it’s possible that balancing her highly successful career with her bustling family life became too overwhelming, reports OK!.

Stacey and Joe may be considering another little one, claims a source (

They say Stacey is acutely aware of how fast her babies are growing up (

No credit)No one can deny that Stacey’s house is a busy one. She shares Rex, five, Rose, three, and one year old Belle with former EastEnders actor Joe Swash, as well as Leighton, 12, and Zachary, 15, from previous relationships (Joe also has an 18 year old son, Henry, from a past relationship). Now, a source has claimed that devoted mum Stacey, the devoted mum, as she and Joe gear up to introduce their new reality show, Escape To Pickle Cottage – may have plans for expanding their brood.

“Despite all her success, Stacey says being a mum is the best thing that has happened to her and she loves having such a big family, even though it can be hard work,” they revealed. “Belle is turning two soon, and she hates the fact that she’s no longer a baby and she is starting to get broody again. Both her and Joe would love baby number six at some point.”

Stacey has previously, albeit jokingly at times, confessed to feeling broody – and with the family set to open their doors to a TV crew, it seems like an ideal moment for another addition to the clan. In January, the 34 year old caused a stir when she posted a heartwarming clip of her three year old son Rex helping little Belle take her first steps, captioned with ‘Why am I broody?’

Stacey has noticeably stepped back from several roles – including as a popular panelist on Loose Women (

Back in May, the celeb shared her ultimate goal to leave television behind to be with her five kids, stating she only wants work that allows her to stay at home. And the insider reveals that with her eldest, Zach, hitting 16, she’s acutely conscious of the fleeting nature of time. “She is only taking on things that work for her as a mum now. Zach is now doing an apprenticeship – so she knows how quickly time goes and she just wants to be with her children as much as she can while they’re little.”

They suggest that a new baby would be a seamless addition to her upcoming reality show. “She could continue to film while pregnant and then the new baby would fit right in with the show and viewers would love it.” The source says Joe, whose mother was a foster carer, is keen on fostering, but Stacey feels she’s not ready for that step yet and believes they haven’t completed their own family. Friends of the duo are reportedly bracing for a significant announcement come 2025.

It brings tears to her eyes when he plays fairies and dolls and princesses with them and she wants more of that.”

If Stacey and Joe, who have weathered the highs and lows of family life thus far, truly are contemplating welcoming another tot into their clan, it would be a delightful addition to a loving family – and would only enhance what is already set to be a thrilling peek behind the scenes of their lives at Pickle Cottage.
