VICTORY FOR THE VOICE: Sir Tom Jones Wins “Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance” at 2025 Grammys for “The Fire Still Bvrns”

A Voice That Refuses to Fade: Sir Tom Jones Triumphs at the Grammy Awards

Sir Tom Jones, the iconic Welsh singer whose voice has defined generations of music lovers, has once again proven that true talent is timeless. At the 2025 Grammy Awards, the 85-year-old legend claimed victory in the Best Traditional Pop Vocal Performance category for his powerful and emotionally rich recording, “The Fire Still Burns.”

The win was met with widespread praise across the music industry, as fans and critics alike celebrated not only the song itself but the enduring legacy of an artist who continues to perform at the highest level decades into his career.

my Win That Resonates Across Generations

In an era dominated by fast-moving trends and digital sounds, “The Fire Still Burns” stands out as a bold reminder of the beauty and emotional depth of traditional pop. The track showcases Tom Jones’ unmistakable baritone — a voice that remains remarkably strong, expressive, and deeply human.

Listeners have described the performance as raw, heartfelt, and reflective, capturing themes of perseverance, passion, and an unbreakable connection to music. Many believe the song feels almost autobiographical, mirroring Jones’ own lifelong commitment to his craft.

 An Unmatched Musical Journey

Sir Tom Jones first rose to international fame in the 1960s, quickly becoming one of the most recognizable voices in popular music. With timeless hits such as “It’s Not Unusual,” “Delilah,” “She’s a Lady,” and “Green, Green Grass of Home,” he built a career that crossed genres, cultures, and generations.

Over the years, Jones has effortlessly blended pop, soul, blues, gospel, and traditional ballads, constantly evolving while staying true to his vocal roots. His ability to adapt without losing authenticity has earned him respect not only from fans, but from fellow artists across the industry.

 Still Standing, Still Singing

At 85, Sir Tom Jones remains an active and commanding presence in music. His Grammy victory sends a clear message: longevity in the arts is not about clinging to the past, but about continuing to deliver work that feels honest, relevant, and deeply felt.

“The Fire Still Burns” is more than a song title — it is a declaration. It represents the passion that continues to drive Jones forward, the discipline that has shaped his career, and the connection he maintains with audiences worldwide.

As tributes poured in following the announcement, fans described the win as emotional, deserved, and inspiring. For many, it reaffirmed a simple truth: legends do not fade — they endure.

 A Legacy Sealed in Music History

With this latest Grammy honor, Sir Tom Jones further secures his place among the greatest vocalists of all time. His career stands as proof that music built on sincerity and skill can transcend trends, technology, and time itself.

And as long as voices like his continue to be heard, the fire will always burn.

“I Don’t Know How to Go On Without Her…” – George Moran Breaks His Silence After the De-ath of Wife Tatiana Schlossberg, Left Raising Two Young Children “We can’t live without her,” the family whispered through tears… Tatiana Schlossberg is g0ne, leaving behind her doctor husband George Moran and their two young children. A loving mother, a devoted wife — now only memories remain. But behind the grief lies a heartbreaking twist no one saw coming… and the children who will grow up asking why…

The doctor widower of JFK’s granddaughter Tatiana Schlossberg faces bringing up two young children alone after her tragic death from blood cancer aged just 35.

George Moran was praised by his late wife in a soul-baring New Yorker essay last month revealing her terminal diagnosis and must now juggle his grief, a demanding job and caring for his three-year-old son Edwin and one-year-old daughter Josephine.

‘Our beautiful Tatiana passed away this morning. She will always be in our hearts,’ a tribute from George, his children and other Kennedy  family members read in an Instagram post that announced Tatiana’s death on Tuesday.

Family

Just last month, Schlossberg revealed in a candid essay for The New Yorker – published on the 62nd anniversary of her grandfather’s assassination – that she had been given a year to live.

In the piece, Schlossberg praised Moran for his support throughout her treatment, writing: ‘George did everything for me that he possibly could.

‘He talked to all the doctors and insurance people that I didn’t want to talk to; he slept on the floor of the hospital; he didn’t get mad when I was raging on steroids and yelled at him that I did not like Schweppes ginger ale, only Canada Dry.’

She added, ‘He would go home to put our kids to bed and come back to bring me dinner. I know that not everyone can be married to a doctor, but if you can, it’s a very good idea.

‘He is perfect, and I feel so cheated and so sad that I don’t get to keep living the wonderful life I had with this kind, funny, handsome genius I managed to find.’

Schlossberg was the daughter of former US Ambassador Caroline Kennedy, JFK’s only surviving child, and designer Edwin Schlossberg.

She studied at Yale for her undergraduate degree, where she met her future husband, Moran, now an attending urologist at Columbia University.

Schlossberg later earned a master’s degree in United States history from the University of Oxford and pursued a career as a journalist.

The couple married in 2017 at the Kennedy compound on Martha’s Vineyard, with former Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick officiating the ceremony.

They lived in a $7.68 million apartment in New York City’s Upper East Side, but in Schlossberg’s New Yorker essay, she revealed she spent much of the last year of her life in and out of the hospital.

Schlossberg said she was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a type of blood cancer, in May 2024.

Doctors only found the disease through routine blood tests after she gave birth to her second child.

In her piece, Schlossberg said the diagnosis came when a doctor noticed an imbalance in her white blood cell count.

‘A normal white-blood-cell count is around four to eleven thousand cells per microliter. Mine was a hundred and thirty-one thousand cells per microliter,’ she wrote.

‘It could just be something related to pregnancy and delivery, the doctor said, or it could be leukemia,’ she recalled.

Schlossberg was eventually diagnosed with a ‘rare mutation called Inversion 3’ which ‘could not be cured by a standard course.’

Schlossberg said she was bewildered by the news, and said despite being nine months pregnant, she was routinely exercising and ‘didn’t feel sick.’

‘I did not – could not – believe that they were talking about me. I had swum a mile in the pool the day before, nine months pregnant. I wasn’t sick. I didn’t feel sick. I was actually one of the healthiest people I knew,’ she wrote.

Schlossberg said she spent five weeks at Columbia-Presbyterian Hospital after giving birth, before she was transferred to Memorial Sloan Kettering for a bone-marrow transplant.

She then underwent grueling chemotherapy at home, and in January, she joined a clinical trial of CAR-T-cell therapy, a type of immunotherapy against certain blood cancers.

In a devastating blow following the news, Schlossberg said she was eventually told by doctors that she had just a year left to live.

Schlossberg wrote in her essay: ‘For my whole life, I have tried to be good, to be a good student and a good sister and a good daughter, and to protect my mother and never make her upset or angry.

‘Now I have added a new tragedy to her life, to our  family’s life, and there’s nothing I can do to stop it.’

Family

Schlossberg’s tragic death is the latest hammer blow for her mother Caroline, who has been beset by a series of horrific tragedies over the course of her life.

Her father, President John F. Kennedy, was assassinated in Dallas in November 1963, five days before Caroline’s sixth birthday.

Five years later Caroline’s uncle Robert Kennedy was assassinated in Los Angeles.

In 1994, Caroline’s mother Jacqueline Kennedy-Onassis – the former First Lady of the United States – died of lymphoma at the age of sixty four.

And in 1999 Caroline lost her only sibling, John F. Kennedy Jr.  JFK Jr, also known as John John, crashed his plane into the Atlantic Ocean off Martha’s Vineyard.

The accident also killed his wife Carolyn Besette and Carolyn’s sister Lauren Bessette.

Caroline has been married to Edwin Schlossberg since 1986 and has two other children, 37-year-old Rose and 32-year-old Jack.

“I’m Alive!” – Anne Nolan has revealed she broke down in tears after being officially told she is cancer-free. ‘Please Let Me Live to See My Grandkids Grow’: Anne Nolan’s Last Wish After Beating Cancer Twice

Anne Nolan has revealed she broke down in tears after being officially told she is cancer-free — a bittersweet moment for the 74-year-old singer, who has endured unimaginable loss within her famous family.

After a gruelling battle with breast cancer for the second time in her life, Anne says receiving the all-clear was “the best news” — but it came wrapped in emotion. “I had a little cry,” she says. “I was just relieved more than anything and felt so blessed and happy.”

Anne, of the iconic Nolan Sisters, has lost two siblings — Bernie and Linda — to cancer. “Although I was absolutely thrilled, I did think about them. It’s not survivor’s guilt, but it’s sadness that they weren’t as lucky as I was,” she shares.

The singer, who first faced cancer in 2000 and again in 2020, spoke from her home in Blackpool, describing how the 2022 ordeal affected her deeply. “It was horrendous. I ended up with anxiety about dying. I had cancer during COVID and couldn’t have my family with me in hospital. I still have anxiety. I don’t want to die, I love being alive.”

Despite lingering effects like neuropathy from chemotherapy, Anne says she feels physically well. “I don’t take any medication regularly. I do my own housework. I feel really good.”

But the mental scars linger. “I get scared in the shower — because both times I found my cancer there. Now, I avoid checking sometimes out of fear. I know it’s irrational, but it’s real.”

Anne now wants to fully embrace life, sharing her dream bucket list: visiting the Vatican, seeing Nashville, learning to swim and picking up a new language or instrument.

She also laughs about her visits to sister Coleen’s Staffordshire farm. “I love animals, but I’m scared of them! I go and say hello to the horses — but I wouldn’t want to be left alone with them.”

Anne says the family’s history with cancer — including Coleen’s skin cancer diagnosis in 2023 and brother Brian’s recent prostate cancer battle — has brought them even closer. “When you come through it, you think — I didn’t die, so I’m going to live every day to the fullest.”

“I HEARD A CRACK… AND KNEW STRAIGHT AWAY.” Kate Garraway has revealed a painful off-air ordeal after a shocking collision with a taxi left her cracking her teeth — and still turning up to Good Morning Britain with a brave smile. The TV presenter admitted the impact was instant and brutal, describing the moment as “grim” as she realised the damage was worse than she first thought. Despite the injury, Kate carried on as usual, masking the pain on live television while privately dealing with the shock and discomfort. “I just thought, keep going,” she hinted, later admitting the aftermath was far harder than viewers ever saw. Fans were quick to rally around her, flooding social media with messages of concern and admiration for her resilience. Smiling through broken teeth and hidden pain, Kate’s revelation has left viewers shaken — and full details of how the accident happened are now drawing serious attention.

Kate Garraway has revealed she suffered a freak and painful accident after colliding with a taxi window — cracking both of her front tooth caps just days before presenting Good Morning Britain.

The ITV presenter shared the grim behind-the-scenes drama on Instagram, admitting she initially tried to hold the broken caps in place with Fixodent. But just minutes before she went live on air, the denture adhesive failed — and one of the damaged teeth fell out entirely.

Letting fans in on the chaos, Kate joked that it was “hard to appear young and cool in front of a whole new team of trendy producers” when she was reduced to gluing her teeth back in at 3am. An emergency dash to the dentist later left her with a temporary set of oversized fake teeth, which she joked made her understand Alan Carr’s struggles all too well.

Despite the ordeal, Kate powered through the live broadcast, hoping the temporary teeth would “hold for GMB from 6am” alongside co-host Richard Madeley — with glue firmly at the ready.

The comment section quickly filled with messages of shock and support. Susanna Reid reacted with a stunned “Oh my,” while Ashley James exclaimed “OMG Kate!!”. Fellow ITV anchor Jonathan Swain even admitted he had been standing next to her in the studio and “didn’t notice a thing”.

The accident comes amid a turbulent period for Kate, who recently addressed viral rumours claiming she had a “new boyfriend” following the death of her husband, Derek Draper, in 2024. Kate dismissed the speculation after sharing an AI-generated image that some had mistakenly believed was real, warning about the growing danger of fake news and the emotional impact it can have on families.

HOT UPDATE: “Still Here, Still Smiling And I’m Not Going Anywhere.” BBC Breakfast icon Carol Kirkwood has finally broken her silence after enduring years of what viewers call “DREADFUL ABUSE,” and her response is pure fire. “Call me what you like, but I show up every day and I own that screen,” she snapped. In a bold takedown of her harshest critics, Carol hit back with unshakable grit, reacting in an unexpected way, revealing her current life, and this time everyone was left speechless.

The British television landscape woke up to a powerful moment of resilience in mid-2025 when **Carol Kirkwood**, the beloved weather presenter on *BBC Breakfast*, finally addressed years of relentless online trolling and viewer criticism head-on. In a candid interview that quickly went viral across media outlets, the 63-year-old icon delivered a message that blended defiance, humor, and unwavering self-assurance: “Still here, still smiling—and I’m not going anywhere.”

Kirkwood, who has graced BBC screens since the late 1990s, first joined as a weather forecaster in 1998 after training with the Met Office. Her warm, professional demeanor and trademark enthusiasm for even the gloomiest forecasts have made her a staple of morning television for millions. Viewers tune in daily for her updates on BBC One’s flagship breakfast show, where she delivers forecasts alongside hosts like Naga Munchetty and Charlie Stayt. Yet behind the sunny on-screen persona lies a reality many public figures face: a barrage of negativity from a vocal minority.

In the interview, published in outlets like *Radio Times* and quickly amplified by the *Daily Mail*, *Express*, and others in July 2025, Kirkwood opened up about the “dreadful abuse” she endures regularly. She described receiving harsh comments on X (formerly Twitter) and even direct emails containing “dreadful things.” The criticism often targets her appearance, age, or role—echoing broader issues of sexism in broadcasting, including debates around hashtags like #NotAWeatherGirl that challenge patronizing labels.

But Kirkwood refused to let it define her. “I am what I am, and I don’t really care what anybody thinks of me,” she declared. She snapped back at critics with grit: “Call me what you like, but I show up every day and I own that screen.” Dismissing the vitriol as “water off a duck’s back,” she quipped, “Or maybe that should be heavy rain off a duck’s back?”—a playful nod to her weather expertise that left readers chuckling and admirers cheering.

The response struck a chord because it wasn’t just defensive; it was empowering. Kirkwood highlighted how life experiences have built her resilience. She referenced losing three close friends to breast cancer, noting, “It makes you think, ‘Why am I worried about a few lines?’” She also critiqued society’s obsession with youth, adding, “It’s terribly sad there’s such a youth culture these days. People expect you to look young. Why? There’s beauty in every age.”

This wasn’t her first brush with discussing online negativity—she hinted at personal attacks as far back as 2014 in an interview with *The Herald*. But this time felt different: more assertive, more final. The statement “Still here, still smiling—and I’m not going anywhere” became a rallying cry, symbolizing her commitment to her craft amid adversity.

Kirkwood’s career trajectory adds depth to her words. Born Carol MacKellaig in Morar, Scotland, in 1962, she grew up as one of eight children in a hotelier family. After early roles in local TV and BBC radio, she built a solid path at the BBC. Beyond weather, she’s a bestselling author with four novels published and a fifth on the way, often weaving romance and intrigue inspired by her love of storytelling. Her personal life has seen challenges too—a divorce from ex-husband Jimmy Kirkwood in 2008—but brighter chapters followed. In 2022, she announced her engagement to partner Steve Randall live on air from the Chelsea Flower Show. They married in an intimate ceremony at Cliveden House in Buckinghamshire on December 27, 2023, describing it as “blissful” and unforgettable.

Fans have long appreciated her authenticity. Despite occasional absences or stand-ins (like Sarah Keith-Lucas or Matt Taylor), her returns spark joy. She’s participated in events like *Strictly Come Dancing* in 2015 (finishing 10th) and remains passionate about meteorology, often emphasizing the fascination of the UK’s ever-changing weather.

Her bold takedown resonated widely. Supporters flooded social media with praise, celebrating her as a role model for handling hate with class. Critics were left speechless by the poise—she didn’t lash out personally but reaffirmed her value through dedication. “I’m just doing my job to the best of my ability and hopefully improving myself on a daily basis, whether people think I’m capable or not,” she said in one reflection.

The episode underscores larger conversations about online abuse toward women in media. Kirkwood’s experience mirrors that of many broadcasters facing gendered scrutiny or ageism. Yet her approach—focusing on passion, perspective, and humor—offers a blueprint for resilience. As she put it, the trolling is now “nothing but heavy rain off a duck’s back.”

As of early 2026, Kirkwood continues her role on *BBC Breakfast*, delivering forecasts with the same enthusiasm. She’s thriving personally and professionally, with no signs of slowing down. Her message serves as inspiration: in the face of cruelty, show up, own your space, and keep smiling. Carol Kirkwood isn’t just weathering the storm—she’s owning it.

“My mother is the most wonderful person!” Princess Andre happily shouted as she threw her arms around her mother’s neck. Katie Price and her 18-year-old daughter, Princess Andre, splashed out thousands of pounds on a luxury shopping trip at Selfridges. Despite the many rifts that followed after Katie was banned from appearing on her daughter’s television show, she has still proven herself to be a model mother, being extremely generous with her daughter. However, when she pulled out her card to make the payment, an unexpected incident occurred, leaving both mother and daughter blushing…

Katie Price and her daughter Princess Andre splashed out thousands on a lavish Selfridges shopping spree this week – after her staggering earnings from OnlyFans were revealed.

The former glamour model, 47, and Princess – who she shares with ex Peter Andre – spent the day in London this week where they treated themselves on Oxford Street.

Katie – who recently split from partner JJ Slater – is thought to be raking in around £50,000 a month from her OnlyFans work after being faced with financial hell in 2024 after she received a £750,000 unpaid tax bill.

Keen to make the most of her new money she spent the day in the capital, with Princess documenting the quality time with her mum on TikTok.

The pair hopped in a taxi to Selfridges as Princess panned the camera to Katie and said: ‘She’s so in her element guys’ before the frame switched to them in a shopping mall.

First the pair splashed out on some jewellery before heading to some more shops and checking out different looks.

Princess stopped to admire a pale blue puffer jacket at one point as she said: ‘This is way too big but it’s so cute. They don’t have my size though.’

It then got to lunch time and Katie whipped out a ham and cheese sandwich in Cartier of all places as she quipped: ‘You’ve got to eat. And it’s got to be the heart of the sandwich [a bite from the middle]. That’s the best bit.’

They then headed to try on some shoes at YSL before going home with a huge amount of Selfridges bags covering the taxi floor.

Princess wrapped up the TikTok video saying: ‘Guys, this is ridiculous. Tough day.’

Last year pals of Katie revealed how she is now raking in £50,000 a month with OnlyFans, after being cleared of her staggering tax bill.

The star has now been discharged from both tax bills, saying at the time: ‘I’m so happy. I can finally move on and put these bankruptcies behind me and now only focus on the positive.’

And last March one of Katie’s pals told The Sun that she is back to earning £50,000 a month after shooting a campaign with Diesel, landing a major film role and signing a lucrative deal with OnlyFans.

‘She has 2.7 million followers on Instagram and can charge thousands for a post or story – she also has plans for an underwear range and perfume one.

‘Katie is a real workhorse and is determined to claw back her fortune and get onto that Rich List, rubbing shoulders with oligarchs, CEOs and footballers.’

At one point in the day Katie whipped out a ham and cheese sandwich in Cartier of all places as she quipped: ‘You’ve got to eat’

Katie – who recently split from partner JJ Slater (seen together in March 2024) – was enjoying some quality time with her daughter

Earlier this week Katie’s fans begged her to get help after she was pictured looking ‘worryingly thin’ while reuniting with daughter Princess after their reality show feud.

She has sparked concern in recent months with her dramatic weight loss and has undergone some tests.

Three months ago she revealed she had been hospitalised over her ‘dramatic’ and ‘unexplained’ weight loss.

And her fans are now urging the mother-of-five to seek help, saying she is ‘worryingly thin’ and is ‘looking really poorly’.

Her followers have voiced their fears for her health, writing: ‘Katie.. you don’t know me, but I really want you to get some help. You’re looking really poorly.’

‘Someone really needs to intervene here with some mental help feel really sorry for her.’

‘Am I the only one who sees that she lost too much weight.’

‘She is worryingly thin.’

Her reunion with Princess comes after she was ‘banned’ from appearing in the first season of her ITV show, The Princess Diaries.

The series featured Princess’ dad Peter, step mum Emily MacDonagh and brother Junior, but Katie was missing from the line-up after previously revealing she had been prevented from taking part at the request of Princess’ management team.

Junior’s relationship with his sister Princess was a key part of her reality series, which also highlighted her closeness with Pete and Emily.

However, viewers will no longer see the Mysterious Girl singer on The Princess Diaries. In November, the Daily Mail revealed that Pete and Emily will not appear in series two and three, currently being filmed, following the fallout the show caused with Katie.

After Katie publicly criticised her ex-husband and his long-time manager for excluding her from the project and any of Princess’s work, Pete posted a statement on Instagram confirming that the children he shares with Katie have been in his sole custody since 2018.

A source has now explained that Katie’s involvement in the second series would not be full-time but she would still be visible to viewers.

The Daily Mail contacted ITV, Princess Andre, Peter Andre and Katie Price’s representatives for comment at the time.

Elsewhere, Katie recently called herself a ‘stick woman’ and said doctors were concerned about her low blood pressure in a recent health update on her podcast The Katie Price Show.

Katie added she was feeling the pressure from her mother Amy to go to the doctors as she told her sister Sophie: ‘All I’ve had, since everywhere has been closed, is, “Have you phoned the doctors yet? Have you phoned?”

‘I’m like, “Yes, mum. I went to the doctors today”. I screenshotted the appointment.’

Sophie asked: ‘Did you actually though? Because mum has been speaking to me about this.’

Katie replied: ‘Yes. I’m going in there to talk about blood tests, MRI, everything she wants me to have to get to the bottom of why the price is – forget stick man – stick woman.’

Last year pals of Katie revealed how she is now raking in £50,000 a month with OnlyFans, after being cleared of her staggering tax bill

The mother-of-five added she had to have her blood pressure done three times because doctors thought it was so low that there must have been an error.

In October, Katie confessed she had been hospitalised for her weight loss – which she initially conceded was her aim – however later insisted was baffling doctors and left needing tests to assess the situation.

Katie told fans on her Snapchat Story she ‘doesn’t know why’ her frame is shrinking so much as she undergoes tests.

She began: ‘I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so s*** they had three attempts.

‘They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks. And I’ve got to have my stitches out then because they looked at my little stab wound that I did…’

Katie added: ‘The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight and I don’t know why. So that’s that.’

Lesley Joseph and Linda Robson join the guest cast of The Good Ship Murd3r series 3 in episode 5. Their appearance follows recent guest turns from Emmerdale’s Lesley Dunlop and River City’s Sally Howitt.

The veteran actresses play “two merry widows Tilly and Elsa”, who embark on a grief cruise to celebrate the lives of their late partners. When the ship docks in Cape Verde, they join a small group heading ashore to visit a local shrine and pay their respects.

But the trip takes a dark turn when Tilly (Lesley Joseph) is found Murd3red. As Jack begins to piece together what happened, a number of suspects emerge. These include creepy fellow grief cruiser Noel, who appears to have been stalking Tilly. There’s also shifty restaurant critic Angel, who is hiding something, and Emiliano, a market trader with questionable contacts and a police record.

Kriss Dosanjh also guest stars as Noel. Viewers may recognise him from roles including Ashok Masum in Casualty. He’s also known for playing The Brigadier in The Larkins, and Hassan Habeeb on Coronation Street.

What are Linda Robson and Lesley Joseph famous for?

For many viewers, Lesley Joseph and Linda Robson will forever be Dorien Green and Tracey Stubbs from Birds of a Feather. They played the roles from 1989 right through to 2020, alongside co-star and close friend Pauline Quirke, who portrayed Sharon Theodopolopodous.

In 2021, Pauline was diagnosed with dementia. Linda and Pauline are childhood best friends in real life. Earlier this year, Linda revealed that her friend no longer recognised her or her children.

Speaking on Loose Women, she said: “It’s very sad. We’ve been best friends since we were 10. I’ve known [about the diagnosis] for three years and we’ve managed to keep it quiet. She doesn’t know who anybody is. She doesn’t know who I am or who are kids are.”

Was Birds of a Feather axed?

Birds of a Feather was a huge hit in its original BBC One run from 1989 to 1998. ITV revived the sitcom in 2014, where it continued for six more years, with the final episode airing on Christmas Eve 2020.

Pauline’s character Sharon Theodopolopodous was notably absent from that final Christmas special, which aired a year before her diagnosis.

The series centred on chalk-and-cheese sisters Sharon and Tracey, whose husbands were jailed for armed robbery. Sharon moved from her Edmonton council flat into Tracey’s comfortable Chigwell home in Essex, where they soon had to deal with their nosy – and eventually beloved – neighbour Dorien.

Of course, Dorien became notorious as the middle-aged married Jewish woman with a weakness for younger men.

Lisa Riley opens up about Robin Windsor’s death

In a new interview, Lisa sat down with mental health charity SANE to discuss the importance of reaching out to someone if you’re struggling.

“Let people know that no matter how much you’re struggling, talking really helps,” she explained.

“Whether it is the helpline for SANE or whether it is your family member, your best friend.”

However, Lisa explained that she and her Strictly co-star Robin “would talk for hours”, stating that she was his “comfort blanket” and “shoulder to cry on”.

“And yet, it still wasn’t enough,” she continued, adding that she feels it is her “duty” to continue to raise awareness with charities.

‘Absolutely love you’

Following the interview, Lisa was supported by her followers.

“Couldn’t love you more,” one user wrote.

“Absolutely love you,” another person shared.

“Amazing interview!” a third remarked.

‘He always wanted to do the show’

Meanwhile, last year, Lisa signed up for I’m A Celebrity and revealed that Robin was “one of the main reasons” she wanted to do it.

“He always wanted to do the show, and he thought I was crazy to have said no after all these years,” she told

“And Robin would be like ‘You’d be [bleep]ing hilarious. I can hear him now shouting at me, going, you would be [bleep]ing hilarious.”
