Brooklyn Beckham has reportedly drawn a firm line under his fractured relationship with his famous parents.

Sources close to the family claim that the eldest Beckham child’s relationship with his parents is effectively ‘over’ despite renewed efforts by David Beckham and Victoria Beckham to heal the divide.

The 26-year-old, who has been living in the US with his wife Nicola Peltz, welcomed the New Year far from home, partying in Florida while David seemingly reached out and tried to make amends.

On New Year’s Eve, the legendary football star shared a carousel of photos to Instagram in which he reflected on the past 12 months.

He captioned the post: ‘I feel very lucky to have had the year I’ve had in 2025 full of moments that I will never forget from my 50th to my knighthood ( still pinching myself ) and then finishing with winning the MLS as an owner, I’m so grateful to my incredible wife, my amazing children, my friends and team I work with every single day nothing would have been possible without you all.

‘But as Sir Alex Ferguson would say “Onto the next”. Thank you for the incredible memories I will forever remember 2025.’

He then tagged his wife Victoria and added: ‘I love you and our kids.’

The series of photos showed snaps taken with his wife and their three youngest children, as well as with his parents, being knighted by King Charles, and at his birthday celebrations with various friends – none of them featuring Brooklyn.

However, later on New Year’s Eve, David then shared a series of photos to his Instagram stories, including one with his eldest son.

Posting a photo with each of his four children when they were younger, he wrote: ‘I’m so grateful for my family. I love you all.

‘I’m so lucky to have my amazing family.’

Alongside the photo with Brooklyn, he wrote: ‘I love you all so much.’

He continued: ‘I’m a very lucky Daddy.’

Then sharing a photo with Victoria cuddling a baby Harper and flanked by their sons while all sitting on a couch, he added: ‘You are my life. I love you all, love Daddy. Onto 2026.’

Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Nicola were far from home for New Yeara (Picture: nicolaannepeltzbeckham)

The post, specifically the photo showing Brooklyn, was then re-shared by Victoria, who simply posted a love heart emoji beside it.

But the gesture may have been insufficient, as, according to one source, Brooklyn now considers his relationship with his parents beyond repair, despite their visible attempts to reach out publicly.

A source told The Mirror: ‘While things between him and his parents are over, Brooklyn is still very fond of his grandparents. There is a lot of love for them, and that has never faltered.’

The publication’s source described the gesture as David’s ‘boldest olive branch yet.’

Another source told The Mirror: ‘David and Victoria will never give up trying to secure a reconciliation between them and their son. Nothing will change that, and they live in hope. He will always be their son, and they are not going to stop putting on record their feelings.’

Meanwhile, Brooklyn and Nicola Peltz have continued to present a united front amid mounting public scrutiny.

The couple, who were also absent from Christmas in the Cotswolds and several major family events throughout the year, have remained largely silent as fans urge Brooklyn to repair the relationship.

The situation escalated further last month when Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz publicly claimed the family had been blocked without warning, contradicting reports that David and Victoria had unfollowed their son.

SHOCK HEALTH CONFESSION: A Marvel star has revealed they suffered brain damage following a major accident — admitting life has never been the same since

A Marvel star has revealed their recent ‘brain damage’ diagnosis (Picture: Jesse Grant/ Getty)
A major star of the Marvel Cinematic Universe films has revealed she has been diagnosed with ‘brain damage’ after suffering a terrible injury.

Evangeline Lilly, 46, who played Hope Van Dyne (the Wasp) in the MCU’s Ant Man and the Wasp series, took to Instagram on Thursday evening to give fans an update.

The actress is also known for playing Kate Austen in all six seasons of the 2000s TV phenomenon Lost, which was primarily filmed in Hawaii during its run.

And it was during a return trip to Hawaii in 2025 that Evangeline suddenly fainted and fell head first into a boulder, leaving her with bruises and scars across her face.

Sadly, it appears the physical injuries she suffered weren’t the only issues caused by the traumatic event – it left her concussed has now apparently left her with ‘brain damage’.

Evangeline said in a video on Instagram: ‘It’s late on January 1st. The first day of 2026. I’m entering into this new year, the year of the horse, with some bad news about my concussion.

‘A lot of you have asked how I’m doing. A lot of you have enquired about the brain scan that you heard I got. The results came back from the scan, and almost every area in my brain is functioning at a decreased capacity.’

She continued: ‘I do have brain damage from the TBI (traumatic brain injury) and possibly other factors going on. My job now is to get to the bottom of that with my doctors.

‘Then I’ll embark on the hard work of fixing it, which I’m not looking forward to – I feel like hard work is all I do. But that’s okay. My cognitive decline is because I smashed my face open [but] it’s helped me to slow down.’

She concluded: ‘It’s taught me to have a more restful finish to my 2025. I think this was the most restful Christmas holiday I’ve had, maybe, since I’ve had children. So, 14 years ago – that’s a good thing.

‘I’m still feeling extraordinarily grateful and blessed to be able to play for one more day, one more year on this beautiful living planet. So, that is my concussion update. Thank you all for caring.’

In May 2025, Evangeline revealed that she had ‘blacked out’ suddenly in Hawaii, sharing pictures of bad scarring on her face from the fall – particularly around her nose and mouth.

In the aftermath, the Hobbit actress had to pull out of several media appearances and confessed that she had experienced fainting spells since childhood.

The Canadian actress shot to fame as main character Kate Austen on the American TV show Lost, which ran between 2004 and 2010, and earned her a Golden Globe nomination.

Before starring in four MCU films as the Wasp, she also appeared as the elf Tauriel in Peter Jackson’s The Desolation of Smaug and The Battle of Five Armies from the Hobbit trilogy.

BREAKING: Declan Donnelly and his longtime partner, Ali Astall, have just dropped a DOUBLE BOMBSHELL baby announcement — welcoming twin babies AT AGE 50 — and it’s the TWINS’ NAMES that are breaking the internet! They waited years. They kept it private. Then, on a quiet morning in London… they shared a single post. Two newborns resting gently in Declan Donnelly’s arms. A smile — and tears — on both Declan and Ali’s faces. But it wasn’t just the twins that captured everyone’s hearts — It was their names…

Declan Donnelly and Ali Astall Stun Fans With Secret Twin Baby Reveal at Age 50 — and It’s the NAMES That No One Saw Coming

For years, they chose silence instead of headlines.
Privacy instead of publicity.
A quiet life instead of constant speculation.

And then — without warning — Declan Donnelly and his longtime partner, Ali Astall, did the unthinkable.

Early on a peaceful London morning, while much of the city was still waking up, a single post appeared online.

Just one photograph — and a handful of words powerful enough to set social media ablaze.

The image showed Declan, 50, bathed in soft natural light, cradling two newborn babies in his arms.

Wrapped in simple cream blankets, the twins slept soundly, completely unaware that their arrival had just sparked a global reaction.

Beside him sat Ali, her face glowing with emotion — smiling through unmistakable tears.

Within minutes, fans realized this was no ordinary announcement.

This was a double bombshell.

Not only had the couple quietly welcomed twin babies after years of guarding their private journey — they had done it without a single leak, rumour, or confirmation along the way.

“They waited years.”
“They kept it completely private.”
“And then they shared everything in one unforgettable moment.”

The post spread at lightning speed across social media.
Screenshots flooded timelines.
Entertainment outlets scrambled to push out updates.

Fans around the world reacted with a mix of shock, joy, and disbelief.

But as the initial surprise began to settle, it became clear that it wasn’t only the twins themselves capturing everyone’s attention.

It was their names.

In the caption, Declan and Ali quietly revealed the twins’ names for the very first time:
Theodore James Donnelly and Elijah Rowan Donnelly.

Almost instantly, the internet erupted.

Fans called the names “unexpected,” “deeply meaningful,” and “beautifully classic.”

Others praised their timeless quality, noting how both felt traditional yet emotionally rich.

Online, speculation quickly followed — with users wondering about family connections, personal symbolism, and whether the names paid tribute to loved ones from the couple’s past.

“Theodore” was widely seen as a name rooted in strength and legacy, while “Elijah” sparked discussion for its softer, more poetic tone.

The middle names — James and Rowan — only deepened the intrigue, sending fans searching for hidden meanings behind every choice.

One comment summed up the collective feeling perfectly:
“The names feel chosen with love, not trends.”

The secrecy surrounding the twins’ arrival only amplified the emotional impact.

In an age where celebrity lives are documented in real time, Declan and Ali’s decision to wait — and to speak only when they were ready — felt almost radical.

Sources close to the couple described the announcement as “deeply intentional.”

According to insiders, the post was shared without media advisers or promotional strategy.
“This wasn’t about attention,” one source said.

“It was about family.”

Friends say becoming a parent later in life has brought a profound sense of peace to Declan.

“There’s a calmness about him,” one insider shared. “He feels grounded.”

Ali, meanwhile, has been widely praised for her strength and quiet grace.

Messages poured in applauding her decision to protect such a deeply personal chapter of their lives until now.

“She guarded her family fiercely,” one fan wrote.

As the day went on, reactions continued to flood in — from fellow celebrities, longtime supporters, and parents who saw their own journeys reflected in the story.

Many described the announcement as “quietly powerful” and “deeply moving.”

And then, just as deliberately as it appeared, the moment ended.

No follow-up posts were shared.
No interviews were announced.

Two names.

And two newborn lives, introduced to the world on their own terms.

Sometimes the biggest stories don’t arrive with noise or spectacle.

Sometimes, they arrive softly — and linger with us long after the moment has passed.

Bоmbshell:Strictly’s Vicky Pattison’s fans say they ‘can’t wait’ after career update with Pete Wicks

Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison’s fans have said that they ‘can’t wait’ after she shared a career update with the help of her close friend Pete Wicks.

Vicky and Pete have been friends for a number of years, having been featured on Celebrity Gogglebox together and taken part in a huge Icelandic trek for the breast cancer awareness charity, CoppaFeel.

Last month saw the pair reunite for an episode of Pete and Sam Thompson’s Staying Relevant podcast. With Sam away visiting the I’m A Celebrity set at the time, Vicky and Pete got to speak about their separate appearances on Strictly Come Dancing.

The former Geordie Shore I’m A Celebrity winner was seen last year competing on the annual BBC dancing competition with professional dancer Kai Widdrington. The pair were a popular couple on the series which was eventually won by Karen Carney and Carlos Gu.

Vicky and Kai were sent home by judges Craig Revel Horwood,Motsi Mabuse, Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas after landing in the dance-off at the beginning of November with EastEnders actress Balvinder Sopal and Julian Callion.

Back in 2024, Pete managed to make it all the way to the series’ semi-final with the help of Jowita Przystal. Sadly, their journey ended just before the final after being in the dance-off with Love Island’s Tasha Ghouri and Aljaz Skorjanec.

With their friendship now having Strictly to talk about, Vicky took to Instagram on Monday (January 5) to reveal that she and Pete were hanging out once again. Sharing a video, they could be seen lip syncing to a viral TikTok sound about ordering a vodka and tonic when the bar doesn’t have apple juice.

Writing on the video, where they sat beside each other in a restaurant booth, read: “Pov: Our attempt at dry January.

In her post’s main caption, Vicky revealed that they were actually spending time together for her and her husband Ercan Ramdan’s new reality show. Vicky and Ercan tied the knot to last year, which Pete was in attendance at.

“How’s everyone else’s resolutions going??! Not a bad start to 2026 really, got to film with this fella today for mine and @ercan_ram’s new show…Coming in March to @e4grams.

“And don’t forget to tune in tonight at 9pm to @uandw_ for the premiere of series 3 of @petewicksfordogssake,” Vicly wrote.

Pete replied to the post by poking fun at himself, saying: “Can’t believe I actually managed to lip sync in time…new year, new me.”

The rest of the comments section of Vicky’s post saw her and Pete’s fans expressing their delight at seeing them back together again and their excitement at Vicky’s latest TV project.

Pete’s former Strictly partner Jowita Przystal said: “Aww excited news, miss you.” @hthomaspictures added: “Can’t wait for the awesome show.”

@vickystrictly wrote: “This is hilarious!!! love you both so much! i can’t wait for your new show.” @vickypattisonslays posted: “favourite friendship forever, love you both so much!! SO excited for yours & erc’s new show!! so proud always.”

@team.vickyandkai commented: “hahaha love it!! love you so much, cant wait for petes show tn and cant wait for march!! birthday present i guess. love you loads.” @tashramsay123 noted: “Smashed this, I never set resolutions because I never stick to them I just have a few goals I’d like to achieve thought out the year.”

THE NEW KING HAS ARRIVED! ATTENBOROUGH PASSES THE BATON AS HAMZA YASSIN “BREAKS THE INTERNET”!

Written by

Move over, every polished presenter who ever read a script about badgers: Britain has chosen its new natural-history heartbeat, and he’s a 6-foot-6 Sudanese-Scottish giant who learned to track lynx before he could drive, cries when otters hold hands, and once spent 42 straight nights sleeping in a hide just to film pine martens falling in love.

Online movie streaming services

Last night, BBC One dropped the first trailer for Hamza’s Wild Britain (a six-part landmark series launching spring 2026), and within four hours it became the most-watched BBC trailer in a decade. The final 15 seconds alone have been viewed 28 million times: Hamza, knee-deep in a Highland river at dawn, whispering so gently the microphone barely catches it as a mother otter teaches her pup to swim literally inches from his face. No music. Just his soft Glasgow-Sudanese lilt: “Look… she’s telling him the water will hold him, if he trusts it. Same thing my mum told me when we arrived in Scotland and I couldn’t speak a word of English.”

Hamza arrived in rural Northamptonshire from Sudan at age eight, speaking no English, clutching a bird book his father gave him “because birds don’t care what language you speak.” By twelve he was the weird kid cycling ten miles before school to photograph kingfishers. At sixteen he won Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year with a shot of a fox cub yawning that looked like it was laughing at the universe. University (Bangor, zoology) was just an excuse to live closer to puffins.

Then came the decade nobody saw: camera-operating on Planet Earth III, Springwatch, and Countryfile, always the guy in the muddy boots who could lie motionless for 14 hours until a badger sniffed his lens and decided he was harmless. Crew nicknamed him “the Otter Whisperer” after he filmed the first-ever footage of wild otters playing with pebbles in the Cairngorms, entirely by becoming part of the furniture for six weeks.

Gift baskets

His big break was accidental. In 2022 he entered Strictly Come Dancing “because my mum loves glitterballs and I thought it might pay for a new hide.” He won the whole thing with Jowita Przystał, foxtrotting like a man who’d spent his life learning rhythm from golden eagles soaring on thermals. Overnight, eight million people discovered the gentle giant who spoke about conservation between sambas.

The BBC pounced. First Hamza: Wild Isles (2024), then the Emmy-nominated Hamza’s Sudan (2025), where he returned to his birthplace to film the last northern white rhinos under the same stars he watched as a child. Critics called it “the most emotional hour of television this decade.” Viewers just called it “life-changing.”

Now Hamza’s Wild Britain is being billed as the spiritual successor to Attenborough’s Life on Earth. Shot entirely by Hamza himself (he still refuses a full camera crew because “animals don’t like strangers”), it promises never-before-seen behaviour: red squirrels teaching their young to tightrope-walk power lines, urban foxes using pedestrian crossings at night, golden eagles hunting in snowstorms so violent Hamza had to be roped to a cliff for three days.

The trailer’s money shot? Hamza lying flat on his stomach in a peat bog at 4 a.m., face inches from a wild mountain hare in its white winter coat. The hare slowly reaches out and touches his beard with its paw. Hamza doesn’t move, doesn’t breathe. When the hare eventually hops away, he whispers to camera, voice cracking: “Sometimes the wild decides you’re worth trusting. That’s the best feeling in the world.”

Online TV streaming services

Sir David himself has already given the ultimate blessing. In a rare statement, the 99-year-old legend said: “Hamza sees the natural world the way poets see love: with wonder that never ages. The baton isn’t being passed; it’s being shared.”

Social media is flooded with kids posting drawings of otters wearing glittery bow ties “for Uncle Hamza.” Primary schools are reporting record numbers of children wanting to become “rangers instead of YouTubers.” The RSPB’s junior membership has tripled in six months.

Hamza, being Hamza, responded to the “new Attenborough” hype with typical humility on Instagram last night: a simple photo of his muddy wellies next to a child’s drawing of an otter holding a glitterball, captioned, “I’m just the tall idiot who talks to animals. Thank you for letting me into your living rooms. I’ll try to make the planet prouder than I am right now.”

Britain has a new voice for its wild places, and it sounds like hope wrapped in a Highland breeze. Spring 2026 can’t come soon enough.

“MY HEART CAN’T TAKE THIS…” JESY NELSON FACES DEVASTATING NEWS ABOUT HER TWIN BABIES Jesy Nelson Has Revealed Heartbreaking News That Has Left Her World Shattered: Doctors Have Told Her That Her Twin Babies Will Never Walk. The Little Mix Star Broke Down In Tears As She Shared The Devastating Diagnosis, Describing The Moment As “The Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Faced.” Fans Quickly Flooded Social Media With Messages Of Love And Support, Rallying Around The Devastated Mum As She Struggles To Come To Terms With A Future Filled With Unimaginable Challenges. Amid The Grief, Jesy’s Raw Vulnerability Has Touched Hearts Everywhere — A Reminder That Even In The Darkest Moments, The Pain Of A Mother’s Love Is Impossible To Measure

Jesy Nelson has shared the most heartbreaking update of her life, revealing that her twin daughters have been diagnosed with the rare genetic condition Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) — a disease that doctors warned could mean they may never walk.

The former Little Mix star, 34, welcomed twins Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson-Foster with her fiancé Zion Foster in May, following a high-risk and emotionally draining pregnancy. Now, just eight months later, Jesy has told fans that her life has been turned upside down.

In an emotional Instagram video, Jesy struggled to hold back tears as she admitted she is “grieving a life I thought I was going to have with my children.” She explained that SMA affects every muscle in the body, leading to severe weakness, breathing difficulties and problems with swallowing.

Jesy revealed that she has effectively become a nurse to her own babies, saying she is now putting her daughters on breathing machines and doing things “no mother should ever have to do with their child.”

The singer said concerns were first raised when her mum noticed the twins were not moving their legs as much as expected. Initially, Jesy was reassured that their development would be slower because they were born prematurely. She was repeatedly told not to compare them to other babies and that everything was fine.

But over time, worrying signs appeared. The twins began struggling to feed properly, and despite multiple GP visits, Jesy was reassured again that it was normal. After months of relentless appointments and pushing for answers, the devastating diagnosis finally came: SMA Type 1 — the most severe form of the condition.

Jesy explained that without treatment, babies with SMA Type 1 often do not live past the age of two. She said time was critical, describing how quickly everything moved once specialists became involved.

After assessments at Great Ormond Street Hospital, Jesy and Zion were told their daughters would likely never be able to walk, may never regain neck strength, and would live with lifelong disabilities.

“The best thing we can do right now is get them treatment and hope for the best,” Jesy said, adding that without it, her girls would not survive. Thankfully, the twins have now received treatment, something Jesy described as lifesaving.

While there is currently no cure for SMA, new treatments can significantly slow or stop the disease if given early enough. Campaigners, including SMA UK, are pushing for routine newborn screening across the UK, arguing that many diagnoses come too late. Scotland is set to begin a pilot screening programme in 2026.

Jesy admitted the past months have been the most heartbreaking of her life, saying the hospital has become her second home. Despite her pain, she remains hopeful, telling fans she truly believes her girls can defy the odds with the right help.

Support has poured in from fellow celebrities, including Jesy’s ex-partner Chris Hughes, who called her “a warrior” and urged her to be kind to herself. Zion also shared a message of hope, posting a photo of the twins and saying they were “smiling through the challenges,” adding simply: “Daddy loves you so much.”

The devastating news comes after Jesy previously revealed she had filmed a deeply personal documentary series about her pregnancy and early motherhood for Amazon Prime, documenting what she called a new chapter in her life.

“Heartbreak After the Chaos”: Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle Hit With Shattering Cancer Scare That Leaves Fans Reeling

Emmerdale’s Cain Dingle faces devastating blow after Corriedale chaos

Our hearts are broken

There was no shortage of jaw-dropping moments in Corriedale, but one scene in particular left Emmerdale fans reeling as Cain Dingle was told he may have cancer.

Amid the explosions, fear and fatalities as Emmerdale and Coronation Street crossed over for the first time, it was Cain’s quiet hospital moment that truly stopped viewers in their tracks.

While the major crash dominated events, Cain didn’t end up in hospital because of the wreck itself. Instead, his fate took a heartbreaking turn after a confrontation with his son’s killer, John Sugden, which ended in violence and an unexpected medical revelation.

What happened to Cain in Corriedale?

Cain had been doing something entirely ordinary, taking Sarah and Jacob to the airport, when they stumbled across the aftermath of the crash. Realising Mack and Charity’s car had left the road, they rushed to help, with Cain immediately throwing himself into the chaos.

As the situation unfolded, Robert Sugden warned Cain that John was still at large. True to form, Cain refused to stay out of it. But when Robert and John struggled over a gun, it discharged, leaving Cain shot. In a cruel twist of fate, that gunshot may have saved his life.

Later, viewers watched as a doctor explained that while Cain’s injuries would heal, tests had revealed a mass that strongly suggested cancer. The moment the camera revealed Cain as the patient, with Moira by his side, was quietly devastating.

John had always wanted to be seen as a hero, and in a grimly ironic way, his final actions before Victoria killed him did just that. Without the shooting, Cain may never have discovered what was going on inside his body. The weight given to that hospital conversation strongly hints that this storyline is only just beginning, with major implications heading into 2026.

Cain Dingle’s Emmerdale future explored

At present, there’s no confirmation that Cain Dingle is leaving Emmerdale. Neither the soap nor Jeff Hordley has announced an exit, despite ongoing speculation about Cain’s long-term future.

Importantly, Cain was told that his diagnosis isn’t necessarily a “death sentence”. That suggests a tough road ahead rather than an immediate goodbye. And leaves the door open for him to fight his way through.

That said, with so many departures across both Emmerdale and Corrie, it’s hard not to wonder whether this could eventually lead to Cain’s exit. The very idea is heartbreaking for long-time viewers.

Whatever direction the storyline takes – and however long it runs – one thing feels certain. Jeff Hordley will deliver every emotional beat with absolute conviction.

With Moira by his side, Cain won’t face this alone, and fans will be bracing themselves for some powerful scenes ahead. Let’s just hope 2026 doesn’t mark the end of Cain Dingle, because Emmerdale wouldn’t feel the same without him.

BOND GIRL ENERGY AT 60: Elizabeth Hurley stunned at a 007 New Year’s Eve bash, channeling iconic Bond bombshell Ursula Andress in a skimpy white bikini — and proving age is just a number

Elizabeth Hurley channelled Bond sex symbol Ursula Andress as she attended a 007 New Year’s Eve bash with her boyfriend Billy Ray Cyrus.

In snaps shared to her Instagram on Friday, the actress, 60, showed off her incredible figure in a skimpy white bikini as she posed up a storm with the American country music singer, 64, at the party.

Flaunting her taut stomach in the ensemble, the model layered a cream faux-fur coat over her shoulders and accessorised with diamond silver earrings.

To complete the iconic look, Elizabeth tucked a silver prop gun into her bikini bottoms.

She bore a striking resemblance to Ursula when she played Bond girl Honey Ryder in the first James Bond film, Dr. No, in 1962.

She captioned the sizzling snaps: ‘Happy New Year. Starting 2026 with a bang #007Party.’

Billy later flocked to the comments to express his love for Elizabeth, writing: ‘Talk about a banger of a way to welcome in the New Year  I love you Baby ’

During the party, Elizabeth appeared in high spirits as she was joined by friends and her director son, Damian Hurley, 23.

The celebration comes after the actress and Billy Ray marked their first Christmas together with her son, Damian.

Elizabeth also shared a pair of loved-up snaps with Billy Ray ahead of the New Year, offering fans a glimpse into their festive celebrations.

One snap showed them cosied up together next to her Christmas tree, while another showed the amorous pair posing with her son Damian.

She captioned the post: ‘What a happy Christmas .’

Clearly, Billy and Elizabeth – who met in 2022 on the set of the movie Christmas in Paradise and started dating after his marriage to Firerose went up in smoke in 2024 – are still going very strong.

The Austin Powers alum and the country music star went public with their romance in April, and their relationship has continued to grow stronger over recent months.

‘They’ve been together for more than six months now,’ a source told People in October.

‘Despite the skepticism it was always real from the beginning. And they’re going strong.’

The celebrity couple actually have contrasting personalities, but they’re still very happy together.

The insider explained: ‘They’re very different, but it works. They’re so cute together.

‘It’s the kind of connection that surprises people but makes perfect sense when you spend time with them. Liz’s very happy.’

Elizabeth recently revealed that she’s ‘very happy’ with Billy and is delighted that their children get along with each other, too.

The actress revealed her son Damian has met Cyrus’s pop star daughter Miley, 32, and ‘everyone loves everyone’.

Damian is Elizabeth’s only child from her relationship with late businessman Steve Bing, while Billy is the father of six children, including five with his ex-wife Tish Cyrus.

Elizabeth is based in the UK, and Billy lives in Tennessee, but they make a point to spend quality time with each other on both sides of the Atlantic.

She told People that Billy ‘loves it’ in the UK, adding: ‘Obviously he loves England. The weather is nicer here in the summer than it is in Tennessee.’

ON-AIR EXPLOSION: GB News’ Patrick Christys sparked outrage after declaring: “Wouldn’t it be delicious if it’s a jihadi bride from Tower Hamlets that finally ends Sir 𝘒𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘮𝘦𝘳’s political career?”

GB News’ Patrick Christys explodes as ECHR moves to challenge UK ban on Shamima Begum’s return — warning it could END Keir Starmer’s premiership

GB News presenter Patrick Christys has launched a blistering on-air attack after the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) signalled it is prepared to consider an appeal that could force the UK to allow ISIS bride Shamima Begum back into the country — a move he warned may “bring down the Labour government” and finally push Britain out of the Convention altogether.

In a furious monologue that has already gone viral among critics of the ECHR, Christys framed the case as far more than a legal dispute. Instead, he described it as a looming constitutional and political earthquake — one that could expose what he called the “madness” of Britain’s submission to foreign judges and the moral bankruptcy of Labour’s human rights absolutism.

“Wouldn’t it be delicious,” Christys said, “if it turns out that it’s a jihadi bride from Tower Hamlets that finally ends Sir Keir Starmer’s political career?”

A case Labour cannot escape

Shamima Begum, who left the UK at 15 to join ISIS in Syria and later admitted she was “okay” with the group’s beheadings, was stripped of her British citizenship in 2019 on national security grounds. Since then, every major UK court — the Immigration Appeals Commission, the Court of Appeal, and the Supreme Court — has ruled she should not be allowed to return.

But now, her lawyers have taken the fight to Strasbourg.

And that, Christys argued, is where Labour’s nightmare truly_state begins.

“The ECHR doesn’t care what British courts think,” he said. “It has form. Judges from Montenegro, Latvia, Liechtenstein and Slovenia once ruled we couldn’t deport Abu Qatada — an al-Qaeda fanatic. And who represented him? Our current Prime Minister. You couldn’t write it.”

Christys reeled off a string of ECHR decisions he described as “absurd” and “detached from reality” — from blocking deportations over a child’s dislike of foreign chicken nuggets, to stopping the Rwanda scheme, to siding with elderly Swiss women who claimed climate change threatened their lives.

“So forgive me,” he added, “if I don’t trust Strasbourg to suddenly grow common sense.”

Labour boxed in by its own ideology

At the heart of Christys’ argument is Labour’s unbreakable commitment to the ECHR — a commitment explicitly stated by Attorney General Lord Hermer, a close friend and ally of Sir Keir Starmer.

Christys played a clip on air in which Hermer pledged that the UK would never withdraw from the European Convention on Human Rights and would never refuse to comply with its judgments.

“That’s it. Black and white,” Christys said. “No wriggle room. No caveats. No escape.”

This, he argued, leaves Labour fatally exposed.

Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood has insisted she will fight any attempt to bring Begum back. But if the ECHR rules against the UK, Labour faces an impossible choice: defy Strasbourg and shatter its human-rights credentials — or obey and face an explosion of public anger.

“When anonymous foreign judges tell Britain to take back an ISIS bride that every British court has rejected,” Christys warned, “the public are not going to like it. At all.”

‘Game over’ for Starmer

Christys went further, suggesting compliance with an ECHR ruling could spell the end of Starmer’s leadership — especially amid a growing pile-up of politically toxic cases involving terrorism, migration and human rights payouts.

In recent days alone, the government has faced outrage over:

A terror-linked figure being welcomed into political circles

A jailed terrorist being awarded £240,000 in compensation

Growing perceptions that Labour prioritises offenders’ rights over public safety

“Add Shamima Begum to that,” Christys said, “and it’s the cherry on top of the cake.”

He accused Labour of presiding over a “grotesque rebrand” of Begum — from ISIS bride, to misguided schoolgirl, to harmless young mother, to would-be counterterrorism asset.

“This is the same woman who calmly said she knew ISIS were beheading people and she was okay with it,” he said. “That’s not a footnote. That’s the story.”

A reckoning for the ECHR

Beyond Labour, Christys suggested the case could trigger a wider revolt against the ECHR itself.

If Begum were forced back into Britain, he predicted demonstrations, mass calls to leave the Convention, and an electoral backlash that would reward any party promising to restore full legal sovereignty.

“A system that prioritises the ‘rights’ of ISIS sympathisers over the safety of British citizens has forfeited all moral authority,” he said.

In his closing remarks, Christys delivered a line that encapsulated the fury of his commentary — and the political stakes he believes now loom over Westminster.

“Unbelievably,” he said, “thank you, Shamima Begum. Because if it takes an ISIS bride to expose how broken our human rights framework has become, then so be it.”

“And if Sir Keir Starmer’s career ends because he chose international lawyers over the British people,” he added, “that won’t be a tragedy. That will be accountability.”

LOST SECONDS, LOST LIVES: New footage shows the teɾɾifying moment flames spread across the ceiling at a Swiss ski resort — while youngsters filmed instead of fleeing

Harrowing new video has emerged showing flames spreading across the ceiling of a Swiss bar with young revellers losing crucial seconds by filming the blaze instead of fleeing.

The footage, taken by French economics student Ferdinand Du Beaudiez, shows flames ripping through the Crans-Montana club as revellers below continue singing, dancing and shouting, oblivious to the danger building above them.

The inferno killed at least 40 people and another 119 were injured, authorities confirmed today – most of them in their teens and twenties with severe third-degree burns.

While Swiss authorities today said there were 40 victims, Italian authorities said 47 were dead.

Moments before the fire, a waitress had been seen dancing and waving a lit sparkler beneath foam soundproofing panels on the ceiling, which then caught light.

Several people can be seen holding up their phones as the fire grows overhead, apparently unaware they are capturing the moments before disaster strikes.

Some can be seen frantically trying to extinguish the inferno, but within seconds it took hold, erupting into a deadly fireball that engulfs the packed bar.

As the horror unfolded, Ferdinand escaped – then made the extraordinary decision to go back inside.

The brave student has now told how he re-entered the burning Le Constellation basement bar twice in a desperate attempt to save his brother and girlfriend, trying to pull bodies from the flames as chaos and smoke filled the venue.

He told how he found a badly burned person lying on the stairs and couldn’t even tell if it was a man or woman: ‘Their clothes were burned, I could only make out teeth.’

He recalled: ‘I tried to grab this person who was really heavy, but there was no tension in their arm. I just slid him on the ground, then the police and firemen took over from me.’

Beatrice Pilloud, Valais Canton attorney general, confirmed in a press conference today that the blaze was likely caused when sparklers in champagne bottles made the ceiling catch fire.

All bar six of the 119 injured have been formally identified, but the severity of the burn wounds means many survivors and victims are unrecognisable.

Ferdinand, 19, said the New Year’s party had begun joyfully for him and his friends.

He told the Daily Mail: ‘We were in a group of seven, sitting on the veranda at first, on the first floor. We were having a nice party, and we went back and forth between the first floor and the cave (basement).

‘At one moment I saw someone order these champagne bottles and I saw the waitresses take the bottles on their shoulders with sparklers on top.

‘Then one of the sparklers set light to the roof, which was made of insulating foam. I saw the roof catch fire and I went under the bar.

‘And I found some water in the mini fridge. I tried throwing the water on the fire, but the fire had already spread on the whole roof, and it had no effect.’

Ferdinand added that after throwing water on the fire: ‘I went back down, I took my girlfriend’s arm and I screamed to everyone, get out. I pushed my girlfriend as hard as I could up the stairs.

As the horror unfolded, Ferdinand (pictured) escaped – then made the extraordinary decision to go back inside

‘There were so many people in the stairs that I lost her arm.

‘I fell on the ground. I could reach the top of the stairs and I fell on my stomach. My first reflex was to cover my face with my arms and I closed my eyes. At this moment I suppose someone opened the front door.

‘This brought lots of air inside, which also fuelled the fire. And the fire turned into a fireball. I felt this fireball over my head, it slightly burned my neck.

‘At this moment the fire took all the breathable air and I couldn’t breathe anymore.

‘So in a last hope I took the foot of the table and grabbed myself out. At this moment I couldn’t find anyone. I got out near the cinema. I couldn’t find anyone.’

Then the young man took the courageous decision to return inside the inferno, hoping to save his brother and his girlfriend.

‘I went back inside. I found someone, I suppose, I hope he was just unconscious. But my prayers are that he’s still alive. I grabbed him in the stairs and I took him out.

He told how he found a badly burned person lying on the stairs and couldn’t even tell if it was a man or woman: ‘Their clothes were burned, I could only make out teeth’

‘The firemen took him. And I still couldn’t find anyone. I went back inside but I couldn’t breathe anymore.

‘There was too much smoke and I couldn’t breathe. So I went back out. I found a friend of mine who was really burned. He asked me, where is your girlfriend?

‘I found my girlfriend completely in shock. She told me my brother and his friends were near the bank over there.’

Ferdinand’s brother is in a coma in hospital, among the injured, but is expected to make a recovery, he said.
