Victoria, 50, also admitted she does her best to wear as little as possible when the lights go out, adding: ‘I tend to wear nothing, but David bought me these little sets from Agent Provocateur.’

The former Spice Girl also admitted their former Hertfordshire home – dubbed Beckingham Palace by the couple – set the tone for their raunchy antics.

‘There’s a room like a tart’s boudoir, with leopard print everywhere and a mirrored ceiling,” she revealed.

‘Then there’s our bedroom, which is quite virginal and white, with a big four-poster, old-oak bed.’

In 2008, nine years after their lavish wedding ceremony at 15th century Luttrellstown Castle in Ireland, the fashion designer praised her husband’s physique while he modelled underwear for Emporio Armani.

‘I still have a really good sex life with David,’ she told Allure. ‘He is very much in proportion.

‘He does have a huge one, though. You can see it in the advert. It’s all his. It’s like a tractor exhaust pipe!’

And during an appearance on US talk show The View, Victoria – who famously refers to her husband as Golden Balls – insisted there was still plenty of physical chemistry between them.

‘Obviously he’s incredibly good looking,’ she told the panel.  ‘But David is the most wonderful husband and fantastic father, a real inspiration to all of us.

‘He’s hard-working. I’m lucky to have him as my soulmate.’

More recently, Victoria revealed how David bought a brand new Prada suit just to ‘impress her’ on their first date after she said she liked the brand.

The fashion designer opened up about the beginning of their relationship in an episode of the new Disney + documentary In Vogue: The 90s.

Discussing her love for designer clothes, she recalled: ‘Versace, Prada, and Gucci, they were my go-to designers. What was it they were getting right at the time? I suppose they really understood the power of celebrity.

‘The Italians embraced that. When I first met David in 1997 he’d heard that I was the Spice Girl that liked the designer clothes.’

She added: ‘So, after me going to a couple of football matches and I would say, you know, me sort of like, pursuing him, he’d probably say me stalking him, we arranged to go out on a date together.

‘He’s like, “I don’t know what to wear, she’s the one who likes designer clothes,” and so he actually went out and bought himself a full Prada look for our first date, to impress me.’

Laughing, she added: ‘Which it did, because it was Prada.’

In a stunning turn of events, Meghan Markle is reportedly fuming after King Charles made the controversial decision to remove Prince Harry from his role as a councillor of state.

This quiet yet significant change, enacted through the Councillors of State Act 2022, has sparked intense reactions from the Duchess of Sussex, who has not held back in expressing her discontent.

The councillors of state play a crucial role, stepping in to perform royal duties when the monarch is unable to do so.

In a stunning turn of events, Meghan Markle is reportedly fuming after King Charles made the controversial decision to remove Prince Harry from his role as a councillor of state.

This quiet yet significant change, enacted through the Councillors of State Act 2022, has sparked intense reactions from the Duchess of Sussex, who has not held back in expressing her discontent.

The councillors of state play a crucial role, stepping in to perform royal duties when the monarch is unable to do so.

This includes attending privy council meetings and signing official documents.

Traditionally, this position has been reserved for the monarch’s spouse and the first four successors over the age of 21.

However, recent changes have altered the landscape, now limiting the role to only working members of the royal family.

This shift has left Prince Harry out in the cold, especially following his decision to step back from royal duties.

The exclusion stems from concerns surrounding Prince Andrew’s association with Jeffrey Epstein, which has further complicated the eligibility criteria for councillors.

Meghan is reportedly furious about this development, issuing stern warnings to King Charles in hopes of restoring her husband’s position.

An insider close to the Sussexes revealed that Meghan is not just upset; she is determined to fight for Harry’s reappointment.

She fears that this change could hinder Harry’s ability to support the king during critical times, potentially jeopardizing the security of the royal family.

Her anger is palpable, as she perceives this move as a direct attack on Harry’s standing within the royal household.

Despite Meghan’s efforts, the monarchy appears firm in its decision.

A palace representative emphasized that the modifications were made to enhance the efficiency of royal operations.

The role of councillors of state is vital, and ensuring that these duties are performed by fully engaged members of the family is seen as essential for maintaining the monarchy’s integrity.

The decision to limit this role to active royals was not taken lightly.

It reflects a broader strategy to streamline royal functions and ensure that those in positions of authority are fully committed to their responsibilities.

This careful consideration underscores the importance of stability and effective governance within the monarchy.

While Meghan’s frustration is understandable, the monarchy’s leadership is focused on what they believe to be the best path forward.

They argue that such decisions are made with the long-term health of the institution in mind, balancing the needs of the royal family with public expectations.

As tensions rise, it remains to be seen how this situation will unfold.

Meghan’s determination to challenge the decision highlights her unwavering commitment to her husband and their place within the royal framework.

Yet, the palace’s steadfastness suggests a significant rift may be forming between the Sussexes and the rest of the royal family.

This episode serves as a reminder of the complexities inherent in royal life, where personal feelings often clash with institutional protocols.

The stakes are high, and both sides are poised to defend their positions vigorously.

Ultimately, the future of Prince Harry’s role within the monarchy hangs in the balance, with Meghan leading the charge for change.

Former Love Island star Olivia Attwood has hit out at the ‘misogynistic’ rumours behind her I’m A Celebrity exit after learning of them on social media once she was given her mobile phone back

Olivia Attwood has spoken out for the first time since her shock early exit from this year’s I’m A Celebrity, which left viewers confused and speculating over the reason for her departure.

The former Love Island star hit out at one such rumour – that she was pregnant – describing the false claim as ‘misogynistic’.

Within 24 hours of jumping out of a helicopter alongside radio DJ Chris Moyles and carrying out her first challenge in the jungle alongside Loose Women’s Charlene White, the 31-year old found herself being rushed to Aussie A&E by concerned doctors and ITV staff.

Speaking to Mail Online, Olivia said the drama came about as a result of a routine blood test, which all campmates undergo randomly throughout the course of the show.

And unfortunately for Olivia her test showed she was dangerously anaemic, as well as having low sodium and potassium levels, which sadly aren’t conducive to jungle life.

“The results were really, really low when they put them into their reader and they consulted with another doctor off site,” she explained. “I had those bloods done in England before I left, and they were fine. I was confused and of course very, very worried.”

She added: “I was so scared, I was like “what the hell is wrong with me?’. ‘They couldn’t give me an answer, they just told me that they had to get me to the hospital immediately.”

Despite all of this Olivia said she was feeling ‘fine’.

What she wasn’t fine about, however, was the immediate aftermath in which several incorrect rumours began to circulate on social media.

One suggested Olivia’s ADHD – which she was diagnosed with several years ago – would affect her ability to live in camp.

Another suggested that by visiting hospital she had broken a Covid bubble and it wouldn’t be safe for her to reunite with her fellow contestants.

But the star was really riled by rumours she described as ‘misogynistic’ that she’d realised she was too weak for the show or that she was pregnant.

After repeating her blood tests in Australia, results came back fine paving the way for her return – or so she thought.

Instead ITV bosses took her to a hotel to get some rest, leaving her confused whilst staff discussed what would happen next.

Unfortunately a knock on her room’s door the next morning by a producer led to the news that the broadcaster wasn’t willing to risk her return on the grounds that if her low levels dropped again ‘it could be detrimental to her health and wellbeing’. And as ITV wasn’t willing to authorise her return, she couldn’t be insured.

Distraught, Olivia flew back to England to be with family and her Blackburn Rovers footballer boyfriend Brad Dack. Prior to the flight she was given her phone back and she began to read about what the I’m A Celeb audience was speculating about her exit, much of which, she says, felt misogynistic.

“I mean, I saw on Twitter that I was pregnant. I’m not. There is an underlying misogynistic feel to the rhetoric,” she explained.

“They’re saying, ‘I bet she fainted’ or ‘I bet she was scared of sleeping outside’ or that ‘she didn’t fancy it because it was raining’. The reason it was so frustrating is because I am the complete opposite of that – and to make it more irritating, people could see on the show that I was absolutely loving it.

“There was nothing I would have said no to in the jungle. I loved it from the first hour and I was embracing every moment of it. I’m a nature geek, so I loved seeing all the bugs, and I even saw a kangaroo.”

Stacey Solomon has said that she was conflicted over Matt Hancock being on I’m A Celebrity. Stacey and her husband Joe Swash have both won the ITV series, but she said that she was unsure whether or not she would stay in camp if she was in this year

Stacey Solomon has called Matt Hancock’s presence on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! a “kick in the face”.

Joining her Loose Women co-hosts, Stacey waded into the debate over whether the former health secretary should have accepted the gig in the first place.

She hit out at the politician for ignoring the social distancing guidelines that he had implemented, and the excuse he made on the show for discarding them.

During last night’s show, Babatunde Aleshe asked Matt how he’s been and after the MP confessed that it had been tough, he added: “Because you messed up”.

“I messed up and I fessed up,” Matt replied, “before adding that he ‘fell in love’”.

Stacey Solomon says that she understands why camp mates feel uncomfortable (

“You didn’t just fall in love, you were grabbing the booty,” Babatunde laughed.

But Stacey wasn’t impressed with this and explained to the audience how she couldn’t understand why people cheat.

“He’s sitting there, I dunno, like I love my grandma, I didn’t get to see her for two and a half years and I wasn’t snogging her,” she fumed.

Stacey said that everyone has their reasons for going on the show (

“I almost feel like it’s a bit of a kick in the face,” the mum-of-four added.

She wasn’t alone in her thoughts on the matter after Carol McGiffin said she was “disgusted” that he was on the ITV primetime show.

Responding to Nadiya’s claims that he was a “hapless fool”, Carol said: “He’s not a fool. He’s doing a party political broadcast still, while he’s in there.

“It shouldn’t be allowed. I’m disgusted that he’s in there. I’m absolutely disgusted.”

Carol has refused to watch it until Matt is voted off.

“I totally get where you’re coming from so I don’t think you’re weird,” Stacey told Carol.

Carol replied: “With the Matt thing?”

“I get it, it’s a hard one,” Stacey confessed.

Stacey won the 10th series of the show in 2010, and her husband Joe Swash was also crowned King of the Jungle in 2008.

Kay Adams said that she was impressed by how the contestants handled Matt joining the group, but Stacey was unsure how she would cope if she were in their shoes.

“I don’t know what I’d do if I was a campmate in there,” Stacey said.

“It must be so hard for them this year.

“Some of them have gone in there to boost their careers, some have gone in for money reasons,” she added.

“Whatever reason we decide to do the show for, and you know that is going to be completely dictated by someone else now.”

Earlier this year, Charlene White burst into tears as she recalled burying her aunt during the pandemic, months before she found herself opposite Matt Hancock on I’m A Celeb

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!’s Charlene White was in tears discussing her aunt’s death during an emotional segment earlier this year.

The 42-year-old and the Loose Women panellists were discussing Boris Johnson’s lockdown parties following his apology in January.

She told Linda Robson, Nadia Sawalha and Carol McGiffin about the day she had to bury her beloved aunt.

Discussing the tragic moment on the ITV show which aired in January, she said: “My family stuck by the rules. We had to bury family members without being able to hug each other. I had to sit in a crematorium where my aunt was buried.

“Because I wasn’t living in the same household as my brother and sister and my dad, I was in a pew by myself with my baby daughter on my lap as we’re all in floods of tears and we can’t hug each other.”

Charlene opened up about her aunt’s funeral (

She cried some more as she explained: “I stood by the graveside as grave diggers were filling that grave and watching my cousin in floods of tears and not being able to hug her because we were following the rules because we didn’t know what else to do.

“We were told we had to follow the rules so we were following the rules with the understanding that those in charge were also doing the same thing.”

Charlene admitted Boris’ decision to attend the event made her rethink her actions that day.

“I just think, should I have just hugged my cousin?” she explained through tears, as she added, “If we weren’t all supposed to follow the rules, should have I just hugged my cousin?”

Meanwhile, Charlene is currently taking part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! alongside the Chester-born MP.

The broadcaster called Matt out for socialising with somebody outside of his household bubble during the lockdown, which eventually cost him, his job.

My aunt died from Covid in the first wave. So, we couldn’t go to the hospital to go and visit her. I had to sit by myself in the church at her funeral.

“We couldn’t hug each other because we were following guidance. And I get that you fell in love, I understand all of those things, but sorry for a lot of families like mine doesn’t really cut it.”

Matt said: “Yeah. Well, there you go. That’s one of the reasons that I regret it as much as I do.”

 

Carol McGiffin wasn’t at all impressed with Matt Hancock’s decision to join I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. The Loose Women panellists shared their views on the

Loose Women star Carol McGiffin has said that she’s “disgusted” by Matt Hancock’s decision to join I’m A Celebrity and is refusing to watch the programme.

Last night 9.1million people were glued to the television as the former health secretary stumbled into the camp.

He was joined by comedian Seann Walsh and not long after meeting his campmates, Loose Women’s Charlene White took him aside and questioned his motives.

Nadia Sawalha said how she nearly didn’t watch the programme, but ended up caving and explained how she spent the first five minutes laughing.

“I think part of that was Seann Walsh’s absolute relief that another cheater was with him, so the heat was going to be taken off him.”

Seann burst out laughing when he met Matt for the first time, and Nadia said that she thinks his reaction was “almost relief”.

Nadia said how she “couldn’t stop laughing” as she watched the programme, adding that she had “tears rolling down her face”.

But the other panellists didn’t share her opinion on the controversy.

Carol looked uncomfortable as Nadia talked about how much she enjoyed last night’s episode.

Nadia did add that her opinions changed after Charlene stuck some tough questions to Matt, which saw him explain why he thought it was alright to leave parliament because: “Rishi is a really good guy”.

She called Matt an “egotistical hapless fool” and said that it just highlights the hands that the country was in during the pandemic.

Carol jumped in and said: “He’s not a fool. He’s doing a party political broadcast still, while he’s in there.

“It shouldn’t be allowed. I’m disgusted that he’s in there. I’m absolutely disgusted.”

Judi Love said that she believes the country can sometimes be tricked into thinking that politicians are “bumbling fools”, but she argued that they are “confident” and “groomed to do this from when they were young”.

The comedian added: “The fact the country is in disaray and we are going through all this stuff like strikes and nurses and what happened in the pandemic and he can sit there, in a show, where he is being paid and still turn around and say “everything is alright”.

“His true self will be shown,” Judi added.

Carol raised her voice: “Oh what, and you haven’t seen it already?”

Nadiya said she had mixed feelings on Matt joining the show (

She said: “If he had a shred of decency he wouldn’t have gone in.”

The 62-year-old said that if she was in the jungle she would have walked out.

“I would have said stuff your fee, I’m going. There’s no way I would share that space with that man.

“It’s ruined,” she added.

Gemma has recently opened up to her fans about the steps she is taking to save cash amid the cost of living crisis admitting that even the GC isn’t immune to feeling the squeeze in the current financial climate.

Talking on her podcast she said: “The cost of living crisis, yes I have the news on, I try not to but I said I’m going to spend October and November trying to make sensible cutbacks because if you look after the pennies they look after you,” she advised her listeners.

“I have done something with every meal time, I go into my cupboards and make some serious cutbacks like everyone else. It is scary, mortgages are going up, electrics going up. I’m telling everyone not to put the heating on in my house.

“I’m making sure every lights are off, I normally have every TV switched on in the room – not necessarily watching something, but I’d have TV on in one room, music on in the other, but I’ve really been mindful to cut back on all of that.”

“And I want to do so much. I want to go on holiday, instead of filming one. I want to you know, I want to write, I want to be creative. I want to have time in my lovely home.

“You know, and I want to be here for my family. You know, my, my niece is just about to have a baby. And we’re all very excited about that.

” And I want to be around, I want to be around for them all just for a while to like sort myself out and then stop working as much as I do. Because I work constantly.”

Loose Men is to return on Friday for a special episode to tackle men’s health taboos, with Jake Quickenden set to receive a testicular examination in front of a studio audience on the show

Loose Men is to return on Friday for a special episode to tackle men’s health taboos.

The male-led version of the popular show Loose Women will return to ITV1 on Friday 18th November at 12.30pm, to mark International Men’s Day this weekend. Vernon Kay is set to host whilst he will be joined by actor Larry Lamb, singer Olly Murs and TV and sports personality Ade Adepitan MBE

The discussions will focus around men’s health, love and loneliness in a bid to tackle taboos. I’m A Celebrity star Jake Quickenden will also speak about his health anxiety after losing his father and brother to cancer. He will receive a testicular examination from Good Morning Britain and Lorraine’s doctor, Dr Amir Khan, in front of a studio audience on the show.

Speaking about his hosting duties, Vernon said: “It’s always exciting to host Loose Men and in general, it’s really important to talk about both men’s physical and mental health. This particular show will highlight how important it is for men to not succumb to the stigma of talking about body issues – let’s get rid of all that! I’ll be joined by a new panel this time and I always find it interesting to hear about the different things people have been through and their thoughts too.”

Ade Adepitan will be making his debut on Loose Men tomorrow and is excited to share the panel with his co-stars.

He added: “It’s an honour to be part of this panel and have a platform to talk about the issues that affect us all as men. If we can help at least one guy off the back of this, then it’s worth it. This is also my first time on the panel and I have no doubt that even I will learn a thing or two from the gentlemen sitting beside me on the show!”

Actor Larry Lamb said of his stint on the show: “I’ve enjoyed every moment of being a guest on Loose Women over the years and I think a show like Loose Men is very, very, very much needed.

“Men don’t talk enough and frankly, men need to and see other men talking. It’s a huge necessity to get guys talking and for other men to understand that if they’ve got feelings that they feel odd about, there’s a way to climb out of that.”

Olly Murs hopes he can encourage other men to talk about their thoughts and feelings.

“I’m looking forward to sitting on the panel for Loose Men, to celebrate International Men’s Day. I’ve always been a pretty open book, so hopefully it will encourage more men to talk and share their thoughts and feelings on lots of issues,” he said.

Judi Love was not impressed by Matt Hancock’s leadership skills, when the campmates were allowed to put forward who they wanted to do the next trial on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!

Judi Love was quick to call out Matt Hancock ‘s leadership skills, or lack of, as camp leader in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here!

The Loose Women panellists were left shocked after Wednesday night’s (16 November) instalment of the ITV reality show, that saw Lioness Jill Scott be talked over by her male campmates as she volunteered for the trial.

Former Conservative MP Matt, put himself forward for the trial without even asking if any of the other celebrities would like to do it as Jill could be heard saying: “I don’t mind doing it.”

As the leader of the camp, Kelly Holmes was unimpressed that Matt didn’t demonstrate his ‘leadership skills’ by asking if anyone else would like to do the trial, as he’d already done so many.

Judi Love said that Matt Hancock showed he wasn’t a “proper leader” on I’m A Celeb by not holding a vote for who should do the trial

“She would probably in normal situations be right up there, and I don’t know what it was about that,” Kelly began.

“Matt Hancock put his hand up again and again,” she continued, “And he should have been a proper leader, a true leader, he should have said right who hasn’t done and who wants to do a trial? I’ve done loads, right, Jill, Mike, whatever, he should have led that.”

Judi replied: “You said it right, if he was a proper leader.”

Judi and the panellists were surprised when Jill Scott was overlooked and didn’t speak up about doing the trial
Despite the celebrities picking Mike Tindall MBE, hungry boy Owen Warner and Matt to do the trial, snippets ahead of tonight’s episode do see the Lioness take part in the fun-fair themed tasks.

The panellist’s criticism of Matt comes after there have been over 1,000 Ofcom complaints about the former Health Secretary competing in the reality series.

Meanwhile, England footballer, Jill, has become a fan-favourite amongst viewers for supporting Owen and her cracking one-liners, and she has even been dubbed “Queen Jill.”

Kelly Holmes agreed that if Matt was a “true leader” he would have asked if anyone else wanted to do the trial, not just volunteered himself again

“Can we now collectively agree Jill is queen of the jungle,” one fan tweeted, as another agreed: “Jill is such an angel.”

Before other fans cited some of her one-liners including “Just be clear are these guidelines, or rules?” in reference to Matt saying he broke his own guidelines with an affair, but not the rules or laws set out.

And another Matt-related quip included after their run around the camp, she said “If he collapses, I’m not giving mouth to mouth” and left everyone laughing.
