  • Loose Women’s Andrea McLean ‘glad’ to be axed from Strictly after intense training

    Loose Women’s Andrea McLean ‘glad’ to be axed from Strictly after intense training

    Loose Women’s Andrea McLean was on the reserve list for Strictly Come Dancing, but says she was ‘relieved’ when she wasn’t needed after hours of ‘scary’ practicing

    Former Loose Women host, Andrea McLean, has admitted she was “relieved” when Strictly Come Dancing bosses told her she wouldn’t be on the show.

    The seasoned presenter, 54, was on the reserves list for the BBC staple, which has just announced chaperones will be present in the training rooms for all future series after Graziano Di Prima is alleged to have mistreated last year’s contestant Zara McDermott.

    Despite not making it onto the show, Andrea says she still had to practice, which she says she found “so scary”. Speaking about the experience in a interview before Graziano was axed from the show following the misconduct claims, she said: “I think I was the only celebrity who was relieved when they were told they weren’t needed.”

    She continued in Woman’s Own: “Even just practicing was so scary, so when I came home, I thought to myself: ‘Thank God, now I can just watch it.’”

    The beloved BBC show has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons recently. Just weeks after it was revealed Giovanni Pernice 33, had been axed from the new series of Strictly after the broadcaster launched an investigation into his ‘bullying’ behaviour in the training room with Amanda Abbington – which the Sicilian denies – Graziano, has also been dropped after claims he behaved inappropriately towards Love Island star, Zara.

    Following the bombshell news, Graziano took to his Instagram page to share a statement and said he “deeply regrets the events that led to my departure”. He also added: “When the time is right, I will share my story.” Giovanni, meanwhile, has always strenuously denied the allegations against him.

    Zara broke her silence on Tuesday, saying she has been “wrestling with the fear of opening up” in a poignant post on Instagram. Stating the Strictly call was a “dream come true” having wanted to be on the show since she was a “little girl”, she shared: “Reports have been made about my treatment on the show and there were witnesses to some events, as well as videos of particular incidents, which are incredibly distressing to watch.

    Following her statement, the BBC made one of its own, confirming it would be making changes ahead of the new series, predominantly to rehearsals. They wrote: “The BBC is today announcing additional steps to strengthen welfare and support on Strictly Come Dancing. Concerns that have arisen in recent months have been fundamentally about training and rehearsals.

    “The actions we announce today are designed to address that. We have taken the decision to introduce the following additional practical steps. Going forward, we will have a production team member present during training room rehearsals at all times; increase existing support with the addition of two new roles on the show dedicated to welfare support – a Celebrity Welfare Producer and a Professional Dancer Welfare Producer; and deliver further training for the production team and crew.”

    Kate Phillips, BBC’s Director of Unscripted, added: “Whilst we know our shows have been positive experiences for the vast majority of those who have taken part, if issues are raised with us, or we’re made aware of inappropriate behaviour, we will always take that seriously and act. Concerns that have arisen have been fundamentally related to training and rehearsals. The decisive steps we have taken and are announced today, act to further strengthen the welfare and support in place for everyone involved.”

    LADY Colin Campbell has branded Meghan Markle “cheap and vulgar” in an explosive new interview.

    The author, 69, who has published three books on the royals, has also urged the Duchess of Sussex to stop acting like a celebrity.

    Speaking to Closer magazine she said: “She was never an A-lister, so she needs to stop acting like one.

    “Royalty do not behave like celebrities do. It’s cheap, vulgar and irresponsible.”

    The royal writer went on to say that Meghan was “letting down” those who admire her by behaving this way.

    This is not the first time that Lady Colin has warned the Duchess of Sussex of being wary of her behaviour.

    In April she advised that Meghan should avoid becoming a “political activist” as the “royals must represent all of the people” and she should know when “keep her mouth shut”.

    Lady Colin added: “There are many conservative people, all over the world, many religious people, who do not have these ‘woke’ and ‘right-on’ views.”

    The project saw the Duchess of Sussex select 15 women to be featured on the cover, choosing not to star herself, whom she hails “forces for change.”

    The magazine has sparked a storm of protest, with critics reminding Meghan that royals must remain neutral at all times.

    Meghan has since been criticsed for the “leftie” cover by Leo McKinstry who, similarly to Lady Colin, warns Meghan must stay out of politics like Kate.

    Brexit Party MEP Ann Widdecombe said: “Royals have not only got to keep out of politics but they have got to be seen to keep out of politics.”

    Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, said: “The Duchess of Sussex has done a huge favour for the House of Conde Naste (Vogue’s publisher) and rather less for the House of Windsor.”

    In other royal news, we told you how the Queen “will gift Meghan and Harry a holiday home” according to a royal expert.

    It was revealed that the Queen has a secret Love Island connection after villa owner revealed as distant granddaughter of Queen Victoria.

    Watch: Prince Harry’s Memoir Spare: 5 BIGGEST Bombshells

    In the case of books vs. family, Judge Judy Sheindlin has reached her ruling.

    As Prince Harry continues to make headlines after sharing family confessions in his memoir Spare, the host of Judy Justice has a warning to her relatives if they choose to go a similar route.

    “I will tell you that I would be furious, and would think that that child or grandchild was a selfish, spoiled, ungrateful one,” Judy said on the Jan. 10 episode of Good Morning Britain. “That’s what I would feel, and be really hurt.”

    While host Noel Phillips reported that Judy had refused to comment directly about Prince Harry and wife Meghan Markle, the former family court judge suggested that the idea of writing a book may not be the best idea.

    “I think anybody—anybody with a brain—would see that it’s disingenuous,” she said when asked to share her feeling if a family member had done what they had done. “It’s biting the hand that fed you, it’s unseemly.”

    All the Major Bombshells From Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Docuseries

    Prince Harry’s highly anticipated memoir officially hit bookshelves on Jan. 10. In the 416-page tome, the Duke of Sussex explores a variety of topics, including his fractured relationship with brother Prince William and his father King Charles III‘s second marriage to Camilla Parker Bowles.

    While the book ranked No. 1 on Amazon’s nonfiction bestseller list and Barnes & Noble’s top 100 sellers on release day, some stars have spoken out against the project with CNN’s Don Lemon questioning, “What exactly is he achieving by airing family dirty laundry?”

    But according to Harry, he’s just speaking his experience.

    “I will sit here and speak truth to you with the words that come out of my mouth,” he said on 60 Minutes Jan. 8, “rather than using someone else, an unnamed source, to feed in lies or a narrative to a tabloid media that literally radicalizes its readers to then potentially cause harm to my family, my wife, my kids.”

    How Charles Broke the News About Princess Diana’s Death

    Prince Harry describes the moment his father told him that Princess Diana had been in a fatal car crash, writing that King Charles III, then the Prince of Wales, had a difficult time finding the right words.

    Mummy was quite badly injured and taken to a hospital, darling boy,” Harry recalls his dad saying. “He always called me ‘darling boy,’ but he was saying it quite a lot now. His voice was soft. He was in shock, it seemed.”

    When Charles ultimately said, “I’m afraid she didn’t make it,” for Harry, “everything seemed to come to a stop.”

    He continues: “What I do remember with startling clarity is that I didn’t cry. Not one tear.”

    Moreover, “Pa didn’t hug me. He wasn’t great at showing emotions under normal circumstances, how could he be expected to show them in such a crisis? But his hand did fall once more on my knee and he said: It’s going to be OK. That was quite a lot for him. Fatherly, hopeful, kind. And so very untrue.”

  • European Polo Championship Chief Shreds Prince Harry’s Ticket After He Demands $70K to Attend the Event

    European Polo Championship Chief Shreds Prince Harry’s Ticket After He Demands $70K to Attend the Event

    European Polo Championship Chief Shreds Prince Harry’s Ticket After He Demands $70K to Attend the Event

    Word on the street says Prince Harry got torn a new one recently when he tried charging a massive $70,000 appearance fee to attend a polo event by none other than the head of the prestigious European Polo Championship himself.

    Now, we all know polo has long been one of Harry’s passions, with him playing for charity matches for years.

    So when organizers extended an invite for him to attend their grand opener, they naturally assumed he’d be honored to support the sport pro bono as a celebrity patron.

    But sources say invitations went out with Harry’s people shockingly responding that he expected a $70,000 payment simply for showing up and rubbing shoulders with VIP spectators for a couple of hours. Talk about a prince expecting to cash in on his royal title, am I right?European Polo Championship Chief Shreds Prince Harry's Ticket After He Demands $70K to Attend the Event

    Anywho, that’s when the fireworks erupted. Apparently furious at the absurd request, European Polo Championship Chief Diego Sodano tore into Harry like a snow leopard during a very heated phone call, demanding to know if he was off his rocker for believing his presence alone merited such an exorbitant fee. Now, I can’t confirm exactly what was said in the heat of the moment, but witnesses claim Diego tore the invitation to literal pieces while passionately reminding Harry that, unlike Hollywood, being a royal meant using one’s platform to uplift charitable causes, not line their own pockets. He also gave a little lecture about giving back to the sport that had provided so many memories for Harry without expectation of payment. In not so many polite words, Diego informed Harry his services, both on and off the field, would be better spent elsewhere if money was the priority versus goodwill. Ouch.

    Now, friends, I can only imagine the steam shooting out of both men’s ears during that blistering takedown across the pond. Sources say a red-faced Harry sheepishly ended the call while Diego’s staff celebrated their boss drawing a hard line against Sussex entitlement and opportunism. Of course, Harry’s advisers spun it as a scheduling conflict preventing attendance, but no one believes that bogus excuse after such a monumental public shaming from a figure revered in polo circles. So in the end, it seems our formerly fun-loving prince got a harsh lesson that his royal brand doesn’t translate into a blank check everywhere he goes. With global fame must also come responsibility, something Harry is still adjusting to post-Megxit, it seems.

    So, in summary, it looks like Harry learned the hard way that European polo bigwigs have no time for money-grubbing freeloaders, royal or not. Gotta love Diego for putting our wayward prince firmly back in his place. They’re obviously still trying to do damage control as news spreads. The championship chairman called me a short while ago to apologize profusely for any misunderstanding between us, though I think they were just as stunned by Harry’s cash demand. Moving forward, they’ve made it clear no royal family members or sponsors will be subjected to any hosting fees. This event is to promote the sport, not personal profiteering. So in that sense, hopefully, a valuable lesson has been learned.

    That said, tearing up the form was still an overreaction on my part and not the professional way to handle such a situation, so I may owe an apology to Harry’s team too when things calm down. Either way, it’s sadly put a damper on an otherwise magnificent finale. All we can do now is wait and see how things unfold.

    Invictus Games, a prestigious international sporting event for wounded and sick servicemen and women, has announced a major change for its upcoming 10th anniversary.

    Prince Harry, the Duke of Sussex, received a significant blow as he readies himself for his return to the UK to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the Invictus Games, the sports event he co-founded for wounded, injured, or sick veterans and Armed Forces Personnel.

    Anticipating celebrating the accomplishments and resilience of the Invictus Games community, Harry was blindsided by the news that he would no longer serve as its patron. Instead, Mike Tindall, a former rugby player and paralympian, was appointed to take over Harry’s role.

    This decision, made by Invictus Games CEO Dominic Reed, left Harry stunned and furious, sparking widespread controversy and backlash among fans and participants of the games.

    One participant said: “I am one of the many Canadians 🇨🇦 who signed the petition and wrote to the Invictus Games to express my utter disdain for the Circus created by Harry and Meghan out at the 2023 Invictus Games in Dusseldorf. We Canadians will not tolerate such nonsense. We welcome the athletes and their families in Vancouver without this terrible duo marching like a Trollope in front of the British 🇬🇧 veterans was the last straw. Meghan should go back to working on a yacht or a strip club I don’t know if this report is accurate, but I’m praying. I will continue to protest.”

     

  • BREAKING NEWS! Harry Confirms Divorce From Meg Due To Infidelity: I Made A Mistake MARRYING A WH0RE!

    BREAKING NEWS! Harry Confirms Divorce From Meg Due To Infidelity: I Made A Mistake MARRYING A WH0RE!

    The Scandalous Allegations Surrounding Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and Doria Ragland: What Really Happened?

    In a shocking twist, new claims have emerged that paint a far more scandalous picture of what led to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s abrupt departure from the UK and their senior royal duties. The royal exit, originally framed as a move for privacy and independence, may have been triggered by much deeper, more personal issues than anyone initially imagined.

    The Move to Los Angeles: Privacy or Escape?
    In early 2020, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made headlines worldwide when they announced their decision to step back from their roles as senior members of the British royal family. They soon relocated to Los Angeles, Meghan’s hometown, citing their desire for privacy and a more peaceful life. However, this sudden move sparked widespread speculation about the true reasons behind their departure, with many questioning the abruptness and secrecy surrounding their exit.

    Roger Federer’s Shocking Claims
    Adding fuel to the fire, tennis star Roger Federer reportedly claimed that Meghan Markle had distanced herself from her mother, Doria Ragland, in an attempt to hide Doria’s past criminal record. Federer suggested that Doria felt used and discarded by Meghan once her presence became a potential issue. Despite the seriousness of these allegations, neither Meghan nor Harry addressed the claims publicly, and Doria remained silent, further deepening the mystery surrounding the family’s dynamics.

    Doria Ragland’s Private Investigation: A Mother’s Concern
    According to multiple sources, Doria Ragland has spent the past year conducting her own private investigation, uncovering shocking details about what really happened between Meghan and Harry. The most explosive revelation is that Prince Harry did not leave the UK and royal family to support Meghan, but rather because he discovered evidence of her alleged infidelity.

    Allegations of Infidelity: The Breaking Point
    Doria’s investigation reportedly uncovered proof of multiple affairs Meghan had been involved in, both in the United States and the United Kingdom. These affairs allegedly involved prominent American actors, politicians, and even a British reality star. The evidence, said to include intimate messages, emails, and photos, was so compelling that Doria felt compelled to anonymously send it to Prince Harry at Kensington Palace.

    Upon receiving this evidence, Harry was reportedly devastated. He confronted Meghan, who allegedly broke down and admitted to the affairs, blaming the stress of royal life and constant media scrutiny for her actions. However, the damage was already done. According to insiders, Harry wasted no time in filing for legal separation, citing adultery as the grounds.

    The Fallout: A Royal Family in Crisis
    As news of the separation began to leak, Meghan’s reputation took a severe hit. Faced with the prospect of a very public and humiliating divorce, Meghan allegedly attempted to negotiate with Harry, proposing a move to the United States as a way to escape the scrutiny and rebuild their lives together. However, Harry was reportedly firm in his decision, offering Meghan an ultimatum: agree to a private separation or face a public divorce battle that would expose every detail of her alleged affairs.

    In a desperate attempt to avoid further scandal, Meghan chose to leave the UK and moved in with her mother, Doria, in Los Angeles. The move was so hasty that she reportedly didn’t even have time to clean out their home in Britain.

    The Aftermath: Uncertain Futures
    As the dust settles on these explosive allegations, the future of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle remains uncertain. Their relationship, once the subject of public admiration, now appears to be in deep crisis. The impact of these revelations on their public image, their charitable ventures, and their personal lives is yet to be fully seen.

    In the world of royalty and celebrity, where public perception is everything, the consequences of these allegations could be far-reaching. As more details continue to emerge, the narrative surrounding Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s departure from the royal family may forever be altered.

    Conclusion:
    While these claims are based on insider reports and unverified sources, they present a compelling alternative perspective on one of the most talked-about events in recent royal history. As always, it’s essential to approach such stories with caution and recognize that the truth may be far more complex than any single account can capture.
    The video you’re referring to claims to reveal a series of explosive and scandalous events that allegedly took place between Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, and her mother, Doria Ragland. According to the narrative, these events supposedly led to their departure from the UK and the royal family. The claims include accusations of Meghan’s infidelity, which were reportedly uncovered by Doria through private detective work, and a legal separation initiated by Prince Harry as a result.

    The video suggests that Meghan had multiple affairs, some with prominent American figures and a British reality star. It also claims that Doria sent a package of evidence to Prince Harry, leading him to confront Meghan and file for legal separation. The video further alleges that Meghan attempted to negotiate with Harry to avoid a public scandal, ultimately resulting in her abrupt move to Los Angeles.

    It’s important to approach such content with a critical mindset. This type of sensational storytelling often lacks credible evidence and may be based on rumors, speculation, or unfounded claims. The privacy and personal lives of public figures like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are frequently subject to intense scrutiny, but not all information circulating is accurate or trustworthy.

    The content you’ve shared appears to discuss a controversy surrounding Meghan Markle’s age, suggesting that she might be 51 instead of 43, and the potential fallout from this revelation within the Sussex family.

    However, it’s important to note that this narrative doesn’t align with widely accepted facts. Meghan Markle was born on August 4, 1981, making her 43 years old in 2024.

    The story you’re referencing seems to be speculative or fictional, as there are no credible sources or evidence supporting such claims.

    If you’re looking for accurate information about Meghan Markle, I’d recommend consulting reliable news outlets or official statements.

    The article you’re referencing discusses a highly controversial and unverified claim about Meghan Markle’s age, suggesting that she may actually be 51 years old, rather than 43, as widely believed.

    According to this narrative, an insider allegedly close to Meghan’s mother, Doria Ragland, has stated that Meghan was born in 1973, not 1981. This claim is purportedly supported by a birth certificate and recent photos of Meghan that some critics argue show signs of aging inconsistent with her publicly known age.

    The article goes on to describe the supposed fallout from this revelation, including reports of Prince Harry feeling shocked and betrayed by the news, leading to tensions within their marriage and even discussions of divorce.

    The piece emphasizes how this controversy has not only affected Meghan and Harry personally but has also ignited a media storm, with significant speculation about their future.

    It’s important to approach such claims with caution, as they are based on anonymous sources and have not been substantiated by credible evidence.

    Harry and Meghan’s new chief of staff who accompanied Prince on rare visit to London abruptly exits role after only three months

    Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s U.S. operation has reportedly suffered another setback as their new chief of staff, Josh Kettler, has resigned after just three months in the role. The sudden departure comes just days before the Sussexes are set to embark on a significant tour of Colombia, raising concerns about the stability of their team.

    According to the Daily Mail, Kettler, a seasoned public relations professional, has abruptly left his position. A source from California reportedly confirmed the news, stating, “Josh Kettler is no longer working for them.” Kettler’s exit is seen as a significant blow, particularly as he was recently seen accompanying Prince Harry on a rare visit to London for the tenth anniversary of the Invictus Games.

    Kettler’s departure adds to a growing list of high-profile resignations from the Sussexes’ team. Earlier this year, Bennett Levine, the manager of their television company Archewell Productions, also stepped down. This followed the exit of Oscar-nominated producer Ben Browning, who left his position as head of internal content at Archewell in January of the previous year.

    Kettler was reportedly hired to guide Prince Harry through the next phase of his and Meghan’s public and professional endeavors. His sudden resignation, however, leaves the couple in a difficult position just before their “quasi-royal” tour of South America. The reasons for Kettler’s departure remain unclear, but the timing has sparked speculation about potential challenges within the Sussexes’ U.S. operations.

    Kettler was previously seen entering St. Paul’s Cathedral with Prince Harry during the Invictus anniversary celebrations, an event that featured high-profile attendees such as Harry’s uncle, Earl Spencer. Notably, no other members of the British royal family were present at the ceremony.

    Whoa! Congratulations on the arrival of your new baby, the third baby is here! Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s family. Once more, God has done it…

    Prince Harry and Meghan Markle declared a few weeks before to the birth of their royal child that they would not be disclosing any details about the birthing process.

    The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are very grateful for the goodwill they have received from people throughout the United Kingdom and around the world as they prepare to welcome their baby,” reads the statement released by Buckingham Palace.

    “Their Royal Highnesses have taken a personal decision to keep the plans around the arrival of their baby private. The Duke and Duchess look forward to sharing the exciting news with everyone once they have had an opportunity to celebrate privately as a new family.”

    Notably, it was never announced where Meghan planned to give birth. This was a major change from the Duchess of Cambridge’s birth plans. For each of her three children, the media was notified weeks in advance that she would be giving birth at the Lindo Wing in London’s St Mary’s Hospital, where Princess Diana had also delivered. In contrast, Meghan was rumored to want a home birth, harkening back to a much older royal tradition (all four of the Queen’s children were born at home), though that was never officially confirmed.

    Today, with the publication of Archie’s birth certificate, it is confirmed that Meghan gave birth at Portland Hospital in London.

    Previously, several publications had reporting that Meghan’s son was born in a hospital. The Daily Mail’s Rebecca English first broke the news that Meghan had given birth in a hospital on May 6, reporting that the Duchess “was whisked off amid such secrecy that even senior royals weren’t told.”

    “It is not known whether Meghan, 37, was induced but sources say she remained there overnight before her baby was born at 5.26am on Monday morning, with an elated Prince Harry at her side,” English reported.

    By the time the royal family announced the arrival of the royal baby, Meghan and Harry were back at Frogmore Cottage, their new home in Windsor.

    “The Duchess’s mother, Doria Ragland, who is overjoyed by the arrival of her first grandchild, is with Their Royal Highnesses at Frogmore Cottage,” reads the announcement. Naturally, that wording caused some speculation regarding whether or not Meghan had given birth at home.

    The fact that the bulletin officially announcing the royal baby’s birth, which sat on an easel in front of Buckingham Palace, did not include the names of the doctors who attended to the birth, also prompted questions.

    And The Sun’s royal correspondent Emily Andrews seemed to suggest that palace aides were unclear in how they addressed the situation.

     

    “We were led to believe by palace aides that baby Sussex was born at Frogmore Cottage, but in fact he arrived at private London hospital the Portland,” she wrote on Twitter. “All other details still the same! Can’t wait to see a picture of him on Wednesday with his proud parents!”

    Loose Woman’s Janet Street-Porter makes worrying health confession over surgery fears

    Janet Street-Porter opened up about her health on Wednesday’s episode of Loose Women, leaving fans worrying for her as she addressed having a hip replacement in hospital

    Loose Women star Janet Street-Porter opened up about her health as she revealed that she has to have a hip replacement.

    During Wednesday’s episode of the ITV hit daytime show viewers and the live studio audience were joined by panellists Linda Robson, Janet Street-Porter, Judi Love and Coleen Nolan.

    During one segment, Coleen asked if people start to lose their mobility as they get older. Linda revealed that she suffers from a ‘dodgy knee’ and is in need of a knee replacement but has been putting it off.

    The incident happened while riding a scooter on her family holiday. She said: “I was in Spain with my nephews, nieces and family last year and my nephew said to me ‘do you want to go on a scooter’ and I said yeah.”

    She continued: “I was holding onto the handle bar and when I turned it took off and I ended up on my knees with my bottom in the air and my dress over my head and no one picked me up they were laughing at me. Eventually they picked me up and then I had to go to the hospital and now I need to have a knee replacement eventually.”

    Janet then took the opportunity to reveal that she also put off having knee surgery. She said: “You better have that knee replacement because I put off having one and I really could hardly walk even 100 yards.”

    Linda joked: “Well you are 111.” Everyone burst out laughing as Janet replied: “Linda, you’ll regret that later.” Janet then revealed that following a recent MRI scan she has been told that she needs to have a hip replacement.

    She continued: “Lots of people have had a hip replacement and they are telling me that it’s not as bad as the knee and I’ll be walking the same day.”

    The TV star revealed that she isn’t able to walk properly, she said: “Obviously I’ve got to have the hip replacement but in the meantime I am wobbling and I should be using a stick but I am guilty of that.”

    Co-star Judi Love added: “I’ve realised now in my 40s that I could twist an ankle and it takes longer to heal than when I was in my 30s so I’m much more conscious of things that I am doing and that could be what I am eating or getting exercise.”
