The broadcasting watchdog Ofcom has revealed that they received 66 reports in response to the presenter’s reaction to a picture of a “goth baby”

Loose Women has been hit with a fresh number of Ofcom complaints over comments panellist Katie Piper made on the show in recent weeks.

The broadcasting regulator previously confirmed the ITV panel show received viewer complaints in response to comments the 39-year-old made about a gothic interior to a nursery.

Yet Ofcom has now announced the show received an additional 52 reports from ITV viewers this week, taking the total number of complaints to 156.

During the segment on the lunchtime show, Kaye Adams, Katie Piper, Judi Love and Nadia Swahala discussed if parents should impose their lifestyle choices on their children.

The debate was sparked after one mother turned her entire home into the real life Addams Family following the release of Netflix’s show Wednesday, directly by Tim Burton.

Katie could be heard gasping before saying: “I don’t like that interior.”
After watching the clip, Katie could be heard gasping before saying: “I don’t like that interior.”

She continued: “It’s all black and dark. Babies don’t like that.

“I’m just going to put it out there it’s giving me satanic vibes, it’s giving me bad energy, it’s toxic, I don’t like it and also it’s a baby. The cots are a tomb. You can’t put your baby in a grave.”

This comes after the Loose Women panel and studio audience were left gobsmacked on Tuesday morning when Coleen Nolan revealed how she took revenge on a cheating ex-boyfriend.

Christine Lampard, Kéllé Bryan and Brenda Edwards joined Coleen on the panel as they discussed pettiness in the wake of a break-up.

As the panel reflected on their own behaviour following a break-up, Coleen said: “I always think, for me, even when sometimes you’re not happy and you’re crying inside and then they see you again, say hi.

“Their ego can’t stand you getting over them, so you’re feeding their ego more if you keep going on at them. I’ve always been one to appear happy.”

However, the former singer then admitted she had done one vengeful thing in the past, but added that she immediately regretted it the following day.

She said: “We talked and it was fine. But she kept saying this thing every time we met, which was ‘He’ll never do it to me’.

“In the end, I thought, what are you saying here? Like I deserved it? You’re saying you’re better than me almost.”

Coleen said she then decided to invited her ex-boyfriend around to her house for a ‘little chat’ and then told the studio: “I slept with him,” prompting open-mouthed looks from her fellow panellists and a raucous response from the live studio audience.

Elton John Declines Prince Harry’s Request to Attend TIFF Premiere: Enough with the Diana Card!

The Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) is currently caught in a whirlwind of drama and intrigue following a high-profile snub that has set the entertainment world abuzz. According to a series of sensational YouTube videos and swirling rumors, legendary musician Elton John has turned down Prince Harry’s request to join the panel discussion for his documentary, *Elton John: Never Too Late*. This unexpected rejection has left fans and observers feeling unsettled as the event unfolds under a cloud of controversy. 

The documentary, which premiered at TIFF, offers an in-depth look at the life and career of the iconic singer-songwriter. Fans had eagerly anticipated a panel discussion where Elton John himself would share intimate insights and personal anecdotes about the film. However, in a turn of events that shocked many, Prince Harry, who has long been considered a close friend of Elton John, will not be appearing on the panel.

Sources close to the situation reveal that Prince Harry had expressed a strong desire to participate in the panel discussion, given his vocal admiration for Elton John and his supportive stance towards the musician. Harry hoped to contribute his own perspectives on the documentary. However, Elton John, known for his unwavering dedication to his craft and meticulous control over his public image, reportedly rejected Harry’s request with firm resolve.

The decision to exclude Prince Harry appears to be rooted in Elton John’s desire to keep the event focused exclusively on the documentary and his personal experiences. Sources suggest that Elton, who has been candid about his struggles with addiction and mental health, was concerned that Harry’s presence might overshadow the film’s core messages and themes. Elton’s priority seemed to be ensuring that the discussion remained centered on the documentary’s content, rather than being diverted by royal distractions.

The relationship between Elton John and the royal family has always been complex. While Elton famously performed at Princess Diana’s funeral and maintained a close friendship with Harry, he seems to have chosen to distance himself from any potential controversies or distractions that could arise from Harry’s involvement. Elton’s decision to exclude Harry from the panel discussion appears to be a strategic move aimed at preserving the integrity of the event.

Elton John’s surprise at Harry and Meghan’s decision to step back from royal duties in January 2020 adds another layer to this unfolding drama. A source revealed that Elton was a supportive figure during that tumultuous period, acting as a confidant and source of comfort for the couple. However, despite his close relationship with them, Elton was reportedly taken aback by the decision, learning about it only when it was publicly announced on their Instagram.

Further complicating the situation, the couple’s once close relationship with Elton John reportedly faced strain after they allegedly chose to skip the AIDS Foundation’s 31st Annual Academy Awards viewing party, which Elton hosted. Royal author Tom Bower even claimed that Harry and Meghan were not invited to the party, contrary to suggestions that they had chosen not to attend. Bower criticized the couple, describing them as “Hollywood nobodies” and warning that their actions could undermine the monarchy’s standing.

Kevin Costner Claims to Help Prince Harry with Meghan Markle Divorce: Procedures Completed

 

The Venice Film Festival has once again become the backdrop for Hollywood drama, this time involving Brad Pitt, Meghan Markle, and an alleged snub. Every September, the enchanting canals of Venice transform into a glittering setting for one of the world’s most prestigious film festivals. It’s a time when filmmakers, actors, and fans converge to celebrate cinematic brilliance, while paparazzi eagerly capture every glamorous moment. 

This year, however, the spotlight wasn’t just on films or fashion but on a rumored double date that never happened, adding a soap-opera twist to the festival’s allure. Imagine Brad Pitt, the quintessential Hollywood heartthrob, accompanied by his stunning girlfriend, Ines de Ramon, mingling with George and Amal Clooney. The thought of this glamorous quartet cruising through Venice’s romantic canals and dining in opulent settings seemed like tabloid gold.

But then Meghan Markle entered the scene, adding a dramatic twist. Since leaving her royal life behind, Meghan Markle has been a magnet for media speculation. Her transition from Duchess to Hollywood aspirant has been rocky, with her seeking high-profile events to enhance her public profile. This year, Meghan reportedly had her sights set on the Venice Film Festival, hoping to join the rumored double date with Pitt and the Clooneys for some prime photo ops.

However, did the stars align for Meghan, or was she left out in the cold? According to recent YouTube videos and gossip channels, Brad Pitt wasn’t thrilled about the idea of Meghan crashing his romantic evening. Sources close to Pitt suggest that he found the prospect of turning his private evening into a headline-grabbing spectacle rather unappealing. In an unexpected twist, it’s alleged that Pitt actively worked to sideline Meghan’s plans, either through subtle maneuvering or direct communication with the Clooneys.

Imagine Brad, with his charming grin hiding a strategic intent to keep the Venice experience intimate. As the rumored double date approached, George and Amal Clooney found themselves in the middle of this swirling storm of celebrity drama. Known for their philanthropic efforts and polished public image, the Clooneys are no strangers to the spotlight. Yet, with the festival turning into a media frenzy, they might have preferred a quieter, private evening away from the spotlight.

News of Meghan Markle’s absence from the double date spread like wildfire across social media. Fans and critics flocked to Twitter, their reactions ranging from disappointment to glee. Memes and commentary erupted, depicting Meghan’s exclusion as the latest chapter in an ongoing saga of celebrity mishaps. “Did you hear? Meghan Uninvited!” one tweet exclaimed, quickly gaining traction and sparking a flurry of humorous scenarios about what might have happened had Meghan been present.

It’s important to remember that this tale of Brad Pitt allegedly thwarting Meghan Markle’s attempts to join his Venice Film Festival night is rooted in rumors and speculation, much of which has circulated through social media and YouTube channels. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt and the Clooneys continue to embody Hollywood cool, seemingly unfazed by the swirling drama around them. Their ability to maintain charm and poise amid the chaos is a testament to their enduring star power.

Jayne Torvill admits she was personally surprised to see Ekin-Su in her controversial Dancing On Ice bikini-inspired outfit, which sparked a string of Ofcom complaints

Jayne Torvill admits she was “surprised” by Ekin-Su’s Dancing On Ice outfit, which sparked over a 100 Ofcom complaints.

The Love Island star skated for the first time two weekends ago, where her bikini-inspired outfit as she performed to Britney Spears’ track Toxic sparked a string of complaints to the TV regulator. Ekin-Su admitted she was “really upset” by the backlash to her performance and her outfit, and had questioned what she had done wrong.

Now Dancing On Ice judge Jayne has admitted she was surprised by the outfit choice, but praised Ekin-Su for putting all into her performance and said she was the right person to go through following the skate-off.

Speaking on ITV’s Loose Women today, Jayne and Chris discussed her outfit, before she said: “I was a little bit surprised, I have to say, but it was in keeping with the song and the Love Island connection so I see how that was.

“But she’s a really lovely girl and she’s taken it all on board. And in her skate off, she definitely deserved to go through.”

Ekin-Su had previously admitted she was “really upset” over the backlash to her performance.

She said: “I’m not gonna lie, I was really upset over the past two days. I questioned myself and what I had done wrong.

“[I said to myself] you know what, stop this crying Ekin. You are a strong woman, take on the notes from the judges, work hard and I really wanted to prove myself. We’ve been working really hard and I am here today.”

Following on from the controversy, Dancing On Ice judge Oti Mabuse defended Ekin-Su’s outfit, adding: “If I had that body, I would wear less all the time. It is so exciting to be part of a show that gets complaints.

Kimberly Wyatt – who appeared on the show last year and made it all the way to the final – admitted it can be hard for women on the skating show, adding to The Mirror in defence of Ekin-Su: “It’s very difficult for a woman on that show, especially if you go any place that’s sexy. The viewers just don’t quite like it. They don’t connect with it. I’m so glad she did – you could tell she felt good in her skin.”

Meghan Markle Allegedly Cuts Ties with Royals After Archie Controversy Exposed

 

In a revealing interview from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s Netflix documentary, *Harry & Meghan*, Doria Ragland, Meghan Markle’s mother, discussed the behind-the-scenes tensions within the British royal family regarding the upbringing of her grandson, Prince Archie. Ragland, a 67-year-old yoga instructor, hinted at a power struggle within the royal institution over who had the right to decide how Archie should be raised. She suggested that the institution viewed Archie as its own while Meghan fought to assert her parental rights. 

“It’s almost like it’s not your child; it’s the institution’s child,” Ragland remarked in the documentary, defending her daughter’s determination to raise Archie on her own terms. Meghan’s insistence on making decisions for her child reflects the broader rift between the Sussexes and the British royal family—a division that has only widened over recent years. Ragland’s comments offer a rare glimpse into the pressures Meghan and Harry faced as new parents trying to navigate royal expectations while maintaining their autonomy.

Ragland also opened up about the personal toll the last five years have taken on the Sussexes. “The last five years have been challenging,” she admitted, referring to the intense scrutiny Meghan and Harry have faced from both the media and the royal institution. She recalled the moment Meghan first shared that she was dating Prince Harry, noting the initial secrecy surrounding the relationship.

“We were on the phone, and she says, ‘Mommy, I’m going out with Prince Harry,’” Ragland recounted, describing her shock and adding, “I start whispering, ‘Oh my God.’ From the start, the relationship was treated as something that had to be carefully guarded from public view. It was very sort of, ‘Oh my God, nobody can know.’”

Despite the initial secrecy, Ragland expressed positive impressions of Harry when she first met him. “I noticed that Prince Harry was handsome and really nice, with really great manners,” she said. “And they looked really happy together.” Ragland has been a strong pillar of support for Meghan and Harry throughout their tumultuous journey.

In January 2023, it was revealed by Express.co.uk that Ragland had moved into the Sussexes’ guest house on their Montecito estate to be closer to the family during difficult times. This move was partly motivated by the practical challenges of traveling from Ragland’s home in View Park Windsor Hills, Los Angeles, to Montecito—a nearly 3-hour car journey. Insiders suggest that her presence provided much-needed emotional support to Meghan and Harry as they navigated ongoing tensions with the royal family.

A source close to the Sussexes said, “Harry appreciates the warmth and kindness that Doria brings to the family. He doesn’t get that from his side of the family and thinks it’s important that the children are close with their grandmother.” This close relationship between Ragland and Harry has reportedly been a source of comfort for the Duke of Sussex, particularly as his relationships with his father, King Charles, and his brother, Prince William, have become increasingly strained.

As the division between the Sussexes and the royal family deepens, many royal watchers have expressed doubts that Harry will be able to reconcile with his family in the near future. The tension, which has been widely publicized, was exacerbated by the couple’s decision to step back from royal duties in 2020 and the subsequent airing of grievances in interviews, notably their explosive 2021 conversation with Oprah Winfrey.

In *Harry & Meghan*, both Meghan and Harry speak candidly about the challenges they faced as senior royals, including struggles with the British tabloid press and what they saw as a lack of support from the royal family. The couple now lives in California, raising their two children, Archie and Lilibet, away from the constraints of royal life. For Harry, the warmth of his mother-in-law, Doria Ragland, has been a welcome counterbalance to his fraught relationship with his own family.

As Ragland remains a steady presence in the Sussex household, it is clear that Meghan and Harry are focused on building their own path forward, prioritizing their children and their chosen family over traditional royal expectations. With the ongoing rift showing no signs of resolution, it remains to be seen whether the Sussexes and the royal family will ever reconcile.

Prince Harry Let Slip Meghan Didn’t Give Birth: More Evidence for Archie’s Birth

Samantha Markle claimed that Megan miscarried during her first pregnancy and then opted to secretly use a surrogate to carry baby Archie. She also claimed that the surrogate was reluctant to hand the child over, forcing Megan to carry a doll during public engagements to keep up appearances.
 

I believe the surrogate has not yet handed over the baby. Some others allegedly tweeted in June of last year, “I think it should be mandatory that proof of delivery from my sister’s womb be provided if any of the children are to have a title.”

Archie should not have a title because I believe a surrogate was involved. She continued adding, “I believe she picked up her eggs in Los Angeles.”

Some also claim that this matter is super important as it should prevent Megan and Harry’s children from receiving royal titles, even though the parents have already made it clear that they don’t want the kids to have titles.

There’s no DNA proof that he’s Harry’s son, and furthermore, there’s no proof that Archie or Lily were delivered from the womb, which is a requirement for titles under British law.

Samantha said Harry’s memoir also raised massive questions regarding Archie’s birth. Harry had no idea how delivery works, as a mother cannot eat before the child’s arrival due to the risk of suffocation.

Additionally, no professional nurse or midwife would allow a laboring woman to get into a pool of water after she’s been given laughing gas. You also don’t need to be a medical practitioner to know that. Also, has Harry ever been to a hospital for an operation?

You cannot eat before you go in due to suffocation, the same is said for a woman giving birth. Just ask any nurse, doctor, or midwife.

Writing in the memoir, Harry revealed that he ate Nando’s Chicken and admitted to hugging his wife’s laughing gas while they listened to songs in Sanskrit following recommendations from an Ayurvedic doctor Megan had consulted earlier. Harry added that he didn’t text anyone to announce the birth, and he and Megan were back at Frogmore Cottage with Archie within two hours of his birth.

He said his wife was 10 days past the due date when she was medically induced at the Portland Hospital in May 2019. He recalled how the couple left Frogmore Cottage without catching the attention of the media stationed outside the property by using a nondescript car. Once they arrived at the hospital, they were shown to a private room via a secret lift.

Harry described how their bodyguards brought Nando’s takeaway to the hospital for Megan. He also recalled using laughing gas to calm his nerves and revealed that there was none left for Megan because he used so much of it, so the team had to bring another bottle in for her. Megan laughed and rolled her eyes at him as she bounced on a large purple ball to induce labor.

The couple decorated Megan’s hospital room with the same electric candles Harry used for his proposal in 2017, and Megan suggested they put a framed picture of Princess Diana on the bedside table. They also listened to songs by German artist Deva Premal, who turned Sanskrit mantras into music during the delivery.

When the contractions quickened, Megan hopped in a bathtub to deliver the baby and had an epidural to help with the pain of labor. Harry said he held Megan’s hand as she pushed to deliver Archie and revealed that she had a complicated birth, describing his son’s head as being tangled. He encouraged Megan to keep pushing, and when Archie was born, both of them cried.

The baby was wrapped in a towel and given to Megan. If Megan had an epidural, how was she able to give birth in a bath? More importantly, how was she able to go home two hours later? Generally speaking, you cannot use your legs for several hours post-epidural.

A royal expert claims there is a reason why Prince Andrew is wanted out of Royal Lodge and moved into a smaller property.

Prince Andrew’s expensive lifestyle and dislike by the British public is a major factor in the plans to have him move out of Royal Lodge into smaller accommodation, a royal expert has claimed.

The Duke of York has been in dispute with his brother, King Charles, over his living situation as he has been refusing to leave the 30-bedroom property in Windsor, thought to be worth £30million.

Andrew’s struggle with the upkeep of the mansion, where he lives with his former wife, Sarah Ferguson, has caused quite a headache for the monarch, who wants him to move to a much smaller home.

The royal was granted a 75-year lease agreement back in 2003 by the Crown Estate, which states that he is required to “repair, renew, uphold, clean and keep in repair and, where necessary, rebuild” the mansion.

But after stepping down as a senior working royal in 2019 due to his ties with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, something Andrew vehemently denies, the Duke has no means of an income, apart from his naval pension and a “generous” allowance funded privately by the King.

It’s been previously reported that Charles planned to have Andrew move out from the property and move into the much smaller Frogmore Cottage – the former home of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

However, Andrew rejected the offer and refused to leave his Windsor home, as he is determined to stay put.

Now royal expert Hugo Vickers claimed that Andrew is no longer wanted for any public duties and the best solution to the dispute would be if he volunteers to move out of the Grade II-listed property himself.

He told The Sun: “I think we must all accept that he is not wanted for any public duties. If you were running a charity you wouldn’t be asking Prince Andrew to come and be your guest of honour. So nobody wants him in a public way.

“So there he is living at Royal Lodge, playing golf, seeing his children and grandchildren and riding in the park and it is expensive.

 

The Duke of Sussex has organised a birthday getaway to the Californian mountains near his home with a few of his closest mates.

Prince Harry is gearing up for a hike on his 40th birthday (Image: Getty)

Prince Harry will mark his 40th birthday this Sunday with a private celebration in Montecito, surrounded by family and friends. However, he is also planning a rather unsual afterparty for himself and his pals.

Express.co.uk has learned that the Duke of Sussex has organised a getaway to the Californian mountains near his home with a few of his closest mates.

Prince Harry, 39, is set to tackle the Montecito peak which is part of the Cold Spring Trail in California, just a few miles from the mansion he shares with wife Meghan and their two children, Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lilibet, 3.

“The Cold Spring Trail has lots of streams and pools which people regularly take a dip in,” said the source. “But there are also lots of snakes and other wildlife to contend with, like large cats.

“Harry and his friends will truly experience the outdoors as they take on one of the long hikes. Let’s hope he’s taking an experienced guide with him.”

As he turns 40 on Sunday, sources close to the Duke reveal that he is looking ahead with excitement, eager to pursue the work he’s most passionate about – from continuing the success of the Invictus Games to promoting The Archewell Foundation around the world.

Prince Harry also announced an exciting new non-fiction series with Netflix this year as part of the Sussexes’ multi-year partnership.

Filmed primarily at the US Open Polo Championship in Wellington, Florida, at The USPA National Polo Centre and produced in collaboration with Boardwalk Pictures, the series will offer viewers exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the elite world of professional polo.

The Duke’s new projects come amid reports that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are said to be planning a third foreign tour before the end of the year.

The destination is likely to be somewhere in Africa, with Botswana and Lesotho in consideration, where Prince Harry’s charity Sentebale operates.

As whispers swirl around the circumstances of how Meghan Markle conceived their children, the public is left wondering what lies beneath the surface.

URGENT! Meghan DESPERATELY Trying to DELETE CBS Interview Amid Lawsuit

The feud between Meghan Markle and her half-sister Samantha is back in the spotlight, and this time, it’s heating up in the courtroom. Samantha is throwing down some serious allegations, claiming defamation that’s left her struggling to navigate life—from job hunting to grocery shopping. Could this battle redefine their already tumultuous relationship?

As the saga unfolds, one can’t help but wonder about the original spark ignited during that infamous Oprah interview and the Netflix docuseries that followed. Remember when Meghan shared her story and seemingly shifted the narrative? Now, with new legal maneuvers on Samantha’s part, it seems the drama is far from over. What implications do these latest developments have for their strained family ties and public perceptions?

Dive deeper into the tangled web of legal battles and personal claims—what does Samantha really hope to achieve, and how does this all connect to Meghan’s public narrative? The details may surprise you.

Meghan Markle Faces Off Against Half-Sister in Ongoing Legal Drama

 

The legal saga involving Meghan Markle has taken another twist.

This time, it’s her half-sister, Samantha Markle, who’s stepping into the courtroom with a fresh lawsuit.

Samantha is making some serious claims, alleging that Meghan has defamed her so severely that finding work has become nearly impossible, and even grocery shopping feels like a daunting task.

It’s like a never-ending soap opera that just keeps rolling.

Samantha is not holding back, accusing Meghan of portraying her as a deceitful, racist fame-seeker.

According to court documents obtained by The Sun, Samantha insists that Meghan’s sensational stories have wreaked havoc on her reputation worldwide.

But where did all this drama begin?

It traces back to that explosive Oprah interview in 2021 and the Netflix series “Harry and Meghan,” which dropped in December 2022.

Those were the moments when Meghan opened up about her life, and boy, did she spill some tea!

Adding to the drama, back in March, a Florida judge named Charlene Edwards Honeywell dismissed Samantha’s previous case.

The judge ruled that Samantha failed to identify any specific defamatory statements made by Meghan.

That had to sting.

The court didn’t just toss it out; they did so with prejudice, meaning Samantha couldn’t simply try again.

But, undeterred, Samantha’s legal team is back at it, attempting to overturn that decision.

They argue that the judge overlooked implied defamation based on omitted facts.

It’s starting to feel like they’re clutching at straws.

The March ruling was a significant win for Meghan, as it meant she avoided a trial that was slated for November.

Samantha is seeking at least $75,000 in damages for both defamation and defamation by implication.

A pivotal moment in this ongoing saga occurred during Meghan’s Oprah interview when she claimed she grew up as an only child and suggested that Samantha only started using the Markle name after Meghan began dating Prince Harry.

Judge Honeywell determined that Meghan’s comments about her childhood were opinions rather than factual assertions.

As for the name change, the judge found it substantially accurate based on the evidence presented.

Talk about a major blow for Samantha!

Another interesting tidbit emerged from Prince Harry’s comments in the Netflix series, where he criticized British journalists for spreading hate and lies.

However, Judge Honeywell deemed this statement irrelevant to Samantha’s claims, suggesting it might have been a legal misstep or just an attempt to inject unnecessary drama into the case.

Despite these setbacks, Samantha isn’t backing down.

Just two days after Meghan’s 43rd birthday, she filed a new appeal, which seems like her last-ditch effort to keep this legal battle alive.

Coincidence?

We think not.

Samantha’s lawyers are now pushing for an oral hearing to discuss these so-called complex issues, although nothing has been scheduled just yet.

Meanwhile, while Samantha fights her legal battles, Meghan has been busy sharing her emotional journey on CBS News Sunday morning.

She opened up about her struggles with suicidal thoughts and the online abuse she faced during her time as a working royal.
