I’m A Celebrity star Nella Rose has been furiously defended by Loose Women star Janet Street Porter as she slammed ‘patronising’ Fred Sirieix after their jungle spat

Janet Street Porter has defended Nella Rose over her row with Fred Sirieix on I’m A Celebrity.

The Loose Women star has furiously defended the YouTuber over the comments she made to the First Dates star. During a conversation on yesterday’s show, Nella took issue with a comment he made to her.

Explaining what happened, Nella revealed: “Last night after dinner Fred made a comment about him basically how he could be my dad. I took offence to that because one of the first conversations we had together was me opening up about the fact that my dad’s passed away,” before the row was shown to viewers of the programme.

During the furious row, Nella fumed: “u know that my mum’s dead, and you know that my dad’s dead. You know that, right? I’ve come to find out that every time I wanna get creative around the fire, or I want to have something my way, my own food that I am entitled to, my way, you tend to get an attitude, right?

“So yesterday, when I wanted to burn fat that you were going to throw away anyways, it’s not even something that we needed to survive in camp, you turned around to me, with an attitude and said, ‘You know I could be your dad, right?’ To me, I don’t care how you said it to me, it’s disrespectful and I don’t want to talk to you. I don’t want to be around you. I only allow people to disrespect me once. You hurt my feelings. I was very upset… you keep trying to speak to me when I don’t want to speak to you. I would rather stay away from you, I don’t want to eat your food, I don’t want to talk to you. We can just live, you live on that side, I live on this side.”

Fred then replied: “I am so sorry. Can I just say? First of all, I am sorry I’ve offended you. I am unaware that you felt offended. I am unaware that what I said would lead to this conversation, I only said that in a way because I am older than you, I am 51 and you’re 26.”

“I’m not stupid, you’re not going to little girl me, you’re not,” Nella fumed back.

Speaking on the show today to defend Nella, Janet said: “But he was a weirdo to her. In her defence, I found Fred incredibly patronising. He’s not serving food in a restaurant now, he’s not dealing with difficult customers.

“I can see that what he said to her could offend her, and also looking at her back story, her parents came from the Congo and went to Belgium. Her parents both died within a few months of each other.”

Jane then chimed in: “But that’s not Fred’s fault,” whilst Janet went on to add: “It’s not Fred’s fault and he will not be aware of it – but that would inform how she reacts to him. And also, I would hate to see – as a result of this – she gets voted out of the camp.

“To me, to make the show work, we need people like her. I’m not saying that in a patronising way. I think she has a voice that other people don’t have, but I think Fred is more of the same frankly.”

Kate Garraway today revealed her husband Derek Draper is back in hospital as the 56-year-old continues to struggle with the impacts of debilitating Long Covid

Kate Garraway has announced her beloved husband Derek Draper has suffered a health set-back as she shared her concerns following he re-admission to hospital.

Admitting recently that he’s “not doing great” after battling a nasty infection, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate today provided a worrying update to the Loose Women panel. The former political adviser, 56, contracted Covid-19 back in 2020 and suffered serious complications.

He spent months needing 24 hour-a-day care after even after returning home, he still requires a full-time nurse. He now uses a wheelchair and has little strength in his arms, with his cognition and speech also affected. But now he’s back in hospital and emotional Kate says his battle with Long Covid shows no signs of ending yet.

She explained: “He’s actually back in the hospital at the moment, I haven’t talked about this, but not the horrific drama fortunately, because there have been lots of, as we all experience, referrals and cancellations.” He’s gone back in for something that he began last year which he needed the second part of which will hopefully mean he has more movement, physical fractures.

“So it’s a positive hospital thing. So he’s actually not at home at the moment. So when the visiting game, but hopefully won’t be in for too long.” She the panel to discuss Carer’s Rights Day as she gave an update on Derek’s health. He was discharged on a trial basis in April 2021 but has been readmitted to the wards multiple times with numerous health issues, including kidney failure, brain inflammation and liver damage.

After speaking about her new book, focusing on her care for her husband, she explained: “It’s not that you want to be a ‘poor me’ about it because on the one hand I feel incredibly fortunate because so many hundreds of 1000s of people, everyday people lose people.

She demanded a meeting with the Health Secretary to discuss problems within the health system

“I talk in the book about grief and it took me a long time to admit that as a family we were grieving because I felt guilty because actual bereavement, so many are going through, that you feel that this is a lesser degree, but really, it is a kind of grief because you go through mini deaths when someone’s very ill.”

In September, the mum tore into the Health Secretary and demanded a meeting to discuss problems within the health system. She said: “I don’t want to ambush you on air, but I have been trying to contact you and I have been trying to contact [social care minister] Helen Whately as well and I haven’t been able to.

“I have been able to contact your equivalents on the shadow side and I have met with them and talked to them. I’d like to come and talk to you – not about Derek, by the way, this is not trying to get something for him. “This is about representing millions of people across the country who, like me every day, in one hand feel like they are holding the life of their loved one and in the other hand – I don’t want to cry – are just punching and punching away at a system.”

She added: “It isn’t about money. I’ve got five points, if you or Helen would return some of my attempts to make contact with you, to talk to you about it, because it’s not just about social care but health care and the way it’s interrelating. It would be wonderful if you could.”

Royal Family LIVE: Prince Harry and Meghan’s brutal ‘zero chance’ warning over next move

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have “no foreseeable way” in which they’ll be welcomed back into the royal fold, an expert claims.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were warned over their emerging business strategy by a royal commentator who claimed there is “zero chance” the couple will ever reconcile with the Royal Family.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been making a life of themselves in the US since stepping down as working members of the Firm in 2020, however, their ventures have been mostly linked to their royal ties in one way or another.

Now US journalist and author Christopher Andersen claimed the Sussex pair have “have drifted so far out to sea” that there is “no foreseeable way” in which they’ll be welcomed back into the royal fold.

He told Fox News: “Even if Harry was to throw himself at the king’s feet and beg for forgiveness – which Harry is not about to do – the best he could hope for would be crumbs from the royal table, and the sort of grudging acceptance that is currently being afforded to Harry’s disgraced uncle, Prince Andrew.”

Mr Andersen added: “If Harry and Meghan are determined to monetise their titles, then they’ll just be digging that hole deeper and deeper. But if they simply use their California-centric celebrity to build their brand and steer clear of overtly capitalising on the Sussex name and Windsor connection – well, everybody has a right to make a living.

“Even then, there would still be acrimony – and zero chance of Harry getting back into the king’s and William’s good graces.”

Prince Harry goes viral with scathing two-word remark about Queen Camilla

Amid the release of his memoir Spare, Prince Harry made a scathing remark about his stepmother, Queen Camilla.

Prince Harry’s previous scathing remark about Queen Camilla have gone viral on popular social media platform, TikTok.

During an interview before the release of his bombshell memoir last year, Harry referred to his stepmother with a scathing two-word remark: “The villain”.

Speaking in a 60 Minutes Interview with Anderson Cooper, Harry said: “She was the villain.”

Referring to his father’s relationship with Camilla whilst he was still with his late mother, he added: “[Camilla] was the third person in the marriage. She need to rehabilitate her image…”

In the clip posted by @queendianaspncer on TikTok, Harry was asked whether both he and Prince William had directly asked their father not to marry Camilla, to which he replied, “Yes”.

When asked “why” they had done that, Harry shared: “We didn’t think it was necessary. We thought it was going to cause more harm than good.”

The video then shows similar pictures of Diana and Camilla, such as each of them sitting on a bench next to the now-King Charles.

Coming to Harry’s defence, many fans pointed out how “proud” the late Princess Diana would be of her youngest son.

One fan commented: “Diana is so very proud of Harry! [red-heart emoji].”

Another commented: “I wish Diana would have known how Harry would fight for her and carry on her legacy. She taught him well.”

As reported by US Weekly, a source previously said: “Camilla dislikes Harry and doesn’t want Charles to get stressed while he’s undergoing treatment, so she tries to limit interaction.”

Despite this, they added that Charles, meanwhile, “is holding out hope of salvaging their relationship but is hugely conflicted because Harry has hurt William and Camilla so much.”

Despite this, the insider pointed out that Harry has also “been hurt”.

Speaking of the claims that Harry and William had asked Charles not to marry Camilla, royal expert and The King: The Life of Charles III author Christopher Andersen previously told US Weekly that the brothers’ had “always resented Camilla”.

He added: “They pleaded with their father not to marry her and only grudgingly agreed to go along with the charade if Charles kept his promise not to make her Queen.

“That title would have gone to Dianaif Camilla hadn’t broken up theirparents’ marriage. When Charles broke that promise, William and Harry felt betrayed.”

King Charles considering ‘state visit’ to America to see Archie and Lilibet

King Charles has only met his youngest grandchild Lilibet once and has seen Archie a handful of times – and is said to be ‘desperate’ to see them in person

King Charles is reportedly yearning for more time with his American-based grandchildren, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, as per a Royal commentator’s insights.

Despite his affectionate bond with Prince William’s offspring, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, the sovereign has had limited encounters with Prince Harry’s little ones. His Majesty has only been in the presence of Lili once and Archie a mere few times.

The King is believed to be disheartened by the geographical gap, maintaining contact through sporadic video calls from Harry and Meghan’s Montecito home, desiring a deeper connection with the young royals. Queen Camilla, on her part, seems to be backing moves to strengthen family ties, evidenced by Charles’s recent “heartfelt gift and card” to Lilibet for her third birthday.

Meanwhile, Prince Harry appears hesitant to bring his children across the pond due to ongoing legal disputes with the Home Office over security arrangements. He has expressed concerns in court about his children’s safety in the UK, stating they cannot truly “feel at home” without adequate protection.

Royal commentator Tom Quinn has exclusively revealed to The Mirror that King Charles is considering a trip across the pond. Quinn disclosed: “Charles has had discussions about an official visit to the United States at some time in the future, and there is no doubt if it goes ahead he would build in time to visit his youngest son and his grandchildren, but there are mountains of planning to be overcome before that becomes even a remote possibility,” reports the Mirror.

Brooklyn Beckham wants to become a dad credit:Bang Showbiz

Brooklyn Beckham has “always wanted to be a young dad”.

The 25-year-old star dreams of having children in the coming years, and he’s particularly keen to go travelling with them one day.

Brooklyn – who is married to actress Nicola Peltz – told PEOPLE: “I’ve always wanted to be a young dad, and I always want to be able to take my kids wherever I go. So it’s definitely something I want to pass down to my kids.”

Brooklyn – who is the son of David and Victoria Beckham – and Nicola tied the knot in Palm Beach, Florida, in April 2022.

Nicola, 29, previously admitted that time has flown since she walked down the aisle.

The actress – who played Bradley Martin in the hit drama series ‘Bates Motel’ – shared: “Everyone is always like, ‘Oh, what does being married feel like?’ This is genuinely how I feel.

“I feel like when you’re on a sleepover or a play date, and it’s like, ‘Oh, can they sleep over again?’ And you just are on a never-ending sleepover play date. That’s how we feel.”

Brooklyn previously revealed that he’s eager to become a dad.

However, the former soccer player – who has also dated the likes of Chloe Grace Moretz and Madison Beer – acknowledged that Nicola might wish to wait a little longer to have children.

Speaking to PEOPLE in 2022, Brooklyn explained: “I could have had kids yesterday.

“Obviously it’s my wife’s body, but I’ve always wanted to have a bunch of kids around. That’s something I really want to do. And my dad was young when he had me. He was 23.”

Tom Bower’s new book – “House of Beckham: Money, Sex and Power” – is brimming with scandal. But will the unauthorised biography really pierce the “golden armour and dismantle the Beckham machine”, asked Katie Rosseinsky in The Independent. Given their “staggeringly slick” PR machine, it is a big ask.

The book comes off the back of a recent Netflix documentary, “Beckham”, that offered a “stage-managed insight” into David and Victoria’s relationship that was filled with “endearing off-duty snippets”, said Rosseinsky. These included the iconic clip of Victoria describing her “working-class” background before David pops his head round the door to reveal she used to be driven to school in a Rolls-Royce.

Following his series of “bombshell” books about the royals – the latest is titled “Meghan, Harry and the War Between the Windsors” – Bower has shifted his gaze to “Britain’s other royal family”. But while it “strains to be explosive”, it ends up falling short, “like delving into a Wikipedia recap that re-treads old territory”.

Tabloid fodder

Perhaps the biggest issue with Bower’s book, said Zoe Williams in The Guardian, is that many of his most juicy “revelations” are already tabloid fodder. “ChatGPT could have done the whole thing faster, with the prompts: David Beckham – erection – sun lounger.”

“Nothing here feels new,” said Hannah Betts in The Telegraph. Stories from the papers are “regurgitated”: David is “stingy” and “squeaky-voiced”; Victoria is a “tuneless, furious-faced WAG” whose clothing brand is a “much-puffed vanity project”.

There are, however, “moments of magic” peppered sporadically throughout. Bower claims Victoria behaves so “capriciously” during her 2007 NBC documentary “Coming to America” that her exasperated team are said to have “chorused”: “So tell me what you want, what you really, really want.”

A ‘devil’s bargain’

Bower portrays their relationship as a “devil’s bargain”, said Betts, rather than the “happy-families image” that their PR machine trades off – yet “the narrative is oddly flat”.

His “overarching argument”, said Rosseinsky in The Independent, is that the marriage has, at times, been “little more than a mutually beneficial business arrangement” – something that “hardly feels like a novel thesis”.

And yet, said Hilary Rose in The Times, Bower can’t deny that, after more than two decades together, the Beckhams are “still standing”. They might not have lived “happily ever after” but on 4 July, just like they do every year, the couple will post “loving tributes” to each other as they celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.

Despite the alleged affairs and the all-night arguing, said Williams in The Guardian, “they must, on some level, really like each other”.

Victoria Beckham has been hailed as a ‘comedic genius’ after poking fun at her ‘working class’ background in a new Super Bowl commercial.

Last year the former Spice Girl, 49, starred in the Netflix documentary series Beckham alongside her husband David.

In one stand-out moment, Victoria, who was known as Posh Spice during her time in the girl group, got a telling-off by her husband after he overheard her speaking to cameras about her family’s apparently humble beginnings.

Speaking to the interviewer, Victoria said: ‘We’re very, very working class.’

Opening a door and poking his head into the room, David urged his wife to ‘be honest’ before forcing her to share her dad owned a Rolls Royce, which can cost upwards of £252,000.

The couple have now recreated the exchange for an Uber Eats ad, which will air in full during the Super Bowl on February 11.

In the teaser,Victoria is wearing a T-shirt that declares: ‘My dad had a Rolls-Royce.’

In the 35-second clip, they have a similar interaction to the one in the documentary with Victoria telling the camera: ‘David and I are going to be in a little commercial.’

David then appears from behind a wall to tell his wife to ‘be honest’.

She continues: ‘Okay, it’s a big commercial’, before her husband tells her to reveal more.

Victoria then reveals that the commercial will air during the ‘big baseball game’, actually referring to the Super Bowl, which is the National Football League’s annual championship game in America.

They then jokingly mistake the game again, saying it’s the ‘hockey bowl’ they’ll feature in.

David then urges her to share details ‘about Jessica Aniston’, seemingly in reference to Friends star Jennifer Aniston, to which his wife says: ‘Jessica Aniston is going to be in it too.’

The video ends with the words: ‘Whatever you forget this Sunday, remember Uber Eats.’

Fans thought the ad was hilarious, with Nicole Michalik commenting on Instagram: ‘Whoever came up with this deserves a raise.’

‘Victoria Beckham = comedic genius,’ user Spice Girls Net shared.

Another user, mcgowancherish, added: ‘You two are a national treasure and must be protected at all costs. Oh, and Jessica Aniston, too.’

Others labelled the pair ‘iconic’ and ‘so much fun’.

The ad comes two months after Victoria decided to first capitalise on the public’s love for their hilarious chat.

In November the fashion designer posted a photo of herself wearing a white shirt to her social media accounts and wrote ‘available now’ with a link to her website.

Sharing a video as well, Victoria said she had to embrace her background and had released a product to mark the occasion.

‘I can’t fight it anymore, yes my dad drove me to school in a Rolls Royce! Kisses David Beckham xx Shop the exclusive Slogan T-Shirt now!’ she wrote, whilst also sharing a clip of their exchange from the series.

Get paid to live on this idyllic European island – but there’s a catch

Retailing for £110, the plain white tee ranges in sizes from XS to XL.

It’s no secret that David Beckham is rolling in cash thanks to his status as a footballing legend and heartthrob but his company is also dishing out hefty payslips.

While he may have admitted he was ‘jealous’ of wife Victoria recently, we’re jealous of whichever employee landed the eyewatering sum of £10,000,000.

DB Ventures, one of Becks’ many businesses, forked out the cool multimillion-pound paycheck to an undisclosed mystery person in 2022.

‘Golden Balls’ himself is worth $450 million (£370 million) combined with his Spice Girl wife but it’s unknown if he was the recipient of this huge payout.

The accounts, as seen by The Mirror, reveal that it was the highest-paid director of DB Ventures who took home the pay – but the company declined to name who that is.

Along with the Manchester United icon, Jamie Salter and Nick Woodhouse also serve as directors at the company so one of these three men took home the gold.

He has numerous business ventures including a new fragrance line (Picture: @cassblackbird/Instagram)

‘I’m afraid we won’t be disclosing who the highest-paid director is,’ a spokesperson for the 48-year-old legend told the publication.

The hefty payout was reportedly five times more than the combined salaries of the other 23 employees in the company.

This is just one firm in Beckham’s DRJB Holdings Limited empire, which is a ‘full-service global brand management operation’.

Whoever the lucky director is isn’t receiving this yearly as the payout was up 384% on the previous year, with the company turnover doubled to £72m in 2022.

The same year, Beckham reportedly sold a 55% stake in the firm to Authentic Brands for £200m.

For any business which falls outside DB Ventures, the former England captain has Seven Global, which made an £8.4 million profit through partnerships with Adidas, Tudor and Safilo.

The Satin Kajal Liner, which comes in 16 colours, has been flying off the shelves so fast the company is struggling to keep up with the demand.

Since her fashion label launched in 2008, it has been in the red but a more positive forecast was given by her main financial backer, David Belhassen, who said the brand was expecting to turn a profit.

Accounts are published this month but it’s believed Posh’s revenue is up almost 50% to £58 million, partly thanks to the boom of the beauty range first launched in 2019.

With all these businesses, we’re sure the Beckhams were able to repair damage caused last month by Storm Henk at their £12million home in the Cotswolds.

It’s hard to imagine a time when David Beckham and Victoria Beckham were anything but the ultimate power couple.

But it turns out that early on in their relationship, the pair were closer to strangers than the tight-knit team we saw on the hit Netflix documentary about the couple’s life.

David, 48, recently revealed that he ‘didn’t know’ wife Victoria, 49, at the time of their marriage.

The legendary footballer reflected on his 25 years of marriage to Posh Spice on SiriusXM’s This Life of Mine with James Corden, disclosing that his wife’s true personality came as a surprise to him after they were already married.

He admitted that when he decided to put a ring on her finger in 1999 after just two years of dating, he ‘fancied her’ but didn’t really know her as a person.

It wasn’t until after the pair were wed that David began to really see his wife as the ‘strong woman’ she is.

He shared: ‘I really just fancied her. I did. I just fancied her.

‘I didn’t know what she was like as a person. I just actually fancied her like most people did at that time, and I didn’t know who I was marrying [or] who I was going to be with for the rest of my life.’

The pair, who are parents to Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 21, Cruz, 19, and 12-year-old Harper, are definitely beyond ‘just fancying’ each other now.

Victoria reflected on the strength of their relationship in a profile in W Magazine: ‘No one said marriage was going to be easy. Yes, there have been bumps along the road. But the fact is we’ve come out of everything we’ve been through stronger and happier. It’s even better now than when we were first married. After all these years, we can just come home and have a laugh together.’

So, how did they get to that point?

David told Corden that once he got to know Victoria, their marriage really took off: ‘I didn’t realise what a strong woman she was, and that is what really attracted me to her more than anything.’

He continued: ‘I like a strong woman, and I like the fact that she works hard. I like the fact that she’s a great mum.’

The English icon even admitted that sometimes he likes his wife to dote on him, saying, ‘I like the fact that she looks after me sometimes, most of the time, and you know, we’ve created this life with four amazing children, which are the most important things in our life, so that’s why I chose Victoria… the way that she kind of runs the family.’

The successful marriage can be credited to the Spice Girls’ song Say You’ll Be There, according to David, who revealed that it was that music video that first drew him to Victoria.

He said: ‘It’s my favourite because it was the song that was on the TV when I was sat in my room with Gary Neville and it came on the telly and that was when I turned around to Gary and said, “I’m gonna marry that one in the short black dress”.’

It’s obvious that despite jumping into marriage, after 25 years together, the couple made the right choice.
