Loose Women star Judi Love has set social media ablaze with speculation after her chilly reaction to the fact Lorraine Kelly won the 2024 TV BAFTA Special Award

Loose Women star Judi Love raised eyebrows when she appeared to roll her eyes over Lorraine Kelly winning a prestigious TV BAFTA award.

The 43-year-old lunchtime talkshow panelist has been a regular member of the Loose Women line-up since 2020. On Sunday night, Judi, 64-year-old Lorraine and a string of other huge stars of the small screen gathered together at London’s Royal Festival Hall to sit through the 2024 British Academy Television Awards ceremony.

Acting and presenting talent from major shows including Happy Valley, I’m A Celebrity and Succession were up for awards – with the change of winning statuettes and the admiration and congratulations of their peers. However, some fans have been left wondering if there is beef between ITV stars Judi and Lorraine as cameras cut to the Loose Women star as the early morning TV host made an acceptance speech after being crowned the winner of the BAFTA Special Award.

The gong was awarded to her for her outstanding contribution to the television industry – as she has been on screens for four decades as of this year. Lorraine was handed her award by Brian Cox – and was cheered on by the theatre full of stars.

As she bowed out of her acceptance speech, Lorraine cheerfully quipped: “I’m on the telly tomorrow, but I’m going to celebrate tonight. Thank you so much!” Cameras then showed I’m A Celeb hosts Ant and Dec smiling manically while clapping away. Then The Sixth Commandment star Anne Reid was shown politely clapping along.

But as cameras moved to Judi, she could be seen looking far from impressed, was seemingly refusing to applaud, and rolling her eyes. The moment was seized upon by those watching the awards show from home – sparking a flurry of amused commentary.

One fan on X wrote: “Judi Love’s reaction to Lorraine’s award” – alongside two skull emoji’s implying they were ‘dying’ over the response. Another gasped online: “I’m with Judi.” While some suggested Judi’s reaction was down to Lorraine’s well known ‘part time’ approach to appearing on her own daily show.

One fan joked: “Judi knows Lorraine not coming back to work this Friday haha.” But others suggested it was a case of sour grapes, with one fan commenting: “Why are the #loosewomen so bitter.”

Taking to Instagram after the ceremony, Judi expressed her delight at being nominated for an award. Her show, Loose Women, was nominated alongside Lorraine for the Best Daytime award – but both lost out to winner the BBC’s Scam Interceptors.

Sharing snaps from the red carpet, the TV star wrote: “What a beautiful day! It’s been a honour to be nominated for best daytime show @bafta I want to thank the amazing production team @loosewomen that are constantly evolving the show and setting the pace for new content, diverse stories and topics that reflect the audience!! Even more fantastic that the black history month special episode was nominated with @realandypeters @charlenewhite @babatundecomedian.”

Saira Khan has opened up about her time on Loose Women and the real reason she decided to quit the ITV chat show after five years on the panel back in 2020

Saira Khan, the former Loose Women panellist, has opened up about her time on the show, why she decided to leave, and the friendships she maintains post-exit in a candid chat. In an exclusive with Woman’s Own magazine, the one-time Apprentice star who shot to fame as the runner-up in the inaugural 2005 series reflected on her stint from 2015 to 2020 on the panel of the hit daytime TV show.

She explained her departure from Loose Women, saying: “It was more about me growing up and saying, ‘Look, this is what I like, and this is what I don’t like,’ and some of the things that go on, I was just not comfortable with it, and I think you have to be honest with it.”

“It doesn’t mean you’re falling out, it just means it’s not enough for me.”

Khan also dished on her current ties with her ex-co-stars. “I recently went out with Ruth [Langsford] to go and see Coleen [Nolan] on her solo tour in Blackpool,” she revealed.

“I keep in touch with Andrea [McLean] and Denise [Welch]. I know people think I fell out with them all, but it wasn’t about the girls, it was more about me to be honest with you.”, reports OK!.

Post-Loose Women, Saira took on the gruelling SAS: Who Dares Wins, joining celebs like Kerry Katona, James Cracknell, Alexandra Burke, and Wes Nelson. She’s also been seen on the Jeremy Vine on 5 morning show, which she admits to preferring over her Loose Women gig.

“I wouldn’t go back to Loose Women I’ve done that and I think I’ve come out of it realising I want to move forward, and I want to do things that I really enjoy,” she shared. “Also, Jeremy Vine gives me space to talk about politics as well as just talking about my private life and who I am. I think people can get a bit bored of that, and the same subjects.

“I also like the diversity of it, and that it’s not just all females there’s men and women, and I quite like that. It’s a bit more real life, and you can have a bit more laughter.”

When she joined Jeremy’s show earlier this year, she told The Mirror : “After taking a few years off the telly, it was nice to be back and I didn’t realise how much I missed it. It was Jeremy [Vine] who persuaded me to come back.”

She added: “I think it’s good to have a break and I feel more confident now about who I am and what I want to say.”

Queen Camilla Gives Emphatic Update on King Charles’ Health Amid Cancer Battle

Queen Camilla isn’t sugarcoating her opinion on the condition of King Charles III’s health as he continues undergoing outpatient treatment for cancer.

Over the weekend, the queen shared another update regarding her husband’s battle with an unspecified type of cancer. And just like the last time she spoke about the king’s health, Camilla shared the new insight with equal parts hope and sass.

On Saturday, June 8, the queen reportedly told novelist Lee Child, who appeared at the second annual Queen’s Reading Room Festival at Hampton Court Palace in Surrey, that His Majesty is “doing fine except he won’t slow down and won’t do what he’s told,” per a recent Sky News report.

 

 

While it’s seemingly apparent that Camilla would have preferred the 75-year-old monarch to have taken more time off before returning to his royal duties earlier this spring, it’s more than evident that Charles has plans to continue catering to his responsibilities as a working royal.

Late last week, the royal couple attended the U.K.’s national commemorative event marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings. During the emotional June 5 event, Camilla was photographed with tears in her eyes as she sat next to the king during the poignant occasion.

This Saturday, June 15, the royals will be present at another big occasion–but in light of Charles’ cancer battle, one of the traditions has been tweaked to keep the king more comfortable.

Trooping the Colour, the King’s annual birthday parade, is set to take place in London at the end of the week. Instead of arriving on horseback, Buckingham Palace confirmed that Charles would be riding in a carriage instead.

While several other members of the royal family will be at the weekend event, Kate Middleton is not one of them.

The Princess of Wales has already apologized for her absence, noting that she’s very proud “of the entire regiment ahead of the Colonel’s Review and Trooping of the Colour” and that “I appreciate everyone trooping this year has been practicing for months, and dedicating many hours to ensuring their uniforms and drill are immaculate.”

Lady Colin Campbell launches another scathing attack on Meghan and Harry

Lady Colin Campbell is never one to hold her tongue especially when it comes to the relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.

In her latest attack, the author says Meghan ‘played Harry like a piano’ and ‘got everything she wanted’ as a result.

‘I do think Meghan and Prince Harry are in love,’ she told Daily Star.

‘She played Harry like a piano, hitting the right keys until she got everything she wanted.

‘Very quickly on how Meghan was cutting a swathe through Harry’s social life, she didn’t approve of this, she didn’t approve of that, she is an operator.’

Meghan and Harry met back in 2016 and were married in 2018 before stepping down from their senior royal roles this year.

Lady C says that since their marriage, the couple have not operated in line with royal protocol and these were signs of trouble ahead.

However, these attacks from the 71-year-old are hardly surprising given the fact that she has been outspoken in her criticism of Meghan for years.

Most recently, the author said that Meghan was determined to ‘outshine’ Princess Diana and that Harry would go along with anything she says because he is ‘less intelligent’.

‘Meghan and Diana have many of the same failings. I have reason to believe Meghan and Harry have a very strong relationship and they’re far better suited than Charles and Diana,’ she said.

‘I believe that Meghan is in control. She wears the trousers and is as dominating, charming and captivating a personality as Diana was in the marriage. I believe Meghan’s ambition was always to outshine Diana.’

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle Snubbed by King Charles, Not Invited to Trooping the Colour for Second Year in a Row

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did not receive an invite to Trooping the Colour event. Trooping the Colour 2024 will take place on June 15.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle will miss the 2024 Trooping the Colour, the annual celebration of the British monarch’s birthday, for the second year in a row. According to reports, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex did not receive an invitation to the annual festivities, which take place on June 15. They were also not invited to last year’s ceremony, the first-ever Trooping the Colour, held in honour of King Charles III.

Suits star gave brutally honest answer after being asked why Meghan Markle didn’t join cast at latest reunion

The Duchess of Sussex did not join the cast at the Golden Globes

Meghan Markle was clearly not up for getting another piece of pie with the lads.

Suits has been off the air since 2019, but remained as the most-watched series on Netflix last year.

The legal drama was watched for a total of 57.7 billion minutes, beating The Office‘s previous record of 57.1 billion, set in 2020.

And the show was originally shown on the USA Network and became available on Netflix shortly after, airing from 2011 to 2019.

For those unaware, the programme centres around college dropout Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), who begins working as a law associate for Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht), despite never attending law school.

The all-star cast also includes Meghan Markle as Rachel Zane, Gina Torres as Jessica Pearson, Sarah Rafferty as Donna Paulsen and Rick Hoffman as Louis Litt.

Fans were delighted when the group reunited during the Golden Globes in January of this year, however, many noticed how the Duchess of Sussex wasn’t there.

During a chat with reporter Marc Malkin on the red carpet, Gina Torres said: “Well, when it all came through we were texting each other. Our text thread is insane right now, it’s exciting.”

The interviewer then pressed the actor about her former co-star Markle, who announced she would not be reprising her role of Rachel Zane shortly before revealing her engagement to Prince Harry in 2017.

Malkin asked: “Who texted Meghan and said ‘you’ve got to come to the Golden Globes!’”

Instead of fluffing up an answer, Torres was brutally honest about the reason behind the cast’s lack of communication with the Duchess of Sussex.

Just like her character Jessica Pearson, Torres didn’t mince her words.

She responded: “We don’t have her number. We just don’t.”

Adams and Macht were both presenting at the star-studded ceremony and were later joined on stage by Torres and Rafferty to deliver the award for Outstanding Drama Series, which HBO hit show Succession took home.

Despite Markle supposedly leaving the chat, Torres reassured Suits fans there was no animosity between them.

The Hannibal star, 55, added: “She’ll see, she’ll watch. She’ll be happy that we’re here.”

Adams, who played the smooth talking protagonist Mike Ross in Suits, also gave some insight into the cast’s texting habits while at the Golden Globes.

He said: “Mostly, I’m just trying to get Gabriel to respond. Honestly, he’s slow on the text and he has like six different numbers now because he lives in England.

“So, we’re just trying to find out which number works.”

Markle and husband Prince Harry also came up in conversation during Jo Koy’s controversial opening monologue, which has received mixed reviews.

He made a veiled jab at the ‘rich, white and dysfunctional’ Royal Family, before zoning in on the couple.

Koy told the crowd: “Succession has nine nominations. Just a great series about a rich, white, dysfunctional family, all scheming… oh, wait, that’s The Crown. I’m sorry.”

The comedian then took a swipe at the Sussexes about their pricey Netflix deal, saying: “Harry and Meghan Markle got paid millions for doing absolutely nothing. And that’s just by Netflix.”

Evidence comes to light linking Christian Bruckner to Madeleine McCann’s disappearance

He is the main suspect in the case

Madeleine McCann.

Christian Bruckner has long been the prime suspect in the case of the disappearance and death of Madeleine McCann in the Praia da Luz (Portugal) apartment 17 years ago.

Now, a detective, Titus Stampa, has revealed that there are several pieces of evidence linking the accused to the case that could be very close to solving what happened on May 3, 2007.

What Happend the night of Madeleine McCann disapiring?

Bruckner is currently immersed in various legal proceedings, accused of multiple rapes, abuses and robberies. During his testimony at the Braunschweig District Court, Detective Stampa made a startling revelation about the Madeleine McCann case.

The investigator took the stand and, once there, confessed that the Federal Criminal Investigation Office (BKA) has evidence linking two of Bruckner’s email accounts to McCann’s disappearance and death, but made it known that he could not give further details because that case is still open.

Despite this, he made public that the suspect had used these accounts to exchange images of sexual abuse of minors and that, something that had caught the attention of investigators is that all evidence from the first half of 2007, the year of McCann’s disappearance, was removed from the account.

In his statement, Stampa refers to one of the emails sent and in it Bruckner refers to a fantasy where he kidnaps a five-year-old girl and her mother and, after taking them away, sexually abuses them with brutality.

Another piece of evidence in the BKA’s possession, an external hard drive containing a multitude of documents, also attracted attention, although it was not stated what the documents were about.

Kate Middleton comes clean in letter: What did the Princess of Wales say in cancer treatment?

The Dutchess of Edinburgh has been fighting cancer since January 2024

The Princess of Wales has apologized to the Irish Guards for her absence from a major military parade rehearsal as she continues to battle against cancer in private, two months on from her emotional appeal for privacy.

The Trooping the Colour march is a celebration of King Charles III‘s birthday, but Kate Middleton was not present as she looks to recover from the disease that was discovered in her body back in January, after she underwent undisclosed abdominal surgery in London.

Yet, despite the very understandable and forgivable circumstances of her absence, the future Queen Consort of the United Kingdom and Commonwealth still took the time to write a letter to the Irish Guards for missing the rehearsal, demonstrating the character she has.

“I appreciate everyone trooping this year has been practicing for months,” Middleton wrote in the letter on June 8. “And dedicating many hours to ensuring their uniforms and drill are immaculate.

“Being your colonel remains a great honor and I am very sorry that I’m unable to take the salute at this year’s Colonel’s Review. Please pass my apologies to the whole Regiment, however I do hope that I am able to represent you all once again very soon. Please send my very best wishes and good luck to all involved.”

The 42-year-old serves as an honorary colonel of the Irish Guards, who lead the celebrations for 2024, meaning she should have been there to take the Colonel’s Review and produce the salute to the King.

But Kensington Palace already confirmed on May 30 that she would not be present, as she’s not prepared to conduct public-facing duties yet although she continues to recover. Despite that, there’s no hard feelings from the Irish Guards.

“”The Irish Guards were deeply touched to receive a letter from our Colonel, Her Royal Highness, The Princess of Wales this morning,” the Irish Guards wrote on social media. “We continue to wish Her Royal Highness well in her recovery and send Her our very best wishes.

“Quis Separabit @KensingtonRoyal @ArmyInLondon.”

Middleton recovers from cancer

Since revealing her cancer to the world on March 22, after weeks of incredulous conspiracy theories, the Princess of Wales then withdrew from the public eye to focus on recovery and preventative chemotherapy.

Yet, despite hair and weight loss, she seems to be getting better and was even seen out and about with her family according to PEOPLE, who also reported she was conducting solo tasks too.

Prince William also added that she’s “doing well” back in May, although it remains unclear when she will be back in her full capacity as a working royal.

George Clooney Calls Out the Press for Being “Unjust” to Meghan Markle

 

“Most of it you can just shrug off and not pay attention to, but sometimes it’s unkind.”

George Clooney defended friend Meghan Markle, saying the way the press has been treating her is “a little unjust,” “a little unfair,” and “unkind.”
He also praised Meghan and Prince Harry as a “really wonderful, loving couple.”
Clooney previously stood up for Meghan, saying she’s being chased like Princess Diana was.

George Clooney is standing up for Meghan Markle, saying the press has been “a little unjust” with its treatment of the duchess in the royal spotlight, even though she “hadn’t done anything except just happen to live her life.”

The actor made his comments during an appearance on Good Morning Britain this morning, according to People. “I think it’s a little unfair at times,” he said in the interview. “I’ve seen it when the press can turn on you for sort of ridiculous reasons and for almost nothing, and it seemed to me to be a little unjust since [Meghan] hadn’t done anything except just happen to live her life.”

He later added, “Most of it you can just shrug off and not pay attention to, but sometimes it’s unkind.”

Clooney and his wife, Amal, are known to be close friends with Meghan and Prince Harry. They attended their royal wedding last may, hosted the couple at their home at Lake Como, and Amal even attended Meghan’s the private baby shower in New York City last month.

The actor also called the Duke and Duchess of Sussex a “really wonderful, loving couple” and praised Meghan as a “really kind and smart and intelligent young woman” during his Good Morning Britain sit-down.

Although royals don’t usually respond to rumors or tabloid reports about themselves (Meghan has even said she’s stayed away from Twitter), it seems their friends are doing that job for them. In early February, an anonymous group of Meghan’s close friends publicly denounced the “global bullying” against the duchess.

Clooney previously defended Meghan last month, saying she’s being chased like the late Princess Diana was. “She’s a woman who is seven months pregnant and she has been pursued and vilified and chased in the same way that Diana was and its history repeating itself,” the actor had told Australia’s Who magazine. “We’ve seen how that ends.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle at odds over UK return: Why Meghan is holding him back

The couple are reportedly at odds over their plans for the future

Meghan and Harry.LAPRESSE

More than ever, Prince Harry is determined to have a permanent home in the country where was born and, at one stage, was in line to the throne. But Meghan Markle‘s opposition to his desire to return to the United Kingdom could scupper his plans.

The 39-year-old royal, who stepped down from his duties as a senior working royal along with Meghan, 42, has been residing in Montecito, California, since 2020.

Prince Harry lookalike draws attention at Met Gala while helping Queen Latifah

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have built a life for themselves in the United States, working with Netflix and Spotify to reveal secret details about their lives in the Royal Family.

In doing so, it may have caused irreversible damage to their relationship with King Charles and Prince William.

Harry is said to be pining for a return to the UK or to have a permanent residence based there, only to shut down by his wife Meghan, who has refused to step foot in London again, according to one expert.

“Prince Harry is said to have been eyeing up a return to the UK, but Meghan Markle is not so keen and is the ‘one thing’ holding him back. I’m sure that [Harry] would love to have a permanent home in the UK,” royal expert Kinsey Schofield said, per the Daily Express.

“Meghan Markle is the one thing holding him back because she tells us through her actions that she has no desire to return [to the UK].”

Why does Prince Harry want UK return?

The ongoing disagreement between the couple leaves their two young children, Archie and Lilibet, caught in a tough situation. Harry has expressed his desire for his children to embrace their British identity, but Meghan isn’t keen after claiming poor treatment from the media and the royals in the UK

What’s more, King Charles‘ cancer diagnosis means Harry wants to try and reconcile things with his father due to the seriousness of his condition.

Prince Harry and King Charles have been at odds in recent times, and more so since the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022. However, King Charles‘ illness and Prince Harry‘s silence on matters concerning the family appears to show he is keen to put the bad blood to bed.
