The Traitors star Judy Wilson left the This Morning studio in complete silence after unexpectedly sharing a piece of news no one saw coming. Hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard could not hide their astonishment at the emotional announcement. The entire studio was filled with a mix of collective shock and a sudden wave of spreading happiness.

Fans of The Traitors were treated to an unforgettable moment when star Judy Wilson appeared live on This Morning and left hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard completely stunned with a surprise family announcement. What began as a routine discussion about her dramatic time on the BBC One game show quickly turned into a jaw-dropping reveal that had everyone in the studio reeling.

During the live segment, Judy casually dropped the bombshell that her daughter Roxy is pregnant. Catching both hosts off guard, she cheerfully announced that she would soon be welcoming another grandchild. Judy explained that the baby is due on June 12 and joked that this would make her a grandmother for the twelfth time. The revelation instantly shifted the tone of the interview, with Cat and Ben visibly shocked as they scrambled to react to the unexpected news.

Roxy, who entered The Traitors alongside her mother earlier this month, has already been a focal point of discussion among fans. The mother-daughter duo joined the series together, secretly concealing their real-life relationship from the other contestants. While viewers were eventually let in on the truth, Judy and Roxy worked hard to hide their connection inside Ardross Castle, aware that entering the game as a pair could be seen as an unfair alliance.

The live television surprises did not end there. During the same interview, Judy made a cheeky and outrageous swipe at former Celebrity Traitors contestant Charlotte Church. As the conversation turned to Judy’s time settling into the castle, she admitted she had gone snooping around her bedroom and made a surprising discovery.

Judy revealed that she found a bra hidden behind a chair in her room and jokingly assumed it belonged to Charlotte Church. She bluntly stated that the item was “a large bra” and suggested it must have been left behind by Charlotte. Cat Deeley quickly leaned into the humor, quipping that it sounded like “a game of bra Traitors,” while Ben Shephard added to the laughter by calling out to Charlotte on air, jokingly asking if she was missing a bra and suggesting that no one had tidied the room before Judy arrived.

The lighthearted moment showcased Judy’s unfiltered personality, something that viewers had already become familiar with during her time on The Traitors. However, beneath the humor, Judy has also continued to stir intrigue and speculation about secret relationships still hidden within the game.

Following her banishment from the castle, Judy openly admitted that she believes there is still a secret father-and-son duo competing in the series. The child liaison officer was the first player voted out at the roundtable this season, despite being a Faithful all along. Her elimination came as a shock to some viewers, especially given her strong opinions and outspoken presence early in the game.

After her exit, Judy spoke candidly about her suspicions, explaining that her own experience of hiding her connection to Roxy made her more alert to possible hidden relationships. She specifically pointed to Maz Bana, 59, and Faraaz Noor, 22, suggesting they could secretly be father and son. According to Judy, there was a lot of speculation about the pair while she was still in the castle, with contestants frequently questioning whether there was more to their dynamic than met the eye.

This theory has also been widely discussed by fans online, adding fuel to the ongoing sleuthing culture that has come to define The Traitors. Viewers have been dissecting every interaction, glance, and comment, convinced that more secret connections are waiting to be exposed.

Ironically, Judy and Roxy’s own secret nearly came undone much earlier than planned. During the first mission of the series, the players were divided into three teams and placed into separate rowing boats. Their task involved retrieving coffins marked with pound signs and placing them into graves bearing the names of fellow contestants, effectively nominating players for potential murder.

In one particularly tense moment, Roxy accidentally referred to Judy as “mum” while urging her to stop rowing. The pair were seated in the same boat, and Roxy could clearly be heard saying, “Stop, mum, stop, stop, stop guys.” Despite how obvious it seemed to viewers at home, no one else in the boat appeared to notice the slip-up.

Fans quickly took to social media to share their shock. One viewer wrote on X that they couldn’t believe what they had just heard and questioned whether there was another secret mother-and-child duo in the game. Another fan admitted they had to rewind the scene, posting that it was an incredible way to accidentally expose a secret. Others were equally baffled that the moment went unnoticed by fellow contestants and was not even highlighted during the Uncloaked aftershow.

Later in the episode, Roxy officially revealed the truth to viewers, confirming that she and Judy are indeed mother and daughter. She explained that when Judy’s name was raised as a potential Traitor on the first night, she felt an overwhelming sense of protectiveness. Speaking directly to the camera, Roxy admitted that keeping the relationship secret was emotionally difficult, especially when hearing others cast doubt on her mother.

Roxy explained that entering the game as a pair could easily be interpreted as forming an alliance, which is why they felt it was necessary to hide their connection. She acknowledged that she might be biased in defending Judy, simply because she is her mum, but emphasized how uncomfortable it felt to hear negative speculation about her character.

Despite Roxy’s efforts to subtly protect her mother, Judy was ultimately unable to convince the group of her innocence and was banished from the castle. Her departure added to an already dramatic start to the season, which also saw fellow contestant Netty become the first Faithful to be murdered by the Traitors.

Netty’s exit left many players visibly devastated during breakfast, as they discovered she had been chosen to leave Ardross Castle. Speaking after her elimination, Netty expressed deep disappointment, saying she believed she would have been a strong Faithful and wondered whether being too outspoken had contributed to her early demise. She still wished the remaining Faithful luck, describing her experience as awesome despite the abrupt ending.

Fans quickly flooded social media with reactions, many questioning the Traitors’ decision to target Netty so early. Some argued that she would have been a useful distraction at future roundtables due to the suspicion surrounding her bond with Ross. Others said they were shocked by the move and felt different players, including Maz, might have been more strategic choices.

As the season continues, theories about secret couples, hidden family ties, and covert alliances show no signs of slowing down. With Judy’s candid revelations, accidental slip-ups, and bold accusations, The Traitors has once again proven why it remains one of the most talked-about reality shows on British television. Between shocking live TV moments, unexpected pregnancy announcements, and ongoing speculation inside the castle, viewers are bracing themselves for even more twists still to come.

The adoptive parents of the 21-year-old German girl claiming to be Madeleine McCann have broken their silence. After being accused of hiding the truth, they issued a furious statement today.

BY CRIME DESK REPORTERS

GERMANY — For months, they have been the villains of the internet. They were accused of being kidnappers, traffickers, and liars.

But today, the parents of Heidi W., the 21-year-old German woman claiming to be Madeleine McCann, have emerged from the shadows. In a statement released through their legal team, they have addressed the global controversy head-on, delivering a narrative that paints a very different picture of the girl the world thinks it knows.

“IT IS JUST A COINCIDENCE”

The family acknowledges the physical similarities that have captivated millions—the blonde hair, the facial structure, and even the rare Coloboma in the eye.

“We see what the world sees,” the statement reads. “Yes, she looks like Madeleine. It is an unsettling coincidence of nature. But looking like a missing child does not make you that child. We held her in our arms minutes after she was born in a German hospital. We have the photos. We have the wristband.”

THE MENTAL HEALTH DEFENSE

The parents claim that Heidi is not a victim of abduction, but a victim of her own mind. They allege she has stopped taking critical medication and has been consumed by online conspiracy theories.

“Our daughter is unwell,” the mother stated. “She invents stories to cope with her internal struggles. She has created a fantasy world where she is a princess lost in a foreign land because she cannot accept the reality of her life here.”

THE ULTIMATE CHALLENGE: “TEST US”

Then came the bombshell. After weeks of reports claiming they were blocking a DNA test, the parents have reportedly flipped the script.

“We have nothing to hide,” the statement declares. “The media says we are refusing DNA tests. This is a lie. We are ready. We are willing to submit our DNA to any international laboratory tomorrow. We are ready to prove that she is our biological daughter and end this madness once and for all.”

IS IT A BLUFF?

This sudden willingness to cooperate has stunned investigators. Why the sudden change of heart?

Hypothesis 1: They are telling the truth. They are simply exhausted parents dealing with a mental health crisis and are finally desperate enough to use DNA to shut down the rumors.

Hypothesis 2: It is a calculated bluff. They know the legal process to get an international DNA test approved takes months. Are they buying time to tamper with evidence or disappear?

Hypothesis 3: The “Family Secret” Theory. Are they confident the DNA will match one of them (perhaps the father), while hiding the fact that the mother is different?

VERIFICATION NEEDED

Currently, no date has been set for the procedure. While the statement is powerful, words are not proof. Until the swabs are taken and the science speaks, the world is left wondering: Are these innocent parents fighting for their reputation, or master manipulators playing a high-stakes game of chicken with the truth?

Storm Over Britain: Holly Valance Poses With Tommy Robinson at ‘Unite the Kingdom’ Rally, Praising His ‘Redemption’ — And Her Surprise Appearance Ignites a Nationwide Debate

Holly Valance has found herself at the centre of a political firestorm after she was photographed alongside activist Tommy Robinson at the high-profile ‘Unite the Kingdom’ rally in London — a mass gathering that drew an estimated crowd of more than 100,000 people and led to multiple arrests across the capital.

The former Neighbours star was seen with her arm around Robinson during the event, where she spoke about what she described as his “personal turnaround”. Wearing a red cap emblazoned with the slogan “Mega” — short for “Make England Great Again” — Valance has in recent years become an increasingly visible supporter of Reform UK and its political platform.

The 42-year-old actress and singer joined thousands of demonstrators at the rally, which police confirmed resulted in 24 arrests for alleged public-order offences. Her appearance comes as her estranged husband, billionaire property developer Nick Candy, has taken on a financial role within Reform UK after leaving the Conservative Party.

Valance has previously been pictured with high-profile political figures, including Nick Candy, Donald Trump and Nigel Farage at Mar-a-Lago in April 2022, and later alongside Donald Trump Jr at a London fundraiser in June 2024.

The rally, held around Parliament Square, featured speeches, a heavy police presence and moments of tension between demonstrators and counter-protesters. Reports estimate between 110,000 and 150,000 people were present across central London, while a separate counter-demonstration advocating equality and anti-discrimination took place nearby.

Tensions rose when officers attempted to prevent marchers from approaching the counter-protest area. Objects were thrown and several confrontations broke out, prompting more than 100 helmeted officers and mounted police to intervene. A number of police officers were injured during the clashes

In the aftermath, Sir Keir Starmer condemned the misuse of the national flag in ways that, he said, deepened division, and criticised the violence directed at police, making clear the Government would not tolerate attacks on officers.

The event also attracted unexpected figures who have gained large international followings online. Among them was Elon Musk, who addressed the crowd before later joining Robinson on stage for an interview touching on political issues, public policy and the future direction of the country. Other international commentators and political figures were also in attendance.

Valance has been a familiar face at political gatherings in both the UK and the US in recent years, including visits to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate and fundraising events in London. She first rose to fame as Felicity “Flick” Scully in Neighbours, later enjoying chart success with several pop singles and reaching the semi-finals of Strictly Come Dancing in 2011.

Her private life has remained under scrutiny after reports earlier this year confirmed she and Nick Candy were separating following 13 years of marriage.

With its huge turnout, charged atmosphere and celebrity involvement, Saturday’s rally has reignited fierce debate about political division in Britain — and Holly Valance’s presence has placed her firmly at the heart of that national conversation.

Pete Wicks Lands Huge TV Role — Branded ‘Worthy Successor to Paul O’Grady’

TOWIE cast member Pete Wicks is reported to have bagged a second series of his TV show For Dogs’ Sake.
Earlier this year Pete, 37, hosted four episodes of the programme for U&W. It was filmed at the Dogs Trust rehoming centre in Basildon, Essex.

Now, according to reports, the former Strictly Come Dancing fave will front another run of the show after commissioners were pleased with the initial series.

Furthermore, a telly insider is said to have compared the reality TV veteran to showbiz legend Paul O’Grady. He presented 11 series of For The Love Of Dogs on ITV before his passing in March 2023.

This Morning star Alison Hammond subsequently took over the reins from Paul as host, but has been slammed by some unhappy viewers on social media.

Alison later hit back at the haters, suggesting they switch off if they don’t want to watch. But negative remarks about her have persisted online.

Pete Wicks: For Dogs’ Sake news update

A source is reported to have told The Sun about Pete: “The show got a great reception when it aired earlier this year. And not just because he was still basking in the afterglow of Strictly.

Many viewers compared For Dogs’ Sake to For The Love Of Dogs.

“Many viewers compared For Dogs’ Sake to show For The Love Of Dogs, and said he was a worthy successor to the late, great Paul O’Grady who hosted the ITV show.”

Stirring the pot, the unnamed insider is said to have added: “It will be interesting news for ITV, as it has just launched a second series of For The Love Of Dogs under new host Alison Hammond.”

ED! has approached a representative for Pete Wicks for comment.

‘Pete would’ve been perfect’

When For The Love Of Dogs returned to ITV with a new, 13th series earlier this week, detractors of Alison frequently brought Pete’s name up as their preferred alternative to present the programme.

“You need a different host ASAP. Take a look at Pete Wicks For Dogs’ Sake’. He would’ve been perfect to take over from our darling Paul #FLOD,” one X user sniped.

Another suggested: “Surely someone like Pete Wicks would be a better host of For The Love Of Dogs.”

And a third claimed: “The presenter should be Pete Wicks or the Crufts presenter Radzi Chinyanganya. Both of these are dynamic talented presenters who love dogs. I’ve taken the advice that Alison gave us last season. She said: ‘If you don’t want to watch, don’t watch.’ Thanks Alison, I won’t watch!”

ED! readers also voted in an exclusive online poll, with a huge 87% of respondents backing hunky Pete to take over from Alison.

THE NEW KING HAS ARRIVED: Sir David Attenborough has effectively crowned Hamza Yassin as Britain’s new nature hero

Move over, every polished presenter who ever read a script about badgers: Britain has chosen its new natural-history heartbeat, and he’s a 6-foot-6 Sudanese-Scottish giant who learned to track lynx before he could drive, cries when otters hold hands, and once spent 42 straight nights sleeping in a hide just to film pine martens falling in love.

 Online movie streaming services

Last night, BBC One dropped the first trailer for Hamza’s Wild Britain (a six-part landmark series launching spring 2026), and within four hours it became the most-watched BBC trailer in a decade. The final 15 seconds alone have been viewed 28 million times: Hamza, knee-deep in a Highland river at dawn, whispering so gently the microphone barely catches it as a mother otter teaches her pup to swim literally inches from his face. No music. Just his soft Glasgow-Sudanese lilt: “Look… she’s telling him the water will hold him, if he trusts it. Same thing my mum told me when we arrived in Scotland and I couldn’t speak a word of English.”

Hamza arrived in rural Northamptonshire from Sudan at age eight, speaking no English, clutching a bird book his father gave him “because birds don’t care what language you speak.” By twelve he was the weird kid cycling ten miles before school to photograph kingfishers. At sixteen he won Young Wildlife Photographer of the Year with a shot of a fox cub yawning that looked like it was laughing at the universe. University (Bangor, zoology) was just an excuse to live closer to puffins.

Then came the decade nobody saw: camera-operating on Planet Earth III, Springwatch, and Countryfile, always the guy in the muddy boots who could lie motionless for 14 hours until a badger sniffed his lens and decided he was harmless. Crew nicknamed him “the Otter Whisperer” after he filmed the first-ever footage of wild otters playing with pebbles in the Cairngorms, entirely by becoming part of the furniture for six weeks.

 Gift baskets

His big break was accidental. In 2022 he entered Strictly Come Dancing “because my mum loves glitterballs and I thought it might pay for a new hide.” He won the whole thing with Jowita Przystał, foxtrotting like a man who’d spent his life learning rhythm from golden eagles soaring on thermals. Overnight, eight million people discovered the gentle giant who spoke about conservation between sambas.

The BBC pounced. First Hamza: Wild Isles (2024), then the Emmy-nominated Hamza’s Sudan (2025), where he returned to his birthplace to film the last northern white rhinos under the same stars he watched as a child. Critics called it “the most emotional hour of television this decade.” Viewers just called it “life-changing.”

Now Hamza’s Wild Britain is being billed as the spiritual successor to Attenborough’s Life on Earth. Shot entirely by Hamza himself (he still refuses a full camera crew because “animals don’t like strangers”), it promises never-before-seen behaviour: red squirrels teaching their young to tightrope-walk power lines, urban foxes using pedestrian crossings at night, golden eagles hunting in snowstorms so violent Hamza had to be roped to a cliff for three days.

The trailer’s money shot? Hamza lying flat on his stomach in a peat bog at 4 a.m., face inches from a wild mountain hare in its white winter coat. The hare slowly reaches out and touches his beard with its paw. Hamza doesn’t move, doesn’t breathe. When the hare eventually hops away, he whispers to camera, voice cracking: “Sometimes the wild decides you’re worth trusting. That’s the best feeling in the world.”

Sir David himself has already given the ultimate blessing. In a rare statement, the 99-year-old legend said: “Hamza sees the natural world the way poets see love: with wonder that never ages. The baton isn’t being passed; it’s being shared.”

Social media is flooded with kids posting drawings of otters wearing glittery bow ties “for Uncle Hamza.” Primary schools are reporting record numbers of children wanting to become “rangers instead of YouTubers.” The RSPB’s junior membership has tripled in six months.

Hamza, being Hamza, responded to the “new Attenborough” hype with typical humility on Instagram last night: a simple photo of his muddy wellies next to a child’s drawing of an otter holding a glitterball, captioned, “I’m just the tall idiot who talks to animals. Thank you for letting me into your living rooms. I’ll try to make the planet prouder than I am right now.”

Britain has a new voice for its wild places, and it sounds like hope wrapped in a Highland breeze. Spring 2026 can’t come soon enough.

HOT – FARMERS’ REVOLT SHAKES BRUSSELS: EU HALTS HATED REFORMS AFTER MASS PROTEST!

The European Union has delayed the signing of a divisive trade agreement with South American nations amid intense farmers’ protests in Brussels.

Both France and Italy have requested additional time to win over their agricultural sectors, seeing the bloc postpone the inking of the deal until the new year.

This postponement has once again scuppered the EU’s plans to finalise the long-stalled Mercosur free trade accord.

The agreement, which has been under negotiation for a quarter of a century, would establish the world’s largest free-trade zone encompassing between 700 and 780 million people.

However, farmers across the continent have argued that increased imports of beef, chicken and cereals from the South American market would threaten their livelihoods.

To protest the planned sealing of the agreement, 10,000 farmers from across all 27 EU member states descended on Brussels.

More than 1,000 tractors rolled through the streets of the Belgian capital as part of the mostly peaceful demonstrations that occasionally spilt over into chaotic scenes.

Our farmers need to take a leaf out of their european cousins book . Bring this lying corrupt government down . Protest by all means but simply stop all food production and blockde the ports to stop import replacements. British public will support their farmers and we are happy to go without rid the UK of liars Starmer, Reeyes and Lammy

The EU has delayed a divisive trade deal after fiery protests from farmers in Brussels

Protesters were seen hurling potatoes and eggs at police while blocking roads and igniting fireworks.

Some also brought down the Christmas tree standing outside the European Parliament, replacing it with a blazing pile of tyres and debris.

Police deployed water cannons and tear gas to manage the crowds, with black smoke engulfing surrounding streets.

Windows at the parliament building were smashed by troublemakers on the fringes of the demonstration, prompting officials to email staff, warning them to keep away from the windows.

As many as 10,000 farmers from across all 27 EU member states protested the plans outside the European Parliment

In the shadow of what some called the century’s largest mobilisation of European farmers, European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen announced on X: “We have reached out to our Mercosur partners and agreed to postpone slightly the signature.”

A Commission spokesman also confirmed: “The European Commission proposed that it be postponed to early January to further discuss with countries that still need a little bit more time.”

The delay follows a telephone conversation on Thursday between Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni and Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

“Meloni explained that she is not against the agreement, she is simply experiencing some political embarrassment because of the Italian farmers, but that she is certain she is capable of convincing them to accept the agreement,” President Lula said.

“She asked me that if we have patience for a week, 10 days, at most a month, Italy will join the agreement,” he added.

Ms Meloni’s office stated on Thursday evening: “The Italian government is ready to sign the agreement as soon as the necessary responses are provided to farmers, which depend on the decisions of the European Commission and can be finalised quickly.”

French President Emmanuel Macron also called for a delay, making clear upon arriving in Brussels that Paris would not back the agreement without enhanced protections for its agricultural sector.

“I want to tell our farmers, who have been making France’s position clear all along: we consider that we are not there yet, and the deal cannot be signed” as it stands, President Macron told reporters.

French President Emmanuel Macron and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni requested a delay in the agreement

He pledged that France would resist any “attempt to force this through”.

German Chancellor Friedrich Merz took a contrasting view, pressing for rapid progress on the accord.

“If the European Union wants to remain credible in global trade policy, then decisions must be made now,” Chancellor Merz stated in Brussels on Thursday.

Germany, Spain and the Nordic countries remain strong advocates for the pact, keen to boost exports amid Chinese competition and potential American tariffs.

“I Lost Peggy”: Pete Wicks Breaks Down as He Announces the Heartbreaking Death of His Beloved French Bulldog, Just Weeks After Hoping Months of Treatment Could Save Her

Pete Wicks has opened up about a deeply personal loss, revealing that his much-loved Peggy has died, just weeks after he told fans she was facing months of treatment.

The Strictly Come Dancing star, 37, shared the heartbreaking news during a recent episode of his podcast Staying Relevant, explaining that Peggy actually passed away around a month ago. Pete said he hadn’t spoken publicly about it before, but decided to address it after listeners began wondering why only his other dog, Eric, was with him in the studio.

On the podcast, Pete told listeners that on a sad note, and knowing people would ask, the reason Peggy wasn’t there was because he had lost her recently. He explained that Eric had come into the office because he’d been lonely, adding quietly that Peggy died about a month ago.

Pete had first alarmed fans back in July when he revealed he had “nearly lost” Peggy, sharing that she was about to begin months of treatment. At the time, he posted a photo of the pair cuddling and admitted it had been a tough week, saying Peggy had been through the wars but never gave up. He told followers he was simply happy to have her back home and remained hopeful despite the long road ahead.

Earlier this month, while promoting his U series For Dogs’ Sake, Pete admitted 2025 had been a heavy year emotionally. He revealed he was planning to spend Christmas Day alone with Eric, joking that he’d likely sit at home with a Pot Noodle. Pete said he usually spends Christmas on his own with his dogs, and this year felt no different.

After spending weeks filming at Dogs Trust’s rehoming centre in Basildon, Pete also spoke about the possibility of adopting another dog one day, but stressed he wouldn’t rush the decision. He explained that while he wants every dog, he has to practise what he preaches, given his unusual lifestyle. He added that Eric, now 12, also gets a say, saying it’s important to find the right companion for him and to get it right, as he always has.

Peggy had been part of Pete’s life since 2018, when he rescued her through Saviours. He has often spoken about his bond with dogs, previously admitting he prefers them to people and that he couldn’t stop crying while filming his emotional animal-focused series.

Pete’s love for dogs began in childhood, when he and his mum adopted their first, Arnie, when he was just 10 years old. In 2016, he went on to rescue Eric from Dogs Trust Basildon — the loyal companion who is now helping him through the loss of Peggy.

DIVORCE DEAL REVEALED Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have reportedly reached a private settlement — with their children at the centre of the agreement

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have officially finalized their divorce and have entered a settlement agreement, just three months after the actress moved to end the couple’s 19-year marriage.

Kidman, 58, cited irreconcilable differences in her September 30 divorce petition.

Court documents obtained by the Daily Mail, which were filed on Tuesday, reveal the couple have agreed to waive all rights to child support and spousal support, with each parent responsible for their own legal fees and expenses.

A hearing was scheduled for this morning, though Nicole waived her right to appear in court, having been spotted flying back from Australia just yesterday.

The divorce decree – which the actress noted that details were hashed out on September 6, before filing the petition – ensures that all property, from household furniture and appliances to vehicles, bank accounts, investments, and personal items, is divided to the mutual satisfaction of both parties, with each keeping what is already in their possession.

Under the parenting plan, Kidman will spend 306 days a year with the children, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith, 14, while Urban, 58, will have 59 days – ‘every other weekend’ – giving her the lion’s share of custody.

Despite both parents having reported monthly incomes ‘in excess of $100,000,’ the court has ordered zero dollars in child support, as agreed by both parties.

Country star weighs in on romance rumors between Keith Urban and close pal Maggie Baugh

The Daily Mail has not received a response to its request for comment from reps for both Kidman and Urban.

It’s not confirmed whether the pair had a prenup – though there has been speculation.

Still, the documents suggest that Kidman and Urban hashed out all the details with their attorneys amicably, avoiding any formal discovery or interrogation.

The decree explicitly states: ‘Each party indicates that he or she does not want to proceed with formal discovery, including completing interrogatories and requests for production of documents, or discovery depositions, that are designed to discover assets and debts.’

The settlement follows reports that reality had started to sink in for Keith following his divorce from Nicole.

The country star was allegedly ‘wondering if he’s made a huge mistake’ following their split.

After recently performing private shows for members of Donald Trump’s inner circle, the star was reportedly feeling more isolated than ever.

‘He’s got to pay the bills – and divorce lawyers don’t come cheap,’ a source told Woman’s Day magazine of the couple’s settlement.

Keith Urban’s guitarist Maggie Baugh releases shock new song – fuelling romance rumours

Keith has forked out for the couple’s daughter Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret’s private school tuition and, according to the publication, needs to make a living in any way he can.

‘It’s a lonely existence for Keith right now – he’s exhausted, isolated and looking at a future he never imagined,’ the source added.

‘He’s also lost his best friend, Nicole, who was also his greatest supporter in life. He’s wondering if he’s made a huge mistake.’

The reports come amid speculation linking Urban to his 25-year-old guitarist, Maggie Baugh.

At the time of Kidman’s divorce filing, insiders said her camp believed Urban had already moved on with a ‘younger woman in the music industry‘.

Rumors intensified when an unearthed concert video surfaced showing Urban performing The Fighter at Las Vegas’s Mandalay Bay on April 1.

The guitarist, more than three decades his junior, appeared to share a close rapport with the country star, although neither she nor Urban have publicly commented on the alleged romance

During the performance, he pointed to Baugh while singing the lyrics, ‘I was born to love you,’ while she played alongside him on stage.

The guitarist, more than three decades his junior, appeared to share a close rapport with the country star, although neither she nor Urban have publicly commented on the alleged romance.

Fans also noted that Urban had reportedly altered the lyrics of the song, which was originally written about Kidman, during live performances.

He seemed to replace references to his ex with nods to Baugh, adding further fuel to speculation about his personal life.

Kidman and Urban’s breakup shocked fans earlier this year – and the Oscar-winning actress had reportedly been dreading the public’s response for months prior.

The actress and musician’s separation was confirmed by the Daily Mail on September 29, and Nicole filed for divorce on September 30, citing irreconcilable differences.

Their marriage began to fall apart at the beginning of summer 2025.

Before her marriage to Urban, Kidman was married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001; (pictured 1997)

Kidman was linked to a handful of high-profile figures in Hollywood, including musician Lenny Kravitz and actor Billy Crudup; (pictured with Kravitz in 2003)

The split was reportedly a long-term development, stemming from months of quiet separation and diverging paths due to work commitments, according to Daily Mail sources.

Before her marriage to Urban, Kidman was married to Tom Cruise from 1990 to 2001.

During their decade together, the couple adopted two children: Isabella Jane, born in 1992, and Connor Anthony, born in 1995.

Their marriage ended in divorce after 11 years, with both Kidman and Cruise continuing to co-parent their children.

Kidman was linked to a handful of other high-profile figures in Hollywood as well, including musician Lenny Kravitz and actor Billy Crudup.

She was also rumored to have had brief connections with Michael Hutchence and media heir Lachlan Murdoch, though these were never confirmed.

Despite these early relationships, Kidman’s most publicly significant unions remain her marriages to Cruise and Urban.

Before his marriage to Kidman, Urban was linked to a few women publicly, though none were as high-profile as his relationship with Kidman.

RESPECT A 24-year-old living with dementia has ʈɾagically diєd over Christmas — leaving behind a grieving family who made an extraordinary decision. In the midst of unimaginable pain, they chose to donate his brain to science, hoping his life — and death — could help unlock a cure for others. A short life. A powerful legacy.

The family of a 24-year-old dementia sufferer who died just after Christmas have donated his brain to science in the hope that it can help researchers.

Andre Yarham had started becoming forgetful or acting inappropriately when he was diagnosed with early-onset dementia a month before his 23rd birthday.

His cognitive abilities declined rapidly and he died on December 27 after catching an infection which was exacerbated by the weakened immune system caused by his condition.

Andre’s mother, Sam Fairbairn, told the Daily Mail: ‘Unfortunately he wasn’t able to make the decision [about donating his brain] because the disease had taken his voice and his mind quite early on.

‘But Andre being the person he was, if he could help he would have said yes.’

She added: ‘Early-onset dementia is something you hear about more and more now. It’s not just something you associate with people who are in their 50s or 60s.

‘What we’re hoping is even if it’s not a cure but that it leads to some sort of treatment that can prolong someone’s life and give them a few more years with a loved one that would be just amazing.’

Ms Fairnbairn’s concerns about her once ‘chatty’ son began when he became forgetful and started giving three-word answers to questions or having a blank look on his face when spoken to.

An MRI in October 2023 revealed atrophy of the frontal lobe, which causes the part of the brain to shrink. A consultant compared the scan to ‘looking at the brain of a 70-year-old’.

It was later confirmed that Andre, a wrestling and Xbox fan who gave up his job at a car manufacturer as his condition deteriorated, had frontotemporal dementia (FTD) caused by a protein mutation.

The rare form of the disease affects about one in 20 sufferers.

Ms Fairbairn, 49, of Dereham, Norfolk, quit her career as a coach driver to look after her son full-time, dedicating her days to helping him dress, bathe him and eat.

She and her husband Alastair, 62, who she married in 2022, also ticked off items on a bucket list including visiting Shrek’s Adventure! London and live wrestling in Nottingham.

But by September last year Andre had to be moved into a care home as his mobility declined rapidly and he started having falls.

‘He walked in, albeit very slowly, and after a month he was using a wheelchair and being hoisted into it,’ Ms Fairbairn said.

‘Then at the beginning of December he got an infection and he was taken to hospital and was put on end-of-life care. He stopped eating and drinking.’

Andre died at the Priscilla Bacon Lodge hospice in Norwich but Ms Fairbairn said she took comfort from the fact he retained his jovial personality to the end.

‘The nurses and health care workers would come in to change him and you’d hear a “Whoo”, which was his happy noise, because they’d said something funny to him,’ she explained.

About 50,000 people in England are believed to be living with early-onset dementia, when tell-tale symptoms begin before the age of 65.

Fewer than two-thirds have been diagnosed, however, suggesting tens of thousands are unaware they have the illness.

The Daily Mail has started a Defeating Dementia campaign, in association with the Alzheimer’s Society, with the aim of improving awareness of the disease, increasing early diagnosis, boosting research and improving care.

Ms Fairbairn, whose other son Tyler, 23, has so far pointedly avoided having tests to see if has the same genetic condition as his older brother, backed the campaign, saying: ‘I’m all for any research and better awareness. People need to know how devastating this disease is.

‘It’s the cruellest disease because there’s no treatment. There’s nothing to help with the symptoms and you watch, and you grieve, and you lose that person time and time again.

Pictured aged 17 with his mother, Andre was a ‘chatty’ individual before he was struck down with the debilitating disease

‘It’s just heartbreaking to see that person – and that person doesn’t even realise what’s happening to them most of the time.

‘With cancer there’s chemotherapy and radiotherapy. People can have treatment and go into remission and can live a very fruitful, long life. With dementia, there’s nothing.’

Andre’s brain was donated to Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge for research. His funeral will take place at Breckland Crematorium in Norfolk on January 27.

Dr Richard Oakley, Associate Director of Research and Innovation at Alzheimer’s Society, said: ‘To better understand all forms of dementia, not just rarer forms like FTD, we urgently need to see more investment and participation in dementia research.

‘Investment will give us the power to run bigger, more inclusive research trials that will reach more people than ever before.

‘With increased participation we’ll be able to see more clearly the underlying causes of the disease that cause dementia, develop new treatments, and find better diagnostic tools.’
