Cruz Beckham has publicly shown support for his mother, Victoria Beckham, amid ongoing rumours of a rift between the Beckham family and his older brother, Brooklyn, and sister-in-law, Nicola Peltz

Cruz Beckham is standing firmly by his mother, Victoria Beckham, amid renewed whispers of family tension – specifically surrounding his older brother, Brooklyn Beckham.

Victoria, 51, recently hosted an exclusive launch event in London for Isabel Rutman’s new jewellery line. Joining her were Cruz, 20, and his girlfriend, Jackie Apostel.

Victoria looked effortlessly chic in a black lace skirt, coordinating top, and a sharp oversized blazer. Jackie, 29, opted for a laid-back double-denim outfit, while Cruz showed off a relaxed style in loose jeans paired with a Dior button-down shirt.

The event – and Cruz’s presence – has drawn fresh attention due to swirling rumours of ongoing strain between the Beckhams and Brooklyn, the eldest son, as well as his wife, Nicola Peltz. While tensions reportedly began during the couple’s wedding preparations, and appeared to settle for a time, signs of distance have re-emerged in recent months.

Brooklyn and Nicola have been consistently absent from several key family gatherings. Notably, they skipped Victoria’s Paris Fashion Week show, a major moment in her fashion career.

They were also missing from both David and Victoria’s birthday celebrations. Adding further fuel to the fire, Brooklyn failed to publicly acknowledge his father on Father’s Day and stayed silent when David received his knighthood – two occasions where the rest of the family showed their support.

The situation has only been heightened by cryptic activity online. One notable moment occurred on TikTok, where Cruz fired back at a commenter who seemed to question his career path.

“Are you going to stick with this job or going to become a race car driver next or something?” the user asked.

But Cruz didn’t hold back, responding: “Wrong brother mate,” a pointed jab at Brooklyn’s famously shifting career pursuits, which have ranged from photography to cooking to aspiring to be a footballer.

While family dynamics appear increasingly strained, Brooklyn and Nicola continue to project an image of unity and luxury.

The pair are often seen travelling, attending high-end events, and posting affectionate photos on social media.

Most recently, Brooklyn marked a milestone in their relationship by sharing a sweet message on Instagram for the anniversary of his proposal.

“It’s been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me,” he captioned a photo of Nicola kissing him on the cheek. “Best decision ever x I love you so much.”

The business mogul announced that she would not be part of the BBC show’s next series earlier this month.

Sara Davies has admitted she was “getting to a breaking point” as she revealed the reason she finally decided to quit Dragons’ Den.

The businesswoman, 40, announced that she would be quitting the BBC show on March 7 in a statement on Instagram, revealing that her business was her big priority this year.

“That’s why I’ve taken the decision to step away from the Den for now, to focus on my own business, which was my first baby,” she said at the time. “So I won’t be filming with the team this year for the next series.”

Many fans were devastated by the news, announcing that Sara was their favourite Dragon and the show would not be the same without her. However, they congratulated her on making strides with her business and wished her well in her new endeavours.

The business mogul was welcomed onto Loose Women today to talk about her future away from Dragon’s Den, and ended up providing a little more insight into why she felt it was the right time for her to leave the show behind.

Sara explained that there is a lot more work that goes into being a Dragon behind the scenes than fans realise, and she did not feel able to prioritise that anymore.

She added : “If it’s not actually the filming, it’s that there’s up to a dozen new businesses – they have me on Whatsapp, then they want me to come to board meetings. I want to do it. The problem is, I can’t half do something.

“I’m either in or I’m not in. When I’m in I want to be a big part of their life and a big part of their business. I knew it just wasn’t feasible this year – it was getting to a breaking point.”

Now Sara is looking forward to focusing on the crafting company she launched in 2005 – which sells sewing products, art supplies, and craft storage items to an international market.

On top of that, Sara has been busy promoting her new book, The 6 Minute Entrepreneur. She did a book tour ahead of its launch on Thursday, March 13, and has responded warmly to the positive reviews she received from readers

It has been rumoured that The Apprentice star Karren Brady might step into Sara’s shoes once she is gone, as Card Player have named her the favourite to become the businesswoman’s replacement.

Viewers who are dreading watching Dragon’s Den without Sara do not need to worry just yet, as she has already filmed the second half of this year’s season of the show, and promised loyal audiences they will be able to see her on screen once more.

George Clooney was leading the way as celebrities arrived at this year’s King’s Trust Awards. The annual event at Buckingham Palace saw the glitz of Hollywood mix with British Royalty as inspiring young achievers are celebrated.

George, 64, was joined by his wife Amal Clooney, 47, as they made a surprise appearance. They looked just the part as smooth George rocked up wearing navy suit with a crisp white unbuttoned shirt. His wife smiled as she opted for a chic white pencil dress and clutch bag.

Also in attendance was makeup mogul Joanna Lumley who posed in a dark blue outfit paired with a cream scarf. Celebs Go Dating expert Anna Williamson brought the colour to the event in a stunning floral red and white short dress with floated sleeves.

EastEnders will be waving goodbye to Anna Knight with actress Molly Rainford confirmed to be leaving the BBC soap after two years amid a string of other exits from the show

Another EastEnders exit is on the way, with one star leaving the BBC soap after two years.

Anna Knight will leave Walford, as actress Molly Rainford is confirmed to be leaving the soap later this year. A BBC spokesperson confirmed the news to The Mirror, while it’s not known when the star’s final scenes will air exactly.

According to a source it was a mutual decision between actress Molly and soap bosses, following new Executive Producer Ben Wadey taking over the soap. It’s claimed Molly is ready for new ventures, while details on Anna’s exit remain under wraps for now.

The BBC told us on Thursday: “We can confirm that Molly Rainford will be leaving EastEnders later this year, and we wish her all the best for the future.” Anna’s biggest storylines have included her being spiked, being revealed as Cindy Beale’s daughter, and her love triangle with Bobby Beale and Freddie Slater.

A source confirmed the decision behind the exit, and said to The Sun: “New boss Ben Wadey is making sweeping changes on the show and his decision coincided with Mollie deciding she wanted to pursue other challenges.”

They added: “New boss Ben Wadey is making sweeping changes on the show and his decision coincided with Molly deciding she wanted to pursue other challenges.

“She’s hugely talented and wants to spread her wings and see what else is out there for her.” Molly’s character Anna arrived in 2023 as part of the Knight family, with dad George, sister Gina and stepmother Elaine Peacock. They took over The Queen Vic, and soon it was revealed Anna was Cindy’s secret daughter.

Anna’s love interest Freddie, played by Bobby Brazier, is also leaving the show but it’s not clear if the characters will depart together. Also leaving are cousins Bernadette Taylor and Felix Baker, played by Clair Norris and Matthew James Morrison.

As for Molly, an insider added: “Molly came into the show two years ago, and in that time has been trusted with some great storylines.

Clair’s exit was also reported by the same publication(Image: CREDIT LINE:BBC/Jack Barnes/Kieron McCarron)

“It’s just so happened that when Molly was considering other options in her career, a meeting was held to discuss the future of the character, and both parties were in mutual agreement that it was the right time for Anna Knight to wave goodbye to Walford.”

Clair’s exit was also reported by the same publication. A source recently told The Sun: “Every time a soap gets a new boss they want to make their own changes – it’s nothing personal. The writing has been on the wall for Bernie for some time so it wasn’t really a surprise to Clair.”

“She was the last Taylor standing and it’s time to close the chapter on them and let Clair go on to do other things.” While another insider told the publication that “characters have to leave for new stories to begin” but that Clair will be missed.

Emmerdale is about to introduce two new faces to the ITV soap with Ray confirmed as a dangerous villain, while farmer Celia could also feature in dramatic scenes

We have two new faces joining Emmerdale next week, and the potential for both is huge(Image: ITV)

We have two new faces joining Emmerdale next week, and the potential for both is huge.

Not only will the ITV soap be welcoming some brilliant new cast members and TV favourites, but the characters themselves are almost blank canvases. Just minimal details have been revealed so far about new villain Ray and possible second villain Celia, a farmer no doubt set to be a rival to Moira Dingle.

Poor Moira could be caught up in both storylines and the drama that follows the new arrivals in the village. Ray will be played by Joe Absolom, whose top credentials include EastEnders, Doc Martin, The Bay and more recently Code Of Silence.

As for Celia, the mystery farmer is portrayed by Casualty and The Bill favourite Jaye Griffiths. It’s safe to say the castings of both TV stars have created a buzz on set, with stars thrilled to be working alongside them.

Fans have been equally excited to see what the two new cast additions will bring to the village, praising both of them and eager to find out what their characters will get up to. The jury is out for now on whether Celia will be a baddie or not, with so much more to be revealed about the newcomer – while Ray appears to be very much confirmed as the latest village bad guy.

What we can reveal for now is that Celia’s entrance next week leaves one life on the line, while there’s possible drama in the works for her and Moira. Vet Paddy Kirk spots a sheep trapped in the fence of Celia’s land and goes to help it, only to be attacked by a dog.

The brutal attack leaves him in a life-threatening condition and he’s soon rushed to hospital. When Paddy is later advised to confront the farmer it doesn’t end well, and soon Paddy is left furious with Celia no doubt causing havoc.

At some point we’ll see Moira and Celia come face-to-face too amid Moira’s troubles on the farm, which are set to continue. Actress Natalie J Robb recently told The Mirror in an exclusive interview that Celia and Moira “will be rivals” as she hinted at some big drama there.

Bringing the show back to the farming roots, we could well see some classic soap feuding going on – or perhaps the pair might even unite. Expect tension and possible clashes though, as Celia will be keen on the land surrounding Moira’s farm amid her financial woes.

It’s said the newcomer “clearly means business” and will go to whatever lengths to get her own way, while she no doubt has a past with so much mystery surrounding her when she arrives. Sooner rather than later Celia’s intentions will be clear.

Celia could also feature in dramatic scenes(Image: ITV)

Soap producer Laura Shaw recently shared: “While Celia has a tough edge with an air of respectability, the audience, and our villagers, will soon start to see what this woman is truly capable of.” It’s one of her guard dogs that attacks Paddy too, and her reaction to the incident will show her “true colours”.

It’s been a while since we had a character like Celia on the show, and not just a standard villain but someone who causes chaos, upheaval while also harbouring secrets of their own. A proper rivalry, and someone to give Moira a reason to fight back, is just what we need and hopefully Celia will bring all the carnage.

As for Ray, fans will no doubt be fearing “another villain” and “another dark character” isn’t what the show needs, amid complaints over dark storylines in soaps. But if Ray is anything like what cast members have described, we are certainly in for some huge scenes ahead, and possibly one of the best villainous villagers we’ve had for a long time.

Joe’s performance has been described as “scary” and “menacing”, with Mike Parr teasing the stuff so far is “really good”. Fans will obviously make their own minds up on the character, but with him set to unsettle the lives of more than one resident, and possibly trigger the return of a character confirmed to be heading back to the show, it is all to play for.

Ray will be played by Joe Absolom(Image: ITV)

There will be a dangerous outsider in the village in Ray, with it said some of fans’ most loved characters will face danger along the way. We already know that Mackenzie Boyd and Aaron Dingle feature in massive episodes this September, with “life-changing” twists ahead, so could this involve Ray?

We also know that some of the teens will be dragged into his drug dealing world, so Ray’s actions are set to no doubt impact the entire village. He’s capable of anything, so we’re willing to assume a villager or two, maybe more, will want him out of the way, and may find themselves up against him.

Expect angst, danger, twists and turns and tense scenes. To have two troubling characters with so much to be revealed arrive at the same time, and amid all the recent twists including John Sugden turning killer, Robert Sugden’s return and Joe Tate’s whodunnit and the rest, it’s an epic time to be tuning into the soap, with it no doubt set to get stronger and more gripping as the weeks and months go on.

Actress Amanda Abbington was full of smiles as she stepped out of a theatre on her show’s preview night amid rumours she is set to join the Loose Women panel

Amanda Abbington had a huge smile on her face as she headed to work after eyeing up her next career move. The actress was spotted leaving the Kings Head Theatre in London, where she is starring in This is not a Happy Room.

Despite the title of her latest play, Amanda could not have been happier as she stepped out in Islington. She left the theatre following her first preview night. Her happiness could also mark a sign she has got the next gig she set her sights on.

The 51-year-old revealed she would love to join Loose Women after enduring what she described as “one of the hardest years of my life”. She became embroiled in the major Strictly Come Dancing bullying row after being partnered with the show’s now axed pro Giovanni Pernice for the 2023 series.

Since withdrawing from the competition early citing “personal reasons”, and later making a formal complaint about the “toxic environment” she experienced, Amanda has been largely absent from mainstream TV.

However, it could all change if she joins the ITV daytime show. When asked if she’d consider joining the likes of Coleen Nolan and Charlene White on the daily panel show, mum-of-two Amanda reportedly said: “Yes, totally.

“It’s nice to have women’s views on things, and I think as long as we don’t paint ourselves as miserable old hags. I think women of a certain age tend to get painted as miserable and moaning and complaining, and I think it would be good to get up there and have fun. They’re great women, and I know a few of them, like Denise [Welch], I love her.”

She had a huge smile on her face(Image: JAMES CURLEY AND MAGICMOMENTSUK)

According to The Sun, the London-born actress very much sees her career and life here in the UK, and would rule out a move Stateside.

She is attempting to brush off the Strictly scandal that has plagued her since she left the show in 2023. Amanda accused her Strictly Come Dancing partner Giovanni Pernice of being “unnecessary, abusive, cruel and mean” – but last week insisted her complaints were “never personal”.

Her complaints saw the BBC launch an investigation and the corporation ended up apologising to Amanda after upholding some of her less serious claims against Giovanni , who has since quit the show. The apology included reference to Giovanni’s use of swear words and belittling language towards the mum-of-two.

Giovanni, 34, left Strictly after Amanda’s complaints, but always insisted his innocence. He said he was “relieved” the ordeal was over and claimed he only wanted to get the best out of the actress on the dancefloor. The Sherlock actress had claimed she was subjected to a “toxic environment” and “inappropriate, mean, nasty bullying” behaviour during her time on the 2023 series.

Despite her claims against the Italian star, Amanda has now insisted they were “never personal” and praised his talent. The surprise move saw her reflect on the scandal and share her hopes for the future of Strictly, admitting it is a “great” show. Amanda said she hopes the programme is “a happier place” and “now a good environment” following the investigation.

She told the Sun: “It was something that I never really wanted to do in terms of pursuing a complaint, but it was never personal. It was all about a healthy working environment, that’s what it was. I’m friends with a few of the dancers, so I still see a lot of the professional dancers, and we’re still in touch.”

She commented on the conclusion of the BBC’s investigation into the claims last year as Amanda said: “As the BBC has indicated today in its statement, my decision to come forward and complain about Giovanni Pernice’s conduct towards me was not an easy thing to do.

“In the days, weeks and months since I contacted the BBC, I’ve been accused of being a liar, a troublemaker and of being ‘mad and unstable’. I’ve also received rape and murder threats and a bomb threat was sent to my place of work.”

She added: “My family and children have also been subjected to threats and intimidation. Despite this vile abuse, I’ve never regretted coming forward, and today’s apology from the BBC is a vindication of my complaint.”

Amanda has continued to brand her time on the show and the aftermath, the hardest years of her life. She appeared on This Morning earlier in the week where she got emotional as she said: “It’s been tricky. I don’t want to go over old ground. I don’t regret what happened. It’s time to move on – it was one of the hardest years of my life.”

Prince Harry is said to have had difficulty procuring British passports for his two children – Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet – allegedly due to his desire for the documents to use their royal titles

Charles’ fallout with Harry is widely known(Image: Getty Images)

Prince Harry came into difficulty when trying to get British passports for his two children, Prince Archie, six, and Princess Lilibet, four, it has been claimed – but the saga is said to have left royal insiders bewildered.

The Duke of Sussex allegedly faced delays when it came to procuring the official documentation for his children, in part due to his desire to use their royal titles in the passports.

According to a report by The Guardian, Harry and his wife Meghan were told that the passports had been delayed for their kids due to technical issues, so they re-applied through the 24-hour service that is available – only for the required meeting to be cancelled.

The couple are said to have sent a legal letter that threatened to seek the data surrounding the issues – and the passports were finally issued just days later, six months after the process began. A standard passport application usually takes around three weeks in the UK.

During the long process, Harry was reportedly so frustrated he even considered applying for the passports under his mother, the late Princess Diana’s, family name of Spencer.

Archie already had a British passport under the name of Mountbatten-Windsor, but the new document would have used the name Sussex, along with his royal title of prince and the styling ‘HRH’.

This was a point of contention, a source close to the Sussex family claimed, as “the King hadn’t wanted Archie and Lili to carry the titles, most of all the HRH, and the British passports, once created, would be the first and perhaps the only legal proof of their names.”

Buckingham Palace strongly denied that the King or palace aides had anything to do with the delays in issuing their passports, The Telegraph reports.

It was also reported that Harry is keen for the children to have the ‘Royal Highness’ styling so when they are older they can decide if they would like to be working members of the Royal Family themselves – or stay out of the spotlight.

However, this claim is said to have left insiders confused, with “bemusement in royal circles” about the idea.

Harry and Meghan dropped the HRH styling in 2020 when they stepped back as working royals as it was decided the couple would make a full break from the monarchy.

In a report marking Prince William’s 43rd birthday, the Sunday Times claimed, “Under the next reign, roles for Archie and Lili as working royals are unlikely.”

Nick Robinson and Emma Barnett are reportedly feuding(Image: BBC)

As BBC Radio 4 Today presenters Nick Robinson and Emma Barnett are rumoured to be locked in a feud, The Mirror takes a look at other famous co-host clashes where on-screen friendships are masked behind-the-scenes tensions.

According to reports, Nick and Emma, who have only hosted 13 shows together in total, are locked in a bitter feud as they go 90 days without presenting their flagship show the Today programme.

Insiders claim tensions have brewed over their contrasting presenting styles – Nick’s stricter, blunter approach reportedly clashing with Emma’s different tone. Though BBC bosses have attempted to brush off the rumours, listeners have picked up on the palpable awkwardness whenever the two do appear together.

But they wouldn’t be the first co-hosts to be enlocked in an alleged feud. Here’s a rundown of other celebrity pairs who couldn’t keep it together behind the scenes.

Eamonn Holmes and Anthea Turner

The GMTV dream team of the 90s was anything but harmonious. Eamonn reportedly dubbed Anthea “Princess Tippy Toes,” mocking her supposed prima donna attitude.

The tension between the pair escalated over time, with Eamonn allegedly resenting Anthea’s perceived favouritism from producers. According to insiders, Eamonn eventually gave bosses an ultimatum: it was either him or her.

Anthea ultimately left the role, and the bitterness between the former colleagues has been referenced by Eamonn in interviews years later.

Johnny Vaughn and Denise Van Outen

Their partnership on Capital FM was rocky, to say the least. Johnny was said to turn Denise’s microphone down during broadcasts, apparently to control the dynamic of their show.

The pair had once enjoyed a successful stint together on The Big Breakfast, but when they tried to recreate the chemistry on a radio show years later, it quickly fell apart.

Denise later described the experience as “toxic,” with tensions off-air undermining their professional rapport.

Anne Robinson and Rachel Riley

Anne Robinson was said to have an issue with Rachel Riley’s ‘chatty’ tone

Countdown’s Anne Robinson allegedly grew frustrated with Rachel’s friendly interactions with the audience. Reports suggest Anne believed Rachel’s approach was too chatty and informal for the show’s traditional tone.

Their working relationship reportedly deteriorated to the point where Anne made it clear she preferred minimal conversation between segments. The atmosphere grew so strained that fans began to notice the coldness between the two during episodes.

Gary Barlow and Tulisa

Their stint on The X Factor saw a fiery exchange when the Take That singer publicly criticised Tulisa’s “cigarette breath” during live shows.

Tulisa retaliated by pointing out Gary’s “red wine” stench, making for uncomfortable viewing. Off-camera, tensions were reportedly even worse, with Tulisa feeling undermined by Gary’s veteran status on the judging panel.

When Tulisa eventually quit, Gary expressed relief, describing her departure as a “fresh start” for the show.

Sharon Osbourne and Dannii Minogue

The tension between these two X Factor judges was legendary. Sharon allegedly harboured resentment toward Dannii over her rumoured romantic involvement with Simon Cowell, believing the relationship gave her an unfair advantage.

Sharon’s frustration reportedly grew into outright disdain, with snide comments and frosty interactions playing out on and off the camera. Even years later, Sharon has made no secret of her dislike for Dannii.

Coleen Nolan and Kim Woodburn

Coleen and Kim had a fiery exchange on Loose Women(Image: ITV)

The two famously came to blows during Celebrity Big Brother in 2017, only for tensions to reignite on Loose Women in a fiery exchange that Coleen later admitted nearly ended her career.

Kim accused Coleen of bullying her during their time in the CBB house, with Kim breaking down over unresolved trauma from her childhood.

Coleen, meanwhile, insisted she was only defending herself against Kim’s aggressive outbursts. Their explosive clash remains one of the most dramatic moments in Loose Women history.

James Jordan and Craig Revel Horwood

Craig Revel Horwood had some disagreements with James on Strictly

Strictly Come Dancing’s fiery James Jordan and notoriously harsh judge Craig Revel Horwood were embroiled in a years-long feud. The tension began with harsh criticisms from Craig about James’s dance routines, which James viewed as unfair and personal.

Matters escalated when James and his wife Ola publicly called for Craig to be sacked, prompting Craig to accuse James of plotting to steal his job. The feud simmered for years before James’s eventual dismissal from the show.

Piers Morgan and Alex Beresford

Piers Morgan ultimately resigned over the disagreement(Image: ITV)

Good Morning Britain viewers were left stunned when Piers stormed off the set after clashing with Beresford over Meghan Markle. The argument, which centred on Morgan’s relentless criticism of the Duchess of Sussex, became one of the most talked-about moments in daytime TV history.

Alex later admitted he found Piers’ behaviour “pathetic” and “childish.” The incident ultimately led to Piers’ resignation from the show.

Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield

Speculation has swirled for years over whether the golden pair of daytime TV truly get along off-screen. Despite their polished appearances on This Morning, whispers of rivalry and rifts persist.

Sources have claimed that while Holly and Phil present a united front for the cameras, their personal relationship is much more strained following his removal from the show.

Emmerdale fans have been left wondering what’s wrong with Bear on the ITV soap after strange behaviour, forgetfulness and some possible symptoms amid a diagnosis

Emmerdale fans have been left wondering what’s wrong with Bear on the ITV soap(Image: ITV)

There was more concern for Emmerdale’s Bear on Thursday night amid a possible diagnosis.

His recent symptoms and some new comments on the ITV soap left his son Paddy Kirk worried, while viewers were also concerned there was something wrong with him. We know there’s a huge plot coming for the character amid a vanishing twist, and it’s thought at some point there will be a diagnosis, or at least a confirmation of what is going on with him.

Whether it’s with his mental or physical health or both remains to be seen, but on Thursday night Paddy was left wanting to take action after another incident. Paddy returned home to find his daughter Eve not in school, and playing with her grandfather who was meant to have dropped her off two hours earlier.

As Paddy quizzed Bear about it he claimed to have no recollection of a discussion that Eve had school that day, and needed to be taken there. Instead, Bear claimed he was under the impression she was at home for the day and he was looking after her.

Bear insisted there had been to mention of him being the one to drop her off with Paddy clearly stunned. He then opened up to Gabby Thomas about his fears it could be dementia, after Gabby’s father Ashley Thomas’ battle with vascular dementia, with him dying in 2017.

Gabby urged him not to jump to conclusions, but to speak to Bear and get him checked over as soon as possible. Paddy mentioned Bear’s recent mood swings, him being grumpy and forgetting things, adding he initially thought his dad was depressed but now feared what it might be.

As Gabby recalled how her dad was before his diagnosis, she told him not to hold off getting Bear an appointment. Later in the episode Paddy tried to talk to his dad but he was having none of it.

He put everything down to him being “old”, complaining of “frequent visits” to the toilet and adding his recent confusion and forgetfulness was also an age thing. Some of his other “symptoms” have seen Bear lashing out verbally and physically, and sometimes he’s in a rage only to be calm moments later, as if nothing has happened.

He was insistent there was nothing wrong with him and downplayed any idea it could be something he needed treatment for. When he stepped away, Gabby encouraged Paddy to use tests online to see if Bear could have dementia, even if he did it without Bear knowing.

Viewers watching recently and seeing the latest issues feared what could be wrong with Bear, ahead of him vanishing. Some fans wondered if it could be brain related, perhaps a tumour or even damage from his wrestling days.

Other fans were sure it could be dementia, while another diagnosis suggested was something linked to his prostate, either cancer or issues. A further suggestion was that it was the sleeping pills he’d been prescribed, with fears he was having a reaction to them, with a final suggestion being diabetes.

Emmerdale airs weeknights at 7:30pm on ITV1 and ITVX, with an hour-long episode on Thursdays. * Follow Mirror Celebs and TV on TikTok , Snapchat , Instagram , Twitter , Facebook , YouTube and Threads .

Ruth Langsford revealed that her mum Joan wasn’t able to celebrate Mother’s Day yesterday, and gave an update on Joan’s health after her horror fall and Alzheimer’s diagnosis

Ruth Langsford has shared a worrying message about her beloved mum. The former This Morning star admitted she was having a very different Mother’s Day in an emotional Instagram post, and updated fans about her mum’s health today.

Alongside staying busy with her ITV work, Ruth, 65, also cares for her 94-year-old mum Joan at home – where the duo with Ruth’s dog Maggie after her split from Eamonn Holmes last year.

On Mother’s Day, Ruth shared a clip of Joan dancing in the kitchen, but revealed that it was a throwback video while in reality her mum was struggling with a health issue and wasn’t up to celebrate the big day.

“HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY to all you wonderful mums out there but especially to my amazing Mum Joan. I’m sharing an old video because unfortunately Mum’s not well… she’s got a nasty chest infection so she’s not up to celebrating today,” she wrote in her caption.

“Maggie and I are with her though and giving her lots of TLC. I’m sure she’ll be back peeling the veg, dancing and drinking sherry in my kitchen very soon. Hope you’re all having a lovely day with your Mum if you’re fortunate, like me, to have her.”

Many of Ruth’s famous friends sent love her way, with Vanessa Feltz writing: “Happiest of days to you and your gorgeous mum.”

Josie Gibson left a string of heart emojis under the post, while Kate Thornton penned: “Wishing her better and Happy Mother’s Day.”

Today, Loose Women star Ruth shared an update on her Stories, capturing a quick clip of Joan sitting on the sofa and stroking Maggie, who sat closely beside her. “Nurse Maggie,” Ruth wrote. She added: “Mum still not well but she says thank you for all your lovely messages!”

Joan’s chest infection comes after she was rushed to hospital with a broken pelvis after a fall, and wasn’t able to join Ruth for Christmas.

She was able to head back home in January, but still needs plenty of love and care due to her Alzheimer’s. While Joan is living with the condition, Ruth also lost her father, Dennis, to dementia in 2012.

Ruth admitted that she struggles with crippling fears for her own health, worrying that she too might also be diagnosed with the condition.

“I’m a bit ‘head in the sand’ about Alzheimer’s. Both my parents have had it, I know what it entails and it horrifies me,” she said in Woman & Home‘s March edition.

“There’s a test you can do to see if you’re more likely to get it, but, because there’s no medication to treat it, I’d rather not know. When I have senior moments, as people call them, I panic. Then I let it go, because I can’t bear to think about that.”
