A Loose Women icon recently took to her Instagram page to announce the release of her new podcast, with its first episode released today (Friday 30 May)

Loose Women star bags major new role days after ITV’s brutal daytime TV cuts

An iconic Loose Women panellist has landed a brand new job just days after ITV announced its shock changes. The popular daytime programme will air for just 30 weeks each year from January, one of several changes ITV is making to “reinvest across the programme budget in other genres.”

It reportedly left some Loose Women stars worried for their future, particularly Coleen Nolan, who a source had said was “shocked and blindsided” at the decision. It also emerged some panelists were “in a state of panic and up in arms” about the bombshell changes that were only recently announced – while Nadia Sawalha broke down in tears and said “I could be let go tomorrow” as she discussed the cuts.

Amid the panic, panellist Judi Love revealed she landed herself a podcasting gig. On Friday morning, the 44-year-old comedian took to her Instagram to reveal the first episode of Our Table.

Fellow Loose Woman panellist Charlene White is joining her for the brand-new show, along with David Gyasi, comedian Michelle de Swarte and actress Deborah Ayorinde.

“Our Table will launch on Friday, the 30th, on YouTube and all major podcast platforms!,” Judi recently posted on social media. “We have an exciting series lined up, featuring incredible guests and engaging conversations. Join us at Our Table!!”

Fans congratulated her on her new venture, as one said: “Well done Judi, an incredible trajectory,” and another posted: “Yesssssssss! Congratulations our Judi.” Nadia Sawalha added: “Truly overwhelmed at how fabulous this show is…”

The guests of the first episode discussed “identity, ambition, and the life experiences that have shaped them” over a Caribbean-inspired meal made by Chef Dom Taylor.

“Honest, moving, and often hilarious, this episode sets the tone for a series that’s all about real people and real talk,” the description explained.

Meanwhile, ITV recently stressed Loose Women plays an important part in its daytime schedule, and told the Mirror that wholesale changes to the panel are unlikely.

The ITV source said: “We are not planning any radical changes to the panel. All of our Loose Women are hugely valued and we celebrate each and every one and the experience and opinions they bring to the show every day.

“Many of our long standing panellists have appeared on the show for the majority of its 25 year run on screens and those stalwart, Loose legends are at the core of the show’s success and hugely popular with the audience. The show remains a big priority within our daytime slate, having secured a BAFTA nomination, launched a podcast and celebrated a milestone anniversary in the last year alone.”

The programme, which first aired in 2000, won a Royal Television Society award earlier this year for its Facing It Together campaign against domestic violence.

Louis Tomlinson has been pictured putting on the PDA with his girlfriend Zara McDermott during a romantic trip in Costa Rica together, in a clear sign their romance is hotting up

Singer Louis Tomlinson has been snapped getting handsy with his girlfriend Zara McDermott as their romance hots up.

The singing sensation, 33, was seen playfully and affectionately grasping and patting 28 year old Zara’s bottom as the pair share a romantic kiss in exclusive pictures and video obtained by the Mirror.

‌

Louis, who was recently snapped passionately kissing Zara, is seen bringing out his playful side as they enjoyed a tropical adventure in Costa Rica. They were seen browsing local spots, as the newly loved-up couple embraced and kissed.

Zara looked radiant in a white strapless top and matching trousers, with a turquoise tie neck bikini under her top – ready for any adventure her romantic trip with Louis might offer. She accessorised her look with a pair of gold hoop earrings and a beige cap to cover her hair, which was tied in an adorable plait.

The former Love Island beauty turned documentary-maker kept her valuables in a designer bag for the outing, which comprised of wicker-style material and leather straps.

Meanwhile, Louis wore a pair of white shorts with a pastel orange top and sunglasses as he gave Zara a smooch, his tatted arm wrapped around Zara’s waist as he cheekily rested his hand on her bottom and gave her a kiss, which was warmly received by Zara as she affectionately put her hand on Louis’ neck.

The loved-up lad looked incredibly relaxed in Zara’s company as he puffed on a cigarette and struck a pose as if he was dancing. Meanwhile, it seemed the pair are enjoying being playful with one another as one photo sees Louis and Zara mucking about together – with him pretending to look serious while placing a hand on Zara’s chest and extending out his arm, a move which received a big grin from smitten reality star Zara, who is seen affectionately holding Louis’ wrist.

The playful moment then saw the pair both descend into wide smiles, with them both grinning from ear to ear as they mucked around with one another.

Later, to add to the already action-packed trip, Louis and Zara were seen hopping on a red ATV quad bike which saw the Bigger Than Me crooner take charge as he steered the vehicle while Zara sat behind him and took in the sights around her.

Earlier this month it was reported Zara flew 5,000 miles to join Louis for a romantic trip while he worked on his upcoming album. It’s been claimed by insiders that Louis splashed thousands for Zara to join him, flying her first class from London to Costa Rica after she attended the TV BAFTAs.

The pair first struck up romance rumours earlier this year as they were photographed on a cosy date in Suffolk in March, just a few weeks after Zara’s split from her long-term boyfriend Sam Thompson, who is now dating Samie Elishi.

Louis and Zara then enjoyed a cosy trip together in Los Angeles, with Zara finally unveiling her romance on Instagram as the pair enjoyed a brunch date together.

Since then, it appears their romance has continued to hot up as Zara is now supporting Louis in Costa Rica. But, she won’t be in the stands of Old Trafford for Soccer Aid as Louis is set to play alongside Zara’s ex Sam for the charity match next month.

After building a loyal following online and appearing on I’m A Celebrity, GK Barry is expanding her media presence with a major national radio debut on BBC Radio 1

GK Barry rejoices as she lands biggest career move yet after I’m A Celeb stint(Image: Mirror)

Grace Keeling, better known as GK Barry, is stepping into a new role this summer—hosting her very own weekend show on BBC Radio 1 throughout July. Known for her rise from TikTok fame and I’m A Celebrity appearances, the 25-year-old influencer will be on air every Saturday and Sunday from 1–4pm starting July 4.

“This is completely different from podcasting,” she told MailOnline. “I’m really excited to be presenting my own show with BBC Radio 1 this summer… I’m always listening to the radio when I travel, so I can’t wait to interact with the listeners and get them involved in all the fun.”

The BBC has teased that GK will be joined by “special guests” throughout her run, offering fans a new side to the digital star. Meanwhile, fellow celebrity Jamie Laing is also returning to the airwaves – this time alongside his wife, Sophie Habboo, who’ll co-host while his usual presenters are on maternity leave.

GK Barry has reached a career milestone

Away from her growing media career, GK has spoken candidly about her childhood in the British Virgin Islands and her difficult transition back to the UK. Born Grace Keeling, she spent her early years in Tortola with her mother Loretta and stepfather Andrew, whom she considers her dad.

“From as young as I can remember, I was in Tortola and I was one of the only white girls,” she shared on the Loose Women podcast. “All the aunties were doing my hair… little cornrows… I never saw anything different about that.”

She described her school life there as racially diverse and inclusive. “There were so many different races… I was friends with everyone. I had an incredible time.”

But the move to Cambridge at age eight was a harsh contrast. “We moved back to a predominantly white, small town, and I had a Caribbean accent,” she said. “Now Jane, I don’t know if you’ve ever gone into a small town with a Caribbean accent and be white, but it’s vicious.”

Struggling to connect with her peers, she recalled, “Most people couldn’t wrap their head around [it at school]… I’m talking about my life and people had no clue what I was on about.”

She also remembered the racism her stepfather endured. “My dad was getting a lot of hate at the time… so it was sort of just like, ‘I don’t really know where we all stand here’.” Host Jane Moore clarified, “This is your stepdad, but he’s your dad,” to which GK agreed.

Spice Girls’ former manager Simon Fuller is reportedly exploring a reunion for the pop group as digital avatars, in a similar fashion to ABBA’s successful hologram show

Talks are underway for the Spice Girls to make a comeback – but not in the usual way. Their former manager, Simon Fuller, is reportedly exploring the possibility of bringing the iconic group back as digital avatars, following the path set by ABBA’s successful hologram residency.

Sources have revealed that Fuller has pitched this cutting-edge concept to the band, envisioning lifelike holograms of Geri Halliwell-Horner, Mel B and Mel C, Emma Bunton, and Victoria Beckham performing their greatest hits. Although Victoria opted out of their 2019 tour, insiders say she’s open to this new approach as long as all the other members are on board. One insider shared: “Simon is eager to pull off one final spectacle with the Spice Girls, and this is his latest brainchild.

“He was the mastermind behind ABBA’s groundbreaking digital shows and believes this strategy would suit the Spice Girls perfectly. Touring again seems doubtful – Victoria, for instance, isn’t likely to return as a full-time member – so this could be their best chance to reunite.”

According to the source, the band responded positively when Simon introduced the idea. “Even Victoria said she’d support it if everyone else agreed. She wouldn’t stand in the way,” they added.

Fuller reportedly sees this venture as a way for the group to generate income effortlessly while also connecting with a brand-new generation of fans. “It’s an incredibly exciting concept, and he’s confident it can be pulled off,” the inside told The Sun.

The concept echoes the pitch Simon made to ABBA nearly a decade ago, though they eventually went with an even more futuristic show. ABBA’s hologram residency in East London has been a huge hit and continues into its third year.

Victoria herself has previously voiced support for a virtual Spice Girls residency. When asked on American television in 2022 about the idea, she responded, “That is a great idea.”

Meanwhile, it was recently reported that Geri had a secret meeting with Simon in Miami, where they discussed plans for a 2026 reunion – marking 30 years since the release of their debut single, “Wannabe.”

Earlier this year, Mel C also hinted at a reunion, saying, “We have to do something special. Obviously, I can’t say too much but we are talking about things. Hopefully a nice little world tour.”

The Mirror has reached out to Simon’s representatives for comment on this story.

Emmerdale have seemingly hinted at what the future holds for Robert Sugden and his former lover Aaron Dingle after a dramatic final visit to the Dales

Is the future bright for Robert and Aaron?(Image: ITV)

Emmerdale have dropped a huge hint about what’s in store for Robert Sugden and Aaron Dingle. It’s been a very dramatic week on Emmerdale, which has all led up to the wedding between Aaron and John Sugden.

John – played by Oliver Farnworth – suffered a string of nightmares in the hours leading up to his and Aaron’s wedding, including him being arrested for Nate Robinson’s murder. He killed Nate months ago and hid his body in the lake.

He then had a vision of his former partner Aidan Moore waking up from his coma and breaking up the wedding. His nightmare made him go and visit Aidan, who had started talking, and quickly he decided he needed to see to the end of Aidan for good.

However, he couldn’t go through with it – and then Aidan suffered a heart attack, putting him back in a coma. It was then for the biggest surprise at all – when Ryan Hawley made his return as Aaron’s former partner Robert Sugden.

Aaron and John finally got married(Image: ITV)

On Wednesday’s episode, Ryan appeared to stop the wedding – but was this one of John’s nightmares? It turns out Robert had made a special request for day release from prison – just to stop Aaron from making the biggest mistake of his life.

Robert begged Aaron to take him back and even though they shared a kiss, it wasn’t enough to convince Aaron to get back with Robert. He vowed he would still marry John and tonight, the wedding went ahead.

John and Aaron seemed happier than ever as they got to say their ‘I do’s’, with their families watching on. Meanwhile, Robert found himself in trouble as he was arrested for breaching the conditions of his licence.

He ended up back in prison, having being shopped to the police by a “concerned citizen” (John), and called Victoria where he said he wouldn’t give up on Aaron, despite the fact he was now married.

Ryan Hawley has returned as Robert Sugden

Aaron headed out of the village with his new husband John in his van as they started their honeymoon. With both deciding not to use their phones, Aaron had got a special CD for them.

As they drove out the village, the others were distracted by news that a body had been found in the lake – and Ruby and everyone were quickly convinced it must be Anthony. Of course, we know that it is Nate’s body in that lake.

Aaron and John stopped just by the village to share one last kiss, just as the music played in the background. As they drove over the bridge, the song lyrics “I know I won’t be leaving here with you” played – is that proof John and Aaron won’t make it through, and that there will be a proper reunion for fan favourites Robron – Robert and Aaron?

Go Compare advert star Wynne Evans has confirmed he has been axed by the BBC following the Strictly Come Dancing scandals – as he shared an emotional statement with fans

BBC breaks silence on Wynne Evans axing with blunt statement after Strictly axe(Image: BBC)

The BBC has confirmed that Wynne Evans will not return to present on BBC Radio Wales after he said, “The BBC has decided not to renew my contract”. Evans, 53, known for the Go.Compare insurance advertisements, revealed in January, he would be taking some time out from both his radio show and the Strictly tour to prioritise his wellbeing.

On Friday, a spokesperson for the BBC said: “Wynne Evans is not under contract with the BBC. He is not returning to the mid-morning show on BBC Radio Wales and there are currently no plans to work with him”. An apology had been issued earlier this year on behalf of Evans over “inappropriate language” used during the Strictly tour launch in January.

Wynne hit the headlines for multiple reasons during his time on the BBC dance show. He was shown grabbing his professional partner Katya’s waist before she pushed his hand away, but he later insisted it was a joke.

He then came under fire for using the term ‘spit roast’ to Janette Manrara during a Strictly photocall, but he later insisted it was directed at Jamie Borthwick and had nothing to do with Janette. As a result of the comment, he was axed from the Strictly tour – and then a video emerged of him sending a sex toy to his co-star Jamie, which both were heavily criticised for.

Now Wynne has revealed he has not had his contract renewed and he will not be back with the BBC for his radio show – and thus has decided to continue to do his radio show away from the BBC.

“My beloved Wynners, From the very depths of my heart – thank you. These past few months, your love has been the light in my darkest days. Every message, every word of encouragement, every moment you stood by me has carried me through more than you could ever know,” he said in an

“It breaks my heart to say the BBC has decided not to renew my contract so I won’t be returning to my radio show. I’m gutted. That show wasn’t just work – it was home. It was us. We laughed, we cried, we sang like nobody was listening. And somehow, through the airwaves, we became a family.”

He continued: “But here’s what I believe with everything I’ve got: what we built cannot end here. So – deep breath — here goes… We’re getting the band back together. The Wynne Evans Show is coming back, live every day from 9am–12pm on a new app, on Alexa and Google (we don’t have to say ‘smart speaker’ anymore!) and at www.wynneevansshow.co.uk.

“This is our next adventure. And I need you more than ever. We will have great music, my question of the day, the mystery voice, your soundtrack stories and so much more, because we have each other again.”

Back in January, Wynne issued a message to say he was taking some time away. He said at the time: “I’ve agreed with the BBC that I’ll take some time out from my radio show and the Strictly Live tour, as well as my other public commitments, to prioritise my wellbeing.

“I am deeply sorry for the pain my inappropriate actions have caused, and plan to take this time for self-reflection. Apologies to those I won’t get to see at the remaining performances and I’m grateful to my fellow tour gang for all the amazing support.”

At the time, Wynne was also grieving the loss of his brother Huw and said he found out about the BBC’s decision to originally suspend him when his BBC pass no longer worked and had been deactivated without warning.

Coronation Street fans saw the arrival of newcomer Noah Hedley in tonight’s episode – and it doesn’t look like his arrival is good news for Todd or Eileen Grimshaw

Noah’s arrival could be bad news for Todd and Eileen (Image: ITV)

Noah Hedley’s Coronation Street entrance may have been overshadowed by the return of Jason Grimshaw tonight, but his presence won’t go unnoticed by the rest of the Grimshaws in later episodes. Spoilers next week reveal that Eileen finds an article in the Gazette which implicates them in an insurance scam following Julie’s death – and in tonight’s episode, it looks like Noah could be the one behind the article.

Tonight, Noah, played by Casualty’s Richard Winsor, made his entrance as he greeted friend Billy Mayhew. However, he wasn’t the only familiar face as Theo Silverton recognised him from conversion therapy.

Before Noah’s arrival, chaos erupted in the Rovers as residents found out about the ongoings with Julie’s body after her death. In front of everyone, Tracy Barlow exclaimed: “Julie decides to take her life early, her eyes are barely closed, and her fella (George) jumps in to embalm the body.”

Noah introduced himself to Theo despite knowing him from conversion therapy (Image: ITV)

Todd then interjected by saying: “Actually, that was me,” as Tracey responded: “Oh that’s it, so you’re splitting the winnings three ways.”

It all became too much for Eileen, who threw prosecco over Tracey. However, eyes were quickly shifted away from the drama when Noah made his grand entrance, causing Theo to have a panic attack as he recalled his conversion therapy. In emotional scenes, Theo was heard telling Todd Noah “prayed” over him in the therapy he was made to attend by his religious parents.

During the episode, the newbie was seen having a chat with Steve McDonald, where he found out that Todd and George tried to embalm Julie before the police could investigate her death. “Is it true they tried to embalm the body after the autopsy?,” Noah asked Steve.

Questions are raised about Todd and George’s behaviour recently

Steve then spilled all, exclaiming: “I’m not one to gossip but I think Eileen did do quite well out of the life insurance so it does look quite dodgy.”

Spoilers for next week reveal someone has gone to the papers about the news – after the chat with Steve and Noah’s confrontation with Todd – could it be him?

In upcoming episodes, Eileen shows George and Jason an article in the Gazette which implicates them in an insurance scam – leaving George concerned. Someone’s behind the article and they’re keen to find out who it was.

Later on Jason suggests to his mother that she moves away with him to Thailand to be his business partner but what will she say?

Conor Maynard has spoken out about the moment he found out he wasn’t the father of The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton’s baby

Conor Maynard has spoken out after discovering that he was not the father of The Traitors star Charlotte Chilton’s baby.

In his first TV interview during Friday’s This Morning, the singer spoke out about the moment he received the results of the paternity test.

In October, Traitors star Charlotte Chilton gave birth to her first child, Penelope. In November, the first-time mum, who had publicly claimed Conor as daughter Penelope’s father, and alleged he was not involved with the baby.

Connor Maynard has spoken out on This Morning

However after months of drama, back in March, Conor put out a statement to say he had taken a paternity test and was not the father. He wrote at the time: “Earlier this week, I took a paternity test regarding Charlotte Chilton’s baby girl, Penelope, in the presence of her legal representative. Today I’ve received the test results which confirm that I am not Penelope’s father.

“I am glad that the speculation can finally be put to an end. All I would ask is that people act with kindness in response to this news – there is a child at the heart of all of this and that should not be forgotten. I wish Charlotte and her family all the best. Conor.”

Now, Conor, who had previously spoke out about his struggles with anxiety at the time, told hosts Paddy McGuinness and Alison Hammond about the struggles he faced during “the worst year” of his life.

“The last year has been really difficult, and mental health has been something I’ve struggled with for a big portion of my life,” he began. “This most recent year has definitely been up there in terms of my experience and battle with it.

Charlotte gave birth in October (Image: Instagram/charlchilts)

“A lot of things have contributed to why things have been so difficult,” the star continued.

Paddy then went on to ask Conor how he felt when he found out he wasn’t the father, but “funnily enough it wasn’t an instant relief,” he told the hosts.

“I actually felt like I was going to have a massive panic attack the second I found out,” Conor admitted. “That’s the difficult truth about mental health. When something traumatic happens to you, the second that traumatic event stops you don’t think, ‘Oh I’m fine now.’ It doesn’t work out like that.”

Although Conor’s friends wanted to go out for a drink that night, the star admitted he didn’t feel up to it, and opted to stay in with his girlfriend instead.

Summing up his emotions, Conor continued: “It was confusion, and feeling like, ‘Why did that have to happen?’”

Concluding, the singer said: “When the result came in, it was unbelievable, but it wasn’t instant relief. It took a lot of time to process and really understand.”

This Morning reached out to Charlotte’s representative to offer them a right of reply, however, they declined to comment at this time.

The Prince of Wales inherited the role of Duke of Cornwall when his father became King in 2022 and hopes to transform the ancient Duchy of Cornwall estate into a force for social change

Prince William has set out his vision to transform the 700-year-old Duchy of Cornwall into a force for social change. The Prince, who inherited the role of Duke of Cornwall when his father became King in 2022, wants to use the ancient estate “to make people’s lives better.” On a recent visit to Duchy farmland on Dartmoor, William, 42, vowed: “We’re not the traditional landowner – we want to be more than that.” The estate – spanning 128,494 acres from rural Devon to inner-city London – was originally set up to generate private income for the royal family. But William is determined to re-write the rule book, instead using his title to push for “social change.”

He added: “The Duchy has been a positive force for good, but we can do so much more. I think the key thing is, it’s about not losing the important community and historical links of the Duchy. But it’s also about making sure we’re building on and enhancing, modernising the Duchy. We’re going to modernise it without losing its key spirit of community.” The Prince’s priorities range from restoring rivers to ending homelessness, supporting the mental health of farmers and arranging get-togethers to combat rural loneliness. He has even launched a new strap-line: “Positive impact for people, places and planet.” Unlike previous generations, William has a more hands-on approach and visits part of the estate once every four to six weeks. His trips are usually private and kept quiet by loyal locals who are used to royal comings and goings.

In keeping with a more modern approach, rural director of the Duchy, Matthew Morris, revealed how employees “no longer feel the need to put on a tie when the Duke of Cornwall is in town.” And William shared how he communicates with the estate’s more than 150 staff via WhatsApp and asks questions over social media to keep in the loop.

When the Prince becomes King, the Duchy of Cornwall title will pass to his eldest son Prince George. The estate was established by Edward III in 1337 to generate private income for his then seven-year-old heir and takes in 20 counties across England. Despite being called the Duchy of Cornwall, its largest landholdings are actually in Devon.

William shared his vision after the property and land empire, as well as the King’s estate, the Duchy of Lancaster, were investigated by a Channel 4 Dispatches documentary: The King, The Prince & Their Secret Millions. In the 2024 programme, it was revealed how the the Duchy of Cornwall is profiting from public services.

In 2017, it billed Devon county council £300,000 in a 21-year rental deal for a primary school on Dartmoor. Other deals include charging a primary school near Bath £60,000 for a 25-year lease and £189,000 to a secondary school in Cornwall over 30 years to use a farmhouse.

The Duchy of Cornwall said it is “a private estate with a commercial imperative… committed to restoring the natural environment.” The Duchy of Lancaster said it “operates as a commercial company” and “complies with all relevant UK legislation.”

Cruz Beckham took to social media to share a cryptic post about ‘telling the truth’ amid a huge family fallout with Brooklyn Beckham

Cruz Beckham begs ‘tell the truth’ in cryptic Instagram post amid family feud(Image: Getty Images)

Cruz Beckham posted a cryptic post about “telling the truth” amid his family’s feud with older brother Brooklyn Beckham and his wife Nicola Peltz. The couple have been the topic of conversation for several months after fans noticed them snub both Victoria and David’s recent birthdays.

They failed to show up to any of David’s many 50th birthday celebrations, including his family trip to Paris, family dinner in the Cotswolds and celebrity party in Notting Hill. Brooklyn added fuel to the fire when he seemingly showcased his stance by posting “I’ll always choose you” in a tribute to his socialite wife.

Amid the family drama, Cruz took to his Instagram Stories to share a cryptic post. Using a picture of the top of his hair as the background, he wrote: ”

“It takes 43 muscles in your face to frown, and 17 to smile. Be kind and tell the truth,” he wrote. It comes only a few days after Cruz broke his social media silence to defend his family.

Amid the ongoing family feud, Brooklyn stunned fans as he declared publicly he is ‘choosing’ wife Nicola Peltz in a gushing tribute to the Bates Motel actress.

The message stunned fans with many calling for Brooklyn and his billionaire heiress wife to ‘grow up.’ Brooklyn was warned about cutting ties with his once close knit family as he appeared to shatter for good the once impenetrable bond.

Cruz appeared furious as he took to Instagram and seemed to make a dig at his big brother’s antics.

He shared: “I love my family, I love you guys more than anything, mum & dad you gave us life and cared for us no matter what, I cannot tell you how blessed we all are to have you in our lives x.”

The picture Cruz shared alongside the post did include Brooklyn as he appeared to extend an olive branch to the wannabe chef who has distanced himself from his family in recent months.

Brooklyn had previously shared a clip of him driving wife Nicola on his motorbike through California where they now live.

Nicola put her arms round Brooklyn and held tightly on as he sped around the palm tree lined streets.

Captioning the short video, he wrote: “My whole world x I will love you forever x I always choose you baby x you’re the most amazing person i know xx me and you forever baby.”
