Caroline has now recalled how she broke down on the way home from dropping George off to his mum in Birmingham. She said: “I was crying all the way home,’ she told me. ‘I got home and told Mark that for the first time in my life, I felt I didn’t want to live.

The Mirror has contacted Adam’s representatives for comment.

Caroline also insisted that Adam “won’t back down”, which she said coincides with his incredible sportsmanship. She told the Mail: “Adam will not back down, nor will Holly. Adam rarely says sorry, he has a very black and white view.”

Caroline was allegedly informed whilst she had his son George that she was no longer welcome at Adam and Holly’s Christmas wedding. According to her sister Louise, this is when she got the news.

Louise claimed her sister had to mask her “hurt and betrayal” in front of her grandchild, calling the situation “sticking the knife in and twisting it”.

Westminster Council has reportedly banned any filming at an iconic Beatles landmark. The legendary rockband, which was made up of John Lennon, Ringo Starrr George Harrison and Paul McCartney, will be the focus of an upcoming biopic and Sam Mendes had hoped to recreate a famous shot in the film.

The cover of the band’s 1969 album, Abbey Road, sees the band strolling across in a line and it has become an integral image within the history of the Penny Lane hitmakers, but the council in that area of North West London are said to have rejected a request to shoot there.

An insider told The Sun: “It’s believed they turned down the request on the basis that they’d have to shut down the road for filming to take place safely. The trouble is that the huge number of tourists who visit the area often cause disruption by having their picture taken recreating the scene.

“That would be magnified by having dozens of cast and crew present to do the same thing for the movie. Now the producers are facing the prospect of omitting the scene as they really don’t want to rely on CGI because that would not look authentic.

“The hope is that they kind a road that looks similar enough that they can still make it happen in some form.”

The Mirror has contacted Westminster Council for comment.

Paul Mescal will play Sir Paul McCartney while fellow Irish actor Barry Keoghan takes on the role of Sir Ringo Starr in the multi-part films, which will be released in 2028. Sony Pictures announced there will be four films, with an April 2028 release date, directed by British filmmaker Sir Sam Mendes.

Also revealed in the cast are Babygirl star and British actor Harris Dickinson, who will play John Lennon, while Mescal’s Gladiator II co-star Joseph Quinn portrays George Harrison. Speaking at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas on Monday, which the cast also attended, Sir Sam called the films the “first binge-able theatrical experience”. “I’ve been trying to make a story about The Beatles for years,” he added. It was already announced that Sir Sam will produce the films under his Neal Street Productions banner alongside its co-founder Dame Pippa Harris, the former chairwoman of Bafta, and Julie Pastor.

The project marks the first time Apple Corps Ltd and The Beatles – Sir Paul, Sir Ringo, and the families of Lennon and Harrison – have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film. Sir Ringo previously appeared to let slip that Saltburn star Keoghan had taken on the role. He told Entertainment Tonight: “I believe he’s somewhere taking drum lessons, and I hope not too many.” When Sir Ridley Scott was promoting his second Roman epic Gladiator II last year, he revealed Mescal was joining the Beatles project, telling an industry event that the actor was “actually stacked up, doing the Beatles next” so he may not be able to join him on his next film.

There have been previous films about the Beatles, including Nowhere Boy, about Lennon growing up in Liverpool, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson. BBC drama Lennon Naked starred Doctor Who actor Christopher Eccleston as Lennon, and Chapter 27 depicted the musician’s death in New York in 1980 with Dallas Buyers Club actor Jared Leto playing his killer, Mark David Chapman.

Formed in 1960, The Beatles are the best-selling musical act of all time and one of the most influential groups in the world, having achieved 18 UK number one singles and 16 UK number one albums.

Normal People star Mescal and Keoghan are both Oscar nominees, having been nominated for drama Aftersun and black comedy The Banshees Of Inisherin, respectively. Dickinson has also acted in the comedy Triangle Of Sadness and thriller Where The Crawdads Sing, while Quinn rose to fame in Stranger Things before taking on roles including in A Quiet Place: Day One.

Adam Peaty’s mother Caroline has spoken out for the first time after being allegedly banned from her son’s Christmas wedding to Holly Ramsay. Things are said to have turned tense over Holly’s recent hen do.

It is believed things all began when Caroline was not invited to Holly’s hen do recently, with Victoria Beckham and Holly’s mum Tana among the guests. Caroline has now spoken out, admitting she “knows it’s the end”.

“I know it’s the end. But please, the message I want Adam to hear is no matter what happens in the future, please know I love you, your dad loves you, you can come home and talk to me at any point,” she said.

“There’s nothing you’ve done that I would not forgive. I love you so much. I hope your marriage is a good one, I don’t wish any ill on you and I want you and Holly to have a long and happy marriage. The reason I’m speaking out is I want all this to end.”

Caroline claimed that her son was “in Gordon’s clutches” and felt the family were “pulling him away”.

“He’s in Gordon’s clutches. I can’t help but feel like they are pulling him away from me. Their family is very insular,” she heartbreaking told the Daily Mail. Caroline also said she was at home looking after Adam’s son at the time of the hen and stag dos.

She said: “I was crying all the way home. I got home and told Mark that for the first time in my life, I felt I didn’t want to live. That’s how low this has made me. I’m a strong woman and I can get through anything, but this has broken me.”

Caroline’s sister Louise Williams publicly criticised Holly in a post. She wrote: “@hollyramsayy I’m so glad that you had a great hen do. As a bride, you deserve that. However, as a person you were divisive and hurtful towards a woman who I have loved and continue to love deeply. You have inflicted a hurt on my sister that will take a very long time to heal if ever.”

Caroline has now claimed that things started to sour at the engagement party, when her wider family weren’t invited. She claimed she had sent a message to Holly about it, and said her message was polite.

“But Adam didn’t take kindly to me sending that message,” she said. Caroline also claimed that Adam would not back down, and “nor will Holly”. She added that he “rarely says sorry” and “has a very black and white view”.

Caroline has said, though, that she would attend the wedding if she was invited.

Robbie Williams has claimed his vision is blurry and “getting worse”, which he blames on the jabs he has taken to aid his weight loss. The singer says he is an early adapter of ‘skinny jabs’, which some use for weight loss.

However, the singer is convinced the Mounjaro jabs could be bad for his eyesight. He recalled how during his recent shows, he sings She’s The One to a girl – but confesses he has been struggling to see them and thus it has left him concerned.

“I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research,” he said, “I was quite an early adapter of the jabs but what I’m also noticing is that my eyesight’s not very good.

“It’s been blurry for a while now, and it’s only getting worse. I don’t believe it’s age; I believe it’s the jabs. I went to an American football game the other night and the players were just blobs on a green field in front of me.”

Robbie went on to explain he had to buy new glasses and admits he has been worried by it all.

“My prescription’s changed, and I had to buy a whole new load of glasses. Everybody’s experiencing it, because I’ll say to people, ‘Blurry, right?’. And they go, ‘Oh s**t, that the thing?'” he told The Sun.

“Of course it’s worrying and by being honest today, obviously I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research. But seriously, I’m that sick I’d probably stay on it until the sight in one eye has completely gone.”

Mounjaro maker Lilly said: “Patient safety is our top priority. We have ongoing discussions with regulators regarding potential safety topics, and we will continue to review data, including any regarding ophthalmic issues. If anyone is experiencing side- effects when taking a Lilly medicine, they should talk to their doctor or healthcare professional.”

Robbie went on to explain he has been struggling with his mental health for some time but says taking the jabs have helped him improve his physical health – and thus his mental health too.

He says he now is able to do 100 dips, 200 press ups and 100 squats every day as well as working on his core. His next aim is being able to do pull-ups.

George Clarke, 25, has gone Instagram official with his lingerie model girlfriend, Yasmin Amelia, as the couple made their red carpet debut at the TikTok awards

George Clarke, 25, who has already won the nation’s hearts with his cha cha cha, made his relationship official with his lingerie model girlfriend at the TikTok awards on Thursday night. The pair, looking loved-up, walked the red carpet together at Magazine London in North Greenwich.

George, nominated for Creator of the Year and highly commended for it, didn’t hesitate to introduce his girlfriend Yasmin Amelia to his friends. Yasmin, signed to J’adore Models agency, also boasts nearly 40,000 followers on Instagram.

The couple shared a kiss as they posed for photos with fellow creator Max Balegde, 26, and his boyfriend and influencer, Andrew Spanndy. When asked about his celebration plans, George said: “I’ve got to get up at 7am tomorrow, I ‘ve got to get home to bed.”

“It’s getting a lot tougher but I feel like I know what I am doing a lot more now.”

Dressed in a navy pinstripe suit and white shirt, Yasmin chose a white lace off-the-shoulder gown. George was announced as the sixth celebrity contestant for Strictly Come Dancing 2025.

Yasmin, speaking about the event, told the Mail: “This is a whole new world to me.”

George’s showbiz roots run deeper than his online personality, as his father is the studio boss at an iconic British production company. George’s dad is Sean Clarke, the managing director of Aardman Animations – the studio behind the British institution Walla.

His dad, Sean, who started his career at the company in 1998, has climbed the ranks to co-produce Early Man and the two Shaun The Sheep films. In 2019, he was announced as the new boss of the entire operation.

While children often look to their parents for inspiration, Sean has previously confessed that his son’s YouTube success inspired him to make changes at Aardman.

Born and bred in the UK, George began dabbling with video content as a teenager, quickly realising the power of humour and honesty to connect with people globally.

Since then, he has built a successful digital career with millions of followers on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, attracted by his authenticity and sharp comedic voice. He also co-hosts The Useless Hotline Podcast, which has become so popular it has led to a series of live shows across the UK.

Before joining the dancing show, fans speculated that he was dating model Yasmin during a live stream on social media. However, last night, the pair made their relationship red carpet official.

This comes after George admitted earlier this week that his upcoming routine on Strictly Come Dancing means “so much more” than just the routine. The YouTube star is gearing up to perform a Rumba on Saturday’s edition of the BBC competition alongside professional partner Alexis Warr.

They will perform to Lily Allen’s cover of Keane classic Somewhere Only We Know, which his sister performed at his grandfather’s funeral, but as George appeared on Wednesday’s edition of the spin-off series It Takes Two, he emotionally explained that he has been struggling to ‘not put pressure’ on himself because he knows how much it will all mean to his family.

He said: “It definitely will be. Especially considering the past few weeks have been much much more ‘ok I can do the steps but can I perform?’ I feel like the steps are very important but the performance is everything to me because it’s a song that means a lot to me and my family. And yeah it is hard this week to not put the pressure on myself because it is a dance that I want to get right even more so.”

George has consistently been at the higher end of the leader board throughout his time in the competition so far, but admitted ahead of his next challenge that it can all feel ‘really strange’ to him because performing isn’t something he’s necessarily used to.

He said: “It’s really strange, the whole sort of performing side of it because that’s not something I do.”

The Traitors star Jonny Holloway has spoken in length on the Charlotte Chilton paternity twist and has revealed that he has asked for a DNA test to establish whether he is the father of her daughter

Charlotte Chilton’s Traitors co-star Jonny Holloway has spoken in length about claims he is the father of her daughter Penelope. Charlotte has spoken out multiple times about Conor Maynard being the dad, which he has denied.

A second name was then thrown into the mix following Conor’s constant denials and two paternity tests confirming he isn’t the father. It has now been revealed that her co-star Jonny Holloway also claimed he slept with her around a similar time.

However, Charlotte has denied sleeping with Jonny. He claimed that he has asked for a DNA test – but she has since changed her mind, according to Jonny, and won’t discuss the paternity with him.

“If I was the father I would step up and take that child as my own. Relations took place on a drunken night out. I was heavily intoxicated at the time. I’ve asked for a DNA test several times but have been ignored,” he told the Daily Mail.

“I’m a man of values and standards, I come from a military background. I pride myself on having respect and being a good dad to my children.” Jonny also said he contacted Charlotte and asked for a DNA test.

He added: “I said to Charlotte, ‘Look we both know what happened here. Should we do a DNA test because of what has happened?’ Originally she said yes. When it came to me setting it up, I haven’t heard back from her since. I don’t know what is going on.

The Mirror have contacted Charlotte’s representatives for comment.

Almost two years ago, Charlotte gave birth to her daughter Penelope. She claimed Conor was the father, while he insisted he wasn’t. This led to a lengthy battle in which Conor took a DNA test that said he was not the father, and then, at Charlotte’s insistence, took another with the same result.

In a recent interview when she broke down in tears, Charlotte said: “I know for a fact that the only person who can be my daughter’s father is Conor Maynard.”

Conor then appeared to mock Charlotte’s interview, by posting a video in which he said: “Here’s an invisible tissue for your invisible tears.” He captioned the video with: “My response to the most recent news…” He then played a new song, in which he tells the subject of the song to “please shut up”.

Later, he took to social media again to claim that another Traitors star was a possible father of Penelope, which she has said is impossible as they didn’t sleep together.

Charlotte has said that she “categorically knows” that Conor is the “only person” her daughter could have come from.
