Tess Daly was all smiles as she embarked on a family ski holiday, ahead of her daughter Phoebe’s relocation to New York City.

The 56 year old telly star took to Instagram on Friday, sharing a series of photos from their adventure in the French Alps. The former Strictly Come Dancing host was seen bundled up in a cosy white woolly jacket and cream trousers.

Her blonde tresses cascaded freely over her shoulders, while she completed her look with black boots and chic sunglasses. Phoebe, 21, chose a shiny silver coat paired with burgundy and white patterned trousers, and accessorised with a dark handbag.

Tess also posted pictures with her husband Vernon, 51, who was dressed in a matching black jacket, trousers and beanie hat. The couple, who tied the knot in 2003, are also proud parents to their younger daughter Amber, 16. Alongside the post, Tess penned: “Hitting the slopes for the first time since I was 17 made for an eventful trip last week.”

This comes after Tess’ daughter Phoebe shared some huge family news as she announced her move to New York City. The 21 year old shared a photo of herself at a rooftop bar in the Big Apple on Instagram on Thursday. It seems to be a temporary move for Phoebe though, as she captioned the snap: “Home for a while…”

Phoebe also added to her profile’s bio : “Heyyyy LDN/NYC”. She has not shared the reason behind her relocation or how long she will be in the city for, but the move is recent, as she was in the UK for the end of her mother’s run on Strictly Come Dancing. Phoebe was backstage at this year’s Strictly final, which marked the last live Strictly show presented by her mother Tess and co-host Claudia Winkleman, following their decision to leave the show.

The duo were honoured with a special tribute VT after the highlights of this year’s series were broadcast. However, they were left stunned as Craig Revel Horwood read out a special letter from Her Majesty The Queen. It stated: “Tess and Claudia, as you prepare to take your final twirl, I just want to say thank you on behalf of the millions who watch you each week.”

“I have often thought that Strictly is not so much a show about dancing as about friendships, the bonds forged, the struggles overcome, and the joy shared in undertaking a joint endeavour.”

“If that is true, then perhaps yours has been the greatest strictly partnership of all. The warmth, compassion, and sheer happiness you have radiated with and from each other has been at the heart of the show’s success.”

“I think I speak for everyone when I say you have been utterly fabulous. I wish you both every success in wherever life’s journey takes you next, but as one who has appreciated its lifelong benefits, do promise us one thing, keep dancing. With the warmest gratitude and admiration, Her Royal Highness, Queen Camilla.”

Tess, who started hosting the BBC show in 2004, decided to leave the series this year. She and her co-host Claudia released a joint statement in September announcing their departure from the show after over 20 years on it.

In a video put on Instagram, Tess and Claudia said: “We have loved working as a duo and hosting Strictly has been an absolute dream. We were always going to leave together, and now feels like the right time.

“We will have the greatest rest of this amazing series, and we just want to say an enormous thank you to the BBC and to every single person who works on the show.

“They’re the most brilliant team, and we’ll miss them every day. We will cry when we say the last ‘keep dancing’, but we will continue to say it to each other. Just possibly in tracksuit bottoms at home while holding some pizza.”

After the pair’s final live show, Phoebe took to Instagram to praise her mother. Phoebe penned: “Wow. What an incredible Strictly Come Dancing final last night.

“The love and joy strictly creates is something magical and I’m so lucky to have seen my mum work with the absolute best people. Last night was definitely an emotional one, but most importantly it was a celebration of the show and the 21 years mum has been doing it.”

She continued: “Mum you are a true inspiration to me I will hold all these Strictly memories close to my heart forever. It’s been in my life since the day mum was pregnant with me so I don’t know life without Strictly and for that reason I will forever be the shows number one fan.”

Katie Price has revealed her plans to get her son to start taking Moujaro and join the gym in a bid to get him ‘fit’ and ‘healthy’ in 2026 after revealing he weighs just under 30 stone

Katie Price has told her fans of plans to get son Harvey on Mounjaro and joining a gym as she vows to get him ‘fit’ and ‘healthy’ this year.

Katie, 47, has consistently shared her concerns for her 23 year old son Harvey’s health as his complex medical conditions, which include Prader-Willi syndrome, cause him to struggle with his weight. Prader-Willi syndrome causes uncontrollable hunger and a lack of fullness, which can lead to severe weight gain.

In a new YouTube video uploaded to her channel today, Katie, who recently split from beau JJ, reveals her eldest son now weighs “just under 30 stone”. And she is seen having a conversation with him about his weight and plans to get him ‘fit’ and ‘healthy’ this year.

The moment, which is captured on New Year’s Eve, shows Katie sitting on a bed while her son Harvey stands next to her. “What we’re gonna do this year is get very, very healthy so you can get on those rollercoasters for your birthday,” she tells Harvey, who replies with a request to go on the Grand National roller coaster in Blackpool. She then says: “Oh you wanna go on that one? That’s easier than America to get to. Well we can do that.”

She is later seen urging him in the conversation: “Healthy eating,” as the pair exchange a pinky promise. She adds: “You say this every year. And you’re still just under 30 stone. But that’s alright, we’ll get it down a little bit, all for them rides,” as Harvey replies: “Oh yes,” and gives a thumbs up to the camera.

As Katie also revealed she plans to get Harvey to join a gym, she adds: “And exercise because now you’ll be living 15 minutes from Mummy’s house, I’m joining you to a gym. Mummy might join a gym. And then we can go together, Mummy get you personal trainer in the gym, you can do swimming there and a massage, would you like all that? And we’ll get you fit.”

Harvey replies: “Oh yes Mum.” As Katie adds: “We’ll get rid of that one pack, we’ll get you a six pack. Show us your muscles, what you’re gonna be like,” Harvey then flexes his arms for the camera as Katie gives an encouraging, “Yeah! What are you gonna say? I’m…”

“Strong,” Harvey replies as Katie says: “Exactly, are you gonna do it?” Harvey replies: “Yeah,” as Katie says: “And then you can do all the rollercoasters all around the world.” Harvey says: “Hip, hip,” as Katie replies: “Horray,” before Harvey sweetly blows a kiss and says: “Thank you Mummy.”

Katie then says: “Then you don’t have to moan when you put your socks on.”

In a later moment in the YouTube vlog, Katie is alone h as she tells the camera she’s already begun to make healthier choices for herself and her family – including son Harvey – days after New Years Eve.

She says: “My hopes and dreams for Harvey this year: it’s not a hope and it’s not a dream because it’s happening. He’s moving nearer home, he’s got a brand new flat I’m gonna make it home from home. I can’t wait for Harvey to be nearer me, I can’t wait for Harvey to start that Mounjaro, loosing some of that weight to give him the best quality of life and for the fact of him being nearer home I’ll be able to do lots more activities, get him out and about, more independent skills and I’ve got some career ideas for Harvey as well.”

The winter is notorious for leaving skin dry and dull, which is why Emily Atack said her hydrating face oil that instantly moisturises and boosts glow ‘changed her life’

By now you’ll have no doubt realised that the winter weather has been wreaking havoc on your skin. The cold temperatures, lack of moisture and harsh winds are the perfect storm for making skin feel dry, dull and lifeless, which is why hydration is even more important at this time of year.

Picking skincare products that are going to lock in moisture whilst still reaching deep into the layers of your skin is the secret to helping boost hydration and give your skin some of its glow back, and TV star Emily Atack has found the perfect product for the job. She recently raved about Oskia’s Restoration Oil on Instagram, saying “It changed my life” and was “one of my favourite Christmas presents.”

The oil is the perfect item to introduce to your existing skincare, helping add an extra layer of moisture to dry, dull skin. It’s ideal for all skin types, and contains a blend of nutrients, extracts and floral oils which tone, nourish and lift the skin.

The Restoration Oil contains lupin and sea fennel which improve elasticity, turmeric to even out your skin tone and leave it healthy-looking and radiant, and African acmella which increases suppleness. It’s also blended with starflower, sunflower seed and evening primrose oils, as well as rosehip oil which helps repair the skin – essential after the harsh winter weather.

It’s rounded off with gamma linolenic acid which hydrates skin and boosts your natural skin barrier, and heart seed vine to soothe your skin. The Restoration Oil is non-greasy, and is best applied after serums but before any heavier face creams or makeup, helping create a soft, hydrated base for the rest of your products to layer on top of.

It does, however come with a pretty hefty price tag of £80 for a 30ml bottle, which might be out of budget for some. If it is a little steep for you, there’s some other great similar face oils to add to your routine instead that’ll help boost both hydration and glow.

Byoma’s Hydrating Recovery Oil is a great budget-friendly pick, especially now it’s on sale at Sephora down from £13.99 to £10.50. It has a combination of oils and lipids which illuminate, brighten and balance your skin, keeping it hydrated whilst also restoring the barrier from the first use.

We also love The Support Oil from Skin Rocks, which is £60 for a 30ml bottle, making it cheaper than the Oskia one. It’s packed with botanical actives and oils which instantly calm sore, irritated and inflamed skin, reduce moisture loss and redness, all whilst boosting hydration both immediately and long term.

The original Traitors star Amanda Lovett left fans in shock as she sported a fresh faced new look during her appearance on Uncloaked alongside stars including Charlotte Church

She became a fan favourite as one of the original Traitors on the BBC show until she was eliminated after her co-star Wilfred Webster turned on her. But now the Amanda Lovett, 57, has set tongues wagging once again following her recent appearance on the BBC show’s spin-off programme Uncloaked.

Amanda Lovett appeared on Friday’s episode of The Traitors Uncloaked with Ed Gamble, Charlotte Church and the most recent banished star of this series, Fiona. But it was her fresh-faced appearance that made viewers take a second look as she appeared completely different to her previous TV stint, while on the first series of the show.

It has been reported that Amanda has taken great care to look after her skin with the use of creams and non-invasive procedures in a bid to tighten her face, resulting in a more youthful look. One fan wrote: “Sorry but amanda looks PHENOMENAL #TheTraitors.” Another said: “What on earth has happened to Amanda #TheTraitors #TheTraitorsUK #Uncloaked.”

Meanwhile a third person added: “Uncloaked – how the f*** does Amanda not look ANYTHING like Amanda?!?!” A fourth penned: “Amanda (S1) looks 20 years younger on uncloaked omgg.” Previously, the mum of five, who is also a grandmother claimed that her treatments were only temporary and so she made the decision to undergo a neck and lower facelift.

At the time she said: “I was looking at myself on the camera, and I kept seeing myself at all these different angles that I had never seen before, as it’s so different to having a picture taken. I noticed my face and neck were just getting saggier and saggier.” She added: “I started to think about needing to wear a scarf or polo necks just to hide this area of my body that I didn’t like. But then I thought, ‘why should I do that when there is help out there that can sort this issue out and take the years back a bit?'”

The procedure is believed to have cost an estimated £7,600 and reportedly took up to five hours while awake under local anaesthetic. Recalling the procedure, she said: “I was a bit apprehensive at first – I wondered how bad it would be choosing to be awake rather than asleep, but it really wasn’t that bad. It felt like a lot of tugging, pulling and tugging. I found it comforting – I even dozed off at one point.”

The recovery period took three to four weeks according to the reality TV star as she waited for the swelling to go down. But her full recovery took three months. She added: “It takes time to heal, but I was back going out with friends after three weeks. Now I haven’t got a scar or anything. It’s absolutely amazing.”

Fans of The Traitors recently complained to BBC bosses as they felt the programme Uncloaked was spoiling the main show by giving away key pointers. The spin off show airs shortly after the main show and invites the murdered contestants and those who have been banished, as well as celebrities to discuss the recently aired show.

But at the end of the Uncloaked, show host Ed Gamble teases his guests and viewers have noticed that he usually gives an insight into who will be the next person to leave. During Friday’s episode featuring Charlotte Church and Amanda, they were invited to discuss Fiona’s exit and their appearance was shown on Thursday night’s episode of the spin off show, leaving some fans to figure out the outcome before the main show aired.

Taking to Twitter one person said: “So I worked out a theory last night, and I didn’t tweet it because I didn’t want to spoil tonight’s show but, alas, it came true. Regarding #Uncloaked, their guests keep spoiling the show, and I’m tweeting this so they hopefully see it and stop it!! @BBC.”

Another person said: “They have themed guests, and the pattern is too obvious. For example, Mark was on last night after Amanda got banished by chance, because he was banished by chance too. The other guest was Fozia, murdered face to face… just like Maz.”

Country music legend Dolly Parton has announced she will not attend her 80th birthday celebration at Grand Ole Opry, months after postponing Las Vegas shows for medical procedures

Dolly Parton has sparked fresh concern amongst fans after revealing she won’t be attending her 80th birthday celebration.

The country music legend, who was born on 19 January 1946, shared a video message with the venue where her special event was due to take place, confirming she wouldn’t be making an appearance at the concert. The announcement follows a string of show cancellations connected to Dolly’s wellbeing.

The video was posted by the Grand Ole Opry, a renowned live country music broadcast channel based in Nashville, Tennessee. In the footage, Dolly speaks directly to the camera whilst wearing a white button-up shirt featuring yellow accents, teamed with figure-hugging jeans.

“Well, hey there Grand Ole Opry family,” she begins in the clip. “I just wanted to say how much it means to me that you’re all coming together again this year to celebrate my big ol’ birthday with some of my songs.

“Some of my favourite memories happened right here on stage at the Grand Ole Opry,” she adds. “And I wish I could be there in person, but I’ll be sending you all my love, for sure.” Whilst fans initially expressed worry about Dolly’s health, a spokesperson subsequently clarified that she had never intended to attend the celebration.

“She was never intending to be there and she was never promoted to be there, so she’s not pulling out of anything. She was never going,” they explained. Back in September 2024, Dolly informed supporters that she needed to postpone her highly-anticipated Las Vegas residency owing to medical concerns.

The star was told by her doctors that she will have to postpone her upcoming Las Vegas concerts due to health issues that require medical procedures. In a heartfelt post, Dolly informed her fans at the time: “I want the fans and public to hear directly from me that, unfortunately, I will need to postpone my upcoming Las Vegas concerts. As many of you know, I have been dealing with some health challenges, and my doctors tell me that I must have a few procedures.”

The country music legend lightened the mood by joking that she had told her doctors it “must be time for my 100,000 mile check-up, although it’s the usual trip to see my plastic surgeon.”

However, on a more serious note, she expressed: “Given this, I am not going to be able to rehearse and put together the show that I want you to see, and the show that you deserve to see. You pay good money to see me perform, and I want to be at my best for you.”

She reassured fans that while she’ll be working on her projects from Nashville, she needs some time to prepare for her shows. The Coat of Many Colours singer also made it clear that she has no plans to retire, stating: “And don’t worry about me quittin’ the business because God hasn’t said anything about stopping yet. But, I believe He is telling me to slow down right now so I can be ready for more big adventures with all of you.”

She ended her message with a heartfelt thank you to her fans, saying: “I love you and thank you for understanding.”
