Sophie Ellis-Bextor shares 2022 email that ‘changed everything’ for her

Singer-songwriter Sophie Ellis-Bextor first burst onto the scene in the early noughties and enjoyed success with hit songs including Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love), Murder on the Dancefloor and more

Singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor has shared the email that “changed everything” for her and propelled her career to new heights. Sophie, 46, first stepped into the limelight in the early noughties, with hit songs including the 2001 smash, Murder on the Dancefloor.

The track re-entered the zeitgeist in a huge way after it was used in writer and director Emerald Fennell’s cultural phenomenon, Saltburn. The 2023 black comedy film stars Barry Keoghan as Oxford scholarship student Oliver Quick who struggles to fit in with his elite fellow students.

Infatuated with popular and affluent student Felix Catton, played by Jacob Elordi, Oliver ingratiates himself in his inner circle with tales about his parents’ mental health issues and substance abuse problems. After Oliver shares his father has died, Felix invites Oliver to spend the summer at his family’s sprawling estate, Saltburn.

At the film’s conclusion, after much scheming and death, Oliver is seen dancing naked through Saltburn while Ellis-Bextor’s hit Murder on the Dancefloor plays. The scene went viral across social media, with multiple people recreating versions of it themselves.

The singer-songwriter recently took part in a new trend taking over social media, whereby people share an encounter from the past that’s proved to change their lives in a positive or meaningful way.

In Sophie’s edited video, she began by sharing a screenshot of the email request which asked if her track could be used in the film.

Over the top of a montage of clips of people recreating the Murder on the Dancefloor scene, as well as reports on her song re-entering the charts and boasting impressive streaming records, Sophie added text which reads: “In 2022, you’re going to get an email asking to use your song in a film. It’s very important that you say yes.”

The email, which had the subject line “Saltburn (film)/Sophie Ellis-Bextor”, simply said: “Hi Sophie/Derek, hope you’re well. We’ve had a request in for an upcoming film. Please let us know if you’d like to approve.”

Sophie simply replied: “All good with me, thanks”.

In the caption, she penned: “The email from 2022 that changed everything.. thank you, Saltburn and the magic which continued into 2025. Another fun year with adventures a-plenty! Let’s see what 2026 holds… xxx”.

In the comments section on X, where Sophie shared the video, people were keen to share their thoughts.

One person said, in reference to Sophie’s popular “kitchen discos” she did throughout lockdown: “You deserve this for all the good you did for so many people during Covid. Thank you.”

Another said: “I think Saltburn folks should post a thank you for your talent and musical genius giving them some real quality on screen moments.

“Your music isn’t for one decade or generation. You fully deserve these flowers. Much like Lily Allen we need to acknowledge the British brilliance”.

A third commented: “so gorgeous and a great reminder of how such a seemingly small decision can be so life-changing”.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ‘make redundancies’ after major unexpected change

It has been reported that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s charitable organisation Archewell Philanthropies, has let several staff go under a restructure

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s charity restructure has resulted in staff redundancies, it has been reported. It was revealed last week that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex were renaming their Archewell Foundation as Archewell Philanthropies – and moving to a “fiscal sponsorship model”. Now it has been revealed that, among the restructuring, three staffers have been let go from their jobs.

Harry and Meghan set up the foundation, which has the mission statement “Show up, do good”, after stepping down from their royal duties and moving to Los Angeles in 2020. It was one of the first projects they set up after quitting their royal roles.

A statement said: “The move toward a fiscal sponsor operating model does mean that some staff redundancies are inevitable, particularly with junior admin roles.

“We will not be discussing these personnel details further, other than to say that we are honored to have worked with incredibly talented and caring people who dedicate themselves to helping others.” The Mirror has contacted Archewell Philanthropies for comment.

It was announced on Friday that the duke and duchess’s joint charity, the Archewell Foundation, will be renamed Archewell Philanthropies as it marks five years since it was founded. The charity this year has advocated for safer digital spaces and the responsible development of artificial intelligence (AI). It has also funded support for children affected by conflict in Gaza and Ukraine.

Archewell takes its name from “arche”, the ancient Greek word meaning “source of action”, and “well”, symbolising “a plentiful source or supply, a place we go to dig deep”.

A spokeswoman for Harry and Meghan said: “This next chapter allows Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, to broaden their global philanthropic efforts as a family, with meaningful reach and maximum impact, grounded in the same values, partnerships, and their commitment to show up and do good.”

News of the new name came just hours before a photo of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex with their children was shared by Meghan alongside a “happy holidays” message.

Meghan posted a photo on her Instagram account on Friday showing the family of four on a small bridge surrounded by greenery, with her bending down to touch heads with Princess Lilibet and holding hands, while Prince Archie has his hands around Harry’s waist. The caption read: “Happy Holidays! From our family to yours.” The couple also posted a video on their website to mark the festive season.

On their website, they wrote: “On behalf of the office of Prince Harry and Meghan, Duke and Duchess of Sussex, and Archewell, we wish you a very happy holiday season and a joyful new year.”

A video on the site included video clips of the couple during events this year, including giving speeches, dancing and hugging others during sections with the captions: Responding to Global Crisis; Supporting Women and Girls; Protecting Families Online and Show Up, Do Good.

Hollyoaks star shares incredible baby news with sweet post

In a sweet Instagram post shared with her followers, Hollyoaks actress Jessamy Stodart revealed that she is expecting her second child with her husband Ryan O’Gorman.

This Christmas, one Hollyoaks star has some wonderful news.

Jessamy Stoddart has announced she is expecting her second child with husband Ryan O’Gorman via a sweet social media post. The 32 year old actress who plays Liberty Savage in the TV soap took to Instagram and wrote: “So incredibly lucky to be growing a little brother or sister for Joni.”

The cute caption was accompanied by a series of pictures sharing the happy news. One picture showed a heart shaped bauble hanging from the couple’s Christmas tree, which read: “Baby O’Gorman. Due May 2026.”

A copy of the couple’s baby scan was visible in the picture enclosed in the bauble. In a mirror selfie, Jessamy was seen lovingly touching her growing baby bump in another image. The side of the snap showed the excited star, who was wearing a black top that sat on top of her bump.

And it didn’t take long before her post was inundated with comments, congratulating the star and her husband. Former Hollyoaks star Nikki Sanderson wrote: “Amazing news!!!! So happy for you all.”

“Ahhh, this is great news!!!” wrote Kimberly Hart-Simpson. I love you all the most. Carrie Hope Fletcher also said, “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Congratulations, gorgeous!!!” “Congratulations,” added Lucy Fallon.

And her supporters congratulated her quickly as well. Oh lovely, one person said. Happy hun … I’m certain that Hollyoaks water contains something.

Another person praised the news as “the most beautiful.” Ryan and Joni, you two deserve a lot of congratulations. And a third person expressed his happiness for the entire group by saying, “This is SOOOOO happy!” Congratulations for all of my love.

By the time Jessamy and Ryan had tied the knot in 2021, they had already given the news that they were expecting their first child. The TV star shared the birth of her daughter Joni in January 2023.

And she later said, “Our little girl,” when she shared a picture of her new arrival. Joni Drew O’Gorman 04/01/2023 8lb4. A rainbow appears after every storm, and this rainbow was born on the anniversary of our first finding out that we were pregnant.

She continued: “We are besotted. @lwhhomebirthteam & @liverpoolwomens I owe you the world xxx.” Jessamy’s character had gone through her fair share of ups and downs since joining the show.

Liberty had planned to have a baby with her half-sister, Sienna, but she unexpectedly made the decision to keep the biological child. However, she experienced postpartum psychosis as a result of believing that Sienna would attempt to flee with her child.

In an exclusive chat with Mirror Online, Jessamy explained: “All Liberty wants is for Faith to be safe. She is her number one priority, she just needs to shut out the noise and listen to her instincts.”

She continued, “Senna is persistent, out of all of whom, I believe, will be most likely to get there eventually.” Their relationship is so strong despite Liberty’s concerns for her.

The path to recovery is a long way away, she continued. The heartbreaking storyline will stick with Hollyoaks fans forever thanks to the multiple scenes that played out over the course of several weeks.

Jessamy re-entered the show in 2018; She had previously appeared in numerous theater productions, including Legally Blonde and Mack and Mabel, before transitioning to TV acting.
