Tom Hiddleston and Taylor Swift were for three brief months one of the hottest couples in showbiz.

Although their individual careers have grown rapidly over the years, there was a time when their romantic paths crossed paths before their tumultuous relationship abruptly ended.

Taylor and Tom were first spotted out together in June 2016 after she had called time on her 15 month relationship with DJ Calvin Harris. The new pair were spotted looking very cosy during their time together and even met each other’s parents.

Although it is believed that the couple had split in an amicable way by that September, they were no longer together. Soon after Taylor’s seven-year union with Joe Alwyn.

Taylor reportedly broke up with Avengers hunk Tom because of his desire for attention, but soon more allegations surfaced that Tom was the one who called it off, with claims that he is “a commitment-phobe who gets bored easily,” according to The Sun.

Their relationship was the talk of the town (and the world) when they were spotted out together and fans were sent into a frenzy when Tom was spotted out on the fourth of July wearing a tank top which read “I ♥ T.S”, cementing his love for the singer to the world. The photos from Blake Lively holiday party quickly went viral, with many blasting Tom for the ‘cringe’ display.

Tom later revealed their relationship and the iconic tank top to GQ US, where he described Taylor as “generous” and “amazing.” Taylor is an amazing woman, he told the magazine. We had the best time, of course, and she is generous, kind, and lovely.

He made the right claim about the tank top, saying, “I slipped and hurt my back, and it was a public holiday. And I asked, “Does anyone have a T-shirt?,” to protect the graze from the sun. One of her friends responded, “I’ve got this. And it made us all laugh. It was a joke, I believe. among “friends”

He continued, “I just, I was surprised. Just how much attention it received was surprising. The tank top became this thing’s emblem.

Tom continued, “A relationship in the limelight always requires work,” even though he did not explain the cause of their split. It takes effort to have a relationship in the spotlight. Additionally, the spotlight is not the only thing. Everything else is included.

Tom said, “I only know the woman I met, so there is no bad blood (pun intended) between the two.” She is incredible.

Taylor Swift’s brief 2016 romance with Tom Hiddleston is reportedly the subject of several songs, most of which are from the Reputation era. Fans have speculated that her frantic romance with Tom inspired songs like Getaway Car, Gorgeous, Cruel Summer, and Illicit Affairs.

Taylor has written songs about some of the most popular bachelors in the world, including American heartthrob Taylor Lautner and British actor Joe Alwyn, among others. Following a proposal after two years of dating, Taylor and NFL legend Travis Kelce are now engaged.

While Tom and his partner Zawe Ashton have been expecting their first child, Tom has been engaged to her since May 2022.

Tom is now set to be back on our screens as of today as the follow-up series to the acclaimed 2016 BBC spy drama The Night Manager is set to premiere on BBC One and iPlayer on January 1, 2026.

The original plan was to be a stand-alone adaptation of John le Carré’s book, but BBC One and Amazon Prime Video authorized the second and third seasons of the program.

The original series saw a former British soldier and the night manager of a luxury hotel, Jonathan Pine (played by Tom Hiddleston) being hired by an intelligence officer to infiltrate the inner circle of a secretive arms dealer without blowing his cover.

With the help of his estate, Season 2 builds on his characters and doesn’t directly take inspiration from a John le Carré novel. It’s a rare long-gap continuation in television that comes nearly ten years after the first.

Gordon Ramsay’s team have denied claims that Bride and groom Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty’s wedding, which has been the talk of the town thanks to the newlyweds’ family fallout, will feature in Gordon Ramsay’s upcoming Netflix series.

Gordon’s daughter Holly, 26, and Olympic swimmer Adam, 31, tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in Bath Abbey on the Saturday just after Christmas – and invited 200 guests to watch them exchange vows, although many of Adam’s family didn’t attend due to an ongoing feud, including his heartbroken mum Caroline who shared a cryptic comment yesterday.

For more than a year, cameras have followed Hell’s Kitchen star Gordon, 59, to capture intimate moments for the documentary series, but the Mirror is aware that the series’ filming has already begun. However, it’s been claimed that Holly and Adam tied the knot while the cameras were there right away, during which Holly’s father, Gordon, reportedly made digs at Adam’s family, and delivered a speech.

A source told The Sun that “some of the day was filmed.” Which family members are absent will be very obvious.

“I would imagine that the family feud will come up at some point – it would be weird to just ignore it.” But, when contacted by the Mirror, Gordon’s representative denied the claim and insisted filming had already wrapped months before Adam and Holly’s nuptials.

It comes after allegations that the couple reportedly spent no money on lavish presents for their wedding guests despite the fact that they were still invited.

The celebrity couple splashed the money on expensive presents for each of the 200 guests to reportedly express gratitude to those 200 who did not remain on the invitee list.

According to reports, Adam and Holly reportedly spent over $40,000 on the presents, which are said to include a commemorative T-shirt, an engraved bottle of tequila, which is said to cost £190 per pop, and an engraving.

According to The Sun, the couple allegedly “felt indebted” to guests as a result of their bitter dispute with Adam and his family. According to a source, “Holly and Adam were incredibly kind to their guests, lavishing them all with a bottle of tequila with their own initials.”

“At the same time, guests were given a cute t-shirt that depicts the couple beginning their life together while they are driving in a car.

The source claimed that the wedding had been “wishful memento for everyone” and that the T-shirt had the date of the wedding on it, “because they really pushed the boat out” because “they wanted the wedding to be perfect no matter the turbulence,” and it was exactly that.

Victoria Beckham and her husband Sir David rang in the New Year in style, wearing one of her own designer dresses for the occasion. But behind the smiles and the party atmosphere, the former Spice Girl’s thoughts were evidently turning to her eldest son Brooklyn, 26, who the family has been locked in a heartbreaking feud with.

The budding chef is currently not speaking to his parents or his siblings, and even went as far as blocking them on social media a few days before Christmas.

However, devoted mother-of-four Victoria made it clear that she would never stop thinking about him and that the door would always be open in the event that he wanted to make peace.

The 51-year-old designer reshared a sweet black and white snap posted by David of him and Brooklyn, where the England footie icon wrote, “I love you all so much,” adding a red heart to the post. David also shared another black-and-white snap with Victoria and all their brood, writing alongside it: “You are my life, I love you all, love Daddy. On to 2026.”

It was another pointed and public olive branch from Brooklyn’s father to his eldest son that he is constantly in their thoughts – despite Brooklyn snubbing him in the previous year during major events – such as his 50th birthday in May and his knighthood in November – which he failed to acknowledge.

On New Year’s Eve, Brooklyn’s brother Cruz simply shared a sunny throwback holiday snap of himself and his famous dad on his Instagram story, but Romeo failed to mark the New Year with any family posts at all – and neither brother has yet commented on their dad’s gushing New Year post.

Although he failed to share a single photo of Brooklyn, Sir David’s 2025 round-up social media post did not mention any family drama, instead focusing on all the positive things that had happened in the previous twelve months. However, he did post images of Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and Harper, 13, who were both taking vacations.

He added, “I feel very lucky to have had a year like my 50th to my knighthood (still pinching myself), and then winning the MLS as an owner,” alongside a carousel of images.

He continued, “I’m so grateful to my incredible wife, my amazing children, my friends and team I work with every single day nothing would have been possible without you all… But as Sir Alex Ferguson would say “Onto the next.” Thank you for the incredible memories I will forever remember 2025 @victoriabeckham I love you & our kids.”

Brooklyn, despite rumours that a Christmas reunion might well be on the cards with his family back in the UK. remained with his actress wife Nicola Peltz in America, where he lives, for the festive season.

When Brooklyn’s wedding to Nicola in Miami wasn’t one of Victoria’s dresses to wear as the bride’s wedding dress, it is thought that the family’s roots may have been in that moment.

But it seemed to be cemented in earnest when Brooklyn was noticeably absent from David’s star-studded 50th birthday celebrations last May, having also been a now-show for his mum’s 51st birthday in April.

Brooklyn’s younger brother Cruz revealed in December that he, his brother, sister and his parents had all been blocked by Brooklyn on Instagram – though he continues to follow his aunts and grandparents on the platform.

Good Morning Britain presenter Charlotte Hawkins’ festive celebrations were hit by a traumatic drama as a close family member was taken ill and rushed to A&E. The 50-year-old mum of one was enjoying a family Christmas when her father-in-law was taken ill.

The much-loved presenter said he underwent an operation – and paid tribute to the medical team which stepped in. She said: “Happy New Year to you! And raising a glass to toast Christmas miracles this year, it’s been quite the few days for us.

“My father-in-law had to be rushed to hospital from ours on Christmas Eve, but amazingly was back around the table less than 24 hours later after having a pacemaker fitted. From the brilliant paramedics in the ambulance, to the incredible NHS team who were there in the hospital over Christmas and got him back to us in time to raise a glass on Christmas Day. Such a HUGE thank you.”

Following her ordeal, fans rushed to cheer the presenter. Wow!, Feebee said. I wish you all the best of luck. Happy New Year, Lexi said. I’m so happy your FIL is fine.

Comeon continued, “Looking stunning, happy new year, and glad your father in law is feeling better. Happy New Year, Cam said. I’m glad to see that everything went well. “Happy New Year, Charlotte, and best wishes to your father-in-law.

Charlotte has previously struggled to hold back tears when she addressed the on-air struggles of her own late father with motor neurone disease. After battling the terminal condition for three years, the television presenter’s father, Frank, passed away in 2015 at the age of 78.

Charlotte began by saying: “On the subject of modern technology, there has been a lot of AI and people are worried about where we are heading with this and people are wondering where we are heading with this.”

She continued, “I just want to flag a positive use of AI because I’m a Motor Neurone Disease Association patron, and this one caught my eye. One of the hardest things for those with motor neurone disease is losing your voice is a woman named Sarah Ezekiel, who is now diagnosed with motor neurone disease.

“And by the power of AI, her voice was able to be replicated after they discovered a small video clip, and this voice was given to her.”

The Good Morning Britain presenter had previously disclosed that her father passed away just one month before her eagerly-awaited daughter Ella Rose arrived.

Before his “horrific” passing, she claimed at the time that she would remain forever “thankful” that he had found her carrying her daughter.

Susanna Reid and Kate Garraway, ITV favorites, were seen holding back tears as GMB and This Morning’s sets were torn down amid cuts.

As massive recycling bins were seen packed full at Television Centre as the two shows made their move to a new location, popular Good morning Britain hosts Susanna Reid and Kate Garraway could barely contain their emotions.

On Thursday morning, the audience and the behind-the-scenes crew gathered for an emotional debrief, and many tears were shed as they marked the end of a long run on British television.

It’s believed that a sad Kate was sitting on the studio floor as a colleague spoke, while Susanna and weather presenter Laura Tobin stood behind the famous GMB desk, all looking overcome with emotion, with some staff raising a glass of bubbly to toast to the team, as everything is set to change.

Workmen could be seen removing all the Christmas decorations from the studios, leaving them bare before handing the keys over to a host of new shows. GMB will now be filmed at ITN headquarters in Central London while the other daytime shows will be filmed at The H Club in Covent Garden.

It comes as a raft of changes at ITV following drastic budget cuts come into effect on Monday, with a whole new schedule which will see GMB run for half an hour longer, and morning talkshow Lorraine, hosted by Scottish presenter Lorraine Kelly, chopped by 30 minutes.

This Morning and Loose Women will run as usual, but Loose Women will now only run for 30 weeks of the year. The changes saw 220 jobs lost in a bid to save money.

According to a source quoted in the Sun, it’s a “devastating time” for the entire team, and to see the sets come apart was “devastating.”

They said, “There are staff who have worked for ITV Daytime for years – from GMTV to Daybreak to GMB – also on Lorraine, Loose Women and This Morning.

“A new era has been reached because the teams have been relocated and divided.” Many people are saying goodbye forever even though they weren’t ready to leave.

Television Centre, which was used by ITV Daytime since 2018, will not gather dust amid the new changes, however with a host of popular shows, such as Limitless Win, Strictly and the National Lottery draw and Saturday Night Live UK to be filmed there.

The huge changes were announced last August by ITV boss Kevin Lygo, who said at the time: “Daytime is a really important part of what we do, and these scheduling and production changes will enable us to continue to deliver a schedule providing viewers with the news, debate and discussion they love from the presenters they know and trust as well as generating savings which will allow us to reinvest across the programme budget in other genres.

“These changes also help us consolidate our news operations, expand our national, international, and regional news output, and strengthen our long-standing reputation for reliable journalism at a time when our viewers are more and more in need of accurate, objective news coverage.

But it’s believed the shock changes ruffled a lot of feathers behind closed doors, including some of the stars of the soon to be drastically-reduced daytime chat show Loose Women – who are paid on an episode by episode basis.

Others, however, were philosophical about the shake-up, including the famously outspoken Janet Street Porter, who told the Mirror last November, “I’ve had to make cuts myself. I’ve been made redundant,” she explains. “For those concerned it’s very traumatic and I empathise. I’ve been kicked off shows, told to my face they don’t want me any more. It’s really wounding.

However, she continued, “Sometimes change, especially in your career, can be for the better and give you resilience because there is another job out there.” I’m not talking about the Loose staff right now, but what worries me is that some young people don’t have the ability to look at something that isn’t working their way and get past it without collapsing or breaking down.
