Kim Kardashian said the “final straw” that ended her marriage to Kanye West was feeling “emotionally and financially unsafe”.

The socialite, 44, has described how she constantly felt on edge due to Kanye’s erratic behaviour, including allegedly giving away five of their Lamborghinis during a mental health “episode”. Kim became so concerned for her own safety she filed for divorce, which became official in 2022.

Speaking on a podcast today, the media personality said: “You never know what you’re going to get when you wake up, and that’s a really unsettling feeling.” Host Alex Cooper asked Kim what the “final straw” was in her decision to end her marriage, to which Kim said a “lack of stability” was a major factor in her call.

But she and Kanye, 48, maintain “a great healthy relationship” despite the divorce, and they share four children; North, 12, nine-year-old Saint, Chicago, seven, and Psalm, who is six.

Kim and Kanye’s relationship was also strained by the musician “airing out a lot of personal stuff”, alluding to the time he publicly revealed the pair had considered an abortion after falling pregnant with their first child.

“I didn’t like the feeling of someone talking bad about my kids, grandmother, aunts – all of those feelings. If someone feels that way, then we shouldn’t be together,” Kim added during the interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast.

The socialite wed Kanye, a longime friend, in May 2014, around one year after her divorce to then professional basketballer Kris Humphries was legalised. She stressed her second divorce was particularly tough because Kanye, who has won 24 Grammys, introduced her to the huge fashion and art realms.

But since then, her career has continued to flourish with more films and TV shows to her name, including a regular role in American Horror Story: Delicate and appearances in numerous international magazines.

The mum of four, born in Los Angeles, California, added: “Some of my biggest projects came about after I made that decision (the divorce). It was the universe rewarding me and showing me that I was moving in the right direction.”

The reality TV star claimed someone “extremely close” to her “put a hit out” in the trailer for series seven of The Kardashians, in which she stars alongside her mother Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Khloe Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner.

It comes after the news the news that the Michelle Keegan-led BBC series Ten Pound Poms has been axed and would not be renewed for a third season. But a source claims exclusively to OK! that, though disappointed, former Corrie star Michelle will be making the most of having more time off – and not having to fly to the other side of the world for long periods – as it means more quality time with husband Mark and their daughter Palma.

“With Michelle, her career is everything. She loves her family and absolutely loves being a mother, but that doesn’t mean she’s not gutted that Ten Pound Poms has been cancelled,” the source claims. “Despite that, she’s definitely found more balance since having Palma, and Mark is always so supportive, so she isn’t complaining.”

The damage to her car comes eight months after she and husband Mark Wright ‘s £3.5million Essex home was targeted by four masked burglars while they were still inside.

Mark yelled, prompting the gang to flee empty-handed in a getaway car. Police were also alerted via the state-of-the-art security system, and arrived at the mansion within minutes. Mark, 38, and Michelle were said to be relieved but “very shaken up” by the ordeal.

Hollywood great Diane Keaton died of pneumonia, her family has said today.

Heartbroken relatives paid tribute to the actress, best known for her role as Kay Adams in The Godfather and collaborations with Woody Allen, in an emotional statement this morning following her death aged 79. They celebrated Diane’s huge love for animals and nature.

But the respect also confirmed Diane, who won an Oscar for Allen’s influential film Annie Hall, passed away following a short battle with pneumonia. The poignant tribute reads: “The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11.

“She loved her animals and she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her.”

Following Diane’s death on Saturday in California, a string of actors and directors, including Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, Paul Feig and Ben Stiller, remembered the actress, whose career spanned more than five decades.

The family’s tribute is one of the latest in a string of heartbreaking words celebrating Diane’s life. One friend has also paid their respects, praising Diane’s “strength and spirit”. However, they added the star’s health had “declined very suddenly” and was “heartbreaking for everyone who loved her.”

They told People: “It was so unexpected, especially for someone with such strength and spirit. In her final months, she was surrounded only by her closest family, who chose to keep things very private. Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was happening.”

The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to reports of a “person down” at Diane’s residence around 8am on Saturday. The Godfather actress had been transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance where she was later pronounced dead.

After the news emerged, American filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, who knew the charismatic performer, said: “Words can’t express the wonder and talent of Diane Keaton. Endlessly intelligent, so beautiful.

“From her earliest performances in ‘Hair’ and throughout her amazing career, she was an extraordinary actor. I saw her in the film ‘Lovers and Other Strangers’ and knew I had to have her play Kay in The Godfather, (which she told me she based on my wife Ellie) and her wonderful work in ‘Annie Hall’ while simultaneously setting a new fashion trend. Everything about Diane was creativity personified.”

Diane made her film debut in 1970’s Lovers And Other Strangers but shot to fame in 1972 after playing Kay, the girlfriend and then wife of Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone in Coppola’s The Godfather – a role which she reprised in 1974’s The Godfather Part II and 1990’s The Godfather Part III.

She went on to have a long career as a film actress, appearing in Father Of The Bride, The Family Stone, Something’s Gotta Give and The Book Club movies. Her final films were Summer Camp and Arthur’s Whisky in 2024, and it appears she had not started filming anything else.

Freddie Flintoff was injured in the crash which happened at Dunsfold Aerodrome near Cranleigh in Surrey, where the former cricketer had been filming for BBC One’s Top Gear

Freddie Flintoff has told how his two-year-old son wouldn’t go near him after his horror Top Gear crash.

The former professional cricketer, 47, said he became “a snappy mess” following the smash which happened during filming for the BBC One programme at Dunsfold Aerodrome near Cranleigh, Surrey. The three-wheeled Morgan supercar overturned on the track and Freddie, who played cricket for England for 11 years, dragged his face along the ground, cutting open the side of his nose, cheek and lips, and shattering his jawbone and teeth.

But he has spoken this week of how traumatic the mental injuries were, revealing for the first time how the ordeal impacted his children. Freddie, who had PTSD following the accident, said: “(After the crash) I would get snappy and angry.

“The kids were incredible… It was the younger one, Preston, because he would have been about two, two and a half, at the time and he wouldn’t come near me to begin with because I was a mess.”

Top Gear was shelved following the crash, and Freddie reportedly received £9m in compensation from BBC Studios, who make the show. Yet, the star has spoken since at how the experience changed his life, including how he wouldn’t leave his home – except for medical appointments – for six to eight months in the wake of it.

But the former fast bowler, a Lancashire Cricket Club legend, has now said he is on the road to recovery, to a great extent thanks to wife Rachael Wools, whom he wed in March 2005.

Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Freddie said: “I have flashbacks and nightmares, but I’ve probably got more of an acceptance of them now.

“I suppose that the biggest thing it did do, was brought me back to cricket. Family and friends and cricket have been things that now, have probably helped me more than anything. It’s all good now. But Rachael was strong. I suppose she had to be for both of us.”

Freddie, originally from Preston, Lancashire, has returned to TV work in recent months too. A second series of Freddie’s Field of Dreams – in which he creates a brand-new cricket team with a group of promising teens and inspires a fresh generation – aired on the BBC in 2024. The BBC has given the green light for a third series, it is understood.

And the dad was chosen to front the revival of game show Bullseye, which returned as a trial on Christmas Day last year on ITV. It became so popular ITV commissioned Bullseye for a full series, which is set to broadcast before the year is out.

Pop icon Britney Spears has issued a sharp response after ex-husband Kevin Federline made a series of alarming allegations about her parenting and mental wellbeing

Britney Spears has responded through her representatives to claims made by her ex-husband Kevin Federline in his upcoming memoir You Thought You Knew, which includes allegations about her behaviour and his concerns for their children.

In the book, Federline, 47, alleges that their sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, made troubling statements about their mother when they were younger.

Federline wrote in his memoir: “They would awaken sometimes at night to find her standing silently in the doorway, watching them sleep. ‘Oh, you’re awake?’, with a knife in her hand. Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation.”

He also wrote that he believes Spears’ situation has become increasingly unstable, stating: “It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK.

“From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour. Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”

Federline further expressed concern that the #FreeBritney movement, which helped end Spears’ 13-year conservatorship in 2021, may have caused more damage than supporters realise.

“Now, more than ever, [our children] need your support,” he wrote. “I’ve been their buffer for years, but now it’s bigger than me. It’s time to sound the alarm.”

Following publication of extracts from the memoir, a spokesperson for Spears, 43, issued a statement to People magazine.

“With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin,” the statement said.

“All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James, and their well-being during this sensationalism. She detailed her journey in her memoir The Woman in Me.”

Spears and Federline married in 2004 and divorced in 2007. Their two sons were born during their marriage.

The couple’s custody arrangements and Spears’ mental health struggles were widely publicised during and after their separation.

In her 2023 memoir The Woman in Me, Spears accused Federline of damaging her emotionally during their custody dispute. “He took my world away from me,” she wrote. “He knocked the breath out of me. And my family did not hold me.”

You Thought You Knew is due for release on October 21. Federline has not issued any further public comment about Spears’ response.

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

TV star and model Vogue Williams has reportedly signed up to this year’s I’m A Celebrity, 10 years after her husband Spencer Matthews was removed from the ITV camp

I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! will be back on screens in a matter of weeks, and bosses are doing all they can to secure another star-studded lineup. The celebrities taking part in the ITV show will be kept under wraps, but rumours have already been circulating over who is taking part.

Model and reality TV star Vogue Williams is the latest famous face to be tipped to be heading Down Under for the gruelling Bushtucker trials. She would follow in her husband Spencer Matthew’s footsteps, but would hope to have a very different experience from him.

The Made in Chelsea star was removed from camp after three days back in 2015 because he was taking steroids and didn’t tell producers beforehand. Now, Vogue has been tipped as “one of the most glam signings” in years.

“She is really fun and gets on with everyone, so bosses reckon she will be a hit with viewers,” a source explained. “It has been a hard decision to go on the show, because it will mean so much time away from her kids, but she wants to fight her fears and go for it.”

They added to the Sun: “Spencer is a massive thrillseeker and is always off on an adventure, but now it is Vogue’s turn to have one.” Vogue and Spencer married in 2018, and they share three children together.

She already has experience with tough shows, having won Bear Grylls: Mission Survive. Vogue might not be the only model in camp as it has been rumoured Kelly Brook will appear despite saying she would never do it.

In 2018, Kelly insisted she would never take part in the series. At the time she said: “I can just think of a million things I’d rather do. I’d rather go and work in my local pub.”

She added: “Even if I had a huge tax bill and I had to pay it really urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.” Kelly went as far as saying doing I’m A Celebrity would be the “beginning of the end”.

However, a source told the publication over the weekend that Kelly has signed up. Other famous faces said to be taking on the jungle include Emmerdale’s Lisa Riley and Shona McGarty who quit her role on EastEnders this year.

Rapper Aitch is also reportedly to be on the bill, which would make him the first in 11 years. The musician is best known for his successful career which includes nine Top Ten hits and working with Stormzy and Ed Sheeran.

TV bosses are hoping that the 25-year-old brings a younger generation of fans. Aitch, whose real name is Harry Armstrong, originally comes from New Moston, Manchester and began his career when he was just 15.

But, ITV are yet to confirm a full list of while celebrities will be on the latest series. A spokesman for ITV said: “We do not comment on speculation about I’m A Celebrity contestants.”
