BBC presenter Gabby Logan admitted the family transition felt “weird” as she navigates a new chapter with her husband of 24 years, Kenny Logan

Gabby Logan has opened up about a positive turn in her marriage to former rugby star Kenny Logan. The couple are currently adjusting to life with an empty nest after their 19-year-old twins Reuben and Lois embarked on their own career journeys.

Lois, a jockey, headed back to her university in Leicestershire for her second year in September. This comes after Gabby previously admitted to being in floods of tears after saying goodbye to her daughter last year.

Meanwhile, Reuben has followed his dad’s rugby path. Back in April, Sale Sharks revealed they had snapped up the Scotland Under-20 forward on a two-year deal from Northampton Saints.

Before their children flew the nest, Gabby confessed the adjustment was “going to feel a bit weird”. However, the 52-year-old has now embraced the change by enjoying more precious moments with her husband.

Speaking to Hello! Magazine, she revealed: “We did some lovely trips this summer because Reuben was playing for the under-20s World Cup, so we went to Verona, Milan, just quick trips, two nights to watch the match.

“It was so nice because we had the purpose of being there to watch the game, but we didn’t get to hang out with him, because he was with the team.

“So we’d watch him, give him a cuddle afterwards, and then we’d go back to the lovely hotel, have dinner together.

“I’m looking forward to spending more little trips like that, just the two of us.”

Previously speaking about their marriage, Gabby opened up about the hurdles they’ve encountered and how they’ve navigated them.

“In any relationship, you’re going to have ups and downs,” she told Bella Magazine.

“We have differences in our opinions, but we are grown-up enough to discuss them.”

She added: “It’s knowing how to communicate through those challenging times, finding a common ground and having a sense of humour.”

One of the most challenging obstacles they confronted together was Kenny’s fight against prostate cancer in 2022.

The father-of-two chose to get examined after listening to Gabby discussing women’s health struggles on her The MidPoint podcast.

He told The Telegraph: “I thought, ‘What can men do for their own health?’ We need to take responsibility, too.”

Without an NHS prostate screening programme available, Kenny opted for a private examination, which involved having his PSA levels checked.

While he experienced no symptoms at the time, a biopsy subsequently confirmed his diagnosis after his PSA level climbed to over seven.

“That news left me and Gabby reeling,” he admitted. “I’ve played sports all my life so I’m fit, I eat well and have never smoked. I’ve mostly drunk in moderation.

“Yet, as the doctor said to me, prostate cancer isn’t caused by lifestyle, there is nothing to ‘blame’, and what’s more, it’s often entirely symptomless, as mine had been.

“I was two months shy of my 50th birthday at that time, I felt entirely well, and it was all such a shock that I almost fell over.”

Following his choice to have his prostate removed, the 53-year-old felt “95% back to normal” three months post-operation and received the all-clear.

The late star stepped down from her role as Love Island host after being charged with allegedly assaulting her then-boyfriend

Caroline Flack’s loved-ones have revealed just how devastated the former Love Island host was when she was lost her presenting role.

The much-loved TV star began hosting the show in summer 2015 after it was revived on ITV2, following on from the less popular celebrity series of the same name.

Caroline stepped down from her position in December 2019 after being charged with the assault of her then-boyfriend Lewis Burton. The charges had attracted a whirlwind of negative media attention, which effectively forced Caroline to step away from the series.

“In order to not detract attention from the upcoming series I feel the best thing I can do is to stand down for series 6,” she wrote in an Instagram statement.

Fellow broadcaster Laura Whitmore took over the hosting mantle and it seems Caroline was distraught by the replacement.

Speaking in the new Disney Plus documentary, Caroline Flack: Search for the Truth, the presenter’s best friend Mollie Grosberg sheds light on her feelings at the time.

Mollie said: “Love Island was a massive thing for Caroline. Laura taking over brought up every single insecurity.”

She went on to reveal that the former host did in fact tune in.

“We weren’t allowed to watch it. Then she wanted to watch it so we’d sit and watch it together. And then every day she’d ask me for the numbers ‘How many viewers? How many viewers?,” Mollie explained.

Naturally, Laura taking over caused “turmoil” for the former Strictly Come Dancing winner.

“That constant turmoil killed Caroline,” her close friend admitted.

“She felt like she was being airbrushed out of the show. She said ‘I know that I’m gone. I know that I’m done this is it.'”

Even Caroline’s agent Louisa Booth also saw the devastating impact of losing her gig. Louisa shared: “She [Caroline] just saw the crumbling of everything she’d built.”

Caroline tragically died by suicide aged 40 in February 2020.

Caroline Flack: Search For The Truth is streaming on Disney+.

In the new Disney+ documentary, Caroline Flack’s friend Mollie said: “Throughout this whole thing, Caroline’s worst nightmare was that the body cam footage was going to be released”

Caroline Flack’s “nightmare” fear was that police body cam footage from the night of her fight with Lewis would be shown in court where she appeared “half naked and unhinged”.

On the night of December 12, 2019, Caroline and boyfriend Lewis Burton had both been on night’s out separately enjoying some drinks.

Once they got home they went to bed laughing and joking but after Lewis fell asleep his phone went and it was messages from another woman.

The pair then got into a row and Caroline hit Lewis with a phone before he called 999.

Very sadly, Caroline also told best friend Mollie Grosberg at that moment she felt her boyfriend was “gone” and her career could also be over and so she deliberately self-harmed before the police arrived. This meant there was blood in the room and on their bed.

Police video footage picks up on some of this and the Crime Prosecution Service intended to use the footage in court as evidence, where Caroline would have been facing an assault charge.

In the new Disney+ documentary, friend Mollie said: “Throughout this whole thing, Caroline’s worst nightmare was that the body cam footage was going to be released. It wasn’t because she was scared of what she’d done to Lewis. She was scared because she looks completely and utterly unhinged in this body cam footage.”

Her Lawyer Paul Morris also agrees the body cam footage was a big issue for Caroline.

He said: “This was a snapshot into her private life at its worst. She was covered in blood. She was half naked. She was in a really dark place.”

And her mum Christine said: “It showed her mental health, if you like. She knew it wasn’t going to make her guilty of abuse, but it was going to show her to the outside world how she sometimes felt.”

Her agent Louisa Booth becomes tearful when she thinks about it. Looking back, Louise said: “She kept saying to me, I just can’t have people see the body cam footage. I can’t have my family know that that’s out there. And I just think she was not thinking of herself. I think she’s thinking of other people actually.”

Caroline was clinging to the idea the court case would still be dropped. But she found out it would definitely go ahead on Feb 13.

She messaged her friend: “They won’t drop the case. My life is over. The bodycam. My head is throbbing.”

Her Lawyer Paul Morris said: “This case was prosecuted because, in my view, it would have been more difficult to stop the snowball rolling than it would be to just let it continue. Saving face, I think adequately describes the stance that I think was taken.”

Former head of CPS crown prosecutor Nazir Afzal studies the police documents gathered by Christine and is in no doubt she should only have received a caution.

He tells the documentary: “Having looked at all your evidence I can’t understand why they rushed the judgement. This was a case where there is no previous history, no coercive behaviour. Mr Burton never wanted this case and was adamant. This was a one off occasion where she lost her temper and did what she did, which she accepts. For all of those reasons, the very worst thing that should have happened was a caution.”

He added: “I have prosecuted thousands of these cases, none of this makes sense. Almost immediately in the cold light of day, prosecutors would have formed a view that this case is going nowhere and they should have stopped the case. They are required to stop the case where there is insufficient evidence. I can’t think of any reason to proceed, unless they were scared of what the media were going to say about them. It is not about losing face, this is about justice. My take on it is Caroline would still be with us if certain decisions weren’t taken in that month or two.”

Caroline went into a meltdown after receiving the news, trashing her flat and friends including Mollie rushed there and had to call for an ambulance, but she eventually calmed down and managed to go to sleep.

However she then urged friends to go home the next morning as her sister would be coming to the flat later on February 15.

But her sister Jody arrived at a locked door and the sounds of Caroline’s dog barking. Once inside she learned that Caroline had died.

Caroline’s mum Christine ends the documentary by saying: “I want to stress to anyone feeling that bad, that scared and tired of life, there’s always a way forward.

“You know, you’re not strange. If you have depression, you’re not strange. If you’ve got mental health problems, you’re normal. That’s life, and it’s just helping deal with that and making you feel okay about it, because you know, you should just feel okay about it.”

The better-than-half-price deal is part of the beauty store’s huge Black Friday selection

When it comes to perfumes, few brands are as widely recognised as Yves Saint Laurent. Now, shoppers at Boots can get their hands on a massively reduced bottle of one of the designer fragrances as part of the Black Friday sale.

The Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium Eau de Parfum Over Red has been cut in price and, at the time of writing, was one of the best deals in terms of discount on the Boots website. Originally, the 50ml perfume bottle should cost shoppers £105, but the Black Friday deal cuts that down by more than half to £49, saving shoppers a huge £56.

The Boots website described the perfume as being “captivating, unparalleled in provocation, deliberatively seductive”. It uses notes of black coffee, orange blossom and vanilla from the original YSL Black Opium with a twist of cherry accord and jasmine flower.

There are similar perfumes on offer during Black Friday at other stores. For example, Superdrug has a range of deals, including the Calvin Klein Euphoria for Her (was £82, now £31 for 100ml), and The Perfume Shop has slashed the price of Vera Wang’s popular Princess scent (was £66, now £19.99 for 100ml).

However, dozens of shoppers were pleased with the Boots deal and have been praising the perfume for years. One said: “I always get compliments whilst wearing it.” Another wrote: “Amazing, luxurious and smells divine! This scent is my all-time favourite.”

A third put in their review: “I have fallen in love hard and fast with this perfume. I’ve always been a fan of the original YSL Black Opium and this takes the classic scent to a new level. On my initial wear I thought the cherry in the scent faded quickly on my skin, but hours later a co-worker asked me if I was wearing a new, fruity perfume. I was surprised he could still smell it!”

Someone else said: “This scent is similar to the regular black opium but the cherry adds a fun twist. I get compliments on it all the time.” A fifth shopper suggested: “This is a perfect perfume for winter.”

However, a few shoppers did share some issues they had, with one shopper putting online that the scent was “overpowering and instantly gave [them] a headache”. Someone else warned that they “can’t smell it anymore after 10 minutes”, and a third said: “This reminds me of a cough medicine. If you like this, you will probably love this perfume.”.

However, many people were praising the perfume and claiming that its scent reminded them of an even more expensive one, which is priced at £290 for the 50ml version in Boots. One claimed: “Compared to Tom Ford Lost Cherry, it is slightly sweeter and lasts way longer!”

Maura Higgins has said she ‘wants to be in the best shape of her life’ next year as she dropped big hints about what her next career move could be

Maura Higgins has shared the secret behind her amazing figure as she took part in an Instagram Q&A with fans over the weekend.

The 34-year-old former Love Island star has come a long way since her days as a Formula 1 grid girl. She is now a model, TV presenter and aspiring actress who recently made her film debut in the 2025 Irish comedy film The Spin that has reportedly got Hollywood film bosses talking.

Though she’s always had a good figure, Maura wasn’t shy about telling fans how she sustains it as she posed for her latest snaps in a festive-inspired red and white trim bikini while on holiday in Marrakesh.

Asked how what her ‘ab routine’ was, Maura replied: “I’ve honestly been working my (tiny) ass off in the gym the last few months!! It’s not been easy but this is the best I’ve felt in such a long time!!”

Sharing what workouts she does, Maura continued: “I do a lot of power yoga & pilates!” Dropping a huge hint of what is next for her career wise, she added: “Next year is super super exciting for me so I want to be in the best shape of my life.”

In another question from fans, Maura finally admitted that she does get Botox – despite previously denying having the cosmetic tweakment.

Asked ‘Will you ever talk about skin treatments you have? You are glowing! Xx.’, Maura replied: “When I first got perioral dermatitis I stop getting facials altogether, now it’s just skincare and of course with the help of Botox from the best @drroshoffical.”

Back in 2020, Maura claimed she hadn’t had Botox, telling OK! magazine: “I probably will get Botox some day, but I’m afraid to right now. I don’t want to change myself. I did think about having a boob job a long time ago, but that went out the window.”

She also spoke about wanting a curvier bottom after complaining her bottom was “flat”. She said at the time: “I would like a bigger bum, but I’m never going to have that so there’s no point talking about it. I have a flat bum, but I can’t have everything.”

In 2022, she even joked how she gets compared to Michael Jackson because of her ‘perfect nose’. Speaking during a TV appearance on Shopping With Keith Lemon, Maura shared: “I get trolled. The main thing I get is that I look like Michael Jackson.”

An incredulous Keith replied: “Well you’re the fittest Michael Jackson I’ve ever seen” to which Maura said: “I think it’s because people think I’ve had a nose job. I will admit my nose is very perfect. People would pay a lot of money to have my nose.”

Before she impressed fans with her stint on I’m A Celebrity last year, one cosmetic surgery expert told the Mirror he thought Maura may have had facial contouring on her cheeks and jawline to add definition.

But Maura – who recently won praise for showing fans her grey hairs after revealing she went grey at 18 – has hit back at the speculation telling MailOnline: “I got my lips done three months after coming out of Love Island and lip fillers lasts five to six months. I haven’t had anything done since then, I just let it dissolve.

“But people still assume I’ve had my lips done, Botox, people are even saying I’ve had my nose done when I’ve not actually had any work.

“I had braces on for a long time and since my teeth have moved, they’ve actually pushed my lips out slightly and I feel like I don’t need it. If I were to get my lips down now with my straight teeth, it just wouldn’t be a good look.”

Months after Celebrity Traitors’ filming ended, Jonathan Ross says some of his co-starts still haven’t forgiven him an struggle to accept the shoe was just a game

View 3 Images

Jonathan Ross says some of his co-stars struggle to accept Celebrity Traitors is just a game – and still haven’t forgiven him for not being a Faithful!

The TV star, who last week said that there was no “beef” between him and Ruth Codd despite their on-screen spat, says some haven’t forgiven him for his part in the hit programme. Jonathan was of course a Traitor alongside Cat Burns and eventual winner Alan Carr – but he was the only one not to make the final.

Jonathan was eventually rumbled but didn’t go without a parting shot, pretending his was a Faithful as he left before came clean. He has now claimed that some of the stars are yet to forgive their Traitor counterparts even though filming wrapped months ago.

Chatting In the latest episode of his Reel Talk podcast, he says: “It is a bit weird because there are a couple of people from in there – I’m not gonna name names – who do seem to still, not hold a grudge exactly, but still seem to struggle with accepting that it was just a game, and that the lying and accusations that flew around were all part of the game.

“They are nothing to do with who we are or what we are or how we interact outside of that hothouse environment. But it is kind of weird. I’ve gone on record saying I struggled doing it. It was hard doing it. And those who’ve now seen the final, the emotions you see at the end from someone – I’m not going to name names – you can see how hard we all found it. I think everyone found it.”

He went on to address the issue of other celebs still being a little off about what happened. I hate the word ‘triggering’ because it’s such a common word to use now and I think it’s used too casually,” he said.

“But I think when you’re in a stressful situation you rarely react just because of that situation; there’s almost always other factors that you might not even be aware of – old wounds and fears you might have about how you’re perceived or how you think people see you or how you think you are acting or whether you’re acting quickly.”

There was big news for fans today after it was confirmed Celebrity Traitors will return for a second series next year following its phenomenal debut. More than 12 million people tuned in to see Alan win the show last Thursday, defeating Nick Mohammed, Cat, David Olusoga and Joe Marler in a brilliant final.

Kalpna Patel-Knight, head of entertainment at the BBC, said: “Studio Lambert have done an outstanding job as The Celebrity Traitors has well and truly captivated the nation, becoming a bona fide highlight of the year bringing record numbers of people together to enjoy every twist and turn.

“In 2026 the doors of the castle will be opened again to welcome celebrity players to the game to see who can charm, who can scheme and ultimately who can survive in series two, which promises to be just as unmissable as the first.”

After the nail-biting final, where Alan duped the unsuspecting Faithfuls to snatch the prize pot, speculation is rife about who might join the next series. Even though the dust has barely settled on his victory, several celebs have already expressed interest in participating in a potential second season.
