Robbie Williams fears he’s ‘going blind after taking skinny jabs’

Robbie Williams has claimed his vision is blurry and “getting worse”, which he blames on the jabs he has taken to aid his weight loss. The singer says he is an early adapter of ‘skinny jabs’, which some use for weight loss.

However, the singer is convinced the Mounjaro jabs could be bad for his eyesight. He recalled how during his recent shows, he sings She’s The One to a girl – but confesses he has been struggling to see them and thus it has left him concerned.

“I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research,” he said, “I was quite an early adapter of the jabs but what I’m also noticing is that my eyesight’s not very good.

“It’s been blurry for a while now, and it’s only getting worse. I don’t believe it’s age; I believe it’s the jabs. I went to an American football game the other night and the players were just blobs on a green field in front of me.”

Robbie went on to explain he had to buy new glasses and admits he has been worried by it all.

“My prescription’s changed, and I had to buy a whole new load of glasses. Everybody’s experiencing it, because I’ll say to people, ‘Blurry, right?’. And they go, ‘Oh s**t, that the thing?'” he told The Sun.

“Of course it’s worrying and by being honest today, obviously I want to warn people reading this of the potential risks, to make sure they do their research. But seriously, I’m that sick I’d probably stay on it until the sight in one eye has completely gone.”

Mounjaro maker Lilly said: “Patient safety is our top priority. We have ongoing discussions with regulators regarding potential safety topics, and we will continue to review data, including any regarding ophthalmic issues. If anyone is experiencing side- effects when taking a Lilly medicine, they should talk to their doctor or healthcare professional.”

Robbie went on to explain he has been struggling with his mental health for some time but says taking the jabs have helped him improve his physical health – and thus his mental health too.

He says he now is able to do 100 dips, 200 press ups and 100 squats every day as well as working on his core. His next aim is being able to do pull-ups.

Strictly’s George Clarke confirms relationship with lingerie model

George Clarke, 25, has gone Instagram official with his lingerie model girlfriend, Yasmin Amelia, as the couple made their red carpet debut at the TikTok awards

George Clarke, 25, who has already won the nation’s hearts with his cha cha cha, made his relationship official with his lingerie model girlfriend at the TikTok awards on Thursday night. The pair, looking loved-up, walked the red carpet together at Magazine London in North Greenwich.

George, nominated for Creator of the Year and highly commended for it, didn’t hesitate to introduce his girlfriend Yasmin Amelia to his friends. Yasmin, signed to J’adore Models agency, also boasts nearly 40,000 followers on Instagram.

The couple shared a kiss as they posed for photos with fellow creator Max Balegde, 26, and his boyfriend and influencer, Andrew Spanndy. When asked about his celebration plans, George said: “I’ve got to get up at 7am tomorrow, I ‘ve got to get home to bed.”

“It’s getting a lot tougher but I feel like I know what I am doing a lot more now.”

Dressed in a navy pinstripe suit and white shirt, Yasmin chose a white lace off-the-shoulder gown. George was announced as the sixth celebrity contestant for Strictly Come Dancing 2025.

Yasmin, speaking about the event, told the Mail: “This is a whole new world to me.”

George’s showbiz roots run deeper than his online personality, as his father is the studio boss at an iconic British production company. George’s dad is Sean Clarke, the managing director of Aardman Animations – the studio behind the British institution Walla.

His dad, Sean, who started his career at the company in 1998, has climbed the ranks to co-produce Early Man and the two Shaun The Sheep films. In 2019, he was announced as the new boss of the entire operation.

While children often look to their parents for inspiration, Sean has previously confessed that his son’s YouTube success inspired him to make changes at Aardman.

Born and bred in the UK, George began dabbling with video content as a teenager, quickly realising the power of humour and honesty to connect with people globally.

Since then, he has built a successful digital career with millions of followers on YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, attracted by his authenticity and sharp comedic voice. He also co-hosts The Useless Hotline Podcast, which has become so popular it has led to a series of live shows across the UK.

Before joining the dancing show, fans speculated that he was dating model Yasmin during a live stream on social media. However, last night, the pair made their relationship red carpet official.

This comes after George admitted earlier this week that his upcoming routine on Strictly Come Dancing means “so much more” than just the routine. The YouTube star is gearing up to perform a Rumba on Saturday’s edition of the BBC competition alongside professional partner Alexis Warr.

They will perform to Lily Allen’s cover of Keane classic Somewhere Only We Know, which his sister performed at his grandfather’s funeral, but as George appeared on Wednesday’s edition of the spin-off series It Takes Two, he emotionally explained that he has been struggling to ‘not put pressure’ on himself because he knows how much it will all mean to his family.

He said: “It definitely will be. Especially considering the past few weeks have been much much more ‘ok I can do the steps but can I perform?’ I feel like the steps are very important but the performance is everything to me because it’s a song that means a lot to me and my family. And yeah it is hard this week to not put the pressure on myself because it is a dance that I want to get right even more so.”

George has consistently been at the higher end of the leader board throughout his time in the competition so far, but admitted ahead of his next challenge that it can all feel ‘really strange’ to him because performing isn’t something he’s necessarily used to.

He said: “It’s really strange, the whole sort of performing side of it because that’s not something I do.”

The Traitors star drops Charlotte Chilton baby bombshell as he vows to tell ‘truth’

The Traitors star Jonny Holloway has spoken in length on the Charlotte Chilton paternity twist and has revealed that he has asked for a DNA test to establish whether he is the father of her daughter

Charlotte Chilton’s Traitors co-star Jonny Holloway has spoken in length about claims he is the father of her daughter Penelope. Charlotte has spoken out multiple times about Conor Maynard being the dad, which he has denied.

A second name was then thrown into the mix following Conor’s constant denials and two paternity tests confirming he isn’t the father. It has now been revealed that her co-star Jonny Holloway also claimed he slept with her around a similar time.

However, Charlotte has denied sleeping with Jonny. He claimed that he has asked for a DNA test – but she has since changed her mind, according to Jonny, and won’t discuss the paternity with him.

“If I was the father I would step up and take that child as my own. Relations took place on a drunken night out. I was heavily intoxicated at the time. I’ve asked for a DNA test several times but have been ignored,” he told the Daily Mail.

“I’m a man of values and standards, I come from a military background. I pride myself on having respect and being a good dad to my children.” Jonny also said he contacted Charlotte and asked for a DNA test.

He added: “I said to Charlotte, ‘Look we both know what happened here. Should we do a DNA test because of what has happened?’ Originally she said yes. When it came to me setting it up, I haven’t heard back from her since. I don’t know what is going on.

The Mirror have contacted Charlotte’s representatives for comment.

Almost two years ago, Charlotte gave birth to her daughter Penelope. She claimed Conor was the father, while he insisted he wasn’t. This led to a lengthy battle in which Conor took a DNA test that said he was not the father, and then, at Charlotte’s insistence, took another with the same result.

In a recent interview when she broke down in tears, Charlotte said: “I know for a fact that the only person who can be my daughter’s father is Conor Maynard.”

Conor then appeared to mock Charlotte’s interview, by posting a video in which he said: “Here’s an invisible tissue for your invisible tears.” He captioned the video with: “My response to the most recent news…” He then played a new song, in which he tells the subject of the song to “please shut up”.

Later, he took to social media again to claim that another Traitors star was a possible father of Penelope, which she has said is impossible as they didn’t sleep together.

Charlotte has said that she “categorically knows” that Conor is the “only person” her daughter could have come from.

Strictly’s La Voix drops huge hint over future career – ‘not going to say no’

EXCLUSIVE: Strictly Come Dancing star La Voix has opened up about her time on the show and the nerves she feels ahead of the Blackpool special, as well as a potential presenting role

As one of Britain’s most recognisable drag performers, known for her powerhouse vocals, glittering gowns, comedic timing, and uncanny impersonations of icons like Liza Minnelli and Shirley Bassey, La Voix – the stage persona of Chris Dennis – has spent years commanding cabaret stages, selling out theatres, and appearing in television and film.

Yet stepping into the glittering ballroom of Strictly Come Dancing has been a new challenge.

The idea of stepping into the presenting shoes of Tess Daly or Claudia Winkleman excites her, after viewers have enjoyed all her hilarious quips and one-liners over the weeks and she says: “Strictly is the golden show of the BBC and I think anyone who’s in the presenting world is going to want to do that show. Of course, if the opportunity arose and I was asked to do it, I’m not going to say, no, am I? That would be the opportunity of a lifetime.”

“And I was very focused on making it very clear that I wanted that a few weeks ago. But now I think I need to buckle down and get the dancing learned – otherwise, I might be out quicker than I get the interview.”

La Voix is also conscious of the significance of having a drag act on mainstream television. Reflecting on this, she shares: “There’s a lot of people who grew up with Lily Savage, Dame Edna Everage and also people like Mrs Merton, with Mrs Brown’s Boys on the television, it’s very popular family fun entertainment. Sometimes people see it as a risk, but it’s been done in the past and it was a golden age of television and it’d be wonderful to see that come back.”

Her journey has not been without moments of tension. After last week’s dance-off, she admits: “I thought, ‘Well, this is it. I’m going home.’ And I stood on that dance floor just before we did our final dance, and I looked at all the lights and the Strictly logos and the judges and I thought, ‘This is the last time I’m going to see all of this’. To be saved by the judges genuinely shocked me to the core.”

Looking ahead to Blackpool, she hopes to combine her comedic flair with technical skill: “I think if I do get to Blackpool, I want to really hone in on my strength, which is the comedy, the bravado, the big, larger than life bubbly character.”

“If I go home now, I’ve got further than I ever thought I would. I’d be massively disappointed, but I’d be very proud of my journey. But I’d love to make the quarters, semi, or grand final. And I think it’s so close, I’m driven to see if I could actually get there.”

And this week’s performance – a huge musical number set to Don’t Rain on My Parade – is particularly personal to her, which she expresses with warmth as she shares: “When I was a kid, my Dad used to love Barbra Streisand and all these big icons. And that’s where my love of music and singing came from. For this, we’re channeling that song as my sort of childhood passion.”

When La Voix decided to make the move out of RuPaul’s Drag Race and into Strictly Come Dancing, she thought she’d be gone by some point in October.

But now, as she prepares to perform her Couples’ Choice with partner Aljaz Skorjanec in week eight, she has her eyes firmly set on the Blackpool special.

She admits: “I was thinking maybe week two or three, four or five maybe, if I’m really lucky. To still be in on week eight and looking at Blackpool is mind-blowing for me, and so exciting. I just can’t thank people who voted enough. I’m having the time of my life and I’m finding it all very healing strangely, from having had a lack of self-belief.”

Justin Bieber in agony as he details gruesome injury that affects his singing

Justin Bieber has revealed that he is in ‘agony’ after suffering a gruesome injury that is ‘f*****g with him’ every time he tries to sing, just days after attending the GQ after-party bash in Los Angeles

Justin Bieber has revealed that he’s been left in excruciating pain every time he tries to sing after suffering a nasty injury this week. The 31 year old singer shared on his Twitch livestream with friends that he had taken a tumble off a one-wheel and injured his hip.

A one-wheel is essentially a self-balancing electric skateboard with a single motorised wheel, where riders stand on footpads either side of the wheel and control it by leaning forward to speed up and backwards to slow down. In a video clip posted on Instagram, the pop star told his mates: “My rib hurts so f*****g bad, bro, you saw it happen, right? That s**t bro is hurting me bad, bro, I’m trying to play it cool, bro, this s**t is f*****g with me.”

He then faced the camera, adding: “Chad I f*****g fell on my side on that one-wheel and landed on my (hip), so even singing, laughing, everything hurts. This comes after Justin and his wife, Hailey Bieber, 28, were spotted at the star-studded GQ afterparty in Los Angeles on Thursday.”

The American model turned heads in a stunning sequined Gucci gown as she stepped out of her chauffeur-driven car alongside pop sensation Justin for their appearance at the Bird Street Club event. Meanwhile, Justin chose a more laid-back look, donning a white tank top and black denim jeans with a brown belt.

The celebrity guests at the GQ event adhered to a dress code which was 90s Hollywood Red Carpet. Alongside Hailey, the party was also co-hosted by Sydney Sweeney, Stephen Colbert, Seth Rogen, SZA, Oscar Isaac, Clipse and GQ’s Global Editorial Director Will Welch. The Rhode founder recently appeared on the cover of GQ for the magazine’s Men of the Year 30th-anniversary issue.

During her chat with the magazine, the model opened up about motherhood and her marriage to the Peaches singer. Regarding their relationship being in the public eye, Hailey said she was ‘comfortable’ with how they are handling their public romance.

“We’re just taking it a day at a time,” she shared. “We both feel very protective of our son, and I don’t think that’s ever going to change, but our life is our life and it is really public, so I think we’re just going to cross every bridge that we need to when we get there.”

Hailey and Justin welcomed their son Jack Blues in August 2024. She added, “But as of right now, I feel really comfortable about the way we are sharing things and not sharing things.”

Elsewhere in the interview, the star also talked about motherhood while hinting at possibly having a second child with husband Justin. “I don’t think there’s anything someone can tell you about it that will ever, ever, ever prepare you until you do it yourself,” Hailey expressed.

However, after welcoming her first child last year, the model said: “But I feel much more prepared to do it again, as opposed to how not prepared I felt doing it for the first time. And I think for me personally, there’s so much unknown to it, but so much happens, so much changes and you evolve in a totally different way that you would never be able to prepare for until you do it,” she shared.

In October, Hailey opened up about her desire to expand her family with Justin during an appearance on the In Your Dreams With Owen Thiele podcast.

“I know I want more than one,” the star revealed. “I always knew I wanted to be a mum, though. Since I was a little kid, I always envisioned myself having kids. You know what’s funny? The older I’ve gotten and now that I have a child, I think any decision anyone makes about having them or not having them is totally amazing.”

Paddy McGuinness fumes ‘it’s a disgrace’ as he’s snubbed for Vernon Kay live on air

Paddy McGuinness was left fuming as he revealed he’d been snubbed by BBC Radio 2 listeners, who had sent in messages of support for Sara Cox’s Great Northern Marathon Challenge

Paddy McGuinness branded one issue a “disgrace” after revealing live on air that he’d been overlooked whilst standing in for Vernon Kay’s morning programme on BBC Radio 2, as the regular host attended his wife Tess Daly’s MBE ceremony. During a recent broadcast (November 12), the Phoenix Nights comedian shared messages of encouragement from listeners, who’d contacted the show to send their best wishes to fellow radio presenter Sara Cox.

Sara is currently tackling the 135-mile Great Northern Marathon Challenge, a journey across four counties over five days that is due to conclude today (Friday, November 14) in Pudsey, Leeds, to raise money for Children in Need.

However, Paddy, who conquered his own Children in Need challenge last year, was left distinctly unimpressed that most messages submitted by listeners had been directed to Vernon, despite his absence from the studio that day.

Paddy shared a supportive message from a listener called Janette, who, after greeting the Take Me Out presenter with a “morning, Paddy”, disclosed she’d contributed £20 to back Sara’s challenge.

He commented: “Oh, thank you so much for that, Janette, and also, Janette, thanks for acknowledging me cos I’ve been getting messages for Vernon all morning. It’s a disgrace, this.”

Before her epic journey, Sara, who presents Radio 2’s Teatime Show throughout the week, shared the guidance that she’d been given by Paddy and Vernon, who also previously tackled a Children in Need challenge in 2023.

Speaking to the MEN, she said: “Vernon, whenever I see him, just goes, ‘Go on and run up a hill!’. And I’m like, ‘Okay, Vernon, thanks, but I’m just about to go on air.’

“But that’s part of the training as well, it’s just going looking like a mad woman in my local park and just legging it up a hill and then back down again, just confusing all three dogs off the lead like, ‘What the hell’s she doing?’

“So Vernon, that is true, you do need to do some hill work, so I have been doing that anyway. And. Paddy’s been really good with the other side of it, just saying to block out all the noise, you know.”

Meanwhile, Paddy will front Children in Need this evening alongside Mel Giedroyc, Rochelle Humes, Lenny Rush, Big Zuu and Vernon.

He spoke to the BBC about how the occasion unites everyone with “one common goal”.

He said: “Being a dad makes me very aware of how precious children are. Childhood should be a time of innocence and fun. If there’s any way I can help to give them that, then I will.”

Paddy, who generated a staggering £10.5million for the charity last year through his endeavours, explained that the shared objective is “making a child’s life better”.
