Leigh-Anne Pinnock has ditched her clothes and posed completely nude in a daring new shoot. The former Little Mix singer recently opened up about her marriage to footballer Andre Gray and explained she felt betrayed by him.

The 34-year-old recently revealed that she was “heartbroken” after “losing trust” in the Fatih Karagümrük centre-forward. Leigh-Anne and Andre married three years ago and now share two children. But she admitted that things hadn’t always been so happy in their marriage.

Andre is said to have “wanted to change” and went to therapy so that they could work on their marriage and rebuild the trust between them. But now, it appears that the Been a Minute musician has shrugged off any concerns as she stripped down for a racy photoshoot.

Posing for Defined Magazine, Leigh-Anne looked sensational as she opened up about her career, having recently signed with a new record label after ditching her old one. One image showed the singer wearing nothing but a pair of black leather-look gloves and high-toed shoes as she carefully protected her modesty.

In another image, Leigh-Anne dazzled in a completely sheer polka-dot gown as she sat on the floor, using her knees and arms to cover her modesty, while offering a seductive gaze towards the camera. But Leigh-Anne later rocked a white bikini top and matching skirt, while completing her look with a pair of thigh-high white boots.

“The process of going solo, then going independent, then doing all of that whilst being a mum – it’s kind of wild,” she told the outlet. Leigh-Anne went on to explain that since going solo from her Little Mix bandmates, she’s “built up” her resilience. “Getting to this point now, where I can release my album, and it’s exactly how I want it to be, it feels amazing,” she said.

Now, having parted ways with Warner Music, after she claimed that the label had no money to release her record, she’s building up to releasing her alubm. However, like Beyoncé’s Sasha Fierce, Leigh-Anne now has an alter ego, who is the “younger version” of herself.

Reflecting on her upcoming solo record, she told the publication: “There’s one lyric on the album where I say, ‘Living my dream in a nightmare’. And I think that is so telling of this industry, how toxic it can be and how it can really chew up and spit out artists. It’s quite brutal.”

But just days before, Leigh-Anne opened up to Paloma Faith on her Mad Sad Bad podcast about her marriage. She explained that she and her husband endured a “weird time” during which he “hurt” her. She said: “I went through a bit of a weird time with my husband, actually, and I think that sort of not being totally honest and losing trust and that kind of betrayal – I think like heartbreak is wild.

“It’s awful and especially someone that you’re so madly in love with and that they can hurt you.” She added that Andre had moved abroad to Greece to play for Aris Thessaloniki but realised he was being “selfish” and went to therapy to change.

“I think that person has to want to change and he did,” Leigh-Anne said. “And I think you can go through things in relationship, but if they aren’t willing to change for you, forget it. They have to do the work and they have to turn it around because again it’s not you, it’s not on you. He went to therapy and I think for us what really helped for us.

“He started playing abroad and he had more time to himself to kind of look and realise that everything that he was doing was not how you make a relationship work, it’s not. It’s selfish.” Prior to this, Leigh-Anne told her TikTok followers in June 2024 that Andre had “broke” her heart, but she stayed with him.

Fashion fans can’t make up their minds about the new Primark trainers

Primark has divided shoppers with new £15 Rita Ora sneakers, as some fashion fans love the ‘cute’ design, but others think they look like ‘PE uniform’. The retailer usually impresses shoppers with its trendy clothing and footwear. However, not everyone is sold on the new Rita Ora Sneakerinas.

Available in black or natural, the shoes are described as ‘mesh ballet trainers with toggle elastics and self-fastening straps.’ Fans of ‘balletcore’, a fashion trend inspired by dancewear, could be pirouetting their way to Primark for the new style. The popular style has taken over the catwalk in recent years, with big-name design houses including Simone Rocha and JW Anderson seemingly drawing inspiration from ballerinas.

As such, Primark’s offering could be perfect for high street shoppers looking to join in with the trend. The product description for the shoes reads: “Step into effortless sport-luxe style with the Rita Ora Sneakerinas — a modern fusion of ballet elegance and athletic ease. These mesh ballet trainers offer comfort, while the toggle elastic detail ensures a secure, customisable fit.

“Self-fastening straps add extra support and a sleek, wrapped look that moves with you. Flexible, and designed for all-day wear, they’re the perfect choice for everything from studio workouts to on-the-go days when you want comfort without compromising style.”

Based on the reaction on social media, the style won’t be for everyone, though. There was a mixed response to the shoes when a shopper named Ellan Mangham posted a TikTok video under the handle @Ellanmangham, starting a debate about the style

Noticing the similarity between the sneakers and dance shoes, Ellan wrote: “What in the jazz shoe is happening??!” In response to the video, which gained over 200k views and 14k likes, several commenters questioned the design.

Commenting under the post, one viewer thought: “Ermm it’s giving PE uniform,” and a second response said: “It’s giving lost property PE uniform.” A similar comment read: “Anyone remember those plimsols from school?”

Someone else joked: “When you have the gym at eight and a performance of Riverdance at lunch.” A viewer agreed: “These remind of of the little leather shoes my daughter used to wear in Irish dance lol.” Another reply said: “5 6 7 hate,” and someone commented: “I see the vision, but it’s not in the delivery.”

However, several commenters defended the new shoes and praised the look. One fan said they would wear the trainers in the summer months. She explained: “I would wear them for gym in the summer.. definitely!”

Offering their perspective, another fan wrote: “I kinda like them. Sporty vibe but also cute.” A different viewer agreed: “I think they’re cute,” and someone else wrote: “But but but …. I do like them.”

There was more praise from an excited shopper who commented: “Aint gonna lie they’re cute still.” A fan wrote: “Ngl the right person could definitely pull this off. It’s genuinely not the worst thing I’ve seen.”

Emmerdale’s Dominic Brunt is a soap legend and it turns out he has a very famous wife

Emmerdale’s Paddy Kirk actor Dominic Brunt has a rather famous wife and fans will know who she is.

Dominic has played loveable vet Paddy on the ITV soap since 1997. And it didn’t take him long to become one of the show’s most iconic and adored characters. As Paddy, Dominic has been involved in several big storylines in the Dales too over the years: from the character’s shock affairs to the heartbreaking loss of his child.

And over in the soap recently, Paddy discovered the horrifying truth that his dad Bear Wolf (Joshua Richards) had been trafficked and forced to work on a nearby farm, run by evil Celia Daniels (Jaye Griffiths) and Ray Walters (Joe Absolom).

In Friday’s episode (January 8) the police told Paddy that after they visited the farm, the attic that housed the slaves, was empty, suggesting Bear might have ran away. However, they then wanted Paddy to “expect the worst”.

Away from the soap though, Dominic is happily married and a father to two children. But some fans have recently been left stunned after learning who his wife is. Dominic is married to Joanne Mitchell who is also well known to soap lovers as she has made a number of appearances on Emmerdale and Coronation Street.

Actors Dominic and Joanne met while attending drama school in Bristol. They tied the knot in 2003 and share two sons, Mickey-Joe and Danny Lee. Joanne has starred in several award-winning shows and even appeared in Emmerdale multiple times.

She has played four roles on the show to date, starting with Susan Davies, followed by a midwife named Yeo. Up next were the more challenging roles such as DS Karen Barnborough and most recently Sandra Flaherty, the mother and stepmother of Liv Flaherty (Izzy Steel ) and Aaron Dingle (Danny Miller).

Recently, a photo of Dominic and Joanne made its rounds on an Emmerdale Facebook fan page. Captioned: “Dominic Brunt and his wife Joanne Mitchell,” the snap left plenty of people shocked over their real-life romance.

“Wow I didn’t know he is married to Liv’s mum in real life,” said one person as someone else added: “That’s who that is!” A third fan chimed in: “Fine actor. But I never knew his wife was Liv’s Mum in Emmerdale!” Echoing their thoughts, another person wrote: “So shocked Sandra is his off-screen wife.”

In 2022, Joanne spoke about working with Dominic on Emmerdale, telling Inside Soap: “I haven’t seen Dominic at the studios yet since I’ve been back this time.

It’s fun to be on the same show but I’ve not actually worked with him yet. We haven’t had any scenes together as our characters live separate lives in the village.”

Emmerdale is on ITV1 weeknights at 7pm and ITVX

Strictly Come Dancing professional Dianne Buswell and YouTube star Joe Sugg have shared an emotional update with fans as they prepare to welcome their first child together.

Posting on YouTube, the pair revealed that their latest Vlogmas series will be their last as a duo, with Joe telling viewers that next Christmas will look very different for them as a family of three.

Closing the final instalment of the vlog, Joe became reflective as he thanked fans for their continued support. “That, is it. The end of the vlog and the end of Vlogmas,” he said. “This is two or three years in a row now, I can’t remember, but I just want to say thank you very much to everybody that has watched these vlogs, followed them along, followed the build-up to Christmas Day.”

He went on to describe how meaningful the tradition has been for him, adding: “Thank you very much, it’s been fun. It’s always an absolute joy to do. I love it. Being able to watch back on memories, especially around such a lovely time of year. So, thank you for having interest in it and being a part of your day.”

Joe then hinted at the major life change ahead, telling viewers he expected the year to come to bring something new. “I will see you all in the new year in 2026, which I am predicting is going to be quite a different year to our normal years,” he said, before delivering the heartfelt update. “This is the end of the last Vlogmas that we’ll ever do as a two. This time next year there will be three of us.”

The couple announced their pregnancy in September, sharing a video on Instagram that showed them painting together on a canvas. After several brushstrokes, they revealed a simple illustration of two stick figures holding hands with a smaller figure between them, alongside the date “2026”.

Soundtracked by Sir Elton John’s Tiny Dancer , the post was captioned: “Our little baby boy. We cannot wait to meet you.”

The announcement prompted an outpouring of congratulations from across the Strictly Come Dancing family. Judges Shirley Ballas and Motsi Mabuse, as well as professional dancer Johannes Radebe, were among those sending their well wishes. Fellow dancer Amy Dowden wrote: “Still screaming, dancing and celebrating! So so happy for you both! Magical. Auntie Ames can’t wait.”

Documentary-maker Stacey Dooley, who found love on the show with Kevin Clifton and now shares a daughter called Minnie with him, responded enthusiastically, writing: “YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES.”

Buswell and Sugg first met when they were paired on the 16th series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2018, later confirming their relationship off the dancefloor. Buswell recently competed in the latest series of the show, having won the glitterball trophy last year alongside comedian Chris McCausland, the programme’s first blind winner.

Fans were quick to share support for the couple on YouTube. One user wrote: “Congratulations Joe on completing Vlogmas. I have really enjoyed watching you and Dianne preparing your little boy’s room and sharing your own memories of childhood.”

New Year new me might be the mantra of many in January, but one thing that’s stayed the same is Susanna Reid’s dedication to stylish workwear. The Good Morning Britain presenter has long been known for her impeccable wardrobe, wearing pieces that not only look great on TV, but are wearable enough for the rest of us to copy for the office.

And one of her latest outfits is no exception, with Susanna wearing Hobbs’ Violet Dress during Wednesday’s episode. The fitted shirt dress is an effortless choice for wearing to work, and it’s just been slashed in the January sale by 55%, bringing it down from £159 to just £71.10.

Huge £90 saving aside, this is a dress that’s well worth snapping up if you spend a lot of time in the office. Its vibrant purple shade brings a pop of colour without being too bold, and the easy, effortless silhouette means it’s comfortable enough to sit at a desk all day whilst still looking smart and put together.

The Violet Dress has a shirt dress design, with a button fastening through the front and a tie waist belt that lets you cinch it in to create a flattering silhouette. It also brings a little bit of a cool factor with utility pockets.

Although it’s a great staple to keep on hand for work, you could also easily wear the Violet Dress for events or occasions, like a day at the races, a wedding or party. It’s also great for wearing all year round; you can layer with tights and even a jumper in winter, or go bare legged in some sandals for the summer.

If you want something a little warmer that’s perfect for autumn and winter, this Brown Cord Balloon Sleeve Montego Midi Dress from Nobody’s Child is £99, but the code EXTRA15 will get you 15% off. If you love a print, we’re also a fan of Roman’s Red Geometric Stretch Midi Shirt Dress (£42) and Boden’s Smocked Jersey Shirt Dress (£119) which are both elegant, stylish and totally office-ready.

However, fans of Susanna’s Violet Dress can still snap it up in all sizes, except a 14 which is currently out of stock. It also comes in both regular and petite lengths for the perfect fit.

Hobbs shoppers have been praising the dress too, with one saying: “Love the dress. It fits perfectly. I really like the colour too.”

Another wrote: “Good colour. Good fit.” However one did mention: “Good quality smart too long.”

Katie Price has reportedly split from her boyfriend JJ Slater, just hours after admitting she no longer needs a man in her life.

It’s thought the former glamour model ended the two-year relationship because she couldn’t see a future.

Sources said the problems had become ‘too obvious to ignore’, despite Katie shooting down reports of a break up.

Speaking on the latest episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show, the star explained how years ago she was “afraid of being on my own” but that was no longer the case.

She said: “Years ago, I was always afraid of being on my own. If I want a man, it’s because I want them.”

A source said Katie had ‘doubts’ for some time over the relationship but hoped things would improve.

A source told the Mail Online: ‘She’s now accepted the relationship will not end with her walking down the aisle for a fourth time.

‘JJ was left disappointed and has already packed his bags and moved back to his home in Essex.

‘He genuinely saw a future with Katie, but it seems she ultimately had a very different outlook.’

Katie began dating JJ – who appeared on the 2023 series of Married At First Sight UK – soon after her split from Carl Woods.

In December, she was forced to deny the pair had parted ways.

Katie posed for a photo with JJ’s family on Boxing Day this year, proving she and the reality star were going strong. In a photo obtained by the Sun, mum-of-five Katie could be seen beaming as she wore a cosy, cream-coloured beanie, as she sat among JJ’s nearest and dearest.

Katie admitted in August that they still don’t live together after two years of dating. Following on from more split rumours, OnlyFans star Katie addressed their relationship in an episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show.

Speaking to her younger sister Sophie, Katie said she was designing her own house and that JJ wasn’t involved in that process. She explained: “People have to realise JJ owns his own house and he owns his flat.

“He rents his flat out and his house is like a new build, like a show home. I can’t remember the last time I went there. He actually has got a good eye.”
