Countryfile star Anita Rani says she doesn’t want to “jinx” her new relationship as she admits she would consider tying the knot with her new boyfriend. Anita, 48, split from ex-husband Bhupi Rehal in 2023.
She admitted to finding her new boyfriend Alex Lavery “fun and fit” as well as a “beautiful soul” last year when she went public with him. Attending festivals like Green Man and Glastonbury together, Alex and Anita rekindled their musical passion.
And this year the couple plan to spend Christmas together, although Anita admits they will have an “open-door policy” for their friends. Speaking to Fabulous magazine, she says she wants to “do something wild and spread some good vibes”.
When questioned about the possibility of a second wedding, Anita replies that the couple are “having a nice time.” She continued, “You know, when you meet someone who is vibrant and you think, “Alright, it’s on.
We’re having a good time, I promise not to jinx it. We’ll see if. [I’m not sure how I feel about getting married once more.] I don’t believe I should adhere to any rules.
Anita, who starred alongside her father in Celebrity Race Across the World, claims she is currently in “rad space.” She claims that having a life on her own is “incredibly important” for women, and that this is how she describes it.
She has previously discussed the “dark year” following her marriage’s breakdown. She told Woman magazine, “It’s been a very dark, very traumatic year. I’ll just be taking a moment to reflect on what I have.
Following the split, she admitted that she felt like her life was a ” blank slate “.
She continued, “I feel like I’ve entered a place I’ve never, ever expected to be.” I’m in unknown territory. Do you know what I’m an Asian woman who lives alone and doesn’t have any children? I adore it! I feel really good about having a blank slate in front of me.
Anita acknowledges that getting divorced as a Punjabi woman wasn’t simple, despite the fact that the couple simply sat at odds with one another.

She acknowledges that divorced women are frequently viewed as “pariahs” and claims that it is viewed as “quite a big deal.”
Since the split, Anita claims that she has received numerous compliments from other women. The Women’s Hour presenter acknowledges that more and more of her own guests have been “challenging social norms.”

Rylan Clark humorously questioned “what is wrong with me” after confessing his spending habits. The Radio 2 star quipped that he was single-handedly keeping “that A to Z place in business” due to his frequent online shopping.
Rylan admitted to purchasing a robot vacuum recently online, and this was revealed. The famous person also admits to using someone to clean his home after recently revealing his purchase of a “work-flat” in central London.
After telling the audience he wanted to purchase an intercom for the property, Rylan confessed to making the confession. He claimed, “I don’t know what’s wrong with me, I ordered a robot hoover yesterday when I had a cleaner with me.”
He continued to joke that he had a parcel box at his home to prevent him from missing his scheduled deliveries, saying, “I have one at my house because I pretty much do that every day.”
Rylan further disclosed that he also owns a robot lawnmower at his Essex home, which he has amusingly named in honour of a BBC icon. The star said: “I call him Alan Techmarsh. He’s a love, I love him. Honestly, I set him off and he does all the lines in the grass and makes it look nice. I love him. Alan Techmarsh, I love him, he’s my favourite pet.”
Rylan revealed to Hunger magazine in August that he had purchased his fourth home in central London, a “work-flat.” His mother Linda, who frequently appears on the star’s social media accounts, was the subject of his previous “fixer-upper” purchase.
He also owns a breathtaking five-bedroom mansion in Essex, where he records Celebrity Gogglebox alongside Linda. In fact, he credits the Channel 4 programme with inspiring him to transform his home in 2023, softening the previously minimalist interior.
He explained to House Beautiful that the choice came about as a result of a significant personal transformation. This is my second home, according to Ryan, 37. With just one color in every room in my first home, everything was white and everything was grey.
However, I put polished concrete floors on the house to make it look ultra-modern. But then I had a minor life change, and I went from cool white to warm white, silver to gold, greens, and all the while it’s all much warmer.
This isn’t the first time Rylan has opened up about the details of his residence. The Eurovision presenter also posted photographs of his home on Instagram earlier this year, giving fans a peek into his private sanctuary.
The former Celebrity Big Brother star discussed his diary room inspired by the reality show, and thoughtful design touches that enabled him to make the space his own. He revealed: “We all know how much I’m obsessed by Big Brother and I have nothing better to do with my time so I built a diary room. It’s quite like the diary room as well – which is exciting. Some people sell stuff on eBay from Big Brother – fair enough things are being thrown away but I think it’s naughty. They should put it in a museum or something.”
According to The Express, Rylan frequently posts photos of himself enjoying himself with his friends and family while also having a mirrored walk-in dressing room and impressive pool house. The luxurious space is enhanced and extended by the naturally lit space, which is decorated with white walls and grey tiles.
A gorgeous outdoor area, complete with a patio with cream outdoor sofas, a monochrome rug, and its own fire pit, are also available at the lavish property. Additionally, it is said to have a separate bar and party area.

Jamie Oliver has revealed that a demanding new hobby is “extraordinary”, but also the “most challenging thing” he’s ever done. Jamie’s remarks emerged in a recent chat with Zoe Ball during a broadcast of her BBC Radio 2 show on November 29, in which she asked the Naked Chef star how his “flying” was going, much to Jamie’s surprise.
Zoe, when asked how she knew, explained that she’d been informed that he was learning to fly, prompting Jamie to share candid insights into his “extraordinary” hobby, including the rigorous training he must undergo.
He opened up about the “incredible community” that he’s now involved in, but conceded that it’s a difficult pursuit.
He even claimed that he must pass nine exams, aside from the practical ones.
It’s not what you believe it to be, Jamie said. It’s a wonderful community, but I believe it to be the most difficult thing I’ve ever done and what I’ve learned. I recently took seven exams; There are still two more to go. It is extraordinary. “
The majority of us have done everything, he continued, but people haven’t really been flying in a while, so… I’ve got some old tin that’s probably even older than me. “
As Jamie noted that it was one of the most “extraordinary things” he’s ever undertaken, Zoe reacted with the “crazy thing” that some planes are like “Mini with two like ironing boards.
According to Jamie, “I do believe having time for hobbies is really important.” I’ve been doing multitasking for 35 years, and I’m already exhausted. And flying is the only thing I can think about while doing that; Otherwise, I would pass away. “
In other news, celebrity chef Jamie, known for shows such as Jamie’s One-Pan Wonders, Jamie’s Easy Christmas, and Jamie: Eat Yourself Healthy, revealed one vegetable that he prefers to buy frozen.
Despite also buying the green fresh (and reportedly growing it at home), he hailed the frozen alternative, dubbing it “incredible” and “fantastic for curries and breads” in an Instagram post.

Jamie, a dad-of-five with wife Juliette Norton (aka Jools), sang the praises of spinach. He said: “So I buy fresh spinach, I grow fresh spinach and I always buy frozen spinach.
Simply adding an extra little cube to a stew or soup is a fantastically brilliant idea, and this is incredible and fantastic for curries and breads. “
The Miranda and Call the Midwife star is back from a five-year break and utterly in love with her.

I Haven’t Been Entirely Honest With You, her tell-all book, was called that. However, Miranda Hart, a comic, is now completely honest when she claims she no longer desires fame and that things should be kept simple. She says, “I just woke up and thought, ‘right, what am I going to do today?'” It spends time with my husband, watching television, and walking the dog. Because of that, I find life to be much more liberated and happier. I adore living in such a simple way.
While Miranda dominated the sitcom industry, Call the Midwife’s Chummy made her famous. However, this excellent British comedian has taken a five-year break from television. And she has changed as a result of her ongoing battle with Lyme disease, which was revealed in her memoir earlier this year. She resents the phrase “when an illness takes everything from your life.” It made me think things like “you are not what you do” and “you can’t take it with you” and all those other things. It was so simple to hear. You don’t realize how real suffering is until you are older and are facing it. Life is currently pretty good. I believe that’s because I excel at taking several days at once.

I believe that living in a manageable way is what I should have done. I’m not rushing around doing things that no longer matter to me, which is to say that it has its challenges. Simply put, it is simple and calm. Miranda, 52, spent years avoiding public awareness of her battle with Lyme disease, a bacterial infection that can spread to humans by infected ticks. She explained how it had been undiagnosed for 33 years in her autobiography.
In her teens, when her family lived in Virgina, USA, a tick bite caused extreme fatigue, recurrent infections, joint pain, and cognitive difficulties in the years that followed. Prior to that, agoraphobia and other debilitating weakness were mistaken for chronic fatigue syndrome (CNY) and myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME).
She finally fell asleep at home, becoming bedbound at her worst. She eventually received reactivated Lyme disease in 2020 while she was “feeling” alone in the “dark” of isolation during the Covid pandemic, which was a great relief. One of the hardest things about these kinds of conditions is to be misunderstood and misjudged, she says.
She was forced to make a stock decision, and she is now more content than ever. Being known for playing a very jolly, playful character, which is obviously part of me, “she says,” was very interesting. then collapsing with illness and completely unable to be that. That was what I actually felt. There was a feeling like you have to be “on” before I became ill. You must fit that mold, I suppose. Although it was expected, you were also a character and a part, of course.
Becoming reflective, as her illness took hold, she realised she’d worked so hard in her 20s and 30s that she’d lost her sense of joy. She says: “I had this full circle moment. I realised I had been writing a character whose mission is to play and to tell the adult world to play and be silly, but I was fearful the second series would not do as well as the first and I got looped into the whole success of it. I lost my ‘play’. I lost joy by getting serious about my work. I wish I had not been so quite stressed about the series, but you feel you have to keep going and not let yourself or the audience down.”
Miranda’s most notable TV appearances came in January 2020, when she celebrated Miranda’s tenth birthday with the celebratory special show Miranda: My Such Fun Celebration. She also occasionally hosts chat shows. The semi-autobiographical series’ success was celebrated with the career-defining television program, which launched her 20-year career in television in 2001 with a number of sitcoms, including Channel 4’s Smack The Pony.
It sounds strange, considering her comedy repertoire, to hear Miranda say that she lacked the confidence to act as a youngster. She describes her “foolish” shyness during her university years. “I did know always what I wanted to do,” she says. “I had this weird moment when I was seven, looking at comedians on the television, and I was so excited by adults playing and their silliness and joy. I just remember saying ‘If that is a job, that is what I want to do’. I wanted to jump into the television. So I always had this dream.
“But I was too embarrassed and shy to pursue acting until I was 26.” I should have stated that I wanted to study drama at the university. After my first year of college, I left to pursue speech and drama, but I accidentally damaged the acceptance letter. Right now, it just breaks my heart. I’m sure Miranda would have been a regular TV show and I would have been alternating between books, but I should have listened when I was 20.
While she is contemplative now, she is also confident and hopes she will have a Christmas hit this year. Only this time, rather than being a TV show, she hopes it will be her new novel The Christmas Tree That Wanted to Dance that makes waves. The short story novel is the latest in a string of books she has written, as she balances her new life at home with her dog and new husband, building surveyor Richard Fairs, 60, who she married in secret last summer.
She and Richard are alleged to have brought the congregation to tears when they married to the Sound of Music classic Climb Every Mountain despite having almost “given up” on getting married. A small number of family and close friends only attended the ceremony at a 1, 000-year-old church in Hambledon, a picturesque village in Hampshire.
When surveyor Richard was called in to clean Miranda’s home, they had already met. After falling “hopelessly in love with each other,” they quickly got married while visiting Kew Gardens in west London. Miranda, who is now 18 months into her marriage, says, “We can’t imagine our lives being apart, can we? ” That is a great relief, in my opinion. Everything has been unanticipated, and I didn’t anticipate getting married.
Finding someone who completely understands and gets me, and who is the most incredibly patient with me, has been an unexpected experience. The good that can come from suffering is also unexpected. To truly discover who I am and feel free… I have a lot of love. Everything, including having extraordinary fame moments, was unanticipated.
I simply enjoy being laughing and joyful, whether I have just come off stage at the 02 to 15 000 people or being at home. All that matters is that. Finding joy again has been the greatest gift ever, even though I had never anticipated it.
But reconsider if you believe Miranda’s new, serene, and homelike personality makes Christmas cards year-round. “Do I love Christmas? ” asks Miranda. I agree, as it is a play invitation. However, I don’t send Christmas cards. I detest holiday cards. I detest this insane cultural pressure, such as, “I have to see these people before Christmas.” You’ll receive texts that read, “We must catch up. No, we don’t, I tell myself. Why won’t we get together in February? Let’s just relax, shall we say?
The Christmas Tree That Wanted to Dance, Miranda Hart’s newest book, is now available.
