Timothée Chalamet used his crowning moment at the Critics’ Choice Awards to declare his love for girlfriend Kylie Jenner – and any potential wedding between the US megastars is set to put the Beckhams in the shade, our experts explains.

Timothée Chalamet used his crowning moment at the Critics’ Choice Awards to declare his love for girlfriend Kylie Jenner, leaving fans in no doubt that the couple are going into 2026 stronger than ever.
After scooping the prize for Best Actor for his star turn in table tennis drama Marty Supreme , the 30-year-old actor paid tribute to the reality star and entrepreneur, saying, “Thank you to my partner of three years. Thank you for our foundation. I love you. I couldn’t do this without you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
Visibly moved, Kylie, 28, mouthed the words, “I love you” as she looked on proudly, tears in her eyes.
As one of the most unexpected celebrity couplings in recent years, Timothée’s romance with the make-up tycoon has been a major talking point. Dubbed ‘Kimmy’ and even ‘Kylithée’ by hardcore fans, the pair are never far from the headlines, with brand and culture expert Nick Ede saying, “They embody a new kind of power couple, and effortlessly shape trends and conversations.”
Although some so-called Chalamaniacs don’t like the idea of their idol dating one of the Kardashian-Jenner clan, believing it clashes with Oscar-nominated Timothée’s image as a serious actor, the pair are certainly a force to be reckoned with.
Last month Kylie even helped her actor boyfriend promote his latest movie, with the couple donning matching bright orange outfits – a nod to one of Marty Supreme ’s key moments – to the film’s premiere. Their colour-coordinated marketing moment instantly went viral and was even parodied at the recent Critics’ Choice Awards, when Hacks stars Paul W Downs and Megan Stalter wore near-identical outfits on the red carpet.
“They have a very strong sense of style and the energy between them really does radiate,” says Nick. “They’re not afraid to be themselves, and are so comfortable with each other. They’re just fascinating to watch.”
Despite more cynical observers claiming their union is a ‘showmance’ and a blatant PR ploy, Nick believes this is absolutely not the case.
“They are actually very understated, and the complete antithesis of people like Kim and Kanye,” he says. “It feels like an entirely private relationship, and allowing fans to glimpse into their lives doesn’t detract from Timothée’s acting or Kylie’s business and brand.”
Radio 1 film critic Ali Plumb says Timothée’s efforts to keep their relationship relatively low-key is wise. “Not being too ‘out there’ is always a good move for someone at his level,” he says. “It’s probably not easy, but Timothée seems able to manage the interest in his personal life while still maintaining his career. If you keep a low profile and make your social media output a rarity, it’s just sensible.”
The pair’s surprise romance first blossomed in early 2023, shortly after Kylie – half-sister of the Kardashian sisters – split from musician Travis Scott, father of her two young children, Stormi and Aire. She and Timothée were first seen chatting on the front row at Jean Paul Gaultier’s show during Paris Fashion Week, and that April the rumour mill went into overdrive after her black Range Rover was spotted parked outside his Beverly Hills home.
One of their first dates was said to have been to no-frills takeaway joint Tito’s Tacos, where the pair tucked into Mexican food in the back of Kylie’s SUV. Claims they were “head over heels” soon followed, and that certainly seemed to be the case when they were spotted kissing at Beyoncé’s Renaissance show in Los Angeles that September.
The same month, they were pictured for the first time together watching tennis – and canoodling – at the US Open. Despite their best efforts to remain tight-lipped about their relationship, in October 2023 Timothée admitted the overwhelming interest in his personal life was only to be expected.
“I can’t say that this stuff doesn’t matter, because my intense fandom has led me to where I am,” he said. “Sometimes, people are going to be hella confused when you say you’re trying to live a private life.”
For much of 2024, the couple seemed at pains to avoid being seen together – on date nights, both began wearing face masks and caps in an attempt to go undetected. Such discretion led to reports they had called it quits, but in reality they were just evading the eyes of the watching world, even managing a secret trip to the Bahamas for Kylie’s 27th birthday in August that year.
But fast forward four months and the pair’s union was very much on display at the LA premiere of Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown , with the couple holding hands throughout the afterparty. Kylie then joined Timothée on the awards circuit at the start of 2025, supporting him at a number of glitzy events. In April, they kissed and cuddled at Coachella festival, and crucially, Timothée’s mum Nicole gave her seal approval the same month, saying of Kylie, “I have to say she’s lovely. She’s very nice to me.”
In May, they finally made their red carpet debut as a couple at the 70th David Di Donatello Awards in Rome. Previously, Timothée always posed solo for photos before meeting Kylie inside each event. But on this occasion, they posed for the cameras hand-in-hand, while Timothée openly put his arm around Kylie’s waist.
Despite looking cosy while cheering on the New York Knicks, last summer there were fresh rumours that the couple had split when – following a brief holiday in St Tropez in July – the pair were not seen together for over five weeks.
Speculation only increased when the Kylie Cosmetics creator shared so-called break-up songs on Instagram Stories on her birthday in August – including Jeff Buckley’s Lover, You Should’ve Come Over , and Labi Siffre’s Crying Laughing Loving Lying . Leaping to the pair’s defence, some fans suggested it was simply Kylie’s way of showing she missed her man on her big day, given that he was busy filming Dune: Part Three in Hungary while she hosted a dinner party for pals in LA.
Luckily, the rumours were shot down two weeks later when a Budapest café owner shared an Instagram shot of the pair together during a gap in Timothée’s gruelling Dune schedule.
Though they may not have everyone on-side, their relationship is clearly not to be taken lightly.
New Lives in the Wild presenter Ben Fogle talks exclusively to the Mirror about a future in politics… and tells why we may see him in the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom yet
View 6 Images
Intrepid adventurer Ben Fogle has climbed Everest, rowed across the Atlantic, run the Marathon des Sables, walked to the South Pole, and been to some of the most remote places in the world. But there is one territory he is yet to conquer … the world of politics. The former Royal Navy Reservist tells The Mirror: “I’ve always been drawn to politics.”
While experiencing extreme lifestyles in remote parts of the globe holds no fear for Ben, 52, whose new show New Lives in the Wild starts on 5 on Thursday (15th), he admits to some trepidation when it comes to pursuing his political ambitions. “Politics have become so tribal now that I don’t know that I will ever be able to actually scratch that itch,” he says.
Making people happy is also important to Ben, who thinks that could be difficult if he ever reached Number 10. “I don’t know if I could hack being Prime Minister,” he admits. “The problem is I’m a people pleaser. By the very nature of a democratic nation, half the nation is going to hate you, whoever you are, however good you are. I’m not sure I can take that. So I might stick to just spending time with interesting people in interesting places.”

Ben encountered another fear, besides politics, when filming his new show and meeting a woman living on the road in America. He says: “I joined her, she lives on the motorway on the hard shoulder, and I found it terrifying. I don’t really trust cars and trucks and when you’re living on the hard shoulder, moving up and down it, and you’re sleeping in it in a tiny little wooden carriage, it’s pretty scary.
“For me, nature and the wilderness is a sort of friend. I think when you’ve endured expeditions, you realise that as long as you respect the environment, it’s actually not quite as scary as we think it is. I think the thing I’m most scared of is people. They’re unpredictable.”
The author of nine books, Ben – who moved recently from London to South Oxfordshire with his wife Marina, 47, a writer, broadcaster and antenatal teacher, and their two children, Ludo, 16, and Iona, 14 – loves the characters on Lives in the Wild. He says: “What makes these people interesting is that while most people on the telly go out of their way to be discovered, these are the opposite.
“I’m amazed at how little some of them live off. I met a woman in America who lived off $2,000 a year. We are all seduced by what consumerism offers us. We look at other people – their homes, their cars. We’ve made our lives really complicated, because we’re constantly chasing what others are tempting us with or what other people have. But when you’ve gone to live off grid, you’re not trying to impress anyone. You’re not chasing anything. You have simplified your life to the absolute basics.
“A lot of them make me feel very guilty about how I choose to live.” Ben, who married in 2006 after meeting his wife on a dog walk, says he’d love to live off grid, but Marina and the kids are having none of it.
“I’ve said for many years, I’d love to do that as a family. I’d love to live in a little Scandi cabin, on the beach, on a little island in Sweden or Norway. But, you know, when you’re a family, your dreams and aspirations are more than just one individual, which happens to be mine. So I actually think we’ve found quite a good compromise. We live in a beautiful rural part of South Oxfordshire with lots of animals – five horses, two dogs – Storm and Swift – and five Indian runner ducks.”
It’s been 25 years since Ben shot to fame as the breakout star of Castaway, the BBC’s first reality show – which saw 36 men, women, and children marooned on a remote Scottish island for a year and tasked with building a community. “I spent many years trying to distance myself from the reality show from which I started and think I managed it,” he says.
Now an established TV presenter, with a CV filled with documentaries as well as established shows like Country File, he has travelled to over 200 countries in his role as a broadcaster. But he’s come full circle and feels ready to do reality TV again.
“Life’s about having fun and they look like a laugh,” he says of the current output. I think there’s some brilliant reality TV out there. It went through a period that was pretty nasty, I think, in the sort of 2000s. It was pretty exploitative. But there are some brilliant shows now, like The Traitors.”
He would even consider doing Strictly. “You never know. Although, dancing really is not my forte, I’d be out the first week,” he laughs. While he feels reality TV has got nicer, Ben thinks the online world has got nastier – telling his 687,000 Instagram followers that he was thinking of leaving social media.
He says: “When I started, at the of height of Twitter – which was 15 years ago or so – it felt really honest and authentic. But now, on all platforms, the more hateful and divisive the content, the more it gets pushed by algorithms and by social media companies and the more hopeful and happy and kind and beautiful content gets absolutely zero engagement.
“Hate and anger are infectious. When you consume too much of it, it can have a really detrimental effect on you. I genuinely believe our mental health crisis is partly being fueled by so much anger, hatred and negativity.
“In the same way that you are what you eat, if you just consume junk food and sugary fatty food, you’re not going to feel particularly good are you? And the same goes with our digital nutrition. The online content that we consume, the interactions we have with other people. Because it is a faceless medium, largely, it means people say things they would never ever say to your face. A lot of the kindness there was has gone, the gloves are off and it feels like it’s making us an unkinder species generally.”
He tries to monitor his children’s usage. “It’s part of our culture now so, rather than being Luddites and banning it, I show them my good and bad interactions. We have some rules in place too, and I see it a bit like drinking – I’d rather they did it at home, where we know about it, than binge drinking in a bar with people that aren’t us.”
Winding up our chat, Ben’s wife pops in to look for one of the dogs, who is nestled at Ben’s feet. It’s time for a dog walk. “He never leaves my side,” he says fondly. “So I best be off.”

During the annual Trooping the Colour celebrations in 2022, a lip-reading expert spotted the young royal using an adorable moniker for his mother Princess Kate

Each year, the Royal Family get together to mark the monarch’s official birthday celebrations at Trooping the Colour. The annual event culminates in an appearance on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to see the RAF flypast, and watching the family excitedly interact with one another amid the aerial show has long been a favourite among royal fans.
While King Charles and other senior royals are front and centre for the balcony appearance, they are joined by the youngsters of the Royal Family, namely Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis, giving fans a chance to catch a glimpse of the next generation of royals.

The three children of the Prince and Princess of Wales usually delight crowds with cheeky antics and sweet interactions when on the Palace balcony, with one particularly memorable moment coming from the 2022 Trooping the Colour celebrations.
Back in 2022 when Trooping the Colour was part of the late Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee celebrations, Prince George was spotted using an adorable nickname for his mother Princess Kate, which was quickly picked up by a lip reader.
As George travelled in a carriage to Horse Guards Parade with his mum Kate, he had been waving to the crowds – looking very dapper in his suit and tie – before turning to Kate and calling her “Momma”.
The use of sweet nicknames goes both ways between the mother and son, with Kate bestowing on her eldest child and future King a distinctly British moniker: PG tips. The famous British tea company also lines up with the second-in-line to the throne’s initials of Prince George, and the young royal is said to also sometimes have this nickname shortened even further to simply ‘Tips’.
The Royal Family is reported to use a wide variety of nicknames for one another, and the late Prince Philip had one very similar to George’s sweet nickname, with those in his inner circle referring to him as ‘P.P.’ in a nod to his initials.
A royal source speaking to The Sun explained that there is a reason the royals use so many nicknames for one another, as they said: “The royals are not very good at communicating with one another so this is one way around it. Nicknames are a way of taking the family tension out of things.”
“They can also be a rather childlike family. They love to play games and they give each other silly presents. I think it’s because they have to be so earnest in their public lives.”

George is not the only one of the Wales children to have a sweet nickname. Princess Charlotte is often referred to as ‘Lottie’ by both her family and her classmates, while Charlotte’s parents also refer to her as ‘Mignonette,’ a French term meaning “delicate” or “cute”, according to royal expert Katie Nicholl.
Young Prince Louis also has an adorable nickname that Kate let slip during a rare engagement with her children in 2023. Taking part in the Big Help Out at the 3rd Upton Scouts Hut in Slough, the three Wales siblings got to toast some marshmallows over a campfire, which they then turned into s’mores. And as she encouraged Louis to get rid of his stick, Kate revealed her sweet nickname for her youngest, as she said: “Pop that on the fire Lou-bugs.”
The S Club Juniors party came to an end in 2004 when Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Wiseman, Daisy Evans, Jay Asforis, Aaron Renfree, Hannah Richings, Stacey McClean, and Calvin Goldspink called it a day. But where are they all now?
View 14 Images
It’s been more than 20 years since S Club Juniors – later known as S Club 8 – decided to go their separate ways. The young teeny boppers were originally formed in 2001 to support S Club 7 – but they found their own fame, going on to release multiple top-10 hits in the UK, including One Step Closer, and Puppy Love/Sleigh Ride. They even got their own TV show about their fictional exploits, called I Dream.
The eight-member lineup came together through the CBBC show S Club Search, with the chosen ones beating thousands of hopeful applicants. And, as a result, Frankie Sandford (now Bridge), Rochelle Wiseman (now Humes), Daisy Evans, Jay Asforis, Aaron Renfree, Hannah Richings, Stacey McClean, and Calvin Goldspink, all became household names.
But all good things must come to an end. The band – who changed their name to S Club 8 in 2003 to reflect them growing older – announced their split in 2004. But what has happened to the members since then? From footballer wives, to a major West End star, and a connection to Taylor Swift, let’s take a closer look at where they are now…
Rochelle Humes
While some members decided to step away from the spotlight, Rochelle has continued to live her life in the public eye. When S Club 8 disbanded in 2004, Rochelle had a stint hosting the BBC children’s TV programme Smile – her first presenting role – before joining top girl group The Saturdays, alongside Una Healy, Mollie King, Vanessa White, and fellow former S Club 8 member Frankie Bridge, in 2007. The girls enjoyed major success, selling millions of records and achieving multi-platinum status with hits like the #1 single “What About Us” and Platinum-certified albums like Chasing Lights.
When the band separated in 2014, Rochelle turned her attention to presenting, and has gone on to co-present shows including Ninja Warrior UK and The Hit List, as well as numerous appearances on This Morning, Loose Women and Lorraine.
Her other projects include the release of her first clothing range for Very in June 2014, and the publication of her first children’s book The Mega Magic Hair Swap in 2019. In February 2020, she launched her own baby skin and haircare brand, My Little Coco.
In March 2010, Rochelle started dating fellow pop star Marvin Humes from the band JLS. They got engaged on 31 December 2011 and were married on 27 July 2012 at Blenheim Palace. Rochelle, who is now professionally known by her married name, and Marvin share three children together: daughters Alaia-Mai (born 2013), Valentina (born 2017), and son Blake (born 2020).
Throughout the years, Rochelle has managed to maintain a squeaky clean reputation. But just recently she has been at the centre of allegations of a feud with Myleene Klass. It came after Myleene publicly alleged on a podcast that her ex-husband, Graham Quinn, had cheated on her with a famous person at her own birthday party in 2011.
Tensions reportedly arose because both Rochelle and Marvin have continued their friendship with Graham, who previously managed JLS, and it was claimed that Rochelle had given Graham a place to stay when he split from Myleene.
Then in August 2025, Rochelle posted a 13th-anniversary photo dump on Instagram that included a picture of Graham – widely interpreted as a “passive-aggressive” move and a slight against Myleene.
Frankie Bridge
Frankie’s post-S Club career mirrors that of Rochelle. The two women – who knew each other before joining the young band – both continued their chart-topping success in The Saturdays until the group’s split in 2014.
Since then, Frankie has made numerous TV appearances. She has been a regular panellist on Loose Women since 2021, and appeared in the 12th series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2015 – Caroline Flack and Pasha Kovalev were announced as the winners while Simon Webbe and Kristina Rihanoff, and Frankie and her partner Kevin Clifton were the runners-up.
In 2021, Frankie competed in the 21st series of I’m A Celebrity, – due to COVID-19 travel restrictions, the series was filmed at Gwrych Castle in Wales – coming in third place behind Danny Miller and Simon Gregson. And in 2023, the star made her West End debut, joining the cast of Danny Robins’ play 2:22 A Ghost Story at the Apollo Theatre; she took over the role of Lauren from Sophia Bush and performed in the production until its close on 17 September 2023.
Since December 2010, Frankie has been in a relationship with former footballer Wayne Bridge. The couple announced their engagement in April 2013 and were married the following year at Woburn Abbey. The couple are proud parents to two boys, Parker, 12, and Carter, 11. Prior to finding love with Wayne, Frankie dated McFly musician Dougie Poynter from 2008 to 2010.
Frankie has been open about her mental health struggles. In 2011, she had to take time out of her work commitments with the Saturdays due to an “illness”, which was incorrectly speculated to be due to alcohol and drugs. As a result, she decided to speak out about her battles and went on to be named an ambassador for charity Mind.
Interestingly, Frankie is also rumoured to have a long-standing tension with Myleene Klass – just like Rochelle. The trio used to be very close, with Loose Women hosts Myleene and Frankie attending fellow ITV star Rochelle’s hen do in 2012. But issues again arose as a result of Myeleen’s ex-husband; Graham Quinn served as the bodyguard and tour manager for The Saturdays and, as a result, Frankie and Rochelle became close friends with him.
When Myleene and Graham split in 2012, Myleene reportedly felt that Frankie and Rochelle “sided” with Graham, and a confrontation reportedly occurred at the 2013 Glamour Awards after Myleene felt ‘blanked’ by Frankie. The ladies have since largely avoided each other, However, due to a staff shortage around Christmas 2025, Myleene and Frankie ended up on the same Loose Women panel – resulting in an ‘awkward’ episode with ‘minimal interaction’.
Aaron Renfree
Aaron was the oldest member of S Club 8 and starred in I Dream but did not appear in every episode because he was studying for his GCSEs at the time of filming. After S Club 8 split in 2004, he went back to college and trained at Laine Theatre Arts where he graduated with a National Diploma in Musical Theatre.
Since then, Aaron has carved out a successful career as a top professional dancer choreographer, who has worked with the likes of Taylor Swift, Little Mix, Kylie Minogue, and Take That. He has also had an impressive West End career, appearing in the likes of Flashdance: The Musical and We Will Rock You.
Aaron is openly gay, and has taken part in the NoH8 campaign, whose mission is to promote LGBTQ marriage, gender and human equality.
Jay Asforis
Since the end of S Club Juniors in 2004, Jay has established himself in a major way in the world of musical theatre. The star – who now goes by the professional name Jay Perry – made his debut in the West End in Whistle Down the Wind in 1999- 2000, and since then has appeared in Motown: The Musical, Back to the Future: The Musical, Hairspray, and Kiss Me, Kate. He is currently starring in the hit show Hamilton, appearing as former US President Aaron Burr.
Jay also identifies as gay and has talked about struggling with his sexuality while in S Club 8.
Stacey Franks
Stacey – known as Stacey McClean in S Club Juniors – continued with her passion for music following the band’s split. She auditioned as a solo artist on The X Factor in 2009, making it as far as Judges’ Houses in Dubai, but wasn’t chosen by Dannii Minogue to progress further to the live shows.
The following year, Stacey starred in G*Mania, a collection of former X Factor, Britain’s Got Talent and Last Choir Standing favourites, who toured the UK for six months. She is also reported to have worked as a receptionist at the UK radio station talkSPORT, while continuing to pursue her singing career in her spare time.
In June 2017, two years after a proposal on the rooftop of a hotel in Phuket, Stacey tied the knot with ex-professional footballer Fraser Franks, and in 2019 they welcomed their daughter, Nellie. In November 2023, however, Stacey announced the couple’s split.
In a message shared on Instagram alongside a photo of their little girl, she wrote in part: “Fraser and I, after 10 wonderful years together have made the difficult decision to amicably separate. As many of you know, when children are involved, decisions such as these are not taken lightly. We walk away with nothing but love for each other and the only thing that matters to us is Nellie, for without each-other we wouldn’t have been blessed with her.”
According to reports at the time, Stacey – who previously dated Lawson guitarist Ryan Fletcher – and Fraser’s wedding day was a raucous affair, with a ‘drunk’ Stacey throwing wedding cake ‘at Fraser’s face’ which caused a ‘bust-up’ as his mum had made it.
A source told MailOnline: “After she threw the cake in her husband’s face, they were spotted in the garden arguing with representatives of both families acting as peacekeepers. The night ended for Stacey when she got a taxi to a hotel, by herself at 20:30. Fraser continued to enjoy the evening until the early hours…”
Calvin Goldspink
After S Club 8 ended, Calvin stayed in front of the camera, appearing in the only season of Life is Wild for the CW network in 2007. Inspired by the British drama Wild at Heart, the show followed a New York veterinarian who moves his second wife and their two sets of children to a South African game reserve run by his former father-in-law.
It’s by no means his only small screen appearance; Calvin later starred in the 2011 US TV movie William and Kate: Let Love Rule, playing the Princess’ brother, James Middleton.
The star has also stuck with music; his song ‘Don’t Fail Me’ has featured on various adverts for shows such as Jersey Shore and Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta, and it also featured on Love Is Blind season 1 episode 9. Calvin has further worked at The Peppermint Club in Los Angeles as a talent booker, and founded Breaking Sound, a music company helping support emerging artists internationally.In 2020, he released a song called “The Cold”.
The star married designer Melissa Callabero in 2015 and they became parents for the first time to baby Aya in 2020.
Daisy Shelvey
Daisy – then Daisy Evans – also continued with her love of music when S Club 8 disbanded in 2004. She joined a five-piece UK female group called From Above, and the future looked bright. The band were signed by Beyonce’s dad, Matthew Knowles and even landed a reality TV show on MTV. But their time together was short-lived.
From Above performed all over the world together and eventually entered the X-Factor, a controversial move since many fans argued the show should be for undiscovered talent only. Regardless, From Above didn’t make it past the bootcamp stage and disbanded shortly afterwards.
In 2013, Daisy became engaged to footballer Jonjo Shelvey, and they went on to marry in June 2015. The couple’s extravagant wedding ceremony included a stand-up comedy performance by Jimmy Carr. Daisy and Jonjo are parents to three children – daughters Lola and Alba, and a son called Jorgio.
Daisy has been quick to defend her husband over the years, and in February 2015 became embroiled in a Twitter spat. She criticised her husband’s then-footballer manager Gary Monk after Jonjo was subbed off, “What an absolute load of s***. Ain’t got a f*****g clue.”
Supporters of Swansea, the team he played for at the time, advised Daisy that her comments wouldn’t help the team as a whole. She promptly hit back at them, writing: “I’m entitled to have an opinion and if I want to tweet it, I will!”
The former Newcastle United and Liverpool midfielder Jonjo Shelvey has opened up on his addiction to sleeping pills. The 33-year-old, who is now at United Arab Emirates side Arabian Falcons, revealed the habit ruined his relationship with his three children.
The addiction started when Shelvey moved to Turkey and signed for Caykur Rizespor in September 2023. He lived on his own in Rize, a small coastal city in the eastern part of the Black Sea Region, leaving his three children and wife behind in England.
“I went to Turkey for 18 months and lived by myself and it was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” Shelvey told the Under The Cosh podcast.
“I ended up becoming addicted to sleeping tablets because I’d just got home from training and to pass time. I’d think, ‘what am I going to do now?’
“I was in a city that was a Muslim-orientated city. There were like three restaurants. To pass time I’d just end up taking three or four sleeping tablets and I’d pass out until the next morning for training.”
He said: “I’d get home at one, half one. Three o’clock I’d have a bit of food, and that’d be my last meal. And then I’d take three or four sleeping tablets and then wake up about 12 o’clock at night, pop three or four more.
“And then wake up for training the next day. To be honest, it destroyed my relationship with my kids. I was never present. This is the first time I have spoken about it and I was lucky that my missus is such a good woman that she kicked it out of me.”
Daisy now works as a make-up artist, sharing her success on Instagram under the handle @daisyshelvey_mua .
Hannah Richings
Hannah was the youngest member of S Club 8, being just 11 when she joined and the only member that was out of the band’s initial intended age range.

Gardening expert and Love Your Weekend presenter Alan Titchmarsh has shared the pitfalls of bare-root planting, while revealing the best time to plant trees and shrubs
View 3 Images
Gardening guru Alan Titchmarsh has issued a stark warning to green-fingered enthusiasts about the dangers lurking in bare-root planting. This method involves uprooting a tree or shrub during winter and relocating it to a new spot without any soil clinging to its roots.
Alan points out that this technique was hugely popular throughout the 20th Century, with trees being lifted in autumn and transplanted to fresh locations.
One major advantage of bare-root planting, according to Alan, has been its cost-effectiveness, as these trees demand less upkeep compared to their pot-grown counterparts – a benefit that ultimately reaches the buyer’s pocket.
Yet the former Gardeners’ World host cautions that the method comes with its share of “pitfalls”, particularly for those who can’t resist rushing the process.
In his Country Life column, he wrote: “Too often gardeners are impatient: they want a tree that looks mature as soon as possible and, consequently, they will buy as large a specimen as they can afford.”
He continued: “However, it stands to reason that the larger the tree, the more sustenance it needs to draw up from its roots.
“If the root system has been reduced in size – as it must be when a tree is transplanted from open ground – then a large tree with many branches to support will struggle to establish itself and may take many years to get over the shock.”
Delving deeper into the reasons behind planting bare-root trees ahead of spring, the Gardeners’ World website highlighted November through to March as the ideal window.
They explained: “Planting them in the dormant season means that they should establish well – while the top growth may be brown and twiggy, the roots are busy establishing beneath.”
Regarding which varieties are suitable for bare-root planting during autumn and winter, the website recommended hawthorn, fruit, ornamental, birch, and beech trees.
In a video featured on the site, Alan described young trees as “resilient,” adding: “They are in a way sleeping and if we don’t wake them up too much…they don’t mind being moved at that time of year, even when they’re dug up.”
While Alan has been educating viewers on plant cultivation, he’s also been contemplating his own professional journey. Reflecting on his past, the 76-year-old has revealed how his “dull” childhood provided him with a “good grounding” for both life and career success.
On the Lessons From Our Mothers podcast, he reflected: “I think I grew up with a strong sense of when I had a family, wanting to look after my wife, children in the same way my mum and dad looked after us.

“Giving us a stable, often quite dull. Sundays were often very boring looking back, you’ve got to go and see granny or go for a walk, which I did like. So it wasn’t spectacular but on reflection, the grounding it gave you as a child was quite good.”
Alan revealed that although his broadcasting career keeps him surrounded by people, he still cherishes his solitude. He remarked: “I need that time on my own, in our business you see a lot of people going around with an entourage, and they’re never alone.
