Former EastEnders actress Shona McGarty is heading to Australia to take part in this year’s I’m A Celeb but took time to share an emotive post before she jets off

Former EastEnders star Shona McGarty has shared a cryptic post on social media ahead of her stint in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! The actress recently split from her fiancé David Bracken and appears to be doing some reflecting on life before she jets out to Australia.

Shona, 34, posted a black and white video to her Instagram where she is seen applying her make-up while giving an emotive silent performance and removing the makeup again before the clip turns to colour. Shona shared a long caption alongside the clip, with lyrics from her new song Unapologetically Me.

She wrote, “I’m finally learning to just be me, no filters, no apologies, no shrinking to make others comfortable. It’s a new beginning, and this time I’m stepping into life with open arms and an open heart. I’ve spent too long second-guessing, dimming my light, trying to fit into spaces that were never meant for me.

“But now, it’s about freedom, being comfortable in my own skin, owning my story, singing LOUD, with all my flaws, and my fire. This is the start of really living, fully and authentically. From here on out, …I’m .. ‘unapologetically me’.”

Shona is one of the stars who is rumoured to be heading to Australia for I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here’s upcoming series.

Shona – who is best known for her portrayal of Whitney Dean on the BBC soap – reportedly split from David after a year-long engagement. The pair got engaged in the summer of 2024 but have now apparently called off their engagement.

A source told The Sun, “They are on amicable terms, but have ended their romantic relationship. There are no hard feelings, they realised they wanted different things and are better off as friends. Shona is now focusing on her music and career.”

The pair met on TikTok just over two years ago and David, who is best known as a member of Blessed, popped the question during a romantic picnic in that took place in Kensington, West London. Although, at the time, things almost went awry when the police turned up.

At the time, David said: “I went over to the police, who said, ‘Sorry we are just closing up the park’. I said, ‘Would you mind giving me five minutes as I am about to propose to my partner?’

“He looked at his watch and said, ‘Of course, and best of luck!” So, I told Shona to go stand at the waterfall in the park. I then put on our favourite song and had a dance with her before getting down on one knee.”

Shona then noted that she was none the wiser about how David’s proposal was almost scuppered at the last minute. She said: “David went over to speak to them and I had no idea what he said because I was just eating cheese and crackers.”

In an exclusive joint interview with OK! announcing their engagement, Shona and David said that the location of the proposal made it even more special.

David had picked a tranquil corner of the park called Kyoto Garden – somewhere that means a lot to Shona.

She explained: “I love Japanese culture and the spirituality of it. He brought a picnic which was really sweet. It was lovely, I was in my element but I didn’t think he was going to propose at all.”

Davina revealed she has been diagnosed with breast cancer and has undergone surgery

Presenter Davina McCall has revealed that she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, spotting a lump after checks recommended by friend and fellow TV host Lorraine Kelly. Davina underwent surgery three weeks ago to remove a lump.

The TV presenter shared a video on her Instagram page on Saturday revealing the news in the hope that it “might help someone”.

McCall said she found a lump a few weeks ago which “came and went” and was driven to get it checked after seeing posters urging women to “check your breasts” while working on ITV ’s Lorraine show.

She said: “I just wanted to tell you that I have had breast cancer. I found a lump a few weeks ago, and it came and went.” She added: “So I had a biopsy. I found out it was indeed breast cancer, and I had it taken out in a lumpectomy nearly three weeks ago … It was very, very small, so I got it very, very early, which is incredibly lucky, but I am so relieved to have had it removed, and to know that it hasn’t spread.”

Davina also said she had ‘dense breasts’, which is a risk factor in developing breast cancer and makes it harder to detect. Justin Stebbing, Professor of Biomedical Sciences at Anglia Ruskin University, said b reast density is a ‘significant yet often overlooked factor in breast cancer awareness, risk assessment and screening practices’

He said: ” Breast density refers to the proportions of glandular and connective tissue compared to fatty tissue in the breast, as seen on a mammogram. Simply put, dense breasts have more glandular and fibrous tissue and less fat. On a mammogram, both dense tissue and tumours appear white, making it harder to detect abnormalities in women with dense breasts.

“This masking effect can lead to cancers being missed during routine screening, which is why breast density is not just a risk factor for developing breast cancer, but also for having it go undetected until it is more advanced.”

Professor Stebbing said women with dense breasts face a higher risk of developing breast cancer compared to women with less dense, fattier breasts. He added: “A major study involving more than 33,000 women found that those with dense breasts were nearly twice as likely to develop breast cancer than those with low breast density.”

The increased risk is seen across both pre-menopausal younger women and post-menopausal older women, although the proportion of women. W omen with the lowest breast density have about a 6% lifetime risk of developing breast cancer after age 50, while those with the highest density face a risk closer to 15%.

While mammograms can detect nine out of ten cancers in women with mostly fatty breasts, the sensitivity drops to about seven out of ten in women with extremely dense breasts.

This means that tumours can be missed . Professor Stebbing told The Conversation : ” Breast density is now recognised as one of the most important risk factors for breast cancer, even as much as family history or other commonly discussed risk factors.”

About 40% of women fall into the higher density categories, and dense breasts are common in younger women, those taking hormone replacement therapy, and those with certain genetic backgrounds and ethnicities. Breast density can also be influenced by lifestyle and hormonal factors, and it tends to decrease with age and higher body mass index and obesity.

A recent UK survey showed that most women aren’t aware of their breast density. In the US, new regulations require that all women undergoing mammography be notified if they have dense breasts.

Professor Stebbing said: “It is important to remember that the majority of women with dense breasts will not develop breast cancer. Breast density is just one factor among many, and decisions about screening and risk reduction should be made on an individual basis.

“For women with dense breasts, discussing options for supplemental screening with their doctor is recommended.”

Chris Brown, 36, had a wild night out at a London nightclub with his entourage last month, enjoying bottles of alcohol costing up to £5,000 each, it has been claimed

Chris Brown reportedly racked up a huge alcohol bill during a night out in London with his entourage last month.

The rapper, who made a surprise appearance at a court hearing on October 24 ahead of his trial for an alleged nightclub attack, enjoyed a night out at the Selene club in the capital on October 10, it is believed. Days later, the nightclub posted the bill on social media, amounting to a massive £160,240.50.

The bill shared online included nine bottles of Dom Perignon, costing £750 each, as well as nine bottles of Belvedere, priced at £500 each. It also showed that the group of 15 had purchased a £5,000 Hennessy Paradis, five £2,900 Louis Roederer Cristal Magnums and three Clase Azul Reposados, costing £1,200 each.

In addition to the alcoholic beverages, two cases of Red Bull and three pizzas were also ordered, according to the bill. While the club didn’t say who had racked up the huge bill, some of those who partied with Chris, including models and other rappers, said he paid for it.

A source told The Sun: “Chris lives life in the fast lane and thinks nothing of splashing out on the best there is.” During his latest court hearing on October 28, a judge established that the singer could return to the United States as he awaits trial for an alleged bottle attack at a London nightclub in 2023.

Judge Tony Baumgartner granted the change to the American musician’s bail conditions at Southwark Crown Court in London. Heidi Stonecliffe KC, prosecuting, said the bail conditions remain “very stringent” and “numerous”. The £5 million security fee that Brown was previously ordered to pay to the court remains in place, which is a financial guarantee to ensure a defendant returns to court and may be forfeited if they breach bail conditions.

Brown has pleaded not guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm to Abraham Diaw at the Tape venue, a private members’ club in Hanover Square, Mayfair, on February 19 2023. He has also denied having an offensive weapon – a bottle – in a public place, as well as attempting to cause grievous bodily harm.

His co-defendant, US national Omololu Akinlolu, 39, has also denied assault occasioning actual bodily harm. Brown’s previous bail conditions allowed him to continue with his scheduled international tour.

He had to live at a specific address known to the court and was not allowed to visit the nightclub, or contact Mr Diaw or apply for international travel documents. Granting both defendants permission to return to the US, Judge Baumgartner said: “You will have to come back to the United Kingdom when you are required to do so.”

He reminded them that failure to attend court dates when required could jeopardise the securities. There were more than a dozen people in the public gallery and the defendants spoke only to confirm their identities and that they understood the new conditions.

They will next appear at the same court on January 28. A trial is scheduled to start on October 26, 2026.

The Mirror has contacted Chris Brown’s representatives for comment.

Kim Kardashian has once again shocked her followers with yet another out-there look. The star took to her social media to share a collection of photos in a naked-look dress just days after her new TV show panned.

The mum-of-four posed for the camera in a series of snaps as she looked stunning in a see-through off-the-shoulder brown number. The frock left little to the imagination while she posed on the beach.

The 45-year-old went bare foot and left the accessories at home for the photo shoot. She styled her iconic brunette locks in loose beach waves and went for a minimal makeup look.

Friends and fans of the star took to the comment section to applaud her on her daring get up. One person wrote: “Wow so beautiful,” along with the heart eyes emoji.

A second declared: “Stunning Kim.” As a third jokingly made a Love Island reference saying: “A bombshell has entered the villa.”

Kim’s post comes as her latest acting project flopped with critics. New legal drama All’s Fair, the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star, has been slammed by critics upon its release.

As of November 8, it has scored just 5% on review website Rotten Tomatoes, based on 21 critics reviews. The show, which had its first three episodes debut on Disney+ on November 4, seems to have done slightly better with general audiences, earning 67% on the site’s popcornmeter.

Kim stars as divorce lawyer Allura Grant whose legal practice handles high-profile divorces in Los Angeles. The drama also stars Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash.

It follows a group of female lawyers as they navigate scandals in a male dominated practice. All’s Fair has been created by Ryan Murphy who is the writer and creator of cult classics such as American Horror Story, American Crime Story and Scream Queens.

Its Kim K’s second collaboration with the producer as she made her debut on American Horror Story: Delicate which is the 12th season of the popular horror series.

The show’s synopsis reads: “A team of female divorce attorneys leave a male-dominated firm to open their own powerhouse practice. Fierce, brilliant, and emotionally complicated, they navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets, and shifting allegiances—both in the courtroom and within their own ranks.

“In a world where money talks and love is a battleground, these women don’t just play the game—they change it.” The Guardian labelled the show as ‘existentially terrible’.

Meanwhile the Hollywood Reporter described it as ‘stiff and affectless without a single authentic note’ and The Times’ Ben Dowell said that the show was ‘maybe the worst drama ever’.

Meghan Markle first rose to fame starring in hit series Suits but took a break from acting when she married Prince Harry, however she’s now delving back into the world of Hollywood

Returning to acting was ‘never Meghan Markle’s plan’, a source has claimed – following the news that the Duchess of Sussex is starring in a film. The star first found fame as she played the role of Rachel Zane in Suits in 2012 until 2017.

However, she took a break from acting when she entered the world of royalty and tied the knot with Prince Harry. It seems her passion for acting never left as she is entering Hollywood once again.

The 44-year-old is starring in new film Close Personal Friends, which is shooting in Pasadena, California. The movie stars fellow actors Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Jack Quaid and Henry Golding.

The project is a mid-budget romcom about two couples, one famous and one not, who become friends on holiday. This is Meghan’s first role since 2017 but it’s been said she didn’t plan to make a return to acting.

A source told The Daily Mail: “This was never in her plan. This confirms it. They are poor.”

The Mirror has approached the Duchess of Sussex’s representatives for comment.

It comes after Meghan spoke out in 2022 about how she would not be returning to acting any time soon. In an interview with Variety magazine in 2022, she said: “I’m done. I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not.”

After she started dating Harry in 2016, Meghan stepped away from acting to pursue a life as a royal. This was until they both sensationally stepped down as senior members in 2020 and moved to California.

Meghan has also been candid about her journey as an actress, acknowledging the struggles she faced early in her career.

Despite attending numerous auditions, she faced repeated rejection from directors, which she says damaged her confidence. Meghan dropped a tantalising hint about potentially returning to acting just three years ago.

She said: “I left Suits right after the 100th episode, in 2018. I didn’t think I’d ever be in the entertainment industry again. But the entire culture has changed; streamers have changed things.

“The ability to create zeitgeist moments like we had in the ’90s – where everyone would tune in at the same time for a show or gather for one moment? – that doesn’t happen anymore.

“When I was doing Suits, that character, Rachel Zane, was in your living room with you while you were in your pyjamas eating Chinese takeout. That’s how connected the experience felt then.”
