Kelly Brook has made it clear that there is one love in her life – and it is not her husband. The original lingerie and bikini model, 45, has reportedly left a number of treats for her pet pooch Teddy, in order to distract him from her potentially long awaited stay, while in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

While at Heathrow Airport, Kelly made her feelings known about being away from home. She said: “I am going to miss my dog Teddy and my husband Jeremy.”

A source told The Sun: “Kelly is besotted with Teddy and he is used to fine dining, so Kelly spent all hours making sure the freezer was piled high with his special dinners.”

They added: “There’s everything from poached salmon with cavolo nero cabbage through to venison steak with Chantenay Carrots. She didn’t have much time to get everything sorted among all her work commitments but catering for Teddy was the priority.”

According to reports, Kelly has even gone as far as to personalise the food so her husband, Jeremy, does not try to eat what is on the shelf that is left for the dog.

Kelly Brook was all smiles for the waiting photographers after dealing with her apparent upset, as she made her way through the terminal to board her flight to Australia, ahead of of I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here.

And those close have revealed that she has brought a host of swimwear with her. They told The Sun: “Kelly is a pro at posing in swimwear and knows how to work camera angles. She’s comfortable with her figure after years of modelling. The only way to get clean in the jungle is by using the jungle shower and Kelly is going to have her moment. “She’s brought a huge selection of swimwear.

They added: “Over the years, jungle babes have used their shower moment to catapult them to super stardom, but Kelly is one of the original lingerie models and can’t wait for her time to shine.”

And last week she was quick to reveal that she would not rule out another calendar.

While at the Music Industry Trust Awards last week, she said: “I’m not doing a calendar this year, but I’d never say never. I love shooting calendars.”

Kelly’s inclusion on this year’s show comes after she previously revealed that she would never enter the jungle, even she had to pay off a large tax bill.

In 2018, she reportedly confessed: “I hate confined spaces. I don’t want to eat eyeballs or sheep testicles. Even if I had a huge tax bill I had to pay it urgently, I still wouldn’t do it.” Other celebrities who will join Kelly include Martin Kemp, Ruby Wax and former footballer Alex Scott.

Kelly’s comments come after Tulisa famously described showering in the jungle as “cringy.”

Tulisa was in the show last year. And at the time, she said: “I think because on a show like this, if you’re standing in the shower, everyone’s very aware that they’re being watched. So it’s like, if you overdo it, it just feels mad cringy to me. I don’t feel like Myleene, years ago, had that in mind. She just in the shower in a white bikini. She didn’t know she was going to start this whole big wow. Do you know what I mean? Now it is has become a thing. If I went in there, dressed in red, giving it something, everyone’s gonna be like ‘Oh, come on Tulisa, we know what you’re doing’.”

Mo Gilligan has opened up on fatherhood and explained how having a son with his ex Selina Christoforou and a daughter with his fiancée Taia Tulhe has changed his life

Mo Gilligan has revealed his secret love-child is a “very kind” toddler as he defended the child’s mother who previously slammed him online.

The stand-up comedian, 37, welcomed a daughter with his fiancée Taia Tulher – but he previously had a son with his ex, Selina Christoforou. However, the model took to TikTok to accuse Mo of not being present enough for their 22-month old.

Despite this, Mo said during a comedy routine at a South London pub that his son is “a very, very lovely boy” who has “a good mum”. He told the crowd: “I’m not here to disrespect. That’s the mother of my child.”

He added he would never disrespect his ex as she is raising his son, before joking that fans will now assume that any showbiz gigs he takes on will be to earn money for his son, The Sun reported. He also said he is “getting used” to being a dad of two, after his partner Taia gave birth to their little girl.

He said his daughter is “absolutely lovely” and explained that fatherhood has given him “a sense of purpose” he didn’t have before. “As much as life goes left and right and your career can go different places, I kind of always do it for my family because they keep me the most grounded,” he said.

“It’s so weird being a dad now, because the worries I used to have were so small. It’s an amazing joy. It’s interesting. You don’t think of this joy until you actually have children.”

Mo and Taia got engaged in August, shortly after news emerged that he had a secret son with Selina. After his daughter was born, a source said: “Mo and Taia have their baby and are in a bubble of bliss. She gave birth quite a few weeks ago now and she has been getting back to normal life.”

“They are keeping their baby’s gender and name for just close friends and family but they’ve been sharing the news of the baby’s arrival with people now. Mo and Taia couldn’t be happier,” the source added to The Sun.

The engagement came after Selina posted an explosive video on TikTok in which she described Mo as a “deadbeat dad” and she insisted you “can’t make someone be a dad.” Mo initially stayed silent on the claims but later shared a post featuring their son Rudi.

Selina hit out at Mo in a viral post as she fumed: “I just finally posted on Instagram about my son’s dad so for your information, if you don’t follow my Instagram I don’t blame you. Um, Mo Gilligan is his dad. Very much in quotation marks.” A source added at the time that Mo sees the baby “semi-regularly”.

The insider said: “She found out she was pregnant in May 2023 and it was quite a shock for them both because they’d been fairly careful. But she wanted to have the baby, despite the fact they weren’t actually a couple. She adores their son and Mo sees him semi-regularly.

“Now he’s about to become a dad for a second time and he’s over the moon. He has been with Taia for quite a long time now and he feels ready to settle down.”

Duncan James, 47, said his new partner, Alexander Roque, has already met his mum and the other Blue members – and they have all given him their seal of approval

Duncan James has confirmed his romance with stripper Alexander Roque after splitting from his long-term boyfriend, Rodrigo Reis.

The Blue singer and his ex went their separate ways after dating for six years – but weeks later it emerged that Duncan, 47, had moved on with Alexander, who is currently performing on stage at the strip show Forbidden Nights and once appeared on Britain’s Got Talent. Last month, a source said the pair’s romance was still in its “early days” but things were going well between them.

Now, Duncan himself has opened up about his new partner, describing Alexander as a “love bug” and “real sweetheart” who has already got the seal of approval from his mum and bandmates. While attending the Children with Cancer UK Gala at The Peninsula in London last night, the actor and TV presenter praised Alexander, describing him as “really considerate, respectful and kind”.

Duncan told the Daily Mail: “He is a very handsome boy. It’s new and it’s exciting. He’s a real sweetheart. He’s a bit of a love bug, which is sweet. And he’s showering me lots of love.

“And he’s like a big gentle giant. So it’s just really, he’s really kind, really considerate. And it’s just been fun.” He said Alexander has already his mother, Fiona Inglis, and the other Blue members – Simon Webbe, Antony Costa, and Lee Ryan – and they all like him.

He added that Alexander understands the public interest in their relationship – however, he was keen to stress that he is not just a stripper, but also an actor. Rumours of a relationship started spreading after Duncan attended the Hollyoaks party with Alexander and then shared a photo featuring the model, drag queen Danny Beard and Ruby O’Donnell.

When he was still dating Rodrigo, Duncan revealed how he met his ex while in Belgium for a gig with Blue. Speaking on ITV’s Loose Women, he said, “We met a couple of years ago in Belgium. I was doing a gig with the boys and I met Rodrigo at the after-party. I saw him across the bar and […] he was very much my type. I was like: ‘He’s hot.'”

However, the pair split over the summer, with the boyband star confessing to starting a “new chapter” as he wrote on social media: “Summer 2025 – a season of sea, sun, and soul-soothing magic. Grateful for family, friends, and adventures that filled my heart. From quiet healing to laughter under golden skies, and neon lights … this chapter was one of growth, love, magic and light. Here’s to carrying the glow into every season ahead.”

A source told The Sun at the time: “Duncan and Rodrigo have gone their separate ways after six years. A break-up is never easy but Duncan has been throwing himself into the band and keeping his mind occupied with music.”

Duncan has previously admitted that he struggled with coming out as gay while being a boyband star was extremely difficult. Recalling the intense scrutiny during his time with Blue, he said, “I remember when I was in Blue the first time around, there were all these rumours I was dating my friends Geri, Martine and Tara [Palmer- Tomkinson] and I used to feel relieved.”

“That’s why we waited to tell you all, but the bump is now impossible to hide, and Stanley’s been proudly announcing “Mummy has a baby in her tummy!” to anyone who’ll listen. He has also decided he has a baby in his tummy too!”

She finished off the post with: “ Christmas with our little man feels extra magical this year, and then a new family chapter begins in 2026.”

Sam, a proud dad and husband, left a sweet comment, writing: “I can’t wait for our family to grow again. It definitely has been an anxious journey for us both over the last 10 months and I still feel it each day that passes. I love being a father and watching you grow as a mother. And to see Stanley become a big brother will be a special experience. Love you millions.”

The former Love Island star was flooded with congratulatory messages. Molly-Mae commented: “Awwwww mama!!!! Congratulations”, while Yasmin Pettet wrote: “omg congratulations!!! Xx”.

Another follower wrote: “SO happy for you mama! And so sorry about your news, you’re so strong. Sending you so much love. I can’t wait to watch you guys xxx”, while a fourth said: “Aww so happy for you, sorry for your losses”.

She opened up to OK! Earlier this year where she said she would ‘love’ to have more children and admitted that they were ‘trying’.

She said at the time: “I’d love more children. We’re trying at the moment. It’s obviously not been as simple as it was with Stanley, but I’m manifesting and doing all the right things. I’m doing intermittent fasting to try and lose some weight, because though my BMI is not crazy high, it’s higher than what’s recommended for the optimum weight for getting pregnant.”

She added: “I feel like at the moment it’s quite hard to talk about online. Once, hopefully, I have some good news, then I’ll be able to share more and help others.”

Myleene Klass has opened up about her time in court last month, where Peter Windsor, 61, was found guilty of stalking Myleene and her Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick

Former Hear’Say star Myleene Klass has opened up about her ‘horrific experience’ in court last month, where she was cross-examined and was made to doubt herself. She appeared in Birmingham Crown Court in October, where Peter Windsor, 61, was found guilty of stalking Myleene and her Classic FM colleague Katie Breathwick.

Myleene told Birmingham Crown Court of her ‘sheer terror’ at discovering numerous items had been sent to the radio station’s central London studios, including fancy dress outfits and an air pistol.

Myleene said, ‘It was a horrific experience’, adding she ‘underestimated’ the court experience and said they made her feel like she had done something wrong.

She told The Times: “Court was the most sobering part. I underestimated it. My goodness, the way women who take the stand are made to feel they’ve done something wrong, to prove they didn’t want these items and this attention. ‘How did you feel when you received this? How did you know the stalking was real?’ I don’t know how people get through it.”

Myleene was questioned on how she knew the handcuffs were real and how she knew the gun was real. “They had to bring in police to tell the jury, ‘This is a gun,’ and have them feel it. It was utterly ludicrous point scoring. I was asked why I didn’t tell my stalker to stop. That stopped me in my tracks. I had to admit it hadn’t occurred to me to write back to my stalker and ask him to keep away. Their response was, like, ‘Gotcha!’”

Giving evidence against Peter Windsor, Myleene said she was informed in an email in August last year of an “accumulation” of items sent to her by the 61-year-old.

Peter Windsor denies stalking both Myleene and her Classic FM colleague Katie by sending items to the station’s central London studios between 2020 and 2024.

Myleene told the court she was shown a list of items and photographs of some of the letters after being informed of them, having previously not been told about the mail to avoid worrying her.

Answering questions from prosecutor Timothy Sapwell, Myleene said: “It was very clear very quickly that it was a highly volatile selection of items.

“It was a huge shock, especially the extent to which it had escalated.

“It was pretty overwhelming when you have the accumulation of a bundle of this information. It’s pretty terrifying.”

Legendary actress Victoria Wood has been given a huge honour with a theatre being named after her, a decade after she died aged 62, having battled cancer

View 3 Images

Victoria Wood is to have a theatre named in her honour in her beloved Lake District. The 260-seat Old Laundry Theatre in Bowness-on-Windermere has announced that it is to become the Victoria Wood Theatre from January. Wood, who died in 2016, opened the theatre and staged several of her own works there, including Talent in 2008 and a stage adaptation of Housewife 49 in 2013.

Wood had a cottage in nearby Ambleside, which she left to her children, Grace and Henry, after her death in 2016 at the age of 62. Her will instructed them not to sell it ‘so long as it’s enjoyed by family’.

The comedian was also a trustee and patron of the Old Laundry Theatre, which was opened in 1992 by husband-and-wife team Roger Glossop and Charlotte Scott in a disused laundry. They also turned the neighbouring building into the World of Beatrix Potter attraction, which Wood officially opened.

Glossop told the Sunday Times: “People do forget very quickly. The trust is intent on people remembering Vic and her remarkable talent. So what we want from these legacy projects is to keep the name bouncing along.”

The couple first met Wood while working as stage manager and designer on Wood’s musical Talent at the Sheffield Crucible in 1978 and remained lifelong friends, going on family holidays together.

Scott explained: “With young families in tow (hers and ours), we followed Vic’s career as she toured up and down the country, always returning to re-charge in the Lake District. By the time we opened the venue in 1991, followed by the theatre in 1992, Vic, together with Alan Rickman, Griff Rhys Jones, Andre Ptaszynski, Peter James, and Alan Ayckbourn all became trustees and the journey began.”

The renaming will coincide with the world premiere of jukebox musical Fourteen Again, a brand new show featuring Wood’s music and lyrics.

Tom MacRae, who co-wrote the musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, has written the script for the show. He wants the musical to work for fans of Wood’s work and for newcomers too.

He said: ”How do you explain Victoria Wood to people who have no context for her? I say, ‘She is probably one of the most beloved British comedians of them all, working at a time when there were very few female comedians and a consensus that women weren’t funny.

“And yet you never think of her as being this trailblazer. She was just the funniest person you wanted to watch. She was just Victoria Wood. She was brilliant. There was an absolute determination within her. But everyone felt like they were friends with her.”

Wood, died from cancer aged 62 in April 2016. She found fame in the 1980s and was best known for her BBC sketch Acorn Antiques and comedy Dinnerladies. She won five Baftas including two for her one-off ITV drama Housewife, 49.

At the time of her death long-time comedy partner Julie Walters said she was “too heart sore to comment – the loss of her is incalculable”.
