She said, “I would have a ball in the jungle.” “Just because I adore people,” I enjoy listening to others’ opinions.

I enjoy finding out why people act the way they do. Would I consider the trials, then? Not likely. I’d consider who I’m going to be dating and how can we have a great time and laugh together.

The 49-year-old star continued, “A fantastic detox with a really nice bunch of people,” to compare any potential jungle adventure.

If the Mandy Dingle actress is indeed heading to Australia, it will be far from her first taste of reality television. After joining the Emmerdale cast in 1995, Lisa has also tried her luck on the Strictly dance floor.

It’s my job now to keep his legacy and his sunshine flowing, all I can say.

She continued, “I’m really lucky, at work I have the most incredible bosses.” We Dingle ladies have a very special place in our dressing room, so I have all of my sisters there. We always admonish one another when the playing field is down.

Brooklyn Beckham had a clear message for wife Nicola Peltz Beckham as he sent her a huge bouquet of flowers, six years on from their first date

Brooklyn Beckham has hinted kids could be on the horizon for him and wife Nicola Peltz Beckham. The entrepreneur, 26, shared a sweet gift with his wife to mark their anniversary.

Nicola, 30, took to her Instagram Stories to share her gift with the world – a bunch of white roses. Brooklyn had also penned an adorable note to the box, insisting he can’t wait for their future together.

While opening up about their potential future, Brooklyn also repeatedly called Nicola “baby” as he gushed over their time together. It appears the son of David and Victoria Beckham was celebrating the day the pair met, rather than their wedding day – which took place in April 2022.

Although the full message wasn’t clear, the intent was visible. Starting by saying “happy anniversary baby,” Brooklyn went on to call his wife “the best thing that ever happened to me”.

He wrote about his excitement in growing old with the actress and “having kiddies together”. He once again shared his love for his wife as the heartfelt message continued.

It comes as his feud with his family, including his siblings, seemingly rumbles on. The split in the Beckham clan became evident when Brooklyn publicly shunned a number of big accolades.

Among those he stayed silent on and failed to attend were his dad’s 50th birthday. He also failed to reach out publicly after the former footballer received a knighthood earlier this year.

Both Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were also notably absent when Victoria debuted her hit Netflix documentary earlier this month. It appeared as though the tension ran deeper into the family too. His brothers, Romeo and Cruz, seemed to remove him from their social media accounts.

However, mum Victoria may have shown recently there is a way back for her eldest son. A simple gesture on his Instagram account could have shown tension is thawing.

Brooklyn was showing off his culinary skills on the platform earlier this month as he made buttermilk pancakes. He added the soundtrack of Eric Clapton’s Wonderful Tonight onto his upload.

It was then that fans spotted his famous parents had “liked” the clip showing their support for him. Despite the public display after months of silence, insiders close to the family have previously claimed that Victoria and David have “accepted they won’t see Brooklyn for the foreseeable future.”

Victoria recently spoke out about her children being branded with the “nepo baby” tag. Speaking to The Sun she said “it’s not their fault, give them a chance.”

Speaking of Cruz’s latest venture, she continued: “Cruz has got music coming out soon. He’s spent the last ten years learning his craft — much like I did with Roland — learning to play instruments. He taught himself to play about seven instruments. He writes his own songs, he’s put a band together.

Taylor Swift reportedly turned down several invitations to be on the Duchess of Sussex’s now-axed podcast, and after those snubs, Prince Harry seemed to have no knowledge of the singer’s latest antics

Prince Harry appeared to draw a blank when questioned about Taylor Swift’s drama with Charli XCX in an awkward moment that comes after the Life of a Showgirl singer snubbed his wife.

Taylor seems to have made an effort to keep her distance from the royal couple, and was reported to have turned down not one, but two separate invitations to appear on Meghan’s podcasts. The Duchess of Sussex hosted Archetypes and Confessions of a Female Founder, which have both now been scrapped.

The awkwardness continues as Harry has now been filmed looking baffled when asked about Taylor’s recent album and her rumoured feud with Charli XCX. The prince was quizzed about the pair’s respective ‘ diss tracks ‘ and the ensuing drama, but instead of answering, he just looked confused.

This happened during an interview with US comedian Hasan Minhaj. The comedian asked Harry: “What do you think of this Charli XCX Taylor Swift beef?”

Harry answered: “The what”? Despite the prince’s obvious lack of knowledge about the tensions between the two singers, Hasan continued and asked what Harry thought of Charli’s ‘ diss track ‘ Sympathy Is A Knife.

The song, which appeared on the album Brat, is thought to be about Charli’s insecurities and how being around Taylor made them worse. Taylor is said to have written her song Actually Romantic, which slams the object of the song as obsessive and mean, as a response.

The prince, who seemed to have no idea what Hasan was talking about, could only crack a smile and slowly nod. His lack of knowledge when it comes to Taylor is very different to his brother, Prince William, who was seen dancing and singing along to Shake It Off at the singer’s Eras Tour last year.

The singer also snapped a selfie with the prince and two of his children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.

This isn’t the first time the pop princess and English prince have met. Taylor and Jon Bon Jovi performed together at a 2013 charity concert, and the two actually sang together.

In a later speech, she praised the prince for his charitable work. Prince William, I want to thank you for having me. It is incredible. To draw attention to teenagers and young adults in particular.

He was “very funny” and not a bad singer, she continued. His voice was good, and I could hear it. a pleasant mood. I’d say he has a star quality, and I’ll be there if he ever wants me to sing along.

Meghan, like her brother-in-law, is reportedly a huge Swiftie who also went on the Eras Tour in 2023. Despite Meghan reportedly sending a personal letter, the two parties are believed to have disagreed, as Taylor refused to allow Meghan to appear on her podcasts.

During the show on Thursday, 30 October, Jane Moore asked Nadia the reason she had her glasses on and opted for a no-makeup look. Nadia joked that in the past, if she wore her glasses, then people would think she was hungover, before she explained that her face felt ‘bruised’ due to her stress levels.

She explained that at first, she thought it was an allergy before saying, “My lovely doctor Zoe came and saw me, I had my own appointment with her in my dressing room, and I told her, honestly Zoe, I think it’s stress,” and she later said, “I think it’s an allergy.”

Nadia outlined Zoe’s suggestion for deep breaths and some “time out.” Nadia continued, “I cry a little bit and then I stop,” adding that she hadn’t cried properly in “two or three years.” That is what I, for real. Why do we believe that stress doesn’t affect our bodies? She continued to thank Zoe and called her a “special woman.”

The Loose Women panellist also shared a video on her Instagram page where she revealed her sister couldn’t believe she was going on live TV ‘looking like that’. Nadia revealed her sister said she looked like she ‘had three bottles of sauvignon blanc’ and had ‘fallen asleep in a hedge’.

One fan wrote, “Bless you Nadia, I hope it clears up quickly;” while another, “Ohhh Nadia, I love how strong and humble you are. Even with puffy eyes, you are gorgeous inside and out. Hope things improve.

It follows after Nadia recently opened up on her 23-year marriage, revealing that it nearly ended over her husband’s intense jealousy. The 60-year-old married husband Mark Adderley in 2002 and has previously opened up about hurdles in their relationship.

Nadia told the ITV show: “My kids hate it what doesn’t kill us makes us stronger but I think that it probably has with Mark and I. I think about when things have been really tough in our marriage and we’ve thought, ‘God we’re not going to get through this’ but then we do.

For him, it would have been during my menopause, when I screamed banshee nutter. I had a lot of trouble and was awful.

Nadia criticized him for his behavior, saying that “he’s been brilliant with his sobriety and then he’s been cross-addicted to jealousy and the jealousy was just awful.” It was terrible.

I told couples’ counselors that we wouldn’t survive unless we worked on this. I love him even more because he has worked on that, which is something that has made me love him.
