Greg Davies, who has been receiving negative health news from his doctor, has admitted to using Ozempic to lose weight. The 57-year-old comedian and television host named the diabetic medication in an interview and made the claim that she had lost three stone.

Although many patients have reported weight loss as a side effect, Ozempic is not intended to treat type 2 diabetes in adults. Since then, weight-loss medications that use the ingredient semaglutide have increased in popularity thanks to its ability to boost metabolism and lower appetite.

Greg opened up in a new interview about his personal health and how ageing is perceived in the spotlight. Additionally, he revealed that his 6′ 8″ frame concealed a startling warning that his doctor had given him.

He claimed to have lost three stone during the previous Olympics before putting the majority back on in about four months. Additionally, the interview details his doctor’s warning that if he was shorter, he would “look obese” and that he is now considering using the fast to keep his weight.

He continued, “I think that’s probably good in my game, isn’t it, isn’t it,” noting that he is not worried about getting older. He made a rare mention of his romantic life in the same interview.

Greg, who prefers to keep his private life largely private, said he thought it was a good idea to keep his current personal life to himself and that he is currently dating.

We’re an unlikely couple, Alex said, before Greg saying, “That’s why we’re a good team.”

After Greg joked, “I don’t have a wife, so maybe I can thank Alex’s wife,” Alex then quipped, “And I would like to thank my wife for getting us here tonight.”

Greg responded by saying, “Maybe I will, I’m open to it. Tom suggested Greg could find a famous wife at the glittery awards show. It would be wonderful because I’ve been waiting too long and ready.

Greg was previously in a relationship with Labour Party politician Liz Kendall between 2007 and 2015. Liz previously opened up to The Mirror about their romance.

She stated, “I don’t want to be the kind of politician who handles everyone’s private life because it’s very important to me and very precious to me that I have that space.” Even though we are no longer friends, we are still incredibly close friends.

The Royal Variety Performance is an annual, televised variety show in the United Kingdom, attended by senior members of the British Royal Family, to raise money for the Royal Variety Charity. It is the longest-running entertainment show in the world.

The main goal of the show is to raise money for the Royal Variety Foundation, which provides assistance, care, and assistance to members of the entertainment industry who are in financial difficulty, old age, or ill-health. A wide range of family-friendly entertainment is provided during the gala evening, including top comedians’ comedy, musical performances from West End musical casts, dance, magic, and other speciality acts.

The winner of the ITV talent show Britain’s Got Talent is traditionally given a spot to perform at the Royal Variety Performance too, which is magician Harry Moulding this year.

The event is attended by senior members of the Royal Family, with the reigning monarch acting as the charity’s patron. This year, the Prince and Princess of Wales were at the event instead of King Charles. No specific reason was giving for the King not attending.

Prince William, 43, looked dapper at the Royal Albert Hall dressed in a black tux and bow tie, meanwhile Princess Kate, 43, donned a floor-length, off-the-shoulder emerald green velvet gown by the German designer Talbot Runhof.

Kate wore significant royal heirlooms, a silver Jenny Packham “Casa” clutch bag, and dark green velvet Manolo Blahnik “BB” pointed-toe pumps. Queen Mary’s Choker Bracelet, an Art Deco diamond piece from the 1920s, was one of the items she had on hand as a bracelet, along with the Greville Diamond Chandelier earrings, a Cartier pair that was once given to Queen Elizabeth II.

Kate, who had missed the 2024 performance due to her cancer treatment and recovery, made her comeback to the annual event with this appearance. Given that green is frequently associated with new beginnings, growth, and reassurance, according to fashion commentators, his choice was poignant.

According to the report, the fashion choice “was a strategic and meaningful statement for her public re-emergence” and “the glamorous look” “balanced traditional Hollywood style with contemporary, regal quality.”

Kate’s nighttime outfit retails for about £1,600, but we’ve luckily found you a high street alternative if you don’t have that much money.

The Scarlett & Jo Forest Green Verity Velvet Maxi Gown was £120, but is currently down to just £47 and is available from Next’s website.

A stunning maxi gown is described in the description. This exquisite gown has Scarlett & Jo’s signature Magicband inbuilt waist corset that enhances shape and supports a flattering wrap bodice.

A fully flowing skirt that sways to sway and swirls also appears in this gown. The dress is limited edition and looks stunning when worn, with 3/4 sleeves set into a pretty shoulder line with small detachable shoulder pads.

People were loving Kate’s outfit as photos of them from the event was shared on Reddit. One person wrote: “I love Kate’s dress.” While another added: “The Princess of Wales has always served looks.”

She was referred to as “gorgeous,” according to a fourth writer, who added, “These two royals are just pure class”!

Despite being broadcast on ITV this evening (December 21), the Royal Variety Performance was held back on November 19.

The comedian Jason Manford hosts the show this year, and Midge Ure and Jessie J, Westlife, Katherine Jenkins, and Sir Bob Geldof are just a few of the performers.

Tom Davis, Mick Miller, the Dead Ringers cast, and Stephen Fry also contribute humor. Other entertainers included Airfootworks, America’s Got Talent winners Adrian Stoica and Hurricane, and magician Harry Moulding.

Kate Winslet, the Oscar-winning actress, has revealed how cruel taunts from classmates and even teachers led to her developing a serious health issue. She claimed that the drama school staff had treated her poorly, which sparked an eating disorder, because she wasn’t as slim as some of the other girls in her acting class.

She explained on BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs: “I really remem­ber vividly a drama teacher who many people have wrongly assumed was a man – it was actu­ally a woman – and she said to me, ‘Well darling, you’ll have a career if you’re happy to settle for the fat girl parts’.”

She continued, “from the age of 15 to the age of 19,” adding that she was “on and off diets.” Kate eventually claimed that she was no longer eating and that she was “really unhealthy.”

The only thing I really regret about my life is that, according to Kate, it’s the only thing I’ll ever regret because, she said, “Oh my God, do I look fatter, do I look fatter, do I look fatter? “, the host of the program Lauren Laverne. That continued for a very long time.

You lot, you were bloody horrible to me, and you should be ashamed, she told her former classmates.

Kate recalls that her primary school days were the source of the bullying: “I had many kids tease me at primary school. They would refer to me as “Blubber.”

I wasn’t even too heavy, they said. They would lock me in the art cup­board and say, “Blubber’s blub­bing in the art cup­board,” and other similar phrases. I just had stocky thighs.

The multi-BAFTA award-winning actress recalls how, at the age of 15, the other girls at her school began to hate her talent: “They hated me then. When I went back to school, I was reminded that their desks had been moved to the other side of the room and I had been pushed into a corner.

She claimed she had “pretty thick skin” and put herself in drama school because, according to Kate, “the school meant people became as illogical as I could possibly make them.” I would not allow them to ruin a trajectory I had been determined to be on.

Kate has since developed into one of the most admired and respected actresses of her generation due to the trajectory she took. The 50-year-old actress has a range of impressive acting talents, including Juliet Hulme’s role in The Reader and Juliet Hulme’s role in Titanic, which won her an Academy Award for Best Actress in 2008 for.

This year she made her directorial debut with the Netflix drama film Goodbye June, which she also produced and starred in.
