After flogging her Married At First Sight wedding down online, Holly Ditchfield will be walking down the aisle again after Aaron Summers proposed over dinner this weekend

Married At First Sight star Holly Ditchfield has announced she is engaged to her convicted drug dealer boyfriend weeks after the pair went official.

Father-of-three Aaron Summers popped the question this weekend over dinner after the TikTok personality surprised the reality star on Saturday night.

She will be a bride again after her marriage to 28-year-old aviation operator Alex Henry, from Birmingham, crumbled on the E4 show.

Days after they started dating, it was revealed Aaron, 28, had pleaded guilty to possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply back in 2021. He also pleaded guilty to being in possession of criminal property.

She announced her big news on Instagram, writing: “The easiest ‘YES’. You bring the best out of me, you care about my opinion, you make me feel safe with being vulnerable, you allow my imperfect days, we work through conflict, you’re my support network, you give me 100 per cent every single day.

“I finally understand the meaning of ‘finding the one’. I love you.”

A source told The Sun in March he has been honest with Holly from the start. “Holly and Aaron had been talking for a few weeks and finally met up last weekend,” they said.

The 29-year-old reality star from Huddersfield is among the cast of the 2024 season of E4’s chaotic dating show – which sees strangers get married the moment they meet. She may regret selling her dress online last year after flogging it on Vinted. She initially planned to sell the gown for £800 but had to slash the price after buyers failed to show interest.

Listed as “My MAFS wedding dress”, the reality star wrote: “£700 till Friday! ( will deliver or collection is available if local) to save delivery rates.” Her original posting image it clear that the dress was worth more than double what she is now asking for.

The live-action remake of the animated classic was a box office flop and was widely panned by critics

Disney’s latest venture into live-action remakes has unfortunately not been the magical success story we’re used to. Snow White, set for digital release this Tuesday, 13th May, has been met with grim reviews and dismal box office returns.

Regrettably, this highly anticipated fantasy tale turned out to be more of a nightmare, scraping together just $202.8 million globally on a mammoth budget estimated between $240–270 million, marking it as one of Disney’s most notable flops.

The film, which stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, will be up for grabs on platforms like Prime Video, Sky Store, Apple TV, and Google TV, though it won’t join the ranks of free streaming offerings or make an appearance on Disney+ for now.

If you’re keen to watch, brace yourselves – it’ll cost you roughly £19.99 to own or £15.99 to rent what many have decried as one of the decade’s worst films.

Critics on Rotten Tomatoes handed it a lacklustre 40 percent, yet moviegoers were kinder, bestowing a 72 percent approval.

Despite once being the lowest-rated movie on IMDb ever, Snow White has certainly stirred up strong feelings across the board, reports the Mirror US.

One particularly dissatisfied Google reviewer didn’t mince words: “This film is a disgrace to the original classic-a soulless, uninspired cash grab that lacks charm, heart, or any justification for its existence.

“What a shame. This movie is garbage.”

Summarising the general sentiment, a Reddit user remarked: “I’d go with like a 3.5/10. Way too many musical numbers and any not involving Zegler were pretty bad imo.

“That led to not enough dialogue and a really weak plot and character development. The love story was so weak that for a while I was certain they hadn’t even introduced the love interest yet.

“Also the costume design was pretty laughable. The dwarves were really the only redeeming quality imo.”

Gadot’s performance was also singled out by fans as detrimental: “This movie was painfully bad. Gal Gadot made this so unbearable.

“CGI was absolute s***. Don’t [even] get me started on the writing and dialogue. The only positive thing about this film was Rachel.

“Great showing from her but everything else no Bueno. Save yourself the trouble and don’t see this.”

However, not everyone’s thumbs were pointing down. In stark contrast, another user argued in favour of the reimagining, saying: “The Snow White remake is everything I hoped for in a modern reimagining.

“It maintains the heart of the original story while expanding it with new storylines and beautiful songs.

“In many ways, it feels like a West End or Broadway adaptation – taking the core material and transforming it with fresh ideas, characters, and a more immersive experience.”

As opinions diverge, the question hangs in the air – will you hit play or pass on the Snow White remake when it drops this week?

The Princess of Wales has revealed “nature has been my sanctuary” during her cancer treatment in a brand new video series celebrating the beauty of the UK in the changing seasons. The footage, which shows both Kate and Prince William enjoying their wedding anniversary on the Isle of Mull last month, forms part of a video called ‘Mother Nature’, which will be part of a quarterly series that is being spearheaded by the princess.

The aim of the series is to highlight humanity’s longstanding connection to nature, as well as nature’s capacity “to inspire us and help us to heal and grow in mind, body and spirit”. The three-minute film is narrated by Kate, who is now in remission from cancer, and shows her admiring the beauty of Mull as well as hugging her husband.

She says: “Over the past year, nature has been my sanctuary. The natural world’s capacity to inspire us, to nurture us and help us heal and grow is boundless and has been understood for generations.

“It is through nature, that we can fully understand the true interconnectedness of all things, the importance of balance and the importance of renewal and resilience. Connecting to nature helps us to experience a deeper sense of ourselves, the world around us, and each other.

“Spring is a season of rebirth, of hope and new beginnings. From the dark days of winter, the outside world quietly awakens with new life, and there comes a sense of optimism, anticipation, and positive, hopeful change. Just as nature revives and renews so too can we. Let us reconnect to nature and celebrate a new dawn within our hearts.

“It is often from the smallest of seeds that the greatest change can happen, and in this ever-growing complex world, we need to hold on to what connects us all. Spring is here, so let’s make the most of it together.”

The video’s release coincides with the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, which begins today. The film spotlights Spring and will be followed by Summer, Autumn and Winter editions in due course.

In a personal message with the video, Kate adds: “This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, we are celebrating humanity’s longstanding connection to nature, and its capacity to inspire us and help us to heal and grow in mind, body and spirit. As we confront the challenges of an increasingly complex and digital world, the importance of the connection between humanity and nature takes on even more significance.

“The Mother Nature series is a reminder and reflection of the beauty and complexity of the human experience. It is a tribute to the lessons we can learn from nature, helping us to foster our own growth, strengthen our bonds with the world around us and each other. C.”

Kate’s interest in nature follows on from her ‘Back to Nature’ garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2019 and her longtime relationship with the Scouts, which focuses on enabling children and young people to experience the outdoors and natural world.

It has also been a theme of her charitable work – engaging with children in nature through the Natural History Museum and seeing the benefit that nature has for children and their families receiving hospice care at East Anglia Children’s Hospice and more recently, Ty Hafan children’s hospice in Wales.

Kate has long advocated the benefits of spending time in the natural world, previously revealing how nature became her family’s ‘sanctuary’ in the wake of her cancer diagnosis and during her chemotherapy treatment.

She also opened up last month in personal insight into what nature means to her, admitting: “I find it a very spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection I suppose, these environments.

“Not everyone has that same relationship perhaps with nature, but it is so therefore meaningful for me as a place to balance and find a sort of sense of peace and reconnection in what is otherwise a very busy world.”
