Dan, 32, has also recently been accused of sending flirty texts to Paddy McGuinness’ ex-wife, Christine, however his pal claimed the dad-of-three would ‘hate for there to be any suggestion of impropriety’, adding ‘a man and woman can be mates’.

Today, Dan’s wife, Jac, also 32, told the TOWIE star how important he was to their family as she shared a snap of her husband in his Calvin Klein pyjama bottoms opening cards and presents from his daughters and son, Teddy.

The children had made their dad cakes, iced with ‘King of Hearts’ and photos of Dan as the proud father-of-three enjoyed the morning at home. Documenting the special day, Jac also shared a photo of her husband with their daughters, with the caption: “Happy Father’s Day @danosborneofficial – the best daddy ever.”

After announcing they had decided to spend time apart in March, Jac and Dan seemed like they were not ready to give each up just yet as they jetted off to Mexico for a “make or break” family holiday with their children. Speaking to the Mirror, a source said the pair were “trying to fall back in love with each other again.”

They explained: “They’ve had a rocky, up and down relationship so now they’re trying to do things differently and give each other more space at home, while enjoying this holiday. Jacqueline and Dan want to be together for their children and do want to be a family, but now it’s a case of remembering why they were together in the first place.”

However, recently, the couple, who have just come back from a family trip to Ireland, were rocked again when Dan was accused of sending saucy messages to former Miss Liverpool, Christine.

Christine wasin the middle of a divorce with comedian, Paddy, and it was thought the pair found solace in each other’s situation and formed a strong bond. The Real Housewives of Cheshire star’s marriage was over, but Dan was reportedly still trying to mend his broken home with Jac.

According to The Sun, the pair who have known each other since 2019, had stayed in touch over the years and remained friendly when they bumped into each other, but sparks soon became noticeable.

A source told the publication: “They stayed in touch sporadically and would bump into each other at events and their messages got pretty flirty. Some were seen by mutual friends.

“She would call him ‘D’ in texts, and it became an open secret among their circles. There is no suggestion anything sexual happened, but it’s fair to say there was a spark between them.”

The insider insisted: “She is absolutely adamant nothing sexual happened between them. She also was 100 per cent single at the time and could chat to anyone she wanted.”

Dan is also adamant there was no romance between the pair with a pal saying: “Dan is devoted to Jacqueline and would hate for any suggestion of impropriety. Of course, it’s possible for a man and woman to be mates.”

Noughties playboy who Katie Price dumped for Peter Andre lives a very different life now

Katie Price was dating millionaire’s son Scott Sullivan – and reported to be engaged to him – before finding love with Pete Andre back in 2004

Back in the early Noughties, Katie Price was in a relationship before she jetted off to Australia to appear on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! and clapped eyes on future husband Peter Andre.

She went on to flirt with Mysterious Girl singer Pete throughout the series, even telling him that the man she’d left at home – millionaire’s son Scott Sullivan – was “a nice guy, but I’m not going to marry him… I know he’s not the one.”

Scott, who Katie is believed to have been dating for two years at the time and is even said to have proposed to her before she went in the jungle, reportedly threatened to fly Down Under to confront Pete and ‘punch his lights out.’

And it was claimed more than just flirting had happened between Katie and Pete than was shown in the show, as they apparently came within ‘millimetres’ of bonking on camera. Within days of getting together after the series ended, Katie and Pete declared themselves ‘in love’.

They went on to marry in a lavish £2 million ceremony in Hampshire in 2005 and have two kids – Junior and Princess, now 20 and 17 – before it all went wrong and they divorced in 2009.

But what happened to heartbroken Scott, who dated a string of glamour models back in the day? We take a look at his life now, which is very glamorous to when we last saw him.

Now thought to be in his late thirties, Scott is a successful businessman who owns private plane charter firm Shy Aviation and luxury travel concierge service Shy Lifestyle, that’s so exclusive it’s invite only – flying the likes of Gossip Girl pal Ed Westwick round the world.

After dating the likes of glamour models Jodie Marsh and Bianca Gascoigne, he romanced former Made In Chelsea star Caggie Dunlop before finding love with Caggie’s MIC love rival Funda Onal, who also used to date Spencer Matthews.

The couple married in 2017 and a year later announced Funda was pregnant with their first child. Sharing an intimate shot of him kissing his wife’s bump, Scott captioned the photo: “A new family is born.”

Funda, now 40, is a model, actor and dancer who has appeared in campaigns for Nike and Adidas, as well as music videos for Calvin Harris and Tinie Tempah – appears to be a mum to two girls now, with her youngest appearing on her social media from 2022 meaning they are likely to be aged around seven and three.

Though it’s not been reported that Scott and Funda have split, there are no pictures of Scott on her Instagram anymore – nor is she on his. And Scott – who has only posted one snap of a little girl on his socials back in 2020 – now appears to be in a new relationship and is preparing to be a father again.

Tagging a woman called Katherine Scott, who has recently appeared on his social media feed, he shared a black and white photo looking down at her pregnant belly. He captioned the post from May 31 this year: “A new Soul among us.”

And it seems Katherine is indeed his other half as one follower congratulated them on the happy news and wrote: “Such a stunning couple, inside and out.” “Beyond happy for you both,” another said.

“This gave me chills, so much love in one photo,” a third commented, as a fourth added: “A powerful soul it is. Congratulations brother x.”

In other snaps on his social media, Scott is into his cars and extreme sports such as skiing, rock climbing and wakeboarding. He’s also a big fan of Jiu Jitsu and regularly posts snaps from sessions with pals.

Israel kills 23 Palestinians in Gaza, half of them while trying to get aid

Israeli forces have killed 23 Palestinians across Gaza, with at least 11 of them while they were trying to get food at aid sites operated by the United States-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), local authorities have said.

Medics at al-Awda Hospital in central Gaza on Sunday told Al Jazeera that at least three people were killed and dozens wounded by Israeli fire as they tried to approach a GHF site near the so-called Netzarim Corridor.

Two others were killed and more than 50 injured in a shooting at starving Palestinians near the GHF aid point in Rafah’s al-Mawasi area. The dead and the wounded were taken to the nearby Red Cross Hospital, according to medics.

Also, multiple Israeli air raids since dawn on Sunday killed at least 12 Palestinians in southern Gaza. Seven others were killed when an Israeli strike targeted a group of people in Beit Lahiya town in the north of the enclave, medics said.

Alarming levels of hunger have driven people to the few food distribution points in Gaza, but Israeli forces have responded with sniper fire and bombings. Dozens of Palestinians have been killed in near-daily mass shootings, with the GHF accused of weaponising aid.

On Saturday, at least 79 Palestinians were killed, many of them while seeking aid. Medics at al-Awda and Al-Aqsa hospitals in central Gaza said at least 15 people were killed as they tried to approach the GHF aid distribution site near Netzarim Corridor.

There has been no comment from the Israeli military regarding Sunday’s attacks.

‘Execution sites’

The GHF began distributing aid in Gaza at the end of May after Israel partially lifted a three-month total blockade of food, medicines and other essential items.

Al Jazeera’s Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, said Palestinians are starting to see GHF distribution hubs as “execution sites”, considering the repeated attacks there.

The GHF said its aid sites were closed on Saturday. But witnesses said thousands of people had gathered near the sites anyway, desperate for food as Israel’s punishing blockade and military campaign have driven the territory to the brink of famine.

Earlier this month, operations at the group’s aid distribution hubs were also temporarily halted following several incidents of deadly violence, in which Israeli forces opened fire on Palestinian aid seekers.

The Gaza Ministry of Health said in a statement on Saturday that at least 274 people have so far been killed, and more than 2,000 wounded, near aid distribution sites since the GHF began operations in Gaza.

The Israeli military has admitted to shooting at aid seekers, but claimed it opened fire only when “suspects” deviated from a stipulated route to the GHF distribution site.

Hamas, which rejects Israeli charges that it steals aid, has accused Israel of “employing hunger as a weapon of war and turning aid distribution sites into traps of mass deaths of innocent civilians”.

The United Nations has also labelled the GHF aid distribution as inadequate, dangerous, and a violation of humanitarian principles.

“GHF, I think it’s fair to say, has been, from a principled humanitarian standpoint, a failure,” Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), told reporters in Geneva on Friday. “They are not doing what a humanitarian operation should do, which is providing aid to people where they are, in a safe and secure manner.”

Hollywood actress Gwyneth Paltrow sent shockwaves throughout social media after posing topless while cooking her husband a “boyfriend breakfast.” The American actress, 52, who married Brad Falchuck in 2018, was seen with her back to the camera as she stood over her impressive stove, while making a Tuscan inspired meal for her beloved.

She captioned the racy post saying: “This was a Tuscan inspired high protein #boyfriendbreakfast skillet with sausage from the local butcher, white beans, spinach, cherry tomatoes and of course eggs.”

Despite having no clothes on, on her top half, Gywneth protected her modesty with a pair of white pyjama shorts teamed with a pair of slippers. With her hair tied back into a French plait, she shared the sumptuous meal accompanied by a song by Starfish And Coffee.

Ands in moments of the clip going live, fans wasted no time in commenting on her post. One person said: “love it! thanks for your light.”

However, not everybody was as keen on her sexy post. One person wrote: “Lil dangerous to be cooking with no shirt on, wow this is rich people faking life.” A second person moaned “Anything for attention.”

This is not the first time the Shakespeare In Love star has posed topless on social media. Back in 2021, to celebrate her 49th birthday she shared a picture of herself in the bath.

The year before, she was seen running around exploring nature in the woods.

Never one to avoid an opportunity to advertise her brand Goop, she captioned the post saying: “In nothing but my birthday suit today… thank you all so much for the birthday wishes and thank you to @goop‘s insanely amazing brand new body butter for making me think I can still get my kit off.”

Gwyneth is starring in an upcoming film with heartthrob Timothee Chalamet. And it seems the actress was not shy in coming forward with discussing the explicit scenes she shares with the actor.

In an interview with Vanity Fair, Gwyneth opens up on her film Marty Supreme, which is due for release in December this year.

She told the publication: “I mean, we have a lot of sex in this movie … there’s a lot — a lot.”

When asked by the journalist if she was in “a lot of vulnerable positions”, she responded: “Beyond.”

While Gywneth’s love life is heating up and in and off of the kitchen, her ex husband Chris Martin has suffered heartache this month. The Coldplay star has split from long term girlfriend Dakota Johnson.

Boultucanu & home comforts – how historic Queen’s unfolded

Packed crowds, British feel-good energy and the emergence of ‘Boultucanu’ – the historic women’s tournament at Queen’s has delivered.

When qualifier Tatjana Maria lifted the trophy in west London it ended Olga Morozova’s 52-year reign as women’s champion at the iconic venue.

Hosting a women’s event for the first time since 1973 is a moment many feel has been “a long time coming”.

There were concerns, however, over the impact on the grass courts, with the men’s tournament beginning at the same venue on Monday.

Quintessentially British experience embraced by fans

When action got under way on day one the general feeling was ‘it’s about time’.

Queen’s has long been a staple of the men’s schedule, and a huge draw for fans in the build-up to Wimbledon. The absence of a women’s tournament had felt like a missed opportunity.

Players recalled watching the men compete, either on TV or as a spectator, and wishing they could take part. Britain’s Katie Boulter later said she had been “dreaming” about playing on the main court.

“It has been a long time coming,” former British number one Robson told BBC 5 Live.

“I didn’t realise just how many players have watched this tournament on TV.

“To see it come together in the last few months has been stressful but in the best way, because you want it to be perfect.”

Walking around the grounds of Queen’s does, in some ways, feel like a ‘mini Wimbledon’.

It is a quintessentially British tennis experience: punters dressed in their finery, Pimm’s in full flow and a beautiful setting, with as much care taken of the flowers and greenery as the pristine courts.

It has the same bustling feeling that envelops SW19, with fans queueing at the merchandise stalls or craning their necks at the practice courts for a glimpse of the players.

So it was fitting that British icon Sir Andy Murray, a long-time advocate and ally of the women’s game, delivered the coin toss for the first women’s match on the main court now bearing his name.

Britons relish in Queen’s ‘reward’

The positive energy around the club was further fuelled by a successful week for the British contingent, who quickly made themselves at home.

Many already live and train in London. Sleeping in their own beds and being around friends and family was a rare, welcome treat in a packed tennis calendar.

Emma Raducanu said the home comforts helped her rhythm and perhaps even contributed to what she called her “free and expressive” style at the tournament.

“I had a lot of joy playing here at Queen’s,” said Raducanu after her exit to top seed Zheng Qinwen.

“The crowd was amazing. The support the whole way through every match was really enjoyable for me.”

It was a welcome sight to see the 2021 US Open champion smiling and enjoying herself after a difficult few years. Her matches were always well attended, with cries of “we love you Emma!” heard throughout.

World number 37 Raducanu reached the quarter-finals while Boulter, Sonay Kartal and Heather Watson all lost in the last-16.

Watson, who rode her bike to and from the site each day, said the tournament had “sort of Wimbledon vibes” because of the history.

“I played on Court One in qualifying and the stand was almost full,” the 33-year-old said.

“Having a big tournament here in London, which is the home of British tennis, is huge and very special for us. It feels like a reward.”

Boulter’s fiance, Alex de Minaur, reached the final at Queen’s two years ago. This year, he was able to watch her play before beginning his campaign.

“Queen’s is everything I dreamed it would be,” Boulter said.

“Every single day I have stepped on the court, it’s been a great crowd.

Perhaps the highlight of the tournament – particularly for those who queued for over an hour in the London sun – was Boulter and Raducanu’s surprise doubles pairing.

The duo, now fondly nicknamed ‘Boultucanu’, delighted the 1,000-capacity crowd with their first-round win. Held on the smaller, more intimate Court One, the pair laughed and joked together and chatted with fans at the changes of ends.

‘No complaints’ over court quality

Ticket prices were lower in the WTA week, which will not yet be able to raise anything like the revenue of the long-established men’s event.

Just over 80% of the tickets were purchased before the tournament began and Saturday’s semi-finals were sold out.

“The two tournaments have different personalities and we want to make sure the women’s event has its own identity,” Robson told BBC 5 Live.

“From ticket sales we’ve noticed 55% of the tickets have been sold to women this week. That’s not the case next week.

“We’ve seen a younger, more diverse audience in the crowd, and that’s something we hope to grow in many years to come. This feels like the start of something special.”

Attracting the biggest players is an ongoing challenging. With Queen’s taking place straight after the French Open, only three top-10 players ultimately competed, with world number three Jessica Pegula a late withdrawal.

The total fund this week was £1.043m ($1.415m), compared with £2.122m (2.522m euros) for the men. The LTA has pledged to introduce equal prize money by no later than 2029.

As for the courts, they do show signs of wear and tear after a week of action, but that is to be expected. Tennis correspondent Russell Fuller compared them to “day three or four” at Wimbledon.

“I can’t actually believe how well they’ve held up,” said Robson. “It looks almost pristine still.

“The ground staff have done an incredible job and put in some serious hours.

“So far, no complaints from the ATP players on site, and long may that continue.”

Britain’s Dan Evans, arriving on site while the tournament was ongoing, said the women’s event being held before the men’s had created a better buzz around the venue.

Ultimately, having a standalone women’s event put the spotlight firmly on the female players as the British public begins to turn its attention towards Wimbledon.

“I think it’s a really good opportunity for women’s tennis,” Boulter added.

“It was a massive schedule change and probably quite risky, because we are quite set in our ways.
