Following Patrick Kielty’s split from This Morning presenter Cat Deeley, whom he married in Rome in September 2012, those close to him have expressed their concern.

Patrick Kielty will be “in a very dark place” if Cat Deeley returns to the US with their children, insiders say.

The couple announced this week they have separated following a 13-year marriage, a bombshell which has reportedly led to huge concern for both parties. Residents in Dundrum, County Down – Patrick’s hometown – shared their worry for the 54-year-old star, who married Cat in Rome in September 2012.

Some who know Patrick, who has two children with Cat, fear the presenter would be devastated if his ex goes back to the US, where the couple used to live. One insider said: “Everyone is worried about Paddy. The fear is that Cat will go back to America with the little ones. That will leave him in a very dark place.” This comes as it has emerged other showbiz couple Helen Skelton and Gethin Jones split after he joined a notorious dating app on a lads’ holiday.

Cat began presenting ITV’s This Morning last year alongside Ben Shephard, following the departures of Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby. However, since she and Patrick confirmed their split, it emerged 48-year-old Cat found the return to the UK difficult.

And so concern has grown Cat, who started her career hosting SMTV Live on Saturday mornings, could quite her ITV job and pack her bags for the US once more. Television insiders told Mail Online: “Cat’s time on This Morning has not been a failure, but it has hardly been a roaring success.

She is subjected to a lot of scrutiny every day, and unlike most British presenters, she has plenty more lucrative options to choose from in the States… There is concern that she might leave because of all this family drama.

Cat and Patrick, a comedian and TV host, had lived in Los Angeles for more than 14 years, where Cat presented the reality TV show, So You Think You Can Dance. They returned and Cat swiftly started on This Morning, which is understood to be one of several ITV daytime shows subject to budget cuts. The broadcaster recently announced plans for a shake-up, which includes cutting Lorraine by 30 minutes and dropping it altogether during school holidays from January. It is believed This Morning is set to move from its base in White City, west London, to a smaller, cheaper studio in the centre of the capital.

Dolly Parton, a long-time friend of Jeannie Seely, claims that the soulful singer from Titusville, Pennsylvania, had “a wonderful sense of humor.” She was a pioneer in country music.

Dolly Parton has paid a heartbreaking tribute to her longtime friend – and country music trailblazer – Jeannie Seely.

Seely, 85, died on Friday following complications from an intestinal infection following a career which spanned more than six decades. She won a Grammy in 1967 for her hit Don’t Touch Me, an award which propelled her career in performance and made Seely a trailblazer for women in country music.

Reacting to Seely’s passing today, Parton, 79, said on Instagram: “I have known Jeannie Seely since we were early on in Nashville. She was one of my dearest friends. I think she was one of the greater singers in Nashville and she had a wonderful sense of humour. We had many wonderful laughs together, cried over certain things together and she will be missed.”

Seely died eight months after the passing of her husband Eugene Ward, who had a journey with cancer and it is thought also knew Parton. Seely’s career influenced Parton’s music and the latter won her first Grammy in 1979, some 12 years after Seely had bagged her sole one. Parton has since celebrated 10 more Grammy Awards, her most recent – Best Contemporary Christian Music Performance/Song – coming in 2021 for There Was Jesus.

But, like Seely, Parton lost her husband recently as Carl Dean – whom she wed in 1966 – passed away in Nashville, Tennessee. His ill-health happened at the same time as Seely’s, as she had two emergency abdominal surgeries in recent months.

However, the rebellious singer from Titusville, Pennsylvania, said: “Rehab is pretty tough, but each day is looking brighter, and last night, I saw a light at the end of the tunnel.” I was aware that it was mine because it was neon. The unsinkable Seely is “working her way back.”

Seely hasn’t stopped playing on Grand Ole Opry, a popular live country music radio program in the US, since then. The tragic performer will be the subject of Saturday’s Grand Ole Opry performance. Since 1967, Seely has appeared on the program more than 5, 000 times overall.

After becoming one of the greatest wrestlers of all time and winning numerous world championships, Hulk Hogan passed away from acute myocardial infarction, also known as a heart attack.

Wrestling legend Hulk Hogan will be cremated, according to his official death certificate released today.

The ceremony for the six-time World Wrestling Federation (WWF – now WWE) champion will occur at the Bay Area Crematory in Clearwater, Florida, the city where Hogan – real name Terry Bollea – had been living at the time of his passing. It is unclear at this stage, though, whether the cremation will be part of a public or private funeral, or if the ceremony will have elements of each, similar to Ozzy Osbourne’s procession and service this week.

But the death certificate – seen by the media today – shows the star’s memorial service has been booked at the Sylvan Abbey Memorial Park and Funeral Home, also in Clearwater. Hogan died at 71 following a cardiac arrest at his home in the city on Thursday July 24.

It was indeed confirmed this week Hogan, a father of two, had an acute myocardial infarction, commonly known as a heart attack. Documents obtained by PageSix state Hogan had a history of atrial fibrillation (AFib), which is a heart condition characterised by an irregular and often rapid heart rate.

Details around Hogan’s funeral were scant in recent days but it has now been confirmed the late athlete’s mortal remains will be cremated. The certificate, as seen by TMZ, also shows Hogan’s death was officially attributed to natural causes.

And a spokesperson for the the Pinellas County Forensic Science Center, assisting in the autopsy, today told Page Six: “I’m not aware of when Mr. Bollea will be cremated, only that we’ve received a request for cremation approval.”

The media personality, who was born in Augusta, Georgia, had a history of leukemia CLL, which is a type of cancer that affects white blood cells called lymphocytes. It is understood the dad was battling this when he made his final WWE appearance in January in Inglewood California – where members of the audience booed him. His longtime pal and manager, Jimmy Hart, recently said Hogan was shocked by the negative reaction he received from the audience and claimed it “bothered him”.

Jimmy explained on the podcast Stories With Brisco and Bradshaw, “We go out and we had a mixed response. I’ll be darned if there are 500 cheerleaders and one booer, but I won’t be that way.
