Lauren Goodger opens up on celibacy after ‘meaningless exchanges’

Lauren Goodger, a reality star, admitted that she has no longer time for casual relationships and prefers something more serious.

TOWIE star Lauren Goodger has seemingly shared with fans that she is prepared to remain celibate until she meets the right man. This comes after she reposted a quote on her social media which said that the longer a woman stays single, the thought of being intimate with someone who does not meet her needs will make her feel “sick.”

This is not the first time that the reality TV star, 39, who is a mum of one, has expressed her thoughts on celibacy. She had previously been in a relationship with Joey Morrisson.

She posted, “Can’t believe I didn’t have sex for two years,” after the couple split in 2017. After re-posting a message from a man discussing a woman’s perspective on celibacy, it is obvious that Lauren is still determined to remain so.

The idea of someone touching a woman who doesn’t fulfill her mental, physical, and spiritual needs literally makes her feel ill, the post said.

She remarked, “She’s no longer willing to accept meaningless exchanges or relationships that harm and nourish her soul.” The mother of one admitted to having sex with her convicted ex-boyfriend Joey Morrisson for 15 months before telling fans that she hadn’t had it for two years.

And then, at 1 a.m., she took to social media to express her regrets of not having sex for two years. She later deleted her post, though.

After Joey received a prison sentence in 2008 for “serious drug-related offences,” Lauren continued to date him. When Joey and Joey are finally alone, Joey will be sluggish because they will be very busy, she told Closer magazine.

There are many things to do, she continued. He’s worth the wait even though I’ve only been properly celibate for a year. Although I’m very sexual, I’m not interested in being in a relationship with anyone. I want to enjoy the fairytale and unwind. She “stood up speculation that she had rekindled her romantic relationship with Charles Drury,” she continued. According to reports, the pair are on a “double date” with Lauren’s TOWIE co-star Junaid Ahmed this summer.

It was a strong suggestion that they were back together when Junaid Ahmed reposted his Instagram story, which had the tagline “Double dating @joeblackman_98 @laurengoodger @c. drury1.”

She updated her followers on a health issue she had been struggling to treat. Fans were warned by Lauren when she posted a number of photos that showed off her mole removal process. Some of the photos were explicit.

She wrote in the comments section of the post, “I’ve had three moles removed, this one was cut out and removed as was deep rooted being sent off to the lab.” Check your moles because it’s so crucial.

She continued: “I’ve always been a sun worshiper but these changed in pregnancy. But all removed now maybe have a few more soon results and stitches out in 2 weeks.”

Louise Redknapp puts on eye-catching display in see-through top

On Monday night, Louise Redknapp wore a completely see-through top as she strolled the red carpet at The Music Industry Trust Awards.

Louise Redknapp dared to bare in a sheer top as she was spotted walking the red carpet at a music awards ceremony on Monday night.

The singer, who is 50, rocked a trendy see-through black top with a burgundy-fitted skirt and black pointy heels, and stunned in a black, button-up, tuxedo. She paired her gold hoop earrings with a black YSL clutch bag and a statement necklace.

She was attending the prestigious Mayfair Hotel’s The JW Marriott Grosvenor House Hotel, which is home to the music industry trust awards. Other notable celebrities at the event included “ageless” Emma Bunton, 49, who stunned in a Chanel handbag, a white shirt, and a black and white checked suit.

Making a rare appearance, former This Morning presenter Jenni Falconer, 49, looked incredible in a sequin mini dress. Fresh out of Celebrity Traitors, Good Morning Britain favourite Kate Garraway donned a long brown leather dress for the occasion, which she teamed with a pair of nude heels. While Rita Ora, who was performing at the star-studded event, was a vision in pink in a Barbie Girl-style sequin dress with a matching faux fur jacket.

Before beginning her successful solo career, Louise was a member of the girl band Eternal in the 1990s. Before their 20-year marriage, she and footballer-turned-pundit Jamie Redknapp announced their divorce in 2019. They have two sons, Beau, 16, and Charley, 21, respectively.

Her ex-boyfriend, 52, quickly moved on to Swedish model Frida Andersson, 40, who he wed in 2021. Shortly after they tied the knot in November that year, they gave birth to a son named Raphael. Additionally, Frida and American hedge fund magnate Jonathan Laurie have four children.

Jamie acknowledged that Charley, his eldest son, didn’t initially react well when questioned about how his older children first felt about the new arrival.

Jamie, the son of football legend Harry Redknapp, said on The Romesh Ranganathan Show, “It didn’t go down that well with Charley. If I’m being honest, when I told him that Frida was pregnant when I went to pick him up at school, it went down like a lead balloon.

Because his world had been turned around, you’re married, everything seems simple, but you meet someone else, and you’re married once more, I fully understood it.

Jamie said, “It was a little easier” for him to adjust to the news in the case of Beau. The boys have since accepted being big brothers to Raphael, who turns four next month, after some resistance.

Jamie expressed his appreciation for Charley in a heartfelt Instagram post back in July to celebrate his 21st birthday. The way you interact with Rapha and Beau melts my heart, he wrote.

They’re so fortunate to have you, and you’re such a great role model. I’m hoping you’ll finally start out on top of me at golf now that you’re 21… but I won’t take it lightly! Can’t wait to spend a few days together on the course.

Louise has also moved on and been dating businessman Drew Michael since 2023 in relation to her own romantic life. She hasn’t yet planned to marry again, contrary to Jamie, though.

She recently gushed about their romance, saying, “I was very guarded and scared.” However, I’m really enjoying sharing special moments with someone. He is a wonderful person and person of incredible kindness.

Israel strikes southern Lebanon, killing two and wounding seven

In southern Lebanon, two people were killed and seven others were hurt in Israeli attacks after Israel threatened to raise its assault on alleged Hezbollah targets.

One person and seven were killed and seven injured in an Israeli attack on the town of Doueir in Nabatieh province, according to the Lebanon’s Ministry of Health on Monday.

One person was killed in a subsequent bombing of the border town of Bint Jbeil, Aita al-Shaab.

Three missiles were fired at a car in Doueir, according to the Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA), sparking a fire that spread to nearby cars and a shopping complex.

According to a report from the AFP news agency, emergency crews cleared debris and shattered glass from damaged shops while firefighters worked to put out the flames.

Mohammed Ali Hadid, allegedly a commander in a special unit under the leadership of Hezbollah, was killed by the Israeli army, according to the report.

Another Hezbollah member was killed in Aita al-Shaab, according to the Israeli army, while “trying to gather intelligence on Israeli troops.”

Israel launched its bombardments despite a ceasefire that was agreed in November of that year to put an end to more than a year of international hostilities. However, Israeli officials have made the promise to intensify military operations in recent days.

Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz blasted Lebanon’s president for “dragging his feet” over efforts to control Hezbollah on Sunday and warned that the organization was “playing with fire.”

Hezbollah has been under increasing international pressure to disarm, which has diminished as a result of the conflict’s continued violence. US envoy Tom Barrack claimed that Washington is “encouraging negotiations” and has urged Lebanon to press for direct talks with Israel.

Four people were killed by Israeli bombings in Nabatieh on Saturday, according to the Lebanoni Health Ministry.

Israel “reacted to peace overtures with intensified air raids,” according to President Joseph Aoun.

Niall Horan reveals he didn’t leave hotels at all for ‘five years’ during One Direction

Niall Horan has admitted that he and his bandmates didn’t leave their hotels during their heyday, aside from performing during their heyday.

Niall Horan didn’t leave a hotel once in five years during One Direction. The singer-songwriter has opened up about his time in the world’s biggest boy band and revealed the brutal reality of their time.

The band, consisting of Niall, Louis Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and the late Liam Payne, were catapulted to global fame on The X Factor back in 2010. Despite gaining millions of fans overnight, the lads finished in third place behind runner-up, Rebecca Ferguson and winner, Matt Cardle.

However, despite not winning, they went on to become the most lucrative act to ever leave the stage, selling over 70 million records worldwide before deciding to split up in 2016. Niall, 32, has now revealed what he did while playing the band, revealing that despite occasional disagreements, they remained the band’s closest friends.

The Black and White singer remarked, “We definitely had good business management people and great management.” He continued, reiterating his humble upbringing in Mullingar, Ireland, by saying, “I always thought the Irish thing had a role in how I was raised, and I was never going to get too big for my boots in any way.”

Joking, he said: “I’m sure I did in some shape or form.” Despite being in the biggest band in the world, Horan faced having his private life played out in front of millions, including his dating life and his family business.

This is something he tried to avoid, and instead, managed to maintain a certain amount of privacy. Speaking to Manchester United icons Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes and Paddy McGuinness on The Good, The Bad & The Football podcast, Niall continued: “I tried my best to try and keep things private outside of work because my whole life was very private and there was periods where literally didn’t leave, I’d say for five years, didn’t leave a hotel once.”

Niall claimed that things occasionally got out of hand as he made an effort to cradle his global fame. And he and his bandmates fought over their issues after being kept in hotels and stadiums while on the road.

When questioned about whether any of his bandmates ever “b****ked each other” or “too big,” he responded, “Yes, there was a little bit of it.” We had no maniacs, but we had a strong sense of pity for one another. That is exactly how it is. We felt like we were in our bubble because of the good people who were around us.

We never really understood how big the band was until we left it, despite the fact that we were standing there on stage, staring out, and then we only had a chance to look back in.

Even Niall acknowledges that One Direction’s success was unanticipated, with their first performance being performed on a Saturday night in front of ten million people before playing in stadiums and stadiums. He acknowledges that while some of his life was normal, he struggled with some aspects of his fame despite being in their bubble.

He continued, “We played in Uruguay the night before, we flew in after the gig into Lima, Peru, and we were like “We’ll go there tomorrow.” He faced a harsh reality the day after he woke up and checked if his bandmates still liked to browse the stores.

Niall was instructed to “look outside” by Louis. He revealed that there were 10, 000 people on the street outside the hotel that were being counted. However, when Niall admits to going to a pub in London and sipping a pint of Guinness, he admits that it’s a completely different story whenever he travels to Mullingar.

Niall acknowledges that his time as a solo artist is now more demanding than he did when he was a band. He claimed that he misses the “team environment” of traveling with his bandmates and working in the recording studio. He continued, noting that the audience in an arena is glaring at him and not four other people, “it does feel like]more pressure.”

He claimed to be missing the band camaraderie and was “the craic of it all,” “traveling the world at 18 and 19” Niall admits that he is not jealous when any of his former bandmates’ most recent albums have chart success. He then revealed that he might be jealous if they were creating the same musical style.

Arsenal’s Arteta Says Injured Gyokeres Out Of Slavia Prague Tie

Viktor Gyokeres will miss Tuesday’s Champions League game against Slavia Prague, according to Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta, who is the latest Gunners forward to have been sidelined by injury.

After being substituted with a muscle problem during the Premier League leaders’ 2-0 win over Burnley last weekend, the Sweden striker did not practice on Monday.

At a pre-match press conference, the Gunners manager stated: “I am concerned because he hasn’t had a lot of muscular issues and he had to leave the pitch and he was feeling something.

That’s never a good sign, especially for a player who is extremely explosive, is always a good thing. We are now looking into the injury situation a little more and will let you know as soon as we can.

He’s undoubtedly not available (to play Slavia),” the Spaniard added. He isn’t training right now. In order to fully comprehend the extent of the injury, we need to conduct additional tests and scans in the coming days.

With the departures of Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus, Gabriel Martinelli, Noni Madueke, and Martin Odegaard, there is a long list of absentees from Arsenal’s attacking and creative ranks.

However, with Mikel Merino in contention to start in the Czech capital in place of Gyokeres at Burnley, Arsenal will still be looking for a 10th straight win in all competitions and an eighth consecutive clean sheet against Slavia Prague.

Arsenal, a London club, is seven points clear of reigning champion Liverpool and six points clear of second-placed Manchester City at the top of the Premier League.

Fixer waste

The Gunners have also won all three of their opening Champions League games, including the one that is yet to be declared the champion of Europe.

However, conflict on a number of fronts may still cause issues with fixture congestion, with Arteta urging the Premier League to move Arsenal’s game against Everton so they can’t play two games in three days.

The League Cup quarter-final between Arsenal and Crystal Palace, which was postponed on December 23, according to the English Football League. Due to the scheduled date of December 16th, Palace would now have had to play four games in eight days.

Both major league clubs are scheduled to play two games in three days, with Palace and Arsenal scheduled to start on December 21.

“It’s hoped they will move our Premier League game because it makes no sense to play two days later,” said Arteta.

I’m certain that they will change the Premier League match as soon as we decide the date for the League Cup game.

He continued, “We have seven players out, so I’m not sure what depth we’re talking about right now because we’re missing a lot of front players.”
