As friends of the actress give hints that the surprising couple may have a wedding bell in the near future, Liz Hurley shared more photos of her blossoming romance with country singer Billy Ray Cyrus.

Love is well and truly in the air for Liz Hurley, according to those close to the star. The actress, 59, took to Instagram over Easter to showcase her budding romance with country singer Billy Ray Cyrus, 63.

Now, pals of the Against the Wild actress are saying wedding bells might be heard in the near future. It comes after the surprising match shared yet more images to social media. In the latest Instagram post, the Achy Breaky Heart singer wrapped his arms around his new girlfriend as they posed by a tree for the affectionate shot.

While casually sporting blue jeans and aviator-style sunglasses, she opted for an airy white lace blouse for the occasion. As he wore a purple plaid shirt rolled up to the elbows to display his body art, Billy Ray flashed a grin.

While Billy Ray drove them through the greens, Liz was also seen smiling in a car while she was seated next to a dog. Hedi Klum was one of the many followers who expressed their joy at the photos while Liz captioned the upload, “Tennessee weekend,” with an emoji for a love heart.

According to reports, the pair, who first met while filming Christmas in Paradise in 2022, reconnected last year. Following the breakdown of his third marriage, Liz reportedly turned into a surprising shoulder for him to cry on.

However, pals suggest their pair is going from strength to strength, and Liz could soon be the singer’s fourth wife. Speaking to The Sun, a source said: “Everyone is saying he could be the one, so don’t be surprised if she marries again.”

They continued, “Everyone claims Billy and Liz are worlds apart, but they actually have very similar traits. They share many interests and are in good company.

The pairing comes over a decade after Liz dated late cricket star Shane Warne. The pair were engaged, but split in 2013. And the insider continued to say her latest partner had a similar resemblance. “He really reminds her of Shane Warne,” they said. “They have a very similar energy about them.”

And they claimed that Liz’s newfound relationship with Billy Ray has allowed her to finally leave Shane. She also praised the flirtatious element of the relationship, according to them.

While sharing a number of images to social media, Liz has remained tightlipped over the romance. The country singer meanwhile opened up about their pairing on Apple Music Country’s The Ty Bentli Show last week.

He said to the host, “Wow, can life get any tougher?” Is it even tougher? You can’t get knocked down any flatter than lying on your back when life is kicking you, he said at a certain point. And a friend reached out at this precise moment.

He continued, “So, I text back, I go, “Who is this?” after saying that he didn’t recognize the number. And it’s similar to Elizabeth Hurley. This friend who made me laugh was the one who reached out to me in that second, perhaps the one that I most needed.

We just laughed, he continued, adding, “At a time when I wasn’t really laughing. First, how much we laughed, which was the strangest part. Second, I assumed that although we were very different, we shared far more in common than we were different.

Sophie Kasaei, a star of Geordie Shore, has unveiled her new appearance after removing years of facial filler. She felt like she was starting to resemble “the elephant man.”

Sophie Kasaei has revealed her transformed appearance after finally getting her facial fillers dissolved, admitting she had begun to feel like “the elephant man.” Sharing her journey on Instagram Stories, the Geordie Shore favourite, 35, kicked things off by stepping out of London’s Euston station, saying: “Come with me to get my filler dissolved.”

Sophie explained her long pause by saying, “I’ve had filler inside my face for a long time, but I had an allergic reaction just before Covid, which was a really, really bad one. I thought, “I just can’t do it,” and the PTSD from getting a dissolver has just been chaotic ever since.

She claimed that years of letting the filler build up had finally come to an end. “I’ve let filler build up for years and years so it was time to get it dissolved.”

Sophie traveled to Manchester for the procedure instead of staying local. Because I had just done it, she explained, “I was already in really safe hands with him because he was fully prepared in case there was.”

Sophie asked the doctor for an answer after the consultation, but the doctor replied, “Absolutely not, if you need them dissolved.

Sophie proudly declared, “I did it! ” when she later updated fans with a new clip. I received a third round of dissolver. It has already been stale! I took my antihistamines once more, but my face still looks so much better and less red. My eyes are now wider.

Sophie’s history of cosmetics has previously been open and honest. She stated in an interview with The Sun, “When I was younger, I used to fill my face with sand.” I once received cheek fillers and lip fillers. And as I grew older, everything suddenly disintegrated and was resumed.”

She discussed the extremes she once went to in search of a certain look during an appearance on Celebrity Botched Up Bodies on Channel 5 in 2016. She admitted to having her lips professionally done: “I got it at someone’s house, I was sat on the sofa with no numbing cream or nothing else; she just [shoved it in].” I licked a needle from my lips. It was agony.

When she realized the truth, Sophie described how horrified she was, “I remember leaving that woman’s house thinking my lips looked great and discovering that it wasn’t even filler that I was getting in my lips, it was silicone or saline… Or water basically.

She said, “At the time, I believed I was big and clever and looked amazing, but in reality I just looked like elephant man.”

It comes amid rumours that Sophie is reportedly preparing to leave Geordie Shore ahead of the new series after being unable to agree on the terms of their contract with bosses in a “a blow for the show”.

She made her debut on the MTV show in 2011 and, after some absences from several series over the years, she’s most recently been a cast member again since 2022. It’s now been reported though that she won’t be back for the next series of Geordie Shore – which is said to begin filming next month – “after contract talks broke down”.

She allegedly has been negotiating for a new contract for weeks so that it “reflects” her years of involvement with the show. And despite being claimed that Sophie is about to leave, bosses have made the joke that “there could always be a last-minute bid to keep her” abound.

Sophie has been negotiating with show managers for weeks, according to a source who spoke to the Sun. Sophie continued, saying, “She doesn’t really want to leave, but she feels a lot about the show and has been there for a while, so she wanted her new contract to reflect that.

Sophie is leaving as a result of a misunderstanding, and while there may be a last-minute offer to keep her from MTV, as it stands now, she is stepping away.

Given that Geordie Shore has been a “major part” of her life, she has “many other things going on “at the moment anyway,” according to the source.

The source said that her potential departure from Geordie Shore is “a blow to the show” because some other established cast members have already left. They suggested that whenever a much-loved “star leaves, the show loses a small percentage of the magic that has kept it going since 2011.”

According to a source, the TOWIE star is “prospering desperately” that she will have another child with Charles Drury in response to rumors that Lauren Goodger may have reconciled with him.

According to a source, the TOWIE star is also fervently hoping to have another child with him as the rumors about Lauren Goodger’s reunion with her ex-boyfriend Charles Drury grow.

Larose turns four in July, and their second daughter Lorena passed away tragically shortly after birth in 2022. Lauren and Charles already have a second daughter, Lorena.

Lauren’s relationship with Charles, 38, has arguably been a jaded one despite the agony of losing a child. The latter has previously been accused of assault and controlling behavior toward Lauren.

The former partners have been focusing on co-parenting their daughter for the past few years as Charles later refuted the allegations.

Our source claims that the reality star’s friends are concerned about where things might be because Charles and Lauren have recently spent more time together and have even been reported to have gone on a double date recently.

They ended their relationship without a positive outcome, but Larose will undoubtedly continue to be a part of their lives. According to them, Lauren wants Larose to have a father figure because she knows she needs one.

Lauren believed they could be able to start a family once more when Charles remarried. She would love to have a second child because she loves being a mother so much and idolizes Larose. And because Charles is Larose’s and Lorena’s father, it makes sense for Lauren to have the child she so desperately desires.

However, there are many things going on in their relationship, particularly the terrible tragedy with Lorena, which is just unfathomably terrible. But the people who really care about her, and who don’t just always agree with her, don’t believe he’s the right choice for her, and especially not one she should partner with for another child.

Lauren and Charles first got engaged in 2020, and Larose was born a year later, with Lauren becoming pregnant once more just weeks after giving birth. Unfortunately, Lorena, Lauren and Charles’ second daughter, passed away shortly after giving birth because her neck’s umbilical cord was wrapped around her.

At the time, Lauren announced the news on Instagram with a harrowing post, sharing, “She was the most beautiful healthy baby I’ve ever seen just like her sister… words can’t describe as a mother losing your baby that I carried for all these months perfectly and gave birth to for my angel to be taken from me.

“There was no pregnancy or labour complications and she was fine & healthy but I am not going into detail right now just know that there was nothing wrong with her or myself she was perfect I can’t understand it she is so so beautiful Larose twin so similar.. I am broken. I am back home from hospital Me & Charlie spent as much time with our baby girl Lorena and I haven’t said my goodbye yet…”

Charles was accused of assaulting Lauren on the day of their baby’s funeral just weeks after Lorena’s tragic death. Before the case was dropped in February 2024, Lauren withdrawn her complaints after Charles entered a not-guilty plea.

Despite their ostensibly bitter split, Lauren hasn’t stopped talking about getting back together with her ex, and there have been numerous rumors of reconciliation in recent months. Lauren stated that she would “never say never” to reuniting in 2023.

“I have no idea what the future holds.” He will always be my love. You have to comprehend what I’ve been through because of the trauma, so it’s difficult to let go of someone. Because it is so tightly woven into the events that occurred, it is very difficult. She said, “I want to get over it and heal, and I see him as a healer.”

Lauren claimed last year that she and Charles were dedicated to raising Larose together. However, she later acknowledged that the ride hasn’t been smooth, saying that while it hasn’t been easy, things are still going smoothly. Charles frequently spots Larose.

Charles, who is currently living in Essex with her daughter and her TOWIE co-stars Junaid Ahmed and Joe Blackman, seems to have been spending more time with Lauren. Later, the former couple took part in a TikTok live stream, which added fuel to the speculation that they might be reconsidering.

Our source claims that Lauren’s closest and dearest worry that Charles might not be the right man for her as they get closer. They worry that because of everything that has happened, it becomes too complicated, and they are worried that he will not be good for her. They prefer that she move on and find someone who will make her happy and treat her the way she wants to be.

The latest celebrities to capitalize on the growing appetite for protein-rich foods, which is being fuelled by Instagram and TikTok creators, are A-lister Khloe Kardashian and her mother Kris Jenner.

You may have noticed that protein has taken over grocery stores in recent years. Walk down any Tesco aisle and you will see labels claiming “high in protein” or containing a certain amount of grams protein on everything from yoghurt to milkshakes to ready-made sandwiches and pasta. Even Khloe Kardashian is looking to get into the Big Protein market.

Never ones to miss out on a money-making trend – especially one tied to health and fitness – the Kardashians are the latest celebrities to make protein their business. On April 22, the reality star and business owner Khloe Kardashian alongside her mom and manager Kris Jenner officially launched their new food company, Khloud.

TechCrunch reported that the duo were looking to raise at least USD$10million (which is £7.5million) for their new business venture back in December 2024. Since then, they have secured an oversubscribed investment of USD$12million (£9million). The Serena Williams-backed venture capitalist fund, Serena Ventures, is listed as one among multiple investors in Khloud.

The company’s launch brought its first product to market, protein-packed popcorn. The popcorn is allegedly made from whole-grain corn and coated in “Khloud Dust,” a milk protein and seasoning blend meant to contain seven grams of protein per serving.

White Cheddar, Olive Oil and Sea Salt, and Sweet and Salty Kettle Corn will be the three flavors of Khloud popcorn. Additionally, the company claims that the popcorn line is kosher, gluten-free, and free of seed oils.

Kardashian told TechCrunch, popcorn is just the first of many other products to come from the food company. “We plan to expand into other snacking categories across the store, there’s so much room to reimagine everyday snacks.”

The entire food line will focus on health-conscious snack choices. Khloud popcorn is set to launch on April 29, 2025 and will be available for purchase at Target at online via the official website. As reported by Global Brands, sources close to Khloud reveal that a UK debut is planned for 2026, subject to distribution partnerships.

This new venture from the Kardashians is their first foray into the snacking industry, though they have been promoting protein powders on their social media for years. But they are also not the first celebrities to get into the protein business. In 2020, Venus Williams launched her Happy Viking protein powder after proclaiming that plant-based superfoods transformed her health, while actress Kate Hudson has added a line of plant-based protein powders to her health food company InBloom.

Protein has long been a dietary must-have among muscle-builders and gym enthusiasts, with protein powder now a cliché cabinet staple. But when the pandemic sparked a greater focus on personal health and wellness, protein went mainstream. A national survey by Savanta for Ocado Retail found that of the 2,200 people surveyed nearly half of UK adults increased their protein intake in the past year, but that rose to two-thirds of all people aged 16 to 34.

According to Tesco, the shopping habits of the “Tiktok generation” have shifted to indicate an appetite for protein. In a September 2024 press release, the supermarket chain wrote: “Gen Z and its associated TikTok and Instagram social media influencers are creating a major craze for dairy products with extra protein added to them.”

Beyond classic low-carb, protein-rich staples like cottage cheese, Tesco says Gen Z wanted protein in every dairy product they consumed in 2024. “Demand for yoghurts and other dairy food with added protein, such as puddings and drinks, has soared by a third (34%) at Tesco in a UK market now worth £204m annually,” Tesco shared.

In response, Tesco developed a unique “High in Protein” fixture in its dairy section designed for yoghurt-related goods. Additionally, the chain’s high protein line includes granola, pancakes, and pasta shells.

JoJo Siwa, one of Chris Hughes’s close friends, and she met him at a pub reunion just days after “dumping” her partner.

Chris Hughes has introduced Celebrity Big Brother star JoJo Siwa to his nearest and dearest as they take the next step in their friendship. The former Love Island star, 32, enjoyed some quality catch up time with his group of friends on Sunday – and JoJo, 21 – was also there for the special reunion.

After forming an unbreakable bond in the iconic Celebrity Big Brother house, Chris and JoJo are now spending some time together before the Dance Moms star jets back to the US.

The pair were tagged in a photo on Instagram by one of Chris’ close friends as they were seen sitting side by side in a pub surrounded by all of Chris’ good friends. “Band back together,” he wrote alongside the snap.

JoJo beamed in the photo alongside Chris as she enjoyed some quality time with his loved ones. It comes after the unlikely pair enjoyed a tennis date on Sunday.

A fan snapped a photo of JoJo and Chris at a tennis club together after JoJo told Celebrity Big Brother hots AJ Odudu and Will Best that they had planned the cute day out while still in the house.

JoJo had her hair braided and wore a casual tee, while Chris had a tennis bag slung over his shoulder and showed off his biceps in a black vest. The pair made their way through the fancy club’s restaurant area while enjoying the sunny day out.

The person behind the camera wrote, “JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes were at my club earlier, lol,” and one follower responded, “Girl were you making out or anything else you gotta tell us.”

Elsewhere, one commenter slammed: “How can she smile? She really does not care about the fact someone flew across the world to support her does she?” Another person reasoned: “She looks really happy, if they are together and happy then I’m happy for them.”

The pair’s fun weekend comes after JoJo’s split with ex-partner Kath Ebbs, after JoJo dumped them at the Celebrity Big Brother after party just hours after the show came to an end. Do you think JoJo and Chris would make a good couple? Vote in our poll HERE to have your say.

Kath, 27, flew over to London to join JoJo after she won third place on the ITV show, and opted to see her later in the day rather than being there to meet her as soon as she left the house. Things didn’t go to plan – while Kath wanted to talk through what she saw on screen, the Aussie podcaster said that JoJo ended things.

After the event, the TV presenter posted a lengthy video to Instagram explaining in part that the story “went right through” and that he had to travel to the live show to support my partner during their time there, as all relationships do.

“But before I could get back to the hotel, it is actually crazy, I went to the after party with my now ex – crazy thing to say – and I was dumped in the after party.”
