Fearne Cotton’s ex-husband, Jesse Wood, has made his first public appearance with his new girlfriend, Gemma Gregory. The son of Rolling Stones rocker, Ronnie Wood, split with Fearne in December after a decade of marriage, with the mum-of-two, 43, announcing the sad news on Instagram with a “heavy heart”.
Three months ago, Made In Chelsea star, Gemma, 39, posted snaps of her and Jesse snuggling up in the sunshine as the musician moved, 48, on with his life. And now they’ve rocked up together for a VIP screening of 60’s icon Twiggy’s new self-titled movie at the Selfridge’s cinema in London, looking every inch a couple.

Jesse grins in a snap of the pair, who pose alongside Twiggy, cutting a casual figure in a t. shirt and jeans. Gemma, meanwhile, sports a racy cutaway black dress with a jacket around her waist as she cuddles up to her man at the star-studded bash.
It comes after kids TV star, Fearne, spoke about her life without Jesse on BBC Breakfast this week. Admitting things hadn’t been easy, she discussed the challenges she’s faced over the past year, including health issues.
Speaking candidly to hosts Jon Kay and Sally Nugent about an operation she had in December last year to remove two benign jaw tumours, she also discussed her recovery process, returning to work, and receiving support from fellow celebrity Davina McCall.

“It was the end of last year, it ended up being one benign tumour and a couple of lymph nodes that had to come out with it,” Fearne began. “But I’ve recovered well and I’m feeling good, and very grateful I think as well. “
Reflecting on her recent time away from the spotlight, Fearne said: “I think it was like a little pressing pause moment, which was no bad thing. It’s so rare that I take off any time and I had to properly rest and recover; it went quite quickly.
“I’m definitely back in the swing of things now. “

The timing of Fearne’s operation coincided with the news of her separation from Jesse, son of Rolling Stones icon, Ronnie.
The couple, who had been together for a decade, tied the knot in 2014.

In a heartfelt statement issued in December through X, Fearne announced: “It is with a heavy heart that I let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage.
“Our priority has been, and will always be, our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time. “

India 363-9 (50 overs): Suryavanshi 143 (78), Malhotra 129 (121)
England: Yet to bat
Fourteen-year-old Vaibhav Suryavanshi hit the fastest century on record in youth one-day internationals in a remarkable 143 for India against England at Worcester.
Suryavanshi, who shot to fame by becoming the youngest player and century-maker at the Indian Premier League earlier this year, reached three figures in just 52 deliveries in a stunning display of boundary hitting.
The opener crashed 13 fours and 10 sixes in his 78 deliveries to power his side to 363-9.
His straight-hitting off pace and spin was particularly devastating but he also slashed cuts and heaved away sweeps.
The previous fastest century in youth ODIs was a 53-ball effort by Pakistan’s Kamran Ghulam against England in 2013.
Suryavanshi, who scored 86 in the third ODI earlier this week and 45 and 48 in the first two matches of the series, shared a partnership of 219 with number three Vihaan Malhotra for the second wicket.
Malhotra made a comparatively sedate 129 from 121 balls.
‘India keen to shield teenager’ – analysis
by BBC Sport journalist Matthew Henry
This is the latest eye-catching moment for a player who shot to superstardom earlier this year.
Yes, it is only a youth international but Suryavanshi is the youngest player in either squad by two-and-a-half years. He has looked at least a level or two above the rest.
Amid all of the glitz and glamour, Suryavanshi became the youngest player to score a century in any top-level men’s T20 at the IPL in April.
As a result, when he travelled to the UK for this tour, he was stopped for selfies in the airport and on the plane from India.
He appears destined to go onto big things but India are understandably cautious and want to manage the attention he receives.
The teenager has been shielded from media opportunities while it is understood there have been countless offers for big-money sponsorship deals.
There are areas to improve. His fielding has looked weak on this tour, which is to be expected given his age.
Police have arrested protesters in London for supporting activist group Palestine Action, which was banned at midnight in the United Kingdom.
“Officers have arrested more than 20 people on suspicion of offences under the Terrorism Act 2000. They have been taken into custody. Palestine Action is a proscribed group and officers will act where criminal offences are committed,” the Metropolitan Police wrote on X on Saturday.
Campaign group Defend Our Juries said in a press release that 27 people, including a priest and a number of health professionals, had been arrested for offences under the Terrorism Act.
They were holding cardboard signs, saying: “I oppose genocide. I support Palestine Action. ”
Passersby reacted to the arrests as the police intervened in the demonstration at noon.
“Met Police, you are puppets of the Zionist state” and “leave them alone”, they were quoted as shouting by the Press Association, the British news agency.
Other supporters, not directly involved in the Palestine Action protest, shouted: “Who do you protect? Who do you serve? ” and “British police off our streets. ”
There were further chants of “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” during the incident.
The ban
Police warned on Friday that expressing support for Palestine Action would be a criminal offence after the ban kicked in at midnight.
“This includes chanting, wearing clothing or displaying articles such as flags, signs or logos,” said the force.
A spokesperson for Defend Our Juries said: “We commend the Counter Terrorism police for their decisive action in protecting the people of London from some cardboard signs opposing the genocide in Gaza and expressing support for those taking action to prevent it. ”
The proscription cleared parliament on Thursday, with a court challenge to try to stop it becoming law failing on Friday.
The government announced last week it would ban Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000, days after activists from the group broke into an air force base in southern England.
Two aircraft at the base were sprayed with red paint, causing an estimated 7 million pounds ($9. 55m) in damage.
Four Palestine Action activists were remanded in custody on Thursday after appearing in court over the incident.
Palestine Action has condemned the proscription as an attack on free speech.
The ban will make it a criminal offence to belong to or support the group, punishable by up to 14 years in prison.

Ozzy Osbourne is preparing to head on stage as the Prince of Darkness for one final time this evening. The rock icon will be joining his fellow Black Sabbath bandmates at Villa Park in one of the most epic farewell shows in music history.
He will grace the stage alongside Bill Ward, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler as well as the world’s best heavy metal bands for the mega show. It marks a very rare appearance for Ozzy, who first retired from live singing in 2023 because of his numerous surgeries and his Parkinson’s Disease.
However, it didn’t put off his desire to get back on stage for his thousands of fans. “As you may all know, four years ago, this month, I had a major accident, where I damaged my spine,” he said on social media.
“My one and only purpose during this time has been to get back on stage. My singing voice is fine. However, after three operations, stem cell treatments, endless physical therapy sessions, and most recently, groundbreaking Cybernics (HAL) Treatment, my body is still physically weak. ”
The Back To The Beginning supershow will include sets from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Tool, Gojira, Anthrax, Lamb Of God, Halestorm, Mastodon and Rival Sons.
An all-star super-group will be playing, with The Smashing Pumpkins’ Billy Corgan, Rage Against The Machine’s Tom Morello, Megadeth’s David Ellefson, and Limp Bizkit’s Fred Durst taking to the stage.

Ozzy’s health struggles
Ozzy has been through it in the past few decades and after fully embracing the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle in his earlier years, his health has taken a hit.
It began more than 20 years ago, when in 2003, he broke his neck after falling off a quad bike leading to some extensive back surgery and metal rods being put down his spine. In 2020, the singer also announced that he had been diagnosed with Parkinson’s around a year before.
But despite his setbacks, and his worsening condition, wife Sharon claims his voice is as good as ever. Read more here.

‘A way to say thank you’
Ozzy revealed the reasons behind doing today’s show stemmed from him wanting to give back to his fans. In an interview with Premier Comms before the show, the rocker said he viewed the set as a chance to “say thank you to my fans for always supporting me and being there for me”.

Diogo Jota tribute
Yungblud’s guitarist has paid tribute to footballer Diogo Jota by wearing a number 20 Liverpool shirt on stage. In a touching moment, the guitarist showed the number 20 shirt, which Jota wore.
The Premier League footballer and his younger brother Andre Silva both died in a devastating car crash near Zamora close to Spain’s north-west border with Portugal. The tragic incident occurred just days after Jota’s marriage to his childhood sweetheart, Rute Cardoso – who had to identify her husband and his brother after the crash.

Fans flock from around the world for final show
Black Sabbath fans from around the world managed to secure tickets for the sell-out show in Birmingham to bid farewell to Ozzy.
A Brazilian fan travelled in from Stockholm to be part of the historic gig and told the Mirror: “We flew here to see Black Sabbath. Sabbath and Ozzy is my favourite. It was my first concert in my life so have the nostalgia feeling. “
Another woman, who is from Estonia and now living in Chesterfield, added: “I saw Ozzy 10 years ago for the first time at Hellfest in France. It’s the first time for my mum. Can’t wait to have a blast. “

Germany captain Giulia Gwinn has been ruled out of Euro 2025 after a scan revealed she suffered a serious knee injury in her side’s 2-0 win over Poland.
The 26-year-old was visibly upset as she was helped off the field during the Group C win in St Gallen on Friday.
Gwinn had a scan on Saturday which revealed a medial ligament injury in her left knee.
A Germany team statement said the Bayern Munich player was expected to be out for “several weeks”.
“Giuli is out! The next steps will be discussed with everyone involved. We’re with you, Giuli! ,” the statement added.
Gwinn helped her country reach the Euro 2022 final and was part of the team that won Olympic bronze at Paris 2024.
It is another personal blow for the two-time German national team player of the year, who suffered her latest injury making a challenge to deny Poland captain Ewa Pajor.
Gwinn, who has 14 goals in 64 international appearances, also missed the 2023 World Cup due to an ACL injury.

Gwinn initially tried to continue after suffering the injury, but was eventually helped off by medics and replaced in the 40th minute.
After the game, team-mate Selina Cerci wore a Germany shirt with Gwinn’s name on it as the team celebrated in front of their fans.
Head coach Christian Wuck refused to speculate on the extent of the injury until after Saturday’s scan.
“I didn’t see the foul, I just know she prevented an almost-sure goal and that would be really bad for us if it is something serious, but I will not speculate,” he said on Friday.
EXCLUSIVE: Spice Girls star Melanie Brown has married her long-term fiancé, Rory McPhee, at St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Mirror can reveal intimate details

Spice Girls star Melanie Brown MBE looked incredible as she married her partner, Rory McPhee
Melanie Brown has finally tied the knot with Rory McPhee in a stunning ceremony. The Spice Girls megastar walked down the aisle at the iconic St Paul’s Cathedral in London and looked every inch the stunning bride. Rory, a hair stylist, got down on one knee and proposed to the Leeds-born icon in October 2022, four years after the pair started dating one another.
The 50-year-old, known for her love of leopard print and bold personality, looked sensational as she wore a figure-hugging classic white gown after arriving in a white Rolls Royce car. Her dress embodied everything Melanie stands for: strength, sensuality and timeless glamour.
The Leeds native worked very closely with London-based Evelie Bridal and Josephine Scott to design the georgette crepe gown, which showcased her gym-honed physique in a corset bodice. Her beautiful gown featured draping, which hugged her silhouette and flowed freely into a dramatic train.

Meanwhile, a detachable jacket was decorated with hand-embellished pearl constellations across the high neckline, with the long-sleeved jacket framing her shoulders and adding a regal touch to her gown, in true St Paul’s etiquette.
Mum-of-three Melanie, opted for a white with a cathedral-length veil which trailed down the 158-meter-long aisle, scattered with pearls and, in true Mel B style, a touch of drama. Speaking to the Mirror, owner of Evelie Bridal, Caroline Black, who styled Melanie said: “From the moment Mel walked through the doors at Evelie, this journey has been nothing short of extraordinary.

“Helping a real Spice Girl choose her wedding dress—what could possibly top that? But what’s truly made this experience so meaningful is getting to know Mel as just Mel — not the icon, but the woman. It’s been such an honour. “
Meanwhile, the designer, Josephine Scott said: “Designing this gown for Mel was about capturing her fearless spirit and softness all in one look. She’s iconic, powerful, and radiant — and this dress had to be worthy of that.
“Every detail was chosen to honour her strength and sensuality while celebrating the woman and the love story beneath the girl power. ” Her daughter Phoenix, who arrived with her partner, AJ Anderson, dazzled onlookers in a striking blue gown and white fascinator.

Angel, whom Melanie shares with Eddie Murphy, rocked a suave black suit as the pair were accompanied by another guest. Her youngest, Madison, chose a bright pink dress which was decorated by eye-catching red flowers.
Melanie was walked down the aisle by James Steen, the husband of Louise Grannon, Melanie’s biographer. While her now husband, Rory, was supported at the alter by his best man, brother, Jordan McPhee.

Melanie was supported by her bandmate, Emma Bunton, just days after the Mirror revealed why she was the only Spice Girl attending the ceremony. There had been reports that both Geri Horner and Victoria Beckham had been snubbed but a source close to the band revealed to me that this wasn’t the case.
“There’s no snub; the girls are all on friendly terms with one another, but it’s no secret that Geri is busy with Christian at Formula One, and Victoria is extremely busy with her fashion brand,” my mole said. Geri is at the British Grand Prix with her husband, while Melanie C, known as Sporty Spice, is performing in Rødovre, eastern Denmark, and Victoria has commitments with her fashion business.

Emma, known as Baby Spice, delighted those in attendance by singing at the ceremony. She told the Mirror: “I am so excited to be here, I can’t wait for the wedding. ” In true Baby form, the blonde legend rocked a chic pink dress as she was accompanied by her husband, Jade Jones, and their son Beau.
Melanie’s sister, actress Danielle, looked sensational as she arrived at the cathedral with her three children, wearing a stunning knee-length baby blue dress. “I am so nervous. It’s exciting, though, and I am doing the first reading,” she said. Other famous faces in attendance included comic Alan Carr, Daisy Lowe, Cara Delevingne, Leigh Francis, Katherine Ryan, Angellica Bell and BBC legend Gaby Roslin.

For Once In My Life singer Melanie had made it no secret she was excited to say “I do” at the same venue where the late Diana, Princess of Wales, and now King Charles exchanged their vows in 1981. Each year, only a select number of people are allowed to marry at the venue, and thanks to Melanie being awarded an MBE for her services to charity work supporting Women’s Aid, she was one of them.

Although Melanie and Rory will be celebrating their nuptials at The Shard, they have more extravagant plans for their wedding. The couple will be jetting out to Morocco later this month, with American designer Justin Alexander being commissioned for that dress.
“I’m having a second ceremony abroad, which will be more informal, sexy and beautiful,” the singer said.
