Prince Harry and Meghan Markle joined an array of big name stars as they stepped out to Kris Jenners lavish 70th birthday party. The pair were seen looking swanky heading into the glamorous bash which had a James Bond theme.
The party – thrown at billionaire Jeff Bezos‘ £125million mansion in Beverly Hills – saw guests including Bill Gates, Adele and Justin Bieber join Kris and her famous children to celebrate her entering her seventh decade of life. Harry, 41, wore a classic black tuxedo with a crisp white shirt, while Meghan, 44, opted for a long-sleeved black turtleneck top, teamed with a black maxi skirt with a thigh high slit.
The Duchess of Sussex kept it simple with her hair slicked back and long sparkling earrings, accessorising with a black clutch bag and wearing strappy heels. Harry meanwhile had a red poppy pinned to his lapel, in a nod of respect for Remembrance Sunday.
The outing came as Kate Middleton, 43, was joined by her son Prince George, 12, as she attended the Festival of Remembrance event in London on Saturday. The Princess of Wales joined King Charles, 76, and Queen Camilla, 78, at the event as they honoured military service men and women.
Just prior to attending Kris’ party Harry had encouraged others to check in those carrying the “weight of war.” He shared an essay where he praised the “things that make us British”, including banter and the pub.
He then urged others to not only remember those who have lost their lives, but to check in on soldiers still with us and carrying the “weight of war,” suggesting Brits should “join them for a cuppa…or a pint” to hear their stories and “remind them their service still matters.”
In the essay, which also reflects on his trip to war-torn Ukraine, he warns how easy it is for veterans to be forgotten “once the uniform comes off.”
He wrote: “Every November the world, for a moment, grows quieter. We pause, together, to remember. Remembrance has never been about glorifying war. It’s about recognising its cost… the lives changed forever and the lessons paid for, through unimaginable sacrifice.
“It’s also about honouring those who, knowing that cost, still choose to serve. There is a similar stoic spirit of self-deprecation and humour in Ukrainians, that I recognise more than any other, in us Brits.
“Though currently, I may live in the United States, Britain is, and always will be, the country I proudly served and fought for. The banter of the mess, the clubhouse, the pub, the stands – ridiculous as it sounds, these are the things that make us British.
“I make no apology for it. I love it. I’ve had the privilege of serving alongside men and women from all four corners of the UK… from Antrim to Anglesey, Lancashire to London, Wrexham to the East Riding, Belfast to Bedfordshire and beyond.
“I saw courage and compassion in the harshest conditions imaginable. But I also saw how easy it can be, once the uniform comes off, for those who gave everything, to feel forgotten.They safeguarded our freedom. We must safeguard their future. That way we all benefit.”
Three years after Tom Parker’s death, his former The Wanted bandmate opened up about a heartbreaking apology he received from the singer before his death

It’s hard to think of many things more important to a musician than prepping for a North American tour. There’s so much to do – you’ve got to rehearse to make sure you sound at the top of your game and you’ve got to catch a flight to your first tour stop. You’ve even got to make sure your suitcase has enough socks to last you for the months you’re there.
But in and amongst doing all that, The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaran made time to front GenesisCare UK’s Memory Bank – an art installation in Oxford that explores and celebrates the first-hand experiences of brain cancer patients, their friends and family.
Sitting down with us just days before he would perform to a crowd in Las Vegas, Siva explained why he wanted to be part of GenesisCare’s installation. “The number one fear of people with brain tumours is losing their memory,” he starts.
“This exhibition helps create a positive mindset for people with brain cancer. They can go to the exhibition and hear their memories.” Focusing on people with glioblastoma, a highly aggressive and malignant brain tumour, the Memory Bank showcases how human connections help them and their loved ones navigate such a challenging new chapter in their lives. It creates hope and positivity, which can increase the life expectancy of a glioblastoma patient and enhance their quality of life.
“It’s so important to harness the power of hope and a positive mindset after diagnosis,” said Siva. “And I want to raise awareness and money for new treatments.”
The singer explained that because “cancer is such a taboo topic”, particularly brain cancer, it isn’t spoken about nearly as much as it should be, especially since it is one of the top killers of people under 40. When it’s not spoken about, nothing changes. But when it is, the types of research and treatments that can arise, such as a special dye that a patient can drink to make a tumour glow orange during surgery.
Talking about cancer can save lives. Siva adds: “I know from personal experience how important that is.”Three years ago, Siva’s bandmate Tom Parker died after being diagnosed with a brain tumour. Following his diagnosis, he was given six to twelve months to live. “Tom lived to 18. He helped thousands of people.
“Cancer is so taboo. But Tom was a very avid campaigner. He was so adamant and went into parliament to talk about treatments. Access to early treatment is so crucial. Tom’s legacy is this. My legacy is this. His legacy and my legacy are shared. If I can help one person gain access to treatment, that’s a job well done.”
Tom was diagnosed with a grade IV glioblastoma in October 2020, after suffering from a seizure in July. After months of treatment, Tom revealed his tumour had “significantly reduced”. By September 2021, he was well enough to reunite with his Wanted bandmates, including Siva, for a charity concert in aid of Stand Up to Cancer. Two months later, Tom announced on X that he’d had the results from the latest scan of his tumour – “and I’m delighted to say it is stable”.
Yet, despite his improvement, by March 2022, Tom had suffered a sudden deterioration of his condition and died at the age of 33. To Siva, Tom wasn’t just his friend who had brain cancer and died. He was a family man, whose most important relationships were with his wife, Kelsey and their two children. “I used to call them the Positive Parkers,” Siva said, crediting their positivity with why Tom lived so long after his diagnosis.
“Tom was the first of us to get married, the first to have children. He spent every second with them and loved his family so much. That family was so protected and cherished.”
How much Tom loved his family was one of the core things Siva remembered about Tom. But his favourite memory was a moment from when they were still touring as part of The Wanted. He and Tom were in the back of their tour van, driving home from Leeds and talking about time and relativity.
“He was showing me videos about it on his phone. We were talking about all these deep things whilst he was covered in Monster Munch dust,” Siva laughs. More seriously, he adds: “We used to butt heads a lot in the past.
“Tom was from Bolton and I’m from Dublin. He was quite extroverted and I was more introverted and passive. We were like bickering brothers. But in that van, he apologised for anything offensive he might have said. And he told me he loved me deeply.”
Siva told Tom that none of that needed to be said, it was all already known. “It was such a lovely moment,” Siva says. And it’s stuck with him years since.
While GenesisCare is trying to help people with glioblastoma, their Memory bank art installation is a valuable exhibition for the family and friends of brain tumour patients, like Siva. He explains how important memories are when you’re grieving.
“You lose people twice. First when they die and then when people forget them. I cope by talking about Tom and helping other people talk about him. I cope by singing his songs.”
Siva now lives in Los Angeles and flew back to the UK for the Memory Bank installation, which officially launched on 23 October. He had to quickly jet back to America again, as he and Wanted bandmate Max George have formed The Wanted 2.0 and are embarking on a tour of the US.
On their tour, they are likely to be singing songs like Glad You Came and Chasing The Sun, both of which were iconic sounds of the 2010s. The tour almost didn’t happen, as one half of the double act, Max, was in hospital just days before he was supposed to fly out to the States.
Having undergone heart surgery twice – both in late 2024 and early 2025 – Max found himself in hospital again in late September. Thankfully, though, he was able to join Siva in Las Vegas for their first US show.
Through their tour and The Wanted’s music, Tom lives on. He lives on in Kelsey and their children as the family tries to continue with their lives. He lives on in the work of GenesisCare UK, all the research that goes into brain cancer and every conversation someone has about it.
“Things can feel hopeless but we’ve done so much for other types of cancer,” Siva says. By talking about the work Tom did to raise awareness about brain cancer can be turned into tangible treatments that might one day mean glioblastoma is no longer one of the most challenging cancers to treat and incurable.
And by celebrating the memories of everyone currently dealing with it, whether that’s patients or their loved ones, Tom’s message lives on. “Tom’s message was hope. And hope helps so much. Hope can change everything.”

We do love a real-life soap couple! However, some are better-known than others – and Coronation Street fans have been shocked to learn that Izzy Armstrong actress Cherylee Houston is married to a familiar face from TV.
Since arriving on the cobbles in 2010 as Andy Whyment’s character Kirk Sunderland’s love interest, 51-year-old Cherylee has established herself as a beloved character amongst the show’s cast. The Underworld machinist has featured in several big storylines, including a romance with Mikey North’s Gary and a dramatic two-month prison sentence.
However, fans have recently been shocked to learn that Cherylee is married to Toby Hadoke, also 51, who has appeared in programmes including Emmerdale, Shameless, Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights – and, you guessed it, Coronation Street.
Additionally, he runs the Manchester comedy venue XS Malarkey, the nine-time winner of Chortle’s Best Comedy Club award for the north of England. The not-for-profit venue has given breaks to stars including Jason Manford and Celebrity Traitors star Alan Carr, to name just two.
Couple Cherylee and Toby’s professional worlds collided in 2021 when he appeared in Coronation Street as Fergus, a thoughtful neighbour checking on Izzy throughout the pandemic. His character drew attention to the difficulties experienced by the disabled during the national health emergency.
Toby has spoken enthusiastically about working alongside Cherylee, declaring: “She’s great as well. She’s such a good actor. I think it’s forgotten because she’s so brilliant at bringing attention to the importance of disability representation, she’s really good.”
Toby previously revealed his Corrie connection, saying: “If you delve into the archives you know, I once married Curly Watts. I was a vicar,” before adding: “They wanted a young vicar at Curly Watts’ wedding. If you go back it was about 747 years ago. That was just a one-off.”
Followers of a Corrie Facebook group were left surprised to discover the romantic connection between Cherylee and Toby. A photograph of the pair prompted numerous comments.
One follower asked: “How come I recognise him?” Another replied: “Toby Hadoke! He’s an actor/writer/standup comedian.”
The news shocked others: “I remember him from Corrie I think, didn’t know at the time they were together.” Another commented: “Same! Think he was in Hollyoaks as well.”

Holly has also been sharing photos from the fun weekend as they celebrated at the celebrity hotspot. The bride-to-be arrived to her hen do hand in hand with her mum Tana.
Alongside her post, she wrote: “Bachelorette weekend starts now.. I love my sisters and mama so much.” Earlier in the week, Holly said how excited she is to be marrying Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty.
The pair are set to have a festive celebration as they tie the knot in just a few weeks. Revealing that their wedding day isn’t far away at all, Holly captioned a photograph of them both: “We can finally say the next wedding we go to will be ours.. I can’t wait to be your wife.”
Holly spoke about her upcoming nuptials to the Daily Mail at the Sport Industry Awards in the summer, saying: “Everyone has wedding fever! We’re all very excited, and the countdown is on.
“There’s just something so English about getting married in the winter. I love summer, but winter is my favourite time of the year. I want the Christmas magic feeling of everyone coming together, to celebrate and have a great time.”
Holly went on to tease what her dress might look like. She said she didn’t want to say “whether it’s traditional or not” because she didn’t want to give too much away.
However, she did reveal that she has “I’ve always been a huge fan of Kate Middleton’s wedding dress” so she took a lot of inspiration from her which may give some hints.
Just last month Adam gave some details about the big day away. He said that the main ceremony would be taking place in Bath and that it would be “quite a big wedding”.

Holly’s dad Chef Gordon Ramsay will also be putting his skills to the test as he will be in charge of the food. Adam also said that there will be a no phone policy at the wedding in order for all of their guests to be “in the moment” and “just take time with each other”.
Adam met his future wife Holly in 2021 when he appeared on Strictly Come Dancing alongside Holly’s younger sister, Tilly. Despite meeting that year, they did not make their relationship official until June 2023.
Strictly pair Vicky Pattison and Kai Widdrington get on like a house on fire – but there’s also a pretty special bond forming between the pro dancer and Vicky’s husband, Ercan Ramadan
Strictly’s Vicky Pattison has revealed that her delight that pro dancer, Southampton-born Kai Widdington, is getting on like a house on fire with her husband of just over a year, businessman Ercan Ramadan.
Explaining during an exclusive shoot with OK!, Vicky reveals that her other half often pops into the dance studio to see them both during training, alongside his lookalike brother (“it’s those Turkish-Cypriot genes, those brothers all look alike!”), the Geordie TV star says he and Kai – who went public with his romance with relationship with City worker Chloe Wells in April – are developing a lovely friendship.

“Kai and Ercan have quite the little bromance going,” Vicky tells us, with a smile. “He’s gone down a total storm with my family and friends and I love his gorgeous girlfriend Chloe.”
Vicky and Kai have even talked about the two couples going on a double date – before realising it would be pretty much impossible, with their current schedules on Strictly. “We were so full of it at the start of this process,” Vicky admits. “A double date, what?! Nobody’s got time for that!”
Kai, who started dancing at the age of nine, the same year Strictly first aired on telly, also admits he had zero preconceptions about Heart Radio presenter Vicky before they met, other than knowing she was a total beginner when it came to dancing. But as he reveals, he is delighted by how much she has progressed since her first dance.
“If I’d shown her what she’s achieved in our most recent dances, she wouldn’t have believed it. But why stop now? We might as well go the whole way,” he says confidently. Vicky is in agreement and confesses it’s “mindblowing” – remembering with a laugh how she struggled to even clap on time to the music during the first group dance.
Since then, she’s performed a gorgeous American Smooth, the Couple’s Choice dance to Cheryl Cole’s Fight For This Love – receiving a personal message of support from the singer herself – and even the notoriously tricky samba. “Oh man, the samba. If you’d told me seven weeks ago I’d love that dance, I’d have called you a liar. Yet here I am. A big, samba-loving Geordie,” she laughs.

Kai is as loved up with girlfriend Chloe as Vicky – who says she ‘hit the jackpot’ when she met Ercan. Kai first met Chloe, who is originally from Leigh-on-Sea in Essex, at a pub in West London and according to a friend “hit it off immediately”.
Back in May, the professional dancer appeared on Lorraine to talk about his upcoming tour and admitted he was the “happiest I have ever been”. He said: “I feel very very happy and it’s largely down to my other half as well.” A month later, the loved-up pair made their first public appearance as she joined him to celebrate the first night of his Evolution tour.
