Veteran actress Celia Imrie told Jonathan Ross she has “a bit of a crush” on him during last night’s Celebrity Traitors.

The performer, who participated in Thursday Murder Club this year, admitted that Ross, 64, might be a traitor. Following the roundtable discussion on Wednesday’s drama-packed episode, Imrie, 73, voted to fire him.

Imrie, who has worked in numerous well-known dramas and films for the past five decades, said, “This is a little tricky because I have a bit of a crush on you right now, but I put you Jonathan because I believe you have the chutzpah and brilliance to be a traitor.”

Presenter Claudia Winkleman declared the banishment would be left to chance after two rounds of voting ended with Scottish actor Mark Bonnar and historian David Olusoga receiving equal numbers of votes.

Following a roundtable discussion where contestants debate the identities of the secret traitors who meet at night to plot their next “murder,” the episode ended before the banishment’s conclusion, in an effort to extort the charity prize pot from the faithfuls.

In a number of scenes with Imrie, including one where she audibly passed wind while on a stressful job in a cabin, which caused the audience’s fellow cast members to chuckle all over the place.

Another Imrie clip, which featured her improvising to the sound of a banshee for a challenge, was made into a meme.

When comedian Lucy Beaumont said, “You know what you do in a well, don’t you?” before the challenge, she replied, “Put the pussy in.”

Until Imrie’s confession, none of the Traitors – Ross, Alan Carr, and Cat Burns – had really even been suspected – but is their time running out and are the Faithfuls finally onto them?

Earlier in the episode, Welsh singer Charlotte Church became the latest contestant to be “murdered” by the traitors – comedian Alan Carr, TV presenter Jonathan Ross and singer Cat Burns – who had plotted their next move during last Thursday’s episode.

Two-year-old Lilah Smoot had a seizure at home, and an MRI revealed a tumour on her brain, which, despite being removed, was a very uncommon cancer.

A mum thought Taylor Swift’s $100,000 (£75,000) donation to her daughter’s GoFundMe amid her gruelling cancer journey was a joke.

Katelynn Smoot’s life was shattered when her then 18-month-old daughter Lilah was diagnosed with ATRT — atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumour — a very rare and aggressive tumour. She shared her family’s journey on Instagram and TikTok, and a video of her toddler dancing to Swift’s tune Fortnight.

Swift, a 35-year-old woman, immediately donated the sizable sum to the fundraiser, increasing its value by a third. The treatment Lilah needs now fits her budget. Knowing that Swift saw our video makes me enthralled, said mother-of-two Katelynn.

The donation is incredible, but it means a lot that she took the time to watch, care, and communicate that message. The Swifties ran after her donation, which led to her death. She’s almost doubled her donation right now. Thank you is something I feel inadequate for.

As ATRT is so rare, there is only one known treatment pathway — and it involves two rounds of induction chemotherapy, three rounds of high-dose chemo with stem cell rescue, and six weeks of proton radiation. The family’s closest children’s hospitals do not offer all of the treatment plan, such as the proton radiation.

There is a 100% chance that Lilah will pass away if you don’t treat her cancer. There aren’t many treatment options because it’s so uncommon; “Katelynn, from North Carolina, continued. There is really only one protocol that has been used for the past 25 years.”

The brave youngster has overcome all of her difficulties, and her mother earlier this month captured her on camera dancing to Fortnight. Lilah, now two, looked at the screen and said, “That’s my friend,” mid-dance. The adorable clip was shared on Katelynn’s social media account.

Katelynn continued, “I didn’t even realize what she said at first… That’s your friend, I asked, “What’s your name?” and she responded, “Yes.” And to be honest, they really have a… People really believe Taylor is going to see this, I joked to my husband. You never know, he said to me. But I had no real hopes that she would.

Swift, who has 14 Grammys, was able to see the video. Tyler, Katelynn’s husband, called his wife to let her know about her donation after seeing it. Katelynn was certain he was ending her, but a GoFundMe message less than an hour later left her confused.

The mum told People: “At first, I thought he was joking. For about 30 minutes, we questioned if it was real. But then we saw it come through on the back end of GoFundMe, along with a message that said, ‘Sending you the biggest hug to my friend Lilah.’ That’s when I knew Taylor really saw the video — and she meant it.”

Lilah saw the artist on the iPad and once more said, “That is my friend,” as they filmed a thank-you message. The singer’s family has not spoken to him, but they did express gratitude last night.

She said, “She’s a very busy woman, and what she did was more than enough.” I’m just hoping she realizes our gratitude. She reportedly extended the biggest hug to us, Katelynn said.

It’s just that she has a happy life, no matter how short or long it may be, she says to be completely accurate about her hopes and dreams (Lilah). I just want her life to be joyful, full of experiences, and memories.

Lesley Joseph, the star of Birds of a Feather, revealed in a rare family confession about how her job affects being a grandmother.

Lesley Joseph has candidly confessed to feeling a “tremendous guilt” due to her lack of time spent with her grandchildren. The Birds Of A Feather star, 80, has had a glittering career that spans over six decades.

She acknowledged that she could be more focused on her family’s needs during a conversation at the Sunday Variety Club Showbusiness Awards in London, where she received the Outstanding Contribution to Theatre and Television award.

Lesley, who previously dated Carl Littlejohn and has two children, Andrew and Elizabeth, rarely talks about her family obligations. She has now admitted to feeling guilty for “not being the grandmother my kids probably expected.”

She then acknowledged that her family issues had gotten in the way of her career. She explained that she had never attended a school or had babysitting when discussing having grandkids for the first time. Simply put, I find it difficult to refuse acting positions.

One of her rare private conversations has taken place here. She mentioned losing her mother in 2016.

She said losing a parent when you’re older is difficult because you’ve “had them all your life,” but that it’s also difficult because they don’t get old with you.

She remarked, “My mother and I had a very close relationship. She was the last of the 12 to pass away. In my head, I communicate with her daily.

She had a lifelong thirst, and I don’t think you ever forget that. Hopefully, touch wood, I have her genes.

Lesley also recently admitted to the pressure of staying slim. The actress, who has had a hugely successful theatre career following her on-screen antics, spoke to Good Morning Britain’s Richard Madeley and Susanna Reid.

Richard then inquired of her about the weight issue during her time on the show after opening up about her role as Dorien on the renowned sitcom. He questioned whether it was accurate to say that she felt called upon to play the role.

I’ve always had to work hard to maintain my weight, Lesley said, “She was]a skinny bean.” We have an awards ceremony on Sunday, which is similar to today, and I have to work hard to keep my weight down to fit in a tight dress.

As well as Birds Of A Feather, Lesley has appeared on stage in Sister Act: The Musical and The Addams Family. Other touring productions she has starred in include shows such as Thoroughly Modern Millie, while she regularly played the part of Miss Hannigan in Annie.

Next year, from February, she will be seen in a production of Road in Manchester opposite comedienne Lucy Beaumont and former Coronation Street star Shobna Gulati.

The Wanted’s Siva Kaneswaran has revealed the touching promise he made to bandmate Tom Parker before his tragic death. The world of music was left devastated when Tom died in 2022 aged just 33.

The musician died from a brain tumour. Almost five years ago Tom first revealed his incurable diagnosis. He was diagnosed with grade IV glioblastoma and died on March 30 2022.

Siva has now admitted to telling his pal a promise he made in the weeks leading up to his passing. Prior to Tom’s passing, the 36-year-old had been a supportive friend to him and described how much the late musician loved his family.

“He deeply loved his family and community, and his fans,” Siva told The Sun as he explained how Tom was passionate about raising awareness of his condition. “Part of his legacy had always been talking about his brain tumour and keeping the conversation going.”

Siva continued, “I said, listen, I got this,” making an open statement about his commitment to Tom. This is common to all of us. Even if you can’t, we’re going to do everything we can to keep your story moving forward.

Siva reaffirmed his commitment by calling his bandmate a “brother to me.” He stated once more that he would continue to follow Tom’s advice to avoid forgetting.

Tom left his wife Kelsey Parker and their two children, Aurelia and Bodhi, behind at the time of his passing. Siva has collaborated with GenesisCare, a private cancer charity, as part of his commitment. And he acknowledges that their ambitions have blown him away.

Kelsey, Tom’s widow, mentioned how crucial it is to preserve her late husband’s memory in May. She confirmed that she will always carry on Tom’s legacy despite starting a new life with her partner Will Lindsay.

An annual charity football game in his honor has been organized since his death. It has developed into a celebration of the singer’s life and a heartfelt legacy.

Additionally, it is a crucial fundraiser for brain tumor prevention and treatment, with proceeds going to Ahead of the Game, a charity that fought and supported Tom and his family throughout his illness.

Before the event this year, Kelsey expressed her gratitude to those who participated, saying: “I and my entire family value raising money to fund Ahead of the Game and awareness for brain tumors.

“We’re so happy to be able to do this once more,” said the team. The support has been fantastic once more. It’s a really great community and family day out, so please come down and support us. We really appreciate you to Bromley F. C. for hosting us once more and to Grove Gallery for their return as our official sponsors.

Tributes have flooded in for a Grand Designs star, Pep, following the Channel 4 renovation programme’s revelation that she had died during filming after a courageous fight with cancer.

Viewers got to know Malene and her partner Pep, who were passionately leading the project to build their dream home, during Wednesday’s (October 22) episode of the reality series.

In a moving tribute to Malene’s Danish roots, they were creating their interpretation of a Viking Hall.

Pep could enjoy the amount of time she had left before the house was built, according to presenter Kevin McCloud, who visited the couple. They were erecting the house as quickly as possible, along with an emotionally committed construction crew.

When Pep and Pep discussed their goals, Pep said, “We hope to build a building in that time because nine months is a good time to make babies.” Because I want to spend as much time there as possible, we must move forward.

Nevertheless, as the episode progressed and renovations were nowhere near completion, it was subsequently disclosed that despite the chemotherapy, Pep’s health was declining as Kevin revealed she had entered palliative care , reports the Express.

Pep and Malene were spot-on right away, the presenter said. The pair were surviving their way through a serious illness that Pep was having while also receiving Pep’s treatment for her cancer.

Kevin exclaimed, “However, in the last week Pep has had one of those meetings with her doctors that any of us would dread, in which she was informed that they would stop her treatment and that they would move her to palliative care.”

The star’s condition clearly deteriorated throughout the episode as she transitioned from being a confident inspector of the renovations to observing from the window. Malene later clarified that she is now more comfortable inside because she is currently experiencing the cold. She is suffering greatly, I am aware of that.

Tragically, Kevin later confirmed that Pep faced down her cancer diagnosis with a courage and determination that was inspiring, but in the final weeks of her journey she finally reached the end.

Devastated viewers were left in tears as they flocked to X/Twitter with tributes, with one writing: “The saddest #GrandDesigns I’ve ever seen. In tears here. Rest in peace lovely, brave lady.”

One viewer predicted: “I’ve got a bad feeling about this one… there are no “after” photos of the build with Pep before the revelation of her death. Another irritable viewer remarked, “Oh, #granddesigns is a terrible tearjerker.”

A third person said, “This is very poignant tonight. #granddesigns.” A fifth person said: “This has been a rather sombre #granddesigns episode,” while the other described the installment as: “A truly emotional tribute.”

After five months in Surrey Hill, Malene declared that she was determined to finish the project because Pep’s legacy was so important to her. She cried out, “I’m going to make sure that the construction is finished.”

Watchers of The Traitors on Bravo referred to Claudia’s most recent look as her “best yet” and it’s from Zara.

We lust after Claudia Winkleman’s outfits each episode because her Celebrity Traitors wardrobe has almost as much drama as the roundtables. Her stylist Sinead McKeefry has been styling her in some incredible pieces from Simone Rocha and Prada this season. She only recently stepped out of the designer labels, giving Claudia the opportunity to rock out in what might be the most affordable jacket the series has ever seen the star wear.

Sharing on Instagram the details of Claudia’s episode five look, Sinead notes that the brown longline coat, which had us all looking at the TV with heart eyes, is from high street favourite Zara. This will come as great news to all of Claudia fans who have been asking in the comment section of Sinead’s latest post where they can pick up the jacket from.

You can find the Zara Coat with Combined Leather Effect Collar for £119 here, which matches the one Claudia is wearing almost exactly. However, we do wonder if this is a slightly newer version of the presenter’s jacket since hers seems to have an added pocket detail. Regardless, after news of this coat’s presence on The Traitors, we doubt it will be in stock for much longer.

“Fabulous outfit, brilliant styling. Love Maxmara’s coat, Maxmara? before Sinead established that Zara was the one follower.

Another writer wrote, “This might be her best outfit so far,” and a third later, “Outfit is the best ever.”

A fourth person inquired, “Is this season on the Zara website? “

We suggest making a quick decision if you want to get your hands on this Combined Leather Effect Collar before the general public. It appears to be Claudia’s jacket from the year 2025.

As for the rest of Claudia’s episode five look, we also spotted a new pair of fingerless gloves from British brand Hambro & Miller. The fair Isle wrist warmers (green/cream) will set you back £75, which might feel like a lot for a pair of gloves, but they are made from a gorgeous 100% alpaca fabric.
