But on Thursday evening, she appeared at the glitzy awards held at Claridge’s Hotel, alongside the likes of Celia Imrie, Jade, Olivia Wilde and Spice Girls star, Melanie C.

Cheryl Tweedy has been known for her fashion and has been hailed as an inspiration for millions, and it appears Kylie Minogue has been influenced by her previous outfits
Kylie Minogue appeared to take inspiration from Cheryl Tweedy as she posed with Prince William. The Australian pop princess was joined by the heir to the throne and fellow pop star Shawn Mendes at the fifth Earthshot Prize Awards in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
But as the Padam hitmaker posed alongside the future King, it became clear that she may have taken inspiration from British pop icon Cheryl for her outfit. The 57-year-old hitmaker stepped out in a beige mini dress, which was decorated with cream leather cut-outs.
However, Geordie star Cheryl wore the exact same outfit to celebrate her 28th birthday at the Sanderson Hotel in London on July 1, 2011. The Girls Aloud beauty completed her look with a striking blonde shoulder-length bob hairstyle and a gold clutch bag. She wore extremely high gold-heeled shoes for her celebration.
Kylie also opted for a pair of gold heels, but decided to keep her accessories to a minimum on the green carpet of the event. While it’s unclear if the decision was intentional, the pair seem to have a connection. Cheryl has made it no secret that she would love to collaborate with Kylie. In 2018, Kylie was one of nine writers on Cheryl’s hit, “Love Made Me Do It.”

Pauline Collins once revealed that giving up her firstborn child for adoption was the most heartbreaking decision she had ever made, but she was later reunited with her daughter

Pauline Collins’ decision to give up her firstborn was the “most awful thing” she ever did. The legendary Shirley Valentine actress died at her care home in Highgate, North London, this week. She was 85 years old.
Her family said she died “peacefully” surrounded by her loved ones, having battled Parkinson’s for several years. In her memoir, Letter To Louise, released in 1992, Pauline opened up about the toughest decision she has ever made in her life.
Aged just 22, as a working actress in Ireland, she fell pregnant with her first child. In a heartbreaking move, she made the decision to put Louise, her daughter, up for adoption – a decision she kept from her friends and family for several years. Pauline, of Irish extraction, was brought up as a devout Catholic in Wallasey, Cheshire.
In her memoir, she spoke of the heartbreaking time. “I had her adopted when she was six weeks old,” Collins wrote. She went on to add: “It was the most awful thing ever to do.
“It’s extraordinary how you make these decisions in life. I thought my reasons for doing so were good. They were partly familial because my parents were teachers at Catholic schools and partly because I had not a penny in the world and nothing to offer this child.
“It is extraordinary thinking about it now because it means so little now. I remember thinking at one time if she was a boy it wasn’t so bad to be an illegitimate boy it was somehow more romantic. But it was tougher being an illegitimate girl because there would always people saying she will go the same way as her mother. For that reason I decided on adoption.”
Pauline continued: “It was awful, it broke my heart. It was like having a piece of your heart ripped out. I think it floors you for the rest of your life.” Later in Pauline’s life, her daughter, Louise, aged 21, tracked her down and they were reunited with one another.
But after her decision, Pauline knew the pair would be reunited someday, and it would be Louise who made the first move. She said: “I felt absolutely delighted when I opened her letter. I wasn’t surprised as three days before I had this extraordinary dream about her in which she was speaking to me so I knew it was coming. My three children were delighted.”
Pauline’s daughter, Kate, once wished for a sister and two weeks later, Louise came calling. Pauline starred in the first serithe es of sitcom The Liver Birds but did not become a household name until getting a regular role in Upstairs Downstairs in 1971.
She married fellow actor John Alderton in 1969. Her role in the 1989 film Shirley Valentine, playing the lead character of the bored Liverpudlian housewife, earned her an Oscar nomination.
Confirming her death, a statement read: “We are heartbroken to announce that Pauline Collins died peacefully at her care home in Highgate this week, having endured Parkinson’s for several years.
“She was surrounded by her family. Pauline was so many things to so many people, playing a variety of roles in her life. A bright, sparky, witty presence on stage and screen. Her illustrious career saw her play politicians, mothers and queens.
“She will always be remembered as the iconic, strong-willed, vivacious and wise Shirley Valentine – a role that she made all her own. We were familiar with all those parts of her because her magic was contained in each one of them. More than anything, though, she was our loving mum, our wonderful grandma and great-grandma. Warm, funny, generous, thoughtful, wise, she was always there for us. And she was John’s life-long love. A partner, work collaborator, and wife of 56 years.”
The statement ended saying: “We particularly want to thank her carers: angels who looked after her with dignity, compassion, and most of all love. She could not have had a more peaceful goodbye. We hope you will remember her at the height of her powers, so joyful and full of energy; and give us the space and privacy to contemplate a life without her.”
Her husband, John Alderton, whom she married in 1969, said: “Pauline Collins was a remarkable star. I had the great good fortune to have worked with her more than any other actor in our many TV series, films and West End stage shows together, and watched her genius at close quarters.
“What I saw was not only her brilliant range of diverse characters but her magic of bringing out the best in all of the people she worked with. She wanted everyone to be special and she did this by never saying ‘Look at me’. It’s no wonder that she was voted the nation’s sweetheart in the 1970s. She will always be remembered for Shirley Valentine, not only for her Oscar nomination or the film itself, but for clean-sweeping all seven awards when she portrayed her on Broadway in the stage play, in which she played every character herself.
“But her greatest performance was as my wife and mother to our beautiful children.” The actress’s family said that anyone wishing to donate in her memory can make a donation to Parkinson’s UK via their website, here.

Cat Burns on THAT Celebrity Traitors blunder
Imagine not only not knowing who Dame Judi Dench is but publicly admitting it… on national TV… in front of her co-stars!
Cat left Celebrity Traitors fans gobsmacked when she confessed she had “no idea” who Dame Judi was – or Dame Helen Mirren, for that matter – during a tense Celebrity Traitors challenge.
“I’m never going to live that down,” laughed Cat during an interview with Scott Mills on BBC Radio 2 earlier today. “I just needed to see a picture. If people just say names at me, I don’t know who that is – but if I see a face, I know!”
Oh Cat. You might have blanked on Britain’s acting royalty, but this was definitely one of the most iconic Traitors moments of the series.

Radio presenter Chris Evans revealed that producers had contacted him about joining the series while chatting to former England football boss Sir Gareth Southgate, who remained tight-lipped when questioned about his own potential involvement in the BBC show.

Celebrity Traitors finalist Nick Mohammed has revealed the very touching way he asked the all-important question to his wife. The Ted Lasso actor, 45, is hoping he has what it takes to secure the money for charity in the murder-mystery Celebrity Traitors final tonight.
He has impressed viewers with his logic and immediately caught attention thanks to his puzzle solving skills. Nick has even admitted he has an almost photographic memory and is able to memorise a pack of playing cards.
And it is clear Nick relied on those impressive skills when choosing to propose to his wife. He decided to treat her to a heartwarming Beethoven proposal and revealed all in a recent interview.

He explained on BBC Radio 3: “When I proposed to Becka, and this is ten years ago now, I heard one of her favourite movements is the second movement of the Fifth Symphony and it’s the slow movement. I thought, well maybe I can track down this music.
“So I tracked down this music and just about figured out my part on the piano.” Sharing how he turned her love for the music into a romantic proposal, Nick added: “When I proposed, I actually presented just this music.
“I said ‘oh I have been pracitsing it,’ and then on the last page it said ‘would you marry me?’. Beethoven, the symphonic works, just feel really special for that reason as well.”
Fans loved the unique proposal as one said: “There’s just something very special about him.” Another added: “He is such a lovely man. I wish more man would be like that.”
Someone else commented: “He’s just the best.” Nick previously said the maths and recall stunts he does are “real and legit” explaining that he learnt them himself.
“My eldest son has an eidetic memory, which is essentially photographic, but mine is good too,” he told the Sunday Post in 2023, speaking about the feats that have gone viral after appearances on the likes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown that left Rob Beckett and Jimmy Carr speechless.
The TV star studied Geophysics at Durham, having turned down the chance to attend the equally-prestigious University of Cambridge, and played violin in the orchestra. He paid his way through university doing magic at summer balls, parties and weddings.
Nick has opted to keep his wife out of the public eye but they met while at Durham and even performed together in the orchestra. The pair tied the knot in 2014, with Nick announcing: “Got married last weekend, this is my niece’s impression of the events,” before adding: “WHAT IS GOING ON NEAR MY WIFE’S CROTCH?””
They have three children together, and their eldest, Finn, appeared alongside him on an episode of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown. In an interview with The Guardian, Nick was asked about the ‘funniest person’ he knows.
In a heartwarming reply, he said: “My wife. Pretty much every day she’ll say something that makes me roar with laughter (which I’ll then secretly write down).”

A Love Island star is set to take to the stage at next year’s Eurovision Song Contest in a huge move that could boost her singing career. The reality TV contestant will become the first from the hit ITV2 dating show to perform in the competition.
Antigoni Buxton will perform for Cyprus at the contest, which takes place in Vienna in May. She failed to find love back in 2022, but has instead focused on her music career.
The hard work has certainly been paying off for her as she revealed her huge achievement. Antigoni said: “My dream came true today. My Cyprus I will do you proud.

“I am so humbled, honoured & grateful. Thank you God.” The singer was chosen to represent the country by the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation.
She also shared the sweet moment she told her grandparents the exciting news as she added: “The fact they are here to see me represent the country that taught me to love and be proud means more than anything.”
Antigoni’s music has been described as “a vibrant fusion of pop, hip hop production and traditional Greek Bouzouki – a genre-bending mix that feels both contemporary and timeless.” She even learned to sword dance for her recent video as she pursues her music career.
Peforming at Eurovision won’t be Antigoni’s first time in front of an impressive crowd, however. Just a few days ago, she sang alongside Hollywood A-lister Jason Momoa at his London bar Rex Rooms.
Jason was on the bass while Antigoni did her thing at the intimate venue’s wild afterparty. She has also performed eight dates at London venue Shepherd’s Bush Empire.
“Thank you to every person at every show for being so welcoming and showing so much love,” she said. “Feel so blessed to have connected with so much beautiful energy all over.”
It seems like Eurovision is a long time coming for Antigoni as she even told the Mirror about her plans back in 2022. She had applied to represent Greece in the 2023 competition, which was hosted in Liverpool after Ukraine had to step down as host.
Antigoni, whose mother is presenter and restaurateur Tonia Buxton, revealed she submitted three songs and was waiting to hear back. Opening up about her application, she told us: “Fingers crossed. It would be a dream come true.

“I remember being a kid and watching Greece win the Eurovision in 2005 and I’ve always been in awe of that and proud of my Greek Cypriot roots. My whole music style is like a combination of UK sound and Greek sound so it just feels like it would be the most perfect thing for me to do.”
She added: “I submitted three songs that were written for the purpose of Eurovision so now it’s up to the decision-makers and we can hope for the best. I feel like I have a massive opportunity to represent my Greek culture because it’s here [in the UK] and because of the platform I have now I feel like I could do a really, really good job. So fingers crossed it comes through!”
