Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty are set to tie the knot later this year but the day is threatening to be overshadowed by the fallout between Holly and her husband-to-be’s mum

The bitter fallout between Adam Peaty’s mum and Holly Ramsay appears to have taken another turn. Holly and Adam’s mum Caroline are said to have had a major falling out before the couple’s wedding day.

The tension is thought to have surrounded the decision by then-bride-to-be Holly to snub the gown Caroline had bought. The issues are then thought to have grown larger, culminating in the latest blow.

Tensions reportedly came to a head when Caroline bought her frock for the big day. Sadly, she was reportedly told by her son and future daughter-in-law that they didn’t approve of it.

It’s alleged the pair then offered to buy her another outfit to wear that they would choose. Plans were in place to take her to Bath to find the new dress.

However, that fell apart after a recent knife attack in Cambridgeshire caused train cancellations, leaving Caroline and her husband Mark unable to travel. It’s said Adam was furious at the change in plans, with his aunt Janet later claiming online that the dress dispute was the final straw for her sister.

While Caroline was struck from the guest list from her Olympian son’s big day, she has now decided enough is enough on social media too. Both Caroline and Holly appear to have unfollowed each other on Instagram.

The pair no longer feature in each other’s friends list as the fallout rumbles on. The 25-year-old daughter of celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay recently celebrated her upcoming wedding to the sports star with a lavish weekend at Soho Farmhouse in Oxfordshire.

There, she was joined by her mum Tana, sisters Megan and Tilly, and close family friend Victoria Beckham. While both herself and the former Spice Girl shared sweet snaps of the momentous occasion, there was a noticeable absentee; Caroline.

An insider told the Daily Mail, Caroline was not invited to the exclusive hen bash as tensions continue to brew. Despite his mum not being at the hen, his sister Bethany appeared.

The source claims that Caroline is now “no longer welcome” at the wedding which is taking place at Bath Abbey this Christmas. It’s thought that Bethany could be the only Peaty relative to attend to special occasion. And another source said that despite Adam’s family friction, Holly’s clan adore the swimmer.

A source close to the family said: “No matter what family dynamics are at play, when you have a global celebrity family and a normal one, there are going to be clashes. Sadly, there’s no reconciliation in sight.”

With Christmas party season just around the corner, sequin dresses are flying off the virtual shelves. The supermarket may not typically be the first place shoppers think of for chic frocks, but F&F at Tesco is fast becoming known for its affordable yet stylish fashion range, which includes a stunning sequin bandeau dress.

The F&F Velvet Sequin Embellished Bandeau Mini Dress in Cream is part of model and presenter Abbey Clancy’s latest clothing edit with the supermarket, and is available in UK sizes six to 22. Already sold out online in a size eight, the dress is proving to be a hit with fashion enthusiasts and party-goers alike.

The dress normally retails for £36 on Tesco’s website, however shoppers can now effectively get the sparkly number for just over £19 in a clever deal using TopCashback. Full details on how to claim the offer can be found below.

New members of TopCashback and new customers of F&F can effectively bag the frock for just £19.74 after cashback, whilst new members of TopCashback and existing customers of F&F can get the dress for £20.37 after cashback.

We can’t imagine many shoppers needing too much convincing to snap up the dress, but the stunning mini is made from a velvet fabric and boasts all-over sequin embellishment.

Featuring a fitted figure-hugging cut and a bandeau neckline, it’s perfect not only for party season but also for special occasions throughout the year.

Other glam frocks we’ve spotted on the high street include H&M’s £38 Bow-Detail Sequined Dress which comes in three colours and is a great alternative to their viral long-sleeved bow mini that sold out a few years ago.

Alternatively, shoppers can head to River Island for the £49 White Sequin Velvet Bow Back Mini Dress. It has a crew neck, long sleeves and a low back design.

Back at Tesco, and one review of the Abbey Clancy F&F Velvet Sequin Embellished Bandeau Mini Dress reads: “It is a truly gorgeous dress and great quality, it holds its shape well.”

However, the same shopper did also offer some advice on sizing, continuing: “I’ve found the sizing to be very off. I’d bought this dress in a 12 usually being a 12-14 in Tesco’s clothing and the dress was too big (no changing rooms to try clothes on at local stores) so I returned it and got a 10.

“Got home and tried that on and once again it is too big which is such a shame. It’s a 25 minute drive to my local shop too, so it’s not just down the road. It also didn’t carry any smaller sizes than the 10 so I’m either going to have to alter it myself or return it.”

Despite this, the dress would look great styled with bare legs, heels, and a faux fur jacket or with velvet ballet pumps for shoppers who prefer something a little easier to walk in.

Sophie Winkleman, the wife of the son of Prince and Princess of Michael of Kent, and star of Peep Show, has opened up about her royal relatives

An actress who married into the Royal Family has opened up about what the royals are really like – and why their lives are “total hell”. Sophie Winkleman is married to Lord Fredrick Windsor, the son of Prince and Princess of Michael of Kent – and is also known as Big Suze from the hit Channel 4 comedy Peep Show.

The mum-of-two, who is also the half-sister of Traitors and Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman, has continued her acting career and is set to appear in new BBC drama Wild Cherry. But she also is a regular at Royal Family events, attending the likes of King Charles ‘ Coronation and the Firm’s annual Christmas lunch in the run-up to December 25.

And in a new interview with The Times, she has revealed what she has learned about the likes of the King and the Prince and Princess of Wales.

She explained: “The more I get to know the royal family, the more I get that their lives are total hell and that level of unasked-for fame is a form of torture.

“None of them went on Pop Idol or something to be famous. To have that sort of blinding spotlight in your face from when you’re born, not knowing quite whom you can trust, not knowing if someone’s going to betray you, people writing lies about you the whole time, is just brutal. I feel for them all. I don’t think a life with that much scrutiny and pressure is remotely healthy, but they have no choice.”

In the same interview, the This Is Going To Hurt star, also mounted a defence for her royal in-laws against the negativity they often face.

She added: “The senior royals work really hard with thousands of charities in Britain and around the world, behind the scenes as well as front-facing. There’s no getting away from the fact they add huge prestige and heft to whatever cause they’re supporting.

“The King’s Trust is the greatest engineer for social mobility in Britain. Princess Anne does nearly 500 engagements per year. The Duchess of Edinburgh has just come back from Sudan, meeting surgeons who operate on violently raped toddlers — that is traumatic, serious work. I truly think my communist grandfather would be convinced by my arguments in favour of the royal family.”

It comes after Sophie has previously said she was welcomed into the clan with open arms, particularly by King Charles.

She previously said: “I’ve been incredibly welcomed with open arms by all of them… They’d never tell me off at all if I wanted to play some [racy] role.”

After marrying Lord Frederick in 2009, the couple moved to the US so that Sophie could further pursue her acting career and Maud, 12, was born while they were living in California.

The couple later moved back to the UK and welcomed their second daughter Isabella, 9, back in 2016. Sophie became the new royal patron of Children’s Surgery Foundation and later became the first female patron of School-Home Support.

She was a guest at the 2011 wedding of William and Kate, as well as at the 2019 wedding of her sister-in-law Lady Gabriella Windsor.

Kirsty Gallacher burst into tears in court while facing a driving ban. She was stripped of her licence, despite saying she had “no confidence” to use public transport and had to use her own car to ferry her family around. During a hearing, she was banned from driving for six months.

She explained that police believe an assault on her two weeks ago while she was in Central London was a “targeted attack.” Kirsty, 49, was caught speeding, doing 35mph in a 30 zone in Maiden’s Green, Berkshire, on April 1 this year, shortly after 8am.

During the emotional hearing at High Wycombe magistrates’ court, Kirsty, had attempted to apply for a driving ban exemption under mitigating circumstances. She already had nine points when she was caught in her 2020 plate Mercedes by a manned camera on a residential road. Ms Gallacher had previously pleaded guilty.

“I’m their sole carer and provider, financially,” she told the court of her children, aged 18 and 15, adding: “We live in the middle of the countryside. We’re in the middle of nowhere. I take my son to school every morning. I enjoy doing that. Public transport is not a feasible option.”

She went on to say a ban would not be fair on her younger child due to personal circumstances, adding that public transport wasn’t “feasible” where she and her family live. Gallacher, who explained she earned £150,000 per annum, said she had “no savings” and couldn’t afford to pay for a private driver or taxis.

She stated that her son may be forced to miss out on extracurricular activities, including golf and rugby, if she were banned from driving. “I have a brain tumour – an acoustic neuroma – it is benign, but it’s growing very fast,” she told the court, adding that it had been monitored for three years and she was now having radiotherapy treatment.

However, she explained that medical staff were unsure as to whether the treatment would work or if the tumour would shrink. Kirsty explained that she has to attend regular medical appointments and may have to undergo more radiotherapy and a possible operation.

While she says she’s a humble person and cannot ever use public transport, she is currently suffering from bad anxiety and understands that public transport isn’t always reliable. She says that at the moment, she is on steroids and suffers from dizziness and tinnitus.

Last month, the former Sky Sports News broadcaster explained she had been attacked while in London. “Last night I was physically assaulted in the streets of central London walking from work to my car, the walk I do most nights,” the 49-year-old said on social media. “The streets are well lit. There were people around.

“I was walking on the pavement, and I noticed this guy, all in black, covered up, actually, just walking at me. And I’m always vigilant. And he was just walking towards me, and so I moved out of the way, and then he brushed past me.

“He turned around, and he kicked me like he was kicking a football. He kicked me in the middle of a street at about seven o’clock last night, in front of people, and I turned around and he scarpered. I’m still shocked now, and I have the bruises to prove I’m afraid. I can’t quite believe what happened. I was not being provocative in any way. I was just going about my business as you do. I was just walking to my car to go back home to my family.”

“I luckily had some witnesses, some lovely girls saw it and came to my aid,” Gallacher added. “There was a security guard on a door nearby who was absolutely useless and didn’t do anything, which was hugely disappointing, and I just there, and I couldn’t actually believe that someone, a stranger, has just decided, for whatever reason, whether he’s a got a problem with women, whether he’s just an opportunist.

“He decided he did not like me, and he just thought, Now, give you the boot. And that is not okay. It’s not okay, it’s not okay.”

Amazon Prime subscribers have been urged to check out a new psychological thriller that’s set to be released onto the streaming service on November 14 – are you going to give it a watch?

Amazon Prime viewers are being urged to check out a gripping new psychological thriller that showcases a well-known comedian in an entirely different role. Malice, launching on Amazon Prime Video on November 14, centres on “a charming tutor who infiltrates a wealthy family’s life”.

As the episodes progress, his dark intentions become apparent when his “vengeful plot unfolds, the family must confront the enemy living under their own roof”. Featuring David Duchovny, Carice van Houten, and Jack Whitehall, audiences are eagerly anticipating the programme, with numerous people sharing their excitement about Whitehall’s role. After seeing the trailer, one viewer commented: “I’ve never thought of Jack as a villain, but now I can’t unsee it. There’s something unhinged about him that I love.”

While another added: “Comedians make the best dramatic actors, Jack Whitehall looks like he’s gonna be amazing in this! Holy Cow!”.

A third remarked: “Jack Whitehall went from Comedian movie actor to drama movie actor.”

While someone else concurred: “Comedians being killers just works cause they got the charisma to lure people in. I think out of the bunch of these types we’ve gotten this’ll be one of the better ones.”

A further viewer wrote: “Man, even Jack Whitehall can contribute to the British villain trope!”

While another enthusiastic fan remarked: “That’s Jack Whitehall? ! Wow impressive!”

A final viewer commented: “A villainous Jack White? Outstanding! I can’t wait. Woo-hoo!”

Jack Whitehall launched his professional stand-up comedy career in the mid 2000s, making his first major television appearance in 2008.

Since then, he’s gone on to feature in numerous shows and films including Fresh Meat, The Queen’s Corgis, Night at the Museum: Kahmunrah Rises Again, and Bad Education.

The 36-year-old secured the King of Comedy title at the British Comedy Awards in 2012, and has received seven other nominations including the Breakthrough Award at the Broadcasting Press Guild Awards in 2013, and Comedy Performance at the Royal Television Society in 2013.

Plot of Malic

Discussing Malice’s storyline, an Amazon Prime statement reveals: “Adam (Jack Whitehall) is a charismatic tutor who charms his way into the life of the wealthy Tanner family while they’re on holiday in Greece.

“When the family’s nanny falls dangerously ill, Adam orchestrates his way into their London home, and his true vengeful nature begins to emerge..

“Adam now starts to turn Jamie Tanner (David Duchovny) and Nat (Carice Van Houten) against each other and secretly plots to bring down the entire family.

“When Adam’s obsession with the family raises questions, those who dig deeper into his past find themselves playing a dangerous game.

“With his world collapsing around him, Jamie starts to realise that Adam may be responsible for all their recent disasters – but is it too late to save his family?

“In this revenge thriller that proves the past never stays buried, one question remains: how do you protect your family from the enemy within.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were seen in the pictures for Kris Jenner’s 70th birthday party – but shortly afterwards they mysteriously disappeared. Here’s why…

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry were among the celebs at Kris Jenner’s star-studded 70th birthday bash earlier this week – but why did photos of the couple mysteriously disappear from Instagram?

Kris’ daughter Kim uploaded a series of snaps from the James Bond themed bash that was held at Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezos’ Beverly Hills mansion. Huge A-list celebs who made the guest list also included Adele, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Hailey and Justin Bieber, Snoop Dogg, Serena Williams, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Oprah Winfrey and Paris Hilton. While Bruno Mars is said to have performed at the event.

In photos that now appear to have been deleted, both Meghan and Harry were seen posing for snaps with Kim and birthday girl Kris. The prince wore a classic suit in line with the black tie dress code. And Meghan wowed in a black high neck dress that was split to the thigh, which she accessorised with long gold earrings.

But shortly afterwards the photos disappeared – and now the reason why seems to have been revealed. It’s all to do with the day the photos were posted, November 11, which is Remembrance Day in the UK. The day commemorates fallen servicemen and women who have died in the line of duty since the First World War – and Prince Harry turned up to the glitzy bash wearing a poppy on his suit to mark the occasion.

According to TMZ, the Kardashians felt posting pictures of Meghan and Harry on this significant day in the UK wouldn’t land well in Britain if they kept them up. The outlet reported: “We’re told several images were deleted – not just those of Meghan and Harry.

“Also, considering it was Remembrance Sunday – a day meant to commemorate servicemen and women – in the UK, we’re told they thought it might be better to delete the images rather than push something that could get picked up and misconstrued across the pond.”

When the photos were first taken down it sparked confusion amongst fans. Taking to the website Reddit, as some wondered what was going on, one wrote: “Why delete their pic, we saw them at the party?”

Another speculated that the Sussexes may have asked for their photos to be taken down. They said: “A bit cringe to accept the invite but not want your pics associated with attending (esp when there are pap shots of you going in or out).”

It comes as Meghan announced she was making a return to acting eight years after starring in Suits. The 44-year-old is starring in new film Close Personal Friends, which is shooting in Pasadena, California.

The movie stars fellow actors Lily Collins, Brie Larson, Henry Golding and Jack Quaid, the son of actors Meg Ryan and Dennis Quaid. It’s a mid-budget romcom about two couples, one famous and one not, who become friends on holiday.

This marks Meghan’s first role since 2018 and in a self-referential twist, the Duchess will reportedly play herself. A source told The Sun: “This is a massive moment for Meghan and signifies a return to doing what she truly loves. She has been swamped with offers but this one felt right.

“It is Meghan’s way of gently putting her toe back in the water and seeing how she enjoys being back on set. Prince Harry is, of course, really supportive and quite simply wants Meghan to do whatever brings her joy.”

But it’s been said she didn’t plan to make a return to acting. In 2022 Meghan spoke out about how she would not be returning to acting any time soon. In an interview with Variety magazine at the time, she said: “I’m done. I guess never say never, but my intention is to absolutely not.”

After she started dating Harry in 2016, Meghan stepped away from acting to pursue a life as a royal. This was until they both sensationally stepped down as senior members in 2020 and moved to California, where they now live with their two children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four.
