Anthea Turner left the show on Christmas Eve 1996 after two turbulent years with Eamonn Holmes at GMTV. She still believes that his jealousy of her National Lottery show was to blame.

Eamonn Holmes, a well-known television presenter who collaborated with him, claims that when she joined him on a well-known daytime TV show, there was almost instant friction.
Eamonn has collaborated with a long line of well-known faces, including his ex-wife Ruth Langsford, and has become one of the most well-known faces on British television for decades.
He hasn’t, however, jelled with any of his former coworkers. Eamonn, who he had with him on the GMTV sofa in 1994, made up for her background, according to Anthea Turner.
“Eamonn is a trained journalist and I’m not,” she told The Times. “That caused tension from the start… The other thing was I didn’t have my ass on that sofa for very long before I was asked to present the National Lottery too, and I think that also annoyed him.”
Anthea’s first lottery show appearance attracted a sizable 22-million-plus TV audience. ‘Eamonn reportedly lobbied GMTV bosses to have her fired, calling her “too ambitious” and giving her the vile nickname “Princess Tippy Toes.”
She claimed that when someone asked if she was ambitious, they would always make out to be ruthless and would walk over anyone to get where they wanted. It could be said that I was “stabbing my feet” or that I was hormonal.
She added: “And yet ask that question to a man, and if he’s ambitious, we think: ‘What a guy’. You’d never hear anyone say that about Eamonn or Phillip Schofield. No, they’re just doing their job.”
Anthea walked away from the “toxic” situation at GMTV on Christmas Eve 1996. Over a decade later, the former Blue Peter presenter said she was still “hurt” by the way she was perceived.
She said, “I haven’t weighed myself down with anything from the past, or any of that negativity,” in a statement on the Miranda Holder Weekly Fashion Podcast.
Nobody wants to be misrepresented, and no one likes injustice. It hurts a lot, really hurt.
Anthea expressed mixed feelings about Eamonn during a television interview in 2018: “There is a fine line between hate and love, isn’t there? ” It’s easier to stay friends with Eamonn and I because we were talking during the break.
Her remarks sparked a somewhat tense atmosphere in the This Morning studio, with Eamonn’s then-wife Ruth Langsford visibly taking exception to Anthea calling him her “ex.”
Before Anthea interrupted her and said, “Ah, but we were telly husband and wife,” Ruth emphasized that she and Eamonn were “properly married.”

She later claimed that any talk of a friendship between her and Anthea and Eamonn was exaggerated, telling the Express: “I don’t think Eamonn and I speak lots.” We reunited, but those are just headlines.
There was obviously the hullabaloo, she added. I remember going there about 15 years ago, and we signed a Good Friday Agreement, and I actually went there where he was doing a show.

Thomas Skinner, has broken his silence after it was reported he would be ‘suing the BBC for rigging voting’ following his early exit from the show.
Taking to X, confirming he would not be at the Strictly final tonight after being the first celebrity to leave the show this season. He also responded to claims he is seeking legal advice over the show’s voting figures – revealing he was advised to do so by a team at the BBC to do so. Meanwhile, he also took aim at ‘coincidental’ exits that have taken place following him seeking legal advise.
The full bombshell statement reads: “As most of you will have seen in the papers, I won’t be at the final of Strictly Come Dancing tonight.”
“This is what I want to say first,” I spoke with Amy Dowden, my lovely dance partner, to make sure she understood that I wouldn’t be there. I would never let her down because she is now both a good person and friend.
“When I was given the chance to perform Strictly back in April, I was buzzing.” Not because I can dance, but… I can’t. But because I wanted to test myself and discover something completely out of my comfort zone.
“I received an email from an unidentified BBC executive claiming to have received more votes than it appeared and that it wasn’t accurate the night I left the show.” Since then, the email has been independently verified.
“That same email mentioned the BBC was very angry an nervous simply because I had met JD Vance (USA VICE PRESIDENT). Let me be clear, I’m not a political bloke. Never have been. I just love my country and am patriotic. I’ve been made out by the press to be this political figure. If anyone was to get an opportunity like what I did, they would have taken it. I still think it is mad that a man like me who sells mattresses out of a van can call someone that senior in the world ’s politics a friend now.”
“I’ve requested the official voting figures to refute the information I received in the email, but I was informed that they couldn’t be shown to me.” and have never been shown before. I’ve discussed the email I received from senior staff members and the BBC welfare team, both of whom I genuinely respect. And because of how unfair everything was, they were the ones who advised me to seek legal counsel. (This was not my intention)
“There were also some smaller things that made the feeling stronger. On the show, everyone received a welcome gift, including face masks and skincare products. The only person who appeared to have “got stolen” was mine. It’s nothing on its own. but when it was combined with everything else, it suddenly seemed strange.”
Because I participated in this show, I was made to appear to be someone else who was actually not. The opinions were derived from media reports over the summer that were simply false or exaggerated. What has happened to my family and me isn’t fair.
“I also want to say this judiciously. A very senior BBC official has since resigned after receiving this information and having it verified. Although it didn’t have anything to do with me, it did feel strange. The main hosts also resigned the following week. Again, I don’t want to sound off about it. All of it is purely coincidental. Being truthful is all I’m saying.
“I also didn’t want any of this to appear in the press.” Over the past few months, I’ve found it difficult to accept that much of what has been said has been exaggerated or untrue about me. If I’m honest, it’s not nice what has been said about me because this is my life. What I find odd is that this was national news by Thursday morning after a private Zoom call with BBC executives on Wednesday night about moving forward. That indicates that there has been a leak. because I don’t get it from the press. (It might be from the sender of the email) ….. I opposed making this news national news; rather, I opposed making any of it. I don’t want people to think I’m bitter when I don’t, but I’m writing a statement now to let people know the truth about why I’m not coming. I object to the publication of more untrue stories.
“I’m not kicking off for attention. I’m not saying I should’ve won either. I was rubbish at dancing we all know that. But love me or hate me you do have to appreciate the massive following I have, I can’t even walk into the local Tesco without getting stopped for selfies. I just believe in fairness and respect.”

“I wish each and every dancer the best tonight. They deserve their moment because they have worked their socks off. He concluded the statement by saying, “I have fish to sell on my stall and a family I love more than anything.” I appreciate your constant love. Bosh”.

Tom Brady’s ex, supermodel, Gisele Bundchen, has said ‘I do’ again after getting hitched to her jiu-jitsu instructor boyfriend.
The Brazilian, 45, who welcomed a baby boy with martial arts guru, Joaquim Valentes, earlier this year, split from NFL star, Tom in 2022. After declaring that their marriage was “irretrievably broken”, Gisele found love with her fellow Brazilian beau in 2023 before announcing they were expecting a baby together in 2024.
After Gisele initially hired Joaquim to teach her kids self-defense, they later reportedly got married on December 3 in an intimate ceremony at their Florida home.

According to TMZ, while Gisele and Joaquim didn’t broadcast the nuptials on social media or make a big spectacle beforehand, this wasn’t a ‘secret’ wedding because close family and friends knew about their plans. The couple were first spotted together in November 2022, when they visited Costa Rica with the model’s two kids she shares with Tom.
The Brazilian bombshell, who is hailed as one of the most iconic supermodels of recent times, originally denied a romantic relationship with her trainer, but a love later blossomed between the pair. In February 2024, a source confirmed the couple’s relationship to People magazine and noted that their friendship had become a romance.
They initially appeared to be close friends, “but they eventually became great friends.” She wanted to keep it quiet while getting to know each other because she is very private about this, a source at the time.
A second source said that Joaquim “was a huge comfort” for Gisele “while she went through her divorce” with Tom. She and the former NFL star filed for divorce on October 28, 2022, after 13 years of marriage.
Ahead of their shock split, Gisele reportedly told Tom that he “either leaves football to spend time with the family or she will be gone for good,” per a US Weekly article published in October 2022.
Additionally, the model also released a cryptic quote on Instagram at around that time, in which their divorce was announced, which read: “You can’t be in a committed relationship with someone who is inconsistent with you. Read that again.”
Before meeting Joaquim, the insider claimed that Gisele was hesitant to date following her divorce and that he was a great man. He is encouraging, kind, and down to earth. After the divorce, Gisele was reluctant to date Joaquim, but it seemed like a natural fit for her.

They share the same background, they say. Both of them were young when they left Brazil. Both of them have built incredible lives in the United States.
Gisele’s in a great space, the pair explained, explaining that they both enjoy traveling and healthy living in Florida. She finds life to be very enjoyable and joyful. Joaquim is ideal for her.
Thomas Skinner, the Apprentice star, has broken his silence following a report that he would be “suing the BBC for rigging voting” as a result of his early departure from Strictly Come Dancing.
After being the first celebrity to leave the show this season, he told X, “I won’t be at the final of Strictly Come Dancing tonight,” confirming that to X. This is what I want to say first. I spoke with Amy Dowden, my lovely dance partner, to make sure she understood that I wouldn’t be there.
I would never let her down because she is now both a good person and friend. I was enthralled when I was offered the chance to perform Strictly back in April. Not because I can dance, but… I can’t. But because I wanted to test myself and discover something completely out of the ordinary.
He claimed he received an “anonymous email” “the night he received the boot from the show,” in which it claimed he had received more votes than it appeared, and that it wasn’t true. Since then, the email has been independently verified.
After meeting with USA Vice President, JD Vance, Tom continued, claiming that the email mentioned that the BBC was “very angry and nervous” because I met with JD Vance (USA Vice President). Let me be clear: I’m not a political jerk. Never have been. I’m patriotic and just love my country. The media has identified me as a political figure. If someone had seized a chance similar to what I did, they would have seized it. I still find it revolting for a man like me, who rents mattresses from a van and refers to a senior figure in world politics as a friend.
Tom then claimed that he had requested the official voting results but that the email had been sent with the statement that “couldn’t be shown to him,” adding that he had also asked for the official voting results. and have never been shown before in the show’s history.
Tom continued, “I have spoken about the email I had received to senior people and the BBC welfare team, who btw I genuinely respect,” insisting that he “genuinely respects” the BBC and that it was the broadcaster’s welfare team who advised him to seek legal advice. And because of how unfair everything was, they were the ones who advised me to seek legal counsel. (This was not my intention at all.)
A spokesperson for the BBC said that the public vote for Strictly Come Dancing is robust, independent, and thoroughly verified to ensure complete accuracy when pressed to comment on earlier reports that Tom was bringing legal action against the BBC.
Additionally, the corporation has disclosed to the Mirror that it hasn’t received any paperwork or legal complaints related to this issue.
Tom’s post has received a response from the BBC.
In a further bombshell statement, Tom mentioned Claudia Winkleman and Tess Daly, both of whom are leaving Strictly when the current series wraps up tonight.
After claiming to have received the “unknown email,” he suggested that their departure was ” coincidental.” I also want to take this seriously. A very senior BBC official has since resigned after receiving this information and having it verified. Although it didn’t have anything to do with me, it did feel strange. The main hosts also resigned the following week. Again, I don’t want to sound off about it. All of it is purely coincidental. I’m being truthful, I promise.
Tom replied, “I’m not kicking off for attention,” insisting that he wasn’t. I’m not arguing that I should have won either. We all are aware that I was terrible at dancing. Love or hate me, though, you do have to respect my enormous following. I can’t even walk into a Tesco without being stopped for selfies.
“I simply think in fairness and respect.” I wish each and every dancer a happy dance tonight. They deserve their moment because they have worked their socks off.
I have fish on my stall, and I love my family more than anything, according to the statement.

A royal expert tells the Mirror why Prince Harry might experience mixed emotions this Christmas and why the royal family has been sending mixed messages amid the royal feud.

Prince Harry won’t be spending Christmas with his father and brother, for the seventh year in a row(Image: Getty Images)
This Christmas will be the seventh year that Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have been missing from the royal family festivities as the family feud rumbles on. The younger royal brother, 41, was once a key figure in the Sandringham celebrations, including the traditional walk to the St Mary Magdalene Church service, but has been absent from the family occasion since 2018.
According to former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond, Harry likely has conflicted feelings about the holiday as he will be determined to make it special for his and Meghan’s young children, Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4. “He’s on record as saying he misses elements of his UK life, including the banter, pub culture, friends, and family gatherings,” she said,

She continued, “And he says he still has a deep love for Britain so the images of his family making that familiar walk to Sandringham Church might, indeed, pull at his heartstrings. But maybe not for long. When he’s enjoying Christmas in the warm Californian sunshine, with his wife, children and mother-in-law, the attraction of an often grey, damp Norfolk might fade a little.”
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are scheduled to visit Montecito over the holiday season with Meghan’s mother and Doria Ragland, the children’s grandmother, who reside just a short drive from their Los Angeles family home.
Former Suits actress Meghan, 44, was in full Christmas mode earlier this month with the release of her With Love Holiday Special on Netflix.
She gave her top holiday wrapping and cooking advice, as well as what she termed “small moments” that gave you the energy you crave for the holidays, like making handwritten notes for Archie and Lilibet’s homemade advent calendar.
She added that she enjoys adding personal touches to her Christmas tree, saying, “There’s just something about it that in one area of your house you can really encapsulate your family story, really feel the passage of time and the different chapters of your life through the ornaments.”
Her sentiment about the importance of family served as another reminder about just how fractured Harry’s relationship is with his own UK relatives, in particular Prince William, who is expected to spend this Christmas day with Kate and their children with his father at Sandringham.
“I imagine that for King Charles there will always be a sadness that both his boys and their children aren’t with him at this special time of year. His two daughters in law often speak about love, kindness and the importance of family – and yet William and Harry remain as far apart as ever.”

“But I don’t think Harry would be willing to omit the formalities of a royal Christmas from the relaxed, chilled-out California celebration. So there might be some nostalgia, but I believe Harry will enjoy spending time with his children in an American family day.
Thomas Markle Sr, Meghan’s father, is recovering from an emergency limb amputation in a hospital in the Philippines.
