Cheryl Tweedy, who was referred to as Cheryl Cole when she wed England footballer Ashley, raised £1 million to fund the Cheryl’s Trust Centre in Newcastle City Center.

Cheryl Tweedy’s name has been dramatically stripped from a charity for which she helped raised £1million.

The singer established the Cheryl’s Trust Centre in her native Newcastle and funds built via the Cheryl Cole Foundation have supported disadvantaged young people there for years. Cheryl, 42, declared it an “incredibly special” day when King Charles, then Prince, visited the centre in 2021.

The Prince’s Trust Cheryl’s Trust Centre, however, has been removed. A sign that reads simply “King’s Trust” was added in place of it. The Geordie star’s fan commented, “It’s very sad. She was the engine of it. Her fans are angry about the decision. It’s not at all cool, one user wrote online, “Such a cheap shot that her name was removed.”

After Charles ascended to the throne the year after his visit, the charity was formed in collaboration with royal charity, the Prince’s Trust, which later became the King’s Trust. The King thanked the actress, who appeared in Girls Aloud, for her “energy and enthusiasm” during his visit.

At the peak of the The X Factor judge’s fame, it was said that the King viewed Cheryl — who was raised in Walker, Newcastle — as a valuable ally for enhancing his public appeal. He even brought in her long-time mentor, Kristina Kyriacou, to serve as the PR chief for his extensive charity network, reports the Daily Mail. It is said Cheryl first encountered the King at a Prince’s Trust gala dinner in 2012, later joining him for tea at Clarence House.

After having son, Bear, eight, with her then-partner Liam Payne, Cheryl left the limelight after a hugely successful pop and television career that led to her earning a multi-million-dollar fortune.

One Direction singer Liam tragically died last year at the age of 31 after falling from a hotel balcony in Argentina. He left behind a £28.6million estate, and, having died without a will, named Cheryl as the administrator responsible for managing the assets on behalf of their son, Bear, the rightful heir.

According to a royal source, “Chryl’s Trust was given the name of the center at a temporary basis.” It made sense to update the center’s title and signage as well, they continued, “When the charity officially changed its name this year from the Prince’s Trust to the King’s Trust.” According to a spokesperson, “Cheryl continues to be a highly regarded Ambassador for the King’s Trust.”

This Christmas, there will be many fortunate people.

The 52 year old comedian, known for Phoenix Nights, is currently touring the UK but his show tonight was interrupted by a technical glitch.

What’s happening here, exactly? Everyone has already entered, so we can’t stop! He quipped at the packed venue. What should I do, please? Should I simply fill out? Isn’t it warm in here, too? It’s nice, that”.

Embracing the situation, Kay perched himself on a chair and kept talking to the crowd, turning the blunder into entertainment as he improvised through the unplanned interruption, reports the Liverpool Echo.

The comics’ most successful tour since 2022, which began in the comics’ current year, is now complete. He set records for Manchester’s AO Arena’s attendance record and established himself as the first performer to hold a monthly residency at London’s O2 Arena, giving the venue’s total of 45 performances.

Kay hasn’t stopped announcing more dates, pushing the tour through until 2026, despite the extreme ticket demand. Despite having a rocky beginning, viewers soon found their groove again with his distinctive humor and sharp comebacks.

Musician Aitch opened up about his sisters during the latest episode of I’m A Celeb, admitting his siblings are his ‘whole heart’, leaving fans in tears

Aitch left I’m A Celeb fans in tears as he spoke about his family. The musician never shies away from discussing his sisters, who are ten years younger than he is.

During Friday’s episode of the ITV programme, the musician, 25, recently admitted he was taking part in I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! to raise awareness of Down syndrome. But during a chat with reality star Tom Read Wilson, Aitch revealed his non-identical twin sisters are his “whole heart”.

While showing Tom a picture of his siblings, the Baby hitmaker said: “Can you believe them two are twins? Twins them two!” He went on to add: “Hattie and Gracie, she’s an absolute angel [while pointing at Hattie] and she’s an absolute devil,” as he pointed at Gracie.

Speaking of Gracie, Aitch joked: “She’s a naughty girl. But you could come and spend 10 minutes with her and you’d never forget her for your whole life.” When asked if they were close, he said: “That’s my whole heart, them two.”

In the Bush Telegraph, Tom said: “I think the thing that touched me most today, the most defeating moment, was when Aitch decided to show me his family photo he has here. Everything that he does is with them in mind, and I thought, ‘This boy is truly altruistic and he’s got a heart of gold.”

Fans were quick to take to social media, with one writing: “Aitch is precious #imaceleb.” A second penned: “Aitch is adorable #imaceleb.” “Aitch talking about his sisters, so heartwarming #ImACeleb,” tweeted a third. Meanwhile a fourth penned: “Aitch talking about his sisters,” alongside a clip of somebody in tears.

“Tom is such a sweetie. He was so touched by Aitch showing him his family photo. I hope people give him a chance. #ImACeleb,” wrote another.

Speaking about why he’s taking part in the programme, Aitch said: “On a personal Harrison level, this show is something I grew up watching in our house. It would almost be disrespectful to say ‘no’. Why would I not do it?

“On an Aitch level, I feel like I have got this calling to raise awareness for Down syndrome, and I feel that’s the perfect place. Also, you don’t always want to be stuck in the same world forever. You can branch out and do other things. You don’t have to stick to the code (rap world), because you think that’s cool. I did have to cancel some gigs for it. But you are never going to branch out if you do the same thing all the time.”

Elsewhere in the show, Aitch and his pal Angry Ginge headed to the creek to splash about, while the rapper shared what’s on his mind.

“I’ve got a bit of a soft spot for Shona, me,” he said. Ginge replied: “I think she’s really nice, if that’s what you mean, yeah?” Keeping things low-key, Aitch commented: “Yeah, that’s what I mean…”

Since the scene aired, fans have taken to social media, with one saying: Aitch and Shona have chem… Just saying. #ImACeleb.” A second added: “Aitch and Shona would make a lovely couple! #ImaCeleb.” “#ImACeleb I definitely can see Aitch and Shona together,” penned a third.

“The Aitch and Shona friendship #imaceleb,” tweeted another. Before a sixth went on to pen: “Even aitch feeling the spark we all see with Shona #ImACeleb.”

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! airs daily at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Vogue Williams has confessed that she has had Botox in a bid to stave off the hands of ageing during a discussion with fellow campmate Ruby Wax

I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here’s Vogue Williams may be undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women in the UK, but it seems she too battles insecurities. The 40-year-old TV personality, who is married to Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews, revealed that she was not completely happy with her appearance, and so used Botox to aid her confidence.

Speaking to fellow campmate Ruby Wax, who is known for asking deep and meaningful questions, Vogue told her that she used permanent lip liner in order to aid her appearance.

This comes after Vogue confessed to feeling “so ugly”, while stating that “everyone is so good looking it’s so annoying.” Ruby asked Vogue if she had anything else done, to which Vogue admitted: “Loads of Botox.”

Speaking of her own experience of cosmetic surgery Ruby went on to say to the Bush Telegraph: “I’ve had things removed and things lifted, and I said to Jennifer Saunders once, ‘do you know what’s great? Is that you can’t notice it’, and she said ‘are you kidding? Of course you can.”

Vogue and latecomer Tom Read Wilson arrived later than the other campmates, so you perhaps assume that they may ruffle a few feathers.

But it seems as though the original campmates are pleased with their inclusion. Alex Scott said: “They’ve brought a new energy to the group… I would say that much.”

Alex and Jack Osbourne received the most votes to take on the next trial, which has been named the Dreaded Dunnies’ Bushtucker trial.

Vogue and Tom were allowed to choose who to take on the challenge with, and they opted for Martin Kemp and EastEnders star Shona McGarty.

The task required the celebrities to retrieve a tool from inside their make-shift toilet to start unscrewing the stars. But they were joined by a host of jungle creepy crawlies. The group successfully managed to gain all 12 stars for camp.

As a reward for winning stars during their trial, the celebs were treated to an Ostrich egg for dinner. And in conjunction with that, the group were also allowed popcorn after completing their fishing and shelter tasks.

Prior to entering the camp, admitted she likes the idea of playing the game like a certain hit BBC show. “I would not mind causing a bit of mischief, a bit like Traitors vibes,” she laughs. “I don’t want to annoy anyone, but I think I am very much willing to go along with the game.”

Vogue and Spencer Matthews share son Theodore, six, daughter Gigi, four, and youngest son Otto, three, and it is leaving them that is preying on her mind more than any Bushtucker Trial. “My only real worry is missing the kids and missing Spencer and missing my family,” she said.

“I have done all my Christmas shopping. I have done our food shops for the next four weeks. I have organised everything down to a tee because I kind of do all that stuff at home, so I have got everything organised so I do not have to worry when I get back.” Vogue – whose husband was in the Jungle in 2015 before he was forced to leave over his steroid use – had to think carefully about how much she told the children after agreeing to take part.

“I had to be careful telling my kids, because they have a bigger mouth than me,” she laughed. “I have ignored everybody who has been texting asking if it’s true? I am like, ‘ignore, ignore.’ I showed the kids the last series to get them into it, and they absolutely loved it when people were having an absolute nightmare. So if I get thrown in with rats, that will be their dream.”
