Davina McCall’s new husband Michael Douglas was back to work as a celebrity stylist after their low-key wedding with family and friends, and took to social media to slate a hotel room he was staying in during an Instagram live.
It emerged on Wednesday that the 58-year-old presenter had married Yorkshireman Michael, 49, on Friday in an intimate ceremony, attended by ‘everyone who is special in their lives’, following the couple’s shock engagement less than three months ago in Ibiza.
But it was straight back to the day job for Michael, as he was working on comedian Miranda Hart’s hair before she appeared on The One Show, before giong to Cambridge for another job where he had to stay overnight.

In the live, he said, “’Hello, this is the 11th advent live on the 11th of December. How are you all? It’s just a quick one tonight, I’m in a hotel room tonight in Cambridge.”
But he admitted, laughing, that he was less than impressed with the accommodation, adding, ‘It’s horrible! I don’t know who designs these hotels these days.”
He explained to fans,”’I am doing hair up here, I have a big job here tomorrow, and I was on The One Show tonight.. I did Miranda Hart’s hair, she was a lovely woman.”
On the live he then began to acknowledge the many messages of congratulations he was getting as he said: ‘Thank you. I forgot yeah! Yes it is all true!’
On her big day, Davina went for a unique white fur-look as she married Michael, dapper in a bright blue suit, in a London ceremony, with pictures showing the sweet moment the pair left Marylebone Town Hall after being declared husband and wife.
On Thursday, Davina praise her ‘lovely’ new husband Michael in a social media post, sharing a video of a poem by Harry Baker, calling it ‘extraordinary’.
It read: ‘It’s not the flowers, it’s the weeding in the mud with you. It’s not the champagne, it’s that cuppa in that favourite mug you use.
‘It’s not the chocolate. OK it is, but not just one or two, it is becoming Bruce Bogtrotter and Augustus Gloop. It’s voting frozen pizza over fancy grub with you. Because some nights, nothing can beat a slice of comfort food.’
The Masked Singer star also reposted Michael’s latest hairdressing video, writing ‘@mdlondon Christmas tips. (Michael u r lovely)’.
It has been a lovely end to a difficult year for the couple, as Davina has battled through surgery for a benign brain tumour, then breast cancer. Indeed, friends of the pair have claimed it was her recent health battles that prompted the couple to put a ring on it.
Davina and Michael had known each other for decades, since Davina’s time as the host of Big Brother. It was only in recent years that a long-standing friendship blossomed into love.
It followed the end of Davina’s 17-year marriage to TV producer Matthew Robertson, the father of her three children Holly, 24, Tilly, 22, and Chester, 19.

The Duchess of Sussex has made a surprise announcement about her upcoming plans with Prince Harry, just hours before her father-in-law is due to deliver his own personal message on TV.
Meghan has had a tumultous couple of weeks, as her latest Netflix Christmas special was aired just before her estranged father Thomas Markle made headlines across the world due to his sudden decline in health. After her dad was sent into emergency surgery to have his leg amputated, it soon emerged that Meghan has reached out to her father by writing him a personal letter.
And now, after issuing a blistering statement about the undoubtedly painful ordeal, Meghan is back on Instagram with some news about her latest work project. She revealed that she and her husband Harry are executive producing a new documentary about Girls Scouts selling cookies. The programme is set to be shown at the Sundance Film Festival.

The documentary, directed by Alysa Nahmias, follows “four tenacious girls (who) strive to be a top-selling ‘Cookie Queen’, navigating an 800 million dollar business in which childhood and ambition collide”, the festival programme states.
Announcing the project on social media, Meghan said she has a “personal affinity” for the film, having been a Girl Scout herself, adding that the opportunity was “irresistable”. She said: “As a former girl scout myself, with my mom as my troop leader, I have a personal affinity for this film and am proud that all our conversations and collaboration have led to Archewell Productions partnering with this award-winning team to executive produce this incredibly captivating documentary.
“When we first viewed the early footage of this documentary, it was immediately something we wanted to be involved in. The creative point of view, the edgy yet humanising tone and tenor of the directing, and the glimpse behind-the-scenes into such a nostalgic and also modern tradition of girl scout cookie season are absolutely irresistible.”
She accompanied the message with a never-before-seen photo of her as a child with her mother, Doria. A young Meghan is seen with one arm wrapped around her friend and holding her mum’s arm with the other, as they posed with other Girl Scouts in LA.

The social media post came just as it was announced that Charles has filmed a ‘personal message’ about his cancer diagnosis and recovery, which will be shown in an unprecedented broadcast today. The pre-recorded video has been filmed as part of Stand Up To Cancer 2025 campaign, in a joint project between Cancer Research UK and Channel 4.
Launched on 5th December, the week-long campaign aims to drive awareness of the importance of early diagnosis and raises funding for cancer research and supports all those affected by the illness. The King’s message will form part of Channel 4’s flagship night of programmes and will be aired at 8pm, shortly before a unique live broadcast from a cancer clinic at Addenbrooke’s Hospital in Cambridge, presented by Davina McCall.
The trailer for Charli XCX’s upcoming mockumentary has finally dropped and fans have already shared their verdict but Kylie Jenner, who’s set to make her acting debut in it, wasn’t so keen

Charli XCX fans have already shared their verdict on her upcoming film release after watching the full trailer.
A24 unveiled a brand new trailer, after a teaser version sent fans into a frenzy last month. The movie, titled The Moment, is a mockumentary led by the Grammy Award winner, who plays a meta version of herself. The synopsis reads: “A rising pop star navigates the complexities of fame and industry pressure while preparing for her arena tour debut.”
The Moment will have its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival next month, and it’ll land in cinemas on January 30 2026.
The star-studded cast is made up of rising stars, like Rachel Sennott, Rosanna Arquette, Hailey Benton Gates, Kate Berlant, Jaime Demetriou, Kylie Jenner, Isaac Powell, and Alexander Skarsgård.

In the full trailer, a fictional version of Charli grapples with fame and the demands of the industry while prepping for an arena tour.
Fans shared their predictions for the movie, with one writing: “Obviously I’m biased but I truly believe this actually looks like a really really good film??? I’m worried people might be put off of it because of it being about Charli (and them thinking its pointless if they’re not a fan) – but the storyline and whole premise does actually look really entertaining.
“I cannot wait; I just hope they do a full UK cinema roll out,” they added.
A second put: “Wow, this looks so good. It’s so meta that it’s making me question the intent of the whole Brat cycle. Brain fried.”
“This looks even better than I expected – I’m so excited!!!” a third chimed in.
In October, she explained that the idea was born from the pressure she faced from her label to film a documentary of the making of her iconic Brat album and tour.
Charli told Vanity Fair at the time: “It’s not a tour documentary or a concert film in any way, but the seed of the idea was conceived from this idea of being pressured to make one. It’s fiction, but it’s the realest depiction of the music industry that I’ve ever seen.”
In it, Kylie Jenner makes a short cameo – and an acting debut – telling the 360 hitmaker: “The second people are getting sick of you, that’s when you need to go even harder.”

In November, Kylie revealed she was “so scared” to actually do it, despite her role being “a very small part”.
“I mean, I had a lot of lines, but I was just so afraid,” she said on her sister Khloe Kardashian’s podcast. “I think I used to do a lot more things out of my comfort zone, and now I’m used to being very sheltered, staying in like a, you know, safe box for me.”

Whether it’s for brisk, winter strolls through muddy fields or a bit of gardening, a dependable pair of wellies is essential for the UK’s chillier months. One place shoppers might not consider is Tu, Sainsbury’s clothing brand, which is currently offering a charming pair of Morris & Co. navy pimpernel print wellies for just £17.60, reduced from £22.
However, clever shoppers have discovered a way to get them for almost nothing. By signing up to TopCashback using this link, you can snag the Tu x Morris & Co. pimpernel wellies for only £1.87 after cashback, thanks to a £15 welcome reward.

Existing TopCashback customers can also enjoy a small discount, with the wellies costing £16.87 after cashback. Standing out from the typical plain green or black, these wellies are adorned with an all-over Pimpernel print, a complex floral design crafted by renowned artist and writer William Morris in 1876.
This navy version of the pattern layers its delicate namesake flowers with swirling blue foliage and pale ruffled poppies for a stunning heritage look in signature Morris style. The wellies end around halfway up the shin, offering plenty of protection from long, wet grass or deeper puddles.
They also feature an adjustable buckle detail at the top, allowing wearers to adjust the fit, and available sizes range from 4 to 7 – sizes 3 and 8 are currently sold out.
For those seeking a classic and understated look, Next offers Pavers black warm lined wellies for £30. These boots echo the design of traditional riding boots, featuring a matte black finish, buckle detail, and a raised heel.
For shoppers with a larger budget, M&S stocks shearling insulated short Wellington boots from Hunter, a brand practically synonymous with wellies, priced at £105. These boots are perfect for chillier days with their cosy lining, while the textured sole provides extra grip on slippery surfaces, reports the Express.
Returning to the Tu x Morris & Co. wellies, one customer left a glowing review on the Sainsbury’s website, stating: “These wellies are really good quality with a lovely print on them.”
Others took to Trustpilot to express their opinions on the retailer, with one reviewer saying as part of a longer review: “I love supermarket clothes. I think supermarkets are really nailing trends with pretty decent quality and great prices!”.
Another customer shared their positive experience: “Delighted with the recent order, it came really quickly and on time. The ordering process was very easy too.”
However, one shopper expressed disappointment, commenting: “Good discount on a promo offer, however I was not able to exchange for a bigger size in-store as I bought online. I was told I need to refund and then buy again, meaning I would miss out on the discount I originally got.”
Others praised the delivery speed to their local Sainsbury’s, with one customer stating: “Easy to order, and collection in-store was simple. Only negative was that it was several days before it was available to collect.”
Here’s how you can snag the Morris & Co wellies from Tu for a mere £1.87:

As Bonnie Blue’s Bali saga continues, two experts have weighed in on the controversial adult star’s holiday from hell, warning she is now ‘losing control’
View 11 Images
Bonnie appeared in court today(Image: AFP via Getty Images)
Bonnie Blue’s fate has finally been sealed after her Bali ‘Bang Bus’ tour landed her in a jail cell – and now the true motive behind her troubling trip has been revealed.
Although she was released from jail following her arrest on suspicion of breaking ‘morality’ laws in Bali, Bonnie had her passport seized and today appeared in court over the purchase of her blue ‘Bang Bus’ truck, due to its lack of vehicle registration.
Just minutes before officials ruled she would be deported over the saga, she allegedly quipped to the press pack outside court: “Usually I have other things in my face.”
Bonnie is allegedly set due to be deported on Friday night after a court issued her with a £9 fine after breaching traffic laws and ordered her to leave the country within 48 hours by immigration officials
The controversial star has allegedly been ‘blacklisted’ from returning for at least a decade, and while many Brits would be alarmed to find themselves facing punishment overseas, Bonnie, who is known for performing extreme sex stunts, appears to have taken a more light-hearted approach.
The 26-year-old could be seen grinning in photos following her arrest, and was even heard making jokes about subscribing to her content, despite having just been faced with potentially grave prison time. And it’s believed this startling reaction could all be part of her continuous ploy to generate outrage.
READ MORE: Bonnie breaks silence on Bali arrest with dark plea as she learns her punishment
Criminologist Alex Iszatt told the Mirror: “Bonnie Blue’s operation thrives on a simple, relentless formula: all attention is fuel. Each public complaint, news cycle, and social media debate actively amplifies he brand. Even legal issues are repurposed as promotional material, whether deflecting accountability or, as in Bali, directly instructing an audience to ‘subscribe and find out’.”
“Her quip that ‘people are so stupid’ is less a boast than a diagnosis of her method; she understands that public fascination and outrage are two sides of the same coin in the real-life soap opera she scripts, and she has proven clever enough to dance along the line of the law without decisively crossing it.”
Meanwhile, offering her personal branding expertise, PR to the stars, Mayah Riaz told us: “From a PR point of view, Bonnie’s decision to take her brand of shock content to Bali feels like someone playing with fireworks and acting surprised when they go off.
“She knows exactly what she is doing. Bali’s strict laws are no secret, which is why this looks less like an accident and more like calculated chaos. For someone whose entire career is built on outrage, the risk was part of the performance. In her world, scandal is not a setback; she uses it as a sales tool.”
Last Thursday (December 4), Nottinghamshire-born Bonnie, real name Tia Billinger, was hauled into custody in Bali on suspicion of breaking strict ‘morality’ laws, alongside 17 male tourists from Australia and the UK, between the ages of 19 and 40. This came after locals told police that she’d hired a truck to travel around the island, with the intention of filming explicit content with “barely legal” students.
Bonnie, who infamously claims to have slept with more than 1,000 men in a 12-hour period, has repeatedly faced fierce criticism for boasting about having sex with university students, leading some to brand her a “predator”.
She was previously banned from Australia following her ‘Schoolies’ campaign, which saw her target newly graduated 18-year-old boys in Australia, enjoying a week of partying after graduating from school. She is also now banned from Fiji.
After landing in Bali, Bonnie, who has long used ‘rage bait’ as a promotional tactic, took to social media, writing: “Hey boys, those that are going to Schoolies and to those who are barely legal, cannot wait to meet you and I’m in Bali, so you know exactly what that means.”
It was alleged that Bonnie had sourced a van locally as part of her ‘Bang Bus’ campaign, hoping to attract the Australian students, celebrating their graduations on the picturesque holiday island. Speaking anonymously with Aussie outlet News.com.au, one local revealed that Bali police initially couldn’t “comprehend” what they were being told when they were informed about Bonnie’s antics.
They said: “The business community doesn’t want it, the expat community doesn’t want it, and the local community can’t even comprehend it. We don’t want Bonnie Blue’s Gang Bang from Bali being posted and shared around the world.”
These recent allegations could have had serious consequences for Bonnie. As a Muslim-majority country, Indonesia enforces very strict legislation on the distribution, production or public display of adult content, and the star was potentially facing up to 15 years’ imprisonment and a fine of about £270,000 if convicted of pornography offences.
Warning that Bonnie’s confident approach could well still backfire, Alex noted: “Bali was a perfect stage for this performance. While Indonesia enforces some of the world’s strictest laws, Bali itself is a notorious tourist enclave with a thriving underground scene, offering both willing participants.
“The resulting national outrage was precisely the intended effect, and her only ‘crimes’ were administrative: insurance and traffic violations for the bus, and a visa misuse allegation. Police reported finding no pornography, suggesting a deliberate strategy of plausible deniability. Although there may be a flaw in her approach, as the Indonesian state isn’t her usual audience, and it could very well impose definitive consequences just to make a point.”
Similarly, PR guru Mayah remarked that Bonnie could well be in danger of “losing control” over her own narrative, as she navigates unfamiliar territory. According to Mayah: “What makes this situation different is that she is not in control of the narrative like she normally is. Local authorities are. Once a performer like her loses control of the story, the shock factor starts to look less clever and more dangerous. This is a reminder that rage bait might get clicks, but it cannot outrun the law.”
Following the arrests, law enforcement discovered various items in Bonnie’s rented studio in Badung, including several cameras, 19 outfits labelled ‘School Bonnie Blue’, lubricant, a box of condoms, flash drives, and two sheets of Viagra pills – some used. They also found her ‘Bang Bus’ van alongside the ownership certificate.
However, it was subsequently confirmed that officials found no evidence of pornographic content, meaning Bonnie and three other men have escaped serious convictions. Aiptu Ni Nyoman Ayu Inastuti, Acting Head of the Public Relations Sub-Division of the Badung Police, said: “When they were raided, they were making collab content about a game where the winner would sleep with Bonnie Blue. No pornographic activities or acts have been found in the collaborative content.”
It’s been reported that 14 out of the 17 tourists who were arrested were released without charge, while Bonnie and three other men remained under investigation. These four remaining arrestees were eventually freed, but first faced two days of questioning by immigration, during which time their passports were seized.
On Wednesday, December 10, while entering the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office in Jimbaran, south of Kuta, Bonnie was quizzed as to whether she intended to make more explicit content during her time in Bali. Apparently untroubled by her brush with the law, Bonnie teasingly responded: “Subscribe and you’ll find out.” However, when pressed about whether she would soon be flying home, the divisive content creator remained schtum.
As explained by Alex, this sort of behaviour is all an exercise in myth-making on Bonnie’s part. She said: “Her reaction in custody shows who she is; her brand. The smiling mugshot and jokes about subscriptions were not signs of defiance but evidence of the entire legal process being treated as raw content. Her existence is built on rage bait; she knows precisely what provokes complaint, and each complaint extends her reach. Thus, the arrest provided powerful imagery to repurpose, and the deportation will be curated into the next chapter of her personal myth.”
Mayah too agrees that Bonnie is “trying to turn a courtroom into a content studio”, telling us: “The grinning photos and jokes about subscribing to her content while facing possible prison time are classic Bonnie. It is the same formula she always uses: turn every serious moment into a spectacle and keep the spotlight glued on her.”
However, even though she’s dodged a lengthy prison sentence, there could be further tribulations in store for Bonnie. At a press conference held yesterday (Thursday, December 11), outside the Ngurah Rai Immigration Office, Immigration chief Heru Winarko confirmed Bonnie had breached her travel visa privileges and would therefore be deported, reports Australia’s Daily Telegraph.
Mr Winarko stated: “They have misused the visa they have to make content in Bali. They will be black-listed from entering Indonesia for at least 10 years (that) could be extended. Once police has finished with the investigation, after that we will deport them and put them (on) the blacklist.” During this same conference, as reported by local publication detikBali, Badung Police told members of the press that Bonnie and the three other men are now facing trial over the purchase of her blue “Bang bus”, which allegedly doesn’t have vehicle registration.
The adult star has built a career on courting controversy, but could these latest alleged escapades be a step too far, even for her? Considering the impact this could have on her platform going forward, Mayah mused: “Will this boost her career? In the short term, I would say yes it would. This is because controversy is her currency. But long-term, this is the kind of international incident that can stain a brand permanently. There is a fine line between being provocative and being reckless, and she is sprinting over it.”
Meanwhile, Alex has issued a stark warning, as Bonnie reaches a new “frontier”: “The question becomes what next? Escalation is the backbone of her brand. After orchestrating a confrontation with a strict foreign legal system, facing arrest, detention, and potential prison, the logic of her model demands a higher-stakes spectacle. She is approaching a frontier where the consequences may be of a severity that cannot be spun into content, where the material world finally and decisively overwhelms the narrative.”
Shedding light on Bonnie’s “strategy”, Alex also picked up on what she describes as “a complex and reinforced behavioural pattern”. Alex continued: “What she calls empowerment is a flawed interpretation, shaped by a history where shock was reinforced giving her the attention and excitement she craved, and to get more she needed to escalate. She presents narcissistic tendencies such as grandiosity, narrative control and a habitual dismissal of consequences.
“Whether she experiences sexual enjoyment in a traditional sense is almost irrelevant because her behaviour suggests she is far more invested in the power and control that comes from using sex as a public spectacle. For her, the psychological thrill lies in the reaction it produces and the way that reaction keeps her at the centre of the frame.”

The Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen has revealed for the first time the true toll of her split from husband Clive that saw them both fearing for her life.
In a new interview Amanda recalls her darkest days after the pair called time on their marriage after 22 years. Amanda, who is mum to their nine children, reveals she suffered an eating disorder from which she is only now emerging.
Amanda says the disorder was part of a ‘cataclysmic’ breakdown she endured after splitting with Clive and embarking on a new short-lived new relationship with web designer Rob Davies, 72.
‘I just shut down.” Amanda tells the Daily Mail. “Physical and mental health are intertwined and anxiety, depression, paranoia, agoraphobia and an eating disorder were all smooshed into one.’
Amanda said she always had issues with food and eating – which was amplified by her nine pregnancies.
“The children witnessed it all. It has taught them resilience. It’s a weird sort of double life. You have moments of extreme strength, of feeling belligerent and spiky, then times when you feel the rug has been pulled from under you.
“I was back and forth to the hospital, to the doctors; it was a critical time and we were also doing the renovation at Anty John’s [the property that features in Our Farm Next Door].”
Clive said there were nights he feared he would not see Amanda the next morning.
Amanda says: “One Valentine’s night I went outside in the dark and something happened in my throat and I was throwing up blood. It was awful. The eating disorder has always bubbled up beneath the surface but I never imagined it would happen to that degree. Clive, in his basic, simplistic way said: “Why don’t you just eat summat?” There were a couple of times when I went out gathering [sheep] and I just flaked out. They had to come and get me.”
Amanda said it was a comfort to know that Clive would always have her back despite their separation.
“We can split up, shout the farm down, but we’ll always be there for each other,” said Clive.
