Made to target sleepy skin in need of a wake-up call, the Summer Fridays Jet Lag Eye Patches are formulated to send hydrating signals to the under-eye area, ensuring brighter and smoother under-eyes that aren’t diminished by a late night or long flight.

Infused with texture-refining niacinamide, jojoba oil and a blend of skin-loving fruit extracts, these non-slip hydrogel eye patches help to minimise the look of puffiness and reduce dullness. The duo of Glycerin and Hyaluronic Acid helps lock in hydration, while the blend of Niacinamide, Cucumber Extract, and Panthenol soothes the eye area, and the Caffeine and Peptides help to de-puff and firm the skin.

And the benefits don’t stop there. These patches boast a design that offers sealing benefits for your favourite formulas, such as make-up prep or pamper evenings, so you get better and more noticeable benefits from the rest of your beauty regime.

And it’s not just Frankie who loves these Summer Friday gems, as plenty of Space NK shoppers sing their praises. One thrilled customer shares: “These eye patches are packed with hydrating and soothing ingredients that work wonders on puffiness, dark circles, and dryness. From the moment you put them on, you can feel the cooling effect—it’s like giving your skin a much-needed drink of water. They’re perfect for calming down stressed-out skin after a long flight, an all-nighter, or even just a busy day. “

Another buyer beams: “I really do love Summer Fridays – the jet lag range is just great and these are a real welcome addition. I never really hold out much hope for products like these but gosh they do work! Upon waking after a poor night of sleep, my eyes were looking rough! I put these on for 20 mins and couldn’t believe the difference. My eyes were brighter, way less puffy and they massively softened the tired bags. These will now be a staple in my routine. I’ve tried other patches and like them but i think these are another level. “

A third chimes in: “Onto my second box of these feel so good and can really see the difference after one application will definitely repurchase. “

While the same sentiments are shared by this shopper who says: “Non slip and no irritation my skin looks visibly less crepe after I use these. Great before make-up or special occasion and I can easily walk around getting ready with these on with no issues. I’ve already repurchased and can see these becoming a regular purchase. “

Coleen Nolan has been single since late last year and exclusively reveals what she thinks about dating again, and why she doesn’t want anyone’s ‘toothbrush in her bathroom’ again

Loose Women legend Coleen Nolan has opened up about getting back on the dating scene after splitting up from her ex, Michael Jones, late last year. The TV legend had been dating her ex since 2001, but the pair decided they “would rather just stay friends,” Coleen said, and they went their separate ways.

After the split, Coleen said: “It’s nothing to do with anyone else, it’s nobody’s fault. But I’m really busy and when I’m not really busy with work I’m busy on the farm and I feel personally that I can’t give time to everything. We still get along great and hopefully we can continue to be friends, who knows? “

While she’s still officially single, Coleen said she’d “probably date again”, but was waiting for the right time – and the right person to come along. “The men I meet are either married or gay, so I’ve no hope in the industry I’m in,” she exclusively told OK! . “And I don’t go out to bars, unless they’re serving me a cup of tea. ”

For now, Coleen’s focus is her farm – and 30-odd animals – as well as her new YouTube channel which gives viewers a glimpse of the highs and lows of living on a smallholding. With limited time for dating, Coleen doesn’t rule out signing up to a dating app to find her perfect match.

“Apparently, there’s one that’s aimed at country folk, called Muddy Matches, so that’ll be the one I try when I’m up for it,” she says.

“But whoever I date, I’m not sure I want their toothbrush in my bathroom. I’ve been in relationships my whole life and I’m enjoying having my house to myself, not worrying about anyone else. “

Coleen, who was once married to EastEnders actor Shane Richie, followed by musician Ray Fensome, says she doesn’t’ necessarily miss “sex”, but the odd bit physical affection would be welcome.

“I do miss hugging and kissing, but not necessarily sex. That said, if I meet him and I fancy him, he’s getting it! You can’t beat a good snog and there’s only so many times I can kiss my boxer dog’s crinkly face. ”

Double dating with her Loose Women colleague Ruth Langsford, who separated from her husband Eamonn Holmes last year, is also not currently an option, she added.

“Ruth’s definitely not going on dates yet. I’m trying to force her into it but she’s not having it. And I think she’d be a terrible wingwoman — she’d be too severe and say, ‘No, you’re not right, get away! ’”

Cheryl is rumoured to be joining The Voice as a mentor – and while it could be a successful comeback after years away from the small-screen, it comes after a difficult time for the star

She’s been absent from any television projects for more than five years, but Cheryl Tweedy’s huge TV comeback will be “bittersweet” for the star after the death of her ex, Liam Payne.

The Geordie singer, whose last major TV gig was in 2019, is being tipped to join her longtime pal will.i.am as a mentor on the next series of The Voice UK. And a source told OK! exclusively that, despite everything she’s achieved in her career, a spot on the ITV show is going to be “the biggest role of her life”.

“This is really important for Cheryl,” said the source. “She realised after Liam’s death that you just don’t know what’s around the corner – life isn’t a dress rehearsal. A comeback on a TV show like The Voice has always been at the back of her mind, will.i.am has always wanted her back and Liam’s passing sort of made the decision for her. She wants Bear to see that she’s a strong, successful woman, and to see that life can go on and even be good.”

It was reported last week that the Girls Aloud singer, 42, who is mum to Bear, eight, was in talks to appear on the next series of The Voice UK, due to air early next year, alongside a judging line-up which includes will.i.am, Tom Jones, Danny Jones and Tom Fletcher as a pair, and new recruit Kelly Rowland.

A source told The Sun newspaper that Cheryl was taking “baby steps” in her TV career and was the “obvious choice” to mentor will. i. am’s team when the revived Battle Rounds kick off. “Cheryl and will. i. am first worked together 16 years ago and have remained good friends ever since,” the source said.

Former One Direction singer Liam fell to his death from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires in October, aged 31. He and Cheryl had been in a relationship for two years until 2018 and Cheryl was given the joint responsibility of managing Liam’s £24 million fortune after his death, along with an industry lawyer.

Now that some months have passed since Liam’s death, our source claimed Cheryl is ready to prove to the world – and herself – that she’s still a force to be reckoned with.

“She’s not doing it for the money or for fame, she’s had the most incredible career already. It’s about proving she’s strong and capable after so much heartache, and letting Bear see that too,” they said. “It’s probably going to be the biggest challenge she’s faced but she’s determined to do it – and to do it well. ”

Cheryl’s last big TV gig was as a dance captain on the BBC ’s The Greatest Dancer, before starring in the West End play 2:22 A Ghost Story in 2023.

PR expert Lynn Carratt believes Cheryl’s experience stands her in good stead for a triumphant return, but she needs to be mentally prepared to be back in the spotlight again.

“Let’s not forget, Cheryl’s whole career has been built around music talent shows,” she told new. “She won Popstars: The Rivals with Girls Aloud and worked on The X Factor so she’s been in the same position as the contestants – they’ll really relate to her experience and authenticity in that area.

“But she’s had so much going on, overcoming the death of Liam, looking after Bear and her stalker hell. This could be a good way of easing herself back into the public eye, after months in the wilderness. ”

It might also be “bittersweet” for Cheryl, Lynn says, because one of Liam’s last TV projects was on Netflix ’s Building The Band, which the streaming service is releasing this week. “It’s probably quite nerve-wracking for her too,” Lynn added. “And good that she could be a mentor and not a full-time judge.”

Liam’s death also came just three years after Cheryl lost her Girls Aloud bandmate Sarah Harding, who died two months shy of her 40th birthday from breast cancer. Apart from the Girls Aloud reunion tour with Nadine Coyle, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh, Cheryl has been very much under the radar since then.

Lynn said Cheryl, out of all the bandmates, has always been the most cautious in the spotlight and never particularly revelled in the overnight fame that came off the back of the girls winning Popstars: The Rivals 23 years ago.

“She’ll turn up and do the Girls Aloud tour and she’ll be on TV, but then she’ll go away and you might not see her for a long time,” she said. “She’s very focused now on being a mum to Bear. He’s still young but he’s growing up and since Liam’s death, she’s probably wanted to be there for him a lot more. She’s a single parent now – there’s no escaping that – so she has to pick her jobs carefully.”

Former Made In Chelsea castmate Jessica Woodley opens up about her pregnancy journey – and swapping the show’s dramas for a quiet life in ‘magical’ Ireland with her filmmaker partner

Former Made In Chelsea star Jessica Woodley no longer recognises the version of herself that appeared on the E4 show about London’s exclusive social set a decade ago. Now aged 30, the reality star-turned-sculptor says she’s more self-aware and, as she prepares to become a mother for the first time, feels ‘‘more power as a woman”.

Jessica, who joined the reality series in 2015 — and dated Jamie Laing before quitting in 2017 — revealed last month that she was expecting a baby with her filmmaker partner, Mark Logan. Chatting exclusively to OK! from the Irish countryside they now call home, Jessica explains why life has changed so dramatically for her…

Jessica! Congratulations on your pregnancy. How have you been?

Thank you! My first trimester was tricky, and I am definitely experiencing nausea, even at 28 weeks, but it’s all teaching me newfound resilience. I feel like I’m gaining strength throughout this pregnancy.It can be hard at times, physically and emotionally, but Mark is so supportive. I don’t know if I could do this without him.

Have you always wanted to have kids?

I always hoped to be a mother. I wouldn’t say we were trying to get pregnant, but we were delighted. Pleasantly surprised. From that moment on, I’ve felt quite high.

Have you had any unusual cravings?

Salt and vinegar crisps are getting me through. And I love Medjool dates, they are heaven on earth. I also make masala chai every morning. It really warms my stomach, and actually soothes the nausea. I’m doing yoga and a bit of Pilates. And our dog, Bloom, gets me outside.

What kind of mum do you hope to be?

I’m very aware that this child is going to be my teacher, I really respect that we learn a lot from children. I’m excited by this feeling of nurture — it’s so strong. I worry less now, too, and I used to be such a worrier. I’d come up with hypothetical worries, make up scenarios in my head, and then get scared. I’ve learned how to self-regulate, and I hope that will help me as a mum.

How did you meet Mark? Was there an instant connection?

The second I met Mark, I felt like I remembered him. Like I had met him before, like he was already my best friend. I think I’d been searching for him for quite a long time. We both believe in devotion. So I’ve found love brings you together, but devotion keeps you together. I didn’t see him coming, but I am so glad he’s here.

And how has Mark been throughout your pregnancy so far?

He’s been so supportive and bought me all the salt and vinegar crisps I desire! He’s really cheeky and funny, which has helped me so much. Laughter has helped me and continues to help me. We’re living in Ireland now — initially I was nervous to move to another country, but I find Irish people quite magical, and it just feels right being here.

It’s quite a transformation from your Made In Chelsea days…

You know, I feel very grateful for that period of time because if it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have experienced solitude to the degree I did, and I wouldn’t have looked inside myself as much as I did. I’m really thankful for that time I perceived as difficult, but now I perceive as a gift. I actually don’t recognise myself any more. I’m less ignorant, I am more self-aware, and I have a deeper understanding. I feel much more in my power as a woman than I did then.

Do you keep in touch with any Made In Chelsea cast members?

I speak to Alex Mytton, I think he’s an angel, he’s just fab. And I sometimes speak to Jamie Laing, that’s it. We haven’t spoken since the pregnancy announcement [Jamie and his wife Sophie Habboo recently revealed they are expecting a baby], but I can’t wait to talk to him.

Would you ever do reality TV again?

I wouldn’t say no. If it was in alignment with where I’m at, then yeah, maybe…

How has it been navigating pregnancy at the same time as launching your sculpture collection, Gliffy?

We were really focusing on Gliffy and then I found out I was pregnant, and we were like, “This is actually really beautiful. ” It’s amazing to have these two things that I care about so much come about at the same time. I was slightly nervous about it, because I thought, “Oh, is the timing incorrect? Is this going to get in the way of anything? ” But actually, it’s been the total opposite. I found that they really complement each other, because my collection was kind of about the inner child, and it felt like my baby.

How did your journey into making sculptures start?

I would say I started this journey of self-discovery and self-inquiry in lockdown, because, like a lot of people, I was forced to be alone. I had to figure out what it was that made me happy and made me feel good, and it forced me into solitude.

I found that there was something inside me that was really childlike and playful, and I was suppressing that. I was really lucky to come in contact with an artist, and I was really inspired by the fact that this person was using their imagination to create form in the real world. I was like, “Yeah, I want to try that.” Having to overcome the fear of not knowing what I’m doing and the fear of failure was interesting. That in itself was a journey.

As it looks like Brooklyn Beckham will be a no-show for Harper’s 14th birthday this week, a source explains why his loyalties are split between his family and his wife Nicola Peltz

It’s celebration time again in the Beckham household this week, but one particular member of the once tightknit family is expected not to be joining in the fun. Harper, the youngest of David and Victoria’s children, turns 14 on Thursday and a source claimed that, with talk of the family feud escalating further, Brooklyn is expected to be missing from the Beckhams’ festivities once again.

Talk of tensions between Brooklyn and his wife Nicola Peltz with his mum and dad started in 2022 around the time of Brooklyn and Nicola’s wedding – and there are no signs of it ending any time soon. Brooklyn, 26, spent a recent weekend celebrating the birthday of Nicola’s billionaire dad, who she called “most loving father”, just a few weeks after missing his own dad’s star-studded 50th bash at Notting Hill restaurant, Core.

Our source said that while the family fallout is mainly between Brooklyn and his parents, his younger siblings – including birthday girl Harper – have sadly become collateral damage.

“Harper’s been particularly affected by what’s going on because she’s always been really close to Brooklyn,” claimed the source. “They’ve always had a lovely bond because Brooklyn was that bit older when Harper was born and the hope when Brooklyn married Nicola was that she’d become like a big sister to Harper in a house full of brothers.

“But obviously that hasn’t happened and it’s potentially going to be heartbreaking for Harper if Brooklyn doesn’t show up for her on her birthday. ”

As Brooklyn and his model and actress wife celebrated financier Nelson Peltz’s 83rd birthday with Nicola’s family in Bedford, New York, Victoria, 51, and David, 50, were back at home in the UK.

Nicola, 30, later posted a snap to her social media of herself with her dad and Brooklyn, and wrote a gushing tribute to Nelson which said, “I am so lucky to be your daughter, you’re the most loving and supportive father I could ever dream of… Thank you for always being there for us – our constant love and support. ”

If Brooklyn fails to acknowledge his little sister’s birthday in any significant way, it will become the latest in a string of family events that have so far failed to repair the Beckham rift. After missing David’s pre-birthday celebrations in the Cotswolds and Paris, Brooklyn and Nicola were also absent from his star-studded dinner party at the Michelin-starred west London restaurant.

David was joined by some of his closest showbiz pals, including Tom Cruise, Eva Longoria and Guy Ritchie, and was treated to a performance by son Cruz, 20, on his guitar, while Romeo, 22, was tasked with the job of carrying in David’s cake.

Given that Brooklyn also failed to acknowledge his father’s big milestone on any of his social media channels, our source claimed the chances of him “showing up for Harper” are looking pretty slim.

“A teenage birthday is a big deal for any child and in the past they’ve always tried to do things together as a family,” said the source. “Victoria would like nothing more than for Brooklyn to show up to celebrate with them all, but it’s not looking likely at all.

“He took a stand and missed his dad’s 50th so he’s not likely to suddenly do a U-turn and forget everything that’s happened, as much as he loves Harper. But if he did, it could a much-needed olive branch to start repairing things. An end to the family drama would be the best birthday present Harper – and her parents – could ask for. ”

There’s been plenty of family affection flying around on the Beckhams’ social media channels – just none from Brooklyn directed towards his own parents. He appeared to twist the knife further when he posted a birthday tribute to Nelson, after snubbing his own father’s special day.

Last month, Brooklyn also publicly marked the five-year anniversary of his marriage proposal to Nicola, saying it was his “best decision ever”. Our source claimed it’s becoming increasingly obvious that Brooklyn’s loyalties don’t lie with his parents and siblings, but adds that it isn’t surprising given he is now married.

“He didn’t want it to turn out this way and he’s always been really close to all his siblings, but he is a married man now and his priorities have to lie somewhere else,” said the source.

“He just doesn’t feel his family have treated Nicola well and now that he’s grown so close to her family in the States, he doesn’t really feel like he fits into the Beckham family right now. If Harper’s wish is to have her brother at home for her big day, sadly, she’s probably going to be disappointed. ”

A woman popped into her local charity store and spotted a Gucci bag on display in a glass cabinet alongside some jewellery but was amazed after clocking how much it was being sold for

A woman got lucky after spotting a Gucci bag in a charity shop for an absolute steal. Gucci is a prominent, world renowned, luxury design house founded in Italy in 1921. It offers an array of handbags, clothing and accessories, shoes and even home decoration.

Gucci also boasts a fragrance and cosmetics line under the name Gucci Beauty. Typically, the luxury retailer’s bag prices vary. The brand’s Ophidia mini bag, crafted in beige and white GG Supreme canvas, is currently priced at £610 to purchase directly from its website, for example.

On the higher end of the spectrum, its Diana medium tote bag – which comes in six colours and is constructed in leather – is available for £3,170.

Vintage Gucci bags can be especially expensive, particularly if they’re from a limited edition release or rare. On eBay, a limited edition Gucci Crocodile Bag is available from £24,086.72.

Many bargain hunting fashion lovers turn to charity shops on the hunt for stylish clothing and accessories at a fraction of the cost.

Those looking to make more sustainable fashion choices and avoid buying fast fashion similarly visit charity and secondhand shops when looking to pad out their wardrobes.

There’s plenty of options available which allow people to shop for less while supporting a good cause, or simply snap up some much needed bargains while the cost of living continues to rise.

Discount chain store Goodwill boasts more than 150 outlets across the United States and Canada, where it offers bargain hunters “hundreds of thousands of unique items up for grabs at any given time, including art, books, vinyl records, clothing, home décor, jewellery, musical instruments, sports, toys, and more”.

One woman ventured into her local Goodwill store in northern California and was amazed after spotting a Gucci bag for sale.

It wasn’t on the shop floor with the rest of the items, it was alongside the jewellery in a glass display case which led the woman to deduce “it was real”.

There are many fake copies of designer goods often sold as though they’re the real deal. If you’re buying a designer item from a secondhand source, make sure you have it authenticated before splashing the cash.

The woman shared her Gucci find on Facebook with the caption “Gucci crossbody found at Goodwill today”, where she declared the bag to be a genuine Gucci number after the serial number was checked.

It was on offer for just $49. 99 (£36. 82) but as the woman is a “regular” client, they allowed her to have a slight discount and sold it to her for $44. 99 (£33. 13).
