The businesswoman became a breakout star of Netflix’s reality show Members Only Palm Beach

View 3 Images

Drama-filled reality series Members Only Palm Beach debuted on Netflix back in December, introducing viewers to five wealthy woman seeking power and influence in one of the world’s most exclusive postcodes.

Society veteran Gale Brophy has proven to be one of the show’s breakout stars since its release despite her role as a supporting figure. Throughout the episodes she is shown mentoring one of the main cast members, Rosalyn Yellin, in how to be a successful socialite.

She finds herself at the centre of her fair share of spats, including with property developer Hilary Musser who questions how authentic the Palm Beach ‘Grande Dame’ really is. It prompts Gale to confront her with a stack of magazine articles about herself, including some in which she graces the cover.

However, it appears the drama depicted on screen has been spilling over into real-life, with Gale taking to Instagram to issue a lengthy statement following reports of a feud with her co-star, Taja Abitbol.

The alleged beef reportedly began after Taja had Gale “removed” from her party promoting their new Netflix show. Meanwhile Gale alleged that she had been handled “roughly” on her way out and shut down speculation that she had been “intoxicated” at the event.

Now the businesswoman has declared that she will not be fuelling any further reports of a beef with Taja in a lengthy Instagram statement. She began: “Since the Members Only: Palm Beach premiere on Netflix, there’s been a lot of press — and not just about the show itself.

“What I want to clarify is this: the narrative changed, and it wasn’t changed by me. Multiple media outlets and eyewitnesses have reported that what was first suggested publicly did not align with what actually happened. That’s why the story has continued to evolve.”

She continued: “Several reports have described the situation as a rookie mistake — an attempt to ice someone out of press and filming when attention wasn’t landing where expected. Commentators and witnesses have openly questioned whether jealousy played a role, noting that the move ultimately backfired, creating the opposite impression of what was intended.

“I didn’t come to compete for attention. I showed up as myself — calm, respectful, and gracious. The cameras followed on their own. The press followed the facts. And the images spoke louder than any statement.

“I won’t engage in name-calling or drama. I don’t need to. When the coverage, photos, and firsthand accounts all point in the same direction, the truth tends to reveal itself — and the public decides.

“I’ll continue moving forward with dignity, letting my character speak louder than controversy.”

Away from her reality TV career, Gale is the CEO and owner of a property company, running two five-star estates which are billed as an alternative getaway to The Hamptons. Before this, she held top positions in a number of lucrative businesses in the worlds of finance, PR and especially horse racing.

Richard Keys seemed to be unaffected by any anger he’d caused as he was seen for first time since controversial comments about Gabby Logan’s late father

View 6 Images

Richard Keys seemed to be happily ignoring the furore as he was seen for the first time on Tuesday morning after his controversial comments in a tribute to Gabby Logan’s late father caused huge upset.

The former Sky Sports reporter was smiling broadly and in high spirits as he left a breakfast at London’s Claridge’s Hotel with GB News broadcaster Eamonn Holmes – just days after furious fellow presenter Laura Woods branded him a “twat”.

Eamonn also looked to be in a good mood after the lunch, as he was seen grinning before making his exit helped by staff at the Mayfair restaurant and the use of his frame. The presenter is standing by his pal after Keys caused a furore after his comments in relation to the death of Logan’s father Terry Yorath last week.

Welsh football icon and Leeds United legend Tery passed away aged 75, his death following a short illness confirmed on Thursday morning.

In response to the sad news, his daughter Gabby was forced to leave Match of the Day mid-broadcast on Wednesday evening for a ‘’family emergency”. Joining the wave of tributes after the loss was reported, Keys wrote on X: “Sad to hear the news of Terry Yorath’s passing. He was a warrior & won fans over wherever he played.”

“He was great for us at Coventry & the reason I got Gabby a job at Sky. I had no idea who she was when we met, but I knew her dad. RIP Terry. Your daughter did you proud.”

Some felt the BeIN Sports broadcaster’s choice of words were insensitive and a deliberate dig at Gabby – including TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods, who responded, “Sorry… but what a t**t. Said with zero surprise.”

She added: “Also want to add my respects to the thousands of others who are showing theirs compassionately to a much beloved broadcaster and her family. Sending all my love x.”

Former BBC Sport presenter Dan Walker also urged Keys to change his tribute, posting: “Richard, just imagine what it would be like for Gabby, or a member of her family, to read this. I’m hoping you have just worded this badly and it isn’t a dig at a really difficult time. There is still time to change it.”

Later addressing his comments on X, Keys wrote: “What a shame my words for a footballing hero of mine were entirely misinterpreted. Terry Yorath was a fabulous guy. A warrior. My affection for him meant I was more than happy to help him & his family in any way I could. Gabby’s career would make any father proud. RIP Terry.”

Yet Key’s post is just the latest episode in a rocky relationship with Logan. Back in 2022 he threatened Logan with “libel action” after she wrote about an encounter with him and former Sky Sports pundit Andy Gray in her memoir, The First Half.

In the tome, she claimed Keys and Gray made “cruel” comments around her during a flight in 2005.

She wrote: “Even years after I’d left Sky, it appeared I was still fair game for Gray and Keys. I sat a row behind them on a flight to Istanbul for the Champions League Final in 2005, which I was covering for ITV. I was seven months pregnant with twins, and I was huge. I looked like I’d swallowed a space hopper.”

Logan’s family shared a heartfelt joint statement following the announcement of his death on Thursday, Logan later offering her own personal tribute on social media. “Rest in Peace Dad, our hearts are broken, your love and legacy lives on.”

His sports presenter daughter added later that evening: “Thank you for your messages of love and support today, it has meant the world to us. Our Dad a warrior on the football pitch, captaining club and country, a kind hearted and generous man off it, would have hated all the attention. (Well most of it).

“The stories that have been shared by strangers with us today have been enormously comforting. He touched so many people’s lives.

“We knew he had limited time, but it is still a shock. Yesterday afternoon I sat by his bed in St James Hospital Leeds and we had a debate about whether roast potatoes were better with calves liver than mash potatoes.

“That was the meal he’d decided he wanted when he went home, tomorrow. I left and went to work, he was looking forward to watching Newcastle v his beloved Leeds. He won’t go home tomorrow. But he is reunited with Daniel and that will feel like home.”

It’s not just with Logan that Keys has caused controversy in the past. In 2024, Jamie Redknapp also found himself in the firing line, as the sports pundit took aim at him, not for the first time, in a savage social media post.

Once colleagues, before Keys was sacked by Sky sports in 2011 after derogatory comments were aired, in the post last year, Keys made it clear after bumping into Redknapp that there was still bad blood between the pair.

Keys said on social media: “What a day for bumping into unpalatable people. I just saw Jamie Redknapp. Happily I needed a No2 which was much more pleasant than stopping to talk.”

The pundit also sparked controversy in 2023 when he married Lucie Rose, a woman reported to be a friend of his daughter, Jemma, following the demise of his 36-year marriage to his first wife, Julia – though that she was his daughter’s friend is something Keys has always denied.

The relationship ruffled feathers, particularly as it emerged while his ex-wife was battling cancer, and their wedding in June 2023 was attended by few family members, with his children notably absent.

Emmerdale legend Danny Miller has jokingly shared his axe fears after leaking his character Aaron Dingle’s “new look”.

The actor shot to fame playing Aaron, making his debut in 2008. Since then, he’s become a firm favourite with fans and has been involved in several big moments.

From his romance with Robert Sugden (Ryan Hawley) to being involved in the recent epic Corriedale episode, Aaron’s time on the soap has not been short of drama.

And recently, actor Danny gave fans a sneak peek at Aaron’s new smarter look for 2026 – but Danny quickly followed up with a post to clear things up “in fear of losing my job”.

Taking to his Instagram Story on Tuesday (January 13) Danny shared a video of himself in his Emmerdale dressing room. Standing in front of a mirror, he said: “So this year I said it’s a new year, it’s a new me. Therefore, it’s a new Aaron as well.

“So costume said ‘Well, can we try something with you?’ and I said ‘Yeah let’s do it’. And they said ‘Do you fancy a new smarter Aaron, still in black of course’. And their response was this.”

Danny then turned the camera around to show himself wearing a black high-neck jumper and a quilted bomber jacket. He quipped: “It’s not a turtle neck. I’m assured it’s not a turtle neck.”

Danny then joked: “I suppose you could call it a ‘turneck’ and a ‘tulneck’.” Referring to his outfit, Danny added: “You can catch this live on ITV and ITVX sometime in February. But anyway do you like it?”

However, in the next Instagram Story Danny set things straight. Walking to the soap’s set he told his followers: “Just in fear of losing my job, I’d thought I’d better tell you it’s not live, just a disclaimer.”

Then talking about Aaron’s new look, he said: “It’s not a turtle neck, I’ve got a turteneck on it. It’s half a turtle for those who didn’t get the joke. I’m on the way to the studio and I’m excited to show everyone the new Aaron,” before quipping: “Nobody will notice and nobody will care.”

The Traitors: Uncloaked star Ed Gamble has opened up about his seven stone weight loss but admits he finds it tougher in one aspect being a lower weight

A star of The Traitors has opened up about their huge seven stone weight loss. The Traitors spin-off host Ed Gamble looks unrecognisable in photos taken before his huge transformation.

The Uncloaked presenter admitted he gained weight when he was younger and at his heaviest, he weighed 19 stone. Since then, he has slimmed down to 12 stone but admits it has come at a cost for him.

Speaking about his weight loss and health, he explained: “I was living so unhealthily I felt dreadful all the time. I wasn’t completely ignoring that I was type 1, but I was doing the bare minimum to stay alive.”

He added in a separate interview: “I went through a stage of binge eating and drinking, not really focusing on what I was doing to my body and my diabetes suffered as a result of that. Now, I have a much better quality of life because I’m more focused on my diabetes. Yes, it’s more work, but I feel a lot better about it.”

Ed has since turned to marathons and says the exercise and weight loss has helped to stabilise his diabetes.

“I thought, weight loss will be a good opportunity to try and get on top of the diabetes, however intimidating and overwhelming it seems. I’ve never looked back from that point,” he explained.

However, his change in weight has come at an emotional cost for Ed and he admits he feels more self-conscious than he ever did. He shared: “I don’t know where this thing came from where people think they’re allowed to comment on people’s bodies and weight. It’s really depressing if you’re on the other end of it.

“People’s reactions to the way people’s bodies change is absolutely insane sometimes. It’s best to just shut up. When I was bigger, I really didn’t care about my weight, as soon as I lost weight, that’s when I started to worry about how I looked. As soon as people started to say I looked nice, that’s when I started to worry.”

Admitting there is pressure on men to look a certain way, he added: “Within my lifetime, the ideal body shape for men has gone from skinny waif, noughties indie man to now, gigantic men. It’s all about putting as much weight and muscle as possible.”

Six years ago today, the infamous ‘Sandringham Summit’ took place as senior members of the Firm were summoned by the late Queen to discuss Harry and Meghan’s exit from the Royal Family

Six years ago today, senior members of the Firm were summoned to Sandringham by the late Queen Elizabeth to discuss the bombshell announcement made by Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that they would be quitting their royal duties.

On January 13 2020, the late monarch, the then-Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry gathered at the Norfolk estate, with the meeting being dubbed the ‘Sandringham Summit’, to discuss how the Royal Family would move forward after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s bombshell statement. Despite the gravity of the situation, Meghan Markle was not present at the meeting for one major reason.

Harry flew back to Britain from Canada alone with Meghan left some 5,000 miles away on Vancouver Island, where the couple had spent Christmas with Prince Archie and Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland.

At the time, it was reported that the Sussexes decided that it “wasn’t necessary for the duchess to join” via telephone. But according to the Daily Mail’s Richard Kay, there was a specific reason as to why there was no open line to Meghan in Canada.

He said: “According to palace officials, such an idea was rejected because no one knew for sure who else might have been listening in. This was a highly confidential family discussion, not a conference call,’ says one insider.”

The Sussexes opened up about the Sandringham Summit in their 2022 Netflix docuseries, as Meghan spoke of her outrage at not being at the meeting. She explained: “Imagine a conversation, a roundtable discussion about the future of your life. When the stakes are this high.

“And you as the mom and the wife and the target, in many regards, aren’t invited to have a seat at the table.” Harry then added: “It was clear to me that they planned out so that you weren’t in the room.”

The meeting at Sandringham took place just three days after Harry and Meghan’s bombshell announcement. There were just four people in attendance, as the late Prince Philip decided not to take part.

He had quietly left the house before Harry’s arrival, as royal expert Richard Kay explained at the time: “Just how strategic this departure was, was not immediately clear. But the fact he left more than an hour and a half before the Duke of Sussex arrived was seen as significant. At 98, he no longer lays down the law as he once did and some courtiers wonder if this was his way of saying ‘this is not my fight’.

“It may also be that by making himself absent he could not be drawn into a situation where the mantra which governed his attitude to royal life – ‘you are either in the family or out’ – was being tested by Harry and Meghan’s wish to be part-time royals.”

Following the summit, the late Queen Elizabeth issued a highly personal message to explain the changes in the Royal Family to the public. The statement read: “Today my family had very constructive discussions on the future of my grandson and his family. My family and I are entirely supportive of Harry and Meghan’s desire to create a new life as a young family.

“Although we would have preferred them to remain full-time working members of the Royal Family, we respect and understand their wish to live a more independent life as a family while remaining a valued part of my family. Harry and Meghan have made clear that they do not want to be reliant on public funds in their new lives. It has therefore been agreed that there will be a period of transition in which the Sussexes will spend time in Canada and the UK.”

She concluded: “These are complex matters for my family to resolve, and there is some more work to be done, but I have asked for final decisions to be reached in the coming days.”

Pete Wicks was knocked unconscious after suffering a terrifying fall. The former TOWIE star was forced to stay in his house for a week after smashing his head on a coffee table.

He woke up to his dog licking his face and a wax burn on his eye, which left his face “swollen and pink”. Explaining the scary incident to his friend Sam Thompson on their Staying Relevant podcast, Pete said: “I smashed my head on the coffee table, no it gets worse.

“Unconscious I woke up with Eric licking my face… I had candles on the coffee table and had a wax burn across all my eye.

“I had taken the skin off all my eyelid and under my eye. That was Christmas day, so I didn’t leave the house from Christmas day until New Year’s Eve, because my face was quite swollen and pink.”

Sam recently opened up about his own health woes, explaining his plans to have surgery which will leave him unable to talk.

He said: “I’ve got a cyst on my vocal cords. I’m having that taken out, which is going to be mad because it means I have three days of vocal rest.”

According to the NHS, the nodules are non-malignant, small swellings. The organisation says they arise on the edges of the vocal cords, which are situated in the voice box. They are often formed when the vocal cords come together with too great a force over a long period of time.

It remains to be seen whether Sam’s new girlfriend will be by his side throughout the procedure. He had earlier confessed his relationship update to pal Pete on an edition of the podcast.

He gushed: “I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!” And he admitted: “You know, I wouldn’t be dating someone this amount of time if I didn’t think it had legs to last.”

Sam and Talitha Balinska went public with their relationship in 2025 and spent Christmas together.

But he was forced to shut any rumours of trouble in his relationship just days after he shared a cryptic post that left some fans worried.

The couple spent their first Christmas together with Sam’s family, but a photo he shared on Instagram at the beginning of January seemed to suggest that there might be some problems.

In the image, Sam was seen cuddling his cat on a sofa. He captioned the image: “Starting 2026 as I mean to go on.” The fact that Sam was alone with his cat in the photo sparked speculation that he was single – however, he has now put those rumours to rest with a new snap on social media.

But Sam later took to his Instagram stories to share a selfie of him and Talitha. He was all smiles in the photo, and added a heart emoji. Following months of courtship, Sam revealed at the start of December that he and Talitha had become “official”.

Chatting to his best mate Pete Wicks on their Staying Relevant podcast, Sam confirmed they had taken their romance to the next stage. He declared: “I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!”

Sam’s new relationship is the first since he split up from his previous girlfriend Zara McDermott, who is now dating former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
