Need to be aware

Piers Morgan, a former Good Morning Britain presenter, is recovering in a hospital and has blamed Donald Trump for sharing a photo with him from a hospital bed following an accident.

Piers Morgan, 60, announced to his fans that he had a fracture to his femur in a photo posted to his social media account from the hospital.

Everything you need to know about the causes

  • Piers Morgan, 60, shared a picture to his social media from the hospital and told fans that he had fractured his femur so badly, he required a hip replacement.
  • The former Good Morning Britain host explained he had tripped while at a restaurant and would have to use crutches to aid his mobility for several weeks. He’s also not allowed to take long-haul flights for the next three months and in a rather unexpected twist, placed the blame on his long-term friend, President Donald Trump.
  • Piers shared a photo from a hospital bed, as well as a close up snap of his X-ray, and said: “Breaking news! 1. Tripped on a small step. 2. In a London hotel restaurant. 3. Fractured femur. 4. So badly I needed a new hip. 5. Recovering in hospital. 6. Crutches for 6wks [sic]. 7. No long-haul for 12 wks [sic]. 8. New Year off to a cracking start! 9. I blame Donald Trump.”
  • Eamonn Holmes, former England cricketer Monty Panesar, Loose Woman Katie Piper, and other well-known people emailed well wishes in a hurry.
  • Piers and Donald Trump share a relationship that began when they were first friends and he was blamed for it almost 20 years later in The Celebrity Apprentice 2008, which Trump presided over at the time. Trump told him, “Piers, you were tactless, ruthless, aggressive, hard, possibly brilliant, you knocked them all out one by one – you win.” Piers eventually won in the end, with Trump saying, “You were tactless, ruthless, aggressive, hard, possibly brilliant, you knocked them all out one by one. Piers has previously claimed that because of their similarity, they can’t get along.
  • The shock health update from Piers follows shortly after he took aim at Donald Trump on X, formerly known as Twitter, following his ambitions to purchase Greenland and hit countries with tariffs, including the UK.

Coronation Street actress shares health update with fans after diagnosis

Although Georgia May Foote has stated that her vitiligo diagnosis is “up and down,” the winter months are easier to manage because her tan doesn’t make it as obvious.

Former Coronation Street star Georgia May Foote has revealed that her autoimmune condition has good days and bad. The TV star, 34, was diagnosed with vitiligo which shows lighter patches on a person’s body due to a lack of melanin in the body.

She was questioned about her journey as she accepts the glaringly obvious condition during a question-and-answer session with fans on social media. She responded, “It’s crazy. Although it is actually spreading right now, winter is always preferable because my tan doesn’t make it as obvious.

She continued, “I have ups and downs with it.” Georgia is seen taking a selfie in the mirror with her elbow vitiligo highlighted in the most recent post. She has also developed other body parts as a result.

Georgia’s doctors informed her about the condition two years ago, and she has since followed her on social media. The TV host has been working to raise awareness of her condition, which she developed in 2020.

She claimed that the issue developed over time as “little spots” but eventually grew. She told a reporter on Channel 5 New that she “developed it in 2020.” It started out as a small spot, and it has since grown over the past five years. I now have it down my arms and elbows, and it’s all over my hands.

She continued, “And it’s obviously been quite a big change, as well, to my face.” I feel fortunate that it took on such a strange form when I was the age I did. I’ll do if I can be the person who can raise awareness for it by helping others.

Aside from her health, Georgia has also been dealing with drama in other areas of her life. Last year, the former Strictly Come Dancing star shared that her beauty salon had burnt down. She had trained as a nail technician to supplement her acting income, so the fire that engulfed her salon had a huge financial impact.

After only two years of marriage, it was reported that she had also split from her husband Kris in July of the same year, adding more heartache. She has deleted all images of the couple’s engagement and intimate wedding on social media, as well as those that contain their ring.

Georgia’s marriage to Kris appears to be over, according to a source at the time. It is a rock on the rocks. She is surrounded by friends and family, and she looks to the future. Before the couple tied the knot, the actress had been dating Kris for two years.

Georgia shot to fame playing Katie Armstrong in Coronation Street between 2010 and 2015. Sharing her joy in the run up to her big day, she even described Kris as her best friend.

She reportedly said to her audience, “I’m about to marry my best friend.” the one who improves me. The final month of being a Foote is now.

Georgia and Giovanni Pernice, her Strictly Come Dancing professional partner, dated each other in 2015. However, their relationship lasts only for one year.

Georgia addressed X in 2016 and wrote, “We have decided to split up. Nobody else is involved. Although it wasn’t an easy choice, you sometimes come to the realization that friendship is important, and this is one of those times.

We will focus on our upcoming work projects because we have very busy work schedules for the rest of the year, she continued, and we will do it well together in the long run.

Helen Flanagan begs trolls to ‘please stop’ after shocking Scott Sinclair feud

Helen Flanagan, a Coronation Street star, has made headlines once more after rumor-free reports that Scott Sinclair, her former football player, is allegedly yelling at her.

Helen Flanagan has hit out at online trolls following her feud with Scott Sinclair. The mum-of-three, 35, hit the headlines this week after it was reported that her footballer ex, 36, had forced her out of her home, which is in Scott’s name. The former Swansea City star is said to be keen for Helen to downsize and live in a smaller property, but sources claim that the Rosie Webster legend will not be going quietly.

While the couple share Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and son Charlie, four, their relationship is non-existent, and they’re reportedly no longer on speaking terms. Instead, any communication is reportedly going through their relatives.

Following the latest fracas, Helen has slammed followers who repeatedly send her messages about Scott and took to social media today, insisting that they stop.

She said, “I’ve been receiving quite a lot of messages about the whereabouts of the father of my kids,” in a video she posted from her car wearing a pink fluffy cardigan. I really don’t care, please.

No one needs to message me and discuss his private life. That’s now gone from me. I’d prefer not to DM me anything, so please. Please don’t… wow! Helen then began laughing as she repeated.

Helen, who criticised Scott in December for missing their son’s nativity play while he was away, has been warned that her feud with her ex-boyfriend might become even more heated “in light of the most recent drama between the former couple.”

If Helen and Scott don’t seek intervention, the growing tension between them could turn into “the new normal.”

Marygrace Anderson, psychotherapist, certified hypnotherapist and founder of MG Hypnosis, told The Mirror: “The fact that communication appears to have broken down to the point where everything is going through Helen’s parents suggests just how strained things have become between Helen and Scott.

“Psychologically, the concern is that if this dynamic persists, it runs the risk of becoming more and more of the new normal.”

The house’s current conflict is likely to involve far more people than the property itself.

“For Helen, the home may represent stability, routine, family support, continuity for the children, especially given their young age,” she said.

The house may feel financially unsustainable or necessary from Scott’s point of view, which could leave both parties feeling unheard and unheard.

Ant McPartlin ‘working hard on himself’ after tragic drink driving conviction

Ant McPartlin has received praise from Clarion Donnelly for turning his life around after serving a 2018 drink driving conviction and moving forward.

Since leaving Byker Grove, Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly quickly became the golden duo of television. But in 2018, their reign took a huge blow after Ant was arrested after being involved in a drink-driving crash in west London.

After spending time in rehab for an addiction to alcohol and painkillers, Ant, 50, was involved in the accident. However, almost eight years later, Declan still appears to have nothing but deep admiration for this best friend for turning his life around after the drink-fuelled collision that left a four-year-old passenger in one of the vehicles he hit with needing medical attention.

At the time, the I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here host had been on his way back from walking his dogs in Richmond Park when he hit a BMW and another Mini Cooper. He was given an £86,000 fine, a 20-month driving ban which was reduced by five months and was also ordered to take a drink-driving referral course.

Declan told The Times: “What I most admire is that Ant took responsibility and real action in spite of the challenges he’s faced, especially over the past few years. He continued, “He worked so hard on himself to become a much better person than he was before.”

Following the breakdown of his 11-year marriage to makeup artist Lisa Armstrong, the crash occurred. He addressed and stated his statement while standing outside Wimbledon Magistrates Court at the time.

He continued, “I just want to let you know how sorry I really feel about what happened.” I aspire to higher standards from myself. I let myself down, I let a lot of people down, and I’m so sorry for it. “I’m just thankful nobody was seriously hurt,” he continued, “I’d like to apologise to everyone involved in the crash.”

Ant took a step back from hosting his scheduled TV shows after pleading guilty and sent himself back to rehab once again. Former This Morning host Holly Willoughby replaced Ant to host I’m A Celebrity while Dec led two episodes of their quiz show, Saturday Night Takeaway.

Ant had taken a year off from his TV commitments and returned in 2019 to host Britain’s Got Talent. Two years later after putting his split with Lisa firmly behind him, he met and married his former personal assistant Anne-Marie. And 24-months later the couple welcomed their first child together.

Declan admits to considering going solo professionally while working on himself during his second stint in rehab. He claimed that Ant’s behavior was “indefensible.”

How did he manage that, he asked The Guardian? I wanted to punch him and give him a hug at the same time, but I was unsure of the first action. Ant then admitted in a candid manner that “it didn’t kick in until I was gone and rested.” I was having trouble falling asleep. The guilt and shame were repulsive. Drinking while driving is an inadmissible offense, regardless of the state I’m in.

On the back of their advertisement for their new podcast Hanging Out With Ant and Dec, Ant and Dec were recently ordered to apologize in full. The pair’s feet are the only thing initially visible in the advertisement. Then, Dec is reportedly addressing Ant, “Did you agree to this?”

Ant responded, “No, I assumed this to be your idea. Dec said, “This is not what we meant by hanging out,” before the pair are then seen hanging by the shoulders to a clothesline.

But their promotional video did not go down well at all among fans. And even X Factor star Katie Waissel waded in on the argument as she described their advert as “sickening and deeply disappointing.” Taking to X, she fumed: “This opening visual of feet suspended above the ground is not a harmless ‘play on words’, it immediately reads as someone hanging, and the suicide imagery is impossible to ignore.”

There is a clear duty to act responsibly with a platform as large as yours, she continued. This harm can be avoided for the long run. When so many families have been ruined by suicide and self-harm, it’s startling, insensitive, and reckless to promote as ” entertainment “.

Soon after, the duo apologized and said that the offensive language and imagery had been removed in a statement.

Coronation Street Debbie Webster actress’ heartbreaking reason for not having children

Debbie Webster, a Coronation Street legend, is currently the subject of a significant soap’s secret child twist.

Coronation Street’s Debbie Webster dropped a shock secret child bombshell recently on the soap – but does the actress Sue Devaney have kids of her own?

Sue joined the long-running ITV show way back in 1984 playing Debbie, who was introduced as the sister of Kevin (Michael Le Vell). She ended up leaving a year later, only to make her cobbles return in 2019.

And it’s fair to say Debbie has become a firm favourite with fans over the years. However, the beloved businesswoman has had a difficult past 12 months on the cobbles after being diagnosed with young-onset vascular dementia.

This month, she found herself caught up in the multi-vehicle crash in the Corriedale episode that saw Billy Hayhew (Daniel Brocklebank) get killed off.

Although it was believed that Debbie was to blame the crash, it was actually her brother Carl (Jonathan Howard), who moved an unconscious Debbie into the driver’s seat and made it seem like she was to blame.

Last week, Debbie appeared in court after being charged with causing the multi-vehicle pile-up, in which she pleaded guilty, much to the shock of her family. However, in a shocking twist it was revealed that Debbie is taking the wrap for Carl because she is secretly his biological mum.

Away from the soap, actress Sue lives a much less dramatic life. She is loved-up to husband BBC journalist Jim O’Farrell, whom she married in 2024 three years after they got engaged.

Sue and Jim exchanged their vows at a private ceremony in Skipton, North Yorkshire, attended by their closest friends and family.

Sue confirmed the happy news to her followers in an Instagram post that featured a photo of herself and Jim outside a hotel.

Additionally, Sue previously discussed the subject in an interview with The Big Issue and doesn’t have any children. She said, “I never had children, and I’m now almost 50, and I think I’ve missed that chance because I was busy doing what I was doing.”

She made a sad admission that “people believe you can have it all.” You can’t, in my opinion. Then, she said, “I like to balance about 25 plates with one thing.” My niece and my sister are my lovely partners. Aside from acting, I have a life.

Adam Henson addresses ‘frustration’ over Countryfile as viewers switch off

Adam Henson has previously acknowledged that his explanation of all aspects of agriculture and that it can be “difficult” when presenting the show can cause some controversy from Countryfile viewers.

Countryfile star Adam Henson has addressed viewers’ “frustrations” as he fears they could switch off the show. The 60-year-old has fronted the popular BBC One series for almost 25 years now.

He balances running Bemborough Farm near Guiting Power with his presenter duties. The site doubles as Cotswolds Park Farm, which receives around 180, 000 visitors annually.

The attraction was founded by Adam’s dad Joe in 1971. Adam however took over the operation of the site in 1999 with his business partner Duncan Andrews.

And Adam admits to frequently finding himself “dumbing down” the way he discusses farming when presenting Countryfile, despite being well-versed in rural life. He acknowledges that some viewers may become “fed up” with this.

He said, “I am quite Marmite, I think,” in a December interview with FarmED. We are a magazine show with a wide range of topics, which is why I’m primarily a farmer and have been doing it for 24 years.

“It used to be the farming programme and farmers watching it get frustrated that we’re not robust enough in some of our communication about farming, the technology, the finances, the struggles. And we’re not championing British farming enough.

“There are others who congratulate me for everything I do on the programme and talking about what I talk about, so there’s a bit of both. What I say to those who are critical or don’t quite understand what we’re trying to deliver is that the BBC aren’t making a programme to champion British farming, they’re making a programme to get viewing figures, and whatever drives that viewing figures they’ll make more of.”

Adam highlighted the format of The Great British Bake Off, which has since been replicated with the likes of The Great British Sewing Bee and The Great Pottery Throwdown. He explains that Countryfile is the “most watched factual programme” on TV.

He continued, “I don’t know what you’re talking about, what do you mean if I say, “Right, I’m going to move a lot of steers up the paddock, we’re going to put them in the handling pens, we’re going to put them in the handling pens, then down the race into the crush and we’re going to TB test them”?

Adam insists that he must explain everything clearly so that his audience can understand, but acknowledges that this may leave farmers without a voice in the process. He said, “I have to say, Right, I’m going to move this bunch of cattle; they’re castrated males, not steers.” We’re going to put them in a handling system so we can handle them safely, we’ll put them in a race, which is a narrow corridor, so they’ll go into a crush so we can watch them on a Bovine TB documentary, and then I’ll explain everything.

The farmer is frustrated when it listens to me, says it in a much more simplified, dumbed-down manner, and turns over. I’m trying to reach those people because that farmer has forgotten that there is a child in a flat in Birmingham who has never seen a sheep before.

Adam has previously stated that while presenting Countryfile, he “gets a little stick” from farmers. He stated on The Tweedl Pod in 2024 that it was difficult for him to be biased against anyone. Within the BBC, you must be balanced with your point of view, and you can’t campaign for anything.

“We’re talking to an audience of three and a half million people, some of whom are farmers, rural residents, gamekeepers, and others who reside in apartments in Hackney or Coventry, wherever it is,” he continued.
