Eamonn Holmes ‘buys luxury hideaway’ for him and Katie amid ex Ruth’s memoir release

Ex-partner of 27 years Eamonn has put a deposit down on a plush new-build hideaway for him and his new lover, 43-year-old Katie following the release of Ruth Langsford’s tell-all memoir.

Eamonn Holmes has bought a luxury new-build property for weekend retreats with his younger lover Katie Alexander, following his split from his former partner of 27 years, Ruth Langsford. The plush homes are set in a secluded hamlet in Holywood, five miles out from the TV and radio star’s native Belfast.

It will offer the new couple a base for their trips to Northern Ireland to see Eamonn’s family and an escape for weekend getaways together. The 66-year-old former This Morning host has reportedly laid down a deposit on one of the homes, which cost anywhere from £700,000 to £900,000.

A source told the Sun : “Eamonn loves going back to Northern Ireland visiting family and he’s been after a new place there for a while. It will be the perfect place to build a home with Katie, with no ­memories of anyone else. They can use it for weekend retreats.”

Since Eamonn’s mobility issues have advanced since 2021, he has been forced to use a walking stick and wheelchair. The location is “perfect,” according to the source, because the properties can be “custom-built” to make them accessible.

Following Ruth’s announcement that her new memoir, Feeling Fabulous will detail the “highs and lows” of their relationship, the new hideaway may have come at a good time for Eamonn. After almost three decades of dating, the couple split in 2024, with Eamonn wasting no time before moving on with his friend, 43-year-old relationship therapist Katie Alexander.

The former couple have remained tight-lipped about their separation, but Ruth is likely to be opening up about everything in her book, which is due out on February 26. She shared the news on Instagram on Friday, telling fans she will tell about “the good and the not so good”.

She remarked, “I can’t believe my first book will be published in 2026! I’m very excited but also a little nervous. These are accounts of my life, both positively and negatively, as well as the positive and negative aspects of everything that led to who I am today.

The Loose Women star continued: “I share the experiences that have shaped me and the lessons I’ve learned along the way. Publication day is 26th February but you can pre order a copy now (and a limited number of signed copies are available too). Click the link in my bio or check out my stories to get your copy. Hope you enjoy reading it as much as I’ve enjoyed writing it x”.

Ruth and Eamonn have been together since their marriage ended, and she just recently revealed that she has been receiving therapy. She explained to the home magazine woman&amp that she had begun counseling.

My counsellor “does not get involved in our relationship because she probably saw us on TV,” she said. She simply nods, “Have you thought about this?” or “Why did that make you feel that way?” She continued, “I think I know myself very well, so it has just been soothing.” I’m left wondering how I’m feeling.

Helen George, the star of Call the Midwife, has received positive feedback from fans for seeing her enjoying life with her businessman boyfriend Dan Innes, according to reports that they have recently made a significant step in their romance.

Helen George and her business partner, Dan Innes, have recently grown in love and are now living together. According to reports, the Call the Midwife star and her partner share a five-bedroom home.

Helen, 41, who has played Trixie Franklin since 2012, made the first public engagement with Dan, who works for an estate agent marketing firm, in March of last year. Following a “martini fuelled” night out at a jazz club, she first posted him.

The couple quickly returned for a romantic outing to a boutique hotel a few days later. Additionally, it is said that the two have become more in touch and are now residing together.

The Sun has reported that Helen and George moved in together by the end of last year – while a social media snap from December showed the couple beaming in a vehicle together after picking up a Christmas tree. The Sun also reports that the pair are living in a five-bed property – while snaps form last week showed the couple enjoying a night out together at a Cirque du Soleil circus show premiere. The Mirror has contacted a representative of Helen for comment.

Fans of Helen and Call the Midwife may recall that she and co-star Olly Rix had a brief romance that ended in 2024. From 2021 to 2024, Olly, 40, played Matthew Aylward in Call the Midwife, and it is said that they “drifted apart” before reaching a mutual end.

Helen and Jack fell for each other in 2016 when the BBC show filmed in South Africa for a Christmas special. They welcomed a daughter named Wren in September 2017, and a second daughter named Lark in November 2021.

However, after splitting up, the couple split in 2023. The Trixie Franklin singer revealed the split in a statement released via social media that read, “We separated some months ago. I respectfully request privacy for this next chapter while our two stunning girls continue to be our focus.

Helen and Oliver Boot previously had marriages, and they broke up in 2015. She previously stated that “going through a divorce is awful. Strictly was a task for me, and, strange as it may sound, I believed it would serve as a form of therapy after my divorce.

Many people I spoke with described how it had really helped them through challenging times. You are on a one-way emotional journey because of this one thing. It shocked me because I assumed no one would care about me because I was so naive. I soon realized I wasn’t interested in all that celebrity-related material.

The actress previously told The Times that she had a crush on her character in the BBC period drama. And I have endured it. As a single mother, I must take care of both of my children financially.

With its fifteenth season beginning on Sunday, Call the Midwife made its way back to television this month. According to reports, the current season reportedly set the scene for a feature-length film based on the show.

The BBC previously confirmed their ambitious plans to adapt the medical drama’s forerunner to the big screen, with the film adaptation slated for 1972 and starring a large portion of the current cast. Additionally, the BBC is reportedly developing a prequel series that will examine the histories of the characters who have previously appeared on the long-running show and show how they handled the Blitz there.

NHS praised for ‘iconic’ Harry Styles smear test campaign sparking huge fan reaction

Fans who demanded a raise for the team jumped on Harry Styles’ new album to demand that the public schedule their cervical smear tests were enthralled when the NHS reacted to the announcement of his new album.

The NHS has been praised for its “iconic” Harry Styles social media campaign, in which women have been urged to go for a smear test if they can remember the singer in his One Direction days. Harry’s comeback has lead the health service’s social media team to post a reactive meme to remind women they need to keep on top of their cervical screening.

Although it may seem an odd crossover, the campaign has sparked a huge reaction from fans of the 31-year-old, off the back of his new album announcement this week. The Grammy winner’s last album release, Harry’s House, was four years ago, so fans were delighted to hear his fourth solo record – Kiss All The Time. Disco, Occasionally – will drop on March 6.

It marks his return to music after his hiatus following the end of his Love On Tour shows in July 2023. Demonstrating “social media gold” reactive marketing, the official NHS Instagram account shared its meme on Saturday.

The star’s photo at age 16 was displayed next to “and you are excited for this Harry,” along with the caption “If you remember this Harry.” His new album cover was also displayed. A patient was shown a smear test image with the words “It may be time for your cervical screening” underneath.

The messaging was praised by followers who jumped. One person wrote, “Hello, I wanna join, anyone who hosts socials for the NHS.” Another person remarked, “NHS socials are incredibly good,” and a third person pleaded with them to “please give your marketing team a raise”!

Excellent public health messaging was the response of an influencer doctor, which was followed by clapping emojis. “Iconic from the NHS social team!” was a comment posted by another user. Look at those figures! Reminder: “Bookbook Book your smears!!” Who would have imagined the NHS would be developing the reactive marketing playbook, a different Instagram user said?

The caption went straight to business, addressing a pressing issue that Harry had raised while the caption read: “Cervical screening is for women between the ages of 25 and 64. Screening for those who have cervixes should be available to everyone.

You’ll receive your first invitation a few months before turning 25. Cervical cancer is a cancer found anywhere in the cervix and is present every five years from the age of 25 to 64. Women between the ages of 30 and 35 are most susceptible to it.

“Cervical screening can detect high-risk HPV by preventing cervical cancer.” Therefore, it is crucial to reserve time for your appointment and to show up on time.

Then, if necessary, users are directed to seek advice. A nurse or doctor will take a sample of cells from the cervical cervix and send them off for testing for high-risk HPV or any abnormal changes during a cervical smear test that only last five to ten minutes.

No further tests are required if the result is clear. Patients will be informed if something on the smear test shows up and whether any additional tests or treatments are necessary.

As per the Cancer Research website: “HPV is a very common virus that affects all genders. It is estimated that around 8 out of 10 people will be infected with HPV at some point in their lives. The likelihood of having HPV increases with the number of sexual partners you have.” For more information, visit the NHS website here.

Paula Lane, the star of Emmerdale and Coronation Street, gave birth to a boy earlier this month.

Emmerdale star Paula Lane has shared a sweet update just a few days after giving birth to her son.

Paula, who played Ella Forster on Emmerdale and Kylie Platt on Coronation Street, revealed last year that she was expecting her third child with husband Tom Shaw.

The soap star is already a proud mum to two children: Arthur, born in 2014, and Penny, born in 2016. And earlier this month in January, Paula delighted fans when she confirmed she had given birth to their baby son.

Alongside adorable photos of their new arrival, Paula penned in the Instagram caption: “Welcome to the ranch Patrick. We are all completely and utterly in love… So longed for…thank you for completing us”.

And now, just days after welcoming baby Patrick, Paula – who left Emmerdale last year – has taken to her social media to reveal how she is doing amid the exciting new chapter in her life. The TV star uploaded several photos to Instagram of what life has looked like for her in the past 10 days.

However, Kylie’s relationship with her six years earlier came to an abrupt halt in the 2016 TV shows that were broadcast. Audiences witnessed Paula’s character collapse in the arms of her suffocating spouse, David, while he was lying in the middle of a road after suffering fatal stab wounds.

William and Kate’s eye-opening move during Harry return shows ‘lines are drawn’

In the upcoming days, Prince Harry is expected to make another court appearance in the UK, and it seems unlikely to be about any family reunions.

Prince Harry looks set to arrive in the UK in the coming days for a whirlwind visit – but yet again royal reunions are not on the cards. The Duke of Sussex will be at the High Court in London as his case against the publisher of the Daily Mail gets underway on Monday – with Harry himself giving evidence on Thursday.

He is not expected to meet his father, the King, who is currently soaking up some sun at his Balmoral home in the Scottish Highlands, unlike when he was last in London. Just two days before Charles is scheduled to take the stand, he will be performing royal duties on Monday. He then will travel to London for a medical appointment on Tuesday.

Similarly, Prince William, who has barely spoken to his brother in years, is also set to be hundreds of miles away next week on a trip to Scotland with Kate. They are due to travel to Stirling and Falkirk, where they will shine a spotlight on unique Scottish heritage traditions and how they are continuing to connect communities and inspire new generations. On the day Harry is expected to give evidence, William will also be far from London, carrying out engagements in Bristol.

And according to royal expert Jennie Bond, this speaks volumes about the royals and their relationships. The former BBC royal correspondent told the Mirror : “It should be such a straightforward relationship: father and son, reuniting from time to time even though they live on different continents. But it is very much NOT straightforward. Theirs is a relationship fraught with complexity.

Charles and his son have a vehement disagreement with one another over following up and sue the tabloid press, according to Harry’s book. The King thinks that the rest of the family should generally just get on with their lives and careers and move on. The UK press has been on a mission under the leadership of Harry.

“Charles is likely to be in Scotland as usual in January when Harry travels back from California to face down Associated Newspapers in court,” so it’s perhaps fortuitous. The lines are drawn even more clearly because William and Catherine have engagements in Scotland. Harry will concentrate on his legal case, and there are a good chance he won’t see his father or, of course, his brother while they are in town.

Harry claimed in an interview with the BBC that the King would not speak to him because of his legal dispute with the Home Office over security, and that he did not know how long my father would wait for a “reconciliation,” as he described his hopes for a “conciliation.”

Following the duke’s defeat in a court of appeal challenge involving his security arrangements while in the UK, the couple had the opportunity to have a sit-down conversation. According to reports that Harry’s taxpayer-funded armed security will be reinstated for visits to the UK, the Home Office is now ordering a full threat assessment for the first time since 2020.

Father and son finally got together in September while Harry was in London for the first time in 19 months for a brief tea at Clarence House. And, according to Jennie, it might take some time for things to fully reconcile.

Continue reading the article.

What father wouldn’t want Charles to rekindle his once-close relationship with his “darling boy,” she said. But how does William feel about everything that is so urgently complicated and sensitive, including the tabloid court case and the security issue?

The King has a good royal balance to perform, and a resolution will need to wait a while.

Why Piers Morgan is in hospital and why he’s blamed Donald Trump

Why is Piers Morgan in a hospital and why is he being held accountable by Donald Trump?

Skip to the main article

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.
