The Wanted ‘s Max George has flown half-way around the world to reunite with bandmate Siva Kaneswaran for their first ever show in the US this week – less than a year after he was undergoing life-saving heart surgery.
37-year-old Max had to have heart surgery in December 2024, after he was rushed to hospital following issues with his circulation. He later revealed that he was feeling so unwell, he wrote a will whilst in hospital. Surgeons fitted the singer with a pacemaker a week after he was admitted to hospital and uncovered a heart block.
Since then, Max has returned to the hospital. Just a few months after the first operation, it became clear that the pacemaker had been inserted too deeply and needed to be refitted.

Then in September, Max again revealed to his Instagram followers that he’d gone to hospital. Sharing a picture of himself in a hospital bed, he said he was waiting to see a doctor but also seemed sure he would be able to embark on his world tour.
Max, who was formerly with The Wanted, has since begun their world tour and reunited with Siva Kaneswaran for shows together in Las Vegas. The Wanted 2.0 is a collaboration between the pair, who are scheduled to play numerous US dates.
Though the whole band went on hiatus in 2014, The Wanted came back together in 2021 for a charity gig after Tom Parker was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
The singer died in 2022, and the other two members, Nathan Sykes and Jay McGuinness, have not joined their bandmates in America so far. But Max and Siva still seemed to be enjoying themselves and posted a pic of them outside the venue to Instagram.
Max revealed details about his experience with The Sun earlier this year: “I started feeling a little rough. I was unable to identify it. I struggled to get out of bed because I was quite lethargic and stuff. But I didn’t believe it to be very serious.
“Thankfully, I’d gotten up to go to my mother’s house to get some rest, and I remembered that my hands were blue, my arms were gray, and I was in the cold. I had trouble getting up in bed.
He continued, “There was a night when my heart rate dropped and I felt like I was dying” shortly after the pacemaker was fitted and before he had left the hospital.
He shared that it was “quite close” that night. My neck was actually closing, which is when the panic really started. I was in agony. I felt emotional at the worst time.

Tommy Fury has shared a family photo with Molly-Mae Hague and their daughter, just as the influencer revealed she was prescribed beta blockers to manage anxiety triggered by tension in their relationship.
The couple, both 26, first met on Love Island in 2019 and briefly separated last year amid reports of Tommy’s drinking and alleged infidelity. They later reconciled, but in the latest episode of Molly-Mae’s Behind It All series on Amazon Prime Video, she details how the strain of their relationship affected her mental health.
Molly-Mae is seen hanging up on Tommy during a difficult phone conversation before confessing her struggles in a moving scene.
Even though Tommy and I have been far better and have progressed significantly, there are still times when I get really anxious, like when I hear the word “alcohol,” she said.

When Tommy and our relationship aren’t in good shape or there is a problem, she said, “I care so much about it,” she continued.
“I had a panic attack, and I felt like I was sick.” My body is essentially not coping with it, I thought, Oh God, this is not good. Yes, it was awful. I was anxious, so I needed beta blockers.
Despite the raw admission, Tommy appeared to show that things between them have since stabilised. He posted an Instagram photo of a family brunch on Sunday, showing Molly-Mae cuddling their daughter Bambi at a pink-themed café.
In a different episode of the series, Molly-Mae speaks with Zoe Rae about the couple’s current housing situation. The pair have been living apart despite reconciling.
“Tommy and I, in an ideal world, we wouldn’t be in two separate houses and hopefully by the end of this year we won’t be,” she said.
Zoe responded, “I believe you need to test it.” Her sister rebuffed Molly-Mae’s claim that she was “always there,” saying, “You’re not, Molly. Every other day, you’re there. Again, Bambi would not find this to be normal and beneficial.
Molly-Mae remarked on the conversation, “I never know what tomorrow will bring, so the idea of going there and putting all my eggs in one basket is frightful.”
She told her sister, “At the moment, having two homes and living apart is almost a safety blanket for me.”
The pair, who were photographed kissing on New Year’s Eve, officially confirmed their reunion in May. Molly-Mae later admitted that while “things aren’t perfect,” she and Tommy are “still figuring it out.”
She continued, “Tommy and I never had that issue because many people claim having children can really pull you apart.”

Christine, 37, appears on the new episode of the Tea Time podcast with Will Njobvu, which was released on Sunday evening. During the chat she discussed a variety of topics including her life since her divorce, as well as what it felt like being pictured kissing a girl for the first time.
The model also addresses the topics of autism, and mental health, as she addresses her recent medical diagnoses and confesses if she would like to take part in I’m A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here! Speaking about her divorce she said, “Divorcing Paddy McGuinness was the hardest decision of my life.
Sometimes, “Love isn’t enough,” says the saying. I said that I’m disrespecting myself if I continue to allow this right now. You must have your boundaries in place because it’s difficult to leave quietly. Let’s just end it amicably before things get worse.
The mother-of-three also admitted that because of the noise outside, she “begged her doctor for assistance.” Christine addresses her current housing situation while on the podcast, where she and Paddy still reside.
Christine made the announcement in the open conversation that she intends to write a tell-all memoir about her experiences. After previously publishing an autobiography that was released in 2021, Christine is no stranger to writing about her life.
She has now confirmed that she is thinking about writing a sequel to her own book, which she describes as a sincere ode to those who have supported her. Her relationship with Take Me Out personality Paddy McGuinness and her career as a follow-up to her memoir, which chronicled her rise to fame and relationship with her at the time of publication.
The actress has experienced a lot of change since her breakup with the television host and recent autism diagnosis.
Speaking to the Daily Star, Christine shared, “I did an autobiography about four years ago and some big things have happened since then. It would be amazing to do a second one; I can write about what happened next – I love writing.”
In a book, Christine has had plenty to talk about despite going through some significant life changes in the last four years. She continued, “I’ve never written about having autism and ADHD in my writings. That period of my life and other things can I write about.

She’s also expected to reveal details about her recent breakup with husband Paddy and also discuss her recent breakup with his wife. She vows to keep her distance and that she needs to reveal everything about her turbulent past four years.
It’s amazing to be able to write an autobiography, she continued. You must be open and private when doing one. You must accept it.
Dianne Buswell, the star of the BBC series 2025, addressed the criticism she has received for keeping up her dance career while giving birth to her first child.

Strictly Come Dancing’s Dianne Buswell has clapped back at online critics with a succinct statement, declaring she’s “had enough”. The red-haired professional dancer, who is currently lighting up the 2025 series of the hit BBC show alongside Aussie actor Stefan Dennis, is the first pregnant woman to dance on the show.
Dianne and her celeb partner Stefan were noticeably absent from last weekend’s episode due to Stefan falling ill, which unfortunately led to them missing out on the Movie Week special. However, they returned this week to dance a charleston on Saturday (18 October).
Some judges praised their performance as their best so far, and they were dancing to Tones And I’s Dance Monkey. Fans were in awe of Dianne’s agility, which included cartwheels and running down the Strictly staircase, as a result of their routine, which received a score of 26 out of a possible 40.

However, not all viewers were happy, so Dianne addressed some of the harsh criticism she received for dancing while expecting a child on Instagram. While pregnant, she shared a comment on Instagram that read, “I feel so uneasy watching Dianne cartwheel, run down the stairs in heels, and do tricks.
“Your centre of gravity is off while you’re pregnant, just takes one slip to fall on the precious bump. She is a true professional and fabulous dancer but I think it might have been wise to sit this season out. She is 36 so classed as advanced maternal age mother regardless of how fit she is, I think BBC made a mistake here,” reports the Express.
They continued by noting that Amy Dowden also took part in the BBC competition last year whilst facing health issues, adding: “It just doesn’t make sense. Like it didn’t make sense to give Amy a celebrity partner last year and look what happened there.” Fed up, Dianne shared her own thoughts as she reposted the comment, writing: “I have honestly had enough of comments like these.”
Thankfully, the majority of fans were incredibly supportive of the dancer and offered encouragement rather than criticism.
Literally, one fan argued, “I feel so bad she’s getting these comments as if she would ever do anything that would harm the baby!”
If she wasn’t a professional dancer doing all of this while she was pregnant, but her body is used to doing it, she said.
Another chimed in, “Amy didn’t have an ankle injury last year?” Anyone can experience that, and it has no bearing on having cancer! When and how to slow down and cut back, Diane will be aware of this and make her own decision.
a third person responded, “She’s pregnant, not sick. She must have good sense, I’m sure, to listen to her own body.
The 36 year old professional dancer confirmed earlier this year that she and YouTuber Joe Sugg are expecting their first child together. Since then, her fans have been quick to question whether she should continue performing some of the show’s more challenging lifts.
Chatting with comedian Chris McCausland on his Winning Isn’t Everything podcast, Dianne clarified exactly what her doctor had advised her following her pregnancy announcement. She revealed: “Because we did quite a lot of lifts that were quite high impact – well, look, I’m still doing everything that I did before. Obviously, with lifts, there’s just going to be a bit more caution.
However, my doctor assured me that everything is normal. He said that essentially, if you’ve already done it, such as if you’ve done lifts, this, that, you’ve done it, then you should keep doing it.
He said that because you’ve danced since you’ve been five, your body has been designed to do it. You shouldn’t stop doing what he said. You just need to be careful with lifting because it’s so obvious.
Some of the brand’s most popular and well-known products are included in the Rodial Advent Calendar with 12 Days of Rodial, and they are available for less than the cost of purchasing them all by themselves.

Rodial skincare is reportedly a favorite of The Princess of Wales.
Rodial has subtly, but firmly established itself as the beauty brand to watch in 2025, thanks to rumors that claim to include royal Kate Middleton and pop king Lady Gaga. The products do have a premium price tag because they are popular, like the ones for Dragon’s Blood and Bee Venom skincare, Glass Powder, and Banana Lowlighter, which are renowned for their age-defying results.
So it’s understandable that we practically ran to the store when we discovered a way to purchase items for just £97 worth of £244. Twelve luxurious treats are included in the Advent Calendar with 12 Days of Rodial, which is equivalent to £8 per product.
According to the Manchester Evening News, the contents include some of the brand’s most popular items from the popular Dragon, Snake, and Bee ranges. Princess Kate, who has been rumored to wear the Bee Venom and Placenta 24 Carat Gold Ultimate Crème, is reportedly fond of the latter, according to reports.
Our very own shopping writer, Lauren, has a big fan of the company and has steadily grown a respectable Rodial collection over the years.
She’s highlighted just a few of its standout products, highlighting the benefits of making an informed decision for shoppers, after noticing a few of her favorites in the calendar. What she said is as follows:

Peach Lowlighter
This smart concealer-meets-highlighter, inspired by Rodial’s popular Banana Lowlighter, has a peachy undertone that works wonders on skin tones that are slightly more hydrated. When applying fake tan, I typically reserve it for the classic Banana shade.
Even so, the silky, lightweight formula of Peach Lowlighter seamlessly blends in, giving my undereyebrows and temples a fresh, radiant finish.
This Peach Lowlighter may not be suitable for everyone’s natural skin tone, which is our only gripe because it doesn’t appear to be a shade that can be chosen, as Lauren discovered. Although this tone is ideal for those who prefer it, it’s the best way to pay less than the product’s typical £38 price tag.
Cleansing Water for Micellars in Dragon’s Blood
The Dragon’s Blood Cleansing Water has become my go-to morning product since I started using it a while ago. It leaves my skin clean but never stripped, preparing it for the day ahead.
With just a few sweeps of a cotton pad, this gentle yet effective formula, which is infused with rose water and micellar oil, feels like a mini spa treatment.
I frequently switch to The Outset’s Gentle Micellar Antioxidant Cleanser for those who prefer a traditional cleanser. Another soft, hydrating option that leaves skin feeling rested and fresh.
Cherry Lip Oil
Thanks to the Y2K beauty revival, lip oils are having a moment, and Lauren praises Rodial’s Cherry Lip Oil, which has a subtle red tint and a super-silky formula that leave my lips feeling hydrating.
It gives me a sluggish, juicy pout that appears to have put in more effort than it actually is.
Despite the brand’s claim that its formula is comparatively non-sticky, Lauren said, “I’ve definitely had the hair-stuck-to-lip moment” more than once.
Bronze Glowlighter
I’m a sucker for bronzers because I love giving my skin a little glow. One of the best liquid bronzers I’ve tried, this one has a sun-kissed tint and luminous finish that effortlessly blends into my skin.
It can be infused into moisturiser for a full-face glow and contours my face in seconds with just a little light blending. For those who prefer a powder formula, Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Bronzer is a great substitute for that soft-focus look.
Mini Buffing Brush
I’m thrilled to see my current favorite included in a new makeup brush, which is always a delightful surprise in any advent calendar. The Mini Buffing Brush gives blusher and bronzer a soft, airbrushed finish with little effort.
The densely packed bristles “feel supremely soft on the skin,” according to the reviewer, “and their compact size make it ideal for slipping into my handbag for touch-ups throughout the day.”

What’s inside the Advent Calendar with 12 Days of Rodial?
Rebecca Fenney, a wife of Married At First Sight UK, teases that her husband Bailey Smith’s relationship with the series is on “get juicy” and that it will “get juicy.”

It’s been a rocky road to finding romance for Married At First Sight UK star Rebecca Fenney, but she’s revealed that it’s been a “life-changing” experience – even if the drama is about to ramp up even more.
The 32-year-old aesthetics clinician was matched with micro-brewery entrepreneur Bailey Smith, 36, on the hit E4 show, which premiered last month. While the couple didn’t see eye-to-eye at first, Rebecca reveals to Mirror that viewers will watch them go “from strength to strength” throughout the series.
Rebecca claims that their relationship has changed dramatically from the beginning to the end, even though she can’t say for certain if they’re still together. You’ll see that it’s more than just sweet and perfect because we’ve had our ups and downs.

MAFS UK fans will know that Rebecca and Bailey have arguably been the least dramatic couple of the series. We’ve watched Steven Springett and Neelima Patel’s explosive rows unfold at dinner parties, while Leigh Harris and Leah Marie Tyrer have struggled to find a spark in their relationship.
Rebecca makes fun of the fact that the series will only get heatedter as it progresses. The Liverpudlian claims that the rift that some of the guys created between their relationships made the girls get closer to one another.
There’s a reason why the girls lent to each other so much toward the end, and why we’ve got such close relationships now, I believe you’re starting to see that already. Some of the themes that you’re seeing now just escalate, and it was challenging at times for viewers.
It got tough at this point, they said. It gets juicy when things actually started to change.
Rebecca and Bailey initially struggled romantically because they became the “parent and dad” of the cast, and Rebecca later admitted that Bailey didn’t fit her”alpha male “type.”
She says, “We didn’t have that instant spark, and I honestly found the wedding day so overwhelming.” This is never going to work, I thought. I resumed the habits I’d left behind.
“I pondered, “Take a vacation and have fun.” There was no spark or attraction there for me, despite the fact that he appears to be a good guy you’ll laugh at.
Some viewers labeled Rebecca a “bridezilla,” but she reveals that she didn’t actually kick Bailey out of her bed on the TV show “wedding night.”
Although I came off as a bridezilla, we actually slept in the same bed on the night of the wedding. She claims that it was captured on camera. However, I told Bailey to measure himself against the couch and say, “You can sleep on the couch.” In the end, that wasn’t how it ended; I actually said, “You’re too big on that,” which I later admitted. We had a good night’s sleep thanks to him for being so respectful.
Everything changed for Rebecca ahead of their Mauritius honeymoon – in scenes that weren’t caught on camera.
She exclaims, “Nobody knows this, but it actually changed when we arrived at the airport.” There were no cameras in the lounge because Bailey had already booked us in and it was just us two.
I had the first conversation with him without any other distractions when we sat down for the first time. Wow, you’re actually a bit of me, I thought to myself. I really get along with you. “
Rebecca and Bailey grew closer as a result of their time together on the show. We’re always smiling as we enter the dinner parties head-on, always smiling. She claims that we were always the strongest among all of the others.
I’ll cherish that because I’m aware that some people used to hate it when we were younger, but we never felt that way. We both thought we were having a great time and were together on a night out.
However, there were times when Rebecca had trouble keeping up with the show.” The procedure is extremely long. She describes it as going through intense couples therapy on a daily basis with a number of people whose relationships you’re involved in, “she says.
You don’t have family, friends, or outside support, you say. That was the hardest for me to do. Nothing ever gets brushed under the rug; it’s essentially, “Let’s air everything out.” That’s the beauty of the show, which is challenging.
Trolls and the general public have been weighing in on their opinions online, which has also been challenging for Rebecca. Rebecca was forced to refute rumors that Bailey had cheated on her with his ex while conducting the experiment earlier this month.
It was challenging at first because it was new to everyone, she says. We’re just regular people who have made a name for themselves.

You don’t realize how much of what you’re going to hear and see because I anticipated the comments and some of the trolling. It’s a challenging task when content creators are coming up with other ideas.
