“It’s amazing to be able to write an autobiography.” What will follow, I can discuss. I enjoy writing a lot. She told the Daily Star, “You have to be open and personal when you do one,” adding that she is ready to “embrace it.”
Her recent diagnosis of autism and ADHD, her ongoing journey of self-discovery, and her separation from her ex-husband Paddy are all expected to be covered in the book.
After 11 years of marriage, the mother-of-three finally divorced Paddy, 52, last year. Christine has openly discussed how to adjust to living alone and how lonely it can sometimes be.
She recently stated at the London Attitude Awards: “I’d love to be dating. It’s difficult. I do feel lonely, and I believe that’s why I struggle at events, especially during the most recent ones.
You get to the point where you leave, and if you’re there with someone you love, you’d better go home.
Christine, who has dated both men and women since she was 15 and who recently admitted that gender does not matter to her, describes herself as a “free spirit.”
She made a new connection on Celebs Go Dating earlier this year, but she abruptly stopped filming to focus on her children.
She also criticized Paddy for “disrupting the trust” they had while dating him publicly. At age 19, she told me, “Yes, I did, I liked him. He made me laugh because of his cheeky charm. It was a perfect time to meet him, and the relationship went smoothly.
On the show, Christine discussed the end of their marriage, quoting him, “Anyone can make mistakes, but I think the trust was shattered.” He will always be my love. I believe he is the only man I’ll ever love because he is the father of my children.
Everyone knows your business, she continued, noting that “a lot of people make mistakes and mess up,” even when you’re in a couple who is well-known in the field.

Her marriage to Paddy was documented in her prior autobiography from 2021. Christine’s upcoming memoir, which will follow her story, is anticipated to provide unfiltered insights into her post-divorce life, her personal development despite the difficulties and difficulties she has encountered in recent years.

Former professional boxer Amir Khan has suggested that he was made to look like the “bad guy” during his appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here. He opened up about his famous scene where he and Iain Lee were both appearing on the show in 2017.
The duo were seen wolfing down a portion of strawberries and cream and not sharing them with their hunger-stricken campmates at the time. The sportsman has no insisted he never intended for the decision to eat the dish to cause drama in the camp.
He said: “At the time, when I ate them, I thought, yeah, I’m having them. I didn’t know the cameras were rolling, and that people back home were going to be watching.”
Speaking to the Daily Star, he continued, “See, this is the thing, I didn’t realise how big of a show I’m a Celebrity was. I’d never watched it before. I didn’t know how the system worked.
“But when I re-watched what I did, the way it was edited made me look like such a bad person, like I was doing it on purpose to upset everyone in camp. But honestly, I was just being silly, a bit boisterous. That’s just who I am.”
As he recalled the moment in a further reflection, Amir admitted it was controversial. He said: “Looking back, it made me look bad. But would I do it again? I probably would. Yeah, why not? But this time, I’d tell them straight: ‘Yeah, I ate them, what are you going to do about it?’
“I remember there was Jamie Lomas, Georgia Toffolo, and even Stanley Johnson, Boris Johnson ’s dad. Even if I did say I ate them, I don’t think they could’ve done anything anyway.”
Now as I’m A Celeb: All Stars is set to make a comeback, Amir has shared how he feels about doing the show twice. He said, “The first one is always harder. You’re not expecting how intense, how crazy it’s going to be.
“You’re suddenly stuck with snakes and spiders, you just can’t imagine they’d do something like that to you. The second time, it’s easier because you know what to expect.”
He also shared how the first experience was more nerve wracking, but helped him to become braver. He noted that he feels the situation could be the same for fellow former boxer David Haye, who is taking part in the upcoming series of All Stars.

Amir said: “If an animal bites you, you’ve got a first aid team to make sure you’re alright. I still took that leap even though I was scared, and it pulled me through. So, I think with David Haye going in again, he’s going to smash it. He’ll do much better than the first time because he knows what to expect.”

Big Brother star Farida slams Nancy as a ‘mean girl’ during secret return(Image: ITV)
Big Brother has welcomed back a familiar face. 2023 evictee Farida Khalifa headed back into the house via a secret room and shared some explosive remarks about current housemate Nancy Nocerino with fellow secret housemate Sam Ashby as she re-entered the show.
Following the fake eviction of housemate Sam, co-hosts AJ Odudu and Will Best revealed that Sam, Farida and controversial former housemate Emily Hewertson would be heading to a secret room to watch the other housemates before joining them again.
In the secret room, Farida and Sam got talking, and Farida branded Sam’s pal Nancy a “mean girl”. Last week, Nancy and Sam were caught out calling 20-year-old Jenny Baird “fake”, leading to a huge bust-up between the three of them. Ultimately, their fellow housemates put both Nancy and Sam up for eviction because of the situation, and that’s how Sam ended up being ‘evicted’ and sent to the secret room.

Weighing in on the situation, Farida said: “Unfortunately, [Nancy] is giving mean girls vibes.” Sam then asked if Farida thought his friendship with Nancy had put him “in a bad position”. The make-up artist responded: “If you align yourself with the wrong person, you’ve… it’s just the way it is.
“You’ve already had the experience where you nearly got chopped on the head, do you know what I mean? And that’s because of the person that you’re aligning yourself to, and it’s… it’s just food for thought.”
In the secret room, Sam, Farida and Emily will be able to take part in behind-the-scenes challenges and control aspects of the main house before rejoining the group.
Emily was the first housemate evicted from this series of Big Brother. She was put up for eviction during the first episode by the public, along with Sam and Caroline Monk. When the decision was put to the nominated housemates, Sam and Caroline ultimately voted for Emily to leave after failing to be convinced she should stay.
The evicted housemate was a controversial pick for the show, as she had already built a name for herself as a vocal advocate for the Conservative party. In her introductory clip, Emily told viewers that those who would “never kiss a Tory” are missing out and added that she was hoping to find her husband on the show.
Many fans were put off by her politics and feared her outspoken nature would lead to arguments in the house. Others were also put off by her clear desire to use the show as a dating opportunity and many headed to X to remind Emily that this was Big Brother, “not Love Island”.

Her return has also been controversial. One X user said it was “absolutely vile” to bring Emily back, given her vocal support of Donald Trump and Nigel Farage, and that they were “disgusted by ITV and Big Brother giving this evil woman a platform”.
Another said they would not be watching again, and another said: “WHY? Who’s next? Katie Hopkins? Perez Hilton? Satan? Way to kill a season.”

Strictly Come Dancing star Vicky Pattison has labelled herself ‘rubbish’ as she shared a behind the scenes look into her rehearsals, following reports that she is dealing with ‘imposter syndrome’. A source close to Vicky is said to be worried that it will cripple her chances of going all the way and taking home the glitterball trophy.
After her latest performance, Vicky, 37, who is partnered with professional dancer Kai Widdrington, was awarded her highest score to date and was told by lead judge Shirley Ballas that she could potentially make it to the final.
Ahead of the results show tonight, Vicky shared a video to her Instagram where she was struggling to learn the moves to her latest dance, and said “I’m rubbish”. A source close to Vicky has claimed that she has really struggled behind the scenes due to not believing she was good enough to have had some ‘amazing new jobs’, including Strictly.

“Vicky has really struggled with this huge imposter syndrome and her confidence for years, since winning the jungle”, they told Fabulous. The source continued: “She came home to such fanfare, she was making a fortune and landing all these massive and amazing new jobs like becoming a Loose Woman – it was huge for little Vicky off Geordie Shore, she just couldn’t believe it.
She simply crumbled because it was so overwhelming. She had a really difficult time working in the background because she didn’t think she was competent enough.
It comes just days after Vicky admitted to feeling ‘overwhelmed’ during rehearsals and that she feels a little out of place.
“All the pros are carved like angels,” quips the gym physio, “and I’m there sweating all the way.” It’s both intimidating and overwhelming. However, you rarely get the chance to step out of your comfort zone as you age. She continued, “I like to show that I’m capable.”
While she regularly hits the gym, Vicky told Women’s Health that she doesn’t feel so fit when it comes to learning dance moves, admitting: “I think it’s going to be the cardio that lets me down… everyone is so fit.”
The judging panel gave her and her dance partner Kai some critical reviews last weekend. Ross King was ultimately axed from the program on Sunday evening, though.
Scottish broadcaster Ross King, best known for his live reports from Hollywood for ITV shows such as Lorraine and Good Morning Britain, has been voted off Strictly, weeks after he became the second-lowest-scoring contestant in Strictly Come Dancing’s history.

The couple made the announcement via Instagram, but there were some flaws. Many fans criticized the nearly a decade-long difference, calling it an age gap.
Jackie recently attended Paris Fashion Week with the Beckhams, joining them in france to pose on the red carpet and attend Victoria’s own fashion show. She was seated alongside Cruz and his brother Romeo Beckham, 23, sister Harper Beckham, 14, and their dad David, 50, to take in the catwalk show.

Jackie then retorted and explained her reasons, stating that he is kind, funny, caring, driven, mature, talented, loyal, and also quite attractive.
In the 1970s, The Raincoats were a group of women who revolutionized the British rock scene. And it was Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain who offered the band an opportunity of a lifetime after they inspired him

An unlikely quintet of menopausal women form a punk band in Sally Wainwright’s new Sunday night BBC One drama Riot Women.
The six part series – episode 2 is on tonight at 9pm or on iPlayer – makes nostalgic viewing for Gina Birch and Ana da Silva, who formed punk group The Raincoats nearly 50 years ago.
“Polar opposites” form the band after meeting as art students in London in the seventies with Gina, a lively 21-year-old from Nottingham, and Ana Da Silva, a chilled 28-year-old from the Portuguese island of Madeira.
“We had a very good working relationship even though we were living our own lives. We sometimes argued. We excel at doing that. Gina, 70, laughs with an especially sharp smile.

Rebellion was more important than musical prowess during The Clash and The Sex Pistols’ heyday. London provided freedom for Ana, now 77, who had grown up in an Estado Nova-ruled dictatorship. She says: “People could look how they liked to look and no one hassled them. Portugal has its own rules, but I love it there. At that time, you couldn’t kiss in the street. People did, but it was a law that you couldn’t”!
Ana, who adds, “It was like a door opened and I embraced a lot of it and then became a part of it,” found Punk to be particularly appealing. I liked how I expressing myself. London’s sense of adventure also gripped Gina, who made a squat in bohemian Notting Hill her home. She says, “When I moved to London, it was very much the big city, and I felt very provincial.”
In a neighborhood with a lot of musicians and artists, I had two rooms at the top of the house. But it was very dilapidated. Everything appeared to be deteriorating. She first spotted Ana at art school at this time, according to the statement. I noticed her because she was very, very suntanned, she had hair down to her waist and she was a little bit older, “says Gina”. I had just finished my A levels and had socialized with Nottingham’s crazies.
“Ana would order a glass of water and a black coffee at the nearby cafe,” she said. Nobody I knew had a glass of water. In Nottingham we would have orange squash or Ribena”! We immediately became friends, and Ana continues, “My cousin and I started going to a lot of gigs together, and he had a car.”
They were fans of bands like The Slits and their regular home, The Roxy, which had a lot of regulars. Gina says: “It was only really when I saw The Slits and there were four women on the stage playing their first show. In some ways, it was completely new and fresh. It was terrifying. It was about mischief, it was about comradery. It was about breaking the law as a young woman.
It only made me realize that I could do it. Previously, it had been men. Four women were suddenly in charge of their own destiny. “Then, one day, Gina entered a music store and purchased a guitar without even trying it out. She says:” I took this bass home. I spent a lot of time listening to music where the bass could be heard, and someone even taught me how to tune it.
She and Ana had already formed a band the day after that. In 1977 The Raincoats were born! Gina continues, “We hoovered them up when they got thrown out of the Slits.” When Palmolive, one of The Slits musicians, joined the band, we were thrilled. Then Palmolive wanted a violin or keyboard player and that’s when we got Vicky (Aspinall) We created a voice that was our own. We weren’t attempting to play four-four. We were examining it as if it were a heartbeat or a life rhythm.
They released their first single Fairytale in the Supermarket and their debut album The Raincoats on the Rough Trade label two years after their creation, according to Ana. “There were three moments for me that were miraculous,” they say. One was finishing the song in the rehearsal space. The first was when the album was released, which indicated that we were a real band, and the second was when the single was released. On the way there, I can recall crying as I drove from my house to Rough Trade to look at it. Those three moments were magical. “
Their fourth concert in Poland, which was then performed behind the Iron Curtain, was another career highlight for Ana. She says, “The audience was so eager for something new that having a punk band was magical for them. We may as well have come from Mars. It was incredible.
Odyshape, their second album, was released in 1981, but there were still some intriguing themes. Ana – who says they broke up after every record – explains:” We all had strong ideas about things and sometimes those ideas clashed. When they recorded a live album, The Kitchen Tapes, in December 1982 in New York at a venue known as The Kitchen, which was a hub for experimental music, tensions were at an all-time high.
The cassette version of the record sold for a lot in the Big Apple and became a hidden gem. But, a year later, they received the disappointing news from their label that no more copies of their records would be produced in the UK. The band eventually disbanded in 1983. Gina attended The Royal College of Art before working in an antiques store in Notting Hill before producing music videos. But in the summer of 1992 something very exciting happened. The Raincoats’ music was extremely difficult to obtain, and The Kitchen Tapes was the only album that was still available.
That’s when Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain and his wife Courtney Love came into their lives – tracking Ana down at the antiques shop. She recalls that these two young people entered our conversation while we were talking. I was unaware of Courtney Love or Kurt Cobain’s identity. I found out later. At the time, she was expecting. He made a personal introduction. Kurt said, ‘ When I listen to your music I fall on the floor. ‘ His body sort of sways out of sync or something. They attempted to obtain a copy of the first album when they went to the Rough Trade store.
When no one could help, they directed the star to Ana’s workplace, where he asked if she could sell him a copy and she said she’d find him one. She recalls Kurt and Courtney’s style as “I liked it.” It had an impact.
When Ana found a copy, the band signed it, she put some photos inside and sent it to him. In the liner notes to his upcoming album, Incesticide, he thanked me for his kindness toward me. He remarked, “I feel like a stowaway in an attic when I listen to the Raincoats.” Rather than listening to them I feel like I am listening in on them. I have to be completely still while we are together in the same old house, or I could hear them spied from above. Everything will be destroyed if I’m caught because it’s their thing.
The Nirvana endorsement sparked a resurgence of interest in The Raincoats – prompting their label to reissue their albums, while Kurt also released them on his label in the US. According to Ana, “It made a lot of young women believe they could do this as well.” And the Raincoats reconnected their musical chemistry.
We simply made the decision to have fun. It sounded good. Then things escalated”, says Ana. The chance of a lifetime arrived when Kurt learned they were playing together at a party in London without even listing them. Gina recalls that Nirvana’s agent called her while she was working on a music video that day that she wanted to tour with The Raincoats. I was just starting a potential film career. However, we were aware that Nirvana was amazing at the time.
The band decided to go for it despite the band’s subsequent hiccups. They were in New York doing a gig a little while before the tour when they got the terrible news that on April 5, 1994 Kurt Cobain had killed himself. We were conducting a soundcheck, Ana says, and DGC’s Ray Farrel said, “I have bad news. Cobain passed away.
“It created this really sad atmosphere. I thought he was speaking to the lyrics to the song I wrote. Gina continues, “We really felt that we wanted to dedicate this set to him.” The tragedy meant the tour was cancelled, but two years after Kurt’s death, The Raincoats released a fourth album, Looking in the Shadows.
Ana describes the singer as having the impression that he had somehow become a kind of guardian angel for us. He gave us a new life. While The Raincoats are no longer performing, Gina adds: “I think that’s a lovely way to think of him as a guardian angel. His devotion to us has made a significant contribution to history. Even so, I believe we would have had a place in history, but his presence is much more evident.
