Stormzy has been candid in a telling post as he looks back on 2025. The musician, whose real name is Michael Ebenzer Kwadjo Omari Owuo Jr, revealed he felt like he had been “dying a slow death” of late.

The 32-year-old rapper burst onto the scene 10 years ago and had a meteoric rise to the top. Now, he has opened up on what he felt was a tough year. Taking to Instagram to share the honest statement, he wrote: “Ok, I’m ready. There’s poetry in all this chaos so lemme embrace it.”

He continued to discuss the “unexpected twists and turns” he was forced to endure last year. And he claimed that he was “robbed” by the difficult circumstances.

He continued: “Towards the end of 2024, my life took a few unexpected twists and turns and I was forced to pivot. These same events also robbed me of the wide-eyed innocence I once navigated the world with.

“Kinda like how you use to believe that Disneyland was powered by rainbows and fairy dust, and then one day you see a headless Mickey Mouse arguing on the phone and smoking a cigarette. This made me more resilient and put the final nail in the coffin of my desire to be understood – a part of me that, tbf, was already dying a slow death.”

He acknowledged in his statement that “my life must be restructured and rebuilt” and that he had to “rebuild my team.” The loss and heartache of it all was devastating, he said. “The world that I had come to know and love would never be the same again.

He continued, “The demands of this new season challenged every aspect of my being,” after saying he had no idea why he was experiencing discomfort in life. I had my physical, spiritual, professional, and creative needs tested.

“I had no choice but to go over every aspect of my life.” I have always been incredibly clear about my purpose and the direction that The Holy Spirit wants me to go in, which makes this season even more unsettling.

The star opened up about a number of events from the past year that he claimed he had learned from, though it wasn’t immediately clear what events the star was referring to. He then shared several photos from his 2025, including those of Barry Keoghan and other famous people.

While Stormzy turned off the comments to his post, it was liked by many of his followers, including former Love Island star and fellow singer Wes Nelson. Sam Thompson and Lisa Maffia also clicked the like button to show their support.

In November, the star revealed he was heartbroken by the death of his dog he shared with ex Maya Jama. He revealed his Rottweiler died seven years after he bought the protection dog for him and his ex-girlfriend.

He shared a number of photos and clips of Enzo throughout the time he had him, in a sweet tribute to his pet as he announced the depressing news at the time. He later wrote, “RIP my no. 1 boy. Have little to say; all that is devastated and heartbroken.

My boy, I adore you so much. You already know Enz meant a lot to me, and I’m going to miss you, my guy.

From politics and royalty to celebrity relationships, psychic Gail Hart has revealed what she believes could lie ahead in 2026. Gail, who is a Psychic from Essex, used a mix of tarot and Australian bush flower insight cards to make her predictions.

She pulled one of each for several celebrities and public figures – including Brooklyn Beckham, Taylor Swift and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – offering a snapshot of what’s to come. Her readings point to pressure at the top of politics, emotional strain within famous relationships and a year of reflection for the Royal Family members.

We examine some of the predictions that the clairvoyant Gail and the psychic medium have made.

For Prime Minister Keir Starmer, Gail pulled the Nine of Swords, alongside the Isopogan Australian bush flower card. Gail’s reading frustration for the Prime Minister with things not moving as quickly as he wants, which will ultimately lead to sleepless nights.

Kerry “has the frustration of wanting things to happen before the time is right,” Gail said. He may be worried about the choices he has made because he is sleepy.

Someone has to do it, and this year, he needs to learn from his mistakes and stop making the same mistakes that have drawn harsh criticism.

Donald Trump: Money, fear of change, and fairness.

For US President Donald Trump, Gail drew the Six of Coins and the Bauhinia flower card. She describes Trump as “full of surprises”, with the reading suggesting a focus on money, balance and fairness.

According to Gail, “Trump, who I think is full of surprises, tries to be as fair as he thinks he is, appears to be giving money to those who are beggars, and perhaps even more so than he does to aid in homeless projects. He won’t drain America’s finances because he feels like he must, even though America is a wealthy nation. He will instead give it what he can.

Additionally, Gail claimed that Trump appears unwilling to accept a “new America” adding that despite his apparent resistance to change, a new America is being born.

Meghan and Harry: The Hintergründe

For Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Gail pulled The Magician tarot card and Bush Gardenia. The cards suggest the couple may feel a little flat in 2026 despite Harry’s efforts.

Gail thinks the spark might start to sag more and more tensely. This couple seems a little flat right now, but she said, “Love them or hate them, they do believe they can make things happen. The tension and lack of connection may increase as the relationship gets more strained. I believe Harry will use the magician card to bring in the magic to keep things moving, but basically!

Nicola Peltz and Brooklyn Beckham: Protective instincts

For Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, the King of Swords and Spinifex were drawn. The cards suggest the couple is feeling slightly off which will lead to one of them to becoming more of a leader in their relationship.

This couple might experience a sense of uncertainty and be unable to identify the issues that don’t feel right, Gail said. Brooklyn may take charge of the relationship, become more protective of Nicola, and influence both of their relationship’s decisions more decisively.

Taylor Swift: authenticity and romance

For Taylor Swift, Gail pulled the Knight of Wands alongside the Sturt Desert Rose. Wedding bells are ringing, and romance is in the air. Gail said: “Romance abounds here! The knight of cups is often seen as a proposal card and I see they got engaged last year.

They may concentrate on their honeymoon and wedding plans, but they are deeply in love, which I believe will grow as the year goes on. In order for this couple’s 2026 authenticity to be seen in more detail, the flower card talks about being true to yourself and releasing guilt.

Kate and Prince William: Trying to be perfect is a given.

For Prince William and Catherine, Princess of Wales, Gail pulled the Page of Pentacles and Yellow Cowslip Orchid. The flower card points to criticism but also to the couple embracing new experiences.

The flower card, according to Gail, suggests that this couple will face harsh criticism from those around them. They will also want to be perfect, but it’s not. William may want to learn Swahili, perhaps, and there is a focus on education and learning for both the children and themselves.

Prince William began studying Swahili in 2003 while he was a student at St. Andrews University during his time-offering break in East Africa. Despite using basic phrases during official royal visits to Tanzania and Kenya, he lacks fluency and has expressed an interest in learning the language more thoroughly.

Claudia Winkleman has admitted that she was “falling apart” when previously talking about her vision and spinal issues. The TV star has never been shy to share her health struggles and the measures she’s taking to address one particular concern.

The host of The Traitors on BBC1 revealed the action she’s taking to fix “years” of poor posture habits. Previously speaking with Gabby Logan on The Mid.Point podcast, she said: “My body is made entirely of crepe. [I’m] falling apart.”

The 53-year-old continued by explaining that after decades of not “standing up straight”, she’s now enlisted the help of a personal trainer to improve her posture, reports Wales Online. “I’ve got a bad back and I need some form of strength. You know what I mean? I’ve got my core,” the TV favourite said.

“They talked to me about parts of my body. They said, ‘ The problem is you’ve never used your lats’. I was like, ‘ What is that? ‘ Apparently, so my shoulders are up by my neck. I’m always like (demonstrates her posture).

” I don’t like the look of people standing up straight. It feels somehow cocky, so my stance has always been like a turtle. “

The word ‘ lats ‘ refers to the latissimus dorsi muscle, one of the largest muscles in the back. Pilates can help improve major muscle groups, posture, flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness.

Claudia said:” I’ve now got so many backbones. So I go to Pilates and they try and open me up. When they do open me up and I sit or stand like I’m supposed to, like that, I mean, it feels alien. “

During the same podcast, Claudia also provided an update on her ongoing eye condition, myopia. Also referred to as short-sightedness, the NHS describes it as a common condition that makes distant objects look blurred, though it can be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.

Claudia has spoken openly about her own struggles with the condition, revealing that it has led to mishaps such as walking into walls and problems with driving and reading. Despite having two eye operations, the TV star still faces difficulties, especially with reading, but thankfully, she has glasses tailored to her needs.

” Because I was so short-sighted, by them fixing it, I’m not long-sighted, so I can’t really read anymore. I can with glasses, I’ve got 2.5. “

Fortunately, the presenter’s eyesight troubles haven’t prevented her from enjoying a thriving presenting career. Having been involved with Strictly Come Dancing since 2004 and presenting Channel 4’s The Piano, Claudia has also forged a career on the airwaves with BBC Radio 2 between 2008 and 2024.

The “Goodbye 2025” montage also included a clip of the This Morning crew, including Alison Hammond, on stage at last summer’s NTAs, and another of a beaming Cat with Modern Family actor Jesse Tyler.

Her children – sons Milo and James – featured too, with Cat reliving the moment she got rapper and author MC GRammar to address and sign a copy of his Rap Kid book to the youngsters. James’s 7th birthday cake – a tribute to Minecraft – was also included, as was what appeared to be a trip to a farm to enjoy some adorable piglets.

She also captioned the post: “A lot of fun, A big bunch of friends and a whole lot more to come in 2026! #happynewyears”.

Cat and Patrick, who first met in 2002 when they worked together on the BBC show Fame Academy, are believed to have divorced under-the-radar around a year ago, but only made it public last summer.

Their full statement read: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.

“We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment.”

As his family battles the agonizing truth of his diagnosis of frontotemporal dementia, Bruce Willis is residing in a separate, one-story home with round-the-clock caregivers.

The Hollywood star, now 70, was diagnosed with the condition in February 2023, and has largely withdrawn from public life as his health declines. In recent months, his loved ones have shared rare but emotional insights into how the disease is affecting both Willis and his children.

On December 30 he celebrated his 18th anniversary with wife Emma Hemin Willis, who is 23 years his junior. Marking the occasion, the model and author said: “18 years ago, he became my boyfriend. With one kiss on the top of my head, time stood still. She included a throwback photo of herself and her “Perfect Stranger” co-star on Instagram. “I’m so lucky to know this kind of love.”

His eldest daughter, Rumer Willis, recently spoke candidly during an Instagram Q&A, revealing that her father does not always recognise her since his diagnosis.

“People always ask me this question and I think it’s a hard one to answer,’ she said tearfully. “The truth is that anybody with FTD is not doing great, but he’s doing okay in terms of somebody who is dealing with frontotemporal dementia.” Rumer explained that the usual ways people measure wellbeing no longer apply. She added: “The only way that I feel like I can answer that in a way that was like “he’s doing great” is like, those parameters don’t really work anymore in my mind.”

She claimed that despite the confusion caused by the illness, she still finds comfort in the moments she spend with him. I’m so happy that he can feel the love I’ve shown him and that I can get it back when I go over there and give him a hug, regardless of whether he recognizes me or not. He can feel the love I’m expressing, and that’s really nice because I still see a spark in him.

She added that she enjoys spending time with her daughter Louetta and spending time with the actor as a family. Williams was married to Demi Moore from 1987 to 2000, but he now lives with Rumer, Scout, 34, and Tallulah, Tallulah, 31. He later wed Emma Heming Willis in 2009, and the couple have two daughters named Evelyn and Mabel.

Emma has spoken openly about the impact of Willis’ illness on their younger children. “I think they’re doing well, all things considered, but it’s hard,” she told Vogue Australia. She added: “They grieve, they miss their dad so much. He’s missing important milestones, that’s tough for them – but kids are resilient, [although] I used to hate hearing that because people didn’t understand what we were walking through. I don’t know if my kids will ever bounce back, but they’re learning and so am I.”

Emma has also evoked her grief. She said, “I’ve had to learn to walk alongside the grief,” in a heartbreaking confession. It stays with me forever. I’m going to be sad, and I’m going to experience all of those feelings and emotions, but I’m also not going to allow it to just be that.

Willis was recently seen walking along the beachfront in Los Angeles while holding his caregiver’s hand in a rare public outing. The Die Hard star occasionally appeared sluggish, reaching for a railing for support, but he smiled while taking a stroll. The incident occurred one day after Moore had attended a New York charity event in his honor. Gillis was not present, and he has largely remained a distant relative since receiving his diagnosis.

Emma has previously confirmed that a full-time care team has moved into a separate one-story home. She claimed that the family needed to make the decision when she spoke about it. According to her, “It was one of the toughest decisions I ever had to make.” However, it was the right choice for him, for our girls, and for me among the sadness and discomfort. I may return to being his wife in the end. And that’s a gift in itself.”

She explained that Willis has also gained more independence and made frequented friends and family visits easier.

“It’s made a difference for more friends and family to experience him without having to leave it at home, without hovering, or having to deal with my anxiety about managing the guest and their expectations, and then having to watch their reactions – their dejection,” said one of the authors.

Areas of the brain that are related to behavior, personality, and language are affected by frontotemporal dementia. Memory loss is not always the first sign, in contrast to Alzheimer’s disease. Emmemma has described the strain of caring for others, forcing her to make changes.

She claimed that Willis’ neurologist warned her that about 30% of caregivers pass away before the people they are caring for, according to a statement on the HealSquad podcast. She remarked, “I really needed that to wake up. Everyone is being handled and doing this, and we are making appointments. We are making a lot of progress. Caregivers must be aware that you must care for yourself, that it is self-preserving, and that it is not selfish.

Meryl Williams, winner of the TV series Traitors, revealed how she used her prize money, which totaled a total of £100,000, to get cosmetic surgery.

Traitors winner Meryl Williams revealed how she spent a portion of her prize money on a forehead reduction surgery and boob job to address some of her ‘biggest insecurities’. The 28-year-old reality star, who was born with a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia, rose to fame on the first series of the hit BBC show, and shared the £101,000 prize pot with fellow winners Aaron Evans and Hannah Byczkowski.

Meryl, who had her first breast reduction as a teenager, revealed last year that cruel bullies frequently targeted her because of how unkind she looked physically. The former call center agent claimed in a particularly offensive scene that four teenagers began yelling insults at her and forced her to hide in a train toilet.

They boarded the train, and I sit next to them, and they have since said I need a step ladder to get off the train because I’m a midget and they have watched dwarf throwing,” she said in a social media video. They have taken photos and videos of me, they claim. They laughed at me because they claimed I had sausage fingers. They have said, “Excuse me,” and then they laughed at me as I looked up and stuck their tongues out at me.

She then urged people to “be nicer and kinder” to anyone who is “different or has a disability,” and said she typically avoided long trains in the event that she encountered abuse.

The young Scot, who underwent corrective spinal surgery in 2011, revealed a few months later that she had spent some of her money on forehead reduction surgery and that she had lost some of her followers. I wanted it for years, and it solved one of my biggest insecurities, my forehead.

Her posts included images of her forehead and face before the procedure as well as some “after” shots of her new profile. Before going into more detail, she explained that Dr. Greg Bran from the GBA London clinic stitched everything back together using a knife and a pin.

Meryl stated to The Sun that she wanted to “finally feel comfortable and proportionate in my own body” and that she wanted to feel “not a child and I want to feel sexy.”

Meryl revealed she signed up for the Claudia Winkelman-fronted show to raise awareness and alter the perceptions of her condition following her Traitors win.

“The whole reason why I wanted to go on the show was to raise awareness, a lot of people don’t think that I can do the same things they can,” “So I thought, if I go on and I do the same challenges that they all do, we all have a level playing field,” she said on Good Morning Britain in 2023. “A lot of the challenges people would ask if I got extra time and stuff and I didn’t. Even when I go out people think “Oh they can’t do this and they can’t do that” so I just wanted to show that I can do the exact same as everyone else.”

She also revealed that she planned to have her breasts enlarged and boosted again at the age of 16, but that she still embraced and “loved her body” as a result of her breast reduction. It will only help my confidence, she continued, “t I don’t feel like it will make a big difference to how I look physically.”
