Larry Lamb opens up about health and ageing saying he is ‘done’ with old routine

Larry Lamb, a favorite of Gavin and Stacey, has opened up about his personal life and acknowledged that he is “done” with some of his career’s facets as he discussed how older he is.

Actor Larry Lamb has admitted that advancing years are taking their toll on his professional commitments as he discusses the challenges of managing back-to-back early morning calls.

The 78-year-old Gavin and Stacey legend, who divides his time between Britain and France, has opened up about his typical Saturday routine.

Speaking candidly to the Telegraph about his weekend habits, he revealed how he enjoys his midday meal before settling down for an afternoon nap.

Larry emphasized how important rest has become for him, saying, “It’s not unusual for me to spend the entire day reading. I frequently write to occupy my time.

“As I age, acting takes up so much energy,” I said. I’m done when I work at 5 a.m. on three days, which reduces the amount I can sign up for. “

There is no way there will be more Gavin and Stacey, he claimed regarding the beloved comedy series. That beautiful story was told by James [Corden] and Ruth [Jones] and they are now on their way. “

Larry also offered insight into his romantic life, describing his joyous single status and deep love for his children.

Further reflecting, he said, “I’m undoubtedly a happily single man these days.” Just an old bachelor boy, I am. The ladies are enjoying themselves now that it is too late. “

Larry has three children and is the father of four, including his son George, who successfully presents in television and has been married three times.

Last year, Larry candidly discussed his experiences with love in an interview with The Times, reflecting on the profound impact of his mother leaving the family home when he was just nine years old, which also affected his younger brother Wes.

He described his search for love in the revealing conversation as “distant from my mother’s desire to be in love,” adding, “I was obviously trying to be in love when I went deeper.” “

He continued, explaining how this early abandonment heightened a sense of loss, saying that there was always a risk that could never occur again. How exactly do you do that? You retaliate; you may be a contributing factor in the relationship’s demise. “

Prior to his more optimistic outlook this year, Larry said that he envisioned himself living alone for the rest of his life.

He said, “I’m much happier having my own life than I’m almost certainly going to disappoint,” while speaking optimistically about his current situation. “

Molly-Mae Hague reveals ‘we all have 24 hours in a day’ swipe led to sick death threats

Molly-Mae Hague, the star of Love Island, has apologized for her comments on the Diary Of A CEO podcast about “having the same 24 hours in a day.”

Reality TV star Molly-Mae Hague has said a remark she made about everyone having “the same 24 hours in a day” led to “hateful comments” and “death threats”.

In the second series of her show, Molly-Mae: Behind It All, the influencer and businesswoman, 26, who found fame on ITV dating show Love Island, discusses the backlash that followed her appearance in a 2022 episode of the Diary Of A CEO podcast.

She also speaks about the furore after she said in a YouTube video that she had not “done one social fun thing” in the summer, with fans pointing out she had been to Dubai and Wimbledon. In episode two of the Prime Video series, she says: “I was so frustrated with myself when I saw the comments about me saying, ‘I’m going to get to the end of this summer and not have had any fun.’

“And I fully understand why some people disagreed with what I said. The days are not the best when the world turns against you.

She continued, “I get really upset with myself when I say something that I think I should have said differently. I detest deceitful behavior. I try my best to put on a brave face, look good, and act professionally because it’s really embarrassing.

Reflecting on her comments in 2022, Hague said she has “accepted and realised” that what she said “was wrong”. “I have never spoken about that 24-hour scandal. I was so disappointed in myself that I’d made that mistake,” she said.” Twitter was huge at that time, and I was trending for weeks.”

In that statement, I genuinely meant nothing about malice. Because I had accepted and realized that that was wrong, I felt like I needed to hold my hands up so that I could upset so many people. Who has that level of anger inside of them to leave such hateful comments and make such hateful comments? Some of the things I’ve received in my inbox are just completely crazy. You would be completely shocked to see it.

After a short clip from the interview went viral on Twitter, now X, Hague was described by some on the social media platform as “tone deaf” and “Thatcherite”.

At the time Hague’s representatives addressed the controversy in a statement that said: “This part of the interview was discussing time efficiency relating to success. “Molly refers to a quote which says, ‘We all have the same 24 hours in a day as Beyonce ’. She was discussing her own experience and how she can resonate with this specific quote.

She keeps working hard to achieve more in her own life by saying, “If you want something enough, you can work hard for it.” Nobody else’s life or circumstance is being weighed by Molly’s commentary. She is limited to describing her own experiences.

In the documentary, Molly also revealed why she won’t wear her Tommy Fury engagement ring and what will need to be done to get it back. In 2019, the pair first met on Love Island. They become the ITV series’ most well-known and well-known romance. However, they split in August of that year after getting engaged to their daughter, Bambi. They are now living in separate homes in Manchester, but they are back together.

Speaking in the new series of Prime Video’s Behind It All, Molly-Mae says: “We’re back together, like we are, back together. But I don’t know what we are.

“I’m not wearing my ring yet because I’m not ready,” she said. Additionally, I kind of like that he gesture a little bit, yeah. Not to ask me again. That’s just like a lot, but it’s just a nice dinner or something to allow me to say, “OK, I’ll wear my ring once more.”

On October 18, Prime Video will exclusively stream Molly-Mae: Behind It All episodes one through three. The final three episodes will be available in early 2026.

David Beckham completely transforms Cotswolds garden and reveals sweet inspiration

The family’s Cotswolds home, which David and Victoria Beckham purchased in December 2016 for approximately £6.1 million, has become a secluded haven.

He may have grown up kicking a ball around a modest patch of grass in East London, but David Beckham has now transformed his countryside retreat into the garden he always dreamed of.

The former England captain, 50, has spent years cultivating a tranquil escape at the Cotswolds estate he shares with wife Victoria. Since buying the property nine years ago, Sir David has spared no expense turning the grounds into a lush haven – complete with vegetable patches, chickens, bees, and a selection of roses planted especially for Victoria and their youngest daughter, Harper, 14.

The garden’s current abundance of kale and onions, carrots and radishes, and other vegetables, is a far cry from Beckham’s childhood in Chingford. Although Ted and Sandra, his parents, Ted and Sandra, do not have a green thumb, Sir David claims that his grandfather’s love of gardening was born.

Every Sunday, Granddad Joe would tend the rosebushes at our house, and when he left, everything would look brand-new. Then he went back on Sunday, only to discover that all the football players’ heads had been kicked off the rosebushes.

I believe that his love for me sparked his rage. I showed interest in him and he guided me through everything he was doing, which is where my love of gardening came from, even if I hadn’t realized it at the time.

In December 2016, David and Victoria paid approximately £6.15 million for the Cotswolds home. Great Tew, Oxfordshire, is the location of the converted farmhouse.

The Beckhams have ruffled some feathers among their neighbors by requesting planning permission for an “agricultural storage barn for hay/straw and agricultural equipment.”

West Oxfordshire District Council has received a letter of objection from angry villager Harriet Jones, stating that this is just the latest in a long line of proposals to construct new structures on this land, as well as a large lake. Why do famous people leave their homes and build ridiculous structures before dumping their land in the country with endless buildings and making obscene improvements? It is illogical.

At their rural retreat, which includes a spa, swimming pool, and tennis court, Becks already raises bees and chickens. The lavish country home has floor-to-ceiling windows, exposed wooden beams, a stylish yet cozy lounge, and a large kitchen.

The duo also paid the £55 million in cash for a new nine-bedroom mansion in Miami last year. In Florida City, where they currently reside, are they already renting an 18-million apartment. The couple’s impressive property portfolio includes a £31 million townhouse in West London’s Holland Park.

Venezuela Fury, 16, reveals she’s still not met her in-laws – despite engagement

At her sweet 16th birthday party, Venezuela Fury proposed to her boyfriend, Noah, on the dancefloor, but she hasn’t yet met her future in-laws.

Venezuela Fury, who recently got engaged, has revealed that she hasn’t yet met her fiancé’s parents. After asking for Tyson Fury’s blessing, the 16-year-old’s boyfriend, Noah, asked her to marry him at her sweet 16th birthday party.

In the special moment, Noah was seen kneeling as mother Paris expressed her shock but joy for the young couple to the media.

The bride-to-be has since stated that she has no intention of getting married before meeting her future husband. She claimed that because her partner lives “a few hours” away from her, she hasn’t yet met his family.

Venezuela stated to The Sun, “I haven’t yet met his family.” So I’m anticipating seeing them. We only see each other on the weekends because he works and lives a few hours away from me.

We haven’t yet discussed where we’ll live once we’re married. Fans were shocked to learn that Venezuela had engaged as a teenager last month.

She continued, “It all came as a huge surprise. Because I was so surprised and nervous, I didn’t feel overly emotional because I realized how many people were watching me.

“It was probably one of the best of my life, even though it was very exciting.” However, if he had asked me to marry him anywhere, I would have been content. I was very happy despite the “big proposal,” which I didn’t care about.

Mum Paris has supported her daughter’s decision to get engaged when she was 17 when she herself engaged in the same way. She’s only 16 and engaged, but Paris has since said: “We are really happy for her and it’s her choice in life.” I can only say that I sincerely support both of them because they are so happy together.

Paris is hopeful that her second-born daughter will wait a while longer before starting a family of her own. Paris, age 35, gave birth to her first child when she was 19 years old.

She isn’t interested in becoming a grandmother until she’s thirty. She claimed that even at the age of 20, she “wouldn’t be comfortable” with having a grandmother.

The mother-of-seven explained that while her daughter is currently in the planning phase, wedding planning won’t start until at least the following year.

The Fury family has been open to the public about their traditional Traveller past, customs, and early engagements. Paris, 35, has previously discussed ending her education at age 11.

Venezuela’s daughter, Parisi, revealed that she didn’t want to pursue further education, preferring to stay at home and take care of family matters, and that she is also following her mother’s advice.

Paris and the couple’s family life was featured in their popular Netflix series At Home With The Furys, which increased the audience’s attention even further. She was praised by viewers for juggling having seven kids with keeping Tyson’s mental health issues.

Amanda Holden admits ‘they hate it’ as daughter complains about relationship bombshell

Amanda Holden, a member of The Celebrity Inner Circle, has admitted that Lexi and Hollie, her daughters, “hate it” whenever she mentions them in public.

Radio and TV host Amanda Holden has revealed that her daughters don’t like listening to her when she’s on the airwaves, as she often drops personal bombshells about family life.

Amanda hosts the Heart FM Breakfast Show with Jamie Theakston between 6:30am and 10am, and has confessed that her daughters are usually forced to tune in because her husband Chris Hughes puts the radio on in the car.

Amanda, 54, was telling the Tea at Four podcast about how she’s trying to bring up her daughters Lexi and Hollie to be strong and hard-working, before insisting they have no interest in what she does.

However, this doesn’t mean there haven’t been other incidents, like the one where Amanda mentioned her eldest daughter Lexi’s boyfriend’s name on television.

She continued, “I’m attempting to raise my girls to be strong and diligent.” They both seem to be pissed off with me all the time because they have no interest in anything I do.

When I asked my husband if they would watch her show, she responded, “Only because they wouldn’t, and they hate it because I mention them a lot.

“I entered the public with my daughter’s boyfriend’s name.” She said, “Mummy, did you get a mention this morning? She was like, she’s at uni.” Yes, I mentioned his mother, I suppose. I enjoy giving shoutouts.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge has urged her daughters to become resilient if they do want a career in the spotlight eventually.

The host of The Inner Circle recently told The Sun, “You do have to develop thick skin, and they both know that Mummy has one, and we take everything in our house with a pinch of salt.”

“I hope they have learned enough from me,” I said. Because, it’s obvious that they’ve been watching and hearing things, but they’re not entirely interested in me or my career.

Amanda has been managing her relationship with her daughters, but her overall family has grown exponentially since the arrival of her rescue cat in Cobham, Surrey.

The cat joins fellow feline Muffy and two rescue dogs, Minnie and Rudy, as part of the Holden clan. Sharing a photo of the new arrival on social media Amanda said: “Our lovely rescue from Corfu is settling down and the dogs are quite chilled! Princess Muffy has deigned to come downstairs a few times and sniff about but is still making her displeasure heard!

Because he is so quick, we gave him the nickname “Bolt!” And can stowah into the kitchen door, which we installed with a six-foot gate to protect him!

‘This new £7 glow-boosting skin tint instantly makes me look less tired’

Superdrug has a new, affordable skin tint that is foolproof to apply and instantly improves skin appearance, whether it’s tired or jet-lagged.

Always on the lookout for the perfect face base that keeps my skin looking radiant, bright, and even-toned while still looking completely natural, I enjoy trying out new foundations, tinted moisturisers, and skin tints.

There have been some pretty strong contenders launch this year for me – including Dior Forever Hydra Nude and Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint – but I’ve hit upon a surprising new contender – and it costs just £6.99.

For “instant glowing skin,” according to the high street make-up brand Collection Cosmetics, the lightweight and buildable face base containing niacinamide, squalane, and vitamin C has just been released. It costs £6.99 from Superdrug and Boots and is available in eight different shades.

I admit that I did have some reservations about how effective this might be because I love my skin looking the best it can with foundation and other face bases being one of the make-up products I don’t mind spending a little extra money on. I’ve been very impressed, though.

Although I always use a brush to apply makeup to my face, this also works really well with fingers because it can be easily blended and dabbed on just where you need it.

Instant glow is achieved in a flattering, all-natural manner, just as it’s supposed to be. When I first boarded a 16-hour flight, my skin was looking particularly gray and tired, and I immediately noticed a lot of improvement. Despite how good my skin looked, I occasionally caught my reflection throughout the day.

It felt very comfortable to wear, and I didn’t find that it grew creases or went over the years like I do with some skin tints.

Despite Collection’s claim that it “lasts up to 24 hours,” I discovered that it had a slight fade by the middle of the afternoon, as with most skin tints and light coverage products that give glow rather than mattify. I’m completely convinced that this is a great everyday face base for a great price.

Additionally, I’d like to see a few more shades in the range. There isn’t much at the darker end of the skin tone spectrum despite the fact that they are very flexible (meaning that the formula stretches over more shades than a fuller coverage product would) due to how sheer they are. (For reference, I wear shade 2 Fair.)

Our Mirror beauty team has tested a lot of different skin types this year, as well as some new favorites worth checking out. One of my best beauty launches of 2025 is Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Gel Tint, which is priced at £34. It has been a huge hit with beauty editors this year and lasts longer than most.

Our vote goes to Hourglass Veil Hydrating Skin Tint Foundation, £49, for something creamier and more hydrating, perhaps if your skin is more dry. They don’t come much nicer feeling than this, despite being expensive if you want sheer-to-light coverage. This feels incredibly hydrating on the skin without appearing overly shiny or dewy, which is more similar to a tinted moisturiser, IMO, but with a little more coverage and longevity.
