Georgia Harrison, the star of Love Island, revealed in an Instagram video that she is expecting her first child. The 30-year-old made headlines online by posting a video of herself holding her child.
She wrote, “Have a great Halloween everyone. That’s the question, then, “Trick of Treat”? Georgia was seen in the Addams Family theme song throughout her various pregnancy stages, with the reality star clicking her fingers for each transition.
The clip ended with Georgia holding her newborn baby, who was wearing a seasonally appropriate pumpkin hat, after showing off various sizes of her pregnancy bump.

Just 10 months after meeting boyfriend Jack, 33, on a dating app, Georgia announced in April that she was expecting her first child. You become aware when you become aware. She told The Mirror at the time, “I know it’s cringey, but that’s definitely how we feel.”
“Anyone who knows us is aware of our strength and happiness.” Although some may think it’s too soon, we both knew we both wanted children, and we are thrilled to see this wonderful news.
Georgia received an MBE earlier this month for her efforts to support stronger laws addressing violence against women. She became the first Love Island star to receive the distinction.
After her ex-partner Stephen Bear shared surveillance video of their sexual encounter without her knowledge, Georgia set up a campaign with the Thames Valley Police to encourage people to talk about consent. In 2023, Bear was found guilty of voyeurism and two counts of making false information public about sexually explicit photos and videos.

The Love Island star said she hoped “girls can look at me and think “she went in there and done, she was strong, we can do it too” when she pleaded with other victims of sexually-based crimes that she stood with them.
Georgia described being appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Prince William at Windsor Castle in an earlier statement about her MBE.
“I’m very appreciative, and I’m going to be 100% more aggressive with my campaigning.” And given that I will be given this responsibility, it will be something that will really motivate me to continue to inspire change for women everywhere.
I’m feeling thrilled. Simply put, I was unaware of how magical the occasion would be. I was so happy to learn that Prince William was the one.
I had been anticipating that he might be one of the recipients, and I had actually discovered that when I was receiving the award, that he had been so invested in my efforts and had been keeping track of my story, which really meant a lot to me.

Five have begun a reunion tour.
A huge music star has decided to quit Five’s reunion tour after missing the first show this week. The boyband kicked off their tour on Wednesday in Cardiff.
However, huge musician and I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! contestant Naughty Boy was nowhere to be seen after signing up to be the band’s support act. He was due to open for Five and get the crowd going with his hits La La La and Runnin’.
Naughty Boy, whose real name is Shahid Khan, expressed his “deep regret” over having to leave the tour. He stated that he cannot travel with Sean Conlon, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson, Abz Love, and Jason J. Brown on their Keep On Movin’ 2025 tour.

Naughty Boy wrote, “This wasn’t an easy decision, and I think you should believe it.” I made an effort because I wanted to share the stage with the boys and see you all, but it wasn’t.
For any inconvenience that may have been caused, I sincerely apologize to Five, my team, and all the amazing fans. Thank you. The tour will be fantastic, and I’m looking forward to seeing everyone when I’m better.
Back in March, the music star was announced as Five’s support. Fans were disappointed when he failed to show up on stage on Wednesday night, leaving him there.
As Naughty Boy’s fans gathered outside the arena to watch him perform, it is said that all of his equipment was waiting for him.
Five rekindled their support earlier this year by announcing their comeback following their breakup in 2001. The group has since reconnected in various ways over the years, and they have been performing as a trio consisting of Ritchie, Sean, and Scott.
The group announced the news on social media by writing, “It’s true, the five of us are reuniting for a tour across the UK! We’ve been waiting for this for a long time, and it now feels right for everyone – 25 years later, we’re so excited about it.
“We really can’t wait to get back on stage together and see you all in person, it’s gonna go OFF!! Let’s goooooo!” Speaking to the Mirror about the reunion, J admitted the ball first got rolling for him when he started speaking to Abz and Sean after more than 10 years of silence.
J can happily admit that, for the first time since 2001, things just came together naturally while Ritchie and other members were in talks. There was much more at stake, Scott admitted, “We didn’t care about a tour at first.”

“Reconnecting as humans was everything we cared about.” That was, in my opinion, first and foremost”. The group met at an AirBnB ten years later, and Scott gushed of the moment, “Obviously I had such an amazing experience back in the day.
We can go on tour and do it as friends, for me personally, and I know that’s all we wanted to do, reconnect with them in AirBnB, and then reconnect on that friendship level. Then I realized when the job was offered that, for all the right reasons, we could actually accomplish that.

Paul O’Grady’s friend and producer, Malcolm Prince, has a remarkable new book about him, which brings fresh perspective to his life with gripping new testimony from his friends, family, and famous friends.

Even when faced with a life-saving heart operation, Paul O’Grady’s first thought wasn’t for himself – it was for everyone else. His close friend and producer Malcolm Prince has revealed how in the final months of his life, the star refused an implantable defibrillator because he didn’t want to let anyone down.
“He’d signed up to do the musical Annie, he signed up to do the dog show, “ Malcolm tells the Mirror. “He didn’t want to go back into hospital to have another procedure and then spend time recuperating. He wanted to get on and live his life but also work. He didn’t want to let people down.” Ultimately, the device could have saved his life.
Paul, who had a history of heart problems, eventually died from a sudden cardiac arrhythmia on March 28, 2023. But the TV star had been adamant he didn’t want the medical intervention. A few months earlier, Paul had spent a week in William Harvey Hospital in Ashford, Kent, and the thought of being sidelined again was unbearable.
He simply wants me to have a defib, he wrote in a text message to his daughter Sharyn. But I’m having none of them in any way. He’s being too cautious, and I’m not even close to as bad as he was.
His manager and close friend Joan Marshrons had a lengthy explanation of the procedure to Paul. But he couldn’t be persuaded. He worried about his own body let him down in the past few years, according to Joan. He would have felt embarrassed about it all because he didn’t want to be in front of the camera or in front of the audience when the pacemaker kicked in, and I believe that’s why he wouldn’t have the pacemaker.
The final few months of Paul’s life are featured in Malcom’s extraordinary new book Paul O’Grady – Not The Same Without You which is being serialized by the Daily and Sunday Mirror. It was written with the blessing of Paul’s daughter Sharyn and features candid testimony from his family, as well as Paul’s friends, colleagues, and celebrity friends.
Remarkably, for a man who was so open about many facets of his life, the book sheds fascinating new light on the star, who held a special place in the heart of the public. “It would have been his 70th birthday this year, and I feel ready to tell his story, and I hope I’ve done him justice,” says Malcolm who sat alongside Paul for 14 years on his BBC Radio 2 show.
Paul frequently used humor to lighten the storm’s path. Malcolm recalls how he joked that using a defibrillator would prevent an electronic garage door from opening automatically when walking past.
However, it seems as though his mind was made up, Malcolm writes. Paul also gave the impression that his time was limited. Moira Stewart, Paul’s lifelong friend, recalls a conversation that occurred in the car on the way home following his hospital visit.
He told me, “I’m not going to be here for much longer as we were driving along the lanes back home.” I pressed him to explain what the doctors had said to him after speaking with him and asked what he meant. He just responded, “That’s it. That’s it,” as I placed my arm around him while he was contemplating. I believe I won’t stay here for very long. He made a similar statement to Malcolm in a subsequent phone call.
Because he calmly ended our conversation, “I won’t make old bones, Malcolm,” I’ll never forget it.
Paul was referring to “not knowing what was around the corner” in a conversation about the passing of a close friend of Malcolm even weeks before his passing.
According to Malcolm, “Paul joked about his own age and how he wouldn’t be surprised if his own exit was “earlier than later.” Paul and Paul discussed their will at their final meeting on Paul’s death, saying it “seen just hanging in the air.”
Paul may have had an eating disorder, the book explores for the first time. I probably hadn’t noticed it until some of the people I’d spoken to expressed it, Malcolm says. “But it makes sense.
Incredibly, it may have stemmed from trying to remain slender as his alter-ego Lily Savage. His make-up artist Vanessa White recalls: “I think it all stemmed from his days with Lily, when he was wearing corsets, and he had to be slim.”She adds: “He was a very tricky eater, and on filming trips with him, I would always take a box of Weetabix, just in case, because often he just wouldn’t be able to eat anything.”
Similar patterns were observed by other friends. According to Amanda Mealing, “Food was a necessity, and he didn’t particularly like] having to eat it.” “There was something about food that was difficult for him,” Morera continued. He claimed that Chrissie, his aunty, was probably anorexic, a significant influence in his early years. And Paul either ate too much or ate too little. Paul O’Grady’s Great Elephant Adventure, one of his final TV appearances, came out in 1992 as evidence of his declining health. Vanessa vividly recalls that trip.
“Paul was literally and literally gray, and he was unable to walk from the plane to the lounge, where we had to wait for another six hours while we waited for the connecting flight to Laos. She said that he was “so thin and looked so sick.”
TV star friend Alan Carr recalled seeing him not long after, and shortly before he began rehearsals for Annie. “I had seen him recently for dinner and he looked frail and, for once, he looked his age. I mean, his wit was still intact, and he was funny, joking and quick as a whip as always, but I did think he looked a bit fragile… his spark had gone, so I was shocked to hear he was doing Annie,” Alan says. “But it was a calling for him, and I know how much he enjoyed getting out there and entertaining; getting that response from a live audience was his lifeblood.”
However, during their final meeting, Paul was eagerly planning his upcoming projects after seeing that spark again. That was amazing to see. And I was there pondering, “Well, I was wrong.” He enjoys working with Annie. I was like, “Wow, he has more energy than I do.”
On November 6th, Malcolm Prince’s Paul O’Grady: Not the Same Without You (HarperCollins, £22) releases.
A TV legend joined him on stage as he belted out the Beach Boys classic “God Only Knows” at the glitter-studded event at the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead.

Pop superstar Sting was joined on stage by Jimmy Nail at a glittering party to help raise £10m for the arts on their native Tyneside. Sting, 74, and Jimmy, 71, belted out the Beach Boys classic ‘God Only Knows’ at the £1,000-a-head star-studded do at Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead. Artist Jim Moir, aka Vic Reeves, his wife Nancy Sorrell, Alan Shearer, and Sting’s siblings Angela and Philip were on the guest list to hear a collection of his hits. Artists Damien Hirst, Antony Gormley and Anish Kapoor donated their work for a charity auction. There was also a holiday up for grabs at Sting and his wife Trudie Styler’s home in Tuscany, Italy, which raised tens of thousands of pounds at auction.
Vic Reeves, 66, aka the artist Jim Moir, told the Mirror: “I am going to butter him up so I get an invite and see if we can go to his place in Italy. I’ve got some Lurpak in my back pocket.”
Before performing the songs, Sting explained the origins of the songs, including his hits “Englishman in New York” and “Every Breath She Takes,” which Sting eluded as inspiration for his romance with Trudie.
He persuaded him to perform as he introduced Jimmy Nail, who had also been ill with a bug, and made fun of the fact that he had “been around to see a mate who was on his deathbed.”
Sting’s voice is still incredible, according to a customer who spoke to the Mirror. It’s amazing to experience being so close and personal.
“The holiday at his place was listed at less than $90,000, which is what we paid for.” The event will have raised hundreds of thousands for a worthwhile cause.
Before the performance, Jim Moir revealed how he met Sting because the singer had a “hot toddy” to protect his voice before the performance. The Sage founder Graham Wylie and other local business figures, including singer Nadine Shah, sat down with the stars.
In the Carabao Cup final on Wednesday, Sting and Shearer, 55, watched Newcastle United defeat Spurs 2-0. It’s always good to see a win, according to the England legend. He was fantastic at a fundraiser for my charitable foundation. He is a wonderful man.
After the gig, Sting said: “When I was a kid my Dad used to bring me down to the quayside on a Sunday morning and I’d look at this building and wonder what it was. “If we lose cultural venues due to a lack of funding, the entire industry disappears, so I’m here to say we have to protect the Baltic. This area is a hotbed of talent and it needs to be encouraged.”

The Gala marked the beginning of our effort to establish a £10 million endowment fund for Baltic, said Sarah Munro, director of Baltic. Everyone in the room was reawakened poignantly of the value of creativity, culture, and the arts.
A host of celebrities have already dressed up in their best costumes, from gothic glamour to pop-culture parodies, for Halloween 2025…

Sophie Habboo and Jamie Laing, who demonstrated that a pair who dress together can live together, were in charge. Fans were enthralled when the former Made in Chelsea duo switched to tongue-in-cheek costume duo Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker, who had fans glued to their costumes.
With a theatrical take on classic horror, Paloma Faith incorporated her signature eccentricity, bringing couture to life with Creature Feature.

Prunella Scales, the star of Fawlty Towers, passed away on Monday at the age of 93, along with All Creatures Great and Small star Samuel West, both of whom remembers their most recent conversation.

In 1999, Prunella Scales, Sam West, his mother, and his father, Timothy West, were together.
Prunella Scales’s son, Samuel West, has opened up about his mum’s final years battling dementia, revealing that their last ‘proper conversation’ took place two years ago. Despite her health decline, she was able to have a chat with Queen Camilla last year, but Samuel noted that her ability to communicate deteriorated significantly afterwards, making it difficult for him to converse with her properly.
Prunella died on Monday at the age of 93, less than a year after the death of her husband, the iconic actor Timothy West, who was 90. She first experienced memory issues in 2001, but it wasn’t until 2012 that she was diagnosed with her specific type of vascular dementia.
Three years ago, the Fawlty Towers legend celebrated her 90th birthday at her home in south-west London by enjoying Sam’s 6,500 birthday greetings.
Her eldest son, who was only two days away from her death, recalled a day when she celebrated her 90th birthday in an interview that was conducted just two weeks before her passing. A lovely poem was written by my brother.
Speaking on the Rosebud podcast with Gyles Brandreth, Sam continued: “I put out a message on Twitter a few days before saying, ‘My mum’s going to be 90, anyone who wants to send her a message I’ll make sure she gets it.’”
“I bound a book of responses that came in at 6,500.” She flicked through the 110-page book, which she enjoyed and wouldn’t recall, of course, now that they have removed everything but the messages.
However, it was actually quite beautiful at the time. How old am I when she asked me a question a few years ago, and we had the last genuine conversation. And I said ‘ You’re 91 mum’. And she said ‘ 91? F*ck. ‘ beautifully timed and beautifully enunciated. Although the conversation we had was not entirely finished, it might well have been the last to have any real significance.
Nevertheless, Gyles disclosed that at a function he organised last year, which Queen Camilla attended, the severity of Prunella’s condition wasn’t apparent to onlookers. The gathering took place in Rye, East Sussex, at E. F. Benson’s former residence – the author behind the Mapp and Lucia tales that were later televised with Prunella featuring in the original adaptation.
Gyles recalled that “Queen Camilla arrived, and what was interesting was that your mother appeared to recognize her.” They undoubtedly had a happy chat and two kisses, and she laughed at the jokes if you hadn’t known.
Sam revealed that despite his mother’s 90-year-old father’s passing last November, she still managed outings and continued to sleep upstairs at home after the addition of a stairlift. Sam’s mother needed round-the-clock care and had lost her actor husband Timothy West.
She explained that she only recently saw my eight-year-old sing at St. James’s Piccadilly, the same church where my father’s memorial was. And the photos I have of them together clearly show how much they both enjoy each other’s company.
She’s never really been angry or anxious, as a dementia sufferer, he continued. She seems to be quite content, which is unusual considering the possibility is that it could be worse. We have been able to purchase medication that stops the disease’s progression for nearly 25 years because of our stable finances.
“My father’s loss of his best friend and her loss of humor are the hardest things,” my father said. They were constantly able to laugh at one another. My parents’ marriage resulted in two significant blessings. They each worked roughly the same amount of time, and they each had the same length of unpaid work.
According to a statement from her sons Samuel and Joseph, the beloved actress passed away “peacefully at home in London” after watching Fawlty Towers the day before her passing.
She continued to live at home, even though dementia forced her to retire from a remarkable acting career that spanned nearly 70 years. Pru and Timothy West were 61 years apart. In November of this year, 2024, he passed away. She is also survived by four great-grandchildren, seven grandchildren, and two stepdaughters.
“We would like to thank everyone who assisted Pru in ensuring that she spent her final days peacefully, lovingly, and surrounded by love.”

This year marked 50 years since the storied comedy show’s debut season, when Fawlty Towers won the Bafta for best scripted comedy in 1976. The late Andrew Sachs played the bumbling Spanish waiter Manuel in the series, and Connie Booth, the show’s maid, played Polly.
