Coronation Street star Lucy Fallon looked incredible as she stepped out to celebrate her 30th birthday. The actress – best known for her role as Bethany Platt on the hit ITV soap – partied the night away alongside her friends and footballer boyfriend Ryan Ledson in Manchester.

The soap star wore a striking crystal-embellished dress with cut-outs to the waist and a thigh-high slit for the glamorous outing. She wore her blonde hair in defined, sleek waves and had a full face of smoky-eyed makeup as she posed alongside Ryan.

Lucy carried a pearl and crystal bag and clutched her iPhone in her hand as she enjoyed drinks and dancing until around 3am. She was seen dancing with Ryan, 28, who wore an all-black ensemble with a white t-shirt layered underneath his shirt.

One onlooker said Lucy was dancing to tracks including Beyonce’s Crazy In Love and thoroughly enjoying her night before making a bleary-eyed exit. Lucy and Ryan are currently staying with his parents while their home near Ormskirk, West Lancashire, is being renovated.

The couple met on celebrity dating app Raya in 2020 after her split from fellow actor Tom Leech. Lucy and Ryan are now parents to two children after welcoming their first child, Sonny, in 2023, and their second in January of 2025.

She returned to her role as Bethany in July, just seven months after she welcomed daughter Nancy. The birthday celebration comes after she had to rush her baby daughter to the hospital late last month.

Taking to social media on Monday, Lucy revealed that her daughter had come down with a sickness bug, all while battling a series of sinus infections, as well as teething. Appearing in a pair of pink pyjamas and a dressing gown at home, she opened up about her chaotic weekend, admitting that she no longer “knows” who she is anymore.

The actress, who plays Bethany Platt on the ITV soap opera, said on social media: “I didn’t want to come on and be really attention seeking but here I am. We have had a weekend, haven’t we? We have had a weekend. It has been filled with sickness, and A&E visits and everything. I don’t know who I am anymore. But poor Nancy is literally so sick.

“Look at her eye, I just cannot. I cannot even cope, she has been vomiting, she has a throat infection, an ear infection and an eye infection. She has two top teeth coming through and a sickness bug, can you cope? But yeah, that’s just a reality check. Life comes at you really fast.”

Lucy panned the camera to her young daughter, who had a visibly inflamed eye as she sat on her mother’s lap. Lucy previously admitted revealed she was terrified to tell her bosses at Coronation Street when she fell pregnant for the second time.

She told The Sun: “I was in the green room with everybody and they were talking about story lines, and I felt tears falling. I called Caroline, our cast liaison, and she was like, ‘This [ pregnancy ] is good news. Why are you crying?’

“Then I went into the producer’s office in tears and she was obviously really nice about it. I’d built it up, thinking everyone was going to be so annoyed.” Lucy now only films for no more than two consecutive days, in order to be around for her children.

Netflix and K-Pop star Nana is said to have bravely fought off an armed home intruder who knocked her mum out during a physical struggle

A Netflix star is reportedly in hospital after she and her mum fought off an armed man who broke into their home.

Nana – who shot to fame as part of K-pop group After School in the Noughties – bravely confronted the robber who is said to have threatened them with a weapon and demanded money.

The 34-year-old singer’s mother was knocked out during the altercation, and both required medical attention after they sustained ‘serious injuries’ following the physical struggle, local police said.

It happened at their home in Seoul, South Korea, in the early hours of the morning. The pair were able to detain the man until police arrived.

A local detective told AFP news agency that the intruder, who is in his 30s, was attempting to steal cash and valuables and has now been detained on charges of aggravated robbery.

Giving an update on the condition of Nana and her mother, South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said: “Nana also sustained physical injuries while trying to escape the dangerous situation.”

“The mother has regained consciousness, and both of them are currently in need of treatment and complete rest,” the agency added.

Nana – whose real name is Im Jin-ah – first rose to fame back in 2009 with the popular K-pop girl group After School. This spawned sub groups Orange Caramel and After School Red.

The group is no longer active, but she has gained popularity over the past decade as an actor starring in several TV series, including Kill It and Justice, both crime dramas which first aired in 2019.

Then in 2021 she was cast in the Netflix series Glitch, a South Korean science fiction series about a young woman who teams up with a UFO enthusiast to search for her boyfriend who has mysteriously disappeared.

The K-pop icon is also said to be starring in the upcoming drama Climax and the Netflix series Scandals (tentative title), where she plays the role of Hui-yeon, a widow who vows to remain chaste after losing her husband.

Based on the 2003 Korean film Untold Scandal, it reimagines the story of the French novel Dangerous Liaisons and features a ‘dangerous love game’ between the characters. The drama is set to be released next year.

But music is still a passion as Nana released her first ever solo album in September.

Titled Seventh Heaven 16, it means ‘the highest happiness’ and she paid tribute to her mother as she she unveiled a new tattoo of the year 1968 – a tribute to her mother’s birth year.

I’m A Celebrity star Angry Ginge is relatively unknown to the public, despite the content creator having millions of fans online, and one celeb was left in fits of laughter after finding out his real name

View 2 Images

Fans are excited for I’m A Celebrity to return to screens tonight (November 16), especially after seeing who’s going on it after the full line-up was revealed earlier this week. Stars such as comedian Ruby Wax, actor and former pop star Martin Kemp, model Kelly Brook and TV star Jack Osbourne are all set to appear on the ITV show this season.

They’ll be joined by rapper Aitch, former Lioness Alex Scott, EastEnders star Shona McGarty, comedian Eddie Kadi and Emmerdale star Lisa Riley. However, one star of this series you may not have heard of is Angry Ginge. The 23-year-old content creator from Salford, rose to fame playing video games online.

With millions followers on social media, he predicts his fans will vote for him to take part in the dreaded Bushtucker Trials to make him squirm.

Now, as you may have guessed, Angry Ginge is not his real name. And one clip that has gone viral online is when one celebrity found out exactly what it is.

Football pundit Micah Richards was seen chatting to Angry Ginge in a clip that’s made it’s way to Reddit, as the content creator is heard telling him: “Next time you’re on Sky, you’ll just have to try and throw my name in there.”

Michah replied: “Angry Ginge,” before asking what his ‘government name’ was.

He told him it was Morgan as Micah burst out laughing, and exclaimed, “What?”

After Angry Ginge asked, “What’s wrong with that?”, Micah replied: “Deary, deary, deary me… Morgan?”

He then asked what his surname was, as he told him it was ‘Burtwistle’.

Again, Micah was in fits of laughter as Angry Ginge giggled along too.

Micah concluded the chat by saying: “Deary, deary, deary me Morgan Burtwistle.

Fans have been loving the clip on Reddit, with it getting 2,000 upvotes.

One person exclaimed: “This is hilarious. The way they both laughed had me.”

While another added: “Micah’s energy is always contagious, his laugh always gets me.”

A third chimed in: “Micah Richards is a national treasure.”

Despite being relatively unknown to the general public, Angry Ginge is currently backed to win I’m A Celebrity, according to the bookies.

A new book celebrating 50 years of the Rolling Stones reveals what it was really like being a rock and roll superstar in the 70s

Stealing his first guitar to break into rock ‘n’ roll as a penniless musician, Ronnie Wood is now sitting on a £150 million fortune.

But he stole his first Fender bass, saying:”I went round to a music store called Sound City and said, ‘If you let me borrow one for tonight, I promise I’ll come back?’

“But I didn’t go back, until five or six years later when I was in The Faces when I could pay them. I told them that I was the person who stole the Fender Jazz bass and I’d come back to pay them and they just smiled, and said: “We thought it was you!”

Celebrating 50 years with The Rolling Stones with a coffee table book alongside the re-issue of the band’s album Black and Blue – the first he recorded with them in 1976 – he continues: “I welcomed the chance to play bass, but I couldn’t afford one.”

Ronnie’s new book, Fearless: The Anthology, captures the whole shebang, from the clubs of Sixties’ London with The Birds, through his time as bassist with the Jeff Beck Group and co-founder of The Faces, and on to The Stones.

He shows off his vast collection of guitars and stage gear for the first time. These include a replica of his iconic Birds Op Art–customised white Fender Telecaster, the two Fender basses he played with the Jeff Beck Group, the Disc-Front Zemaitis he’s used since The Faces, and an array of Fender Stratocasters – his favoured instrument during his Stones years.

His collection of custom-made guitar straps also feature, alongside designer stage wear, plus concert set lists he has transformed into art pieces. Ronnie, 78, says: “People say “If you’re going to be successful at something, pick something that you enjoy doing. I love playing guitar and I love the challenge of learning something new. My guitars are the tools of my trade. They are really precious to me.”

Ronnie’s love of music was fuelled when he first saw Jeff Beck and The Yardbirds tear the famous Crawdaddy club apart back in the Sixties, while studying art at Ealing College. He recalls: “There were people swinging from the rafters and there was sweat dripping from the ceiling. It was so incredible the atmosphere. It was fantastic. I said to Jeff, ‘If you ever leave The Yardbirds shall we get together?’”

And in 1967 Ronnie joined The Jeff Beck Group on bass. Ronnie says: “I met Bo Diddley back in the Sixties at the 100 Club in London. He was topping the bill and The Birds were one of the support acts, but he didn’t have a band with him so he asked us if we could back him up. What made him so great was his freedom, his reckless abandon, and the confidence that shone through in his music. He could break and change a guitar string onstage without stopping the song.” After two years in The Jeff Beck Group, Ronnie quit in 1969, quickly finding himself alongside Rod Stewart, Ronnie Lane, Ian McLagan and Kenney Jones in The Faces.

Currently recording a reunion album with The Faces, he says: “I wrote Gasoline Alley for Rod and while The Faces were still going I wrote Every Picture Tells A Story. It all snowballed into touring in England, Europe and America and we carved our legend in America. I sing on Ooh La La. Everyone thinks it is Ronnie Lane singing but it is actually me. Nobody knows it is me singing, even Rod. He does not believe it.”

Ronnie reunited with Rod onstage for his legends slot at Glastonbury this summer, where they played the hit Stay With Me. Ronnie says: “Stay With Me is the Faces stamp song.” In 1974, Ronnie finally got to join the band of his dreams – The Stones – when guitarist Mick Taylor suddenly quit after five years. Ronnie says: “I just had the Stones in my sights. Like, ‘Right, this is where I am meant to be. This is all going according to plan. I don’t see anybody else’.”

And he was credited with taking the band in a new musical direction, as they set to work on their 1976 album Black and Blue, which saw the band embrace funk and reggae styles. Ronnie laughs, recalling how he almost signed his Stones contract the wrong way up. He says: “My driving force when I first came into the fold was Billy Preston, who played keyboards for the Stones. We had the same manager, Bob Ellis who was married to Diana Ross. He managed me, foolishly, and Billy foolishly. When I first met him he said “Ronnie, do you need a hand with that contract?” I said “Why?” And he said “You’ve got it upside down.”

Soon after, Ronnie bounced into the studio, saying he’d already added a Jamaican riff to the song Hey Negrita – later included on Black and Blue. He recalls the eight songs on the album as “eight crackers.” He says Mick Jagger chose to unveil him on a flatbed truck, as the band played an impromptu gig on New York’s Fifth Avenue. Before Black and Blue came out Keith said to me ‘I’ve got a great idea. Lets not tell anyone you are in the band.’

“Then I remember in New York turning the corner playing Brown Sugar. We had all the equipment set up on the back. We had all the press gathered in a restaurant and they thought the Stones were going in and we just drove by playing Brown Sugar and they were all running out of the restaurant with their pads.” He laughs recalling how Charlie Watts chose to wear a beloved Savile Row suit on a hot day shooting the Black and Blue album cover on a beach in Florida.

He says: “Normal beachwear for Charlie! Every request made of him that day he was not amused! And Bill [Wyman] was living the dream there in that very vampire-esque jacket.” Next year will see a new album from the Rolling Stones plus hopes of a European tour. And the band gathered at Metropolis Studios in west London earlier this year to record tracks for what will be their 25th studio album.

Produced by Andrew Watt, who helped their 2023 album Hackney Diamonds win a Best Rock Album Grammy, former bassist Bill Wyman featured, as did Sir Paul McCartney, Sir Elton John, Stevie Wonder and Lady Gaga. But Ronnie remains tightlips about further collaborations, teasing: “Andrew Watt adds a lot of spice and vitality and adventure. You know if you have an open mind anything can happen… and anyone can show up.”

After Strictly’s Ore Oduba admitted he had suffered from an addiction to porn for 30 years, Josh Lane, 26, tells how he, too, became hooked on adult content – and the devastating impact it had on him

View 5 Images

Josh Lane, 26, from Aylesbury, Bucks, became addicted to porn, aged 12, and by 15 was watching it for two hours every day.

He says: “I was in year seven at secondary school and a friend asked if I’d seen any porn. I went home and searched for it on my iPod Touch. Within seconds I found myself on a mainstream porn site, watching hardcore content. It was like opening Pandora’s box.”

Josh is speaking out in the wake of Strictly’s Ore Oduba’s admission that he first watched porn aged nine, and had suffered a 30-year addiction to adult content.

Oduba, 39, a father-of-two, who split from wife Portia in 2024, admitted to first watching adult content when he was nine and hiding his addiction from people close to him.

A new poll from the Children’s Commissioner, in which 70% of respondents said they had seen porn before they reached 18 – up from 64% in 2023 – shows he is not alone.

A quarter of those asked had seen it by the age of 11 – with a sharp rise in people seeing it accidentally on social media.

Josh, a youth leader at a local church, says he quickly became addicted.

“I consumed pornographic stories, pictures and videos,” he says, admitting to pleasuring himself.

He adds: “It felt good and I would keep chasing that high. I’d watch porn at night when I was supposed to be asleep. In the morning I would be tired and unable to concentrate at school.”

Josh kept his addiction secret from friends and family.

“I felt guilty and withdrew from those around me. I held everyone at arms length in case they found me out,” he says.

“It was a downward spiral. Because I wasn’t getting the intimacy I needed in my day to day life, I turned to porn even more. If all your pleasure is coming from porn, all the rest of your life feels dull.

“At my worst, at 15, I was watching it for at least two hours a day. I didn’t have any real friendships – I gave all my time to porn.

“I began to hate what I saw in the mirror too.

Hating everything from his skinny physique to the size of his penis, he adds he was “nothing like the men I saw on screen.”

Admitting that his addiction continued into adulthood, Josh continues: “I tried to stop, even telling my parents about it. They took away my phone at night to help, but I’d wait until they and my sisters were asleep and steal theirs to watch porn.

“Into adulthood, my habit destroyed romantic relationships, first because I was emotionally unavailable – too busy hiding my addiction from them – and then when I opened up, because they felt they could never measure up to the pleasure I was getting from watching porn.”

But in 2023, Josh began a relationship with family friend Jordi, 23, who is currently unemployed for health reasons, and in 2024 they married.

“Jordi has been incredibly supportive. Until last year I continued to struggle with porn consumption. A turning point came when she went away on a short trip. While she was there I watched porn. It was so painful telling her that I vowed there and then to stop.”

Josh, hasn’t watched porn now in over a year.

He says: “I’m tempted, of course. But I’m incredibly proud to be free from porn. When I’m not consuming porn it’s like night and day – I’m much more pleasant to be around, I feel lighter.”

And he’s keen to open up the conversation around addiction, like Ore Oduba.

“It’s amazing Ore has spoken out about his experience – there is life after porn addiction.”

While experts feel that 2023’s UK Online Safety Act has helped enforce age limits for adult content, to a degree, they feel more needs to be done.

Emma Motherwell, of the NSPCC, says: “Parents need to look for unexplained changes in [children’s] behaviour. Have they become withdrawn? Are they more secretive about their online usage? Be curious, rather than furious, and keep an open dialogue with your child about what they might see online.”

Cat Etherington, Director of Recovery at Naked Truth, says: “Very early exposure to pornography, especially when that exposure is unexpected or coerced, can lead to hypersexualised behaviour or curiosity beyond their age; avoidance or disgust around anything sexual; nightmares, anxiety, or intrusive imagery; dissociation or guilt about what they saw.

“Potential impacts include confusion, shame; unrealistic scripts about bodies, consent, and intimacy; and desensitisation to violence if the content is degrading.”

And parenting expert Kirsty Ketley warns: “Viewing pornography at a young age can affect a child’s emotional development, shaping unrealistic expectations of intimacy and body image. “Over time, compulsive viewing can desensitise them to real connection, create shame, secrecy and anxiety, and impact future relationships.”
