It was reported that the driver of the vehicle hit the actor when he turned onto West 53rd Street. Wenne is thought to have had right of way when they crossed the street.

Another friend of the actor, Edward Reynoso, told New York Daily News that the accident happened just hours after Wenne had told him they loved him. Edward said the actor told him: “I love you, I appreciate you.” He said it felt like they were saying goodbye.

He added that he became worried after not hearing from Wenne later that evening, stating that they always texted their friend when they left and arrived home. “I didn’t receive any text or anything and I found it weird,” Edward said. He later added: “I’m numb to tell you the truth. I can’t believe it.”

Wenne was best known for playing a police officer in the Amazon Prime series The Marvelous Mrs Maisel. They have also been in shows such as Blindspot and medical drama New Amsterdam.

The actor last posted to their Instagram in November, with a post dedicated to their family members who had served in the army. In the comments section, fans have posted their condolences. “Rest in peace,” said one fan. Another added: “Rest easy sweet person.”

Wenne was born 18 October, 1965, in Durham, North Carolina. They moved to New York to pursue stand-up comedy and worked as an actor as well as in security for John F Kennedy International Airport.

Their agent, Jamie Harris, told Metro: “‘I can only describe Wenne Davis as a bright light.” Jamie added that Wenne “had a huge love for New York, for acting” and, above all, their friends and family.

Davina McCall has married Michael Douglas in a romantic low key ceremony, just three months after they got engaged. The couple are said to have tied the knot on Friday in a ceremony attended by family and close friends.

Michael has been by Davina’s side throughout her recent health battles including a brain tumour and breast cancer. The pair are said to have married the day before they attended their friend’s larger wedding.

Davina has had a tough year but there was some joy when the pair got engaged in September. Speaking about their engagement, Davina confessed she nearly ruined his romantic proposal because she was “miserable”.

Speaking about the cliff-top proposal, she said: “It happened in Ibiza. What was quite funny was after after lunch Michael had booked a lunch which was like, not that usual on a beach and he wanted to take me to a beach where we’d been with all the kids before. So I was like, ‘Oh, this is really nice.’ And then he said, ‘Let’s go for a walk around the cliffs.’

“Now I’m in Ibiza right? When I’m in Ibiza, I dress for Ibiza, Chris. I’m in some god-forsaken cowboy boot, little pink cowboy boots with steel toe caps and I’m not in a cliff climbing outfit ….

“He recited something that was lovely and then he got down on one knee. But what was quite funny is he’d spent the year before getting down on one knee and tying a pretend shoelace. So I’d go, ‘Oh my gosh, he’s proposing’. And then he’d tie a pretend shoelace and I go, ‘Ah.’ So after four or five of those, it just became an in joke.”

Davina and Michael’s wedding was at a small venue, with just relatives and 10 friends in attendance.

A source told The Sun: “Their wedding was perfect, exactly what they wanted. They chose a small venue close to their home, and just invited about ten of their friends and relatives to be there with them.

“It was very intimate and everyone who attended is very special in their lives. They’ve been through a huge amount in recent months, with Davina’s health, and it just felt right to formalise their marriage. They didn’t see the point in waiting. The next day they just carried on with life as normal, and as coincidence would have it they were guests at another friend’s wedding day.

“So they went as a married ­couple for the first time and happily showed off her wedding ring. It was the perfect weekend.”

In September, Michael told The Mirror that they were happy as they were. He said: “There could be wedding bells on the way, who knows, I’m not going anywhere else if that’s why you mean. But we’re in no rush for any of that, we just enjoy each others company.”

Davina was previously married to Andrew Leggett from 1997 to 1999 and then married Matthew Robertson until their split in 2017. She has three children – Holly, Tilly and Chester with her ex Matthew.

The X Factor star, 66, has opened up about how his looks have changed in recent years, including how he shed three stone and what cosmetic procedures he’s had done

Do you want to know how Simon Cowell shed three stone and which cosmetic procedures he’s had done? The former X Factor star has opened up about how his appearance has changed in the past five years.

Simon, 66, has shared that he lost three stone thanks to a strict workout regimen and by cutting his daily calories down to under a 1000 daily. He said in a recent interview that he has dropped sugar, dairy, red meat and gluten from his diet after he was told by a dietician that his prior eating habits made up “the worst diet he’d ever seen”.

In a candid chat with The Sun, he said eats “the same thing everyday”, including a protein smoothie for breakfast and half a hot cross bun for lunch. He added that his dinner is at 4:30pm, so he goes 17 hours without eating afterwards.

He added that he has “never been tempted” to try weight loss injections and instead has a gruelling workout plan. He cycles daily and “everyday I do somewhere between 300 and 600” push-ups.

This is all in an attempt to live longer. “I age backwards,” Simon said. “So instead of being 66, I consider myself to be 64. Next year, I will be 62. I think I can live to 100. If I can remove all my stress, carry on with the diet, and you know, we’re discovering new stuff all the time.”

Though Simon has a restrictive diet, the NHS recommends that the average adult consumes 2000 calories a day and limiting daily calories to under 1000 is not considered a healthy way to lose weight.

Simon added that he has had “thousands” of Botox units, but dispelled the rumour that he’s had a facelift. He admitted that he has had filler, but shared that he later saw a picture of himself and thought he looked “like a real weirdo” and had it all dissolved.

The music mogul has recently been working on a new Netflix TV show called The Next Act, where he tries to find the next big boyband. Speaking on Good Morning Britain, Simon revealed that he almost stopped the show, due to changes in the music industry.

“”I almost pulled the plug,” he said. He then explained: “Things have changed so much. These boys are used to making music in their bedroom and now they’re in a live audition.”

The band, named December 10, are a seven piece group, made up of Cruz (19), Danny (17), Hendrick (19), John (17), Josh (17), Nicolas (16) and Sean (19). They are from Chorley, Rochester, Dublin, London, Lisbon and Walsall, and between them Irish, Brazilian, Indian, Nigerian and Jamaican heritage.

Sharon Osbourne admitted it had been a tough time for the whole family following Ozzy Osbourne’s passing, including their daughter Kelly Osbourne

Sharon Osbourne has revealed the devastating effect that Ozzy’s death has had on their daughter Kelly. Whilst Jack Osbourne has been busy in the jungle, Sharon and daughter Kelly have been cheering him on from home.

It has been a tough time for the whole family following the death of Ozzy Osbourne, who died earlier this year from a heart attack. For the first time, Sharon has opened up about the moment she found Ozzy dead and his final words he told her.

Jack spoke about his father during his time in the jungle and how his death was a huge shock. He shared: “It was definitely a shock, I mean we knew he was sick for a while but it was definitely a shock, I mean we didn’t know it would be that quick…

“It was the ultimate mic drop, he did a massive big gig and was like, alright I’m done … He’d be so supportive of this … I’m still navigating it all, it’s been three nearly four months and so it’s still pretty fresh.”

Jack also admitted there were moments where he would keep busy just to stop thinking about the sadness of losing his dad.

“It’s strange, too, because like I…I felt like I had to, like, a lot of it has been like, ‘I got…oh, I’ve gotta, you know, make sure the family’s good. I’ve got to, like, take on stuff. I gotta, you know, try and steer the ship a little bit through this,” he said.

“But it’s like having those moments in between that, like, ‘Must do something, must occupy, you know, this chaos with a task’, and when there’s no task, it’s like you feel that, like, slump, right? When you’re just kind of just being normal and not conducting anything. But yeah, it’s a trip.” Whilst Sharon and Kelly supported Jack in the jungle, Kelly has been struggling.

Speaking about her daughter’s weight loss, Sharon hit back at her critics, sharing: “She can’t eat right now … because she’s lost her daddy.” Addressing the trolls, she added: “It’s a shield for people that are unhappy.

“It’s a shield and jealousy and people’s perception of somebody else… And I just feel sorry for people, you know, something wrong with their lives. They’re not happy.”

Kelly has since spoken out to slam trolls who have criticised her over her changing appearance.

“First, I want to start by saying I received so many lovely, lovely, lovely, lovely comments from people that have really helped me get through this time in my life since losing my father. But I also receive some disgusting, horrible, mean, brutal comments, and I’m just here, sat, like, ‘What do you expect from me?’

“‘What do you expect me to look like right now?’ The fact that I’m getting out of bed and facing my life and trying should be more than enough and I should be commended for that. To everyone who is leaving these sick comments you need to take a strong, hard look at yourself because most of the things you are saying about me is how you feel about yourself.”

She added: “For example, you say that I look ill. Well, I am ill right now. My life is completely flipped upside down. I don’t understand why people expect me to bounce back and look like everything is just fine in my life, when it’s not.”

Jojo Siwa and Chris Hughes started dating shortly after they both appeared on Celebrity Big Brother in April 2025, and the Dance Moms star has said the show ‘kickstarted’ their relationship

Jojo Siwa has opened up about her romance with Chris Hughes, revealing what she does to ensure their relationship isn’t ‘stressful’. The former Dance Moms star met the Love Islander on Celebrity Big Brother in April this year.

As Jojo came third on the ITV show, many expected her to be booked and busy following the show, but Jojo has revealed that she will sometimes say no to TV appearances. Though her relationship with Chris is solid, she is taking all precautions to ensure it remains so, and will turn down TV opportunities if she feels it clashes with that.

Talking to The Sun, Jojo said: “Something important to both of us, is that nothing comes between us, is that nothing makes anything stressful or feels that we have to do something.”

The dancer is tipped to appear in the next series of Strictly Come Dancing, having already done Dancing With The Stars in the States. But the paper reported that she would only take up job offers if they didn’t jeopardise her relationship with Chris.

There has been a lot speculation and conversation about Jojo and Chris’ relationship since it became public. Some have questioned whether the relationship is real, as Jojo is ten years younger than Chris and she identified as a lesbian before doing the show.

However, Jojo has said that she and Chris don’t pay much attention to what others are saying. She said that there would always be speculation about “anyone who meets someone on television” but that she and Chris are “bobbing and weaving and ducking and diving” all the rumours.

She added that she felt meeting on the show “kickstarted” the relationship, even though they didn’t start dating until it ended. Jojo said she and Chris never “dated” in the traditional sense, highlighting that they didn’t do a “first date dinner”. Instead they did Big Brother, then had a month apart and then went to Mexico together and started dating.

Now, they spend most of their time together, which Chris has admitted involves a lot of flying. But he added that he loves flying out to see Jojo in America, as her father is “the older version of me”. According to The Sun, Chris and Jojo’s father, Tom, both enjoy playing golf together in Palm Springs.

This conversation happened shortly after Chris revealed that the run-up to Christmas would be the longest the two have been apart. While Jojo is in America, Chris is the UK and will fly out to be with his girlfriend after five weeks of separation.

Around the same time, Jojo’s ex Kath Ebbs and their new partner Tilly Lucas-Rodd fooled fans on TikTok by pretending to get engaged and flashing matching rings. Jojo broke up with Kath shortly after Big Brother finished.

EastEnders legend Anita Dobson has revealed that Queen won’t tour again – but an ABBA-style avatar show is on the cards.

Anita Dobson, 76, has just celebrated her silver wedding anniversary with Queen guitarist Brian May, 78. She told The Mirror: “They will do little bits and bobs, but they won’t do those big tours. We are all getting old.” The news comes a few weeks after drummer Roger Taylor, 76, confirmed: “We are resting at the moment.”

Pressed further on whether Queen would be “resting forever,” he added: “At one point we will be.” Meanwhile Brian, who had a minor stroke last year, also said last week that Queen weren’t talking about touring, adding: “I’ve done 50 years of it.” He said he was enjoying pursuing his interests in astrophysics and animal rights, as well as spending time with his grandchildren and his animals. But, to put fans’ minds at rest, he made it clear he was still making music, saying: “I love to play. Everybody knows I love to play.”

Anita’s bombshell revelations also come as singer Adam Lambert, who stepped into Freddie Mercury’s shoes – has been diversifying into musical theatre – giving critically acclaimed performances in Cabaret and Jesus Christ Superstar. But Anita, who rose to fame playing Angie Watts, landlady of The Queen Vic, in EastEnders, says fans may soon see the band performing Bohemian Rhapsody and other hits as they have never seen them before – as avatars.

Asked if they would be having an avatar show, like Abba’s Voyage – the highly successful virtual concert – she said: “Yeah talk has been happening. Of course it would work.” But she is not 100% sold on avatars, adding: “I have seen the ABBA show, except that it is a hologram. After a while, you are absolutely certain it is a hologram and I do miss seeing the people.

“There is no spontaneity, they can’t do anything different. What would Freddie [Mercury] make of it? Well, technology is getting more and more clever and futuristic.” But Anita has genuine doubts about AI technology.

“I don’t know how I feel about technology and AI,” she says. “In some ways it is wonderful for medical research, but in other ways I think it has taken away the desire for people to want to talk to each other.” And she fears that the lack of human interaction could damage our society. You see people glued to their phones. If we are not sociable then we are not a society anymore,” she said.

“I think it is killing a lot of interaction. I see children sitting next to each other on the sofa and texting each other and not talking. What is that about?”
