Pop star Jessie J made a stunning return to the red carper for Capital’s Summertime Ball as she rocked a mesh bodysuit paired with a black mini dress before her performance

Jessie J looked sensational as she made a return to the red carpet for Capital’s Summertime Ball. The pop star, 37, decided to share her cancer diagnosis earlier this month and spoke of her plans to have surgery after her performance tonight.

She revealed she has been diagnosed with “early breast cancer” and that she has spent a lot of her recent time “in and out of tests”. Jessie made a stunning entrance on the red carpet this evening as she stepped out in a mesh bodysuit paired with black mini dress.

The Pricetag hitmaker added a pair of chunky black heels as well as a silver broach on her chest of a hand pinching part of her dress. Jessie added a smokey eye paired with a nude lipstick and had her dark locks slicked back into a bun.

She beamed as she posed for photos ahead of taking to the stage later. Speaking just last week, the mum-of-one told her fans: “I was diagnosed with early breast cancer.”

“Cancer sucks in any form, but I’m holding on to the word ‘early’. It’s a very dramatic way to get a boob job. I am going to disappear for a bit after Summertime Ball to have my surgery, and I will come back with massive t**s and more music,” Jessie, whose full name is Jessica Cornish, shared.

After making the announcement, the much-loved singer shared a video on Instagram from her performance at London’s Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club, explaining that she was in a lot of discomfort but she didn’t want to cancel the show and let her fans down.

In the video, Jessie admitted: “I had 5 breast biopsies the night before this show. I was in some discomfort but so hyped to do it and I didn’t want to cancel.

“The more I watch this show back I can see my brain working in complete overdrive trying not to blurt it all out. Laughing and making jokes in hard times [handshake emoji] me. And I am in-fact under your bed.”

Nearing the end of her set, the singer said that she was in a lot of pain, but that she wasn’t going to let it get in the way of doing what she loves most. She joked: “I don’t know why I’m w**king off the mic. Okay, it’s time for me to end this set because I’m getting too wild.”

Jessie revealed she wanted to share her diagnosis with the public to help her process the news, and to show solidarity with others who are going through a similar experience. “I just wanted to be open and share it, ” she expressed.

“One, because, selfishly, I do not talk about it enough. I’m not processing it because I’m working so hard. I also know how much sharing in the past has helped me with other people giving me their love and support and also their own stories.

“I’m an open book. It breaks my heart that so many people are going through so much similar and worse-that’s the bit that kills me.” She continued: “The timing of it has been mad but also beautiful and given me this incredible perspective in this time.

“But honestly I need to process it and talk about it and, I need a hug. You have loved me through all my good and hard times. And I don’t want this to be any different,” she concluded.

The Love Island villa erupts tonight after the girls get to watch the boys unknowingly talk about them and date three new bombshells, with Helena stating she is ‘raging about the disrespect’

Love Island series 12 has already surprised islanders and viewers with twists and turns, including already dumping two islanders, but the villa is about to explode in a new teaser for the upcoming episode. After seeing three new bombshells enter the ‘boys night out’, the girls are fuming and it could be the last bump in the road for some couples.

The boys left the villa earlier in the day for drinks, but what they didn’t know was that the girls would be watching their every move on a giant TV back in the main villa. Shortly after they all established where they stood in their relationship, three new bombshells entered and caused a stir for the girls watching.

The three bombshells include 24-year-old teaching assistant Malisha from Broxbourne, Commercial Banking Executive Yasmin, 24, and Insurance Development Executive Emily, 24, from Aberdeen.

After the girls watched the other half of their couple flirt with the new bombshells, Helena was not best pleased and said: “My man basically saying I’m a massive red flag because of something I’ve done in the past and I’m a big party girl…?” Alima responds: “Double standards”. Helena continues and says, “I’m raging about the disrespect.”

But they don’t have long to debrief about the boys as suddenly their one-on-one dates start playing on the big screen and they rush back to secretly listen in to more chats.

Opening up to the new bombshell on what he is looking for, Harry said: “The main thing is ambition; someone that wants a family, I’m 30 and ready for it, I’ve got my s*** together.” Discussing Shakira, Harry adds: “Potentially there’s unfinished business, I think she knows that as well, it’s just not the right time. She has pride, she’s only 22, but she’s ahead of her years and has a lot of self-respect.”

Yasmin eagerly asks Harry, “Are you open to getting to know other people, or do you like what you’ve got with Helena?

The islanders then get a sneak peek into Conor’s date with bombshell Emily. Conor tells Emily: “Whatever I do, I wanna be respectful, I’m definitely going to get to know you…” Unknowing to Conor, this comment goes down well with the girls watching, with the other half of his couple, Toni, labelling him “My respectful king.”

Later, the boys and bombshells return to the Villa and spot the huge screen and quickly realise what’s been happening. The boys aren’t happy, to say the least, about the girls being a fly on the wall during their chats, as Dejon says, “boys chat stays in the boys chat!”

But it is too late for that as Helena has some beef with Harry about what he said during the boys chat, and Meg tells Dejon exactly how she’s feeling about watching his date, telling him: “You failed the test.”

Harry and Helena head to the terrace and she tells him: “I dunno where we go from here…I don’t know how we can move forward…” Meanwhile, Conor chats to Emily in the snug, as he tells her: “The vibe I’ve got, we’re on the same wavelength, everything you said – I want someone to look after me and listen to me – I feel like that’s me”.

*Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Fans were quick to point out a surprising detail in Cristiano Ronaldo’s new post as he posted a Father’s Day picture of him and his son showing off their toned physiques

Cristiano Ronaldo posed alongside his son, showing off his impressively toned body as a tribute to Father’s Day. And while at first glance many of his social media followers were enamoured by his amazing physique, other eagle-eyed fans noticed that he had painted his toenail black.

The Father’s Day post showed the iconic footballer dressed in nothing but a pair of red shorts as he flexed his muscles alongside his son.

He captioned the X post with a message in Portuguese that read: “Like Father, like son.”

However, it was soon noticed that his toenails were panted black, which created a huge discussion thread. Posting a picture of his feet one person wrote: “Why is he painting his toenails?” Another person said: “Painted your toe nails goat??” And a third person added: “Tf is this @cristiano?”

Explaining the reason behind his choice of painting his nails black, one follower on the social media platform said: “Cristiano Ronaldo paints his toenails, particularly with black polish, for practical, health-related reasons, not for fashion.”

They added: “The practice is inspired by combat sports athletes like MMA fighters who use it to protect their nails from cracking, splitting, or fungal infections.”

Last month, Cristiano praised his son Ronaldo Jnr after the 14 year old made his international debut playing for the under 15s in Croatia.

Taking to social media, the legendary footballer, who has played for a string of high profile clubs including Manchester United, wrote: “Congratulations on your debut by @selecaoportugal, son. Very proud of you!”

Following three series of the reality TV show which gave fans an insight into her luxurious life, model Georgina Rodriguez had earned an estimated eye-watering sum of £22million.

Speaking to Vogue Arabia confirming the cancellation of her show, she said: “The reality show has been one of the most important professional experiences and the one that has made me the most excited. It has been a lot of work and requires so much effort.”

She added: “I think that it has given me the opportunity to show the real ‘me’ to the world. “

She went on to say: “It has been the most important and large-scale project that I have done so far. However, at the moment, I do not plan to continue with the reality show.”

Danny Jones’ wife Georgia has hinted things may be getting back on track for the couple following the Maura Higgins kiss scandal at the Brit Awards

Danny Jones’ wife Georgia has posted about him for the first time since THAT Maura Higgins kiss. The 38-year-old, who shares seven-year-old son Cooper with McFly star Danny, 39, paid tribute to her husband on Father’s Day.

Sharing a snap with her own dad first, former Miss England Georgia then shared a sweet snap of Cooper hugging dad Danny. She cutely captioned the post: “For the Dads. Happy Father’s Day.”

It’s the first time Danny has appeared on Georgia’s grid since he was spotted kissing his I’m A Celebrity co-star Maura at a Brits after party back in March. Danny, who has been married to Georgia for over a decade, issued a grovelling public apology after the drunken snog.

In a statement, he said: “Hello everyone, sorry it’s taken me a while to post this but I’ve taken some time out to be with those closest to me. I want to deeply apologise to my wife and family for putting them in this situation. I love them so much and we’ll continue to deal with this privately.” He added to fans: “I love you guys, thank you for your patience, understanding, and support. See you all soon, Danny.”

After the Maura kiss came to light, Georgia temporarily moved out of their family home. Insiders claimed that the entire ordeal has been “embarrassing” for the mother-of-one, who tied the knot with Danny in 2014.

Back in March, a source claimed that while “they may still be married, they are not together and she is still working out what she wants to do.”

But it’s thought Georgia is now back living in the family home in West London and has returned to host her podcast, Mum’s The Word! with pal Kelsey Parker.

A source told the Mirror in April: “Georgia is returning to face the music after weeks away. She took some time for herself after the incident blew up but now she’s ready to talk.”

“This wasn’t some grand gesture where she suddenly packed her bags and left. It was just a girlie few nights at a close pal’s flat. Yes, she wanted some space,but she is home now,and while things are still fragile, they are trying to work things through,” a separate source confirmed.

Danny, on the other hand, is reported to be keen to work things out and get his marriage with Georgia back on track. “He has made it clear he will do anything to make it work. He loves Georgia and wants their marriage to get back on track,” a source told The Sun.

Last month Danny skipped an appearance at the BAFTA TV awards after it was rumoured Maura would be there. The 34-year-old made a return to the spotlight on the BAFTA red carpet.

Though Maura has remained tight-lipped on the kiss, a source told The Mirror that Maura had been in a “bad way and really struggling”. They said: “Maura is a tough character but the reaction to events has been utterly relentless, and it’s fair to say it’s taken its toll.

“She has found all of this very difficult to navigate. She appreciates she’s in the public eye and there is extra interest around her, but the abuse is off the charts, and people need to calm down. She is trying to treat things as business as usual, but it’s hard.”

EastEnders star Jamie Borthwick is currently suspended by the BBC after using a disabled slur when he appeared on Strictly Come Dancing

Jamie Borthwick is said to be “attempting to right the wrongs in my life” after being suspended by the BBC. The EastEnders star was giving his marching orders after it emerged he’d used an offensive disabled slur while appearing on Strictly Come Dancing.

The 30-year-old actor has since apologised for using the derogatory word to describe locals in Blackpool, where Strictly filmed their special ballroom episode six months ago. It’s reported footage was made of Jamie using the word, which was then sent to one of his friends.

Issuing a grovelling apology last week, Jamie said: “I want to apologise sincerely and wholeheartedly for the words I used in the video showing my reaction to making it through Blackpool week on Strictly.

“I am deeply sorry for any offence and upset my words and actions have caused. It is no excuse, but I did not fully understand the derogatory term I used and its meaning. That is on me completely. Now I am aware, I am deeply embarrassed to have used the term and directed it in the way I did. It was wrong.”

In a last ditch bid to clear up his act, Jamie is reportedly set to meet with BBC bosses in the hope he could get his EastEnders job back. He’s starred as Jay Brown in the long-running BBC soap since 2006.

But in texts to an ex-partner, The Sun reports the star as saying he’s had time to reflect on “decisions that have led me here”. And at the moment it’s still “not clear” if he will keep his job.

A source has claimed Jamie told the ex: “I accept the karma that has come my way due to some bad choices”, adding: “Had I the opportunity to turn the clock back I would do so and do everything differently.”

He went on to say he is “attempting to right the wrongs in my life” and “want to sincerely apologise for the mistakes I made and for hurting you and how I handled the whole situation.”

It’s not the first Strictly scandal Jamie has been involved with since appearing on the show. Footage reportedly emerged of him brandishing a sex toy sent to him by celebrity co-star Go Compare opera singer Wynne Evans, who has also found himself under fire for his behaviour on Strictly.

The inappropriate video was said to have been shared in a messaging group with other Strictly stars, who it is suggested did not expect nor want to be included in an exchange that had a sexual connotation. The clip is thought to have been filmed just two days after Wynne was recorded making a sexualised comment about pro dancer Janette Manrara.

Wynne, who was a BBC Radio Wales presenter, has since been dropped by the BBC following an apology saying that he used “inappropriate language” during the launch of the Strictly Come Dancing tour.

Speaking about Jamie’s suspension, a BBC spokesperson said: “This language is entirely unacceptable and in no way reflects the values or standards we hold and expect at the BBC. We have robust processes in place for this.”

Coronation Street star, Kym Marsh, has shared some ‘thrilling’ baby news with her followers after calling it quits with her ‘soulmate’ boyfriend, Samuel Thomas, this year

Kym Marsh has got some exciting baby news after revealing her daughter Emilie, 27, is pregnant. The Hear’Say star, 49, who is set to become a grandmother for the fourth time, shared the happy news four months after she called it quits with her boyfriend, Samuel Thomas, 30, who she previously described as her ‘soulmate’.

Taking to Instagram, posting a snap of her grandson and granddaughter proudly holding a baby scan, sporting Big Brother and Big Sister t.shirts, Kym wrote: “I am so thrilled to share the news!!! Grandchild number 4… incoming!!! Congratulations to my beautiful daughter @listentoemilie, my wonderful son in law @mikeyhoz and Teddy and Polly!! Can’t wait to meet you little one!”

Responding to the post, one of the actress’ followers replied: “Congratulations to Emilie, Michael, Polly and Teddy. So thrilled for you all.” While a second added: “The best news, so happy for your family.”

Kym, whose son, David, also has a child, first became a grandparent when she was 42. However she admitted she didn’t relish being called ‘Grandma’ and so changed it to Yaya on grandson Teddy’s request before finding out the name was Greek for ‘grandma’.

Speaking to CBeebies about her family, she said: “I always knew I would be a young grandparent because of how old I was when I had my children.

“I was 42 when I found out I was going to be a grandparent. It still came as a bit of a shock but I was so excited.

“Both me and Emilie’s dad were thrilled to bits. Then, of course, meeting Teddy was on another level.”

She continued: “I’m still a very busy person, but as a grandma I try to make as much time as I can. I like to think they will all grow up knowing that, even though I’m busy, I will always be there for them.”

Kym’s baby news comes four months after she called it day with actor, Samuel, who she met while performing in 101 Dalmatians The Musical. Despite referring to the 30-year-old as her ‘soulmate’, Kym split with her co-star after six months.

The mum-of-three, who has been married three times, met Samuel after she split up from her third husband, Scott Ratcliff. Fans thought Samuel, who is the same age as Kym’s eldest child, David Cunliffe, may propose. But now it’s all over, with Kym insisting she’ll never walk down the aisle again.

Talking to the Independent about her future plans as she got ready to star in a theatre production of Abigail’s Party in April, playing Beverley, she said of the seventies – when the play was written: “You were expected to get married back then. It was almost a little girl’s dream.

“But not for Kym Marsh. I’ve been married three times, and three times it’s not gone well – so no more for me. Three strikes and I’m out.”
