The pair have had a long-term fight ever since they appeared in 2017’s Celebrity Big Brother, though the full extent of their hatred for one another came out in a Loose Women bust-up

Coleen Nolan and Kim Woodburn had one of the most furious arguments ever to be seen in Loose Women history. The How Clean is Your House? star was brought on the show to try and build bridges with Coleen after the two clashed repeatedly during their time in the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2017.

An ITV daytime reunion culminated in Kim yellow, crying and storming off set, while panelists Janet Street Porter, Linda Nolan and Linda Robson tried to defend their friend Coleen in the heated row.

Prior to the Loose Women showdown, Kim had gained a reputation as one of the UK’s most outspoken and explosive reality stars thanks to her appearances I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Celebrity Big Brother where she really left her mark.

During her time Celebrity Big Brother Kim had a pretty difficult time, and came out saying her fellow housemates ‘bullied her.’

She was at the centre of a number of huge rows in the house, mainly with WAG Nicola McLean, one of which was broken up by security as the presenter lost it in front of the other housemates.

Kim said repeatedly since leaving the house she had hated the experience, with housemates making comments about her confrontational approach and overhearing jibes at her “hairpiece.”

The star also got into rows with Strictly professional James Jordan, who mocked her cleaning career, and Spencer and Heidi Pratt, who she referred to as “evil” and “rotten pigs.”

Speaking about Kim, eventual series winner Coleen told fellow housemate James Cosmo,”You can’t have it out with someone who doesn’t listen or acknowledge. She just wants to shout. She doesn’t want to listen. I’ll then get more and more angry and nothing will be resolved.

“People say maybe I’ll feel better if I got it off my chest, but I don’t think I will because I will walk out more frustrated that she hasn’t got it.”

She added in the Diary Room: “Making out like we’re having this bloody love affair. It’s disrespectful and so not like that at all.

“I’ve made such a good friend in James C. As of this moment until we leave and until I die, I am not speaking to that woman again.

“She is vile, horrible, nasty; the vilest woman I’ve ever known, met or wish to meet. She’s the most fake, horrible woman.”

Before that point, there were few confrontations between the two women in the house that were shown on air, but things really kicked off when Coleen was crowned the winner, and Kim started her tirade against Coleen in a series of interviews.

Kim told the Evening Standard, after Coleen’s win was announced: “How that woman won, when Jedward were sitting there, I have no idea.

“Public, I don’t know how you could let that boring fag ash Lil (win), with what I now know to be a rotten mouth. She shouldn’t have won that show … I’m a bit tired of all these people on Loose Women winning … It was wrong that she won. She was not entertaining and I was disappointed.

“Coleen was running with the foxes and hunting with the hounds. What a shocking woman.”

Kim then appeared on This Morning and Loose Women though on a day that Coleen was not presenting.

After avoiding each other, Kim was invited onto Loose Women to try and salvage their relationship.

Kim was instantly on edge and name-called dozens of times, calling Coleen everything from “lying trash” to “two-faced,” while Coleen called her “antagonistic” and claimed she was always edging for a fight.

The presenter also said she only went on Loose Women because she had been paid to do so, before revealing it was her “brutal childhood” which made her Big Brother experience so terrible, as it reminded her of the ridicule she received as a child.

One of the best ways to gain privacy for your backyard, without needing an ugly or hard-to-construct fence, is with Laurel Hedging – and right now, this set of plants creates a 6-foot hedge for £400 less

Gardening Express is still offering a wide range of discounts on various garden additions, from trees to flowers to herbs. And Lauren Hedging has not been left out.

This Laurel Hedging set features 10 plants designed to create a 6-foot hedge, offering ultimate privacy and a luscious green border to your outside space. For a limited time, it is on sale with a massive £400 discount.

This hedging is made from dense, bushy, evergreen shrubs with large, glossy, dark green leaves. It is set to make an excellent hedging plant that can cope with deep shade under trees as well as full sun. This hedge blooms small white flowers on spikes in mid-spring, followed by cherry red berries (though these are not suitable for ingestion).

Touted as fast-growing shrubs, these plants are fully hardy, making them comfortable in the UK’s changing climate all year round.

When planting these hedging plants, it’s recommended that you incorporate lots of well-rotted garden compost into the planting hole. In terms of maintenance, this hedge doesn’t require much upkeep. You can prune it during the spring and summer months, and once it’s matured, it can tolerate hard pruning, cutting back to the old wood.

As they are so big and bushy, you can space the plants out a bit more than you would with smaller plants for hedging purposes. These are best set around 80- 120 cms (3-4ft) apart. This will give instant coverage and provide immediate privacy, which will only get better as they grow and knit together into a substantial hedge.

Normally retailing for a whopping £899.97, this 10-piece hedging set is up for grabs for the massively reduced price of £499.97 while this deal lasts – saving shoppers a whopping £400.

Gardeners who have already purchased this Laurel Hedging set have left glowing 5-star reviews. One happy shopper says: “Order process very smooth. Great price. Delivered quickly and communicated all the way. Trees great condition and already give 80% privacy and they haven’t even grown yet. Very pleased Thankyou.”

Another buyer beams: “Confirmation of order and delivery was very efficient. Arrived quickly and well packed on a pallet and a tall protective wooden frame. Each laurel plant is impressive in height and health. As the previous reviewer mentioned, they already give pretty good privacy from the outset.”

And a third chimes in: “Absolutely brilliant Laurel! Delivered very quickly by a charming young man. Thankyou! Will be recomending and will use again. Brilliant!”

Meghan Markle has sent fans into a frenzy after she told them to ‘mark their calendars’ with an announcement on social media, with more news set to come later this week

Meghan Markle has set social media abuzz by telling fans to ‘mark your calendars’ for a special announcement, hinting at the return and upcoming release of her lifestyle brand.

Taking to Instagram on Monday evening, the Duchess of Sussex teased that As Ever has some ‘delicious surprises’ coming up. Featuring an image of a stack of delicious-looking pancakes, Meghan’s post was light on details but did promise a revival of some ‘favourite’ products as well as some newcomers. The launch of the products is set for June 20 at 8am, suggesting a restock of some tantalising treats might be on the menu.

A post on the brand’s official page was captioned: “Oh yes, honey…sweet things await. Mark your calendars for June 20 at 8 a.m. PT – we’re bringing back your favorites, plus some delicious surprises you won’t want to miss!”

The duchess then reposted this on her personal Instagram story, adding: “So much love has gone into this… and I can’t wait to share it with you this Friday, June 20th.”

Meghan also talked more about the announcement in her newsletter, where she wrote: “First off, a sincere thank you for making the debut of As Ever absolutely extraordinary.

“We had a feeling there would be excitement, but to see everything sell out in less than an hour was an amazing surprise. We are pleased to share that on June 20th, we’re going live with the products you love – plus, some new delicious surprises.”

This announcement comes after the duchess’s decision to take a step back from the company, holding off any new releases until the following year.

March saw the highly anticipated launch of her enterprise, with products flying off virtual shelves less than half an hour after going live.

The launch included a raspberry spread in keepsake packaging, herbal lemon ginger tea, herbal peppermint tea, herbal hibiscus tea, her flower sprinkles, crepe mix, shortbread cookie mix with flower sprinkles included and a limited-edition wildflower honey with honeycomb.

Discussing her hopes and goals for the As Ever brand with Fast Company, Meghan said: “I want to really focus on the hospitality angle of As Ever, but as we take the learnings, we can understand what the customer’s needs are seasonally.

“My heart is very deeply in my home. Everything comes from being rooted in the love story of your home and garden, and then you can imagine different verticals coming out of that.”

Meghan also revealed that she’s looking to expand the brand into the fashion world as well, explaining: “Fashion is a category I plan to explore down the line because I find it to be an intriguing space for me.”

After causing a stir over the contentious cover art for her upcoming album Man’s Best Friend, pop singer Sabrina Carpenter has finally broken her silence.

Sabrina Carpenter has finally shared her thoughts on the backlash she received after revealing the album artwork for her new project Man’s Best Friend.

Sabrina shared the album cover on June 12, posting two images, one of a dog wearing a collar which reads Man’s Best Friend and the second shows the pop star on her hands and knees, as a mysterious figure standing over her is seen pulling her hair.

People began making inquiries about the album’s artwork as soon as the discussion about its deeper meaning and possible impact on other women started online.

One TikToker shared their views about the controversial cover, saying: “I’m excited to hear the music! Just not so keen on the cover. Seeing this alongside the Sydney Sweeney stuff and Bonnie Blue’s petting zoo, I just really have to question what on earth is going on at the moment.”

One commentator said: “I think the violence in this cover is so triggering,” while another claimed that she felt the pop star was “hypersexualizing herself for the male gaze” and was thus “setting us so far back”

It sparked a fascinating online discussion about “choice feminism” and female sexuality. Sabrina reacted to the fury online with a few wacky posts after five days of discussion. The ex-Disney star responded to a question on X that read, “Does she have a personality other than sex?” with “girl yes, and it is goooooooooooood.”

The album cover reveal came with the release of her first single from the new project, titled ‘Manchild’ in what many believe is a dig at her ex Barry Keoghan. The song caused quite a stir but went straight to number one.

Manchild is the first female artist’s solo #1 hit on the Hot 100 since Please Please Please Please, according to a chart-based account called Chart Data. Both were written by Sabrina Carpenter. Sabrina simply stated, “I had a funny response, but I’m just going to say thank you &lt, 3.” In response to her success and what appears to be the backlash the song faced.

After receiving criticism for her racy performances on tour, Sabrina went into more detail about the constant flood of comments she receives about her sexualization in a recent interview with Rolling Stone. They seem to say that all they do is sing about this. However, you’ve made those songs well-known. You adore sex, after all.

Louise Thompson has shared her secret to concealing dark under-eye circles, with her ‘amazing’ go-to concealer helping her looking refreshed and awake in seconds

Dark circles are something we all get from time to time, whether it’s genetics or just a bad night’s sleep, so finding a way to cover them is usually something everyone needs to do once in a while. If you’re tired of your under-eyes looking cakey with regular concealer, Louise Thompson has shared the perfect product to cover up dark circles and make you look more awake in seconds.

Posting on Instagram, the former Made in Chelsea star raved about Rodial’s Lowlighter (£38), writing: “This product is AMAZING under the eyes if you look tired.” She then added: “The best product if you want to look like you’ve had 8+ hours sleep.”

The colour correcting concealer helps to visibly blur and brighten the area, melting into your skin and making it easy to blend out for subtle-looking coverage. The radiant finish helps brighten up dark circles, and its hydrating ingredients mean you don’t end up creasing or looking dry and cakey.

Apart from covering up dark circles and blemishes, the Rodial Lowlighter also helps improve the look of your skin underneath. It contains hyaluronic acid and vitamin E which plump and smooth fine lines and provide additional hydration, whilst caffeine helps reduce the appearance of puffiness.

Originally coming in the shade banana – which became a cult favourite product for makeup fans everywhere – it now also comes in two additional shades, peach and latte. Banana has soft yellow undertones, whilst peach has (surprise surprise) peach undertones, and latte caters to warm caramel undertones.

If you want a greater shade range, REFY’s Concealer comes in 24 different colours. Whilst it’s not specifically designed for the under-eye area, it has a serum-based formula that hydrates, brightens and blurs.

For those who prefer a lighter coverage, Erborian’s CC Eye Clair is £27 and helps to restore your eye area’s radiance whilst caring for your skin. It helps fade the appearance of dark circles and puffiness, and evens out skin tone for a natural-looking finish.

Meanwhile Zoeva’s Baby Fresh Eyes Under Eye Brightening Corrector is £24 and instantly neutralises dark circles, rather than just covering them up. The results last for hours, and it works to brighten, hydrate and de-puff your skin whilst you wear it so your skin looks even better after use.

However LookFantastic shoppers seems to be a big fan of Louise’s go-to Rodial Lowlighter, writing: “Great coverage, doesn’t sink into lines around eyes. Lasts all day!”

Another agreed: “Amazing product. Brightens and lightens under eye area. Also use on age spots and fading acne scars.”

Some found it less useful, saying: “I like the way it glides under eye and leaves a glow and hides dark circles. A little runny for me so use it with another product.”

Others said: “Offers good coverage, but can be heavy in parts.”

However others loved it, writing: “I’m 37 and suffer with dark circles under my eyes. This is my first time trying this product and I’m so happy with it. It has brightened my eyes beautifully.”

Body language expert Judi James has shared her thoughts on Lily Allen’s seemingly romantic date with actor James Norton following her marriage split from David Harbour

Lily Allen looked like she had put her painful split with David Harbour behind her when she was papped with James Norton over the weekend. The Smile singer, 40, was spotted with the Happy Valley actor, 39, at the Lido Festival on London in Saturday where they watched Charli XCX perform.

Mum-of-two Lily, who called it quits with Stranger Things star, David, 50, in December, looked in high spirits as she chatted to James while sporting a black velvet mini skirt, tights, knee-high boots and a white crop top.

The actor, wearing loose-fitting linen trousers and a multi-coloured t.shirt, seemed relaxed in Lily’s company as they both drank non-alcoholic beer, watching the Brat hitmaker perform after reportedly meeting on celebrity dating app Raya – which is where Lily also met David.

Lily ended her marriage to Stranger Things star husband David in December 2024 after four years together, reportedly following her discovery he had a secret profile on Raya.

Meanwhile, James is said to have split from model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith, 26, last month before being spotted back on the star-studded dating site.

Sharing her thoughts on James and Lily, body language expert Judi James has said: “The body language here has got ‘First date, might end in just friendship’ vibes written all over it, showing stars can get a little coy on the dating circuit, just like normal mortals.

“The picture of the pair walking together is especially cute. It’s the moment when a couple or even good friends would hold hands but on a first date the parameters aren’t defined, and this can create some awkwardness.

“James and Lily’s hands hang in position to reach for a clasp but they both have barriers to help avoid any clumsiness here. Both have pulled their sleeves down over their hands to avoid any touch, suggesting both might have a desire to be non-committal about anything closer at this point.”

Judi adds: “James’s other signals suggest a polite and charming appreciation of Lily’s company, with some face-watching as she talks, which shows very flattering undivided attention that can often score a second date, plus an appreciative smile that shows he likes her company.

“And Lily seems to like his company, too. Both were seen smiling twin smiles but when looking ahead rather than face-to-face, which is often a hint that a pair are enjoying a date.”

Lily and James are believed to have met on the exclusive dating app Raya. Raya is so exclusive it has been called Illuminati Tinder, Tinder for A-listers, and The SoHo House of dating apps. You need a referral to join and an impressive number of Instagram followers, with only 8% of people applying being accepted, according to reports.

After meeting on the app and getting married five years ago, Lily and David have called it a day, with the singer revealing she went to a treatment centre earlier this year in order to process the breakdown of her marriage.

In March, Lily opened up about the split for the first time during a live recording of her podcast at the Hackney Empire in London. She told the crowd: “I am not over it. I am sort of running away. Maybe I will have a nervous breakdown.”

Meanwhile, David recently talked about his personal life as he said he had let himself go “physically and emotionally.” It came just hours after he confirmed their split after ditching his wedding ring on the red carpet at the premiere for the Marvel movie, Thunderbolts. David said: “I can go to these dark places.”

When prompted directly about his split from Lily, David gave a two-word response. “Oh boy,” he commented. But he later opened up about his reasoning for remaining silent.

Speaking to GQ Magazine, he said: “I’m protective of the people and the reality of my life”, adding that he didn’t see the point in engaging with the interest surrounding the split as it had been based on “hysterical hyperbole.”
