Michelle Keegan made sure all eyes were on her when she modelled a stunning selection of summer dresses on holiday in Marbella with her husband, Mark Wright

Michelle Keegan looks sensational on her latest sun-kissed holiday, modelling a selection of dresses from her own Very collection. The Coronation Street star, 38, showed off her enviable wardrobe while posed to perfection in Marbella, where she’s taken her baby daughter, Palma, three months, for her first holiday.

The actress, who was joined on the jaunt by her husband, Mark Wright and his sister Jess, told fans she was “obsessed” with her new summer dresses, particularly a floor-length brown frock with gold shell detail. Captioning a snap of herself in the dress while posing under the Spanish sun at the swanky £300-a-night SO/ Sotogrande Spa & Golf Resort Hotel, she mused: “One of my fave dresses from this collection, so simple but yet so effective. I’m obsessed with the gold shell detail.”

Also making its debut for the collection was a buttery yellow crocheted strapless dress, which set Michelle’s tan off a treat. Then, there was a stunning off-white, tasselled off-the-shoulder number, which looked like a dress, but was actually a top and a skirt, as Michelle explained: “This colour is a WOW! And the asymmetrical hemline is really flattering. (It’s a skirt and top so you have to buy separate ladies) Oh, and it’s currently in the SALE!”

Fans couldn’t get enough of Michelle – and her wardrobe- as many flocked to Instagram, praising the actress for how good she looked.

One gushed: “How does anyone look that amazing after just having a baby?”, while another joked: “You look absolutely stunning…I am still trying to get my post-baby figure back, and my baby is 17 this year!”

Michelle and Mark have jetted off to Spain for Palma’s first trip abroad as they told fans it was “Princess P’s first holiday”.

Sharing some sweet snaps of the family’s first holiday, Michelle can be seen cradling her bundle of joy while another showed the mum and daughter shaded from the sun.

Michelle and Mark announced their daughter’s arrival three months ago, taking to Instagram with a snap of the tot’s tiny hand, revealing they had a “new love to share”.

In a sweet post, holding her precious Palma, Michelle wrote: “Together we have a new love to share… Our little girl. Palma Elizabeth Wright. 06.03.25”.

Mark also spoke about his little girl on his Heart Breakfast show while chatting to his friend and fellow dad, Olly Murs. Recalling the moment he first held his daughter, he also praised his wife for being a ‘superhero’. He said: “It’s the biggest achievement of my life it’s all I think about but obviously, hats go off to my wife she is an absolute superhuman, a superhero for bringing this baby into the world ”.

He continued: “That moment when I held her in my arms, it gets me emotional now thinking about it… I suppose everything else goes out the window, and it’s made me realise what life is all about, and my little baby Palma, I love you so much and I can’t wait to spend the rest of my life with you.”

Jeff Brazier’s youngest son Freddy has changed his mind on checking into rehab after sharing his ambition to ‘get clean’

Freddy Brazier has admitted he’s changed his mind on attending rehab and said he needs a ‘boys holiday’ instead. Last week, Jeff Brazier and Jade Goody’s youngest son, 20, shared that he has been addicted to “smoking” from the age of 12 and was seeking treatment to ‘get clean.’

Freddy’s relationship with dad Jeff is said to have hit an all time low to the point Freddy has left the family home and moved in with his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden. Freddy said he wanted to be on good terms with his dad and his nan and hoped to check into a clinic in Spain to maintain ‘healthy relationships.’

Freddy shared in an Instagram post on Sunday that he has decided he ‘doesn’t need rehab’ and instead ‘needs a boys holiday or a retreat’. Posting a black and white photo of his younger self, he wrote: “You know what I don’t need rehab! I just need a holiday with a good group of boys or a retreat.”

It comes after Freddy spoke candidly about his issues and his strained relationship with dad Jeff, 46. He said: “I’ve decided that I will be cutting down and I want to go to Rehab In Marbs as I feel if I’m in England I won’t take getting clean seriously.

“I’ve been smoking from the age of 12 and it’s time to stop. It was a bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction, something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and some what OK

“I’ve found a boxing club and a rehabilitation centre. Ive found someone I want to get to know and I’m happy. I got a good bunch of friends and I [want to] get out and enjoy myself.

“I want to be clean so I can live happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I’m in the middle and have to choose a side.”

He continued: “I haven’t been able to feel loved properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now. I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father

“Every day is a new story about me and my Nana and father. It’s getting boring now. Mind your business and have a good rest of the week x,” he finished.

Over the week, concern has grown for Freddy after it emerged he had left his dad’s family home to spend more time with his maternal grandmother Jackiey.

Freddy and Jeff had been known for their sweet bond, which was shown to viewers on BBC series Race Across the World last year. But it seems relations between the two have soured with Freddy getting closer to his late mum Jade’s mother.

The move is said to have devastated dad Jeff, who was reported to be taking legal action to stop the two hanging out.

Defying his dad’s orders, Freddy has been posting pictures with his gran, but worried fans with one post this week as he listed ‘all the things he hates’ about himself.

Freddy wrote that he hates his “relationship with weed”, “step parents” and said “I don’t know how to love because I’ve never felt loved” and said he had “family issues”.

The TikTok was shared on Wednesday, just one day before what would have been Jade Goody’s birthday today. The late Big Brother icon, who died at the age of 27, would have been turning 44.

“Ah man this is gonna be sad to watch,” one TikTok user wrote underneath Freddie’s post. “Go home son, this is not what mum wanted for you sweetheart,” another suggested as a third wrote: “Sending you love Fred! Watched you in Race Across the World & you’re such a decent lad with so much potential.”

It looks like Freddy has a strained relationship with his big brother too, skipping Bobby’s 22nd birthday festivities on Monday. According to The Sun, the party felt an air of “sadness” after Freddy’s absence, where Bobby is said to have spent time with Jeff and stepmum Kate instead.

Giovanna Fletcher and her husband Tom have been married for nearly a decade and have three children together, but the couple have admitted that making time for each other can be difficult

Giovanna Fletcher admits “it’s always hard” moving on from a production as husband Tom Fletcher pleaded with her not to go away again.

Giovanna, 40, is known as the host of the host of the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast as well as her novels. She was also crowned Queen on the Jungle on the 20th series of I’m a Celeb.

Alongside her life as a celebrated podcaster and author, Giovanna juggles family life with three youngsters, Buzz, 11, Buddy, 9, and seven year old Max, pairing with McFly’s frontman Tom Fletcher. Her notable theatre work has seen her light up the West End in shows like 2:22: A Ghost Story and Everybody’s Talking About Jamie, coming off a recent tour as the lead in The Girl on the Train.

In a chat with Heat magazine about returning to the stage, Giovanna admitted: “Absolutely. It’s always hard leaving a show, especially one you love.”

Tom, the 39-year-old McFly sensation, quipped: “I’ve only just got her back home. Can you not send her back off on tour, please.”

Not one to sit idle, Giovanna has matched her bustling agenda with that of her spouse Tom, who is gearing up for an electrifying Busted vs McFly Tour of his own. He’s no stranger to penmanship either, having authored books himself, and now he’s venturing into the dramatic arts world.

Tom has been working diligently, composing lyrics and music for Paddington The Musical, while also adapting his children’s book series, The Dinosaur that Pooped, for the stage with The Dinosaur that Pooped A Rock Show.

The power couple recently carved out some time for a “rare” evening at The Great Gatsby’s press night, with Giovanna commenting on their action-packed lives: “We’re very busy”.

Tom echoed the sentiment, the former Strictly Come Dancing star remarked: “We won’t get many nights like this.”

Childhood sweethearts Tom and Giovanna first crossed paths at the Sylvia Young Theatre School and later sealed their love with a 2012 wedding. Tom’s heartfelt wedding speech, where he expressed gratitude to his wife and bandmates, became an internet sensation.

Giovanna recently shared insights into the challenges of balancing demanding careers during a podcast, sympathising with a listener’s marital difficulties. She confessed: “That’s really hard isn’t it. I can relate, I feel with Tom if we can manage to watch something together and our feet touch, that’s a win.”

She continued: “I also think being aware that you’re so busy that you’re juggling, that you’re drifting is really really important, because then you can do something about it. I think not being aware of it is the difficult place to be.”

Christine McGuinness is said to be ‘heartbroken’ over rumours she exchanged ‘flirty messages’ with Dan Osborne, with the mum-of-three upset her personal life is yet again subject to scrutiny.

After claims last week that Christine McGuinness and Dan Osborne exchanged “flirty” messages as they “supported” one another amid their respective marital woes, a source now says mum-of-three Christine is “heartbroken” that her personal life is yet again being put through the wringer.

The Sun has claimed there was a “spark” between Christine and Dan, who are said to have been friends since 2019, but our source says that rumours of any romantic connection between the pair are simply not true.

“Christine and Dan both feel this has been blown out of proportion. Christine is heartbroken and in pain over the whole thing and can’t believe it’s being painted like this. They’ve been friends for years and have helped each other through tough times respectively, but that’s literally all it is.”

Dan is thought to have recently patched things up with his wife, Jacqueline Jossa, after they publicly confirmed a brief split earlier this year – sharing loved-up snaps from holidays abroad and more recently at a wedding with friends.

The couple, who share two children, have been married since 2017, but their relationship has been quite a rollercoaster – including rumours of infidelity on Dan’s part. And last week, their relationship was yet again thrust into the spotlight as a source claimed to The Sun that Dan, 33, had exchanged “flirty messages” with Christine, 37.

“Their friendship goes as far back as 2019, when Jacqueline was heading down under to the I’m A Celeb jungle and they had a brilliant night out at a fundraising gala in London. They stayed in touch sporadically and would bump into each other at events and their messages got pretty flirty,” The Sun’s source claimed.

They added, “Some were seen by mutual friends. She would call him ‘D’ in texts and it became an open secret among their circles. There is no suggestion anything sexual happened, but it’s fair to say that there was a spark between them.”

Christine split from her husband of 11 years, comedian and TV presenter Paddy McGuinness, back in 2023, with The Sun claiming she met Dan later that year at a London hotel – but that “nothing sexual” happened between them.

While she may be enjoying single life, Christine is still living with ex-husband Paddy in their shared Cheshire home, having previously revealed that the dynamic works best for their children, 11-year-old twins Leo and Penelope and daughter Felicity, eight, who are all autistic, as is the former Pilgrimage star herself.

Opening up on how Paddy, who the model met back in 2007, is and always will be a part of her family, whom she “loves”, Christine said recently, “I need a connection now – something different. I really, really, honestly, I love my family, and Patrick is part of my family and he always, always will be. But now for my next relationship, I want someone for me.”

The pair spend time in separate parts of their house, Christine revealed during an appearance on Elizabeth Day’s How To Fail podcast, to ensure their children have “continuity” while they are able to enjoy their own space. “We have different wings. I always joke about [that] he is in the West Wing. We completely have our own spaces on the top floor of the house. I’m on the floor with the children and yeah, it works for us because we don’t have to move the children.

“They’ve got that continuity and it’s consistent. When they come home from school, they know where they’re going to. They’ve got their own rooms, everything they need is in that house, and it doesn’t matter too much whether it’s Mummy at home or Daddy at home. With our schedules being all over the place, it doesn’t affect them.”

Explaining their decision to not tell the children about the split, Christine said last year, “The children are so young and they don’t understand relationships yet. I think if they did, we would have absolutely said, ‘Mummy and Daddy are really good friends and we’re still family forever and we absolutely love you and that will never change.’ But they don’t know any different and there are times when they see us when we’re in the house together and we’re chatting away and having a laugh and a cup of tea.”

Christine was due to appear in the new series of Celebs Go Dating, which is set to air later this year, but she pulled out of the show after saying it was “too soon” to be dating on a public platform and dealing with the attention that brings.

Now, our source claims that the reports surrounding Christine and Dan are exactly the kind of thing she was hoping to avoid by pulling out of the reality show. “This is totally what Christine didn’t want. It’s the reason she pulled out of Celebs Go Dating. She didn’t want the attention on her life or family and neither did Paddy. They want to protect their kids’ privacy,” our source said.

With Dan and Jacqueline recently taking a trip abroad together to solidify their romance after their split, the source adds that Christine doesn’t want to get in the way of her pal’s marriage. “Christine certainly doesn’t want to look like she’s had anything to do with a married man, or with any problems between Dan and Jacqueline She would never want to wade into someone else’s relationship. It was only ever a friendship. Christine has a good heart and is really upset about all of this.”

Rochelle Humes talks telly, renewing her vows with her JLS star husband Marvin and opens up movingly about why she ‘cries every year’ when it comes to her three kids

Between hosting top TV shows such as This Morning and The Hit List , parenting her three children and running a business, you’d think that Rochelle Humes would run the risk of being totally strung out. However, as OK! sitS down for an exclusive interview with the 36-year-old, she appears effortlessly chilled out.

Alongside her flourishing career, Rochelle is known for her relationship with her husband, JLS singer and fellow TV star Marvin Humes, who she married back in 2012. Often sharing sweet posts to one another on social media and even working together, it’s clear that they are still smitten with each other.

So what’s their secret? Chalking it down to mutual respect and time out for themselves amid the chaos, Rochelle explains, “We both love each other and love our family but we also love what we do, and that’s something we’ve both always been at peace with.”

She adds reflectively, “We’ve always met each other in that vein. We also make sure that we shine but don’t shine at the same time, which is important to have. So, he’ll be on tour with JLS at the end of the year and I’ll be very grounded and there to support him.“We make sure that when we each have separate things, we support each other at that time. I think it’s just communication really, there’s not a big secret, I think it’s just that we’ve got respect for each other. That’s the bottom line.”

Three years ago, Rochelle and Marvin, 40, decided to renew their vows, and it’s something she says they’ve decided to make a bit of a tradition. “When we got married, we said we’d do it every 10 years!” she smiles. “I think it’s a fun thing to do, I’m trying to make all of my friends do the same thing. You reach a certain age and it’s like, people have all got married already, so it’s a bit… dead in the wedding area! I want our friends to do it every 10 years too, so we have some love to celebrate!

“It’s sad when they go, ‘I remember there was a time when I was like, “Oh my God, another wedding to go to!” and now I really miss it.’ I’m trying to get my brother to propose to his girlfriend. I don’t want him to lose her,” she admits.

There may not be many weddings to go to, but one thing she’s recently celebrated is daughter Alaia-May’s 12th birthday. Alaia-May is the eldest of Rochelle and Marvin’s brood, which includes Valentina, eight, and four-year-old son Blake.

“I can’t believe [she is 12]. I cry every year because I’m like, ‘I just don’t know where the years are going,’ but I’m also just so proud of the little woman that she’s becoming,” says Rochelle of her eldest. She continues, “It’s a weird thing to think that I’ve got a 12-year-old. I’m also so proud of how we’re raising her. Like, we managed to get one of them to 12, so we’re doing alright! We’re winging it, but what we’re doing is working so far,” she says.

The family often share insights into their holidays on social media, with dreamy breaks in Dubai and the Maldives. But Rochelle likes to give the kids some traditional British memories, too. “At the minute, the kids have just been at my mum’s caravan for a few days. So, I dread to think what treats I’m coming back to – they’ve just been a little bit feral for a while,” she says, with an eye roll.

“It’s like the nostalgia of holidays that I remember when I was younger, which is nice for them to have. I think my mum loves to do it all again, too, there’s definitely something about doing it with your grandchildren and not your children, because you’re not in a rush. You have all of the benefits and you can give them back!”

Not only will Rochelle have three kids on a high from caravan life, but she says, she’ll have piles of washing, too. Luckily, the star has partnered with Dylon Detergent, which she hails as a staple in her house. “I’m honestly such a big fan. I have my favourite scent and the smell is gorgeous. It really has made a difference to my gym wear and to the kids’ school uniforms, too. You know how they just go faded?

“We’ve just got back from the Maldives for Easter, which was brilliant. I tested Dylon to revive a dress that I’d bought a few years before and had lost its way a little bit. It was great.”

And what are their plans with the kids for summer? “You get the first week of the school holidays out of the way and there’s nothing left to do,” she says. “They love coming to work with me anyway. My daughters have realised there’s a gifting cupboard in my office which has body sprays and creams and everything, so they have a one-track mind!”

Rochelle is the official brand ambassador for Dylon Detergent, the laundry detergent that cleans and restores clothes to look and feellike new. Available at major retailers.

James ‘Arg’ Argent was seen celebrating his former The Only Way Is Essex co-star Megan McKenna’s wedding over the weekend, just hours after his ex put out a heartbreaking statement

James ‘Arg’ Argent danced the night away with his The Only Way Is Essex co-stars, just hours after his ex issued a heartbreaking statement. Nicoline Artursson broke her silence on Friday evening for the first time since her ex admitted to domestic violence.

The former Only Way Is Essex star admitted his crime at a court in Spain where he received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order. Argent pushed his now ex-girlfriend down a flight of stairs, causing the injuries.

As Nicoline spoke of how the “fractures on my body have finally healed but I’m wounded inside”, just hours later, on the Saturday, Arg was at Megan’s wedding, where she tied the knot with her husband Oliver.

Taking to Instagram, Arg posted a video of him and Megan dancing at the nuptials. He wrote: “Congratulations to the beautiful Bride, My dear friend @meganmckenna who got married to the lovely @oliverjburke yesterday.

“I can’t tell you how much it meant to me, That you wanted me there on your special Wedding day. We danced together just like old times in Nu Bar Loughton when we were kids.

He added: “We always supported each other in those TOWIE days & remained friends ever since. You’ve blossomed into an amazing woman. You’re a fantastic mum & you’re going to make a great wife! And you’re a much better singer than me haha. Love ya.”

In her heartbreaking statement, Nicoline explained more about that night. She wrote: “I was brutally thrown out of our new home in the middle of the night wearing only my pyjamas. I opened the door to let him in and only minutes after I found myself laying down on the stairs outside our house. My clothes and belongings were being thrown out from the balcony down on me. I was injured.”

She also added: “A gentleman does not abuse you and end up in jail and call you the love of his life. A gentleman does not blame you for his actions. A gentleman will confide in his partner, family and close circle of friends, keeping them close and safe. A gentleman chooses you always and leaves the past in the past – including exes.

“Life is to be lived together and not to please people who want to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, fame can only do so much – it’s all about being strong and growing together. Life is simply not a reality TV show, life is real. I have tried to understand why. I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are.”
