A TikTok star was found dead in his home in Los Angeles just days after his final post online

A 31-year-old TikTok star with more than 2.5million followers has been found dead in his home. Star Tucker Genal was discovered just days after his final post and tributes have begun to pour in.

Tucker was found dead inside his home in Los Angeles, California, on Thursday last week and his death has been ruled as a suicide, according to medical examiners in the city. Days before his death Tucker shared a post which included throwback images from every month in the past year, along with the caption: “Wish I could relive some of these moments twice.”

His followers were left heartbroken and tributes flooded in, including from his brother Carson who wrote: “I don’t even know where to begin, you were my best friend and an even better big brother, my entire life I’ve spent looking up to you and trying to follow in your footsteps because you were always my hero.”

He added: “I know one thing is for certain and that is that I will continue to spend the rest of my life looking up to you until we meet again. You were the kindest person I’ve ever met and the greatest brother that anyone could have ever asked for.”

Before Tucker’s death, he shared a post on Instagram with his friend Sean Schutt. The pair were snapped sitting on Santa’s lap along with the caption: “I can feel the Christmas spirit from my head to my mistletoes.”

Sean shared a tribute to his friend which read: “I don’t know where I would have been without you man. You gave me life. You showed me how beautiful life can be. I’m so blessed to have had you in my life. I will cherish ever moment and memory we shared together. Thank you for always being there for me when I didn’t know where to go.”

He continued: “5 years ago I was in the deepest darkest place in my life and didn’t think there was a way out… I saw these guys Tucker and Carson Genal making a content house in Los Angeles. They invited me to be apart and the rest is history.

“As soon as I moved to LA and lived with them they gave me a whole new perspective on life. Tucker You gave me my motivation you brought a light in me that I never even knew I had.

“You are the kindest most selfless person I knew. You always put others before yourself and you always knew how to care when no one else did. I don’t know where I would have been without you man. YOU gave me Life.”

Zach Justice, a fellow social media star, wrote: “I can’t believe this. Please check on your friends. All my love to him, his family, and all the people who loved him.”

Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo spotted with this celeb-loved pram – and I’ve chosen it too

By in Entertainment News, News

Podcasters Jamie Laing and wife Sophie Habboo have been snapped using a baby buggy also loved by Michelle Keegan and Molly-Mae Hague – and I’ve tried it out too

Buying a pram for your newborn baby is a big decision – and expenditure – to make, and if you’re ever wandered through the nursery department of John Lewis, for example, you’ll know just how much choice there is. Well, here’s one popular model that’s proving to be the buggy of choice for many a celebrity, including new parents Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo.

The couple welcomed their baby boy Ziggy earlier this month, and have been spotted out and about with him pushing the iCandy Peach 7 in black – a luxe buggy that’s been referred to as ‘the Ferrari of the pram world’, and which both Michelle Keegan and Mark Wright and Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury also chose for their little ones. Available in eight different colours, the Peach 7 Black Pushchair and Carrycot costs £1,149 for the single model – however it’s actually currently cheaper to buy this bundle with accessories, which is currently reduced from £1,249 to £999.

Expecting a baby myself soon, and equally overwhelmed my the choice of prams available, I’ve been trying out the iCandy Peach 7 ahead of my baby arriving – and I can see why it’s such a hit…

Firstly, I think it looks incredibly chic. The design is very sleek and modern, in all colours, and I think it looks like a real luxury product. Its highlight for me, however, is just how smoothly it ‘drives’ compared to others – it’s so easy to push and manoeuvre, even when filled with items (or of course, in the future, a baby), and with lovely bouncy suspension. ‘Ferrari’ certainly seems to be a fair comparison.

It’s also very easy to dismantle and fold up, even for pram newbies like me: simply unclick the carrycot, push the handle down to its lowest, then in one swift, firm motion, push the handle’s button in and push the handle downwards; the buggy will fold in on itself and can then be carried by the strap (it’s not the lightest due to its bouncy wheels, but definitely manageable). This can all be done one-handed, and it’s super easy.

One downside we found, however, was that it was a little tricky to assemble. My partner normally enjoys a DIY home build but even he had a few choice words to say when trying to construct the carrycot. The instructions weren’t particularly clear, so it’s a good idea to have a YouTube video to hand to make the process easier.

Another thing to consider is that, if you’re tall, you’ll need to clip in extenders on either side to raise the carrycot up to a suitable level; these also need to be removed before you dismantle it and fold it up. This is a very quick and simple step, but not something we’d found with other prams we’d tried.

However, as new – and fairly clueless – parents, we’ve both been super impressed by the iCandy Peach 7, and feel confident that our baby will be safe and comfortable in it, and our journeys made as convenient as possible. If you’re tempted too, I’d really recommend buying the bundle, which also gets you accessories such as a cup holder, changing bag, umbrella and sleeping bag, or the bundle that includes all this plus the ISOFIX car seat; they’re much better value overall.

If instead you’re after a smaller buggy – perhaps for travelling or if you live in a city – the Joolz Aer2 Pushchair is really lightly and aeroplane-friendly (and comes basically ready assembled!).

Lily Allen ‘profiting from lies’ and slammed by real-life ‘Madeline’ following David Harbour affair

By in Entertainment News, News

Following her appearance on SNL, Singer Lily Allen has been slammed by the real-life Madeline and is reportedly ‘profiting from lies’ as Natalie Tippett speaks out

Lily Allen has been slammed by the real-life Madeline and is reportedly ‘profiting from lies’ as Natalie Tippett, known as Madeline from Lilly Allen’s latest album, has denied a three-year affair with David Harbour.

Lily wrote about the affair in the songs on her West End Girl album where she also revealed details on her open marriage with Stranger Things actor David. Now Natalie has spoken out in a series of Instagram posts on Sunday following Lily Allen’s appearance on SNL.

Natalie shared three slides where she explained she felt ‘extremely violated’ by the way she has been portrayed. She wrote: “I was hoping not to speak on this, but I am tired of this false narrative being pushed and circulated. This was such a marginal part of my life, but it’s now turned into a major disruption.”

In the next slide she wrote: “I did not have a three year affair with anyone. I’m unsure why this person wants so badly to pit people against me or create this narrative that we both know is false based on the actual messages that I have saved between us. The same ones that have now been referenced in a song without my consent.”

“I don’t weaponise women against women for the behaviour of men, especially not in an open relationship. I’m wishing her all the success, money, healing and happiness and whatever else she’s seeking through this.”

Natalie went on to explain that she is aware of the ‘repercussions’ that might come with speaking out but spoke about ‘having to watch someone profit off painful lies’. She added: “I’m a human being not a character someone created”.

Lily and David ended their relationship last December after it was reported he had a three year affair. Lily shared details of their marriage in her latest album where she claimed David cheated with a woman called Madeline. It was later reported that ‘Madeline’ is Natalie.

It comes after Dakota Johnson stunned fans by joining Lily Allen on Saturday Night Live, where she kissed the singer while appearing as ‘Madeline’ in a bombshell performance of song Tennis from her West End Girl album.

The performance marked Lily’s first appearance as the show’s musical guest in 18 years. Dakota was behind a curtain delivering the song’s spoken-word verses, explaining her side of the story to Lily in a series of texts. At the end of the song, Dakota moved from a curtained off bed to the front of stage with Lily giving her a kiss on the cheek as they met.

“He told me that you were aware this was going on and that he had your full consent,” she said. “If he’s lying about that, then please let me know. Because I have my own feelings about dishonesty.”

At the end of the song, Johnson revealed herself by stepping from behind the curtain, approaching Allen, and planting a kiss on her cheek.

The record, described by Allen as a blend of “truth” and “fantasy”, saw the pop star explore a broken sexual “arrangement”. The SNL performance caps off a huge year for Allen, who just last month announced a string of new live dates to her sold-out tour.

Princess Kate breaks from her beloved tailoring for silky festive dress in daring colour

By in Entertainment News, News

The Princess of Wales attended Buckingham Palace’s pre-Christmas lunch today, and swapped her usual fitted tailoring for a flowing silk maxi dress in a very festive colour

As we barrel towards the peak of the festive season, Buckingham Palace has been hosting plenty of its own festive events, including today’s (December 16) pre-Christmas lunch. In attendance was the Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, and Prince William along with their children.

For the occasion, Princess Kate swapped her usual form-fitting tailoring and smart silhouettes for a flowing, silky maxi dress. Her dress of choice was a re-wear of her Alessandra Rich red maxi dress from the brand’s AW19 collection, which Kate has previously worn whilst filming with Mary Berry for A Berry Royal Christmas in 2019.

Everything from the festive red colour to the flowing, relaxed drape of the dress made this the perfect choice for an indulgent festive feast. She accessorised her look with some Van Cleef & Arpels clover-shaped earrings and a Miu Miu black velvet hair bow for a fun, playful but still demure way to wear red for Christmas.

Although we’re undoubtedly not alone in coveting Princess Kate’s stunning dress, the same style has long since sold out from the designer. However the high street is packed with some great alternatives that you could snap up instead if you want to emulate her royal look.

At Cupshe, the Picnic Day Polka Dot Maxi Dress has a similar look, with an all-over red colourway that features a dainty polka dot print in white, and is priced at just £36. It features similar details, like a long sleeves with some volume and a keyhole neckline with an adjustable tie at the front.

However the dress doesn’t have the same luxe-feeling material, which is why Finery London’s Polka Dot Midi Tea Dress may be better suited for those looking for a Princess Kate-inspired look. Priced at £49 it’s still affordable, but has a larger polka dot print with puff three-quarter length sleeves and a midi hemline, and is perfect for dressing up or down depending on the occasion.

We’ve also spotted other affordable styles at Roman, with the Red Heart Print Ruched Midi Dress now on sale for just £35, although it has a slightly more fitted shape when compared to Kate’s flowing silhouette. However, Boden’s Lisa Long Sleeve Tea Dress embodies the effortlessly chic and relaxed style of the Alessandra Rich dress, but comes in a pink and red colour combination that’s also on sale, down from £166 to £83.

Finally, if you really want to ramp up the wow factor and dial up the elegance, Coast’s Long Sleeve Chiffon Pleated Wrap Midi Dress is now £95 down from £119, and whilst it’s not necessarily a lookalike for Princess Kate’s dress, it does have a similarly elegant, luxury feel. The pleated midi skirt and long sleeves give it some added drama, whilst the wrap waist and V-neck keep it flattering and playful.

With the festive season one of Princess Kate’s favourite times of year to get dressed for, we have no doubt we’ll still have plenty more outfits to inspire our Christmas wardrobe.

Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty supported by Gordon and Tana as the family meets ahead of wedding

By in Entertainment News, News

Holly Ramsay and Olympian Adam Peaty have received support from Gordon Ramsay and wife Tana amid a family feud with the in-laws, just weeks before their star-studded wedding in Bath

Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty have been supported by her family as Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay and wife Tana were spotted alongside the pair in Bath just weeks before daughter Holly ties the knot with Olympian Adam.

Gordon and Tana were spotted in the Somerset city on Monday in a show of support for Holly’s nuptials amid an ongoing reported row with her in-laws, just weeks before their wedding will take place after Christmas.

The Team GB icon, 30, and Gordon Ramsay’s daughter, 25, will tie the knot on December 27 in a ceremony at Bath Abbey. The couple will exchange vows at Bath’s historic Abbey Church of Saint Peter and Saint Paul, before embarking on festive drinks later this month.

Just weeks before the big day, Gordon, Tana and their daughter Tilly, 24, were snapped leaving the Robun Japanese sushi restaurant and cocktail bar together. Bride-to-be Holly looked stunning in a chic black outfit and was holding hands with Adam’s five-year-old son George, who he shares with his ex-girlfriend Eirianedd Munro.

Adam followed closely behind and, according to fellow diners at the restaurant, the couple were ‘inseparable’. One person told The Daily Mail: “They were all over each other, giggling and fooling about. Whatever problems there may be in the family, they certainly weren’t showing it”.

The family night out follows a fiery family feud between Holly and her in-laws which has has reportedly overshadowed preparations.

Sources suggest the trouble began at the couple’s engagement bash, held in London last December, and filmed as part of Holly’s famous dad Gordon’s fly-on-the-wall docuseries, Being Gordon Ramsay. It’s been claimed that guests were asked to sign NDAs and hand over their phones, while Adam’s mum, Caroline Peaty, was allegedly unhappy that some of her family members were not invited, and confronted chef Gordon at the event.

It was later revealed that Caroline had been left “heartbroken” after allegedly being “banned” from the grand wedding. This ongoing row, coupled with the reported high cost of accommodation and travel, means that Adam’s sister, Bethany, is believed to be the only family member from the Peaty side to be in attendance at the star-studded wedding.

Sources close to Adam’s mother, Caroline, previously claimed that he had “changed” since meeting Holly and is now chasing fame, despite his working-class upbringing in Uttoxeter.

They told the Daily Mail: “She’s from a celebrity world and his parents are not, and his ego and self-importance has just got bigger. He’s not the lovely boy next door that we all remember him as.

“Adam has changed and he is almost a bully. He has been so horrible to his mum and he is now trying to exclude her from his life. She is worried sick about all this and can’t believe it is happening. We think Holly has triggered all this, and her parents – the power of the rich and famous.”

What you need to know about Jeff Brazier’s marriage split and row with Ruth Langsford:

  • It’s been a tough time for Jeff Brazier recently as it emerged that the TV star, who has made a career out of presenting the daytime competitions on programmes like Good Morning Britain and This Morning since he shot to fame more than 20 years ago, had split from Kate Dwyer after seven years of marriage. The Celebrity Big Brother star appeared on ITV Daytime towards the end of November without his wedding ring, and then announced that he and Kate had actually gone their separate ways in the summer.
  • Jeff, 46, who is dad to EastEnders actor, Bobby, 22, and his brother, Freddie, 20, from his relationship with the late Jade Goody admitted the couple “could no longer make each other happy” as he broke his silence with a statement on Monday. Posting a snap whilst working on a daytime competition, he wrote on Instagram: “Just had the perfect week in St Kitts thanks to @stkittstourism Celebrating the sunshine and time to reflect on life & work while spending time with the team filming for one of our big @itvwin January competitions.”
  • Prior to that, Jeff explained that they chose to keep the news secret for some time so they could adjust to their new lives. The presenter also said that despite going their separate ways, they still keep in touch and wish each other the best. Jeff wrote: “I’m so full of love and gratitude for Kate.” Kate reportedly still keeps in touch with Bobby and Freddie despite no longer spending family time with them. Read the full statement here.
  • But the drama didn’t stop there for Jeff as fans will know that he’s enduring something of a row with Loose Women anchor Ruth Langsford. In a very awkward exchange, Jeff warned Ruth about “eating into his screen time” as he presented the competition segment on the ITV show.
  • Ruth looked stunned after Jeff’s comment, but appeared to brush it of. Insiders have since claimed while Ruth did not want to make a complaint about the comment, Jeff was spoken to about the incident. A source then claimed that Jeff was suggested to take some time away from the show as he came to terms with the upheaval in his private life.
  • But it’s not all bad for the TV favourite, who was recently said to have landed a lucrative deal for a reality show that will focus on him and his sons that will be “absolutely compulsive viewing” for fans.
