Soap star Claire Sweeney could divide her fans as she has revealed her stunning Christmas tree and decorations already as there’s still seven weeks to go until the big day

Claire Sweeney is set to face the wrath of some fans as she gets into the festive spirit already. The Brookside actress, 54, has decided to add a bit of cheer to her home ahead of Christmas.

In a move that could be considered way too early for some, Claire has decked out her house with a dazzling Christmas tree. She has gone all out with red and gold decorations.

The soap star has filled her living room with ornaments, having added red baubles and ribbons to her mantlepiece. Despite there still being a while to go till the big day, Claire reasoned: “Xmas adverts are on so the tree can go up.”

She added: “Thank you so much @Maddisonjcreations… My tree is stunning.” Traditionally, Christmas trees go up on Advent Sunday, which is the fourth Sunday before the 25th December.

However, for those opting for a real tree they tend to wait till early to mid December to keep them as fresh as possible. Claire’s post comes just weeks after she attended her ex-boyfriend Ricky Hatton’s funeral and broke down in tears.

The boxing legend was laid to rest last month at an emotional funeral in Manchester. Claire dated the tragic former world champion who was found dead aged 46 at his Hyde home on September 14.

The Coronation Street favourite shared a touching tribute to Ricky in which she told fans she “adored” the boxing legend. Her post included a video montage along with the soundtrack of Elvis Presley’s If I Can Dream.

Ricky and Claire went from being friends to lovers and back to being friends again following a whirlwind eight-month relationship. They dated last year before things cooled between them just before Christmas – but it is clear they stayed close.

Despite knowing each other for many years, it was only after their stint on ITV’s Dancing On Ice that rumours of a budding romance began to swirl, following a series of pub dates spotted in Manchester. Their first public appearance as a couple came in May 2024, when they graced the red carpet at the grand opening of the Co-op Live Arena in the city they both loved.

Claire said: “I’ve needed a few days to process the devastating news about my dear friend Ricky. My thoughts are with his family especially his children Campbell, Millie Fearne and Lyla, his granddaughter.

“To them, Speaky and to all his friends who loved him so deeply and for so many years I send you my deepest sympathy. Ricky, you were the people’s champ. We adored and cherished you. Love you always,” she said.

A source told the Mirror at the time of Claire and Ricky being on Dancing on ice: “The chemistry was electric. Ricky went out of the show early on but he contacted her afterwards and let’s say he started wooing her. They’ve been out on several dates.”

They added: “They’ve been seeing each other quite a bit. He is completely besotted. It seems like an unlikely match but he’s always had a way with women. They fall for his personality, and Claire has. He knows her number one priority is her son so they are being very careful. Let’s watch this space.”

Taylor Swift’s album came out last month and was hugely successful, but because of the date it was released, the pop star was not eligible for the 2026 Grammy nominations

Taylor Swift has missed out on nominations for the 2026 Grammy Awards despite the huge success of her latest album.

The Life of a Showgirl, the pop star’s 12th studio album, was released on October 3 and sold 4.002 million equivalent album units – which includes album sales and streaming activity – in its first week in the US. The singer broke the record previously set by Adele’s 25, which sold 3.378 million copies in its first week in 2015 in the US.

Despite this, Taylor, 35, hasn’t been nominated for the Grammys – but it doesn’t mean she has been snubbed. Her latest album was actually ineligible for the awards show because it was released after the eligibility cutoff date. However, The Life of a Showgirl will be eligible for the 2027 Grammys.

The 2026 music awards will honour the best recordings, compositions and artists from August 31, 2024 to August 30, 2025. This also applies to Beyoncé, who hasn’t received any nominations this time round because her eighth studio album, Cowboy Carter, came out on March 29, 2024.

The Grammy Awards, recognising artists from across the music industry, will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday, February 1, 2026. Among those leading the nominations are rapper Kendrick Lamar and pop star Lady Gaga.

Lamar, 38, who already has 22 Grammys to his name, is up for nine prizes – record of the year, album of the year, song of the year, pop/duo group performance, melodic rap performance, rap album and rap song. He has also been nominated twice in the rap performance category for TV off featuring Lefty Gunplay and Chains And Whips with Clipse, Pusha T, Malice and Pharrell Williams.

The nominations sweep comes after a federal judge tossed out a defamation lawsuit Canadian rapper Drake brought against Universal Music Group, labelling the alleged libellous words in Lamar’s diss track Not Like Us as opinion. Rap titan Lamar took home Grammys for song of the year, record of the year, music video, rap song and rap performance at the most recent ceremony for the hit diss track, which he performed during his acclaimed Super Bowl LIX half-time show in February.

Meanwhile Gaga, who finished a spate of UK performances last month amid her Mayhem Ball world tour, is up for record, song and album of the year – her first time receiving nominations in all three categories simultaneously – and could also score wins in the categories, pop solo performance, pop vocal album, dance pop/electronic recording and traditional pop vocal album. The Paparazzi singer, 39, who already has 14 Grammys, topped the UK album charts for a fifth time after she released her studio album Mayhem earlier this year.

Among the other artists with major nods this year are US producer Jack Antonoff, Puerto Rican rapper and singer Bad Bunny, US pop star Sabrina Carpenter and Canadian record producer/songwriter Cirkut. In addition to Lady Gaga’s Mayhem and Lamar’s GNX, the album of the year category includes Swag by pop singer Justin Bieber, Debi Tirar Mas Fotos by Bad Bunny, Man’s Best Friend by Carpenter, Let God Sort Em Out by hip-hop duo Clipse, Pusha T and Malice, Mutt by US musician Leon Thomas, and Chromakopia by US rapper Tyler The Creator.

The song of the year category, which features Lady Gaga and Lamar, also includes Anxiety by Doechii, APT by Bruno Mars and Rose, Golden by HUNTR/X from the Netflix hit KPop Demon Hunters, Manchild by Carpenter, DtMF by Bad Bunny and Wildflower by Billie Eilish and Finneas. This is made up of an almost identical list to the record of the year, except Chappell Roan’s The Subway replaces Golden from the K-pop Demon Hunters soundtrack.

British stars Lola Young and Olivia Dean, who have both topped the UK charts this year, secured nods in the best new artist category, which was last year won by Good Luck, Babe! singer Chappell Roan. Young, who said she would be “going away for a while” after collapsing on stage in September, also has a nod in the pop solo performance category for her number one single Messy.

Sir Elton John and Brandi Carlile have also received a Grammy nomination for their song Never Too Late, which features on the soundtrack of a documentary film about the British music star. Their song, which received an Oscar nomination earlier this year, appears in the category for best song written for visual media.

Elsewhere, BBC concert Live At The Royal Albert Hall, featuring Brit Award-winner Raye, is nominated in the music film category. There are a number of first-time nominees this year as well, including Greedy singer Tate McRae, Swedish singer Zara Larsson and British music star and Mercury Prize nominee PinkPantheress. This year’s nominations included two new categories, traditional country album and best album cover.

A soap star has welcomed their second child after going through a heartbreaking IVF journey. Home and Away’s Luke Jacobz and his wife, Raychel, shared adorable first photos of their baby as they made their happy announcement.

The actor, who played Angelo Rosetta in the Australian soap, shared the exciting news with his followers and confirmed their baby’s name. Luke, 44, and Raychel, 37, were already proud parents to daughter Maisie, who they welcomed through IVF.

Their newborn son was conceived naturally following their long fertility battle. Doting dad Luke shared a series of photos of their little boy as he revealed: “On Monday, our little family of three, grew a little bigger and we are all so in love already. Welcome my baby boy John James Scott.

“We named him after my Dad, Raychel’s Dad and uncle. Named after the men who helped shape both our lives so their legacy can live on.”

Luke also made sure to praise his wife as he added: “Raychel, your bravery, love, true grit and determination to give our Maisie a best friend for life is nothing short of incredible. I saw such strength in you that I never thought possible, I love you with my heart and my soul and promise to teach our boy to be kind, caring, protective and loving.

“He will carry the legacy of the great men he is named after.” In a direct message to his son, the actor continued: “Little Johnny, JJ… I am so proud to be your Dad, you and I will have the most wonderful adventure together, we are going to love and support your mum and sister, because I know they love you so much already.

“I love you Raychel, thank you for giving me the honour to be your babies‘ Dad.” Fans and co-stars rushed to congratulate the couple as Home and Away’s Todd Lasance said: “Amazing news, mate. Congratulations, guys. Incredible.”

A fan commented: “Absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations!” Another added: “So happy for you both!” Luke and Raychel met in 2017 and had started trying for a baby a year later.

However, they realised they were struggling to conceive and started their IVF journey. Sadly, it was a heartbreaking experience for the couple as they suffered three miscarriages.

Maisie was born in 2023, and Luke opened up about the moment Raychel became pregnant with her. “We weren’t expecting that, so we just lost our minds,” he said.

“We were so close to not trying anymore because it was just so hard.” Luke has been in the spotlight for years, having joined the cast of Aussie teen drama Heartbreak High in the 90s.

He went on to star in Home and Away before winning Dancing with the Stars in 2008. Luke recently presented the Australian X Factor.

Princess Beatrice has spoken out about a new job – after her dad was stripped of his titles. In recent weeks, Beatrice and her sister, Princess Eugenie, have remained extremely quiet.

Their father, the former Duke of York, has been engulfed in scandals due to his links with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. And while Beatrice and her sister have an extremely close relationship with their parents, including mother Sarah Ferguson, the two Princesses have not been seen at the soon-to-be former family home, Royal Lodge on the Windsor Great Estate.

But just hours after it emerged that her uncle, King Charles, had stripped Andrew of all regal titles, including Royal Highness and Prince, Beatrice landed herself a new job. Now, she is the Deputy Patron of The Outward Bound Trust. She joins her uncle, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, who is the Royal Patron. Prior to her appointment, the Princess had served as a Trustee for six years.

Her dad, Andrew, had previously held the position of Royal Patron until 2019. Speaking about her appointment, Beatrice, 37, told the Mirror: “I feel incredibly inspired and grateful to have met so many young people like Sadie and Leo through the years that I’ve been a part of Outward Bound. They show us that anything is possible when you put your mind to it, and that what Outward Bound does, works.

“Working with The Duke of Edinburgh, we aim to continue the 80+ years of evidence which shows that adventure can build resilience, confidence and kindness in young people.” On November 6, at an Outward Bound supporters’ event held at St James’s Palace, Beatrice and Edward heard from Sadie and Leo, both 18, students from Walsall Academy, who opened up about their stories with the organisation.

During the event, Sadie handed the Duke of Edinburgh a rowan tree sapling, which symbolises strength, courage and resilience. Meanwhile, Leo presented Princess Beatrice with a Celtic brooch, signifying unity, continuity and good fortune.

Beatrice is no stranger when it comes to raising awareness of charities and organisations. Over the years, the granddaughter of the late Queen Elizabeth has worked alongside the likes of Children in Crisis, UNICEF and Teenage Cancer Trust.

Speaking about Edward’s and Beatrice’s appointment, Martin Davidson, Chief Executive of Outward Bound Trust, said in a statement: “With The Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Beatrice working alongside us, we’re embarking on a new chapter.

“One where every young person has the chance to test their limits, build confidence and discover that anything is possible. Their support reflects a shared belief that adventure changes lives.” The Princess and her uncle will continue the royal legacy of the organisation, which dates back over 70 years, thanks to her grandfather, the late Prince Philip.

The Duke served as Patron of The Outward Bound Trust from 1953 until 2019, and assisted with laying the foundations of the organisation. The news for Beatrice came after Andrew was formally stripped of all his titles – including Royal Highness and Prince, both of which he acquired at birth as the son of a monarch.

The King issued Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm – a legal document authorised by the sovereign. It was published in The Gazette, the UK’s official public record, by the Crown Office and shows that Andrew is no longer entitled to be a prince or hold the style ‘Royal Highness’.

The entry, published on Wednesday, read: “THE KING has been pleased by Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm dated 3 November 2025 to declare that Andrew Mountbatten Windsor shall no longer be entitled to hold and enjoy the style, title or attribute of ‘Royal Highness’ and the titular dignity of ‘Prince’.”

Due to the allegations he faces, all of which he denies, Andrew has found himself shunned by his relatives. Despite having a “cast-iron” lease on his home, Royal Lodge on The Crown Estate, he will now be exiled. Instead, he will live on the privately owned Sandringham Estate and will receive an allowance from the King.

Last month, the King issued a rare and historic statement confirming that the former Prince Andrew, Duke of York, will instead live as a private citizen, known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. It read: “His Majesty has today initiated a formal process to remove the Style, Titles and Honours of Prince Andrew. Prince Andrew will now be known as Andrew Mountbatten Windsor. His lease on Royal Lodge has, to date, provided him with legal protection to continue in residence.

“Formal notice has now been served to surrender the lease, and he will move to alternative private accommodation. These censures are deemed necessary, notwithstanding the fact that he continues to deny the allegations against him. Their Majesties wish to make clear that their thoughts and utmost sympathies have been, and will remain with, the victims and survivors of any and all forms of abuse.”

And while he has been stripped of his titles, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie will retain theirs. This is due to them being the children of a son of the monarch, their grandmother, the late Queen.

Andrew stepped down as a working royal in 2019 after he was accused by Virginia Giuffre of having sex with her in March 2001, when she was just 17. She alleged she had been trafficked by Epstein and his girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell. Virginia claimed that Epstein and his girlfriend had taken her to Tramp nightclub in London, where she met with Andrew and later had sex with him that night.

She claimed that Epstein had paid her $15,000 after sleeping with Andrew. During an interview with BBC’s Newsnight in 2019, Andrew vehemently denied the allegations and told host Maitlis he had no recollection of meeting Virginia. Andrew vehemently denies all allegations made against him.

The nominations for the Grammy Awards have been revealed, and in an unexpected twist, Taylor Swift hasn’t been nominated – despite having one of the biggest albums

View 3 Images

The Grammy Award nominations are out, and Taylor Swift has been snubbed. Meanwhile, Kendrick Lamar has found himself with an impressive nine nominations.

Lamar’s nine nominations for his album GNX are part of a wave of hip-hop albums competing in the Grammys’ top categories, including Tyler, the Creator’s Chromakopia and Let God Sort Em Out from Clipse, Pusha T and Malice. Other top nominees, announced Friday, include Lady Gaga, producer Jack Antonoff and Sabrina Carpenter.

Elsewhere, British rock star Yungblud has been nominated for three gongs at the awards. But it’s Taylor who hasn’t been recognised, despite having the biggest album of the year.

However, Taylor’s Life of a Showgirl failed to find itself in the nominations due to its release date of October 3, 2024. The period of eligibility for the 68th awards was August 31 2024 – August 30, 2025. She won’t be able to submit her record until the 2027 Grammy Awards.

Meanwhile, Timothée Chalamet is up for best compilation soundtrack for visual media for A Complete Unknown, for his portrayal of the great Bob Dylan. But competition is stiff: He’ll have to beat out Wicked, KPop Demon Hunters, Sinners and F1 the Album. Read below for the nominations in full.

Princess Beatrice has been handed a huge new responsibility amid her father, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, stepping down from his position with the same organisation

View 4 Images

Princess Beatrice has been given a new role amidst her father’s fall from grace. The man formally known as Prince Andrew has, in recent days, been stripped of all his regal titles, including his Royal Highness and Prince status.

Earlier this week, an official registration confirmed that King Charles had removed Andrew’s remaining titles via Letters Patent under the Great Seal of the Realm – a legal document authorised by the monarch. The document was published by The Gazette, the UK’s official public record, by the Crown Office and shows the former Duke of York is now legally Andrew Mountbatten Windsor.

Six years ago, Andrew stepped down as Royal Patron of The Outward Bound Trust after his interview with BBC Newsnight’s Emily Maitlis, during which he addressed the allegations surrounding him and his close association with convicted paedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.

Andrew denies all allegations made against him. But now, his eldest daughter, Princess Beatrice, has been appointed Deputy Patron of the organisation, having served as a Trustee for six years. Alongside Beatrice’s appointment, her uncle, Prince Edward, Duke of Edinburgh, has joined the organisation as Royal Patron, following in the footsteps of his father, Prince Philip.

Beatrice, 37, has a longstanding connection to organisations with young people. The princess has always been an advocate for helping younger people develop their confidence, resilience and ambition.

Over the years, she’s raised money for Teenage Cancer Trust, Children in Crisis, and UNICEF. Speaking about Edward’s and Beatrice’s appointment, Martin Davidson, Chief Executive of Outward Bound Trust, said in a statement: “With The Duke of Edinburgh and Princess Beatrice working alongside us, we’re embarking on a new chapter.

“One where every young person has the chance to test their limits, build confidence and discover that anything is possible. Their support reflects a shared belief that adventure changes lives.”

Beatrice and Edward will continue the royal legacy with the organisation, which has a history stretching back over 70 years, dating back to the late Prince Philip, who served as Patron from 1953 until 2019 and helped lay the foundations of the organisation.

The joyous news for Beatrice came just hours after a royal biographer claimed that her father may now have to bow to his daughter. With Andrew no longer a Prince or Royal Highness, his daughters, Beatrice and her younger sister, Princess Eugenie, rank higher than him due to their Princess titles and Royal Highness, which they have retained as the children of the son of a monarch.
