A founding star of iconic group Siouxsie and the Banshees’ has died. Post-punk music icon Kenny Morris, who helped to launch the band in 1977 and played on their first two albums, was 68. No cause of death has been announced.

Musician and music journalist John Robb wrote a touching tribute to the star for the website Louder than War, writing: “Kenny was a friend of ours, and it was always a pleasure to see and hang out with him when visiting Cork in Ireland, where he had been living.

“He was sweet, articulate, artistic and fascinating company and his beautiful eccentricity was adorable. He would turn up in a suit and a dress with open handcuffs on one hand and the next time in a totally different yet perfectly created bricolage of style, whilst still dressing in the artful confrontation of the 1976 punk era that he was such a key part of.”

The Strictly Come Dancing star, who competed in the most recent series of the BBC show, revealed that he “wasn’t selected”, but that doesn’t mean he’s hung up his shoes just yet

A Strictly Come Dancing star claims he was snubbed from the upcoming live show as he was “too far down the pecking order”. Chris Robshaw, a former rugby union player who competed in the latest series of the BBC show, exited Strictly in week four back in October 2025, alongside his professional partner, Nadiya Bychkova.

He was the third contestant to leave the series, which was ultimately won by Karen Carney and Carlos Gu, after being eliminated in the dreaded dance-off against EastEnders star Balvinder Sopal and Julian Caillon.

In the fateful episode, Chris and Nadiya performed a salsa to Maria by US singer-songwriter Ricky Martin, while Balvinder and Julian showcased their paso doble to Diablo Rojo by Rodrigo y Gabriela.

Strictly judges Anton Du Beke and Shirley Ballas voted to save Chris, but Motsi Mabuse and deciding voter Craig Revel Horwood chose Balvinder, spelling the end for Chris’ ballroom journey.

Now that the 2025 series has wrapped, the Strictly live tour is set to begin in Birmingham next week. Sadly, however, Chris “wasn’t selected”, but that doesn’t mean he’s hung up his dancing shoes just yet.

Speaking at the Royal Albert Hall during the premiere of OVO by Cirque Du Soleil, he told The Mail’s Richard Eden: “I wasn’t selected unfortunately. I was too far down the pecking order, which is a shame, as it would have been great fun.

“So it’s back to the rugby world and maybe I’ll dance in the corporate rooms with a glass of champagne.”

It hasn’t discouraged him from practicing his moves at home either. Chris, who shares a one-year-old son named Hunter with his wife, Camilla Kerslake, revealed that they “dance with our little boy”.

He added: “We dance with our little boy because he also likes dancing. Pretty much all the music I danced to on the show he loves, so we always have it on. “

Following his departure from the show last year, Chris shared his thanks to those on the show for what he termed to be an “amazing journey”, with his exit reportedly met with sadness from the other competitors and his wife.

Indeed, she even revealed that she “wanted to climb over the desk” and give a certain judge “what for”.

Speaking previously to The Mail, she said: “I hope my big mouth won’t get Chris in the bottom two.

“I was furious last week, a protective wife, and I wanted to climb over the desk and give Craig what for. I’m so protective of my husband. I know how hard he’s working, how much this means to him, and I reacted. “

Representatives of the Strictly Come Dancing Live Tour have been contacted for comment.

Gordon Ramsay was overcome with emotion as he saw his daughter Holly in her wedding dress for the first time, with the touching moment captured in a video shared by the bride

Holly Ramsay has melted hearts after sharing a deeply emotional moment from her wedding day, capturing the second her famous father Gordon Ramsay saw her in her bridal dress for the very first time.

In the touching video, which Holly posted for her followers on Instagram, the usually tough-talking TV chef is reduced to tears, overcome with emotion as his daughter steps into view.

The clip, which Holly captioned: “A moment we have talked about since I was a little girl, I’ll always be your bug I love you dad”, shows Holly moments before walking down the aisle, dressed in an elegant white gown as she prepares for one of the biggest days of her life.

When Gordon walks into the room and sees her, his reaction is instant. His face crumples, his hands fly to his mouth and he struggles to hold back tears, clearly moved by the sight of his daughter all grown up and ready to marry the love of her life.

Holly, 25, can be seen smiling warmly at her dad, clearly touched by his reaction. The moment perfectly captures the close bond the pair share, something Gordon has spoken about many times over the years.

The emotional “first look” took place ahead of Holly’s wedding to Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, whom she married in a stunning ceremony surrounded by family and close friends in December 2025.

The joyous occasion was marred by a bitter family row that resulted in Adam’s own mother being excluded from the ceremony, with his sister Bethany being the only family member from his side present on the day.

The couple, who have been together for several years, got engaged in 2023 and have often shared glimpses of their relationship on social media, delighting fans with their obvious affection and support for one another.

This update also comes after reports suggest his family have told friends they’ve ‘given up hope’ of mending fences with their son following Gordon Ramsay’s recent remark.

The celebrity chef, aged 59, referred to himself as ‘dad’ in a comment on Adam’s wedding video where the Olympian declared he would ‘always choose’ his new wife Holly. In a touching wedding video shared on Instagram, Gordon penned: “Beautiful words @adamramsaypeaty True Love. Congratulations love you both so much dad.”

Gordon also left his followers in tears as he shared a sweet look at his daughter Holly’s wedding to Adam. All eyes were on the newlyweds following a highly public fallout between the Olympian and his parents.

But all seems well with his new in-laws with the famous chef sharing a gushing tribute a reel of snaps from the big day last month, including a snap of the chef holding a microphone and delivering his now-famous speech. Posting on Instagram , an emotional Gordon described the day as a “moment I’ll never ever forget”.

He gushed: “One of the most exciting car journeys ever in a father’s life is on the way to the Church with your beautiful daughter, incredible conversations and helping her to stay calm and relaxed ahead of our walk down the aisle, @hollyramsaypeaty @adamramsaypeaty @tanaramsay a moment I’ll never ever forget.”

Both Adam and Gordon’s daughter Holly were quick to repay the sentiment in the comments section, with Holly saying: “I love you dad xx,” and Adam simply sharing three white love hearts.

Among the photos uploaded was Gordon and his daughter clutching each other’s hands on the journey to the ceremony. The was also a snap of the proud dad having a dance with his daughter in the evening party.

Other uploads showed Gordon and wife Tana with their daughter, and Gordon clearly enjoying sharing his speech with the crowd. The last image seemingly showed Gordon and Holly sharing the first dance together.

A number of followers shared memes of people in tears, while another wrote about Holly: “Okay but your dress.” After sharing a crying emoji face, they continued: “So beautiful! I hope to find something like it!”

If you’ve been eyeing up Ranvir Singh’s statement jumpsuit on Good Morning Britain this week then you’re in luck, because it’s now got a huge £80 off – but you’ll have to be quick

The Good Morning Britain presenters have become something of a go-to for sophisticated, easy-to-wear outfit inspiration, and this week’s look from Ranvir Singh is no exception. Whilst the other broadcasters on GMB are known for their love of dresses, Ranvir regularly opts for a jumpsuit instead, and her burgundy pick from earlier this week was the perfect example of why they’re just as chic (if not more so) than a midi dress.

We managed to track down her exact jumpsuit, which is the Emily Burgundy Jumpsuit from Phase Eight, and were delighted to spot that it’s currently on sale with a huge £80 off. Usually priced at £159, it’s now available for £79, with the discount applied to both the petite and regular length versions.

The jumpsuit is the perfect choice for those occasions where you want to look smart without relying on a dress, with its tailored waist and flowing fabric making it comfortable and easy to wear whilst still being stylish. Coming in a very on-trend burgundy colour, the Emily Burgundy Jumpsuit has wide leg, flowing trousers and a relaxed shirt-style bodice that features voluminous sleeves which gather at the cuffs.

Its collared neckline keeps it smart whilst letting you decide if you want it buttoned to the top or left with a couple of buttons undone for a more laid-back look. The buttons themselves are covered in glittering crystals for some added glitz and playfulness, making this the perfect ‘desk to drinks’ outfit.

Ranvir paired her Emily Burgundy Jumpsuit with a pair of silver heels with a pointed toe to amp up the glamour, but you could just as easily wear it with some knee high boots underneath, or a pair of chunky loafers if you want to dress it down slightly for the office. The jumpsuit is proving so popular that it’s already starting to sell out in multiple sizes, with several options already showing as low stock.

We have spotted some other great alternatives on the high street, like this Burgundy Satin Short Sleeve Jumpsuit from Whistles which is now £65 down from £169. It comes in both navy and burgundy, and has a slightly more relaxed silhouette that’s perfect for everything from the office to a wedding.

If you’re after comfort, New Look’s Dark Burgundy Belted Wide Leg Jumpsuit is made from a lightweight jersey with a crinkled texture, whilst still maintaining a tailored, smart silhouette. It’s also on sale, down to just £16 from £35.99.

However Ranvir’s Emily Burgundy Jumpsuit has gotten high praise from Phase Eight shoppers, with one saying: “Good fit, true to photograph and description.”

Another agreed: “Lovely item, well made and true to size. So happy with my purchase.”

A third added: “Comfortable and a perfect fit. Love it.”

The only negative review read: “Zip of very poor quality” with no further details, which could be something to consider when making your purchase.

Coleen Nolan says she’ll be financially worse off after the sweeping changes being made to ITV’s daytime schedule behind the scenes with Loose Women only airing during term time

View 4 Images

As the much-discussed cutbacks in ITV’s daytime schedule begin to bite, veteran Loose Women panellist Coleen Nolan – who has been with the show since its inception – has spoken frankly of her concerns about the changes.

“We’ll only be on during term time now,” she explained on the Not My Bagg podcast. “So all the holidays will be off.”

She added: “On one hand, you go ‘quite nice time off.’ but then on the other hand, you go: ‘I’ve till got bills to pay.’”

Coleen believes that, given the scale of the cuts, Loose Women was lucky to have survived at all: “It could have been worse,” she said. “They could have said: ‘By the way, we’re not recommissioning it. See you later’.”

As part of the huge budget cuts, there have been major changes to shows such as Good Morning Britain (GMB), Lorraine, and This Morning as well as Loose Women. Production has been shifted out of ITV’s huge studio in west London and to a much smaller facility in Covent Garden – where there will no longer be room for Loose Women’s live studio audience.

Coleen said: “I love having the audience there. You know, you get all the feedback from the audience and the adrenaline from the audience. So that’s going to be really weird for us.”

The absence of a live audience has been noticed by viewers too, with Loose Women fans making comments on social media such as: “The audience makes a huge contribution to the atmosphere of the show. Bring them back.”

It’s not only the audience that have disappeared, but many of the show’s backstage staff too. While Coleen has complain that her income will be reduced, some 220 people have lost their livelihoods altogether.

Coleen, 60, says that while she understands the reasoning behind all the cost-cutting, she’s still been very sad to say goodbye to so many backstage personnel that she has known for years: “They’ve all got to find new jobs,” she said. “So there’s a sadness.

“I understand that it’s a business, and sometimes in business hard decisions have to be made and nowadays it is all about budgets.

“TV is so different now. I mean, if you think of how many channels there are, the competition… I can’t even count how many channels there are.

“It’s a different era now to what it was 25 years ago. When I was a kid, there was three channels. That’s how old I am!

“When I did the Cliff Richard series when I was nine, that went out on a Saturday night and there were 23 million every week watching that show.”

One venture that Coleen will be embarking on to replace the substantial dent that the ITV cuts have made in her life – and in her income – is a live tour. She’s following her hit 2024 show Naked with a new one-woman show called This Is Me which kicks off next month.

The show will take audiences through Coleen’s life story. It starts with her childhood in Blackpool and following the story of success that began before her ninth birthday with an appearance on The Cliff Richard show as part of the original six-strong Nolan Sisters.

But Coleen will also touch on the more difficult aspects of her life, including her divorces from Shane Ritchie and Ray Fensome, as well as her shock basal-cell carcinoma diagnosis.

“People have asked me whether my honesty and openness has ever left me feeling vulnerable,” she told Woman’s Weekly. “I can only answer that I can sleep better knowing I’ve been honest.”

One buyer who bestowed this hair styler with 5 stars beams: “This is an incredible buy! I am so impressed with how amazing this style my hair, within minutes I get wavy hair. The quality of this is great, easy to use with temperature settings and a beautiful pouch in the box. Amazing value for money. This beats my ordinary hair straighteners and curling tongs.”

Another shopper shares: “These are great for curling your hair. I was able to get one side done the first time perfectly. I will need to practice on the other side, as it wasn’t curling at all. Definitely my technique.”

Further praise comes from this customer, who raves: “2 in 1 straight to curl, best thing I’ve ever ordered, curls lasted over 24hrs, and my hair doesn’t hold curls, easy to use, but I YouTubed it.”

One buyer does share one gripe, writing: “Hoped for more but not that good as straighteners go, these are at best average.”

But the accolades pour in from plenty of others, as this 5-star rater exclaims: “Literally the best product I’ve every bought! They come in a cute box in a bag with the glove, mat and 2 clips. Got them tonight and gave it a whirl and I have very thinning hair but they worked a dream especially for a girl thats not very good at anything beauty wise!!! Will save me loads of time! I highly recommend this product! Especially for the price. All I will say is if you have thin hair do bigger chunks rather than loads of little ones. Also I paid for this product. Not an ad.”
