Declan Donnelly and Ant McPartlin have discussed the reasons behind their decision to create a podcast. Dec, 50, claimed that the pair don’t spend as much time together anymore as they did when Dec got around to organizing it.
This, he said, was down in large part to the fact that they’re both fathers to small children, and Ant, also 50, has moved further away.
He continued, “We’re now fathers to very young children, and they take up a lot of time, effort, and energy in particular. We don’t hang out as much as we once did, despite my deep love for them. Since the ancestor has relocated, our geographical separation has never been greater.
We decided to create a podcast to sit down and talk some trash together and let you join in too. “So we don’t get to hang out as much and talk rubbish anymore.
Dec has two children with his wife Ali Astall, daughter Isla and son Jack, with the former born in 2018 and the latter coming later in 2022. Ant has a baby son Wilder with his wife Anne-Marie Corbett, alongside co-parenting her two teenage daughters from a previous relationship.
Whilst this is the first podcast the presenting duo have hosted, they made their podcast debut when they appeared on Fearne Cotton’s Happy Place earlier this week. The pair discussed their multi-decade careers with their fellow presenter.
During the interview, Declan admitted that he occasionally suffers from anxiety, the I’m A Celebrity host admitted: “I struggle a bit with, it’s kind of a low level, constant anxiety about ‘should be doing this’ or ‘I’ve got to be doing…
I never feel like I can sit down and watch TV; instead, I feel like I should be doing something else. There is the skepticism that I should be performing a task somewhere.
I have a lot of trouble with that, trying to calm down the voice in your head that says, “No, you should be using this time more productively.” About five, five, or six years ago, I had therapy. I really enjoyed it a lot. I really liked it.
Dec acknowledged, however, that he was still getting around it when he went back to therapy because he was told the therapist couldn’t see him and that it was harder for him.

He continued, “He did recommend someone else, and I have those details still; I haven’t managed to schedule an appointment yet.”
Declan acknowledged in the interview that the pair had conducted a pilot podcast “some 15 years ago” but hadn’t advanced despite his battles on screen.

22 Kids and Counting star Sue Radford looks unrecognisable after dropping two stone with a simple exercise routine and mental shift. Wanting to prioritise her physical health, the mum-of-22 has been hitting the gym on a regular basis – and has lost so much weight people have been mistaking her for one of her daughters.
She shared the two exercises that helped her reduce her dress sizes in an Instagram post. She claimed that she burned off 207 calories while working out on the treadmill for 30 minutes. Today spent 15 minutes working the stairmaster. Tomorrow I have a 20-minute goal.
After that, she hydromassed for about 25 minutes, which helps to relieve stress, improve circulation, and aid muscle recovery. It comes after Sue showed off her weight loss by posting a mirror selfie of herself in a matching black gym outfit.
“Housework done,” she captioned her Instagram post. Run a Tip. car was altered Time to hit the gym now. Monday with a thesis. #Gym #Housework #Motivation #Gym #Housework #.
In the comments, some fans expressed their satisfaction with the 50-year-old, with one saying, “I thought this was Sophie for a second”!
“Thought you were one of the girls… Well done, Sue,” another user said.
You look incredible, Sue, according to a third user. Another user remarked, “Wow, amazing. “You go, girl,” another user said.
Sue revealed last year that she had already lost about two stone on a fitness journey.
She later expressed her relief at reaching her “eight-stone bracket,” which had previously been her goal weight, and explained that her size 12 pants are now loose.
She wrote on Instagram, “I never thought I’d ever wear anything like this again, but now that I’ve lost nearly two stone, I feel so much healthier and more confident.”

I felt terrible after eating sour food because I had put on so much weight.

“I’m now back in the eight-stone bracket, which is where I wanted to be,” I’m really pleased.
Sue is regarded as the matriarch of the largest family in Britain. When she gave birth to Christopher, a 36-year-old boy, at the age of 14, she was only 14 years old.
While the fallout between the Beckham and the Peltz families has been well documented, just how it began has always been unclear, but a source has claimed they’ve uncovered the moment

Brooklyn’s bombshell statement earlier this week appeared to put any end to hopes of reconciliation with his parents David and Victoria Beckham.
In the bombshell statement the aspiring chef, 26, laid out several claims about his parents in which he blamed them for the fall out – alleging he had been “controlled” and claimed Sir and Lady Beckham had “been trying endlessly to ruin my relationship” with wife Nicola, 31.
While Instagram post does make a series of allegations from throughout the feud, Brooklyn doesn’t pinpoint where and when the fall out began – which has remained somewhat a mystery since reports of the feud first surfaced. But now, an insider has claimed they can pinpoint the moment where things went awry between the Peltzs and the Beckhams – and it all began with a ‘misstep’ by the Beckhams when they first met Nicola’s parents.

It is claimed the two families met when the Beckhams invited Nelson and Claudia Peltz to their £76 million home in Palm Beach, Florida – which didn’t take place until after Brooklyn and Nicola were engaged due to the pandemic. A source claimed to the Daily Mail: “‘When they first went to the Peltz house, the Beckhams sent their security team in advance to sweep the place.
“It’s standard procedure when you are a couple with that level of fame, but it did not go down well with the Peltz family. They have their own security, of course, and naturally it is the best that money can buy, so there was no need for their visitors to do this. It raised eyebrows.” The source added: “The feeling was that the Beckhams were somehow saying they were more important than the Peltzes. It was a simple misstep, but a bad start.”
By Brooklyn’s own admission there were tensions before he walked down the aisle to Nicola as he said in his statement: “My mum cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design, forcing her to urgently find a new dress.” He also said: “Weeks before our big day, my parents repeatedly pressured and attempted to bribe me into signing away the rights to my name, which would have affected me, my wife, and our future children. They were adamant on me signing before my wedding date because then the terms of the deal would be initiated. My holdout affected the payday, and they have never treated me the same since.”

Since the bombshell post set the internet alight, brand Beckham has continued to keep on rolling on like it’s business as usual. David made a public appearance at the World Economic Forum in Switzerland shortly after the explosive post, while Victoria broke her silence yesterday to wish her pal Emma Bunton a happy birthday on Instagram. It has also been reported Lady Victoria plans to attend Emma’s 50th birthday celebrations over the weekend.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn’s brother Cruz released tickets for his debut gig at London’s Courtyard Theatre on March 27 – with tickets selling out within minutes of them being released. While their careers seem unscathed, it’s clear their relationship with Brooklyn is beyond repair as the eldest Beckham son sadly stated in his explosive post: “I do not want to reconcile with my family.”
Princess Andre and her daughter Princess Andre were seen together last week on a shopping trip to Selfridge’s, and Kate Price has responded to the photos.

Former glamour model Katie Price admitted to being “horrified” by her “gaunt” appearance in last week’s photos of her out and about with her daughter Princess.
As the mother of five, 47, and daughter Princess, 18, traveled to the posh Selfridges department store in central London. Unfortunately, the enjoyable experience was ruined by concern as viewers expressed their concerns about Katie’s appearance following her recent weight loss.
The comments on her Instagram page were flooded with messages about concerns for Katie’s health as her daughter Princess shared a video of the mother-daughter shopping trip. Katie has spoken out about her shock after the images were released online, saying she was “horrified” when she saw the photos and has since decided to seek medical care to understand her recent weight loss.
The former glamour model’s sister and co-host Sophie asked her to talk about those photos with her and Princess at Selfridges during the most recent episode of her podcast, The Katie Price Show.

We didn’t see a photographer, Katie said, “First of all, we were running to the train because it was raining down.” They have doctored the pictures, so I was horrified when I saw them. That’s not how my face looks. I’m aware that Jesus possesses my gauntness. However, I do appear to be in pain, which is why I’m visiting the doctor tomorrow. I’ve said to people “Yes, I know I’ve lost weight,” but I don’t know how many times, and it’s obvious why I did it.
Then Sophie inquired: “What is the real story behind it?” Katie responded, “I know what your family has to say to me, but that is not what the papers are saying. We are all aware of how difficult it is to sort it out, and I’ll let everyone know as soon as I can. However, because I look so bad, it has had an impact on me, and I’ve had filler applied to my face, which I didn’t want to. Katie added, “I just want to put on some weight, I’m not,” adding that. Everyone is aware of what I eat because I consistently consume what I want.
Katie revealed earlier in the podcast, titled Weight Loss Scrutiny, that she had scheduled a doctor’s appointment and would be taking a blood test as Sophie, Sophie’s sister, had questioned her about how much she had cared for herself. What else have you been doing besides the non-surgical surgery, and have you been eating well? Sophie asked the model. Have you been taking vitamins lately? Have you ever drank water? I’ve been drinking a lot of water because I’ll have a blood test tomorrow, Katie said.
A source just last month revealed that the Mirror Katie’s family was concerned for the actress’s health after she was seen posing awkwardly with friends at Yasmin Oukhellou’s business launch event. A source close to Katie acknowledged that the couple had “sincere” conversations about the star’s well-being and acknowledged that they had weight loss concerns. According to a source who spoke to the Mirror, “They do share their concerns with Kate and have open, honest conversations with her about her mental health and weight loss.”
“Those conversations are private within the family, and they are a result of love, care, and support. How much Kate has already been through and overcame is something that people too frequently overlook. She is actively working on her well-being, which is and always will be. Our source responded to alleged friend Kate’s recent claims that her weight loss was “absolutely devastating” and was “absolutely unnecessary.”
It reduced a very real, very personal journey to a sensationalized narrative because it was cruel, hurtful, and profoundly insensitive. The impact those words might have, not just on Kate but also on her family, was not taken into account.
In another episode of the podcast, mother Katie revealed her “tough” week with son Harvey, 23, as he returned to his temporary housing ahead of his planned move away from his mother. Along with autism, septo-optic dysplasia, ADHD, and cortisol deficiency, Harvey has a number of health issues. And the mother revealed that the transition was unsettling after staying with Katie recently.
Katie stated in the most recent episode of her podcast, “I’ve had Harvey as well, and he’s been bad. He threw my bedroom furniture around because he didn’t want to go and cried because it made me think of when he was younger. You are aware of the enormous bulbs I use in my tropical lights, which I have two. And then suddenly his iPad completely destroyed, breaking it beyond repair. Then, because he was that bad, they weren’t even going to take him in the car to the train station. Then, I’ve been receiving messages from his location all week. He has popped two of the enormous, large windows out and broke another iPad he got because they made them – not bullet-proof but Harvey-proof. All because I asked, “What caused it,” and they responded, “Because he wants you.” He simply enjoys spending time with me at home.
Then, according to Katie, Harvey “just goes to Little Hampton and Mummy” next week because he detests it there and wants to see me there every day. So Harvey has had a difficult week.

This week, Brooklyn Beckham blasted his parents David and Victoria Beckham, accusing them of controlling him for the rest of his life, destroying his wedding, and giving “Brand Beckham” precedence over his and his wife Nicola Peltz, 31.

Countless people were left floored this week as Brooklyn Beckham unleashed a blistering online tirade against his celebrity parents in a blunt six-page Instagram post. Brooklyn, 26, slammed his parents David and Victoria Beckham accusing them of controlling him throughout his entire life, destroying his wedding and prioritising “Brand Beckham” over him and his wife Nicola Peltz, 31.
In the weeks leading up to the wedding, Brooks also claimed that his parents had been “trying endlessly to ruin” his relationship with billionaire Nicola. Additionally, he claimed that Nicola’s mother, a fashion designer, “cancelled making Nicola’s dress in the eleventh hour despite how excited she was to wear her design.” “
Additionally, Brooklyn accused mum Victoria, 51, of embarrassing him at his wedding by dancing “inappropriately” during their first dance.
In Palm Beach, Florida, in April 2022, the lavish wedding took place. 500 people attended the lavish ceremony, along with a large number of celebrities.

Two years after his wedding, Brooks’ comments this week are a far cry from the heartfelt social media posts he made about his mother in 2024.
Brooklyn shared a sweet black-and-white photo of him with Victoria cuddling him while they were sitting on a sofa on Mother’s Day in March of that year.
Happy Mother’s Day, dearest to the best mother, dearest to you, dearest to you, dearly. “
Brooklyn was photographed eating a banana while sat on Victoria’s lap in a photo that was shared a month later on April 17th, which was also shared with him. Happy birthday, mum, I love you so much, and I hope you had the most amazing day, he wrote in the caption. ‘
Brooklyn and Nicola held a vow renewal ceremony in August 2025 after the issues at their original wedding. It was a much smaller, more intimate celebration at Nicola’s family property in Westchester, New York, with fewer than 20 guests.

Nelson Peltz, Nicola’s father, conducted the ceremony, and Nicola donned a modified version of her mother’s wedding dress from 1985.
Additionally, Brookyn’s brothers Romeo, 23, Cruz, 20, and his sister Harper, 14, both went missing from the ceremony.
According to reports, Victoria has been ‘in bits’ over Brooklyn’s statement this week, with sources close to the Beckhams telling The Mirror: “Victoria is on the floor, shocked to pieces that her son would do this.
Everyone is shocked, they say. However, Victoria is completely unmoved by this. She worries, too, that Brand Beckham’s career will end with accusations of falsehood and pretended relationships, just like David. They are concerned about what else he will release. “
In the days leading up to his shocking statement, David and Victoria Beckham accused him of disrespecting his wife in a secret message sent to their son.

David and Victoria Beckham sent a message to their son before he unleashed his fury in a scathing statement six page Instagram post.
Brooklyn sent a legal letter to his parents days before the incident, outlining his mental health issues and urging them to stop including him in their online posts because they were speaking.
Despite the extreme cold between them, David and Victoria have been filming their eldest child for a year, sending him numerous olive branches from afar. David made yet another very public appeal to Brooklyn on New Year’s Eve by expressing his love for his four children with images of them all in a sentimental way.
Brooklyn was alarmed by the attempted attacks, who wrote a letter to his attorneys pleading for them to stop. The cease-and-desist notice caused David and Victoria to be so horrified that they feared it had been sent by Brooklyn’s in-laws rather than their son. They responded with their own letter, which was addressed solely to Brooklyn, in an effort to reach out.
Without the influence of the Peltz family, David and Victoria believed that this was the only way to communicate with him.
Give us a signal that you’re okay because we care about you, I said. According to a source, everything they have done for Brooklyn has been done with love and concern.
Brooklyn’s outburst came as a result of the power couple’s concern, who went on to issue a bombshell statement criticizing his parents, in which he claimed his wife had been “consistently disrespected.”
Continue reading the article.
No matter how hard we’ve worked together as a family, my wife has consistently been disrespected by my family. He wrote, “My mother has repeatedly invited women from my past into our lives in ways that were obviously meant to make us both uncomfortable.”
We were turned down for a week as we waited in our hotel room while planning meaningful time with my dad, but we still made it to London for his birthday. With 100 guests and cameras circling every corner, he refused to cooperate with our attempts, unless it was at his grand birthday party. When Nicola wasn’t invited, he finally agreed to see me. A slap in the face was used. When my family moved to LA later, they initially denied seeing me.
