Lavish Christmas decorations

Mark and Michelle are known for going all out at Christmas but this year is extra special because of Palma.

The couple have shared pictures of their lavish decorations for the festive period on Instagram, which include an enormous Christmas tree in their grand hallway, which is decorated with giant red velvet bows and lights.

Entering the house, there are two elegant garlands strewn with lights and red baubles, which are also entwined up the stairs. Complimenting this are silver baubles hung from the ceiling, which gives the mansion a magical feel.

Sources say the Wrights plan on making this festive season “one to remember”, with “no expense spared” as they go all out. An insider close to the couple told OK!: “Mark loves Christmas and he’s wanted a family for a long time, so for him it couldn’t get any better.

“He’s like an excited puppy dog and cherishing every minute of it. It means the world to him.”

Mark and Michelle are both working parents, but family is their priority according to the source, who confirmed that the actress’ family will be coming down from Manchester for Christmas.

Explaining that the Wright family will also be joining in with the celebrations, they said of Michelle: “She’s been really busy but family is her priority. It’s lovely to have some special time together, especially because at one point she and Mark were practically living separate lives because of work.

“Her family are coming down from Manchester but it’s very much a Wright Christmas – family comes first and it’s very important for them to be all together. It’ll be lovely seeing all the kids together.”

Holly Willoughby has reportedly enlisted the help of a car dealer to sell her Mini Cooper car in an attempt to ‘move on’ from car crash that left a motorist with a fractured neck

Former This Morning host Holly Willoughby has reportedly made a big decision after being involved in a car crash earlier this year.

Holly is said to be desperately trying to sell her car after she was involved in a car crash which left a scooter rider with a fractured neck. The TV presenter, 44, is now said to have taken on a car dealer to help sell her Mini Cooper as quickly as possible, after she accidentally hit the scooter driver off his vehicle.

Earlier this week, Holly pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention as the incident is now in the hands of the court. The car is believed to be worth an estimated £25,000.

A source told The Sun: “She wants to get rid of the Mini now and has got a dealer to come and sell it for her. “

They added: “The faster she can get it off her drive and gone for good the better. Holly wants a fresh start and doesn’t feel right driving the car again after what has happened. It really has shaken her up.” The source continued: “She was so upset by the accident and did everything she could to help the man. Now she just wants to move on and get rid of the Mini.” It’s estimated her car could fetch up to £13,000.

Earlier this week a court heard how Holly, who appeared in court documents under her married name of Holly Baldwin, pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention colliding with a scooter rider near her £3m home in August.

A hearing took place this week at Lavender Hill Magistrates’ Court in London, although Holly, whose name appeared in court documents as Holly Baldwin – which is her married name – did not attend. The former This Morning star pleaded guilty to driving without due care and attention via post.

Holly’s legal representative, Aisling Byrnes claimed the married mum of three had a “momentary lapse of judgement.”

She went on to say: “She is extremely remorseful. She left her vehicle and went straight to the driver of the moped and offered him water and her phone and remained at the scene until the officers arrived. She admitted guilt at the scene and pleaded guilty via post as soon as she got the form.”

The court was shown footage of Holly turning right into a side street in her £25,000 black Mini Cooper without indicating and hitting the oncoming white Piaggio scooter. The victim, who was not named, was seen flying off his bike after hitting Holly’s car. He sustained a fractured vertebra in his neck and a broken toe.

Holly received a £2,444 fine which included costs and was penalised with six points on her licence. This comes after she made the decision to quit her role on This Morning, soon after it emerged that a kidnap plot was being planned by a man named Gavin Plumb.

Plumb was found guilty of plotting to kidnap, rape and murder Holly and was sentenced to prison for life with a minimum jail term of 16 years. At the time of her departure, she said she had made the decision to leave the ITV daytime show to spend more time with her family.

Taking to Instagram two years ago, she told fans: “I have let ITV know today that after 14 years, I will not be returning to This Morning. To everyone who has ever worked on the show over the years, thank you so, so much. This is such a difficult goodbye, you are incredible and I forever will be proud of what we’ve done together.

She added: “Most of all, thank you to the wonderful viewers. You’ve been so loyal, so supportive and the very best company every day. Richard and Judy said ‘we only look after this show, it will always belong to the viewers’. Thank you to everyone at ITV for being supportive.”

Holly then went on to say: “To every guest who has sat on our sofa, thank you. It’s been an honour to just be part of it’s story and I know this story has many chapters left to go. Sadly, however, I now feel I have to make this decision for me and my family. “I will miss you all so much.”

Molly Mae has tapped in the celebrity-approved personalised jewellery trend loved by Princess Kate and Michelle Keegan with her sweet tribute to Bambi

View 6 Images

Nameplate and initial accessories have been one of the biggest jewellery trends of the past year. Thanks to major celebs like Michelle Keegan’s Palma necklace, Carrie Bradshaw’s iconic nameplate chain and even Princess Kate’s initial necklace dedicated to her children, it’s clear to see that personalised jewellery is in.

And Molly Mae is one of the latest celebs to tap into the royal-approved trend. First posting her sparkling oversized initial ‘B’ ring for Bambi last November, Molly has posted another snap of the stunning piece on her Instagram.

We don’t know the exact jeweller or shop Molly’s ring is from (and we can’t imagine it’s purse-friendly!). However, we have found two amazing alternatives with Abbott Lyon’s Bubble Initial Ring and PRYA’s Pave Initial Ring.

Princess Kate is another who has joined in this thoughtful trend. Earlier this year, Kate Middleton stepped out in Mull, Scotland, on her and Prince William’s 14th wedding anniversary, sporting a chain necklace featuring the initials of her three children: G, C and L.

While Michelle Keegan posted a touching tribute to her daughter on Mother’s Day, wearing a personalised ‘Palma’ necklace. Michelle tagged the family-run company Chain Reaction Jewellers, who later confirmed it was a “personalised diamond necklace” for her.

The cost of custom diamond pieces can be a significant investment, so we’ve rounded up a few affordable alternatives if you want to join the trend yourself.

Katie Price’s family are worried about her vaping addiction following an Instagram post which stated ‘vaping has officially been linked to rare and irreversible lung disease’

View 6 Images

Katie Price has sparked fresh concerns for her health after admitting on social media that she’s addicted to vaping. Posting a shocking X-ray of a diseased lung on her Instagram stories, carrying the warning: “Vaping has officially been linked to rare and irreversible lung disease”, Katie added her own message, “I have to stop.”

With a history of lung disease in the star’s family, the mum-of-five’s loved ones are particularly concerned about her vape habit. Katie’s mum Amy, 73, has been battling terminal Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) – which causes scarring of the lungs and makes breathing increasingly difficult – for several years and she underwent a lung transplant in 2022.

But Katie, who was spotted vaping on a train last year, and was even seen puffing on one of the devices during her and pal Kerry Katona ’s recent live tour, has so far struggled to quit.

“Katie needs to stop for health reasons and, obviously, her family members have been very worried,” a source tells us. “But she’s so stressed and it [vaping] is simply her way of releasing that stress. “It’s also very addictive and as we know, Katie’s got a very addictive personality.”

Katie’s boyfriend of nearly two years, former Married At First Sight contestant JJ Slater, is said to be particularly worried but feels unable to help the strong-willed star.

“JJ is concerned about her, but there’s only so much he can do,” says our source. “Katie’s under severe stress and just has one thing after another to contend with. He really does love her, but she has got her own mind and sadly, with the vaping, it has become a real habit for her.”

It’s not the first time Katie’s vaping has caused an issue for her loved ones. In October 2023, her sister Sophie, who co-hosts Katie’s podcast, The Katie Price Show, begged, “Can you stop vaping please?” during one episode.

And in November 2024, the star sparked outrage when she was filmed vaping on a train – despite it being banned on the majority of rail networks.

In March this year, it appeared her sister’s warning had fallen on deaf ears as Katie caused online fury after she was pictured vaping in front of her four-month-old niece, Olive. Then, two months ago, fans claimed the star was even vaping on stage, with one saying, “She hid behind a cushion, vaping with stress because her children were there, which meant she couldn’t host the show properly.”

If Katie does try to quit the toxic habit, it won’t be her first attempt at doing so. She previously pledged to give up a couple of years ago, even suggesting that vaping had made one of her teeth fall out.

“I am going to stop it because I don’t know why I do it,” she said during an episode of her hit podcast. “It’s this new, social thing where everyone vapes. I don’t normally like to be a follower, I am usually a leader.

“Do you know what it is, they smell nice. I like the way it just comes out, if you swirl your tongue you really get the taste.”

Revealing that one of her teeth had recently come out, she then suggested that vaping could be to blame. “I swear it is the vape because I put it here – it’s on the tooth that came out,” she explained. “So I wonder if that is what made my tooth fall out?”

Given Katie’s concerns for her mum Amy, whose condition has occasionally left her needing to use a wheelchair, it’s no surprise that she’s alarmed by vaping having possible links to lung disease.

Speaking earlier this year on The Katie Price Show, Katie revealed how Amy has lost her independence due to her illness, saying, “She can’t do the things that she used to do, which is frustrating for her.”

But it seems the more life throws at Katie, the more she turns to vaping. “Whenever she’s feeling stressed, she reaches for the vape,” says our source. “So it’s going to be hard to keep away from them. “She’s worried because of what happened to her mum – her mum is so ill and has to carry around oxygen.”

In September, another source close to Katie described vaping as her “vice”, adding, “Katie can’t live without one and it’s always in the form of addiction. “It’s never healthy, and currently it’s vaping. It’s driven by her addictive nature, and her family are all worried that without getting her help, things could get serious.”

The star has already battled a string of health woes this year. In September, New Magazine revealed how Katie ended up in hospital after accidentally stabbing herself while making a curry. She has also sought medical help for her recent weight loss, telling fans on Snapchat, “The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight and I don’t know why. So that’s that.” Despite the odds being stacked against her, our source believes Katie’s loved ones are hopeful she can win her vaping battle, saying, “It’s something that they’re hoping she will be able to eventually crack.”

And if anyone can manage to crack it, the Pricey can.

Public Health England states that vaping is 95% safer than smoking. However the NHS acknowledges that vaping is not completely harmless.

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! star Vogue Williams reflected on both the highs and lows of her jungle journey after becoming the third contestant to leave the show

View 3 Images

I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! contestant Vogue Williams said she asked producers not to show a “meltdown” she had during a tough time in the jungle. The Irish TV presenter, who is married to Made In Chelsea’s Spencer Matthews, was a latecomer in the camp alongside Tom Read Wilson, who continues to compete in the jungle.

Following her departure as the third celebrity to exit last month, Vogue reunited with her co-host Joanne McNally on their podcast My Therapist Ghosted Me to discuss her jungle experience.

During the conversation, Joanne said she had received a message from a listener who noticed Vogue was “biting her nails a lot” and asked if she was okay. Responding to the concerns, the 40-year-old explained: “Well, loads of people were like ‘she looks sad’.

“But the thing about it is, you are filmed all day long and there are so many cameras in the camp. I don’t walk around smiling all day long everyday, but I was generally quite happy in there. I did have one incident because you know I’m just crazy about my sleep.

“And if I don’t sleep I get anxious and that’s why I worry so much about my sleep,” Vogue revealed, reports Manchester Evening News.

“So, I didn’t sleep that night and then we went out and did the trial another night with the cockroaches and then I was like, ‘Right I’m not going to sleep tonight. And I started having an absolute meltdown just lying there like, ‘Please sleep, please sleep, please sleep’.

“And I had to go up to the BT, so it’s the [Bushtucker] Telegraph where you do all the chats, I started having a panic attack. I was like [out of breath noises] ‘Please don’t show this because everyone will see how mental I am’. I just couldn’t control it and went into full panic mode.”

She continued: “They are actually so nice when that happens because they’re like ‘You’re okay, it’s fine don’t worry’ and they are trying to just talk you through it. And then the next day I was like ‘I need to talk to Sandra’ who is the psych.

“Because I was so panicked that night because my anxiety just hit ninety and I was like, ‘I just have to get rid of this’. [I] went and spoke to her and she just completely reset me and for that whole day I was like I’m totally fine now’.”

Speaking about arriving as one of the two latecomers, Vogue believes it was “a little bit harder” as the original ten campmates had already formed bonds.

“Now when I watch some of the footage back I’m like, ‘Oh, they were a bit annoyed that we’d come in’. But there’s always a couple of latecomers and it wasn’t my choice to go in late they kind of chose me,” she added.

“And I was thrilled at the time because obviously I got more time with the kids and I was delighted. And I still am delighted because it just meant I was away for less time. I think I left on day thirteen and although I was ready to leave. Obviously, I would have stayed longer.”

Tonight, the final four celebrities; Tom, Shona McGarty, Aitch and Angry Ginge will tackle the show’s most legendary Bushtucker trial, the Celebrity Cyclone.
