The quote she shared read: “I don’t remember every gift I opened when I was 5, 6, or even 10. I remember the smell of the kitchen, the glow of the lights, the way love felt louder in December. It wasn’t the presents it was the presence of my parents who did everything they could to make the magic happen.” Adam and Holly will tie the knot at Bath Abbey on December 27th in a Christmas wedding.

Get Me Out of Here Because I’m A Celebrity! Former campmate of Vogue Williams cautioned her against ever letting go of her fears after being covered in snakes.

A former I’m A Celebrity contestant has delivered a chilling warning to Vogue Williams after one particular fear left her requiring therapy.

Ashley Roberts, an ex-Pussycat Dolls member, intentionally kept her crippling snake phobia from ITV bosses when she appeared on the program in 2012, though.

She later admitted that she needed hypnotherapy to deal with her severe fear.

Vogue, a former model and host of the podcast, used a completely different approach.

She sent voice messages to her Heart Radio colleagues revealing her massive snake phobia, whilst also discussing it during her entrance interview, reports the Irish Mirror.

The mother-of-three was inevitably sucked into by Ashley, 44, and I’m A Celeb producers promptly covered her in serpents during a Bushtucker Trial.

Chatting on Heart Radio alongside co-hosts Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston about jungle fears, Ashley recalled: “Before Vogue Williams went in, she sent us a voice note of what her biggest fear was. She then said the same in her first episode.”

Vogue, a native of Dublin, said in the video, “I really don’t want a snake in my knickers.” Is that a reasonable assumption? For my children’s sake, I’m doing it. They’ll enjoy watching me get tangled up with snakes.

Amanda continued, “You don’t fess up what you’re scared of; that’s the worst thing you can do.”

Ashley, drawing on her experience finishing as runner-up behind former EastEnders actress Charlie Brooks, completely agreed. She said: “Exactly. I was so scared of snakes I actually got hypnotherapy for me, didn’t tell a single soul. I did not, and when I had a bet or something it was rats and not snakes. ‘Yes, I’ve won.’

“Such a big snake phobia is now known to her, so guess what she got in her challenge,” she said. She was apprehensive.

When Vogue and TV star Tom Read Wilson were smothered with serpents and trapped in cramped tents, Vogue, who is wed to Spencer Matthews’ reality TV personality, was horrified.

Host Declan Donnelly cheerfully announced: “You’ve got eight minutes left!”.

Vogue responds, “That’s great news,” while maintaining her composure. Thank you for letting me know.

When Ant nonchalantly reveals the shocking detail, “In each of your tents, there are 15 snakes. “Dec mutters:” Oh God… They didn’t need to know that, in my opinion.

She had told her colleagues on Heart Radio before entering the jungle that she was hoping to avoid running into too many snakes.

Jamie Theakston, however, revealed that speaking with contestants on the day of the show before getting to know them was his greatest fear.

He said, “I would be terrified. Everything else would be fine after that. That makes me absolutely terrified.

An Essex-based nail technician has seen a surge in recognition after being revealed as the artist behind the eye-catching green manicures featured in the Wicked films.

Shea Osei, 34, who operates under the name Shades of Shea and boasts over 53,000 Instagram followers, served as Cynthia Erivo’s personal nail technician throughout filming.

Her long, oblong green ombré talons, which are a feature in Elphaba’s first scene, have become a viral hit.

It appears that Wicked’s visibility has sparked a broader discussion about the importance of nails in on-screen storytelling now that viewers have seen her work in the movie. Shea, who designed Erivo’s multiple sets, created the sharply shaped, layered green looks that have attracted attention online and inspired people to recreate her work.

Her nails change from being short to a little longer, the color changes, and it becomes a little more daring, she said, “it just flows seamlessly as she is as Elphaba.”

With Wicked continuing to captivate global audiences and fans who care about every aspect of its design, Shea’s work has emerged as one of the unexpected standouts, firmly establishing her as a leader and bringing long-awaited visibility to her craft. Her bold nail designs have helped carve her name out.

Shea has known Cynthia for more than ten years, but in 2022 she was given the task of designing the nails for the first Wicked movie, which first aired last year.

She worked on 35 press-on nail sets for that production, which lasted 90 minutes between each set, and she was later asked to design new designs for the recently released Wicked: For Good sequel.

Shea began learning nail artistry as a teenager and turned professional at 18 and has cultivated an impressive roster of celebrity clients including Candice Brathwaite and Maya Jama, and previously worked on Erivo’s nails for the Netflix production Luther: The Fallen Sun.

Nevertheless, Shea notices that nails receive considerably less attention in film commentary compared to hair and makeup. “Nails are not so much of a talked-about thing but ever since the first movie [when] she moves her hand behind her hair and everyone sees the nails, that was an epic moment,” she told the BBC.

Although Martin Kemp and his wife Shirlie have been married for 37 years, some friends and family members were against the couple’s decision to tie the knot in Saint Lucia, which the couple have visited since then.

Shirlie Kemp has admitted she “upset a lot of people” by opting for the wedding she “wanted” before marrying husband Martin Kemp. The famous pair have been wed for an incredible 37 years, though their choice to exchange vows on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia reportedly didn’t sit well with certain friends and relatives.

Shirlie and Martin, who is currently appearing on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, wed in 1988 and are parents to two children – son Roman, a TV and radio host, and daughter Harley Moon. The pair were both used to the spotlight – Martin as part of hit 80s group Spandau Ballet, and Shirlie performing as a backing vocalist for Wham!

The couple decided to get married by themselves on a clifftop on the sun-drenched island with views over the Caribbean because of this. Although she acknowledges that it upset “a lot of people,” Shirley says she still believes it was the “wedding I wanted” because of how she recalls it as one of her most memorable experiences.

Chatting on the Travel Secrets podcast, the mother-of-two explained: “It was the wedding I wanted. I had a big fear of weddings and all the attention and to wear a big dress. I think maybe because you’re in the band, in the limelight, that’s enough, that’s really fed my soul,” reports the Manchester Evening News.

“I had a big fear about getting married, so I didn’t need to be the show’s star.” With just Martin around, I would be on my own. Many people were upset by me. Because it wasn’t practical and because we were frequently traveling for work at the time, it’s a beautiful memory.

Shirlie revealed she was inspired to select Saint Lucia as their wedding destination by her bandmate Helen ‘Pepsi’ DeMacque, whose parents emigrated from Saint Lucia to the United Kingdom during the 1950s. Martin described the stunning location for their ceremony on the podcast, which took place with just a single witness in attendance.

Following a “traumatic” visit to China, Martin revealed how his wife Shirlie sought his assistance. As a vocalist for Wham, Shirley traveled to Beijing and Guangzhou. in 1985.

According to legend, hundreds of thousands of people died while the wall was being constructed, making it known as “the longest cemetery on Earth.” On the Travel Secrets podcast, Shirley revealed, “Everything just upset me in a way, I thought, “Who built this wall?” Building’s loss of lives was a culture that I was deeply saddened by.

She also mentioned that there was “something quite traumatizing” that transpired while on the trip.

The Spandau Ballet star and former EastEnders actor, Martin, ended up paying for his wife’s therapy because the costs of the trip “mounted up.” He admitted that Shirlie’s return from China cost him a lot of money in therapy. The truth is that.

His then-girlfriend begged for another vacation after returning from the Far East. She demanded, “Martin, take me to Florida, I need to go somewhere brand-new.”

The trip to Florida was not just the therapy, according to Martin, but it was also. Everything was “mountaining up.”

How the “Stranger Things” star and the woman who wrote Lily Allen’s revenge song may have quietly reconnected behind the scenes, from steamy sauna sightings to secret set visits.

It sounds like a plot twist worthy of Stranger Things, but the drama surrounding David Harbour’s love life has officially moved from the Upside Down to the frozen north of Canada.

Just weeks after his estranged wife, Lily Allen, dropped her explosive ‘divorce album’ West End Girl – featuring a track dedicated to a mistress she names only as “Madeline” – the actor has been hit by fresh claims that he may have gone back to the very woman at the centre of the scandal.

While Allen’s lyrics ask ‘Who the f*** is Madeline?’, Natalie Tippett, the costume designer Harbour first met on the set of 2023 film We Have a Ghost, has confessed that it is indeed her. And if reports are to be believed, the pair are very much back on.

According to an insider, the pair have kept in touch and may have even grown closer as a result of the song’s controversy. “We know that he and Natalie have been together recently,” a source told the Daily Mail.

But what else has fuelled the chatter? Here, The Mirror explores the ‘evidence’ that fans say suggest they’re back on…

When Tippett shared images of herself apparently at the Winnipeg Thermea Spa Village while Harbour, 50, was in town filming the sequel to his action film Violent Night, her tongues wagging.

Prior to Lily’s new album’s release, Harbour is said to have been resident of the Canadian city until October 15 when she was alleged to have spent nine days there. Tippett posted a carousel of photos with the caption “lately” on September 5. A campfire photo that appears to be in line with the Therma Spa Village’s outdoor relaxation areas was also included in the collection.

Meanwhile, several guests told the Mail that they’d seen Harbour in the spa’s sauna on numerous occasions. One fan wrote on Facebook: “It’s a good thing for stars like David Harbour that you can’t have your cell phone with you at Thermëa Spa. He was sitting right beside my wife and I in the sauna! He’s in Winnipeg shooting a movie.”

While Harbour was away for work, Tippett, a single mother from New Orleans, was not in a formal relationship with the production. There is rife with rumors that she was visiting him only because of her apparent presence in the Canadian city, which is thousands of miles away from her New Orleans residence with her two-year-old daughter.

It comes after Tippett admitted she had heard the song but demanded privacy to protect her young daughter in an interview that she had identified herself as the woman behind the pseudonym. I’ve heard the song, of course. I need to protect my family. For me, it’s a little scary,” she said at the time.

Madeline, Lily Allen’s new song, exposes her version of events and accuses her husband of breaking the law in their open marriage. The lyrics begin with “I know none of this is your fault… but you’re not a stranger, Madeline,” as they say in reference to deciphering incriminating texts.

No one has yet formally stated the status of their relationship, excluding Tippett and Harbour.

Bessie was the first to joke jokingly under her mother’s proud grid post, posing as embarrassed, asking, “Why do you hate me?” Then, a fan wrote, “Oh Bess, Darlin, she loves you so much.”

One follower quickly discovered the family likeness and remarked, “Bessie gets her beautiful looks from your mother. One follower praised “Wow! A natural beauty is inspiring to see. Nothing here is false. Happy birthday, everyone. Another person wrote, “She’s beautiful Lucy!”

Back in May 2006, it was one other than Sharon Osbourne who accidentally revealed that Lucy, now 55, was pregnant with Bessie, during the first episode of The X Factor: Battle of the Stars.

Lucy and Bessie’s father, Richard, who has been married since 2006, ended their union, saying it had “gone its course.” Richard met Lucy on a flight to Dubai and recognized her as a TV star.

According to a source at the time, Lucy and Richard attempted to make things work, but in the end decided to split up.

Lucy previously opened up about her split to , confessing, “It was weird the way it just came out as it was quite a long time after we’d actually separated. But people didn’t really pressure us and there was no big shebang about it. We were kind of left alone, which was lovely.”

The actress is famed for playing Lisa Fowler on Albert Square, appearing on EastEnders from 1998 to 2003, and was part of the show’s now iconic Who Shot Phil? Storyline, but has gone on to play other TV roles, including as a police officer in Paramount crime thriller curfew, in 2023.

She acknowledged that it almost became an EastEnders reunion when describing that role at the time. According to Lucy, the loosely based book After Dark, which deals with men being locked up between 7 p.m. and 7 a.m., is loosely based on the book.

It’s a bit of a conversation starter about violence against women, not advocating for men’s locking, but it’s a sci-fi exploration of a parallel universe. What if that were the case, it asks?

‘It was bizarre at the readthrough, I was sitting opposite Anita Dobson. She’d gone by the time I left EastEnders. And Larry Lamb I’d met through working on New Tricks.’
