This is the emotional moment JoJo Siwa was reunited with love Chris Hughes as he touched down in the US to spend Christmas with her.

In the video, JoJo, 22, is seen escorting her boyfriend and giving him a big hug in the airport. As they embraced, Chris appeared to be shedding tears in his eyes.

It comes after the couple – who met on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year – recently spent five weeks apart, which Chris recently confessed was the longest they hadn’t seen each other since getting together after starring on the ITV reality show.

Chris will also celebrate his 33rd birthday on December 22 while he is celebrating the holiday season with his family in Orlando. Chris revealed his Christmas plans earlier this month when he described JoJo as “She’s back in America at the moment… I’m going out to Orlando to see her family the week before Christmas.”

He continued, “This will be, this space now, this is like the longest I have been gone since I haven’t seen her,” in a statement to the Daily Mail. By the time I see her again, it will be almost four or five weeks. Therefore, I’ll see her the week before Christmas.

Since JoJo and Chris first met in the Big Brother house, they have been a couple forever. They later revealed the relationship status despite initially claiming they were just friends at the time.

And things could be getting even more serious between the pair, as the Mirror exclusively revealed Chris is preparing to pop the question – and could ask JoJo to marry him over Christmas. Babies are also on the cards in the future.

They are very, very loved-up, according to our source. Both of them have common interests and are very family-oriented, which is what JoJo is really hoping to do. I believe it will be planned because Chris is also interested in it more than she is, in fact. Over the holidays, it will be discussed. They’re going to have a wonderful time together celebrating Christmas. I predict it will occur sooner than later.

Our source claims that we shouldn’t have to wait too long before there is some good news to celebrate in 2026 because the couple are said to be so eager to hear the patter of tiny feet. They assert that “all is well, and I believe they could make an announcement about a pregnancy very soon.” Chris would enjoy it, I’m sure of it.

The source added that “I don’t think anyone would be surprised if they got engaged over Christmas.” They pair perfectly well together. They are incredibly into each other and always smile and laugh. So I can see [a proposal] happening as well as the family getting ready for the following year.

JoJo has already admitted to having a dream wedding, insisting that Chris, who split from professional golfer Annabel Dimmock in 2022 and once dated Little Mix star Jesy Nelson, will be a significant part of the planning process.

She said, “We would have to decide what it looks like because a wedding is a two-person event.” However, I am aware that Chris needs to assist with making the playlist and that I want it to have a baby blue scheme.

Publisher Harper Collins has dropped David Walliams. The star has reportedly been fired by the organization as a result of allegations of inappropriate behavior toward young women.

The agent has published a number of books, including popular children’s titles, with the former Britain’s Got Talent star. He has since been accused of having “harassed” junior female employees at Harper Collins, though.

HarperCollins UK has decided not to publish any new books by David Walliams, according to a spokesman for the magazine.

The author is aware of this decision, according to a spokesperson who spoke to the Telegraph.

They continued to state to the publication that HarperCollins has procedures in place for reporting and investigating concerns. We do not make any comments on internal issues in order to protect people’s privacy.

The most recent allegations come after Walliams resigned from his spot as a judge of Britain’s Got Talent in November 2022. He had been a nearly ten-year member of the program.

However, he resigned after the transcript of his comments about contestants was made public.

Before abruptly leaving, he had sat on the BGT panel with Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden, and Simon Cowell. Bruno Tonioli, the comic’s former Strictly Come Dancing partner, replaced him the year before.

Walliams apologised when he left. He continued, “These were private conversations, and they were never intended to be shared like the majority of conversations with friends.” I apologize, though.

One BGT hopeful was called “a c**t,” according to his comments. And during breaks during the 2020 series’ filming, he said of another, “she thinks you want f**k her, but you don’t.”

The language used by Walliams was “inappropriate,” according to a BGT production company representative at the time. They continued, “those involved have been spoken to and reminded of their responsibilities and the show’s expectations for future professional conduct.”

In a High Court writ, Walliams then brought a lawsuit against Fremantle BGT producers. He claimed that Fremantle “recorded, recorded, and retaining” private conversations for the entire ten years that he had done so in violation of data protection laws.

He claimed that after leaving the talent contest, he found himself struggling with dark, suicidal thoughts. In legal documents related to the writ, he claimed.

We had a long and successful relationship with David, and we are shocked and depressed by this legal action, according to a Freemantle spokesperson who spoke to the Mirror in October 2023.

We, for our part, will continue to be on hand and willing to talk through this dispute amicably. We will examine the various allegations and are ready to vigorously defend ourselves in the interim, though.

After video of her kissing her boss Andy Byron, 51, emerged online after a Coldplay concert, Kim Cabot, 53, discovered herself at the center of a national scandal.

Months after the 16-second clip that “ruined her life,” which was circulating online, the woman who was implicated in the Coldplay “kiss cam” scandal has spoken out.

The controversy began in July 2025, when a brief clip from a Coldplay show in Boston showed Cabot, then head of HR at tech company Astronomer, in the arms of her then-boss and CEO, Andy Byron, on a stadium “kiss cam”. As it happened, the band’s frontman Chris Martin quipped, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy”. As soon as the couple saw themselves on the Jumbotron, they both ducked away – but the footage exploded on social media.

What followed was a huge fallout at the company, with both the CEO and Cabot stepping down from their roles after it emerged they were married. Behind the scenes, two families were left reeling over the moment that took the internet by storm. While it appears Andy Bryron is still married to wife Megan Kerrigan, Cabot filed for divorce mere weeks after the fallout. Here, we take a look at Kristin Cabot’s troubled life now after the fall-out…

Career ruined

Cabot was open to admitting her role in what transpired in her first interview since the scandal. She claimed that the incident occurred as a result of drinking “a couple of High Noons,” an alcoholic beverage, and dancing with their boss, which she now describes as a “bad decision.”

“I had a few High Noons because I made a bad decision.” For doing that, I accepted responsibility and gave up my career. That’s the price I paid, she told The New York Times.

The consequences were immediate. On July 24, 2025, Cabot officially resigned from her position at Astronomer, prompting an internal investigation. In response to the controversy, Byron also resigned as CEO.

She admitted regrettably that the moment had destroyed her life, adding with contemptibly, “I’m just a mom from New Hampshire. I’m not some celebrity.” It’s not anyone’s business if I did have an affair.

People have erased everything I’ve accomplished in my life and in my career, and it’s been like a scarlet letter. The word “can’t be the last word.”

Backlash

What started out as a brief but awkward moment quickly turned into a global mess with implications for everyone. Cabot claimed that her family and her husband endured constant online harassment, including death threats and doxxing, with some weeks bringing paparazzi and hundreds of unwanted phone calls a day.

She explained that even her children became hesitant to be with her in public and were concerned for their safety as a result of the scrutiny. The wheels “fell off the cart” as Cabot claimed one voicemail, which was a threatening message her teenage children overheard, was a turning point.

Cabot spent a few days in an Airbnb in the New Hampshire mountains, accepting that she was “too dark a place” to raise a family. She said, “I became a meme, the most hated HR manager in human history,” and I became a meme. I believe I absorbed the majority of the abuse because I am a woman, as women always do. People would claim that I was a “gold-digger” or that I “slept my way to the top,” but that couldn’t be further from the truth.

Now, months later, having been told she is ‘unemployable’, she told the Times, the ordeal is not over. As well as her job, she has lost friends, and her kids are too embarrassed to have her take them to school or sports events. She said, “They’re mad at me. And they can be mad at me for the rest of their lives — I have to take that.”

Cabot has also discussed the gendered nature of the backlash, noting that she received more public acclaim and sexist insults than her male counterpart, despite both being in a similar situation.

She claimed that mothers still yell obscenities about her at the school gate, and that strangers also swear swear swear in the street.

Divorce

After the incident, Cabot claimed that he had been “nothing but a gentleman” in the wake of everything that had happened, and that she had filed for divorce from her husband shortly after.

She explained that she and Andy split from their partners, Megan, a school teacher, and her husband, Andrew, the CEO of a family-run distillery, Privateer Rum, about a month before the now-disgusted concert.

Cabot acknowledged that it was amazing to have someone else experience it at the same time as you can talk to.

She revealed that her feelings for her boss soon grew into “a big happy crush” and that she offered him one of her two free tickets to see Coldplay.

She also revealed that her 14-year-old daughter had texted her that her estranged second husband, Andrew, would be there on a first date the night before the incident, only to discover from a friend that he was there.

Kristin decided amid the immediate fallout that she wanted her children to know before anyone else, but said her daughter “burst into tears, saying, ‘I guess that means you really are getting divorced then'”. While her son tried to convince her that the whole debacle would “probably go away”.

The mother claims that their communication has since slowed as a result of their recent communication, describing how the two have grown closer together since.

Cabot expressed her hope that her experience can be used as a teaching moment, especially for her children, despite the professional setback and widespread acclaim.

The mother said she wants them to understand that people shouldn’t be subject to death threats or threats to their families’ safety because they can make mistakes and actually screw things up.

She jokingly acknowledged in the powerful interview that she wishes for the future by saying, “We have to be kind to one another and not torment one another.”

Olivia Attwood has just shared her most popular volumizing mascara, which is available for purchase. If you’ve ever wondered how to get those fluttery lashes, you can find out.

One of the beauty products Olivia Attwood has recently shared is the mascara she swears by for bold, long-lasting lashes.

The TV star recently raved about YSL’s Lash Clash Mascara to her Instagram followers, praising its smudge-proof formula as well as the dramatic “false lash effect” it delivers with just a few coats.

YSL Lash Clash, which is currently available for £22.50 down from £30, is designed to add the most volume while maintaining the softness and flutteriness of lashes. The formula is designed to last the entire day without flaking or smudging, and its oversized brush evenly coats each lash, giving it that false lash look without clumping. This makes it ideal for a night out with friends.

It’s the kind of mascara that instantly lifts lashes and makes people wonder where you get your lashes done, whether you’re wearing it all on yourself or going full-flare.

It’s no wonder Lash Clash has become a cult favorite thanks to Olivia’s approval and reputation as a favorite of MUAs. This mascara more than lives up to the hype if you want dramatic definition.

Customers can save £26 on a luxury gift set from Lancôme that features one of the brand’s most recognizable items if they’re looking for more beauty bargains.

The £52.50 Lancôme Hypnôse Mascara Eye Routine Makeup Set is currently available for sale on LookFantastic for £26.40 (down from £33). This is the ideal gift for yourself or as a last-minute Christmas present.

A full-size Hypnôse Mascara, adored by so many for its buildable volume and fluttery definition without clumping up, is included in the set. One of the mascaras used to create the French-girl makeup looks for Lily Collins’ Emily in Paris is a red carpet favorite.

Who has the official Christmas Number One is revealed at that time of year. Kylie and WHAM are in contention this year, but Daniel Bird’s writings are my favorites.

Every artist deserves a gong, but some artists should not have received it. The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl are the favorites to win the top spot this year, closely followed by the legendary Last Christmas by WHAM and Fairytale of New York by The Pogues and Kirsty MacColl.

As a music enthusiast, I aspires year after year to find out who has won the most popular role, and I’m relieved that musicians are finally being taken seriously. We’ve seen LadBaby consistently outperforming their parody covers, including We Built This City on Sausage Rolls, with “dad jokes” serving as their driving force.

That, in my opinion, is not what ought to be at the top of the charts. I can get behind their desire to raise money for charities and assist others, even though I don’t appreciate the “music.” I’m glad that LadyBaby themselves declared that the Christmas Number one baton was “hand over” in 2023. Other than Last Christmas, Fairytale of New York, and Band Aid, I’m not fussed about the classics. Don’t get me wrong, Mariah’s song is too overused and, to be honest, needs to be re-introduced.

I’ll now turn to the top five songs from the past 25 years, in my opinion. If I didn’t place Girls Aloud’s Sound of the Underground (2002) at the top of the charts, it wouldn’t be appropriate. They rose to fame on The Rivals, despite losing to One True Voice, to take the top spot.

The history of girlband music was forever changed by Sound of the Underground, in my opinion. It was a standout among the crowd because of the electric guitar’s immediate kick and “disco dancing with the lights down low” it had as a standout.

There was something about Sound of the Underground that made them compete with Blue, which featured Gareth Gates, S Club Juniors, and Pink. The song incorporated everything about the historic change, from Cheryl’s Geordie rasp to Sarah’s northern edge as she opened it.

The track, which was released on December 16 and topped the charts for four weeks, sold just over 213,000 copies in the same year. It’s undoubtedly one of my most popular songs all year long and always will be.

Last Christmas by Wham is held annually. finds its way back into the charts, and on a good time. One of the most memorable choruses I’ve ever heard of appears on the record, which was first released in December 1984. However, despite being played year after year, it only rose to the top in 2023 after LadBaby’s five-year reign as Number One, and it hasn’t changed since.

Last Christmas, in my opinion, sums up the entire holiday season. We see friends having fun together in the video. That is the essence of Christmas. This song has been poorly belted out numerous times for my chosen karaoke track with friends. It is marking the release of the bittersweet track on the 41st anniversary this year.

In under an hour, George Michael, a legendary singer, finished the song. He once said, “I thought it would be great to kick off the year with a Christmas song.” However, Band Aid’s Do They Know It’s Christmas, which also stars George, claimed the top spot in the year it was released, so he technically had the number one.

He made a donation to the Band Aid Trust from Last Christmas that year. It’s no surprise that it has more than five million chart sales combined, making it the third-largest single in the UK. My third favorite is now When We Collide by Matt Cardle. It was Cardle’s perfect performance on The X Factor, which he won in 2010 for.

The X Factor winner consistently topped the charts (aside from Joe McElderry, thanks to Rage Against The Machine), but Cardle always did so. Okay, so it’s a cover of Many of Horror by Biffy Clyro, but what else? Matt introduced the song to a new generation in a highly underappreciated manner.

Matt himself was pleased that there was a social media campaign at the time the song was released to reach Number One. Although it wasn’t the typical song for a talent show winner, it has stood the test of time and is still one of my all-time favorites.

My list could have been very different, given the number of X Factor winners. The Military Wives and Gareth Malone defeated Little Mix’s Cannonball cover in 2011. If the four-piece girl group had topped the charts, they would have easily occupied fourth place.

That’s My Goal by Shayne Ward, in keeping with my X Factor theme. What can I say? It is truly a masterpiece. In 2005, I vividly recall purchasing this song from Woolworths as a child. The show’s first winner, Manchester-based Shayne, made an original song his winning single.

It sold 313, 000 copies in its first two days, making it the year’s top-selling single, with an additional 429, 180 copies in the same four days, bringing it to No. 1. I can’t say I’m surprised that the song has since reached double platinum. It’s a timeless classic.

Finally, Band Aid 20, my fifth-favorite Christmas song ever, was released in 2004. featuring the likes of Ms. Dynamite, Busted, Sugababes, Will Young, Robbie Williams, Daniel Bedingfield, Dido, Sir Paul McCartney, Chris Martin, Bono, and Jonny Greenwood. The song’s biggest-selling single of the year was made possible by raising money for Sudan’s Darfur region.

The song’s only band members from the original Band Aid were Bono and Macca. Toby Blair, the then-prime minister, was seen picking up his physical copy at an HMV store in Edinburgh, Scotland. In the first 24 hours, the single sold 72, 000 copies before surpassing one million UK physical copies.

Band Aid 20 is undoubtedly the best, despite the constant rotation of the go-to classic. I’ll wait to see who will win this year’s crown, though. However, Kylie Minogue is my target.

The bold approach Kathy Ryan has taken to sentimental holiday ads is as out-there as you might expect from the straight-talking Canadian comic.

Christmas ads from the likes of John Lewis and Sainsbury’s normally make viewers laugh out loud, or grab a tissue or two. But it’s not the case for funnywoman Katherine Ryan, 42, who in October welcomed daughter Holland Juliette into the world.

The star of The Duchess series reveals in the Christmas special of comedy game show Out of Order that she feels quite superior to people who come over all emotional at schmaltzy adverts this time of year.

As guest Josh Widdcombe asks the mum-of-four: “You’re not crying at an advert, are you?” she responds hilariously: “No, I’m not like the rest of the scum – who watch those adverts and cry. Every Christmas, it reminds me that I’m better than everyone else”, to laughs all round from her taken aback co-stars.

The actress, who has been married to her childhood sweetheart Bobby Koostra since 2019, said: “Moms are very busy at Christmas, organising absolutely everything.

“Now that I have a husband, I saw the Snowman,” in which Frosty went outside before passing away. And I thought, “Yes,” That, in my opinion, serves more as a kink than a hopeful for the future.

And Katherine clearly goes all out with her own brood when it comes to decorating her home for Christmas, as she once remarked, “Our tree was so big last year we had to get David Attenborough’s permission to throw it out… “

Last month, Katherine shared what Christmas with her new baby will look like as she appeared at the premiere for her new Sky film Tinsel Town – a Christmas comedy-drama about a struggling actress finding love in Yorkshire, alongside Rebel Wilson and Kiefer Sutherland,.

The star, who recently confessed to some ‘serious’ cosmetic surgery after baby number four, revealed she’s actually the opposite of Scrooge in real-life. “The oldest is 16, and the youngest will be six weeks tomorrow. So, we really have to spread ourselves thin if we want to please everyone.

“I really just exhaust everyone all Christmas,” according to tradition. In a hotel in London, we have a fancy Christmas lunch. The Royal Albert Hall hosts the carols. I travel to Grottos and Christmas trains.

Hosted by Rosie Jones, Out Of Order sees two teams of comedians compete in front of a studio audience to place members of the public in the correct order in a series of revealing categories such as, ‘Who earns the most?’ and ‘Who’s had the most one night stands?’.

This year’s Christmas Special promises the usual festive chaos, as two teams led by Katherine and Loose Woman Judi Love judge members of the public, and each other, with guests including Josh Widdicombe and Jon Richardson.

On Comedy Central, the Out of Order Christmas Special airs at 9 p.m. on Monday December 22.
