It was reported earlier this week that makeup artist Lou Teasdale and professional footballer Andy Carroll, who had been together since last year, had parted ways

Lou Teasdale dumped Andy Carroll before he made a “desperate” attempt to get her back, it has been claimed. The speculation comes following reports earlier this week that Andy had been the one to end their relationship.

Makeup artist Lou, 41, and professional footballer Andy, 36, began a relationship last year following his split from reality TV star Billi Mucklow, with whom he shares three children. However, it was reported yesterday that the couple have parted ways, with it claimed that Andy broke up with Lou.

Andy, who was said to have been working on the relationship following ‘a series of alcohol-fuelled arguments,’ reportedly grew tired of her “influencer lifestyle”. It’s however since been claimed that Lou dumped him, with it suggested that ending the romance was the “only way to move forward”.

Previously, a source told the Sun: “Andy got sick of Lou’s demands and her influencer lifestyle. She’s always posting on social media and he hates that.” Then describing him as “single,” they added: “He told her it was over this week.”

However, sources are said to have since told the Daily Mail that it was Lou who dumped Andy. It’s claimed that he was so “desperate” to reconcile that he chartered a plane to in Ibiza, where she’s on holiday with family, yesterday.

A source told the outlet: “It was Lou who ended her relationship with Andy, she walked away a few days ago, it was very much her choice to end their romance.” They said she isn’t interested in “pointing the finger” or “blaming” Andy, and had hoped to deal with their break-up privately.

The source said he’s blocked her on Instagram and deleted their photos together. They added that Lou is “very upset” over how the situation has “played out” and the “arguments” between them had been “especially difficult” for her.

“However, Andy wants Lou back and flew to Ibiza via private jet on Tuesday just to find her, even though he has no idea where she’s staying,” the source claimed. They said that Lou is “unimpressed” and just wants to be with her family, adding that she’s “not interested” in attempts at reconcilation.

The source concluded by saying that Lou still has feelings for him though. They told the Daily Mail: “All she has done all year is love and support Andy, her feelings haven’t gone away, but Lou has to protect herself now and ending the relationship is the only way to move forward.”

Although there no longer appear to be photos of Lou on Andy’s page on Instagram, he still appears in posts on her account following the news this week that they have split up. It includes in photos from a previous trip to Ibiza.

Lou, who confirmed this week that she’s back on the island, enjoyed a holiday to the destination with Andy earlier this year. She wrote in one post: “My favourite place with my favourite person.” Andy had replied: “You are a miracle.”

Her birthday tribute to Andy in January is also still visible on her page. Alongside photos of them together and a heart emoji in the caption, she wrote in the post at the time: “Happy birthday to my favourite person I ever met.”

Robbie Williams is currently on the European leg of his Britpop tour, and fans were left gobsmacked when he bravely faced an unlikely ‘stage invader’ at a recent show

Robbie Williams is in the middle of a mammoth 37-show tour in support of his latest album, Britpop, which has seen him play a number of shows in the UK and across Europe. But during one recent gig in Germany, the former Take That star left fans gobsmacked as he was seen bravely fending off an unlikely “stage invader” who tried to interrupt the show.

A video of the incident was shared on TikTok by The Lottery Winners, a pop band who have been supporting Robbie on his tour throughout the UK and Europe. The clip begins with Robbie inviting his “new best mate” and Lottery Winners lead singer Thom Rylance on stage, before the fellow musician alerts him to the unwelcome guest on stage with them.

But the stage invader isn’t an overzealous fan, but is instead something that could be even scarier – a wasp.

Thom tells Robbie in the clip: “There’s a wasp right on you.”

As the Angels singer moves out of the way, the wasp flies between the two, and Thom can be heard screaming while Robbie tells the insect to “f**k off”. He then also jokingly tells the crowd to “finish the gig yourselves” as he attempts to run off stage away from the angry wasp.

WARNING: The below TikTok video contains strong language.

The crowd descends into laughter as Thom lifts his guitar as a weapon to fight off the wasp, before declaring to Robbie that he’s “so scared”. Robbie then stated: “I’m not. I’m butch.”

Robbie asks Thom if he would be willing to play guitar for some of his songs, but is cut off mid-sentence as the wasp comes back for more and he’s forced to pull off the scarf he’s wearing and throw it into the crowd to try and deter the insect.

The video then cuts to Robbie and Thom performing Take That’s hit Relight My Fire together, before Thom once again has to run away as the wasp returns to taunt him some more.

Commenters on the video were left in stitches by the duo’s antics, as people joked they needed “security” to escort the wasp off stage so the musicians could get back to the show.

One person said: “Where’s security when you need them?”

Another added: “When the best concert ever becomes a stand-up comedy show.”

While a third quipped: “The very brave, ‘There is a wasp right on you though’, followed by pure panic! I’m howling!”

Actress Michelle Keegan returns to ITV for the first time in eight years, starring as a detective in The Blame, a dark new psychological thriller

Michelle Keegan is stepping back into the spotlight and back onto ITV – for the first time in nearly a decade – as she prepares to star in the gripping new psychological thriller The Blame.

The series marks a major career moment for the 38-year-old actress, who recently welcomed her first child, daughter Palma Elizabeth Wright, with husband Mark Wright in March. The six-part drama will see Michelle in a commanding lead role as DI Emma Crane, a detective investigating a mysterious and tragic death that unravels into something far more sinister.

According to ITV, the case “spirals into a tangled web of lies, institutional cover-ups, and moral compromise.” It comes after Michelle’s husband Mark, 39, shared a big ‘disappointment’ after their family holiday with baby daughter Palma.

Michelle’s return to ITV is particularly notable as she first rose to national fame on the network’s long-running soap Coronation Street, where she played fan-favourite Tina McIntyre from 2008 until 2014.

Her last project for ITV came in 2017, when she portrayed Tina Moore, the wife of football legend Bobby Moore, in the critically acclaimed three-part drama Tina and Bobby.

Now, eight years since she last worked with the broadcaster, Michelle is not only coming back with an epic lead role, but she’s doing so opposite none other than Douglas Booth.

The 33-year-old actor is widely known for his roles in Mary Shelley, The Limehouse Golem, and Netflix’s fantasy juggernaut The Sandman.

Booth plays DI Tom Radley, working alongside Michelle’s character as the two detectives are drawn deeper into a high-stakes investigation that tests both their moral boundaries and professional loyalties.

While fans are thrilled by the casting, husband Mark Wright may have mixed feelings about Michelle teaming up with Booth, often dubbed a Hollywood heartthrob.

Since stepping away from ITV, Michelle has built an impressive portfolio across different networks and genres.

She starred in the hit comedy-drama Brassic on Sky, took on a dramatic lead in Ten Pound Poms for BBC One, and reached a global audience with her most successful project to date, Netflix’s Fool Me Once.

The Harlan Coben thriller smashed records with an astounding 107 million views in its first six months on the platform, firmly cementing Michelle’s status as a leading lady in British television.

The Blame is based on the debut novel of the same name by Charlotte Langley and promises to deliver suspense, drama, and emotional depth.

Alongside Michelle and Booth, the cast features heavyweight talent including Harry Potter’s Ian Hart and Line of Duty star Nigel Boyle, known for his chilling role as DCS Buckells.

Fans have been desperately searching for the secret to Princess Andre’s long, glossy hair, and there’s one ultra-affordable curl cream that keeps her hair in good condition

After announcing her new reality show, The Princess Diaries on ITV, fans of Princess Andre have already been desperately looking to the teen for advice on how she keeps her hair so long and healthy. Princess, whose parents are Katie Price and Peter Andre, is known for her ultra-long curls, and with curly hair notoriously difficult to keep looking healthy and shiny, it’s no wonder everyone’s turning to her for advice.

The secret, it turns out, couldn’t be easier or more affordable to copy, as in one TikTok video Princess revealed that she uses the Mais Cachos curl cream from Skala Expert to help define and smooth her curls.

The cream is perfect for all types of curly, coily and kinked hair, and comes in a massive 1kg tub, which means you’ll be getting plenty of product for your money. However thanks to Amazon’s current sale, you’ll be getting even more bang for your buck, because it just got slashed from £14.29 to £25, marking a huge 42% discount.

It is touted as a conditioner, with the instructions saying to apply it to damp hair and leave it for a few minutes before washing out. However, Princess used her own technique which involved leaving the Mais Cachos curl cream in, giving her hair extra hydration and hold.

If you’re worried about greasiness or it weighing your locks down, you could always swap it for Only Curls’ Hydrating Curl Creme which is a leave-in conditioning styling cream specially designed for curly hair. It’s £10 for a 100ml bottle or £18 for 250ml, or you can pick up a huge 500ml refill bottle for £30.

Alternatively, Moroccanoil’s Curl Defining Cream is £11 is infused with argan oil to nourish and hydrate your hair, leaving it frizz-free and shiny. It also increases your hair’s curl memory when activated by heat, which helps your style last longer and have a more natural look.

If you want to copy Princess’ routine to a tee, however, try adding the Mais Cachos curl cream to your curly hair routine. We also broke down exactly how she creates and maintains her curl pattern.

Princess Andre’s curly hair method

In the TikTok, Princess explains that she likes to use a “good amount of product” on her hair, with the cream helping to hydrate her curls which stops them looking dry or frizzy. Scooping the Mais Cachos curl cream onto a section of hair, she smooths it over before combing through with her fingers, then immediately follows it up by brushing through the section.

She also explains that brushing your hair away from your face can help define the curls more. Throughout the process, Princess also keeps spraying her hair with water to keep it wet, which helps ensure her hair dries into an intentional curl pattern.

Each time she finishes combing the Mais Cachos curl cream through a section, she then wraps the section around her fingers, which is another top tip for making sure curls fall into their natural pattern. After unravelling the curl, Princess scrunches it upwards, adding that “it should make a squishy noise”, which indicates the coil is properly hydrated.

To finish, she scrunches all of her finished curls with a towel to remove excess moisture, then applies a mousse or gel to make sure each curl holds its shape as it dries. Finally, she uses a hair dryer with a diffuser attachment, clarifying that she doesn’t completely dry her hair with the hair dryer, but just does it a little then leaves it to air dry completely.

Sam Thompson has spoken out after seeing his ex Zara McDermott ‘hard launch’ her relationship with Louis Tomlinson as he admitted he ‘wouldn’t wish it on anyone’

Sam Thompson has broken his silence after his ex, Zara McDermott, went public with her relationship with Louis Tomlinson, posting a snap of the pair snogging on Instagram.

The Love Island star has been dating the One Direction singer for several months following her break-up with Sam in January, which the Made In Chelsea alum admitted left him ‘blindsided’.

Zara, 28, and Louis, 33, have so far kept relatively coy about their relationship, but now Zara has made it ‘Insta official’ and 33 year old Sam’s not happy. It comes after the I’m A Celebrity winner admitted he needed help after their split.

Talking to his pal, Pete Wicks, on their podcast, Staying Relevant, Sam said his phone ‘blew up’ after Zara posted the snap of her locking lips with Louis last week.

He said: “I’m watching some YouTube video and my phone just starts blowing up. I thought I’d been cancelled!”

Sam continued: “Mate it’s dinged up, you know when everyone is like, ‘Just checking in mate, is everything ok?’ and I’m looking at my phone like ‘What is going on?’

“And genuinely you know what it’s like when you don’t quite know what’s happened so you think the worst. Tell you what though, I wouldn’t wish a hard launch on my worst enemy though.”

It comes after Pete admitted he never liked one of Sam’s exes, but wouldn’t say which one.

During one episode of their podcast, Pete agreed to take a lie detector test and was asked by Sam: “Have you any disliked any of my previous partners?”

Hesitating for a second, he then laughed and said “yes.” After he was revealed to be telling the truth Sam squealed: “Yes, truthful!”

Earlier in the week, the reality star asked fans for help as he admitted he was struggling post Zara. Talking to the listeners on Hits Radio, he revealed he was using dating app, Hinge.

Sam confessed: “I’m on Hinge everybody. I have decided to give dating apps a go, because the dating world is the trenches out there and I need a bit of help.”

While Sam had no issues choosing the perfect pictures and videos of himself to show off his best qualities, he admitted that answering the prompts had left him frustrated.

The reality TV star joked: “One of them is ‘I’d fall for you if…’ And I just don’t know what I think, to be honest with you I’d fall for you if you say you like me. If you turn round and say I like you, I’m done that’s all it takes with me. And ‘my cry in the car song?’ Anything by One Direction really….”
