Singer Cat Burns has joyously marked the beginning of her “new life” following a successful breast reduction operation, sharing the deeply personal news with her fans.

The 25-year-old songstress, who recently captivated audiences on the inaugural celebrity edition of BBC One’s hit show The Traitors, revealed that she opted for the procedure after enduring years of physical discomfort and emotional distress.

Taking to Instagram to document the milestone, Burns shared her journey with her followers, expressing a sense of overwhelming relief.

She admitted that she had grappled with body image issues since her early teens, making the decision to undergo surgery both a medical and a transformative personal choice.

Burns candidly shared her vulnerability with her audience, writing: “Was going back and forth on whether I was gonna share this but I know I’ve built an understanding community of people!

“I’ve just come out of my breast reduction surgery!” The singer described the emotional aftermath of the procedure, noting: “Had a big fat cry once I saw mum, sisty and Sarah—joyful tears by the way. The amount of relief and happiness I feel is overwhelming.”

Reflecting on the history of her struggles, Burns explained that her journey with her body had been difficult since puberty. “I’ve always struggled with my boobies since they arrived on my chest at like 12,” she noted.

“They caused me so much pain when exercising and I deeply hated the oversexualisation it brought.”

Despite trying various methods to manage the physical burden, including specialized bras and lifestyle adjustments, Burns decided that surgery was the right path forward. “I tried so many different ways to work with my body… but I thought while I’m young and healthy and by the universe’s grace am able to go through with this surgery, I want to love my body going into the next part of my life! Today marks the start of my new life!”

The singer confirmed the operation was a success, mentioning that she used affirmations to stay grounded. This health update comes during a whirlwind period for Burns.

On The Traitors, she narrowly missed out on the prize, being ousted in the final round after serving as a “Traitor” alongside legends Jonathan Ross and comedian Alan Carr.

Hitmaker Rita Ora has said she doesn’t want to be boxed in as simply as a ‘musician’ – as she debuts a stunning new gymwear collection in her latest clothing collab

Rita Ora has continued to branch out beyond pop music as an entrepreneur in her own right – launching a new Womenswear collection alongside fellow brand ambassador Krept.

In a host of snaps which showcase her incredible physique, the Let You Love Me hitmaker, who is married to film director Taika Waititi, can be seen working up a sweat in skimpy gym wear as she launched her latest collection with Primark.

It comes as the style-conscious star – never one to shy away from the limelight – was seen flashing her black lace bra as she stepped out in blue denim jeans and a brown suede coat, during a night out at Chateau Marmont in LA on Tuesday.

Following several collections with the high street brand since her 2023 debut, the 34-year-old is now branching into fitness gear alongside rapper and buisnessman Krept.

The new drop, Every Move Counts, is inspired by Rita’s love of Pilates – and especially designed for wear both in the gym and out and about.

The star, who is originally from Kosovo, commented: “This collection with Primark was inspired by my love of Pilates and that balance between strength, confidence, and ease. I wanted pieces that support you when you’re really pushing yourself, but still feel soft, flattering, and stylish enough to wear beyond the studio.

“From sculpting fabrics to buttery-soft layers, everything is designed to move with you – whether you’re training, stretching, or just getting things done.

“It’s about redefining performance on your own terms, feeling confident in your body, and looking good while doing it. I’m so proud of how this collection brings style and function together in a way that feels effortless and real!”

In a host of snaps for the new collection – where prices range from £2.50 to £26 – Rita can be seen working out on a Pilates reformer machine. In another look, she can be seen in the Rita Ora Gathered Tech Jacket (£22.00) and a pair of matching gym shorts.

Krept, meanwhile, said of his Menswear collection, also available in store or via Primark’s Click + Collect service, “I believe everyone should have access to great sportswear, not just athletes or influencers. That’s why working with Primark felt right, it’s about performance and confidence without barriers.”

Speaking recently at a Women In Cinema event in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, Rita revealed that she was still ‘constantly learning’ and ‘breaking boundaries’.

Adding that she didn’t want to be labelled solely as a musician, she added, “’They tend to limit themselves as just one category and you don’t really need to do that.

“I see myself an amateur everyday as I’m constantly learning. You should never walk into the room thinking you don’t have power as you do.”

Rita went on to say that a woman she will always look up to ‘first and foremost’ is her mother Vera, but added: “There are so many women for different reasons like Madonna in music, Blondie and even Cher.

“They are people who have done more than one thing and that’s exactly what I love to do. So it’s awesome to see these boundaries being broken.”

A royal expert has claimed that the disgraced former prince is using his daughters as his inside link to the Royal Family, urging them to attend Christmas in Sandringham to keep a foot in with the royals

Royal experts have claimed that Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is using his daughters, Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie, to keep a foot in with the Royal Family, despite his dramatic exile.

The disgraced former prince was stripped of his titles and evicted from his Royal Lodge home in October over continued revelations emerging about his connection to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. While Andrew has effectively been exiled from the Firm, his daughters maintain a good relationship with King Charles and other senior royals. Both Beatrice and Eugenie shocked many royal watchers as they joined the royals for Christmas in Sandringham, while Andrew and Fergie spent the festive season alone.

Royal experts Ingrid Seward and Charlie Rae spoke candidly about Beatrice and Eugenie’s inclusion in the royal Christmas celebrations, telling The Sun’s Matt Wilkinson they were surprised to see them in such good spirits, given the nature of their parent’s scandals.

Wilkinson said: “I was fascinated by Beatrice and Eugenie going to Sandringham because we were led to believe that both of them were going to stay away from Royal Lodge, they were going to stay away from Sandringham to avoid being seen like they’re taking sides. However, they changed their minds and they went to Sandringham. They were standing on the steps outside of the church, smiling, happy with the King.”

Mr Rae argued it was the “right decision to be with the King”, and Ms Seward agreed, adding: “But I don’t think Beatrice and Eugenie had a choice. Andrew said to them, you have to go, because he wants to keep a foot in. A, he wants to know what’s going on. B, he’d want to know what people were saying about him.”

“And he’s always said that, and Fergie has said, ‘the girls are my passport’. They are Andrew’s only passport into the royal family now. And I’m absolutely sure that he persuaded them.”

Fellow royal expert Mr Rae agreed wholeheartedly and added: “Andrew wants to keep an eye on what’s going on. He’s not invited, so he’s not at the table any more. So one of the first things that would have happened when they got back would be Andrew would be on the phone saying, ‘right, who said what?’”

While Beatrice and Eugenie were all smiles alongside the Royal Family on Christmas Day, a solo Andrew was pictured driving out of his Royal Lodge home – which he will soon be kicked out of – looking sad and sombre.

Andrew has faced even more heat in recent weeks as photos of him appeared in the newly released Epstein files. Being named or pictured in these files does not equate to wrongdoing and Andrew has consistently denied all allegations against him.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond told the Mirror that while Andrew awaits his move to the Sandringham estate, he is likely lying low amidst the continuing onslaught of allegations tying him to Epstein.

Jennie explained: “There are still many more Epstein documents and emails to be released, but I suspect that the most damaging revelations about Andrew’s friendship with him are already in the public arena. But the threat of more scandal around the corner will remain for some time – not only about Epstein, but about Andrew’s financial dealings and arrangements. It is not a story that investigative journalists are ready to let rest.”

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that the winter weather is playing havoc with our skin. No matter how much moisturiser we put on, the cold January air (not to mention the excessive use of central heating) has left our skin feeling dry, dull and more than a little lacklustre.

And to make it even more appealing, it’s now on sale with a huge 50% saving, bringing it down from £111 to £55.50.

BBC presenter Gabby Logan opened up about the realities of grief ahead of fresh heartache following the death of her father, former footballer Terry Yorath

On Wednesday evening, Gabby Logan made a swift exit from Match of the Day midway through the programme, with Mark Chapman stepping in to present the rest of the show. Addressing the sudden switch, he told viewers: “Sadly Gabby has got a family emergency that she’s had to rush off and deal with.

“She’s gone to do that and I’ve come from the radio to finish the show.”

It has now been confirmed that Gabby’s father, Terry Yorath, has died aged 75 after a brief illness.

Terry, known as a Welsh professional footballer and manager, played for numerous clubs, including Leeds United and the Wales national team.

Gabby, 53, has not yet issued a personal statement regarding her father’s death, but a message attributed to Terry’s children reads: “To most he was a revered footballing hero, but to us he was dad; a quiet, kind and gentle man. Our hearts are broken but we take comfort knowing that he will be reunited with our brother, Daniel.”

The mum-of-two has previously opened up about the sudden loss of her younger brother Daniel, and how the tragedy profoundly impacted her family.

Daniel was only 15 when he died in 1992 while playing football with their father.

Reflecting on that heartbreaking time, she said on BBC Wales Live: “He was playing football in the garden with my dad and he fell over.

“My dad thought he just was messing about and went over and rolled him over, and he basically died on the spot – and had no previous indications whatsoever that there were any health problems at all with him.

“It’s like a sledgehammer coming down and sending everybody off in different directions, because it’s such a catastrophic thing to happen, and no warning – and everybody responds differently.”

A post-mortem examination later confirmed that Daniel died from undiagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), a congenital heart condition.

Speaking about how the heartbreak affected her dad, Gabby told BBC Radio 4’s Desert Island Discs: “My dad was very much a person who felt the glass was half empty already and for him, this was confirmation that life was no good and he kind of pulled himself away from a lot of our family life.”

As the eldest child, aged 19 at the time, Gabby said she “assumed quite a lot of responsibility” following her brother’s death, adding: “I went and picked up his death certificate, for example.”

At the time, she was also studying at university but struggled to cope with the weight of grief.

Speaking on the Performance People podcast, she said: “I was running around running from my grief probably and then by the end of my first year at university, so just around the time of his first anniversary I had some first year exams and it all kind of came crashing down.

“I’d stopped sleeping properly. I felt very wobbly, I just kind of lost my balance and I went to see a doctor and he gave me some sleeping tablets and I thought ‘That’s not what I need’.”

Gabby has since sought therapy to help process her grief and has admitted that it can still “blindside” her all these years later.

Josh Tapper appeared on Gogglebox alongside his family from 2013 to 2017 – but where is the former TV star now?

View 4 Images

Gogglebox’s Josh Tapper was a firm favourite on the Channel 4 show – but what is he up to now?

Josh made his debut on the programme when he was just 15, during its first-ever series back in 2013, alongside the rest of his family: dad Jonathan, mum Nikki, and sister Amy.

And it’s fair to say it didn’t take long for the Tapper family to become firm favourites with fans, thanks to their hilarious quips, never failing to make the viewers laugh.

Sadly, though, the family called it quits from the show when son Josh left Gogglebox in 2017 to work in government after landing a Civil Service apprenticeship. Amy followed suit and quit to appear on Celebs Go Dating in 2018.

At the time, a source told The Mirror: “Channel 4 will, of course, keep the door open for him [Josh], but it’s a really exciting opportunity for him. It’s a much-coveted job. Josh has already started having meetings within No.10.”

Meanwhile, talking about his time on the show, Josh revealed in 2022 that it “suddenly blew up out of nowhere” for him and his family. He told Jewish News: “I spent the next five years living that life while also trying to live a normal life.

“But I was the guy who was on TV. My days were long as we were filming the scenes in addition to school.”

In 2022, Josh made a move into politics, announcing his intention to run for a Labour MP. He was selected as the candidate for Hertsmere and shared his excitement on X, formerly Twitter: “I’m thrilled and honoured to have been selected as Labour’s parliamentary candidate for Hertsmere.

“Thank you so much to local members for your support – I won’t let you down. The work to unseat the Deputy Prime Minister starts now!”

In 2024, Josh was chosen as the Labour candidate in a bid to unseat Oliver Dowden from Parliament and said he was feeling “thrilled and honoured” to be selected. Despite Oliver Dowden holding the seat since 2019, Josh was defeated by 7,992 votes.

Meanwhile, more recently, Josh married his long-term partner, Hannah, after being together for nine years. The announcement of Josh’s wedding in March 2025 was shared by his sister, Amy, who posted a collection of photos and videos from the joyous family celebration.

Expressing her excitement, Amy wrote: “The New Mr and Mrs Tapper! No words to describe this incredible day from start to finish…”

She continued: “I’d say welcome to the family @hannahtapper_ but you’ve been a part of it for 9 years now… this just means officially forever. I love you both more than words will ever describe @joshtapper.”
