Former Wham! Shirlie Kemp, a backer, and Martin Kemp, the father of EastEnders legend and I’m A Celeb star, have two children named Roman and Harleymoon. However, the couple had a relationship during a vacation and fell in love.

Shirlie Kemp has shared how a request from her son Roman saved her family from being caught up in a catastrophic natural disaster. The former Wham! backing singer, 63, and Spandau Ballet bassist Martin were planning a family holiday back in 2004.
The family’s “very spiritual journey,” according to Shirlie, a mother of two. Roman, a presenter for The One Show at the time, had his sights set on a trip to the Bahamas where he could slide through a sea of sharks.
On Travel Secrets the Podcast, Shirlie disclosed that Roman’s insistence led the family to choose a Caribbean getaway over Thailand in 2004. This was the year when the Boxing Day tsunami wreaked havoc around the Indian Ocean, claiming the lives of around 200,000 people across 14 countries, including Thailand, Sri Lanka and Indonesia.
We did not want to go there, according to Shirlie during the podcast because Roman wanted to go to the Bahamas, the Atlantis Hotel, and we did that. And he was obsessed, and he requested that we go, “Please let us go, we can go through a slide and go through sharks.”
I wanted to travel to Thailand and spend a lot of time there. When the tsunami struck Thailand, Roman was successful in doing so. Never have I been so appreciative of your children. He’s like, “Come on, mum, come again,” when I fell down the slide.
There were some risks in Martin and Shirlie’s holiday adventures. When Shirlie ended up rolling a Mini during a rally through a rice paddy during their three-week journey to Vietnam, Martin described a hair-raising incident where he was encased inside the overturned vehicle and was taken to the hospital.
He recalled that “you have to go through these rice paddies because we’re on this big rally within a rally and we’re on this big rally.” I’m navigating while Shirley is driving. You have to put your foot down because it’s a race, which is kind of a time trial. Shirlie puts her foot down as we get going.
Someone told me before we left that if you crash, never hold on to the roll bar because you can get trapped inside because we were in this old Mini. Shirlie places her toe down in the rice paddy, and the entire car turns around and we are upside down in the rice paddy.
What should I do since there is no water in the rice paddy? Grab the roll-bar. Therefore, my hand has been stowed between the rollbar and the roof. Shirlie has since unbuckled herself and fled. I’m trapped upside down in the middle of nowhere in a car that has just been filled with gas and glass.
When Martin saw that his hand had “gone blue,” he was concerned he might “lose my fingers” or something. On the other hand, Shirley recalls being “screaming” until two rice field workers noticed their predicament.
The former soap star was saved and transported to a hospital that resembled “like a little shack.”
Shirlie further explained that the car rolled because Martin’s knee “unintentionally” “knew the navigation system, which prevented her from being notified of an upcoming sharp bend.” She continued, “I’m going too quickly and there’s a huge tree in front of us, and if I don’t, we’re going to have to roll this car.” We will be killed by that tree.
Fortunately for Martin, sensation returned to his hand “a few weeks later”. The Gold singer is currently appearing in I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!on ITV One.

The star tried out a secret food hall that the majority of people are unaware was there, but the footage shows him doing so.
Money and Lifestyle Assistant Editor Neil Shaw
Fans can’t believe they’ve never heard of Michael Barrymore trying out a “secret London foodhall.” The TV legend, who was once one of Britain’s highest-paid entertainers, took a picture of himself at the hidden-outlet for a meal.
He shared the video with his 4.1 million TikTok followers, who have already received more than 350, 000 views. Before entering the small food court, Barrymore greets a staff member, passes a shawarma stand, a cookie stand, and heads back to find what he refers to as a “hidden gem.”
He discovers Somali food there, and he places an order for a mixed box. He also grabs a brownie and a banana milkshake while waiting in the quiet food hall.
The 73-year-old then heads to the cookie shop, where the owner surprises her with a whole box of treats before ordering two traditional chocolate chip cookies. He finally makes his way back to the nearly-full barracks, where only two customers were seated, after collecting his Somali dish and milkshake.
A few small independent eateries are housed at W3 Food Court, which is hidden away in Acton, west London. Many fans later admitted they had no idea it was possible.
The video’s creator, Michael from Bermondsey, called it “Secret London Foodhall.” Since then, the post has received over 33 000 likes and comments. One person said, “I didn’t know this existed, I’m in Acton.”
Another remarked, “This is amazing, more hidden gems please”; I work nights in Acton and am constantly looking for good food, a user wrote.
One person continued, “I want to try all these places you go to because they always look so good.” No duds”! “You’re a real foodie just like me, Michael,” one fan said.
Gogglebox star Amy Tapper is shocked to be bullied on social media because 73% of those who use weight-loss jabs face backlash, according to new research.
Amy Tapper, a weight-loss experiment star on Gogglebox, revealed that she had lost more than seven stone, and she didn’t anticipate being bullied on social media.
When she claimed she was using the weight-loss drug Mounjaro, she was accused of “cheating,” and was told for years to “get off the sofa and lose weight.”
And shocking new research demonstrates that Amy’s bullying is not just a case. People who use weight-loss jabs are accused of seeking or making claims that they are considering getting medical care in a backlash in 73% of cases.
92% of people claim that weight-shamers are telling them to “eat less and move more.”

The research for Chemist4U, an online pharmacy, demonstrates the alarming public acclaim that GLP-1 weight-loss jab users and those who are considering them.
Unsurprisingly, 68% of people claim to have received unsolicited weight-related comments from strangers on the street or elsewhere.
Many users are criticized rather than supported despite the fact that the majority of users pay for their weight-loss injections.
2.5 million people in the UK are using weight-loss jabs, according to life science analytics company Iqvia.
Nearly three-quarters of those seeking weight-loss treatment feel judged, with 96% of respondents in the North East, the worst area for weight-loss, being told to “eat less, move more.” 88% of people in the least judgmental region, the West Midlands, still believed this.
A major new anti-bullying campaign has been launched by Chemist4U, led by DJ Fat Tony, 58, and Amy Gogglebox, 25, and supported by the National Bullying Helpline, taking note of this research.
It aims to reclaim the saying “eat less, move more” and expose the harm brought on by weight loss when it is reduced to oversimplified one-liners.
A new house music track, Already Doing It, produced in collaboration with DJ Fat Tony and featuring Amy in the video, serves as the campaign’s focal point.
The track champions everyone on a weight loss journey, especially those who have been criticized for trying to take control of their health, using the phrase “eat less, move more” to convey a defiant message.
whose body and lifestyle have long drawn criticism from DJ Fat Tony. “I took the name and owned it because people used to call me Fat Tony behind my back.
I took the insult’s power out of it, and this song uses the phrase “eat less, move more” to illustrate it.
It’s ridiculous to say that you’re bullied if you’re overweight and you’re bullied if you’re doing something about it.
Chemist4U believes that reducing weight in a way that works best for the UK’s obesity crisis is a prerequisite for medically supported weight loss.
Chemist4U’s CEO and Superintendent Pharmacist James O’Loan says: “Clinically supported treatments can be life-changing – not just for weight itself, but also for confidence, health, and major life milestones, from improving mobility to becoming eligible for IVF.
The truth is that most people already try to improve their health, are trying to improve, and deserve support rather than criticism. Because no one should suffer from bullying when seeking medical care, Chemist4U strives to provide safe, regulated access with compassion and understanding.
Chemist4U will donate money to the National Bullying Helpline in order to support the organization’s vital work, which is providing victims of bullying with confidential advice, support, and resources.
No one should be bullied for trying to lose weight and improving their health, says Christine Pratt, founder of the National Bullying Helpline. We also receive calls from clients who have been subjected to bullying as a result of weight-loss injections. Our society simply doesn’t allow this behavior.
Amy’s story…
North-wide London resident Amy Tapper, who is a Gogglebox star, made an appearance on the TV series with her family at the age of 13 and went on to watch it from the age of 18 together. When she looked up her name online at the time, she discovered people talking about her.
She says, “It was either how loud or how big or how loud I and my parents were.” They would refer to us as couch potatoes or say, “Can someone tell the girl from Gogglebox to get up and go for a walk?” “
Amy, a Yo-Yo dieter, would shift third and then give up. She then discussed having bariatric surgery in June.
She claims that after everything she tried, she was “just so done after 20 years” and that she only wanted to have the operation and wake up and feel so much lighter.
Her doctor recommended weight loss medication after discovering that her genetics were making her overweight despite excellent blood tests. She says, “He said the statistics were incredible, and he thought it would be incredible for me.” My journey began with a lot of research and a collaboration with my doctor, an endocrinologist.
She lost 5 pounds on Mounjaro in a week, and she claimed it was “the moment I knew this was different” after six months of losing 4 pounds. Amy continues to work with the personal trainer she’s been using for four years, highlighting the importance of exercise. She burns calories faster, has more energy, and enjoys eating healthier.
She says, “It feels amazing to have lost so much weight, it feels like I’ve lived a whole new life, and almost eight stone to date.”
She’s now a size 18 and 15st 6lbs, just over 23 pounds shy of her milestone. She says, “This is my first time going to a store where I can buy clothes.” I don’t have to worry about squishing anyone; I’m going to the theater and getting out of the bath is simple.
“Recently, I went on vacation, and for the first time ever, I don’t feel like the fat one in pictures,” he said.
Anyone who thinks this is the easy way out is misled by Amy because she is working hard to lose weight. She asserts that the only thing that matters is that I know how to do things that work and what’s best for me. All these people who claim that eating less and moving more are my 20 years of practice, but that alone is ineffective.
Recalling Instagram debates between people over whether or not she was using weight loss injections – before she even started – she continues: “I sat there thinking ‘Does it really matter how I’ve done it? I’m looking good and feeling great, shouldn’t you be happy for me?’
She was on the injections, and I did mention it on social media, where people said they were “lazy way out” and that she should just eat less. “
She continues, “People have problems when you aren’t losing weight and problems when you do, but it shouldn’t matter,” in a statement released by the campaign that condemns such inane bullying.
“People are changing their lives, and there is no reason to judge people,” declares the campaign.
She continues, “This track is about standing up for what I’m doing for me and I won’t let anyone turn that into something haughty,” according to the Already Doing It anthem.

The item can be positioned at the foot of your bed, between cushions, or anywhere else that requires warmth.

If you’re struggling amidst this chilly November weather, it may be worth checking out Home Bargains’ website. The budget retailer is currently selling numerous snug winter essentials, including one for just £3.99.
This product is its 800ml Hot Water Bottle, sold as part of the Warm At Heart collection. Shoppers can fill this with water before tucking it at the end of a bed, amongst cushions or anywhere additional heat is required.
A description of the item reads: “Snuggle up this winter with the Warm At Heart 800ml Hot Water Bottle! Perfect for keeping toasty on chilly nights, just fill it with hot water, pop it in your favourite cover, and enjoy the warmth wherever you need it most!”
It also adds: “Our Warm At Heart water bottles are a fantastic way to save money on heating bills this winter. For when you need that little bit extra warmth or for the temperature is just that wrong side of warm, fill up your bottles bladder with hot water (caution! do not use boiling water), screw on the plug and insert into your cosy cover of choice. Place at the foot of the bed, between the cushions of your sofa or even with caution, around your cold extremities.”
The term ‘cold extremities’ generally describes limbs of the body that are furthest from the heart, such as fingers and toes. Applying a heated bottle or warm compress to these areas can help ease discomfort from sore muscles or rigid joints. This can prove particularly beneficial for those living with long-term conditions such as arthritis and fibromyalgia, or anyone experiencing back discomfort.
According to the Mirror, the Arthritis Foundation has previously explained: “Here is how it works. When you warm up a sore joint or tired muscle, your blood vessels get bigger. This allows more blood, oxygen, and nutrients to be delivered to the injured tissues. Better circulation means more relaxation for those stiff muscles and joints.
If you have a flare or an acute injury, stay away from heat. You’d be better off putting on cold medicine for a few days if you suddenly start to feel red and swelling after doing it yesterday.
In guidance regarding osteoarthritis, the most prevalent form of arthritis, the NHS similarly states: “Applying hot or cold packs to the joints can relieve the pain and symptoms of osteoarthritis in some people. A hot-water bottle filled with either hot or cold water and applied to the affected area can be very effective in reducing pain.”
The British Heart Foundation (BHF) advises against using hot water bottles when hands and feet become numb. This is primarily because the numbness could prevent you from realizing that if you overheat, which could cause burns and injuries.
The BHF’s advice reads: “If your hands and feet feel cold, you may be tempted to warm them with a hot water bottler or a portable heater. But if your hands and feet are numb, you might not notice if they get too hot. This could cause you to burn or injure your skin.
Wearing gloves and socks instead of socks keeps you cozy and warm. Make sure it’s not too hot and take a bath slowly if you’re trying to warm yourself up.
Aside from Home Bargains, there are plenty of other shops offering hot water bottles at reasonable prices. Currently, Primark is offering a ‘soft touch’ hot water bottle for just £5, among others, while Amazon has also listed a rechargeable, electric bottle for £20.99.
