Iconic singer Sir Rod Stewart has candidly expressed his distaste for one particular aspect of his highly anticipated performance at Glastonbury, while also revealing a specific request he’s made.

In a special Glastonbury edition of the BBC Sidetracked podcast with Annie Macmanus and Nick Grimshaw, the ‘Maggie May’ singer discussed his upcoming gig on the festival’s renowned Pyramid Stage.

Rod will be appearing on the Sunday “legends” slot at Worthy Farm, emulating music legends like Dolly Parton, Lionel Richie, and Kylie Minogue, having previously performed on the stage in 2002 with Coldplay and Stereophonics.

When asked what he thought of being labeled a “legend,” Rod responded that he was comfortable with the term and that he “don’t mind.” I believe I merit it, after all. I just wish the time wasn’t called the “teatime slot.”

Before the musician himself called the label “horrible,” Rod continued to explain why he wasn’t a fan of the traditional name for his performance time, which Annie acknowledged sounded “old.”

Rod explained how he was preparing for the show, saying, “We’re working on the set list, but not too hard. Although it’s not Glastonbury, I want to try and treat it like any other game, you know.

He further made it clear that he wanted to go on stage longer because he only had an hour and fifteen songs, and that he wanted an extra hour and a half. You’re aware that this will undoubtedly be my last time doing it.

Rod says he’ll drink a few glasses before his Glastonbury performance to stop the thirst. He said he wants it to be memorable, but he’ll just go in, have a few drinks, and enjoy himself like I’ve always done it all my life instead.

Meanwhile, Rod’s wife Penny Lancaster has spoken candidly about her concerns for her husband, admitting that recent losses in his family have led him to reflect on his own life and consider how long he’s got left. However, the famous singer continues to keep her on her toes.

Penny responded to a question on the “We’re Not Getting Any Younger” podcast about whether Rod still made her feel young, saying, “He does, he does.”

She also pondered, “You know when you’re 80, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’re like, you’ve got to be 80, and he’s wondering to himself, he’s lost his two brothers, maybe, How long have I got?” ‘”.

Orlando Bloom appeared care-free as he jetted off to Venice to enjoy the wedding of Amazon founder Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez. But it was only a few days ago that it was confirmed the 48-year old actor had split with Katy Perry following their nine year relationship.

As he relaxed and reclined on a speedboat that was cruising along the Venice Canal, the father of one was pictured wearing a black and white polka-dot pyjama set that matched his pyjama suit.

Orlando finished his look by wearing a black vest top and jewelry around his neck, with the top unbuttoned.

The actor known for his role in Pirates of the Caribbean was seen taking a leisurely stroll with Sydney Sweeney and Tom Brady earlier that day.

The day before Orlando attended the nuptials of Jeff and Lauren on his own as Katy fulfilled her tour commitments.

And according to US Weekly, a source close to the pair, who also has a daughter, claimed the couple broke up peacefully.

Although Katie and Orlando have split, the source told the publication. At the moment, it’s not contentious. Katy is obviously upset, but she is relieved that she didn’t have to go through another divorce because that was her worst experience.

The source continued that the singer’s nine-year relationship had been in the makings because they had been living essentially apart since he had been on tour.

The insider explained that their relationship has been “tense for months” and that they have been “living apart” since Katy has been touring.

The couple started dating again in 2016 while attending the Golden Globes, but they broke up afterward.

We can confirm that Orlando and Katy are taking respectful, loving space at this time, according to a joint statement that was released at the time.

However, Katy’s tweet was much more direct, writing, “HOW BOUT A NEW THINKING FOR 201? ” You can still be friends with and/or love your former partners! No one is a victim or a villain, so “get a life, y’all”!

By the time the couple was settled, Orlando had already proposed wearing a diamond engagement ring.

The pair posted a zoomed-in photo of themselves holding the ring in perfect focus to let fans know about the news.

On Friday, Tommy Fury and a woman who resembles Molly-Mae Hague have been pictured having an evening out in Cheshire. The woman in question is actually his brother Roman’s girlfriend, according to reports that the pair were spotted embracing handily.

In pictures obtained by MailOnline, Tommy could be seen sharing a hug with his brother’s other half as they chatted away at the Bubble Room in Alderley Edge. The publication stated that the boxer later headed to The Symposium night club before heading home at 2am.

Tommy and Molly-Mae announced their heartbreaking split in August 2024, as she shared an emotional post on Instagram. It read: “I am extremely upset to announce that mine and Tommy’s relationship has come to an end.

She told her 8.6 million followers, “I never imagined our story would end, especially not this way,” after five years of being together. He stated in his own statement that he was “heartbroken” and requested privacy.

The pair first met on the fifth series of Love Island back in 2019 and went on to welcome their first child Bambi, in January 2023. Just six months later, Tommy got down on one knee and asked his ladylove to marry him as the two got engaged.

After the long-distance couple split a year later, fans were understandably devastated, but in a shocking turn of events, the reality stars revealed they were rekindling their relationship.

The influencer acknowledged that the two had reconciled in an episode of her Amazon Prime Video docuseries Molly-Mae: Behind It All, which aired in May 2025. She had revealed on the program that his excessive drinking caused them to split up.

She stated, “I love Tommy so much and I love our family so much that I’m willing to ride the wave.” She later explained why things started to get back together. And I’m willing to do that because I want my family, not everyone wants to do it.

He obviously is aware that it is the beverage. What, four months has he not drank yet? I don’t believe the beverage has ever been consumed. Do you believe that drinking alcohol could still cause us problems, conceivable? Yes, but I believe Tommy was aware of my seriousness after the breakup. He’s just so much a different these days, she said.

The two first sparked rumours of them getting back together when they were spotted kissing at a New Year’s Eve party before jetting away to Dubai for a family holiday in May this year. They went Instagram official again last month with a loved-up snap with their little girl Bambi.

However, this time around, the mum-of-one has revealed they’re taking things slowly and not rushing into things. The sports star hasn’t moved back into her Cheshire mansion yet and she’s been avoiding showing him in her YouTube vlogs – until now that is.

Tommy was back on camera just last week in her most recent video diary, saying, “The wanderer has returned! like nothing has ever changed. As he kissed her goodbye and told her he loved her, the cherished couple laughed as they both laughed.

Kerry Katona’s daughter breaks down in tears over chilling memory of stepdad hitting her mum

Heidi, Heidi’s 18-year-old daughter, talks fame and what it was like growing up with her famous mother in her first interview.

Kerry Katona’s daughter broke down in tears as she recalled a chilling childhood memory of her stepdad hitting her mum.

Heidi Katona was just a child when her third husband, former rugby player George Kay, tragically passed away in a drugs overdose in 2019 at the age of 39 after “eating cocaine” at a hotel.

The now 18-year-old, who claims her biological father, Mark Croft, is Kerry’s second husband, a cab driver, and drug dealer, opened up about growing up and admitted: “I saw things as I should not have seen.”

The teen claimed she witnessed George brutally assault her mother, who is the father of Dylan-Jorge, Kerry’s 11-year-old daughter, DJ. He once threatened to kill DJ by injecting her with heroin.

Heidi, who wants to follow in her mum Kerry’s footsteps and be famous, now has mixed feelings about the man she called dad. In her first ever interview, she told The Sun: “I am grieving for him. But I also saw my dad hitting my mum.

Continue reading the article.

She was unaware of what I saw at the time. It affects who I am at the moment. I should not have seen things when I was younger. I went to a therapist, but I don’t understand why. I make an effort to be resilient. Like my mother, I use humor to cover up situations, but it’s not always simple.

The 44-year-old Atomic Kitten star has gained notoriety for both her career and personal life over the years. She and her first husband, Westlife star Brian McFadden, are the mother of five with three children: Molly, 23, and Lilly-Sue, 22.

Heidi, 18, and her brother, age 17, were both born while Mark Croft, her second husband, was still alive. Heidi, who suggested her real father wasn’t a part of her life any longer, paid tribute to her mother on father’s day earlier this month and shared the photo on social media as “The woman who did both jobs @kerrykatona7 Happy Father’s Day.” DJ, 11, is Kerry’s youngest child, and her father, George Kay, her late third husband, is her.

Over her 25-year career Kerry – who grew up in foster care – has been a singer and reality TV star and been declared bankrupt twice. But she is now a self-made millionaire again after joining adults only site OnlyFans – and Heidi revealed she got her kids approval before signing up to the platform during lockdown.

Before explaining what the site was, she explained how mum Kerry sat them all down and said, “I want to do OnlyFans, tell me if you have a problem with that.” She claimed that Lockdown meant that all of her other work had ended. She should do it because she is a mature woman who makes her own decisions, we all agreed.

She made money from her earnings to purchase all of our Airpods. I thought, “This is fantastic.” There is no significant difference between her previous attempts at glamour and those of which she has been pictured with her boobs out. She then takes control of her sexuality and profits from it.

We weren’t aware that she was having money problems at the time. Over the years, she has kept a lot of secrets from us.

Continue reading the article.

Her mother, who works for OnlyFans, now lives in a five-bedroom home in Cheshire and drives a Lamborghini, which Kerry acknowledges she’s made a lot of money selling foot fetish photos.

But though she has fame in her sights, Heidi insists she wants to be a lawyer or a property developer – and says she would never do Love Island as she doesn’t want her mum to see her kissing on TV.
