Kelly Clarkson has returned to her TV show stateside a month after the death of her ex-husband, Brandon Blackstock. The former American Idol winner, 43, took time out from presenting The Kelly Clarkson Show after the tragic news of Brandon’s death in August.

On August 7, Brandon, who had been married to Kelly for almost seven years before splitting in 2022, passed away from melanoma. He only had 48 years old. River Rose, 11, and Remy, 9, both had children of their own, respectively. Additionally, Brandon had two children from a previous union.

Kelly displayed her signature humour and emotion when she returned to her show role. The occasion was heartfelt even though she didn’t directly address her ex-husband’s passing.

Margot Robbie and Colin Farrell spoke with Kelly during the program. A Big Bold Beautiful Journey, a new movie from the Hollywood duo, was on the program. The trio bonded over “parenthood’s highs and lows.”

Earlier this month, Reba McEntire opened up about how her grandchildren, Brandon and Kelly’s children, are doing following his tragic death. She was speaking while on the red carpet at the Emmys.

She admitted, “The kids are doing well, they’re all bonding and hanging out with each other, and taking it one day at a time.” We are aware of this, God.”

After living with melanoma for more than three years, Brandon, a talent manager, passed away. A prepared statement from a representative for his family at the time made the announcement.

It read, “We are sad to announce the passing of Brandon Blackstock. Brandon bravely battled the disease for more than three years.

He was surrounded by family and passed away peacefully. We appreciate your prayers and thoughts, and we ask that everyone respect the family’s privacy in this challenging time.

Brandon’s daughter Savannah recently admitted she “never imagined” she would lose her father. The sad message posted on Instagram shared her pain. The 23-year-old, who is expecting her third child, wrote on the social media platform: “So far, 2025 has been a year full of ‘Trust in the Lord and lean not on your own understanding.’

“As we approach Quarter 3, I find myself reflecting on all the love and support my husband and I have received throughout the lows and heartache.”

I never had the opportunity to prepare myself for losing my father, let alone being young and pregnant, in spite of what I had previously known.

Over the past six months, we have received an overwhelmingly large amount of love and support, and we are forever grateful.

After the live broadcasts on BBC began over the weekend, Strictly Come Dancing fans were quick to point out a “change” in professional dancer Dianne Buswell.

Following the weekend’s live launch of Strictly Come Dancing, viewers were quick to spot a “massive change” to Diane Buswell. She took to the floor with her celebrity partner, Neighbours star Stefan Dennis, to show off their talents on night one.

The 36-year-old professional dancer, who is expecting her first child with partner Joe Sugg, performed a foxtrot to the Neighbours theme song, looking as elegant and stunning as ever. Their efforts, including notoriously strict scorer Craig Revel Horwood, earned them an impressive 22 points from the judges.

Despite her impressive display, fans noticed that off the floor there was a key difference – and it wasn’t due to her pregnancy. Instead, viewers were taken aback with how strong her accent has become.

Fans of the show criticized her accent, some claiming it’s as a result of Stefan’s relationship with an Aussie. One user joked on social media that “we’ve completely embraced Australia”!

While others quickly reaffirmed their disapproval, some claim that Dianne now sounds 10 times more Australian than she does when she is paired with Stefan.

Prior to the weekend’s live performances, Dianne had a sweet pregnancy update. She gave fans a behind-the-scenes update ahead of the highly anticipated first live performance from the new series.

The 35-year-old Australian dancer recorded a short clip from the Strictly dance floor before Saturday night’s live performances with a heartfelt nod to her pregnancy. We’ve completed our run, she declared.

We have both received physiotherapy and acupuncture in the past. We’ve had lunch. I had the tofu and he had the chicken.

We sat and chatted, and we watched a lot of the other routines, Dianne continued. How do you think you did your dance, everyone is looking fantastic, and you look great.

Stefan, 66, modestly responded, “I did okay. However, Dianne quickly assured him that “you did great” whenever he needed a supportive partner.

Stefan recently stated that Diane’s pregnancy is up to her to decide what she wants to do for training. He said, “She’s not silly with her body, what she can do, and what she can’t do.”

Additionally, the BBC gives her extensive medical assistance. The top priority is obviously her welfare, as well as the welfare of the baby. However, she has a lot of faith in her ability to accomplish this, and I have faith in her.

Dianne and partner Joe Sugg first met while on the show in 2018. Speaking of their “Strictly baby”, Stefan added: ““It’s like a fairy story, isn’t it?”

Peter Windsor has testified in court at Birmingham Crown Court that he is not responsible for Myleene Klass and her coworker Katie Breathwick stalking.

Myleene Klass was allegedly sent items with “sexual overtones” including a Catwoman outfit that left her fearing for her safety, a court heard. The TV star and singer, 47, was allegedly sent a note calling her a “naughty vixen”.

Peter Windsor, 61, denied stalking Myleene when he testified in court today. Additionally, he refrained from making a second allegation that he was stalking her coworker, Katie Breathwick, a presenter on Classic FM.

It has been alleged Windsor caused both women “serious alarm or distress” by sending items through the post. He allegedly sent letters to Katie’s workplace that included a pair of binoculars, running trainers, a bottle of Champagne and a stamp collection between March 2020 and December 2023.

Between November 2023 and August 2024, Windsor is alleged to have allegedly sent Myleene unwanted letters, fashionable clothing, shoes, and jewelry. On Monday, a jury of ten men and two women took the oath of office at Birmingham Crown Court.

Judge Tom Rochford instructed them not to conduct their own online research into any details about the “well-known” complainants. During the trial, the judge indicated that psychiatrists would give evidence.

He claimed in court that the defendant claimed that he was insane at the time, and that there might be a not-guilty verdict based on his insaneness. It caused her distress, according to Timothy Sapwell, the prosecutor’s attorney.

Due to the defendant’s obsessive interest in her, she was concerned about what the defendant might do to her or her family. Mr. Sapwell said when he opened the case that “the defendant became obsessed with those two presenters, and what he did was send them numerous letters and packages.”

The content was peculiar, and the letters and parcels were a lot. He had some sexual overtones, and it showed that he was obsessed with them.

Things like a police outfit and a catwoman outfit are among the items that were sent. According to the court, “He told the court,” those two women were distressed and alarmed, adding that they were concerned about going to work.

Mr. Sapwell claimed schizophrenia is present at the court. The court was informed that Myleene’s management, rather than her, would sort through her fan mail, but they did so in August of last year when they informed the presenter about safety concerns.

After a number of items arrived and were reported to the police, they expressed concern. Prior to Myleene receiving the air pistol and a note calling her a “naughty vixen,” officers intercepted another package that allegedly contained a note inviting her to correct the defendant with a cane.

Windsor was detained at his Birmingham home. According to what the court heard, they allegedly found binoculars, black leather gloves, and maps of London. After seeing a picture of her in a newspaper, Mr. Sapwell joked that Windsor had sent items to Myleene Klass, including a silver ring, a necklace, and a heart-shaped pendant.

He claimed that he believed the police had contacted him because he had been a victim of financial exploitation because of the cost of living in London, according to Mr. Sapwell. She objected to any publicity surrounding this. She merely desired that it end.

The trial is continuing, with Windsor denying two counts of stalking.

Former Love Island stars have called time on their budding relationship outside of the villa. Emily Moran, 24, and Ciaran Davies, 22, had grown close in recent months, but have decided to cut their connection.

Ciaran entered the abode last year looking for love, while Emily participated in the most recent episode of the show. Both of them failed in their search on television, but it appeared as though they both appeared to have found the answer in one another.

However, a source has since stated that the reality TV stars’ relationship “just wasn’t working out.” After they had just confirmed their romance a month earlier, it is still unclear what caused their relationship to end.

“Emily and Ciaran both decided to call it quits as it just wasn’t working out between the pair of them,” a source told The Sun. The Mirror has approached representatives for Ciaran and Emily for comment.

Last month, the duo was spotted in Manchester looking closely. Ciaran and the Welsh star appeared to be enjoying each other’s company while he was spotted circling the star during the outing.

Harrison and Lauren were also on a double date when other Love Islanders made up their side. When Emily and Ciaran first became engaged in the same bar in August, they became close.

The outing led to fans speculating there could be more than just friendship on the agenda. One user on Reddit said: “I feel like this is a perfect pairing,” while another claimed their choice of the same bar was “definitely not a coincidence”.

According to reports, they made a deal shortly after Emily was brutally dumped from the villa earlier in the year. According to a source, “Ciaran initially approached Emily when she left the show just to congratulate her and stuff,” which led to them to discuss their situation.
