Former This Morning presenter Judy Finnigan, who hosted the show with her husband Richard Madeley, was seen beside her daughter and grandchild in a photo shared recently

Former This Morning host Judy Finnigan was seen beside her daughter Chloe Madeley and one of her grandchild in a family photo shared over the weekend. The trio spent time together alongside Richard Madeley recently.

Chloe, 38, took to Instagram yesterday to share photos of her parents Judy, 77, and Richard, 69, with her daughter Bodhi, three. The personal trainer, who is the youngest of the couple’s two children together, shares her daughter with her ex James Haskell, whom she split from back in 2023.

The first photo showed Good Morning Britain host Richard sat a table with his granddaughter Bodhi on his shoulders. Chloe, who had her arm around her father, was seen stood beside them in the photo shared with her followers.

A second photo from the family’s outing showed Judy beside Bodhi and Chloe. She was seen smiling whilst her granddaughter sat on her mother’s lap at the table, and Chloe was seen kissing her daughter on the forehead in the photo.

It comes after Judy was met with compliments from fans just months ago after Chloe gave them a glimpse into her mother’s birthday celebrations in May. She marked the special occasion in a post on the platform at the time.

Judy, who was seen wearing a floral dress, was shown being presented with a cake in a video. Other content shared by Chloe showed balloons and her mother was seen spending time with family in a garden several photos.

The post prompted well wishes from fans. One wrote in the comments section: “How amazing does she look. Happy Birthday to Judy.” Another said: “Judy is looking beautiful.” Whilst a third person reacted to the post: “Judy looks fabulous. Happiest of birthdays to my favourite ever presenter.”

Judy is best known for presenting This Morning alongside her husband Richard. The couple hosted the ITV show from 1988 to 2001. They went on to front the chat show Richard & Judy on Channel 4 from 2001 until 2008.

She’s also an author, having released novels such as Eloise. And alongside her husband, she’s known for being behind the long-running Richard and Judy Book Club, which recommends books for other readers to try themselves.

Judy is now said to have retired from TV and she told the Independent in an interview in 2023: “I’ve got absolutely no interest in it at all now.” She said that it had been a “fabulous” career though and that she “loved most of it”.

She said it was “fascinating” and that she had met some “amazing people” over the years. Judy added: “But I did it for 30-odd years and the kind of TV I was doing was full-on, it was live and it completely sucks up your life.”

In the interview, Judy went on to say that as a parent she had “got fed up” of her career as a presenter. She told the outlet: “I wanted my own life instead of one that needed me to be in a studio at seven o’clock in the morning.”

Clarkson’s Farm fans have become convinced the Jeremy Clarkson show will come to an end after the upcoming fifth season, with a potential spin-off show on the cards

Viewers of Clarkson’s Farm reckon the fifth series will mark its finale, with supporters spotting several clues the programme is drawing to a close. The Jeremy Clarkson-led show has rapidly become a beloved hit amongst Amazon Prime subscribers, though it appears the series is now approaching its conclusion. Supporters flocked to the r/ClarksonsFarm Reddit forum and voiced their opinions on what might be the programme’s ending.

A message on the platform states: “Looks like this upcoming season five will be the last for Clarkson’s Farm,” revealing news that a spin-off series featuring cast members from Clarkson’s Farm could be under development. Whether the programme truly ends remains unconfirmed, but some supporters are preparing themselves for the finale – whilst others welcome the prospect of a spin-off series.

Hopes of a new series were shared by fans, while others are bracing themselves for the end of one of Amazon Prime’s biggest shows. One supporter commented: “It’s been looking that way for a bit now. Jeremy Clarkson talked a lot about this with S4 starting, that it was time for a break after S5.”

Another concurred, stating: “He also said it’s not necessarily the ‘end’ of the series, just that the whole crew needs a break after season five, if I remember correctly.”

Speaking to The Sun, Kaleb hinted at a possible programme of his own, remarking: “Hopefully one day. Who knows.”

Whilst supporters were thrilled by this prospect, they did contemplate wanting a series with Charlie Ireland as the main focus. One fan wrote: “Would prefer a Charlie spinoff to a Kaleb spinoff, but I’ll take it.”

Another added: “I always thought a Charlie spinoff where he goes and sorts out farms could be good. Like Gordon Ramsay kitchen nightmares but probably with less shouting/swearing.”

Clarkson did confirm he was keen on creating a sixth series of the programme, though it would need to be a “bl***y good” storyline to reunite the team, particularly when they’re desperately needing some time off.

He explained: “I’d do a sixth if there was a reason for doing it, like a bl***y good story… Whatever happens we’ll definitely take a short break as the crews are all worn out. We’ve been filming here two or three days a week, every week, for five years. Everybody could do with a rest.”

Supporters believe Clarkson has recognised the crew require some downtime, and it appears Clarkson’s Farm will enter a period of rest following its fifth series.

One viewer suggested: “They have been going for 7 years straight or something like that of working odd and random hours. This obviously messes with their family lives and other jobs they have lined up.

“It seems Jeremy has noticed this and has decided to give the show a break for a year so that the crew get a bit of a break of filming at odd and random hours.

“Also, the show has reached a point where not much is going to change year to year anymore so filming every 2nd year gives enough time for things to change a bit so that each season doesn’t just end up being mostly the same as the previous one.”

Another viewer suggested that the programme was running out of fresh ideas as it moved into its fifth series. They penned: “On the more realistic issues side I think next series will revolve around the incredibly dry summer we’ve had in a fair amount of the UK and the impact that has had on crops.

“It’ll be interesting as it’s the exact opposite to the series just gone which was an incredibly wet year. As for the fun quirky side I’m not really sure.

Kate Middleton has left fans floored after she pulled her hair back into a low do without a hair tie or clip – and we’ve found a simple £10 buy to help recreate the look

The Princess of Wales has stepped out for a series of engagements, with royal watchers catching a glimpse of her performing an apparent magic trick with her hair that has left fans amazed.

Kate took a tour of the Sudbury Silk Mills in Suffolk before later stopping by Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent. From there, the princess continued her tour with a trip to Marina Mill in Cuxton, Kent, where she donned an apron to get involved in the fabric-making process.

After covering her outfit with an apron, Kate pulled her long tresses back and tied up her hair, without using a hair bobble or clip. It seems the princess pulled her hair into a bun before wrapping it around itself, effortlessly securing it firmly in place with no hair tie in sight.

If you want to copy Kate’s chic hairstyle but don’t have the long princess curls to pull off the viral trick, or aren’t adept enough to learn how the Duchess did it, we’ve found the perfect £10 product on Amazon to create the look without the hassle.

This SEGO Pro Messy Real Hair Bun Scrunchie (£9.99) is crafted from 100% real human hair. This messy bun hair piece offers a soft, silky texture that blends seamlessly with your own hair. As a premium hair extension bun hair piece, it delivers a natural look and promises long-lasting wear and comfort.

It comes in a large variety of natural shades to match your hair perfectly. This scrunchie perfectly suits any style, whether you’d prefer curly extensions, a classic hair bun like Kate’s, or a soft, messy look.

This hair extension piece is designed for speed and ease. Simply wrap it around your own bun to create a voluminous, chic look in just 30 seconds. Perfect for busy mornings, this bun hair piece transforms your hair with zero fuss using a stretchable hair scrunchie base, so you don’t have to learn Kate’s mystifying trick to achieve her chic and sophisticated style in a matter of seconds.

The video of Kate’s hair trick quickly went viral on social media, as one royal watcher shared the clip of the moment on X with the caption: “Just the Princess of Wales effortlessly putting her hair into a bun with no hair ties or clips at all today.” The post welcomed a flood of comments, with one person writing: “I would never do this properly and so perfectly.”

Another wrote: “My bun would have fallen out 0.2 seconds later,” while someone else added: “Looks like this is something she does all the time. And it doesn’t look messy.”

One other fan wrote: “She’s done that a few times!” while another requested: “Someone needs to do a slow-mo tutorial featuring her so I can learn it. Mine just keeps falling! She’s a pro.”

One shopper who picked up this hair piece raves: “This is pretty much a hair tie with hair that’s wrapped over the top and curls under. It looks pretty simple but I feel like it makes a big difference for my hair. My hair is waist long and I wear a bun or pony tail every day. I don’t go out with the bun because they’re usually lopsided, too long, or just look bad, but this can cover it up if I don’t too bad of a job. I’ve found that just wrapping the tie around the bun evens out the space so it looks like a nice full circle.”

Another buyer beams: “This messy bun is everything it claims to be. The instructions can be found on the ordering page. It is lightweight and very easy to wear— just put your hair in a bun and wrap the messy bun around it like a scrunchie. The ordering page has various hairstyle ideas you can quickly duplicate. Because it is human hair, it can also be dyed. I love this messy bun. It is an affordable alternative to the salon for a new updo or summer casual hairstyle. It’s a lot of fun to try different looks depending on my mood. It is made well and I expect it to last a long time. It is a good value for the money.”

Though one shopper does note: “This looks really nice and definitely feels like real hair. I was able to get a pretty darn near perfect match for my hair color, but you could probably dye this to match if it doesn’t match yours exactly. I am docking one star though because after a couple uses the hair is getting a little tangled/twisted off the elastic. So I would be a bit careful when twisting it around your hair and pulling it off.”

Laura Anderson and Gary Lucy have had a strained relationship following their split and he angry with her recent social media barb as the dad-of-five branded her a ‘narcissist’

Bickering Gary Lucy and Laura Anderson’s war over their daughter has further intensified as he launched a savage stab at his ex.

Laura and Gary started dating after they both appeared on Channel 4 ’s Celebs Go Dating in 2022 and welcomed their daughter together in 2023. Despite them splitting up while Laura was pregnant, the couple attempted reconciliation ahead of Bonnie’s birth.

Gary was present during the labour and delivery, however, it wasn’t meant to be, and they split again and ever since the former couple have not exactly been on great terms. Laura has previously taken to Instagram to vent her frustration over Gary’s alleged lack of effort with his youngest child.

The actor is already dad to India, 19, Elvis,13, Sadie, 8, and Theodore, 8, who he shares with ex partner Natasha Gray, and it was being close to his children that reportedly forced Gary and Laura to separate, as she wanted him to move to her native Scotland when their baby was born.

Laura took a swipe at fathers who “hide money” on social media this weekend and Gary was quick to have his say. Reposting, he wrote: “Wait.. what. The narcissist’s greatest asset for leverage is a child. Children of narcissists are collateral damage in their game of control.

“… don’t forget… exploiting the child for financial gain on socials anything to keeps em ‘relevant’.” He was livid after Laura’s post, which read: “Explain this CMS ie UK Government. “CMS calculation is BEFORE tax on the unemployed (some people paying 40% tax).

“Ltd Companies (ie 1 Director) is calculated on <12k per year regardless of profit />

Gary revealed their split to The Sun in February 2023 when Laura was pregnant. He said: “I love Laura, but we are no longer together. My main drive as always, is to work together to co-parent our child. I look forward to the arrival of the new baby.”

In 2024, Laura began a new relationship with footballer Clark Robertson, whom she had reportedly known for several years. They went Instagram official in October 2024 and recently moved in together.

Laura keeps her followers updated on her life as a mum on Instagram and received backlash for going on a romantic getaway with her new boyfriend, without her daughter. After sharing a bunch of loved-up snaps online, Laura swiftly hit back at the nasty online trolls who tried to guilt-trip her about her picture-perfect getaway.

Laura told her followers: “Just to clarify, I do not feel guilty at all for holidaying without my child. Neither should you! Bonnie and I have holidayed together a lot, and it’s pretty obvious I’m a lone parent and look after her myself. l 100% deserve as many breaks as I see fit.”

She said: “I truly worry about the children of the women judging online and spreading hate. Spend your time reading your child a book instead of trolling me.”

The former Love Island star added: “I’m also not afraid to say I know l am an unbelievable mother, so your trolling doesn’t affect me. It just makes me sad that my daughter is growing up in a world like this. I truly hope you heal.”

A source claimed to OK! that the online backlash has been deeply unpleasant for the mum, but she’s doing her best not to let it get under her skin. They said “Laura doesn’t feel she’s done anything wrong – apart from having a good time on holiday with her boyfriend, and sharing her posts, like many of us do.”

“She adores her daughter and is absolutely devoted to her. It’s horrible for her to read these comments – but she’s her own woman, she won’t let it stop her living her life or let it destroy her happiness.”

Defiant Prince Harry says ‘my conscience is clear’ as he doubles down on the accusations he’s made against the royal family, but at what cost? A celebrity manager and PR expert decodes the Duke’s latest interview

Prince Harry has “widened the divide” between himself and the royal family with his latest “high risk” move, according to an expert.

The Duke of Sussex, who turns 41 today, has continuously taken aim at the monarchy since his self-exile to the US, delivering shocking bombshells during TV interviews alongside his wife Meghan Markle, as well as on Netflix shows and his own memoir Spare.

Now, in a new rare sit-down interview, Harry has insisted that he hasn’t “aired his dirty laundry” by sharing his experience of royal life and instead wanted to set the record straight, even if it means his relationship with his family was fractured.

“I know that [speaking out] annoys some people and it goes against the narrative,” Harry said, while visiting war-torn Ukraine after spending four days in the UK.

“The book? It was a series of corrections to stories already out there. One point of view had been put out and it needed to be corrected.”

He told The Guardian: “I don’t believe that I aired my dirty laundry in public. It was a difficult message, but I did it in the best way possible. My conscience is clear.”

The bold revelations come just days after Harry reunited with his father King Charles for the first time 19 months. During his fleeting trip to the UK, the Duke met his dad at Clarence house for tea in a meeting that lasted 55 minutes.

And now PR expert and celebrity manager Mayah Riaz has claimed that Harry’s latest interview is “a clever positioning move”.

“He’s trying to claim the moral high ground and signal that, whatever criticism comes his way, he believes he’s done nothing wrong or out of alignment with his values,” she told The Mirror.

“It’s a way of controlling the narrative: if you put yourself forward as acting with integrity, it forces critics to respond on your terms.

“The problem is, the moment you say your conscience is clear, people will start combing through everything you’ve ever said and done to find cracks. From a PR angle, it’s powerful – but only if your story holds up consistently over time.”

The Duke also seemed to make a subtle dig at his estranged brother William in his latest interview, as he said that while he wants to reconnect with his family, “you cannot have reconciliation before you have truth”.

The comment echoes allegations that Harry has made in the past about William. In his explosive Netflix show with his wife Meghan in 2022, the Duke said: “They were happy to lie to protect my brother” while Meghan was “fed to the wolves”. In the show, Harry also accused William’s team of lying and planting stories.

His remarks about William fit into a pattern we’ve seen before, Mayah observed. “Taking a swipe at his brother guarantees headlines and reinforces his story of being the wronged party,” she explained.

“In his world, silence could be seen as weakness, while speaking out feels like strength and authenticity. The risk is that if he keeps revealing more and more, people may eventually tire of it and see it less as courage, more as oversharing.

“When it comes to reconciliation, every public comment like this makes things harder. Repairing relationships usually needs a sequence which is truth, acknowledgement, apology (if needed), then steps toward healing.”

She added: “By criticising William so openly, Harry raises the stakes. The royals either have to respond, which we know that they tend to avoid, or stay silent, which just makes the divide look wider. From a strategy point of view, though, it does allow him to look transparent and principled – which resonates with people who already distrust institutions and prize honesty.”

The PR guru expects that Harry’s bombshell interview is just the latest hurdle in his ongoing rift with his family, and there might be a wider message at play.

“‘Reunion’ itself is a loaded word,” she said. “Harry’s interview pushes his version of the truth forward, but it also sets up more hurdles if he ever wants to rebuild things with his family, at least in public.

“On top of that, speaking out like this increases pressure on the family to say something. If they keep quiet, the rift looks bigger; if they push back, it deepens further. In a way, this might be deliberate on his part – a way to force some kind of movement.”

“What’s clear is that he isn’t just talking to his family or the palace. He’s speaking to the public. He needs people to see him as honest, principled, and credible, because that strengthens his hand and shapes how his story is received.

“So, overall it’s a high-risk, high-reward approach. It keeps him relevant, makes sure he controls the narrative, and positions him as the truth-teller. But it carries real risks: overexposure, credibility gaps if his story doesn’t add up perfectly, and the very real possibility that reconciliation with his family becomes harder the more he talks.”

Adolescence star Stephen Graham was seen calling a loved one after his success at the Emmy Awards last night, where the Netflix show that he co-created won six trophies

Adolescence star Stephen Graham was seen calling his stepfather Mike Fazakerley shortly after winning an Emmy Award. The actor was among the winners at this year’s ceremony, which was held in Los Angeles last night.

Stephen, 52, won Outstanding Lead Actor In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie for his role in the four-part Netflix series, released earlier this year on the streaming platform. It was one of six awards given to the acclaimed show, which was also co-created and co-written by him.

It’s since been reported that Stephen called his stepfather Mike, whom he refers to as ‘Pops’ and ‘dad,’ after thanking his family in his acceptance speech. He was seen on a video call outside the event in footage shared on X today.

The video shows Stephen, his wife Hannah Walters and their children Grace and Alfie in an outdoor area. The couple are seen using a phone for a call as his co-star Christine Tremarco celebrated the show’s success in the background.

Stephen is seen laughing and smiling whilst on the video call. Seemingly responding to his relative on the call, he says: “We did it alright, dad!” The actor then beams as he looks towards his wife before starting to walk down the street.

The footage was shared by the Hollywood Reporter’s Chris Gardner on X earlier. Chris, who was at the Emmys, wrote in the caption: “‘Pops!’ Stephen Graham FaceTimes his stepdad after cleaning up at the #Emmys for Adolescence.”

Mike is said to have entered Stephen’s life when the future actor was a child after his parents split up. It’s been reported that Mike married Stephen’s late mother Mary, who died three years ago, in 1989.

Stephen has spoken about his parents on occasion and Mike once shared his pride about his stepson. Mike told the Daily Mail earlier this year: “I watch all his work and I’ve watched Adolescence.” He added: “Stephen is brilliant, he is a true talent. Unquestionably one of this country’s finest.”

In his acceptance speech, Stephen thanked his family. He said: “There’s too many people to thank but I am gonna thank my friends and family. Without you none of this is possible.” He later added: “My dad for taking me to the video shop when I was a kid and starting my education in film.”

Adolescence, co-created by Stephen, won six awards at the Emmys last night. It included Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series. Stephen won in the Lead Actor category, whilst Owen Cooper and Erin Doherty won in the Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress categories respectively.

Additionally, Philip Barantini, who directed the show, was given the award for Outstanding Directing For A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie. Whilst Stephen and co-writer Jack Thorne took home Outstanding Writing For A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie.
