Sophie Turner and boyfriend Peregrine Pearson put on a united front after rumours of a split were sparked by claims one had joined a celeb dating app

Sophie Turner joined her boyfriend Peregrine Pearson at a press event in a display of unity after rumours swirled that the pair had split and the Game of Thrones star had joined celeb dating app Raya.

This appearance together at the launch of his family estate’s cookbook on Wednesday (10 September) was the first time they had been seen with each other since Glastonbury in June. In the couple’s absence from the public eye, it was claimed that Sophie joined the exclusive celebrity dating app Raya.

This came after news Sophie had unfollowed Peregrine on Instagram, leading many to believe the couple had split. But, this week, the actress, 29, and her aristocrat boyfriend, 30, showed everyone they were very much still together. The pair took a number of photos together at the event with their arms around each other.

Whilst Peregrine does not work in the entertainment industry, his family still have links as his father, Michael Pearson, the 4th Viscount Cowdray, is a former film producer. Among others, Michael produced Sympathy For The Devil, a 1968 film featuring The Rolling Stones and directed by Jean-Luc Goddard.

Sophie, who first found fame as Sansa Stark in Game of Thrones, first revealed she was dating Peregrine in December 2023, shortly after the end of her marriage to Joe Jonas. In November of 2024, it was claimed that Sophie had said she would love to have children with her current partner and believed he was “the one”. She already has two children with her ex-husband – Willa and Delphine.

Joe is part of a pop band with his brothers Nick and Kevin, called Jonas Brothers. The band has had some hits, including Sucker and a cover of the Busted song Year 3000. They were also Disney Channel stars, appearing in films like Camp Rock and their own TV series.

Joe and Sophie finalised their divorce in September 2024. Afterwards, an insider said: “Sophie wants her happy ever after. Joe wasn’t it.

“Peregrine seems to be the one, and she would love to have children with him one day, and the likelihood of that happening is pretty good. They will certainly try.”

Hollywood icon Bruce Willis was initially diagnosed with aphasia in 2022 before his condition ‘progressed’ and doctors learned he has frontotemporal dementia

Bruce Willis’ wife, Emma Heming Willis, revealed a devastating update about the Die Hard actor’s health following his dementia diagnosis. Bruce, now 70, was initially diagnosed with aphasia in 2022, with his family explaining that his cognitive abilities were affected by the condition, which can involve difficulty with communication.

It was then shared the following year that his condition had “progressed”. They said that, since initial diagnosis, he had received a “more specific” one of frontotemporal dementia (FTD). His family, including ex-wife Demi Moore and their children, have been sharing regular updates on his condition.

In Emma’s new book, The Unexpected Journey, she details the progression of his diagnosis while also detailing how their lives have changed.

Early on in the book, Emma revealed Bruce isn’t able to communicate with her. She said: “All caregiving journeys can feel lonely and isolating, but the dementia caregiver’s path often feels even more so.

“The absence of shared decision making or meaningful conversations with your loved one amplifies that sense of isolation. Because Bruce can’t communicate with me (due to the variant forms of FTD he has, primary progressive aphasia) I must make judgement calls for him about absolutely everything.

“I can’t ask him how he’s feeling, what’s wrong, or if something hurts. Instead, I read his body language or look into his eyes to understand what’s bothering him and what he’s experiencing. I compare this to that instinct that you have as a parent.”

Emma admitted she has a ‘hard time’ responding to people asking how he’s been doing as her ‘unhinged response’ would be to tell them: “Well, he has FTD. How do you think he’s doing?!”

She said: “Yes, I know when people ask that, it is coming from a place of concern and love. And of course, it’s better they ask than skirt by it; I just have a hard time responding without spiralling.”

Bruce’s daughter with Demi, Tallulah Willis, once said his family thought his “unresponsiveness” was due to his hearing issues prior to his dementia diagnosis.

Speaking about the symptoms, she told Vogue in 2023: “It started out with a kind of vague unresponsiveness, which the family chalked up to Hollywood hearing loss: ‘Speak up! Die Hard messed with Dad’s ears.’ Later that unresponsiveness broadened [though].”

In the recent interview with Fox News Digital, Emma also spoke about other signs that she noticed. She said that Bruce had a “severe stutter” as a child but later learned to “manage” it.

She however said that one of the “first signs” before his diagnosis was that his stutter was “coming back”.

Acclaimed actor Daniel Day-Lewis is back on the big screen in a family project this month – and has now addressed his previous comments where he announced his retirement from acting

Daniel Day-Lewis never intended to retire from acting and described the former comments he made about stepping away from performing as “grandiose gibberish”.

The Oscar winner, 68, is considered to be one of the greatest talents of his generation with movies including My Left Foot, Gangs Of New York, and There Will Be Blood. Speaking to Rolling Stone magazine, Day-Lewis said: “I would have done well to just keep my mouth shut, for sure.

“It just seems like such grandiose gibberish to talk about. I never intended to retire, really. I just stopped doing that particular type of work so I could do some other work. Apparently, I’ve been accused of retiring twice now. I never meant to retire from anything! I just wanted to work on something else for a while.”

The Oscar winner announced after the release of Phantom Thread in 2017 that he would be stepping away from the profession.

A spokesperson for the star at the time said: “Daniel Day-Lewis will no longer be working as an actor. He is immensely grateful to all of his collaborators and audiences over the many years.”

But explaining further in the new interview, he added: “The work was always something I loved. I never, ever stopped loving the work. But there were aspects of the way of life that went with it that I’d never come to terms with — from the day I started out to today. There’s something about that process that left me feeling hollowed out at the end of it.

“I was well acquainted with it. I understood that it was all part of the process, and that there would be a regeneration eventually. And it was only really in the last experience [making Phantom Thread ] that I began to feel quite strongly that maybe there wouldn’t be that regeneration anymore. That I just probably should just keep away from it, because I didn’t have anything else to offer.”

Day-Lewis was talking to Rolling Stone to promote Anemone, the debut film from his son, Ronan Day-Lewis.

The movie is billed as an exploration of the complex and profound ties that exist between brothers, fathers, and sons.

The plot has been kept under wraps, and wasn’t made entirely clear by its first trailer, which introduces Daniel Day-Lewis as Ray Stoker, a man wrestling with his past out in a rainy and isolated, wooded location.

Anemone is Day-Lewis’s first film since 2017’s Phantom Thread.

“Ro made it pretty clear that he wasn’t going to do it if I didn’t do it. But we had a very happy time writing this story together, and I think it was really in the spirit of wanting to just keep that ball in the air that we thought, We’ll keep moving forward with this, whatever that means,” he said.

Ronan Day-Lewis directed from a script he wrote with Daniel Day-Lewis, with Brad Pitt’s Plan B producing. Samuel Bottomley, Safia Oakley-Green, and Samantha Morton co-star.

* Anemone will have its world premiere at the New York Film Festival before being released in the US on October 3, and in the UK on November 7.

In this Thursday’s Mirror Daily Digest, we’ve pulled together the biggest stories of the day from Lord Mandelson’s dramatic sacking over Epstein to NTAs insider gossip and the latest on Charlie Kirk’s shooting

Welcome to the Mirror’s Daily Digest, where we pull together all the best stories of the day from our News, Showbiz, Sport teams and more. This Thursday, we’re featuring everything from Keir Starmer’s sacking of Peter Mandelson over his links to disgraced paedophile Jeffery Epstein to our reporter’s experience of the NTAs afterparty and the FBI closing in on Charlie Kirk’s shooter.

Peter Mandelson was dramatically sacked this morning after pressure was piled on the US Ambassador over his relationship with paedophile financier Jeffery Epstein. Elsewhere, our reporter has written of his shock at the NTAs afterparty and the FBI claim to have retrieved the weapon thought to have killed Charlie Kirk.

Peter Mandelson sacked as US Ambassador after new Jeffrey Epstein emails uncovered

After Keir Starmer found himself under fire during yesterday’s PMQs over Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffery Epstein, this morning, our Politics team broke the news that the US Ambassador had been sacked. The PM asked for him to be removed from the position after it emerged he coached Epstein through “years of torture” over underage sex charges.

The British Embassy in Washington said the emails show the depth and extent of Lord Mandelson’s relationship with Epstein is “materially different from that known at the time of his appointment”. Mr Starmer now faces questions about how much he knew and when he learned about the contents of the emails.

He held an emergency meeting with Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper this morning, at which Lord Mandelson’s fate was sealed. That came just 24 hours after he defended the Ambassador at PMQs as the crisis deepened. His sacking comes just days before US President Donald Trump comes to the UK on a state visit.

‘I was at the National Television Awards afterparty – I expected drama but was shocked’

The biggest night in the TV calendar – the National Television Awards – took place last night, with Assistant Celebrity and Entertainment Editor Daniel Bird being granted access to the afterparty. However, Daniel was left shocked after the party wasn’t quite what he expected.

He wrote: “It’s one of the most exclusive parties in the business, but I managed to get into the National Television Awards afterparty. Shortly after the ceremony came to an end, I found myself walking backstage at the O2 Arena, going past dressing rooms and memorabilia signed by artists including One Direction and Celine Dion as I made my way to the afterparty.

“I was able to rub shoulders with some of my favourite TV stars, mainly EastEnders and Casualty, but I also bumped into all sorts of “famous” people and the odd social media “influencer.” I was instantly greeted by a free bar, albeit prosecco, wine and lager – not the typical afterparty I am used to.”

Circle closing around Charlie Kirk shooting suspect as FBI find weapon

Charlie Kirk’s shooting shocked the world yesterday evening as Donald Trump broke the news that the conservative activist had been killed in the attack. Throughout this Thursday, our News team have attempted to stay across the latest news from across the pond.

The FBI has released an image of a person of interest wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of Charlie Kirk. The manhunt is continuing after the 31-year-old ally to the US president was hit in the neck by a bullet while he was talking at Utah Valley University. In a video message, Trump said: “I am filled with grief and anger at the heinous assassination of Charlie Kirk.”

The Utah Department of Public Safety confirmed no one is currently in custody in the investigation into Kirk’s killing, with the shooter believed to have been in a nearby building.

Charles ‘told Diana he was returning to Camilla as she lay in hospital after Harry’s birth’

Our royal team have revealed that King Charles III allegedly left Princess Diana in tears in her hospital bed just hours after she gave birth to Prince Harry. The then Prince of Wales was apparently visiting his newborn son for the first time, when he turned to Diana and said the words which she later claimed were the death knell for their marriage.

She later relayed the story to her one-time ‘rock’ and butler Paul Burrell, who has gone public with it today, as the world speculates about the future for Prince Harry and King Charles’s relationship following their 55-minute reunion meeting.

“[Diana told me] Charles came into the hospital, looked in the cot and said ‘Oh, red hair’,” recalls Paul, in his new book The Royal Insider, out now. “Diana replied, ‘But, Charles, you know that’s the Spencer gene. We’ve all got red hair’.” Paul adds: “Then [according to Diana] came the damning blow. He said, ‘Well at least I’ve got my heir and spare now and…. I can return to Camilla’.”

Horror moment neighbour throws boiling water over gran and boy, 4, on school run

Disturbing video footage shows the moment a neighbour hurled a kettle full of boiling water onto a disabled grandma’s face, leaving her seriously injured. Susan Varley, 68, was walking her four-year-old grandson to school when her next door neighbour, Ina Priestly, 56, approached her and poured the steaming hot water over her face.

In horrific CCTV footage of the attack, Susan was seen falling to the ground and screaming in pain as Priestly simply walked away. The gran suffered serious burns to her scalp, forehead, left cheek and ear, and the back of her neck – with her eyesight saved thanks to the glasses she was wearing. Her grandson avoided the scorching water only because he had his coat hood up.

Ina pleaded guilty to one count of causing grievous bodily harm with intent at Leeds Crown Court and was given a two-year community order. She is also required to comply with up to 25 rehabilitation activities. Susan, from Morley, Leeds, is still too ill to speak, but her daughter Donna, 35, said: “My mum is now a shell of the person she once was.

The actor is sure to pay tribute to his father Martin Sheen and brother Emilio Estevez

A new Netflix documentary sees Hollywood icon Charlie Sheen tell all about his rollercoaster life and career.

The actor, who became the highest paid star during his time on sitcom Two and a Half Men, opens up on some of the toughest chapters in his life and even addresses some rumours for the first time.

According to its synopsis, the doc promises to show Charlie Sheen as you’ve never seen him, with seven hard-fought years of sobriety behind him as he finally leaves it all on the table, and revisits the very public peaks and valleys of his life with humour, heart, and jaw-dropping candour.

Released earlier this week, the film, released in two parts clocking in at around three hours runtime, is surging up Netflix’s charts. At the time of writing, it has become the third most watched film among UK users in just 24 hours.

While the film involves archive footage as well as extensive conversations with Charlie himself, a number of people close to the star are also involved. This includes two of his wives, Denise Richards and Brooke Mueller.

HIs former Two and A Half Men co-star Jon Cryer also appears although he admits he wasn’t sure he would participate. As does his friends, comedian Chris Tucker and fellow actor Sean Penn.

Sibling Ramon Estevez and two of Charlie’s children also speak about their relationships with him. However, there are family members who are notably missing.

These are his father and successful movie star in his own right Martin Sheen and his other brother Emilio Estevez. Both declined to take part in the Netflix documentary.

Charlie himself mentions their absence in the documentary, and alludes to their reason for not wanting to appear. He tells the camera: “Emilio and Dad, they fully support me. They’re rooting for me in ways you can’t even imagine. But I can’t expect people to revisit all the drug abuse and all the s****y choices that hurt the people I love. Would I love them both in this? Absolutely. But I completely understand why they chose not to.”

The documentary shows some of these times which may be emotionally difficult for some to revisit. This includes the times Martin Sheen held press conferences in an attempt to get his son to enter rehab for his drug addiction. It’s understandable some may find it difficult to revisit an emotionally painful time.

Charlie’s relationship with his dad and brother seems to be in a much better place now. He ensures the documentary ends with a tribute to his father. He says near the end: “I can’t imagine being my dad. I can’t even imagine it. We banged heads a lot over the years. We haven’t for a long time. We came to a place that’s been beautiful. It has been nourishing. If I could put it into one word: gratitude.”

During this clips are shown of Charlie and Martin Sheen appearing in the sitcom Spin City together. Their characters even tell each other how much they love each other.

As for Emilio, he has recently helped his brother promote the Netflix documentary and memoir. He talked to him for a piece in Interview Magazine.

In their lengthy chat, the pair talk about their love for the movie Jaws and its 50th anniversary and also find time for inside jokes by quoting their father’s classic war movie Apocalypse Now by ending with deciding who will pick up something for their mother before family dinner that evening.

Emilio also gives another hint why he may have not appeared in the doc as he tells his brother at one point: “Celebrity documentaries are like social media pages on steroids, that’s how I see them anyway. I think it’s important to know that the object of the documentary most often doesn’t get to have final cut before it hits the airwaves.”

Former bandmates Frankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes snapped a smiley selfie together but the fall-outs with the Hear’Say pop star are still causing problems at ITV

Only a few months after the rumours of a feud started, Frankie Bridge and Rochelle Humes have proven they’re still friends by taking a smiley selfie together at the National Television Awards.

The two former Saturdays bandmates were thought to be feuding after they both seemed to snub each other at Wimbledon this year. But at last night’s NTAs (9 September) the pair cuddled up to Melvin Odoom to grab a selfie of the three of them. If that wasn’t enough to assuage fans’ fears of a fallout, they were both wearing wide grins in the picture.

But while they seemed to be as close as usual, Frankie and her fellow Loose Women panellist Myleene Klass seem to be on much frostier terms, as do Rochelle and Myleene.

A decade-long feud is said to be reignited between Frankie and Myleene, centring on the Hear’Say singer’s ex-husband, Graham Quinn. In July, Myleene dropped a bombshell announcement when she claimed she caught Graham in bed with a well-known female celebrity when they were still dating. She alleged the incident happened before they got married and at her own birthday party, but it is unknown to whom she was referring.

Bodyguard Graham worked with both Frankie and Rochelle. The two pop stars were also close with Myleene, who attended Rochelle’s hen do, but that friendship is rumoured to have ended when she and Graham split up. In 2013, the same year Myleene got divorced, she is said to have felt ignored by Frankie, leading to a confrontation that the Glamour Women of the Year awards.

The recent feud with Rochelle began after she and her husband Marvin Humes went on holiday with Graham last month, leaving Myleene reportedly fuming.

The Sun revelaed how ITV bosses were having to step in and ensure Frankie and Myleene didn’t run into each other and the pair haven’t been on Loose Women at the same time since December. Talking about the last time they appeared on the show together, an insider said it was “awkward”.

“There was talk backstage at Loose Women that Frankie and Myleene said they weren’t keen to appear on the same panel. But over Christmas, because of people being on holiday, they were drafted on to the same episode.

“It appeared to be awkward and they seemed to be interacting as little as possible.”

In August, Frankie posted a cryptic TikTok video of herself sipping wine, with writing on the screen reading: “You’re so quiet… Thanks, you said something five years ago and I’ve just realised you’re actually dead to me.”

In the post’s caption she said: “Takes me a while, but once you’re dead you’re dead.”
