Just one week after their cozy display in Ibiza on Sunday, Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks sported a cigarette outside the Kiss FM studio in London.

Working on the weekend looked like a right drag for Pete Wicks and Olivia Attwood, as the Kiss FM presenters puffed away on cigarettes before heading inside to record their show on Sunday.

The former Love Island star, 34, has seen a renewed interest in her personal life over recent weeks thanks to reports her husband Bradley Dack was left fuming over her cosy snaps with Pete during their Ibiza trip.

The Loose Women presenter was seen enjoying a cigarette with Pete outside the London studio, while former TOWIE star Pete, 36, flaunted his muscular, tattooed arms in a grey vest, jeans and a pair of standout leopard print shoes.

Olivia, who had brought along her pet dog Lola, was seen engaging in quick smoke while chatting with her partner outside the studio. Olivia paired it with a baseball cap and cosy trainers while wearing a light grey tracksuit casually.

The ITV documentary caused a few eyebrows to raise earlier this month when she was snapped nestled in the arms of Pete, 36, looking cosy on a boat, with his hand on her hip. The pictures reportedly left Olivia’s husband fuming.

Amid the concern for Olivia’s marriage of two years, pals of the reality TV star and Pete have claimed they’re hoping it blows over soon. “Pete is sick of being unable to have close friends without it being misconstrued. He always has this problem of people thinking the worst,” the insider told the Mirror.

Olivia made it known last week that her husband, a football player, is not in a “perfect relationship.” In 2023, she wed the Gillingham midfielder, and they’ve since had a number of press releases.

Olivia Attwood’s second series of her television series, Bad Boyfriends, which features badly behaved men in shape, was previously mentioned to the PA news agency. “Perfect doesn’t exist, and everyone’s idea of a perfect relationship is different.

When viewers watch that, I ask them to remember that as well. You can’t write the rules for another couple; some things are non-negotiable in one relationship, but they are acceptable in another.

Although we tongue-in-cheek say in the show that we are a perfect couple, Brad and I are not perfect. Although our relationship is imperfect, it is just as good as it was for me.

Finding someone to be your life partner is where it works, where it makes your life better rather than worse, in my opinion.

And I believe that the show’s central theme is that what works for one person won’t work for everyone, and that is true of all people.

Due to a serious illness diagnosis, Billy Porter had to reschedule his performance in Broadway’s Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club. The actor has been confirmed to have a “serious case” of sepsis, according to producers.

The 55-year-old won’t be able to participate because he follows the doctors’ instructions because of the illness. Thankfully, the actor is recovering fully.

He will no longer serve as the Emcee because of his prior commitment to his well-being. The show needs to end its run early as a result of the announcement, which was made on Sunday.

His doctors are confident that he will recover fully, but have advised him to follow a restful schedule for the foreseeable future, according to a statement published in The New York Times.

Adam Speers, a producer for ATG Productions, also took the time to commend the actor for his efforts to date. We have made the difficult choice to end our Broadway run on September 21 with a heavy heart,” he said. We’re so happy to have been able to bring this adaptation of Cabaret, a famous work by John Kander, Fred Ebb, and Joe Masteroff to New York, and to have opened the doors to our own Kit Kat Club for the past year and a half.

Billy brought his unique passion and talent to the stage. We wish Billy a quick recovery and look forward to working with him once more in the near future.

Billy had been scheduled to participate in the 10-day run. However, due to his early departure, it will now come to an earlier time.

The final shows will feature former alternates Marty Lauter and David Merino. Sally Bowles will be played until the run is over, Marsha Wallace.

Billy’s Cabaret role was previously described as a “gift and such a blessing,” especially after being rejected when he attempted to audition for a 1998 revival.

In April 2024, Cabaret began showings on Broadway. There will be 592 regular performances by the time the run is over and 18 preview performances will be available.

Just before the scheduled performance at Manchester Pride, Billy’s health issue came just weeks after he pulled out of the role. The reason for being diagnosed was at the time.

We’re sorry to inform you that Billy Porter will not be able to perform at Mardi Gras today due to illness, according to the time’s organizers.

“We are aware that many of you anticipated their set as we did. Billy, enjoy your new life, and thank you from the Manchester Pride Team.

American actress Drew Barrymore revealed the extent of her daughter’s agonizing holiday injury while riding an e-bike in France.

Drew Barrymore has opened up on the terrifying incident that left her daughter with a nasty injury. The actress and chat show host, 50, said the family had a scary emergency situation as one of her daughters came hurtling off her electric bike during a trip in France.

Drew, who shares daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 11, with her ex-husband Will Kopelman, revealed the scary ordeal which made her cancel her plans with Stephen Colbert. Speaking on her pal’s US show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Drew told the host how she was in “fabulous France” when the nightmare happened.

When Drew claimed her daughter “ripped her entire elbow open,” the family was biking deep in the mountains. Numerous hospital visits were resulted from it.

We spent days in and out of an E. R., Drew told her pal. She claimed that when the initial incident occurred, her daughter had to think quickly.

As she praised her daughter’s quick thinking, Drew said, “She ripped off her bra and turned it into a tourniquet.” When the presenter attempted to give the mother-of-two some praise, she was also quick to take a dig at herself for teaching her daughter.

“No! That’s who she is, Drew said. And I’m just enthralled by her.

Prior to becoming a mother, Drew admitted earlier this year that she had been selfish. She acknowledged that while being a mother is “consuming,” she actually “prefers” this version of herself.

She wrote, “I’m still not myself,” in response to a fan’s question about how long it took her to regain her sense of self after giving birth. And I’m not sure if I’ll ever return to the carefree, self-centered person I was when I was a child.

I have two daughters and I can never let go of my love and concern for them. It consumes a lot. I’m just attempting to embrace who I am. And I’m now more comfortable with myself.

She continued, “I’m much more capable,” in her US Weekly article at the time. much more reliable. Much more admirable than I’ve ever been.

The 50 First Dates star, however, also emphasized that parenthood and child-freedom should be seen as “considered perfectly fulfilling roads” in life. And she claimed that the most powerful tool for self-discovery is “time.”

She continued, “Motherhood” or “otherhood” should be regarded as being entirely fulfilling roads. And may each of them help us become better people.

However, I believe this takes time. There are a lot of things involved in maturity. The great teacher is time.

Mark Labbett, also known as The Beast, is a Chaser on ITV’s The Chase and its spin-off Beat The Chasers. Recently, his co-star Darragh Ennis has revealed a behind-the-scenes secret.

Mark Labbett’s co-stars often have to stop him from doing one thing on Beat the Chasers due to his “big massive ego”, a fellow Chaser has claimed. Known as ‘The Menace’ on the popular ITV show, Darragh spilled the beans during an appearance on the Dempsey’s Dozen podcast, revealing that Mark, also known as ‘The Beast’, gets “genuinely mad” when he’s bested.

Mark and Darragh share the title of Chaser with Shaun Wallace (The Dark Destroyer), Anne Hegerty (The Governess), Paul Sinha (The Sinnerman), and Jenny Ryan (The Vixen).

During the conversation, the host brought up a moment from ‘The Chase’ where Mark ran out of time, leaving several questions unanswered. He said this incident left him “p****d off” and that he even “actually walked off”, highlighting just how seriously the Chaser takes the game.

Darragh agreed that they “do take it seriously” and that Mark was the “worst loser in the world”, although he claimed that the Chaser wouldn’t mind him saying as much, adding that he “genuinely hates it” and it’s “not an act”.

He explained that “He might play it a little bit, but he’s genuinely mad, really angry, a sore loser who kicks off, and then, five minutes later, he’s fine.” He simply doesn’t like losing, and he is extremely competitive, you see.

When we’re doing Beat the Chasers, we need to keep telling him to stop buzzing because he wants to impress because he has a huge, massive ego.

In 2024, a contestant alleged that Mark was so incensed by a loss that he punched the ITV set. Ballet dancer Wayne Sleep faced off against The Beast in 2018, alongside Emmerdale’s Dominic Brunt, Good Morning Britain’s Charlotte Hawkins, and comedian Ricky Tomlinson.

Chatting with the Daily Star, Wayne expressed his desire to return to the show, revealing that Mark was “fuming” after his defeat and “punched the scenery as he left”.

He remarked, “I asked Bradley, Is he always like that?” and he claimed that a ballet boy had beaten him, and that he was furious. He also didn’t talk to us much after that.

Wayne continued, “let’s make it happen” if he were given the chance to make another appearance on the quiz show.

In another incident, Mark recently walked off Beat The Chasers (Sunday, August 31) after losing £100,000 to lucky contestant Gavin, quipping: “I’ll get my coat”.

Before telling the contestant they would cut their time by 40 seconds and invited him to compete for the substantial sum, he described the other offers as “stingy.”

In the end, Gavin clinched victory with just four seconds to spare. Host Bradley Walsh quipped: “Beastie, you’d best leave now.”

First off, well played, Sir, Mark responded. I’ll get my coat, then”! The Beast then left.

Boxer Tommy Fury missed out on 30k of cycling because of problems with the road closures in France, but didn’t mention it in his social media posts, leading to claims he ‘ cheated ‘

Tommy Fury has been blasted for claiming he’d “completed” his first triathlon – when in reality he didn’t finish the swim or biking sections of the race. The boxer, 26, posted pictures of himself crossing the finishing line of the gruelling 100k race, which took place in France last week. He was cheered on by girlfriend Molly Mae Hague and their daughter Bambi, two, who had travelled there to surprise him.

“I left it all out in the French Riviera. 100KM triathlon on 10 days training… completed,” he wrote on Instagram, posting a video of his final jelly-legged sprint over the line.

But sports experts have since pointed out on website tri247.com that his name has a DNF next to it on the Sportstats website, meaning he did not finish, The full race has three stages, a 2km swim, 80km bike ride and 18km run but Tommy was not logged beyond 48km on the bike, and also had his swim cut short.

A statement from the Professional Triathletes Organisation confirmed that a total of 93 athletes were affected by problems with the roads, which needed to be reopened before they had finished their laps. “Due to our permit for the road closures in France, unfortunately Tommy and some other athletes in the 100km amateur race were unable to complete the bike course before the cut-off time”, they explained.

“However, given our philosophy to grow the sport and encourage new athletes, we wanted to give them as full an experience as possible. So they were all given the opportunity to do the 18km run and cross the finish line”.

Social media posts from Tommy, the younger brother of boxing champ Tyson, showed his fiancée, Molly Mae, cheering him on during the run along with his daughter, and also congratulating him with a long hug at the end. She posted “proud” next to his finish line video.

But while the posts about the race drew nearly 300k likes, some of his followers made their disappointment clear. One told him: “Come on lad, you missed the swim cut off and only did 50k of the bike.” Another agreed: “This is embarrassing. Officials have confirmed that you didn’t make the cut off times yet here is the frightening world of social media, people would have more respect for you if you were honest.”

Additionally, other athletes criticized him even harsher. When people like you cheapen the efforts of others who didn’t do the full swim or the bike, as they have cheated on me, it makes me sick.

Another concurred that allowing athletes to accept credit for their non-performances undermines the sport’s reputation.

However, some still admired what he had accomplished in just 10 days of training. “Insane accomplishment,” according to Daniel Chambers. Because they can’t do it, everyone who makes the negative comments is a sign of their jealousy of what you are capable of accomplishing.

Liliana posted a photo of herself and Dave on Facebook and wrote: “We don’t speak about these moments, but today I will. It would have been his birthday tomorrow.

“Holding the hand of someone you love as they leave this world changes you forever. In that intimate moment, all the noise of the world fades away, and between you and them, there is just love. It’s the moment you realise how short and how precious is this experience called life.

And how fortunate are you to witness this loss of a loved one. In this fleeting last breath, the entire universe collapsing in a beautiful silence in front of you.

She continued, “I had this incredible privilege to witness this uncountable, sacred moment, something so tragic and beautiful, that forever altered my outlook on life. It was Dave’s final gift to me, serving as a reminder to cherish what we shared and to live more fully grateful and joyfully for the time I have left.

Thank you, my love, for every gift you gave me, because you made me the best version of myself. Thank you for allowing me to contribute to your life and the world.

Liliana discussed her struggles with losing her soul mate earlier this year. She openly described her experience with grief and the many difficulties she faces. Liliana stated in her moving message, “Through three distinct experiences to report. Yesterday, I was training for my motorcycle, and as I drove over there, I was considering giving up.

“Because I’ve already messed up and stumbled before, and I didn’t want to waste anyone’s time on me.” The most compassionate instructor I encountered, Mark from Darbyshire Motorcycle School, said, “I met him with compassion.” You can’t just give up right now, Lili. You have a lot of fans because of your modeling skills. You now have voice control. That made my eyes open, oommmmm.

In an effort to honor her late husband, she also revealed that she has written a memoir. She outlined the new book as “a tremendous challenge for me on many levels” during announcing it. But what, exactly? By writing Dave’s story, I honored him with all of my creative side. Our tale The reveal is coming today!!! “Dave and Me,” the book, was released in June.
