EastEnders’ Charlie Brooks reunites with ex Tony Truman on lavish Ibiza getaway

As her daughter Kiki, her ex-boyfriend, and baby dad Tony Truman posed for family photos while on vacation in Ibiza, Charlie Brooks beamed with joy.

Charlie Brooks, an EastEnders star, spends time with his daughter Kiki and his ex-boyfriend Tony Truman.

EastEnders star Charlie Brooks looks like the picture of contentment as she posed alongside her daughter and ex-boyfriend Tony Truman. Charlie, 44, was once engaged to Tony until they ended their romance in 2006, and he is also the father of their daughter Kiki.

Along with a number of mutual friends, the trio took a trip to Ibiza. Tony is seen on a yacht in the Spanish party island while holding Charlie and their daughter in one image.

Charlie shot to fame playing Janine in the BBC soap but finally bowed out of her role in 2022. She then later took part in Dancing On Ice.

The pair have managed to maintain a close relationship despite calling it quits on Charlie, with Tony living above Charlie.

Tony wrote in a caption for “Special moments with family & friends feeling blessed” when he shared family photos with friends on social media.

Then Charlie reposed the same images and said “Fam”. A red heart emoji was used to accompany the caption. The couple continued to live together for six months after their relationship ended.

Speaking about their living arrangements back in 2007, the actress told Sunday magazine: “We knew our friendship would continue because that’s how our relationship started. People ask if it’s weird still living together, but we’re just getting on with it for Kiki’s sake.”

Charlie continued to explain their current living conditions in an interview with the Daily Mail, explaining that he had previously resided in the apartment above her.

She stated in 2021, “He is absolutely my family, and nothing can ever change that, no matter how much we fall out, which we have done,” in a statement.

She continued, “He can be an a***hole occasionally, but no one is perfect. I love him to pieces.” One of my closest friends is him.

Charlie is currently single after ending her brief relationship with producer James Fuller. But again, the two have remained amicable. Back in February, James congratulated her on her performance on Dancing On Ice.

James wrote on social media: “Damn you guys are elegant, graceful, and gorgeous! It’s a 10 for me! I’m looking forward to seeing you skate again on Sunday! You are unquestionably the coolest, most thoughtful, wonderful, and kind ex-girlfriend, and your current best friend.

He continued, “I’m so happy to be taking this journey with you.” You’ve got this girl, man! You are so very proud of you that words cannot do you justice.

And he continued, “Looking forward to a game of Rummikub with you after you have won this show and before you start Chitty,” while addressing the production of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, which Charlie starred in.

TOWIE star Mario Falcone’s life now after quitting fame from new look to family life

Although he achieved fame with The Only Way is Essex in 2011, Mario Falcone’s life seems to have drastically changed since then when he was a party boy.

Mario Falcone shot to fame on the third series of The Only Way is Essex in 2011. He was known as the ladies’ man and party boy, often stirring up drama with his bad-boy antics.

During his time on the show, the 37-year-old’s biggest storylines included his relationship with Lucy Mecklenburgh and his rivalry with original cast member Mark Wright.

After leaving the show in 2017, Mario’s life is looking very different these days. He’s ditched his party boy image and prefers to stay out of the crazy world of showbiz.

Let’s take a look at the former ITV star’s life now, from his new look after undergoing surgery to his family life with his wife and two children…

new appearance

Mario showed off a new look after undergoing surgery
After having surgery last year, Mario recently donned a new appearance.

When Mario revealed his new appearance after having blepharoplasty to remove excess skin or fat from his eyelids, his fans were shocked just last year.

He told his Instagram followers: “This summer he told his Instagram followers: “My hooded eye lids have been something I have grown very conscious of over the past couple of years, I blame the kids [laughing emoji], very happy with the results so far! Big thank you to @dr.carlodebbas.”

One fan said, “Wow, wow, wow, wow, seriously didn’t even recognize you!” and the fans couldn’t get over his new appearance. My mind is completely blown by how someone can appear to be completely different!

Another follower added, “Oh my goodness, that doesn’t look like him at all,” while a third added, “My head is gone!” Even his story resembles nothing less than him.

After having a secret rhinoplasty procedure in 2016 and feeling bullied by some of his TOWIE co-stars, Mario had no fear of surgery.

Family life

Mario got engaged to Becky Miesner while on holiday in Santorini, Greece, in 2017 and tied the knot in a stunning ceremony in Sorrento, Italy, surrounded by their loved ones.

Parker Jax, who was born in 2018 and Cali Roux, who was born in 2023, are the parents of their children.

It’s the best thing ever and I absolutely love it, Mario said after becoming Parker’s father for the first time.

I get to spend a lot of time with Parker because I’m fortunate that I can support myself while working from home. He’s probably my best friend, in my opinion!

When their children are in school, during family holidays, birthdays, and the start of the school year, Mario and Becky frequently post pictures and videos on social media.

battle with mental illness

The former reality star revealed how “he faced soul-devastating loneliness” he experienced in 2019 as a stay-at-home dad to Parker while Becky worked in her salon.

You might not admit you’re lonely, he said at the time. Nobody enjoys displaying signs of struggle, especially as a parent.

“There were no other dads around to help me and I spent the entire day at home alone. The most soul-destroying, lonely thing to ever happen.

When Becky got home, I didn’t want to make a fuss about it. Even when she and I were both exhausted from working, I still felt alone. I made her feel bad, but I didn’t want that.

Celebs Go Dating’s Anna Williamson split from boyfriend after heartbreaking conversation

Anna Williamson, a celebrity go-dating expert, appears to lead a charmed life with her Italian husband and two children, but she claims that her happy ending hasn’t always been easy.

While she’s known for putting famous folk through their paces in the quest for true love on Celebs Go Dating, Anna Williamson isn’t afraid to practise what she preaches when it comes to hard truths and lessons. The presenter and relationship counsellor, 44, is happily married to fitness coach Alex Di Pasquale, and they share two children, but her path to happily-ever-after hasn’t all been smooth sailing.

Anna says she always knew she wanted to become a mum and, in her early thirties, was faced with the prospect of choosing between staying with her then boyfriend who didn’t want children, or walking away from the relationship and “starting again”. “My partner at the time was hesitant about having a family. I knew that from the beginning, and he knew that I really did want a family,” she tells OK! as we sit down for an exclusive catch-up.

We shared a lot of love for one another, and I believe both of us hoped to find some sort of balance or compromise. But then, we needed to engage in a significant conversation at the end of our five-year relationship.

He had to be very honest and say that wasn’t in his plan, even though I was focused on starting a family at some point in the near future. Both of us were right and wrong, and it was painful, but honesty was also very important. One of us would have been let down by life if we had greenlit either way.

So at 33, working as an agony aunt on This Morning and presenting on Big Brother’s Bit On The Side, Anna found herself single but wanting a baby, and was feeling “desperate”. But, as she now advises many of her clients, she decided to arm herself with knowledge and information rather than make any rash decisions that would come back to bite her years down the line.

She says, “I could have easily chosen the wrong partner just to tick that box.” As a relationship coach, I hear this a lot. Everyone has a propensity for thinking, “Well, if I meet someone now, it’ll probably take so many months before I can try for a baby, and then it might take this long months to conceive.”

We all believed that a traditional path was required, but now that we are aware that there are other ways to go about things, and we have them all.”

Anna, who is currently coaching the likes of Kerry Katona and Mark Labbett on the set of E4’s Celebs Go Dating, describes the timeline planning as a form of “mental maths”, which is often based on outdated ideas of fertility and relationships. Rather than give in to the pressure of the maths, she underwent a host of fertility tests to understand exactly where she stood and what her options might be.

She was informed of her fertility decline, hormone levels, options for freezing eggs, and other information. She claims that the issue is that we don’t talk about fertility enough. We are unsure of our choices. However, having knowledge is power, and I didn’t want to be in a panic.

I was enjoying my career, and I didn’t want to find a relationship just to find one. However, I also understood that I was very important to having children. Therefore, knowing my fertility health meant I had no fear and had all my options available.

Anna joined Celebs Go Dating in 2019, and has coached stars from Ulrika Jonsson and Pete Wicks to Vanessa Feltz and Ella Morgan. While many of the celebs are there to learn the healthy basics of choosing the right partner, she says the topic of having children is one of the most common she hears in her private therapist work.

Anna’s advice to people is clear: talk about it early and honestly, based on her experience, coaching, and training. She says it’s crucial to figure out what their needs are versus what they want, which I tell a lot of clients. Is becoming a parent a need or a desire given that we only have one chance at life?

“If there is a same-sex couple, it’s crucial for the woman to be aware of what she wants and what options she has, and that needs to be shared between the couple.

Because “the rest of our relationship is good,” I see couples having those difficult conversations. However, those crucial discussions are what are most important for dictating your future. Heartbreak should be avoided as soon as possible because it will happen if it does.

Anna claims that she’s seen far too many “fed bull***t” in particular because their partners weren’t completely transparent about having children or didn’t go into enough detail about having children.

Anna is currently working with assisted reproductive technology provider FutureLife and healthcare firm CooperSurgical on their Let’s Talk Fertility campaign, which tackles what she feels are worrying statistics.

According to research, over a third of UK adults see fertility as an “uncomfortable” topic of conversation, and almost half think fertility education should be taught in schools to address that. One person who is about to shine a very bright spotlight on the subject is 44-year-old reality star Gemma Collins.

The former TOWIE favourite, who also took part in Celebs Go Dating back in 2020, announced recently that she’s making an eight-part documentary titled Gemma Collins: Four Weddings And A Baby, as she plans her wedding to fiancé Rami Hawash and takes the first steps towards “starting a family”.

Anna claims Gemma’s sharing of her experience earns her nothing but respect. She says, “You don’t enter any fertility treatment lightly.” Anybody going down that path, regardless of age, should be respected for it because of the financial considerations involved with it as well as the emotional, physical, and psychological challenges that come with them.

There is a lot of stigma attached to fertility at 40, and it just isn’t appropriate. “I really appreciate the fact that she’s putting a spotlight on it. I sincerely wish her the best of luck.

After giving birth to Vincenzo, the first child of her and Alex’s, Anna returned for another fertility test before conceiving her fifth child, Eleanora. She had additional tests last year, so let’s see where she stands with the possibility of a third child.

“I was told that my eggs would probably be dust by now, but I was actually told that I had very good fertility.” Therefore, I could have looked into fertility treatments, possibly creating an embryo, or something else if I did want another baby last year. Even at the age of 44, I still feel very confident knowing where I’m at.

Anna serves as the campaign’s official spokesperson in collaboration with CooperSurgical and FutureLife.

‘Katie Price and Kerry Katona’s show was a terrifying experience – but I’d go again’

It’s not an easy job for a journalist to sit in the audience while Katie Price and Kerry Katona discuss their issues with the media, but Zoe Delaney would enjoy doing it once more.

When I remember taking my NCTJ exams more than I can recall, my tutor said working as a journalist would frequently necessitate bravery and occasionally put one in danger.

He was not watching those who would spend a Saturday night watching Katie Price and Kerry Katona chat on stage in a Lancashire seaside town, but rather watching students who wanted to pursue careers as war correspondents or find out about establishment ties.

However, watching the showbiz veterans explain how the media can occasionally treat them unfairly in front of a crowd that made it clear their ride or die for their idols while sitting in the audience of Marine Hall in Fleetwood made it very much feel like being on the frontlines.

However, once I realized I was encircled by Kerry and Katie’s stans and stopped worrying that I would be exposed as a sniveling reporter, I actually had a good time.

There was plenty to talk about between Kerry and Katie, who have been a household name for almost three decades and have a whopping 13 autobiographies together.

Kerry, who was quick-witted and self-aggrandizing, undoubtedly took the lead on the tour’s opening night. The mother-of-five made fun of her frequently turbulent love life while also expressing her sincere concerns about her mental health issues. It’s obvious Kerry uses humor as a defense mechanism, much to the delight of the audience, who was laughing all the way through, and it’s certainly a talent to speak so openly about traumatic events without ruining the “Hen Do” vibe in the room.

Katie also addressed Peter Andre’s management team and her struggles with mental health. The reality TV star opened both acts while serenading the audience after returning from the iTunes Charts.

Fans of Katie herself would admit that she lacks the vocals of a Grammy-winning singer, but Katie is more than happy to oblige. They only want to see their idol having fun on stage.

Over the years, I’ve attended numerous celebrity talks and “A Nighting With” events, which are often well-planned and boring affairs.

Given how frequently Ryan Reynolds and Rob Delaney criticized his numerous business ventures, sitting inside The O2 made me feel like I had unintentionally entered the wrong conference room in a hotel and was being pressured into buying a timeshare when I watched him speak with him for the Just For Laughs festival in 2023.

I finally had an excuse to leave when I received a message letting me know my dear grandad had passed away during the supposed comedy event. It was almost comforting.

I wasn’t anticipating that anyone I knew would pop their clogs while I was watching Kerry and Katie on stage. They may not possess the Hollywood star power or the bank balances that Marvel investors have, but they do possess a better understanding of what their supporters want.

What do their supporters want, then? A cup of tea and a laugh. And there’s no denying that Katie and Kerry have tea to spill.
