Twiggy, a model, claims her northern father and keeping her slim and off drugs kept her.

Twiggy, real name Lesley Hornby, became a sensation at 16 after a photo of her with a new, cropped hairstyle was shown in a London hairdresser’s window. She has a “waif” look that has always drawn criticism in recent interviews, but she claims it is not because she is trying to lose weight but that her tooth hurts.

She continued, “It’s annoying because I have this perception that slimness is superior to everything else. I’ve even been blamed for promoting anorexia, and it’s all such rubbish! The only thing I have to wonder about these weight-loss medications is how long-term side effects side effects side effects side effects side. However, if they work, they do. At least I don’t feel as though I’m in the same firing line as I did when I used to in the skinny debate.

” I eat like a horse. Always have done. My family was a thin Northerner, and my genes are the same. Food is something I love but it bothers me.

The model was speaking with You magazine to promote Sadie Frost’s upcoming full-length documentary Twiggy, which is scheduled to be released next month.

It will show how she burst onto the modelling scene as a teenager, being on the cover of US Vogue aged 17 and earning around £1, 500 a day – which is £14, 500 in today’s money). She then pursued a career in singing and acting. She claimed that she was “so proud” of her parents, Nell, and Norman, when they were recognized as Dames in 2019.

Asked whether she was ever tempted to join in with the sex and drugs of the 60s she added:” No, that’s my dad’s influence. He was from Bolton, Lancashire. A lovely man. Steady, reliable and always family first. I’m the same. I’ve seen a lot of people turn out of control as a result of their fame, but I wanted to be there and enjoy it.

Twiggy has also co-authored 17 collections with Marks & Spencer, participated in a lucrative partnership with Home Shopping Network in the US from 2005 to 2008, and was a judge on America’s Next Top Model from 2005 to 2008.

She is married to actor and director Leigh Lawson and their family is made up of Leigh’s son Jason, 48, from his relationship with Hayley Mills, her daughter Carly, 46, and their combined five grandchildren. She now enjoys working as much as her family at age 75. Twiggy said:” Carly and Jason have grown up like brother and sister.

“I don’t think there is any better feeling than a four-year-old charging through the school gates and crashing into your knees shouting, ‘ I’m hungry! ‘ I absolutely love being a granny”.

* Twiggy will be available in some theaters starting on March 7.

Following his appearance on the pitch at the most recent Six Nations game, Sir Chris Hoy caused a stir among the fans.

Numerous games have already been played as a result of the rugby union championship’s return last month. Scotland and Ireland have been playing at Murrayfield Stadium in Edinburgh on Sunday afternoon as part of the second round. Ahead of kick-off, former track cyclist Chris, 48, headed onto the pitch at the stadium to deliver the match ball. The audience greeted the Olympic gold medalist with enthusiastic applause because he was from Murrayfield, in the city.

Fans praised Chris and joked about how emotional they were after seeing his posts on X. One person wrote: “Chris Hoy is one of the all time greats. Had a wee year in my eye there”. Another said they had “goosebumps”. A third viewer said: “Found Sir Chris Hoy bringing on the match ball today so emotional”. Following his brief appearance, someone wrote on the platform, “Very emotional watching Sir Chris Hoy deliver the match day ball. What a legend”.

One viewer’s reaction: “Many tears in people’s eyes, including mine seeing Sir Chris Hoy throwing the match ball into the Murrayfield pitch.” Others wrote about Chris whilst discussing Scotland’s anthem, Flower of Scotland, being played before the match began on the weekend.

One fan remarked, “Always gets me going and then Chris Hoy delivering the match ball has totally set me off,” in addition to a crying emoji. “I’m not a huge rugby fan, but Chris Hoy made me cry while the national anthem caused me to cry.” What a man]Chris] is and what a nation we are #Scotland”.

Chris made an announcement at the match on Sunday that he had been diagnosed with cancer in 2023 in February of last year. He wrote in a post at the time: “Last year I was diagnosed with cancer, which came as a huge shock, having had no symptoms up to that point”.

He added, “I’m currently receiving treatment, including chemotherapy, which thankfully is going really well. I want to thank all the medical professionals for their amazing assistance and care.

The former racing driver – who said he was “optimistic, positive and surrounded by love” – has since raised awareness of prostate cancer. Then in October, it was announced that he had been diagnosed with terminal cancer, with him said to have been given “two to four years” to live. As reported at the time, doctors said that his cancer, which had spread, was stage four and incurable. Later, Chris later said at the end of last year that he is “doing well” and “not in any pain at all.”

Jack Fincham admitted to being “dreadfully unwell” at the time of filming the ITV show Dinner Date while he was taking drugs and was recalled.

After biting two people and injuring one person, the former Love Island star recently found himself in legal trouble. He was given a six-week jail term. Jack has admitted to making TV appearances while he was high or withdrawn from drugs as a result of his legal woes.

“The other day, I watched a Dinner Date episode and realized how awfully unwell I was. I looked awful. I don’t know what I was even doing on TV”, he said in a new interview.

Jack is currently dating former TOWIE star Chloe Brockett, but he originally wanted to get married on Dinner Date in 2021.

Jack’s difficult first few years since taking the stage at Love Island in 2018, where he and ex-girlfriend Dani Dyer won the show, are revealed in the new interview with The Sun. After the villa stint, the pair abruptly split and didn’t survive the distance on the outside.

Jack admitted to trying to kill himself while taking a short break with Chloe in a West Midlands country hotel while also talking about struggling with his mental health in the interview. After realizing he had 30 TV shows, he went on IMDB and said he “had nothing to show for this.”

“I’d had the world at my feet, but the addictions destroyed everything”, he explained. He lost 1 million followers on social media, which he described was a “horrible feeling”. While spiralling with his thoughts, he ordered “sambucas, prosecco, five vodkas at a time”, before he started gambling on his phone.

However, he thought he ‘ lost his last penny ‘ while being ‘ off his head ‘ and gambling online. Thinking he had nothing to his name, he said to himself: “I don’t want to be here anymore, I’ve had enough. I am a f***ing loser”. His girlfriend eluded the reception and called the ambulance because she was afraid that he would end his life. She then pleaded with the staff to stop serving him drinks.

According to reports, Spotify employees gave Prince Harry and Meghan Markle vile nicknames.

According to legend, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s secret moniker was the creation of angry former employees who had a successful £18 million deal with the streaming giant when their podcast Archetypes was dropped in June 2023 after just one series.

Although the 43-year-old Meghan hosted the podcast, which featured guests like Mariah Carey, Serena Williams, and Paris Hilton, it was decided not to make a second series in a blow to the former royals.

Former Spotify employees who worked with Meghan on the show now claim to have provided a “warning signal” that she was “arriving or on the warpath” according to UK royal correspondent Neil Sean. He said: “Ex-staff members told me they decided to christen her ‘ Eva. ‘”

He explained to Fox News: “This wasn’t an engaging pet nickname. The nickname came from the 1955 camp classic ‘ Queen Bee ‘ starring the ultimate diva herself – Joan Crawford…This is because, like the Joan character]Eva Phillips], she stung her victims to pieces. This is exactly how staff felt about working alongside]Meghan]”.

The movie’s synopsis states that it is about “a socialite who manipulates everyone around her, only to ruin their lives.” Meghan had no idea what the nickname she had been given while producing the podcast, according to the source.

Additionally, Neil claimed that Meghan’s “mood swings” caused them to be “extremely difficult to deal with” behind the scenes and that they thought she was “quite tough and bossy.” Meghan also claimed that she only wanted to talk to “the person at the top” while working on the show with other employees.

And though she started out as “warm and effusive”, whenever something went wrong “often due to Meghan and Harry’s own demands”, it’s claimed Meghan would become “cold and withholding towards the person she perceived to be responsible”, according to Neil’s source. He says he was told: “At the beginning people were beguiled by Meghan’s presence. But as she grew more demanding, she was obviously forgetting her days as a struggling actress.

And it wasn’t only Meghan that was given a nickname. In reference to the 1990s British comedy character in Harry Enfield &amp, Chums, Neil claimed that her husband Prince Harry was known as “Timothy-But-Dim.” Tim, who is renowned for his endearing but clueless personality, was supposed to represent “low attainers from an affluent background” and possessed the catchphrase “bloody nice bloke!”

The iconic character is played by Harry Enfield, who also plays Prince Charles in Channel 4 parody series about the royals, The Windsors. For comment on this story, The Mirror reached out to Spotify and Harry and Meghan’s reps.

Finding the scent that makes you feel amazing can be challenging because there are currently so many options. But if there’s one brand currently dominating our fragrance radar — and every influencer’s vanity — it’s Kayali.

The female-founded perfume brand, launched in 2018 by Mona Kattan as the fragrance arm of Huda Beauty, has built a cult following for its modern, playful and downright addictive scents. If you haven’t yet experienced them, think sweet marshmallows, creamy vanilla and pistachio-filled desserts — fragrances that smell good enough to eat, basically.

Now, Kayali has expanded into body mists, offering a lighter, more wearable take on three of its best-loved perfumes: vanilla, pistachio, and cherry. Naturally, the Mirror beauty team had to test these $39 shits to see if they lived up to the hype.

Would they live up to expectations? Find out below.

Lauren on Kayali’s Vanilla 28 Spray

Despite hearing endless hype about Kayali’s viral perfumes, I’ll admit — this is my first venture into the brand. When I learned about the launch of the Vanilla 28 body mist, I knew it was time to get started because I’ve always been fascinated by the sweet, dessert-like scents that seem to have taken over TikTok.

From the first spritz, it’s pure dessert bliss, with buttery vanilla and almond notes creating a comforting, warm aroma. However, what surprised me most was how balanced it felt — sweet but not overpowering. Although I tend to prefer rich, deep fragrances over purely sugary ones, I was initially skeptical because of how wearable and sophisticated this is rather than sick.

How simple it is to layer makes this mist one of my favorites. I love mixing my perfumes, and I’ve found the Vanilla 28 pairs beautifully with Beauty Pie’s Le Smash Santal, a complex blend of tonka bean and sandalwood. Ideal for day-to-night wear, the combination creates a warm, woody vanilla mix that feels cozy and elevated.

The scent, which is lighter than a traditional perfume, still lingers on my clothes and scarf throughout the day (and afterward) despite how long it lasts. One last spritz before I leave the house ensures that I smell delicious for hours. It has become my go-to finishing touch before I leave.

For $ 39, purchase the Kayali spray.

Tiffany on Kayali’s Yum Pistachio Gelato Spray

It’s not uncommon for me to find a perfume that is food-inspired and that isn’t new enough to purchase. However, to all of my friends who know me, I am a huge fan of pistachios and their gelato flavor. The scent of Kayali’s new Yum Pistachio Gelato All Over Body Spray is this.

The body spray is ideal for every situation, whether you’re starting your day, applying it after working out, or needing to smell good on a special occasion. This aluminum has a long-lasting scent. Other than hints of pistachio, it delivers notes of bergamot, sweet rum, hazelnut, cotton cream, whipped cream and marshmallow.

The spray has a weak nozzle, but overall, I think this is a good product. It’ll be interesting to see if the company develops a mini-size in the future for travel.

For something similar, Sol de Janeiro’s classic Cheirosa 62 Hair &amp, Body Mist is now reduced to £20.40 on Amazon. The Brazilian-inspired mist has pistachio, vanilla and salted caramel notes, delivering a full burst of sweet flavours for a tropical scent.

For $ 39, purchase the Kayali spray.

Melisha on Kayali’s Lovefest Burning Cherry 48 Spray

Cherry perfumes really started to take off last year, and the seductive scent is still popular today. Smokey and seductive, Kayali’s Lovefest Burning Cherry 48 was what led me to ditch the much-pricier Tom Ford Lost Cherry – it’s now my go-to.

When I learned that the brand had a body spray version, it was soothing to my ears. This new mist delivers the warm, spicy notes of its namesake, as well as hints of raspberry, praline and jasmine.

My favorite sultry scent is softly layered in the body spray, making it ideal to pair with another fragrance or wear alone. Not only does it come in a generous 125ml bottle, but it means you can save £34 compared to buying the Eau de Parfum, which costs £73 for 50ml.

For $ 39, purchase the Kayali spray.
