Stacey’s exact coat was this Textured Double Breasted Coat from The White Company (The White Company)

Though Stacey did not reveal to the many eager followers to snatch up her enviable coat where they could shop the look, we think we’ve found the exact item that captured fans’ hearts. Stacey appeared in this Textured Double Breasted Coat from The White Company that would normally retail for a steep £330. However, this item has nearly sold out completely due to its high popularity.

If you act fast, you can still bag this stylish and winter-ready number in size 16 directly from The White Company for the reduced price of £198 or in sizes 16 and 18 from Selfridges for £231.

Stacey’s fans beamed about the look, taking to her Instagram comments section to write: “Love that you look so glam for fishing and chose all cream! ” Another follower gushed: “So in love with your coat. Can I ask where it is from, please? “

Another commenter gave more accolades, saying, “Very glamorous, new fishing wear. ” Another fan noted, “GORG coat! ! “

If your size has already sold out of Stacey’s White Company ensemble, fret not. We’ve found the perfect alternative for £250 less than the real thing without sacrificing any of Stacey’s sophisticated and timeless style.

Oversized bouclé long coat
This Oversized bouclé long coat from Mango is £250 cheaper than Stacey’s coat (Mango)

Available for £79. 99, Stacey’s fan can match her fishing attire with this Oversized bouclé long coat in the same chic cream shade from Mango. This elegant item remains in stock in all sizes, spanning XS to L, and boasts a similarly understated design.

This Mango lookalike matches Stacey’s look and offers a similar lapel collar and V-neck design for a classic and versatile finish.

This affordable option also comes with a comfy inner lining and is set to keep you looking fabulous and feeling toasty, whether you’re out on a fishing trip of your own or just heading out for dinner.

For more affordable options, Cider offers its own Fleece Double-Breasted Coat, currently available for £48, down from £60.

Vernon Kay admits ‘I’ve had a few complaints’ from BBC Radio 2 colleagues

Vernon Kay has cheekily addressed some light-hearted “complaints” from his BBC Radio 2 team. Since taking over the much-loved mid-morning slot in May 2023, originally helmed by radio legend Ken Bruce, Vernon has made the studio very much his own.

On Thursday’s show, he shared with listeners his preference for a brighter work environment. Vernon joked on air: “Everyone’s in a giddy mood this morning in the studio. Feeling fine. I’ve had a few complaints from the team for putting up the studio lights. “

He continued, revealing his fondness for keeping things well-lit during the day: “There are some Radio 2 DJs who like it really dark. I like it really bright because I like to get a sense of the fact that it is daytime.

“I don’t want to use a torch to look at what is coming up on the show. I like it nice and bright and fresh. “

Not missing a beat for a bit of humour, he quipped: “It would be nice if one of these was a little bit UV so I could get a tan at the same time, tanning indoors,” reports the Manchester Evening News.

Vernon’s studio preferences have been a point of banter before. Back in November, he ribbed Radio One presenter Greg James on-air after discovering someone had been tampering with his setup, leaving behind Radio One microphone covers.

The doting dad-of-two didn’t hesitate then to pin the blame on Greg, telling his audience with a laugh that he’d “just blame Greg James”.

The incident sparked accusations that Vernon was “insulting” his colleague. However, Vernon stood his ground and confronted Greg on live radio, saying: “Can you have a word with your team? It’s a disgrace. “

Greg denied the allegations, stating: “It’s not me Vern, I’ve checked and it’s not them either. I’ve checked everyone. “

Vernon responded by describing the state of the studio as “like a children’s playroom”, but insisted he “wasn’t having a pop”. This led Greg to comment that Vernon had “changed” but still had a “Radio One heart”.

Vernon hosted shows on Radio One from 2004 to 2012, before being replaced by Matt Edmondson. After a stint on Radio X, he returned to the BBC in 2021, initially covering Rylan Clark’s Saturday slot.

In addition to his radio work, Vernon has enjoyed a successful TV career, hosting programmes like All Star Family Fortunes, T4, and Formula E. He is married to Strictly Come Dancing’s Tess Daly and finished third on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! in 2020, behind winner Giovanna Fletcher and runner-up Jordan North.

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury’s cosy reunion for Bambi’s birthday amid split stunt claims

Influencer Molly-Mae Hague and her on-off fiancée Tommy Fury looked very cosy as the were pictured in a reunion amid claims their split was a ‘publicity stunt’.

The couple who found fame on Love Island back in 2019, eventually finishing in second place have been surrounded by speculation that their decision to split in August was merely a publicity stunt. At the time, Molly-Mae was preparing to launch her clothing brand, Maebe and it later transpired that she was filming her own Amazon Prime series.

Meanwhile, boxer Tommy was gearing up for the release of his autobiography. At the time, Molly-Mae refused to comment on the reason behind their split, despite hundreds of posts on social media speculating that Tommy had been unfaithful – a claim which he has strongly denied and has since been proven to be untrue.

Earlier this month, we revealed that Molly-Mae and Tommy had been secretly “rekindling” their relationship, five months after announcing their split. Friends told us that they had been left confused after the reality star spoke of the hardships she’s faced as a single mum.

But now it appears that the couple have put any bad blood behind them, as they were all smiles when reuniting for their daughter Bambi’s second birthday celebrations. In the photos Tommy, 25, was seen arriving at the home he once shared with Molly-Mae, also 25. The sportsman arrived at the Cheshire property to film scenes for a currently unknown show, although it is likely to be part of Molly-Mae’s Amazon series.

As Tommy arrived at the pad, Molly emerged in her pyjamas, carrying Bambi on the eve of her birthday. But they were all smiles as Bambi’s face instantly lit up when the tot saw her father. The pair have attempted to downplay their romance starting again – but many have been quick to flock to social media to share their own views.

One fan said on social media: “It’s probably a soft launch expect to see more snippets of him before the official announcement. ” “I also think they’re definitely back together and it will be announced in the last episode of her Amazon prime series,” added a second. Currently, the final three episodes of Molly’s series are being filmed, after the first part was released last week.

However, she has used the platform to furiously deny that she and Tommy staged their break up in order to gain more publicity. Speaking to MailOnline, Molly-Mae said: “I actually say in the documentary that I wish it was a publicity stunt because it would have been a lot easier… That for me above everything has been the most frustrating part.

“Because going through all of this with the turmoil of a breakup has been incredibly hard. To have those comments and I do see the comments, I see all of them, and people saying ‘This has obviously just been done for the launch of her brand or a publicity stunt’ that is very painful to read because it’s real life.

“Tommy and I have a baby together and it’s very, very real. It’s a really hard thing that we have both gone through the past six months. I wish it was a publicity stunt because it would have been a lot easier, but it isn’t, and I think this documentary will clear up any questions of that. “

J-Pop Star Nakai To Retire After Sexual Misconduct Allegations

One of Japan’s best-known pop stars and TV hosts announced his retirement Thursday after sexual misconduct allegations, in the latest scandal to rock the country’s entertainment industry.

Masahiro Nakai’s move comes after now-defunct boy band empire Johnny & Associates admitted in 2023 that its late founder Johnny Kitagawa for decades sexually assaulted teenage boys and young men.

Nakai, 52, was a member of the now-disbanded SMAP — part of Johnny & Associates’s stable — that swept the charts across Asia during the band’s nearly 30 years of fame.

Reports emerged last month that Nakai, a successful television host, had paid an unnamed woman a lump sum of 90 million yen ($570,000).

This followed what tabloid magazine Shukan Bunshun called a “sexual act against her will” in 2023.

This month, Fuji Television suspended a weekly show hosted by Nakai, while other major networks also dropped the presenter.

On Thursday Nakai released a statement saying he was stepping back from show business altogether.

“I will continue to face up to all problems sincerely and respond in a wholehearted manner. I alone am responsible for everything,” Nakai said.

“I sincerely apologise” to the woman, he wrote, before concluding: “thank you for these past 37 years. Good bye”.

‘Outraged’

Nakai issued a statement published in local media earlier this month saying some of what had been reported was “different from the facts”.

His retirement stunned Japan, with three other former SMAP members telling local media they were “speechless”.

“I was shocked at the news, but I guess this (his retirement) is inevitable, from what we have seen in media,” said Naoko Mizui, 51, a shopper in Tokyo.

“I feel it would be difficult for him to continue working in the entertainment industry. It is sad, but we have to accept it,” she told AFP.

Fellow shopper Kaoru Kuno, 54, said she was “sad” but added: “As a woman, I feel bad. I have to say he treated women without respect. ”

Fuji Television has also come under fire over its handling of the affair, with dozens of top brands pulling adverts from the broadcaster.

On Thursday its shares were down 7. 8 percent.

Shukan Bunshun and other outlets have alleged a Fuji TV executive was involved in organising Nakai’s meeting with the woman.

Fuji TV has denied those claims but said last week it was probing the matter after a US activist investor said it was “outraged” by the company’s lack of transparency.

The broadcaster’s parent company Fuji Media Holdings decided Thursday to establish a third-party enquiry as per the Japanese bar association’s guidelines.

The announcement came after it convened an emergency board meeting where participants voiced “harsh criticism” over the broadcaster’s handling of the matter, president Osamu Kanemitsu told reporters.

Drinking parties

The case also shone the spotlight on other TV channels, with local media reporting that dinners and drinking parties involving celebrities and young women were common practice.

Other TV channels including Nippon TV have announced their own investigations into whether similar events between celebrities and women had been organised.

The incident will “hopefully serve as an opportunity for TV stations to rethink how they make shows”, Takahiko Kageyama, a media studies professor at Doshisha Women’s College of Liberal Arts, told AFP.

“If women were being treated not as equal human beings but as some kind of lubricant to facilitate the making of TV programmes, it’s time they stopped this kind of practice,” he said.

Denunciations

Music mogul Kitagawa, who died aged 87 in 2019, had for decades sexually assaulted teenage boys and young men seeking stardom, his agency finally acknowledged in 2023.

Allegations about him swirled for decades but it was not until that year that they ignited calls for compensation following a BBC documentary and denunciations by victims.

Japan’s showbiz industry was then rocked by another bombshell sexual assault scandal involving Hitoshi Matsumoto, one of the country’s most popular comedians.

In November, Matsumoto said he was withdrawing a libel case against the Shukan Bunshun magazine that published the allegations, including that he forced oral sex on one woman, and forcibly kissed another.
