She asked her followers how she is supposed to deal with the pain of losing Diego, confessing: “It feels so empty]the home]. When you jump on my bed, I just want to feel the thump. I haven’t left my bed. I can’t stop screaming and crying. How could this ever be explained to me? And go on as normal? You were too young. Too hearty and love-filled. I’m sorry I couldn’t do more”.

Her support messages were quickly received by her supporters. One user wrote: “Awh Sacha I’m so sorry. Everything you’re feeling is so so valid – it’s so hard to lose an animal.

After being asked what he ate while he was in the jungle, Alan later claimed that he received special care for his meals, which were never made public.

Alan, who has been part of Coronation Street since 1998, is one of the soap’s most recognized stars. A loyal fan base has come to him thanks to his portrayal of Tyrone, a character who has gone through significant personal growth over the years. While on I’m a Celebrity, Alan reflected on the experience, sharing that it was not what he expected, but he formed strong friendships with the other contestants

Despite his exit, Alan’s time in the jungle was well-received, and he had previously expressed his support for other contestants, including Danny Jones

Outside of TV, Alan has a daughter, Sienna, with his ex-wife Lucy-Jo Hudson. In 2005, the two met on Coronation Street’s set. Earlier today, Alan reunited with Sienna after flying home from Australia.

When he was on the way back home from Oz, Alan mentioned how much his daughter, 11, and former Coronation Street actress Lucy-Jo Hudson, both 11, were missing. Taking to his Instagram Q&amp, A, he admitted it was “impossible put into words” how excited he was to see Sienna-Rae.

The Tyrone Dobbs actor also mentioned how much his daughter would miss him if I’m a Celeb was thrown in. Speaking to his fellow campmates, he touched on how the 11-year-old reacted to him going on the show, admitting: “That’s going to be really difficult. She has found the idea of me going difficult. She has only recently begun to accept the idea after roughly two weeks.

We never travel more than two weeks apart. It will be interesting to see how I cope because I’m sensitive to Siena. I usually try to hide my emotions, but with Siena, I’ll have a few blubs. She is 11 and so I’m hoping I won’t embarrass her. “

Katie Price insists being a presenter on Loose Women was a ‘dark time’ for her after savage dig

Katie Price has acknowledged that she had “dark times” going on and that she would never return if asked.

The former glamour model, who was experiencing significant change in her private life between 2015 and 2018, was a panelist on the ITV lunchtime chat show. Mum-of-five Katie, who has previously said she felt like a “performing seal” during her time on the ITV show, has revisited her experience on James Phelan’s podcast How To Be Famous.

According to Katie, who is a nephew of Paul Daniels and magician Phelan, “I don’t get a good feeling in my belly when I think of me on Loose Women.” Because I look at it and think, “No, that was dark times for me,” I don’t have a positive stomach reaction to Loose Women.

So, I would say “No thank you,” if they ever asked me to do it. “Katie, 42, added:” Yeah so to not against the girls or anyone, its I just don’t want to do it. “

Katie acknowledged on Loose Women (ITV) that she had a mental illness.

Katie has spoken previously about the effects of working on Loose Women, saying she felt like the show “let her perform like a seal” when she wasn’t mentally well.

Speaking with Annie Macmanus on her Changes podcast, Katie said in 2021:” I was doing Loose Women for two years. It makes me feel ill when I look back at that. Because those two years were bad – bad, bad, mentally. Bad bad bad. But I kept up the bravery and went out there. I look at it and think, ‘ Oh my god’. Because of the drama, I look at it and think I look dead in the eyes.

She added:” I feel like saying to them: ‘ You had me on your show when I was at my illest. But now I am fresh you wouldn’t offer me that back again. I am not saying they wouldn’t but they wouldn’t at the minute. And I feel like saying. This is me now. You’ll get the best out of me now.

“You had me at my worst. You had me when I was actually experiencing it. Which is weird because some people wouldn’t have you on the show like: ‘ No you are not well enough’. In fact I wasn’t well. Despite my lack of health, I managed to perform like a seal.

“I was afraid to (tell anyone)”, Katue added. “I would just brush it off,” she said. I am fine. Look, this has occurred once more. I would always arrive with a different drama every morning during our morning meetings. They were like: ‘ Oh my god Kate, it’s just exhausting. ‘ And I would sit there thinking. I know. Can’t one of you just say: ‘ Kate are you alright? ‘ I’m trying to say, “Can someone please check if I’m alright?”

Maura Higgins speaks out on Pete Wicks reunion in telling confession

Maura Higgins has confessed to Pete Wicks that she wants to reunite with her after her time in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

Prior to this weekend’s final, the former TOWIE man was learning how to move on the Strictly dance floor while the Irish former Love Islander was staying at camp Down Under. Now, Maura has admitted she “misses” her fellow reality TV star.

However, she giggled as she tried to tone down the admission. After her jungle exit, Alison Hammond immediately emailed her about the potential budding romance.

The reality star joked, “It didn’t take it long to ask you that question, did it?” after Alison’s question about Pete.

Pete was competing with Jowita on Strictly (@p_wicks01/Instagram)

She went on: “Do you know what, you forget about the cameras, I do like to keep things private. I said I miss him, I do miss him..”. She then giggled as she added: “Like I miss all my friends and family”.

Before committing to a romance, Maura admitted to being a close friend of Pete for five years in the I’m A Celeb camp. It came as speculation continued to grow around the pair’s coupling. Maura had been asked by O’Mabuse what had changed so she could accept the reality TV star’s advances. She simply responded: “He wouldn’t give up”, before she revealed she took a group of friends with her on the pair’s first date.

She continued to tell Oti, “I actually brought my friends with me and I was like, “See it’s a friendship date. ” The pair continued on a date after spending a raunchy night out with her mates by sharing oysters and wine. Prior to her jungle experience, they were later sitting together while kissing at the Pride of Britain Awards in October.

After leaving the jungle, Maura had left a kind message for Pete. He was still competing for a spot in the BBC dance competition at the time. She shared on Instagram a post saying: “Go on @pete_Wicks01!! Let’s get them to the final”. She then posted a link to “Vote Powita” asking her followers to vote for him and his partner Jowita Przystal.

Pete has also indicated that he is ready to settle down, even though the pair have yet to officially declare their relationship. Pete claimed that he had previously struggled to maintain long-term relationships when he spoke with Olivia Attwood on her Staying Relevant podcast. Explaining his current feelings, Pete revealed: “I do feel like I’m now at a different stage of my life. I’m a complete p***k and an older man than I was when I was younger.

Coleen Rooney lands first major deal post I’m A Celeb – and it’s set to make her millions

Coleen Rooney finished as the runner-up in the 2024 season of I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here!, coming second behind Danny.

Before entering the jungle, she secured a lucrative deal with wellness brand Applied Nutrition, known for its health supplements. In January, the wife of former football player Wayne Rooney is expected to launch her own product line with the company, which experts predict will significantly increase her finances.

Sources revealed Coleen cleverly brought the brand’s hair, skin, and nails capsules with her into the jungle as part of the partnership. A source told The Sun: “Coleen was definitely taking the hair, skin &amp, nails collagen capsules every day in the jungle. Even after weeks of grueling trials, she was consistently glowing, and there was a lot of positive social media buzz about how amazing she looked.

People are claiming that the Applied Nutrition products she was using were to blame for the huge increase in interest, they continued. I’m A Celebrity viewers have been left breathless by Coleen Rooney’s ability to maintain her skin’s freshness and flawless appearance after days of grueling bush tucker trials and sleepless nights in the Australian outback.

Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, to praise her flawless complexion, one user wrote:” Very jealous of Coleen Rooney to be in a jungle for 3 weeks and still have an amazing skin complexion. “

Another person said, “I’m sorry, but how does Coleen Rooney get her skin to glow that way. The most crystal-clear skin I’ve seen on television is written by “A third writer,” Coleen Rooney said. “A fourth added:” Coleen Rooney’s skin is perfect, “while a fifth penned:” Dreaming of having skin like Coleen Rooney. “

Collagen-rich beauty supplements Coleen reportedly popped in the jungle are. Coleen, who is known to maintain skin’s hydration and suppleness, so much that she even invested in the Applied Nutrition pills (£19.95) before traveling to Australia to spend some time in the jungle.

In September, Coleen agreed to take over as brand’s face. Since then, she has been acquitted of holding the position of lead female ambassador for Applied Nutrition, and she recently unveiled a massive billboard in central London to promote her new position in preparation for her I-am-a-celebrity appearance.

In her new position, Coleen will be using Applied Nutrition’s sought-after products, including collagen, diet whey protein, protein bars, vitamins, and minerals”. Balancing my role as a mum and managing my personal life can be challenging, but it’s important for me to stay healthy and energised, “Coleen stated.

I’ve always had a desire to look after myself, and Applied Nutrition has impressed me with their products’ quality. The star said when her new role was revealed in September that “the collagen and the diet whey protein really make a difference and something I’m using at home, in the gym, or just enjoying my regular Reformer Pilates sessions.”

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s ‘marriage makeover’ as they try to get ‘back to what they were’

Although it’s almost Christmas, a certain royal and his wife might experience a momentous moment when the festivities come to an end and life resumes. Five years ago, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, both former Suits actresses, abruptly left their positions as senior royal family members and moved to California.

In more ways than one way, the anniversary might signal a significant reset for the couple and their young family. Meghan and Harry left the royals in January, and while they claim it was the wisest choice, there is no disputing that it has been very difficult and stressful for them at times, which has frequently led to their brink, the source claimed in OK!. Five years is a long time, and there has been a lot of pressure on them to succeed because so much has changed since they left.

According to a source, they want to “marriage makeover” themselves (Archewell Foundation via Getty Images).

Harry recently jokingly mentioned that there is still a lot of pressure from his family back home in the United Kingdom, and that pressure is probably due to the persistent rumors about an imminent divorce. Our source claims that the famous couple have chosen to devote more time to their marriage and give it a bit of a makeover as they approach the new year. This is a time for reflection and change for many.

They are using this time to figure out what they really want, put more effort into their union, and give it some personality makeover. They acknowledge that their relationship occasionally suffers as a result of their overwork and children’s activities, but having seen what they have accomplished over the past ten years, they have come to terms with their desire to return to their former self, which necessitates work.

When the couple stepped aside from their royal duties, they realized that their future lay elsewhere in America, where Prince Archie, 5, and Princess Lillibet, 3, live together. And while their setup in their £11 million mansion seems idyllic, especially with Doria, Meghan’s mother, nearby to lend a helping hand to the kids and offer moral support, it hasn’t always seemed like the Californian dream they may have desired.

Meghan was reportedly felt betrayed by neighbours of the couple’s recent controversial German documentary Harry – The Lost Prince, who claimed she had been “isoled” herself, had not gotten involved with the local area, and had remained aloof. However, given she and Harry have publicly declared their wish and need for privacy, particularly for their young children, it’s perhaps understandable. Our source claims the couple has now decided it’s time to make some fun of their lives and has put in some rules to ensure it does.

“Meghan was concerned that Harry would regret emigrating to America, but she is confident that he will stay there long, despite the difficulty of his adjustment. And they now want to have more fun together”, the source said. Now that the kids are a little older, they have promised to have more date nights and weekend getaways together. And they’re going to be as open-minded as they can, making more couple friends.

The couple appear to lack family support over the pond, especially given that Meghan is separated from her father Tomas and half-sister Samantha, according to a source who added: “They both want to make friends who feel like family and finally feel they can work out who is genuine.

The couple also expressed interest in using the property they recently purchased in Portugal to expand their horizons and bring their children to Europe. The yet-to-be-constructed home in the small town of Melides was widely believed to be a possible extension of their UK royal relatives, who have rarely been seen since making outrageous allegations of how they were treated while working for the royal family.

“They also want to do more family trips to Europe and stay at their home in Portugal, which might even result in a reconciliation with Harry’s family, eventually. However, they have made the commitment to prioritize their families and put themselves before each other.

Meghan Markle on red carpet

Meghan, 43, once likened herself and her husband to salt and pepper as they always “move together”. Harry and Meghan haven’t been seen together in public since their joint tour of Columbia in the summer, despite the fact that there hasn’t been a lack of sightings of them and they’ve both been photographed enjoying themselves on a red carpet or stage.

Even more talk of them living separate lives has been fueled by their respective schedules, but our source claims that even “as the gaps have started to show,” the rumors should be taken with a lot of salt. They are starting to live more apart lives as they separate from one another, which has caused some problems.

They appear to have been living more apart from one another, and they may continue to do so in their careers, but I personally want to spend more time with them because, like any couple who are parents and have busy lives, they occasionally feel that there isn’t enough time for themselves as a couple.

Only time will tell whether 2025 will be as transformative for Harry and Meghan as a couple and their relationships with the outside world, the royals back in the UK included…
