Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs issues message to kids as they wish him happy birthday while he’s behind bars

Sean Combs’ children gathered to celebrate his birthday by spending the day behind bars.

The troubled music mogul was detained in September of this year after being accused of racketeering and sex trafficking, allegations that the singer furiously refuted. He was denied bail, and his trial is not anticipated to begin until May of next year, so he is expected to remain in jail.

The singer was in jail at Brooklyn’s Metropolitan Detention Center on Monday when she turned 55. The details of the food he was offered during his most recent year have already been revealed in a report that has already covered his revelry-filled past celebrations.

His children called him and wished him a happy birthday. The musician is dad to Quincy, 33, Justin, 30, Christian, 26, Chance, 18, twins D’Lila and Jessie, 17, and one-year-old Love. On Monday, Justin posted a video of the siblings eating a birthday cake in front of their father and their father.

Combs declares his love for his kids and declares he is looking forward to seeing them soon as they perform a rendition of Happy Birthday, which little Love led the sing-along while doing. Justin shared the clip along with a caption stating: “Happy Birthday Pops, we love you”! Some Justin’s followers reacted with a mixed reaction to the message because they were offended by the seriousness of the crimes his father is accused of. Others were sympathetic to the children’s situation, with one writing: “One thing he did was teach them to stick together”!

The troubled star’s children issued a statement of support for him after the accusations against him were made public in light of his arrest. They declared to People: “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media”.

They added: “We stand united, supporting you every step of the way. We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU &amp, LOVE YOU DAD. Quincy, Justin, Christian, Chance, Jessie &amp, D’Lila”. Combs has vehemently refuted the accusations he is facing.

His lawyer previously told the Mirror: “As Mr. Combs ‘ legal team has emphasized, he cannot address every meritless allegation in what has become a reckless media circus. Despite this, Mr. Combs categorically and without exception defame any claim that he sexually abused anyone, including minors. He looks forward to proving his innocence and vindicating himself in court, where the truth will be established based on evidence, not speculation”.

Married At First Sight UK stars Hannah and Orson have set tongues wagging, hinting they’re now a couple after their headline-making ‘ cheating ‘ drama.

Post-wedding blues hit Hannah hard during her rocky honeymoon with TV hubby Stephen, leading her to realise he wasn’t Mr Right. Meanwhile, Orson was hitting his own marital roadblocks with Richelle. However, as Hannah’s recent TikTok post shows Orson lifting her onto his shoulders in a playful display, it seems like love has grown elsewhere.

She sweetly captioned the video: “Always sweeping me off my feet”, adding an orange heart emoji and the hashtag “no regrets”. Fans of the pair are buzzing about this potential love story, with one saying, “Good for you to at least you will be happy together and not having people treat you like dirt.”

Another queried: “Is this soft launch”? while another supporter expressed joy: “I’m so glad you’ve both got each other. You now have someone who values them as individuals.

When they were spotted smoking a sneaky cigarette at the retreat, their romance raised eyebrows, according to OK!

After the original couples split at a fiery engagement ceremony, Hannah made no mince words online, hints at a potential reconciliation with Orson on the E4 show, and tells Stephen where to kiss. Hannah has been causing a lot of controversy on the show with her flirtatious behavior with other women’s partners and her conflicts with her husband Stephen. During a tense Commitment Ceremony, Lacey and Orson were criticized for sharing a kiss after becoming increasingly close during a retreat.

Orson admitted, “On the final night of the retreat, I and Hannah were chatting and kissing.” There was a small element of connection there. I’m not going to lie. What I had was done, I knew what she was in was done, so honestly I didn’t feel like I was walking on anybody’s toes or disrespecting anyone”.

Team Home were supporting the separation of Hannah and Stephen as Richelle and Orson walked away amid a flurry of verbal altercations. Tweets were abuzz with comments like: “Stephen you tried NOTHING”.

Another said: “Stephen has been gone for a few weeks already”, while someone else backed Hannah saying: “Hannah you deserve more better than Stephen”.

Some viewers reacted when Hannah and Stephen finally threw the towel. Drama heightened when Richelle, who’d previously teased the affair despite criticism online for her attitude, told Orson off about getting close to another bride, alluding to internet sleuths unearthing the truth eventually, saying, “People will see the truth. It’s a waiting game”.

BBC Strictly Come Dancing fans take issue with judges’ feedback to ‘undermarked’ star

Over the weekend, some Strictly Come Dancing fans expressed disapproval of the judges’ comments to EastEnders cast members Jamie Borthwick.

Jamie, 30, and his dance partner Michelle Tsiakkas, 29, performed a samba to the late George Michael’s Faith on Saturday night as part of the BBC show’s Icons Week. They received a combined score of 31 from the judges, which placed them towards the middle of the leaderboard.

Providing feedback, head judge Shirley Ballas, 64, said: “You hit all the technical elements that one would want to see and your shadow natural roll was really lovely […] Remember that technique is a]guide] to help you with the upper-half of your body. And I believe you are on the right path with everything. […] Moving forward, bring everything you’ve got as a unit”.

Anton Du Beke, 58, told Jamie: “It sort of started, went along and then ended. We’ve been performing really well throughout the competition, which was a good dance. […] You are a great dancer. […] There’s a lot to like but tonight wasn’t your best night”.

Craig Revel Horwood, 59 – who gave them a 7, with him the only judge not to award the performance an 8 – said: “I thought it was a little bit pointed. A little bit spiky. You had more body rhythm in your hands than you could, but your presentation was flawless and you have amazing rhythm there.

Whilst Motsi Mabuse, 43, said: “I feel like you don’t need to be disappointed because for me, I did see all that, but if you imagine a wave, right – a wave is always continuous. So you had all the aspects, it’s just that you move, you stop, you move, you stop. However, you did demonstrate the movement, the fundamental movements, and your performance in accordance with the music’s energy, and I think you did it really well.

Later, it was revealed that Jamie and Michelle managed to avoid the dance-off and made it through the eight weeks of competition. Jamie however later told fans in a post on Instagram that he had been “surprised” that they didn’t end up in the dance-off.

However, some viewers were unimpressed with the judges’ responses. What the heck is that, according to a Reddit user, Jamie was incredibly undermarked? Samba is incredibly difficult, and he was undoubtedly superior to everyone else in this series who has already done it! In my opinion, they completely destroyed his spirit.

With a combined score of 31 (BBC/Guy Levy), the pair ended up in the middle of the leaderboard.

Another agreed, responding:” Jamie was SO undermarked!! Although it wasn’t his best dance, the technique was excellent, and I believe they overpowered his confidence. He must be very confused and unsure whether or not he’s any good because the judges constantly say something and do it, and then the fans constantly complain that he’s overmarked and then undermarked the next. “Someone else wrote: “He was only slightly undermarked, but it was more the criticism that was worse.

There were also comments about the reaction to the performance on X, formerly known as Twitter, recently. One person wrote:” Jamie and Michelle have been under-marked. “Others took particular issue with the feedback he received, with one fan writing on the platform:” Baffling comments and scores for Jamie. One of the night’s cleanest dances took place. Was I watching a completely different dance from the judges there, another wrote? I thought Jamie and Michelle were spectacular… “

Whilst someone else said:” Well I thought Jamie’s samba was brilliant. Surprised at marking. “Whilst one fan said:” Jamie was really good and they’re slating him! “Someone said in a post following the performance:” I thought Jamie was much better than they said. “Sharing their thoughts, another said:” Baffled by the judges comments for Jamie and Michelle, like wtf. They did brilliant! “Another wrote: “Is it just me, or are the judges treating Jamie so harshly?” “Someone said:” So confused, I loved Jamie’s dance. “

Some fans, however, complained that he had been “overmarked,” and not everyone else felt the same way. One person tweeted:” Jamie always gets overmarked imo. “Another said:” Jamie should’ve been in the bottom 2. He’s constantly overmarked. “

A third wrote:” Sam]Quek] and Montell]Douglas] in the dance off when people like Wynne]Evans] and Jamie keep getting overmarked every week. “Another said:” Overmarked Jamie again. “Whilst one viewer wrote:” I’m glad Jamie finally got some criticism. He is so overmarked it’s ridiculous. “

Love Island’s Wes Nelson posts ripped torso snaps after admitting he ‘neglected’ health for years’

Wes Nelson, the former Love Island star, has made a noticeable difference from his earlier appearance on a music tour.

The 26-year-old reality TV star, who is now considering a career in music, gave his body a before and after photo. And this revealed the prior snap of him with a more rotund appearance, with a musical studio background and a six-pack, in comparison to him with a six-pack.

In both images Wes is half-naked. He then appeared happy and full of life in the after image, where he wore his baseball cap backward and smiled for the camera, highlighting his newly toned appearance, but he initially appeared almost depressed in the before image.

Accompanied by the image, he wrote: “Transformation for my Tour (and for myself). I’ve been quietly working on myself for a while now, I neglected my health for years, it’s affected me physically and mentally! For the first time in years I can honestly say, I feel f****** great! Tour starts in 9 days. Lets go”!

Before he loses weight, Wes Nelson posts a picture of his body on social media. nelson/Instagram)

And obviously, fans wasted no time in commenting, One person said: “Drop the workout plan. Beast”. Another person added, “You look amazing bro. I’d like to use your push and drive. Keep smiling man”. Meanwhile a third said: “You put in that work”.

Wes made it to the final with reality TV star Megan Barton Hanson after making his ITV show debut in 2018. And despite their unhappy relationship, he continued to have success on shows like Celebrity SAS: Who Dares Wins and Dancing On Ice.

After releasing his single See Nobody in 2020, which debuted at number three in the UK charts, it appears as though his passion is more toward music. He then returned to the villa to perform his track Abracadabra, alongside Craig David. And when asked to return to the show as a contestant, he claimed he refused “politely”.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: “Of course there was a question, but at the same time I was there to perform with a legend. I wouldn’t go back on as a contestant. I’m happy to be known as an artist and not just an Islander, you know what I mean? If it makes sense, I don’t feel like it fulfills me in the same way that I didn’t feel like I was working on my passion.

In a chat with the Mirror, Wes said: “He is an absolute legend, I can’t lie – it was a bit of a dream come true. He actually gave me a birthday present, which I’ve been sharing with everyone. But seriously, he has talent, and I look forward to producing beautiful music with him in the future.

Becky Vardy raises eyebrows with cryptic ‘pigeon’ comment seemingly about Coleen Rooney

A cryptic message that might be a rip-off of Coleen Rooney has sparked controversy among Rebekah Vardy.

The 42-year-old mother-of-six sensationally fell out with 38-year-old mother-of-four Coleen when she was accused of selling stories about her to the press. A multi-million dollar court case involving the women turned out to be a result of their heated argument, which ended their once-close friendship.

Rebekah yelled at Coleen in a playful way at the beginning of their feud, referring to her as a pigeon that would stoop in her hair. The WAG, who is married to Leicester City’s captain football player Jamie Vardy, 37, made an appearance on social media this week to make an ominous remark about her previous comments.

Taking to Instagram Stories, Rebekah shared a screenshot of herself from her 2017 appearance on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! a production Coleen has signed on to play for this year. The image was shared alongside a caption reading, “That feeling when you start seeing rehashed nonsense.”

In a previous interview (PA), Rebekah made the comparison between Coleen and a pooping pigeon.

A pigeon’s bottom, which was animated, was then squirted out a steady stream of bird poop before being animated by her. Rebekah claimed to the Daily Mail that fighting with Coleen would be like fighting with a particular bird breed back in 2019. She said at the time: “It would be like arguing with a pigeon. You can tell it that you are right and it is wrong, but it’s still going to s*** in your hair”.

A new report suggests that Coleen has complied with the law by handing her notoriously untrustworthy husband Wayne Rooney, 39, a list of instructions on how to conduct herself while away from home. According to a source, “Everyone close to Coleen is very aware of what has gone on in the past, and will be staying in close contact with Wayne while she’s away,” the source claimed to The Sun. He’ll be watching it from Plymouth because of his schedule, which means he can’t travel out with her. The family wants to ensure that Coleen’s experience on the show can’t be ruined. They have made it their business to do so. Everyone will be checking in on Wayne and, as a family, they’ll be cheering her on to the final”.

When one of her children was a baby, Wayne famously claimed that he had cheated on Coleen with prostitutes. Additionally, he is accused of having sex with a grandmother-owned prostitute who was known as Auld Slapper. He was pulled over by police while driving the “party girl” Laura Simpson’s car in 2017 and the result was a flurry of speculation about what he was doing after work hours.

BBC Strictly’s Amy Dowden’s health woes – cancer journey, sepsis scare and ill backstage before exit

Due to injury, Amy Dowden had to leave this year’s Strictly Come Dancing series.

The 34-year-old Welsh dancer revealed she broke a bone in her foot, which made it impossible for her to continue watching the current season. Her partner, JB Gill, is now set to dance with Lauren Oakley for the rest of the series.

Amy had previously addressed her recent health issues in a candid manner with her fans. And in a devastating statement, she told Mirror she had “finally felt like me again” before her exit.

The Strictly Come Dancing professional, 34, first graced our screens in 2017 when she made her debut on the BBC dancefloor. The Welsh star was forced to leave the show last year after being horribly misdiagnosed with breast cancer in May. Following her gruelling treatment, Amy came back this season.

However, last week TV chiefs had to make an urgent 999 call after she fell ill backstage. Amy’s representative stated that because of her health, an ambulance was called as a precaution. She is feeling much better and thanks the Strictly family for their support. We request Amy’s privacy in matters of health is kindly respected”.

Amy has spoken about her struggles and cancer journey to raise awareness, but it has been a long road back. Here, the Mirror takes a look at everything she’s been through…

In 2019, Amy revealed she was suffering from Crohn’s disease. She went on to front the BBC programme Strictly Amy: Crohn’s And Me. She shared her experiences with the condition with other people who have Crohn’s and shared their stories with them in it. Crohn’s, according to the NHS, is a lifelong condition in which parts of the digestive system become inflamed.

Following a Crohn’s flare-up while on the Strictly Live tour in January 2022, the professional was taken to a Manchester hospital. Two years later, she was awarded an MBE for her services to Crohn’s disease “on behalf” of all those who live with it. Additionally, Amy serves as the charity’s spokesperson and ambassador, Colitis UK.

As well as Crohn’s, Amy has publicly shared her battle with breast cancer. In May last year, Amy revealed the shocking news on her Instagram. She wrote: “Hey all, I’ve got some news which isn’t easy to share. Despite having breast cancer recently, I’m determined to hit the dance floor again soon.

She later told HELLO! Magazine: “I was in the shower and I felt this hard lump in my right breast. I was in shock, I checked again”. Amy went to see her GP and was given an emergency referral after realizing the lump had grown while she was on her honeymoon in the Maldives with her husband, co-star Benjamin Jones.

She was then unapologetically diagnosed with aggressive stage three breast cancer. “You just don’t ever think it’s going to happen to you. I hadn’t thought it was possible to get breast cancer at my age”, she continued, explaining that her mum had breast cancer in her fifties.

Amy was given an MBE (Daily Mirror) and is also a champion for Crohn’s disease.

Three tumors and additional cancer specks were removed from Amy during a mastectomy that month. Additionally, her right breast was removed with some lymph nodes. Sadly, just days afterwards, doctors found a second type of breast cancer in the tissue they removed. They also discovered more tumours, including one close to her chest, and specks in her other breast.

Amy was advised to undergo chemotherapy after learning about it. However, her first reaction was to refuse it. “I thought that’s Strictly with a partner wiped out, that’s my hair gone, that’s my life gone. I was like, I don’t want to do that”, she told the Mirror.

Amy was adamant she didn’t want to dance until her former dance teacher intervened, even though her surgeon kept telling her that she could “dance forever and ever afterwards.” At the time, Amy and Ben were hoping they would still have children while IVF was being performed to create and freeze embryos.

“She gave me tough love and said, ‘ What’s the point of these embryos if you’re not going to have chemo? Because you won’t be around to have these babies anyway'”, Amy said. She finally decided to go through with chemotherapy.

But sadly, her first and second cycles didn’t go to plan, resulting in emergency hospital stays and life-threatening complications. First came sepsis, then blood clots. Amy recalled the first cycle when they said my blood pressure was so low that my vital organs would have started failing. A week later, when we met the paramedics, they said I might not have woken up the following morning if I had gone to bed that night.

Amy continued on her second chemo cycle after being assured by her oncologist that she had been unlucky, only to face terrifying circumstances once more. “I got blood clots, I ended up back in hospital”, she explained, adding that it was “frightening”.

After chemo, Amy recovered, and her hair started to fall out at home. She said, “I found losing my hair really painful and it didn’t matter how much I had planned because I was bald in top. I couldn’t even brush my own hair in the end. I couldn’t even look in the mirror.”

She shaved her head in September 2023, which she recorded and uploaded to Instagram. “We all did it together, my friends and family got together, we tried to make it as fun as possible”, Amy explained. They gave me inspiration, and I want to use my platform to inspire others to find the strength and courage they need.

After ringing the chemotherapy bell, Amy declared to fans that she was “proud of herself” and that her treatment was over. She shared a heartfelt post about the significant occasion with a video of her ringing the bell while teasing up to several hospital staff members.

She said: “I rang the bell and I’m so thankful I got to! My most difficult journey to date! Looking back over the past few months, I wonder how my body handled this both physically and mentally. From the words I’m so sorry Amy, it’s cancer and what’s your fertility plans. To having a mastectomy, two weeks later hormone daily injections for egg retrieval, a little Crohns flare up and then on to chemo plus shutting down my ovaries on the same day which sadly lead to sepsis, blood clots, losing my hair, my eyebrows, lashes (I have a few hanging in there) and three toe nails”.

Amy continued: “But also it’s taken away my love of life these past few months and of course my DANCING! It’s been tough. But hopefully this has given me more opportunities to live, which I’m forever grateful for and will never take for granted again. I’ll never be the same as Amy, but I do know that I’m far more powerful than I ever was and that I’ve made some incredible friends along the way.

The Strictly pro described the news from doctors as “words I dreamed of” and her “biggest accomplishment yet” when she revealed her health check showed “no evidence of disease” in February of this year.
