Michelle Ryan has been spotted back on the set of EastEnders for the first time since making her surprise return to the BBC soap just weeks ago.

Viewers were left in shock when Zoe made her return to the soap after 20 years, although she scarpered once again after a close run in with her mother Kat. During her brief stint earlier this month, Zoe was seen away from the Square in Stacey Slater’s (Lacey Turner’s) flat as Alfie Moon (Shane Richie) came to help.

After a close encounter with her mother Kat, Zoe revealed that everyone would “hate her” for knowing that she was hiding a sizable secret in Barcelona. Alfie is currently attempting to rescue Zoe while she is in Barcelona. The first images of the star on set were released later this year, making it known that Zoe will be making another appearance at The Square.

In the pictures, Michelle could be seen filming on set with Sonny Kendall, who plays Kat Slater’s (Jessie Wallace) son, Tommy Moon. Zoe has never met her half-brother Tommy, but from the pictures, it looks like their first meeting could be happening very soon. As well as Tommy, Zoe also has half brothers Bert and Ernie, who she’s also yet to meet.

Fans can anticipate more drama when Zoe finally reunites with her mother, Kat. A turbulent relationship between the two led to revelations about Kat’s past and the truth about Zoe’s parentage. The pair’s relationship rebroke despite a reconciliation, and they have since remained apart.

However, Alfie hopes to bring the two back together by bringing Zoe back from Barcelona, although we could see dramatic scenes if his plan backfires. Keeping Zoe’s return a secret from his wife, Alfie told Kat he was off to Australia, as his brother Spencer needed help.

Kat is already becoming suspicious, as she was heard telling Kathy Beale (Gillian Taylforth) that she hadn’t spoken to Alfie since he left – and Spencer had been acting weird when she called.

Kat was reportedly eavesdropping on Alfie’s departure and saying that their relationship would end forever if she discovered his whereabouts. Can Kat come to terms with him? And how will her family’s reunion go?

Zoe’s return marked the first episode for new Executive producer Ben Wadey, but it’s not the only legendary return we’ll be seeing. This week, it was announced that Karen Henthorn would be reprising her role as Julie Bates, as Nigel’s dementia gets progressively worse.

Michelle Ryan’s return to the soap was on Wadey’s wish-list of returnees, Wadey said, “Before I even stepped into the role, Zoe Slater was on my wish-list of returnees because, despite havingn’t seen her on screen for twenty years, her character has transcended time due to her popular storylines.

Michelle and I are both delighted to welcome her back to Walford, and I am delighted to have her back. Zoe’s return is just one of the many exciting storylines we have planned, though I can’t say too much at this point.

Glastonbury Festival bosses issue warning ahead of Kneecap’s controversial performance

Kneecap has received crowd-straining orders from Glasgowbury Festival. What are the anticipated audiences for the bosses’ lists, according to them.

For their 4pm West Holts show, they promised to draw a sizable audience, according to festivalgoers. If you don’t want to see them, consider taking alternative routes there. If you intend to attend, please bear in mind that if the field is full, we will need to close it as part of our crowd-planning efforts, please pay attention to the stewards.

Kate Nash, who “looks set to draw a large crowd to Left Field at 9pm, is a good choice if you’re hoping to catch her set,” was also highlighted.

At 10:30 p.m., the Scissor Sisters will be very busy, they added. As part of our crowd planning strategies, we’ll probably need to close the field once it’s full. At 10:30 p.m., Charlie XCX will be well-known in our new, expanded Other Stage arena.

Music fans can choose the most well-known acts to see at festivals by using the Glastonbury app to find out who are the most well-known performers.

The celebration of Glastonbury Festival 2025 is in full swing on day four, with revelers bringing it up until the weekend.

A mystery act is scheduled to perform on the Pyramid Stages on Saturday from 6:15pm to 7:15pm. Everyone from Haim to Pulp to Chappell Roan is a target of rumors.

Neil Young and The Chrome Hearts are expected to take the top spot on the Pyramid Stage tonight, but it’s unclear whether home-grown fans will be able to watch his performance.

A BBC spokesman stated that viewers will be able to watch live performances on Saturday on BBC iPlayer, our Glastonbury Channel, and five main stage streams. We won’t be livestreaming Neil Young’s set at the artist’s request. Our plans, including those for our TV highlights shows and on-demand coverage, are still in development right up until and during the festival.

However, Charli XCX’s headline performance on the Other Stage from 10.30pm and RAYE’s performance on the Pyramid Stage from 8pm to 9pm will both be aired as usual.

Doechii, who will be playing on Saturday’s West Holts stage from 10.45pm, is one of the other big acts playing. When they play on the Woodsies stage starting at 10:30 pm, Scissors Sisters will make a brief comeback.

Gary Numan and Caribou will perform on the stage later today, with a mysterious showtime slot running from 7:30 pm to 8:00 pm. Additionally, Hard-Fi’s indie rock band will take the top spot from 11 p.m. on the Avalon stage.

Molly-Mae makes ‘scary’ parenting admission as she talks rollercoaster confidence

After meeting on the ITV2 reality series Love Island, former Love Island star and influencer Molly-Mae Hague is expecting her son, Tommy Fury.

Molly-Mae Hague has made a “scary” parenting admission as she opens up about her rollercoaster confidence. The mum-of-one took to her Instagram page where she asked her followers to send in their questions.

How did you find motherhood, one fan inquired? Then, Molly responded in a lengthy response, describing how recently she’s been taking care of her daughter Bambi.

The mother-of-one frequently talks about being true to herself on social media, and this is no exception. She made a joke about how long she had left before she responded, “how long have you got?” before delivering a lengthy response to all of her followers.

One subject that I can really talk about, according to Molly-Mae, 26. Motherhood is a very complex subject, and I find that because of how frequently it changes.

I know I’ll miss my little one so much that I’m counting the days until bedtime, so I genuinely don’t even want to put her to bed.

Then, Molly continued to discuss how sometimes motherhood can affect her self-assurance. She continued, “I’ve been very confident with Bambi recently.

I spent my first day with her completely by myself yesterday, which was a great thing since Zoe and Danny moved in, but I was genuinely anxious because I didn’t know how to handle the tantrums and defiance by myself.

That’s a little frightful to admit that I was concerned for my own daughter? The truth is exactly that. My best friend constantly reminds me that Bambi senses my energy and that I must strive to stay calm and avoid becoming stressed out. But sometimes, despite doing my best to be super calm, positive, and the best mother I can be, she is still not happy.

The actress then went on to say that when Bambi occasionally throws tantrums, she doesn’t “know how to handle it.” Molly stated at the end of her post that she is unsure whether she is expecting yet.

She said, “I was talking to a gorgeous mother about it yesterday, and she said she completely understood, and then she said, “and then you go on to have three more children because you forget,” and then I sat back and thought, okay maybe we aren’t feeling the same.”

“Because I know there’s just not a world in which I would have another baby right now… or maybe there is one day. I just don’t know.”

Bambi was born in January 2023, according to Molly. Since then, she has been sharing updates on raising Bambi and being a mother.

She shares her daughter with her boyfriend Tommy Fury after the couple met on Love Island. The two of them split last year but recently announced that they were back together.

Holly Valance ‘lonely and living separate life from billionaire husband years before split’

According to reports that the couple have been living apart for 13 years, Kiss Kiss singer Holly Valance and her billionaire husband Nick Candy have confirmed their split.

Holly Valance was reportedly living a separate life from her British billionaire husband for years before they announced their official split. The ex-Neighbours star tied the knot with Nick Candy back in 2012 and the pair share two daughters, Luka Violet Toni, 13, and seven-year-old Nova Skye Coco.

But now the former power couple look set to divorce after 13 years of marriage. And it’s said that Kiss Kiss singer Holly, 42, and property tycoon Nick, 52 – who is also the treasurer of the Reform UK party, led by Nigel Farage – haven’t been together for a ‘long time.’

The pair were last pictured together in March having a swanky lunch in London, with Holly dressed head-to-toe in Chanel and carrying a £2,300 Christian Dior tote bag. Prior to that they were seen publicly supporting Farage at Reform UK conferences after Nick switched allegiance from the Tory party last year – and rubbing shoulders with US President Donald Trump.

Used to enjoying a lavish lifestyle, Holly and Nick once lived in a ‘superluxe’ Hyde Park penthouse worth £175million, thought to be the UK’s most expensive flat. The two-storey pad is said to have five bedrooms, eight bathrooms, a state-of-the-art gym, spa, 21-metre lap pool, private cinema, cocktail bar, wine cellar, a golf simulator, media room, two terraces – and also include valet and room service from the five-star Mandarin Oriental hotel next door.

Additionally, they are said to be the owners of a £75 million country estate in Chelsea and a £10 million country estate in the Cotswolds. Even though his wife suffers from sea sickness, Nick even gifted her a £26 million superyacht in 2020. According to rumors, Holly received lavish presents from famous hypnotist Paul McKenna.

Though it seems money can’t buy you happiness, as a source claimed Holly had been living a ‘lonely life’ in recent years. A source told MailOnline: “They have been living separate lives for a long time, he’s travelling a lot and it’s been a lonely life for Holly. Nick has businesses in Dubai and London, The Reform Party.”

According to the ex-couple, they reportedly want to keep things private in order to show their families respect. Nick and Holly have been through a very difficult time, according to a friend. Their top priority is still their two amazing daughters’ joint parenting.

The source added to The Sun: “They’ve had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick’s intense work commitments, it’s been a tough balance. This is a family matter and they’re doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what’s best for the family.”

A spokesman for the couple told the Mirror: “This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.”

Most people will remember Holly for her role in the hit movie “Flick” Scully in Neighbours, which she won when she was just 16 years old. She had just 19 years old when she started singing and had just released her debut album Footprints, which had number one hits like Kiss Kiss Kiss.

Two years later, she released her second album, State of Mind, which did not perform as well. Holly announced in 2004 that she would stop being a musician and instead pursued an acting career in Hollywood in LA. Along with Liam Neeson, she later appeared in the hit US prison drama Prison Break, CSI: Miami, and CSI: Entourage.

Back in the UK, the British-Australian star – who has dual nationality – appeared in the 2011 series of Strictly Come Dancing where she was partnered with pro dancer Artem Chigvintsev. The pair managed to reach the semi-finals and finished in fourth place.

Since then, Holly, the mother-of-two, has largely been unmarried despite her recent political outings supporting the far-right Reform party. She has received significant party contributions, including “while whispering in his ear,” encouraging Nigel Farage to run for prime minister, and giving the party large sums of money. Additionally, she is said to have contributed to Trump’s stateside fundraising efforts.

She told GB News at a PopCon – Popular Conservatism conference last year that “everyone starts off as a lefty and then wakes up at some point and realizes what terrible ideas they all are.”

Jeff Bezos’ wife Lauren Sanchez called ‘tacky’ by Katie Couric in cruel dig on wedding day

In Venice, Italy, some weren’t happy that Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos tied the knot in a multi-million dollar ceremony surrounded by numerous A-list friends.

Katie Couric called Lauren Sanchez, Jeff Bezos’ wife, “tacky” on the day of her wedding. This week, the billionaire couple celebrated their lavish wedding without incurring any expenses.

However, it appears that one journalist wasn’t all that impressed by the occasion because she described Lauren as “tacky.” Jack Schlossberg, a well-known author and the daughter of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Caroline Kennedy, became involved in Katie Couric’s final position.

This week’s wedding celebration in Venice, Italy, made it seem as though Schlossberg poked fun at Bezos and Sánchez. He reposted Lauren’s Vogue cover from last Friday, which featured her in a white wedding dress.

Like I said, “Vogue,” he wrote in the caption of the photo. In the snap, Lauren looked stunning while rocking her dress with long sleeves and a figure-hugging shape while smiling from ear to ear.

She fanned out at the knees before being hugged by floral lace. The bride was then cruelly called “tacky” in a cruel joke by Couric.

The world’s second richest man Jeff Bezos got married to with his long-term partner Lauren in Venice, Italy yesterday. The couple are husband and wife after they said their “I do’s” in an extravagant £48million ceremony surrounded by their famous friends and family – despite already having a smaller, legal ceremony beforehand.

Family and friends gathered at the ceremony, which lasted about 25 minutes, for the couple to exchange their vows. After saying “I do,” they were able to hear them cheer, clap, and whine.

The Kardashian-Jenners, Oprah Winfrey, and Leonardo DiCaprio were among the celebrities who accompanied the couple to their wedding. Rania Al Abdullah, the Queen of Jordan, and Ivanka Trump were also present.

Although the couple celebrated their engagement in Venice this week, it is believed that the couple actually got married a few weeks prior.

They have been married for at least a month, or more, according to an insider in charge of the event planning. The marriage was legally and legally recorded in America.

Although the source claimed that the celebrations this week are solely ceremonial, they were widely reported to be their wedding. They made it clear that they were already secretly married when they were planning the wedding, according to them.

Bezos himself confirmed the legal union, according to reports that he also mentioned how the pair had arranged a prenuptial agreement to protect his $244 billion fortune. Before the infamous celebration even started, Bezos and Sanchez reportedly got married privately in the United States.
