Kate Ferdinand has opened up about her struggle to adjust to life in Dubai, admitting that it’s been emotionally challenging to be so far away from her loved ones back home.

The former TOWIE star, 34, took to Instagram to reflect on how much she misses her family in the UK, and shared that Sundays have been particularly difficult since her family’s big move.

She shared a sweet snap of her sitting on a leafy green patio with her friend Lucy Trott, writing: “Sundays have been the hardest day of the week for me since moving to Dubai, I’m used to having a full house and I just miss the family so much. Today was extra special spending it with you!”

Lucy, who appears to split her time between Dubai and Essex according to her Instagram bio, is a mum-of-two to her children Blue and Bali.

Kate and her husband, former England footballer Rio Ferdinand, 46, relocated their blended family to Dubai earlier this year. The couple share two children — Cree, four, and Shae, two.

Rio’s older kids, Lorenz, 19, Tate, 17, and Tia, 13, from his marriage to the late Rebecca Ellison, also made the move. Although the Ferdinands are living in luxury in the exclusive Al Barari community, Kate has been honest about the emotional challenges of starting over abroad.

She recently admitted that their new life is “chaotic”, before admitting that it can be exciting at times. Kate shared: “It’s so loud I can’t even tell you, you can’t even hear yourself think.

“There’s a lot of over-stimulation. But also, it’s so special and crazy and loving and loud and everything that you could wish it to be. The bond between the kids is amazing.”

The reality TV star also revealed that her family has tried to maintain a sense of normalcy by sticking to shared mealtimes, even if they can get messy.

While speaking to the Independent, she joked: “It’s mental, there’s food getting thrown about everywhere, drinks are being spilled. But it’s the one time we’re all together, normally.”

Kate regularly shares glimpses of her family life in the UAE with followers, which involves sun-soaked beach days but also intense workouts at her new gym.

She described the move as a “fresh start” for their family in a heartfelt Instagram post when they first arrived. Kate wrote: “A new chapter, a fresh start — because if we don’t try, we’ll never know.

“Missing some of our specials already & a bit scared, excited & nervous — but more than anything, ready for fresh starts and new beginnings.”

Dubai holds a special significance for Kate and Rio, as it’s where they first met almost a decade ago. Two years later, Rio proposed in the nearby Abu Dhabi.

Ranvir Singh had Lorraine viewers flooding her Instagram comments section last week, after stepping out in a stunning floral maxi dress that fans called “stunning” and “absolutely beautiful”.

Known for her polished on-screen wardrobe, Ranvir’s latest look was the perfect balance between statement and sophisticated.

Her dress, the Floral Burn Out Maxi Dress from The Very Collection, features a soft, flowing silhouette with long sleeves and a shirt-like collar. The autumnal, floral design gives the dress that feminine edge, while the maxi length really helps to elongate the legs.

Ranvir said she has received “loads of love” on this stylish maxi. To style the look, the presenter kept it simple with a pair of tan court heels and classic gold jewellery.

This is the kind of dress that is such a versatile addition to your autumn wardrobe, working just as well for a daytime event as it does for an evening occasion.

The maxi dress is part of online retailer Very’s latest own-brand range, The Very Collection, a luxury-looking rebrand filled with timeless staples and trend-led pieces.

Very says this launch “marks a new chapter” for the brand, with a focus on bringing customers what they actually want at prices we can all afford. From trending fabrics to heavy-duty knits and party season-ready pieces, the capsule collection starts from as little as £4 up to £250 for the luxe buys.

Ranvir isn’t the only daytime TV presenter whose style has been receiving a lot of love. Just last week, Susanna Reid was praised as the “lady in red” on Good Morning Britain in the chic Scarlet Red Crepe Belted Trim Collared Midi Dress from Love & Roses at Next.

Kylie Jenner has revived her most iconic era 10 years later, and fans are freaking out over what she has been working on for her newest Kylie Cosmetics collection

Due to popular demand, Kylie Jenner is bringing back her old Snapchat era. Her past made a surprising return almost ten years later, as fans were reminded of the reign of ‘King Kylie’.

The Kardashian-Jenner’s nickname, King Kylie, was made popular on Snapchat from 2016 to 2018.

The 28-year-old reality TV star excited fans after dropping a series of cryptic hints over the past few days. Some even thought she was going to release a song.

Instead, Kylie announced that her cosmetic brand, Kylie Cosmetics, would bring back the iconic ‘King Kylie’ era by releasing her first-ever lip gloss range. Fittingly, the promotion of the new range was exclusively through Snapchat.

Kylie uploaded a two-and-a-half-minute video to advertise the new collection, which featured the same outfit she wore in the previous video clip, as well as the song “3 Strikes” by Terror Jr, which she made popular by lip-syncing to her on Snapchat.

Her packaging will feature her most popular looks, and even some of the old packaging. She wrote on Instagram: “This King Kylie Collection is truly for you!!! You’re the reason my biggest cosmetic brand came true, and I wouldn’t be here.. 10 years later! Without your support.”

“I’ve seen all of your messages asking for a King Kylie collection, the fearless era that had a dream at just 17 years old! .. and that’s why I posted that tweet back in 2022. I wanted to give you exactly what you’ve been waiting for.”

Launched in 2016, Kylie’s empire has expanded through skincare, fragrances and hair products. According to Forbes, Kylie Cosmetics is currently worth $670 million (£499.5 million).

Who is King Kylie?

‘King Kylie’ refers to Kylie’s Snapchat era, which saw her become a social media icon thanks to her edgy style, where fans saw her experiment with different hair colours.

During that time, the entrepreneur would heavily document her life through the social media platform, from her antics to a simple day in her life. It was also the time when Kylie launched her cosmetics brand, Kylie Cosmetics.

She was also well-known for her plump lips, which became a topic of conversation and received criticism from the media and fans.

Ellen DeGeneres and her wife Portia de Rossi moved to the Cotswolds after Donald Trump’s re-election and neighbours ‘heaven’t heard a single bad thing’ about the pair

Ellen DeGeneres’ neighbours have shared details about the TV star’s new life in the Cotswolds. She and her actress wife, Portia de Rossi, moved to a farm near Witney in November 2024 after the re-election of Donald Trump as President of the United States.

The former chat show host has been very open about her decision to leave the country she grew up in, as well as airing her differences with Trump’s often controversial policies.

Locals say the couple have embraced their new life in the English countryside and often mix with their neighbours at a local pub, The Farmer’s Dog. A source said: “They come in regularly, they are really chilled and very polite. They come in with their dogs, sometimes on their own and sometimes with other people.”

The source added to People that everyone respects their privacy. “One time, they asked to sit at the corner table, presumably as it’s a bit more private. Everyone knows who she is, but they don’t bother her.”

Ellen and Portia moved to Kitesbridge Farm in the Cotswolds shortly after Donald Trump won the 2024 US presidential election, and cited his re-election as their reason for fleeing to England. She told a crowd in Cheltenham that everything “is just better” in the UK, while in America, it is “scary for people to be who they are”.

Initially, the comedian and her wife only planned to stay a few months a year in the UK, but they made the decision to stay permanently the day after the election. “We got here the day before the election and woke up to lots of texts from our friends with crying emojis, and I was like, ‘He got in’,” she said. “And we’re like, ‘We’re staying here’.”

Before Ellen left the US, she had a talk show, which aired its last episode in 2022 after the star faced allegations from multiple employees that she helped to foster a “toxic workplace”. However, in Cheltenham, Ellen addressed these allegations and, though she admitted she could be “very blunt”, called them “clickbait”.

The Costwolds’ source said that Ellen is “so nice” and says they “haven’t heard a single bad thing” from the village about her. “[Ellen’s] so nice and very down to Earth. It’s a small village, so of course everyone gossips, but I haven’t heard a single bad thing.”

Speaking about the village, Ellen told Richard Bacon that she was “not used to seeing this kind of beauty”. “The villages and the towns and the architecture – everything you see is charming, and it’s just a simpler way of life. I just love it here,” she added. However, Kitesbridge was put up for sale recently. The original asking price of £15 million has been boosted up to £22.5 million, with the extra said to cover the cost of renovations done to the property.

Ellen and Portia have since relocated to a new build. Ellen explained: “We decided we needed a different house, and now we are selling that house. So if anyone wants a house, it’s a beautiful stone farmhouse.”

The couple are not thought to be planning to move back to the US any time soon. They are among many celebrities who have left to country after Donald Trump’s election. Fellow actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell moved to Ireland, stating: “My personal mental health comes first, and when he was in last time, I was not doing well.”

Robin Wright has also moved to the UK, and said “America is a s*** show”. She added that she loves being in the UK because “the people are so kind”. Meanwhile, Titanic director James Cameron moved to New Zealand because he felt the US was becoming a “hollow idea”. “I think they’re hollowing it out as fast as they can for their own benefit.”

Venezuela Fury shocked followers as she announced she was engaged following a surprise proposal at her sweet 16th birthday party

Tyson Fury’s 16-year-old daughter Venezuela has been spotted with her new fiancé after their surprise engagement. The newly engaged couple enjoyed a day out to Spooky World UK in Warrington on Sunday.

Venezuela and Noah Price got engaged in a shock proposal at Venezuela’s sweet 16th birthday party last month. It seems the pair are still in their engagement bubble as they snuggled up for a photo together at the amusement park this weekend.

The two of them looked happier than ever as they beamed for the camera as Venezuela wore an animal print Juicy Couture tracksuit. Meanwhile, Noah wrapped up warm in a puffer jacker along with jeans and trainers.

Paris Fury has been defending her daughter’s engagement recently as some have pointed out that they think she is too young to be getting married yet.

However, Tyson and Paris themselves first crossed paths when they were 17 and 15 respectively before tying the knot at 21 and 19. They then went on to renew their vows in New York City in April 2013 and then got married for a third time in August of this year in the South of France.

Paris spoke to The Mirror about the engagement, saying: “We’re all really happy for her and Noah—they’re a great match and genuinely excited about this next chapter in her life.

“Yes, she’s young, but as we all know, that’s in line with our traditions and values. I was engaged to Tyson at 17, so we’re not far off in age.”

The Fury’s have been transparent about their traditional Traveller heritage and customs and early engagements are commonplace. Paris, 35, has previously discussed leaving education at 11 herself.

Venezuela also appears to be emulating her mother’s path as Paris disclosed her daughter didn’t wish to pursue further education, instead opting to remain home and assist with family matters.

Paris explained: “We’ve always said it’s up to them. Venezuela didn’t want to stay on, and that’s her choice. That’s how it is in our community.”

Paris shared the video of her daughter being proposed to on her Instagram account and wrote in the caption: “Congratulations to @venezuelafuryofficial and @7noahprice on getting engaged.

“Both only young but when you know you know! Still in shock but very happy for you both. Me and your Dad couldn’t be prouder xxx @tysonfury”.

Meanwhile Venezuela shared a clip of the moment on her Instagram stories herself and wrote on top: “Engaged @7noahprice” followed by a red heart emoji.

In the comments section of Paris’ post, fans shared their congratulations to Paris and Tyson’s daughter. Molly-Mae Hague, who is in a relationship with Tyson’s brother Tommy Fury, wrote: “Congratulations special girl!!”

With Helen Flanagan’s new warts-and-all book months away from for the shelves, she has taken a poke at her ex Scott Sinclair – but that could be the least of his problems

View 3 Images

Scott Sinclair is bracing for Helen Flanagan’s new book after she gave him a little taste of what might be ahead.

The former Coronation Street star has announced she’s writing a no-holds-barred tell-all – and vowed to reveal all, with no “airbrushing” of what really happened in her life. That puts footballer Scott firmly in the firing line, especially after she offered a fresh poke this weekend.

Scott and Helen, who share three children Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, appeared to be keeping things friendly. The pair separated in 2022 after 13 years together and had been co-parenting under the same roof earlier this year – despite the actress previously claiming they “don’t like each other”.

She made a fresh dig on Sunday when she shared a post from @pettycoparenting101 which read: “You can’t just go around calling your kids’ dad a b*****” – it was paired with a meme of rap star Usher putting a knowing face. It left fans wondering if the pair had fallen out again.

Last year, it was revealed Scott was dating an old family friend, Lauren Davies, 34, and had been for “several months”. During a rocky few years, Scott even blocked Helen’s number – but the pair managed to put their differences aside in March, when they came together to celebrate son Charlie’s fourth birthday.

“Don’t get me wrong, sometimes we still end up telling each other to f**k off. But we’ve managed to keep things quite nice and we’ve been fair to each other,” Helen said in April. “It’s helped that our families get on and I have a good relationship with his mum.”

Helen’s new book was announced last week and will hit shelves in January. It’s available to pre-order now. She says it’s vital for her to show the person she really is – not the one we first saw on our screens as the 10-year-old face of Weatherfield’s Rosie Webster.

“I’ve made mistakes, I’ve been hurt and I’ve had to rebuild from rock bottom, but I’ve also learned, grown and come out the other side a better, stronger person,” she said. “Telling my truth meant no hiding – no glossing over or airbrushing.” The actress joined Corrie as Rosie in 2000 and stayed for 12 years, before going on to become a lads’ mag favourite in the early 2010s and has never left the limelight since.

Now diagnosed with ADHD, Helen, who lives in Bolton, has also faced money troubles and, earlier this year, was banned from driving for six months after twice failing to disclose the identity of the person behind the wheel of her car when it was caught speeding.

The book is one of the latest releases from Mirror Books, following the likes of Amanda Barrie’s I’m Still Here and EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison’s Behind the Scenes, which were both released last month. Helen will detail the highs and lows of her life in the spotlight – and it’s put her exs on red alert.

Mirror Books Commissioning Editor Clare Fitzsimons says: “Helen Flanagan has grown up in the public eye, having played Rosie in Corrie for 12 years, and documents her life to her million-plus followers on Instagram.

“But for the first time, Helen will share her full, unedited story, from truly difficult struggles to fighting back for her beautiful family. We’re thrilled to be releasing Helen’s powerful, frank and moving memoir.”
