Fearne Cotton previously opened up about living with depression and how it partly led to her leaving some of her jobs.

The 39-year-old presenter appeared on Angela Scanlon’s podcast, Thanks A Million, and revealed that her depression knocked her ‘work confidence’, which resulted in her leaving her jobs at Celebrity Juice and at BBC Radio.

She explained: “[Depression] is a chapter that I often in my work talk around, but not really about it because there’s so much of it that I’m still processing and still have a bit of a hangover with. A lot of my work has come from that area of my life where I fell into a pretty big hole of depression and not much around me seemed to make sense.

“I felt very isolated and very alone in my experience. It was long before I even dared use the word depression… Now, it’s an everyday part of my life, whether it’s friends who know that I’ll open up about it or mostly in my work. Before this point, I would never have dared talk about my mental health. I don’t think I even knew what that was.”

She went on to say she “felt very alone” as she “hadn’t had those conversations”. The Celebrity Gogglebox star explained: “There are a few things I’m still working on from that time. One of them is confidence because I totally lost it when I didn’t have any at all, which has really hindered me in my work life and somewhat in my personal life… My working life, I really lost confidence… I literally couldn’t put myself out there in the way that I used to.”

Fearne hosted a mid-morning show on BBC Radio 1 from 2009-2015 and sat in for Zoe Ball on Radio 1 before quitting. She was also a team captain on Celebrity Juice from 2008-2018. She admitted her mental health was a big reason she quit those shows

“Honestly, when I did my Radio 1 show, it was just a joy. Towards the end of it, there was perhaps some stuff going on for me but, really, for the majority of my Radio 1 career, it did feel easier, I guess,” she said. It comes after Fearne revealed she split from husband, Jesse Wood.

This week, she took to her Instagram Stories to tell followers of the tragic news. The presenter wrote on Friday night: “It is with a heavy heart that | let you all know that Jesse and I are ending our marriage. Our priority has been, and will always be, our children. We please ask that you respect the privacy of our family at this time.”

Kim Kardashian’s fans pointed out that her face looked different at the opening of her flagship Skims store in New York City this week – and they shared a few reasons why that might be.

The 44-year-old star attended the event on Fifth Avenue on Thursday and was seen riding a scooter to aid her broken foot. She wore a low-cut top and tight-fitting trousers which she paired with transparent heels first before switching into her UGG boots.

The business owner was pictured alongside her guests at the store opening and was all smiles during the event, but fans were quick to point out that her face looked different – possibly due to her make-up. One fan wrote on social media: “She did her lips in a new way. She overlined her lips with brown liner and added lighter lipstick, it’s a ’90s thing.”

Another added: “Kimmy went wild on her lips, they massive, but it looks cool.” Someone else theorised her different look could be due to her different hairstyle, saying: “She had bangs in her face, made her look like a different person.”

Among the stars joining Kim at the store opening were Paris Hilton, Cardi B and Teyana Taylor, who wore bold outfits and prints for the evening. At a dinner held after the opening event, the Kardashian star told her guests: “It means the world to me that you guys are here to support.” She then said: “I cannot f*****g believe we have a store on Fifth Avenue,” as the crowd responded with a huge applause.

She added: “My first job ever was in retail,” before saying that it “shaped her” and gave her “the best experience” through which she “learned so much.” Skims now finds itself in a prime position in NYC as the space – which was once home to a Versace boutique – is located next to a Cartier store, as well as major brands including Ferragamo, Tag Heuer and Nike.

The flagship store features four floors dedicated to its shape and loungewear offering, as well as one section featuring collaborations with Dolce and Gabbana and North Face. Skims, which was valued at $4million (£3.17million) in 2023, announced its decision to transition from a successful online presence to physical stores earlier this year.

Robert Norton, Skims’ Chief Commercial Officer, said: “We’ve been a very successful digital-native brand, but we knew that in order to unlock the next phase of growth, it was imperative that we engage, connect and really build a deeper relationship with the consumer and potential consumers on a physical level.” Explaining the choice of opening stores in urban locations, he said: “We wanted a mix of street locations that were proven street locations with high tourism, great local consumer base, and a very broad demographic of consumers coming in. With that said, Georgetown’s Main Street is one of those streets.”

Norton added: “These markets have really good starter positions for us.” A trial store was launched in Austin to gauge its success. The businessman revealed: “We’ve been operating in the background and piloting and testing for six months.” He also added that Kim was “very involved” both in the online operations and in the physical stores.

Fearne Cotton shocked fans this week by announcing that “with a heavy heart”, she and her long-term husband Jesse Wood, 48, had decided to called it quits.

Prior to their break-up, the presenter often gave fans an insight into their lives together, including what happened on their first date.

In 2021, the 43-year-old recalled inviting Ronnie Wood’s son over to her house, in a bid to keep their first date away from media attention.

While many would assume they got to know each other over dinner, Fearne confessed that it was a night fuelled with vodka and cigarettes instead.

“We definitely didn’t eat,” she confessed on the Table Manners podcast.

“For our first date, I was a bit nervous because this was a point in my late 20s where for some reason there was interest in who I was dating, and it was really horrible.

“My husband is now, and he’ll talk about this publicly, has been sober now for eight years, but he wasn’t when we met,” she added.

“So he turned up at my house with a plastic bag with a bottle of vodka in, and we drank that and we did not eat a thing.”

After getting to know each other, the pair made things official and announced their engagement in 2013.

A year later, they married at the Richmond Registry Office in south west London, with the Rolling Stones legend as one of the many guests in attendance.

Fearne and Jesse are parents to 11-year-old son Rex, and a daughter named Honey, eight.

Additionally, she is a stepmum to his her husband’s children from his first marriage; Arthur, 21, and Lola, 18.

In the same podcast, the presenter gave listeners an insight into how “chaotic” family life had been during lockdown.

Speaking of homeschooling her kids, she shared: “It’s impossible, it’s unrealistic. It’s really unrealistic to be doing [homeschooling] and to be trying to work and I’m a bit of a neat freak, so if everything is really chaotic in the house, I really freak out.

“So I’m trying to keep everything looking nice – pointless.

“Trying to guide them in life and actually work, and it’s just so unrealistic, it’s bonkers.”

Amanda Holden has revealed how King Charles and Queen Camilla plan to deal with the death of their beloved terrier, Beth.

King Charles and Camilla lost their sweet pup last month. In mid-November, it was announced that Camilla’s beloved Jack Russell dog Beth had died after being diagnosed with an untreatable tumour and having to be put to sleep. The Queen rescued Beth from Battersea Cats and Dogs Home in 2011 along with her other Jack Russell, Bluebell.

When she announced Beth’s sad death, Camilla paid a heartbreaking tribute and shared several unseen pictures of the pet walking in the countryside and giving her husband, the King, a kiss on the nose. Radio star Amanda, who hosted the Royal Variety Performance, revealed King Charles is planning on rescuing another pup.

Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda also heaped praise on the king for taking the time to ‘go around the whole room’. The Royal Variety Performance, which airs at 8pm on ITV1, is also hosted by Alan Carr and features performances from BGT winner Sydnie Christmas and more.

Amanda revealed she chatted to the King and found out that King Charles and Queen Camilla plan on rescuing another dog from the Battersea Cats and Dogs home. She said to The Sun: “King Charles spoke to Alan and I for ages, Camilla is a patron of Battersea Cats and Dogs Home and I’m the ambassador for there.

“We were talking about rescues and he was saying they were definitely going to rescue another one from Battersea and that losing their dog was so sad.” Camilla adopted Beth from Battersea Cats and Dogs home back in 2011 when she was just 12 weeks old after being found tied to a lamppost.

The Queen previously told Radio 5 Live: “Along I went to Battersea, and Beth appeared, and she had just been moved from pillar to post and dumped.” A year later she also adopted Beth’s companion, another Jack Russell called Bluebell. Camilla added: “We thought it would be nice for her [Beth] to have a friend. They found [Bluebell] two or three weeks later, wandering about in woods, no hair on her, covered in sores, virtually dead. And they nursed her back to life and her hair grew again.”

Both Beth and Bluebell made history two years ago when they both became the first rescue dogs to move into Buckingham Palace. In 2020, the two dogs appeared in a memorable snap shared to mark Charles and Camilla’s 15th wedding anniversary, with them both being cuddled by their owners during a trip to Birkhall in Balmoral.

Ninja’s bottles have seen a surge in popularity after the brand offered them at a discounted price on its own website during the Black Friday sales. Although they’ve returned to their original price on Ninja’s site, Amazon has slashed the price of the 530ml version from £29.99 to £19.99.

This timely price drop is perfect for Christmas shopping, making it an ideal gift for those looking to spend £20 or less, and could even be used for Secret Santa or as a stocking filler.

The Ninja Thirsti is not only more aesthetically pleasing than some thermal bottles, but it also doesn’t compromise on practicality. It keeps drinks cold for up to 24 hours, hot for up to eight hours, and retains fizz for hours too, all while being completely leak-proof.

According to Amazon, over 1,000 bottles have been purchased in the past month, with shoppers leaving rave reviews about the Ninja product, reports the Express.

One satisfied customer wrote: “This is a very sturdy and leak proof bottle. It keeps my drink cold for a long time and is easy to use. Just twist off the top section and re-fill it without hassle. It seals well and comes in various colours. Unlike other metal bottle you don’t get that metal taste. It also has a handy grip to carry it around comfortably.”

Another satisfied customer commented: “What’s not to like? It looks great, it keeps drinks ice cold when needed for prolonged periods, it doesn’t leak a drop and it can hold carbonated drinks as well, although they feel like they go a little flat pretty quickly. Love it, would never use another water bottle again (unless Ninja make a better one of course).”

A third user added: “It has a good seal and so you can store carbonated drinks without pressure building up. They don’t really stay v fizzy though.”

If you’re looking for alternatives, the Robert Dyas Thermos Direct bottle is priced at £24.29, or this smaller Chilly’s bottle is available for £19 from Boots.

Annie Kilner has joined Kyle Walker’s Manchester City teammates at a Christmas event, just weeks after the she filed divorce.

Putting on a united front as a family, Annie attended the private event with her sister Sian and the kids, taking them to Trafford Park’s Christmas village Winter Funland. The event is on for eight days over the festive period, featuring a circus show, funfair rides and a Santa’s grotto.

Annie beamed as she took her children around the event, despite her marriage breakdown, giving them a family day out for the holidays. The 31-year-old shares four sons with Walker, Roman, 12, Riaan, eight, Reign, six and six-month-old Rezon.

But putting her troubles aside, Annie enjoyed playing fairground games at the fun-filled event and spending quality time with her family. Meanwhile, other City players, including Phil Foden and Bernardo Silva, were also in attendance at the venue, which had been hired out privately by the club.

Following Kyle’s ongoing affair with social media influencer Lauryn Goodman, with whom he shares two children, long-suffering Annie filed for divorce in October. Although Annie knew Lauryn’s son Kairo, four, was conceived while she and Kyle were on a break, she was shocked when Lauryn dropped the bombshell that he had also fathered Lauryn’s 14-month-old daughter Kinara.

Lauryn sent a cruel text message to Annie on Boxing Day last year, revealing the brutal news that Kyle had also fathered her second child. The pair are said to have “two or three messages”, with Lauryn reportedly twisting the knife further by sending Annie a picture of Kyle playing with his son Kairo and baby daughter in a park, confirming that the kids had the same father and had been lying to her.

The Sun reported that the message read: “I don’t have two baby daddies – I have one.” While on another, she said: “Hey it’s Lauryn. I just wanted to quickly tell you that Kyle is the father of our daughter.” A source told the paper in January that the message “confirmed” what Annie already knew, and Kyle’s behaviour, including buying Lauryn a £2 million house, had “raised suspicions”.

Annie allegedly didn’t know about the house Kyle bought for his former lover for a month, and was “livid” when she discovered the extent of his betrayal. Following the shocking news, Annie decided to take some “time away” from Kyle, although a few weeks later it was revealed that she was pregnant with the couple’s fourth baby.

Since, she has instructed her legal team to begin proceedings against Kyle, allegedly planning to go for half of his £27 million fortune. Annie has understandably said she “just can’t forgive him” for what’s happened.

Kyle has previously said he regrets hurting childhood sweetheart Annie, who he married in 2021, saying: “What I’ve done is horrible and I take full responsibility. I made idiot choices and idiot decisions.”

It comes after Annie was spotted at a showbiz event at The Lowry Hotel in Salford with a ring on her wedding finger, while she partied with friends. She looked stunning in a sheer burgundy dress, posing for photos with a group of pals.
