Shayne Jansen appeared in season two of the reality dating show in 2022 – but his newfound fame saw his life spiral with addiction before he decided to overhaul his life

Former Love Is Blind star Shayne Jansen has revealed his extraordinary body transformation after his newfound fame saw him hit rock bottom.

The 36-year-old appeared on season two of the dating show in 2022, when he was famously dumped at the altar by his fiancée Natalie Mina Lee. He quickly embraced his stardom after the show, but struggles with drugs and alcohol soon followed and he found himself in a dark place.

The Nolans make emotional return to stage as they reunite months after Linda’s death

The Nolans staged a one-off concert for the first time since their sister Linda passed away in January, making their first public appearance since then. Denise, Maureen, and Anne took the stage for the first-ever performance.

The Nolans have reunited on stage for the first time since their sister Linda’s death in January. Denise, Maureen and Anne gave a performance at Sheffield’s City Hall on Saturday night (October 4) alongside a host of celebrity guests.

The family pop group’s special one-off gig to raise funds for Weston Park Cancer Charity marked the first time the trio performed together since 1978. This comes months after Linda Nolan tragically died at the age of 65, two decades after her initial cancer diagnosis.

Her devoted sisters praised the weekend performance as a way to “do their sisters proud.” The trio sang their hit, I’m in the Mood for Dancing, taking the stage as they sang it for Denise for the first time since she left the group in 1979.

The trio also sang Tell Me It’s Not True from Blood Brothers, for which they won a Guinness World Record. They were joined by stars such as Dr Ranj Singh, Layton Williams, Janette Manrara and Darren Day at the event.

The show, dubbed Simply the Best, was hosted by the cancer charity BB With Love, which was established by Michael, Rachel, Sean and Matthew Croke in memory of their mum Bev Croke, who succumbed to breast cancer in March 2021. The charity’s name could be seen projected onto the wall as the Nolan siblings performed, reports the Daily Star.

The Nolan trio revealed they’d been “rehearsing to within an inch of their lives” in their hometown of Blackpool ahead of the gig. Denise, 73, told the BBC: “It’s not going to be like when we were all in our twenties, I’m afraid, but we’ll do our very best – vocally, we’re still strong.”

Denise also made an admission about her grief and her fervent desire to honor Linda’s memory in the presence of her late family. According to Denise, “everything is difficult when someone goes; every moment is a memory.”

“But I believe that professionalism overtakes.” When Linda passed away, I delivered her eulogy, and of course you can do it right away when you think, “Am I going to break down?” ‘.

However, once you get there, it feels like you’re speaking to someone else, you’re doing your job, and you’re aware of your desire to make someone proud.

After her brain was infected with incurable secondary breast cancer, Linda tragically passed away from double pneumonia. At the tender age of 52, their late sister Bernie battled metastasis breast cancer.

Their brother Brian recently received prostate cancer, and Anne has battled cancer twice. According to Anne, “When we were asked to do it, we were absolutely thrilled because cancer has also affected our family.”

Through a variety of charitable events, The Crokes have raised more than £250K, with all proceeds going to cancer patients and their families. Additional treatments, alternative therapies, alternative treatments, and mental health support are included in this aftercare.

Next Saturday for a exclusive Q&amp, A, the trio will be playing a Q&amp at the Hebden Bridge Picture House at the Talking Pictures Festival of Film & TV Roadshow.

Victoria Beckham hints at Brooklyn feud with telling Oasis comment

As she discusses the infamous 15-year feud between Liam and Noel Gallagher, Victoria Beckham reveals subtilly her ongoing family feud with her eldest son Brooklyn Beckham.

When it comes to her private life, Victoria Beckham has always remained tight-lipped. But now for the first time, Victoria has subtly addressed her fall out with Brooklyn Beckham as she comments on the Gallagher brother’s 15 year feud.

In a recent interview during Paris Fashion Week, Victoria was asked about the Oasis reunion as she attended one of their sell-out concerts. And the first thing that came to mind for the acclaimed fashion designer was the impact the feud between Liam ands Noel Gallagher would have had on their mother Peggy.

It has been suggested that she also made reference to the breakdown between Brooklyn and his siblings and how it affects her now that she has made the comment.

Brooklyn has failed to attend a number of family occasions over recent months. But one event that shocked the world was the 50th birthday party of his father David, which he snubbed.

Additionally, there is no longer any social media interaction with his family. None of his family members were present when he and his wife Nicola recently renewed their vows.

In an interview with Sunday Times, Victoria said: “I just think their mum must be so happy, it must have been really tough on the mum, the boys not talking for all those years. And I just think as a mum, that must be … she must feel so happy to see her boys getting on.”

Victoria continued to mention how close she is to the kids when she touched on family life. She continued, “I see both of them every day; she is still 14 and Cruz is 20. I only see a small fraction of Romeo because he doesn’t reside there.

However, she made no mention of Brooklyn in particular, which was what stood out. The interview was made public shortly after Brooklyn and Victoria showed off their Spring/Summer collection last week, which was another absence.

The rest of the Beckham clan, however, sat front row, putting on a collective display. As she walked the runway, Victoria paused for a moment and bent down to kiss David with all of her heart.

Harper, who had the entire show on camera, sat next to her father. Cruz and Romeo were also in the front row. Brooklyn supported his mother’s hard work last year, but he hasn’t been seen with his family since December of last year.

Brooklyn allegedly addressed his wife’s family in his ceremony address, but he allegedly did not mention his own family to the 200 guests.

Brooklyn also decided against wishing his brother Romeo a happy 23rd birthday last month but remains active on social media. It’s believed that Brooklyn will feature on Victoria’s Netflix show as she refused to edit the scenes. But she has now reportedly “drawn a line in the sand” over the feud.

A source told the Mirror: “It was very much a roller coaster of emotions because of the big thing that’s still affecting her, her fractured relationship with Brooklyn. But it also made her realise that she can’t keep raking over the heartbreak of this situation with him, enough is enough, now.”

She continued, “She knows he will, one day, come back to her, but it’s just not right, that’s how she’s looking at it right now. This project has made her realize how fortunate she is to have her family around and supporting her.” She found it to be very liberating and emotionally wrenching at the same time.

She was shown how loved she is, how her family has supported her, and how she managed to survive, according to the source. She still hopes that she and Brooklyn will resolve their differences, which she obviously does, but she also has a limit to how she fights.

The Mirror has reached out to Victoria Beckham for a comment.

Meghan Markle’s ‘demanding’ phone call with Anna Wintour that sparked ‘fury’

As part of Paris Fashion Week, the Duchess of Sussex and Vogue legend Anna Wintour exchanged sweet words. However, sources claim that the duo’s relationship hasn’t always been smooth sailing.

Meghan Markle has been spotted sharing a warm embrace with legendary Vogue chief Anna Wintour at Paris Fashion Week, but their relationship hasn’t always been plain sailng according to insiders.

The duchess is currently on a surprise visit to the French capital – her first trip to Europe in three years – for her debut at the glitzy fashion event.

She appears to be flying solo, as Prince Harry was nowhere to be seen when Meghan stepped out in a chic all-white ensemble at Balenciaga’s Spring/Summer 2026 womenswear presentation on Saturday night.

The duchess was asked how she was in a video posted on X, and Wintour responded, “Nice to see you. “

Before Wintour glanced at the Meghan’s outfit and yelled, “Beautiful, Cherie,” the pair kissed each other on the cheek. You appear fantastic. “

Following alleged drama behind the scenes at Vogue over Meghan’s “demands,” the sweet exchange appears to have ended a long-held conflict between the pair.

The Duchess served as guest editor for a 2019 issue of British Vogue, which sold out in just ten days, making it the magazine’s top-selling issue ever.

Meghan reportedly spent seven months working with Edward Enninful, the former editor-in-chief of Vogue, to produce an issue honoring inspiring, pioneering women for the Forces for Change issue.

Meghan’s “demands” to the Vogue editorial team allegedly caused a rift between the Duchess and Enninful, with claims that Meghan even approached Wintour about them after being told by Enniful that they simply couldn’t be met at the time.

Meghan had been offered “extensive features across the magazine and its digital editions”, which would have included coverage of her speech at the One World Summit in Manchester.

However, Page Six claims Meghan sent Enninful a list of six requirements in order to complete the planned articles. Meghan requested a “global issue,” according to a source who spoke to the outlet. “He requested control over [the] photographer, writer, final edit, photos, cover lines, and. Nobody understands that. Not even Beyonce. “

Although Meghan is alleged to have requested to appear on the US and UK covers of the September issues, Vogue editors on both sides of the pond had already secured cover stars, making it impossible to grant her request.

Linda Evangelista was scheduled to appear on the UK edition of the magazine while Meghan’s close friend Serena Williams was scheduled to grace the US cover.

The Duchess is said to have bypassed him completely by approaching formidable Wintour, the inspiration behind the legendary film The Devil Wears Prada, in a bid to secure dual covers across both the US and UK, despite Enninful reportedly telling Meghan that her six demands couldn’t be accommodated.

A source told Page Six that “Anna wasn’t interested.” Anna responded politely by asking for a Zoom with Meghan to look over her request. “

Although there are conflicting reports as to the extent of the rift, Enninful’s refusal to grant the Duchess’ requests is said to have caused it to cause the pair to disagree.

After Enninful or Wintour failed to fulfill her demands, Meghan is said to have pulled the plug on the feature’s entire production, leaving Enninful as “furious.”

According to a source quoted by The Daily Mail, “The duchess and her team had high expectations, and they were hoping she might get a print or at least a digital cover out of it,” Enninful was unable to fulfill those expectations.

He already had the magazine cover that month in his bag. Both Edward and the Condé Nast power brokers were furious that they had lost the project. “

The process “came across very challenging,” the source continued. Although Edward was only able to promise her a significant, outrageous feature in both online and in the magazine, she turned it down. “

Additionally, they claimed that the incident had sparked a significant rift between the Duchess and her former friend because they were no longer able to talk to each other.

Despite the conflict over how much coverage of Meghan might be back in 2022, sources who spoke to Page Six dispute this, saying that the pair still have a “warm and respectful” relationship. They are even said to still exchange birthday messages and occasionally exchange flowers.

Meghan hasn’t been featured on the cover of the infamous fashion magazine, but her sister-in-law, Princess Kate, has already taken a spot. The future Queen was given a chance to appear in the ominous issue that celebrated 100 years of the magazine, and the cover featured a multi-page glossy spread that highlighted Kate’s devotion to the countryside.

Most recently it has been rumoured that Kate was offered a “global cover” at the iconic magazine, which would see her appear on both the US and UK covers, with offers of some extensive control editorially, including being able to “choose her own photographer, be in charge of fashion choices and decide whether or not to grant an interview,” the Mail reports.

Kate Winslet fans baffled by unearthed snaps as she celebrates milestone birthday

Given that Kate Winslet is celebrating a significant birthday today (5 October), viewers are left perplexed by the actress’ real age. Now, it made people remember her decades-long acting career.

As award-winning actress Kate Winslet is celebrating her 50th birthday today (October 5), fans couldn’t help but spot one detail as they looked back on her decades-long career in the spotlight.

Born in Reading in 1975, actress Kate Winslet has been in the public eye for decades, having started her acting career in the early 1990, when she starred in TV shows like Dark Season, Get Back, and Casualty, before making her big break in Peter Jackson film Heavenly Creatures in 1994. A few years later, she starred in what would become her career-changing role of Rose DeWitt Bukater in 1996 epic romance movie Titanic, alongside Leonardo DiCaprio.

More recently, fans will recognise the British actress from 2022 blockbuster Avatar: Way of Water, and romantic drama The Reader, which won her her first Academy Award in 2009 for Best Actress, after having been nominated seven times in her career.

People have been left confused as to what age Kate really is, despite the fact that many claim she “does not age,” despite the actress having had a career spanning over 30 years.

Because the actress turns 50 today, making her birthday on October 5 seem impossible to believe.

In order to look back on her career and how she may have change throughout it, a video was posted onto TikTok showing two seconds long clips of Kate from different interviews and acting roles throughout her long career.

The video went on to show clips of the actress throughout her long career, starting in 1994, when she was just 19 years old, until 2023 where she was seen accepting a British Academy Television Award (BAFTA) for Leading Actress from her performance in Channel 4 drama I Am Ruth.

Fans were quick to recognise some of other moments in the video, such as clips from her most famous roles, like the 1997 movie Titanic, and the 2026 Christmas rom-com The Holiday – as well as accepting several acting awards, including Emmys, BAFTAs and Golden Globes.

Many people quickly praised the actress after she didn’t seem to seem to be ages throughout the clips, including the video’s creator, who wrote, “How did she manage not to age?.”

Soon after, one viewer expressed her disapproval in the comments section, “She’s gonna have to stop that skincare routine, her skin looks fantastic.”

Another viewer called Kate “so beautiful,” and a third user wrote, “SHE’S PERFECT AAGGHHHH.”

Made In Chelsea’s Joshua Patterson ‘hit rock bottom’ after godson’s tragic death

The Made in Chelsea star explained why he’s trying to get money for a million therapy sessions and what his daughter wants from her.

When Joshua Patterson’s godson tragically died at just three months old, he “hit rock bottom”. The Made in Chelsea star has opened up about that difficult time in his life and why breaking a world record helped him – and hopefully many others – get back on track.

Last year, Joshua’s friends, Emily and George, had a baby boy called Archie. Three months later, Archie had died from SIDS – sudden infant death syndrome. “I hit rock bottom,” he told the Mirror. “I was at one of the lowest points I’ve been, I think, in life.”

Joshua and Emily, George, and the many other families who regret losing children to SIDS, had a very difficult time losing Archie when he was so young. Archie leaving at the right age is unforgivable, he said. He had a lot of life to lead. And it’s attempting to process that, in my opinion.

You must approach death in your own unique way, Joshua said. And how did he handle the death of Archie? By breaking a world record, he raised money for charities.

Joshua ran a marathon at the highest altitude ever on September 16 to break the previous record. He did it because it was physically exhausting, but he still managed to raise money for Emily and George’s baby loss club.

Any families that have lost children will be based there, like a central hub. And the goal of this challenge was to raise £35,000 to pay for 1, 000 therapy sessions for families who lost children.

“It was a monumental challenge that required us to face an even greater challenge.” I wanted to make sure that whenever I think of my godson, I look up and smile at him. We’ve done it together, in my opinion, so that we can look back on these moments with pure joy and happiness.

Without this cause, Joseph added, he might not have been able to complete the run because it was so physically difficult to do so, but also just to understand what an inspiration Archie can become and what a profound impact I believe he can have on so many families in this country.

And this is just the beginning. The ultimate goal of the Baby Loss Club is to fund a million therapy sessions for parents who have lost their children. A thousand already sounded like a lot, but as Joshua pointed out, they can go in a flash. According to the NHS, around 200 babies die unexpectedly and unexplained each year. So, in a single year, a thousand sessions may only provide five opportunities for each set of parents to unpack their grief.

Joshua’s record-breaking accomplishment is a truly extraordinary testament to strength, resilience, and love, according to Pascale Harvie, president and general manager of JustGiving. In honor of Archie, to endure such extreme circumstances is a profoundly personal tribute as well as a powerful act of advocacy and awareness. The money he has raised will have a long-lasting impact on an issue that affects countless families. Joshua has inspired many and impacted SIDS by bringing important attention to SIDS by transforming grief into action. We extend our sincere congratulations to this remarkable achievement and to Archie’s legacy.

With just over £25.5k, Joshua’s fundraiser’s Just Giving page has raised 73% of its goal. When he was asked if he would ever go back to Made in Chelsea, even for an episode, to raise money over the goal line, he laughed and declined.

To be honest, it’s a completely different show altogether. And I believe the cast members are probably between 21 and 21 years old. I have an eight-year-old daughter and am 36 years old. So I feel like that much has happened in my life. I wish them all the best of luck. He continued, “I’m a celebrity SAS, and I’m not out of the running.”

Another motivation for Joshua to run the marathon is India, which he shares with Binky Felstead. He said, “I want her to know that life is difficult because it’s amazing, but it’s inevitable that you’re going to face adversity in life and don’t be overburdened by it.” I’ve seen firsthand how quickly life can be taken from someone or be changed, and how quickly it can change.

“I hope that I can leave that impression on her with the work that I’ve done,” she said. I already have no doubt about her progress and know that she will continue to achieve amazing things.

He continued to sneer at India’s commitment to performing and theater. Although it’s a little outside of Joshua’s athletic background, he wouldn’t want it any other way. Because I believe her character is developing in her own distinctive way, I don’t really push the things I love to. She enjoys dancing and music, and she is very theatrical. So I’m very interested to see what direction that will lead her.

Binky, India’s mother, is a fellow Made in Chelsea graduate. Although the two ended their relationship in 2018, they continue to co-parent peacefully. Joshua said, “Listen, your child is the most important thing in the world. It is more significant than anything else.

And so I’m happy as long as my daughter smiles and is content, right? Therefore, I believe that everyone is doing a fantastic job in that regard.
