Elliott Wright’s touching reason for selling iconic Spanish restaurant and moving to UK

Elliott Wright of The Only Way Is Essex has confirmed that he is selling his Spanish restaurant so he can concentrate on his family.

Former TOWIE star Elliott Wright has confirmed he is selling his beloved Spanish restaurant, Olivia’s La Cala.

The reality TV star, 45, took to Instagram with a heartfelt video explaining that he and wife Sadie Stuart Wright have made the “tough decision” to sell the famous venue after nearly a decade in business.

In his caption, Elliott wrote, “I set out to build something that everyone told me shouldn’t be built in La Cala de Mijas, a big gamble.”

It’s been “emotional, brilliant, fun, challenging, testing, stressful, but primarily amazing!” I’ve enjoyed every second of it, but Olivia’s is definitely up for sale. Life has chapters, and these ten years have been wonderful.

He continued, “Sadie and I have discussed it for a while, and the moment feels right.” Next season’s owners should be Olivia and I hope so. Our final festive season is set for this year. Thank you to everyone who has laughed and enjoyed there over the past ten years.

Elliott explained in the accompanying video that the choice is dependent on his children’s future and his family’s priorities. Sadie and two of his older children have three beautiful children, and he said, “I always assumed that my dreams would align with mine.”

“But that’s not the case,” he continued. Elliott, my son, has worked in the City for three years, and Olivia, who recently passed her GCSEs, wants to follow her example.

Elliott is the father of five children, Elliott Jr., 19, and Olivia, 15, both of whom were in a previous marriage. In addition to Billy, five, John, two, and Dolly, who was born in August, he has also.

After spending more than 20 years in Spain, he continued, “The move back to the UK feels like the right step for his family.” Sadie and I have been discussing it for the past two years, and we have come to the decision to be all together. We have a bold new chapter in. Olivia’s is beautiful every second, but now it’s time to turn the page.

Since opening in 2015, the restaurant, which is named after his daughter, has attracted celebrities and vacationers alike.

Over the years, Olivia’s has hosted a string of star-studded parties featuring Elliott’s TOWIE co-stars including Mark and Jess Wright, Ferne McCann, and James Argent, who has performed there on numerous occasions.

Elliott, who first rose to fame on The Only Way Is Essex between 2010 and 2017, described Olivia’s as his “passion” and “a love story”.

In an exclusive chat with The Mirror, he said, “It’s given me some of the best memories I’ll ever take with me. But all things come to an end, and now it’s time to hand the baton to the next custodian.”

The Olivia’s La Cala brand and trademark are included in the sale, which also includes the freehold beachfront property. Bromley Estates Marbella will be the auctioneer for the 9, 000 square foot venue, with a starting bid of €5 million. By December 5th, all bids must be submitted.

Sarah Ferguson campaign was PULLED from TV as company scrambled to avoid crisis

Amid a major moment of grief for the Royal Family, an advertising campaign Sarah Ferguson had filmed was rapidly pulled from the airwaves by a panicking company

Finding herself in the midst of a major scandal has become something of familiar territory for Sarah Ferguson over the years.

Fergie, who married Prince Andrew in 1986, was initially seen as a welcome addition to the House of Windsor. Down to earth and cheerful, she was dubbed by some as a breath of fresh air amid the normal formality of the Royal Family.

But over the years, her relationship with the public has been turbulent. As her marriage broke down, she was eventually caught by photographers in a steamy embrace with an American businessman in the early 1990s, which began her official separation from Andrew.

Though the former couple have remained close over the years – still living together at Royal Lodge despite their divorce – the recent controversy surrounding the former couple has seen them give up the use of their royal titles, with their relationships with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein under a microscope once again.

Since her divorce from Andrew, Sarah has undertaken a myriad of money-making ventures, from writing books, to collaborating with Weightwatchers – after facing years of harsh scrutiny over her weight.

But in 1997, when the Royal Family went through a major tragedy, one of her campaigns for the weightloss company was rapidly pulled from the airwaves – amid concerns it would be bad taste.

Princess Diana, with whom Sarah also had an up and down relationship over the years – died in August 1997 in a tragic car crash in Paris, which plunged the nation into collective grief, and the royals into crisis.

The driver of Diana’s car was under the influence of alcohol and the vehicle crashed while trying to get away from paparazzi. The accident crash proved fatal, with only the Princess’s bodyguard surviving.

Just as the tragedy unfolded, Sarah’s new advertising campaign with Weight Watchers was going live. In the campaign, an unfortunate tagline was used that suddenly felt cruelly ironic after Diana’s death. In the pre-recorded campaign, Sarah declared that losing weight was “harder than outrunning the paparazzi.”

In the week before Diana’s car accident, brochures featuring the line had been posted out to the company’s customers, and some adverts had been published in magazines that included the suddenly bad taste tagline.

Springing into action, the company knew it would be impossible to remove the brochures and magazines adverts, but they did have the power to pull one major branch of the campaign – the TV adverts.

“It has a touch of irony that nobody could have predicted,” said Howard Rubenstein, the publicist who was in charge of the campaign at the time. “The duchess certainly is sensitive to the situation, and it’s just unfortunate that the mailing went out when it did.”

As well as pulling the TV adverts, Sarah also cancelled various appearances that had been booked around that time to promote the campaign. Rubenstein explained at the time: “I spoke to the duchess, and she is grieving greatly and out of respect will not be doing anything for the moment.”

“We were able to catch 95% of what was being done,” the publicist added.

“Out of respect for the Princess of Wales and the Royal Family we’ve done our best to pull our new commercial set for Labor Day,” Weight Watchers International President Kent Kreh said amid the turbulence.

Diana had been the one who is said to have initially set up Sarah and Andrew in the 1980s, and the pair were fast friends for a long time, first becoming close pals when they were teenagers. But towards the end of Diana’s life, they were not actually talking, something that Fergie has said causes her much regret.

Fergie had written about Diana and her sons in the bombshell memoir she released in the mid-1990s, and while the Princess had been supportive of her former sister-in-law telling her own story, she reportedly thought that Fergie detailing aspects of her life and that of William and Harry was crossing the line.

The pair stopped speaking, and Fergie addressed their falling out in a 2007 interview with Harpers Bazaar.

“The saddest thing, at the end, we hadn’t spoken for a year, though I never knew the reason, except that once Diana got something in her head…I tried, I wrote letters, thinking whatever happened didn’t matter, let’s sort it out. And I knew she’d come back.

Why is Jonathan Ross not throwing his epic Halloween party this year?

Although Jonathan Ross is known for hosting a big celebrity-filled Halloween bash every year, he has decided to postpone the festivities.

Jonathan Ross has revealed the reason why his legendary Halloween party has been cancelled this year.

The chat show host shared the news following his appearance on The Celebrity Traitors, where he became the first Traitor to be caught out.

While speaking to Ed Gamble on a bonus episode of The Traitors: Uncloaked podcast, Jonathan explained that his famous bash at his Hampstead home won’t be happening this Halloween.

Joe Marler mentioned which famous people he became particularly close to while filming The Celebrity Traitors, saying, “I met him a few times, had him on my show a few times, and he was invited to my parties on Halloween, when I was still doing them.

After mentioning several other contestants who Jonathan also gained insight from on the reality show, Ed said, “The main takeaway I took from that, Jonathan, is that you’re not doing your Halloween parties anymore,” he said.

No, he retorted, “I’m afraid not.” They cost a fortune, but I might do them before I leave. He continued to acknowledge that managing the event was challenging due to the event’s growing popularity.

Every time I said, “Are you hosting a Halloween party?,” people would be like that because our event became so well-known. he explained. I only really knew 30% of the adults I invited. I liked all of the others, but I wasn’t familiar with them.

Jonathan’s Halloween parties have been a fixture on the celebrity calendar for years. He hosted the annual event at his north London residence, which was well-known for its extravagant costumes and A-list guests.

Stars like Dame Joan Collins, Claudia Schiffer, Nicole Scherzinger, Alan Carr, and David Walliams were among the regulars who flocked to the spooky soirée.

The event was just as popular as ever at what turned out to be his final house party in 2019. Judge Rinder channeled Anne Boleyn, and David Walliams appeared as Dr. Evil, complete with a fluffy white cat, in Scarlett Moffatt’s Absolutely Fabulous outfit.

The COVID-19 pandemic brought the parties to a halt in 2020, and they remained on pause for another year as Jonathan’s daughter Betty battled fibromyalgia.

He revived the festivities in a different way in 2022. The TV star moved the party to Camden’s KOKO nightclub as opposed to hosting at his Hampstead residence.

However, Jonathan returned the Halloween spirit to the United States last year, but not as much as he had before. He shifted his focus away from the big-name trick-or-treaters and to the neighborhood’s.

His home was transformed into a spooky wonderland with red lighting, spooky performers, and enormous props, including a terrifying clown show.

Now, in 2025, it seems Jonathan is ready to close the lid on his Halloween hosting days. The Mirror has contacted Jonathan’s publicity team for comment.

Molly Mae’s ‘real shock’ over latest parenting backlash

After sharing “wild” and “inconvenient” clips of her daughter in the new series of her show, Molly-Mae Hague has now received a new batch of backlash.

Molly-Mae Hague has faced yet more mum-shaming for some of the content in the latest instalment of her docuseries, and it has served as a “stark reminder” of the price of fame, according to a source.

An early episode of Molly-May: Behind It All series two included footage of the 26-year-old struggling to encourage her and Tommy Fury ’s daughter Bambi to use the toilet, and included a blurred shot of the youngster in the bath. The scenes caused a storm online, with some people saying it was “wild” and “concerning” that Molly-Mae and the production team had decided to leave in the images, especially given that she’s going to grow up in the public eye herself.

Our source now tells us that the backlash has hit the former Love Islander particularly hard because Bambi’s welfare is and always will be her number one priority. “She’s had a real shock with this backlash,” they claim. “Stardom sort of landed on Molly’s plate when she went into Love Island but she’s had to accept over the past few years that the reality of that fame isn’t always an easy life.

“She really trusts her filming team but I think she’s realising that there’s more to a reality show than just filming random scenes from your day. Viewers expect more, and of course they’re going to critique every scene – it’s the same with the Coleen Rooney and Victoria Beckham shows.

Molly can’t afford to let her eyeball fly, and no one else is immune to that criticism. You need to control everything that is going out when you film a show like that.

Molly-Mae, who we spoke recently about filming the second season of the popular show, said she felt more “confident” filming small moments in her life, and that part came from trusting the Amazon Prime crew.

It’s literally impossible with a toddler, so I’m just trying to be the best mum I can be, and I’m trying to be proud of that, she said. “I’ve learned to lean into the chaos and not try to make everything perfect.” She also claimed that she tried to “stay in her own lane and concentrate on now,” especially in the way she raised her daughter.

A more significant appraisal came during this summer’s National Television Awards, where Behind It All won best authored documentary after gaining more public votes than Amy Dowden’s Strictly Amy: Cancer And Me and the BBC documentary There’s Only One Rob Burrow , about the life of the late rugby star Rob Burrow.

In an early episode of the new series, Molly-Mae confessed, “The days when the nation turned against you, they’re not the best days, despite receiving the NTA seal of approval in September), how vulnerable she can feel in the spotlight.

In later conversations, the Maebe founder spoke to her manager, Fran Britton, about how fragile fame is, Fran telling her, “People are always looking for your downfall, people are always looking for your downfall.”

Molly-Mae responded by saying she couldn’t even consider losing the life she’s built for Bambi and herself. “I don’t even want to say it,” I think we’re at a point where it could all be, like one incorrect comment.

Following the Bambi bathroom scenes, one particularly unimpressed viewer took to social media to say she was “worried” by the fact more people weren’t up in arms about the show’s content.

While Molly-Mae was doing a “mighty fine job” of being the best mum she could be and “clearly loves her daughter,” mother blogger Charlotte Blandford Tagg, known as @charlotteblandfordtagg on TikTok, questioned whether allowing the crew to film Bambi in the bathroom was a wise decision.

Bambi’s ability to consent was the subject of a lot of comments on her video, with some questioning her, and others claiming it might be “embarrassing” in the future. Bambi, who turns three in January, is Molly-Mae’s top priority, according to our source. Because she’s still a sensitive girl, she can sometimes get the negative things, especially when it’s about her as a mother, because Bambi is her top priority.

She may feel guilty for wrong doing in some circumstances. She made great efforts with her Amazon show, but unfortunately, unfortunately, these endeavors don’t always win over the public’s trust, and this has been a stark reminder of that.

Customers claim it’s “beautiful, fresh, and luxurious” and costs less than £30. Rochelle Humes has created the ideal quick and easy scent combination that you can wear every day.

We all develop a common scent that we enjoy wearing at some point in our lives, but you’re more likely to save it for special occasions when your favorite perfume is expensive. We had to know more when Rochelle Humes discontinued her “game changer” scent combination, which costs less than £30.

Rochelle and her family were on a trip to Dubai when they shared the combo, declaring, “I’ve told all of my friends about it.” The deo transforms everything. I’ll be grateful later.

Finding one that does both add to your signature daily scent and does what it does is a sure-fire winner. Deodorant is obviously a key component of everyone’s daily routines. On top of its rose, jasmine, and sandalwood scent, the Saltair Santal Bloom Serum Deodorant has xylitol esters that help stop bacteria from sticking to your underarms and causing odors.

Mandelic acid exfoliates and smooths your skin while also reducing ingrown hairs and reducing discoloration, and it also contains lactic acid and PHA in its ingredients, which both help to reduce ingrown hairs and prevent discoloration. Your armpits are kept healthy and well-maintained thanks to niacinamide, which brightens your skin and strengthens its natural barrier.

The Santal Bloom Body Mist can be combined with the deodorant to make it stronger and longer lasting, which is ideal for creating a fantastic base scent. You can easily top it up throughout the day because the body mist has the same sandalwood, rose, and jasmine notes as the deodorant and works in tandem to amplify the warm, luxurious scent.

There is only one review, which is five stars, that reads, “This is such a beautiful, fresh, luxurious scent, with a little sweetness. The scent does linger and last a while, and it does so well as it drys down. It’s not a strong scent; it could be worn alone or over a day. I really enjoy this.

You can layer up your products to create something strong and lasting each morning at Saltair by offering body wash and body creams in the same scent. A shower gel, body cream, and body spray in the same fragrances can be combined with Sol de Janeiro’s £30 Bum Bum Jet Set for a simple combination.
