Another customer commented, “The sizing is HUGE, despite the good quality of the majority of the clothes I’ve tried on. My hips and legs recently slid down my brand-new UK size 6 shorts, skirts, jeans, and pants! On my hips, they wouldn’t stay! I looked amazing in the dress as well! The majority of the order (which was kept in the UK size 4) was required to be returned.

Despite this, the dress remained in the audience’s praise. This season, according to one person, River Island is totally doing it for us! and “Absolute beauty,” according to another writer. “Loving the color,” was a third phrase.

This is stunning, according to a fifth writer, and it is this color. “Wooo love the green,” another added.

James Argent took to the stage to perform weeks after being arrested for domestic violence against his girlfriend, Nicoline Arturrson, at Elliott Wright’s restaurant in Marbella

Mark Wright’s cousin Elliott referred to the ‘trials and tribulations’ he went through with James ‘Arg’ Argent as the former TOWIE star took to the stage weeks after his domestic violence arrest.

“Never gonna make you cry… Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you,” crooned Argent as he shamelessly returned to the stage with a medley of gushing love songs after being arrested for domestic violence against his model girlfriend.

The disgraced TOWIE star sang a slew of romantic hits, danced with hen parties and spoke about his Towie past as he took to the stage at Olivia’s La Cala restaurant in Marbella, owned by Elliott, just days after girlfriend Nicoline Artursson’s catalogue of injuries were revealed in full.

Argent had been arrested by Spanish police on May 5 after former an incident at the home they were sharing when a row turned violent. After accepting a plea bargain Argent avoided a jail sentence, and on Thursday night returned to the same Spanish resort the incident took place in to entertain diners.

Performing at the restaurant owned by Mark Wright’s cousin Elliott, a newly-single Arg belted out a slew of gushing love songs from Madness’ It Must be Love to the Temptations classic My Girl.

“This is party season, it’s party time,” began the TV regular as he started his set. He later asked the crowd: “I don’t suppose any of you lot have seen a little show called The Only Way is Essex before?”

When approached by the Mirror if he had any words for girlfriend Nicoline, Argent replied that he could not talk about the incident.

However, his former ITV cast-mate Elliott did appear to allude to the recent controversy as he introduced Arg to the stage.

“He’s been there for me like a rock. And that’s what friendship is. That’s how I’ve been brought up. We stand strong together no matter what happens,” said Elliott.

“We’ve been through so much, trials and tribulations. When this place got burned down he was there for me through and through” said Elliott, referring to the 2021 blaze that completely gutted his beachside haunt, that has become known for entertainment nights where reality stars mingle with regular punters on the dancefloor.

Sharing his support, Elliott continued: “And I just want to say that I love you. You’re one of my best friends. Now get up here and let’s have a proper party tonight,” he urged Argent, who was waiting in the wings, microphone in hand, before the pair shared an embrace.

Earlier in the night, Elliott had been one of the first to welcome Argent as he nervously arrived at the restaurant looking sombre and dressed in head to toe black.

After smiling and posing for photos on the terrace overlooking the sea front, Argent’s mood appeared to lighten as he headed inside and positioned himself at the top table amongst Elliott’s Wright friends and family including his wife Sadie.

Kicking off his 30 minute set, he asked the crowd: “Good evening ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Olivia’s La Cala. Are you up for a party tonight or what?”

Bringing the performance to a close as the evening drew on, Argent appeared emotional as he thanked the crowd: “It means the world to me thank you for your support.”

The musical prodigy that produced some of The Carpenters’ most beloved tunes, Roger Nichols, has passed away at the age of 84.

His death was on May 17, but it has only just become known and the cause of death has not yet been revealed. His fellow songwriter, Paul Williams, posted a heartfelt tribute to Paul Williams on Instagram.

It’s hard to say goodbye, which is the first song that Roger Nichols and I wrote. Sadly, we hit the nail on the head. Roger Nichols, his wife Terry, his daughters Claire and Caitlin, and he and his beautiful family, who were so proud of, passed away peacefully four days ago at home with them. They fulfilled his dream. He shared “his greatest joy.”

According to the Express, Nichols and Williams left a legacy of hits for The Carpenters, including timeless classics like We’ve Only Just Begun, Rainy Days and Mondays, and I Won’t Last a Day Without You. They also enchanted Barbra Streisand, Diana Ross, Petula Clark, Bobby Darin, Paul Anka, and The Monkees with their compositions.

In a statement made by Roger’s daughter, Claire, she also praised her father on Instagram, saying: “My mom, Terri, and my sisters, Caroline and Caitlin, are all so proud of the man he was and are in awe of the legacy he leaves behind.”

As they deal with the news, fans have been eliciting tributes from around the world. We’ve only just begun, and I won’t last a day, according to Rainy Days and Mondays. Your partnership forever had a lasting impact. One of the most extraordinary circumstancies in human history, immortality through art, can be found in men like he and you. He’ll live in some way each time one of your records turns in. Love and gratitude are the words of one fan, “all souls las forever (I’ve heard it somewhere).

“My condolences! Roger should have received more recognition for his efforts, but I didn’t feel that way. Because their songs are performed by well-known singers and bands, there are far too many songwriters out there that the general public is unaware of. I frequently find myself smiling when I have a few records with the names “Roger Nichols-Paul Williams.” Another shared, “Thoughts and prayers to Roger and his family/friends.”

“This is not the news I wanted to hear,” I said. I’ve known Roger for a long time and you two have always been one of the best songwriting teams. Nothing compares to discovering yet another flawless Roger Nichols-Paul Williams gem. RIP Roger, and thank you both so much. A third admirer lamented, “I’m glad to be in the “small circle of friends” who fully appreciate what he contributed to the world.”

“RIP,” a fourth fan lamented. I was just sung, “I Won’t Last a Day Without You.” Such a lovely song Another expressed condolences by adding, “So sorry to hear this. He produced some incredible music, both for and against Paul Williams.

Another person expressed their sadness by saying, “Very sad to hear this news.” I genuinely enjoyed Roger’s. Mercy and Love. We’ve Only Just Begun, one of his most well-known songs, was just a jingle for a Crocker Bank advertisement. After a bank exec discovered Roger’s album, the songwriting duo Roger and Paul were given the task of writing the song, which was completed just before the deadline.

After hearing the song on television, Richard Carpenter realized how good it was. His band, The Carpenters, followed that song, which became so popular in 1970 that it went on to make their own version.

The song received a Grammy Award nomination for Song of the Year, made it onto BMI’s million performances, and earned the title of “a million sales in sheet music.” &nbsp,

Former hair colorist Nicola Peltz has been called a “monster” by her friends, who have furiously refrained from doing so.

There is a running joke in the Beckham family that whenever Nicola Peltz enters a room, one should duck and cover.

A source claims that “waiters are frequently in the firing line.” “Staff, family, anyone… they have personally witnessed it.

Being raised in a large, brash American billionaire family, these are merely cultural differences at play, which is, of course, a more charitable perspective. Friends of Nicole would contend that she has no fear of expressing her opinions and is aware of what she wants.

However, other people, including the Beckhams, claim that this behavior is rude.

“Say what you like about David and Victoria, but manners are incredibly important to them,” says one source close to the family. “Brooklyn is often close behind Nicola soothing things over. It’s almost as if he is being extra nice as if to offset his wife.”

The caustic aside illustrates how the family rift is still very much bubbling away under the surface weeks after Brooklyn and his wife snubbed David’s 50th birthday celebrations.

It reached its pinnacle a week ago when Nicola’s friends unexpectedly informed him that she had assisted him in “seeing the emotional abuse and toxic behavior within his family.” It was “bit rich” for Nicola’s friends to give lectures on toxic behavior, according to a source close to the Beckhams, who had previously called the allegations “deeply unpleasant and patently untrue.”

They’d seen first hand the “horror-show” which was her and Brooklyn’s lavish 2022 three-day nuptials at the £76million family mansion in Palm Beach, Florida.

According to a source, “the alarm bells started to ring.” “Nicola was very difficult to be around and very stressed out.”

Nicola’s pals claim a lot of this was borne out of Victoria’s alleged refusal to make her wedding dress. They say she spent three months with the Beckhams in 2020 and tried her hardest to integrate herself into the family. “Nicola was working hard to have a healthy relationship,” says a pal.

But now other stories are starting to emerge from Los Angeles of similar run-ins with Brooklyn’s wife. Top celebrity hair colourist Justin Anderson, whose clients have included Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Aniston, worked with Brooklyn’s wife when she starred in Transformers early in her acting career.

Anderson previously questioned if there was a famous person he would never work with again, calling her the “worst of the worst,” adding that she was “in actuality a monster.” Friends of Peltz claim that Justin was involved in an incident on set that led to this characterization.

Friends of Justin say he has nothing but sympathy for the Beckhams after they were accused of toxic behavior and emotional abuse.

Justin can only imagine what it would be like to have Nicola as a daughter-in-law, a friend once said. He is angry with the Beckhams because they are so crammed into everything.

The hair colorist previously stated in a 2019 interview that the new Transformers girl was the worst of the worst because she was the worst of the worst. Nicola Peltz was her full name. She comes from a very wealthy family. She had been slated to be the new It Girl, but she has since vanished. She is a monster in fact.

Because the town is so small, “people don’t want to work with you if you’re an a**hole.” People who are very rude at first, who believe I am a huge star in this film, and who start acting rudely toward me.

A source close to Nicola’s responded to her hair colorist’s claims that their feud was the result of their time working together on the Transformers movie press tour last night.

The source claimed that Justin’s hair “got distracted” and had bleach for an excessive length. According to the same source, the press tour was finished with a new stylist.

This version of events is contestable by Justin’s friends. One person said, “Nicola knows that’s not the truth about what transpired that day…she doesn’t want to open that can of worms.”

Only yesterday, quotes resurfaced from the actress Bella Thorne who once branded a mystery Hollywood star a ‘very, very mean girl’. Fans are now speculating she could be talking about Peltz.

Because she is a billionaire, I don’t hate her. Because she is a billionaire and makes sure everyone knows who she is, “I don’t like her,” Thorne said.

She continued, “I never greet her.” Her siblings don’t treat her similarly. She is the only one. Because she’s been a billionaire since she was a young child and has never had to work for anything in her life, one of the things that make me dislike her is why.

Bella made the comments a year after Peltz, who had seven siblings, made an appearance in the 2014 independent film Affluenza opposite Greg Sulkin, who was Bella’s boyfriend at the time.

A source said: “Who knows if this is about Nicola….but it’s fair to say she very much knows her own mind.” Indeed, reports suggest that Nicola has also got through a succession of previous agents and PRs, including William Morris Endeavour, a top US showbusiness agency.

She is quite ruthless about making changes and expressing her opinions, according to a source. The Beckhams are now in danger of dying.

Which raises the question, “How long will it take?” Many people think the conflict will continue as long as Brooklyn and Nicola stay together.

One friend claims that “he is besotted with Nicola, and his loyalties are firmly rooted in her.” Will the Beckhams ever forget the vicious briefing by her friends about the standard of their parenting, even if things did start to work out in harmony?

“Even with the best will in the world, I am not sure how anyone can get past being called toxic and emotionally abusive,” said one. “It’s so outrageously false….and to come from your daughter-in-law’s friends, it just beggars belief.

They would break up with their son if a peace deal were to come into play, they said, “But at the same time, they dearly love him.”

Ella Rae Wise, who recently split from Dan Edgar as they were preparing to reunite, had a difficult time in the Celebrity Big Brother house.

Celebrity Big Brother star Ella Rae Wise is gearing up for an on-screen reunion with her ex Dan Edgar, just weeks following their sudden split. The TOWIE cast member, 24, laid her heart wide open when she entered the iconic ITV house days after breaking up with Dan.

At times it seemed the move may have come too soon following her heartache, yet Ella managed to power through and focus on herself. She had raw and sometimes vulnerable moments in the house, but she tells us that it is all part of the job.

Since leaving Big Brother, Ella is ready to make a return to screens as she heads back to her TOWIE clan. Things will be different for her though, as her ex boyfriend Dan will also be around.

Fans of TOWIE left the relationship on a high note because Dan had just proposed to Ella at the series’ conclusion. Ella later revealed that the duo had separated before Celebrity Big Brother even began to air.

She said at the time the duo had struggled on agreeing on their futures. Ella revealed to the Mirror she is set to reunite with Dan very soon as they begin filming for the next series of TOWIE.

She said, “On screen, undoubtedly, we probably will film together,” before talking about reuniting. Who knows since the cast of the new series will be away for ten days? But since we would all be staying in the same hotel, I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to escape from him.

Ella described how it felt to witness her romantic relationship blossom on screen when it had actually ended in a tragic way.

So I don’t look back and don’t feel any regret about it because it immediately struck me as unforgettable. No one is aware of what happens behind closed doors, even for the months that follow. Everyone has their own reasons for how relationships don’t work, as everyone does.

“Just because Dan and I didn’t work, doesn’t mean we can’t be friends. We can be friendly because we really get along,” the statement reads. Simply put, we weren’t working, which is okay.

Ella also teased that the couple’s relationship will end insolvent. She remarked, “Definitely will do because Dan and I made things official and him asking me to be his girlfriend, just from what last series was left at.”

It would be a movie that would be broadcast live, and I hope this series will bring us all happiness like the previous ones did.

“We’ve sort of bonded as a team, and that’s when things get bad.” The drama on the show now focuses more on friendships and friendships. At the moment, relationships are the focus. Therefore, we should continue to follow that path because it’s enjoyable to visit.

Ella admitted to being teary-eyed after talking about her romance with Dan and how she felt about her time on Big Brother: “I think I was very emotional. I don’t really deal with that because I was so out of sauce and so out of my normal routine.”

I prefer to follow a routine because it’s boring and causes you to end up in the dump.

She continued, “I’m used to showing my emotion on screen, but that’s not really what it’s like and I feel like you have to be a TV reality person because you have to be able to relate to the public.”

Ella also made sure to dispel any rumors that she is leaving TOWIE, insisting that she only meant “series 35 over and out, happy to see the back of you,” if that’s what she meant.

I’ll be forever grateful to my TOWIE team because TOWIE is my home and TOWIE is what led me to where I am right now. Nothing will stop me from leaving, even though I enjoy TOWIE, so no, not yet.
