Monty Don returns to stage for first time after suffering mystery health scare

Monty Don has since had to cancel six shows for the first time since his mysterious health scare.

The Gardeners’ World star, 69, was hospitalized for several days and declared to his fans that he was “on drips and the rest of it.” He didn’t explain the hospital dash, but earlier this week he confirmed he had been discharged and feeling better.

The horticulturist and presenter confirmed that he was back on the road as part of his An Audience With Monty Don tour over the weekend. He shared the news with his followers on social media, posting photos of him standing in line at the Regent Theatre in Ipswich and the Cambridge Corn Exchange.

I’m back on the road and at the Regent Theatre in Ipswich, he captioned the photo from his dressing room. Although the theater is great and it will be a good evening, dressing rooms generally have the charm of a polling booth.

Sharing two photos of the live music venue in Cambridge, he added: “Tonight it’s Cambridge Corn Exchange- last time I was here was in 1977 to watch wrestling..”. In his dressing room, one of the images featured fruit, water, and tea.

Fans urged Monty to relax and enjoy himself after his health scare in the comment section. One wrote: “Please Monty, really take care of yourself! We all appreciate you greatly, but please don’t let your disregard for other people harm you.

Fans (BBC Studios) urged the Gardeners’ World star to rest.

A fan said: “Your health is more important than touring, although we love to see you. Take it easy, xxx. Someone else added: “Loved your evening@Ipswich last night. Hope you felt the very warm welcome, we certainly appreciated your visit”! One more commented: “We all hope you are not overdoing it. Enjoy”!

Moments after Monty said he was “feeling better,” it comes. He posted a photo of frost covering his Herefordshire garden and simply wrote: “Morning #gettingbetter”. Fans elicited well-wishes from fans throughout the stadium as they urged him to continue resting. In a video posted on Wednesday, he apologised to fans for having to cancel his upcoming talks in Exeter, Truro, Bath and Nottingham.

Monty told his 1.3 million followers: “Hello. I regret so much for the many people who planned to see me in Exeter, Truro, Bath, and Nottingham. On Friday afternoon, I was rushed to A&amp, E. I was kept in at the hospital over Saturday, Sunday, and Monday, and had to have drips and all the rest of it. But I came home last night, and I’m feeling much better. I’ll be spending the next few days relaxing at home, and hopefully by weekend I’ll be back in top shape.

Peter Andre’s wife Emily’s unusual family ritual as she shares plans for baby Arabella’s first Christmas

With the arrival of a new child earlier this year, Peter Andre and his wife Emily gearing up to make it even more special for the Andre family this Christmas.

The couple, who will be celebrating 10 years of marriage next summer, welcomed their baby daughter Arabella in April – a little sister for Amelia, 10, and eight-year-old Theo, plus the trio’s older siblings, Junior, 19, and Princess, 17. Emily, who exclusively speaks to us about Christmas traditions and family customs, reveals that she has a very special holiday holiday plan for Arabella. “It’ll be a Christmas at home for us, a very chilled one”, says Emily, 35. She won’t understand it because it’s their first Christmas, but I’m going to enjoy it because it’s her first, too! She’ll look like a little Christmas pudding, so I’m going to dress her up. I’ve got it all planned”.

NHS doctor Emily and singer Peter, 51, announced the pregnancy in October last year, and told OK! it was their “Christmas wish”. We chat with Emily at London’s Winter Wonderland and ask if she’s keeping her Christmas shopping organized. She admits that the preparation for Christmas has taken a little bit of a hit because having a new baby has thrown a spanner.

“I haven’t started my shopping yet – I need to sort that out”, she confesses. “I’m feeling really festive now, we always wait to get Theo’s birthday done until we start the festivities”.

But when it comes to their family Christmas traditions, Emily, who is also an author and influencer, has it all worked out. Her favourite tradition, she says, involves cutting up old tights. Rebecca, her paediatrician, and Ruaraidh, her surgeon, both taught her the practice.

“It’s my favourite tradition, we do weird stockings, stockings in tights”, she explains. We re-enter the tights after halfing them. We’ve done it since I was a child; we’ve no idea why, but we’re in love.

Because he only began the festivities after becoming a father himself, Christmas customs have come into play an especially significant role for Peter. His parents, Savvas and Thea, raised Peter and his siblings as Jehovah’s Witnesses. The movement doesn’t observe religious holidays like Christmas and Easter, which are typically observed in other Christian religions.

He previously mentioned how Emily has introduced the holiday spirit to the family, saying, “We have many traditions, like Elf On The Shelf, but I have to admit, Emily introduced them. Because I was raised in a very religious family and we didn’t celebrate Christmas, I’m still learning a little bit. Therefore, Emily is in charge of the holiday spirit. Oh, and Santa, of course…”

While Peter doesn’t feel he missed out growing up, because it was all he knew, he said seeing his own children’s delight in the celebrations is wonderful. “Now the kids are going through it, I get to live it through them, and it’s beautiful”, he said. Because it’s their first time, it might even be even more unique.

The run-up to Christmas is a busy time for another special reason, as Theo celebrates his birthday on 22 November. Emily marked the youngster’s eighth birthday with an emotional post on her social media accounts.

Alongside a sweet snap of Theo standing on a beach, she wrote, “My gorgeous boy is 8 today. I’m actually awestruck by how long it has been! Theo, you are the most generous and loving person we could ask for. Love you so much and happy birthday”.

Although the couple chose not to share their youngest three children’s faces on social media, cooking demonstrations and videos about pumpkin carving have recently seen a rise in their family entertainment.

Peter also made a recent joke about the possibility of an Andre family podcast. He went on to explain his off-the-cuff statement on his Instagram page, saying, “We’ve been asked a few times to do one as a family, and I think it might be the right time. This would be fun, even though we are all very busy. Whether it will be just audio or video, we must choose. All the kids will be involved including baby Arabella, so watch this space”.

Liam Payne’s girlfriend Kate Cassidy spotted leaving restaurant as she stays in UK after funeral

Liam Payne’s girlfriend, who is still in the UK days after attending the former One Direction star’s funeral, has been spotted leaving a restaurant in London.

Kate hasn’t kept a public out since Liam’s funeral last week, and earlier this week she was photographed sobbing in London. As she contemplated while grabbing a coffee and a pastry treat, photos showed the departed model shedding tears. Kate and Liam shared a home in Florida, but it’s not yet known when Kate will move back to the US.

According to a source, Kate is still having trouble accepting what has happened to Liam. They told Entertainment Tonight: “She’s still in shock and disbelief. She has been through a very difficult time. Kate is attempting to process everything and be close to her loved ones. She is attempting to participate in plans to honor and preserve Liam’s life and memory.

Paying tribute to her late boyfriend in a heartfelt social media post, Kate shared never-before-seen photos of her and Liam together. She remarked, “A few weeks ago, we sat outside and manifested our lives together. Even though you instructed me not to look at it, I keep your note a secret. It said: ‘ Me and Kate to marry within a year/engaged and together forever 444”.

Calling him the “love of my life”, she continued: “Liam, I know we’ll be together forever, but not in the way that we planned. You’ll always be with me. I’ve gained a guardian angel. We’ll be with you wherever I go for the rest of my life and the rest of my life. Forever yours, Katelyn, 444”.

Kate explained “444” is the number of angels. On her Instagram she said: “More often, you will see the number 444 when you are feeling down. Simply put, the number 44 serves as a reminder that you can count on your angels to support you forever. You’ll feel reassured that the angels are protecting you and loving you when you see this number.

Last week, Kate met Liam’s parents for the first time as she attended the funeral service at St Mary’s Church in Amersham, Buckinghamshire, with the support of her friend Damian Hurley. Wearing dark sunglasses, a fur-lined coat and appearing to hold back tears, Kate, who said that her heart was “shattered” after Liam’s death, came face to face with her late boyfriend’s parents Geoff and Karen Payne for the first time.

She was also in the company of Liam’s ex-girlfriend Cheryl Tweedy, the mother of his seven-year-old son Bear. According to what sources, Cheryl reportedly assisted his family in organizing the private service for whom he was most close. Danielle Peazer, who dated Liam between 2010 and 2013, also attended his funeral.

Nicole Appleton’s harrowing admission that ‘tore Robbie Williams apart’ after abortion

Robert Williams has opened up about the agonizing “shame” he experiences from his failed romance with All Saints singer Nicole Appleton.

When the star bravely recalled the true impact Take That stardom had had on his life, describing his crippling anxiety, depression, and addiction that came along with it, the show left viewers in awe when his tell-all Netflix docuseries came out last year.

And now the singer, 50, is delving further into his past in the semi-biographical film Better Man, which has been released this week. According to reports, the story makes references to his previous romance with Nicole, age 49, who he met while producing Top of the Pops in 1997.

Robbie proposed to the singer a year later when Nicole made the difficult choice to abort their child, which she alleges was forced to do by music industry bosses. Their turbulent nine-month romance ended abruptly.

Nicole claimed that her record label forced her into it despite Robbie’s requests for nothing more than to welcome their baby. And she felt as though she wanted to end her life after the tragic loss of their child.

Nicole wrote, “Robbie Williams put his hand on my belly and said, This baby is saving my life,” in her 2002 book, Together with her sister Natalie. I was shocked after having my abortion. I couldn’t believe what I had done. I wanted to kill myself”.

She added: “Afterwards, everyone pretended it hadn’t happened. I was too scared for confrontation. I’m just starting toregain my self-assurance. But I had to confront it all when I wrote about it. I’m so glad I did it. It was there, but I’d never told anyone in detail. I thought, “Now, please explain why my confidence disappeared.”

Robbie, who has spoken about the relationship in the past, has described revisiting the experience as the “most difficult” part of watching the new film. Hello! Nicole was reportedly consulted on the script and invited to a screening early, according to the magazine.

The hardest part of watching Nicole and what we went through is, according to the former Take That member, because she was told to get rid of our baby. I didn’t make her do that – but I was a f***ing awful boyfriend, like, really awful, and I was in the height of my addiction and alcoholism. Because she is a total angel, and there is still shame attached to who I was then, it always breaks my heart.

Nicole, who went on to have a son with Oasis star Liam Gallagher, says she kept it a secret for so long because of how ‘ small ‘ the music world is, adding: “I couldn’t do anything because I was in the band”.

She previously acknowledged that Robbie was her life’s true love, but they broke up in January 1999 due to heartbreak. She claimed that Robbie supported sharing their loss in her memoir, but he still found it to be painful.

He previously told the Daily Mail: “I was completely behind her… I completely support her if there is something so deeply ingrained in you that you feel it would feel better to you to have it removed because secrets can make you feel terrible and sick, and you exorcinate it.

” It was really sad though, it was really sad. I had to know what was going on with it because I was going to return to England and there would be questions like this being asked, which inevitably caused me to be upset and a little split.

In Robbie’s debut movie, the former couple are now reliving agonizing memories, but they are also putting up support for one another. Robbie told Hello! that he and Nicole called him after the screening of Better Man, which took place prior to the movie’s official release. He claimed that they both wept during the conversation and that he anticipated giving her a hug at the premiere.

The singers eventually had happy endings because Nicole, who has a 22-year-old son Gene and Liam, is now married to commercial director Stephen Haines. In March 2020, she gave birth to her daughter Skipper.

When Robbie and Adya Field met in 2006 while working on a UFO documentary that Robbie was producing for Radio 4, they met and have been married for 14 years. After their many ups and downs, breaking up three times, they had four children Theodora ‘ Teddy ‘ 11, Charlton ‘ Charlie’, nine, Colette ‘ Coco and three-year-old Beau Benedict.

Robbie Williams reveals agony over abortion record label pressured pregnant Nicole Appleton into

Nicole Appleton and Robbie Williams were forced to have an abortion by music bosses after they allegedly squatted in their relationship.

The former Take That singer, 50, has transformed his life into a big-screen biopic, playing him as he claimed he felt “less evolved” than others in his dramatic life. Better Man, the movie’s title, avoids the difficult aspects of his life, including his past romances.

Nicole, 49, and Robbie, 29, started dating in 1998 and even got engaged before splitting up. After the relationship broke down, Nicole was reportedly forced to have an abortion, and Robbie has spoken out about the agony they went through as a result.

Robbie claimed that he consulted and received Nicole’s opinion on the heartbreaking scenes, insisting he should include the life-changing moment in his movie. The Millennium singer has stated he didn’t speak out against the bosses, and he has also blamed music industry executives for compelled them to.

Speaking to Hello! Nicole and what we went through, according to Robbie, is the most challenging part of watching her and her story because she was told to get rid of our baby. And with that bit of the film, I can go, ‘ Hey, you did a wrong thing and that’s the reason you’re going under the bus. ‘ You know?

” But with Nic, I did the wrong thing. It wasn’t that bit, it wasn’t the abortion – I didn’t make her do that – but I was a f****** awful boyfriend, like really awful, and I was in the height of my addiction and alcoholism. Because she is a total angel and there is still shame attached to who I was then, it always breaks my heart.

After his engagement to the All Saints star broke down, Robbie started dating Spice Girls singer Mel C. He later started dating Spice Girls singer Geri Halliwell. Ayda Field and the Let Me Entertainers singer met while filming a documentary about UFOs, and in 2006, they started dating.

The couple went on to marry in Beverly Hills in August 2010 and the have welcomed four children together, daughters Theodora, 11, and Colette, six, and sons Charlton, 10, and Beau, four. In the past, Robbie and Ayda have honed their romantic relationships.

Ayda, a former Loose Women star, said to The Sunday Times that she sometimes finds it difficult to control the energetic four. They turn right when I turn left. That’s terrible. I mean, people will think I’m such a d***. There’s no interest in raising brats. My children will be aware that [economics] is where they will sit until they can afford to transfer to a different area of the plane.
