Dani Dyer, a former Love Island star, reportedly chose a beautiful gown for her wedding guests, which is believed to have cost an impressive sum.

Dani Dyer’s love life over the years hasn’t been smooth sailing to say the least. But now, the mum of three can finally breath a sigh of relief as she’s found her fairy-tale ending by marrying West Ham footballer Jarrod Bowen.

And this may explain why Danny Dyer’s eldest daughter, whose wedding gown is said to cost staggeringly much, was never spared. Just one week before the wedding, Dani, 28, who is a mother of three, nods to Jarrod’s proposal by throwing a hen party on the Spanish party island of Ibiza. Many people were left wondering what Dani would wear in the days leading up to the big day, and she did not disappoint.

The former reality TV star, who once appeared on Love Island back in 2018, chose renowned designer Suzanne Neville who has designed wedding dresses for Christine Lampard, Anthony McPartlin’s wife Anne-Marie Corbett and opera singer Katherine Jenkins.

In an off-the-shoulder, white wedding down with a matching veil, Dani cut a stunning appearance as she walked down the aisle in front of close friends and family.

Dani also delicately framed her face by putting her hair in a loose bun while letting the front section slide.

The mother of three chose to live with her parents before her big day, wanting to keep traditions alive.

The former reality TV star turned podcast host appeared to have taken inspiration from the well-known drama Bridgerton during the last weekend of May.

As she approached her beau at the end of the aisle, violinists reportedly played classical music.

Even though you might assume that there would be a large number of celebrities there, the pair and her actor father were, it turns out, just 50 VIP guests were permitted on their big day.

However, their wedding planning was nothing short of stressful. Things appeared to be taking a toll as Jarrod continued to pursue his football career while Dani took care of their three children.

According to a source, “Jarrod is busy with the last half of football season, and she has three kids to look after,” so everything is getting in the way.”

She wants to be as involved as possible with her wedding planner, they continued, adding that Jarrod and she want to make everything personal. She has joked that she can see why some brides lose it because she is determined to avoid becoming a bridezilla.

Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, who both had previously rekindled romance on Ex-Love Island, briefly called it quits last year in a report that shocked their devoted community.

Molly-Mae Hague has one non-negotiable rule for Tommy Fury, since they’ve rekindled their romance, according to reports. The Love Island stars, both 26, are navigating their new relationship after briefly calling it quits last year in news which left their legion of loyal fans heartbroken.

Molly-Mae and Tommy, who share daughter, Bambi, two, shared a loved-up family snap last month – much to fans’ delight – after a difficult year in which they split in August, 2024, before Tommy cited his drinking as one of the reasons why the couple called it quits. As they start afresh as a family of three, ‘ultimate influencer’, Molly-Mae, is now said to have one ‘strict rule’ for the boxer, with a source saying Tommy must check in with the multi-millionaire via FaceTime – whenever he can.

A source told The Sun: “It sounds extreme, but Molly feels much more reassured when Tommy checks in. It all helps with trust, honesty and transparency between the two of them.

Tommy has shown great commitment so far, and he will FaceTime him when he boarded a train.

It is believed that the younger brother of Tyson Fury has also been checking in with Molly-Mae if he takes a flight anywhere as well as when he checks into a hotel.

The boxer is also alleged to “dutifully call the mother of his child” as soon as he arrives to find his whereabouts.

The source revealed that Tommy’s pals are “impressed” because they have been very dedicated to the entrepreneur’s requests so far.

Molly-Mae confirmed she was back with Tommy last month after she opened up about their relationship on a new episode of her reality series, Molly-Mae: Behind It All.

She gushed, “Dubai was picture perfect, like it was just the best trip ever,” when she spoke about their recent trip to the UAE with their daughter, Bambi. It literally resembled everything I desired it to be, plus more.

Molly-Mae added, in her Amazon Prime Video docuseries: “It was exactly what we needed. All the noise of everyone just switched off, everyone’s opinions. Nothing mattered. It was just like us in our bubble. She [Bambi] had the best time ever.”

She acknowledged that “nothing was certain,” but she continued, “Things are looking so much better for us.” I’ll start putting in more time at Tommy’s house, slowing down and refraining from doing anything hurriedly.

“But I always say I’m not sure what the future holds, as always.” It won’t likely be a simple future, in my opinion. I don’t. Just being honest, that’s me. I believe there will still be bumps.

Molly-Mae and Tommy’s representatives have been contacted by The Mirror for comment on this story.

Following last night’s dramatic conclusion of the British Soap Awards after party, celebrities were ordered to leave the venue because of an alleged bomb threat. After the awards, which were hosted by TV host Jane McDonald, actor Sir David Jason, and Gavin and Stacey’s Larry Lamb, the celebration took place in London’s Hackney Town Hall.

However, a source has exclusively reported to The Mirror that attendees were unabatedly told to leave the venue shortly after the event had reportedly received a bomb threat.

“We all evacuated just before 1:00 a.m. Security arrived and told us we had to leave immediately, according to our source, who gave no explanation at first.

Security informed us that there had been a bomb threat as we all stood outside the street. People started making their way home because we were prevented from returning to the building.

Some of TV’s biggest soap stars can be seen waiting outside the venue as more evacuate, including former Hollyoaks star Emmett J. Scanlan and EastEnders’ Tameka Empson, according to a video shared with The Mirror.

Additionally, a show source added that “the after party venue was required to be evacuated due to a security alert following the recording of the awards.” Everyone was safely cleared from the building.

ITV and the Metropolitan Police are in contact with The Mirror for comment.

EastEnders won the BBC show’s biggest award at the British Soap Awards last night, beating Emmerdale, Corrie, and Hollyoaks to take home Best British Soap.

ExCLUSIVE: In an interview with Hollywood legend Jennifer Aniston, radio legend Chris Stark revealed how his “worst nightmare” actually came true.

Chris Stark was left close to tears after an awkward run-in with Jennifer Aniston. The former BBC Radio 1 legend is no stranger to interviewing some of the biggest names in entertainment but he admitted his chat with Jennifer was his “worst nightmare”.

The 38-year-old had previously sat down with Jennifer, 56, while she was plugging We’re The Millers, during which they chatted about strip clubs, had a cheeky flirt, and Chris even told the Friends icon she was on most men’s “list” of the five hottest women in the world.

So Chris immediately jumped at the chance to see her again in 2014 while she was promoting Horrible Bosses 2. He was unaware that Scott Mills, his former co-star, had pulled a daring prank, though. Jen was secretly told by Scott, 52, to be the “worst interviewee ever.”

However, Jennifer had no idea that Chris had consumed the alcohol the night before their conversation. When Chris inquired, “Your character Julie is so forward, I’m interested to know how you would make the first move, if you wanted to, with a guy,” things started to look a little off.

Jennifer, in on the joke, instantly became cold, responding: “First of all, I don’t think that’s an appropriate question, I’m also committed to somebody. I don’t hit on people,” as Chris was left flustered trying to cover his tracks. Recalling the moment, he exclusively told the Mirror: “It was one of the most embarrassing moments of my life.

I turned up to interview Jennifer after having a great night out the night before. She had previously been interviewed, and the result was a huge success (it received over three million views). I wasn’t aware that I was a prank at the time. Scott kind of planned how to make her interview difficult.

Jennifer Aniston was there waiting for me because it had just begun, and she was like, “Oh my Watford guy, how are you? ” and the interview eventually turned out to be the most awkward.” Chris continued, “I was feeling extra sensitive and I wanted to cry and have the ground swallow me up because I had this big night out.”

“Fortunately, there was a moment when Scott entered, and I learned it was a prank. The most embarrassing, awkward moment I’ve ever been a part of, waiting for that moment for ten or so, thinking I might have somehow upset Jennifer Aniston. “Thank God it was a prank,” he said.

However, Chris, who now hosts the Capital FM Breakfast Show, acknowledges that despite having “embarrassing moments throughout his career, he no longer feels embarrassed about them.” You don’t need to be embarrassed, he said, so I think you can learn that everything goes on.

Due to having to wake up at 4am every weekday for work, Chris recently discussed looking after his own health and sleep. He explained that I wouldn’t really, I don’t know, or that sleep is something that I would value so highly.

He acknowledges, however, that the campaign highlighted the importance of a sound sleep schedule. In conversations with people of all ages, Chris came across the phrase “bed chemistry”: how compatible a person is with the person they share a bed with. He laughed as he reflected on his early wake-ups, but I’ve come to the conclusion that my wife and I are not particularly sleepy.

He continued, “Linking up with Dreams seemed like a really obvious choice and a really funny thing to explore, but it kind of led to my real life.” Chris acknowledges that his family’s reaction to his wake-up call is a difficult one because his body experiences a “massive shock” when his alarm goes off.

He stated that while getting up and ready for his day at work, everyone at the company appreciates getting some rest. “I’ve always appreciated getting some sleep,” he said. But I’m trying to kind of improve it since joining Dreams in every way possible.

The broadcaster acknowledges that his new partnership has “opened up a few questions” about his health issues from not getting enough sleep. He added that “if you are going to have fewer hours and you can’t help it,” it’s important that you get a good night’s sleep. That’s something I’m trying to think about and pay closer attention to, and probably something I’m at least aware of.

Despite his early starts, Chris believes he’s not “disciplined enough” to have a sensible evening routine as he doesn’t want to “miss out on life.” He said: “It’s important to sound awake but it’s also important to feel really kind of plugged into the world. I’ve had times where I’ve been doing this breakfast show, where it sort of feels like you might have lost yourself a little bit or rightly so, napping all afternoon or not present seeing mates.

It’s all about balance, and I think I’ve struggled with balance while doing this show, and I do worry about missing out on some things. But right now, I’m feeling more at ease with it. However, Chris acknowledges that his new job on the program and the Capital Breakfast show have “fallen in love.”

As part of Chris Stark’s partnership with Dreams for their Bed Chemistry campaign, which explores how sleep-compatible Brits are with their partners, this interview was conducted.

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry and Meghan Markle engaged in a conversation with the BBC, and the Duchess of Sussex revealed what it was like to have a first-hand encounter with her sister-in-law, the now Princess of Wales.

Meeting your partner’s family for the first time is daunting – not least for Meghan Markle, who had to introduce herself to royalty when she first started dating Harry. And the Duchess of Sussex revealed her first impression of her sister-in-law Kate after meeting her at a private dinner she hosted with her then husband-to-be.

Harry spotted Meghan on Instagram in 2016 before asking her out to dinner at Soho House in London. From there, the couple went on more dates before spending a week camping in the wilderness together. After Harry and Meghan’s engagement in 2017, the couple gave an interview to the BBC’s Mishal Hussein and recalled Meghan’s first meeting with Kate.

Harry said at the time, “I mean, I’ve been seeing her for a while, when I literally didn’t tell anybody at all.

We managed to get that in a couple of, well, quite a few times and Catherine has been absolutely wonderful. “And then William was longing to meet her, and so was Catherine,” she said, “and she was also,” and she was also,” Wonderful. “And then, with a one-word answer chipped in, we also managed to get that.

She praised the Royal Family’s warm embrace of her and recalled a special occasion meeting with the late Queen.

Meghan responded, “I think I have a deep understanding and unmatched respect for being able to have that time with her because I can meet him through his lens, not just with his honor and respect for her as the monarch, but with his love for her as his grandmother.” And we’ve had a truly incredible woman, she’s incredible.

Many people assumed that Meghan and Kate would be able to reconcile after their first wedding to the Royal Family. However, it appears that because of their starkly different personalities, the two women never really get together, and Meghan later admitted to having a “jarring” moment when she first saw Kate.

Meghan explained in episode two of the six-part Harry &amp, Meghan Netflix that she remembered when Will and Kate visited for dinner and that she had a pair of ripped jeans and bare feet. I gave hugs. Although I’ve always been a hugger, I didn’t realize how jarring that was for many Brits.

“I guess I quickly realized that the formality on the outside had a long history inside. When you close the door and say “You can relax now,” there is a forward-facing way of being, but the formality persists on both sides. And I found that to be surprising.

Meanwhile, Harry went into more detail surrounding the two women in his memoir Spare, as he recounts several times that his wife, Meghan, seemed at loggerheads with his sister-in-law, Kate in the early days of their romance.

He claims that Kate “grimaced” when the duchess borrowed her lip gloss after arguing with the two women over bridesmaid dresses at his wedding and that Meghan was in tears. And he describes Kate’s request for an apology from Meghan after Prince Louis’ birth was refuted by Meghan.

Harry also identifies the precise moment at which he realized Meghan and Kate might not have been able to agree during the same dinner. Harry discusses Wimbledon and the legal drama Suits in Spare, in which Meghan describes how she cooked and how everything seemed to be going well.

The only thing I could think of was the obvious difference between the two women’s fashion choices, which both seemed to notice. For example, barefoot and ripped jeans. Kate: flawlessly executed. I thought there was no such thing.
