Sally Ann Matthews, Corrie’s Sally Ann, announced her exit from the ITV soap recently, and there is now rumor that a returning star might own the Rovers Return.

The next owner of the Rovers Return on Coronation Street will reportedly be a returning character. The news comes after it was announced that actor Sally Ann Matthews, who plays landlady Jenny Connor, is set to leave the ITV show.

It’s been claimed that former cast member Catherine Tyldesley, 41, will be reprising her role as Eva Price, who will take over the pub. It would mark her return after a seven year absence, with her last seen in Weatherfield in 2018.

Catherine is said to begin filming her return later this month ahead of viewers seeing the scenes in the autumn. It comes after ITV fans accuse Alan Titchmarsh of ‘ruining’ garden as foster parents were left sobbing.

According to reports, Catherine has been persuaded to return with the promise of significant character development. Eva and her daughter Susie moved to France in 2018 after leaving Weatherfield in a taxi.

Catherine agreed to move back to Corrie earlier this year, according to the Sun. The outlet further details that she will begin filming Eva’s comeback the following week and that her first scenes will likely be broadcast sometime in the fall.

One of the biggest jobs in soap, according to a source, is being played by the Rovers Return barlady. Additionally, they added, “Bosses were desperate to get Cath back,” according to the outlet. With her being made the new landlady of the Rovers, they created the ideal plot.

Eva had been rumored to return earlier this year, so it comes as a result. In February, it was reported that Catherine would return to the show, with it being said that the offer was “too good to pass up.”

The actor had previously teased over potentially returning. Whilst on Good Morning Britain just last year, after sparking rumours after reuniting with former co-stars for a birthday celebration, she shared: “I mean, never say never!”

Following this week’s announcement that she’ll be returning to the cast, the news of her apparent return this year comes. Sally, 54, who returned in 2015 after more than 20 years of a break, has been revealed.

She shared the news on Instagram just days ago. Sally, who made her debut as Jenny in 1986, told fans that she hadn’t expected to stay for a decade when she returned. She however said that she wants to take on other roles.

Sally stated in a post earlier this week that she “was supposed to stay for five months, but I ended up staying for ten more because I adored it so much.” However, it’s time to perform those roles I’ve always hoped I would when I’ve “grown up.” Trafford Wharf Road is forever grateful for the memories and endless laughter.

Coronation Street airs on ITV and ITVX starting at 8 p.m. tomorrow night.

Christine and comedian Paddy McGuinness, 51, announced their split in 2022 after they had been together for 15 years.

Anna revealed to The Sun: “It wasn’t the right time for Christine to continue her journey in the agency. I think this is the absolute beauty of what the Celebrity Dating agency does – yes it’s a TV show, but it’s also real.

We are not scripted, as Paul and Dr. Tara put it in, Anna said, and both on and off the agency construct.

“And for Christine it was very brave that she wanted to dip her toe back into the world of dating and throughout the process of us getting to know her, she realised that perhaps this actually wasn’t quite the right time for her to be doing that and took a great deal of confidence and bravery inside to recognise and actually now is not the right time.”

Anna did admit that while Christine wasn’t on the show for very long, she did go on dates, and viewers will see a different side to the glamorous mother-of-three. Anna did give a glimpse of what to expect.

Christine opened up after she left the show and wrote on Instagram at the time: “I joined Celebs Go Dating with great intentions but have realised that dating on a public platform and the attention that brings is just too soon for me.

I’m so grateful that they’ve said the door is always open for me, but for the time being, I’m going home to my family.

Celebs Go Dating’s spokesperson added in a statement that Christine’s creators “loved” working with her and “respect her feelings.”

They continued, “We have loved having Christine on the show, fully respect her feelings, and we have assured her that the agency’s door will always be open for her in the future.”

Melanie Brown MBE, a singer, and her husband Rory McPhee have performed “I do” once more in a stunning ceremony in Morocco, which was very different from her most recent engagement.

Rory McPhee and Melanie Brown MBE have once more wed. Just a few weeks ago, Rory, the icon of the Spice Girls and hair stylist, tied the knot at St. Paul’s Cathedral, which is renowned for its iconic ceremony.

However, the musician, 50, and Rory, 37, tied the knot in Morocco last night in a ceremony that was both glamorous and paid tribute to their fiery roots. Melanie’s three children from previous relationships, Rory’s family, her sister Danielle Brown, and Rory’s family were among the couple’s closest friends and family.

Also on the guest list was Melanie’s Spice Girls bandmate, Melanie C, who had been unable to attend the St Paul’s ceremony due to work commitments as part of her huge tour. Speaking of the weekend, Melanie C said: “What a weekend!” The singer previously said her second ceremony would be “sexy”. Now, the Mirror can reveal an exclusive insight into Melanie and Rory’s second wedding. It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce’s lock screen.

In collaboration with Evelie and Justin Alexander, Mel’s stunning wedding dress glowed red crystals under the Marrakech sunshine. The Selman Hotel, their favorite location, where the couple wed once more, was where they tied the knot. Melanie chose something a little spicier, reflecting on her personal style, than her regal white gown from London.

Melanie’s wedding dress designer, Caroline Black from Evelie Bridal, previously guided the musician’s search for the ideal Josephine Scott dress for their UK wedding. She chose American designer Justin Alexander to reflect her current lifestyle because she works on America’s Got Talent in Leeds and the US.

Caroline, the owner of Evelie Bridal, said: “We focused on trying Justin Alexander gowns with a little extra sparkle for Mel’s Morocco wedding dress. Although it had to feel bold and easy to move in, Mell enjoyed the idea of a red dress.

We had a variety of dresses she tried on at Evelie South Kensington, and we exchanged ideas with Justin Alexander and his design team. The initial design developed after a number of discussions and sketches. Mell gave us honest feedback on both her preferences and her shortcomings, which led to a beautiful final product. It was a pleasure working with her and Justin Alexander to bring her vision to life because Mel had such a clear sense of what she wanted.

The jaw-dropping, sheer gown, which oozed glamour and flares, was created by Melanie and Caroline in collaboration with Creative Director Justin Warshaw and Chief of Design Terri Hilferty. The bodice and skirt have a mesmerizing floating effect thanks to hand-fitted red crystals and bulge beads, which completely transform the silhouette. Six artisans created the team, which took 850 hours to complete.

Red crystal detailing eventually dispersed across the corset of her dress, eventually dispersing along the sweetheart neckline. The asymmetrical waistline detailing also added a dimension. A daring side split, in true Mel B fashion, revealed her toned legs and a skirt of crystal beads that were dispersed along her.

The back also featured a lace-up corset and red ribbons, which helped her build a formidable physique before eventually erupting into a magical cathedral-length train. The Moroccan-inspired veil, which was custom-draped in mocha tulle and accented with red crystals, completed the musician’s look. The dress and the warm-toned veil seamlessly combine, giving a radiant, skin-toned glow. Crystals finish the look by accenting the veil’s crown and cascade delicately down the back drape. Additionally, additional sparkle is scattered throughout the train.

Rory, Melanie’s husband, chose Alexander McQueen from the UK and a traditional black tie outfit for the St. Paul’s ceremony, which had previously been done with tartan and a kilt.

We had a great time working with Mel, according to Justin Warshaw, CEO and Creative Director of Justin Alexander, when he spoke about the design. Every meeting was filled with creative ideas and laughter, and the spirit is woven into the garments we created.

“Co-creating these dresses together felt like a true celebration of her love story and personal style,” according to the designer, who expressed her joy and trust in the process.

At this week’s Great Gatsby musical performance, Love Island winner Amber Davies issued a warning to fans about a “selfish” audience member.

Theatre star Amber Davies hit out at a “selfish” member of the audience in the middle of the Great Gatsby musical this weekend. The Love Island winner shared a message for fans after someone “ruined” part of her performance.

Amber, 28, is one of the cast members for the London Coliseum production of the well-known play, which is based on the book of the same name. In the limited run, the actor portrays Jordan Baker, whose songs include New Money.

During last night’s show, Amber issued a warning to those attending the musical after being distracted by someone in the audience. It comes after Taylor Swift sparks engagement rumours as fans spot Travis Kelce’s lock screen

Amber filmed the message on her Instagram Story whilst backstage. The performer, who is starring alongside the likes of Corbin Bleu and Rachel Tucker in the show, hit out over “selfish” behaviour from some people in theatres.

In the video, she stated, “This is a PSA.” The more obvious it is to film a performance the closer you are to the stage. The entire stalls are in this place. Then, she said, “We can see you if you’re filming in the stalls”!

The Dancing on Ice star went on to share what she can see whilst performing, saying: “From someone who’s on stage, I just wanna tell you a little bit about what we see. So we see like a dark canvas and outlines of people’s heads.”

Amber continued: “If you’re filming, the reflection from the lights bounce straight back off your … the back of your iPhone onto us on stage. So it is the one thing we can see.” She then criticised one particular audience member.

She said: “So to the woman filming New Money tonight – you distracted absolutely everybody on that stage. And not only that, it takes us out of the Gatsby world because you’re filming and you’ve basically ruined that moment for everybody else who was watching the show tonight.”

Amber urged people to “be kind and selfless. Stop capturing images of shows. She continued, “Tell someone to stop filming while they are on stage because it’s obscene because it’s obscene.”

The former islander continued, “Also, I will independently count the number of seats back you are, tell our stage manager where you’re sitting, and what shade of hair you have, and trust me, they will occasionally ask you to delete the footage so you’ve essentially done it for nothing.”

Amber concluded the video by confirming that she was filming the video periodically and that she would be returning to the stage soon for the second act. She declared, “Act Two will be fun to me now.”

Before wrapping up last year, Naked Attraction quickly gained popularity on our screens in 2016 and quickly rose to prominence.

Naked Attraction star Anna Richardson has given an update on the show’s future after a year off air. The Channel 4 programmes sees every day people take their kit off in a bid to find love.

One person is met with several naked figures and have to choose who they want to go on a date with without seeing their faces or even chatting first. The controversial programme first landed on our screens back in 2016 but came to an end last year.

Before it ended in March of last year, 65 episodes were broadcast across seven different shows. Many fans have been anticipating that the program will simply be taking a break and will return at some point.

Anna expressed her hope that Naked Attraction will return to our screens once more in a letter to the Daily Mail. She expressed her desire for it to return.

I want a campaign that basically reads, “Bring back Naked Attraction!” It has a lot of fans. It is adored by everyone. It’s humorous. It involves embracing others.

“And I think at the moment, in a world where we’re all actually a bit p***ed off and we feel ground down in this country, you know, there’s a huge amount of division and anger. I think Naked Attraction brings a bit of levity.

In the midst of “fall from grace,” Molly-Mae Hague claims to “can’t understand what she’s done wrong.”

Wynne Evans of Strictly Come Dancing breaks up with her fiancée weeks after making the proposal.

I have no idea whether it’s coming back, which is true. Let’s keep our fingers crossed because it’s a fun show to do and does very well, but I don’t know whether it’s politically correct, so I’m hoping it’s.

Nine years ago, the show first aired on television. While the various colored pods are present, Anna assists the single person in deciding who they want to date.

While the single person returns one person home each time, those who are in the pods reveal a different body part during each round.

They finally reveal their faces at the conclusion, and the lone person also removes their clothing. When they put their clothes back on and go on a date together, a final person is then chosen.

Anna said she thinks Naked Attraction has opened the door to other contentious dating shows. Everyone had a breakdown when Naked Attraction was revealed, she claimed, which was “crazy.” And, you’re aware of it, the press absolutely went crazy saying, “This is a new low for British television’s new low and moral standards.”

“And of course, we were trailblazers,” he continued, “and we’ve made it easier for things to be discussed, discussed, and more accepting.”

Aimee Osbourne, his older sister, and his mother Sharon, Ozzy, and Kelly, all chose not to appear on the TV series The Osbournes, but Jack Osbourne did.

Jack Osbourne admits he and his sister Aimee are “not close at all” as he addresses her decision not to appear on The Osbournes. The pioneering reality TV show followed rocker Ozzy Osbourne and his family for four series.

While Jack, 39, and his sister Kelly, 40, starred in the MTV hit, 41-year-old Aimee opted not to appear at all. Aimee reportedly feared she would be seen as “riding on the coat-tails” of her family as she tried to make a name in the music industry.

She stated on the Disrespectfully podcast that, “back then, she really wanted to be a musician, and the kind of musician she wanted to be was like a Fiona Apple, Mazzy Star, like this kind of obscure, mysterious, moody… and she viewed hosting a show on MTV as low-hanging fruit. She said, “I’m not going to be seen riding coat-tails,” which was how she felt.

She used to say, “Well, I can’t come on because I don’t want to be seen even more as a jumping on the bandwagon,” but after the show was enormously successful, I think she was. And she hid her heels in order to remain a little obscure and private.

According to legend, The Osbournes allegedly opened the door for reality TV shows based on well-known families. It followed the family through difficult times, including Sharon’s battle with cancer and an ATV accident that nearly caused Ozzy’s death.

When Aimee asked how regrettable she had stopped watching the show, Jack said, “I’ve never had the conversation with her, we’re never even close. She’ll be the first to admit it, so it’s a secret that our relationship isn’t great.

Do you regret it? is a question I never directly asked her. I believe there must be a feeling of “Hey, my life would have probably been different than what it is if I’ve done that,” so I don’t know if I would have regretted it.

When asked if he was “glad” that he did the show, Jack responded, “Absolutely, it was such an interesting thing to be a part of, especially how much media has changed, there’s just not that level of excitement around TV anymore like there was back then.”

Aimee and her family recently spotted together at her father’s funeral on Thursday. Just weeks after his 82nd birthday, rocker Ozzy passed away on July 22.

The family made a stop at Birmingham’s Black Sabbath Bridge to read the messages that thousands of fans have left since Ozzy’s passing. Before the procession started, fans waited for about five minutes while chanting “Ozzy” in front of them.

On his 250-acre estate in Buckinghamshire, the Black Sabbath frontman was cremated aside an elaborate lake. Fans have left floral tributes outside the property since his death.
