Gok Wan has admitted he is still coming to terms with a health diagnosis he received a few years ago. The fashion guru-turned-DJ was told he had ADHD and he has confessed it is still taking some getting his head around.

However, in a bid to help others who have the condition, the 50-year-old star took to social media to share a message of support. Uploading an article he had found helpful and interesting, Gok shared a post surrounding dealing with grief when you have ADHD, which stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder.

According to the NHS, the condition makes the brain work differently to most people. Symptoms include being easily distracted, finding it hard to listen to what people are saying or to follow instructions, and forgetting everyday tasks, such as brushing teeth or putting on socks.

In Gok’s post, he said: “’Ive not really spoken about my ADHD as it’s still something I’m learning to understand as I was diagnosed only a couple of years ago.

“Anyway, this morning I read an interesting article about GRIEF (which took me f***ing forever – ADHD fam, IYKYK lol)… for anyone with ADHD and is grieving, this article may help.”

He then shared a link to the article on the Mini ADHD Coach website. And fans were grateful for his post.

Among those sharing the gratitude was internet personality Steven Carter-Bailey who wrote: “Thanks, sweetheart xx,” with a love heart emoji.

Another user penned: “Grief is hard for everyone but when you can’t quite process it in the same way as others it becomes more than just grief… xx hugs,” while a third added: “My daughter has ADHD – knew there was a reason I can relate to you so much. You are wonderful.”

Last year the TV host opened up on how he almost didn’t make it into his career in fashion . Instead, he claimed he was “really interested” in economics.

Speaking to the Mirror in December, Gok confessed he had “always fantasised” of working in finance or in the City. The How To Look Good Naked star said: “I wanted a career change.

“And I always fantasised about the idea of working in finance or working in the City. I know, it sounds bizarre. But I’m really interested in economics. I think I probably could have done it.”

And he also revealed how losing a pal to breast cancer made him treat life “like a daily bucket list”. He went on to admit that his life’s path hasn’t taken him on the route he had initially envisaged.

Gok, who is single, previously revealed how he was hopeful he would be a father before he turned 45. However, he admits that his path may not feature parenthood: “My paternal need was never strong enough. It was only ever the fear of missing out,” he said.

“I did think, ‘Am I going to regret this?’ I might still. I’ve kind of come to terms with the idea. I have to be confident enough to know it’s not right for me right now.”

Fiona Phillips’ husband reveals her heartbreaking daily routine after Alzheimer’s diagnosis

Three years ago, Fiona Phillips was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer’s before her husband, Martin Frizell, left his job as the boss of This Morning to look after her

Martin Frizell has given a heartbreaking insight into Fiona Phillip’s life now after her devastating Alzheimer’s diagnosis three years ago. Fiona, 64, initially thought her symptoms, including brain fog, anxiety and a lack of interest in her marriage, were due to menopause until she was told she had the neurodegenerative condition, which tragically took the lives of both her parents.

Martin, 66, who last year gave up his job heading This Morning to look after his wife, who he wed in 1997, has admitted that Fiona – with whom he shares two sons – now needs ‘a lot of help’, including with showering, washing her hair, brushing her teeth and getting dressed.

Opening up about Fiona’s daily routine, he writes in her upcoming memoir: Remember when? My Life With Alzheimer’s, which is being serialised in the Mail: “It is January 2025 as I write this, and Fiona needs a lot of help.

“She needs help showering and brushing her teeth. She can do these things physically, but is unable now to think about how she should do them…

“I wash Fiona’s hair because she wouldn’t know what shampoo or conditioner to use or how wet her hair needs to be or that she must rinse the soap suds out afterwards…

“And most nights I’ll say, ‘Right, we need to brush our teeth before we go to bed,’ and I’ll put the toothpaste on the brush and hand it to her.”

Martin explains that while Fiona can dress herself, she doesn’t do it “correctly” and sometimes puts things on the wrong way round.

He also reveals his wife becomes very fond of one piece of clothing and will want to wear it “over and over again.”

Admitting that Fiona, who was one of the UK’s most in-demand presenters, hosting GMTV for more than decade, is “still very stubborn”, Martin, heartbreakingly, concedes she doesn’t like being told what to do and “rails against it”.

Fiona recently admitted she had no idea she was suffering from Alzheimer’s before her diagnosis three years ago. The former GMTV star, initially put her symptoms, including brain fog, anxiety and a lack of interest in her marriage down to menopause. However, three years ago she was tragically told that she had the neurodegenerative disease, which both her parents suffered with.

Following Fiona’s diagnosis, Martin quit his job at This Morning after 10 years in 2024, saying he ‘expected his priorities to change’.

He announced: “Next year I’m expecting my family priorities to change so I need to free up time for them. I love my team at ITV and will miss them and the thrill of live telly but it’s an always on, 24 hours a day, seven days a week commitment and I won’t be able to do both.”

Oasis fans issued Heaton Park warning over train travel days before concert

Oasis fans travelling to their hometown show at Heaton Park have been issued a warning over travel just days before the first concert takes place

Oasis fans travelling to their concerts at Heaton Park have been issued a travel warning. Brothers Liam and Noel Gallagher will return to their hometown this weekend for the start of five sold-out concerts, playing to 80,000 fans each night. But with such demand comes increased pressure on public transport.

Ticket platform Trainline has seen a 20 per cent increase in passengers travelling to Manchester ahead of Oasis’ historic Heaton Park shows. They say this surge suggests thousands of music fans will travel from all corners of the UK to see the Gallagher’s reunion in their home town. Some towns and cities have sold more than double the usual number of tickets ahead of the Gallagher brothers’ first homecoming concert on Friday.

The band kicked off their historic reunion tour in Cardiff last week. The biggest uplift in bookings to Manchester came from Norwich with a 115 per cent increase, Leeds with 107 per cent and Aberdeen with 98 per cent. Sarah Helppi, UK Country Director at Trainline, said: “Rock’n’ rail is a perfect combination. Thousands of music fans are travelling by train to be part of an iconic summer moment. If you’re joining the tour in the band’s hometown, book as soon as possible to secure a seat.”

One fan travelling from London, Erin Archer, said: “My boyfriend booked our train to Manchester on Trainline as soon as we got the Oasis tickets—it was all done in minutes. It’s made the whole thing feel so easy and stress-free.

“Now we can just look forward to the gig, enjoy the build-up, and soak up every second of Oasis back in their hometown!” But that’s not the only warning fans have been given. Temperatures across Manchester are expected to soar on Friday and Saturday when the legendary band are playing, which will no doubt create a biblical atmosphere.

Experts suggest that thermometers are set to hit almost 30 degrees this weekend. Currently, the chance of rain stands at less than 5 per cent across the entire weekend. The Met Office states that Friday, temperatures could hit as high as 27 degrees at its peak around 4pm, while the lowest, at 4am will be 15 degrees. At 1pm, there will be an orange warning, signifying a level 7 exposure of UV, meaning those in attendance will require sunscreen.

But as the gig comes to an end, the temperature will drop slightly to a more moderate 22 degrees. On Saturday, for the second sold-out show, the weather will continue to pick up and shows signs that it will not be cooling down any time soon.

Instead, the lowest temperature at 4am, will be 18degrees, while the peak, between 4pm and 7pm will be 27 degrees. Despite the staggering temperatures, the highest UV warning will be at 1pm, which is a level 7. The BBC says of the upcoming weather on Friday: “Friday should then be dry with sunshine throughout the day. Becoming very warm or hot.”

Oasis will perform at Heaton Park on July 11, 12, 16, 19 and 20. Marco Petagna, senior meteorologist at the Met Office, explained that the weather will start to turn balmy on Wednesday, with dry conditions returning after several areas were plunged under thunderstorm warnings last night. The expert said: “I think Wednesday is probably going to be the day when we could start to reach the thresholds of 25 to 28 degrees, depending on where you are.”

He added: “We probably won’t actually reach an official heatwave until around Friday, to give the three consecutive days at those temperatures. But temperatures are going to continue to climb as we go toward the end of the week, and certainly, by Friday and Saturday, we could see 30 degrees, perhaps just nudging into the low 30s.

“At the weekend, we could just start to see humidity increasing a little bit as well and nighttime temperatures look like they are going to be, so it will be starting to become more uncomfortable by night. It’s a bit of a question mark going through the weekend early next week as to how long the heat will last and how high the temperatures will get because some models are sort of pushing the heat away a bit more quickly, whereas others keep the heat going.

“At this stage, it looks as though certainly into next weekend, we should hold on to hot weather across the south of the UK, and temperatures could again certainly get into the low 30s in a few spots.”

Kris Jenner, 69, shows off another wildly different look after ‘£73,000 facelift’

The matriarch of the Kardashian-Jenner family, Kris Jenner, showed off her new look in France’s capital as she enjoyed a date with longterm boyfriend Corey Gamble

Kris Jenner stepped out in Paris on Monday sporting a brand new style. The Kardashian-Jenner family matriarch, 69, has opted to switch up her look, shifting away from her usual pixie cut.

Kris was in the French capital with her boyfriend Corey Gamble when she showed off her longer fringed bob look. Giving 70s vibes, the new style complemented the reality star’s new facelift.

Wearing a fitted long-sleeved black dress with a statement collar, Kris held on to a small black Hermès handbag for her trip out. She paired the looked with open-toed black heels, while her man also opted for a black outfit of his own.

#The outing comes after she publicly thanked her surgeon a decade after having a facelift. She followed daughter Kylie Jenner in admitting her surgery. While Kylie has opened up about her boob job op in 2018, mum Kris quickly thanked the surgeon for his work on her too.

Following Kylie’s endorsement on Instagram, Dr Garth Fisher thanked the star. He wrote: “I’m honoured to be acknowledged by Kylie—her kind words were unexpected but truly appreciated.

“Patient confidentiality has always been the foundation of my practice. Over 3 decades, we’ve never had a single breach. My entire team is thoroughly trained and bound by strict NDAs and confidentiality agreements. This is more than policy—it’s our culture.”

He went on to reference HIPAA (patient privacy) laws and why he will never discuss a client’s procedures without their permission, adding: “Every patient is unique. This isn’t ‘cookbook’ surgery—it’s thoughtful, personalised care.”

And in the comments section to his message of thanks, Kris also said: “”Garth you are such a superstar class act. You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it’s like and not be afraid…

“You have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!”

And the latest of the Keeping Up With The Kardashians star’s procedures is said to have been “riskier” than others. The momager’s rep had confirmed to Page Six that she underwent aesthetic enhancements from a plastic surgeon, Dr. Steven Levine, before her 70th birthday.

While it wasn’t confirmed exactly what procedures she underwent, some have claimed she underwent a deep place facelift. Others, though, think it could be a regular SMAS procedure. Dr Norman Rowe recently explained the differences between the two procedures, saying how they can range from five to six figure sums to complete.

Speaking about the risks, he said to The Sun: “I think, honestly, still, the majority of people out there doing facelifts are probably doing SMAS. It’s still kind of like the go-to technique.

“It ultimately depends on the surgeon’s comfort in doing that deep plane to that point. I’ll be honest, it is a little bit more risky than, say, a SMAS.”

He added to the publication: “The only way to know [what Kris had done] is to look at her five or 10 years from now. If she still looks good, it’s probably a deep plane … if she starts to show little signs of aging. Probably wasn’t.”
