During Tuesday’s episode of Good Morning Britain, Charlotte Hawkins brought a little bit of fun and joy to the news day with her colourful leopard print midi dress. Fans were quick to praise the look on Instagram, with one viewer writing: “So stunning lovely dress.”

Fans of Charlotte’s dress will be pleased to know it not only won’t break the bank, but it’s also still in stock in all sizes. The Love & Roses Purple Animal Puff Sleeve Midi Dress is just £59 at Next, and you can still snap it up in sizes eight to 22, as well as petite and regular lengths.

The dress blends shades of pink, red, blue and purple with a bold leopard print pattern from head to toe. It’s also the perfect dress for autumn, with long sleeves and a midi hemline that’ll keep you warm and cosy, but a more lightweight fabric that’s breezy and stops you from getting too hot.

As well as bringing some colour and playfulness to your wardrobe, the Purple Animal Midi Dress has a wonderfully flattering fit. It nips in around the waist with volume around the bust, and skims out over your hips and tummy for an easy and comfortable silhouette. Voluminous sleeves also add a little balance and drama to the dress without being too over the top.

You could just as easily pair the Purple Animal Midi Dress with a pair of heels and a clutch bag for formal events, or style it with trainers or ballet flats for a more casual look. You could even wear it with some knee high boots and a blazer or coat for the office, making it something that’s going to work mega hard in your wardrobe.

For a similar look, you could pick up Scamp & Dude’s Pink Leopard Blouson Sleeve Midi Dress for £66 (down from £110), with Alison Hammond spotted wearing a similar dress from the brand recently. Also on sale is Whistles’ Mottled Leopard Midi Dress which is now £65 down from £169, and has a flattering wrap dress style that belts at the waist.

Finally at Boden is the Alexandra Jersey Midi Dress which was originally priced at £99 but is now £69.30. Rather than leopard print it features an all-over heart print that mirrors animal print, and comes in a bottle green and navy colourway for something a little more subtle.

However at Next, the Love & Roses Purple Animal Puff Sleeve Midi Dress has an almost perfect rating of 4.8 out of 5 stars, with one saying the dress is: “Very comfortable and classy.”

Another wrote: “A lovely dress with a comfortable fit. Nice fabric and beautiful colours. Would benefit from a back tie to cinch it in a little.”

Whilst a third agreed: “Very flattering, fits perfectly, so feminine.”

The only non-five star review still granted the dress four stars, and wrote: “Pretty, bright print. Good fit and flattering style.”

The actress shares details of their tender moments and the special present he bought her

Elizabeth Hurley says Billy Ray Cyrus spent the summer wooing her with love songs as she lifts the lid on their blossoming romance. From touching romantic gestures to their shared love of nature, actress Liz, 60, details tender moments they shared at her Herefordshire farm as they fell for each other.

She also revealed the sweet gift the country music star bought her for birthday. “He’s definitely more romantic than me; he spent the summer strumming his guitar under a tree, composing love songs as I strimmed and chainsawed around him,” Liz said of their idyllic courtship. “But he gave me a giant tepee for my birthday and we snuggle up in that and it’s extremely romantic.”

Speaking on This Morning today, Liz told Cat Deeley and Ben Shepherd that Achy Braky Heart singer Billy – dad of Miley Cyrus – had written a song about finding happiness with her. “He has written a song,” she said. “I don’t know if it’s about me but it’s for me.”

Liz and Billy, 64, went public with their relationship in April, hard launching their love with an Instagram post of Billy planting a kiss on Liz’s cheek. The pair have been inseparable of recent months and couldn’t keep their hands off each other at last month’s National Television Awards.

”Billy and I have so much hair between us that we’re in constant danger of choking on hair balls,” laughed Bedazzled and Austin Powers actress Liz to Attitude Magazine.

The couple had co-starred in film, Christmas In Paradise, released in 2022 – the same year he divorced wife Tish after almost 20 years. Dad-of-six Billy married singer Firerose, real name Johanna Rose, in 2023 but that was short-lived and ended in divorce less than a year in.

Liz has had a number of high-profile relationship over the years. She dated actor Hugh Grant, was married to Indian businessman Arun Nayar and was engaged to Australian cricketer Shane Warne. She had son, Damian, with film producer Steve Bing.

Damian, 23, is said to be a big fan of Billy’s and has given his seal of approval to his mum’s new man. “Being a parent is all consuming and I wouldn’t have it any other way,” said Liz about motherhood. “I’ve put bringing up baby ahead of everything.

“Billy and I watch birds of prey through our binoculars most days and see them build nests, hunt to feed their babies and then prepare them to go out into the big, bad world and fly solo. While I’m not ripping up squirrels with my talons to feed my son, I would if I had to. There’s nothing like parenthood to bring out the call of the wild.”

Picking up the Honorary Gay Award at Wednesday night’s Virgin Atlantic Attitude Awards at the Roundhouse in Camden, Liz spoke of her pride at being an ally to the community. “You have stuck by me through thick and thin and even when I have been at my absolute lowest ebb it has always been you who have come in like the cavalry and stood by side,” she said accepting the award.

She said she’s always felt at home with the LGBTQ+ community. “A true diva must love sequins, very high heels, 80s disco music and have lots of best gay friends,” she said. “I tick all the boxes. However, I’m relatively low maintenance so I may need to start shouting at people to really join the ranks.”

Other winners on the night included Dannii Minogue, Luke Evans, Gok Wan and Tom Allen. The Williams family accepted the Inspiration Award on behalf of late drag icon The Vivienne. Scissor Sisters performed on the night.

Katie Price has brought another young dog into her life despite being warned by PETA to stop acquiring new pets. The former glamour model is already causing concern for the puppy’s safety

Katie Price has sparked fresh concern among animal lovers after she was spotted almost stepping on her brand-new puppy.

The former glamour model, 47, was seen unloading shopping bags from her car as the tiny pup darted around her feet.

The furball appeared to follow Katie closely as she made her way to the boot of her vehicle, but at one point the star came dangerously close to treading on the little dog.

Despite the puppy’s small size and apparent nervous energy, Katie chose not to keep it on a lead as she crossed the road, allowing it to trot freely behind her instead.

At one point, the pup could be seen snapping playfully at her shopping bags as it raced around her feet, in photos obtained by The Sun. The new addition to the Price family was first introduced on Snapchat earlier this week, when Katie shared a video of the young dog resting on her shoulder.

She gushed over the animal to her followers, saying: “And this little one just does not leave my side. I can’t wait for him to meet Rookie — he’s met all of the other animals. This is Rookie’s new little friend for when we go horse riding, walks, everything.”

The TV personality has yet to reveal the puppy’s name or breed, but its arrival has reignited fierce debate online about her history with animals.

A petition demanding Katie be banned from owning pets has now amassed over 38,000 signatures, following a string of tragic incidents involving her previous animals.

In recent years, several of her pets have died in accidents near her East Sussex home. In June last year, her German Shepherd Blade was hit and killed on the busy A24 — the same road where her Pomeranian Sharon died just months earlier.

The year before that, her Alsatian Queenie was reportedly killed by a pizza delivery driver. In 2020, her French Bulldog Rolo suffocated after getting trapped under an electric armchair. In 2017 her horse also died on the A24 after escaping from a field.

On top of that, she tried to sell her Sphynx cats Dobby and Hagrid for £1,300 each in 2017 because her dogs didn’t get on with them.

She also reportedly fobbed her French Bulldog Precious off on a crew member who was working on her Channel 4 show Mucky Mansion in September 2021.

Animal rights charity PETA has repeatedly condemned Price for her “careless” attitude toward pet ownership. Elisa Allen, the group’s director, said: “Anyone who warns Katie not to hurt the animals she takes in might as well be screaming into the wind, for all she seems to care.”

The charity even offered Katie £5,000 earlier this year if she agreed to sign a contract pledging never to own another animal, insisting “things have gone horribly wrong with many of the animals under her supervision”.

But Katie does not seem to have been deterred by the criticism. She has proudly posted footage of her new pup, including one recent Snapchat video where she added a filter and joked: “This filter is so needed today, I am so tired.”

Jamie Redknapp offered a rare personal insight into the highs and lows of having a blended family, following his high-profile split from singer Louise Redknapp

Jamie Redknapp has made a rare comment about his blended family with his wife Frida Andersson. The football pundit and the Swedish model married and welcomed their first baby together, a son named Raphael, back in 2021.

Jamie’s new relationship came following his highly-publicised split from his ex-wife Louise Redknapp, 50. The former couple, who share sons Charley, 21, and Beau, 16, called it quits after 19 years of marriage in 2017.

Since then, Louise has spoken publicly about their split, while Jamie has largely steered clear of the topic.

Now, in a candid podcast, the 52-year-old has opened up about the highs and lows of having a blended family.

Starting with a rare comment about his second wife, he gushed: “She’s a diamond, she really is,” before going on to describe her as “fiercely competitive”.

Before meeting Jamie, the model was married to hedge fund manager Jonathan Lourie, with whom she has four children.

The couple now enjoy a blended family of seven children between them – but the football pundit admits it’s not always been easy.

Upon telling Charley that Frida was pregnant, Jamie said the news “went down like a lead balloon”, while his other son Beau took it a bit better.

After adapting to the change over time, he said their younger brother Raphael has since become “the glue for everybody”.

“We’ve got seven kids between us,” he said on The Romesh Ranganathan Show. “We’ve got a lot of kids, a lot of moving parts.

“And it’s not always easy, and I’m sure everyone who has done the same, you know the modern term is to blend a family, it’s never going to be that simple, but I like to think we’ve done it pretty well.

“Raphael has definitely been the glue for everybody because you can’t not love him, he’s amazing, he’s hilarious,” he added.

“So with Charley, once he sort of got over that, and I got it, I wouldn’t be disrespectful as he had his own individual feelings, but Beau was a little bit easier, he was a bit younger at the time.

“But I think he [Charley] knew how much I loved Frida, so he was totally fine with it in the end.”

Speaking further about parenting, Jamie insisted he had learned many of his ways from his parents, Harry and Sandra Redknapp.

“You want to be their best mate, but you’ve also got to be tough with them like my dad was with me,” he shared.

“He was very, very, honest and you know, in terms of my relationship with him, it’s as good now as what it’s ever been.”

Meanwhile, Jamie’s ex-wife Louise, who rose to fame in the girl group Eternal, has also been enjoying a new relationship with Drew Michael for the last two years.

Recently opening up about their romance to The Sun, she gushed: “I was very guarded and scared. But I’m really enjoying having special times with someone. He’s a great guy and super-kind.”
