Leigh-Anne Pinnock has opened up about how “heartbroken” she was after “losing trust” in her relationship, following a “betrayal” from her husband, Andre Gray.
The former Little Mix star married footballer Andre in 2023 and shares two twin children with him, but has now admitted that things in their relationship haven’t always been rosy. Instead, Andre, who “wanted to change”, went to therapy so that they could work on their romance.
Talking to Paloma Faith on her Mad Sad Bad podcast, Leigh-Anne said she and Andre “went through a weird time” where he “hurt” her. She said: “I went through a bit of a weird time with my husband actually and I think that sort of not being totally honest and losing trust and that kind of betrayal – I think like heartbreak is wild.

“It’s awful and especially someone that you’re so madly in love with and that they can hurt you.” She added that Andre had moved abroad to Greece to play for Aris Thessaloniki but realised he was being “selfish” and went to therapy to change.
Leigh-Anne said, “I think that person needs to want to change, and he did.” And I believe that you can go through a relationship if the other party isn’t willing to.
They must carry out the work, and they must turn things around because, once more, it’s not your turn. He attended therapy, and I believe that for us, it was the best thing.
He began playing abroad, and he realized that everything he was doing was not how a relationship should work, because it was more leisurely. It is egotistical.
Leigh-Anne has previously criticized Andre for “breaking her heart.” She shared in a video that was uploaded to TikTok in June 2024 that she learned that he had committed a crime that she found heartbreaking. She continued, “She learned the power of forgiveness,” in a conversation with Paloma.
I was taught the power of pardon, she said. The person who broke my heart went above and beyond to make a change for me because he is still there. It makes it worthwhile, in my opinion, if you can actually get to the other side and survive.
“Some people might say, “Oops, why are you still with them,” Or why do you continue to give them a chance? I suppose that can be seen as a weakness and putting your own needs before others, but I believe you alone are capable of discerning what is truly yours.
She concluded by stating that forgiveness for someone can be “healing” and that it is acceptable. According to Leigh-Anne, it is acceptable to give someone another chance, but it is not acceptable to let someone abuse you.
Make sure you have those barriers in place so you can protect yourself and determine when enough is enough. Being hurt helps to sort of make that armor up, like, “I’m not going through that again.” Don’t think of forgiveness as a weak action; it can be very healing and effective.
Noel Gallagher says he would like to play a villain in the next 007 film and would happily write the next Bond song if asked.
The Oasis rocker, 58, also said that any track for the next instalment should be performed by a British artist. Asked how he would respond if Barbara Broccoli phoned him up, Gallagher said: “I’d say ‘all right Babs’… for Oasis to do it?
“Alright, yes, that would be an honor, I know. I believe Brits should handle those things, not Yanks, as you may well know.
In response to rumors that the band was on Amazon’s wishlist, he also stated that he had not been asked. He joked on TalkSport with Andy Goldstein that he would be interested in playing the role of a “Mancunian villain” in the movie, though.

Noel has previously stated that he wanted to write a Bond song. He once said, “I’ve written a few Bond theme songs.”
“I would have to adjust the title accordingly because they don’t have very Bond-like titles. I listened to the most recent one and said, “F***ing hell man, that’d make a f***ing great Bond theme.”
Lead guitarist Noel recently wrapped up the highly anticipated Oasis Live 25 reunion world tour alongside brother Liam, 53, and their bandmates.
It came almost 15 years after the band’s dramatic breakup as a result of a conflict between the siblings. Who will play the iconic secret agent and who will be in charge of the 007 theme song is yet to be announced for the film.
Artists who have lent their voices to the blockbusters in recent years include Adele with Skyfall (2012), Billie Eilish with No Time To Die (2020) and Madonna with Die Another Day (2002). Broccoli and fellow producer Michael G Wilson have stepped away after handing over creative control to Amazon MGM studios as part of a lucrative deal, with the pair remaining as co-owners of the franchise.
Since the first 007 movie, Dr. No, in 1962, members of the Broccoli family had been in charge of the official franchise on their own or through a partnership with others.
Steven Knight, a 65-year-old British screenwriter, made the announcement in August that the next movie would be written.
Oasis is credited with producing songs like Wonderwall, Live Forever, Shakermaker, and Half the World Away.

Tehran, Iran – As the government’s efforts to contain the country’s deteriorating economic situation fail, louder protests are being recorded all over Iran as a result of the government’s growing deployment of armed security personnel.
In the city of Abdanan in the central province of Ilam, where several significant demonstrations have occurred in the past week, footage that was available online showed massive demonstrations on Tuesday night.

While helicopters flew overhead, footage of countless people chanting and walking through the streets of the small city, from children to the elderly. The security forces working to contain them appeared to be far more powerful than the protesters.
Videos of security forces storming the Imam Khomeini Hospital in Ilam, the capital of the province, showed protesters being arrested and detained, which rights group Amnesty International claimed was in violation of international law. This again demonstrates how far the Iranian authorities are willing to go to thwart dissent.
Following earlier this week’s protests in the county of Malekshahi, where several demonstrators were shot dead while gathering at a military base’s entrance, the hospital was targeted. Some protesters received hospital treatment.
People were reportedly sprayed with live fire and thrown to the ground as they fled from the gate, according to several graphic videos that were available online at the time of the shooting. The shooting is being looked into, according to the local governor.
At least three people were killed, according to state-linked media. A police officer was shot dead following armed clashes following the funeral procession of the dead protesters, according to them on Tuesday.
In Tehran, videos of traders and business owners clashing with security forces while using tear gas and batons at the Grand Bazaar were abundant.
In the bazaar, people could be heard yelling “freedom” and yelling “dishonorable” at police. When confronted by security forces, a man yelled, “Execute me if you want, I’m not a rioter,” to the cheers and clapping of the crowd.
In his first statement following the protests this week, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei remarked that rioters should be “put in their place.”
Chief Justice Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei continued, “We will show no mercy to rioters this time.”
Similar tense events took place in nearby streets and neighbourhoods, where shopkeepers had initially started the protests on December 28. On Tuesday, protests and strikes in a number of Tehran’s other major shopping centers, including Yaftabad, where police were confronted with the words “Neither Gaza nor Lebanon, my life for Iran” were loud.
The Iranian government is accused of supporting armed groups in Lebanon and Gaza.
The Tehran University of Medical Science confirmed in a statement that the tear gas canisters filmed inside the hospital compound were not thrown by security forces, despite the fact that more clashes were documented around Tehran’s Sina Hospital.
In addition, protests took place in the cities of Hamedan, Kermanshah in the west, Mashhad in the northeast, Qazvin in the south of the capital, Shahrekord in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari in the southwest, and Lorestan and Kermanshah in the west, and Mashhad in the northeast.
At least 35 people have been killed in the protests so far, according to a foreign-based human rights monitor who is opposed to Iran’s theocracy. Al Jazeera was unable to independently verify any of the Iranian state’s casualty reports.
One of the highest inflation rates in the world is still in place, especially given the constant rising costs of essential food items.
The moderate President Masoud Pezeshkian’s government claims to be carrying out plans to control the economic situation while a rapid decline is roiling.
The rial, the nation’s tense currency, was priced at more than 1.47 million US dollars on Tuesday in Tehran’s open market, breaking a new record-breaking low that demonstrated a lack of public and investor confidence.
The Iranian middle class, which has seen its purchasing power decline since 2018, when the US unilaterally renounced a 2015 nuclear deal and reimposed severe sanctions, has seen its price increase by far the sharpest price increase this week. It has more than tripled and fallen further out of reach of the depressed Iranian middle class.
The development comes after Pezeshkian released a budget for the upcoming Iranian calendar year that eliminated a subsidised currency rate for some imports, including food, in late March.
The decision to eliminate the rent-distributing subsidised currency rate in an effort to combat corruption has been praised by some economists, especially given that the less expensive currency has only been used and has failed to lower food prices.
The decision was anticipated to cause prices to rise in the near future and provoke opposition from establishment interest groups that have profited from the low currency for years. However, it is still to be seen whether the market will listen as the government announces official prices of its own because the oil price spike was so abrupt.
The government has offered to allocate 10 million rials ($7 at the current exchange rate) to help people buy food by using the resources that will be freed from the cheaper, subsidised currency.
Homayoun Shajarian and Alireza Ghorbani, two well-known singers, joined the ranks of numerous online celebrities and people who pledged to end their professional responsibilities, including attending scheduled concerts, in a solemn vigilance and show their support for the protests.
How are our officials supposed to sleep? a video interview that went viral on Tuesday, asked Iranian football legend Ali Daei, who is regarded as a revered national figure among the people.
