Kelvin Fletcher, an actor, farmer, and sporadic racing driver, is best known as the Strictly Come Dancing champion of the 2019 season. If fate hadn’t intervened, he might have enjoyed a much more prominent career in Hollywood.
Before the Covid-19 pandemic, Kelvin and his wife, Liz Marsland, who is also an actor, had made the move to California, they had been planning to relocate.
Kelvin stated on the Country Life podcast that “we were actually planning on moving to America.” “That was the chapter we needed to move on.”
According to Kelvin, he and Liz wanted to pursue the “hollywood dream” as actors.
However, his dream changed to “Unfortunately, the pandemic came, and I think we were unable to do that, but I think subconsciously we were still ready and set on something different.”
It turned out to be moving to the Peak District and purchasing a farm as a result. Kelvin didn’t know much about farming despite his extensive Emmerdale career: “The irony is that I played a farmer for 20 years in a fictional TV show, but ultimately we were what the industry would view as a new entrant.
What if, we wondered? Is it possible for us to live that way? “
He claims that he and Liz were quite interested in walking before we decided to start the farm as “townies,” as “he and Liz didn’t initially think about it doing it commercially.
However, allowing TV cameras inside their home to document their dramatic lifestyle change was their biggest and riskiest choice.
Kevin joked, “I believe they always say in the show business, don’t work with children, don’t work with animals.” Don’t work with your partner, add a third rule, I suppose.
He acknowledged that the idea had some drawbacks: “I think to invite a camera crew into our home because it’s very sacred.
He claims that while his private life is always ” kept safe,” his previous on-camera roles included playing a role.
We’re still on a journey of discovery, despite the fact that I’m confident in that arena and suddenly be myself in those circumstances. It feels naive at times because we’re three years into becoming farmers, if you like.
Kelvin goes on to say that the experience can be “surprising” at times, and that feeling of vulnerability is possible as well. You and your family are doing that.
He concludes that his years in the Peak District have changed his attitudes to a great many things: “It’s affected our lives in a sense of our food choices, our understanding of nature, of the world, of the family dynamic, of life — what’s important, the ability that we all do try and be present.
Katie Price, the mother-of-five and the subject of numerous cosmetic procedures and operations, has sparked controversy among fans after posting a picture of worrying “humps” on her forehead.

Katie Price has shared another worrying update about the side effects of her cosmetic treatments, as she showed her followers a series of “humps” on her forehead. She posted the selfie on her Instagram Stories, which showed multiple bumps above her eyebrows, with the largest one in the centre of her head.
Adding to her fans’ concerns about her health and well-being, she shared a video on Snapchat, on which she can be seen before she had Botox. A number of black marker dots were drawn on her head to guide her injector.
Before her next Snapchat video appeared, Katie declared to her followers, “I’ve moved on.” She continued, “At the moment, it appears like I have humps on my face, my “lovely lady lumps”.”
The 47-year-old cites the lyrics as she addresses the audience and chose Black Eyed Peas’ “My Humps” to play over the video. She had previously joked that she had not had one of her recent facelifts and invited fans along for her Botox appointment.

She recorded herself getting her injection areas marked out while sitting in the clinic’s chair. She joked as she looked at the camera, “So here I am, no, not a facelift, Botox,”
She said, “Look, that’s me frowning,” as she demonstrated the amount of movement her forehead had before being injected. I am aware that I need to remove my eyebrows.
Katie’s injector instructed her to raise her brows, but as she had the marks placed on her forehead, she appeared agitated. She asked the aesthetician, “F***ing hell, how many needles are you putting in there, my girl?”
Katie, a mother-of-five who has body dysmorphia, said, “Oh, I look so ugly. But I’ll look good in a few days.
Temporary lumps, which usually disappear on their own after a few days and can be treated with ice, are a common side effect of Botox injections. Clients are advised not to lie down, massage, or rub the treated area for at least four hours after receiving treatment in order to reduce their exposure.
Following the release of another new look in Katie’s constantly evolving aesthetic, fans were enraged by her transformative face. Despite the former glamour model sporting a wig that was actually more in line with her natural hair, it wasn’t a permanent change.
Celebrity hairstylist Dominic Ackah-Amihere created the custom-made hairpiece, and the talented artist unveiled the brand-new aesthetic on Friday. He stated in an Instagram post, “We had three minutes to put this on and conceal 26 inches of hair.”
One enraged fan said, “OMG, I genuinely thought this was a picture of Jesy Nelson,” as fans flocked to let their emotions be known. Katie looks incredible, I mean. She’s always had curly hair, and now it’s nice to see her embrace that, another person said. Thirdly, “I did not believe that was Katie at first sight,” she continued.
Katie’s dependence on cosmetic procedures and tweaks is not likely to be abating. She previously claimed to be a fan of the “plastic look” and believes that body dysmorphia is what gave her to love surgery. I never look in the mirror and believe I look good, like Katie used to say. Never have done, ever. There is obviously a root cause.

Since her split from Orlando Bloom in July, many believed Katy Perry had moved on after being spotted out and about in Canada with politician Justin Trudeau. But at the time, the pair remained tight-lipped about the status of their relationship – until now.
After being spotted holding hands as they left the Paris Crazy Horse venue, Katy and Justine have finally made it known that they are dating.

A source reported to a source who claimed Katy was “really into” Justin because they appeared to have developed a strong bond.
Katie is really into it, the source told the publication at the time. She is very content. They have spent a lot of time together in private, and she is trying to keep things under control. She is not attempting to make this relationship known.
Their friends believe they would make a good match, but he hasn’t spoken to many of her friends yet, they continued.
After attending one of her concerts in Montreal, Canada, the pair were first spotted looking cozy while dining out with friends in Montreal.
After a joint statement was made two months after they were last seen together in public as a couple, it was officially confirmed that Katy and Orlando had split in July of this year.
Daisy Dove, a five-year-old daughter, is a joint the pair have.
Orlando and Katy have been relocating their relationship over the past few months to concentrate on coparenting, according to the statement. Their shared goal is and always will be raising their daughter in love, stability, and mutual respect. They will always be seen as a family.
The pair split a year after their initial romance, but their relationship has had its fair share of ups and downs. However, after their reunification in 2018, Katy and Orlando reconnected, and things started to move very quickly. By the time their engagement announcement and daughter arrival were complete.

Expect a relaxed appearance given the large size range and cozy feel. The black color “hides a lot” and holds up in the washing machine.
Tess Daly, a member of Strictly Come Dancing, said that her time spent consuming “consumes a lot” of her time. Just days before she announced she is leaving the show, she announced.

Earlier this week, Strictly Come Dancing presenter Tess Daly announced that the current series of the show will be her last after “21 wonderfully joyful years”. The 56-year-old has been fronting the competition since its inception in 2004, firstly co-hosting with Bruce Forsyth followed by Claudia Winkleman.
Tess and Claudia stepped aside in a video with her co-star on Wednesday that stated it was time to “pass the baton on.”
Many fans have been left wondering why Tess made such a rumored salary of £150, 000 for her Strictly role.
Some people may not be aware that the presenter spends a lot of her time away from the cameras.
With her best friend Gayle Lawton, Tess co-owns the swimwear line Naia Beach, which was launched in 2021.
She recently shared her four-year venture with us, saying, “That’s my other baby, the business, and that requires me to work long hours every day, first thing in the morning, and last thing at night.
It grows and doesn’t sleep. And [I love building a business with my best friend, which is] really exciting] is] getting creative.
“But, it does consume a lot of my time. So I’m usually doing that, it’s wonderful,” she added, in a discussion with Giovanna Fletcher on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast.
Tess continued, “It’s enjoyable, you know, its really satisfying but that takes up most of my time.”
The Strictly star is a mother to daughters Amber and Phoebe, both of whom are businesswomen and presenters.
Tess shares her children with her long-term husband Vernon Kay, who fronts the mid-morning show on BBC Radio 2.
The presenter’s family life has very much been a part of her time on Strictly Come Dancing.
Tess returned to work for the second series of the show just six weeks after the birth of the pair’s first child.
I returned six weeks after giving birth. Because I was a new mother, that was no mean feat. She shared that she had a caesarean.
The caesarean, which is a pretty major operation, worked out really well in terms of timing.
However, being a new mother for the first six weeks after giving birth presented some challenges for me, including not knowing what I was doing and not sleeping very well.
The odds are that Tess might sign up for her first reality series, Celebrity Traitors, after she announced her exit.
Although it was rumored that she and Vernon would be performing on Claudia’s show last year, Tess later claimed this never happened.
She recently told The Metro that “She]Claudia] knows I’d be able to read her mind.” I’d be terrible at playing poker and being a traitor.
Previously insisting this was true, Vernon said on Good Morning Britain: “Tess always laughs when she tells a fib, whereas I’m terrible.
“It’s not convincing. I think it would be an interesting psychological experience, The Traitors.”
Although there are reports that she and her ex-husband Ray Fensome were going through a bitter divorce, Coleen Nolan herself has spoken out.

Coleen Nolan of Loose Women insists that she and her ex-husband are “best friends.” The report comes just days after it was reported that the TV star and Ray Fensome, who she split from in 2018, went through a “bitter” divorce. But Blackpool-born Coleen insists this couldn’t be further from the truth.
Ray, a musician, recently appeared on Loose Women during their groundbreaking mental health-inspired programme, playing guitar in the Loose band. “Before the programme had even finished, there was a story online about how Ray had been offered a full-time job at Loose Women, even though we had a terrible divorce,” Coleen told the Mirror.
The speculation, the 60-year-old explains, can be “really frustrating”, adding, “I don’t know why they’ve massively got it in for Loose”. In response to persistent rumors about heated debates and toxic behavior in the show’s background, Coleen retorts defiantly, “On my children’s lives, that’s just not true. It isn’t accurate. We are exactly like how we are on-screen.
” There are moments when you go, ‘ You’re getting on my nerves, now, ‘ and I love that because we’re like sisters, it never lasts. It’s unfortunate. There isn’t anything like it, and we’ve accomplished so many wonderful things in Loose. “Each day, she says with a sigh, panellists are subjected to some kind of trolling on social media, be it about their appearance or opinions. And as Coleen admits, she can be bothered by it.
It’s unfortunate that they are trying to beat it down, which is typically women. Women should be championing women! Social media, however, has the bottle cracked. Only if it will seriously hurt people, when I’m drawn to trolls. It’s ridiculous. According to Coleen, “Coleen says she rarely feels any bias against the male panellists based on their looks or subjects.” It comes out as soon as it’s women. It’s bizarre, “she adds.
There are still parts of Coleen’s life that she hesitates to share on-air despite having grown up in one of the country’s most well-known singing families. I don’t share personal matters until they are somewhat settled, including my breakups from my husbands. Not Shane]Richie], because we’d already broken up before I started Loose Women – that’s how I got on Loose Women.
“But with Ray, there were a couple of years before I actually came out and talked about it. It’s unfair on the other person because I’m always aware of them. When it’s all said and done, I’ll say, “Yes, it was a difficult couple of years, but not while we’re going through it; it was also difficult for him.”
Coleen is the first to admit she’s a “great talker” and would rather share than keep things bottled up – but reveals her brutal honesty has sometimes got her into tricky situations at home. After discussing marriage and family on Loose, she says, “Sometimes, I’ve come home silent.” I tell them, “Look, I do a show, and I’m going to talk about it if a topic about kids or divorce comes up.”
Singing and performing from the age of two, Coleen – who moved to a six-acre farm in Dilhorne, Staffordshire, in 2024 to fulfil her dream of being surrounded by animals in the countryside – admits that she doesn’t feel much like a “celebrity”.
“I think people have a certain impression of celebrities, and I’m not that. I’m not at every red-carpet event. I’m happiest at home, covered in horse poo and taking the dogs for a walk! And as far as being open, I’d rather be that way – I don’t think the public are stupid. If you go on air and deliver a fake persona, which a lot do, it’s hard to live up to.”
Her older sisters Maureen, Anne, and Denise recently performed The Nolans’ biggest hits on stage, but Coleen says she is unprepared for the band’s return, aside from the occasional family gathering or one-time performance.
As a family, the Nolans have suffered devastating heartache, not least, the deaths of Bernie in 2013 and Linda in January of this year, both after courageously battling cancer right until the end. Coleen admits that going without them would be too strange.
Without Bernie and Linda, I couldn’t go on a tour. Bernie was the lead singer, and Linda was a force to be reckoned with. I would miss them way too much. The four of us wouldn’t feel the same when we actually performed.
Heartbreakingly, Coleen reveals that her two sisters gave the family strict rules when they first fell ill. “I remember Bernie saying to me, ‘ I’ll give you two weeks to cry and cry a lot because I’m worth it, but then, shut up and get back out there. ‘ That is what I recall. The same Linda existed. If they can be that strong when they went through what they went through, I have no right to hide under a duvet”.
She adds that Coleen and her family were greatly comforted by the public’s outpouring of love as they battled both setbacks. “It meant so much to us and it makes me so sad for people that haven’t got that. Some people have to deal with those situations alone, perhaps without a family. I was so appreciative of it. It really helped, a lot. The Blackpool Tower, when Linda passed away, didn’t tell us when they turned it pink the next day. It was very emotional.
Coleen says talking about grief on the show can be tough. It’s sometimes difficult because you have to go out, smile, and put on a face. I started therapy after Linda’s passing because I found it to be very difficult for a while. I really struggled to get back on the horse. However, life goes on, and your bills always seem to be paying. I don’t know how I would have felt if I had been a multimillionaire; that’s why I needed therapy; I needed a logical person to explain things to me. I needed someone I could cry openly with. Because my family was going through their own pain, I didn’t want to cry in front of them.
Grief is something that Coleen is still coming to terms with, as she reveals how, like many people, it hits her out of the blue, leaving her heartbroken all over again. But most recently, Coleen has found joy on her farm, which she documents on her own YouTube channel, adding that she would “absolutely” love to do a family reality show. “I did pitch it to a lot of channels,” she confesses. “I’m probably the wrong age and size for them. I don’t fit the criteria.”
However, there are still many options open. Next year, Coleen is on the road again for This Is Me, her second solo tour, promising a night of laughter, stories, surprises – and even a song or two. “I’m really excited!” Because I haven’t yet put it together, I’m a little anxious. I’m at that stage where I’m having sleepless nights thinking about how we’re going to do it”!
Fans who had forgotten Coleen was a singer first contacted her after her recent performance on Loose Women. She says, “I very rarely sing any more,” and that all I’ve ever done is realize that’s what I was born to do. It’s nice to be able to do both on this tour. I want to ask the audience questions and answers, have fun, and then interject my life story with songs.
She’s “scared” of the stories his older son, musician Shane Nolan, may spill, and she’s excited to see him play. “When we did the last tour, Shane was my support, then came on during my set. Because he is my son, I can tell him to shut up because I’m comfortable with him”! she asserts.
“He knows me and I know him, we’ve got the exact same sense of humour, and he’s such an entertainer”.
