It comes after the news the news that the Michelle Keegan-led BBC series Ten Pound Poms has been axed and would not be renewed for a third season. But a source claims exclusively to OK! that, though disappointed, former Corrie star Michelle will be making the most of having more time off – and not having to fly to the other side of the world for long periods – as it means more quality time with husband Mark and their daughter Palma.

“With Michelle, her career is everything. She loves her family and absolutely loves being a mother, but that doesn’t mean she’s not gutted that Ten Pound Poms has been cancelled,” the source claims. “Despite that, she’s definitely found more balance since having Palma, and Mark is always so supportive, so she isn’t complaining.”

The damage to her car comes eight months after she and husband Mark Wright ‘s £3.5million Essex home was targeted by four masked burglars while they were still inside.

Mark yelled, prompting the gang to flee empty-handed in a getaway car. Police were also alerted via the state-of-the-art security system, and arrived at the mansion within minutes. Mark, 38, and Michelle were said to be relieved but “very shaken up” by the ordeal.

Hollywood great Diane Keaton died of pneumonia, her family has said today.

Heartbroken relatives paid tribute to the actress, best known for her role as Kay Adams in The Godfather and collaborations with Woody Allen, in an emotional statement this morning following her death aged 79. They celebrated Diane’s huge love for animals and nature.

But the respect also confirmed Diane, who won an Oscar for Allen’s influential film Annie Hall, passed away following a short battle with pneumonia. The poignant tribute reads: “The Keaton family are very grateful for the extraordinary messages of love and support they have received these past few days on behalf of their beloved Diane, who passed away from pneumonia on October 11.

“She loved her animals and she was steadfast in her support of the unhoused community, so any donations in her memory to a local food bank or an animal shelter would be a wonderful and much appreciated tribute to her.”

Following Diane’s death on Saturday in California, a string of actors and directors, including Goldie Hawn, Bette Midler, Paul Feig and Ben Stiller, remembered the actress, whose career spanned more than five decades.

The family’s tribute is one of the latest in a string of heartbreaking words celebrating Diane’s life. One friend has also paid their respects, praising Diane’s “strength and spirit”. However, they added the star’s health had “declined very suddenly” and was “heartbreaking for everyone who loved her.”

They told People: “It was so unexpected, especially for someone with such strength and spirit. In her final months, she was surrounded only by her closest family, who chose to keep things very private. Even longtime friends weren’t fully aware of what was happening.”

The Los Angeles Fire Department responded to reports of a “person down” at Diane’s residence around 8am on Saturday. The Godfather actress had been transported to a nearby hospital by ambulance where she was later pronounced dead.

After the news emerged, American filmmaker Francis Ford Coppola, who knew the charismatic performer, said: “Words can’t express the wonder and talent of Diane Keaton. Endlessly intelligent, so beautiful.

“From her earliest performances in ‘Hair’ and throughout her amazing career, she was an extraordinary actor. I saw her in the film ‘Lovers and Other Strangers’ and knew I had to have her play Kay in The Godfather, (which she told me she based on my wife Ellie) and her wonderful work in ‘Annie Hall’ while simultaneously setting a new fashion trend. Everything about Diane was creativity personified.”

Diane made her film debut in 1970’s Lovers And Other Strangers but shot to fame in 1972 after playing Kay, the girlfriend and then wife of Al Pacino’s Michael Corleone in Coppola’s The Godfather – a role which she reprised in 1974’s The Godfather Part II and 1990’s The Godfather Part III.

She went on to have a long career as a film actress, appearing in Father Of The Bride, The Family Stone, Something’s Gotta Give and The Book Club movies. Her final films were Summer Camp and Arthur’s Whisky in 2024, and it appears she had not started filming anything else.

Freddie Flintoff has told how his two-year-old son wouldn’t go near him after his horror Top Gear crash.

The former professional cricketer, 47, said he became “a snappy mess” following the smash which happened during filming for the BBC One programme at Dunsfold Aerodrome near Cranleigh, Surrey. The three-wheeled Morgan supercar overturned on the track and Freddie, who played cricket for England for 11 years, dragged his face along the ground, cutting open the side of his nose, cheek and lips, and shattering his jawbone and teeth.

But he has spoken this week of how traumatic the mental injuries were, revealing for the first time how the ordeal impacted his children. Freddie, who had PTSD following the accident, said: “(After the crash) I would get snappy and angry.

“The kids were incredible… It was the younger one, Preston, because he would have been about two, two and a half, at the time and he wouldn’t come near me to begin with because I was a mess.”

Top Gear was shelved following the crash, and Freddie reportedly received £9m in compensation from BBC Studios, who make the show. Yet, the star has spoken since at how the experience changed his life, including how he wouldn’t leave his home – except for medical appointments – for six to eight months in the wake of it.

But the former fast bowler, a Lancashire Cricket Club legend, has now said he is on the road to recovery, to a great extent thanks to wife Rachael Wools, whom he wed in March 2005.

Speaking on Piers Morgan Uncensored, Freddie said: “I have flashbacks and nightmares, but I’ve probably got more of an acceptance of them now.

“I suppose that the biggest thing it did do, was brought me back to cricket. Family and friends and cricket have been things that now, have probably helped me more than anything. It’s all good now. But Rachael was strong. I suppose she had to be for both of us.”

Freddie, originally from Preston, Lancashire, has returned to TV work in recent months too. A second series of Freddie’s Field of Dreams – in which he creates a brand-new cricket team with a group of promising teens and inspires a fresh generation – aired on the BBC in 2024. The BBC has given the green light for a third series, it is understood.

And the dad was chosen to front the revival of game show Bullseye, which returned as a trial on Christmas Day last year on ITV. It became so popular ITV commissioned Bullseye for a full series, which is set to broadcast before the year is out.
