Following the conclusion of her Radical Optimism Tour in Mexico, Dua Lipa has been enjoying some downtime with her fiance, Callum Turner.
Dua Lipa, the pop star, and Callum Turner, his fiancé, have been having a lavish holiday. Following the conclusion of her Radical Optimism Tour in Mexico, the couple made the most of their time and enjoyed a blissful beach break.
The 29-year-old singer, who has been touring extensively and has spent years in the studio, looked as though she was a beach goddess as she lounged in the sunshine in a tiny silver bikini, showcasing her toned figure. As Dua padded across the sand and before settling down on a sun lounger with 34-year-old Callum, she appeared content and carefree.
As he took a break from his phone to spend quality time with Dua, the Fantastic Beasts actor kept things casual in a T-shirt and swim shorts. At one point, Dua and Dua were spotted snuggling up next to each other’s loungers, sharing a tender moment as they leaped in and comforted each other.
The pop star, who just wrapped up the most recent leg of her world tour, wow fans night after night with high-energy performances and daring fashion choices, welcomes a pause with the holiday. Friends have previously claimed that the singer has been “on cloud nine” lately, juggling a busy career and a happy personal life.
Donald Trump’s messages to people this Christmas have left them perplexed, from his phone calls about Santa infiltrating the US on Christmas Eve to his rant about “the Radical Left Scum.”
Although giving Christmas greetings to politicians is not unusual, Donald Trump’s recent speech about Father Christmas has undoubtedly raised some eyebrows.
The North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) used the North American Aerospace Defence Command (NORAD) to track Old Saint Nick’s progress on Christmas Eve by answering phone calls from children eagerly awaiting his arrival.
However, Trump instead harked back to the 2020 presidential election, an event that remains contentious among MAGA supporters, some of whom still mistakenly believe that victory was “stolen” from former President Joe Biden, instead of focusing on the children’s Christmas wishes or whether they had left a carrot out for Rudolph.
Indeed, things grew so heated that a group of Trump supporters stormed the Capitol building on January 6, 2021 to demand that Congress not count the Electoral College votes and declare Biden’s victory official.
Five years later, it seems as though the 79-year-old’s mind is still weighing heavily on his mind, even after his subsequent re-election.

Trump, who lost Pennsylvania in the 2020 election, made the unsupported boast that Pennsylvania is “great.” Speaking with a five-year-old from his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump, who lost Pennsylvania, made the statement. Actually, we won Pennsylvania three times.
The businessman-turned-politician then made another reference to 2020 when another young child was talking about the NORAD Santa tracker. He said, “We follow Santa.” We want to make sure Santa behaves properly. We want to make sure he isn’t a bad Santa and that our country isn’t a bad one. Like I do, Santa loves Oklahoma. You’re right, I had a great election experience with Oklahoma.
Those tuning into the broadcast didn’t exactly find these exchanges heartwarming, taking to social media to share their thoughts on this “cringe” interaction. Taking to X, formerly known as Twitter, one person commented: “Trump is incapable of acting decently, even when speaking to a child…about Santa.”
Another person tweeted, “Always veers toward himself. Even attempts to outdo Santa Claus”! He is destroying Christmas spirit, according to a third author. Where are the “War on Christmas” soldiers currently located? Trump has previously irritated audiences with his Santa Claus discussions.
The president rang a seven-year-old named Coleman in the middle of his first year in the Oval Office to ask, “Are you still a believer in Santa Claus?” He then stated, “Because at 7 it’s marginal, right”?

Trump’s Christmas Eve phone calls weren’t particularly cheerful, but his Christmas Day message also struck a particularly off-key note, criticizing those who he views as “the Radical Left Scum.” Merry Christmas to all, even the Radical Left Scum, who is attempting to destroy our nation but are failing badly, tweeted the official Trump X account.

After having both traveled very different paths to get where they are right now, Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay will tie the knot this weekend in a lavish ceremony held at the magnificent Bath Abbey.

Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay’s wedding day is finally here(Image: Instagram/ @adam_peaty)
As their two drastically different worlds collide, swimmers Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay will perform “I do” at Bath Abbey this weekend.
Adam, the 30-year-old son of a Lidl caretaker and nursery manager, struggled financially as a child, with his family even cutting off holidays to compete in international competitions. As a result of these sacrifices, Adam became known as a swimmer with the most swimming prowess in history and won an Olympic gold medal for the first time.
It may be difficult to relate to 25-year-old Holly’s childhood memories of hand-me-downs and neighbors barging together for gas. Model and influencer Holly, the daughter of renowned chef Gordon Ramsay and estimated to be worth £ 152 million, has raised in a lavish family.
Unfortunately, the rift between these two extraordinarily distant families has become even more acute as a result of this Christmas wedding preparations. When Caroline Peaty, 60, her mother, who is now a millionaire, wasn’t invited to Holly’s swan hen do, people initially thought she might have “might have stuck out a little” among the wealthy and famous guests.
It’s now understood that Caroline has been barred from the big day altogether, with Adam’s sister Caroline being the only Peaty family member in attendance. Here, the Mirror takes a look at Holly and Adam’s polar opposite backgrounds.

Olympic swimmer Adam was born in Staffordshire’s market town of Uttoxeter to nursery manager Caroline and her ex-boyfriend Mark, the youngest of four siblings. Adam had previously discussed his working-class background and the sacrifices his mother had made to help him realize his ambitions in happier times.
Despite holding down a full-time job, she would get up at 4 am every day to drive him to training sessions. The family sacrificed holidays due to their tight financial situation, reports the Mirror. Caroline’s maiden flight was to the Rio Olympics to support her son. “My mum worked on the other side of Stoke, and I trained in Derby. That is a big journey,” Adam previously told the Guardian.
My mother would take me to the pool in Derby at 4:30 am and I would wake up at 4:30 am. God knows, she would drive me home for 50 minutes, wait for me for two hours, then work the rest of the day until 5 p.m., and then work until 5 p.m. Then, after two more hours of waiting, I’ll go back to Derby and pick me up. She wouldn’t arrive home until 8 or 10 pm.
Caroline did some unwell things at once. They were forced to rely on the generosity of friends and family to support Adam in his pursuit of his sport because their finances were tight. She once told the Daily Mail, “He almost gave up swimming because he had enough.” It was very difficult to get him to the early morning sessions because I was a bit ill for a while.
“When he started doing all his national competitions, the petrol costs were really high. Our street all clubbed together, and we used to hold barbecues or Christmas parties. Our neighbours, Angela and Keith, used to organise a raffle and everyone would donate prizes. All the money raised went towards Adam’s swimming. We didn’t have a holiday for four or five years, but everyone was brilliant.”
Despite their financial difficulties, Adam’s family always showed him love and proudly displayed his medals on the curtain pole until they were no longer able to bear them. Because of how little work she did and how tightly the colors fit, his cherished grandma, a former worker at a biscuit factory, was the only one he could rely on to wash his GB kit.
Adam remained a member of the family until his adult years as a result of his move to Loughborough, where he continued to train. He met Eirianedd Munro’s girlfriend at the university there.
George and the couple welcomed their son in 2020, but they split up shortly after. Adam has previously discussed the difficulties of coming from a less wealthy background, and is now rumored to be worth between £ 1 million and £ 4 million. If you don’t come from a wealthy family or a family that has an active sport, you’re going to be severely disadvantaged, he once said.
You face “people with money who can afford physio or therapists,” as an amateur, and these kids arrive with all the equipment. Not everyone has the same rights. But if anything, it strengthened my resolve to maximize what I already had and provide 100% of training.
He addressed the subject of his open-minded interview with the Guardian and how his working-class roots helped him succeed. He said, “I have been driven by suffering since I was a child. Although I am a working-class person, there are millions of other people working in this country.
They cannot afford luxury items because they live paycheck to paycheck. You had to fight for what you had because I had two brothers and one sister and because I was the youngest, so I always had hand-me-downs. But doing so makes you appreciate what you do. I now respect everything, including my home, with all that I have. I can feed my family and enjoy the luxuries if I need them, thanks to my roof.
I want to be the best role model for George to show him that if you want something, you can get it by working hard as a father. Never believe anything will be given to you, and don’t be lazy.
“That’s my upbringing in a nutshell,” I said. Because my parents did a lot for me and gave me so much, I don’t want to sound harsh toward them because I’m fortunate, but there were many more who had spurred me on.
The Ramsay family’s six-year-old son, Gordon and wife Tana, raised a family of six surrounded by unimaginable wealth, so money issues weren’t a problem. The children split their time between a £6.9 million Bel Air mansion, a £7 million Victorian property in London, and a £7.5 million seaside retreat in Cornwall’s most exclusive corner, where they rubbed shoulders with the Beckhams.
Jack, 25, acknowledged in Channel 4’s Born Famous documentary that he would be lost without his privileged lifestyle and was given a £10, 000 Rolex by his father for his 18th birthday. He admitted, “I have lived in a bubble all my life.” Never have I had to fight or defend myself. Without everything I have, I have no idea what I’m like.

Holly was seen accompanying her father to Elton John’s exclusive Oscars viewing party in 2017 and is a frequent attendee at VIP Formula 1 events. They were raised with Gordon’s sister, Yvonne, acting as their nanny, who moved in when the eldest children were young, along with her then 10-year-old daughter, Sophie.

Since their romantic union in August of 2024, Harry Styles and Zoe Kravitz have been together for a holiday in Cheshire, which has heightened engagement rumors.

Harry and Zoe have made a huge decision about their relationship(Image: GoffPhotos.com)
Harry Styles and Zoë Kravitz have made a huge decision as their relationship heats up. The superstar couple spent Christmas Day together with Harry’s family in Cheshire this week.
According to sources, the duo were first spotted on Boxing Day at Rugby Services — en route back to Harry’s Hampstead pad — when they stopped off for snacks during their journey. Onlookers said the pair went largely unrecognised by fellow travellers, dressed casually and blending in.
The pair picked up snacks for the journey without being noticed by other customers, according to a source who spoke exclusively to the Mirror. They could have been any young couples visiting their families because their attire was so casual.

After a festive break with Harry’s mother, Anne Twist, and the family’s home in Cheshire, the sources claim they arrived at the services in Harry’s Audi before continuing their journey south. Although neither of the stars has directly addressed the holiday on their official social media accounts, photos and short clips from fans and paparazzi have been posted online combining them on recent outings in Europe.
The couple hasn’t shared formal Instagram or X, formerly known as Twitter, declarations about their Christmas together, but their fans have been piecing together sightings from recent weeks. Over the past month, Harry and Zoë have appeared in low-key outings across Europe — including Rome and Berlin, where they were photographed enjoying strolls and meals together.
In a recent photo, Zo was seen wearing what some observers had suggested resembled a gold band on her ring finger while the couple was visiting Rome, which heightened engagement rumors. The pair reportedly met through mutual friends and interconnected over common creative interests, according to reports.
Their romance first caught fire in August of that year when they were spotted together in Rome and later spotted holding hands during a trip to London. Since then, the pair have frequently been seen in public, standing arm in hand and walking in cities like Rome and New York.
Friends of the couple confirmed earlier this year that Zoe and Harry had lunch with Lenny Kravitz, her father, in New York, a sure sign that their relationship is beginning to take a serious footnote. According to People, Lanny enjoyed getting to know Harry and praised him for being kind and sincere.
Harry and Zo aren’t bothered by the high level of online activity, neither of them have publicly confirmed their relationship on Instagram, X, or another social media platform. Their fan-shared clips and appearances together have been the most authentic representations of their time together, in contrast.
The pair’s relationship deepened over the course of the fall, according to sources close to them, leading to extended travel together across Europe. Dinners, strolls through major cities, and low-key family engagements have been on the itinerary for their trips.
Before forming a connection with Harry, 36-year-old Zo Kravitz had a number of famous relationships. She started dating actor Channing Tatum in 2021 after her marriage to Karl Glusman, which ended in 2021. After three years of dating, they decided against getting married in October 2024. At the time, Kravitz referred to the split as being amicable, while later praising Tatum and their time together.
Prior to Harry, she had dated actors Penn Badgley (2011–2013) and Ezra Miller, and she has previously been linked to other Hollywood names. However, prior to Harry, she had a relationship with Tatum that was her most frequently discussed subject.
Harry Styles, 31, has likewise been no stranger to high-profile romances. Before his current link with Zoë, he was most recently in a relationship with actress Taylor Russell, which lasted until May 2024. Other notable relationships include those with Olivia Wilde, Kendall Jenner, Camille Rowe and Taylor Swift, among others, spanning over a decade of media interest.
Styles, the Stones frontman-turned-global-pop superstar, has maintained a relatively private nature of his recent romantic relationships, appearing in public with partners but sparingly sharing details with social media.
All eyes will be on what 2026 holds now, including Harry’s upcoming album release and Zo’s next acting roles, with Christmas now behind them and reports suggesting the couple are more serious than ever.
The Mirror have contacted Harry and Zoe’s representatives for comment.
Hours away from getting married, Holly Ramsay and Adam Peaty. Following a widespread backlash, Gordon Ramsay’s daughter and the Olympian’s relationship have come to prominence.
On December 27th, the couple will tie the knot at Bath Abbey, a renowned landmark. Following Adam’s disagreement with his family, which caused his relatives to be dramatically uninvited, the upcoming ceremony has been drenched in drama.
However, Caroline, Adam’s heartbroken mother, had originally planned to ‘gatecrash’ the big day despite Adam and Holly allegedly putting in round-the-clock security to prevent the couple from taking pictures with the couple. Caroline has now decided to abstain because attending would “upset” her.

Bath Abbey is reportedly “ban the public.”
Locals have labeled Adam and Holly as “selfish.” The wedding venue has been kept closed to the public the entire day despite having a 90-minute wedding day planned. On the day, visitors will be prevented from entering or traveling close to the venue. The Bath Abbey website states that visitors are “closed for visiting” on December 27.
The cost of hiring a wedding venue is estimated to be around £2,500, but Adam and Holly claim to have spent significantly more to have the venue to themselves for the duration of the day. When your wedding service only lasts an hour and a half, “having the abbey for the entire day seems a bit selfish,” a source told The Sun.
Additionally, the publication claims that Holly and Adam will be subject to a security team’s request to be photographed or recorded.
On Saturday (Tom Wren / SWNS), the couple will wed at Bath Abbey.

Before a wedding, Holly wears all white.
Just before her wedding, Holly Ramsay was spotted.
On Boxing Day, Holly was seen already opting for white as she left her father Gordon’s home in London. The bride wore a long white winter coat over a black top and trousers as she made her way towards the car.
Gordon was also seen heading to the car with Tana as they drove away from the family’s mansion in South London. Holly’s sister Tilly, who appeared on the same series of Strictly Come Dancing as groom Adam Peaty, was snapped getting into a Porsche.
Before her wedding, Holly was seen leaving her father’s house.

Mother’s heartbreaking realization
This weekend, Caroline Peaty reportedly planned to appear at Bath Abbey. However, reports claim that she has now made a decision against it.
Larne came from behind to beat Carrick Rangers 2-1 and extend their lead at the top of the Irish Premiership table to six points on Friday as Glentoran beat Linfield at Windsor Park on Boxing Day for the first time ever.
In the east Antrim derby at Taylors Avenue, Paul Heatley opened the scoring for Carrick, but Tiarnan O’Connor and Paul O’Neill’s late goals in three minutes ensured that the pacesetters won with the most points.
The Glens won the opener 1-0 to move their record to two league victories in a row and move above their rivals into third place in the standings.
A goal in each half from Daire O’Connor gave Ballymena United a 2-0 victory over Coleraine at the Warden Street Showgrounds, Oran Kearney securing his first win as manager of the Sky Blues, against his former club.
In the first half of the north Belfast derby at Solitude, Ryan Curran’s own goal gave the Crusaders a 2-0 lead over Cliftonville, with Adam Brooks adding the second.
Larne bounce back to win at Carrick

Larne are unbeaten in 11 league games after defeating Carrick Rangers in their derby, having accumulated nine wins and two draws in that sequence.
After Danny Gibson had a good cross from the far post, the home side made a good save save for Larne keeper Rohan Ferguson.
As the Carrick Rangers pressed, Paul Heatley also had a shot that was low across the face of goal.
At the other end, skipper Leroy Millar was proving Larne’s main attacking threat and he twice tested Nathan Gartside from distance.
And just before half-time, he turned his hand to Jordan McEneff, whose goal-bound effort was well saved by Gartside.
Before the break, Heatley saw his effort hacked off the goal line, and Benji Magee fired a shot just over the crossbar.
The deadlock was broken 11 minutes into the second half thanks to Paul Heatley’s fifth league goal of the season, a fine individual effort.
Billy Joe Burns made a brilliant effort to get the ball inside his own half before passing a gorgeous pass to his right foot into the Larne defense.
His former Crusaders colleague had plenty to do, but he hurriedly cleared the defense before hurling the ball into Ferguson’s unguarded net.
The league leaders drew level with just over 10 minutes remaining, second half sub O’Connor firing a low right shot from distance into the bottom corner.
Too strong for Blues, Glens.

Bragging rights belong to Glentoran who beat Big Two rivals Linfield for the very first time in a Boxing Day derby at their rivals ‘ ground since the festive fixtures were introduced in 1989.
David Healy’s side suffered two straight defeats in the Irish Premiership as a result of Thomson’s first-half ace.
The visitors quickly gained control of the game and hit the front just before the half-hour mark in spectacular style after an essentially level opening 25 minutes.
Thomson was afforded too much time and space in midfield as he ran forward and let fly with a powerful right-footed strike from distance, which nestled in the top corner for a ‘ goal of the season ‘ contender.
Ten minutes into the second half, The Glens almost doubled their lead, but Chris Johns’ superb stop prevented Jordan Jenkins from double theirs.
Ballymena banish Bannsiders

Coleraine suffered a fourth defeat in seven Premiership games, handing Ballymena its first top flight victory in six games.
On 12 minutes, O’Connor ran onto after Kian Corbally cleverly slipped a through ball past full-back Lyndon Kane.
The winger initially looked to have taken a heavy first touch but he recovered to stretch and poke the ball beyond advancing Coleraine keeper Ryan Schofield.
Jamie McGonigle’s substitution cut inside and Sean O’Neill curled his curling shot onto the top of the crossbar in stoppage time, which Coleraine almost equalized.
Cameron Stewart hit the crossbar with his head on a Will Patching corner in the second period, but O’Neill was able to swing the ball over the bar.
The home side doubled their lead on 67 minutes when Corbally once again found O’Connor on the left hand side of the penalty and he ran through to confidently slot past Schofield.
Reds are stunned by Crue at Solitude.

At Solitude, the visitors fashioned the first clear opening when PJ Morrison raced from his line to smother at the feet of Brooks, before Odhran Casey slid in with a superb last-ditch challenge to deny Finlay Thorndike with the goal gaping.
When Rory Hale was imprisoned inside the Cliftonville half, Fraser Bryden’s low effort landed in Thorndike’s path, but the home side retreated and made their way back.
Ryan Curran unintentionally headed into his own net as Thorndike’s corner caused chaos in the penalty area just before the half-hour mark.
Into first-half stoppage time, Casey picked out Joe Sheridan at the back post, and his cut-back found Eric McWoods, who looked certain to score until Jordan Forsythe produced a vital goal-line clearance.
After Jack Keaney bent a free-kick from 25 yards that appeared to be headed in the bottom corner, the Crues almost equalled the lead, but Musa Dibaga brilliantly reacted by securing a fingertip save at full stretch to keep the Crues’ lead.
With his fifth league goal of the season just four minutes left, Brooks scored from a Crusaders corner with a clinical finish from the back post.
Ports win derby guffaws.

For Portadown to win all three points at home to bottom-of-the-table Glenavon in the 36th minute with a Wilson header.
Steven McCullough saw his corner kick almost go directly into the back of the net, but for the fingertips of Glenavon keeper Jacob Carney.
However, a powerful Wilson header met the ball, and it did find its way into the back of the net.
When Carney collided with the rushing Eamon Fyfe in the Glenavon area toward the end of the first half, Portadown fans knew their side had won a penalty.
The referee waved play on and Carney went on to be replaced by Sean Hamill at half time after picking up an injury in that collision.
Following a technical issue with the floodlights, there was a protracted half-time break.
The floodlights appeared to have been serviced during the week, but a 15-minute delay turned out to be due to a malfunctioning oil filter.
After the floodlights were sorted and a second half short on quality followed.
In the final moments of the game, Harry Murphy should have done better from a headed effort, but Glenavon came very close in the second half thanks to a Paul McGovern save that Aaron McCarey had smartly saved.
Early goal enough for Swifts

Within two minutes, Dungannon Swifts had opened the scoring. Peter Maguire reacted by delivering a corner to the back post, which was met by Kevin Dillon.
The defender headed the ball back into the path of Adam Glenny, his shot deflected in off Bangor striker Ben Arthurs.
After the opening goal, Bangor’s fortunes did not improve. Three minutes later, Stephen McGuinness took the place of defender Mark Haughey in the end.
This forced Lee Feeney to rethink his gameplan. The visitors started to take control of the game once the change of pace was made.
Ben Arthurs gave Bangor the best chance to win the half. Picking up the ball in the middle of the park he made a great run beyond Peter Maguire.
Steven Scott was on his feet and blocked his effort when he made room for a shot in the box by shifting the ball from right to left.
Both teams enjoyed their share of possession in the second half, but there was little to attack quality.
Dungannon had calls for a penalty waved away near the end. Leo Alves, a substitute, leaped into the box with some effective control, and Patrick Solis Grogan drew a corner.
