Married At First Sight star Holly Ditchfield has announced she is engaged to her convicted drug dealer boyfriend weeks after the pair went official.
Father-of-three Aaron Summers popped the question this weekend over dinner after the TikTok personality surprised the reality star on Saturday night.
She will be a bride again after her marriage to 28-year-old aviation operator Alex Henry, from Birmingham, crumbled on the E4 show.
Days after they started dating, it was revealed Aaron, 28, had pleaded guilty to possession of heroin and crack cocaine with intent to supply back in 2021. He also pleaded guilty to being in possession of criminal property.

She announced her big news on Instagram, writing: “The easiest ‘YES’. You bring the best out of me, you care about my opinion, you make me feel safe with being vulnerable, you allow my imperfect days, we work through conflict, you’re my support network, you give me 100 per cent every single day.

“I finally understand the meaning of ‘finding the one’. I love you.”
A source told The Sun in March he has been honest with Holly from the start. “Holly and Aaron had been talking for a few weeks and finally met up last weekend,” they said.

The 29-year-old reality star from Huddersfield is among the cast of the 2024 season of E4’s chaotic dating show – which sees strangers get married the moment they meet. She may regret selling her dress online last year after flogging it on Vinted. She initially planned to sell the gown for £800 but had to slash the price after buyers failed to show interest.
Listed as “My MAFS wedding dress”, the reality star wrote: “£700 till Friday! ( will deliver or collection is available if local) to save delivery rates.” Her original posting image it clear that the dress was worth more than double what she is now asking for.

The live-action remake of the animated classic was a box office flop and was widely panned by critics
Disney’s latest venture into live-action remakes has unfortunately not been the magical success story we’re used to. Snow White, set for digital release this Tuesday, 13th May, has been met with grim reviews and dismal box office returns.
Regrettably, this highly anticipated fantasy tale turned out to be more of a nightmare, scraping together just $202.8 million globally on a mammoth budget estimated between $240–270 million, marking it as one of Disney’s most notable flops.
The film, which stars Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, will be up for grabs on platforms like Prime Video, Sky Store, Apple TV, and Google TV, though it won’t join the ranks of free streaming offerings or make an appearance on Disney+ for now.
If you’re keen to watch, brace yourselves – it’ll cost you roughly £19.99 to own or £15.99 to rent what many have decried as one of the decade’s worst films.
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes handed it a lacklustre 40 percent, yet moviegoers were kinder, bestowing a 72 percent approval.

Despite once being the lowest-rated movie on IMDb ever, Snow White has certainly stirred up strong feelings across the board, reports the Mirror US.
One particularly dissatisfied Google reviewer didn’t mince words: “This film is a disgrace to the original classic-a soulless, uninspired cash grab that lacks charm, heart, or any justification for its existence.
“What a shame. This movie is garbage.”
Summarising the general sentiment, a Reddit user remarked: “I’d go with like a 3.5/10. Way too many musical numbers and any not involving Zegler were pretty bad imo.
“That led to not enough dialogue and a really weak plot and character development. The love story was so weak that for a while I was certain they hadn’t even introduced the love interest yet.
“Also the costume design was pretty laughable. The dwarves were really the only redeeming quality imo.”
Gadot’s performance was also singled out by fans as detrimental: “This movie was painfully bad. Gal Gadot made this so unbearable.
“CGI was absolute s***. Don’t [even] get me started on the writing and dialogue. The only positive thing about this film was Rachel.
“Great showing from her but everything else no Bueno. Save yourself the trouble and don’t see this.”
Audiences have slammed the performance by Gal Gadot as the Evil Queen
However, not everyone’s thumbs were pointing down. In stark contrast, another user argued in favour of the reimagining, saying: “The Snow White remake is everything I hoped for in a modern reimagining.
“It maintains the heart of the original story while expanding it with new storylines and beautiful songs.

“In many ways, it feels like a West End or Broadway adaptation – taking the core material and transforming it with fresh ideas, characters, and a more immersive experience.”
As opinions diverge, the question hangs in the air – will you hit play or pass on the Snow White remake when it drops this week?
The Princess of Wales has revealed “nature has been my sanctuary” during her cancer treatment in a brand new video series celebrating the beauty of the UK in the changing seasons. The footage, which shows both Kate and Prince William enjoying their wedding anniversary on the Isle of Mull last month, forms part of a video called ‘Mother Nature’, which will be part of a quarterly series that is being spearheaded by the princess.
The aim of the series is to highlight humanity’s longstanding connection to nature, as well as nature’s capacity “to inspire us and help us to heal and grow in mind, body and spirit”. The three-minute film is narrated by Kate, who is now in remission from cancer, and shows her admiring the beauty of Mull as well as hugging her husband.
The Prince and Princess of Wales in a new video celebrating nature
She says: “Over the past year, nature has been my sanctuary. The natural world’s capacity to inspire us, to nurture us and help us heal and grow is boundless and has been understood for generations.
“It is through nature, that we can fully understand the true interconnectedness of all things, the importance of balance and the importance of renewal and resilience. Connecting to nature helps us to experience a deeper sense of ourselves, the world around us, and each other.
“Spring is a season of rebirth, of hope and new beginnings. From the dark days of winter, the outside world quietly awakens with new life, and there comes a sense of optimism, anticipation, and positive, hopeful change. Just as nature revives and renews so too can we. Let us reconnect to nature and celebrate a new dawn within our hearts.
“It is often from the smallest of seeds that the greatest change can happen, and in this ever-growing complex world, we need to hold on to what connects us all. Spring is here, so let’s make the most of it together.”
The video’s release coincides with the start of Mental Health Awareness Week, which begins today. The film spotlights Spring and will be followed by Summer, Autumn and Winter editions in due course.
In a personal message with the video, Kate adds: “This year’s Mental Health Awareness Week, we are celebrating humanity’s longstanding connection to nature, and its capacity to inspire us and help us to heal and grow in mind, body and spirit. As we confront the challenges of an increasingly complex and digital world, the importance of the connection between humanity and nature takes on even more significance.
“The Mother Nature series is a reminder and reflection of the beauty and complexity of the human experience. It is a tribute to the lessons we can learn from nature, helping us to foster our own growth, strengthen our bonds with the world around us and each other. C.”
Kate’s interest in nature follows on from her ‘Back to Nature’ garden at the Chelsea Flower Show in 2019 and her longtime relationship with the Scouts, which focuses on enabling children and young people to experience the outdoors and natural world.
It has also been a theme of her charitable work – engaging with children in nature through the Natural History Museum and seeing the benefit that nature has for children and their families receiving hospice care at East Anglia Children’s Hospice and more recently, Ty Hafan children’s hospice in Wales.
Kate has long advocated the benefits of spending time in the natural world, previously revealing how nature became her family’s ‘sanctuary’ in the wake of her cancer diagnosis and during her chemotherapy treatment.
She also opened up last month in personal insight into what nature means to her, admitting: “I find it a very spiritual and very intense emotional reconnection I suppose, these environments.
“Not everyone has that same relationship perhaps with nature, but it is so therefore meaningful for me as a place to balance and find a sort of sense of peace and reconnection in what is otherwise a very busy world.”

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) says it will take action against Chief Government Ekpemupolo, better known as Tompolo, over an allegation of naira abuse.
Tompolo was spotted in a viral video, reportedly during his 54th birthday celebration in April, dancing as a man sprayed ₦1,000 notes before him.
The footage drew widespread criticism and renewed calls for the EFCC to investigate the matter.
Responding to the public outcry, the anti-graft agency said the Niger Delta chieftain will have questions to answer over the viral video.

Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer!#EFCCNigeria pic.twitter.com/xWkMrdoMck
“Nobody is above the law. Tompolo will have questions to answer!” the EFCC stated in a post shared via its official social media handles on Monday.
In the clip, Tompolo, dressed in white and red attire, is seen dancing while a man repeatedly throws ₦1,000 notes into the air — a practice outlawed by the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN).
According to Section 21(3) of the CBN Act, 2007 (as amended), “spraying of, dancing or matching on the naira or any note issued by the bank during social occasions or otherwise howsoever shall constitute an abuse and defacing of the naira… and shall be punishable under the law by fines, imprisonment, or both.”
The EFCC has increasingly relied on this provision to prosecute individuals who spray or mishandle the national currency at social events, and previously cautioned that enforcement of the law is non-discriminatory.
Tompolo’s video resurfaced just weeks after a series of crackdowns on celebrities and public figures accused of naira abuse.
In January, sons of billionaire businessman Chief Razaq Okoya — Wahab and Raheem Okoya — were reportedly invited by the EFCC for spraying money in a promotional video for a music project.
However, some Nigerians have accused the EFCC of selective prosecution. Critics argue that enforcement is more aggressive against individuals without political or financial influence.
In 2024, socialite Idris Okuneye, alias Bobrisky, was sentenced to six months in prison without the option of a fine for similar offences. Musician Terry Apala was also remanded by a Lagos court after being arraigned for allegedly spraying and mutilating naira notes.
Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo confirmed last week that she was contacted by the EFCC while abroad and honoured the invitation upon returning to Nigeria. She faced questioning over activities during her daughter’s high-profile wedding celebration, where currency spraying allegedly took place.
Comedian Ayo Makun (AY) was also questioned in connection with the same event. Both AY and Ojo have since pledged to support EFCC’s efforts in educating the public on the legal implications of naira abuse.
Other high-profile individuals recently targeted include TikTok influencer Murja Kunya and nightlife promoter Pascal Okechukwu, better known as Cubana Chief Priest, who reportedly settled with the EFCC for ₦10 million.
Beauty writer Eve Rowlands has received a number of Lookfantastic’s monthly beauty boxes and she thinks May’s is one of their best yet

When it comes to beauty boxes, in my eyes, each haul needs to have something for every stage of the beautifying process: a product for hair, skincare, make-up and body, either pre, during or post-shower. Lookfantastic’s May box has nailed it for this month, and I think it’s the best box since I joined its subscription.
Worth more than £65, the box costs £50 less than that for a one-off order of the May selection itself, £15. However, if you sign up to receive the Lookfantastic box each month for a 12-month period, it drops to £13.
Containing six products, this month’s feels like a bumper pack as it not only contains one full sized product, but three – it usually has one full sized product or two. So this felt like a bit of a lottery.

This May box certainly rivals that of Glossybox’s 5-product offering. Their box this month contains products to help you enjoy the sunshine, such as the e.l.f. SKIN Suntouchable Whoa Glow SPF 30 and the Anatomicals Make Your Skin Grin Mango & Papaya Body Cream. Costing £13.50 for a one-off purchase, shoppers can also get it for £12.50 when they sign up for 12 months.
Although if you want a bit of a treat, Cult Beauty’s The Set for Sun Edit is worth £175 and costs £40. Packed with sun-ready formulas, the box features brands like Supergoop!, Elemis, Philip Kingsley and Ultrasun. While it’s more expensive, those who have snagged this set love it, stating it’s “the perfect summer set with all your favourites in it. Loads of minis so the best for your travel kit”.

This month, the Lookfantastic Box has pleasantly surprised me with all of its products. The haul includes three full-size items: REN Clean Skincare Evercalm Gentle Cleansing Gel 150ml (worth £25), Bedhead After Party Smoothing Cream 100ml, and PIXI Clear Brow Tamer Brow Gel.
It also included First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Fresh Strawberry Body Scrub with 10% AHA 28.3g in a deluxe-size, a LOOKFANTASTIC Cleansing Cloth and a Bondi Sands face tanning serum. Firstly, the REN cleanser is just a really good facial wash that leaves my relatively sensitive skin feeling nice (not irritated), hydrated and most importantly clean.

It’s quite fluid but doesn’t feel slimy and lathers up enough to feel like it’s nourishing. It’s great if you are in a rush, as it doesn’t require minutes to melt away the dirt (like my usual fave Elemis Pro Collagen Cleansing Balm). The facial cloth in the pack is also really nice and soft on the skin, making it a TLC session when taking off the day.
The only thing I didn’t quite enjoy about the cleanser is its scent, which is quite herbal. I’m more of a fruity or essential oil person, so that would stop me from repeat purchasing it.

With that in mind, I adore the scent of the First Aid Beauty KP Bump Eraser Fresh Strawberry Body Scrub with 10% AHA because, as the name suggests, it smells like strawberries. It makes buffing the bumps on the backs of my arms, knees and other problem spots a much more enjoyable experience.
I feel like I’ve been launched into a pool of Strawberry Laces with every use. As a scrub paste, it does feel akin to rubbing sand on my skin, but not in a harsh way as it softens when mixed with moisture. Plus, in the few times I have used it, it actually works at reducing the appearance of bumps on the skin.
It’s important to moisturise well after use and wear your SPF as the AHA in the solution can make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. It also goes without saying this isn’t for use on the face – stick to the body only.

The small but mighty Brow Gel from Pixi is another favourite of mine as it gives my brows a really good lift, without being sticky, hard or flaky when dried. Even when running my fingers over my brows to intentionally try and put them out of place they don’t budge and easily slot back into the structure I’d created with the brush.

I like the Bedhead After Party Smoothing Cream as it tamed my flyaways and gave my locks a lovely, frizz-ish-free shine. However, as someone who wears their hair curly most of the time, this cream feels more suited to someone who dries their hair smooth. It’ll be great when I want a sleek look, though.
Frankie Bridge looked almost unrecognisable as she debuted a new haircut on the red carpet at the TV BAFTAs – and it’s a huge change for the former Saturdays singer

Ever wondered how far celebs will go for a dramatic red carpet transformation? Well, Frankie Bridge has just given us the answer by debuting a brand new fringe for a single event.
The former Saturdays star turned heads at last night’s TV BAFTAs awards, looking unrecognisable after undergoing a vintage Hollywood-style makeover in honour of the ceremony. It seems Frankie took inspiration from Audrey Hepburn’s iconic look in the film Sabrina, as their hairstyles are strikingly similar. The most noticeable change is the addition of a fresh fringe.
The 36 year old singer, who had been growing out her signature cropped hair into a shoulder-length bob over the past few months, has now opted for a micro (or ‘baby’) fringe, giving her an Audrey Hepburn-esque Parisian vibe, reports OK!. Frankie’s choice of haircut is bang on trend, with many A-listers sporting similar styles on red carpets and at fashion events. Pamela Anderson unveiled a stunning micro fringe paired with a chin-length bob at the 2025 Met Gala, exuding contemporary elegance.

Zoe Saldaña also jumped on the bandwagon, flaunting a sleek French bob with ultra-short bangs that added a dash of 1920s glamour. Miley Cyrus turned heads when she rocked up to the Oscars afterparty sporting a freshly cut micro fringe, giving off a punky, Berlin-esque vibe. Lady Gaga also made waves at the 2025 Grammys with her jet-black hair and sharp micro fringe, delivering a gothic, high-fashion statement.
Not to be left out, Bridgerton’s Simone Ashley joined the micro fringe trend, unveiling a choppy, punk-inspired version at the Fashion Awards 2024. So, who’s the next celeb to opt for the fringe chop? We’re not sure. But one thing we do know is that there’s no hairstyle Frankie can’t pull off.
Style your fringe from home

When it comes to styling your fringe, BaByliss’ Mini Radial Brush, priced at £6, is a must-have. Designed specifically for fringes, its flexible yet sturdy bristles help add volume without causing unwanted frizz and flyaways. Plus, its compact size means you can easily carry it in your handbag for on-the-go touch-ups.
A quality heat protector is a crucial part of any styling routine to prevent damage and dryness. The Color Wow Dream Coat Supernatural Spray, costing £12.50, has received glowing reviews for leaving hair in silky condition. One shopper even claimed it made their hair look salon-fresh.
Rollers are a simple solution for achieving a salon-style blowout without the need for heat. The Drybar High Tops rollers, priced at £10, grip on their own and are made from a gentle material to prevent hair tugging or snagging. They can be used with a hairdryer or simply placed on your fringe overnight for a voluminous, bouncy look.

The Living Proof Perfect Hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo, costing £25, has long been a favourite among beauty enthusiasts. It’s a lightweight formula that not only revives the appearance and texture of your hair but also gradually emits fragrance to keep your hair smelling fresh all day. Moreover, the formula was specifically designed to avoid leaving any powdery residue, making it suitable for all hair types and colours.
