Reality TV star Chloe Brockett has thrown some serious shade at her former flame Jack Fincham following their split – the sixth time they’ve called it quits. The 24-year-old, best known for appearing on The Only Way Is Essex, recently confirmed that she and the Love Island winner, 33, had decided to go their separate ways after a turbulent few months.

Since the breakup, Chloe’s been dropping some rather pointed messages on social media, with her latest Instagram post throwing shade at Jack as it read: “Respect yourself enough to walk away from everything that violates your value.”

This comes hot on the heels of Chloe being quizzed by fans during an Instagram Q&A about whether she’s still with someone. Making her relationship status crystal clear for her followers, Chloe declared: “No I’m not in a relationship anymore… just want to focus on myself and the things that make me happy.”

Jack Fincham and Chloe apparently ended things for the sixth time following a string of heated arguments. According to reports last month, the couple’s recent rows had been exacerbated by Jack’s ongoing court case, putting a strain on their relationship.

The on-again, off-again couple, who have been romantically linked since 2019, have faced numerous split rumours and breakups, with the latest split said to be triggered by their constant clashing. A source at the time revealed that Chloe had moved out of their shared home but “no one thinks it’s over for good” this time.

Back in March, Chloe talked openly about a major argument she had with Jack, but denied they had split. During an appearance on the Spread The Juice podcast, the TOWIE star shared how she had hurled a virtual reality headset at the former Love Island star in a moment of rage, explaining it was a Christmas gift she had bought for him.

She confessed to host Jemma Lucy: “I bought Jack a Meta Quest for Christmas and I threw the Meta Quest at him. I just threw it at him.” Explaining the heated exchange, she expressed that her anger was the reason behind the outburst.

Despite the clash, Chloe made it clear they were still together at that point. She reassured her Instagram fans: “For anyone concerned, I am very much still in a relationship. The last few months been very hard for everyone involved.”

The troubles she hinted at seemed connected to his legal issues, where he narrowly avoided jail time. Last month, Jack – who had previously been handed a six-week jail term earlier this year for dangerous dog offences – won an appeal against his prison sentence and walked free from court with an extension to his suspended sentence order instead.

The 32-year-old, who won the 2018 series of ITV2 show Love Island with Dani Dyer, admitted at an earlier hearing to two counts of being in charge of a dangerously out-of-control dog.

He was sentenced at the earlier hearing at Southend Magistrates’ Court on January 29 to six weeks in prison, but on 21 March a judge ruled that was not “just” and set aside the custodial sentence.

Instead, she extended an existing suspended sentence order – that had been imposed for an unrelated driving matter – by three months.

US Supreme Court orders temporary halt to deportations under antique law

Using the ancient wartime law that the administration of President Donald Trump previously invoked to send hundreds of people to El Salvador, the US Supreme Court has ordered a temporary stop to two Venezuelan men’s deportation.

After their lawyers filed an urgent petition citing an imminent risk of removal without the proper process, the country’s top court issued the order to stop the men in immigration custody early on Saturday. The Trump administration’s response to the court’s authority could be impacted by the decision, leading to even a constitutional crisis.

In an unsigned order, the justices wrote that the government must not remove any member of the putative class of detainees from the United States until this Court makes a further order.

Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, two of the Supreme Court’s nine justices, disagreed with the decision.

The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed an emergency appeal in response to the court’s decision, arguing that it appeared that immigration authorities were moving to restart removals in accordance with the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.

A heated debate surrounds the constitutional authority of the US over Trump’s use of the wartime legislation, which was last used during World War II, to deport alleged Tren de Aragua gang members in claiming they are “conducting irregular warfare” in the US.

In April, the Supreme Court had ruled that deportations could only occur if those who were about to be removed had a chance to argue their case in court and had “reasonable time” to file a lawsuit against their pending removals.

“The Court’s temporary blocking of the removals is greatly gratifying to us.” Without ever having had access to proper legal counsel, these individuals were in imminent danger of spending the rest of their lives imprisoned in a brutal Salvadorian prison, according to ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt in an email to The Associated Press.

The decision has not yet been made public by the White House.

The US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals has not yet taken action, which has prompted the ACLU to submit a petition directly to the Supreme Court. Two federal judges have refused to intervene in stopping the most recent deportation proceedings.

Some of the men had already been loaded onto buses, according to the ACLU, and their deportations were announced.

A government lawyer claimed at a hearing on Friday that he was unaware of DHS’s plans to deport the men that day but that there might be deportations on Saturday.

I spoke with DHS, she said. In a separate but related case, Justice Department lawyer Drew Ensign told a district court that they are unaware of any current plans for flights tomorrow.

238 alleged Venezuelan gang members and 23 alleged Salvadoran gang members were taken to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador in March by the Trump administration.

Despite a US federal judge’s temporary suspension of the expulsions, the deportations occurred.

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a resident of the US state of Maryland, was one of the deported people who had secured a protection order to stop the detention.

Garcia was later found guilty of violating a separate Supreme Court order to bring him back to the US, but the Trump administration later acknowledged this.

It’s “very obvious that the president” is “blatantly, flagrantly… defying the order from the Supreme Court,” said Democratic Senator Chris Van Hollen, who met with Garcia on Thursday in El Salvador.

Katie Price warned over ‘riskiest surgery set’ ahead of new BBL

The former glamour model is being warned about the high risks of the procedure as Katie Price prepares for a third BBL procedure, according to a source who claims her family is ” worried.”

Friends and family are said to be worried about Katie Price as she prepares to go under the knife for a BBL, with concerns that the former glamour model may be putting herself into danger with potentially her riskiest procedure yet.

Mum-of-five Katie confirmed earlier this month that she is going for Brazilian butt lift (BBL) surgery, after previously cancelling the surgery. Alongside two previous BBLs, Katie, 46, has had 16 boob jobs and numerous cosmetic surgeries over the years.

However, Dr. Gerard Lambe, one of the top plastic surgeons in the UK and head of Reflect Clinic UK, claims Katie may be more vulnerable this time around.

With the countless procedures she’s undergone in the last year alone, Katie needs to be aware that she is putting her health and body under the worst of conditions, says Dr. Lambe.

One of Katie’s riskiest surgeries to date is “BBL,” which is one of the most dangerous surgeries that anyone can undergo. It also has the highest mortality rate. She is “dicing with death.”

A source claims Katie’s family is worried that after all of her previous operations, she might not be able to undergo yet another procedure as a result of the increased risk.

“Katie’s family is all very concerned,” said the actress. They are concerned about her repeating the procedure and do not want her to undergo surgery. They worry that this could be her most dangerous one, they said. Katie is a very defensive person and won’t listen, but it’s such a sensitive subject. She believes that’s what she needs.

Katie had previously scheduled a BBL for herself at the beginning of the year, but she confirmed in February that she had canceled the procedure and would instead work out at the gym to develop her glutes. However, Katie announced to fans earlier this month that the procedure had been changed.

Taking to Instagram, Katie said, “I’m about to see the surgeon now, he’s just joined the clinic about sorting my butt out. It’s so neat doing it, it’s like a deflatable balloon and I want some volume in it.”

According to the source, Katie’s inner circle is concerned that she is not taking the risks that might be presented. “Friends and family feel like it’s impossible to get through her and they’re dancing around the subject, but realistically they don’t know if her body can handle another operation, so it’s a scary situation,” the source continues.

In contrast, Dr. Lambe asserts that the human body requires lengthy recuperations in the interim for any significant surgeries, even cosmetic ones. She puts a lot of pressure on her heart and organs, and she doesn’t allow the time between surgeries to heal.

He continues, stating that, regardless of previous surgery, BBLs are risky for anyone because of not just Katie’s past. The fat can enter large, large veins and travel to the heart or lungs when the fat is injected deeply, and in severe cases, this can be fatal. Additionally, strict post-operative protocols must be followed.

It comes as the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has also cracked down on advertisements for BBL surgeries due to the procedure’s level of risk.

Inside Paddy and Christine McGuinness’ ‘messy’ divorce as he claims to have ‘no money left’

When Paddy and Christine McGuiness split in 2022, it’s claimed there is a “rift” between them, but despite their marriage appearing to end peacefully, it’s now claimed there is a “rift” between them.

Paddy claims there is “no money left” after the “mozy” McGuinness divorce.

Paddy and Christine McGuinness’ decision to stay living together after their marriage has reportedly led to the ‘rift’ between them – with sources claiming the former Take Me Out star “pays for everything”.

The pair called time on their marriage of 11 years in June 2022 for the sake of their children. However, it’s now been revealed that Paddy and Christine are in the ­process of ­trying to sell their £6.5million mansion, which Christine is “devastated” over. The model said earlier this month that she’s struggling to pay the £300,000 divorce bill she now faces.

However, Christine may not be the only one who is struggling. Paddy claimed earlier this month that he “had no money” and was going on tour. He stated in a podcast interview that, “I still get the feeling that I’m going, “F***, why are we doing this? ” I then recall that I had been divorced. Oh no, that’s why! ‘. I don’t have any money. But to be honest, it has been performing extremely well.

“At the moment, Paddy is paying for everything — the house bills and even Christine’s car,” a source told The Sun.

Speaking on the house sale earlier this week, Christine told Mail Online she was devastated. “We don’t know how long it’s going to take.” Addressing the £30,000 she had to pay for the divorce, the former Real Housewives of Cheshire star revealed she had to pay “out of my own money, that I didn’t even have. I’m still paying for it.”

However, a source told The Sun that “some of what she has been saying is just not true.” She actually spends more than £70,000 on legal fees. If their case had proceeded in full court, but it didn’t, it would have only skyrocketed to the ­figures she’s been thrown out there.

Additionally, the source added that Christine will receive a cash payment when their home is eventually sold.

The Mirror has contacted Paddy and Christine’s representatives for comment.

Leo and Penelope, twins, 11 years old, and Felicity, 8 years old, are the children of Christine and Paddy, who wed on June 4, 2011. However, it was revealed that the couple had split after 11 years of marriage.

They shared the split’s announcement on Instagram, saying, “Our main priority as always is to continue loving and supporting our children.

Although it wasn’t an easy choice, we’re making the best decisions possible as parents of our three adorable children. We’ll always be a loving family, and we’ll still live happily together in our shared home.
