Alison Hammond’s son, Aidan, has opened up about his relationship with his famous mum as the pair are set to appear on screen together in the latest series of Celebrity Gogglebox

Alison Hammond’s son, Aidan, has given a rare insight into his childhood, revealing he would take refuge in his grandmother’s house after disputes with his famous mum.

Aspiring DJ Aidan, who turned 20 this year, was born in 2005 to Alison and her then-fiancé Noureddine Boufaied. However, despite their split in 2014, the pair have continued to co-parent the youngster.

Chatting on the Spin Justice podcast, Aidan reminisced about visiting his grandmother’s house across the road when he and his mum weren’t seeing eye to eye: “When we were in the flat, she had a house pretty much opposite us, so we could literally leave and run across the road. So when my mum was doing my head in, I’d just go to my nan’s (house). “

Aidan fondly recalled the close-knit bond with his nan during his formative years: “It was really nice, because like I said, we were very, very close. “

Sadly, Alison’s mother, Maria, passed away from lung and liver cancer in January 2020, just five years ago.

However, the tour has undergone one last-minute change. A band member who was not on the road as of yet as of the tour schedule.

The Mirror revealed yesterday how the main Oasis line up was as expected with Liam Gallagher as the frontman and Noel Gallagher on guitar alongside close pals and regulars Paul ‘Bonehead’ Arthurs, Gem Archer and Andy Bell.

Joey Waronker, who previously played on a tour with Liam Gallagher and John Squire last year, is the new drummer. According to the tour schedule, Joe Auckland will be playing the trumpet, Christian Madden will play the keyboards, Jess Greenfield will play the backing vocals, Alastair White will play the trombone, Steve Hamilton will play the sax, and Joe Madden will play the trumpet.

Jess would have been one of the group’s rare female members, but it has been reported that she will no longer be performing. She was only included in the earlier program drafts, according to a source close to the band, and she won’t be traveling any more.

“The band no longer employs backing singers,” the band said. Although Noel has previously collaborated extensively with Jess, it made more sense for Noel to perform Liam’s backing vocals on the songs after the final rehearsals and set lists were finalized.

Jess is disappointed, but it’s likely that she will find other career opportunities with Noel in the future. They simply didn’t need her, according to the source.

A number of famous people have come out to show their support for the British tennis star, Emma Raducanu, who plays against world number one Aryna Sabalenka, at Wimbledon today.

Gary Lineker and Anthony Joshua are among a host of famous faces who have bagged a ticket for Wimbledon today. British tennis star, Emma Raducanu, takes on world number one, Aryna Sabalenka, on Centre Court in SW19 and the Royal Box at the All England Tennis Club is filling up quickly for day five of the tournament.

Former Match of the Day host, Gary, 64, flashed a smile a mile wide ahead of the match and cut a sharp figure sporting a crisp black suit, pastel-striped tie and designer sunglasses. The former footballer has more time on his hands now after leaving the BBC earlier this year following his 25-year tenure hosting Match of the Day.

Another sports star seen mingling in the grounds was boxing champion, Anthony Joshua. The decorated Olympian posed for cameras alongside his long-time promoter Eddie Hearn, with the pair twinning in near-identical cream blazers.

Former Great British Bake Off contestant Dame Mary Berry joined them, who donned an aquamarine dress with a white floral pattern and nude suede shoes for effortless chic.

As well as actress Sharon Horgan, who wore a striking cream skirt with a scalloped black belt, polka dot blouse, and rose-tinted sunglasses, the day’s invited guests included physicist Professor Brian Cox, astronaut Major Tim Peake, and physicist Professor Brian Cox.

And of course, no Wimbledon line-up would be complete without Mistletoe and Wine legend Sir Cliff Richard, who looked delighted to be back at SW19 while sporting a dapper black suit with a white trim, striped tie, and snazzy designer sunglasses.

The schedule will feature Carlos Alcaraz facing Jan-Lennard Struff and Taylor Fritz facing Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, with Raducanu and Sabalenka leading the way.

Raducanu, 22, will walk out on Centre Court later today with a Wimbledon crowd behind her when she faces world number one Aryna. The Brit faces the championship favourite after producing her best ever performance – according to herself – when she beat Marketa Vondrousova on day three.

The player appears to be relishing the challenge that lies ahead of her, determined to keep up her success. The former Grand Slam champion stated that she “wants to play the best” after refuting claims that she had a bad draw against the Belarusian tennis player.

Sunhats and umbrellas are expected for SW19 highs of 26C, with early-morning spectators in line for ground passes wearing sunhats and umbrellas.

Portuguese doubles player Francisco Cabral wore a black ribbon on court today at Wimbledon to pay tribute to Liverpool forward Diogo Jota, who tragically passed away in a car crash on Thursday at the age of 28.

The footballer, who he had just married, and his brother, were tragically killed, along with their three young children.

Coleen Nolan, a veteran of Loose Women, has spoken out about the “devastating” effects of the ITV changes, claiming that many of the cast members have “becomed her family.”

Loose Women’s Coleen Nolan has described the upcoming changes and cuts at ITV as “devastating” with staff members currently living in limbo. The channel recently announced a raft of changes to its daytime schedules, including slashing the daytime panel show down to 30 weeks a year and merging the teams working on Lorraine, Loose Women and This Morning.

After celebrating 25 years on the show this year, Coleen has now expressed her destruction and worries about what will happen to the behind-the-scenes staff. The members of the crew have a family. She said, “I’ve watched them grow.” Some of our competitors from the past are producers and have children. I’ve lived with them all my life. They are unsure of what to do because they are in limbo.

She continued, “Loose Women is changing, not ending, which I’m so grateful for.” The crew size will be very different, but it’s still running. There isn’t another show that celebrates and supports all women of all ages, sizes, and genders, which is what it should be. However, it is heartbreaking to see some of my coworkers unsure of their next steps. Many of them have mortgages and young families.

Sources previously told the Mirror there wouldn’t be any “radical changes” to the Loose Women panel, but there are expected to be a number of redundancies in the behind-the-scenes crew.

Lorraine Kelly’s daily show is also being cut to 30 minutes each day and to 30 weeks of the year, with Good Morning Britain running until 9.30am to fill the time. GMB will also be extended until 10am on the weeks Lorraine is off air entirely.

Coleen, 60, joined the series in 2000, joining Jane Moore, Kaye Adams, Nadia Sawalha and Ruth Langsford, and told Mirror’s Notebook magazine she had never experienced anything like the current changes.

You read all about it frequently, she said, noting that 300 people are affected by a chain store closure. Oh my goodness, that’s awful. What do you want for dinner, anyway? because it doesn’t have a direct impact on you.

I’ve never come this far away. It made me realize how devastating this is being carried out across the entire nation right now.

The channel’s daytime slate is “a really important part of what we do,” according to Kevin Lygo, managing director of ITV’s Media and Entertainment Division, adding that the change will allow us to continue to deliver a schedule that gives viewers the news, debate, and discussion they adore from the presenters they and trust.

After watching TV presenter Lisa Snowdon’s promotion of this neck firming serum gain widespread acceptance, I made the decision to try it out. I was pleasantly surprised by the cost.

Lisa Snowdon, a This Morning presenter, described using BOOST LAB’s hero product, Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum, for two weeks in a piece on sponsored content that I covered a few months ago.

Sales of this skincare formula quickly increased, which is largely attributable to how affordable it is ($24.99 for a 30-ml bottle, compared to many other neck creams available today).

Since then, I’ve been eager to try it on myself, especially since I only recently finished a bottle of various very pricey neck cream and had not personally seen any results. After using this BOOST LAB neck serum for three weeks, I discovered what…

Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum is a fairly runny serum texture rather than a cream, and it’s really pleasant to use and absorbs quickly. With thousands of five-star customer reviews and some pretty impressive before and after photos, it claims to “lift and smooths crepe-like, sagging skin, supports collagen production, and targets wrinkles &amp, ageing” on the BOOST LAB website.

And what did I discover about the results? A £25 topical product with no pre-approved active ingredients, for example, won’t lift sagging jowls, chisel you out a new jawline, or erase deep necklace lines; at the very least, you need professional aesthetic treatments, and possibly even surgery.

However, I thought this serum helped to improve the quality of my neck’s skin because I had a rough, crepey skin that was becoming quite dry after three weeks of using Edelweiss Neck Firming Serum.

You might also get these results from simply remembering to apply your face cream to your neck, but for me, using a particular neck product was the wake-up call I needed to focus more on this neglected area below my chin, and I did notice a difference.

I’d actually been using a very expensive, dermatologist-approved neck cream before this, which costs around £170, but I still thought the outcomes weren’t as good as they did with the BOOST LAB serum.

The bestseller neck cream at both Boots and M&amp, S. is PRAI Ageless Throat &amp, Décolletage Crème, £31.99, which is also highly rated.

The Elevator, £68, is another product with impressive before and after results, with 90% of testers indicating that jawline definition had improved significantly after 12 weeks.
