Kate Cassidy, the former girlfriend of late One Direction star Liam Payne, is gradually rebuilding her life a year after his death. Payne, 31, died on October 16, 2024, after falling from a hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina.

A subsequent toxicology report revealed that alcohol, cocaine, and prescription antidepressants were in his system at the time. Cassidy, 26, struggled with severe depression following the tragedy, experiencing days when she would not even smile or leave her home.

A friend has now stated that “She was definitely not okay for a long time.” “I literally didn’t see her smile for months, but I was seeing her every day.”

She didn’t even seem like herself because it was so troubling. She abruptly ended many hangouts and appeared to be almost recluse, they continued.

According to the insider, Cassidy is now reportedly open to dating again and spending more time with friends, even though she is going along slowly.

She’s open to dating again, even though she’s not yet fully engaged, her friend told Daily Mail. She is now progressing. She is aware of what he would have desired.

After months of silence, Cassidy has also resumed posting on social media, sharing more upbeat content and fun-loving photos.

She is also disguising claims made by former CasaSur Palermo Hotel server Braian Nahuel Paiz, 25, who claimed to have spent several hours with Payne while he was unconscious the day before his death.

Paiz did not make up her sexual allegations, and Cassidy’s friend has since stated that she is unfazed by the speculation.

Kate’s friend said, “Kate doesn’t pay any attention to them.” She is aware of the excellent food Liam and her husband had. How she feels about Liam is unaffected by what transpired after she left Argentina.

She’s ignoring it, they continued, “she’s ignoring whatever that guy says happened, because it doesn’t affect her.”

At a National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) event on October 6 in front of the media, Cassidy stated in a statement: “I was always kind of just kind of doing nothing and just dealing with that grief and pain.”

Simply put, I didn’t want to live my life for the long term. I finally came to the realization, “OK, I need to live my life, I need to get up and get out of bed.” “

She continued, explaining that she began by making small changes, setting alarms for each day, exercising, eating well, and living her life in memory of Payne.

Despite her efforts to move forward, Cassidy has faced criticism for some Instagram posts, including a recent video showing her being hoisted onto the shoulders of two men, with some fans calling it disrespectful.

Her friend defended her, saying, “This is her beginning to smile once more.” The old Kate is returning in this image. This is what he would want for her, she knows, and everyone who knew Liam knows that.

With only a second to respond to a challenging question, the former This Morning host banked a sizable sum of money for charity on Celebrity Catchphrase.

Former This Morning star Richard Madeley wowed viewers when he managed to bank an eye-watering £10k on Celebrity Catchphrase in the very last second.

Richard joined host Stephen Mulhern and the other contestants, comedian Axel Black and radio star Sian Welby, to raise money for charity in a celeb special of Catchphrase.

Richard faced the final 60-second round, where he only had a minute to respond to questions about famous sayings after defeating both Axel and Sian.

Richard was able to deposit £2.5k and £5k in the first two rows while working his way up the Catchphrase ladder. The third row, which contains box number 11, was then taken over by him.

If answered correctly, Axel and Sian’s total from the round would double, as well as Richard’s total from the round. However, he only had five more seconds to go.

Richard chose the number 11, and he was shown a clip with the words “FEW” twice, both drawn with arms and legs. A similarly anthropomorphic “FAR” then appeared in their place.

Richard said, “Few and far between, with only a second left.” Without a second thought, Stephen yelled out that Richard had won $10,000. His total increased to £17.4k because he had previously banked £7.4k.

Axel and Sian’s jackpots also doubled, in accordance with box 11 rules. Axel took away £800, while Sian nabbed £6, 000. £24.2k was raised overall for charity.

The television presenter first made a name for himself on BBC Radio Carlisle aged 19. He moved to Granada Reports in the 1980s and met his wife Judy Finnigan there. With Judy, Richard hosted This Morning from 1988-2001.

The pair then left ITV’s morning show to do their own chat show on Channel 4, called Richard & Judy. The show ended in 2009. Richard has since been a relief presenter for Good Morning Britain.

He has been covering one of the show’s presenter spots for the past week, and on Thursday (16 October), he abruptly stopped a discussion about speeding offenses and admitted to having six points on his license after committing two.

I didn’t realize that one of the two carriageways had a 34 mph [zone] was one for traveling at four thirty in the morning. one for traveling at four in the morning at twenty-eight mph in a 20-mph zone. And I have to admit that I don’t mind getting fined because it seems a little unfair that I accidentally broke the law and received three points on a license as well.

Gemma acknowledges there have been frequent phone calls with producers about a potential GC return, but claims the ship has sailed for her now that other original TOWIE cast members have returned, along with Amy Childs and Lauren Goodger.

She said, “The TOWIE team ring me all the time. Look, I really enjoyed the show, and that’s what inspired me. We all move on in life, but that’s the show that gave me my gorgeous home. And I’ve left now.

Gemma is also getting ready for a big wedding the following year, Rami, who proposed in February of last year.

Gemma claims to have found the ideal balance between her personal life and work, including being Rami’s devoted stepmum Tristan, who is seven years old.

She said, “These days, I can combine my family and my career.” “I’ve just enjoyed being a stepmum and a normal girl for a while because I’ve not had that for so long.” Now, everything has come full circle.

Because I was so focused on my career, I delayed starting a family for so long. Then my family intervened, and I now have Rami. It’s a life experience, and I’ve chosen that path from my life.

She continued, “Now I’m ready to come back and I can give people the real, authentic me, not a fake person,” and that she was ready to do the same.

Gemma claims she has every intention of contributing some help to Rami and her big day, adding, “I’ll have a wedding planner. They will handle it. I’ll just say, “Yes, no, yes, no, yes, no”. That is it. But I’m actually very excited, which I am.

Tyson Fury’s daughter Venezuela has opened up about her engagement, revealing that her fiancé, Noah, 18, was “all kinds of nervous” about asking her father for permission to propose.

Noah’s photo was filmed by Paris Fury at Venezuela’s glamorous 16th birthday party, and Paris Fury surprised fans by sharing a video of Noah with fans last month. Venezuela called it “probably one of the best moments of my life,” though she acknowledged she was “very shocked.”

She explained that it was understandable to intimidate her to speak with her father, a former heavyweight champion. Any boy would be afraid of my father, I believe. However, it is the right course of action.

He claimed to be having heart palpitations and being all kinds of nervous, The Sun reported. However, it went well. My father wouldn’t intervene, and he supports me every single time. He is very pleased with our relationship.

Venezuela added that Noah and Tyson share a common interest in boxing. “He does boxing on the side. It’s something for them to talk about. They haven’t trained together, so maybe they will now.”

Tyson had done with Paris before turning the page on her when she was 17 and the family still adheres to the “old-fashioned tradition” of seeking a father’s approval.

Venezuela and Noah’s parents have only been in contact on weekends, so they have yet to meet up because they only live a short distance apart. Planning for the wedding will be delayed until that meeting occurs.

Kathleen Price, Noah’s mother, described the family’s excitement in a statement to the Daily Mail.

They’re a wonderful young couple with a bright future ahead of them, the saying goes, “We’re all really happy.” There are only two years between them because they’ve known each other for about a year, according to her. Venezuela was 15 when Noah and Noah met.

After marriage, Kathleen added that the couple is expected to reside with the family. We’ve applied for planning permission to build on land that’s close to the back of the yard and have some space there.

When they tie the knot, “We want to build them their own home,” she continued. “We want to have them both live here among the family.”

Paris defended her daughter’s engagement on This Morning, noting Venezuela is following her footsteps.

We don’t worry at all because she’s very young, though. Venezuela has spent a lot of time in her youth. Although I’m not sure if she’s happy, I believe she has found the person she loves.

She continued, “I was 17 when I got engaged, so how could I judge her in any way?”

While the role of 007 is yet to be decided, Tom, 29, has reportedly signed a contract with Marvel, which will stop him from taking on the role. A source revealed: “Tom can’t play two superheroes, it just won’t happen.”

Production for the 26th James Bond film, which will be the 26th, is scheduled for April at Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire.

Steven Knight, the director who reportedly is headed the search for the next James Bond, is in charge of the plot, and Denis Villeneuve is the director.

The actor, who was first portrayed by Ian Fleming in his 1953 spy series, rose to fame in the 1960s with the film’s silver screen success. Numerous Hollywood stars have since been portrayed as the aloof secret agent.

The role has also been a privilege for Pierce Brosnan, David Niven, George Lazenby, Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton, and Sean Connery.

Sharon Osbourne is once more in mourning. The actress revealed on Instagram that her dog, “darling boy,” Elvis had passed away after 14 years of dating.

Her rockstar husband Ozzy Osbourne passed away in July of this year, just months after her. Sharon posted images of herself with Elvis the dog, saying, “I can’t believe I’m posting this because my sweetheart died this week. He gave me 14 priceless years. He remained with me until the very end. My sweet boy, rest in peace”!

Sharon shared four images of her dog, a pomsky, a hybrid of pomanderan dogs and Siberian huskies, in Sharon’s post. In the first picture, Sharon is adoring Elvis as he raises his paws in awe of the table.

As she appears on a talk show, he is next to her in a special dog bed in the second. The final two episodes feature Elvis and Ozzy, with Elvis first performing the late Black Sabbath frontman as he laughs before lying on his chest.

Fans jumped up in the comments to express their condolences to Sharon. One person expressed regret for your loss, “Oh no.” He and Ozzy are currently together, and they will both continue to watch you.

Another person wrote, “This poor woman has been through it all recently.” While another said, “Ozzy needed a little bit of you with him,” I’m so sorry for your loss, xxx.

Ozzy’s marriage to Sharon ended in July 1982, leaving her with him. Kelly, Aimee, and Jack were the trio’s three children. Her son, Jack, admitted his mother is “not okay” recently, even though the former X Factor judge has taken a step back from public life to grieve.

She is simply attempting to figure out where to go next, how to navigate, what’s the new standard, baseline, and “What do I do without my person?” he gave, ” However, she is surrounded by a lot of love and support.

Kelly has also discussed the grief of her mother. The most heartbreaking aspect of this whole situation is, in my opinion, what is happening to my mother. And it’s really, really difficult for me to watch the man she loves most in this world.

Ozzy claimed that his wife was the cause of his long life before he passed away. He claimed that he would not have been as successful as he was if he hadn’t had her.

“I wouldn’t be here right now if it weren’t for Sharon Osbourne,” she said. Without a doubt, I wouldn’t be as successful as I am. Without it, I wouldn’t be sober. Without a doubt, I would be six feet under.

Because I didn’t consume any more alcohol or drugs than any of them, there must have been something wrong with everyone I used to do it with. I only had my Sharon with me.
