JoJo Siwa has been defended by Christine McGuinness after she was accused of dating Chris Hughes, the 18-year-old influencer who she met on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year.

Reality TV star Christine McGuinness has come out in support of JoJo Siwa, stating that the young star shouldn’t have to “explain” her sexuality amidst her new relationship with Chris Hughes.

The 22-year-old internet sensation began a romance with the 32-year-old Love Island star after meeting on Celebrity Big Brother, despite previously identifying as lesbian. During her time on the ITV show, JoJo shared with housemates that she’d now prefer to identify as queer.

Christine, who parted ways with her husband Paddy McGuinness last year and has herself dated women, defended JoJo’s right to privacy regarding her sexual orientation.

Christine, 37, said, “Let them live. I sort of experienced similar situations, not exactly that.

Being in the spotlight and feeling the need to express your sexuality, which I don’t believe anyone should at all. JoJo is still a young person, just like everyone else, and she is learning. Changes exist in life.

“You can change your mind at any time, which is one of the benefits of being an adult.” JoJo, I believe she has always been open about her gender and how she refers to herself. She adores anyone she loves, but it doesn’t always depend on gender. It kind of describes how I feel, even though I don’t label myself.

However, Christine – who recently opened up about her own sexuality – acknowledged that some fans might feel “let down” by JoJo’s decision to date a man, given her status as an LGBTQIA+ advocate.

She said, “I think some of them feel let down because she’s been active as an advocate for the LGBTQIA+ community.”

Christine expressed disappointment that JoJo’s private life was being scrutinized because of her fame. She continued, “I just think it’s not anybody’s business. For a reason, it’s called private life. People assume you have a public image, and we are entitled to information about your activities. It’s not nice, but I’ve had it for a while.

“Sexuality has been a significant component of it, and it shouldn’t be.” Too many people have met, and they are exploring whether it’s a relationship or a friendship.

JoJo recently emphasized her commitment to privacy in her personal life, saying, “When talking about her relationship with Chris, I don’t need to explain myself.

E! speaking! She said, “I don’t need to explain myself because I believe I’m in the right place. “With where I’m at, I feel so happy, and at ease and in control,” she says. I can tell that the love I feel is real and right in front of me.

Michelle Ackerley, a pregnant Morning Live star, has revealed the gender of her “miracle” baby. The TV personality made the pregnancy announcement last month on live television.

The 40-year-old has now stated that she anticipates having a baby girl in October. She and her husband, Ben Ryan, have called their upcoming daughter “miracle.”

Michelle has previously made clear about her fertility issues and having an endometriosis diagnosis. Endometriosis occurs when tissues from the womb’s lining develop on the outside, causing pain and inflammation that can lead to issues with fertility.

Michelle greeted you! “I’m expecting a little girl in October, and it feels very special. My husband and I told him I was pregnant, and he said it was a miracle baby.

Michelle shared her pregnancy on Instagram while also announcing her battle with endometriosis while writing: “I honestly didn’t think 12 months ago that I would write a post sharing that I’m pregnant.

I understand if you would prefer to scroll past on this because I am aware that some people find this type of news to be challenging to read. I wanted to share my experience with endometriosis and infertility with others, but I finally felt confident in doing so last year when I realized how many other women were going through the same experiences.

Being a part of a community, especially in terms of women’s health, can really affect a person’s health. Even at the beginning of this year, I was trying to accept the mental and physical effects of yet another endo procedure.

It has been a “quite the emotional rollercoaster.” Both of us were completely shocked when we learned that we were expecting. We still don’t understand it.

“And so, for @benryan7s and I, a new chapter begins in October, albeit with a little nervous and cautious excitement.” Before getting married in 2023, Ben and Michelle had been dating for years and had a 13-year age difference.

In a silky halter-neck gown that Michelle looked stunning in the wedding of her life in 2024, they tied the knot. Ben is best known for leading the Fiji National rugby team to a gold medal at the 2016 Summer Olympics and being a former rugby player.

Michelle’s impressive TV career has gained her notoriety over the years. Her most recent roles include hosting Morning Live and previously appearing on The One Show, World’s Strongest Man, and Watchdog.

Not everyone was pleased with the locations that Oasis announced, including pop-up shops opening in more than one location in the UK and Ireland.

Oasis recently announced pop-up merch stores showing up around the UK and Ireland, but not all fans are impressed with the lack of venues. On Thursday evening, the official Oasis page on X, formerly known as Twitter, shared a link to a page that shows fan stores popping up in Manchester, London, Birmingham, Cardiff, Dublin and Edinburgh.

The post was titled “10am tomorrow – Spinningfields, Manchester” The only link that actually worked was Manchester at the time of writing. Fans can select the available dates for the end of June and the entire summer from the calendar on the page. Fans must select a specific 30-minute time slot once a date has been chosen.

E-tickets are required, but admission to the fan stores are free. After years of the band taking a break, some were relieved by the lack of venues, despite the band’s fans’ excitement about getting brand-new gear.

Do this in South America, a user said! One fan questioned, “Will there be special pop-up shops for South America, Asia, and Pacific?”

One irritable user questioned, “Do Oasis even know they have fans outside of the UK?” Like, in actual Europe”? and one person responded, “Yeah, you hate Europe, though.”

Another obstinate fan posted, “B**ch I’m in Italy I CAN’T COME F**K OFFFF DO ONE IN ITALY I’M begging.”

In addition, Oasis fans were recently warned to watch out for ticket smugglers as they searched for last-minute tickets for upcoming reunion shows. This will be Noel and Liam Gallagher’s first shows together in a very long time, so tickets have been highly sought after.

Some fans have however claimed that some fans have been defrauded while searching for tickets for the concerts in Manchester, London, Cardiff, and Edinburgh in the months of July, August, and September.

According to a woman, “He said his only requirement was that I send him selfies from the concert, and he even sent me GIFs of the band with the catchphrase “All Your Dreams Are Made”.” I assumed they were. I believed he couldn’t be. I believed he was a lovely man. He was so personable during Facetime and calls. Simply put, I’m embarrassed and ashamed.

Fans were warned to be cautious when purchasing tickets because not all of the offers on social media are authentic, with many coming from unofficial brands and individual scammers.

Vicky Pattison, the former queen of the jungle, has revealed that one scene from Meghan Markle’s Netflix series involving a Hollywood star caused her to “get the ick.”

‘I’m A Celebrity’ alum Vicky Pattison expressed her disgust about Meghan Markle’s controversial moment on her Netflix show.

In a candid chat with co-host Angela Scanlon during their ‘Get A Grip’ podcast, they delved into the life of the Duchess of Sussex.

When Vicky described how Meghan had a bad reputation in her “With Love, Meghan” series, Mindy Kaling called her maiden name rather than Sussex, she couldn’t hide her disappointment.

Vicky remarked at the time, “When Mindy Kaling was corrected by Meghan. And Mindy is okay, which is nice.

” So I was like, ‘ Oh’. I can’t possibly blame my pal for something, so I’m slapping his wrist on my Netflix series. I’m really into it.

Vicky acknowledged that at first, she was supporting Meghan and Prince Harry’s decision to step aside from their responsibilities.

She reflected: “Harry’s obviously unhappy in his role in the Royal Family. If he wants to take a step back..”

She praised the Prince’s ability to be independent, saying, “He’s always been a little rebellious and rogue.” I was actually opposed to them veering off into the distance, raising their adorable little ones, and being truly content.

Following the release of footage showing the couple twerking in the delivery room on Princess Lillibet’s fourth birthday, Vicky questioned the couple’s judgment and claimed it was likely unfair.

She succinctly summarized: “Ultimately, the general consensus is that it’s a bag of cringe on toast.”

Vicky’s remarks follow a discussion about the impact of PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder) on her relationship with her partner Ercan Ramadan just days prior.

Vicky discussed the impact of the illness on her daily life in a direct conversation with Elizabeth Day for the How To Fail podcast.

She expressed her grief by saying, “It absolutely kills me that for the majority of our lives, I’m not the person he thought he was marrying.”

I’m not myself because that’s the reality. I’m completely unrecognizable. Although it’s manifesting itself that week, I could be screaming and sobbing the next, then completely dissociating, unable to be social, lost, afraid, or whatever it is.

Explaining the emotional burden it places on their relationship, she added: “He’s had to learn to love that version of me as well. And that is really difficult. And that is not something I would ask of me worst enemy, let alone the man I love more than anything else in the world.”

Vicky also praised Ercan’s adaptation to her struggles with PMDD, citing his portrayal as a true reflection of his character.

She continued, “He has learned to understand it because not every man does,” which is a true testament to him and his character. Communication is the one thing that has helped me, I discovered.

I’m entering PMDD week, so I’m telling him. And he says, “That’s okay. We’ll just take it slowly, for example.

Fans may not be able to film singing legend Sabrina Carpenter performing her new single Manchild at her upcoming show, but the singer’s new single is currently number one in the music charts.

American pop star Sabrina Carpenter has said that she is planning to anger her fans with an divisive move. The singer has said that she is considering banning phones from her future concerts after going to a no-phones gig herself.

The singer has stated that she believes the move will “honestly p*** off” her fans, but that won’t stop her. The actress claims that she first came up with the idea when she attended a Silk Sonic concert similar to that.

Sabrina acknowledged that it helped her experience, but that it also made her feel more transported back in time. She said having phones at events feels “super normal,” but she thinks a ban on them would be a good idea.

Sabrina claimed in an interview with Rolling Stone that Silk Sonic had locked my phone when I went there. I’ve never attended a concert with a better experience. I was genuinely concerned that I wasn’t alive when I was in the 1970s.

“Very authentically felt like I was there.” Everyone is laughing, dancing, gazing at one another, and singing. Really, really, really beautiful felt. I’ve seen people using iPhones in movies and on television.

“Unfortunately, it seems very normal to me.” People should have memories, I don’t think so. But take those phones off based on how long I want to be touring and what my age, girl.

You can’t see my face, please. My skin is currently supple and soft. It’s fine, really. When I’m 80 years old up there, please don’t zoom in on me.

Fans can’t record videos of the event because phones being banned from concerts have become more popular in recent years. Ghost and Jack White are just two of the notable acts who have already put the ban into effect.

Music legend Bob Dylan also had a phone ban for his UK tour last year. Sabrina recently came under fire after revealing the album artwork for her new project Man’s Best Friend.

On June 12, she shared two images, one of a dog wearing a collar read “Man’s Best Friend,” and the other of a pop star standing over her and pulling her hair.

One fan expressed excitement over the cover, saying, “I’m excited to hear the music!” simply not that interested in the cover. I have to wonder what is really happening right now when I see this juxtaposed with Bonnie Blue’s petting zoo and Sydney Sweeney stuff.

Second, I thought the undertone of violence in this cover was so euphoric. While another person questioned, “Does she have a personality outside of sex?” The ex-Disney star wrote, “girl yes, and it is gooooood.”

Described on the Karen Millen site as “where power dressing meets feminine charm”, the Pleated Tailored Midi Blazer Dress has a structured bodice with a short sleeved blazer-inspired design. It nips in at the waist and flares out gently over the hips to create an hourglass silhouette, with structured shoulders to balance your figure.
