Justin Bieber had taken a swipe at wife Hailey last month on social media amid a worrying period, during which fans have expressed their concern for the popstar

Troubled popstar Justin Bieber has confessed to being “broken” and “angry”.

The singer opened up about his “anger issues” in a new post on Instagram, the latest in a string of self reflections he has uploaded in recent months. Fans have become concerned for the star’s mental health after disturbing social media posts included close-up selfies and blurry images.

But in a candid post today, Bieber, 31, said: “People keep telling me to heal. Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself, I would have already? I know I’m broken. I know I have anger issues… I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. The harder I try to grow, the more focused on myself I am.

“Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly, I’m exhausted with thinking about myself lately. Aren’t you?”

Concern has also been shared for Bieber’s relationship with wife Hailey, following spats played out on social media. Bieber blanked his wife on Mother’s Day and, consequently, she chose not to wish him a public happy Father’s Day on Sunday.

They married in South Carolina in September 2019 and, in August last year, model and socialite Hailey gave birth to a son. Since then, the Biebers have had anything but domestic bliss and, earlier this year, the Canadian popstar admitted on social media he struggles with feeling like a “fraud”.

It is a far cry from Bieber’s heady days as a confident 16-year-old prodigy when Baby, his track with Ludacris, peaked at third in the UK charts and fifth in the US. He would, within five years, top both charts with What Do You Mean?, a fun and summery number blasted out at parties across the world.

Fans – reminiscent of that successful Bieber era – took to social media themselves recently to post messages of support. One person said: “Awh good love him seriously struggling it’s looking like Liam Payne and Britney [Spears] someone needs to help him before it’s to late.” As a second wrote: “So hard and sad to watch. Why are the people around him not helping him when he’s clearly struggling. He’s not clear at all and hurting.”

“Babe. Please go get help,” another chimed in, as a fourth commented: “Omg men u need therapy ur case is serious.”

The No7 Future Renew Damage Reversal Night Serum has been clinically proven to reverse visible signs of skin damage while you sleep – and it’s been a huge hit with shoppers

Boots’ own No7 has long been a household name when it comes to makeup and skincare. But in recent years, the brand has seriously raised the bar when it comes to its newest innovations.

One of their latest – the Future Renew Damage Reversal Night Serum – quickly cemented itself as a bathroom cupboard essential among shoppers and beauty editors alike. During launch week back in April, it sold one every seven seconds, making it the bestselling skincare product on Boots.com.

No7’s Future Renew Night Serum is a science-backed formula that’s been clinically proven to reverse visible signs of skin damage while you sleep. Backed by years of research with the University of Manchester, it’s actually the brand’s most scientifically advanced nighttime serum to date, and uses chronotechnology to sync with your skin’s natural overnight repair cycle.

Another serum that uses similar technology is the Estée Lauder Advanced Night Repair Serum Synchronized Multi-Recovery Complex, which uses Chronolux Power Signal Technology, which is designed to enhance the skin’s natural repair and renewal processes.

When it comes to the No7 formula, though, it contains a world-first super peptide blend, designed to reverse visible signs of skin damage, including fine lines, wrinkles, uneven tone and texture, and dry skin. It also includes Lindera Strychnifolia, a plant extract that helps strengthen the skin’s internal clock and boost nighttime repair signals, alongside hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, vitamin C and E.

Ahead of its launch, I blind-tested the serum and documented the experience. Within two weeks, friends started commenting on how glowy my skin looked and by week four, I noticed a real shift – my usual redness had calmed down significantly, and the texture of my skin felt smoother and more refined.

By the eight-week mark, my blemishes had reduced, my complexion looked more even, and my skin felt clearer and more resilient overall. I enjoyed using it so much, I’ve kept it in my regular skincare rotation and find myself regularly reaching for it. I especially like the relaxing DreamScentz hypoallergenic fragrance, which is a really lovely way to wind down at the end of the day.

Some people may still be looking for an anti-ageing product with a little more power behind it, though. In which case, Medik8’s Crystal Retinal is an incredibly popular, science-backed option. Despite No7’s serum not containing Vitamin A, it is clinically proven to reverse visible signs of skin damage in 100% of users, and has racked up some impressive reviews on the Boots website, too.

One 86-year-old reviewer noticed visible improvement, commenting: “Really good. I am 86, but I’m sure there is a difference since using both serums .” Another wrote: “I’m heading for my mid-70s and I really can see a difference for the better – just wish it wasn’t so expensive.”

“My skin feels and looks healthy,” said a third. “People have noticed my facial skin and asked me if I have been on holiday. I reply no and then they ask how I have attained such lovely skin.”

One shopper has been using the product for two months and said: “This is the only product that I used differently in my routine, so I know that this must be the one making the difference. My skin looks healthier and feels smoother, and my fine lines are less noticeable.”

The main criticisms the product has received, though, are regarding the price to product ratio. One wrote: “A very good product but the price for 25ml seems a bit steep. Doesn’t last long at all and I’ve been very sparing.”

Another added: “I liked the product but after three weeks using it once a day it ran out. It did not last long enough to see if it did anything. I have never spent so much on a face product before.”

A 25ml bottle of the No7 Future Renew Night Serum comes in at £39.95, but shoppers can get double the amount of product for £49.95 with the 50ml tube. And, by stacking some current deals at Boots, shoppers could get it even cheaper, too.

At the moment, there’s up to 15% off selected No7 which takes the price of the larger serum down to £47.45. It’s also on three for two with the cheapest item being free, meaning customers can get three 50ml tubes for £94.90. And finally, anyone who uses the code REVERSE10 at the checkout can get £10 off, slashing the overall cost to £84.90 – averaging at £28.30 per tube.

Moss Farm Children’s Home in Altrincham, Cheshire, was run by Real Housewives of Cheshire star Ampika Pickston and her company AP Care Homes Limited, but it’s been forced to close

A children’s home operated by a television personality has been shut down due to concerns over the quality of care provided.

Moss Farm Children’s Home, managed by Real Housewives of Cheshire star Ampika Pickston and her firm AP Care Homes Limited, has been ordered to cease operations permanently.

The Altrincham-based care home had previously been closed, but an appeal was lodged to maintain its registration. However, Ms Pickston’s appeal has now been rejected by a judge. Judge Siobahn Goodrich and a panel concluded at a first-tier tribunal that there was a “significant” risk of “harm to the health, well-being, and safety” of the children residing at the home.

The Ofsted investigation into the home revealed an incident where a child had gone “missing from the home” and subsequently “made an allegation of sexual assault” The report noted: “The action taken in response to this to safeguard the child was unclear and undocumented.”

In light of the report’s findings, the panel decided that the care home should “no longer be authorised to carry on the regulated activity”.

The home, which registered with Ofsted in June 2023, was established “to provide care and accommodation for up to four children with emotional and/or behavioural difficulties.”

The Mirror has reached out to the carehome for comment.

Inspectors also discovered a high turnover of managers at the home, who reportedly voiced concerns about policies to Ms Pickston.

Ofsted also highlighted a “problematic approach to staff” from Ms Pickston.

The agency claimed that this had “overruled management decisions and demanded statements in support of her wild and unanchored views regarding views regarding Ofsted”.

In the scathing report, it was revealed how “the Home’s arrangements for protecting children from harm were not effective” and that children were left “at continuing risk of harm”.

Despite these concerns, the report did concede that the home was “high end in terms of facilities”, and that “in terms of comfort the view could be easily reached that any child would be lucky to live there”.

However, the decision was made to reject Ms Pickston’s appeal and revoke the home’s registration.

The report concluded: “In our view the risk of harm to the health, well-being and safety of children who may come to live at the Home is significant and has been amply demonstrated by objective consideration of the experiences of many of the children who have lived there.”

After the ruling, Ampika Pickston said she was “heartbroken” by the Ofsted outcome and alleged that the watchdog had “bullied” members of staff into giving negative statements and promised to make a documentary about her ordeal.

In a video statement posted on YouTube, May 26, Pickston said: “My registration was granted on July 1 2023 to become a registered children’s home. Within four months of the home becoming operational, Ofsted inspectors had placed a notice to close my home down.

Danny Dyer has spoken about the highs and lows of his career including when he was overdoing the partying and had to take time away from TV

Danny Dyer has revealed his moment of clarity to make a change to his life when he was “slowly killing himself” after being “off his head” after the National TV Awards.

The acclaimed actor, who has won rave reviews for his performance in the Disney+ drama Rivals, also looks back and said his Eastenders co-star Luisa Bradshaw-White was the only one who told him he had an issue and helped his sort his life out insisting “No one else would say that to me.” Danny is now enjoying a blossoming career and has his life on track, having recently walked daughter Dani down the aisle to marry footballer Jarrod Bowen.

But looking back with interviewer Louis Theroux, Danny said previously he knew he was “destroying himself” and his career. At the time he was on EastEnders playing Mick Carters since 2013, but he would head into rehab in Cape Town in 2016.

Danny, 47, said: “I had a moment of clarity where I had been on it all night after the NTAs. I think I’d won and that’s always on like a Tuesday or something and I had to go to work. There’s another thing with EastEnders, is that they go, yeah, come celebrate NTAs, but you are up at seven in the morning. So anyway, I’d just overdone it again and I just could not work out how to get my jeans on.

“I was just sitting on my ensuite toilet trying to work out what leg goes in what, and I don’t why. I’ve sort of had many of them moments over the years of me being completely off my head. But that one really resonated with me. It was more because I looked up, my wife was just watching me and she looked shattered and she looked ill.

“And of course, you know, the drug taking and the madness that comes with it, you’re destroying yourself and your body and you’re slowly killing yourself, but you also, you’re really upsetting the people around you. I just looked at her, even through this moment, I was off my head. But everything seemed to just sort of go, what the f*ck are you doing to people around you that love you? And it was that moment and I could hear Artie, my son, who’s now 11, he must have been 3. He was running around downstairs and I think I’d got rid of the last straggler out the house.

“Yeah, So I had a car picking me up to take me to work and it was just this moment I thought, sh*t, you’re going to die. You’re going to kill yourself. You’re not happy. You’re spanking all your money on drugs. You’re destroying everything around you. It’s weird, that moment, because I went straight to work that day and I was a bit off my head and I did say, ‘Listen, I need help. I can’t do this anymore. I need help. I don’t know what it is, but this is a crossroads in my life where I need a gear change and I need it now and I don’t think I’m going to survive this year’.

Danny made the decision to go to rehab in Cape Town after this awards show after-party at his house.

He added: “And so, you know, I want give a shout out to Louisa Bradshaw White, who played my sister Tina, who really came to the front for me, more than anybody else.

“She’d always said that she thinks I’ve got an issue and problem. No one else would say that to me… I don’t know, people don’t want to busy themselves in your life either.

She would always say, “whenever you’re ready” you know, that was her vibe with me and then I was ready.

“She’s had her issues like a lot of people have really, and a lot of people in my life, I’ve seen a lot of people go through some quite heavy stuff and always thought, oh f*cking hell, that’s quite heavy, glad I’m not that bad. Actually, turns out I was, it just took me a longer route to get there.”

Danny, who is married with three children, previously told the BBC receiving a letter from his daughter Dani while at a rehab facility in 2016 was what convinced him to continue his treatment.

He shot to fame in the 1999 film Human Traffic, is now one of the most recognisable stars of British TV and film. Danny played Mick Carter in BBC soap EastEnders from 2013 to 2022 and has now starred in his own comedy series Mr. Bigstuff and big budget dramas like Rivals.

He told Louis Theroux he is “proud” of his upcoming film ‘Three Quick Breaths’.

On a lighter note he also talked about seeing a UFO and being convinced the exist.

It was an orb going through the sky. So then that’s a UFO. So, whatever you want to make of that, that’s the fact,” he said.

He also said he won’t be trying to crack Hollywood anytime soon, despite being encouraged to try.

He explained: “I understand that’s where the work is and that’s the ultimate, but can I be bothered to go and live out there on my own? Talking American all the time to everybody pretending I’m someone else.”

Football legend David Beckham had a touching moment with his mum Sandra as they headed back to his working class roots amid the ongoing family drama with son Brooklyn

Sir David Beckham’s mum cried when she reunited with her football icon son for the first time since his knighthood. The sports star, 50, finally received his long-awaited title from King Charles on Friday as part of The King’s Birthday Honours List.

It comes after years of hard work from David through his football career and charity work off the pitch. The accolade now means he is a ‘Sir,’ and wife Victoria is a ‘Lady’.

However, his exciting news came at a very tough time for the Beckham family as the fallout with eldest son Brooklyn, 26, rumbles on. The aspiring chef is said to have found out about David’s knighthood through the media and has reportedly stopped responding to messages from his famous family.

In a series of blows, Brooklyn failed to attend any of David’s 50th birthday celebrations, acknowledge his knighthood and share anything for Father’s Day. Despite this, David has remained proud of his recent achievement as he has received the support from the rest of his family.

To celebrate, David returned to his working class roots as he headed to a traditional pie shop in London with his mum Sandra and sister Joanne. He shared: “Lunch with Mum, haven’t seen her since the news mum cried when she arrived, cried during lunch and cried when I was leaving x special moment for us all love you mum x.”

On Sunday, Brooklyn dealt another blow as he ignored Father’s Day. For the family who have long used social media to post gushing personal messages, it seems Brooklyn’s silence could be deafening.

His younger brothers Romeo and Cruz led the way in paying tribute to David for the special day. Cruz shared a snap of him chilling in the sun with his sports star dad and captioned the post saying: “Happy Father’s Day, I love you x.”

Meanwhile, Romeo posted two pictures of him and his father. One was of him as a child with David and he captioned it simply saying: “love you.”

David shared his own public message to his children as he appeared to hint at the feud. He shared: “My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…

“Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.”

A similar pattern followed on Friday when David was officially made a Sir. Brooklyn was nowhere to be seen on social media, adding fuel to the already blazing fire that the family are in the midst of a turbulent time.

Taking to Instagram, he instead shared three packets of pretzel pita chips. According to sources, David never told Brooklyn about his accolade and the former aspiring chef learned about the achievement through the media.

A source for Brooklyn told Page Six he was thrilled his dad was finally receiving the honour, while a source quoted as someone close to his parents told the publication: “Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he’s not responding to those that try to connect.”

Yet a separate Brooklyn source denied the claim, saying: “This seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honour being bestowed on Brooklyn’s father.”

Friends actor Matthew Perry died aged 54 as he was found in the hot tub at his Los Angeles home in 2023, which was ruled as an accident from the ‘acute effects of ketamine’

Dr. Salvador Plasencia has agreed to plead guilty to distributing ketamine to Matthew Perry before his tragic death. The Friends actor was found dead in the hot tub at his Los Angeles home on October 28, 2023 aged 54.

An investigation found the cause of Perry’s death to be ruled as an accident from the ‘acute effects of ketamine’, the exact manner of which came from drowning.

Plasencia, also known as Dr. P., was one of five people charged last year. He faces up to 40 years in prison for the four counts of distribution of ketamine.

The physician has agreed to plead guilty, according to a plea agreement filed on Monday. He had previously been facing a variety of charges, including altering and falsifying documents or records related to the federal investigation.

Dr. Mark Chavez, Perry’s live-in personal assistant Kenneth Iwamasa and alleged drug dealer Erik Fleming all pleaded guilty. Jasveen Sangha – who is allegedly known in Hollywood circles as the ‘Ketamine Queen’ – pleaded not guilty.

Following his guilty plea, personal assistant Iwamasa helped in the cases against Plasencia, charged with illegally selling ketamine to Perry in the month before his death, and Sangha, a woman who authorities say sold the actor the lethal dose of ketamine.

Dr. Chavez – who pleaded guilty to his charges of conspiring to distribute the surgical anaesthetic ketamine – allegedly formed the bridge between Perry, Sangha and Plasencia.

US attorney Martin Estrada said in announcing the charges “the doctors preyed on Perry’s history of addiction in the final months of his life last year to provide him with ketamine in amounts they knew were dangerous”.

Perry struggled with addiction for years, dating back to his time on Friends, when he became one of the biggest stars of his generation as Chandler Bing.

He starred alongside Jennifer Aniston, Courteney Cox, Lisa Kudrow, Matt LeBlanc and David Schwimmer for 10 seasons from 1994 to 2004 on NBC’s megahit sitcom.

In his memoir, he admitted that he struggled to watch Friends because it reminded him of the tough times he went through. “I didn’t watch the show, and haven’t watched the show, because I could go, drinking, opiates, drinking, cocaine,” he later added.

“I could tell season by season by how I looked. That’s why I don’t wanna watch it, because that’s what I see.” Perry explained: “I was taking 55 Vicodin a day, I weighed 128 lbs, I was on Friends getting watched by 30 million people — and that’s why I can’t watch the show, ‘cause I was brutally thin.”

“I had a rule that I would never drink or do drugs while working,” he said. “Because I had too much respect for the five people I was working with. So I was never wasted while working.”
