Lisa Riley has revealed a dream career outside of Emmerdale that she would give her “left arm” to have, admitting she would “love to” take on the role. Speaking on a recent episode of the Celebrity Side Hustles podcast, Lisa, best known as Mandy Dingle in the long-running ITV soap, opened up about her ambitious nature, noting that in her profession, “you never know.”

Lisa, who’s currently in the I’m A Celeb jungle alongside such names as Jack Osbourne, Ruby Wax and Martin Kemp, has also appeared on the Strictly dancefloor and hosted You’ve Been Framed!

First appearing in Emmerdale in the 1990s (making a return to the soap in 2019), the 49-year-old explained how, “as actors”, you’re “only as good as your last episode”, as she shared her goals for the next five to 10 years.

Yes, Lisa said, “You know, as actors, you never know. Your previous episode was your best, so you’re only as good. You are unsure of what will happen next. I’m still very ambitious.

She continued, “I am. I believe that is the source of all of my blood; it’s who I am. I hope my energy and vigor are still as strong and vibrant as ever. I’m hoping so.

Producing Saturday night television is something I would love to do with my left arm. That’s not yet my style! I’d really like to. Yes, I’d really like to work on the production team and the ideas team.

She was then asked if she’d taken on this role before, leading Lisa to chat about a time when she “produced a musical”, which she says involved Kevin Kennedy and was “really successful”.

It follows reports that Lisa “saved the day” in a recent instalment of I’m A Celeb when Loose Women’s Kelly Brook encountered a surprise visitor while she was brushing her teeth.

As the creature As the creature landed on her hand, Kelly squealed and flicked it away — accidentally throwing her toothbrush too. Lisa stepped in, venturing into the bush to retrieve it.

He claimed for the Bush Telegraph, “Lisa saved the day, she got right down there, and I don’t even think she’s allowed down there to be honest.” She is a badman, breaking all the rules, and she is.

Meanwhile, Lisa has also received warm comments from fans. Taking to X, one person said: “Lisa Riley’s winning this.” Another said: “Lisa Riley is going to be like the mama bear of camp this year, I can see it already.”

Johnson passed away a few days after his birthday. Jimmybean, who was Garry George Johnson in actuality, passed away suddenly on Friday night.

His death’s cause is still unknown, though. Just two days after his 69th birthday, he passed away. The drummer who founded The Time and played the drums for Prince recently reflected on his life and said he didn’t think about what he had accomplished on stage.

Jellybean said on Facebook last week, “I’ve been blessed to live a life that was shaped by music, community, and the love of people who believed in me long before the world knew my name. When I look back, I don’t think about the big stages or awards first; instead, I think about The Way, a small community center on Minneapolis’ North Side, where a group of young children picked up instruments and made the decision to become who we were meant to be.

I’ve been wondering what “legacy” actually means as I get older. What do I hope to leave behind? What do I want people to know, particularly our young people?

Susannah Melvoin, a fellow musician, shared a touching tribute on her Instagram page after learning about his passing in a heartfelt manner. She remarked, “RIP Jellybean Johnson, I’m heartbroken! Jellybean Johnson, my gorgeous older brother, has passed away. This band was and continues to be a kind of family that cherished all of us with all the love, music, and kindness that we shared.

“Jellybean was a master at loving you like no other brother could!” My big brother kept watch over me and everyone I loved! At the age of 28, he was already a seasoned musical savant, and I met him when I was 19 years old. He had previously played in the past and was expertly selected to form the band we affectionately and legitimately refer to as the family. Because he was the drummer first, the guitarist second, and he switched to playing guitar in this band. He absorbed oxygen as he breathed his guitar in and out. I’m having a hard time getting this out. &nbsp,

His children and their families require our love and support. Send it their way, if you can. This is a significant loss. My heart breaks for you Marty, because of his unwavering love and light. For you, we are here. I’ll post more information soon.

Fans have since started posting tributes on social media, with one stating, “My friend and brother Mr. drum slinger Jellybean Johnson from The Time passed away this evening. Family prays. God-bless. “

“Fly free Jellybean,” Your legacy will be valued greatly. “Said a second,” “Thank you for all the amazing performances and memories.” Minneapolis will ensure that your legacy endures and that we will always remember you as “typed another” in our hearts. a true musician from Minneapolis. From JB to him, Minnesota Nice developed. A top-notch musician and human. Thanks, brother, for the memories, “heres another heartbroken fan.

When Jellybean moved to North Minneapolis at the age of 13 and started learning music by listening to the radio and using a pair of drumsticks, he was born in Chicago in 2956. He started to gain respect from Jimmy Jam, Terry Lewis, Morris Day, and the late icon, Prince, after honing in on his talent.

Jellybean gained notoriety for his infectious energy throughout each live performance as Minneapolis Sound’s main focus turned out to be his band, The Time.

Jellybean has since established the Minneapolis Sound Museum and continued to play guitar.

Rapper Kanye West reacted in a worrying manner after being stopped by a TikToker Mystery Fashionist for an interview in Japan, which has piqued the interest of his fans.

Kanye West’s fans are concerned that he expressed regret for taking a chance on life, which sparked controversy.

The rapper, 48, took part in a brief street interview with Mystery Fashionist, a TikTok account with nearly 300,000 followers, in Japan. After introducing himself as “Ye from Chi” – in reference to Chicago, where he grew up – he was asked to rate his outfit and to describe it.

As he pointed to his original Yeezy 950 boots, Ye said, “It’s always 10/10,” adding that he had purchased the rest of his clothing from a pop-up he had earlier in the day, which included a pair of jeans, a matching shirt, and a leather jacket. What is a fashion trend you regret announcing to Ye? asked the interviewer, Ajay Porter.

A serious-looking Ye responded, “Life,” after a brief pause. The interview ended there. One user wrote, “He look different, but he looks different,” and fans flooded the TikTok post with angry comments. Another wrote, “Why does he sound so depressed, bro?” “Ye tired man,” another word was added.

He don’t even sound the same, a fan wrote. “Life,” another person said. He isn’t lying, lol. It’s “it’s rough out here!” Another TikTok user remarked, “Always a 10/10 man sounded like old YE for a brief moment.”

“Sending ye love & healing,” one more wrote. “I almost thought this ain’t Ye until he answered ‘Life,'” a fan added. It isn’t the first time Kanye has made his fans worried, with some of his outbursts including rants against his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian and her own dating life and parenting styles, controversial music and anti-Semitic remarks.

With a recent list of allegedly harsh rules he allegedly has for his wife, Bianca Censori, which covers everything from her diet and exercise regimens to whether she can get tattoos or a tan, and being exposed, there have also been concerns about how his relationship with his wife works. Kim’s open letter to her father, who is the father of her four children, led to the rapper’s sad admission.

The reality TV star claimed that Ye’s marriage to her was the “final straw” because she was feeling “emotionally and financially unsecure during an appearance on the Call Her Daddy podcast. The socialite, 44, described how she was constantly agitated because of Kanye’s unpredictable behavior, including allegedly dispensing five of their Lamborghinis during a mental health “episode.”

Kim filed for divorce in 2022 because she was so worried. The mother-of-four said on the podcast, “You never know what you’re going to get when you wake up, and that’s a really unsettling feeling.” Kim claimed that her decision to end her marriage was ultimately down to a “lack of stability” and that Alex Cooper was the “final straw.”

Despite their divorce, she and Kanye, 48, still have four children: North, 12, Saint, 9, Chicago, 7, and Psalm, six. They also have four children. The musician’s “airing out a lot of personal stuff,” which refers to the time he publicly revealed the pair had considered having an abortion after having their first child, also strained Kim and Kanye’s relationship.

“I didn’t like it when someone criticizes my grandmother, aunts, and kids,” I thought. We shouldn’t be together if someone else feels that way, Kim continued in the interview.

When she unintentionally flashed her co-star Joel Dommett during a live ITV2 episode, Kemi Rodgers was left red-faced.

I’m A Celebrity spin-off presenter Kemi Rodgers was left red-faced after she accidentally flashed live on air. The 30-year-old broadcaster donned a black and white animal print skirt paired with a black top as she hosted the live ITV2 episode alongside Joel Dommett, 40, and guest Seann Walsh, 39.

The group were responding to a voice note recorded by a viewer, which asked the panel which luxury item they would choose to send into camp for the 2025 show line-up. Kemi, 30, was discussing how she uses an orthopaedic pillow between her knees when she sleeps, to better align her hips when she snoozes on her side.

Then, to demonstrate how to put the prop between her legs, she took a yellow cushion from the TV show sofa. She unintentionally flashed at Joel and said, “Sorry Joel, sorry. Not that kind of show, I suppose.

The comedian Seann then said, “It’s kicked off, it’s unpacking on unpacked.” Then Joel concluded, “I believe I might have a soft spot for Kemi.” Kemi had to cover her face with her hands before reversing it with a pillow after it seemed to mention him, leaving her with a pillow.

Joel chuckled as he said, “Basically, you’re bringing a pillow.” Then Seann joked, “Quickly, Joel, come to the ads,” and he placed a pillow on his lap.

It was revealed that Joel, a comedian, TV presenter, and ex-jungle campmate would make a comeback alongside co-host radio DJ Kemi ahead of the I’m A Celeb series this year.

Joel had a lot to say about the show, stating: “Our last Queen of the Jungle, Jill Scott, came out last year and she’s just so lovely and so funny and also an incredible athlete. It’s a mad thing, you forget that alongside this she’s also an incredible football player. I’m excited to hear what she thinks about the new campmates.”

Joel, who he’s known “for years and years,” couldn’t help but feel special about Seann. He has been my friend for many years. Seann and I had a competition at our fourth ever gig, and he made it to the semi-finals, which I’ll always remember. He therefore defeated me in a comedy contest, and rightfully so because he was more talented than I am. The hatchet has now been buried. Who will win will be the winner of the live stand-up comedy on Unpacked.

Unfortunately, Seann recently had to cancel a live performance just before his Unpacked appearance due to a mysterious illness.

Earlier this month, Joel told OK! Magazine, he’s bringing his wife, model Hannah Cooper, 36, and their two-year-old along for the ride in the jungle.

Wilde, the couple’s son, was born in September 2023, but Joel, who is the couple’s son, admits with a grin that his jungle adventures won’t let him get too excited. He is “very chill.” And I do realize how fortunate we are to have that. And I think they would be absolute nightmares if there were another,” he says.

After Joel came in second place on I’m A Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here!, Hannah’s romance with Joel started in 2016. Just one year later, Joel popped the question to the pair right away after the pair had a verbal exchange. In Mykonos, they tied the knot in a stunning beachfront ceremony in 2019. He admits that welcoming baby Wilde a few years later would make for the ideal next chapter.

Joel said, “I’m really excited to be back,” when referring to his return to the stage. I’m not sure how long ago it has been since I did the jungle on my own. It’s really, really nice to end those ten years and to be able to go back in time so long. It’s just so lovely to see it through the eyes of newcomers who enter and witness their enjoyment (as well as their enjoyment).

Joel competed in the 16th series, finishing third behind Gogglebox star Scarlett Moffatt, who won the title. Joel admits that their show is much harder to create than how it appears on television, while also describing his Unpacked co-host Kemi Rogers as “so easy to work with.”

The Duchess of Sussex has shared exactly what attracted her to Prince Harry in a candid new interview.

In her first magazine cover since joining the Royal Family, Meghan has taken part in a huge Harper’s Bazaar photoshoot, plumping for a powerful bare-faced look for the glossy snaps.

In the sit-down chat, Meghan gave rare insight into the dynamic of her marriage, the realities of running her lifestyle business, As Ever, and parenting Archie and Lilibet in sunny Monecito. She even explores the “mistakes” she’s made since self-exiling from royal life and moving back to the States with her family.

However, her revelations about Harry really piqued people’s ire. Meghan revealed in her most intimate interview to date that she first fell in love with the Duke when they first met.

Meghan said, “He loves me so strongly, fully, and he also has a different perspective because he sees media,” Meghan said. You have someone who has this childlike wonder and playfulness, because no one in the world loves me more than him, so I know he will always make sure he has my back. He made that clear to me, and I was so drawn to it. That is reflected in every aspect of our daily lives.

The former Suits actress, who also unveiled the trailer for the festive episode of her Netflix series With Love, Meghan, this week, also provided a glimpse into motherhood with young kids, the Express reports.

Prince Archie, 6, and Princess Lilibet, 4, are the parents of Meghan and Harry, who both retired as senior royals and moved to California in 2020. The Duchess said, “I love that I can work from home, and my office is right next to the kitchen. It is a wonderful luxury. When I’m in the middle of a meeting, whether it’s about a brand’s profit or something new, (Lilibet) comes and sits on my lap.

Meghan also revealed that as she became more famous, her boundaries increased. She told the magazine, “You find different ways to protect yourself, whether it’s through self-preservation or through just growing up.”

She acknowledged that she occasionally allows herself grace when she makes business errors, but she didn’t go into specifics about how they might have occurred.

Meghan continued, “I’m a mother of two children who are constantly learning something new.” Every day, I witness them confronting challenges that seem unsurmountable. But you can remember and say, “I know it’s going to be difficult right now, but trust me, that’s going to happen so quickly.” ‘”.

Spencer Matthews and Vogue Williams’ relationship began when she revealed that she initially turned him down for a date.

Vogue Williams has disclosed that she initially “politely declined” Spencer Matthews’ request for a date before a concerning prediction later materialised. The I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! star was gearing up to take part in Channel 4’s The Jump when she encountered Spencer in 2017.

Not long after the Irish presenter’s breakup with Westlife’s Brian McFadden, this occurred. Vogue stated in her book Big Mouth that she had to decline the former Made in Chelsea actress’ invitation to go on a date following their first encounter.

Vogue recalled: “As soon as we left our first ski session, Spencer was DMing me on Twitter suggesting we go for drinks, which I wasn’t up for, but he settled for getting my number.”

Despite his determination, Vogue initially stuck to her guns, reports the Irish Mirror.

Spencer didn’t make quick decisions. He called Vogue shortly afterward to request that they go on an evening out with him and his friends. Vogue once more rejected her, unsure whether combining romance with a demanding filming schedule.

She continued, “Not long after, he called and asked me to go out with him and his friends, but I politely declined.

She continued, describing the pivotal moment that gave rise to their friendship and later romance. “We didn’t until we flew to Austria where we saw each other once more. We kept getting married despite the fact that neither of us had any intentions at the time. I tried to deny the relationship when my sister came over to see me while we were filming, but she and her partner used mine while I was staying in his room, so she was aware of what was happening.

The podcaster had to withdraw from the competition just as the cameras started to roll because of a knee problem that she had sustained during ski cross training. She was prevented from competing by the injury, which required surgery, and Amy Willerton assumed her place as her replacement.

Vogue acknowledged that she already felt a sense of foreboding about what might go wrong following the serious injury.

She explained that I didn’t clip my ski boot in properly before the competition started and that I had my anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) snapped. Despite how much I enjoyed that show, I had to compete in every event during training, so it was well worth it.

I had a fear that something might happen to me because I had escaped that day in my life with little harm, and it felt like my turn.

A romance that blossomed since their initial interactions on The Jump began. The reality star proposed in January 2018 and the pair wed in June of that year. Vogue, 40, accepted.
