Ellie Goulding and Beau Minniear’s pal gushed about their relationship last night — as it emerged the singer is pregnant.

The pop star, 38, is expecting her second child after welcoming Arthur Ever Winter Jopling in April 2021 with then husband Caspar Jopling, who is an art dealer. They split last year, though, after a five-year marriage.

However, Ellie’s friends have now commended her relationship with Beau, a 28-year-old actor best known for his roles in Night at the Eagle Inn, The Thieves of Motor City, and Bad Haircut. One friend described Beau as “absolutely in love,” he’s a true romantic, and they’re very sweet together. She is very happy, and it’s really lovely to watch.

Now Ellie, who has peaked the UK charts with several tunes including Burn and Love Me Like You Do, is expecting a baby with Beau, it has emerged. The singer announced her pregnancy at the Fashion Awards last night by showing off her bump.

The singer showed off her pregnancy at the ceremony by wearing a black crop top and low-waist black pants. Her long leather jacket remained unbuttoned despite her enthusiastic reaction to the cameras.

Ellie and Caspar broke up in February of 2024. Beau was first thought to be dating the singer after the two were seen on a series of dates over the summer, including a romantic minibreak to Italy. They went public after their holiday when they attended a boxing match together.

A source earlier this year stated to The Sun that Beau and Ellie share many similar interests, such as exercise and art. They’ve been having fun together, and they’re undoubtedly a charming couple.

One of the most successful British female singers of the twenty-first century is Ellie, who was born in Hereford. She has received 43 billion streams in total for her songs, including Anything Could Happen and How Long Will I Love You.

Ellie has been writing new music in addition to having a son and raising one more child. She stated at the end of 2024, “I’ve been writing about what’s been happening in my life.”

“But also just observations, friends, and my connection to nature,” which is something I’ve always gravitated toward writing about, perhaps slightly more advanced or evolved since the most recent album.

The 1990 Christmas classic Home Alone, which made Macaulay Culkin famous, has been named the UK’s top movie to watch during the holiday season.

Home Alone has been named the nation’s favourite Christmas film, according to a poll. The 1990 American comedy, which made a global star out then-10-year-old Macaulay Culkin, topped the list, while the 2003 British romantic comedy Love Actually starring Emma Thompson and Hugh Grant took second place.

It placed third, followed by the James Stewart film It’s a Wonderful Life from 1946, and Elf, which came out in third place in 2003. The British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) polled 2, 000 UK residents, and 17% of them said they had no idea which film to watch next.

Meanwhile, nearly half (44%) said Die Hard, the action thriller starring Bruce Willis, is not a Christmas film, despite it being set during the festive season.

One in five (20%) people chose Home Alone as their favorite Christmas movie, while nearly one in ten (95%) chose Love Actually, 8% chose It’s a Wonderful Life, and 7% chose Elf.

More than two out of five (43%) said beginning December was the best time to start watching Christmas movies, with nearly one in ten (8%) saying they enjoy watching them all year long.

More than half of respondents (53%) said they consider the age when picking a movie to watch together over the holidays, which according to the BBFC demonstrated how responsible, age-appropriate viewing is still a key component of festive film nights.

With Home Alone being named the UK’s preferred Christmas movie, according to David Austin, CEO of the BBFC, heartwarming, family-friendly tales still feature at the heart of the country’s holiday culture.

Every household can make confident viewing choices this holiday season thanks to the BBFC’s commitment to providing age ratings and content advice.

A trip to the big screen over the holidays is a chance to sit back, switch off, and enjoy great stories together, according to Tim Richards, founder and CEO of the cinema chain Vue.

Christmas serves as a reminder of how powerful a shared experience can be because it has always brought people together.

Ruby Wax and other camp members were evicted after a gruesome Bushtucker Trial this evening, which included a fight.

I’m A Celebrity viewers have delivered their latest brutal verdict. Vogue Williams became the third of this year’s stars to be send packing from camp, following TV star Alex Scott and comedian Eddie Kadi over the ITV show’s famous rope bridge.

Many fans were angry that she had surpassed other stars who they believed should have gotten the chop in the end. How has vogue changed since Martin and Kelly, according to one viewer? Another wrote, “I can’t believe Vogue is gone.”

Vogue, who was one of the late arrivals in camp along with Tom Read Wilson, was praised by some for her time in camp. One fan wrote: “The trial with the balls trying to knock her over will be the overriding memory of Vogue. She was fit enough to get 11 stars. Respect.”

Her departure came after she clashed with Angry Ginge in camp over his suggestion that people should reuse their dishes for food – and save him the washing-up. Vogue, 40, was first to respond to his idea, saying quickly: “People have the right to have a clean bowl in the morning and a clean whatever they want in the afternoon and a clean one in the evening.”

The eviction came after Ruby Wax took on a fearsome Bushtucker Trial – tackling snakes and lizards with her lucky red pants wrapped around her neck. The TV star, 72, who recently became camp leader after being voted by her co-stars, volunteered to take on the Misfortune Tellers challenge, saying: “I can’t let them down.” She was faced with six ‘misfortune teller’ machines and tasked with going into them and retrieving stars while faced with blue-tongued lizards, eels, green ants, spiders and large snakes. However, she struggled with some knots and padlocks, retrieving just five of a possible 10 stars before her time was up – meaning smaller rations for dinner. Ruby returned to camp insisting: “I’m really sorry.” However, her reassuring co-stars gave her a round of applause for her efforts. The camp has been left reeling by the departures of TV star Alex Scott and comedian Eddie Kadi in recent days and last night tensions rose over the washing up.

Angry Ginge, 24, again complained about the amount of cleaning he was having to do because his campmates take a clean dish each time they eat – but his suggestion they reuse them for breakfast and lunch got short shrift. Podcaster Vogue Williams, 40, insisted: “People have the right to have a clean bowl in the morning and a clean whatever they want in the afternoon and a clean one in the evening.” Kelly Brook, 46, added: “If you’re leaving food in camp, by the time you get back to your tin at lunch time, it’s going to be covered in ants, it’s really unhygienic and it’s not very nice, so no one wants to do it.”

After two cups and a wooden spoon were left out the night before, rats retreated to the camp, according to I’m A Celeb viewers.

Rapper Aitch is the favorite to win I’m A Celeb this year, while Angry Ginge is still the bookies’ favorite. Tom Read Wilson and Jack Osbourne, both stars of Celebrities Go Dating, are third and fourth.

After the excitement of its debut in October, Lucy Beaumont has spoken about her Celebrity Traitors adventure and thinks it will be simple to entice significant names.

We should expect to see some huge stars enter the Celebrity Traitors castle next year, Faithful Lucy Beaumont believes. The contestant from the first series believes the BBC hit’s overwhelming success means there could be A-Listers aplenty putting their hands up to have a go at the ultimate game of deceit and betrayal.

The comic revealed the cast all still stay in touch via a WhatsApp group and she doesn’t think bosses will have any problem at all recruiting big names when the programme returns. More than 15 million people watched Alan Carr go all the way in October, double-crossing rugby legend Joe Marler and Ted Lasso’s Nick Mohammed in a breathless finale.

Lucy says the show was so well-liked that little children were posing for photos with her while she was buying her milk and bread, knowing it will be easy to sell to celebrities.

“I’m suddenly really popular with nine-year-old children,” she told The Mirror. “It’s so weird. I was in co-op just doing some shopping and there was a line of just really young children wanting a photo. Younger kids really got into it, which I don’t think anyone was expecting.

I only watched one television show. After everyone else, I watched really late. I do that because I only recently watched Lost, which was 30 years ago! The format was really clever, which I liked. People who would behave hostile toward one another didn’t really matter to the producers, which was very important. Similarly, David [Olusoga] was there. One of the nicest people I’ve ever met in television is genuinely him. He would probably start having a fight with no one!

When she inquired if some big names would follow after its debut success, she responded, “Oh, yes. Nobody would want to do it, in my opinion. It is simply incredible large. Nobody for weeks was talking about Alan. Everyone wants to do it, I’d imagine, but you can’t really get any bigger than Stephen Fry, can you?

She went on to explain what we don’t see and said, “It was full of just genuinely really lovely people. Everyone had a fantastic time. We all maintain contact, and we are all a part of a sizable WhatsApp group. You didn’t really feel like it was for TV because you couldn’t see cameras outside, so it was like a staff team bonding get-away.

They are secret, and nothing about it was made. You are then left to it. No one is directing anyone on the floor as they enter. No one had any direction at all, and it was so early in the process that I started to feel like we were dragging. But we soon realized it wasn’t really required.

Million viewers tuned into every episode, so it’s no surprise to read Virgin Media’s new research, which shows that Brits swap social plans for “me time” saving an average of £130.74 per month.

More than two-thirds of people believe that staying in and watching TV is one of their favorite ways to unwind after a long week, in honor of this widespread embrace of the “Joy of Missing Out” they have teamed up to celebrate this sentiment.

Everyone needs that full family event, she continued, “I believe Celebrity Traitors and the response shows that.” Friends claim to be devastated because they were the only people who sat with the teenagers at the time!

“There are some shows where people go that far, and they’re so significant, aren’t they?” I adore television so much that every night I need to watch it to unwind. I am unable to simply go to bed. Everyone needs to be aware of British television because it is truly incredible.

Peter Kay has opened up about his weight loss journey, including a nightmarish experience he had at a gym, where he was left sobbing in the toilets.

The comedian has lost a lot of weight in recent years, but admitted in a new interview that his journey to slim down has not been easy. He explained that he had tried going to the gym multiple times but struggled to keep going.

He claimed that because of men talking while he was undressed, his first experience was at a Bolton gym, which he couldn’t handle. I joined David Lloyd in a Bolton gym. And you consider, “Yes,” before adding weights. I then went to pool because it was simpler. You understand why I halted my trip. Men are simply speaking to you without clothing.

This was revealed in an interview with Sara Cox on BBC Radio 2, and Peter went on to say that he tried going to the gym again, but found it to be even worse.

A lad at an old school gym in central Manchester had me pull a tire outside, according to Peter. I used to tell him I needed a wee and that I would go to the toilet and sob because it was typical old school.

Peter claims that he has tried to lose weight for years. He admitted to trying everything, including dieting and weight loss programs.

Peter has been talking about his tour, Better Late Than Never, along with weight loss. The proceeds from the numerous extensions will go to 12 cancer charities for the final performances in 2026. He added, “Unfortunately, everyone knows someone who has been affected by [the list’s 12 charities], and I just hope people support it.”

Sara Cox is on Radio 2 on weekdays from 4 to 7pm while Peter Kay’s Diary: The Monthly Memoir of a Boy From Bolton is available.
