In a furious rant, actress Bella Thorne appeared to be angry with Nicola Peltz years prior to their feud with Brooklyn Beckham’s well-known family.

Bella Thorne appears to have hit out at “very mean girl”, Nicola Peltz in a scathing outburst. In recent weeks, Nicola’s alleged behaviour has become the topic of conversation due to her strained relationship with her husband, Brooklyn Beckham’s famous family.

However, actress Bella criticized a “mean girl” billionaire in 2015, and it has been suggested that Nicola, a socialite, was the subject of her remark. Bella, 27, made the most of who she could have been talking about after her rather obscene comments.

There had been speculation that she may have been talking about reality stars Kendall and Kylie Jenner, as well as their friend Gigi Hadid. At the time of her comments, Bella said she stayed away from the billionaire “at all costs” and said she “hated” the woman, not because of her wealth, but because of her attitude.

The actress claimed that because she is a billionaire, she doesn’t hate her. She continued, “She is a billionaire and makes sure everyone knows who she is,” adding, “I don’t like her. Bella continued, “I never say hello to her.” Her siblings don’t treat her similarly. She is the only one.

She stated to HuffPostLive, “One of the reasons I dislike her is because she’s been a billionaire since she was a young child, and she’s never had to work for anything in her life.” Nicola also has a sister and six brothers. Additionally, Nelson Peltz’s previous marriages resulted in her having two half-siblings.

Peltz’s father is a billionaire investor who initially started his career as a delivery truck driver before working his way up the ladder and launching one of the biggest food distribution companies in the world. His estimated net worth is believed to be around $1.6 billion, while her mother, Claudia Heffner Peltz, is also a former model.

In addition to owning a sizable estate in Florida, the Peltz family also owns a sizable estate in Bedford, New York. In the independent film Affluenza, Nicola and Greg Sulkin first made the comments in 2015. There was rife of speculating at the time of her remarks regarding the billionaire’s identity.

One social media user wrote, “If I had to pick one girl, I’d put my bet on Nicola Peltz,” “Bella might not have been singling out one.” She starred in a movie with her current boyfriend Gregg, and she literally comes from a billionaire family. She is also an actress who is around the same age as Bella.

The girl she was referring to is Nicola Peltz from Transformers’ Bates Motel, she added. Nicola, who was born wealthy, is now working in the Hollywood sector. They haven’t stopped mumbling about one another since a long time ago. Although she is close to Will Peltz (her brother), she still doesn’t like Nicola, despite her belief that her siblings are good.

A third person said, “She’s talking about Nicola Pelt lmao.” It is thought that Nicola and her famous in-laws are at odds with one another. Nicola and Brooklyn flew into London earlier this month to celebrate David Beckham’s 50th birthday, but they ultimately were unable to make it to any of the festivities.

A source close to Nicola, however, rejected claims that she had been controlling her husband. Speaking to the Mirror, a pal said: “We are at this point because Nicola, an outsider coming into the Beckham family, has been able to help Brooklyn see the emotional abuse and toxic behavior within his family, that it’s not healthy and it’s not normal and it’s not ok.”

However, a source close to the Beckham family disputed the allegations and called it a “deeply unpleasant attack.” They claimed that because it is so absurd and patently false, it doesn’t even warrant a response.

Bella’s spokesperson was contacted by The Mirror for comment.

Despite being diagnosed with a rare, aggressive cancer, veteran actor Ian Smith has revealed how experimental treatment and unexpected side effects have given him new energy and hope.

Ian Smith, best known to millions as Harold Bishop from Neighbours, has opened up about his ongoing battle with cancer and how he’s surprising even his doctors.

The 86-year-old Australian actor, who was diagnosed with a condition that initially gave him little hope, made an appearance on The Morning Show on Channel Seven this week to offer fans an upbeat update on his condition. “I have cancer,” I said. Because doctors tell me I have, I am aware of that. But there is no pain aside from that. Smith revealed that I was supposed to pass away in March. Seriously, I’m having the easiest ride.

Smith was discovered to have the rare and aggressive lung cancer pulmonary pleomorphic carcinoma in December. His prognosis was grim, and doctors initially described the illness as “non-fixable.” He has defied all expectations, however, having been placed on an experimental treatment regimen that he humorously described as “being a “guinea pig.” He smiled and said, “I want to go forever.” “I don’t want to stop acting, but I don’t want to play Harold anymore.”

Smith claims that the treatment has given rise to an unanticipated twist despite the seriousness of the diagnosis. I may not have ever felt better. Everyone says, “Look at your hair, everyone,” he said in a laugh as he looked at me. They all seem jealous that my hair is so thick. After the treatment, I began to lose my hair completely, going bald. After that, I started receiving immunotherapy and had “curly hair” on my head.

He shares that he now anticipates “a year, maybe two” more of life than doctors initially had. He is both realistic and optimistic. The veteran performer insists he isn’t stepping away from the art that has shaped his life, despite leaving Neighbours. He acknowledged that he was not cured. “But I’m here. And I’m fine, too.

His final appearance on the renowned Aussie soap was deeply emotional. Harold announced his intention to relocate to Port Douglas, Queensland, moving in a heartfelt farewell, which brought long-suffering fans to tears. In those final scenes, Smith said the scene became even more poignant because of the presence of his fellow cast members. He shared, “I love them all very much. They “resemble family,” they say.

In 1987, Smith began playing Harold, who became one of the show’s most beloved characters known for his warmth, resilience, and memorable appearances following dramatic disappearances.

Now, in real life, Smith is living a storyline even soap writers couldn’t dream up. In a recent interview with BBC Radio 5 Live, he spoke candidly about how far he’s come since doctors first gave him just months to live. “I’ve got cancer, yes, I’m going to die soon but I seem to be defying the odds, which is good,” he said.

Following three rounds of treatment, including immunotherapy and chemotherapy, Smith revealed to TV Week that his tumor had started to shrink back in January. His quiet determination is fueled by this advancement.

He said, “I’ve been reborn.” And I still have stories to tell.

Brooklyn Beckham snubbed David Beckham’s recent 50th birthday celebrations at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, where they discussed the former football player’s recent 50th birthday celebrations.

David Beckham had a “curveball thrown into his day” hours before he met King Charles at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, it is reported.

The former England international, 50, is said to have been “shocked and upset” to learn his son Brooklyn and daughter-in-law Nicola Peltz were just five minutes from the garden show at the time – and hadn’t informed the family. It was the second time Brooklyn, 26, and his 30-year-old wife had snubbed David after dodging his birthday celebrations in the capital earlier this month amid a very public family fallout.

The Beckham family finds it extremely upsetting. Brooklyn is always out of sight, if not out of mind when it’s in America. He then arrives in London and works right where he is. Particularly for David, it must have been challenging. According to an insider, “he was all set up to meet the King before that curveball started to appear in his day.”

Although David rubbed shoulders with King Charles and Queen Consort, Camilla, he missed the opportunity to catch up with his son, who had flown the 5,000 miles from his and Nicola’s home in the US for Nicola to do a modelling shoot in South Kensington, London. The location was half a mile – just five minutes – from the RHS Chelsea Flower Show.

The source told Mail Online : “Brooklyn didn’t even bother to let his parents know that he was going to be in London, it’s as shocking as it is upsetting for them… It came out of the blue when word got around that Nicola had put an Instagram post up. Then it started to get back through various friends that they were doing a shoot.”

Brooklyn and Nicola, who got married in 2022, reportedly spent the night in a hotel on Park Lane before fleeing back to California.

It is the latest blow to David in the bitter family dispute, which reportedly left wife Victoria, 51, having sleepless nights this month. The fashion designer has experienced her “worst nightmare” due to the feud, an insider had said. They added: “This is Victoria’s worst nightmare. The thought of any of her children falling out gives her sleepless nights.”

Due to the extreme queues, POP MART UK has had to temporarily stop sales, with some fans even claiming to have booked the day off work.

With their mischievous little potato faces, Labubu dolls have become the latest craze for toy-obsessed shoppers. Now POP MART UK has had to temporarily halt sales of one of their most popular collections due to safety concerns caused by intense queues.

In an Instagram post on May 19, POP MART UK wrote: “Due to the increasing demand for our beloved Labubus, we’ve seen a significant rise in customer turnout on restock days – with long queues forming outside our stores and Roboshops. To ensure the safety and comfort of everyone, we will temporarily pause all in-store and roboshop sales of THE MONSTERS plush toys until further notice.”

Although they stated that customers would continue to receive online drops as usual and that they should check the schedule for new announcements to be sure to check back soon. They continued, “We’re working hard in the background to enhance the online and in-store shopping experience. I appreciate your patience, understanding, and continued support.

The Chinese toy company POP MART has its first European flagship store opening in London in 2022. Since then, it’s grown popular for collectors of collectible “designer” toys, including Labubus. They are all included in a line of “blind boxes” of furry dolls.

The toys have become popularised by YouTubers, social media influencers and celebrities – with Rihanna, Dua Lipa and Olivia Attwood being just some of the famous faces to have joined in on the trend. The hashtag ‘Labubu’ has over 1.4 million posts on TikTok. Over 2024, The Monsters IP (which includes Labubu) generated 3 billion yuan (£311,187,000), as reported by Time Magazine.

Then in April, Labubu released their Big Into Energy series, which completely sold out worldwide within a week. They are still available to buy from POP MART. It became the biggest collectibles release ever on resale platform StockX, with an average resale price of $208 (£155). That’s a 24 per cent increase when compared with its original retail price of $168 (£125), as reported by Vogue Business .

Unsurprisingly, Brits have been quick to pick up what’s been dubbed as “Labubu fever”. Queues for the toys have gone viral. On May 16, Birmingham Live reported dozens of fans queuing for eight hours outside the Bullring Pop Mart store.

However, their popularity has now sunk in favor of them. Fans of Labubu dolls in the UK have quickly expressed their shock at the new announcement. “No stop it!!! I wanted to go this Friday even though I didn’t have a single Labubu; I even booked a day off work only to read this. One commenter wrote, “I’m so depressed right now.”

“I’m gutted!!! I’m going to London this weekend, so I had to order some labubu! Looks like I won’t be getting any (sad face),” another wrote. A third user asked, “How’s it gotten out of hand, makes no sense I just wanted a Labubu.”

Some even have been attempting to get one when they wake up at dawn. My sister said she would go tomorrow morning at 5:30, and get all three generations, but I’m so saddened, a user wrote. “Omg no.”

However, other TikTok players have blamed this kind of behavior on the pause in sales. One person claimed that “one of the issues is people lining up at 5am.” There are long lines before the stores even begin.

TV star Denise Welch has recalled the panic of learning maths at school and how its impact lasts until this day – as she backs a new drive to improve numeracy in the UK

Loose Women legend Denise Welch has spoken of her fear of maths at school – which has stayed with her until now.

The actress and TV star says: “I used to look at my school timetable – which I can see in my mind’s eye – and I would see ‘double maths’ and ‘double maths’. It used to make my palms sweat and I would be crying. Rather than thinking, I’ve got to get better at this, it instilled such a fear, which has lasted to this day. I am one of those people who struggles with maths. I have always struggled with maths, and I got left behind a long time ago.”

Denise was interviewed ahead of National Numeracy Day, on Wednesday, which aims to inspire everyone to improve their number confidence and skills. The initiative is run by the charity National Numeracy, the UK’s only charity dedicated to everyday maths.

She says she was “number-phobic” despite her dad having a degree in economics, adding he “could never understand why I found it so difficult. He would try to explain things to me, but my brain would just shut down. So, instead, he took control. Dad did my finances for as long as I can remember, balancing my accounts, paying bills, and ensuring everything was in order.”

Denise , 66, recalls a primary school teacher who, she claims, made matters worse by being strict and impatient. She recalls: “I would sit in class, heart racing, stomach in knots, trying desperately to keep up. I’m convinced he got some kind of kick out of it because he’d pick on me repeatedly. And anybody who has struggled with numbers will know – being put on the spot is definitely not the answer.

“No matter how hard I concentrated, numbers never made any sense. The more frustrated he became, the worse I felt. My anxiety grew so intense that I would shake uncontrollably before maths lessons and would vomit from sheer panic. That experience left deep scars. I never really learned how to deal with numbers properly, and as I grew older, I avoided them at all costs.

“Homework with my two sons was a particular struggle; they’d come to me with their maths questions, and I’d break out into a cold sweat, fumbling through the basics, hoping they wouldn’t catch on to my complete lack of confidence.”

She went on: “Money management has been the bane of my life. Anything to do with my tax, or with mortgages – I still do that la la la la la la la. I would love to have been shown some techniques to make life a little bit easier.”

Denise threw her weight behind the National Numeracy Challenge, which takes about 10 minutes to complete, and aims to incrementally improve people’s confidence with maths.

The need for action is also supported by consumer champion Martin Lewis, a National Numeracy Ambassador. He said: “It’s a funny thing about maths – no one ever goes around saying, ‘I’m terrible at reading, you know?!’ But over the years of talking about money on television – which often involves maths, because the two are really closely linked – the number of presenters who have said, ‘I’m terrible at numbers, I wouldn’t know,’ as if that’s perfectly acceptable, is astonishing.

“I’m not trying to shame anyone who isn’t good at maths. I’m just trying to change attitudes. I’m trying to say we should aspire to be good at maths – we shouldn’t boast about being bad at it. Of course, there are many people out there with dyscalculia or other issues that mean they’re always going to struggle with numbers. But for most people, you can improve your numeracy, and it’s crucial to do so.

“It’s one of the reasons I’ve long been proud to be an Ambassador with National Numeracy. For all of us, having a fundamental understanding of numbers and functional numeracy empowers everything we do. If you’re not good with numbers, it makes it easier for you to be ripped off. So if you have the opportunity to take the National Numeracy Challenge – to see where you’re strong with numbers and where you’re not – I’d urge you to do so.”
