I’m A Celeb’s Angry Ginge set to join Osbournes at poignant football tribute to Ozzy at Villa Park

The Osbournes are returning to Villa Park later this month and I’m A Celebrity King of the Jungle has been invited too.

Ozzy Osbourne’s family will make a poignant return to Villa Park five months after his final gig there. Ozzy, who grew up in Aston, held his final performance at the stadium in July, just weeks before his death, aged 76.

His funeral procession passed by the football venue later the same month as fans lined the streets of Birmingham to pay their respects to the star. Now, the family will be returning to the football ground so his grandson can be a mascot. Three-year-old Sidney to walk on to the pitch with his grandad’s favourite team Aston Villa, before the match against Manchester United on December 21.

Sidney’s mum Kelly, Ozzy’s daughter, revealed the news and also said she will be inviting her brother’s new jungle campmate , I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here winner Angry Ginge to the match. She said: “I’m going to message Angry Ginge because there’s a football match going on on the 21st with Villa and Man Utd – my son’s going to be the mascot. So I was going to see if he wanted to go.”

Ginger, real name Morgan Burtwistle, is a big Manchester United fan and wore a club shirt as he boarded his flight back to the UK this week.

Kelly’s comments come in the same week her mum Sharon gave her first interview since Ozzy’s death. She said Ozzy’s final words were “Kiss me. Hug me tight,” at around 4am on the morning of his death on July 22 as he had a restless night.

He then went down to the gym and was heard screaming in pain before dying from a heart attack. Sharon also credited her three children, Aimee, Kelly and Jack, with helping her through the terrible time following.

She told the Piers Morgan ’s Uncensored YouTube show: “I wouldn’t have [gotten] through [without them]. I would have just gone with Ozzy, definitely. I’ve done everything I wanted to do. You know they’ve been unbelievable, just magnificent with me, all three of them.”

Jack will be returning to LA for Christmas after his stint on I’m A Celeb, but Kelly intends to honour her father’s memory over the festive season – by ruining the big day in tribute to him. She is likely to spend time with mum Sharon over the festive period.

Kelly said: “My dad was never such a huge fan of Christmas. He always found a way to kind of ruin it. So this year I’m going to figure out a way to try and ruin it for everyone else!”

She added she tries to remember her father every day by making sure she includes more love in her life. She said: “It’s all you can do, is love him more every day.”

Kelly was speaking at the launch of This Morning chef Juliet Sear’s new bakeware range at London’s Fortnum & Mason, where she admitted she struggled to watch her brother Jack sharing his grief on screen in the jungle. The pair wept together when he left, as they had missed each other at such a sensitive time.

She said: “It was hard not being able to talk to him. There’s moments, with everything that’s been going on, where you just need your brother. I saw that he was going through those moments himself and I couldn’t get to him. So it was difficult and we did have a moment of like, ‘I really missed you.’”

Kelly got engaged to Sidney’s father, Slipknot star Sid Wilson, backstage at her dad’s final gig, but the pair are yet to confirm a wedding date. She said: “I don’t know what we’re doing. I haven’t thought about anything since the passing of my father.” She said she hoped her pal Juliet will be able to bake her wedding cake for the event.

ITV Lorraine star reveals 4st weight loss saying ‘none of my clothes fit any more’

One of Lorraine’s regular experts started taking Mounjaro last year and has since lost a huge four stone and gone down by three dress sizes

Regular Lorraine guest Claer Barret has revealed she’s lost four stone and gone down by three dress sizes after taking the Mounjaro jab. The financial expert said she took a “calculated risk” when decided to start the jabs, and also consulted Lorraine’s resident doctor Dr Hilary Jones as well as her own GP before she started on the medicine around a year ago.

Giving an update on the Lorraine show on Wednesday, December 10, during a segment with fashion expert Mark Hayes, Claer said, “None of my clothes fit me any more. In my head I am a size 20 whereas in actual fact I am a size 14. I could go into any high street store and I know you have got the style points, Mark, to give me the edge I need.”

Lorraine, 66, proceeded to praise Claer for being transparent about her experience and joked, “one of the big changes when that happens is that most of her old clothes don’t fit anymore, nice problem to have!”

She continued, “You don’t just take the jab and that’s it, you have to actually change your lifestyle, you have to exercise more and eat properly, and that’s what you did, and look at the results – it’s wonderful.”

Claer previously revealed she decided to take the jabs after learning she had a Body Mass Index of 37. The NHS puts 37 in the “obese range”, which can lead to complications such as type 2 diabetes, coronary heart disease, stroke and certain types of cancer such as bowel and breast cancer.

“Anything 30 or over you’re in the danger zone for diabetes. I wasn’t pre diabetic, but that was something I was very worried about,” Claer said earlier this year. “I had a rogue high blood pressure reading when I was under a lot of stress at work, and it just made me think. I write about longevity, about retirement, about healthy life expectancy.”

She continued, “I took a calculated risk, you might say, I knew there were side effects to these drugs. I had various chats with Dr Hilary, but I also made a beeline to my own GP.”

AS well as taking the injections, the financial whizz also totally overhauled her lifestyle as part of her transformation and said the biggest side effect she has experienced was “not feeling hungry and thinking about food all the time.”

Earlier this month the manufacturer of Mounjaro – which is a brand name for the drug Tirzepatide – launched a five-year trial in Manchester to study the health benefits of Tirzepatide..

The trial will study up to 3,000 people and was set up by by US pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly, the makers of Mounjaro, and the UK government to address public health challenges like obesity.

When the trial was announced last year, Martin Rutter, Professor of Cardiometabolic Medicine, University of Manchester and principal investigator for the Greater Manchester study, said: “This five-year real-world study aims to demonstrate the long-term efficacy and safety profile of tirzepatide in a primary care setting compared to usual care.

“It will specifically quantify the medicine’s long-term effects on obesity, diabetes incidence, and obesity-related complications, as well as its impacts on employment and health economic outcomes.”

Zoe’s explosive character became legendary for her compelling plots and romantic entanglements with the likes of Dennis Rickman (Nigel Harman) and Dirty Den (Leslie Grantham), and was even betrothed to Anthony Trueman (Nicholas Bailey) during her tenure.

In a shocking turn of events, Zoe made her return to Walford earlier this year, disclosing that she had delivered twins, though heartbreakingly, just one infant made it through.

She’s now hell-bent on tracking down her long-lost son, whilst it emerged she’d been having a fling with notorious charmer Max Branning (Jake Wood) four years following his departure.

In upcoming EastEnders scenes, Zoe, who’s also being pursued by an unknown stalker, is poised to take centre stage in the Christmas Day mayhem.

When the Slaters throw a community feast at The Vic, things quickly spiral out of control as a hidden truth triggers a fierce confrontation between the Slaters and a rival clan.

The boozer is subsequently cleared out, yet the evening’s far from finished, as a concerning predicament intensifies with the BBC soap promising “catastrophic consequences” for everyone caught up in it.

NHS glioblastoma symptoms after author Sophie Kinsella dies at 55

This common brain cancer is often diagnosed at around 55-years-old and there are a long list of symptoms to look out for

Best-selling author Sophie Kinsella tragically died at just 55 after she was diagnosed with a form of aggressive brain cancer that has a number of concerning symptoms to be aware of.

Kinsella was diagnosed with glioblastoma, a form of brain tumor more common in older adults, at the end of 2022. The NHS stated that this particular form of brain cancer “is the most common and most malignant primary brain tumour.”

It continued: “Glioblastoma multiforme usually spreads quickly to other parts of the brain. For this reason, these tumours are difficult to treat. It is not uncommon for them to recur after initial treatment.”

The Shopaholic book series creator, whose real name is Madeleine Sophie Wickham, announced she had been diagnosed with cancer in April 2024. She also announced then that she had been receiving chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

According to Brain Tumour Research, glioblastoma is the most commonly diagnosed high-grade brain tumour in adults, with a short average survival rate of between 12 and 18 months, with limited treatment available.

Symptoms often begin abruptly and seizures are also relatively common for this cancer. The NHS states that symptoms include:

  • headaches
  • seizures (fits)
  • persistently feeling sick (nausea), being sick (vomiting) and drowsiness
  • mental or behavioural changes, such as memory problems or changes in personality
  • progressive weakness or paralysis on one side of the body
  • vision or speech problems

Tumors in specific areas can cause more unusual symptoms. Frontal lobe tumors can cause changes in mood and personality and asymmetrical weakness and seizures causing jerking.

Temporal lobe tumors can cause déjà vu, odd tastes and smells as well as dissociation and panic. Seizures may see patients looking vacant, chewing, swallowing or making hand movements. Memory and speech can also be affected.

Parietal Lobe Tumours can cause loss of sensation and or power on one side. Seizures may see people struggle to speak or understand

Cerebellar Tumours cause problems with balance and co-ordination, swallowing, double vision and weakness in the limbs.

Surgical removal remains the first port of call for treatment. However, this tumor looks very similar to normal brain tissue which makes it very difficult to completely remove.

Radiotherapy rarely cures glioblastoma, but studies show that it doubles the median survival of patients, compared to supportive care alone.
