After canceling his famous party, Jonathan Ross was spotted wearing a spooky Halloween outfit outside of his north London home this week.

The 64-year-old TV host was spotted wearing a haunting costume as she rocked white horns, face paint, and a dark green cape on Friday night. Jonathan was seen wearing the spooky costume and handing sweets outside the front of his home, which was decorated with spider’s webs, skeleton bones and spooky statues.

The chat show host recently revealed that he wanted to stop organizing his iconic annual Halloween gatherings.

He made the confession after he appeared on Celebrity Traitors, where his time as a Traitor came to an end on Wednesday night. He was the first Traitor to be caught and subsequently banished from the roundtable, while fellow Traitors, Cat and Alan, remain in the game.

Reflecting on his stint on the show, Jonathan admitted the end of his time as a Traitor marked the end of an era for his famous Halloween parties. The star revealed none of his cast mates would be attending a bash this year – as he wasn’t putting on a party at all. “No, I’m afraid not,” Jonathan told Ed Gamble on a bonus podcast episode of The Traitors: Uncloaked when asked if he’s throwing a Halloween party this year. “I might do another one before I go, but they cost a fortune.”

The broadcaster’s Halloween parties have long been the talk of the showbiz world, taking place at his Hampstead home and attracting a host of celebrity guests. However, Jonathan cancelled the festivities during the pandemic and decided against throwing another party at home after lockdown restrictions lifted.

He explained that concerns about family dynamics were also a factor. His daughter, Betty, has fibromyalgia, and he thought it was unfair to host a lavish party at her home while she is ill.

One of our children has fibromyalgia, which is very crippling, and one of our kids is not well. We are taking care of her while she’s back home with us. One of my children is locked in a room upstairs, and I was like, “I can’t in good conscience have a big loud fun party downstairs.” He claimed that it would resemble something from a horror novel.

He held his annual celebrity-filled soiree at Camden Nightclub, KOKO in 2022, and the evening’s festivities were rescheduled for home in the years.

Jonathan has still made his London home a spooky spectacle for trick-or-treaters this year despite missing the big Halloween blowout, keeping the festive spirit alive for younger fans.

Jonathan was questioned about friendships that he and other people on the show made on the Traitors podcast. Joe Marler, a rugby star, mentioned past connections to his parties in his interview, “Joe Marler,” and he claimed that he had met him several times while performing at his parties on Halloween. *

Jonathan continued to recite other cast friendships, but Ed quickly brought up the larger picture. The main takeaway I took from that, Jonathan, was that you are no longer hosting Halloween parties.

Next week’s episode of The Celebrity Traitors will feature Faithfuls Joe Marler, Nick Mohammed, and David Olusoga, as well as Traitors Alan Carr and Cat Burns in a head-to-head fight to raise money for their chosen charities.

Chat show queen Lorraine Kelly has plenty to look forward to, from her ongoing chat show on ITV to a new book and even a travel series. But what she’s extremely excited about as we catch up with her exclusively for Notebook, is her only child, daughter Rosie’s summer wedding to fiancé Steve White.

The enthralling TV host admits that she is counting down the days until her daughter, age 31, knots the knot, adding that the day will be “our family, his family, and friends.” The wedding, the bubbly 65-year-old tells us is scheduled for July, in Perthshire.

And there’s one girlie element of the wedding prep that she can’t wait for, she confesses. “We’re going to look at wedding dresses, me and Rosie, her maid of honour Amber and Mark Hayes [the fashion stylist fromLorraine’s show]. It will be like an episode of Say Yes To The Dress!”

Lorraine, who has been. married to her cameraman husband Steve Smith for 33 years, also laughs that there’s also the risk that Rosie’s adorable daughter Billie, born last August, will totally steal the show – as she has a special role on her parent’s big day. “I did say to Rosie, ‘You do realise with all this planning about what you’re going to wear, in reality, all eyes will be on Billie Boo as the flower girl! She’ll steal the show.’”

The Scottish TV star is totally enamoured with little Billie, now 14 months, as she reveals during our interview – and admits that becoming a granny is one of the best thing that’s ever happened to her. Explaining that her new role has allowed her to create more time for the people she loves, she says, smiling: “Don’t go out with people you don’t like – spend more time babysitting!”

She’s open to the fact that she is cruel to her granddaughter. She has a new obsession, according to Minnie Mouse. So, of course, I’ve been searching for Minnie right away online. She’s probably now too sluggish and bored”!

She continues, “Billie is so gorgeous. She is wonderful, talking rubbish, and crawling almost walking. When she sees me, her lovely little face sparkles in the sunlight. She has such a positive attitude. She occasionally refers to me as Banana, and occasionally as Nana. I’ll respond to any question, I don’t care.

“With Rosie and working so hard, it was rush rush to get her to eat, read a story, sleep – now I can take my time and savour it all. And on the rare occasions Billie stays with me and Steve, it’s the best thing in the world.”

Rosie, a journalist and podcaster, revealed her boyfriend Steve had popped the question last June, just two months after announcing she was expecting her first child.

Sharing a carousel of images to her social media, she showed off a snap of her engagement ring, while cradling her bump, with the caption: “There are too many lovely things going on and I’m not quite sure what to do with myself. Everyone always told me you’ll know when it’s about to happen but I had absolutely no idea, but I have a lifetime to get you back @stevewhite94.”

EXCLUSIVE: One famous Strictly Come Dancing couple have been together for three years – but they’ve faced some serious challenges along the way, one of which left one feeling very low

They may be one of Strictly’s sweetest-ever success stories, but things haven’t always been smooth sailing for loved-up duo Molly Rainford and Tyler West.

The pair, who found romance after meeting on the 2022 series of Strictly Come Dancing, have revealed that even their fairytale love story was tested to its limits during their latest TV adventure — and one particularly grim moment left Molly fearing the worst.

Now happily engaged and preparing for yet another challenge together, the EastEnders actress and Kiss FM presenter are used to being in the spotlight side by side. But during filming for Celebrity Race Across The World, their famously chilled relationship was pushed to breaking point.

While the series saw them racing across breathtaking beaches and tropical rainforests, it wasn’t all sunshine and smooth roads — and for Molly, one mortifying moment almost turned their romantic getaway into a breakup.

“It was one of those times where you think, ‘Please, not now, not here,’” she laughs, recalling a tough stretch of their journey across Central America. “Everything had been going so well, but suddenly I hit rock bottom.”

Only later does she admit just how bad things got. “I had a particularly low moment but I won’t describe it – it’s gross,” she confesses, blushing. “Let’s say it was stomach related! I turned to Tyler and said, ‘You can’t leave me now, because if you did, I don’t think anybody will love me ever again!’”

Thankfully, Tyler didn’t go anywhere. The 29-year-old radio and TV presenter, who met Molly when they were both contestants on Strictly, proved the picture of patience and reassurance. “We’d already heard from friends who said, ‘I couldn’t do that kind of show with my partner,’” Tyler admits. “So yes, we were nervous we might argue. But in the end, it just brought us even closer together.”

And closer they certainly are — after three years together, the couple are not only living under one roof but are newly engaged, too.

Competing on the hit BBC series saw them swap glitzy red carpets for buses, hostels and long treks through jungles. “We never did a gap year,” Molly explains. “We’ve both worked since we were young, so this was like a fast-track version of that – a chance to see the world in a completely different way.”

Tyler agrees: “Normally, when you go on holiday, you stay in a resort and switch off. You’d never pick a tiny town in the middle of Mexico, but that’s what makes Race Across The World so special. It opens your eyes.”

Their fellow contestants included TV presenter Anita Rani with her dad Bal, siblings Roman and Harleymoon Kemp, and Hollyoaks star Dylan Llewellyn with his mum Jackie – but as the youngest team in the line-up, Molly and Tyler were determined to prove themselves. “I didn’t want us to be the young couple who ran out of money or lost our passports!”, Molly laughs.

Judging by their easy banter and shared smiles, it’s clear that whatever challenges they faced – dodgy tummies and all – the race only made them stronger. As Tyler puts it with a grin, “We started this journey together, and we finished it even more in love. Nothing was going to make me walk away – not even that!”

The upcoming series will be filmed in Central America, kicking off in Mexico and wrapping up in Columbia.

The BBC revealed: “This series takes the race through one of the most diverse and visually stunning routes yet, spanning the undiscovered Caribbean and Pacific coast of Central America.

“The journey begins on the idyllic Caribbean island of Isla Mujeres, just off the easternmost point of Mexico and challenges teams to race 5,900km to reach the finish line in the remote and breathtaking Península de La Guajira in Colombia – the gateway to South America.”

The statement went on: “Our familiar faces will say goodbye to lavish transport, smartphones and bank cards and instead must rely on limited budgets, local transport and their own resourcefulness, as well as the kindness of strangers.

“Relationships will be tested and transformed as they discover the world, and themselves, in ways they never expected.”

The celebrity edition follows the civilian series where mother-son duo Caroline and Tom were declared winners, trekking 14,000km across Asia and beating four other teams, bagging the £20,000 prize after navigating through China, Nepal and India.

The first season of Celebrity Race Across The World saw weather presenter Alex Beresford and his dad Noel emerge victorious after beating Melanie Blatt and her mum Helene, Harry Judd and his mum Emma, and Billy Monger and sister Bonny.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, a star in the new prison where he was relocated to, has accepted a job as the director of laundry in the new facility in New Jersey. He is in charge of washing and drying the clothes of inmates.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs appears to be settling into prison life with apparent ease as he has now landed himself a job working in the laundry room. The shamed rapper, 55, who was sentenced to more than four years for transportation to engage in prostitution, is now responsible for washing and drying of dirty clothes from his fellow inmates.

This is a far cry from the former multi-millionaire who commanded the respect from the world over due to his global music empire.

Sean is scheduled to spend the rest of his 50-month jail sentence at the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) in Fort Dix, New Jersey, earlier this week.

His new job, according to US media outlet TMZ, will surprise you in the least because he claimed he was so used to having employees do his daily basic tasks, such as charging his phone.

FCI Fort Dix is a low security facility and said to have better conditions than MDC Brooklyn, where Sean had been behind bars since his arrest on various sex crime charges in September last year.

Due to the facility’s access to drug rehab programs, his legal team had requested that he be relocated to the facility in New Jersey.

In a court filing from the time, his attorney Teny Geragos wrote in response that “we strongly advise the Bureau of Prisons that Mr. Combs be placed at FCI Fort Dix in order to address drug abuse issues and maximize family visitation and rehabilitative efforts.”

Early this month, the Bad Boy Records founder complained about the conditions at MDC.

The former star allegedly woke up with a knife to his throat when he had a terrifying incident at the prison, according to close friend Charlucci Finney.

He reportedly had a knife in his throat when he woke up in an interview with the Daily Mail. I’m not sure if he confronted him or the guards arrived, but it did happen.

He thinks the alleged attack was intended to intimidate him rather than physically harm him, though. Sean would have suffered if this guy had intended to harm him, he added. His throat would only be cut off with a weapon, which would then be used to kill him. It was probably meant to say, “Next time you ain’t going to be so lucky. ” Fear is everywhere. However, Sean won’t work with him. Sean is a Harlem native.

As a music producer, Charlucci worries about his close friend because he worries that his reputation will make him a target for his fellow prisoners. Charlucci acknowledged in the same interview that Sean has kept quiet about his daily struggles because he doesn’t worry about his family.

But due to his convictions, according to the pal, anything related to sex crimes is a worry. He claimed that prisoners take that sort of crime “personal” as they see it as it could have been a member of their family that was coerced into doing crimes.

It is referred to as “prison justice” in the prison system. We are not talking about a regular person, he said. We’re referring to Diddy.

Following a cruel homophobic attack on a night out, a Big Brother star was left shaken up and with injuries to his face.

Cameron Cole, who won the reality series in 2018, posted gruesome photos of his injuries on Instagram that revealed a black eye, cuts to his nose, and lip, among other things.

Cameron, 26, revealed in the caption that he was attacked by homophobia and slurs while out with his friends for his birthday, before being later “attacked” by an individual. He heartbreakingly acknowledged that he feels vulnerable and shaken because of the terrifying event.

The reality star wrote in the caption: “I had a beautiful birthday surrounded by love, but still came face-to-face with people who chose hate and violence!” They attacked me when I was alone and targeted me with homophobia and slurs.

I was shaken by it. I thanked my friend (CARZ) for taking care of me and making me feel vulnerable in a way that no one should ever feel, especially not because I am just me and that is okay.

“But this is what I came to the realization that this isn’t just about me or the LGBTQ+ community.” Every minority, every marginalized voice, everyone who has been told they don’t belong, politicians, the government, the people, they want to divide us but won’t win.

“It was my birthday, and I celebrated it, but the attack has shook me up, but it has given me a fire and a fight to stop these people.” You won’t succeed. Keep trying, but you’ll never succeed!

Support messages for Cameron from shocked followers flooded in. One person wrote, “Wait, why would ppl do this, you deserve so much better than this,” and another added, “Sic] I’m so sorry to read this. I’m thinking about you.

Akeem Griffiths, a former Big Brother housemate, continued, “Hope you are okay, mate.” This is terrible and completely incorrect. Always available for you when you require assistance from a third party.

In what was thought to be the show’s final season, Cameron was just 19 years old when he was declared the 2018 winner.

He cried as he was revealed that he had won the election and that he had won the audience’s vote, saying, “I’m completely and utterly shell shocked. I thought I’d be out the first week.

He continued, “I don’t know what to say, this is the miracle.” I was so grateful for what I expected and for an unbelievably positive way, which is the most life-changing experience in history. I’m so grateful for the situations in which I find myself.

After speaking with his pal Lewis F, who he later credited with supporting him, in a touching moment while living in the house, Cameron revealed his sexuality. He later said, “I’d never have done it without him, I’d never have felt so comfortable helping me the way he did, and I’d never be so grateful.”

You can’t go into your bedroom and cry about it because I planned not to say anything about it. What I forgot is that there are 24/7 cameras everywhere.
