The actor and father of two experienced an unsettling health dilemma mid-flight to America, which resulted in an emergency operation on the plane

Stephen Graham has opened up about the “scary” emergency operation he underwent while on a plane.

Appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers, the Adolescence actor spoke of a medical emergency that took place the last time he touched down in the States. After the host asked about his previous traumatic flight, Stephen responded by saying it was “a hell of an experience”.

He elaborated: “Look, I’m of a certain age, you know what I mean? You’re a gentleman, like myself. I don’t know, once you get over like 45, you tend to go to the toilet quite a lot of times”. His storytelling made the crowd laugh and had viewers wondering where this story was going exactly.

Graham went on to explain how many people opt to have a catheter fitted, which is something he himself had opted for. Ultimately, it was supposed to aid him in his bathroom habits, and he explained that after “three to four months”, you should be experiencing “fewer trips to the toilet”.

Although the Netflix star found himself in a bit of an unusual situation on a flight 10, 000 feet in the air when everything had been fine, right up until that point. He tells the late-night host about drinking water on the flight as usual, going to the toilet and suddenly not being able to pee.

“I’m like, Oh, this doesn’t feel right”, he told Myers. “I knew I had to, and then silly Stephen thought, ‘ Oh, well, if I go back to my seat and I just keep drinking water, at some point it will happen. ‘” After going back to his seat and some time passing, he went back to the toilet and was shocked by what happened next.

Graham said: “long story short, all of a sudden I went, but it was just pure blood”, adding that it was “very scary”. He further explained that he couldn’t stop the sheer amount of blood and began to have a “slight panic attack”.

He admitted that the entire situation had made him quite emotional, but luck was on his side, as he remembers taking a selfie with a fan before the flight, who just happened to be a doctor.

“He had another friend with him, who was a surgeon”, the actor explained. “So I’m there, and I explain. He’s like, ‘ Ok, ‘ and the surgeon, Dr Haji, says, ‘ We can work this out. ‘” The entire area he was in was sterilised, and a catheter was pulled out of an emergency box.

To put it bluntly, Graham said: “I drop my kecks, I get on the couch, and he performs a catheter operation there and then”. And, once it was over and done with, the adolescence star took a selfie with the doctors and crew on board to remember the moment.

Prince William and his aunt Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh let loose as they raised a toast by sampling local gin and cider at the Royal Cornwall Show today

Prince William enjoyed a booze and pasty fuelled visit to the Royal Cornwall Show alongside the Duchess of Edinburgh. The Prince of Wales, who is also Duke of Cornwall, joked that “everyone remembers their first rattler” when offered a cider.

But he jokingly turned his nose up at the zero per cent alcohol option he was initially offered, and asked for the proper stuff instead. Earlier at a gin stand he joked he could “see what today’s going to be like” and teased Sophie. They both arrived and, after being greeted, were taken into a food and drink tent to hear about local produce.

They went first to a chutney stand and then to the gin stall as William said: “We’ve come from the chutneys straight into booze”. They were shown a number of gins before each then being given one to try. William joked: I can see what today’s going to be like. “

After a bit more talking, he caught the Duchess going for another sip and he joked to her:” You’re not allowed to finish it. You’ve got to watch her. “Sophie responded:” He’s learnt from the best. “

William then joked back:” I’ve been caught out with whisky a few too many times. I think I can do that and then oh no I couldn’t. “He and Sophie were also given a pasty by Ferguson Miller, 45, Amelia Jones, 25, and Alan Anderson, 69, of Anns Pasties.

William said:” Ah the pasties arrived! They’re hot as well. There’s been a few people I passed on the way here with their pasties ready to go. Too good. I’m going to save this for my lunch. Trying to talk and eat is a nightmare. “They then moved to cider stand Healeys Cyder Farm, after stopping off to pet a dog.

William said:” Look at the Rattler selection, ah definitely I’m happy about that. “Head of hospitality Laura Clerehugh, 36, said” I was going to say, you’ve had a rattler. “William responded:” Everyone remembers where they were when they had their first Rattler I can tell you that. You remember the first, you don’t remember the last. “

He then asked about the” zero “on the bottle, and when told that it meant zero alcohol he put the cup down and said:” Oh no, no, no. I need original. Someone bring out the big guns. “He also asked if Scrumpy was their, and when they said it was he said:” Love Scrumpy. That was a big fan a long time ago. Everyone remembers Scrumpy. “

Laura said afterwards:” It’s great isn’t it. Having a royal visit, the excitement, bringing people into the county, celebrating the county, showing off all the amazing food and drink we make. “

The Prince and Duchess arrived to loud cheers and were welcomed by Cornwall Cllr John Thomas, Devon and Cornwall Police Chief Constable James Vaughan, North Cornwall MP Ben Maguire, Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association (RCAA) chair Sir Ferrers Vyvyan BT., and RCAA CEO Mark Stoddart.

The Prince joked to Sir Ferrers:” You’re dressed for all eventualities. Better be safe than sorry. “The show enjoyed sunshine today, after downpours yesterday. They went straight into the food and farming tent together and then went off to different engagements.

The Duchess of Edinburgh went to see the Girl Guides, which she is patron of and asked about their work helping at the show. She joked about them using a paper system at the show, saying it was best and adding:” You’d end up having to revert back to it anyway, when the wifi goes down. “

She asked about their volunteers and said it was” fantastic”. She was told about the different jobs they help with, including wristbands. She then spoke to a number of the young girls and joked they must all have” sore feet “by the end of the day of the show. One girl told her she had done 7, 937 steps yesterday.

Sophie also said to them:” You’re actually still at school at the moment are you? Cornwall Show is a really good thing for the county so the school gives you the day off yeah? “One girl said she had an INSET day, to which Sophie responded:” Oh that’s lucky. “

She also spoke with representatives at LEAF, which she is also a patron of, before moving to see cows, pigs and sheep. She handed a trophy to the Beef Team of Five Supreme for their winning cows. She tickled one pigs foot and said” wakey wakey “when she peered over into one stye that had a sleeping pig.

And she joked to a dog in the next one:” You’re not a pig. I don’t care what they say, you’re not a pig. “When she watched a pig competition, she joked” needs musts “when one started urinating.

She said to one girl who helped groom a prize-winning sheep: “They are beautiful. Very lovely. You have done a great job. I hope you are pleased with yourself. They are looking really spectacular.” Prince William and the Duchess of Edinburgh then signed the visitor’s book. They then shook lots of hands before leaving.

The pair enjoyed another day out together in June 2023 at The Royal Foundation’s screening of Rhino Man hosted by United for Wildlife. At the time, Kensington Palace said Sophie was” delighted to join the Prince of Wales at the event this evening to show her support for United for Wildlife, “which he created in 2013.

Cameras also caught a sweet moment between the pair last year at Trooping the Colour in June 2024, when Sophie put her hand on William’s back as the royal family left the balcony of Buckingham Palace.

David Beckham and his wife Victoria are reportedly set to be given knighthoods in King Charles ‘ Birthday Honours List next week, with Sir Rod Stewart’s brutal joke seemingly coming true

Sir Rod Stewart’s light-hearted prediction about David Beckham’s getting a knighthood – made right in front of King Charles – looks to be coming true. Reports have emerged that Beckham is set to receive a knighthood in the King’s upcoming Birthday Honours.

The former England footballer had previously been considered for the merit several times, but was never included on the final list. In 2017, Beckham’s apparent disappointment at being overlooked became public when a trove of contentious emails – allegedly from him – were leaked.

Bearing that history in mind, Stewart, who was knighted in 2016 for his contributions to music and philanthropy, made a playful jab at Beckham during an event they attended alongside the British monarch.

During the award presentation at a ceremony for ‘ The King’s Foundation’, Stewart quipped in front of the King: “I am also wonderfully honoured to be a knight, and David, yours is coming soon”.

Beckham, amused, was seen smiling and shaking his head, taking the joke in good spirits – even in the King’s presence. Now, new reports indicate that Stewart’s prediction was accurate.

According to The Sun, Beckham will officially become a ‘Sir’ next week, while Victoria Beckham is expected to be styled as “Lady Beckham”. The 50-year-old was named an ambassador to the King’s Foundation last year, further solidifying his relationship with the royal family.

Recent public moments suggest a friendly rapport between Beckham and the King. At the Chelsea Flower Show last month, the King asked Beckham: “You got it, didn’t you?” referring to a birthday gift. Beckham responded: “It was incredible, thank you. It was very kind.”

Beyond his footballing achievements in England – 115 caps for the Three Lions, plus various trophy-laden stints at Manchester United, Real Madrid, AC Milan and Paris Saint-Germain – Beckham has made a mark as a football executive, co-founding Inter Miami in MLS, home to Lionel Messi.

He has also championed numerous charitable causes, particularly through UNICEF, and was awarded an OBE in 2003. However, it has taken over two decades for that to be elevated to knighthood.

His prospects took a hit in 2017 following the publication of controversial emails allegedly written by him. One message reportedly said he “didn’t care about being knighted”, and another read: “It’s a disgrace to be honest and if I was American I would of]sic] got something like this 10 years ago”.

Beckham later claimed some of the messages had been tampered with. A friend told the Mirror at the time: “To be honest, he does feel that he has given so much to his country… you don’t really mean it.

” While he was frustrated in those emails, he was over it the moment he sent them. Getting the knighthood is not what his work is about. He doesn’t care if he gets a knighthood or not. “

Typically, honours recipients are notified weeks in advance, so Beckham and his wife may already know of the honour.

James Argent’s ex Nicoline Artursson has broken her silence after her former boyfriend admitted to domestic violence. The former Only Way Is Essex star admitted his crime at a court in Spain earlier this month where he received a six-month suspended prison sentence and a two-year restraining order.

Argent pushed his now ex-girlfriend down a flight of stairs, causing the injuries, earlier reports revealed. Following the shocking incident, Argent made a return to the stage by the end of the week to perform – as he earns a living from singing.

Nicoline is a model and former Miss Sweden. Her and Arg met outside a supermarket in Marbella and quickly fell in love. James recalled, in an interview with OK! magazine, that he thought Nicoline was beautiful the moment he saw her. “She was just in her gym clothes, wearing no make-up”, he had said at the time.

“She’d actually just fed a stray cat. We both smiled and kind of giggled at each other. And Nicoline carried on walking. Then I thought, ‘ What have I got to lose? ‘ So I turned around and said, ‘ Hey. ‘” The pair went on to date and had spoken of wanting a family together one day, with Nicoline saying that’s what she loves the most about him – how family oriented he was.

Nicoline has not spoken out about the incident between her and Argent until now. She took to social media to share her thoughts on what had happened in a lengthy and emotional post, which was titled ‘ All that glitters, where is the gold? ‘

Writing in the lengthy post on social media, she shared: “It’s now been a month. I still can’t believe it. My fractures on my body have finally healed but I’m wounded inside. I’ve been quiet long enough. Silence protects no one – and it almost destroyed me.

” What started as a love story sadly turned into something else. “

Nicoline continued:” I loved deeply, believed in our future and stood by someone I thought would protect me and instead I was left alone and harmed in ways I never imagined. I was not only failed by him but deeply affected by the presence of unresolved ties to his past. “

She later added in the lengthy statement:” After being together for one year my boyfriend finally promised me that he would have boundaries. He would put a stop to all that had been going on for months. But he didn’t. “

Nicoline then went on to thank her neighbours for their help after the incident last month. She said:” Thanks to incredible neighbours who heard and saw what happened and acted, I got help. They called police, brought me to safety and ensured the incident was taken seriously. “

She concluded her post with:” Life is to be lived together and not to please people who want to take advantage of you. At the end of the day, fame can only do so much – it’s all about being strong and growing together. Life is simply not a reality TV show, life is real. I have tried to understand why. I have cried so many tears thinking about the way he chose to hurt me. He said he loved me and I believed him and here we are. “

She added:” There is now a legal record of what happened. Violence has no excuse – no matter how much love preceded it. To those who questioned me for staying as long as I did: I stayed because I believed in love. I believed he and we could grow, could heal, could choose peace. But love doesn’t survive in chaos. And it cannot survive where violence lives.

“To every woman reading this: if you’ve ever questioned your worth, your safety or your sanity in a relationship – this is your sign. You deserved to be loved with care and integrity. And you are not alone. To the men: real strength is protection. Real love is safe. Be the kind of man who lifts women up – not one who breaks them down, neither by violence or silence.

” To the future: never say never. I will get the little family I’ve always dreamed of and have my dream wedding to symbolise and celebrate true love in front of my dear family and friends. “

She wrote:” I’m healing now. Slowly, bravely and unapologetically. I will rise and I will use my voice – not for vengeance but for truth. For every woman who’s been silenced by someone who said ‘ I love you ‘ and then proved otherwise. This is not just my story. It’s a reminder: abuse – whether emotional, psychological or physical – has no place in love. “

With this 1-minute hair mask, Shopping Writer Meghan might have just the thing you need if you’re looking for a quick, affordable fix for dull, dry, or damaged hair.

This year, I’ve been looking for the best hair care products to restore dry and brittle hair. As someone with bleached hair, it can be challenging to keep my hair healthy and nourished, especially after a trip to the hairdresser when it’s most fragile. After trying various brands and products, I always end up returning to OGX. My hair has been transformed by their one-minute hair mask.

I’ve used OGX shampoo and conditioner for years, but they recently introduced the Bond Repair 1-Minute Treatment Mask, which can be used to repair dry, discolored hair in as little as 60 seconds. That’s a bold claim to be made, so I thought I’d put it to the test. Needless to say, I was surprised by the outcomes.

Currently retailing for an affordable £11.99 on Amazon, Boots, and Superdrug, this OGX Repair and Protect Bond Repair Mask promises to deliver rapid repair to damaged hair, providing shiny and smooth results that last. Boasting an innovative Bond Protein Complex, this repair mask is formulated with dual-action repair technology that rebuilds bonds in the inner hair cortex and binds to damaged sites on the hair cuticle to help keep hair strong, smooth, and resilient.

Without sulfated surfactants, the one-minute damage repair hair treatment mask is designed to prevent hair from getting more damaged or exposed to powerful chemicals. For stronger and healthier locks, the mask effectively nourishes the hair while minimizing the visible damage.

After using my favorite OGX products, I frequently reach for the OGX Coconut Milk Shampoo and Conditioner (4 each), and this mask, as instructed, was used. The hair mask was then evenly distributed throughout my damp hair from mid to end, and I then generously applied it to my hand. Given that I have short and thin hair, I used a similar amount and almost covered it all, though the amount you will need will depend on how thick or thin your hair is.

Then, you’re supposed to wash the mask off and enjoy the results for a minute. I put on the mask before going to bed the first time, as I’ve found that they work best when they’re left on for more than one time. My hair felt even more youthful when I woke up and washed out the mask, which was unbelievably soft and silky-touch.

Dealing with dry hair can seem like an uphill battle, especially with the hot weather that has lasted through the spring and into the summer, but this OGX hair mask has completely transformed my dry and bleach-damaged hair.

After making this incredible first impression, I decided to experiment with the results by using the mask for a minute as directed. The results were comparable to sticking the mask on for eight hours with one-minute use. My hair appeared healthier, shinier, and lustrous to the touch.

The low amount of money I needed to get these results is just as impressive as the brief treatment time. This hair mask, which costs just £12, has the same long-term results you’d expect from a salon treatment while remaining affordable for dozens of treatments.

This mask is loved by more than one person, as Amazon customers have given it numerous 5-star reviews. One customer exclaims, “The Treatment Mask has a really lovely scent and isn’t too thick.” Without making my hair greesy, it made my hair soft and glossy. Highly recommended.

Another user commented, “Used this as a quick fix before a night out—worked a treat! My split ends were much smoother without feeling greasy, and I now have a much cleaner look. Even with my thick hair, a few pumps was sufficient. Small bottle, but it’s important. Great for quick touch-ups at the last minute, but I wouldn’t use it daily.

A third chimes in with “I have used a lot of the OGX shampoo and conditioner range, especially the coconut one.” My hair needs all the conditioning it can get because it is completely bleached in the beginning of its life. Therefore, I was eager to try out OGX Bond Repair. The treatment mask is applied the same way to any other hair mask. Apply a sizable portion of the hair mask evenly into damp hair from middle to end after shampooing and conditioning with your favorite OGX products. Leave in place for at least one minute and rinse.

The mask is white, creamy, and has a nice, subtle scent, they continue to add. I usually leave the mask on for the entire 30-minute soak in the bath after washing and conditioning it. Without leaving any greasy residue or weighing my hair down, the mask makes my hair feel really soft and silky. I’m actually quite impressed with how thoroughly my bleached, damaged hair is deeply treated. Results will vary from person to person based on hair type and condition, as with all hair care products. I can only say that so far my personal opinion of using this product has been very positive.

King Charles demonstrated his shooting skills by visiting the Royal Artillery’s home in Wiltshire, which attracted the admiration of admirable officers.

King Charles has earned praise from impressed military officers as he showcased his ‘faultless’ firing technique during a royal engagement. Charles paid a visit to the home of the Royal Artillery at Larkhill, Wiltshire, today for the first time since assuming the title of Captain General.

The King, who became ceremonial head of the regiment following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, was met with a 21-gun salute when he arrived and was greeted by Master Gunner, St James’s Park, Lieutenant-General Sir Andrew Gregory. The purpose of the King’s visit was to learn about the soldiers and their personal stories, as well as their gruelling training and the heritage of the Royal Regiment of Artillery.

Charles, who was dressed as the number four tropical dress uniform when Charles performed the national anthem, met with veterans and senior members of the armed forces.

The King had the opportunity to view historical artefacts, including the volunteer artillery officer’s full-dress tunic uniform from his great-grandfather George V, and he thanked them for it, saying, “It’s lasted very well.”

During a tour of the grounds, King Charles was shown a number of high-tech equipment used by the soldiers, as he picked up one of the fixed-winged drones to gauge its weight as their use was being explained to him.

Staff sergeant Bethan Preston-Newman of the 104th Regiment, who is based in Newport, Wales, said: “It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet the King and really nice to explain what the reserves do.

It was a great honor to be here and represent the regiment, according to Newport-based Lance Bombardier Rebecca Haynes.

Worcester-based Lance Bombardier Alexandra Robinson stated: “It’s unquestionably an honor to be here. He is definitely interested in us as people. After receiving a thank you, Charles was offered to fire a single shot from the L118 light gun.

The King then took the lead and called “ready” before firing, appearing to wince as he pulled the firing lever.

Sergeant Neil Mitchell of the 14th Regiment, 34 Battery, praised the King’s firing technique by saying, “The second time, he didn’t give it a good enough pull, but the third time was faultless.” He continued in a joke, “I was going to ask if he could start on Monday.”

After chatting with the families who had gathered to meet him on the grounds, Charles was given a 105mm cartridge to celebrate his successful shot.
