Pete Wickes couldn’t believe what he was hearing when podcast co-host and best mate Sam Thompson told him there’s a cafe you can go to where you can’t eat a morsel

Pete Wicks, who found fame on The Only Way Is Essex, has been left raging after podcast co-host Sam Thompson, of Made In Chelsea fame, told him there’s a cafe in London where you can’t actually eat anything. When Sam told him this on their Staying Relevant podcast, the 37-year-old was left dumbfounded, wondering what the point is.

“So what do you eat?” Pete asked Sam, and the 32-year-old responded: “Nothing”. Pete continued: “So if you go for lunch, you’re just as hungry when you leave?” Sam then explained to Pete that you wouldn’t be going to this place for lunch, because it’s the Jellycat cafe.

“But why else would you go to a cafe other than to f**king eat something?” Pete fumed, unable to grasp the concept of the Jellycat cafe. Jellycats are plush toys known for their adorable faces. The company was founded in London in 1999 and has surged in popularity, with many adults and children collecting them.

For those, like Pete, who are not in the know, the Jellycat cafe was a pop-up store in London, and when you purchased a product from there, staff members would pretend to ‘cook’ the toy food item in front of you. Currently, there’s a fish and chip shop in Selfridges, London, where staff will do the same thing.

In other countries, there’s a Jellycat Diner Experience at FAO Schwarz, New York, and the Jellycat Pâtisserie experience on the 5th floor of Galeries Lafayette Paris Haussmann within the FAO Schwarz store.

Sam explained that you’d “go and pick up your burger, but it’s your Jellycat burger,” but Pete still couldn’t grasp “which bit you eat”.

“You don’t eat anything, it’s a toy,” Sam continued, which led Pete to fume: “So what’s she cooking?”

Things started to sound a little weird when Sam said: “Nothing. She’s pretending to cook the toy,” but anyone who has seen the Jellycat experiences in action will know how wholesome it is.

Pete was baffled about what “the point” was in pretending to cook the Jellycat, wondering why they can’t just put it in a bag.

“You coulda just picked the f**ker up and whacked it in your bag,” he seethed, saying that the staff pretending to cook something is silly.

“It’s the only way you can get it,” Sam shared, and Pete couldn’t believe you were “forced” to watch it.

Sam then revealed that their producer, Pippa, has been, and also owns around 30 to 40 Jellycats, and that seemed to be the final straw for Pete.

Sam then shared he has two, and Pete raged: “You’re an adult. I’m not going to a cafe so I can go and watch someone pretend to cook a toy, so I can take it home and say ‘ooh I picked myself up a nice new toy burger today and someone cooked it for me and pretended to put blueberry sauce all over my f**king toy pancake’. What’s the point? What is the point?”

Actress Dakota Johnson has revealed her dream about The 1975’s Matty Healy, which saw the singer morphing into a vegetable to dodge the police, with Chris Martin’s reaction

Newly single Dakota Johnson has revealed her ex Chris Martin’s brilliant reaction to her wacky dream about singer Matty Healy. The Fifty Shades of Grey actress, 35, and the Coldplay frontman, 48, recently ended their romantic relationship after eight years together.

Chatting with comedian Amy Poehler, Dakota recalled having a bizarre dream about The 1975 hitmaker. “I actually had a dream the other night,” Dakota told host Amy during the latest episode of the Good Hang podcast. “Matty Healy from The 1975 was in my dream and he was murdering people, and he was Matty Healy as himself.”

Dakota, who recently enjoyed a dinner date with Matty’s ex Taylor Swift, then went on to note how the dream got even stranger, with her dream version of Matty morphing into a vegetable to dodge the police. “When the people were looking for him—they were cops maybe,” Dakota continued, “he would turn into a piece of asparagus.”

If that wasn’t weird enough, an Oscar-winning actress then entered the dream. “I saw these two poles and a bed and I was like, ‘Matty?'” Dakota said. “The sheets came down and it was him as an asparagus and Angelina Jolie as an asparagus. They were getting married, and they left in a helicopter together as asparagus.”

The next morning, Dakota shared her wild dream with her then-boyfriend Chris. The Fix You songwriter was fascinated by Dakota’s subconscious, telling her: “That’s a really good pitch for a movie.”

Dakota and Chris reportedly split over his reluctance to set a wedding date. . Insiders allege that the frustration stemming from this hesitancy contributed to the end of their eight-year relationship, with 35 year old Dakota particularly “sick” that no date had been decided.

The two became engaged years after their on-off romance took off in 2017, following the dad-of-two’s split from his ex-wife, Hollywood star Gwyneth Paltrow. A source told Page Six: “She was sick of him dragging his feet on setting a date for the wedding.”

Others in Dakota and Chris’ inner circle reckon disagreements on starting a family played a role too. Another insider claimed: “They broke up over Chris Martin not wanting to have more kids.”

While Dakota, unlike her former beau, has never tied the knot or had children, she has hinted at her desire for both. A confidant shared with The Sun, “They really tried to work through their issues but the age gap was often a problem. She’d [also] expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life.”

Following the news of the couple’s split, an insider disclosed: “They just haven’t been able to figure out to make it official. Dakota held a flame for them to be together because she loved him so much and loved his kids so much.

“Breakups aren’t instant and they continued to breakup and makeup and sometimes things would work when they were away from each other, while they were working because absence makes the heart grow fonder, but then they’d get back together and little things just kept adding up to where they weren’t right for each other anymore…

“Dakota is devastated that she isn’t going to be around his kids as much anymore, but wants them to know that she is always there for them.”

Kate Garraway has revealed the heartbreaking moment she felt it was unsafe for her and her family as they cared for Derek Draper following his health complications after contracting Covid

Kate Garraway has candidly opened up on the struggles she faced while caring for late husband Derek Draper, saying it got to the point she no longer felt safe. Derek, a political lobbyist, died aged 56 in 2022 following a cardiac arrest after years of health implications from long Covid.

Derek’s health rapidly deteriorated after he contracted coronavirus in March 2020. He died four years later in January 2024.

Throughout his struggles, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate was by his side and was his primary carer. However, she has revealed how she got so tired at one stage that she felt the situation was no longer safe for her or her kids.

Speaking to the Sun, Kate described a three-week gap in care for her husband while the system tried to work out which agency would be best suited to helping the family with the care he needed. She said during that time she “had no choice but to try to get through looking after Derek 24/7 completely alone”.

Kate confessed: “By the end I was so sleep-deprived I was scared it was no longer safe — for me, for the children, let alone for Derek. In desperation I called health services again and this time refused to get off the phone until some answer was given.

“In the end, the person on the other end of the phone, who was also clearly exhausted, told me, “There is nothing I can do but — and this isn’t official — you are not alone and what I always say to people is take him to A&E and leave him there, then they legally have to do something.”

Kate was stunned that this was what the stage it had gotten to, questioning how the best solution appeared to be to “abandon” someone who wasn’t safe to be left alone. She praised family members who helped with the awful situation, but realises others may not be so lucky.

Kate also she admitted she still has a “tsunami of sadness” as she regularly wakes in the middle of night panicking she hasn’t given her husband his medicine. She previously revealed the touching last moments she and her two kids shared with Derek.

According to Kate in a discussion last year, proud dad Derek told his children, Darcey and Billy: “You’re the best children anyone could ask for. Look after mum, be good for her.” This was sadly last time Derek saw his two children before going into a coma.

Kate openly praised her kids for how they handled their dad’s condition and passing. Speaking on Good Morning Britain in February 2024, Kate said: “It was one of those stop-the-clock moments, where you want the world to stop.

“It swamps you. We now have 24 hours, [which] turned out to be more of a month, of fighting on and fighting on, following the prognosis that he won’t make it through. For the children when they heard he won’t make it through, they’ve heard it so many times.

“They were so beautiful, the children, about that. They individually had time with him on his own and Darcey said, ‘If, dad, you can’t do this, it’s okay. Don’t worry about us’. And I had similar conversations, a chance to hold his hand and smell his skin and hold him all the way through, and some people don’t get that.

Kylie Jenner’s go-to brow gel costs less than a fiver and has been a staple in my makeup routine for a while now – but there’s one slight downside to the product

Kylie Jenner’s TikTok account has become a treasure trove for beauty-obsessed fans looking to upgrade their makeup and skincare routines with the latest celebrity-favourite products.

From promoting the latest from her own beauty brand Kylie Cosmetics, to sharing exactly how she gets her wavy hairstyle, with the help of her hairstylist, Kylie is sharing all of her beauty tips and tricks on the social media app.

But I found that her latest recommendation, the got2b Glued 4 Brows & Edges 2in1 Gel, is a product that’s long been a part of my makeup routine – and for good reason too.

Kylie showed off her most recent makeup routine in a ‘get ready with me’ upload, and prepped her brows with the gel, which you can get your hands on for just over a fiver in your local supermarket and your closest Boots or Superdrug store.

The gel is practically invisible, vegan friendly, free of silicones and alcohol and is dermatologically tested, so you can trust that your skin won’t react badly, despite this product offering a super strong hold for your brows and edges for up to 72 hours.

It’s made of the same ‘Glued’ formula that you’ll find in got2Be’s iconic hairspray, which is often used to keep slick back buns frizz free and even hold wigs in place all day long.

My review of got2b Glued 4 Brows & Edges 2in1 Gel

I’ve been using the got2b Glued 4 Brows & Edges 2in1 Gel for a long while now and I’m currently on my second purchase as it quickly became a staple in my everyday makeup routine. I usually apply the gel before my foundation and allow it to fully dry for brows that won’t budge all day long.

Not only does the gel last all day, but a little goes a long way, so you can be sure to have this as part of your beauty bag for a long while before you run out and have to repurchase.

I haven’t used the gel on my edges so I can’t speak for their hold there, but for my brows, which can be quite unruly at times, this is the best product to tame and keep them neat.

Pros and cons of got2b Glued 4 Brows & Edges 2in1 Gel

Pros

• Super strong hold
• Quick-drying
• Hold lasts well over 24hrs

Cons

• Slight flaking if there’s excess product left on the skin
• I’ve found that a white residue appears if mixed with foundation or SPF

Kate Garraway has revealed the moment Dr Hilary told Good Morning Britain staff to get her urgent medical care amid fears of a heart attack prior to the breakfast show

Kate Garraway has revealed the scary moment she feared she was having a heart attack as Good Morning Britain staff rushed her to hospital. The 58-year-old presenter has confessed Dr Hilary urged producers on the ITV show to get her immediate medical care as she suffered an episode in November 2022.

The incident occurred in 2022 when Kate was caring for her husband Derek Draper, who was suffering from COVID implications. She has candidly opened up on how much her own health suffered as she dealt with her husband’s health woes.

Describing the “searing chest pain” she felt on the morning when she woke, Kate explained she forced herself to make her way to the studios for the morning show. However, things quickly got worse.

Speaking to the Sun, Kate revealed: “I could barely move, but I forced myself into the car. On the way in, I threw up.

“By the time I arrived at the studio, something was clearly wrong. Dr Hilary told the producers to call an ambulance. Instead of going on air, I was in hospital, wired to machines, with doctors fearing a heart attack.”

Thankfully, Kate’s health issue wasn’t an attack, but was described as a “heart event”. She continued: “The stress of fighting for Derek to get the support he needed along with the physical demands of being a primary carer 24 hours a day was such a strain that my body was feeling the effect.”

She revealed she had also had other signs of her own issues, but had no time to rest. Conditions such her autoimmune thyroid condition has “worsened significantly” she confessed, revealed surgery had looked likely.

Kate has regularly shared the struggle she felt while trying to care for her husband Derek, who died in January 2024 following a cardiac arrest. And she admitted she still has a the “tsunami of sadness” as she often wakes in the middle of night panicking she hasn’t given her husband his medicine.

Kate, who had two children with Derek, held his hands until the very end, she said in a previous interview. She explained at the time that while he was sitting in the ambulance with an oxygen mask on before being rushed to hospital, he spoke to his family one last time. She revealed his one final selfless request.

According to Kate, proud dad Derek told Darcey and Billy: “You’re the best children anyone could ask for. Look after mum, be good for her.” This was the last time Derek saw his two children before going into a coma.

Kate praised her children for the way they dealt with their dad’s sad passing in a chat with Good Morning Britain in February 2024. Kate recalled: “It was one of those stop-the-clock moments, where you want the world to stop. It swamps you. We now have 24 hours, [which] turned out to be more of a month, of fighting on and fighting on, following the prognosis that he won’t make it through.

In the months after Prince Harry and Meghan quit their royal duties for a new life in California, the late Queen made a major decision over the Trooping the Colour guest list, which is still impacting the annual event

With Trooping the Colour right around the corner, all the senior working royals are expected to step out on Saturday to celebrate the King’s birthday, and revel in the magnificent procession to Buckingham Palace. And while most of the notable royal family members will make an appearance on the day, there will be a select few faces that will be missing.

This is largely due to a rule instituted by the late Queen Elizabeth, following Prince Harry and Meghan Markle ’s exodus from the Firm. Before the Sussexes took a step back from royal life to relocate to California in 2020, the couple attended two Trooping the Colour events: the first in 2018, shortly after their wedding at Windsor Castle, and again in 2019, just one month after the birth of their son Archie.

The annual event came to a standstill in 2020 and 2021 due to the Covid pandemic. The celebration still went ahead, but as a very scaled back version in Windsor as opposed to London.

In years past, the late Queen Elizabeth would often invite the royal family at large to join her on the Buckingham Palace balcony for the RAF flypast, but that all changed for the return of the grand Trooping the Colour event in 2022, which coincided with the Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

For the first time, the Queen decided to only invite working members of the royal family to the balcony, meaning both Harry and Meghan, along with Prince Andrew, were omitted from the royal line up.

At the time, Buckingham Palace said the monarch’s decision to only include royals carrying out official public duties was taken “after careful consideration”.

The symbolic gesture meant Harry and Meghan, who had left royal life behind, and Prince Andrew, were not able to attend the event in an official capacity. While Harry and Meghan were in attendance at the 2022 event, they kept a very low profile. They watched the parade from a window and were also not part of the carriage procession.

The royals who were lucky enough to receive an invitation from the Queen to join her on the balcony for Trooping was the then-Prince Charles and Camilla, William and Kate, Prince Edward and Sophie Wessex, Princess Anne, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, the Duke of Kent, Princess Alexandra, and Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence.

The monarch made an exception for Anne’s husband Sir Tim, who is not a working royal, her two youngest grandchildren Lady Louise and James, Viscount Severn, and her great-grandchildren George, Charlotte and Louis.

Deciding to stick to the precedent set by his late mother, King Charles also opted for a striped-back balcony appearance in 2023 and 2024. The balcony appearance in 2023 was one of the smallest groupings in recent royal history, with the King being joined by his wife Queen Camilla, the Wales family, Princess Anne, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Edward and Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, while the Duke of Kent and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester stood off to the side.

In 2024, there were only 15 royals on the balcony, as the King was joined by Queen Camilla, the Prince and Princess of Wales, their three children, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and their daughter Lady Louise, Princess Anne, her husband, Sir Timothy Laurence, Prince Richard, Duke of Gloucester, Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent.

While the guest list for the 2025 Trooping the Colour has yet to be confirmed, it is likely that another sparse royal balcony is expected.
