Sally, a co-star of Ryan Clark’s BBC Radio 2 show, revealed what she thought of Kennedy Bates after the pair made an Instagram official this week.

Rylan Clark’s co-star issued a playful warning to him live on air this week, as they discussed his new relationship. On Saturday, the 36-year-old went Instagram official with his boyfriend Kennedy Bates, a fairground entrepreneur, who he has been dating for several months.

Ryan initially revealed the couple’s recent relationship in a recent episode of his podcast How To Be In Love, but he kept the identity of Kennedy a secret.

He did, however, confirm that they both desired children and had been dating for a while.

Since then, he has since become more open about their romance, most recently posting photos of the couple on a romantic weekend in Florence.

Discussing their Italian escape live on his BBC Radio 2 programme on Saturday, he asked Sally Boazman if it felt “weird” to mention his name.

She acknowledged, “It feels strange that you’re saying it.”

Because she knows him, Rylan rebuffed, adding, “Of course I do, I’ve known him for a while.” “

Then Sally revealed to the audience that she had unknowingly met Kennedy on their first date.

We just happened to run into each other on your first date, she said.

Rylan continued, “We did, which is quite surreal,” while clearly recalling the incident. You asked, “Who is this, exactly? ” Oh God, I was like. “

Sally continued, “Well, he looks alright, yeah, you’ve got my approval,” recalling her initial response.

He “is a lovely man,” she continued, and Rylan reaffirmed her assertion.

He responded, “He is lovely, and I’m a very lucky man.”

You are, just, you know, behave yourself, and enjoy it, Sally continued with a playful warning to Rylan. “

He responded, “I’m a huge behaver and I’m enjoying it a lot,” before moving on.

Since splitting from Dan Neal in 2021, Ryan has had his first official romance with Kennedy.

The ex-couple were married for six years after first crossing paths in 2013, when Dan was a contestant on the 14th series of Big Brother and Rylan was presenting its spin-off show, Bit On The Side.

Rylan admitted to being unfaithful in his 2022 memoir Ten: The Decade That Changed My Future, and that it was the catalyst for his marriage to end.

He explained that his adultery had occurred years earlier and that he had not anticipated that Dan’s relationship would end.

He expressed regret for his past deeds, saying, “I have no excuses for what I did in those days, but I had my reasons.” I believe that nothing I did was right or not quite right enough, which I felt a little like an imposter for many years.

People once told me this, which confirmed my own self-loathing.

Lisa Marie Presley’s short-lived marriage to Michael Jackson was revealed by Princess Presley, who expressed concern over whether the union was genuine.

Priscilla Presley has opened up on the intimate details of her later daughter Lisa Marie Presley’s brief marriage to Michael Jackson, accusing the singer of being manipulative and a user.

In her new memoir, Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, Priscilla, 80, confesses that she furious about Lisa Marie – who passed away in 2023 at the age of 54 – deciding to marry Michael. She says she was “appalled by the marriage,” and that she had “asked her if they had a physical relationship,” because after rumours that they didn’t, “Like so many people, I wasn’t sure.”

Priscilla says Lisa Marie confirmed to her that she was sexually active with Michael – who was ten years her junior. The Presley family matriarch then stressed that she had her reservations about Michael and questioned why it was he wanted to be in a relationship with her daughter.

Writing in an excerpt obtained by The Sun she continued, “I knew in my bones that Michael wasn’t marrying Lisa Marie; he was marrying the Presley dynasty.” Priscilla alleges in her book that she felt Michael was seeking “good publicity” after facing allegations of child molestation, which he vehemently denied.

During his child abuse scandal, Priscilla claimed that Lisa Marie firmly believed Michael was innocent and that Lisa Marie had begun to contact her.

She remarked, “Michael was a manipulative man, and I believe he had his sights on her long before she realized it. He projected a childlike innocence under a public mask.

She also described her own animosity to her ex-boyfriend as “bizarre.” Lisa Marie also claimed that she had pleaded with Lisa Marie to wait before Michael had conceived.

Two years after Lisa Marie’s divorce, Priscilla claimed she felt relieved and that Elvis “could practically hear sigh with relief.”

Lisa Marie shared that Michael had claimed that he was a virgin when they started dating in her own memoir, From Here to the Great Unknown, which was released posthumously in October of this year.

He informed me that he was still a virgin, she wrote. He had a relationship with Brooke Shields and had a relationship with Tatum O’Neal, which hadn’t been physical apart from a kiss, in my opinion. He claimed that Madonna had also attempted to hook up with him once, but nothing ever happened.

Lisa Marie continued, “I was afraid because I didn’t want to make the wrong choice.” He simply did it when he made the decision to kiss me first. He was leading from the beginning.

I was shocked when the physical stuff started happening. I had anticipated that we wouldn’t do anything until we were married, but he said, “I’m not waiting!” “

At the time of the award ceremony, Katie Alexander and Emma Holmes appeared happy, but the details reveal something entirely different.

Stood by his side on the red carpet of the Icon Awards, Eamonn Holmes’ girlfriend was all smiles for the waiting photographers while placing a loving hand on his back. Meanwhile the GB News presenter was beaming from ear to ear as he too appeared in good spirits at the glitzy award show, held in east London.

This is the first time Eamonn, 65, and Katie Alexander who is 22 years his junior, have been seen out and about together since it emerged that the “honeymoon” phase of their relationship had come to an end.

According to those close, the lavish holidays and priceless presents don’t really give their romance the much-needed boost they need, and Eamonn is now reported to be spending more time with his family in Belfast, away from Katie.

Since having a spinal injury in 2022, Eamonn has been using an electric wheelchair to travel.

The established news presenter was married to Ruth Langsford at the time of his injury but last year the pair ended 14 years of marriage.

And soon after, it became clear that he shared a close relationship with Katie, a counsellor.

Eamonn is grumpier than ever, according to reports just released by the Daily Mail. Let’s just say that the honeymoon period appears to be coming to an end, according to the source.

He added that “he’s grumpier than ever and his health issues [he has chronic back pain] really aren’t helping, but he’s spending more time with his family in Belfast, frequently without her. He doesn’t seem to be happier because of the lavish presents and the swanky holidays.

And his fellow employees at GB News have the same complaint, according to the publication. On a good day, one person claimed that “he’s a miserable goat.”

He moans and moans when he enters GB News in the morning. He seems to be having trouble with it. He is very low; only going to work, which he enjoys, cheers him up.

Even worse, according to reports, his son Jack, who he shares with Ruth, has joined his mother since their public split, as has the youngest son from his first marriage.

Ruth has recently hinted at a return to This Morning, the daytime show she regularly co-hosted with her estranged husband. But she has one stipulation and that is to work with her “TV son”, Ryland Clark.

She once said, “If they’d have me, they only have to ask, especially with Rylan!” in a recent interview. I cherish Rylan. Really, he’s like my son. Who knows since we have previously worked together and we adore one another?

After splitting from boyfriend Robbie Talbot earlier this year, Helen Flanagan admitted she is now on the lookout for love.

Helen Flanagan has had a whirlwind few years when it comes to her personal life, from her split with longtime partner Scott Sinclair to a new relationship with another footballer, Robbie Talbot, which ended in May after a year together.

However, the former Coronation Street actress tells the Mirror she’s ready to get back out there on the dating scene again – she just doesn’t have a clue where to start.

“I’m open to dating, but I’m incredibly busy with my kids. I’m 19 years old and can leave for Manchester with a boyfriend a few days later, but I’m 35 now. I’m not really going on a night out, am I? “Really? Helen grins as we catch up with the National Television Awards, which are a spectacle.

A busy mum-of-three, Helen shares her brood, Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and four-year- old Charlie with Bristol Rovers midfielder Scott. The pair were together for 13 years, meeting in 2009 at the height of Helen’s soap fame and getting engaged nine years later. However, they split in 2022, admitting later that their relationship had deteriorated to the point where they didn’t even “like” each other any more.

Helen previously acknowledged that her relationship with Scott had broken down. “I don’t see it as a break-up, I see it as a divorce.” “We spent 13 years together. But I threw myself into work and turned off my emotions in order to process it all. I simply entered “survival mode.”

There isn’t much time for dating because Helen co-parents her brood with Scott while also working. As you age, it becomes harder, and being a mother means being “just up my eyes with my kids and work, always” (p. 6)

The actress, who admitted to being understandably wary of bringing someone new into the fold in April, has made no secret of the effects the breakdown of her relationships have had on her three children. She described how her young children are dealing with their parents living apart and explained that “Matilda is very sensitive and a proper daddy’s girl” and that she “finds it difficult to see Scott as often as she’d like.”

When Helen appeared on E4’s Celebs Go Dating last year, she dated former football player and construction worker Robbie, who they initially met off camera before he was later introduced to. And in September 2024, Robbie even re-located Helen’s family home, making the pair completely smitten.

Unfortunately, the arrangement didn’t last long, and Robbie later left because Helen acknowledged that Matilda, her eldest child, was having a difficult time adapting to the new environment.

She said of the youngster, “I always think about how she feels when she misses her dad, and maybe having my boyfriend there doesn’t help her.” I always put my children first when you do what you have to do for them.

After Helen and Robbie split, there was a rumor that Helen wanted to concentrate on her children and work. The actress now claims she is prepared to throw her hat on for a second stint on the matchmaking show as she searches for love once more.

“I would definitely do Celebs Go Dating again!” Not, why? She giggles and says, “I think I was quite iconic on it. I absolutely loved doing it, it was one of my favorite shows, and I literally had the best summer ever. That show is my favorite.

The TV star even kept track of the latest series, she says, which recently wrapped and featured the likes of Kerry Katona, Jon Lee, Mark Labbett and Love Island’s Olivia Hawkins. “I thought Kerry was so endearing on it, and I loved Olivia on it, too. I thought Olivia was so gorgeous and a lot of women could relate to her. I really enjoyed this series.”

Helen says, “It’s nice to have a night off being in mum mode, but then I always miss the kids, so I can’t win,” during our conversation ahead of the National Television Awards night.

However, the actress acknowledges that catching up with her former Corrie pals is always enjoyable. I’m looking forward to seeing everyone there tonight because I adore it. I’ve attended the NTAs since I was 16 years old. she exclaims.

“The NTAs were always so exciting, especially when I was younger. The younger members of the cast, especially the younger ones, were never allowed to travel because it was always an adult experience. I recall being so fortunate. Such fond memories are always made of this night.

Amy took a step back from her work obligations and Strictly as she was receiving treatment. She announced in February of last year that tests showed she had “no evidence of disease” and that she would return to Strictly Come Dancing for its 20th anniversary series.

However, Amy, who was working with JLS’ JB Gill, left the show shortly after being diagnosed with a foot stress fracture. She continued to be “on a mission to raise awareness” about breast cancer as she anticipates returning to the Strictly ballroom dance floor.

In Spare, Prince Prince revealed that when the late monarch first saw her great-grandchildren Archie and Lilibet, she was “delighted” with one gesture from the audience.

The late Queen was not only a proud grandmother – but she also lived to welcome 12 great-grandchildren into the world.

And her grandson Prince Harry once reflected on his children’s last visit to see her before her death in 2022. Revealing all in his 2023 memoir Spare, the Duke of Sussex recalled the moment that the late monarch met Princess Lilibet, who was just shy of her first birthday at the time, alongside her then three-year-old brother Prince Archie.

He recalled how, after the Queen passed away several months after their visit, he and his wife were separated by their children for several weeks, prolonging Harry’s stay in Harry’s native country.

Harry described the late monarch’s funeral in his diary as “The following morning Meg and I left for America.” We struggled to stop hugging the kids and letting them leave our sight for days and days, but I also struggled to stop picturing them with Granny, the final visit.

Lilibet, the monarch’s baby sister, was cuddling the monarch’s shins while Archie made deep, chivalrous bows. He claimed that his grandmother referred to them as the “sweetest children” while “singing bemused” when he recalled her grandmother’s response.

She “expected them to be a little more American,” she said, “I believe she meant it.” She thought he was more rambunctious, which he added. I couldn’t stop thinking about it while I was thrilled to be home again, dropping off once more, and reading Giraffes Can’t Dance once more.

The late Queen’s great-granddaughter Lilibet, who was named after her, was first and only to be introduced to her during the Sussexes’ trip to the UK for the Platinum Jubilee.

A royal expert at the time expressed how eager Prince Harry was to photograph his late grandmother with his young daughter, but rumors claimed that Queen Elizabeth had turned down the photo because of her bloodshot eyes.

Writing in the Telegraph , royal expert Camilla Tominey claims Harry was “persistent” in wanting a photo to be taken.

She says: “She refused their request to have professional photos taken with Archie, three, and her namesake Lilibet, one, when the couple made another beeline for Windsor Castle and flew straight there after landing at Farnborough Airport.

She defiantly denied the Sussexes the photo opportunity they craved by claiming she had a bloodshot eye. According to those present at the meeting, Harry was “persistent,” promising to have a formal photo of the two Lilibets together at some point in the future. Of course, that was never the case. Three months later, she passed away.
