Stacey Solomon posted a furious statement on Instagram after being snubbed at the BAFTAs earlier this year, but now she’s up for Best Presenter at tonight’s National Television Awards

Stacey Solomon has issued a statement ahead of tonight’s NTAs following her epic rant after her BAFTAs snub. The 35-year-old, who is up for Best Presenter at the star-studded ceremony this evening in London, was fuming in May when she lost out on two gongs for her BBC show, Sort Your Life Out.

The X Factor star admitted she didn’t take the loss well four months ago, however she seems in a brighter mood ahead of tonight’s NTAs as she shared a measured message on social media.

Posting a snap of an elegant black dress hanging up in the bathroom of Pickle Cottage as well as two adorable girls’ floral dresses alongside suit jackets and trousers, Stacey told fans she was grateful to be nominated.

Revealing she was going to the star-studded bash in the capital with all her family, she wrote: “It’s NTA day. Just got home from work, now it’s time to get ready. Just wanted to say, no matter what, I’m so grateful to be nominated for an NTA.

“The fact that we are going tonight with our whole family is so special, I can’t even put it into words. It’s voted for by YOU so thank you from the bottom of our hearts for giving us this moment. We will never forget it and NEVER take it for granted. To the moon and back everyone x.”

Her poignant post is a far cry from her response to not winning a BAFTA when she took to social media with an uncharacteristic rant.

Stacey admitted she was ‘devastated’ after losing out on a gong after being nominated for Entertainment Performance for her show, Sort Your Life Out, which was awarded to Joe Lycett. The BBC One show was also nominated for Factual Entertainment, but was pipped to the post by Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour.

Tending to her garden at Pickle Cottage, Stacey filmed herself the morning after the awards, saying: “Good morning from the veg patch, about to do the morning water. We didn’t win a BAFTA and I know I’m supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but I’ll be honest I’m devastated.

“I’m not handling it very well, I’m not taking it very gracefully. I’m devastated for our whole team like I’m so gutted for our team. Everyone got dressed up and were really hopeful because I think because they work so hard.

“It’s not an easy show to make, Sort Your Life Out, and the team work so hard to make it happen and they so deserve a BAFTA. The Sort Your Life Out team deserve a BAFTA and I’m devastated.”

Insisting that the winners deserved their BAFTAs, she concluded: “I’m not saying that everyone else didn’t deserve their BAFTAs, they absolutely did. People think making TV is really easy and it’s not so everyone deserves recognition but I’m just gutted for the whole Sort Your Life Out family because I do feel like they deserve a BAFTA, I’m going to say. I’m gutted.”

The former Oasis rocker was married to the actress for three years and the couple shared son Lennon before their divorce

Patsy Kensit, the 57 year old actress, has confessed she’s no stranger to heartbreak and is now aiding Brits in erasing their romantic pasts. She has partnered with Samsung to launch a cheeky new ‘Ex Eraser’ service, urging Brits to finally banish the ghosts of their exes and move forward with confidence.

Patsy is the ideal agony aunt for the role, having famously married Oasis rocker Liam Gallagher in 1997. The pair share son Lennon, but their whirlwind marriage collapsed just three years later. Their tumultuous love affair was the talk of the 90s, filled with glamour, drama, and rock ‘n’ roll chaos.

Patsy has since admitted that the heartbreak left its mark, but she’s determined to turn that experience into something positive for others.

Speaking about the campaign, Patsy said: “I’ve been through my fair share of heartbreaks, so I know how crucial it is to move forward without the weight of the past holding you back. Sometimes, the bravest act is simply hitting erase and choosing yourself.”

New research supports her, with 48 per cent of Brits confessing they have deleted photos of exes or edited their social feeds to erase bad memories.

In fact, an astonishing 1.6 billion snaps of former flames are expected to disappear from phones and galleries in 2025 alone.

The Samsung study also unveiled the peculiar habits we all resort to post-breakup – from ripping up old photos to chucking out clothes or even attempting to edit out an unwanted ex.

For Patsy, leading the ‘Ex Eraser’ campaign is a means to demonstrate that breakups don’t have to leave you feeling haunted.

Whether it’s binning an old hoodie or using Galaxy AI’s Generative Edit to magically erase an ex from a photo, she maintains that the crucial thing is taking control of your memories.

The research also found 47 per cent struggle to come to terms with regretful decisions they have made in the past. Of these, 48 per cent dwell on ‘what if’ scenarios, while 37 per cent find it hard to forget things they can’t change.

Annika Bizon, VP of mobile experience at Samsung, said: “Our research reveals that 48 per cent of Brits have digitally removed traces of past relationships, with some even hesitant to scroll through old memories.

“With the Generative Edit feature […] you can effortlessly manage and curate your photographs, making it easier to move forward.”

BRITS’ TOP 20 REGRETS:

1. Caring too much about what people think
2. Not saving enough money earlier in life
3. Not exercising or taking care of their health better
4. Staying in a relationship too long
5. Not telling someone how they really felt
6. Missing out on travel opportunities
7. Spending too much on things they didn’t need
8. Trusting the wrong person
9. Letting friendships fade instead of fighting for them
10. Not pursuing a different career path
11. Giving an ex the benefit of the doubt too many times
12. Not learning a language or instrument when they had the chance
13. Saying something in anger they didn’t mean
14. Not working harder at school
15. Not learning a skill when they had the chance
16. Not telling the one person you love them
17. Ending a relationship too soon
18. Not taking better care of their appearance when they were younger
19. Spending too much time at work instead of with loved ones
20. Posting cringeworthy things on social media they can’t delete

King Charles has been seen arriving at Clarence House in London – potentially paving the way for a reunion with his estranged son Prince Harry.

The monarch was seen leaving the RAF Northolt in West London at around 3pm today after travelling back to the capital from Balmoral, where he has been spending the summer. After driving from the private airbase with a police escort, the King set off for Clarence House, arriving at the royal residence at 3:46pm.

Harry visited Imperial College London today where he dropped in on the Centre for Blast Injury Studies, which he opened 12 years ago before heading out for another visit this evening – meaning there is a potential window of opportunity to meet.

The Duke of Sussex is expected to attend an event, linked to the Invictus Games, elsewhere in London this evening, giving the father and son a small window of opportunity to meet.

He is in the UK this week having attended the WellChild Awards in London on Monday night, before making a trip to Nottingham for a day of engagements on Tuesday.

Harry is set to stay in his home country until at least Thursday, and hopes remain that during his trip to the UK this week, he could meet up with his father, the King.

Sources have said there is a determination on both sides to make a meeting happen. Harry, who previously admitted he wanted reconciliation with his family, is said to be ready to ‘drop everything’ to attend a meeting. A source said: “As Harry has stated before, he’d love to see his family and be reconciled.”

However, both Buckingham Palace and spokespeople for Harry have refused to be drawn on when or whether a meeting will take place.

Father and son last met face to face almost 20 months ago when the duke made a transatlantic dash to see the monarch in February 2024 after hearing of his cancer diagnosis, but they spent just over 30 minutes together before the King left to recuperate in Sandringham.

Harry told the BBC in May that Charles had not been speaking to him due to his court battle over his security, which he lost, and that he does not know “how much longer my father has”.

The Duke has reportedly not been offered a place to stay at a royal residence and is staying at a hotel at his own expense during his trip to the UK.

Harry has also previously spoken out about his hopes for ‘reconciliation’ with his family after railing against them in his and Meghan’s infamous interview with Oprah Winfrey as well as in their controversial Netflix series and his bombshell memoir, Spare.

He said: “Of course, some members of my family will never forgive me for writing a book. Of course, they will never forgive me for lots of things.” Harry added: “But you know, I would love reconciliation with my family,” and said there was “no point in continuing to fight anymore”.

Meanwhile, senior aides to the King and Harry were pictured together in London this July in what was was understood to have been an initial step towards opening channels of communication between the two sides.

The 35-year-old is now back on TV screens in Channel 5’s new thriller The Rumour, in which she stars opposite All Creatures Great and Small actress Rachel Shenton.

The actress and comedian, who has also appeared on reality shows such as Dancing on Ice and I’m A Celebrity, hails from a family of stars.

Here, we take a look into Emily’s famous family and the unique link she has to a member of The Beatles…

Who are Emily’s parents?

Her father is musician Keith Atack, a former member of the 70s pop group Child, and her mother is actress and singer Kate Robbins.

Kate shot to fame in the soap Crossroads and had a top ten single with 80s hit More Than in Love. She starred in Spitting Image for nine years, has also appeared in shows including Afterlife, EastEnders, Death in Paradise, Doctors and Unforgotten.

Keith, 66, is also an actor. He is father to Emily, Martha and George, with ex-wife Kate, who he divorced in 2008.

Famous extended family

Emily’s mum Kate has three sisters, who are all stars in their own right.

Her younger sister Amy Robbins, is an actress, known for her role in ITV’s The Royal, reports OK!.

Kate’s other two other younger sisters, Jane Robbins and Emma Robbins, both boast successful careers too.

Jane Robbins is a successful sculptor, while Emma Robbins is a singer; she was a member of the novelty group The Sheilas, who appeared in a 2007 ad campaign for insurance firm Sheilas’ Wheels.

Kate’s older brother, Ted Robbins, is an actor and comedian, best known for starring as Den Perry in Peter Kay’s Phoenix Nights.

Emily boasts an extraordinary family tie to The Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney. She is a first cousin twice removed of the legendary musician.

Emily’s mother is a first cousin once removed of Sir Paul, with her mother, Elizabeth Robbins, having been Sir Paul’s first cousin.

“Paul is my grandmother’s first cousin. At school I went around saying he was my uncle, as it sounds a bit cooler,” Emily revealed during an appearance on a podcast with comedian Rob Brydon.

“But I grew up with him in our lives. He’s a lovely man, a family man. He was very close to our grandmother, Betty, and our grandad, Mike. They were very helpful to him growing up.”

Emily has also claimed that The Beatles’ 1968 single, Lady Madonna, was inspired by her grandmother.

WWE’s Hulk Hogan was estranged from daughter Brooke in last months of his life and court documents has revealed bombshells about his will

Hulk Hogan, the WWE star who died in July, has left nothing to his estranged daughter Brooke, his will reveals.

In court files obtained by Us Weekly, lawyers for Hulk’s son Nick explained that Brooke was not listed as a beneficiary to his estate, which held just under $5million in assets. But this was her choice.

The will was revealed to have been amended four times. According to TMZ, Brooke has revealed that she was not in the will because she removed herself, fearing she would be caught up in a financial battle after her father’s death if she remained as a beneficiary. Brooke is reported to have requested to be removed from the will in 2023, which was the last time the will was altered.

The assets listed in the court documents included $799,000 in personal and intellectual property, $200,000 in cryptocurrency, and his right to publicity, which is estimated to be worth $4million. His real estate was not included in the documents filed.

Nick Hogan is the sole beneficiary of his father’s estate. Us Weekly floated the idea that the real estate left out of the court documents and valued at $11million may be controlled by a trust.

Hulk died aged 71 in July following a heart attack. His daughter Brooke revealed shortly after that she was not on good terms with her father at the time of his death, explaining that she “had to step away” in the final two years of his life.

Alongside all the assets Brooke could have inherited had she not removed herself from the will, there is reported to be an unknown value gained as a result of a potential medical malpractice lawsuit. This is being considering by Hogan’s widow, Melanie Sky Daily following a neck surgery she believes contributed to the former professional wrestler’s death.

Nick has filed court documents surrounding his father’s will and assets as part of an ongoing lawsuit to stop Todd Clem, who goes by Bubba The Love Sponge, from releasing a planned documentary about Hulk. Todd was a long-time friend of Hulk but his documentary is said to centre on a 2012 scandal where a sex tape of Hulk and Todd’s then wife, Heather Clem, was leaked.

Nick sued Todd over the documentary, claiming it violated an agreement made between Hulk and Todd in 2012. Ultimately, the judge found in favour of Todd, allowing him to publish the documentary if specific images from the tape were removed. Todd has always said he was not behind the tape’s leaking 13 years ago and that it was instead stolen by a former producer of his.

Brooke has confirmed that her father did not blame Todd for the leak. As quoted by TampaBay.com: “My dad told me all the way back in 2012 that he knew it wasn’t Bubba who leaked the tape.

“I remember asking him why they couldn’t be friends again after their settlement, but it was complicated. It makes me sad to think about it, but at least I can be here now.”

Holly got engaged to Adam last September when the swimmer got down on one knee on holiday in Dubai. The pair met when Holly’s younger sister, Tilly, was competing in Strictly Come Dancing, when Adam was also a contestant.

Alongside a series of loved-up snaps of the pair, larking about in the Middle East, Holly wrote: “I am marrying my best friend. I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now. I still remember how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you.

“Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever. I love you and I cannot wait to be your wife.

“I promise to always be there with you and George, I’m so grateful [sic] to be in his life and I cannot wait for more. Everything is better with you. Everything has been better since you. Here’s to forever. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13.”

Meanwhile, Adam gushed that Holly was a “gentle, caring and beautiful woman” as he posted: “I can’t believe you’re going to be my wife. I’m truly the luckiest man on earth to have such a gentle, caring and beautiful woman by my side.
