After posting a stunning holiday photo on Instagram, actress Tina O’Brien has gone mad with her adoring fans.
Since appearing on the ITV soap in 1999, the former Coronation Street star, 41, has demonstrated that she hasn’t aged a day. Tina, a blonde beauty, shared a flirty pale blue summer dress on Instagram on Friday with the sultry holiday snap. Tina aimed for the camera while gazing at the gorgeous image, which showed her beachy waves.
Some of her social media followers flocked to the comments section to gush over her bronzed tan Tina, who is best known for her portrayal of Sarah Platt on Coronation Street, and her aging-defying appearance. One user commented: “OMG! You are not older, after all. You look like someone in their twenties. So beyond stunning”.
Another Instagram user commented: “Sexy lady! My brain literally cannot fathom how this woman is 41-years-old. What the hell”. Someone else remarked, “I need to know what kind of skincare products she uses because she doesn’t usually look this young and good.” She could pass as a twenty-year-old”. While a fifth gushed: “Honestly one of the most beautiful women ever”.

In 1999, Tina made her unforgettable Coronation Street debut as Sarah, and she rose to fame. Since then, she has tied the knot and welcomed two children. Tina appears to be on holiday with her daughter Scarlett, 16, who she shares with ex-boyfriend and fellow former Corrie star, Ryan Thomas.
Tina and her lookalike daughter Scarlett shared a stunning photo earlier this week. Tina and her daughter, who plays Waterloo Road, posed for a selfie in front of a massive mirror and Tina looked stunning. The pair are often branded lookalikes due to Tina’s youthful complexion. The actress oozed sophistication in a striking red dress that was tightly encircled around her body in a snap that Tina shared on Instagram.
While Scarlett, who appears in the BBC One school drama alongside her uncle Adam Thomas, wore a red top and matching dress for their outing and rocked her brunette locks in natural waves. As they both sneered toward the camera, the pair posed similarly.

Scarlett and Tina share amusing clips of one another on social media, but they also share a very close relationship. In one scene, the Issy Charles actress sang along to Muni Long’s Made For Me while Tina tried to relax at the dinner table.
During the clip, the lyrics: “Nobody knows me like you do, nobody gonna love me quite like you”, played before Scarlett leapt up and wrapped her arms around Tina, with many branding her “ageless”. And it seems as though Scarlett’s talent is certainly being cultivated by her two acting parents.

After being forced to leave her son’s residential home, Katie Price revealed how she intends to support him financially.
Harvey, Katie’s eldest son, was born with several complex conditions, including Prader-Willi Syndrome, autism, and partial blindness. Because of these circumstances, he requires ongoing care and support, which makes daily life difficult for him. Unfortunately, Harvey has been “expelled” from his residential care facility.
Katie will then set up a Cameo account and organize meet-and-greets to give Harvey “pocket money” in response. Katie said on her podcast: “Harvey is going to earn some pocket money. I was asked about Harvey doing club PAs the other day when I asked him, “Do you want to do some clubs and get some pocket money?” and he said, ‘ Yes, mum! ‘
So I’m going to get Harvey on Cameo and perform club PAs when he comes back from living nearby. The former glamour model also expressed frustration with the circumstance, noting how long and difficult it would be to find him appropriate care. Katie aims to secure a placement closer to her home in Horsham, West Sussex, to better support Harvey’s well-being.
After being expelled from his residential home, Katie Price has revealed plans to help him (Instagram) make money.
Harvey has been kicked out of his residential home for being ‘ too difficult ‘ according to his famous mum (@katieprice/Instagram)
Harvey’s famous mother claims that his residential home has been made too difficult for him. On her weekly podcast, The Katie Price Show, the frustrated mother-of-five admitted that she felt incredibly let down by the council after being informed that she would need to find new living arrangements for Harvey after the unfortunate series of events.
Filling her listeners in on the unfortunate event, Katie said:” Harvey is supposed to be moving in four-and-a-half weeks, they’ve changed management and said they won’t be able to cater for Harv, because he’s too difficult. So now I’ve got to find another placement for him… so yeah, more drama to deal with. “
Later in the podcast episode, she added:” We worked months and months for that and he was told four-and-a-half weeks before that he couldn’t go there, and Harvey has been doing the countdown. It’s stressful because you want the best for your child, and it takes a lot of time and effort to go back and complete more meetings, forms, and forms.
Katie has five children from different relationships. Her eldest son, Harvey, 22, is from her relationship with footballer Dwight Yorke. She has a son, Junior, 18, and a daughter, Princess, 16, from her marriage to singer Peter Andre. Katie also has two younger children, Jett, 10, and Bunny, 9, from her marriage to builder Kieran Hayler.

Whenever my monthly Lookfantastic box arrives, I get excited at the thought of discovering a new skincare game-changer, hair potion or fragrance obsession. The box for this month includes well-being products whose benefits have been demonstrated to improve sleep and energy levels as well as cosmetic and skincare products.
As a subscription service, once you sign up for either a single month’s Lookfantastic beauty box, at £15 – or a 12 month commitment, £13.00 each, you will receive a recyclable box each month. Inside you’ll find six make-up, skincare, hair care or self-care products to brighten your day.
The February box came packed with goodies from Bondi Sands, Avant, Grow Gorgeous, Sentier, Molton Brown, Revolution and Kind Patches. There were some other standout products for me, in addition to Bondi Sands’ SPF face cream and the Grow Gorgeous hair mask, which I really enjoyed.

The Parisian Embrace is unmatched divine. Its 10ml bottle is ideal to pop in my handbag for freshening up on the go because I’m a sucker for a sweeter scent than one with more musky notes. With fragrant notes of vanilla, brown sugar, and peaches it’s fruity and sweet but not overbearing, which is a lovely pick me up.
Next, the Molton Brown Rhubarb and Rose Bath and Shower Gel 50ml is my new shower favourite. It’s a great size for trips away, and the scent of this shower gel is unreal, which is why it’s going in my top picks selection. The smell is so lovely and fresh, similar to those sweet custard and rhubarb lollies. It lingers on the skin, too, for a while post-shower, which is lovely.
Eve Rowlands’ Sentier perfume has a stunning, elegant, and overpowering sweet smell.
With its creamy texture and ease of application, the Revolution Satin Kiss Lipliner in the shade Chauffeur Nude surprised me. Worth only £3, I was expecting more of a battle—as I’ve experienced in the past—but it exceeded my expectations. It’s a gorgeous pinky nude, too, similar to Pillow Talk Charlotte Tilbury, and I have a feeling I will be using it an awful lot on a day-to-day basis.
The Avant-Hyper-Bright Collagen Eye Restoring Pads, which are thicker than the standard eye pads I use (I adore the $46.40 SpaceNK Charlotte’s Hollywood Skin Secrets Immediate Eye Revival Patches), slid a little when I first applied them under my eyes.
Eve Rowlands’ Revolution Satin Kiss Lipliner has a lovely creamy texture.
The outcomes were quite pleasant despite having to replace the patches frequently over the 15-minute period I was wearing them for. While they weren’t mind-blowing, my eyes certainly looked brighter, slightly more hydrated and slightly less puffy – which I will always take as a win.
My only wish is that there were more patches in the box than just one so that they could be used more than once, even though it’s a great way to test out the rather pricey product before purchasing a three-pack (a three pack from Avant costs £34). If you want to stock up, it’s a one-time treat that can be quite pricey because it comes in a single pack.
I’m yet to test out the Kind Patches, two of which help you sleep, and two help your energy levels, but I’m excited to see how they fare. There are some incredibly positive reviews that claim to aid in sound sleep. This is due to the Dream patch’s formula which includes valerian root, ashwagandha, magnesium and chamomile.
The Avant Hydra-Bright Collagen Eye Restoring Pads (Eve Rowlands) were thicker than I had anticipated but still felt nice on my skin.
One happy shopper has said: “These are amazing, they work very well, they make me drift off to sleep and stay asleep. I have slept so well with these”. In addition, vitamin B12, B3 and B1 are added to the Energy patches to prevent fatigue by releasing energy gradually throughout the day.
I personally enjoyed the majority of the items in this box, as did many other shoppers. One wrote on Lookfantastic’s website: “The size of the Bondi sands is going to be perfect for handbags over summer, same with the perfume, which is lovely. Looking forward to trying the skin brands.
A second said: “I really loved the Avant eye patches and the lip liner”. However, some shoppers said they were disappointed that aside from the Bondi Sands sunscreen, there were not more full-size products included. One person remarked, “I look forward to these every month, but it seems like all we are getting are small samples to try and test them out rather than the good full-size products.”
Another reviewer, however, remarked, “My absolute favorite is the Molten Brown shower gel because of the rhubarb and rose scent.” Was also desperate to try the Kind patch, which, I must say, do work in some way.
” The perfume that is included – wow. What a find. In order to purchase a second box of these, I was tempted to purchase one more. So gorgeous and fresh. These are my standout products, despite everything that was fantastic before.
The Avant Eye Patches (Eve Rowlands) use results in subtle differences in the before and after images.

Bath and shower gel Molton Brown Rhubarb and Rose 50ml (worth £6)
Kind Patches Dream x2 and Energy Patch x2 (worth £4)
Bondi Sands Fragrance Free Sunscreen Lotion SPF50+ Face 75ml (worth more than £8)

After almost a year of hiatus, American rapper J. Cole gave a surprise surprise to fans by releasing a song called cLOUDs.
In a blog post that was recently shared on the website for his Inevitable Audio series, Cole had previously been open about how difficult it was to balance his professional and personal life. He had also revealed that he “didn’t even have a title 20 minutes ago” when he made the decision to share it with the world.
He told fans: “Just wanted to share. made this a few days ago, then I added a second verse and was like” man I got a blog now, I can put whatever I want up there, “he wrote”. 20 minutes ago, I decided to really put this up, but I didn’t have a title. But now I got one… “Titled cLOUDs, the song is produced by DZL, Omen, and” small contributions “from the rapper.

Earlier this week, J. Cole updated fans, saying that he’s finally” locked in “and preparing to release more music. He wrote:” I knowwww mannnn. I’m off to a bad start with the consistency, but I’ma do better! Watch!! “
I’ve been trying to balance my family life with my music, which I love. It’s a juggling act that a blog post wouldn’t do justice in explaining. But with that said, I’m back tending to this garden. “
He continued:” I think I’m gonna let some other people post on here too, to get the vibes up. It will inspire me to check more frequently and will inspire me to post more. I start with Ib and Scott, and then I go on to expand. To anybody in the squad reading, if you trying to contribute I’m taking applications! “
The surprise led fans to take over social media, praising the rapper for his skills and, of course, for finally releasing new music. Some fans exclaimed in capital letters:” HOW CAN SOMEONE BE THIS GOOD AT RAPPING? “A second fan followed:” J. COLE JUST DROPPED THE HARDEST VERSE OF THE YEAR, “accompanied by fire emojis.
A third one commented:” Say what you want about J. cole but when he locks in and raps fr, there’s very few that can rap better than him. “Another said:” J Cole is the best rapper alive and it’s becoming not close. “
The heated drama between rappers Kendrick Lamar and Drake (Getty Images) is the subject of J. Cole’s new single.
The upcoming music will follow his Might Delete Later mixtape in 2024, which included the track” 7 Minute Drill, “aimed at Kendrick Lamar in response to his song” Like That “from Future and Metro Boomin’s We Don’t Trust You album.
Following the dramatic conflict between Kendrick Lamar and Drake, which, by the way, is still ongoing, the rapper has been out of the spotlight for some time. After the artists exchanged diss tracks and references, the tension started in 2023.
J. Cole responded to the row by releasing his album Might Delete Later, in which he attacked the rapper despite acknowledging his contributions to previous songs with “First Person Shooter” to “Inside Like That.” Since then, fans have known little about the rapper, apart from small updates.
His previous mixtapes The Come Up, The Warm Up, and Friday Night Lights were released last November to entice fans until new music is released. However, fans can’t wait to hear more from him, as cLOUDs is just not enough!

Mark Fowler, a legend of EastEnders, was a part of some dramatic plots while he was on the soap, and he is still remembered 22 years later.
Todd Carty, who is now 60, re-entered Albert Square in the early 1990s and played the original character. When Martin Fowler’s brother Mark returned from his youth, he was much more mature and a completely different person. Due to his HIV diagnosis, Mark had to concentrate on his health, which had caused the change.
He struggled to deal with the limitations and illness that came with being in the Square throughout. After deciding to leave Walford, Mark made the decision to enjoy the trip of a lifetime before his untimely passing. Mark euthanized his family and friends in 2003 and kept in touch with them as he traveled.
His brother Martin learned that Mark had passed away from a non-Hodgkins lymphoma-related form a year later. As Mark dispelled myths about his own diagnosis and the wider virus and how it can affect people, the groundbreaking plot helped the BBC soap raise awareness of HIV and AIDS to the national audience.

Two decades after his time on the show, Todd is still acting. He looked completely off Mark at The Lowry Theatre in Manchester last year. While wearing a loose zip-up jacket and blue jeans, he sported a moustache and glasses. Todd’s journey in the entertainment industry began as Tucker Jenkins in Grange Hill – a role that garnered so much popularity that it led to his own spin-off series, Tucker’s Luck, which aired from 1983 to 1985.
The actor has also made appearances on shows like Heartbeat, Holby City, and Doctors. Following his EastEnders tenure, Todd ventured into the world of reality television. His outstanding performance at Dancing on Ice in 2009, which left partner Susie Lipanova adrift for the first time, is still a standout moment. Then, in 2014, he showcased his culinary skills on Celebrity MasterChef and took part in Celebrity 5 Go Caravanning.
Todd has a history of performing on stage. He portrayed Captain Hook in Peter Pan at Rickmansworth’s Watersmeet Theatre from December 2019 to January 2020, as well as Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap in Manchester’s Lowry Theatre last spring. Todd acted alongside Gwyneth Strong, a fellow EastEnders star, and Only Fools and Horses.

Since he has been married to actress and writer Dina Clarkin since 1990, his personal life is heavily connected to the acting world. The couple’s romance dates back to their childhood, with Todd sharing with the Mirror in 2005: “Yes, it’s a real love story. Both of our mothers were friends and we were just kids. After Dina’s mother began to accompany me to auditions, we became friends and we would visit their home for tea.
Dina’s family moved out of London and the pair didn’t see each other for a decade. Speaking of the moment they were reunited Todd said: “I was at a family do when Dina walked in and I just thought, ‘ God, you’re beautiful’. She suddenly returned to my life as a stunning 19-year-old, and I fell in love with her head-first. It was wonderful”. The couple now share two sons, James and Thomas.
