Abbey Clancy, a former Strictly Come Dancing contestant, recently revealed on the most recent episode of the podcast she co-hosts with Peter Crouch that she had been approached for a role on ITV’s “G’Wed.”
Podcast host Abbey Clancy has shared that she was once approached by ITV to appear in one of its shows. She however teased recently that she was snubbed by the broadcaster after agreeing to take part in the project.
Abbey, 39, announced on the latest episode of the Therapy Crouch podcast that she had been approached to appear on G’Wed. The sitcom, which launched last year, follows a group of teenagers and is set in her home city of Liverpool. The BAFTA nominated comedy was brought up on the podcast, hosted by Abbey and her husband Peter Crouch, 44, amid a discussion about Scouse representation on TV. The BBC’s This City is Ours was referenced and then G’Wed.

After the ITV2 sitcom was mentioned whilst recording the episode, Abbey shared: “They asked me to be in that.” Then asked if she had declined the offer to appear on the show, she replied: “I said yeah but they never got back to me.”
The podcast’s creator, Peter and Abbey, were both seen laughing a few moments later. While a background producer said, “Fair enough, I guess. Then, Abbey made a joke about coming, lad. “Get in touch, will you”!
Her remarks come after G’Wed returned for its second season a short while ago. The critically acclaimed television series, which centers on the lives of Reece Duffy (played by Dylan Thomas-Smith) and Aimee Morris (Amber Harrison), was first aired in February of last year.

ITV released the second series in February of this year. Following the release of the first season, it was announced last year that the show would be renewed for two more seasons. Then, according to writer Danny Kenny, “It’s amazing and exciting that we get to do this again, and I can’t wait for series 2 and 3 next year.”
And Danny was praised in a statement that was made public at the time by Nana Hughes, the head of comedy on ITV. In light of the renewal news, Nana said, “It’s great to see that G’wed has found a home on ITVX, ITV1, and ITV2!”
We began to cry while reading “Danny’s” writing, then we actually cried tears the next, and then back to laughter. We can’t wait to welcome everyone back to Liverpool for a second and third series when G’wed returns in 2025 because the show’s enormously talented cast contributed so much charm and cheek to it.

G’Wed is among the nominees at this year’s BAFTA Television Awards, which will be held at the Southbank Centre’s Royal Festival Hall in London next Sunday. The event, broadcast by the BBC, is set to be hosted by Alan Cumming.
G ‘Wed is one of the nominees in the scripted comedy category. At the awards ceremony, Alma will face Not Normal, Brassic, and Ludwig for the award.

David Beckham has kicked off his 50th birthday celebrations in the UK as he invited his family to a lavish bash at his £10m Cotswolds home. The football icon, who marks the milestone on Friday, has made sure he goes all out for the occasion.
He is making the most of his time with his nearest and dearest, having thrown a wild party at his country home. The Beckhams donned their best black-tie looks for the evening as they were treated to rides in supercars including a Porsche Penske. They made sure to party into the night, which ended up with guests jumping into the swimming pool while in their gowns and tuxedos. David and wife Victoria have been quiet on the night’s antics, yet their youngest son Cruz, 20, offered fans a glimpse into the do.

As they prepared to let loose, he and his girlfriend Jackie Apostel, 29, took a sweet photo wearing the same outfit. While Jackie wore a strappy red satin dress, the aspiring musician looked smart while sporting a red tux and red braces.
Louise Adams, Victoria’s identical younger sister, and the party’s hostess also shared family photos. She proudly posed with Tallulah, Finlay, and Liberty, three of her four children.
Her famous sister’s draped black dress made her look stunning. Meanwhile, Finlay displayed his wild antics as he paddled out of a pool of water while demonstrating his skills.

Although it is believed that David and Victoria’s other children were present when the festivities started, they were not photographed.
The family event comes after their eldest child Brooklyn confirmed he was back in the UK with his wife Nicola Peltz. There had been rumours he may not attend David’s celebrations amid a reported fallout with brother Romeo.
Louise, Victoria’s sister, and three of her children also attended.
Brooklyn and Nicola had skipped his dad’s party in Miami last month as he decided to mark his huge birthday with pals in the US. David is expected to bring his sons together at triple-Michelin starred restaurant Core in west London.
Following the numerous reported snubs, this will be the first time the family has been intimate in public. Romeo’s family reportedly had a devastating impact on the Beckham clan when they welcomed her as their new girlfriend, Kim Turnbull.
Unfortunately for Romeo, Brooklyn’s older brother, who was once extremely close to her, dated Rocco Ritchie, is also very close. Kim and Nicola are accused of not liking her and of snubbing family occurrences to show their emotions.
Speculation mounted once again when neither Brooklyn or Nicola publicly wished Victoria a happy 51st birthday. In another twist, neither Victoria or David, commented on Brooklyn and Nicola’s third wedding anniversary.
According to a source, David is “going all out” for his 50th birthday. It’s a true family affair, with Romeo, Cruz, Harper, his and Victoria’s parents included.
Another addition to Daily Mail’s list read, “While the location will be perfect and stunning, his family will be there with him and we’ll be having a wonderful time together.” However, things aren’t doing well right now. Everyone in their lives aspires that any problems will be resolved before David’s big day.

Chimamanda Adichie, a well-known Nigerian author, has revealed details of her personal journey as a mother and why she chose to announce the birth of her twin boys via surrogacy in the media.
The 47-year-old author stated that she hoped that her candor would lessen the societal pressure that many women experience regarding fertility during her debut live broadcast of the #WithChude talk show on Sunday.
“I thought there were many women who would then face pressure from people who would say, “Look, Chimamanda is 47 and she has children at that age, what about you?” she stated.
The award-winning author, Ivara Esege, who is married to a medical doctor, called for the end of the stigma that surrounds women’s reproductive health and fertility issues.
“I just think it’s too much of a burden for women,” she said, “because there is so much shame around fertility issues.” I don’t believe in that kind of shame because “women are ashamed when they have fibroids, and women are ashamed when they have difficulties getting pregnant.”
Are Women Permitted to Have Their Own Dreams, Wonders Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie?
The author of “Half of a Yellow Sun” stated that her hope was that her candor would bring normalcy to conversations about unconventional paths to motherhood, despite her initial regrets for disclosing details about the birth of her children.
She said, “My boys are so precious to me.” And I detested the politicization of anything about them. So, on the one hand, I thought, “I wish I hadn’t talked about it,” but there’s no way I’m going to lie about how they were created.
If there is anything positive to be gained from this, I’m hoping that more women will be less repressed about discussing motherhood through unconventional means. I don’t believe anyone would benefit from our society’s judgmental attitude.
Adichie gave details about the birth of her twins earlier in February, but she chose to keep their identities a secret to prevent the media from seeing them.
She added that many Nigerians were unaware that she had married in 2019, and that she preferred to avoid the public’s view of her private life.
Adichie reiterated that she has no regrets about speaking out or the negative online reviews she received.
She said, “My daughter and my babies are the best gift I’ve ever received.” No regrets, then.
Little Mix star Jesy Nelson has updated her hospital staff with a message as she awaits the arrival of her twins following her emergency operation in March.
Jesy Nelson gave an update on her status while she was in the hospital awaiting her twins.
Jesy Nelson has provided fans with an update as she remains in hospital before the birth of her twins. The former Little Mix singer, 32, has been receiving constant medical care after having emergency surgery earlier this year. She has been supported by partner musician Zion Foster, 26, throughout her worrying time in hospital. Jesy was rushed in after it was discovered her twins were at risk of a condition called twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome.
If untreated, the condition can cause issues for the unborn twins – including growth problems, organ failure, and even death. Still hospital-bound, Jesy has been providing update to her concerned fans. Over the weekend, she was able to watch her boyfriend Zion run the London Marathon on TV as he ran to raise awareness about the condition.

Jesy has since updated her hospital room with additional updates as she adjusts. As she was treated to a beauty session, she continued to be inspired and upbeat.
When she revealed her eyelash extensions, the pop star showed up up upbeat and thankful for some pampering. She explained to the fans, “So the lovely @glashesbyhols came and did my lashes yesterday and I can honestly say I’m obsessed.”
I’ve never had brown lashes before, and she made a little different shape, which I absolutely adore. Don’t believe I’ll ever return to black right away”!

Following surgery in March, the couple took to Instagram to share information. Jesy said: “Hi guys, so we just wanted to give you an update because we know it’s been a while.
We want to wish all the amazing and resilient mothers out there a happy Mother’s Day. Second, I’ve been recovering because we’re still being treated in the hospital.
“But we have some fantastic news. The operation was a success, which is just incredible, and the TTTS has cleared up. We have the most amazing doctors, and we are so, so fortunate.
My cervix is very, very short, so I can’t leave the hospital because my waters could break at any point and I’m still very, very early, in essence.
The singer has been receiving medical attention since March.
Jesy continued, “Ok, I can’t leave the hospital until I’ve spent a certain amount of weeks.” Although we pray that the babies will stay in my belly each week, we are also very grateful that they are still here, that they are still developing, and that we are also very thankful.
Zion then said, “We’re in such a blessed, blessed situation that we’re even able to make this video and share this good news.”
Zion also told the Mirror that Jesy is “ticking off milestones every week” until they can become proud parents. Speaking ahead of running the London Marathon, he said: “They’re just giving us so much hope they’re going to come out healthy and spend the least time in the neonatal unit as possible.
“We’re so grateful because Jesy and the twins have come through so much. There were so many times in this pregnancy we didn’t think we’d get to where we are now.”

Jesy and Zion announced her twin pregnancy in January to fans on social media. He added: “I do think we’ve come out of the storm a little bit. I mean, look, the truth is she’s still premature.
The reality is that they still need to stay in, they say. But where we’ve arrived, we’re just so appreciative. We simply keep ticking off day by day, hoping to let them go as long as possible.

In preparation for the July show, Ozzy Osbourne will play alongside Black Sabbath for the final time.
Ozzy Osbourne has promised fans that their last show will have a “sample” of hits.
Ozzy Osbourne has vowed to “do the best I can” as he prepares to play his final ever live show with Black Sabbath. The frontman and singer, 76, has been diagnosed with a form of Parkinson’s and has had other health issues for a number of years now which have prevented him going back out on tour. Instead Ozzy and Black Sabbath will headline their final gig on July 5th at Villa Park in Birmingham, as part of an event titled “Back To The Beginning”.
For the first time in 20 years, this show will bring together the original band members, including Bill Ward, Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Tony Ward. Ozzy said, “I’ll be there, and I’ll do the best I can,” when he discussed the possibility of getting back on stage. So I’ll just have to “turn up” now.
One last time will Ozzy enter the stage.
He added that “we’re only playing a few songs each,” and that fans can expect more. Because it’s going to be… what’s the word, I don’t want people to think “we’re getting ripped off.” You’ll receive a few Ozzy and Sabbath songs each as a sample.
Additionally, bands from various heavy metal genres, such as Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera, will play at the concert.
However, Ozzy won’t be able to play a full set due to his poor health. He also has Parkinson’s, and he fell at home in 2019 to worsen injuries from a near-fatal quad bike accident in 2003, preventing him from advancing on his No More Tours 2 shows in Europe and the UK.
Continue reading the article.
Due to illness, the Covid pandemic, and logistical issues, the tour had previously been rescheduled several times.
Ozzy told the Guardian, “You wake up the next morning and discover that something else has gone wrong. You start to believe that this will never come to an end.
He continued, adding that his wife Sharon had the idea behind the reunion concert as “something to give me a reason to get up in the morning.”
Without Ward on the drums, the band played its “last” gig in Birmingham in 2017 with Osborne, guitarist Iommi, and bassist Butler.
However, Ozzy missed the Rock ‘N’Roll Hall of Fame inauguration in America last year because of his poor health.
Osbourne, Iommi, Butler, and Ward were escaping a factory-based life in Birmingham where Black Sabbath’s story began.
Their 1970 debut album, which went on to become the UK’s top 10, opened the door to a long line of chart-topping hits.
With more than 75 million albums sold worldwide, they eventually became one of the most well-known and influential metal bands ever.
Osbourne was added for a second time last year after being inducted into the Rock &, Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.
He previously celebrated his home city in 2022 when he helped close the Commonwealth Games.
Through their reality TV series The Osbournes, he gained even more fame alongside his wife Sharon, who he wed in 1982 and who has three children, Aimee, Jack, and Kelly.
All profits from the July 5 show will go to charities including Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice, which is supported by Aston Villa.
When things started to go wrong, Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby were once the best friends in the industry, friends both on and off the screen, and there is no doubt about it.
From laughter and a lot of bad blood to Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby
Phillip Schofield and Holly Willoughby, who fronted more than one primetime show together, were the TV’s “golden couple” a few years ago. As well as hosting iconic daytime series This Morning together for over 14 years, the pair dazzled as co-hosts of Saturday evening show Dancing On Ice – back when it commanded millions of viewers.
Phillip and Holly’s natural onscreen chemistry, which frequently caused them to giggle, was a testament to their genuine friendship, which was remarkable in the shark-infested waters of the competitive television industry.
After frequently winning awards at the annual National TV Awards, the pair would often show up in ITV studios red-eyed and arriving worse for wear. But the personal friendship and professional partnership all came crashing down on May 18, 2023. Since their most recent performance together, they haven’t been seen together in public.
The Mirror looks at the sad demise of what was once the most solid of professional and personal partnerships.
Phil quits and admits ‘ I’ve lost my best friend ‘

It was May last year when the TV world was rocked as 63-year-old Phillip dramatically “quit” This Morning after admitting to lying about an ‘unwise but not illegal’ affair’ with a 20-year-old runner on the programme.
Along with the scandal, rumors about the alleged conflict between the former best friends started to spread. Following allegations that they had queue-jumped while watching the late Queen Elizabeth II lay in state at Westminster Hall in September 2022, they were subjected to criticism.
Matters between the pair appeared to escalate when Holly, 44, released a statement saying she was left feeling “hurt” after Phil’s “lies” came to light. In a bombshell interview with the BBC, Phil spoke about his last text to Holly before ties were severed.

“The last time we had a conversation was when I texted Holly and said, ‘ Don’t reply ‘ – this was after the statement last week – ‘ Don’t reply, you’re probably not allowed to, but I am deeply deeply sorry that I lied to you. I am, too. He added that he had “lost my best friend” and that the incident “was the one secret in our sanctuary that was never mentioned.”
Addressing rumours that the mum-of-three knew about the affair, Phillip said: “Holly did not know. And she was one of my first texts to express my regret for lying to you. She didn’t respond, and I am aware of why. So yeah. That is absolutely, wholly false if anyone is attempting to link Holly to this in any way.
Sex abuse scandal involving Phil’s brother

On May 19 2023 Phil’s brother Timothy was jailed for 12 years after being convicted of sexually abusing a vulnerable teenage boy over a three-year period. Initially Holly was reportedly furious that Phil kept her in the dark about the trial.
A friend told the Mirror: “There is a narrative – uncorrected by Holly’s team – that she was blindsided by news of his brother’s court case and was furious with him for keeping her in the dark about it.
‘But that narrative couldn’t be further from the truth.’
But when it became ‘bad for her brand’, it is understood Holly quickly turned her back on the former This Morning star when Timothy went on trial in May.
Phil’s bitterness

Phil initially stated that he comprehended Holly’s distance.
He told The Sun:” Quite rightly, when I am in the middle of a s*** show with bad press over something where I have done nothing wrong – in fact, I did everything right – it’s a witch hunt. And that eliminates that. She will take a step back and say, “I have to step back from this,” and I fully understand that.
But Holly’s apparent disinterest in patching things up appears to have caused an even wider rift, with Phil making some veiled jibes at his former friend and co-host in the 2024 Channel 5 show Cast Away.
I miss certain aspects of being on television, Phil said. If I’m honest, I miss most of it. But there are bits that I really, really, really don’t miss. “
You can learn a lot about people, Phil continued, despite Holly never being named. That’s something I’m not missing. When you throw someone under a bus, you’ve got to have a really bloody good reason to do it. “
Phil spent ten weeks away from Madagascar on an isolated tropical island.
He also made an appearance to mock Holly’s embarrassing “are you OK?” intro to viewers on This Morning after he left. When Phil and his wife Steph and their two daughters Molly, 31, and Ruby, 28, were filmed having a barbecue in their garden where he joked, “If you’re okay, then we’re okay, and I’m okay,” it became apparent that there is no end to their love these days. “Are you alright?”
Then, Phil made a bombshell remark suggesting he was fired from the This Morning sofa rather than leaving by choice after two decades, Phil said:” It’s inconceivable that I would quit]any show that he is on]. He continued, “I don’t quit, in a blunt comment. I’ve lost my job. But I never quit. “
In another scene whilst fishing on the island, he could be referring to Holly again when he says: “People who I thought were my friends, just went. And that’s like ‘what the hell?’.
Holly’s revels in having the “witch” status.

In October 2-24 it was claimed in The Sun, that Phil refers to his former pal Holly, 43, as ‘the witch’, within his inner circle. Friends of the disgraced presenter said Phil felt Holly and a This Morning boss had staged a ‘very well constructed coup’ as the country witnessed his dramatic fall from grace.
According to a source speaking to The Sun, he even uses a hatted hag’s emoji when discussing her with pals if she comes up.
A few days after Phil’s nickname for his ex bestie was reported, Holly seemingly referenced the jibe as she shared a picture of Kate Moss dressed as a witch on the catwalk in the 1990s for a Happy Halloween post.
The blonde beauty added Donovan’s Season of the Witch single in the background to tamp down the flame.
Phil snubs Holly’s new year’s resolution.

Holly returned to Dancing On Ice this year with Phil’s replacement Stephen Mulhern.
Since its launch in 2006, the pair has presented the program. Christine Lampard took over from Holly for three years, before Holly and Phil rejoined in 2018 after a break.
Catchphrase host Stephen permanently joined Holly Willoughby in presenting the sixteenth season of Dancing on Ice in January 2023. However the permanency of his role didn’t last long as the series was axed after this year’s series ended in March.
Following the blow, Holly issued an emotional statement on Instagram, but failed to mention her former co-host Phillip in the statement or feature him in photos. Following Dancing on Ice’ s axe, she shared a behind the scenes photo of the latest series as well as throwback snaps and wrote: “A huge thank you to @itv, The brilliant team, Crew, Celebrities and Everyone who has been part of our Dancing on Ice family over the last 19 years.

“Every year, just when January felt at its greyest, Dancing on Ice arrived like a burst of glittering, dazzling light, warm, joyful, and full of heart… It has been an absolute privilege to work alongside true national treasures Jayne Torvill and Christopher Dean, and to have a front-row seat to their breathtaking skating.
