Due to ongoing interest in her rumored romance with Louis Tomlinson, Love Island star Zara McDermott has decided to go a darker shade for the summer.

Presenter Zara McDermott has been met with compliments from fans after showcasing her “new hair”. The Love Island star unveiled her latest look in a photo this weekend and revealed that she had opted for a change ahead of summer.

Zara, 28 – who’s pursued a career on TV as a documentary filmmaker since appearing on the ITV2 show in 2018 – gave a glimpse of her hairstyle on Instagram earlier this evening. She shared a photo of herself modelling her “new hair” whilst at a salon in London following the treatment.

The reality TV star, who typically wears a lighter hairstyle, revealed to her followers on Instagram that she had chosen to go “dark caramel” at her most recent appointment. She made fun of the “magic” that her team applied to her hair.

Zara wrote, “Dark caramel for summer,” in the caption of the new selfie. In the most recent post, which has already received over 16, 000 likes, she used several emojis, including one that depicts sunshine and another that represents a jar of honey.

She thanked Grace and Alexe, both of whom work for the Hershesons brand, for the transformation as she wrapped up the caption. Zara wrote in the post, “Thank you for working your magic,” before tagging them.

The former Strictly Come Dancing contestant went on to promote her post on her Instagram Story. Teasing over the change to her appearance, she told her followers: “New hair.” Zara put a series of heart emojis beside the caption.

In the comments section of her first post, people commented on her new appearance. One fan responded, “Your new hair color, Zara, is obsessional. Another person said, “This color suits you so much,” as they were sharing their thoughts.

Zara, a third follower, said, “You look stunning.” In response to the post, someone wrote, “Oh wow that’s a fabulous color on you.” While a user earlier said, “Omg! Your stylist is amazing.

In the recently released photo, others praised Zara’s appearance as “absolutely gorgeous” and “beautiful.” Someone once said, “Wow, Zara], you look so stunning with darker hair.” While another follower expressed his admiration for the presenter’s new hair.

The update comes just days after Zara reflected on last month in a round-up post on the platform. It included photos of her from trips abroad that she enjoyed in recent weeks, with some of them having shown her out in the US.

She didn’t share any photos of herself and One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson, 33, whom she’s thought to be dating, despite them having spent time together whilst she was in California. The rumoured couple, who have been romantically linked since March, were spotted sharing a kiss at one point.

The post however attracted reaction from some of Louis’ family though. His sister Lottie Tomlinson, 26, replied with a heart emoji, prompting Zara to share a kissing emoji back. Younger sibling Phoebe Tomlinson, 21, shared kissing emojis herself, with Zara responding with emojis of a heart and lips.

Joe Swash has opened up about his shopping addiction and how it has caused him to spend “pointless” money, which he knows will irritate his wife Stacey Solomon tonight before making an appearance on Blankety Blank.

EastEnders’ Joe Swash has opened up about his “addiction” to online shopping on TikTok, which he fears could land him in “big trouble” with his wife, Loose Women’s Stacey Solomon.

The TV star openly acknowledged that he frequently falls for items sold at low prices but ends up buying them in bulk, a fact he believes is influenced by his ADHD, and expressed his concerns about the financial impact of his frequent impulse purchases.

ADHD, as described by the NHS website, means your brain functions in a different fashion, leading to difficulties with concentration and sitting still.

Additionally, the condition can lead to an increased tendency to act impulsively, such as while shopping.

Joe confessed that his most recent purchase, a slingshot chicken finger toy, caught his attention while planning family time for his and Stacey’s brood, including their children Rex, Rose, Belle, and Joe’s Harry, along with Stacey’s sons Zachary and Leighton from previous relationships, on Tom Price’s “My Mate Bought A Toaster” podcast.

Joe eagerly admitted to buying 20 of them for Tom. The host, who also has ADHD, said, “There’s going to be a slingshot chicken off when daddy gets home, so everyone’s going to be able to have a go.”

There will definitely be, Joe quipped. Or Stacey will cause me serious trouble because I simply cheated up money on another pointless product.

When asked about his spending habits, the I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! champ confessed: “Yeah. I think the trap that I fall into is that because I feel like I buy stuff at a low price, I forget about the quantity of stuff that I’m getting.

So instead of spending hundreds of dollars on three or four items that might be really expensive but still be useful, I’ll spend more on small things.

Joe acknowledged that getting his wife’s support during online shopping hits and misses was difficult because “she’s not comfortable with my TikTok addiction. She therefore refuses to participate in it.

The TV star, who is currently receiving treatment for ADHD, said, “I’ve just been diagnosed with it, so I’m sort of new to it. So I’ve started the medication and stuff like that, so I’m not really sure [about it].

He humorously stated, “I lost the medication, I believe, it’s all swings and roundabouts. Therefore, I had to place an additional order for the medication.

Just days before the start of the new series’ filming season, Geordie Shore star Sophie Kasaei and her boyfriend Jordan Brook reportedly left the MTV reality series.

The new series of Geordie Shore has been thrown into chaos before the cameras have even rolled after two of the main stars pulled out. We hear OG Sophie Kasaei and her boyfriend Jordan Brook have quit, leaving producers pulling their hair out. With filming due to begin in Portugal later this week, our insider tells us the mood is not great in camp. The source says: “Sophie and Jordan pulled out last-minute, and it’s caused mayhem. The rest of the cast are upset and confused – they feel it won’t be the same without them. Nobody’s quite sure what’s gone on… it happened days before everyone was flying out to Portugal and it’s the talk of the show.”

Sophie has been a Geordie Shore favourite since the show’s 2011 launch. She won viewers over by talking openly about her fertility battle. In 2023, she joined rival reality series, The Only Way Is Essex.

In March, we revealed Geordie Shore ’s 26th series would come from Lisbon – and told how it was kicking off behind the scenes as the stars of the show weren’t happy about the money being offered.

Insiders told us earlier this year that some of the star had demanded up to £50,000 for a couple of weeks’ filming. Our source also says some of the OGs were less than impressed about the direction the show appears to be going in. They explain: “It’s become more scripted than unscripted, with some clamping down on what can be said. But that’s not what Geordie Shore is all about. Fans love how raw and uncensored it is. It has definitely got people’s backs up.” Portugal was chosen as the latest location after the gang went to the Thai party island of Ko Samui for a recent nine-episode outing earlier this year.

Holly Hagan, Chloe Ferry, Ricci Guarnaccio, and James Tindale are still a part of the cast, which we’re pleased to hear.

In the final series, Ricci and James almost broke up, with the pair almost coming to terms with each other’s simmering tensions. Jay Gardner made a comment about James’ ex-fiancee Leah Bowley in the 2023 reunion series that set off the conversation. When Ricci attempted to defend his friend Jay, the situation erupted into a physical altercation.

Sophie and Jordan have been candidly sharing their ongoing journey towards parenthood.

The couple, who have been together since November 2022, have faced challenges in their quest to conceive but remain optimistic and united in their efforts.

Their fertility journey has been a topic they’ve openly discussed with fans. Sophie, diagnosed with endometriosis in 2020, has been transparent about the challenges they’ve faced. She shared to OK! magazine, “I thought I’d get pregnant straight away, but it’s a lot harder than people think.” Despite the hurdles, Sophie remains hopeful, stating, “I won’t give up. It will happen one day.”

Jordan has also been open about their experiences. He revealed that the couple had been trying to conceive for more than a year and had a sporadic false positive, which was emotionally draining.

He acknowledged that, contrary to popular belief, “Forget about it, when you don’t think about it, it’s going to happen,” but trust me, you can’t. They’ve chosen to take a more relaxed approach, stepping back from stringent ovulation tests and tracking, to lessen the pressure. More than anything, Jordan said, “I want to be a dad.” She and I are both ready to be wonderful mothers.

David Beckham will celebrate his 50th in style with his family and A-list pals tonight – but there’s one VIP guest who is likely to be missing

David Beckham turned 50 on Friday and has already celebrated with a black tie pre-birthday bash in Miami and a family gathering at his £10 million home in the Cotswolds where guests could drive supercars.

The footie legend also hired a £40 million Brigadier Global 6000 private jet and spent an afternoon wine tasting in Bordeaux, where he was spotted holding a £3,000 bottle of wine. He later had dinner at his favourite restaurant, Chez l’Ami Louis, in Paris with his family, in what was called a ‘perfect day’.

But the celebrations are set to continue in London tonight with an intimate dinner party at swanky central London restaurant Core by Clare Smyth, which has no less than three Michelin stars. The posh seven-course menu starts from £420 per person, including wine pairing.

It’s thought David’s A-list pals like Tom Cruise, Guy Ritchie, Gordon and Tana Ramsay and his former teammates will be in attendance at the sit-down meal for around 40 select guests. Of course wife Victoria will also be there, along with their kids, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 20, and 13-year-old Harper.

But one very important person who apparently hasn’t RSVP’d yet is eldest son Brooklyn, 26, and his actress and heiress wife Nicola Peltz, 30. The pair were noticeably missing when the Beckhams private jet landed at Luton airport yesterday with the rest of the family, including Romeo’s girlfriend Kim Turnbull, as well as Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel, on board.

Brooklyn has so far failed to wish his father a Happy Birthday on social media. Wife Nicola has also stayed silent. Though the couple are reportedly in the UK right now, it’s unclear if they are attending David’s big birthday bash tonight.

A source told The Sun: “Tonight is the big London bash with his celeb pals, family and friends but although Brooklyn and his wife, Nicola, are invited – and are in town – they have yet to RSVP.”

The source added: “There has been some contact between them though. So it’s all very up in the air. There’s certainly a lot of tension there right now, but David just wants to focus on the positives, and what will be will be.”

There are rumours of another feud between Brooklyn and his family, which is reported to be over brother Romeo’s new girlfriend Kim. The 24-year-old is a London-based model and DJ who used to date Guy Ritchie and Madonna’s son Rocco.

But she is also said to have once dated Brooklyn when they were teenagers, which hasn’t gone down well with his wife Nicola. The couple are said to have distanced themselves from family gatherings so they don’t cross paths with Kim.

According to media outlets across the pond, Brooklyn and Nicola allegedly believe Kim does not have the right intentions when it comes to dating Romeo. However, Victoria is said to adore Kim and Cruz’s girlfriend Jackie Apostel. So will Brooklyn be a no-show at his dad’s birthday bash?

Christie Brinkley, an iconic American swimwear model, has released her autobiography Uptown Girl: A Memoir, which has revealed details about her life and career.

Christie Brinkley has shared details about the strict diet she adhered to in order to keep a slim figure. One of the most recognizable models of the past fifty years is the 71-year-old American model.

She made history by appearing on three consecutive covers in 1979, 1980, and 1981, making her the first to do so on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues. She also served as CoverGirl’s face for a generation of girls and women, and she also held positions with major fashion houses like Chanel and Revlon.

Fans of Christie discovered her unlike anything else last month when she revealed details of her life in Uptown Girl: A Memoir, her autobiography. She shared details about her life and career in her book’s pages, as well as her disbelief in the lengths she would go to keep herself slim.

Christie provides details about her 1970s diary entries, which she kept a log of when she was eating, in her memoir. Her diet included “one bite of Gruyère cheese,” 0% fat yogurt, and orange, brown rice, and a sugar-free digestive cookie on a date.

According to RadarOnline, she wrote, “I can’t believe that this was my idea of healthy,” when she looked at her pages. She continued, “But at the time, I was so desperate to fit into designer clothes, which only had runway size, which was impossible to wear as a young model.”

The more I was thinner, the more likely I could change into a dress or pantsuit, and the less self-conscious I would be at work.

Even so, I spent a lot of time modeling with the back zippers open and models asking me to turn this way or that so the camera wouldn’t see my jerry-rigged outfit.

Errol Sawyer, an American photographer who first saw the star when she was 19 years old, is the person who first gave her a name in modeling. In a Paris central téléphonique office in 1973, the photographer spotted the future model.

Fans have been enthralled by the star’s youthful appearance despite the fact that she has spent decades in the limelight. And she confirmed in recent weeks that over the years she had had some cosmetic procedures.

She told People magazine last month that she primarily does lasers. I don’t try to remove every crease. I’ve experimented with fillers, and I see my city doctor. I don’t want to appear “done” or anything else.

The American actress revealed her skin cancer diagnosis last year. She explained to People, “I recently underwent Fraxel, a skin resurfacing treatment, because I had skin cancer. It removes pre-cancerous cells.” For me right now, it’s primarily about my health.

She said, “I was literally told you will be chewed up and spit out by 30,” referring to her career.

I thought I had never felt better in my life, and I sat there at the top. I made the decision to embrace the numbers because I didn’t want them to define me.
