Rebekah Vardy offers Coleen Rooney olive branch after rival gets second place on I’m A Celebrity

I’m A Celebrity¦ Get Me Out of Here! ended last night, and a celebrity is returning with a surprising message of support while one star wipes his tears.

In the final episode of the popular ITV reality series, Coleen Rooney, 38, came in second to McFly star Danny Jones, and while she didn’t win, it seems like she is returning to her former self after her rival posted a very public and unanticipated sentiment.

Rebekah Vardy and her fellow WAG were unkind after the notorious Wagatha Christie trial in 2022. All of that may change as soon as Coleen receives an encouraging message in her final I’m A Celebrity Hot take, which was airing for its 24th season.

Rebekah has instead chosen to take the mature approach when she has taken a swipe at Coleen between each episode of the popular reality show and has been writing a column for The Sun.

In a short video shared on the news outlet’s website, Rebekah recapped the final, telling fans that Reverend Richard Coles, who placed third in the competition, is her “absolute favourite campmate of all time”. She said she “loved” watching it play out and thinks it’s “wonderful” and hopes he and GK Barry remove their unlikely friendship from television.

When it came time for her to recap Coleen’s I’m A Celebrity journey, Rebekah, who was wearing a dark-coloured jumper with her hair pulled up, played it cool and said her former pal has “had a fab series”. As she headed home with her family, Wayne Rooney and their four boys, she continued to claim that Coleen has “really done well” and should be proud.

Knowing her comments would have surprised viewers, Rebekah smiled coyly as she explained: “I know you’re all waiting for me to say something else, but I’m sorry to disappoint. It’s just not happening. It’s really, really time to move on and end the year with a positive”.

Rebekah and Coleen’s relationship deteriorated in 2019 when Coleen revealed to The Sun that Rebekah had been leaking private Instagram posts. In retaliation, Rebekah sued her former pal for libel, with the trial taking place in London in May 2022.

Rebekah was ordered to pay Rebekah’s legal costs in addition to her own after the court determined that Coleen’s claims were “substantially true” in the wake of the highly publicized legal battle. Around the $3 million mark is thought to have been spent on the project. Rebekah appears to be ready to leave it all behind.

As for how Rebekah felt about Danny’s win, she said the musician was “born for this” and was so impressed that he “just got on with it” and never moaned or complained. She continued to praise his vulnerability and ability to hear from others in times of need while expressing how significant “how much it meant to him when he won” was.

Jay-Z rape accuser’s lawyer denies blackmail attempt on music star after furious statement

The lawyer who is representing the woman who claims Jay-Z raped her when she was 13 has denied trying to blackmail the singer.

The rapper, who is known as Shawn Carter, 55, and rapper P Diddy are both named in a new lawsuit. The accuser, who has been given a name by legal documents as Jane Doe, claimed the 2000 MTV Music Awards assault took place at a party.

Sean “Diddy” Combs was the first to file a lawsuit against him in New York’s Southern District in October, and it later received Jay-Z. In his denial, Jay-Z claimed that the Jane Doe accuser is attempting to ‘ blackmail ‘ him.

However, Texas lawyer Tony Buzbee, who is representing 120 alleged victims of Sean ‘ Diddy ‘ Combs, has now hit back at the blackmail claims on behalf of the woman.

The attorney claimed to TMZ that Mr. Carter had previously denied bringing legal action against me and my company. He even filed a pseudonym for his obscene case.

He says that my firm sent his lawyer a demand letter on behalf of an alleged victim, but that victim never demanded a penny from him in his most recent statement.

“Instead, she only sought a confidential mediation. Mr. Carter has attempted to bully me and this plaintiff because I sent the letter on her behalf. His actions have had the opposite effect. She is emboldened. I’m very proud of her resolve”.

Via the Instagram page of his label, Roc Nation, Jay-Z shared a strongly worded denial to the new allegations, implying that the unnamed woman’s lawyer was an “ambulance chaser” trying to extort him – and that his attempts would fail.

He wrote: “My lawyer received a blackmail attempt, called a demand letter, from a” lawyer “named Tony Buzbee. He had anticipated that these allegations’ nature and the prospect of public scrutiny would lead to a settlement.

” No sir, it had the opposite effect! I wanted to make you known for being a fraud in a very public manner. So no, I will not give you ONE RED PENNY!! I ask that you file a criminal complaint rather than a civil one because these allegations are so heinous! Would you not agree that a minor who commits such a crime against a minor should be kept a lock?

If that were the case, “these alleged victims would deserve real justice.” This lawyer, who I have done a bit of research on, seems to have a pattern of these type of theatrics. My family is the only source of my heartache. One of my wife’s children, who is at the age of 18, will undoubtedly see the news, be asked about the nature of these claims, and to explain the cruelty and lust of people, is where we will have to sit down.

” I mourn yet another loss of innocence. Children shouldn’t have to deal with this when they are young. It is unfair to have to investigate the absurdities of human nature intended to destroy families and the spirit.

“I have no idea how you came to be such a horrible person, Mr. Buzbee, but I promise you that because I’ve seen your kind numerous times, I’m more than capable of dealing with your kind.” You claim to be a marine?! Marines are known for their valor, you have neither honor nor dignity.

True victims everywhere need my heart and support, and this ambulance chaser wearing a cheap suit must watch as their lives are dressed in costume for profit.

“I’m not from your world. I’m a young man who managed to escape Brooklyn’s project. We don’t play these types of games. Our standards for integrity and conduct. We protect children, you seem to exploit people for personal gain.

” Only your network of conspiracy theorists, fake physics, will believe the idiotic claims you have levied against me that, if not for the seriousness surrounding harm to kids, would be laughable. I’m eager to let you know how I’m different.

The Texas attorney Tony Buzbee has urged others to report crimes against the rapper and represents 120 of the rapper’s alleged victims in Texas.

Olay eye cream that ‘reduces puffiness’ is now £9 down from £25 in better than £10 Tuesday deal

Calling all skincare shoppers. Save yourself a lot on Amazon by purchasing the highly acclaimed Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel for a price tag of £9.49, down from the expensive £25. This tiny pot of wonder promises to revive your “tired, dehydrated skin” by packing a punch with hyaluronic acid.

This eye cream’s usual asking price is £25, but Amazon has slashed its cost significantly to £9.49 for a limited period. The current rate undercuts rivals Boots and Superdrug, which are sticking with a full £24.99 price tag.

Hyaluronic acid (Amazon) is present in the eye cream.

This beauty essential from Olay promises to deeply moisturise and lessen signs of tiredness, not the least of the first pesky fine lines that start to appear around the eyes, to achieve that wide-awake look. According to Devon Live, it is concocted with peptides, Niacinamide, and a dash of cucumber extract leading to ‘ long-lasting hydration’.

Olay advises applying this gel twice daily after your regular skin wash if your results indicate you’ve clocked in the coveted eight hours of sleep. Dot gently around the eye area, especially on parched patches, tapping lightly until it’s fully absorbed, reports OK!

Amazon customers have hailed the Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel as an ‘ Amazon’s Choice ‘ product, earning an admirable average score of 4.3 out of 5 stars. Happy users include one five-star reviewer who commented: “Excellent product which is very good for reducing dark circles and puffiness”.

Another fan gushed: “Wow. Lovely to use. Cool and cooling, and it appears to lessen puffy and sagging eyes.

One satisfied customer exclaimed: “Provides immediate relief. A good price for a great product. This is a joy to apply because I have dry skin around my eyes. It’s something I’d suggest. A good tip is to keep it in the fridge, it feels lovely on my skin”.

The Olay product received four stars from another customer, recognizing its benefits and drawbacks as “refreshing eye gel.” Although this is my second pot, I don’t think it’s helped with fine lines or puffiness. It’s quite cooling too. I’ll undoubtedly use it, but only if it’s available because I can’t justify paying full price for a tub that small.

However, one Amazon customer was left disappointed: “I’ve been using this product for over a month and there’s absolutely no difference”.

During this sale, you can purchase the Olay Eyes Deep Hydrating Eye Gel from Amazon for just $99.

If you’re on the hunt for other options, Boots is offering the No7 HydraLuminous+ Cooling Eye Gel for £14.95, while LookFantastic has cut the price of La Roche-Posay Pigmentclar Eyes down to £23.25.

‘Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour made me cry as I realised how much her music has healed me’

I can’t help but reflect on how much of a truly transformative experience it was when the Eras tour ended in Vancouver. After surviving the great war on Ticketmaster, I had the opportunity to see two shows in London.

In my room, I had watched all of the TikTok livestreams for the year leading up to the performances and sang along along. You didn’t even need to be physically present to see the pure joy of an Eras tour show, which is Swift’s magic. I was sucked into the recaps, the outfits, the girlies dressing up. It was peak girlhood, at its finest.

Taylor Swift’s debut album, Taylor Swift, was released in 2007, and I first saw her on YouTube in 2007. Before I finally persuaded my Mum to order the CD, which had been ordered from America on Ebay, I kept hearing her track “Tim McGraw” on repeat for days. I listened intently to what she said and had dreams about finding the love she mentioned. I believe that Swift is the real reason I’m still a hopeless romantic.

I had a broken heart to do it.

It’s a fact of life that I’ve experienced heartbreak and fall in love a few times in my life. It wasn’t until seeing Swift live and re-living all of her heart-breaks with her, that I realised, maybe my wounds weren’t quite as mended as I had hoped they were. I could feel it, when she sang. I felt as though I was going through this with her as she began her journey through her various eras.

When she began to sing Fearless, I recall how I felt when I first heard it, and the memories that followed, which had become discolored over time. I cried with her as she sang and I could feel these memories, that I had buried within myself, come out again. I allowed myself to feel things I hadn’t in years.

I had a broken heart to do it.

My “smallest men I ever knew” is what I wrote.

I’m open to sharing my feelings, but I can admit that I did it after both of my significant breakups that I fell in love with both of them. Nothing positive could be seen through the lens of my alteration, and I only could see the negatives. I somehow allowed that to happen because these men had taken away my sparkle. I had a bad feeling about being in love because there had to be something wrong with me, but Swift made it clear that this wasn’t the case.

In this day and age, I believe that being a woman is so difficult because social media and peer pressure make it so easy for you to compare yourself to others. I was bad for that, in my head, these guys didn’t want me because I wasn’t skinny enough, I wasn’t pretty enough, or I wasn’t smart enough. Taylor Swift’s description of this situation helped me heal because it made me realize that none of those things were accurate. It made me realize that the right person would never alter my self-esteem.

Taylor Swift and her music seem to have taught me a lot. When I needed to smile or cry, her songs have been there for me. There is always a song that you can relate to because you have gone through the same thing, and she has one that can capture any moment in time. When I allowed my brain to try so hard to keep buried when I was watching the Eras tour, I could feel the things that had been buried there.

I’ll forget it too well for a second.

Taylor is just a girl, just like the rest of us, and the many eras she traverse reveal that she has a human side. She talks about herself so openly in her music that it inspires you to do the same. She struggled with this. These shows really helped change that, despite my long-held, very negative opinion of myself.

I know in life, you’re not everyone’s cup of tea and that’s what’s beautiful about it. Everyone is not for you, just like you are. This was a problem I had with really late in my twenties when I was in my late teens. I would hide parts of myself to make it so that everyone would like me. Anyone who has come across me knows that I speak my mind openly, but that hasn’t always been the case. In fact, I was once afraid to speak up because I was worried what others might think of me. I know now, that it’s okay to speak, not everyone’s going to like what you have to say and that is okay.

‘ All Too Well ‘ helped my heart heal

Because it’s my favorite Swift album, The Red era was one that made me through my first heartache in particular, which made the Red era particularly painful. I stomped into my duvet while listening to All Too Well on repeat, as if someone had literally ripped my heart out of my chest. Hearing this live temporarily recalled those emotions, but it also revealed to me that I am now so much more powerful than I did when I first started loving myself. Although I can recall the bad times far too well, I never let them define me. I have far greater strength than I have ever been given credit for.

Meet me at midnight

By the time the Midnights era started to roll around, I had truly felt like I was going on a journey of soul-searching and discovery, which is difficult to describe unless you were present. The music of Swift brought thousands of people together in one place, which is a pretty unique thing.

I had the opportunity to network with thousands of women who had gone through the same experiences and were now better off than they were. So call it delusion, call it crazy, in fact, call it what you want, but Swift’s music and show experience truly had healing powers for me.

The concert allowed me to feel everything again, but from a different, more grown perspective. It taught me that I am a unique human being and allowed me to confront my emotions.

I was taken to a place of healing that I hadn’t realised I so desperately still needed, and for that, I thank her endlessly. There were still standing walls in the Eras tour before they were abruptly destroyed.

I came to the realization that I am perfect in every way and that I don’t need to mold myself to win others over. I had the freedom to be who I wanted to be. What Swift managed to convey made me feel was truly remarkable. All that there is left to say is so long, Eras tour, you made a young woman very happy. I will remember it, all too well.

Zara shoppers slam ‘hideous’ £60 shoes that are so bad ‘they should be illegal’

A pair of “monstrous” Zara shoes, which retailed for £59.99, sparked a debate among shoppers about the necessity of a fashion cutoff point. After spotting the contentious footwear on Zara’s website, customers didn’t hold back their disapproval, with one even joking that Zara deserves “jail time” for selling them.

TikTok user Bronte Rose, aka @bronterose_ online, posted a video where she teased her boyfriend about purchasing the peculiar kitten heels. These shoes aren’t your standard shoes, they’re layered in mesh fabric featuring images of feet, complete with red toenails, creating a well-groomed foot illusion.

Bronte quipped in her video: “Zara has been cooking again. Who did this”? She humorously aligned the shoe design to her own nail colour, remarking: “They would actually kinda match my nails”. Her partner Matt was far from impressed, responding with a baffled look as he dismissed her shoe-shopping suggestion.

Following up with further disbelief, Bronte reflected: “How this made it to shelves is wild. Who approved these. Surely you’re not even selling one pair. It has to be a joke”. Everyone who wrote her post expressed disdain. One user commented: “Diabolical”. Another chimed in with: “What are those”! Others were equally dumbfounded, with comments like: “Haha oh my lord”.

“OMG, I saw these online today, and I didn’t go back. Who is buying these”? and a bewildered observation: “Omg. But why do the toes resemble claws? After one of Zara’s dresses became a hit on the internet, fashionistas rushed to its website. After causing a stir on TikTok, the £59.99 tulle dress with ruffles and beads has evolved into a must-have winter wardrobe item.

Fans have been gushing over the dress, with one user posting: “WHERE’S THE DRESS FROM YOU LOOK STUNNING”, while another exclaimed: “Oh my god the dress! You look stunning! Can I know the brand”? Yet another joined the chorus of admiration saying: “I actually gasped! This dress is divine”.

Another fan admitted: “This dress is gorgeous”, and one simply raved: “Now THAT’S a DRESS!”! The showstopper was also tipped as a festive hit, with comments such as: “I love that dress it’s stunning. But I’m getting Christmas tree vibes. That would be worn to “every Christmas event”

Zara has been contacted for comment.

Gino D’Acampo breaks silence after ‘inappropriate behaviour’ claims with one-word remark

Gino D’Acampo has resisted accusations of “inappropriate behavior” and has since broken his silence.

The TV chef simply responded with a one-word message. He shared a post from a food blogger on Instagram with a huge hamper of Gino-branded goods. Alongside the post, Gino wrote: “Enjoy!”! The Italian was charged with inappropriate behavior over the course of five years last week.

Last week, the unnamed woman complained to ITV executives. She reportedly worked with D’Acampo between 2006 and 2011. Gino’s post marked his first social media post since the allegations were made public. According to what she knows, the woman made the decision to speak out in response to numerous accusations made against BBC MasterChef presenter Gregg Wallace, who has since resigned as show host.

Gino, 48, is reportedly being slowly sidelined by ITV as a result of a string of unfavorable claims, according to reports. A source close to the latest complainant said: “She worked]with Gino] for five years. She has come forward in response to the Gregg Wallace scandal and his comments that his accusers are middle-class women of a certain age, according to a source in the Sun.

We have a duty of care to any complainant that comes forward, according to an ITV source. According to reports, the star, who has appeared on This Morning, was fired from the ITV series Gordon, Gino, and Fred: Road Trip after allegedly refusing to sign a morality clause in his contract, which stipulates that parties must adhere to stringent behavioural standards.

Gino was accused of flashing crew members who were reportedly offered counseling while on the set of his most recent show with Fred Siriex, Emission Impossible, according to sources. The source told the publication: “Filming was halted and Gino was put on a training course. Some of his humor and antics in 2024 have become increasingly difficult to tolerate, and he frequently refers to himself as Justin Beaver.

Gino’s dating program Cooking Up Love was canceled after two episodes, and Gino has only appeared on This Morning twice this year. He has already been filmed, so he will return to the big screen for Family Fortunes next year. Gino and Fred’s Emission Impossible, Gino and Fred’s new series, “attempts to go green,” was created by Gino and Fred Sirieix for First Dates.

Although the duo and Gordon Ramsay had success together, their hit television show abruptly ended when Gino sensationally announced his intention to stop filming any more Gordon, Gino, and Fred Road Trips in March of last year. The rumor of a fight between the culinary stars only grew when Gino and Fred announced they would be filming a new show together.

Gino resigned from the show with Gordon after initially mentioning contract disputes and insider secrets. It was highlighted that Gordon, Gino &amp, Fred: Road Trip is produced by Gordon’s production company Studio Ramsay. In a message to fans, Gino insisted there hadn’t been a fallout between the stars.
