Fans can now see the couple’s new life as they leave the UK for Dubai, according to photos shared on Instagram.

Candid photographs give Kate and Rio Ferdinand fans a sneaky glimpse into their “new chapter” following their move to Dubai.

The Mirror told how the couple had left the UK for the sunny United Arab Emirates (UAE). Now, stunning snaps of their new scenery, including a picture looking onto the famous Burj Khalifa building with three of their children, have been posted on Instagram.

Additionally, new information about the move has surfaced, such as how the bolthole was already listed for 32.5 million dirhams (6, 550, 310) in April. Al Barari, an exclusive gated community with over 15.3 million square feet of preserved green space, has been dubbed the “Green Heart of Dubai,” earning praise for it.

Properties there are celebrated for their “generous layouts” and “clean designs,” qualities reflected in the batch of new photographs Rio, 46, and 33-year-old Kate have posted online. One image shows the couple in the pool of the grand seven-bedroom mansion, where they will live with son Cree, four, and daughter Shae, two, as well as Lorenz, Tate, 16, and Tia, 13, who Rio had in his previous marriage.

Former TOWIE star Kate recently wrote on Instagram that she wanted “a new chapter, a fresh start because we won’t succeed until we try.” Ahhh ! We’ve been discussing this for a while, but it finally seems like it’s happening. We’re here, we’re making a new home there, and we’ve been talking about it for a while.

The family had lived in Bromley, southeast London, in the UK where Rio worked as a pundit for TNT Sports. However, the Manchester United legend quit this role for the move overseas.

And his brand-new home also has a “state of the art” kitchen complete with fashionable appliances and a stylish center island with grey counters. The master bedroom’s minimalist design features wooden and brown accents in the pictures. However, the main bedroom has a “spa-inspired” bathroom, walk-in closets for each guest, and a balcony with views of their lush garden and the nearby lake.

In keeping with the lush green foliage that is outside, there is an open-plan living room with light green curtains. The expansive patio doors open up to the luxe pool and offer stunning views.

For the clan, particularly Rio, who was raised in Camberwell, south London, the situation is quite different. Lorenz’s son Lorenz signed his first professional contract with Brighton in July after playing for England 81 times for Rio. The teen has since moved to the UAE with his family.

The Al Barari residence is close to Dubai’s main social hubs and amenities. Other famous families live in the area, including Caroline Stanbury, a member of The Real Housewives of Dubai, and her husband, Sergio Carrallo, a former player for Real Madrid.

Myleene Klass, the star of I’m A Celebrity, shared a story about her life as a person of Filipino descent and how she’s been affected by ‘ignorant’ comments.

I’m A Celebrity star Myleene Klass has told fans that she’s faced “ignorant” comments and racism over her Filipino heritage. She’s spoken about her experience and recalled an incident that she said happened amid celebrations over her MBE.

Myleene, 47, was awarded an MBE by King Charles at Windsor Castle just last month for services to women’s health, miscarriage awareness and charity. The musician said at the time that she was “utterly overjoyed and humbled” to receive the award from the monarch.

The musician, whose mother Magdalena is from the Philippines, referenced the honour whilst writing about having Filipino heritage in a post on Instagram on Monday. It came in response to someone who reacted to a previous post about her having performed at pal Nick Ferrari’s wedding last week.

When the troll wrote to her, “You look so much like my maid when I was a Brazilian. Any woman who has money can be presentable, which is interesting. Bravo”! Then, in two separate posts, Myleene responded.

Myleene appeared to be reflecting on previous events in her life before writing in the first post: “This was said to me at Westminster. Dinner for Bankers in the City. at the entrance to the classroom. You resemble my Filipino cleaner, I suppose. My maid . My nanny. ‘”

“All honorable jobs,” she continued. However, this connection is the only one that has ever been made. I’m from Philippines. I’m also liminal. We are frequently only seen through that lens because our “in” to many nations has historically been through acts of service. That’s why it’s important to have a positive disruptor and represent yourself.

You limit and define me before I can define myself, but when you assume your role because of my race, you do more than just make an ignorant comment. That qualifies as racism. It is treacherous. I’m proud to enter the Palace, Parliament, boardrooms, and business meetings because of it.

Not as someone’s stereotype of a “good Asian girl” or a fetishized trope, Myleene continued to tell her followers. But as a self, I’m occupying space that no longer belongs to me and making sure my children see that as well.

She concluded by highlighting the value of representation. Representation is not symbolic; it is survival and how we break the cycle so that our children don’t have to conform to the narrow roles that society has assigned them.

The message that Myleene had received in a second post on her Instagram Story was then changed. She claimed that while discussing her MBE, someone who she identified as “a white cis male” shared a “contrarian” comment with her.

WCM: You should move into the Palace at this rate, she wrote in the follow-up post posted on Monday. Me: “Because I spend a lot of time there these days,” I ask? WCM: “No, because every Kensington home has a Filipino accent.”

Myleene continued, “This was said to be by a white cis man at a work gathering for a cheap laugh when my MBE was being discussed and celebrated. The worrying aspect of this joke is that it was the WCM’s idea of a joke, which is also why I’m so proud of the positive change and representation I continued to evoke with my voice and work, as well as by being “a little brown” (yeah had that too).

Natalie Cassidy, a former EastEnders star, claims that the fitness DVDs she purchased when she was younger were mistaken.

Natalie Cassidy says she is no longer concerned about her weight and that she regrets making a fitness DVD.

The former EastEnders actor and podcast host fronted a ‘Then & Now’ workout DVD in December 2007 where she said she lost 2.5 stone thanks to the exercises she did on screen. She later made a ‘perfect ten’ one in 2013 too.

But looking back, Natalie told Radio Times: “The DVD wasn’t a good move for me – I did it for the money. I’m now 42, and to be honest, I could be doing a bit more exercise at the moment, but I just can’t be bothered. I think, ‘If this is the size I’m meant to be, then I need to be happy with that.’

I avoid eating too much. My food is delicious. A glass of wine is what I enjoy. You can’t have crisps every day, but I do. I believe everything to be moderate. My days aren’t as good if I choose to lose a lot of weight.

Natalie is currently on screen in ITV series Cooking With The Stars and also fronts her own podcast series.

She has now left EastEnders having played Sonia Fowler since 1993. But despite playing the role for so long, she insists it wasn’t a hard call to make.

It was a very natural choice, she said.

“Sometimes when you’re in something, you think that’s all there is, so when I had a break from EastEnders last year, I did The Masked Singer and a doc for Channel 4 [What’s the Big Deal: Britain’s Best Buys?].

You’ll never know what’s out there, they say. I therefore intended to observe Sonia and see what else is happening.

Happy Days, Natalie’s autobiography, is set to be released in October and will “enter her readers on a journey through the highs and lows and the changing seasons of life.” Additionally, she wants to work on television more.

She continued, “I’m really enjoying being myself, but I’m really looking forward to having a gritty or funny role.”

After moving away from London, Natalie and Marc Humphreys, a cameraman, have two daughters who adore living in the countryside.
