American actress Drew Barrymore revealed the extent of her daughter’s agonizing holiday injury while riding an e-bike in France.

Drew Barrymore has opened up on the terrifying incident that left her daughter with a nasty injury. The actress and chat show host, 50, said the family had a scary emergency situation as one of her daughters came hurtling off her electric bike during a trip in France.

Drew, who shares daughters Olive, 12, and Frankie, 11, with her ex-husband Will Kopelman, revealed the scary ordeal which made her cancel her plans with Stephen Colbert. Speaking on her pal’s US show, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Drew told the host how she was in “fabulous France” when the nightmare happened.

When Drew claimed her daughter “ripped her entire elbow open,” the family was biking deep in the mountains. Numerous hospital visits were resulted from it.

We spent days in and out of an E. R., Drew told her pal. She claimed that when the initial incident occurred, her daughter had to think quickly.

As she praised her daughter’s quick thinking, Drew said, “She ripped off her bra and turned it into a tourniquet.” When the presenter attempted to give the mother-of-two some praise, she was also quick to take a dig at herself for teaching her daughter.

“No! That’s who she is, Drew said. And I’m just enthralled by her.

Prior to becoming a mother, Drew admitted earlier this year that she had been selfish. She acknowledged that while being a mother is “consuming,” she actually “prefers” this version of herself.

She wrote, “I’m still not myself,” in response to a fan’s question about how long it took her to regain her sense of self after giving birth. And I’m not sure if I’ll ever return to the carefree, self-centered person I was when I was a child.

I have two daughters and I can never let go of my love and concern for them. It consumes a lot. I’m just attempting to embrace who I am. And I’m now more comfortable with myself.

She continued, “I’m much more capable,” in her US Weekly article at the time. much more reliable. Much more admirable than I’ve ever been.

The 50 First Dates star, however, also emphasized that parenthood and child-freedom should be seen as “considered perfectly fulfilling roads” in life. And she claimed that the most powerful tool for self-discovery is “time.”

She continued, “Motherhood” or “otherhood” should be regarded as being entirely fulfilling roads. And may each of them help us become better people.

However, I believe this takes time. There are a lot of things involved in maturity. The great teacher is time.

Mark Labbett, also known as The Beast, is a Chaser on ITV’s The Chase and its spin-off Beat The Chasers. Recently, his co-star Darragh Ennis has revealed a behind-the-scenes secret.

Mark Labbett’s co-stars often have to stop him from doing one thing on Beat the Chasers due to his “big massive ego”, a fellow Chaser has claimed. Known as ‘The Menace’ on the popular ITV show, Darragh spilled the beans during an appearance on the Dempsey’s Dozen podcast, revealing that Mark, also known as ‘The Beast’, gets “genuinely mad” when he’s bested.

Mark and Darragh share the title of Chaser with Shaun Wallace (The Dark Destroyer), Anne Hegerty (The Governess), Paul Sinha (The Sinnerman), and Jenny Ryan (The Vixen).

During the conversation, the host brought up a moment from ‘The Chase’ where Mark ran out of time, leaving several questions unanswered. He said this incident left him “p****d off” and that he even “actually walked off”, highlighting just how seriously the Chaser takes the game.

Darragh agreed that they “do take it seriously” and that Mark was the “worst loser in the world”, although he claimed that the Chaser wouldn’t mind him saying as much, adding that he “genuinely hates it” and it’s “not an act”.

He explained that “He might play it a little bit, but he’s genuinely mad, really angry, a sore loser who kicks off, and then, five minutes later, he’s fine.” He simply doesn’t like losing, and he is extremely competitive, you see.

When we’re doing Beat the Chasers, we need to keep telling him to stop buzzing because he wants to impress because he has a huge, massive ego.

In 2024, a contestant alleged that Mark was so incensed by a loss that he punched the ITV set. Ballet dancer Wayne Sleep faced off against The Beast in 2018, alongside Emmerdale’s Dominic Brunt, Good Morning Britain’s Charlotte Hawkins, and comedian Ricky Tomlinson.

Chatting with the Daily Star, Wayne expressed his desire to return to the show, revealing that Mark was “fuming” after his defeat and “punched the scenery as he left”.

He remarked, “I asked Bradley, Is he always like that?” and he claimed that a ballet boy had beaten him, and that he was furious. He also didn’t talk to us much after that.

Wayne continued, “let’s make it happen” if he were given the chance to make another appearance on the quiz show.

In another incident, Mark recently walked off Beat The Chasers (Sunday, August 31) after losing £100,000 to lucky contestant Gavin, quipping: “I’ll get my coat”.

Before telling the contestant they would cut their time by 40 seconds and invited him to compete for the substantial sum, he described the other offers as “stingy.”

In the end, Gavin clinched victory with just four seconds to spare. Host Bradley Walsh quipped: “Beastie, you’d best leave now.”

First off, well played, Sir, Mark responded. I’ll get my coat, then”! The Beast then left.

Boxer Tommy Fury missed out on 30k of cycling because of problems with the road closures in France, but didn’t mention it in his social media posts, leading to claims he ‘ cheated ‘

Tommy Fury has been blasted for claiming he’d “completed” his first triathlon – when in reality he didn’t finish the swim or biking sections of the race. The boxer, 26, posted pictures of himself crossing the finishing line of the gruelling 100k race, which took place in France last week. He was cheered on by girlfriend Molly Mae Hague and their daughter Bambi, two, who had travelled there to surprise him.

“I left it all out in the French Riviera. 100KM triathlon on 10 days training… completed,” he wrote on Instagram, posting a video of his final jelly-legged sprint over the line.

But sports experts have since pointed out on website tri247.com that his name has a DNF next to it on the Sportstats website, meaning he did not finish, The full race has three stages, a 2km swim, 80km bike ride and 18km run but Tommy was not logged beyond 48km on the bike, and also had his swim cut short.

A statement from the Professional Triathletes Organisation confirmed that a total of 93 athletes were affected by problems with the roads, which needed to be reopened before they had finished their laps. “Due to our permit for the road closures in France, unfortunately Tommy and some other athletes in the 100km amateur race were unable to complete the bike course before the cut-off time”, they explained.

“However, given our philosophy to grow the sport and encourage new athletes, we wanted to give them as full an experience as possible. So they were all given the opportunity to do the 18km run and cross the finish line”.

Social media posts from Tommy, the younger brother of boxing champ Tyson, showed his fiancée, Molly Mae, cheering him on during the run along with his daughter, and also congratulating him with a long hug at the end. She posted “proud” next to his finish line video.

But while the posts about the race drew nearly 300k likes, some of his followers made their disappointment clear. One told him: “Come on lad, you missed the swim cut off and only did 50k of the bike.” Another agreed: “This is embarrassing. Officials have confirmed that you didn’t make the cut off times yet here is the frightening world of social media, people would have more respect for you if you were honest.”

Additionally, other athletes criticized him even harsher. When people like you cheapen the efforts of others who didn’t do the full swim or the bike, as they have cheated on me, it makes me sick.

Another concurred that allowing athletes to accept credit for their non-performances undermines the sport’s reputation.

However, some still admired what he had accomplished in just 10 days of training. “Insane accomplishment,” according to Daniel Chambers. Because they can’t do it, everyone who makes the negative comments is a sign of their jealousy of what you are capable of accomplishing.

Liliana posted a photo of herself and Dave on Facebook and wrote: “We don’t speak about these moments, but today I will. It would have been his birthday tomorrow.

“Holding the hand of someone you love as they leave this world changes you forever. In that intimate moment, all the noise of the world fades away, and between you and them, there is just love. It’s the moment you realise how short and how precious is this experience called life.

And how fortunate are you to witness this loss of a loved one. In this fleeting last breath, the entire universe collapsing in a beautiful silence in front of you.

She continued, “I had this incredible privilege to witness this uncountable, sacred moment, something so tragic and beautiful, that forever altered my outlook on life. It was Dave’s final gift to me, serving as a reminder to cherish what we shared and to live more fully grateful and joyfully for the time I have left.

Thank you, my love, for every gift you gave me, because you made me the best version of myself. Thank you for allowing me to contribute to your life and the world.

Liliana discussed her struggles with losing her soul mate earlier this year. She openly described her experience with grief and the many difficulties she faces. Liliana stated in her moving message, “Through three distinct experiences to report. Yesterday, I was training for my motorcycle, and as I drove over there, I was considering giving up.

“Because I’ve already messed up and stumbled before, and I didn’t want to waste anyone’s time on me.” The most compassionate instructor I encountered, Mark from Darbyshire Motorcycle School, said, “I met him with compassion.” You can’t just give up right now, Lili. You have a lot of fans because of your modeling skills. You now have voice control. That made my eyes open, oommmmm.

In an effort to honor her late husband, she also revealed that she has written a memoir. She outlined the new book as “a tremendous challenge for me on many levels” during announcing it. But what, exactly? By writing Dave’s story, I honored him with all of my creative side. Our tale The reveal is coming today!!! “Dave and Me,” the book, was released in June.

He stated, “I can’t really be a ***** with social media atm, but I must appreciate art in Wetherspoons,” while writing over a picture of some artwork in the British pub chain Wetherspoons.

Henry left a heartbreaking message to fans on his own social media shortly after the split, captioning it: “Hello, I just wanted to say a sincere thank you for all the kind, thoughtful messages today. I’m making an effort not to look online in excess because it makes me anxious.

He continued, “Truthfully, I’m heartbroken,” in the post. It’s heartbreaking to see my first relationship come to an end. Although today has been one of my life’s most difficult days, I’m optimistic that things will get better over time.

I’ll just say that I loved deeply, stayed true to myself, gave it everything I could, and I’m currently suffering a lot as a result. I’m again grateful for your kindness. More than you are aware of, I suppose.

He later confirmed in a statement that he had split from Jordan. Henry wrote, “After much thought, Jordan and I have decided to leave our respective ways,” as originally reported at the time. We are both hurting a lot, but we are confident that this is the right course. W

Although Louise Redknapp revealed that she has a particular ritual at home, she’s unsure if she was intended to spill the beans. She just dropped her fifth studio album.

Louise Redknapp has accidentally let slip a secret about her domestic routine, confessing she wasn’t sure if she was “meant to say that”. During a recent appearance on the We’re Not Getting Any Younger podcast, the pop sensation discussed the inspirations behind her fifth studio album, ‘Confessions’, revealing her desire to keep it “current” whilst steering clear of anything nostalgic.

To accomplish this goal, she delved into contemporary music, though she acknowledged it remained “age-appropriate” as she isn’t “trying to be a 20-year-old” or copying Grammy Award-winning star Sabrina Carpenter.

Louise, who shares two teenage sons, Charley and Beau, with former husband Jamie Redknapp, was quizzed about her boys’ opinion of one of her tracks.

They informed her it would be a “cool” song if it wasn’t her performing it. Nevertheless, Louise took this in her stride, as her lads apparently rarely dish out praise, something she claims extends to her culinary efforts as well.

This led her to disclose that she regularly prepares them a tasty morning treat. She explained: “I do a sausage sandwich every morning, sausage sandwich every morning. I mean, that’s commitment.”

One presenter inquired as to whether the bread had been toasting. The hosts gave Louise an ovative nod and said, “Yeah, I toast the brioche.”

She continued, “I know, I don’t know if I’m supposed to say that because he’s supposed to be super healthy and having sourdough, but occasionally he likes a brioche.”

She also revealed that her sons don’t cook for her, but they do order her items when they get a takeaway. The ‘Light of My Life’ singer often indulges in some halloumi on these occasions.

Louise first shot to fame with the girl band Eternal before embarking on a successful solo career. Her debut album, Naked, spawned several top-ten hits and she went on to release four more albums, including Woman in Me and Elbow Beach.

After her 19-year marriage to footballer Jamie Redknapp came to an end, it was revealed in 2023 that she had found love again with aerospace firm CEO Drew Michael, whom she reportedly started dating that same year.

Louise revealed her relationship with Drew in a previous interview with the home magazine woman&amp. You can’t blame anyone else for your happiness, she said. Yes, Drew is fantastic, and I’m having a great time, but the key is to move forward and feel self-conscious.

She has also openly discussed the significant role that her sons played in her separation from Jamie.
