Marks & Spencer’s £28 tapered linen trousers are a spring/summer essential, and Mirror shopping writer Grace’s go-to for office days thanks to their comfort and versatility

In my eyes, linen trousers are a spring/summer essential. Thanks to their versatility, they can be worn for so many different occasions, from beach trips to office days and alfresco dinners. And now spring is here and summer is on the horizon, it’s definitely the time to add a new pair to the wardrobe.

Marks & Spencer has one of the best selection of linen trousers in right now, but you’ll have to be quick if you want to get your hands on a pair as they can sell out super fast. A few ofour favourite’s at the moment include: the Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers in Blue, £27.50; the Linen Rich Wide Leg Cropped Trousers, £27.50; and the Per Una Linen Blend Striped Drawstring Wide Leg Trousers, £45.

I tried out their Linen-Rich Drawstring Tapered Trousers and was so surprised with the softness. They felt amazing on the skin, and gave a smarter look than some of the wider-leg styles I’ve tried.

I paired the trousers with trainers so they looked more casual; however, they could easily be teamed with a pair of mules or Mary Janes to look more office-appropriate. They also pair amazingly with shirts, which is not always the case when it comes to linen trousers.

The tapered leg is what makes this pair a little different than the classic wide leg linen trousers, as it provides a more professional, and less beachy look. The neutral styles are selling out fast, but the navy and khaki colourways are still in stock in most sizes. However, we predict this won’t last for much longer.

I tested a few other linen trousers out and considering the affordable £23 price tag, I was really surprised with the fit and quality of this Bershka pair. They probably fit me the best out of all the others in terms of leg length and around the waist. I love the neutral sand colour, and they’re also available to purchase in three other colours: white, black, and a spring-ready pale pink.

Additonally, the barrel leg silhouette is the trendiest trouser shape of the season, and I love how the shape of this ASOS pair immediately made this pair look slightly different from the linen trousers we often see.

Kristen Stewart and Dylan Meyer have tied the knot. The Twilight star, 35, and the 37-year-old actress and screenwriter said their vows in the garden of their home in Los Angeles on Easter Sunday, surrounded by close friends and family.

In pictures seen from the couple’s special day, Kristen can be seen in a causal matching two piece, while Dylan wore a sheer white blouse and gold skirt and held a white and blue bouquet. Kristen is pictured placing a ring on Dylan’s finger and the loved-up duo making their first kiss as a married couple.

Guests include Pretty Little Liars star Ashley Benson and her husband Brandon Davis According to US outlet TMZ, Kristen and Dylan obtained their marriage license in Los Angeles County on April 15. The pair got engaged in 2021 after two years together.

The couple were in no rush to get hitched and had a “loose” plan for their wedding. Kristen recently told the ‘Not Skinny But Not Fat’ podcast: “We’re both, like, really casual people, and so we did this sweeping, tradition thing where we were like, ‘Marry me! You marry me! ‘.

“And then we just never planned a wedding because we were like, ‘We kind of did it. ‘ But we’ll do it. I think we have a very loose plan, which is appropriate to us. “

Meanwhile, Kristen and Dylan have frozen their eggs in a bid to start a family in the future.

Kristen said: “We’ve done really annoying things like freeze our eggs and stuff. So if we want to we can. ” The ‘Charlie’s Angels’ star recently admitted she is looking forward to having children one day.

She told Rolling Stone magazine: “I don’t know what my family’s going to look like, but there’s no way that I don’t start acquiring kids. And also, ideally at some point soon I go, ‘I want to have a kid. ’ I really want that to happen. ”

However, the ‘Spencer’ star admitted she is “scared” of the idea of giving birth because she doesn’t like the idea of feeling out of control.

She said: “I’m not scared of being pregnant. I’m not scared of having a kid. But I’m so scared of childbirth, it’s crazy. I hate that. I mean, I smoke a lot of weed — I obviously self-medicate — but I don’t like hard drugs. And I’ve tried — a lot. I just can’t deal. ”

Kristine and Dylan met on a movie set six years ago. Dylan has written and co-starred in multiple films and TV shows. She co-wrote and executive produced the 2016 Netflix movie XOXO, starring Sarah Hyland. She also wrote the short films Loose Ends (2015) and Rock Bottom (2019), As for her acting credits, Meyer has appeared in short films including The Death and Return of Superman (2011), Wrestling Isn’t Wrestling (2015), and Jem Reacts to the New Jem and the Holograms Trailer (2015).

Kristin and Dylan got together with the former split with model Stella Maxwell. They went Instagram official in 2019 and spent lockdown together in the US.

Katie Price has opened up about her son Harvey Price’s health and she admits he is struggling with his weight – but she has vowed to help him through

Katie Price is “heartbroken” over Harvey Price’s health battles as she gave fans an update. The reality star and former model has been open about her son’s health and recently revealed he was close to being 30 stone.

Katie shares Harvey with her ex Dwight Yorke and her son, 22, has a rare genetic disorder called Prader-Willi syndrome, which causes symptoms such as slow growth and constant hunger. In a new update, Katie admitted Harvey’s weight was “life-threatening”.

“I’m so heartbroken and gutted that his weight is just going up. I just googled it in stones, 188kg is just a few kg of being 30 stone. It’s so life-threatening now, I’m still waiting for the doctors to get back to me starting on the mounjaro and his journey to a healthy life. It’s so sad his quality of life at the moment where he’s so big,” she said.

“He just can’t really do much. It’s just another thing I have to deal with because he’s at high risk of having a heart attack, he struggles to put his trainers or struggles to walk anywhere but I love him and I’m going to help him through this. “

Katie had previously explained his health was really serious as she admitted they had turned to the doctors for support.

Speaking about his health, she had said: “It’s really, really serious and life-changing for Harvey. He’s at risk of a heart attack and because of his condition, he’s not getting any smaller. He’s putting on weight. It doesn’t matter what we do.

“He can’t put his shoes on without sweating. He can’t walk far because he gets out of breath. It’s because of all the weight. So the doctors are doing it to give him a better, longer life, and for his health. “

Katie described his Prader-Will syndrome as “cruel” and admitted it can be “hard work”.

She said: “It’s a cruel and horrible illness where he feels hungry all the time – and if he doesn’t get food, he gets angry. It’s hard work. He’ll smash things up if you say no. I’ve had to re-plaster my walls because he’ll bash holes in them with his head. “

Katie recently took Harvey back to college, but admitted it was a feat to get him back there as he was upset about going.

She said: “It’s always hard taking Harvey back to college,” as she says: “Harvey’s upset, aren’t you Harv? It’s okay. ” Talking to camera, she then added: “Now that was very difficult, it was really upsetting. Harvey just did not want to go back to college …

“I’m surprised I’ve still got a car left, he was literally gonna go for the car. It is so sad when your son just doesn’t wanna go to college and just wants to be with you all the time. That’s why I can’t wait for him to come home near us but the place we have got for him is not ready yet – maybe in May. So yeah, it is heartbreaking. “

Kerry Katona has revealed an OnlyFans ultimatum she would give to any future romantic partners, weighing in on whether her work on the adult site have impacted relationships.

After making millions on adult subscription site OnlyFans, Kerry Katona says her work on the X-rated platform is a non-negotiable when it comes to romantic relationships. The mum-of-five has been making money on OnlyFans since 2020 and charges $24.99 a month for fans to subscribe to her platform.

And following the news that boxer Nicola Adams’ split from her partner Ella Baig was impacted by the latter’s career on OnlyFans, Kerry explains whether the career path has ever caused her issues in relationships, and how she will handle it with any future partners.

Kerry, 44, who split from her fiancé Ryan Mahoney in November last year, wrote in her New! Magazine column: “I was sad to hear about Nicola Adams splitting up with her partner Ella Baig – I hope they’re both doing OK. I read that Nicola said Ella’s OnlyFans career impacted their relationship, which is a shame.

“I can’t relate too much because while I do OnlyFans, it didn’t negatively impact my relationship when I was with Ryan, it’s just a job and we both knew that. “

Continuing that it won’t be something that’s up for discussion with future partners, Kerry shared: “I’ve not been in a relationship since then so I don’t know the potential problems it can cause, but if I do meet someone new, it is something they’re going to need to accept. It’s what I do and how I make money for my kids, so they’d need to understand that. “

Boxer Nicola, who shares a son with her ex Ella, spoke out last week about how OnlyFans impacted their relationship. She told The Sun: “I have always been incredibly supportive of Ella’s career and the choices she has made, including her work on OnlyFans. “

“However, as much as I respect what she does, I can’t deny that it has had an impact on our relationship. “

Kerry has spoken openly about the positives she has gained from her work on the site, previously detailing how it pulled her from near-bankruptcy to thriving financially.

Detailing how the platform changed her life, , Kerry explained to The Sun in 2021: “It’s been amazing for my career, I haven’t stopped working. When I first did it I said to the kids ‘I’m going to do this, and I’m going to go topless – if anyone has any problems, let me know’

The former Atomic Kitten singer continued: “Our Lilly said she wasn’t happy about it, and I said ‘wait until the money comes in and see how you feel about it then. ‘

“And once the money did start coming in they all had an iPad each and they had no problems! I’ve bought myself a Lamborghini Urus too, which comes in March. “

Jelly shoes are officially back, and Marks & Spencer is leading the resurgence with its £20 ballet flats available in three different colours

As with all trends, they circle around and round of being in and out of fashion, and the latest trend to have a resurgence is jelly shoes. Much to the millennials’ delight, this ’90s shoe trend is officially back, and Marks & Spencer is leading the way with bright and playful styles for £20.

Although jelly shoes are a bit of a controversial “ugly” shoe trend that you either love or hate, M&S’ take is a bit cooler than the ones you probably have in your head.

The Jelly Slip-On Ballet Pumps retail for £19.50 and are available in vibrant red, simple white, and neutral grey/clear . They feature a round-toe and flat sole keeping them comfortable on your feet all day long.

What makes them chicer than previous jelly shoes from the 90s and 00s is the woven detail, which is reminiscent of trending styles from the likes of Bottega Veneta and Zimmerman. They also combine the popular ballet flat trend with the jelly shoe material, resulting in a sleeker-looking shoe that you could dress up for more formal occasions.

Considering the jelly shoes are a new drop on the site, there’s only been one review, and it’s filled with nothing but praise. The shopper wrote: “Jellies! Lightweight, stylish, wash them under the tap”.

As the review says, one of the best design features of jelly shoes is that they can be washed so easily, making them versatile for a range of things. Pack them away in your suitcase and wear them easily from the beach to an alfresco dinner.

Simply dress them up with a floaty midi dress like this Linen Rich Round Neck Strappy Midi Swing Dress, £49. 50, and a stylish basket bag like this Straw Basket Bag, £49. 50.

As there is a jelly shoe resurgence, a few other brands have laucnhed their own iteration on the trend. Topshop has some Slingback Ballet Flats available for £26 and three different colours. While Next has a baby pink pair of Jelly Ballerinas available for £18.

Peter Andre discusses ‘hurtful’ comments about him in 1999 indie film Human Traffic as he opens up about the SNL skit which had White Lotus actress Aimee Lee Wood hurt.

Peter Andre has opened up about ‘horrific’ comments Danny Dyer once made about him in 1999 film Human Traffic, admitting they left him feeling hurt. It comes as the Mysterious Girl singer has come under fire this week and had some negative comments directed at him for starring in a new film,

While Peter is yet to address the backlash, he did take to his weekly New! Magazine column this week to give his opinion on controversy surrounding Saturday Night Live for a parody sketch they aired which mimicked actress Aimee Lou Wood and her quirky smile, leaving her hurt.

Looking back at jokes made about himself which left him feeling a similar way, Peter wrote: “I saw on Instagram that White Lotus actress Aimee Lou Wood felt the SNL skit was mean and unfunny. I get that. In the nineties, Danny Dyer’s character in the film Human Traffic said some horrific things about me.

“At the time I was really hurt and upset, but I’ve met Danny many times and he’s lovely and we get on great. It’s hard to draw a line between comedy and art and real-life, sometimes. I hope she wasn’t too upset and is able to move past it. She’s a brilliantly talented actress. . “

Peter has been embroiled in his own drama this week as many are unhappy with his role in new film Jafaican, for which the trailer dropped this week.

The movie, which features Peter as a Jamaican gangster, has divided the internet, with many disapproving of Peter’s character wearing a dreadlock wig and putting on a Jamaican accent for his feature film outing. Many have questioned “why is Jamaica always the butt of the joke” and some have even gone as far to brand the film racist.

The plot is teased as follows: “Desperate to secure £35,000 for his gran’s care, small-time crook Gazza jumps on a risky tip-off and hatches a daring scam. With just 21 days to pull it off, he must immerse himself in Jamaican culture to con his way between London and Jamaica. “

Peter shared the trailer with his fans on both Instagram and Twitter (X) on Tuesday but has since deleted his tweet amid a massive backlash. “This is actually so gross and I don’t know why Jamaica is always everybody’s punchline. Wishing the worst for everyone involved especially you Peter Andre,” one critic fumed.
