Actress Denise Welch has reflected on a major change in her life that she’s described as her “best decision” on the anniversary this week. She’s recalled her partner Lincoln Townley having influenced the decision over a decade ago.

Denise, now 66, has previously spoken about once having a “disastrous relationship” with alcohol. Over the years, she has raised awareness around addiction and spoken about her sobriety, having revealed that her last alcoholic drink was in 2012. This week, she’s celebrating the anniversary of her decision to give up alcohol after being “terrified” of the alternative.

The Loose Women panelist reflected on the decision she made 13 years ago in a post on Instagram this afternoon. It included two photos of Denise that she had put side-by-side. The first was a throwback photo of the Celebrity Big Brother winner, whilst the other showed her more recently.

Denise recalls in the caption that she gave up drinking after her 52-year-old husband Lincoln told her that he “couldn’t live” the way they were. In the post, she claimed that she was then worried about losing him.

She added, “13 years ago today, I had my last alcoholic drink,” along with the photos. I had no memory of the previous night when I woke up, as frequently happens. I was contemplating a lengthy car trip to Richmond and two shows while the company was touring a large theater.

Then, according to Denise, I looked around and discovered that my then-boyfriend, my husband, was watching me and had thrown a newspaper on the bed. I was it. Papped . shouting and pointing at someone while leaning over the car’s bonnet. No recall. A lamp was lying on the floor after his flat’s bathroom door had been pulled from its hinges.

Lincoln had already stopped drinking two months prior. I had explained to him that I wasn’t having the same issue. I did . a very large one. He claimed he could not live like this, but that he loved me. I was afraid to lose him. I felt shamed, anxious, scared, embarrassed, and ashamed of my actions.

That night, I stopped drinking. The best choice I’ve ever made is this. Our three children can live their lives knowing that we are safe and content because of our amazing marriage to the love of my life. They don’t live in the unknown about where we will end up.

She continued, “My husband has become a wealthy international artist, and I’m still working on stage and television.” I take great pride in how our families are affected by the effects. Every day, I treasure the look of love and respect from those who care about us.

It’s time to stop drinking alcohol if it makes you and your loved ones unhappy. There is available assistance and support. Although I still experience clinical depression, my recovery is quicker because they are not caused by alcohol or drugs. I abused alcohol for a long time before self-medicating my illness. I’m grateful for the respect I’ve gained since I last slept sober every day.

My children are proud of me, and that’s the greatest gift of all, Denise wrote as she closed the post. Thank you to @lincolntownley for supporting me every step of the way.

Katie Price says ‘it’s upsetting’ as Harvey returns to college in emotional admission

After spending a short time with his family home, Kate Price took to social media to vent her struggles to get Harvey, son of Harvey, back to his college room.

Harvey’s mother, Katie Price, and she took him back to college in videos, Katie Price shared.

Katie Price has shared her sadness at needing to take eldest son Harvey book to college. The former glamour model, 46, revealed the 22-year-old didn’t want to leave her side.

Harvey, has a rare genetic condition called Prader-Willi syndrome, which means he’s constantly hungry and battling life-threatening obesity. He also has autism and is partially blind.

Harvey has been living independently at the specialist further education institute National Star College for a number of years, visiting his mum and siblings on occasion. The accommodation is three hours away from Katie’s former Mucky Mansion home in West Sussex.

Katie has admitted he wanted to stay put after his most recent outing back at his family home. The mother-of-five shared stories on Snapchat both before and after dropping Harvey back at the school.

She depicted her son’s resentment toward leaving her. Harvey was seated in Katie’s car in the first upload.

She wrote, “Harvard always finds it difficult to go back to college,” as the caption reads. She is reportedly quoted as saying, “Harvey’s upset, aren’t you Harv?” in the video. It’s okay”.

Harvey mumbled “yes,” before staring out the window as the camera captured his miserable expression. Katie explained in another clip how it was “very difficult” to re-enter the college with her son.

She continued, “That was really upsetting. Now that was very challenging. Simply put, Harvey was against returning to school.

And she admitted to saying, “I’m surprised I still have a car left, indicating how much Harvey was going to go for the car.” She continued, “It is so sad that your son just wants to be with you constantly and doesn’t want to go to college.”

“I can’t wait for him to return to our home because of that,” he said. “The place we have reserved for him is not yet ready, perhaps in May.” Yes, it is heartbreaking.

Katie often shares her loving bond with her son on social media. Katie took to Facebook earlier this month to share a video of her and Harvey singing. Katie had her black her pulled back out of our face as her son lay contently on her chest.

As they declared their love for one another, the duo sang a sweet song to one another. They each sung the tune’s lines at a different time.

The adorable upload was then finished by Katie kissing Harvey on the forehead. Then he said, “Love you, mom.

Fans were quick to express their admiration for the video in the upload’s comments section. Harvey and you are a wonderful mother, and he is aware of this when one user wrote, “Cutest thing ever,” while another added, “Wrote it. Beautiful . “

Sex Pistols star’s shock meningitis coma ‘helped’ him in wife’s Alzheimer’s battle

Johnny Rotten, a punk rock star, has revealed he wants to date Taylor Swift despite the Swift fans’ harsh criticism of the “incredibly dull” singer.

Sex Pistols legend Johnny Rotten – famed for albums like Never Mind the B******* – wants to duet with squeaky clean billionaire singer Taylor Swift.

His surprising revelation comes just months after he triggered a social media backlash from Swifties after calling Taylor “incredibly dull”. According to Rotten, the lead singer of Public Image Ltd. (PiL), who is now known as John Lydon, she is “one of those people that ends up in Vegas.”

In a ‘swift’ reverse ferret, 69-year-old Lydon now tells The Mirror : “Those that do that (kind of music) like Taylor, they do it very well. There was a period in music about 10 years ago when they were really out to kind of get her. I just thought all the boyfriends she dissed (on her songs), she deserves a go at me. Imagine that duet?

I once performed a Kate Bush duet; I adore Heathcliff. She wanted to do a song with me, and I wrote a song called Bird in Hand. Canoe trips to the Amazon, saving parrots, and releasing them in Florida were the goals. She said, “I can’t sing that,” and she was right. F*ck off. ‘ Although it wasn’t exactly what she meant, it did.

John, who as well as insulting Taylor Swift in February had a dig at Lady Gaga, saying about her: “I don’t feel any soul,” rose to fame as one of the main agitators in the Punk Rock movement of the 1970s and 1980s.

Famously banned from the BBC when The Sex Pistols dissed the Queen with their single God Save The Queen, with lyrics like “she ain’t no human being,” he has made more surprising revelations about his musical mentors.

He says:” The band who influenced me the most were Slade. The New York Dolls and Patti Smith? No, don’t bother with your beard and moustache. But Slade and The Ballroom Blitz, Elton John with Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting. Is that bad, Watford fans, is that not?

The Rolling Stones are also my favorites. Yes, I have slagged off the Stones in the past. Not, why? We are all envious of Mick Jagger’s sputtering rubber lips, don’t we? But songs like Street Fighting Man and Sympathy for the Devil – you can’t knock them. More than enough cattle can be produced if someone releases one excellent song. How do I approach music in that manner. I copy none of it. I’m not required to.

Fans will be able to get more of John, his music and, most likely, his controversial views, when Public Image Ltd kick off their 40 date tour – titled This Is Not The Last Tour – in Bristol on May 22. Before traveling to Europe, they will be playing shows all over the country.

Following the tragic passing of his wife, German publishing heiress Nora Forster, who passed away in April 2023 after a five-year battle with Alzheimer’s, John is making a comeback.

Up until her death, John – who was married to Nora for 44 years – acted as her carer at the couple’s home in Malibu, California. Before The Sex Pistols made a big-money move, they first met at Vivienne Westwood’s punk label Sex in 1975.

And John says his own battle with meningitis, aged seven, when he spent several months in a coma and did not recognise his parents once he regained consciousness, helped him to care for her.

When she got Alzheimer’s, John says, “I remember her because I had meningitis and she had meningitis.” You were unable to fully connect everything. At the time, the hospital told my mum and dad not to mollycoddle me, and things would come back. I found myself in my own way, despite the fact that it initially seemed cruel. They could have given me the best gift, in my opinion.

” That memory loss, when Nora was going through that with Alzheimer’s, I could look back on that and think ‘ Wow, that served a purpose. ‘ Don’t squander life experiences because they might come back and be useful. Nora got it, and that helped no end when they had to deal with her, like not asking her any questions. It would snap in her head and the memory would come back in her head on its own.

I had meningitis and that sense of accomplishment. Your memories did indeed return with meningitis, but those of poor Nora would fade and deteriorate as they did.

John’s recovery from his employment with PiL has helped him deal with Nora’s passing, which was followed by John “Rambo” Stevens, his manager and best friend, who passed away suddenly in December of this year, at the age of just 66.

The double tragedy rocked his world, but John says having a sense of humour helps him when it comes to remembering his late wife.

He says: “The favourite thing I bought for Nora? I ended up getting her one of those Japanese toilets that flushed nice hot water like a bidet, which was incredibly challenging.

She exuberantly laughed every time, which thrilled her to no end. I was very pleased with that purchase, but then Nora died and I have spent the last year sitting on this toilet and the hot water flush has give me haemorrhoids! The entire thing won’t stop.

“I just thought I would share that with you. She also used to wear a Donald Trump hat. She never lost her marbles. That was when she was starting to get ill, and I wrote Trump on a Union Jack hat for her.”

John paid tribute to Nora by writing a song in her honor called Hawaii after her passing.

The song was submitted as one of Ireland’s 2024 Eurovision Song Contest contenders, but it was unsuccessful.

John remembers: “Yes, we did the song, and that was Rambo, my manager’s idea. I had no intention of doing it.

I broke down that night because it was difficult to write the song, but I had to travel to Dublin to perform it live on The Late Late Show.

“I just cried my way through it as I am human. You know, I’m not sure if I’ll ever play that song again. Too painful is it. You put a full stop on it, and you move forward”.

Instead, he attempts to make Nora famous in a painting while admitting that it is still in progress, saying, “I have painted a picture of us both.” Although I don’t believe I will ever finish it, I am not in a rush. I may be Johnny Rotten to some people, but I am really John Lydon, a much more loving guy”.

Following his former Pistols bandmates’ recent decision to reform without him, John’s new PIL tour comes to mind.

The Pistols have hired Gallows and the Rattesnakes vocalist Frank Carter to replace John, despite John contributing to the band’s anarchist anthems, God Save the Queen and Pretty Vacant.

And The Pistols have played a string of dates across the UK, as well as the Royal Albert Hall in London, in support of the Teenage Cancer Trust.

Back in 2021, John accused the surviving Pistols of collaborating on Danny Boyle’s Netflix biopic drama series Pistol without him.

John lost his fight to stop the Pistols’ music from being used in the 2022 TV drama, but the dispute reached the High Court.

In true Rotten style, John has more recently branded the Pistols reunion as “karaoke”.

When he discusses his life since he no longer calls himself Johnny Rotten, he says, “I have ended up with citizenship in Ireland, England, and America.

It’s fantastic, I think. What it means is that I don’t get searched when I come back to Blighty, which used to happen a lot.

They used to say, “Oh, it’s Johnny Rotten, yeah, let’s do a full search for him.” That used to occur frequently, didn’t it?

” How much Brussels sprouts and baked beans can you eat before a flight? They would find it less enjoyable, in addition.

“But I enjoy being an American. I love America, apart from the students who don’t study. My British passport just arrived, I believe. It was out of date, shame on me!

” I have to say getting it was hilarious. Johnny Rotten needed a sponsor to demonstrate that he was English, and I needed a sponsor too! I’m grateful for the support of my Indian accountant.

“But should I belong anywhere? Anyone interested in me anyway?

The audience has been left with me because the two people I loved left me. I call it family values. “

Danny Dyer and daughter Dani surprise locals as they film new caravan park show

The Dyers’ Caravan Park, a new series starring Dani Dyer and his daughter, Dani, was spotted filming in the rundown holiday spot.

Danny Dyer and his daughter Dani surprise locals when they film a new caravan park show.

Danny Dyer and daughter Dani were recently spotted filming for their new TV show, The Dyers’ Caravan Park, which will follow their investment in a rundown holiday site. The father-daughter duo work to breathe new life into the caravan industry after investing their time and money into it.

Dani was seen arriving on the set wearing a fluffy coat, a Louis Vuitton handbag, and baggy black pants in recent photos. Before the show’s filming began, she quickly changed into new clothes. Despite this, Danny wore a beige jacket, a matching sweater, and navy pants. As they prepared for filming, they were spotted circling the crew.

Despite investing in it, locals have argued that the duo has hardly ever been on-site. The locals claim that they only spent three days there this year.

The father-daughter duo was filming earlier this week, but some TV sources claim they won’t be visiting the site altogether for about 15 times.

The Mirror have reached out to Danny and Dani’s representatives and Sky for comment.

Danny previously mentioned the new series, revealing, “I love a caravan, and I love a caravan site. I’m now in charge of one, with my daughter Dani by my side and the voice of reason.

I’m making an effort to make the most memorable British holidays once more cool with a few quid. This might turn out to be a success or a complete failure. However, the only way to find out is to roll the “f***ing dice,”

Dani said, “I love a caravan, so why not? My dad wants to get involved in the caravan park, and I’m all in.” Has my dad what it takes to succeed in this given that he is a very welcoming person and can bring everyone in?

“I believe he has,” he said, “as long as people stay away from Magaluf.”

Danny has had a busy few years as he’s been filming for Marching Powder, Christmas Karma, Tinsel Town and Three Quick Breaths.

He played Freddie Jones in the hit TV series Rivals and Mr. Bigstuff in his main role in 2024. Danny and his daughter, who co-starred in Absolutely Dyer: Danny &amp, Dani do Italy in 2023, have experience filming together.

‘Katy Perry launched herself into a PR black hole – her space stunt backfired’

As fans question the stunt’s environmental impact and how legitimate the journey was, a PR expert has given her opinion on Katy Perry’s 11-minute spacewalk.

Katy Perry has never been one to avoid a spectacle. She has built her career off of being bold, bright, and unapologetically out-there, dressing in candy-colored outfits and performing on cartoon stage shows.

But this week, Katy took “out of this world” literally – with a headline-grabbing trip to space. Only, the response wasn’t as positive as she might’ve expected. Instead, the pop icon found herself in a media storm as fans questioned the legitimacy of her stunt.

The pop megastar, 40, was one of six women to fly in the Blue Origin NS-31 from Texas on Monday in a mission funded by Amazon billionaire Jeff Bezo’s space exploration company. The 11-minute journey has been criticised for its questionable environmental impact, and for the bizarre and dramatic antics of the crew, including Katy.

What should have been a powerful moment of female empowerment, in the opinion of PR and personal branding expert Mayah Riaz, has turned into what she refers to as “a PR black hole.”

Continue reading the article.

“Katy didn’t just shoot for the stars – she launched herself into a PR black hole,” Mayah tells the Mirror.

It appeared to be a slam dunk on paper. A woman in space inspires the next generation while pushing boundaries. However, it simply didn’t land for many.

“The big question is why she did it,” Mayah says. “In my opinion, this was a calculated brand move. Katy’s always been known for her eccentric image – she thrives on reinvention. A space flight fits with her whole ‘out of this world’ vibe.”

The gamble didn’t work out this time, though.

She got eye rolls, according to Mayah, rather than applause. Even some of the other celebs weren’t impressed. Everything has a tone and timing. Flying off in a billionaire’s rocket feels completely tone-deaf because of people’s financial difficulties and planet-related concerns.

And the attempt to incorporate a message promoting “femin empowerment”?

Mayah claims that “it felt forced.” You don’t buy empowerment with a space flight or a selfie in zero gravity, they say.

Katy also made her daughter known for the first time during the trip, adding an additional layer to the backlash, which ended up being overshadowed by the controversy.

According to Mayah, “that was a very personal reveal meant to humanize her.” Even that heartfelt moment felt out of sync or, worse, misjudged because of the incorrect backdrop.

Reports have since suggested Katy regrets introducing her daughter to the world. Mayah believes there is a way to recover, despite the possibility that the decision may have backfired.

That regret is “real and actually quite relatable.” Katie has the ability to completely revert to the overexposure and reshape those boundaries. That is wisdom, not weakness.

Mayah claims that Katy must remain calm in the wake of the criticism. She ought to address it. Fans want to know why she did it, what it meant, and, most importantly, how she is incorporating this feedback.

A sincere interview or open post on social media could be very helpful. Mayah claims Katy needs to follow up her empowerment message with action if she really wants to double down.

“Fund female STEM scholarships. collaborate with female aerospace engineers. That’s how you make the message meaningful.

Continue reading the article.

Mayah believes that this incident doesn’t need to change Katy’s character in spite of the criticism.

“Cancell culture is a topic that we frequently discuss. However, no one is fired for a single PR error. When they reject it, they are terminated. She can make this mistake a breakthrough if Katy is humble and genuine.

Russell Brand’s rotting 600-year-old abandoned pub – broken fences and taped up windows

As villagers complain about the “eyesore,” Russell Brand’s disused village pub, which he purchased for £850,000 in 2021, is abandoned and rotting.

Locals complain that the village pub, which Russell Brand purchased in 2021, has turned into an “eyesore” and is now overgrown and abandoned.

The Grade II-listed Crown Inn in Pishill, Oxfordshire, has fallen into a state of disrepair after being left to rot by the comedian turned conspiracy theorist, who is currently facing rape and sexual assault charges – which he denies.

The 600-year-old structure, which was first constructed in the 15th century as a coaching inn and served weary travelers with ale, food, and beds, is dotted around the grounds.

Its thatched roof and historical details have recently allowed it to host wedding receptions, but since Brand bought the plot in December 2021, it hasn’t yet opened its doors.

The building’s condition is in poor shape, with weeds occupying the pathways and tape holding some of the windows together.

A wooden shed appears to be erecting one side, some of its planks missing, while the log fires no longer burn.

The Crown was once Oxfordshire’s hottest nightclub, becoming the first place to serve drinks and music after midnight. Ringo Starr and George Harrison, as well as Dusty Springfield, were among the celebrities and fans who flocked to the venue.

Instead of loud revelers, the paint is now silence and decay, with crumbling brickwork and rusted iron railings stains the paint orange.

After avoiding meat and dairy since 2019, Brand, 49, and his wife Laura, who is the younger sister of TV presenter Kirsty Gallacher, originally intended to open the restaurant.

Locals, however, expressed outrage and one resident wrote: “We’ve heard he plans to turn the pub into a vegan restaurant.” Who would want that, anyway? He obviously had no intention of utilizing the pub as a bar. He doesn’t consume any alcohol. If you don’t like to drink, why buy a pub?

Tape can be seen inside the panes of glass holding the windows together

Brand also obtained planning permission to convert the pub to a recording studio and gathering place for his Rumble podcast and meet other alt-right commentators.

However, after receiving 53 objections from neighbors, South Oxfordshire District Council decided to reject the application.

The Campaign for Real Ale’s South Oxfordshire branch’s David Cooper, the pub preservation officer, claimed Brand’s suggestions were “ill-defined” and would “in no way” make up for the village’s final pub.

Jeremy Tweddle, a resident of Berrick Salome, added that he had “enjoyed numerous visits to the Crown.”

According to him, it appears that the current owners bought a public house, made no effort to maintain it, and now say they are no longer able to support it.

Some neighbors now worry Brand, who is currently residing in Florida and has established an alt-right media hub in Miami, may shut down the bar.

Any modifications to the property would need to be carefully planned, and it might be challenging to get a change of use.

The pub’s owner, Caroline Dempsey, told the Sun that Brand could wait until the building is completely destroyed before selling the land to developers and double his profit, according to Caroline Dempsey, who lives right next door to the Crown.

She said, “This may take years, while it all turns into a sad, neglected, overgrown eyesore in the interim.”

Brand will return to the UK on Friday, May 2, for his first hearing.

According to Brand, who claimed the incidents occurred between 1999 and 2005, when he was at the height of his fame, he has been charged with two counts of rape, indecent assault, and two counts of sexual assault relating to four women.

The initial hearing will take place at Westminster Magistrates’ Court.

The Metropolitan Police’s Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy stated, “The women who have made reports continue to receive support from specially trained officers.

The Met’s investigation is still ongoing, and detectives want anyone with information to contact police who may be affected by this case to come forward.

Brand completely refuted all of the allegations in a video posted on X. I’ve always told you guys that I was a fool when I was young and single, and before I had my wife and family, “he said.

I had sex, drug, and impure tendencies. But I’ve never committed rape. I’ve never engaged in non-consensual behavior; I’m hoping you can spot it by looking in my eyes.
