When she unintentionally posted a picture of a penis alongside a Mother’s Day tribute, Ruth Langsford was left red-faced as she recalled a comical incident.
Confessing her lack of tech-savviness, the TV presenter had good intentions when she shared a photo of herself and her family. She captioned it: “My wonderful Mum and big Sis. Thinking of those who no longer have their Mum’s….. you’ll always have memories x”.
She forgot to include a shocking amount of male nudity in her camera roll when she also uploaded the image as a screenshot. Oh my goodness, that’s what happened when she also took a screenshot. Even a shoe had one inside.
“Someone had sent me a cheeky photo of a man’s appendage in a shoe, but it wasn’t immediately noticeable. So I took a photo of me and my mum and didn’t realise that the photo gallery was below…” she explained on Loose Women a few years ago.
“You’re the front page!” said someone when I first entered. and I yelled “horrible”

She insists that Eamonn Holmes, her husband, did not own the shady photo, and that they have since parted ways.
She admitted she has since learned to double-check everything, saying, “Oh, it wasn’t Eamonn.”
“I’ve already checked everything a million times”! she stated.
She did acknowledge that Peen-gate and their son, Jack, had given her some street cred after the incident.
“Eamonn was concerned that people might assume it to be him,” he said. I expected my son to be embarrassed, but a very fashionable cool website called Ladbible is now available! she exclaimed.
In other news, Ruth spilt the beans on what the Strictly professionals are really like behind the scenes. She appeared on the BBC show in 2017 and was partnered with Anton Du Beke, when she saw the Strictly professionals in their natural habitat.
The presenter admitted that she had previously assumed that the celebrities and the pros would “separate,” but her experience was undoubtedly different.
Because it was not my world, I adored it. “, Ruth said. They are all changing and applying makeup, according to the director. I used to sit by the door where I had my makeup done, and I loved it because I could see everyone in and out in front of me and the incredible makeup that those teams applied to.

Everyone says, “I loved the crew and the team, and I know that because it sounds so cliché, but it’s absolutely true. And it’s a fantastic ensemble: the choreographers, the professional dancers, the hair, makeup, costume, everything, the set, the band, and I hope it continues to grow and grow and grow. Because the general public enjoys it, I’m certain it will. According to me, it only improves annually.

The fourth child is being welcomed by Kathy Ryan! The 41-year-old comedian was already a happy father to Violet, 15, Violet, 15, and Fred, the father of two, Fenna, who married Bobby Kootstra.
On her podcast in June, she revealed her pregnancy and provided occasional snippets to keep viewers informed. Although Katherine had made every effort to keep her baby news a secret, Violet, her daughter, gave a huge hint in a social media post.
The TV star’s husband, Bobby, has now made their daughter’s arrival official on social media. He declared, “Holland Juliette Kootstra has arrived.” Another MVP performance was delivered by the “Patrick Mahomes” of childbirth! Amazing to see @kathbum #blessed’s incredible accomplishments.
Holland was seen wearing a custom-knit babygro with her name on it when they shared their first photo of their daughter. While another image showed proud father Bobby escorting his newborn daughter to a waiting car,
After returning to the family home, pictures showed little Holland being watched by her older siblings, big sister Violet, sister Fenna, and brother Fred.
The sweet first image of their daughter (INSTAGRAM) was shared by Katherine’s husband Bobby (INSTAGRAM).
After giving birth, the comic was seen sipping on pricey champagne (INSTAGRAM).
Bobby revealed that the Canadian actress had sipped on Dom Pérignon champagne right in her hospital room after giving birth. The price of a bottle of the vintage bubbles is around £189. Katherine tucked into delicious food, including sushi from the Nobu restaurant, a renowned eatery, in her chic hospital room.
Katherine, a teen sharing reviews on Violet’s TikTok page, first gave the impression that she was pregnant when she made the announcement. Days later, she walked out and showed off her beautiful baby bump on the red carpet.
The couple split over whether their child would be a boy or a girl, and they decided against knowing the gender of their child. Katherine filmed herself in a mirror at home in July and said, “This has got to be a boy.”
After giving birth, Katherine ate food from celebrity restaurant Nobu (INSTAGRAM).
After she left for home, Violet didted on young Holland (INSTAGRAM).
She continued, “We don’t know,” precluding inquiries into whether they had discovered the gender of their third child together. On her Telling Everybody Everything podcast, Kathy and husband Bobby discussed their child.
She said, “The girls are mine, and the boys are yours,” she said. The best thing for the family would be a girl, Bobby continued. Bobby admitted she had kept her pregnancy a secret, and Kathy joked that the pregnancy “explained the 20lb weight gain.”
Katherine acknowledged earlier this year that she didn’t believe she had had enough time to have a fourth child. The former Gogglebox celebrity and husband Bobby discussed their chances of getting pregnant while visiting a fertility clinic.
(INSTAGRAM) Bobby proudly delivered his newborn daughter (INSTAGRAM).
Fenna, a spirited sister, was present to take care of her younger sibling (INSTAGRAM).
Due to having two children, three miscarriages, and juggling Bobby’s move to the UK from Canada, things haven’t always been simple for the couple. Katherine and Bobby first met when Katherine was 15 and started dating again when Katherine returned to Canada to film the BBC documentary Who Do You Think You Are? in 2018.
She told OK Magazine, “We’ve always gotten pregnant with the babies quite quickly,” about their fertility. The likelihood of having three miscarriages in five years increases as you age, even though you’ve had five of them already.
Katherine had three children already proudly her own (Instagram)
You must strike a balance between the risks you’re willing to take and what you can personally stand for. “Katherine has made it clear that she doesn’t want to use surrogacy,” she said.
She said, “I wouldn’t want that labor, both literal and in terms of the workload, to fall on another woman,” although it’s controversial to say. Surrogacy is wonderful, in my opinion. It’s beautiful for those who are desperate to offer it and for couples who need it, but for me, it’s exploitative.
Katherine had skin cancer diagnosis and underwent surgery just months before her pregnancy announcement. After noticing a mole was changing, she first noticed the symptoms.
She was 21 years old when she first learned of stage two melanoma. She demanded testing of her mole despite doctors’ claims that it wasn’t cancerous.

Brooklyn Peltz-Beckham avoided questions about his mother’s Netflix documentary on Friday (17 October) in a tense moment that saw the chef storm off.
Brooklyn is said to have been feuding with his family for months and has skipped important Beckham events such as his father David’s 50th birthday and the premiere of Victoria Beckham, a Netflix docuseries about his mother.
Brooklyn and his wife Nicola chose to skip the series premiere of Victoria’s earlier this month despite making a brief appearance in the show and turning out to support his father’s documentary, Beckham, in 2023.
Brooklyn slammed off at the Brooklyn Wine &, Food Festival on Friday when a reporter inquired about the documentary. The chef was hosting the Blue Moon Burger Bash 2.0.

Brooklyn had responded to the reporter’s inquiries about his culinary career while wearing a backwards black baseball cap and a grey zip-up hoodie.
The 26-year-old was then questioned about the program’s impact. When he learned his mother’s name, he immediately turned his back on the reporter. According to the MailOnline, he then marched back into the venue and slammed the crowd.
Brooklyn appeared to be the only Beckham fan to miss the Victoria Beckham play. However, Victoria honored him by including him in her ode to those who had contributed to the production.
She remarked, “Thank you, David, for persuading me and for putting me in such a difficult position. Brooklyn, Romeo, Cruz, Harper, and David are my children. Oh no, he’s not a child, either! This realization that I am sufficient took this long.
She continued, “This process really forced me to reflect on my journey, and it was emotional. After a year of intense therapy, I realized a lot. My brother and sister, as well as my parents and I, thank you. I love you and would like to thank the Spice Girls.
Not all of the Spice Girls showed up, despite Victoria’s gratitude. Melanie Brown MBE did not show up despite the invitations from Gerri Halliwell-Horner, Emma Bunton, and Melanie Chisholm. Scary Spice did, however, record her social media work commitments in the United States.

Despite this, neither woman has mentioned a reunion of the Spice Girls. Before the band’s 30th anniversary, Victoria gave the most recent hint. She stated on Sirius XM on a US radio station that doing a second show, especially if it were part of Sphere’s residency in Las Vegas, would be “tricky.”
It would be alluring, he said. But would you allow me to travel the world? No, I can’t. How talented would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere, in my opinion? The idea of it is so appealing. I mean, I’m never that great, and I’m not sure if I can even sing.
Lewis Cope, the actor who has been dating his actress girlfriend for eight years, talks about how she supports him and Katya Jones in secret in this exclusive conversation.
After being drafted into the Strictly Come Dancing ballroom as a replacement for DJ Kristian Nairn, former Emmerdale actor Lewis Cope has been showing off his moves with long-time pro Katya Jones. The 30-year-old achieved the highest score – 37 – in Week 3’s Movie Night, impressing even Craig Revel Horwood with his Paso doble performed to The Plaza of Execution from The Mask of Zorro.
The Hartlepool-born actor reveals how his actress girlfriend, Rachel Maya Lopez, has been making sure he’s fighting well for his strenuous rehearsals when he and Katya pose for an exclusive new photoshoot with Notebook. The couple started dating about eight years ago, but they don’t make regular red carpet appearances. Instead, they spend their free time exploring and traveling.

Lewis told OK! about how his other half felt about being drafted into Strictly at the eleventh hour. She continued, “Rachel is a super supporter, she’s making my dinners and sending me off with a packed lunch for my rehearsals,” adding, “She’s over the moon.”
“We managed to squeeze in a little holiday in Naxos, Greece, before the show and she booked us a studio over there, and she was getting me moving and doing Pilates and things!”
Rachel posted a video to her Instagram page on the night of the Strictly launch show, revealing that Lewis’s friends and family – including some of his 14 siblings – were joined by his dance partner Katya, 36, for the watch party.
Our Sweet Lew, we are right behind you, she wrote in the video. You are a very impressive person.
After posting some of the highest scores in Weeks 1 and 2 and topping the leaderboard in Week 3, Lewis and Katya are already being considered the favorites to win the series.
After appearing in Billy Elliot The Musical two decades ago, Lewis has however received criticism for having a dance background. Lewis said, “It’s strange to hear that I’m some sort of “professional dancer,” explaining why he believes the criticism is unfair and insults the profession. I’ve never danced professionally and it’s been so long since.
He continued, “When I was 11 years old, Billy Elliot The Musical was not for me, so I played Michael and did some tap dancing.” I then joined a hip-hop dance team in Hartlepool, where I performed hip-hop with a group of six other people and competed in amateur events. Then, I began acting school, and I haven’t appeared in any acting since.

I’ve been a dancer for 12 years for the first time. And now that I’m working with people who are pro dancers like Katya, I feel a little insult to those guys. They have sacrificed their lives for this, which is incredible.

Tess Daly, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, has revealed how she and husband Vernon Kay are trying to instill values in their daughters.
Recently returning to our screens alongside co-host Claudia Winkleman for another series of Strictly, Tess took time out from the glitz and glamour to chat with Giovanna Fletcher on her Happy mum Happy Baby podcast.
Tess stated during the heart-to-heart that finding your own way is one of the most important lessons we can teach them as parents. Find the source of happiness. Discover what makes you unique.
She continued, citing the value of perseverance and humility, and stated, “I wouldn’t dream of spoiling my children.” I don’t want brats who have been spoilt. I want kind, modest girls who are grateful and kind. My worst nightmare would be having entitled children, you know what I mean. It’s bad for you, not good for them, and bad for you.
Tess and Vernon’s love story began over two decades ago when they were challenged to choreograph their own dance routine to Britney Spears’ …Baby One More Time at a BBC Christmas party.
As the couple exchanged vows and soon welcomed Phoebe, their first child, together, in the years that followed, their relationship blossomed. Amber, one of their younger children, arrived in 2009.
Tess has been a constant presence on television for decades, aside from raising her two daughters with Vernon.
Although she initially started her career as a model, she is most recognised for her stint on Strictly Come Dancing, having co-hosted the BBC show since its inception in 2004 while she was expecting her first daughter.
She co-hosted the dance show for Sir Bruce Forsyth at the beginning, but after Sir Bruce made a decision to leave the program, Claudia Winkleman joined her.

She recently returned to the show as Strictly celebrates its 23rd season since it first aired in 2004.
Last weekend’s show saw Scottish presenter Ross King eliminated from the competition alongside professional dancer Jowita Przytal. Their time in the competition came to an end after they finished second best in the dance-off, as they went up against Balvinder Sopal and her partner Julian Caillon.
The young talents of EastEnders during the 1990s were the equivalent of bands, with posters of the adored soap stars adorning teenage bedroom walls across the country

Where are the 90s heartthrobs of EastEnders today?(Image: BBC)
Back in the nineties, the young stars of EastEnders were as adored as the boy and girl bands of the era. Take Michael Greco, once crowned the sexiest man on TV, or Paul Nicholls, who was practically a national object of desire.
But what have our favourite EastEnders actors and actresses been doing since they left the show all those years ago? From near-death experiences and battles with drug addiction to peculiar ‘feuds with local clowns’, here’s an update on your favourite stars…
Michael Greco (Beppe di Marco)
From 1998 to 2002, Michael Greco, with his designer goatee, had fans swooning as Italian restaurant worker Beppe. The star spent most of his time shirtless before being axed by executive producer John Yorke in 2002 as part of a revamp.
However, his life after EastEnders has taken an unusual turn. According to his Wikipedia page, he retreated to his hometown of Dunbar, Scotland, where he clashed with local clown Gladys Chucklebutty. The feud reportedly started at a children’s party when Gladys made unkind comments about the 5ft 9 actor’s height while he was trying to win his height in pizzas.
However, it’s highly probable that some crafty individual concocted that tale, given Michael hails from Sutton, south London, and now resides in Los Angeles after achieving considerable success as a professional poker player. Following his reputation as a fixture on London’s party circuit, apart from a fleeting stint in Casualty in 2017, he turned his back on fame and has maintained a largely private existence away from the cameras.
“I kind of gave up acting a while ago, a couple of years after I left EastEnders and just thought this celeb style isn’t really for me,” he told the Express in 2019, following his split from Hollyoaks star Stephanie Waring. “I just wanted to shun the limelight… I was very private and didn’t really do interviews, I wanted to keep myself… then I just lost my way. I just lost my love for the acting game, really.”
In recent years, however, it would appear that Michael has found his love for acting once more. He played Pothinus in the 2023 Netflix miniseries Cleopatra and Strabo Plinth in The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes.
In another update, his Wikipedia page mentions that he lovingly became a first-time father at the age of 51 with his girlfriend, Helen Harris.
Paul Nicholls (Joe Wicks)
Thanks to his children’s TV work, Paul was already a teen pin-up when he joined EastEnders in 1995 as schizophrenic Joe. The teenage heartthrob proved enormously popular, scooping TV’s sexiest actor accolade twice, and graced magazine covers including Smash Hits, Heat, Just Seventeen and Sugar.
He also enjoyed romantic flings with two of the soap’s leading ladies, Martine McCutcheon and Daniella Westbrook. However, the pressures of teen stardom became overwhelming, and he departed Albert Square after merely two years.
Subsequently, Paul candidly revealed his battles with depression while developing dependencies on alcohol and drugs. He reportedly avoided rehab, instead achieving sobriety independently by 2008 before securing roles in Holby City, Waterloo Road, Law and Order: UK and Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason.
However, in 2015, footage surfaced allegedly showing Paul smoking from a questionable implement. Previously, he held EastEnders responsible for his substance abuse struggles.
“People said I had too much too soon when I was playing Joe Wicks, and maybe they were right. I didn’t want to be a heartthrob, and I could not handle the attention,” he previously said. Paul added, “I was well on my way to a total breakdown. I was drinking a lot and taking drugs.
“I had lost control of my life. The more I partied, the more I was telling myself, ‘Wow, this is what acting is all about.'”.
In 2017, he faced a cancer scare when a benign throat tumour left him unable to speak for months, and later that year, he nearly died after spending three days trapped in a Thai rock pool with a shattered leg following a selfie attempt gone wrong.
Tragedy hit again when Paul suffered a stroke just a year later in 2018. After this, he experienced depression and became addicted to drugs in 2020, but later shared that he was seeking help and was glad to be in recovery.
However, he also reappeared on our screens from 2017 to 2018 as Steve Bell in Ackley Bridge, and more recently starred in Phoenix Rise as Carl Hopkins from 2023 to 2024.
Martine McCutcheon (Tiffany Mitchell)
When Martine arrived on the show in 1994, Tiffany’s character was initially meant to be a minor role. However, she swiftly won over countless admirers, and an incredible 22 million viewers watched her tragic demise on New Year’s Eve 1998.
Following years of torment at the hands of violent spouse Grant Mitchell, Tiffany was poised to escape and begin afresh in Spain with their daughter Courtney. Yet her scheme collapsed like a Greek tragedy when she arrived at the Queen Vic to fetch Courtney, only to discover Grant had been freed on bail.
In a shocking turn of events, he snatched Courtney and stormed out of the pub, leaving a distraught Tiffany in his wake. Suddenly, Frank Butcher’s car came speeding around the corner, hitting Tiff, who tragically died in the middle of the street.
A single tear rolled down her cheek as she took one last look at her daughter – it was a heart-wrenching scene. But this wasn’t how Martine had envisioned her exit.
When she decided to leave the show to pursue a music career, she didn’t anticipate being killed off. She accused the showrunners of spite, but they hit back, claiming she just wanted a ‘safety net’.
Her 1999 single ‘Perfect Moment’ topped the charts, followed by roles in Love Actually and My Fair Lady on London’s West End. However, things began to unravel when her health deteriorated due to a streptococcal infection, thrombosis in her leg and skull, and depression.
Martine was later diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome ME and Lyme’s disease, and suffered recurrent miscarriages because her immune system ‘was shot’. At her lowest point, she was declared bankrupt, confined to a wheelchair and told her husband Jack McManus to find someone else.
“You’re pushed to your limits too much. You feel like you’re really hungover, like you’ve been beaten up by Mike Tyson. I was getting lots of infections and my immune system was down,” she confessed on Loose Women in 2016.
“I did say to him at one point, ‘If you want to go on and meet someone else, go.” She added, “I don’t want you to lose out because of me.”
The couple welcomed their longed-for son, Rafferty, in 2015, but in 2024 announced their split. Her most recent TV stints saw her appear on Celebrity Gogglebox in 2020 and The Masked Singer UK in 2021.
Sean Maguire (Aidan Brosnan)
When Sean’s character Aiden first joined the programme in 1993, he appeared to have a bright future ahead as a trainee footballer for Walford Town FC. However, a string of injuries destroyed his sporting dreams, and a stormy relationship with troubled teenager Mandy Salter left him without a home and dependent on drugs.
Over 23 million viewers watched as he tragically attempted to take his own life on Christmas Day that year. Fortunately, Mandy managed to rescue him, but the following day, he departed for Ireland, leaving Albert Square behind forever.
Pursuing life beyond TV, Sean launched three albums, with his most successful single, ‘Good Day’, climbing to number 12 in May 1996. When his music career declined, he moved to Los Angeles, where he appeared in TV shows, Eve, The Class, CSI: NY and Once Upon A Time as Robin Hood.
He also went on to star in shows such as The Red Dress, The 100, The Magicians, Electric Easy, Action Royale and S.W.A.T. In his personal life, he married police detective Tanya Flynn in October 2012, and together they have three children, two boys and a girl.
In 2020, he and his wife became US citizens, and the family is thought to reside there today.
Lucy Speed (Natalie Evans)
Lucy’s character made her debut as an addition in 1994 when the soap initially expanded to three episodes weekly. Envious of her schoolmate, Bianca Jackson’s bond with Tiffany Mitchell, she began a fling with her man, Ricky Butcher and revealed the secret by shoving her knickers in his work clothes.
She departed just a year later in 1995 after being chased out by an enraged Bianca, but made a comeback in 1999 as a thriving entrepreneur running a matchmaking business. Through this venture, she encountered and fell for motor trader Barry Evans, having a son, Jack, together, before Natalie schemed to flee with Ricky – only to discover he’d been romping with Sam Mitchell.
Lucy eventually left the soap permanently after Janine Butcher killed Barry in 2004, believing her character had reached a dead end. She explained at the time: “I’d been back for five years and had very little to do the year before. I quite like being busy, and I could see the scriptwriters were struggling with Natalie and where to place her, so it seemed like the right time to go.
“It’s nice that they’ve left it open. I’d hate to think the door was shut behind me. Absolutely, I’d like to go back; never say never. Maybe I’ll track Janine down.”

After leaving Walford, she featured in the 1998 film Shakespeare in Love, Men Behaving Badly, Dangerfield, Holby City and Jericho before portraying the mum of a vanished lad in series two of Marcella. She’s also starred in After Life, Unforgotten, Casualty, Becoming Elizabeth and The Hack.
She wed model and actor Spencer Hayler in September 2009, and welcomed their daughter Kitty in 2012, followed by son Sullivan in 2018. Residing in Fulham, London, she maintains a close friendship with Charlie Brooks, who portrayed her on-screen adversary Janine.
