There’s no finer time for a cocktail than summer. And now, Ruth Langsford has unveiled her go-to recipe that’s best enjoyed amidst sunny British weather.

“Hello and welcome to Ruth’s happy hour,” she said in an Instagram video earlier this week. “Now, I know a lot of people’s go-to summer drink is an Aperol Spritz. Mine is a Limoncello Spritz.

I’ll just put one together and demonstrate my skills to you. Ruth first popped a few ice cubes into some cocktail glasses before adding some Limoncello, which is a must-have beverage.

The 65-year-old star stopped when the glass appeared just under half-full, even though she didn’t exactly measure how much was being poured. You can do accurate measurements, Ruth said, but you know.

“I just look at the eye.” Isn’t that a pretty bottle of Limoncello, good old slug? This is a really fresh lemony [drink] that I love Prosecco on its own. “

Ruth poured some Prosecco into each glass as she reached out to open it. She then added a little Soda from Schweppes to this, but only slightly.

She continued, “Okay, so we’re going to start with Prosecco.” Schweppes, then, because I believe it to be the nicest, fizziest. if I had the ability to reverse it. Avoid dilution altogether; not too much.

This is also my little hack, then. I freeze all of my lemon slices, freeze them, pack them in a little box, and then I finish them all. Then they become a lemon-ice cube. I perform a few of those; Ruth is the only one giving them.

“Fresh mint – and there you go. Limoncello Spritz. Cheers, everyone.” Ruth’s summer cocktail was quickly showered with countless comments on Instagram, with many fans eager to try the recipe for themselves.

One person wrote, “I love Limoncello Ruth, I must try this cheers.” Another person continued, “Definitely going to try, all supplies are purchased,” as another person continued, “That looks delicious. “

Phil Collins’ hospital dash and hospice rumours – what we know about his health

Fans left frightened of the worst, but what do we actually know about Phil Collins’ health? The musician’s hospital run has sparked a flurry of rumors about his health.

Speculation that Phil Collins was in hospice care has been dispelled following a hospital visit for the renowned drummer who has not been the only music legend of his generation to be struck down by illness.

A spokesperson for the Genesis legend clarified that Collins is actually in hospital undergoing knee surgery, and is not on his deathbed.

The rampant rumour that Collins was in hospice care sent shockwaves through his fanbase just days ago, causing distress among admirers already mourning the loss of other cherished stars like Ozzy Osbourne earlier this week.

Collins acknowledged earlier this year that his health was deteriorating. He expressed a “very sick” attitude in a conversation with MOJO that led to his waning interest in producing new music.

condition.

He remarked, “I keep thinking I should go downstairs to the studio and see what happens. But I’m not hungry for it anymore. The thing is, I’ve been sick. I mean very sick.”, reports the Mirror US.

The Grammy-winning artist admitted that “it’s still kind of sinking in a little bit.” “I’ve played drums my entire life,” I say. It shocks me to suddenly not be able to do that.

Collins, who started playing drums when he was just five years old, said his lifelong commitment has “taken its toll on my hands, legs.”

He said, “If I can’t do what I did as well as I did, I’d rather relax and do nothing,”

“I’ll have a crack at it if I wake up one day and can hold a pair of drumsticks.” But I just feel like my air miles have been squandered.

The singer’s last concert with Genesis took place in 2022 because of his persistent mobility issues following a spinal injury in 2007 that caused significant nerve damage.

His son Nic, who is also a musician with Genesis, joined his son Mike Rutherford and Tony Banks on the drums at London’s 02 Arena.

The singer, who is seated comfortably in a chair, joked that because of his ongoing health issues, he might need to “find a real job” to finish the show.

Collins has experienced a number of health issues over the years, despite not revealing his current health status during the closing performance.

He mentioned how his physical health was deteriorating in the documentary Phil Collins: Drummer First from 2024. The British rock band’s legendary drummer, The Star, is renowned for his exceptional vocal prowess and powerful drumming.

Younger viewers’ affections are particularly strong for his contributions to the “Tarzan” movie, particularly his Oscar-winning song You’ll Be In My Heart.

Gregg Wallace admits TV career is over after MasterChef sacking as he fears for future

Following his dismissal from the corporation, Greg Wallace has admitted he will never interact with the BBC again and won’t watch any of MasterChef’s subsequent seasons.

Gregg Wallace has come to terms with his career ending after being fired from the BBC over unfavorable claims. From 2005 until his suspension last year, he served as a judge on BBC’s MasterChef, the celebrity version of the show.

The BBC confirmed they had “no plans to work with him in future” and upheld 45 of the 83 allegations made between 2005 and 2024 this month. After the BBC investigation was concluded, the 60-year-old father-of-three admitted that his TV career was over before his BBC contracts. He previously insisted, “I’m not a groper, a sex pest, or a flasher.”

The final season of MasterChef, which was shot with Wallace and his co-host John Torode before accusations started to surface against him, will now be broadcast on the BBC. After a search revealed that Torode had previously used racist language, he was also fired from MasterChef.

Wallace has supported his former co-star and defended him from allegations that his MasterChef contract expired. He has since come to terms with his desire to never work on screen again. Given that he has a young family, he also expressed his concerns about his financial security.

Wallace told The Sun, “I’m hurt. I’m not interested in anything on television. I’m not interested in working for the BBC. He continued to make claims that he had experienced sexual harassment and had never considered inappropriate behavior.

He stated to the publication that “the entire complaints procedure needs to be addressed.” “As things stand, there are a lot of issues with it.”

“It was fantastic, but I also had a lot of bad experiences on that show.” I would have had the politeness to speak directly to the complainer if I had wanted to raise any concerns. Not in the public, but privately.

He continued to list a number of alleged incidents, including allegations that women on MasterChef made inappropriate comments about him and that he was groped by women when they asked him for selfies.

Wallace, who was accused of exposing himself while he was on MasterChef’s set, has argued that he was embarrassed to reveal his torso and that he would change into his clothes in front of others. He has also acknowledged that much of the criticism he received was attributed to his inappropriate or sexualized remarks, which he has blamed on his upbringing.

He said to The Sun on Friday, “I have learned a lot about myself over the past eight months or so… I am so sorry for anyone who has hurt me now that I am aware.

He continued, “I don’t expect anyone to feel any sympathy for me, but I don’t believe I’m a wrong’un.”

After the BBC finished their investigation, Wallace earlier this month stated that he was “deeply sorry” for any distress he may have caused as a result of his past behavior. He insisted in a statement to the PA that he had never intended to hurt or humiliate “anyone.”

An independent law firm was hired to conduct the investigation into the allegations made against Wallace by MasterChef’s production company, Banijay.

The government responded to the incident by saying, “We’re clear that appropriate steps must be taken to ensure abuses of power are prevented from occurring in the future,” according to the official spokesman for the prime minister.

Danny Dyer shares the secret to his success after nabbing new role from Gary Oldman

Danny Dyer has explained how he got a new film role that was meant for Gary Oldman. He is back on TV screens this month with Sky’s hilarious comedy Mr. Bigstuff.

Danny Dyer has given his top advice for finding work: being less expensive than the other actors who are competing for his roles. The 48-year-old star has had a distinguished career since the early 1990s.

The actor’s big break came when an agent secured him a role in the beloved ITV series Prime Suspect, which featured Oscar-winning actress Dame Helen Mirren. He has appeared on other top-notch TV programs like EastEnders and Hotel Babylon.

Danny plays a football agent named Jimmy Banks in the Irish film Three Quick Breaths, which he is currently starring in in an effort to close a deal for a significant client. Although Gary Oldman was initially wanted to play the lead role, the film’s creators, Peter Howlett and Brendan Muldowney, are responsible for producing the project.

Now Danny has joked that he was hired instead because his fee is more budget friendly. Giving an eyebrow raising insight into the world of Hollywood, Danny hinted that the Oscar winner wanted a huge amount of money before he even started working.

He claimed to the Radio Times, “I believe they first addressed Gary Oldman.” He claimed he only wanted $2 million to read it. However, I placed next, which I’m pleased with.

Then he quipped, “I’m next, Gary Oldman, because I’m obviously less expensive.” I’m happy to be Gary Oldman’s less expensive version.

Danny continued to claim that working on the project almost “forced him crazy” because the filming process took place in Ireland earlier this year.

The London actor grew his fanbase when he appeared in EastEnders as Mick Carter from 2013 until 2022. The character was written off in tense Christmas scenes as he disappeared into the Channel following a dramatic car accident.

Laila Morse, who has played Mo’Big Mo’ Harris since 2000, is also a part of the popular soap. Gary Oldman, 67, is Gary Oldman’s older sister, the 79-year-old actress.

Laila has previously mentioned that her brother, who made her debut as a director in 1997’s Nil By Mouth, made an open admission to the fact that she was a child when he cast her in his film debut.

Danny plays a character in the Sky Comedy series Mr. Bigstuff in season two, where he is currently playing the role of the abandoned father. In a hilarious scene, the TV star strips naked and runs down a street in the first episode of the new season.

When Danny and The Sun spoke about the nude scene, Danny said, “Ever run through a council estate naked?” Literally speaking, it’s a whole new ball game. You may well be aware that I was focusing more on the weather than anything else that the weather was not too cold!

It was “in broad daylight.” I had a little sock over my Hampton, so I didn’t go completely [nude].

You read this, and you say, “OK, I’ve got to physically do it,” he continued. However, it’s a crucial scene because it’s significant to the show. You go, ‘ He’s back’. It depicts the alpha is returning in this manner.

Tom Cruise has been spotted lapping it up at Oasis’ show at Wembley Stadium as he managed to bag not one, but 20 tickets. The Hollywood A-Lister headed on down the stadium on Friday night for Liam and Noel Gallagher’s first show in the capital as part of their reunion tour.

He was spotted rocking out in the crowd as he was surrounded by other celebrities, including Goldie. The music producer and DJ posed for a selfie with Tom while Oasis took to the stage to perform some of their greatest hits to the 90,000 strong crowd.

Tom flashed a thumbs up to the camera as he kept a low profile in the standing section of the venue. The Mirror revealed Tom would be in attendance at the show, having been spotted belting out Oasis while at Glastonbury last year.

Millions of fans tried unsuccessfully to purchase tickets for the awaited Oasis reunion, while others had a four-ticket per person cap. However, Tom, a famous actor in Hollywood, managed to secure 20 tickets for himself and his pals.

Tom Cruise is familiar with seeing some spectacular things in Hollywood and on movie sets, but he was very interested in seeing the new Oasis show firsthand. The atmosphere will be electric despite the absence of any stunts.

Tom and his friends were delighted that he was able to give them tickets to the concert. Even the richest and most powerful people struggle to secure them.

He is traveling with up to 20 people, and he must be one of the few to be able to join such a sizable crowd.

A fantastic movie script would also be a good one to include the reunion of Liam and Noel after almost two decades. Tom might be able to talk to the boys about an Oasis movie if given the chance. Following the success of this tour, it would undoubtedly be a box office hit.

Liam and Noel Gallagher made their return to Wembley Stadium together last night for the first of their five dates in the capital. During Friday night’s show, Oasis paid tribute to rock icon Ozzy Osbourne following his death this week.

The Black Sabbath star, 76, passed away on Tuesday, his family confirming the sad news. During the opening performance at Wembley, Oasis gave his life to him in the song “Live Forever,” which received cheers and applause from the audience.

At the end of the song, Liam said, “That one was dedicated to Ozzy Osbourne, a Rock N Roll star,” and a black and white photo of Ozzy appeared during the track. Then he entered Rock N Roll.

The band previously dedicated Live Forever to Liverpool’s Diogo Jota at their Cardiff shows when the tour kicked off. In the final moments of the song, the giant screens on stage projected the number 20 on the Liverpool player’s shirt, raising emotions and drawing cheers and applause among the onlooking fans in the stadium.

The lyrics to the song “You and I are gonna live forever” from the Oasis anthem Live Forever include the emotional line “We see things they’ll never see.”

Fans have been charged the most for drinks on the tour so far, with a pint costing £8.30. It costs 10p more than the Cardiff shows’ pints, which cost $6.50, and are much higher.
