Thomas Skinner, the star of Strictly Come Dancing, admitted to cheating on his wife shortly after their 2022 wedding and in a new motivational post. He told fans to “never give up.”

Strictly Come Dancing’s Thomas Skinner told fans to ‘never give up’ in a new post on social media after admitting to cheating on his wife. The Apprentice star has been putting all his focus on rehearsals for the dance competition after he claimed his dalliance with Amy-Lucy O’Rourke, which took place weeks after his wedding to wife Sinead, was a “moment of madness”.

He had insisted it was something he regretted almost immediately and claimed it was a short fling, while O’Rourke hit back at him and claimed their relationship lasted three months. Amid the drama, Skinner took to his Instagram Stories to share an update on his Strictly rehearsals.

He also said, “Good morning, you lovely people! ” along with a photo of him grinning for the camera. I finished my workout in the gym and look forward to another day of dancing with my wonderful Strictly partner.

Remember to “Keep your resolve,” because you’ll look back and be happy you didn’t one day. Go ahead and destroy it!

You have ten times the strength of. you can ever imagine. Make a day of it today! Keep your face facing the sun, and you’ll see shadows behind you! Bosh”.

His ex-girlfriend claimed to have “receipts” to show she had a turbulent relationship with Skinner and thanked fans for “seeing through” his blatant lies.

She shared a message with her followers on Instagram. She continued, “I just wanted to come on and thank everyone who has sent me really nice messages.

The majority of people can see through his lies, but I’ve had a few trolls, so it’s obvious that they’re not important.

And O’Rourke claimed that the main reason she and her partner are in this relationship is to reveal how poorly treated she is overall. No-one is aware of the full story; the story is so extensive that it is insane.

“I had to provide receipts for text messages, phone calls, voice notes, and CCTV,” I said. I’ve been receiving messages that read, “I can’t believe you’ve done this to me, I’ve proven it.”

She continued, “It’s about speaking my truth and not about what Thomas put me through.”

I had a fling, Skinner previously claimed of his infidelity. That is all there is. It was a mistake at the first opportunity. I had such terrible feelings when I woke up. I felt disgraceful. I informed my wife. In that brief moment of madness, I let her down because I didn’t think much of it.

Kate Middleton: Claudia Winkleman taking style notes?

Our Princess Kate has just stepped out for an official engagement in what might be her favorite outfit from 2025 so far, and we’ve been enjoying it more and more in recent weeks.

Her look today is a complete switch from the sparkle of last night’s state banquet, but the Princess of Wales and the US First Lady looked completely at ease in casual mode as they head outdoors with a group of Scouts at the Frogmore Cottage grounds. Kate invited Melania Trump on this final engagement before her guest meets back up with her husband, Donald Trump, later today. And while Melania is certainly giving Kate a run for her money in countrycore chic, Kate once again takes the crown for style.

In what seems to be a look inspired by Claudia Winkleman’s The Traitors wardrobe, Kate sports a khaki top with a silky scarf tied into a bow, a matching khaki cropped utility jacket and a gorgeous tweed maxi skirt with pleat detailing for volume.

Although many of Kate’s recent looks were created by famous designers, it’s lovely to see her wearing something from a popular retailer. The brand-new fall/winter 2025 collection includes Ralph Lauren’s Evilyn Birdseye Tweed Skirt. Unfortunately, it’s not Boden pricing (another shoppable brand she’s worn this week), but it’s an autumnal piece you’d want to keep forever and build your entire autumn/winter wardrobe around.

This skirt, which is made of Italian wool birdseye tweed, has front pleats, a waist tab, and a subdued textured finish. It can be used with ease because of the neutral tone, and because of the structured cut, the appearance stays professional.

We are modifying Kate’s current look, which features a plain top and scarf. A fun little detail is added by adding a bow around her neck, giving the impression of being a pussybow blouse. Although it’s believed that the scarf she’s wearing is from Sudbury Silk Mills, Toast’s Spotted Carapace Print Silk Bandana, costs $79, it can have a similar appearance.

James Middleton, Prince Kate’s younger brother, has always backed his royal sibling, keeping their relationship a secret. And now he’s talking about the state banquet from last night.

The Middleton family stays together, if there is one thing that is certain.

Princess Kate, 43, might be a key player in the Royal Family, with second-to-none star power, but it’s well known that she has always maintained her incredibly close relationship with her own family since marrying into the House of Windsor – including siblings Pippa and James.

While Kate was dressed to the nines for the state banquet thrown in honour of the visiting US President Trump and the First Lady Melania, her brother James was quick to comment when a photo of the future King and Queen was posted on their official social media page.

The captioned image of William and Kate dressed in white-tie, couture attire included emojis of the UK and US flags, “Ready for the state banquet.”

Her younger brother James responded to the glittery photo announcing President Trump’s state visit with a straightforward four-word statement of support.

James used the UK flag emoji to replace the word itself, and James wrote, “Proud to be British.”

With a chic and minimal silk crepe floor-length gown, Kate stole the show at the State Banquet with Phillipa Lepley’s champagne gold lace evening coat.

She paired the hand-embroidered piece with a pearl clutch clutch handbag and pair of gold Aquazurra pumps with a pointed toe and intricate rose and bloom designs throughout.

She chose her favorite Lover’s Knot tiara for the occasion, which is an unusual move for the Princess at such a high-profile event.

During the dinner, President Trump praised Kate, calling her “so radiant, so healthy, and so beautiful,” and apologizing for the event as “really a great honour, thank you.”

James Middleton, 38, has always held his older sister in high regard.

Under the title “Over the years, we have climbed many mountains together,” James wrote in a solo video message to the nation explaining how she had been diagnosed with cancer and was going through a period of recovery that would force her to take a step back from public life. We will climb this one with you, too, as a family.

In a later interview about her cancer diagnosis, James explained how difficult it was for the family and described it as “a challenging time.”

He explained to the Times that “being there for someone is such an important part, and it shouldn’t have to be done on your terms.” I’m not doing it for anything in return, that’s what they’ve got. I’m doing it because I’m in love with you.

And that’s how to truly show love in the simplest way. You can do it in a number of fancy ways, but you should know that it’s just about being there.

James, who was depressed, also faced some challenges in 2017. When the situation became clear and he was in need of assistance, Kate and Pippa made every effort to help their brother.

He asked his family to accompany him in therapy, even though he had suicidal thoughts, and they both agreed.

Some of my therapy sessions were attended by my sisters. They have always supported me during difficult times, and they have also been by my side when times are challenging. “James wrote in an essay about the dark period of his life for which I am forever grateful.

As they perform on the Oasis Live ’25 tour, Anastasia Gallagher has been traveling the world with her dad Noel and uncle Liam. One thing is getting on her nerves.

The one aspect of the Oasis tour that Anas Gallagher, Noel’s daughter, finds “boring,” she has revealed. It’s not the music that Anas’ is putting down, despite her father and uncle’s global tour. She discussed “life on the Oasis tour” with podcasters Ally and G on their TikTok account.

In a clip shared on the social media platform, she divulged which part of the Live ’25 tour – Oasis’ first shows in 16 years – she finds tedious. While fans of Noel and Liam Gallagher may be clamouring for tickets to the remaining gigs, Anaïs admits that touring isn’t all fun and games.

Anas has witnessed 12 of the band’s performances despite many devoted fans having missed out on tickets to their eagerly awaited shows.

Noel’s daughter’s attraction to the band is palpable, and she does not seem to have lost any of her excitement seeing them on tour, but she did make an ominous suggestion about some negative aspects of touring.

She admitted, “I never, ever, ever get bored of the shows.” I’m really getting bored with the socializing. Because my boyfriend is an actor and you can’t really go to the theater that many times, watching the show is great and gigs are good.

You can’t talk to someone and you can’t use a phone. It’s simple to chat with the person next to you, go get a drink, or use your phone at a concert. I think I might die if one more person approaches and asks how happy my grandmother is.

The response from envious supporters was swift, and they made it seem like Ana’s struggles on the tour were a fantasy in comparison to having no tickets.

One person expressed regret for you going through this, saying, “God, this sounds hard.” In these difficult times, we are all there for you.

Another person sarcastically said, “Oh, Ana, it’s a tough life.”

Fans may be envious that there were only 12 shows to see, but there are already a few remaining tickets available for Oasis’ comeback tour.

Paul McCartney, the Beatles’ Paul McCartney, and Jarvis Cocker, Pulp frontman, have all been seen at the recent Oasis performances.

The song’s recording was done on film, and it has been widely shared on the r/Oasis subreddit.

Since McCartney suggested having an album prepared for release early next year, eager supporters are holding out for a McCartney-Gallagher partnership.

At the largest Gaza fundraiser in the UK, Together for Palestine, notable people showed up on Wednesday at Wembley Arena to demand an end to the siege of Gaza. They raised £1.5 million, gave speeches, and gave performances.

Dozens of artists, actors, activists, musicians and journalists flooded the stage in Wembley on Wednesday 17 September, in a grand show of support for Palestine. The Together For Palestine concert saw notable figures come to support Palestinian-led organisations amidst the humanitarian crisis in Palestine.

A pre-recorded video featuring Grammy-winning actors Billie Eilish and Finneas, Oscar-winning actor Cillian Murphy, and award-winning actor Joaquin Phoenix, along with other celebrities, called for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza ahead of the concert.

Florence Pugh, Benedict Cumberbatch, Florence Pugh, and performances by PinkPantheress and Bastille, as well as Palestinian artists Saint Levant and Elyanna, all actively showing their support for Palestine, were among the 69 celebrities who showed up at the arena.

The event raised a staggering £1.5 million which was announced by actress and activist Jameela Jamil at 10pm. Ticket sales alone raised an estimated £500,000. The performance that drew the loudest ovation was when Swedish singer-songwriter and rapper, Neneh Cherry joined London artist, Greentea Peng to perform her Grammy-nominated hit, Seven Seconds.

Nicola Coughlan claims that Palestinian artists have said “nothing” about Palestine.

Nicola Coughlan has long shown support and raised money for Palestine. Last year, she organised two fundraisers: her first one raised €70,000 (£60,000) and her second fundraiser, €1.7 million (£1.4 million). The proceeds went to Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, ActionAid UK, and Medical Aid For Palestine. Since then she has raised over €500,000 (£433,000) for Medical Aid for Palestine.

Coughlan has previously stated that she has a connection to Palestine because of the occupation of her own country.

There are many artists I love, and I know you love, who have hundreds of millions of followers, and they are not saying anything, Coughlan so obediently said at the concert.

Florence Pugh presses the government to make changes.

Florence Pugh, was one of the 400+ public figures who signed the open letter from Choose Love in July 2025 to the UK’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer to end the atrocities in Gaza.

Florence praised the number of attendees at the Together For Palestine event and resolutely reaffirmed that silence in the face of such suffering is not neutral. It is “complicity” in this.

She thanked the audience and came to the conclusion that “pressure must be applied to the governments””.

Who cares about my career, asks the Bridgeton star? because she represents Palestine

He made the famous remark, “Netanyahu must go,” when he took to the stage at Together For Palestine.

He continued, citing President Trump as the only person who could stop this entire situation in a single day. He could put an end to all this craziness in a single day.
