Britain’s Got Talent star Amanda Holden, 54, revealed she was wearing a swimsuit and sipping wine for a parents’ evening on Zoom for her child

Amanda Holden revealed she attended a parents’ evening on Zoom wearing a swimming costume while sipping on a glass of wine because of the hot weather. The 54-year-old Britain’s Got Talent star appeared on Good Morning Britain and revealed her child’s teacher said she was “jammy” as they were stuck at school.

“Well, instead of a bikini, I did cover up and wear a swimming costume, can I say,” she confessed. “But it was so hot, and I balanced the iPad here (at her neckline), so they had just this view. But every teacher was like, ‘Oh, you’re so jammy’, because they were all stuck in a stock cupboard somewhere.

“What I didn’t say is that I had a sneaky little rose under my deck chair as well to get through it.” During the conversation, she also discussed her thoughts on the ongoing BGT series.

She said she wanted a group such as the Post Office Choir, a group of people impacted by the Horizon scandal which saw hundreds of subpostmasters wrongly convicted of theft, fraud and false accounting, to win this year’s edition.

Amanda continued: “You know me, I’m not one for sitting on the fence, and I’ve always said that I would love our Britain’s Got Talent winner this year to be a group of people.

“Because it would be amazing for the money to be divvied out amongst all of them, and for the joy to be spread, and to be at the Royal Variety, I think for a choir or a large group of people, would be amazing.”

Amanda recently opened up about the biggest problem of being a mother and wife to her loving family. The star shares daughters Lexi, 19, and Hollie, 13, with her husband Chris Hughes.

The star recently saw her eldest child leave the nest to attend university – but she has been back recently amid a break in the semesters. And while Amanda says she loves to take care of her family and make them dinner each night, the range of culinary requirements can leave her working up a sweat in the kitchen.

Speaking about having to cook individual meals for her family, she said to Hello! magazine: “I try to cook a family meal every night.

“It’s been great recently, because Lexi’s been home from university, so we’ve been back to a family of four. And I’m obviously a vegetarian. Lexi’s practically vegan. Chris and Holly eat meat, so I cook, but I have to make like four different meals.”

She went on to admit she not been the best at teaching her daughters how to cook for themselves. She revealed: “They’re [Hollie and Lexi] getting into the swing of cooking.

“I’ve been a bit rubbish at teaching them how to cook, because I’ve always cooked, but they’re good preppers, and they tidy up after me.”

From flowing free bars to expensive goodie bags at the door, Cannes Film Festival has some very impressive invite-only parties for the A-list to let their hair down at.

With Cannes Film Festival in full swing, there’s plenty of parties outside of the official roster that the A-list have been flocking to each night.

And after heading to some on Wednesday night, we’re not surprised they’re a hit with the celebs, or that they are invite only.

TikTok, who are an official sponsor of the festival this year, kicked things off with a party at beachfront bar Copal Beach on Wednesday evening.

But not just anyone could get in, as the beach boulevard was filled with a stretched line of invited guests with TikTok QR codes to secure their place.

If you manage to make it inside the party, you’ll walk out with some impressive goodie bags worth £200. One bag given to guests contained a mountain of products from Fenty Beauty, Rihanna’s makeup and skincare brand. With the brand’s Gloss Bomb lip gloss, worth £19, Diamond Bomb highlighter, worth £38, Hella Thicc mascara, worth £20, Total Clean’R, worth £24, and Fenty Hair The Comeback Kid Damage Repair Treatment, worth £34.

You’re then handed another bag with Sol De Janeiro body mist, worth £24, and the brand’s famous Brazilian Bum Bum cream, worth £48.

But before getting the free gifts, you’re also supplied with free food and drink inside the event – with several bars offering out cocktails, wines, Prosecco and beers.

In the beach area of the event was a food area, where chefs were preparing fresh pasta, barbequed meats and more for party-goers to pick up. While waiters were also walking around offering mini burgers, tacos, dessert boards and more.

In true TiKTok fashion, there were plenty of influencers at this bash, meaning plenty of photo opportunities. From a TikTok bathtub in the corner to a ring-light set up in the centre, this place was filled with Instagram spots.

But TikTok weren’t the only brand hosting invite-only events for the Cannes Film Festival attendees, with the whole boulevard bustling with exclusive events.

A few doors down was the Nespresso beach, with the coffee brand taking over the area for the duration of the festival. While anyone can head down there for a latte and avocado toast in the day, many evenings are reserved for the A-list.

Lucia Beach has also teamed up with Konbini, one of France’s leading digital media platforms, and hosted a welcome bash on Wednesday evening – which featured a free bar of Minuty wine and the Video Club – a space tailored for Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok.

While the Carlton Beach Club has also been hosting stars such as Naomi Harris and Julia Garner, who all headed to an invite-only lunch there on Tuesday.

Brooklyn Beckham is said to have had a falling out with parents, David and Victoria Beckham, which caused him to miss his dad’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier in the month

Brooklyn Beckham has received online support from a family member after an apparent feud saw him miss his dad’s birthday celebrations. Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, failed to turn up to any of former footballer David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations earlier in the month, leading to intense speculation their was a family divide.

While David and Victoria have continued to stay silent on the allegations, it appears his nan Sandra is supporting her grandson.

Brooklyn previously took to Instagram to share a sweet snap of his nan hugging into him. Sandra is seen patting Brooklyn’s belly as his wife flanks him on his other side. Nicola was wearing a lemon low-cut dress for the occasion as they all smiled at the camera.

But it’s his latest post following his link-up with Air Bnb that had Sandra sharing support. Brooklyn took to his platform and wrote: “Big thanks to @airbnb for having me at their Summer Release. They’re rolling out some amazing new experiences and you can book mine on May 15th!

“We’ll be mixing cocktails, plating perfection, and experiencing the heat of my @cloud23 hot sauce.”

Brooklyn’s paternal grandmother Sandra shared a comment on the post of an emoji showing two raised hands emojis. There was also a heart emoji.

Picking up on the comment, another follower wrote: “I love that Brooklyn’s grandma always supports him. Everyone needs a grandma like Sandra.”

However, others pleaded with Brooklyn to end any family feud he may have with his parents. “Go and speak to your family!!!” one user penned. “Your Mum and Dad will always be there for you xxx.”

Another added: “You guys are cute, but more so next to David… it’s very sad.”

While they seems to be a rift between Brooklyn and his parents, reports suggest he sees his wife’s family as his sanctuary “where he can hide away”. Since reports of their rift, Brooklyn has reportedly found a “second mum” in the Peltz clan.

It’s said he feels he can “hide away” with “less pressure”. Sources have claimed Nicola’s mother Claudia, 70, and billionaire father Nelson, 82, have become a “sanctuary” to Brooklyn.

One insider told The Sun: “Claudia is like a second mother to him and, although they are billionaires, Nicola and her brothers had more of a ‘normal’ upbringing because they didn’t have the media intrusion, which Brooklyn has always found so hard.

“He sees them as a kind of sanctuary where he can hide away if he wants to, but that is almost impossible in the Beckham family, they always seem to be on show. There is less pressure on him in a way.”

Singer Chris Brown was reportedly arrested at a hotel in Manchester in the early hours of Thursday morning following an alleged bottle attack incident in London in 2023

Singer Chris Brown was reportedly arrested at a hotel in Manchester over an alleged bottle attack from 2023.

The singer is said to have been arrested in the early hours of Thursday morning regarding the incident at a London nightclub. The arrest happened at just after 2am at The Lowry Hotel in Manchester.

It’s said Brown was held on suspicion of causing grievous bodily harm to music producer Abe Diaw at trendy Tape nightclub in Mayfair, Central London, in February 2023. The alleged arrest came a day after Brown had flown into the UK.

It’s said the arrest took place after it was discovered the star was in the country. Met detectives are said to have travelled to Manchester where they arrested him.

While police forces didn’t name Brown, they issued a statement on the arrest. Greater Manchester Police issued a statement on the Lowry Hotel arrest, saying: “This morning (Thursday 15 May) we arrested a 36-year-old man at a hotel in Manchester on suspicion of grievous bodily harm on behalf of the Metropolitan Police.”

A Met spokesman also said: “A 36-year-old man was arrested at a hotel in Manchester shortly after 02:00hrs on Thursday, 15 May on suspicion of grievous bodily harm. He has been taken into custody where he remains.

“The arrest relates to an incident at a venue in Hanover Square on 19 February 2023. The investigation is being led by detectives from the Central West Area Basic Command Unit.’’

Mr Diaw claims Brown attacked him unprovoked while the star and his entourage were at a Dirty Martini club night held at the trendy Tape nightclub. He alleged the singer hit him over the head with a bottle and then punched and kicked him as he lay on the floor.

At the time following the alleged incident, Mr Diaw said: “He hit me over the head two or three times. My knee collapsed as well.”

Mr Diaw was taken to hospital and needed crutches to walk following his discharge. The alleged attack occurred while songwriter Brown was on a worldwide tour and playing in the UK.

Diaw launched a civil claim against Brown for $16 million (£12 million) in damages for injuries and losses suffered as a result of the alleged attack.

Brown was set to release another 10 British performance dates next month, but the tour could now be thrown into jeopardy due to the police investigation.

He previously announced his Breezy Bowl XX Tour to celebrate his 20 year career. During the tour, Brown was set to play gigs at the Co-Op Live stadium in Manchester. He was then expected to perform again at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff before a potential huge show at Tottenham Hotspur’s stadium in London. Gigs in Birmingham, Glasgow and Dublin were set to follow.

He announced his tour in March and shared his excitement on Instagram at the time. He wrote: “CELEBRATING 20 years of CB. So excited to be able to share this moment with the world and my amazing fans.

“I CANT WAIT TO SEE ALL YALLS BEAUTIFUL FACES. IMA TAKE YALL THREW THESE ERAS BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY GIVE YALL MY HEART AND SOUL.”

American R&B singer Chris Brown, the former boyfriend of superstar Rihanna, was arrested Thursday in the UK on suspicion of a serious 2023 assault at a London nightclub, reports said.

Police detained Brown, 36, in the early hours of Thursday at a hotel in the northwestern city of Manchester, The Daily Telegraph and The Sun reported.

London’s Metropolitan Police said a 36-year-old man was in custody on suspicion of grievous bodily harm, without naming him.

Officers arrested the Grammy winner at Manchester’s five-star Lowry Hotel for having allegedly attacked music producer Abe Diaw with a bottle at Tape nightclub in London’s exclusive Mayfair district in February 2023, The Sun daily reported.
