Stacey Solomon’s holiday date night with Joe Swash as they ditch kids for night alone

Loose Women star Stacey Solomon enjoyed a romantic date night with her husband Joe Swash during their family trip to Turkey and she filmed it for her fans to see

Stacey Solomon gave fans a glimpse into her beachside date night with husband Joe Swash while clearing up confusion over his absence from earlier holiday posts.

Posting to Instagram from their family trip to Turkey, Stacey responded to questions about Joe’s whereabouts, writing: “For everyone asking… of course Joe’s here, but we have five kids so anyone with kids knows you’re always on split shifts. Here’s a rare photo of us from last night.”

Thanks to Stacey’s step-sister Samantha Stone watching the children, the couple enjoyed some rare time alone. It comes after Stacey said she was ‘so proud’ as she unveiled her impressive body transformation in a tiny bikini.

In one selfie captioned “Mum and dad,” the pair were seen sipping rosé wine on the beach. Stacey also posted clips of Joe driving a golf buggy, kissing her forehead, and relaxing together on a bench.

As the two lay side by side, Stacey joked: “People ‘What did you do on your date night?’ Us: Laid there in silence and didn’t talk to each other. This is true love. This is true love.” To which Joe added: “When silence isn’t awkward, it’s embraced.”

The playful exchange continued as Stacey noticed Joe’s awkward position: “Have you even got something to rest your head on? Are you just hanging off the edge?”

“No, this is quite uncomfortable actually. It’s like the ultimate ab workout,” Joe laughed. Stacey then asked: “Why have you laid like that? Why have you done that?”

“Because I offered you my arm and didn’t realise no one’s there to offer me their arm,” Joe replied. “So I’ve just got to hover my head a little bit.”

Stacey smiled and concluded: “And that is true love. Suspended over a bench to make me comfortable.”

Ibiza Final Boss has met up with controversial adult star Bonnie Blue after she travelled to the White Isle for a surprise visit.

The viral raver, real name Jack Kay, had a rarther uncomfortable exchange with the sex star – who has been booted off OnlyFans for her extreme content – nervously hugging her in a video from the shock meet.

Bonnie, notorious for her rage-bait tactics and visiting party hot spots to find men to sleep with and film for her work, was quick to jump on the chance to meet the 26-year-old, who has just launched his own single bragging: “Your bird listens to the Ibiza Final Boss”.

The wince-worthy clip shows Jack with his arm around Bonnie as he faces away from her. Another moment shows the duo awkwardly making conversation, stood noticeably far away from each other.

Following their painful encounter, Bonnie said in a now-deleted clip: “It was my shortest video yet. I was shocked how nervous he was.”

The strange meet-up comes after Bonnie sparked outrage from Jack’s fans by sending him a cryptic message over the weekend, following reports that his girlfriend dumped him over his partying ways.

Lapping up his viral fame, the Georgie lad posted a video of him in Ibiza, with the caption: “The final boss can’t be slayed… your misses on the other hand? Her levels been completed”.

Bonnie, seemingly desperate to cash in on Jack’s viral moment, replied to his post with a simple eyes emoji – often used as a lewd and suggestive icon. Jack’s fans flooded the comments warning him to ‘stay away’ from the star, but it seems he didn’t listen.

The strange meeting comes after reports that there’s trouble in paradise for Jack and his glamorous girlfriend, who reportedly dumped him on his first Ibiza trip, just days before he went viral. He is said to be battling to save his relationship with Alisha Cook, a model and debt collector from Co Durham..

Alisha was allegedly so furious with her boyfriend partying in Ibiza that she broke up with him before videos of his haircut made him go viral. The pair have reportedly patched things up since, but a pal of Jack’s warned he was ‘skating on thin ice’ over his party lifestyle.

They told the Daily Mail: “Alisha called it off when Jack went to Ibiza with the lads. They’d been together for almost a year and he was living at her place but things hadn’t been right for months.

“His car is still on her drive, she threw all his clothes in the back of it. She doesn’t want him around anymore. She’s had inklings that something was not right for a while. She just wants to wash her hands of him. Alisha is so beautiful. No one is quite sure what she saw in him.”

It seems as though Alisha had a change of heart, however, as she’s publicly declared herself as Jack’s girlfriend since he rose to internet stardom.

In a series of TikTok videos captioned: “POV: ya boyfriend’s now known as Ibiza Final Boss,” Alisha is seen cosying up to Jack, including clips of him kissing her cheek and the two of them partying together.

‘I’m convinced Queen Camilla played key role in my knighthood after unexpected question’

Awarded a knighthood earlier this year, Sir Gary Oldman joins a long line of British actors to have accomplished the stunning achievement, but he thinks that the Queen might have had a key part to play

Just months after receiving his knighthood in June 2025, acting legend Sir Gary Oldman has revealed that he is convinced that Queen Camilla had a part to play in the decision that saw him receive the prestigious title.

For years, Sir Gary has lit up our screens with Oscar winning performances for the likes of his portrayal of Sir Winston Churchill in the historical drama Darkest Hour in 2017, but he believes it was actually one of his more recent performances that secured his knighthood, after a surprising remark from Queen Camilla.

In a recent comment to the Daily Mail, Sir Gary reflected on his tremendous achievement, admitting that it was possibly thanks to the intervention of King Charles’ wife that he was knighted earlier this year.

Revealing that the Royal had waxed lyrical about his portrayal of Jackson Lamb in the Apple TV drama Slow Horses, she then stopped him to ask: “Are there any more?”, with Sir Gary adding that he believes the King and Queen are fans of the show.

According to the Government’s website, there are three stages to the complete before someone can receive an honour.

The first stage of the process sees names drawn up by the Honours Committee, who are also tasked with deciding the honours each individuals should receive, the next phase sees that list handed over to the current Prime Minister for approval. Once those stages have been completed, it is then the King who awards the honour.

This year saw a number of new inductees into the honours list, with the likes of The Who frontman Sir Roger Daltrey, and former Manchester United footballer Sir David Beckham receiving knighthoods.

Meanwhile, they were joined by Evita and Cats star Dame Elaine Paige, author Dame Pat Barker and former Conservative MP Dame Penny Mordaunt.

Away from recently being awarded a knighthood, Sir Gary has long since been considered one of the finest actors of his generation.

He initially shot to fame when he played Sex Pistols bassist Sid Vicious in the 1986 biopic Sid and Nancy, which dramatised the couple’s controversial time together.
