Pop star Lily Allen has been seen getting to know another actor as she enjoyed a day out at a London festival following her split from husband David Harbour last year

Lily Allen has been spotted getting cosy with another actor following her split from husband David Harbour. The pop star, 40, is said to have joined celebrity dating app Raya in an effort to move on from their painful separation.

It appears it may have worked as she was seen getting close with actor James Norton over the weekend. It comes after Lily and Stranger Things actor David split in December last year – four years after they married one another.

Earlier this year, it was claimed that throughout their marriage, David had an affair behind Lily’s back. He was reportedly spotted on a celebrity dating app during his marriage to Lily.

The actor has not publicly acknowledged the accusations that he cheated on Lily or that he was on an app while married to the singer. It seems Lily is ready to focus on herself and have fun as she beamed alongside James, 39, at the Lido ­Festival in East London on Saturday.

The actor, who split from his model girlfriend last month, is also said to use dating app Raya. Lily and James were seen at the festival as they shunned the VIP arena in favour of watching the artists on their own, including Charli XCX, in photos seen by the Sun.

“Lily and James appeared to be on a date,” a source told the publication. “They were together for the day and were chatting and laughing together as they watched Charli XCX.

“Lily was leaning into him at one point. She and James seemed really relaxed together and she was really making him giggle.” The pair were said to be drinking non-alcoholic beer and that festival goers were doing double takes when they saw them together.

Things have been tough for Lily following the split as she entered a treatment centre earlier this year in order to process the breakdown of her marriage. In March, Lily opened up about the split for the first time during a live recording of her podcast at the Hackney Empire in London, telling the crowd: “I am not over it.

“I am sort of running away. Maybe I will have a nervous breakdown.” David recently talked about his personal life as he said he had let himself go “physically and emotionally.”

It came just hours after he confirmed their split after ditching his wedding ring on the red carpet at the premiere for the Marvel movie, Thunderbolts. David said: “I can go to these dark places.”

When prompted directly about his split from Lily, David gave a two-word response. “Oh boy,” he commented. But he later opened up about his reasoning for remaining silent.

“I’m protective of the people and the reality of my life,” he said. He added to GQ Magazine that he didn’t see the point in engaging with the interest surrounding the split as it had been based on “hysterical hyperbole.”

The Mirror has contacted James and Lily’s representatives for comment.

In her collage post, momager Kris included pictures of her with Rob Kardashian, Rob Kardashian Sr, Kanye West, Caitlyn, Travis Scott, Scott Disick, Travis Barker and Corey Gamble. She wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to all of the dads, step dads, grandfathers and father figures out there!

“You have shaped, supported, and loved us in so many ways and I’m grateful to have witnessed the love that each of you has for your children.

“To my son, Rob… you were born to be a daddy and I am so proud of the father and the man you are. I love you! I wish all the dads out there a day filled with love.”

Fans shared their appreciation of Kris’ inclusive post, praising her for including everyone despite troubled relationships. “She didn’t discriminate,” one user wrote.

Another posted: “Momma knows how to include all the daddies regardless of what… Kris is a true definition of a Queen,” while one said: “This post says a lot about you. You are a symbol of unity and positivity despite the challenges you’ve faced since being on our screens for more than a decade that we’ve watched your beautiful family.”

“Appreciate the inclusiveness no matter the personal differences, go Kris,” another added. One fan shut down the criticism from some unsure fans, writing: “All y’all hating but at the end of the day they are ALL still dads she showed appreciation to each of them!”

Meanwhile, Kris recently lifted the lid on her facelift after her daughter Kylie Jenner revealed the exact details of her boob job. After Kylie told fans Garth Fisher was the surgeon who gave her a breast enhancement, he responded on social media.

“I’m honoured to be acknowledged by Kylie—her kind words were unexpected but truly appreciated,” the doctor wrote to his followers.

He continued: “Patient confidentiality has always been the foundation of my practice. Over 3 decades, we’ve never had a single breach. My entire team is thoroughly trained and bound by strict NDAs and confidentiality agreements. This is more than policy—it’s our culture.”

He went on to reference HIPAA (patient privacy) laws and why he will never discuss a client’s procedures without their permission, adding: “Every patient is unique. This isn’t ‘cookbook’ surgery—it’s thoughtful, personalised care.”

In the comment section, Kris was quick to gush over the doctor and thank him for his past work on her body amid buzz surrounding her new rumoured facelift. “Garth you are such a superstar class act,” the momanger told the surgeon.

“You did my first facelift in 2011… 14 years ago!!! and made it the most amazing experience ever and even gave us access to film so that others could get a peek inside what it’s like and not be afraid… you have taken great care of us always and remain such a close and treasured friend!! Such an incredible talent!!”

Brooklyn Beckham has failed to mark Father’s Day for his dad David Beckham amid their family fallout despite the football icon’s olive branches through social media

David Beckham’s public calls to his eldest son Brooklyn Beckham have appeared to have landed flat as he has failed to mark Father’s Day. The football icon, 50, has been locked in a bitter family fallout with his son, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30.

Things came to blows for the Beckhams when Brooklyn and Nicola failed to attend David’s 50th birthday celebrations despite flying to London from Los Angeles. Since, Brooklyn has appeared keen to express his loyalties towards his wife amid reports he has stopped responding to messages from his famous family.

Brooklyn failed to publicly acknowledge David’s long awaited knighthood on Friday and has now ignored Father’s Day. For the family who have long used social media to post gushing personal messages, it seems Brooklyn’s silence could be deafening.

His younger brothers Romeo and Cruz led the way in paying tribute to David for the special day. Cruz shared a snap of him chilling in the sun with his sports star dad and captioned the post saying: ” Happy Father’s Day, I love you x.”

Meanwhile, Romeo posted two pictures of him and his father. One was of him as a child with David and he captioned it simply saying: “love you.”

David shared his own public message to his children as he appeared to hint at the feud. He shared: “My most important & favourite job in life is being a dad… I’m so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what…

“Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad… Happy Father’s Day… I love you kiddies more than you could imagine.”

Throughout the day, David shared a series of throwback photos of his family as he shared his pride at being a dad. He tagged all his children in the posts, yet still did not receive a response from Brooklyn.

His wife Nicola chose to share the love to her own dad but not her in-law. She shared a series of photos throughout the years with her dad Nelson alongside a touching caption.

Nicola wrote: “Happy Father’s Day to the greatest dad in the world I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support I love you beyond words. Happy Father’s Day dad.”

Brooklyn recently shared a picture of a tattoo that could be perceived as a tell-tale sign about where his loyalties lie. The image shows the tattoo on Brooklyn’s upper back that is based on a note Nicola, 30, wrote to him before their wedding in April 2022.

Tattooed in a stylish calligraphy font, it reads: “My forever boy. Read this anytime you feel anxious. I want you to know how deeply loved you are. You have the kindest heart I’ve ever met and hope I never go a day without your love. I think you are so incredible. Just know we can get through it all together if you breathe slow and trust. I love you beyond. Love always, your future wifey.”

The Matinee stage at the Parklife festival was closed this evening with bosses at the festival making the decision to pause proceedings at the dance arena following ‘advice from the safety team’

Parklife festival goers received a surprising update that one of its prime stages was shut, citing ‘safety’ worries as the cause. Revellers were earlier asked to evacuate from the Matinee stage, following a decision by Heaton Park festival chiefs to halt the dance arena’s programme based on ‘advice from the safety team’.

Manchester’s own DJ Josh Baker and Denmark’s Chris Stussy had been lined up to grace the stage Sunday evening. In a heartfelt Instagram post, Baker, who was scheduled for a 6.30pm to 8pm slot, expressed his regrets saying he was ‘deeply sorry’ he couldn’t take the stage.

On social media to his followers, he announced: “Unfortunately, I will not be performing at Parklife due to reasons outside of my control. I deeply apologise. I can’t really put into words what today was going to mean for me.”

Chris Stussy, set to close the stage with an 8pm to 11pm performance, found himself in the same position, reports the Manchester Evening News.

Taking to Instagram, Stussy revealed his disappointment at not being able to perform, mentioning ‘safety comes first’ and pointed out that the closure was ‘due to safety reasons’ and issues with the ‘stage being over-crowded’.

By way of an alert through the Parklife app, festival organisers informed that there was an interruption at the Matinee stage. Festival-goers saw the message: “Upon advice of the PL safety team, the show on the Matinee stage has been paused. We will update asap.”

In a fresh statement released this evening, Parklife’s spokesperson announced: “As a result of crowd movement at the Matinee Stage and on the advice of our safety team to remove the risk of any potential incidents, Parklife made the decision to close the stage for the remainder of the final day of the festival.

“Unfortunately it has been impossible to relocate Josh Baker’s and Chris Stussy’s performances to a new stage. Our teams worked quickly and diligently to address the situation and the safety of our festival attendees is always our utmost priority.”

Attendees described the stage area as dangerously overcrowded, with ‘all packed together’ and ‘too many people in’. A staff member reportedly took to the stage to announce an evacuation due to a ‘health and safety emergency’.

Lizzie Brown, 18, from Birmingham, said: “I was in there and they were letting too many people in. We were all packed together, but stuck. This man on the mic said everyone needs to leave. He said it was a health and safety emergency. As we were leaving, we had to climb over the barrier to get out.”

Several hopefuls lingered outside the Matinee stage, wishing for it to reopen, yet eventually dispersed when it became clear that it wouldn’t be in time for Stussy’s scheduled performance. The rest of the festival’s stages continued to operate without interruption

Reform UK leader Nigel Farage and former model Jodie Marsh were all smiles as they took over the dance floor with fellow famous faces, and partied at Jodie’s fundraising bash

Politician Nigel Farage and media personality Jodie Marsh might seem like an unlikely duo on paper, but they were all smiles as they were snapped dancing together at a fundraiser for Jodie’s animal charity. The Reform UK leader appeared to be having the time of his life as he held hands with the former model and danced around the room.

Nigel joined in the party antics at Quendon Hall in Essex, wearing a blue velvet suit jacket paired with some black trousers. Jodie cut a smart figure in a velvet emerald green dress which trailed along the floor behind her.

Jodie hosted the event to raise funds for her Fripps Farm Animal Sanctuary which she started in 2020. It is reported that she funds the running of the centre out of her own money and the fundraising event was to generate some extra income to continue to sanctuary’s rescue projects.

Nigel Farage wasn’t the only famous face at the bash, as Spandau Ballet singer Tony Hadley was spotted at the event, as well as Eastenders favourite Jessie Wallace and Rod Stewart’s son Alastair.

The Sun reported that Oasis musician and singer Noel Gallagher donated one of his guitars and a few tickets to one of their upcoming gigs which accumulated a whopping £6000 for the charity.

The sanctuary’s Instagram page kept fans up to date with the party and even included a glimpse of Jodie shaving off another person’s hair in the name of charity. Jodie stated that she had the ‘best supporters’ on her Instagram and publicly thanked people for donating.

Jodie wrote on Instagram: “We did it !!!!!!! Thank you to everyone who donated for Nathan to shave his hair off!!!!!!!!! I did it live at our gala ball last night!! The Maximus Gala Ball. You are all amazing and the biggest thanks to Nathan for raising all that money for Fripps”.

Fripps Farm is described as a ‘loving home’ to unwanted animals on their official website. They also state that ‘all animals’ are welcome and that many have been saved from the ‘brink of heath’.

The website states: “Owned by former model and documentary maker Jodie Marsh, Fripps Farm is currently home to over 250 animals, many of which have been saved from slaughter.

“Jodie gives a loving home to animals that are either unwanted or in danger of being put to sleep/slaughtered.”

“With the correct nutrition, care and expertise Jodie has also brought sick or injured animals back from the brink of death. Followers of the farm can clearly see how loved the animals are and how special Jodie’s bond is with them. All animals welcome at Fripps Farm.”

Cher’s son Elijah Blue Allman, who she shares with the late Gregg Allman, has reportedly been rushed to the hospital after he was found unresponsive

Cher’s son, Elijah Blue Allman, has reportedly been rushed to the hospital after he was found unresponsive on Saturday morning. According to reports, the 48-year-old’s current condition is unknown, but he is receiving ‘the best care possible’ at a hospital in Joshua Tree, California.

According to TMZ, Elijah, who iconic singer Cher shares with the late Gregg Allman, is “very lucky to have survived.” An insider said Cher is focusing on “doing everything she can to get him the help he needs”. They said: “Just like any mother, Cher’s only concern right now is for her son’s well-being, and she’s doing everything she can to get him the help he needs.”

The Mirror have reached out to the representative of Cher for comment.

Elijah has a history of substance abuse, with Cher filing for a conservatorship to control his access to his money two years ago. The singer previously claimed he was “substantially unable to manage his own financial resources due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues.”

The son of Cher, who is one of six siblings, was part of a rock band called Deadsy for 28 years as the lead guitarist but he stepped away from the band in 2023.

According to court documents obtained by Page Six, he is currently going through a divorce from Marieangela King.

In September 2023, Marie King accused Cher of hiring men to kidnap Elijah from their New York hotel room in November 2022 when they were trying to “reconcile” their marriage on their wedding anniversary.

It was said the singer was concerned for his welfare at the time. In December 2023, Cher filed for a full conservatorship of her son.

The musician filed court papers to be in charge of her son’s estate as she stated she was worried for Elijah’s safety. She claimed that he was suffering from drug addiction and was “unable to manage his own financial resources.”

She also said she was concerned he would use all his money on drugs, citing in a petition to a Los Angeles court: “Due to severe mental health and substance abuse issues, Elijah is not currently able to manage his finances.”

Elijah previously opened up about his struggles with substance abuse. During a 2014 interview with Entertainment Tonight, he said: “I started with drugs around the same time that we all did, around eleven. I mean it’s just what you did, it’s just what everybody did,” adding that he started with weed and ecstasy.

“I [was] just looking to escape all the things in my past and, that’s when you turn to those kind of drugs, you know heroin and opiates,” he said. “[Heroin] kind of saved me … If I didn’t have that at that point, I don’t know what I would have done …You may jump off a bridge. If you can only just go through that time period and live through it and then get help.”
