Three years after the fiance’s death, Tom Mann, the X Factor star, shares a picture with girlfriend Danielle.

At the age of 34, Danielle passed away. Prior to her passing, she had returned from a vacation in Sardinia. She had no known medical conditions and her cause of death was unknown.

At the time of her death, Tom shared the tragic news on Instagram accompanied by a picture of Danielle holding their son, who was only eight months old at the time.

He wrote, “My darling Dani, my best friend, my everything, and my love of my life, passed away in the early hours of Saturday morning, June 18th, 2018. I can’t believe I am writing these words. What was supposed to be our happy day ended in irreversible heartache on what was supposed to be our happy day.

He added: “I feel like I have cried an ocean. We never made it to the alter; or got to say our vows, or dance our first dance, but I know you know that you were my entire world and the best thing that has ever happened to me, Danielle. I will wear this ring that I was always supposed to wear as a sign of my unconditional love to you.”

He continued, “I am completely broken trying to process this, and I honestly don’t know where to go next.” However, he does know that we need to use all of our child’s strength. I’m not going to judge you as a parent like you’ve already become, but I promise to do everything in your power to make Bowie our happy child. He will appreciate his mummy’s amazing qualities, I assure you. I’m going to make you proud, promise.

The most attractive person both inside and out, Tom continued. The most incredible spirit. We have lost a very special person, and I’m confident that there will be an outpouring of love that will reflect this. I’ll try to make your comments and messages about peace, but I’m currently grieving and will be for a very, very long time. Without you, my world would be nothing but darkness, dear Dani, the brightest light in any room. You will forever be my miss.

However, it was revealed that he had managed to leave after a number of dates with Danielle in April of this year.

In a surprising twist, Danielle shares a mysterious relationship with Tom’s late fiancée and shares her first name, Danielle Hampson.

Tom shared photos of their first dates, including one that occurred during the Easter holiday, with his followers.

It’s still early days, but they’re dating, according to a source who spoke to The Sun.

As a duo with her twin sister Zara, Danielle and Tom and Danielle have a band called Dolder, which they both love to play music in.

In both series 10 and 11, Tom performed solo on the X Factor. However, he was later recruited by Stereo Kicks, where he made it to the 2014 Final.

Jake Sims, Chris Leonard, Charlie Jones, Casey Johnson, Barclay Beales, Reece Bibby, and Chris Leonard made up the band.

According to an insider, Pagesix has seen a transition from 0 to 60. Without it, Harry wouldn’t have gone public with Zo, according to the source, who said it’s difficult to date a celebrity. However, it’s brand-new and fresh, and they’re just having fun.

Adding, “Harry doesn’t label this stuff.” It comes as the One Direction star, 31, has been on hiatus from the spotlight ever since his massive two-year world tour ended in Italy in July 2023.

Pope Leo declares teen millennial , known as ‘God’s influencer’, a saint

At a ceremony led by Pope Leo XIV at the Vatican, an Italian teenager from London who is known as “God’s influencer” and a early adopter of the internet to spread Catholic doctrines.

In a ceremony held on Sunday in St Peter’s Square, thousands of people attended Carlo Acutis’s passing, which was celebrated by Leo canonized. He passed away in 2006 at the age of 15 and died in a ceremony. Pier Giorgio Frassati, who passed away in 1924 but was well-known for his charitable work, was also canonized by the pontiff at the Mass.

Leo praised Acutis and Frassati for “making masterpieces” of their lives while emceeding to attendees that “the greatest risk in life is wasted it outside of God’s plan.”

Acutis is a distinct figure from the church’s saints of the past, who were frequently depicted in solemn paintings, and is frequently seen in his casual outfits, scruffy hair, T-shirts, and sunglasses. Acutis has a broader following thanks to this, which makes him a more relatable saint for today’s digitally-focused young people.

Leo argued that Acutis and Frassati’s lives are an invitation to all of us, particularly young people, to not waste our lives and propel them forward.

Acutis was born in London in 1991, but he later moved with his family to Milan, a city in northern Italy, where he lived until he passed away from leukemia in 2006.

Acutis used the skills he gained as a teenager to document recognized church miracles and spread Catholic teaching internationally. His ground-breaking digital endeavors occurred at a time when those subjects were not widely known.

He was also alleged to have regularly attended church services, been kind to the homeless, and treated bullied children, which he deemed to be a threat to Catholic youth around the world.

The mother of Acutis, Antonia Salzano, started advocating for her son’s recognition as a saint shortly after his passing, which required that he perform miracles throughout his life.

The teenager performed two miracles while living, according to Pope Francis, whose death in April of this year caused the saint-making ceremony to be postponed. A boy and a girl who were both injured in Costa Rica and had a birth defect that affected their pancreas, according to the Catholic News Agency.

Pope Francis acknowledged Acutis’ efforts in a letter to Catholics in 2019 and praised his work, saying, “The digital world can expose you to the risk of self-absorption, isolation, and empty pleasure.” However, keep in mind that there are still some young people there who exhibit creativity and even genius. The Venerable Carlo Acutis was one example of this.

Vernon Kay exclaims ‘I just got fired’ after complimenting ‘hot’ BBC Radio 2 co-star

When Vernon Kay presented BBC Radio 2 in the Park to Michelle Visage, he was in a cheeky mood, yelling that he would be “fired” after making a flirty comment.

BBC Radio 2’s Vernon Kay, 51, joked that he was about to get “the sack” after engaging in some cheeky flirtation with Radio 2 in the Park co-host Michelle Visage, 56, who is friends with his Strictly presenter wife, Tess Daly.

For Radio 2’s acclaimed annual event, which featured performers Marti Pellow, pop sensation Jessie J, and local lad Olly Murs, the pair had been broadcasting live from Chelmsford’s Hylands Park.

Michelle had been making observations about the sweltering temperatures at the park on Saturday, beginning with her career in the girl group Seduction before becoming a judge of RuPaul’s Drag Race.

Before giving Michelle the task of jotting down his compliment and posting it to herself, Vernon playfully responded, “But wherever you are is always hot”.

He advised putting it in an envelope and returning it home. You can open that envelope when you return home. And you are aware of what it will say? You’re hot”.

Vernon apologised to his saucy remarks, saying, “I just got fired,” which drew laughter from former Strictly contestant Michelle.

While Vernon was denigrating the boot, comedian Josh Widdecombe, who plays on his radio, was spouting ideas for new things. Josh bragged that he could play Damon Albarn’s lead singer in the band’s Parklife role after taking over the Phil Daniels role for a performance of Blur’s Parklife at the festival.

Fearne Cotton was spotted attempting to persuade a few other Radio 2 in the Park employees to dance while also trying to entice some security guards to join in the Macarena. She did, however, only manage to “get a little twitchy” at the end.

Vernon was in high spirits at the BBC event, expressing his relief after an “anxious” time at home. At the end of last month, he shared with fans that he couldn’t “stop crying” after finally receiving his daughter Amber’s GCSE results.

The 51-year-old presenter admitted to having “weeks of anxiety” in the weeks leading up to results day, telling fellow DJ Scott Mills, “I can’t stop crying, Scott, I can’t stop crying. Today is GCSE results day, and we are all good.

He continued to make his point about the significance of a student’s GCSE results, saying, “I think GCSEs are more significant than A-levels.” Because of the difficulty of GCSEs, which are the first major step, “well it’s not a step, it’s a stride,” you can kind of fudge and blag a little bit because you have a little bit of something about you from A-levels onward.

The girls have seen me crying this morning because our eldest, Amber getting her GCSE results, and I’ve watched it more than a dozen times, and I keep welling up, so please allow me today, please.

And I said, “Abby, I know we’re in this high of engagement, and we’re going to get married this year,” when I booked White Lotus a few days later.

“But we’ll have to push it,” he said. I’ve got White Lotus, and I’ll be shooting in Thailand for the next seven months. She was incredibly happy. She was delighted because she had a big fan.

He claimed that “we met through.” She was actually on a date with a different friend of mine, and I attended the meeting.

Everything was “kosher per se,” the statement goes. And then she finally made it to a date, which I did for a while before she completely blew me away.

“Over the years, I just kept growing more and more in love with her, with the person she was becoming and the relationship was becoming.”
