What it’s REALLY like dating bombshell Sydney Sweeney

IT CAN’T be easy dating red-hot Sydney Sweeney – just ask her new boyfriend Scooter Braun.

Everyone wants a piece of Sydney right now, and The Sun has bombshell insider knowledge that reveals the truth about the couple’s struggles as countless men compete for her attention.

A-list fame comes with complications – particularly for Scooter, 44, who sources say is struggling to adjust and gets nervous when 28-year-old Sydney takes “me time”.

Premier League footballers have also been “constantly” sliding into her DMs, with some tracking down her private number, sources say.

Scooter finds the persistence “incredibly disrespectful,” even though Sydney blocks and ignores them, according to the insiders.

The Hollywood couple went public last August, shortly after she confirmed her split from longtime partner Jonathan Davino.

They got engaged in 2022, but announced last March that they were now spending time apart.

Sydney, however, didn’t waste any time moving on, with her and new boy Scooter not shy about their blossoming love.

They have been spotted kissing in Los Angeles following the premiere of her new film, and later spent Thanksgiving together at Sydney’s Florida Keys home.

Behind the scenes, however, tensions are beginning to boil.

Insiders claim Scooter was left “furious and disrespected” late last year after Sydney met Davino in LA – a situation that sources say crossed a line for the 44-year-old music executive.

Despite that, friends insist the relationship remains serious.

One well-placed source says the friction has been sparked by differing expectations, especially in the eyes of “old school” Scooter.

“Sydney has always been fiercely independent,” the insider explains. “She values time alone — whether that’s travelling by herself, going out with girlfriends, or just switching off. Scooter prefers togetherness, and he’s still adjusting to that.”

Recent Instagram posts showing Sydney enjoying a dreamy solo trip to snowy Lapland only fuelled speculation. She appeared carefree, glowing and having the time of her life — though it remains unclear whether Scooter joined her.

FRIENDS ARE WORRIED

Friends have also raised concerns about the couple’s 16-year age gap.

While Sydney has dated older men before — Davino is 41 — some social media barbs have struck a nerve with Scooter.

It’s not hard to find negative comments about the pair online.

Everything from “Scooter is stalking out his next payday” to “he is way too old for her” have flooded the comment sections about their relationship.

Some hit harder than others.

“What a step down,” one online critic snapped. “But he does have contacts and is super rich so I see what she is doing here.”

Another blasted the pairing was “gross” and that Scooter “isn’t good enough and definitely not good enough looking.”

The music executive was also slammed as a “red flag” and ridiculed as a “limp piece of spaghetti”.

The swathes of negativity have been hard to handle for the New Yorker.

“He struggles with the mockery,” the source says. “He’s still learning that she doesn’t need permission or reassurance to live her life.”

Those sensitivities may be shaped by Scooter’s bruising past.

His very public feud with Taylor Swift in 2019, sparked by the sale of her masters, left his reputation in tatters and it may never recover.





Scooter wants to build a long-term future with her.

High-profile clients drifted away, his marriage ended, and Scooter later admitted the episode took a severe toll on his mental health.

He has spoken openly recently about having suicidal tendencies.

In recent years, however, he has consciously stepped back from the industry spotlight.

Scooter has focused on charity work and personal growth — and hoping to build a life with Sydney.

After a run of box-office disappointments, Sydney appears to have struck gold with thriller The Housemaid.

Made for around £25 million, the film has already grossed £100 million worldwide and earned strong reviews.

Indeed, it’s been such a success that there are already plans in the works for a blockbuster sequel.

With an estimated net worth north of £30 million, Sydney is officially Hollywood’s hottest property.

Not bad for a girl whose cash-strapped family were forced to leave the humble surroundings of Spokane, Washington and were forced into bankruptcy while attempting to turn her into a star.

Now, however, the spotlight is shining brighter than ever on Tinseltown’s new golden girl never stops.

Neither does the rush for her affections.

Sydney told The Sun last year that her DMs are “not a safe space,” and the messages keep coming.

Premier League stars from England’s top clubs have been bombarding Sydney with messages – but she never replies, insiders say.

“She’s completely transparent,” one source adds. “She shows him everything to be honest. Seeing how relentless some of these men are can upset him — but she always reassures him.”

The jealousy doesn’t bother her though.

“She likes seeing him get a little jealous,” the insider says. “To her, it shows he cares and is fully invested.”

Scooter knows he’s dating a global star, and a modern sex symbol.

He is quickly finding out loving Sydney doesn’t just mean trusting her — it means learning to share her with the world.

“Scooter wants to build a long-term future with her,” concluded the source.

Only time will tell if his dream becomes a reality.

Kylie Jenner fans convinced she’s engaged to Timothee Chalamet after spotting massive diamond ring in new video

EAGLE-EYED Kylie Jenner fans have noted a huge new diamond on her finger – and are certain it’s an engagement ring.

According to fans, beauty mogul Kylie is engaged to her actor boyfriend Timothee Chalamet after spotting the dazzling sparkler in a new video.

She captioned it: “Got a fresh haircut don’t talk to meeeee.”

Fans took to TikTok to comment on the sassy video in which she’s swishing her long dark wavy hair.

Wearing a figure-hugging white vest top with a plunging neckline, the billionaire can be seen flicking her voluminous locks and giggling into the camera.

Applying lip gloss to her perfectly-preened face, the TV star rocked the ill-fitting giant diamond on her little finger.

MOVE OVER!

One user wrote: “It HAS to be an engagement ring because it’s too big to be fitted for her pinky.”

“Mrs. Chalamet has never looked this beautiful. A touch of happiness made her glow,” noted a second.

“Mrsssss Chalamet looking soooo good!!!!” agreed a third.

A fourth fan simply wrote: “Kylie Chalamet.”

“Anyone else notice that ring turns to the side?” noted another viewer.

“I see that diamond on the pinky,” observer a different user.

“Let me see the ring, Kylieeeee,” begged another.

Super-Influencer Kylie, 28, and Hollywood actor Timothee, 30, finally made their official red carpet debut as a couple in May last year.

The smitten pair, who have been dating since 2023, attended the 70th David di Donatello Awards in Rome, Italy together.

The U.S. Sun previously revealed that Timothee and Kylie have yet to commit to living under the same roof, preferring instead to split their time between NYC and Los Angeles

The Oscar-nominated star has a place in his native NYC as well as a $11 million house in Beverly Hills, while his billionaire Kardashian girlfriend has a $48 million mansion in nearby Holmby Hills

But things are stepping up a gear and he has made room for his long-term girlfriend at his NY pad.

Kylie, who has two children with rapper Travis Scott, has the keys to his place in New York, and her man has full access to her home.

An insider says she has ‘so many clothes and shoes’ there that Timothee has had to move some of his own stuff into storage to make some ‘extra room’.

According to the source, Kylie has been buying furniture, art and vases to make his city apartment feel more like a ‘love nest’ in her style.

The screen star has just scooped the Best Actor gong for his role as Marty Mauser in the recent Marty Supreme flick, beating the likes of Leonardo Di Caprio and Ethan Hawke to the accolade.

He directly addressed the Hulu star in his acceptance speech and said: “Thank you to my partner for three years.

“I love you. I couldn’t do this without you.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Katherine Ryan makes surprising motherhood confession after being ‘addicted’ to pregnancy for five years

KATHERINE Ryan has made a candid confession about motherhood, just three months after welcoming baby daughter Holland.

The comedian, 42, is a mum-of-four and also shares kids Fred, four, and Fenna, three, with her husband Bobby Koostra, while her 16-year-old daughter Violet is from a previous relationship.

And now, Katherine has hinted that there will be no more children to come – something which wasn’t an easy decision.

Sharing a snap of baby Holland in her arms to Instagram, Katherine wrote: “Meanwhile, I gave away a bunch of newborn clothes today and it was heartbreaking.

“I’ve been addicted to pregnancy for give years and giving it up is tough.”

Back in October last year, Bobby described his partner Katherine as the “MVP ” and “Patrick Mahomes of child birth” – referencing the American football player’s famously strong performance on the field.

In the post, which announced the birth of their daughter Holland, he shared a picture of Katherine sipping on a glass of champagne and revealed she had given birth in just 45 minutes.

Previously, Katherine admitted to The Sun that she “loved” having children and wanted to keep going for as long as possible.

She said in February last year: “I love having children. You can make people – it’s magic.”

“So I’d like as many as we can until it becomes an issue where I can’t spend time with the ones I already have. I think that’s the balance.”

Talking before she had Holland, Katherine continued: “One more, at least, and then if I felt like I had enough attention or life left in me – because I’m also getting old and tired – then I think I’d like five or six children.

“And I do have a Kardashian mindset, in that when I’m gone, or I’m no longer of interest and I’ve got my little pied-à-terre in Marylebone and I’m alone – an eccentric elderly woman watching musical theatre by myself while Bobby’s inside – it’d be so nice for the siblings to get together and have this life beyond me.”

However, parenthood hasn’t been smooth sailing for Katherine either.

Last year, she admitted how “sleep deprived, tired and hungry” both she and Bobby were while juggling their brood.

Appearing on Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo’s podcast, Newlyweds, she said: “It really tests your relationship

“You used to be the most important person in each other’s lives, you cease to be the most important person in each other’s lives. There’s a shift in, you know, roles and responsibilities and focus. 

“You’re both tired and you’re hungry and you’re sleep deprived – that’s how they torture prisoners. I haven’t slept in four years, but I’m kind of fine with it.”

With three kids under five, the sleep is unlikely to come back just yet!

How Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban will split £210million property empire as divorce settlement revealed

NICOLE Kidman and Keith Urban face the tough task of dividing their staggering £210million property portfolio as part of their divorce settlement.

The former couple’s marriage is now officially over after the superstar pair finalised their split this week, and they’ve come to an agreement on how their collection of multi-million pound homes will be divvied up.

According to documents seen by the Daily Mail, both Nicole and Keith will retain ownership of the properties already in their possession and the rest will be split to their mutual satisfaction.

It is believed the majority of the exes’ properties were all jointly purchased following their wedding in 2006.

The most recent purchase came in 2023 in the form of a £5.7m three-bed apartment in Sydney‘s exclusive Landmark Latitude complex – their sixth property in the same high rise.

They have another £13.3m wrapped up in the complex.

ALL OVER

New details from Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s divorce settlement revealed


Turned on

From tent Romps to Nicole Kidman in Babygirl – sexiest TV & film scenes of 2025

Nicole and Keith first bought into the apartment block in 2009, picking up a sizeable 420-square-metre pad overlooking the city’s famous harbour for a cool £4.45m.

A further £5.2m was splashed on a larger neighbouring apartment when that became available in 2012.

The couple bought into the 19th floor in 2011, paying £2m on a smaller space that Nicole used as a home office.

Variety is the spice of life, and Nicole and Keith diversified over the years, adding mansions to their portfolio.

Music mecca Nashville was first on their list.

They bought a huge 20-room home in the city back in 2008 for a seemingly reasonable £2.6million.

It was their primary home throughout their married years and a sanctuary away from bright lights.

Nicole previously said: “Keith and I are very good at immediately clicking off because we have a really good life in Nashville that’s very simple, quiet, and nourishing because we’ve made it like that.”

It’s likely Nicole will remain here as she has been granted the primary custody of their children.

A five-bedroom Beverly Hills bolt hole quickly followed for £3.5million, a perfect base for Hollywood queen Nicole. It has an outdoor pool with a slide and a stunning views of the city from is wrap-around terrace.

The pair also had sights set on property on the East Coast.

Their biggest purchase saw them drop a huge £10.03million on a 10th floor Manhattan duplex complete with futuristic elevator, before adding a smaller, stylishly designed apartment in trendy Tribeca to the books in 2020 for a comparatively cheap £4.2million.

One of them will now need to change their retirement plan, though.

They picked up a six-bedroom home full of character in New South Wales on a sprawling 45 hectare site in 2008 for £4.8m.

A working farm that is home to alpacas and cows, it features a guest cottage perfect for those travelling to the remote location.

There’s plenty in the way of entertainment too with an 18-metre pool and tennis court.

It would have been the perfect place to spend quiet, contemplative days outdoors when it’s time to hang up their working boots.

Meanwhile, court documents obtained by Page Six reveal that Nicole and Keith have waived all child and spousal support.

The former couple’s two daughters, Sunday Rose, 17, and Faith Margaret, 15, will stay with Nicole for 306 days a year.

Keith will spend 59 days, or “every other weekend” with them, according to court documents.

Nicole and Keith, both 58, agreed to not pay child support, citing reported monthly incomes exceeding $100,000 each.

They also agreed not to pay alimony or spousal support, making each party responsible for their own legal fees.

The former couple decided that all property – including investments, bank accounts, vehicles, and personal items – will be divided by mutual agreement, and each person will keep what they already have.

It remains unclear if they had a prenuptial agreement.

Nicole waived her right to be in court on Tuesday, as she had returned from Australia with her daughters the previous day.

The settlement comes just months after Nicole filed for divorce on September 30, citing “irreconcilable differences.”

A source told the Sun at the time that Nicole and Keith had been “living separate lives” for three years prior to their split.

The insider revealed that Nicole’s back-to-back filming schedule and Keith’s world tour made it difficult for the couple to see each other.

Nicole was reportedly “blindsided” by the split after helping Keith through his struggles with alcohol addiction.

She made several attempts to save their marriage, but Keith was already “done” with the relationship, according to TMZ.

“But Keith has long had his demons and it was vital to Nicole that he didn’t drink if he was to make their marriage work,” the insider told the Sun.

“He has openly told friends he’s made ­mistakes in the past, but Nicole was constantly checking on him, making sure he was OK.

“It came from a loving place of concern but it was a case of ‘one more drink and game over’.

“It was a lot of pressure on them.”

Now, insiders in Nicole’s camp believe he may have moved on already.

The singer was rumored to be romantically linked to his guitarist, Maggie Baugh, 25.

Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban’s Relationship Timeline

The original lyric goes, “When they’re tryna get to you, baby I’ll be the fighter.”

Keith previously told Billboard about the song: “It’s all from a conversation my wife and I had early on in our relationship, that when things get tough, I need to hold her tighter and just try to take care of her.

Gordon Ramsay welcomes Adam Peaty into his family as he makes sweet declaration

GORDON Ramsay has officially welcomed Adam Peaty into the family fold with a sweet comment following the swimmer’s marriage to his daughter, Holly.

The influencer, 27, and Olympian, 31, headed on a lavish Maldives honeymoon after they tied the knot at Bath Abbey on December 27.

Over the weekend, dad of one Adam shared a snippet of his wedding speech in which he seemingly took a jab at his estranged parents, with whom he is locked in a family feud.

In a sad turn of events, dad of one Adam banned his mum Caroline from his special day while he told his father he could attend but watch from the back of the church – an invite he then understandably declined.

Tensions between the families were heightened when F Word chef Gordon made reference to the bad blood when he delivered a fiery father-od-the-bride speech – which Holly backed in a message following the ceremony.

Now Gordon has firmly welcomed Adam into the Ramsay clan.

Adam Peaty’s mum ‘outraged and hurt’ by Gordon Ramsay’s digs in wedding speech


BREAKING COVER

Adam Peaty seen for 1st time since wedding after name change snub to parents

He commented on his recent Instagram post where he could be heard reading his wedding speech and penned: “Beautiful words @adamramsaypeaty.

“True Love @hollyramsaypeaty congratulations.”

He then signed off his comment with: “Love you both so much Dad.”

The sweet declaration at the end of the comment was seemingly a way for Gordon to welcome Adam into the fold.

Since the ceremony, swimmer Adam has revealed his name change – tweaking his surname to Ramsay Peaty – in what appeared to be another snub.

GORDON’S ROLE

At last month’s ceremony, Gordon made a striking speech and told the couple how his wife Tana “will be a good mum to them both”.

Gordon gushed at how beautiful Holly looked and told Adam he was a “lucky man”, adding: “Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.” 

And in a sly dig at Adam’s absent parents he told Holly: “Shame you don’t have the same.” 

In a chat with British Vogue, content creator Holly spoke about a photo showing her and Adam at the ceremony and appeared to reinforce her support for his words.

She said: “Listening to dad’s speech, looking around the room and feeling overwhelmed with the love and the happiness on our guests’ faces.”

Yet it was then reported how Adam’s mum Caroline was “outraged and hurt” by Gordon’s “cruel” digs at her family.

A source close to the Peaty family told the Daily Mail at the time: “Caroline can’t believe Gordon brought their family troubles up his speech. It is outrageous and very hurtful.

“By him saying Tana will be a good mum to them both makes Caroline sound like a bad mum. It was a cruel dig at her.

“She has always done her best for all her children. She is a very good mum.”

Adam’s feud with mum Caroline, 60, exploded In November after she was not invited to Holly’s hen do.  

And he appeared to refuse to back down from the family drama as he dished out a cryptic statement on social media to mark the New Year.

Man Utd star Mason Mount goes public with gorgeous girlfriend on Lapland trip as pair had been ‘friends for a long time’

MANCHESTER United midfielder Mason Mount has found love.

I can reveal that the England international was seen with his arm around marketing executive Jordan Porter on a family trip to Lapland in Finland over the Christmas period.

It is understood that the couple met through Mason’s pal Ben Harris who is engaged to Jordan’s sister Jodie.

A source said: “Mason and Jordan have been friends for a long time after being introduced through Ben.

“Family is important to Mason so having Jordan on the Lapland trip meant a lot.

“Mason’s performance on the pitch has also improved so it looks like Jordan is a keeper.”

Mason shared a snap of himself with his arm around Jordan at Lapland with his 5.6million followers last month.

The footie ace also posted a glimpse of two red stockings under his Christmas tree, embroidered with an M for Mason and J for Jordan. His brother Lewis also shared a picture of their family to his 16,600 Instagram followers.

Mason was pictured next to Jordan and with his arm around his dad Tony.

The pair were first linked in February 2024 when they were both pictured with a group of friends at the v.

Mason and Jordan also joined Ben and Jodie on their trip to Ibiza in July.

Jordan is Head of Experiences for London-based event planning service, GP Management, and grew up in South East London.

Mason confirmed that he had split from model Chloe Wealleans-Watts to Tatler magazine in 2022, following a five-year romance.

Asked about his relationship status, he said: “Football is my priority.”

It sounds like Jordan is his new No1.

Tim’s scored Ad

MOVIE star Timothee Chamalet is a huge football fan, supporting both Chelsea FC and French club AS Saint-Etienne – and now I can reveal he has been signed up by sports giant Adidas to film a huge World Cup ad.

The actor, who is dating Kylie Jenner, shot a top-secret campaign last month in Barcelona alongside Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny, ex of Kylie’s sister Kendall, and British Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham.

A source tells me: “Adidas bosses were chuffed to bring Timothee on to the ad and paid a lucrative fee.

“It is believed the film will drop during the lead-up to the World Cup.”

Timothee has recently been on an epic press tour for his latest flick Marty Supreme, while mostly donning movie merch.

He’ll have to mix that up once the ad drops.

Jossa is strong for family

JACQUELINE JOSSA is determined to start 2026 in strong spirits, despite a probe into online death threats against her.

I revealed last month how the EastEnders actress had been sent menacing messages on social media, and had reported them to her BBC bosses.

But Jac who shares two daughters with husband Dan Osborne, is focusing her energy on her family and work.

A source said: “She trusts the police to investigate. She is not changing her routine and she is still fulfilling her commitments with family and work.

“She is very calm and content in the knowledge the police are dealing with it.”

Jacqueline posted Instagram snaps with the children and Dan in London’s Covent Garden last month.

She wrote: “I love this time of year so much. I love the age the kids are now. They are older but the magic is still here, it’s just different.”

It comes as the actress, who plays Lauren Branning in Albert Square, feared for her character when the soap’s top boss called her in for a meeting last year.

Of the flash-forward episode that aired on New Year’s Day, she said: “It’s always scary when you get called up to a meeting.

It’s either, ‘You’re going to be thrown off the roof of the Vic’ or it’s just a catch-up.”

Leo’s worry

LEONARDO DiCAPRIO says the film industry is “changing at lightning speed”.

The Hollywood star has bemoaned documentaries vanishing from cinemas and the fact viewers prefer to watch on streaming services.

In The Times’ Culture Mag, he added: “Do people still have the appetite?

“Or will cinemas become silos, like jazz bars?”

Tina will Corrie on

CORRIE star Tina O’Brien has signed a new contract keeping her on the cobbles for another year.

The star, who began playing Sarah Platt in 1999, had a tough 2025, splitting from her husband Adam Crofts – father of her son Beau – after seven years of marriage.

Tina who also has daughter Scarlett with her former co-star Ryan Thomas, then revealed in November her beloved dad Steven had died.

A Corrie source said: “Tina had a very difficult 2025, so bosses wanted to reassure her there was nothing to worry about where her job was concerned. She put pen to paper just before the Christmas break.

“Obviously, there have been a lot of changes over the last few months and the last thing they wanted was for her to worry about her role on Corrie.

“She is very much adored on set and her character has got some big things coming up this year.”

Hopefully, 2026 is off to a better start . . .

How Brooklyn Beckham could HUMILIATE dad David by snubbing his Hollywood star ceremony despite living nearby

SIR David Beckham’s Hollywood star ceremony could be overshadowed if son Brooklyn snubs it despite living nearby.

A date is being fixed over the next few months for the Walk of Fame unveiling, less than five miles from the house Brooklyn shares with wife Nicola Peltz.

And things could get awkward — as it comes after he ignored a loving New Year’s message from his football star father amid their ongoing family feud.

A source said: “Brooklyn snubbing David’s special day will be a very public humiliation as he lives in Hollywood.

“Of course, David is hopeful the family will have mended their relations by then, especially after he has offered an olive branch to Brooklyn. The rift has been a great cause of heartache.”

David, 50, was included in the Hollywood Walk of Fame class of 2025 after the success of his Netflix documentary. His engraving will include his title “Sir” after he was knighted by King Charles.

Nominees have two years to schedule their ceremony, and his is set to take place before the summer World Cup in the States.

Other honourees include rockers Green Day, actress Jessica Chastain and ­rapper Busta Rhymes.

On New Year’s Eve, Sir David posted a series of pictures on Instagram showing him with his four children. It included a shot of him and his eldest Brooklyn smiling cheek to cheek, with the caption: “I love you all so much.”

However, he got no response from Brooklyn, 26, who lives with actress Nicola, 30, in an £11.8million villa in Beverly Hills.

Last month, the wannabe chef skipped childhood pal Holly Ramsay’s wedding to swimmer Adam Peaty and spent Christmas with his billionaire in-laws in Miami.

David’s spokeswoman declined to comment.

Holly Ramsay Peaty says ‘there’s so much to share’ after wedding feud as she gushes ‘we’re in our newlyweds bubble’

And now while the pair are on honeymoon, Holly has shared a message to fans.

“In our newlyweds bubble,” she wrote adding: “Full wedding weekend breakdown coming soon! So much to share.”

The couple wed in a stunning Bath Abbey ceremony on December 27 and the brand new bride also revealed the exotic location they are jetting off to – and who has splashed out on the dreamy getaway.

Although they tied the knot shrouded in controversy as a result of the family feud tearing the Peaty clan apart, the couple will be hoping to forget all their troubles on their honeymoon.

Holly Ramsay reveals honeymoon destination with Adam Peaty – and who is paying

In an interview with British Vogue, Holly revealed they will be sunning themselves in Mauritius.

And they haven’t had to pay a single penny.

Instead, her dad Gordon and mum Tana have agreed to fork out for the trip as a wedding present.

Speaking to Vogue, Holly said: “We’re going to Mauritius to just lie by the sea – that was our wedding present from my parents.

“I had to tell Adam we weren’t basing our honeymoon around a 25-metre pool…”

The pair are believed to have headed to the sun-soaked island just days ago and likely welcomed in 2026 there together after being snapped heading to the airport in the UK just days ago.

The lead up to the wedding was full of drama after Adam, 31, disinvited his parents – Caroline and Mark – after his feud with his mum exploded last month when she was not invited to Holly’s hen do.  

The only notable member of his family present was his sister, Bethany.

All of the Ramsay clan turned up for the event with Holly and Adam ensuring that her family took pride of place on the big day.

Earlier this week, it emerged Adam’s aunt Louise texted him moments before he walked into Bath Abbey on Saturday — but he never read it because he has blocked family messages.

Adam went on to acknowledge the pain the bust up has caused during his speech at the couple’s wedding reception at Kin House in Kington Langley, Wilts.

He told how his swim coach Mel Marshall has been “everything”, “grounding and inspiring” him, before adding that she was “like a mum”.

Meanwhile Gordon, 59, delivered a fiery speech of his own, saying his wife Tana “will be a good mum to them both”.

Content creator Holly spoke about a photo showing her and Adam at the ceremony and referenced the speech, saying: “Listening to dad’s speech, looking around the room and feeling overwhelmed with the love and the happiness on our guests’ faces.”

Adam recently appeared to show no signs of offering up an olive branch after he thanked Jesus for everything that had happened in the year – despite the fractious feud.

The sport star appeared grateful for how things had panned out this year – even if it meant falling out with his family.

He shared a quote, which read: “It’s the last day of 2025. Thank you Jesus for everything this year.”

When celeb weddings go wrong

AS celebrity weddings go, few have been more scandal-hit than the nuptials of Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay.

From the bride not inviting her future mother-in-law to her hen do and the Olympian uninviting his family, to Adam’s aunt posting her feelings about the whole tawdry affair online, it has been the showbiz gossip gift that keeps on giving.

And to top it all off, the groom went the full Brooklyn Beckham by changing his name to Adam Ramsay Peaty,

But the marriage of swimmer Adam to Gordon Ramsay’s daughter Holly isn’t the first celeb wedding to be filled with scandal.

From Hollywood bigamy and a bride having to pee in a bucket, to stag do misdemeanours, celebrity weddings have more drama than an Eastenders Christmas special.

Here we take a look at some of the wedding scandals that engulfed some of showbiz’s biggest stars.

Most shocking scandals of 2025…Myleene’s ‘cheat’ riddle to Coldplay cam

Meghan Markle and Prince Harry

The world was thrilled when Prince Harry and American actress Meghan announced their engagement.

But things quickly soured with allegations that Meghan had made Princess Catherine cry over Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress and that the bride was demanding to wear a particular Royal tiara on her big day.

And it was going to go from bad to worse as Meghan’s dad Thomas Markle started to speak to the press.

He was then promptly cut off by his daughter.

In the end the only member of the bride’s family to attend the Royal wedding was Meghan’s mother Doria Ragland – with all the Markles crossed off the guest list.

The King then ended up giving his future daughter-in-law away.

But as we all know the wedding wasn’t the last scandal to hit the newlyweds as they chose to step away from Royal life, flee the UK, and appear to have a strained relationship with the rest of the Royal family.

Brian McFadden and Kerry Katona

The showbiz couple said ‘I do” in a grand ceremony at Slane Castle, Ireland, in 2002.

But behind their glitzy bash, which was said to have cost £100,000, Brian was keeping a secret.

Newlywed Kerry later discovered that her husband had cheated on her with a stripper on his stag do.

The couple divorced after two years together and Kerry later said she was ‘mortified’ by Brian’s infidelity

“I only found out after we got married. The girl he had cheated on me with was a lap dancer and he had made her sign an NDA and paid her 15 grand to keep her mouth shut,” she explained.

Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds

It wasn’t long after tying the knot with Ryan Reynolds that actress Blake Lively found herself having to avert disaster – but not the romantic kind.

Distracted by Florence Welch singing at her reception, it took some time for her to notice that a sparkler had burnt a hole into the front of her one of a kind Marchesa silk gown.

“I look down and my wedding dress has a big burn mark from one of the sparklers. Right on the front! And it was just so heartbreaking to me,” she told Vogue.

But new hubby Ryan turned it into a positive, later telling her the burn was “beautiful” adding: “You’ll always remember that moment with Florence singing and the sparklers. You have that forever, right there, preserved.”

She told Vogue: “Now that’s my favourite part of the dress.”

Bill Wyman and Mandy Smith

When the former Rolling Stone first met Mandy she was just 13 years old and he was 47.

Wyman wrote in his 1990 autobiography: “She took my breath away…she was a woman at thirteen.”

The relationship only became public two-and-a-half years later, when she reached the age of 16.

Despite the controversy around their relationship they wed in 1989 when Mandy was 18.

But she moved out just weeks after the wedding and they divorced two years later.

Even so, the scandal kept on rolling. In 1993, in a bizarre twist, Wyman’s 30-year-old son from his first marriage, Stephen, married Mandy’s mother, Patsy, who was then aged 46. However, they split after two years.

Bethenny Frankel and Jason Hoppy

When you gotta go, you gotta go. And during her 2010 wedding to Jason Hoppy, entrepreneur and TV star Bethenny Frankel got the call of nature that just could not wait.

Frankel, who was seven and a half months pregnant at the time, was wearing a form-fitting gown and could not easily make the trek to a proper bathroom without being seen by guests.

Her wedding planner, Shawn Rabideau, retrieved a silver champagne bucket for her to use. 

So Frankel peed in the bucket while her assistant and her wedding planner held up the dress. 

And the special moment was captured for posterity by the TV cameras for her reality show Bethenny Getting Married.

Britney Spears and Jason Alexander

Fans were shocked when Britney and her childhood friend Jason Alexander tied the knot at the Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas in 2004.

Britney later said she was just ‘drunk and bored’ after a while night out with Alexander.

The horrified Spears team quickly arranged for an annulment, claiming she lacked understanding of her actions, which was granted within 55 hours. 

But the drama would come back to haunt her years later.

On the day of Britney’s 2022 wedding to Sam Asghari, Alexander showed up at her home, livestreaming on Instagram as he tried to “crash” the event.

He was arrested, charged with trespassing, battery, and vandalism, and received a restraining order from Spears. He served around two months in jail.

Liz Taylor and Eddie Fisher

Where do we start with Liz? She is the undisputed queen of weddings having walked down the aisle no less than eight times.

But her most scandalous is undoubtedly her 1959 union with Eddie Fisher who she began an affair with after the death of her husband Mike Todd.

The only problem was that Fisher was still married to Debbie Reynolds.

Then in 1962 Taylor started having an affair with Richard Burton – while still married to Fisher.

Andy Carroll and Billi Mucklow

The footballer was all set to marry TOWIE star Billi in 2022 when photos emerged of Carroll passed out with two women in a Dubai hotel room on his stag do.

Heartbroken Billi promptly whipped off her engagement ring and moved out. 

But the two women involved came forward to say that nothing sexual had occurred and in fact Andy had been a complete gent.

So Billi forgave Andy and they wed at the five-star Four Seasons Hotel in Hampshire.

But their happiness was short-lived and they split in 2024.

Olivier Sarkozy & Mary Kate Olsen

Most brides spend months agonising over the perfect theme, colour scheme and decorations for their big day.

But it seems Mary-Kate Olsen wanted to keep it simple for her wedding to Olivier Sarkozy.

How romantic.

Shania and Frederic turned to each other for support during their marriage breakdowns – and ended up falling in love themselves.

They married on New Year’s Day 2011 – in the ultimate revenge act.

Lily Allen reveals how she and kids are coping with ‘huge changes’ after her split from David Harbour

LILY Allen has opened up on her state of mind and the “huge change” in her family life situation following her split with husband David Harbour.

The popstar candidly told how she had now come out from the other side of a “nervous breakdown” which saw her hospitalised.

Lily, 40, who shares two daughters with first husband Sam Cooper, and endured a bitter split with Stranger Things actor David, 50, last year.

Cheating allegations and a marriage lacking intimacy were allegations levelled at the Netflix actor by Lily, with the former couple starting to negotiate the sale their £6m Brooklyn townhouse.

The marriage breakdown sparked Smile songstress Lily’s first album in seven years.

At the heart of the record is a character called Madeline, who Lily confirmed to the Times is a construct of other people, and the secret relationship she has with a man many are interpreting to be Harbour.

HER CHOICE

Lily Allen admits she ‘can’t remember’ how many abortions she’s had

Now she has opened up on the after effects on her Miss Me? podcast.

She said: “I’ve done quite a lot this year.

“I’ve finished an album, I got a boob job, I had a nervous breakdown, I went into hospital for a bit, I came out, I did some podcasting for a while, then I played one of the hardest tracks in theatre and killed myself (in the role of Hedda Gabler) every night for seven weeks.”

She added of teen daughters Ethel, 14, and Marnie, 13: “My kids are f**king mental at the moment.

“They are really developing their personalities. It’s just a lot.

“There’s a lot of questions.”

Tacitly making reference to the life changes prompted by the split she said: “There’s a lot of change in our lives at the moment

“We’ve changed houses, we’ve changed countries, we’ve changed schools, and it’s a lot.”

The Fear hitmaker added to her show: “The last five years, I’ve been a stay-at-home mum.

“And now I’m a single mum that has to work and suddenly has a lot of work opportunities on my plate and I’m having to travel a lot.”

MARRIAGE SPLIT

Lily previously told how she was suicidal after her marriage split and voluntarily opted to go to rehab.

She has previously been open about her recreational use of drugs and alcohol but she opted to quit the substances six years ago.

It led the star to find her marriage split even more challenging as she wasn’t able to use the substances as a way out.

Lily said: “The feelings of despair that I was experiencing were so strong.

“The last time that I felt anything like that, drugs and alcohol were my way out, so it was excruciating to sit with those [feelings] and not to use them.”

Lily said: “I’ve been into those places before against my will and I feel like that’s progress in itself.

“That’s strength. I knew that the things I was feeling were too extreme to be able to manage, and I was like, ‘I need some time away’.”

Lily married David in 2020 – her second husband following her marriage to the father of her children, builder Sam Cooper.

The LDN hitmaker was married to Sam from 2011-2018 although the relationship was understood to have crumbled sometime before they made their break-up official.

TOUGH TIMES

Lily and David split up in December 2024 and it was later reported he’d had a three-year affair.

David had even made a shock “cheating” joke while doing a tour of their New York City home two years prior.

But the split fuelled the Lily’s huge music comeback, with the toxic fallout playing out on her first album in seven years.

The eye-watering details of her open marriage and split from actor David are seemingly laid bare in the 14-song album.

On the album, Lily took aim at David and claimed how he allegedly ­bedded a woman called “Madeline”.

The track is written as a letter to the woman David had an affair with.

“How long has it been going on? Is it just sex or is there emotion?” Lily sings at one point.

And in the song Tennis, Lily croons:  “So I read your text, and now I regret it.

It has since been revealed that “Madeline” is likely based on Natalie Tippett, a single mum aged 34, from New Orleans, who has strongly denied any affair.

Now she has given her Instagram followers a sneak peek into her festive period with the iconic DJ and their firstborn.

Vick kicked off her image carousel with a snap showing her donning a shimmering gold dress as she sat at a table awaiting a Christmas feast.

She pulled her locks back into a stylish up-do and kept her make-up natural, accessorising with huge gold earrings.

She followed with a tender snap of Micah on her tummy before images showed Summer hitmaker Calvin, 41, picking up their Christmas tree and their tot wearing a ‘my first Christmas’ baby grow.

Snapshots of their family celebrations followed as Calvin was seen sat by the baby in his high chair.

In her caption, Vic wrote: “Twas the season.”

MUM JOURNEY

Back in October, Vick admitted that she’d been covered in “bright yellow s**t” since giving birth.

And addressing a graphic snap of her placenta, posted by hubby Calvin, she joked: “‘It was posted by my husband but placentas are amazing.

“I am keen to celebrate motherhood after what my vagina has done – it’s f***ing majestic. 

“And now you’ve all seen my placenta too!”

The placenta pic was included in a series of snaps he posted, as he announced the birth of his son on Instagram back in August.

The post, which included images of Vick in a birthing pool, had snaps of her placenta with capsules, suggesting they had it encapsulated – an increasingly popular trend.

He wrote in the caption: “20th of July our boy arrived. Micah is here!

“My wife is a superhero and I am in complete awe of her primal wisdom! Just so grateful.

“We love you so much Micah.”

Vick previously posted a series of summer highlights on Instagram and looked radiant as she cradled the couple’s son at the couple’s sprawling Spanish residence.

Calvin bought the stunning 138-acre farm, known as Terra Masia, back in 2022, and the couple spent much of the summer there, with Vick even giving birth in the Ibiza property.

Yet he hinted there could be trouble in paradise as he posted a solo shot to Instagram Stories showing him cuddling his cat.

He was seen snug with the feline – who he shared with ex Zara McDermott, 29 – yet posted the mystery caption: “Starting 2026 as I mean to go on.”

Sam followed up with a red Emoji love heart.

The wording, alongside the snap of solely him and his pet, led some to think he was single – and putting his efforts into his home life.

Yet his fans will no doubt be hoping the romance with glam Talitha remains on track.

His upload came after ex Zara posted a loved-up snap with her man, Louis Tomlinson, after the pair too the huge next step in their relationship.

SAM’S ROMANCE

After months of dating, Sam announced at the beginning of December that he and Talitha had made things “official”.

Speaking to his best pal Pete Wicks on their Staying Relevant podcast, Sam confirmed they had taken their romance to the next level.

He said excitedly: “I’ve got a girlfriend. I’ve got a girlfriend!”

Sam then revealed the moment he asked Talitha out on a dinner date, explaining: “Yeah, I just, I just said, ‘Look, I really like you. I mean, I really, really like you and you make me feel really… comfortable.’”

Continuing, the star said: “You know, I wouldn’t be dating someone this amount of time if I didn’t think it had legs to last.

“So will you be my girlfriend?’ And she said ‘yes’. And so I said, ‘great’”.

In December, the former King of the I’m A Celeb jungle returned from Australia, where he was filming for I’m A Celeb’s spin-off show Unpacked.

And while he was Down Under, new girlfriend Talitha was making herself at home in his £3M Chelsea abode.

Sam also previously introduced Talitha to his sister Louise, her fiancé Ryan, and their son Leo and they shared a picture of the moment.

THE SPLIT

Meanwhile, Sam and his last girlfriend Zara, who appeared on Made In Chelsea together, called time on their romance last December.

The couple spent last Christmas apart, confirming shortly after that they had ended their relationship after “a tough year”.

 A source close to the couple told MailOnline at the time: “Sam and Zara have ended their relationship. It’s been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways, they still care and have a lot of love for each other.”

On their new podcast, Tea With The Twins, Phoebe and Daisy said: “This is a big Christmas this year — it might be our biggest Christmas. Everyone is coming. 

“The new baby this year is Flossy [Lottie’s second child with fiancé Lewis Burton] as she was born in January, so we already have a new member. 

“And we’ve got another new member as our brother’s got a new girlfriend so that will be nice. I think there will be 16 of us in total.” 

A source close to the former One Direction singer and TV presenter confirmed they would be together for Christmas. They added: “Louis and Zara are still totally in the honeymoon period and try not to be apart for too long. 

“Their relationship is serious, it’s not a flash in the pan. It’s going the distance. 

Zara gets on so well with Louis’ family, especially his sisters, so he wanted her to be there with them, celebrating. 

“They’ve both had work commitments recently so they’re looking forward to spending proper quality time together.” 

Our mole added: “As it’s Louis’ birthday on Christmas Eve, the plan is for Zara to spend that with him and then Christmas Day with the Tomlinsons. After that they will go and see Zara’s family. 

“They both love their families so much, it is something that attracted them to each other, so it will be a Christmas to remember.”

Holly Ramsay & Adam Peaty spend HUGE sum on gifts for each of their 200 wedding guests

WEDDING row couple Adam Peaty and Holly Ramsay gifted 200 guests a £190-a-pop engraved bottle of tequila and commemorative t-shirt.

The generous duo spent around £40,000 on the presents to thank invitees for their “love and support”.

They felt indebted to those who attended their nuptials for sustaining them amid the bitter feud which led to most of the Olympian’s family being banned.

The Sun can also reveal the touching service details at Bath Abbey, where they tied the knot on December 27.

Hymns included Come Down O Love Divine and one of the readings was Psalm 127, which tells of the blessings of children – a hint that the couple are keen to start their own family.

‘Incredibly generous’

A source told The Sun: “Holly and Adam were incredibly generous to their guests, lavishing them all with a bottle of tequila embossed their own initials.

WEDDY TO RUMBLE

Adam Peaty & Holly’s wedding war with his family to feature in Netflix show


made waves

How Adam Peaty ‘stuck dagger in the heart of ex-friend’ amid bitter fallout

“And guests were also presented with a cute t-shirt, showing the couple driving in a car and waving in glee as they start their life journey together.

“The t-shirt had the date of the wedding on it and was a wonderful memento for everyone.

“The bride and groom really pushed the boat out. No matter the turbulence behind the scenes they wanted the wedding to be perfect. And it was.”

The Sun told how proud father of the bride Gordon Ramsay told guests he’d spent £50,000 on flowers for their big day.

And we revealed how the TV chef waded into the family feud in a fiery speech – insisting his wife would now be Mum to both newlyweds.

Gordon stunned guests when he addressed the furore head on, and slated his son-in-law’s parents.

He said his missus Tana is an “amazing Mum” – adding he can’t say the same about Adam’s parents.

But he said of the happy couple: “Tana will be a good mum to them both.”

In an emotional speech to 200 guests at the celebrity couple’s wedding feast, Gordon had another sly dig at Adam’s estranged folks.

Gordon gushed how “beautiful” his daughter and wife Tana looked – pointing out to Adam he was a “lucky man”.

He addressed his son-in-law: “Look at Tana and that’s what you have to look forward to.”

Then the chef turned to bride Holly and added: “Shame you don’t have the same.”

He lovingly mocked his daughter’s expensive tastes – calling her easily the “most expensive” of his four kids.

Gord had the crowd in hysterics as he revealed how at a young age Holly worked out how to attach his credit card to her Apple pay.





Holly has always wanted to do Vogue, so this is a coup for her.

And the guests roared as he joked how his three other children will have to get married in a registry office due to the extortionate cost of the wedding flowers alone.

Gordon teased his daughter about their Bath Abbey wedding ceremony, laughing at how, “only Holly could pick the most beautiful church and choose to cover its stunning windows in white roses”.

The Sun revealed how stunning Holly – who wore a bridal cape over her wedding dress as she arrived and left the ceremony at Bath Abbey – will be showing the dress off in Vogue magazine, published on New Year’s Day.

A source added: “Holly has always wanted to do Vogue, so this is a coup for her.”

In his own speech at the glittering reception, thrilled groom Adam subtly acknowledged the pain caused by the bitter bust-up with his own family.

He poignantly turned to Mel Marshall, 43, his ex-swimming coach who has acted as his surrogate parent during his dazzling career.

Tearful Adam gushed how Mel has been “everything” to him – “grounding” him and “inspiring” him in recent years. And after an emotional pause the sportsman added she was, “like a Mum”.

Tellingly Adam thanked everyone for their “support”, adding how it has been a “difficult time”.

The bride had guests dabbing their eyes in emotion after wearing two outfits at their extravagant reception at plush Kin House in Kington Langley, Wilts.

One was her mother’s wedding gown when Tana tied the knot with Gordon in 1996.

A DJ announced the special tribute, sparking a spontaneous round of applause from thrilled onlookers.

Among the guests were David and Victoria Beckham – close pals of the Ramsays – and the A-lister couple danced the night away with all the other guests.

Mobile phones were banned throughout, with guests forced to put them in pouches.

Everyone invited to the nuptials was forced to wear a wristband, embossed with the bride and groom’s initials, to ensure security staff knew they were not interlopers.





I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still.


Adam’s aunt Louise

And a wedding gift list included a £1,450 green egg outdoor cooker.

The couple also invited guests to buy them a £995 mahogany table, £800 chair and footstool, and £450 log storage bin.

Adam, who turned 31 yesterday, and Holly, 25, banned his loved ones, including his mum Caroline, dad Mark and brothers James and Richard.

The family were left even more distraught amid claims Mark was told by the swimmer’s sister Beth before Christmas he could attend, but had to sit at the back of the church.

Beth was the only member of his family in attendance. She was a maid of honour alongside Holly’s sisters.

Adam had disinvited his great-aunt Janet and her husband Eddie just days before the wedding.

‘Her soul screams’

Adam’s aunt Louise, who was also not invited to the wedding, sent him a message moments before he walked into the abbey with his five-year-old son George, from a previous relationship.

She wrote: “I hope you never suffer the depth of pain you have put your mother through and despite it all she loves you still. Shame on you both. Shame.

“Remember on this, your happiest day, and on each anniversary of your happiest day, that you hurt your mum so deeply her soul screams.”

But a source close to the Ramsays revealed to The Sun that Adam has blocked all of his estranged family – so didn’t receive or read the message.

His family were further enraged when he publicly changed his social media profiles after the ceremony to add ‘Ramsay’ to his surname.

Adam’s mum had intended to watch the wedding from the street, despite being disinvited, but decided against it.

Their feud exploded after she was not invited to Holly’s hen do.

It then escalated when Adam later called cops after his brother James allegedly made threats via text while was on the groom’s stag do.

Age-defying Heidi Klum, 52, shows off curves in gold bikini on Caribbean holiday with toyboy husband, 36

HEIDI Klum is up to her gold tricks as she takes a dip in the sea in a shiny bikini.

The 52-year-old model was pictured enjoying the sun, sea and sand in the Caribbean island of St Barts.

She was also seen holding hands with her musician husband Tom Kaulitz, 36.

Kaulitz is a German musician who has been dating Heidi since March 2018.

The pair were first spotted together on 14 March leaving Delilah in West Hollywood.

Last month, The Sun told how Heidi and fellow model Stella Maxwell took a pet dog for walkies on the catwalk.

SILVER SIRENS

HELLO HEIDI!

The pair were both glammed up in silver while strutting with Stella’s pet Trip, a chihuahua terrier mix.

They were on set filming for Germany’s Next Topmodel series in LA.

Heidi wore a plunging gown with a see-through skirt, while Stella, 35, was in a slashed minidress.

Stella calls Trip her “most treasured possession”.

A week previously, Heidi changed tack and joined forces with Robbie Williams at the World Cup 2026 draw in Washington DC.

She donned two different dresses, switching up from a red sparkling number to a black blouse and diamante skirt.

She hosted the World Cup draw alongside comedian Kevin Hart and actor Danny Ramirez at the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington DC.

And the supermodel, who previously took part in the 2006 tournament draw in her native Germany, was among the first names on the red carpet.

As Heidi switched into a third dress for the actual draw ceremony – this being a glittering gold number – things seemingly went downhill.

The celeb stories we COULDN’T tell you this year… from the newlyweds cheating with the same man to nude photo scandal

OUR team of intrepid showbiz reporters have brought you all the latest on the Brooklyn Beckham saga, blow by blow accounts of JoJo Siwa dumping her girlfriend for Chris Hughes and we broke the news about Danny Jones kissing Maura Higgins to name just a few astonishing showbiz scoops from 2025.

But while we’ve been filling the paper and gracing the internet with story after story, there’s actually been A LOT we haven’t told you… until now.

Chris Hughes and JoJo Siwa’s romance was one of the biggest surprises of 2025Credit: Instagram
Maura Higgins’ close relationship with Danny Jones also hit the newsCredit: Splash

We may not be able to name names. but we CAN give you all the dirty secrets the stars definitely don’t want you to know… Prepare to be shocked.

A SCARY TYPE OF LOVE 

We shook our heads in disbelief when we were told all a Love Islander had a violent criminal family member.

No wonder her boyfriend was scared to dump her despite seeming completely over her as their romance hit the rocks. Once he’d heard about the jailed man’s crimes, he’d be scared to upset her.

GUILTY GIFT 

One huge reality star managed to keep the details of an explosive breakup with her ex under wraps.

It’s known that she cheated on her former flame before their split, but what remains secret is that the person she cheated with was married, and their affair sparked a very messy divorce. Worse still, the star was gifted a Rolex from her lover… which belonged to his wife.

2025 was full of celeb rows – some to risky to be mentioned

HOT AND STEAMY

One former I’m A Celebrity star has been using the sauna at a well known private members club for their illicit hookups.

Fellow members are thought to have been shocked when they spotted him, but have quickly got used to his steamy antics. 

THEY’VE GOT THE SAME TYPE

These two TV stars appeared blissfully happy when they got wed but we were told they were both having it off with the same bloke before the big day.

Affairs are nothing new but it turns out these two had no idea they were copping off with the same person. When that gossip finally filters back, we expect divorce papers to be drawn up pretty fast.

MONEY TALKS

Tis the season to be jolly, but we can reveal a well known BBC star turned into a real life Grinch after attending an Uber Xmas party where guests were given one box containing an uber code.

After making full use of the free bar this person proceeded to nab the lot and hastily open them all in the lift…

NOT SURE PICTURE PERFECT

Our jaws hit the floor when we were told all about the well-loved female BBC star who showed an explicit and unwanted picture of a penis to a junior member of staff.

The woman, who ranked among the Corporation’s top 50 highest paid this year, asked the junior member of staff about her preferences and then showed her a nude image on her mobile phone.

But her actions were considered so offensive that the female talent was called in by execs and asked to apologise.

One celeb’s dad took it a bit too far at the wedding

PARTY POOPER

It’s not just celebs who haven’t been on their best behaviour this year. The father of one very well-known bride caused a scene at her wedding by getting smashed and being inappropriate with female guests.

He spent the rest of the next day hungover and phoning round everyone apologising. 

REALITY BITES

One reality star was shouting from the roof tops when she got a new man this year.

But when the latest love of her life didn’t turn up for her birthday party, she wasted no time in hopping into bed with her ex – that very same night. And her new bloke is still none the wiser. 

There were a few surprise hook ups along the way

TELLING TALES

Celebs will do anything to keep themselves out of the news  – like the TV star who was caught getting up to no good in the toilet. Let’s just say she looked a little too familiar with a little bag of white stuff.

She begged for her secret to be kept hidden and offered up some scandal on another star, one of her pals, instead. No wonder they say keep your enemies closer. 

We couldn’t believe some of the stories we were told this year

Zoe Ball lifts lid on new mystery ‘lover’

ZOE Ball has lifted the lid on the mystery man she recently moved into her home and candidly revealed what she finds “sexy” about her partner.

The TV and radio legend, 55, shared intimate details about how smell plays a key role in her relationships.

Listeners claimed Jo Whiley ‘wanted to agree’ but ‘wasn’t quite sure’

During a conversation on her Dig It podcast with co-host Jo Whiley, Zoe admitted: “Sniffing pits is sexy though.

“I’ve often had this thing, when I’ve been sort of dating someone, I love smelling their armpits.”

Acknowledging that her view may divide opinion, she went on to explain: “I know it sounds weird.

“But if you love someone, you’ve got to love all their smells, not necessarily their bathroom smells.

“I draw a line at that. 

“But there’s something about armpit smells that I think are really sexy!”

Zoe – who has been tipped to take over as the host of Strictly – described how she reacts when reunited with her partner after time apart.

She added: “My favourite thing to often do is sometimes, especially if I’ve not seen my lover for a while, is when they’ve got their arms around you, I’m like sniffing in the armpits, and I get a right odd look. 

“I’m like, ‘I like that smell!’ It’s a good smell.”

Zoe also revealed a bed washing habit she sticks to when her partner is away, admitting: “I have a thing that if my partner goes away, I don’t like to wash the bed until they get back. 

“A, because I’m worried they might not come back, and B, I love the smell. I love the smell of them on the pillows.”

Zoe also said she knows when her attraction fades, adding: “If you go off someone, you know you’ve gone off them if they suddenly, the smells you used to love about them starts to smell a bit funky. You’re like, nah, it’s gone.

“It’s gone because you got to love all their smells.”

The comments divided some listeners who watched a clip of the conversation on Instagram.

One said: “Depends how long since the last wash!”

Another simply penned: “Nope.”

However, a third said: “Hahaha, Jo’s face!! She wants to agree, but she’s not quite sure.”

And another confessed:  “I do that lol! I know exactly where you are coming from. so good to know I’m not the only armpit sniffer.”

It comes just weeks after Zoe confirmed she has changed her living arrangements and moved a man she previously referred to as “The Lodger” into her home. 

Zoe’s last public relationship was with construction worker Michael Reed, which ended in 2023.

The Sun also revealed in June that Zoe had found love again.

She was spotted holding hands with her mystery man at Glastonbury.

A-list actress reveals she gave now husband relationship ultimatum over his bizarre food habit

ACTRESS Keira Knightley says she almost ditched now-husband James Righton because he ate only cheese on toast.

The Love Actually star had to give the Klaxons singer, 42, an ultimatum.

Keira, 40, said: “He just couldn’t cook — all he ate was cheese on toast.

“I was like, ‘This is not going to work’. He wouldn’t even go out for dinner. He didn’t understand going to restaurants. He was bizarre.”

Keira said she managed to persuade him to test dishes with his eyes shut.

She added: “My oldest friend is a proper old-school bon viveur, we basically trained him.

“We took him out to restaurants and he wouldn’t try anything. He was like a child. He used to shut his eyes, and we’d be like, ‘Try it, try it!’.”

Keira, who wed James in 2013, told the Dish podcast: “He’d be like ‘OK, it’s nice, it’s nice!’.”

Knightley revealed earlier this month that she has only watched her Christmas classic film Love Actually once — and has forgotten all her lines, she says.

The Brit says she is unable to recall them when asked by fans of the hit 2003 romcom because she has a “delete button” in her head.

She was only 17 when she starred as newlywed Juliet who discovers her husband’s best pal Mark, played by Andrew Lincoln, is secretly in love with her.

The story revolves around his crush and in one scene he confesses his feelings using cue cards on her doorstep.

Ultimately, she stays with her new husband Peter, played by Chiwetel Ejiofor.

Helen Flanagan opens up on daughter’s ‘difficult’ reaction to split from ex

HELEN Flanagan has opened up on a “difficult” fallout from her split with her ex that impacts her relationship with her daughter Matilda.

The former Coronation Street actress, 35, took to her Instagram page to give an insight into her state of mind after her children returned from their Christmas stay with Scott Sinclair.

In her frank video Helen, who starred as the Wicked Queen in Liverpool’s Snow White panto through the festive season, began by stating that she now had her kids back.

Her three children Matilda, 10, Delilah, seven, and Charlie, four had all been spending Christmas with their father Scott, 36.

Helen said: “What I find probably the most difficult is probably with Maltida because I feel like she’s the eldest.

“Me and her Dad broke up when she was seven.

“I feel like Delilah is just so oblivious she doesn’t care, Charlie doesn’t care he was one.

“But Matilda is sensitive and she takes everything very much in and every single time that I get her back, she’s in a mood with me.

“She’s really moody, she’s got attitude, she’s really sassy and it’s just expected because I know it’s what it’s like.

“And I think it’s almost like she feels like I’m kind of disowning her in a way when I’ve not got her and it’s not.

“Regardless of mine and her Dad’s relationship I always want her to have a relationship with her father because I think that’s good for her.

“And regardless of everything that goes on, I always tell her that her Dad loves her and that she must love her Dad.

“It’s totally separate.”

This comes weeks after Helen publicly slated her ex Scott Sinclair for skipping their son’s Christmas nativity.

The mum-of-three lashed out online at the Bristol Rovers footballer after he posted about spending a weekend in Abu Dhabi at the Grand Prix instead.

Scott had posted snaps from his weekend in the United Arab Emirates where he watched Lando Norris secure his maiden Drivers’ Championship title.

“What a weekend-Abu Dhabi F1,” Scott wrote.

He added: “Happy Days, blurry nights..”

“You really are a piece of s***,” Helen raged, as she shared Scott’s Instagram post.

“How dare you not turn up to Charlie’s nativity.”

Meanwhile Helen posted a snap of her cuddling their son, writing: “Loved Charlie’s nativity. My star, my heartbeat.”

The Coronation Street star split from her ex-fiancé Scott in 2022 after 13 years together.

She recently hinted at trouble “co-parenting” with Scott, telling The Sun: “He lives like Somerset and I live in Lancashire. So we live so far away from each other, which is really difficult when you’ve got three young children.

“I hate calling it co-parenting because I don’t really feel like a co-parent to be honest with you anyway.”

She recently took to her social media pages to praise her mum for her support in raising their brood.

“My mum’s incredible,” Helen said.

“She really helps me bring up my children really. I’m very lucky to have that support.”

ARIANA GETS A GRANDE HOTEL

ARIANA GRANDE seems to be planning a Wicked time during her rumoured West End stint — including a £1million hotel stay.

I hear the US singer and actress, who is tipped to star in a revival of hit musical Sunday In The Park With George, has included accommodation at the 5H Mandarin Oriental among conditions for her potentially taking the role.

Penthouses at the Hyde Park hotel start from £40,000 a night.

The three-bedroom suite is almost 5,000sq ft, with a walk-in wardrobe and grandstand private terrace.

If the play runs for six weeks, Ariana’s hotel bill would run to more than £1million.

Fans believe she is set to star in a revival of Stephen Sondheim’s 1984 musical Sunday In The Park With George at London’s Barbican Centre in 2027.

If so, she would line up alongside Jonathan Bailey, who played her Wicked character Glinda’s love interest.

A source said: “Ariana wants to stay at the Mandarin when she stars in the play.

“She really appreciates her downtime when she is working on productions and is a huge fan of the hotel.

“Ariana loves London and believes that the Mandarin Oriental has the city’s best views.”

Meanwhile she is nominated for Best Supporting Actress in Wicked: For Good at the Golden Globes in January.

She will then start her The Eternal Sunshine Tour in June, in Oakland, California, to support her album of the same name.

Sounds like she deserves some five-star R&R.

GET READY FOR A HARRY NEW YEAR

Naturally, this Christmas was set to be one to remember, with Sophie pulling out all the stops to make sure the holidays were extra special.

Proud husband Jamie shared a video of the effort Sophie went to for Christmas dinner, calling her “superwoman” on Instagram with an inside look at what she’d been getting up to.

He wrote on the video itself: “POV: your wife is three weeks pregnant and still creates a magical Christmas”.

Jamie Laing & Sophie Habboo reveal things that surprised them about parenthood

Now, Sophie has given an even more intimate look at what their festive season has consisted off, sharing a string of photographs of both her and Jamie cuddled up to Ziggy.

Among them, the new family were seen posing in front of their Christmas tree, taking selfies in their hallway mirror, and posing with their entire family.

Others showed Jamie in dinosaur pyjamas with Ziggy asleep on his chest, the red and green decor around their house, and Sophie hard at work in the kitchen as she got dinner ready.

“Christmas 2025! The best yet ❤️” she wrote.

Fellow Made in Chelsea star Rosie Fortescue led the celebrations of the pair, writing: “Too divine for words ♥️♥️♥️”

Jedward added: “Awww beautiful here’s to the new adventure”, while influencer Holly-Evelyn added: “Absolutely stunning!! Merry Christmas and congratulations ❤️”

The happy couple revealed back in June they were set to expand their family and have been keeping fans updated ever since.

Their podcast – first called Nearly Weds before being renamed Newly Weds – was rebranded again to become Nearly Parents in celebration.

Both have been praised for being brutally honest with their experience as upcoming parents, with Sophie sharing her health ups and downs as well as their shared excitement and fear over what lies ahead.

Following Ziggy’s birth, the pair treated themselves to a £14,000 a week baby retreat at Tenth Wellness at The Mandarin Hotel in central London to unwind and adjust at their own pace.

Described online as the “UK’s leading postpartum wellness destination”, a single night in one of their locations costs a whopping £2k.

The hotel includes a spacious, salubrious, on-site nursery that’s run by top-of-the-line nurses, with massage therapists and beauty technicians on hand to treat mum.

Packages additionally include optional lessons in all areas of postpartum care, including daily educational group classes, a lactation consultant session, and incision aftercare.
