“I’m enjoying being single, but I do have nights where I think: ‘Wouldn’t it be nice to have someone to cosy into?’” she told us.
“However, I know it sounds cliched and corny, but I have all I need at home with my family.”
Una’s decision to stay single comes after a string of very public heartbreak.
Una’s romance with David Haye hit the headlinesCredit: InstagramUna denied she was ever in a ‘throuple’ with Sian and DavidCredit: Instagram
The singer’s six-yearmarriageto rugby star Ben Foden ended in 2018.
It came after the shattering discovery that he had cheated on a night out with rugby pals in February 2015, days after the birth of their son Tadhg, now ten.
The sports star then shocked fans whenhe wed his second wife Jackie, just TWO days after hisdivorcefrom Una was finalised.

The rumour mill went into overdrive when she was snapped in her bikini on holiday standing next to the boxer, with his wife Sian on the other side.
It was widely reported that the three had started a “throuple” romance, something which Una has STRONGLY denied.
In an interview with the My Therapist Ghosted Mepodcast in May 2023, Una said: “I’m a monogamous person, hopefully I will settle down again one day with a nice monogamous man.”
She also claimed that when she first met Haye on a dating app, he told her he didn’t “believe that traditional relationships exist anymore.”
She added: “He was honest that I wasn’t the only woman he was seeing. I was very aware that he was seeing other people.
“I was like, ‘I’m out. This isn’t for me. He can have whoever he wants’. One will never be enough for him.”
The star has also dated jockey Aidan Coleman and Irish singer Darren Flynn.
Despite wanting to embrace single life, Una has dipped her toe into the dating app pool, and even signed up to the celebrity site, Raya.
“Sometimes I think I would like that person, but I’m not gonna settle for anyone,” she told us.
“I went on and off Raya a few times – it was like fishing in a swamp. I’m working hard on myself, I’m not looking at all. As my friend says, ‘I am gonna attract, not chase.’”

As she agreed, he then expanded: “He was driven crazy by the idea that Amber might be sleeping with you.”
“Am I meant to comment?” replied Cara.
She continued: “It’s because we did a movie together, and it was called London Fields. He was also doing the movie.
“I think he was pretty driven crazy by jealousy. Nothing was happening at that point. Later, after they divorced, it had, I suppose.
“You suppose?” quizzed Louis.
Cara confirmed: “No, I don’t suppose. I know. Yeah.”
As Louis questioned whether the relationship was “an entanglement?”, Cara struggled to find the right words to describe the historic romance.
Louis expanded on the phrase entanglement as he said: “I think it means a relatively short-lived liaison or series of physical encounters.”
Cara confirmed: “We were close for a long time, and then when they were going through the divorce, yeah, we were entangled, I suppose.
“But she was also entangled with other people.”
“Well, with Elon,” interjected Louis as he referenced Amber’s on/off romance with Elon Musk, which is thought to have taken place from 2016 until 2018.
Cara confirmed: “There you go.”
Following her highly publicised legal disputes with ex-husband Johnny in 2022, Amber relocated to Spain for a more quiet life with her daughter, Oonagh Paige.
HARRY Styles is looking at New Orleans for his wedding to Zoe Kravitz, it can be revealed.
Pals close to the loved-up pair say they think the Southern US town could be a special spot to tie the knot and have researched venues.

Zoe’s famous musician dad Lenny Kravitz has long-standing roots in the town after buying his first home in the Louisiana town, which has deep ties to the blues music scene.
Back at home, the One Direction star, 32, and US actress, 37, this weekend enjoyed London’s heatwave and were snapped cuddling on a picnic blanket on Hampstead Heath.
They confirmed their engagement to close family and friends in April.
A source said: “Harry and Zoe might have a string of celebrity friends and a Hollywood lifestyle but their wedding won’t be like that.
“Zoe’s family ties to New Orleans, plus the town’s musical history, is making it a front runner and they’ve told pals that they’re looking at options for holding their big day there.”
Rock icon Lenny bought his first home in New Orleans in 1994 – a Creole cottage on Dauphine Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a block away from the town’s famous Bourbon Street.
Whilst Zoe grew up in Los Angeles with her mother Lisa Bonet, in her teenage years she spent more time with Lenny at his Miami estate and New Orleans cottage.

Ex-One Direction singer Harry and Zoe, who played Catwoman in The Batman, have dated since August last year.
They went public with their relationship in Rome but have since kept matters private and not commented on their status.
Harry is said to have popped the question with a ring worth up to £500,000 and first sparked engagement rumours when he and Zoe flew to the Bahamas just after Christmas to stay in her dad’s home there.
A source said at the time: “If it wasn’t an engagement, then it was something that shows they are very much committed to each other.”
“That’s how I attracted her, which I think is illegal now,” he told The Times.

The star continued: “I rang her up and said, ‘Hello, it’s me,’ and she put the phone down – she thought it was somebody playing a cruel trick.”
He called again and was made to prove his identity.
Numan invited her along for a drive for a radio interview – where they had their first date.
He said: “I took her to a Little Chef because I’m very down to earth.

“I don’t do all that flash, rich man, pop star stuff.”
Gary and Gemmadidn’t start their relationship until she was in her twenties.
In 1997, Gary married superfan Gemma from Sidcup and they share three daughters; Raven, 23, Persia, 21, and 19-year-old Echo.
His daughter Persia also added vocals to his song My Name Is Ruin.
Numan revealed that Gemma once told a career advisor: “I won’t need a job. I’m going to marry Gary Numan.”
Gary previously said of their relationship: “This is going to sound corny, given that it’s 30 years and four days since our first date, but I miss her even when she’s in a different part of the house.
“She’s everything I am not – which is most things, really.”
The singer, songwriter – who has an estimated net worth of around £5.5 million – toured last year to celebrate the 45th anniversary of his seminal album Telekon.
Sadly, he suffered the traumatic loss of his beloved younger brother John just after his show in Leeds – which he called the ‘worst news of my life’.
ROCK legend Jack White is heading for divorce court after wife Olivia Jean made explosive claims about their whirlwind marriage in newly filed legal documents.
Singer-songwriter Olivia accused her rocker husband of “inappropriate marital conduct” in the shocking divorce filing.

The docs were submitted on June 3, with Olivia marking that same date as the couple’s official split after three years of marriage, TMZ first reported.
In the petition, she claimed Jack’s alleged behavior made “further cohabitation unsafe and improper,” though no additional details were outlined.
Olivia is also seeking spousal support, saying she relies on Jack financially to cover her bills, and has asked that she remain on his life insurance policy as the divorce moves forward.
The breakup marks the end of a wild relationship that played out as dramatically as it began.
Jack, 50, and Olivia, 36, infamously got engaged and married onstage in April 2022 during one of his concerts at Detroit’s Masonic Temple – in front of a stunned and confused crowd.
The spontaneous ceremony came after the pair performed The White Stripes hit Hotel Yorba together, with Jack dropping to one knee mid-show before a minister walked onstage moments later.
Their relationship had a long history far before the wedding bells rang.
Olivia, who signed to Jack’s Third Man Records in 2009, first met him through the music industry.

She fronted gothic garage-rock band The Black Belles and later built a solo career while remaining close to Jack professionally.
The pair kept much of their romance under wraps, with Olivia later revealing they were friends for years before becoming a couple.
As for Jack’s personal life, the split adds another chapter to his famously complicated romantic history.
The rocker was first married to Meg White from 1996 to 2000 – and famously took her last name, which he still uses professionally.

Even after divorcing, the pair continued performing together in The White Stripes and publicly maintained for years that they were siblings rather than ex-spouses.
He later married model and singer Karen Elson in 2005.
Their split in 2011 appeared amicable – so much so they threw a “divorce party” to celebrate the end of their marriage.
The exes share two children together: Scarlett and Henry.
Known for fiercely guarding his private life, the typically recluse Jack has rarely spoken publicly about his relationships, often insisting his music should speak louder than his personal drama.
Jack has not yet spoken out about Olivia’s claims but if his past is any indicator, he may once again let the music do the talking.
LIAM Payne’s ex Kate Cassidy has revealed she’s been “dumped” by her new man over “anger” issues – just two weeks after going official.
The influencer, 27, admitted in April that she felt “ready to start dating again” before sharing a video of her being swept off of her feet by a man.

But it looks like the new romance is over as she took to TikTok to share a relationship update.
Kate told her followers: “I got broken up with, I got dumped you guys.
“I’ve been super MIA online here about my updated dating situation going on, that is because I recently met someone.
“I feel like things were moving super fast kind of, if you know me, you know I have a tendency of moving fast.
“Let’s just name this guy Joe. Joe was really sweet and I feel like he was kind of like a lot of things I wanted in a guy.
“He’s really super low-key, he doesn’t have any social media which I actually really liked. I met his family, he took me on a trip, things were going really well, really quick.
“I f****d up. Dating after losing somebody that you genuinely thought you were going to spend the rest of your life with is really tough because I physically look for Liam in every single guy that I meet,” she bravely admitted.
“If they don’t hit all the check marks, I tend to either back away or almost resent this person and it’s so crazy.
She previously shared a video that said “when you know you know”Credit: TikTokA man was seen sweeping her off her feetCredit: TikTok
“There were certain times where I would get so angry with this guy because I physically would be like, ‘oh Liam would do this so why aren’t you doing this?’
“Or he would do something and I would be like, ‘Liam would never do that, why are you doing that?’
“He texted me yesterday and we should go our separate ways because it’s just too much and I understand,” Kate explained.
“I feel sad because I don’t like losing people and I feel like especially in the beginning of a situationship, it’s so fun and you’re so excited to see where it goes.”
Her TikTok followers rallied around her in the comments section and offered her support as she continues to live without Liam.
One person wrote: “The whole point of the dating journey after losing someone is to learn and understand your feelings.
“You won’t always compare every guy to Liam, and you’re learning that as you go along.”
Another social media user penned: “I didn’t know you were actually dating someone, I’m so sorry you got broken up with though, you will find the one someday!”

Somebody else said: “Liam would be proud of you for putting yourself out there again. I’m sure all he wanted was for you to be loved the right way and someone will come along who will do that again.”
While a fourth added: “Your heart isn’t ready yet. Don’t blame yourself. He wasn’t the one.”
Earlier this month, Kate shared a video of herself walking into a lavish event while donning a blue silk gown.
A handsome man in a suit walked beside her and put his arm around her before lifting her up and into his arms.
Twirling her around, the man held on tightly to Kate as she beamed from ear to ear.
“I love having a crush,” she penned in the caption of the post.
Meanwhile, over the top of the video, Kate wrote: “When you know you know.”
The content creator was in a relationship with the One Direction star before his tragic death at the age of 31 in October 2024.
They were together for two years and first met in South Carolina in the Autumn of 2022.
The pair were holidaying together two days before Liam’s fatal fall at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
JUST two weeks ago, Tina O’Brien was waxing lyrical about going on her first solo holiday as she embraced single life for the first time in years.
It turned out to be rather short-lived, though, as yesterday the Corrie star was spotted kissing a hunky new man in the street. Now, insiders tell us why her latest fling – with Irish TikToker Rory Martin – has sparked concern amongst her inner circle, who fear her new beau might have an ulterior motive.
Pals are concerned about the intentions of Tina O’Brien’s new manCredit: Eamonn & James ClarkeRory Martin is thought to have dated Una Healey last yearCredit: Instagram
Our insider said: “Tina was genuinely trying to enjoy some time on her own after her recent split, but she has really fallen for Rory’s Irish charm.
“Rory is no stranger to hanging out with famous women – he was linked to Una Healey last year and has gained a bit of a reputation for being a ladies’ man.
“He loves TikTok fame and will really be enjoying the attention he’ll be getting off the back of dating Tina.
“It’s worrying for her friends, because they don’t want to feel like she is being used.
“Tina is someone who loves love and enjoys being caught up in the whirlwind of it all, and they just don’t want her to rush into anything.”
While her last ex, Adam Fadle, disliked the limelight, Rory, in contrast, is said to be very taken with her high profile.
We’re told Tina now lives in a very well-known area where paps often frequent, so it’s unlikely to have come as a surprise to her that they were photographed.
It’s thought Tina, 42, actually met Rory, 30, through her daughter, 17-year-old Scarlett, who she shares with ex Ryan Thomas.
They are said to have connected through the music world. Rory also dabbles in singing and guitar playing, as well as doing social media.
He also works for the ambulance service – but is believed to be in the call centre rather than working as a paramedic, as his social media would suggest.
Our source continued: “People think Rory is some kind of sexy paramedic, but the reality is much less glamorous.
“He really plays up to it in his social media because he knows his thirst traps in his uniform attract both women and men to him.”
Last June, Rory surprised fans by posting a video of him singing with Saturday’s star Una in a kitchen.
We’re told the pair were casually dating for some time and really enjoyed making music together.
Tina’s new romance comes seven months on from her splitting from her millionaire boyfriend Adam Fadle, whom she met in Cheshire following her move there.

The actress, who is known for playing Sarah Platt on the Cobbles, is thought to have been single since her split from millionaire businessman Adam.
At the time, we revealed that it was interior designer Adam who ended things with the star. Rather than being taken with her glam life in the public eye, we’re told it ended up being a huge turn-off for him.
Our insider said: “He was the one who wanted out and ended it. In a brutal swipe, he said it ended up being like something out of a Coronation Street storyline.”
That relationship was hot on the heels of the end of her marriage to personal trainer Adam Crofts. They got together just four months after it ended.
Tina and Adam Crofts were married for six years and share a son, Beau, together.
Tina also, of course, has her daughter from her relationship with her former Corrie co-star Ryan Thomas.
Her romance with Ryan lasted from 2003 to 2009, with the pair’s very public split fraught and involving a number of public spats.

Most recently, the pair have been navigating their daughter’s burgeoning singing and social media career together.
While Ryan has fully embraced that world, Tina’s had a love-hate relationship with social media over the years, vowing to take a break from Instagram in 2020 after calling the site “toxic” and admitting she felt like a “fraud” trying to present a “filtered version” of her life to gain validation.
But six years on, things are completely different, and she has big plans for the future after signing up to an agency – Alpha Talent Group – which will be helping her land a series of brand partnerships.
While Tina is set to branch out on socials, fans shouldn’t expect to see her all over TikTok, like Scarlett and her dad Ryan and his brothers Adam and Scott Thomas are.
Our source previously explained: “She won’t be doing cringe TikTok trends, but there are some exciting brand deals on the horizon.
“And don’t be surprised if she steps out of her comfort zone and does some reality TV – she did Strictly over a decade ago and feels like she wants the public to see her personality.”
And dating another social media star, who has half a million followers on TikTok, is probably not a bad place to start.
AFTER quitting smoking years ago, Rachel Stevens was spotted in a rare relapse as she puffed on a cigarette on a recent trip to London.
While many a celeb has been caught giving in to their smoking urges, the image is a far cry from her “clean girl” Instagram aesthetic and carefully curated social media, and Insiders tell The Sun that the cheeky cig-break is only a glimpse of the real Rachel, who has hidden behind her S Club 7 persona for years.

One source close to the singer says: “People have always had this perception of Rachel as the ultimate girl-next-door. She’s sweet, wholesome, polite and completely drama-free, but the truth is she’s always been far more complex than that.”
“Rachel has spent years carrying the weight of an image that was created when she joined the band aged just 19, and while she appreciated the love from fans, there were times when she felt trapped by the expectations.”
Even now, at 48, Rachel’s online world remains extremely polished.
Just days ago, she was posting perfectly styled outfits, wellness content and carefully framed snapshots of her life.
Scroll through Rachel’s social media, and you’ll find plenty of evidence of the lifestyle she has built her brand around. One day she’s sharing a Pilates session, the next she’s posting from the gym lifting weights or promoting healthy meals and wellness products. Yoghurt bowls, workout routines and clean living have become as much a part of her image as the pop career that made her famous.
What she wasn’t posting about was arguably one of the biggest professional moments she has had in years.
It marked one of the band’s most significant performances since October 2023.
Yet while many artists would have flooded their feeds with backstage snaps and promotional content, Rachel largely stayed quiet. There were a handful of Stories and a Reel, but little fanfare.
Though some fans were left questioning her excitement, for those close to Rachel, it’s entirely typical.
Our source said: “Rachel has always separated the public version of herself from her private life. She doesn’t feel the need to broadcast everything she’s doing. People assume they know her because she’s been famous for so long, but actually she’s one of the more private people in show business.”
That privacy perhaps explains why so much of Rachel’s personal life has unfolded away from public view.
Following the breakdown of her marriage, Rachel began dating Dancing On Ice professional Brendyn Hatfield. They were together for three years, before calling it quits last summer.
The relationship attracted huge attention, with speculation swirling about timelines and cheating rumours that Rachel was ultimately forced to deny. According to those close to her, the experience was deeply uncomfortable.
A pal said: “Having private matters become public talking points was incredibly difficult for Rachel.
“She’s always preferred to keep her personal life out of the spotlight. The divorce came as a shock not just to fans but to people around her too because they genuinely thought the marriage would last forever.”
Yet relationship drama is far from the only challenge Rachel has faced.
Perhaps the most startling chapter of her life came years earlier when she found herself caught up in two terrifying incidents within weeks of each other. In 2009, Rachel was violently attacked during a robbery at her North London home.
The images offered a glimpse behind the wellness-focused persona she presents onlineCredit: TillenDoveRachel’s social media is usually filled with wellness content, healthy living and polished lifestyle postsCredit: Instagram
The singer later recalled being ambushed by a man who grabbed her around the neck and covered her mouth.
Speaking in court years later, she admitted she was left “absolutely terrified”. Just weeks after that ordeal, she found herself caught up in another traumatic incident while having dinner with family in St John’s Wood when a gunman opened fire nearby during a gangland shooting.
The star admitted: “The two incidents that happened so close together definitely caused a lot of post-traumatic stress. After that, I felt scared to even leave my house, get out of my car, and I was just very fearful.”
It was a side of the pop star the public rarely saw. After all, while Rachel was being voted one of the sexiest women in Britain and appearing on magazine covers, privately she was battling fears few fans knew existed.
The source adds: “Everyone assumed she was confident because she was on TV and branded one of the sexiest celebrities in the world every week. But privately she could be incredibly anxious and hard on herself.”
Even Rachel’s driving ban became a talking point because it didn’t fit the image many people had of her.
The singer appeared in court after accumulating 21 penalty points from five speeding offences and attempted to avoid a ban by explaining how it would affect work commitments and family life.

Again, it surprised many because it felt so at odds with the Rachel the public thought they knew. But insiders insist that’s precisely the point.
Our source explained: “She’s made mistakes, faced challenges and dealt with consequences when things have gone wrong. The idea that she’s some squeaky-clean pop robot isn’t accurate. But neither is the suggestion that there’s some secret wild side waiting to be exposed.”
Indeed, those closest to Rachel say these photos will reveal a whole new authentic side to the pop star.
An insider added: “What people are seeing now is a woman who’s much more comfortable being herself. The smoking pictures might surprise some fans, but those who know Rachel aren’t shocked.

“She’s never claimed to be perfect, and she’s certainly never lived her life trying to be a saint.”
For years, Rachel Stevens was boxed into a role she never quite chose: the impossibly perfect girl next door. But behind the green juices has always been somebody far more human.
As one insider puts it: “The real Rachel sits somewhere in the middle. Warm, emotional, resilient, occasionally rebellious and a lot more human than the image people have projected onto her for the last 25 years.”
And if a cigarette outside a venue is finally enough to remind people of that, Rachel probably won’t lose too much sleep over it.
FATBOY Slim has opened up about the ‘awkwardness’ he felt with ex Zoe Ball after their divorce, shortly after they reunited to take some new family snaps.
The couple tied the knot in 1999 but their romance wasn’t all smooth sailing, with Zoe admitting to having an affair with DJ Daniel Peppe.

After briefly separating the duo got together again three months later up until their divorce in 2016.
Speaking to Davina McCall on her Begin Again podcast about it Fatboy Slim, real name Norman Cook, shared how ‘awkward’ he felt with Zoe initially after the split as they attempted to co-parent their children Woody and Nelly.
Though overall the star praised the dynamic him and Zoe hold today, saying it might even be better now than when they were a couple.
He said: “Our triumph is to remain really good friends and parents, even though we’re not a couple anymore…

“It was a bit awkward at first, but then we got this rhythm where… we’re probably actually better than we were when we were a couple.
“You sign on to be parents, that’s for life.
“You can sign up for marriage and you can get divorced. But you can never stop being parents.”
Norman also praised Zoe for being really good at keeping him “grounded”, noting: “Going through it together was great because, Zoe is a really good teacher, she was really good, really measured and she’s kept me really grounded to earth…”
The podcast chat comes a week after Norman and Zoe reunited to attend a friends wedding over the weekend.
Their daughter Nelly was a bridesmaid at the stunning event that took place at Parnham Park in Dorset.
Zoe posted a series of sweet clips and snaps from the day to her Instagram account.
She wore a cream dress with a slit covered in ruffles, while Norman opted for a handsome grey suit.
In the post’s caption, Zoe penned: “Congratulations Eva & James & Willow
“We love you so much. The most perfect wedding celebration for our dear magic friends.
“Groomsmen, Bridesmaids & a few close folk to celebrate the Wedding.”
AFTER taking a break from music to focus on her acting career, Ariana Grande made a triumphant return to the stage this weekend.
She kicked off her first tour in seven years with a show in Oakland, California, in front of 20,000 fans. In August, she will play ten sold-out nights at London’s O2 Arena. But among the celebrations, she’s sparked concerns from those close to her, who have been blindsided by the news of her break-up with her Wicked co-star Ethan Slater.

In a cruel twist of fate, hours after she wrapped up that first show, news broke that she had split from Ethan after three years together.
After being burned multiple times while growing up in the spotlight, I’m told Ariana keeps her circle so small that many in her wider team had no idea she was single once more.
A source tells me: “Some artists have Zoom calls with their wider teams almost weekly to keep everyone across what is happening in their lives, in case stories break.
“But with Ariana, it’s all on a need-to-know basis.
“She fully understands the interest in her life and openly channels her personal experiences into her music and art, but at the same time, she has no desire to give a running commentary about what goes on off-stage.
“Her break-up with Ethan is a prime example of that.
“Many of her wider team thought they were still together until the news broke.
“There has been no big ‘gotcha’ moment; things have simply run their course.”
To make matters worse for the superstar, the toxic side of the internet immediately began to speculate en masse about Ari’s body image during her latest performance.
It is a topic she has repeatedly asked fans to drop and was so upset by previous speculation about weight loss that she felt forced to speak out online.
Posting on TikTok in 2023, Ariana said: “I just wanted to address your concerns about my body and talk a little bit about what it means to be paid such close attention to.
“The body that you’ve been comparing my current body to was the unhealthiest version of my body.
“I was on a lot of antidepressants and drinking on them and eating poorly, and at the lowest point of my life, when I looked the way you consider me healthy.
“But that in fact wasn’t my healthy. You never know what someone is going through, so be gentle with each other.”
Ari also used the lead single from her 2024 album to tell fans to back off.
On Yes, And? she sings: “My face is sitting, I don’t need no disguise. Don’t comment on my body, do not reply. Your business is yours, and mine is mine.”
She added in November 2024: “I love my fans. I love them always, but I think they can sometimes hurt my feelings, and sometimes I don’t like them — but I love them always.”
In my experience, Ariana has always been sweet and kind.
I met Ariana when she was attending the 2025 Baftas. That year, the glitzy bash was brimming with A-list stars, with Timothée Chalamet, Selena Gomez, Cynthia Erivo, Pamela Anderson, and Demi Moore all in attendance.
Despite arguably being the biggest name in the room, Ari seemed almost overwhelmed by the hysteria around her and was surprisingly shy.

When I was making my way to an unplanned toilet break after enjoying one too many glasses of bubbles, I bumped into Ari being escorted to another part of the venue for official photos.
It was just her, her chaperone, and me in our part of the corridor. Being a fan, I shamelessly saw my chance and took it.
Keen not to make eye contact with her security, who I knew would rebuff my request, I smiled at the superstar, quickly telling her how I had supported her career for years and asked for a selfie.
Ariana immediately took pity on me, thanking me and saying “of course” to a quick snap.
Clearly on a tight schedule, her chaperone tried to move her on.
“No, no, it’s okay,” she sweetly told him, before we got into position and posed for a few pictures.
After a brief chat about the evening ahead, where she was nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role for her performance as Glinda in Wicked, we went our separate ways.
Someone at her level could easily be cold and uninterested—believe me, I’ve met enough stars like that over the years.
But despite a decade of torrid luck, Ariana clearly hasn’t let the industry jade her.
Ari has endured more in the last few years than most of us will in a lifetime.
In 2017, 22 people were killed and more than 1,000 were injured when her concert at the Manchester Arena was bombed in a horrific terror attack.
The following year, her former boyfriend, rapper Mac Miller, tragically died from an accidental overdose shortly after their break-up.

The singer then endured intense, highly unfair harassment from online trolls blaming his passing on her.
While reps insist there was no overlap in either relationship, the fact that both she and Ethan were married when they first met on the set of Wicked fuelled the rumour mill once again.
As is so often the case, it was Ariana, the woman, who became the lightning rod for abuse, while Ethan largely escaped scot-free.
The Wicked press tours were also pounced on as an opportunity for mass speculation about her changing image.
Speaking to the Sun, fashion designer and singer Laura Marshall says: “Often changes in body image aren’t surface-level; they are the side effects of a deeper pain that manifests in control.
“Being questioned in this way makes it so much worse.
“Speculating doesn’t help. Judging doesn’t help. Showing kindness and compassion is the only way to handle it.”
Before her split from Ethan, Ariana had finally begun to find inner peace and confidence once more.
Her eighth album, Petal, is set for release on July 31, penned about finding life again after something “cold and challenging.”
Ariana explained: “Petal is something that is full of life and growing through the cracks of something cold and hard and challenging.
“It’s definitely from a place where I have been maybe too shy or polite to tap into before. This kind of just feels like, ‘f*** it.’
“It was about breaking up with all different kinds of negative attachments—whether it’s my own monsters in my own head, external voices, or things that no longer serve me.”
The lead single, Hate That I Made You Love Me, has already given Ari her eighth UK No.1 single since 2020’s Positions.
I can’t imagine having to go on stage while navigating a break-up at any point, let alone performing a show explicitly based on my own past heartbreaks and traumas.
And the new show has it all.
A truly spectacular pop concert packed with hit after hit, interspersed with thought-provoking interludes hinting at Ariana Grande’s turbulent past decade.
The production is based on her seventh album, Eternal Sunshine, which chronicled the breakdown of her marriage to Dalton Gomez and her finding love with actor Ethan Slater.
During the opening night, she broke down in tears, seemingly overcome with emotion at being back on stage after previously admitting she thought she would never tour again.
I hope for Ari’s sake that spectators and fans think twice before speculating en masse as she continues to take to stages around the world.
After everything she’s been through, the fact that she even wants to perform is remarkable. At the very least, she deserves kindness.
SIA has been spotted looking totally different after she ditched her signature wig and stepped out makeup-free at an LA farmer’s market.

The Elastic Heart singer wore a pink baseball cap and an oversized trench coat as she strolled through the market picking out produce on Sunday, June 7.
The singer and songwriter is known for wearing elaborate wigs, which would obscure most of her face, for a large part of her career.
The 50-year-old has been intensely private, so when she filed for divorce from her husband, Daniel Bernard, last year, fans were surprised to learn she had also quietly welcomed her son, Somersault.
The couple tied the knot in December 2023 in Italy and ended the marriage just 26 months later.

The documents cite “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
The exes have been caught in a nasty custody battle, with Daniel requesting full custody of Somersault.
According to documents reported by Page Six, Daniel, whose an oncologist, claimed he was the “only safe and reliable parent.”
He also called Sia a “serious and immediate danger” to their child.
Most read in Entertainment
“Sia is an unfit and unreliable parent struggling with substance abuse and addiction, rendering her incapable of providing safe or stable care for Summi,” he claimed in the papers.
The judge denied Daniel’s request for full custody and ordered the pair to continue with their previous custody agreement.

Kim Kardashian appeared in Lewis Hamilton’s photo dump from the star-studded Monaco Grand Prix weekend attended by a host of celebrities and sporting icons.
Kim looked glamorous as ever, and many were quick to point out that it was the first time Lewis had shared a photo featuring Kim on his social media.
In the snap, Kim was seen holding Lewis’ racing helmet.
The reality star opted for a daring black sheer top, adding to the glamour of the Monaco Grand Prix weekend.
The stylish photo immediately caught fans’ attention.
One commented: “Great pics Lewis and a fab weekend well done ❤️ And welcome to the family Kim kardashian ❤️”
Another added: “In his boyfriend era”.
A third penned: “YES!!!!!! Kim on the grid!”
A fourth said: “Omgggggg kimmmmmm😍”
A fifth wrote: “Omg Kim !! U guys are so cute”.

Kim made her F1 trackside debut to support her Ferrari driver boyfriend.
She arrived with her sister Khloe Kardashian as well as a huge entourage.
Kim wore a stunning cream one-shoulder maxi dress, while Khloe opted for a satin plunge midi dress also in cream.
Kim watched the race and Lewis narrowly miss out on winning.
Kimi Antonelli became the youngest winner at 19 years old.
Despite the loss, Lewis appeared in high spirits as he blew Kim a kiss and sprayed her with champagne as he celebrated on the podium.

Kim and Lewis have been friends for over a decade.
They were first spotted getting cosy on New Year’s Eve in Aspen.
They went public with their romance at the Super Bowl in February.
Just last week, they took a huge step in their relationship as he was seen with her four children for the first time.
A source previously said that the couple have an “intense” relationship and Kardashian’s family absolutely “adores” him.
Ariana Grande and boyfriend Ethan Slater have broken up, according to reports.
The couple, who starred in both Wicked films, had been together for three years.

TMZ reports that the separation is amicable and the pair remain good friends.
Unlike Lily Allen’s searingly personal music after her split rom husband David Harbour, the publication writes that Ariana’s new upcoming album, Petal, isn’t inspired by her own split.
Meanwhile People claims the pair “have been quietly broken up for several months.”
This tallies with rumours that had been swirling around the relationship prior to the split that the pair were struggling to make their busy schedules work.
The Sun has contacted representatives for Ethan and Ariana for comment.
Just this weekend, on the very first night of Ariana’s Eternal Sunshine Tour at the weekend, her fans thought she’d put the speculation to bed by alluding to an engagement.
While singing her hit Thank U, Next, she changed the lyrics from “Only wanna do it once, real bad” to “twice” as she playfully held up two fingers and laughed.
It sent fans wild, but now it’s clear it was a red herring.
The couple got together in controversial circumstances.
Around the same time, Ethan went through a messy divorce from Lilly Jay, his wife of five years, just a year after the birth of their son, Ezra.
Despite rumours alleging Ethan’s romance started with Ariana on the set of Wicked while he was still married to Lilly, sources close to the pop star insist the couple had been separated for two months.
“Ariana’s the story really. Not a girl’s girl,” Lilly previously said.
“My family is just collateral damage… The story is her and Dalton.”
She added: “As for me, days with my son are sunny. Days when I can’t escape the promotion of a movie associated with the saddest days of my life are darker.”
Ethan and Ariana moved in together in New York in 2023 — before her divorce was finalised.
She defended her man publicly in a Vanity Fair interview in 2024 amid criticism of the way his previous relationship ended.
Ariana said: “No one on this earth tries harder or spreads themselves thinner to be there for the people that he loves and cares about.”
And she admitted that the narrative had hurt her, adding: “The most disappointing part was to see so many people believe the worst version of it.”

They wrote: “Ideally, we would have loved the opportunity to give JJ the send off he deserved, a proper farewell video, time for everyone to process it, and a chance to celebrate everything we’ve built together.
“Unfortunately JJ released the news before we had agreed on a mutual way of letting our audience know.”
In the video KSI posted he said: “This is honestly the hardest video I’ve ever had to make in my life.

But The Sun can reveal security downed two drones by jamming their signals after they flew over the party, causing a huge security scare for the A-Lister guests.
We can also reveal she wore two dresses over the course of the night, both believed to have been designed by Donatella Versace.
Both dresses were white and floor length, and described by onlookers as “glittering”.

Guests wept earlier in a hugely emotional moment as Sir Elton John serenaded Dua by playing piano and singing Your Song.
But a source told The Sun there were concerns for the Rocket Man legend, who was visibly struggling with his eyesight and appeared frail as he had to be supported by two men holding him.
A source told The Sun: “He had a person on each arm to guide him because he couldn’t see but he played the piano so well.”
They were then treated to a wedding feast which included a catalan lobster salad, tuna, and pasta with lobster.

Guests also had cannoli – Sicilian sweet pastry treats.
Sir Elton John left after the dinner, around the same time as Versace left too.
An Albanian community group based in Palermo also danced at the reception for Dua as bands played live music to guests whose cheers could be heard from the neighbouring streets.
Kosovo-Albanian singer Besnik Qaka and his band performed inside the venue in the evening.
A spectacular ten-minute firework display wowed guests at 11.30pm, before they moved inside the Villa Valguarnera for the afterparty. DJs played music including discotech.
A huge security presence threw a ring of steel around the event, and staff all signed NDAs and had to hand their phones in at 11am and did not get it back again until they left in the early hours.
Dua and Callum Said I Do in the Garden before the reception began.
Guests sat on wicker chairs adorned with white ribbon and gifted hand-embroidered white handkerchiefs with ‘Stay Mad with Me Forever’ on them in red.
They also got a white cotton bag with a red ‘D and C’ on the chair, which was filled with biodegradable confetti.
Elton, 79, who flew in by private jet for the ceremony, and Dua are close friends after they collaborated on the track Cold Heart in 2021.
Italian fashion designer Donatella Versace, 71, was also at the wedding, held in the grounds of the 18th-century Villa Valguarnera in Bagheria, and is believed to have designed Dua’s dress.
Yesterday’s service followed an official one at Old Marylebone Town Hall in central London last week.
A-list guests in Sicily included Brit actor Joe Alwyn, American actress Grace Gummer and her husband DJ Mark Ronson, and pop star Charli XCX and her husband George Daniel, the drummer with The 1975.
Some guests were understood to have signed non-disclosure agreements to protect the privacy of the star-studded three-day celebrations, which kicked off on Friday.
A ring of steel surrounded the venue with metal barriers erected along the roads leading to it.
The villa, which featured in the opening credits of HBO drama The White Lotus 2, is widely considered one of the most historically and culturally significant villas in Sicily.
One Kiss singer Dua, who has an estimated net worth of £150million, and Callum hired the venue for a reported £86,000.
It was once a Mafia hideout but has since been taken on by 76-year-old Italian author and translator Vittoria Alliata di Villafranca, the Princess of Valguarnera, who still lives in the estate.
A huge floral installation of white peonies, hyacinth and lily of the valley from a local florist served as the backdrop for the couple’s vows in the striking courtyard.
Meanwhile the grand entrance to the villa was adorned with purple bougainvillea flowers — a defining feature of Sicily.
Dua is understood to have walked down the aisle with her dad and manager Dukagjin through the courtyard. Pale wooden chairs draped with a cream ribbon were arranged for 200 guests in a semicircle for the ceremony.
Wedding favours included white hankerchiefs embroidered in red with “Stay mad with me forever” and there was also a photo booth.
Guests arrived in chauffer-driven cars and were served wine and popcorn while waiting for the ceremony to commence.
The ceremony was followed by a traditional Sicilian menu from chef Tony Lo Coco’s Michelin-starred Bagheria restaurant I Pupi.
Guests then partied into the night with an outdoor DJ set.
Dua and Callum — who is among the favourites to be the nextJames Bond — are staying in a £6,000-anight suite at the five-star 19th Century Palazzo Villa Igiea in nearby Palermo.
They are reported to have reserved two floors of the hotel and are staying in the Donna Franca Suite with the private terrace offering panoramic views of the Tyrrhenian Sea.
They also shut down two city centre squares in Palermo for the first of three days of parties.
But she was criticised by locals who stuck up posters accusing the singer of making their public space a “living room for the rich”. Others said: “Palermo is not for rent.”
Sir Elton John left Palermo in a private jet just after 12.30pm local time today.
The music legend, 79, was accompanied by husband David Furnish, 63, who took a photo of the singer with ground staff.
The £24,000 private jet headed towards Farnborough, near his home in Windsor. Elton was a blue tracksuit while David wore a yellow suit.
THE friction between Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr in 1970 will be brought to life in the upcoming Beatles biopic.

Oscar-nominated Barry Keoghan is playing drummer Ringo, alongside Gladiator II star Paul Mescal as Macca.
Sources on the set of the film, directed by Sam Mendes and due for release in 2028, have noticed that the relationship between the two Irish actors has become strained.
One said: “Barry has been rubbing people up the wrong way.
“His timekeeping is not always up to scratch and he often references that he is a parent — despite not living with his son.
“He also brings his brother Eric on set as his assistant, which doesn’t always bring out the best in his character.
“Barry is professional and can bring out the best in any script.
“But he can test the boundaries off-camera.”
Paul and Ringo, the last surviving members of the band, clashed in 1970, shortly before the group split in April that year.
Paul was preparing to release his first solo album, McCartney, just a few weeks before The Beatles album Let It Be was due to come out.
His bandmates wrote him a letter asking him to delay it, and Ringo hand-delivered it to Paul’s home in London.
Paul, who is now close friends with Ringo, later admitted it was the only time he threw someone out of his house.
The new screen project is a series of four biographical films based on the lives and careers of each member of The Beatles.
Joseph Quinn is George Harrison in the movieCredit: �2026 CTMG, Inc., All Rights Reserved.Harris Dickinson is John Lennon in the new film
The four intersecting biopics, written by James Bond screenwriter Jez Butterworth, will tell the story of the group from their humble beginnings in Liverpool to becoming the biggest band on the planet.
Stranger Things’ Joseph Quinn will portray George Harrison and Harris Dickinson stars as John Lennon.
Earlier this week, Harris and co-star Paul went to the Primavera Sound festival in Barcelona, where they were filming.
Of the four films, Mendes explained: “Each one is told from the particular perspective of just one of the guys. This is a chance to understand them a little more deeply.”
Even so, it sounds like there’s another meaty story behind the camera.

MADE In Chelsea couple Reza Amiri-Garroussi and Bella Sharpe have got back together.
The pair, who first dated in 2024, have been spotted together in London.
It comes as Reza’s ex Ruby Adler announced her engagement to multi-millionaire Luxe Listings Sydney star Gavin Rubinstein after just a year of dating.
An insider said: “Reza and Bella split due to the pressures of filming Made In Chelsea. But now they’re taking a break from the show, they’ve reconnected.
“Reza always wanted to give the relationship another chance. With Ruby out of the picture, there’s nothing to stop them.”
Hopefully it’ll be second time lucky for these two.

POP’S finest didn’t let the relentless rain dampen their spirits yesterday as they took to the stage to perform for Capital FM’s Summertime ball at London’s Wembley Stadium.
Bebe Rexha belted out hits in a denim corset teamed with a fluffy pink cardie, Jason Derulo ripped his shirt off to bust out some signature moves, and superstar DJ Fatboy Slim got fans dancing.
Lola Young was back on fine form as she sang her anthem Messy and expressed her gratitude to the crowd for their support.
Opening up about her sobriety on the socials this week, she wrote: “Sometimes I feel like I am grieving an old version of myself that I have chosen to let go of. Even though I chose a path that is better and safer, there are days where it still all feels wrong.”

CHRISTINA AGUILERA has cast three young stars to share the lead role in her upcoming production of Burlesque The Musical.
British newcomers Natalia Jacques and Gracie O’Brien will portray Ali, the waitress-turned-dancer played by Christina in the 2010 movie.
American Cecilia Petrush will also star in the role.
Writer and director Steven Antin said: “When Christina brought Ali to life in the film, she created something truly iconic.
“Bringing Burlesque from screen to stage is about honouring that legacy. These three exceptional actresses step into those heels not to imitate Christina, but to continue the legacy she began.”
Burlesque The Musical returns to London this September at the new West End venue The Arts At Marble Arch.
Netflix boosts brand
Netflix has added rape- accused Russell Brand’s hit film St Trinian’s on to the streaming serviceCredit: Getty
NETFLIX has added rape- accused Russell Brand’s hit film St Trinian’s on to the streaming service.
The actor and comedian starred in the 2007 movie about rebellious schoolgirls alongside Colin Firth and Rupert Everett.
Netflix added the flick under “comedies” last month.
Brand starred as crook Flash Harry who taught the schoolgirls about “the seven laws of crime”.
He is accused of three rapes, three sex assaults and an indecent assault on six women from 1999 to 2009.
His trial at Southwark Crown Court is due to start in October and is expected to take up to eight weeks.
The former TV and radio presenter denies all charges against him.
Rupert, who played headmistress Camilla Fritton in the film, claimed Brand behaved “perfectly well” on set.
He said: “There were a lot of beautiful women on St Trinian’s and there was never any scandal to do with Russell Brand.”
Sean sis: it’s real deal
LOVE Island star Sean Fitzgerald has uncovered a perfect match in Lola Deal, according to his sister.
Gaelic footballer Sean, who is in a couple with former police detective Lola, sealed their romance with a kiss at the villa in Majorca earlier this week.
The hunk’s sister Katie revealed: “I absolutely adore Lola.
“She is gorgeous, so sweet, kind, and the smile she puts on Sean’s face is really nice to see.
“As of right now in the villa, I think Lola is best suited to him.”
She said of her brother: “I would just like to see more of his goofy side that we all see at home.”

THEY rose to fame in the late Nineties wearing double denim – but Irish pop band B*Witched have revealed that the outfits in their 1998 hit video C’est La Vie were not actually planned.
Twin sisters Edele and Keavy Lynch, who supported their brother Shane and his Boyzone bandmates last night, sat down with Biz on Sunday’s Emily ahead of their performance at London’s Emirates Stadium.
Edele said: “The day before we were doing the C’est La Vie video, our clothes got stolen from the record company and they never knew where they went.
“So in a panic they ended up going to Levi’s in the morning to just grab some clothes.”
She added: “I still have my outfit from the 1998 tour and I still fit into it. I don’t know if that is a good thing or a bad thing at this point. My eldest daughter borrows stuff all the time and I’m always coming across it.
“In the winter she wears this white fluffy jacket which I wore for the To You I Belong video.”
The twins, along with bandmates Sinead O’Carroll and Lindsay Armmaou, released their single Firefly on Friday ahead of an EP in August – but as they gear up for their 30th anniversary, they don’t plan on hanging up their jeans any time soon.
Edele explained: “We’ve realised that if we turn up without denim, we might as well not sing.”
Asked about the possibility of being in a campaign with Levi’s, the singer said: “I think they are missing a trick.”
KATE’S SEACRET TALENT

KATE MOSS has made her debut as an artist this week by unveiling her first watercolour for sale.
The supermodel painted a green and blue seahorse, left, which is being shown alongside new pieces by Rolling Stone bandmates Ronnie Wood and Keith Richards, Hollywood actress Sharon Stone and Guns N’ Roses legend Slash.
The collection is being auctioned online to raise funds for Doodle Drop For Coral, a new campaign led by Project Zero, the ocean conservation charity co-founded by Ronnie’s son TYRONE WOOD.
Kate has signed her seahorse by hand, writing: “Love, Kate Moss”, alongside a tiny heart.
The current bid stands at £285.
A nude portrait of Kate was painted by the late British artist Lucian Freud in 2002. It sold for £3.5million.
Tyrone told me: “Kate’s seahorse is one of those pieces that makes you smile.”

Dua, 30, and Callum, 36, said ‘I Do’ to one another in an outdoor ceremony adorned with high trees at the magnificent 18th century Villa Valguarnera with A-list pals Charli XCX, Mark Ronson and Tame Impala in attendance.
The Sun can exclusively reveal that bride Dua, 30, walked down the aisle with a bridal bouquet made up of lily-of-the-valley, peonies and hyacinths from a local florist.
Amid the vow renewal, music legend Elton John serenaded the couple with a rendition of his smash hit ‘Your Song’ in an incredibly emotional and touching moment.
The special performance prompted tears all round as the 79-year-old belted out the classic love song for his beloved pal and her new husband.

Elton, 79, and the Be The One singer have a firm friendship with the two previously collaborating on single Cold Heart back in 2021, a remix of his iconic song Rocket Man (1972).
The ceremony kicked off at 5pm and lasted for around an hour with guests arriving from 3:30pm in a whopping 60 minivans.
The bride and groom turned up in a luxury Mercedes Maybach Class V at 3pm prompt to greet their guests ahead of the nuptials.
Post-ceremony, a posh dinner is expected to be laid on by a two Michelin star chef from Rome, and speeches, before the celebrities dance the night away with a party set to go well into the early hours.
The evening is split into three moments: ceremony in the courtyard, a dinner, followed by an outdoor DJ set by four prominent names on the international music scene.
A huge amp system has been set up in anticipation, with diffusers positioned towards the estate and the villa park to limit sound waves travelling into the Bagheria town
Dua’s wedding dress – a well-kept secret – is rumoured to have been designed by Donatella Versace, who attended a pre-wedding drinks reception last night as she and Callum kicked off their celebrations.
They shut down two city centre squares in Palermo as famous music pals gathered to celebrate the couple.
Dua stunned in a white, backless Bottega Veneta dress and also had a £2580 Bottega Anidamo leather clutch bag and Bulgari jewels – including a classic £185,000 Manchette watch.

She was seen dancing to Le Freak and Kylie Minogue’s Spinning Around.
Waiters later bought out Margarita pizza for guests on silver trays.
A ring of steel was put around the Piazza Sant’Anna and Piazza Croce dei Vespri with police and private security blocking off access to the public.
The Sun revealed that Dua paid £5,000 to residents who live around the Piaza Croce dei Vespri, where the party was held, to thank them.
But she faced a battle against some protestors who stuck up posters in nearby streets accusing the singer of making their public space a “living room for the rich”, insisting: “Palermo is not for rent.”
Dua and Callum are staying in a £6,000 a night suite at the five-star Villa Igiea.
Their Donna Franca suite has stunning views of the Mediterranean Sea and is described as the hotel’s crowning jewel.

Venezuela married her man Noah Price, 19, in a stunning handmade gown with imported Italian lace and a 50ft train.
The Netflix star has been keeping fans updated on her life over on her TikTok account.
She danced around in the clip as she mimed the lyrics to Cardi B‘s ‘Pretty and Petty’.
They said: “I’m a bad b***h are you mad. You built like your dad.

“You damn near unemployed. They only book you when they can’t afford Coi, look.
“I got one album and I’m up still. Daughter cost more than your pub’ deal.”
Venezuela pouted her lips and threw up a peace sign as she ended the video.
Fans in the comments gushed over Venezuela.

The luxury caravan home boasts a stunning marble bathroom with a free-standing bath, a cream kitchen overlooking trees and greenery, and plenty of space throughout.
The living room has a huge built-in TV cabinet with a fireplace beneath.
And the bedroom has large wardrobes and plush grey carpet throughout.

But yesterday morning graffiti had also appeared on walls in the picturesque Piazza Croce dei Vespri.
The square and adjoining Piazza Sant’Anna have been sealed off for the first of three days of celebrations as One Kiss star Dua, 30, and actor Callum Turner, 36, mark their nuptials.
They officially married in London last weekend before flying to Italy this week.
Guests including singer Charli XCX and music producer Mark Ronson were in Palermo for drinks last night.
Yesterday, it emerged Dua has paid £5,000 to residents.
The gesture is understood to compensate locals whose apartments overlook the area for parking problems.
But a marble column in the centre had last night not been cleaned of old foul-mouthed graffiti complaining of an unpaid debt.
A source said: “It doesn’t really match the idyllic love story vibe that Dua seems to be going for.”

Dua, Callum and guests have been staying at the five star Villa Igiea hotel overlooking Palermo’s marina.
The couple got a huge cheer and applause as they arrived at their party last night, with Dua dazzling in a halterneck backless dress.
Callum wore a casual suit and could not resist giving his new wife a cheeky squeeze of her bum, left.
The square was decked out with classic Italian cars and an outdoor cocktail bar.
Earlier, police moved on locals in Piazza Sant’Anna.
One resident said of the cops’ action: “It all seems a bit over the top.
“We just wanted to see Dua Lipa and wish her well.”

Images of the superstar singer and her hunky actor, 36, husband beaming as they left Old Marylebone Town Hall immediately went viral, with fans branding them the ultimate power couple.
And while the showbiz world is no stranger to carefully curated PR moments, I know first-hand the type of man Callum really is.
After years of the singer dating the wrong guys, I know Dua has finally found Mr. Right because of how he discreetly supported me at one of my lowest moments.
Back in February 2024, I was lucky enough to attend the BAFTAs as a guest of EE at London’s Royal Festival Hall.
That year, Dua was presenting the award for Outstanding British Film, with Callum proudly by her side.
I was excited for the night ahead when, just minutes before taking to the red carpet, the guy I was seeing brutally dumped me.
I was unceremoniously blocked on WhatsApp, only to watch him put tickets we had bought for a West End show up for sale on his Instagram Stories – knowing full well I would see it.
To say it felt like a dagger to the heart would be an understatement.
Thankfully, no one was looking at me – especially as I arrived at the exact same time as Sir David Beckham – but making my way into the venue was one of the most surreal moments of my life.
I tried to hold back tears as screaming fans cheered for their favourite stars and cameras flashed all around me.
Inside the reception, Taittinger champagne was free-flowing and smiles were plastered on the faces of the rich and famous.
I quickly sank a glass of bubbles and, feeling myself getting choked up, slipped away to a secluded side corridor for a moment to myself.
I’m not entirely sure how long I stood there, staring blankly into space.
It was at this exact moment that Callum appeared, being led down my not-so-glamorous corridor to avoid the bustling crowds in the main foyer.
Realising I was unintentionally staring straight at him, I quickly apologised as we made eye contact.
Seeing how visibly upset I was, Callum stopped dead in his tracks and doubled back — leaving a member of the BAFTA press team looking thoroughly confused as to why he’d changed direction.
“Are you ok?” he asked kindly.
As I tried to mumble that I was fine, he replied: “You have tears in your eyes…”
His warmth prompted me to come clean and admit that I’d just been dumped.
By this point, Dua, surrounded by her own team, had caught up with him as they were being hurried to their seats before the live broadcast began.
I managed to raise a half-hearted laugh, and with that, they were whisked off into the glitzy night.
I stood there for a moment, taking stock of a brief interaction that felt like a fever dream.
While short, it made it crystal clear to me that Callum is one of the good guys.
In a self-centred, shallow industry, believe me, men like him are hard to come by.
I saw Callum a few weeks later at The O2 Arena, where our tables were located just a few spots away from each other at the BRIT Awards.

I wanted to thank him for his kindness that night, but aware I would have to out myself as a tabloid reporter, and the can of worms that might open, I decided against it.
Instead, I quietly watched as he was the first on his feet to cheer on Dua as she opened the ceremony with an epic rendition of her hit Training Season.
Aptly, the track, which featured on Dua’s third album Radical Optimism, is all about her struggle to find ‘The One’ before Callum came along.
Prior to their romance, Dua dated filmmaker Romain Gavras, 44, US TV host Trevor Noah, 42, and Anwar Hadid, 26.
Dua previously revealed on The Drew Barrymore Show: “Training Season is about when I was in my singledom.
“I went on a couple of dates. All terrible.
“I went into the studio with my friends and normally every studio session starts with a little chat and a gossip about my life.
“I just went, ‘Guys, training season is over. I am done training up these boys. No more.’”
Speaking to Vogue last December, Callum was asked: “If there is an eternity, who do you wish to spend it with?”
Without a second’s thought, he decisively replied: “Dua.”
With Callum, the singer has clearly hit the jackpot.
I wish them every success as they head down the aisle this weekend.
