Celebrity relationships and break ups

JEFF Brazier has just shared a trio of adorable photos of his son Bobby spending time with his niece Isla Jade.

The sweet snaps come shortly after Jeff’s other son, Freddy, announced that he had split from Isla’s mother, Holly Swinburn, again.

In two of the photos, Bobby is holding Isla and looking down at her lovingly.

A third shows Bobby laying on the floor with Isla as she reaches her hand out to him while on a baby mat.

Bobby grins widely at little Isla, who was bundled up into a beige babygrow.

Jeff lovingly wrote in the caption: “Uncle Bobby x Isla Jade,” followed y a love heart emoji.

Fans of the family gushed in the post’s comments section about how wholesome the snaps were.

One user said: “Heart melting.”

A second shared: “So precious… an unbreakable bond.”

A third added: “Stop it. So so beautiful.”

Race Across The World star Freddy and Holly welcomed baby Isla into the world back in March.

The pair have been on/off for the past year having previously split while Holly was pregnant.

They then split again briefly just weeks after Holly gave birth

Their most recent split comes three months after Isla’s birth, with a source telling The Sun that this time the break up is ‘for good’.

The source said: “It’s all over again sadly, they’ve been rowing and fighting and it just all got too much.

“Everyone hopes they can put their issues behind them to co-parent.”

The couple were also reported to have not spoken since the fiery argument.

The source added: “They have split for good. Holly and Freddy just can’t make a relationship work. They’re both too young and similar.

“It all ended after a huge row. They had a fight that got really nasty. Since the row they haven’t seen each other or spoken.

“Friends and family really hope this is the end for them.”

BROOKLYN Beckham has posted a gushing tribute to his wife Nicola Peltz over her new film Prima.

The aspiring chef, 27, took to Instagram to share a series of pictures with his wife and the movie’s team as they celebrated with a get together.

The couple beamed from ear to ear in the snaps, as Brooklyn wore a buttoned up blue shirt with black trousers and a flat cap.

Meanwhile, Nicola, 31, looked chic in a halter-neck cream top and black jeans, as she had her hair tied up in a stylish bun.

Proud husband Brooklyn penned: “I am so proud of you @nicolaannepeltzbeckham you have been working so hard on Prima and I can’t be more proud of you.

“I can’t wait for everyone to see what an amazing job you have done. I love you with all my heart.

“Thank you so much @eastwestbank.us and Linda May for hosting such a wonderful night. Congratulations on your directorial debut @morellibrothers I love the film so much.”

Nicola responded in the comments: “Thank you. I love you.”

The actress plays a ballerina in the upcoming Indie drama film and she underwent rigorous ballet training to prepare for the physically demanding role.

Brooklyn’s tribute for his wife comes after he was noticeably absent at his grandfather Tony’s 80th birthday celebrations.

His mum Victoria, 52, put on a lavish celebration for her dad at Hotel Café Royal in Central London last weekend.

Victoria, who wore a white dress at the party, said as her father turned 80: “Happy birthday, Daddy, we love you so so much! 

“Thank you to all our friends and family who helped to make it so special! Such an amazing night celebrating my wonderful dad.” 

Victoria and her husband David, 51, posed for a family photo with her parents Tony and Jackie and their children, Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21 and 14-year-old Harper.

Sir David gave Tony a leg of Monte Nevado ham as a gift and called him “the best father-in-law I could ask for”. 

Despite not attending the celebrations, he did take to Instagram to send a birthday wish to his grandfather.

Posting a sweet snap of the pair, he penned: “Happy 80th papa x I love you so much.” 

He is said to still be close to his grandparents despite not seeing them for months amid his feud with his family.

Brooklyn and Nicola cut off all ties with his family and he claimed in his bombshell statement in January that they cared more about “Brand Beckham”.

David, Victoria and his brothers have put out plenty of olive branches but to no avail.

KATIE Price may be going through hell on earth as she waits for news on her “missing” conman husband Lee Andrews.

But if there’s one thing that the former glamour model, 47, knows how to do, it’s bounce back from heartbreaking and troublesome situations.

And that’s exactly what insiders say three-times divorcee Katie is planning to do next.

Katie has been through the wringer this last week over Lee, who has made no contact with her for days and appears to be in hiding in Dubai, despite initially making his wife think he had been kidnapped.

While Katie is going through hell, a source has insisted that, ultimately, the business savvy star won’t let this ruin her and is used to “turning pain into power”.

And the dramatic scandal is already attracting big money offers, with an insider saying that Katie may reveal all in another autobiography.

A source told us: “With Kate, people underestimate her because they see the chaos before her comeback.

“That’s always been the story with her.

“She’s been through bankruptcy, public humiliation, heartbreak and things that would completely destroy most people – in fact, some close friends wonder how she’s still standing after everything she’s been through in her life but somehow she finds a way to rebuild her life and come back bigger and better every single time.

“Right now, everyone is genuinely worried about her.

“She’s extremely vulnerable, she wears her heart on her sleeve, and this whole shocking situation with Lee disappearing has shaken her badly.

“It really upset her too that people said she was in on it all.

“But Katie has this strange ability to survive things people think she won’t. She’s like a cat with nine million lives.”

As our source points out, while the TV star feels embarrassed that Lee has made a fool of her, she won’t be herself be a punchline.

“Katie is mortified that some people think this is one big joke and some cruel trolls are laughing at her for being so trusting, but she’ll dust herself off. At the end of the day, Katie may wish this had never happened but she knows that the only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about at all.

“Her life has been laid bare for the world to see for the best part of three decades and she has no desires to let her popularity die anytime soon. And one thing is for sure, she certainly won’t let her brand be damaged by another man.

The source continued: “The thing about Kate is she’s never been ashamed of her mess.

“Most people try to hide their scandals but she somehow turns hers into opportunity.

“It sounds ruthless when you say it out loud, but she’s incredibly smart when it comes to understanding how the media works and how to manage public attention.

“She knows people are fascinated by her life and so she puts it all out there warts and all, nothing is off limits.”

With the huge interest in her latest marriage growing by the day and Lee’s whereabouts still a mystery, it’s fully expected that publishers and streaming channels will want her to dish the dirt on what’s really gone on.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if six months from now she’s announcing a new bestselling book, a brand new Netflix , another series of her upcoming Sky documentary, or maybe even a new reality TV series back on ITV where she started out,” our source said.

“That’s what Katie does. Everything that looks a disaster or like the end for her somehow becomes the beginning of a brilliant new chapter.

“She’s had people mock her for years, saying she’s finished, saying she’s hit rock bottom, but she always seems to have the last laugh.

“Somehow, even disaster turns into profit for her.

“It’s almost unbelievable. Nobody else does this.”

Katie has had her fair share of ups and downs in her life and her romantic life has always been at the centre of that.

Each of her marriages have ended in heartbreak, with the star taking swipes at her various exes on social media over the years.

She married Peter Andre from 2005 to 2009, then briefly to Alex Reid in 2010 to 2011 and Kieran Hayler from 2013 to 2015.

But despite her love life going up on flames on multiple occasions, she’s always managed to find a way to “reinvent herself” a source said.

The insider told us: “Katie’s biggest strength is that she refuses to stay down.

“She can cry one minute and be planning her comeback the next. That resilience is what keeps her going and it’s probably why the public can’t stop rooting for her.”

Over the years, Katie has faced criticism – whether it’s for her driving, her love for cosmetic surgery, her dramatic weight loss or her parenting.

But she has managed to use the backlash to monetise.

Katie’s cashed in on various avenues – from her podcast, to her live show with pal Kerry Katona, to her Channel 4 documentary about her Mucky Mansion and now even her OnlyFans.

And the star has shared her story along the way, writing a whopping eight autobiographies between 2004 to 2024.

Her latest was titled This Is Me and spilled the beans on her exes, her PTSD and her past trauma.

It’s clear that Katie’s not just a one-trick pony.

And it’s no different this time around, regardless of whether Lee is in the picture or not.

“There’s definitely a feeling among her friends that, as awful as this situation is, Katie will eventually find a way to turn pain into power again,” our source said.

“She’s done it her entire life.

“Every scandal, every crisis, every setback, she finds a way to monetise it, reinvent herself, and move forward.

“She is the ultimate brand with true longevity and star power.

“People see the headlines and think she’s fragile, but there’s another side to Katie. She’s incredibly determined. She’s a survivor.

“She’s always believed that if life gives her drama, she might as well make something out of it. Love her or hate her, Katie understands celebrity culture better than most people.

“She knows how to keep herself relevant. Even in the darkest moments, she’s already thinking three steps ahead.

“I think what shocks people is that she never really loses, even when it looks like she has lost everything.

“Somehow, she turns every catastrophe into another opportunity.

“Lee might think he’s won but by the end of it, she’s the only winner.”

It all started last Tuesday when he was supposed to join her on Good Morning Britain for their first television appearance together.

However, he failed to make it to the UK and she was forced to go it alone, facing a grilling from hosts Susanna Reid and Ed Balls.

Lee, 43, shared an Instagram video where he claimed he was at Muscat airport and he was on his way to the UK.

However, he was caught in a lie as he was actually in Dubai Terminal 2.

Since then, he’s gone off grid and nobody has been able to trace him over the course of the last week.

Katie claimed her husband has been “kidnapped” and the last she heard from him, he was in the back of the van with cable ties on his arms.

She told her YouTube subscribers in a video that the police could not find any record of him being detained and she’d been in contact with the British embassy in Dubai to help track him down.

The former glamour model said: “We are now wondering, as far-fetched as it is, that he’s a missing person now, I don’t know if he’s been kidnapped.

“No one can find him in any prison, any police station, the police can’t find any record of him.

“We are wondering if he’s been kidnapped, he’s definitely a missing person now.

“The unsettling thing for me, the last time I heard from him, he FaceTime me, he had a hood on and said ‘I’ve just been captured or arrested’ and had ties around his hand, not handcuffs, and said ‘they’re coming back for me’. Then his phone went dead at 10.03pm.”

His family filed a missing persons report on Monday at the embassy.

Katie shared her final text messages with Lee, where he told her he loved her and he will “sort it”.

There is ongoing speculation that Lee is unable to leave the United Arab Emirates city after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend Dina Taji’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan – something he’s strongly denied. 

NEWLY single Ruben Dias hasn’t wasted any time dipping his toe back in the dating pool since his split from Maya Jama. 

The showbiz couple called time on their relationship after 18 months at the end of April, just before the Love Island host flew to Inverness to film The Celebrity Traitors.

But The Sun can reveal he’s already been casting his net and reached out to women online – including just days after the split.

Aussie Love Islander Amelia Marni caught his eye, as has a sexy blonde called Georgia.

But this is nothing new for the Manchester City ace, because Ruben has been accused by fans of “toe dipping” for years.

Toe dipping is a practice where one user follows another on social media to invite a response, then if the targeted user doesn’t return the favour, the follow is retracted.

Truth behind Maya’s split from Dias REVEALED after couple ‘reached crossroads’

Fans have been tracking Ruben’s toe-dipping for years and noted that he tends to follow a woman in the evening, then unfollow them the next day. 

The footballer’s antics are so well-known among his supporters that they track the instances. 

One joked on a gossip site in March 2024 – when Ruben was single – writing: “Our favourite alpha sex god keeping us entertained with following, unfollowing, re-following and liking the pics of a random assortment of women on IG.”

And now he’s back on the market, Ruben has been hitting that follow button.

On May 6 he allegedly “toe-dipped” Aussie Amelia, who lives in London and has a boyfriend. 

On May 20 he is accused of follow and unfollowing a blonde called Georgia, who has now mysteriously deleted her profile.

There is no suggestion that Ruben has met up with the women or interacted further than just following, nor that they responded. 

Maya and Ruben met in November 2024 at the MTV European Music Awards and went public with a loved-up appearance in May 2025. 

Yesterday The Sun revealed that the couple had split after “reaching a crossroads” ahead of a hectic summer for both of them. 

They both cleared their Instagram profiles of any loved-up snaps.

A source close to the pair said: “Maya and Ruben had a wonderful time together and there’s still a lot of love and respect between them.

“But with both of their careers going into overdrive this summer, they realised that the relationship had run its course and it was better to separate.

“Maya is heading into an intense filming schedule and Ruben’s focus is fully on the World Cup, so they’ve decided to part ways.”

A representative for Ruben Dias did not respond to request for comment.

KATIE Price’s missing hubby is back online after eight days and following a “biker babe”.

Lee Andrews’ Instagram only followed Katie until early today when it added a glam US Navy veteran called Marisol.

Katie is said to be disgusted and incensed after “kidnapped” hubby Lee reappeared online.

His shock return came on worried Katie’s 48th birthday. In the early hours fans spotted Andrews had added Marisol — and they alerted Katie.

It appears Marisol previously used an online matchmaking service for millionaires.

Katie’s last contact with Andrews came when he claimed he had been arrested and taken to a “black site”.

He has since blanked her messages.

A pal said: “Katie is incensed at what has played out.

“She is beyond furious.

“She was panic-stricken last week when Lee told her he was being kidnapped.

“She thought it was genuine.

“Now it’s all unravelling.

“Those close to her have warned it’s all an elaborate sham but Katie genuinely loves Lee.

“She was so worried and does hold out some hope he is going to reappear.

“Now she’s seen him following this woman, to say she was angry and confused is an understatement.

“The last thing Lee told Katie was that he was being bundled into a van with ties around his hands.

“Now he’s on social media appearing to be chasing other women. It’s disgusting.”

Marisol did not respond to our request for comment.

Last night she deleted a photo with friends she posted on Instagram on Thursday.

Those with knowledge of Andrews had a stark warning for Marisol.

A source said: “If she is somehow involved with Lee she needs to get out fast.

“His MO is finding women on social media then befriending them.

“It’s exactly what he did with Katie and look how that ended up.

“This Marisol appears to have used dating websites before with millionaires — so either she’s rich or she wants to meet a well-off partner.”

Dubai-based Andrews is understood to be on a travel ban.

Last month we revealed a business he was asking women to invest in was shut down in 2024.

Last week we told how he took £1,000 from The Sun’s Clemmie Moodie as part of another apparent sham investment scheme and has blanked her demands for its return.

The source added: “Women need to be aware of what Lee has done previously when it comes to taking money for investments.

“They should not give him a penny of their cash.”

Katie married Andrews days after they met in January.

His ex-fiancée Alana Percival later warned Katie off him and branded him a “narcissist”.

Last night a pal of Katie said: “She honestly thought she had found lasting love.

“She married him and got ‘owned by Lee’ tattooed on to her body.

“No matter how many times people tried to warn her about his behaviour she refused to leave him.

“Then he walked off the face of the planet.

“Now he’s back online and has started following some American bird.

“You couldn’t make it up.”

DAN Osborne has shared a cryptic post about “letting go of what was” in what appears to be a nod to his split from wife Jacqueline Jossa.

The Sun revealed in March how the couple have decided to part ways after 13 years, during which they welcomed two children and weathered several cheating scandals.

Now, two months on, Dan has shared a post about how to find “happiness”, seemingly alluding to “letting go” of his relationship.

The former Towie star, 34, shared a number of beach snaps to Instagram, including several of himself topless.

He wrote alongside the carousel: “Happiness is found in 3 things: – Letting go of what was. – Enjoying what is. – And having faith in what will be.”

Dan’s collection of pictures showed him enjoying time on the beach during a trip to Miami.

He dubbed the US city “my favourite place” on his Instagram Stories, with Dan seemingly enjoying a boys’ trip out there.

During the trip, Dan admitted he wasn’t keen to come back home in another thinly-veiled nod at his split.

Earlier this week, alongside a picture of Miami Beach boulevard, he said: “I can’t tell you how much I don’t want to go back to reality”.

We first reported in March how EastEnders actress Jacqueline, 33, and former Towie star Dan,, had called time on their relationship after 13 years. 

The couple had been plagued by various split rumours in the months leading to the revelation as well as having had a very rocky marriage in the years leading up to the final decision.

Their marriage has been rocked by multiple cheating allegations against Dan, who admitted in 2020: “I’ve made mistakes.”

However, having given their relationship multiple chances, friends claim Jac has accepted it is doomed after living separate lives for months.

A source close to Dan told The Sun: “Everyone knows they’ve had their troubles, but after spending some time apart this year, they’ve decided to make the split permanent.

“Their two daughters are their main priority.”

It’s claimed former Towie star Dan moved out permanently in February into the house he was said to have bought behind Jac’s back in 2024.

LOVE Island’s Ty Isherwood has revealed he has undergone a hair transplant.

The reality star, 24, who rose to fame on the show last year, took to Instagram following the surgery to show his bandaged head.

Filming himself the day after undergoing the procedure, Ty admitted that despite covering it well, hair loss is something that has impacted his confidence for years.

Dressed in a grey hoodie and bandaged up, Ty told the camera: “For me, this has been something that has played in the back of my mind for a long time now.

“I’ve managed to keep it under wraps pretty well, I’ve always had a fringe since I was younger and It has always hidden it.

“I noticed it started slowly receding when I was about 19/20 and it has slowly gone back ever since.”

Ty, who is in a relationship with Love Island co-star Angel Swift after meeting on the show, said he had been taking hair growth medication such as Minoxidil for the last three years.

But in search of a long term solution, he opted to undergo the transplant for his hairline.

Admitting it all went fairly smooth, Ty continued: “The transplant itself took about 6 and a half hours, it was completely pain free.

“The only thing I didn’t like was the local anesthetic in the donor at the back. I’m not gonna sugarcoat that, it wasn’t very nice. But, once you’re over that, the rest of it was fine.

“For men, I think that losing your hair is a tough pill to swallow. For me, it was, I think it has affected my confidence for a couple of years. I’ve not been able to go about my day without actually thinking what my hair looks like.”

Urging his male followers to take the plunge if they are considering a transplant, Ty then said: “I wish I’d had it done sooner, I think it’d have put my mind at ease. I just feel so much more relieved now it’s done.”

Posting the clip to his 159K followers, Ty thanked Manchester-based clinic KSL for carrying out the transplant on him.

His girlfriend and Love Island co-star Angel took to the comment section to show her support as she wrote: “Proud of you my handsome boy”.

Other show alumni such as Wil Anderson, Giorgio Russo and Harry Cooksley also supported Ty in the comments.

Angel went along with Ty for the procedure, with the reality star revealing the couple were up at 6AM to drive to the clinic together.

OLIVIA Attwood has shared a slew of snaps from a luxury countryside break, with several fans spotting a very clear sign Pete Wicks was with her.

Last week the lovebirds were spotted at Heathrow airport after Pete picked up his podcast co-host and rumoured love interest.

And lastmonth, Pete and ITV star Olivia flew to St Tropez on a secret holiday after they were spotted publicly snogging in a Soho bar.

The pair have now added fuel to the fire… literally, by sharing near-identical snaps from near-identical getaways.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday night, Olivia shared a photo dump of a very plush stay at Estelle Manor – the same place Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton headed on a secret date weekend.

Among the photos Liv shared were snaps of her rescue dogs, stunning selfies, gym workout pics, and a close up snap of a rustic fireplace.

Fans were quick to spot how not long before Liv’s dump, Pete had shared a slew of snaps himself, with one of the photos being of the exact same fireplace.

Fans rushed to the comments section to speculate that Olivia and Pete had spent time together at the stunning manor house.

“I love the subtle you & Pete posting pics of the same fire. I love you two xxx,” penned one person.

“Interesting why you would lie on your stories about being there by yourself when it looks like the same fireplace on pete’s post,” added a second.

“@p_wicks01 has @olivia_attwood stolen your dog and your pad and pen??” asked a third.

“We need more @p_wicks01 content on here @olivia_attwood . I live and breathe for this shit on the daily! please give the people what they want,” pleaded a fourth.

“Ahhh Estelle Manor!!! What a place,” offered a fifth, while a sixth said: “If it’s good enough for Kim & Lewis….”

Meanwhile, on Pete’s post, one person wrote: “Waiting for your and livs pictures together………”

The talked-about pair reportedly begun their relationship at the Brit Awards on February 28.

A source close to the pair told us at the time that they were “dating and enjoying their time together.”

Their apparent romance heated up last month as they jetted off to St Tropez for a cosy holiday.

He was also spotted at her intimate birthday dinner earlier this month as they soft launched their relationship.

In a blink and you’ll miss it moment from one of Liv’s vlogs, Pete could be seen in the reflection in a mirror, smiling as Olivia celebrated her big day with her nearest and dearest.

She split from husband Bradley Dack back in January following a “breach of trust” on his part.

Olivia moved out of the marital home and into her own apartment in London.

PRINCESS and Junior Andre have stepped out to support dad Peter Andre’s exciting new role in an immersive experience.

As the brother and sister duo’s mum Katie Price desperately searches for husband Lee Andrews, Junior, 20, and Princess, 18, have been supporting their dad’s new Mama Mia! The Party role at a glitzy bash.

Heading out on Wednesday night, the Andre family put on a united display with Junior’s girlfriend Jasmine Orr, 25, and Pete’s wife Emily, 36.

The family headed to the gala night of Mamma Mia! The Party at The O2 Arena in the capital.

In the immersive experience, Peter, 53, plays the role of Nikos, a very charismatic and charming owner of the family-run Greek taverna.

The Andres attending the gala this week comes as Junior and Princess’ mother Katie, 47, continues to plead for her husband to be found.

IS THE PRICE RIGHT?

The 3 moves that’ll save Katie Price’s reputation – according to PR pro

The self-proclaimed businessman disappeared last week, with his wife Katie claiming he had been “kidnapped” and confirming earlier today she still hasn’t heard from him in almost a week.

Katie revealed how Lee, 43, had “disappeared” last week, after he failed to fly back to the UK for a Good Morning Britain appearance.

Lee told Katie in a voicenote that he needed an “exit stamp” to leave Dubai when he was claiming to be coming back to the UK.

But after he failed to get on a plane, Katie sensationally claimed he had been kidnapped and that the last she’d heard from him, he was in the back of a van with cable ties on his arms.

A source close to the ex glamour model told us earlier this week: “Lee is officially a missing person now.

At the weekend, Katie said: “I know there is all this speculation but something really serious has happened.”

Lee’s mum, Trisha, issued a desperate plea for the return of her son this week.

Asked if she had a message for those who knew Lee’s whereabouts, Trisha, who has filed a Missing Persons report with the British Embassy, told The Sun: “Please bring my son back.”

When asked about whether he had been kidnapped, Trisha replied: “I don’t know, he could have been.

“I’ve not seen the video.

“I don’t know the laws out there but I wouldn’t have thought they’d use cables. Wouldn’t they put handcuffs on?”

Trisha, who works as a travelling medium doing readings, confirmed she had a close relationship with Lee, who was born and raised in Nottinghamshire.

With sadness, she admitted she had not heard from him since last week when he disappeared. 

Trisha continued: “He has been there [in Dubai] for 22 years.

“It’s been six years since I went to Dubai. It’s been three or four years since he’s been here.”

Lee’s whereabouts is still unknown, with his wife Katie keen to get him found as soon as possible.

HIS fans have been speculating that something isn’t quite right between Jake Quickenden and his wife Sophie Church over the past couple of days.

And now his pals have ­confirmed to me that the couple, who married in 2022 and have two children together, have formally separated.

Former X Factor star Jake, who has also appeared on I’m A Celeb and Dancing On Ice, and Sophie are understood to have told their close friends and family about their decision to split.

“Jake and Sophie have ended their marriage but they remain incredibly amicable,” a pal told me.

“There is still a huge amount of love and respect between them.

“Their main priority has always been, and continues to be, their children, and they are fully committed to being the best parents possible.

“Over time, they started to grow apart and Jake and Sophie have had some long and honest conversations about this.

“While they might not be together any more, they are still on great terms and are looking to the future, co-parenting together. Maintaining a happy and supportive family unit together is their focus now.”

Jake and influencer Sophie got together in 2018.

They dated for three years before he popped the question during a holiday to Rhodes in 2021.

Jake spoke about his love for Sophie in the days following their wedding in Ibiza a year later, saying: “I thought it was an angel walking down the aisle.”

He went on to admit they wrote their own vows, joking: “I was saying, ‘I won’t leave empty wrappers in the cupboard any more’. I said, ‘I’ll still love her when she makes a noise when she eats like a squirrel’.

“I said at the end, ‘I think there’s only one true love and you’re my soulmate’.”

Although it hasn’t worked out, I’m glad to hear they’re still on good terms.

MGK’s swipe after Yung’s ticket rap

THEY were once close friends and collaborated on Acting Like That and Body Bag in 2020 and 2019’s I Think I’m Okay but Machine Gun Kelly has now declared war on Yungblud.

The US nonentity took a swipe after Doncaster rocker Yung spoke out about the ­rising cost of live music tickets.

In a video posted on Instagram, Yungblud – who cancelled several dates of his North American tour last year – said: “Live music has become inaccessible, that’s a fact. Artists are cancelling all the time based on lack of ticket sales, because it is an issue, it’s completely unaffordable for people.”

But MGK lashed out: “You cancelled a tour because you couldn’t sell tickets, blamed it on mental health then got paparazzi’d at Nobu the next day Pinocchio. Your tour tickets are the same price as every other artist. Shut the f* up you ­silver-spooned preachy w**r.”

Taking the higher ground, a rep for Yungblud – real name Dominic Harrison – replied: “He genuinely hasn’t got time to engage in this.”

Dom should now let his music do the talking. His last three studio albums went straight to No1, and earlier this year he landed a Grammy for his rendition of pal Ozzy Osbourne’s 1972 hit Changes.

MGK, meanwhile, has never hit the top spot here . . . 

Kylie strikes chord with pal Chris

KYLIE MINOGUE has revealed Coldplay frontman Chris Martin helped bring her new song Light Up to life by sending her a voice note.

I joined a handful of Kylie’s biggest fans at Spotify’s Listening Lounge in London ahead of the launch of her new Netflix docuseries simply titled Kylie, which dropped yesterday.

She explained: “I was coming out from the studio on the phone to Chris while I was working on [album] Tension.

“I told him some of the lines I had, and he asked if he could put some chords to them. Within half an hour, I had a voice note back from him.”

She added: “I can’t imagine Chris is ever very far away from a guitar or drums.”

As well as her new music, fans are finding a new resonance in Kylie’s older tracks following the docuseries – particularly 2023 release Story.

In the Netflix show, Kylie reveals that the closing track from her Tension album was actually about her second cancer diagnosis in 2021.

She sings: “I didn’t let the world know, I was fighting a big fight. Fighting a dark light. Raging hard on the inside.”

Kylie is one of life’s fighters.

Madge point

MADONNA has taken a swipe at Charli XCX after the Guess singer said she reckons dance floors are “dead.”

On her new song Rock Music, Charli sings: “I think the dance floor is dead, so now we’re making rock music.”

Madge’s dance-heavy new album, Confessions On A Dance Floor: Part II comes out on July 3, and she certainly doesn’t agree.

Her original Confessions On A Dance Floor in 2005 was one of the top albums that year and one of the best-selling records of the 21st Century.

So in response, Madge posted this snap on Instagram last night and wrote: “If your dance floor feels dead, maybe you’re playing the wrong music.”
Ouch.

All dolled up

THE PUSSYCAT DOLLS might have been forced to cancel their US tour but they want us to know it is business as usual.

Kimberly Wyatt, Nicole Scherzinger and Ashley Roberts came together in pink outfits to perform at a Huda Beauty event in London.

It was the first official comeback performance ahead of their shows later this year.

They hit Europe and the UK in September.

Frank in new goal

HE co-wrote one of the world’s best football songs with 1996 classic Three Lions, and now Frank Skinner is at it again.

Ahead of Euro 2028, Frank has written a new poem to kick-start BT’s partnership with the competition.

“If you properly care, then you’re properly there,” the poem reads.

“Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh, West Bromwich, ready to cheer, to revere and pay homage to our teams and our dreams, our fists punching the air or clenched in despair.”

Let’s hope it’s not the latter.

UNA HEALY has quit alcohol because she was sick of having a “rotten hangover”.

The Saturday’s star, who is five months sober, said on Instagram: “I’ve been asked, ‘Is it hard? Is it tough?’ Well, it is hard.

“Sometimes you feel like you’re missing out but you’re not missing out on that rotten hangover.

“If it’s one day without feeling like s**t because of drink, then bring it on.”

VENEZUELA Fury’s new husband Noah Price has worn his wedding ring around his neck while on their lavish £30k honeymoon.

The 16-year-old daughter of ‘Gypsy King’ Tyson Fury and Paris Fury said “I do” to amateur boxer Noah Price over the weekend.

The youngsters, who got engaged at Venezuela’s 16th birthday party last September, got married in a lavish ceremony on Saturday at the Victorian Royal Chapel of St John’s in the Isle of Man.

The newlyweds are now living their best lives in Marbella, with them both showing off their lavish £30k honeymoon online with their many fans.

Boxer Noah, 19, proudly wore his wedding band on a chain around his neck in a new video as he strolled on the beach with his new wife.

The couple were dressed head-to-toe in designer looks.

CARAVAN OF LOVE

Venezuela Fury’s caravan home with husband as she leaves £8m family mansion

Venezuela rocked a chic Versace outfit while Noah rocked a Loewe T-shirt.

The couple enjoyed lunch at the Sexy Pasta restaurant and documented their sweet date.

Venezuela’s parents Tyson and Paris paid for their £30,000 honeymoon trip as a wedding present.

It comes after Venezuela’s parents Tyson and Paris gifted the newlyweds a £5million and a traditional gypsy caravan as a wedding gift.

A source revealed to us this week: “Tyson and Paris gave Venezuela and Noah a wedding present of £5million to kick-start their life, obviously, they were over the moon.

“Some family members thought it was a lot of money for a young couple so there were some mixed feelings – but it’s up to Tyson and Paris. 

“Tyson also paid for the honeymoon and got them a traditional gypsy wagon as a sentimental gift. Tyson’s got one in his front yard.

“The wedding was magical and they spent £40,000 on Venezuela’s dress alone. That’s the gypsy way – go big.”

This comes after new wife Venezuela showed off her and her husband’s new home – a stunning and very modern caravan.

The young TV star is trading her family’s £8million mansion on the Isle of Man for the plush static caravan in East Riding of Yorkshire.

Taking to TikTok before jetting to Marbella this week, Venezuela shared a video montage of her new marital home, writing underneath it: “R first ever home so proud of my Noah.”

The luxury caravan home boasted of a stunning marble bathroom with a free-standing bath with gold hardware, 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.

On the exterior of the property, there is a sign that says: “The Manor House”.

“I love caravans and this is like the ultimate one of luxury! Beautiful. Wish u many happy years together and hope you enjoy your new home,” said one person.

“Class. beautiful wee home to start your new life,” penned a second.

“Looks really elegant wish you every happiness in.your first home,” wrote a third.

REALITY TV star Matilda Draper sizzled as she stripped off to a yellow bikini on holiday in Ibiza.

The 25-year-old split from her TOWIE boyfriend Roman Hackett back in March and fans were quick to point out how stunning the star was looking in her “single era.”

In another snap, Matilda flashed a smile as she showed of her enviable physique.

The star donned a pair of pink lensed Miu Miu sunglasses as she prepared for a night out on the town.

Matilda was spotted wearing a matching pair of plaid low-waisted trousers as she posed next to her pal Albie in a mirror at their hotel.

The pair went on a boozy night out at a beach club as Matilda was seen flashing her middle finger and kicking her leg up in the air as she laid on a sofa.

It seems the star is living it up post break up and fans were quick to applaud her.

One fan penned: “Entering her hot single era,” followed by three heart eye emojis.

Another fan wrote: “I’m actually obsessed with you.”

Meanwhile, her Love Island pal Uma said: “OH SHE’S SEXAAAAAY.”

Matilda and Roman, 23, went Instagram official in December 2024 but parted ways earlier this year after just over a year together.

The split left fans baffled as the pair looked very loved-up on social media.

A source told The Sun at the time: “Matilda is absolutely devastated about the split.

“They tried for a while to make things work but they aren’t together any more.”

HELEN Flanagan today looked incredible as she posed in a plunging white mini dress as she revealed she is now looking for her “fairytale”.

The new photoshoot comes just days after the former Corrie actress, 35, finally moved out of her Cheshire family home that she once shared with her ex-fiancé Scott Sinclair, 37.

After the big move, Helen is now keen to start a fresh chapter in her life.

To celebrate this new start, the sexy star thrilled fans by sharing an Instagram video of herself posing in a plunging white dress.

Posting the summer-inspired clip online, Helen was seen frolicking on a picnic blanket on the grass.

The actress pulled various poses to show off all her best angles.

CLEAN SLATE

At one point, Helen was seen seductively eating a strawberry.

Revealing she was starting a new chapter, the soap star penned: “I want the fairytale.”

It’s fair to say Helen’s fans went wild for her look, with one writing: “Beautiful lady.”

Another added: “Absolutely stunning!”

This fan swooned: “Stunning and classy!”

Last week, Helen was spotted moving all of her stuff out of the family home she once shared with ex Scott.

There’s no love lost between the pair, with the Ex On The Beach star previously slamming her former fiance for leaving her skint and having a lack of involvement in their kids’ lives.

The detached home near Bolton was in Scott’s name, but he let Helen and their three kids — Matilda, Delilah and Charlie — live there after the split.

Last year, we reported the house was put on sale for £1.5million before being reduced to £995,000.

Despite the loss, it means Scott has still made a £155,000 profit on the home having bought it for £840K in 2021.

But despite the house now being sold, a source told The Sun that things are still “far from rosy”.

“Helen said she wasn’t planning to talk to Scott or even look him in the eye, things between them are still toxic,” an insider revealed.

“All the conversations about moving and the furniture have mostly been over email.

“Scott is relieved the house has finally sold, but Helen is in limbo at the moment.”

In January, The Sun revealed how Scot was keen to get the home sold, while Helen wasn’t in any rush to move out.

A friend of Helen’s said at the time: “Scott pays for the house and all the bills and he’s decided a six-bedroom place is way too big for Helen on her own with the kids.

“But Helen doesn’t want to move and is digging her heels in.

“She loves the place, the kids are settled at the local school and her mum and dad live around the corner.

“Scott wants to buy Helen a four-bedroom home. He’s even offered to put it in her name but wants to stop the maintenance payments.

“The relationship has completely broken down. They no longer communicate — everything goes through her parents.”

FOR almost four decades, Kylie Minogue has soundtracked our lives with anthems of love, joy and heartbreak.

While her own personal life has seen both stellar highs and crushing lows — including failed romances, and cancer — she has kept calm and carried on, and on, then on some more.

As for those gold hotpants from her 2000 video for disco belter Spinning Around, they brightened up all our lives, to the point they are now under lock and key in a museum.

But as Kylie, 57, sits down with me for her only newspaper chat ahead of her self-titled Netflix docuseries that airs on Wednesday, she insists she is just like the rest of us when heartbroken.

In the TV tell-all, she recalls her devastating 1991 split from the late INXS frontman, Aussie Michael Hutchence, after a passionate two-year romance — and how she slept on a pal’s sofa in Paris while unable to face the couple’s old stomping grounds in Oz and the UK.

She had previously also dated Aussie actor-singer Jason Donovan — and when I ask if she’s ever “gone full Bridget Jones”, liked the unlucky-in-love soul of movie fame, she swiftly replies: “Oh, 100 per cent.

LOVERS’ CLIPS

Secret home footage of Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan unearthed for series

‘KYLIE’ SEX PEST

Manager fired after comparing feelings for colleague to Kylie Minogue hit

“I’ve had different relationships that all shaped me. Of course, I talk about Michael. I’ve also got Jason Donovan, who speaks so amazingly in the documentary.”

During the Netflix special, Kylie recalls how she struggled post-Hutchence — and tells viewers: “I didn’t know where to go or what to do. I knew I didn’t want to be in London and I didn’t want to be in Australia, so I went to Paris.

“I remember having a tiny English to-French dictionary. I didn’t know anyone, but had two numbers on a bit of paper. One of those was a friend of a friend of a friend of a friend of mine.

“She lived with a girl called Kat, who is now my oldest, best girlfriend. I moved into her apartment, got a sleeping bag and slept on the sofa. I was feeling heartbroken.”

Keen not to sugarcoat her life for Netflix, Kylie let director Michael Harte retain total creative control, even when she may have liked some bits left on the cutting-room floor.

In one episode, her former Neighbours co-star Jason remembers the moment Kylie left him for rocker Michael — explaining how they met him after an INXS gig before Jason watched the pair disappear into a hotel bathroom together.

Jason admits: “He wasn’t interested in me. I could sniff that a mile away. And she disappeared with him into the bathroom, which is fine. You know, we’re grown-ups.”

Reflecting on that evening, Kylie adds: “After the gig, Jason and I were invited back to the after-party. I would have been a bit like, ‘How did we get here?’ We were just talking about singer stuff.”

Kylie has been single since splitting from GQ magazine boss Paul Solomons in 2023, and insists she does not need a man to feel complete.

When I ask if she is happy, All The Lovers singer Kylie replies with a smile: “I’m super-happy, yeah.”

She told the Sunday Times’ Style magazine yesterday: “I don’t have a boyfriend. I was in a relationship, and when that ended, I realised I was OK on my own. I’m getting pickier. Narcissists . . . I’ve dated one and I’m grateful I now have that knowledge. That’s my red-hot ‘no’.”

Similarly, when Kylie and I last chatted, in October 2024, the I Should Be So Lucky singer told me: “There’s no one significant in my life and I feel content. I feel like this is my destiny right now.”

But she STILL fiercely believes in love — and enjoys watching it bloom for others.

We first met in 2023 while she was promoting 16th album Tension. I was shamelessly chasing a boy and, on my way to her Claridge’s hotel suite, bought a bottle of Kylie Prosecco for her to sign for him.

After our chat, she agreed, writing his name on the bottle and wishing me luck in my romantic pursuit. The next summer, he was my boyfriend.

During a brief meeting in 2024, at the British Summer Time festival in London’s Hyde Park, I thanked her for the part she had played. “See, I’ve still got it!” she happily told her team, punching the air.

But by the time we crossed paths in May 2025, outside her dressing room as she played London’s 02 Arena for her Tension world tour, I was single once more.

I mentioned I was seeing her show again the next night and bringing my ex. “Ooh, what’s the goss?” Kylie asked. Laughing awkwardly, I admitted I wished we were still together.

Meanwhile, in episode two of her Netflix series Kylie wells up as she admits she has been searching for a love like she shared with Michael ever since their 1991 breakup.

Kylie says to camera: “I haven’t quite got it. I’ve probably been looking for something like that ever since.

“He was a first for so many things and one was heartbreak. I was devastated. He was a rock star, which doesn’t just mean that he needs many women in his life, but he needed to go where he needed to go. But I know from people in his circle that he talked of me and thought of me. We were good together.”

Shrugging off the emotion, Kylie adds: “Shoulda, woulda, coulda  — whatever. But it was an amazing time. The memories make me feel good, even if I’m getting teary. It was good to have someone, to feel like you were a good team. I’m fortunate. The emotion and the memories I have with that time — I just felt protected, nurtured, valued, and believed in.”

Recalling Michael’s funeral in 1997 in Sydney, after he died at just 37, Kylie says: “At the church it was overwhelming, the outpouring of love for him. I felt him saying, ‘It’s OK. It will be OK’. I always feel he’s with me.”

But as we chat, Kylie wishes she had “stressed less” over the course of her career, and she admits she sometimes “didn’t manage it well”.

I am also relieved that — like me when love’s course goes awry — this global superstar so indentifies with Bridget Jones, as played in the films by Renee Zellweger.

In the series’ first film, Bridget Jones’s Diary, in 2001, the pyjama-clad protagonist has break-up blues as she clutches a bottle of wine and belts out power ballad All By Myself.

I doubt Kylie’s go-to heartbreak fixes are the same as my budget pairing — a £4.99 supermarket Pinot Grigio and Cadbury popping-candy chocolate bar. But I do recommend them, Kylie.

Of course, the other bombshell in Kylie’s life came at just 36 when, in 2005, she was diagnosed with early-stage breast cancer.

She had to pull out of a Glastonbury set and part of her Showgirl: The Greatest Hits Tour to undergo a lumpectomy as well as chemotherapy.
The next year she was in remission and given the all-clear.

But Kylie tells Netflix viewers: “I felt removed from my body. I was so scared of what was ahead of me.” Her singer sister Dannii adds: “We didn’t know, if she was ever going to be well again.”

It is hard to believe, though, how she has kept much of her off-stage life little known about.

When I put this to her, she nods and says: “It’s like, is there a monster under the bed? You build up this fear of telling.”

But she adds: “There’s enough behind me, and in front of me, that now has made it a good time. And what am I so scared of? It’s been a good exercise to have a look back at life, and find acceptance.”

In the docuseries, Kylie admits she was “riddled with self-doubt and anxiety” — and that those feelings still rear their head.

Kylie, who wrapped up her 66-date Tension tour last year, tells me: “I still have anxiety and self-doubt. No, not all the time, but a healthy amount is good.

“I know what I’m doing more now, which is satisfying. There’s definitely moments but that doesn’t permeate through.”

Although Kylie is now a superstar, she got there through steadfast resilience — proving critics wrong time and time again.

Her decision to quit Aussie soap Neighbours at the height of its success — when 24 million daily viewers was commonplace — was deemed by many as crazy.

Indeed, so popular was the soap that when Princess Diana missed just two episodes, she called up the BBC to ask after recordings.

Kylie’s sixth studio album, 1997’s Impossible Princess, was savaged so brutally by critics that radio stations refused to play her singles. A billboard even told the world Kylie was “over”.

Yet nearly three decades later, the 5ft powerhouse has never been more beloved. In December, she landed her eighth UK No1 single, ,and her first festive chart-topper, with Xmas.

A seasoned pro with interviews, Kylie usually has a slick answer ready for any question. But when I ask what she would say to her younger self, she takes her time before replying: “I still don’t know what’s ahead of me now — but I especially didn’t at 16.”

During the Netflix series, Kylie hits back at a suggestion she might be ready to slow down soon.

“Tell that to Cher and Barbra [Streisand]” she quips.

Both are plenty older than her — Cher recently turned 79 and Barbra 84 — and Cher, in particular, is still dusting off her suspenders and stockings for performances.

So, can we expect to see Kylie still doing The Locco-Motion at 80?

Beaming, she replies: “With all my heart, I hope so, yes.

“But how I’ve done this is, I am not a planner, I like to be fluid. I have a loose idea, I know what I want to do — but, yeah, maybe next week or this month.”

But while Kylie may still be up on stage in 2049, her famed gold hotpants will not. They are in a museum in Melbourne, Australia — but Kylie beams at my idea they belong in the Louvre museum in Paris, with the Mona Lisa painting.

Kylie says of the hotpants: “That would be amazing. But I bought them for 50p — my girlfriend found them in a secondhand store. I wore them quite rigorously so they’re fragile and the museum have said they have got to stay flat. They are in preservation mode.”

I also ask if “Kylie the pop star” ever feels like “Kylie the person” is forgotten.

But she feels fans want her to be both, adding of time on stage: “It’s a place for me to harness everything I’ve worked for and that I feel, and be expressive.”

The word “icon” is overused, but when I tell Kylie she is one, she replies simply: “I try.”

NEWLYWED model Roxy Horner soaks up the romance during her honeymoon on the Orient Express.

The 34-year-old took a bath as she and comedian hubby Jack Whitehall, 37, travelled from Venice to Paris.

Posting snaps of the train and dining carriage, Roxy wrote online: “Having a bath on a train is so romantic.”

The couple, who are parents to Elsie, two, married at a lavish ceremony in the Cotswolds last month.

We revealed earlier this month how Roxy wowed onlookers with her dazzling diamond wedding rings after marrying Jack Whitehall.

Mum-of-one Roxy showed off her multi-layered rocks while on a night out with Laura Whitmore at the launch of blow-dry specialist Duck & Dry at The Whiteley in Notting Hill.

The show-stopping multi-stone ring boasts a huge pear-shaped diamond sat next to a white gold oval eternity diamond ring, thought to cost around £13,300.

The 34-year-old looked stunning in a casual combo of flared diamante jeans, a nude crop top and leather jacket as she posed with the former Love Island presenter.

With her long blonde hair down in waves, she accessorised with red lips, tanned heels and the eye-popping jewellery.

Pregnant Laura matched her look in a leather jacket and red lipstick with her hair slicked back.

HIS love life has been almost as varied as his incredible songwriting catalogue.

Sir Paul McCartney endured the tragedy of losing first wife Linda to cancer and a catastrophic £24million divorce from Heather Mills before finally finding happiness again with American businesswoman Nancy Shevell.

But today The Sun can reveal the identity of the secret childhood crush who became Sir Paul’s “one that got away” — a pretty neighbour whose striking good looks inspired the opening track to his new album, which tells the story of his childhood in Liverpool.

The record was unveiled at a preview event in London this month, where the legendary Beatles songwriter recalled memories of a pretty neighbour called Jasmine, who lived close to his home.

Today, it has emerged she is retired mum-of-three Jasmine Howe, who left the area and resettled in Hertfordshire before retiring to the New Forest in Hampshire.

And the now 83-year-old’s ­family were stunned to learn of the £800million rock legend’s youthful infatuation — revealing she had “absolutely no idea” about his fondness for her.

They explained: “It’s a cute story, she lived nearby and knew who he was, but she never got close to him — meanwhile, he obviously felt very differently!

“It’s an amazing story — a very long time ago now, but we’ve chatted as a family in the past about how Jasmine grew up close to Paul McCartney.
Goosebumps

“She just knew him as one of the boys in the local area. It’s enough to give you goosebumps!”

The Boys Of Dungeon Lane is Sir Paul’s first solo album in five years, and critics say it is his “most personal to date”.

The title is taken from Days We Left Behind, a wistful acoustic track that references Dungeon Lane, near the River Mersey, where McCartney played as a boy, as well as a “secret code” and mysterious promise made to John Lennon at the time, which he insists “will never be broken”.

At a special event, held at the iconic Abbey Road studios in London where the Fab Four ­produced their biggest hits, Sir Paul played tracks from the new record and explained their ­origins — beginning with opening song As You Lie There.

The lyrics recall: “Do I ever cross your mind as you lie there? As you lie across your bed, am I there inside your head?”

Revealing the inspiration to a small invited audience, Sir Paul explained: “Up in one of the ­windows, there was a girl I ­fancied called Jasmine.

“But I didn’t know how to approach her — I never spoke to her.

“The joke was, she did show up later that year and knocked on the door. I was indisposed — I was on the toilet — so I missed Jasmine!”

Turning to his wife Nancy, who he married in 2011, he grinned and quipped: “Sorry, Nancy.”

Prior to meeting his third wife, Macca famously had quite a ­colourful love life.

His first serious romance was with Dorothy ‘Dot’ Rhone, who he met at the Casbah Coffee Club in Liverpool in 1959.

The pair dated for more than two years and even got engaged, but split just before Beatlemania exploded.

In 1963, Paul met actress and model Jane Asher backstage at one of the band’s concerts.

The relationship would last five years and Paul even moved into the family home on London’s Wimpole Street.

Jane was his muse and introduced him to the avant-garde arts and classical music scene, which would inspire some of his most famous songs.

Despite being charmed by Jane’s cultured family and domestic life, Paul had secret flings with model Maggie McGivern and US writer Francie Schwartz — betrayals that ultimately shattered one of the Sixties’ most iconic romances.

He met his second wife, model and amputee activist Heather Mills, at a charity event in 1999, marrying her three years later.

Their daughter Beatrice was born the following year. However, the pair split acrimoniously three years later with a very publicly played-out divorce — one that cost the star £24million.

However, the singer enjoyed real happiness with his first wife, American photographer Linda.

They married in 1969, raised four children together, and were ­inseparable until her death from breast cancer in 1998.

Growing up, Sir Paul lived with his parents at 20 Forthlin Road in Allerton, Liverpool, while Jasmine lived with her family on the corner of neighbouring Hurstlyn Road, just 20 yards away.

Both properties still stand in the south Liverpool suburb, nestled in a series of brick-built terraces — though Sir Paul’s is now owned and maintained by The National Trust as a museum.

The Trust operates tours around Sir Paul’s home and also John Lennon’s childhood home nearby.

Inside, the three-bed property has been meticulously preserved as a snapshot of 1960s Liverpool, including some of the family’s original decor — and a blue plaque outside commemorates “The Birthplace of The Beatles” as Paul and pal John would meet there to compose their earliest songs.

Jasmine later married her boyfriend Charles, known to the family by his middle name, ­Christopher, and they had three sons — Philip, Matthew and, amusingly, Paul.

A photograph of Jasmine posted online by a family member shows her looking elegant in a navy blazer at a relative’s wedding, with carefully cropped blonde hair beneath a wide-brimmed hat.

The relative explained: “She is 83 now and lives quietly. She wouldn’t want it to become any more of a story than it is — she had no idea that Sir Paul liked her, but she’s happy to leave it as that.

“It’s a good story for our family.”

The album, released on May 29, returns the world’s greatest living songwriter to many of his early memories and experiences, with Sir Paul going on to explain more about his 18th solo collection.

He said: “This was a lot of memories of Liverpool for me, but also any days we’ve left behind.

“Everyone’s got them, school, old mates  . . . It has memories of John in the middle — that’s lovely to go back to. Someone asked: ‘What’s the secret code?’ I’m not telling.

“You make up a lot of stuff when you write songs.”

And that admission may chime with Jasmine’s family, who later jokingly insisted: “She never ­actually knocked on his door.”

On another track, Salesman Saint, Sir Paul turns to his parents. “I was born in 1942, in the war. I was too young to appreciate that, but my parents weren’t.

“My dad was a fireman, putting out fires from the bombs. My mum was a nurse and midwife. But they carried on, because they had to.

“Like people in Ukraine, Gaza and elsewhere now.”

Meanwhile, Down South, one of the album’s most nostalgic tracks, recalls a story of hitchhiking with Lennon and fellow pal and later Beatles bandmate George Harrison.

The lyrics explain: “It was a good way to get to know you before we learned Twist & Shout.”

And reminiscing about the trip, Sir Paul reveals how he and George climbed on to a milk float.

He says: “There was the driver’s seat, a battery and a passenger seat. George got the battery. His jeans had a zip on the back and it connected with the battery. Later, he showed me the big zip burn.”

The new record was unveiled in Liverpool with a series of cryptic posters around the city.

Artwork for the project was designed by Sir Paul’s nephew, Josh.

It features cameos from Ringo Starr, The Pretenders singer Chrissie Hynde and Texas frontwoman Sharlene Spiteri.

And its release coincides with a series of major Beatles retrospectives — including Peter Jackson’s seminal Get Back documentary put together from restored archive footage that details the creation of their final album, Let It Be, and the band’s break-up.

But still to come is a major new dramatisation of the band’s rise to fame directed by Sam Mendes and with Paul Mescal as Macca.

The blockbuster will be released simultaneously as a quadrilogy in 2028, with each movie focused on one of the Fab Four’s formative years, charting their coming together as the world’s greatest musical group.

Filming with Mescal as Paul, Harris Dickinson as John, Barry Keoghan as Ringo and Joseph Quinn as George has already begun.

MOLLY Mae and Tommy Fury have been spotted out together a day after his niece Venezuela’s wedding to groom Noah Price.

The lavish nuptials took place in the Isle of Man with both Molly and their daughter Bambi, 3, in attendance – but Tommy was forced to skip the family affair due to ‘boxing camp’.

The two were seen walking with their daughter Bambi, who had a special role on the big day as one of Venezuela’s bridesmaids.

Pregnant Molly, 26, who is due to give birth soon, stepped out in a casual look, donning black tracksuit bottoms and a black coat, with a grey t-shirt that struggled to contain her bump.

The expectant mum finished her look with sunglasses and some UGG boots for maximum comfort.

Tommy also dressed down amid the reunion, in joggers and a hoodie, with Bambi looking sweet in a candy striped co-ord as she held on to her parents’ hands.

Despite Tommy’s absence it’s clear that Molly enjoyed Venezuela’s special day as she shared a number of sweet photos from the event afterwards.

Taking to her Instagram Stories, the Maebe founder shared some adorable snaps of Bambi in her pale blue bridesmaid dress.

Bambi was one of 13 bridesmaids, who matched Mother of the Bride Paris Fury in the same blue hue.

In one sweet photo, Bambi is seen being held by Venezuela who Molly dubbed ‘beautiful bridey’ in the caption.

Another photo saw Bambi pucker up for a kiss with her mum, who wore ablack jumpsuit, with a floral mesh style top for the occasion.

The tot was also seen looking with awe at Venezuela and groom Noah’s incredible blue cake that was almost three times the height of her.

The cake boasted five tiers and was accompanied with an impressive blue and yellow floral display.

“WOW,” read Molly’s caption as Bambi gazed up at the towering creation.

Venezuela stunned in a lace fishtail wedding dress with elaborate sleeves and a train spanning 50ft.

In a sit down chat with Sun Club ahead of the nuptials she told us exclusively how she designed the gown herself at Ava Rose Hamilton bridal boutique in Colne.

“I described what I wanted and it was as if they could see what was in my mind.

“You slip on these big sleeves and then they flare out and they’re like wings.”

Of the dress, mum Paris added: “I told her she was being eccentric, but the seamstress made her these beautiful big draped sleeves, they are like wings, they’re beautiful.”

Dad Tyson donned a black Tuxedo for the day, while Venezuela’s husband stood out in an ivory tux.

Clearly ready to become a married woman, the bride changed her surname from Fury to Price a mere hour after tying the knot.

LOVE Island stars Whitney Adebayo and Yamen Sanders have split after five months.

The pair found love in the ITV All Stars villa in South Africa in January – finishing in fifth place.

However, rumours have swirled of their break-up after the couple were navigating a long-distance relationship.

Whitney was based in the UK while American footballer Yamen was in the US.

A source told me: “Whitney and Yamen did try and put everything into their relationship.

“But it has inevitably been tough to keep up their romance long-distance.

“Whitney has been spending more time with her girls and has been leaning on them while navigating her break-up.”

Earlier this week, Whitney was spotted on TikTok with fellow Love Island star Millie Court having a girly night in.

The pair were seen in their pyjamas clinking glasses of red wine together with the audio ‘so we’re going to heal’ playing.

Sounds like Whitney has a hot girl summer pending.

IT’S no secret that Pete Davidson has been quite the ladies’ man in recent years, as evidenced by his string of high-profile partners and Hollywood hookups.

The 32-year-old comedian’s love life often made headlines for its unconventional stories, including impulsive weeks-long engagements and explosive cheating allegations from his famous exes.

It was thought that the Saturday Night Live alum was settling down for good with his latest girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt, after she got pregnant with their first child.

However, things took a turn following the birth of their daughter, Scottie Rose, in December, and the pair parted ways, The U.S. Sun exclusively reported on Thursday.

Now that Pete is back on the market again, interest has piqued about his dating history and the A-listers with whom he’s been romantically linked.

Cazzie David was one of the first well-known names to have dated the comic, and their relationship perhaps had the most surprising ending.

Pete was romantically involved with the actress for two-and-a-half years from 2016 to 2018, but the decision to call it quits wasn’t exactly mutual.

Cazzie opened up about their split in her 2020 memoir, No One Asked for This, claiming that Pete’s mental health had taken a serious toll on her toward the end of their relationship.

Pete has been open about struggling with anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder.

She recalled eventually breaking things off after a long internal battle, but changed her mind days later and attempted to reconcile.

However, Pete said he was “the happiest he had ever been” and wanted to continue their time apart.

“This 180 wasn’t what I’d expected, but it wasn’t unfamiliar. I said okay, and that I loved him, tears streaming down my face, and he hung up quickly,” Cazzie wrote.

The screenwriter alleged that shortly after, she discovered on social media that Pete had covered up his tattoos dedicated to her.

She also spotted a startling image of Pete with his new girlfriend, pop star Ariana Grande.

Pete and Ariana had a whirlwind romance that neither Cazzie nor fans saw coming.

The couple began dating in May 2018 and fell head over heels for one another.

Their relationship blossomed so quickly that they got engaged just three weeks into dating.

However, just like Pete, Ariana was also freshly out of a relationship with her ex, Mac Miller, when they got together.

Ariana dated the rapper for two years before they split the same month she began her romance with Pete.

When Mac passed away in August of that year from an accidental drug overdose, Ariana’s heartbreak put a major strain on her and Pete’s relationship.

The duo eventually broke off their engagement in October after only five months.

This sparked the beginning of Pete’s long list of A-list partners, and more eyes were drawn to the Staten Island native.

In early 2019, the actor briefly dated Kate Beckinsale, who is 20 years his senior.

They were spotted getting cozy at a Golden Globes afterparty and at a New York Rangers game during their time together. 

At the time, Kate told Extra that she was most attracted to Pete for his humor, saying, “Funny. I like funny.” 

However, after four months of dating, they decided to part ways.

Sources told People that their long distance was the primary reason for their split, though they remained “friendly.” 

Months later, The King of Staten Island star struck up a romance with model Kaia Gerber.

While also a brief relationship, the couple were pretty hot and heavy in the beginning, especially during their PDA-filled trip in Miami.   

They dated from October 2019 to January 2020, when Kaia began to notice red flags about Pete’s mental state.

An insider told Page Six that Cindy Crawford’s daughter was “overwhelmed” by the relationship and by Pete’s concerning, “intense” behavior.

Multiple sources also claimed that Pete’s mental health and addiction struggles were too much for the young supermodel to handle. 

Pete reportedly checked himself into a treatment program shortly after their breakup. 

After taking some time away, he was soon back on the dating scene and sparked another unexpected romance with newly single Kim Kardashian.

Kim and Pete began dating in October 2021 after meeting on the set of SNL.

The beauty mogul was a guest star on the show and performed a memorable Aladdin skit with Pete, who was a cast member.

Their feelings intensified into a full-fledged romance, in which they regularly hung out with each other’s families, including Kim’s four children, whom she shares with her ex-husband, Kanye West.

Pete even got a tattoo commemorating their relationship, which read “My girl is a lawyer,” and a branding on his chest that read “KIM.” 

Kanye, however, wasn’t thrilled about his ex’s new lover and went on numerous wild rants on social media slamming the Pete Davidson Show host.

Their romance didn’t last much longer, as Kim and Pete split in August 2022 after their relationship “ran its course,” sources told People. 

A few months later, Pete fell into the arms of supermodel Emily Ratajkowski, who had recently separated from her husband Sebastian Bear McClard. 

Rumors circulated in mid-November 2022 that the pair were an item after reports surfaced that they were in the “very early stages” of a relationship. 

They confirmed the chatter later that month when they arrived arm in arm for a New York Knicks game.

Their romance was short-lived as they split in December 2022, around the same time that Pete began dating his Bodies, Bodies, Bodies co-star Chase Sui Wonders.

Pete and Chase met when they were shooting the film in August of that year, though things didn’t turn romantic until later.

The pair were seen at a New York Rangers game and shopping at a Whole Foods Market in Brooklyn in the first days of their relationship. 

Although they initially denied their relationship, Chase was caught near Pete’s apartment, and the duo was seen enjoying a date night in New York City in January 2023, further fueling romance rumors.

Chase was also a passenger in the Mercedes that Pete crashed into a Beverly Hills mansion in March 2023, which earned the Bupkis star a reckless driving charge. 

The couple eventually ended things in August 2023 after less than a year of dating. 

Pete had a few other romantic flings over the last decade, including Carly Aquillino, Margaret Qualley, Phoebe Dynevor, and Madelyn Cline. 

However, right now, his suspected closest connection is with his most recent ex-girlfriend, Elsie, with whom he’s navigating co-parenting their less than five-month-old daughter.

A source exclusively told The U.S. Sun that Pete’s hectic work schedule and constant traveling while Elsie was at home with their daughter led to their breakup.

Another insider said, “Finding the best co-parenting solution is their top priority.”

Last summer, The U.S. Sun exclusively revealed the former couple was experiencing challenges in their relationship while Elsie was in the early stages of her pregnancy.  

A source claimed that their arguments were “out of control” and that the pair were “secretly recording one another.” 

Pete and Elsie began dating in early 2025 and announced their pregnancy that July. 

Both have yet to address their split.

REALITY star Katie Price has hit back at rumours her marriage to Lee Andrews is on the rocks as she shut down speculation in a feisty move.

The couple, who tied the knot in January, were due to appear on GMB on Tuesday but Lee failed to reach the UK leaving Katie to face the interview solo.

Lee’s no show further fuelled rumours of his travel ban, which could explain his many unsuccessful attempts at arriving in England.

After “businessman” Lee ditched plans to fly in, Katie called him out on social media saying he’s made me “look a d**k.”

Fans watched as Katie publicly questioned her husband for the first time and they were convinced the pair were heading for divorce.

But, Katie has clapped back, making fun of those discussing her marriage.

PRICEY MISTAKE

I fell for Dubai millionaire’s scam says Danielle Lloyd in warning to Katie

She reposted a picture of a Bratz doll blowing a kiss, with the caption: “Glad I’m the girl being talked about not the miserable one doing the talking.”

Earlier today Katie was forced to put out a statement addressing rumours of her marriage collapse.

She said: “Due to all the madness of trolling, people’s speculation and media frenzy that as a married couple we have both decided @wesleeandrews is taking a break from social media.

“And we are keeping things between us for now as it’s our life and marriage and are very happy.”

It seems Katie made quite the U-turn since she offered Lee a damning ultimatum just days ago.

She explained on her podcast The Katie Price Show: “I said to him, ‘If you don’t turn up to England this time, what’s the deal? Tell me what’s going on because I’m not flying out to Dubai now. I’ve got family, my kids and my job here’.”

Katie said: “If you can’t come to the UK and you are on a flight ban, it’s fine. Just tell me. Does it matter if you can’t fly out of Dubai for whatever reasons, whether it’s two years, three years or never, just tell me.

“I want answers. Just a bit of respect. Just tell me what’s going on.”

While Lee is taking a social media hiatus, Katie is still very much online.

She recently reposted a cryptic quote amid the Lee drama, which said: “Someone asked me what my favourite place is.

“I said: I don’t have a favourite place. I have my favourite people, my kids.

“Whenever I’m with my kids that becomes my favourite place.”

KATIE Price has dropped a huge hint that she’s already forgiven husband Lee Andrews after their recent public row sparked split speculation.

The former glamour model shared a gushing loved-up post on Instagram just hours after ditching her wedding ring in a new photo.

Katie Price had earlier shared a photo where she appeared to ditch the huge diamond wedding ring husband Lee Andrews gave her when they married earlier this year.

However, just hours later, Katie shared a post posing the hypothetical question: “What’s he like?” before responding with what appeared to be a gushing tribute to her husband, who was also tagged.

She wrote: “He’s like all the love I’ve ever poured out into the world finally found its way back to me, wrapped in human form.”

The couple had been rumoured to be on the rocks following Lee’s notable absence from Good Morning Britain this week, which led to Katie branding her hubby a “d*ck”.

After claiming he missed the flight due to business commitments, Katie defended him, while Lee later shared a social media clip hitting back at claims he had been detained.

However, speaking on her Katie Price Show podcast with sister Sophie Price, Katie admitted: “I have said to him, ‘You’ve made me look like a d**k, you’ve made yourself look like a massive d**k.

“He hasn’t made it to the UK and I’ve said to him he needs to make it to the UK, because if he doesn’t, then there’s obviously something not right going on.”

She added: “And if he does make it to England, it will shut all the rumours up.”

It came after Lee was caught in an airport lie – claiming he was travelling from Muscat when he was in fact in a terminal at Dubai Airport.

There is ongoing speculation that Katie‘s husband Lee, 43, is unable to leave the United Arab Emirates city after allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend Dina Taji’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan – something he’s strongly denied.

Jesy Nelson has celebrated her twins turning one with a lavish double birthday bash.

The singer posed with daughters Ocean Jade and Story Monroe surrounded by balloons and pastel party decorations at the sweet celebration.

But the former Little Mix star has also been reflecting on her emotional first year as a mum, sharing a touching video montage of her journey with daughters Ocean Jade and Story Monroe.

Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson were diagnosed with SMA1, a rare genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and movement difficulties.

Narrated by Jesy herself and set to soft piano music, the clip featured a poem about parenting children with disabilities and the difference between the motherhood she expected and the reality she has experienced.

The poem compares raising a child with additional needs to planning a dream trip to Italy, only to unexpectedly land in Holland instead.

Jesy Nelson insists ANOTHER Little Mix member wanted to quit before she did

Widely shared by parents of disabled children, the emotional piece explains that while life may not turn out how you first imagined, it can still be filled with beauty, love and joy.

It has become a well-known piece of writing within disability and parenting communities for its message about embracing a different path.

Jesy accompanied the video with a heartfelt caption which ended: “Happy Birthday my Ocean and Story you are my whole heart and soul I love you more than you will ever know.”

The 34-year-old described her girls as “tiny little super humans” and “he strongest, most resilient little fighters I’ve ever known” in a heartfelt caption.

The twins’ dad is rapper and singer Zion Foster, who began dating Jesy in 2022 and got engaged to the former Little Mix star last year.

However, the couple later split following the devastating diagnosis of their daughters’ SMA1 condition, though they have remained close and are continuing to co-parent together
