Fans took to TikTok to comment on the sassy video in which she’s swishing her long dark wavy hair.
Wearing a figure-hugging white vest top with a plunging neckline, the billionaire can be seen flicking her voluminous locks and giggling into the camera.
Applying lip gloss to her perfectly-preened face, the TV star rocked the ill-fitting giant diamond on her little finger.
The smitten pair, who have been dating since 2023, attended the 70th David di Donatello Awards in Rome, Italy together.

He directly addressed the Hulu star in his acceptance speech and said: “Thank you to my partner for three years.
“I love you. I couldn’t do this without you.
“Thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Katie, 47, is well known for her sexy snaps, and her latest ones were full of her usual glam.
The former pin-up shared racy pics of herself in a plunging white body suit, and other sexy outfits, that showed off her famously huge boobs.
The racy photos also showed off her slim legs, with the sexy outfit riding right up to the top of her thigh.
However, despite Katie’s photos having the wow factor, eagle-eyed fans were distracted by an unusual object in the background.
As the former glamour girl posed up a storm, on her bedside cabinet was none other than a jacket potato.
The cooked spud was on a plate and sitting in the shelf of the table.
Fans were left in stitches after spotting the potato, and immediately started to comment, with one saying: “Why is there a jacket potato on the side table?” (followed by a laughing emoji).
Another added: “I’m loving the potato randomly in the background!”
This one said: “I think the potatoes jacket is good!”
Along with the cheeky comments, many fans also rushed to compliment her on her outfit, with one saying: “You look amazing.”
In a sad confession on the latest edition of her podcast, TheKatie PriceShow, she said: “I absolutely love myself but I don’t love myself when I look in the mirror, that’s the difference.”
In the same podcast, Katie revealed she was getting yet another cosmetic procedure done.

She explained how she was getting her lips done again and said how she gets them done every two months.
“I’m getting my lips done on Monday. They are shocking,” she said to her sister.
Her sister Sophie Price then asked: “Why? Why?”
Katie responded: “Why? Look at them.”
Sophie then said: “Can I just ask how many times in a month do yo get your lips done?”
“Once every two months,” Katie revealed.
She added: “Because they dissolve so quick because I’ve got a high metabolism.

A fan-favourite star from Stranger Things took on a minor Game of Thrones role before becoming a household name
Joseph Quinn, known for his role in Stranger Things, had a minor part in HBO’s smash-hit fantasy series Game of Thrones, and fans are just now discovering this unexpected link.
The British actor is most recognised for his portrayal of the standout character Eddie Munson in the fourth series of Netflix’s popular supernatural horror drama.
He has since secured the iconic role of Johnny Storm, also known as the Human Torch, in Marvel’s The Fantastic Four: First Steps and will be playing George Harrison in the eagerly awaited four-part Beatles cinematic event.
However, before he became a familiar face, he played a small role in the seventh and penultimate season of Game of Thrones as Koner, a soldier loyal to House Stark.
In the episode titled The Spoils of War, Koner is seen guarding Winterfell’s gate alongside fellow soldier Henk (played by Danny Kirrane) when Arya Stark (Maisie Williams) arrives and insists on being let in, reports the Express.
The soldiers mock her and dismiss her, believing Arya to be dead, and instruct her to leave when she requests to see Jon Snow (Kit Harington), who they inform her is thousands of miles away.
Eventually, Arya manages to bypass the soldiers by warning them of severe repercussions if her sister and the castle’s head, Sansa Stark (Sophie Turner), learns of their refusal to let her in.
Koner and Henk argue over who will accompany her to Sansa, while Arya seizes the opportunity to sneak through the gates.
Viewers who haven’t watched the episode since its original broadcast in 2017 were left gobsmacked after a recent Reddit discussion jogged their memories about the Stranger Things actor’s early television role.
“I was today years old when I realized that Joseph Quinn (who plays Eddie in Stranger Things) was also in GoT!” one fan wrote.
Another viewer on X recently made the connection as well, writing: “Love when you go back to an older show and notice a now established actor in the start of their career.
“Joseph Quinn in Game of Thrones. Never realised he was in it.”

Emmerdale star Amy Walsh shared sad news with her Instagram followers on Wednesday
Emmerdale star Amy Walsh has suffered a heartbreaking loss as fans rushed to support her. The 38-year-old actress, who plays Tracy Robinson on the ITV soap, took to Instagram to share sad news on Wednesday (January 7).
Amy shared a post on her Story which announced the death of actor Frazer Hammill. “Rest in peace you wonderful man,” she wrote alongside his picture.
Frazer was known for his appearances in Justice League, Last Laugh, Happy Valley and Abraham’s Point, as well as playing a prison guard in Emmerdale back in 2021.
The John Godber Theatre Company shared the devastating news on their official Instagram page, writing: “We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Frazer Hammill. It is impossible to put into words how much he will be missed by all of us who had the absolute joy of working with him.”
The Yorkshire-based company added, “Frazer had a huge, loving heart and enormous talent. We are all heartbroken.”
A devastated Amy wrote in the comments: “There are no words,” alongside three broken heart emojis. Lots of other people shared their sadness, alongside memories they had of the former youth theatre member.
“Shocked and saddened to see this, sending my thoughts to his family and loved ones,” one person wrote, with another adding: “A gentle spirit and a huge heart. Love to all.”
A third said, “What a brilliant person and performer he was! We’re all deeply saddened to hear this,” with another sharing similarly, “Truly heartbroken.”
A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: “Such sad news, I’ll always remember his lessons and his kind words. Thinking of his family and friends at this hard time,” with someone else writing: “What an absolute gem of a man. A true loss to the world. RIP Frazman.”
Amy joined the cast of Emmerdale in 2014. The star has been part of several memorable storylines during her time in the Dales. Tracy notably endured the death of her father, Frank Clayton (Michael Praed), embarked on an affair with Caleb Miligan (William Ash), and was caught up in last year’s horrific limo crash.
The shop worker also lost her husband, Nate Robinson (Jurell Carter), after he was murdered by killer John Sugden (Oliver Farnworth) in September 2024.
In a flashback clip, John, who was killed by his sister Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) in the Corriedale crossover this week, injected Nate with an unknown substance with the intention of “saving” him. However, Nate had an adverse reaction to the medication and tragically died.
John then drove Nate’s body to the bridge and pushed the concealed corpse into the lake, where the limo crash had notably taken place.
Since joining the ITV soap, Amy has been nominated for several awards for her portrayal of Tracy. She was nominated for Serial Drama Performance at the 25th National Television Awards, as well as Best Actress at the 2021 Inside Soap Awards and Best Soap Performance at the I Talk Telly Awards the same year.
Emmerdale airs weekday nights at 8pm on ITV1 and STV, and Coronation Street airs weekday nights at 8.30pm on ITV1 and STV as part of ITV’s new soap power hour scheduling pattern for Coronation Street and Emmerdale
Emmerdale fans think they have worked out who Rhona Goskirk keeps having secret and cryptic phone calls and messages with, and it could be a familiar face on the ITV soap

Viewers of Emmerdale believe they have figured out who Rhona Goskirk keeps calling.
During the call she said: “Have you done it?”. It’s not yet clear what she was talking about and who the caller was. Then on Wednesday, she yet again secretly called someone.
This time the person did not answer, with their identity not shared. She sighed over not being able to speak to the person, and had a desperate message for them.
She was heard telling them: “Call me back as soon as possible please. April is going to the police.” She sounded like this was something that would impact them, despite April planning on reporting Ray and Celia Daniels over her ordeal, including drug dealing and sexual exploitation.
So why would Rhona be so against this, and who would she try to warn? Is it linked to Ray’s murder which is yet to be made public? Viewers are starting to speculate that the return of Rhona’s ex Graham Foster could be tied into the plot.
Graham rose from the dead during Corriedale, making a shock appearance after being killed off in 2020. He was on the phone in the scene, yet another cryptic phone call.
Now, fans are theorising that the scenes were linked, and Rhona has been calling Graham. One fan said: “It has to be Graham – surely!” as another wrote: “Graham methinks…”
A third fan agreed: “Yes, Rhona still having secret phone chats today and I did wonder if it was to Graham.” Another fan suggested: “I’m so confused about Rhona’s mystery phone calls recently and I don’t know who we’re meant to think it is.
“It seems to be every time Ray is mentioned but also seems weird it’s just as Graham has returned, and so I wonder if it’s Graham she is speaking too and if maybe he’s involved in Ray dying.”
Another viewer said: “I think she’s already been in contact with him,” as a further post read: “She rang Graham.” Another read: “I think it was Graham who Rhona spoke to they were together when he allegedly died I think it was Graham who killed Ray.”
The suggestion kept on being shared as a fan wrote: “Rhona’s got Graham to kill Ray maybe?” A fan also said: “Rhona phoned someone to warn them that April was going to the police station to report all that’s happened so that left me more confused… is Rhona in contact with Graham?”
It’s safe to say several fans think it was Graham as the comments continued. One thought included: “It has to be Graham right? Seems like too much of a coincidence otherwise.” A further one read: “I defo think it’s Graham. Who else would it be?
“They needed to build something on the lead up to his grand reveal in Corriedale and tie up the Ray thing quickly as the SL with him and Celia came to an end so abruptly. Soap writers are clearly a big fan of this “back from the dead” trope at the minute, after bad coat Becky rocked up in Weatherfield, and Cindy arrived fit and well in Walford after dying in prison.”

Jen said finding motivation to work out was hard but persevering gave her a buzz.
She explained: “That feeling is what brings me back.”
Last year she told People: “No pain, no gain. That’s not true at all.
For years, the blonde beauty swore by the idea that pushing her body to the extreme was the only way to stay fit, as she confessed: “I always had the message in my brain.”
She advised: “You gotta do 45 minutes of cardio, then floor work and then weights.”
Through her ongoing partnership with Pvolve, a low-impact fitness program, Jennifer has completely transformed the way she thinks about exercise.
She shared: “You can actually enjoy your workout, not break your body, and have an incredible transformation.
“In all the workouts I’ve tried over the years, this one has transformed my body more than any of the others.”

Jetting off on a winter getaway is a desire many people have and travellers have been urged to give specific packing methods a try to help them potentially save hundreds of pounds

11:45, 06 Jan 2026Updated 11:45, 06 Jan 2026
Packing for the airport is a tedious task that can prove expensive if you’re not careful (stock image)(Image: Getty Images)
People jetting off abroad this January have been urged to be careful when it comes to packing, or risk having to pay a costly baggage charge at the airport. Frigid temperatures, icy weather, and persistent snowfall in some parts of the country have got many people fantasising about a winter getaway.
Those lucky enough to be going on holiday this winter have to be careful when it comes to their clothing, though – especially items used to ward off the January chill. According to a spokesperson from Ski Vertigo, bulky winter items are one of the biggest causes of unexpected baggage fees during January travel.
They say this is because travellers often pack heavy coats and footwear without realising how quickly weight limits are exceeded. Airlines charge for bags that go over set size and weight limits – and fees can add up fast.
Baggage charges vary depending on the airline, flight route and more. Typically, there’ll be higher fees for checked bags, with overweight bags typically incurring charges of between £12 and £25, or sometimes more, per extra kilogram beyond the designated allowance.
It’s best to always check your specific airline’s policy before flying to avoid any unwanted surprises at the airport.
A spokesperson from Ski Vertigo said: “Excess baggage charges can reach well over £100 per flight, with some airlines charging per kilo once limits are passed. For families or return journeys, costs can quickly reach £200 or more.”
In a bid to avoid this, experts recommend wearing the bulkiest items during your outbound journey. Thick or long coats, chunky jumpers and heavy boots take up a lot of space in suitcases and can quickly weigh it down. Ski Vertigo advises wearing these items through the airport in order to free up room in your luggage and avoid weight issues at check-in.
Once you’re through security, you’ll be able to remove those outer layers to make the journey more manageable while still taking advantage of the extra space in your bag. The pros also recommend stuffing accessories like gloves, socks, and scarves inside packed shoes, as empty boots and trainers can take up excessive space and, when empty, that space is often wasted.
This can be useful on winter trips, where these items are necessary, yet may be forgotten until the last minute. Adding them to shoes in checked bags ensures they’re readily available – and they can provide an added layer of protection for your shoes.
Ski Vertigo said limiting coats to one versatile option is also “key”. Many people pack multiple coats “just in case”, only to wear one throughout the trip. A single insulated, waterproof coat works for airports, city breaks, and winter destinations, reducing both bulk and weight.
The spokesperson added that January travellers often underestimate how strict baggage checks can be. Despite winter travel requiring heavier clothing, airline limits remain the same all year round. Many passengers are stuck having to pay excess fees at the airport after packing bulky items like ski jackets and boots into their bags.
One person took to Reddit and asked: “So let’s assume you are only allowed 23 kg per suitcase, but you have more. How much tolerance leeway do you have and what does it depend on? What are your experiences with excess baggage and goodwill/room for manoeuvre?”
In response, one person simply said: “It depends on the agent so my advice is… I wouldn’t risk it but you can if you want to invite hassle and annoy people around you.”
Another added: “Most airports I have been to they will charge you for being over the limit at all. It’s a limit for a reason. Plan on being slightly under the limit unless you want to plan to argue with the staff. Seems rude though.”
Alan Carr, who won Celebrity Traitors last year, is in a new series with Amanda Holden — and fans have already taken to social media, including X and Instagram, to express their love
03:07, 06 Jan 2026Updated 03:10, 06 Jan 2026

Alan Carr fans believe the comedian has already made one of the TV moments of the year.
The star, who won Celebrity Traitors last year, was seen falling headfirst down a waterslide last night during his new show, Amanda & Alan’s Greek Job on BBC One. The scene, recorded at a water park during the duo’s break between renovating their latest property in Greece, left viewers in hysterics.
Fans liked it so much they dubbed the clip the best TV moment of 2026 so far, less than one week into the year. One X user said: “Alan Carr with the highlight of the year already?!” Another posted: ” know it’s only January 5th but Alan Carr falling out of a rubber ring on a water slide is TV moment of the year”.
Amanda persuaded Alan, 49, to take a turn on a slide called The Black Hole, warning: “It’s pitch black, you won’t see anything”, to which he nervously replied: “That sounds awful!”
But Alan accepted his friend’s challenge, asking the lifeguard to “pray for him”. The presenter then pushed himself down the long tube, while sat in a large rubber ring. Before long, the Chatty Man star was flipped head over heels out of the inflatable and came hurtling out of the tunnel, to Amanda’s guffaws.
And viewers at home were amused too. They heaped praise on the host, who beat Ant and Dec, Graham Norton and Sarah Millican to win a BAFTA for Alan Carr: Chatty Man. Alan, born in Weymouth, Dorset, emerged adored by the nation after creating TV gold on Celebrity Traitors. He was linked with the Strictly vacancies but it emerged last week his 2027 tour clashes with that year’s season of the BBC show.
The clip showing the slide escapade has been widely shared on social media. In the programme, he is then comforted by Amanda, 54, who wraps the distressed comedian in a towel. The programme, on the BBC, is Alan’s first TV gig of 2026, during which he will also appear in a Channel 4 competition series with Susie Dent, and compete in Amazon Prime’s LOL: Last One Laughing UK.
But last year, Alan was picked as the Traitor by Claudia Winkleman, 53, in the dramatic first episode of the star-studded version of the BBC show.
Joking he had a “sweating problem”, openly laughing at banishments and unable to call himself Faithful with a straight face, it seemed unlikely that he would be able to keep up appearances until the bitter end.
In the woodland they ran into Kit Green who was knocked out by John, before the brothers found each other and the shotgun went off – shooting Cain in the stomach – but he still got up and went on to hunt John down.
Later at the hospital while he was getting treatment for the gun wound, Cain was given a shock diagnosis.
He was told that he had cancer and was set to face a battle ahead.
Emmerdale fans were left devastated for Cain, with one writing: “I literally said to my dad earlier I hope David and Cain are fine, David’s unknown and now Cains got cancer I hate my life hahaha.”
A second said: “Oh no, not Cain. I hope he gets better.”
A third commented: “Poor Cain, devastated for him.”
John finally paid for his crimes as the show sparked a new whodunnit.
His death was revealed as Victoria Sugden was seen standing over John’s body in the woods but who killed him remains a mystery.
Another exit hint came when Becky Swain was finally arrested for her crimes – by her wife Lisa who was in an ambulance bed at the time, handcuffing her to herself to stop her fleeing.
Elsewhere, a soap favourite returned from the grave tonight.
Throughout the episode a man in a hooded raincoat could be seen with a woman tied up in the back of his van.
The woman knocked herself out on a tree while fleeing him, and was found to have a distinctive tree tattoo – that was also seen on Corrie’s Shona Platt, hinting at a connection between the pair.
But the big shock came when the man’s identity was revealed as Graham Foster.
Graham famously died in Emmerdale in 2020 when he was murdered by Pierce Harris, his body left to rot in woodland in a huge whodunnit mystery.
He was seen in the hospital having got Joe Tate there, and Joe appears to have seen a glimpse of Graham before he slipped away.
Fans of the show will have to wait to find out where Graham has been and how he is linked to the mystery new woman.
Emmerdale fans think a major red herring is tricking us after a Corriedale twist saw John Sugden meet a grim demise on the ITV soap, with Victoria Sugden hinted to be the killer
21:48, 05 Jan 2026Updated 21:49, 05 Jan 2026
Emmerdale fans think they know who really killed John Sugden in the Corriedale crossover(Image: ITV)
Emmerdale fans think they know who really killed John Sugden in the Corriedale crossover, after the episode teased it was Victoria Sugden.
As Emmerdale joined forces with Coronation Street for a special episode, villain John, played by actor Oliver Farnworth, met a grim demise. With suspects aplenty, the shocking cliffhanger alluded that his sister Victoria had caused his death.
That said it wasn’t onscreen, and there were other residents chasing him throughout the episode. John was on the run after his crimes were exposed earlier this year.
His husband Aaron Dingle’s failed attempt to get him to the police led to John fleeing with a gun. Corrie detective Kit Green set chase, only to be knocked out.
This led to a showdown with Robert Sugden and Cain Dingle, before John fled again. After some more chasing, Robert and Cain ended up at the hospital, only for us to see John dead in the woods with Victoria looming over him, shaken.
So has Victoria really killed her brother? Or has she simply found his body? What was she even doing in the woods? Answers will be revealed, but some fans are questioning of someone else is behind the murder.
They predicted we’ve been made to think Victoria has turned killer, when on fact she may have found him dead. Fans instead think Kit Green or Chas Dingle may have been the real killer.
One fan said: “Kit,” as another asked: “Who reckons Chas killed John?” A third questioned: “Did Victoria kill john or find him?” A fourth fan said: “Victoria was standing over John doesn’t mean she killed him.” Another added: “True was too dark to tell if she had the gun, still not sure how she popped up!”
It comes as cast members teased far-reaching consequences for the soaps going forward after Corriedale. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, Shona Platt actress Julia Goulding teased how the big event will impact Shona and her husband David Platt.
Julia told us: “Imagine David and Shona and their life is a ball of wool. Imagine what would happen if a cat got hold of it, it would unravel.” Sally Carman-Duttine added: “There’s a possibility lives will be forever changed. There was a lot of frantic energy. We were all on a night shoot.”
As for Theo Silverton actor James Cartwright, he promised both soaps would never be the same. He told us: “There’s moments that will have real far-reaching consequences.
“It will change soap land forever. Soap land will never be the same again because of it. It’s like a meteor coming to Earth. You can take cover but it’s landing!”
MICKEY Rourke is begging for cash on GoFundMe as he turns to fans to save him from being evicted from his Hollywood home.

The actor’s fundraiser was kicked off yesterday morning citing the actor had given his “full permission”.
The page, called Help Mickey Rourke Stay in His Home reads: “Today, Mickey is facing a very real and urgent situation: the threat of eviction from his home.
“This fundraiser is being created with Mickey’s full permission to help cover immediate housing-related expenses and prevent that from happening.
“Mickey Rourke is an icon—but his trajectory, as painful as it is, is also a deeply human one.
“It is the story of someone who gave everything to his work, took real risks, and paid real costs. Fame does not protect against hardship, and talent does not guarantee stability.
“What remains is a person who deserves dignity, housing, and the chance to regain his footing.”
The statement added: “The goal is simple: to give Mickey stability and peace of mind during an extremely stressful time—so he can stay in his home and have the space to get back on his feet.”
The page is being run by his friend Liya-Joelle Jones who told the Hollywood reporter: “Mickey is going through a very difficult time right now, and it’s been incredibly touching to see how many people care about him and want to help.”
The actor — born Philip Rourke Jr. — began renting the three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home on March 30 under a lease of $5,200 per month.
The lawsuit involving his possible eviction states the rent was raised to $7,000 per month starting in his second month of occupancy.
Court documents obtained by the Daily Mail and filed in LA’s Superior Court showed the actor was served a three-day notice on December 18.
Mickey was ordered to pay overdue rent or vacate the property.
Mickey is best known for films such as Angel HeartCredit: Getty
According to the complaint filed by landlord Eric T. Goldie, Mikey owed $59,100 at the time.
When a process server attempted to deliver the notice, the actor was not home, so the document was posted outside the residence.
The property carries historic significance in Los Angeles.
Built in 1926, the house was occupied in the 1940s by legendary crime novelist Raymond Chandler, according to the Los Angeles Times.
It sits in the Beverly Grove neighborhood, just south of West Hollywood and a few blocks from The Grove shopping center and the adjacent Farmers Market.
REMOVED FROM CELEB BIG BROTHER
The lawsuit marks another blow for the star, who has had a tumultuous twelve months.
At the time ITV issued a statement and said: “Mickey Rourke has agreed to leave the Celebrity Big Brother house this evening following a discussion with Big Brother regarding further use of inappropriate language and instances of unacceptable behaviour.”

The Masked Singer UK fans believe they’ve worked out the identity of Gargoyle
The Masked Singer fans ‘unveil’ Gargoyle’s identity and they’re a 90s music icon(Image: ITV)
The seventh season of The Masked Singer UK premiered on ITV on Saturday (January 3), with fans trying to work out the identities behind the first group of characters.
The debut episode saw performances from Sloth, Can of Worms, Gargoyle, Disc Jockey and Moth. At the end of the night, Disc Jockey and Gargoyle found themselves in the bottom two after receiving the least amount of votes from the audience.
The judges – Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Mo Gilligan and Maya Jama – chose to save Gargoyle, meaning that Disc Jockey became the first star to be eliminated, with The One Show host Alex Jones soon being unmasked.
Now, several viewers believe they know the famous face behind Gargoyle, with Sheakspears Sister singer Marcella Detroit being named.
“My guess for Gargoyle. Marcella Detroit from Shakespears Sister. The voice fits, as she’s known for her high-pitched vocals,” one person wrote on Reddit.
“She put a photo of Sally Webster face down on a table, and Marcella co-wrote the song Lay Down Sally with Eric Clapton. She also worked on his 1976 album No Reason To Cry (Sally and 1976 being clues).
“She talking about not being pigeon holed, which makes sense for Marcella because she was ‘pigeon holed’ as a backing singer for big stars before joining Siobhan Fahey in Shakespears Sister, with Siobhan even suggesting Marcella change her name to give herself a new lease of life and leave the backing singer life behind.”
The viewer continued: “She said things in the clue package that hinted that she really was American, or from another country, and just visiting the UK. Shakespears Sister’s biggest song Stay was released [on] January 13th 1992 – which is why January 13th was one of the major clues.”
Others seemed to agree with this logic, with someone responding: “Oooh, I think you might be onto something here,” with another adding: “This is a good guess ngl.”
On Saturday night, Gargoyle sang the Scissor Sisters’ 2004 hit Filthy/Gorgeous. The judges shared several guesses, including Chrissie Hynde, Helen Flanagan, Ruby Wax, Frankie Bridge and Mollie King.
The follow-up episode, which aired on Sunday (January 4), saw six new characters take to the stage, with performances from Arctic Fox, Conkers, Toastie, Tea Bag, Yak and Monkey Business.
Yak and Tea Bag received the fewest votes from the audience, with Tea Bag becoming the second character to be eliminated. Rapper Professor Green was soon revealed to be behind the mask.
“[The mask] didn’t make singing any easier, I’ll tell you that much… It was quite fun. It was nice being able to hide behind a mask and just be silly for once and just really, really go for it,” he told host Joel Dommett after his unmasking.
The Masked Singer is available to stream on ITVX

When a clip from the interview was shared on TikTok, fans immediately rushed to comment on the similarities between the actress and her famous mum Pamela Adlon, who voices Bobby from King Of The Hill.

“I know sometimes people get annoyed when they see someone’s face too much.
“I didn’t know if it was going to be too much at the same time with the show and the movie. I didn’t want to throw people off.”

Yak performed for the first time on Sunday night’s episode of The Masked Singer and fans were convinced they knew who it was just moments into their performance

Yak took to the stage for the first time on Sunday night’s edition of The Masked Singer, and their identity has already been “rumbled” by viewers at home. The hit ITV singing competition features celebrities dressing up in extravagant costumes to belt out pop songs whilst judges Davina McCall, Jonathan Ross, Maya Jama and Mo Gilligan try to work out who they are.
They then followed this up with a rendition of Tom Jones’ classic Sex Bomb. Davina thought it was Busted star Matt Willis, Jonathan suggested it could be Adrian Edmondson, whilst Maya guessed it was Fatboy Sl,im and Mo seemed convinced it was comedian Leigh Francis.
Fans at home were quick to have their say, with many theorising that it was broadcaster and former politician Gyles Brandreth, who regularly debates topics of the day on This Morning alongside regular hosts Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard. One viewer wrote on X: “Yak – possibly Gyles Brandreth??? Literally random guess lol Or someone Scottish??,” whilst another said: “Yak sounds like Gyles Brandreth.” and a third added: “Yak is making me laugh, what is going on hahaha! Is it Gyles Brandreth?.” However, another believed it could be Benidorm star Steve Pemberton.
Upon her unmasking, she told host Joel Dommett and the judges: “I have had a lot of fun. We love this programme, as a family, and I just thought, it would be a lot of fun and that to do it for my children would be wonderful. And it’s the most bizarre experience of my life! Thank you.” Emotionally dedicating her time on the programme, Alex, who is married to Charlie Thomson, said: “Teddy, Kit and Annie, this was for you. I hope that you’ve loved it.”
The former Strictly Come Dancing star, 48, then closed out her time on the competition with an unmasked rendition of Pink Pony Club to massive applause from the studio audience. Following her exit from the show, Alex admitted she wanted her performance to serve as an inspiration to her children.
She said: “I want them to know that overcoming fear is a good thing. I am not a singer but I gave it a go, and I think that’s the take home for them. I won’t be able to bear it but they will be so excited, hopefully it will be something special they remember when they grow up. They’ll think ‘God, our mother, do you remember when she dressed as a disc jockey and she sang on national television without any sort of voice?’”
As well as Gargoyle, other stars still in the competition include Red Panda, Can of Worms, Moth, and Sloth. On Sunday night, Monkey Business, Teabag, Toastie, Yak, Arctic Fox, and Conkers will perform for the first time.
It all came after Anne-Marie had been unmasked as Goldfish, having been performing as the lead singer of a group called No Trout in a first for the programme. After performing as Bruno Mars and Rose hit APT, the judges correctly guessed the identity of the singer.
Following her unmasking, the songstress said: “When I was at school, I had a very short attention span! I’m used to the voice just going that way [in front of me] but in the thing, it was like ‘Oh, that’s what I sound like!” She then gave her first unmasked performance for the studio audience of her signature track 2002, which famously references music icons like Britney Spears, Jay-Z and NSYNC.
Fans of The Traitors are searching for answers over the show’s new twist – the Secret Traitor. But viewers think they may have spotted a massive blunder in the background of The Traitors: Uncloaked

Eagle-eyed Traitors fans are convinced they have sussed out who the secret traitor is, after an apparent blunder on spin-off show Uncloaked. With the most recent season of The Traitors starting on New Year’s Day, the format was switched up slightly by BBC bosses, who added in a ‘secret traitor’, as well as the three traitors as usual.
But when fans were watching The Traitors: Uncloaked, they spotted what some thought was a blunder on the show’s behalf. Clocking the photos on the wall behind the hosts, one X user wrote: “Why are the 3 traitors pictured on the wall…..with Harriet.”
Another added: “Spoiler: The portraits of the traitors are in the background of #traitorsuncloaked…. Plus an additional one. Harriet the secret traitor! #TheTraitorsUK #Traitors”
A third posted: “Have Uncloaked revealed the identity of the Secret Traitor already?… Imagine though, what a plot twist!? #TheTraitorsUK #TheTraitors”. Although it’s unlikely the producers would make a mistake so obvious, fans are so desperate to crack the puzzle, they are getting “suspicious” over anything – including contestants’ handwriting and choice of words.
During a confessional, psychologist Ellie said she was hesitant as she didn’t want people to think she is the “Secret Traitor”, leading fans to question how she knew those words if the Faithfuls are unaware of this year’s twist. In the interview room, Ellie said: “People will question whether you are sitting and watching as a kind of Secret Traitor…”
Picking up on her choice of words, one fan asked: “Anyone notice Ellie talking in the interview room and saying ‘people will question whether you are sitting & watching as a kind of secret traitor’.”
Another added: “Ellie saying ‘don’t want to look like a secret traitor’ as a faithful who don’t know about a secret traitor??? Suspicious wording.” And a third agreed: “Ellie saying ‘thinking I’m some secret traitor’, why would you say secret and not just traitor unless it’s on your mind?”
Host Claudia Winkleman introduced the new twist to the show on January 1, revealing that for the first time, there would be a fourth traitor, who is unknown to everyone – including traitors and viewers. This secret traitor, who is awarded a scarlet cloak, would call the shots, picking a shortlist of three people that the other traitors could murder.
Speculation is rife among fans, with everyone dying to know who the new secret traitor could be. Last night’s episode (January 3) saw tensions only rise among the traitors, with viewers almost witnessing the uncloaking of the secret traitor.
After Hugo was betrayed by fellow traitor Stephen, the first traitor was banished. The remaining two were set a secret mission that could help them uncover the identity of the secret traitor.
Stephen and Rachel had to highlight the family tree of players with red ink, saying who could be murdered. If they marked nine names, they would not only get to murder a player that evening, but they would also meet the secret traitor.
They succeeded in their mission, but not before almost giving themselves away to Reece. As such, that night, the secret traitor made their way to the traitors’ turret.
But with the credits rolling, viewers will have to wait until at least Wednesday 7 January to find out who it is. That’s if the show reveals it at all.
She made her debut in the panto playing the Wicked Fairy in Sleeping Beauty.
Other lesser known stars taking part in Panto this year include Call the Midwife’s Laura Main and Helen George.
The Sun understands there is set to be a huge shake up of London panto as a series of decade long contracts expire.
A source said: “Many of the famous faces in the Palladium’s panto have been on contracts locking them in for years – some as much as a decade.
“They are now all running out so bosses are ready to shake things up.”

This house is a national treasure in Wales, having featured in every series of the much-loved TV show Gavin and Stacey. Now, fans of the sitcom can experience it for themselves.
Affectionately known as the ‘Lush House’, guests can spend the night in the South Wales home that belonged to Gwen and later Dorris in the series. Located on Trinity Street in the heart of Barry, this iconic red-bricked terraced house served as a filming location for the show for many years.
It even became the central family home in the final episodes, making it particularly special for fans. Now, those eager to immerse themselves in the world of the show can book a minimum two-night stay.
Since its television debut, the house has undergone a bit of a makeover, with a fresh coat of paint and some modern updates for the comfort of its guests.
This slice of British TV history comes equipped with all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay, all while knowing you’re in rooms once graced by TV royalty.
The property can accommodate up to five guests, making it perfect for a group getaway to the seaside, where you can explore other locations featured in Gavin and Stacey.
As for sleeping arrangements, there are two cosy bedrooms: one with a double bed, reminiscent of the one our favourite couple stayed in, and another featuring two twin beds in a bunk – ideal for children.
Downstairs in the communal living areas, guests can enjoy unlimited rewatches of their favourite episodes with a TV and Wi-Fi. Plus, an electric fire ensures the place stays cosy and warm, making it a perfect getaway for all seasons.
It’s worth noting that the property also features a dishwasher, saving you time on washing up, and a washing machine for those planning a longer stay. Additionally, there’s a quaint garden patio area for those moments when you fancy some fresh air.
Beyond the confines of the home, Barry has plenty to offer, and it’s all conveniently located right at your doorstep. With roadside parking available, it’s easy to jump in the car and explore the town, just like your favourite telly family.
You can take in the iconic Barry Island promenade, complete with arcades and fish and chip shops for a quintessential British seaside experience. Why not drop by the much-loved Marco’s Café or even try your luck at the slot machines where Nessa used to work, and where some of the show’s most hilarious scenes took place?
Aside from the Gavin and Stacey highlights, the area boasts a wealth of attractions for families, including the lively Barry Island Pleasure Park. For those who prefer the great outdoors, Porthkerry Country Park offers stunning woodland walks with breathtaking views of the Bristol Channel.
You can secure a minimum of two nights’ stay in the Lush House, with prices starting from approximately £472, though rates fluctuate during the summer months. Reservations can be made online through Sykes Cottages.
The Night Manager has returned with both Tom Hiddleston and Hugh Laurie as executive producers.
22:16, 01 Jan 2026Updated 22:19, 01 Jan 2026
The Night Manager season two has landed, but it didn’t take fans long to complain about a glaring problem.
Tom Hiddleston fans have been eagerly awaiting his return to The Night Manager, an unforgettable BBC drama that originally aired in February 2016.
Starring opposite Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman, The Night Manager season one revolved around ex-soldier Jonathan Pine (played by Tom Hiddleston), who was hired to infiltrate the inner circle of a secretive arms dealer.
Despite series one getting rave reviews, viewers had given up hope that it would return for a second season, but to everyone’s delight, the series two renewal came in April 2024.
The Night Manager season two finally made its debut this evening, Thursday, January 1, once again focusing on Pine, now known as Alex Goodwin, who works as part of the nocturnal surveillance unit, the Night Owls.
But it isn’t too long before he spots a familiar face from his past with Richard Roper (Hugh Laurie), taking him down yet another dangerous path.
Fans couldn’t wait to tune into the new series, but many couldn’t help but make the same complaint on X, formerly Twitter, as they struggled to remember season one.
“Watching #TheNightManagerS2 when you already have a notoriously bad memory,” someone joked.
A second echoed: “Was going to watch the #TheNightManagerS2 but I can’t remember #thenightmanager so will have to rewatch series one. Anyone else doing the same thing?”
“I have no idea what is going on”, a third began.
“Not sure if it would be easier to follow if they didn’t keep cutting back to characters from 10 years ago that I have forgotten about.”
A fellow user remarked: “Was struggling to understand why I couldn’t for the life of me remember what happened in season 1 of #TheNightManagerS2 only to Google it and see that it aired TEN years ago?????? Girl bye.”
Someone else posted: “The recap hardly helped, I can’t remember what happened last week, let alone what I watched on TV 10 years ago”, as another added: “The Night Manager is really testing everyone’s memory right now.”
Despite fans having an issue with remembering what happened in series one, others have also been praising the new season.
Someone labelled the debut episode as “outstanding” and “brilliant”, while a fellow viewer commented: “Well that didn’t disappoint!!! Episode 1 of The Night Manager- Phew – must resist the temptation to binge!”
Thankfully, fans won’t have to wait very long for the second episode, with the next instalment set to air on Sunday, January 4, at 9pm.
After this, The Night Manager will continue to be shown every Sunday in the same timeslot.
The Night Manager is available to watch on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
Now Christmas is over for another year, many people are making plans for the new year – including travel plans to destinations with great weather and activities to do

After the expense of Christmas, and the ongoing cost of living crisis, finding reasonably priced options for holidays or a spot of travelling can be quite tricky. Social media is rife with ideas, recommendations and tips from experienced and novice jet-setters alike.
One person turned to Reddit looking for a viable option for a trip with their girlfriend this month. The couple want to spend 30-35 days abroad, with a budget of around £2,600 to £3,000, excluding the cost of their flights.
That sum would purely be their spending money for “accommodation, food, transport, activities, etc”. They live in the Baltics, so would be flying out from either Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia and were “open to any destination – Asia, South America, Africa, Europe, islands, you name it”.
Their main requests were for “good weather (ideally warm/sunny in Jan); a mix of nature, culture, and relaxation; a destination that’s good value for money over a full month of travel;” as well as the option for “adventure”, including “hiking, wildlife, or just exploring new places”.
They asked guidance from people who’d done a similar trip or had “any suggestions on where to go”. And fellow Reddit users were keen to share their thoughts and recommendations.
One person said: “Two weeks in Northern Thailand (Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai). Five days in Bangkok. Two weeks on Islands in Southern Thailand (Koh Lipe, Koh Phanang)”.
Another agreed: “Can 100% recommend Koh Lipe. It is a small island so you’ll probably max out of things to do after about four days unless you’re happy just lazing by the beach all day.”
A third said: “It’ll be summer in the southern hemisphere if you’re looking for warm weather. New Zealand comes to mind as it sounds like you’re looking for nature – haven’t been there myself but the pics look incredible”.
But someone else replied: “That budget won’t get you far in NZ for that long sadly”.
Another suggested: “Tanzania and Zanzibar might suit you”.
To which, someone else shared: “I am leaving Zanzibar tomorrow after a week here. It has been great. The people are friendly and the beaches are great.
“Even the vendors on the beach are easygoing and fun to chat with. There is a good range of accommodation options too, and the food has been awesome. Asante sana.”
Another recommendation came for south east Asia: “Malaysia would be an excellent option. Accommodation, transport and food is very cheap and there’s lots to see.
“I’d visit Penang, Langkawi, Perhentian islands, Borneo, KL and Cameron Highlands. You’ll get to see lots of wildlife, hikes, history, beaches etc.”
And another said: “El Nido, in the Philippines would work, as would Da Nang in Vietnam or one of the kohs in Thailand. If you haven’t ever ‘done’ the ‘Banana Pancake Trail’, that’s really the first place that I would start. Start watching flights to BKK [Bangkok].”
Offering a different perspective, one person said: “Northern Turkey is fabulous with all its ancient sites from Roman and Greek eras especially on western side.
“The lodging and food is very inexpensive. The wine is excellent. Istanbul area is also great. Also greatly enjoyed Athens Greece with all its history. Food and drink was fabulous. Ate at one restaurant which gave us unlimited after dinner wine.”
Celebrity Apprentice fans were left stunned after Lord Sugar announced the winners on Tuesday

The Celebrity Apprentice winners announced as fans fume over ‘fixed’ result(Image: BBC)
The Celebrity Apprentice winners were announced on Tuesday (December 30), with fans claiming the results were “fixed”.
The first of two festive specials for BBC Children in Need aired on Monday (December 29), seeing 12 well-known personalities jet off to Lapland to craft their own Christmas gingerbread biscuits and devise marketing campaigns, complete with adverts and catchy jingles.
Team one comprised Tom Skinner, Matt Morsia, Shazia Mirza, Angela Scanlon, Sarah Hadland, and project manager JB Gill. The rival squad included Charlie Hedges, AJ Odudu, Jake Wood, Kadeena Cox, Eddie Kadi, and project manager Rob Rinder.
JB’s team dreamt up Gary the Penguin, an unusual creation combining bubblegum and white pepper flavours. Rob’s team countered with Jolly Mc Trouble, a gingerbread featuring vanilla and Christmas pudding notes, though their batch ended up slightly overdone, reports Wales Online.
Tonight’s episode saw both teams showcase their creations to a panel of industry retailers at a central London venue.
Matt, Shazia, and Tom stunned their fellow contestants when they revealed their promotional video, which prominently featured Tom screaming whilst dressed in a penguin outfit.
After completing market testing sessions with groups of youngsters, the teams began fine-tuning their crucial presentations. The celebrities also tapped into their personal networks to secure advance orders.
For the pitch, JB’s group brought in Rylan Clark alongside Gladiators stars Montell Douglas, Livi Sheldon and Matty Campbell – also known as Fire, Diamond and Bionic. In contrast, Rob secured video messages from several celebrity pals, including acting legends Benedict Cumberbatch and Olivia Colman.
When they returned to the boardroom, Lord Sugar praised Rob’s team for their compelling biscuit backstory and Jake’s carefully crafted advertisement. Yet in a surprising turn of events, JB’s team secured victory after attracting the highest number of orders.
Rob’s team managed to secure 355,500 units, whilst JB’s team racked up an impressive 452,000 orders. Despite this, viewers at home were left unimpressed by the outcome, taking to X (formerly Twitter) to voice their displeasure.
“Fix, how did they win with that crap?!” one viewer posted, whilst another questioned: “How the f*** did that team win with that diabolical advert.”
A third viewer expressed: “Shocked that the Gary The Penguin team won. They had the worse TV advert and their flavours were disgusting. Jolly Mc Trouble should have won.”
However, one viewer supported the winning team, commenting: “I’m pleased Gary the Penguin won as even though their ad was awful, the product made far more sense (and the jingle was catchy)!”
As the episode concluded, project manager Rob brought Kadeena and Jake back into the boardroom, where Lord Sugar ultimately decided to fire Rob.

Gogglebox stars Sue and Steve Sheehan have celebrated a special family milestone
Gogglebox’s Sue and Steve stun fans with snap of rarely-seen daughter
Gogglebox stars Sue and Steve Sheehan have stunned fans with a snap of their rarely-seen daughter.
The married couple first joined the cast of the Channel 4 show back in 2019, and have since become fan favourites with their witty commentary from the comfort of their stunning South London home.
Steve, a retired black cab driver, and Sue, who is semi-retired, have been married for nearly 47 years. They have two daughters, Leah and Kate, as well as a grandson named Roman.
Sue and Steve took to Instagram on Saturday (December 27) to share a rare photo of their youngest daughter Kate as she celebrated her 40th birthday.
“Our 2nd born 40th birthday today. Happy Birthday my darling, celebrations later,” the caption read, alongside several photos of Kate over the years.
Sue later shared a throwback photo of their daughter when she was younger, as well as one of her 40th birthday cake.
“The beautiful retro cake made by @claires_cakes5 and the old holiday photo,” she wrote.
On Monday (December 29), the stars went on to share more photos of a celebratory dinner for their daughter, which took place at Boys Hall restaurant in Kent.
The caption read: “A good time was had by all @boys.hall sharing a special birthday with the family.”
Several Gogglebox fans have shared their well wishes in the comments section, with one person writing: “Beautiful young woman, happy happy birthday. Best wishes to your gorgeous daughter.”
Another added: “Happy birthday to your lovely girl,” while a third said: “What a beautiful girl happy birthday.”
A fourth fan echoed the sentiment, saying: “Stunning girl you have!” with another similarly sharing: “Your daughter is absolutely beautiful. You have every reason to be proud.”
The news comes after Sue announced that she had Bell’s Palsy, which causes temporary weakness or paralysis in the muscles on one side of the face.
After an extended break from Gogglebox, the star told viewers that she had to “relearn” a couple of things since the diagnosis, explaining: “One is to speak through the side of my mouth, and the other one is chewing. Chewing takes a long time.”
Steve then joked: “I have offered to chew your food for you, but you declined. I’ve gotta say, you haven’t lost the sharp side of your tongue though, have you?”
“No, it’s sharper than ever actually,” Sue quipped in response.

IT’S rare for an X Factor star to still be around 16 years after losing what was once the biggest show on TV but Stacey Solomon played the long game – going on to become one of the busiest women in entertainment.
Stacey’s brand is in trouble after fans slammed her for being out of touchCredit: BBCAn ’embarrassing’ rant after losing out at the Baftas this year didn’t helpCredit: Getty Images for BAFTAStacey was accused of bragging when she flaunted her £30k a WEEK holidayCredit: Unknown
The Sun has been told that mum-of-five Stacey is in panic mode as the negativity increases, desperate to get people back on side.
A source revealed: “The bottom line is Stacey is no longer relatable.
“People think she flaunts her wealth and moans all the time – now Stacey’s being advised to rein it in and shut her mouth or risk ruining everything she’s worked so hard for.
“The plan is for Stacey to go back to basics and remember who her audience is. No more bragging about expensive holidays and keeping in mind not everybody is in her position”
Stace cashed in on her relatable ‘ditzy’ personality and – instead of chasing a record deal – turned her attention to social media and the fast cash that comes with being an influencer.
A Loose Women gig ensured she was always in the headlines while online posts sharing her tips and tricks for keeping a house going soon turned into something much more lucrative, releasing books and launching prime time BBC show Sort Your Life Out.
She also signed with the BBC for the fly-on-the-wall series Stacey & Joe, which gave viewers a regularly uncomfortable insight into the ups-and-downs of her marriage to Joe Swash.
It has all helped determined Stacey, 36, build up an estimated net worth of £7.3million and live a comfortable life in a £1.3million Essex mansion she calls Pickle Cottage with Joe and her children.
But nobody likes a show-off and Stacey’s girl-next-door mask has been slowly slipping for some time now, with fans turning on her for “flaunting her wealth”.
Earlier this year she was branded “smug” after bragging about her latest family holiday to Turkey, which set her back a staggering £30,000 a WEEK.
Not exactly the kind of holiday that most of Stacey’s followers – who ironically helped pay for the OTT break – can aspire to.
And even Stacey’s crafting is becoming increasingly out of budget for the average person.
Stacey shares Rex, six, Rose, four, and two-year-old Belle with Joe, 43.
She is also mum to Zachary, 17, and Leighton, 13, from previous relationships.
Someone wrote: “Looks amazing….effective and dreamy..however I think the cost of flowers would be quite high for a lot of people… x.”
And another added: “Very expensive for the lay folk x.”
In another move which drew criticism, viewers of on Stacey & Joe were quick to notice her enthusiasm for plugging her private side-hustles – including fashion, homeware and perfume brands.
The repeated appearances of Stacey’s products, some seemingly laid out for the cameras, drew accusations that the show was breaching strict BBC rules against ‘talent’ promoting products on-screen.
PANIC MODE
Stacey is someone who’s undoubtedly used to a bit of backlash here and there – a thick skin is required to survive in her industry.
Sort Your Life Out was nominated in the Entertainment category but lost out to Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour.
Stacey was furious – and didn’t hold back when she took to Instagram to share her thoughts.
She said: “We didn’t win a Bafta. And I know I’m supposed to take it gracefully like a champ but, I’ll be honest, I’m devastated!
Even Stacey’s crafting at home is becoming unattainable for most fansCredit: InstagramThe BBC show controversially featured some of Stacey’s lucrative side-hustles including a meeting with the people behind her perfume – with the products laid out for the cameras
“I’m not handling it very well, I’m not taking it very gracefully – I’m devastated! I’m devastated for our whole team, like I’m so gutted for our team.”
She told Magic Radio: “They’ve put Sort Your Life Out and Stacey & Joe in the same blummin’ category for some reason – we’re up against each other which is absolutely ludicrous.”
Our insider said: “Stacey’s been made aware the public aren’t fans of whinging – the Baftas meltdown was embarrassing and she came off as entitled.
“And the only thing she should’ve been was grateful when both of her shows were given nods at the NTAs.”
During a tense phone call, a furious Joe branded his wife “out of order” before hanging up on her.

He didn’t hold back, confessing: “Stacey’s like the permanent teacher and I’m the substitute teacher that the kids just take advantage of.”
We’re told something else bubbling away is Stacey – who has six million Instagram followers to Joe’s two million – often left feeling like the backlash from the public is mainly aimed at her.
A source said: “Things between her and Joe are tense at times because of the sudden unrelenting backlash.
“Stacey tells Joe she takes the brunt of the negativity and that he should be more understanding of the pressure she’s under.
“They love each other and their marriage is totally solid but when she wants to be Stacey can be cutting.
“On more than a few occasions a row has resulted in her telling him she’s sick of being the breadwinner – which is a real kick in the teeth for Joe.”
And fans should expect a much more down-to-earth approach on the family show, with Stacey desperate to be seen as a relatable, hard-working mum once again.
