Millie Mackintosh reveals she was suicidal when hungover – before quitting booze

According to insiders, Millie is desperate to cut ties with Made In Chelsea – the show that made her famous – and move away from being known as a former reality star. 

As a result Millie – who shares Sienna, five, and three-year-old Aurelia with husband Hugo Taylor – has decided to make a fresh start and sign with YMU, the home of stars including Ant and Dec and Claudia Winkleman. 

It’s thought that Donna has been left “deeply upset” by what she allegedly feels is a “betrayal” from Millie. 

A source told the Daily Mail: “Millie has become increasingly disenchanted with still being known as an ‘ex Made In Chelsea star.’ 

“Whatever venture she tips her toes into, the label seems to follow her everywhere – and she’s had enough.

“The show made her name, but she hasn’t appeared on it for over a decade and to her, it feels like another life.

“So, in order to finally make a clean break from it, she made the difficult decision to part with Donna.

“They have been friends for over a decade, Donna is the godmother to Millie’s children, they have holidayed together for years, and share countless memories.”

Sources also claim that Millie has added to the snub by unfollowing Donna on Instagram. 

The Sun has reached out to Millie’s reps for comment.

Mystery swirls around the Strictly results show as the couple eliminated is leaked during the show’s taping, despite audience members handing in their phones

Questions are being raised about how spoilers are leaked about the Strictly Results show, as the couple eliminated was revealed while the results show was still being filmed.

Every Saturday, the Strictly main show airs live, but the Sunday results shows are filmed immediately after the live show is screened with the same audience sitting in for both. As such, the audience are aware of who has gone home almost a full day before the wider public are.

To prevent the result leaking, audience members are not allowed to have their mobile phones in the studio and those that bring phones with them are required to hand them over to security.

They can collect them from when they leave. However, the celebrities, their family and friends, pro dancers and production crew are all allowed to keep their mobile phones.

Despite the tight control on communication from the audience to the outside world, spoilers for the results show have continued to leak as it is filmed, making some wonder how this is possible.

Spoilers have long been an issue on the show, but this is the first year where they have leaked as filming is still underway. A source told the Sun that spoilers “plague” the show.

“Spoilers have plagued Strictly for years with fans struggling to avoid finding out who leaves before the Sunday results show airs. Now, results are ending up online while the cameras are still rolling.”

There are multiple ways that spoilers from the show are leaked, but those dropping during the show’s filming appear to be leaked to a TikTok user called Shirleigh Humphreys.

Shirleigh, who goes by Shirleighshirlz, consistently streams her live reaction to finding out who has been eliminated around 10:30pm on a Saturday, a time when filming sometimes has not wrapped on Strictly Come Dancing.

In one video, she revealed that she gets her information during the show’s filming: “I have my own moles and this particular mole was fantastic for giving us live coverage of the Strictly Results while it was taping.”

Last week, Harry Aikines-Aryeetey found himself in the dance off with La Voix, and the judges ultimately decided to save the Drag Race star, sending Harry home.

With Vicky and the bottom of the dance-off, there is some fear that the Geordie Shore star will be heading home. This week is an important one for celebs to make it through, as next week, they head to Blackpool for the one of the series’ biggest shows.

While the spectre of Bale is inescapable with Wales, Johnson had another impossible act to follow at Spurs, joining in the same transfer window that saw Harry Kane leave for Bayern Munich.

“He came in at quite a weird time for the club. I’m not sure they really had a good plan for how to replace Kane,” says Jack Pitt-Brooke, who covers Spurs for The Athletic.

“Johnson came in at a difficult moment but, with injuries to other players, he ended up playing tons that year and he was actually pretty good.”

It helped that it was then-Spurs boss Ange Postecoglou who signed Johnson, who scored 23 goals in all competitions during his first two seasons.

“He fitted what Ange wanted from wingers,” Pitt-Brooke adds. “Really high and wide, scoring goals where a winger goes down one side, pulls the ball back across the box, and the opposite side winger taps it in. Johnson was good at both delivering that cross, and also tapping it in at the far post.”

Under Postecoglou, Spurs won the Europa League – with Johnson scoring the winner in the final against Manchester United – but the Australian was sacked this summer after the club finished 17th in the Premier League.

Thomas Frank replaced him – and the Dane replaced Johnson, with Kudus.

“Frank wants to play a different way, and he wants his wingers to do a lot more on the ball than just score tap-ins,” says Pitt-Brooke.

“Spurs paid £55m for Kudus, who doesn’t score many goals, but everything until he gets to the opposition goal is much better than Johnson.

“At the moment, I don’t think any Spurs fan would have Johnson in their first-choice team. It’s not really clear where he fits.”

Johnson has managed four goals in his 17 appearances in all competitions this season but, according to many supporters and pundits, does not offer much else.

“He doesn’t really do a lot apart from scoring goals,” says Pitt-Brooke. “There are obviously worse things to be than a guy who’s just known for scoring goals, but I think people would probably have expected him to have done more.

“He’s a bit of a mystery.”

LILY Allen was spotted looking rather cosy on a date night with a mystery man in London.

The smile singer, 40, was snapped stepping out of Michelin-starred Dorian in Notting Hill on Tuesday evening with a handsome fella called Jonah Freud.

Jonah is a writer but is best known as the son of PR executive Matthew Freud and Caroline Hutton.

Matthew is the nephew of the celebrated late artist, Lucian Freud.

The pair seemed enamoured in one another’s company, smiling and making eye contact in a seated leather booth.

Lily dressed for the dropping November temperatures, wearing a grey sweater, a long dark coat and a leopard print scarf.

She finished off the outfit with a messy bun and a pair of opaque tights and chunky platform boots for a cute, casual look.

Meanwhile Jonah opted for a classic white T-shirt and dark trousers.

After they finished their meal, the possible couple-to-be stepped out into the night, clutching a brown paper bag filled with leftovers.

This is the first time Lily has been seen out on a date since her fling with actor James Norton earlier in the year.

The former flames were first pictured cosying up at a Charli XCX concert at Lido Festival in London after reportedly meeting on Raya.

At the time it had only been a month since James had split from his model girlfriend, Charlotte Rose Smith.

A source told The Sun: “James and Lily looked very into each other and they were snogging backstage. 

“We were all quite surprised to see them there together, let alone kissing.

“I don’t think they’ve even known each other that long, but it was a fun hang-out backstage and they got taken away by the vibe.”

Prior to Lily’s fling with James, she was in a long-term relationship with Stranger Things‘ David Harbour that notoriously ended with a cheating scandal.

The pair tied the knot five years ago in Vegas after only a year of dating, but their love wasn’t meant to be.

Lily’s latest album, West End Girl, hints at David’s infidelity, as she caught him with a profile of his own on the celebrity dating app Raya.

She also detailed how she was pressured into an unwanted open relationship in the track “Madeline”.

ZOE Ball has moved a new man into her home – a mystery “lodger” who has “won more awards” than she has.

The Radio 2 presenter hinted at a new romance on her Dig It podcast, two years after her split from construction worker Michael Reed.

Zoe, 53, revealed her new living arrangements to co-host Jo Whiley when discussing Christmas gifts.

She said: “I’ve got this thing that I bought online, which is sort of like you hold the handle and it’s loads and loads of different bits of wood and you whack your legs and your underarms with it.

“It really helps circulation. I think it’s quite good for lymphatic drainage.

“I bought loads of them for people for Christmas …”

Zoe continued: “I remember the first time the lodger walked in and saw me doing it, and just sort of turned on his heels.”

When Jo asked if the lodger was “still around,” Zoe replied: “He’s still here at the moment. He’s still lodging.”

Zoe did not reveal the man’s identity, but said he has “won loads of awards.”

Speaking about her own accolades, she said: “I did get a Sony and it was given to me by Marianne Faithfull. I was well chuffed.

“And I think Caner of the Year for something I can’t remember. 

“We won a BAFTA for the last ever Live and Kicking, which was amazing. But I don’t even have a copy of it …

“Yeah, the lodger has won loads of awards…”

The Sun has reached out to Zoe’s reps for clarification on whether the relationship is romantic or platonic.

Zoe’s ex-husband, DJ Norman Cook – better known as Fatboy Slim – recently spoke about their continued close friendship. 

The pair were married for 18 years before splitting in 2016 and share two children, Woody, 24, and Nelly, 15.

The DJ, 62, recently described Zoe as his “soulmate” while promoting his new photo book reflecting on his music career. 

“Zoe is a very kind, thoughtful person and she just had this way of checking my ego, like ‘We are still human beings. 

“We are still nice to people,’” he told The Sun.

He said Zoe helped him navigate fame in the 1990s: “In the 90s, I was having too much fun to think about the next day. 

“It became a whirlwind, but Zoe helped me through it as she knew that level of fame before. 

“It was nice to have a soulmate in there with you.”

Zoe’s last public relationship was with construction worker Michael Reed. 

The pair dated for five years before splitting in 2023. 

At the time, The Sun reported she had asked him to move out of her £2 million Sussex home after the relationship began to break down.

A source said: “Zoe is gutted but she’s better off without Michael. This is a relief to many of her friends, who think she has done the right thing.”

Before Michael, Zoe dated cameraman Billy Yates, who tragically died by suicide in 2017 after a battle with depression.

BALLSY MOVE

Zoe sold her countryside pile and moved closer to her ex Fatboy Slim last year.

The fan-favourite broadcaster previously lived there with her ex Michael yet it appeared she was eager for a fresh start.

Zoe called time on her relationship with the model in May 2023 after five and a half years together – with pals at the time saying they had “run their course”.

A source revealed she then traded in life in her rural Sussex home – complete with a swimming pool and tennis courts – for the more “lively” surroundings of Brighton and Hove.

Zoe sold up after the sad death of her beloved mum.

Also in her podcast with fellow BBC Radio 2 anchor Jo, Zoe revealed the heartbreaking impact of her loss.

She told her pal on the podcast last month: “I couldn’t work.

“I was on the floor in the kitchen. I couldn’t, I couldn’t move

“I had a proper emotional breakdown, you know, I haven’t really talked about it actually.

“But it was, yeah, it was brutal.

“I had an amazing doctor who turned up at my door with coffee and bagels and said, ‘so, we need to get you some help’, and he was wonderful.”

She admitted the process of grief was ongoing.

Zoe told how she struggled particularly on the anniversary of her mum’s death and said there was “a lot of crying and pain” that “still has to come out.”
