EMILY Ratajkowski raised the temperature as she posed for steamy lingerie snaps to promote her campaign with Lounge underwear.
The actress and model, 34, flaunted her famous figure in a selection of lingerie pieces from her collaboration with the underwear brand, and posted some of the saucy pics to her Instagram account.

Mum-of-one Emily donned a hot-pink bra, panties and garter set in one snap, as she posed suggestively with white sheets on a bed.
In another picture, the Gone Girl actress lay seductively on the floor in an all-black set as she looked directly into the camera.
The famously slender star also showed off her frame and toned stomach as she posed stood up in the all black ensemble,
The sexy lingerie pieces are part of the model’s collection with Lounge Underwear, dubbed “Emily’s Edit”.

Speaking about the edit, Emily said: “Sexiness has nothing to do with what someone else sees. It’s about how I feel.
“I’m a mother, I’m a writer, I’m someone who loves fashion. I play a dozen different roles every day. I love that Lounge recognizes how multifaceted women can be.”
The edit, which features seasonal picks from the star, marks Lounge’s Fall 2025 collection, and also features clothing items including a suede blazer and matching shorts, a cherry lacquer argyle cardigan, and a chocolate sheer shirt paired with a coordinating skirt.
It comes a week after Emily was seen partying away with British pop star Charli XCX, after attending their wedding ceremony in Sicily, Italy.
The Brat star, 33, married her The 1975 drummer husband George Daniel in a small ceremony in London last month, before flying out to Italy to throw a huge celebration with family and close friends.
Emily was among a flurry of stars who attended the wedding, which included Matty Healy, Gabriette, Amelia Dimoldenberg and Julia Fox.

The model appeared to attend the ceremony alone – without her four-year-old son Sylvester Apollo Bear, who she shares with her ex-husband Sebastian Bear-McClard.
Emily finalized her divorce with the film producer, who faced a slew of sexual misconduct allegations, in July, after filing for divorce in September 2022.
The model sparked her latest romance rumours earlier this month, after she was spotted getting close to Caught Stealing actor Austin Butler in New York.
The pair were spotted together at the Waverly Inn in Manhattan’s West Village, in what could mark her first relationship since her divorce.
Emily recently revealed she would be making a career turn, as she gears up for a screen-writing debut on A24’s untitled drama series for Apple TV+, which is set to explore female identity and modern motherhood – with Lena Dunham and author Stephanie Danler.
“Lena was the first person who published my writing, on Lenny Letter, but she knew about me from Instagram,” she told Variety in July.
“I’ve had a lot of experiences, with Lena specifically, where she has seen past surface level things and given me so many opportunities.”

Pixie said: “I will have two on tour. It’s going to be wild. It is going to be rock and roll.
“I’ll just make sure I will rest until then and then just take my time with it and bring the baby with me and be breastfeeding and see what happens.”
Pixie said the couple have found out the gender of their baby but are keeping it a surprise for fans.
She said: “The first time round I knew from day one it was a boy. I was like: ‘100 per cent it is a boy.’
“This time round, there was no clear indication, I had no idea. I really wasn’t sure when we were undoing the letter but it was very exciting.”
Of being a mum in the music industry, Pixie said: “I would say that you can do it.
“It is definitely a juggle and I’m very lucky because I have my mum and dad who will help me out.
“I know not everyone has a village around to help. So it all depends on your circumstance and what you can do.”
Pixie, who released her single Coming of Age last month, is also preparing to headline a show at London’s Union Chapel on December 17.
She said: “I love going to concerts at Christmas with all the candles everywhere and the magic of it – I have never done my own show at Christmas before.”
The grieving star penned a tear-jerking post on Instagram and wrote: “For 14 years this was the happiest day of my year, every year without fail!
“Our anniversary! The day you made me the man I am today by saying yes to being my boyfriend!
“To say this day, for the past two has been pretty much unbearable would be an understatement! (sic).
“Today was supposed to be our 1st wedding anniversary, our 16th anniversary together and today it just feels like the year mark from the day I laid you, my beautiful boy, to rest!
“I don’t know how I’ve survived without you! You were without a shed of doubt the best thing that has and will ever happen to me!
“The glue that held us all together. I want you to know on this day that it will always be our anniversary, I will always be yours!
“In all of our years together I only have one regret – I’m not sure many people can say they only have one in a relationship as long as ours!
“It’s that I couldn’t fulfil yours and my dream of making it down the aisle!“

He continued: “The day you officially became mine. I always laugh at me swearing at all our friends taking the p** making smooching sounds lol.
“The best day of my entire life and always will be! I love you Oliver more than anyone has ever loved another person!
“Until I’m in your arms again I will never be complete or whole, but I will for you live as much as I can!
“I’m trying not to get too upset writing this because it’s taken more of me than I thought I had this past year to even survive but I can’t help it.
“I miss you, I miss me, I miss us, our life. I miss the life we were robbed of!
“I know you were only loaned to me for 15 incredible years but I wanted and still want more!
“One thing I had never felt since the day you walked into my life was lonely, but now it me all I feel (sic).
“There are so many wonderful people around me, but I said it before, the 8 billion people on this planet couldn’t patch the hole you’ve left in my heart, even a fraction!“
He concluded: “I love you my beautiful boy! Ever thine, even mine, ever ours. 24 XXIV. Happy anniversary.”

“These are the results from my breast reduction and uplift @pallmallcosmetics no implant, all still natural. Just lifted and reduced.
“4 sizes smaller (I say small) I wanted them kept on the larger side. My scarring is fading so well too!”
Former Page 3 girl Rhian was flooded with messages after showing off the results, with one fan writing: “They are amazing, so happy for you Rhian and glad you’re doing well and you feel great and better for doing it.”
Another said: “I think they look amazing and good on you for doing it. Your body, your choice.”
And a third added: “I’m so happy for you! And it’s amazing to share that you can have surgery without the need of implants and also for yourself and what you want!”

Wedding Dress Controversy: Rumours begin circulating that there’s tension between Nicola and Victoria Beckham after Nicola chooses not to wear a Victoria Beckham-designed wedding gown. Nicola later clarifies in August 2022 (and again in March 2023) that Victoria’s atelier couldn’t make the dress in time, but reports in May 2025 suggest Victoria actually changed her mind about making the dress.
Post-Wedding (2022 onwards): Minimal interaction between Nicola and Victoria on social media, and noticeable absence of Nicola at key Beckham family events.
May 2025:David Beckham’s 50th Birthday Snub: Brooklyn and Nicola are notably absent from David Beckham’s 50th birthday celebrations in London, despite being invited. Reports suggest their absence was due to Brooklyn not wanting to be in the same room as Kim Turnbull, the girlfriend of Romeo who had previously been reported to have been dating Brooklyn, who David allegedly opted to have at the party over Nicola.
Rumours emerge of a falling out between Brooklyn and his younger brother Romeo, reportedly due to Romeo’s new girlfriend, DJ Kim Turnbull, who allegedly had a past connection with Brooklyn.
Reports surface that the Beckham parents are “hurt and disappointed” that Brooklyn is “playing no part in family life.” Sources claim that tensions between Brooklyn and Nicola and his parents are “definitely not beyond repair.”
July 2025: Reports indicate David and Victoria are “desperate” to reconcile with Brooklyn. Brooklyn publicly wishes his sister Harper a happy 14th birthday on Instagram, tagging Nicola, which is seen as a potential “olive branch” and a rare public message to his family amid the rumored rift.
Brooklyn UNFOLLOWS his brothers Romeo and Cruz just 24 hours after his birthday message to Harper. Nicola quickly follows suit and also ditches the Beckham bros from her Instagram following. Romeo and Cruz are now also no longer following Brooklyn.

He then underwent three months of daily radiation treatment and is now in recovery.
He told The Mirror: “I was diagnosed with prostate cancer in August 2022 and, thankfully, after three months of daily radiation treatment, starting in the September, I’m through it, I’m fine.”
Johnny, who has regular annual checks, says he knows how fortunate he has been to survive.
He said: “My friend Harry Secombe didn’t survive it, Bob Monkhouse didn’t survive it. I’m 20 years younger than them and I am lucky, because now we can cure it.”

Katie has drastically lost weight over the past 12 months amid ongoing fears for her frail frame.
And now the former glamour model revealed that she’s been in hospital due to the worrying weight loss.
Katie opened up to fans on Snapchat this weekend, saying: “I’ve been up early at the doctors so she could do some bloods and because my veins are so s*** they had three attempts.
“They could only fill two tubes up, so I’ve got to go back in two weeks.
“And I’ve got to have my stitches out then because they looked at my little stab wound that I did.
“The reason I’m going to the doctors is because I keep losing weight and I don’t know why. So that’s that.”
As well as the weight loss, Katie attended A&E recently for another health problem as she accidentally stabbed herself in the hand.
The former Mucky Mansion star attempted to make curry before she ended up in A&E.
The former Eurovision Song Contest hopeful needed stitches and said the deep cut had left half of her left hand numb.

She revealed the injury ripped through her ligaments and nerves, causing potential damage.
She revealed: “Last night I accidentally stabbed myself with a knife, you can see on the injury how deep it was, and I had to have stitches”.
The star said her recent symptoms have raised fears the disease could return.
Katie has also been having blood work done and discovered she has a low blood platelet count that could have the ability to cause her weight to drop.
The mum-of-five said: “I’ve had my bloods done, and I’ve got really really low platelets and I thought that was (low) iron, and it’s not.
“And that could be a reason why maybe I’ve got thinner.
“I’m tired, no energy. They [the doctors] said it can affect that and I think you might have to have a blood transfusion to get them [the platelets] back up again.
“So I’ve got to go back and have my bloods done again.”
Katie went on to speak about her previous battle with a very rare form of cancer.
Back in 2002 while she was pregnant with son Harvey, 23, she developed a rare form of soft tissue cancer on her finger, specifically a leiomyosarcoma.
Speaking to her sister Sophie on the latest episode of their podcast, Katie said: “Another thing that’s really weird, you know when I had cancer years ago.
“For some who didn’t know, when I was pregnant with Harvey I got cancer, called leiomyosarcoma.
“If you look at my finger, there is like a hole there and a scar there, I had it cut out twice. Can you see that dent? It never hurt.
“But a lump started coming up and I thought I had been riding and done something to my finger.
“But anyway cut the long story short it was leiomyosarcoma so I had to have MRI scans and all of that for six years until I was clear.”
Katie said over the past few weeks the same finger has been hurting again.
KATIE’S CANCER BATTLE
Kate had a rare soft-tissue cancer when she was 24 years old.
Speaking to Katherine Ryan on her What’s My Name Again? podcast, Katie said: “While I was pregnant with Harvey I got cancer. I didn’t know that until, because they couldn’t do all the scans, after.”
A manicurist initially spotted the lump on Katie’s hand.
Two doctors dismissed it as harmless, but after a biopsy was carried out, Katie was told that the lump was leiomyosarcoma.

IT’S CLEAR that The Masked Singer is a huge asset to the ITV schedule. From the reaction of viewers at home, it seems that the competition is the epitome of primetime Saturday night telly at it’s best.
Alongside the likes of Saturday Night Takeaway and Britain’s Got Talent, the guessing game is one of the top three entertainment shows for the broadcaster as up to seven million people tune in to watch.
When we look at the show, we have a real mix of personalities involved. Joel Dommett’s unique style as a host is carefully balanced by the sharp and witty panel of judges. We have singing star power in the form of Rita Ora, veterans of the business in the form of Davina McCall and Jonathan Ross and comedy value from Mo Gilligan.
The dynamics of the panel work perfectly as Jonathan would take sarcastic jibes at Rita as Davina and Mo would be in hysterics
Last series Rita was forced to take time of the show as she had other commitments across the pond. Huge names such as Nicole Scherzinger, Olly Murs and Jennifer Saunders took her place.
Rita’s star is only on the rise in Hollywood and she’s set to star in a new film alongside the likes of legends such as Robert De Niro and Jamie Foxx in Tin Soldier. This is alongside her marriage to Academy Award winner Taika Waititi.
Clearly not happy with a part-time panelist and a rotating roster of guest judges, ITV bosses have chosen another name to take her place as Love Island star Maya Jama will join the panel. We don’t need to be worried about Rita as she will still be on the US edition.
Maya is a clear favourite amongst telly fans as they love to see her front a show like Love Island and let’s be honest, she’s the perfect fit for it. She is stunning to watch, she’s always on-trend, and very much appeals to the young fan base that flocks to the ITV2 dating show.
But The Masked Singer is a different show on a different channel. Maya is no doubt well versed in the world of television, but she will be surrounded by stars on the panel with decades more experience on air and with more universal appeal. Rita also has huge star power thanks to all her work in the music industry with several hits under her name, something which – despite her undoubted recognition as a star presenter – Maya just does not have.
By some, this could be considered as a risky move for ITV. Especially as networks fight to retain the loyalty of viewers in an age of Netflix, Amazon Prime and Disney+. With such drastic replacement in the panel and the inevitable shift in dynamics, the show is clearly about to change.
She opted for neutral-toned paisley patterned shoes with ankle tassels to match her brunette bob hairdo.
In terms of accessories, the singer opted for a choker necklace and a black clutch with an arm-length chain strap.
Her bold red lip gloss was complemented by chunky black and gold earrings as she smiled for the cameras.
Also in red was chart-topping musician Maisie Peters who looked absolutely tiny in her slimming red gown.
The Good Witch hitmaker stunned in an ankle-length red lace gown with pastel coloured shoes.
She wore her signature circular rimmed glasses whilst she showed off her short blonde bob.
After a week of partying pictures emerged of radio co-hosts Olivia and Pete looking cosy onboard a yacht in Ibiza.
Olivia’s husband Bradley was said to be “livid” after seeing his wife sitting in between best pal Pete’s legs on a yacht off the coast of the party island.
The Sun later revealed how Bradley’s Gillingham FC’s teammates then shared the pics of Pete and Olivia on the team’s WhatsApp group.
Appearing on Loose Women last week, Pete insisted that he no longer lives with regrets.
He said: “I think years ago, I mean I have a lot of regrets and things I’m not proud of but I think a couple of years ago it kind of changed for me when I realised life is too short for regrets.
“You only get as far as we know only one chance at this and you may as well live your life for yourself rather than other people.”

MARK Wright was left red faced when pal Olly Murs pulled his shorts down while he was broadcasting live on the radio.

Mark was stood up presenting a link, when Olly decided to run around the desk and yank his mate’s shorts, leaving him standing there in his black briefs.
Trying not to break his composure, Mark continued with the segment, telling viewers how they could get tickets to watch Lewis Capaldi as Olly laughed in the background.
As soon as he could, he then hastily pulled his shorts back up and turned off his mic so viewers couldn’t hear him scolding his friend.
“What you doing?” Mark fumed. “What are you doing? I’m live on the radio, you dope!”
Olly still couldn’t contain his laughter, but held his arms up in the air and said: “I’m sorry!”
Olly then shared the video of the funny moment to his instagram page, with the caption: pulled “Wrighty’s pants down live on air. Sorry mate… couldn’t resist…”
Mark also shared the footage to his account too, proving he eventually saw the funny side.
And a host of the pair’s fans loved it too, sharing their enthusiasm in the comments.
“Now this is just too funny and no one’s saying they haven’t watched this more than once,” one wrote.
“Honestly, you two he needs to get you back. I love how unfazed he is,” another said.
“How he aint murdered you yet I don’t know,” laughed a third, while another commented that it was “lucky Mark wasn’t going commando.”
Even Billie Faiers, who starred with Mark on Towie, commented with a string of crying laughing emojis.
Mark and Olly have been firm friends for years and launched their own show together on Heart back in March.
They have enjoyed ribbing each other throughout their friendship.

GLP-1 injections such as Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro, have had a surge in popularity in the past 12 months.
Having been used primarily as diabetes drugs, they are now prescribed to boost weight loss by suppressing your appetite.
In January, Gemma teamed up with weight loss injection company Yazen in a paid partnership to try the jabs.
Elsewhere, The Sun recently revealed Gemma will be fronting a new reality show following her IVF journey.

Now Freddie has caused a stir with his latest TikTok video where he flaunted his sleek black wide leg suit and double breasted jacket he wore to the event.
But in a more pointed nod, the song he used as the backing track was Rihanna‘s 2007 hit track, Breakin’ Dishes.
In an even more cheeky move, the lyrics of the song are: “Is he cheatin’?
“Man, I don’t know. I’m lookin’ ’round for somethin’ else to throw.”
Given the recent news, fans could not help but see the irony of the track as they took to the comments section with a flurry of speculation.
One user exclaimed: “The song seems fitting.”

STRICTLY Come Dancing star Thomas Skinner has revealed that he had terrifying death threats after meeting up with the vice-president of the United States JD Vance.
The American politician reached out to him after seeing his social media posts saying he admired his positive attitude for life.

And he invited him to the barbecue of the summer at 18th-century Dean Manor near Chipping Norton in the Cotswolds.
But afterwards The Apprentice star and market stall holder proudly posted a photo of them together on social media – and received a shocking backlash.
In an exclusive interview he admits: “Since I posted that picture I’ve had loads of death threats. People saying they want me dead, saying I am this political figure that I’m actually not. I actually really ain’t. I couldn’t tell you what’s going on in the world right now.
“Now the left seems to be attacking me every day on social media. The right seems to see me as this figurehead and it’s all been a bit much for me, if I’m honest with you.
“I was getting death threats and people calling me controversial. I was thinking, what have I ever done? What have I ever said that’s controversial? When you actually go through my tweets, apart from saying that knife crime is bad in London, yeah?
“I’m not this political figurehead that people believe that’s got my hand.
“I’ve had loads of death threats over the years, you know.
“I didn’t see it as anything more than a barbecue, if I’m honest with you. But I’ve been turned into this political figure that I’m actually not.”
But the East Londoner does admit he was nervous after accepting the invite along with Cambridge academic James Orr and Tory MP Danny Kruger.
He said: “I was very nervous about it, I didn’t know what to wear. When I arrived he literally was like, ‘Why have you got a suit on?’
Strictly shock as Thomas Skinner STORMS OUT of launch in furious rage
“He was actually a normal bloke. We spoke about English cheese being so much better than American cheese, West Ham United and how they call football ‘soccer’.”
Fry-up fan Thomas was blown away by the food, laid on by the local pub, describing it as “the b******s.”
He said: “There was a pub in the town, and Jay wanted to go to a traditional English pub, but he knew by going to this pub it would obviously have to shut, because I’ve never seen so many security guys in my life… a proper entourage… he didn’t want it to affect the locals.
“So he asked the pub if they would kindly – he paid them a lot of money – bring some of their staff to cook at the place, and they did, they actually left this beautiful pub in the Cotswolds, they’d come round to the garden, and they cooked this fantastic spread, it was steaks, kebabs, halloumi, honestly it was unreal. Everyone was really friendly.”
He didn’t take pictures, he says, because he didn’t want to “disturb his privacy”.
Joking, he adds: “When Trump comes he might invite me to a BBQ too.”
NO REGRETS
Despite the furore online Thomas insists he doesn’t regret posting the picture. He said: “I don’t regret it, I am a normal bloke and it was an amazing opportunity.
“Put yourself in my shoes. What would you do? You’re a normal person. And, I’ve been given this opportunity to sit with the Vice President of the most powerful country in the world, the United States of America. To me that was, “Wow’.
“And I would have gone, whether it was the leader of France, Germany, I think to sit there and learn, and experience that, whether you agree with him politically or not, it wasn’t about that for me, it was literally to say, ‘I’ve sat there and met the Vice President of the United States of America’.”
Sinead has been by his side since they got together nearly a decade ago.
Thomas began working part time as a market trader at 13 after being expelled from school. He found several businesses before starring on The Apprentice in 2019 after Sinead encouraged him to apply.
But he is also known for his motivational videos on social media where he shares his love of kebabs and pints.
It was his conservative political views that led to US Vice President JD Vance actually getting in touch with him.
SPREADS POSITIVITY
He says he loves spreading positivity.
He said: “Even when JD Vance sent me a DM, he was like, ‘Look I love your energy, keep it up, I love seeing the high energy and the positivity you spread’.
“Which is literally all I do, all I do is share videos of me having a roast dinner, and do a morning video to say, ‘Have a good day’, because I know what it’s like to wake up and feel like you can’t do this. I’ve been there, and that’s why I won’t ever give up spreading the positivity.”
Throughout the ups and down in his life Sinead – who he dubs Super sensible Sinéad – has been at his side throughout.
He admits the past few weeks have been tough and he has struggled with the public scrutiny.
He said: “It does affect you. I’ve always put on this brave face. But it’s alright to be vulnerable and be down and be upset. There are times I’ve felt low.”
CLOSE PALS WITH RYLAN CLARK
His close pal Rylan Clark also faced backlash recently over his views on migrant hotels which sparked over 700 Ofcom complaints.
Thomas said: “Rylan has been a friend of mine since I was a teenager. I love him. He’s a family friend, he comes to our family events. I go round to his and I bring him round to ours.
“He’s a top guy. And the thing that I just worry about is nowadays, whether someone’s got a different opinion to you, or you say something that might be slightly incorrect or you don’t agree with, everyone should be allowed to have their opinion, and everyone should be allowed to express it and argue it and talk about it.
“But if your opinion is different to someone else’s, people shouldn’t be able to attack you and ram it down your throat, and I think that’s wrong, if I’m honest with you.
“Poor old Rylan got a bashing, and obviously I know what it feels like, because I’ve had a bashing in the last couple of years.”
What Rylan said was: “How come if I turn up at Heathrow Airport and I’ve left my passport in Spain, I’ve got to stand at that airport and won’t be let in? But if I arrive on a boat from Calais, I get taken to a four-star hotel?
“I find it absolutely insane that all these people are risking their lives coming across the Channel like they are. But when they get here, it seems, ‘Welcome, come on in’.”

He later said he was angry at being “put in a box” over his opinions and called for more intelligent debate. Rylan posted on X: “You can be pro immigration and against illegal routes. You can support trans people and have the utmost respect for women.
“You can be heterosexual and still support gay rights. Stop with this putting everyone in a box exercise and maybe have conversations instead of shouting on Twitter.”
Thomas says the pressure that he and other celebrities receive due to fame can be hard to deal with.
And key to helping keep his mental health stable is the group of friends from the market that he still meets every Friday for “a pint”.
He said: “I think that’s so important, they think it’s funny I’m going on Strictly.
“Every Friday, and I’ve done this for years, you know, since I started out, no matter what, me and my group of little pals have a pint on a Friday afternoon.
“Some of us could be skint on our arse, some of us could be flying, we’re all having the same beer, in the same circle, talking the same thing, and we always, we always talk about what’s been a bad week, sad week, a happy week, a good week, a great week, and we all support each other, and I think that’s so important.”
And his biggest fan – his mum couldn’t be prouder.
Both his parents still work and are real “grafters” – which is where he says he gets his work ethic from.
His mum works in a call centre – but until this week hadn’t revealed who her famous son was, because she says they “never asked”.
He said: “She’s one of the people, when your boiler goes, she’ll ring up, my mum’s the one that you abuse on the phone saying, ‘My boilers gone,” she’s got one of the hardest jobs in the world. bless her.
“When she asked for the day off she said her son was on Strictly. They said, ‘What who’s your son? What do you mean?’ She showed them a picture of me.”
Her son is still a market trader with his own stall selling mattresses and pillows. He survives on just five hours sleep a night and even when rehearsing for the BBC show he says he will set up his stall first.
He still loves his work and feels proud to be helping Britain’s High Street.
Thomas said: “I’m going to try and set up at 6am. Markets help the shops, but then the shops are suffering, the high street’s dying.”
One thing that isn’t dying is his fan base.
Thomas confesses that he has been inundated with direct messages from celebrities on social media offering support for the new dance show.
He said: “I’ve had hundreds of messages, footballers, TV stars, all sorts.
“But I don’t think it’s fair to say who, because they’ve said that to me confidentially, and I respect that.
“People like my energy and the positivity I spread, which is literally all I do.”
Thomas has experienced financial highs and lows, and even homelessness.
He said: “I know what it’s like to have a few quid in my pocket, when everything’s going well, and your business is flying, and you’ve got everyone around you.
“But I also know what it’s like to be on your a***, not having anywhere to live, and not knowing how you’re going to pay your next bill. I’ve been at both spectrums.
“It’s taught me to be strong, and taught me to try and help other people, because life can be so hard.”

Morning peak
Outspoken Piers Morgan was caught sneaking a peek down Susanna Reid‘s top while presenting GMB back in 2016.

Piers quickly realised he’d put his foot in it, admitting: “I was just admiring my co-presenter.
“The camera caught me at a difficult moment… I looked over and looked down and before I knew it…”
He wasn’t the only person to appreciate Susanna’s low cut dress that day, with many viewers praising how she looked.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, 40, landed himself in hot water when he was caught staring at fellow tech billionaire Jeff Bezos‘s fiancée’s chest.
The married social media magnate was snapped ogling Lauren Sanchez at President Trump’s inauguration in January this year – while her partner, 61, was stood right next to her.
Lauren, 55, hit headlines for her racy outfit at the swearing in, and it was later revealed her lingerie-style top was a $1,800 Alexander McQueen satin-trimmed bustier.
Mark – who wed Priscilla Chan, 40, in 2012 – raised more eyebrows less than 24 hours later when he ‘liked’ a photo of Lauren’s cleavage on her Instagram.
Fans were quick to mock the Meta founder, with one asking: “Will Zuck lose his Amazon Prime membership?”

Simon Cowell, 65, clearly thought his Britain’s Got Talent co-host had talent(s) when he accompanied her to the British Academy Television Awards in 2010.
Amanda Holden, 54, had opted for a strapless gown, and Simon – who was at the time engaged to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy, 52 – couldn’t resist a glance at her bust.
The music mogul’s unfortunate moment was caught on camera – from multiple angles.
Though Amanda’s silver and white gown was fairly tame compared to the daring outfits she worn in more recent years.

It’s not just the famous blokes who appreciate the female form – in these amusing shots TV host Ellen DeGeneres, 67, was caught having a good inspection of Katy Perry’s boobs.
The women were at the Grammy Awards in 2013 when the talk show host was pictured ogling the I Kissed A Girl singer.
Standing arm in arm with her wife Portia de Rossi, 52, Ellen wasn’t shy about sharing her admiration.
Portia appeared to be find her spouse’s antics hilarious, while Ellen tweeted the photo with a birthday message for Katy captioned: “Happy birthday, @KatyPerry! It’s time to bring out the big balloons!”
It didn’t go down too well with fans, with some accusing Ellen of double standards, pointing out if it was a man who made the joke it would be seen as sexist.

During filming Anne revealed that her co-star – then married to his now ex-wife Kate Tucci – had become obsessed with her breasts, and he was even spotted having a sly look down her plunging black dress while promoting the film.
Anne joked that Stanley kept elbowing her in the boobs, leading him to reportedly joke that she should stop “flinging those melons around like it’s harvest season”.
The joke doesn’t seem to have bothered either party as they’ve remained bosom buddies and are currently filming The Devil Wears Prada 2.

Fans praised the sight and wrote: “There she is!!!! We’ve all missed seeing Sharon. Thank you Kelly.”
“Absolutely love this! So glad you both have somewhat of a distraction,” penned a second.
“So happy to see this! All the positive and healing vibes to you and your family,” remarked a third.
A fourth shared: “Spiritually, the owl symbolises wisdom, intuition, and a connection to the spirit world due to its nocturnal nature and ability to see in the dark. Lovely that your mum enjoyed it too.”
“I love this family more so for being so real, honest and vulnerable for all to see. The Osbourne’s have always embraced imperfection. They also embraced love,” praised a fifth.
Dressed in black with a white T-shirt, the star looked calm in the open field surrounded by dark skies.

Ozzy’s family, friends and fans were left devastated when it was revealed the heavy metal star had died aged 76 on July 22.
Speaking about postponing the documentary, a BBC spokesperson told The Sun: “Our sympathies are with the Osbourne family at this difficult time.

“The new tx date will be confirmed shortly.”

“He has created Beck’s Buns and quietly launched it on social media last month. Brooklyn’s company Buster Sauce Inc owns the trademark and he is planning to open a restaurant.
“The issue with the trademark is all but resolved now after Brooklyn made it clear he wasn’t making booze but wanted it for a restaurant.
“The menu is still being decided but it’ll be high quality burgers with his signature Buster hot sauces.
“It’s been something Brooklyn has always wanted to do. He has the full support of Nicola and her family, including her businessman dad Nelson, and is excited about the future.”
Being a chef is the latest in a long line of career ambitions for Brooklyn, 26.
He has previously tried his hand at modelling, acting and photography.

Who is Joel Dommett’s wife Hannah Cooper?
British model Hannah Cooper met husband Joel Dommett when she drunkenly messaged him with a cat emoji on Instagram, shortly after he appeared on I’m A Celeb in 2016.
Discussing the wedding with OK! in February 2020, Joel said: “It was honestly so fun.
“I was fully prepared to say it was the best day of my life and pretend it was — because I’ve been lucky enough to do Bake Off and I’ve had these amazing experiences in my life — but it was genuinely the best day of my life!
Joel Dommett reveals huge NTA’s shake-up that will shock fans
“We had 28 people there. Some people have weddings where half the day is saying hi and bye to people.
“I wanted our closest friends and family to have a wonderful time.”
Not long after they began dating, Joel released a memoir – It’s Not Me It’s Them: Confessions Of A Hopeless Modern Romance – which charts romantic encounters with 40 women before he met Hannah.
The mum guilt thing is real, definitely, and if I’m not feeling guilty, then Joel will be feeling guilty, so we’re probably not that helpful to each other.
Speaking to The Sun about being a mum for the first time, Hannah told us: “The mum guilt thing is real, definitely, and if I’m not feeling guilty, then Joel will be feeling guilty, so we’re probably not that helpful to each other.
“There are times when he’ll say, ‘I’ll look after Wilde. Go out and have fun’. Then he’ll send me a message saying, ‘Look at this photo of Wilde’, and I’ll go, ‘Damn it, I was in the zone with the girls’.
“It is difficult managing it but you’ve got to switch off and take an hour for yourself, then you’ll feel better for it.”
Talking about the possibility of another child, she added: “I really would love to, but Joel before was like, ‘one is good’.
“One means we’re in control, and we can totally manage that.
“But now Wilde is here, I would totally love another one.
“I feel like Joel is Wilde’s sibling. I feel like there is enough fun in the house, and there is enough drama and energy going on.”
Joel Dommett’s career so far
Joel started out as an actor, landing small roles in shows including Casualty, Inspector Lynley and Skins.
But the funnyman has also presented or taken part in other big shows, such as:
Opening up on fronting this year’s ceremony, he said: “The NTAs are 30 years old and the party planning starts here!
“Star guests? Check. All our best-loved shows? Check. My payment? Cheque. Join us at London’s O2 to mark this extra special evening!”
And on what he thinks about 2025’s prize shortlist, he added: “It’s the best the shortlist has ever been since I’ve hosted it. I genuinely don’t know which way it’s going to go.
“That’s what’s really exciting about the NTAs — it’s shows, those things that are loved by the public.
“It’s not decided by a panel or a committee. It’s the people at home — it’s what they like, it’s what they watch.”
