This year marks 25 years since they were formed on Popstars, with Kym previously hinting they would do a reunion performance to mark the milestoneCredit: GettyMyleene said she isn’t ‘in a position’ to say yet to joining them, but will be there to support a reunion from the sidelines
“It’s not something I can commit to right at this moment. But you go and, you know, I’ll be front row – singing Pure And Simple!”
Myleene then admitted she wasn’t sure it was possible to recapture the magic of the band when it was first formed.
She said: “Generally speaking, I think it’s very hard to replicate the feeling of the first time.”
Hear’Say were put together on the talent show Popstars and in March 2001, their single Pure And Simple became, at the time, the fastest-selling debut single in the UK.
In December, Kym said of a reunion: “I always laugh and say ‘never say never’ about a Hear’Say reunion.
“We might pop up somewhere, just for a one-off performance down the line, to surprise everyone.”
Myleene was previously asked to take part in a Hear’Say reunion, revealing in 2021 that she had turned it down.
She said at the time: “There was definitely talk last year. Suzie came to my house just to have the discussion. I said, ‘look at the minute, I have so much on’.”
FRANKIE Bridge has revealed she’s been diagnosed with ADHD after her Loose Women co-star Denise Welch spotted the symptoms and urged her to get tested.
The 37-year-old has previously been open about her battle with depression and anxiety and now she believes she’s found the “last missing piece” with her attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder diagnosis.

Speaking on her latest YouTube vlog, the former Saturdays star told her viewers: “I found out today that I’ve got ADHD.
“Denise was like, ‘I got diagnosed with ADHD and it’s completely changed my life – my depression and my anxiety is so much better’.
She was like, ‘let me put you in touch with [a specialist]. You can just see’. I was a bit like, ‘yeah, I mean, I could be’.”
The mum-of-two continued: “I’ve been battling with [the diagnosis] all day. Part of me is like, what a relief, because it does make sense to me.
“When I went on the call, I was not sure if this was going to really resonate with me. But by the end of it, I was like, ‘f***, it really does’.
“It’s kind of reassuring. Not that it makes excuses for it, but I can hopefully try and feel less guilt because I’m such a perfectionist, and all that is part of it.”
According to the NHS, those with ADHD are significantly more likely to experience depression and anxiety.
ADHD itself can cause emotional dysregulation, making individuals more prone to intense emotions and making it harder to soothe themselves when feeling down or worried.
The I’m A Celebrity star added: “Hopefully this is the last missing piece that is going to help.
“They do say with a lot of women, we’re not diagnosed ’til we’re a lot older, and by then, you’ve already dealt with depression and anxiety for a really long time.”
Her fans flocked to the comments section on YouTube to commend her on her bravery as some related to her diagnosis.
One penned: “I recently got diagnosed with adhd too and so much makes sense now.”

Another person said: “Awww love your vids. Love your vulnerability.”
While a third added: “Thanks for another great vlog and thanks for being you.”
Denise was diagnosed with ADHD herself in January 2023 after undergoing a series of intense tests.
Incidentally, Denise went to get tested after her Loose Women co-star Nadia Sawalha received her own diagnosis and saw similar traits in her.

Frankie has previously stated that she was “anxious from the womb” and experienced physical symptoms including stomach aches, night time panic and difficulty breathing.
Her depression began to manifest significantly when she was 15, coinciding with her first brush with fame in S Club Juniors.
In 2011, at the height of her success in The Saturdays, Frankie suffered a major mental health breakdown.
She voluntarily admitted herself into a private psychiatric hospital for treatment for one month.
It’s something the ITV star has continued to deal with on daily basis but has used her platform to help other people who are experiencing the same as her.
In March last year, she told her Instagram followers: “I have finally made it down to the gym. It’s taken me the whole day to actually get here.
What is ADHD?
ADHD, or attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, is a neurodevelopmental condition that affects how individuals focus, regulate their impulses, and manage their energy levels.
Symptoms depend on the type; inattention causes challenges with focusing, organisation and time management, hyperactivity causes excessive energy or restlessness, and impulsivity causes a person to act without thinking or struggle to wait their turn.
People can be predominately one type or a mix of the two and symptoms are varied and unique to individuals.
While living with ADHD is challenging, people often find unique strengths within their condition, such as the ability to hyperfocus on something they find interesting, problem-solving skills and creativity.
“My depression is absolutely kicking my a**e, and I’m so over it. You know when you just feel like you do all the things you’re told you’re meant to do, and then it just still always comes back?
“I’m just so bored of myself. It is so boring. You know when you just think everyone around me must just be so bored of it as well, and I just I’m over it.”
“But I’m here,” she added. “I’m going to try and do as much as I can in the gym, because I know it will make me feel better.
“Instead of just sitting around, eating s**t, which is what I’ve been doing all day, which only makes me feel worse and I know that, so I don’t know why I do it, but here we are back in the same old place.”
Sam Thompson finally found a reason to smile again with new girlfriend Talitha Balinska after his devastating split from ex Zara McDermott.
But while the pair are certainly loved up, some members of his inner circle have told The Sun they are questioning whether Talitha may turn out to be Zara 2.0.
Sam Thompson and Talitha Balinska have been dating since October 2025Credit: InstagramSam and Zara McDermott split just before Christmas in 2024, reportedly because he wasn’t prioritising their relationshipCredit: Instagram
According to a source close to Sam, they believe his new model and DJ squeeze appears to be following too closely in his ex’s footsteps – and could secretly harbour desires to have a career as big as the former Love Island and Strictly Come Dancing beauty.
A member of Sam’s posse tells us: “Talitha seems like a nice girl but a few eyebrows have been raised by some of Sam’s pals about how easily she has slotted into his showbiz world and how comfortable she seems in the spotlight.
“They have questioned whether she is enjoying the profile boost that comes with dating a guy like Sam, because she wasn’t as well known before dating him.
They added: “These days she always seems to be invited brand trips or flogging online ads in a way she wasn’t before, so it feels like being with Sam has opened some major doors for her. You can’t necessarily blame her for taking advantage of that, but it has raised some eyebrows.”

After the ties with ex Zara severed, Sam had quite the “glow-up” and he soon captured the attention of model and DJ Talitha.
Former Made In Chelsea star Sam told how Talitha was “the one” earlier this year, but not everyone in his life is convinced.
“It feels like he has rushed head over heels into the next full-on relationship, but that’s Sam, he’s like a puppydog in love.
“Talitha could turn out to be the love of his life, but we’re his friends and we’re protective. We don’t want to see him get hurt.”
Sam first met gorgeous Talitha in 2024 on a photoshoot for Sam’s sunglasses brand Dinelli Eyewear but they didn’t begin to date until a few months after his split from Zara.
Once the couple were spotted together in October last year and Sam began mentioning her online, Talitha’s influencer career really took off.
The 24-year-old’s following grew by 900 per cent on Instagram and she started cashing in on more advertisement deals.
Not only that, Talitha has been making the most of her newfound fame, jetting off on brand trips, scooping freebies and enjoying lavish dinners.
She was spotted a few weeks ago partying on a yacht in Marbella, Spain, after being whisked away by The Couture Club.
The model has taken the place of the Love Island legend in a string of Sam’s social media ads – something he once enjoyed doing with Zara.

Our source adds: “Sam and Zara would often beg their family and friends to get involved with the funny twists they would put on their content – it looks as though history is repeating itself.
” A few of us have pointed out that Talitha often appears on social media “playing the eye-rolling” girlfriend, something Zara had perfected, or the one who laughs at all his jokes.
The source said: “A few who knew Zara really well have commented that Talitha seems to basically be copying her – the way she acts on social media is very similar, playing the foil to him is the same schtick Zara used to do in his Instagram and TikTok videos.”
Sam’s posse have noticed that Talitha has also become tight with Sam’s sister Louise, who absolutely adores her.
Zara was incredibly close to Louise and the pair were often spotted together.
“Talitha seems like she’s really close with his sister Louise, just like Zara was, but they have hardly known each other for a fraction of the time,” says our insider.
“It all feels a bit too much too fast, like she is already a member of the family.
“Some of us have joked that she’ll be landing her own BBC Three documentary series next, or trying to get cast on a reality show.”
Talitha’s influence has already begun to make its mark on Sam’s home, too.
This Morning‘s Sam revealed on his podcast, Staying Relevant, that he was getting his garden redone with a huge water feature, top-notch barbecue and bougie seating area.
But when he was quizzed on the new expense by his best pal Pete Wicks, Sam admitted he was forking out because Talitha wanted him too.
The 33-year-old claimed he’d rather have spent the cash on a lavish break away but his girlfriend felt a remodelled garden would be the perfect place for them to spend time.
Documentary maker Zara, 29, previously staked her claim on the home as the exes carved their names into the kitchen wood. Sam later admitted this wasn’t his choice either.
The podcast host got the room redecorated for the second time in just a few years to wipe any trace of Zara, who has since moved on with former One Direction star Louis Tomlinson.
Talitha, who now appears to have properly moved in to Sam’s home, took to Instagram recently to admit that she was forcing him to move his clothes so she could have more wardrobe space.
Despite what some of Sam’s posse think, others say Talitha “picked Sam up at a time when he was really heartbroken,” and “put a smile back on his face again.”
According to a source close to Talitha , the couple are really happy and they don’t understand why some people are trying to “tear her down.”
Her pal continues: “Talitha is actually quite introverted and not in this for the fame.
“She already had an influencer profile before getting together with Sam, so anything she gets offered now comes from her already being in this world.
“Maybe some brands have reached out to her since she has been with Sam, but it’s not Talitha actively seeking these things out.
“She is with Sam for the right reasons, she’s a genuine girl and it’s disappointed for anyone to suggest she wants to copy Zara.
“She’s aware of Sam’s exes, but everyone has an ex and she is an ex for a reason. Talitha certainly doesn’t want to be the next Zara, because why would he even want to be with a clone of his former flame?
“It’s just silly – a case of someone trying to pit women against women. Sam and Talitha are happy, so anyone who thinks otherwise is not a real friend of either of them.”
The Sun has reached out to reps for Sam and Talitha for comment.

LIAM Payne’s ex Kate Cassidy has revealed she’s been “dumped” by her new man over “anger” issues – just two weeks after going official.

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

Somebody else said: “Liam would be proud of you for putting yourself out there again. I’m sure all he wanted was for you to be loved the right way and someone will come along who will do that again.”
While a fourth added: “Your heart isn’t ready yet. Don’t blame yourself. He wasn’t the one.”
Earlier this month, Kate shared a video of herself walking into a lavish event while donning a blue silk gown.
A handsome man in a suit walked beside her and put his arm around her before lifting her up and into his arms.
Twirling her around, the man held on tightly to Kate as she beamed from ear to ear.
“I love having a crush,” she penned in the caption of the post.
Meanwhile, over the top of the video, Kate wrote: “When you know you know.”
The content creator was in a relationship with the One Direction star before his tragic death at the age of 31 in October 2024.
They were together for two years and first met in South Carolina in the Autumn of 2022.
The pair were holidaying together two days before Liam’s fatal fall at a hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Perrie has lifted the lid on the state of her friendship with JesyCredit: YouTubeJesy quit Little Mix in 2020 and made some bold claims about that time in a recent documentaryCredit: Daniele Venturelli/WireImage
Now Perrie, 32, has shared her support for her former friend, after Jesy quit Little Mix in 2020 and sparked a bitter fall-out among the girls.
Appearing on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast, she said: “I mean, when I think everything we’ve been through as a group, and even though it ended in ways that I wouldn’t have wanted it to, and we’re not that close anymore and we’re not in each other’s lives, I still feel everything that the girls feel and I think they’re the same.
“We’ll always have that weird connection. And seeing Jesy go through that, it broke me.
“Because you wouldn’t wish that on anyone. It’s literally wild. And as much as we’ve got our issues and, you know, I think I don’t want to see her go through that.
Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade continued as a three-piece after Jesy’s exitCredit: Getty Images for Warner BrosJesy previously told how her twins Story and Ocean had been diagnosed with SMA1Credit: Instagram
“I don’t want to see her hurt and I don’t want to see any of that. It’s heartbreaking.”
In her recent documentary Life After Little Mix, Jesy made some bold claims about Perrie, Jade Thirlwall and Leigh-Anne Pinnock.
“She [one of the girls] was like, ‘Can I go now?’”
Fighting back tears, Jesy added: “That made me feel really alone. I felt like there was no point. That no one cared.”
And in her chat with Jamie, Perrie had her say. When he asked if she envisioned repairing her friendship with Jesy, she said: “If I’m being completely transparent, part of me wanted to until the documentary. And then part of me withdrew again.
“I’m not a horrible person. I haven’t got a bad one in my body, but I can cut you off.
“There’s personal things, there’s public things, there’s everything. I don’t have the capacity for somebody like that in my life anymore. And that might make me sound like a bitch, but I just don’t have the energy for it.
“And as much as I will always love her, I don’t think I can hack that energy in my space.”

KATIE Price says police have asked her to launch a missing person’s TV appeal in Dubai as the search for her vanished husband Lee Andrews continues.
The former glamour model, 48, claims cops told her they want her to front an international hunt for the conman.

“It all feels very surreal and like the thing you’d see on an ITV primetime drama. Of course, she doesn’t want to go on telly pleading for new intel if he really is on the run — and ghosting her.
“But she will do all she can to help, even if that means launching an international manhunt.
“She wants him found safe and sound.” Katie is convinced that Lee is not in prison, and believes that someone may have kidnapped him after he claimed to be tied up in the back of a van.

A friend added: “Even for Kate, this has been the weirdest two weeks of her life.
“She simply cannot get her head around what is going on.”
While Katie wants to fly to Dubai as the hunt for the dodgy businessman continues, it is understood she fears being detained if she does so.
Two of his ex-girlfriends have also gone on the record to say he is a conman who ripped them off.
His CV has been dismantled bit by bit, with photos of him with US reality star Kim Kardashian and Tesla billionaire Elon Musk proved to have been faked by AI.
Kim’s US team even took the unprecedented step of formally denying the star had ever met Lee.

The negative publicity — something UAE officials do not take kindly to — means he will likely be “red-flagged” on their system.
His wife, Katie, would also likely be regarded as a person of interest.
A source added: “Katie is desperate to get back out to Dubai but with everything going on, it is just too much of a risk right now.
“She also has work and family commitments back in the UK, and is trying to trust the police to get on with their job and locate her husband.”
Mum-of-five Katie and Lee met online at the start of this year and married within days.

In an exclusive chat after her headline set at Radio 1’s Big Weekend in Sunderland, Ellie added: “I’ve spent the past few years working really closely with a brilliantly talented producer and multi-instrumentalist called Jack Rochon.
“I actually found him on TikTok when he was still relatively undiscovered, living in Canada.
“He’s since moved to LA and worked with Beyonce.
“I immediately connected with what he was doing creatively.
“I have always loved discovering emerging talent and championing new voices, just like I did when I first started out and discovered Starsmith.
“We’ve recorded hundreds of songs together, and I loved the freedom of exploring different sounds, feelings, thoughts and experiences.
“It felt really organic and honest, like journaling through music.”
During her incredible set, where she was watched live for the first time by young son Arthur, Ellie debuted upcoming single Black Prada Dress.
Ellie said of the song: “There’s not one definitive experience that inspired it.
“It’s directed at that negative, critical voice bringing you down. And that voice could be your own, internal voice — that self-critical, destructive one.
“I feel like we all have one of those, just like we have different versions of ourselves.
“I love the honesty of it, the rawness, and I hope people can connect to it in their own way.”
Ellie lit up the crowd in Sunderland, kicking off with I Need You Love before hits including Still Falling For You, Love Me Like You Do and Lights.
The singer added with a grin: “It felt so, so good to be back performing at Radio 1 Big Weekend.
“The crowd was amazing, the sun was shining. Great vibes all round.
“I remember my first-ever Radio 1 Big Weekend performance back in 2010.
“My debut album had just gone to No1 and I was on cloud nine.
“It’s been four albums since then.
“So to come back to debut Black Prada Dress in the mix with some of my old favourites feels like a real full-circle moment.”
It was made all the more special for Ellie, who gave birth to her second child, Iris, in March.
She said: “It’s such a joy, my son is here today.
“I love playing music to them, especially classical music.”
With a potential record of classical music in the works, too, I wouldn’t be surprised if Ellie had already given the kids a taster.
Ra-ra Larsson
Zara Larsson delivered what could easily go down as her best Big Weekend performanceCredit: Splash
ZARA LARSSON delivered what could easily go down as her best Big Weekend performance.
The Swedish singer, wearing a light blue ra-ra skirt, pulled out all the stops during her fourth appearance at the festival on Saturday.
She opened with Midnight Sun before blasting through tracks including Can’t Tame Her, Ain’t My Fault, Lush Life and finishing with a cover of Clean Bandit’s Symphony, the No1 song she featured on in 2017.
But the standout moment came when Zara invited one lucky fan, Kayleigh, up to join her.
“This is my favourite part of the show but it’s also the hardest,” Zara said.
“Because I see so many of you are giving me the best energy ever.”
Welcoming Kayleigh on to the stage, Zara immediately recognised her from a previous show in America.
Zara then spray-painted a personalised T-shirt for Kayleigh in front of the crowds after she revealed she was flying over to LA in the coming weeks to watch her perform again.
Now that’s dedication.
EMMA’S GOT NOTHING BUT PRAISE FOR THIEVES

WEDNESDAY actress Emma Myers showed she is a Radio 1 superfan and was spotted hanging out backstage.
Presenter Greg James bought her out on stage to introduce Nothing But Thieves.
My mole told me: “Emma is a massive fan of the band and a close personal friend, so they asked her to come out on stage and introduce them. She is so down to earth and lovely. Everyone was obsessed with her.”
Emma said on stage: “I’m having so much fun, I’m seeing so many incredible artists, it’s so lovely to be here.”
Of Nothing But Thieves, she added: “They were my soundtrack when I was shooting season one of The Good Girl’s Guide To Murder, so I have them on repeat.”
NIALL LOVES A TEE PARTY
Niall Horan has revealed he only tours so he can play golf courses around the worldCredit: Alamy
NIALL HORAN has revealed he only tours so he can play golf courses around the world.
And he ends up spending more time on makeshift greens than in the studio when writing albums.
The former One Direction singer was on stage at the Big Weekend yesterday in Herrington Country Park, right next to Wearside Golf Club.
Niall, who has a handicap of eight, said: “It’s Niall’s golf tour with music, especially in the States.
“Florida is great – there’s so much good golf in Florida, and we’ll hit random places in Ohio. If we do 30-something shows, I’ll try and get in ten rounds.”
And it doesn’t stop there.
Talking about a place he rented out with songwriter pals to work on his upcoming fourth solo album, Niall said: “When we stayed in this house in the countryside in the UK, we made up our own golf course.
“We put flowerpots in places and made our own courses and chipped balls around.
“We did this all over the world. We make up our own little golf courses in the backyard of wherever we’re playing and we do more of that than we do songwriting.
“On that trip, we wrote Dinner Party – but after a round of golf, of course.”
Now Niall’s eyeing up something entirely different.
When asked on the And The Writer Is podcast if he would pen a musical, he said: “I’d love to. I’ve often thought about that.
“That would be such a cool thing, to put some time aside to actually dig in for six months to try and write something. But I haven’t had the offer yet.”
VICKY: A FAT LOT OF GOOD

DJ VICKY HAWKESWORTH managed to catch some performances between her own sets at Big Weekend.
She said backstage: “Nothing But Thieves were amazing and Fatboy Slim was so good . . . way better than I thought.
“Not that I thought he wouldn’t be good, but you know what I mean.
“Also, those visuals. If I was off my nut, I’d be, like, ‘I’m not well’.”
Luckily for Vicky, she was as sober as a judge.
MY one to watch from the festival is rising talent Alessi Rose.
The Skin singer smashed her set on the New Music stage and will play a run of shows at festivals this summer, as well as supporting Lewis Capaldi and Lorde at their concerts in July and August.

MYLES SMITH had Sunderland belting out every word as he smashed his 30-minute set – complete with support from his Drive Safe collaborator Niall Horan.
Sprinting up and down the stage, the soulful singer powered through nine tracks yesterday, including a cover of iloveitiloveitiloveit by his friend Bella Kay.
Speaking about the US singer-songwriter, Myles told the crowd: “This is someone that I’ve been following for a little while now.
“They can’t be here this Big Weekend, but I’m sure they’re gonna be here for many more, so hopefully you can enjoy this song with me.”
His energy was off the charts as he worked his way through hits including Behind, Hold Me In The Dark and Nice To Meet You.
Myles jumped off the stage and into the pit to hug fans before singing Gold.
Out of puff as he climbed back up, he said with a laugh: “I need to go back to the gym.”
Myles finished off his belting show with the stellar Stargazing.
Fans are now counting down the days until he releases his new album My Mess, My Heart, My Life on June 19.

Emily Atack is starring in the highly anticipated second season of Disney+’s Rivals, and has been giving a rare insight into her wedding plans with fiancé Dr Alistair Garner
Emily Atack and Rufus Jones
The Inbetweeners star Emily Atack, 36, faces a hectic period both professionally and personally. The actress is currently organising her upcoming nuptials to partner Dr Alistair Garner, while her Rivals storyline, where she plays Sarah Stratton, intensifies.
She’s also presenting ITV’s new strategic reality quiz, Nobody’s Fool, alongside fellow Rivals star Danny Dyer, 48.
Emily, who gave birth to her first child, a son named Barney, with Alistair in 2024, has been sharing behind-the-scenes secrets from the Disney+ adaptation of Dame Jilly Cooper’s steamy novel, while offering a glimpse into her wedding preparations.
The actress joined her on-screen husband Rufus Jones, 51, on the Rivals Season 2 Official Podcast to chat about the opening episodes of the latest series, including several explicit nude sequences.
Rufus was asked about the moment his character, Paul Stratton, danced around in the buff following a shower, leading Emily to reveal that she’d witnessed the actor unclothed “more than my own partner” in recent months.
The star acknowledged that the striking scene represented “his first day” of shooting series two, remarking: “It’s very funny, I’ve done quite a lot of nudity in my career”, to which Emily interjected: “I’ve seen you naked more than my own partner this year!”
Rufus chuckled and responded: “I know, it’s slightly weird. I’ve done it about 10 times!” The actor revealed that filming the scene proved particularly challenging as the shower was considerably smaller than anticipated, leaving him with limited space to perform.
Meanwhile, Emily’s character Sarah has been wrestling with the revelation that she’s expecting a baby, while simultaneously attempting to safeguard her television career.
The actress explained that she tapped into her own personal journey of first-time motherhood for the storyline “because it really, genuinely gave me that real emotion”.
This follows Emily previously admitting she finds it difficult to look at her baby son “without crying”, as she “loves him so much”.
Beyond the Rutshire universe, Emily has disclosed that her wedding to fiancé Alistair is scheduled for September this year.
She told Luxury London in a recent interview: “I think I’ve nailed it. We’re getting married in September.”
The star continued: “I’ve very much enjoyed the planning process. Choosing napkins and stuff. I’m like, ‘My God, my life is here!'”
Emily and Danny Dyer’s new programme Nobody’s Fool launches on ITV1 and ITVX at 9pm on Saturday.

A source said: “Olivia’s lookfantastic deal is worth a high seven figures and she also signed an exclusive deal with La Roche Posay as part of it.
“Olivia loves the brand and they love working with her so it’s a perfect fit. She’s got so many deals on the table right now”.

Olivia, who rose to fame on series three of Love Island in 2017, has also featured in a Maybelline campaign for its Sky High mascara in recent weeks.
That’s alongside her fashion collaboration with River Island, her TV and radio work and her popular podcast, Olivia’s House.
“When I’m doing television and radio, people ask, ‘Why a podcast?’. The podcast is a connection with my audience that’s so direct.
“I also wanted it to aesthetically represent the vibe that I feel like it reflects me and my style more.”
She also added to Mail Online in March after her ITV series Getting Filthy Rich and The Price Of Perfection were picked up by Disney+: “Love Island is huge in America, the UK one so I feel really lucky there was already quite a large US audience on my Instagram, they are definitely happy to have the shows available, also in Australia as well.
“I’m very happy with my career as it is right now. I mean I’ve had offers, I’m not looking to jump ship right now, but yes, at some point I’m sure we’ll do something over there.”
HER last tour in 2020 was cut short thanks to the Covid pandemic but now Louise is gearing up to go back on the road.
The Borderline singer will play five live shows as part of her Naked/Confessions tour next April, taking in cities including London, Birmingham and Manchester, with tickets on sale today.

And in an exclusive interview to celebrate the announcement, ex-Eternal star Louise says she’s never felt so inspired after her last album Confessions became her fourth top ten record.
“I’m so proud of that album,” Louise tells me.
“That’s really what spurred me on to carry on writing.
“It taught me that it’s OK not to please everybody.
“I’m enjoying the creative process of not worrying about if people might hate on it.
“Knowing that you just can’t please everyone.
“It’s all about the mindset and the confidence.
“I do think that comes with age as well.”
After saying yes to going back on the road, Louise reveals she’s learned the power of saying no — and was inspired by pop royalty Madonna.
“I am a big fan, I loved the show she did with Sabrina Carpenter. As a woman, for me, it’s about celebrating people and their achievements,” Louise says.
“I hated reading anything negative about that because for me, she is a genius. I’m at that stage where I’m trying to embrace everything and go with it, but I am also saying no.
“I just wrote a song about saying no and I love it.

“The basis of the song is when you finally learn to say, ‘That’s not for me.’
“We all live in a world where we don’t want to say no to anything for a multitude of reasons.”
The tour, which kids off in Sunderland on April 8 next year, will see Louise picking her favourite tracks from her debut album Naked — which turns 30 in 2027 — and from Confessions for the set list.
And Louise — who will play The Mighty Hoopla festival in London next weekend — has promised to throw in some brand new tunes too.
Louise, who has scored nine Top Ten solo singles including 2 Faced and Pandora’s Kiss, adds: “I get that people will want the hits. It’s about celebrating Naked and Confessions — but I definitely will do new stuff on the tour.
“I don’t want to play it particularly safe.
“The one thing I have learned in this industry is that you have to keep changing.
“You have to keep finding new ways to motivate yourself. Whether that be music, what you’re wearing, the lyrics you’re writing.
“Now I know the lane that I’m in and I know what I want to do.”
Girls single minded
Remember Monday have today dropped the first single, DelusionalCredit: Adam BrazierRemember Monday with The Sun’s Howell DaviesCredit: supplied
THEY have been together for over a decade, represented the UK at Eurovision and performed at Wembley Stadium.
Now, British girl group Remember Monday have given Bizarre’s Howell the exclusive that they’ve just completed work on their debut album in Prague – and have today dropped the first single, Delusional.
The trio, made up of Lauren Byrne, Charlotte Steele and Holly-Anne Hull first started work on the track two years ago, but only finished it last summer with the help of McFly’s Danny Jones and Dougie Poynter, after being introduced to them at the Capital Summertime Ball.
Lauren, who posed with her bandmates for the single artwork, said: “It feels like it was the first song that started the whole new era.
“After that session, it was like, this is the kind of music that we want to be working on now.”
Holly continued: “We just wanted to kind of hone in on our sound, really solidify what we want to say moving forward.
“I don’t know if we can say, but . . . well, we’re releasing an album.
“The sound that we’re going down is quite nostalgic. Like, we really love the Nineties rom-com energy of music.”
The group will support McFly on tour this summer.
They admit their path is not always easy given that they are independent artists without the financial backing of a major record label.
Referencing the title of their single, Charlotte said: “Our whole band is run and fuelled by delusion.”
Lauren added: “It’s weird to be around. But we do just talk about things as if they are happening regardless of whether we have the funds or contacts. We just speak it into existence.
“And it actually has worked. I don’t even know how we’ve got to this stage.”
It’s working so far ladies.
Good for you.
Too pretty for this ditty
Linda Perry wrote song Beautiful for Christina AguileraCredit: Splash
SONGWRITER Linda Perry has revealed she almost turned down Christina Aguilera’s request for her song Beautiful after admitting she thought she was too pretty to sing it.
Linda wrote the track which ended up being one of Christina’s most enduring songs from her 2002 album Stripped.
Appearing on the Zach Sang Show, Linda said she played American star Christina, pictured at the Abbey’s 35th anniversary party in Hollywood, the track and explained: “She was like, ‘ I want that.’
“And I’m thinking, ‘No, you’re like, a hot chick. I’m not giving you this song. No way. Are you kidding me?”
It was only after Christina sang the track for Linda that she changed her mind, adding: “It broke the ice between the both of us when I saw that.
“That’s when I discovered beautiful people are actually insecure and just as damaged as I am.”
Sphere come all the Girls?
The Spice Girls aren’t interested in a quick nostalgia cash-inCredit: Refer to Caption
THE SPICE GIRLS might fancy zig-a-zig-ah-ing their way into a Las Vegas residency, but I’m told bosses at the Sphere aren’t interested in a quick nostalgia cash-in.
My Sphere insider said: “The Spice Girls would be a massive draw, but this couldn’t be done as a one-off or a short residency.
“The costs involved in creating a Sphere show are enormous. There’s special cameras, bespoke visuals and millions of dollars in production costs before a ticket is sold.
“They’d need all five on board and would want 40 to 60 shows.”
Last month Posh Spice teased that she was keen for the shows to go ahead, saying: “How good would the Spice Girls be at the Sphere? I love the idea of it.”
The venue, which has mind-blowing wraparound screens, has already hosted U2, The Eagles and No Doubt.

LOUIS TOMLINSON reckons there’s one man who could tempt him into a collaboration – fellow Doncaster star Yungblud.
Ex-One Direction singer Louis admitted he’s not keen on teaming up with artists for the sake of it, but working with the rock wild man would feel different.
Louis explained: “I really like his music and he’s from Doncaster, my hometown, I think that would make it even more interesting.”
But he joked that their might be a slight age gap issue.
Louis laughed: “I’d be the senior one in that conversation.”
Doncaster might be running the UK music scene soon . . .

KATIE Price has revealed the real reason she is refusing to go back to Dubai – and it has nothing to do with her marriage to Lee Andrews.

But now she has revealed she has no plans to return to Dubai – especially after hubby Lee confirmed he would be coming to the UK but failed to show up.
Now, amid a mystery relating to his current whereabouts, with Katie yesterday confirming she had not heard from him in three days and suggested he’d been kidnapped after he claimed to be in the back of a van with his hands tied up, she has revealed the real reason she would not return to Dubai.
And despite her looming marital woes, the answer is all connection to Katie’s work.
She revealed she wants to remain in the UK in order to produce content for her OnlyFans page and safely distribute it and engage with her followers on the platform.
Katie wants to continue to work on OnlyFans – something banned in the strict nation of the UAECredit: GettyShe has only spent time with Lee in the Middle EastCredit: wesleeeandrews/instagram
Posting on the adults-only site is believed to be Katie’s primary source of income – after years of being belaguered with money problems.
Speaking in a YouTube video, Katie said: “I am glad to be back [in the UK].
“When I am out there, I cannot do my OnlyFans.
“I can’t do it when I am in the country there, so I can only do it here.”
She also further revealed how she was also able to produce better quality YouTube content in the UK with her cameraman Ben who does not accompany her to Dubai.
Her YouTube channel is also understood to net Katie a decent sum.
As a result of laws in the United Arab Emeriates, Katie is banned from using OnlyFans.
Whilst the website itself isn’t explicitly banned per se, it can likely only be accessed via a VPN,
Furthermore, in the UAE, the creation, distribution, and promotion of adult content is forbidden by law as a result of the country’s strict policies.
Anyone found to be creating adult content in the country and distributing it can face punishments of lengthy prison stints or a whopping fine of around £102,000.
Despite this, Lee set up his own OnlyFans content and teased raunchy content on the site – despite already claiming to have billions in the back and the laws regarding the matter in the Middle East country.
Katie has had a turbulent weekend after she admitted she had failed to be in touch with Lee for a number of days.
The star insisted he is a “missing person” now and revealed the last time she spoke to him, he had “ties around his hand and was in a van” with a “hood over his head”.
Katie said: “I don’t know where to really begin, but I know there is all this speculation about Lee when I met him but something really serious has happened.
Coronation Street actress Nicola Thorp has revealed that she has been in tens of thousands of debt for 17 years after struggling to pay off her drama school fees

It’s perhaps every drama student’s dream to become an acclaimed actor in film or TV. But former Coronation Street star Nicola Thorp has revealed the downside to following her passion to work in the arts, as she racked up a £30,000 debt accrued from drama school fees.
The 36 year old ITV former soap star, who landed the role of Nicola Rubinstein, on the iconic TV show back in 2017, admitted to being in debt for 17 years. While on This Morning the actress claimed that students were missing their lectures as they were too tired from working to support their schooling.
Nicola studied at the Arts Educational School in London between 2007 and 2010. When asked by host Ben Shepherd about her school fees, she replied: “Yes I did. I had to pay. I am still in about £30,000 of debt now.” She added: “Even 17 years later.” Left in shock by her answer, Ben said: “And that’s the reality for a lot of these students. They don’t have a choice.”
Nicola played Nicola on the ITV soap for two years and left in 2019. Leaving the acting world behind, she has now become a journalist and presenter.
With regular spots on This Morning over the past six years, she has also co-hosted TalkTV’s Talk Today for four years, ending in 2024.
She has also delved into the world of reality TV as she appeared on Celebrity Hunted alongside her husband Nikesh Patel in 2023. The couple became parents to a baby girl the following year.
Speaking of her daughter she took to social media and wrote: “We are delighted to say that we recently welcomed our beautiful baby daughter into the world.” She added: “Everything they say about birth being a rollercoaster of emotions is true. We’re shattered and smitten and everything in between.”
KATIE Price has dropped a huge hint that she’s already forgiven husband Lee Andrews after their recent public row sparked split speculation.
The former glamour model shared a gushing loved-up post on Instagram just hours after ditching her wedding ring in a new photo.

Katie Price had earlier shared a photo where she appeared to ditch the huge diamond wedding ring husband Lee Andrews gave her when they married earlier this year.
However, just hours later, Katie shared a post posing the hypothetical question: “What’s he like?” before responding with what appeared to be a gushing tribute to her husband, who was also tagged.
She wrote: “He’s like all the love I’ve ever poured out into the world finally found its way back to me, wrapped in human form.”

After claiming he missed the flight due to business commitments, Katie defended him, while Lee later shared a social media clip hitting back at claims he had been detained.
However, speaking on her Katie Price Show podcast with sister Sophie Price, Katie admitted: “I have said to him, ‘You’ve made me look like a d**k, you’ve made yourself look like a massive d**k.
“He hasn’t made it to the UK and I’ve said to him he needs to make it to the UK, because if he doesn’t, then there’s obviously something not right going on.”
She added: “And if he does make it to England, it will shut all the rumours up.”
There is ongoing speculation thatKatie‘s husband Lee, 43, is unable to leave the United Arab Emirates cityafter allegedly forging his ex-girlfriend Dina Taji’s signature to secure a £200,000 loan – something he’s strongly denied.
Singer Delta Goodrem is hoping to turn Australia’s Eurovision fortunes aroundCredit: GettyDelta will compete in the second Eurovision Semi-Final live in ViennaCredit: EPA
The reality star is representing Cyprus with her song Jalla.
Australia, who have competed in the contest since 2015, has failed to make it past the semi-finals since 2023, when Voyager’s track Promise saw them finish in ninth place in Liverpool.
Speaking to Bizarre, Delta revealed she has put just as much effort into the production of her performance as she has the song itself.
Delta said: “I have definitely been learning on the job.
“This is my first ever Eurovision. The staging is just as important as the song.
“When I was working on the track, I wanted to make sure there was a lyric that lends itself to a journey in the production.
“I wrote it thinking about what the staging looks like and what exactly we are saying in the song.”
Delta revealed she has put just as much effort into the production of her performance as she has the song itselfCredit: EPAThe Sun’s Jack pictured alongside Delta
Admitting she was like a kid in a candy store when choosing her stage effects, Delta added: “You can do all sorts of things.
“They give you a long list.. honestly, what an amazing opportunity.
“You can have fire, wind, you name it. I felt like I was going shopping.”
Last year’s 2025 contest in Basel, Switzerland, was watched by a staggering 166 million people.
However, Delta insists she isn’t fazed by the massive global audience set to watch her tonight.
She said: “It doesn’t matter if it’s Hackney, the Commonwealth Games, Eurovision, or my outdoor pop-up in Camden earlier this year, I care just as much about every single performance.
“My game plan is simple, stay true to myself and bring it.”
While Delta is determined to make her country proud, she isn’t taking things too seriously.
In fact, she says bonding with fellow contestants has been a highlight.
Delta said: “Eurovision is completely its own world. I met a lot of artists in Oslo earlier this year and you naturally find your friends. Denmark’s Soren Torpegaar came up to me and told me how he went to one of my shows the last time I was in Denmark. It was really sweet.

The Sun exclusively revealed she hasn’t settled her debts – despite hubby Lee claiming to be a billionaire.
The mum of five flashed a smile as she arrived in the UK’s Gatwick Airport, wearing a tight-fit grey crop top which clung to her curves and black joggers.
She pulled on a trendy pair of sunglasses and styled her hair poker straight, looking fresh from the long-haul trip.
Katie – who flashed her huge wedding ring in the Arrivals terminal – was accompanied by an assistant who wheeled three bags of luggage alongside her.

2016 – Opting for bigger breasts yet again, Katie had another set of implants, along with implants, Botox and lip fillers

Lee allegedly refused to pay the bill, however he insists the work was ‘complementary’.
The clinic specialises in facial contouring and liquid rhinoplasty among other surgical and non-surgical treatments.
In response to a recent Sun post about Lee using fake money to scam women, the clinician has shared his own experience with the couple.
Just days ago, the beauty clinic owner claimed that he had not received any money and was still chasing the couple.
But in a surprise move, he alleged that he had been blocked, without any explanation for their failure to pay.
He said: “This is expected as they both left without paying for their treatment and after multiple sent invoices, I was blocked.
“Although no mention of being unhappy with the results was ever brou- ght to my attention.
“What Katie is experiencing with her treatment is perfectly normal.”
But Lee has denied these claims when the The Sun reached out to him.
He has insisted that Katie was left “unable to move her mouth” following the procedure and disputes the charges.
KATIE Price has revealed she’s back in hospital for more surgery after sharing a topless snap and asking fans to guess what procedure she’s having.
The former glamour model, 47, recently travelled to Belgium for more work on her ‘biggest ever boobs’.

Taking to her Instagram Stories on Thursday, Maya shared a snap of her feet as she sat in the waiting room at the doctors.
She explained: “At the drs now as a follow up from my smear test the other day.
“I have to get those cells burned off, feeling nervous but this is why smears are so important!”
In the next picture, she explained that the cells actually didn’t have to be burned off in the end, but she did have to undergo more tests.

Sharing a mirror selfie from the bathroom following the appointment, Maya said: “So turns out I didn’t need the cells burned off but a mini biopsy to monitor the cells further.
“Again reminder to go in if you are putting it off.”
Cells are removed or “burned off” to stop them from developing into cervical cancer in the future.
Smear tests can determine whether any abnormal cells are present and whether this needs to be done.

Before that, she spent a romantic few days in Italy with boyfriend Ruben Dias.
Maya shared an Instagram photo dump of the break to Rome, which included visits to the Sistine Chapel and the classical Vatican Gardens with with her Man City star boyfriend.
And she gushed about the trip to her three million fans, writing: “Can you tell I love it here?”

Tracy, 52, wrote alongside a video: “My diagnosis of breast cancer. So the journey begins …..
“Love to everyone who is also going through this journey, looking forward to hearing from you all, especially you amazing survivors.”
The actress explained she was due to have surgery in two weeks but doctors at the Royal Berkshire Hospital told her she needs to undergo chemo after tests revealed she has HER2 in her cells.
HER2 is a protein that promotes cancer cell growth and is found in more aggressive types of the disease.
She said after the course of chemo she hopes to have surgery to remove lumps and lymph glands so more tests can be done, which could lead to further surgery before radiotherapy.
Samia Longchambon commented: “Sending love to you Tracy.”
Sally Ann Matthews wrote: “Love you baby girl x.”
A fan said: “What a brave and brilliant post. Sending positive vibes and love to you.”
Tracy said she is currently in a daily 12 step programme and told fans she’s recovered from “many addictions” including anorexia, bulimia, alcoholism and drugs.
She thanked her friends in fellowships around the world for supporting.

The star said she has struggled with losing some of her hair as a result of the cancer but added: “I am truly grateful that I have this opportunity to hopefulyl be free from cancer as well.”
She also thanked fans for sending messages asking if she was OK after taking time away from social media for Lent to be more present.
Tracy’s soap character Maxine arrived on the cobbles in 1995 as a friend of Fiona Middleton (Angela Griffin).
However, she betrayed her pal by having a one-night stand with Fiona’s boyfriend – Steve MacDonald.
A year after making her Weatherfield debut, she was awarded the Rear of the Year title.
In the soap, Maxine married butcher Ashley Peacock (Steven Arnold) and they welcomed a son named Joshua.
She also ended up having a baby with the local doctor – despite being married to Ashley.

How to check your breasts
IT is important to regularly check your breasts for any changes.
Breast tissue reaches all the way up to your collarbone and across to your armpit, so it’s vital to check these areas too.
If you feel or see any changes in your breast, you should always consult your GP.
Charity CoppaFeel! recommends checking your breasts monthly, so you can pick up on any changes quickly.
Breasts do change naturally as part of your monthly menstrual cycle, so you should get to know your breasts, how they feel and what changes they usually go through to know if anything is out of the ordinary.
Five-step check
There is a five-step self exam you can do at home to check for any changes.
Step one: Begin by looking in a mirror, facing it with your arms on your hips and your shoulders straight. You should be looking for any dimpling, puckering, bulging skin, redness, soreness, a rash or changes to the nipple.
Step two: Still looking in the mirror, raise both arms above your head and check for the same changes.
Step three: With your arms still above your head, check for any fluid coming from the nipples. This can include milky, yellow or watery fluid, or blood.
Step four: While lying down, use your opposite hand to check each breast. Using a few fingers, keeping them flat and together, go in a small circular motion around your breasts. Make sure you feel the entire breast by going top to bottom in these small circles. It helps to develop a system or pattern to make sure every inch is covered. Use light pressure for the skin and tissue just beneath, medium pressure for the tissue in the middle of your breasts, and firm pressure to feel the tissue at the back, feeling down to your ribcage.
Step five: Feel your breasts while either standing or sitting, using the same small circular motions.
