If you’re watching I’m a Celebrity... South Africa, then your answer is probably something like: erm… nothing. Jimmy Bullard hasn't even entered the I'm a Celeb camp yet.

And you’d be right – but, here’s the twist: the South African edition of the reality juggernaut was secretly filmed last year (September 2025), which means we've had MONTHS for spoilers, side-eyes and backstage beef to leak out and land in our laps here at heat.

That's how we already know about the infamous Gemma Collins x Sinitta feud (which seemingly kicked off when Simon Cowell's bestie branded Gemma a 'joke' when she found out she was starring in Chicago – ooft). And it's also why we’ve been bracing ourselves for a rumoured uproar between Adam Thomas and Jimmy.

In fact, this particular rift started making headlines way back in November – and according to The Sun, their alleged row could make things very awkward come the live final later this month (Friday April 24 2026).

Apparently, the Waterloo Road star lost it with football legend Jimmy Bullard (in upcoming scenes) while filming a 'tense' Bushtucker Trial for the spin-off. So intense that, according to a source close to the publication, Adam started 'calling him a c*** and every other name under the sun.'

The source revealed, 'Adam totally lost it.

'He started screaming at Jimmy, calling him a c*** and every other name under the sun.

'It was completely unexpected and deeply shocked the other campmates, including Jimmy who didn’t see it coming.

'Adam is intensely competitive and was taking his jungle return very seriously.

'He was frustrated by what happened in the Bushtucker Trial and lost his temper.'

Not much is known about what sparked the alleged row, but according to the publication it all kicked off during a 'high-stakes challenge' – and resulted in someone actually yelling, 'I’m A Celebrity.. Get Me Out of Here' to stop the challenge.

And now, according to insiders, show bosses are having serious conversations about how to manage the feuding lads ahead of the live final.

A source added, 'Adam and Jimmy weren’t able to mend their friendship in South Africa after the massive row broke out.'

'It's thrown doubt on whether both of them will be at the live final.

'As it stands, they can’t stomach being together on stage in front of an audience after everything that happened.

'It's yet to be confirmed whether they will both be there.'

We never thought we'd say it, but I'm a Celeb South Africa? We are sat and watching.

Will the Love Island All Stars 2026 drama ever end? We sure hope not.

It’s been absolutely non-stop since this year’s All Stars wrapped on series three of the spin-off. From Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies splitting (and her suddenly dating Tyrique Hyde) to Dentist-gate, frankly, these Islanders are doing our job for us at this point. And now it seems some fresh dramz is afoot – and this time it involves All Stars double act bombshell Harrison Solomon and US bombshell Carrington Rodriguez (remember their abysmal plan to manoeuvre Sher Suarez and Jessy Potts into the Secret Garden?).

Anyway, ICYMI, according to the rumour mill, Harrison and Belle Hassan have recently called it quits on their romance – which means the Yung Bull is on the loose again. And according to The Sun, Harrison has been putting his feelers out there and texting the same unnamed girl that his pal Carrington – who recently split from Helena Ford – is also texting. (He and several other All Stars boys are currently living their best life in a London Airbnb.) But naturally, some fans now reckon the buds might be at odds.

A source told the publication, 'Harrison and Carrington have both been speaking to the same girl from London and have butted heads over it.

'No one is sure if there was any crossover with Belle on Harrison’s side, or Helena on Carrington’s but everyone knows it’s been happening.'

So… how are the besties amid all this alleged drama? Well, according to the boys themselves: 'Harrington’s all good over here.'

Obsessed.

The lads recently took to Instagram to post a joint grid snap of them both in matching outfits (adorbs), with the caption above. And clearly they fancied poking fun at the recent press, with Carrington commenting on his own post, 'No we’re mad at eachother. Remember 😂 lol' and Harrison adding '🤣🤣 so silly.'

Their pal Ciaran even got involved in the gag, commenting, 'Swear you two don’t like each other or sommin.'

So yes, we’re thinking this latest drama fire may have already been extinguished – which we’re glad to hear, because we’re manifesting a Simple Life-esque reality show for these two menaces.

Emilia Clarke

When Emilia Clarke signed on as Daenerys in the decidedly steamy Game of Thrones, she had no idea she’d be baring all quite so often. Soon, those dragons weren't the only things getting attention. Emilia confessed to shedding a few tears before some saucy scenes with man mountain Jason Momoa, though thankfully he was a total gent. But her most excruciating memory? Cue an awkward night in with her family, ‘They were kind of like "You’re not doing much this season" so I told them to watch this one episode. I ended up sitting them down and saying "Let’s watch it". I instantly regretted it. I was like "Oh dear". My dad was like, "Again?!"'

Sydney Sweeney

Her smouldering performances have made her a breakout star, but not all of Sydney Sweeney’s naked moments have been celebrated the way she hoped. After The White Lotus star proved she was more than just a pretty face, she called out the double standards, 'With The White Lotus, I felt like people were finally recognising the hard work I’ve been doing… I’m very proud of my work in Euphoria… But no-one talks about it because I got naked… There’s a stigma against actresses who get naked on screen. When a guy has a sex scene or shows his body, he still wins awards and gets praise. But the moment a girl does it, it’s completely different.’

Natalie Portman

Natalie Portman has never been shy about an on-screen reveal, but thanks to the internet, she’s rethinking her choices. Scenes from films like Hotel Chevalier have popped up in places she’d rather not see them, ‘It's more that I don't like misappropriation of stuff, like when you create something as part of a story and then a piece of it ends up on a porn site… It’s meant to be a dramatic scene and part of a story. That really makes me angry… I just don't like when people take it out of a story… it's like I should know better.’

Samira Wiley

She made waves in Orange Is The New Black, but Samira Wiley’s first sex and nude scene had her worried about just one thing: her parents tuning in. She spilled the beans, ‘It was my first sex scene and my first nude scene that I’d done. I think I was worried about what my parents were going to think and all that kind of thing… It definitely wasn’t sexy. It felt very mechanical.’

Casey Wilson

Comedy actress Casey Wilson only has herself to blame for her infamous mooning moment in Ass Backwards. She co-wrote the film, so when the opening scene called for a bare-bum roadside adventure, she found herself wishing for a little more modesty - and maybe a body double, ‘We wrote that the movie opens on a shot of our bare asses, and when we were on all fours in a van on the side of the road, with our makeup artist lovingly touching up our asses with ass make-up, I thought, "Why did we write this?" I needed an ass double, but we didn’t have the budget!’

Gordon Ramsay

He’s a whizz in the kitchen, but Gordon Ramsay is less confident without his chef whites. The world-famous chef seriously regrets baring his backside for an episode of Hotel Hell, ‘I do regret one thing - getting my ass out in the shower. Because of the sort of secret footage, I had to take a shower like you do in the morning. I know. I'm sorry.’

Ben Stiller

As much as he loves a good punchline, Ben Stiller would take a pass on the Along Came Polly nude scene nowadays - especially since he could've used a stunt double. 'Later, I discovered I could have had a bottom double - but no-one had bothered to tell me,' he said. Oops.

Jason Segel

Jason Segel’s fully nude scene in Forgetting Sarah Marshall became legendary… but it also brought some unexpected consequences (besides breezy shorts). Now everyone seems to expect him to do it again, and he’ll never forget that one audience member at a preview who, er, critiqued his assets, ‘I tell you, you get your penis out once, and everyone expects it in the rest of your movies… One guy - it's always one guy - raises his hand and they're like, "Yes?" He said, "Is no one going to talk about this guy's weird dick?" It had never occurred to me it was weird ever in my life.’

Back in 2022, TV power pairing Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash got their happily ever after, saying ‘I do’ in an intimate ceremony held in the garden of their famous Essex pad Pickle Cottage. But it was sensationally revealed last week that the almost four-year marriage is not legally binding, as the couple – who have built a brand largely hooked on family life – never formally registered their union.

Their partnership was already under scrutiny as Stacey, 36, has been spotted without her wedding ring on several occasions. And now, insiders say the mum-of-five has been blindsided by the backlash, which has seen the couple labelled as ‘fake’ and their nuptials as a ‘PR stunt’.

‘Stacey's so upset that she’s been called a fake and acccused of staging the wedding for money. She and Joe never set out to deceive anyone – life just got in the way, so it never got legally stamped,’ we’re told.

Spoilers. Scandals. Showbiz chaos. Click here to add heat to your Google preferences and stay ahead of the drama.

‘She says the kids are more binding than any piece of paper. They may not be legally husband and wife, but they are mum and dad – and that’s for life. Their marriage is far from being a sham.’

After six years of dating, the couple tied the knot surrounded by their nearest and dearest, including their children – Zachary, 18, Leighton 13, from Stacey’s previous relationships; Rex, six, and Rose, four; and Harry, 18, Joe’s son with his ex-fiancée Emma Sophocleous.

At the time, one follower asked Stacey – who welcomed her fifth child Belle in February 2023 – to explain the logistics of getting married at home. The star explained on her Instagram Story that to get married anywhere legally, it must be ‘readily available’ for ceremonies and hold a ‘civil ceremony licence’. After writing that it wasn’t an option owing to it being their private family home, Stacey added, ‘We are having a relaxed private blessing in front of our closest friends and family, and a ceremony of our love to each other, then we will register our marriage legally after.’

But a source said last week they haven’t signed on the dotted line, revealing, ‘They always intended to do the legal part, but with six kids and busy diaries, they just haven’t got round to it.’

And our insider added, ‘Fans will be justified in feeling they’ve been misled. And it will certainly raise eyebrows with firms and even TV execs that they’ve invested in a perfect picture that’s all a sham.’

After years of wholesome family displays on social media, the couple let the cameras into Pickle Cottage for two series of their self-fronted reality series, Stacey & Joe, where they showed the ups and downs of their marriage and running a busy household. Then in December, it was revealed that they’d pressed paused on reality TV commitments indefinitely, just months before their marriage hit the headlines. After Stacey was photographed without her ring on at the end of March, Ben Shephard questioned the former X Factor star about it live on This Morning, but she brushed it off by saying she ‘probably took it off to go to the toilet’.

However, after Stacey was pictured without the jewellery once again during what appeared to be a tense outing with Joe, split rumours began to surface, with many fans wondering whether they have thrown in the towel and the fairytale is over for good.

But our source insists, ‘Stacey is defiant, she says she doesn't need a piece of paper to validate her marriage. She's furious about people saying the wedding day was staged. She thinks it's all just nasty and hurtful. It was their wedding day as far as they were both concerned – they both committed to the personal vows they made.’

The minute we see just a slither of sunshine here in the UK suddenly everyone is in the most spectacular of moods, including Love Island stars.

Admittedly 90 per cent of them are heading to Coachella for a few days of sunshine and selfies, which would make anyone merry, tbh. One All Star who has taken to social media to declare he is having a 'great day,' is winner Ciaran Davies and all things considered, it's good to see he is looking upwards after the whole Samie Elishi debacle.

Posting a Story on his Instagram, Ciaran wrote, 'TODAY'S A GREAT DAY!' capital letters, an exclamation mark and everything.

His next Story revealed that the Welsh reality TV star will be spending the summer in South Wales and will be 'heading across the pond' for a few weeks in May and by 'across the pond' he means Phoenix and Los Angeles. Turns out that Ciaran is set to spend spring with his American bombshell bros Zac Woodworth, Yamen Sanders and Carrington Rodriguez.

Ciaran's exciting holiday plans come just a few days after his ex and fellow All Stars winner Samie hard-launched her romance with Tyrique Hyde by way of some semi-saucy selfies, which left everybody literally GAGGED.

Not only that by Ty recently confessed during his chat with Joe Bagg on the Not My Bagg podcast, that despite fans demanding Samie 'give back' the Love Island prize money, she doesn't have any of it left.

'Everyone's like "Give the £25K back, give the £25K to charity" - why is everyone acting like this is the first time in Love Island history that someone has won that shouldn't have won,' he ranted.

Ty then added, 'The £25K is gone. You lot voted for them to win, when I said they shouldn't win anyway. Hold the L. Next year, pick a better winner.'

Emily Vierke is a digital writer who has dabbled in the world of celeb, beauty and fashion. She enjoys stalking Love Island girlies Indiyah Polack and Matilda Draper for outfit inspo nearly as much as she enjoys watching clips of Yasmin Pettet being a Love Island icon.

Surrounded by luscious green, with an abundance of wild flowers and white washed walls, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s picturesque Montecito mansion has provided the perfect backdrop for Meghan to morph into California’s new Martha Stewart.

The Spanish-style abode, which Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, now share with their children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, sits in an impressive 7.4 acre estate and is complete with nine bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, a library, a sauna, a gym, a pool and, of course, its very own chicken coop.

Privately, it has been their retreat and a safe place from the tumult they suffered upon stepping down as senior working royals in 2020, and with her heart set on focusing on her lifestyle brand As Ever, the aesthetic of Meghan’s idyllic home has lent itself to everything from picnics to flower arranging and al fresco home-made dinners.

But now, in just the latest of Meghan’s recent shock moves – most tellingly the reports that she has trademarked her brand name in Australia ahead of her and Harry’s visit later this month – we’re told that the domestic duchess is now itching to make a major change, as a source says she’s eyeing up a new life for their family closer to Hollywood, where she feels they need to be to launch their next chapter.

An insider says, ‘Meghan’s decided that being closer to Los Angeles will make life easier. She’s sick of having to lose 4 hours of her day in the car when she has meetings or appointments and the fact that their neighbors continue to trash-talk them doesn’t exactly make her feel welcome.

‘But more than that, she says they’re too cut off from the social scene in Hollywood, she wants to be much more tapped in because that’s when the deals really happen.'

We’re told that, even boasting neighbours like Oprah Winfrey and previously Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry, for Meghan, living in the Montecito, which was previously in the top 25 of Forbes’ ‘Places to Retire Rich’ list, just doesn’t shout ‘Next Hot Thing’.

The source adds, ‘The fact is, for most power players in the biz, Montecito is just a vacation spot; they leave their home there empty most of the year so it’s not like there are many chances to schmooze.’

While there is always the fear that their house could stagnate on the market after it was reported last year that a close neighbour had been forced to sell their own mansion at half of the $33 million asking price, the Sussexes own home has recently been valued at around $30 million, meaning they could pocket a staggering $15 million.

And after they were reported to have splashed out $4.7 million in 2024 on a villa in the exclusive Costa Terra Golf and Ocean Club in Portugal, the source says Meghan is already planning to extend their property portfolio with the extra cash.

However, we’re told that Meghan’s priority is to get back into the good graces of the power players in Hollywood, including Kris Jenner, who the Sussexes are rumoured to have fallen out with after their request for the Kardashians to remove pictures of them from the matriarch’s 70th birthday party in November ended up overshadowing coverage of the event itself.

The insider says, ‘She’d love to get a second place in Brentwood or Bel Air like a lot of her friends have. If they can squeeze it Meghan would love it if they could be bi-coastal and get a place in New York, too. But the reality is they aren’t in the financial position to run two massive households so they need to make a choice.

‘She’s open to Malibu if Harry still wants the beach life and she’s even saying Calabasas could be a great fit, not least because they could live in the same neighborhood as Kris Jenner, and she’d really love to repair that relationship.’

The Sussexes potential move comes amidst speculation that this year could be make or break for the couple. With viewing figures for her second season of With Love, Meghan having plummeted, with the show failing to hit Netflix’s Top 10, Netflix not only chose not to renew the show, but also cut ties with Meghan’s As Ever brand in one foul swoop last month.

Now, it’s been widely reported that the Duchess is determined to overhaul her reputation, as the source says the celebs who once welcomed her with open arms in Monetcito, such as close neighbour Oprah Winfrey, have all drifted away over time, with Ellen DeGeneres and Portia De Rossi also leaving to move to the UK.

We’re told, ‘It’s not that she doesn’t love their home in Montecito, the grounds are stunning and she’s put a lot of work into decorating it to her taste, but she says it’s just way too removed for what she wants to accomplish.

‘She hates feeling like she’s always on the outside of things and that’s just the reality of living so far removed from the action. Even Oprah, who’s always been such a big supporter, doesn't seem to have the time for them these days. It’s left Meghan feeling much more cut off than she expected and she’s ready to change things up.’

Meanwhile, Harry has been noticeably absent from red carpets over the past few months, with Meghan attending the Fifteen Percent Fundraising Gala solo in February after heading to Paris alone for Fashion Week in October and attending another Children’s Hospital fundraising event in LA just days later.

It’s also clear that unlike Meghan, who grew up in bustling LA, Harry is also thriving with a much quieter pace of life, having been seen playing at the local Montecito Polo Club, walking barefoot on the beach with their dogs and bike riding with their children.

And the source says Harry, who is reported to be ‘homesick’ for his life in the UK, is very reluctant to move to what he may well perceive as the lion’s den after a source previously revealed how he had been left ‘frustrated’ and ‘exhausted’ by the make-or-break world of Hollywood.

They tell us, ‘Harry is pretty resistant, he has zero desire to be anywhere near Hollywood and he’s not keen on New York, either.

‘He’d love it if they could get a second place in London but there’s almost zero chance of that happening, so he’d prefer to stay put. It’s become a tug of war, but odds are Meghan will win eventually, she usually does.’

Is Mercury in retrograde or something? Because what the actual f**k is going on in the land of Love Island right now?

Normally, we get a nice breather from Love Island dramz between Love Island All Stars and civilian Love Island (March, April and May), but it’s been ENDLESS over the last few weeks. All Stars winner Samie Elishi ditched Ciaran Davies after a couple of weeks and is now shacked up with the king of the Love Island live stream, Tyrique Hyde. Belle Hassan is accusing Scott van der Sluis of getting his hands on a phone at the dentist in South Africa, ex-besties Scott and Whitney Adebayo are seemingly no longer sweet, and Carrington Rodriguez and Helena Ford are reportedly no more after he was seeing 'other women'.

And now, apparently Love Island 2025 stars Meg Moore and Harrison Solomon are beefing – which really did catch us off guard, because we can’t remember them saying a word to each other on their series.

It all started when TikTok star DaniBabes (Daniella Stockley) revealed that an undisclosed Love Island girlie gave her a total blanking – plus an up-and-down – at a recent showbiz bash. Fans quickly assumed she meant Meg… and Meg quickly assumed it was about her, too, because she clapped back in the comments.

Rewind a bit: apparently, Daniella was at a party, tapped Meg (who previously dated fellow Love Island star Dejon Noel-Williams) on the shoulder, and told her she was 'so pretty'. Meg allegedly looked at her, 'gave me a dirty look,' and went back to what she was doing.

Naturally, Daniella made a TikTok about it. And while she didn’t name Meg specifically, Meg responded writing, 'This video is actually so disappointing to hear, you came up to me touched my shoulder and said omg you're so pretty and I said aww that's so lovely thank you so much and then you was gone. I actually met so many lovely people the other night in something that was not my usual setting and I'm very confused how you felt this way on me. Especially feeling the need to do a whole video on me calling me the most vile names under the sun on such [a] platform.'

Daniella then responded with a follow-up TikTok, going into further detail, saying, 'Babe, I didn’t name you, so why would you think it’s you? Who lies about that?' and, 'It’s not that hard to believe – you kind of bullied Shakira and all the girls on Love Island for about eight weeks.' Daniella then apologised to Meg for some of the 'outrageous' things she said in her previous TikTok, adding, 'I shouldn’t have said that.'

So what does this have to do with All Stars 2026 bombshell Harrison? Nothing, but he’s somehow managed to insert himself right in the centre of the drama 'cause chaotic Love Island stars amirite?

Taking to the comments section of Daniella’s second TikTok, Harrison commented, 'I believe you, Dani' – referring to her accusations about Meg.

Daniella responded, 'Thanks queen.'

Naturally, Harrison’s four words have only fanned the flames and got everyone speculating about a possible feud between Meg and Harrison.

The only thing we can add is that we know Harrison is firmly on Team Harry Cooksley and Shakira Khan, as he and Harry are besties, and we all know Meg and Shakira aren't the closest...

If there is one MAFS Australia cast member who has done a full 180 it's definitely series 13's Luke Fourniotis.

He didn't get off to the best start after he forgot the wedding rings, had to return home, drive back to the venue all to find out his wife Mel Akbay was already at the aisle. To make matters worse, while Mel was saying her vows Luke was chewing gum...

He tried to put things right but it didn't go down well with his wife and by the first commitment ceremony she voted 'leave'. Unfortunately for her, Luke voted 'stay' which meant they both had to stay in the experiment. Surprisingly though, they managed to hit it off the following week and it's all thanks to their Intimacy task.

Spoilers. Scandals. Showbiz chaos. Click here to add heat to your Google preferences and stay ahead of the drama.

However, by week three they realised they were flogging a dead horse and they both decided to quit the show with Luke saying 'there comes a point where you can't keep going' and Mel admitting 'I couldn't have foreseen how hard this experiment was going to be'.

However, Luke's luck might have changed because he's now sparked recoupling rumours with 2025 bride Jamie Marinos - who was originally paired with Dave Hand.

The rumours first began after Jamie and her sister posted a TikTok of themselves watching a clip of the latest series of MAFS and in the video while speaking about Luke and Mel's relationship, the series 12 cast member says, 'She [Mel] does not deserve him.'

After one of her followers asked 'Jamie go save Luke', she replied, 'I wish I could have 😭.'

Jamie also said to another fan, 'Justice for our boy Luke 🫶.'

Fast forward a week and Jamie opened up about Luke and admitted, 'I think Australia is having a bit of a crush on Luke because he seems so beautiful, he’s a handsome boy, I definitely can’t wait to meet him, anyways, the MAFS world is interconnected.

'I just want to give him a big hug, especially when he was crying and sad, I think we all felt for him.'

She added to Chattr, 'I can’t say if I’d go on a date with him, because I don’t actually know him yet, or know him properly, but I definitely, you know, look forward to meeting him one day.'

The plot then thickened when Jamie and Luke were PAPPED together on what appeared to be a date and shortly after, fans were begging for the tea with one person commenting on her TikTok, 'Okay, but what about your date with Luke? 👀.'

And Jamie didn't exactly deny the rumours when she replied, 'He's the nicest man.'

Tea.

Well, hopefully their relationship will last longer than their previous couplings. We know Mel and Luke called it quits during the third commitment ceremony and while Jamie and Dave appeared to be one of the strongest couples, they also split once the show ended - despite choosing to stay together during final vows.

Jamie then sparked recoupling rumours with Eliot Donovan and while MAFS 2025 was airing, it came to light that she already knew intruder groom Teejay Halkias.

As much as we enjoy when the reality TV stars stopped by heat Towers and spill tea on their designated TV shows, we also love when the girlies give us the info on their favourite beauty products. The latest to do so was Made in Chelsea girlie Jules Pollard.

Jules, who was joined by Chuggs Wallis and Kit Paterson, during her trip to heatworld, not only gave us the lowdown between Jazz Saunders and Demi Sims, but also gave us some beauty tips and tricks.

The minute Jules was sat in front of us we couldn't help but comment on the fact that she had the shiniest hair we had ever laid our eyes on.

'I washed it,' she laughed before admitting, 'Chuggs said that to me, he said, "Jules your hair looks really nice," and it's because I had a shower.'

'No I do actually shower every day, I promise,' she clarified.

But in all seriousness, we asked Jules for a hair product that she would always recommend and she was excited to give us her fave.

'Oooh I love the Wella ultimate hair spray thingy,' she revealed, 'you put it in once you've washed your hair, when it's wet, and it's unbelievable.'

We love that she called it the 'Wella ultimate hair spray thingy' but luckily that was enough info for us to find the correct product.

'A game changer,' she added.

The Wella product does have rave reviews with thousands rating it a five star haircare item and in even better news it's currently in the sale.

There is something about a Made in Chelsea star revealing beauty secrets that has us gripped, so when Jules Pollard swung by heat Towers for a gossip about all things reality TV based we demanded she give us all the info on how she always looks god damn gorge.

Jules was joined by her MIC co-stars Kit Paterson and Chuggs Wallis, who also chatted about they lives on Kings Road and were MORE than happy to spill some tea, including which Love Island star they'd want to see on MIC.

But anyway, back to Jules and which product she swears by because let's be honest if it can last for a day of filming stressful Made in Chelsea scenes, it can SURELY last a day in the office/at a gig/looking after the kids/the gym etc.

'I would have to say the Laura Mercier setting powder,' she revealed, 'the translucent setting powder, unbelievable.'

'I don't look sweaty,' she went on before adding, 'I don't think I do anyway...'

Cue Kit and Chuggs who were also there offering a few chuckles and we can confirm that Jules does not look sweaty on screen, like, ever.

'It keeps the make-up on,' she confirmed and that's all we want from a setting powder really isn't it?

The Laura Mercier powder is available in two sizes; the regular is 29g and the travel size which is 9.3g. It also comes in four different shades; Honey, Medium Deep, Tone up Rose and Translucent - which is the colour Jules uses.

As always we have provided a link to said make-up product below so you can grab whichever one you're after and with the hotter months approaching, now is the time we will need it.

We literally wrote this in an article yesterday, but some things bear repeating: a streaming service needs to make an eight-part series on all this Love Island All Stars 2026 drama.

And we don’t mean the drama that happened in the villa – NO, we mean all the drama that has unfolded IRL in the last two months. ITV, it makes sense for you to make this happen… but that’s your call.

With the fandom still obsessing over winner Samie Elishi moving on with Tyrique Hyde after a grand total of three weeks with fellow winner Ciaran Davies, another one of the biggest off-screen sagas dominating our attention is - and will henceforth be known as - DENTIST-GATE 🦷.

ICYMI, All Star Belle Hassan got her revenge (well...) on Scott van-der-Sluis - who she had a complicated friendship/romance with in the villa - on Jamie Laing’s podcast, Great Company, by revealing his alleged 'game playing' and describing unaired moments that have, quite frankly, blown our minds.

On the podcast - which was released last week - Belle alleged that Scott somehow got hold of a phone during an emergency dentist visit in South Africa – either using it himself or asking the dentist to Google things for him (that part isn’t clear). She claimed he looked up football scores and press coverage, and allegedly found out who the public favourites were at the time (Belle was one of them at this moment in the series).

Belle then said Scott told her about it, and that he also told other Islanders. She also alleged they had secret conversations in the vaping area (which are never be aired) where he discussed the phone situation and suggested they couple up (and according to Belle, producers were pushing this pairing long before this). OOFT.

Unsurprisingly, the claims lit up the internet - and Scott, who (judging by his socials) seems more than happy with Leanne Amaning right now - quickly clapped back on social media, writing, 'Three weeks to cook up a story to clear their name and this is the best they could do, the problem with agreeing to lie is your always going to slip up.

'Should have just got their TikTok friends to say it and take the heat.'

Double OOFT.

Now, according to The Sun, sources close to the situation have stepped in to clarify what they claim really went down, including the key detail that there were allegedly two dentist visits, not one. A villa insider said, 'There were two dentist visits.

'The first was right at the start of week two for a temporary root canal, which is when Shaq and Jess were still in the villa.

'The dentist and a member of production allowed Scott to watch football highlights on a ceiling TV while he was in the chair.

'He was not allowed access to a remote control and had absolutely no access to a phone, as a member of welfare was present the entire time.

'He was briefly told what was happening in the outside world while at the dentist, but this was not initiated by him and he had no means to Google anything or act on it.

'It wasn’t anything specific or actionable like rankings or strategic information. It was more general conversation.'

The source added, 'Neither of the dentist visits were during the periods people are now trying to link to the Leanne, Sher or Belle situations and the second visit is especially irrelevant.'

They concluded, 'There is frustration internally that false claims have been made which misrepresent duty of care and protocol.

'These allegations risk damaging the credibility of the show when they are simply not true.'

It’s giving three sides to every story, and we have a strange feeling this saga isn’t over just yet.

We'd be on about episode five if this were a drama series, we reckon...

WATCH: Love Island's Scott and Sean have gone from enemies to friends and we're SO here for it

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer Online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

We just knew some of the cast of MAFS Australia would have history before the show and we were right.

Back in 2023, it came to light that Married at First Sight UK's Georges Berthonneau and Ella Morgan knew each other before the show, MAFS Australia's Jamie Marinos 'hooked up' with intruder groom Teejay Halkias before the show and Dave Hand and Sieran Sweptstone also dated before entering the experiment.

Obvs last year's success couple Jeff Gobbels and Rhi Disljenkovic also knew each other before they were paired on the show and luckily it went well the second time round as they're still loved up.

And now it turns out series 13's Stephanie Marshall also knew one of her co-stars before she entered the experiment and married controversial groom Tyson Gordon.

Opening up about her first dinner party where she felt 'nervous', Steph admitted it was 'comforting' to see a familiar face - Grayson McIvor.

'I worked with him back in 2017 for a very short moment, so to see his face was really comforting as well,' she told Pedestrian TV.

'Just to think, "Oh my god, I know somewhere in this experiment, we’re both going through the same thing", it was a bit of a comfort blanket.

'We literally worked together for two months, and I haven’t seen the guy since, but just to see his face, there was just a bit of comfort in that moment, which was nice.'

We bet it was; after all, Steph and Tyson's first dinner party didn't go down well as the majority of the cast were quick to grill him on his anti-woke views and THEN Bec Zacharia kicked off and had a go at everyone - especially Gia Fleur and newbie Joel Moses.

And while we reckon Steph and Grayson could've made a cute couple, we doubt that'll happen any time soon because he quit the show alongside Julia Vogl and Steph's still married to Tyson. Although, we doubt that'll last...

We can’t remember the last time there was this much post-season Love Island drama, but the cast of All Stars 2026 have well and truly been keeping us fed with all their feuding, fighting and falling out.

It all kicked off between Scott van-der-Sluis, Belle Hassan and Whitney Adebayo last week when Belle and Whitney made some wild claims against Scott during separate podcast appearances – calling him a ‘game player’ and even accusing him of secretly using a phone to access information about the show when he left the villa for a trip to the dentist.

But it’s not all drama for Scott and he’s recently been on a romantic trip to Iceland with Leanne Amaning, where the pair took a major step in their relationship.

Taking to Snapchat, Scott has confirmed that he and Leanne are officially boyfriend and girlfriend and we’re over the moon for them.

Sharing an adorable picture of him and Leanne taking a dip in a hot tub, Scott wrote, ‘Just me & my girlfriend 💗.’

It’s giving couple goals and we love it.

Not all of this year’s All Stars couples are still going strong though as winners Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies famously split just three weeks after bagging the £50k prize money, while Belle and her villa flame Harrison Solomon have also reportedly called it quits.

‘Belle and Harrison have had a fun time outside the villa but ultimately they knew it wasn’t going to work long-term so have called it a day,’ an insider told The Sun.

‘They never made it official so there’s no bad blood.’

Both Leanne and Scott have unfollowed Belle and Whitney in the wake of their podcast interviews after they suggested that he made decisions about who to couple up with based on outside information.

Scott also hit out the pair for ‘lying’ on X when he shared a post which read, ‘Three weeks to cook up a story to clear their name and this is the best they could do, the problem with agreeing to lie is you’re always going to slip up. Should have just got their TikTok friends to say it and take the heat 😭.’

Nathan Katnoria is heat and Closer online’s senior digital writer. He became obsessed with Love Island when Malin Andersson came back to confront Terry Walsh in series two and hasn’t looked back since. When he’s not interviewing former Islanders, Nathan is scrolling through their Instagram feeds for relationship updates and piping hot tea.

Is April the time for Love Island break ups? We're only a week into the month but every day we wake up and another All Stars couple have gone their separate ways.

Obviously winners Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies are no more, Helena Ford recently confirmed she split from Carrington Rodriguez and now rumour has it, Belle Hassan and Harrison Solomon have been added to the no-longer-an-item line-up.

It was originally just rumours as neither Belle or Harrison have confirmed they've split but then the Young Bull went and posted a TikTok and all but declared he was now single.

Lip syncing to 'thank u, next' by Ariana Grande, Harrison simply captioned the videos, 'thank you, next,' and added the lyrics to the video which include, 'I'm so f--king grateful for my ex.'

As always the comments section is a riot with people weighing in on the rumoured break up, one person wrote, 'I refuse to be a child of a divorce💔🥹,' with another adding, 'Lauren [Wood], this is NOT a sign.'

For real thought we hope Lauren Wood stays away and out of this drama as we can predict that some messiness it set to ensue.

Harrison's social media post comes just a few hours after it was reported that he and Belle have gone their separate ways after secretly splitting.

'Belle and Harrison have had a fun time outside the villa but ultimately they knew it wasn’t going to work long-term so have called it a day,' a source told The Sun.

'They never made it official so there’s no bad blood,' the source added.

To be honesty we imagine Belle is a tad pre-occupied with the whole Scott van-der Sluis/dentist/Whitney Adebayo/secret phone drama to be paying attention to Harrison's TikTok's.

Daring to bare in sheer silver

Never afraid to court a little controversy when it comes to her sartorial choices, this was THE most-talked about dress of 2025. Perhaps her most daring look to date, Sydney Sweeney went all out, quite literally, at the Variety Power of Women Event in October; wearing a floor length sheer silver gown which managed to drape in all of the right places. At the time the gorgeous dress hit headlines globally and thanks to the buzz around a potential Oscars nomination at the time, any censored images of her assets were fittingly covered with trophy emojis.

Lady in Red

Just days after Valentine’s Day in 2024 Sydney opted to show us exactly why her grandmother had praised the Euphoria star as having ‘the best tits in Hollywood’ when she wore an eye-popping red number. Accessorising the plunging scarlet dress with loose waves and a smoky eye, Sydney proved she’s more than capable of pulling off the A-list vibe, whilst also making the statement that she is very much not afraid to flaunt her figure.

Bad bridesmaid

Ditching the boxing gloves she donned for her leading role in boxing biopic, Christy, Sydney opted to embrace a more traditional style in a tight, ribbed cream corset with a soft velvet trail when attending a special screening of the movie in Toronto. We do hope she was able to sit down though...

The Lady is a vamp

Opting to wear a classical LRD once again, Sydney appeared to be auditioning for the likes of erotic period drama Bridgerton in a breath-taking corseted number that veered on just the right side of elegant. Recently revealing that she ‘loves playing dress up’, Sydney revealed how her team brainstormed a ‘moodboard for each of these looks. And if this isn’t a mood, we don’t know what is. Now where’s his hotness Viscount Bridgerton when you need him?

The names Sweeney… Sydney Sweeney

Delivering a masterclass in ‘How to tell me you’re hotly anticipated to be the next Bond girl without telling me…’ Sydney’s high-end and super-seductive look at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party is sure to have even 007 swooning. But for a girl who loves fixing up old cars and snow sports, Sydney has revealed she might be eyeing up a new role – playing the secret agent herself. Addressing the rumours, she said, ‘Depends on the script. I think I’d have more fun as James Bond.’

All butt-oned up

Another Oscars party look, but this time around Sydney chose to take inspiration from one of celebrity’s most iconic dresses of all time – Elizabeth Hurley’s now infamous ‘staple dress’; an LBD reworked with a household staple that became iconic overnight. In this version, Sydney opted for diamonte buttons tactfully placed to for the gown’s thigh-split to reveal just enough for a high fashion event.

Silver screen siren

Sydney isn’t one to shy away from ruffling a few feathers and last year she upped the style ante when she walked the red carpet for the LA premiere of her erotic thriller, The Housemaid. So much so, that the bridal white 1950s inspired look led to fans labelling her the ‘modern day Marilyn Monroe’ for her likeness to the silver screen icon, who famously posed in a similar dress.

Back-to-the-future

Before becoming a blonde bombshell, Sydney showed she can pull off brunette just as well when she rocked GQ magazine’s red carpet in one of bravest looks to date. Fully embracing her darker side, Sydney appeared to go all out rock chic with winged eyeliner and black nails, before embracing an out-of-this-world metallic corset, complete with sculpted nipples. We’re not entirely sure what her stylist’s mood board looked like for this one, but we are sure that they’ll be a queue of fans wanting to fall into this particular matrix.

We can only imagine that on a show like Made in Chelsea, there are a few castmates you absolutely dread filming with. After all, half the fun of reality TV is the drama – for viewers, anyway. For the people actually living through the chaos? Probably not quite as entertaining.

Just recently Chuggs Wallis revealed to us that Sam Prince can be a bit of a 'sh*t stirrer' and we know there's no love lost between those two; they've never been besties and probably never will be. There is also no denying that newcomer Elys Hutchinson hasn't exactly got on the right side of Livvy Barker or Zeyno Taylan.

But what about Jules Pollard? Other than admitting she wasn't a fan of Beks Collins - and we feel that was more to do with her dating her big bro, Phil Pollard, than anything else, she seems at ease with all her co-stars.

When she dropped by heat Towers, along with Chuggs and Kit Paterson, we asked who Jules' least favourite person to film with was and the TEA.

'I think for me,' she began before adding, 'he's obviously not my least favorite person to film with because obviously he's a family member so I don't want to stoop low, but I never know what is going to come out of my brother's mouth.'

You and us both, Jules.

Philip is the latest person to join Made in Chelsea and he sure likes to throw around some wild accusations. Last episode he was claiming Chuggs fancied Jules, who happens to be dating Chuggs' best mate, Tristan Phipps.

'When I'm filming with him I'm in fight or flight mode because I'm like "what are you going to say?"' she confessed, much to the delight of Chuggs.

'What trouble are you going to get us in this time?' Jules went on, 'so he's not my least favorite person to film with but definitely sometimes I'm on edge,' she admitted.

Both Chuggs and Kit offered some mini giggles at Jules picking her sibling for such a question, but Chuggs did understand where Jules was coming from, at least.

'The most stressed,' he added.

'Yeah,' Jules agreed, 'stressed.'

Well, Jules definitely got her own back on the most recent episode of Made in Chelsea, as she invited their mum to meet the girl Phil was dating, and gave neither Phil nor Georgia (the girl in question) a heads up...

Speculation over Kanye West’s ‘controlling’ behaviour over his wife Bianca Censori has been swirling for the entirety of their three year marriage, and it seems the rapper is doing nothing to dispel the rumours.

Launching his new album, titled 'Bully', at a series of listening parties globally after having been banned from all streaming platforms, the lyrics for one of Kanye’s new tracks, ‘Highs and Lows’ appears to document the ups and downs of their rocky romance.

He raps, ‘Highs and lows, I put you through a lot, I know/ Highs and lows. Still, you never let me go/ You said I love you and I love you back. Before I break your heart, I’ll have a heart attack/ We separated, but we made it back. And we gon’ stay attached ‘til we fade to black.’

It’s hardly Romeo and Juliet material, but the lyrics appear to be proof that Bianca is sticking by her husband; a bombshell we’re told has landed badly with Kanye’s ex-wife, Kim Kardshian, 45, who a source says believes Bianca is ‘deluding herself’ that Kanye will change.

An insider says, ‘Kim feels a tremendous sympathy towards Bianca, she is one of the few people on earth who knows how horrific it is to be married to the man.

‘She actually talks with her quite a lot, mainly when they make arrangements for the kids, since Kanye refuses to have any words with Kim or her family, so Bianca has to play go-between or it winds up being an expensive back and forth process with the lawyers.

‘During those exchanges Kim’s come to realise that this girl is clearly in over her head and deluding herself that Kanye’s a good soul deep down who’ll one day snap back into being kind and reasonable.’

Since the beginning of their romance back in 2022, the dynamic between the couple has sparked near-global concern, with Kanye repeatedly being accused of attempting to exert ‘control’ over Bianca.

Kanye, 48, himself posted on social media last year, ‘I HAVE DOMINION OVER MY WIFE’ and claimed Bianca, 31, has to have his ‘approval’ over what she wears; further doubling down on the repulsive sentiment when he reposted a fan describing Bianca as ‘a subservient extension to her master’.

Now, in a shock move, we’re told Kim – who shares North, 12, Saint, 10, Chicago, eight, and Psalm, six, with the rapper - has reached out to Bianca to let her know the ‘door is always open ‘ for her should she want to leave the marriage to Kanye.

The insider says, ‘Kim’s been there, she gets it, but ultimately she ran out of sympathy for him years ago and it saddens her to see him dragging people into his sordid world and effectively brainwashing them.

‘She’s told Bianca that the door’s always open for her, and when this marriage does come crashing down it’ll be her total pleasure to help in any way she can.’

However, despite their reported split last April, following a tirade of vile social media posts by Kanye; through which he praised Hitler and appeared to condone domestic violence, his apology letter, published in the WSJ in January, appears to have swayed Bianca to stay – at least for now.

The insider says, ‘Bianca appreciates that Kim cares. She’s always very gracious whenever Kim tries to tell her she needs to break away, but most of the time she defends Kanye and insists it’s not nearly as terrible as people think.

‘She says there’s a side to Kanye that only she sees. She admits he’s made a lot of mistakes but she says that’s not who he is deep down. She believes he’s got a good heart and says he’s just in a lot of pain and she says as his wife it’s her duty to help him get better.’

Sadly, Bianca’s words also echo Kim’s own, with the KUWTK star getting seriously candid about their tumultuous relationship last August when she gave fans a glimpse into how she had been coping following the breakdown of her marriage to Kanye four years ago.

During a clip for KUWTK, Kim told her sister Kourtney, ‘I would always say how calm I am and that's my superpower. But my therapist felt like it’s a trauma response of me remaining calm in living a life that I always have to be in this fight or flight mode.’

For years Kim attempted to shield Kanye from public criticism, praising his creative genius and defending him publicly. In 2020, during Kanye’s ill-fated presidential campaign and during a difficult time in their marriage, Kim described him as a ‘brilliant but complicated man’.

She added… ‘Living with bipolar disorder does not diminish or invalidate his dreams and creative ideas, no matter how big or unobtainable they may feel to some. That is part of his genius and as we have all witnessed, many of his big dreams have come true.’

Now, the source says Bianca’s own words have hit close to home for Kim, who feels ‘terrible’ for Bianca, having experienced ‘the exact same hell’ during her own seven-year marriage to Kanye.

‘Kim recognizes that mindset because it’s exactly how she used to think. She remembers convincing herself that if she just supported him enough or loved him the right way, things would stabilize, and now she can see Bianca doing the same thing,’ the source says.

‘Kim isn’t judging her because she went through the exact same hell, she’s still haunted by all the years she wasted praying that Kanye would change, not to mention the humiliation she still feels when she thinks back to what she put up with.’

They add, ‘She feels terrible for Bianca because she knows how isolating it can be when you’re trapped in Kanye’s world. He knows exactly how to pull people in and make them feel like they’re the only one who truly gets him, and that’s what makes it so hard to break away.’

In an interview with Vanity Fair back in February, however, Bianca finally spoke out in her own words, after having been assumed for so long to have lived in the role of a fetishized plaything for her superstar husband.

The bombshell interview may have been intended to strike a chord with readers through its images of Bianca riding naked astride a black stallion, but its her words that have proved the most powerful take away.

Addressing everything from her barely-there wardrobe (an apparent ‘collaboration’ with Kanye) and the whole ‘blow-job on a boat scandal’ (she insists she was just resting on his lap), Bianca also didn’t hold back on celebrating her own ‘obvious obsession with nudity’.

But while it appeared to prove that Bianca is becoming increasingly empowered to use her own voice, the source says some within Kanye’s inner circle believe she is ‘using’ the rapper.

The insider says, ‘Not everyone feels as much sympathy for Bianca as Kim does, though. There is definitely a contingent of people in Kanye’s inner circle who are convinced she’s only using him for fame and money.'

Meanwhile, we’re told Kim is of the view that Bianca needs to land on her own two feet sooner rather than later if she ever stands a chance of leaving the marriage, should she want to.

They tell us, ‘Kim is always quick to defend her. She says it’s not something anyone can really understand until they’ve been there because Kanye can be the most charming person in the world when he wants to be, there’s a reason he became such a huge star.

‘She says the only reason she was finally able to leave is because she had her family to help her and she had her own career to fall back on. But Bianca doesn’t have any of that; she’s totally reliant on him for everything. Kim feels terrible for her and wishes there was some way she could help but until Bianca is ready her hands are tied.’

Springtime has officially arrived in the UK and for royal watchers,  the countdown to summer will also mean listening out for any updates on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s much speculated return trip back to England.

It’s been six months since Harry’s ground breaking visit to see his father King Charles in September; with the meeting – the first in 19 months – believed to have marked a monumental step towards forgiveness and a potential royal reconciliation in the coming months.

However, we’re told there remains one ‘huge battle’ to face ahead of any future father-and-son reunion, as a source reveals how Harry’s older brother and heir to the throne, Prince William, is adamant that he ‘won’t hear of it’.

An insider says, ‘Charles is at the point where he wants to forgive Harry and find a path forward but William simply won’t hear of it, no matter what his father says.

‘It’s becoming a huge battle because William has a ton of influence behind the scenes and the fact is that many people within The Firm agree that Harry and Meghan are poison so Charles doesn’t have a lot of support for bringing them back in.’

Another pressing issue is also the current review of Harry’s security in the UK, after it was agreed in December that the Home Office would relook at whether Harry, 41, should automatically receive full police protection when he visits.

However, a British newspaper reported earlier this month how civil servants from the Home Office, the Cabinet Office and the Foreign Office are believed to be against the proposal due to fears of a political backlash during a cost of living crisis.

Meanwhile, it was reported that the police and security chiefs are of the consensus that he ‘absolutely must have it’ due to the on-going fears over his safety, which Harry’s team expressed during legal proceedings last year.

Now, with the result of the review, which had been expected any day now, appearing to be up in arms, the insider claims William, 43, feels Harry is getting ‘what he deserves’; a viewpoint that we’re told has left him at loggerheads with ‘furious’ Charles.

The insider says, ‘Harry’s not gotten his security approved yet and it’s looking very likely that it will be shot down because politically it’s not being viewed as a move that would go over well with the public, which of course has pleased William to no end. He’s saying his brother is getting exactly what he deserves.

‘Charles is on the other side of things, trying to convince key people to push it through but he’s getting a lot of resistance and he’s convinced it’s down to William meddling. He’s furious and demanding that William back down but he’s only digging in his heels more, they’re at a complete standoff and the time is running out.’

Meanwhile, the insider says that as the monarchy continue to face one of their darkest times to date following the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor in February, the firm’s ‘peace maker’ Kate Middleton has also been forced to step in and help William to see the positives of making amends with his estranged brother.

We’re told, ‘Charles isn’t the only one trying to get William to soften on this, Kate has been doing everything she can to help change his stance, but it’s of no use. William is still livid and says even if he wanted to forgive his brother, letting him in would send the wrong message to the public.

‘Not that he’s the least bit tempted to anyway, he still feels completely betrayed and has no interest in pretending everything is fine just for appearances. That’s why he’s going against his father’s wishes; he just can’t stand by and let his brother manipulate things all over again.’

It has already been widely speculated that Charles, 77, and William feel very differently about Harry’s future role within the monarchy, with a source previously telling us that William is  ‘tired’ of having to constantly remind their inner circle of the havoc that Harry has wreaked on the monarchy.

A source said last year, ‘He’s sick and tired of reminding people that they’ve inflicted so much grief and stress on the family, his late grandparents included, and the fact Harry’s doubled down so many times on his brutal stance has been equally infuriating.’

Now we’re told that William also feels that it his duty to protect not only the monarchy, but his father, too, as Charles continues to receive treatment for an undisclosed type of cancer.

The insider says, ‘He feels strongly that Harry is taking advantage of the King’s weakened state and is adamant that if Charles wasn’t sick with cancer he’d never fall for this.

‘William says it’s his duty to protect the Crown and his father but of course Charles doesn’t see it that way. He’s livid that William would go against him like this to the point where he’s angrier with him than he is with Harry right now.’

Having reportedly attempted to play peacemaker; Harry himself claimed in his 2023 memoir, Spare, how Charles had previously begged them, ‘Please, boys. Don't make my final years a misery.’

And while he continues to play monarch in the middle between his two warring sons, the insider says Charles could now be erring toward granting Harry’s reported wish to return to Sandringham, the Norfolk estate where he spent many happy holidays as a child, this summer

‘Ironically, William’s stubbornness is actually pushing Charles closer to Harry and making it easier for him to work his way back in. Harry is certainly hoping that’s the case,’ the source says.

‘It’s no secret he’d love to meet up with Charles somewhere private like Sandringham, where they can actually sit down and talk things through without the usual pressure. He’s already apologised to Charles but he wants to do whatever it takes to put this ugliness behind them.

They add, 'He says he’s willing to make amends with William as well, but at this point William won’t even open an email from him, let alone pick up the phone to have a chat, so it’s hard to imagine that happening any time soon.'

She used to be the queen of primetime TV, but in the past few years, Holly Willoughby’s golden touch appears to have dulled. No longer the go-to girl for ITV, she’s been left floundering after a series of career duds, and – while she’s continued to put on a brave face – we’re told it’s been causing serious panic behind the scenes.

Now, as she quietly prepares to make her next big career move – producing and presenting her own digital daytime show called Together – we’re told the star is anxious.

According to insiders, Holly, 45, is facing an uphill battle after so many false starts. And while she used to have TV bosses at her beck and call, she knows there’s no guarantee she’ll be able to reclaim her former glory.

‘Holly is having a total meltdown. She’s trying to plan her new chat show and she just can’t seem to book the calibre of guests that she needs to bring in the views,’ says a source close to the mum of three, who’s reportedly been working on the new online format with her producer husband, Dan Baldwin.

The insider continues, ‘Holly feels like it’s a total failure before the first episode’s even gone out. She’s panicking that people have fallen out of love with her, and that perhaps it’s time to move on. She just wants things to go back to how they were before it all went so horribly wrong, but that’s not how it works – times and tastes change.’

Having been a near constant on TV screens for nearly two decades as co-presenter of This Morning, the cracks first appeared in 2022, after Holly and her longtime co-host Phillip Schofield were accused of skipping the queue to see the late queen lying in state, which they both denied.

Things got worse in 2023, after Phil was forced to resign, following his affair with a much younger colleague. Holly continued to present This Morning with guest hosts, but that October, she discovered she was the target of a horrific kidnap and murder plot. Understandably, she decided to take a step back from the spotlight. Her would-be attacker Gavin Plumb was sentenced to life with a minimum of 15 years in 2024.

Holly returned to work that January to present ITV staple Dancing On Ice and a reboot of You Bet!, but both shows were subsequently axed. Further rubbing salt into the wounds, Holly’s attempts to step outside of her comfort zone, hosting the Netflix series Celebrity Bear Hunt alongside Bear Grylls – also fell flat, as the show was cancelled after just one season.

Now, we’re told, Holly’s feeling insecure and keen to prove she can still come up with the TV goods. However, the entertainment landscape is looking markedly different, and our insider says that, while Holly understands this, she can’t help pining for the good old days. ‘Fame can be fickle,’ our source says.

‘One minute you’re in the nation’s favourite and the next you’re facing negative headlines and the end of your career. Holly has been struggling. She wanted someone to blame for her predicament, but this is just how it is. She’s now accepted that, whatever she does next, she may never be as popular as she was before, but she needs to move forward.’

With that in mind, we’re told Holly is focusing on putting her loved ones first – as seen last week, when she shared pictures from a sponsored trip to Disneyland Paris with pal Emma Bunton and their families. Our source says, ‘Holly’s not about to disappear, but she’s going to focus on what makes her happy.’

Bet that’s not a headline you thought you’d be reading in 2026, eh? Well, buckle up, because when former Love Island and current Made in Chelsea star Chuggs Wallis swung by heat Towers for a chat recently, he spilled some major tea – and then some.

Chuggs was joined by his MIC co-stars, Kit Paterson and Jules Pollard, where they chatted all things reality TV. Jules revealed the REAL reason behind her bestie Jazz Saunders' split from Demi Simswith Chuggs calling out his 'sh*t-stirring co-star.' But that's not all, folks.

Obviously, we had to ask Chuggs who he thought from Love Island would fit beautifully into the world of MIC because we can dream, okay?

Side note: we insisted that Casey O'Gorman was NOT an option.

'I definitely would have to say Ekin [Cülcüloğlu]; I think she is a hell of a personality,' he declared, 'and I think she'd have a lot of fun.'

'I also think she'd really enjoy putting the boys in their places,' he added.

Funnily enough, Ekin is actually pals with Lily Ludovici-Gray who used to be on Made in Chelsea before she met Billy Precup, left London for Bali, had a baby, never to be seen on the streets of Kings Road ever again. But, at one stage there were rumours Ekin may well appear on the reality TV show, so perhaps Chuggs is on to something.

'From a boy front, my good friend Liam Reardon,' Chuggs revealed, 'he's just the biggest sweetheart.'

'I reckon the girls would flock all over him,' he added.

Erm yeah, they would Chuggs, have you SEEN Liam Reardon? That being said, doesn't Liam have a girlfriend? We're not sure she'd been too impressed with the girlies 'flocking' to him.

'I think he'd offer, like, a really different thing for the viewers, as well,' Chuggs went on, 'the fact he is from Wales, a little bit outside of London, just give them a little bit of spice.'

WATCH : He's starred on both TV shows but what is the difference between Made in Chelsea and Love Island? Chuggs spills the tea

Emily Vierke is a digital writer who has dabbled in the world of celeb, beauty and fashion. She knows all the goss on the cast of Made in Chelsea, is a BIG Lauren Sintès and is forever obsessed with the queen of one-liners, Lucy "why is everyone getting up in my grill?" Watson. Long may she reign.

Ever since Married At First Sight UK finished back in December, we've been patiently waiting for the Australian version to start and it's finally here.

It's arguably the most chaotic reality show to air in the UK because year after year, the Aussie producers somehow manage to cast the most eclectic group of wild individuals who are supposedly looking for love but really it's the drama they're after.

So now that MAFS Australia 2026 has started, here's your need to know on the experts and the cast (who before the series even began, had been described as 'toxic')...

The MAFS Australia cast

Rebecca Zukowski

Age: 51 years old

Job: leasing manager

Where she's from: Victoria

Judging by his Instagram, Luke is an outdoorsy fella who enjoys hiking and camping. He's also a farmer and while he previously was a city boy, he took over his dad's cattle property after he passed away.

Where she's from: South Australia

Instagram: @alissafay_

TikTok star Alissa Fay, who recently split from ex Will Giles, doesn't believe in a 'perfect man' but she told MAFS bosses that she's ready to commit to someone who shares her ambition, communicates with honesty, builds trust and wants the same future she does. She's married to David.

Scott McCristal

Age: 33 years old

Job: business owner

Where he's from: Queensland

Instagram: @scott_mccristal

No stranger to reality TV, Scott has already starred in THREE TV shows – Blind Date, Holey Moley, and Million Dollar Island. Back in 2018, he admitted that he just wants 'fame', which doesn't exactly give us high hopes for him and Gia.

Steven Danyluk

Age: 34 years old

Job: marine technician

Where he's from: New South Wales

Instagram: @steviestixx

Steven has been described as a 'fun loving guy who enjoys adventure' and throughout his 20s he chased the dream of becoming a famous rock star. Nowadays though, he runs his own company fixing boats. Steven is married to Rachel.

Age: 27 years old

Job: model

Where she's from: Queensland

Instagram: @brookcrompton_

Model and influencer Brook has been cheated on by almost every guy she's ever dated but put her faith into the MAFS experts to hopefully find her a trustworthy, tall, tanned and loyal man. She was married to Chris and it quickly became clear they weren't going to last, especially following THAT dinner party.

David Momoh

Age: 31 years old

Job: e-commerce product manager

Where he's from: Queensland

Instagram: @davidxmomoh

David seems to be a busy bee; he works as an e-commerce product manager and manages other side hustles. Plus he was a rapper, see? Busy bee. He was hoping his wife on MAFS would either live with faith or accept his faith and Alissa certainly does as she's a Christian too.

Gia Fleur

Age: 35 years old

Job: disability support worker

Where she's from: Victoria

Instagram: @giafleurrr

Influencer Gia - who has been described as a 'long-time relationship girl' - was previously married to the father of her child. Since their split, Gia felt she was attracting the wrong kind of men so was hoping the MAFS experts will help her find a husband in the form of Scott.

Job: account manager

Where she's from: South Australia

Instagram:

Adelaide-based Rebecca (or Bec as her pals call her) told MAFS bosses that her proudest achievement was walking away from her ex fiancé - just four months before the wedding because 'something wasn't right'. She was hoping her MAFS hubby would be a tall man with tattoos, a beard and who is loving and has banter - and she's found that in Danny.

Filip Gregov

Age: 37 years old

Job: carpenter

Where he's from: Victoria

Instagram: @filipgregov

Filip runs Gregov Fit, a program that is 'not motivation but a system for men who want control,' he is also a public speaker. On MAFS he's looking for a traditional relationship where he can be a provider and his wife can be the carer and mum - and he's found that in Stella.

Julia is sure to be no stranger to the cameras as she studied journalism and worked as an entertainment correspondent in London.

Unfortunately that didn't happen and she 'unconsciously uncoupled' with Grayson before the third commitment ceremony.

Chris Nield

Age: 31 years old

Job: construction supervisor

Where he's from: Victoria

Instagram: @chrisnield__

As we said at the beginning, the trailer for series 13 looked wild and that's mainly because self-described 'boy's boy' Chris can be seen saying, 'If I turn around and see a short, overweight, blonde girl, I'm gone.' He was sceptical of the experiment but still went on the show and unfortunately his relationship with Brook didn't work out.

Mel Akbay

Age: 28 years old

Job: public servant

Where she's from: New South Wales

Instagram: @mellpoppy

Sydney-based Melissa (aka Mel) has been single for the past six years and was hoping the experts would help her get her fairytale ending with a man who wants to settle down.

Grayson McIvor

Age: 34 years old

Job: company director

Where he's from: Queensland

Instagram: @grayson_mcivor

Grayon was hoping to follow in the footsteps as his best pal Johnny Balbuziente who met the love of his life Kerry Knight on MAFS Australia season eight. Grayson is super close to his family and was hoping to find a woman who has strong family values too but alas, it didn't work out with Julia.

Rachel Gilmore

Age: 35 years old

Job: team leader

Where she's from: Victoria

Instagram: @rachlea_x

Rachel's been described by MAFS bosses as 'warm, vibrant and bubbly'. She hasn't been in a serious relationship for 14 years - just lots of situationships - but she was hoping the MAFS experiment would lead her to a good man she can be herself around. The experts paired her with Steven.

Where he's from: Victoria

Steve is a silver fox with four daughters and due to his job - flipping pubs and hospitality venues - he's got the freedom to run his own schedule.

Unfortunately it didn't work out with Rebecca and they called it quits during the second commitment ceremony.

Job: beauty technician

Where she's from: New South Wales

Job: model

Where he's from: New South Wales

Juliette Chae

Job: Co-founder and coach

Where he's from: New South Wales

One of the first Intruders who was leaked was Chris who runs fitness brand Body Skin Soul and is set to become a dad via surrogacy. The experts paired him with Sam.

Tyson Gordon

Age: 30 years old

Job: property investor

Where he's from: Queensland

Instagram: @tysongordonn

There's always one controversial groom on MAFS this year it's definitely Tyson thanks to his anti-woke views and wanting to marry someone 'submissive'. Experts paired him with Steph Marshall.

Steph Marshall

Age: 32 years old

Job: real estate agent

Where she's from: Queensland

Instagram: @stephaniekatemarshall

Another intruder bride on series 13 is Steph who has been paired with Tyson. While at first it seemed they'd be a well suited coupled because neither of them wanted to be coupled to someone 'woke', it soon became clear that they're very different.

Who left MAFS Australia 2026?

It has been reported that a bride and groom were 'removed' from the show due to off-screen antics.

Ankita Karungalekar has since spoken out about the drama, furious that she had to leave and wasn't re-matched with someone else.

'I deserve an opportunity to come back on the show because I have nothing to do with his past... especially being the only diverse girl on the show,' Ankita told Chattr.

Ankita Karungalekar

Ankita is a sports TV presenter and was Miss India Australia runner-up.

Micah Lomu

Finance broker Micah Lomu was reportedly married to Anikita but we doubt it worked out because she wanted to go back on the show.

What's new on MAFS Australia 2026?

As well as the weddings, honeymoons, commitment ceremonies and wild dinner parties, MAFS series 13 introduced revelations week for the first time. Not only that, but we'll see the return of final test week that will challenge and either make or break the couples.

Who are the MAFS Australia experts?

The MAFS Australia relationship experts for series 13 are John Aiken, Mel Schilling and sexologist Alessandra Rampolla. Mel sadly passed away in March 2026.

WATCH: MAFS UK's Matt and Shona reveal whether their cast members create drama for the cameras

What’s better than settling down in front of the telly after a long, tiring day at work? Settling down in front of Gogglebox and watching a bunch of random people up and down the country do the exact same thing. Obviously. It's like some sort of telly inception and we can't get enough of it.

We're still treated to most of the familiar faces we've grown weirdly close to (despite never actually meeting) as well as a few newbies we always look forward to spending some virtual veg out time with.

There have been many families come and go from the Gogglebox sofas, but here are the families and couples who currently appear on the show...

On her return to the show, she opened up about the condition as she said, 'I mean, I've had to relearn to do a couple of things since this Bell's palsy.

WATCH: Olivia Attwood teases what's ahead for her podcast and it sounds SO good 🤩

She’s been single since her split from husband Eamonn Holmes almost two years ago, but Ruth Langsford has been thriving. She’s holidayed with friends, found strength through therapy, and released book Feeling Fabulous, opening up about her heartbreak and the ups and downs she’s faced.

And after admitting she wants to find love the old‑fashioned way, away from dating apps, we’re told Ruth, 66 – who shares son Jack, 24, with Eamonn, also 66 – is hoping this summer could bring her a new romance.

Spoilers. Scandals. Showbiz chaos. Click here to add heat to your Google preferences and stay ahead of the drama.

‘Ruth had the best birthday abroad this year. It’s put a spring in her step and given her more confidence to travel more and meet someone,’ says our insider.

‘She’s confessed to pals she wants to meet a man on holiday, because she really doesn’t want to have to rely on dating apps and would much rather meet someone organically. She also feels that everyone is a bit more relaxed when they’re on vacation, so it’s the perfect setting for romance.’

The source continues, ‘It's obviously been an incredibly tough time for her, but after a lot of therapy and soul-searching, she feels she’s turned a corner. It's been a massive adjustment to find herself single again after 27 years with Eamonn, and she wants to reward herself with more travel opportunities.’

The broadcaster looked radiant in the South of France last month as she celebrated her birthday with close pal Lizzie Cundy. Taking to Instagram in black sunglasses, a cream blazer, and a wine in hand, she captioned her post, ‘So this is 66,’ adding, ‘Spending my birthday with friends in the sunshine.’ She was inundated with well wishes, with one fan writing, ‘Enjoying your book, almost finished after a few hours. Keep being your wonderful self… elegant, classy, humble and down to earth. You are amazing.’

Ruth’s marriage to Eamonn broke down in May 2024, after 14 years of marriage and 27 years together. She later admitted she’d been blindsided, describing the abrupt end to what she believed was a happy marriage as  ‘a huge shock’, and saying, ‘I was broken. Broken heart. Broken dreams.’

Within months of the split, Eamonn was dating counsellor Katie Alexander, 44. Ruth, meanwhile, turned to therapy, calling it ‘the best thing I’ve ever done’. Now embracing her fresh start, she recently said ‘never say never’ to having another relationship, adding, ‘Right now, I'm perfectly happy. I've got a full life and great friends and lots of work. I've said I'm going forward with an open mind and an open heart.’

Our source says, ‘She’s desperate to move on from the Eamonn drama and thinks the best way to do it is by meeting someone she has a connection with. She’s been going on a few dates here and there, but would prefer for the setting to be somewhere  under the sun. Ruth has said she would love to do a girls’ trip with the likes of Lizzie and Amanda Holden, as well as her other close female friends. She loves the idea of going away with a group of women who bring out the best in her, and will also be there to watch her back.

‘She’s been looking at luxury resorts in Barbados that cater to singles rather than places for couples. Ruth’s ideal date would be someone who is financially stable and not put off by the fact she is in the public eye. She’s not that bothered by age as long as they’re confident and a gentleman. At this stage, it’s not about revenge, either – she wants Eamonn to be in the past.

‘This is about doing what’s best for her, living her best life with a man of her dreams – and her best friends supporting her all the way.’

WATCH: The Traitors' Stephen reveals his Celebrity Traitors wish list

Back in 2018, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a huge splash in Australia during their royal tour. Newlyweds at the time and riding on the momentum that Meghan had brought about a great change for the centuries-old monarchy, the duo were fast welcomed as the ultimate sweethearts of the Commonwealth of Nations.

Now almost eight years on, the Sussexes are preparing to return to the country later this month, and we’re told that Meghan in particular is determined once again to take Australia by storm, as a source shares her hopes of securing her status as the ‘queen of hearts down under’ amidst growing criticism of the monarchy.

An insider says, ‘It’s no secret that a lot of people in Australia aren’t exactly fans of the Royal Family, just look at how much traction the anti-monarchist movement has over there. She’s convinced that they can tap into that sentiment and position themselves as the modern alternative to the royal family.

‘Meghan is taking that as a massive green light. In her view, that automatically means people will be far more receptive to her and Harry than they are in England. She really feels she can be the new queen of hearts down under.’

It is of course the perfect fit, given that the Queen of Hearts had an obsession with strawberry tarts. And while Meghan may have progressed to trifles in a champagne coupe, as shown in her Netflix festive special, the unwavering staple ingredient remains the same – jam!

And after it was reported last week that Meghan has already applied to trademark her brand name, As Ever, in Australia, the source says the domestic Duchess hopes that if this latest trip sees her popularity down under soar for a second time, then there could be some ‘serious’ money to be made by launching in Australia.

We’re told, ‘She says there’s a huge market to tap into in Australia with serious money to be made and she’s ready to throw herself into it. This little tour they’re going on is the first step; she’s saying it’s a chance to test the waters and she’s got full confidence that it will be a massive success.

‘She’s already secured a bunch of trademarks so that she can launch her products and she’s very excited about the potential. Harry is all for it because he’s always felt really welcomed in Australia. His mother is still so beloved there and he and Meghan are both confident that good will is going to transfer to them.’

Their trip, marking their fourth quasi-royal tour, comes just weeks after Meghan’s brand parted ways with Netflix, with the streaming giant’s top boss, Ted Sarandos, unfollowing Meghan and As Ever on social media. The humiliating blow was just the latest in long line of hurdles that have faced the Sussexes over the past few months.

It’s been five and a half years since Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41, signed on the dotted line with Netflix; a deal that marked the start of their post-royal life and Harry’s first tentative steps into Hollywood.

At an estimated $100 million, it was also the incentive the duo needed to go on to spill the beans on their 2020 departure from the Royal Family in their 2022 docu-series, Harry & Meghan, which became Netflix’s highest documentary debut ever. However, it was soon clear the duo had become victims of their own success having exhausted  all of their grievances against the royals through the series, their 2021 interview with Oprah and Harry’s 2023 memoir, Spare.

And while it was announced earlier this month that the couple would be co-producing a new polo drama, other promised projects, including their adaptation of the Carley Fortune novel, ‘Meet Me at the Lake’, have so far not materialised.

Meanwhile, Meghan’s first solo cooking show, With Love, Meghan, saw Netflix partner with As Ever and promote the brand throughout the show. But after having signed a lesser First Look deal with the streaming giant in August; the show has not been commissioned for a third series, with viewers complaining that Meghan's debut was ‘out of touch’, ‘curated’ and ‘narcissistic’.

Meanwhile, they have built a great track record in Australia in the past, so it’s understandable that we’re told how Meghan – whose main event will see her speaking at a £2,000-a-ticket women’s event, dubbed Meg-stock at a luxury hotel in Sydney –sees this visit as the ultimate comeback.

The insider says, ‘Meghan’s looking at Australia as a chance to start again, she’s convinced it’s going to allow them to totally reset the narrative. She says she’s already had so much positive feedback since they announced their trip and that’s really fuelled her confidence that they’re going to be welcomed in a big way.

‘Harry insists she was so well-received that it made other members of the royal family feel threatened. Whether that’s true or not, it’s certainly what he and Meghan believe and they are pointing to it as proof that they can go back and recreate that same kind of magic, only this time on their own terms.’

But questions have been raised over Meghan’s revenge plan against the royals, with the former actress previously being called ‘delusional’, even gaining the media moniker of ‘the Duchess of delusion’ over her apparently self- inflated status and ego.

Just last week, a spokesperson for Harry and Meghan was forced to speak out after more than 35,000 people signed a petition demanding no taxpayers' money be spent on their visit to Australia – a movement that has been seen as proof that the Sussexes won’t be as well received this time around.

However, the source says the couple are already ploughing ahead with plans to bring along their children Archie, six, and Lilibet, four, should their upcoming trip prove to be the success they hope it will be.

The insider says, ‘They’re not bringing the kids with them because it’s going to be a relatively short trip, but it’s just the beginning, if things go as well as they hope the plan is to bring the kids over next. Archie and Lili are both crazy about animals and would love to see kangaroos and koalas in their natural habitat so it’s absolutely going to happen at some point, it’s just a matter of when.’

In fact, we’re told that as they face increasing pressures in the US and with no sign of reconciliation with the Royal Family appearing to be on the cards right now, Harry and Meghan are even considering purchasing a property in Australia to really enable them to put some roots down there.

The source says, There have even been some discussions about buying a property and making Australia a second home. They aren’t looking to leave America full time but it’s no secret they’re feeling pretty disillusioned by Hollywood right now. The idea of being able to run away to Australia is appealing and would make sense from a business perspective as well because it’s hard to conquer a market from the other side of the world.

‘But before any of that happens, this trip really needs to land and, as much as she's projecting supreme confidence; there are absolutely no guarantees that she’s going to get the same sort of love that she got when she was there in 2018.’

WATCH: Married At First Sight UK's Amy Kenyon spills the tea on her ex Luke Debono as she stars on Celebrity Ex on the Beach

Anybody who has been on social media over the weekend will have seen THOSE photos of the latest Love Island couple: Samie Elishi and Tyrique Hyde, and if you haven't seen them, go check out right now – the duos' Instagram accounts because visual aids are most certainly required.

ICYMI, Samie won All Stars alongside Ciaran Davies, but within three weeks she had called off the romance and a week later was on holiday with Tyrique.

Although Ciaran hasn't spoken out since the photos of Ty and Samie hit Instagram, he did previously shade his ex declaring she was 'trying to ruin' him and he was not happy about how he was being 'portrayed.'

Well, Ciaran might not have much to say at the moment, but we all know how much Tyrique loves to chat and the Love Island 2023 finalist recently opened up to Joe Bagg on the Not My Bagg podcast...

'I don't even know Ciaran, I don't know him, I've never even met him. We follow each other on Instagram but that's all,' Ty explained, 'we just went on the same show, different seasons. In my head, I don't really owe nothing to him, in that sense.'

'At the same time, I don't want to really disrespect him which I will talk about as we go on,' he admitted.

Fans are torn about what is going down between the three Islanders but there is no denying that the majority of people - whether they like Samie and Ty as a couple or not - feel sorry for Ciaran. It turns out that despite the energy he might be giving off, Tyrique gets it.

'I can understand why everyone is angry at me for being disrespectful,' he admitted, 'I will put my hands up and say, "my bad" there is things I have said on my stream, or done on my stream that I shouldn't have done.'

Ironically, Ty revealed all of this during a livestream with Joe; the whole interview will be released tonight (Tuesday 7 April at 9pm).

'It's immature, it's wrong really,' he confessed. 'If I was Ciaran and this was happening to me I would also feel a way.'

Did we ever think we’d see the day Tyrique actually admitted he’s been a bit of a bad boy? We bet Ella Thomas is rolling her eyes right now.

WATCH : He might be starring on Celebrity Ex on the Beach at the minute but that doesn't mean Curtis Pritchard has forgotten his fight with Messy Mitch 👀

Emily Vierke is a digital writer who has dabbled in the world of celeb, beauty and fashion. She enjoys stalking Love Island girlies Indiyah Polack and Matilda Draper for outfit inspo nearly as much as she enjoys watching clips of Yasmin Pettet being a Love Island icon.

Someone should honestly make a documentary - NO, a full-blown ITV drama - about the cast of Love Island All Stars 2026 and everything that’s gone down in the two months since they left the villa, because… what the actual f**k?

Winners Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies split after just three weeks (and she ran off with Tyrique Hyde), besties Scott van-der-Sluis and Whitney Adebayo seem to be on the outs, and now a US bombshell has apparently been seeing 'multiple women' behind an OG’s back.

Meanwhile, Sean Stone and Lucinda Strafford are basically just skipping around Disneyland Paris filming TikToks together – who would’ve thought? We’ll need that in the movie version for some light relief.

In case you missed it, Love Island 2025's Helena Ford took to Snapchat over the bank holiday weekend to tell the world that she and Love Island USA star Carrington Rodriguez are no longer seeing one another – which we were genuinely gutted to hear after chatting to Helena about the relationship just a few weeks ago. She was beaming, optimistic and deserved a Love Island win after Harry Cooksley.

When asked whether she and Carrington were still together during a Snapchat Q&A, Helena said, 'Can confirm no x.'

Not exactly context-heavy, but around the same time as Helena's news, it emerged that Carrington - who’s temporarily relocated to London following his newfound UK fame - has been on at least one date with a girl who isn’t Helena, suggesting a possible crossover period. There are also whispers that he invited a group of women back to his London Airbnb recently, according to The Sun.

A source told the publication, 'Carrington and Helena have never said they’re locked off or closed off, but him seeing other women like this will raise eyebrows.

'Rumours have been rife that the pair split after crucial clues in content from Paris.'

Several All Stars headed to Paris last week for a boujie few days together and while Helena and Carrington were technically still seeing each other at the time, Carrington only briefly featured in the content we were all stalking online.

While Helena has confirmed the romance is done and dusted, Carrington hasn’t spoken out either way – about Helena or any alleged 'other women'. And to be fair, none of us really know where they were in the relationship and what their rules were.

Helena and Carrington met on day 15 of All Stars 2026, when Helena was sent off to Villa USA. Although the pair didn’t immediately spark, once Carrington returned to the main villa, they tried to make a go of things.

Helena felt there still wasn’t enough of a connection and called it off – but then Carrington rocked up in that faux fur coat during the heart rate challenge, and suddenly Helena changed her mind. We get it.

Their romance went from strength to strength after that; however, on day 29 they received the fewest votes for favourite couple and were dumped from the villa.

She finally broke her silence about her split from husband Bradley Dack, following rumours about him being unfaithful and her moving on with Pete Wicks. But despite the heartache, Olivia Attwood is still hoping for her happy ending – and heat can reveal she’s been leaning on Pete through her troubles.

‘Olivia is so happy the truth about Bradley is out there – she feels she can breathe again and is free from the lies,’ an insider tells heat.

Following months of speculation about the reasons for the breakdown of their two-year marriage, Olivia, 34, took to Instagram Stories last week, where she posted a statement branding the situation ‘utterly humiliating’.

‘I have stood by Brad for the last 10 years during which he lied and cheated on me multiple times. The breakdown of our relationship is because of this,’ the Love Island star wrote, adding she felt like a ‘f**king idiot’.

Our insider says, ‘Olivia felt she needed to speak up. It was Pete who finally convinced her to do it. He’s been a light in the darkness for her. She lost sight of who she was until Pete helped her get some perspective,’ says our source. ‘It’s really taken their relationship to a deeper level.’

However, the source adds, she is also aware of Pete’s playboy reputation. We’re told, ‘Olivia demands respect and loyalty. Pete knows if there’s any hope of a future for them he needs to commit.’

News of Olivia and Bradley’s split broke in January, with insiders claiming there had been a ‘breach of trust’ on the footballer’s side. Both parties remained silent on the claims, until Olivia’s statement last week.

While footballer Brad, 32, is yet to officially speak out, he has jumped to his ex’s defence on social media. As fans discussed their split in the comments section of an Instagram post about Olivia’s statement, the footballer wrote, ‘You’ve got a lot of this wrong... just leave her alone.’

Olivia – who married Bradley in 2023 after a decade-long on-off romance – also confirmed in her bombshell statement that she ‘is dating’ following weeks of speculation about her close friendship with Pete. The duo have been good friends since both appearing on TOWIE in 2019, but after becoming the hosts of KISS’ Sunday Roast podcast last year, they have grown even closer.

Photographs emerged last summer of Pete, 36, and Liv looking very cosy aboard a yacht in Ibiza– and Liv admitted Brad was ‘furious’ about the snaps and had given her a ‘telling off’. Fast-forward to March, and a newly single Liv was photographed kissing Pete in a Soho bar, further fuelling rumours of a romance.

But while she may be trying to move on, another aspect of the marriage has come back to haunt her. Last week, it was reported the marriage wasn’t legally binding, despite it being the focus of an ITV reality series.

We’re told these rumours were the final straw for Olivia. ‘She’s only human,’ says our source. ‘When she saw those comments, she snapped. People don’t know the half of it – she needs support right now and Pete’s giving her that.’

The source continues, ‘She’s fully aware of his track record, but he’s been her rock – without him, she would be in a bad place. That’s not to say she wants people to feel sorry for her – she just wants people to realise there’s more to it than what’s out there.

‘Some people have even joked that she’s now free to marry Pete.’

It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly 50 years since John Travolta’s deep dimples and a mega-watt grin gave us chills in cult teen flick, Grease, back in 1978. And after celebrating his 72nd birthday in February, the A-list heartthrob remains one of Hollywood’s most swoon-worthy leading men.

And while he’s since moved on from his days as our OG teen crush Danny Zuko, switching up his leathers for slick suits in a series of action roles, including last year’s casino heist movie, High Rollers, we’re told how John now hopes to reignite some romance on-screen as a source shares his plans to film a rom-com in the near future.

An insider says, ‘John’s had such a long run in action and drama - that’s been his bread and butter. But the truth is he’s actually more of a rom-com guy, those are the movies he loves watching and he wants to try making one before it’s too late, so now the hunt is on for the right script and the right co-star.’

Of course there are plenty of talented actresses who could take on the role of John’s co-star; including Jennifer Aniston, Julia Roberts and Meg Ryan, but we’re told how those close to him are secretly hoping his team will be able bag one rom-com queen in particular, Miss Congeniality herself, Sandra Bullock.

While the duo are yet to star in a film together, Sandra, 61, and John have crossed paths several times over the years at a series of high profile events; most notably photographed laughing on-stage together at the 2004 Oscars [above].

And we’re told how those close to the Hollywood pair are ‘secretly hoping’ that if they were to embrace an on-screen romance, their friendly rapport could blossom into something more off-screen, too.

The insider says, ‘Most people on his team are pushing to pair him up with Sandra. She’s a sure bet when it comes to rom-coms that people actually want to watch and she and John get along great so there’s no concerns about whether they would work well together. They haven’t worked together before but they have a fantastic rapport and people think they’d work really well as an on-screen couple.

‘Of course, people in his world are also secretly hoping that something more might spark between them once they start working together and that something romantic could grow organically between them. Sandra and John have a natural chemistry.’

The source says pals close to both Sandra and John believe the two A-listers share so much common ground that they have ‘the potential to be a great couple’.

The source explains, ‘Sandra is one of the nicest people in Hollywood, she’s trustworthy and solid. They’re both also so family oriented with really solid values and they’ve got this shared experience of superstardom that not many people can relate to.

‘They’ve always gotten along well and they have a number of friends in common, including Nicole Kidman, so it’s not like this is totally out of left field. Not that either of them is going to rush into anything. That said, putting them together on screen for a rom-com could push them in that direction, and who knows what could happen then.’

Perhaps most poignantly, the pair have both experienced the devastating loss of loved ones, with John losing both his young son and his wife Kelly Preston, and Sandra grieving her own loss following the passing of her long-time partner, Brian Randall.

After tragically losing his oldest son Jett to a seizure when he was just 16, in 2009, just 11 years later in 2020, John said goodbye to his beloved wife of 19 years, actress Kelly, following her two-year battle with breast cancer.

And since Kelly’s passing, John has loyally devoted his time to quietly healing with their two younger children, Ella Bleu, 25, and Benjamin, 15 – describing their grief as a ‘personal and private journey’.

Meanwhile, Sandra and Brian, who had been together for eight years, had privately navigated Brian’s diagnosis with ALS in the three years leading up to his death, aged just 57.

Previously noting her choice not to marry again following her divorce from Jesse James in 2010, Sandra, who is mum to Louis, 15, and Laila, 11, said, ‘I found the love of my life. We share two beautiful children— three children, [Randall's] older daughter. It's the best thing ever…I don't need a paper to be a devoted partner and devoted mother. I don't need to be told to be ever present in the hardest of times. I don't need to be told to weather a storm with a good man.’

And the source says that for both John and Sandra, there will always remain a space in the hearts that can never be filled by another person, and that when or if they are both ready to date again, any new partner will need to be fully respecting of that.

The insider says, ‘They share the same painful history of losing their soul mates far too soon. That’s something that no one can really understand until they’ve been there themselves. Sandra’s still grieving Brian intensely, and there’s no doubt John misses Kelly every day too. He still talks about her all the time, she’s very close to his heart, and anyone that dates him will have to accept that.

‘Sandra is still very far from dating, she’s telling people she may never be ready, but that hasn’t stopped people in John’s life from hoping this could happen because they seem like they could be such a great match, if not now then maybe in the future.’

Now, only time will tell if any romance blossoms between the pair, but it seems that for both John and Sandra, the year ahead could spell a series of new beginnings for the pair when it comes to their highly-successful careers.

Sandra is set to make a return to screens following a four-year hiatus with Practical Magic 2 and has reportedly just signed on for another project. Meanwhile, John appears to be pushing himself out of his comfort zone right now with a prospective rom com. And the source says any potential for a future romance, on or off-screen, could now depend on the landing the right script.

The insider says, ‘Of course, for any of this to work it will take the right script because they’re both at a stage in their careers where they will only take on projects that genuinely appeal to them. But if the right script came along that paired them together, it would definitely get their attention because they do genuinely like each other.

‘It really comes down to getting them in the same room and seeing what happens and if nothing works out romantically, the feeling is that at the very least, they could build a nice friendship.’

It’s official – July is set to mark the milestone return of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to the UK. While But while Harry has been back a number of times – most recently continuing the battle to have his security demands met – the trip to attend the one-year countdown event for the Invictus Games would be Meghan’s first in four years. And with the palace reception likely to be frosty, heat are told even renowned family peacemaker Kate Middleton, 44, is said to be ruling out any reunion with Meghan.

‘Kate has always strived to keep an open mind towards Meghan, in spite of their differences over the years,’ our source says.

Spoilers. Scandals. Showbiz chaos. Click here to add heat to your Google preferences and stay ahead of the drama.

‘At the end of the day, she’s a huge believer in peace and forgiveness. It’s not usually in her nature to hold grudges or side against someone just because. But like the rest of the royals, she is exasperated by the shameless stunts Meghan keeps pulling. She’s throwing her royal title around like it’s a calling card, and disrespecting the rules and general behaviour codes that everyone who’s lucky enough to be a HRH is morally obligated to obey.’

Harry last saw his father, King Charles in September 2025 for a meeting that allegedly lasted just 55 minutes, but it’s been reported that this time, the 41-year-old is hoping to be invited to Sandringham Castle for the King to see his grandchildren, Archie, six, and Lillibet, four. However, Harry and Meghan’s latest moves may have scuppered plans for any healing reunion.

The couple recently announced their first trip to Australia in seven years, with the pair set to combine business and philanthropic ventures during what’s been dubbed a ‘faux royal’ tour. As heat previously reported, their recent trip to Jordan had far-reaching consequences and seems to have gone down particularly badly with Kate, who sees the behaviour as a betrayal of everything they stand for.

‘A lot of the royals are convinced Meghan is doing all these copycat moves on purpose. There’s a sense that she actually enjoys poking the bear, and Kate is starting to see it that way, too,’ we’re told.

With Harry and Meghan, 44, making headlines for their trip down-under, we’re told that Kate’s patience is wearing thin. ‘The faux royal tours, as well as this upcoming trip to Australia, have done way too much damage at this point so it’s no wonder Kate’s finally run out of patience,’ we’re told.

The bond between the sisters-in-law has undergone a dramatic transformation over the years. Although they were once seen as a united front – even being dubbed the ‘Fab Four’ alongside their husbands – the relationship fractured following the Sussexes' 2020 move to California. But while the two women remain at odds, Kate, 44, has championed the possibility of a reconciliation between Williamand Harry.

‘She does feel that William and Harry’s chances of reconciling would be a lot greater if she and Meghan were able to find some common ground,’ an insider told us.

‘It doesn’t help that William is doubling down and refusing to make nice with Harry. The King has tried everything, as has Kate, to get him to soften his stance and give his brother the time of day when he visits with the kids. But William is still insisting he cannot forgive all the terrible behaviour his brother has been guilty of these past several years.

‘If his father wants to break bread with the Sussexes, then William won’t stand in his way, but he won’t be joining in, barring some type of miracle. And that makes it even harder for Kate to effectively go against him and be around Meghan, either. She’ll likely make her polite excuses and let the King get on with it by himself.’

Love Island star Belle Hassan reignited some serious All Stars drama this week (Wednesday 1 April) when she finally had her say on what went down in the villa during an appearance on Jamie Laing’s Great Company podcast.

During the interview, Belle dropped some major bombshells. Not only did she accuse producers of orchestrating her love triangle with Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning, she also alleged that Scott used a phone to read press coverage about the show during a trip to the dentist.

This led to Scott hitting back at Belle, and Whitney Adebayo (who also spilled some All Stars tea during a different podcast interview released on the same day), on social media. And now Belle’s villa flame Harrison Solomon has weighed in on the situation too.

Harrison is currently on holiday in Barbados but still found time to comment on all the drama from the other side of the world.

Taking to his Instagram Story in the wake of the podcast interviews, he shared a snap of himself taking a mirror selfie and wrote, ‘Morning ganggg. Woke up and World War 3’s kicked off.’

Harrison is of course firmly Team Belle. They coupled up after he arrived as an All Stars bombshell and although they were sent packing just before the final after the dumped Islanders returned for a vote, they’re still going strong in the outside world.

Belle addressed her relationship status on Jamie’s podcast, revealing that they’re still not official even though things are going well.

While neither Harrison nor Belle have dropped the L-bomb just yet, she told Jamie, ‘We both have a lot of love for each other.’

Her comments about Harisson were a lot nicer than what she had to say about Scott. She branded the Welsh footballer a ‘game player’ and accused him of only being interested in her because he found out she was popular with viewers. Ouch.

Celebrity Ex on the Beach is back and, honestly, if any bigwigs at Paramount are reading this, you need to give your casting team a raise 'cause this is our kind of celebrity chaos – half of Jedward AND Helen Flanagan? Come on now.

Not to mention a collection of some of the most troublesome Love Island boys ever to grace our screens – Curtis Pritchard, Ronnie Vint and Toby Aromolaran.

FYI, this article contains Celebrity Ex on the Beach 2026 spoilers...

Toby went in as an OG in episode one of this year's Celebrity Ex on the Beach and we have a feeling the Love Island 2021 hunk could be a major character this series. Call it a hunch 👀

As such, we thought it best we ALL get caught up on his dating history (including those briefer than brief flings), you know, in case any of these stunners suddenly emerge from the Tenerife waves...

Kaz Kamwi

Toby and Kaz Kamwi never actually had a proper romance on Love Island 2021 – despite Love Island fans side-eyeing their flirty villa vibes, they were always more 'banter besties' than 'couple goals.' Still, they were coupled up in the villa. These days, they're very good mates and we are watching 👀 👀.

Mary Bedford

Toby and Love Island 2021's Mary Bedford were a very brief Love Island pairing, but more a Casa Amor convenience than anything else. They got to know each other after Mary came in during Casa, had a few flirty chats and coupled up, but the spark didn’t exactly set the villa on fire, and Toby quickly swerved back into his main storyline with Chloe Burrows.

Chloe Burrows

Toby and Chloe were a major love story in the summer of 2021. After a lot of drama on the show, they finally coupled up properly in the villa, came out as runners-up, moved in together, and dated for around a year or so before splitting in late 2022. On All Stars 2024, Toby suggested there was a breach of trust in their relationship behind the scenes. It's safe to say they aren't in each other's lives anymore and given that Chloe is in a new LTR, we can pretty much guarantee she won't be popping up on the beach.

Arabella Chi

Toby and Arabella Chi’s, erm, relationship was nothing more than a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it fling: they’d hooked up briefly on the outside (Arabella said it was a one-night thing before she moved to Ibiza in 2022), then later admitted there was a bit of 'unfinished business' and had the inevitable awkward chats about what actually went down and whether anything could be rekindled. It couldn't.

Arabella is in a new relationship and has just had a baby.

Georgia Steel

Oooft, okay...

Toby and Georgia Steel were very much the 'we’ve got history' storyline of All Stars 2024. They’d previously had a brief thing outside the show (well, on Love Island Games), then reignited on All Stars, coupled up and made it to the final (finishing fourth), but the romance didn’t exactly go the distance once real life returned and the post-villa noise kicked in. He and Georgia had a very public break-up after the show, one that was described as a 'rather toxic split'.

Oh, and we think he just threw shade at her.

Cely Vazquez

Toby and Love Island USA star Cely Vazquez were coupled up right at the start of Love Island Games and that's about all you need to know.

Dani Imbert

Toby was spotted kissing TOWIE star Dani Imbert in the trailer for the new series of Celebrity Ex on the Beach and while we don't know their current relationship status, we will say they seemed quite friendly at the launch party last week.

Love Island may have finished weeks ago now, but the All Stars Islanders just can’t escape the drama.

Earlier this week, Belle Hassan finally broke her silence on all her feuds and fallouts from the villa during a podcast interview with Jamie Laing and it basically broke the internet when she alleged ‘game player’ Scott van-der-Sluis used a phone to access press coverage during a trip to the dentist.

Whitney Adebayo also had her say about Scott on a separate podcast, which led to them later unfollowing each other on social media, but he’s not the only Islander she addressed during the interview as Whitney also spoke out on that awkward interview with Indiyah Polack.

ICYMI, Indiyah quizzed Whitney and her man Yamen Sanders during a post-final interview, but Whitney didn’t take too kindly to Indiyah’s claims that she ‘got involved in the drama when she didn’t need to’. The 2023 Islander hit back, ‘What drama? So I can double down,’ before adding, ‘The whole drama sh*t is bullsh*t. Charge it to the culture.’

In the wake of the interview, Indiyah unfollowed Whitney on Instagram – and it turns out there was more the situation than we first realised as Whitney has opened up about her history with Indiyah during her latest podcast appearance on The Wunmi Bello Show.

‘I get it, people like to come on camera and do the fake smiles and whatnot, but Indiyah knows that behind the scenes, she’s not been the nicest to me.

'I get we’re on camera, but I’m not going to switch up on how you’ve been treating me throughout the years to now on camera we’re doing up smiles,’ Whitney explained.

She continued, ‘Clearly I’m not built like that, I can’t fake it for the camera. Realistically, one, you already know we’re not cool off the scenes, and then people think, "Oh yeah, it’s your job," yeah, great, you’ve got a job to do, but you also have the power, it’s not just Maya.

‘You have the power to alter your questions as a presenter. You’re not forced to ask any questions that you don’t want to ask. If you are going to ask questions, you also do have the power to brief.’

Whitney went on to say she was ‘genuinely’ confused about the drama Indiyah was referring to, before adding, ‘I can admit my tone was off, but genuinely, what drama?’

Can you believe it's been nearly TWENTY YEARS since the cult TV show Skins offered a true representation of British teen culture?

Anybody who was alive in the noughties was likely obsessed with the Bristol based drama series that followed Tony Stonem throughout season one and his younger sister Effy during season two.

Skins was a raw and unsettling, yet witty and relatable look at life as a teenager in the 2000s and dealt with countless delicate subjects including addiction, eating disorders, bullying, religion as well as sexuality, family struggles and peer pressure.

Not only was the show adored by all of those who were battling with the issues being played out on screen, but it was a perfect example of what happens when you give talented unknown, young actors a chance.

The likes of Nichols Hoult, Kaya Scodelario and David Kalyuua have gone to thrive in Hollywood and writer Jack Thorne later provided us with the masterpiece that is This is England.

We take a look back at our favourite Skins cast members and what they are doing, nineteen years after the pilot aired.

Nicholas Hoult (Tony Stonem)

He may have played Marcus in About A Boy at the age of 11, but there is no denying that it was his role as cocky, leading lad Tony Stonem that started Nicholas' career. Since season one of Skins ended, Nicholas has gone onto become the golden boy of Hollywood; he has won a BAFTA and two Critics Choice Awards, he's the latest person to portray Lex Luthor in a Superman film and was praised for his portrayal of Hank McCoy/Beast in X Men: First Class.

Joe Dempsie (Chris Miles)

Joe Dempsie dabbled in film and TV before landing the role as the drug-addled Chris Miles in Skins. The character was a fan favourite that tragically died at the end of series two. After Skins, Joe joined the cast of Game of Throne as Gendry and has done voice acting for the award winning Netflix series Love, Death & Robots, he also reunited with Jack Throne for This is England '90.

April Pearson (Michelle Richardson)

April Pearson was Tony's confident girlfriend who he would enjoy mocking on a daily basis. She was also best pals with Cassie and Jal and very aware that Tony's bestie (Sid) fancied her. After Skins, April starred in a few shows and movies and also directed some short films. She also has a podcast called Are you Michelle from Skins?

Dev Patel (Anwar Kharral)

Dev Patel shone in the role of funnyman Anwar Kharral, the BFF of Maxxie Olivier who claimed to be a 'good muslim boy' despite the fact he would do drugs, drink, have pre martial sex and eat pork. Once his time on Skins came to end, Dev has gone to have one of the most successful careers out of all the actors from Skins. He played the lead role in the Oscar winning film Slumdog Millionaire and was also nominated for an Oscar in the Best Supporting Actor category for Lion. Dev was included in Time's list of the 100 most influential people in the world in 2024.

Hannah Murray (Cassie Ainsworth)

Eccentric and charming Cassie Ainsworth was portrayed by Hannah Murray. Cassie was pals with Michelle, had a crush on Sid, she struggled with anorexia, had drug addiction and ended up fleeing to New York. Much like Joe Dempsie, Hannah played a key part in Game of Thrones when Skins finished and also acted on the West End. In 2026 she's set to release a book The Make-Believe which is an 'ultimately uplifting and inspiring story of empathy, resilience and the power of belief.'

Mike Bailey (Sid Jenkins)

Mike Bailey was the actor behind the role of Sid Jenkins, Tony's awkward and shy BFF who had a crush on Michelle and later dated Cassie. Mike retired from acting not longer after Skins and went on to become a teacher.

Daniel Kaluuya (Posh Kenneth)

Not only did Daniel star in Skins as the iconic Posh Kenneth he also co-wrote some episodes at the age of just 17. Daniel has gone on to become one of Britain's most celebrated actors, famed for his role as W'Kabi in Black Panther as well as playing the lead in Jordan Peele's horror flick Get Out - for which he was nominated an Academy Award. Side note: he is the godfather of Kaya's son. Adorbs.

Mitch Hewer (Maxxie Oliver)

Mitch Hewer played the role of Maxxie, Anwar's gay best friend who struggled with his sexuality. Mitch later appeared in Britannia High and Mitch still dabbles in the world of acting. The Skins star is also happily married with children.

Kaya Scodelario (Effy Stonem)

Kaya played the role of Tony's younger sister Effy. She was caught up in a love triangle with Freddie and Cook and was honestly every teenage girls' style icon. Much like her on-screen older brother, Kaya has had a stellar acting career. She is currently starring opposite Theo James on the Netflix show The Gentleman, has appeared in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales and was highly praised for portraying Cathy in the 2011 version of Wuthering Heights.

Larissa Wilson (Jalander 'Jal' Fazer)

Larissa Wilson was Michelle's smart pal who played clarinet and had a soft spot for Chris Miles. As it turns out, it wasn't just the characters who had a thing for one another as the actors now shared a child together, it was a short-lived romance and they have since split. Larissa had a few acting jobs after Skins, and she had a ten year hiatus from 2014 to 2024 but she made a directorial debut in 2020.

Jack O'Connell (James Cook Jnr 'Cook')

Jack O'Connell was the face of one of Effy's love interest in the third series of Skins, he played the role of Cook; a cheeky chappy who consumed A LOT of alcohol and was besties with JJ and Freddie. We weren't kidding when we said the Skins bunch have thrived; Jack is another cast member who has starred in several Oscar winning movies including Sinners and Unbroken. He has also won a BAFTA, a Gotham Award and an Actor Award (formerly SAG).

Luke Pasqualino (Freddie McClair)

The other guy trying to catch Effy's eye was nice guy Freddie McClair who spent most of his time skating, smoking weed and trying to keep Cook in check. Freddie was murdered in the season four final by Effy's counsellor who was obsessed with her. It really was as dramatic as it sounds. Much like his Skins BFF, Luke Pasqualino is still acting but mostly focuses on TV. He recently appeared in the comedy drama Rivals, and also appeared in Netflix's Shadow and Bone and has acted opposite Charlie Hunnam in Shantaram.

Ollie Barbieri (Jonah Jeremiah 'JJ' Jones)

JJ was a key character in the third and fourth series of Skins, he was an autistic teen who had a fascination with magic and he was besties with Cook and Freddie. Ollie Barbieri who played JJ still cites himself as an actor on Instagram but his last IMDB credit is from 2017.

Peter Capaldi (Mark Jenkins)

It's not just the teens who have remained in the public eye as none other than Peter Capaldi who played the role of Sid's dad Mark is still in the spotlight. Obviously the teen drama didn't catapult the Scottish actor's career as he has been making moving since the 80s. Peter is now best known for playing the twelfth Doctor in Doctor Who and has appeared on Black Mirror and the DC movie Suicide Squad.

WATCH: Name a more iconic duo… We’ll wait 😂

Emily Vierke is a digital writer who has dabbled in the world of celeb, beauty and fashion. She enjoys stalking Indiyah Polack for outfit inspo nearly as much as she enjoys rewatching the clip of Maura Higgins confronting Tom Walker for gossiping about her to the Love Island lads.

Those Love Island stars might've had a lot going on during All Stars 2026 but since the final, the drama and feuds have only continued.

Earlier this year the biggest drama surrounding the Islanders was Lucinda Strafford shoving that pie in Samie Elishi's face and then the girls were disagreeing over whether they're friends in real life or not.

It was all very awkward tbh. We're still cringing...

Now though, it looks like ANOTHER feud is brewing as it appears that Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning have unfollowed Whitney Adebayo and vice versa.

It seems to have all kicked off after Belle claimed that Scott would Google information about the show during trips to the dentist in South Africa.

‘He was Googling the football scores, he was Googling the press. So, he came in with all this information. He basically had looked up who was the favourite at the time and, at the time, he said I was the favourite girl,' she revealed on the Great Company podcast.

'So he was like, "That's why they're [the producers are] trying to run this story." 'I told Scott and Leanne, I said, "Listen, production are asking me to go after Scott, I want to let you know that first." Leanne knew this and so did Scott.'

Meanwhile, Whitney claimed on The Wunmi Bello Show that Scott got back together with Leanne after he allegedly Googled the show.

'He found out the public wanted him with Leanne and then obviously came back 360 on Belle and that's why Belle went crazy. Not because of the 360. It was more so because you've switched up on me,' Whit explained.

THEN Scott claimed both Belle and Whitney were 'lying' and it was shortly after his tweet that it came to light that Scott and Leanne had unfollowed Whitney, or the other way around we're not 100 per cent sure tbh. All we know is that they're no longer following each other which is super sad, especially because Whitney and Scott were basically best pals before their All Stars stint. They met on Love Island 2023 and have been besties ever since. Remember Whit screamed 'Scottisha' when he walked into the All Stars villa on day one?

The Islanders unfollowing each other comes after Whitney only recently spoke out about her friendship with Belle and Leanne and said the trio were 'gang' in the villa. Well, until Scott's head turned, Leanne tried to get to know Yamen Sanders and then Belle tried to get to know Scott.

The finalists' latest social media antics come shortly after Leanne and Belle unfollowed each other on Instagram, too.

Remember after Love Island 2018 when the producers brought them all back for the Christmas reunion? Our fingers are crossed that they bring it back for the All Stars series three cast because we need to know ALL this tea in full.

WATCH: Love Island's Leanne and Scott reveal their fave things about each other 😭❤️

Eden-Olivia is the deputy editor of heatworld and she’s worked in showbiz since 2016. She started watching Love Island in 2017 because of her job. However Montana Brown remaining unphased by absolutely everything kept her entertained and she’s watched every series since.

She only went and nabbed the Love Island: All Stars crown this year - and honestly, Samie Elishi looked ridiculously good while doing it.

The Camden babe was serving that annoyingly perfect, just-back-from-a-facial glow throughout her third stint in the villa… and get this: her effortless look comes down to one single, budget buy. Yep - a £4 product. We’re obsessed.

Speaking exclusively to heat, Samie finally spilled the (bronzing) tea on her sun-kissed skin.

‘The Bronzing Drops from W7 - they are unbelievable,’ she exclusively told us. We love a queen who doesn’t gatekeep.

And after six weeks tanning it up in South Africa, she ran into a problem we’ve all faced: your tan’s thriving, but your foundation is suddenly… confused.

'In the All Stars villa I was too tanned for my foundation and skin tint, so I’d mix my foundation with the bronzing drops,’ she explained.

‘I wouldn’t wear make-up in the day, but everyone would say the glow just gives me something.’

And it’s not just a face situation, either - Samie’s taking these magic little drops on tour. They’re basically going everywhere.

‘I put it on my chest, I mix it with a moisturiser on my collar bones. I put it on my legs and shins as well. Honestly, it’s a holy grail and you can use it just everywhere,’ she told us.

It was third time lucky for the brunette beauty who returned to the villa this year - she previously starred on series nineand All Stars 2025 - and her experience was far from smooth sailing, let’s say. After coupling up with Welsh rugby player Ciaran Davies in the first week, a spanner was thrown into the works when her once-close pal Lucinda Strafford came in and stole him in a tense re-coupling.

The girls couldn’t help but butt heads and after THAT infamous pie incident (IYKYK) it’s safe to say that they couldn’t see eye-to-eye. After Ciaran decided his eyes were firmly on Samie, the pair sailed to the final and ended up taking the coveted All Stars crown. However, back on home soil, the couple couldn’t make it work and split less than three weeks after leaving the villa, that might be a Love Island world record?

When it comes to reality TV, we all know by now it's not exactly like real life, countless Made in Chelsea and Love Island stars have come forward to admit they had to film a certain scene more than once or that the producers told them to do something. With that in mind, when we had the chance to chat with Made in Chelsea fan favourite Jules Pollard, about who was different off screen and on camera we were intrigued by her response.

Jules was joined by Chuggs Wallis and Kit Paterson when she stopped by heat Towers and they were all more than eager to chat about their co-stars.

'I would say Temps, to be honest,' Jules admitted when we asked who was the most different. 'I think he's really different on camera to off. Yep.'

She wasn't alone in her theory as the minute Temps' name came out of her mouth, Chuggs was more than in agreement.

'Thats a good one,' he admitted, 'he has a lot to say.'

'He's got a lot to say when the cameras are on but not so much when they're off,' she agreed with a smirk.

A few former Made in Chelsea stars have admitted that in order to remain part of the core cast you need to be happy to cause drama and keep a storyline alive, sometimes at the risk of causing an awkward dynamic with a colleague. Spencer Matthews even claimed that those who were happy to make a scene, were paid a 'bonus'.

'And he likes to comment on things that aren't involving him,' Chuggs pointed out.

Now that they say it, we don't think Temps has been caught up in any key plots over the past few series, however he is always on hand to throw a shady comment someone's way or call out suspicious behaviour when he sees it.

'Yeah, exactly,' Jules concurred with Kit remaining quiet the entire time. Smart guy.

It’s been a joyous time for Jeff Brazier, who became a grandad for the first time after his son Freddy welcomed baby daughter Isla Jade with girlfriend Holly Swinburn. Posting on Instagram, Jeff, 46, shared a series of family snaps, telling followers his granddaughter was ‘deeply loved’ and ‘the greatest gift’.

And while the TV star is over the moon about their new addition, sources say that he’s also worried about how his youngest son will cope with fatherhood.

‘Jeff knows Isla hasn’t been born into the most secure of relationships and wants to make sure he plays a big role in her life,’ an insider tells heat.

‘He wants to be able to give Freddy advice and be as hands-on as possible without being overbearing. He knows the pressure a baby can put on a relationship, and he wants to make sure Freddy stays on the straight and narrow.’

Freddy, 21, and Holly, 22, connected on TikTok last June, and in August, she discovered she was pregnant. Three months later, the pair split after Holly reportedly found out Freddy had been partying at their flat while she was away on holiday. But they put their issues to one side and reunited prior to Isla’s birth.

Freddy has had his ups and downs with dad Jeff in recent years. The duo fell out over Freddy’s ‘toxic’ relationship with his maternal grandmother Jackiey Budden. Jeff accused her of being a bad influence after Freddy claimed she’d got him ‘hooked’ on drugs when he was just 12.

However, father and son have now made amends – and Jeff has plenty of experience of being a young first-time dad that he can share with Freddy. Jeff welcomed first son Bobby, 22, with the late Jade Goody when he was only 24 years old, with Freddy being born just over a year later. Jeff and Big Brother star Jade – who died from cervical cancer in 2009 – split after two years together, when the boys were still very young.

Our source says, ‘Jeff and Freddy’s relationship has been very strained, but he’s hoping Freddy can turn to him, as he was a young dad himself, and his relationship with Jade was very up and down. Jeff knows he can be a worrier, so he’s just trying to enjoy this moment. It’s a big change for all of them but they all know Isla is going to be very spoilt and loved.’

Having shot to fame on Made In Chelsea, Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo are reality TV veterans. But the couple have taken on their most challenging project to date with their new Disney+ show, Raising Chelsea – an intimate three-part series documenting their journey to first-time parenthood.

Filmed over the course of 18 months, fans will get to see the whole of Sophie’s pregnancy, followed by the arrival of son Ziggy in December. Here, Sophie, 31, and Jamie, 37 – who tied the knot in 2023 – open up about parenthood, filming Ziggy’s birth, and their plans for more children…

How are you finding being new parents?

Sophie: All of it is insane. You’re up all night, you’re changing nappies – there’s not a minute to yourself. But at the same time, the love you feel is almost too much. I feel overwhelmed by love.

Jamie: If I’d known the power I had when I was a kid, I would be a dictator! And they don’t sleep. Ziggy hates sleep.

Is there anything you would have done differently to prepare for parenthood?

S: I would have tried to enjoy being pregnant a bit more. This was the first one and I was so nervous. Now, I look back at it like, ‘What was I so nervous for?’

J: What I would be more prepared for is the fact that, when you have your baby, it’s like your heart having legs and running around. It’s too much. I wish I was more prepared for the love that you feel.

Why did you choose to create this show?

S: I’m a massive reality fan, but I do feel like everything is becoming really produced and constructed. So, with this, we thought if we’re going to do it, we’ve got to do it properly. We want it to be authentic, and that’s what it is. The arguments are all out there for everyone to see!

J: You have cameras in your face 24/7, as well. It was scary and nerve-wracking, and on our show, we argue a lot. It’s insane that we captured it all.

You had an emergency C-section and the birth was filmed…

J: It was wild. We weren’t going to have any cameras during the birth. Then we went through our phones and the anaesthetist had filmed it. It was like she was Martin Scorsese! But we wanted to do proper storytelling, and it kind of felt unfair if we didn’t share the birth.

S: Jamie persuaded me to put the birth video in the show. It’s an emotional thing and I thought, ‘We’ve filmed for a year-and-a-half, this is the moment that we should probably share.’ It’s revealing.

Do you want more children in the future?

S: I want four.

J: I want eight. We’re going to call them Donner and Blitzen, and then put them on a sleigh at Christmas, and they’re just going to drag us down the King’s Road.

WATCH: 'How many weddings is too many?': The Jonas Brothers get sassy as they 'Answer the Internet'

She suffered a devastating loss last July after her beloved dad Ozzy died, and there’s been more heartbreak for Kelly Osbourne with reports that she’s split from fiancé Sid Wilson – the father of her son Sidney, three – just seven months after the Slipknot DJ popped the question. A source said the couple had been on the rocks for a while.

‘Kelly and Sid had been facing challenges in their relationship for some time. They tried to make it work, particularly for the sake of their child, but ultimately, they decided that separating was the best thing to do.’

Kelly, 41, and Sid, 49, were friends for more than two decades before they started dating in 2022. Sid proposed at Ozzy’s final Black Sabbath show last July – just weeks before his death. Her mum Sharon, 73, brother Jack, 40, and Ozzy were all there.

The couple were last photographed together at the Grammy Awards in February, before reports of a split emerged last week. Now, in a shock twist, Kelly already seems to have moved on with someone else: close pal Kiinicki.

Eagle-eyed fans may recognise the hairstylist – who uses they/them pronouns and describes themself as queer – from Kelly’s socials. And, last week, the pair were reportedly seen getting intimate at an after-party for mutual pal Lily Allen’s West End Girl show at the London Palladium, which took place at the boujee Broadwick Hotel in Soho.

One onlooker said, ‘They were all over each other all night and were not trying to hide it – taking selfies on Kelly’s massive tripod with this really bright backlight. It was very clear Kelly and her pal share a close friendship, even wearing matching crochet beanies. They were hardly subtle about it and were chatting with Lily together. You can tell Kelly relies on them as they never left her side, and if they ever did, Kelly would follow.’

Kelly later posted a cosy snap of the pair – who recently got matching hand tattoos of a crescent moon and a tooth – on Instagram. She also shared a photo of her and Kiinicki in bed together with baby Sid, all wearing nappies on their heads.

‘Little man has conjunctivitis, so we are entertaining him,’ she wrote in the caption.

Once branded reality TV’s power couple, Stacey Solomon and Joe Swash have recently faced whispers that their marriage is going through a rocky patch. Speculation about their 10-year relationship has been fuelled by online bickering between the pair and Stacey being spotted without her wedding ring. But sources tell heat that the mum of five has had enough of the divorce stories.

‘Stacey is totally fed up with the marriage rumours,’ says an insider.

‘She sees all the trolling comments, and reads all the snarky stories – and she’s done with them. She and Joe are just regular people – they argue and have ups and downs like all married couples. No marriage is perfect, but she takes all the negativity to heart and that’s part of the problem.’

Over the past year, the couple have spoken candidly about their marital struggles, with cameras showing them rowing over their differing lifestyles and spending habits on their BBC reality series Stacey & Joe, which came to an end in December after two series. Stacey started dating Joe in 2016, marrying him in 2022. She recently shared that a ‘good row’ keeps their relationship healthy, and that they might be annoyed with each other for ‘months’. She said, ‘I think the best thing to do in a relationship is fall out. Have that argument, say it out loud, communicate. Me and Joe love a good row – we’ll be fuming with each other, then we can laugh and get over it.’

The presenter, who also admitted they sleep in separate beds, continued, ‘We have the same morals and values, so even if we have a couple of months of, “F**king hell, I can’t even look at you right now”, we’ll eventually remember why we got together in the first place.’

But lately, the couple – who are parents to Rex, six, Rose, four, and Belle, three, as well as Stacey’s sons Zachary, 18, and Leighton, 13, and Joe’s son Harry, 18 – have sparked rumours over the state of their three-year marriage after Stacey was seen without her wedding ring on multiple occasions. In an 18th birthday post to Zachary, the former X Factor star kept her left hand firmly hidden.

This follows other recent social media posts where she was also ring-less. When asked about it on This Morning, Stacey, 36, joked, ‘Have I not been wearing my ring? I probably took it off to go to the toilet or something, I don’t know!’ Later, referring to Joe’s plan to create a fishing lake in the grounds of their home, she added, ‘Maybe I dropped the ring in the lake… with our marriage!’ She also said she hadn’t seen Joe’s gushing Mother’s Day post on Instagram – despite him tagging her account. In it, he called Stacey ‘our very own superwoman’.

Earlier this month, Stacey – who’s estimated to be worth £10million – raised eyebrows when she called Joe a ‘knob’ in one of his videos as she mocked his TikTok shop and accused him of selling ‘a load of crap’ on the platform. Our insider says, ‘Stacey and Joe rowed about him selling stuff online. Since then they’ve been feeling the pressure. He argues that he really needs to make his own money and have his own life, but Stacey finds this push for financial independence hard to deal with, because she likes to be in control.’

In contrast to Stacey’s business acumen, which has helped fund the family’s lavish lifestyle, Joe, 44, has been declared bankrupt twice – in 2009 and 2013. He said the fame his EastEnders role brought him created a false sense of security, ‘I was irresponsible with money,’ he admitted.

‘I was chucking it away on stuff I didn’t need. I thought I was going to be on EastEnders for years and years.’

We’re told Stacey being the main breadwinner has put further pressure on their relationship. As well as presenting Sort Your Life Out and Renovation Rescue, she recently appeared as a guest judge on Britain’s Got Talent. She’s also said to earn around £15k for each sponsored social media post. Our insider says, ‘The strain on their marriage is increasing and it’s started to take its toll – things aren’t as easy between them as they were. Joe feels like Stacey is too concerned about herself and her image – it’s almost like she looks down on him and his career because he’s not as successful.’

The source continues, ‘She’s changed over the last few years. She’s made a lot of money, but it never seems to be quite enough. She argues that she’s building an amazing future for the children – and there’s no denying she works hard – but her career always seems to take priority, even over her marriage.’

While she knows she needs to spend more quality time with Joe, we’re told Stacey doesn’t want the negative stories to overshadow her work.

‘Because she’s been super-busy, they haven’t had time for date nights recently, but both of them know they need to prioritise their relationship,’ says the source.

Unfortunately, that may be easier said than done. ‘Stacey was a huge hit on BGT, which will hopefully lead to more TV work. She’s furious that these rumours about her marriage risk overshadowing her success – but at the end of the day, she’ll always put everything into her career. Every couple has rough patches and she and Joe will sort it out behind closed doors.’

They've kept Love Island fans on their toes ever since rumours began to circulate that they were dating and now series 10's Tyrique Hyde and series nine's Samie Elishi have just hard launched their relationship.

Despite coupling up with Ciaran Davies on All Stars 2026, winning £25k and meeting each other's families - it was just three weeks later that the winners split.

Shortly after reports surfaced that they'd called it quits, there were rumours that Samie had moved on with Tyrique and as it turns out the rumours were true.

After one of his followers asked 'Ain't no way you holidaying with Samie', Tyrique posted a photo of Samie sunbathing next to him on holiday and replied, 'April Fools... brb bout to get drunk.'

And then one of Samie's followers messaged and said, 'You are lataa gang confirmed, certified member. Pls if you want him to laugh tell him AR13 sent this 😂😂😂😂😂😂.'

Samie simply replied, 'He laughed.'

If you don't know, Tyrique says 'lataa' in near enough every Instagram Story or caption so Samie's follower is definitely talking about Tyrique.

And the plot thickens because Samie and Tyrique's recoupling comes shortly after Ciaran recently spoke out about them.

'With him do your thing we ain't boys, we ain't mates - whatever,' he said on the Not My Bagg podcast.

'But during that time before [she went to] New York when we were still seeing each other, I sent flowers to her house and I found out a day or two days ago, that he [Tyrique] had also sent flowers to her house.

'How he got the address I will never know so now hearing this, now I'm just being made to look like a fool...

'I've also come to find out that he unfollowed me the day before we split and then the day after we did split, he did that post about Samie,' he added.

Savage.

ICYMI, the post Ciaran is talking about is from when Tyrique denied being a 'homewrecker' on social media before adding, 'Although, can you actually break someone up if they’re not boyfriend and girlfriend? I don’t know...'

And since Ciaran's interview dropped, Samie has branded it all 'b-llocks'.

Well, that's that then.

If you thought the Love Island drama would stay in the villa now that All Stars is over, you’re very much mistaken as it’s been weeks since Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies won the show and all the messy feuds are still rumbling on.

Not only has Ciaran branded Samie’s rumoured new romance with Tyrique Hyde ‘disrespectful’ after their split, but the Islanders have also been unfollowing each other left, right and centre – and now Belle Hassan has finally broken her silence on all the All Stars drama.

In an explosive new interview, the Love Island 2019 star has given her side of the story about what went down in the Cape Town villa and she’s exposed unaired scenes that change everything.

Spoilers. Scandals. Showbiz chaos. Click here to add heat to your Google preferences and stay ahead of the drama.

During an appearance on the Great Company with Jamie Laing podcast, Belle alleged that producers told her to pursue things with Scott.

‘The production had asked me to go for Scott and I was asking them for a bombshell, I was like, “Please just put a bombshell in!’ And I knew they wouldn’t put a bombshell in until we run that storyline.

‘I was called into the Beach Hut, where we speak to the producers and they were like, “Look, we want you to go after Scott,” and I’m like, ‘What do you mean go after Scott? Me and Scott are friends,” and they were like, “We heard the conversation he had with with you on the way over to the USA villa, but we can’t air it.”’

So, what exactly was said in this conversation? According to Belle, Scott told her, ‘I want to be with you, I like you. Let’s just couple up.’ The conversation was apparently had while the Islanders were travelling over to Villa USA from the main villa but wasn’t aired because although Belle and Scott were mic’ed up, there were no cameras on them at the time.

The tea-spilling didn’t end there either as Belle branded Scott a ‘game player’ and accused him of using a phone to search for press coverage about the show on Google during an emergency trip to the dentist.

‘He did say that when he went to the dentist and he got hold of a phone or he was asking the dentist to Google things for him. He told me this. He told Ciaran and he told Helena,’ Belle explained.

‘He was Googling the football scores, he was Googling the press. So, he came in with all this information. He basically had looked up who was the favourite at the time and, at the time, he said I was the favourite girl.

‘So he was like, “That's why they're trying to run this story.”’ I told Scott and Leanne, I said, “Listen, production are asking to go after Scott, I want to let you know that first.” Leanne knew this and so did Scott.’

Things then took yet another turn, however, as during a separate podcast interview, Whitney Adebayo that Scott's head turned back to Leanne after he found out that they public wanted him with Leanne during one of his alleged sessions on Google.

'He found out the public wanted him with Leanne and then obviously came back 360 on Belle and that's why Belle went crazy. Not because of the 360. It was more so because you've switched up on me,' Whit said on The Wunmi Bello Show.

Scott addressed Belle and Whitney's comments on X, accusing them of 'lying'. When a fan pointed out that the two podcast interviews seem to contradict each other, Scott quoted their post and added, 'Three weeks to cook up a story to clear their name and this is the best they could do, the problem with agreeing to lie is your always going to slip up. Should have just got their TikTok friends to say it and take the heat 😭.'

Whitney then clapped back and accused Scott of lying for 'clout'.

Blimey, and we thought things were messy in the villa...

WATCH: Love Island's Scott and Leanne speak out about who they were close to in the villa and the Islanders whining together 👀

One thing we have learnt from chatting to the Made in Chelsea cast is that they do not hold back when it comes to spilling the tea.

If you thought just because they sip Champagne at Bluebird, play polo and only have designer handbags that they aren't partial to a gossip, you would be sorely mistaken. We were lucky enough to have a chat with a few Kings Road babes recently and they were more than happy to dish the dirt.

Former Love Island bombshell Chuggs Wallis was joined by close pal Jules Pollard and model turned chef Kit Paterson where they lifted the lid on all things Chelsea. When we asked which of their co-stars is different on screen and off screen, Chuggs gave a VERY detailed response.

'I think that different people manage different ways on how they film, right?

'I feel like I'm trying to be my full self and who I am on and off to keep it consistent because you get caught out if you change your bits and bobs in different scenarios but I do think some people lie to put on or exaggerate they personality a little bit,' he explained to us.

Cue Chuggs looking at Kit and Jules for confirmation that this is fact the case, and you have one guess who the bucket hat extraordinaire named.

'I think Sam [Prince] is definitely someone who exaggerates his personality,' he revealed.

'He exaggerates his sh*t stirring ability on camera.'

Don't let Princey hear this, the troublemaker thrives on being the most mischievous guy on set, having said that, we can see that cheeky grin taking over his face at the thought of Chuggs claiming he is a 'sh*t stirrer.'

'When you actually hang out with him off camera he's a far nicer guy to be around,' Chuggs added.

Who would have thought it? All the chaos creating and winding up that plays out on screen and it turns out that Sam is just a regular guy when the cameras are no longer rolling.

You can always rely on a reality TV finale to be brimming with drama, and not many do it better than the Made in Chelsea bunch. When we had a trio of the MIC babes stop by heat Towers for a pre-finale catch up, we asked them what we can expect from the end of series 31.

Jules Pollard was joined by one of her besties Chuggs Wallis as well as newcomer Kit Paterson to chat all things Made in Chelsea, including what goes down in the final episode. Whether it's jaw-dropping speeches being made, drinks being thrown, a couple splitting up or someone fleeing the country, the guys and girls of Kings Road know how to create chaos - and then some.

'I held a masquerade ball for all my friends,' Kit revealed and colour us jealous.

Why don't our friends throw masquerade balls and casino nights? Why is it just £5 bottles of wine and pre-drinking until 1am so we don't have to buy alcohol out?

'Yeah and it was very fun,' Jules pointed out before adding, 'Maybe a few tears.'

'It was beautiful actually,' Chuggs declared.

It's not a Made in Chelsea finale without somebody sobbing into their silk handkerchiefs but over what? We reckon somebody kissed somebody they shouldn't have and somebody else is sad about something.

'Definitely a few tears,' Kit agreed, 'It was a bit of a crescendo.'

Fabulous vocabulary from the chef and model but sadly for him it was wasted on his co-stars who swapped bemused glances before giving a look to the camera in a way which tells us they watch The Office.

'I don't know what that word means,' Chuggs admitted.

The 2026 series of MAFS Australia is FINALLY airing in the UK and can we all just take a second to imagine how wild it must be to work on the casting team for such a show?

Year after year they manage to pick the most chaotic bunch of people that are ready to get married and cause mayhem, and this year is no different.

The show has been on in Australia for a while now, which means they are way ahead of us in terms of who is married/quit/fallen out etc. However, in the UK, viewers have finally seen the first couple to split and quit the experiment - Rebecca Zukowski and Steve Powell. So let's deep dive into their relationship...

Spoilers. Scandals. Showbiz chaos. Click here to add heat to your Google preferences and stay ahead of the drama.

Despite a positive wedding day, cracks soon began to show in their relationship when Steve failed to say any green flags during the Green Flags, Red Flags challenge with the other grooms.

'Green flags is really simple - there's multiple. Now red flags, Rebecca is consistently that person where she needs to be talking all the time there's no down time,' he explained to the grooms.

'Rebecca's humour, I don't understand some of her humour. Sometimes it's got a bit of a sexual innuendo and I'm very conservative and it just seems rude to me.

'Rebecca is not my usual type and what I mean by that is her personality is less conservative to mine... It's just been a lot, Rebecca has just been a lot in general.'

His co-stars were confused and Rebecca seemed none the wiser, telling producers during the same challenge, 'I'm happy with where we're at. We're gold and we're going to get to platinum in a couple of days so I'm ready to go back to my husband, give him a hug and say, "We've got this, like please, we're doing so well."'

Despite being upfront with his co-stars, Steve failed to tell Rebecca herself and even during the first commitment ceremony he told the experts, 'We're very solid and comfortable.'

After the experts gave them advice for their relationship, they agreed to take it on board but Steve not only went on to have a heated discussion with Alessandra Rampolla (when she was again trying to give him advice), but he also accused Rebecca of being on MAFS for the opportunities and fame.

Following an argument where Steve said Rebecca was 'too much' for him, he then went on to declare that their marriage was over and admitted, 'I'm quite confident that I've done nothing wrong, I've got nothing to be ashamed of and I can hold my head up high.'

Then during the second commitment ceremony they both wrote 'leave' with Rebecca telling the experts, 'I came into this experiment wanting to find love, I was open, authentic and I was here for all the right reasons.

'When I first met Steve we had a connection and I thought the experts had got it right, we had a great wedding and honeymoon but as soon as I started saying "I need this from you" - me voicing my needs and wants - I felt unheard in the relationship.

'I felt like every time I tried to voice how I was feeling I was getting shut down and spoken over. I feel like he wasn't vulnerable he didn't show up for me and I feel like I was matched with someone that hasn't been in all with me.'

Later, as the experts tried to get Steve to point out what he'd contributed to the downfall of their relationship, he failed to say anything.

'I don't know,' he told them before going on to say, 'I don't know the other reasons so from your expert point of view, tell me what you've seen that I need to do.'

Safe to say they both agreed enough was enough and left the experiment.

No chance of the duo rekindling their romance on the reunion episode then.

It can never be easy, joining a show like Made in Chelsea when the cast already have strong bonds and friendships. However, it must always be nice to know a close pal, partner or even a sibling is already part of the cast, at least that's what we thought.

Season 31 of Made in Chelsea started a few weeks back and two newbies were added to the line-up, former football Elys Hutchinson and Phil Pollard, the latter of who is the oldest brother of fan favourite Jules Pollard.

Now, here we were thinking that rocking up on MIC as Jules's big bro would mean life with the SW3 squad would be smooth-sailing, oh how wrong we were. It turns out that not only does Phil not have much of a filter (we love to see it) but he also clashed BIG TIME, with Chuggs Wallis making for some very awkward scenes.

After Chuggs made some not exactly kind comments - saying things like 'This is going to sound bitchy, me and Tristan are similar people and Philip is just a different type of lad,' and 'I only care about Jules and Tristan's opinion' - word got back to Phil. It also didn't help that Chuggs implied Tristan Phipps (Jules' boyfriend and Phil potential future brother in law) thought similarly about Phil.

Tristan was livid, Jules was hurt, and Chuggs was feeling very sorry for himself indeed. The plot thickened when Philip accused Chuggs (who is besties with Tristan might we add) of fancying Jules, awkward, much?

When Chuggs dropped by heat Towers alongside Jules and Kit Patterson we asked him where exactly he stands with Phil, because as far as we are concerned it is NOT good times.

'I think they're all right,' he revealed and threw a glance at Jules who was looking all kinds of uncomfortable. 'We're not best mates, obviously.'

'They're all right, I saw him the other day and we got a little photo together,' he admitted.

When we say Jules has never looked so shocked in her life at the news, she nearly fell off her chair when Chuggs admitting to have a pic taken with her bro.

'It's fine, obviously we've got our differences,' he confessed, 'but there's no deep-rooted hatred or anything nasty against each other but I just think we're two different people.'

When we think of some of the most controversial MAFS Australia scenes over the years Jack Dunkley telling Jonathan McCullough to 'muzzle your woman' definitely springs to mind.

Series 12's self-proclaimed 'nice guy' Tim Gromie telling producers 'totally not what I wanted, not good' moments after saying I do to Katie Johnston - also pops up in our heads.

And now that MAFS Australia 2026 is airing we can add Brook Crompton, Gia Fleur and Bec Zacharia's behaviour throughout the second dinner party to the list.

Need a quick refresher? Well, cracks first started to show between the girls following the Green Flag, Red Flag challenge and then things took a turn during the second dinner party when Brook, Gia and Bec were arguing with Alissa Fay and Stella Mickunaite.

It wasn't only awkward to watch but it seems that even while filming, their co-stars felt that 'all hell broke loose' - Rachel Gilmore's words, not ours.

'That was just absolutely wild. I found it as bullying, Brook walked in looking for a fight pretty much.

'I'm beyond shocked. The amount of disrespect and comments that were thrown and the insults, mocking Alissa's voice - you can't reason with that,' Steven Danyluk told producers.

Now though, an unaired scene from the dinner party has surfaced on social media featuring Brook and Gia and let's just say they once again didn't hold back.

'I know for a fact, everyone who will watch this show will see that Alissa is a fake f--king bitch with those ratchet hair extensions,' Brook began.

Gia then said, 'If Alissa and Stella want to get off their f--king high horse for one second, they are not the ones in charge of this whole thing, sitting up posing and talking so perfectly all the time because we're on a pageant.

'I was actually a beauty queen. Her [Brook] and I are the realest people here. I'm so sorry that they don't know what it's like to have real friends in the world.'

She continued, 'So they're trying to rally people together to be like "They're mean girls", f--k off we're not in high school. We're real bitches. We're standing on business. We're saying what the f--k we think and we're calling out bullsh-t.'

Brook then interrupted and said, 'I don't think we're mean girls, I think we're real bitches and the fact that you're not a part of us...'

The unaired scenes surfacing comes after viewers saw that at the dinner party Brook, Gia and Bec - who fans have branded 'mean girls' - didn't hold back with their thoughts on their co-stars.

First up was Brook, who not only called Stella 'dumb' but also told her, 'Hey babe, while you're at it, get the stripper boots off. If you're going to buy stripper boots, buy 100 per cent lamb, don't buy fake leather.'

She then went in on Alissa and told her, 'Shut up, Alissa. You ratchet idiot.'

'Ultimately, you want to be fake as usual,' Gia said mocking Alissa's voice before adding, 'Babe, take your hair extensions out and chill.'

Bec also said, 'You wonder why everyone hates you babe... You roll your eyes.'

And as Brook kept mockingly saying 'loser' after their dramatic arguments, Gia and Bec laughed along. However, the next day at the commitment ceremony Brook, Gia and Bec seemed to have a change of heart and went on to apologise.

Bec kicked things off and said, 'Alissa I need to apologise to you because my delivery of what I said to you was unacceptable. The way I spoke to you last night, I need to take accountability for how cruel I was to both of you... It was mean and I can assure you it won't happen again.'

Gia also told her co-stars, 'Firstly, I want to apologise to the entire group, yesterday my behaviour was really not okay. Especially I want to focus on Alissa and David though because I really came at you and I didn't have enough information to go off... I went crazy and I really want you to know that I'm genuinely sorry... And Stella as well, joining in with Brook and going over the top, it was just no okay.'

And Brook admitted, 'I just want to say, especially to Alissa and Stella, I'm extremely sorry for my actions last night. I feel so much guilt and regret today. I did take it too far last night. There's no excuse for that behaviour and I'm really sorry, I took it too far and I shouldn't have.'

Soon after though, Brook abruptly quit the experiment (she's now back with her ex, pregnant and engaged fyi) and Gia and Bec have gone back to being enemies.

We say it every year and that's because it's absolutely true - the latest series of MAFS Australia has been WILD.

From Brook Crompton screaming at Alissa Fay and Stella Mickunaite during the second commitment ceremony to Tyson Gordon making it clear he does not want to marry a 'woke' woman - we've been left speechless.

Another Married at First Sight Australia series 13 cast member whose had us all sorts of confused is groom Chris Nield who during his audition tape admitted his turn offs are 'fake tan, needy and fat people'.

His comments ruffled EVERYONE's feathers - his wife's, his co-stars and viewers (including us) - and despite claiming the reason he said his comments were because he's 'always been around boys', Brook couldn't move past it.

She abruptly quit the experiment twice - during Intimacy week and then again at the second commitment ceremony - and now her ex-husband Chris has spoken out about her.

'I just don't think she was in the right place for a new relationship to form,' he told the Daily Mail.

The MAFS groom went on to claim, 'Obviously, finding out during the show that she'd slept with her ex two days before we actually got married… looking at it now, I'm just feeling like if she was doing that, she wasn't ready.'

Chris speaking out comes after Brook confirmed that not only is she back with her ex-boyfriend, but they're also engaged and having a baby.

Opening up about reconnecting just two weeks after she quit the experiment, Brook said, 'We were both like, "OK, if it didn’t work back then, what are we going to do to make it work now?” but Harry invited me away to the Maldives a couple of weeks later for a surfing trip with his family friends and that just cemented things for me.

'We just had the most beautiful time. We were better than we had ever been,' she told Women's Day.

Chris, on the other hand, has seemingly poked fun at his life outside the show.

'Woke up, natural tan, not needy, single, reta, someone's definitely pregnant, mum loves me, life's good,' he wrote alongside a video of him working topless.

Love Island legend Olivia Attwood’s split from footballer husband Bradley Dack is undoubtedly one of the biggest showbiz stories of the year so far, but the reality star and presenter has mostly kept quiet on the details of her break-up – until now, that is.

It was revealed that Olivia and Bradley had parted ways at the start of the year and things have progressively gotten messier since then, with the 2017 Islander recently pictured kissing radio co-host Pete Wicks on a night out while Bradley has reportedly rekindled his relationship with former flame Emily Rose Moloney.

Olivia has now broken her silence following the latest reports to reveal the real reason that for the ‘breakdown of their relationship’.

‘I have stood by Brad for the last ten years during which he lied and cheated on me multiple times,’ she wrote on Instagram.

‘The breakdown of our relationship is because of this.’

She candidly continued, ‘I was in love with him and the potential I saw in him and wanted always to help him try to be the best version of himself – as I did for 10 years – covering up. Lying to my family and friends. Arranging therapy. Believing the grovelling apologies.’

‘I of course now feel like a f**king idiot (especially as more things come to the surface). I never wanted to say any of this. I find the whole situation utterly humiliating,’ Olivia added.

‘But some of the disgusting things written about me in the last few weeks just blow my mind – and of curse sadly it’s always fellow females doing the writing.

‘This January when I was confronted at the screening of one of my shows by someone reporting to me yet another night he had gone back with a random girl – I decided it was time to finally leave.’

Olivia went on to confirm that she was ‘dating’ once again. ‘I’m getting up every single day even when I have cried all night to film the shows I love filming, record my podcast, record my radio show, shoot campaigns and somewhere in there TRY to move on.’

Bradley Dack's representatives have been contacted for comment.

Nathan Katnoria is heat and Closer online’s senior digital writer. He became obsessed with Love Island when Malin Andersson came back to confront Terry Walsh in series two and hasn’t looked back since. When he’s not interviewing former Islanders, Nathan is scrolling through their Instagram feeds for relationship updates and piping hot tea.

It's safe to say that this year's brides and grooms on MAFS Australia have been delivering the drama.

Take Chris Nield and Brook Crompton - one of the first couples to walk down the aisle - for example. Chris almost immediately caused a stir with his controversial comments about appearance, which did NOT go down well with viewers or his wife.

It’s fair to say that his relationship with Brook didn’t get off to the smoothest start either as she was reluctant to share a kiss on their wedding day, but are they still together now? Of course they're not.

Chris and Brook had a bit of a rocky start to married life from the moment it was time to seal the deal with a kiss on their wedding day and she suggested a peck on the cheek instead. Although Chris seemed okay at the time, he later fumed, 'Like, at least kiss me on the f***ing wedding stand.'

Things managed to get better during the wedding reception, but it didn't last long. After Brook discovering that her husband's turn offs are 'fake tan, needy and fat people' - they hit a rough patch. Despite insisting she needed time away and her sister advising her to leave him, Brook stayed on the show.

They AGAIN tried to make things work but following Intimacy week, where they did sip and paint and then Chris ran her a bubble bath with Champagne and face masks, Brook refused to participate.

It then came to light that Brook had left the experiment and returned to her family home but in shocking scenes, she returned for the second dinner party and in the words of their co-star Rachel Gilmore 'all hell broke loose'.

Brook's personality did a 180 as viewers saw during the infamous second dinner party where she lashed out at Alissa Fay and Stella Mickunaite.

Then, during the second commitment ceremony it became super clear that Brook and Chris were not going to work and she admitted, 'There's things and actions that Chris has done that I can't move past.'

And before the experts were able to grill Brook following her behaviour at the dinner party, she made a sudden exit. Telling producers she needed the toilet, she left the building and didn't say goodbye to her co-stars or on-screen husband.

Since then, things have taken a even more dramatic turn as Brook has not only reunited with her ex-boyfriend Henry, but they're now engaged and she's pregnant with their first child.

Brook and Henry split three months before she began filming MAFS and they reconnected two weeks after she quit the experiment, with Henry proposing on Christmas Day after Brook found out she was pregnant.

'It honestly feels like everything has fallen into place. This is everything I've ever wanted – to be with a partner who supports me and loves me for me,' she told Woman's Day.

MAFS Australia 2026 spoilers ahead. Don't say we didn't warn you...

If you’ve been watching this year’s Married At First Sight Australia then you’ll probably know that this year’s series made history by having its first bisexual bride, Julia Vogl.

Having dated both men and women in the past, Julia walked down the aisle without knowing whether the experts matched her with a bride or a groom. In the end though, she tied the knot with groom Grayson McIvor.

Although their marriage got off to a good start on their wedding day, things between Julia and Grayson quickly fizzled out and they both decided to quit the experiment. It turns out Julia wasn’t single for long though, as she’s just gone public with her new girlfriend.

Julia debuted her latest flame on TikTok as she shared a video of them cosying up to each with the caption, ‘POV: you meet someone who is fluent in Word Salad.’ She added, ‘She just gets me…🤭.’

Fans were loving getting a glimpse of her new relationship, with one commenting, ‘This just feels right.’

Another added, ‘Yesssssss what we LOVE TO SEE 🩷✨,’ while a third wrote, ‘You look so happy 😀 love this 🥰.’

If you’re wondering how Julia and her girlfriend first got together, it turns out that they met just two months after she left the experiment.

Speaking on the MAFS: After the Dinner Party podcast, she said, 'Two months after the experiment finished, I went to do a singing lesson with this particular woman (and apparently I'm not a good singer).

'But I realised I didn't really want her to be my singing teacher and we've been seeing each other since then.'

As for Grayson, who signed up to MAFS Australia after being inspired by his pal Johnny Balbuziente’s love story with Kerry Knight, he’s still single but has admitted he’s ‘open’ to dating.

When we watched the first episode of MAFS Australia we thought Chris Nield would be the most controversial cast member, but oh how we were mistaken.

Don't get us wrong, he's definitely up there with his rogue one liners - Chris literally said 'fake tan, needy and fat people' were his turn offs - however, thanks to the episodes that have aired in the UK we can add Brook Crompton to the controversial list of Married At First Sight Australia series 13 stars.

So, here's everything you need to know about the controversial MAFS star...

Who is Brook Crompton married to on MAFS?

Brook is an OG Married At First Sight bride from series 13 (aka the 2026 series) and the experts paired her with Chris. At first they appeared to hit it off, even though Chris had many doubts about the experiment, the experts and the couplings.

They were great together until they got to watch each other's audition tapes and it went downhill very quickly from there.

After discovering that her husband's turn offs were 'fake tan, needy and fat people', Brook quickly made it clear that she was not feeling their relationship and rang her sister for advice. Despite her sister's advice to leave him, Brook continued in the experiment.

How old is Brook Crompton?

Brook is 27 years old.

Why did Brook Crompton leave MAFS?

So even though she watched her hubby's audition video and was advised to end the relationship by her sister, Brook decided to stay on the show but almost overnight, she practically became a complete different person - more on that in a sec.

During intimacy week, though, Brook and Chris did sip and paint and she was happy about his effort but when Chris ran a bubble bath for her, the mood changed.

Speaking to the producers she admitted, 'Obviously, feeling a little overwhelmed. I was looking forward to some space but he's going out and doing this task to make me feel good but I feel a little bit smothered.

'I've tried to explain that to him so many times and I don't think he's understanding.'

After seeing the bubble bath, face masks and Champagne he set out, she then told producers, 'He's done something so thoughtful for me and it's beautiful but I'm not feeling it at the moment.

'I think after this morning's chat, I don't know if he's really understanding where I'm at still and I don't know how many times I can tell him... It's taking some toll on me and I just need a little bit of space.'

And then at the end of episode 11, she decided to leave the apartments and head home.

Despite leaving the show following Intimacy week, it wasn't the last we saw of Brook as she makes a dramatic return at the second dinner party and let's just say things don't go down well...

What controversial things did Brook Crompton say?

We mentioned Brook became a 'different' person after watching Chris' audition tape and viewers (as well as her cast members) saw a different side to the reality TV star during the Red Flag, Green Flag challenge.

After Stella Mickunaite admitted her husband Filip Gregov didn't get on her nerves, Brook hit back and said, 'I don't believe you. I'm sorry, there is no way. Surely he gets on your nerves... I will say Stella, I think people think it's bullsh-t.'

Brook then told the producers, 'It's obvious, anyone that's the real deal can see it and the fact that she struggled to pick out a red flag, is absolutely bonkers to me.

'My arse you can't figure out a red flag.'

And THEN she went on to say, 'That was good. I needed to vent, I was sick of being "nice girl."'

It wasn't just Stella who faced Brook's 'mean girl' energy because after interrupting the conversation when Alissa Fay was saying her opinion, Brook said, 'Do we want to be here all day? Because Alissa will finish then.'

'Alissa is the expert,' she then mockingly said about her co-star.

To make matters worse, Brook then told the producers, 'I can say this whole experiment so far, I've been so true to myself and saying what I actually feel because I don't care anymore.

'This is the thing - I was all for caring what people thought and I've just [realised], you know what people love me for me when I'm my true honest self. I see so much fakeness around and I'm over it. Now I feel like I'm on fire.'

The next episode was the first commitment ceremony and once again she had ANOTHER row with Stella.

'No one is saying we're not happy for you, like no one has said that. So don't sit up here and make yourself be the victim because that's how it is,' Brook fumed at Stella.

Brook later said, 'Get me out of here. That girl sucks... I'm so pissed off, she just talked out of her arse.

'Everyone's here for themselves but also when you're bursting out that you're in love with him and picking kids names out in five days of course everyone's going to have, you know ideas that it's a little bit fake.

'Prove me wrong, prove everyone wrong because I guarantee everyone is saying it not just me. She's a snitch as well... I never want to see that girl again, don't put me in a room with her.'

Then, after leaving the apartment and heading home, Brook made a dramatic return during the second dinner party and all hell broke loose.

During her THIRD argument with Stella, she tells her, 'You need to have a clue and realise.

'I'm standing up for myself because I see someone like you: "I'm so deep, I'm so deep." I don't think you're deep, I just think you're f**king dumb.'

After Stella hits back and then leaves the table, Brook continues her attack with, 'Hey babe, while you're at it, get the stripper boots off.

'If you're going to buy stripper boots, buy 100 per cent lamb, don't buy fake leather.'

And in upcoming scenes - during the second commitment ceremony - fans will see the experts call Brook out on her behaviour and after telling everyone that she needs to go to the toilet, Brook quits the show and that's that.

Has Brook Crompton apologised?

Following her controversial stint on MAFS, Brook has apologised but after all her uncomfortable scenes aired on TV. Posting a statement on Instagram, she said, 'Last night and the past few episodes of Married At First Sight was an extremely difficult watch.

'What you saw last night was the worst version of myself, and unfortunately Alissa and Stella were on the receiving end of that. I want to firstly, sincerely apologise to Alissa and Stella for my words and the hurt that I have caused.

'My actions were appalling and not at all a reflection of the kindness and respect that you both deserve and I hope in time you can forgive me. I am truly sorry.'

She went on to say, 'To the other couples in the experiment and audience who had to witness my behaviour, I am deeply sorry.

'Bullying should never be condoned, and I am extremely embarrassed by the way that I acted. This dinner party was filmed in August last year, and since then, I have had time to reflect and learn from my actions. This behaviour is not a reflection of who I am at my core, and I hope that Australia will one day see this.

'I know trust is rebuilt through actions, not just words, and I will continue doing the work to be better. I'm looking forward to moving on with my life with more kindness and hope that those watching will choose to do the same.'

What is Brook Crompton doing now?

If you thought Brook left you shocked during her MAFS stint, then sit yourself down because her life has changed A LOT since she quit the experiment in August 2025.

Fast forward to March 2026 and not only has Brook reunited with her ex-boyfriend from before the experiment, but she's also pregnant with his child AND they're engaged.

It was arguably one of the most uncomfortable moments in MAFS Australia history and now Brook Crompton has spoken out following her behaviour during the second dinner party.

ICYMI, the Married At First Sight Australia series 13 cast had their second dinner party recently and things went from zero to 100 real quick after Brook made her dramatic 'surprise bitches' arrival.

She'd recently left the experiment after a rocky time of things with her husband Chris Nield and while you'd think her focus would be on him, you'd be wrong. Brook went in all guns blazing at Stella Mickunaite and Alissa Fay during the dinner party. She branded Stella 'dumb' before telling her, 'Hey babe, while you're at it, get the stripper boots off.

'If you're going to buy stripper boots, buy 100 per cent lamb, don't buy fake leather.'

And after Alissa told Brook that her behaviour towards Stella was 'not nice', Brook slammed Alissa and said, 'Shut up, Alissa. You ratchet idiot.'

It turns out that the dinner party was as uncomfortable filming as it was viewing because some of the MAFS stars opened up about Brook's behaviour.

'I was like, "What's happening?" this is an attack, it was like all hell broke loose. I definitely think Brook had unfinished business with everyone and she came here to finish it. No one was safe,' Rachel Gilmore told producers.

SPOILERS AHEAD, FYI

Brook had banned any comments from being left on her Instagram account which shouldn't come as a surprise seeing as in upcoming scenes she abruptly quits the experiment. During the second commitment ceremony after the experts call Brook out for her behaviour, she asks to go to the toilet and never returns.

She's also now back with her ex-boyfriend and not only are they engaged but they're expecting a baby, too.

During the second dinner party it all kicked off when Brook Crompton made her shock return - after she'd previously left her apartment following Intimacy week with hubby Chris Nield - and let's just say, she didn't hold back.

Not only did she call Stella Mickunaite 'dumb' before telling her, 'get the stripper boots off', but she also shouted, 'Shut up. You ratchet idiot,' to fellow bride Alissa Fay.

It was equally uncomfortable for the viewers (us) as her co-stars, and now Stella's husband Filip Gregov has revealed what it was really like while they were filming.

'For some reason, Stella just seemed to trigger something in Brook big time.. I think Brook overstepped her mark, definitely.

'Maybe upon reflection, she's probably going to regret a lot of things that she's done in the experiment,' he told the Daily Mail.

Not only has Brook come under fire following her stint on MAFS but Bec Zacharia and Gia Fleur have been slammed as their behaviour has left fans branding them as 'mean girls'.

'Catching up on "Mean Girls" also known as #MAFS Australia. I’m all for a bit of drama but that dinner party was shocking. Brook, Gia and Bec are too much,' wrote one viewer.

Another tweeted, 'I think the "mean girls" are jealous of Stella and Alissa because they have a lot of positives - Stella is very intelligent and Alissa resembles Margot Robbie?'

One more added, 'Wow I’m speechless, this has got to be the first MAFS group with the nastiest girls, so unnecessary, mean girl energy is not a vibe. Brook is such a nasty bully and Gia and Bec joining in, disgusting honestly, they should be removed for that behaviour.'

And speaking of Gia, Filip also spoke about what his co-star was really like while filming.

'[Their relationship] came across as really perfect,' he began before going on to say, 'I knew Scotty [McCristal] was fully tapped in…

'I always tried to believe G's intentions were the best, but she kind of let herself down with the interactions she had with the other women.'

WATCH: So it turns out the MAFS commitment ceremonies and dinner parties take HOURS to film 😳

They do say if your closest friends and family don't like your partner it's a tell-tale sign it won't work and when Made in Chelsea girlie Jules Pollard declared Demi Sims was not the perfect partner for Jazz Saunders it felt like an omen of things to come.

Jazz and Demi split in December 2025 after meeting in the summer, with Jazz recently revealing she now has feelings for Inga Valentiner - something Jules also hinted at.

But how exactly did Jules know that the former TOWIE star wasn't The One for Jazz? All we were seeing between them was lovey dovey TikTok's, cute selfies and the duo complimenting each other at every turn.

Well, when Jules stopped by heat Towers for a catch up (alongside Kit Patterson and Chuggs Wallis) we asked her just that.

'Great question,' she started and thank you very much Julia, we are hard hitting journalists after all.

'I think when there is no trust in a relationship,' she began, 'I don't know how anyone can have a good relationship when there's no trust there.'

If anybody saw what was going on between the two, it was Jules. Although MIC viewers and followers of the former couple thought it was all sunshine and roses, we would hazard a guess Jules witnessed any fall outs and feuds.

'I think that's what relationships are built on, that's what I think. I don't want to say too much,' she added.

Luckily, Kit was on hand to offer Jules some kind words of support like the cute co-star he is.

'I think that's a good answer,' he agreed, 'because you're right.'

'Yeah,' she nodded 'I am right.'

Well she was, wasn't she? Jazz and Demi are no more and Jules knew from the get-go it wasn't built to last.

'Jules is always right,' Chuggs threw in and we do feel like there was just a sprinkling of sarcasm in his remark.

Emily Vierke is a digital writer who has dabbled in the world of celeb, beauty and fashion. She knows all the goss on the cast of Made in Chelsea, is a BIG Lauren Sintès and is forever obsessed with the queen of one-liners, Lucy "why is everyone getting up in my grill?" Watson. Long may she reign.

While the public storm engulfing the Royal Family rages on as King Charles continues to be heckled over his brother Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s alleged misdeeds and fierce criticism of the monarchy only gets louder, it seems Sarah Ferguson has been dealing with her own unique set of issues.

Having been sensationally stripped of her titles alongside Andrew’s own fall from grace last year, the last time the disgraced former Duchess, 66, has been seen on British soil was in December, attending the christening of her granddaughter in London.

There has been speculation of her whereabouts, including sojourns in the Alps and the UAE, ahead of lengthy stays at uber-exclusive wellness resorts in Switzerland and Ireland. Then a source revealed to us last week that, after it was claimed she had told friends that she ‘needs money’, Sarah is now staying at the home of her good friend Priscilla Presley in the US as she reportedly attempts to sell the rights to an explosive tell-all to publishers for a cool £2 million.

However, after it was reported that she had ‘ended up with a string of rejections and zero response in a few cases’, with no business wanting to associate themselves with the Epstein scandal, further reports claimed that she had been considering working on a TV show in which she helps scientists clone the late Queen’s corgis – a claim a spokesperson for Sarah has denied.

Now, we’re told that her seemingly increasingly desperate attempts to support her new post-royal life are just the start of Sarah’s apparent erratic behaviour, as a source says she’s also been enjoying a tipple and ranting to friends about the unexpected senior royal she blames for her downfall.

An insider say, ‘Fergie’s very bitter, she’s angry and feels wronged by everyone in the family. She doesn’t have the guts to confront anyone but when she’s had a couple of drinks that’s when the liquid courage kicks in and when she starts unloading. Camilla’s been getting the brunt of Sarah’s fury. They were very close friends for years so Sarah feels incredibly betrayed.’

Sarah has previously admitted to heavy drinking, confessing to Oprah Winfrey back in 2010 that she had been ‘in the gutter’ due to drinking ahead of her meeting with ‘the fake sheikh’, an undercover reporter who had been promised access to Andrew for £500,000.

Sarah told the US TV powerhouse, ‘I haven't faced the devil in the face [watched the footage filmed at the time] because I was in the gutter at that moment. I'm aware of the fact that I've been drinking, you know – that I was not in my right place.’

When she and Andrew were given their eviction notice for Royal Lodge last year, Sarah was also reported to have been spending time in ‘the dog house’ – a pub attached to their 30 room former home.

Sarah has only ever admitted to an unhealthy addiction to food and not alcohol, drugs or medication, but new questions have emerged over her reliance on prescription medication following the release of emails, allegedly exchanged between Peter Mandleson and Jeffrey Esptein, as part of the Epstein Files.

In one email, allegedly between the pair in which they discuss the fallout of the sting operation, Epstein appears to ask Mandelson, ‘Does she admit her medication abuse and then go into rehab?’, to which he replies, ‘That's an option. But awful for her and the girls.’

Best-selling author and historian Andrew Lownie also claimed Sarah had a ‘drug problem’ during her time at the ski resort of Verbier, which she claims she later replaced, ‘by mixing alcohol and diet pills’.

Now the source claims Sarah has hit a new all-time low as she struggles to accept that she is no longer a part of the royal fold, while refusing to accept any accountability.

The insider says, ‘What people don’t see is just how low she’s sunk, every time she opens a paper or goes online it’s another reminder that she’s completely on the outside and there’s no real way back, and she’s really struggling to come to terms with that.

‘But instead of dealing with it, she’s numbing it, and that’s only making everything worse because it fuels this cycle where she starts ranting and then feels even more isolated the next day. Not that she’ll take any accountability, if you ask her she’s got every right to speak her mind.’

And we’re told that Sarah’s refusal to accept what she feels is the ultimate ‘rejection’ from the family stems from the fact that she shared such a close bond with the family, specially Queen Camilla; describing their friendship just over a year ago as ‘so close’ given that Camilla had also been friends with her mother.

The insider says, ‘After everything she’s been through with them she feels she’s owed a heck of a lot more than being cut off without any proper explanation. She refuses to accept that people can just shut her out and move on like she doesn’t matter. She says they owe her at least a conversation and a shred of sympathy, especially someone like Camilla, who she once considered a close ally.

‘The rejection is what’s really pushing her over the edge. The more shut out she feels, the more desperate she becomes for some kind of response, and it just turns into this vicious cycle.’

.Andrew has strenuously denied any wrongdoing and there is no evidence of any wrongdoing by Sarah. However, questions have been raised by the public over Sarah’s seemingly close friendship with Epstein.

Sarah was forced to begin her onslaught of public grovelling last September after being caught red handed when a shocking email between her and the now-deceased Epstein was made public.

In the exchange, sent in April 2011, a month after she had denounced their friendship in a public statement; in which she said she 'abhor[s] paedophilia and any sexual abuse of children', Sarah refers to sex trafficker Epstein as a ‘steadfast, generous and supreme friend’. It later emerged that Epstein had given her £15,000 the previous year to help pay off her debts.

The fallout was monumental, with one royal commentator summarising, ‘Her lucrative children’s book career is in tatters. Her career as a romantic novelist is also dead and buried. No respectable charity will touch her with a barge pole - the door to redemption through good works has been slammed in her face.’

But the scandal only deepened earlier this year when further emails were released. In one interaction she allegedly describes Epstein as ‘being the brother I have always wished for’ while in another she writes, ‘You are a legend. I really don't have the words to describe, my love, gratitude for your generosity and kindness…I am at your service. Just marry me.’

Meanwhile the source says Sarah struggles to move on from what had undoubtedly been her darkest time to date and can’t help but feel that the extended family she had been a part of for so long has abandoned her.

‘From her point of view, the only mistake she’s made is trusting Andrew so it feels incredibly unfair that the family she’s been a part of for most of her adult life is turning on her,’ the insider says.

‘By the time evening rolls around, that frustration has built to the point where she’s almost impossible to deal with. She goes from feeling sorry for herself to turning her anger on the rest of the family for abandoning her. Other times she flips completely and believes she can try to charm her way back in, acting like she can smooth it all over, which is obviously never going to happen. She’s completely erratic, it’s no wonder everyone’s cut her off.’

The 2026 series of Married At First Sight Australia has finally made its way to UK TV screens and honestly, we don't know if this is a good or bad thing.

On the one hand the social experiment turned romance reality TV show is undeniably entertaining and once in a blue moon creates a successful marriage. However, it also gives characters like Tyson Gordon airtime and we can't help but wonder, is that a good thing?

(The answer is unquestionably and irrevocably: no)

The groom has hit headlines for his sexist remarks about women that sound like something you would hear on an Andrew Tate podcast and we all watched that Louis Theroux 'Manosphere' documentary, right? Isn't it about time we stopped giving such men the attention they are so deeply obsessed with?

'I want a woman that is feminine, which obviously you are,' Tyson told the bride he was set to marry, 'but also submissive.'

'A little bit of a problem,' he told her when she asked if he was making judgements on her body count, 'the problem to me is that you enjoy lust over actually finding that soulmate.'

Anyone else what to scream at the TV screen? Pray tell, Tyson, how is you sleeping with over 30 women different to Steph sleeping with 20 men?

He was also RAGING that Steph's two years older than him.

She enjoys stalking Love Island girlies Indiyah Polack and Matilda Draper for outfit inspo nearly as much as she enjoys rewatching the clip of Maura Higgins confronting Tom Walker for gossiping about her to the Love Island

If you ask us, Married At First Sight UK star Amy Kenyon gave us one of the most iconic moments in the history of the show last year when she turned up to her final vows in a black dress to mark the ‘death’ of her marriage to on-screen husband Luke DeBono.

Although their relationship got off to a good start on their wedding day and honeymoon, things took a turn for the worse when Amy admitted she felt ‘icky’ about the compliments Luke gave her and their relationship never quite recovered.

Fast forward to the present day and Amy is appearing on the current series of Celebrity Ex on the Beach, which means she could be about to come face-to-face with Luke once again. So, almost two years on from the experiment, how are things between the MAFS UK exes? Spoiler alert: not good.

Speaking exclusively to heatworld at the Celebrity Ex on the Beach launch party, Amy admitted that she was 'petrified' that Luke was going to arrive as one of her exes.

'The whole time I was anticipating my ex from MAFS entering the show,' she explained, before turning to co-star John Grimes (aka one half of Jedward) and asking, 'You could feel it, couldn’t you?'

Amy continued, 'It was very, very evident. My heart just dropped every single time [the Tablet of Terror went off].'

It would appear that Amy and Luke still haven't patched things up after their on-screen split as when asked if they're still in touch, the reality star told us, 'Luke was blocked after MAFS and he may still be blocked now.'

If we’re honest, it’s not much of a surprise they’re no longer in touch after Amy vowed to ‘never speak’ to her ex last year.

Responding to a fan who asked, ‘Have you spoken to whatever his name/face was?’, Amy wrote, ‘No I have not or never will speak to bumhole terroriser/he who shall not be named xox.’ Her scathing response was, of course, referring to the moment Luke admitted, ‘I wish I got down on my knees and terrorised your bumhole.’

While Amy is looking for love on TV once again, Luke revealed last year that he was back in the dating game when he flew out of the country for a first date.

'A beautiful opportunity to go and meet someone face to face for the first time after talking online for a few months. I was a little bit nervous but in the end it turned out to be an exciting and beautiful journey. And I’d do it all over again,' he admitted on Instagram at the time.

'I decided to follow how I felt, go out there, put myself in that position, and allow myself to enjoy a new place with a new person. It turned out great!'

Nathan Katnoria is heat and Closer online's Senior Digital Writer. He writes about all the latest and greatest reality TV, including Love Island, Made in Chelsea, Geordie Shore, Big Brother and Love is Blind UK and has interviewed everyone from Charlotte Crosby to Chloe Brockett and Miles Nazaire to Megan Barton-Hanson.

It’s only Tuesday and it’s already been a BIG week for reality telly baby news.

Just a few hours after Big Brother 2025 lovebirds Elsa Rae and Marcus John announced they were expecting their first child together, Love Island 2022 star Paige Thorne confirmed that she’s expecting her first baba with boyfriend, Drew Wedlake – and the mum-to-be is GLOWING.

Paige dropped the news on Instagram on Monday 30 March with an adorable beach video of the couple embracing while holding up their baby scan (major rom-com x Emma Roberts acting coy on a windy beach energy) and we are beaming for her here at heat Towers.

She captioned the post, 'Half of me & half of you 👶🤍 You are already loved infinitely, baby Wedlake due September ♾️.'

Naturally, Paige’s comments section quickly turned into a mini Love Island reunion. Her Love Island bestie Dami Hope - the same Love Island hunk we all insisted she had a spark with before she met Drew - came through with the sweetest message, writing, 'Can’t wait to be the best Unc ❤️❤️.' No, YOU'RE crying.

Also popping up with the love was Paige’s Love Island 2022 co-star Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu, who wrote, 'Omg congratulations 🥹❤️,' while Chyna Mills commented, 'Aww congratulations 🥹💗💗.'

For anyone needing a quick refresher on Paige and Drew’s timeline, Paige went Instagram official with her new man back in July 2025. At the time, she told followers, 'I’m not usually one to share what goes on in my private life but I couldn’t be happier, can’t wait to make so many more memories with u 🤍🪽.' Translation: yes, she was keeping it private, but no, she couldn’t resist a hard launch.

The couple then took things a step further with their red carpet debut in October 2025.

Paige, of course, has had her fair share of headline-making love stories over the years – and if you watched Love Island 2022, you’ll know the girl didn’t exactly get an easy ride in the romance department.

The OG went into the villa all sweetness and smiles and quickly became one of the season’s most-loved girlies… but her love life? A rollercoaster with no lap bar. Paige coupled up with Jacques O’Neill and for a while it looked like she’d found her person. Then Casa Amor happened and the vibes shifted hard. Jacques’ flirty behaviour and choices caused chaos. In the end, Jacques left the villa, and Paige was left in tears.

Enter Adam Collard (again). The OG bombshell strolled back into the villa a human plot twist, ready to cause carnage. He immediately set his sights on Paige and the vibes were on fire within a matter of days.

The two ended up coupling up, made it all the way to the final, and left the villa together. But post-show reality hit, the relationship didn’t last. Remember 'nugget gate'? What a time.

Anyway, huge congrats to Paige and Drew 💕💕

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer Online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

When we saw the trailer for Married At First Sight Australia, we honestly thought Chris Nield would be the most controversial star on series 13 but oh how we were wrong.

His wife Brook Crompton currently takes the lead and we've not even met intruder groom Tyson Gordon, who has been described as 'giving manosphere' by his wife - however we're here to chat about Chris.

From the moment we met the OG groom we knew he'd be involved in huge storylines, but we've been surprised that it's mostly down to his wife... So without further ado, here's your need to know on the controversial groom.

Who is Chris Nield married to on MAFS?

Chris is an OG groom from MAFS Australia 2026 and the experts paired him with Brook. Despite being skeptical that the experiment would work, Chris still applied for and appeared on the show.

'Obviously there's a reason people go on this show and there's a reason you've got "experts" doing it... I hope it works but I'm doubtful it will. I'm very skeptical,' he told producers.

Chris then went on to say in his vows, 'I've been pretty skeptical about this whole experiment. Statistically the numbers don't look great and at times I feel the experts got their degrees from a cereal box.

'In this case the positive and potentials out way the disbelief so I'm relying on us to prove my skepticism wrong, so with that let's try and be the point zero zero zero zero one per cent that works from this experiment.'

What controversial things did Chris Nield say on MAFS?

It quickly became clear that Chris would be a controversial star after he threw shade at the MAFS experts qualifications, he then went on to claim that there was nothing he wasn't good at because, 'If I'm not good at it, I won't be doing it.'

Confessing that people 'either love or hate me', he then went on to say that his turn offs are 'fake tan, needy and fat people'.

Chris continued, 'I hate seeing orange. Like if I can see orange... Yuck. Most people who wear fake tan are insecure.

'I'm a little bit picky when it comes to looks and personality. [I like] dumb and hot - for a relationship no, for sex yes.'

Chris then added, 'Please prove me wrong and give me a sexy brunette tanned girl on a platter.'

After Brook watched Chris' audition tape she was floored.

Has Chris Nield apologised?

So Chris did apologise, but only after he was confronted by his wife Brook.

'For me I think it's this mentality I've had of always being around the boys and trying to impress everyone,' he told her.

'I've said them in environment to guys but I'd never go out of my way to say it to a woman.'

Then during the first commitment ceremony, he told the experts and his co-stars, 'I was being really blunt with my labelling of terms.

'I've been playing footie for my whole life, I've been in this environment where it sort of promotes this sort of behaviour.'

How old is Chris Nield?

Chris is 31 years old.

Are Chris Nield and Brook Crompton still together?

MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD...

It was pretty obvious from Chris' doubts before the show even began that it was highly unlikely that his marriage would work and we were right.

Chris and Brook's marriage broke down the moment she heard his audition tape and although she tried to make a go of things during Intimacy Week, she ended up leaving their apartment and going back to her family home.

Brook then returned for the second dinner party, barely said anything to Chris and instead had rows with Stella Mickunaite and Alissa Fay.

During the second commitment ceremony, the experts grilled Chris and Brook about their relationship and she abruptly quit the show.

What is Chris Nield doing now?

Since leaving MAFS, Chris seems to be working his former job or working out.

He also seems to have made a joke about his time on the show. In an Instagram Reel, he posted a video of himself topless at work and wrote, 'Woke up, natural tan, not needy, single, reta, someone's definitely pregnant, mum loves me, life's good.'

Oh and FYI, his pregnancy comment is because his ex Brook is back with her ex-boyfriend, engaged and pregnant with his baby.

What is Chris Nield's Instagram?

WATCH: So it turns out the MAFS commitment ceremonies and dinner parties take HOURS to film 😳

Eden-Olivia is the deputy editor of heatworld and she’s worked in showbiz since 2016. She loves watching MAFS UK and AU and one of her favourite contestants of all time is the iconic Collins Christian.

ICYMI, a whole host of famous faces are taking part in the new series of Celebrity Ex on the Beach - we say 'famous faces' there is a LOT of reality TV guys and girls, some former pop stars and even a soap actress.

The season starts tonight (Tuesday 31 March) and we managed to catch up with the OG line-up last week to discuss all things coastal chaos ahead of the first episode.

One of the chats we had was with Curtis Pritchard and Toby Aromolaran, both of who are no stranger to dating shows.

Naturally, both of the All Stars were hesitant to spill too much tea but we had managed to watch the first two eps and had some inside knowledge on which exes would be slo-mo walking out of the ocean. With this in mind we quizzed Curtis on what it was like to be reunited with his All Stars 2025 ex, Danielle Sellers.

'Lovely to see her,' he revealed to us in the most Curtis way ever, 'great to see her again.'

'I don't want to give too much away but we've always been great friends,' he went on, 'even in the first Love Island [All Stars] when it didn't end up working out together.'

Curtis was of course caught up in a mini love triangle during his second stint on the dating show when he was supposed to be romancing Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu but then Danielle rocked up and turned his head.

'She's a lovely girl, very mature, very emotionally mature, unbelievably good looking,' he went on.

'We just had a great connection, and that's all I'll say,' he declared.

During All Stars series two, Curtis ended up sticking with Ekin-Su and the duo made it to the final and came in third place, however they split three months after leaving Love Island.

We can't imagine Ekin-Su rocking up Ex on the Beach but stranger things have happened. Millie Court sharing a kiss with Curtis on All Stars 2026, for example, that was definitely unprecedented.

Emily Vierke  is a digital writer for heat and Closer Online who enjoys stalking The Love Island girlies for fashion inspo especially Indiyah Polack and Yasmin Pettet. Emily has a soft spot for TOWIE OGs Amy and Harry, mainly because she was also not aware that the capital of India was New Delhi she DID, however, know that know it wasn't France.

The thing about taking part in shows like Love Island is that when the relationship inevitably comes crashing down, everybody in the whole wide world wants to know the ins and outs of what happened. Just ask All Stars winners Samie Elishiand Ciaran Davies, we don't think they have had a day of peace since they won the show - and split three weeks later. Another Love Island duo whose break up was widely spoken about, dissected and analysed was series 12 controversial couple Meg Moore and Dejon Noel-Williams.

Although they stayed together from start to finish during their time on the romance reality TV series, Meg and Dejon sure had a tumultuous time with their relationship dividing viewer opinions. It also didn't help that, as individuals, Meg and Dejon often found themselves going head to head with several Islanders including fan favourite Shakira Khan and winner Toni Laites.

Meg and Dejon split in December 2025 but four months after confirming their break up the couple have been spotted looking VERY cosy indeed with fans wondering if they are now back together.

Photos and videos can be found over on TikTok with the couple having attended a press event together on 20 March 2026, they also enjoyed a dinner in each other's company.

'They looked very cosy and kept talking across their table, but it was clear they didn’t want to be seen,' a source told The Sun.

The news outlet also has secretive snaps of the former lovers smiling as they enjoyed a meal together.

'Meg was very hesitant when asked for a photo by diners and seemed very on edge the whole night,' the source added.

During their villa stint, the OG Islanders just missed out on the final after the dumped contestants returned and voted to send a couple home. Meg and Dejon ended up with the highest number of votes with the general consensus being that Meg liked Dejon more than he liked her. Andrada Pop, who had shared some majorly flirty chats with Dejon, was vocal about her decision to send them home.

'I generally feel like you're going at it with pure heart and when you are upset you want to speak about,' she told Meg.

Andrada also mentioned a moment between the couple that saw Dejon telling Meg to be quiet because of the cameras.

'It was so cringe to watch and we felt so bad for you,' Andrada added.

Rumour has it that the Islanders are 'just friends,' although neither of them are yet to speak out on the reunion.

Dressed to impress to attend the Oscars last week, Kim Kardashian looked every part the Hollywood leading lady, and we're told the world’s most famous reality star now has set her sights on a date with Hollywood’s all-time golden boy, F1 star Brad Pitt.

It was revealed last week that her current rumoured boyfriend, Lewis Hamilton, could be set to work with the hearthrob once again when the director of the duo's 2025 racing flick confirmed the exciting news that the team are ‘already working on a sequel’.

Now, while it’s early days, with the team behind the blockbuster no doubt still basking the glow of their multi Oscar wins, it’s highly likely that Brad will be asked to return, given the star power he wields.

But little do many fans know that Lewis also played a crucial role in the making of the movie. Not only was he a co-producer alongside Brad, the film’s director Joseph Kosinski also revealed the Ferrari pro actually had the very daunting job of being Brad’s ‘driving instructor’.

Meanwhile, Kim is believed to have been dating Lewis for around two months, which means the movie had already been filmed before she even had the chance to engineer a meet up with Brad; a golden opportunity we’re told she isn’t going to miss this time around. In fact, we're told she's already masterminding their formal introduction and knows that being associated with Brad could boost her star power to a whole new level.

‘Kim’s very aware that certain circles in the entertainment world have never accepted her, and that’s something that’s always bothered her. Being able to be seen out and about with THE Brad Pitt would really give her a sense of vindication because he’s pretty much the Hollywood prom king,’ an insider says.

‘It would be such a big win for her. Lewis and Brad talk all the time and apparently he’s already put Kim on speakerphone with Brad, which was a big thrill for her because she’s a huge fan. She was totally giddy about it afterwards and kept saying she couldn’t believe she’d just been chatting with Brad Pitt like it was no big deal.'

And the source says that if her romance with Lewis continues to go from strength to strength, lingerie entrepreneur Kim – who crossed paths with Brad briefly at the 2020 Oscars - is already planning doubles dates with the actor, 62, and his girlfriend, jewellery designer Ines De Ramon, 33, when production for the new movie gets underway.

They tell us, ‘Kim says it’s only a matter of time before she and Lewis are hanging out with Brad and his girlfriend [Ines]. She’s not the type to get starstruck but it will definitely be hard for her to keep her cool when she finally does meet Brad in real life and she knows she has to be careful not to overdo it. She doesn’t want to come off like she’s trying too hard.

‘Of course things with Lewis have to stay on track for this to all happen but Kim is confident they will, she says they’re in love.’

It’s been mere weeks since the pair, who have been friends for over a decade, were first reported to have enjoyed a ‘romantic meetup’ in Paris in February and it seems Kim, 45, and Lewis, 41, cannot keep away from each other.

Days later, the F1 champion and the lingerie entrepreneur were also rumoured to have splashed out around £120,000 on a weekend in the star-studded Cotswolds. The pair were not spotted together but were seen arriving at the same hotel via their private jets, where they are believed to have enjoyed exclusive use of the venue’s swanky spa.

Then, of course, came what appeared to be their much-anticipated ‘hard launch’ at the Super Bowl 2026, where they were caught on camera sitting next to each other whilst laughing and evidently flirting. One lip reader even suggested that Lewis had told Kim that he would introduce her to his mum, who was ‘very excited’ to meet her.

And while meeting the parents may be a daunting idea for Kim, the source says her potential meeting with Brad is already giving her the collywobbles.

‘She’s already strategizing about everything from what she should wear, to what to say when she finally does hangout with Brad,’ the insider says.

‘She wants to be fully prepared, so she’s been reading old interviews and trying to figure out the best way to impress him. She’s the type that loves a challenge and she knows she’s going to need to make a strong first impression to knock out all the preconceived ideas he’s probably got about her.'

They add, ‘She knows this is the kind of situation where she’s going to have to prove herself but she doesn't see that as a bad thing, it's actually kind of exciting because she’s reached a stage in her life where 99% of the time people totally fawn all over her and truth be told it gets a little old and boring.’

Of course, Kim also knows the star power a name like Brad would bring to her own brand SKIMS, having already collaborated with some of the biggest names in music, including Charlie XCX, Sabrina Carpenter, Cardi B, Lana Del Ray and Post Malone. And the source says that with so much to play for, Kim is already ‘stressing’ over a meeting that may, or may not, materialise.

‘They haven’t even got a plan set yet and she’s already stressing out about this,’ we’re told.

‘But that’s Kim, she thinks ten steps ahead because she always wants to be prepared. She says this isn’t just about socializing, there’s a lot more at stake, and not just for her status in Hollywood.

‘She’s also thinking about it from a business perspective. Brad isn’t just a movie star, he’s a brand, and Kim’s dreaming of how they could collaborate. She’s already started talking about how she could convince him to model for Skims, that would be so huge.’

Kim, too, is no stranger to the pull of the ‘power couple’ having posed for several shoots with her ex-husband, rapper Kanye West, during their seven year marriage, and we’re told the savvy businesswoman could already be masterminding a couple’s shoot with Brad and Ines.

The insider says, ‘Not that she’s going to ignore Ines, she knows if she doesn’t get her approval any hope of teaming up with Brad will probably be dead in the water so winning her over will be crucial. She'd actually love to have them star in an ad together.

‘And she’s already found out Ines' sizes and is planning to bring her a bunch of Skims stuff, she’s hoping that will get them off on the right foot. It’s all pretty premature but Kim would rather be ready so that she can make the most of this moment whenever it does happen.’

Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks have officially gone public with their romance – less than two months after her split from husband Bradley Dack. And now, insiders tell heat that Olivia’s footballer ex is far from surprised, as he felt like they’d been having an ‘emotional affair’ for a long time.

While there’s no suggestion of any crossover, an insider tells heat Bradley was uneasy about Liv and Pete’s relationship.

‘He always felt like there were three people in their marriage, and there were deep-rooted trust issues,’ an insider tells heat.

‘Olivia would always insist that his jealousy was unjustified and that Pete was just a good mate, but Bradley could sense they had a deep emotional connection, which made him feel left out – he even accused them of having an “emotional affair”.’

Pete and Olivia were spotted kissing at Flute Bar in Soho – the same venue where Pete was first pictured snogging Maura Higgins. Olivia, 34, and Pete, 37, have been friends for over 10 years and co-host the Sunday Roast radio show together on KISS.

They first raised eyebrows last summer when they were pictured looking cosy on a yacht together in Ibiza. Olivia revealed on her podcast that Bradley was ‘pissed off’ after seeing the images. She continued to be open about her relationship woes, telling her followers, ‘It’s no secret. We had a really bad summer. At the end of the day, marriage is really f**king hard.’

Since calling it quits with Bradley, 32, in January, after two-and-a -half years of marriage – reportedly because of a ‘breach of trust’ on his side – Olivia’s friendship with former TOWIE star Pete has grown deeper. Back in February, Olivia and Pete let their hair down together at an event celebrating her role as the new face of Garnier, which ended with the pair leaving in a taxi together at 3am.

More recently, the duo were seen getting cosy at the BRITs. Later that evening, Pete was snapped carrying two pizzas up to his hotel room. The pair were then seen exiting the same hotel together the following morning.

Our source says, ‘When the photos of Olivia and Pete kissing at Flute came out, Bradley felt vindicated. For him, it was the ultimate “I told you so”. But he also feels totally humiliated, and to see them go public so soon after the split was a real twist of the knife.’

The source continues, ‘Olivia is in full panic-mode. She knows this not only seems to validate all of Bradley’s suspicions, it gives him leverage to make her life hell in the divorce proceedings. She’s petrified about what he’ll say, even more so since mutual friends have told her he’s in talks  for a massive tell-all exclusive, which he’d previously refused to do. Now he has this ammunition, she is terrified he could leave her reputation in tatters.’

While Olivia’s new romance may be firmly in the spotlight, it’s also been reported that Bradley has rekindled his romance with ex Emily Rose Moloney, who he dated in 2015.

It’s been claimed that cheating was at the heart of the marriage breakdown, with a source alleging, ‘Olivia was told [Brad] had cheated on her, so she went through his phone and saw evidence that confirmed it.’

Meanwhile, in the aftermath of the images of Olivia and Pete kissing being released, Bradley has now unfollowed Olivia on Instagram. It comes after previous claims that he had blocked Staying Relevant podcaster Pete.

We’re told, ‘Bradley feels deeply humiliated, and he’s also fuming. He says he’s done protecting her and won’t stay quiet any longer – he feels he’s been the “supportive husband” for too long. But Olivia is adamant she’s done nothing wrong and that it’s his behaviour that led to the end of their marriage.’

They’ve never shied away from oversharing about their marriage. And in a recent episode of their hit podcast, The Therapy Crouch, Abbey Clancy threatened to dump husband Peter Crouch– and joked about him having an affair.

As the former footballer chatted about what he gets up to in his spare time – including enjoying solo lunch dates – Abbey, who had previously teased him about using Snapchat and how it’s ‘easy’ to have an affair on the app, asked, ‘Who the f**k are you? I’ve got no idea who you are. You’re on Snapchat, you’re going swimming, you’re going for tapas on your own – all these things you don’t even mention to me. I’m actually going to dump you.’ And when he later admitted he was on an eating plan to ‘feel and look good’, Abbey added, ‘Another red flag for an affair.’

While it all seemed light-hearted, insiders say that, behind the scenes, Abbeydoes have trust issues – and she worries she’s not enough for her husband.

‘Abbey was joking about him having an affair, but it is something she’s always anxious about,’ a source tells heat. ‘Most people think it’s Pete who would get jealous, as Abbey is so beautiful, but actually it’s her, as she knows what women can be like. She’s seen girls go up to Pete and flirt with him right in front of her. She knows he wouldn’t do anything and hates that she even worries about it, but she’s actually very insecure.’

The source adds, ‘It doesn’t help that, while Pete is very loyal, he does enjoy winding Abbey up about it, which makes it even worse.’

Pete, 45, and Abbey, 40, began first got together two decades ago. Things didn’t get off to the best start – in their early days back, Pete dumped Abbey during the 2006 World Cup in Germany, when she was sent home after old photos of her allegedly snorting drugs resurfaced. Abbey claimed she and Pete were still together, but he released a statement saying, ‘[We] were in the very early stages of a relationship, which, for a number of reasons, I decided a few weeks ago to end.’

Despite the drama the couple went on to get engaged in 2009. But reports surfaced the following year alleging that Pete had cheated on Abbey with a sex worker while on a stag weekend. Although Abbey was devastated, she soon found out she was pregnant with daughterSophia, now 14, and they were able to move on, getting married in 2011. She later spoke about the allegations, saying it was a ‘horrendous’ time.

Over the years, Abbey and Pete – who are also parents to Liberty, 10, Johnny, eight, and Jack, six – have continued to be open about the highs and lows of their marriage, with Abbey once confessing that her pregnancy with Johnny was ‘hell’ as they ‘hated each other’. A recent podcast episode saw Abbey admit to feeling ‘abandoned’ due to her husband’s packed social calendar, revealing she’d even been ‘assessing’ their marriage.

And as her Pete’s star keeps rising, our source says Abbey – who has modelled for brands like Victoria’s Secret and Charlotte Tilbury – is beginning to feel pushed aside.

‘Although Pete was an England footballer, Abbey has always been the one who got offered all the glamorous and exciting jobs. But now he’s got a media career, Pete keeps getting more popular. People are drawn to him – he’s seen as down-to-earth and someone who you could go and have a pint with. Advertisers and producers want to cash in on that. Abbey obviously has her own career, but she feels like she’s been pushed into the background a bit sometimes.’

As well as fronting The Therapy Crouch, Pete hosts his own self-titled sports podcast and is a football pundit for the likes of TNT Sport. He also regularly works with big brands, recently teaming up with M&S Food.

Our insider adds, ‘There is part of Abbey that is pleased Pete is popular and gets attention, as she’s always been accused of only going out with him because he was rich. Now everyone can see what she has seen for 20 years – she just wishes he wasn’t so smug about it!’

WATCH: Love Island's Scott and Leanne speak out about who they were close to in the villa

It’s been seven months since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their engagement with a carefully choreographed portrait of the moment Travis got down on one knee, surrounded by flowers. But now, with the pair counting down to their big day, insiders say wedding planning has hit a stressful snag.

‘Taylor’s incredibly excited about the wedding, but the logistics are causing her a ton of stress,’ an insider tells heat. ‘The fact that the date and all sorts of other details have already leaked has rattled her. It’s got to the point where she’s considering the idea of changing their plans completely to avoid having it turn into a circus.’

Reports have suggested 13 June – the singer’s favourite number – is the intended date, with claims Taylor, 36, even ‘paid off’ another couple to secure it at her chosen venue. And, throwing another spanner in the works, a US outlet has revealed the pair will be tying the knot at Ocean House in Rhode Island, a picturesque seafront venue close to the singer’s home.

We’re told the leaks have left the bride-to-be having second thoughts over the date. And with NFL star Travis, 36, also having confirmed he will be rejoining the Kansas City Chiefs for the new football season in September, the couple are facing an increasingly small window in which to tie the knot.

We’re told, ‘There aren’t a lot of other options as far as their schedules go. They have a very tight timeline because it all has to fit around Travis’ football schedule. Taylor totally supports him going back for another season, but it hasn’t made the wedding planning easy.’

The source continues, ‘Travis has handed most of the planning off to Taylor – this is her field, and she has a strong vision of what she wants. The downside of that is that she’s feeling overwhelmed and having sleepless nights. They both want to be married before Travis heads off to training camp in July, so the window is shrinking by the day. She really needs to lock her plan in and stick to it. It’s always very unsettling for Taylor when things about her life go public, because it makes her suspicious that people close to her might be leaking stories.’

The reports revealing details of the wedding are also said to have caused tension within the couple’s inner circle. Our insider says, ‘There has been some chatter the leaks are coming from someone in Travis’ camp, so now he’s on a mission to figure out who’s blabbing. He is taking it seriously – anything that upsets Taylor upsets him. But he’s also trying to get her to relax. He’s reminded her that what actually matters is the two of them committing to each other, not whether every last detail stays under wraps. Travis is usually very good at helping her see things from a different perspective, but this is her wedding. She wants everything to be perfect, and a big part of that equation is total secrecy.’

After her A-list pal Selena Gomez managed to keep her September 2025 wedding to Benny Blanco completely under wraps, our source tells heat that Taylor had hoped to follow suit.

‘She wants to do what Selena did and announce the wedding after it’s happened,’ says the insider. ‘ She says Selena’s wedding was perfect, and the fact that she could share the pictures on her own terms rather than have someone leak them made it even better.’

The insider adds, ‘Taylor just wants to be able to control the narrative for the biggest day of her life. She hasn’t scrapped her original plan yet, but it’s something she’s on the fence about – and if more details come out, she says she’ll have no choice.’

WATCH: Love Island's Scott and Sean have gone from enemies to friends

It's been over two months since Brooklyn Beckham posted his explosive six-page Instagram statement about his feud with the rest of his family – and we can’t stop thinking about the bombshell revelation that mum Victoria Beckham ‘hijacked’ his first wedding dance, and performed some ‘inappropriate’ moves.

Now, following the reports that Brooklyn and wife Nicola are in talks for a tell-all Hulu docuseries, we’re told that the eldest Beckham child is ready for the world to see the video. ‘The gloves are well and truly off at this point. This docuseries will be a direct attack on his parents’ carefully curated image,’ an insider tells heat.

‘The holy grail of any deal will be exclusive rights to the first dance video. Brooklyn feels Victoria used his wedding as her own PR opportunity, and he feels the footage shows another side to her that he believes is controlling, overbearing, and desperate for the spotlight.’

The source continues, ‘It would be a full-on declaration of independence for Brooklyn – there’d be no coming back. But, he wants to show the world the reality of what life is like growing up in a family that constantly puts itself in the public eye – and Hulu are offering him the multi-million dollar budget to do just that.’

Spoilers. Scandals. Showbiz chaos. Click here to add heat to your Google preferences and stay ahead of the drama.

Unsurprisingly, our insider says Victoria is in ‘in an absolute state of panic’ over the possible release of footage.

‘She’s always insisted she was just a proud mum, who was a little bit tipsy, but Brooklyn’s take on the incident is darker,’ we’re told.

‘That video seeing the light of day is her worst nightmare, because it shows side of her that goes against her carefully curated image. She’s terrified that it will make her look like a fame-hungry mother, rather than a doting parent. Vic feels powerless. Thinking about the world seeing her in such an unflattering light makes her sick. She can’t take much more humilation.’

Brooklyn, 27, first made the shocking allegations against his family – which also includes siblings Romeo, 23, Cruz, 21, and 14-year-old sister Harper – on Instagram in January. The 27-year-old alleged that VB had sought to steal the spotlight from Nicola on her big day. ‘My mum hijacked my first dance with my wife,’ he wrote. ‘She danced very inappropriately on me in front of everyone. I've never felt more uncomfortable or humiliated in my entire life.’

The internet immediately blew up after the claims went public. And when it emerged that the Peltz Beckhams were the only people with a copy of the video – as the official videographer had deleted the footage, and there was a strict no-phones policy in place for their 500 guests – many begged the couple to release the tape.

Other reports claimed Nicola, 31, ran from the room ‘in tears’. And DJ Fat Tony, who performed at the nuptials, described the incident as ‘really awkward for everyone in the room’ – revealing how singer Marc Anthony had instructed Brooklyn to 'place your hands on your mother's hips'. For his part, Marc has been mostly tight-lipped, but he has disputed Brooklyn’s version of events, saying it was ‘hardly the truth’.

However, Brooklyn and Nicola were clearly affected, as last August, they staged a full vow renewal with none of his family in attendance. ‘We wanted to renew our vows so we could create new memories of our wedding day that bring us joy and happiness, not anxiety and embarrassment,’ Brooklyn said in his scathing Instagram statement.

Among the many damning allegations – including that Victoria, 51, called him ‘evil’ over the wedding reception seating arrangements – Brookly also declared, ‘Brand Beckham comes first’, and, ‘My family values public promotion and endorsements above all else.’ Brooklyn also blasted the family’s ‘performative social media posts’ and ‘inauthentic relationships’.

The rumours of the Peltz Beckhams’ tell-all documentary deal comes after both Davidand Victoria released separate docuseries with streaming rival Netflix. Though Posh’s show came out in the midst of the feud, the series did not address the situation at all.

Our source says, ‘For Victoria, this isn't just a family row – it’s a commercial catastrophe. She knows if Brooklyn releases that footage on Hulu, it will overshadow everything she’s built. She’s riddled with anxiety about what else Brooklyn could reveal. If this deal goes through, it could not only be the end of any hope of reconciliation between them – it could mark the end of Brand Beckham, too.’

The new season of Made in Chelsea is back and serving up some of the most unexpected of storylines. Livvy Barker kissing Angus Findlay? Chuggs Wallis fancying his best friend's girlfriend aka Jules Pollard? Jazz Saunders having more than platonic feelings from Inga Valentiner? Okay, that last one we saw coming a mile off, but still, we're only three episodes in and it's been WILD.

It's almost feeling like old school MIC, although most of the OGs have left (Ollie Locke is the only one who is still loitering around) the close-knit friendship group is back and so is the scandalous snogging and secret love affairs.

Talking of unexpected storylines and curve ball kissing, does anyone remember when former MIC fan fave Liv Bentley 'dated' Temps? We say 'dated' but it was a blink and you miss it romance.

Liv is no longer on the show but her exes (namely Temps and Tristan Phipps) are definitely still key players and when we caught up with Liv, we couldn't help but ask if she still checks in with them.

'Erm no to both' she exclusively admitted to us and fair enough, they are exes for a reason.

'Digby [Edgley] I did for a bit,' she went on, 'but I don't think he lives in the UK anymore.'

How could we forgot about Digby? The two dated for one year before breaking up in 2019, with Digby leaving Made in Chelsea soon after.

We also quizzed Liv on her whether she believes you can remain friends with an ex when you do break up.

'Yeah,' she admitted, 'a lot of my other exes I'm still mates with.'

'Some exes we weren't really friends before whereas more people I've had flings with I end up being friends with.'

To be fair Liv and Tristan dated for over three years and the break up was tough for us to watch so we can't imagine how hard it was to live through.

It’s around this time of year that Big Brother fans would usually be eagerly anticipating another series of Celebrity Big Brother. The show normally kicks off around the start of April, but it was announced at the start of the year that there wouldn’t be a new series until 2027.

Thankfully though, there is some good news for fans of the iconic reality show as Big Brother 2025 lovebirds Elsa Rae and Marcus John have just announced they’re expecting their first child together.

Elsa and Marcus struck up a whirlwind romance when they met in the house last September and things have clearly gone from strength to strength in the outside world.

Announcing their happy news on Instagram alongside some seriously adorable snaps, Elsa wrote, ‘We’ve been keeping a little secret…

‘Our bubba due October 2026! We are so very excited 🤍🍼xx.’

The pair were congratulated by Big Brother housemates both from their series and years gone by, with Elsa’s bestie Teja Dalphy writing, ‘So excited 🥰🥰💕💕.’

Tate Reynolds added, ‘Hearts bursting ❤️ yous will be the best mum and dad x,’ while Big Brother 2023’s Noky Simbani commented, ‘Aww congratulations darlings 🥹🩷.’

Elsa and Marcus quickly formed a connection when they appeared on Big Brother together last year and although their relationship was tested at times, they continued dating when they returned to the outside world.

Speaking exclusively to heatworld after finishing as runner-up behind winner Richard Storry, Elsa said, ‘We sort of have been together like literally every day since getting out. He’s going to meet my family on the weekend. So I think things will move slowly and quickly. But I think it will be more natural outside, less intense wise.’

She added, ‘I think it will just play into when it’s meant to be. But it’s definitely going to be forever, so yeah.’

Guys, we need to do a factory reset on reality TV stars because they literally all know each other and it's just absurd.

We don't mean someone from Love Island knowing someone else from Love Island, because by this point we assume the dating show big wigs have a directory of potential dating show candidates and they're all connected like some sort of Love Island family tree. We mean an AUSTRALIAN Married At First Sight bride is pals with a UK Love Island All Stars - and has been since 2018.

Bec Zacharia, who is taking part in the current Aussie season of MAFS, is reportedly friends with none other than Samie Elishi.

'What do you mean?' We hear you ask like that viral clip of Jennifer Lawrence when she did the hot wings challenge.

Well, Bec apparently mentioned Samie on a live she did recently and after much sleuthing we found a photo of them from December 2018 on Bec's social media, Samie would have been just 18 at the time.

'A duck & a beauty,' Bec's captioned the pic and Samie commented on it saying, 'Love youu♥️♥️' and '*a beauty & a beauty.'

One of the strangest aspects is that the post has just four comments and two are from Samie, nowadays the reality TV stars have thousands of interactions, but of course back in 2018 Samie and Bec were just regular girls.

Bec revealed that the two of them worked together when she lived in London, Bec also admitted that she 'loves' Samie, so we assume the two of them are still friends.

Samie won the most recent of All Stars just a month ago but she has already ended her romance with Ciaran Davies, who she won the show with, and the duo are NOT on good terms.

Three times on Love Island wasn't quite enough for the London babe to find The One, perhaps Samie will be on MAFS next.

The Love Island drama surrounding Ciaran Davies and Samie Elishi has been rumbling on ever since it came to light that they'd split just three weeks after winning All Stars 2026. From fans asking Samie to return her £25k winnings to Ciaran speaking out and saying he's been 'made to look like a fool' - we've been gagged.

However in a shock plot twist, it seems that Ciaran may have moved on too as he's sparked rumours with a TOWIE star.

Shortly after Ciaran's podcast episode dropped (where he discussed his split with Samie and even spoke about those Tyrique Hyde rumours), he attended a Celebrity Ex on the Beach party and in a video obtained by The Sun, he can be seen chatting to TOWIE's Ella Rae Wise.

We know, we know, it's not much BUT Harrison Solomon has added fuel to the fire by commenting on Ciaran's Instagram photo that was taken at the event.

'How's @ellarewisex,' Harrison wrote.

LOL.

Lots of fans rushed to comment with one person writing, 'Ooooooooo now there’s a great looking couple 🤞.'

Someone else said, 'You’re so messy😭😂.'

A third commented, 'Absolute class from you 😂.'

One more added, 'Now he follows her hmm.'

It was just last week that Ciaran spoke about his recent split and let's just say it all sounds a little raw.

'During the time before New York when we were seeing each other he [Tyrique] sent flowers to her house and I found out maybe a day or two days ago. How he got the address I’ll never know.

'I’m just getting made to look a fool. I’ve also come to find out that he unfollowed me the day before we split and the day after he did that post about Samie,' Ciaran said on the Not My Bagg podcast.

Savage.

Just think, if Ella appeared on Love Island All Stars like she hinted to us last year, things could have been very different for Ciaran and Samie.

WATCH: Love Island's Leanne and Scott reveal their fave things about each other 😭❤️

Eden-Olivia is the deputy editor of heatworld and she’s worked in showbiz since 2016. She started watching Love Island in 2017 because of her job. However Montana Brown remaining unphased by absolutely everything kept her entertained and she’s watched every series since.

After a period away from the limelight, Carole Middleton returned in spectacular fashion last week, making her entrance to Cheltenham Ladies Day arm-in-arm with Zara Tindall before she was snapped laughing alongside Princess Anne in the royal box – photograph later described as proof that the Princess of Wales’ mother, 71, is ‘at the heart of the Royal Family’.

But now a source tells us how one senior royal in particular isn’t as thrilled as everyone else about Carole’s warm welcome into the royal fold – Queen Camilla, who we’re told believes Kate’s mum is ‘a wolf in sheep’s clothing’ who is ready to knock her from the top spot as the firm’s ultimate matriarch.

An insider says, ‘Camilla is very aware of appearances and makes a point of smiling for the cameras and speaking positively about Carole whenever she’s asked, but behind the scenes, it’s a very different story.

‘You can instantly see Camilla’s hackles go up anytime Carole walks in the room. Everyone else in the family adores her, including Charles, which a lot of people see as the main reason Camilla doesn’t like her. Camilla is polite to her face but it’s not a secret she thinks she’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. She’s worried she’s secretly trying to undermine her.’

Royal author Christopher Anderson has previously claimed of William’s relationship with his ‘stepmother’ Camilla, ‘He tolerates her…[Camilla] has always been a little bit afraid of William’.

Meanwhile, a former butler for King Charles recently revealed that following the loss of his own mother, Princess Diana, when he was 15, Carole had later emerged as a ‘second mother’ figure.

Former royal butler Grant Harrold added last month, ‘They are a warm and welcoming family, and I imagine gave him some of the normality he craved during his 20s and 30s. He would speak to her when anything worries him, and if he wants advice or guidance. It’s always been the way.’

And the source says Carole’s growing importance within the family – also as grandmother to future king Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven – has done little to dampen Camilla’s fears.

‘It doesn’t help that Carole is thick as thieves with William. There aren’t that many people that he and Kate can fully rely on right now, so from their point of view it makes complete sense to turn to someone they trust like Carole,’ the insider says.

‘The reality is Carole has stepped in at a time when they need support and she’s proven herself to be a steady, compassionate presence. She’s even managed to form a close bond with Anne. She’s very much a part of the inner circle now, whether Camilla likes it or not. And down the line, when William is calling all the shots her place will be even more secure.’

And Camilla's fears over what the future could bring could be founded on good reason, given that upon Charles’ passing, William will have the power to choose which, if any, role Camilla will play within the Royal Family, as well as her new title.

This means the same grace is likely to be extended to Carole and, while she is not an official member of the Royal Family, the source says it’s become clear in recent years what a central and crucial role Carole plays in the lives of Wales family. It’s a role that will no doubt continue as William and Kate take on even more responsibly when they take over the throne.

The insider says, ‘Camilla is very aware of the strong hold the Middleton family has on William and she’s convinced Carole is positioning herself to play a much bigger role once her son-in-law takes the throne, which she finds very unsettling.

'She’s heard William praise Carole time and again, talking about how well she connects with people and how much the public responds to her. He even compares her to Kate in terms of warmth and charm, and that only adds to Camilla’s fears. But what really infuriates her is how effortlessly Carole seems to slot in, it’s safe to say she’s much more well-liked by many people within the family than Camilla is.’

So much so that even Charles has been reportedly bowled over by Carole, with royal expert Katie Nicholl revealing that the pair – who became in-laws when William and Kate married in 2011 – have ‘a very close relationship’, having been spotted laughing together at Royal Ascot last year.

And we’re told Camilla finds it difficult to approach Charles on the matter as it’s clear he holds such deep respect for Carole.

‘It’s not really something she can complain to Charles about though. He’s so fond of Carole, anything she says against her will just come off looking like sour grapes,’ the insider says.

‘But her friends get an earful. She’s always going on about the special treatment Carole gets and saying how she has too much influence and that it goes against royal protocol.’

Behind-the-scenes, Katie also revealed how the Middleton family have been a ‘fundamental’ support, especially following Kate’s cancer diagnosis in 2024 (she is now in remission).

Katie said, ‘The real anchors in [Kate's] life are her parents [Carole and Michael Middleton], and her brother James and her sister Pippa. While you certainly don't see them photographed together very often, they are very much there in the backgroun... They are absolutely fundamental.’

So much so, that the source says Carole is so secure in her position and thrives on being a mother and grandmother that she is highly unlikely to get involved in any drama, should it come to pass now or in the future, and is not seeking to undermine Camilla in any way..

The insider says, ‘Any criticism she receives is like water off a duck’s back for Carole, which just winds Camilla up more. But this is a one-sided battle because Carole’s refusing to fight; she’s very confident in her place and simply doesn’t engage in the drama.’

Anybody else have whiplash from all the drama surrounding former Love Island couple Ciaran Davies and Samie Elishi? Every morning we open our eyes and are bombarded with another curveball, this time it has nothing to do with Tyrique Hyde, if you can believe that.

Just three weeks after winning All Stars 2026, whispers started floating out of the rumour mill that Samie and Ciaran had already split, turns out it wasn’t just idle gossip.

Not long after the news broke, Samie was apparently spotted on a date with series 10 troublemaker Tyrique, and now Ciaran has FINALLY spoken out about what went down between them.

As a guest on the Not My Bagg podcast, Ciaran was looking all kinds of downtrodden as he opened up about the split.

'It would be easy for me to give a PR answer, [say it's] both our decision, I'll be honest, not on my end,' he admitted.

'I'm not going to go into detail about the phone call as thats a little unfair on her as well, but that is the truth, that is how it happened.'

Earlier on in the chat, Ciaran claimed that he struggled to get a hold of Samie when she was in New York but when she eventually did call him back, she ended the relationship over the phone.

'There was definitely effort on my side and it [the break up] had nothing to do with Samie being busy,' he went on. 'I don't think there was problem with my communication, maybe towards the end where I was like, "Look I can't be bothered to keep messaging," I'm feeling like it's a one-sided thing.'

Ciaran also briefly touched on the Samie and Ty dating situation which is currently being talked about by literally everyone.

'Before New York when we were still seeing each other, I sent flowers to her house,' he admitted, 'and I found out a day or two days ago, that he (Tyrique) had also sent flowers to her house.'

OUCH.

'How he got the address I will never know,' the rugby player added before going on to say, 'Hearing this, now I'm just being made to look like a fool.

'I feel like with everything thats gone on, the way I am being portrayed as though I was the reason, I was the problem, this isn't me trying to got gun anyone, this is the truth.'

'Thats why I feel like I have to speak on this matter,' he stated, 'I just see it as disrespectful.'

Since Ciaran's interview on the podcast dropped, Samie has already taken to social media to declare 'lot of that is b***ocks.'

Uh oh, time to pick your side, guys.

WATCH: Name a more iconic duo… We’ll wait 😂

Kim Kardashian

Prepare to throw a party as we’re fast approaching the 10th anniversary of the most famous naked selfie of them all. When Kim Kardashian posted this image – along with the caption ‘when you’re like I have nothing to wear’ – people across the globe lost their minds. Of course, she’s posted some pretty risque stuff since then, and then there was that image of her balancing a glass on her ass which broke the internet.

Nicola Peltz

She’s been making headlines for all the wrong reasons over the past year during a reported bitter bust-up with her in-laws. But when she’s not winding up the Beckhams, Nicola is posting sensational nude selfies, with this one taken by her loving hubby Brooklyn. As the daughter of a billionaire, we kinda expected her to have a bigger bath than this – no chance of Brooklyn getting in there with her.

Liz Hurley

Posting this image for her 60th birthday, Liz certainly seemed to know how to put the sex into sexagenarian! Over the years she has wowed her followers with some seriously sultry images and it seems like she’s going to keep on going for years yet. Though, to be fair, we felt a little bit nauseous when she revealed that her son Damian takes the pictures on some of her bikini shoots.

Heidi Klum

When it comes to posting naked pics, Heidi has a slight advantage over the rest of us. She’s a nudist, and she’s German. In other words, she literally couldn’t care less who catches sight of her with her bits and pieces hanging out. Unsurprisingly, her socials contain quite a lot of saucy imagery. There’s no chance of feeling glum when you’re following Ms Klum.

Robbie Williams

Just as you were thinking ‘hmmm, I’m loving this article, but isn’t it a teensy bit subjective of women’ along comes Robbie Williams to prove that we sometimes like to be subjective of men, too. When it comes to showing off, Robbie is a natural, but we’re a bit sad to see he’s not showing off his crown jewels. We’d certainly let him entertain us in this outfit though.

Sydney Sweeney

You won’t often catch young Sydney in the altogether as, well, she’s not that type of girl. But in a rare posting that got her fans all hot under the collar, she did let this one slip as her team got her ready backstage in a dressing room. Apparently the job advert to be her stylist on this shoot received 4.2m applications, mostly from lusty young men. Strange, huh?

Nicki Minaj

The legendary rapper turned up the heat when she posed naked with this enormous teddy bear for her 39th birthday. (For the record, the bear was also technically naked, but thankfully kept his fur on). She’s currently on the receiving end of a huge backlash after backing the Trump administration, and a petition to have her deported been signed thousands of times. The big question is, if she goes, does America get to keep the bear?

Chrissy Teigen

Supermodel Chrissy has endured her fair share of controversies over the years but this selfie really does pose perhaps the most controversial. Whose pillow was she sat on when this image was taken? And did she have their permission? As much as we love you, Chrissy, there’s absolutely no chance we’d let you wipe your tushy on our pillow.

They're parents to two gorgeous babies, and now Olivia Bowen has said her and husband Alex's family is complete, revealing he's had the snip.

The Love Island star, 32, welcomed her second child - a daughter named Siena - in August last year, three years after their son Abel was born. And while heat did get the inside scoop that they didn't want to expand their brood any more back in January, Olivia has now shared that she and Alex are making sure that can't happen.

'Alex had a vasectomy the other day, so no more kids for us, she said.

'There were a lot of reasons - personal ones, environmental ones and external ones - but ultimately, we just feel complete now.'

After meeting in the Love Island villa in 2016, Olivia and Alex, 34, tied the knot two years later in a stunning Essex wedding. They announced they were expecting Abel in 2022, and while Olivia's pregnancy was plain sailing, her traumatic 30-hour birth left her with PTSD and feeling 'scared to do it again', despite wanting to give Abel a sibling.

Her pregnancy and birth were even tougher the second time around. After seeing two embryos on their first scan, they tragically lost Siena's twin. Then terrifyingly, Olivia 'nearly died' during Siena's birth after suffering a major haemorrhage during an emergency C-section.

But the couple could be looking to start a fresh, as Olivia recently opened up about potentially relocating to Spain, admitting it feels 'scary and heavy to be a parent in the UK'.

As the Beckham family feud rumbles on, second-youngest sibling Cruz has been stirring the pot – literally. The 21 year old went viral when he posted a video of himself making a ‘rubbish’ potato soup on TikTok, which many perceived to be a swipe at his big brother, aspiring chef Brooklyn. Now, insiders tell heat that mum Victoria Beckham was furious about the post, which she fears will ruin any chance of peace with her eldest son.

‘In Vic’s eyes, Cruz has stirred up drama in a way that could have consequences for the whole family. She’s really upset. She’s
been working so hard behind the scenes, trying to reconcile with Brooklyn, and Cruz has jeopardised that. His video came across as a dig at Brooklyn, and she felt sick to her stomach thinking about how it would land and how hurt he might feel seeing it.’

In the clip, titled ‘Unforgettable potato soup’, Cruz says, ‘Wanna see the best cooking video ever? Don’t watch this then’ – adding that while his finished product looked ‘gross’, 
it’s ‘actually decent’.

Followers were quick to compare Cruz’s clip with Brooklyn’s content. He’s been trying to carve out his own niche as a culinary influencer, regularly posting cooking videos, as well as the short-lived web series 
Cookin’ With Brooklyn.

‘No one does hate 
like siblings,’ one follower commented, while another asked, ‘Are you related to 
that gourmet chef Brooklyn Beckham?’

Cruz’s apparent
dig comes as his new song Loneliest Boy gains traction, with fans convinced that it’s about his big bro, and that it hints at the tensions within the family. 
Lyrics include, ‘Loneliest boy, I hope that you’re listening, don’t push all your friends away when we’re tryna show you love… Loneliest boy, mama don’t talk too much, it’s breaking her heart…’

It’s not the first time Cruz has alluded to the feud. He denied claims that the family unfollowed Brooklyn, 27, on Instagram and was the first to react to Brooklyn’s damning six-page Instagram statement accusing 
the family of putting Brand Beckham above everything else.

_We’re told that Victoria, 51 – who is
also mum to daughter Harper, 14 – is worried about how things 
could pan out. ‘Vic’s going through a lot of emotions. She’s feeling hurt and frustrated – not to mention incredibly anxious,’ our insider says. ‘Cruz has always been a free spirit – he says what he wants, and doesn’t stop to think about the fallout – and that unpredictability really scares her.’

The source continues, ‘Vic’s used to having a certain level of control over how the family
is perceived, and with 
Cruz, she feels like she’s losing that. He pushes boundaries and she worries what he might say next, and that he could unintentionally 
do more damage. It’s making her panic because she doesn’t know how to rein him in without making things worse.’

In response, Cruz posted a video of himself, girlfriend Jackie Apostel, brother Romeo, 23, and his girlfriend Kim Turnbullacting carefree during a car ride. ‘Imagine hating and we’re just here like…’ Cruz wrote, which followers called the ‘perfect comeback’.

The latest drama comes after LA-based Brooklyn described Nicola’s mum Claudia as ‘the best mother-in-law’ in a belated birthday tribute to her, which
he posted on Mother’s Day in the UK – while failing to acknowledge his own mum.

We’re told, ‘The Mother’s Day post hurt Vic deeply, more than she’s letting on. The fact that Brooklyn posted a tribute to his mother-in-law on Mother’s Day felt very pointed – Vic’s still reeling. It’s going to take her a while to get over it. That’s why she’s so upset with Cruz, too. Vic’s worried that it’s going to push Brooklyn away even further,
and the thought of 
that is unbearable.’

The source adds, ‘It’s a very fragile situation and Cruz’s video has only created more tension. Vic’s feeling a mix of anger, worry and hurt, coupled with a real sense she’s losing control over a situation she desperately wants to fix.’

It's only been two months, but Katie Price's latest marriage has already caused its fair share of drama. And last week, the former glamour model defended her fourth husband Lee Andrews, and the rumours surrounding him, on the Good Morning Britain sofa.

The 47-year-old mum-of-live - who married Dubai-based businessman Lee, 41, in January, just one week after they met - insisted that despite, the whirlwind romance she's 'happy' and 'can make her own decisions.' adding that her critics were 'disrespectful'.

She said, 'I've through so much, so many different relationships, and I normally went from one to the other... Now, I know the signs of red flags and all of that.

I am older, I can make my own decisions, and there's nothing to say that you have to wait for anything. With Lee, it's so different to every other relationship.' After saying her mum was 'traumatised' by the nuptials, she also said that, despite being legally wed to Lee, she has no plans for him to meet her children.

She said, 'I won't be introducing him to the kids yet, because I want to get to know him more…..I think the thing that everyone can' get their head round is why have I married him [so] quick. I was there. We got engaged. And it just felt right, so why not get married?'

While the quickie wedding raised many eyebrows, the rumours that Lee - who describes himself as a 'multi-millionaire businessman' - might not be who he says he is have also caused a stir.

Despite insisting he's loaded, it's been reported that he'd failed to pay the bill at the Dubai hotel they wed at. Voice notes that seemed to show Lee begging for money just days before marrying Katie have also been released, while an ex has told Katie to 'run for the hills' and compared him to the Tinder Swindler.

Lee denies all the allegations and Katie - who has been engaged nine times, and was previously married to Peter Andre (with whom she shares Junior, 20, and Princess, 18), Alex Reid and Kieran Hayler - was defensive of her new hubby.

'I haven't gone for a con man,' she wrote on social media. 'Please be happy for me.'

While he was single, there was still hope – but after years of being one of showbiz’s most infamous Lotharios, it looks like Harry Styles is off the market, having found his forever with actress and director
Zoë Kravitz.

The singer recently revealed he wants to get married and start a family – and now heat has heard he’s wasting no time. According to insiders, Harry is fast-tracking his plans
to settle down and is preparing to pop the question to his girlfriend of eight months.

‘Harry’s aware things are moving fast in this relationship, but he seems to have met Zoë at just the right time. He’s ready to settle down. He wants to build something lasting and Zoë feels like the person to do it with,’ an insider tells heat.

Spoilers. Scandals. Showbiz chaos. Click here to add heat to your Google preferences and stay ahead of the drama.

The source continues, ‘Since his last tour, he’s been trying to be a bit more low-key, doing regular things like going out for coffee or spending time at home reading, and having someone like Zoë with him to enjoy those moments with has been amazing.’

And it seems like Harry might have bagged a two-for-one deal, as he’s made a big impression on Zoë’s dad, rock star Lenny Kravitz. Our source says, ‘Harry and Lenny have really hit it off. They clicked immediately, and Lenny approves. They talk all the time and Harry’s friends think he’s laying the groundwork for a proposal. They think Zoë might be “The One” and can finally make Harry settle down.’

Romance rumours first surfaced last summer when Harry was spotted with Big Little Lies star Zoë in Rome. The pair were then photographed walking hand-in-hand in New York City a few weeks later. Several months after that, there were reports that Harry, 32, had met Lenny over lunch in Paris, where 
the rock star is based.

Harry’s love life has long attracted attention, with a series of high-profile relationships, including Taylor Swift, Kendall Jenner and, most famously actress and director Olivia Wilde. The pair met on the set of Don’t Worry, Darling in 2020, which Olivia directed, and their 10-year age gap and the drama that the relationship caused with Harry’s co-star Florence Pugh raised a few eyebrows. But recent statements from Harry suggest he’s ready to put his Casanova
days behind him.

Speaking earlier this month about his single American Girls – which Harry revealed was inspired by seeing 
three of his close friends get married, causing him to have a ‘real honest conversation with himself’ – the singer said, ‘I want
to be fulfilled, and I want to be in great relationships with people. I want to have great friendships with people. I want a family.’

And with his upcoming Together, Together tour promoting new album Kiss All The Time, Disco, Occasionally, Harry’s made moves 
to provide some of the stability he’s craving. Instead of a global mega-tour, he’s playing six residencies in different cities around the world, which he says will allow him ‘to stay 
in my life’ and ‘take care’ of himself better.

And there’s no doubt that being in one place for a sustained period of time will give him more quality time with Zoë, 37, with our source telling us Harry is besotted with her.

‘His friends feel like he’s really met his match. Zoë’s very independent and not threatened by his sex-symbol status. She’s played it cool and let things unfold naturally, which has 
only made Harry fall 
for her harder. He finds her inspiring and feels lucky to be with her,’
says our insider.’

The source adds, ‘If anything, it’s Harry who feels he needs
to stay on his toes.’

WATCH: Love Island's Scott teases appearing on The Traitors

It's not like us ('we're going to London to buy' heat magazine, heya) to get caught up in a tongue-in-cheek game of celeb he-said-she-said… okay, we're totally lying. This is our bread and butter – and we've got a juicy Celebrity Ex on the Beach one for you, involving potential love birds Love Island star Toby Aromolaran and TOWIE's Dani Imbert.

We say 'potential love birds' because they're both appearing on the latest series of the Paramount+ dating show – and we've all seen them snog in the teaser trailer.

Now, we obv don't know whether the reality stars are together-together four months after filming (the series will no doubt painfully drip-feed us that info), but we can tell you this: the pair were visibly friendly/flirty at the London launch this week, and both were more than happy to dish on their 'flirty relationship' – plus the DMs they sent to each other before coming face to face on Celebrity Ex on the Beach.

Opening up about their relationship prior to filming, Dani exclusively told us, 'Me and Toby have known each other for a few years and we’ve always had a flirty relationship and I think going on to Ex on the Beach gave us the opportunity to explore that. That's all I can say and you’re going to have to watch to find out.'

Honestly, if we got a quid for every reality star that told us that...

When asked about the rumours they'd been sliding into each other's DMs long before the show, Dani told us, 'I think he slid into [my DMs]. I wouldn't slide into a boy's DMs. Yeah, he messaged me. I can't remember what he said, but he did.'

And because we're basically Randall Weems from Recess, we repeated exactly what Dani had said about Toby – in our interview with him just ten minutes later to get a little more context on this relationship's origin story.

Laughing, Toby told us, ‘That's such a lie,' referring to Dani's claim that he sent the first flirty DM.

He added, 'That's such a lie. 'She's lying. If you want to get technical with the terms, I think she slid into my DMs.’

Toby then went on to tell us that he was FaceTiming Dani earlier this week while she was filming TOWIE, so at the very least these two have left the show good mates, but we're manifesting something so much more...

WATCH: Scott on The Traitors is EXACTLY what we want this year

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

We are only three episodes into series 31 of Made in Chelsea but it has already been an emotional rollercoaster, for us we mean, we're not even thinking about the cast.

Inga Valentiner returned, Jazz Saunders split from Demi Sims, two newbies joined the cast and now people are apparently wondering if Chuggs Wallis fancies Jules Pollard. Yeah, weird, we know.

The main focus for the first three eps - and from what we can see the next few as well - is the demise of Jazz's relationship with Demi and also her coming to terms with how she feels about Inga.

Everybody thought there was more than a platonic vibe between the two of them, with Inga outright denying it, confirming they were just 'friends'. However, upcoming scenes are telling us a very different story, with Jazz finally confessing she has a little, teeny, actually quite big crush on her pal.

We can already tell it's going to be awkward AF for them both so who will Jazz turn to her in time of need?

Apparently the shoulder she had been resting on for some support is none other than Jack Taylor and you know what? We get it.

He may have fallen out with Angus Findlay for snogging his ex Livvy Barker and he may well have a vendetta against carbonara and he may well have once upon a time tried to date Jazz, but we won't hold that against him. If we are being honest Jack is the MIC cast member we would turn to for some TLC as well.

Taking to Instagram, Jazz post a cute little video on her Instagram Story of her and Jack and what looks like some fancy masquerade ball that we imagine signals the end of filming for season 31.

'Wouldn't have been able to do this season without you @jacktaylorldn,' she wrote.

Just don't let Jules see this, she defos gives jealous bestie vibes.

Jazz and Jack are always creating TikToks together and at one stage people were shipping them hard but then they tried to date, Jazz decided she liked Demi Sims and the rest, they say, is history.

Let’s be honest – expects the couples who get hitched on Married At First Sight to stay together. If you’re like us, you’re just here for the drama created by two people committing to each other despite having only met that day.

But sometimes life can surprise you – it’s been a whole year since Abi Lindsay, 34, and John Shepherd, 38, got together on the show, with John now about to move from his native Wales to Bournemouth to live with his ‘wife’. Mapping out their future Here, the couple open up about marriage, babies and doing more TV work…

What are you most looking forward to about sharing a home?

Abi: Being able to take our next steps. In the show, we progressed so much, but because we then had to do long distance, it felt like we were on hold. To be able to be together 24/7, enjoy our time and plan our future. Marriage and kids – we’re progressing towards that, really.

John: I’m looking forward to being able to chill together on the sofa. Doing long distance, it’s always so full on because we only get from Friday to Sunday together. It’s always so busy, whether it’s seeing family and friends or going out. I just want to chill out.

Do either of you have any concerns about living together?

A: We lived together in the experiment, and I feel like we were complete strangers then. Surely that must be tougher? We know each other so well now.

J: My only concern is being able to find a decent barber.

What was it like sharing your news with your MAFS co-stars at the reunion?

A: Oh, it was lovely! Everyone was so supportive of us. They didn’t show it in the edit, but I gave John a present. It was a map with the coordinates of where we first met [bottom left]. We’re going to hang it in our house. My mum also did a little video for John, basically welcoming him into the family.

Why do you think your marriage worked out while your co-stars didn't?

J**:** I can only speak for us. We were very conscious of making sure that the relationship didn’t stop when the cameras were off. We’d go out and do date nights and stuff. I think little things like that helped, because it was so much more natural – as natural as you can make it with a film crew there.

How have you found balancing day-to-day life with fame?

J: It’s exciting. We did London Fashion Week and went to the opening of a cabaret show the week before. It’s just so weird that you do that, then I go back to answering emails and Abi goes back to being a veterinary nurse.

A: One minute I’m having my hair and make-up done and wearing a nice dress, and the next I’m at work in scrubs with my hair scraped back and no make-up. It’s like I’m living two different lives.

Would you like to do more TV?

J: I’d like to. Maybe something that tests us a little bit and takes us out of our comfort zone? Race Across The World would be amazing.

A: Yeah, we might argue!

J: People said they didn’t see us argue on MAFS. You might on Race Across The World!

Are there any plans to get married in real life?

A: I mean, I never got the proposal, so I’m still waiting for that!

J: That’s definitely in our plans. Obviously, the first step is moving in together. Then we want a wedding and children.

Would you recommend going on MAFS?

J: I would, because look what can happen. Before the show, I was so single. I never needed a plus-one to go to weddings – I’d bring my mum instead. Honestly, I couldn’t have been more single!

Those closely following the drama train that is Love Island's Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies' relationship – or lack thereof now – will know that we’ve reached end-of-season-finale-level dramz in the last 24 hours.

ICYMI – and you’re definitely on the wrong website if you did – here’s a quick recap: Samie and Ciaran got together on Love Island All Stars 2026 and ended up winning the thing. Samie then went on a brand trip to New York two or three weeks later, and at some point during that period the couple split. Neither Islander spoke out about the reason for the split - which only added to the speculation - and then suddenly, rumours were flying that Samie was now dating Love Island 2023 finalist Tyrique Hyde (which he has more or less confirmed on his livestreams). Then, yesterday (Thursday 26 March 2026), Ciaran broke his silence on the Not My Bagg podcast, confirming him and Samie have indeed split, throwing out some wild accusations – accusations Samie has now responded to on Snapchat. But we'll get to that in a bit.

In short, Ciaran told host Joe Baggs, 'I can tell this is one sided, I don't want to be a dick about it,' adding, 'Were on the phone for two minutes and she said I’ll ring you when were back home, didn't hear nothing.'

Ciaran then revealed that they're not on good terms since the split, saying, 'We’re not on good terms because of the stuff I have heard since that... For instance, one was saying "she wants to ruin me."'

He added, 'I’ve been told she’s been telling people she's going to spread rumours about me, saying I was the problem,' followed by, 'You know what it's like in this industry, gossip spreads like wildfire; you are just trying to ruin me in that way because you ended it. I've done nothing wrong.'

And that's before we even get into what he makes of Samie and Tyrque allegedly being together now...

In summary: it's messy af.

A few hours after the podcast went live last night, Samie took to her Snapchat to give her side of the split story, stressing that 'a lot of that [what Ciaran said on the podcast] is b*llocks' and that if Ciaran's 'gonna tell the truth, tell it.'

In a Snapchat Q&A, Samie said, 'Normally I am so quiet on this s**t. But being quiet don't help you, and talking don't help you – and I'm just going to say a lot of that is bollocks what's being said, so yeah. Three sides to every story: you got one side, the second side and the truth, baby. Now leave me alone I can't be a*sed to talk about it.'

In a separate post, Samie captioned a photo, 'When people say sh*t that categorically did not come out of your mouth, if you're gonna tell the truth, tell it,' and in another, 'Respectfully please stop sending me messages about this pod there's 3 sides to every story.'

Well, f**k.

Rumour has it, Samie now wants to go on the same podcast to have her say...

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

The Traitors has been serving up gag-worthy TV chaos since it first landed in November 2022 – we're talking breakfast side-eyes, cloak drama, and enough paranoia to make even the heat group chat look emotionally stable. But nothing (and we do mean nothing) comes close to that series 2 finale gut-punch: winner Harry Clark revealing to Faithful runner-up Mollie Pearce that he’d been playing the longest, coldest long game imaginable as a Traitor.

One minute she thought she’d found an ally; the next, she was watching her trust crumble in real time.

Still, while Mollie left the castle in tears, she also left with something else: instant Traitors icon status. Because in the Traitors universe, being the nation’s emotional support contestant is basically a crown of its own – and Mollie’s cemented herself as one of the most unforgettable figures in the show’s legendary run.

So when heat sat down with The Traitors legend and her The Vamps boyfriend Connor Ball to talk about their latest charity mission – walking five marathons in five days to raise money and awareness for Crohn’s & Colitis UK - we obv couldn’t resist sneaking in a couple of juicy Traitors throwback questions.

And given Mollie wrapped filming back in summer 2023 (with the show airing in January 2024), we had to ask: which series 2 faces are still popping up in her real life – and in turn, which aren't 👀

Turns out, there’s one Traitors friendship that’s gone beyond the occasional London catch-up and straight into full-blown roommate territory. 'I mean, obviously, I live with Jasmine [Boatswain] now, so she’s my flatmate,' Mollie told us.

She’s also still close to another fan favourite. 'And Diane [Carson], as we know,' Mollie added, before admitting that keeping up with an entire cast isn’t easy given they were all propelled into the world of celebrity in January 2024. 'And then it’s just kind of like, it depends where you live, really. I think it’s quite difficult to stay in touch with everyone just because everyone’s all over the place.'

That said, some bonds are clearly still going strong – especially when everyone lands in the same city. “We often see Zack [Davies] and Ross [Carson] while we’re in London. I love to see Miles [Asteri] when I can as well,' Mollie said. She then added, 'We saw Ash at the weekend as well, which was lovely.'

As for anyone she isn’t in touch with? Mollie’s keeping it classy, simply saying, 'It’s kind of just like when you see people, it’s always, always nice. But it’s just so hard for 22 people to stay in touch constantly.'

Facts. But we couldn't help but notice that Harry's name wasn't mentioned...

We kid; we know for a fact Mollie and Harry are fine, but let's just say if Mollie ever found herself in the castle with him again she wouldn't be so trusting. When asked if she could trust him in the game again, she iconically said, 'I just don’t see the point. I’d just be like, well, it’s not going to affect my game if you go, so I’d rather him just be gone.'

Away from the Traitors tea, Mollie and Connor - who have been dating for almost year after meeting through Dancing on Ice - are gearing up for a challenge that’s even more intense than a Round Table showdown. The pair are walking five marathons in five days - around 130 miles - in support of Crohn’s & Colitis UK, a charity close to Mollie’s heart. Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at 11, Mollie lives with a stoma she’s named Sid, and she’s determined to raise awareness for conditions people still don’t talk about enough.

'People don’t want to talk about bowels, they don’t want to talk about poo, they don’t want to talk about toilets,' Mollie told us – but she’s saying it with her whole chest, blister fears and all.

Crohn's & Colitis UK are the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. Right now, over 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. That charity is working to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research and to raise awareness. If you'd like to support Mollie and Connor's epic five-day mission in aid of Crohn’s & Colitis UK, you can do so here.

WATCH: The Traitors series 2 winner Harry Clark has revealed the hardest part about the show 👀

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

Earlier this year, Love Island producers unleashed the mother of all twists on All Stars 2026 by spicing up the usual Casa Amor staple with a Stateside shake-up – six unreal Love Island US bombshells were dropped on the UK All Stars and collectively redefined the Love Island verb 'head turn'.

Sher Suarez was undoubtedly leader of the pack spinning male heads left, right and centre – throwing a serious spanner in the works for Scott van-der-Sluis and Leanne Amaning and making lovely Jack Keating go a shade of red we didn't know existed.

While the bombshell didn't make the final, she did exit the villa on hopeful terms with Jack and following some recent sleuthing we think he's hopping across the pond to pay her a visit.

But we know all good bombshells have a past and this one has a whole origin story, so let's deep dive.

Who is Sher Suarez?

Sher is a US-based reality star famous for taking part in Love Island USA and Love Island All Stars.

When was Sher Suarez on Love Island?

She was on Love Island USA in 2020 and Love Island All Stars in 2026.

What happened to Sher Suarez on Love Island All Stars 2026?

Sher entered the Love Island All Stars villa as a bombshell, coupling up with Jack while also exploring a connection with Scott. But after the 'To Be Honest' game left Sher and Jack with the most votes, they were dumped from the villa and sent packing.

Are Sher Suarez and Jack Keating together?

TBC. In fact, were they ever really together?

They left the villa in a very good place and said they wanted to make things work in an interview on the Love Island podcast. Naturally, the long-distance has left some feeling sceptical, although according to Jack's he is of to the States this month (possibly to visit Sher). That and the lovey-dovey emojis being thrown back and forth on social media...we're staying hopeful.

But let's be honest, Love Island relationships are hard enough without a giant ocean causing distance issues.

What happened between Sher Suarez and Whitney Adebayo?

Whitney Adebayo and Sher had a disagreement in the All Stars villa that carried on over a couple of episodes.

They had their awkward dressing room argument and then again, they had another bicker during the To Be Honest game. Despite insisting that they 'love each other' during her exit chat with Maya Jama, Sher revealed exactly where she stands with the series 10 Islander on the Love Island podcast.

After Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack asked Sher why she thinks Whitney was getting involved in her relationship with Jack, the USA bombshell admitted, 'I just feel like it has something to do with her having such a big personality.

'I confided in Whitney a lot and you know she's a very opinionated person. So I think she was kind of getting over the situation of our turbulence which doesn't really make sense because it's our [Sher and Jack's] situation but again, we're all living in a house together so it's normal for all the opinions to get shouted at you all the time.'

She continued, 'At the end of the day Whitney and I are really close and we would bicker a lot and then we would just get over it in like five minutes. So it was no hard feelings.

'We both have very big personalities and we don't like to shut up, so it's only normal for us to fight like sisters and then we act like nothing is wrong in the next ten minutes. So it is what it is.'

Is Sher Suarez on Vanderpump Villa?

She sure is. In fact, she appeared on series two is now set to return for season three. Vanderpump Villa will see Sher work at the hotel with cast members from reality TV shows coming to stay, apparently those from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Made in Chelsea will appear.

It does also say that Love Island UK peeps will feature and we can't work out if they are just referring to Sher because technically she was on Love Island UK, or if it means the likes of Tyrique Hyde and Toby Armoloaran are going to be paying Vanderpump Villa a visit.

Was Sher Suarez on Ex on the Beach?

Yep, Sher washed up on Ex on the Beach (US) series 5 as the ex of Alain Lorenzo in 2022 a couple of years after finding fame on Love Island USA.

Is Sher Suarez on Instagram?

She sure is. You can follow her at @x.o.sher.

WATCH: Love Island's Leanne and Scott speak about life outside the villa

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

Ready to feel old? We work for heat, so we get jump-scared by nostalgia on a daily basis, and today's personal attack (which you're joining us on) is this: The Vamps released Can We Dance in 2013 – THIRTEEN years ago.

That was the same year Miley twerked at the VMAs, Breaking Bad ended, and Sam Bailey won The X Factor, btw – just in case you fancied a little extra salt rubbed directly into your ageing soul.

Anyway, it’s been a bit quiet on The Vamps front for the last few years (no new bops, no tours, no teasy group photos), so when we sat down with bassist Connor Ball and his Traitors girlfriend Mollie Pearce to talk about their latest charity mission (they're walking five marathons in five days for Crohn's and Colitis UK), we had to slip in a cheeky question about whether we can expect a proper Vamps comeback this year.

And Connor only slightly disappointed us. We joke – we were swooning the whole time.

Connor exclusively told heatworld, 'We’re not on an actual break, but we just haven’t released anything in years.'

He went on to explain that everyone’s just been busy doing real-life, adult, responsible things (rude). 'Tris, our drummer, he’s out in America with his wife. They’ve got a baby called Ryder, who’s really cute. So he’s focusing on that. Brad’s doing his solo stuff. And me and James have just started a new band called Dreamhouse.' Honestly, we respect the hustle even if it does mean we’re left replaying 2013 at our desks like it’s our full-time job just to fill the void.

The good news (and we are clinging to it with both hands) is that Connor shut down any whispers of drama. No bad blood, no secret beef, no 'creative differences' statement written by a lawyer at 2am.

'There’s no bad blood within The Vamps’ world,' he insisted, adding that the main issue is simply timing – and not wanting to return half-heartedly.

'We just haven’t done anything for a little while, which I’m sure at some point we will. But it’s about making the timing right. We don’t want to do it half‑arsed. We want to go away, write an album, write a body of work, and then come back properly.' Fine, we'll take it.

Away from The Vamps tea, Mollie and Connor - who have been dating for almost year after meeting through Dancing on Ice - are gearing up for a seriously intense charity challenge.

The pair are walking five marathons in five days - around 130 miles - next week in support of Crohn’s & Colitis UK next, a charity close to Mollie’s heart. Diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at 11, Mollie lives with a stoma she’s named Sid, and she’s determined to raise awareness for conditions people still don’t talk about enough.

WATCH: The Traitors series 4 winner Stephen Libby reveals what Claudia Winkleman is REALLY like in the castle. Spoiler alert: MOTHER.

After 12 seasons of Love Island you'd think nothing could surprise us, but oh how we were wrong earlier this month when speculation began to arise surrounding Shakira Khan, Toni Laites and Yasmin Pettet's friendship.

They gave themselves the nickname 'The Outcasts' following their rocky time in the villa alongside Meg Moore, Helena Ford and Megan Forte Clarke (although they're now pals with the latter), and despite the constant clashes on Love Island, Shakira, Toni and Yas remained unstoppable besties.

Their friendship remained just as strong on the outside - going on press trips, doing ads and walking red carpets together, but at the beginning of March, fans began to speculate that they'd fallen out.

It all kicked off following the BRITs where Toni and Cach Mirjah Mercer apparently had a row and following all the reports about the Love Island 2025 winners apparently splitting (although neither of them have confirmed anything), one fan accused Shakira of leaving Toni out.

'What a bad friend you are!! You left Toni on her own after the BRITs and being friends with Harrison [Solomon] is a CHOICE,' they wrote on one of Shakira's TikToks.

The Love Island finalist then replied, 'I beg, touch grass you don't know any of us.'

Yas then weighed in on their rumoured feud and didn't exactly shut down rumours, but then Toni commented 'my girls' under one of Shakira's Instagram posts and we've been confused ever since.

However, it looks like all is well in the world again because Shakira and Toni have been spotted together at an Outcast event.

In a video posted on her Instagram Story, Shakira can be seen getting a shot and as she moves to the side, a mystery person can be seen standing next to her. While neither of them tagged each other on their Instagram Story and you can't even see the mystery influencer's face we did some digging (aka looked on Toni's Instagram Story) and saw that the mystery person was in fact Toni.

Now, if they were feuding, surely they wouldn't be hanging out together an event, right?

Shakira then reposted a photo of herself and Toni posing together which basically confirms they're still besties and we were panicking for no reason at all.

While Yas was MIA, she's recently posted photos with Shakira and Toni confirming that The Big Three are still in fact, The Big Three.

Phew.

On Tuesday evening, fashion brand OUTCAST hosted their Behind Closed Doors event, at London hotspot SOMA, Soho. Notable guests included Grace Jackson, Toni Laites, Shakira Khan, Melissa Tattum, Sophia Hadjipanteli.

WATCH: Love Island's Harry opens up about the infamous villa divide 👀

Eden-Olivia is the deputy editor of heatworld and she’s worked in showbiz since 2016. She started watching Love Island in 2017 because of her job. However Montana Brown remaining unphased by absolutely everything kept her entertained and she’s watched every series since.

His name has been in the papers A LOT recently, following the demise of his marriage to Love Island star Olivia Attwood, but who exactly is Bradley Dack?

During his romance to former Love Island 2017 fan fave, the footballer was all over her socials and appeared on several of her documentaries but since their relationship came crashing Bradley has been, unsurprisingly, quiet.

That being said, it always is interesting to see the other half (be in past, current or soon-to-be) of a celeb fave, so here is everything you need to know about the ex Mr Olivia Attwood.

Who is Bradley Dack?

Bradley is a professional footballer from London (Greenwich to be precise) who rose through the ranks at Charlton Athletic before signing for Gillingham in 2010 on a three-year scholarship deal.

He then joined Blackburn Rovers on a three-year-deal for a fee of £750,000 plus add-ons in 2017. After six years, he joined Sunderland in 2023 on a one-year contract with the possibility of a one-year extension but now he's back playing for Gillingham.

When did Bradley Dack join Blackburn Rovers?

After joining the team in 2017, in his first season Bradley finished as the club's top scorer, scoring 18 times in 42 league appearances. He went from strength to strength during his time playing with the team. In December of 2020 Blackburn announced that Bradley had signed a new two-and-a-half-year deal that would run until the summer of 2023, with the club having the option to take up an additional year.

Does Bradley Dack know any TOWIE cast member?

While our sport game knowledge may be a liiiiiittle sketchy, what we do know is TOWIE. And sometimes even celebs like former star Clelia Theodorou come out and cheer on Bradders from the side.

Turns out Bradley does know some of the TOWIE cast and that's probably because Olivia appeared on the show alongside her BFFs Clelia and Nicole Bass.

Thank you for coming to our sport report.

Bradley Dack's injuries

Over the last few years, multiple injuries have prevented Bradley from being able to play. In December 2019 he suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury, which prevented him from being able to play for almost a year.

In March 2021 he suffered the same injury on his other knee (talk about unlucky), which required him to undergo surgery and led to him not being able to play for a further five months (oof).

Bradley made his return to competitive football on 12 March 2022, a year since his last game for Blackburn.

What is Bradley Dack's net worth?

In 2020 Bradley's net worth was estimated to be between £3-5million (wow).

What are Bradley Dack's wages?

When Bradley Dack was signed to Blackburn Rovers, he was reportedly payed £728,000 as his signing fee.

For the 2019/20 season, Bradley was estimated to have been paid £8,000 per week but this doesn't factor in any performance-based bonuses. It is likely that Bradley’s salary has increased in the following years, especially since his contract was renewed and he then switched teams.

Do Bradley Dack and Olivia Attwood live together?

Afraid not, they used to live together with their dogs Lola and Stitch in a gorgeous Cheshire gaff but when they split, Liv moved out.

Why was Bradley Dack and Olivia Attwood's wedding cancelled?

Bradley and Olivia's wedding was cancelled once again to allow Bradley to focus on his career. At the time Olivia spoke exclusively to heat, explaining, 'It’s nothing to cry about – we still want to get married at some point, but we just felt like next summer, Brad really needs to be focused on his return to football [he’s been injured] and I’ve got a lot on my plate, work-wise.'

She continued saying the decision was a bigger deal for Bradley than her. She said, 'I think Brad struggled with the decision more than me, because more of the stress lands on the girl, doesn’t it?

'So, for him, he was like, “Let’s just do it.” But I was trying to think of how we were going to make it happen and enjoy it.'

From this it is clear that there was no drama when they decided to cancel the wedding - it was a purely pragmatic decision.

When did Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack get married?

Bradley married the former Love Islander in June 2023 after a four-year engagement.  Fans were able to see the nuptials on Olivia Marries Her Match.

When did Bradley Dack and Olivia Attwood split up?

The couple broke up in January 2026 after nearly three years of marriage. Since they broke up Olivia has been spotted kissing her close pal and colleague Pete Wicks.

Does Bradley Dack have Instagram?

He does - you can follow him @bradleydack1.

WATCH: Name a more iconic duo than Love Island's Leanne and Scott… We’ll wait 😂

It's been well over a month since Love Island: All Stars 2026 wrapped, and we're somehow still talking about it. No, not 'somehow' – we know exactly why: Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies won with 35.22 percent of the vote, then split IRL just three weeks later. A truly tragic Love Island record.

What's not helped slow the rumour mill down is the fact that neither of them have spoken out about the split – or even confirmed it's happened, which is a great way to hit headlines, but also a great way to rile up the fans.

But after weeks of speculation, it looks like Ciaran is ready to reveal all on Joe Baggs' podcast, Not My Bagg, today (Thursday 26 March). A teaser clip has landed on the podcast's socials, and naturally the comments section is doing what it does best: spiralling, theorising, and playing detective.

One comment in particular caught our eye – from fellow All Star and queen-of-queens Whitney Adebayo, who wrote, 'I hope you charged it to the game 💔.'; Oh so Whitney. And a very telling line, especially given she’s close to Samie...

With Samie and Ciaran keeping quiet, other All Stars 2026 Islanders have been asked about the split over the last few weeks, but most have dodged the topic like pros whenever a phone or camera appears – well, everyone apart from Tyrique Hyde.

ICYMI, the working theory is that Samie and Ciaran ended things because of her connection with fellow Islander Tyrique - who's been very vocal lately, calling Samie a 'special person in my life right now' - IRL.

The rumours first kicked off earlier this month while Samie was on a brand trip in New York City and Ciaran was moving into a London Airbnb with US bombshells Yamen Sanders and Zac Woodworth.

Add to that: the newly-crowned winners stopped interacting online entirely – no cute comments, no flirty likes, no 'miss u already' energy. It was giving split.

And let's be real: for a couple who just won All Stars, that's not exactly standard behaviour.

Of course, we won’t get the full tea until Ciaran spills tonight – but until then? Charge it.

WATCH: Love Island Scott and Leanne lift the lid on their THREE HOUR unaired chat 👀

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer Online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with The Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

They say revenge is best served cold, but Lily Allen is serving it up hot.

First, she hit back at her unfaithful ex David Harbour with a confessional album hotter than anything Taylor’s spat out about her break-ups. Now, she’s taken it up a notch, throwing shade at Harbour with a steamy shoot for Intimissimi that’s bound to leave him regretting his choices.

According to the sultry lingerie brand, the campaign ‘follows Miss Allen through a series of private, “getting ready” moments after she receives a cryptic invitation, dressed in Intimissimi’s iconic lingerie and nightwear. Is she going to an exclusive soirée? Or a private rendezvous?’

We’re pretty sure it’s not a friendly catch-up with her ex!

At 40, Lily dubbed her breakup album West End Girl ‘autofiction’- a blend of reality and fiction - yet her insights into her open marriage and David’s alleged three-year affair with costume designer Natalie Tippett left fans in shock.

In true Lily fashion, she held nothing back. Lyrics referencing her ex’s alleged ‘pussy palace’ - complete with ‘sex toys, butt plugs, lube inside/hundreds of Trojans’ - and a nod to his ‘other woman’, whom she cheekily called ‘Madeline’, raised eyebrows everywhere.

Reports suggest that David, star of Stranger Things, was ‘livid’ about being publicly branded a ‘sex addict’.

An insider revealed at the time, ‘David knew the album would be spicy, but he wasn’t ready for such explicit details! The embarrassment is through the roof, and he’s really struggling with it. He can’t believe he’s being portrayed as this skirt-chasing ‘monster’ and the worst husband ever. Naturally, he’s telling everyone he doesn’t deserve this.

‘He can’t defend himself because people suspect he’s guilty of everything Lily’s accused him of - and more. He’s acting like she’s in the wrong for airing what he did to her, rather than taking responsibility for his actions.’

The couple connected on dating app Raya in 2019 and tied the knot the following year. Lily moved her family - daughters Ethel, 13, and Marnie - to New York to start a new life with David, 50. But it wasn’t long before cracks began to show, as detailed in West End Girl. Though Lily seemed to agree to an open marriage, it came with a condition according to these lyrics: ‘We had an arrangement/Be discreet and don't be blatant/There had to be payment/ It had to be with strangers.’ Seems simple enough, right?

Our insider shared, ‘It was tough to watch her being misled and seemingly lied to. It was obvious he was playing her, but she refused to see it. He seemed to be love-bombing her from the start, but it’s hard to tell someone that when they’re completely smitten.’

Most of Lily’s friends believe she went along with the open relationship to keep him. The hardest part for her was investing so much of her life in him.

Anyway, she seems to have moved on, with whispers of a romance with Jonah Freud - the great-great-grandson of famed psychologist Sigmund. We assume he’ll be spending plenty of time discussing his family history and his relationship with his parents. As for David? He may or may not be seeing a model 22 years his junior. Shocking, right?

But let’s get back to those hot pics. Lily exclaimed, ‘I was thrilled to be asked to be the brand’s ambassador. They treat every piece with such care. My absolute favourite style is an underwired bra with a sheer cup; I love the structure and support of a comfy wire for a busy day, but that sheer finish is my absolute must-have.’

To be honest, we can imagine the under-wiring is also a priority since she had her boob job last February.

WATCH: The cast of Sex Education play 'Who's Most Likely To..?'

In a rather epic fall from grace last week, Hollywood’s golden boy of the moment, Timothée Chalamet, lost out on the Oscar for Best Actor; a career-defining gong that he had been highly anticipated to win for his leading role in Marty Supreme.

Of course, it’s a minor blip that many of the Hollywood greats have faced, but Timothée's defeat has been labelled a ‘pure humiliation’ after he was publicly mocked by host Conan O’Brien over his remark earlier this month that ‘no one cares’ about opera or ballet; with viewers also asking why he opted to dress as a ‘milkman' in all white for the prestigious awards bash.

His loss to Michael B Jordan for Sinners also came after Timothée, 30, labelled his own acting skills as ‘top level s***’ and appeared to… milk his romance with reality star Kylie Jenner, 28, to fuel publicity – even going as far as to wear matching fluorescent orange outfits to the premiere of the ping pong flick.

Now, we’re told that as he’s branded the Oscars' ‘laughing stock’, his relationship with Kylie may have reached a major make or break moment, as a source says friends are urging him to pump the brakes on his bravado and focus on his acting rather than being swallowed up by the Kardashian machine.

An insider says, ‘Everyone in the industry is saying he would have won [Best Actor] if he’d have played things differently in the lead up to the awards. There’s this sense that his publicity push and all his outlandish comments are what did him in.

‘A lot of people in his camp are blaming the influence of the Kardashians because he was clearly taking a page out of their no-press-is-bad-press playbook and they're saying this is more proof being associated with their world isn’t doing him any favors professionally.'

They add, ‘It’s obviously a very touchy subject because he and Kylie are happy, their chemistry is off the charts and she’s been nothing but sweet and accommodating so it’s very tough for him to hear people criticizing her and her family. But at the same time, his career is still his first love and he’s incredibly ambitious.’

Winding back to the start of their romance in 2023, at the time it was widely reported that Timothée's friends and even his sister Pauline questioned the compatibility between the reality star-turned-beauty entrepreneur and the Hollywood ‘actor of the moment’.

Hints from insiders last year that the A Complete Unknown actor had already purchased a $300,000 rock then further led to reports that Timothée's family had cruelly labelled the prospect of the pair walking up the aisle as a ‘terrible mistake’.

Describing the loved-up duo as 'complete opposites’, a family member said at the time last March, ‘It's a mystery. Many of us don't understand how they connect and click. I think she's only with him so she can stay in the spotlight. She's done this before in her previous relationships with other artists and rappers.’

Meanwhile, in May – when Kylie appeared to flash a giant rock on her ring finger during a particularly racy lingerie shoot – it was reported how Timothée's once-close relationship with his sister Pauline was at an ‘all-time’ low over her disapproval of his relationship with Kylie, who she reportedly doesn’t believe has the same ‘morals and values’ as her brother.

And potentially proving that Kylie and Pauline’s alleged frosty friendship hasn’t yet warmed up; a body language expert claimed that Pauline had ‘dismissed Kylie quickly’ and given her the ‘cold shoulder’ in footage of Kylie trying to embrace her at the Oscars, that later went viral.

Now the source says this latest hurdle has prompted ‘warnings’ from those very same people that he needs to prioritise his career and ‘distance himself’ from his high-profile romance.

‘He’s already throwing himself into his next role [in Dune: Part 3] and he’s got people in his ear, including his sister Pauline, who are warning him to stay focused on his work,’ the insider says.

‘With another long shoot coming up and all the pressure that comes with that, plus the constant push from people around him to distance himself from Kylie, it’s hard to see how this isn’t going to cause serious strain between them.’

But make no mistake; Kylie is no ‘hanger on, having created an empire of her own after starting out on KUWTK nearly two decades ago, aged just 10. At 21, Forbes named her the youngest ever self-made billionaire. So naturally, the insider says that those within the Kylie Cosmetics founder’s inner circle find it ‘laughable’ that the blame for Timothée's Oscars snub is her fault at all.

The source says, ‘People in Kylie’s world find it pretty laughable that anyone would try and pin the blame on her and her family for Timothée's big Oscar fumble. He’s a fully grown adult who made his own choices, not some puppet under Kylie’s spell.

‘If anything, her friends would argue she’s under his spell because she’s constantly obsessing about him and how to impress him.’

Meanwhile, we’re told that while the Wonka actor undoubtedly tends to the knocks his ego has taken over the past few days, Kylie has been ‘bending over backwards’ to try and cheer him up; a kindness her pals are less than impressed by as they remind her what a catch she is.

‘He’s moping around about losing [the Oscar], she’s having to work overtime to try and cheer him up. And instead of being grateful to her and thanking her for her support he’s moody all the time,’ the insider says.

‘It’s got a lot of people in her circle telling her she needs to stand up for herself and remind him that she’s the prize. The problem is, she seems convinced he’s the prize and she bends over backwards to keep him happy and make sure he’s comfortable, which is only making him more aloof.’

We have previously revealed, however, that the chemistry between the couple has been red hot since the beginning of their romance, and the insider says that during what may be a tricky time, their connection between the sheets is still as strong as ever.

‘The one thing that's still as strong as ever is the chemistry,’ we’re told. ‘Kylie is very confident in that aspect of the relationship and she brags all the time that what they have in the bedroom isn’t something he’s going to get anywhere else.’

In January, speculation began swirling that, following his gushing acceptance speech at the Critics Choice Awards; during which he thanked his partner, adding ‘I love you’, Timothée had then gone on to pop The Question to Kylie.

Just days later, Kylie uploaded a beauty tutorial to social media, but fans couldn’t help but notice the ‘ill-fitting’ huge diamond ring the KUWTK star wore on her little finger.

One fan commented, ‘It HAS to be an engagement ring because it’s too big to be fitted for her pinky,’ while another added, ‘Mrs. Chalamet has never looked this beautiful. A touch of happiness made her glow.’

But now the source says Kylie’s friends are asking her to take a long hard look at the situation before she makes any major decisions over her future with Timothée.

The insider says, ‘They are asking her if that’s really enough for long term. They’re warning her that she’s creating a major imbalance by letting him get away with this kind of bratty behavior. She’s defending him and saying that he’s just going through a tough time, but a lot of her friends are saying she’s in denial.

‘Everyone knows Kylie wants things to move to the next level, she wants a ring on her finger but there’s no indication that Timmy’s anywhere near ready to propose. If anything, he seems married to his career, that's why they're at this crossroads.’

WATCH: The cast of Sex Education play 'Who's Most Likely To..?'

Did we miss a chapter in the Olivia Attwood x Bradley Dack tale of treachery and deceit? Last we checked the Love Island star was snogging Pete Wicks and Bradley was fuming and had unfollowed his ex on Instagram. However, recent reports claim that Brad is already dating someone else and apparently it's an ex.

Rumours have it that the footballer is back with Emily Rose Moloney, and we'll be honest we had no idea those two even dated because weren't him and Olivia together for, like, ever? We assume it was around the time Liv was on Love Island and being romanced by Chris Hughes.

Taking to social media, Emily declared 'what a time to be alive' as she celebrated Hannah Montana day by singing in her car like every other millennial or gen z who was obsessed with the Disney show back in the day.

'After everything Bradley has done, Olivia’s friends can’t believe he is back with his ex all while he’s begging Olivia to take him back,' an insider told The Sun.

Brad and Emily apparently dated in 2017 but he split with the influencer in order to rekindle his love affair with Olivia. Obviously it worked (at least for a while) as Bradley and Olivia ended up tying the knot in 2023 before their split three years later due to a 'breach of trust'.

Just a few months after Olivia moved out and confirmed her and Bradley were no longer an item she was snapped kissing Pete Wicks during a rather cozy dinner date. Obviously neither Pete or Liv have addressed the news but reports declared Bradley was livid.

'Bradley was hopeful for a reunion with Olivia but after this, he’s just livid and will take her to the cleaners,' the earlier publication reported.

Wait, does Bradley know he is back with Emily? Because if he has a new girlfriend, we're not sure he has the right to be annoyed at Olivia, especially if he 'breached her trust' and that's why they split... But who are we to comment, eh?

Love Island legend Olivia Attwood’s messy split from footballer husband Bradley Dack has taken another turn as one of her showbiz pals has unfollowed her followed her not long after she was pictured kissing radio co-host Pete Wicks.

Olivia and Bradley split back in January, but things got complicated over the weekend when she and Pete were spotted locking lips on a night out and it came to light that Bradley’s alleged cheating was the reason for the breakdown of their marriage.

Bradley unfollowed his ex-wife on Instagram over the weekend but he wasn’t the only one as their mutual pal – and Love Island 2024 star – Ronnie Vint also cut ties with Olivia in the past couple of days.

‘Ronnie hoped his strained friendship with Olivia would eventually work itself out. He’s Bradley’s best friend so it was always going to be awkward as they got used to the “new normal”, navigating life after the split,’ a source told The Sun.

‘But Ronnie has been telling friends he thinks Olivia has been a massive hypocrite. She’s insinuated that Bradley’s bad behaviour was the reason behind their break-up, but is now pictured on the front page of The Sun kissing her friend.

‘Ronnie’s furious about the whole thing. Perception-wise, it clearly looks like something was going on between Olivia and Pete for a while.’

Olivia has also unfollowed Ronnie, who was Bradley's best man at their wedding, after discovering 'he knew more than he let on' following Brad's reported 'breach of trust'.

'Olivia made the decision to distance herself from Ronnie due to being deeply upset by his actions,' another source told the publication.'

They added, 'Although they were just friends, Olivia considered Ronnie as family.'

When he’s not interviewing former Islanders, Nathan is scrolling through their Instagram feeds for relationship updates and piping hot tea.

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie are reportedly facing mounting pressure over their royal status, but insiders claim they may have more leverage than expected as tensions grow with Prince William.

The latest developments come just weeks after it was revealed how the sisters have been banned from attending Royal Ascot alongside the rest of the Royal Family, a move widely viewed as a public snub. Now, reports have suggest they’ve also been encouraged to step back from using their royal titles altogether.

The situation follows the dramatic fall from grace of their father, Andrew, Mountbatten-Windsor, who was stripped of his titles last year. Since then, Beatrice, 37 and Eugenie, 35, have largely stayed out of the spotlight, but speculation is intensifying that they could be the next to be pushed further from the core of the monarchy.

Former BBC royal correspondent Jennie Bond recently weighed in, explaining, ‘I don’t think either of them has ever flaunted their titles, but there’s obviously a huge cachet in some circles about being called a Princess. A title like that opens doors and sets up connections, which both Beatrice and Eugenie have used to their advantage.

‘There’s nothing wrong in that, but now that their father has been stripped of his titles and their mother can no longer use hers, they might like to quietly drop the use of theirs.’

Despite the mounting pressure, sources insist the sisters are not prepared to accept any changes without resistance, particularly when it comes to their place within the family and their homes.

An insider says, ‘Beatrice and Eugenie believe William would like to see them cut out in the same way their father and mother have been, and they just aren’t going to let that happen without pushing back hard.

‘They do understand why Charles and William had to treat Andrew the way they have, but they see no reason they should be punished for his sins. All they’ve done is keep their heads down and try to serve the monarchy as best as they can; they don’t deserve to be banished.’

One of the biggest flashpoints appears to be property. With the monarchy’s vast estate holdings, valued at over £15 billion, sparking debates as to who is entitled to live in royal residences.

Questions are being asked about why Beatrice and Eugenie, who are not working royals, still occupy homes on palace grounds. Beatrice is believed to retain a residence at St James’s Palace, while Eugenie lives part-time at Ivy Cottage within Kensington Palace.

Calls for change are growing louder, with some urging King Charles to reconsider the Princesses’ living arrangements. However, insiders say the sisters are determined not to give up what they see as rightfully theirs.

The insider says, ‘They feel strongly that they have a right to hang on to their royal homes and their ties to the family. They both love having residences connected to royal palaces; for them, it feels like home, so of course, they are hugely concerned and will use all the leverage they have to stand their ground and keep their properties.

‘They're still struggling to believe that their uncle and cousin would really evict them, but if that does happen, it will be the spark that lights the fuse. There’s been some talk that they may resort to hiring lawyers and going to the press to really create some noise.

‘And, of course, there’s also the possibility that they could do a tell-all, that’s going to become a lot more likely if William goes after them. It’s certainly something they can use as a threat to try and get him to back off.’

For years, Beatrice and Eugenie maintained relatively positive public images, even as controversy surrounding their parents intensified. However, recent events, including Andrew’s arrest, have shifted public sentiment, with increasing calls for the sisters to also lose their titles and positions.

Media attention has extended internationally, with questions even being raised in the US about their knowledge of past events, though there remains no evidence of wrongdoing on their part, and they are not accused of any wrongdoing. Still, the pressure is clearly being felt behind palace walls.

We’re told, ‘Eugenie and Beatrice are in such a precarious position. On one hand, they don’t want to do anything that could push things over the edge and leave them totally estranged from their family, that’s why they’ve been walking on eggshells.’

The late Queen Elizabeth II’s famous approach of ‘Never complain, Never explain’ appears increasingly difficult to maintain under current circumstances.

‘Their parents begged them to speak to Charles and William on their behalf, and both girls refused because they were so worried about it coming back to bite them,’ the insider adds.

‘They felt it was best to stay silent and show the Firm that they were going to follow what they were told to do – and in some ways they're still clinging to that hope. But now there's also this sense that they need to show some strength and let William know the cards they're holding before he makes any final decisions.’

Although no official decisions have been announced, William is said to favour a stricter approach; one that mirrors the action already taken against Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

Given the close childhood bonds between the cousins, strengthened by Sarah’s friendship with Princess Diana, some observers have questioned whether this apparent shift reflects a broader effort to protect the monarchy from further controversy.

For now, uncertainty remains over what will happen next, but insiders suggest the sisters are ready to act if necessary.

We’re told, ‘If William backs them into a corner, you better believe they’re going to come out swinging. They're both pretty disgusted by him, and they’ve vowed not to just pack up and give in.

‘He may think he can sideline them easily, but the York girls are a lot tougher than he might imagine. They’re very much their parents’ daughters, and they’ve inherited that same stubborn streak that Andrew and Sarah both have in spades.’

The insider adds, ‘At the end of the day, they feel they have certain rights, and they’re determined to protect them for their own sake and for the sake of their own children too. If William thinks they’re simply going to fade politely into the background, he’s seriously underestimating them.’

Duffy was literally everywhere in 2008 and 2009 – with the kind of voice that seemed to mutually excite and haunt you in the most unique and powerful ways. Warm, unmistakable and completely her own, her music was showcased on radio playlists across the globe, powered by her multi-platinum debut Rockferry and its chart-topping lead single, Mercy.

Then she vanished from the public eye.

Content warning: sexual assault

In 2020, Duffy shared a harrowing statement revealing that around a decade earlier she had been drugged, kidnapped, taken to another country and subjected to violent sexual abuse. She described the devastating impact the experience had on her life and the reasons she withdrew from the public eye in a powerful statement online. Since then, she has largely remained out of the spotlight – until now.

On Wednesday 25 March 2026, Disney+ confirmed it will release a feature-length documentary telling Duffy’s story on film for the first time. The documentary is described as a retrospective, spanning her upbringing in Wales, her meteoric rise to fame, and the years that followed as she stepped back from public life.

According to Disney+, the project will be a Hulu Original film, featuring new access to Duffy, alongside a 'rich and nostalgic archive' and interviews with family, friends and close music-industry peers. The film is being made with Rare TV and Stellify Media, with Northern Ireland Screen also referenced as part of the wider collaboration.

Sean Doyle, Vice President of Unscripted at Disney+, commented, 'Fifteen years ago, Duffy was one of the most famous singers in the world. Her voice was distinctly recognisable and powerful. Songs “Mercy” and “Warwick Avenue” from her debut album led to 3 Brit Awards, a Grammy and Duffy being at the peak of her career. And then she disappeared.

'This film will give Duffy the chance to tell her story in her own words. I am grateful to our collaborators at Rare TV for this unprecedented access, along with Stellify Media for handling this project with sensitivity and care. We set out in a search for impactful, female-led stories in collaboration with Northern Ireland Screen, and it’s a privilege that Duffy’s is the first we’re able to help tell. But above all, I’m especially in awe of Duffy - for her honesty and courage to share her story.'

Director Gill Callan added, 'Duffy’s life has been shaped by success and fame, but equally by pain, defiance, and an irrepressible sense of self. I’m drawn to the tension between vulnerability and confidence in her story and how a person can be deeply affected by their experiences, yet still find a powerful, expressive voice that is unmistakably hers.'

For now, there’s no word yet on the documentary’s title or exactly when it’ll land on Disney+ – but it’s already shaping up to be a major release, and one that (crucially) appears focused on Duffy telling her story on her own terms.

We’re only a week into the brand new series of Made in Chelsea and the drama is drama-ing, one person who has found himself smack bang in the middle of the Chelsea chaos is Chuggs Wallis.

The once Love Island now Made in Chelsea chap has come under fire from Phil Pollard, his sis Jules Pollard, her boyfriend AND Chuggs' pal Tristan Phipps for saying things he probably shouldn't be saying.

But as it turns out viewers aren't all that interested in the theory that Chuggs fancies his best mates' partner (tea we know), fans are more focused on the fact that they STILL don't know what his real name is.

Yup, Chuggs has been on THREE different TV shows; Love Island 2021, Love Island All Stars and Made in Chelsea but you lot still think his government name is Chuggs... It's a good job we're here to keep you in the know, isn't it?

Cast your minds back to when Paige Turleyand Finn Tapp were a couple following Love Island series six and during an interview with Harriet Rose and Chris Taylor for heat's Under the Duvet, they were chatting about Love Island 2021.

During the exclusive chat the topic of a certain Chuggs popped up and Paige quizzed, 'There’s the two new bombshell boys isn’t there?'

'Yeah, one of them owns a bucket hat company, what do you think his real name is? Chuggington? Barnaby?' Harriet joked.

Erm no, his nickname is Chuggs but his birth name is actually Oliver George Lee Wallis and is it just us or does Ollie not suit him so much?

What is the meaning behind Chuggs' name?

Despite Chris thinking Chuggs' nickname was founded at university and has something to do with 'chugging drinks', the mystery surrounding his name was revealed on his Love Island stint during a date with Sharon Gaffka.

After Sharon questioned his name, he came clean, explaining that it is actually a 'baby name' mash-up made using the words 'cuddles and hugs'.

He said, 'It's my nickname, like a baby name. Cuddles and hugs. My Christian name is Oliver.'

'Okay...that's cute. I looked at it and was a bit like, "Oh no, I feel like there's a story behind it."'

There is a story behind it, it's just much more endearing than anyone thought it would be.

Series 31 of the reality TV show returned earlier on this month and at the start Jazz was still very much in a relationship with Demi, as a viewer we knew their breakup was just around the corner as they split in December 2025. By episode three Jazz confirmed that her and Demi were no more and within the same episode confessed to bestie Jules Pollard that she definitely fancied Inga, who had returned to MIC after a two year hiatus.

As if this isn't awkward enough, there were rumours constantly circulating that Inga was the reason for Demi and Jazz's split, or at least played a part in the demise of their romance, which Inga was quick to put to bed.

Obviously, we are yet to find out how Inga takes the news that her apparent bestie has a crush on (that's on the next ep, we think) but that doesn't change the fact that a) Demi is watching her break on TV b) Jazz admitted she had feelings for Inga after just ending her relationship with Demi and c) Jazz was FUMING people thought she fancied Inga.

Demi has been posting A LOT on social media since the return of MIC, just last week she responded tofans who offered kinds words as they witnessed her relationship fall apart on-screen, and now the former TOWIE star is talking all things loyalty.

In a TikTok she shared just a day after the episode aired where Jazz admitted she had more than platonic feelings for Inga, Demi declared, 'Loyalty in the talking stage >' with the caption, 'Let’s be obsessed from day 1.'

'THIS THIS AND THIS👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼,' someone commented.

And on a video Demi posted the day Made in Chelsea aired, a follower wrote, 'Demi stans, how are we feeling now that our girl has been VINDICATED due to the new season airing? 🤝 The real ones always knew ❤️.'

The latest series of MAFS Australia has been wild.

We've had Chris Nield saying his turn offs are 'fake tans, needy and fat people', Brook Crompton and Gia Fleur have been branded 'mean girls' following their bizarre behaviour and Mel Akbay received backlash amid her treatment towards husband Luke Fourniotis.

And now, Steve Powell has caused a stir during an awkward conversation with Married at First Sight expert Alessandra Rampolla. During an intimacy workshop with the grooms, Alessandra asked Steve about his relationship with his wife Rebecca Zukowski and it pretty much went downhill from there.

'I feel like you're skirting around my questions and trying to sound good and I don't really like that,' Alessandra told the MAFS groom.

Steve hit back and said, 'Well, I disagree with you. Ask me a question and I'll give you a genuine answer, I don't have an earpiece in my ear.

'I'm not waiting for someone to tell me what to say.'

Oh.

Alessandra then went on to say, 'I'm not waiting for anyone to tell me what to say. Honestly, the lack of respect you're showing me as somebody who is here to help guide you is appalling.

'Really tread lightly, I don't take to this well.'

And when Steve attempted to backtrack and insist he wasn't throwing shade at Alessandra, the sex expert hit back and said, 'Honestly, who else would you be referring to? It's so absurd.'

Now though, Alessandra has spoken out about the incident and what was really going on.

'We are of course filming a TV show. Cameras are involved and there's a control room, and I need to know the cameras are ready and when I can go and when I cannot,' she told Channel Nine.

'I was very surprised he went the confrontational route because I was pressing him because he wasn't being forthright in his answers. When he didn't give a clear and direct answer he then came on the attack, I wasn't expecting that.

'That's one of the things that will happen on Married At First Sight, you're put in situations where your true colours will come out. You're pushed in different ways and that was [him] showing his discomfort.'

Hundreds of people were quick to praise Alessandra with one person commenting, 'I love Alessandra standing in her power. Grace and composure.'

Someone else said, 'You go Alessandra ! 👏.'

A third wrote, 'I absolutely love Alessandra. She’s clearly a true professional with legitimate qualifications and genuine care for her field and the couples. She’s also such a strong woman who can hold her own. Props to you babe.'

One more added, 'I’m confused, why do those people go to this show when they don’t even try to have a go for their relationship?'

Eden-Olivia is the deputy editor of heatworld and she’s worked in showbiz since 2016. She loves watching MAFS UK and AU and one of her favourite contestants of all time is the iconic Collins Christian.

Most Love Island stars strut into the villa, cause a mild ruckus, fail to form a connection and end up getting dumped. They then do their best to stay in the spotlight for a few weeks before eventually getting fed up of paying for their own return train tickets to London and slipping back into normality. Others are Maura Higgins.

No shade to any Islanders who fall into the former category, but very few have followed the same trajectory as Love Island 2019's Maura.

She slayed on the show, stayed in the headlines, worked with endless brands, landed a job on Love Island USA, took part in I'm A Celeb, and made it all the way to the final of The Traitors US last year.

Not to mention she consistently looks like a literal work of art on every red carpet she graces.

She's up there with Love Island titans Molly-Mae Hague and Ekin Su Cülcüloğlu, and her star only seems to be soaring higher.

According to reports, US telly bosses have seen something special in Maura, because the Irish beauty is rumoured to be in talks for the next series of The Bachelorette – as THE Bachelorette. Obsessed.

In case you’re not up on your US-based reality shows (don’t worry, we get paid to internationally obsess), every week the Bachelorette dates a group of contestants, hands out roses to keep her favourites, and sends the rest home – while drama erupts between the guys.

According to a source close to celeb gossip account DeuxMoi, rumours began swirling after ABC pulled Taylor Frankie Paul's (from The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives) season of The Bachelorette in the wake of domestic violence allegations. The US network is reportedly on the hunt for a replacement lead to front a live-filmed run – and they’re allegedly looking in Maura's direction.

DeuxMoi reports, 'ABC exec friend said that they are looking into getting Maura Higgins to be the new bachelorette and do a live shooting of it.'

They added, 'They shut down Layla [Taylor] and Miranda [McWhorter] as a dual season and are trying to steer away from the SSOMW girlies.'

Maura is yet to confirm the news, but she did take to the comments section to drop an '👀' emoji – only adding to the hype (this ain't her first rodeo).

Naturally, fans are losing it in the comments over Maura's rumoured new telly gig, with one supporter writing, 'Best idea they've ever had – I’ve loved her since Love Island UK!!!!!' while another added, 'I don’t watch The Bachelorette but I’d watch a season with her leading it. So much charisma.'

If the rumours are true, the lads better beware: Maura might be looking like a rose, but we all know she comes with (iconic) thorns.

Maura arrived late as a bombshell in Love Island 2019 and instantly caused villa mayhem by going for Tommy Fury, even though he was coupled up with Molly-Mae.

After that fizzled, she coupled up with Curtis Pritchard, had a big confrontation with Tom Walker over his rude comment, and she and Curtis made the final and finished fourth.

Love Island: All Stars 2026 champs Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies broke the record for the fastest split between a winning couple earlier this month when they split just three weeks after triumphing over winners up Millie Court and Zac Woodworth.

While it’s not exactly an ideal record to hold, at least Samie and Ciaran have their £25,000 share of the prize money to dry their eyes with.

And, in the wake of the split, Ciaran has revealed he’s got big plans for the cash despite previously promising to put it in the bank and save it for a rainy day.

Ciaran and Samie also had plans to travel to America together with the prize fund, with Ciaran telling Indiyah Polack, ‘We’re going to Nashville, and then we’re going to meet up with, we spoke mostly to Millie and Zac. So, we’re going to meet up with Millie and Zac in Nashville. I know Scott [van-der-Sluis] and Leanne [Amaning] mentioned they’re going to come as well. Yamen [Sanders] and Whit [Adebayo] too,’ after the final.

However, now they’re no longer an item, Ciaran has very different plans for the money. Speaking to The Tab, he explained, ‘At first it was going in the bank, saving up on a deposit for a house.

‘But my car’s starting to break down, so I think a bit of it is going to go on an a new car.’

And Ciaran’s motor of choice? A Mercedes GLE.

Now, we’re no Jeremy Clarkson here at heat, but Ciaran described the car as a ‘nice big one’. And it’s pretty spenny too, with the retail price starting at £78,050 – which means, Ciaran will have to spend his entire share of the prize money and more to bag himself his dream car.

Ciaran’s cash confession comes after Samie responded to fans calling for her to ‘give the 50k back’ following her record-breaking split from Ciaran.

When one of her Snapchat followers asked, ‘You giving back the 50k?’, Samie shared a picture of herself looking seriously unimpressed and sarcastically responded, ‘Lol yeah Vina sent your bank deets babe.’

They were the MAFS Australia couple from last year (aka series 12) that we always thought would last and we're pleased to say that we were right about Jeff Gobbels and Rhi Disljenkovic.

The MAFS stars hit it off even before the experiment as we learnt on their wedding day when - before she'd even made it down the aisle - Jeff said, 'Hey Rhi.'

It was followed by a 'Hey Jeff' and it soon dawned on all their guests that they'd previously met. Turns out, Jeff and Rhi actually dated before the experiment but things ended after a few weeks.

'When I walked down the aisle and Jeff turned around I was like, "What the hell? I know him."

'We dated for a month last year and luckily we ended on really good terms, we both had just come out of relationships and I think we're very similar in the fact that we both are glass half full types of people.

'We really just took it on and went with it,' she told Channel Nine.

The MAFS 2025 bride went on to say, 'I was really shocked but I was also pleasantly surprised because we were instantly comfortable around each other. We didn't have to build that relationship with small talk.'

Jeff added, 'Me and Rhi dated for about four or five weeks last year. She'd just come out of a long term relationship, I came out of a relationship and the timing wasn't quite right.

'We had a conversation about us going our separate ways. It was very grown up, very mature and very mutual which is important because if it wasn't a mutual separation then it would have been hard in this experiment.'

Luckily, Jeff and Rhi gave their relationship a good go on the show and despite their challenge of trying to get out of the friend zone early on in the experiment, they were always one of the strongest of couples.

So it came as no surprise that they both admitted they'd fallen in love on the show and vowed to stay together during their final vows.

However, fast forward a year and now that MAFS 2026 is on TV it's left us wondering what Jeff and Rhi are up to and the good news is, they're still loved up.

Confirming that they were still together (even after the show ended) they wrote in a joint Instagram post, 'Thank you all for the incredible love and support throughout our journey!

'We’re beyond grateful for the friendships we’ve made, the memories we’ve shared, and the lessons we’ve learned along the way.

'It’s been a whirlwind of hard work, growth, and unforgettable moments and we still can’t quite believe how far we’ve come and are SO excited for this next chapter together! Thank you to @mafs &  @channel9 for bringing us back together 🤍.'

Not only have they moved in together and gone on lots of holidays, but Rhi has also revealed the reason they've managed to make their relationship work outside the show...

'It helps that Jeff and I are really like-minded people,' she told The House of Wellness.

'We’re both patient, understanding and communicate well, and I think that’s what real love is really built on.'

Rhi and Jeff are one of the last remaining couples from series 12 that are still together. While Jacqui Burfoot and Clint Rice are set to get married FOR REAL in April 2026, they weren't paired together on the experiment – they recoupled outside the show.

Did we ever see Olivia Attwood and Pete Wicks dating? Nope, because she was married to Bradley Dack but now that they've split, the Love Island and TOWIE star have sparked many rumours.

It all kicked off during summer last year when they were spotted looking VERY cozy on a yacht together but at the time Olivia was still happily married to Brad and she even addressed the speculation.

Speaking exclusively to heat she said, 'I am wild, and I do go to Ibiza every year and let my hair down. And I do get told off by my husband.

'I’m not perfect, Brad’s not perfect, but we make it work.’

However, in January 2026, after Olivia confirmed she'd split from her husband of two and a half years, she's been regularly spotted with her pal and co-host Pete at the BRITs, getting a pizza delivered to their hotel and more recently kissing at a bar in London.

And now, the Love Island 2017 star has posted about entering a 'new season' following THAT kiss with Pete.

Sharing a video of herself sitting outside a coffee shop, Olivia captioned the clip '☔️🌤️🍂💌' but it's the audio she used that's very telling: 'It was official, a new season had begun. After all, seasons change so do cities. People come into your life and people go...'

Lots of her followers rushed to comment with one person writing, 'This is going to be best season yet ❤️.'

Someone else said, 'We are all rooting for you 👑.'

A third commented, 'Excited for @p_wicks01 season ❤️❤️.'

One more added, 'It's Wicks season 🙌🙌🙌.'

Olivia entering her new season also comes amid reports that she split from Brad due to a 'breach of trust'.

At the time, a source told The Sun, 'Olivia and Bradley are taking time apart due to a breach in trust on Bradley’s side. They won’t address this publicly but friends and family are aware.

'Separating has never been an option up until now. Olivia is heartbroken. Olivia and Bradley met over a decade ago and their lives and families are so intertwined — which has made the decision to split even more devastating.'

Despite the claims that they won't address their split, they've both been spotted without their wedding rings and Olivia recently posted an emotional photo that seemingly hinted at the 'breach of trust'.

Posting a photo of herself crying, she wrote, 'Reading "hey girly" texts on my break [from filming], gals come to the front today please and then I'm moving on with my life ty x.'

Well, Tyrique has always been open about a crush he has on a certain winter Love Island star named Samie Elishi and when the third season of All Stars was airing, Ty would cover the episode on his Twitch where he happily announced just how much he likes Samie.

Clearly he has taken a leaf out of Tom Holland's book and spoken his dream romance into existence as not long after she won the show alongside Ciaran Davies, the couple split and just a week later, Tyrique took Samie out and they were looking VERY COZY INDEED.

The day after photos of Samie and Ty leaked online, the Love Island 2023 star has spoken out about his new bombshell babe.

'Samie is just a special person in my life right now,' he told his friends and followers in the classic devil may care way Ty always does.

This all came out on Twitch and when one of his pals added, 'You like all the Love Island girls,' Ty quickly shot down the statement.

'I promise you I don't,' he insisted.

See? It's that manifestation vibes, guys. It worked for Tom Holland and Tyrique Hyde. Don't even get us started on Travis Kelce and those friendship bracelets.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or just looking for something fun to do, there’s plenty of fun to be had in March.

Not only is Mother’s Day on 15 March, but it’s also International Women’s Day on Sunday 8 March and there’s loads of amazing events on to celebrate both.

Elsewhere, it's Margarita Month, so we'll definitely be celebrating with a few cocktails.

Vikings: The Immersive Experience

Running from 12 March

Canada Water, London

Live your Vicky the Viking fantasy as this new interactive exhibition in London. It's fair to say, the British Museum this is not. Rather than looking at exhibits that are stuck in glass cases, you'll walk with Ragnar Lodbrok, Queen Aslaug, and their sons Ivar the Boneless and Bjorn Ironside in a virtual reality adventure. It's fun but sneaks in some education too. Hot tip: there's a VR experience that's meant for younger visitors and I recommend asking for that as my five-year-old was a bit overwhelmed by the other one.

Get tickets to Vikings: The Immersive Experience. It's literally next door to the Minecraft Experience. IYKYK. GT

Rewilding Facial, Lush

Running throughout March and beyond

Lush spas throughout the UK

The Rewilding facial at Lush is hands-down the most pleasant facial I've ever had - EVER. I just love everything about it. First up, Lush spas are nice. Really nice. The decor is cool and kooky and not at all clinical. And the staff are friendly. Almost too friendly for a hardbitten Londoner like me (but that's a million times better than being aloof). The treatment starts with a consultation and talk through the products that will be used, and then you're set for a blissful time of being massaged, plumped, cleansed and hydrated. And it's all topped off with a probiotic drink. I've had two now and each time left feeling divine. They're not cheap but - hot dang - they, and you, are worth it. GT

Book the Lush Rewilding facial at £125 for 50 minutes.

Popcorn Margarita Cocktails for film award season

Running until 22 March

Bars across the UK

Classy cocktail chain The Alchemist has put a fun spin on margarita month with a cinema tie-in. Guests can choose to take their drink, as well as their popcorn, sweet or salty as heck and indulge in a cherry blast or silver screen margarita. Or both. You don't have to choose (so long as you drink responsibly). While food won't stop you getting squiffy, we recommend you try the crispy shrooms from the small plates menu that come with a lovely miso mayo. The cauliflower bites are also very much a bit of us. Book a table at the Alchemist.

Matilda the Musical

Throughout March and the Easter holidays and beyond

Cambridge Theatre, London, and touring the UK until January 2027

Matilda the Musical has been running for a solid 15 years in London's West End and yet somehow I hadn't seen it until last week. Oh my gosh. It is good. SO good. I mean, obviously it's good, it's won about one squillion (read: well over a hundred) theatre awards. And yet, for something that's been running for so long, nothing feels tired, or, worse...a bit of an in-joke. It's still joyous, and exuberant, and will make you gasp and laugh and love life. Get your mum tickets for Mother's Day - she'll love Miss Trunchbull - or your kids tickets for the Easter holidays - mine loved Bruce Bogtrotter over Matilda, weird little worms - or just get yourself a ticket because you are worth it. If your budget can stretch to it, I highly recommend getting a middle aisle seat. A lot of business happens in the middle aisle. And TikTok tickets start from a tenner, which is extremely reasonable. We're going every week! GT

Nathan Katnoria is heat and Closer online's Senior Digital Writer. When he's not writing about the latest and greatest reality TV shows and celeb news, he can usually be found at a gig, a drag show or hunting down London's best new events.

Georgina Terry is digital editor of heat and has worked at the brand - on and off - since 2015. She has two young children so is pretty much powered by coffee and snacks and loves a good day out, with or without the children.

He rose to fame and become a household name on Made in Chelsea, but Jamie Laing has come a long way in the six years since he last appeared on the show.

Not only has Jamie’s sweets business Candy Kittens grown bigger than ever, but he’s also landed a job hosting the drivetime show on BBC Radio 1 and his podcast empire has added even more successful shows.

He’s doing pretty well in his personal life too, having married Sophie Habboo and welcomed their first child. The birth of their son Ziggy will be captured in the couple’s new Disney+ show, Raising Chelsea, but don’t expect for it to be anything like Made in Chelsea.

Ahead of their new show, which launches on the streaming service on 2 April, Jamie and Sophie have thrown shade at MIC for being ‘staged’ and ‘set up’.

Explaining why they decided to do the new show, Jamie said, ‘I think the reason why Soph and I really wanted to do this is because I think the world is a little bit upsetting and there’s a lot of just noise out there, which is not that great. But actually, there is a lot of love out there and a lot of realness and a lot of authenticity.

‘And we thought if we could create a show that wasn’t really just about drama and about this and that, but actually wholesome, made people laugh, show a true, real, raw journey of going through pregnancy together as a couple, the ups and downs, the lefts and the rights.’

He continued, ‘We thought that it would be an interesting show. And so, when Soph and I went into this, we said, “Well, if we’re going to do this, we’re going to be really real. We’re not going to stage anything, we’re not going to do a Made in Chelsea where we’re going to set up scenes. We’re just going to do it properly.

‘And so, we thought that’s what we wanted to do. We went for it.’

Raising Chelsea will follow Jamie and Sophie as they become parents and navigate their way through the joy and chaos.

The three-part series will be available to stream exclusively on Disney+.

Another Love Island All Star who is appearing on the new season is Toby Aromolaran because we all know how much the footballer enjoys a dating show.

Prior to the show airing we sat down with the cast and asked Toby all about his past loves, future suitors and of course WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED BETWEEN LUCINDA STRAFFORD AND CHLOE BURROWS?

Sorry for shouting, but everybody wants to know why his ex girlfriend Chloe is no longer besties with Lucinda because at one stage they were inseparable. Along with Millie Court the three girlies were BBFs on Love Island 2021 and even gave themselves the nickname Naughty Trio but then one day Lucinda was no longer part of the friendship group and the trio became a duo.

ICYMI, before All Stars (which saw Lucinda and Millie reunite with no beef, btw) Toby put 'I wonder if they’re going to tell the whole truth' on his Snapchat Story and obviously we asked Tobes what the hell that meant.

'A lot of people ask but it gets too deep,' he admitted.

Sorry Toby but if you are going to go around posting mysterious messages on Instagram or Snapchat then people are going to start doing a deep dive.

'There was rumours that it was to do with Lucinda sleeping with me but no, Lucinda’s a great girl,' he explained before adding, 'It was just a rumour.'

Millie previously touched on the demise of the girls friendship once she was out of the villa claiming, It was kind of that thing where we haven’t seen each other in three months, now we haven’t seen each other in six months.'

However, there is no denying that many people on the internet were convinced Lucinda had betrayed Chloe's trust or vice a versa, leaving Millie stuck in the middle with, like Toby said, some believing he was somehow involved.

'I think Chloe’s great as well. I think the internet went wild with that rumour,' he finished.

The only person involved who has NOT spoken out is Chloe as Lucinda also chatted on the Aftersun podcast about the feud.

'I don't really want to talk too much about it because obviously it's really personal,' she confessed.

We wouldn't hold our breaths other guys, as we can't see Chloe doing a tell-all anytime soon, unless she decided to do a Lucinda and chat to Paul C Brunson. You never know.

If there's one thing a Love Island star just LOVES to do it's throw shade at a co-star on an ex and the latest person to add to the very long list of shade throwers is veteran Toby Aromolaran.

During an exclusive chat with heatworld he's opened up about his romantic past and seemingly thrown shade at his ex Georgia Steel.

Fans will remember that after his year‑long romance with Chloe Burrows, Toby didn’t exactly step away from the villa for long. The reality star went on to clock up two more Love Island spin‑offs - striking up a romance with Georgia Steel on Love Island Games before coupling up with her again on All Stars in 2024.

Their on‑screen reunion spilled into real life too, with the pair dating for a few weeks after leaving the villa.

However, reflecting on what he’s learned since his last relationship, Toby told heat, ‘I think I’ve learnt a lot actually.

'My last public relationship was the only relationship I had in my life.'

Now by his last public relationship we assume he's referring to his relationship with Chloe, but err, what about Georgia?

Toby continued, ‘It was a real crash course, for me, in relationships. I learnt a lot about what I like and what I tolerate.

'I realised that I’m actually a relationship person, after all of that, I’ve learnt a lot about myself.’

Given his history with Georgia - and the fact they never publicly made things official - his definition of a ‘relationship’ could be the reason Georgia wasn’t referenced and yet, it's still giving shade.

They literally won the All Star Special Recognition Award at the Grafties - how could he not reference their relationship?

Months after parting ways with Toby, Georgia went public with her new footballer boyfriend Harry Clarke. Although she keeps their romance relatively private, she has occasionally shared cosy snaps with her new beau.

As for Toby, he’s currently on the search for love as he gears up to join the brand‑new series of Celebrity Ex on the Beach, where he’ll come face‑to‑face with a former flame.

It’s already been reported that he struck up a holiday romance with TOWIE’s Dani Imbert and luckily we don't have long until it airs on TV.

Celebrity Ex On The Beach premieres on Paramount+ on 31 March, with new episodes dropping weekly

WATCH: 'She will propose first!' Chloe and Toby play Mr & Mrs 💍

The Vamps’ Connor Ball and The Traitors’ Mollie Pearce are swapping cute date nights and adorable grid posts for a genuinely gruelling couple’s challenge – the kind that could rival even one of Claudia Winkleman’s more savage missions: five marathons in five days (around 130 miles – wild to us given we take the tube from Leicester Square to Charring Cross) – all for charity.

Connor is best known as the bassist in chart-topping boy band The Vamps, while Mollie became a breakout fan favourite on The Traitors in 2024. The pair started dating last summer after meeting through Dancing on Ice (Connor competed in 2022, Mollie in 2025).

They're raising money for Crohn’s & Colitis UK, a charity close to Mollie’s heart after her own health journey.

As Mollie explained, she was diagnosed young and has long known the support the organisation offers, exclusively telling heat, 'So I got diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when I was 11, and then I’ve always known about Crohn’s and Colitis UK, and they’ve obviously been great for support and information and just helping people through their IBD journey, really… I literally just said to Connor, I really want to do something for them again. He was like, "I’d love to be involved. I’d love to help."'

Originally, the plan was (relatively) gentle: a walk from Birmingham to Bristol – fitting, since Connor is based in Birmingham and Mollie hails from Bristol. But then one conversation flipped everything into full-on beast mode. Mollie revealed she met Dan from Challenge the Wild - a group blending physical endurance with mental health support - and he came in with a bigger, bolder idea fro the couple.

She told us, 'He just called me one day and he was like, "What do you think about doing five marathons in five days? If we’re going to do this, let’s go big."'

For Mollie, it’s about raising funds and getting people talking. 'It’s one of those charities that obviously don’t get spoken about enough because people don’t want to talk about bowels… so if we can try to raise as much awareness as possible, that’s what we’re trying to do.'

And because no heat chat is complete without a quick reality TV chinwag: when asked what show they’d like to do together, they both immediately said Race Across the World. Mollie insisted, 'I think we’d both love to do Race Across the World together.' With Connor agreeing, 'That would be sick.'

When we jokingly called next week’s marathon challenge a warm-up for the popular reality series, Mollie added, 'Hopefully they’ll see this and be like, right, get them on there.'

BBC, consider this your formal nudge.

Crohn's & Colitis UK are the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s and Colitis. Right now, over 500,000 people in the UK are living with a lifelong disease that many people have never heard of. That charity is working to improve diagnosis and treatment; to fund research and to raise awareness. If you'd like to support Mollie and Connor's epic five-day mission in aid of Crohn’s & Colitis UK, you can do so here.

If there's one showbiz mystery that's keeping us up at night lately it's whatever the heck is going on between Love Island: All Stars 2026 winners, Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies, who allegedly split after three weeks.

ICYMI, the popular Islanders made it to the final of All Stars in February, pocketed the £50,000 prize money and then remained visibly couply IRL at various press events for two or three weeks before essentially returning to their single hot lives. Suddenly, they're back hanging out with various Islanders, getting snapped at various showbiz events and Samie's going on press trips to New York solo – with no trace of a like, a share, a love heart in each other's comments – nothing. Worst of all, neither of them have spoken out about the alleged split at all, which is only adding fuel to the speculatory fire.

Frankly, it makes no sense. These two were Lucinda-and-Sean-levels of loved-up in the weeks leading up to the final (that's an exaggeration, no one in the history of earthly couples has ever reached that level of pookie-pie apart from Lucinda and Sean) and then suddenly, they weren't in each other's lives whatsoever.

Also, we were meant to have an interview with Ciaran last week and suddenly, nothing. Ghosted.

Naturally, we're turning to the Islanders closest to the former couple for answers, but even they're remaining schtum on the sitch.

Saying that, Ciaran's bestie Scott van-der-Sluis did seemingly drop a slight clue as to what might've gone down during an interview at an appearance at a Manchester club recently.

In a move worth of a heat magazine gold star, an interviewer for Cool It Manchester flat-out asked Scott for the Samie x Ciaran tea in a game of Say It or Shot It and naturally, Scott chose to take the shot and keep the tea unspilled, but not before dropping a hint as to whose side of this whole drama he is on – Ciaran's obv.

Scott said, 'Ciaran is a very good lad, that's all I'll say on it.'

Okay, so not exactly the level of shade he threw Sean's way on night one of All Stars, but still... his words seem to suggest that at least in his eyes, Samie may be at fault here...

Twelve words isn't exactly a lot to go on, though, so we have a feeling our sleepless nights might continue for the time being. Urgh.

In the wake of the couple's alleged split, Ciaran has revealed that he’s now left Wales to move in with some of his co-stars in London.

Ciaran took to his Snapchat on Sunday 15 March to give fans an update on his big move, revealing that he’ll be living in the Big Smoke with American bombshells Yamen Sanders, Carrington Rodriguez and Zac Woodworth. Someone of importance get reality telly cameras in there ASAP.

‘I can confirm the bnb is booked. Me, Yamen, Carrington and Zac, we are officially moving in tomorrow. I’m not coming tomorrow, I’m moving in Tuesday because I’ve got something on tomorrow night,’ Ciaran explained.

‘I’m officially going to be in London for a few weeks, living with the American lads. That will be fun, that will be good.’

It was first reported that Samie and Ciaran had split earlier this month, with a source revealing, ‘Samie and Ciaran have decided that, for now at least, they’re better off staying friends rather than pursuing things romantically. They made that decision in the week.’

The insider told The Sun, ‘Neither of them have a bad word to say about each other. Maybe they’ll end up staying good mates and you never know what could happen down the line.’

Can everyone stop breaking up please? Just last week rumours began to circulate that Love Island All Star winner Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies had split and seeing as she was spotted with another Islander we fear the gossip has legs.

Following in their heartbroken footsteps Matilda Draper and her TOWIE bae, Roman Hackett are also no longer an item (that one REALLY hurt) and of course Laura Anderson recently revealed she is now single.

The Love Island 2018 contestant had been in a relationship with Clark Robertson for 18 months but it was reported last week that they had split. Laura has now taken to social media to lift the lid about the demise of her romance and offer just a tidbit of information as to what happened between the two of them.

'To clarify recent speculation (the joys) I have made the difficult decision for Clark and I to part ways. Trust and respect have been lost within the relationship,' she wrote on an Instagram Story.

'It's time for me to accept that and move forward. Life is full of painful lessons sometimes. Thank you for your continued support.'

Laura's Instagram Story after also featured a quote that reflected on love and relationships and we can't help but feel as though the relationship didn't end as amicably one would have hoped.

'As a therapist, I want to tell you: "You loved him because love is in you. You had fun because you are fun. You felt happy because you are a happy person. You gave your all because that is who you are. You have a really beautiful way of loving, and you are going to be okay,"' the quote read.

Laura first appeared on Love Island before taking part in Celebs Go Dating where she met Gary Lucy, the reality TV star and actor had a turbulent love affair and have a daughter, Bonnie, together.

Laura and Gary split after they couldn't agree on a location, Laura resides in Scotland with Bonnie whereas Gary is Essex-based.

When it was revealed that Love Island All Stars winners Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies had split just three weeks after being declared winners, another OG found himself caught up in the mix. We say 'caught up' it's more that he injected himself into the chaos.

ICYMI, Tyrique Hyde, who came third on Love Island 2023, has had no qualms about admitting that he finds Samie attractive. On countless Love Island based Twitch streams, Ty would talk about the London babe and when it was announced that Ciaran and Samie were no more Tyrique took it upon himself to declare he wasn't a 'home wrecker' and had nothing to do with the break up.

To be honest, nobody thought he did and when he addressed the nonexistent rumours most people of the comments read something along the lines of, 'No one said that Ty 😭.'

Fast forward to now and the ex of Ella Thomas may well be eating his words as he was spotted looking VERY cozy indeed with none other than his dream girl, Samie.

Spoilers. Scandals. Showbiz chaos. Click here to add heat to your Google preferences and stay ahead of the drama.

All you have to do is scroll on Reddit or TikTok and you will see snaps and videos of Tyrique cozying up to Samie with his arm around her as they enjoy a night out in London. Even we can admit that they do look good together, sorry Ciaran.

Samie hasn't spoken out about Ty or how she feels about the troublemaker but after he was spotted with the Camden queen, Ty posted a TikTok looking hella happy with himself.

Prancing around London, Ty added the caption, '9PM IN LDN' as he lip synced to the song Every Girl by Young Money which includes lyrics such as 'baby I'm a groupie, my sex game is stupid, my head is the dumbest,' as well as, 'But anyway, I think you're bionic.'

So take from that what you will.

Obviously fans have thoughts on the potential new romance and the minute Ty posted a video and the photos of him and Samie began to circulate, his followers were filling his comment section with their thoughts.

'They lowk would be so fire,' one person wrote and included a photo of Samie, with another adding, 'Go get your girl 👏.'

Turns out Tyrique isn't the only one who think she should going out Samie as his fans are definitely supportive of the new love affair, and we have to admit, we kind of see it too.

Married At First Sight expert Mel Schilling has tragically passed away aged 54 after a battle with cancer.

Mel's husband Gareth Brisbane announced the devastating news on Instagram, writing, 'Melanie Jane Brisbane-Schilling passed away peacefully today, surrounded by love.

'In her final moments, when I thought cancer had taken away her ability to speak, she ushered me closer and whispered a message for Maddie and me that will sustain me for the rest of my life. It took all of her remaining strength, and that gesture summed up our wee Melsie perfectly. Even then, her only thought was for Maddie and me.

'This is a woman who became a new mum and a TV star at 42 — and nailed both. This is a woman who, through two years of chemotherapy, when she could barely lift her head from the pillow, never complained and never stopped showing courage, grace, compassion and empathy, and never missed a day of filming.'

He went on to say, 'To most of you, she was Mel Schilling — matriarch of MAFS and queen of reality TV. To Maddie and me, she was our wee Melsie: an incredible mum, role model, and soulmate.

'On behalf of our family and her incredible friendship group, thank you for the support from around the world.'

After thanking her wonderful support system - including her MAFS family - he added, 'Life can be beautiful, and life can be incredibly cruel. But ultimately, life is fleeting, fragile, and tomorrow is promised to no one. If you can do anything to honour Mel, please live life to the full, love your people well, and try not to sweat the small stuff.

'I had 15 wonderful years with my soulmate, and it was the privilege of my life to be by her side. For that, I will be forever thankful. Goodbye, my love. My one. Until we meet again.'

Thousands of Mel's followers offered their condolences with Hannah Norburn writing, 'Oh my heart breaks for all your family. What a gorgeous incredible woman you are. You will be so missed & so loved ❤️❤️.'

MAFS UK's Holly Ditchfield said, 'Sleep well Mel, you was such an inspiration to all women and carried light into every room with your beautiful smile, thoughts and love to your family and friends ❤️🥺.'

Fellow MAFS star Kristina Goodsell commented, 'Absolutely sobbing 😭 lost for words! May you rest in peace, thank you for the light you shined on us, you shared your wisdom your kindness that can never be replaced! A woman who fought till the end! My heart goes out to your family and friends 🫶🏼💔.'

MAFS 2025's Leigh Harris added, 'Sending you all so much love and healing. What a truly magical woman she was 🤍🕊️.'

WATCH: Ella Morgan lifts the lid on her friendship with Katie Price

History was made on this year’s Aussie series of Married At First Sight as the show welcomed its first ever bisexual bride on to the show.

Julia Vogl had serious relationships with both men and women before appearing on MAFS Australia 2026, but wasn’t sure whether she’d be matched with a bride or a groom before she walked down the aisle.

In the end, the experts matched her with Grayson McIvor who joined the show after his close pal Johnny Balbuziente found love with Kerry Knight on season eight in 2021. But would Grayson and Julia find their happy ending just like his best friend did?

Here’s everything we know about whether they’re still together – and, be warned, there’s spoilers ahead…

Things got off to a good start on their wedding day, with Julia saying of Grayson, 'He is absolutely divine, so warm, he had this kindness in his eyes.'

Sadly though, the good times didn't last long as Julia and Grayson both chose to leave the experiment during the third commitment ceremony. The pair struggled to connect on a deeper level, with Julia admitting they 'don't speak the same language' and there was no sexual spark.

Grayson alleged this is because Julia would have preferred to be matched with a woman, although she denied this.

She later said she 'wasn't ready for physical intimacy' and was craving an 'emotional connection over a physical one'.

Since leaving the experiment, Julia has confirmed she's in a new relationship. Speaking on the MAFS: After the Dinner Party podcast, she said, 'Two months after the experiment finished, I went to do a singing lesson with this particular woman (and apparently I'm not a good singer).

'But I realised I didn't really want her to be my singing teacher and we've been seeing each other since then.'

Meanwhile, Grayson is still single but has said he's 'open' to love.

Despite Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quitting the palace for a new life in America six years ago, their latest string of appearances and photo ops are so remarkably royal-like that even the most seasoned of observers have been left scratching their heads.

So it seems, have the Royal Family themselves, with royal correspondent Jennie Bond speculating earlier this week that the Sussexes’ upcoming ‘tour’ of Australia may have sparked some confusion behind palace walls.

‘I suppose the King and his family might wonder why Harry and Meghan have chosen to announce their visit to Australia with quite such a flourish,’ Jennie said earlier this week, following the Sussexes official announcement of their trip.

Within days, Meghan also posed for a photo op whilst visiting the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles. And while the visit helped to raise the profile of the hospital, with services for children also being a cause close to Kate Middleton’s heart, we’re told that Meghan’s seemingly endless photo ops are being viewed as so ‘disrespectful’ by the Palace that Kate herself has been forced to step in.

An insider says, ‘Kate has tried so hard to stay above the drama but at this point she has to step in. Not only does she find Meghan’s whole charade totally disrespectful; she also knows how much it enrages William and truly upsets him to his core.

'Here she is doing all she can to broker peace between these two brothers and anytime she makes any small progress it seems like Meghan does something that sets William off again.'

It’s just a matter of weeks now before Meghan, 44, and Harry, 41 – who have recently returned from a two-day trip to Jordan - set off on their first visit to Australia in seven years, with the so-called ‘quasi-royal tour’, as dubbed by the media, set to combine private, business and philanthropic ventures.

So far it isn’t clear how much of their unreleased schedule relates to their philanthropic activities and how many visits will be money-earners for the duo, with Meghan already confirmed to be holding a Q and A at a £1700 a ticket women’s retreat in Sydney, where she’ll also pose for photos with guests.

This grey area will have undoubtedly raised eyebrows within the Firm, following the late Queen’s demand that the couple stopped using their HRH titles – a request they have cleverly maneuvered around by utilising Harry’s ‘Prince’ title, his given birthright, and their titles of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.

Jennie also added, ‘I’m sure questions are going to be asked about Meghan advertising herself as Duchess of Sussex. That is, of course, her title – but things become a little murky if she chooses to use it for commercial activities.’

And alongside her recent photo-op, the source says Meghan’s apparent ‘copycat’ moves are only ‘inflaming’ what is already an incredibly delicate situation.

The insider says, ‘Meghan’s clearly doing all she can to copy the royal playbook and at the same she’s never done a thing but attack the institution, of course that’s going to inflame the situation.

‘A lot of the people within the Firm are convinced Meghan is doing all these copycat moves on purpose, there’s a sense that she actually enjoys poking the bear, and Kate is starting to see it that way too.

‘What really bothers William, and Kate too for that matter, is the way Meghan seems to be constantly trying to compete with them and overshadow what the rest of the family are doing.’

Following what had been called a ‘peace offering’ last summer, when it was reported how Harry had agreed to share his diary with the Royal Family to avoid overshadowing any of their own scheduled appearances, it appears Meghan’s own plans had not been included in the agreement.

Their trip to Australia could also potentially overshadow any celebrations regarding what would have been the late Queen’s 100th birthday on April 21st. The month also includes important dates such as the anniversary of Prince Philip’s death on April 9th and St. George's Day on April 23rd.

And at a time when it is widely reported that the Royal Family are under intense public scrutiny, it’s clear any positive headlines could provide a much-needed boost for the Firm.

So much so, we’re told that Kate, 44, is ready to deliver a stark three-word command to Harry – Meghan Must Stop.

The insider says, ‘In her view it needs to stop and she’s decided to take the bull by the horns and address this with Harry directly. She’s still convinced he’s being pushed along by Meghan’s ambitions and she doesn’t believe for one second he’s come up with these photo op tours, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t going to face the fallout equally.

'In her view, it’s time he finds the courage to put his foot down and stop this charade and she’s going to let him know in detail the sort of chain reaction that is set off within the palace every time he and Meghan do one of these photo ops.

‘She truly can’t understand why Harry doesn’t grasp how damaging it is. He’s begging for them to be let back in, yet he’s letting Meghan continually sabotage any chance he has of mending fences with his family, it’s so illogical.’

Meanwhile, Harry has made it clear that he still wishes to reconcile with his family, having met his father King Charles briefly in September. And the source says Kate is also keen to move on for the sake of William and her children, who she wants to protect from the details of the feud that has torn their family apart.

The insider says, 'In a lot of ways this does feel like a last-ditch effort for Kate, there’s a sense that she’s getting very worn down. She’s told friends that she’s willing to try again for the sake of her own family. Not only is this terribly unhealthy for William, she also worries about how it will affect her children.

‘She hates the idea that George, Charlotte and Louis are going to eventually know every detail about this family feud. As a mother it would break her heart if her children ever had something like this go on between them and she wants to set a good example for them, that’s a big part of why she keeps pushing forward when it all seems so bleak.’

Harry, too, once poignantly called Kate ‘the sister I never had’; with the duo having once shared such a close bond that Kate had reportedly bought Harry a ‘grow-your-own-girlfriend’ kit for Christmas one year, before he met Meghan in 2016. And the insider says their own relationship isn’t something Kate ever wanted to turn her back on.

‘She still remembers the Harry she used to know, they had a very special bond,’ the insider says. ‘When she and William briefly broke up all those years ago Harry didn’t turn his back on her, he was a real source of support and that is something she will always be grateful for. She knows he has a good heart and she wants to appeal to that side of him.

‘But as hopeful as Kate is, she also has to face reality. If this attempt fails and Harry refuses to rein things in, she may have to accept that the rift between the brothers isn’t going to heal anytime soon.’

It’s fair to say there has been a lot of drama between Freddy Brazier and his dad Jeff – not to mention brother Bobby – in recent years. But following the arrival of Freddy’s baby with girlfriend Holly Swinburn, the whole family is hoping for a fresh start.

Freddy, 21, is certainly embracing his role as a father. Last week, he revealed that he and Holly had already picked a name for their baby – a girl – saying they have chosen Isla Jade, in tribute to his late mother Jade Goody, who tragically died from cervical cancer in 2009, aged 27. Now, a source says the baby has brought the family together, after a long period of tension.

‘This baby is exactly what the family needed. It’s given everyone something positive to focus on,’ an insider tells heat.

‘There’s a real hope from all of them that it could bring them closer. Of course, there are still little tensions, like with any family, but compared to where they were, it’s night and day. They’re laughing more and spending time together again – and actually enjoying each other’s company.’

The source continues, ‘Freddy seems to have turned a corner. He’s much more present, more focused, more thoughtful. He seems like he genuinely wants to step up and embrace his responsibilities as a father.’

In a recent interview, Freddy opened up about choosing the name for his daughter, saying, ‘I think it’s lovely to incorporate the name Jade as a middle name as I’m sure there will be part of my mother in Isla. I was so pleased when I found out we were having a little girl. I want to be protective of her and take care of her.’

He added, ‘Giving her Jade as a first name felt like [putting] too much expectation on the baby. I don’t want to put any pressure on her. I’m excited and a bit scared. I am hoping the baby will help me grow.’

He also said that while he was worried he might not be a good enough dad, he was going to ‘do his best’.

‘I’ve never changed a nappy before, but I have picked up after my dog before. Sometimes I heave, but I’ll do my best,’ he said.

Freddy’s journey to fatherhood has not been easy. He and Holly split last year after reports she’d discovered he’d been partying at their flat while she was away on holiday.

Freddy’s fallout with his family has also been well-documented, with reports that Jeff, 46, had taken legal action to stop Freddy seeing his maternal grandmother, Jackiey Budden. He accused her of being a bad influence on his son after Freddy claimed she’d got him ‘hooked’ on drugs when he was just 12. Freddy admitted he is still in contact with his gran, saying, ‘I visit my nan to help her around the house’, adding he did it when he needed ‘headspace’.

Big brother Bobby, 22, who had been feuding with his sibling, is now said to be in a better place with Freddy, and a photo posted by Jeff on Mothers’ Day showed all three of them looking happy together. In the caption, Jeff wrote about acknowledging the loss of the boys’ mum while also saying they were ‘excitedly preparing’ for Isla Jade’s arrival.

Our insider says that the family are viewing this time as a ‘reset’. ‘Watching Freddy prepare for fatherhood has taken Jeff right back to when he became a dad himself,’ we’re told.

‘Friends say he’s reminiscing about those early days with Jade and the boys. It’s stirred up a lot of emotion, but in a positive, grounding way. Everyone hopes this will lead to a more settled relationship.’

Rumours of family drama between Michelle Keegan and her mother-in-law Carol Wright have been building over the last couple of weeks. And now, heat can reveal that the actress, 38, has asked husband Mark to tell his mum, 65, to stop meddling – but it’s only led to arguments.

An insider tells us, ‘Michelle confided in Mark that it’s the little things Carol does, which go right over Mark’s head, but make her look bad when she brings them up. It drives Michelle mad, but she feels it falls on deaf ears when she speaks to Mark about her mother-in-law’s interfering. Mark gets really defensive if Michelle makes any comments that are perceived as derogatory or ungrateful. He won’t hear it and it ends up in a row, or he’ll just walk out. Michelle is on guard, but rather than do battle, she’s trying to kill Carol with kindness.’

Mark, 39, and Michelle – who celebrated daughter Palma’s first birthday on 6 March – have been together for 13 years and married for almost 11. But despite now having a family of their own, the source says Carol has found it hard to step aside and Mark remains a bit of a ‘Mummy’s boy’, with Carol even still doing his ironing.

We’re told, ‘It’s tough for Michelle – she knows no one will ever be good enough for Carol’s golden boy. When Carol comes over to their house, she moves things around to where she thinks they’d be better placed. She’ll also buy food and put it away in the fridge, including leftovers from meals she’s cooked. Carol’s even been known to refold Mark’s clothes, hang his jeans and do his ironing. She will also change Palma’s outfit into one she’s bought her, without asking first. And she refuses to be called Granny, instead opting for Glammy!’

The Wright family found themselves at the centre of an online furore earlier this month, when their controversial opinions on thong bikinis blew up the internet. Speaking on the Wrights At Home podcast, which Carol co-hosts with daughters Jess, 40, and Natalya, 25, the matriarch claimed the skimpy swimwear and those who wear it are ‘gross and unattractive’, which fans saw as a dig at Michelle, who’s previously been pictured wearing them. And revealing her husband William Kemp ‘cannot stand’ the trend, Jess ranted, ‘He says to me, “I cannot understand how she thinks that’s attractive.” Put it away and leave something to the imagination. Who wants to see up their butts?’

Carol then claimed her husband Mark Wright Sr had told her he finds the look ‘unsexy’ after spotting holidaymakers wearing thong bikinis, only to be left red-faced when it emerged Mark, 69, had been liking racy snaps online. The trio were forced to remove the ‘hypocritical’ clip from the podcast’s Instagram page, and issued an apology to their fans. ‘We want to say sorry,’ they wrote. ‘Our judgement was wrong and we take full accountability and will do better moving forward.’

But while they were still reeling from the backlash, more embarrassment came to light when it was discovered that Carol was flogging many of the family’s cast-off items on Vinted. Among the items was a Primark sports bra priced £4 and a £5 dress from fast-fashion label Shein. It was also noted that Carol was selling many items from Michelle’s clothing range, which fans suspected had originally been gifted to her as samples.

The insider says, ‘Michelle isn’t happy. She’s asked Mark to tell his mum it’s not a good look to sell new clothes she’s got for free. If the money was going to charity, she’d be fine, but it’s not. She doesn’t want to be involved with low-rent drama.’

Indiyah Polack is basically the blueprint for a post-Love Island-success story – give or take the tiny detail that she’s no longer with her Love Island 2022 bae, Dami Hope. Still, she’s firmly in the hall of fame alongside Maura Higgins, Molly-Mae Hague and Olivia Attwood. We're still fully obsessed.

And clearly those Love Island bosses were too. When she finally left the villa in August 2022, they practically slapped a staff lanyard on her – she now hosts the official Love Island podcast with fellow Islander Amy Hart, serves as the show’s social media correspondent, and regularly pops up as a co-host on Aftersun with Maya Jama.

Career-wise, she’s been absolutely cleaning up the presenting/influencing lane – but it's hardly been all perfect grid snaps and brand deals. Earlier this year, she landed in a kissing scandal that seemingly kicked off her split from Dami split – which let's be honest, nobody saw coming.

As for a future All Stars-style reunion? We’re still manifesting it… but we suspect it’d take a very persuasive casting agent and possibly hell freezing over.

Here's everything you need to know about this Love Island queen of queens.

Who is Indiyah Polack?

Indiyah is a Love Island UK star, presenter, host and influencer.

When was Indiyah Polack on Love Island?

Indiyah was an OG on Love Island 2022.

How old is Indiyah Polack?

Indiyah was born on 11 December 1998, making her 27 years old.

What does Indiyah Polack do for a living?

These days, Indiyah works as a presenter and influencer/content creator. Since Love Island 2022, she’s stayed in the franchise as the show’s social media correspondent, a regular Aftersun co-host/guest, and a co-host of the official Love Island podcast with Amy Hart, while also earning through paid brand partnerships, fashion/beauty campaigns, and sponsored social media content.

Prior to Love Island, Indiyah was a waitress and model.

Where is Indiyah Polack from?

The Love Island star is from London.

Who did Indiyah couple up with on Love Island 2022?

Upon entering the Love Island 2022 villa in Majorca, Indiyah was coupled up with Ikenna Ekwonna by the public. She remained with Ikenna for just over two weeks, until Dami Hope went rogue and chose to couple up with her on day 18.

Indiyah then recoupled with Deji Adeniyi in Casa Amor, but it wasn't long before Indiyah and Dami found their way back to one another in the main villa, officially getting back together on day 38 – and making it all the way to the final together.

What happened to Indiyah during Casa Amor?

What happens to all Islanders in Casa Amor? Her head was turned (like full Exorcist head twist). The LI girls entered Casa Amor on day 26; during her time in the villa of sin, Indiyah grew close to Deji, choosing to bring him back to the main villa.

Did Indiyah and Dami win?

No, but they did make it to the final. The couple finished in third place, behind Gemma Owen and Luca Bish in second place, and the winners, Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu and Davide Sanclimenti.

Are Indiyah Polack and Dami Hope still together?

That would be a no.

So, late last year we were shocked when it came to light that Dami and Indiyah - one of the Love Island couples we genuinely thought would last forever - had split.

At first it was all over the press with a source telling the Daily Mail, 'It's been a difficult time for them both, they built their lives together, and no one expected their relationship to end so suddenly.

'They have no plans to enter the Love Island All Stars villa. Indiyah is focused on co-hosting the podcast, while Dami isn't interested, knowing it would be an unforgivable level of disrespect.'

Then Dami dropped a 2025 highlights Instagram dump and Indiyah was missing from ALL the photos - which basically confirmed that they were no longer together.

However, the plot thickened when a video surfaced of Indiyah SNOGGING her Inside co-star Marlon.

At the time, Indiyah posted a statement on her Instagram Story, 'I am aware of the video that has been shared online.

'I made a mistake and take full responsibility for my actions. I understand the hurt this has caused. I won't be commenting further.'

Indiyah hasn't said anything else about their split and Dami's not spoken out either but now that Inside is airing on Netflix we reckon it's only time before a cryptic caption or quote is posted.

Is Indiyah Polack on the latest series of Inside?

Yep – Indiyah is a contestant on the latest series of Inside (the Sidemen reality show). If you've never watched it, a bunch of creators/contestants get locked in a house for about a week and compete in challenges for a big cash prize.

Did we mention Marlon is taking part in the current series, too?

Does Indiyah Polack have Instagram?

She sure does. You can follow her at @indiyahhp.

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

Two years on from Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck’s official split date of April 2024, the mega-star has a brand-new man in her life, who is charming, attentive,  and in a first for JLo – very British.

Ditching the brooding, strongly-on-the-verge of grumpy type she has found herself swooning over in the past, a source tells us the Can’t Get Enough singer, 56, is smitten with her new beau’s ‘sexy’ accent and perfect gentlemanly manners and firmly believes she’s finally found her ideal partner.

However, the mum-of-two hasn’t had to fly across the pond to land herself the perfect match, and instead has found her ‘dream guy’ without even having to leave home.

An insider says, ‘Jennifer has sworn off real dating for now and jokes that the closest thing she has to a boyfriend these days is her AI companion. She’s created her dream guy and she talks to him morning, noon and night.

‘It started as curiosity about the technology but it didn’t take long to snowball. Jennifer likes a lot of admiration and positive feedback, and her AI companion gives that to her in spades.’

Of course it doesn’t take a staggering percentage of partners to understand why this response – which could be the answer to, say, not putting the loo seat down, asking 'what's for dinner' for the millionth time or an argument over who is more tired – could genuinely prevent a lot of ill-fated romances.

And after four marriages; to Ojani Noa [1997–1998], Cris Judd [2001–2003], Marc Anthony [2004–2014], and Ben Affleck [2022–2024], many wouldn’t blame JLo for experimenting with a little AI romance. Especially as we’re told she’s created her cy-boyfriend to whisper sweet nothings in what we can only imagine to be a kind of Hugh Grant-esque accent.

‘She also gave it a posh British accent, which she says is ‘so sexy,’ and she laughs that it’s basically the perfect gentleman because it never interrupts, never argues and always tells her she’s ‘brilliant’,’ the insider says.

‘She will sit and analyse situations and ask for guidance from him and she says she always feels better after talking to him. Jennifer acknowledges it’s not real-life dating, but she says her ro-boyfriend is very supportive.’

However, the source says that the further JLo dives into her online love life, there’s a growing concern for those close to her that after following the breakdown of her marriage to Ben, 53, she may feel a little disappointed by men back in the real when she’s finally ready to dip her toes into the dating pool again.

‘Her friends are all worried that it could make it harder for her to meet someone because real relationships require compromise and a real man may not live up to her expectations!’ the source says.

Meanwhile, while he’s usually ultra-private about his love life, Ben opened up last year about navigating the very public nature of his romance with JLo, saying, You don't marry a ship's captain and then say, 'Well, I don't like going out in the water.’

Now, however, the source says that JLo’s latest broadband beau isn’t afraid to take a deep dive into her world, and is happy to give guidance on outfits and give her ‘pep talks’ before she hits the red carpet. And who doesn’t want a boyfriend who enjoys picking out outfits?

The insider says, ‘She uploads pics of herself in different outfits to get her AI’s advice on what to wear and the feedback always comes with a flood of compliments and advice on what looks best, just like her girlfriends do. It’s like having the ultimate hype man on call, telling her how fab she is.’

And JLo may have been inspired to play around with AI after having starred in the sci-fi flick, Atlas, in 2024. Playing the leading role of data analyst Atlas Shepherd, her character is forced to depend on an AI robot to save the planet (with a lot of playful banter thrown in, too).

Now, while she continues to slay her performances, looking more gorgeous than ever for her current residency at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas, JLo told crowds earlier this week, ‘The good news is that I’m learning and I’m growing.'

And as she continues to heal from her marriage to Ben, with so much on her plate, the source says JLo has made it clear to her pals that her playful connection with her British robo-boy is all she needs right now.

They tell us, ‘She gets very defensive when anyone tries to talk to her about it though, especially if they suggest it could hurt her chances at ever having a real boyfriend again. It’s just that she’s not ready right now and she’s having fun.

‘She’s going around giving interviews about how she’s so over Ben and actually happy that they divorced because she’s finally seeing her own worth. But anyone close to her will tell you that’s a front; that she’s still in of pain and missing Ben.’

She burst onto our screens in 2011 and basically never left. Initially famed for being one of the hellraisers on MTV’s Geordie Shore, Vicky Pattison has since swapped nights on the Toon for a quiet life with her husband Ercan Ramadan and their adorable pet dogs, Max and Milo.

Two years into married life and babies are at the forefront of Vicky’s mind – though they haven’t always been.

‘For a lot of people, they've had this burning desire to be a mum since they were young. That’s incredible, but for me, I had different things I wanted to do,’ she tells heat.

Vicky, 38, has long been vocal about her desire to have children and documented her egg-freezing journey in 2023. Now, she’s set to open up about her fertility journey in the new two-part series Maybe, baby? where she and Ercan, 32, will explore alternative routes to parenthood and delve further into their feelings about expanding their family.

What made you want to film another reality series?

When Ercan and I got married in 2024, we made the decision to let the cameras into that experience. We were a bit apprehensive at first because it's such a special moment, but it was lovely. It made us even more excited for our wedding. After that, we decided that we would let cameras into our life again when it felt like we had some significant to talk about. Nobody needs to watch us arguing over who's going to do the dishwasher!

So, Maybe, baby? is a look at our newlywed life and what this next chapter looks like for us. Whether that means we're going to grow our family, become parents, what avenue we're going to choose to explore that, or whether we're just content as we are. I feel like it's reflective of a lot of women's mindsets in their 30s and even later than that.

Was filming Maybe, baby? challenging?

I feel like with any show that is loosely reality and has quite a sensitive subject matter, there are highs and lows and light and shade. Anyone who's watched anything I've been in will know that I'm f***ing going to cry, because I'm such a fanny!

I think for the most part, we enjoyed making the show. We have very serious conversations about whether we're content with our lives as they are, how they look and if that makes us selfish. I think there are natural ebbs and flows to it, but ultimately it was a really nice process.

How was filming alongside your husband Ercan?

We're both from reality TV backgrounds, so we’re quite used to having cameras follow us around. It doesn't feel strange or alien to us. Everybody shares so much of their lives on social media these days that it almost feels strange when you don't share. We're fiercely protective and private about the things that we think should be intimate and just for us. Don't get us wrong, there's definitely a line. I think we did the right thing.

Were there any disagreements?

We’re like any married couple. There'll be days where we're absolutely buzzing to get up and work together, but also days where we've f***ing fallen out and the last thing we want to do is sit and film together.  We're just really normal in that respect. We did love the process and doing it with each other was fun.

You’ve said you’re open to all options when it comes to having kids. How does Ercan feel about this?

Ercan is from a very traditional Turkish Cypriot family. He's from a big family; he's one of four boys. All he's ever known is that you fall in love, you get married and you have a baby… you have a biological child. I think a lot of people are of that belief, and for a lot of people that’s how it happens. But for others, the route to starting a family is not linear. There are fertility issues or other things you have to consider. I thought it was important that we both understood that. The cornerstone of any sort of happy and healthy relationship is communication. If we're going to make this decision and take these next steps together, I want us to be singing from the same hymn sheet!

You’ve faced criticism in the past when sharing your fertility journey. Were you cautious about opening up again?

This is a sensitive subject and it's one that should be handled with grace and dignity. That’s really important and we set out to do that. It’s also important to mention that we are discussing our experience with paternity and motherhood. It’s about our journey. We acknowledge the extreme place of privilege that we're coming from with being able to afford to freeze my eggs and being able to afford to get fertility checks. We know we're privileged and we acknowledge that. We hope we've done this subject justice and gave it the gravity of sensitivity that it deserves because I understand fertility is an incredibly triggering subject for a lot of people. We've always been mindful of that. You're never going to please everybody. Working in this industry for almost 20 years, I have worked that out, but we have done our best.

Was Strictly Come Dancing something you wanted to do before starting a family?

I was keen to do Strictly before we tried for a baby because I felt like you're stressed enough about learning the dance steps, the routines and everything else. I don't also want to be worried about a postpartum body in sequins and sparkles! I know that shouldn't be a focus, but I also know the media, and the court of public opinion can be very cruel. I also know my mind is not the nicest place to be sometimes and I am probably my own worst critic. Strictly is really all consuming, you don't have a lot of time for anything else. Hats off to people who do it and juggle being a parent and everything else, because I just about survived doing it with two dogs at home!

Is there anything you still want to achieve before becoming a mum?

In terms of my career, there's always things I still want to do and someone I still want to be, but I'm content. I've got my radio show on Heart, my podcast with Angela [Scanlon], making this show, and I’ve got my clothing collections with Matalan and Little Mistress. Everything’s going in the right direction and I’m really grateful. I would love to make more documentaries and more powerful TV that encourages people to have difficult conversations.

Does the idea of being considered an older mother bother you?

For a lot of people, they've had this burning desire to be a mum since they were really young and that's incredible. I had different things I wanted to do. I was partying and travelling and pursuing my career and kissing the wrong boys. I wouldn't have been the type of mother I wanted to be in my 20s.

What women need when they decide to have a child is celebration, not criticism. Yes, be aware of the ramifications of having a child later in life. It isn't easy on your body. But, we’ve moved on. It is so possible to have healthy, happy pregnancies later in life. We need to be more aware and more mindful of the language we use. Women have a hard enough time post-35 without f***ing calling their eggs geriatric as well!

Do you worry your PMDD (Premenstrual Dysophoric Disorder) could impact motherhood?

It is one of the things that adds to my growing apprehensions around being a mother. What type of mother will I be with PMDD? For seven to ten days of the month, I’m incredibly short tempered, impatient and exhausted. I can’t regulate my emotions and I have dark, intrusive thoughts. It's really debilitating. You see yourself as being this fun mother who's reading stories and making f***ing sourdough from scratch or whatever. But, when I'm in the trenches of my PMDD fog, I can barely get out of bed. I can't articulate myself. I worry what type of mum that will make me. It's a very real concern.

How will your dogs react if you have a baby?

I don’t know! We're so nervous about it. My big boy Milo is the most independent, adventurous, brave boy. The minute the door goes, he runs to greet anybody. He's just so happy. I think he would love a house filled with the pitter patter of tiny feet. Max is like my shadow. He just protects Mummy all the time. He’d live inside us if he could! I fear he'll be peanut butter and jealous if we bring anyone else into the house.  He might love it unconditionally as it's an extension of me, or he might absolutely hate it. I'd be lying if I said it didn't make us feel nervous…

WATCH: Love Island's Leanne and Scott speak about life outside the villa

It’s now been three months since Sarah Ferguson has ‘gone to ground’ after leaving the UK two months before her ex-husband Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s shock arrest on February 19th.

It has since been reported that the disgraced former Duchess, 66, has been spending her time hiding in plain extravagance, having reportedly enjoyed a sojourn with friends in the French Alps, before heading to the UAE and then onto Switzerland before jetting to a secluded spa in Ireland.

Now, after sources recently revealed that she has been staying in the guest house of her uber-famous pal, Priscilla Presley, in New York, as she undoubtedly calculates her next moves after being unceremoniously dumped from the royal fold, we’re told that Sarah has been forced to face up to the harsh reality that she is ‘radioactive’ right now.

An insider says, ‘Sarah’s world has gotten very small, she’s effectively been banished from London, and even in America, where she used to get a great welcome; she’s now seen as radioactive.

‘It’s a huge shock for her but she refuses to go down without a fight, and in her view its crucial she has a comeback strategy.’

And for Sarah, who spent two decades living in palatial splendor at Royal Lodge with her ex-husband, what better way to bounce back than on the arm of a Sugar Daddy?

However, in order to meet a new love interest, we’re told how Sarah plans to embark on an epic surgery spree in a bid to boost her confidence and fight off any competition she may have on the exclusive dating scene.

The insider says, ‘She’s on a mission to land a rich sugar daddy and knows the better she looks the better her chances.

‘She says if she can shave a few years off her face and tighten up all her loose skin, she’ll have the edge she needs to land someone wealthy and well-connected, someone who can help her get back to the social status she’s used to.

‘It’s really the last thing she should be thinking of right now, with all that she has going on, but she’s convinced it’s what she needs to get some of her confidence back.’

Sarah is already known for her six-monthly trips to a high-end wellness retreat Mayrlife in the Swiss mountains, so the reports that she flew to the £13,000 a day resort earlier this year to escape the furore surrounding her friendship with Jeffrey Epstein may not have come as a surprise

But beyond her usual icy bootcamps, massages and detoxes, Sarah knows she needs something a little more drastic to turn the past year around, and we’re told how she now plans to undergo a string of surgery treatments as soon as possible.

The insider says, ‘She’s sure that the minute she’s linked to someone with serious money, the tone will shift and doors will start opening for her the way they used to. But right now, she’s a long way from that reality and desperate to turn it around by getting herself this makeover.

‘She’s determined to find the cash one way or another and says she needs to do it fast because time isn’t on her side. She insists this isn’t something she can put off, and says she needs to get the work done as soon as possible so that she can allow time to recover, and then get herself back out there on the dating scene while she still can’.

Meanwhile, the high-end look she will undoubtedly desire is unlikely to come cheap, with Kris Jenner’s highly-sought after facelift rumoured to have cost $200,000.

‘She sees so many women her age who are turning back the clock with really great results but it does not come cheap. The sort of work Sarah wants is in the six figures and that’s way out of her budget,’ the insider says.

And the source says her daughters Princess Eugenie and Princess Beatrice are unlikely to agree to help towards the cost of Sarah’s latest vanity project, adding, ‘She’s already getting help financially from her girls but there’s no way they will agree to foot that kind of bill, not least because they would worry about the risks of all the surgeries she wants.

‘And let’s face it, most of her friends have ditched her so there are very few people she can even ask.’

WATCH: Love Island's Scott on The Traitors is EXACTLY what we want this year

As Claudia Winkleman’s hotly-awaited chat show launched to mixed reviews recently, sources say the beloved star has been hit hard. But she is determined to make her new programme a hit.

‘Claudia is the first to admit she’s still finding her feet. She has been TV’s golden girl for so long – she’s rarely faced proper criticism – so this has hit harder than people might expect,’ we’re told.

‘Claudia knew stepping into her own chat show would be a risk, but she didn’t expect such a mixed reaction straight out of the gate. Some viewers loved her warmth and humour, but others felt the show didn’t quite land, especially when it came to the guest line-up.’

Jennifer Saunders, Vanessa Williams, Jeff Goldblum and Tom Allen joined Claudia on the sofa for the first episode of The Claudia Winkleman Show, which drew an audience of more than 1.4million on its debut earlier this month, while former One Direction singer Niall Horan, West Side Story star Rachel Zegler, and comedians Joanne McNally and Guz Khan were guests on the second.

‘There’s been a lot of chatter that the guests didn’t feel strong enough, and that’s something Claudia has taken quite personally. She’s usually so positive, but this definitely dented her,’ our insider says.

‘This is the first time she’s had to prove herself in a completely new way and it’s daunting. This is very different to what she’s used to, and she’s realised how exposed it feels. There’s no script to hide behind, no theatrics, it’s just her leading the conversation. Claudia really cares about her work, so even mild negative feedback knocks her confidence more than she’ll let on publicly.’

TV critics were split in their opinions over the show, which is airing in Graham Norton’s usual slot on Friday nights. Some called it ‘endearing’ and ‘full of fun banter’, and praised the Traitors and Crufts host for her ‘warmth’ and ‘wit’. Others, meanwhile, called the show ‘awkward’ and ‘boring’.

Graham Norton, whose production company So Television is behind the new project, lauded Claudia, 54, despite the backlash, and insisted there shouldn’t be any comparison between them.

‘What Claudia did was The Claudia Winkleman Show and that’s what she’s supposed to be doing,’ he said. ‘She shouldn’t be trying to be me. She should be trying to be Claudia, and she nailed that.’

Claudia shared her apprehension and nerves before the show’s launch, saying, ‘I’m obviously going to be awful, that goes without saying, but I’m over the moon they’re letting me try. To be in the same slot [as Graham] is a total privilege and also completely nerve-racking.’

This is just a blip in Claudia’s stellar career, following her successful turns on Strictly – which she co-hosted with Tess Daly for 11 years, before they announced their decision to quit last year – and The Traitors, as well as The Great British Sewing Bee and The Piano. The Traitors has swiftly become one of the most popular entertainment shows on TV, with the debut celebrity instalment pulling in 15million viewers last year.

But we’re told that the chat-show criticism has only strengthened Claudia’s resolve not to fail. ‘The upside is she’s not backing away from it. If anything, it’s made her more determined to improve,’ our insider says.

‘She wants to tweak things and find a rhythm, so it feels more natural for her. She’s taking it as a learning curve, and is being so hard on herself as she wants it to be perfect.’

They add, ‘Claudia has a lot riding on this being a success. She is hugely respected and supported behind the scenes, but there’s definitely pressure for the show to find its footing quickly and that makes her nervous.’

WATCH: Love Island's Helena reveals where she stands with Carrington after leaving the villa 👀

Nathan Katnoria is heat and Closer online's Senior Digital Writer. He writes about all the latest and greatest reality TV, including Love Island, Made in Chelsea, Geordie Shore, Big Brother and Love is Blind UK and has interviewed everyone from Charlotte Crosby to Chloe Brockett and Miles Nazaire to Megan Barton-Hanson.

It was pretty obvious during series three of Love Island that Olivia Attwood would be the standout star.

From her blazing row with Montana Brown and her turbulent relationship with Chris Hughes (more on that in sec), to her bringing back the word 'ick' - we were obsessed from the get go.

Almost eight years since she walked into the villa we're STILL writing about Olivia but this time we're doing a deep dive into everyone she's dated after a photo recently surfaced of her kissing her co-host and pal Pete Wicks.

If you told us this time last year or even six months ago that we'd be writing about Olivia and Pete we'd think you're lying because she was very much happily married to her estranged husband Bradley Dack (again, more on that in a sec), but alas, here we are.

So without further ado, here's your need to know on Olivia and her exes...

Chris Hughes

We obvs have to start with Olivia's Love Island ex Chris. They had more rows than anyone else on their season and we never knew if they'd ACTUALLY be able to make it work but surprisingly they did - well for a hot minute.

Olivia and Chris came second on Love Island 2017 and managed to last longer than the actual winners Kem Cetinay and Amber Davies. The runners-up even managed to bag their own reality show, Chris & Olivia: Crackin On but it was doomed because they split while they were filming.

To be fair, a lot happened during their relationship - from 'nasty' arguments and Olivia drunkenly tweeting her ex Brad to THOSE flirty texts between Chris and Katie Price (throwback).

And if you're wondering if they're on good terms - because they did split back in 2018 - we can tell you they're probably not. In 2025, Chris starred on Celebrity Big Brother and when a fan asked Olivia about her thoughts on Chris and JoJo Siwa (who are still together, fyi), she didn't exactly deny that he was 'game playing'.

Callum Izzard

Not sure if this one counts tbh, but we're including Callum Izzard because he hooked up with Olivia during the season finale of Celebs Go Dating.

'Olivia and Callum have barely spoken all series but they ended up shocking everyone by enjoying a few drunken snogs whilst filming the shows finale,' the source told The Sun at the time.

'Show bosses were not best pleased as there is a strict no dating policy between celebs.'

Bradley Dack

Her latest ex is of course, her estranged husband Bradley. Olivia and Brad met before she found fame, in fact, they actually dated before her Love Island stint and he even tried to stop her from going on the show.

'I told him [about going on Love Island], "I said this is what's happening" and he was just silent on the phone and I was like, "You didn't want to commit or whatever so this is what it is."

'Anyway I flew back from Germany and I literally had a few days to pack, my best friend was coming to my house and was helping me pack and I was getting picked up by a chaperone from the show at 5am in the morning.

'He turned up at my flat at midnight the night before I left. He'd had like a penny drop moment,' she said on PrettyLittleThing’s Behind Closed Doors podcast.

Olivia still went on Love Island obvs; she dated Chris and after a stint on Celebs Go Dating she reunited with Brad. They got engaged in 2019 and despite postponing their wedding a few times, they tied the knot in 2023.

Unfortunately, in January 2026 it came to light that they'd split with reports emerging that Olivia decided to call it quits after he 'breached her trust'.

At the time a source told heat magazine, 'Bradley breaking her trust again was the final straw.

'He had his head turned and messaged girls on social media, which was completely unacceptable to her. Things haven’t been great with the couple for a while, and Olivia is not prepared to give the marriage any more of her time or energy. She feels lighter emotionally, even if the break-up itself was painful.'

Pete Wicks

He's not an ex, not even a confirmed 'fling' but after THOSE photos of Olivia and Pete first surfaced in Ibiza rumours started flying around their friendship because at the time she was still happily married to Bradley.

Speaking exclusively to heat magazine, Olivia told us, 'I think it’s to be expected when you’ve got two straight people working together. It happened when I first joined TOWIE, and Pete and I became very close and spent a lot of time together.

'I just don’t get too invested in it. I am wild, and I do go to Ibiza every year and let my hair down. And I do get told off by my husband. I’m not perfect, Brad’s not perfect, but we make it work.’

However, after Olivia and Brad split, the rumour mill went into overdrive surrounding her relationship with Pete and in March 2026, a photo of the former Love Island and TOWIE star KISSING surfaced.

While neither of them have spoken out about their kiss, we reckon give it time because not only do they co-host The Sunday Roast on Kiss FM together, but Sam Thompson is bound to get something out of Pete on their Staying Relevant podcast. SURELY?

Everybody place their bets: how many MAFS Australia couples do we think are still going strong?

We're only a couple of weeks into the 2026 series of Married At First Sight Australia and, naturally, it's THE most explosive season yet. We know, we know, we say this every year but TRULY if you have even seen a snippet of the reality TV series you will know that we tell no lies.

But what we really want to know is if Stella Mickunaite and Filip Gregov are still together? Did the matched couple make it out of the social experiment turned dating show an item? Or are they one of the many who failed to make it in IRL?

As always, spoilers lie ahead, guys, so if you want Stella and Filip's romance to be a surprise, just click away (but also don't because we have so much to tell you).

We've only just met Stella and Filip but from all appearances they are pretty loved up, in fact, Stella claimed her carpenter beau had ZERO red flags. In a man? Is she sure? We're kidding, he seems lovely.

But as we all know, in the world of MAFS things can all change in a heartbeat, HOWEVER, if social media is anything to go by we have good news for Stella and Filip fans...

First off, they are still very much social media buddies, which we all know is a great sign considering how sour these romances can go.

Not only that, but all you have to do is give them a little stalk online and you can see people have spotted them out and about looking all kinds of loved-up.

We bet Brooke is eating her words right about now.

If you're reading this it's probably because the third season of The Sidemen's reality show Inside has just dropped on Netflix and while the cast looks LIT (including Chloe Ferry and Saffron Barker), it's Love Island's Indiyah Polack and content creator Marlon Lundgren Garcia that has us glued to our screens, let's be honest.

If you don't know the tea about Indiyah, Marlon and Dami Hope then get comfy because we've got all the deets.

So, late last year we were shocked when it came to light that one of the Love Island couples we genuinely thought would last forever had split - series eight's Indiyah and Dami.

The Islanders met on Love Island 2022 and despite being coupled up with different people at the beginning, they went from friends to lovers (one of our fave tropes) and appeared to be one of the strongest couples in the villa... until Casa Amor struck.

Dami coupled with Summer Botwe and Indiyah got together with Deji Adeniyi and even though there was a lot of drama, one of the best things about the Casa fallout was their iconic back and forth around the fire pit about being the 'best heartbreaker'. It left everyone (Islanders and us) gagged and even Jacques O'Neill said, 'f--king hell'.

Despite all that though, they got back together and came third in the final. They went on a bunch of holidays, moved in together and were the last remaining couple from their series, but it was December 2025 that rumours start floating that they'd called it quits.

At first it was all over the press with a source telling the Daily Mail, 'It's been a difficult time for them both, they built their lives together, and no one expected their relationship to end so suddenly.

'They have no plans to enter the Love Island All Stars villa. Indiyah is focused on co-hosting the podcast, while Dami isn't interested, knowing it would be an unforgivable level of disrespect.'

Then Dami dropped a 2025 highlights Instagram dump and Indiyah was missing from ALL the photos - which basically confirmed that they were no longer together.

However, the plot thickened when a video surfaced of Indiyah SNOGGING her Inside co-star Marlon.

At the time, Indiyah posted a statement on her Instagram Story, 'I am aware of the video that has been shared online.

'I made a mistake and take full responsibility for my actions. I understand the hurt this has caused. I won't be commenting further.'

Marlon also spoke out and said on his livestream, 'Of course I want to apologise to the people involved in this situation, I really really do.

'I’m not trying to be no character like that, I’m not trying to be no f**king evil person, I don’t want to be no evil person, that’s not how my mum raised me.'

He added, 'I made a mistake for sure, I wish I was a better man, I really really do, just in general. I’ve just got to learn from it and that’s it.

'That’s pretty much all I have to say about this situation.'

Indiyah hasn't said anything else about their split and Dami's not spoken out either but now that Inside is airing on Netflix we reckon it's only time before a cryptic caption or quote is posted.

We can't say we were all that surprised when rumours began to circulate that there was something romantic blossoming between Love Island legend Olivia Attwood and her radio colleague Pete Wicks.

The duo have been close for a while and since Olivia split from Bradley Dack everybody has been wondering if her friendship with Pete was going to become something more. Turns out that would be a yes. We think.

Over the weekend Olivia and former TOWIE fave Pete were snapped having dinner at some dimly lit boujee restaurant in London and in this day and age they simply must have known someone would spot them.

In photos obtained by The Sun, the reality TV stars turned radio DJs are quite clearly locking lips and not in a 'were just friends' way, in a 'oooh lets have a sexy dinner and feel the chemistry' kind of way.

Obviously once the pics were splashed over the internet we have been checking out Olivia and Pete's socials for just a hint of something, unsurprisingly it's Olivia that has taken to Instagram first.

It's not exactly groundbreaking news and she hasn't soft-launched anything but Olivia did share a video someone took of her (we assume with her knowledge as she posted it) of her erm do we say massaging? Stroking? Tickling? her feet where she added the caption, 'Guys honestly I'm fine.'

She also posted some BTS snaps of a photoshoot she was having where she, rather sarcastically declared herself, 'very shy.'

Olivia also revealed a selfie of her back at work in the KISS radio studio, which is of course the show that she co-hosts with Pete. Imagine they decided to hard-launch the new romance on air that would be iconic, although we can't imagine Bradley would be too impressed, he's already unfollowed her on social media.

Last summer people began to wonder if something was going on between Olivia and Pete as, despite her still being married to Bradley at the time, photos of them looking very cosy indeed surface after they went on holiday together.

At the time everybody put the cuddling down to the duo just being close friends but six months later Olivia moved out of her home she shared with Bradley and it was confirmed the'd officially broken up.

This time last month, Love Island: All Stars 2026 winners Samie Elishi and Ciaran Davies were basically the golden couple of UK showbiz.

Fresh off the win, £25,000 richer each, and giving big 'we’re never leaving the honeymoon phase' energy; the crème de la crème of the villa-to-real-life journey.

Fast-forward a month and the split rumours aren’t just bubbling – they’re boiling over. Whispers of a Samie x Ciaran break-up are riper than ripe, and if they’re true, the pair may have only lasted two or three weeks outside the villa before calling it quits.

That would put them firmly in the running for one of the shortest-lived winner romances in Love Island history.

Even more dramatic, some fans are apparently so wound up by the alleged early break-up that they’re calling for Samie and Ciaran to hand back the prize money. As if ITV is going to pop up like, 'Hi babes, can we have that transfer back?'

What we do know for sure is this: Samie is currently on a brand trip in New York City, while Ciaran has just moving in with US bombshells Yamen Sanders and Zac Woodworth. Meanwhile, the newly-crowned winners have basically stopped interacting on social media – no cute comments, no flirty likes, no 'miss u already' energy.

And let’s be real: for a couple that’s just won All Stars, that’s not exactly standard behaviour.

Oh, and Mitch Taylor seems to reckon it's legit, too.

Naturally, because neither Samie nor Ciaran has actually said anything publicly, the silence is only fuelling the rumour mill. Enter eagle-eyed fans (and yes, us too) analysing every tiny post, caption and emoji like it’s a crime drama.

Case in point: earlier this week, Samie posted a message about her 'favourite person' – and for a hot second, people thought it might be a subtle shout-out to Ciaran.

Alas… no.

The comment wasn’t aimed at Ciaran at all, but at Samie’s Love Island bestie Sophie Piper.

Sophie - an All Stars 2024 finalist - is currently living her best life in LA pursuing her modelling career, but took time out to visit Samie on her East Coast work trip, which is adorable, but not quite the happy reunion we were looking for.

In a grid post round-up on Sophie’s Instagram, Samie popped into the comments with 'my favourite personnn ♥️.'

So, consider this particular 'clue' filed neatly under: dead end. Still, with the pair staying tight-lipped and the socials giving tumbleweed, we can’t pretend we’re not watching the next post like hawks.

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

I’ll start as I mean to go on: frank and furious. As a lifelong Buffy the Vampire Slayer fan, I think I can speak for this painfully passionate fandom when I say losing Buffy for a second time was on none of our bingo cards this year. We’re not just hurt and angry – we’re mourning, unnecessarily. We deserve better. Sarah Michelle Gellar deserves better. The legacy deserves better. And Buffy Summers deserves better. After all, she saved so many of us.

If you get it, you get it. If you don’t, lucky you – you probably didn’t need her like we did.

This Buffy 'reboot' - picked up 23 years after the original series ended in 2003 - wasn’t some half-baked whisper that lived for a day on TikTok and died in the comments section. It was well in the works. It was getting to that point where you could almost picture it: the 'new' Sunnydale, the new Big Bad, the return of that very specific Buffy-verse feeling – horror and heart in the same breath, the kind of show that can make you sob and then immediately make you laugh at a pun. Our humour. And probably yours, if you’re reading this.

We know exactly when it became real: February 2025, when Sarah Michelle Gellar confirmed she was involved (and planned to star) in the project with legendary director (and Buffy fan) Chloé Zhao – and the fandom collectively lost its mind in the best possible way. Not just because we’re sentimental, but because Sarah’s involvement made it feel protected; like Buffy was being handled by someone who understands what this show is and why it still matters. It wasn't 'a reboot is coming,' it was 'Buffy herself is involved,' which is basically the only sentence powerful enough to revive an entire generation’s inner 14-year-old in one go.

It was happening. It was going to be back on our screens and in our lives in late 2026 or early 2027 via Hulu.

And that's the gag: Buffy has literally already done 'it ended' and 'it came back.' Sunnydale fell into a crater, the Hellmouth got zipped shut, and we still didn’t stop needing her. That's the point of the show — evil doesn't politely wrap itself up because the season finale happened. The monsters evolve. The setting shifts. You move on, you 'start over'… and somehow the darkness still finds you. So a reboot with a 'new' Sunnydale - a fresh mouth of hell, a new generation feeling those tremors under their feet - isn't a betrayal of the story. It is the story.

Which is why what happened next feels so foul. According to Sarah and an endless number of reports, Hulu pulled the plug after a pilot had been made. Not 'it never got off the ground.' Not 'it was just early talks.' A pilot existed, and Hulu decided to stake it.

And because Sarah Michelle Gellar is Sarah Michelle Gellar (POV: MOTHER, unproblematic, zero gatekeeping), she didn't let it rot in silence while fans spiralled or let us find out via a cold trade headline and some 'sources close to production' nonsense. She told the fans immediately – straight to the people who’ve kept Buffy alive for 20+ years. And within minutes, the internet was a crater. Not because we’re dramatic (fine, we are), but because being handed Buffy back and then having her ripped away again feels cruelly familiar.

Then came the explanations, and somehow they made everything worse. We’re told the pilot didn’t feature Buffy enough. It was 'too young.' Too 'small.' Too something for Hulu execs. Too young? Buffy started in high school because that’s where loads of us met our first monsters – and I don’t mean vampires. I mean cruelty dressed up as banter. I mean being watched, judged, hunted, and made to feel like you’re the problem just for existing. The show was never 'young' in the dismissive way people mean it. It was young in the way real pain often starts early.

And the cherry on top of this rage sundae: an exec reportedly saying he’d never watched Buffy and never would was majorly responsible for pulling the plug. Imagine being proud of that. Imagine deciding the fate of a story that’s saved lives, then announcing you refuse to even look at it for what it is. That’s not taste. That’s a man in a suit doing what men in suits have always done – dismissing the things that keep outsiders afloat because it doesn’t matter to him. That’s the Watchers' Council.

I hope it’s not true – but it’s also depressingly on-brand for Hollywood, isn’t it?

Meanwhile, Sarah has been the exact opposite of gatekeeping. Honest with fans. Respectful about what she can say. Clear about the love that’s still there – and seemingly unafraid to shine a light on where this actually fell apart. That’s why she’s reached utter MOTHER status for the gays, theys and girlies: she doesn’t patronise the people who love Buffy. She doesn’t act like we’re embarrassing for caring. She understands this is bigger than 'a role.' It’s a legacy that changed - and saved - people.

And I can’t write about that without admitting why I’m taking this so personally.

I was severely bullied at school for being gay. I was told I didn’t fit in. That I was wrong. That 'other' was something to be corrected, mocked and punished. I learned how to shrink myself to survive, how to clock danger in a room before anyone even spoke. And I’ve brought myself back from the abyss more times than I can count – not in a neat, inspirational-quote way, but in the raw way where your mental health is the monster… and that monster was birthed by a Big Bad.

Buffy was a character surrounded by demons, and she fought them. That strength - that stubborn refusal to lie down and stay down - was what all of us wanted so desperately. Because it wasn’t just power. It was permission. Permission to be scared and still be brave. To be hurting and still survive. To be 'other' and still be the hero.

And Buffy didn’t just make room for 'other' – it celebrated it. The misfits were the heart. The Scooby Gang were proof that found family can be the difference between sinking and surviving. And for queer viewers, Willow and Tara weren’t 'a storyline' – they were a landmark. A love story treated with tenderness and seriousness when so much queer representation was a joke, a cliché, or a tragedy waiting to happen. That wasn’t just nice to have. For a lot of us, it was a lifeline.

Which is why I’m furious and maybe this isn't the most cohesive piece of writing I've ever published – I'm angry and hurt. Because queer kids still need Buffy. Bullied kids still need Buffy. People tortured by their own mental health still need Buffy. And adults who made it out but still carry the bruises? They need her too. Because Buffy doesn’t pretend the darkness isn’t there – she shows you how to walk into it and come out the other side.

So yes, we’re mourning. But it isn’t melodrama. It’s memory. It’s gratitude. It’s survival.

Bring Buffy back – and this time, let her live.

WATCH: Olivia Attwood teases what's ahead for her podcast and it sounds SO good 🤩

Ben Pulsford is a digital writer and producer at Bauer Media, creating content for Closer online and heatworld. Beyond his journalism, he is a presenter, singer and podcaster, co-hosting the Spill the Fizz podcast with Traitors series 2 star Diane Carson.

After five and a half weeks of Lucinda Strafford and Scott van-der-Sluis causing absolute mayhem in the Love Island villa you'd think all the drama would be done, but oh how we were wrong.

The drama between the All Stars 2026 cast is still rumbling on and now it looks like finalist Leanne Amaning may have unfollowed one of her co-stars.

You're probably thinking who on Earth has Leanne unfollowed? She got on with everyone, barely had an arguments and was even besties with Lucinda who managed to ruffle pretty much everyone's feathers.

However it looks like her friendship with Belle Hassan may be over as they've apparently unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Leanne and Belle unfollowing each other might not come as a surprise to fans considering their love triangle with Scott, but we reckon what will shock you was how close they apparently were in the villa.

Opening up about their friendship, Whitney Adebayo explained, 'In the beginning, me, Leanne and Belle were gang.

'Then things shifted when Leanne took Yamen [Sanders] into the Secret Garden but it didn't shift because of me, it shifted because obviously in a trio, the sisterhood, there are unsaid rules that we don't have to state - loyalty.

'I didn't take it personally because I know Leanne didn't want to do it, but obviously she's trying to move on from Scott. If you've got to take my thing to make yourself feel better, I don't even know this man - like that at this point in time - she didn't want to do it but she done it, charge it obviously, we're on reality TV.'

She then went on to say, 'Back to sisterhood, when one person does something to someone else and then the third person sees it being done, of course you've given it the okay, you've set the precedence, you've opened the door for that same thing to be done.

'The rule's been broken. So that's what happened and then for a couple of weeks when things were settling and whatnot it was just me in between, because I'm cool with everyone, so I tried to console everyone.'

And after the dust settled it appeared that the girls were back on good terms again.

'That's why when you see the dancing video [of Leanne, Whitney and Belle], the trio's back. Leanne's happy with Scott, Belle's happy with Harrison, I'm happy with Yamen.

'The trio's back it came from a strong trio before you lot didn't get to see it, I just found out that no one got to see. It was literally me, Leanne and Belle. We were gang absolutely,' she said on her Dare To Talk: Unfiltered podcast.

Unfortunately, it looks like the trio are no more as Leanne and Belle no longer follow each other and the Love Island 2019 star has also unfollowed Scott.

No surprises there though, after all, the last thing she told him before walking out the villa was, 'You're going to have fun listening to me speak on the outside I tell you that for free Scott, prep yourself mate.

'The truth as always.'

LOL.

WATCH: Love Island's Leanne and Scott reveal their fave things about each other 😭❤️

Obviously we are gutted that Love Island All Stars has come to an end but that does mean our fave contestants are out in the real world navigating a whole new level of fame.

Apparently being a reality TV star involves appearing on countless podcasts, attending press trips and spending a LOT of time on Snapchat. The latest person to gossip about their time on the dating show is Flynn Ryder himself, Carrington Rodriguez.

Carrington was accompanied by Mr Millie Court aka Zac Woodworth as he paid a visit to the podcast of fellow All Star Whitney Adebayo.

Chatting on Dare To Talk, Carrington offered up a hilarious story about his villa stint which left him with the fear he was set to be kicked out by producers.

'I was in a hallway and I hear on the intercom, we call it the Voice of God, "Carrington the girls are changing you should leave this room," I'm like, "okay," there's a wall and then theres a hallway,' he explained and Zac was already smirking, 'I'm going to go down the hallway.'

The mischievous look on Zac's face as Carrington told the story was enough for us to guess exactly where the tale was going.

'I walk down the hallway, two seconds after hearing that, boom, Whit's boobs - out,' he explained and this time Zac and Whitney really were cackling, 'in my face.'

'They weren't in your face,' Whitney declared through a laugh, 'I'm literally naked, I'm looking at him, here's looking at me, I'm like, "Why are you still looking?"'

'I didn't know what to do,' he admitted, 'I was stunned. I was hypnotised as we call it. Then I turned around and I go back in the room and I'm thinking, "This idiot on the top, telling me to go down the hallway." I'm like I'm going to get kicked out of here, I barely know these girls.'

Obsessed with Carrington blaming the person on the tannoy who apparently didn't give him clear enough directions which resulted in him coming face to face with a nude Whitney.

'Then Whit goes, "You might as well walk down through," and I walked by,' he explained offering up a stellar Whitney impression, 'and that was that but I was very worried I was going to get pulled and get kicked out the villa at that point.'

We're glad that Carrington didn't get booted out and judging by Whit's reaction she handled the unprecedented collusion with charm and ease.

WATCH: Name a more iconic duo than Love Island's Scott and Leanne… We’ll wait 😂

Emily Vierke  is a digital writer for heat and Closer Online who enjoys stalking The Love Island girlies for fashion inspo especially Indiyah Polack and Grace Jackson. Emily has a soft spot for TOWIE OGs Amy and Harry, mainly because she was also not aware that the capital of India was New Delhi she DID, however, know that know it wasn't France.

Every year Love Island producers mix things right up by unleashing 12 new bombshells on the OG Islanders for Casa Amor and every year it causes utter CHAOS.

Love Island 2025’s Casa was no exception (in fact, it was downright apocalyptic), with what felt like more bombshells than ever being brought back to the main villa and one of those lucky Islanders was Lauren Wood, who recoupled with Harrison Solomon.

Prior to entering the villa, Lauren admitted her ‘game plan’ was to ‘win Harrison over’ and it worked, until it didn't...

Lauren was dumped from the villa with Harrison leaving 24 hours later however they then split with Harrison taking part in the third series of All Stars 2026, which Lauren was NOT happy about.

When we say she wasn't happy we mean the bombshell went on every podcast out there to voice how upset she was with Harrison's behaviour.

Now that All Stars series three has finished, here's your need to know on Lauren who wasn't on the show but certainly caused some drama in the villa...

Who is Lauren Wood?

Lauren was a Love Island 2025 Casa Amor bombshell who made it back to the main villa after turning Harrison's head.

How old is Lauren Wood?

She's 27 years old. Lauren was born on 11 February 1999.

Where is Lauren Wood from?

Lauren lives in York.

What happened when Lauren Wood was on Love Island?

Lauren entered Casa Amor with her eyes set firmly on Harrison and she managed to turn his head from Toni Laites as he chose her to go back to the main villa with him.

However, it was far from smooth sailing for Lauren as even though Harrison brought her back and Toni coupled up with Cach Mercer, there was still something between the former couple.

From Movie Night, where Harrison's flirty chats with Toni were aired, to being voted the least compatible couple, it was an uphill struggle for Lauren and her Love Island bae. It didn't help that Harrison simply could not decide who he wanted to be with and would spend half of his day with Lauren and the other chatting away to Toni.

It went from bad to worse for Lauren, because despite having sex with Harrison, he still flirted with Toni and had a secret terrace rendezvous with Toni where he essentially asked her to pick him in the next recoupling.

Toni was unaware of what has occurred between Harrison and Lauren so picked Harrison at the next recoupling, leaving Lauren devastated and confused. Lauren ended up in a couple with Ty Isherwood but it wasn't long before Harrison went crawling back to her.

After telling Toni he 'missed Lauren' she decided to take a step back (Toni, that is) to allow Harrison to neck on with the Casa Amor bombshell. However, a few days later Angel Swift arrived and chose to date Ty which left Lauren single and dumped from the villa.

After a desperate conversation with Harrison where she begged him to leave with her, Lauren was booted off the dating show. Just a day later, Harrison quit Love Island in order to build a relationship with Lauren out of the villa.

Are Lauren Wood and Harrison Solomon still together?

Nope. The former couple called time on their relationship in early November 2025.

A source told The Sun, ‘It’s over – they’re both really upset but it wasn’t working.’

As reported by the publication, Lauren said, ‘Hi everyone, Harrison and I have decided to no longer continue our relationship but will remain friends as everything was amicable and mutual. We share such amazing memories together, ones that not many can relate to. Please respect our privacy whilst we navigate going our separate ways.’

Not long after, Harrison took part in All Stars where he coupled up with Belle Hassan, the duo left as couple and are still an item.

What is Lauren Wood up to now?

She's doing the single Islander thing, really; lots of events, lots of red carpets, lots of TikToks etc. She also runs A LOT.

What is Lauren Wood's Instagram?

Lauren's on Instagram at @_laurenkwood.

Nathan Katnoria is heat and Closer online’s senior digital writer. He became obsessed with Love Island when Malin Andersson came back to confront Terry Walsh in series two and hasn’t looked back since. When he’s not interviewing former Islanders, Nathan is scrolling through their Instagram feeds for relationship updates and piping hot tea.

It’s been six months now since Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce announced their romantic engagement last August; with the happy news told to fans through a carefully curated portrait of the power couple surrounded by roses, which Taylor posted to social media.

The gorgeous pair, who have been dating for almost three years, are now reported to be counting down the days until they tie the knot, with speculation mounting that The Date could be in just a matter of weeks.

And it seems that even Taylor isn't immune to pre-wedding jitters, as we’re told that even the world’s biggest popstar is tackling her inner bridezilla, as a source reveals how the bride-to-be has been left ‘rattled’ after details of their wedding were leaked.

Throwing a colossal spanner in the works, a US outlet revealed that Travis, 36, and Taylor, 36, will be tying the knot at Ocean House in Rhode Island, a picturesque seafront venue close to the singer’s own home. And now our source says Taylor fears the most important day of her life could turn into the ‘circus’ of her nightmares.

An insider says, ‘Taylor’s incredibly excited about marrying Travis, but the logistics of it all are causing her a ton of stress.

‘She’s someone who likes to control every detail and keep big moments private, so the fact that their timeline and all sorts of other details have already leaked out has really rattled her. To the point where she’s even floated the idea of changing their plans completely to throw everything off and avoid having it turn into a circus.’

Furthermore, a source also claimed that the wedding will be held on June 13th. The number is famed for being Taylor’s favourite and it's claimed the singer went as far as to ‘pay off’ another couple to secure their preferred day. But now the source says the bombshell leaks have also forced Taylor to have second thoughts over their wedding date.

However, following the news that Travis will not be retiring from the Kansas City Chiefs this season, as widely speculated, we’re told the couple have ‘limited availability’ for other dates; with the decision causing ‘sleepless nights’ for stressed Taylor.

‘The problem is there aren’t a lot of other options as far as their schedules go, they have a very tight timeline because it all has to fit around Travis’ football schedule,’ the insider says.

‘Taylor totally supports him going back for another season, it’s what he loves, but it hasn’t made the wedding planning easy. Or the honeymoon for that matter because he’s going to have such limited availability once the preseason starts.

‘Travis handed off most of the planning to Taylor because she has a real vision of what she wants. The downside of that is she’s getting very overwhelmed, to the point she’s having sleepless nights as a result.’

But Taylor hasn’t built an entire empire from dwelling in her own self-pity, and now she’s channeling her incredible drive into what is bound to be the showbiz wedding of the decade.

Yet as every wedding planner knows, there is only a matter of time before you really have to lock in wedding favors (yep, I’m sure grandma would love a jagermeister); the seating plan (dear Lord above) and the table top wild flowers (that really do seem staggeringly expensive for something you can quite literally pick from a field). And the source says Taylor, too, has to contend with all of this and more before the start of Travis’ training.

‘They want to be married before Travis goes starts training camp in July so the window is literally shrinking by the day, she really needs to lock her plan in and stick to it,’ the insider says.

‘And to be fair, she did have a plan set until all these details started coming out. It’s always very unsettling for Taylor when things about her life get leaked because it makes her feel like she has to side-eye everyone in her life.’

Meanwhile, after years of having worked hard to build an almost sacred inner circle of her most trusted family and friends; often called her ‘squad’ and including the likes of Selena Gomez and Gigi Hadid - who are rumoured to be bridesmaids for the Big Day - and the Haim sisters, the source says there has been whispers that the leak may have come from Travis’ camp.

The insider says, ‘In this case there’s some chatter that the leaks are coming from someone in Travis’s camp so now he’s on a mission to figure out who’s blabbing, which isn’t exactly his favorite thing to be having to do.

‘But he is taking it seriously, anything that upsets Taylor, upsets him. At the same time, he’s also trying to get her to relax about all of this. From his point of view, it’s not the end of the world if people find out their plans ahead of time, especially since changing everything is going to mean so much stress for her.

‘He keeps reminding her that what actually matters is the two of them committing to each other, not whether every last detail stays under wraps.’

For Taylor, who has previously dated a string of very eligible bachelors -including Harry Styles, Calvin Harris, Tom Hiddleston, Joe Jonas and Jake Gyllenhaal – it’s clear that she sees her wedding day as a once-in-a-lifetime celebration, as we’re told she wants every detail to be ‘perfect’.

So much so, that she’s even started to feel envious of her close friend Selena's recent wedding to husband Benny Blanco, with the high-profile pair managing to keep their nuptials under wraps until announcing the news themselves.

The insider says, 'Travis is usually very good at helping her see things from a different perspective, but this is her wedding, she wants everything to be perfect and for her a big part of that equation is total privacy.

‘She wants to be able to do what Selena did and just announce the wedding after the fact. She says Selena’s wedding was perfect, and the fact that she got to share the pictures on her own terms rather than having them leaked out beforehand made it even better.’

They add, ‘Taylor says she just wants the same thing, to be able to control the narrative on the biggest day of her life. At this point she hasn’t scrapped her original plan, not yet. But it’s something she's going back and forth about and if more details come out she says she'll have no choice.’

Hands up who knew Love Island American babe Sher Suarez was on a Lisa Vandeprump reality TV show before All Stars - and you didn't tell us? We're sending all of you to The Chokey.

The Miami babe took part in the third season of Love Island All Stars and she was cool as a cucumber during her villa stint and as it turns out she has a LOT of reality TV practice. Not only has Sher been on Love Island USA before (obv) but she has also appeared on Ex on the Beach as well as Vanderpump Villa and Sher is now set to return to the latter for season three.

Sher's new TV stint came after rumours she's no longer dating Jack Keating, who she left Love Island All Stars with, that being said, just last week Carrington Rodriguez revealed that Sher had sent a bunch of birthday bits for Jack's birthday.

We're not love experts but you don't uber balloons, cake and surprise gifts for someone you're not interested in, right? Plus, the hotel is based in the UK so it doesn't look like Sher is jumping on a flight back to Florida anytime soon which means date plans for Jack and Sher may well be on the cards.

Vanderpump Villa will see Sher work at the hotel with cast members from reality TV shows coming to stay, apparently those from Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Made in Chelsea will appear.

We're guessing it'll be Sam Vanderpumpand Alice Yaxley that make a surprise appearance on the show. If you ask us, with everything Alice and Sam have going on at the moment a cute staycation is exactly what they need for their new family, so let's hope Sher and co don't mess it up.

It does also say that Love Island UK peeps will feature and we can't work out if they are just referring to Sher because technically she was on Love Island UK, or if it means the likes of Tyrique Hyde and Toby Armoloaran are going to be paying Vanderpump Villa a visit.

For our sakes we hope it's the second, for the cast of the show's sake we hope it is the first.

Can you believe it's been a year since we were introduced to the MAFS Australia icon that is Jacqui Burfoot?

Her time on Married At First Sight Australia was WILD. We should have known we'd still be talking about her a year later after she cried on her wedding day over her husband Ryan because he wasn't blond, hadn't shaved and didn't offer his coat when she was cold.

Things didn't get any better as it came to light that she'd secretly been texting another groom (Jeff Gobbels) and after telling Ryan 'in a world of red flags, you are the red carpet' during their final vows, they both decided to quit the experiment.

However, no one (us included) was prepared for the MAFS reunion when it came to light that Jacqui had RECOUPLED with intruder groom Clint Rice - who was originally coupled up with Lauren Hall (who had previously been coupled up with Elliot Donovan).

It's been a whole year since Jacqui and Clint went public with their relationship and the last we heard they were engaged, and a year on - they're still loved it.

In fact, they're due to tie the knot next month. Announcing the exciting news, they wrote on Instagram, 'Mr & Mrs Rice, Save the date: ?? APRIL 2026.'

They also wrote on the video, 'OMFG we are getting MARRIED next month!'

Lots of her followers rushed to comment with one person writing, 'You deserve all the happiness in the world ♥️.'

Someone else said, 'Squeal!!!! We are so excited for you both 🥰.'

One more added, 'Congratulations to you both. Wishing you both love and happiness ❤️.'

And while Jacqui is set to get married soon, her ex Ryan has also apparently moved on from the MAFS experiment.

Not only that, but Eliot and Jamie Marinos sparked recoupling rumours with a source telling Australian publication Woman's Day, 'This isn’t just a fling. They’re very much in it for real...

'They’ve gone from mates to full couple mode. It’s been a bit of a whirlwind, but it feels natural for them.'

AND Awhina Rutene and Billy Belcher also confirmed they'd recoupled after their marriages on screen didn't work out. So that's proof that MAFS can work, just not with whoever the experts pair you up with.

There are still a few weeks to go until the second series of I’m A Celebrity... South Africa (aka I’m A Celeb All Stars) hits our screens and, frankly, we couldn’t be more excited to see Gemma Collins return to camp and munch on some camel nether regions.

But although the show is yet to premiere, it sounds like the GC is already involved in the thick of the drama as she’s reportedly been caught up in a feud with one of her co-stars.

It’s claimed that Gemma accused fellow campmate Sinitta of leaking stories about her to the press (à la Coleen Rooney and Rebecca Vardy’s Wagatha Christie drama) in scathing messages, in the cast’s WhatsApp group chat, leaving the 80s popstar ‘incredibly upset’.

A TV insider revealed, ‘All Stars hasn’t even aired yet, but it’s all been kicking off. Gemma is at the centre of this astonishing new spat.

‘A few weeks back, out of nowhere, she dropped a message into the group WhatsApp chat accusing someone of leaking stories about her to the press. And before anyone could even tap out a reply, she accused Sinitta of being the rat.’

The source told The Sun, ‘It was like Wagatha Christie all over again. No one in the group could believe what they were reading. No one replied. Basically, it put a massive cloud over what had been a rather jolly group.'

They added, ‘Some of the celebs in the chat rallied to Sinitta because they felt it was unnecessary to make such an accusation in a group setting. Poor Sinitta was dumbfounded and incredibly upset at such a scurrilous accusation being made against her — with zero proof.’

The group chat drama is said to have simmered down in recent weeks after Gemma and Sinitta came face-to-face at the show’s press launch earlier this month.

‘Sinitta made a beeline for Gemma in bid to try and put this to bed. She had been beside herself with worry and the other celebs were clearly aware there was this unspoken tension,’ the source explained. ‘But Gemma then shocked everyone by being very nice to her face and brushing it all off.

‘It left a bad taste in a lot of famous mouths because Gemma had caused all this tension, then just made out like it was nothing. Sinitta was obviously pleased it had been put to bed.

‘But it’s caused ripples amongst the cast, who are now scared they could be accused next.’

Coleen Rooney is usually
the queen of keeping calm and carrying on – especially after everything she and wayward husband Wayne have weathered over the years. But as she prepares to celebrate her milestone 40th birthday on 3 April, heat has been told the excitement
has been clouded by the fallout from her husband’s latest boozy scandal at the BRITs.

And while Wayne had lined up a few surprises for her big day, we’re told the WAG has now pulled the plug, as she
is determined that he won’t ruin it.

‘Coleen is planning to host a few of her closest friends and family at a country house for a weekend. There’ll be a big lunch on the Friday, followed by a black-tie dinner on the Saturday night – which Wayne had been planning to give a big romantic speech at.
And, as it’s Easter, she’s organised a big egg hunt on the Sunday. Then, later in April, there’ll
be a big party with DJs and music.’

Wayne celebrated his 40th last year – and Coleen pulled out all the stops – but we’re told she isn’t keen on any big gestures from Wayne as she doesn’t want to fake anything.

‘She’s told Wayne a speech is off 
the cards now,’ says our insider. ‘He didn’t take the news well, and told her he would give it regardless, but she’s adamant that’s not happening. Initially, he pushed back, saying it was a ridiculous overreaction, but Coleen told him that she didn’t want him ruining her night and using her birthday as a way to get back in the good books of all her friends and family who are upset about this latest bad behaviour.’

Coleen and Wayne’s 17-year marriage has endured its fair share of turbulence over the years. The latest bump occurred earlier this month when Wayne was seen partying into the early hours of the morning with two mystery women at 
a pre-BRITs party in Manchester. As heat previously reported, Coleen was left humiliated, with an insider telling us, ‘She’s said she’s almost numb to it now.’

Since then, the couple – who are parents to Kai, 16, Klay, 12, Kit, 10, and Cass, eight – have
put on a 
united front, with Wayne surprising his wife at the Liverpool launch of her new Primark collaboration, having missed the London launch a few days earlier. However, despite Coleen putting on a brave face, our source says she’s still not happy with him.

‘No one is impressed with Wayne right now, and there have been quite a few angry reactions from her 
own family and close friends,’ our insider says.

‘Wayne is just hoping Coleen calms down before her birthday weekend, so he can at least say something at the dinner. He’s been warned he’s on lockdown for the foreseeable future – no going out and no drinking. Coleen’s also made it clear she’s sick of babysitting him and always having to make excuses for him
to her family. She’s told Wayne he needs to grow up because there are no more second chances – he’s all out of them.’

The source adds that the severity of
the situation is not lost on the football pundit.

‘Wayne had been planning on taking Coleen away for a few days before her
birthday, but she’s told him to forget that, too. Spending time alone with him is the last thing she wants to do right now.’

The source adds, ‘Wayne’s pretty taken aback. He was expecting the usual – being read the riot act, watching his step for a bit, and then things getting back to normal. He’s beginning to realise how serious things are, and it’s shaken him. He’s just desperate to win Coleen back.’

MAFS Australia has only just started airing in the UK but we know for a fact that one couple doesn't work out because one 2026 bride has not only reunited with her ex-boyfriend but they're having a baby together AND are engaged.

What a year.

FYI, Married a First Sight Australia is usually filmed during our (UK's) summer, so between July and October, but fast forward to March (so five months after the entire series wrapped filming) and one bride has dropped her HUGE news.

Major, major, MAJOR spoilers ahead obvs...

While we've only just seen Brook Crompton and Chris Nield get married on MAFS Australia, their 'marriage' doesn't last because two weeks after they left the experiment in August last year, she got back with her ex-boyfriend Harry.

'We were both like, "OK, if it didn’t work back then, what are we going to do to make it work now?” but Harry invited me away to the Maldives a couple of weeks later for a surfing trip with his family friends and that just cemented things for me.

'We just had the most beautiful time. We were better than we had ever been,' she told Women's Day.

It was in November that Brook discovered she was pregnant and on Christmas Day - so well before MAFS Australia started airing in Australia, let alone the UK - Harry got down on one knee and proposed to her.

'It’s been such a big year – reconnecting, the pregnancy, everything. I just wasn’t expecting an engagement as well. But it was perfect,' she added to the publication.

The reality star has also opened up about her pregnancy on Instagram and said, 'Baby boy on the way, and a forever with you 💍.

'To our little boy, you’ve already filled our world with so much hope and love. The past year, and especially these last few months, have taught me more than I ever imagined about patience, love, and the person I want to be.

'I’ve dreamed of being a mother for as long as I can remember, and sharing this journey with the person I love most makes it even more special.'

She went on to say, 'Harry, you are my rock, my safe place, and my heart. Thank you for making my dreams come true and for showing me what family truly feels like. I can’t wait to watch you become the father I know you’ll be, kind, strong, and full of love.

'Baby boy, we are waiting for you with full hearts. You’ve already changed our world in the most incredible way. We can’t wait to meet you, hold you, and begin this next chapter of our lives together 🪽.'

It's safe to say that Brook and Chris don't last and while they were rumours that she was texting her ex (well, now fiancé) while she was still on the show, not only has she denied the claims but she's also insisted it was never going to work with her 'hubby'.

'[Harry would] never fat-shame a woman or speak about anyone badly. He sees the beauty in everyone. I’ve actually never been with someone that speaks about women that poorly.

'So right from the get-go, I was like, "This person is not for me." It was very much like, I’ve been paired with this person for TV ratings but I can’t regret it, because I honestly believe that if we hadn’t had that time apart, Harry and I genuinely would never have gotten back together,' she explained to the Australian publication.

Well, that's at least one series 13 MAFS Australia couple that doesn't work – we wonder how many more will fail...

Eden-Olivia is the deputy editor of heatworld and she’s worked in showbiz since 2016. She loves watching MAFS UK and AU and one of her favourite contestants of all time is the iconic Collins Christian.

Twelve years on from her jungle stint, when she infamously
quit after just 72 hours, Gemma Collins is back. The former TOWIE star, who lasted longer than three days this time around, tells heat how much she missed her stepson Tristan, whose dad is her fiancé 
Rami Hawash.

‘My little stepson was the first person I called when I came out of the jungle, I’d missed him so much. Then I called Rami,’ she says. Gemma says she blocked out thoughts of Tristan, seven, so she could focus on surviving in the South African savannah alongside
her fellow latecomers Harry Redknapp, Craig Charles and Jimmy Bullard on the all-stars spin-off I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! South Africa.

‘In the beginning,
I literally shut it down in my mind – the only way 
I could stay strong was not letting my mind go there,’ she says.

‘But towards the end, those thoughts kept coming. I started thinking about what we would be doing after I picked him up from school. That’s when it started to break me.’

After suffering a backlash for her previous appearance on the show, Gemma, 45, says her
IAC comeback was ‘redemption’. She adds, ‘I’ve spent my whole life with this black cloud hanging over my head. It’s not The GC in there, it’s Gemma Collins as you’ve never seen her before. You’ll see me vulnerable, you’ll see me thinking I’m Lara Croft. I was stripped bare.’

The other celebrities competing for the coveted legend title include Scarlett Moffatt, Sinitta, former Pussycat Doll Ashley Roberts, actor Adam Thomas, soap star Beverley Callard, comedian Seann Walsh, ex-
boxer David Haye and Olympian Mo Farah.

While she bonded with her campmates, Gemma admits it wasn’t all laughs and light moments.

‘It’s a lot tougher this time, so much tougher than before. Camp life grinds you down. It breaks you in ways you’ve never been broken before,’ she says.

‘I left some trials broken to within [an inch] 
of my life. I can’t describe the pain I felt. It was so traumatising.’

But she adds, ‘It was one million percent the best decision I ever made. I had unfinished business but this was redemption. And I shut it down.’

Made in Chelsea is back, baby. Series 31 returned with two episodes and so much chaos, we are glad we have a week to digest all the drama. Obviously Inga Valentiner had returned and was reunited her villain ex Sam Prince, everyone's fave golden retriever Jack Taylor stripped naked after losing some sort of game and Livvy Barker snogged ANGUS FINDLAY, of all people.

We had an inkling that newcomer Phil Pollard would be making moves on Beks Collins - seeing as he literally said he fancied her prior to joining the show - but what we did NOT expect was how his sister, Jules Pollard, would react.

ICYMI, during the cast staycay in Scotland, Beks and Phil shared a few flirty glances and a cute little breakfast which was interrupted by Jules who was far from convinced by the duo dating and even claimed Beks wasn't funny.

‘She’s not a bag of laughs,’ Jules told Chuggs Wallis before later admitting that she said, Beks was also not intellectual.

Fans took to social media to call out Jules' behaviour, with comments over Instagram and TikTok offering Beks support and kind words.

'Jules I'm sure you are very sweet... BUT you were so rude and cruel to Beks it was hard to watch,' one person wrote on an official Made in Chelsea post.

Someone else commented, 'Jules was awful to Beks.'

One more added, 'Jules was vile to Bex, so uncalled for.'

Although she hasn't directly spoken about the uncomfortable scenes, Beks shared a fit check on TikTok and even there people wanted to show her love.

'You handled yourself gracefully in today’s episode against Julia’s mean comments,' one person declared with someone else writing, 'Love you in MIC you're such a genuine person ❤️.'

Beks responded to a few of the comments with a sweet reply of, 'Thank you 🥹💗🫶🏼' and we're just glad people are showing her love.

It's not like Beks and Phil are getting married or anything, in fact by the end of the second episode Beks had ended whatever was going to happen between them. As for Jules, she is yet to comment or the episode but we have a feeling it will all be addressed as the show goes on.

WATCH : Name a more iconic duo… We’ll wait 😂

Emily Vierke is a digital writer who has dabbled in the world of celeb, beauty and fashion. She knows all the goss on the cast of Made in Chelsea, is a BIG Lauren Sintès and is forever obsessed with the queen of one-liners, Lucy "why is everyone getting up in my grill?" Watson. Long may she reign.

When Kelly Brook strips down to an itsy bitsy teenie weenie leopard print bikini, male and female fans alike tend to notice, and as the UK countdowns down to official Springtime, the bombshell has bravely bared her famous FF boobs once again for her recent collaboration with Next.

The one-time lads mag model and TV star, 46, took to social media to unveil the new range of swimwear she has helped design for the high-street retailer and, as ever, it’s  packed with curve-hugging silhouettes that only emphasize Kelly’s figure.

And fans were not left disappointed, praising Kelly as ‘gorgeous’, ‘stunning’ and ‘a real goddess’. One fan commented ‘Looking better than ever’, while another added, ‘You are the most beautiful woman in the world’.

A further follower also called the former Loose Woman an inspiration to others, writing, ‘Amazing public figure who embraces her figure. I hope it helps females out who realise they are sexy and beautiful if they are not a size 6’.

Meanwhile, for Kelly, the collaboration is personal after years of her body being scrutinised in the spotlight.

For the last few years, she has become increasingly outspoken about embracing her natural shape and sharing the freedom it gave her to enjoy meals cooked by her equally delicious husband-of-four-years, Jeremy Parisi.

In November, Kelly shared how her doctor had offered her the Mounjaro weight loss jab, saying on the How To Fail With Elizabeth Day podcast, ‘I love my body, I absolutely love my body. I did a marathon this year, and I’m 45 years old.

'My body has got me through so many things, and I just love my curves, my husband loves my curves, I just think it’s unfortunate that women feel the need to change who they are.'

It’s a refreshing message and Kelly, who was once an ambassador for Slimfast, really does seem to embody what it feels like to be confident and comfortable in her own skin; a message she hopes her swimwear designs will help other women feel too.

Designed for women with ‘big boobs’ like herself, the range is also part of Kelly’s The Swimwear Campaign. Alongside Next, her aim is to provide flattering and supportive shapes for women from a DD to K cup size.

Her move into swimwear design is hardly surprising given the career that first made her famous, having started modelling as a teenager after winning a national competition at just 16. With her hourglass figure, full lips and FF assets, Kelly quickly became one of Britain’s most recognisable glamour models, making her debut for FHM and GQ nearly two decades ago in 1997.

It was the start of a career that saw her top FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World list after a poll of 15 million people and she appeared in the list every year as fans continued to lap up her sizzling shoots.

She’s also enjoyed a thriving film and TV career but it’s her fabulous frame – and those world-famous natural FF boobs – that have grabbed the public’s attention for so long. And now she’s cashing in on her best assets once again.

Talking about her prized assets at the height of her modelling career, Kelly once admitted, 'I've always been a curvy girl and have a body of comedic proportions. I've got huge boobs and I've got a huge bum. I've always had that body.

‘Even when I was a teenager, I was curvier than everyone else. That's just the way I've been built. There's nothing I can do about it and there's nothing I want to do about it – it's just me. I've learnt to embrace it, accept it and make it work for me.’

From her fashion empire to the perfectly polished Beckham brand, Victoria Beckham is used to controlling the narrative. But now, after reports that a new book is currently being written about their ongoing family fallout, heat is told the matriarch has been sent into meltdown – and fears she could lose everything.

‘Victoria has gone into panic mode over this book and she’s absolutely frantic,’ a source tells us.

‘She’s stopped replying to messages from even close friends and isn’t answering calls, even from some family members. The paranoia has really set in and she doesn’t know who’s been approached or who might betray her, so she’s gone into a tailspin of conspiracy theories. She doesn’t know who to trust.’

The book – reportedly due out in August – is said to have the working title Brand Beckham, with the subtitle, ‘The fame, the feuds, the fallout’ – and it is being described as an ‘inside account of the Beckham family saga’. That family saga famously started at eldest son Brooklyn’s wedding to actress Nicola Peltz in 2022, before tensions reached boiling point in January this year, when Brooklyn, 27, shared a damning six-page statement accusing his parents of controlling him, putting Brand Beckham above everything else, and trying to ruin his relationship with his wife.

Despite Brooklyn making it clear he didn’t want contact with his parents, Victoria, 51, and David, 50, have still tried to keep the door open – recently extending an olive branch on social media to mark his 27th birthday. With a new tell-all book in the works – which publisher Penguin teases will include ‘never-before-seen details and stories about the workings of the Beckham empire’ - it has been reported that some of their closest friends and even Brooklyn’s ex Hana Cross have been contacted directly to see if they’ll talk.

‘Victoria’s especially worried about Nicola and Brooklyn being tapped up as sources. The way things are right now, she fears Nicola especially could jump at the chance to expose her darkest secrets without being put in the firing line herself,’ the source says.

‘In Vic’s mind, if they were to talk, they would know absolutely everything. That is her biggest nightmare, as she could lose everything she’s worked so hard for in addition to her relationship with her son.’

But while the fashion designer’s concern over this latest book is growing by the day, it’s not the first time she’s had to face this kind of threat. Tom Bower’s The House Of Beckham was released in 2024, in which he sensationally claimed the famous couple are masters of ‘dishonesty and lies’ and that they only stayed together for the sake of the brand.

As the rumoured new tell-all threatens to bring yet more scandal to the family, sources tell heat David is doing everything he can to reassure his wife.

‘David is really concerned. He’s been encouraging Vic to step away from everything for a while and go on a retreat to clear her head, amid fears she’s heading for some kind of breakdown. This, on top of the heartache they’ve endured with Brooklyn, has truly pushed her to the brink,’ our source says.

But despite David’s pleas, Victoria can’t help but feel on edge, and now she’s even starting to question those closest to her.

‘She’s starting to look at everyone differently, even people she’s been close to for decades,’ the source adds.

‘She’s wondering who might talk or who might be tempted to share stories about the family.

‘She’s terrified the author will dig up things that have never been made public before. There are private conversations, tense moments behind closed doors with David, and issues within the wider family that she feels could be incredibly damaging if they were exposed.’

Britney Spears is in turmoil after being arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol earlier this month. And now, after sparking fears for her wellbeing, insiders tell heat that Britney, 44, is begging sons Sean, 20, and Jayden, 19 – who she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline – to stand by her, despite their strained relationship.

‘Britney is so embarrassed about what’s happened,’ we’re told. ‘She’s promising to do whatever it takes to clear the slate and earn back her boys’ trust and respect. She wants to set a good example for them and has been calling and texting them constantly, apologising and asking them not to give up on her. Britney’s love for her boys has never been in question, but as strong as her love is, it doesn’t always factor into the choices she makes.’

On 4 March, the singer was taken into custody after being spotted driving ‘erratically’ and showing signs of ‘driving under the influence of a combination of drugs and alcohol’. She spent one night in jail before being released and is due to appear at Ventura County Superior Court on 4 May. It comes after a difficult period for Britney, following the release of Kevin’s memoir You Thought You Knew in October.

Kevin, who was married to Britney from 2004 to 2007, made explosive allegations, including claims of drug and alcohol use while she was pregnant and breastfeeding. Britney – who was under a 13-year conservatorship between 2008 and 2021, and has since sparked concern among fans with her erratic videos on social media – has denied the accusations.

Meanwhile, Kevin has had primary custody of Sean and Jayden since Britney’s 2007 breakdown and now lives with the boys in Hawaii. In a 2022 interview, Jayden said his relationship with his mother ‘can be fixed’, but would take ‘a lot of time and effort’, and he’s said to have been the one spearheading a reconciliation in recent years. Following Britney’s arrest, Kevin’s attorney said, ‘Kevin hopes for the best for Britney.’

However, we’re told she is reluctant to seek help. ‘People worry that when it really comes time to go to rehab, it won’t do a lot of good. Either that or she won’t even go,’ says our insider.

‘If she senses people are trying to control her, it immediately brings back memories of the conservatorship and she panics.

‘Right now, the only thing that really matters to her is making sure things are OK with Jayden and Sean. She’s been working so hard to rebuild her relationship with them and she’s devastated that this could put everything in jeopardy. If anything is going to motivate Britney to finally follow through with real changes, it’s the fear of disappointing her sons.’

From her infectious cackle to her candid opinions on Loose Women, Judi Love is pretty unforgettable. And with appearances on shows ranging from Strictly to Celebrity Gogglebox and Last One Laughing, she’s also one of the most familiar faces on telly.

She’ll soon be gracing our screens again in her hilarious new primetime Saturday night ITV show, Celebrity Sabotage. When we chat to her, the mum of two isn’t shy about unleashing that infectious cackle, telling us everything about her role on the dastardly new series, which involves Judi and her fellow saboteurs – Sam Thompson, GK Barry, and Joel Dommett – joining forces to compete in secret missions in order to win money for the contestants, who think they are taking part in a glitzy new reality show hosted by Clare Balding and Rylan Clark ,and are entirely unaware they could be walking away with their pockets full of cold, hard cash.

Judi – who is currently in the middle of her All About The Love stand-up tour – tells us what it was like getting to show her ‘mischievous’ side, which guest star she fangirled over, and what she really thinks about all the recent drama at ITV…

What made you think Celebrity Sabotage was the show for you?

Knowing that we were going to be making money for people who didn’t know we were trying to make money for them! That’s really lovely, and very funny. I think people are going to love it. Saturday night TV is the best. Everyone’s a bit relaxed because you’ve still got Sunday off. You’ve done a bit of food shopping, everyone’s got their snacks, and you’re on the sofa having a nice time with people from the telly. You’ve got that moment together as a family, whatever your dynamic is. We used to have Play Your Cards Right, You’ve Been Framed, Blind Date… all those brilliant shows that I still remember, and now we’ve got a new one.

Sounds like a great day at work…

It was! All of us had this little moment, where we were like, ‘Ooh, we get to play a game and we get to be a little bit mischievous.’ It’s one of those shows that has you on the edge of your seat, and it’s fun, because it’s one for all the family. It’s lovely that viewers are kind of in on the prank – I think that’s what really gets you.

You’ve also got celeb guest stars in each episode, and Jo Brand is the first one – are you a fan of hers?

I definitely fangirled over her. She was the coolest cat I’ve ever worked with. She was like, ‘Yeah, we know what we’re doing…’ We’re panicking about the task and she’s taking her time and playing it cool, and Jo Brand doesn’t listen to shouting. She’s her own boss and we love it. Trust me, there are some names coming up in the series that you’re going to want to see.

How did you get on with your fellow saboteurs?

Oh, they were brilliant. Sam was like the little son, GK was like the teenage daughter, and me and Joel were like the parents. Sam is lovely for his energy – he’s got such a good vibe. Then GK is just so damn funny and sweet, and she’ll go the extra mile for the contestants. Joel is a real team player – he’ll be like, ‘We’re going to do this.’ In the moments where we thought we couldn’t do it, he was there pushing everyone on.

Did you all become close?

We did, and I miss them. But the beautiful thing is, I still speak to them just as much as when we were filming. I mean, Sam even helped my son with a running challenge and supported him with his training. GK and I have done other shows together, and obviously we both do Loose Women and we speak outside of work a lot. I got to spend the afternoon with Joel and his bubba, too. It was proper bonding for all of us. We had great conversations and we laughed a lot, and that was really important for the show. It was just us being a bit silly, a bit funny and doing crazy things.

What’s your friendship circle like outside of work?

I’ve still got my school friends. I’ve got a small circle of friends that I’m very blessed with and I keep tight with them. We try to prioritise time for each other. We’re very understanding of the fact we’re all busy doing different things, but we never let it be an excuse to not see each other. I think friendships are about quality over quantity.

Do you love being a part of Loose Women?

It’s lovely. The team’s amazing. It’s a team full of such talented women and amazing people behind the scenes as well. I can call so many different women for different advice if I need to. It’s a circle of knowledge, strength and beauty.

How do you feel about all the recent daytime changes at ITV?

All I keep my focus on is loving working with the women, loving working with the team, and continuing to make a great show.

What is it about the show that resonates with so many people?

I watch it even when I’m not on it, because it’s got that connection thing. You know there are going to be five good topics discussed on there, and there’s going to be one where you’re going to be like, ‘That’s a bit of me.’ It’s that relatability.

Do you feel like you learn from your fellow Loose Women?

Oh, most definitely. You’ve got women in there who have been journalists for over 25 years and who have interviewed a number of our Prime Ministers. Women who have travelled the world, women who have had long marriages, short marriages, women who have tried different health regimes, grown children, or raised children on their own. It’s like an encyclopaedia of knowledge. It’s insane, it’s brilliant, it’s diverse and it’s never boring.

There is a lot of experience on that panel…

The other day the panel was made up of Janet [Street-Porter], Gloria [Hunniford], Kéllé [Bryan] and Ruth [Langsford]. I mean, those four women alone – you’re talking about Ruth, who has been one of our daytime queens for how long? Janet, who once worked for the BBC, was a producer, has written books and has just done her own theatre shows. You’ve got Gloria, who is a legend in the game in Ireland and the UK and has had her own shows on TV and radio. She’s a phenomenal broadcaster, right up to today, and she’s 80-something. Then you’ve got Kéllé, who has been an international singer and is also a minister now. She’s an advocate for lupus, and she’s a phenomenal mother. That’s just four of the women. I want Janet to write a movie. That’s what I really want to happen. Her life is insane and I keep telling her she has to do it.

You often work on your own when you do stand-up. Do you prefer flying solo or being part of a team?

Both are fun. I just like working with great people. Celebrity Sabotage is a completely different show to Loose Women – the things that we do and the way we interact with each other and other people brings out these different dynamics, but I think that’s why it works so well. It’s also about the people at the end of the day. And the two shows cross over, with me and GK both being on Loose Women. Joel has been on Loose Women before, and Sam has been a Loose Man, too.

People seem to love the spin-off show Loose Men…

That show is unique in its own right. It definitely is important for the men to have that show, and we always champion it.

You’re going off on tour soon – how is that? Is there something that you always take with you?

My notebook, my laptop, a good playlist, and I have coconut water in my room. This time, I’ll be taking salads as well. We’re not eating on the road. We’ve agreed not to do fast food places. We’ve got to be really good. When you’re on tour, you’ve got to have so much energy. It’s so much easier to grab a late-night snack after a show and I’m just Judi and her fellow saboteurs definitely much more mindful of being healthier this time around. Touring is intense, but it’s a joyous feeling. Travelling around our beautiful country and meeting different people who have spent their time and money to come out and see me? I feel so blessed in that.

How did you deal with hecklers?

I heckle back! More often than not, the people who have come to see me are fans, so they’ve come to have a fun night. Unless people have had a bit of a drink and then things might get loud, but that’s live comedy for you. You just never know!

What are your exercise go-tos?

I love a gym session. I love pushing weights. I went to the gym with my daughter the other day. She was doing the Stairmaster, so I gave it a go. Oh God – it kills you. But I love lifting weights and feeling strong. I researched and read that strength training is really important, so that’s what I’ve been focusing on. I’m not an expert, but I’ll always do a bit of research. I had a great PT at the beginning of last year, so I definitely got good tips from him.

You always seem to be happy… with a hint of side-eye. What’s your secret?

I’m doing a job that I can’t call a job. It’s joyous. I get tired, but that’s the same with anything, and I know how blessed I am. To wake up and know I’ve just finished filming a show that’s going to be on ITV on a Saturday night – it’s a beautiful feeling. How can you moan about that?

Was going into showbiz always your career plan?

I mean, I just go with the flow. I’m blessed to be here and I don’t think we ever know what’s going to come. You can only hope, and when something great comes along, I do sit in it and interview Glammed up at the BAFTAs think, ‘Wow, this is amazing’.

Do you practice gratitude?

As standard. I don’t think I’d be here if I didn’t. I’m always grateful for all I have, all that’s to come and all that I’ve had before. Gratitude is a must, I would say. It’s about being present in the moment. It’s about taking the time out to say thanks to people. It’s showing up when you are involved in something. It’s appreciating the smallest things more than necessarily the massive things. It’s about acknowledging others and understanding why you’re doing things. Why are we doing these funny, crazy things? Because there might be someone at home who will watch it and need it, and it’ll make them feel good. That’s an amazing thing.

Celebrity Sabotage starts on Saturday 21 March on ITV1, ITVX, STV and STV Player
