BREAKING SH0CKING & SAD NEWS: Harry Redknapp (I’m A Celebrity)’s Wife Sandra, 78, Rυshed to Hospital in Bad C0ndition – Doctors Racing Against Time over her Illness!

Sandra Redknapp has been hospitalised with a mystery illness, a racing commentator has revealed.

Racing pundit Matt Chapman paused proceedings during Thursday’s coverage on ITV4 as he issued an update on her condition.

Matt went on to say that Harry Redknapp, 78, would be watching the race from hospital rather than the stands as his wife of 57 years was being treated there.

It is not known when Sandra was taken to hospital or what she is being treated for.

‘So, King of Bears, just to say Harry Redknapp will be watching this horse from his hospital bed, but not his bed, his missus Sandra is just being treated in hospital at the moment,’ Matt said.

‘Sandra, if you’re listening in – I think she wanted to watch Emmerdale, but Harry’s making her watch this race – I really hope King of Bears runs well.

‘He’s a character. He could win it, he could finish last, but he gives Jack Doughty a big chance for [trainer] George Scott.’

Harry was a promising young footballer with West Ham United when he met apprentice hairdresser Sandra Young on a rowdy dancefloor above Stratford’s legendary Two Puddings pub in 1968.

Months later they were married, with Sandra supporting her husband as he finished his football career with defunct north American club Seattle Sounders before establishing himself as a much-loved coach and manager.

Some fifty-seven years after their wedding day the Two Puddings has long-since closed its doors, but Harry and Sandra remain as inseparable as ever.

And the couple have insisted the key to their remarkable longevity is mutual friendship.

The couple share two sons, Jamie and Mark.

Appearing on a 2022 edition of Loose Women, Harry said: ‘We just love each other. It’s always just the two of us, people probably think we’ve got no friends.’

The former West Ham United, Tottenham Hotspur and Portsmouth boss featured on the ITV show alongside his wife as they promoted their memoir, When Harry Met Sandra, an anecdotal look back at their love story.

Recalling the life-changing night he crossed paths with Sandra, Harry said: ‘There used to be a dance above the two puddings in Stratford – it was like a disco where they played all the music, so I went along with my my mate.

‘Sandra was there with her mate. We plucked up the courage to have a dance and I think Sandra got the worst deal because my mate was better looking than me.

‘That was it really, we’ve been together ever since.’

Better known for his 32-year managerial career, Harry won a broader fanbase in 2018 after winning the eighteenth series of ITV reality show I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

The former football manager was famously reunited with his wife in the Australian jungle after show bosses granted a surprise meeting.

Harry admitted his emotional reaction was the consequence of Sandra falling ill before he entered camp.

He explained: ‘What made it worse was just before I went on the show Sandra had sepsis and was really ill, so I wasn’t going to go, you know.

‘But then she improved so I said any problems and I’m out of there straight away.

‘Anyway when they called me down to the Bush Telegraph of whatever they called it, they said “we want you out, you’ve got to leave the camp immediately.”

‘I said “why, what’s happened?” They said, “we can’t tell you, you’ve got to go out, you’ve got to leave now.”

‘So when I saw Sandra it made it ten times worse as I thought there was a problem.’

She began her career at ABC in the mid-1990s as a teleprompter operator during Peter Jennings’ tenure on World News Tonight.

Over the years, she became a key figure behind the scenes, working alongside anchors including Charles Gibson, Diane and David Muir.

Her departure was marked with an on-air tribute from the World News Tonight team.

“Finally tonight, a personal note about someone we will miss here at ABC News,” David said in the segment introducing Michele’s farewell.

Diane spoke about Michele’s behind-the-scenes role and influence on the anchor desk.

“I want all the wonderful people who watch World News to know that when you’re watching the person sitting at this desk, you’re really also watching the coach behind the camera. Michele was always there to say move it along, or slow it down, or time to get out, or, in my case, she had signs printed up [that read ‘Sit up straight’],” she said.

“When Shelly says sit up straight, you do,” David added.

Charles reflected on his first official night anchoring World News, recalling: “The first night the show was mine, not just filling in for Peter, I came into the studio and Michele said to me, ‘There may be some people around here who are a little bit afraid of you. I’m not. I’m the person that will tell you what to do.’ And she did, in the nicest way, for four years.”

David paid tribute to Michele’s long-standing role on the team. “I am still in denial about all this. I can’t believe Shelly is leaving. My partner in crime out there…you deserve this, Shelly, go home to Kentucky, back with your family and the horses and the beautiful countryside…I don’t know what I’m going to do,” he said.

Diane added: “We were just two Kentucky girls who got to the big city. She was hilarious when you needed a laugh and, most of all, she is and always will be a person who cares passionately about what we do.”

Numerous ABC and Good Morning America colleagues shared messages of appreciation on social media.

“She always kept me on point btw. We’ll miss you fiercely, Michelle!” wrote Deborah in the comments of an Instagram post.

Chief meteorologist Ginger Zee called her “an institution,” adding, “Going to miss you dearly. Sending you all the sunshine.”

TV personality Julie Smith added, “This is soooo sweet! This relationship really does become a close and valued one. Also… Kentucky ladies are where it’s at!”

ABC News correspondent Mireya Villareal also chimed in: “What an amazing career and journey! Your love and protective energy for the set and all its people were incredible to watch and experience. Enjoy your time back home.”

BREAKING SH0CK AND SAD NEWS – Fox News cuts broadcast Mid-Show as sudden and TRΛGIC PΛSSING leaves viewers Stunned and Heartbroken!

Ozzy Osbourne d13d Tuesday(Image: KAMIL KRZACZYNSKI/AFP/Getty Images)

Fox News interrupted its Tuesday broadcast (July 22) to deliver the devastating news that rock legend Ozzy Osbourne had d13d — with anchor John Roberts sharing personal memories of the Prince of Darkness in a rare, emotional on-air tribute.

 

“He was in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice,” host Martha MacCallum told viewers, noting Ozzy’s dual induction. “Once with Black Sabbath and once as a solo artist.” Bringing in Roberts, she added: “John’s here now — John, good to have you with us. You knew Ozzy Osbourne?”

 

Roberts reflected on two interviews with the rock star that spanned decades. “I got a chance to interview him twice — once was at the Rock in Rio Festival in 1985. We were both substantially younger then than we are now,” he recalled. “He said he went into the Betty Ford Clinic because he didn’t want to di3.”

 

“He got kicked out of Black Sabbath because of it. And he said when you go into the Betty Ford Clinic, everyone is like everyone else — you’re vacuuming the floors and cleaning the toilets,” he added.

But the road to recovery was far from linear. He continued, “Then he said it didn’t work, and he had to go back some 15 times before he got sober, and that would have probably been about 2004.

 

“I interviewed him again in October 2010 when his memoir came out, and in one passage of the book he said he did so much cocaine during the day that he had to smoke a bag of pot at night just to stop his heart from exploding.”

Roberts also told viewers about a revelation the rock star made about dying. “The interesting thing about Ozzy is a lot of people never thought he’d live past the age of 50,” he said.

Roberts reflected on two interviews with the rock star that spanned decades

“But then again, with all of the things he did to himself, you thought he would live forever. So, to see him pass away at the age of 76, by statistics, is quite remarkable. But it’s really quite sad, as a lot of people thought he was going to live a lot longer.”

Osbourne’s d3ath was confirmed Tuesday morning in a statement from his family: “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning.

 

“He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time.”

Diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2003, the Black sabbath frontman didn’t publicly reveal his condition until 2020.

Despite health struggles, he made a triumphant return to the stage earlier this month for one final show in Birmingham — reuniting with his original Black Sabbath bandmates for a farewell that would ultimately become historic.

Ozzy Osbourne passes away in Sorrow – His Final Concern for daughter Aimee Osbourne leaves everyone in Tears!

The legendary musician and former Black Sabbath band member passed away Tuesday, just weeks after his band’s farewell performance. Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Bill Ward, and Geezer Butler reunited for the first time in two decades to perform some of their biggest hits on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.

 

His family, including daughter Aimee, said in a statement, “It is with more sadness than mere words can convey that we have to report that our beloved Ozzy Osbourne has passed away this morning. He was with his family and surrounded by love. We ask everyone to respect our family privacy at this time. Sharon, Jack, Kelly, Aimee and Louis.”

 

Many in the Osbourne family have taken to the limelight, though some still keep a private life. Aimee, the oldest daughter of Ozzy and Sharon, has kept her life private despite her superstar family.

While the world got to know Jack and Kelly on the family’s reality TV show The Osbournes, Aimee, now 41, was the only child who refused to participate. In fact, she moved out at just 16 in order to stay away from the cameras, according to the DailyMail.

She has spoken out against her families decision to put their lives on display, saying she wished her parents had chosen differently.

 

Back in 2008, she told The Independent: “I’m not some weirdo depressed daughter that’s afraid of the world and locks herself in her room all day.

“I just didn’t choose to do the show. I want to be a singer, and I felt if I’d stayed with the Osbournes and done the whole thing I would have been typecast right away.”

 

She added that her mom was hurt by the decision and the two have had several disagreements since, as she’s always been more reserved.

Aimee recently reflected back on those times, confirming her thought process: “Back then, I still felt I was trying to figure out who I was in the chaos of family life, so why on earth would I want that portrayed on television?

“I wanted to protect myself, my parents, my siblings, too. They were very young, very impressionable.”

At Ozzy’s recent farewell tour, many of the family could be seen, except Aimee. BLAST reported that she was invited by intentionally didn’t attend.

In 1995, Ozzy released a song called “Aimee” as a bonus track on his album Ozzmosis. It discusses “always loving” someone named Aimee, understood to be his daughter.

In 2021, Kelly confirmed she and Aimee were no longer close, and the sisters’ personalities often clashed. On the Armchair Expert podcast with Dax Shephard, she said they were estranged.

These days, however, Aimee seemed to be following in her dad’s footsteps. She shared on Instagram last year that she recorded music at Abbey Road Studios for the first time.

The recent Turmoil at BBC – Scandals gradually being EXPOSED or just a Pre-Planned move for restructuring?

Alex Jones admitted she was unaware her co-star was sack3d (Image: GETTY)

Alex Jones has opened up about her former co-star Jermaine Jenas who was sack3d by the BBC and stripped of his presenting duties on The One Show and Match of the Day. The Welsh-born broadcaster, 48, has said she had “no idea” about complaints made against her former co-presenter Jermaine. The former Tottenham Hotspur midfielder was removed from the presenting team at BBC’s Match Of The Day and The One Show following alleged issues relating to workplace misconduct.

Before Jermaine was sack3d in August, he had been a regular pundit on sports programmes and a presenter on BBC Radio 5 Live. Alex has since revealed she had no idea about the complaints until he was sack3d.

In a new interview with the Big Issue, Alex said : “I very much take people on face value. But with JJ [Jenas] I didn’t know what was going on.

“I had no idea. I thought he was taking extended leave.

“The BBC didn’t share with me what was going on until they actually dealt with it. And, you know, they did what they thought was right.

“If that was my daughter and she felt unc0mf0rtable with someone’s behav1our, I hope that whatever company she was working for would deal with it swiftly as well.”

Jermaine issued an apology after he was axed, saying he had done “nothing ill3gal” and that “inappropriate messages” sent were “between two consenting adults”.

Months later, his wife, Ellie Penfold, announced the couple had spl1t up after 16 years together.

Taking to Instagram, she penned: “I never imagined I would have to share something so personal with the public, but given the situation, I feel it’s necessary.

“After 16 years together and 4 wonderful children, Jermaine and I have decided to part ways.

“We will remain friends and continue to co-parent.”

BBC radio presenter Gerry Kersey has d13d aged 86, his wife has confirmed. The BBC Radio Sheffield presenter was on air for both the BBC and independent radio for 50 years, and was a favourite with listeners.

Kersey d13d on Friday July 25 after battling a l0ng illn3ss which hasn’t been disclosed, with his wife Christine by his side. Paying tribute, Katrina Bunker, Head of BBC Yorkshire, said: “Gerry was a true legend of local broadcasting, starting his career in 1968 as one of the first voices on BBC Radio Sheffield.”

She continued: “In later years he was known for request-based and nostalgia shows and he got loads of letters, emails and calls right up to his last show in 2020. Wherever you went around the area you would always meet someone who loved Gerry’s show. Off-mic, Gerry was just as much of a gentleman as he was on it, always encouraging , always warm and proud to still be on the radio after 50 years. He will be sadly missed by all who knew him.”

BBC Radio Sheffield shared their own statement on social media, penning: “We have some sad news to share. Former BBC Radio Sheffield presenter Gerry Kersey has passed away. Gerry was an enduring voice on BBC Radio Sheffield for many years, and Radio Hallam before that. He was such a gifted presenter and a wonderfully kind and supportive colleague off-air. He was also a talented artist. Our thoughts are with his friends and family.”

He began his career for BBC Sheffield in 1968, as he was called in to read stories, which led to him getting his own show in the early 1970s. He then made the switch to Radio Hallam in 1980 as he took over Bill Crozier’s request programme, before replacing broadcasting legend Roger Moffat on the weekday mid-morning show a year later.

 

He retired when the Cv1d pand3mic began in 2020 when BBC local radio stations switched to standardised schedules so they ciuld share output.

At the time, he told The Sheffield Star: “It’s not been said to me that it’s my last show. As far as I’m aware it’s a temporary arrangement. They’ve got to cut down, inevitably brought about by the coronavirus. They’ve changed the system just for now.”

He spent his last days with his wife Christine, painting pictures, with many of them showing different departments in a steel works.

John Torode’s wife Lisa Faulkner has spoken out for the firs time since her husband’s sacking from MasterChef. Earlier this monght it was announced that the Australian chef’s contract on the BBC culinary show would not be renewed following a historic all3gation of rac1sm on the show.

On Monday (July 28) his supportive wife took to her Instagram Stories to share her thoughts on his removal. The actress told fans: “Hi there, I just wanted to check in and say hello. I’m here and just thank you for all your lovely comments because they really, really mean a lot. So thank you.”

 

The actress issued an update to her loyal legion of fans on Instagram (Image: Instagram)

Faulkner, 53, tied the knot with the beloved cook, 60, back in 2019. This is the second marriage for both stars, with the ex-Holby City star previously married to Chris Coghill – who was known for his role as Tony King in EastEnders. The actors also share an adopted daughter together named Billie.

Torode’s former spouse is a woman named Jessica, and together the pair share two children. The former MasterChef star is also the father of two older children from a previous relationship. Faulkner and Torode fist locked eyes when Lisa competed on Celebrity MasterChef back in 2010.

The couple immediately sparked a friendship which remained after wrapping up filming later, but Lida insisted that there was no initial romantic spark. She recalled “He was a judge on a show I loved and I was petrified of him. He was brilliant and gave us all tips so you didn’t want to let him down.

“All I could think was, ‘That sauce hasn’t worked’. I didn’t see anything but food for three months. After I won, we did The Good Food Show and stuff. John and I always got on, but I never thought about me and him.”

But their friendship soon blossomed into romance, with the pair later making a name for themselves as a power couple in culinary TV. The actress’s update comed after the BBC and the production company Banijay UK confirmed that Torode’s contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.

The TV chef confirmed that he was the subject of an all3gation of using rac1st language that was upheld as part of a review carried out by the law firl Lewis Silkin into the alleged behaviour of his co-host Gregg Wallace.

A statement from Banijay UK said: “In response to John Torode’s statement, it is important to stress that Banijay UK takes this matter incredibly seriously. The legal team at Lewis Silkin that investigated the all3gations relating to Gregg Wallace also substantiated an accusation of highly off3nsive rac1st language against John Torode which occured in 2018.

“This matter has been formally discussed with John Torode by Banijay Uk, and whilst we note that John says he does not recall the incident, Lewis Silkin have upheld the very serious complaint. Banijay UK and the BBC are agreed that we will not renew his contract on MasterChef.”

The Lewis Silkin report, which was commissioned by Banijay UK, substantiated 45 of the 83 all3gations against Wallace, alongside two standalone all3gations made against other people, including one for using rac1st language. Torode confirmed that he was the person who was alleged to have used the rac1st language but insisted he had “no recollection of the incident” and was “shocked and saddened” by the allegaiton.

A BBC spokesperson said: “John Torode has identified himself as having an upheld all3gation of using rac1st language against him. This all3gation – which involves an extremely off3nsive rac1st term being used in the workplace – was investigated and substantiated by the independented investigation led by the law firm, Lewis Silkin. John Torode denies the all3gation.

“He has stated he has no recollection of the alleged incident and does not believe that it happened. He also says that any racial langauge is wholly unacceptable in any environment. The BBC takes this upheld finding extremely seriously.

“We will not tolerate rac1st language of any kind and, as we have already said, we told Banijay UK, the makers of MasterChef, that action must be taken. John Torode’s contract on MasterChef will not be renewed.”

Despite his departure from the cooking show, he remains on the airwaves with Lisa on their own TV show. A source close to ITV confirmed to the Mirror their schedules for John and Lisa’s Weekend Kitchen “remain unchanged” despite John’s ax3 from MasterChef.

SH0CK: Gogglebox star Daniel Lustig-Webb makes a RETURN – Reveals he’s DΛTING other people BUT still Living with his Ex after Div0rce, Sparking Fierce debate among Viewers!

A former Gogglebox star is set to feature on Channel 4‘s First Dates – marking his first TV appearance since his ‘d3vastat1ng’ divorce from his co-star.

A favourite of viewers at home, Daniel Lustig-Webb is best known for roaring at the TV screen with his best friend and ex-husband Stephen Lustig-Webb.

But after the couple split in April last year, freshly single Daniel has appeared in the opening credits of the newest series of First Dates.

Daniel, 50, and Stephen, 54, were married for six years. Speaking on the Suddenly Single podcast, Daniel called the split ‘d3vastat1ng’ and ‘tr@umat1c’.

To make matters worse, the pair are still living under one roof, which makes dating difficult, Daniel says.

He told the Mirror that the living situation makes his love life ‘complicated’, adding: ‘If I’m going on a date, I’m a bit sheepish about it.

‘I’ll say I’m going to meet a friend but Stephen can just read me. He’ll say, “Don’t wear that.”

‘I can’t bring anyone to the house so it’s a little bit different – but we make it work.’

But reality star Daniel will soon be making a very public return to dating and relationships.

First Dates, which has been running for more than ten years, sees ordinary people head on blind dates at a restaurant run by French maitre d’hotel and host Fred Siriex.

Daniel added of his upcoming appearance: ‘I did do something to do with dating that’s coming out next year, but I can’t talk about that.’

Hairdresser Daniel is following in the footsteps of his ex Stephen, who appeared on the most recent series of Celebs Go Dating.

Also a hairdresser by trade, Stephen took part in the show with Love Island’s Chris Taylor, Corrie star Helen Flanagan, MAFS star Ella Morgan, singer Jamelia, influencer Lauryn Goodman and Made In Chelsea’s Tristan Phipps.

In January this year, Daniel revealed he and Stephen were still living together – then nine months after they announced their marriage split.

‘We’ve found a way to work together, live together and be dog dads. It’s always been about friendship.

‘As soon as we started dating, I said, ‘this guy is so different to me’ but we got on so well, even though we came from completely different backgrounds.’

Talking about their split, he added: ‘It was d3vastat1ng. For me, it was tr@umat1c and although I knew things weren’t great, I didn’t see it coming.

‘It was quite a slow process because we were completely entwined for so long, with our businesses, the dogs, we were so close in everything we did.

‘There was nothing underhand happening, no-one had slept with anyone else. Stephen was the complete opposite to me, and we’d say opposites attracted, but fundamentally, that was our problem in the end.’

Confirming he was back on the market, Daniel said: ‘Once I got over the shock, in the summer I was going on date after date with all these different types of people, I was on apps all the time, and now I realise I was trying to fill a void.

‘Friends took me aside to ask if I was okay. Now I’m happy being single. I love going on dates but I don’t need a long-term relationship, I need to repair myself a little and learn who I am again.

‘The first guy I dated (after Stephen), I went on about six dates with him in London. He was very nice, he knew my situation and it was teenage dating, n0thing s3xual at all, we’d go somewhere really nice and have a sn0g in the end.

‘He did end it, I think he realised I wasn’t in the right frame of mind.’

Stephen an Daniel are still on good terms, with the pair both running their hair salon together.

At the time of their split, Daniel said: ‘We’ve made the decision with a very heavy heart to confirm our marriage has come to an end.

‘I’m sure we will forever be friends.’

Ellie Costello of GB News Breakfast BREAKS DOWN in Tears at SECOND WEDDING – Fairytale moments and a sacred, Special Ritual leave guests Emotional!

GB News breakfast presenter Ellie Costello has a joyful bulletin to report.

As Eamonn Holmes‘s co-host has said ‘I Do’ for a second time to her partner Gerard Durkan in an intimate ceremony at Chateau de Robernier, a 16th-century French castle in Provence.

The couple, who have been together for seven years, after first meeting at university, held a civil ceremony earlier this year in Chelsea’s Old Town Hall in London.

Ellie, 31, tells me: ‘We definitely felt like this was our real wedding. We got married in a church, we exchanged rings, and we literally “tied the knot,” which is an ancient Celtic tradition of having the priest tie a knot over your hands to represent your lives being bound together.’

She adds: ‘We’re going to celebrate our anniversary on 12th July, which is our French wedding date.’

Meanwhile, the fairytale-like venue, which locals call the ‘sleeping beauty castle’, hosted three days of celebrations for the newlyweds, including a free-flowing rose pool party.

The couple also honoured their Irish heritage with an Irish band and an open mic session on the Sunday evening.

Among the guests was her GB News co-presenter Stephen Dixon, with whom she hosts the breakfast show, which recently won a TRIC award for best news programme, on Thursdays and Fridays.

‘It was the wedding of our dreams,’ says Ellie. ‘The atmosphere was electric and our guests told us they thought they were in a film.

‘It’s everything we could have possibly hoped for.’

While Ellie opted to wear a long-sleeved, buttoned, white mini dress for her civil ceremony, this time around she chose a traditional design by Allure Bridals and Jimmy for her nuptials in the South of France.

She says of the design: ‘I saw it online and I knew it was the one because I had such a strong vision of what I wanted my wedding dress to look like.

‘I’m very impulsive, and the ladies in the dress shop kept encouraging me to try on other dresses, but I just knew that it was my dress.

‘I had it customised to make the straps removable, I also chose to add a large hoop in the skirt and a cathedral length train.

‘I wanted my dress to look timeless and regal, but also glamorous. Hopefully I managed to achieve that.’

The final touches of glamour came from jeweller Neil Duttson, who supplied the Bride’s wedding jewellery.

‘He lent me a 25-carat necklace and 2-carat earrings which absolutely made the dress,’ reveals Ellie.

The news star admits she put herself on a gruelling physical regime to be in the best shape possible for her big day.

‘In terms of prep for the wedding, I had a series of NeoGen treatments with Ayla Aesthetics to help with my acne scarring and pigmentation and used skin boosters and polynucleotides.

‘I started Zero Gravity reformer Pilates straight after getting engaged, and over the past 18 months, it has transformed my body and leaned me out.

‘It’s the only exercise I’ve ever enjoyed, and I find the classes are such a good way to switch off from the stresses of the newsroom.

She adds: ‘Gerard and I both got composite bonding done at Smiles and Smiles to get our smiles wedding-ready.’

Indeed, she admits the newlyweds are still smiling and are on ‘cloud nine’ following their French ceremony and says: ‘We can’t wait for the next chapter in our lives together’
