Susanna Reid GRILLS Richard Arnold live on Good Morning Britain – His answer for disappearing leaves viewers doubting: “I actually finished a book” instead of “finding answers at the bottom of a glass.” Susanna Reid & GMB fans: “REALLY?”

A Good Morning Britain star revealed the truth behind their absence as they were grilled by Susanna Reid on Wednesday’s instalment of the ITV show.

Susanna, 54, and Martin Lewis, 53, returned to our screens for the latest episode of the breakfast programme.

And they were joined by the show’s Entertainment Editor Richard Arnold, 55.

Susanna was quick to point out that he had been missing for a while.

After the adverts wrapped up, and they returned to the show, Martin told viewers: ‘Richard Arnold is here and a Hollywood actor has a new role behind the scenes…’

Susanna chimed in: ‘Welcome back by the way! Where have you been?!’

Richard replied: ‘A cheeky little tour Stateside to stay with some friends.

‘Lowkey, non-fuss, in the middle of Connecticut.’

‘Very good,’ Susanna said.

Richard confessed: ‘Yeah I actually read a book! I couldn’t believe it. Got to the very end! Got to the very end.’

‘Was it worth it?!’ Susanna asked.

Richard said: ‘Yes normally when I go away on holiday, the answers are all at the bottom of a glass, but actually sobered up enough to read a book!’

The editor joined the show in 2014 and was previously the showbiz editor at ITV’s Daybreak.

It comes after Susanna left fans ‘surprised and confused’ as she made a return to the BBC 11 years after quitting the channel’s Breakfast show.

Over the years Susanna has had a very successful career in the journalism industry, having worked for a number of the main broadcasters in the UK.

The 54-year-old is arguably best known for currently presenting ITV‘s Good Morning Britain, after taking on the role in 2014.

But some may have forgotten that she also used to work for one of ITV’s rival channels.

Susanna presented BBC Breakfast alongside Bill Turnbull, 66, and Charlie Stayt, 63, between 2001 and 2014.

And on Sunday she returned to take part in a panel with Laura Kuenssberg, 48.

Susanna shared as snap of the day on Instagram and captioned the post: ‘SUNDAY! Always fantastic to be on @bbclaurak back at the BBC, this morning with @danielkebede and James Harding @theobserveruk @oversnap

‘Back @gmb tomorrow!’

Many rushed to the comments section to share how much they loved her being back on our screens on a Sunday – as she usually presents GMB Monday to Wednesdays, as well as an alternative Thursday between 6am and 9am.

‘Nice one…’

‘Yes I watched it just because you was on it.’

‘A nice surprise this morning! Usually guests are a bit boring!’

Coronation Street fans left Open-Mouthed discovering the Real-Life LINK between Sue Jenkins (Gloria Todd, 1985–1988) and Richard Fleeshman (Craig Harris, 2002–2006) – But Wait, the real sh0cker came in 2002!

Stunned Coronation Street fans had their minds blown after realising that two stars are actually related in real life.

Sue Jenkins, who played Gloria Todd, and Craig Harris actor Richard Fleeshman are mother and son.

Sue took on the role of Gloria in 1985 and played the barmaid until 1988.

The soap star‘s character had relationships with Alan Bradley (Mark Eden) and Mike Baldwin (Johnny Briggs).

Meanwhile Richard appeared on the Cobbles as his alter-ego Craig in 2002.

He played the role of son of Tommy and Angela Harris until 2006 and left when he was just 16 years old.

Meanwhile Richard Fleeshman played Craig Harris on the Cobbles between 2002 and 2006

His character was involved in a number of storylines, with one major one including actress Helen Flanagan, who played his love interest Rosie Webster.

The youngster decided to move away from Coronation Street and travel to Berlin by himself, despite it originally involving Rosie.

Sue is proud mum to Richard, Rosie and Emily, who she shares with her husband David. The couple tied the knot in 1978.

After Corrie, Sue appeared in a number of other TV shows.

These include Coasting, In Suspicious Circumstances, Brookside, Holby City, Emmerdale, Heartbeat and Home from Home.

More recently she appeared in It’s a Sin, The Responder and The Good Ship Murder.

The star has also been theatre shows including The People are Friendly.

Meanwhile Richard is still in the showbiz industry too.

After Coronation Street, he took on roles in Blue Murder, Monday Monday, Midsomer Murders, Call the Midwife, The Sandman and Death in Paradise.

He’s not only great at acting, but also has an amazing singing voice.

Richard has released a number of singles and an album called Neon.

His career isn’t the only thing that has been thriving.

Richard got engaged to his singer girlfriend Celinde Schoenmaker in 2022.

The pair welcomed their daughter in November 2024.

The Fleeshman family are certainly all huge stars in their own right.

BREAKING: ITV Confirms Season 2 of Cɾime Drama Code Of Silence – BUT the cancellation of Grantchester sparks controversy!

ITV has finally confirmed the fate of Code Of Silence after its booming ratings as lead star Rose Ayling Ellis penned an emotional statement to viewers.

The cr1me dr@ma, which stars the former EastEnders actress, burst onto screens earlier this year to much fanfare.

It saw Rose, 30, play deaf worker Alison Woods, who works in both a police canteen and a local bar while caring for her deaf mother to make ends meet.

Woods then becomes key to a police investigation when she translates a cr1minal g@ng’s c0nversations as she finds herself drawn to one of the main suspects.

Kieron Moore, Charlotte Ritchie, Andrew Buchan, Nathan Armarkwei Laryea, Joe Absolom, and Fifi Garfield also starred in the first series.

Following a nail-biting finale, ITV has confirmed that Code Of Silence will return for a second series.

The broadcaster also revealed a whopping 7.5 million viewers tuning into the first episode alone on TV, while over 20 million streams have been recorded across the full box set on ITVX.

In an emotional statement to fans, Rose confirmed she will reprise her role, writing: ‘I’m so proud that Code of Silence has been recommissioned.

‘The response to the first series has been incredible, and it means so much to be part of a drama that not only keeps audiences on the edge of their seats, but also puts a Deaf character at the heart of the story.

‘I’m really excited to see where Alison’s journey goes next and to be working again with the wonderful cast, crew and creative team behind the show.’

Development on the second series has kicked off, with ITV planning to begin filming next year, meaning fans will have a lengthy wait before they can enjoy new episodes.

ITV’S drama commissioner, Callum Dziedzic said: ‘We are unbelievably proud of Code of Silence, and it’s been a joy seeing audiences embrace it – especially their love for the skilful, headstrong, and effortlessly loveable Alison.

‘Rose brings her to life with real charm and depth, and Catherine’s brilliant concept gave her the perfect world to step into. We can’t wait to share another gripping case, with Alison’s talents and perspective delivering a thr1ller that’s pulse-pounding, distinctive, and like nothing else on TV.’

Code Of Silence’s renewal comes just a day after ITV announced Grantchester has been axed after a whopping 11 series on air.

Confirming the show’s end, Daisy Coulam, writer, series creator and executive producer, said: ‘At its heart, Grantchester is a show about the power of friendship and love.

‘We’ve been so lucky over the last 11 series to experience that on and off screen. For over a decade now – cast and crew (many who’ve been there since the beginning) have met each Summer to film.

‘And it’s been an absolute joy. Thank you to James Runcie for entrusting us with his characters. Thank you to the lovely people of real Grantchester.

‘Thank you to everyone who’s been a part of the show in any way – big or small. I’ll miss you terribly.’

Ben Hardy – former EastEnders star – finds “new light” with Emilia Jones, but will this romance last or end like with Jessica Plummer?

Ben Hardy couldn’t keep his hands off nepo-baby actress Emilia Jones as the pair confirmed their romance at BST Hyde Park over the weekend.

The former EastEnders star, 34, who played Peter Beale from 2013 until 2015, packed on the PDA with the CODA actress, 23, over the weekend.

Ben and Emilia, the daughter of singer Aled Jones, were spotted together at American Express presents BST in Hyde Park where Sabrina Carpenter was headlining on Sunday.

Ben, who also starred as Queen’s drummer Roger Taylor in Bohemian Rhapsody, was all over the actress, pass10nately k1ssing and holding her as they queued for drinks in the VIP garden.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Ben c0uldn’t k33p his h@nds 0ff her and was trying to kiss her at almost any opportunity.

Emilia looked stylish as she stepped out in a black racer neck cropped top with low-rise bootleg jeans and a gold Gucci belt, as well as a pair of chunky boots.

Meanwhile Ben kept it casual in a pair of knee-length denim shorts, a red tartan shirt and Converse trainers.

The new romance comes over two years after he parted ways from his fellow EastEnders ex Jessica Plummer after going public with their relationship back in 2021.

The former soap actors were said to have fallen victim to busy work schedules, leading to them ‘growing apart’.

According to The Mirror, sources close to Ben and Jessica claimed at the time that the pair had been too busy to keep the relationship afloat.

One insider shared: ‘Ben and Jessica were besotted with each other but work has meant they spent a lot of time apart.’

‘Over time it’s taken its toll and recently they decided to call it a day,’ they continued.

The split came after it appeared they were still going strong in the summer of 2022 when they celebrated Ben’s 31st birthday six months late with a holiday to Turkey.

Ben and Jessica are both EastEnders alumni, with the latter portraying Chantelle Atkins from 2019 until 2022.

The couple then starred alongside one another for four-part BBC drama The Girl Before, growing close as they portrayed on-screen couple Simon and Emma.

After months of circulating rumours, they confirmed the romance shortly after appearing in the drama with a PDA display in central London.

Embracing one another near a taxi after a night with pals at Soho House, the couple were snapped looking ultra cosy.

Ben and Jessica’s relationship came shortly after it was reported that he had split from his ex-girlfriend Olivia Cooke earlier that year, with sources claiming at the time their romance ‘fizzled out.’

After saying goodbye to Albert Square, Ben has bagged numerous roles in films and shows including Mary Shelley, Only The Brave, 6 Underground and The Woman In White.

His soap character Peter had a tumultuous time in Albert Square in the last couple of years, most notably with his sister Lucy being mrd3red by their brother Bobby.

Peter left the Square for a new life in New Zealand, with his ex Lauren Branning eventually joining him with their son Louie.

Ben then went on to star in Hollywood films such as Bohemian Rhapsody and X-Men: Apocalypse.

Bohemian Rhapsody won four of the five Academy Awards it was nominated for. The film also grossed more than $900million worldwide.

TEARS ON SET: Buyer sh0cked by ‘Nightmare Project’ on A Place in the Sun!

A ‘daunted’ A Place in the Sun buyer broke down in tears after host Ben Hillman t00k things ‘t00 far’ during a property tour on a previous episode of the Channel 4 show.

The instalment, which originally aired on 1 May 2023, saw credit manager Candy and construction worker Mark ask for Ben’s help to find them the dream home in Almería, Spain, for just £75k.

The pair, from Kent, explained that they wanted a three-bed with views and traditional features.

And Mark even confessed that he ‘wanted something to do’ and was keen on the idea of building himself a swimming pool.

That meant that they wouldn’t be put off if the perfect property needed a little TLC.

So taking that into account, Ben took them to a 1940s village property in Rambla de Oria.

‘They did ask for a project, and this is a big one!’ Ben confessed, just before showing off the home to viewers.

Despite the fact that their initial reaction was quite positive, it soon fell flat when they stood inside realising that there was actually a lot more work that needed to be done than they originally thought.

Standing in the dining space, Candy confessed: ‘I’m just not feeling this at all.’

Ben replied: ‘I understood you incorrectly. I know you said a project is fine and the fact you are a builder as well.

‘Have I run away with that?’

‘I’m finding that a little bit more daunting, the level of renovations so maybe we’ve not made it entirely clear?,’ Candy pointed out.

‘One of two rooms need a project, but this to me is quite daunting.’

‘Is this a flat no?’ Ben asked.

‘This is all about finding you the right place.’

However in a happy turn of events, when the couple viewed the third house, Mark becoming visibly moved.

Witnessing Candy’s enthusiasm for the property, Mark couldn’t help but reveal his sentiment, saying: ‘I’m getting emotional now! It’s lovely.’

Ultimately, Mark and Candy decided on a bid of £76,250 for their chosen home.

Ben had to liaise with the estate agent about whether furniture could be included in the offer, but later delivered the good news that the offer had been accepted, sparking tears of happiness from the couple.

Last month a squirming Ben was left ‘shocked’ after a couple walked out of a property tour with a cutting six-word swipe.

Ian and Emily, who share three kids, had a budget of £440k and were very interested to buy in the town of Pollença, which is in east Mallorca.

Ian and Emily explained that they need three bedrooms, space for a car and potentially a communal pool.

Unlucky for Ben, the first two properties didn’t tick all their boxes, so the interior designer took them to a £358k four-bedroom townhouse in Old Town Pollensa.

At first glance, Emily described it as ‘lovely’ and ‘gorgeous’.

Despite the positive start, it soon fell flat as Ian said it had ‘baked in character’, Emily brutally confessed: ‘It’s not doing it for me.’

Jesse Watters (Fox News): Talented but Troubled – 2 Scandals that Rocked his career!

Man, oh man!Charles Sykes/AP

Get your news from a source that’s not owned and controlled by oligarchs. Sign up for the free Mother Jones Daily.

The idea that women might vote differently from their husbands made Fox News star Jesse Watters’ brain melt live on air this week.

Referring to his current wife, Watters, with his trademark smirk, told his colleagues on The Five, “If I found out Emma was going into the voting booth and pulling the lever for Harris, that’s the same thing as having an aff@1r.” This, from a man who admitted to his employer in 2017 that he was in a relati0nship with a c0lleague 14 y3ars his juni0r—something that reportedly led to his divorce from his first wife. “What else is she keeping from me?” Jesse mused, prompting guffaws from his fellow panelists.

Beyond hypocrisy, Mother Jones creator Kat Abughazaleh argues that Watters’ reaction reveals the fierce undercurrent of s3xist r3sentment coursing through this year’s campaign, typified by Donald Trump, who just this week ominously vowed to protect women, “wh3ther the w0men l1ke it or n0t.”Dear Jesse Watters: Why would your wife be afraid to tell you what she really thinks?

It’s an issue that Democrats and their anti-Trump allies have been eager to highlight, including former congresswoman and top Harris campaigner Liz Cheney, who told CBS’ Face the Nation on Wednesday, “I think you’re going to have, frankly, a lot of men and women who will go into the voting booth and will vote their conscience, will vote for Vice President Harris.”

“They may not ever say anything publicly,” she added, “but the results will speak for themselves.”

Michelle Obama also seized on this dynamic. “Just remember that your vote is a private matter,” she told a Michigan rally last weekend.

Soon, that private decision could have very public ramifications—for the entire country.

Once again, Jesse vs. Jessica: Their biggest-ever on-air clash sh0cks viewers and reveals Fox News’ internal truth?

Jesse Watters returned to The Five on Monday, July 7, and was hit with criticism from cohost Jessica Tarlov, who called him out for his reaction to the recent floods in Texas, which have left over 100 people d3ad.

The conversation began with Watters insisting, “This climate change thing is a religion to these people because they believe that weather is punishing us for being a rich and successful and prosperous nation, and all they need to do to appease the rain gods is have everybody use their sacred things like solar panels, stupid cars, and windmills, and that’s what’s gonna save lives. And then you have people that blame it on Donald Tr::mp.”

Tarlov then jumped in and pointed out Watters’ hypocrisy, referencing the different way he reacted when Hurricane Helene hit under Joe Bi::de::n‘s administration. Specifically, she slammed Watters for not calling out the now-president when he spread lies about FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) funds during the September 2024 tragedy.

“I don’t think talking about preparedness or what might have helped qualifies as impugning the memory of those that have been lost or detracting from the thoughtful conversation that needs to take place,” Tarlov said. “This river has been flooding for a very long time. There are a number of instances. And we were here around the table when Hurricane Helene struck, and I did not hear Jesse Watters say that Donald Tr::mp should stop spr3ading l13s about the Bi::d::en administration and spreading of FEMA funds.”

She continued, “Tr::mp came out and said, ‘They’re giving your dollars to 1ll3gals, they’re housing them with your FEMA dollars.’ Then he said, ‘You’re only going to get $750 from FEMA,’ which was a complete lie, and there are Republican officials who have testified to the fact that people did not get their FEMA assistance because of what Tr::mp or other Republicans were saying.”

Tarlov also pointed out that “there are over $54 billion in identified needs in terms of disaster resistance when it comes to these kind of flash floods that state officials are asking for, and the GOP legislature has rejected them. That is something they can work on to move forward and hopefully avoid a tragedy like this again.”

DOUBLE SH0CK: Repeatedly calling Ben Shelton’s girlfriend Trinity by the wrong name AND “digging up” her painful relationship with her father – Commentator Andrew Castle forced BBC to Issue an APOLOGY!

Wimbledon semi-finalist Ben Shelton’s football star girlfriend has won an apology after BBC commentator Andrew Castle repeatedly got her name wrong on-air.

Trinity Rodman hit out online after the tennis pundit wrongly referred to her as ‘Tiffany’ as well as mentioning her estranged father, NBA legend Dennis Rodman.

Now the BBC has said sorry on behalf of Castle, who twice competed at Wimbledon during his playing days in the 1980s, for ‘mispronouncing’ her name during this fortnight’s coverage from the All-England Club in south-west London.

Rodman and Shelton have been hailed as a new sporting ‘power couple’ during his run to the quarter-finals of the men’s singles, ahead of a showdown with world number one Jannik Sinner on Court One scheduled for later on Wednesday.

US star Shelton, seeded number ten, is going out with Trinity, who has won 47 caps for the USA women’s soccer team while also playing for Washington Spirit.

The 23-year-old star used her Instagram account to criticise former GMTV presenter and Strictly Come Dancing contestant Castle, 61, over his latest Wimbledon coverage in which she was called ‘Tiffany’ and mentioned as Dennis Rodman’s daughter.

Trinity has previously stated how strained her relationship is with her father, an NBA Hall of Famer who became known for living an outlandish, womanising lifestyle.

Dennis divorced from Trinity’s mother Michelle Moyer in 2012 and went long periods without speaking to his daughter.

Trinity Rodman posted on Instagram following mentions on-air by BBC pundit Andrew Castle

Trinity said last year that she does not even have his number saved on her phone, but she fields his occasional calls.

She told the podcast named Call Her Daddy: ‘I answer the phone now for my conscience, to be like, he needed to hear my voice before anything else happens.

‘That’s why I answer the phone, not for me. He’s not a dad. Maybe by bl00d, but nothing else.’

Yet the family connection has come up various times during the BBC’s broadcasts as she cheers on her boyfriend Shelton during his successful run so far.

She has posted on Instagram in response: ‘For those who don’t know, my name is TRINITY not Tiffany.

‘Also, for Ben’s matches he has his family there as a support system, which includes his dad.

‘My dad is not even in MY life, no need to bring him up during HIS matches when I don’t even want him talked about during mine. It’s him and his loved ones’ moment. Thank you.’

Her message has received online support from fans – and now the BBC has responded to the backlash.

He had been heard to say during coverage of Shelton’s previous play, when cameras focused on Trinity: ‘Her father is Dennis Rodman, who’s one of the greatest sportsmen of all time in my opinion.

‘The greatest rebounder in NBA history and the biggest wind-up merchant of all time.’

Internet critics have accused him of committing a ‘micro-aggression’ and showing a ‘lack of care’ for Trinity.

A BBC spokesman has now said on Castle’s behalf: ‘Andrew apologises for mispronouncing Trinity Rodman’s name during the Ben Shelton vs. Lorenzo Sonego match.’

Mel B made her way down the aisle for a third time last weekend as she tied the knot with celebrity hairdresser Rory McPhee at the historic St. Paul’s Cathedral.

The Spice Girl said ‘I do’ during a lavish ceremony following previous marriages to Jimmy Gulzar from 1998 to 2000 and Stephen Belafonte from 2007 to 2017.

Mel first walked down the aisle at St John the Baptist Church in Little Marlow, Buckinghamshire, before celebrating in the marquee at her former manor house.

For her second wedding, the singer kept it even more low-key jetting to Las Vegas, where she exchanged vows with Stephen at the Special Memory Wedding Chapel in a $59 ceremony.

Scary Spice and Stephen later had a vow renewal at the Jaz Makadi Golf Hotel in Madinat Makadi, Egypt with a larger guest list.

So for her third wedding, why did Mel choose one of the most iconic and exclusive London landmarks, which was also the location of King Charles‘ wedding with his first wife Princess Diana?

Mel chose one of the most iconic and exclusive London landmarks, where very few are permitted to tie the knot at, for her third wedding as it is only available for those with an MBE

Mel was every inch the blushing bride in a gorgeous Josephine Scott pearl-adorned white gown as she arrived at the OBE Chapel, also known as St. Faith’s Chapel, located in the crypt for the ceremony.

The exclusive cathedral, where very few are permitted to tie the knot at, is only available for those with MBE’s to use as a wedding venue.

And Mel made the list thanks to her MBE in 2022 for her services to charitable causes and vulnerable women. She became a Women’s Aid patron in 2018 after speaking out about her own experience with domestic abuse.

Mel’s MBE also grants her permission to baptise her three children Phoenix, 26, Angel, 18, and Madison, 13, in the church, accessed via the side of St. Paul’s.

After saying ‘I do’ with Rory, the newlyweds stepped out of the cathedral with Mel flashing her radiant smile after becoming the new Mrs McPhee.

The newlyweds appeared blissfully happy and shared a sweet kiss for the gathered crowds as they joined their friends and family in leaving the historic venue after exchanging their vows.

Scary Spice ditched her famous leopard print and opted for a traditional white wedding at the cathedral which will be followed by a lavish £28,000 post nuptial celebration at The Shard.

Mel’s gown featured a sheer illusion design adorned with white pearls and a ruched bodice, with the singer adding a flowing veil to her bridal look.

Meanwhile, groom Rory, 37, opted for traditional Scottish attire complete with a red and green tartan kilt.

Emma Bunton, the only other Spice Girl in attendance – led the celebrity guests in leaving the venue after watching Mel walk down the aisle for the third time.

While fellow spices Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell and Melanie Chisholm were absent on the big day – Emma ensured she was there to support her friend.

Also in attendance was Mel’s sister Danielle Brown, Daisy Lowe, Katherine Ryan and Gaby Roslin – who were dressed to impress for the ceremony.

Emma echoed her Baby Spice days as she earlier arrived for the wedding, donning a baby pink mini dress worn with platform heels and a matching fascinator.

She was accompanied by husband Jade Jones and their son Beau, 17, with both men looking dapper as they joined Emma for the ceremony.

Meanwhile, Mel’s children Phoenix Chi, Madison and Angel Iris were all smiles as they arrived to see their mother walk down the aisle.

Phoenix, 26, looked lovely in a blue silk dress and coordinating fascinator, and was accompanied by partner AJ Anderson.

Sibling Angel, 18, who now identifies as a male, looked smart in a black suit, while sister Madison, 13, caught the eye in a bright pink dress and matching head piece.
