SH0CKING & SAD: The H0rrific ACC1D3NT that left Fox News Host BL1ND in 1 Eye!

During her high school years, Abby was hit hard in the face by a volleyball, leading to a severe retinal detachment in her right eye. Despite undergoing two surgeries, doctors were unable to save her vision, leaving her permanently blind in that eye.

Rather than letting tragedy define her, Abby transformed this painful turning point into a new path. She embraced broadcast journalism, drawing on her natural charisma and love for sports to build a thriving career. Today, she is a popular host on Fox Nation, known for shows like PARK’D and Ride to Work, where she combines her adventurous spirit with storytelling.

Beyond her on-screen success, Abby has become an advocate for sports safety and resilience, openly sharing her experience to inspire others facing unexpected setbacks. Her use of a green-tinted contact lens helps mask the injury, but her story remains a powerful reminder of how courage and adaptability can turn personal loss into a source of strength.

Abby Hornacek’s journey is more than a story of recovery — it’s about reinvention, perseverance, and finding purpose after heartbreak. Through candid interviews and social media, she shows that even life’s harshest blows can become the start of something extraordinary.

“My father lived a meaningful life”– Fox News Host Abby Hornacek moved to tears as she honors her legendary dad Jeff Hornacek!

“My dad is the most dedicated person I’ve ever met, and truly my biggest inspiration,” said 22-year-old Abby Hornacek, sports journalist in Chicago. Growing up, she watched him pour everything into coaching — after each game, he’d come home and watch it twice. “That’s what makes him really great,” she added.

Jeff Hornacek, former NBA player, is set to lead his first Knicks training camp. Abby believes his playing experience helps him connect deeply with players: “He has a great basketball mind and sees the whole court.”

Hornacek’s interview with Knicks president Phil Jackson happened coincidentally when Jeff was in LA for Abby’s USC graduation. “I was super excited but didn’t want to get my hopes up too high,” Abby recalled.

Graduating cum laude in journalism, Abby had worked with FOX Sports San Diego, FOX Sports Arizona, and the NBA Summer League site before joining digital network 120 Sports. She even requested time off to attend the Knicks’ home opener.

Hornacek expressed pride in his daughter: “She sacrificed a lot and worked hard to achieve her goals. We’re so proud.” He showed this devotion by personally driving a 30-hour cargo van from Phoenix to Chicago to help Abby settle in.

“I’m a very lucky daughter,” Abby said softly, her voice full of gratitude.

Top Model quit at her peak? The surprising truth about Fox News host Carley Shimkus!

Carley Shimkus, co-host of Fox & Friends First, once tried modeling thanks to her 5’10” height, but decided to quit and follow her true passion for TV journalism. She grew up in New Jersey with her supportive parents, surrounded by nature.

Before becoming a morning show anchor, Carley worked as an intern, a production assistant, and then associate producer. She met her husband, Peter Buchignani, on her 23rd birthday, and they married in 2015. Despite living apart (New York – Chicago), they kept their love strong and welcomed their son Brock in 2023.

Known at work as “The Foodie,” Carley joined Fox’s cooking segment “Cooking with Friends” and even published a cookbook with recipes from herself and colleagues. Balancing early work hours and family, Carley shared: “I thank God every day for allowing me to now work on the very show I used to watch as a kid.“

Her journey shows how she quit modeling and embraced broadcast journalism, proving that following your heart can lead to unexpected blessings.

April 14 marked the one-year anniversary of her mother-in-law Dee’s **d3ath**, following her father-in-law Mickey’s passing.
“This week felt like survival mode. On the anniversary, I fell apart. I cried all day,” she shared.

 

Her husband Sean still reaches for his phone to call his mom. Dee’s last wish was: “Write my name on some gifts for the kids.”

After fighting for accountability for Dee’s **d3ath**, Janice felt like giving up: “I wanted to stop screaming. I felt so tired and sad.”
She blames the governor for **thousands of seniors’ d3aths**, profiting from a **$4 million memoir**, getting an Emmy while families couldn’t hold funerals.

“The storm was beating me down and finally winning,” she confessed. But after crying, she prayed for strength:
“Because our storm is not over. I’m not the same person who walked into it last year. But I will keep adjusting my sails and carry on.”

In the end, Janice realized: “Perhaps the storm has lasted this long because the storm was inside me.”

“Jesse, You’re Embarrassing me” – Unusual Live Moment on Fox News as Host Jesse Watters’ Mother Publicly Calls Out her Son’s Remarks!

A Liberal Mom’s Critical Texts to Her Son, a Fox News Host

Jesse Watters regularly reads messages from his mother aloud on air, exemplifying a political rift present in many American households.

Last February, on a Tuesday-evening television broadcast, the conservative political commentator Jesse Watters opined on several topics that reliably hold his attention and that of the other four panelists on the Fox News roundtable talk show The Five. He challenged a co-host who was questioning the usefulness of a border wall, called Brett Kavanaugh’s alibis when faced with s3xual-ass@ult allegati0ns “@irtight,” and belittled Democratic presidential hopefuls.

As the episode aired, Watters’s phone lit up with a series of text messages from an apparently incensed viewer: “I’m offended by a great many of your comments!” read one. “STOP YELLING AT JUAN,” read another, referring to Juan Williams, who is on the left side of the show’s political spectrum.

The sender was Watters’s mother, and it turned out that she had more feedback. After Watters referred to Elizabeth Warren as “Pocahontas” (something Donald Trump has often done), his mom admonished, “Do not name call and parrot Trump’s insults. That is beneath you.” The barrage of criticism ultimately took a loving turn, though: “One positive! Your tie knot looks better and you are buttoning your top button!”

Anne Bailey Watters’s motherly blend of reprimand and encouragement has inspired a sporadically recurring segment on The Five called “Mom Texts,” in which Jesse gleefully reads aloud (mostly critical) text messages from his very liberal mom. The segment, which first appeared two years ago, is hardly a model of measured political discourse, but it has provided a glimpse into how one man and his mother have navigated the ideological rift that has opened up in so many American families during the Trump era.

Jesse started receiving these text-message reviews of his performance after he joined The Five in the spring of 2017. “I used to read them to my co-hosts, and everyone just got a kick out of it,” he told me. He doesn’t remember if it was his idea or a producer’s to read them on air, but, he said, “I always thought they were gold.”

They are indeed amusing. “Please pronounce your ‘ings.’ The word is ‘putting’ not ‘puttin’,’” Anne advised her son two years ago. And after Jesse wore a salmon-pink blazer on the show in spring 2018, she texted him saying that he looked like a “ferris wheel operator.”

Anne also routinely addresses their serious differences head-on. One Mom Text was “Do your research about border security—you don’t sound like you have any facts!” Another was “I hope your Squad criticism can be just a tad more measured today … Please don’t sound like an old white guy who lacks any understanding of otherness.” A media personality might hear similar statements from any online commenter. But the thing that distinguished those two messages was the parental warmth of their final beats: The first ended with “You look tired—after a vacation?” and the second with “Love you so.” Even as Anne has taken issue with her son’s commentary on the House impeachment hearings, she has sprinkled some affection into her messages: “Please be assured that despite your WRETCHED political orientation I love you forever!” read a text broadcast last week.

“I always laugh,” Jesse said of how he reacts when the texts come in. Sometimes he sees them during commercial breaks, and usually his responses are acknowledgements of her messages: “I’ll [send a] thumbs-up or a ‘Hahaha’ or an emoji—laughing, crying, something like that.” The messages don’t have any effect on his political beliefs, though, he said. “She’s always telling me two things that are constant in these texts: One, stop screaming. And two, don’t be too much of a Trump supporter. I don’t really listen to either.”

“By pressing send, I actually find the action clarifying and clearing,” Anne, a child psychologist in Long Island, wrote to me in an email. “Next I pause, quietly hoping that he heeds just a moment of my perspective (and ire). And then, more times than not, I shake my head in disbelief and remark to my husband, ‘Can you believe that boy!!! Can you believe he said that! That’s typical. That’s my Jesse! Look at that grin and those sparkly eyes!’ Despite my degree of outrage, I have to laugh.” (Anne declined a phone interview but agreed to respond to written questions.)

Jesse thinks that “Mom Texts” makes for good TV because it “humanizes” him: “It’s even funnier that it’s my mom—everybody can relate to it … It’s just another layer to getting to know, or feeling like you know, the host.”

While conservative viewers likely enjoy laughing along with Jesse, the appeal of “Mom Texts” seems to be broader than the appeal of The Five itself, judging by the online haters the segment attracts; one recent tweet commenting on a “Mom Texts” clip read in part, “Imagine taking concerned texts from your mom asking you to be more human and less racist and… mocking them on national tv.”

Jesse is aware of the attention “Mom Texts” gets from those outside Fox News’ usual viewer base. Seeing him being scolded by his mother on television “seems to be the only thing the liberals enjoy about me,” Jesse said.

Many American families are in the political situation that the Watterses find themselves in, even if most families don’t work out their differences on TV. According to a survey conducted a year ago by the Public Religion Research Institute and The Atlantic, 39 percent of Americans said some political diversity exists within their family. And an ABC News survey found that the 2016 campaign made family relationships and friendships more tense for a roughly similar percentage of Americans.

Read: These are the Americans who live in a bubble

The Watterses’ political differences predate the Trump era, though Jesse did not grow up disagreeing with his mother. “Although family and school philosophical underpinnings taught him to respect and value difference, his interests growing up were more evidently centered upon friendships, athletics, and fun and it really wasn’t until college where we recognized a pronounced and seismically different political identity,” Anne wrote to me.

She remembered noticing her son’s newfound conservatism on a family trip to Maine around that time, on a day when the family was planning to eat lunch on a boat. “We were told very clearly however, and with a commitment that was quite astonishing considering the breathtakingly blue-skied day, that he would not join us because he had to listen to Rush Limbaugh,” Anne said.

As Jesse leaned into his conservative views, he and his family had some strained conversations. Anne mentioned “dinners together where conversation went off the rails,” and said that her “fiercely smart, incredibly articulate” son often “easily left [her] in the dust” argumentatively. Jesse admitted to being more confrontational in his mid-20s and beyond. “When I was younger, and maybe when I didn’t have the opportunity to bloviate [on TV] five days a week … I definitely did not read the room,” he said. “I was all juiced up about politics and I’d come home and let it rip. It’s not always smart.”

But a couple of years ago—around the time Jesse became a panelist on The Five, and early on in the Trump presidency—he and his mom started having fewer heated discussions about politics. “I’ve learned that it’s not in either of our interest to have a cutthroat political debate at home during the weekends or during holidays,” Jesse said. “It just doesn’t get us anywhere.” (He noted that he’s “completely outnumbered” in these scenarios; he’s the only conservative among him, his mom, his dad, and his sister.)

Anne agreed. “He tempers some of his jubilation about all things Trump when he is with us,” she said. “He can quickly read the room, we laugh easily and we move onto other subjects. And, we have found with time that we have so much more about our lives to discuss and to process and to laugh about than living in an atmosphere of opposition.”

My colleague Ashley Fetters wrote earlier this year about how family members might discuss their conflicting political views. Suggestions included “abandon[ing] the idea of winning an argument or convincing other people of the wrongness of their positions” and “deliberately distanc[ing] themselves from the full platform of policy positions supported by their chosen political party and instead examin[ing] each issue individually.”

The Watterses practice a different model of interaction, in which they avoid having intense political conversations in person. But they aren’t just ignoring their differences entirely. “I know how she feels, because she’s constantly texting me,” Jesse said. “And then she knows how I feel, because I’m on TV every day for an hour.” Perhaps this indirect exchange of opinions—with Jesse sharing his views publicly, while his mother texts him knowing that her messages could become Fox News programming—acts as a release valve so that their most fraught disagreements don’t have to be worked out in person.

While Anne clearly disagrees with her son, she’s not upset that he’s on TV promoting beliefs she doesn’t share. “Jesse is enormously committed to his work and he loves what he does professionally and I deeply respect that,” she said.

When I asked both Anne and Jesse if they’d ever changed the other’s mind on anything, neither provided an example of a specific policy or issue. But Jesse did note that Anne has gotten him to reevaluate how he presents his opinions. “I will definitely, after hearing from her, try to be respectful and try to take a more respectful tone sometimes on certain subjects that can be very touchy,” he said.

Which calls to mind a recent Mom Text: “I don’t think you have any idea how strident and screaming you are! You are struggling honeybun!” It must have been the honeybun that convinced him.

The pair didn’t appear to be hiding their growing bond as they put on a very public display when they headed for breakfast in Manchester city centre

It comes after the pair were seen leaving the BBC Morning Live studios just minutes after each other on Wednesday.

Helen dressed for the London sun in a pair of tiger-print floaty trousers and tan vest top.

She accessorised the look with chunky gold earrings and a brown bag before throwing a white fluffy cardigan over her arm.

Meanwhile, Gethin left a few minutes later as he put on a sporty display in a Cardiff rugby long-sleeved top and shorts.

Smiling he completed his look with a pair of stylish Ray Ban sunglasses after previously hinting at his close bond with ‘superwoman’ Helen as he praised her in a gushing Instagram post.

The TV stars, who have both presented Blue Peter and appeared as contestants on Strictly Come Dancing, are currently single after Gethin admitted he has been on the dating scene for the past two years having previously been engaged to Katherine Jenkins, and Helen split from ex-husband Richie Myler in 2022.

To add to the intrigue, their respective reps are also refusing to comment on the duo’s relationship, which has garnered further attention after they were seen leaving the BAFTA Television Awards together last Sunday with fellow guests at the event saying they were very ‘tactile’.

A TV source told MailOnline: ‘Helen and Gethin have an extremely close working relationship and there’s a feeling in recent months their friendship has blossomed into a deeper connection.

‘They’re both keen to keep a lid on it to avoid public scrutiny but there’s no denying their closeness both on and off screen.’

The Welsh presenter has in the past expressed his admiration for his co-star after they took part in a 24-hour live TV marathon in aid of Comic Relief earlier this year.

Taking to social media in March following their epic TV stint, Gethin shared his admiration for Helen and despite having spent 24 hours together, revealed that he called her up just an hour later.

Alongside a selection of images of the pair looking close during their TV marathon, he penned: ‘And a little appreciation post for this super woman @helenskelton. Unbelievable physical and mental resilience…

‘Loves a laugh but a deep thinker (I had to remind her a few times we were live on tv).

‘It says a lot that you can spend 24hrs non stop with someone and still call them an hour later for a debrief . Respect means we can be honest with each other always.

‘There was NO time at all, at any time during this challenge, not one, where I wanted to throw her off the rink. Never once. Didn’t even come into mind.’

And amid Gethin’s gushing words for Helen, fans couldn’t help but notice the chemistry between the pair as they took to the comments to suggest Helen and Gethin ‘belong together’.

‘I don’t publicly say often enough how much love and respect I have for you my friend because I assume it is well known, but for the record you’re a legend and I am beyond grateful to have you by my side on the rink, the sofa and beyond.’

Helen has been single since her high profile 2022 break up from husband Richie, the father of her three children, Ernie, nine, Louis, eight and Elsie, three.

The rugby league player, 34, was married to Helen for nine years before they split with the former Strictly star writing on Instagram that she was very ‘sad’ he had ‘left the family home’.

The ex-Blue Peter presenter has spoken about how difficult she found the breakdown of her marriage, writing in her autobiography she was in ‘shock’ and ‘didn’t see it coming’, as the couple split four months after the birth of their youngest child.

Helen’s commitment to her children saw the Countryfile star step down from her presenting role on BBC Radio 5 Live, as she announced in 2023 her departure was so she could spend more time with her family.

Richie has since moved on with Stephanie Thirkill, the daughter of Leeds Rhinos president Andrew Thirkill, and they have welcomed two children, Olivia and Freddie.

Gethin, meanwhile, has been single for two years having briefly dated First Dates star Cici Coleman in 2023.

Previously, he had romances with TOWIE’s Lucy Mecklenburgh in 2014 and German underwear model Katja Zwara in 2017.

But his most serious relationship was with Welsh opera star Katherine Jenkins who he dated for four years from 2007.

The presenter, 47, even proposed in February 2011 but they broke off their engagement in December that year.

Gethin is believed to have been a rock for Helen after the breakdown of her marriage with the pair often socialising together away from the cameras.

They are both based in Manchester during the week when they film Morning Live in Salford and as well as attending big award shows together, the TV duo have also been at events alongside friends and family.

In April last year, they attended a special Strictly Come Dancing themed charity event, the Burrow Strictly Ball, set up by the legendary late rugby league star Rob Burrow’s sisters Jo and Claire for the Motor Neurone Disease Association.

An eyewitness at the event revealed: ‘It was very clear that Helen and Gethin were together as a couple at the event, they were with close friends of Helen’s and their connection was undeniable.’

The same month Gethin was pictured tenderly touching Helen’s hand, which was wrapped around his arm, at the TV Choice awards.

Helen posted the snap on Instagram, which also included fellow Morning Live host Michelle Ackerley, and wrote: ‘Technically work colleagues, but we know too much about each other.’

The insider added: ‘Helen and Gethin have been able to attend events together without much fanfare purely because they’re work colleagues.

Gethin commented on her Instagram post: ‘Here she is… Finding the time, packing it in, breaking boundaries, committing to it, (even treadmill sessions at 4am). Well done H, you never cease to amaze me.’

Helen and Gethin have both previously been open about their respective love lives.

In November 2022, when she competed on Strictly Come Dancing, Helen admits her marriage split – which came shortly after the birth of her third child – left her ‘battle hardened’ and the dance show acted as a kind of ‘therapy.’

Meanwhile, Gethin has poked fun at this single status, revealing on Martin Compston and Gordon Smart’s Restless Natives podcast in February the administrators on dating app Hinge refused to believe he had signed up and struck him off assuming he was an imposter.

And after convincing them he was ‘the real Gethin Jones’ he left anyway having failed to find a suitable date.

He explained: ‘The moment when I have to write to Hinge, ‘Dear Hinge’ on a Thursday night, on your own, writing to an online dating app. ‘Hi it’s Gethin here, 46. I just want to get my money back because it’s not really working for me,’ eating some cereal because I hadn’t got some food in.’

He might not be so unlucky in love after all…

In a new interview with Hello, fellow Morning Live presenter Helen Skelton, 41, said she and the show’s mainstay presenters, Gethin and Michelle, are close off-camera.

“I’ve done this job for a long time and I feel very lucky that every now and again you land on a group of people and a crew that really clicks,” she explained.

“Michelle [Ackerley] and Gethin [Jones] and I have all been friends for years and years. Gethin and I crossed over a lot at Blue Peter, so we’ve got a lot of the same reference points,” Helen added.

Former Strictly star Helen disclosed that she and Michelle “used to flat share back in London”. She stated they have “natural chemistry” because they have known each other since they began their television careers.

“If you have to go to work and you like what you do and you do it with people that are like an extension of your family, then you’re very lucky and I definitely feel like that at Morning Live,” she continued.

Even though neither have confirmed the rumours, Helen and Gethin are reportedly secretly dating.

BREAKING SAD NEWS: British veteran TV actor Gerald Harper, aged 92, confirmed D3ad in tragic circumstances in Spain – Best known for his controversial R0mance with an actress over 40 years his junior – Which still sh0cks British audiences to this day!

Veteran stage and TV performer Gerald Harper – who was in a brief relationship with an actress 40 years his junior – has d13d.

Gerald made his name on British TV in the 1960s and 1970s, starring as the lead role in the adventure drama Adam Adamant Lives! and then as the main character in Hadleigh. He then went on to forge an illustrious career on the stage, featuring in various West End shows, including Crucifer of Blood and A Personal Affair at the Haymarket Theatre.

Although he was also in popular films, such as 1979 mystery comedy The Lady Vanishes, Gerald will also be remembered for his relationship with Coupling and Green Wing star Sophie Alexander. He was in his early 70s when Sophie, then aged around 30, became lovers. Sophie was at the height of her own fame at the time, as she was a regular in sitcom Coupling and had been in Smack the Pony for four years.

Speaking at the time, a source who saw the couple together told our sister title, the Sunday People: “They were super-glued together! They were all over each other and didn’t care who saw them. Funnily enough, the young lady was making a lot of the running and kept grabbing him to French kiss him – it was quite a display.”

But Sophie, who has since been in Hollywood film I Could Never Be Your Woman, ended things with Gerald in 2002. She left Gerald for actor Peter Serafinowicz, whom she since married.

Gerald d13d on Wednesday, his agent confirmed yesterday. CDM Talent Agency posted on social media: “It is with great sadness that Gerald Harper has recently passed away – he was a valued client before he went to Spain to enjoy his retirement.” It is unclear where the actor d13d.

He leaves behind two grown-up children, one from each of his two marriages before he met Sophie. Gerald, who also a radio presenter, was married to actress Jane Downs from 1957 until they divorced in 1975. In 1976, he married Carla Rabaiotti, a former Pan American air stewardess; they were divorced in 1983. He had a daughter with Heartbeat star Jane, who herself passed away in 2015, and a son with Carla.

Yet it is the fling with Sophie, long after the marriages, which caused the stir in Notting Hill, central London, where Gerald lived. Sophie reportedly moved in with the star, some 42 years her senior, which was believed to have raised eyebrows in the affluent area. It is said, though, Gerald was “absolutely bereft” when Sarah left him for Amandaland star Peter in 2002.

Since then, Gerald’s TV work declined and he focused more on plays and radio presenting. The charismatic performer presented The Sunday Affair for Capital Radio in the 1970s, and a series of Saturday afternoon shows for BBC Radio 2 in the early 1990s, in which he played classic songs from the past and gave away bottles of champagne and chocolates.

Speaking to the Daily Express in 2006, dad-of-two Gerald, who grew up in Barnet, northwest London, said: “I was a TV star on my own terms and for the best part of 20 years I virtually didn’t have a day off.”

Emily Atack drops Disney+ reality show to team up with Danny Dyer – Can this hot duo spark a comeback amid ITV’s controversial cuts?

Emily Atack has reportedly backtracked on a fly-on-the-wall reality show after taking Disney+ by storm in Rivals.

The TV personality, 35, thrilled fans with her performance in Rivals, where she played the ‘extr3mely pr0m1scuous’ wife of the Deputy Prime Minister, Sarah Stratton.

She was recently pictured on set, busy filming season two of the racy Disney+ series and has been preoccupied with preparing to front a brand new game show.

But now, the mum-of-one has reportedly pulled out of another programme she was working on, The Sun reports.

Emily welcomed her son last year with partner Alistair Garner and she was apparently in talks with Disney+ about a reality show centring around her motherhood journey.

An insider told the publication: ‘It’s not entirely clear why she didn’t pursue the show, particularly as it would have proved very lucrative to be working with the streaming giant.

‘It would almost certainly have proved very popular with viewers too. But it’s fair to say she would have struggled time-wise to fit it in alongside all her other projects and, of course, her most important job of being a mother.’

MailOnline has approached Disney+ for comment.

It comes after it was revealed Danny Dyer and Emily are set to be ITV’s next hosting duo as they ‘sign up’ to front a brand new game show. 

Bosses at the broadcaster have reportedly brought in the pair in a bid to ‘freshen up their entertainment talent’.

An insider told The Sun: ‘Bosses have been impressed with Danny and Emily’s charisma on Rivals and thought they’d make an amazing duo on-screen to freshen up their entertainment talent.

‘They’re an unlikely pair but have appeared on a few panel shows together and have plenty of fun energy that is perfect for the tone that ITV want to set.

‘Producers are keen to trial new presenting partnerships to get people talking, and both Emily and Danny have huge appeal.’

The publication reports they’re set to receive a whopping £250,000 each, with the show expected to air next year.

While last month Emily took to Instagram to mark their ‘beautiful’ son’s first birthday.

Emily shared photos that highlighted Barney’s first year – including from when the star gave birth to him, and recent pictures of the trio enjoying family life.

Captioning the images on Instagram, she wrote: ‘Happy 1st birthday to our son Barney James Garner. The Baby Barn Owl.

‘I’ve dreamt of you my whole life. It was always you. I love you beyond words, our beautiful, BEAUTIFUL boy.

‘You are so cherished my heart could burst.’
