Ozzy Osbourne opened up about his serious heart problems shortly before he died of a heart at.tack. The Black Sabbath legend died aged 76 on July 22 with his cause of d3ath announced as cardiac arrest, acute myocardial infarction, coronary artery disease and Parkinson’s disease. New reports have since revealed the heavy metal icon had opened up about his “dodgy heart valve” in the last chapter of his upcoming memoir Last Rites. It was reportedly written after Osbourne’s retirement show Back To The Beginning, which took place on July 5 this year.
“It’s never silly little things,” Osbourne writes of the health problems he was suffering at the time. “It’s always life-or-d3ath,” reports LouderSound.com. He addressed his heart issues and that they were caused by a recent sepsis infection. He contracted the infection in 2023, after he underwent his last procedure in a years-long series of spinal surgeries.

“The valve is 80 percent blocked, apparently,” Osbourne continues. “The sepsis also gave me something called arrhythmia – when your heart can’t keep time, like a drummer in a bad pub band – so cheers for that.”
The publication reports that doctors refused to operate on his valve and advised if he was to undergo the procedure he would have to come off the blood thinners he was taking to manage his Parkinson’s disease, which “would be too dangerous”.
“Meanwhile, the thinners mean if I ever fall over, I’d bleed out in about five seconds,” Osbourne concluded. “I’ve honestly lost count of the ways in which getting old sucks.”
The Black Sabbath legend died in July aged 76, just days after gracing the stage for one last performance – in a gig orchestrated by wife Sharon.

Ozzy and Sharon had relocated to Buckinghamshire to savour his retirement years in the tranquillity of their rural estate – but the rock icon’s condition deteriorated rapidly after the show and he died at their residence weeks later.
Sharon has subsequently withdrawn from public appearances to mourn in private but her son Jack appeared on Good Morning America and shared a candid update.
“You know, when people have been asking me that question, I say, ‘She’s OK, but she’s not OK’,” Jack confessed.
When asked if she can “feel the affection and appreciation,” from supporters, Jack responded: “Oh my god, yeah. I know she feels the love.”
Meghan Markle torn apart over ‘utterly bewildering’ and ‘beyond stupid’ moment
Meghan Markle is facing intense scrutiny over a “thoughtless” clip that she shared on social media. The Duchess of Sussex posted a video of her feet up on the interior of a limousine as it drove near to the Paris tunnel where Princess Diana died in a car crash. Meghan shared the clip to her 4.2 million Instagram followers as she made her way back from a surprise appearance at fashion week in the French capital, marking her first appearance in Europe in two years.
Her controversial footage has been slammed as “bewilderingly tasteless” and “thoughtless” as she rolled down the window as her car drove past bridges, including the Pont Alexandre III and the Pont des Invalides. The next bridge along the Seine is the Pont d’Alma which is where Princess Diana died in August 1997. Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams called the post “utterly bewildering”, “beyond stupid” and “insensitive beyond belief”, adding Prince Harry will not be impressed.
“I don’t understand what on earth she was thinking – well, she can’t have been thinking,” he told the Daily Mail.

Princess Kate sends bold message after making key change
The Princess of Wales sent a powerful message last week by stepping out in her grey Prince of Wales check suit. At 43, Kate is making muted tailoring her calling card, swapping headline-grabbing outfits for a uniform of sorts.
The repeated Bella Freud design was a bold move, creating a loud message. Just weeks earlier, she wore the exact same trouser suit to the Silk Mill in Whitchurch, underscoring her deliberate move towards understated power dressing.

Expert reveals what really happened during Meghan Markle’s ‘cringe’ encounter in Paris
A body language expert analysed Meghan Markle’s awkward encounter with a fashion designer in Paris and pinpointed who was really at fault. The Duchess of Sussex surprised fans over the weekend after she was photographed in the French capital.
Meghan went to France to attend Balenciaga’s fashion show at Paris Fashion Week for Spring/Summer 2026. She wore a white outfit with a black clutch and black heels, all custom-made by Balenciaga’s Pier Paolo Piccioli, whom the Duchess went to greet as the two met.
But it all went wrong when Meghan tried to give him an air kiss, accidentally hitting her head on his sunglasses with some fans describing it as “cringe”, and now an expert has explained why.

Prince Harry’s furious outburst was a mistake – and he must remain silent, blasts expert
Prince Harry’s decision to respond to claims he found the reunion with his father King Charles “formal” could have been a mistake, a royal expert has said. Just weeks after the Duke of Sussex reconciled with his father in the UK last month for what was their first face-to-face meeting since February 2024, sources claimed that Harry, 41, found the meeting “official”.
While Harry, who quit royal life in 2020, could have ignored such claims, instead, he wanted to set the record straight. His spokesperson released a statement on the prince’s behalf, saying: “Recent reporting of The Duke’s view of the tone of the meeting, is categorically false.
“The quotes attributed to him are pure invention fed, one can only assume, by sources intent on sabotaging any reconciliation between father and son.”

Prince Philip’s genius way to sneak out of Buckingham Palace
Prince Philip found a clever way to sneak out of Buckingham Palace without anyone noticing, a former royal staffer has claimed. The late Duke of Edinburgh was known to be a keen driver and continued to drive until later in his life.
He stopped driving in public when he voluntarily surrendered his licence in February 2019 after an accident the month before, but he continued driving on private grounds. But there were many times when the late Duke had to be chauffeured around, and according to a former royal butler, he had found the perfect way to do so incognito.
Paul Burrell, who worked for the Royal Family and served as Diana, Princess of Wales’s butler, revealed that Philip would sneak out into the crowds in a black cab he had converted without being recognised.

Queen Camilla heartbreak as her friend dies unexpectedly
Dame Jilly Cooper, a friend of Queen Camilla’s, has passed away unexpectedly at the age of 88. The much-loved author was friends with the Queen, and they spent time together at Chatsworth last month for the Queen’s Reading Room Festival.
After her agent announced her death, Dame Jilly’s children Felix and Emily said in a statement : “Mum, was the shining light in all of our lives. Her love for all of her family and friends knew no bounds. Her unexpected death has come as a complete shock. We are so proud of everything she achieved in her life and can’t begin to imagine life without her infectious smile and laughter allaround us.”

Meghan Markle ‘copyrighted’ Princess Lilibet’s name – ‘before she was even born’
Meghan Markle reportedly “copyrighted” her daughter’s name before she was born, a royal expert has previously claimed. The Duchess of Sussex, 44, and Prince Harry, 41, welcomed their daughter into the world in 2021, just two years after the birth of their son, Prince Archie.
Soon after their daughter was born, Meghan and Harry confirmed she was to be called Lilibet – a sweet nod to Queen Elizabeth II, who had been called the name Lilibet by her loved ones since she was a toddler. While this was considered a nice gesture to Harry’s grandmother, not everyone thought so, with claims that the late Queen was “furious” that her pet name had been used.
It was also claimed that Meghan had actually copyrighted the name – a claim made by royal biographer Angela Levin.

Mike Tindall suffers crushing blow after announcing controversial career move
Mike Tindall’s ambitious plan to revolutionise rugby has been dealt a major blow after two of the sport’s major organisations refused to support it. Mike, who is married to Princess Anne’s daughter, Zara Tindall, is spearheading the breakaway R360, a proposed franchise league that aims to deliver “generational change in rugby” and transform the sport like never before.
The former England rugby union star is joined by former Bath director of rugby Stuart Hooper, sports marketing executive Mark Spoors and lawyer John Loffhagen. Their plans involve creating 12 new franchise sides, each packed with the world’s top rugby stars.
However, after it was announced that the competition would launch next year, the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and the International Rugby Players Association (IRPA) raised objections.

Prince Louis could finally reach royal milestone that even Prince Archie has done
Prince Louis may only be seven-years-old, but he is already a very popular royal. While he will most likely be a working royal in the future, carrying out official engagements and representing the monarchy as the son of a future King, for now he is simply like most other children attending school and playing sports.
Although he does benefit from some of the perks of royal life, one perk Louis is yet to experience is going on a royal tour with his parents Prince William and Princess Kate. This is something both his siblings Prince George, 12, and Princess Charlotte, 10, did when they were younger before they started school.
However, for Louis this was not the case, as his toddler years were during the Covid-19 pandemic when travel restrictions were in place.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle face brutal snub by Royal Family at major upcoming event
With Christmas just a few months away now, it is believed invites for the Royal Family’s festive celebrations at Sandringham have already been sent. Every year, King Charles and Queen Camilla host the wider family at Sandringham on December 25, where the royals enjoy some well-needed quality time together.
From present opening, to the Christmas Day church service, to a nice lunch together, the day is no doubt one the family look forward to. However, not every royal relative is invited. Two royals unlikely to make the guest list again this year are Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, who quit royal life in 2020.

‘Impossible’ for Sarah Ferguson to join inner royal circle again, expert claims
Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, may find it “impossible” to be part of the inner Royal Family circle ever again, a royal expert has said. Prince Andrew’s ex-wife, 65, has faced a massive PR crisis over the last few weeks after it was revealed she had emailed the late convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein in 2011 after he was released from prison for child sex offences.
In the email, Sarah had called Epstein her “supreme friend” and had apologised for criticising him in an interview. A spokesperson for the duchess has since said she only sent the email out of fear that Epstein was going to sue her for defamation.
While this may be the case, this latest scandal has put the duchess under a negative spotlight, with one royal expert now believing that she won’t be part of the Royal Family’s inner circle ever again.

Prince William and Princess Kate set up ‘pub quiz team’ with children
Prince William and Princess Kate may be a future King and Queen, but they are also known for being very down-to-earth. This approach is something that the couple show during both royal engagements and in their home life with their three children.
While they may be members of the Royal Family, William and Kate, both 43, are determined to give their children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7, as ordinary an upbringing as possible. This is believed to be one of the reasons they relocated to Windsor – a place where they can do the school runs and live in a home away from royal staff.
It is also believed to be one of the reasons why the family do ordinary activities together, with it now being revealed that William and Kate have set up a pub-quiz team with their two oldest children.

Prince Harry stripped of family ‘title’ as other royal steps in to replace him
Prince Harry stepped back from royal duty in 2020, leaving his official royal work behind in the UK as he jetted overseas to California. However, it’s not just Palaces, royal engagements and his HRH title that he left behind.
After moving to America, Harry and his wife Meghan Markle made a series of damning revelations about the Royal Family, both in their 2021 Oprah Winfrey interview, and in their 2022 Netflix docuseries Harry and Meghan. Harry then took this a step further in 2023 by publishing his damaging memoir Spare, further worsening the rift he already had with his brother Prince William.
This rift has since resulted in Harry losing an unofficial royal title – the role of “fun” uncle to Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

Prince William gives rare five-word update on George, Charlotte and Louis
Prince William gave a rare update about his three children on his latest TV appearance this week. On Friday, The Prince of Wales featured on The Reluctant Traveller series with Canadian actor Eugene Levy, with the royal giving him a tour of Windsor Castle.
After the tour, William took Eugene to a local pub, where the two men enjoyed a pint together. While some of their conversations had been very light-hearted, the discussion took on a more serious tone, with William talking about his wife Princess Kate’s cancer battle last year.
He also revealed how his children Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, seven, coped with the situation.
In a five-word comment, the future King said: “My children have managed brilliantly.”

Known stalker came within feet of Prince Harry TWICE during duke’s London visit
A woman who is understood to be a known stalker managed to get within feet of Prince Harry twice during his latest UK visit. It’s reported the female stalker, who may be suffering from mental health issues, had gained access to a “secure zone” at a hotel in central London when the Duke of Sussex was attending the WellChild Awards on September 9.
According to the Telegraph, the same woman was sighted near the Centre for Blast Injuries in west London two days later where the Duke had been visiting. The newspaper reports the unnamed woman had also followed the royal to Nigeria. It’s reported during this latest incident a member of Prince Harry’s private staff recognised the individual and “body-blocked” her to ensure she did not get close to the Prince. Security sources said it was not known at the time if she was carrying a weapon.
It’s understood the woman is on a list of individuals who are fixated with Prince Harry. The list has been drawn up by a private intelligence company who are part of the Duke’s protection team.

‘Real reason’ there was an empty seat at Princess Eugenie’s wedding
Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank tied the knot at St George’s Chapel in Windsor Castle on October 12, 2018. The couple, who first met back in 2010, are now proud parents to two sons, August, four, and Ernest, two.
As well as their royal family members, guests at the couple’s wedding included some well-known celebrities such as Naomi Campbell and Robbie Williams. The rows of the royal box, which are located closest to the altar, were lined with guests such as Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Philip and King Charles. Also in the front row were Eugenie’s parents, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson and her older sister, Princess Beatrice.
Next to Andrew, 65, was an empty and the reason is simply due to royal protocol as it is forbidden for anyone to sit in front of the monarch.

Expert pinpoints moment it’s ‘unbearably sad to watch’ in new Prince William TV chat
Prince William impressed royal fans last week as he has featured on a new TV series. The Prince of Wales, 43, appeared on The Reluctant Traveller with Canadian actor Eugene Levy, 78, with the pair spending time together in Windsor.
As well as giving Eugene a tour of Windsor Castle and the grounds, William also treated the actor to a quick pint at a local pub. It was here where the prince got candid about a number of things, with one being his wife Princess Kate’s health.
While talking about how “great” it is now she is in remission, William also addressed how Kate’s cancer journey last year impacted the family, showing visible emotion as he spoke about this.

Good Morning
Good morning. Royal reporter Jasmine Carey here and I will be bringing you live updates today.
HEARTBREAKING CONFESSION: Celebrity Traitors Star Jonathan Ross Broke Down in the Subway After Failing to Return Home Before His Mother’s Passing
Jonathan Ross previously opened up about the deep regret he felt after missing the final opportunity to see his mother before she d!ed. His mum, Martha Ross, passed away from cancer at the age of 79 in January 2019. In a heartbreaking admission, Jonathan revealed he didn’t visit his mum straight away because doctors said she had a form of cancer she “could live with”.
Martha tragically passed away just one day before Jonathan planned to go and see her. Recalling the devastating time during an appearance on Loose Women in late 2019, the chat show host said: “She had a form of cancer but we were told that it was liveable with. We assumed she would be around for a lot longer. Then she got ill and a phone call went around. We had a family WhatsApp group.”
Today, my Family and I will gather to say goodbye to our Mum, Grandma, Great-Grandma. Martha. A wonderful, loving, glamorous, thoughtful, vivacious woman. Always smiling. Always happy. Always putting us first. We were so lucky to have her. We love you Mum x pic.twitter.com/aux3ckBJJI
He continued: “I feel bad because everyone said, ‘Oh, we will all go and see her.’ And I said, ‘Let’s not all go and see her today because then there is no one going to see her tomorrow. Let’s spread it out during the week. Who can only go today?’
“Two of them went there, and then she d!ed that day. That last day that I would have seen her. Although I think she didn’t really know what was going on.”
Opening up about his grief, the TV personality said: “My father is still alive so this was the first of my parents that we lost.
“It is devastating. You know it’s going to be a big loss but you don’t really know how it is going to feel. I don’t know if you ever fully get over it.”
As well as Jonathan, Martha was mother to five other children; radio host Paul, TV producer and actor Miles, TV producer Simon Ross, music industry executive Adam and daughter Liza.
Martha, an actress and radio presenter, played a key role in steering her sons toward careers in the entertainment industry. Jonathan made his first television appearance at the age of 10 in a 1970 advert for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, later going on to feature in a commercial for Persil laundry detergent.
He is now best known for hosting The Jonathan Ross Show and will make his return to screens tonight in Celebrity Traitors.
Expressing his admiration for the BBC programme, the broadcaster said: “I LOVE the show. I’ve watched all the versions around the world, and I love playing games. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be in the castle.
“It’s one of those experiences that money can’t buy – to actually be in The Traitors after you’ve watched it so many times. Because, of course, we all watch at home, and I’m fascinated to see how it feels to be right in the middle of the action.
He added: “Also, because I don’t trust any celebrities, I think I’m going to assume they’re all Traitors!”
A beloved singer has di3d after being put on a ventilator for 11 days following a horror acc1dent.
Important note: Details surrounding this incident are still developing. Some reports may be preliminary. We will avoid speculation and update as verified information emerges.
The music world is in mourning after singer-actor Rajvir Jawanda di3d at 35, 11 days after a devastating bike acc1dent on September 27. According to reports, the beloved performer was placed on a ventilator and remained on life support for nearly two weeks before doctors confirmed his d3ath. Tributes began pouring in within minutes of the news breaking, with fans, fellow artists, and industry figures sharing memories of a voice that filled festival stages and a presence that lit up screens. Colleagues remembered him as a relentless worker with a warm laugh—the first to arrive at rehearsals, the last to leave a set. For many, Jawanda wasn’t just a star—he was the soundtrack to weddings, road trips, and long nights that needed a lift.
The suddenness is what stings most. One moment, a rider on a late-September day; the next, a family keeping vigil by hospital machines, clinging to hope as the hours became days. Doctors fought, fans prayed, and an entire community refreshed timelines in the quiet dread of an update no one wanted. It came today.
Grief has its own geography. Outside studios where he last recorded, bouquets gather. On social feeds, his hit hooks loop endlessly, comments stacking into digital memorials. “He gave us anthems,” one producer wrote. “On stage he was larger than life, off stage he was gentle—always asking if you’d eaten.” A concert promoter added, “He could turn a crowd of thousands into a single heartbeat.” A music historian noted that Jawanda bridged eras: “He honored tradition without being trapped by it, bringing folk textures into modern production in a way that felt effortless.”
Authorities have not released a full account of the crash, and family representatives are asking for privacy as they plan last rites and memorials. In the coming days, questions will linger—about road safety, about the fragility of life in an industry that never slows down. But tonight, the answers don’t matter as much as the echoes he leaves behind. The songs remain. The videos remain. The feeling remains—that moment when the chorus hits and the crowd becomes a choir.
For fans seeking official updates, follow statements from family, management, and verified outlets. For everyone else, there’s a simpler ritual: press play, turn it up, and let his voice do what it always did—carry you.
Jenrick uses conference speech to launch savage attack on Prime Minister
Robert Jenrick defends saying he’s not ‘seen another white face’ in Birmingh
SIR KEIR Starmer’s leadership has been compared to the hapless Baldrick from telly show Blackadder by a senior Tory.
The Prime Minister came under personal attack from Robert Jenrick over his “sorry excuse” year-long time in Downing Street.
Robert Jenrick compared Sir Keir Starmer to Baldrick from Blackadder in conference speech Sir Keir Starmer at last week’s Labour annual conference in Liverpool
He was lambasted by the shadow Justice Secretary at the Tories’ annual conference in Manchester.
The PM came under fire for stifling free speech, betraying Brexit and raising taxes as he wooed delegates at the rally.
He was likened to Baldrick who plays the servant and sidekick to Edmund Blackadder in the BBC hit show.
Jenrick said: “Now we all knew that Keir Starmer would be a bad Prime Minister.
“But I don’t think anyone anticipated he would be this bad. He’s combined the management style of David Brent with the administrative grip of Blackadder’s Baldrick.
“He’s proven himself to be a freebie-grabbing, free speech-stifling, criminal-releasing, tax-raising, farmer-hating, Brexit-betraying, aspiration-sapping sorry excuse for a leader.
“This is someone who makes a hole in the air look substantial, Peter Mandelson appear trustworthy and Mr Bean look like a model of competence and grip.”
“But despite all this, and this might surprise you, I think we’ve got reason to be optimistic.
“And that’s because in ways that matter most profoundly, the fantasists masquerading as experts are seeing their myths busted.”
The shadow Cabinet Minister finished second to eventual winner Kemi Badenoch in the leadership contest last November.
He is seen by many in the party as the natural successor to Badenoch should she be ousted as leader.
Jenrick also urged the the conference that the Tories need to “take our country back”.
The shadow justice secretary said there was “so much good in our country that’s worth fighting for”.
He included food, beer, the common law, “a royal family so admired they make the most powerful man in the world go weak at the knees, a military that has defeated every force on the planet”.
His comments came after he announced criminals will face tougher sentences under Tory plans to scrap the Sentencing Council and end “two-tier justice.”
He vowed to stop woke judges dishing out soft punishments for serious offenders.
He will blast the current system as “a two-tier nightmare” and say it is time to put the British people back in charge of justice.
The Sentencing Council, set up by Labour, tells judges how long to jail offenders.
But it sparked fury earlier this year after suggesting judges take into account an offender’s race, religion or background before sentencing.
The plan triggered a major backlash and ministers were forced to use emergency laws to block it.
However, Justice Secretary David Lammy said: “Robert Jenrick calls himself a patriot, but he tramples on the British values he claims to defend. He calls himself a Conservative, but he threatens to trash the institutions and traditions that hold our country together.
“The independence of judges from politicians is not optional. It is the cornerstone of British democracy.
“When politicians start deciding which judges can stay or go, that is democratic backsliding and Robert Jenrick knows it.
“Unlike Robert Jenrick, the public knows Britishness isn’t about retreating into suspicion or judging people by the colour of their skin.
“It’s about pride in what we build and contribute together. While the Conservative Party feeds off division and decline, Labour is delivering the patriotic renewal our country needs.”

HEARTBREAKING NEWS: Strictly Come Dancing star George Clarke has OPENED UP about his HORRIFIC INJURY during rehearsals
The stars of Strictly Come Dancing are gearing up for the second dance off this week, with tensions already mounting.
George Clarke has disclosed that he had to seek help from a physiotherapist last week after sustaining a back injury during rehearsals. The social media star shared his experience on his podcast, The Useless Hotline Podcast, where he was joined by his Strictly professional dance partner Alexis Warr for the first time.
The 25-year-old dazzled both the judges and viewers with his striking Paso Doble on Saturday, earning a score of 30. He secured third place on the leaderboard for the first two weeks, hot on the heels of Lewis Cope and Amber Davies who clinched second and first place respectively.
Despite his high scores, George revealed on his podcast that his rehearsal time for the Paso Doble was cut short due to needing physiotherapy for a back injury he picked up in practice.
“I didn’t want it to be a thing on the night,” he stated. “That’s why they asked in the VT, they were like, ‘Do you want to mention your back?’ and I said, ‘I don’t want it to be a thing’.”
He continued: “I had a pinched nerve all week in my back. I had acupuncture half way through the week. I went to physio four times.”
As for how the injury occurred, George confessed that it happened when a handstand went awry, reports the Mirror.
“I was like, ‘I’ll throw in a handstand or something.’ I like doing a handstand, if I keep my legs together I’d probably be better at it but it doesn’t feel fun when you do it that way,” he shared.
“I did that and got up and went, ‘My back hurts a little bit actually. Ah s**t, I’ve got a little twinge in there somehow. I’ll try to carry on.’”.
Will revealed that after they took a lunch break, he was unable to return to training and “went straight to physio” instead. “I went to physio the next morning as well. Danced for a bit, sat down,” he added.
Meanwhile, Alexis noted that it’s the ‘most frustrated’ she had seen George, with him adding: “Monday is when they throw a load of information at you and then it’s Terrible Tuesday because you’re trying to figure it out.”
Not only was he behind with training, but George had to keep halting rehearsal due to his back pain.
“It would get to the point where I’m getting it then I had to sit down because my back was hurting,” he confessed.
Earlier this week, George expressed what participating in the competition truly means to him, writing on Instagram: “Probably [a] good time to continue being serious and thank everyone for their unbelievable support so far.
“Whether you’re old or new (here, not just in general) I really appreciate the comments, the messages and obviously the votes!”.
The Chase star Paul Sinha previously opened up about a rather awkward interaction with a huge A-lister who was “really nasty and rude”.
The quizzer has been a staple on screens since his debut on the ITV show in 2011. So it’s no surprise that Paul – who is on Beat The Chasers today (October 5) – has rubbed shoulders with several famous faces over the years.
However, according to Paul, there is one celeb who was “really rude” to him while at a swanky showbiz party…

The Chase star Paul Sinha on rudest celeb he’s met
Last month, Paul appeared on the Bad Boys Done Good podcast. He was asked by the hosts Tom Ward and Joe Jacobs: “Who’s the biggest [bleep] you’ve ever met in TV? This is a safe space. You could be honest.”
Not holding his tongue, Paul didn’t sugarcoat his answer. He said: “Well I was at an ITV party a few years ago when somebody basically was really, really nasty and rude to me in conversation.”
They walked off laughing at my discomfort.
The Chase star continued: “When I was trying to sort of fanboy him and hero worship him. In the end he told his mate, you don’t even know who this [bleep] is. And they walked off together laughing at my discomfort.”
Paul went and recalled the awkward encounter: “And I wanted to shout out: ‘You’re not even the funniest person in your marriage. That would be Jennifer Saunders.’”
Name-dropping the celeb, Paul claimed: “Yeah I’m talking about Adrian Edmondson… he’s a [bleep].”

A GB News guest has shared her thoughts on Meghan Markle following her appearance during Paris Fashion Week. The Duchess of Suss3x made her first visit to Europe in over two years to support a friend in the fashion industry. During her trip, she attended the Balenciaga show and was pictured greeting Vogue’s global editorial director Anna Wintour. Editor at Large of the Mail on Sunday, Charlotte Griffiths, reacted to Meghan’s appearance during a chat on GB News, saying she found Meghan meeting Anna “very interesting.” Charlotte argued that Anna and Meghan “never really got on as Anna is a big monarchist and never invited her to the famous Met Gala ball.”
Charlotte also said that Meghan was “awkward” when meeting her fashion designer friend and argued that “she seemed a little out of place in Paris.” In addition, Meghan apparently sat in the front row of the show, and when a model tripped, Meghan reportedly “burst out laughing.”

When she arrived at the show, Meghan opted for crisp white wide-leg pants that were paired with a shirt, but the highlight was a cape that trailed behind her.
The Duchess of Suss3x was joined by her longtime friend Marcus Anderson, with the duo sitting alongside Tracee Ellis Ross. She was also spotted greeting the Hollywood director Baz Luhrmann. Prince Harry was not in attendance.
Meghan is believed to have last visited Europe in 2022, when she attended the funeral of the late Queen Elizabeth II in London. She has not been back to the UK since.

After the show, Meghan returned to her hotel in Paris, where she overheard a photographer telling her she was “shining like a diamond.”
The Duchess of Suss3x has previously attended New York and Toronto Fashion Weeks while working as an actress on Suits. It is believed this is her first fashion week appearance in years.
Commenting on Meghan’s outfit, a spokesperson for Meghan Markle told Hello! Magazine: “Over the years, the Duchess has worn a number of designs by Pierpaolo. They have worked closely together, collaborating on design for key moments on the world stage. She has long admired his craftsmanship and modern elegance, and tonight was no different.”
Patrick Christys shared his opinion on the Labour conference
Is the Labour Party inciting violence against Reform voters by calling them ʀᴀcιsт? Nigel Farage thinks so.
The Prime Minister called Reform’s policies ʀᴀcιsт. The Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, is calling them ʀᴀcιsт.
David Lammy is calling them ʀᴀcιsт. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson is calling them ʀᴀcιsт.
In his big speech today, Sir Keir Starmer used language like this: “We must go into battle armed not just with words, but with actions.”
Patrick Christys claimed that Labour are ‘putting lives at risk’
And then, after Sir Keir Starmer finished speaking, David Lammy sunk to a new low by saying this about Nigel Farage: “I will leave it for the public to come to their own judgements about someone who once flirted with Hitler Youth when he was younger.”
Aside from the fact that you just can’t really go around saying that people loved Hitler, it’s also highly defamatory, which is why I suspect the lawyers got on to Mr Mastermind.
Mr Lammy later said: “He has denied it, and so I accept that he has denied it. I would like to clarify that position, because in the end the Prime Minister was keen for us to focus on the policies, not the individual.”
Look, there’s not a sorry in there, is there? And it’s disgusting language to use in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, when people on TikTok have already appeared to want Nigel Farage “done next.”
Nigel Farage has already been ᴀттᴀcκᴇᴅ multiple times. That one was with a milkshake. This one was with rocks.
It wasn’t that long ago that comedian Jo Brand suggested dousing him with battery acid.
Sir Keir Starmer’s speech was basically all about flags today. Bit ironic, given it’s Labour councils who’ve been removing unionist Saint George’s flags all around the country.
Sir Keir Starmer was hoping to ignite some patriotic enthusiasm. Well, it’s a shame that his Cabinet didn’t seem to like it.
Rachel Reeves looked like she’d been crying again. Not just from the top, but from the grassroots, because Ed Miliband and Bridget Phillipson just didn’t want to be there.
Now, when it comes to the racism stuff, when David Lammy says things like this they want people to think that Reform voters are ʀᴀcιsт.
Keir Starmer launched a series of attacks on Nigel Farage during his speech.
They want people to think that all Reform politicians are ʀᴀcιsт.
They want people to think that Farage is like Hitler.
What that does is put a target on people’s backs. It puts lives at risk. And I think they know exactly what they’re doing.
Jonathan Ross opened up about missing the final opportunity to see his mother before she passed away (Image: ITV)
Jonathan Ross previously opened up about the deep regret he felt after missing the final opportunity to see his mother before she died. His mum, Martha Ross, passed away from cancer at the age of 79 in January 2019. In a heartbreaking admission, Jonathan revealed he didn’t visit his mum straight away because doctors said she had a form of cancer she “could live with”.
Martha tragically passed away just one day before Jonathan planned to go and see her. Recalling the devastating time during an appearance on Loose Women in late 2019, the chat show host said: “She had a form of cancer but we were told that it was liveable with. We assumed she would be around for a lot longer. Then she got ill and a phone call went around. We had a family WhatsApp group.”
He continued: “I feel bad because everyone said, ‘Oh, we will all go and see her.’ And I said, ‘Let’s not all go and see her today because then there is no one going to see her tomorrow. Let’s spread it out during the week. Who can only go today?’
“Two of them went there, and then she died that day. That last day that I would have seen her. Although I think she didn’t really know what was going on.”
Opening up about his grief, the TV personality said: “My father is still alive so this was the first of my parents that we lost.
“It is devastating. You know it’s going to be a big loss but you don’t really know how it is going to feel. I don’t know if you ever fully get over it.”
As well as Jonathan, Martha was mother to five other children; radio host Paul, TV producer and actor Miles, TV producer Simon Ross, music industry executive Adam and daughter Liza.
Martha, an actress and radio presenter, played a key role in steering her sons toward careers in the entertainment industry. Jonathan made his first television appearance at the age of 10 in a 1970 advert for Kellogg’s Rice Krispies, later going on to feature in a commercial for Persil laundry detergent.
He is now best known for hosting The Jonathan Ross Show and will make his return to screens tonight in Celebrity Traitors.
Expressing his admiration for the BBC programme, the broadcaster said: “I LOVE the show. I’ve watched all the versions around the world, and I love playing games. I’ve always wondered what it would be like to be in the castle.
“It’s one of those experiences that money can’t buy – to actually be in The Traitors after you’ve watched it so many times. Because, of course, we all watch at home, and I’m fascinated to see how it feels to be right in the middle of the action.
He added: “Also, because I don’t trust any celebrities, I think I’m going to assume they’re all Traitors!”
