Gemma Collins could be returning to the jungle. The former TOWIE star, 44, is in talks to appear for I’m a Celebrity All Stars, 11 years after she famously quit the reality show after 72 hours as she declared, ‘I don’t think I’m going to be able to do this jungle lark. Murderers get treated better than this.’ An insider revealed, ‘She hated it first time round but knows it would be TV gold if she gave it another go.’ Gemma has said she’d like to face her fears again, saying, ‘Everything would be different a second time. I’d do the tasks. I’m not scared of anything.’…

First bursting onto the presenting scene in the ’80s, Jenny Powell has enjoyed a career spanning four decades. But the radio and TV host, 57, shows no signs of slowing down. After recently landing a show on Greatest Hits Radio’s new ’80s channel, Jenny says it’s a chance for her to share memories from her life and career. ‘People are very nostalgic -everybody’s looking back and remembering the good times. We look fondly at our youth, and a lot of that has to do with music,’ she says. ‘I’m quite proud of myself’ Now, Jenny – who is mum to Constance, 24, and Pollyanna, 16, with ex-husband Toby Baxendale – opens up to Bella about her hysterectomy last October, some of her career highlights, and why she won’t shy away…

Growing up, I had no idea my childhood was any different to other children my age. I lived with my sister, two brothers and our mum and dad, sometimes in a caravan or a hotel, and once even a car. Then in 1989, my dad disappeared from our lives and social services became involved. They told Mum she wasn’t able to care for four children alone, so my older brother and sister were adopted by different families. Mum still struggled looking after me and my brother so we were in and out of foster and care homes. Our chaotic lifestyle continued into my teens when I got my first job in a petrol station. I knew most children my age didn’t work, but I liked it because it was an…

It’s been a year since daytime TV’s golden couple split up, but while Eamonn Holmes is in a new relationship, Ruth Langsford is avoiding men completely and concentrating on her career. A source has told us, ‘She’s said she’s sworn off men for the moment. Everything she’s focusing on is around her career – she’s building an empire so that she and her son Jack can live a life of luxury.’ Ruth and Eamonn, both 65, presented This Morning together from 2006 to 2022, with Ruth being the longest serving presenter on the ITV breakfast show after she started as a guest presenter back in 2000. Since they were replaced as regular hosts by Alison Hammond and Dermot O’Leary, Ruth’s TV career has continued to soar and she has remained…

We're supposed to be together! Q I was with my boyfriend for four years. We were both approaching our mid-30s when he broke up with me and I’ve no idea why. I had previously been in an abusive relationship and he was the complete opposite. He was kind, thoughtful and was always keen to see me. We’ve been to lots of weddings over the past couple of years, and I was hoping that it would be our turn soon because my biological clock is ticking away. I started hinting (so he knew he’d get a ‘yes’ if he proposed!) but he didn’t join in the conversation, and would even change the subject. Then, he ended the relationship, using the old ‘it’s me not you’ line. I mean, what am I supposed…

More than two years after his explosive memoir Spare was published, Prince Harry is said to be preparing to release its follow-up. Insiders claimed that the sequel could inflict even more lasting damage, on his brother William, father Charles, and lead to even more tension between the Sussexes and the monarchy. The new book is expected to contain fresh insight into the strained relationship between Harry, 40, and his wife Meghan Markle with his brother and sister-in-law, Prince William and Kate Middleton, our future King and Queen. ‘Some information includes details on William’s thoughts about the Royal Family and the future of the monarchy,’ said the source. ‘It could be extremely damaging for him, especially as he’s next in line to the throne.’ ‘My family wouldn’t forgive me’ The insider…

Glancing over at my 12-year-old daughter Alyssa, my heart sank. Her face was illuminated by the phone screen she was staring intently at, but her expression was anything but bright. I knew she was being picked on at school, but the all-consuming nature of social media meant she never got a break. It was 2021 and, although my partner Chris and I had implemented rules to only use her phone downstairs so we could keep an eye on her, I was still terrified about the messages she was receiving. Alyssa had lost her spark and become a shell of her former self. It was heartbreaking to see my usually bright and bubbly girl like this. When Alyssa was born in February 2009, I was smitten. I’d had my daughter, Daniella,…
