She's spent six years at the helm of BBC Radio 2's flagship programme, but Zoe Ball has now announced that she will be leaving the channel's breakfast show. The long-standing presenter, 53 – who is mum to Woody, 23, and Nelly, 14, with ex-husband DJ Norman Cook (AKA Fatboy Slim) – revealed that she'd be stepping down from the show at the end of the year in order to focus on her family. Speaking live on air, Zoe explained, ‘After six years of fun times alongside you all on the breakfast show, I've decided it's time to step away from the early alarm call and start a new chapter.’ The presenter, who was the first female host of the breakfast shows on Radio 1 and 2, will be replaced on…

Ensuring Coleen Rooney doesn't have the last word in the jungle, fellow WAG Rebekah Vardy has hit back at her nemesis over her I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! appearance. Writing in her column for The Sun, former campmate Rebekah, 42 – who was the third star to be voted out during her stint on the ITV show in 2017 – said that watching Coleen's canoe capsize in the first episode was ‘the gift that keeps on giving’. And, after hosts Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly repeatedly mocked her highly publicised libel lawsuit, she posted a bikini pic online, which she captioned, ‘That feeling when you are living rent-free in people's heads.’…

EastEnders star Cheryl Fergison has revealed that she was forced to use food banks after leaving the soap. The star, 60, spoke candidly on This Morning about her previous financial struggles after leaving Albert Square behind in 2012 and being ‘conned out of a humongous amount of money’. Cheryl, who was diagnosed with womb cancer in 2015, even compared herself to her on-screen character Heather Trott. ‘My life paralleled her a little bit, including things like going to the food bank which is something that Heather would have done,’ she said.…

Becks strips off Keeping warm amid the sudden temperature drop in the UK, David Beckham enjoyed a steamy sauna trip. The football legend, 49, left little to the imagination as he posed in his pants, captioning the post ‘Friday reset’. Elton's trim figure Elton John showed off his surprising weight loss while attending the launch of his new Broadway musical. The Rocket Man singer, 77, played his last ever UK shows last year, but looked svelte and slim in a pink ribbed suit and chunky necklace at the opening night of Tammy Faye.

As the handsome man sitting across from me told me tales of all the far-flung places he'd been to, I smiled. His name was Crispin Ellison and we were on a date. Ever since a friend had introduced us, we'd clicked immediately. I was divorced from my daughters’ father and wasn't expecting to meet anyone new, but as time passed and we got closer, my relationship with Crispin felt right. Eighteen months later, in June 1998, we got married and I was excited for our future together. Crispin was an avid skier and would often go on skiing holidays with friends, but during a holiday in 2015, he kept falling over. It wasn't like him, so when he got home he went to the doctor. When he got his test…

TV interview Jack Whitehall is certainly bringing the festive cheer with his new seasonal special. A mix of scripted comedy and unscripted travelogue, the show sees him stranded in the States with just four days to make it back to the UK for Christmas. What happens next is an incredible journey with planes, trains, huskies, and bobsleighs – with plenty of ‘80s movie references thrown in too. Plus he's joined by Michael Bublé, Rebel Wilson, Daisy May Cooper and Tom Davis, among other famous faces, on his epic trip. Making the show took a whole 12 months as Jack jetted out to film scenes when celebs had space in their diaries – he even had to wear a wig at some points because his hair was chopped off for a…

CELEB NEWS & GOSSIP With Davina McCall's shock brain tumour operation having thankfully gone well, insiders tell Bella that the experience has made her think seriously about her future with partner Michael Douglas.

Stacey Solomon had the time of her life as she jetted off for a girls’ weekend in Las Vegas, just days after her rumoured teary fight with husband Joe Swash. After the couple, who tied the knot in 2022, were reportedly seen arguing on the streets, Stacey headed on a luxury trip across the pond, where she enjoyed a night out to see Adele perform. The pair even shared a hug as the singer, 36, spotted the Loose Women star, 35, in the crowd. However, it seemed all was well again between the couple, as Joe was on hand with their kids to pick Stacey up from the airport upon her return.…

It's fair to say Holly Willoughby has largely kept out of the limelight in the past year. Following the kidnapping plot against her, her decision to leave This Morning last October and various filming commitments, she has not been seen out and about much. However, that is all about to change with some of her big upcoming projects, and it seems that they have one side effect she perhaps hadn't anticipated – it gets her own back on former colleague Phillip Schofield. Phil seemed determined not to fade away quietly with his return to TV on Channel 5's Cast Away and his seeming attacks on former co-host Holly Willoughby. Last month it was claimed that Phil, 62, had branded Holly a ‘witch’ following the fallout from his ITV axeing. He…

At primary school, my favourite lunches were turkey drummers and chips, burgers and pizza, and when I was old enough to walk home by myself, I'd call in at the local McDonald's or KFC before eating whatever meal my mum had cooked. Most days I was having two dinners and I was much bigger than my friends. My real weakness was snacking. I loved crisps, chocolate and popcorn and I'd eat bag after bag every day. I especially loved Maltesers and would always have a share bag to myself. As a teenager, at just 5ft 2in, I wore a size 18. I briefly slimmed down at the age of 16 when I became conscious of boys and clothes by cutting down on the snacks, but that didn't last long. In…

They will miss out on children Q My daughter has been in a serious relationship for about six years and they've lived together for five. She's about to turn 30. She has a great job, and her boyfriend has a job that pays a little less, but he is very passionate about it. I think generally speaking, he's a good guy, but she definitely wants to have children soon, and he seems to be dragging his feet. He's an only child from a wealthy family and seems to be on a different timescale to her. He wants them to go travelling around the world and then buy a ‘doer-upper’. Goodness knows how long it would take to turn it into a home. I think her biological clock is starting to…
