Amanda Holden, 51, looked sensational as she wore a tight-fitting blue dress this morning while departing her radio show at Heart FM.

The Britain’s Got Talent judge paired her stylish outfit with a pink crossbody bag and matching blush stilettos as she strutted through Leicester Square.

The star had made her fans laugh this morning as she attempted to drink a whole can of Sprite without burping while hosting her radio show.

Amanda shared the clip on Instagram of her seemingly managing to drink most of the can without burping, before letting out an enormous belch, leading viewers to collapse in hysterics.

Callum_Campbell typed: “OMG Amanda that has made my morning ahahahah.”

While danlar08 remarked: “Put me off you that. Unfollowed.”

Despite the embarrassing gaffe, Amanda still managed to look chic as she wore her caramel tresses down in loose waves before exiting the building.

She was captured by photographers strutting through central London wearing black sunglasses to protect her eyes from the balmy skies.

BBC’s Deborah James, 40, shared to her Instagram followers that she had been able to arrive at her book launch “at the crack of dawn” due to her loving husband, Sebastien Bowen. The Bowel Babe broadcaster gushed over her “rock” Sebastien and how they are able to “swallow the tears” and enjoy the last part of her life together.

Deborah shared a picture of herself in a wheelchair with Sebastien kneeling down next to her outside RHS Garden before the crowds arrived.

The brave star wrote a heartfelt message to her followers as she gushed over his help as her new book launched.

She penned in view of her 756,000 followers: “Seb whisked me ( bit of a mission but worth it!) at the crack of dawn to @rhswisley before all the crowds., to say we’ll be done for the book launch, and it was just perfect for an hour.

“I haven’t left the house in 10 days as I have been too weak, and whilst I’m now going to snooze for most of the day (in the sun like a cat!) – I love this picture that reminds me of vibrant green life all around, despite the sadness of knowing the state of my body inside.

Danni Menzies, 32, shared a post documenting her time hanging out with her A Place In The Sun co-stars while in Leeds yesterday.

It appeared the cast were having a great time as they posed for a group photo including, Danni, Jonnie Irwin, Leah Charles King and Jean Johansson.

Jonnie, 48, looked trendy as he wore sunglasses and a black short-sleeved shirt as the boozy afternoon appeared to become raucous.

The father-of-three grabbed onto Danni’s thigh while she kicked her leg in the air and still managed to hold on to her glass of champagne.

The Scottish beauty was dressed ready for the soaring temperatures as she put on a bright green top and white skirt for the UK heatwave.

Meanwhile, Jean and Leah wowed in bright ensembles at the cast party.

He shared his latest antics with fans via the app, showing him visiting a dance studio and exclaiming that it was “lovely to see kids dancing in my hometown”.

Aljaz also posted a snap of his former school, describing the modest building as his “stomping ground from 96-03”.

Not only did he dance a little himself with the young students, but he also spent time with the kids, taking selfies and encouraging and motivating them in their career plans.

He continued the story in another Instagram slide, revealing: “Had a long overdue catch-up with my dance teachers that I owe everything I know about dance to.”

“If you’re not as daring then I think the softer pastel tones can be very flattering.”

Amanda’s spring campaign is in conjunction with Davina McCall, and together they have three edits; staycations, gardening, and family time.

Amanda also brings her risqué fashion to Britain’s Got Talent, as her outfits on the first episode of the 2022 series caused much discussion.

First up was a barbie pink latex midi dress, followed by a luminous yellow midi dress.

Speaking to Express.co.uk about the dress, she said: “I am thinking – more rubber.

“I enjoyed wearing latex at the auditions, so I am thinking more latex, more sweating in the live [shows]”, she joked.

Kay Mellor OBE, the English actress, scriptwriter and director, died on Sunday, May 15, leaving behind her husband, two daughters and four grandchildren, and a strong legacy in production. Following in her showbiz footsteps are her two daughters, Gaynor Faye and Yvonne Francas.

After falling pregnant at 16 with her first child Yvonne, Kay married the father, Anthony Mellor, when she was just 17.

On their wedding day, the vicar told her “it won’t last.” But the couple enjoyed 50 years of marriage until her “sudden and untimely” death last weekend.

It wasn’t long after they tied the knot that they welcomed their second daughter, Gaynor, in 1971 when Kay was 19.

Kay’s 30-year-career penning and acting in a number of hit TV shows may have inspired her daughters, as both have made a reputable mark in the entertainment industry, too.

Acting aside, Gaynor also participated in ITV’s Dancing on Ice with skate partner Daniel Whiston in 2006, and was the first ever to be crowned champion.

In September 2010, Gaynor also took part in ITV’s Loose Women as a guest panellist, followed by Lorraine a year after.

Most recently, Gaynor played Cheryl Armitage in the BBC One drama The Syndicate in March 2021.

Are Yvonne and Gaynor married?

Gaynor lives with long-term partner Mark Pickering, the journalist and broadcast commentator, in Leeds, West Yorkshire.

The couple have two children, Lily Mae and Oliver.

However, it’s not publicly known whether or not Yvonne is married, but her last name could suggest she might be.

Details also haven’t been published on her children, however, as per sources, Kay has four grandchildren; two of which would belong to Yvonne.

Amandine Petit, 24, looked amazing as she took to the red carpet in a see-through duck egg blue dress.

The dress’ ruffled detailing parted at the front, exposing the model’s toned pins.

However, the Miss France title holder suffered a wardrobe malfunction as the gown’s daring split was blown in the wind, exposing the model’s nude knickers.

The top of the dress featured a mesh corset style fit, further highlighting Amandine’s envious figure.

Amandine’s dress met on one shoulder, bringing elegance to her look.

She styled the gown with a silver headpiece, and silver stiletto heels, as well as silver stud earrings and rings.

To avoid taking attention away from her outfit choice, Amandine wore her hair slicked back in a tight bun.

Amandine currently holds the title for Miss France, having won in 2021, after previously being crowned Miss Normandy in 2020.

She represented France at Miss Universe 2020, where she placed in the Top 21.

The actress told lawyers she did not fear her partner would stab her with the blade. Depp’s attorney Camille Vasquez yesterday asked the actress about the knife she bought him for his birthday in 2012.

It was at this time she claims she began suffering physical abuse at his hands.

Ms Vasquez asked: “It was during this cycle of violence that you gave Mr Depp a knife?”

Heard, 36, replied: “I gave him a knife.” She added: “I wasn’t worried he was going to stab me with it.”

Jurors were shown the blade.

Depp, 58, is suing his ex-wife for libel over a 2018 article she wrote in The Washington Post, which his lawyers say falsely implies he physically and sexually abused her while they were together.

Ms Vasquez later played an audio recording of a fight between the couple in which both appeared to ridicule the other’s acting career.

On the recording, Heard said: “You’re a joke. You’re a joke.”

Depp said: “Your jealousy is so tragic.”

Later, Heard denied hitting her ex-girlfriend Tasya van Ree, and pulling off her necklace, at Seattle airport in 2009. She was not prosecuted over this claim.

The hearing in Fairfax, Virginia, continues.

The couple did not return after an afternoon break on the sixth day of the Wagatha Christie libel trial. It followed Coleen Rooney’s husband Wayne taking the stand for the first time and insisting that he was asked to talk to Jamie about his wife’s “media activities” during the Euro 2016 tournament.

Then in a dramatic development outside the court, Jamie’s representative issued a statement on behalf of the Leicester City footballer, 35, saying: “Wayne is talking nonsense.”

The statement added: “He must be confused because he never spoke to me about issues concerning Becky’s media work at Euro 2016. There was nothing to speak about.”

Wayne, 36, had told the court he was asked by then England manager Roy Hodgson and assistant manager Gary Neville to chat to Jamie and to request his wife to “calm down”.

He said: “Becky’s media activities were causing problems and distractions which the FA wanted to avoid.

“They asked me, as captain, would I be able to speak to Mr Vardy on issues regarding his wife.” Hugh Tomlinson QC, for Rebekah, said to Wayne: “Ask his wife to calm down? She wasn’t dancing on tables.”

He replied: “No, she wasn’t, as far as I’m aware.”

Wayne continued: “I carried out that instruction. It was an awkward situation but I felt it was in the best interests of the team.” He said he “100 per cent” spoke to Jamie but did not know if he spoke to his wife.

Coleen, 36, posted on social media in October 2019 she had carried out a “sting operation” and accused Rebekah, 40, of leaking “false stories” about her private life.

Wayne, England’s all-time record goalscorer, said he had no idea then about his wife’s social media claims.

But he added: “I now understand that Coleen uploaded various fake posts, including one about gender selection, one about returning to TV and one about our basement flooding, all of which were false, all of which were accessible only by Becky’s Instagram account.”

Rebekah denies leaking stories to the media and is suing for libel while Coleen defends the claim on the basis her post was “substantially true”.

The hearing continues.

Lorraine Kelly, 62, has spoken about her ITV co-star Kate Garraway’s husband, Derek Draper and given an update on his health in a new interview. The presenter described the news surrounding Covid as “dire,” but said that she tried to include light-hearted features on her show with a focus on kindness during the pandemic.

“There weren’t many bits of light in this whole terrible time.”

Speaking on the Spinning Plates podcast with Sophie Ellis-Bextor, she discussed how the heartbreaking news of Derek’s hospitalisation really “impacted” her.

The daytime TV show presenter explained: “Kate Garraway’s husband was one of the first to get really sick. He’s at home now.”

“Thank goodness he’s at home now, surrounded by his family, but it’s going to be a hard road…it’s going to be a hard, hard road.

“She’s remarkable.”

He has been faced with a devastating health battle ever since he was hospitalised with Covid in 2020.

Also on the podcast episode, the duo discussed ‘cancel culture’ and Lorraine spoke out about how she feels the phenomenon leaves people afraid to share their opinions in fear of a public backlash.

On Spinning Plates,Sophie interviews “busy working women, who also happen to be mothers”.

In 2021, Kate Garraway allowed cameras into her home as a documentary was being filmed, Finding Derek.
