Tony Hadley lashed out at his former Spandau Ballet band mates during Monday’s Loose Women, claiming they made his life ‘impossible’. The frontman announced he quit Spandau Ballet in 2017 , eight years after they reunited following their 1990 split. The band, which also consisted of brothers Gary and Martin Kemp, John Keeble and Steve Norman, were easily one of the best-selling groups of the 1980s, going on to shift millions of records with hits including Gold and True. However, shortly after Tony’s departure, the band recruited Ross William Wild as their new frontman but their reformation didn’t last much longer and they called it quits again in 2019. Following two years of not being able to tour due to the pandemic, Loose Women panslist Jane Moore said it was sad Tony wasn’t hitting the road with the rest of the group. ‘Well, I totally agree with you,’ he replied. ‘I think it’s sad we’re not going out as Spandau Ballet but I’ve never said what it is [why he …

The comedian’s Netflix special, His Dark Material, launches on Christmas Day and he shared a teaser for the show which has already divided followers on social media, obviously.

The TV presenter was forced to leave the Welsh castle last week after being taken to hospital when he fell ill. ITV explained that he was unable to rejoin his campmates due to Covid health and safety measures as he had broken the bubble by going into hospital. Recalling what caused him to fall ill, Richard told Susanna Reid and Ben Shephard on Good Morning Britain: ‘I think what happened to me is I think I got dehydrated, that’s all it was. Dehydration, if anyone’s ever suffered from it, is actually quite disturbing. It’s not a pleasant thing. ‘I think I’d been up for about 20 hours and the day before that before that we were having very long days and sleeping before that.

Tilly Ramsay became the ninth celebrity to be eliminated from Strictly Come Dancing , narrowly missing out on a place in the show’s quarter final. She found herself in the dreaded dance-off yet again but failed to convince the show’s judges, Craig Revel Horwood , Anton Du Beke , Shirley Ballas and guest judge Cynthia Erivo, she should remain in the competition. Instead, all four judges chose to save CBBC star Rhys Stephenson. Saturday’s show saw Tilly take on the Samba but she found herself at the bottom of the leader board despite a fantastic effort with her Latin routine. Tonight saw both couples performing their routines again, with Rhys and his partner Nancy Xu performing their Waltz to You Light Up My Life by Whitney Houston, which received huge praise the night before. But it was Tilly’s time to wave goodbye to the dazzling dancefloor as she departs with dance partner Nikita Kuzmin. Guest judge Cynthia called the decision ‘really difficult’ before …

For many of us, Wizkid has provided the soundtrack to our year and the song of our summer, so to finally see him live on stage at London ’s O2 Arena in the most successful era of his career yet was as big a release as being freed from lockdown. After all, his masterpiece, Made In Lagos, released in October 2020, did keep us going during those lockdown days, giving us a bit of sun in a period of uncertainty. Starboy’s own moment in the sun – in this case the O2 Arena stage – was as glorious as we’d imagined it to be. The hype surrounding Wizkid’s three dates at the iconic venue was so great that tickets for the first show made history after selling out in 12 minutes. That’s enough pressure for anyone to live up to but Wizkid’s confidence is bold enough to make it seem like he’s done this 10 times already. Hailing from Lagos, Nigeria, the musician has become one of those artists whose songs are so mighty they quite literally speak for themselves. Just the opening …
