Lockdown has caused Claudia Winkleman to pile on the pounds – but she insists she couldn't care less. The 49-year-old Strictly Come Dancing host admits she's put on weight over the past three months. But she has come up with a perfect way of dealing with it – turning the camera off on Zoom calls! The star has been opening up about lockdown life and says her two teenage children have been dishing up some wonderful meals. Jake, 17, and 14-year-old Matilda have kept Claudia and their dad Kris well fed and the telly favourite says that has come at a price. Claudia told The Sun : “I have definitely put on weight because I can no longer put on anything with a button or a zip. Any stiff closure is not going to work for me right now. "I don’t weigh myself and I don’t care. I just know that the jeans I was wearing in November would now no longer get on my arm. I am very relaxed about it, I genuinely am. “We like eating a lot as a family and we have the two teenagers … [Read more...] about Claudia Winkleman can no longer do up her zips after lockdown family meals

Ex-SNP boss Alex Salmond accuses his successor Nicola Sturgeon of failing Scotland
ALEX Salmond yesterday accused Nicola Sturgeon of failing Scotland. And he claimed her allies plotted to kill off his career in a “malicious scheme”. The former First Minister said Scotland was also not fit for independence with Ms Sturgeon as SNP leader . His Scottish Parliament inquiry evidence exposed the bitter civil war between the former friends before elections which could lead to another referendum. Allies of Miss Sturgeon face claims they tried to get ex-SNP chief Mr Salmond jailed over sex assaults. He was cleared at trial. Yesterday, Mr Salmond said he had no doubt Ms Sturgeon broke the ministerial code by misrepresenting a meeting where the allegations against him first surfaced.

Facebook warned UK ‘won’t shy away’ from cracking down on tech giant after Australian newsfeed ban
FURIOUS ministers warned Facebook they "won’t shy away" from cracking down on the tech giant in the wake of their Australian newsfeed ban. Culture Secretary Oliver Dowden said "nothing is off the table" - including billion pound fines - after he vowed to raise the "tech titans'" behaviour at this summer’s G7. The social media giant was blasted for blocking news content in Australia after they introduced a law forcing tech giants to pay for news content on their platforms. Yesterday, Mr Dowden spoke with former Deputy PM Nick Clegg who now works for Facebook to warn them over their behaviour. Mr Dowden said: “Tech titans have become the gatekeepers of online knowledge and the custodians of virtual public squares, and the government won’t shy away from intervening to protect the interests of the public when it needs to." He added: “Turning the tap off on news in a global pandemic was a concerning move which looked like Facebook was putting its bottom line above the … [Read more...] about Facebook warned UK ‘won’t shy away’ from cracking down on tech giant after Australian newsfeed ban
