They weathered the hype; got through the Big Day itself with tears only of joy, and then enjoyed a sun-drenched two-week honeymoon in the Maldives and Dubai.

And now it seems Mark Wright has firmly settled into a life of domestic bliss – so much so that he's ALREADY forgetting his wedding anniversary.

Taking to Instagram to part with a coveted never-before-shared image from their wedding day, in his caption he declared: "1 month today!! The happiest day of my life!"

Poor Mark, however, seems to be confused: he married Michelle Keegan, the 2015 reciprocate of FHM's World's Sexiest Woman title, on May 24… meaning his one-month milestone will, in fact, be celebrated on Wednesday.

Still, and while it's now back to reality for newlyweds, at least the groom appears to be as smitten as ever with his new wife.

And in the Instagram shot, the love-birds certainly look radiant. Holding hands as they turn towards the camera, the bride holds aloft in her left hand her beautiful bouquet of cream roses.

 

 

1 month today !! The happiest day of my life !!

The response from their fans was gushing too. "I wish I looked this fit on my wedding day!' said one. Another stated: "So beautiful!!! Wish you all best !!! So happy for you both. X"  

A third fan said: "Nicest photo ever," while a further user reported: "U both look amazing, fave couple eva x".

Although the incorrect date was picked up on by others. "I thought they got married on the 24th?" asked a fan. "Thought u got married on the 24th may or something?" chipped in another.

Michelle's dress, which was custom-designed by Israeli fashion house Galia Lahav in conjunction with the actress herself, can be seen in the same photograph perfectly complemented by her veil: a stunning creation from Italian designer, Peter Langner.

Yesterday, it was revealed that the Manchester-native has landed a new television role: she will play Georgia Lane in the BBC1 drama, Our Girl

And on Friday, Michelle was put in contact with her doppelganger, Entourage star Emmanuelle Chriqui, by 98FM's Laura Holland.

As funny as it was in the episode of OITNB when Alex (Laura Prepon) refers to the newest inmate Stella (Ruby Rose) as Justin Bieber, we didn't realise just how much they look alike until right now. 

The world’s hottest new obsession, Ruby Rose, is the absolute image of the Biebs.

The pair were seen hanging out yesterday backstage at the Avicii concert in Vegas. The Boyfriend singer and breakout actress were both there for the festival, Electric Daisy Carnival.

Ruby posted a photo with Justin to her Instagram and captioned it, “#twinning.”

And she really wasn’t exaggerating – they are identical! That is a whole load of pretty going on.

The 29-year-old actress became an overnight sensation when she debuted in the new series of Orange is the New Black.

She is engaged to Phoebe Dahl, the clothing designer who is also the granddaughter of the late children’s author, Roald Dahl.

While most press junket interviews tend to follow the same kind of format, every now and then you see one that makes you just want crawl into a hole and hide.

Think Tom Hardy’s recent Mad Max interview when he was asked if he wondered why there weren’t more men in the film, or the AWFUL interview with Quentin Tarantino and Channel 4 presenter, Krishnan Guru-Murthy.

And now we have the interview with the cast of Orange is the New Black and Brazilian journalist and comedian, Rafael Cortez to add to the list.

The interviewer went and asked some extremely condescending and inappropriate questions. As Natasha Lyonne so succinctly summarised – “I feel like it’s accidentally maybe a little bit misogynistic because it’s like ‘You’re so beautiful, what’s it like having to do all that acting?’”

The tone of the interview is almost so outrageous and inappropriate and Mr Cortez is in fact a comedian, we do have to wonder, was he joking all along?

What do you think?

With work keeping them apart, and a baby daughter to look after, it's no wonder that Blake Lively and Ryan Reynold's three-year marriage has reportedly been under a lot of strain in recent months.

But after maintaining a dignified silence in the face of continued split rumours, Blake today seemed to tell the world that she and her husband are as solid as ever.

Marking Ryan's very first Father's Day – James was born in December – Ms Lively posted a humorous message to her Instagram account.

With an accompanying image of a strapping-looking Mr Reynolds cradling his daughter in a harness, the 27-year-old actress wrote: "Happy Fathers Day!!! … @vancityreynolds.

"Since the day our baby was born, I've felt so strongly in my heart that you were most likely the father."

However, she countered the light-heartedness of the online memo with a touching hastag: #ILoveYouSoMuchItsSilly

The pair, who met on the set of Green Lantern in early 2010 and began dating in October 2011, have so far not released any pictures of their daughter.

Still, in Blake's shot from today, James's tiny sock-clad feet can be sticking out from the bottom of her harness. 

Last month, Ryan, 38, also shared on Instagram a snap of his hand and his daughter's intertwined. 

Both actors have spoken gushingly of their love of parenthood, though on a recent airing of the Tonight Show, Blake jokingly told host Jimmy Fallon that she does "everything". "He does nothing!" she added.

Today is a seriously exciting day for our favourite royal dad, Prince William.

Not only is he celebrating his second Father’s Day with his son Prince George, he is also celebrating his first Father’s Day with his new born daughter, Princess Charlotte.

And that’s not all, it is also the Duke of Cambridge’s 33rd birthday. If that’s not an excuse to celebrate we don’t know what is!

We have no doubt that this year the royal family celebrations will be a little more hushed than last year’s.

It was this time last year that we got to see the adorable photos of Prince George cheering on his dad in a polo match.

This was also the first time that we got to see the adorable baby Prince taking his first public steps, holding tentatively on to his mum’s hand all the way. So cute!

While chances of seeing the six week old Princess waddling around are seriously slim, we can at least hope that the family share some celebratory birthday/Father’s Day pics.

After seeing the outrageously adorable photos of two-year-old George at last week’s Trooping the Color ceremony, we are just dying for more!

It looks like TOWIE may be about to lose one of its founding members.

It has been reported that Jessica Wright, one of the longest starring people on the show, is planning on leaving after the current series.

Speaking to The Sun, an insider explained that “Jess has had a great run and it has opened a lot of doors for her.”

The source went on to explain the many different career options that the 28-year-old would have available to her when she did leave the show.

“She’s got a successful swimwear collection with Ann Summers, a deal to write novels and now she’s looking at other options in television.”

“She’s always wanted to give presenting a go and has built up a good set of contacts to make it happen,” the insider revealed. “There is plenty to keep her busy.”

The ex-girlfriend of Ricky Rayment will be by no means the first person to leave the show in recent years.

Michelle Keegan’s husband and Jessica’s brother, Mark Wright, left the show in 2011 after the third season, while their cousin Elliott quit when he moved to Spain. Although that did mean an exciting appearance on the Marbella special.

Ricky Rayment has also left the show and is now dating Geordie Shore’s Marnie Simpson. 

We're thinking maybe Chris Pratt's HILARIOUS impression has had something to do with her decision!

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has spoken out and condemned Apple’s new music streaming service.

The Shake it Off singer is widely recognised as not supporting streaming services, given that she pulled her music from Spotify in 2014.

The 25-year-old star has taken to Tumblr to voice her anger at Apple, who are now providing a three-month free subscription service to their customers.

Ms Swift’s dissatisfaction with the company comes, not because they are offering a free subscription, but because they do not intend to pay royalties to the artists during that three-month period.

Taylor explained her concerns saying, “This is not about me. Thankfully I am on my fifth album and can support myself, my band, crew, and entire management team by playing live shows.”

“This is about the new artist or band that has just released their first single and will not be paid for its success,” she continued. “This is about the young songwriter who just got his or her first cut and thought that the royalties from that would get them out of debt.”

Tay-Tay acknowledges that Apple is a company that she generally admires and enjoys working with but, states that she just cannot get behind their decision, and believes it is not “too late” for the tech-giants to reconsider.

“We don’t ask you for free iPhones. Please don’t ask us to provide you with our music for no compensation.”

Well said, Taylor!

The star of the new hit show Empire, Terrence Howard, has announced the birth of his baby son. 

The 46-year-old actor shared the first picture of his new bundle of joy this weekend. Although Terrence and his wife Miranda Howard, have only just announced the birth of their son, he was actually born four weeks ago.

The Crash star shared with fans the meaning of his son’s unusual name, which comes from the mythic Chinese creature, the qilin. He tweeted, “A mythical ½ dragon ½ lion who glides above the land so as not to harm even a blade of grass… meet Qirin Love!”

 

This is the first child for the couple, who married in 2013. Mr Howard has been married three times before, twice being to the same person.

The Iron Man star married Lori MCommas in 1989, and the couple had three children together. They divorced in 2003, remarried in 2005, and split again in 2007.

Terrence’s third marriage was to Michelle Ghent in 2010, but the couple divorced in 2013 when Ms Ghent accused her husband of abuse and obtained a restraining order against him.

The father of four is also a grandfather of one, as his daughter Aubrey had her first child in 2012.

And yes, this IS Michelle Keegan and NOT her Hollywood doppelgänger that we are talking about.   

The 28-year-old newlywed has just landed the role of Georgia Lane in BBC1’s drama, Our Girl. Michelle’s new lead role as Georgia will see her playing a female army medic in Kenya.

That is certainly a long way from the Rovers Return Inn!

The show is going into its second season, and Michelle is taking over the role from actress Lacey Turner. 

A spokesperson for BBC told the Sunday People that, “It won’t be an easy posting as she has to earn the love and trust of her fellow soldiers, and the greater respect of her commanding officer, while working alongside aid workers in the world’s biggest refugee camp.”

BBC execs were reportedly very impressed with Ms Keegan’s acting skills on Ordinary Lies, where she played a drug mule.

A source from BBC explained their casting choice, saying that the former Corrie star is “talented and hugely popular.”

It’s a good thing that Michelle and new hubby Mark Wright enjoyed their honeymoon because it looks like she is in for some seriously hard work!

We don’t think Donald Trump is going to be too happy with this one!

Russell Simmons, the hip-hop mogul and fashion designer, has come out and said that he thinks Kim Kardashian would be more suited to the White House than presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

The 57-year-old former husband of Kimora Lee Simmons took to Twitter to admit that he believes Kim would do a better job of running the country than notorious businessman, Donald Trump.

“Kim K being better president then Trump? he tweeted. “A sweet compassionate celebrity is better than a conservative angry one. No diss on either person.”

 

Russell then went on to say in an interview with HuffPost Live that he thinks Mr Trump doesn’t have as much influence as the most famous Kardashian.

“She would probably be a better president, in my opinion.”

Since announcing his candidacy, Donald Trump has come under a lot of (hilarious) scrutiny – mostly about his hair rather than his politics.

And some of the celeb tweet’s about it are just hysterical.

 

 

Do you think Kim would make a better president than Trump? She certainly wins in the hair department anyway.

Lily Allen was caught in a gas explosion when she was in a campervan and the stove exploded.

The mum of two posted a photo of her face to Instagram, showing minor burns and singed eyelashes. She urged her fellow festival goers to be extra careful, to avoid the same terrifying experience.

“I was in a gas explosion in my caravan today and I synged my eyelashes considerably,” the Not Fair singer explained.

 

“It was absolutely terrifying and I wouldn’t want anyone to go through anything similar,” she continued. “Please be SO careful using gas stoves at anytime but especially during festival season when ones reaction times may be a little off.”

Thankfully Lily’s injuries weren’t any more serious. As she said, “Feeling very grateful to be alive.”
