Kate Garraway has been sharing an insight into her husband Derek’s health after he returned to hospital. 

The Good Morning Britain presenter’s husband became seriously ill after getting Covid-19 towards the beginning of 2020 and Kate has been keeping fans up-to-date of Derek’s health ever since.

After spending over a year in hospital, Derek is still recovering from his illness with Kate as his carer. 

As Christmas nears and the family prepares for Derek to spend the festive day at home. Kate has spoken to OK! about his latest hospitalisation and shares an update on his health. 

She explained, “Derek’s in hospital having some treatment. It’s not an emergency thing, it’s not a dramatic rush back into intensive care thank goodness – it’s something that started last year that we hope will lead to improvement”.

“I’ve managed to get it in before the end of the year. It’s something we were trying to do in the summer but you know there are referrals and time and all of those things.”

As Derek now suffers from mobility issues and communication difficulties following his illness, Kate opened up about any changes that have occurred recently. 

“Every day we wait and see. There isn’t a dramatic improvement, but touch wood things haven’t gone backwards either. So we’re adjusting to a new normal”.

Kate then revealed how she and Derek plan to celebrate Christmas this year with their two children and extended family. 

Sharing that she will host their family in their London home, the 56-year-old admitted, “It’s a practical solution because it’s quite challenging for Derek to travel”.

“So it’s easier for people to come to us, which means they have to suffer my cooking!”.

Kate continued, “We’ll just get as much of the family, the Drapers and the Garraways, together – even if it’s not all on one day”.

“We’re treating it as a four or five day season this year, so I’m going to be doing a lot of cooking. My mum and dad have already sorted the turkey from a farm where they live”.

Rochelle Humes has revealed her husband Marvin’s full ‘letter from home’!

JLS singer Marvin has currently spent the last few weeks away from his wife and three children – Alaia-Mai (10), Valentina (6) and Blake (3) – as he continues his stint on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!

As this Sunday’s final looms, viewers watched last night as each campmate received a letter from their loved ones. 

Following the emotional episode, Rochelle has now chosen to unveil her full letter to Marvin.

Taking to social media, the former star of The Saturdays posted the letter she sent into the Australian jungle.

“My Marv, hey baby. I'm writing this bursting with pride,” Rochelle began, adding: “I wish I could jump into the tv and give you a squeeze.”

“I knew you would get stuck in and it fills me with joy to see that you have made friends for life in camp. Although… I need you to let me know if Sam is moving in with us when you are back so I can sort the spare room,” she joked, referring to Made In Chelsea alum Sam Thompson.

“I can't tell you how many times we have watched you jumping out of the plane. Valle even cried 'happy tears'. The kids are SO proud of you baby, I've got my work cut out to try and impress them now,” the 34-year-old mum continued.

Giving Marvin a brief update, Rochelle penned: “Nothing has changed here… the chaos is as chaotic as ever. It was the girls' parents' evening this week, and as you can guess they are absolutely smashing it!”

The This Morning host went on to share that she wants Marvin to continue “for as long as possible”, joking: “In saying that…I am so over the school run and Alaia's maths homework has taken a major dip with me in charge.”

“Lots for you to work on while I am hiding in a spa somewhere on your return,” she teased, later signing off: “Roch, Lai Lai, Valle and Blake x”.

I'm A Celebrity continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1.

Frankie Dettori has broken his silence after being eliminated from I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here. 

The jockey was the first famous face to be eliminated from the jungle after he received the least amount of public votes last night. 

As he settles back into life away from his campmates, Frankie has spoken out on social media about his experience on the show for the first time since leaving.

The 52-year-old took to Instagram to share a video for his 170K followers, which he simply captioned “Thank you”.

In the clip, Frankie was soaking up the Australian sunshine as he said, “Hi everyone. Just to say, I’m out of the jungle. It was an amazing experience”.

“Thank you for all your support. Love you all. I can’t reply to all the messages but I’m going to see you all soon and thank you again”, he added as he blew a kiss to the camera. 

Dettori also shared photos from his time in the jungle, with some snaps showing him taking part in a trail with Nick Pickard, and others of Frankie with his wife Catherine as they reunited after his departure from camp. 

He wrote, “The jungle journey is over, loved it!”. 

Many of Frankie’s fans headed to the comments to reveal how shocked they were that Frankie was the first to leave the show.

One fan penned, “Gutted for were voted out, you were brilliant, well done Frankie xx”.

“Sad to see you go but hope you can enjoy yourself now!”, wrote another viewer. 

A third fan added, “Gutted your our already Frankie, you were a total gem. Well done”.

After it was announced that Frankie didn’t receive enough votes to keep him in the jungle, I’m a Celeb unveiled some wonderful images from his time on the programme and penned a sweet tribute on Instagram. 

Alongside pictures of Frankie in camp, they wrote, “He may have been a late entry but Frankie Dettori certainly made up for lost time, facing his fears and quickly becoming a stable source of support for his fellow Campmates. Here are just a few of his best moments along the way”.

Amy Hart is celebrating an exciting milestone for her baby boy. 

The former Love Island star welcomes her first child into the world in March of this year with her fiancé Sam Rason.

As little Stanley turns nine months old, Amy decided to mark the special occasion by showcasing an emotional video that features special moments from the last few months. 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A post shared by Amy Hart (@amyhartxo)

The clips show sweet footage of Amy with her blossoming baby bump while she was still expecting Stanely, as well as cute clips from throughout her first-born’s nine months of life. 

Baby Stanley can be seen as a newborn, as well as trying food, crawling and swimming with Amy and Sam by his side. 

Hart unveiled the video to her 1.1M Instagram followers and set it to the moving song To Build A Home by The Cinematic Orchestra and Patrick Watson. 

She captioned the post, “9 months in and then 9 months out! I know the trend is to do two photos but I wanted to make a little montage of the most magical 9 months!”.

“I wasn’t emotional until I put the ‘This Is Us’ song on it. We watched the whole thing in the last few weeks of my pregnancy and the first few weeks of Stanley’s life, the song just reminds me of the baby bubble and I can’t believe it was 9 months ago!!”.

Amy closed off by admitting, “I know I always say it but being a mum is the best thing ever and I feel so lucky to have our funny boy, 3 months til he’s 1, whaaaat!”.

Dyson unveils their new Onyx Gold colourway, adding to their range of award-winning hair care tools, available in the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler and Dyson Supersonic hair dryer.

Drawing from themes such as luxury, style, and opulence, this new palette sees your Dyson hair care favourites take on a whole new look. Combining science and style, Onyx Gold gives beauty enthusiasts the opportunity to experience the pinnacle of luxury and performance in their haircare routine.

With sleek dark lines, a contrast of striking gold, and a pop of red, Onyx Gold is finished in ultra-matte Onyx and satin finished Gold. This marks another exciting innovation of colour and material by Dyson’s Colour, Materials and Finishes (CMF) designers and engineers.

Included in the latest Onyx Gold collection:

Dyson Supersonic hair dryer

Engineered for all hair types, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer is powerful and fast. The tool uses a fast but focused airflow, is engineered for balance in the hand, is quieter than others and intelligently controls the temperature to help protect hair from heat damage.

Unlike traditional hair dryers, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer measures air temperature 40 times a second to regulate temperature output. Featuring Dyson’s intelligent heat control technology, the Dyson Supersonic hair dryer prevents extreme heat damage, to help protect hair’s shine.

The Dyson Supersonic hair dryer in Onyx Gold is priced at £329.99/ €399.

Dyson Airwrap multi-styler

The Dyson Airwrap multi-styler has been re-engineered for faster, easier styling. It also features Dyson’s intelligent heat control technology, allowing users to achieve their desired style at a lower temperature, preventing hair from heat damage.

At the heart of the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler sits the Dyson digital motor, which helps create a phenomenon known as the Coanda effect. The motor generates power to create a high-speed jet of air that flows across the surface of the Dyson Airwrap multi-styler attachments. Due to differences in pressure, the air flow attaches itself to the surface, creating what’s known as the Coanda effect. Taking advantage of this principle, Dyson’s team of aerodynamicists created a way to style hair using this airflow combined with heat. The result, whether choosing to curl, wave, smooth or rough dry hair, creates a natural look with a sleek finish.

Each Dyson Airwrap multi-styler can be customised with a range of attachments to suit the user’s hair type, length, and style.

Emma Sheldon, Vice President of CMF Design said: “With the Onyx Gold collection, we are offering our customers a transformative experience that combines state-of-the-art technology with a touch of elegance. With its ceramic finish, the tools are beautiful to use and hold. The Onyx Gold range has a precision-applied satin paint topcoat for durability and an opulent texture to reflect the newest colourway."

Dyson’s colour palettes are engineered as carefully as our machines and in hair care, a bold testing ground for colour, CMF designers create new hues, finishes and combinations to evolve and expand our colourway portfolio.

In 2017, Dyson established its first dedicated Colours, Materials and Finishes (CMF) team, initially to contribute to the design of an Electric Vehicle project and now working across all categories.

Colours, Materials and Finishes at Dyson are designed and engineered to enhance the technology and product experience. Dyson continues to innovate in material development and is constantly experimenting with new looks and designs for its range of products.

Onyx Gold

Complementing the new Onyx Gold colourway is an ultra-matte finish which was achieved through precision-applied satin paint topcoats, to offer a smooth soft touch texture and an easier grip for the user.

The CMF team at Dyson constantly strive to cater to the demands of the Dyson user. Onyx Gold was designed to feel luxurious, timeless, elegant, and sleek. The Onyx base coat contrasts with red button accents to evoke a sense of power. The quality of Onyx Gold’s ceramic feel on the finish with hints of gold won’t go unnoticed. Crafted with the utmost care and attention to detail, these products are designed to deliver exceptional results for precision styling, while enhancing the natural beauty of all hair types.

Material innovation and testing

Materials and finishes, just like the machines themselves, undergo rigorous testing which include rub and scratch resistance tests to ensure the finishes withstand the demands of daily use and meet the high expectations of owners.

Tensile tests

Destructive tensile tests of material samples provide information on the mechanical properties of our plastic, composite, and recycled materials.

Abrasion and scratch tests

Abrasion and scratch tests are carried out to simulate everyday wear and tear. This process evaluates the durability and reliability of our finishes.

Micro-level colour finish

Our engineering labs have the latest digital and scanning electron microscopes that allow our engineers to precisely apply our colour finishes.

Dyson’s Onyx Gold range is now available soon from Dyson Demo Stores, Dyson.co.uk and Dyson.ie,

The final trailer for the sixth season of The Crown has been released. 

The Crown Season 6: Part 2 will be the final chapter in Peter Morgan’s award-winning drama about the royal family. 

Streaming on December 14, these final episodes will focus on life after the tragic death of Princess Diana. 

During the trailer, the public’s distaste for the monarchy is noted as surveys reveal the majority of the public believe the royal family are ‘out of touch, wasteful of money and lacking compassion’.

The rise of Tony Blair’s popularity is evident while tensions between Charles and William are shown when The Prince of Wales admitted, “I’m afraid we don’t do fathers and sons very well in this family”, as his young son walks away from him. 

Camilla can later be seen on the phone with Charles as she tells him, “The boys need you now more than ever”.

The snippet also shows Prince William as he heads to St Andrew’s University and tries to readjust to life without his mum. With even more public attention on him and Harry than ever before, the young monarch is clearly struggling with his new-found royal duties.

Viewers can see a first look at Kate Middleton, played by Meg Bellamy, as she walks in a student fashion show and locks eyes with William before they share a kiss as their romance blossoms.

While the Queen questions the future of the monarchy as she is preparing for her Golden Jubilee, Phillips tells her, “When fate summons, even monarchs must obey”. Princess Margret's ill-health is later depicted in the trailer as she is in a hospital bed. 

The remaining six episodes of The Crown will air on Netflix on December 14, a month after Part 1 premiered on the streaming platform back in November. 

Watch the full trailer below:
