Bobby Brazier and Dianne Buswell have broken their silence after this week’s Strictly Come Dancing. 

EastEnders star Bobby is currently competing in the hit BBC show with professional dancer Dianne, and the duo have been delighting fans each week with their dances. 

However, viewers quickly began to express concerns about the stars during Saturday night’s show, as the pair appeared to be in a low mood.

Now, after sailing through to next week’s show, Bobby and Dianne have finally spoken out about this weekend.

In a video dedicated to their fanbase, Dianne took to her Instagram account with Bobby to address their performance.

“Thank you so much for voting for us so that we can stay around for another week longer,” Bobby began.

“We are very very grateful for all the votes. We’re going to continue to work hard like you do every week,” Dianne addressed the 20-year-old actor.

Bobby then went on to detail how he thinks he has been progressing throughout Strictly so far.

“I feel like I’m maturing as a professional,” he explained. “We’re starting from the bottom of the barrel, so we’re slowly building up my professionalism and my work ethic.”

“It is a hard thing to master. To learn to dance in such a short amount of time is so, so hard. You’ve learned a Tango in four days – that’s madness,” Dianne exclaimed.

“I think next week, we can come out and bring a bit more ‘Bobby’,” the 34-year-old professional concluded, referring to the judges’ feedback.

In the comments section of their video, fans of the Strictly pairing have since been expressing their well-wishes.

“Are you both OK? You both didn’t seem anywhere near ur normal happy selfs,” one viewer replied.

“I really do hope Bobby is okay he hasn’t looked himself this weekend!” another penned.

“love you guys!!!! can't wait for week 5, hopefully we will see you both smile again,” a third fan added.

Strictly Come Dancing continues this Saturday on BBC One at 6:35pm.

Neil Jones and Chyna Mills have finally revealed the name of their first child!

Earlier this month, the Strictly Come Dancing professional and former Love Island bombshell announced that they had welcomed their first child together.

Now, two weeks on from becoming parents, Neil and Chyna have unveiled the name of their little one, and the meaning behind it.

In an interview with Hello!, the couple – who are also engaged to be married – declared that their daughter’s name is Havana Jones. Proud dad Neil then went on to explain the reason behind it.

"Cuba is the home of dance and very multicultural so it was perfect; it sums us up,” the 41-year-old teased, adding that he and Chyna are "running on not much sleep and pure joy.”

The new parents confirmed that their baby girl was born on October 2. Chyna then went on to note that Havana is already a fan of the hit BBC dancing show.

"We've been watching Neil on Strictly from home. I told her: 'Look, it's Daddy on the screen' and at that moment, she did these little smiles with her eyes closed,’” the 24-year-old gushed.

When it comes to his daughter’s future, Neil concluded: "It would be amazing if she wants to be a dancer, but she can be whatever she wants to be.”

Following Havana’s name reveal, the pair jointly took to Instagram to share a sweet snap with the caption: “We’re excited to introduce our baby girl to you all.”

Several of Neil’s fellow Strictly professional dancers have since taken to the comments section of the couple’s post to share their well-wishes.

“Beautiful,” added Katya Jones, who was also previously married to Neil.

On October 2, Neil and Chyna confirmed the arrival of their first child with a black-and-white snap of their newborn’s feet. 

“Our hearts are so full,” they wrote at the time, with Neil later going on to reveal live on Strictly that they had welcomed a daughter.

Over the past 14 years, IKEA Ballymun has become a beloved destination for customers across Ireland and has become one of the world’s busiest. A remarkable 3,000,000 people visited the store last year. In the last 12 months alone, IKEA bolstered its Irish presence by opening four Plan & Order Points across the country. Additionally, plans for a cutting-edge Customer Distribution Centre in west Dublin were unveiled, set to create 120 new jobs and enhance IKEA’s customer experience. This facility will significantly be cutting delivery lead times in half. Furthermore, IKEA's collaboration with Tesco Ireland led to the launch of nine mobile pick-up points with more to be rolled out later this year, adding accessibility and sustainability options for customers to conveniently collect their orders.

As part of IKEA Ballymun’s 40 millionth customer celebrations, IKEA Ballymun will host a special ‘Golden Ticket’ giveaway from October 16th to October 18th between 9.45am and 4pm each day, providing customers with 15 chances, 5 chances per day, to win IKEA vouchers ranging from €50 to €500.

Please keep in mind that each customer is eligible to find a maximum of one 'Golden Ticket' during this competition and must be at least 18 years of age to qualify as a winner.

Miranda Lyons, Communication and Interior Design Manager who joined the IKEA store when it opened in 2009, shares: “It's been an incredible journey watching IKEA Ballymun evolve into a cherished hub for our amazing customers throughout Ireland. Since my journey began in 2009, the growth has been astonishing, and it's an honour to be a part of this transformation and to celebrate our 40 millionth customer at the store. Being an IKEA co-worker is more than a job; it's an experience filled with inclusivity, creativity, and a lot of fun. IKEA has allowed me to witness firsthand the positive impact we have on people's lives and homes every day. Here's to many more years of making homes brighter and hearts happier!"

And if that isn't enough, IKEA is launching a new 85c plant-based version of its much-loved Hot Dog – it's on sale on the 16th of October too!

This new line will have you wanting to snuggle up for an Autumnal evening at home."

To help homeowners get ready for the new season and maximise spaces, Bronagh shares her top tips to help transform your home this AW:

Seasonal Refresh:

"Update rugs to warmer colours and use faux fur throws for a cozy autumn vibe. Our Woodie's textured border grey rug or our chunky large Jute help reflect the warmth and cosiness of the autumn season."

Colour Psychology:

"If you are looking to create a harmonious atmosphere choose calming greens and earthy tones. This can evoke feelings of balance and harmony. It's often used in spaces where relaxation and concentration are important, such as bedrooms and offices."

Small Space Solutions:

"Light paint colours and multipurpose furniture create the illusion of space. For a small bedroom, replace side tables with wall-mounted shelves and hang a pendant light for a soft bedside glow. Try multipurpose items, such as our Madrid shoe cabinet, perfect to optimise space in any hallway."

Indoor Greenery:

"Indoor plants add beauty and a connection to nature; consider artificial options for low maintenance such as the Woodie's artificial olive tree, which adds Mediterranean elegance – just pop it in a stylish basket to finish the look!"

Rented Spaces:

"Large rugs and personal decor items like vases and candles help personalize rented spaces."

Jada Pinkett Smith has shared her own insight into the night Will Smith slapped Oscars host Chris Rock.

During last year’s Academy Awards ceremony, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star walked on stage and slapped the comedian, after jokes were made about Jada’s alopecia hair loss.

Now, almost two years after the monumental moment, the Madagascar actress has addressed how she felt as it was happening.

Jada recently took part in an interview with NBC News, to promote her upcoming memoir, Worthy. 

During the conversation, interviewer Hoda Kotb noted that Jada appeared bothered by Chris’ jokes about her, as she was seen rolling her eyes.

“I did that eye roll not so much for me – and I think this is really important – but the fact that there could be a jab at alopecia,” the 52-year-old explained.

Before Will left his seat to slap Chris on stage, the cameras followed a brief interaction between the pair, which included the Aladdin actor shouting: “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth!” 

Recalling the tense moment, Jada confessed that she felt baffled, not by Chris’ jokes, but by Will referring to her as his ‘wife’. The Red Table Talk presenter revealed earlier in her interview that she has been separated from Will since 2016, and that they were “not ready yet” to announce it at the time of the Oscars.

“First of all, I’m really shocked, because mind you, I’m not there. We haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time,” she detailed.

“I’m really worried for Will because I don’t know what’s going on,” she added, as she thought back to that night.

Although they are now living “completely separate lives,” Jada confirmed that she will not be seeking a divorce from Will.

“I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through… whatever. I just haven’t been able to break that promise,” she concluded.

Kourtney Kardashian has revealed how her recent experience with emergency fetal surgery affected her.

The Kardashians star is currently expecting her fourth child, her first with husband Travis Barker.

As she prepares to welcome her baby son into the world in the coming weeks, Kourtney has now chosen to open up about her experience. 

In an interview with Vanity Fair Italy, the 44-year-old mum recalled the moment she was rushed to hospital last month.

“It was terrifying. I feel that sooner or later I will go into detail because I hope that it could help others, but I don't feel ready yet because it was really frightening,” she confessed.

“Right after the surgery, I reached the point where I let myself go and I stopped worrying,” Kourtney added. “Now I talk to the baby every day, have a positive mindset, keep my head straight, and say a lot of prayers.”

The reality star  – who co-parents children Mason (13), Penelope (11) and Reign (8) with her ex Scott Disick –  noted that she has felt more frightened during her current pregnancy.

“Unlike the other three, I was followed by a different group of doctors, who gave me many restrictions in the first months,” she shared, adding: “I think all this caution made me a little afraid because, in the past, I never had to be so careful. It took me a while to let go of the fear.”

In May of this year, Kourtney and Travis confirmed on The Kardashians that they were “officially done” with IVF. 

“I was pushed towards [IVF] as if it were the only option. The truth is, I felt like I was doing something that wasn't right for me. My intuition was telling me that it wasn't suitable for me,” she recalled.

“I kept telling Travis: 'If we're meant to have a baby, then it's just going to happen.' And that's how it was. When we stopped forcing the process, then it happened,” Kourtney concluded, describing her pregnancy as “God’s plan”.
