Jamie also shared some light-hearted thoughts on the impending 10-hour flight. The couple had been documenting their travels on social media, describing the trip as a "magical experience" and teasing followers with a future vlog about their adventures. Reflecting on their journey, Jamie remarked: "We really have been on quite a journey and then just spending the last night here in this most amazing hotel, we've just had the most delicious Thali food. It was the perfect way to round up the trip." After a 10-day wellness retreat, the London-based pair were scheduled to fly back on the Air India service, according to Birmingham Live, which referenced information from Jamie's brother Nick Meek, reports the Manchester Evening News. Nick, a caretaker hailing from Birmingham, told the publication: "We were expecting him home tonight.

Their mother has been deeply impacted by the news, with Nick revealing: "She is not in a good way. It is all very raw for her at the moment. It's a lot to take in and we only heard this news a couple of hours ago." Jamie had previously wowed the crowds on BBC One's reality competition Dance X.

When and where is Charli XCX at LIDO Festival? Charli XCX will naturally be playing the Main Stage at LIDO on Saturday, June 14 in the Lido Field in Victoria Park. Timings On Saturday, the gates will open at 2pm for those with regular tickets, or 1pm for those with advanced entry. Charli will take to the stage at 9.25pm. What's the full Charli XCX LIDO lineup and set times? Of course, this is a festival, so there's plenty of other great music to enjoy before Charli makes an appearance.

That's where the map comes in handy. Here's the festival map for LIDO festival. How to get to LIDO festival There are a few ways to get to LIDO on public transport. If you want to travel by tube, the best stations to get off at are Mile End, which is on the District, Central and Hammersmith and City lines, or Bethnal Green, on the Central line. Both of these stations are within walking distance of Viccy Park. Just be aware that there are no night services on the Hammersmith and City or District lines. Alternatively, you can travel by bus. Hop on any of the 8, 277, 309, 339, 388, D3 and D6 services and you'll find a stop near the venue. If you are using public transportation, make sure to check before you travel, and have a look here for this weekend's disruptions. Are there any tickets left for Charli xcx at LIDO Festival 2025? Unfortunately, Charli's day at LIDO is pretty much sold out. It's no surprise given that Brat was such a cultural moment – everyone wants to see if the real thing lives up to the hype. However, there are a very small number of 'primary entry' tickets left, which allow you to get into the park an hour early. These are £107 and you can grab yours here. What's the weather looking like? Despite yellow storm warnings in some parts of the country, the weather forecast is actually quite positive. Expect moderate cloud coverage with spurts of sunshine, and temperatures in the high teens and low twenties (peaking at 23C at 3pm). There's currently no rain predicted to fall during the event, but as we've been having quite changeable weather lately there's no harm in bringing a poncho. Afterparties If you're going to see Charli, you probably love a party. The official LIDO afterparty is taking place at Colour Factory. Tickets are pretty pricey – sitting at around £40 – but if you think it's worth it, you can grab yours here.
