Gordon Ramsay's mansion surrounded by SWAT team after reports of 'shooting'

Daily Record24-04-2025
Gordon Ramsay's plush LA pad was reportedly swamped by police following a dramatic hoax phone call claiming gunshots were heard at the celebrity chef's residence. The Scots chef 's US home saw an influx of cops surrounding it on Tuesday after a call came through around 8.40pm local time, alerting authorities that a shooter had unleashed gunfire at Ramsay's Bel Air estate. Authorities swiftly deduced the allegations to be bogus. Local residents backed this, saying there was no commotion, and reports indicate Gordon was not on the premises during the ordeal. TMZ had law enforcement sources confirming that the event seemed to be another "swatting" prank. Detectives are looking into the matter, though no one has been nicked for the stunt so far. Swatting pranks involve making false reports to lure a massive police response against someone. The trend has taken off in the States, ensnaring several A-list celebrities as victims, reports the Mirror . Nicki Minaj's Hidden Hills mansion fell prey to a similar sham earlier this month after a supposed shooting was reported. That call was also found to be a fabrication. Last year, megastars Jennifer Aniston, Chris Brown, Rihanna, and Justin Bieber all reportedly faced such deception, and even Tom Cruise was caught up in a swatting incident back in 2013. Gordon is currently engrossed in preparations for his daughter's wedding. Holly, 25, will soon walk down the aisle to exchange vows with Olympic swimmer Adam Peaty, 30, with nuptials planned for December. The couple, who met on the set of Strictly Come Dancing in 2021, have taken to social media to announce their engagement. In a recent interview, she shared how her renowned chef father will contribute to her special day. When questioned about whether her dad would be in charge of the wedding menu, she confirmed: "Yes! Oh my goodness, he's been so excited from the beginning." She added: "We've always talked about him doing the food. I guess it will be very much like the food we have at home, nothing too fancy. I'm a big fan of spicy pasta or just steak and chips." Speaking with The Wedding Shop, Holly elaborated: "Not too complicated, because, at the end of the day, you're celebrating over a meal with friends - so just feel-good, easy food." Upon announcing their engagement last year, Holly flaunted her dazzling engagement ring on Instagram, captioning the post: "I am marrying my best friend." She expressed her emotions, saying: "I truly cannot put into words how I am feeling right now. I still remember how big my smile was the morning I got home from my first date with you. "Thank you for letting the little girl inside of me feel loved, seen and happier than ever. I love you and I cannot wait to be your wife."

Kim Kardashian fans freak out as star undergoes bizarre beauty procedures

The internet personality and model has shared some new images of a treatment she is trying which involves injecting a purple liquid into her bloodstream, surprising fans Kim Kardashian has left fans stunned with her latest Instagram post, where she shared images of unusual beauty treatments she tried while on holiday in South Korea. ‌ The 44-year-old reality TV star was joined by her sister Khloe Kardashian and friends including La La Anthony and Stephanie Shepherd for the trip. ‌ In one striking image, Kim could be seen having her arm injected with a vibrant purple liquid while partially bandaged. The unusual scene sparked concerned reactions from her followers, with one asking, "What are you injecting into your arm? Looks like a smoothie." ‌ However, others praised how bold she is when it comes to trying out uncommon beauty treatments, posting comments like, "Omgggg gurllll youu goooo", and "Honestly mood skincare everything there." Other photos showed Kim with tape and Band-Aids over her eyebrows, suggesting she may have been getting them dyed. Two more images featured her with a white substance on her face, likely from a specialty facial. Kim didn't explain the treatments; and just captioned her post: "The things we do." The South Korea trip also featured Kim promoting her SKIMS line, where she tried out the new Seamless Sculpt Face Wrap alongside La La Anthony and Khloe Kardashian. The trio jetted abroad in style on Kim's private plane, Kim Air, with Kim donning a brown fur coat over a sheer Saint Laurent body stocking paired with bold red lipstick. She captioned that snapshot: "When in Korea." ‌ Kim has also been open about her recent health and wellness journey. Earlier this month, she discussed how stem cell therapy has helped her overcome chronic pain. She took to Instagram, saying: "I'm so excited to share with you guys my stem cell journey. Two years ago, I tore my shoulder while lifting weights, leaving me in debilitating pain. "I tried everything to find relief, then I learned about the potential of stem cell therapy and met Dr. Adeel Khan at Eterna. His team treated my shoulder with Dezawa Muse cells, and the results were immediate. I regained full range of motion, and my shoulder has felt completely normal ever since." She went on to explain how the therapy also helped with chronic back pain, adding: "The Muse stem cell treatment was a game-changer once again. I experienced relief right away, and the unbearable pain is finally gone. If you're struggling with back pain, I can't recommend this treatment enough - it's transformed my life when I thought my body was breaking down." ‌ This comes after Kanye West recently made headlines with a new documentary trailer, where Kim can be seen tearfully confronting him about his mental health struggles. The rapper, who now goes by Ye, can be heard admitting: "I've been off my meds for five months now." Kim, looks visibly distraught, and replies through tears: "Your personality was not like this a few years ago," before he storms out of a dressing room with her name written on it. The trailer intercuts these tense moments between the couple with footage of Ye discussing his "calling" and vision for his faith-based performances, including his Sunday Service at Coachella. At one point, Kim pleads with him to pause the conversation, saying: "We could talk about that later, but…" only for him to cut her off with: "It ain't no but!"

X Factor star Lydia Lucy marries long term partner Tommy Watson in lavish wedding

Former X Factor and The Voice UK contestant Lydia Lucy has tied the knot with her long-term partner Tommy Watson in a special ceremony in a luxury London hotel Former X Factor and The Voice UK contestant Lydia Lucy has tied the knot with her long-term partner Tommy Watson in a breathtaking ceremony at London's famed Savoy Hotel. ‌ The 32-year-old singer, who first found fame on reality TV talent shows over a decade ago, delighted fans by sharing glimpses of her big day on Instagram. ‌ Lydia and Tommy could be seen beaming with joy as they posed as husband and wife while surrounded by a spectacular floral display. The singer captioned her post: "The new Mr and Mrs." ‌ The wedding was met with an outpouring of love from Lydia's celebrity friends. TOWIE star Chloe Brockett gushed: "Stunning Lydia." Former I'm A Celebrity winner Scarlett Moffatt added: "So beautiful. Huge congratulations xxx," while Love Island 's Chloe Crowhurst chimed in with: "Congratulations beautiful." After the ceremony, the couple and their daughter Dottie-May made the most of The Savoy's five-star spa and fine dining options by enjoying a mini staycation at the hotel. Dottie-May, who was born in 2021, is especially dear to the couple, as Lydia previously revealed she suffered from a miscarriage the year before her daughter's arrival. Lydia's rise to fame began in 2013 when she auditioned for The X Factor in front of judges Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger, Sharon Osbourne, and Louis Walsh. She wowed the panel with renditions of Jessie J's Mamma Knows Best and Michael Jackson's The Way You Make Me Feel, but was ultimately eliminated during the Six Chair Challenge. Lydia went on to audition for The Voice UK in 2016, joining team and becoming his last act standing, before eventually finishing in fourth place. ‌ Her powerful performances earned her opportunities to tour with the Black Eyed Peas frontman and even perform with the group in Fergie's absence. Now Lydia has a career as a vocalist for private events, and often performs at high-profile weddings and celebrity parties. Lydia has previously spoken about how she uses her stage name to pay tribute to her late sister, Lucy, who died from spina bifida three years before Lydia was born. During her time on The Voice, she dedicated an emotional performance of I'll Be There to her sister, with newly written lyrics including: "It's not fair, I know that you're there, Watching me guiding me, From the upstairs." ‌ At the time Lydia shared: "Even though we never met I feel like I know so much about her that we would have been the best of friends. I feel her aura is always around me, willing me to do well. "I carry a picture of her everywhere, I have a locket of her hair and I've watched all the home videos. She's there in one of them with her little plastic karaoke microphone at Christmas singing Cliff Richard's Living Doll. She has such a lovely smile." She also spoke about how her late sister was the person who named her, explaining: "Lucy picked my name for me when she was seven. When Mum was pregnant with one of my two brothers, Lucy said, 'I hope you have a girl, mummy, so that I can have a sister and I hope you call her Lydia.' "So three years after her death, when I was born, Mum made sure that wish was granted. I had the same princess dress Lucy had and loved. Her Wendy house is still in the middle of our garden. We have shared so much without ever meeting."
