Camilla finds my royal tattoos ‘hilarious', says superfan
Camilla joked with Phil Smith when he showed her his latest body art by sticking out his left leg covered in royal monograms.
The two met at the annual Sandringham Flower Show where the King and Queen toured the exhibition tents viewing winners in flower arranging, vegetable produce and baking.
Phil Smith, 61, said he first had the late Queen's cypher tattooed on his leg, then above it Charles's monogram followed by Camilla's emblem and then 18 months ago the King and Queen's cyphers entwined were inked on his lower thigh.
After showing her the newest tattoo he said: 'She finds it hilarious.'
He added: 'That was probably about an hour and a half (to ink), but it was bloody painful'.
'I've been corresponding with the Queen since before they got married – we hit it off.'
Hundreds of well-wishers stood behind crash barriers waiting to meet the royal couple with many shouting goodwill messages for Charles, who is receiving ongoing cancer care and who missed the last year's event.
The King joked about his appearance after he was complemented on how well he was looking by a number of well-wishers.
Maria and Graham Sharples from Spalding, Lincolnshire, who regularly visit the show, called out to the King saying: 'We missed you last year, you look very well.'
Mrs Sharples said: 'He came over and said 'it's all done with mirrors'.'
Later, Irene Lane shouted to the King: 'Good to see you're back this year, praying for your good health,' and when she repeated the phrase to the Queen, Camilla made the crowd laugh when she said 'touch wood' and tapped her head.

Huge Brit pop star, 40, who won The X Factor to release first album in 11 years
FOLLOWING her win on The X Factor and the release of her chart-topping single Bleeding Love, Leona Lewis put out five albums between 2007 to 2015. But after an extended break from the studio, I'm chuffed to reveal that the British star is working on new music again and will release her first album in 11 years in 2026 — exactly two decades after triumphing on the ITV show. This time she is doing it ALL herself — divulging that she is writing and producing as well as playing the instruments. No wonder it's taken so long. Speaking at an intimate Q&A at 180 House in London, Leona said: 'I've been in the studio since last year now. 'I'm pretty deep in the process and I'm producing everything, writing everything, so it's very new territory for me. 'But there definitely will be something next year. 'It means that it's very unfiltered. It's very raw. "With the birth of my daughter, I did not know the depth of love until she was born. "And I'm writing a lot about that. 'When I first started out, I was quite overwhelmed. "And there were definitely times in the studio where I was questioning, 'Am I crazy? Why am I doing this?' I was an X Factor winner - now I've got a normal job running a coffee shop with an 'important mission' 'I taught myself to play the bass. I'm playing bass on stuff. "I taught myself to play the drums. I'm playing drums on stuff. "And it's so fulfilling as well. 'Just to hear a song that is literally all you, it feels really good. It feels so genuine and real.' The news comes ahead of her debut Las Vegas residency at the exclusive venue Voltaire, which will run from November to early January. She said of the Christmas-themed spectacle, called A Starry Night: 'I think we've created a really special show for people, so yeah, I'm excited to get up there on stage.' And it comes hot on the heels of the OBE she received for services to music earlier this month. On collecting the gong, she said: 'I don't really get nervous, so my dad was like, 'What's wrong with you?' "And I went completely silent. But it was just such a big deal 'My dad, every time he sees me now, has started to curtsy, which is really weird.' I'd absolutely be demanding the royal treatment after that. Bizbit THE brilliant Katherine Ryan is mixing sex and comedy for brand new podcast Write Me Dirty. Each week, the comic will be joined by two guests who have to write the most steamy – and side-splitting – erotic fiction based on Kath's ridiculous prompts, such as, 'Apocalypse, must include a zombie and a can of beans'. The first episode, featuring Radio 1 DJs Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo, is out today. Kath joked: 'When they asked me if I wanted to host a show about sex, erotica and fiction I didn't have to think twice – I said absolutely not. "But when I realised I'd have a front row seat as comedians squirmed through the awkwardness of reading aloud the erotic fiction they'd written about each other for a prize, I reconsidered.' LIAM AND PAM ARE REAL DEAL PAMELA ANDERSON and Liam Neeson really have struck up a romance, according to US sources. Showbiz magazine People has claimed that The Naked Gun co-stars, are in the early stages of a relationship and are both 'smitten'. 5 They have raised some eyebrows while promoting the film, with Pammy giving him a kiss at the London premiere last week. Speaking about the Baywatch star, Liam said: 'With Pamela, first off, I'm madly in love with her. 'She's terrific to work with. I can't compliment her enough. No huge ego. "She just comes in to do the work. "She's funny and so easy to work with.' Meanwhile, Pammie says they bonded over a passion for 'literature and a good laugh,' adding: 'We definitely have a connection that is very sincere, very loving. "He's a good guy.' Bizbit IF you're visiting Edinburgh over the next month, my pal Lily Edwards is taking on her wackiest role yet. The Fringe veteran is at the heart of a one-woman show, Of Fire And Flame, written by Emma Zetterberg. The show, described as a 'fantasy-romance parody,' doubles as a poignant reflection on the realities of living with endometriosis. You can catch it from August 1-24 (not 12) at 12.20pm at the Gilded Balloon Patter House. KIDS KEEP UP WITH JONESES THEY may have multi-millionaire parents, but that doesn't mean the kids of Catherine Zeta Jones and Michael Douglas haven't had the odd trip to Butlin's in their time. The couple raised their kids Dylan and Carys between New York and Bermuda, but the actress has said that she insisted they spend a fortnight in her native Wales every year, so they'd get a taste of normal life. She told the Radio Times: 'I'm adamant that they go back to Wales every year, to be with their grandparents for two weeks. 'Nana and Grampy's rules! 'They've been to Butlin's, Legoland, seen the sights in London, up to Scotland, over to Ireland. "They've even been to the Isle of Man, I think. 'As a parent, you guide them, you give them the best, broadest options, you don't smother them – you put them into situations where you hope they see the reality of the world.' FEARNE'S OFF TO FLYER WITH ELLIOT THERE might be a couple of late bombshells jetting into the Love Island villa in Mallorca – but I'm not sure their heads will be turned. A Bizarre reader spotted Fearne Cotton and her new man, TV director Elliot Hegarty, snogging at Palma Airport. 5 The pair, who I revealed had started dating in February, jetted in from Heathrow for a romantic getaway this week. Our reader explained: 'Fearne and Elliot were like teenagers in love. They were kissing and cuddling while waiting for their bags. 'It was lovely to see her so happy. Elliot totally doted on her. "She's found a lovely man.' Bizbit IF you're a fan of top stars including Sir Tom Jones, Basement Jaxx and Sugababes, you still have a chance to see them this weekend. They all headline at Camp Bestival at Lulworth Castle in Dorset. The Zutons, DJ Annie Mac, The Lightning Seeds, Goldie and Remember Monday are also on the line-up. All the weekend tickets for the family festival, which is hosting a massive pyjama party on Saturday, are sold out. But day tickets for the event are still available at DON'T SLIDE AWAY, DJ JO TELLS OASIS JO WHILEY knows Oasis better than most, having interviewed Noel and Liam Gallagher on countless occasions over the years. And she is hopeful that we will get some new music from the brothers. 5 She reckons it would be 'insane' for the duo not to get back inside the recording studio given the massive success of their comeback tour. Speaking on her Dig It podcast, the Radio 2 DJ, said: 'You've had bands like Blur coming back and doing The Ballad Of Darren two years ago now, which has just got some of their best-ever songs on. 'There are so many artists . . . Suede have got a new album out and how fantastic is the new Pulp album? 'So with hope in my heart, I would really love Oasis to have another album, a new album, because of all the songs that they wrote way back in the day. She explained: 'They've continued to write new songs. 'Noel's High Flying Birds – there was some really brilliant music that he did. Jo added: 'So how could you stop being that songwriter and not want to release new music as Oasis with your brother? 'That would seem insane to me. So hopefully it will happen.' I'll keep my fingers crossed, too.

The curse of This Morning strikes again
Did someone at This Morning shatter a dozen mirrors? ITV's beleaguered daytime show has been beset by a slew of scandals and budget cuts, and its ratings are in freefall. Insiders speak of a 'curse'. This week, it appeared to strike again. Cat Deeley, one of the show's hosts, announced on Tuesday that she is getting divorced from her husband of 12 years, Patrick Kielty – and the stresses of her job might be partly to blame. 'We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved,' Deeley, 48, and Kielty, 54, announced in a joint statement. (The couple have two sons, Milo, nine, and James, seven.) While they have yet to provide further detail on the reasons for their split, Deeley had previously hinted at the challenges that come with her role. She and Ben Shephard began co-presenting ITV's flagship show in 2024 following the dramatic departure of Phillip Schofield (after having an affair with a younger male colleague) and then Holly Willoughby. 'Like ships in the night' In May 2024, while interviewing a couple who sleep in separate bedrooms, Deeley admitted on This Morning that she regularly went to bed alone. 'Because of our schedule here, from Monday to Thursday I sleep in the guest bedroom,' she admitted. A few months later, speaking to The Times, Kielty, who presents Ireland's The Late Late Show on Friday nights, said: 'We've got the start of the week and the weekends together.' Yet in December 2024, Deeley signed a contract to continue presenting the show until at least spring 2026, for a reported salary of £600,000. This week, after announcing their decision to part, a source close to the couple told the Daily Mail the pair had drifted apart in recent times. The problem extended beyond separate bedrooms, the source added, pointing out that Deeley and Kielty 'have been living separate lives for the best part of a year'. They described the pair as being 'like ships in the night'. Indeed, as well as Deeley's gruelling This Morning schedule and Kielty's weekly commute to Dublin for The Late Late Show, which he took over in 2023, Kielty also hosts a Saturday morning show on BBC Radio 5 Live. Kielty has also been supporting his family during a difficult time: his aunt died last December, and his mother Mary passed away in March. Deeley was not with Kielty for his mother's funeral in Dundrum, County Down, where he acted as a pallbearer and gave a reading during the mass. Deeley's spokesman said at the time that she was staying at home 'to be there for her two young children […] on this very sad day'. Ratings slump If Deeley has, as reported, made huge sacrifices for her job, she might begin to wonder if it was worth it. Her presenting stint with Shephard has been met with cool indifference at best. Around a million viewers tuned in for their debut in March 2024, but ratings halved in just two months. She certainly appeared to have concerns at the outset that the job could be a poisoned chalice. An insider told Heat in 2024: 'Cat is worried about taking on this role because of all the controversy that came beforehand.' The source added: ' This Morning has seen some TV titans topple – it feels like it's cursed.' Perhaps Deeley decided that throwing herself headlong into the role was the only way to save a show which had been branded as 'toxic' by some. But given how many of its previous presenters have been burned by the programme, is This Morning, in fact, an unavoidable career curse? Rachel Richardson, who writes the culture and trends newsletter highly flammable, believes that the scandal-ridden programme 'went for the really safe option' with the nice but dull pair of Deeley and Shephard, who appear to lack chemistry – and the necessary hint of anarchy. 'The show's USP has always been how ridiculous it is,' observes Richardson. 'It's an entertaining mix of high and low: one minute they're interviewing a government minister, the next it's a woman who claims she's had sex with a ghost. You have to be able to do the full range, whereas Ben and Cat are just a little beige.' ITV bosses may well have been aiming for middle-of-the-road. This Morning, which began in 1988 with the husband-and-wife team of Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan, went from being a trusted brand, fronted by bickering but relatable presenting pairs who you welcomed into your living room, to a calamitous soap opera. An early indication of the show's toxic environment came in 2009 with the abrupt departure of Fern Britton, who reportedly had a falling out with co-host Schofield. The latter admitted in his memoir, Life's What You Make It, published the same year, that their relationship had turned sour, while Britton told the Daily Mail in 2024 that she 'loved' the show and would 'probably still be there' but for the fact that she and Schofield 'were not getting on very well' prior to her exit. Schofield found himself under the microscope again in 2023, when Eamonn Holmes (who was part of the presenting team along with his wife Ruth Langsford between 2006 and 2020) revealed that Langsford had once made an official complaint to ITV about Schofield 'because he was so rude'. Speaking on GB News, Holmes claimed that neither Schofield nor Willoughby made the effort to learn crew members' names. Dr Ranj Singh also criticised the show (he left This Morning in 2021), claiming in 2023 it had a 'toxic culture' and that he had quit after raising concerns about the treatment of employees, particularly by This Morning 's editor Martin Frizell (who announced he was stepping down from the role in 2024). 'I felt like because I whistle-blew I was managed out,' Singh added. The Schofield crisis But the show's biggest crisis came when it lost its most popular presenting duo, Schofield and Willoughby. The public was furious when they seemingly skipped the queue to observe the late Queen lying in state in 2022. Then came the bombshell revelation that Schofield had had an 'unwise but not illegal' affair with a younger male co-worker, a scandal compounded by what appeared to be his repeated attempts at a cover-up, which allegedly shattered his relationship with Willoughby. In a statement, she said: 'When reports of this relationship first surfaced, I asked Phil directly if this was true and was told it was not. It's been very hurtful to find out that was a lie.' Schofield, who left This Morning in May 2023, suffered too, telling the BBC's Amol Rajan the following month that he had lost everything and felt 'utterly broken and ashamed' following the revelations and intense, sometimes vitriolic, public scrutiny – the dark side of being in the This Morning spotlight. He also said that his daughters were guarding him because he had had suicidal thoughts. Willoughby initially soldiered on following Schofield's departure from the show (beginning with the much-mocked 'Are you OK?' speech to viewers), before enduring another ordeal. In October 2023 Gavin Plumb was arrested over an alleged plot to kidnap and murder her: Plumb had contacted another man, who was actually an undercover police officer. He was later convicted and jailed for a minimum of 16 years. The horrific incident was said to have had a 'catastrophic' effect on Willoughby and she announced she was leaving This Morning shortly after Plumb's arrest, saying in a statement: 'I now feel I have to make this decision for me and my family.' Uncertain future As for Deeley's own future on the show, a source told The Sun last year that she would probably leave when her deal expired in 2026. 'She has zero desire to follow in Holly's footsteps,' the source said. That could well be a mutual decision if ratings continue to tumble. Richardson thinks ITV missed a trick by hiring Deeley and Shephard: 'This was an opportunity for the show to reinvent itself,' she says. ' This Morning has an increasingly older audience – if they've got any chance of being relevant to young people, they need to create viral moments that blow up on YouTube and TikTok. They need an extravagant character.' The obvious choice, says Richardson, is Alison Hammond, who presents the programme on Fridays with Dermot O'Leary. 'They may well have offered her a permanent host job. But she's busy hosting shows like Bake Off – she's got a whole other career.' Richardson suggests Rylan Clark or Stacey Solomon would also have the requisite warmth and popularity. 'You need someone that people will tune in for when there's so much competing for their attention,' she says. The show is currently trying out Love Island star Olivia Attwood in an attempt to appeal to younger viewers. But ITV might struggle to lock in talent while also slashing budgets on their daytime shows, as announced in May. More than 220 of the 440 staff at ITV Studios are expected to lose their jobs. While This Morning isn't as badly hit as Lorraine and Loose Women, it will no longer have outside broadcasts or Hammond interviewing Hollywood celebrities – ironically, the sort of content that might go viral. 'Trying to turn this ship around with fewer staff and resources is incredibly challenging,' notes Richardson. Perhaps the end is really nigh for TV's great survivor.

We've wanted a child for so long - Joyce-Butchers
Jasmine Joyce-Butchers says she and wife Alisha have "wanted a baby for so long" that the timing of their pregnancy is Wales duo announced they were "keeping a little secret" in May after Alisha was absent from the Six 28-year-old flanker will naturally miss the Rugby World Cup which kicks off in England in just over three weeks."Everyone was asking Alisha 'why now, why now?'," said Jasmine, who is set to win her 50th cap against Australia on Friday."But there is always something in rugby, there is always something that comes up and you're like 'we'll wait for that, we'll wait for that'." The couple who were married in December 2023 decided not to wait, and after a difficult first trimester, now look forward to welcoming their son in November."Obviously she's been the brave one, it's very selfless of her to be the one to carry and miss out on the World Cup and part of her career," Jasmine said."But we've wanted a child for so long and if one of us didn't play rugby, I think we would have had a child a long time ago."We're over the moon that we've been so lucky, we get to grow a child and bring him into the world."Further ahead, Jasmine says it would be a dream to welcome their son onto the pitch, much like team mate Donna Rose did with her daughter during the Six Nations. "It would be pretty cool if me and Alishia could still be playing, hopefully Alisha gets back fit and comes back pretty quickly," she said."We'll have Joyce-Butchers on the back of our jerseys, that would be pretty special." Alisha is the first professional player to experience the Welsh Rugby Union's new performance maternity programme."I think they've pretty much followed England's maternity policy," said Jasmine."Abbie Ward [England lock and Bristol Bears team mate] trialled that out and I know she speaks very highly of it."It's been phenomenal so far, Alisha can't fault it. Jamie, our S&C [strength and conditioning coach], has been the lead in her programme and she wants to do more and more every day, but Jamie's like 'you're carrying a child, chill out.'"She's been loving training in and around the environment with the girls as well." Three-time Olympian Jasmine is currently in Sydney where Wales will play their final warm-up Test before their World Cup opener against Scotland on 23 meanwhile is back home in Wales decorating the nursery."She won't show me, it's a surprise," Jasmine said, "that's normally my forte, I hope she does it well!"But Jasmine is intent on adding her own personal touches having taken up a new hobby on tour."I've being crocheting little things. I've done a dinosaur, it doesn't look like a dinosaur, and I've done a little bee, which looks like a bee," she joked."I'm not normally a crocheter, but we had so much time on the plane, so much time here and I like to keep busy."I had knitted before but I left my knitting on the plane, so I had to borrow Kayleigh Powell's crochet kit. It's very therapeutic."
