Lily Allen reportedly dating James Norton
She was spotted enjoying an outing with British actor Norton at the Lido music festival in East London over the weekend. Onlookers reported that the pop singer appeared smitten with newly single Norton, who split from his model girlfriend Charlotte Rose Smith last month. The pair, who are both known to use the celebrity dating app Raya, shunned the privacy of the VIP area to watch artists perform. The outing marks Allen's first public 'date' following her split from her husband, Stranger Things actor David Harbour, last year.

British TV icon Kim Woodburn dies after short illness
British reality icon Kim Woodburn has died aged 83 after a short illness. The TV personality, who rose to fame in the UK and the US in Channel 4's hit series How Clean is Your House before later starring on I'm A Celebrity, passed away yesterday. A representative for Kim said: 'It is with immense sadness that we let you know our beloved Kim Woodburn passed away yesterday following a short illness. 'Kim was an incredibly kind, caring, charismatic and strong person. 'Her husband Peter is heartbroken at the loss of his soulmate. 'We are so proud of the amazing things Kim achieved in her life and career. 'We kindly ask that Kim's husband and close friends are given the time and privacy they need to grieve. 'We will not be releasing any further details.' Kim went on to star in a number of shows including I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here in 2009 and Celebrity Big Brother in 2017. She also regularly appeared on ITV's Loose Women and This Morning. Tributes have today flooded in for the reality TV star who was a 'force of nature'. Journalist Dan Wootten posted on X: 'My gorgeous, hilarious and truly outrageous friend Kim Woodburn has died after a short illness. 'Genuinely THE favourite guest on every show I have ever been a part of. 'No one burst the bubble of prissy celebrities in such glorious fashion. Forever the queen of clean!' One devastated fan called her an 'absolute icon of reality TV'. 'I actually can't believe she's died,' another said on X, while one posted: 'RIP diva.' A third posted: 'I am genuinely upset to hear that Kim Woodburn has passed. What an icon who reached her prime later in life. Rest In Peace.' Her death comes weeks after cancelling work commitments due to health concerns. Kim had been offering personal video greetings to her loyal followers after also selling clips on the Cameo platform. But earlier this month she told her social media followers: 'No more videos for now, my loves, I need to get better!' A post on her Instagram account also read: 'We regret to tell you that Kim is unable to record any further videos for the foreseeable future, due to a health problem. Kim sends her love to you all.' Her last video was posted on Valentine's Day. She said cheerfully: 'Hello my loves! I hope you are all okay and keeping well.'

Meghan Markle hits back at critics in candid new interview: ‘Tell the truth'
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. IN LONDON Meghan has defended herself against the wave of criticism she's received since leaving the royal family, declaring she'd like 'people to tell the truth'. Appearing on the Aspire podcast – hosted by Emma Grede, the CEO of the Good American fashion brand and founding partner of Kim Kardashian's Skims line – the Duchess of Sussex was asked: 'If you could rewrite your public narrative from scratch, is there anything you would do differently?' Meghan responded firmly: 'Yes, I would ask people to tell the truth.' 'You're so measured about it, I'm such a hothead … I would just get so angry if I felt like everyone was lying about me all the time … don't you ever feel like just being, like, 'just leave me alone'?' Grede pressed her. 'Peaks and valleys. Of course, I've gone through those chapters and you do a lot of work. You do a lot of self-work and go, 'what's the why? It's happening for a reason'.' 'My dear friend Serena [Williams] … she told me years ago, 'a lie can't live forever'.' She then appeared to make a thinly-veiled reference to her reported struggles upon joining the royal family in 2017, quickly adding: 'Eight years is a long time!' Meghan defended herself against critics in a new podcast. Picture: Supplied She urged people to 'tell the truth'. Picture: Supplied The interview comes more than five years after she and Prince Harry quit royal duties and moved to California, and just months after she officially launched her new company, As Ever, associated Netflix series, With Love, Meghan, and podcast, Confessions of a Female Founder. 'Is there a part of you that feels any sense of impostor syndrome? Do you ever sit back and get overwhelmed by how big the opportunity is, and then peddle back?' Grede asked during her interview with the former actress. 'I don't,' Meghan responded. 'I think I've always had a very entrepreneurial spirit, but equally I enjoy being in a position of having a strong team around me and being able to guide that team as a whole and I've also, in the adventures of my life, I have certainly navigated through things that can in some ways feel bigger. 'So this for me is just another chapter that I think is full of new learns, I love learning. I don't feel impostor syndrome, I feel like I'm exactly where I need to be right now.' Meghan spoke about launching her business, As Ever. Picture: Supplied Elsewhere in their lengthy conversation, Meghan brought up her viral – and controversial – birthing suite dance video, which she posted last week as a throwback in honour of her daughter Lili's birthday. 'Did you see my Baby Mama dance?' Meghan asked Grede, responding to her remarks about being 'authentic'. The British-born CEO responded that she'd seen it '20 times', telling the duchess that she even did 'a little secret cheer' for her while watching it. 'Like, I wanna see that happiness and that honesty and that, 'I don't give a f**k kind of thing,' Grede said. Harry and Meghan danced in the labour ward in the video shared last week. Picture: Instagram 'By the way, that wasn't yesterday,' Meghan clarified, explaining that she recorded it while waiting for Lili to be born in 2021. 'That was four years ago. So it's also a really great reminder that, with all the noise or whatever people do, there's still a whole life. A real, authentic, fun life that's happening behind the scenes. 'I'm just grateful that now, being back on social as well, I have a place where I can share it on my own terms.' Meghan's dancing video certainly divided opinion among the millions of people who viewed it after it was shared last week. But while it attracted plenty of both mockery and support, it also managed to rack up thousands of likes and millions of views. The footage was also part of a broader trend of Meghan posting more intimate and personal content of her personal life amid the launch of her new lifestyle business. Meanwhile, speaking on the Aspire podcast, Meghan also shed light on the future of her company, admitting many people had been lobbying her to move into the beauty sector. While it hadn't yet been the right time, she hinted that she was open to it at some point – and that she was already considering expanding into fashion. It comes just days after The Sun reported that the duchess is adding hotels and restaurants to her brand wish list, trademarking As Ever for 'hospitality services'. According to the publication, it will include places to stay, 'provision of food and drink' and temporary accommodation.

Royal Ascot 2025 results: Mark Zahra wins, Asfoora denied
Don't miss out on the headlines from Horse Racing. Followed categories will be added to My News. Melbourne Cup-winning jockey Mark Zahra kicked off the Royal Ascot carnival on a winning note for Australia when he piloted Docklands to victory in the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes (1609m). Australian-owned Docklands, trained by Harry Eustace, was purchased last year by OTI Racing for a tilt at the 2024 Cox Plate, in which he was an 11-length fifth behind Via Sistina. After subsequent unplaced runs in the Champions Stakes at Flemington and the Hong Kong Mile at Sha Tin, Docklands returned to Eustace's stables in the UK. • PUNT LIKE A PRO: Become a Racenet iQ member and get expert tips – with fully transparent return on investment statistics – from Racenet's team of professional punters at our Pro Tips section. SUBSCRIBE NOW! In his sole ride on day one of the Royal Ascot carnival, Zahra let the $14 betting chance settle off the pace in the 10-horse field before making his move between runners at the 400m mark. In a desperately close battle with $3.50 favourite Rosallion, Docklands got the bob on the line – despite Zahra being forced to ride hands and heels after dropping his whip inside the final 100m. 'Everyone kept scaring me about the whip rules, I thought it was just easier to throw it away at the 200m,' Zahra joked in his post-race interview. 'It was a very slow, slow speed and I just crept as much as I could, we got room at the right time and he just kept responding, it was such a tough win. 'Amazing. What an amazing feeling. Hearing all the Aussies over the fence, even though the horse is English, you'd have thought he was Aussie by all the screams; amazing experience for unbelievable people. 'Harry has been pumping me up the whole way. This just started as a stop-off on the way to a trip to Ibiza, so to turn into a massive win like this is very special. The closer we got, the more Harry filled me with confidence and he was right. 'Both Docklands' runs this season have been really good. I rode him in Hong Kong with blinkers, whereas blinkers off today, and just looking at him in the field, he is a completely different horse.' Mark Zahra gets Docklands home from Rosallion in the Group 1 Queen Anne Stakes at Royal Ascot. Picture: Alan Crowhurst / Getty Images There was a strong Antipodean flavour to the Queen Anne, with jockey James McDonald sixth aboard the now-Ciaron Maher-trained former US star Carl Spackler, which was recently purchased by Yulong Racing. Just ahead of Carl Spackler in fifth was the William Haggas-prepared Lake Forest, winner of the $10 million Golden Eagle at Rosehill last November. In the Group 1 King Charles III Stakes (1006m), the Henry Dwyer-trained Asfoora was unable to defend her victory from 12 months ago but she was far from disgraced, finishing fifth as American Affair ($14) charged home for victory. Under Irish jockey Oisin Murphy, Asfoora ($4.50 fav) raced close to the pace and looked a winning chance at the 200m before just peaking on her run late. Dwyer had already flagged leading into the King Charles III Stakes that Asfoora would be vulnerable in the race, given he was unable to get her to England in time to have a lead-up run, as she did last year. The Nunthorpe Stakes in August is a key goal for Asfoora later in her UK campaign.
