Self Esteem details 'wild' night with Madonna during London gig
Self Esteem has revealed a 'wild' night she had with Madonna after the Queen Of Pop came along to one of her London gigs last month and labelled her 'incredible'.
Self Esteem star Rebecca Lucy Taylor has recalled the 'wild' time earlier this year that saw Madonna arrive at her London gig last month.
Talking to Mirror during Radio 1's Big Weekend, Rebecca shared how she has some holidays coming up, which she will use as an opportunity to reflect on some career highlights, including the run in with the Queen of Pop.
'Maybe in Portugal I'll be like: 'Oh my god, Madonna came to the gig. Remember that?'' she mused about the icon turning up to one of her shows last month. It was wild. She had to run off, but we've messaged and stuff. it's private between her and I. Me and my mother Madonna," laughed the singer.
Madonna turned up at London venue The Duke Of York last month where Rebecca was performing as part of her Complicated Woman Live show. Clearly impressed by the show, Madonna dubbed the artist 'incredible' in an Instagram post after the show.
Not only has Rebecca had some A-list audience members over the last few months, but she's also had a string of award wins recently.
She kicked off this week bagging herself an Ivor Novello award, then performed with Scissor Sisters in Manchester before taking to the stage in Liverpool for Big Weekend on Sunday evening.
All the excitement has taken its toll on her, she tells Mirror, 'I've come all the way to Liverpool with no house keys, so that's good,' she laughed.
'I just need to stop it for a bit. It's been brilliant. Things just aren't setting in because I'm just so busy. It's wonderful and I'm grateful.'
She reveals how she's choosing to unwind in an unlikely spot. 'I'm going to LEGOLAND on Tuesday… and then I'm going to Portugal for 10 days.'
Still on a high from the Ivors, Rebecca, 38, says bagging the Visionary Award was a special moment. 'I didn't really realise how much I needed it… to be recognised for the craft,' she reflected.
'My mum and dad came, which was really great, because they had to see me lose the Mercury Prize twice.' 'That's me done now,' she laughed.
Saturday evening was a treat on the eyes and ears as Self Esteem reeled off hits including I Do This All The Time. And Rebecca explains she put her money where her mouth is to put it on.
'I'm trying to put on a theatre show at festivals,' she tells. 'The surprise is like how much money I'm spending on being here!
'It's hard to scale it up and do a theatrical thing. 'It's worth it though - it's legacy, you know? 'I want it to go down in history, so that's not cheap!'

The pair - who met on Made In Chelsea and married in 2023 - announced the happy news that they were having their first child on social media on Tuesday morning with a sweet clip of them at a scan. And just a few hours later they appeared together on their drive time Radio 1 show where they broke their silence on the pregnancy. Last week it was revealed that Sophie, 30, would cover for Jamie's usual radio co-host Vick Hope who is now on her maternity leave. Opening their show on Tuesday, Jamie, 36, said: 'There is an elephant in the room and we should definitely talk about it!'

The pair - who met on Made In Chelsea and married in 2023 - announced the happy news that they were having their first child on social media on Tuesday morning with a sweet clip of them at a scan Sophie then quipped back: 'Don't call it an elephant!', before Jamie added: 'We have something pretty big to talk about...' Speaking in unison they joyfully said: 'We're having a baby!! We're very excited guys.' An excitable Jamie then added: 'We announced on social media this morning that Sophie is pregnant.' Sophie then went on to say: 'It's so good to get it out. I feel good and relieved to say it out in the open. 'It feels so real and nice now and connect with other people about it now.' Jamie then revealed: 'We found out about four months ago!' He then revealed how Sophie told him the happy news: 'When we first found out I was gaming on the weekend sat on the sofa in my boxers. 'And I could tell something was off and then you came over to me crying and I thought I had done something wrong! 'And then Sophie said to me that she was pregnant. It was surreal and a big moment.' Sophie then sweetly added: 'I think you will be a great dad!' Opening their show on Tuesday, Jamie, 36, said: 'There is an elephant in the room and we should definitely talk about it!' Sophie announced she was expecting her first child with her husband Jamie in a post on Instagram on Tuesday. The sweet clip showed them having an ultrasound as Sophie looked delighted staring at the screen. The post was simply captioned with a heart emoji and was soon flooded with well wishes from their followers. Sophie and Jamie married in a lavish Spanish wedding in 2023 surrounded by their famous pals and family after getting together on Made In Chelsea in 2019. Their celebrity pals were quick to comment on the post as Molly-Mae Hague said: 'Congratulations guys !!!!' Strictly's Dianne Buswell added: 'Omg congratulations guys so so exciting!' Author and Jamie's close pal Elizabeth Day added: 'So happy for you both!' Sophie's sister Georgia - who welcomed her first child last year - reshared the post saying it was the 'best news'. The announcement comes just after Sophie joined Jamie in presenting his Radio 1 drive time show when his co-star Vick Hope left on maternity leave. Vick, 35, who is expecting her first child with DJ Calvin Harris, 41, hosted her last show on the station last week. Sophie and Jamie already host their podcast NewlyWeds together - with the duo recently revealing it would be going on a break. In an Instagram update last week, they announced: 'The podcast is taking a break?! We're pressing pause but only for a moment.' A source later told The Sun: 'Sophie is joining the Radio 1 family and everyone is really excited that she'll be bringing her chemistry with hubby Jaime to the airwaves. 'They're already pros after doing their podcast for so many years but this is a huge moment for them and they can't wait. 'It could lead to endless opportunities for them as a couple. They could even be a modern day Richard and Judy.' Sophie recently sparked pregnancy rumours as she shared a bikini Instagram while touching her stomach. And back in April Jamie and Sophie spilled the beans on their baby plans. The pair got candid about their future plans on building a family during a chat with The Times. 'I was really scared about kids,' Jamie explained. 'It's something you can't control. Sophie would then carry a baby, all these different things that I can't control and, 'Oh God, what happens if this happen or that happens?' But I saw a clip on Instagram where someone said, 'The best thing I ever had is being called Dad.' 'I was like, 'Oh, wouldn't that be cool?' So now I'm so down for it. I would like to have loads.' Jamie added he would be up for four kids, and the blonde beauty agreed with him sweetly. Sophie and Jamie had two weddings - a civil ceremony at Chelsea Town hall before jetting to Spain for a bigger, more lavish ceremony. A host of their Made In Chelsea co-stars were in attendance including Sam Thompson, Olivia Bentley, Emily Blackwell, Spencer Matthews and Oliver Proudlock. Blonde beauty Sophie got engaged to Jamie in December 2021 after they started dating in April 2019 on the show. At the time they revealed that they turned down offers to film their wedding for a Made In Chelsea special – just after the Strictly star quit the E4 series to save their romance. The couple revealed they had decided against turning their nuptials into a reality spinoff show because Jamie believed relationships have a better chance of surviving away from the cameras. The Candy Kittens owner told MailOnline reality TV is 'tough on the soul' and after realising he wanted to marry former co-star Sophie he knew his departure from Made In Chelsea was inevitable. Jamie revealed: 'We got asked to do a TV show but it's tricky. 'I have done reality for so long and it's tough on the soul. I don't think TV is ever on your own terms so unless you have control over those things then it's quite difficult. 'It's one of those things that you must decide whether you want to go down the reality TV route again or not. 'Once you get married, what happens then? Do we do another show about being married… when does it end? For the moment I am parking reality.' In agreement with her husband-to-be, Sophie added at the time: 'It is a day for us and our family and friends.' Jamie and Sophie found love on the show after being friends for several years. Their romance caused quite a stir as Sophie had been pals with several of Jamie's exes.

Scarlett Moffatt shares tear-jerking message as she makes her dream come true
The former Gogglebox star and I'm A Me Out Of Here! winner, 34, shared a body positivity message with her fans as she made one of her dreams come true. Scarlett Moffatt has delivered an empowering message on body positivity, fulfilling one of her lifelong aspirations. The 34-year-old Gogglebox sensation, who rose to prominence while giving her take on television from her family's couch, spread positivity as she spun around during the finals of a ballroom dancing contest. Radiating joy in a vibrant neon green frock adorned with feathers and a sparkling belt, the mother-of-one urged her followers to pursue happiness regardless of any inhibitions. In a video where she's seen beaming and dancing with a childhood friend donning a navy jumpsuit, she captioned: "I've said it once I'll say it a million times. DO NOT let your shape, size or age stop you from doing something that brings you joy. "Don't let that silly inner sabotage voice tell you ya won't be able to do it. Don't tell yourself I'll do it when I'm thinner, when I'm fitter or when a, b or c happens. Do it now!" The star of I'm A Me Out Of Here! added: "I can't tell you how much joy dancing in two finals with my childhood friend has made me this weekend. I was thinking of nothing but the sheer joy that dance brings me, I hope I can encourage one more person to do the same.", reports the Mirror. Her motivational words were met with applause from her celebrity pals, with many echoing Scarlett's sentiments. Ex-Strictly contestant Ian Waite commented: "Love this darling", and It Takes Two presenter Janette Manrara chimed in with: "Yes yes yes!!!!" Meanwhile, actress Emily Atack left a comment: "Omg obsessed xxxxxx", and Strictly's professional dancer Karen Hauer cheered on with: "Wooohooo yes babe!!" When Scarlett joined the cast of Gogglebox, her vibrant character, Northern charm, and quick wit instantly made her a telly favourite. But fame became overwhelming for the star after her I'm A Celebrity win in 2016; she found herself struggling with mental health issues, at one point calling Samaritans 20 times for help. Struggling under the weight of her newfound celebrity status, Scarlett confessed there was a time when she "wanted to disappear" at the height of her struggles. It was during this low point that she discovered Samaritans on social media, which ultimately provided her with the lifeline she needed. In 2022, Scarlett lent her support to a government campaign encouraging people to take care of their mental well-being. This initiative followed findings from The Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) which indicated that nearly 70% of Britons suffered from "Sunday Scaries", anxiety triggered by impending work commitments, sleep deprivation and burgeoning task lists. While discussing her own experiences with anxiety with the Mirror, she revealed: "It doesn't even matter how many years I've been doing this, I still want to perform well. So that anxiety around getting my lines right, and hoping they want to work with me again all start." The television celebrity, who is set to marry Scott Dobinson and together they have a two year old son named Jude, shared that her most effective strategy for coping with stressful times is to seek support from friends and family – a stark contrast to her past approach. She explained: "This has been a gradual thing, but now if I'm ever feeling that way, I reach out to a loved one. That's the opposite of what I used to do. I used to think I don't want to be a burden on anyone, or that I don't want to let anyone down."
