Radio host Carrie Bickmore dons her famous Gold Logie outfit 10 years on for a cause that's close to her heart

Daily Mail​20-05-2025

Carrie Bickmore has dug up an iconic past look for a good cause.
The radio presenter, 44, took to Instagram on Monday to share a picture of herself wearing her famous Gold Logie Awards dress from 2015, which she paired with a beanie in a nod to her late husband.
Carrie, who won the award for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television at the 57th annual awards show, dedicated her moment of glory to her late partner Greg Lange, using her two-minute speech to highlight brain cancer - the disease from which he died.
In memory of his death, the Aussie star decided to continue his legacy through her charity, Carrie's Beanies for Brain Cancer.
In the post, the media personality compared two pictures - one taken in 2015 and the other taken in 2025 - of her wearing a low-cut silver dress that showed off her slim figure, complete with a belt around the waist and a bright blue beanie.
'Same beanie, same dress, 10 years on and 25 million dollars for brain cancer research later. Thank you for the continued support,' she captioned the post.
Greg tragically passed away in December 2010 at age 35 from a 10-year battle with brain cancer.
Talking to Anh Do on his ABC series Anh's Brush With Fame in 2018, Carrie opened up about how her late husband's diagnosis in 2001 shattered her world.
'It was about a year after we moved to Melbourne. I think I was still 21 or 22 and he was about 25. He had a seizure at home and one thing led to another and they diagnosed him with a brain tumour,' she tearfully explained.
'It was just... in your 20s that is just the last thing that you can ever - I didn't even really know anyone that had cancer, I didn't know anything about brain cancer, neither did he.
'It completely threw everything we knew, everything we had planned, everything we thought... it just threw everything on its head.'
Not knowing what the future would hold for them, the couple had their first child together, Oliver in 2005 - with Carrie admitting it was 'probably the greatest thing we ever did together.'
'This sounds so weird, but often I'll see him in the shower, the back of his body, and his frame is just a miniature version of Greg. They're very, very similar. It was a great thing for both of us, to have him and have that focus,' she said at the time.
Speaking at the Logies, Carrie revealed the heartwarming story behind her charity's mission, saying: 'He [Greg] was a great father and great husband. He wore lots of hats to hide his scars and I would tell him "don't be embarrassed".'
Following Greg's death, Carrie went on to date and marry Chris Walker, sharing two daughters together, Evie and Adelaide.
However, the pair announced their separation via social media in 2022.
Since then, Carrie has been the subject of romance rumours thanks to her on-air chemistry and flirty social media exchanges with her radio co-host Tommy Little.
The pair, who works alongside each other on the radio show Carrie & Tommy, have made a number of appearances together of late, cuddling up at a golf tournament in Adelaide and enjoying a trip to Uluru together.
She shared a sweet photo to Instagram of herself and Tommy embracing one another and smiling at the LIV golf tournament.
Meanwhile, Tommy recently made a relationship confession which continued to fan the flames of romance rumours.
The comedian confessed to Stellar he is very keen to start a family and settle down - even if he's not entirely ready to grow up yet.

Sophie Evans asks fans about Welsh language schools and overwhelmingly told one thing

Sophie Evans asks fans about Welsh language schools and overwhelmingly told one thing Best known for her roles in Wicked and the Wizard of Oz, Sophie Evans has been asking for advice about her children's future education Sophie Evans and Ellis Jenkins pictured with their first son Jack, in 2023 (Image: Sophie Evans/Instagram ) West End star Sophie Evans has opened up about a decision many Welsh parents have to think about - whether to send your children to a Welsh or English-speaking school. Just two months after welcoming her second child with husband Ellis Jenkins, Sophie took to TikTok to ask followers for advice. With their first son Jack now nearing school age, the couple must make a decision. "I can't believe the time has come to start thinking about schools for Jack," Sophie said. "But I am at a crossroads as to whether to send Jack to a Welsh language school or an English language school." ‌ The Tonypandy singer said she doesn't speak Welsh fluently, but has some familiarity with the language. She said: "I just think it's something that I really think would've helped with my career, if I could speak Welsh." ‌ Sophie went on to explain her husband's thoughts: "Ellis also doesn't speak Welsh and he is a very academically driven man, he did amazing in school and you know, he says 'I always remember my dad helping me with my homework, maths especially, so he's worried that if we send them to a Welsh school that he wouldn't be able to help them." The couple married in 2022 and have since welcomed two sons, Jack and Louie (Image: Instagram/Jonathan Davies ) She asked followers: "If you send your child to Welsh school, what are the negatives, in your opinion? If you send your child to Welsh school and have loads of positives let me know what they are as well, and vice versa with the English language school. Article continues below "I just don't know what to do. I'm like 75% Welsh and 25% English... but any ideas on what to do?" The comments section flooded with opinions, with the vast majority encouraging Sophie to send her children to a Welsh language school. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter One follower wrote: "Welsh medium education all the way. Better standard of education and the boys will leave being fully bilingual with better job prospect if they stay in Wales. Plenty of help on offer to parents who don't speak the language from schools/teachers." ‌ This was echoed by another comment: "Welsh, being bilingual in any language improves job prospects as an adult, it provides them with all the same GCSEs as standard and speaking multiple languages from a young child has proven to improve cognitive ability such as improved memory and slower cognitive decline, and it makes it easier to learn more languages as an adult. "Not to mention the fact that it's a beautiful langue and everyone in Wales should have the pleasure of speaking it." One commenter who was in the same position said: "Product of a Welsh language school with non Welsh speaking parents, I'm fine! Great job, learnt three other languages and my English is great (freelance writer and journalism grad). ‌ "Homework they learn to explain to you, and you can request English versions of things. In a class of say 50 in my school, only five would have a Welsh speaking parent - it was completely the norm. It's never held me back!" Another added: "The benefits of being bilingual are incredible! I am first language Welsh and my parents didn't speak Welsh, I'm so thankful they gave me the opportunity. It's so important for our culture. Absolutely no negatives. Welsh better funding. English schools will be phased out across Wales in coming years." A minority shared concerns based on their experiences: "I know so many people who struggled with English when attending a Welsh school. They needed an English tutor to help them with basics like spelling/reading etc. Those I know who attended a Welsh school don't use it in their jobs (obvs different for everyone with different jobs) but also jobs like Welsh speaking applicants too." ‌ Another said: "I went to Welsh school, parents struggled to help with homework but I liked my time at school. I didn't keep up my Welsh though and now not that confident to speak it. So if they do go encourage them to keep it up as there are lots of jobs that want specific Welsh speaking, especially in civil service. I can't do maths terminology in English and also only know the lord's prayer in Welsh." Sophie, who rose to fame on BBC talent show, Over the Rainbow, married Welsh rugby International Ellis Jenkins back in 2022. The couple first met when they were both just 18 years old. Speaking to WalesOnline previously, Sophie shared that despite their deep connection, they've faced their fair share of challenges. "When we were about 23 or 24, we went separate ways for just over a year and then realised, 'You are the love of my life' and we are meant to be together. The rest is history," she recalled.

Creamfields 2025: The highest paid DJs on Spotify in 2025; are any performing this year?

While metal fans are readying themselves for Download Festival 2025 next week, clubbers old and new are eagerly awaiting the day Creamfields 2025 finally arrives. As one of the biggest dance music festivals in the world, Creamfields brings together electronic music's finest, ranging from names that have frequented the UK Top 40 to up-and-coming artists the festival looks to champion. But with such a sheer wealth of DJ talent out there, is there one who can truly call themselves King or Queen of streaming services? Or, in this case, who is sitting atop the Spotify heap earning the most from UK fans in 2025? Spin Genie took a look at some of the figures as part of their roundup of the most influential DJs of 2025 to find that answer and, equally important, how many of the top ten are set to perform at Creamfields this year? Methodology The ranking of DJs was compiled by first generating an artist seed list from ChartMasters and DJMag . For each artist, data was then collected on average monthly listens from Spotify, total Google searches and their percentage change (comparing April 2023-March 2024 with April 2024-March 2025) via Google Keyword Planner , and the number of news articles from Google Search News (using alternate terms for ambiguous names). Additionally, follower counts were obtained from each artist's verified Instagram and TikTok accounts. Finally, all collected data points were used to create a normalised score out of ten, resulting in a ranking for both male and female artists. 1 . Robin Schulz - £64,846 The German DJ and producer, Robin Schulz, is a master of melodic house, whose consistent global appeal is underscored by an impressive estimated market value of £64,846, making him a highly valuable act on the international electronic music circuit. |Photo Sales 2 .

Five surprise Robbie Williams fans with first live performance in 25 years

Former Take That member Robbie Williams is currently travelling around the country as he treats super fans to UK BRITPOP stadium tour Five have surprised Robbie Williams fans at a London concert with their first live performance in 25 years. Concert-goers were sent into a frenzy when the multi-platinum selling band joined Robbie on stage during his performance. Robbie is currently on his huge BRITPOP stadium tour and Five's appearance is their first performance with all five members together for more than two decades. ‌ The band's iconic 1999 chart-topping song Keep On Moving played through the stadium while Robbie admitted that he didn't know all of the words of the second verse and asked the audience to join in to help which is when the band appeared. ‌ Abz Love, J Brown, Ritchie Neville, Scott Robinson and Sean Conlon all walked out on stage before singing along to their song. This is also the first time Five and Robbie have performed together. Talking about the opportunity, Five said: "Wow, what an honour to be asked by Robbie Williams to join him on stage at his London stadium show. Rob has been such a big supporter of ours, from the early days through to the comeback, so when he reached out to ask whether we'd come out on stage for his performance of Keep On Movin', it was the EASIEST yes. "To get to share that moment with Robbie in front of 60k people was crazy… definitely a version of Keep On Movin' we'll never forget." The surprise performance comes ahead of Five's 25-date KEEP ON MOVIN' Tour, which will kick off this October. This comes after Robbie recently opened up about her deals with anxiety when he is recognised by fans. The star, 51, said how interactions with fans can "spike" the issue in a heartfelt post on Instagram. ‌ He described a recent incident on board a flight in America saying: "I've had three interactions so far with fellow passengers. One of them handed my a lovely note - kind words about my documentary - and then asked for a photo." Robbie said he sent another note back explaining that he had "been up since 4.30am, had two hours' sleep, and wrangled four kids through the airport". He also confessed to dealing with anxiety before saying anybody approaching him for a photo would cause it to "spike" due to the further attention it would cause. However, he said he hadn't rejected the request, but instead tried to explain how many people had a photo with him, but no-one had the same handwritten note. ‌ Robbie revealed how it's a daily situation for him, with strangers approaching him on average 20 times a day to take a photo. But he then argued that there are some situations that he doesn't want to capture and there should be scenarios in which he can reject a request. "I was on the phone to my wife the other day - she was in flood of tears about her mum. Is it okay for me to say no to a photo request then?," he asked. "What if I'm having a challenging mental health day - is it okay if I don't want that captured by a stranger?" He finished off his post by saying he needed to get that off his chest and it was "not a moan". Fans and celeb friends such as Paris Hilton, Amanda Holden and Kris Jenner all left messages saying they understood the difficult situation.
