Cheryl makes TV comeback after ex Liam Payne's tragic death
Girls Aloud star Cheryl has made her long-awaited return to the limelight after the tragic death of her ex-boyfriend and father of her son, Liam Payne, who passed away in 2024 Cheryl has made a triumphant return to the limelight following the heartbreaking loss of her former partner, Liam Payne. The 42 year old pop star is making waves in a glamorous video promoting skincare giant Nivea, marking a fresh start after months out of the public eye. The campaign, launched today, features the mum-of-one confidently walking into a studio before settling down in front of the camera and lights. Cheryl coyly hides her face behind a newspaper dated 'August 2025'. A tantalising message then appears: "A New Era, Tomorrow". Nivea teased fans with the clip, captioning it: "This is right up our street. Tomorrow. 9am. A new era of skincare... guess who's joining us?". It comes after Vogue Williams quits drinking after blacking out drunk at lavish showbiz wedding. One thrilled fan commented beneath the video: "Our beauty is back!!!" Another enthused: "I don't care what it is. I need to buy it! Cheryl's backkkk!". Cheryl was left heartbroken when One Direction star Liam, 31, tragically fell from his hotel balcony in Argentina in October. Despite parting ways in 2018, the couple maintained a close relationship for their son's sake. Liam expressed at the time: "We still have so much love for each other as a family. Bear is our world." Cheryl, who welcomed Bear, eight, with One Direction star Liam in 2017, was appointed to manage Liam's estate following his untimely death. She was given control over his £28,595,000 fortune and has made arrangements to set aside the money for their son until he reaches 25. This news comes as The Sun disclosed that the former X Factor judge is poised to make a TV comeback after five years and is in advanced discussions to be a mentor on The Voice. A telly insider revealed to The Sun: " and Cheryl first collaborated 16 years ago and have remained good friends ever since." She was the obvious choice to mentor his team when the Battle Rounds return four years after being axed. "A lot has transpired in Cheryl's personal life since she last worked on a talent show - BBC's The Greatest Dancer - so she's taking baby steps to put herself back out there." Teaming up with as a guest mentor seems the perfect way to kick-start her comeback. "The ITV series is slated to air in early 2026 and bosses are hopeful of persuading Cheryl to commit to the show permanently. Earlier Cheryl was seen in public for the first time this year following a terrifying stalker incident. A convicted murderer who left Cheryl "terrified" has been put behind bars. The pop star was deeply concerned for her son's safety when Daniel Bannister persistently turned up at her residence just weeks after Payne's funeral.

Christopher Biggins gives health update after surgery
Christopher Biggins gives health update after surgery The 76-year-old star has started taking medication Christopher Biggins attends the National Reality TV Awards 2025 on July 30, 2025 Actor Christopher Biggins has revealed he is using weight loss jabs as he needed to lose weight after having surgery on his knee. Porridge star Biggins, 76, said he is taking Mounjaro, which is made by Eli Lilly, who have joined forces with the Government in a bid to tackle obesity. He told GB News: 'I'm on Mounjaro… and I think it's good. I mean, I had a new knee put in, and I needed to lose weight because of the pressure on the knee.' Biggins also claimed that 'they're now finding out that this drug can cure a lot of other things' and added that 'we don't know the side effects' of it yet. In March, Biggins revealed that he had a 'pig valve' inserted into his heart and without the controversial operation he would be dead. Speaking to the Daily Express, the star said: "I am 76 and I've had a new valve put into my heart. A pigs valve." He continued: "My pig's heart is fantastic. You can either have a plastic one or a pig's one and I went for the pig's one. It was about three years ago and I've just had my check up and its all A1. "It's a marvellous operation." So risky was the operation that Biggins said he told his long-time partner Neil that he was going in to have a stent inserted as he didn't want him to worry. Biggins said: "They actually take the heart out of your body and it sits next to you when you are lying on the operating theatre. It's a major operation but luckily I had wonderful doctors and they were terrific. It's worked out brilliantly. It saves people and makes you live longer. So we have to blame the doctors and surgeons who are keeping us all alive. I take a drug and that's it." Article continues below Biggins revealed he has secretly battled skin cancer, saying "you just have to go on", as he said he has made a recovery after finding the melanoma. He also revealed that although happy to be alive, he couldn't think of anything worse than living over the age of 100. He said: "You just have to go on but the trouble is we are all living far too long. But I saw the other day Bear Grylls was saying he would like to live to 200 and I thought 'God, the thought of living to 100 is bad enough, not 200'. Stupid man. But I don't want to go on and on and on. " Weight loss jabs have been hailed as transformative by health leaders. The phased NHS roll-out of Lilly's weight loss jab Mounjaro to patients in England started in June for people with a body mass index (BMI) over 40 and at least four co-morbidities. Over the next three years, about 240,000 patients are expected to be eligible for the treatment. A number of celebrities have used medication, such as Ozempic, in a bid to control their weight, including former X Factor judge Sharon Osbourne. Article continues below Wegovy and Ozempic are semaglutide drugs, while Mounjaro is another weight loss treatment called tirzepatide. Chef Heston Blumenthal recently warned that weight loss drugs will have a negative effect on the food industry.

EastEnders confirms passionate Ben and Callum reunion after death of character
Ballum fans, get ready. The brief reunion of your favourite EastEnders couple is about to begin. For those of you out of the loop, Ballum is, of course, portmanteau – or ship name – for Ben Mitchell (Max Bowden) and Callum Highway (Tony Clay). The two have been estranged since early last year, but new photos show them embracing one another at a very sad occasion for the Highway clan. While the full details of his return plot haven't been revealed, we know that he will be in Walford for the funeral of Jonno, the father of Stuart (Ricky Champ) and Callum. New pictures taken from the churchyard show Callum having an intense confrontation with his husband, as Johnny Carter (Charlie Suff) stands beside him. This seems to be just moments after Ben climbs out of a black car in handcuffs. The two begin to kiss, which seems to evoke jealous in Callum's new bit on the side. Another snap shows them stood side by side, almost turning their backs on one another. Things clearly get heated between the men, as Callum holds out his hand in frustration and Stuart giving a disapproving look in Johnny's direction. Ben is completely absent in another photo as Jonno's coffin is lowered into the ground. Johnny comforts Callum, who looks pained and tearful, with Ben wiping away his own tears. It's going to be a rollercoaster of emotions! Max will return alongside Ricky as Ben and Stuart for the story later in the autumn. Ben will be on day release from prison in America, while Stuart will only visit due to having a life away from Albert Square with Rainie (Tanya Franks). Jonno, portrayed by Richard Graham, appeared in just four episodes in 2019. Whitney Dean (Shona McGarty) – then engaged to Callum – reached out to him, unaware that he has abused both Callum and Stuart in their childhood. Making himself out to be a changed man, his true colours soon shone through when he fought with Ben and used homophobic language, and then pinned Callum up against a wall. Jonno was subsequently thrown out of Walford, and upon his return two months later, was surprised to hear that Callum's wedding to Whit' hadn't gone ahead. Callum came out as gay, and a disgusted Jonno accused Ben of turning his son 'into one of them'. Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) dealt a menacing punch, and Jonno threatened to go to the police. The punters in the Queen Vic, including Whitney, all decided to deny seeing Phil attack him. Ben went to prison because he was arrested for stealing someone's credit card, and making a number of purchases while exploring treatment options for Lola – who had a brain tumour – in the States. Ben and Callum vowed to make their relationship work while he was behind bars, but absence certainly hasn't made the heart grow fonder. More Trending Callum and Johnny shared a surprise smooch during the Pride event at The Prine Albert, which effectively ended Johnny's romance with recently departed Felix Baker (Matthew James Morrison).
