Actress Ruby Lin makes a trip to Singapore, with fellow celeb Vivian Hsu playing tour guide
49-year-old actrress Ruby Lin and her close friend, Taiwanese actress Vivian Hsu were seen taking a stroll near Marina Bay Sands. PHOTOS: LOVERUBY_OFFICIAL/INSTAGRAM SINGAPORE - Despite her celebrity status, Taiwanese actress Ruby Lin has shown she is not shy to strike the classic Merlion pose that is so beloved by tourists when she is in town. In her June 7 Instagram post, the 49-year-old star and her close friend, Singapore-based Taiwanese actress Vivian Hsu, are seen taking a stroll near Marina Bay Sands. Wearing a white top and denim bottoms, Lin tilts her head backwards and angles herself so that it looks like the stream of water spouting from the iconic sculpture is going into her open mouth. Other photos capture the pair posing on a bench outside the ArtScience Museum, with Hsu, 50, wrapping her arms around Lin. In her caption, Lin joked that it was only under her 'tour guide, companion-cum-photographer and dear sister' Hsu's recommendation that she took such 'tourist photos', adding that as long as she is not embarrassed, the embarrassment will only be felt by others. Hsu, who divorced Singapore-based businessman Sean Lee in 2023, has a nine-year-old son. She revealed in November 2024 that she was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the beginning of that year, and had undergone surgery to treat the condition. Lin tied the knot with Taiwanese actor Wallace Huo in 2016, before giving birth to their daughter in 2017.

BBC will not be renewing celebrity chef Nadiya Hussain's cooking shows
BBC has discontinued its relationship with British celebrity chef and author Nadiya Hussain's after 10 years. Since winning the sixth season of the British broadcaster's The Great British Bake Off (2010 to present) in 2015, she has helmed several television shows for BBC, including Nadiya's Simple Spices (2023), Nadiya Bakes (2020), Nadiya's Family Favourites (2018) and Nadiya's British Food Adventure (2017). In a video uploaded on Instagram on June 5, the 40-year-old Muslim called the development a 'huge turning point' for her, saying: 'It was huge because I was already on this steady trajectory of change and I was thinking of where I want my career to go. And BBC decided that they didn't want to commission the show anymore, it really did kind of solidify everything for me, and it really made me kind of dig in my heels and think.' She added: 'It's been a huge change for me, but one that I am really excited about. One that I want to move in a positive direction. And ultimately I want to work with people who believe in the voices of people like me.' A BBC spokesperson confirmed the news, saying in a statement: 'After several wonderful series, we have made the difficult decision not to commission another cookery show with Nadiya Hussain at the moment. 'Nadiya remains a much-valued part of the BBC family, and we look forward to working together on future projects.' On top of being a presenter on her slew of food shows, Hussain was signed by publisher Penguin Michael Joseph for her first cookbook, Nadiya's Kitchen (2016). She also authored Bake Me A Story (2016), a compilation of 15 stories and recipes for children, which was subsequently shortlisted for Children's Book of the Year at the British Book Awards in 2017.
