Lorraine Kelly takes savage swipe at Love Island cast's appearances
Lorraine Kelly had no problems sharing what she thought about the new Love Island cast on her ITV show this morning, as the host spoke about the dangers of social media filters Lorraine Kelly has shared her thoughts on the new Love Island cast - and she's not holding back. On Thursday mornings episode of her ITV show, Lorraine, the host discussed the dangers of social media filters. Joined by Emily Clarkson and journalist Lucie Cave, the trio discussed Emily's viral social media video, in which she discussed how easy it was to manipulate the internet by adding filters to pictures and videos. The 30-year-old daughter of Jeremy Clarkson spoke about how "catastrophic it was that young girls sit at home and compare themselves to people who had heavily edited themselves. The conversation then moved on to ITV2 show Love Island. Despite admitting she didn't watch the show, Lorraine couldn't escape from seeing clips online. Speaking about the cast - the 65-year-old host had no problem airing her true feelings, as she said: "Programmes like Love Island... to me, they all look exactly the blinking same. "Why do you all want to look the same? Why do you want to have that same sort of look about you?" Lorraine questioned. "Children, I mean they're in their 20s, and they're having work done. It's heartbreaking," she continued. "It's crazy," as Lucie spoke about the Love Island effect, referring to the increased demand for cosmetic procedures, particularly among young people. The Love Island contestants haven't even been in the villa a week, but there's been plenty of drama. During Tuesday's episode, fans were left fuming when Sophie Lee was brutally dumped from the villa after just two days. Despite not initially being at risk of an early exit, the motivational speaker and author was abruptly booted out of the villa after her man Harry was chosen by newly single Shakira. Shakira had just 24 hours to woo another man, after her partner Ben was stolen by American bombshell Toni. Blu, Conor and Harry all chose to opt for Shakira, knowing full well she'd only be able to pick one of them. Shakira ended up picking 30-year-old Harry, meaning Sophie was newly single and dumped from the villa, leaving fans fuming. However, Sophie on the other hand had no hard feelings as she wished the Islanders the best. Sophie said: "I gave it everything I could. I'm very grateful for the experience it's taught me so much about who I am, how I communicate and what I am looking for. I wish Harry all the best, he genuinely deserves a girl who makes him happy."

Why does King Charles have two birthdays?
Why does King Charles have two birthdays? This weekend, we will see the Trooping the Colour which takes place every year in June to mark the official birthday of the Sovereign, although King Charles' actual birthday is in November. King Charles III arriving at last year's Trooping the Colour ceremony (Image: PA ) King Charles is gearing up to celebrate his official birthday this Saturday, June 14, with the annual Trooping the Colour, a grand event that draws in the Royal family and thousands of Royal enthusiasts. Despite his actual birthday falling in November, the Trooping the Colour is traditionally held every June. This dual birthday celebration isn't unique to King Charles, as Queen Elizabeth II and many former monarchs also marked their official birthdays with the Trooping the Colour, separate from their actual birth dates. It's a ceremonial event performed every year in the Horse Guards Parade in London by regiments of Household Division. But why does the monarch have two birthdays and why isn't the Trooping the Colour aligned with the King's real birthday? For our free daily briefing on the biggest issues facing the nation, sign up to the Wales Matters newsletter here The explanation lies in two quintessentially British factors: tradition and weather. The practice of the King having two birthdays is rooted in a centuries-old tradition established by successive monarchs. Article continues below The inaugural Trooping the Colour is thought to have taken place during the reign of King Charles II, who ruled from 1660 to 1685. However, it wasn't until 1748 that the parade was designated as the official birthday celebration of the Sovereign, becoming an annual fixture after George III ascended to the throne in 1760. However, it was King Edward VII, reigning from 1901 to 1910 and born in November, who initiated the tradition of observing Trooping the Colour in June. For those monarchs whose birthdays occur at various times throughout the year, they celebrate their ceremonial birthday in June, whilst marking their actual birthdays on their birth dates. Despite his actual birthday being November 14 when he will turn 77, the King's official birthday is commemorated in June due to a decision made over a century ago, largely driven by the quintessentially British desire for pleasant weather. When planning his birthday festivities, King Edward VII determined that much like King Charles III, his birth month of November wasn't the most suitable time for a large outdoor gathering. Consequently, he shifted Trooping the Colour to May or June, when there was less likelihood of cold, drizzly weather spoiling the day. The subsequent monarch, George V, conveniently had an actual birthday in June. However, Queen Elizabeth II's father, George VI, whose birthday was in December, revived the tradition of an official summer birthday, which Elizabeth II has maintained. (Image: Getty Images ) There's a chance that upon his ascension to the throne, Prince William might only celebrate one birthday, given that his actual birth date already falls in June (specifically, on the 21st). In a similar vein, Prince George, whose birthday is also during the summer months (July 22), may choose to stick with just one birthday celebration once he assumes the role of King. This could potentially see the longstanding tradition of monarchs having two birthdays fade away for several decades. Article continues below

Her mother, Helena, played the Red Queen, starring opposite Johnny Depp as a Mad Hatter and Mia Wasikowska as Alice. Nell was then seen as a Little Girl at the Train Station in the 2012 fantasy comedy 'Dark Shadows'. She also made an appearance as Girl at Park in the biographical drama 'Big Eyes', about the life of the painter Margaret Keane. And she appeared as Unnamed classmate in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

The Crown star Helena Bonham Carter says 'it's our duty' to tell viewers it's fiction Sweeney Todd actress Helena, 59, and Tim, 66, went on to have an unconventional marriage. The couple famously lived together in adjoining houses in Belsize Park, North London, before knocking them together. They had two children Billy, 22, and Nell, 17, but split in 2014. They remained friends after the split with Helena branding the director 'very generous'. She said at the time: 'You go through massive grief — it is a death of a relationship, so it's utterly bewildering. 'Your identity, everything, changes. 'Luckily I've kept both houses. He was very generous.' Helena is now with writer and academic Rye Dag Holmboe, who at 37 is 22 years her junior. And Tim is with Bond girl and model Monica Bellucci, 66, who presented him with a lifetime achievement award at the Lumière Film Festival in Lyon in 2022. Nell's older brother has also made appearances in several of their father's movies. 5 Both children have made appearances in their father's films Credit: Getty
