"Thank you so much for all the lovely comments, I see them all and I appreciate every single one! Bye Lydia it's been a blast."
Discussing what she would like to do next, Rebecca told OK!: "I'd love to do a period piece, I've always wanted to do something like Downton Abbey, or Bridgerton. Something like that would be incredible. I'd love all of that, it would be amazing.
"I also love all the big dramas, like Succession. I think I'll go as far as to say it's the best thing I've ever watched. I just love it, so something like that would be incredible. A good, gritty drama."

Watch the moment Stephen Mulhern is left red-faced as he makes HUGE blunder on Catchphrase puzzle
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) STEPHEN Mulhern made the ultimate slip-up during the latest episode of Celebrity Catchphrase. The TV host was seen on Saturday in the latest episode of the gameshow favourite, joined by Jeremy Vine, Charlie Hedges and comedian Luke Kempner. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Stephen realised his mistake immediately and tried to stifle his laughter Credit: ITV 6 Luke Kempner couldn't help but mock the host as the truth came to light Credit: ITV 6 Stephen noted the prices had gone 'through the roof' which was the answer Credit: ITV As the group got to grips with the latest game – which shows famous sayings turned into cartoons for contestants to guess – Stephen found himself slipping up. Encouraging the gang to make a guess, the encouragement resulted in him accidentally spilling the answer himself. As the clip showed a man going into a coffee shop with rapidly increasing price tags until they burst through the ceiling, Stephen declared: "Literally, the prices have gone through the roof!" The contestants then stood in silence for a second as an embarrassed Stephen clocked what he had said. Jeremy Vine eventually broke the silence, pressing his buzzer and asking: "Sorry, what? Was that the answer?" Stephen then embarrassingly nodded and burst into fits of laughter alongside the cast and studio audience. "I have never in my life done that. In 10 years!" he admitted. Luke Kempner then joked: "I was just thinking 'this is a very tricky one, if it's not that!" before declaring Stephen had won himself £200. "We've got a bit of Catchphrase history here!" added Jeremy, poking fun and adding: "Roy Walker never did that." Stephen was soon crying with laughter before eventually regaining his composure and continuing with the game. Watch as three celebs fail to work out popular Catchphrase - but would you have got it on first try? Hopefully Stephen has learned his lesson - considering the show has already been given the go-ahead for an 11th series. If the three celebrities can 'say what they see' they could get the chance to win £50,000 for their chosen charity. ITV commissioner Gemma John-Lewis said: "We're delighted to announce a further series of the much loved family favourite, Celebrity Catchphrase. "The only show where you say what you see, the hugely popular series continues to win legions of fans and with Stephen's infectious and playful humour it's a firm favourite with our viewers." It is good news for the star after his other ITV programme, In For A Penny, was shelved after six years. 6 Stephen apologised and said it was the first time he'd made the mistake in 10 years Credit: ITV 6 The group burst out laughing when they realised what he'd done Credit: ITV

Lou is exactly what he needs because she is a calming influence on him and it's noticeable the change she's had on him to everyone around them.'

Noughties star who dated Katie Price and married Jodie Marsh unrecognisable now
Matt Peacock is now living a completely different life away from his noughties playboy lifestyle where he dated some of the biggest stars of the time Noughties playboy who dated Katie Price and married Jodie Marsh is completely unrecognisable now. Matt Peacock rose to fame two decades ago and was known for being in relationships with some of the biggest stars at the time. However, he is now living a different life and has settled down. Matt is looking completely different as he's swapped his glamourous lifestyle for a more calm family life. The 42-year-old is still working as a model and is now married to wife Rachael after tying the knot in 2016 and welcoming a daughter called Lily together in 2018. But, he is looking different as he has ditched his iconic bleach blonde hair for a more natural brunette look. Matt's Instagram pictures are full of fitness snaps including shirtless poses as well as posting family photos of his daughter and their two dogs. Despite leaving a life of fame behind, Matt and his wife still have celebrity friends. They still mix in celebrity circles as he is close with former Corrie star Ryan Thomas and shared snaps from his 40th birthday last June. Matt's career first began when he was signed to modelling agency Boss Model Management and starred in several high-profile campaigns. He is now signed to different agency Model Team. Katie Price and Matt first started dating a few months after she welcomed her first son Harvey with ex Dwight Yorke in 2002. The then 24-year-old star met 18-year-old Matt at a car show where she was modelling. The pair went on to have a short romance where they did a joint interview for a glossy magazine. However, the romance was short lived as they were together just two months but split after a big argument. It was said by friends that Matt was struggling with the media attention at the time. Matt's next romance was when he married Katie's rival Jodie Marsh. The pair ended up marrying on reality TV show Totally Jodie Marsh: Who'll Take Jodie Marsh Up The Aisle? in 2007. They tied the knot in the Sugar Hut nightclub in Brentwood, Essex but split just months later as Matt went on to say that Jodie was only interested in him because of his previous romance with Katie. Matt's next relationship was with glamour model Rhian Sugden. They were together for a year before they broke up before she was then put back into the spotlight for a texting affair she had with TV personality Vernon Kay in 2010. 2020 saw Matt open up about how he thought he might lose his career due to losing his hair. He told The Manchester Evening News at the time: "Losing my hair had been knocking my confidence for a few years and it was really affecting my day-to-day life. "I felt so much pressure to look good and keep the modelling jobs coming in to pay my bills and keep a roof over my family's head. Social media can be a big problem too, with such an expectation of perfection. We live in such an image-obsessed world. I went for a hair transplant and it has truly changed my life."
