Will Poulter 'splits from older girlfriend' as romance rumours with Top Boy actress heat up
Will Poulter is said to have split from his model girlfriend after three years together. The Bear star, 32, and model Bobby T, 45, have reportedly quietly gone their separate ways, with rumours suggesting Will has already moved on.
The duo were initially spotted kissing in 2022, but have now called time on their romance, according to reports. It has led to speculation Will is getting to know Top Boy actress Saffron Hocking.
Will and Saffron, 31, were seen having lunch together recently after they had enjoyed time together at Glastonbury last month. Speaking of Will and Bobby's romance, a source said the pair realised their connection "wasn't going to last long term".
It's said Bobby's main priority remains her son and she lives in America. Will, meanwhile is said to have struggled with balancing the distance and work.
The source continued to tell The Sun: "He's known Saffron for a while but they have been spending more time together recently. They were both hosted by Barbour at Glasto and got on like a house on fire. It's very early days and while they might be telling people they are just friends, the sparks between them are obvious to everyone."
Saffron starred in the Netflix series of Top Boy as Lauryn. She played the part of the pregnant mum-to-be who suffers domestic abuse before deciding to take matters into her own hands. Her performance earned her a TV BAFTA nomination.
It's thought Will and Saffron first met two years ago. At the time they were both said to be working on a Friend of the Earth campaign.
Born and raised in London, Will first broke into the acting industry when he was just 13 years old. While his career was taking off, the young actor was privately dealing with an OCD diagnosis.
Earlier this year, he opened up about the condition during an appearance on Fearne Cotton's Happy Place podcast. He revealed that he was diagnosed as a teenager and said he recalled having intrusive thoughts, a common symptom of OCD, throughout his childhood.
However, he said the issue had a child-like 'imaginative spin' as he was growing up. The actor explained: "It [the OCD] just had a different and typically imaginative spin on it for a child. I can remember having this voice in my head, telling me if I didn't walk on certain paving stones on the way up to my mum and dad's house, something terrible was going to happen to them."
"I was really lucky. I got access to therapy in my early teens. I was probably 14 when I first started experiencing obsessive compulsive thoughts and the ruminations and intrusive thoughts," he added.
Will also confessed: "Until it was diagnosed and until I received that therapy, I just thought I was totally alone with this condition, or not even condition at that time, this way of thinking, with this defunct brain. I was so scared.
"And that I think is the scariest thing about any mental health issues and you can never underestimate how alone someone can feel in their state."

Strictly and BBC star Anita Rani spotted cosying up to mystery man at gig after split with husband of 14 years
STRICTLY Come Dancing and BBC star Anita Rani has been spotted cosying up to a mystery man at a gig, after splitting from her husband of 14 years. The British radio and television presenter split from her husband Bhupi Rehal in 2023 after 14 years of marriage. 5 5 5 5 The couple initially met at a warehouse party in London and bonded over their shared love of music. The couple tied the knot six months later in a three-day Indian wedding in 2009 which Anita had previously described as 'bonkers'. Now, the single star has been seen with a mystery man looking cosy, as they attended a gig. The TV star was seen watching Lankum and Mogwai at South Facing Festival in Crystal Palace park. The star rocked a casual look in a pink and red striped top and shorts, and was pictured walking besides a man in a denim top, appearing to hold hands. A source told The Sun: 'Anita and this bloke were clearly very close and more than just friends - she was wrapped around him in the VIP area then they walked off into the crowd together looking really happy.' Anita's rep had no comment when approached by The Sun. She had previously called being single 'uncharted territory' when the couple first split. With their busy work schedules said to be a contributing factor, she moved into her former London flat purchased 20 years prior. Anita Rani falls in love with property in Dungeness after marriage split At the time she was juggling a jam-packed work schedule, which included the launch of her debut novel, Baby Does A Runner, about a British Asian woman in search of her identity, in July 2023. When the news broke she told The Sun at the time: "It's liberating that people know that I'm single now." "Not everything works out. Things come to their natural conclusion. That is absolutely fine." She also said at the time that there was 'no shame' in being single and living your best life in your 40s. "There is light, and the light is good!" "I'm single. I'm child-free, I'm in my mid-40s and I have never felt better, sexier, more powerful or more excited about the future." She also told how she was paying attention to her own needs: "I'm just making sure I take time out to do things I want to do." "I'm very aware that, with the things I want to do in life, I'd quite like to do them now and not wait." "I kind of live by the mantra of 'life is too short'." She continued: "This is a new chapter in my life but I'm ready to open that book and see what's in store for me because the future is exciting." "My philosophy is 'the best is yet to come'."

Katie has previously bashed those working with her daughter after The Sun revealed her secret heartache about being cut out of her TV show - and has vowed not to watch it. It now turns out that Princess was filming the show in Ibiza at the same time as her mum was on the party island. However, in a shock revelation Katie revealed that she bumped into Princess' film crew, but she wasn't allowed to see her daughter. Speaking on the latest edition of The Katie Price Show podcast, she revealed: "When I was in Ibiza, Princess was there in Ibiza, and I wasn't allowed to meet up with her. "But funny enough, I walked into a bar, and there was a group of people and it was the producer of her show, and they came up to me and said, we're producing the show. I burst out crying and this producer would know it, and said, 'I'm so upset'. ''It's my daughter. I want to be involved. But that side stops me.'" Continuing, she said: "I was in tears and I never cry. "She saw how upset I was and I could see that she was in a situation because she knows it's right that I should be seeing support in my daughter, and I'm not.

Sources said producers deliberately cut the former glamour model out of forthcoming ITV2 show, The Princess Diaries, because it is 'not good for Princess to be seen with Katie'. In a bid to market the youngster as a pretty, middle-class influencer, they even turned down Katie's team's offer to film for free for three days. An insider previously told us: "Katie feels isolated and disregarded. "She loves Princess so much and is supremely proud of the young woman she is becoming. "But with all her expertise in the field, Kate obviously hoped to help steer her career — oversee contracts, advise her on press, that sort of thing. 6 Princess' documentary has put a strain on her relationship with her mum Credit: Getty 'She has seen and done it all, and hoped to instil some wisdom and advice on how to handle fame.

Also in the latest episode of The Katie Price Show, Pricey took a savage swipe at her ex Peter Andre - saying Princess is "scared to tell the truth". 6 Katie also took a swipe at her ex, Peter Andre Credit: Getty The former couple were married from 2005 to 2009, welcoming two children together. Speaking on her podcast, she said: "She needs to have knock backs to know, work and appreciate the industry. I've tried to tell her this. "I think she's just too scared because she doesn't want to upset the management and all of that. "Everything they get her, I know I can get her and I wouldn't take a cut. It's all about money at the end of the day." Katie added: "I am fuming about the situation but at the same time I want Princess to do well and I back her in every way. "I need to just air what it is. It has become a serious situation - and the family, we're all fuming about it. "Not one member of our family or anything are involved in anything Princess does. Why? Because we're not allowed."

Ibiza Final Boss Jack Kay reunites with barber behind unique haircut after going viral
Ali Kurbani, the master barber who created Jack Kay's iconic 'Ibiza Final Boss' haircut, has finally revealed exactly what the viral star asks for to achieve the quirky style The barber behind the world-famous 'Ibiza Final Boss' haircut has finally revealed exactly what Jack Kay asks for to achieve his iconic look. Ali Kurbani, the master barber at B&D Barbers in Blaydon, Newcastle, who created the signature style, has attracted attention from A-list celebrities and even inspired national ad campaigns. On Thursday, Ali welcomed Jack back into his chair before Jack heads off for another tour around Ibiza. Ali admitted he was surprised to see his work making headlines. It comes after the now infamous Ibiza Final Boss' girlfriend spoke out after his incredible haircut went viral. "I've been doing this job for a while, and this is incredible," he said. "We've been cutting Jack's hair for about 10 years and never expected this level of attention." READ MORE: BT warning for anyone who still has UK landline in their home Originally from Kurdistan, Ali explained that Jack has kept the same haircut for some time now. After much online speculation about the style - ranging from Robin Hood to a bowl cut or even a "short back and Battle of Hastings" - Ali finally set the record straight. 'To get this look, Jack asks for a medium skin fade with some length left on top,' Ali told The Sun. But the secret to the haircut's sharp, Lego-like shape lies in keeping the fringe crisp and well-defined at the front. At B&D Barbers, the 'Ibiza Boss' cut costs £26, though Jack, described by Ali as a 'very nice guy,' sometimes pays extra. Ali shared his excitement about the viral sensation, saying: "It made me really happy when I saw the video going viral, but it was definitely a surprise. "I'm so pleased about it all, and Jack is a great guy. It's wonderful to see this boost for our business, and I think he'll keep rocking the style." Jack returned to the barbershop on Thursday after his transformative trip to Ibiza. The reunion was emotional, with the pair celebrating the newfound fame of the Ibiza Final Boss haircut. Ali and Jack shared a warm embrace as the internet star walked back into the shop. The proud barber congratulated him, saying, "I saw what happened, congratulations!" Jack responded by telling Ali it was "crazy," as he got ready for a fresh trim. Jack went viral earlier this week after being filmed showing off his dance moves on the party island. Sporting a huge gold chain, sunglasses, Jack's unique haircut set him apart. Friends back in Lemington, Newcastle upon Tyne described Jack as a 'wheeler-dealer' in cars, and said he walks around town confidently sporting his quirky haircut, gold chain, and bright 'Turkey teeth'. "He thinks he's gorgeous," one told the Daily Mail. "He's not famous - he's a nobody. But now he's got a manager, so who knows what he'll be like when he's back home." His grandmother, Cynthia, said that she was a fan of Jack's haircut, saying: "I think it's alright, me. He is who he is. He's a happy-go-lucky lad. He's a nice guy." On Wednesday night, Jack, who has become known as the Ibiza Final Boss, addressed his new-found fame on Instagram, describing himself as 'just a normal person from Newcastle'. He thanked fans for their support, saying: "It's a lot to take in at the moment. Stay locked in, got some big news coming."
