Lorraine Kelly's secret about Buckingham Palace visit
The Gorbals TV presenter made the admission during a discussion about a viral video filmed inside the palace by reality TV couple Jamie Laing and Sophie Habboo.
Their clip, which appeared to parody Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's recent Baby Mama dance video, drew criticism for violating the palace's strict no-filming policy.
While describing the video as 'a bit naughty', the morning TV presenter confessed that she too had once bent the rules during her own royal visit.

ITV's Political Editor, Paul Brand, commented: "I mean, they were breaking protocol. I personally feel that, as a very aggrieved news broadcaster, if I did that, I'd definitely be off to the tower.
"They've got really strict rules about filing in Buckingham Palace, and then if you're an influencer, you can get away with it! You can get away with anything. I hear that you got away with it, Lorraine?"
To which Lorraine jokingly responded: "Well, I may or may not have taken a sneaky photograph. I'll tell you for why, that painting reminded me so much of Joe Lycett! I had to take a picture because that's Joe Lycett! He's had another life."

The morning star added: 'I know I'm not supposed to do that.
'I'll get into trouble. I shan't ever do it again.'
One of her guests asked whether she had been reprimanded for the photo, to which Lorraine replied: 'No, I don't think they knew… well, they do now, so I'm in trouble!'
It turns out this wasn't Lorraine's only brush with royal protocol — she once posed with TV editor Victoria Kennedy in the grand hallway of the palace and shared the photo on Instagram.

Brooklyn Beckham breaks silence with touching gesture towards family amid ongoing feud
David and Victoria Beckham's eldest son Brooklyn Beckham has reached out to his family in a touching social media post amid rumours of an ongoing feud Brooklyn Beckham has made his first public gesture towards his family on social media, sharing a heartfelt message. The eldest son of David and Victoria Beckham posted a touching birthday tribute to his grandmother, Sandra. He said: 'Happy birthday nanny xx love you so much," along side two heart emojis. The post is believed to mark the first time Brooklyn has publicly acknowledged his family amid reports of a bitter family feud. However, insiders remain convinced that a reconciliation with his parents is unlikely. One source stated: "At present it feels like there is too much to overcome.' It comes as it was revealed last month that the wanna be chef was in London at the same time as his dad, but kept his visit a secret. A picture uploaded to Instagram showed Brooklyn drinking a pint in a pub, as bottles of his own-band hot sauce on the table in front of him, the Mirror reports. The pub may have seemed unrecognisable to outsiders, but those close to the Beckhams quickly recognised the distinctive light fittings and bold green walls in the background. One pal stated: "The picture was taken in London's Wigmore pub, which is part of the Langham Hotel where the Beckhams have sometimes stayed." "The fact that Brooklyn was in the country and failed to see any of his family was heartbreaking. And not only that, but here he was posting about it.' Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola Peltz, 30, had travelled to London for a joint photoshoot with Italian luxury fashion brand Moncler - which took place less than two miles from the Beckham family's Holland Park home. His dad, David was also nearby that day, appearing alongside the King at the Chelsea Flower show. A friend shared: 'Brooklyn had kept the visit quiet from not only his mum and dad but his siblings and extended family. It was terribly sad that he had flown thousands of miles to London and hadn't engaged at all. It would have been very easy to meet up.' In a separate Instagram post on May 16, Brooklyn paid tribute to Nicola's late grandmother, sharing a photo to mark the anniversary of her passing. He wrote: "I miss you and will love you forever." A source stated: "Brooklyn's heart is of course in the right place…but it hasn't gone unnoticed how all the while he is posting about Nicola's family he is silent about his own, including his own grandfather whose birthday it was last week." Those familiar with the family suggest that what they believe are "performative" social media posts are Nicola's doing. They express concerns that she may be influencing or even directing Brooklyn's online activity - which they say feels out of character - and suggest she is playing a role in distancing him from his friends and family. A pal close to the family, stated: "She is creating conflict where there is none and divides are springing up left, right and centre." Although a source close to the couple has hit back at comments of Nicola being "controlling" towards her husband, and claims that Brooklyn is very much his own man. The source, said: "She is not isolating him at all. He is free to do what he wants and he loves his wife and they are happy together. They are each other's family."

The Thai Diner team is taking over their old Uncle Boons Sister spot
Five years and one pandemic later, Ann Redding and Matt Danzer's Thai-inspired diner—aptly named Thai Diner —continues to thrive. Most days, the street corner on Kenmare and Mott Streets spots a steady crowd, with diners vying for brunches of Thai tea French toast and disco fries. But that's not to say that the husband-and-wife team hasn't experienced the ups and downs of owning a restaurant in NYC: After running one of the most acclaimed Thai restaurants in the city for seven years running, Uncle Boons became a pandemic casualty, closing in 2020. The spirit of Boons—one of creative Thai cooking paired with all-American comfort—stayed alive, though, through their follow-up restaurant, Uncle Boons Sister, a casual, dine-in locale that not only helped with overflow but became its own hub for curry dishes and laab. But after transitioning to takeout and delivery only, the restaurant also shuttered its doors in 2020. All these years later, however, it seems as though Redding and Danzer have retained the keys to that very front door, as the couple is reportedly dropping a brand-new concept in the old storefront. Come this summer, Mommy Pai's will open in the 203 Mott Street location. As reported by Eater NY, the new takeout-only spot will be a 'Thai chicken fingers and tropical fruit drinks concept,' according to a spokesperson of the restaurant. It seems as though the restaurant idea has quietly been in works for a while, as the first Instagram post announcing the new concept dropped all the way back in September 2024.
