Alison Hammond's son Aidan reveals he'd flee home after disputes with star
The 20-year-old, who Hammond shares with her former fiancé Noureddine Boufaied, features alongside the This Morning presenter on the latest series of Celebrity Gogglebox.
Speaking on the Spin Justice podcast, Aidan said: 'When we were in the flat, she [his grandmother] had a house pretty much opposite us, so we could literally leave and run across the road.
'So, when my mum was doing my head in, I'd just go to my nan's' he explained.
Hammond's mother Maria died of lung and liver cancer in January 2020. The 20-year-old said he and his grandmother shared a 'very, very close' bond throughout his life.
'She's passed away now, but we were very close all the time – me, my mum and my nan – and that was kind of the little trio,' he said.
Hammond and her son will be joined by the presenter's sister, Sandra, on the new series of Celebrity Gogglebox, who the TV star has described as 'fabulous'.
She said in a statement ahead of the series: 'I'm so excited to be doing Celebrity Gogglebox with my son Aidan. We've always loved watching telly together and now we get to do it on the sofa for the nation.
'It's a real family affair too because my fabulous sister Sandra is getting involved as well. Expect laughs, eye rolls and lots of commentary, classic Hammond style!'
The 50-year-old This Morning star is now dating 27-year-old masseuse David Putman, who she says is 'so mature and sensible' despite their significant age gap.
Of Putman's relationship with her son, the presenter previously told the Parenting Hell podcast: 'When they met, he really liked him and thought he was lovely – and thank goodness for that! Normally, Aidan hates anyone I date.'
Celebrity Gogglebox airs on Fridays at 9pm on Channel 4.

James Gunn Says SUPERMAN Is Packed With Easter Eggs, Including a Mural That Tells the Story of DC's Metahumans — GeekTyrant
James Gunn is making it clear that Superman is a love letter to the deep lore of DC Comics, and according to the filmmaker, fans should keep an eye out for Easter egg because they are everywhere in the film. At a recent fan event in London's Leicester Square, where 30 minutes of Superman footage was screened ahead of its July 11 release, Gunn, producer Peter Safran, and cast members David Corenswet, Rachel Brosnahan, and Nicholas Hoult offered a few insights into what fans can expect. Among the highlights? Gunn's tease about just how loaded this film is when it comes to deep-cut DC references. "This is the most Easter egg-laden movie I've ever made. I have a lot of easter eggs in this movie. I mean every character in the movie is practically from the comic books. 'Everyone in Lex's control room — all those people are characters from the comics… Every street in the movie is named after a comic book writer or artist." But the real gem here might be the massive mural Gunn teased, which appears in a key scene and offers a glimpse into the long and mysterious history of metahumans in the DCU. Gunn explained: 'Most of the businesses are either named after either a comic book writer or artist, or they are named after businesses that exist within the DC Universe, on the page. 'Later on, there's an iconic scene with a huge, huge mural in the background that tells you the story of metahumans in the DCU and that's going to be really, really fun when we release those images to the public. So the stuff goes deep, it's really really fun and it was really fun creating the world. 'That was one of the reasons why I like DC a lot because it isn't New York and Los Angeles, it's Gotham and Central City and Evergreen. It's really creating another world, with other rules and other things that are common." According to rumors, this mural may include the Justice Society of America, hinting that the new DCU won't be treating Superman as the first hero, but rather the latest in a long line of costumed champions. If true, that tracks with the way Gunn has talked about building a DCU with legacy and myth baked into its foundations. It also echoes Young Justice and its metagene concept, where most Earth-born metahumans owe their powers to ancient bloodlines or mystical events, many of them traced back to Vandal Savage. This is pretty cool!

Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr 'Grasp Onto' Their Friendship as the Only Living Members of The Beatles
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr opened up about their decades-long bond in a new interview McCartney said that since their Beatles bandmates John Lennon and George Harrison are dead, their friendship has become even more special Starr also reminisced about writing — and failing to write — songs for The BeatlesRingo Starr and Paul McCartney have a very special bond. The longtime friends — who are famously one half of The Beatles — reflected on their bond in a July 2 profile of Starr in The New York Times. In The Beatles, the pair were joined by John Lennon, who was murdered in 1980 at age 40, and George Harrison, who died from cancer in 2001 at age 58. 'With John and George not here, I think we realize nothing lasts forever,' McCartney, 83, told the outlet. 'So we grasp onto what we have now because we realize that it's very special. It's something hardly anyone else has. In fact, in our case, it's something no one else has. There's only me and Ringo, and we're the only people who can share those memories.' In December, McCartney and Starr, 84, reunited on stage for the first time in five years. Starr joined McCartney to perform 'Helter Skelter' during McCartney's show at London's O2 Arena. McCartney told the outlet that even though the song is 'an out-and-out rocker,' he still ended up getting 'a little bit emotional' to be on stage again with his longtime friend. Much of the profile focused on Starr's place in The Beatles as well as his legacy as a drummer; fellow drummers Max Weinberg and Sheila E. weighed in on Starr's underappreciated talent. 'It's the most ludicrous and funny argument that, you know, you had these three talented singer-songwriters up front, and then you had the guy who got lucky,' Weinberg — a member of The E Street Band who was also Conan O'Brien's bandleader on Late Night — said. 'That was so far from the case, if you really go back and talk to people who were in that scene. To get Ringo in what became The Beatles was a coup for the three of them.' 'He was a fantastic drummer,' McCartney echoed. 'We asked him if he would be in our band, and luckily for us he agreed.' Starr also sang lead vocals on a handful of Beatles tracks, but he was the last member of the band to start writing songs. 'It's hard to come to the front when you've got John and Paul,' he told the Times of songwriting. His earliest attempts ended up more humorous than anything else. 'I'd say, 'I've got this song.' And halfway through they'd all be laying on the floor laughing, because I wasn't writing new songs. I was writing new words to old songs,' he said. McCartney remembered, 'We'd say, 'Yeah, that's a great one. That's a great Bob Dylan song.' ' The band ultimately released two songs Starr wrote solo, "Don't Pass Me By" and "Octopus's Garden,' and he was co-writer on songs like "What Goes On" and "Flying.' The Beatles were ultimately active from 1960 until they broke up in 1970. Starr also reflected on his bond with McCartney back in 2023. 'Paul loves me as much as I love him,' he told AARP magazine. 'He's the brother I never had.' He told the outlet in a video that joining The Beatles widely expanded the people closest to his heart. 'As an only child, suddenly I got three brothers. We looked out for each other,' he said. Never miss a story — sign up for to stay up-to-date on the best of what PEOPLE has to offer, from celebrity news to compelling human interest stories. In 2023, McCartney and Starr released 'Now and Then,' the final Beatles song. The song was started by Lennon before his death, and the three surviving members of the band tried to finish it in the 1990s. But the original tape of Lennon's demo had too much background noise, and it was only when Peter Jackson created the 2021 documentary Get Back that McCartney and Starr learned of and got access to technology that could make clear the performance Lennon had left on the tape.

Lily Allen gets candid about abortions: ‘I've had a few but I can't remember how many'
Lily Allen has made a shock confession about her past, revealing that when she was younger, she had many unwanted pregnancies and multiple abortions. 'I would get pregnant all the time,' she told her friend and Miss Me? podcast co-host Miquita Oliver. 'Abortions, I've had a few. But then again I can't remember exactly how many. I think maybe like, I want to say four or five'. 'I remember once getting pregnant and the man paying for my abortion and me thinking it was so romantic,' she said. She added that the man never contacted her again after the procedure and she no longer thinks the gesture is 'generous or romantic.' 'Fair [to be honest], I was a f******n crazy b****, still am,' the singer added. READ MORE| Lily Allen is left heartbroken after finding husband David Harbour on celeb dating app Lily (40), who has two daughters, Ethel Mary (13) and Marnie Rose (11), with ex-husband Sam Cooper, says she now uses an IUD for contraception. 'I'm on my third or fourth and I just remember before that it was a disaster area.' She went on to express her frustration at the social pressure to justify abortions. 'It actually irritates me and I've said it before on the record. 'I've seen memes going around sometimes, on Instagram from pro-abortion accounts or whatever, whenever this conversation comes up and suddenly you start seeing people posting things about extraordinary reasons for having an abortion. 'Like: 'My aunt had a kid that had this disability,' or whatever, 'if she went full term it was going to kill her, so we have to.' It's like, shut up! 'Just: 'I don't want a f***ing baby right now – is enough reason.'' This isn't the first time Lily has been candid with her view on abortions. In 2022 she spoke out against the US Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v Wade, a landmark case which eliminated the federal constitutional right to abortion. 'Most people I know, myself included, just didn't want to have a f***ing baby and that is reason enough. We don't have to justify it,' she said. 'It shouldn't have to be said and I think all these examples just play into the hands of the baddies.' It's been a tough year for Lily, who announced her split from her husband, actor David Harbour, after four years and sought treatment at a mental health facility. She has credited her daughters with helping her get through this difficult time. 'We are a support network for each other and encourage each other to talk about our feelings but I think the main thing is telling them we're going to get through it and be fine,' she said. She previously shared on her podcast she's in better spirits. 'I'm not saying I'm 100 percent there. I'm not saying that I'm getting it 100 percent right or ever will. But I'm definitely in a stronger place.'
