Speaking on Loose Women, she explained how her mum's diet consisted of raw fish and healthy whole grain salads, though she wasn't interested in gym workouts.
She said: "I was as surprised as anyone else when I opened the fridge on coming home on the weekend and saw superfood salads and soups, I thought, what the hell is going on!

Newcastle Utd hero joins Sam Fender on stage in front of 50,000 fans
Fender told the crowd that his three-night run at St James' Park, seen by 150,000 fans, had been the 'best weekend of his life' Geordie superstar Sam Fender was joined on stage by his hero 'Big Dan Burn' for the last hometown gig of his world tour. Fender told the crowd that his three-night run at St James' Park, seen by 150,000 fans, had been the 'best weekend of his life'. For his final night, he had some special guests, including the Newcastle United and England star Dan Burn. The giant defender arrived with the Carabao Cup in his hands to a hero's welcome from the 50,000-strong crowd. He was a hero on Tyneside after scoring the Toon's opening goal in the 2-1 victory over Liverpool in March. Fender gave Burn, 33, a hug before the pair raised the trophy to cheers from the fans. Burn left the stage but then came back to say: "Thank you mum and dad" before he departed once more. There were then a number of special guests, including Fender's elder brother Liam on keyboards. The singer's former guitar teacher Phil Martin also made a guest appearance, and a random 17-year-old fan plucked from the audience. There was a montage of childhood photos of the band on the giant stage screen to mark Father's Day, including a snap of Fender with his dad Alan, an electrician turned music teacher who was a huge influence on his career. The North Shields born singer and Martin stood side by side for a cover of Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town". Easington Colliery Brass Band then appeared for 'Remember My Name' from the People Watching album, dedicated to the star's grandparents. At the end of the show, with a finale of fireworks and flames shooting through the night sky, Fender asked the crowd to donate to the charity Doctors Without Borders (Medecins Sans Frontieres). The singer is supporting their work in Gaza, describing their medics as 'real life heroes'. He told the crowd that he could not believe it was his fifth show at St James, the home of Newcastle United. "I never thought that I would say that," he added. "I want to just to take that in. "Thank you for the best weekend of my life." His two shows in June, 2023, attracted around 100,000 fans and were credited with boosting the local economy by around £15m. Dan Burn made his Wembley cup final appearance and then had another dream come true when he was called up for England after getting some tips from the son of Jack Charlton. The People Watching Tour is moving to Silverstone on July 3, then the US, Canada and Australia. *

Seventies TV star who shocked by posing naked for Playboy is unrecognizable as she's spotted in LA – can you guess who?
AN American TV icon who went from wholesome TV sister in the 70s to a sexy siren posing for Playboy in the 80s has been spotted on a day out in Los Angeles. The actress, 67, was seen embracing the heat in a summer dress during an errands run by her home, and still has effortless chic as she strolled in a pair of shades. 5 Judy became a massive star in the smash hit The Waltons in the 70s Credit: 5 The actress grew up on screen thanks to the show - but later tried to shed her image Credit: Getty 5 The Waltons followed the trials of the Walton family through the depression and WWII Credit: Getty Judy Norton shot to fame as Mary Ellen Walton in The Waltons from 1972 to 1981, becoming the sister figure for millions who tuned in every week to watch her. The Waltons followed the titular family – an expansive Virginia clan including Jason (Jon Walmsley), Erin (Mary Beth McDonough), Ben (Eric Scott), Elizabeth (Kami Cotler), Jim-Bob (David W. Harper), John Sr. (Ralph White), Olivia (Michael Learned) and Esther (Ellen Corby) – as they navigate the Great Depression era and World War II. As Mary Ellen, Judy appeared in all 212 episodes of the show's nine-season run, playing the oldest daughter of John and Olivia. Starting off as a tomboy figure in her younger years, Mary Ellen dreamed of a life away from the Walton Mountain before later pursuing a career as a nurse. But after the show ended, Judy was keen to shake off the image she had made during her nine years on screen, and in 1985 stripped off for Playboy Magazine. However, it was a decision she would later admit regretting, telling Fox News: 'I was getting a lot of advice from people who were representing me at the time. 'They felt it would be a good, positive career move. I wouldn't say that was the case and it's one of those things that if I knew then what I know now, I wouldn't have made the choice.' "I learned a lot of lessons from it, in terms of trusting my own instincts and decisions more than other people's, even though it seemed like they knew more than me,' she added. 'Ultimately, I'm the one that had to live with a difficult decision to make at the time. It is what it is. You can only go forward.' Since appearing in The Waltons, Judy has continued her career as an actress, appearing in episodes of TV series including Bluff, Beggars and Chooser, Stargate SG-1 and Disorganized Zone. Legendary Emmy-winning actress looks unrecognisable as she speaks about life-saving role She also reprised her role of Mary Ellen in a string of TV Movie Specials throughout the 90s, including A Walton Wedding, A Walton Thanksgiving Reunion and Mother's Day on Walton's Mountain. In 2020, amid the Covid-19 pandemic, Judy brought some entertainment to fans by joining forces with a group of former child stars for Zoom-based sitcom, The Quarantine Bunch. Based around a 'support group for former child stars' each episode would see former child stars, including Growing Pains' Jeremy Miller, Danny Pintauro from Who's The Boss and Due South's Dean McDermott, log in to the 'meeting' in order to navigate life together. While she hasn't been seen on screen since 2022 short movie Space Limbo, she's now lining up a new project – writing and starring in drama Shoot Like A Girl, which is currently in pre-production. 5 Judy has now penned her own story, Shoot Like A Girl Credit:

Romeo Beckham's ex Kim Turnbull breaks silence on Brooklyn feud and 'scapegoat lies'
Kim Turnbull has released a statement on social media after she was dragged into the ongoing Beckham family feud and she was said to have dated Brooklyn before he met Nicola Romeo Beckham's former flame Kim Turnbull has finally broken silence on her alleged romance with Brooklyn amid the ongoing family rift. Kim is reportedly at the centre of the feud that has seen Brooklyn and wife Nicola Peltz become distant from the rest of the clan. The 26-year-old model and DJ is rumoured to have been involved with Brooklyn prior to meeting billionaire heiress Nicola, 30, as they used to be pals. After enduring weeks of speculation concerning her past with Brooklyn, Kim declared she was "embarrassed by the lies" and felt compelled to break her silence. As Romeo's alleged partner, Kim was a fixture in the Beckham's close-knit circle, reports the Mirror, even attending David's 50th birthday bash which Brooklyn and Nicola notably skipped. This month however marked the end of Romeo and Kim's contentious relationship. In a bold move, Kim addressed the family turmoil that has overshadowed the news of David's knighthood this weekend, as his eldest son remains aloof from the celebration. Kim took to Instagram to voice her frustration: "I've avoided speaking on this topic to prevent adding fuel to the fire, however it's come to a point where I feel the need to address it so I can move on." She added firmly: "I will not continue to receive harassment or be embarrassed on the basis of lies, to fit a certain narrative." Addressing speculation about a romantic link with Brooklyn, Kim stated: "I have never been romantically involved in ANY capacity at ANY point with the person in question. Nothing between us has occurred further than a school friendship at age 16. "I would like to remove myself from the ongoing conversation and set the record straight for the sake of everyone involved." Kim was recently thrust into the limelight amid rumours surrounding the Beckham family, with rumours suggesting Brooklyn had swirling doubts over her intentions towards his brother Romeo. Rumours had circulated that Brooklyn and Kim shared a teenage romance, yet Cruz Beckham refuted these claims in a recently removed Instagram post, followed now by Kim's own denial. The gossip mill began after Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were notably absent from David's 50th birthday celebrations last month, leading to conversations that Brooklyn believed his parents favoured Romeo, drawing Kim into the controversy. Reportedly after seven months, Kim's liaison with Romeo waned three weeks subsequent to David reaching his milestone birthday. Kim's decisive words come following Brooklyn's pointed omission of his father on Father's Day. The newly knighted David honoured his offspring, Romeo, Cruz and Harper with an affectionate social media post, which seemed to allude to strained relations with Brooklyn. Captioning the photo, he remarked: "My most important and favourite job in life is being a dad... I'm so proud of all of you and like daddy ( sorry boys ) tells you every single day I will always be here for you no matter what.. "Mummy thank you for doing the most important part and making me a father there is no greater gift in life than making me a dad... Happy Father's Day... I love you kiddies more than you could imagine." He also posted a picture with Brooklyn, enjoying a glass of red wine, captioned: "I love you @brooklynpeltzbeckham." However, Brooklyn did not acknowledge his father on this special day, maintaining his silence. Nicola also omitted any mention of her father-in-law but did honour her own dad. On Instagram, alongside a photo with her father, she penned: "Happy Father's Day to the greatest dad in the world. I am so lucky to be your daughter I love you more than you will ever know. Thank you for always being my constant support. I love you beyond words. Happy Father's Day dad."
