'The boxing is vibing,' Yungblud told me at the launch of his new album Idols, at Chateau Denmark in London.
'Chris thinks I can get into professional boxing and I was like, 'f***ing hell'.
'We should bring back celebrity boxing. I have got a year's preparation on it.
'Who do I want to fight? Boris Johnson.
"When Robbie Williams wanted to fight Liam Gallagher that was a good thing from the Nineties. It was legendary.'
Of his new muscles, the Hello Heaven, Hello singer added: 'I like the new physique. I will take Iggy Pop any day or David Bowie during the Thin White Duke era.
'They were big inspirations to my body and I am just trying to be like them. I am ready to work and kick ass.
'I stopped drinking beer and I only drink once or twice a week.
'At the start of the album I was drinking a little bit too much. But I am in the gym at 10am.'
I need to take a leaf out of his book.

Whoever did the logistics needs a medal.

Forgotten Married At First Sight groom reemerges for the first time in years after his TV bride Belinda Vickers announced real-life engagement
Former Married At First Sight groom Patrick Dwyer has resurfaced with a striking new look after retreating from the spotlight for years. The reality star, who appeared on season eight of the hit Channel Nine dating show in 2021, was spotted on Instagram this week looking barely recognisable as he enjoyed a summer holiday in the UK. Taking to his Stories on Thursday, the personal trainer shared a sunburnt selfie alongside the caption: 'Of course I would get burnt in the UK.' Fans were quick to notice that Patrick, who once sported a geeky hairstyle and shy demeanour on the show, looks worlds away from his MAFS persona. He now has more rugged style, sporting a short quiff and well-groomed facial hair. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. His surprise return to social media comes after his TV bride Belinda Vickers made headlines by announcing her real-life engagement to wealthy businessman Hayden Burbank. Patrick and Belinda were a quirky fan favourite during their time on MAFS. Viewers still remember one of the more memorable scenes from Intimacy Week where Patrick prepared a bubble bath to help build a physical connection with his shy bride. What started as a romantic gesture quickly turned awkward when Patrick began massaging Belinda's feet in the tub. 'Maybe I'll give you a little foot massage,' he said as he rubbed her toes, before complimenting her pedicure: 'Oh, I love your feet. Very clean, I like the little pink toenails you've got on you.' Following his stint on the show, Patrick quietly faded from the public eye, switching his social media accounts to private and steering clear of reality TV circles. But he didn't disappear without making a few changes – including a dramatic $28,000 dental makeover courtesy of celebrity dentist Dr Deepan Duraisamy, better known as Dr Dee. Patrick received 12 of the dentist's famous Picasso Porcelain Veneers and told Daily Mail Australia at the time, 'I didn't realise how bad my teeth were until I saw them on TV.' Meanwhile, Belinda told Daily Mail Australia that she will be walking down the aisle for real next year with wealthy businessman Hayden Burbank He opted for a natural-looking set of teeth to suit his new image, and before-and-after photos showed just how much the transformation boosted his confidence. Meanwhile, Belinda told Daily Mail Australia that she will be walking down the aisle for real next year. The couple celebrated their engagement at a lavish party in Melbourne back in April. They both shared a series of photos to social media as they danced and posed with friends and family at the private party. Guests were treated to an array of cocktails while violinists played music at the lavish home. The pair announced their engagement back in February last year, telling Daily Mail Australia that Hayden's unique Valentine's Day proposal included a treasure hunt at the Botanical Gardens. Hayden, who is the former owner of swanky Melbourne hotspot Morris Jones, added his proposal caught the attention of the public, who burst into applause after Belinda said yes and accepted his dazzling engagement ring.

I had my fourth child at 43 & now I'm 51 – people think I had my child too old & I disagree but there IS a cut off point
A MUM who welcomed her fourth child at the age of 43 has reignited the debate on how old is too old to have children. Natalie Heptinstall, 51, from Doncaster, has previously faced criticism for being an older mum, with trolls branding her 'incredibly selfish' and even claiming her child would grow up to be a 'monster'. Despite the negativity, Natalie continues to advocate for the benefits of being an older parent, sharing her experiences with her followers on TikTok under the handle @ natalie_heptinstall. Natalie, whose eldest child is 26 and youngest is nearly seven, recently took to her TikTok page to open up about the double standards surrounding older parents. She questioned why men aren't scrutinised in the same way as women when it comes to having children later in life. Reflecting on her own journey, Natalie said: 'I had my last child at 43, and it was a really positive experience. "I'm a huge advocate for speaking positively about the benefits of being an older parent, but I definitely feel there's a cut-off point.' Recently, Natalie shared her thoughts on Amanda Byram, the former Total Wipeout host, who gave birth to her first child at the age of 51. Natalie explained that there's "definitely a cut-off point" when it comes to people saying 'Oh, congratulations, good luck,' and others being "horrified and judgemental" for having a baby at specific age. She also highlighted the disparity in how society views older fathers versus older mothers. Natalie explained that "nobody bats an eyelid" if a man is 50 plus and having a child, and male celebrities who father children in their later year are "rarely questioned." She added: 'Meanwhile, with Amanda, the entire article focused on her age, and her husband's age wasn't even mentioned.' I have a 3-year-old & I don't think kids are worth it - trolls call me a 'bad mum' but I want to warn other women Natalie expressed frustration at the lack of progress in attitudes towards older mothers, asking her followers, 'How old is too old to have a child? What are your thoughts?' In the caption section, Natalie she also explained that she is a "huge advocate" for speaking positively about the benefits of being an older parent, but she " definitely feels there's a cut-off point." Natalie's TikTok video went viral within 24 hours gaining one million views and 3,483 comments. It sparked a range of responses, with many rushing to share their thoughts and start a debate. One wrote: "It's not fair on the child having an old parent." While a second added: "I personally don't think it's fair on a child." 2 But someone else said: "My mum had me at 32. "I remember how embarrassed I used be that my mum was much older than the other mums. "She must only been 40 at the time but to me it was old." However, another added: "I find some comments awful, you could have a child at 25 and die at 28, or have one at 49 and live until your 90... life isn't guaranteed." And one TikToker said: "A friend of mine passed away age 29, leaving a child behind. You can die at any time. "It is usual for a woman in the UK to die in her eighties now, so a 51-year-old baby should be an adult when they pass." Here's why I love being a young mum Tracy Kiss, who fell pregnant at 19, has revealed what she believes are the pros of being a young mother. The personal trainer and blogger, from Buckinghamshire, believes women who give birth in their teens make BETTER mothers than those in their 30s. She claims young mums snap back into shape quicker, have more energy and relate more easily to their children, meaning they're better behaved and happier. Tracy told Fabulous: "Women who become first-time mums in their teens make better parents than those in their 30s or 40s. "I believe if I'd been 10 or so years older before becoming a mother then I wouldn't have the relationship I have with my children now. "For a start, being older I would have had less energy and therefore less patience. "I wouldn't be as enthusiastic to speak to people after months of sleepless nights as I was in my teens. "My body snapped back to its pre-pregnancy size through fitness post-birth, which in turn gave me the confidence to date and find love again. I've never been happier than I am now at the age of 30 with two children. "If I'd have been alone at 40 with a newborn baby I'd be more tired, less happy with my body, less energetic and far more stressed from the shock of living my life for myself instead of putting others first. Sometimes age and the innocence of ignorance is a good thing. "As a teen mum I just got on with it, found my feet and became responsible and capable because at the time I didn't know any different."

Scarlett Moffatt reveals her beauty ‘tip of the year' – it only cost a pound and is a game changer to her makeup routine
KEEPING your makeup organised can sometimes be a bit of a struggle, especially when it comes to lip liners, eyeliners, and other small items. Scarlett Moffatt has shared a simple and affordable hack that she's been using for years, and it's perfect for anyone looking to tidy up their beauty stash. 3 3 In a recent video shared on her TikTok page, the Gogglebox star explained: 'So I thought everyone knew this tip. "If you have a lot of lip liners, eyeliners, or whatever – this is not an ad, I just think it's a really handy tip. "I've done this since uni, so gosh, 15 years ago, no longer than that… oh, I'm so old!' Her trick? Using a pencil holder to keep everything organised. Scarlett continued: 'It was getting to the point where I was like, right, I'm not being funny, but which lip liner is which? "So I have all my reds on one side and all my nudes on the other.' She encouraged her followers to give it a go, saying: 'Let us know if you decide to do it or if you know any good makeup storage tips. "Let's not gatekeep – this is a place of love, so let's share the love!' Scarlett's easy hack is a great way to keep your makeup tidy without spending a fortune – and it's ideal for finding what you need without any hassle. Scarlett's video gained 80.9k views and 94 comments after 24 hours of the video being shared. Muireann O'Connell wears daring lipstick on air One beauty fan wrote: "I don't have a lot of lip liners now but I will have once I've bought that pencil case to put them in." A second added: "I don't usually have a lot but have been trying to be more adventurous with my liners and need to organise them now so great tip idea thank you." While a third commented: "This just saved me so much time, effort and puzzle piecing! "I'm clearing out my makeup drawer as we speak! Thank you." 3 Top 3 beauty products every woman should be using Hayley Walker, Beauty Expert at Justmylook shared the holy-grail products every woman needs to be using. A cleanser, SPF, and hair oil are must-haves within beauty routines. A cleanser is crucial for healthy skin as it removes dirt, oil, and other impurities for flawless skin. This skincare step not only cleanses the face and removes dirt, but also prevents breakouts and premature skin ageing, helping you maintain a healthy, youthful, and blemish-free complexion. The Aveeno Face Calm+ Restore Nourishing Oat Cleanser is a go-to of mine due to its gentle formula that soothes and restores the skin's appearance and texture. SPF is non-negotiable and should be in everyone's daily skincare routine. Even on cooler, cloudier days, our skin is exposed to the sun's UV rays which can be harmful to unprotected skin and even lead to damage. These damages include sunburn, pigmentation changes, and wrinkles which can impact the skin's texture and appearance. In some cases, prolonged exposure to UV rays can cause skin cancer. Applying SPF daily prevents these damages and protects the skin from harmful rays. I recommend the Beauty Of Joseon Rice & Prebiotic Sunscreen PA++++ SPF50+ for its lightweight, non-clumping texture that absorbs quickly for a natural finish and maximum protection. Hair oil has many benefits and should be regularly used. This treatment can strengthen and protect the hair from external stressors while improving its appearance and shine. Regularly applying hair oil can also reduce breakage and even encourage hair growth for longer, fuller locks. Hair oils also target the scalp, reducing dandruff and improving its health through exfoliation. I recommend using this deeply nourishing treatment a couple of times a week or more depending on the hair's moisture levels. The Hair Syrup Rapunzel Pre-Wash Oil Treatment is a nutrient-rich treatment that revitalises strands to promote a happy scalp and healthy-looking locks. Apply the syrup throughout damp hair before washing; massage from root to tip and allow the formula to penetrate strands before rinsing and styling.
