Fans express concern after Keith Urban skips family getaway with wife Nicole Kidman - as the real reason why they've been apart for weeks is revealed
Fans have expressed concern after Keith Urban skipped a family holiday with his wife Nicole Kidman and their children. The 57-year-old singer failed to appear in sweet holiday snaps posted by Nicole, 58, to Instagram on Wednesday. Many fans have flocked to Instagram to question Keith's whereabouts after noticing he was missing from the images. 'Where's Keith? Guess the rumors are true,' one asked while another questioned: 'Where is he?' But Keith has been unable to holiday with his family as he is currently on tour. The country singer is currently performing shows around Australia and is set to take the stage in Wollongong on Wednesday night before heading to Sydney. In the photos, Nicole gave fans a rare look at her natural locks as she posed with her daughters and sister Antonia Kidman. The actress, 58, revealed her curly auburn locks in one picture as she embraced her daughter Sunday Rose. She was all smiles as she showed off her natural beauty in a second image while posing with her sister Antonia. She also flaunted her slim figure in a patterned blue crop top and a matching coloured skirt. It was a far cry from the dramatically straightened look Nicole unveiled at the Cannes Film Festival Presidential Dinner in May. The Moulin Rouge! star wore the weave to add volume to her strawberry blonde locks and help give her a more youthful look. However, the mesh wig cap was visible as Nicole posed for photos on the red carpet despite her real hair being weaved into it. She also unveiled another radical makeover at the Met Gala as she stepped out with a cropped, slicked-back cut and wavy fringe. Nicole's habit of wearing wigs in Hollywood movies and on the red carpet has earned her a cult following over the years. The Hollywood star has rarely showcased her natural hair in films and on the red carpet since the early days of her career, and almost always wears wigs for her roles. Over the past few months, Nicole has stepped out in a series of dramatic wigged looks – ranging from sleek, straight styles to blunt cuts, and one that became a viral misfire. Appearing on Sunrise in May, Nicole admitted that she 'loves changing her hair' and uses hairpieces to achieve new looks.

Married at First Sight star Marilyse Corrigan left reeling as she is 'dumped by text'
Marilyse Corriganan, who found fame on E4's reality show Married At First Sight is said to have been left 'heartbroken' after her partner of one year split up with her via text message Married at First Sight star Marilyse Corrigan has been left single again after her partner of one year 'dumped her over text'. The personal trainer, who found fame when she met and married Franky Spencer, 50, on the set of the E4 series, and, while they quickly realised it wasn't meant to be, she found love again with someone else. Marilyse, 40, met her mystery man, who is not in the public eye, a year ago and things seemed to be going well between the pair but now an insider has claimed that the whole thing has come to a very abrupt end. A source told The Sun: "Marilyse is really upset and can't believe she's ended up single again. She was dumped over text after falling head over heels. It was a whirlwind romance and in hindsight she feels she was love bombed." Lovebombing, which originated as a term in the 1970s but has gained particular momentum since the advent of social media, is used to describe the action of showering someone with affection to an excessive degree shortly after meeting as a way to secure them into some kind of romantic relationship. The reality star is yet to break her silence on the matter publicly, and has instead chosen to keep her 131,000 Instagram followers up to date with health and fitness tips instead. After both she and Franky agreed to go their separate ways following their time on the television experiment in 2021, Marilyse struck up a relationship with fellow MAFS star Matt Murray, 34, but even that fizzled out after six months, and she claimed at the time that the whole thing had felt "too intense" for her liking. At the time, she told new! magazine: "Matt likes to have all of your attention when you're in a relationship with him. He was needy and couldn't understand why I couldn't be his all the time. "I wouldn't call them red flags, but there were times when he'd question me about silly things - things that were unnecessary - and then question me about them again." In response to Marilyse's claims, Matt told the Mirror: "I just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge the comments made about me by Marilyse regarding our relationship. "Whilst I acknowledge Marilyse's feelings, I do not agree with her comments. Relationships can be complex and there are always two sides to every story. "I am very private so I don't wish to share my side of the story publicly. I would like to draw a line under this now." He added: "While I understand that Marilyse has shared her perspective on our time together, I want to make it clear that I hold no ill feelings towards her and I wish her nothing but the best. "I am committed to growth. Moving forward, I am focusing on the positive and surrounding myself with supportive people who encourage me to be my best self." "So I started feeling on edge around him." Matt had moved on with Marilyse after his spontaneous marriage to Hughes didn't work out, even though they appeared to have hit it off to begin with. Things turned sour and she decided to call it a day and dumped the tattooed barber with sources claiming he had been causing upset while "gaslighting" his social media followers. Speaking exclusively to the Mirror, a source close to Marilyse said: " We're all so relieved that Marilyse saw sense and ended things with Matt. He treated her appallingly, she was totally blinded by him, he love-bombed her and she always sees the good in people which left her vulnerable to him." Marilyse is not surprised by Matt's recent behaviour on Instagram. She expects nothing less from him. "Marilyse tried to see the good in him because she knows oh too well how the show edits can portray cast members inaccurately, but unfortunately, as time went on it became clear he didn't appreciate her."

Christopher Biggins, 76, says he feels 'depressed and infuriated' after being banned from driving by the DVLA... despite passing his eye test
He may be known for his cheery personality, but pantomime star Christopher Biggins has been driven to distraction by the DVLA – after it banned him from the road. The 76-year-old I'm A Celebrity winner said he was 'depressed' and 'absolutely infuriated' after it refused to renew his licence following an eye test. After his licence expired this year, the DVLA contacted him to say he needed an eye test to renew it. So Biggins had his eyes checked at an opticians in Stratford, east London. He added: 'Ten days later, I got a letter from the DVLA saying I had failed my test and I wouldn't be getting my licence back.' However, he said a doctor at Homerton Hospital in east London then gave him a clean bill of health after an eye examination, and he passed an eye test at a separate opticians. Both gave him letters to send to the DVLA, but it stuck to its guns, saying: 'Unfortunately, the information you have supplied does not show that you are able to meet the required medical standards for driving.' The actor insisted his vision had 'not changed', adding: 'How can they disregard a hospital doctor and another optician? It has left me very depressed. 'I travel a lot and I need to drive. Not long distance, for that I take the train. 'It is costing me a fortune in taxis. It is very unfair. I'm absolutely infuriated with their 'computer says no' attitude.' Biggins called Labour's plan for drivers over 70 to have eye tests every three years 'disgraceful', adding: 'Thousands could end up losing their licence unfairly.' When contacted by Daily Mail, ADVLA spokesperson said: 'While we cannot comment on individual cases, all drivers must meet minimum eyesight standards to drive a vehicle. 'Whether a driver meets the eyesight standards can be tested through various means, including visual field and acuity, depending on the circumstances. 'These standards apply to all drivers and, if someone does not meet the required standards they cannot be allowed on the road.' The I'm A Celebrity winner, 76, said he was 'depressed' and 'absolutely infuriated' after it refused to renew his licence following an eye test It comes after Christopher became the latest star to reveal he'd turned to jabs such as Mounjaro and Ozempic in a bid to lose weight after undergoing knee surgery. The actor praised the effectiveness of the medication and claimed it could have other benefits, but acknowledged that there was still a lot that was unknown about possible side effects. He told GB News: 'I'm on Mounjaro… and I think it's good. I mean, I had a new knee put in, and I needed to lose weight because of the pressure on the knee.' Christopher added that 'they're now finding out that this drug can cure a lot of other things', but noted that 'we don't know the side effects' of it yet.
