Channel 4 star rushed to hospital after medical emergency on holiday
The Honesty Box star Rose Skehan has revealed that she was admitted to a medical clinic while travelling in Thailand after filming the show, with the star fainting at a restaurant
The Honesty Box runners up Rose Skehan and Tommy Biswell went off on their travels to Thailand after filming the E4 show - and have revealed that one particular day proved to be dramatic when Tommy was forced to carry Rose to a nearby clinic. The couple, who met on the dating show hosted by Vicky Pattison, have stayed together since the show's finale and moved in together as they travel from place to place in the UK.
However, Rose revealed in a chat with The Mirror that she suddenly became ill one night during their trip to Thailand. "There was one time where I got really sick when we went to Thailand and I fainted at dinner," she says.
"Tommy was carrying me like a baby through the streets of Thailand to this clinic and I was on an IV drip. We had the most random time ever."
Tommy adds, "One minute she was singing having a fab time, next she was in a clinic on a drip. It was really quite mad that but Thailand was amazing time. We saw elephants, we rode horses, we saw monks."
Rose continues, "We were walking up waterfalls, we really like broaden our horizons as well."
The trip also made the couple even closer after Rose suffered a devastating loss back at home. "It brought us so much closer together because while were out there as well, my horse of 11 years, he passed away and Tommy really stepped up in caring for me and supporting me so we've got such a strong base coming back to England."
Since leaving the show, Rose and Tommy have moved in together - revealing that they have been travelling the UK as a couple ever since. "We're actually all over, so we jump round from cabin to cabin," Tommy says. "We're exploring the whole country. We're finding nice little places that we've not been to in the UK."
Rose adds, "It's great because we both love historic houses and animals - we're in our element going all over the countryside."
The couple narrowly missed out on the show's winnings as it was Chantelle and Jovan who emerged as champions of The Honesty Box. The winning pair recently revealed to the Mirror that they're ready for marriage.

Freddy Brazier announces he's going to rehab to 'get clean' after sad fallout with dad
Freddy Brazier, 20, has revealed he's going to rehab in Spain to get clean after battling a smoking addiction since age 12 Freddy Brazier has announced he is heading to rehab in Spain as he battles a long-standing addiction. The 20-year-old, youngest son of Jeff Brazier and the late Jade Goody, revealed he has been addicted to smoking since the age of 12 and is now taking steps to 'get clean.' The move follows reports of a strained relationship with his father Jeff, leading Freddy to leave the family home and move in with his maternal grandmother, Jackiey Budden, Mirror reports. On Instagram, Freddy opened up about his decision to seek treatment, saying: "I've decided that I will be cutting down and I want to go to Rehab In Marbs as I feel if I'm in England I won't take getting clean seriously." He described smoking as a "bad coping mechanism that turned into an addiction, something I relied on and something that made me feel sane and some what OK." Yet now, Freddy is determined to turn his life around. "I've found a boxing club and a rehabilitation centre. Ive found someone I want to get to know and I'm happy. I got a good bunch of friends and I [want to] get out and enjoy myself." His goal is clear. "I want to be clean so I can live happily and have healthy relationships with people and be there for all of my family rather then feeling like I'm in the middle and have to choose a side." Freddy also reflected on his struggle to feel loved, admitting, "I haven't been able to feel loved properly as I have never loved myself and it starts now." He hopes to embrace a new chapter, sharing: "I want to play football and take up boxing I want to be happy and be in a healthy relationship and have a healthy relationship with my Nana and my father." The young man ended his heartfelt message with a plea for privacy and understanding: "Every day is a new story about me and my Nana and father. It's getting boring now. Mind your business and have a good rest of the week x." Concerns about Freddy's wellbeing have grown this week after news emerged that he had moved out of his father's home to live with Jackiey Budden. Freddy and Jeff had previously been seen sharing a close bond, notably on the BBC series Race Across the World last year. However, their relationship now appears fractured, with Freddy growing closer to his late mother Jade's mother. Reports say Jeff is devastated by the situation and is considering legal action to prevent Freddy and his grandmother from spending time together. Defying his father's wishes, Freddy has continued to share photos with his grandmother on social media. One recent post alarmed fans as he listed the things he hates about himself, including his 'relationship with weed,' 'step parents,' and his inability to love properly. He also mentioned having 'family issues.' Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community! Get the latest news sent straight to your messages by joining our WhatsApp community today.

The TikTok video was shared just a day before what would have been Jade Goody's 44th birthday. The late Big Brother star died aged 27 in 2009 after a battle with cervical cancer. Supporters flooded Freddy's post with messages of encouragement. One TikTok user wrote, "Ah man this is gonna be sad to watch," while another said, "Go home son, this is not what mum wanted for you sweetheart." A third added, "Sending you love Fred! Watched you in Race Across the World & you're such a decent lad with so much potential." The tension within the family extends beyond his father. Freddy was absent from his older brother Bobby's 22nd birthday party on Monday, an event reportedly marked by a "sadness" due to his absence. Bobby was said to have spent time with Jeff and his stepmother Kate instead. Freddy was just four when Jade passed away. Since then, Jeff has dedicated himself to raising Freddy and Bobby, striving to provide stability after such a traumatic loss.

Love Island star's secret link to former Islander and mum's unlikely job
EXCLUSIVE: Love Island 2025 star Blu Chegini has raised eyebrows with his incredibly honest and open attitude towards sex - and it turns out it's all thanks to his mum's very unusual job Incoming Love Island star Blu Chegini is already turning heads ahead of the show's explosive return on Monday, June 9 for its 12th series, but it's not just his piercing eyes or his shredded physique that have people talking. The 20-year-old, who hails from London and is a construction project manager, is packing a past that's guaranteed to raise eyebrows – from his secret connection to former Islander who appeared on the All Stars series earlier this year, to his rather unexpected upbringing inside his mum's sex shop in Spain. In an exclusive chat with The Mirror, Blu revealed that although he hasn't yet met Kaz, who famously appeared in Love Island 2018, their paths have more than just crossed in spirit - they both train at the same Muay Thai gym on the Costa Blanca. 'I haven't met her, but she trains at Real Paddy Club in Spain – the same gym I go to,' Blu explained. 'She trains with someone I know.' Blu, who's been boxing since he was a teen, credits Muay Thai for keeping him focused and humble. It's part of what he hopes to bring to the villa – discipline, confidence and a whole lot of charisma. But if you thought training with a former Islander was wild, wait until you hear about his home life. Blu's mum runs a sex shop in Spain – and not just any backstreet boutique. It's a fully-fledged, advice-giving, no-judgement haven for couples and curious minds alike. Asked if he ever got a family discount, Blu laughs: 'Yeah, pretty much. Anything you want!' While some might be mortified, Blu speaks candidly about what it was like growing up surrounded by adult toys and open conversations about sex. 'It was cool,' he says. 'Back then it was more taboo, but people eventually realised it's actually pretty awesome. A lot of my friends go to my mum for advice - it's a very open relationship.' His grounded, no-shame attitude towards sexuality could serve him well in the villa – especially now that ITV has confirmed it won't censor sex scenes in the 2025 series. For the first time since the show toned things down in recent years, producers say islanders who hook up will be shown doing so, sparking a major conversation online. So what does Blu – whose own mum gives out sex advice – make of it all? 'She hasn't asked me, but it wouldn't surprise her if it happened,' he admits. 'I'm not going in expecting it – whatever happens, happens.' ITV insiders say the move reflects a more 'authentic' approach to dating on screen, but for Blu, it's just another part of being open and honest about intimacy. That openness, he says, was modelled early on by his mum – and he's not shy about it. 'Oh yeah, full tour,' he chuckles, when we ask if he's ever taken a date to the family business. 'The shop gives everyone a whole experience – education and the shop assistants make you feel comfortable.' Blu's already won fans over with his straight-talking, down-to-earth charm. Describing himself as 'energetic and bubbly,' he's going into the villa hoping to be 'someone who can be there for others when they're having a tough time' – and says he's not the type to play games. Keeping coy about his type, and not specifying looks when speaking about his type, he is mostly into 'Someone who is family oriented, has a lot of love to give and a lot of love to receive. Personality goes a long way." With a connection to past royalty, a refreshingly honest view on modern love, and an upbringing like no other, Blu is about to make waves in Love Island 2025 – and we'll be watching every second. Love Island 2025 begins Monday 9 June at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX.

Corrie star's true feelings on Swarla twist as she shares wedding theory
Coronation Street's Betsy Swain actress Sydney Martin has shared both her and her character's thoughts on that Lisa and Carla proposal, and if a wedding could air on the ITV soap One Coronation Street star has shared a new theory about something that could happen if Lisa Swain and Carla Connor did end up getting married. Amid hopes from Swarla fans for a wedding for the pair after a recent proposal, actress Sydney Martin, who plays Lisa's daughter Betsy Swain on the ITV soap, has had her say. She shared her character's true thoughts on the romance and how she would react to the proposal, and a possible wedding. She also shared her own thoughts on Swarla, acknowledging the fictional couple's international reach while sharing what she thinks could happen where the wedding is concerned, with her thoughts on both the likely bridesmaids and whether they will make it to Ibiza. With Lisa and Carla sharing their hopes for a future ceremony, and Carla saying now was not the right time, the pair are not currently engaged. But fans are sure it will happen soon, amid the characters plotting an Ibiza wedding. Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, actress Sydney shared her thoughts on the twist and what's ahead. She spilled on how Betsy would react to them being engaged if it happened: "I think secretly she would love it. Sydney would absolutely love it, but Betsy I think internally she would too. "She knows the dynamic really works and she does truly see Carla as a stepmother and as family. But I think she would still be Betsy wouldn't she, and she would probably be embarrassed by them both." Cait Fitton, who plays Lauren Bolton on the show, joined in with the Swarla chat and confessed she was hoping her character would bag an invite to the big day. She told her co-star: "I need to be there!" It's then that Sydney shared a possible prediction about the big scenes, if not a hope, as she told Cait that Lauren could well be a bridesmaid for the pair. She told Cait: "Don't worry, you will be there with Betsy in the bridesmaid dresses. Hopefully one day." We also got their thoughts on the possible wedding location being Ibiza, and it is safe to say both Cait and Sydney were down. Sydney said: "I wish we were going Ibiza! I mean you know what, if they're not going to take us to Ibiza... we'd so be there." Cait added: "I would love that." Sydney shared her support for the couple, as did Cait, while acknowledging the fan base for Swarla had gone international. It wasn't just Cait and Sydney that wanted the trip to Ibiza meanwhile, as when we spoke to Lisa actress Vicky Myers she was ready for the petition to get going. She joked: "I think it would be very good. Shall we see? We can put it out there."
