EXCLUSIVE Patsy Palmer party hops from DJ Fat Tony's wedding to the British Soap Awards and reveals what she REALLY thinks of Celebrity Big Brother
It was a busy night for Patsy Palmer on Saturday as she party hopped from DJ Fat Tony's wedding to the 2025 British Soap Awards - where she discussed Big Brother. Attending both events, the actress, 53, turned heads in a cobalt blue trouser suit, which contrasted perfectly with her fiery red locks. Her three-piece was made up of a crop top and flared bottoms, with a matching blazer layered over the top. Speaking to MailOnline on the red carpet at London's Hackney Empire, Patsy revealed what she really thought about her time on Celebrity Big Brother. After the soapstar was evicted she took part in several very awkward interviews and refused to speak during her live exit. 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. She explained: 'I've not really seen it [Big Brother]. I went from the lock-up [in EastEnders] to the BB house to get back into the real world. 'It was an experience, it was interesting. I'm really glad that I did it. That's all I wanted really. 'It was definitely a very interesting experience. I've not seen anyone since leaving but I'm looking forward to seeing my housemates tonight.' Since being evicted, Patsy has shared several cryptic posts to her social media about 'staying silent' and returned to her home in Malibu. However, touching back down on UK soil this week, she attended both the 2025 British Soap Awards and DJ Fat Tony's wedding. Before the award ceremony, Patsy joined an array of A-list guests as DJ Fat Tony and his partner Stavros Agapiou tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in London. Tony, 58, and Stavros, 32, who have been engaged since October 2023, made it official at the Welsh Chapel in Charing Cross, before heading to the swanky Londoner Hotel for the reception. An A-list array of guests joined the couple to celebrate on their special day including Coronation Street's Claire Sweeney, TOWIE's Gemma Collins and Davina McCall, with the likes of the Beckhams and Kate Moss also slated to attend. With Tony being hugely popular on the celebrity circuit, it's little surprise that the nuptials hosted an eclectic star-studded guestlist and an A-list performance from none other than Kylie Minogue for the evening celebrations. Ahead of the wedding a source told The Sun: 'Tony is one of the most popular people on the London celebrity circuit and his wedding is going to be packed full of stars. 'No one had Kate, Gemma and Claire in a bridal party on their bingo cards this year, though. It's going to be incredible to see them lining up together.'

Britain's Got Talent fans hit out at judge during live final as they rage ‘what is he doing?'
BRITAIN'S Got Talent's finale is upon us and the finalists are putting their best foot forward to win over the final vote. However, one of the BGT judges has proven to be annoying those watching at home for this one habit they can't get over. 5 5 As tonight show kicked off, Simon Cowell, Alesha Dixon, Amanda Holden and Bruno Tonioli took to the judges panel one last time. While they can't impact tonight's winner, they are still on hand to give their thoughts on the evening performances. With Wildcard singing duo Han and Fran kicking off the evening with an ABBA Medley, one judge seemed to be swept away with their act. Bruno, who previously judged Strictly Come Dancing, got up from out of his seat to give his deliberations. The judge is known for his flamboyant hand movements when describing acts, but viewers became annoyed when they noted that he couldn't seem to remain in his seat. After Ping Pong Pang - a paddle-focused dance act - completed their routine, Bruno gave his deliberations to the dance crew and the audience by standing up and recreating some of the moves, telling them he "loved them" by making heart symbols. He later remained stood up after the judges gave singing choir Hear Our Voice – made up of those affected by the Post Office scandal. "Someone glue Bruno to his seat FFGS," noted one viewer. "WTF is Bruno doing ? Sit the f'ing hell down." "Why can't Bruno sit down?," said a third, while a fourth commented: "Bruno is annoying why does he keep wanting all the attention when he's giving his comments? The standing up #BGT" "they give Bruno a chair and a microphone. what does he do? stands up and shouts," complained another. Britain's Got Talent brand ITV show a 'fix' as Bruno Tonioli's co-star blows judges away with audition On tonight's show, 10 finalists plus the bonus wildcard act are performing for the final time in order to be crowned champion. The final 10 acts are: Hear Our Voice, The Blackouts, Harry Moulding, Stacey Leadbeatter, Olly Pearson, Ping Pong Pang, Binita Chetry, Joseph Charm, Vinnie McKee and Jasmine Rice. The winner takes home £250,000 and a spot on the line-up of this year's Royal Variety Performance. They follow in the footsteps of Sydney Christmas, who won last year's show. Britain's Got Talent Judges The ITV talent show wouldn't be the same without the four charismatic judges who put the contestants through their paces. Simon Cowell is the staple of Britain's Got Talent and resumes his role as head judge. The mogul is one of the most iconic figures in music and is responsible for offsetting the careers of many performers around the world. Amanda Holden has been a judge on Britain's Got Talent since it first started in 2007. The sexy star is a firm fixture on the judging panel, which has helped her to become a household name. Alesha Dixon is back to judge the new series of Britain's Got Talent. The TV star joined the panel back in 2012 and quickly became a fan favourite. Bruno Tonioli makes up the fab four. After leaving Strictly, he decided to move over to ITV and is the newest BGT judge after replacing David Walliams. 5 5 5

Holiday goers rave over Tesco dupe of £1k Rimowa suitcases loved by celebs – they're under £30 and there's two colours
IF you're jetting off somewhere sunny this year and need a new suitcase, look no further than Tesco The supermarket currently has a dupe of the popular Rimowa brand in stores, and for a bargain price. 2 You've probably seen the Rimowa suitcases rolling alongside your favourite celebs and influencers without even realising. Stars like Zendaya, Cara Delevingne and Julianne Moore have been photographed with the stylish luggage before, but the Rimowa Classic Cabin will set you back a whopping £1,130 - and prices go up if you want a larger case too. Luckily, one savvy shopper spotted the dupe on the shelves of their local Tesco - and you'll save hundreds. Libbie Fitzpatrick took to TikTok to show off the find - and shoppers can even choose from gold or silver. In the viral video she said: "Get yourself down to Tesco because they've just brought out Rimowa-style suitcases and they are stunning!" The suitcases are priced at £65, but Clubcard shoppers can nab the luggage for just £27.50. Holiday goers took to the comment section of the clip to rave about the find, as one wrote: "They've been reduced a while now, over two weeks!" "I got the blue one a few weeks ago, they didn't have gold and silver then. Still prefer the blue. "Suitcases are so expensive these days so these are a good price on the deal," another wrote. But others weren't sure if plastic suitcases would be a good fit for airport chaos. My daughter is never going to school because our eight family holidays per year are more important - parents who only take trips during the official breaks are 'utter muppets' Meanwhile, others wanted to know if the suitcases were lightweight, "Please tell me it's light weight and won't take off my allowance," one said. And another agreed: "I don't like hard style cases, they weight a bit more so you can't carry as much." If you are on the hunt for a new suitcase that will stand the test of time, Captain Alexander York, who flies A380s for Emirates, shared his go-to bag that has yet to let him down. The 40-year-old has been using the exact same suitcase for over a decade and knows which cases are more likely to end up being duds. He told 9Travel: "I've been using a large hard case Samsonite for over 15 years and it's served me well." Hard-shell luggage is rigid and usually made of plastic or metal, while soft-shell cases are typically made of fabric and are more flexible. While he did not name a specific one, Samsonite said its hard-shell suitcases are typically made from "high-quality materials like polycarbonate or aluminium." Alexander recommended hard cases over soft ones, despite their higher weight, as he believes softer ones are at a greater risk of damage. He said: "I think bags with exposed wheels, or soft pouches are bound to be damaged, so I'd stick with the hard case." Holiday packing tips Jemma Solomon, aka The Label Lady has got 5 packing tips to help you get organised for your next holiday. 1. Write a list Think about all the essentials you need to take with you; suncream, medicine, a few games for the kids, beach towels, and write everything in one list, which you can tick off as you add it to your suitcase. Or for complete ease, try Google's AI app - Gemini - which will create a list for you and help you not over pack. 2. Involve your kids Jemma said: 'My girls are getting older, they're 11 and nine, and they enjoy helping to pack. So I send them a list, and say 'this is what you need' and they follow the list. 'And then I give them a rucksack each - and say to them 'you can have whatever you want in there as long as it's not liquid', and they can take that on the plane. And that's their 'home away from home' items.' 3. Try a hack or two She said: "I think they all work, but for different reasons - and you've just got to pick the right one for your trip. "Rolling your clothes is really good to stop your clothes from getting creases. And if you're trying to get a lot of items into your case, it's a space saver. 'Packing cubes are great - for example, I'm going on holiday with my three kids and we're all using the same suitcase for our clothes. "These handy compartments let you separate your clothes, toiletries and tech into designated cubes, maximising luggage space by keeping your items compressed and neatly stacked. "I love taking them abroad with the family and it means my kids can easily take charge of their own items once we've arrived." 4. Decant beauty products Do you really need to take full-size bottles of shampoo and conditioner with you? The beauty industry has evolved so much, you can now buy shampoo bars or sheets - which are much lighter and smaller. Or, if you'll be popping to the shops when you're abroad, consider buying some items when you arrive. 5. Get organised before you come home Jemma said: 'When you repack on holiday [before coming home], the trick is to separate clean from dirty clothes. 'Also pack it in some form of order - so lights, darks, colours for items that need washing, or if you wash your clothes by person in the household, piles for each person. "Then you can put it straight into the washing machine. Do it straight away, don't leave it."
