Warwick Davis' daughter Annabelle has posted a heartwarming photograph alongside her partner, who rarely appears publicly, as the family continues to rally around each other following tragedy.
The 28-year-old performer initially revealed her relationship in 2021 but tends to offer only fleeting insights into their private world together.
Annabelle and her beau Charlie attended a summer gathering, where they were captured sharing an intimate moment. The Dumping Ground actress looked stunning in a pink floral frock while gazing adoringly at Charlie.
Charlie, who works as a music producer and photographer, cut a dashing figure in his navy suit paired with a pink tie that complemented Annabelle's outfit perfectly, reports the Mirror.
This follows Warwick's revelation earlier this year that he had discovered love once more, twelve months after his wife's heartbreaking passing.
Annabelle and Charlie have formed a strong connection through their mutual passion for artistic pursuits and caravanning, continuing the Davis family's cherished holiday customs.
Her father Warwick's beloved wife Samantha, whom he tenderly nicknamed Sammy, passed away at 53 last spring following complications arising from spinal surgery.
While attending the BAFTAs in February, Warwick disclosed he had found romance again.
During his moving Fellowship award acceptance speech, he mysteriously acknowledged someone called 'Sponge', stating: "Special mention should go to Sponge, you know who you are.
"Thank you for showing me that life can still have meaning and for helping me to laugh and to love again."
Warwick was subsequently questioned about Sponge's identity during his appearance on the Jonathan Ross Show. He responded: "I can reveal, sticking with the Harry Potter theme, Sponge is indeed She-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named."
Nevertheless, Warwick did reference Daisy May Cooper's This Country character Kerry Mucklowe while discussing the enigmatic woman further.
The Harry Potter star continued: "Sponge very much reminds me of Kerry. Some of the things she says and her accent."
Warwick honoured Samantha during his BAFTAs acceptance speech, while his children Annabelle and Harrison watched from the front row.
He became emotional as he revealed: "When you go through your career as an actor, you sometimes become a bit reluctant to do certain jobs thinking another one will come along and be a bit better.
"She [Samantha] would always say 'get out there and do it'. She was great at networking as well, always talking to producers and getting me the work in the next job. Very supportive.
"You need that in this business because it is difficult. You've got to have someone who is very supportive of you being away on occasions and working ridiculous hours."

This year, an inquest determined that Samantha passed away in March 2024 due to cardiac arrest following complications from essential surgery.
Warwick's legal representatives have initiated an investigation into whether Samantha's death resulted from alleged medical negligence. Warwick and Samantha first crossed paths on the set of the 1988 fantasy film Willow, when he was a mere 17 and she just 16.
Warwick, already a rising star due to his role as Ewok Wicket in Star Wars: Return of the Jedi, met Samantha who had previously worked on the 1986 cult classic Labyrinth alongside her renowned father, Peter Burroughs. The couple tied the knot in the summer of 1991.

Halsey is SLAMMED for uncomfortably raunchy post in bed with fiance that fans say should be 'illegal'

Halsey was criticized for sharing an exhibitionist snap of her shirtless fiancé Avan Jogia embracing her bare legs while they were in bed Tuesday. The 30-year-old pop star - who boasts 70.7M social media followers - captioned her Instagram slideshow: 'There's babygirl everywhere for those with the eyes to see.' The 33-year-old former Nickelodeon star replied in the comments section: 'Air is unbreathable without you in it.' 'Babygirl' was likely a reference to the time the betrothed couple donned fetish wear to attend the December 11th premiere of Nicole Kidman 's erotic BDSM thriller of the same name in West Hollywood, CA. Halsey (born Ashley Frangipane) was slammed for the PDA post by Instagram users like @collectsunrays, who commented: 'First slide should be illegal.' 'I shouldn't have had to see that,' Instagram user @_old_accountttt blasted. 'At least give a warning.' Instagram user @ posted crying laughing and fire emojis and wrote: 'What's the first pic, Halsey?' 'Mind you I just opened this app,' Instagram user @crowded_mind commented. And Instagram user @enis_no scolded: 'Halsey that's not appropriate! There are kids on Instagram.' The three-time Grammy nominee and Avan - who originally met in Barcelona - announced they were engaged September 12 after a year-long whirlwind romance, and she 'just knew I wanted to marry him.' 'I never wanted to be married - never,' Halsey scoffed on the October 30th episode of Call Her Daddy. 'I can't even explain why [I want to marry Jogia] you know what I mean? Because I do I love him in such a way that I feel like we would be just as fine if we didn't, but something about that makes me want to do it more.' The groom and bride-to-be both happen to be biracial - Avan is half Indian and Halsey is half black. The Ego songstress also included a puzzle snap of her son Ender Ridley Aydin from her five-year relationship with babydaddy Alev Aydin, which ended in 2023. When little Ender turned four on July 14, Halsey gushed that he was 'the best thing I've ever been a part of.' 'Everyday I am left speechless and awe-struck by how kind, insightful, gentle, funny, creative, curious and cool he is,' the About-Face Beauty founder captioned her Instagram slideshow. 'I shouldn't have had to see that,' Instagram user @_old_accountttt blasted. 'At least give a warning' 'Mind you I just opened this app,' Instagram user @crowded_mind commented And Instagram user @enis_no scolded: 'Halsey that's not appropriate! There are kids on Instagram' 'His favorite painter is Van Gogh. He loves A Tribe Called Quest and The Cranberries. He collects tiny treasures and stores them in jars. He is the first person to notice if a friend gets hurt. He remembers names and favorite colors, and his is yellow because he is joy. He is absolute magic.' Halsey previously romanced Evan Peters, Yungblud, G-Eazy, Machine Gun Kelly, Lido, and Matty Healy. Meanwhile, the Autopsy of an Ex-Teen Heartthrob poet previously dated his Zombieland co-star Zoey Deutch between 2012-2017 and his Now Apocalypse co-star Cleopatra Coleman between 2017-2021. The New Jersey native will next portray Mandy Starr in Tony Tost's long-delayed crime thriller Americana, which hits US theaters August 15 and UK theaters August 22. That's technically two years after Americana's world premiere at South by Southwest and three years after production wrapped in New Mexico. Lionsgate's modern-day western - formerly known as National Anthem - also stars Sydney Sweeney, Paul Walter Hauser, Eric Dane, and Simon Rex. Halsey then concludes her $3.5M-grossing, 31-date For My Last Trick: The Tour at Turkey's Yenikapi Festival Park in Istanbul on August 28, which will be filmed. The I Never Loved You belter will also reunite with her MaXXXine director Ti West for Amazon MGM Studios series Bloodlust that she's creating, writing, and producing. 'I started the pilot a few years ago and Amazon wanted it and they took it and now we're getting it on the road,' Halsey told THR on Sunday. 'There's not so much that I can say but it's really cool to be a part of a project that I don't face. It's quite relieving. [I'm] just behind the scenes, just the puppet master. I don't have to do my make-up.' As for Avan, his upcoming acting projects include Amazon MGM Studios' eight-episode erotic thriller 56 Days and A24's sci-fi horror The Backrooms directed by Kane Parsons.

Meghan toasts to ‘beautiful day' as she launches new rose wine

The Duchess of Sussex has toasted to a 'beautiful day' to mark the launch of her latest rose wine. Meghan released her As Ever Napa Valley Rose 2024 – described as evoking the same 'soft notes of stone fruit, gentle minerality, and a lasting finish' as the 2023 rose – on Tuesday. It comes after the previous rose, launched last month, sold out within an hour. In a video posted on her Instagram, Meghan can be seen uncorking a bottle marked 'Bottle #1' in front of bouquets of pink and cream flowers – followed by close-up of the cork bearing the As Ever logo. Alongside the clip, she wrote: 'Here we go! First bottle off the line! 'Toasting to a beautiful day: Our Napa rose is live @aseverofficial.' As with the previous wine, the beverage is priced at more than £67 for a minimum three-bottle order – and only appeared to be available for US customers to buy, with shipping addresses limited to America. As Ever is Meghan's lifestyle brand which also sells cookie mix, herb tea, flower sprinkles and jams. A post on the company's Instagram show the corks branded with the As Ever logo, with a caption reading: 'C'est l'heure. 'Enjoy your last sips of summer with the newest vintage of our beloved Napa Valley rose.' The website describes the drink as 'thoughtfully curated by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex' and that it has been 'made to be enjoyed with the ones you love'. The pale pink wine, which comes in a clear bottle with a white, gold-rimmed label, has an ABV (alcohol by volume) of 13.5% – one percent lower than its predecessor. As with the 2023 rose, the newest wine is not available to buy in orders of less than three bottles. Three bottles cost 90 US dollars (around £67), six bottles cost 159 dollars (around £119) including a 12% discount, and 12 bottles are priced at 300 dollars (around £225) including a 17% discount. Meghan and the Duke of Sussex left the UK and moved to California five years ago for a new life after stepping down from the working monarchy.

Viewers were invited along on that journey with her back in November 2022 and it proved an instant hit for Netflix. The previous Principal has died, she solved the mystery behind a murderous rampage and half the school burned down.

Percy Hynes White is not returning as Xavier in Wednesday season two | Netflix Cast your minds back to the end of season one, which you might have watched quite a long time ago. One of the final moments saw Xavier and Wednesday appear to start to patch up their friendship as he gifted her her very first mobile phone.

However, NME reports that actor Percy Hynes White will not be back and the character has been written out of the show.

On his own Instagram account, White strenuously denied the allegations and said the 'rumours were false'. White faced no formal complaints related to the allegations, according to NME. However, he later confirmed he would not be returning, Elle Magazine reports, saying: 'I had so much fun working on this show. I can't wait to watch season 2 :) Much love.'' Wednesday star Jenna Ortega herself has spoken about Xavier's absence from the second series.
