The programme, which was broadcast live from the Hammersmith Apollo after a week of five semi-finals, also saw performances from singer Stacey Leadbeatter, dance group Ping Pong Pang and guitarist Olly Pearson.

In a powerful message to fans, Ross revealed that he's 65 days sober and determined never to go back. In an emotional post, he shared: 'For everyone who's been asking me about this book – what is it, and what's it done for me – well, here you go. 'I'm finally ready to share it with the world, because I'm more stable now, and my mindset is stronger than ever. 'So yeah… I'm an alcoholic.

'This book has changed my life in so many positive ways. 'I'm beyond thankful to my family and loved ones for putting it in front of me. I know I've been hard work at times, but you stuck by me – and now, I'm in a place where I wake up genuinely happy every single day. 'To be honest, I never read books before.

'I'm 65 days sober – and I've made a promise to myself: I'm never going back. I'm done for good.' Ross's brave confession comes after his fiery split from Sacha on the show, where tensions flared after he was caught messaging another bride following explosive rows with Sacha. It was claimed Ross had been secretly messaging fellow show star Erica Roberts. But now, Ross has turned over a new leaf – and fans are rallying around his powerful message of hope. Fans thanked him for his honest post, and one replied to his post: Congratulations Tough but worthwhile journey. I'm trudging that road too ODAAT" Another said: "Love this so much! So brave of you to share. It will be a journey but one you will not regret. I'm 161 days xx"

Motherwell model encourages others to 'empower in every step' as she aims for Miss Great Britain crown
Jennifer Winter, from Motherwell, is hoping to use the Miss Great Britain platform to inspire others to embrace self-growth, overcome personal challenges and build confidence through stepping outside their comfort zones. A Lanarkshire woman is encouraging others to take a step out of their comfort zone and try something new, as she prepares to compete for a major national beauty pageant title. Jennifer Winter, from Motherwell, is hoping to use the Miss Great Britain platform to inspire others to embrace self-growth, overcome personal challenges and build confidence through stepping outside their comfort zones. The 27-year-old actress and model – who starred as Princess Jasmine in last year's flagship pantomime Aladdin at Ravenscraig Sport Centre – will go up against dozens of other hopefuls at the competition's Edinburgh heat on Thursday, June 5. Now returning for her second year after placing first runner-up in 2024, Jennifer has launched her personal platform, Empower in Every Step, which encourages others to take a leap of faith and step outside their comfort zones. Jennifer said: 'I had never entered a pageant before last year and honestly, I was terrified. 'But it turned out to be the most empowering experience I've ever had. It pushed me in ways I never expected and helped me grow so much as a person. 'Now, I want to inspire others to do the same, whether it's trying something completely new, standing up for themselves, or just taking that first small step outside of what feels safe.' Earlier this year, she launched a limited Instagram interview series called Walk Through It, where she speaks to a range of different women about how they have overcome setbacks they have previously faced in their lives. Jennifer added: 'Walk Through It was born from a desire to show others they're not alone. 'Everyone goes through hardships in life, but it's about finding strength in the struggle. 'Taking small steps to get back to yourself is powerful and I wanted to create a space where women could share those journeys authentically.' Over the last two years, she has also dedicated her time to using her platform to amplify the work of good causes across the country, raising more than £400 for A-Sisterhood – an organisation that seeks to empower, support and protect women worldwide – and over £600 for Cancer Research UK and Alex's Wish. Jennifer continued: 'Fundraising has become such an important part of this journey for me. 'Whether it's raising money or raising awareness, even the smallest actions can make a big impact.' Founded in 2024, the Miss Great Britain Edinburgh competition has enjoyed outstanding success in its inaugural year, with its first-ever titleholder Ava Morgan going on to scoop the national crown at the Miss Great Britain final in Leicester last October. Now, Jennifer hopes to make it a back-to-back win as the next representative for Scotland's capital. She added: 'I was so inspired by Ava's journey. Seeing someone from this very stage go on to win the national title was incredible. 'It would be such an honour to represent Edinburgh, especially as it's the city I work in and love so much. 'To wear that sash and represent a place that means so much to me would be a massive honour. 'It's not just about the crown though, it's about the courage, the causes and the connections you make along the way. 'No matter the outcome, I hope someone out there sees my story and feels brave enough to start their own.' Established in 1945, Miss Great Britain has long been recognised as the UK's oldest pageant, with previous winners including Capital Scotland presenter Amy Meisak and Scottish model and presenter Deone Robertson. *Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.
