US supermodel worth $30,000,000 spotted in Morley's chicken shop in Brick Lane

Metro16-05-2025

Despite being worth $25 million, it seems Bella Hadid still appreciates a bargain after being spotted at budget chicken shop Morley's in Brick Lane.
Beloved by the likes of Stormzy and Krept, Morley's has multiple branches across the UK after launching in 1985.
Bella has joined the ranks of stars sampling their famous fried chicken – and possibly those featured on Amelia Dimoldenberg's Chicken Shop Date – arriving at the Brick Lane eatery wearing casual blue denim jeans, a brown top, and a matching frilly cardigan.
Ever the style icon, the supermodel completed the look with a matching brown handbag, black sunglasses, and heels.
It comes after Bella, the sister of Gigi Hadid, made an appearance at Cannes Film Festival, debuting her new blonde locks, a drastic change from her usual brunette hair.
She attended the opening ceremony in an eye-catching black dress with a plunging back
Her festival appearance followed her opening up about suffering from an 'excruciating' chronic illness.
The 28-year-old American runway star has already spoken publicly about her chronic Lyme disease, with which she was diagnosed in 2012.
Bella, her brother Anwar, 25, and their mother, Yolanda, 61, all have the chronic illness. It refers to non-specific symptoms (such as extreme fatigue, muscle pain, and brain fog) to describe their condition, even if there is no evidence that they had Lyme disease before.
In a new interview, the Victoria's Secret angel reflected on living with the condition in conjunction with the effects of depression, anxiety, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), endometriosis, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
She admitted to British Vogue that she believes 'nobody really understands chronic illness.'
'It's hard to take a shower most days,' she shared, before joking that she does 'shower every day'. More Trending
'But sometimes, if I have one day off, if I can get in the shower and make myself breakfast, I see that as an accomplishment.'
The interview was recorded at 3pm that day, with Bella revealing she was in 'excruciating pain until 11' after a 'tough morning'.
Bella, who often works 14-hour days on set for films and shoots, said she has to 'push [herself]' to get through, with things often getting 'really bad' amid the comedown.

New Garnethill gallery to celebrate city's graffiti scene

With the public opening of the space set for Friday the 6th of June, the duo is hard at work. Setting down his tools for a brief chat, Ciaran tells me: 'I've known Panda since I was 16. We've both been part of the street art and graffiti scene in Glasgow, and various other art scenes in the city for all of our adult lives. 'Whenever I'd speak to Panda about future dreams and plans we had, a gallery was always part of that equation — but it was a pipe dream.' Ciaran, who works as a sign painter, met Panda at college back in 2006. Sat behind a rough wooden counter with a box of Crimbles macaroons in arms reach, Panda adds: 'I've had my stall at the Barras for two and a half years. It was really close to Ciaran's studio — he'd come and visit a lot. We'd speak about how we wanted the city to change, and that planted the seeds of doing something together. 'One day I was walking past and noticed that the space was up for rent. I always imagined the side wall having a mural on it, but had never been inside before.' Panda at work in the new gallery. (Image: Gordon Terris) Panda points to the 2008 film Beautiful Losers, which documents the lives of street artists in New York, as the duo's 'North Star'. 'The film is about a lot of American artists from all sorts of backgrounds,' he notes. 'They forge a really beautiful community and become some of the biggest artists in America. 'We've been involved in this since we were so young, so it is strange that something similar hasn't happened here yet.' Panda says that Glasgow's sometimes-reticent attitude to street art has been sparked by the council's approach to graffiti. He pauses. 'Historically,' Panda explains, 'the council has been very conservative on street art and graffiti. They've had a zero tolerance approach, and spent the highest amount of any council in the UK in removing graffiti. 'But when you remove stuff, it makes things stagnant. Yet, over the last five years, things have begun to change, there have been a lot of murals springing up. I think most people are actually pretty positive about street art.' The duo have been friends for nearly 20 years. (Image: Gordon Terris) This sentiment has been echoed on social media, as 46,000 people have followed the gallery's transformation on Panda's Instagram account. Ciaran adds: 'The immediate community here in Garnethill have been super positive about us moving in, because this building has lay in a semi-dilapidated state for quite some time. 'The exterior was subject to a lot of wear and tear, so as soon as we started slapping paint on it, we got a great reaction - the neighbours loved it. 'We've only been working on it for one month, but it's been a complete team effort - inside and out. If it was just me and Panda doing it, we'd be nowhere near finished but everyone has chipped in — it shows how much people want this. 'We've had joiners, stonemasons, glazers, electricians, neon sign installers and others help out.'

The gallery will be open five days a week, Wednesday to Sunday; and sell affordable prints, merchandise, and artwork from close friends and fellow street artists. At the core of the gallery will be a rotating floor show each month, showcasing artists from across Glasgow. The first show, entitled 'Friends', is set to run between 6 June and 3 July. Panda says he hopes that the gallery will serve as a social space for Glasgow's arts community. The shop will be open five days a week. (Image: Gordon Terris) The artist has previously shared his experiences of drinking and drug-taking, and how committing to his work has helped to keep him sober. As a fitting tribute to the redemptive power of art, the gallery will open on the eight anniversary of Panda's sobriety. Panda tells me: 'We all used to hang out at the Art School union back in the day, and always went along to shows at Recoat gallery.' 'We want to create something similar — a regular community for artists. We want each show to be an excuse for people to come together.'

Shuggie Bain author Douglas Stuart's highly-anticipated new novel announced

Scottish-American novelist Douglas Stuart's third novel is a "tender and devastating story of love and religion, of a father and son, art and landscape" and is set for publication in 2026. Booker-Prize winning author of Shuggie Bain and Young Mungo is set to release a new novel. Douglas Stuart's next project is expected to be another tender and poignant powerhouse work, and was acquired by Picador to be released in 2026. Titled John of John, the book is set in the Isle of Harris and is described as a 'tender and devastating story' about love, religion, family secrets and sexuality. The story follows Cal Macleod, a young man returning home to his father, John, and grandmother in a small village in the Outer Hebrides at the end of the 90s. ‌ A recent art school graduate, Cal is drawn home to the family croft under the pretence of caring for his ailing grandmother. But when Cal returns home, he quickly discovers that not everything is as his father made it out to be and is also drawn back 'into a world of suppressed emotion and terrible secrecy'. ‌ In the words of the novel's author: '[John of John] is a story about looking for love. It's a story about looking for self. But Cal has left behind many broken relationships when he left the island, and he's got to come back and face them all. 'And the family, although they're living in this one small croft house, are all keeping some kind of secret from each other.' In this intense and intimate family portrait, Cal and John both keeping their sexuality secret threatens both their relationship and their own lives. John of John is currently set to be published on May 21, 2026. At this time, you can pre-order a hardback copy from Waterstones for £20. Stuart shared in a video for Waterstones: 'I'm really excited. It's my third novel, it's my new novel, and I hope you enjoy meeting the Macleod family and everyone that comes into their life.' Douglas Stuart is a Scottish-American author and has written two novels to date: Shuggie Bain (2020) and Young Mungo (2022). Both of Stuart's previous two works have drawn on his troubled family upbringing and his experience being gay in a claustrophobic Glasgow community coloured by toxic masculinity and poverty. ‌ Help us improve our content by completing the survey below. We'd love to hear from you! Stuart grew up on a housing estate in Glasgow and earned a master's degree from the Royal College of Art before moving to New York City at 24 to work as a fashion designer. He wrote his debut novel Shuggie Bain while working 12-hour shifts as a senior director of design. Based on Stuart's childhood, Shuggie Bain is set in Glasgow in the 1980s and tells the story of a young boy growing up with a mother who is battling addiction. Stuart explores poverty, tough upbringings and alcoholism in his book. Shuggie Bain went on to receive widespread literary acclaim, winning the esteemed Booker Prize in 2020. A24 picked up rights to adapt Shuggie Bain more than four years ago and the BBC greenlit the project in late 2022, but it is still seeking international finance, as reported by Deadline.

The annual festival includes almost 100 events throughout August, and is expected to attract about 50,000 people to the city, with Bangor Castle Walled Garden and the Court House on the seafront as the focal venues. Lightbody will be talking to Irish author and broadcaster Sinead Gleeson about his book The Forest Is The Path, which was published in March, in what has been billed as a 'very different and incredibly personal hometown appearance', on August 26-27. Among the other stars to appear at the Walled Garden are singers Lisa O'Neill and Mary Coughlan, folk duo Ye Vagabonds, and comedians Paddy Raff, Chris Kent and Neil Delamere. Events at the Court House include The Ocelots, twin brothers from Wexford now based in Germany, and a special festival performance by Northern Ireland Opera. Among the other author events scheduled, former Labour cabinet member Alan Johnson will talk about his new book, Harold Wilson, Chris Whitaker will be discussing his international best-selling novel All The Colours Of The Dark, and American writer Karen Hao will be talking about her new book Empire Of AI. Open House director Kieran Gilmore said the festival puts a spotlight on Bangor's creative talent. 'This year's festival has some of our finest local artists performing in iconic venues throughout the city,' he said. 'From an interview with Gary Lightbody about his new book, to a conversation between Declan Lawn, Bafta-winning writer of Blue Lights, and local author Colin Bateman, to an intimate launch of a new EP by King Cedar, we're bringing around 100 events across a whole range of art forms.'
