Taking to Instagram, Adele shared a new health update with her followers. She posted in her story: "Having a blood test today for my anaemia. "Hopefully this one will go well and I will get more medication. "We're not sure why my iron count is low... either damage to my blood from chemo or due to having a stoma. "Without my medication I have no energy. I'm not running at the moment and I'm so tired all the time. "Hopefully I'll get some more medicine once my GP has seen today's results... otherwise I'm going to be consistently falling asleep until I die." Adele first suffered cancer symptoms on I'm A Celebrity in 2019, although she was not diagnosed until 2021. The DJ previously told the Monday Mile podcast about how chemotherapy removed her fingerprints. Adele said at the time: 'Chemotherapy is different with every single person. 'And with me, it really affected my skin. Adele Roberts 'looks like she's been run over by a tractor' as she shows off marked stomach after Dancing On Ice finale 'So it took my fingerprints off. I couldn't use my fingers, I couldn't use touch screens, I couldn't use my phone, self-checkouts, things like that. 'It really damaged the bottom of my feet - it looked like they'd been burnt or something like that. 'It also turned my tongue black. I had these black spots on my tongue.' The radio presenter now lives with a stoma bag, which she has named Audrey. Last year, Adele revealed the real reason why she hasn't married her partner of 20 years. What are the red flag warning signs of bowel cancer? IT'S the fourth most common cancer in the UK, the second deadliest - yet bowel cancer can be cured, if you catch it early enough. While screening is one way of ensuring early diagnosis, there are things everyone can do to reduce their risk of the deadly disease. Being aware of the signs and symptoms of bowel cancer, spotting any changes and checking with your GP can prove a life-saver. If you notice any of the signs, don't be embarrassed and don't ignore them. Doctors are used to seeing lots of patients with bowel problems. The five red-flag symptoms of bowel cancer include: Bleeding from the back passage, or blood in your poo A change in your normal toilet habits - going more frequently for example Pain or a lump in your tummy Extreme tiredness Losing weight Tumours in the bowel typically bleed, which can cause a shortage of red blood cells, known as anaemia. It can cause tiredness and sometimes breathlessness. In some cases bowel cancer can block the bowel, this is known as a bowel obstruction. Other signs include: Gripping pains in the abdomen Feeling bloated Constipation and being unable to pass wind Being sick Feeling like you need to strain - like doing a number two - but after you've been to the loo While these are all signs to watch out for, experts warn the most serious is noticing blood in your stools. But, they warn it can prove tricky for doctors to diagnose the disease, because in most cases these symptoms will be a sign of a less serious disease. The star admitted her concerns when quizzed about what she might wear if they were to marry Kate Holderness, who she has been in a relationship with since 2004. Adele said: "This is the reason I've not got married, because I don't know what to wear - I'm being serious. Clothes really overwhelm me. "Kate has to pick her moments when she takes me shopping because I just get really overwhelmed with choice. "And so if you came to my house you'd see Kate's rail - which is like beautiful and it's all the colours of the rainbow - and mine is just black, black, black, black, black - and maybe one white top."

Free Blockbuster boxes arrive in Minnesota
It's 2025, but Blockbuster is back in Minnesota — and there's probably one near you right now. The big picture: The metro is home to a dozen locations of Free Blockbuster, take-a-movie, leave-a-movie boxes inspired by (but not affiliated with) the mostly-defunct video rental store. There are over 100 boxes across 45 states, and Twin Cities locations range from front yards to game stores to church lobbies. Reality check: They might not be as well-stocked as your local Little Free Library. Audrey visited boxes in Apple Valley and Minneapolis, and while the former was full of bootleg DVDs, the latter was down to two VHS tapes.

Coronation Street budget cuts ‘so obvious' say fans as they spot huge change to Audrey's salon – did you see it?
This comes after bosses slashed the number of characters to be seen inside the Rovers TRIMMED DOWN Coronation Street budget cuts 'so obvious' say fans as they spot huge change to Audrey's salon – did you see it? Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FANS of Coronation Street have said that the budget cuts have become 'so obvious' to see on-screen. Longtime viewers of the ITV soap have spotted a huge change to the set of Audrey's salon. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 6 Viewers have noticed a major change to Audrey's Salon Credit: ITV 6 This comes as long-running stars like Sue Cleaver have departed the long-running soap Credit: Shutterstock Editorial 6 Viewers are starting to see the results of the cash crisis as characters such as Craig Tinker are being killed off Credit: ITV Helen Worth previously departed Coronation Street last year after five decades in the role as Gail Platt. However, her on-screen family still remains in Weatherfield as her mother Audrey Roberts (Sue Nicholls) still runs the salon. She hires two members of staff, her grandson David (Jack P. Shepherd) and Maria Connor (Samia Longchambon) to run the shop. However, one keen viewer took to social media fan forum site Reddit as they noted that the salon nearly always appears to be practically deserted by its once loyal customer base. In a thread titled, 'The salon is always empty!' the user wrote: "Why was Audrey hiring in the salon? "There's always no one there. I remember there used to be a good few people sitting in their getting their hair done back in the day. "I'm playing catchup so I'm way behind. Watching April episodes. This just tickled me. lol." Viewers think that this is all due to the budget cuts at ITV as execs can no longer afford to pay as many guest actors and extras. Another user claimed: "Budget-cuts, most-probably, the way ITV's struggling now. "They probably can't afford guest-characters to fill up the space quite as much as they used to." Audrey Roberts drops huge bombshell after 46 years on Coronation Street While someone else commented: "Oh wow. Things must be bad. It's sad because it just doesn't look realistic. It's always empty." Meanwhile, more viewers noticed that the barber shop on Victoria Street called Trim Up North has also disappeared from screens. On the same thread another viewer asked: "What happened to trim up north? That set looked more modern." A second replied: "Yes. That seems to have just disappeared. Unless I missed a storyline about it." As a third stated: "I think it closed permanently in January 2023 Could be wrong but sure I remember something along those lInes." Bosses previously decided to slash the number of established characters in scenes taking place in the iconic Rovers Return pub in a bid to reportedly claw back cash. Every time actors appear on-screen, they are due a per-episode fee, which can mount up for actors on lucrative deals. The cash crisis at ITV also prompted an exodus of huge cast members from the hit soap. Longtime stars such as Sue Cleaver, Colson Smith, Shelley King, and Sue Devaney have either quit or were forced to leave the cash-strapped serial drama. This comes as ITV has slashed both Corrie and Emmerdale to five 30-minute episodes per week, rather than six. 6 Despite Gail leaving the street, the rest of the Platt family still live in Weatherfield Credit: ITV 6 Viewers have noticed that the salon is mostly lacking customers Credit: ITV
