Now Chelsee, who recently took time away from her role as Goldie McQueen to give birth to her second daughter, has now made a cryptic move on X. The Manchester lass, 36, re-posted a picture of her character crying to her page.

Another big name set to quit for good is popstar turned soap star Jamelia. The soap's resident hunk and TV favourite Owen Warner has also left the show amid the cuts with fans left devastated to say goodbye to his character Romeo Nightingale. Jamie Lomas has also quit the show and will depart his Warren Fox role soon. Haiesha Mistry famed for her role as Yasmine Maalik has also left after seven years. 'We did the surrogacy thing to help people because when we started, not many people had done it before so there were loads of questions I wanted answered. "I feel like we did that and that is covered now.' Asked if he would do a family reality show, he said: 'No, I don't think I would be up for that because I do like to have my private life. It's too exposing.' 6 The duo are parents of two Credit: Instagram/@mrkieronrichardson 6 Kieron is best-known for playing Hollyoaks' Ste Hay Credit: Lime Pictures

'80s singer known for hit song looks completely different in rare LA outing – but her signature bold style is the same
She turned heads in a boldly patterned geometric-print robe and matching headscarf SO FINE! '80s singer known for hit song looks completely different in rare LA outing – but her signature bold style is the same '80S SINGER Toni Basil looked completely different during a rare LA outing - but her signature bold style was the same. Toni, 81, known for her chart-topping 1982 hit Mickey, made a rare public appearance in Los Angeles on Monday. 6 Toni Basil looked completely different during a rare LA outing - but her signature bold style was the same Credit: BackGrid 6 She turned heads in a boldly patterned geometric-print robe and matching headscarf Credit: BackGrid Spotted chatting to a friend in the Californian city, she turned heads in a boldly patterned geometric-print robe and matching headscarf. Toni completed the look with chic sunglasses, a statement red lip, and a pair of smiley-face fuzzy slippers - which appeared to be duct taped together. The musician threw her hands in the air and appeared to be in deep conversation with the pal. Born Antonia Christina Basilotta in 1943, Toni grew up in Las Vegas, where music and performance ran in the family. Her father was an orchestra leader and her mother a vaudeville performer. She graduated from Las Vegas High School in 1961, where she was a head cheerleader, a role that later inspired the iconic cheerleader outfit she wore in her Mickey video. Starting her career in the 1960s, Toni made a name for herself as a go-go dancer in beach party films. She even earned praise from none other than Quentin Tarantino, who dubbed her The Goddess of Go-Go. Toni appeared in well-known movies like Easy Rider and Five Easy Pieces and worked as a choreographer for Elvis Presley's film Viva Las Vegas. In 1971, she helped form The Lockers, a groundbreaking street dance troupe that brought funk and street dance styles to the mainstream. Caprice Bourret and Oscar Peter skate to Toni Basil's 'Mickey' on Dancing on Ice Her single Mickey shot to worldwide success in 1982, topping the Billboard Hot 100 charts and achieving platinum sales. Toni didn't just sing the track - she also directed and choreographed its music video, famously dressed in a cheerleading uniform inspired by her high school days. The song remains a quintessential '80s anthem, ranked among VH1's top one-hit wonders of the decade. Beyond her singing career, Toni has been a highly sought-after choreographer, working with legendary performers such as David Bowie, Bette Midler, and Tina Turner. Notably, she choreographed the iconic Once in a Lifetime video for Talking Heads and even lent her talents to Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood when she was 75. In recognition of her significant contributions to music and dance, Toni was inducted into the Women Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2023, highlighting her lasting impact on the entertainment world. 6 Toni completed the look with chic sunglasses and a statement red lip Credit: BackGrid 6 Her pair of smiley-face fuzzy slippers appeared to be duct taped together Credit: BackGrid 6 Toni is seen earlier this month Credit: The Mega Agency

Pathetic amount disgraced James Argent forced to pay his ex-girlfriend after attacking her revealed
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SHAMED ex-Towie star James Argent was ordered to pay his ex-girlfriend just £250 in compensation for attacking her, we can reveal. Argent, 37, was handed a six month suspended prison sentence after hurting Nicoline Artursson at their Spanish home. Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 4 James Argent was handed a suspended sentence after hurting his ex-girlfriend Nicoline Artursson Credit: Instagram 4 The reality star now has to complete a domestic violence course Credit: BackGrid 4 He was spotted recently partying at a club Credit: real_arg/Instagram He frogmarched her to the door of their picturesque beachfront property and pushed her down a set of steps. The former Miss Sweden, 32, suffered several injuries to her neck, arms, hand and leg in the violent early-hours assault. Cops wanted to charge Argent with wounding but settled for the lesser offence of 'mistreatment' after he agreed to a plea deal. But court papers obtained by The Sun show Argent - who raked in £5,000-a-week last year - was only required to pay Nicoline a paltry £250 in damages. Fuengirola's Court of Violence Against Women also issued a two-year restraining order banning him from contacting her. The court report reads: "During the argument, and with the intention of harming her physical integrity, he grabbed hold of her tightly by her arm and pushed her causing her to fall down the stairs. "The injured woman suffered several bruises to her neck, a bruise to her right forearm, several abrasions to her right arm, and abrasions to her right hand and on her right leg. "The injuries she suffered healed in seven days on skin and soft tissue." Beaming Argent returned to Spain on Friday and was filmed dancing with fans on stage and singing during a gig a stone's throw from where he flew into a rage in Cala de Mijas. A Spanish legal source said: "If he's got all that money it's no wonder he's all smiles on stage. Watch James Argent shamelessly dance on stage before holding fan 'meet & greets' on return to Spain after attack on ex "Compensation of just £250, for someone with his earning potential, is a drop in the ocean. "The courts in Spain can't pull cash compensation figures out of the air. "They have to follow strict guidelines that revolve around medical bills victims can show they've had to pay or proven losses they've had because of time off work. "But the amount James Argent has to pay here is small change for someone like him." 4 Nicoline Artursson first started dating Argent in September 2024 Credit: Doug Seeburg But his hopes of obtaining a permanent visa in Spain appear to be over. He wanted to work beyond the permitted 90 days but his conviction is likely to see his application rejected. Argent also faces a 10-week domestic violence course as part of his sentence - and could be jailed if he fails to attend. He will be forced to listen to survivors' stories as part of the rehabilitation programme designed to help him construct a "new masculinity". A friend of Argent's said he was "extremely sorry" and had expressed remorse. But in a statement he issued hours later there was no apology. Instead, he said he was "devastated" by what had happened but insisted he had not suffered a drink or drugs relapse. He and Nicoline first went public with their romance last September when they flew to Saint-Tropez in the South of France. In an Instagram post he wrote: "I honestly started to think that it might not happen for me but I found you and everything changed."
