Amanda Holden's co-star complains about her 'naked' on air admissions
Amanda Holden has a habit of oversharing on Heart FM with her co-star Jamie Theakston seemingly making it clear that he's had enough of her 'naked' confessions. Amanda Holden's co-star Jamie Theakston has voiced a "complaint" about her "naked" confession. The pair have hosted the breakfast show on Heart FM together since 2019. On one of their recent shows, a listener called in to reveal they had been informed by their child's school about an "incident" that had occured as they completed their Duke of Edinburgh Award. The listener explained that the youngsters had followed a footpath that took them through a nudist beach. They added that the teachers had reassured that 'everything was okay' but they 'just wanted to let them know'. Amanda and Jamie were both left gobsmacked by the story, the Mirror reports. Jamie, 54, joked: 'You know those kids have done that on purpose. I love the fact that the teachers are concerned about their mental health and the kids have had an absolute hoot.' Amanda then replied: 'Mental health seeing a bunch of nudey wrinklers on the beach? No disrespect, you know I'm naked most of the time in my house. Naked barbecues, naked lawnmowing…' Jamie responded: 'We're not going to get 16 seconds of this are we?' His comment prompted laughter from Amanda, who recently revealed her love of being naked at home led to an awkward moment. She described the situation as 'potentially terrible'. When Jamie asked if the moment was 'career-threatening,' Amanda replied 'yes'. The incident happened when Amanda revealed she has recently had a camera installed in her garden.

Amanda explained that she had her trusty electrician Andy set up the device but she was under the impression it would not be operating for a few days. She explained: "I get him round the other day because I needed something else putting up, and he goes, 'I'll have a look at what we're doing to make sure the angle is alright on that camera', he said, 'It's been going for the last couple of days'. 'I went, 'I beg your pardon? !' He said, 'Oh yeah, I've downloaded the app', he said, 'I just need to make sure the angle is right'." Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda then turned to co-star Jamie and said: "Can you imagine what I've got up to in my garden in a couple of days?" As Jamie tried to guess what Amanda may have done in her garden, she confessed that she had mowed the lawn naked and showed her chest to her husband Chris Hughes. She said: 'I'm always naked in my back garden. "I've definitely been naked, and for a joke the other day, I was sorting something out in the garden and my husband waved at me from the bedroom window, and I flashed my boobs at him, because I thought this is funny and I went 'wahoo' [flashing] like that." Amanda insists she forgot the camera was there because it blended in with her drainpipe. She said: "I had no idea it was up, and now Andy is going to be reviewing this footage and I need it all deleted". Amanda explained that the electrician could view the camera remotely through his mobile phone, with all recordings being automatically saved to a digital file. She added: "It exists! Naked lawnmowing and me flashing my boobs to my husband". Jamie replied that her escapades would make TV gold, which she playfully embraced. "I'd go [to] Netflix Netflix can have it". Addressing Andy on air in case he was listening, she said: "If Andy is listening, get round [to] my house! Delete [the footage from] Monday and Tuesday. "And I'm not joking Andy, I need that camera turned off because I've got all the school mums coming round, and that is terrible."

Three teenagers appear in court charged with murder of boy, 14
Ibrahima died in hospital after he was attacked on Sunday as he was on his way to play football with his brother and friends, magistrates in Manchester heard Three teenagers have appeared in court accused of murdering a 14-year-old as he was on his way to play football with his brother and friends. Ibrahima Seck died in hospital after he was attacked outside the Fairway Inn in New Moston, Greater Manchester, at about 5pm on Sunday. Magistrates heard he was on his way to play football at a nearby park when an alleged altercation took place. He was killed by a single stab wound to the chest. Three boys - two aged 14 and the other 16 - appeared at Manchester magistrates court charged with murder and possessing a bladed article. Each boy had members of their family in court as the proceedings took place. They were remanded in custody and are all due to appear again at Manchester Crown Court tomorrow (Thurs). The three teenagers cannot be named for legal reasons due to their age. Police said a 37-year-old woman and a 14-year-old girl - both arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender - had been released on bail pending further inquiries. Det Ch Insp Tony Platten, of the force's major incident team, said: 'The last 48 hours has seen an extensive amount of police work, which has seen multiple officers working to help get the answers Ibrahima's family deserve. 'Now that we have secured three charges, a new level of proceedings is active, and we will continue to work on our investigation as this progresses. 'Ibrahima's family remain at the forefront of our minds and we will be remaining in close contact with them throughout the process.' Following his death, Ibrahima's parents paid tribute to him as a 'well-liked young boy' who was "funny, caring and hard-working". They said; 'He was so smiley and always made everybody laugh.' His father left flowers at the scene of the attack on Monday while his mother had to be held up by loved ones while his father showed reporters an image of his son on his mobile phone and repeated 'he's been killed' . His headteacher Louise Hodson, of Greater Manchester Independent School, said Ibrahima's infectious energy 'lit up every room' and his death had left a 'huge hole' in the school community. She said Ibrahima had a 100% attendance rate, was doing the Duke of Edinburgh Award and loved drama lessons at the school. She said: 'Ibrahima was a lively, intelligent and engaging young man whose presence lit up every room. Known for his warm, chatty nature, his infectious energy and sense of humour, brought joy to students and staff alike.' After he was stabbed, Ibrahima reportedly ran to a house on nearby Nevin Road. Officers have continued to appeal for doorbell or dashcam footage and eye-witness accounts from anyone who was in the area at the time.

A 'CARING' Middlewich High School student has been recognised for her efforts helping disabled horse riders Sienna Clarke has been volunteering at Reaseheath Equestrian Centre while completing the bronze Duke of Edinburgh Award (DofE). During her time at the college, the 14-year-old has been helping children with disabilities, such as cerebral palsy or learning difficulties, with Nantwich RDA (Riding for the Disabled). Now Sienna has been named the New Young Volunteer of the Year in the Nantwich RDA Awards 2025. She said: "I've really enjoyed working with the adults and children with the Nantwich RDA - the best part is seeing them smile and how they have developed confidence on the horses. "I feel I am more confident in and out of school, especially when talking to other people. Sienna Clarke (Image: Middlewich High School) "This is something that I will now continue to do once I have finished the bronze award, I would really like to work towards the silver award." Some of the activities Sienna has been doing while volunteering include walking around the arena for three hours a week supporting the children with their co-ordination, as well as helping them feel safer and more secure on the horses. In winning the award, Nantwich RDA highlighted the great physical endurance Sienna has shown during her volunteering, as well as her caring nature and great leadership skills. She has built trust and relationships with some amazing children and volunteers at the equine centre at Reaseheath. Lydia Naylor, head teacher at Middlewich High School, said: "We are extremely proud of Sienna and all our students taking part in the DofE for all the volunteering hours they have carried out.

'It broke me' - Devon charity workers devastated after thousands stolen during break-in
Watch Marina Jenkins' report on the burglary A charity manager has been left 'distraught' after her community centre was burgled and vandalised in Paignton. Police are investigating the thefts which took place at the CentrePeace Community Café overnight on 26 and 27 May. Officers are searching for two men who they believe are responsible for stealing £2,000 and causing more than £10,000 worth of damage. CentrePeace offers a range of services, from free workshops, activities and counselling to a charity shop and a café selling affordable meals. Manager Dee Mulhall described the moment she found the devastation: "I walked upstairs and saw what they had done. The place was trashed. It broke me. I was just distraught. "I was mortified that they took money, because we're a charity. Everything we make goes back into supporting the local community. "The worst thing about it is now our regulars have nowhere to go. One man who comes in every single day, just looked at me and said 'where am I supposed to go now?' It's heartbreaking." CentrePeace opened its doors in 2013 and initially supported the homeless community in Paignton. But over the years, it has evolved into a large community hub. 15-year-old Fiona Akter started volunteering at CentrePeace as part of her Duke of Edinburgh Award. But because she enjoyed it so much, has continued working for the charity. Fiona said: "It's just so sad. Why would someone do this? It's a charity, a place which helps people every day. "If we don't have good places like this for people to go to, people won't survive. These places are needed." Dee is slowly piecing the community centre back together and has launched a crowdfunder to help pay for the repairs. She hopes CentrePeace will be able to reopen soon, and thanks people for their kindness and offers of donations. A Devon and Cornwall Police spokesperson said: "Officers are investigating the burglaries and appealing to anyone who saw or heard anything suspicious to contact them. "They would particularly like to hear from anyone who may have captured the incidents or suspects on CCTV or doorbell camera.
