Caprice says 'I've cheated on my husband' in shock confession
Caprice Bourret is taking the romcom scene by storm, having already produced, starred in, and sold the screening rights to three films. The model-turned-actress, 53, has just finished her fourth film, marking another milestone in her flourishing career. Chatting exclusively with OK! from sunny Ibiza, Caprice shares that these achievements rank highly on her list of proudest moments, second only to her two sons, Jax and Jett. With the boys growing up, she's diving headfirst back into work and loving every minute of it. 'I'm getting better every time, and I'm getting a reputation,' she says, from the set location of her latest movie, A Royal Romance In Ibiza. 'Some people respect me, some people don't like me because they just don't like me, but I am so proud of what I'm doing. I'm working hard and it's paying off'. Here, she tells us more about her exciting film career… I won't beat around the bush here, but I don't care what people say. I'm really proud of what I've done. As a woman, and especially a woman at 53, I want to make good movies. I'm not only doing it, but I sell in 25 different countries, for a budget where I can see a return. For people out there scared to move forward for whatever reason I say, 'If you have a dream, don't worry about the obstacles, go out and do it'. I think I was scared to. Being a model and in my forties, I thought things were finished. But actually with age comes confidence and experience, and now I don't work harder, I work smarter. I'm finally doing what I've always wanted to do. I think I did care what people said, 10 or 15 years ago. Yes, and I think we'd be idiots if we didn't admit it. But let's show everyone that we shouldn't be scared of our age or the fact we're women, or maybe mothers. I don't say, 'I don't care what people think' in an arrogant or disrespectful way, I say it because I want to be an inspiration, I want to show people that regardless of the obstacles, self-imposed or not, we can do it. I've got a great team, that makes a huge difference. I work very efficiently, I'm smarter, I'm better – that comes with experience. My career took a backseat for many years so I could be a mommy, but I want to have a career and I want to work, so I make it work. I was very naive coming into it, I had no idea how hard or time-consuming it would be. Pre-production usually takes me about three-and-a-half months and that's working non-stop every day securing locations, booking actors, organising plane tickets, catering, hotel booking, transport, everything. And then dealing with the traumas on set. We were filming two of five scenes in a restaurant here for this one, and the restaurant manager comes over and says, 'you have to get out, we're fully booked now and I'm not going to lose this kind of money'. So I called my friends and called a few restaurants, and found somewhere to finish the scenes and we didn't lose a day! That's what I mean by working smart. Initially my team will make the first call. If the agent's being difficult, I'll jump in. Then if the agent's being really difficult, I'll find the number of the actor and call them myself! It's ballsy but you've got to do what you've got to do. I remember the first smooch I did. I was so awkward and thought, 'Oh God, I've cheated on my husband!'. But there's always smooching. It's quite a robotic process. With this one, I said to Matt, 'I love this scene in this movie, let's watch it and break it down. You're going to look at me like we're crazy about each other, come closer, touch my cheek, then a very, very slow smooch, then break away and look at me for about three seconds'. That's it, no romance at all. Well, when you have to snog in front of 60 people it's a bit awkward, and of course because my kids have been in my movies, they have to watch me snog somebody! I mean Ty is the love of my life and has no insecurities whatsoever, he finds it all entertaining, but it took Jett a minute. Look, if someone comes to my production and demands this and that and yada, yada, yada, they're going to look like a schmuck. I want people to enjoy working, we have a laugh, I'm not precious about anything. It's not like there's a crazy amount of money in this, I'm doing this because I have a passion for it and I want to make things that myself and my kids are proud of. I have no time for egos. If I said my face was all natural, everyone would know I'm a freaking liar! I love sharing my secrets. I wear SPF 70 every single day, I don't tan from the sun, I get fake tans, and I love Botox, it's fabulous. But I've recently discovered the best thing ever, called CO2 Fractional Laser. It totally tightens the skin, I had so many wrinkles under my eyes but they're all gone. It's insane. I used to take 32 supplements but I'm down to about 20 now. I gave up carbs in January and after the craving went away, I felt fabulous. I've lost about 20lbs since then. It's the first time I've lost weight since the boys were born. But more importantly, I feel really good!

Caprice says 'I've cheated on my husband' in shock movie admission
Caprice Bourrett has a lot of feathers in her cap - and now she can add moviemaker to them, as she opens up about 'awkward' on-set snogs, Hollywood egos and her best-kept beauty secret After conquering the world of lingerie and homewares, Caprice Bourret is now well on her way to becoming the film world 's unofficial queen of romcoms. She's already produced, starred in and – more importantly for business-savvy Caprice – successfully sold the screening rights to three films so far, and has just wrapped on her fourth. For the entrepreneur, model and actress, 53, as she tells OK! during an exclusive catch-up from Ibiza, it's her proudest achievement to date – afte r her two sons Jax and Jett. Now that the boys, who she shares with her husband Ty Comfort, are approaching their teenage years, she's '100% back in the workforce' and relishing every moment. 'I'm getting better every time, and I'm getting a reputation,' she says, from the set location of her latest movie, A Royal Romance In Ibiza. 'Some people respect me, some people don't like me because they just don't like me, but I am so proud of what I'm doing. I'm working hard and it's paying off'. Here, she tells us more about her exciting film career… How have people's opinions changed from your first film to this one? I won't beat around the bush here, but I don't care what people say. I'm really proud of what I've done. As a woman, and especially a woman at 53, I want to make good movies. I'm not only doing it, but I sell in 25 different countries, for a budget where I can see a return. For people out there scared to move forward for whatever reason I say, 'If you have a dream, don't worry about the obstacles, go out and do it'. Do you wish you'd started sooner? I think I was scared to. Being a model and in my forties, I thought things were finished. But actually with age comes confidence and experience, and now I don't work harder, I work smarter. I'm finally doing what I've always wanted to do. I think I did care what people said, 10 or 15 years ago. Is there a lot of ageism in the film industry – both in front and beyond the camera? Yes, and I think we'd be idiots if we didn't admit it. But let's show everyone that we shouldn't be scared of our age or the fact we're women, or maybe mothers. I don't say, 'I don't care what people think' in an arrogant or disrespectful way, I say it because I want to be an inspiration, I want to show people that regardless of the obstacles, self-imposed or not, we can do it. You've already made two films this year with your JJLove Productions company, how do you find the stamina?! I've got a great team, that makes a huge difference. I work very efficiently, I'm smarter, I'm better – that comes with experience. My career took a backseat for many years so I could be a mommy, but I want to have a career and I want to work, so I make it work. You're executive producing as well as acting now – what does that entail? I was very naive coming into it, I had no idea how hard or time-consuming it would be. Pre-production usually takes me about three-and-a-half months and that's working non-stop every day securing locations, booking actors, organising plane tickets, catering, hotel booking, transport, everything. And then dealing with the traumas on set. What sort of traumas?! We were filming two of five scenes in a restaurant here for this one, and the restaurant manager comes over and says, 'you have to get out, we're fully booked now and I'm not going to lose this kind of money'. So I called my friends and called a few restaurants, and found somewhere to finish the scenes and we didn't lose a day! That's what I mean by working smart. When it comes to booking the cast – are you making the calls yourself as 'Caprice the exec producer'? Initially my team will make the first call. If the agent's being difficult, I'll jump in. Then if the agent's being really difficult, I'll find the number of the actor and call them myself! It's ballsy but you've got to do what you've got to do. There's a fair bit of kissing in your films, how do you find that side of acting? I remember the first smooch I did. I was so awkward and thought, 'Oh God, I've cheated on my husband!'. But there's always smooching. It's quite a robotic process. With this one, I said to Matt, 'I love this scene in this movie, let's watch it and break it down. You're going to look at me like we're crazy about each other, come closer, touch my cheek, then a very, very slow smooch, then break away and look at me for about three seconds'. That's it, no romance at all. Do you ever get camera-shy on set? Well, when you have to snog in front of 60 people it's a bit awkward, and of course because my kids have been in my movies, they have to watch me snog somebody! I mean Ty is the love of my life and has no insecurities whatsoever, he finds it all entertaining, but it took Jett a minute. What about the bigger actor names you're working with now – any Hollywood egos? Look, if someone comes to my production and demands this and that and yada, yada, yada, they're going to look like a schmuck. I want people to enjoy working, we have a laugh, I'm not precious about anything. It's not like there's a crazy amount of money in this, I'm doing this because I have a passion for it and I want to make things that myself and my kids are proud of. I have no time for egos. You mentioned earlier that you are 53, you certainly don't look it… If I said my face was all natural, everyone would know I'm a freaking liar! I love sharing my secrets. I wear SPF 70 every single day, I don't tan from the sun, I get fake tans, and I love Botox, it's fabulous. But I've recently discovered the best thing ever, called CO2 Fractional Laser. It totally tightens the skin, I had so many wrinkles under my eyes but they're all gone. It's insane. And what about your health on the inside? I used to take 32 supplements but I'm down to about 20 now. I gave up carbs in January and after the craving went away, I felt fabulous. I've lost about 20lbs since then. It's the first time I've lost weight since the boys were born. But more importantly, I feel really good!

Amy Childs' agony over postponing wedding after mum's terrifying health scare
EXCLUSIVE: Reality star Amy Childs has made the heartbreaking decision to postpone her wedding to fiancé Billy Delbosq, after her mum Julie suffered a terrifying heart attack With a wedding on the horizon, her house renovations nearly complete, and a new series of TOWIE in the pipeline, 2025 was shaping up to be a special year for Amy Childs. However, she exclusively reveals that her family's world has been thrown into disarray following her mum Julie's terrifying heart attack – and as a result,t she and fiancé Billy Delbosq have decided to postpone their big day. 'It has been intensely stressful,' Amy, 34, confides. 'None of us was expecting Mum to have a heart attack – it turned our world upside down.' Amy, Billy, their two-year-old twins Billy and Milly, and Amy's children from previous relationships – Polly, nine, and Ritchie, eight – were enjoying a family holiday in Tenerife when Amy received the bombshell news. 'We got the awful phone call from my dad that Mum had a heart attack when we were out there, and we decided to fly home that same night. I was in shock. Mum was at home when it happened and suddenly got this excruciating pain in her chest. She was rushed to hospital in an ambulance and they said she'd had a severe heart attack. "It was so frightening. She had a stent put in and was in hospital for six days. She's now home but she's being monitored daily and is on a lot of medication. It's so tough for her – she sometimes struggles to walk upstairs." Amy went on to tell OK! that the hardest part for her is that it's difficult for her to spend as much time with her grandchildren because she needs to rest. It's heartbreaking. She was only 59 – it happened just before her 60th birthday. We cancelled all her birthday celebrations, but we're hoping to do something later in the year.' Although it's too early for doctors to give a full prognosis, Amy says, sadly, her mum is not 'out of the woods just yet' and is 'taking it day by day'. "We've all been worried sick. It's been horrendous and just shows you never know what's around the corner in life. My mum and I are inseparable, best friends. We call each other five times a day. She always jokes that she never cut the umbilical cord when it came to me, so it was just devastating.' Understandably, Amy and Billy have made the heartbreaking decision to postpone their big day, which was booked for September at the stunning Cliveden House Hotel in Berkshire. 'I'd already booked the florist, the entertainment, and I'd started looking at some gorgeous wedding dresses. But it all got too much, to be honest – so we decided to move it to next year,' Amy sighs. 'It's upsetting, but I know we've made the right decision. Right now, we're focused on looking after Mum. When we come back from filming TOWIE, we'll start thinking about getting another date booked in. We want to have the most beautiful day so it's worth waiting for.' Now, the couple, who are also in the middle of extensive house renovations, inside and out, are hoping to tie the knot next summer. As for where the wedding might be, Amy says they're now considering having the ceremony abroad. 'We'd love all the family to fly out somewhere, and have a white party the day after. The kids would all have a special role to play. Polly will love it, and Milly and Bill will be three by then. The kids will be that little bit older, which is lovely. It will be so special. We just want it to be amazing, not rushed. Yes, I'm upset that we've had to postpone it, but we've made the right decision.' So will the cast of TOWIE be out in force for their big day? Straight-talking Amy says yes – with two exceptions. 'But I'm not going to name names! Everyone else will be invited. We love our TOWIE family and we'll obviously have lots of friends and family there too.' Meanwhile, Amy is keen to address the recent speculation about her weight loss, and the vicious trolling she's suffered as a result of it. As Billy puts a supportive arm around his fiancée, she tells us her change in appearance is down to stress and worry. 'People don't know what is going on behind closed doors. I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack. People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. "To be honest I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress. We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids. But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge. 'It's so unfair – it shouldn't matter what size people are. Imagine if I was really happy and healthy this way? I've been open about losing too much, but I'm working towards putting some back on now.' Amy is also keen to address rumours that she has been using weight-loss injections. 'I just want to be clear that, as I've said before, I'm not using weight-loss injections. I did try the jab, but just once about 18 months ago. It made me so, so ill. I injected myself and literally a few hours later I threw up three, four times. I've never had sickness like it. The nausea stayed with me for three days. And it scared me so I stopped immediately. It doesn't agree with everybody and it obviously didn't agree with me at all.' Amy explains that she had gone to a private doctor with the hope of losing some weight. She had her weight and blood pressure checked during a 30-minute consultation before being prescribed the injections, which started at the lowest dose. 'Bill was like, 'I don't know if you really need to do it,' but he'd proposed to me and I felt like I wanted to look amazing for my wedding day and wanted to lose some baby weight after having the twins – although I do think it's important that women shouldn't feel under pressure to lose weight after having a baby. But after feeling ill I stopped straight away, so it's not the reason for my weight loss.' Amy then began a training and healthy eating routine in order to shape up naturally. She started working with Freya from Potentia, an online weight-loss coach based in Dubai. 'I decided, 'Right, I've got to do it the proper way now.' Freya gave me amazing recipe plans and workouts to follow, which I stuck to religiously. She got me in the gym four times a week, eating really clean. I had to be very boring for a good six months, but I felt amazing. It's only more recently that I've been losing weight due to stress, that it doesn't feel healthy.' Businessman Billy, who proposed to Amy in 2023 by dressing their twins in 'Mummy will you marry my Daddy?' sleepsuits, admits it's been heartbreaking watching her suffer. 'To see Amy sick with worry about her mum is hard. Added to that, family life's been really hectic, and it's all definitely affected Amy. But she's very thick-skinned; she does pick herself up quite quickly.' The couple are honest about how challenging it can be with four young children at home, with Billy admitting, 'We have our ups and downs, but we get over them quickly.' Amy says the twins are in the middle of the 'terrible twos ' and constantly fighting. 'It's tough,' she says. 'Bill and I bicker about the babies. But the bottom line is, we've got a great relationship and we make the time with the kids and also with each other.' But Amy – who tells us, laughing, that she normally does at least 8,000 steps a day fitting in her brand work and looking after her little ones, alongside park trips, playing padel and dance lessons – adds, 'It's all about keeping the spark alive, though, and Billy and I make sure we have a lovely date night a week. We cook together and dance in the kitchen together. He's the love of my life.' Billy says he's enjoying life in a blended family, even if it wasn't what he had envisaged. 'You want to find the perfect person who probably hasn't got children, and you create your own little family together. But meeting Amy and the kids… I love kids. I come from a big family and I found it so easy to get on with Polly and Rich. It always felt natural.' Would they consider having more children together? 'Definitely not!' laughs Billy. 'We have four beautiful kids. One more in the mix and we'd have to buy a minibus to ferry them about in.' Amy admits that she did consider having 'one more', but that's changed. 'We're looking forward to them getting older, having more relaxing holidays. It's not a proper holiday when you've got kids, especially twins – beautiful as they are.' She's even encouraging Billy to have a vasectomy. 'I've had the C-section, the natural births, it's Bill's turn now,' she tells us. Although he's not so sure. "As a man, it's one thing you never want taken away from you,' he says, adding, 'I also don't want the pain.' Meanwhile, they're optimistic about life getting a little calmer – even if they are about to launch themselves into a new series of TOWIE, the reality show that propelled Amy to fame back in 2010. But insisting she's not involved in any of the cat fights and scandal, Amy says, 'Bill and I are older, we're not involved in any drama. Filming with Harry especially, we have such a laugh. We just have fun filming with the babies. We're the solid family unit on the show really and I love that.'

Amy Childs admits struggles as she shares real reason behind weight loss
EXCLUSIVE: Amy Childs has been open about her weight loss journey in recent months, and now the reality star has revealed the real reason behind her staggering transformation Amy Childs is no stranger to comments about her weight loss, since the mum of four lost a staggering amount of weight in the last few months. Now, Amy is opening up about how she lost her weight after she was forced to cancel her wedding to fiance Billy Delbosq. The Only Way Is Essex star Amy, 34, announced her engagement to Billy in 2023 – weeks after the couple welcomed twins together. The couple then postponed their nuptials in October of the same year. She recently wowed fans with her latest Instagram offering as they declared she "looks like a different person". The reality star has made no secret of the fact that she has been on a gruelling weight loss journey in recent months, and it's clear that her hard work is paying off. Speaking exclusively to OK!, Amy addressed the recent speculation about her weight loss and the vicious trolling she's suffered as a result of it. 'People don't know what is going on behind closed doors,' Amy says emotionally. 'I'm going through so much at the minute that the weight has fallen off me. I worry about my mum constantly. She's very emotional – she thinks she's going to have another heart attack.' 'People think I'm not eating, but I do eat. To be honest, I do feel better when I'm a bit heavier than I am at the moment. There's so much going on at the minute – it's the result of pure stress. We're also having renovations done in the midst of parenting four kids.' 'But I'm strong, I've been in this industry for 15 years. I've had lots of people concerned about me, which I completely understand, but yes, people can be so quick to judge. 'It's so unfair – it shouldn't matter what size people are. Imagine if I was really happy and healthy this way?

But after feeling ill I stopped straight away, so it's not the reason for my weight loss.' The reality TV star, famed for her stint on The Only Way Is Essex (TOWIE), has graced our screens for 15 years. Despite regularly dazzling fans with her glamour on the telly, Amy openly confessed that she had lost touch with loving her figure and has suffered with self-confidence issues. Now a proud mum-of-four, Amy's journey through the last decade-and-a-half has been significant, and recently she had been refreshingly honest about her struggle with body image. Acknowledging her tendency to consume "complete rubbish", she noticed distinct changes in her physique. Amy then began a training and healthy eating routine in order to shape up naturally. She started working with Freya from Potentia, an online weight-loss coach based in Dubai. 'I decided, 'Right, I've got to do it the proper way now.' Freya gave me amazing recipe plans and workouts to follow, which I stuck to religiously. She got me in the gym four times a week, eating really clean. I had to be very boring for a good six months, but I felt amazing. It's only more recently that I've been losing weight due to stress that it doesn't feel healthy.' Amy, who waved goodbye to The Only Way Is Essex after two years on the show, made an epic return in 2020 and, since then, she has been delighting viewers with her on-screen charm.

Arabella captioned the moment: "Dreams do come true ... Baby Henty due May 2025. You already make our hearts full and we can't wait to meet you little one." Earlier this year, Arabella shared the delightful news that a baby girl was on the way. In a heartwarming video posted on 4th January, she treated fans to a sneak peek of her stunning apartment, beautifully decorated for the gender reveal with a vibrant blue and pink cake, a bunting, balloons, and adorable baby bottles on display. During the video, a special moment was captured when Arabella and her partner, Billy, whom she has been dating since March 2024, popped a pair of balloons which burst open releasing a rain of pink confetti.

She also expressed her views on age pressures when considering starting a family. "I think a lot of people have a lot of pressure on age and I am 33 going on 34 next month. But it was one of those things where I wasn't going to rush into it until I met the right person." She further mentioned her calm approach towards the future. "At the back of my mind, I thought, 'I do hope that I find that person.' But if it didn't happen, it didn't happen. But I'm so lucky that it happened by chance."
