Lou Teasdale and Andy Carroll put on loved-up display amid 'engagement' rumours
Footballer Andy Carroll and his girlfriend Lou Teasdale are currently enjoying a sun-soaked getaway to Ibiza - and they look more loved-up than ever in their latest snap Andy Carroll and his girlfriend Lou Teasdale appeared utterly loved-up in a recent photo from their Ibiza holiday. The 36 year old footballer and the 41 year old makeup artist demonstrated their strong bond as they held hands by the beach. Lou caught attention in a small halter-neck bikini with a distinctive brown and blue fossil print, showcasing her stunning figure. Andy, on the other hand, looked fashionable in bold leopard-print swimming shorts and a beige abstract shirt. This comes amidst speculation that Andy is planning to propose to former One Direction hair stylist Lou once his divorce from ex-The Only Way Is Essex star Billi Mucklow is finalised. The former Liverpool striker and his TOWIE star ex, Billi, announced their split last September after quietly separating earlier in the year, ending an 11-year relationship. Andy and Billi share three children - Arlo, Wolf, and Marvel Mae - and she also looks after his two children, Emilie Rose, 15, and Lucas, 14, from a previous relationship. In 2022, Andy's wedding to Billi was nearly cancelled when he was photographed drunkenly passed out in bed with two women in Dubai during his stag do. Billi forgave him after one of the women insisted that nothing sexual happened. The reality star only forgave the footballer after Taylor Jane Wilkey, who was one of the women in the bed, insisted that nothing had happened and that Andy had acted very gentlemanly towards them. She apologised for the photos and insisted the two never had sex. Less than two years after saying 'I do', Andy and his wife have called it quits, with Andy confirming the couple are in the midst of divorce proceedings following 'a hard few months for our family'. In a candid statement, Andy revealed: "Billi and I have privately separated earlier this year and we are underway with our divorce proceedings." Despite whispers that Billi was caught off guard by the split, her mates have spoken out and claimed she had an inkling Andy was seeing someone else, though she couldn't put a name to the face. Not long after, Andy stepped out with new flame Lou, making their romance public at a Halloween bash dressed as pop icon Taylor Swift and NFL star Travis Kelce. Andy made things Instagram official with Lou, posting a loved-up photo captioned: "Happy people happy places." This followed Lou's own festive photo dump, featuring the pair enjoying the Christmas season, including a romantic snap from Winter Wonderland. Andy didn't hold back on throwing shade at Billi as he opened up about his fresh start with Lou. In a heartfelt interview with The Times, Andy couldn't help but sing Lou's praises: "I've seen a different world since I've been with Lou, This Christmas, like she does every Christmas, she will go with her daughter to look after the isolated elderly. She's a volunteer for Choose Love and a campaigner for LGBTQ+. She says to me, 'Why would you hate anyone?' That's someone I need in my life." A source told The Sun: "Andy is very close to proposing to Lou - they are madly in love. She is spending as much time as she can with him in France and Andy has never been happier. He's been telling friends his divorce can't come quick enough. Lou is exactly what he needs because she is a calming influence on him and it's noticeable the change she's had on him to everyone around them.'

One fan quickly warned: " You're just giving home intruders maps of your home, why?? You have children yes, you have a lush house, yes. Keep your family home private please, I don't want anything horrible to happen to your beautiful family.' While some were more confused about the decor which made it feel like a showroom.

Ella Rae Wise 'glad' sto see the back of Mickey Rourke
Ella Rae Wise had said she is "glad" she will never again have to encounter her former Celebrity Big Brother housemate Mickey Rourke. The 24-year-old Only Way Is Essex star, who was evicted from the house on Tuesday, was upset by Rourke after he used sexually suggestive language that made her feel uncomfortable. Bafta-winning actor Rourke, 72, known for his roles in The Wrestler and Sin City, was kicked out of the house after further "use of inappropriate language" and "instances of unacceptable behaviour", including using "sexual language" in conversation with Wise. "I just didn't appreciate it, and that's all it was", Wise told ITV's Lorraine. "And I feel that, for me, I just had distance from Mickey, and that was okay, and at the end of the day, it's just one of them things. "I didn't appreciate what he said, and that's what it is, and that's how it's got to be. And I'm just glad that I've never got to see him again." Asked if the other housemates feel the same, she said: "I think a few of us do feel like that way, yeah." She added: "It was a difficult situation to be in, but I feel like I handled myself really well. And just let it be whatever it is, and just kept my distance." Discussing how it has been since leaving the house, Wise said: "It's been good. It's been nice to get back to reality, see friends and see family. It's been nice to be home." She continued: "For me, I am so close to my parents and so close to my friends and being out of source with the outside world, it was a hell of a lot – so that was really overwhelming for me. "And obviously, living with people, I have never lived with that many people before at all in my life so that took a lot for me to get my head around… I'm quite an emotional person so to be vulnerable in situations like that, I sort of thought 'am I crying too much?' but I was just being me." "I didn't expect it to be as hard as what it was", she added. After Rourke's comments to Wise on the show she told Big Brother in the diary room: "(It) just makes me feel on edge. I don't like the jokes, like the sexual jokes being made towards me. I'm a young girl and I'm not a piece of meat." When Big Brother informed Rourke he had used "inappropriate" language he apologised and said: "I stepped over the line. And I take responsibility for doing the wrong thing. Because I lost my temper, and I've been trying to work on it my whole life and I wish I would have had better self-control and I'm very sorry." Rourke had caused upset in the house from the start and made former Dance Moms star JoJo Siwa cry after making comments about her sexuality. He also became aggressive towards Love Island star Chris Hughes and told him to not "f****** eyeball" him during a pirate-themed shopping task. This year's Celebrity Big Brother finalists have been revealed to be Siwa, RuPaul's Drag Race UK winner Danny Beard, singer Chesney Hawkes, reality TV star Hughes, and comedian Donna Preston.

Since becoming a child star on TV show Dance Moms in 2014, JoJo Siwa has forged a career as a multifaceted cultural force, releasing music, acting in Nickelodeon TV shows and films, and setting a trend for inescapable oversized hair bows. Delighting in her rainbow-coloured and sometimes provocative persona, she claimed last year to have invented "gay pop".
