Millie Mackintosh baffles fans as she shares throwback clips of herself kissing and canoodling with husband Hugo Taylor while married to Professor Green
Millie Mackintosh has left fans utterly baffled after sharing a range of throwback clips of herself and husband Hugo Taylor. The former Made In Chelsea stars first met two decades ago and dated in their early 20s, before breaking up. They rekindled their romance years later and married in 2018. But in the years Millie, 36, and Hugo, 39, were not together, she dated and later we d rapper Professor Green, whose real name is Stephen Paul Manderson. The pair were married from 2013 until 2016. Taking to Instagram over the weekend, Millie shared her take on a recent TikTok trend in which someone underestimates how long a couple have been together - before the poster declares 'Months?!' and shares a picture from every year they've been together. Millie's take on the trend saw her post a picture or video of her and Hugo every year from 2011 all the way to 2025. This confused fans as not only had Millie included the years when she was married to someone else, but her and Hugo looked extremely cosy during the footage from that time. In a picture from 2013, the year Millie married the rapper, she and Hugo were seen kissing on the lips, while in another from 2015 she could be seen sitting on his knee. In a picture from 2013, the year Millie married the rapper, she and Hugo were seen kissing on the lips, while in another from 2015 she could be seen sitting on his knee A video from 2014 also showed Millie and Hugo holding hands as they strolled down the street together. And a picture from the year Millie divorced Professor Green, 2016, her and Hugo cosied up for a selfie while on a sun-soaked holiday. She captioned the clip: 'I couldn't resist jumping on this trend! We met when I was 16, first in a relationship when I was 21, got back together when I was 26, married when I was 29, had Sienna when I was 30 and Aurelia 18 months later. 'Now we have been married 7 years! How time flies!' Fans were quick to comment on how Millie had included the years she was with Professor Green - and branded it 'wild' how she was seen kissing Hugo. They commented: 'But what about being married to someone else in that time..?'; 'Love your love. But this is wild posting pictures kissing, holding hands and sitting on the lap of another man during your marriage to someone else Millie lol,'; 'But why does she have pics sitting on his lap and holding his hand During the years she was married to someone else,'; A video from 2014 also showed Millie and Hugo holding hands as they strolled down the street together She captioned the clip: 'I couldn't resist jumping on this trend! We met when I was 16, first in a relationship when I was 21' 'This is cute but am I missing something? Wasn't she married to professor Green during some of this?'; 'Yes from 2013-2016... so the kissing /hand holding in those photos is wild,'; 'How's that possible when you were married to someone else during the early year,'; 'So we pretending she didn't have a whole marriage inbetween all these years?'; 'Ahem married to pro Green between 2013 and 2016.' It comes after Millie enjoyed a sun-soaked family holiday with Hugo and their daughters Sienna, five, and Aurelia, three. Millie took to Instagram last week to share a look at the reality of holidaying as a family. She shared a candid snap of herself sitting down in a skimpy red patterned bikini, as she opened up about 'extra skin' after giving birth. 'The girls love to grab my tummy and the stretched skin,' she captioned the picture. 'I remind them that my tummy grew them and it still remembers having them inside.' Elsewhere Millie was seen enjoying a day on the beach with her daughters as she displayed her incredible figure in another vibrant two-piece. Fans were quick to comment on how Millie had included the years she was with Professor Green - and branded it 'wild' how she was seen kissing Hugo She captioned the post: 'Holiday realities. Feeling rested after a special week with the girls and Hugo, but wanted to share some of the realities that you might not always see…I'm sure lots of you can relate.' Millie opened up about how she found a balance between parenting and finding time for herself during the trip. 'Prioritising my mental health meant getting up early before the kids woke up to do a meditation and workout,' she wrote over her beach snap. Meanwhile she also shared a picture of husband Hugo and her youngest daughter Aurelia sat at dinner. She wrote: 'We started the week away with no iPads at in order to have an actual adult conversation we did end up using them!'

Olly Murs, Pro Green and Cat Burns lead star-studded line-up as they perform at stunning Bolesworth Castle in Chester
OLLY Murs, Professor Green and Cat Burns lead a star-studded line-up as they performed at Together Again Festival in Chester. The Dance With Me Tonight singer got festival-goers on their feet within minutes of taking to the stage with a string of hits. 15 15 15 15 15 Last Friday, former X Factor star Olly, 41 headlined at the stunning grounds of Bolesworth Castle, performing his chart-topping singles. Olly kicked off with his 2012 hit Troublemaker, before belting out Right Place The Right Time and Please Don't Let Me Go to a packed out crowd. The musician then took a trip down memory lane and told fans: "Ladies and gentleman, I'm taking you guys all the way back, right to the beginning, put your hands up." Olly brought the energy with his cheeky-chappy charisma as he sang his catchy 2010 track Thinking of Me, with the star rocking the stage with his slick moves and turning the crowd into a full-on singalong. The atmosphere was buzzing with festival-goers of all ages attending this four-day music event, with even Wayne Rooney's wife Coleen and her family enjoying the weekend. This is the first year this new festival was held at Bolesworth Castle, a Grade II listed building. The views alone are worth the visit, with plenty of rural beauty to admire while rocking out to the music and enjoying a bite to eat. UB40 also took to the main stage earlier that day and it wouldn't be a UB40 performance without them singing their arguably best know hit Red Red Wine, which got the festival-goers singing along. Another standout star from the line-up was rapper Professor Green, who performed a set on Sunday. There may have been some rain and grey skies but that didn't dampen spirits in the slightest. The Lullaby hitmaker looked thrilled to be performing in front of such a lively crowd as opened with hit tune Bad Decisions. He was full of enthusiasm as he performed Remedy, Monster and Read All About It while bouncing around the stage. British singer songwriter Cat Burns also smashed it out of the park with her stunning vocals. She commanded the stage as she performed her huge track Go while the crowds were left captivated by her voice. There was plenty more artists taking to the stage across the weekend - with noughties favourites Scouting for Girls, Britain's Got Talent's Diversity, X Factor double act Jedward, international DJ Nathan Dawe, Artful Dodger and Ocean Colour Scene. Nineties icon Gabrielle brought the sunshine with her during her set, with classics like Out of Reach, Sunshine, Dreams and Rise. The mums, dads, grandparents and kids were up on their feet for this one. There really was something for everyone. The music is not the only thing that this festival has to offer. We headed to the Wonky Lizard tent for some late night comedy and spent some of the afternoon channelling my inner Nicole Kidman in a special Moulin Rouge Cabaret show. The variety of entertainment available will keep you busy all day. There was also bingo, a Greatest Showman circus - with firebreathers, hula hoopers and a family quiz, while tribute band Oasish paid homage to rockers Oasis in the tent, amid Noel and Liam Gallagher's comeback tour. There was a whole dedicated section to keep the kids busy, with a full fun fair, rides, a silent disco and even a Bluey, Peppa Pig and Bing meet and greet. The little ones were also able to enjoy some downtime in front of the a big screen playing children's films throughout the day. If you fancy taking some time out, many headed to the Retreat zone which ran from the morning to mid afternoon, offering Thai massage workshops, south baths and yoga which will leave you feeling zen. The weather did pick up and those who wanted to get an dose of Ibiza headed to O beach, a premium pop up space with everything synonymous with O Beach including iconic round pool beds. There was even hot tubs and a dance floor with dancers putting on a immersive shows throughout the day. The quality of food vendors at the festival made the experience even better knowing we could grab some delicious food and drink without having to leave the venue. We tucked into some piping hot jacket potatoes, freshly made pizzas, and mac and cheese with loaded fries and chicken. And if you thought you'd be waiting hours for some nosh, then you'd be pleasantly surprised to know that queues were quick and efficient. Five reasons to visit Together Again Festival The music has something for everyone, if you want your cheesy pop tunes, your more electric beats, some chilled out country vibes or some throwback beats, then you'll love this. The food is reasonably priced and has a variety - from Greek food, to noodles or Italian, there is something delicious that will keep you full and happy The venue and location is breathtaking and when your attention is not on the stage, then it will be on the gorgeous scenery and the Bolesworth Castle in the backdrop Perfect for all ages whether you're a toddler or over 80. The organisers have really catered for everyone. If you fancy taking some time out you can head to the Retreat zone or if you want a mini rave then Agora tent is for you. There was also baby sensory class, science fun and circus school for the little ones. Chester perfect place to explore if you've got a few hours spare between acts. Cheshire Zoo is around a 25mins drive from Bolseworth Castle and has over 37,000 animals from over 500 incredible species. The city centre also has an array of food spots, stunning architecture and Chester Cathedral is a must visit, with plenty of history. Party-goers who wanted to get up on stage themselves headed to the Wonky Lizard for a bit of Barrioke, while you could rave from morning to night with electric dance music in the Agora tent. And those who wanted to throw things back to the 90s, boogied on down to the Rewind stage, where So Solid Crew, Ultrabeat, Sonique, East 17, Phats and Small and Soul Town performed some bangers. But my favourite had to be the Ranch stage. If you're a Taylor Swift fan and love your country music, this is the perfect little spot where you can don your cowboy boots and straw hat while chilling out on haystacks and sipping on a cold beverage. Singers Emilia Quinn, Fanny Lumsden and Shellyann were exceptional as they belted out smooth tunes and well known tracks. While the Whiskey Brothers performed some incredible covers and finished with an impressive medley - even dropping hits from Eminem and 50 cent into their round-up. Who knew I was a country girl at heart! Together Again Festival returns to Bolesworth Castle on the 24-26 July 2026. You can find out more here. 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15 15

British rapper reveals emotional reason he pulled out of gig with minutes to go
Fans of Professor Green were gutted after the rapper proved to be a no-show at Chester 7's concert last weekend. Now, several days later, he has offered an emotional explanation. Last Saturday, the British chart-topper, who rose to fame in the early 2010s, was due to take to the stage at Winnington Rugby Club, Northwich, Cheshire, as the headline act. The crowd eagerly awaited his arrival ahead of his 9pm slot but was disappointed to be informed of a last-minute switch-up. With just minutes to go, the organiser received a message while standing outside waiting for him – right on 9 o'clock – that he was unwell and unable to perform. The 41-year-old Read All About It hitmaker's absence was later detailed by Chester 7 in a social media statement. At 10pm, they wrote: 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, Professor Green is unable to perform at Chester 7s tonight. 'Whilst circumstances such as these are outside of our control, we apologise to all our amazing players. 'Officials and guests, and thank you for making Chester 7s 2025 an amazing experience for everyone.' Fortunately, the night wasn't short on good vibes, as English former rugby union player James Haskell did turn up to deliver a two-hour DJ slot beforehand. The 40-year-old athlete and I'm A Celeb star plays house music and produces his own tunes, having taken his sets all over the world to the likes of London, Dubai, and Ibiza. As for Professor Green, whose real name is Stephen Manderson, he has now commented publicly on pulling out of the gig with just moments to spare.

'I'm reaching out to work out how I can make up for my no-show Saturday. Whatever it takes. 'This doesn't rest with booker or organisers – I crumbled after three performances and two back to back 21hr days doing all the driving etc myself. 'My head became a very difficult place to be. 'I made it to Chester but not to the stage – I hope I get the chance to make this up to you, if you'll let me. PG x' His emotional confession comes after many felt a sour taste in their mouths after his absence, admitting they felt let down. Taking to the comments section of his most recent post after the gig, @nicola.b_86 wrote: 'What happened last night?!? You were booked to headline a festival and then just didn't show up? Organisers said at the end of the night you hadn't communicated this to them and just did a no show?' 'Why did you not come to Chester7s?', @tors56 demanded to know. Also making their feeling crystal clear, @kayleigh_x87 commented underneath the announcement: '@professorgreen you massive let down!! 👎 not impressed 😤' Pro Green has spoken openly about his mental health on numerous occasions, something fans have praised him for doing in the past. Last year, he told the BBC: 'If you have a physical injury, it's your brain that gets you through it—you need mental strength. 'I don't know why there is a division between physical and mental health; it should just be health—they are intrinsically linked.' He also previously fronted a documentary titled Suicide and Me, with his dad taking his own life when the rapper was 24. Additionally, last year, he started taking antidepressants for the first time, having been reluctant at first, also due to the 'stigma' around mental illness. Pro Green's cancelled gig came just a day after he performed at Glastonbury Festival 2025. The Just Be Good to Green musician was brought out as a surprise guest by Native James during his set on the BBC Introducing stage. Following some of his own hits, he introduced Green for a cameo, the UK hip hop veteran popping up for the duo's recent collab, Block. In fact, it is Green's Worthy Farm appearance that made fans suspicious, as @bexwidd commented on Insta after his absence from Chester 7 was confirmed: 'He stayed at Glastonbury! Very poor @professorgreen'. Agreeing, @splash_vw blasted him as 'pathetic', praising Haskell for still showing up despite the recent death of his father. The Glasto set still went down a treat regardless, as fans were keen to comment on how 'iconic' the moment was. 'I am so glad I was there to witness this', @vpulverise wrote on Instagram. Green himself commented: 'gassssssssssed ain't the word everyone go stream BLOCK NOWWWWWW … full circle moment – thank you @bbcintroducing and thank you @nativejamesuk@ and gang 🔥' More Trending No stranger to Glasto, having performed there several times before, Green hinted that he'll be returning in 2027 after the festival's fallow year.
