Jade Thirlwall puts on a loved-up display with her boyfriend Jordan Stephens as Lola Young sweeps the Rising Star award at The Ivors
Jade Thirlwall put on a loved-up display with her boyfriend Jordan Stephens as they lead the stars at the prestigious Ivor Novello Awards. The awards ceremony took place in London on Thursday as it celebrated its milestone 70th year. Jade was in attendance after landing her first nomination as a solo artist for her debut single Angel of My Dreams in the Best Contemporary Song category, but the gong was eventually won by Sans Soucis for her track Circumnavigating Georgia. The former Little Mix star looked typically stylish as she arrived in a grey and red oversized pinstripe suit, with her Rizzle Kicks beau planting a kiss on her forehead as they took to the red carpet. Meanwhile Messy hitmaker Lola Young was one of the night's big winners as she took home the Rising Star award for the viral track. Lola effortlessly pulled off casual chic as she arrived in a grey marl zip-up jumpsuit which cinched her in at the waist thanks to a corset design, and sported a pair of silver stiletto flats.

After winning the BRIT Award in the Best Album category last month for the incredibly successful BRAT, Charli XCX lost out on the gong in the same category at The Ivors to Trinidadian rapper BERWYN's album WHO AM I. However Charli did come out with an award as she received the Songwriter of the Year gong. Meanwhile Robbie Williams was also honoured at Thursday's ceremony as he was presented with the coveted Icon Award. Among the stars who made an appearance at the ceremony were Nia Smith, Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem, and radio legend Edith Bowman. In her first year of recognition by The Ivors Academy, breakout star Lola lead the pack with a whopping three nominations. Alongside her nod for the Rising Star prize, Lola was also nominated in the Best Album and Best Song Musically and Lyrically categories for her viral No. 1 track, Messy. Meanwhile, RAYE was also seeking to continue her incredible winning streak after scoring two nominations this year. She was previously nominated for two Ivors in 2022, won the Contemporary Song award in 2023 for her viral hit Escapism and was honoured with the highly-regarded Songwriter of the Year at last year's ceremony. This year saw her competing against Lola for Best Song Musically and Lyrically for her 2024 single Genesis, alongside Child of Mine by Laura Marling, Fontaines D.C.'s In the Modern World and Orla Gartland with Mine.

She was up against fierce competition from Dua's Houdini, Stargazing by Myles Smith, and Harry Styles' hit As It Was, which has been in contention for the gong three years in a row, previously winning in 2023. But it was BRIT Awards Rising Star Myles Smith who took home the award on Thursday for his tracks Stargazing with Peter Fenn and Jesse Fink. The late George Michael was also posthumously nominated in the category, with Wham!'s beloved and staple festive hit, Last Christmas - four decades after it was released. Along with RAYE, Ghetts and Conor Dickinson, who each received two nominations, with Ghetts also competing for Best Contemporary Song with hit track Double Standards (feat. Sampha).

Lorraine viewers annoyed by 'more irritating than normal' interview
Lorraine viewers shared their annoyance during an interview on the ITV show on Wednesday, just a day after huge cuts were announced at the broadcaster. Lorraine Kelly, 65, had one half of Rizzle Kicks, Jordan Stephens, in the hot seat, as he promotes a new children's book. However, TV viewers at home were distracted by Lorraine's approach to the interview and took to X to voice their frustration. They noted the veteran broadcaster was interrupting her guest, with @MCIJ13 brutally writing: 'She's more irritating than normal today; interrupting etc.' @briggs_han31838 added: 'This woman is just APPALLING at interviewing! How on earth do her colleagues refer to her as a 'national treasure', I will never know,' as @dlmstorys chimed: 'Let him speak FFS !!!!' Lorraine only just returned to work this week after undergoing surgery to have her fallopian tubes and ovaries removed as a preventative measure. The Glasgow-born presenter had shared selfies from her hospital bed with fans, assuring them that the procedure had gone well. However, this week she was dealt a serious professional blow when ITV announced they will be slicing her programme's runtime in half and only airing it on a seasonal basis. The show, which typically runs on weekdays from 9am-10am will now run from 9.30am to 10am, for 30 weeks of the year, rather than throughout the year. It was announced that these major changes will come into effect from January 2026. It was added that Good Morning Britain (GMB) will now run from 6am to 9:30am, filling the half-hour slot originally held by Lorraine. More Trending GMB, with an additional half hour added to the scheduled, will now have a wider scope of coverage alongside its typical mix of interviews, news, and debates. The show will now reportedly include more 'regional news, agenda-setting investigations, exclusives, and analysis of the biggest stories of the day.' When Lorraine is off air, GMB will fill the slot entirely and run from 6am to 10am. Lorraine airs weekdays at 9am on ITV, for now. Got a story?

Lorraine viewers fume 'she's appalling at interviewing!' as Kelly 'keeps interrupting' guest in 'more irritating than normal' chat
Lorraine viewers shared their frustration as they watched presenter Lorraine Kelly interview Jordan Stephens on Thursday's instalment of the ITV show. The 33 year old appeared on the programme to chat to the Scottish host about his new children's novel See For Yourself. Jordan - who is one half of hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks with Harley Alexander-Sule - released the book today (Thursday 22 May) after joining forces with illustrator Beth Suzanna. But while some were watching the show at home, they took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to say the same thing - that Lorraine was interrupting her guest while he was speaking. One brutally said: 'She's more irritating than normal today; interrupting etc #Lorraine.' 'This woman is just APPALLING at interviewing! How on earth do her colleagues refer to her as a 'national treasure' I will never know. #lorraine @lorraine.' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new Showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'Let him speak FFS!!!!' During the chat Lorraine confessed that she loves his second book and asked: 'It's about the ocean specifically isn't it?' Jordan explained: 'The idea came from, what we mentioned in the break, as a species I find we're fascinated with up and out. 'We've studied space, we have all these incredible discoveries outside of the earth. But appears as if we haven't been to the bottom of the ocean...' Lorraine said: 'Not as much. There is vast areas of the ocean that we don't actually know that much about... Finding new species all the time. Jordan replied: 'Right!' Lorraine continued: 'So your wee hero, he goes?' Jordan explains: 'Harry Arlo, it follows this boy who, he comes from a family of pilots, and he wants to be the first in his family to go down, rather than up, because he believes that is where the beauty lies. 'So he goes on a journey, on a mission. 'And also, this is just because I went snorkeling one time as well, a few year ago, and I could not believe what I was seeing under these. It blew my mind! 'There's probably thousands of kids books that explore the ocean because of how many incredible colours and shapes, the lower you go, the weirder it gets. I love it!' The singer went on to explained: 'The Missing Piece, our first book, we chose Sunny to be a black girl, we weren't bothered about the gender to be honest. 'The story was the story, well make Sunny a girl. 'When we were speaking to the libraries we were working with, that there weren't books about boys, well certainly black boys. not that it matters. 'We're in the world of children, that's the beauty of being a kid. It doesn't matter.' Conversation soon turned to his relationship with Little Mix star Jade Thirlwall, 32. The pair have been going strength to strength since May 2020. Lorraine said: 'It's a lovely relationship that you've got. And it just works, doesn't it? You know each other so well. You're from the same sort of, music, because music is a crazy world, right? Jordan said: 'Yes music is.' Lorraine added: 'She's got you doing music again hasn't she?' 'Jade was a big part in encouraging us to do more Rizzle Kicks. She genuinely loves our music. It's really sweet,' Jordan said. 'She's got her Rizzle Kicks merch. Bought the vinyl. She's on the album too.' Rizzle Kicks formed in 2008, but decided to go their separate ways in 2016. The pair reunited in 2024. Some of their best songs include Skip to the Good Bit, Mama Do The Hump, Lost Generation, When I Was A Youngster, Tell Her and Miss Cigarette.
