Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Podcaster Vogue Williams has opened up about a wedding day regret, wishing things had been "different" after marrying Made in Chelsea's Spencer Matthews in 2018. As the celeb couple gears up to mark their seven year wedding anniversary, they've had a fast-paced romance, having got engaged, married, and welcomed their first child, all within 12 months. First crossing paths while filming Channel 4's The Jump, Vogue and Spencer have since had three children, Theodore, Gigi, and Otto. During a heartfelt natter on their podcast, with sister Amber by her side, Vogue mused over their nuptials and admitted she would wear a different dress if she were to do it all again: "When I think about getting married now I'm like, God, I would wear something completely different." Meanwhile, she also reminisced about recently attending a friend's wedding in Scotland and shared how she and Spencer had originally earmarked it as the location for their special day. (Image: undefined via Getty Images) She shared: "We were at a wedding at the weekend and it was the most magnificent wedding and it was where Spenny and I were meant to get married. But, when we got married in Scotland in his parent's place in a registry office, as I've said before, we just never got married again because it was such a nice wedding." Spencer Matthews and Vogue Williams said 'I do' amidst the stunning backdrop of Spencer's family's massive 10,000-acre Glen Affric Estate in the Scottish Highlands, with a host of famous faces in attendance, including Spencer's Made in Chelsea pal Jamie Laing. (Image: undefined via Getty Images) Away from sharing details of her wedding, she is set appear alongside ex-Love Island star Luke Mabbott on Channel 4's Renovation Rescue, taking over from Stacey Solomon. Vogue expressed her thrill about the new gig to Channel 4, saying: "I've done a lot of exciting projects in my career, but I am so delighted to be given the opportunity to roll up my sleeves and get stuck into the second series of this truly brilliant show." (Image: undefined via Getty Images) On top of that, the busy mum-of-three has been promoting her freshly launched memoir, Big Mouth, which hit the shelves last month.

Strictly's Tasha Ghouri says 'future looks bright' as she shares career update
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Strictly Come Dancing's Tasha Ghouri has hinted at her plans for the future as she embarks on a new career path. The former Love Island star had a whirlwind few months, making it to the Strictly final last December, only to be narrowly beaten to the top spot in the final by stand-up comedian Chris McCausland and his dance partner, Dianne Buswell. After shooting to fame in Love Island in 2022, she walked away from the show finishing in fourth place alongside Andrew Le Page. But, much to the shock of their social media followers, it was revealed earlier this year that the reality TV stars had brought their relationship to an end. (Image: undefined via Getty Images) Despite the recent upheavals, Tasha is optimistic about the future and eager to challenge herself. Speaking to the Mirror, she said: "I don't really know, the future looks bright. I want to do more presenting and documentaries." She continued: "That's the path I want to go down. I've done quite a few TV appearances that are coming out soon but I think I kind of want to push myself and challenge myself this year." (Image: undefined via Getty Images) Away from television, the 26-year-old has been dedicating her time to charity work, supporting organisations such as NDCS (National Deaf Children's Society), RNID (Royal National Institute for Deaf People), and Deaf Kidz International. These charities hold special significance for Tasha, who was diagnosed as deaf shortly after birth. Shortly before her fifth birthday, the Strictly star received a cochlear implant to help with hearing by stimulating the auditory nerve electrically. (Image: undefined via Getty Images) The ex-Love Island contestant has recently shown her support for a partnership between Disney and the Make A Wish foundation. As the celebrity ambassador, she was present during their enchanting Disney Wish event at Hoar Cross Hall in Staffordshire. During this three-day event, children with serious illnesses were given the chance to interact with beloved characters alongside Tasha who was there to greet the youngsters and their families. Reflecting on the experience with the kids, Tasha expressed it "was such a beautiful, magical day, that I look back on and feel grateful to be part of".

JoJo Siwa denies Chris Hughes is her 'boyfriend' in awkward Lorraine interview
Jojo Siwa and Chris Hughes have been at the centre of romance rumours since they appeared on Celebrity Big Brother earlier this year. Jojo Siwa has quashed rumours that her former Celebrity Big Brother co-star Chris Hughes is her "boyfriend", despite the duo being seen sharing a kiss in a pool. The Dance Moms star, previously linked to Kath Ebbs before their split at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party, struck up a close relationship with ex-Love Island contestant Chris Hughes during their time on the show. Their camaraderie raised eyebrows among fans and fellow contestants alike, and speculation hasn't waned since they left the iconic house. While neither celebrity has publicly acknowledged a romantic link, they were caught locking lips in a pool in Mexico. On Lorraine, hosted by Andi Peters, Jojo refuted claims of a romance with Chris. Jojo couldn't help but laugh as she firmly responded "No!" and emphatically shook her head. "No?" Andi pressed, turning to the camera with an awkward glance. "It's so funny to me how straight up people get nowadays", she retorted. Andi, in jest, replied: "Oh no, that's just me. You've never heard of me before, have you? Let's be honest. "OK, your 'boy' 'friend', your friend who's a boy, who came from reality-" he began again. Jojo then cut in: "You haven't even said who you're speaking about yet but I think I can assume." "Oh sorry, Chris Hughes," Andi clarified, adding, "Who we all know, because we watch Love Island and he was quite loved in Love Island as well. "And I don't know if you ever watched Love Island but they have a thing where you've got to decide if you're going to go exclusive or not. Has he -" Jojo chuckled heartily as he told his guest: "Stop laughing!" He then painted a picture of a Love Island scenario where the stars would "go into the kitchen" and discuss making their relationship "exclusive". Inquiring if she and Chris have had this conversation, she vaguely explains: "Chris and I have had a lot of chats -" "But he's not done that one?" Andi questions. "We have never gone into the kitchen and gone 'my head's not turning in any way'. "We've never had that version of a chat," she affirmed. Andi sighed as he commented that Chris was "letting us down", but she quickly interjected to defend him. "Chris is doing the furthest thing besides letting us down. He couldn't let me down even if he tried. He couldn't let anybody down, he's the best man," she asserted. She then shared that he surprised her by flying out to Orlando to be with Jojo and her family for the dancer and singer's 22nd birthday. It has also been reported that he is set to join the star on her US summer tour but as of yet, the pair are not officially confirming their romance.

Sam Thompson 'realised his worth' after Zara McDermott split, says Pete Wicks
Pete Wicks opens up about best pal Sam Thompson amid a turbulent time for them both when it comes to relationships - and reveals Sam's doing 'great' as he lifts lid on their bromance Gushing compliments from Pete Wicks aren't a common occurrence – but when it comes to bestie Sam Thompson, he's breaking his own rules. The former TOWIE and Made In Chelsea stars have forged a solid bond over the past six years. In this exclusive chat, Pete – who split from Maura Higgins in February, but has been recently linked to another ex-Love Island star, Samantha Kenny – delivers a love letter to his Staying Relevant podcast co-host (and other celeb pals), as the 37-year-old tells us what friendship for him is all about. Pete, is it hard in your industry to have genuine relationships? It's hard to have strong, lasting relationships, regardless of what you do. But we have added pressure because everyone can comment on everything you do. My nan once said, 'If you can get to the end of your life and can count on one hand five people that you trust and count as good friends, you've done well.' And Sam's one of those five? Sam's my little finger! He's unapologetically himself. People think the dynamic stops once the cameras are off but no, he still rings me 15 times a day to chat. It's nice to share this mad journey with someone I love. He'll have a heart attack when he finds out I've said that. Toxic masculinity and male role models are hot topics. Are you both positive role models? We never planned to be the poster boys for a bromance. We just love each other, and we're always there for each other. Maybe men haven't explored friendships further, because they generally find it difficult to talk. But it's not always easy. Sam's an emotional person. He likes to talk. I don't – but he's made me feel comfortable enough to, by being a safe space. What about your friendships with women? I grew up with two really strong women, my mum and my nan, so I've always felt comfortable around women. The idea that men and women can't be friends is b******s. I count Vicky Pattison and Olivia Attwood as two really close friends. I adore the bones of those girls. Tell us about your new Twix campaign – you're Sam and Pete Twix now?! It's about sharing and friendship, and it's great for Sam and I because there'd be no point doing the amazing things we do if we didn't have someone to share them with. You've both had some big relationship ups and downs to deal with this year... Nicely put! Yes, we've both had so much going on. Sam had a 'different' start to the year [Sam split from Zara McDermott in January]. Part of being someone's friend is being there no matter what – to say, 'Things are always going to get better,' and they have. How is he at the moment? He's great. Sometimes it's about allowing people to work on themselves, realise their worth. I hope I've helped him do that, because he's amazing, and he deserves the best. Your For Dogs' Sake show's commissioned for two more seasons and a Christmas special. You're like the new Paul O'Grady! I don't feel like the new Paul O'Grady – he was an idol of mine and I don't think anyone will be able to replace him. But this is a passion project for me. Being around animals is the only time I feel truly content. But it's about the dogs, and the incredible work of the Dogs Trust. They say heroes don't wear capes, and it's true. We have to ask you about your new haircut… It was an impulse decision. I've had my hair the same way for a long time. I was nervous, but the receding hairline is coming and the greys are sneaking in, so maybe I can mask that with a shorter cut. Sam's had a glow-up too… He looks incredible. I've gone the other way. I'm getting old, grey and decrepit!
