Claire Sweeney reunites with pal Jessie Wallace at DJ Fat Tony's wedding as they celebrate 23 years of friendship with sweet throwback
shared a sweet throwback snap with pal Jessie Wallace as she celebrated 23 years of friendship after reuniting at a star-studded wedding over the weekend. The Coronation Street star, 54, took to Instagram with before-and-after pictures of the beaming pair over two decades apart. In the first picture Claire and fellow soap star Jessie, 53, wore black outfits while attending Liza Minelli's birthday party back in 2003. The second shot was taken on Saturday, capturing the duo in glamorous looks while attending the star-studded wedding of DJ Fat Tony and fiancé Stavros Agapiou. Sharing a heartfelt tribute to her long-time friend, Claire wrote: 'These pics are taken 23 years apart.

'The first pic at Liza Minelli's birthday party 2003, second one last night at @dj_fattony_ @stavrosagapiou wedding. 'We always laugh so much when we get together, love you loads @jessicawallace_official older, wiser, and more sparkly ❤️.' Tony, 58, and Stavros, 32, have been engaged since October 2023 and walked down the aisle in a lavish London ceremony this weekend. Kate Moss and Gemma Collins reportedly acted as bridesmaids while A-listers including Boy George, Davina McCall, David and Victoria Beckham, and Kylie Minogue were also slated to attend. As the festivities got underway, Claire took to Instagram to share some very glamorous photographs from her hotel room. Claire - who was also thought to be serving as a bridesmaid - was joined by her son Jaxon, 13, who she shares with her ex Daniel Reilly, and Boy George while getting ready. For the occasion, Claire cut a glamorous figure in a plunging silver sequinned gown embellished with floral patterns and waterfall feathered sleeves. She let her outfit do all the talking as she accessorised with a crucifix pendant and styled her golden tresses poker straight. Claire was every inch the proud mother as she stood beside her son Jaxon, who wore a black tuxedo and a red bowtie. They were both joined by singer Boy George, 63, who has long been a very close friend of groom DJ Tony's. Boy George showed off his signature style in a patterned shirt and a black blazer and trousers, which he styled with dark trainers. The Karma Chameleon hitmaker, who Tony asked to be his best man, completed his look with a signature blue hat and dramatic smokey eyeshadow. Earlier in the day, Claire also posted a video of herself of her and Jaxon heading to the wedding in a taxi. She panned around to show the sights of London before giving a glimpse at Jaxon sitting suited and booted beside her. 'We are on the way to DJ Fat Tony's wedding, you're looking lovely Jaxon,' Claire said. Just hours ahead of his nuptials, DJ Fat Tony gushed over the 'happiest chapter of my life'. Fat Tony, real name Tony Marnach, shared a sweet Instagram post that read, 'Love Wins' just hours ahead of his wedding. Tony added in the caption: 'Here we stand at the beginning... The happiest chapter of my life x' With Tony being hugely popular on the celebrity circuit, it's little surprise that the nuptials hosted an eclectic star-studded guestlist and an A-list performance from none other than Kylie Minogue for the evening celebrations, according to reports.

Chart-topping singer looks unrecognisable in childhood throwback... can you guess who it is?
A singer looked unrecognisable as she shared a throwback photo from her childhood on Saturday. Celebrating an old friend's birthday, the chart-topping musician could be seen posing back-to-back with her pal. 'Can't blaaady believe it! 24 years of friendship getting crazier by the minute. Can't wait to see what happens in the next 30,' she wrote. Another showed the girls smiling in an old print out from a 'kiss me quick' photo booth. But, can you guess who it is? 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. That's right, it's Dua Lipa! The singer celebrated her friend Mia's birthday at the weekend and marked the occasion with some throwbacks. It comes after fans speculated that Miley Cyrus' new 80s-inspired pop song, Every Girl You've Ever Loved, is about her alleged feud with Dua. You would think that the power duo that came up with the hit-song Prisoner would be tethered for life (or at least be on cordial terms) but a new song may suggest otherwise. The speculation centres around a few lines in the song: 'She speaks the perfect French / She can dance the night away / And still, she'll never break a sweat.' To some, these could easily be vague references. But others were quick to point out that Dua fits this description almost exactly. She's shown off her French-speaking skills in a remix of Charli XCX and Troye Sivan 's Talk Talk, and her song Dance the Night from the Barbie soundtrack seems to be clearly referenced. The final line - about not breaking a sweat - has been interpreted in several ways, with some reading it as a subtle dig referencing a viral meme that once poked fun at Dua's lackluster dancing. There is also the possibility that the lyric reflects a deeper comparison between the two artists. While Lipa is known for her cool, composed stage presence, Miley has been more open about the emotional and physical effort she puts into her performances. Some listeners believe the lyric may be less about criticising Dua and more about Cyrus examining her own feelings of insecurity or competition. So where would this alleged feud have come from? Though the two haven't had any public issues, it's worth noting that the two haven't collaborated since their 2020 song Prisoner - and haven't publicly interacted much since then. Also, fans noticed that recently Prisoner's song credits were changed. Miley is now listed as only the featured artist on the track, even though it was originally hers - and she wrote it. These combined occurrences have caused fans to call Miley out for the speculated shade. Fans speculated that the lyrics 'she speaks the perfect French' and 'she can dance the night away' are reference to Lipa 'She's so obsessed I can't,' one X (formerly Twitter) user commented, followed by a crying face emoji. Another user mirrored the sentiment, simply writing, 'obsession.' Some fans were shocked at how obvious the reference seemed to be. 'This actually being the real lyrics lmfao she needs to get over whatever happened between them,' one user wrote.

Sofia Vergara, 52, puts on a leggy display in a plunging lace-up brown swimsuit as she shares racy throwback snaps
She is no stranger to turning up the heat on social media. And Sofia Vergara ensured all eyes were on her as she took to Instagram on Tuesday with a slew of racy throwback snaps. The actress, 52, who was recently spotted with a handsome mystery man in Cannes, sizzled in a brown swimsuit as she posed up a storm on a couch. The dark brown one-piece featured a plunging lace-up neckline that gave a glimpse of her ample cleavage and showed off her toned legs. She accessorised with a stack of blinging jewellery and left her highlighted brown tresses to fall natural over her shoulders. Sofia captioned the snaps, which were taken last year: 'Summer is almost here!!' From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The post comes as Sofia's rumoured romance with Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton has come to an end after they were spotted enjoying a series of days out. In January, the pair were seen dining with friends at Breakfast by Salt Cure in the West Village. Sofia and Lewis were seated next to each other at a restaurant table where they were joined by friends. Observers claimed that Sofia hardly ate any of the food in front of her, as she was so engrossed in the table talk. Outside the restaurant, she and Lewis could be spotted grinning broadly and chatting with one another before she slipped into an SUV and left. However, as reported by RadarOnline, the pair's relationship fizzled out after Lewis' interest had waned, leaving the Colombian beauty feeling 'abandoned'. Over the years, Sofia has romanced a number of younger men, including her second husband Joe Manganiello, 48, and ex-fiancé Nick Loeb, 49. Meanwhile Lewis famously carried on an on-off relationship with Pussycat Dolls star Nicole Scherzinger from 2007 until their final split in 2015. Now, the beauty may be looking for a new love, but the right man would have to meet certain standards. 'I want to say the basic stuff, like health and somebody that loves me,' the star told Today hosts Jenna Bush Hager and Erin Andrews on May 14. 'And somebody tall, handsome.' However, Vergara, whose net worth is estimated about about $180 million is looking for an equitable relationship. She explained: 'I want somebody that has as much money as me or more, because if not, it's a nightmare. 'They end up resenting you. And I want somebody fun. I need fun in my life. ''Why? Because deep down, many men are socialised to view themselves as the financial providers in relationships.
