BROCARDE’S TERRIFYING TRAVELS: Daily Star’s paranormal columnist Brocarde has been brushing shoulders with some big names…of the past. Here, she tells of her time connecting with a metal legend14:00, 07 Sep 2025Rock singer and songwriter Brocarde is a paranormal expert, who spends her time searching for haunted hotspots. After capturing headlines across the globe and discussing her ghostly activities with Daily Star, Brocarde has now landed her own online column.

She experienced her life-changing supernatural encounter that lead to her marrying (and subsequently divorcing) the ghost of a Victorian solider.

Brocarde travels the world and showcases weird and wonderful destinations that are deemed to be hotspots for paranormal activity. Her ghost whispering abilities allow her to be well-equipped in telling spooky stories, aided by her unique sense of humour and fascination for the unexplained.

Brocarde’s column is published every weekend. Brocarde is back with her terrifying travels – and this time she claims she met a celebrity ghostLemmy Kilmister’s spirit is still alive at Wacken. He’s still on horseback, but he’s finished eating his pizza. Last year I was invited to Wacken Open Air in Germany to film a commemorative ceremony in honour of Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead.I performed a special séance to try to connect with the spirit of Lemmy and see if he was still present on the Holy Ground.I found him on horseback eating a slice of pizza, this year I wanted to see if he’s still present at Germany’s biggest heavy metal festival.You may be wondering why would Lemmy’s ghost be at a German metal festival?Wacken was a special place for Lemmy, he had a close relationship with the festival owners and he’d made his mark by performing at the festival eight times.Brocarde caught up with some ghosts at Wacken festival…how metal!(Image: Brocarde)In 2023, Wacken Open Air unveiled a tribute to Lemmy and scattered his ashes at the festival site. They also made a permanent memorial to Lemmy, so that he could “return home” and have a final resting place at the festival.My séance for Lemmy took place at Lemmy’s memorial inside the Landgasthof, which they call ‘Lemmy’s Bar’.When you arrive at the bar you will be greeted by a huge statue of Lemmy and inside you will find a display of his personal possessions.From the moment I arrived at Wacken I had a strong sense of Lemmy. The thought of a performing a séance to connect with such a well-loved celebrity did make me nervous, usually when I see a ghost it is a private thing without any expectation.I was afraid of what I may see and how to vocalise it.I created a circle of red roses and lit dragons blood sage. I wasn’t using sage to repel any spirit, I was using it to cleanse the space.Lemmy’s bar was closed for me to conduct this ceremony. But, before I arrived, hundreds of metalheads had passed through the bar, so there were lots of lingering energy of different kinds.The paranormal expert met Lemmy – who apparently likes hanging out at the festival after his ashes were scattered there(Image: Brocarde)I sat down and I began to conduct a spirit rod session. Privately, I don’t usually use any tools or devises to communicate with spirits and I hate the idea of conjuring ghosts.Since I’ve been filming paranormal explorations, I’ve found that spirit rods can confirm the energy and apparitions I’m sensing, for those watching.It was immediately apparent that Lemmy does not like spirit rods and did not want to play by the rules!I secretly loved that.This is one of the few occasions where my spirit rods failed to move, even to confirm what meant ‘yes’ and what meant ‘no’.Instead, I was becoming intoxicated by this heavy rebellious spirit – and I started to feel emotional.I forgot that there was a room of people watching me and filming me. I was experiencing a very vivid apparition of Lemmy on a black stallion eating a slice of pizza.I blurted out what I was seeing, fully aware of how bizarre that would sound, but I didn’t want to overthink it.I was terrified of being hated or for people to think I was joking, this apparition was a charming representation of Lemmy and I wanted to share it.A few weeks later, I was fortunate enough to sit down with Phil Campbell who was Lemmy’s bandmate in Motörhead but, more than that, a close personal friend.I was touched by the amount of emotion Phil showed when talking about Lemmy, years after his death, there’s not a day that passes when Lemmy isn’t in his thoughts.Brocarde said she saw Lemmy eating pizza on horseback…(Image: Brocarde)I wanted to share my apparition of Lemmy with Phil and he told me not to dismiss what I’d seen. Phil told me that when Lemmy was alive he constantly spoke about riding horses and one of his favourite foods was pizza, as long as it had no mushrooms on it!He also told me that Lemmy believed in ghosts and had experienced many sightings himself.Suddenly, my apparition was starting to make sense. Some people have a theory that in death we return to places where we felt happy and partake in things that we love.I often get asked why people see ghosts of celebrities, it’s simply because celebrities are entities that don’t want to be forgotten.Article continues belowIn life, rock stars fight hard for the limelight. They are huge powerful enigma’s with undeniable energy and presence, often after death this energy can live on.So, in so many ways, Lemmy’s energy lives on at Wacken. I felt his presence again this year, still on horseback, but he’d finished eating his pizza.I hope his energy continues to live on in many ways for years to come… More

JoJo Siwa has opened up about her relationship with Chris Hughes and the difficulties they’ve faced since going public with their romance during her time on CBB13:02, 07 Sep 2025JoJo Siwa and Chris Hughes got together after the show(Image: chrishughesofficial/Instagram)JoJo Siwa has opened up about her relationship with Chris Hughes, whom she met on Celebrity Big Brother just four months ago.The 22-year-old singer and the 32-year-old presenter, who shot to fame on Love Island, crossed paths while Siwa was still dating non-binary Australian Kath Ebbs, 27. Despite the initial controversy, Siwa and Hughes’ bond has only grown stronger, although Siwa recently revealed they’ve hit a few bumps along the way.After her stint on CBB ended, JoJo called it quits with Kath, and not long after, during a holiday in Mexico, she and Chris confessed their feelings for each other.The Dance Moms star also addressed the public’s curiosity about her relationship with Hughes, confessing that she can see why some might think it’s too good to be true. Speaking frankly, she described their bond as “magic” and assured that, contrary to what some may think, their love story is genuine.The pair met on CBB(Image: ITV)”It’s funny, a lot of people think that it’s fake. And I can see where people would go: ‘Ahh, it’s too good to be true. That’s too perfect.’ No, trust me, I agree with them. It is too perfect. It’s magic. But it’s real,” she told The Sun in an interview, reports the Mirror.”So the best thing to do is just sit back and laugh, because it’s so obviously not fake. It’s not even worth fighting it. The remarks surface as JoJo’s former partner, Ebbs, issued a statement on social media whilst unveiling their new relationship.In what appeared to be a dig at JoJo, Kath posted: “Hope this one doesn’t cheat on me. ” JoJo subsequently responded to the comment, stating: “It’s interesting… It’s funny to see what people do for attention.”Whilst JoJo makes it evident that harsh remarks about her sexuality and romance don’t personally wound her, she expresses concern about their effect on younger individuals who might be grappling with their own identities.”What people say doesn’t affect me,” she explained, “But it does affect people who are younger than me and will go through something similar.JoJo admits she is very much in love with her partner(Image: Instagram/Jojo Siwa)”You cannot control in this world who you love. My first love was a woman, and that was what it was. I didn’t try to stop that; why would I try to stop this?”JoJo acknowledges that whilst the backlash hasn’t been straightforward, it’s had a surprising consequence on her romance with Chris – it’s brought them considerably closer, to the extent that she’s already contemplating their nuptials.”We both come from a place where people talk so negatively about us, but we just let them. It’s not worth biting back. We have that in common. But it is tough,” she confessed.”I love how my family loves him. It’s one of my favourite things. I’ve always wanted that.” Spilling the beans about their upcoming nuptials, she enthused: “A wedding is a two-person thing. So we would have to decide what it looks like. But I do know that I want it to have a baby-blue colour scheme and I need to help Chris make the playlist.”Otherwise, it’ll be all songs I don’t know! He likes to educate me on music. He loves The 1975 and all these boy bands, but I don’t know any of them as they are British. Give me some NSYNC or Backstreet Boys!”.Article continues belowWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox? Sign up for our free Daily Star Showbiz newsletter. More

How about you?” Harrison agrees, replying: “No, me neither.”The camera then swings to the former Islander, who is looking glum on the floor, suggesting he misses the villa.The nine-second snippet has racked up nearly a million views, with fans echoing a common sentiment in the comments section. Many reckon Harrison is yearning for his days with Toni.One wrote: “Replace the word villa with Toni and you’re right on the money there, mate,” while another concurred: “Really, you mean you miss Toni.”Another fan chimed in, “I’d miss Toni too, to be fair,” and a fourth queried, “Does he miss the place or someone?”.However, some leapt to the Derby lad’s defence, with one countering: “He just means the villa and all his mates and time in there… not that deep.”Harrison and Lauren are still going strong(Image: ITV/Shutterstock)Upon returning to the main house with Harrison, Lauren watched her fresh romance crumble as he began chatting up Toni before ultimately choosing to recouple with her.This devastated Lauren, especially since the duo had been intimate before Harrison abandoned her for his former partner.Nevertheless, the footballer eventually chose to chase Lauren and departed the villa alongside her following her harsh elimination.The pair remains solid to this day.

Charlotte Dawson and fiancé Matt Sarsfield have put their romance on pause, as she says juggling life with three kids has left little time to focus on their relationship10:04, 07 Sep 2025The couple share three children(Image: Instagram)Life for Charlotte Dawson has never been more hectic – and with three little ones under five, it’s easy to understand why. She also had to weather a turbulent period in her personal life last year when her fiancé, ex-rugby league star Matt Sarsfield, confessed to sending explicit messages to another woman whilst Charlotte was expecting their third child.Despite the heartbreak and doubt about their future at the time, Charlotte chose to stick by her partner and today she describes their bond as “strong”. However, as she reveals exclusively to OK!, their world revolves entirely around family at the moment, meaning any romantic gestures have been put firmly on the back burner.”Date nights – what are they?” laughs Charlotte, 32, with her characteristic, no-nonsense wit. She and Matt, who celebrates his 34th birthday this week, are mum and dad to Noah, four, Jude, two, and six-month-old Gigi, and she acknowledges they find it tough to carve out couple time away from the nappies, midnight feeds and household chaos.”We’ve had no date nights recently,” she admits. “We do need to prioritise us a bit more because we just haven’t for a while. It’s all about the kids right now. But when Noah starts school and we’ve got a proper routine, that’s when I think our spark will start sparking again.”, reports the Mirror.Charlotte is the daughter of late comedian Les(Image: Mike Marsland/WireImage)Whilst last summer’s infidelity drama proved to be a difficult period for Charlotte, she maintains that she and Matt have completely put the episode behind them. “We’re solid, you know?” she explains.”We’ve worked through everything and now it’s all about the kids and family life.”When it comes to disciplining their children, Charlotte believes there’s no contest about who plays the roles of good cop and bad cop. “Oh, Matthew is the strict one – 100%,” she declares.”I try, but they just laugh in my face. When Matthew says it’s wrong, it’s wrong. When I say it, it’s like, ‘Yeah, OK Mum.’ Jude listens to me a bit more, but Noah? Nah, he just thinks I’m a joke.”This dynamic seems to work well for the couple, even though Charlotte concedes she’s a bit lenient. “I do try,” she insists.”But honestly, I’m all about cuddles and chaos – that’s me.”They have worked through their issues(Image: Charlotte Dawson/Instagram)With a giggle, she admits that chaos aptly describes her current situation. As we speak, Noah is preparing for his first day of school, Jude is advancing to a higher class at nursery, and Gigi – who, as Charlotte proudly points out, was born on International Women’s Day – has just begun weaning.”It’s all happening! I’ve got two big milestones at once and then Gigi is starting on solids, so I literally can’t catch a break,” she exclaims. “I keep telling myself not to blink because this stage will be gone soon, but right now, it’s full-on.”The prospect of sending her eldest child off to school is taking an emotional toll on her, she confesses. “Noah was my lockdown baby, my firstborn – he’s always been with me,” she shares.”So, the thought of him going off in his little uniform, I’m hormonal just thinking about it. Honestly, I’m in bits.”For Charlotte, the biggest hurdle hasn’t been uniforms or school shoes – it’s been establishing some sort of routine. “Noah’s never really had a proper routine,” she confesses.”I live in Barbie world! When he was a baby, I just wanted him with me all the time. But now school is starting, we have to nail this bedtime thing. That’s what I’m most worried about.”Article continues belowWant all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox? Sign up for our free Daily Star Showbiz newsletter. More

EXCLUSIVE: Danniella Westbrook says she’d love to do Strictly Come Dancing but hints she’s not allowed on the show, revealing there’s a surprising reason behind the ban09:00, 07 Sep 2025Updated 10:36, 07 Sep 2025The star would love to do the BBC showDanniella Westbrook has admitted why she’s unlikely to ever appear on Strictly Come Dancing – and it might surprise fans who would love to see her on the dazzling dancefloor.The former EastEnders star admitted that appearing on the hit BBC ballroom show has always been a dream of hers. Talking exclusively to Daily Star in collaboration with casino.org, she said: “I’d love to do Strictly. It’s my dream.”But I don’t think they’d let me do it because I’ve done Dancing on Ice already. I’m not sure why, though. They are hugely different – two very different shows.”Danniella, 51, added that she would also jump at the chance to appear on shows like Celebrity Dance Moms, describing it as something she thinks “would be great”.Danniella doesn’t think her TV dream will ever happen(Image: Getty Images)The actress is keeping her options open elsewhere, revealing she’d also love to try Celebs Go Dating to find love. “I need to find true love. I thought I found it, but I was wrong,” she admitted candidly.When asked what kind of partner she’s looking for, Danniella shared: “Someone with a job. Honestly, a good mate of mine, Danny – he’s been in the industry for years doing hair. He’s worked with some huge celebrities, like Cara Delevingne and loads of others. If you could find someone like my mate Dan, that would be perfect.“He understands how tough this industry can be and has a solid work ethic. He’s clean and sober, so he’d get where I’m coming from with my own lifestyle.She is also on the hunt for love(Image: Getty Images)Article continues below“I’d love to meet someone who’s not a clout chaser, someone genuine who isn’t obsessed with social media or has a massive ego. Just someone real, with a bit of drive. Someone who doesn’t want to suddenly be an actor or go on Big Brother once you’ve lived with them, you know, suddenly they want to give up everything they’re doing and become famous.”She continued: “When you get to 51, and you think you’ve found ‘the one’, like I thought I had not too long ago, and it doesn’t work out, it knocks you a bit. So now, I’m just trying to find that spark and energy again.”Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox? Sign up for our free Daily Star Showbiz newsletter. More
