    Prue Leith’s brutal health battle as Bake Off icon says ‘it’s nearly the end’

    The Great British Bake Off judge Prue Leith has become a beloved part of the show since she joined the Channel 4 series to judge with Paul Hollywood back in 201713:29, 04 Sep 2025Great British Bake Off icon Prue Leith has opened up about her health struggles.The 85-year-old took over from Dame Mary Berry to sit alongside Paul Hollywood as judge during the channel hop from BBC to Channel 4 back in 2017. Now, after nearly a decade on the programme, Prue has addressed the possibility of hanging up her apron.On several occasions the TV chef has spoken about the harsh realities of getting older and how it’s forcing her to slow down, both professionally and personally.Earlier this year Prue made a heartfelt admission to the Loose Women panellists: “Age stinks. Come on, it takes me 10 minutes to get myself out of bed in the morning. If I don’t do my exercises I can’t move.”The culinary expert acknowledged that while she’s becoming more aware that she’s approaching the twilight of her life, this knowledge actually motivates her to squeeze more joy out of every moment, reports the Express.Prue has been suffering with her health for a while(Image: Channel 4 / Mark Bourdillon / Love Productions)Prue explained: “There are all sorts of things that are wrong with old age, you’re very conscious that this is nearly the end. You then decide that you’re going to make the most of it and have fun.”Back in April Prue admitted certain pursuits are sadly now out of reach for her particularly when it comes to gardening, which remains one of her favourite hobbies. She told The Telegraph: “We’ve got a new potting shed and greenhouse and I’m thrilled. It’s full of plants I had in childhood in South Africa, like bright bougainvillaea.”The Bake Off icon judges contestants alongside Paul Hollywood(Image: BANG Showbiz)”I like propagating because my back hurts and I can do it on a high stool. I’m not as hands-on as I’d like because I’m no longer able to be. I find it vaguely surprising I can’t do certain things any longer.”Aside from baking, Prue is an avid gardener(Image: ITV)The cooking guru also said there are particular foods she struggles to resist and she gets “furious” when husband John Playfair tempts her with delicious offerings: “My husband John is naughty because he’ll bring me tea and yogurt and I’ll be furious because I won’t be able to resist eating it.””I don’t usually have breakfast as it’s about the only food I can resist and I have a problem keeping my weight remotely down.”Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

    EastEnders Zoe Slater’s daughter ‘still alive’ as fans spot cryptic giveaway

    EastEnders fans were left in disbelief after a recent episode of the BBC soap hinted that Zoe Slater’s daughter could still be alive by dropping a mysterious clue13:14, 04 Sep 2025EastEnders fans have spotted a hidden detail that could imply Zoe Slater’s daughter is still alive.An explosive episode delivered shock revelations one after the other as a flashback to 2006 dropped the bombshell that Zoe had delivered twins, though it appeared the daughter hadn’t survived, reports the Mirror.Viewers suspect she might still be alive given the episode never explicitly confirmed her death. During the flashback sequence, Zoe was shown in hospital delivering the twins but discovered only one infant beside her, which was a boy.When she questioned the nurse about this, she was told the doctor would come to discuss things with her. Zoe then informed the nurse of her intention to place her son for adoption, though she was advised against making hasty choices.The identity of Zoe’s twins’ father remains to be revealed(Image: bbc)As the nurse departed to consult with the doctor Zoe fled the hospital, abandoning her baby boy. Back in the real world scenes, while losing consciousness from blood loss after being shot, Zoe confessed to Kat that she “couldn’t even be a proper mum,” when Kat asked whether her babies had died and viewers also caught sight of Zoe’s angel tattoo.Whilst it was presumed the daughter, missing from the flashback, had passed away some fans remain unconvinced. Viewers took to X/Twitter and one person wrote: “I just saw a theory on TikTok and it pointed out something I missed, The nurse never actually said: ‘Your daughter died, I’m so sorry,’ she said the doctor will speak to you shortly.”BBC viewers are convinced that Zoe’s daughter is still alive in Albert Square(Image: CREDIT LINE:BBC/Jack Barns/Kieron McCarron)Another viewer speculated: “I think there’s a possibility that Zoe’s daughter is alive and she didn’t wait to find out about her daughter’s fate, assumed the worst and got a tattoo of it because she assumed that her daughter was dead.”A third fan added: “Anyone else think Zoe’s daughter is alive? They never explicitly said she’s dead, just that the doctor would speak to her about her. Perhaps she had a condition but still survived.”Fan theories have been flying round the internet after the shocking flashback episode(Image: BBC)Beyond revealing that Zoe delivered twins, no further details were disclosed, leaving viewers speculating about the identity of the father. Based on the timeline and happenings in Walford, some viewers suspect Den Watts could be the dad.Zoe conceived after her encounter with Den, though she terminated that pregnancy. One viewer commented: “If anything it’s Den’s baby,” as another chimed in: “Wait, is Dirty Den the dad?”Join the Daily Star’s WhatsApp for the sexiest headlines, showbiz gossip and lots moreThe Daily Star is now on WhatsApp and we want you to join us!Through the app, we’ll send you the sassiest showbiz stories, some naught headline and a seismic smattering of aliens…along with the latest breaking news of course.To join our community, all you have to do to join isclick on this link, select ‘Join Chat’ and you’re in!No one will be able to see who has sign up and no one can send messages except for the Daily Star team.

    Louis Theroux fans convinced he has hidden talent – but all is not what it seems

    Louis Theroux has fans convinced he has hidden skills after a viral Instagram clip – but some suspect it may not be quite what it seems according to their comments12:36, 04 Sep 2025Fans were loving the post(Image: _thepocketpt_/Instagram)Louis Theroux has once again set the internet buzzing – but this time for a supposed hidden talent of his.Instead, the documentary king had fans convinced he was secretly a drumming maestro after a slick new clip surfaced online.The journalist, 55, who is best known for his BBC documentaries and accidental foray into the charts with My Money Don’t Jiggle Jiggle, shared a reel to his 2.3 million Instagram followers that left many baffled.In the video, Louis appears to be sat behind a full drum kit, sticks in hand, casually knocking out a faultless rhythm as if he’s been touring with rock bands. With his trademark glasses on and a calm, focused expression, the star looks every inch the seasoned musician.The star pretended to be a skilled drummer(Image: _thepocketpt_/Instagram)The caption teased fans further, with Louis writing: “New hobby unlocked.”One stunned fan commented: “I knew Louis was talented but this is next level. Drummer goals.”Another follower said: “Okay but when is the world tour starting? Jiggle Jiggle with live drums incoming!”A third joked: “You’ve done it all Louis, documentaries, rapping, and now you’re a rock god.”Louis is a documentary veteran(Image: Dave Benett/Getty Images for Netflix)However, as many eagle-eyed viewers quickly realised, all was not as it seemed. Louis had actually been using a drumming simulator filter which had cleverly synced visuals that make it appear as though he was performing in perfect time, when in fact no real drumming was taking place.That didn’t stop the comments from pouring in, with some fans admitting they were fooled at first. “I legit thought this was real for a good 30 seconds,” admitted one. “Louis you got me.”Article continues belowAnother commented: “Doesn’t matter if it’s fake, I’d still buy tickets to see this man on stage.”The lighthearted moment comes after a busy year for the broadcaster, who recently confirmed a new run of Louis Theroux Interviews is on the way, featuring another round of A-list guests.Want all the biggest Showbiz and TV news straight to your inbox?
