[Mum] was hurt and we definitely had a tough time with disagreements. I’m more reserved and my private life is very important.”Aimee made the bold decision to step out of the spotlight at just 16 when her family’s reality show began filming – a choice that Sharon Osbourne has since admitted she regrets.Now 41, Aimee seems to be opening up more about her personal life, regularly sharing updates about her music on Instagram.Have you joined Threads?

Pop star Justin Bieber has publicly slammed himself, saying he is “extremely selfish and impatient” and has “anger issues” in a candid social media messageAndy Gilpin Deputy Editor in Chief and Bang Showbiz14:32, 30 Jul 2025Updated 14:32, 30 Jul 2025 Justin Bieber has been rather truthful on social media(Image: justinbieber/Instagram)Justin Bieber has admitted to being “extremely selfish and impatient”.The 31-year-old pop sensation, who shares 11-month-old son Jack Blues with wife Hailey Bieber, expressed gratitude for his Christian faith, which he says remains steadfast even when he’s not at his best.Posting a series of snaps by a tree on X, he wrote: “Let’s have a good day, let’s go outside. Get in nature.”Thanking Jesus for his patience with me this morning. I can be extremely selfish and impatient yet Jesus always has his arms open toward me.”The Believe hitmaker has been openly discussing his shortcomings in several social media posts of late. Just last month, Justin labelled himself as “broken” and confessed to having “anger issues” in a post that appeared to address fans worried about his unpredictable online behaviour.He wrote: “People keep telling me to heal. Don’t you think if I could have fixed myself I would have already? I know I’m broken. I know I have anger issues.”I tried to do the work my whole life to be like the people who told me I needed to be fixed like them. And it just keeps making me more tired and more angry. The harder I try to grow, the more focussed on myself I am.”Jesus is the only person who keeps me wanting to make my life about others. Because honestly I’m exhausted with thinking about myself lately aren’t you?”.This revelation followed a previous post where Justin shared a text exchange with a mate, in which he vented his frustration and threatened to sever ties after they seemingly criticised his actions.(Image: BANG Showbiz)A screenshot of their text conversation shows Justin stating: “I would never suppress my emotions for someone. Conflict is a part of relationship. If you don’t like my anger, you don’t like me.”My anger is a response to pain I have been thru. Asking a traumatized person not to be traumatized is simply mean. (sic)”.His unnamed friend, however, maintained that they could sense Justin’s anger, replying: “I’m not used to someone lashing out at me.”It’s not that I don’t see and feel your anger.”Justin then abruptly severed ties, declaring, “Ouch. This friendship is officially over. I will never accept a man calling my anger lashing out. I enjoyed our short-lived relationship.Article continues below”I wasn’t kidding when I told u I didn’t need u as a friend. I have good friends who will respect these boundaries. I thought u were a p**** which is why I always kept my distance but I was willing to give you the benefit of the doubt. This confirms u were the p**** I always thought u were.”He concluded the exchange by sending a middle finger emoji. When his texting partner questioned, “I’m a p****?” Justin responded with, “Blocking u now.” More

Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have announced they are to divorce after 12 years of marriage – and they’ve been living apart for most of the past year13:48, 30 Jul 2025The news of their separation has come as a shock to fans(Image: Karwai Tang, WireImagevia Getty Images)Television presenters Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have revealed that they are ending their 12-year marriage. In a joint statement, Cat, 48, and Patrick, 54, announced: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.”The couple, who share two children, added: “We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected.”In a lighthearted interview last year, Cat had poked fun at one aspect of their relationship, revealing the extensive skincare routine she follows to maintain her youthful appearance. Speaking to The Telegraph, she joked: “I go to bed like a greasy potato chip, you’ve never seen anything like it. It’s all over the pillows. Poor Paddy!”.However, it has recently come to light that the couple had been living apart for most of the past year. A source told the Daily Mail that Cat and Patrick’s busy work schedules had put a significant strain on their marriage.”It is such sad news,” the insider said. “They were so happy after they moved back to London, and would talk about their grand plans to renovate the house for the family.”Cat outlined the complicated skincare routine that keeps her looking good on camera(Image: Getty Images for Emirates)The source added that Patrick’s heavy workload, which includes commuting between Dublin for The Late Late Show and London for his weekly Radio 5 Live show, had taken a toll on their relationship. Additionally, Patrick has been coping with personal losses, including the deaths of his mother and aunt in the past year.Onlookers noticed that Cat was absent from the mourners when Patrick carried his mother Mary’s coffin through their village in March. At the time, a spokesman explained: “Cat remained at home to be there for her two young children before and after school on this very sad day.”Since February 2024, Cat’s schedule has been largely consumed by her commitment to ITV’s This Morning, resulting in the couple often passing each other “like ships in the night.”During an appearance on the show, Cat revealed that she and Patrick frequently slept in separate bedrooms due to their conflicting schedules. She explained: “It’s one of those things – because of our schedule here [on This Morning], from Monday to Thursday I sleep in the guest bedroom and the rest of the time I’m back. Because otherwise I get up at 5am and I want to fall asleep earlier.”Patrick and Cat share two sons — Milo, aged nine, and seven-year-old James(Image: FilmMagic)Prior to accepting the This Morning role after lengthy negotiations at the end of 2023, Cat had been hosting So You Think You Can Dance for US TV, further increasing the physical distance between the couple.Article continues belowBefore the split was announced, Patrick had claimed that their conflicting schedules hadn’t been an issue, although he acknowledged that they “probably could have timed it better in terms of the juggle”.Describing his Irish TV chat show as his “dream job,” he said “for the two of us to be doing two big shows like that is kind of mad”. Speaking to RSVP Magazine, he explained: “I’ve had my house in Dundrum [County Down] for 25 years now and I’ve always been back and forth. The kids are in school in London and Cat works in London, she’s there four days a week.”He further mentioned that he and his wife had no intention of relocating permanently to Ireland, stating: “I can just about come to Dublin to do what I do, but she’s in ITV four days a week.” More

Sir Michael Palin, 82, has admitted he is “prepared to die” and has made a will and has discussed death with his adult children after his wife Helen died in 2023Jasmine Allday Assistant Showbiz Editor and Andy Gilpin Deputy Editor in Chief13:04, 30 Jul 2025Updated 13:04, 30 Jul 2025(Image: Alan Davidson/REX/Shutterstock)Sir Michael Palin has revealed that he has made arrangements for the end of his life. In a new interview, the Monty Python legend discussed his will and mentioned that his children “know where to find what they need to find should I die”.The TV personality opened up about the heartbreaking loss of his wife, Helen, who passed away in 2023. Reflecting on their love story and life together, he said: “Helen and I met on holiday in 1959. I was about 16 at the time. It was a holiday romance that built up to a long marriage. There was always a feeling that we were a unit – I hadn’t really realised until that after she’d died.”That was a difficult thing: there was half of your life gone. I still say, ‘We’ve got in our garden…’, ‘We have two grandchildren…’ although she’s still here. I still use the ‘we’. I find it almost impossible to say, ‘I am…'”During an interview for the On the Marie Curie Couch podcast, Michael detailed that his wife had been suffering for years following a knee replacement before being diagnosed with a “number of different things were diagnosed”.”She had some problems with her heart. The gradual withdrawal from life was something I think she found very, very difficult. She was a gregarious person and full of fun. In the end, she was diagnosed with kidney failure. Then she got pneumonia and we went into hospital. We had a pretty bad experience there,” he added.The 1989 TV show Around the World in 80 Days with Michael Palin(Image: Prominent Films)He credited the care she received at a Marie Curie hospice for making a significant difference, noting that she was happier during her final days than she had been in the preceding six years.Michael, who has three children – William, Rachel, and Thomas – with his late wife Helen, revealed: “I do think about death, and my family is rather wonderful about it, asking things like ‘Have you made a will? Can I be in your will?'”.”I’ve made my will and all that. My family, my children, know where to find what they need to find should I die.”He maintained that he doesn’t dwell on mortality and instead focuses on living each day, although he does admit to being “slightly unsteady” on his feet at times.He stated: “I’m 82 now, which is longer than any Palin male has lived for 200 years. I keep fit and I’m working, fortunately, and doing some quite difficult stuff, filming and all that.”I kid myself that I’m going to be alright, and yet I know that I won’t because you feel tired at certain times. You’re slightly unsteady as you get out of bed, and you think, what’s happening? Well, the old car’s getting a bit rusty.”Article continues belowMichael underwent open-heart surgery in 2019 and believes that his wife Helen’s passing has helped their family view death in a more direct manner, a perspective he was discouraged from adopting during his childhood.
