    Orlando Bloom ‘shows true colours’ as ex Katy Perry ‘humiliated’ after split

    Katy Perry is said to be feeling “let down and humiliated” after her ex Orlando Bloom appeared to poke fun at her rumoured new romance with former Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau12:23, 09 Aug 2025Katy Perry is said to be feeling “humiliated” by Orlando Bloom after their split(Image: Getty Images for Vanity Fair)Orlando Bloom is said to have left his ex Katy Perry feeling “humiliated”.A few days ago, the actor appeared to playfully address Katy’s apparent new romance with former Canadian PM, Justin Trudeau. Orlando, 48, and Katy, 40, reportedly split earlier this summer after nine years – they got engaged in 2019 and share four-year-old daughter Daisy.Pop star Katy was first linked to Canadian politics titan Justin when they were spotted having dinner together at the Le Violon restaurant in Montreal. Two days later, he was seen dancing and singing in the crowd at her concert in the city.And Orlando couldn’t help but see the funny side of a fake image suggestion that he, too, had found a spark with a famous politician. The post on satirical news site The Onion posted a fake photo of Orlando at dinner with the former Chancellor of Germany, Angela Merkel.Orlando and Katy split earlier this summer(Image: Instagram/ @orlandobloom)It showed the pair sat at a candle-lit dinner table, with a faux caption from an “insider” claiming: “Angela kept Orlando laughing all night – he couldn’t keep his eyes off her!” Orlando saw the funny side of it and posted a string of clapping emojis in the comments section.However, this is said to have upset Katy, and a source told OK!: “Katy feels very let down and humiliated by Orlando, but she’s also realising that he wasn’t the right person for her. He’s showing his true colours and it’s really very hurtful and spiteful to her, especially as it probably means the end of any possible friendship with him in future.They added: “She hoped they’d both be mature after the break-up so she’s feeling really disappointed.”Katy Perry is now linked romantically to former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau(Image: Chris Jackson, Getty Images)Orlando and Katy confirmed the end of their relationship in June with a joint statement. It read: “Due to the abundance of recent interest and conversation surrounding Orlando Bloom and Katy Perry ‘s relationship, representatives have confirmed that Orlando and Katy have been shifting their relationship over the past many months to focus on co-parenting.”They will continue to be seen together as a family, as their shared priority is – and always will be – raising their daughter with love, stability and mutual respect.”Katy has revealed how she and the Lord of the Rings star did couples therapy and that it helped their relationship. She told the Call Her Daddy podcast: “We do a lot of couples therapy and we want to evolve.”That’s, I think, why we’re in our relationship – to become better humans so that we can raise this beautiful human being.” It has been reported that the couple were having issues around the time of her highly criticised Blue Origin space flight in April.It’s not the first time Katy and Orlando have split – they broke up for almost a year in April 2017. At the time, Orlando said, “We’re friends, it’s good. We’re all grown up.” They got back together in early 2018, when they were seen holidaying in Prague.Have you joined Threads?

    Clarkson’s Farm star Harriet Cowan, who shot to fame on Jeremy Clarkson’s Prime Video hit, has opened up about the financial difficulties farmers have to deal with11:12, 09 Aug 2025Updated 11:25, 09 Aug 2025Harriet Cowan says she barely makes any money from farming(Image: Amazon Prime)Clarkson’s Farm favourite Harriet Cowan has admitted she barely makes any money from farming.The 24-year-old shot to fame on the latest series of Clarkson’s Farm, when Jeremy Clarkson brought her in to help run Diddly Squat. She temporarily replaced Kaleb Cooper on the show before he returned to the Cotswolds farm.She’s also just bagged herself a new gig at BBC Radio Derbyshire and over a million followers across Instagram and TikTok. However, she has revealed that she barely earns anything from farming itself.She told BBC’s Farmwatch: “We cannot reiterate how important this is for us, that we don’t do this because it’s going to make us money. Because probably 90% of farms do not make money from the farm, I know I don’t.”The 24-year-old has been working at BBC Radio Derbyshire(Image: Instagram)The Great British Bake Off’s Mike Wilkins said it was because farmers often have to re-invest in their farms and don’t pay themselves. Harriet agreed: “We just work for free seven days a week, and it becomes such a lonely, lonely place.”Mike added: “Profitability is so under pressure. Most farms aren’t making any money, and people really are doing it because it’s their lifestyle.”She told the BBC’s Farmwatch about the financial struggles that farmers face(Image: Instagram)However, Harriet has been tipped to tipped to rake in hundreds of thousands following her fame on Clarkson’s Farm. She has just set up a private company called Farmfluence.PR expert Lynn Carratt told The Sun: “Harriet has around 1.2 million followers across Instagram and TikTok. If she is savvy she could rake in £500,000 in the next 12 months.”Harriet has been working on FarmWatch with the BBC and recently took to the airwaves to talk about Farm24, an annual event celebrating farmers across the UK. The digital event is designed to showcase how much work goes into being a farmer over a 24 hour period, with farmers encouraged to share their farming experiences from 5am until 5am the following day.She’s been tipped to rake in over £500k(Image: Instagram/harrietcowan_x)She took to Instagram to thank her fans for supporting the campaign and everyone who tuned into the show. She said: “I just want to say a massive thank you to everyone that supported Farm 24 and BBC FarmWatch yesterday.”It was an amazing day that showcased so many farmers and how hard a 24 period on a farm actually is for every single farmer out there. So a massive, massive thank you. Thank you so much for listening on all things Farm 24 and our BBC FarmWatch radio presenting show last night.”Harriet has shared her hopes for the next generation of farmers to get the recognition they deserve. She said: “Farm24 is showcasing to the general public, over a 24-hour period, what a farmer gets up to.”The Government should invest more time and money into farming because we need it. It’s a bit of a dying industry otherwise.”Going forward, I hope that the next generation of farmers will be recognised more by the public and the Government, especially to put British farming on the map and for people to be aware that we are here.Being part of the community is probably the most rewarding part for me. You have your neighbours and you’re all in tune with each other. You can talk, and if you’re having problems, they’ll all be there to help you.”Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?

    EXCLUSIVE: The voice behind Jet2’s “Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday” advert is a beloved soap actress who has opened up to Daily Star about her career and previous roles11:00, 09 Aug 2025This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it. Learn moreThe voice behind Jet2’s iconic commercial is actually a former Hollyoaks actress(Image: Bloomberg via Getty Images)The voice behind Jet2’s iconic advert also uses a “sultry” voice for her other projects, she has confessed.Soap star Zoe Lister, who has previously starred in Hollyoaks, is the face behind the viral “Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday” advert and told us that she sometimes uses a “classic, sultry vibe” when working with some particular brands.The voice actress told Daily Star: “Jet2 is really fun to voice. They also have sub-brands like Indulgent Escapes, Vibe and City Breaks which all require different voices. Indulgent escapes has that classic sultry vibe, which is really fun to do.”For Vibe I pretend to be a 25-year-old with attitude and City Breaks, a busy modern professional with places to be. I love playing all those roles! Some voiceovers can be pages of incomprehensible corporate speak which are pretty dry.”Zoe previously played Zoe Carpenter on the iconic UK soap Hollyoaks(Image: Zoe Lister / SWNS)Zoe admitted that she find the roles with “a bit of character about them” the ones she enjoys the most: “I channel the holiday mood by literally imagining myself on an idyllic beach as I say the words.

I always read them with a massive smile and lots of shoulder moves and pointing which seems to help…”When asked if she expected the voiceover to go as viral as it did, Zoe responded: “Not in a million years!

    Vicky Pattison fears agonising health issue ‘could get worse’ ahead of Strictly

    Former I’m A Celeb champ Vicky Pattison has been tipped to appear on this year’s series of Strictly Come Dancing, but it’s said she’ll need to “look after herself”10:44, 09 Aug 2025Vicky Pattison was “desperately worried” ahead of her Strictly stint after suffering agonising pain(Image: Ken McKay/ITV/REX/Shutterstock)Vicky Pattison has reportedly been left “desperately worried” ahead of her rumoured Strictly stint after a debilitating health setback.The TV star is said to be determined to do the 2025 series of the BBC show and isn’t “a quitter”, but a source said she needs to take care of herself in light of her recent health woes. The former I’m A Celeb champ revealed that she was left virtually bedbound last week after suffering a trapped nerve in her back during a charity trek in Iceland.Vicky told fans she is predisposed to the often agonising health condition, particularly towards the winter months – and admitted she could “barely move” because it. A source told the Mirror: “She was desperately worried that this wasn’t only not going to go away but that it could get worse.The star suffered a trapped nerve in her back during a charity trek in Iceland and was left virtually bedbound last week (Image: Instagram)They added: “Vicky isn’t a complainer, so when she says something feels bad, she means it. But she’s also a really tough person and has already shown that she can cope with pretty much anything – one thing she’s not, is a quitter. She needs to make sure she looks after herself though, that will be the most important thing.”They continued: “Strictly has been the number one show on her wish list for years, especially after she went to watch her bestie Pete [Wicks] on it last year. This would be her time to shine and she knows that second chances don’t come around often.”Vicky was doing a gruelling trek in Iceland with the breast cancer charity CoppaFeel! when the trapped nerve hit. The condition happens when too much pressure is applied to a nerve by a nearby bone or muscle, and symptoms can include numbness, an aching or burning pain and muscle weakness.Vicky enjoyed some downtime in Iceland after the CoppaFeel! trek but she was left in tons of pain(Image: Social Media)Vicky was left virtually unable to move because of the excruciating issue. She took to social media and said: “It happens mostly in the winter when I’m cold and all hunched over and tight. It obviously happened in the trek last week. And I’m just feeling it now because my body has relaxed for the first time in a week. But I can barely bloody move.”The timing is dreadful, the source added, because she was only just unofficially revealed as one of the first celebrities ready to sign on the dotted line for the 23rd Strictly series, which starts filming later this summer. Vicky, who presents a Saturday afternoon show on Heart radio, has been a fan of Strictly for ages and was even seen in the audience last year, supporting best pal Pete Wicks.Vicky’s best pal Pete Wicks took part in Strictly in 2024(Image: PA)She once said she was more likely to “stand in the corner, drink and have a laugh” than take to the dancefloor, but the Mirror’s source claimed it’s time for Vicky to embark on her Strictly journey – on the condition that she can get herself back in tip-top health.”She was in terrible pain with this trapped nerve, and really doesn’t want it to mean the end of something she’s dreamed about doing. She’s watched Strictly for years but she had never felt as confident in herself as she does today – so the timing was worrying. “Dealing with health issues unfortunately isn’t new to her, either, but it means she does know how to listen to her body and take care of herself.”Vicky, who married Ercan Ramadan last year, has discussed her lengthy battle to get a diagnosis of Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD), which causes insomnia, anxiety, depressive thoughts, and physical pain. “She’s literally feeling all the emotions right now – Strictly isn’t a walk in the park,” our source claims.”It’s gruelling on the body and the mind, so she needs both to be in excellent condition. But she’s a tough cookie so friends and family are convinced she’ll do well. She’s one determined lady – if anyone can do this, Vicky can.”Article continues belowHave you joined Threads?
