    Severed head of missing Beauty and the Geek star’s boyfriend found by dog walker

    Julian Story had gone missing and is now believed to have been murdered by his partner Tamika Chesser in Australia, now the man’s head has been discovered by a horrified dog walker20:54, 31 Jul 2025Tamika Chesser shot to fame on Beauty and the Geek in 2010(Image: @tamikachesser/Instagram)The severed head of a man allegedly murdered by his Beauty and the Geek star girlfriend has been found.The dog and its owner had been walking through scrubland in the Australian city of Port Lincoln, about 250km – or about 155 miles – west of Adelaide. While the pair had been walking through the landscape, the head was discovered by the walker, though the dog appeared to run off with the had and did not return.It is now believed that the severed head is that of Julian Story, a 39-year-old man who was allegedly brutally murdered and dismembered by his partner Tamika Chesser. Tamika, 34, first shot to fame when she starred in the reality show Beauty and the Geek back in 2010.According to the Sun, police in the Australian state of South Australia confirmed that a head had been discovered. In a statement released on Thursday (July 31), South Australia Police boss Darren Fielke confirmed that other remains had also been found.Julian Story is alleged to have been murdered and dismembered by Tamika Chesser(Image: South Australian Police)”Earlier today, police received information from a member of the public in Port Lincoln that they had located in a scrub area what appeared to be a human skull,” Fielke explained. “There are some walking tracks through there, my understanding is the person who contacted us today was walking their dog in the area.”The dog ran off into the scrub, it didn’t come back when called,” he added. “They had to walk into the scrub area to find it; [the remains] were not buried – they were quite out in the open.”Formal identification is now set to take place, with tests being carried out on the remains to confirm that they are those of missing Julian. Fielke added that Julian’s family have been made aware of the discovery and are now being told to prepare for any information regarding his disappearance and alleged murder.Tamika is currently being held in a mental health facility(Image: Facebook)”Julian’s family have been contacted today and provided an update in relation to what has been located and what the ongoing process is from here,” the police boss added. “Hopefully we can give them some comfort that we have found all the remains of Julian.”Aussie police first made the horrific discovery in June, after they were called to deal with a small fire that had broken out. Julian’s partner Tamika was later arrested and detained under the Mental Health Act some two days afterwards.However, while police are keen to launch a full investigation, officers are unable to speak to the star, as she is currently being held in a mental health facility. She has, however, already appeared before a magistrates court in Port Lincoln via video link, in connection for three different crimes.Police believe Tamika was seen wearing all back just hours after the alleged murder took place(Image: 9 News Australia)Tamika stands charged with murder after police released CCTV footage of a woman believed to be Tamika in the wake of the alleged murder. She is also accused of perverting the course of justice by disposing of human remains, as well as assaulting a police officer.Court documents found that officers discovered Tamika sitting in the back garden of her home – dressed fully in black wearing a head covering – “in a catatonic and unresponsive state”. Police have admitted there is no obvious motive that has been found yet, and that there are “a lot of unanswered questions” in the case.Article continues belowFor the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.

    Cat Deeley’s ‘biggest regret’ over lavish wedding to Patrick Kielty before split

    This Morning presenter Cat Deeley and her husband Patrick Kielty announced their split this week after more than a decade of marriage. The couple share two children19:24, 31 Jul 2025Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley(Image: PA)Cat Deeley has shared a poignant memory from before her luxurious wedding to Patrick Kielty. The TV presenters announced their separation earlier this week, bringing an end to over a decade of marriage.This Morning host Cat, 48, and Northern Irish presenter Patrick, 54, first met while co-presenting BBC’s Fame Academy in 2002, going on to host two series of the show together that year.The couple exchanged vows in an intimate ceremony in Rome in September 2012, just nine months after they started dating. The ceremony, attended by 100 guests, was conducted by Belfast-based priest Father Gary Donegan.In a previous interview, Cat revealed that her grandfather was unable to attend the destination wedding due to poor health. Although the former couple recorded the ceremony for him, he sadly passed away before he could watch it.Cat took on the role of presenting This Morning in London while Patrick hosts The Late Late Show in Dublin(Image: PA Archive)When asked about her “biggest regret” by Grazia magazine in 2017, Cat opened up about the heartbreak, saying: “He died before he saw it. The good thing is we love it and, after two glasses of wine, Patrick and I put it on like a pair of losers.”The couple’s fans were shocked when details of their wedding emerged, especially since Patrick had denied being engaged just months before they tied the knot. Cat had already chosen her wedding dress before Patrick had even popped the question.During a 2021 appearance on Lorraine, she revealed: “Mine [wedding dress] is in the cupboard somewhere but I’d actually already got my dress before… It wasn’t because I was feeling lucky, I promise! It was a couture dress from Alexander McQueen – a shift white dress.”She continued: “It was so beautiful that I just couldn’t not buy it and I hadn’t even met Paddy at that stage. I literally put it in my cupboard and I was like I’ll wear it to something… I’ll wear it to some awards. There you go.”Cat and Patrick have two children together. In a statement announcing their separation this week, they said: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved.Patrick Kielty and Cat Deeley were trying to juggle their work commitments(Image: Getty Images North America)”We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment.”Cat’s rise to fame began when she presented SM:TV Live alongside Ant McPartlin and Declan Donnelly. She met Patrick in 2002 on Fame Academy, but they didn’t start dating until almost a decade later.RTE presenter Patrick claimed he won Cat over with a grand romantic gesture. In an interview with The Daily Mail, he said: “Unless someone was stupid enough to get on a plane, nothing would have happened.”Patrick explained: “Cat was in LA and I was in Northern Ireland, so I texted her to wish her a happy birthday. When she said she was having a birthday lunch at the Beverly Hills Hotel, I said I’d be there. She told me to go to sleep as I was drunk.Article continues below”That was 2am. I got up at 5am, went to Belfast airport for 6am, got the 7.15am flight to Heathrow, landed at 8.30am, took off again at 9.40am and arrived in LA at 1.15pm.”The couple had previously resided in the US while Cat hosted So You Think You Can Dance, but they relocated back to the UK in 2020.

    Patrick Kielty admitted marriage to Cat Deeley was ‘not equal partnership’

    TV presenters Cat Deeley and Patrick Kielty have recently announced they are separating after 12 years of marriage and Patrick previously opened up about their relationship struggles19:10, 31 Jul 2025Updated 19:17, 31 Jul 2025Patrick Kielty admitted his marriage to Cat Deeley was not a “50/50 partnership”.The TV personalities recently announced that they are parting ways and two years before the sad news, Patrick made a major confession about their marriage.During an appearance on The Mid-Point podcast back in July 2023, when asked about how he and Cat handled major decisions Patrick chuckled: “For a long time I genuinely thought I was in a 50/50 partnership. Then you realise you’re actually a junior shareholder in a 50/50 partnership. You go: ‘I thought we were 50/50? Why do you seem to have more shares?'””I think with big decisions you kind of have to float stuff and see how that’s going to go. You know, drop that into conversation,” reports the Mirror.Pat and Cat left fans reeling when they revealed they’ve decided to end their 14-year romance. The pair broke the news in a shocking statement which read: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated.”The showbiz couple are parting ways after 12 years of marriage(Image: PA)”There is no other party involved. We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment.”The former couple first crossed paths whilst co-presenting BBC’s Fame Academy back in 2002, though romance didn’t spark until 2011. They exchanged vows just 12 months later in September 2012 at a romantic ceremony in Rome and went on to have two sons together – Milo, nine, and James, six.Cat and Pat share two children together(Image: PA)The announcement follows reports that Cat Deeley struggled with relocating back to the UK before her separation from Patrick Kielty.Patrick has also previously hinted at relationship challenges: “Yeah, look, you know 10 years into marriage, it is something you work at. It’s that idea that what attracts you is not going to keep you together.”The former couple have confirmed that no other party is involved in their split(Image: WireImage)”It’s that idea of how you work together whenever the rough and the smooth and all those things, it’s a journey. You put those kids into the mix and suddenly those priorities change, and all of those things.””I think anybody who feels they can put their feet up and go: ‘Yeah, that’s marriage cracked.’ You’re kind of going: ‘Really?!”Article continues belowJoin 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.

    Stephen Fry welcomes the rise of AI as humans ‘weren’t evolved to work’

    Blackadder legend Stephen Fry reckons the nine to five lifestyle is one big con and work isn’t a “natural condition of humanity”David O’Dornan and James Caven19:01, 31 Jul 2025Stephen Fry has given his verdict on AI(Image: Getty Images)Stephen Fry has welcomed the rise of bots and claimed humans are not supposed to work.The actor and TV host believes that we’ve been conned into toiling with nine to five labour as life has evolved. Stephen, 67, said: “We’re going to have to re-examine what work means over the next decade because of AI and so on. And this idea that jobs will be taken and there will be a large percentage now of the population where the mixture of robots and AI will be taking over the manual and indeed the white collar work.“My point is that human beings have evolved over millions of years and we weren’t evolved to work. Work isn’t a natural condition of humanity in the sense of nine to five.”The Blackadder star said humans are “hunter gatherers” who essentially want to feed themselves and said “the big mistake we made was to stop and settle”. He told the Life’s A Beach podcast that alpha males then got castles and became aristocrats and people became forced to work for them.He reckons we have nothing to fear from the robots(Image: Getty Images)Stephen added: “The people who laboured in the fields had just enough calories to keep them labouring in fields – and this idea of work slowly developed. This idea that you develop more and more money, the middle classes grew and grew, get on a train, go to work. This is not what we were created for, animals don’t do that. You know, there isn’t anything holy about work.“You have to remember, whatever you see from AI Now, it’s never going to be this primitive again. So don’t judge anything you see now and go, ‘Oh, I saw it do that, it wasn’t very impressive.’ Well of course it wasn’t. AI Now is the equivalent of a gigantic mobile phone.”It comes after William Shatner revealed he is planning to live forever by creating a hologram-style avatar of himself. The ABBA-style hologram will chat to his loved ones after he dies.Article continues belowThe Star Trek legend, 94, has signed up to a programme run by AI firm StoryFile that lets customers “preserve” their lives, stories and wisdom to pass on to future generations.

    Gavin and Stacey’s Larry Lamb ‘facing death’ in harrowing mortality confession

    Gavin and Stacey actor Larry Lamb has opened up about his own life and facing the concept of dying as he grows older, after the soap star recently retired from acting16:37, 31 Jul 2025Larry Lamb has been thinking about his own death.The actor, best known for starring in EastEnders and Gavin and Stacey, has opened up about his own mortality and revealed that as he approaches his 78th birthday death is increasingly on his mind.Now retired from acting, Larry’s focus is on spending quality time with his loved ones including his four children: TV presenter George Lamb, 45, Vanessa, 56, Eloise, 26, and Eva, 22.Although he mainly lives in Normandy, Larry prioritises seeing his grown-up kids as often as possible. However, as he grows older Larry is becoming increasingly aware of his own mortality.Larry says that his children’s love keeps him going(Image: Jed Cullen/Dave Benett/Getty Images)”The older I get the more I think about how much I love life, but the more I think about how much I love life, the more it makes me think about death,” reports the Mirror.Larry and one of his friends annually visit a graveyard to tidy headstones, an experience that recently stirred thoughts about his own life. He told Daily Mail: “It all started me thinking more about facing it realistically, because sadly, I don’t want to sign up for that bit at all, but in the end you are going to have to.”The actor has turned to poetry to help him cope(Image: BBC/GS TV Productions Ltd/Tom Jackson)However, Larry’s children keep him going and revealed that messages from his kids on special occasions mean more than they will ever know: “So I sat there basking in their love, in the sunshine and just realising how lucky I was, and what makes me, and drives me to keep doing whatever I can, to stay alive for as long as I can to give them a dad for as long as I can.””Somewhere out there, I see it now and again flickering down the end of a long, nicely illustrated tunnel, there’s a sign and it says ‘Way Out’ and I know that’s the way I’m going.”Gavin and Stacey’s final episode aired last Christmas(Image: BBC/Toffee International Ltd./Tom Jackson)The Gavin and Stacey actor said that poetry makes things “much easier to deal with”. He also recently told The Mirror that with age he has become more at ease sharing details of his life.He said: “People are quite surprised, by the way I’m straightforward and honest about my life, what I’ve done and where I’ve been. I’ve gotten well into my 70s now, I’ve become a much more open person. I certainly don’t feel any real restrictions now, you know?””I’m just, kind of, having a great time. I’m happier and happier every day, except when I get up in the morning, I’ve got aches and pains I’ve got to deal with now, but that’s common to everybody my age!
