The incident occurred at the Albert Schloss bar in Manchester’s Deansgate. Simon appears to say "f*** you" to the two members of staff as they try to calm him down. Before leaving the stage, he says “I will get down.” Simon has been a regular on Corrie since 1989, and co-star Alexandra portrayed his on-screen daughter, Emma Booker. Simon could be seen earlier in the night hugging Alexandra, 28, as she stood alongside her boyfriend Joe Parker. An anonymous source told the publication that Simon was “acting wildly” and getting carried away. They added that the staff “failed to see the funny side” and this annoyed Simon. They commented: “Simon was acting pretty wildly — but more in the sense that he was in high spirits and getting carried away.“He had obviously had a good night and was out with a lot of the Corrie cast and crew.“It was all a bit of a laugh but it’s quite a plush venue and having a topless middle-aged bloke with a pot belly dancing around on stage at the end of the night is not the sort of image they want to project.“They didn’t seem to care that he was a celebrity and Simon looked pretty angry to be stopped in his tracks by bouncers.“He thought the staff had failed to see the funny side and seemed to argue with them.”

Lorraine Kelly was chatting to fellow presenter Andi Peters last week on the subject of representation on-screen. Lorraine then revealed her concerns that she had failed to call out cultural stereotypes perpetuated by Death In Paradise star Kris Marshall, during an interview on her ITV show in 2020.Regretful Lorraine was referring to an interview she'd conducted with 47-year-old Kris.The actor had been living in Guadeloupe for filming sessions for the murder mystery series, which now stars Ralf Little - and he attracted an enormous backlash when he made derogatory comments on the Lorraine show about his son "becoming a bit too Caribbean"."I'm sure he didn't mean it, but he said something about the education system [in the Caribbean] not being fantastic and he wanted to bring his child to the UK," Lorraine recalled during her chat with Andi Peters on the What if? podcast with Lorraine & Rosie."I should have said: 'Hang on a minute, there's some really good schools there, you don't have to do that' - but I let it go."She added: "It was one of those ones where I should've said something but I didn't.That digs away at me."Yet, an understanding Andi replied: "We're all guilty of that.

Kirstie then shared that both of her children received their phones when they were 13. However, she went on to explain in her Mail On Sunday column that she still had “strict rules” when it came to phones. She has enforced the rule that her kids had to leave their phones in the kitchen overnight. They are also not allowed to keep their phones in their bedrooms and must have “phone free days.” The Channel 4 host also explained that she knew her children’s phone passwords. Kirstie said that she can pick up their phones at any point and check what they’ve been up to. She fears that her children will spend too much time indoors, scrolling on their phones. Kirstie went on to say she doesn’t want Bay and Oscar to develop “fear of missing out” when they see what their peers are up to via social media.

Yes!’ to.“It was marvellous.

Loose Women.The star described how “every brand dropped her” as soon as she announced she was leaving the ITV show.Andrea, 52, has spoken candidly about the financial impact of her decision to quite Loose Women. The TV star made the announcement that she was leaving the ITV programme in 2020, explaining that the coronavirus pandemic had caused her to reassess her life. Andrea worked on getting her online membership lifestyle company This Girl Is On Fire off the ground and had other corporate work lined up.However, she admitted that when a number of brands dropped her she felt like her “safety net was gone”.Andrea remembered: “On the day that I announced that I was leaving, every brand dropped me, every single one.“I went from, ‘OK I know I have this amount of money coming in and this much work that will see me through to the next six to eight months’, gone. “Literally overnight it disappeared.That’s how big a deal it is walking away from TV."For me, financially it was a punch in the stomach, because my safety net was gone. “I can’t turn back and I can't change my mind because I still want to do this thing."Andrea went on to point out the irony that the very brands that had dropped her after her Loose Women exit, which she didn't name, were centred around raising women up and improving their confidence. “But actually they didn’t care about that, they only cared about my profile,” she added during her interview with Secure The Insecure podcast. Andrea starred in Loose Women from 2007 all the way up until November 2020.The star recently confessed that she sold her beloved Surrey home with the hopes of spending winters in Florida.Andrea, who now lives in a rented house with third husband, Nick Feeney, and her two children

Let's not go down the Love Island route or that person route'...""Well,"
