Johnny Depp’s lawyer Camille Vasquez had an interesting reaction when asked about the mounting dating rumours between them. Vasquez is among the powerhouse legal team representing Depp in his explosive libel trial with ex-wife Amber Heard. She unexpectedly took centre stage this week due to her brutal grilling of Heard during cross-examination, clips of which have gone viral on TikTok. However, speculation has been rife about the nature of Vasquez’s relationship with Depp, 58, with many suggesting they have become particularly close. While leaving the Fairfax County Courthouse in Virginia on Tuesday, Vasquez was asked point blank about the dating rumours that are swirling on social media. The lawyer was approached by TMZ who asked about the speculation, to which Vasquez laughed and shook her head without offering a verbal answer. Sources previously said there is no truth to the romance rumours and that their relationship is purely professional. It’s also claimed that Vasquez, 37, is ‘happily taken’ and currently dating a Brit who works in real estate, and that they have been ‘in a serious relationship’ for ‘several months’.The insider added that Depp has grown close to his entire team but there is nothing more to it.A clip of Vasquez, which went viral this week and has been liked over 4.5 million times on TikTok, is a montage of the attorney repeatedly objecting to Heard’s legal team’s questioning during the trial. The lawyer attended the University of Southern California and graduated magna cum laude with a BA in communication and political science in 2006.

Dick Van Dyke may be 96 but his humour is still just as sharp after he was spotted wearing a ‘spoonful of sugar’ jumper. The Chitty Chitty Bang Bang actor was spotted out and about in Malibu, California on Wednesday during a busy day of running errands. First stop was a session at the gym, which he was spotted leaving with a pep in his step, explaining exactly how he remains nimble in his golden years. He later met up with his wife Arlene Silver and the two headed to a lunch date, with the actor still rocking his gym attire, which included a grey jumper with ‘spoonful of sugar’ printed on the front alongside a picture. It was, of course, a cheeky nod to Dick’s famous role as jack-of-all-trades Bert in the 1964 children’s classic Mary Poppins, in which the titular character sings the famous song. Dick was in cheerful spirits as he was seen laughing around with others while heading into the restaurant with Arlene. The couple have been married for 10 years and celebrated their anniversary in February. They met in 2007 when Arlene was working at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and Dick took to the stage to present Mary Poppins actress Julie Andrews with a lifetime achievement award. Arlene, a former make-up artist and singer, previously recalled their first meeting and shared: ‘He said, “Hi, I’m Dick”.

This Morning fans were left in shock after guest Beverly Turner commented on the cost of living crisis, which left presenters Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield less than impressed.The show began with the cast on the sofa as they focussed on the top news stories for the day.However, things took a tense turn when Beverly shared her thoughts on the topic of the cost of living.Holly brought up a story about a family who spent time in McDonalds to avoid using electricity, sometimes even brushing their teeth, and Beverly said that she "doesn't think there are that many people" in that situation and urged them to "put it into perspective".Holly quipped: "But someone is. This story hasn't just been made up, this is reality for someone and even if it's just one person, that is terrible."Beverly noted that she sounded "incredibly callous" as she excused her thought process on the "employment shortage".She claimed that the country has "more jobs now that ever before," to which Holly asked her how parents will "pay for childcare".Beverly went on: "If your children are at school all day, I'm sorry, unless you have a mental health problem or a severe illness - in which case I would urge anyone to get help for that - we have cafes, restaurants, shops, everyone is desperate for staff."She claimed that the nation are "queuing like never before" and "everywhere she goes," she "can't get the service".Turner said that there are "jobs out there for people to use" but assured the hosts that she doesn't want to see families living in McDonalds.Phillip then said: "It does sound rather callous because of the mere fact, as Holly said, they're in McDonalds with their kids.

Asian hornets have reignited their invasion of the UK as the first insects of 2022 have been found.The Channel Islands was the first part of the country where an insect was found earlier this week, signalling a "fresh wave" of an invasion coming over from France.Asian hornet project coordinator Francis Russell said the intrusion began when one was caught in Alderney last Tuesday (April 12).A second hornet was then reported dead on the roadside in the village of L’Islet in Guernsey this week while another was caught in a queening trap in a garden on the island on Thursday (April 21).The sightings have prompted a fresh warning to islanders to be vigilant to the fresh wave of invaders.Mr Russell said: "We think these are coming fresh from France. The wind is set to be north-easterly through the next week."We tend to get Asian hornets during north-easterly winds or just afterwards.
