OHMYGOSSIP — Leigh-Anne Pinnock stormed out of a radio interview after being asked about ex-boyfriends – but it was for a prank.
The 25-year-old singer walked out in the middle of the Q&A session when she and her Little Mix bandmates – Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson and Jade Thirlwall – were asked by Capital FM DJ Roman Kemp if they had to talk to their ex-boyfriends before releasing the song, which is believed to be about Perrie’s former fiancé Zayn Malik.
Faking anger Leigh-Anne replied: “Bit inappropriate wasn’t it? It gets on my nerves though, when people ask things like that. Like, why? We’re not here to talk about exes. And I know the song’s called that, but it’s just like … talk about how it’s a positive thing. Not … do you know what I mean?”
Whilst the rest of the ‘Black Magic’ hitmakers played along and tried to calm her down, Leigh-Anne told them to carry on the interview without her.
She said: “It’s just annoying though isn’t it? Just do it without me because I’m … whatever.”
Perrie then said: “I think she’s having a bad day.”
Roman, 23, was shocked and asked if he should apologise and check if Leigh-Anne “was alright”.
To which mischievous Perrie answered: “She probably won’t want to talk to you.
However, Roman’s worries quickly turned to embarrassment when Leigh-Anne returned with a choir he realised he’d been had by the girls and his friend, fellow Capital FM DJ Marvin Humes.
The joke comes after the ‘Salute’ singers were recently asked if 23-year-old Zayn – who dumped Perrie by text message in August 2015 – was warned about their new single before its release.
Perrie, also 23, insisted: “No.”
Whilst 25-year-old Jesy added: “We don’t think he deserves a warning! He’ll just have to wait to see.”
‘Shout Out to My Ex’ contains lyrics seemingly about Zayn such as: “Hope she gettin’ better sex, Hope she ain’t fakin’ it like I did, babe.
“Took four long years to call it quits, Forget that boy I’m over it.
“Guess I should say thank you, For the ‘hate yous’ and the tattoos, Oh baby I’m cool by the way, Ain’t sure I loved you anyway.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jennifer Lopez allegedly dumped Casper Smart because he cheated on her.
The 47-year-old singer called time on her five-year relationship with the 29-year-old dancer back in August, in what was claimed to be an “amicable” break-up.
Originally, it was speculated that the ‘Shades of Blue’ actress – whose nickname is J. Lo – broke things off with Casper because he failed to attend a charity dinner with her, but now an accusation of infidelity has been made against Casper.
A source told People: “She kicked him out because he cheated on her and he got caught. It happened two years ago, and he promised he would never do it again and once he did, she was done.
“The truth is, he was cheating and now that it’s over he’s been begging to come back.”
However, Casper – who previously was separated from the ‘On The Floor’ singer in 2014 – isn’t giving up on his relationship easily, and has been doing “everything he can” to win J.Lo’s love back.
The source added: “He’s been doing everything he can to get back together, working on himself and posting on his Instagram saying that ‘Life is Good’ and showing off his new leg tattoo that says ‘You must embrace the darkness to see the light.'”
However, it doesn’t look as though Casper is going to change his ways any time soon, as he’s recently been spotted with “bikini-clad dancers” in Mexico.
The source said: “He says he’s changed and that he is a new man but recently, on a video shoot for Wisin in Mexico, he was posting videos with bikini-clad dancers and not acting like a guy trying to remedy old habits. He was kicked to the curb not because he did not attend a party with J. Lo but because he was caught having parties of his own. No one has time for that, especially J. Lo.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Victoria Beckham says her daughter has a “better social life” than her.
Harper Beckham is only five years old, but her 42-year-old mum says she’s “very sociable” and has “a lot of friends”.
The fashion designer also has three sons, Brooklyn, 17, Romeo, 14, and Cruz, 11, with her husband David Beckham and it makes her very proud to see them all “happy” and “confident”.
She told the November issue of Vogue Australia magazine: “[Harper] works very hard at school and is very sociable, so has a lot of friends. She has a better social life than I do! My children are all very happy and that’s the most crucial thing – they are happy, confident and secure in themselves.”
Victoria’s latest comments come after she admitted she doesn’t have much of a “social life” because her four children are her “first priority” in life.
The former Spice Girl said: “[I don’t] have a social life. My four children and David are my first priority. When there’s a play on or a parent/teacher meeting, I’m there. David and I are rarely away at the same time. We do the homework, the bath time and the bed time. Paying someone to do those things for you to make your life easier isn’t wrong but they’re important to me.”
And whilst Victoria can’t say for sure if her children will follow in her footsteps and get involved with her self-titled fashion label, the kids are showing an interest in her line of work and share her passion for style.
She said previously: “Brooklyn wants to be a photographer, he loves art. Obviously he shot the fragrance campaign for Burberry, so maybe he’ll be a fashion photographer.
“Romeo enjoyed working with Burberry too, and Harper and Cruz are too young to tell, but they love fashion.
“They all take a lot of pride in the way they look. When we go out for dinner as a family, they all put their little looks together. Cruz spends a lot of time making sure his hair is just right.”

OHMYGOSSIP — John Legend’s secret to having a happy family is to “enjoy” every moment he spends with his loved ones.
The 37-year-old musician and his wife Chrissy Teigen have been parents to their baby daughter Luna for six months, and the ‘All of Me’ hitmaker says the trick to making things work is to “go out of your way” to make each other happy.
He said: “You just have to try and be with each other as much as you can, cherish every moment. Enjoy each moment. Go out of your way, do fun things together as a couple and as a family. And we try to do as much of that as we can while still working and you know maintaining our careers.”
And for little Luna, the couple – who married in 2013 – aim to make “every day” easy for her, as they want to keep her “stress-free and joyous”.
The ‘Love Me Now’ singer added: “We just try and make every day as great as we can for her, help her grow into the kind of human we want her to be, and try and make every moment as stress-free and joyous for her as possible.”
With his daughter at the age where she may start forming her first words, the ‘Tonight’ musician says he is “excited”, and even though she’s likely to say “dada” before she says “mama”, he doesn’t view it as a competition.
Speaking to ‘Entertainment Tonight’, the musician said: “It is really difficult for them to form the ‘m’ as easily as they form the ‘d,’ so I am not really making it seem like it is some kind of victory for me that she can say the easier thing, but either way I will just be excited when she starts talking.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sir Cliff Richard suffered “episodes of depression” after being accused of sexual abuse.
The 76-year-old singer was subject to a 22-month long investigation by South Yorkshire Police in 2014 when allegations were made against him by four men who claimed the star assaulted them between 1958 and 1983, and the ‘Devil Woman’ hitmaker – who eventually had the charges against him dropped – has now said the process left him with “anxiety and illness”.
He told an audience of MPs and peers on Monday (17.10.16): “As you would expect, I had trouble carrying on with life as normal. The stress was physical and not just mental.
“Over the course of the 22 months of the investigation, I suffered from episodes of depression.
“As well as my faith, I am fortunate to have an incredible support network which, I have no doubt, I could not have done without.
“But I felt as though I was in a hole and I had no means of escape.
“It was the first thing that I thought of in the morning, and the last at night.”
And the ‘Summer Holiday’ star – who is campaigning for those accused of sex crimes to remain anonymous until they are charged – believes the way the investigation was handled will “forever” taint his reputation.
He added: “Had I not been ‘named’ worldwide I feel I would still have been able to look people in the eye and not feel afraid that they might be thinking that there is ‘no smoke without fire’. Instead, I fear I will forever be tainted by the lurid and intrusive coverage I received.”
Whilst the ‘We Don’t Talk Anymore’ singer admits his ordeal would likely have been terrible regardless, he insisted that the way his suspect status was made public “made it all the worse” for him to deal with.
He said during the private meeting: “It takes a horrible toll on you. Some of this was, of course, down to the fact of being under investigation itself, but the fact that the investigation and my status as a suspect had all been made public, and in such an extreme and sensational way, made it all the worse.”
And Cliff – who is now suing South Yorkshire Police for naming him in the investigation, as well as the BBC for broadcasting the raid of his Berkshire home live on television – hopes his campaign will help others in the future.
He added: “Anonymity as a person under investigation, prior to charge, would definitely have benefited us all.
“I have spent 75 years living as honourable and as honest a life as I can, but I am all too conscious that some of the mud will stick.
“I sincerely hope that I can play a part in ensuring that no-one else has to suffer in the same way that I have.”
It is argued that in naming abuse suspects, victims are encouraged to come forward and report their own ordeals.

OHMYGOSSIP — Rose McGowan has urged Hollywood to “be brave”.
The 43-year-old actress claimed last week she had been raped by a studio executive, an incident she said was an “open secret” in the film industry, and has now called on those in power to “take a stand” and stop working with “predators” and “rewarding sociopaths”, though she didn’t directly address her own ordeal.
In an open letter shared in a Twitter post that began “Dear Hollywood…”, Rose wrote: “To the women and men in the entertainment industry who know exactly whom and what I am talking about.
“Do not work with those you know to be offenders or you are no better than they. Take a stand.
“You are culpable for your actions. Stop rewarding sociopaths. Every time you sanction abhorrent behaviour, you are aiding and abetting a crime, that makes you no better than the criminal.
“How many more stories do you have to hear before you do the right thing and stop rewarding men that are predators?”
The ‘Charmed’ star branded those who continue to work with such people as “cowards” and urged them to think about their own “personal legacy” and take a moral stand.
She added: “Why are you so cowardly that you would take the softer, easier way out?
“I can tell you this, your soul is a blighted one if you do so. Your personal legacy, the very fabric of your being, is at stake, so fight for it. I know you have it in you to be better. I know you have it in you to break free from the bonds of secrecy. So do it.”
Rose revealed her rape ordeal on Twitter last week as she shared her contribution to the trending hashtag “#WhyWomenDontReport”.
In a series of tweets, she wrote: “a (female) criminal attorney said because I’d done a sex scene in a film I would never win against the studio head. #WhyWomenDontReport
“because it’s been an open secret in Hollywood/Media & they shamed me while adulating my rapist. #WhyWomenDontReport
“Because my ex sold our movie to my rapist for distribution #WhyWomenDontReport
“It is time for some goddamned honesty in this world. (sic)”
The hashtag was designed to create awareness as to why women don’t always report rape cases, and was originated out of the backlash received after continuing allegations of inappropriate sexual behaviour and comments made by US Presidential candidate Donald Trump.

OHMYGOSSIP — Azealia Banks is feeling “tremendously distraught and disheartened” following an alleged altercation with Russell Crowe.
The ‘212’ hitmaker accused the ‘Gladiator’ star of “choking” and “spitting at” her after he threw her out of his hotel room in Beverly Hills at the weekend, and following reports she has made an official complaint to police, her spokesperson says she is currently “processing the brutality and abuse” she has been subjected to before speaking out publicly.
The representative, Raymani, tweeted: “A statement has been issued regarding my client Azealia Banks, ‘Azealia is tremendously distraught and disheartened.
“She is shell shocked and will speak out on the incident once she has had time to process the brutality and abuse she was unjustly subjected to.'(sic)”
Despite saying Azealia isn’t ready to speak out yet, the 25-year-old star has taken to Facebook and vowed to bring Russell, 52, to justice.
She wrote in a now-deleted post: “The truth will be out on Wednesday. I am 100% innocent in this matter. No matter how you feel about me no person deserves to be handled that way. And I will not be threatened or chastised into keeping quiet.
“This man MUST and WILL be held accountable for his actions. This is the most expensive mistake he will ever make in his life.”
Russell is believed to have thrown Azealia out of his suite after she threatened to “stab” his guests in the throat.
Sources previously explained the trouble began when the ‘Ice Princess’ singer laughed at Russell’s music selection and called him and at least one other guest “boring white men”.
A female friend then jumped to their host’s defence and suggested the rapper be quiet, prompting an astonishing tirade from Azealia.
She allegedly said: “You would love it if I broke my glass, stabbed you guys in the throat, and blood would squirt everywhere like some real Tarantino s**t.”
She is also reported to have used the n-word a number of times, but her host remained “surprisingly calm”.
When Azealia reached for her glass and raised it as if she were about to throw it, the ‘Noah’ star grabbed her in a bear hug and carried her out of the suite, before calling hotel security to remove her from the grounds.
Four guests are believed to have given statements claiming the ‘Gimme a Chance’ star was behaving “erratically” and confirming she was the one using racist terms, but the rapper took to her Facebook account to accuse the ‘Water Diviner’ actor of choking her, throwing her out of his room and spitting on her.
In a now-deleted post, she wrote: “To recap my night, I went to a party at Russell Crowe’s suite, at which he called me a n****r, choked me, threw me out and spat at me.
“Last night was one of the hardest nights of sleep I’ve had in a long time.
“The men in the room allowed it to happen. I feel terrible today.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Diddy bought 100 shots of tequila for fans at Malibu’s Rockwell nightclub on Saturday (15.10.16).
The 46-year-old music mogul – whose real name is Sean Combs – attended the celebrity hotspot with fellow rapper Nas after he presented him with the Icon award at the Revolt Music Conference Gala.
The ‘I’ll Be Missing You’ hitmaker performed on stage throughout the night and partied on until the early hours of Sunday morning (16.10.16), according to the New York Post’s PageSix column.
Diddy’s hardcore night out comes after he said he “fantasises” about being “calm and sophisticated”.
The hip hop star keeps his three Grammy Awards in a special “Sunday room” in his home and dreams about spending relaxing days doing ordinary tasks with his statuettes looking down on them.
He previously said: “[It’s] this room that just feels intimate, that just feels like it would be the perfect place to do a photo shoot reading the New York and L.A. Times on a Sunday, so I call it my Sunday room.
“I don’t get to use it a lot, but I fantasise a lot about myself being calm enough to sit down and read the papers and have some coffee and just act really sophisticated and look up at my Grammys. I just haven’t gotten to doing that part of it yet.”
Before a gig, Diddy likes to give himself a motivational talk.
Asked how he prepares for a show, he said: “I basically just look in the mirror, tell myself that I’m gonna go out and put on a great show.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Caroline Flack is dating British artist Blue Logan.
The former ‘X Factor’ host – who has been romanticly linked to Harry Styles and Olly Murs in the past – is “so happy” with her new beau and is “proud’ of his work, which she has been posting all over social media.
A source told The Sun newspaper: “Caroline is so happy with Blue. They’ve been enjoying each other’s company and she’s very proud of his work as an illustrator, not to mention how handsome she finds him. “Blue has completely won over her friends. They all approve.”
The 36-year-old beauty was left heartbroken at the end of 2014 when her boyfriend Jack Street, who she had dated for 18 months, allegedly cheated on her with ‘Glee’ actress Dianna Agron.
A source said at the time: “It was hard for her to find out about Dianna – especially as Jack was the man she thought she was going to marry.”
The pair got back together in the summer of 2015 before breaking up for good shortly after.
Caroline previously said that she hoped to find love in a traditional way.
The blonde beauty was convinced she’d never find a boyfriend via the dating app Tinder because she prefers to meet and get to know people face-to-face rather than fall for someone online.
She previously explained: “Loads of my friends are on Tinder and I’ll have a play with theirs, but I’m more of a traditionalist.
“I like the art of conversation, plus it’s a chemistry thing. But never say never. I just want to be happy either way, but I’m quite content at the moment… just me and my cat, Waffle.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Jonathan Cheban has started his own food service company called Prepped Delivery.
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star – who is known for being a foodie – has launched a new business which sends fresh meals to customers in air-tight packets.
Of the new venture, he said: “It’s really special. It’s almost like getting a gift every week.”
The 42-year-old former publicist wanted to do something that was both “gourmet and “accessible” to all.
He told People magazine: “People were always asking me about where to go and what to eat.
No one eats at restaurants as much as I do. So I wanted to do something gourmet, but accessible for everyone.”
The former ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ star also said he was inspired by Kim Kardashian West’s husband Kanye, who has been offering him advice on his new project, and his branding for his Yeezy fashion brand.
He said: “I get so inspired by people like Kanye [West], who are so focused on the way things look.
“I’ve been learning a lot by watching him talk about branding and packaging. I love his simplicity, but the fact that there is still a strong message.”
Meanwhile, Jonathan insists he is constantly “working his butt off” and that his life doesn’t revolve around his best friend Kim, 35.
He added: “People always ask me, ‘What do you do all day?’ Some think I do nothing but drive a Bentley around and hang out with Kim [Kardashian West]. But I’ve been working my butt off for 20 years. And I’m still going.”

OHMYGOSSIP — WWE stars Paige and Alberto Del Rio have got engaged.
The 24-year-old wrestler – real name Saraya-Jade Bevis – popped the question in the ring at a rival World Wrestling Council event on Sunday (16.10.16).
Paige said of the surprise proposal: “I don’t think he saw it coming that it was me proposing.
“It’s supposed to be [right in the middle of the ring], right? We’re a wrestling family couple.”
The busty brunette also took to Instagram and gushed about the 39-year-old Mexican wrestler and how “unbreakable” their bond is.
Alongside a picture of her on one knee in the ring, she wrote: “When you have something that’s unbreakable. You keep it.
“Never have I loved someone so much in my life. Thanks for the love you give me. You’re my world.”
The couple’s happy news comes after Paige was suspended from competing in the sport for 60 days earlier this month for violating the company’s “talent wellness policy”.
A statement posted on WWE.com read: “WWE has suspended Saraya-Jade Bevis (Paige) for 60 days effective immediately, for her second violation of the company’s talent wellness policy.”
The wellness policy aims to make sure that every WWE star is fit and healthy, by checking things such as substance abuse and drug testing.
A definition of the policy on the company’s website reads: “The Substance Abuse and Drug Testing Policy prohibits the use of drugs by WWE talent for other than a legitimate medical purpose pursuant to a valid prescription from a licensed and treating physician.”
The two-time Divas Champion was previously suspended for violating the same policy back in August, along with Alberto.

OHMYGOSSIP — Lady Gaga finds it difficult to write music when she gets caught up in “negative thoughts”.
The ‘Perfect Illusion’ hitmaker is gearing up to release her eagerly-anticipated new album ‘Joanne’ – which is a tribute to her father’s sister, who died from lupus when she was just 19 – and has explained she finds it hard to work when all she can think about is her “own trauma”.
In an interview with The New York Times, the 30-year-old pop beauty said: “I get blocked by my own trauma sometimes.
“The darkness, the loop of negative thoughts on repeat, clamours and interferes with the music I hear in my head. When I’m making music, I can hear all the parts, all the instruments. I can hear what it should be.”
While it is challenging for the ‘Born This Way’ singer to write about personal subjects, she says it’s also important to find “clarity” and become mindful.
Talking about her writing process, she explained: “You start to get into a zone — what I would also describe as a mindfulness. You have to be aware that there are unwanted things coming in, but there is clarity in there, too, and you have to find it.”
Gaga – whose real name is Stefani Germanotta – previously explained that each of the tracks on her follow-up to 2014’s ‘Artpop’ is personal to her.
She said: “I’m not sure I’d go into detail about it, but Joanne gave me strength to live the rest of the life she didn’t get to have.
“I guess, I think, if I can heal one person, maybe I can heal two, five, ten million. If I could just heal my dad, then maybe [I] might heal someone else.”
Meanwhile, the blonde beauty – who is well-known for her outrageous fashion sense – revealed she is keen for people to play closer attention to her lyricism on the new album, rather than paying attention to peripheral issues, like what she’s wearing.
Gaga said: “It becomes about everything else, and that was what I [once] wanted. But if I wear a black T-shirt and black pants every day, [people] might listen to what I write.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West’s Paris robbers were inside her apartment for 49 minutes prior to holding her at gunpoint.
A police source claims the group of men, who raided the 35-year-old beauty’s apartment in the French capital and stole $10 million worth of jewellery, “knew the security code” to the property.
The insider said: “They acted like they had all the time in the world. It is quite incredible that they managed to hang about for so long without anyone calling us.”
They also state that three of them arrived at 2.18am and CCTV footage showed it wasn’t until 3.07am that the five of them departed the building.
Talking about three of the suspects, who wore dark clothing, the insider told Us Weekly magazine: “They clearly knew the security code of the main doors, and let themselves in without any problem at all.”
The ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star’s lawyer says Kim is “very calm and very determined” to help catch those responsible.
Jean Veil said: “She is very calm and very determined over a matter that was particularly violent.
“If she is summoned to France. she will come to France, but judges also have the possibility of moving [to the United States].”
Meanwhile, it was previously reported that the fivesome used a decoy to escape.
Police investigating the theft reportedly discovered a tiny gemstone close to the residence, which they thought might have been used to make police “believe that they were amateurs”.
A police official previously told the publication: “They wanted us to believe that they were amateurs, but all the real clues point to them being extremely sophisticated professionals. There is no way a gang like this would drop stuff and fall off bicycles — all that was done for any cameras that might be in the area. It is far more likely that they played around on bikes for a few minutes after stealing the jewels, and when they still had their masks on, before they all got into a van and disappeared.”
Kim – who has children North, three, and Saint, 10 months, with husband Kanye West – is still very nervous following the robbery and has been unable to be alone since returning to the US hours after the raid.
A source previously said: “Kim is completely shell-shocked and has told her family that her life has changed forever. She is jumping at the smallest sounds and can’t be alone at the moment.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Azealia Banks has reportedly filed a police report after accusing Russell Crowe of allegedly choking her at his hotel suite.
The ‘212’ rapper is believed to be unimpressed that the ‘Noah’ actor has failed to apologise for his behaviour in front of 10 guests, who were there to have dinner and listen to music, and so the 25-year-old star decided to contact the Beverly Hills police department.
A source told TMZ that the 52-year-old actor thought there was no reason for him to say he is sorry because he hasn’t done anything wrong.
Russell is believed to have thrown Azealia out of his suite after she threatened to “stab” his guests in the throat.

OHMYGOSSIP — Phil Collins used to fall over in front of his children after drinking spirits in the morning.
The ‘In The Air Tonight’ hitmaker – who started drinking heavily following the collapse of his nine-year marriage to Orianne Cevey in the late 2000s – has opened up about the extent of his alcohol addiction and how he came “very close to dying” from binging on booze whilst drowning his sorrows in front of the television.
Speaking at a press conference at the Royal Albert Hall today (17.10.16) hosted by Jools Holland to announce his ‘Not Dead Yet: Live 2017 Tour’, Phil explained: “I would never drink during the day because I had a show to do. And after the show, I couldn’t stay up too late because I had to get up in the morning and do another show.
“It’s when everything stopped that I thought, okay, I’ll turn on the television, watch a bit of cricket, have a couple of drinks.
“And then before you know it, within months you’re drinking vodka from the fridge in the morning and falling over in front of the kids, you know.
“But it was something I lived through, and I was lucky to live through it and get through it. I was very close to dying.”
The 65-year-old musician’s drinking problem saw him hospitalised with acute pancreatitis.
He previously shared: “My organs were kind of f****d. It was spirits, corrosive stuff.”
However, in an extract from his autobiography ‘Not Dead Yet’, Phil – who has two sons Nicholas, 15, and Matthew, 11, with Orianne – said that alcoholism hit him at that stage in time because he had too much free time.
He writes: “It took me until the age of 55 to become an alcoholic. I got through the heady 1960s, the trippy 1970s, the imperial 1980s, the busy 1990s. I was retired, content, and then I fell. Because I suddenly had too much time on my hands.”
Phil – who also has Lily, 27, Simon, 40, and adoptive daughter Joely, 44, from two previous marriages – has come out of retirement after 10 years to announce his next run of gigs, including a five-night residency at London’s Royal Albert Hall next June.
He will then head to Cologne, Germany, and Paris, France, for two dates apiece before having “a lie down”.

OHMYGOSSIP — Jane Seymour isn’t ready to retire.
The 65-year-old actress – who shot to fame as a Bond Girl in ‘Live and Let Die’ in 1973, alongside Sir Roger Moore – has no plans to stop working because there is still “so much more” she wants to achieve despite having a career spanning more than four decades.
She said: “There’s still so much to do. I’m always up for doing more so I’m not retiring anytime soon. I’ve been lucky to remain working all these years.”
The ‘Fifty Shades of Black’ star – who is currently filming for a new 007 documentary called ‘Becoming Bond’ – credits meditation, spending time with her grandchildren and living in sunny Malibu for being able to lead a hectic working life.
Asked how she manages to do so much, the Golden Globe winner – who has three grandchildren – told the Daily Express newspaper: “I meditate. balance it all by spending weekends at home with my grandkids. It helps that I live in Malibu across from the beach so being at home feels like I’m on holiday.”
Meanwhile, the flame-haired beauty insists she’s never had any cosmetic work done and her secret to looking youthful is hanging around with people much younger than her.
Speaking about positive comments shared on social media about her looks, she said: “It’s always flattering for a woman to be told she’s attractive.
“I had no idea I got that feedback on Twitter. I’ve never had cosmetic surgery and hang out with people half my age – mostly my adult children’s friends who have become mine. My mother did it too. It keeps you young and works a treat.”
Jane – who has four grown-up children from two different marriages – previously said her grandkids “keep her young” and admitted becoming a grandmother for the first time was “almost more magical” than having her own children.
She shared: “I love having my grandchildren over. I think playing with the grandchildren keeps me young. They have endless energy, and it’s so much fun.
“you get so suckered in the minute that first grandchild comes along.
“It almost seems more magical than when you had your own children!
“They make me realise that I have to stay healthy because I can’t wait to show them the world!”
