This Morning star suffers painful injury after accident during live ITV show
Kate Lawler first found fame when she won Big Brother back in 2002 and has been a television personality ever since
This Morning's Kate Lawler suffered a painful hammock injury while on live TV. The Big Brother winner was working on the ITV show when she was telling viewers about the most recent competition.
She wished fans of the show "good luck indeed" before saying she was going to sit on the hammock which then didn't go quite to plan. Kate fell straight off the hammock as she perched down but that didn't stop her speaking to the camera.
She said "what a better way to enjoy the sunshine" as she scrambled to climb back onto the hammock but to no avail. The end of the clip shows Kate successfully climbing onto the hammock as she proudly announces "I did it".
However, Kate then admits that she had "really hurt" her ankle before asking a crew member to pass her an espresso martini. Meanwhile, presenters Cat Deeley and Ben Shephard can be heard laughing in the background as they watch Kate struggling.
This comes soon after Kate admitted that she had broken the law. She said that she is in her neighbour's bad books after an altercation involving their shed.
The 45-year-old took to Instagram to ask her followers for advice as she said she'd painted the back of the "garish blue" shed black instead. She said that her neighbour had "gone mad" at what she had done despite being the only one who can see the shed.
Kate said: "Why do I always get myself in these situations? I'm in trouble with my neighbour for painting the back of their bright blue, garish, shed a different colour. Won't be doing it again as in hindsight I know I should have asked first, but I didn't think it would be a big deal given that they can't see it?"
Kate went on to ask her followers if she was actually an "a******e" who "needed to buy flowers". She then asked: "It has made me wonder though… Would you be annoyed if you discovered the back of your shed (which you couldn't see) had been painted by the neighbour whose garden backed on to yours?
"Have you had a similar fall out with your neighbour? Basically, am I a******e and should I buy them flowers and a box of milk tray to apologise?"
Responding to her post, fellow This Morning star, Lisa Snowdon, replied: "Oops" with a see-no-evil emoji. While another of Kate's followers said: "Honestly .. you should have asked and she should have said yes" as another joked: "Id love it! ..you're the famous Kate Lawler! That's like having a Banksy on your shed."
Kate first found fame back in 2002 when she appeared on Big Brother. She managed to win the crown of the series as she was announced the winner.
She has previously said that she is glad she applied for the show as she wouldn't have had the career she had without it. Since the win, she has gone on to become a TV presenter, regularly appearing on This Morning.

The triumph of Noel Edmonds
When Deal or No Deal hit our TV screens in 2005, it soon became a national obsession. I remember hotfooting it from the train station to my house, desperate to make sure I didn't miss it. This was the most infatuated I'd been with a TV show since I was child. Noel Edmonds, the show's presenter, was a big reason why: his witty banter with contestants and the show's fictional 'banker' had me – and Britain – captivated. Deal or No Deal was basically just people opening boxes. In most presenter's hands it would have been a bit of a yawn. But Edmonds made it appointment viewing. Edmonds is one of the great figures of British television Now, thank goodness, Edmonds is back: after a seven-year hiatus, he's returning with a new series exploring his life in New Zealand, where he runs an 800-acre estate. ITV's Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, which starts tonight, is full of quirk: he refers to his third wife, whom he met when she was his make-up artist on Deal or No Deal, as his 'earth angel' and explains that all the clocks in their house are fixed at 11.06, the time the couple first met. Edmonds looks amazing for 76 and puts this down to a wellness routine that includes crystal healing, tranquil power, infrared saunas and oxygen chambers. TV hosts are often a bit weird and if you measure Edmonds against more bland presenters like Dermot O'Leary and Ben Shephard, he seems very weird. But perhaps the side of us that now sniggers at Edmonds is uncomfortable with the Edmonds in ourselves. We'd love to be chasing our dreams as enthusiastically as he is. We probably wish we too could be so open about our own idiosyncrasies, so we laugh at his instead. But there's another side of us that can't help but cheer him on. It's this side he appeals to in his new show. 'Maybe people who have had negative thoughts about me personally will see this and see an honesty, a sincerity, a commitment, a positivity,' he says. 'Maybe a few of them will change their views'. Let's hope so. Around the time that his stint on Deal or No Deal came to an end in 2016, people stopped laughing with Edmonds and laughed at him instead. It's not hard to see why: Edmonds cuts a curious figure. There's something of the Lassie dog about his appearance, and the way he's embraced so many unserious TV shows while often taking himself painfully seriously doesn't sit well. Alan Partridge and David Brent both poked fun at him, perhaps an indirect tribute from their creators, who surely took some inspiration from Edmonds. But his kooky personality shouldn't mean that we ignore something that isn't often said about him: he is one of the great figures of British television. Born in Essex, Edmonds started off on radio before moving to TV in the 1980s, where he presented Multi-Coloured Swap Shop, my first favourite programme. The madcap entertainment show was broadcast live for three hours on Saturday mornings, and allowed kids to phone-in and swap unwanted belongings with other children. He also presented Top of the Pops, Top Gear and Telly Addicts, and became the toast of television during the 1980s thanks to his impish energy, which chimed with a more optimistic nation. He was the first British broadcaster to brand himself distinctly from his shows, and he began to sometimes refer to himself in the third person. In the 1990s, he presented Noel's House Party, which was regularly watched by 18 million viewers and was described by a senior corporation executive as 'the most important show on the BBC'. The stunning success of the series, and its bulbous hero Mr Blobby, showed how Edmonds could tap into our sense of silliness, but it was dropped in 1999, when viewing figures started to fall. Edmonds, who'd been omnipresent on the airwaves for nearly three decades, suddenly disappeared. But when he came back six years later it was with something special. In the dark, moody Bristol warehouse where Deal or No Deal was filmed, he raised the tension by increasingly injecting a spiritual edge. He encouraged talk of telepathy, of box numbers having different energies and of a mystical force being at work in the game. You don't get that on Countdown. Wearing tight floral shirts, with his trademark bouffant still going strong, he was as charismatic as ever. As the atmosphere became ever more esoteric, he seemed a bit like an aspiring cult leader who hoped he'd finally found his flock. Where The Weakest Link had a bitchy host in Anne Robinson, Deal or No Deal had one who preached positive thinking to the contestants. A producer said later that the role was 'God given' for Edmonds. The columnist AA Gill wrote that watching Deal or No Deal was 'like putting heroin in your remote control'. That was a ridiculous thing to say: it was far more addictive than that. But the show's success didn't last, so Edmonds took his spiritual message beyond the studio. He claimed that he'd found an electromagnetic pulse machine that 'tackles cancer' and suggested that the disease may be caused by a 'negative attitude', a remark he later apologised for. Edmonds also offered to phone up people's sick pets and give them a motivational talk, even counselling a cat live on air on the Jeremy Vine show on Radio 2. He told the Guardian that the UK's population was at least ten million higher than official figures, saying that he worked this out using a formula he devised called 'the three 'F's' – food, faeces and farewells'. Edmonds went from national treasure to something of a joke. He upped sticks to New Zealand in 2018, settling in Ngatimoti, a small town at the north end of New Zealand's South Island. Many of his fans thought that was it. But now – thank goodness – Edmonds is back. I can't wait to watch him on TV again.

Noel Edmonds' New Zealand life and love of cosmic energy is unveiled in ITV show
Having left showbusiness, Noel Edmonds is enjoying a new life in New Zealand, where he focuses on energy, healing crystals and being in tune with the cosmos... Ever wondered what happened to Noel Edmonds? For decades, he used to rule the radio waves and Saturday night telly, then suddenly he disappeared. Cut to Noel in his swimming trunks standing under an icy cold shower saying gratitudes, with a few sheep wandering around in the background. In 2018, Noel turned his back on showbusiness and moved 11,500 miles away with his wife Liz to New Zealand. 'I think I might have found my paradise,' he says in Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure, which starts tonight (June 20) on ITV at 9pm. The couple have spent the last two years building a business in the quiet town of Ngatimoti. River Haven, with the strapline 'Positively Together', boats a vineyard, coffee cart, general store, and a restaurant and pub, called The Bugger Inn. On their 800 acres of land, Noel also wants to create a wellness sanctuary and even New Zealand's first energy garden, whatever that is. 'I am John Wayne, I am Clint Eastwood!' says Noel, delighted to be holding a power tool. He's clearly still a showman. This three-parter follows the challenges, from being accepted by the locals, to bad weather, the absence of tourists and everyone else going bust. But most fascinating is the insight into Noel's complete dedication to energy and healing. Lying under a quartz crystal healing bed, the 76-year-old talks about his 'light bulb moment' about his health - 'We are all body energy systems'. He dedicates his good health to six things - nutrition and good food, good 'structured' water, pulsed electro magnetism, tranquil exercise, vibe (his term for 'visualisation of body energy;) and meditation. Throw in some cold showers and ice baths (we see him with his shirt off A LOT), saunas and a hyperbaric oxygen chamber three times a week and 'I am rocking,' he says. There is much talk of the matrix and universal energy. The couple even has a big clock permanently set to the specific time Noel and Liz met - she was his make up artist on Deal or No Deal. Noel says: 'Liz was sent to me. She is an Earth angel. The sustenance of her energy is my life blood. You will never pull us apart because we are one. I believe it's a gift from the cosmos. This was the time of my life.' Noel also opens up about the negative press he has received, saying: 'I do actually care what people think about me. Criticism does hurt. I'm hugely sensitive.' And he explains that he left Britain because the country changed so much. He says: 'I missed a quieter country. We're not trees, so we can move.' Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure is airing on ITV tonight at 9pm. There's plenty more on TV tonight - here's the best of the rest.. ALISON HAMMOND'S BIG WEEKEND, BBC1, 8.30pm In the last of this brilliant series, which will surely be commissioned for a second round, Alison spends the weekend with world champion boxer Tony Bellew. Visiting his house in Southport, Alison learns that Tony and his wife, Rachael, are in the middle of big house renovations. He opens up about life after retirement, sharing his struggles with boredom, missing the thrill of fights and the toll his boxing career has taken on his health. Tony reveals that due to the number of punches he's taken to the head, his memory has been affected, and he fears that there may be more health implications to come. He also shows Alison the ropes and puts her through her paces in the ring, revealing that he owes his life to his boxing gym. After taking on Tony on the pads, Alison and Tony head to Goodison Park, not only the home of Tony's beloved football team but the site where he won his world championship title. NOT GOING OUT, BBC1, 9pm For old school Friday night comedy, with a relentless stream of gags, surely this wins every time. Lee Mack, a veteran of the one-liner, plays Lee, who constantly finds himself in ridiculous, farcical situations, causing his wife Lucy (Sally Bretton) to spend the entire episode rolling her eyes. In this instalment (Mack's favourite episode), Lee brings a battered box back from the tip, with no idea what is in it. 'When I was a kid, going through the bins was like flicking through the Argos catalogue,' says Lee as he rips the box open. But gets a shock when he opens it in front of Lucy and finds what looks like a dead body, but actually turns out to be a robotic sex doll. 'It can't be human, the face looks like it's silicon,' says Lucy. 'Have you not seen Love Island?' quips Lee. What follows is the usual caper as Lee starts to realise what he's actually dealing with. EMMERDALE, ITV1, 7.30pm After a restless night, Robert bumps into Victoria outside Keepers. He clearly wants to avoid opening up to her about his time in prison. After she finally sits him down in Keepers for a chat, Vic's left worried that Robert still thinks he can win Aaron back. After Charity makes clear that she's definitely accompanying Sarah to her cancer operation, Sarah eventually expresses her gratitude. Paddy enlists Bob's help as he tries to get Bear to open up about what's burdening him. CORONATION STREET, ITV1, 8pm Debbie breaks the news to Ronnie and Leanne that she needs to cancel the awards ceremony as there's a flood at the hotel, but Leanne offers to host it at Speed Daal. Todd finds Theo in the living room repeatedly snapping the elastic band on his wrist. Millie tells them that living with her mum is stressing her out, but when Theo suggests she stays with them a bit longer, will Todd agree? Dee-Dee and James clash over Laila.

Chris Brown due to enter plea over ‘bottle attack' charge
The American musician, 36, was able to continue with his scheduled international tour after he was freed on conditional bail last month. Brown, accused of causing grievous bodily harm to Abraham Diaw in February 2023, is set to appear at Southwark Crown Court on Friday morning alongside his co-defendant, US national Omololu Akinlolu, 38, for a plea and trial preparation hearing. The Go Crazy singer had to pay a £5 million security fee to the court as part of the bail agreement, which is a financial guarantee to ensure a defendant returns to court and may be forfeited if they breach bail conditions. Brown and Akinlolu have both been charged relating to the alleged assault at the Tape venue in Hanover Square in Mayfair on February 19 2023. Manchester Magistrates' Court heard last month that Mr Diaw was standing at the bar of the Tape nightclub when he was struck several times with a bottle, and was then pursued to a separate area of the nightclub where he was punched and kicked repeatedly. Brown was arrested at Manchester's Lowry Hotel at 2am on May 15 by detectives from the Metropolitan Police. He is said to have flown into Manchester Airport on a private jet in preparation for the UK tour dates. Brown was released from HMP Forest Bank in Salford, Greater Manchester, on May 21. Shortly after being released from prison, Brown posted an Instagram story referencing his upcoming tour. It said: 'FROM THE CAGE TO THE STAGE!!! BREEZYBOWL.'
