Good Morning Britain and EastEnders stars join royals for final day of Ascot

A number of celebrities were in attendance at the final day of the Royal Ascot on Saturday - where King Charles and Queen Camilla cheered on the horse racing events Celebrities and Royals mingled together for the 2025 final of the Royal Ascot on Saturday. King Charles III and Queen Camilla were in attendance to oversee an afternoon of high adrenaline - and high stakes - horse racing. His Majesty The King showcased his infamous quintessential style wearing a summer suit - with a pop of colour coming via a pastel yellow waistcoat. The King added a top hat to his look and carried a smart umbrella as the forecast carried a risk of downpours. ‌ Meanwhile the Queen donned a light-weight pleated white dress with a matching white jacket. She completed her look with a white had and white heels - and too was ready for any eventuality on the weather front by carrying an umbrella of her own. ‌ The royal couple arrived via horse drawn carriage and looked in high spirits as they prepared to supervise an afternoon of equestrian sport. Also in attendance was Princess Eugenie, 35, who stood out in a red dress and hat for the day ahead. While a range of celebrities also turned up to watch all the sun-soaked action. Good Morning Britain star Charlotte Hawkins was among those in attendance at the event on Saturday. She sported a floaty, yellow summer dress with a matching coloured hat resting lightly on her head. The TV star has been giving commentary for ITV about the event - and admitted she might sound more knowledgeable when speaking on air than she really is. In a behind-the-scenes post on Instagram, Charlotte revealed how she frantically makes notes about the various VIPs and royals that will be attending the races. She revealed: "Every day, we get sent an email with the carriage list, and we find out who is going to be in each of the carriages. But sometimes, you know, there are some names that we need to explain. Who they are, what they do." ‌ Sharing a look at her cheat sheet, she went on: "I do have this sort of master sheet, which has a whole load of people... And it does become a bit like a craft project, because I get my little handy scissors, I'll snip out who it is, and then I will piece it together on these sheets here. So I'm letting you into all my secrets here." She added: "This is all my own research, but I am actually just double checking that I've remembered exactly who is because there nothing worse than getting your people mixed up and you're talking about something as important as the Royal procession." ‌ Also among the stars in attendance on Saturday was EastEnders icon Rudolph Walker - who has played Patrick Truman on the BBC soap since 2001. The 85-year-old looked dapper in a suit with a cream waistcoat and tie, and a jaunty top hat. Meanwhile, Escape to the Country star Nicki Chapman who looked chic in a delightful pink summer jacket and dress. She matched her outfit with a pink hat and carried a small silver clutch. ‌ Talking fans through her look on Instagram, the TV star said: "Welcome to Chappers catwalk, getting ready for Royal Ascot today. So let's start off with the hat by Laylaleigh. She made it specially for me... it matches the dress. "And then [hair stylist] Nina [Nikol] has done such a beautiful job on the hair, so you don't see any of the paraphernalia keeping it in place. So together, they really complement each other." ‌ She went on to explain that she got her dress from Self Portrait, her bag from LK Bennett, and her shoes from Zara. She then revealed she would be getting some advice later in the day from her mother. Nicki revealed: "Mummy, you're going to give us some good tips. Yes, she is. She's going to stay here and tell us what we should be betting on. But looking forward to today, absolutely." Punters stood to win impressive prizes by betting on the right horse - while those taking part in the sport could win as much as £1 million if they managed to ride their horse to the finish line fastest. ‌ Reviewing the events, Paddy Power notes: "Every renewal is worth at least £110,000, the minimum value of a Group 1 has been increased to £650,000, while the most lucrative contests of the week boast £1,000,000 funds." Shearing details of the day ahead, the betting company added: "Among the attractions are Treanmor and Moments Of Joy going head-to-head in the opening Chesham Stakes at 14:30, while the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee Stakes at 15:40 looks a wide-open contest as Lazzat, Inisherin, Santono Reve, Storm Boy and Topgear all have claims." ‌ Despite the Royal Ascot being a fixture in the society diary, horse racing fans were shocked this week when celebrations descended into bloody violence. Two men came to blows at the grounds on Friday, leaving fans stunned. The Daily Mail reported on the violence, revealing: "A group of men attempt to separate the brawling pair. The group could briefly be heard telling the fighting men: 'Stop, stop, boys.' "While one man, dressed in a grey suit, was dragged away, the other was picked up from the ground with blood gushing from his face. "The bloodied racegoer wiped his visage and then bloodied his cream trousers as he seemingly yelled at the man he had fought only moments before." It is unclear what caused the unexpected burst of violence.

The actress, 41, cut a casual figure a loosely fitted shirt, which she paired with beige trousers, black loafers and sunglasses. She carried her essentials in a tote bag as she enjoyed a glass of wine outside the Washington pub in Belsize Park amid the scorching London heatwave. Olivia, who was speculated to be the inspiration behind ex-boyfriend Harry's hit single As It Was, was joined by her friend Saul for the outing. He cut a laidback figure in a black shirt and trousers, which he teamed with a casual pair of flip-flops. Olivia visited a pub nearby her ex-boyfriend Harry's London neighbourhood as he is reportedly building a £30million super-mansion in neighbouring area Hampstead. Harry is said to be restoring a Grade II-listed former 18th century mansion back to its former glory after it was divided up into two semi-detached homes in the 1950s. Set over four acres in leafy Hampstead, north London, Harry purchased the larger property for £8.8 million in April 2019 and the smaller adjoining house for £4.175million seven months later. Last summer, MailOnline exclusively revealed he had submitted a detailed planning application for his extensive renovation project and was reportedly given the green light earlier this year. Director Olivia was romantically linked to Harry from January 2021 until November 2022 after meeting him on the set of her film Don't Worry Darling. She had previously been engaged and shares two children with her ex-fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, 49 - Otis Alexander, 11, and Daisy Josephine, eight - who she split from in early 2020. Olivia and Harry were reported to have experienced an instant attraction on the Don't Worry Darling set, despite their 10-year age gap. A source told PEOPLE at the time: 'Everyone saw it coming. During breaks, he hasn't been able to stay away and visited her trailer.' By February 2021, the couple were said to be 'very serious' about each other, with a source claiming that Harry was 'very happy' with Olivia. Director Olivia was romantically linked to Harry from January 2021 until November 2022 after meeting on the set of her film Don't Worry Darling (pictured at the premiere with Gemma Chan and Sydney Chandler The relationship even progressed to the point where Olivia had introduced the former X Factor star to her children. A year later, Olivia told Vogue: 'I'm happier than I've ever been. And I'm healthier than I've ever been, and it's just wonderful to feel that.' Harry echoed this sentiment in April of 2022, describing himself as 'really happy'. He also said the relationship had a positive effect on his music and told SiriusXM's The Morning Mash Up that the process of making Harry's House had been the most 'joyous' experience of his career so far. The star is believed to have referenced Olivia in the lyrics of As It Was, namely: 'I don't wanna talk about the way that it was, leave America, two kids follow her, I don't wanna talk about who's doin' it first.' However, their intense work schedules and conflicting priorities were reported to be the cause of their eventual split, which was initially reported to be a 'break'. A source told PEOPLE at the time: 'They have had some issues, but Olivia thought they were gonna work through it all. She is disappointed. It's just a tricky situation, though.' In February 2023, it emerged that their relationship was over for good, with a source claiming that the pair remain good friends.

The Chase's Bradley Walsh admits 'they sadly let me go' from job for heartbreaking reason

Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info Bradley Walsh said 'they sadly let me go' as he opened up about a major setback earlier in his career. The 65-year-old is known to many now as the popular host of ITV quiz show The Chase. Before that he appeared on a host of TV shows, including a two-year spell as Danny Baldwin on Coronation Street. But Bradley's career could have taken a very different turn early on. Aged just 18, in 1979, he signed a professional contract with football team Brentford. His time as a professional footballer saw him going on loan at Barnet as well as having spells with Tring Town, Boreham Wood and Chalfont St Peter. Although, at 22, he was forced to give up his playing career after suffering an ankle fracture. On the Guess Who's Coming to Dinner? podcast in 2024, Bradley opened up about the moment he signed for Brentford as well as being let go by the club. He explained: 'I was playing locally for my mum's hospital team, she worked in a hospital, and I was playing in a match, I'd played for the county and things like that, and I'd been a Watford junior, and then, unbeknownst to me, I'd been watched for about a month. (Image: BBC) 'I'd had a good month and it was the groundsman who was the chief scout at Brentford and he came and watched me and he gave me the opportunity to play on a Monday evening against Southend United and I scored the winning goal. 'That was it, and I signed on for two years. I played about 50 games and I scored two goals.' Bradley says he '100 percent' would have had a 'full football career' if he could. He believed he was 'on the brink' of making it through to the first team before he started suffering with injuries. He added: 'Sadly, I suffered a quite bad injury, I was always recovering from an injury, and that's one of the reasons they let me go in the end. I was just too injury prone.' (Image: sean wilton) After his football career came to an end, Bradley became a bluecoat at Pontins before working as a stand-up comic. It was then he was recruited by what was Anglia Television. His first venture into presenting game shows was with Wheel of Fortune in 1997. In 2020, Bradley fronted a Christmas edition of Blankety Blank. The programme was a hit, watched by 5.26 million people, prompting the BBC to commission a full series. The show sees a panel of six celebrities attempting to help a contestant fill in the blanks and win prizes. This week's famous faces are Sue Perkins, Iain Stirling, Dermot O'Leary, Naga Munchetty, Ellie Simmonds and Layton Williams. Blankety Blank will air tonight (June 21) at 8pm on BBC One.
