Strictly star Ellie Taylor reveals the horrors of holidaying with kids - and the moment she dreads at waterparks

The thought of travelling from the UK to Australia with a toddler in tow sounds like most people's idea of hell. So spare a thought for Strictly Come Dancing star Ellie Taylor, 41, who has done the '36-hour, door-to-door' journey, there and back twice, with her 18-month-old son, Rhino – and is planning a third trip to Sydney later this year. 'My husband's Australian, so we visit quite a lot,' she explains in an exclusive interview with MailOnline Travel. 'It's always gorgeous and sunny, and there are lots of beaches and fabulous food, fabulous weather and family, which is great. 'I love Sydney, because I've got a lot of fond memories there, and it's an amazing city. It's the best city in the world. 'Whenever I go there, I think, why on earth does anyone ever leave? I always say to my husband, 'Why did you leave? You fool!' But, while Ted Lasso actress Ellie loves Sydney, getting there is another story. She says: 'My six-year-old, Valentina, is absolutely fine. Once she hit about three, she was as good as gold, but the baby years are awful. 'We went when my son was four months old, and when he was a year old. 'Door to door, the journey is about 36 hours, and I think my life expectancy dropped by that many years! 'It's just so full on, and it's not their fault; they're just babies, and they don't want to sit there for that long. 'And you have to share a seat with them - and it's just all awful. 'But it could have been worse. I think I'd ramped it up in my head, like it was going to be so unbelievably horrific - and nothing could ever be that bad.' She adds: 'I think we might go again at some point this year, but he's mobile now, and he walks, so may God have kindness on the entirety of that plane, because they're going to know my child pretty well!' But the flights to Australia haven't been the worst part of holidaying since starting a family. For Ellie, her worst holiday was when she was heavily pregnant with Rhino in Sardinia. 'It was freakishly hot,' she recalls. 'It was one of those heat waves in Europe, and around 45 degrees. 'And this beautiful resort was quite barren and open, with no shade. 'I was just so uncomfortable and massive and then we found out the hotel pools were salt water, so my daughter refused to put her head under the water or swim in the pool. 'Just getting to the beach in the heat with a whinging four year old felt like some sort SAS, military ordeal 'It was an endurance test for a week, and I was very glad to come home!' These days, Ellie and her family enjoy staying in child-friendly hotels in Majorca, which she says is 'the absolute top notch place to go'. 'The food is amazing, the weather's beautiful and it's only a couple of hours from London on the plane,' she adds. Another family favourite for Ellie's clan is Centreparcs ('for our sins') - but she dreads getting recognised while her kids are on the waterslides. She says: 'As a woman who's occasionally on telly, I dread someone coming up to me while I'm standing in a queue to go down a flume, in my swimming costume, a bit soggy, having been up all night with a baby. 'That'll be like my community service.' But Ellie's not fussy when it comes to hotels generally. 'I love any hotel because it means I'm not at home, so I sleep through the night,' she says. 'Even a Premier Inn in Luton would be a mini break for me! 'As long as I have a nice, big, fat bed, loads of cushions and a blackout blind – plus free biscuits with the kettle – I'm happy.' Ellie has partnered with Intrepid Travel to 'pitch' a proposed new travel show, Travel Ann, following the adventure travel group finding almost half of Brits (48%) are 'exhausted' by the current format of most TV travel shows being fronted by men. She says: 'Intrepid is trying to get more women on travel shows, because it's just so disproportionate at the moment, and we want a change in how we view travel on telly. Only 23 per cent of travel shows in the last year have been female-fronted, and 80 per cent of holiday-making decisions, in the UK, are made by women, so there's such a big appetite for it.'

Jack Vidgen stuns fans as he announces upcoming Australia tour - after admitting he lost his love for singing: 'So glad to see you're performing again'

Jack Vidgen sent fans wild on Friday when he revealed he would be making a guest appearance on the Bring Back My Wives tour. The drag show will appear in Penrith on July 11 and Sydney on July 12 with the Australia's Got Talent singer set to join the cast on stage. The singer, 28, who previously admitted he lost his love for singing after being 'traumatised' by the music industry, shared the news to Instagram. He posted a gallery of posters which included a glamorous photo of his face and details about the dates and venue. 'SPECIAL GUEST ANNOUNCEMENT. Sydney & Penrith… are you READY?!' he wrote. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. Ahhhh SO excited! Getting to perform, hang out with some of my fav housewives, and kiki with some of my favourite drag queens!! DREAM night x,' Jack continued. 'Goudie Events is thrilled to announce that the incredible Jack Vidgen will be joining the cast of Bring Back My Wives! Catch him live: Panthers Penrith – Friday 11 July, Enmore Theatre – Saturday 12 July. Tickets are flying – don't miss out!' Fans flocked to the comments to express their excitement over seeing Jack perform once again. 'Jack!!! So glad to see you are performing again!!!' one person wrote. 'Fantastic news Jack I'm so excited for you honey,' another commented. A third said, 'This is awesome,' as someone else wrote: 'Yes DIVA!' It comes after Jack revealed in November 2023 the heartbreaking reason he stepped away from the musical spotlight in recent years. In a Q&A with fans on Instagram, the musician said he was 'traumatised' by the music industry and no longer felt comfortable singing on social media. 'I'm kind of traumatised by the industry and really lost my love for it all again,' he confessed. 'It's slowly coming back though. I've booked some exciting gigs/shows for next year that I'm looking forward to working on.' Jack added: 'I'm excited to bring the glam and performing together.' He also said he's looking forward to sharing his musical expertise by moving into coaching. Jack shot to fame after winning the fifth season of Australia's Got Talent in 2011. After bowing out of the spotlight for a few years, he returned to prominence in 2019 as a contestant on The Voice. He made it all the way to the semi-finals before being eliminated. Jack has released a number of singles since then, including the Eurovision track I Am King, I Am Queen. In September 2023, the singer opened up about his mental health struggles, which led to him taking a hiatus from social media. 'I've been reflecting a lot over these past 5 weeks about what's important to me and am going through a bit of a life shift right now,' Jack wrote. 'I want to get back to my first love, which is singing.

Celebrity nudity has gone too far

Am I the only one bored of nipples? From red carpets to album covers, baring it all seems to be all the rage. Over the years hems have gotten shorter, fabrics sheerer and underwear swapped for stick-on patches. At this point, what would really shock on a red carpet is long sleeves and a covered ankle. Sex sells – a story as old as time. So perhaps it's unsurprising how much nudity and sexuality is on display from movie stars and pop singers. But the response to what kind of nakedness is appropriate is interesting. Just a matter of years ago, female sexual nudity was not just condemned by priests and prudes but by feminist preachers, too. Magazines may have stopped publishing Page 3 girls, but now they're covered in semi-nude celebrities, while social media is awash with them. Last week, Sabrina Carpenter covered Rolling Stone naked, long hair covering her modesty, in tandem with a controversial cover for her forthcoming album Man's Best Friend which appears to show her on all fours at a man's feet, like a dog, with his hand pulling her hair. Meanwhile Liz Hurley celebrated her 60th birthday by posting pictures 'in her birthday suit' – as Gwyneth Paltrow did when turning 50. Kanye West's wife, Australian fashion designer Bianca Censori, attended the 2025 Grammys wearing a completely see-through mini dress without any underwear at all. This year the Cannes Film Festival went as far as to ban the 'naked dress' from the red carpet for 'decency reasons', in reaction to the number of celebrities attending the festival in little more than a g-string and some taffeta, with their breasts fully exposed. Women such as Rose MacGowan have called this kind of dressing an act of 'empowerment', while Carpenter supporters have praised her for 'subverting the male gaze' by reflecting it so brazenly. But are these powerful feminist statements or have we lost all sense of public decency? What's more, when it comes to celebrity nudity, the double standards are glaring. Who doesn't remember the picture of Kim Kardashian's bottom balancing a glass of champagne for a Paper Magazine cover that reportedly 'broke the internet'? What was so shocking about that episode wasn't that we were gazing at yet another picture of one of the Kardashians' backsides, but the fact that Labour MP and queen of the feminist morality police, Harriet Harman, praised it on breakfast television. In an interview with Good Morning Britain, Harman said the Kardashian women possess 'a kind of bravery and a pioneering… spirit to them'. But what about all those years of arguing that sexualised women should be banned from the shelves of corner shops and that the pornification of women was a disgrace worthy of legal action? In her argument, Harman seemed to suggest that Page 3 girls, in their working-class ignorance, had no idea what they were doing or why they were doing it. But the Kardashians, one of the world's richest celebrity families, 'are in control of their own agenda'. The middle-class war on working-class women's bodies was yet again evidenced in 2018, when 'walk-on girls' Charlotte Wood and Daniella Allfree were axed by darts bosses after pressure to end the 'sexist' practice of glamorous women at events. In a now infamous episode of This Morning, feminist writer Sally Howard told Allfree and Wood that they were 'demeaning' to women, and should be prevented from glamour modelling for the feminist cause. Perhaps the flak she got for her condescending nonsense hurt enough to make her think twice, but a cursory google shows that Howard has yet to comment on any of the other public appearances of sexualised women. The message is clear: some boobs are 'demeaning', and some are 'empowering'. These days, the darts girls look demure in comparison to what goes on. Tight dresses and high heels were about as racy as they got – in comparison to female celebrities today who seem to be allergic to bras and knickers. The fashion world might have been unsettled when organisers at the Cannes film festival banned the 'naked' dress, but perhaps punters were simply sick of seeing Bella Hadid's nipples? A celebration of female sexuality is one thing – Marilyn Monroe was a beautiful woman who knew how to dress to impress. But there is something a little bleak about seeing image after image of half-starved models with their nether regions on show. Despite it all screaming sex, none of it seems very sexy. Perhaps the best example of this de-sexing of nudity is Censori. Her nude stunts – seemingly controlled by an increasingly unhinged West – aren't shocking because she is in her birthday suit, but because she looks so pained while doing it. There is no fun or celebration to this sexualisation. In fact, some have raised suspicions about how consensual it all is. But while Censori might be the extreme end of the nudity wars, she represents the hollowing out of sex in the public eye. All these barely-there women seem bored with their own nudity. The problem with this 'nudity as empowerment' narrative is that it gets murky very quickly. The other week, Sydney Sweeney went viral for her Dr Squatch soap, which, the male grooming brand claimed, contained droplets of Sweeney's actual used bathwater. The savvy campaign capitalised, with winking irony, their Sweeney ad from the previous year, which saw the star lying in a foaming bath tub, telling 'dirty little boys' to clean up. The comments section was full of, among other things, men requesting Sweeney's bathwater, while many women criticised her for encouraging male objectification. The week the new ad dropped, Sweeney spoke to the Sunday Times about sometimes struggling to be taken seriously in the boardroom and behind-the-scenes of her production company – particularly by other women. 'A woman's body is beyond empowering and beautiful and sexy and all the things,' she said. 'And I think that one day I will be able to have control of the narrative of my body. I'll take the power.' Is it really so anti-feminist to suggest she would have more luck being taken seriously in the boardroom if she didn't sell her used bathwater to horny young men? I've never been a fan of telling women to cover up. While I might dislike most of her politics, I rallied to Angela Rayner's defence when the Right went into meltdown over her legs being on show during Prime Minister's Questions. Telling women what to wear is never a good idea – from conservatives with their knickers in a twist to finger-wagging feminists. But we should ask ourselves, are we having a good time with all this nudity? Sabrina Carpenter's album cover might be a two-fingered salute to decorum, but is it radical if we had already lost it years ago? If there are no more nipples left to free, perhaps it might be more shocking to start tucking them away.
