Vicky Pattison slams Meghan Markle's 'cringe' move as Duchess 'gave her the ick'

Former Queen of the Jungle Vicky Pattison has revealed that one moment in Meghan Markle's Netflix series, involving a Hollywood star, made her 'get the ick'
'I'm A Celebrity' alum Vicky Pattison expressed her disgust about Meghan Markle 's controversial moment on her Netflix show.
In a candid chat with co-host Angela Scanlon during their 'Get A Grip' podcast, they delved into the life of the Duchess of Sussex.
‌
Vicky couldn't hide her disappointment when recounting how Meghan, in her 'With Love, Meghan' series, told off Mindy Kaling for calling her by her maiden name, instead of Sussex.
‌
On the moment, Vicky said: "When Meghan corrected Mindy Kaling. And I like that Mindy, I think she's alright.
"So I was like, 'Oh'. There's no way I'm slapping my pal's wrist on my Netflix series just for something like that. I really got the ick."
Still, Vicky admitted that initially, she was rooting for Meghan and Prince Harry's decision to distance themselves from Royal duties.
She reflected: "Harry's obviously unhappy in his role in the Royal Family. If he wants to take a step back.."
She added praise for the Prince's independent streak, she explained: "He's always been a bit rebellious, a bit rogue. I was actually all for them retreating off into the distance, bringing up their gorgeous little kids, being really happy."
‌
However, Vicky questioned the couple's judgment following the release of footage depicting the couple twerking in the delivery room on Princess Lillibet's fourth birthday, saying it probably didn't do them any favours.
She summarised: "Ultimately, the general consensus is that it's a bag of cringe on toast."
Vicky's comments come just days after she discussed the effect of PMDD (pre-menstrual dysphoric disorder) on her relationship with her partner Ercan Ramadan.
‌
In a candid chat with Elizabeth Day for the How To Fail podcast, Vicky delved into how the illness impacts her everyday life.
Expressing her anguish, she said: "It absolutely kills me that for a quarter of our life, I am not the person that he fell in love with, and not the person that he thought he was marrying.
"Because that is the reality, I'm not myself. I'm not recognisable at all. I could be screaming one second and sobbing the next, then completely disassociating, unable to be social, lost, afraid, whatever it is – however it's manifesting itself that week."
‌
Explaining the emotional burden it places on their relationship, she added: "He's had to learn to love that version of me as well. And that is really difficult. And that is not something I would ask of me worst enemy, let alone the man I love more than anything else in the world."
Vicky also expressed immense pride in how Ercan has adapted to her struggles with PMDD, highlighting his reaction as a genuine reflection of his character.
She added: "It is a true testament to him and his character that he's learned to understand it because not every man does. I found the one thing that helps is communication.
"So saying to him [...] I'm coming into PMDD week. And he goes, 'That's okay. Like, we'll just take it slow'."
Vicky and Ercan tied the knot back in August 2024, around five years since their path first crossed through mutual friends in 2019.

King Charles pays sweet birthday tribute to Prince William

With the Prince of Wales turning 43 today, his father King Charles has paid a touching tribute to his son by posting a picture on social media. To mark the 43rd birthday of the Prince of Wales, King Charles and Queen Camilla shared a touching birthday post on social media this morning. Along with sharing their well wishes for the prince, a picture of Prince William was posted on social media. Shared earlier this year, the image on X showed the 43-year-old wearing a blue shirt and smiling while sitting on a rock wall in the countryside. Many fans of Prince William have commented that the Royal is 'ageing like a fine wine' in the run up to his birthday. ‌ However, many fans of the Royal family are wondering if Prince Harry will be sending his best wishes to mark his older brother's birthday. ‌ Royal fans have also said that they have been delighted to see adorable details emerge about the future king's marriage with Kate Middleton, reports the Mirror. At an event that took place earlier this week, fans were thrilled to see the prince grinning at his wife. Appearing at the Order of the Garter in Windsor on Monday, June 16, the couple were seen to be united as they stunned fans with their gorgeous ensemble. Kate was seen in an all-white Self-Portrait dress and matching wide-brim hat, while William wore dark blue velvet mantles - the insignia of the order- and a distinctive feathered bonnet. In an Instagram post showing the happy couple, the caption read: "A pleasure attending the Order of the Garter today in Windsor. A brilliant celebration of tradition, service and duty. Thank you to everyone involved." ‌ Fans were quick to praise the couple in the comments, as one person wrote: "Those two are aging like a fine wine!" Another fan also noted the look of 'true love' that Princess Kate was giving to her husband. They said: "20+ years & 3 adorable children[...] Catherine only has eyes for Prince William. This is true love." However, not everyone was blown away by the couple and their appearance, as one person remarked: "Lovely. However, William needs gone of that beard. Makes him look old." ‌ Despite this, many fans were highly complimentary, with another person writing: "What a treat for us Royal watchers! Princess Catherine looks absolutely stunning and Prince William as handsome as ever!" While one person added: "Prince William and Princess Catherine look absolutely stunning and majestic!!" ‌ As Prince William turns 43 today, many people have been left speculating if his estranged younger brother, Prince Harry, will also mark the occasion. At the moment it is thought that the brothers are not on speaking terms. Last year, the Royal family took to social media to pay tribute to the Duke of Sussex's 40th birthday. On X, the Royal Family posted a photo with Harry smiling to mark the occasion, writing: "Wishing The Duke of Sussex a very happy 40th birthday today!" Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Kate Middleton shares sweet message for Prince William's birthday - and reveals new puppies

Kate Middleton has shared a sweet birthday tribute to her husband Prince William as he celebrates turning 43-years-old today. The adorable image shows the heir sitting in a field, while playing with a group of small puppies, whose mother is believed to be Orla, the Wales' family dog. In the image, the father-of-three is dressed casually, wearing jeans paired with a long-sleeved green button down shirt, as the puppies crawl over him sweetly. The photograph is accompanied by a caption from the Princess of Wales and other members of their family. It says: 'Happy birthday! Love C, G, C, L, Orla and the puppies!' It follows an earlier tribute to William shared by his father King Charles, in which the monarch shared an unseen image of the heir as well as a sweet message via the Royal Family 's official X (formerly Twitter) account. In the somewhat casual photograph, the Prince of Wales is seen looking pensive as he sits outside in a rural setting. He is dressed in a button down pale blue shirt, as well as navy slacks - and in what may be a controversial move for some, he wears a very light beard. The image was accompanied by a simple caption which read: 'Happy Birthday to The Prince of Wales!'. The Prince of Wales has enjoyed a busy week in the lead-up to his birthday after last weekend's Trooping The Colour and joining the Royal Ascot carriage procession on Wednesday. However, he wasn't joined by his wife at the Berkshire racecourse as expected after she pulled out of the event at the 11th hour. She was said to be 'disappointed' at not attending the famous social and sporting occasion with her husband Prince William and the King and Queen. Racegoers had been hoping to see the Princess after the Prince of Wales was named as one of the figures awarding race prizes during the second day of the meet. Ascot officials had confirmed at 12pm that the Princess was due to be in the second carriage in the royal procession with William, in a published carriage list. But less than half an hour later, Kensington Palace confirmed just before 12.30pm that Kate would not be attending - and a revised carriage list was published by Ascot. MailOnline understands the Princess was 'disappointed' not to be in attendance 'but she has to find the right balance as she fully returns to public facing engagements'. In the past week Kate has attended three high-profile events - Trooping the Colour, the annual Order of the Garter service and a visit to a V&A storage facility in London. It is a tradition for senior royals to have their birthdays marked with the release of photographs and messages. Last year, Kate delighted royal watchers with the sweet portrait she shared to commemorate her husband's birthday. The fun portrait showed her husband excitedly leaping in the air with his three children. The image showed the family dressed in casual clothing - with William sporting a hoodie and shorts - as they grinned mid pose for the snap, taken by Kate in Norfolk in May 2024. Kate accompanied it with a caption that read: 'Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much!.' The post comes almost after the Wales family were seen at Trooping the Colour - the annual celebration of the monarch's official birthday. William played a starring role in the event, riding on horseback alongside Princess Anne and the Duke of Edinburgh. And he was elaborately dressed for the occasion, donning the Full Ceremonial Guard Order of the Welsh Guards, and a bearskin hat. The prince also donned the Most Noble Order of the Garter Sash with the Lesser George and a Welsh Guards Sword. His outfit included his four, full size medals - the Gold, Diamond, and Platinum Jubilee medals, plus the Coronation Medal. Meanwhile, his wife and children travelled by carriage. Prince William Arthur Philip Louis of Wales was born second in line to the throne at St Mary's Hospital, Paddington, at 9.03pm on June 21 1982. He weighed 7lb 1 1/2oz and was the first-born son of the then-Prince and the Princess of Wales. At just nine months old, he accompanied his parents on a six-week official visit to Australia and New Zealand, which was a break from tradition with royal babies usually left at home in the care of nannies. His mother Diana, who separated from the then-Prince of Wales in 1992, died in a car crash in Paris in 1997. William was just 15 and his brother Prince Harry 12, and the boys walked behind the princess's coffin during a funeral procession through London. The prince met Kate Middleton at St Andrews University in Fife, and the pair married at Westminster Abbey in 2011 after dating for more than eight years. They welcomed their first child George in 2013, followed by Charlotte in 2015, and then Louis in 2018. After the death of the late Queen in 2022, the King announced in his first historic address that he had made William and Kate the new Prince and Princess of Wales. William has a long-running rift with his brother the Duke of Sussex, with no sign yet of a reconciliation. The fallout originated ahead of Harry's wedding to Meghan Markle, now the Duchess of Sussex, and worsened after the accusations Harry publicly levelled at his brother in his double tell-alls: his Netflix documentary and his memoir Spare. Despite years elapsing since that time, the once reportedly close siblings are still estranged from each other. Since becoming the Prince of Wales, William has kept himself busy with some major initiatives. In 2023, he launched Homewards, his five-year drive to eradicate homelessness in six locations around the UK. And he has continued to work on his other passion projects, which include raising mental health awareness, and the Earthshot Prize, his £50 million environmental competition to find solutions to help the planet.

Noel Edmonds tears up reflecting on ‘dark space' when he attempted suicide

To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Noel Edmonds has reflected on 'dark times' from his past in his return to TV. The former Deal or No Deal host is back with Kiwi Adventure, which follows his life in New Zealand with wife Liz as they run a hospitality business in the rural town of Ngatimoti. Noel, 76, and Liz, whom we married in 2009, decided to make the move in 2015 before going ahead in 2019, having previously said the 'incredible spiritual pull' he felt when visiting the country made him want to settle there. Now, the couple owns an 800-acre estate called River Haven, boasting a vineyard, restaurant, wellness centre, and a pub named The Bugger Inn. In the first episode of his comeback, Noel, who was last seen on telly when he was voted off I'm A Celebrity in 2018, became emotional as he looked back on his tougher moments and feeling suicidal. At one point, he visited a sculpture named Guardian, which was described by narrator Rob Brydon as 'a permanent reminder of a difficult period in his life'. 'In 2005, at the height of his fame, Noel's production company unexpectedly went bankrupt, hugely affecting his mental health,' Rob explained to viewers. Cutting back to Noel, the former House Party presenter pointed to a plinth: 'There's a description of my story here, for guests to understand why I had Guardian created.' 'My Unique group of companies was deliberately collapsed by some corrupt bankers,' he recalled. 'And I'm safe in saying that because my bank manager went to prison, along with four others, for 50 years. 'What they were doing was pushing businesses over the edge and then taking assets—that's basically what it was about. 'When the companies went into administration in 2006, I thought I was a crap businessman. I thought it was my fault. 70 people lost their jobs.' Noel then shared: 'And I said to Liz, who was a fantastic support, 'When,' not if, 'When I win my battle to get my losses back, I'm gonna get the great Weta Studios, Lord of the Rings, Avatar, the real creative powerhouses here in New Zealand, I'm gonna ask them to build me a statue'.' Indeed, that's when Guardian was made, with Liz designing the shield the statue holds to represent his legal 'fight'. Beside the statue of a crouching man with his head bowed is an inscription, which Noel says is what encouraged him to build it in the first place. 'It was that inscription that held me together and motivated me during some very dark times,' he admitted, with the plaque reading: 'The devil saw me with my head down and thought he'd won until I said Amen.' 'The relevance of that is the knight is not kneeling in defeat; he's praying,' revealed Noel. He then became choked up as he explained just how hard the legal battle hit his mental health: 'He's praying before he gets up and defeats the dark force, the enemy. 'I'll tell you, when you go to that dark space… I used to, like many people, kind of look down my nose and think, why would anybody want to take their own life? Why would they want to do that? 'I'll tell you, if you've ever been in that dark space, you'll never be critical, because it's a space where there is no reason.' Noel concluded by sharing that the Guardian statue is there for those who feel 'weak,' 'disenfranchised,' 'marginalised,' and 'let down' by society. 'He has not given up. You can feel it.' Grabbing onto the sword, he tearfully said: 'Thanks, mate. Thank you.' This isn't the first time Noel has spoken candidly about his suicidal thoughts. In June 2017, he shared that he had attempted to take his life in 2005 after the fraud by a group of HBOS financiers destroyed his businesses. At the time, he wished to 'end the overwhelming mental pain that had consumed [his] whole being'. 'Until these criminals took me to the brink of emotional annihilation, I had always felt those who opt out by taking their own lives were selfish and cowardly… But having been cast into that bottomless dark space devoid of logic and reason, I have a much deeper understanding of life without hope…', he said. Noel also stated then that he 'sought no sympathy' and 'felt no shame' in making the confession. Ultimately, Noel received an apology from Lloyds Banking Group, which agreed a compensation deal with him following the fraud case. While details of the agreement were not made public, it was reported by the Daily Mail that he received around £5million. More Trending Lloyds acknowledged causing Noel 'distress' after corrupt staff from the Reading branch were handed jail sentences for the £245m loans scam between 2003 and 2007. Several businesses were destroyed as profits were squandered on prostitutes and luxury holidays. View More » Watch Noel Edmonds' Kiwi Adventure on ITV.
