Delta Goodrem: Aussie singer gets married to long-time partner Matthew Copley in Malta
Aussie singer Delta Goodrem has tied the knot with long-time partner Matthew Copley on the European island of Malta. The pair are believed to have made their love official on June 16, according to New Idea, after months of speculation regarding their nuptials. In May, Goodrem was seen wearing a wedding band during a London performance at Hackney Empire, but curiously did not appear to be wearing it while treating fans at London's St Pancras International Station to an impromptu performance later in the month. On Tuesday, following their wedding day, the couple were joined by Goodrem's mother Lea and brother Trent as they continued proceedings at a beach club. Glowing under the European sun, Goodrem was seen in a turquoise dress as she embraced loved ones and flaunted her striking engagement ring and wedding band. High-profile friends Richard Wilkins, his son Christian, and TV personality Renee Bargh also made the trip. Goodrem is believed to have met Copley, 38, in 2017 while on tour. She told The Women's Weekly in 2023 that the pair's shared passion for music had blossomed into a love for each other. 'He's my guitarist, I met him through music,' she said. 'It's incredible to be on stage with him because he's so talented. We really are a team. He's my best friend, he's kind and just a beautiful human being. 'But I learnt quite young that I enjoy keeping part of that private.' Malta was not only the setting for the couple's destination wedding, but it was also Copley's location of choice when he popped the question in 2023. With her husband's family largely Maltese, the singer has been open in the past about her love for the island. She even performed at the MTV Malta music festival a couple of years ago. Goodrem wrote on social media at the time, 'Malta you have my heart 🫶🏼what a place!!! performing and then getting to spend time with our beautiful family and friends watching sunsets, swimming in the sea and dancing in the streets 🫶🏻 how lucky are we to do what we get to do 🎵~☀️grateful. La familia!!'

Moment 'gutted' Coronation Street star is caught grimacing in audience of British Soap Awards after being 'robbed' of win in 'diabolical' verdict
Coronation Street fans were shocked after spotting a star's 'fuming' face as he lost out to a rival at the British Soap Awards. The annual ceremony took place on Saturday night at the Hackney Empire in London, but was broadcast last night, with a slew of the country's favourite soap stars in attendance and Jane McDonald playing host. But amid the celebratory atmosphere, ITV viewers spotted a particularly disappointed nominee who was denied the chance to take home one of the coveted gongs. Corrie actor Luca Toolan, who plays reformed bully Mason Radcliffe, looked very disappointed after rival BBC 's EastEnders nabbed the Best Single Episode award. The soap star, 21, was up for the prize for his death episode in January, which saw him stabbed to death by his brothers for helping the police gather evidence against them for a murder they committed. 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. Corrie actor Luca Toolan lost out to EastEnders' flashback episode, which saw Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) sink deeper into depression, hallucinating scenes from his adolescence at his family home in 1985 But he lost out to EastEnders' flashback episode, which saw Phil Mitchell (Steve McFadden) sink deeper into depression, hallucinating scenes from his adolescence at his family home in 1985. Viewers at home said Luca, whose nominated scene ended his 18-month stint on the cobbles, looked 'furious' at the result. One wrote on social media: 'The Mason actor didn't look too happy there.' Another said: 'Oh no! Luca Toolan looked gutted.' Others agreed with his disappointment, saying Coronation Street was robbed in the category: 'Sorry but that award should have gone to Luca for the knife crime story for Mason.'; 'How has Corrie's storyline with Mason not won anything tonight? They went into detail with that and raised awareness for knife crime.'; 'Excuse my language but how the f*** did Mason's death not win anything? Diabolical results.'; 'Corrie robbed. Should've won for that Mason storyline.' Others agreed with his disappointment, saying Coronation Street was robbed in the category After serving jail time for possession of a knife, Mason returned to Weatherfield determined to turn over a new leaf. But he soon found himself drawn back into trouble again as his brothers Matty and Logan (Seamus McGoff and Harry Lowbridge) came to hunt him down. When Mason's friend Dylan Wilson (Liam McCheyne) rushed to his defence, bringing a knife, the blade was seized from him and tragically used to stab Mason. He was found by fellow Weatherfield resident Abi Webster (Sally Carman-Duttine), who screamed for help and tried to apply pressure to his bleeding wounds. Mason said to her: 'I'm going to die, aren't I? I'm going to die.' Abi replied: 'You're not going to die. Mason, listen to me, an ambulance is on the way and you're not going to die.' But with the paramedics distracted by a hoax call, his condition got much worse as he waited for them to arrive. He was rushed to hospital accompanied by Abi and his friend Betsy Swain (Sydney Martin), where medics fought to save him. But there was nothing to be done and the young lad soon died, leaving Abi and Betsy devastated and traumatised. While Corrie won only one award at the Soap Awards - Outstanding Achievement for the long-serving David Neilson as Roy Cropper - EastEnders received eight gongs in its 40th anniversary year. This is more than double the soap which won the next most awards at this year's ceremony - Hollyoaks, which took home three prizes. But the night got off to a terrible start when it aired on Thursday, with the show being delayed for seven whole minutes due to technical difficulties. Fans were greeted with a black screen from ITV with the message: 'We're sorry for the disruption'. The channel was down for a long seven minutes, meaning the show didn't air until well past 8pm, when it was due to start. And viewers were less than impressed, taking to social media to fume over the delay and insist that the ceremony should've been aired without a hitch as it was pre-recorded five days ago. They raged: 'Sorry for the disruption?? The British Soap Awards isn't even live!'; 'not the soap awards failing to start'; 'And it's not even live!' 'Eh, soap awards? We've already waited 5 days for this! Get your act together.'; 'It's finally started! 7 mins late'; Oh fun just when the #britishsoapawards were about to start. #itv'. '@ITV the British soap awards aren't even live, why tf is there a disruption?'; 'not the technical issue right as the soap awards start'. 'Soap awards are off to a cracking start with the sorry for the disruption screen'; 'SOMEONE CALL THE POLICE. BRITISH SOAP AWARDS ISNT WORKING'. 'Not us all having to wait 5 days for it, all the results leaked, and now THIS. Pull the over one @ITV'; 'Get on with it, it's not even live…' While others accused ITV of deliberately sabotaging the show after their own soaps, Coronation Street and Emmerdale, only won three gongs in total on the night, with their rivals sweeping the board. BBC's EastEnders cleaned up with a whopping eight wins while Channel 4's Hollyoaks scored three, to Emmerdale 's two and Corrie's singular prize. Fans took to X to quip: 'ITV really don't want us to see #EastEnders winning all those awards, do they'; ' itv really p***ed cos bbc won it all'. 'Omg British Soap Awards have frozen, is there anything ITV won't do to try and ruin #EastEnders beating their abysmal soaps?!?!' 'ITV don't want to air #BritishSoapAwards because they know how s**t Corrie did'; 'Not #EastEnders fans sabotaging the Soap Awards. THE POWER WE HAVE!' 'ITV doing anything to avoid airing the British Soap Awards'; 'ITV after reluctantly pressing the 'air' button on the #BritishSoapAwards'. 'is this a clever tactic from #ITV to try and avoid showing #EastEnders wiping the floor with all the itv soaps?' 'British soap awards not on, are ITV going to be sorry for the disruption for the next 2 hours just because EastEnders won almost everything.' 'Oooh itv getting salty about EastEnders winning the awards'; 'LOL THE SOAP AWARDS FAILING TO START! BBC has finally got it own back.' The residents of Albert Square kicked off their wins with Best Episode which went to Phil's Psychosis: The Mitchells In 1985. While Steve McFadden, who plays fan favourite Phil Mitchell, also won the Best Dramatic Performance award. Among the biggest moments of the night was Anita Watts scooping an award for her reprisal of the iconic Angie Watts for the first time in 37 years. The actress returned as the Queen Vic's first landlady for EastEnders' special anniversary episode in February, in a heartbreaking cameo with daughter Sharon - played by Letitia Dean. Her shock return left viewers stunned and in tears, with fans branding it the 'TV moment of the year', so her win came as no surprise. EastEnders also won for Best Comedic Performance, going to Patsy Palmer for her role as Bianca Jackson, while Navin Chowdhry scooped the Best Villain gong for playing Nish Panesar. Rudolph Walker & Angela Wynter (Patrick & Yolande Trueman) delivered another win for EastEnders as they won Best On-Screen Partnership. Lacey Turner, who plays Stacey Slater, won the Best Leading Performer Award and EastEnders also won the most coveted award of all: Best British Soap. Another standout moment of the ceremony was Sir David Jason taking to the stage to present the coveted Best Soap award. The Only Fools and Horses star, 85, cut a dapper figure in a classic black suit and bow tie as he announced EastEnders as the winner of the night's biggest prize. Hollyoaks' three awards started with Isabelle Smith who won Best Newcomer for her role as Frankie Osborne. Among the biggest moments of the night was Anita Watts scooping an award for her reprisal of the iconic Angie Watts for the first time in 37 years EastEnders also won for Best Comedic Performance, going to Patsy Palmer for her role as Bianca Jackson The Osbornes then won the Best Family award while Hollyoaks' sibling sexual abuse storyline received the Best Storyline award. Meanwhile, Emmerdale's Amelia Flanagan was overcome with emotion as she was announced as the winner of Best Young Performer for playing April Windsor. The 16-year-old - who previously won the prize for Best Young Performance for the role in 2015 - couldn't hid her shock as she took to the stage to accept the trophy. The actress beat out Corrie's Will Flanagan, EastEnders star Sonny Kendall and Hollyoaks' Noah Holdsworth for the win. While camera operator Mike Plant took home the Tony Warren Award which is given to employees working behind the scenes. Coronation Street's sole gong of the night was the Outstanding Achievement Award which went to David Neilson who has played Roy Cropper for 30 years. The technical troubles plaguing the awards this year come after last year's show was suddenly cancelled with no explanation, when the nominees had already been announced. The June 2023 edition reached 5.7 million viewers in total with just under one million streams on ITVX and a peak of 3.2m viewers via its linear overnight broadcast.

Patsy Palmer leaves crowd in hysterics and Jane McDonald appalled with her 'vagina monologue' during British Soap Awards - as fans claim ITV edited out even more X-rated comments!
Patsy Palmer left both the crowd and viewers at home in stitches during the British Soap Awards, as she went off in a tangent about vaginas during her award acceptance speech. The actress, 53, won the prize for Best Comedic Performance at the annual ceremony, held on Saturday night at London 's Hackney Empire. She scored the win for her role as Bianca Jackson on EastEnders, beating out stiff competition from Jack P Shepherd, Nicola Wheeler and Nicole Barber-Lane. However, as she took to the stage to accept the gong, Patsy got rather sidetracked, as she deliver an ode to vaginas, that had the audience breaking down into laughter. She made the X-rated remarks in reference to EastEnders' live 40th anniversary special, which saw Bianca having to help sister Sonia (Natalie Cassidy) give birth after they became trapped in the Queen Vic with cousin Lauren (Jacqueline Jossa) following the explosion. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the Daily Mail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. The scene had viewers cracking up as Bianca and Lauren argued over who had to help, with both reluctant to get up close and personal with the birth. It culminated with Bianca taking a huge glug from a bottle of brandy for some liquid courage, before declaring the now-iconic line: 'It's only a noony Lauren!' Referencing the hilarious moment, Patsy began her speech: 'Listen I haven't prepared a speech, because I really thought Jack was gonna win. 'To be able to funny in all what of we've seen tonight is nothing short of miracle really. I'd like to thank Shona McGarty for leaving, because if she hadn't have left I wouldn't have come back. 'I wasn't expecting that and I'm so glad I did because then I stayed for the 40th and that was really where we celebrated the women's vagina!' As the star-studded crowd burst into laughter, co-star Michelle Collins could be seen looking around in shock, while host Jane McDonald looked positively appalled. However, Patsy didn't stop there, valiantly continuing on to add: 'I think vaginas have always been funny.' She then changed tone to express her thanks to show and even choked back her tears, as she gushed: 'All jokes aside, coming back to EastEnders after quite some time has been the most amazing experience for me and I'm so grateful. Beyond grateful. 'And I'm not going to cry, so I'm going to go, because it is a comedy award. But you really have no idea what a gift it's been for me to come back.' As she left the stage, the camera cut back to Jane to segue to the next award, but the singer was still left stunned by Patsy's unusual and explicit speech. She confessed to the audience: 'Well I don't know what to say after that. I mean how many times can you say vaginas in one speech?' Fans watching the ITV airing of the awards ceremony on Thursday night were full of praise for Patsy, taking to X to declare her monologue the 'the speech of the night.'

'Them cutting out all of Patsy's Vagina rant just makes no sense now when you see Janes reaction and how the crowd reacted???'; 'DO NOT EDIT PATSY'S SPEECH.'
