LOOSE Women star Kelle Bryan has hinted she would be up for taking part in Louis Theroux’s brand new documentary delving into the history of girlbands.

The star rose to fame as one of the founding members of popular 90s group Eternal alongside Louise Redknapp and sisters Vernie and Easther Bennett.

The band were even scheduled to get back together but were torn apart following Vernie and Easther’s refusal to perform at LGBTQ pride events the band had been booked for claiming contradictions with their personal beliefs.

Kelle and Louise have maintained a dignified silence in the wake of the split but it seems that Kelle would be open to talking about her time in the band, including the difficulties with her bandmates if she were to join Louis’s new programme.

The documentary is a follow-up to Boybands Forever which featured tonnes of former boyband stars, including Robbie Williams and Ritchie Neville, as they delved into the history of the music industry and the dark secrets that followed them around.

Confirming she had yet to be approached for Girlbands Forever, Kelle exclusively told The Sun at the TV Choice Awards: “With Louis doing this programme, it is going to be really interesting – he’s a fantastic journalist.

“Back then, it was a very different time and there was no chance of instant success like many people have now.

“We used to have to go from school to school to club to club to promote our music and we’d always get people who were drunk spilling their drinks over you.

“The music industry now isn’t really like it was for us back in the day”.

Despite having yet to receive the call, Kelle admitted it would be a no brainer to sign up for the programme.

Kelle said: “Yes, I’d absolutely love to do it. Talking about the history of everything and looking back at it all.

“These documentaries are actually exploring what really happened, how that fame was founded and what you had to do in order to breakthrough.

“It was nothing like it is now and all those things are want people find really interesting and want to know about.”

Kelle admitted she would love to talk about the “personal” changes the industry has gone through if she were to sign up for the documentary as she revealed how artists and acts were allowed to build stronger and more meaningful connections with their fans in the 90s than many are able to do now.

Louis’s programme Girlbands Forever plans to explore some of the secrets behind some of Britain’s biggest bands and to tell the public that it wasn’t always as rosy backstage as it may have seemed.

Many bands have been plagued by rumours of fighting, jealousy and rivalry with these topics also having been confronted head-on by their male counterparts in Louis’s boyband documentary.

Recalling her time in the band, Kelle admitted “it was intense” amid the pressure of being in the spotlight.

In 2023, Vernie and Easther were caught up in a much-publicised row with Louise and Kelle, after the sisters were accused of saying they would only take part in an Eternal reunion if no Pride or LGBTQ+ festivals were included in the planned gigs for last summer.

Louise and Kelle went on to say they would not be a part of the reunion if that was the case and distanced themselves from the sisters.

At the time, the group’s manager Denis Ingoldsby issued a statement in defence of Vernie and Easther and said: “This is about the debate about the trans lobby and the erosion of the rights of women and children.

“Vernie said she had some concerns about the Pride movement being hijacked, and she is not alone, but this has now been weaponised against her.”

Last month, it was revealed that her two ex-bandmates had hired a brand new singer to replace Kelle and Louise in Eternal in order to get their show on the road once more amid the fallout.

Vernie and Easther spoke exclusively with The Sun last month in which they addressed the row for the first time.

They told us: “There were several years of requests to reform the original line-up and months of discussions.

“There were several reasons why we declined to tour at that time — like contractual issues, work commitments. There was also a genuine desire to maintain a life away from the business.

“When we were approached for the last time, we decided again that what was being proposed was not truly focused on an Eternal reunion project and also they didn’t align with our family priorities.

“A lot was written about that decision but none of it represents our views or values as a band.”

Actress Julia Campbell is best known for her role in Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.

The 1997 movie follows Romy (Mira Sorvino) and Michele (Lisa Kudrow), who decide to invent fake careers to impress their former classmates at a 10-year high school reunion.

Julia played Christie, who was their High School bully, who hadn’t changed one bit since their school days.

The mean girl character was hugely popular, and helped put the actress on the map.

In one her latest roles, the movie Jesus Revolution, the actress looks a far cry from mean girl Christie.

The film had a star cast which included Frasier star Kelsey Grammer.

The beautiful actress has continued to work through the years, and her next project is a film called Legendary Road, which she has just completed filming.

Julia has appeared in many high profile shows including The Resident and Dexter.

FRIENDS STAR

Die-hard fans will also remember that Julia also appeared in a an episode of Friends.

She played a woman called Whitney in season 7 (2000), who was dating Ross (David Schwimmer).

Julia also shared scenes with her friend Lisa Kudrow, as her character Phoebe was dating Whitney’s ex-husband in the episode.

ROMY AND MICHELE SEQUEL

Julia may also be soon reprising the role of Christie, as the wheels are in motion for a sequel to Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion.

The follow-up to the 1997 comedy is expected to see Friends star Lisa and fellow lead Mira reprise their roles.

Last month, Mira appeared to confirm the sequel was in the works after it was first reported that they were in talks by The Hollywood Reporter.

Posting an image of the article on Instagram, she wrote: “We’re pretty excited about it.”

Lisa also seemed to confirm the second movie.

“There’s a script that’s really good, [by] Robin Schiff,” she told the Drew Barrymore Show.

Before adding: “So it’ll happen, I mean, we’ll see.”

Filming for the sequel is believed to be starting in June this year.

Ever since its release in the late 90s, Romy and Michele’s High School Reunion has become a cult classic.

It has been turned into a musical adaptation in 2017 and a television prequel which premiered in 2005 on ABC.

The pair’s two children were friends but had falling out during the holidays.

Kitching pulled the victim to the ground by her ponytail and knelt on her chest in front of horrified school kids.

The thug then repeatedly kicked the woman in the face as she begged her to stop, Lancs Live reports.

As Kitching was dragged away by a pal, she yelled out: “I know where you live. I’ll f***ing kill you.”

She pleaded guilty to assault occasioning ABH but was spared jail as her daughter would suffer.

Kitching was instead handed a 30 week sentence, suspended for 12 months.

Preston Crown Court was told the horror attack unfolded in Lancaster in September 2023.

The victim was taken to hospital with grazes and bruises to her face and a suspected hairline fracture on her nose.

In a statement, she said she was embarrassed and humiliated to have been attacked on the school run in front of other parents and children.

The mum told the court she considered changing her child’s school as a result and was also left terrified that Kitching would come to her home.

Since the attack the children have played out together and there have been no further incidents, she added.

The court heard Kitching, who has no previous convictions, is ashamed of her vile actions.

As well as a suspended sentence, she was ordered to complete 15 days of rehabilitation activities and complete 60 hours of unpaid work.

Sentencing, Recorder Ayesha Siddiqi said: “This happened near a school and in the presence of children.

“You were unable to control your behaviour in front of the children.

“She must have been terrified by being pulled to the floor and kicked by you. There was the use of a shod foot as a weapon.

“Your behaviour that day was appalling.”

Kelly shot a sultry look to the camera as she wowed fans with her impressive physique.

The singing sensation penned to her 16.5million followers: “Well here we are, 44.”

Kim Kardashian commented beneath: “Happy Birthday Kells!!!!!!! Love you!!!!!”

Kelly pouted in the first photo in the carousel of images, while holding two balloons with 44 on by her chest.

In a second shot, the star put her derriere on display as she modelled the unique look and gazed over her shoulder.

She looked happier than ever as she celebrated being a year older, and opted for a very glam makeup look for the snaps.

Kelly accessorised with a silver necklace and flashed a huge grin at the camera.

The Motivation singer’s comments section was flooded with well wishes, as friends and fans wished her a happy birthday.

Kelly also shared a snap of her story of Naomi Campbell striking a similar pose in a very similar outfit, with a big net of balloons on her head.

The star penned: “My inspo, I love you @naomi,” over the top of the black and white snap.

The star didn’t share what she’d got up to for her birthday, but it’s likely she could’ve celebrated with husband Tim.

Kelly and Tim wed in an “intimate ceremony,” back in 2014.

Before the big day, the Hollywood star announced her engagement during an appearance on The Queen Latifah Show on December 16, 2013.

Approximately 30 friends and family attended the ceremony, including Kelly’s former Destiny’s Child bandmate Beyoncé.

A source told People at the time: “Kelly was really happy, Tim was happy, and it was a great break for everybody from the normal grind, but now they’re all going back to work.”

Since their marriage, the couple say they are “learning about communicating every day”.

Kelly said: “I remember Tim saying, ‘Look, sister, we gon’ ride this thing ’til the wheels come off’.

“As long as both of us don’t get tired – if one of us gets tired we’re good.”

Kelly and Tim share two children, including sons Titan Jewell and Noah Jon.

They welcomed their first son, Titan, on November 4, 2014.

Then, they decided to try to have another baby as Covid-19 began spreading.

Explaining the couple’s thoughts on possibly adding to their family, the singer said, “We had been talking about it loosely, and then Covid happened, and we were just like, ‘Let’s see what happens’.”

The couple got pregnant almost instantly.

On January 21, 2021, they welcomed their second son, Noah.

A GENUINE and heartfelt compliment can improve someone’s entire week – not just their day, according to research.

A poll of 2,000 adults found 68 per cent believe sincere and kind words have the power to turn a bad week into a good one, and 83 per cent believe authentic compliments are more important than ever.

Gü

And 74 per cent think a simple compliment carries more weight than being lavished with excessive acclaim.

Nearly half (48 per cent) value praise more from friends, compared to 42 per cent who enjoy positive affirmations from romantic partners.

However, of the women polled, 17 per cent trust compliments from other women more because they feel more authentic (66 per cent) and heartfelt (43 per cent).

Whereas, compared to compliments from a partner, many of these claims are expected (41 per cent) or come with an ulterior motive (19 per cent).

The study was commissioned by Gü to mark the launch of its complimenting billboard, celebrating the release of Bridget Jones’ Diary: Mad About the Boy.

Located in Borough Yards until Saturday, just yards from Bridget’s famous flat in Borough Market, the activation uses a smart motion sensor to trigger bespoke compliments inspired by characters from the franchise – including Mark Darcy and Daniel Cleaver.

It also revealed simple phrases like “I appreciate you” (44 per cent), “you are so kind” (40 per cent), and “you are a great friend” (40 per cent) are among Brits’ favourite compliments.

And when receiving such praise, 83 per cent feel valued, 50 per cent feel appreciated, while it puts 42 per cent in a brighter mood.

Gü

Many also like receiving compliments from strangers (26 per cent) and colleagues (24 per cent), and some particularly like kind words from their mother-in-law (eight per cent).

However, more than a fifth (22 per cent) admitted they prefer to give compliments rather than receive them.

Charlotte Brown from Gü, which will be giving away samples of its desserts at the complimenting billboard, said: “We believe the ultimate act of self-love is embracing who you are – no filters, no pretence.

“We’re bringing the feel-good factor to life with our pop-up complimenting billboard, reminding everyone of the power of a genuine compliment – just like the iconic Mark Darcy line: ‘I like you, just as you are.’”
