“I wish the best of luck to all horse connections as they put the final touches to their Saudi Cup campaigns, and we wait with great anticipation for the weekend of the 21st and 22nd of February.”
THE Vatican issued an update on Pope Francis’ health after previously warning he was “not out of danger”.
The 88-year-old was admitted to hospital on February 14 and has been forced to pull out of official engagements.
The pontiff has been suffering from pneumonia in both lungs and is undergoing treatment at Rome’s Gemelli Hospital.
The Vatican shared a short update on his condition, as Catholics across the world hold out hope the 88-year-old gets better.
It said: “Pope Francis rested well.”
This positive update came after a series of worrying updates from The Church.
The Vatican warned on Monday that a longer hospital stay was needed in the face of a “complex clinical picture” which involved a “polymicrobial infection of the respiratory tract”.

SINGLE mum-of-two Annette struggled to pay her bills after a house move cost her more money than expected.
The 41-year-old lived in a two-bedroom flat in Newbury, West Berkshire, but when she was offered a three-bedroom house in the same area she jumped at the chance to give her family a better living situation.
Her eldest son, who has ADHD, had been sleeping on a temporary bed in the living room, which gave him no personal space and made it hard for him to complete his schoolwork.
He had previously been sleeping in a large cupboard in the home, which her step father built a bed in, but following a growth spurt the space was no longer suitable for him.
Her younger son had his own bedroom, but sharing was not an option as the room was not big enough for both of them.
Despite saving up £1,000 for move the Navy veteran ended up using the cash to pay for the first month’s rent and moving costs.
Her new landlord asked for £595 in rent upfront and then she had to fork out £300 on a removal van and petrol, leaving her financially depleted.
At the same time she moved to Universal Credit and her child support payments stopped, leaving her without income for six weeks.
She received child support from her eldest sons father but after he turned 20 these payments stopped. The mum also never received any financial help from her youngest’s dad.
Annette is not currently working due to medical reasons, including mental health issues and a recent fibromyalgia diagnosis.
Reflecting on the move, Annette said: “We were trying to build a home from nothing. The house was empty, and so was my bank account.
“I had to use everything I had just to cover the first month’s rent and moving costs. There was nothing left for furniture or even food. It was heartbreaking.”
She was left feeling overwhelmed and worried about how she would manage to pay for food for the month or new furniture for her home.
As her financial pressures became overwhelming, a friend encouraged her to get in touch with military charities.
Annette contacted the Royal Naval Benevolent Trust, who introduced her to the Lightning Reach portal.
Lightning Reach connects users to personalised help, such as fuel vouchers, utility bills and energy advice.
Annette said: “I didn’t think there was anything out there for someone like me. I just thought, ‘There’s always someone worse off’.’
Lightning Reach is a financial support portal which allows users to access personalised support with their bills all in one place.
Users can get help with their energy and utility bills, debt write-offs, fuel vouchers, energy advice and home efficiency upgrades.
This year it has provided almost £1million worth of grants to struggling households through its Winter Warmth campaigning since September 2024.
The average successful applicant gets more than £1,000 worth of support through the portal.
The platform has more than 80 partners and connects people to over 2,500 financial support schemes.
Its partners include the Teaching Staff Trust, Royal British Legion and Southern Housing.
To access the help you must first sign up to create a free account and complete a profile.
Next you can check your support matches, which will give you a list of financial support that is tailored to your situation.
You can submit your applications through the secure portal by simply clicking a button.
Once your application is approved you will get the support in as little as two days.
The money can be paid in several ways, including food and fuel vouchers.
“I’d never applied for help from military charities before, but the portal made it so simple. It saved me so much time and stress.”
She filled out her profile and was connected with several organisations that were able to provide her with support.
Through the portal she was able to claim support worth £1,525 from three organisations:
Annette used the money to buy beds for her sons and desks for their schoolwork.
For her eldest son, having his own bed and desk made an immediate difference to his mental wellbeing.
She also bought carpets to make their home more welcoming.
Annette said the house “now feels like a home”.
She adds: “The whole process was really easy. You could do it all on your phone, which was brilliant.
“The whole process was so easy and reassuring. It made me feel valued, and that’s something money can’t buy.”
Annette now plans to complete a business administration qualification and return to work.
She has even mentioned the scheme to her friends who also used to work for the military.
She said: “I’ve told my friends and family, especially those who are ex-military, about the portal. It’s about making people realise they’re not asking for too much.
“The support is there for a reason.”
There are several grants and cash payments you could get if you are struggling.
If you are struggling to pay your bills, you may be able to apply for support via the Household Support Fund (HSF).
The funding is designed to help people who are vulnerable or cannot afford necessities including energy bills, water bills and food.
The help may be paid as cash, food or fuel vouchers.
What support is available and whether you are eligible varies by council.
Check your local authority’s website to see what is on offer and how to apply.
For example, St Helens Borough Council in Merseyside is offering support with essential bills.
Low-income families can apply for support with their food, fuel bills and other living expenses such as utility debts.
They can also get cash to help with the cost of purchasing furniture or white goods.
Households can apply for payments worth £200.
Those over 80 who are not eligible for this year’s Winter Fuel Payment can get £300.
They must be receiving Housing Benefit or another Council Tax reduction.
The Warm Home Discount Scheme is a one-off £150 discount on your energy bill.
If you are eligible then your energy supplier will usually apply the discount to your bill.
You may instead be sent a voucher if you have a prepayment meter.
Applications for the scheme opened in October but there can be a delay before the payments are made.
To qualify for the cash, you usually need to be claiming one of a range of means-tested benefits during the qualifying week, which is typically in August.
But if you successfully claim backdated benefits, you may still be able to qualify after this date once your benefits are confirmed.
If you qualify for the Warm Home Discount, you should receive a letter to tell you.
These letters are usually sent between October and January.
You can use our guide to check which benefits qualify for the help.
Plus we explain how to get the cash if you think you are eligible but have not received a letter.
Several energy suppliers are giving customers free gadgets to help them cut their energy bills.
Octopus Energy is handing out freebies including electric blankets to customers as part of its Octo Assist fund.
The bankets can save customers up to £150 across winter.
Octopus customers can also borrow a thermal imaging camera to help find spots in their homes where heat is escaping.
Once they have identified the draughts, customers can look into ways to get them fixed, which can help to reduce their energy usage.
Meanwhile, EDF customers can get their hands on free energy-saving gadgets such as air fryers, kettles and slow cookers.
EDF has also said it will replace broken or poorly-working appliances with energy-efficient ones.

IT’S all change as Britain’s Got Talent returns to our screens for an 18th series – no, don’t worry, Simon Cowell hasn’t axed national treasures Ant and Dec as hosts (he wouldn’t dare!).
But there is a new guest judge in the shape of social-media, boxing and music star KSI, more golden buzzers than ever before, and for the first time ever, the live semi-finals will be airing weekly on Saturday nights later in the year rather than consecutive evenings across a week.
But perhaps the biggest difference this time around is that all of the auditions were filmed in the British home of showbiz – Blackpool.
Ahead of the launch of this new series, TV Mag exclusively spoke to the stalwarts of the long-term judging panel, Simon, Amanda Holden, Alesha Dixon and Bruno Tonioli…
If there’s one thing we know we can expect along with a host of weird and wonderful act, it’s a jaw-dropping outfit or two from Amanda that likely prompts some viewers to contact Ofcom to complain…
“I haven’t even thought about my semi-finals outfits yet, but I constantly scroll through Instagram when I’m on car journeys and bombard my stylist with loads of ideas – it’s thigh splits and cleavage!” cackles Amanda, who sparked a record 663 complaints with one low-cut number back in 2017 .
“I have a whole ‘t*t committee’ [in the production team] that watches everything [ to prevent ‘accidents’]. Hopefully they’ll keep an eye on Bruno’s t*ts as well, because I think he shows far more than I do at the moment!”
Amanda’s bound to be feeling confident about spotting potential during the show’s new run, given that she was the judge who pressed her golden buzzer for Sydnie Christmas, the singer who went on to win the 2024 series.
“That was just incredible for me, and I’ve become friends with her,” reveals Amanda, 53. “I met up with her while I was on holiday with Alan Carr in Greece and we saw each other in Los Angeles for dinner.
“So I feel like, more than any other act – apart from Stavros Flatley – I’m quite invested in her, socially and everything else. Because she’s just such a wonderful person, as are her gorgeous family. So it feels like a win on more levels than just her winning a golden buzzer. I’ve made a new friend, she’s great.”
Having been on the judging panel alongside Simon Cowell since the start, Amanda’s well placed to look at how the Saturday-night entertainment show has changed the lives of contestants and the panel judging them.
“Susan Boyle changed the face of television,” she says of the Scottish singer whose audition in 2009 became an internet sensation.
“It took us into the homes of people who maybe had never seen the show. Wherever I go now, I get recognised. It used to just be Europe, now it’s Dubai and America, the Philippines. It’s everywhere, because of YouTube and social media. That’s what Susan Boyle did for the show – she put us on a global stage.”
There’s one reason we’re about to witness the most golden buzzers we’ve ever seen on one series of BGT, reckons Simon – the ‘persuasiveness’ of a pumped-up audience under those bright lights in Blackpool.
“They were completely wild!” laughs Simon, 65. “What I loved about them was they were just completely enjoying the process. People might not know, but it does take a while sometimes between acts because the stage needs to be set or the golden buzzer [ticker tape] needs to be cleaned up. But they really had a good time and they really took what they did seriously.
“When we say the audience are the fifth judge, those crowds proved it – that’s why we have so many golden buzzers this series. It’s all down to them and how loud they were. Honestly, it got to the stage where I thought on a couple of acts that if we didn’t press the golden buzzer, then the audience wouldn’t let us out the building!”
Simon also says the crowd were great for a bit of banter, even if it was at times at his expense.
KSI is a different kind of entertainer, how he’s built his career – I have a lot of respect for what he’s done
Simon Cowell
“At one point this lady called me an ‘old fart’,” he laughs. “I thought it was one of the funniest things, because a lot of people would’ve ignored it, but I repeated it because it made me laugh so much. And then afterwards she was asking for a picture with me!”
With Bruno away for some of the auditions, Simon drafted in new face KSI to cover. And, he says, it was a bit of a baptism of fire for the man famed for creating the viral drink Prime.
“KSI is a different kind of entertainer, how he’s built his career – I have a lot of respect for what he’s done,” says Simon. “We were talking on the first day and he asked what advice I have for him. I said that none of us are experts on everything because you don’t know what’s going to come on.
“So all you can do is just say how the act makes you feel. Within about 20 minutes he said: ‘Wow, I had no idea it was this intense!’ But he completely embraced it. He genuinely seemed to love it and the audience embraced him.”
Holding all the auditions for this year’s BGT in Blackpool brought a new energy to the show, says Alesha.
“There’s something about audiences in Blackpool,” she explains. “I think they really understand the bones of our show. We had such a blast, it was almost like the circus had come to town.”
But while the atmosphere put everyone in a lively mood, that doesn’t mean it was party time when the day’s work was done.
“We didn’t get much time to socialise because we would start early in the morning and finish late at night,” admits Alesha, who is mum to daughters Azura, 11, and five-year-old Anaya.
FAMILY TIME
“Some people would go down to the bar, but I actually spent a bit of time playing Ludo with my lovely sister, who works with me, and my hair-and-make-up team. We sat and played Ludo, had a glass of wine, listened to some music. My little brother came to see me on one of the days and he was trying to convince me to go out in Blackpool, but it was freezing. I said: ‘There’s no way you’ll get me out of the hotel!’”
That family involvement is one of the reasons Alesha, 46, is as excited as ever about the show and has no plans to walk away, despite it being her 13th series.
“It’s amazing how time flies. I mean, what a rollercoaster it’s been,” she grins. “I feel like one of the luckiest people on television, because I think I’m on the best show on TV. If you’re loving it and you’re having a great time, why would you not want to be there? On the last day of auditions we always feel a bit sad, because we genuinely treasure it. And, you know, we’ve become like a family over the years.
“Whenever Azura comes and watches, she feels like she’s having a play date because she has a great time with [Amanda’s daughter] Hollie and [Simon’s son] Eric. They all get on so well, and they’ve all known each other for so many years, so it’s a fun day out for them. It’s a family affair, and that’s what makes it so special for everyone.”
While Alesha won’t spoil who she pushed her golden buzzer for, there’s no doubt who Azura would have gone for if she had one to press…
“Azura is obsessed with Wicked at the moment and she’d say: ‘Mummy, I really hope you get somebody that comes on and performs one of the songs from Wicked.’ Amanda and I kept speaking about it every day. On the day, we had this group come on stage and they did a tribute to Wicked. It was such a beautiful moment.”
Amanda doesn’t want to kill the magic, which I respect.”
Alesha
This is the 13th year that Alesha has sat alongside Amanda on the panel, and while her fellow judge admits that she loves to flash the flesh and get people talking about her outfits (see below), there’s no rivalry in the style stakes between them, as Alesha’s more than happy keeping it casual.
“Amanda always looks incredible and is a great sport. I think people realise that she’s just an incredibly beautiful woman who can wear what she wants if it makes her feel good,” smiles Alesha.
“We’re so different in our style naturally and we complement one another. I’m very fortunate to wear a pair of trainers at these auditions – go for the comfort, right? Amanda doesn’t want to kill the magic, which I respect.”
Alesha reveals that it didn’t take the whole gang long to get into the spirit of Blackpool, with Simon even driving the judges to the theatre in a gold metallic wrapped car with a funny cartoon print on the driver’s door that made it look like Simon was sitting on the toilet!
A NEW SIMON
“We had such a laugh in there,” grins Alesha. “Amanda had a microphone in the front and was shouting things out at people, and it wasn’t until we actually pulled up at the theatre that we got out and saw the toilet, which was very funny.
“Honestly, I was saying to Amanda that Simon over the years has become such a good sport. He’s just so up for things now – he does things on stage that I never thought I would see, things he certainly wouldn’t have been doing 10 years ago.
“I just love watching him have fun with it. That car was silly, and we love silliness on our show. The sillier, the better. With so much going on in the world, it’s just lovely to be able to go and work on a television show that makes people feel good, makes people smile and makes people laugh.
Britain’s Got Talent is one of the few gems that’s on television where everybody’s included, everybody feels a part of it. That’s rare and that needs to be treasured.”
Bruno Tonioli finally understands what BGT is all about now, since it’s his third year as a judge, but he loves the fact that the acts still take him by surprise.
“It goes from the amazing to the grotesque and everything in between,” laughs the former Strictly Come Dancing judge. “We are just like: ‘What is this?’ You’re in tears and then there’s a moment when you’re crying with laughter. That’s the beauty of the show. It’s a celebration of variety. There are some acts that, if it wasn’t for Britain’s Got Talent, they wouldn’t be seen – but they deserve to be seen. Singers, dancers, acrobats, aerialists, comedians… You name it, we have it.”
Simon, Alesha and Amanda all agree that livewire Bruno brings a special energy to the room, so it’s hard to believe that he’s a pensioner and will be turning 70 in late November.
“In my mind it’s just a number,” he insists. “I don’t define myself and I don’t think anyone should define themselves by a number. You should define yourself by your passion, what you want to do, by your interests.”
Since Bruno joined BGT in 2023, Simon has felt all together more good-natured and up for a laugh. Do we have Bruno to thank for that?
“The funny thing is, which is the truth, I never actually watched the show before I joined,” chuckles Bruno.
“But Simon has always been like that. He is very cheeky, naturally, and very funny in a very twisted way. I still fall for it, you know: ‘Oh, god, he’s winding me up…’ I keep forgetting!”
Even so, Alesha and Amanda have been urging him to organise some major celebrations to mark his landmark birthday.
“The girls have made a few suggestions, they’re much better than me at this kind of thing – I’m not a planner. Amanda is very efficient, she’s on it!” laughs Bruno, who suggests that he might want to keep his celebration “small and private”. “I always like surprises. I’m still like when I was 18 – I can’t wait to see what happens next. I always like to have this sense of adventure. I never plan anything unless I have a job to do.”
Of course, Bruno’s had a lot on his mind lately, with wild fires causing devastation in Los Angeles – which is where he lives when filming Dancing With The Stars, the US version of Strictly.
“I called all my friends in LA as soon as I finished the auditions in Blackpool. Fortunately, they are okay,” he says. “A few had to go to Palm Springs because they couldn’t move back in because of all the smoke. And my house is okay.
I don’t have that power, unfortunately. I can’t hire myself, my darling!”
Bruno Tonioli
“But it’s devastating, it just makes you cry. It is apocalyptic. I know they will rebuild. I have faith that they are very energetic, positive people, and I know that they will come back stronger than ever.”
As for the future, Bruno says he’d love to stay with BGT. However, after five decades in show business, he’s a realist and knows that decision lies with ITV and Simon Cowell.
“As long as they want me, I’m having a fantastic time,” he grins. “But it’s not for me to say, it’s up to them, isn’t it? I don’t have that power, unfortunately. I can’t hire myself, my darling!”
Britain’s Got Talent starts on Saturday, February 22 at 7pm on ITV.

A COUPLE who found fame on Chateau DIY have put their incredible French home up for sale for an eyewatering £2.5 MILLION.
The Channel 4 show celebrates the trials and incredible transformations of British families restoring ancient properties from all areas of France.
Chateau DIY made stars of Sarah and George when they opened their magnificent home up to the show in season 4.
The couple have renovated the property themselves, and spared no expense when it came to attention to detail.
Sarah and George bought the chateau almost 15 years ago, and have split their time between the UK and their French home ever since.
When they first purchased the property, major renovations were needed in the first few months just to make the place habitable.
At the same time as renovating the chateau they were also raising their two children.
The pair already had plenty of experience in restoring period properties before they bought the chateau.
Fans watched in awe as Sarah and George took viewers on a tour of their home on Chateau DIY, and now it’s up for sale.
For a cool £2.5M this French dream home could be yours.
Built in 1823, this chateau includes seven bedrooms and seven bathrooms.
If that wasn’t enough there is a wine cellar, basement, office and laundry room.
The property also includes a guest house, which includes a kitchen, dining room, living room, three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
There is also a swimming pool and pool house, plus plush gardens, woods and meadows.
Chateau DIY is so popular with viewers that it was recently revealed how Channel 4 have commissioned more episodes of the hit programme.
Historically the show has been commissioned as 30 hour-long episodes, but the new order has been expanded to 45 episodes each series, for the next two years.
Streaming figures for Chateau DIY have increased every season.
When the show airs on Channel 4, it is always given the prime 5pm slot, securing a peak audience share.
The last series averaged a 622,000 audience, comfortably above the 480,000 channel benchmark.
Joff Hatfield-Powell, who has helmed Chateau DIY since its launch said: “Chateau DIY is a well-loved franchise which continues to deliver on linear and streaming so I am delighted with Channel 4’s increased commitment for more”
The Chateau DIY brand also includes the More 4 spin-off series Chateau DIY: Living the Dream which takes a look back at the British families buying and renovating beautiful chateaux in France.
Chateau DIY is available to stream on Channel 4.
A POPULAR popstar has been forced to cancel a gig after falling ill.
Fans were expecting to see the 40-year-old perform his biggest hits from Troublemaker to Dance with Me Tonight in Dubai.
However, singer Olly Murs said he was “so gutted” to have to pull out.
He wrote on Instagram last night: “To everyone here in Dubai, unfortunately due to doctor’s orders I am having to cancel tonight’s show at Bla-Bla because of a throat infection.
“I’m so gutted. I look forward to coming back ASAP and will share new date information as soon as I can! Olly x.”
He looked unwell in a picture he posted of himself on Saturday morning.
Olly captioned it: “A man with a broken voice.
“Gutted Dubai, I’ll be back.”
Olly had been set to perform at the poolside venue, Bla Bla, in Dubai on February 21.
The Essex lad found fame on The X Factor in 2009.
He’s since conquered the world of music and TV – and become a dad to daughter Madison.
