HARRY Potter star Jessie Cave reveals she secretly split from her nepo-baby partner Alfie Brown as she admits fears they could break up again.

The pair have launched their brand new podcast Before We Break Up Again (BWBUA) where the couple speak about the highs and Lows of parenthood and the challenges that have tested their relationship.

In the first episode of the pod which dropped this week, the hosts jokingly declared that it will run “from now until we break up again.”

During the episode, Jessie opened up about her concerns, admitting: “I also am worried about doing a podcast with you and you’ve been very good about vocalising this because we’re worried that it will break us up genuinely.”

Speaking about the stress that the podcast could cause the Harry Potter star confessed: “(The podcast) It’s going to be me talking about traumas, talking about how you have somehow caused my traumas, how you are somehow to blame for my traumas.”

The mum-of-four went on to talk about the challenges of motherhood and how pregnancy has really helped her over the years.

She said: “I really thought that I would be able to do more work and do it all, I thought I would be able to do that and I now know is just a lie you cannot do it all.

“I’m really happy when I’m pregnant and I really haven’t been happy in so long.

“My career is slightly f***ked at the moment but at least I’ve got those moments (motherhood) and I’m happy for that to be the sacrifice.”

In 2012, Alfie and Jessie first crossed paths at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where they were both performing stand-up.

Two years later, the two were set up on a date through a mutual friend.

They went home together but didn’t see each other again – until four months later when Jessie discovered she was pregnant with his child.

They welcomed their son, Donnie, in October 2014, followed by their daughter 2 years later.

But, in 2018 the couple went through a complicated breakup.

Speaking with The Sunday Times, Jessie revealed that she’s not sure if the pair ‘will remain a couple for ever’.

She continued: “We broke up when she (their Daughter) was only a few months old.

“It suddenly all felt so grown-up: I was insecure and thought we needed to develop as adults on our own.

“In truth, I never actually wanted to break up, but the idea snowballed and then it was too late.

“We got back together after a couple of years of angst and personal growth. Both of us now agree that the break-up was worth it.”

In October 2020, they had a second son, and by December 2021, they announced they were expecting their fourth child.

Jessie who is an actress, comedian, author, and cartoonist is mostly known for her role as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter franchise.

Alfie Brown who is also a successful comedian was born to composer Steve Brown and impressionist Jan Ravens.

He began performing stand-up in 2006 and is known for his work at the Edinburgh Festival and Next Up Comedy series.

Show bosses have green lit a four hour-long specials for Dave Gorman: Modern Life is Goodish, which comes seven years after Gorman was axed.

Last year Gorman opened up about the comeback as he said: “I’m delighted to be getting back in the Goodish saddle.

“It’s been 7 years since I hung up my Modern Life Is Goodish clicker and in that time, life has definitely got 7 years moderner – so there should be plenty to get my teeth into.”

Modern Life is Goodish originally aired between 2013 and 2017 for five series.

It pulled in a loyal fan base and held an average 1.5 million viewers per episode.

Gorman originally stepped back from his comedy show after struggling with an intense workload, which had him clocking 100 hours per week.

UKTV boss Mark Iddon said: “I’m massively thrilled to announce the return of Modern Life Is Goodish to the U&Dave audience.

“Dave Gorman’s unique comedic insights and witty PowerPoint presentations have always resonated with our audience…

“His ability to dissect the quirks of modern life with humour and intelligence is unmatched.

“I can’t wait to dive back into the joyous and thought-provoking observations that make modern life not just good, but goodish.

“In a world where everything’s ‘meh’, we could use a dose of ‘ish’. It’s great to have you back, Dave!”

Dave Gorman: Modern Life is Goodish airs at 9pm on U&Dave on Monday 24th February.

SAM Thompson today appeared to take a savage swipe at his ex Zara McDermott as he revealed which dating show he’d like to sign up to following their split.

Sam and Zara have both been keeping busy since their shock break-up.

The I’m A Celebrity champ has been working on multiple TV projects, and this week returned to the Love Island: The Morning After podcast.

However, whilst on today’s episode Sam appeared to take a swipe at his ex Zara when he revealed he was ready to sign up to a dating show.

Speaking on the podcast, he revealed how much he’d love to do Love Island.

“I have never been in the villa, but I would LOVE TOO!” Sam revealed.

Meanwhile, while Sam has got stuck into work Zara recently headed to Paris to get over her heartbreak.

The former Islander looked continental chic as she shared multiple snaps from her time in the French capital.

A source close to Zara told The Sun at the time: “It’s been a tough time for Zara. The trip to Paris just helped her get away from it all.

“Zara just wants to try to focus on work and get herself together.

“They split some time before it officially emerged and she is now living apart from him.”

SHOCK SPLIT

Fans were left in shock when reality TV’s golden couple split at the beginning of the year.

A source close to Zara and Sam said: “Sam and Zara have ended their relationship.

“It’s been an incredibly difficult decision for them to part ways; they still care and have a lot of love for each other.

“But after a tough year of working hard at their romance, they have split and will be focusing on their individual careers going forward into 2025.

“There has been no scandal or fallout between them, it’s just the result of a difficult year, where they both had to spend a lot of time focused on their own projects.”

“Although they have known it’s been over for a while, Sam and Zara are both devastated and heartbroken that they couldn’t make it work as they had so much love for each other,” a source shared to OK! Magazine in the wake of their split.

The Sun revealed how Sam and Zara had been living separately for months leading up to their shock break-up.

Our source added that when the couple “had problems” back in the summer, they “vowed to give it one more try” and hoped that they could “work through their issues”.

GARETH SOUTHGATE has announced his next career move – and it’s not a job in football.

The 54-year-old stepped down from his role as England manager following the Euro 2024 final last July.

Gareth Southgate is releasing a new book[/caption]

He is yet to accept another full-time job in football but has been taking up some temporary roles.

Southgate is a technical observer for Uefa and recently became a visiting lecturer at Harvard Business School.

But now he is set for a completely new challenge – writing a book.

The former England manager’s new book is set to focus on leadership.

It is expected to feature some of the lessons he learned while guiding the Three Lions to successive European Championship finals.

Southgate’s book is titled ‘Dear England’ and is scheduled to be released in October.

The ex-England boss said: “After stepping down as England manager following eight very special years, I’ve been reflecting on what I have lived through and what comes next.

“Coaching top players and playing against some of the best teams in the world pushed me to operate at the highest level in football.

“Rather than write a memoir of those times I decided to share my experiences in a different way, through the lens of leadership which I hope will provide lessons for anyone who wants to discover their own authentic leadership style.”

Publishing director Ben Brusey went on to add: “Just as Gareth inspired the nation with his England leadership, every page of his book will inspire readers with his characteristic sense of purpose, honesty, resilience and integrity. 

“This will be a landmark leadership book, which I know will be enjoyed by readers for years to come.”

Southgate received a knighthood in the New Year’s Honours list at the start of 2025.

He followed in the footsteps of Sir Bobby Robson and Sir Alf Ramsey in being knighted for services to sport.

Belle Gibson is the latest fraudster to have a TV show made on how she swindled people out of money by pretending healthy eating and green juices cured her brain cancer.

However, it soon became clear that Belle’s natural remedies didn’t work and that she never even had cancer to begin with.

9 NEWS / 60 MINUTES

The influencer claimed to have cured her brain cancer with a healthy diet[/caption]

The dramatised Netflix show titled Apple Cider Vinegar follows Belle as she becomes an overnight success with a wellness app that ‘helped her beat cancer.’

In 2013, the 24-year-old Australian launched the best-selling app and made headline news for her against-the-odds story of surviving cancer with a healthy lifestyle.

Starting as a blogger in 2009, Belle claimed she was diagnosed with “malignant brain cancer” and given “six to eight months” to live.

However, Belle said she had chosen to withdraw from chemotherapy and radiotherapy treatment, and instead embarked on “a quest to heal myself naturally… through nutrition, patience, determination and love”. 

She credited her diet with curing her cancer, releasing The Whole Pantry app and cookbook to share her recipes.

With 200,000 followers on Instagram at the time, many of whom were cancer patients, she conned them into thinking she had found a cure.

And one of those was fellow Aussie Bella Johnston.

At the age of 19, Bella was diagnosed with a paraganglioma, a rare endocrine tumour, in 2009 and was surrounded by older people in the hospital leaving her feeling isolated.

So when she found Belle’s social media and saw she was roughly the same age and battling cancer too, she was hooked.

Bella saw that the influencer had claimed to manage the disease with diet, exercise and alternative medicine and as a result, Bella wanted to follow in her footsteps.

But unbeknownst to Bella, the cancer survivor she looked up to was a con artist who had never had the disease.

Now Bella has taken to TikTok (spicyjohnston) to reveal she fell for the scam, writing: “When I was 15 I was misdiagnosed with anorexia, but at 19 they found out it was actually cancer.

“Then I got scammed by a woman who said she could cure it with green juice and now there’s a documentary and TV show about it on Netflix.”

Bella used the hashtags Bellegibson and AppleciderVinegar under the video.

Look at this woman, look at how healthy she is, she’s got brain cancer.

Bella Johnston

Speaking on the ITV documentary, Instagram’s Worst Con Artist, Bella, now 29, said it was easy to compare herself to Belle and feel like she should take a different approach to her treatment.

She said: “I guess there was that ideology that it was the medicine that makes you look sick, and she’s got cancer, but she looks so good because she fuels her body with this amazing food, and I look like s*** because I went down the modern medicine route.”

“I tried to discuss with my parents about letting go of the conventional medicine side of things and exploring alternative medicine and I used Belle Gibson as an example.

“I was like: ‘Look at this woman, look at how healthy she is, she’s got brain cancer.’

“So, I started to incorporate the alternative medicine side of things into my life as much as I could, [including] green juices, smoothies, organics, superfoods, coconut water, all that kind of stuff.”

She concluded: “I just wanted to be like she was, I put her on such a pedestal, I just thought she was amazing.”

Thankfully, Bella still underwent radiotherapy and surgery to remove the cancer and was given the all-clear five years after her diagnosis in 2014.

Like the rest of Belle’s followers, she was left in utter shock when in 2015, the influencer admitted to lying about having cancer at all.

It began when she wrote on Instagram that her cancer was back and had spread.

Suspicions grew about the likelihood of Belle’s story and whether the various charities she promised to give money to from her book sales actually came to fruition.

Following an investigation by Fairfax Media, it was discovered that none of the charities Belle had named had received a penny from her.

In an interview with Australia Women’s Weekly, she said: ‘No… None of it’s true,’ before adding she hoped people would forgive her.

Two years later, Belle was fined £215,000 ($410,000 AUD) after being found guilty of misleading and deceptive conduct.

The former wellness blogger has now identified with the Oromo ethnic group in Melbourne, even taking to wearing a headscarf and calling herself ‘Sabontu’.

BRITAIN’S busiest motorway is set to face closures lasting up to 8 days. 

Millions of car journeys will be thrown into chaos as National Highways pushes ahead with efforts to improve the M25.

The closures come as National Highways saw many of their projects delayed by 2024’s “extreme weather”. 

Senior project manager Johnathan Wade said:  “Periods of extreme weather in 2024 delayed some elements of our work but since then we’ve worked hard to recoup that time and still complete the on-road elements on schedule.”

The motorway will first face disruption between February 21 and February 24, as all J10 entry and exit slip roads are closed. 

The section will then be closed, in both directions, between J10 and J11, from 7-10 March and 21-24 March. 

Over the course of these closures, old bridges will be demolished and removed.

Closures will begin at 9pm on Friday and the roads will only reopen at 6am on Monday. 

The A3 northbound will face disruption between 11-14 April, alongside the Cobham roundabout. 

National Highway has been carrying out a £316 million project to improve junction 10, which has seen them install structures for pedestrians, horse-riders and cyclists. 

They have also installed a safe corridor for wildlife. 

The Cockcrow Green Bridge is a UK first, as it provides a 100ft corridor of lowland heath-land.

That particular habitat is beloved by some of the most mysterious UK wildlife, including birds and reptiles.

Ahead of the disruption, Jonathan said: “Unfortunately, it’s simply not possible to carry out this scale of infrastructure improvement, which will benefit millions of people in the long term, without there being some degree of short-term disruption.

“We have spent months planning these closures, but they will still cause significant congestion and delays, so we are asking road users to allow extra time and use alternative routes where possible.”

TIKTOK star Bailey Hutchins has tragically died aged 26 after battling cancer.

Hutchins’ devasted husband Caden confirmed her death in an Instagram post saying she is “no longer in pain”.

Caden said: “I’m devastated to say that my Bailey B has passed away last night.

“She fought such a tough incredible fight these past two years and she’s no longer suffering from all the torturous pain she has endured during this journey.

“Being your husband and caregiver has been such a blessing to me. I am still in disbelief and denial that I just lost my best friend.

“You were and always will be such a light in any room you fill Bailey and such an inspiration to others.

“Your faith could move mountains. Baby, unfortunately, God had bigger plans for you Up Above. Until we meet again.”

Hutchins charted her cancer journey on her popular TikTok account, where she raised awareness about the early signs of the illness.

She was diagnosed with stage 4 colorectal cancer with peritoneal metastasis in 2023 at the age of 24.
