Social media erupted with reactions, with one fan posting: "Jade dropping the word **** at 15:52 on a sunny summer afternoon at Glasto? Like I said, ICON! !", reports the Mirror. Another chimed in: "Jade said **** live on the BBC and it's not even 4pm. Icons only." Yet another viewer remarked: "This year's #Glastonbury catchphrase is definitely 'Tina thinks you're a ****.'" Adding to the commentary, someone tweeted: "Jade dropping the word **** was not on bingo card." Over on BBC iPlayer, viewers are cautioned that the stream "Contains very strong language and flashing images." (Image: Redferns) (Image: Redferns) JADE was visibly moved as fans joined in with her songs, taking a moment to honour her Little Mix bandmates Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards, while touching on Jesy Nelson's exit from the group in 2020. During her Glastonbury set, the artist took a moment to thank her former band: "Firstly, shout out to Little Mix. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am to those girls for literally changing my life and who would have thought then that we would have a Little Mix girlie up here on the Glastonbury stage. But I can't lie, it feels good doing my own songs that I've written from my heart." She added: "That was the old me, now it's time for something new." She then excitedly announced some surprise performers, bringing Confidence Man onto the stage. Expressing her views candidly, JADE performed her popular song FUFN, an acronym for 'F*** you for now', where she calls out a variety of contentious issues. Her lyrics screamed "Reform! Transphobia! Selling arms! Genocide!" inciting the audience to fervently respond with "F*** you." Leading up to the event, Jade enthused about her performance: "a big a-- SHOW", and reminded fans on Saturday morning with a post saying: "It's a big one @glastonbury. See you on the Woodsies stage at 3.15pm. Make sure you get down early! ! If you're not at the festival, you can watch my set live on @BBCiPlayer." The performance by Jade at Glastonbury was met with widespread acclaim, as live attendees and those tuning in via social media celebrated her set. An enthusiastic fan shared on Twitter: "Jade getting emotional at the Glastonbury crowd singing along with her is making me cry, so proud of her," Another emotionally remarked: "This little mix medley Jade is doing at Glastonbury is making me emotional." One additional comment from a fan highlighted an unfulfilled wish: "It's criminal that Little Mix never performed at Glastonbury but having Jade perform a Little Mix medley is the next best thing." Another attendee gushed: "JADE IS KILLING THIS." Yet another added: "JADE really is the whole package isn't she. Absolute superstar."

The Fat Badger review: ‘The genius is that it seems so simple — it isn't'
The doorman greets us at an inconspicuous side door. He shows us upstairs to a wood-panelled bar, where a cool jazz band are performing to an audience that seems to consist of the forty best-looking people in the postcode. That's saying something — in this part of the capital, if you drink the water you get Botox by proxy. I'd been holding off going to the Fat Badger. In fact, I was actively grumpy with it. An article appeared in the Standard a few months ago calling it 'London's invite-only pub' and I thought, 'Screw them. I live in the best restaurant city in the world, with a gem on every corner yearning for my custom. I'm not begging to get into your silly cool-kids-only treehouse.' Actually, that's not what I thought. What I thought was, 'Oh no, I've not been invited to the party.' And I felt a bit sad. Then I forgot all about it. Until now. It turns out that the Fat Badger is not an invite-only pub. They let everyone in, even me. The chef — George Williams, formerly of the excellent Bull at Charlbury and only in his early thirties —came over to explain. At first it wasn't open to the public as the kitchen was still experimenting. Williams used friends as guinea pigs for his dishes, some of which, he says, were 'not very good at all'. The dishes, not the friends. It wasn't an invite-only pub, it was a soft launch. • Charlotte Ivers: Lury, Hastings, restaurant review — 'I implore you to go' This was, admittedly, a foolhardy idea. The Fat Badger is part of the Public House Group, the company behind many of London's most fashionable new restaurants — the Hero, the Pelican, Canteen. When customers got wind that PHG was opening somewhere new, they all wanted to go. And poor Williams has spent two months assuring angry punters that he wasn't running an invite-only pub. I'm choosing to believe him, mainly because running an invite-only pub would be an utterly deranged business choice. So come one, come all. And thank goodness, because for my money Williams is one of the best chefs of his generation. I've suspected this since I went to the Bull last year and ate lentils far more thrilling than lentils have any right to be. The Fat Badger confirms it. Upstairs from the jazz bar, in a low-ceilinged, log cabin-style room with an open kitchen, we are checked for allergies and told to await whatever food arrives. • Charlotte Ivers: Noodle and Beer review — 'It's a little bit magical' And arrive it does. Little tacos made from thin slices of celeriac, containing a strip of mackerel and bright tomatillo salsa. A second set, with crunchy nuggets of veal sweetbread, makes me gasp with joy. Sodabread, almost treacley, and whipped butter. Then tiny slivers of pigeon on toast, with a burnt apple relish. They taste like sweet, rich, delicately burnt toast: charcoally and full of childhood memories. Then the starter arrives — a fillet of turbot in a puddle of foamy lobster bisque with firm, bright peas that are somehow the star of the show. As with those lentils at the Bull, peas have no right to be the star of any show; particularly not a show including lobster. For the main, a fat, pink fillet steak with morels (guests on their second visit are offered pork chops, to keep the menu varied). On the side, hasselback potatoes and an elegant green salad, seemingly made up of everything left in the fridge: flame-grilled asparagus, pickled radish, beetroot, courgette, a selection of leaves. It works so well. At heart this is just steak, potatoes and salad. The genius of this place is that it all seems so simple. It isn't: all the ingredients are so cleverly balanced, so frequently surprising. • Charlotte Ivers: One Club Row review — 'Nowhere on earth could possibly be more fun' Dessert is three dishes to share: honey tart (almost a flan), strawberry ripple knickerbocker glory (too sweet for me) and strawberry and basil sorbet (delicious). I can barely eat more than a spoonful of each. That's my only criticism (apart from the three flights of stairs to the loo). It's a big old production and £85 a head before the service charge, or the cheapest bottle of wine (mildly upsettingly: £65). But then the day after I went they announced they are starting lunch service; at £55, with a lighter menu. Such is the power of my pen, no doubt, that they'd answered my criticism before I even wrote it. Look, this is still more a place for a special treat than a casual Tuesday lunch. But the Fat Badger is absolutely worth it. And the best part? Everyone's invited.★★★★★

BBC fans stunned by 'outrageous moment' during JADE's Glastonbury set
Jade Thirlwall preformed for the first time at Glastonbury Festival this weekend. BBC viewers were left stunned by a jaw-dropping moment during JADE's Glastonbury debut when the singer dropped a swear word live on TV. The 32-year-old artist took to the stage at the festical for the first time today, where she reflected on her time in Little Mix, crediting the girl group with changing her life. But JADE also shared her excitement for pursuing her solo career. Performing on the Woodsies stage, Jade treated fans to songs from her upcoming album That's Showbiz Baby! alongside iconic Little Mix songs including Shout Out to my Ex, Woman Like Me and Touch, the Mirror reports. But it was her performance of Gossip - featuring Australian electro pop band Condifence Man - that sparked controversy, as she used the word "c--t" during the song. Fans were shocked that the word wasn't beeped out from the BBC live stream of the festival this afternoon, and many were quick to take to social media to share their thoughts. One user took to twitter, writing: "Jade dropping the word **** at 15:52 on a sunny summer afternoon at Glasto? Like I said, ICON!!" As another said: "Jade said **** live on the BBC and it's not even 4pm. Icons only," while a third penned: "This year's #Glastonbury catchphrase is definitely 'Tina thinks you're a ****.'" With a forth expressing their shock, as they stated: "Jade dropping the word **** was not on bingo card." However on BBC iPlayer, the livestream came with a disclaimer, which said: "Contains very strong language and flashing images." JADE became extremely emotional as fans sang along with her and at one point she paid tribute to her Little Mix band mates, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards - Jesy Nelson was also originally part of the girl group, before she left in 2020. While on stage at Glastonbury, singer and songwriter JADE said: "Firstly, shout out to Little Mix. I can't begin to explain how grateful I am to those girls for literally changing my life and who would have thought then that we would have a Little Mix girlie up here on the Glastonbury stage. But I can't lie, it feels good doing my own songs that I've written from my heart." She continued: "That was the old me, now it's time for something new." She then told the crowd she was bringing out some special guests, before welcoming Confidence Man to the stage. JADE also used her Glastonbury performance to make a bold political statement during a powerful rendition of her track FUFN, short for F*** You For Now. The singer expressed her distain for Reform UK. The song includes a section where she calls out various issues she takes a stand against, giving them the middle finger. During her set, she chanted: "Reform! Transphobia! Selling arms! Genocide!", with the crowd echoing back a resounding "F*** you." At the start of the week, Jade promised fans her set would be "a big a-- SHOW" and on Saturday morning she posted, "It's a big one @glastonbury. See you on the Woodsies stage at 3.15pm. Make sure you get down early!! f you're not at the festival, you can watch my set live on @BBCiPlayer." Her performance was met with widespread praise, as festival-goers cheered her on throughout her set, while fans watching live on the BBC took to social media to share their reactions. 'Jade getting emotional at the Glastonbury crowd singing along with her is making me cry, so proud of her,' one fan tweeted. Another wrote: "This little mix medley Jade is doing at Glastonbury is making me emotional." A third added: "It's criminal that Little Mix never performed at Glastonbury but having Jade perform a Little Mix medley is the next best thing." Another post read: "JADE IS KILLING THIS.' And one more admirer shared: 'JADE really is the whole package isn't she. Absolute superstar."
