Celebrities flock to exciting new art show celebrating women
A host of famous faces turned out to support an exciting art exhibition championing women. Socialite Lady Victoria Hervey, Celebrity Big Brother favourite Nicola McLean and reality star Jack Fincham all attended the show the Yield Gallery.
They all raised a toast to the She Who Dares showcase, with boasts work from two of the UK's most exciting emerging artists, Fern and Danielle Tomlinson. Also there was Love Island 's Tasha Ghouri 's new squeeze, wildlife YouTuber Cam Whitnall. The pair went public with their relationship at Ferne Cotton's Happy Place Festival at the weekend and are said to have been dating a couple of months.
Fern and Danielle Tomlinson welcomed the celebs to the launch of their exhibition in London. Fern's work explores modern femininity through vivid colour and cultural commentary, while Danielle brings the animal kingdom to life with expressive wildlife portraits. Both artists are using their platforms to support causes they care deeply about.
Fern will donate 5% of profits from her new series to Bowel Cancer UK, following her mother's recent diagnosis. And Danielle will donate 5% of her proceeds to Big Cat Sanctuary, aligning with her long standing advocacy for animal welfare and environmental stewardship.
The exhibition is now open at the gallery's Eastcastle Street location just off Oxford Street. With pieces ranging from accessible limited edition prints (£500) to major original works (£20,000), She Who Dares is designed to welcome both seasoned and first time collectors.
'It was important to us that this show didn't just celebrate powerful women in art, but also empowered those behind the scenes, artists giving back, collectors engaging with purpose, and a gallery willing to take bold curatorial risks,' says David Izzard, Founder and CEO of Yield Gallery. 'This is the kind of exhibition that defines why we do what we do.'
'It's rare to see a joint show that balances such strong individuality with shared values,' adds Lily Pritchard, Creative Manager at Yield. 'This is about two women using art to express, challenge, and give back, and it's exactly the kind of energy the art world needs right now.'
Artist Danielle knows Cam through their joint interest in Big Cat Sanctuary, a non-profit wild cat charity in Kent where he is director. Cam and Tasha were spotted holding hands on out at Fearne Cotton's Happy Place festival at Gunnersbury Park.
Last week Tasha confirmed she'd bagged herself a new man. Saying she was in the 'early dating stages' with someone else, she told Rylan Clark in an interview: 'We clicked straight away, like he's very ambitious, he's driven… we've just been enjoying our company and just seeing what happens really.'

The influencers misled you on Bali? Follow me — I'm an uninfluencer
Zoe Rae, the sister of Molly-Mae Hague — look, you watch Love Island or you don't; I can't watch it for you — has been much in the news for leaving the Indonesian island of Bali after 48 hours because 'it's not how it looked on Instagram'. She added: 'We came here with high expectations because we had seen on social media that everyone was having a lovely time.' She has incurred much derision, but my heart went out to her just as my heart goes out to anybody who falls for a carefully curated narrative, then discovers the 'reality' doesn't exist. The disappointment must be terrible. I'd have packed up and headed off to Dubai too. However, it did give me an idea. Should I set myself up as an 'uninfluencer'? I have no qualifications as such but what qualifications do 'influencers' have? Apart from being able to sit on that part of the brain capable of shame? I think it also helps to be a total idiot but that's not based on any real evidence, just this feeling I have. I don't know why I have that feeling. Just do. It does come naturally to me, not influencing anyone. I think you either have it or you don't and I've always had it. Nobody has ever asked me about what I'm wearing and where it might be from. Ever, ever, ever. One time I was wearing my glasses and my editor at the time said, 'You know Armani do really nice glasses,' and I said, 'I think these are Armani,' and she said, 'They just don't look it on you.' I kvelled, because not everyone has the gift for that. I wondered if I should contact Armani and ask if they'd pay me to say the glasses were from Specsavers. • The new Superman is terrible. Here's what they should have done The financial opportunities for an uninfluencer could be boundless. Do you know it's nigh on impossible to buy unbranded trainers? How much would trainer companies pay me to not wear theirs? Quite a lot, I'd imagine. I would also promise not to bring out a range of dishes under the Royal Doulton name, so long as the money was right. They may have to battle it out with Wedgwood. My lawyers are, in fact, onto it and have had all sorts of offers from all sorts of companies saying they're desperate for me not to enter a brand partnership with them. Boden is willing to pay a fortune, as is Hush. I'm now so busy with all this I wouldn't have the time to unbox socks while pretending to be excited even if anyone paid me to do so. I have so much to offer as an uninfluencer. In fact I hope to be the first port of call for anyone who can't be arsed to decant their spices into Mason jars, wishes to know how dog hair is being worn this season — abundantly! — and I will show you the best washing machine for leaving everything in there until it smells and you have to do it all over again. (I have a Bosch for leaving washing in until it smells; #notapaidpromotion.) Also, hopefully it will be the first port of call for anyone who wakes every morning not to a tower of perfect pancakes or a Reformer Pilates class but with an immense fart. Some mornings it even lifts me off the bed! I can practically touch the ceiling! You just can't bottle things like that. Or could I? No, no, no. I mustn't go that route. If I start selling stupid stuff to people that I got for nothing it's game over as an uninfluencer. My trainers, by the way, are New Balance. I'm sorry, New Balance, that you had to read it here but if I swap to Nike, how much? Have you worked out your Salt Path name yet? Mr Salt Path is called 'Moth', which perplexed everybody until it was revealed it's a corruption of his actual name, Timothy. The 'Moth' is in there. Between the 'Ti' and the 'y'. Not all names are suitable. A few syllables are necessary. My Salt Path name would be 'Bora', which puts me in mind of Bora Bora, yet another island that as a destination probably isn't up there with Dubai. • What the Salt Path fiasco tells us about publishing I don't mind 'Bora'. I could live with it. Slave Niece would be called 'Orgi' (work it out). She doesn't like it but if I were to drag her along on a very long walk, that's what she'd have to be. Think of the sales, I'd tell her. Think of the prizes. Think of the movie. Trust me on this, Orgi. We might even be offered an extended stay on an ancient cider farm if we play our cards right while also keeping them close to our chest. Prudence is a good one, as that would be 'Rude', while Constance would be 'Stan'. And Sylvester Stallone would be 'Vest Stallone', which is just about perfect as he spends most of his movies seeing off whole armies while wearing one. Meanwhile, my obsession with the Salt Path couple is abating. John and Gregg have seen to that but, even so, when I read the headline 'Rayner acted despicably over bin strikes, Unite boss claims', I did think, 'Holy moly, what's that woman been up to now?' before I realised it was Angela Rayner and not Raynor. Do you, I wonder, have a Salt Path-able name? If so, what is it?

Love Island's Cach breaks down in tears and is comforted by Ty in heart-wrenching scenes after dramatic recoupling as fans urge 'protect him at all costs!'
Love Island's Cacherel 'Cach' Mercer broke down in tears during Wednesday's episode following the dramatic recoupling which saw Toni Laites recouple with Harrison. Toni surprised the villa on Monday night when she picked to recouple with Harrison instead of Cach, despite telling him she was done with him. Cach entered as a Casa Amor bombshell and swept Toni off her feet, while she was on and off with Harrison. The shock turn of events left Cach in tears as he took a moment on the terrace to cry on Ty's shoulder - which left fans in tears. 'I can't believe I'm crying. I haven't cried in years,' Cach told Ty. Ty told him: 'This is real though, it's you. It's better to let stuff like this out than bottle it up. It doesn't make you any less of a man, in fact more of a man.' Love Island fans were left in tears as they took to X to share their heartbreak and urged to 'protect him at all costs'. Some comments read: 'Cach is breaking my heart', 'CASH I AM SO SORRY YOU ARE BREAKING MY HEART!!! YOU DESERVE SO MUCH BETTER!!!!!!', 'Protect Cache at all costs my heart is breaking for him', 'This is so hard to watch! Cach crying really breaks my heart', 'Okay now seeing Cach cry? My heart is breaking for this poor boy. He has a heart of gold', 'Nah, seeing 2 men like this is so beautiful. A man crying & being comforted by another man. Wow. Heart warming scenes man'. Toni and Harrison took their exes for a chat following the explosive and upsetting recoupling to explain and apologise - but neither of them have any of it. Love Island fans were left in tears as they took to X to share their heartbreak and urged to 'protect him at all costs' Cach didn't hold back as he told Toni: 'That was one of the most embarrassing things I've been through in my entire life… 'You knew what decision you wanted to make, you were just waiting for the go ahead from someone else.' As he walked off, he said: 'I can't respect that. Good luck with your endeavours.' Lauren Wood told Harrison: 'I've wasted my whole time getting to know you for no reason… To do what you've done to me tonight is so disrespectful.' 'I feel like everything has been a lie.' Love Island fans have branded Harrison 'disgusting' after he crawled back to Toni after having sex with Lauren during Tuesday night's episode and admitted it wasn't the first time. As the couple's settled down to sleep, one pair had other ideas as they were seen getting frisky under the covers. And it wasn't long until they took things to the next level as Harrison was seen whispering across the beds as he asked Harry whether he had a condom. After Harry passed the wrapper to his friend, Lauren was seen climbing on top of Harrison before the camera panned away to show their islanders shocked faces. And the next day as Lauren chatted with Helena and Meg, she confessed it wasn't the first time the couple had slept together as she admitted they had gone all the way the other night too. Yet despite the intimacy, Harrison was quick to change his mind on who he had a greater connection with as he went crawling back to Toni after news of a shock recoupling. Speaking to Harry he confessed: 'I want Toni' before he met with her on the terrace to beg her to give him another chance. And shockingly Toni once again chose to give things another go with her former flame, despite insisting she was 'done' earlier in the episode. Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans didn't hold back with their comments as they penned: 'Harrison is disgusting you're having sex with Lauren knowing you don't even like her and Lauren is just a whole mess both of you go home I'm sick of it'. 'And she still doesn't know he's sh****d Lauren twice this is so dirty someone intervene'; 'I beg Lauren stands up and mentions they sh****d twice Harrison ain't even told Toni yet loool'; Taking to X, formerly Twitter, fans didn't hold back with their comments as they penned: 'Harrison is disgusting you're having sex with Lauren knowing you don't even like her and Lauren is just a whole mess both of you go home I'm sick of it' Toni and Harrison have had a rollercoaster journey since Harrison brought back the bombshell to the main villa after Casa Amor 'had sex with lauren TWICE mind you, now he wants toni back'; 'Harrison wants Toni but he's having sex with Lauren. Toni and Harrison are such weirdos'; 'Harrison asking for a condom and proceeding to have sex in a room full of people ??? Disgusting'; 'How do they feel so comfortable having sex with people in the room?!'; 'Having sex with other people in the room is one thing, but on NATIONAL TV??'; 'Where is Toni sleeping? Cos if Harrison & Lauren are having sex in the same room, the respect is below hell'; 'harrison and lauren are CRAZY bc how are you having sex in a room full of people AND asking for a condom'. Harrison and Toni officially recoupled at the end of the episode, while Lauren was left in tears after she was forced to recouple with Ty. Love Island continues tonight at 9pm on ITV1 and ITVX.

Tammy Hembrow hits back at accusations about her marriage to Matt Zukowski following their split
Tammy Hembrow has responded to just one of hundreds of comments about her pending divorce from Matt Zukowski after seven months of marriage. The fitness influencer, 31, who announced her split from the Love Island star in June, hit back at one fan who accused her of 'pretending' the relationship never happened. 'Tammy, your love to Mathew was so loud,' one of Tammy's 17 million Instagram followers commented on a recent video. 'Now you're just pretending nothing happened.' The comment clearly struck a chord with the recently single mother-of-three. 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. 'It was,' Tammy replied defiantly on Thursday. Tammy shut down criticism about how she is moving on, having listed her three Vera Wang wedding dresses for sale on Monday, and sparking rumours of a possible reconciliation with her ex-fiancé Reece Hawkins following a surprising late-night phone call. Tammy's three dresses include a rosy-hued, full-skirted tulle dress, a sleek bustier number and a short corseted dress with a dramatic train, all provided by Vera Wang. '[I'm] not pretending nothing happened,' Tammy told her critic. 'Just trying to move on with my life and focus on myself and my kids.' The social media star shares two children – Wolf, eight, and Saskia, six – with her ex Reece. In several videos posted to her Stories on Thursday, Tammy promoted an upcoming fitness challenge she will be doing. Tammy shut down the critique of how she is moving on, after listing her three Vera Wang wedding dresses for sale on Monday 'I am in the midst of getting in the best shape of my life, mentally, emotionally, and physically,' she announced. 'That's a huge focus of mine right now. I want to get to the best place in life that I possibly can.' It comes after Tammy revealed she 'didn't recognise herself' during her marriage to Matt, 29. The influencer revealed on Sunday that she has toned up her body and lost weight since leaving the marriage. She shared a video on Instagram that featured her look during and after her time with Matt, with Tammy having visibly trimmed down and gained muscle in recent weeks. In her caption, Tammy said she was feeling like herself again amid the painful and very public split. 'Guys I'm starting to feel like myself again. I don't even recognise myself in those first videos, to be honest,' Tammy wrote in her caption. 'You won't always feel motivated, but you will never regret starting and investing in YOU,' she added, while also promoting her fitness app. Tammy and Matt confirmed they had split on social media last month. Matt announced the couple's separation in a sombre Instagram Story, telling fans the decision was not taken lightly. 'It's with a heavy heart I share that Tammy and I have decided to separate,' Matt began. 'Both of us have struggled with making this decision, however we need to do what is right for ourselves and her three children. 'This wasn't a decision we took lightly. Our time together will always be cherished and never forgotten,' he added, before thanking fans for their support and asking for privacy. Despite their short-lived marriage, both parties have asked for privacy as they adjust to life post-break-up. 'We appreciate everyone's support and space at this time as we navigate the split,' Matt concluded in his emotional post. Tammy later addressed the split in an emotional TikTok video where she announced she was filing for divorce. 'I don't want to get into the details and I want to be sensitive to everyone involved,' she told fans. 'Obviously, when you marry someone, you do it thinking that it is going to be forever, and I blame no one but myself,' Tammy continued while breaking down in tears. 'I've made not the best choices when it comes to relationships. I'm good at putting on rose-coloured glasses. 'Obviously, the worst part for me is that I have kids. I don't care about me, I know I will be okay, but I feel awful.' Tammy and Matt They became engaged in December 2023 after dating for just three months.
