Sunday Brunch fans all say the same thing about Tim Lovejoy's replacement

Daily Mirror22-06-2025
Tim Lovejoy is taking a break from his role on Sunday Brunch after 13 years on the show and has been replaced by a reality star
Sunday Brunch fans have praised Tim Lovejoy's replacement and loved the "feminine energy" they have brought. Tim is taking a "well earned break" from his role on the show after 13 years of hosting.
Former Geordie Shore star Vicky Pattison is replacing Tim and has already got off to a good start. She looked stunning as she fronted the programme with Simon Rimmer as she wore a yellow button up dress and wore her hair in a slicked pack pony.

Vicky danced during the intro of Sunday Brunch and said she was "buzzing like an old fridge" to be on the show. Announcing her new job, Vicky took to her Instagram page a few days ago to share a message with her followers.

She wrote: "I HAVE SOME EXCITING NEWS!!!! As a long time friend of @sundaybrunchc4 it is an absolute HONOUR to be wearing a slightly different hat this week! I will be joining my good pal @rimmersimon as his cohost while the lovely @timlovejoy_official has a very well deserved break!!!
"I am buzzing like an old fridge to chat to all of our gorgeous guests, eat some delicious food and hopefully give anyone watching and nursing a hangover a bit of light comedy reprieve. See you bright and early Sunday my loves… and wish me luck."
Friends and fans of the star took to the comments to share their wishes to the star. One wrote: "Absolutely brilliant Vicky well done!!!!"
As a second said: "Omg I'm SO excited for this girl amazing news," as another added: "Congratulations! You're gonna have a right laugh with our Rimmer!"
Once she'd done her first appearance stepping into the role, fans praised the new "feminine energy". One person wrote on X: "Joke about Vicki all you want, but its good to have some feminine energy co-presenting and female POV on the sofa while chatting with the guests."

"It's great to see @VickyPattison hosting the show today, she's amazing, hopefully she'll be on again," another said. However, there were some viewers that weren't too happy with the replacement as some asked if she was "drunk" and said that they couldn't understand her Geordie accent.
Vicky has been open recently about her PMDD diagnosis. PMDD is a more intense form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS), which describes various distressing symptoms occurring in the week or two before a period.
Vicky's symptoms included 'crippling anxiety,' insomnia, and troubling thoughts, as she conveyed feelings of worthlessness and believed that the world 'would be a better place' without her.
While the cause of PMDD is largely unknown, some suggest it may be related to hormonal differences or even past physical or mental trauma. Despite the crippling nature of this syndrome, PMDD is often considered an understudied health condition.

Sign up for the Entertainment newsletter Sign up 5 Stacey Solomon has marked a huge six-figure achievement as she adds to her incredible £7million fortune Credit: Instagram 5 The mum of five boosts her earnings through a variety of sources Credit: Instagram 5 Yet it is haircare brand REHAB that has accelerated her fortune over the past two years Credit: Instagram All-woman founded haircare brand REHAB captured Stacey's attention years ago - but she told how she had taken the surprise decision to become part of the team. The Sort Your Life Out anchor, 35, invested her own cash into small haircare brand REHAB, owning a third of the firm in doing so. Now sources have told MailOnline the all-female business has reached a six figure milestone which has seen them "making millions" in the sector. Stacey, along with business partners Anastasia and Vicky, is also seeing their popularity "expanding." REHAB has also been hailed the fastest-growing beauty brand on the FEBE 100 list for 2025, in yet another boost for the trio. The collection has now expanded into bodycare products as well as haircare as it expands its offering further. Its Instagram page now reads: "It's time to REHAB. Your hair and body." BUSINESS BABE Stacey first revealed her latest career project in a lengthy message on social media. At the time, she gushed to fans: "I can't put into words how incredible it feels to say that I am going to start a whole new chapter in my life championing incredible women in business. "I see so many talented people day in day out working so hard to achieve their dreams and it's not easy out there. Stacey Solomon hits back at cruel troll who branded her a 'horse mouth' "I can't wait to give my absolute all to Rehab and take it to the places it deserves to be." REHAB was founded by two female best friends who say they were "trying to keep up with multiple jobs, children, and their London based social lives". Describing themselves on REHAB's website, they said: "Busy women with a single mission - transform tired hair to its full healthy, glossy potential." Stacey presents BBC's Sort Your Life Out as well as being a panellist on Loose Women. Stacey Solomon's career so far Stacey Solomon has been a familiar face on viewers' screens for over a decade. Let's take a look back at her career. The X Factor (2009): Stacey competed in series six of long-running ITV singing competition The X Factor. During her time in the show, she was mentored by Danni Minogue in the 'Girls' category. The star finished in third place, behind Joe McElderry and Olly Murs. I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here (2010); In late 2010, Stacey headed to the infamous I'm A Celeb Aussie jungle. After 21 days, she triumphed to win the tenth series. It was through I'm A Celeb that she met future husband Joe Swash - who'd won two years earlier and was hosting the ITV2 spinoff. Celebrity Juice (2011―2013, 2016―2019): The star appeared as a panellist on 21 episodes of the comedy panel game show hosted by Keith Lemon. Stacey was a regular in the 21st series, broadcast in 2019. Loose Women (2016 - present): Stacey has been a permanent panel member of the daytime show since 2016. She previously made guest appearances in 2011 and 2012. Sort Your Life Out (2022 -present): This BBC show sees Stacey, with the help of an expert team, transform participants' living spaces after removing clutter. CASHING IN Back in April, The Sun exclusively revealed the X Factor alum was raking in £57K a month. Her performing arts firm, Key Maps Entertainments, which funnels all of her earnings, has filed new accounts which lay bare just how rich Stacey really is. The figures mean that Stacey is taking home a tidy £8,270 a DAY. Stacey first set up the firm in 2012 in order to disclose all her financial earnings. In 2014, it was reported that she had banked a more modest £100,000 over the previous two years. The ITV and BBC darling managed to achieve the major figure largely thanks to her TV endeavours including her NTA-winning show Sort Your Life Out as well as her brand new reality show with her husband Joe Swash. But being on the small screen isn't the only way she's has topped up her bank balance. Stacey has helped to improve her massive fortune thanks to countless brand and endorsement deals. She has worked alongside Asda, Jet2, In The Style and Primark in order to keep her earnings rising year on year. 5 She also fronts award-winning TV show Sort Your Life Out Credit: BBC

Love the bones of you." What are the signs of breast cancer? BREAST cancer is the most common type of cancer in the UK. The majority of women who get it are over 50, but younger women and, in rare cases, men can also get breast cancer. If it's treated early enough, breast cancer can be prevented from spreading to other parts of the body. Breast cancer can have a number of symptoms, but the first noticeable symptom is usually a lump or area of thickened breast tissue. Most breast lumps aren't cancerous, but it's always best to have them checked by your doctor. You should also speak to your GP if you notice any of the following: a change in the size or shape of one or both breasts discharge from either of your nipples (which may be streaked with blood) a lump or swelling in either of your armpits dimpling on the skin of your breasts a rash on or around your nipple a change in the appearance of your nipple, such as becoming sunken into your breast Source: NHS Honey Mitchell actress Emma Barton wrote: "Love you so much, you beautiful, strong, mental, brave lady… You're frigging Ace!!!" Soap fans know her as Walford's Eve, but Heather also has another job away from our TV screens. The star is also a singer and has released five albums. Heather regularly performs up and down the country and treats her Instagram followers to snippets of her gigs. The talented artist can play guitar and piano and performs with a band at live concerts. Heather got her first taste of music success in 2000 when her London's Burning character sang Bette Midler song The Rose, which was released and reached no. 58 in the UK charts. She has since released five albums, the last of which was 2018's Hey Mayhem. The Bradford born star, who also played Nikki Boston in Waterloo Road, joined EastEnders as Eve in October 2021. Stacey Slater's former cellmate and wife has been a regular in the soap ever since, most recently marrying second wife Suki Panesar.
