Chelcee Grimes shares loved-up snaps with new girlfriend and she looks just like Christine McGuinness

Chelcee Grimes has revealed her stunning new girlfriend, and she looks just like Christine McGuinness, with whom she shared a close friendship.
The former footballer, 33, has shared a series of loved-up snaps to Instagram with her new love interest Rachel Slade.
Chelcee confirmed the pair are official when she shared a clip of Rachel and captioned it 'I have two girlfriends'.
The first video showed Rachel looking glamorous on date nights and in a bikini, referring to her as 'girlfriend one'.
She then added a clip of Rachel in a hoodie with no makeup on and joked that was her 'second girlfriend.'
Rachel bares a similar resemblance to Chelcee's ex model pal and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine, 37.
It comes just weeks after Daily Mail revealed Chelcee had split from her girlfriend after a year-long romance.
Chelcee went public with executive producer Amelia Farhang last July with Chelcee sharing images of the redhead to her Instagram profile, captioning the post: 'Private but not a secret.'
But the couple have gone their separate ways following a year together and Chelcee, who's also written songs for the likes of Dua Lipa , Kesha and Jess Glynne , is now single.
Chelcee's relationship with Amelia was her first public romance after she was pictured passionately kissing TV presenter Christine, with whom she shared a close friendship.
Their closeness followed the end of Christine's 11-year marriage to BBC Radio 2 host Paddy, 55, who's the father to her three children.
Despite their fondness for each other after meeting on ITV 's The Games, Chelcee and Christine are reportedly no longer friends following an 'explosive row' over the nature of their relationship.
A source told Daily Mail: 'Chelcee's romance with Amelia fizzled out and they decided to go their separate ways.
'To friends, it would seem as though they haven't ended on the best terms because they're no longer in contact and have unfollowed each other on Instagram.
Rachel bares a similar resemblance to Chelcee's ex model pal and Real Housewives of Cheshire star Christine, 37
'Amelia has been sharing cryptic Instagram posts on her latest holiday which would suggest their relationship didn't end well.'
In July last year, Chelcee shared photos of herself spending time with girlfriend Amelia, as the two had a roast dinner together, kissed in a supermarket and wore friendship bracelets.
Later in the month, Chelcee shared another image of Amelia applying her lip liner over lunch and in November they enjoyed a trip to New York together.
Their interactions over Instagram were constant, with Amelia calling Chelcee a 'beautiful girl' and supporting her work projects with love heart emojis.
In May, as Chelcee celebrated her birthday, Amelia commented her love for the star yet now, the pair no longer follows each other on Instagram.
Daily Mail has approached Chelcee and Amelia for comment.
Chelcee, who has also previously romanced former Love Island star Megan Barton Hanson, grew close to Christine following the TV star's split from husband Paddy.
The pair met on ITV show The Games in 2022 and grew close the following year, which saw them kiss while on holiday in Ibiza.
Christine, whose three children are all autistic, also attended Winter Wonderland with Chelcee and they were seen kissing in a picture shared to Snapchat.
Chelcee and Christine have enjoyed several holidays together in recent years, having jetted off to the likes of Santorini, Croatia and Greece on girls' trips with friends.
Sources close to the pair said Chelcee was there for Christine following her divorce to Paddy, which the glamour model described as one of the worst times in her life.
Their close friendship reportedly ended, with the pair unfollowing each other on Instagram, and Christine recently went onto appear on the upcoming series of Celebs Go Dating, which she filmed for two weeks before quitting.

Love Island fans blast ‘awkward' change to series finale as they blame ITV cuts

LOVE Island viewers have blasted an "awkward" change to the show's format as the Islanders enjoyed their final evening in the villa. This year, after enjoying their final dinner together, the Islanders all remained seated as they delivered passionate speeches to one another about their time in the show and their romances with one another. 2 2 In an unusual move, the finalists did not stand up in front of one another to deliver their messages - which are akin to wedding vows. It left fans insisting the whole segment was "awkward" especially given that the major final dates were axed for this year's series. It has even seen some fans blame ITV budget cuts for the lack of dates and the "awkward" final scenes. Writing online, one Love Island viewer penned: "Love Island clearly spent their budget on blu's flights because why are there no real final dates and WHY are the final speeches so awkward???" Another added: "This is so f***ing awkward at least get them to stand up." Before a third echoed: "How awkward must it feel to sit and speak to you partner whilst everyone is looking at you in silence, I couldn't be on this show." This year's final four saw Angel and Ty, Shakira and Harry, Toni and Cach and Yasmin and Jamie vying to be crowned the winners as well as taking home the £50,000 prize. Later in the episode, the show was rocked by a double cheating shock. Tommy Bradley confessed to snogging the same girl as Ben Holborough behind Lucy Quinn's back. Tommy had been romancing Lucy after they left the villa but despite enjoying a few dates, it all crumbled when he enjoyed a smooch with another woman on a night out. Speaking to host Maya Jama on Love Island, hunky Tommy confessed his budding romance was over after his actions. Admitting he acted "disrespectfully", he told Maya how he "messed up" for going behind Lucy's back for the secret snog. But in another shock, it was later revealed that Tommy had kissed the same girl that Ben had also cheated on partner Andrada with. The Sun told how Ben had been pictured all over The Only Way Is Essex star Dani Imbert at a glitzy showbiz event with the pair reportedly going on to enjoy a series of snogs together. It is likely to spark speculation that Dani is also the woman in question in the middle of Tommy and Lucy's romance.

Love Island Final: Harry and Shakira and Toni and Cach are this year's final two couples - as third and fourth place are revealed

Harry and Shakira and Toni and Cach are this year's final two couples as the Love Island kicked off on Monday evening. Angel and Ty have come fourth after receiving the fewest public votes, with Yasmin and Jamie finishing in third. Both couples have left the villa exclusive after a smooth sailing final few days in the villa. Angel was the final bombshell in this year's series, only entering the villa two weeks ago where she immediately hit it off with Casa Amor boy Ty. The pair have gone from strength to strength despite Blu's attempt to turn her head earlier this week. Earlier in the day a shock couple emerged as the favourites to win just hour ahead of the live final. Bookies odds have revealed that Harry and Shakira are tipped to win the ITV2 dating show despite the pair having had a turbulent time in the villa. According to Ladbrokes, the couple, who have only been together a week, are tipped to win by a massive 10/11. This latest twist has seen the new favourites' odds tumble from 6/1 over the weekend. It was with Yasmin and Jamie, but they have gone out to 7/2 from 11/8 as the frontrunners. Longtime favourites Toni and Cach are still 7/4 from 6/4, while Angel and Ty prop up the betting at 18/1. It comes after Meg and Dejon became the latest couple to be dumped from the Love Island villa after the ex-Islanders had their say. And during AfterSun on Sunday evening, Dejon admitted he has been 'reflecting on his actions' since leaving the villa. The hunk came under fire for his behaviour towards Meg, after keeping her around but continuously flirting with every bombshell that entered the villa. While they are now officially boyfriend and girlfriend, they had a tumultuous time on the series - which this year has even been acknowledged in a Women's Aid statement. The charity accused some men on the show of 'showcasing toxic male behaviour' as well as 'gaslighting' and 'manipulating'. Speaking on Love Island Aftersun, Dejon, 26, told Maya Jama: 'It was interesting the way that we got dumped, because I feel like the decisions were definitely… you kind of heard from both people's point of view. 'Some people saw bad things and some people saw good things. So it definitely made me in this time of being like reflect on my actions over the villa. 'Coming in, I just thought, I'm on Love Island. I'm gonna explore connections, I'm gonna be flirty, I'm gonna see what my strongest connection was. 'But in the back of my head, I always knew it was Meg, so I definitely see why that kind of… there's a lot of opinions about that, and I feel like I could have explored connections with being less flirty and stuff.' The professional footballer added: 'I definitely understand why people have their opinions regarding that, and even there's times that, honestly, she's stuck by me, and she tells me how she feels, and she stuck by me more than more than she should. More than I deserve a lot of times.'

Repair Shop host Jay Blades charged with two counts of rape and faces court next week a year after quitting hit BBC show

REPAIR Shop star Jay Blades has been charged with two counts of rape. Police confirmed the allegations against the 55-year-old dad of three from Shropshire. 4 4 Blades fronted the hit BBC show for seven years before stepping back last year. King Charles appeared alongside him on a special episode in 2022. West Mercia Police confirmed charges against the dad of three, with a magistrates' court date set for next Wednesday. A spokesperson said: 'Jason Blades, 55, of Claverley in Shropshire, has been charged with two counts of rape. "He is due to appear at Telford magistrates' court on 13 August 2025.' Blades was awarded an MBE in 2022 for services to craft while King Charles appeared on the Repair Shop the same year. The TV star is currently awaiting trial on a separate charge of controlling and coercive behaviour against estranged wife Lisa-Marie Zbozen, which he has denied. Blades was arrested in May 2024 - on the same day fitness instructor Lisa announced her decision to end their 18-month marriage. In September Blades was charged. His actions allegedly caused Lisa 'to fear, on at least two occasions, that violence will be used against her'. The presenter pleaded not guilty to the charge — which relates to the ­period between January 1, 2023 and September 12, 2024 — at a court hearing last October. He is due to attend Worcester crown court today for a pre-trial review regarding the charge. Blades, who married Lisa in an intimate ceremony in Barbados in November 2022, took a break from filming following his arrest. Sources said the decision was also linked to the death of his uncle Richard Braithwaite, 72, in North London in March. A neighbour has been charged with murder. Blades was also dropped from The Repair Shop's live show, Secrets From The Barn, and quietly removed from promotional material. His Repair Shop co-star, horologist Steve Fletcher, revealed in March he had visited Blades while on a break from the live tour. Steve shared a photograph of himself with Blades on Instagram with the caption: 'In a break from our 'Secrets From the Barn' Tour, I popped in to see Jay the other day for a cup of tea and a lovely chat. 'It was great to catch up. Hope to see him again soon.' The BBC later replaced Blades with Roman Kemp for the Christmas special of the popular series. Blades also resigned as chancellor of Buckinghamshire New University 'with immediate effect' following the initial charge. It said: 'We thank Jay for his loyal service to the university and will be making no further comment.' As well as fronting The Repair Shop since 2017, Blades also hosted BBC shows including Money For Nothing and Jay Blades' Home Fix. He also appeared as a contestant on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special and fronted a special BBC documentary, Jay Blades: Learning to Read at 51. 4 4
