Harry Redknapp's wife Sandra 'in hospital' as ITV racing pundit shares health update live on air
Chapman disclosed the information during a segment about King of Bears, the racehorse owned by the former football manager, amid ITV4's coverage from Great Yarmouth Racecourse.
'So, King of Bears, just to say Harry Redknapp will be watching this horse from his hospital bed, but not his bed, his missus Sandra is just being treated in hospital at the moment.' he told viewers.
Chapman addressed the couple directly: 'Sandra, if you're listening in - I think she wanted to watch Emmerdale, but Harry's making her watch this race - I really hope King of Bears runs well.
'He's a character. He could win it, he could finish last, but he gives Jack Doughty a big chance for George Scott.'
Details surrounding Sandra's condition and the reason for her hospitalisation have not yet been disclosed.
However in the end, the King of Bears didn't win the race. Instead the 7/1 shot placed sixth.
Sandra and Harry Redknapp have been married for 57 years, having first met as teenagers.
The couple were just 17 when they started dating, and earlier this month, Harry marked their anniversary with a heartfelt tribute.
He wrote: 'Where does the time go? I would be lost without you Sandra.'
Now both 78, the pair told their love story in their joint memoir When Harry Met Sandra: Our Story, published in 2022.
Their romance began with a date at the Two Puddings pub in East London back in 1963, eventually leading to marriage, two sons, Mark and Jamie, and a growing brood of grandchildren.
Sandra stepped into the spotlight during Harry's winning stint on I'm A Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here, where his obvious devotion to her won over the nation.
Then in 2022, Harry shared his fears after Sandra experienced serious breathing difficulties following a battle with Covid.
Speaking to The Mirror, he said: 'The symptoms weren't good, if I'm truthful. You start to think about all kinds of sinister things.
'It's been a real worry. Sandra has suffered. Her voice had packed up and she was struggling for breath. Even swallowing food became difficult. She could choke on food easily if we weren't careful.'
Sandra said of her health battle at the time: 'You don't realise what your vocal cords do until they're not working, because it affects breathing as well as talking.
'The shortness of breath was very difficult. My voice would vibrate and was very weak.'
The Standard has contacted Harry Redknapp's rep for comment.

Channel 4 Defends Inclusion Of 'Explicit' Scenes In New Bonnie Blue Documentary
Channel 4 is defending the decision to include graphic sexual scenes in a new documentary about the OnlyFans performer Bonnie Blue. The British adult star – whose legal name is Tia Billinger – has generated a lot of conversation and debate in recent years, most notably after setting herself a challenge earlier this year to have sex with more than 1,000 men in the space of a day, which was recorded for her OnlyFans account. On Tuesday, Channel 4 is premiering a new documentary 1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story, with an official synopsis explaining: '[This] documentary goes behind the headlines, clickbait and ragebait to discover what life's really like in Bonnie's wild orbit, how she got here and what's really going on behind those steely blue eyes. 'The film sensitively explores the central question polarising debate about her: Is she a 'dangerous predator', pandering to male fantasies and perpetuating the patriarchy? Or an empowered, sex positive, businesswoman having the last laugh?' After it was reported that the documentary would feature graphic sexual scenes, a spokesperson for Channel 4 has defended their inclusion. 'Careful consideration has been given to the content and the way in which it is included,' they insisted to The Mirror. 'The explicit content in the documentary is editorially justified and provides essential context; making pornographic content is Bonnie's job, and this film is about her work and the response to it.' They added: 'Crucially, the content is presented in a non-gratuitous manner and viewers will be alerted of the sexual content in a programme warning at the start to ensure they understand from the outset the nature of the programme.' Director Victoria Silver previously said: 'Bonnie Blue refuses to conform to public opinion and lives life by her own rules. 'At a time when factual TV is awash with retrospective stories, I wanted to capture the energy of a live and evolving story, with a woman at the heart of it who's living her life in such a bold way.' In the last few months, Bonnie Blue has faced further controversy after recording a podcast with the polarising internet personality Andrew Tate, a key figure in the so-called 'manosphere', who was revealed earlier this year to be facing 10 charges relating to three alleged victims, including rape, actual bodily harm and human trafficking, per BBC News. Tate has denied the charges against him. Last month, it was reported that Bonnie Blue had been banned from OnlyFans after planning a so-called 'petting zoo' event, in which she planned to be tied up while as many as 2,000 men had sex with her, which would have been live-streamed on her page. 'Extreme challenge content is not available on OnlyFans and is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service,' OnlyFans said at the time. 'Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation.' 1,000 Men And Me: The Bonnie Blue Story will air on Tuesday 29 July at 10pm on Channel 4.

Myleene Klass says ex cheated with celebrity at her birthday party
The TV star told Paul C. Brunson's podcast it had been 'difficult' to see her own family fall apart as the unnamed famous person 'built a family brand'. What did you miss? Myleene Klass has opened up on feeling "conflicted" that a celebrity she caught her ex-husband cheating with at her birthday party is known for "building a family brand". The TV presenter and singer spoke to Paul C. Brunson's We Need To Talk podcast about her divorce from Graham Quinn and the devastating cheating that led to their split. Although she didn't name the famous person who she caught Quinn with at her party, Klass revealed that their image was built around strong family values which she said had been "difficult" to accept as her own family fell apart. Klass also spoke about the behind-the-scenes secrets she is not allowed to share from her days in Hear'Say, and claimed she had been targeted by disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein in a terrifying meeting. What, how and why? Loose Women star and former Hear'Say singer Klass was in a relationship with ex Quinn for 12 years, but they split just six months after marrying. Asked by Brunson how she would describe her relationship with the father of her eldest two children, she said: "I will use his words, how he would describe it, because it's fascinating to me. I was told I emasculated him." Klass, who cemented her fame after her Popstars days by finishing as runner-up on I'm A Me Out Of Here! in 2006, confessed that she had considered cancelling her wedding the night before as she felt the relationship wasn't right. She claimed Quinn had not allowed her to invite her best friend as he wanted to keep the day small, and said she had cried all the way through her wedding day. The TV star shared she had had suspicions that Quinn was cheating for a while, but opened up on the devastating moment she discovered him with a famous person at her own birthday party in her house. She said: "They weren't having sex, but they were unzipping each other." Klass said that she found the resulting split especially difficult because she was left as a single parent, whilst the woman she caught Quinn with was known for her "family brand". "I walked in on him with a famous person on my birthday on a balcony," she said. "I've made peace with that situation now, but for a long time, it was very difficult to see their life. Not that I would wish that on a family...I don't know, I feel conflicted. "My life quite literally just broke apart very, very publicly. And their life, they've managed to continue building a family brand on it. It was very difficult." Klass has not named the famous person and they did not get into a relationship with Quinn afterwards.

Klass said of the divorce: "I was just catching up all of the time and every time new information came my way, I just couldn't believe it. One popstar rang me up and she was like, 'I think I've got your money, it's in my safe'." "On the day he decided it was over, he just pushed this little Post-it note across the table with the figure he wanted," she added. Klass said that she had brought up her older two children as a lone parent for 12 years after Quinn left. She now has a third child with partner Simon Motson, and also told Brunson about her recent meeting with the King to talk about her campaigning work around miscarriage which she recently received an MBE for. What Myleene Klass said about Hear'Say secrets Klass first found fame on reality show Popstars, where she and her fellow winners formed the group Hear'Say. They were only together for around 18 months, but Klass described their baptism of fire in the music industry and their shock at stories about their personal lives being leaked to the press. She said that the only time she and her bandmates Kym Marsh, Suzanne Shaw, Danny Foster and Noel Sullivan felt safe was when they were talking to each other in person so that they knew they weren't being listened to. "We could only trust each other," she said, claiming of their treatment by the music industry: "We were not protected, we were almost bait." Having previously spoken about diaries she has from the early days of her pop fame, Klass claimed she had been told they were too libellous to publish because of anecdotes about the behaviour of others in the music industry at the time. "People are very interested in the diaries," she said. "I think there must be some people who are very scared as well. Rightly so." On keeping in touch with her bandmates, she said: "We do go through peaks and troughs and flurries. Some more than others, for sure. It's like an office job from 25 years ago, which is sad really, because we went through so much. When big things happen, we all check in on each other." Klass also claimed that she had been propositioned by disgraced film producer Harvey Weinstein with a "sex contract" during her days working at CNN. She said she had met Weinstein at a party and attended a meeting with him that she believed was about a documentary she wanted to make, but alleged that he told her he would make her a film star if she had sex with him. Speaking about how terrifying the situation had been, Klass said she had managed to get away from the meeting. She reflected on the many women who had since come forward with similar claims about Weinstein, saying: "I believe every woman who came forward because I sat there. I was utterly devastated because I didn't know if I was going to get out." We Need To Talk with Paul C. Brunson is streaming now.

Johnny Depp Has Reportedly Made A Significant Move To Sussex After Living There During Covid Pandemic
Johnny Depp has reportedly moved to a house in the Sussex countryside of the UK. The actor, who was previously living in a Soho townhouse in London, is said to have made the move for reasons of peace, privacy, and security. By relocating, Johnny Depp has followed in the footsteps of his late friend, guitarist Jeff Beck, who owned and lived in a 16th-century house in the location. The Actor Bought A Large House In The Sussex Countryside According to the Daily Mail, Depp recently snapped up a home in the Sussex countryside, near the border with Kent. While specific details about the house remain scarce, it is believed to be significantly larger than the Soho townhouse he previously occupied in London. As for why the "Pirates of the Caribbean" star made the decision, he reportedly did so for reasons of peace, privacy, and security. It is also possible that the move was done in homage to his late friend, guitarist Jeff Beck, who owned a Renaissance-style home in the same area. Depp had lived there with Beck during the COVID-19 pandemic and once described the place as "beautiful and wet," according to a friend. He returned to the property in 2023 following Beck's death from bacterial meningitis. Then, Depp and Beck's widow, Sandra, gave the legendary guitarist a "green burial" on the grounds of the estate. Johnny Depp Feels At Home At The Location As reported by the outlet, friends of the actor claim he feels at home at the location. Part of the appeal may lie in the fact that key members of his inner circle, including Stephen Deuters, CEO of his UK production company, also reside in Sussex. Meanwhile, Depp has already begun settling into local life. He has been spotted at The Middle House pub and hotel in Mayfield, East Sussex, and has even paid a visit to the Folly Wildlife Rescue center, where his late friend Jeff Beck was a known patron. During the visit, Depp was photographed gently cradling an orphaned badger named Freddie Mercury. Further evidence that Depp has taken up residence at the property came last week, when he was reportedly chauffeured from the home to the premiere of his new film, "Modigliani: Three Days on the Wing of Madness." How Johnny Depp Arrived For The Premiere Of His New Movie For the London premiere of the movie, "Modi," which Depp directed, the actor arrived in oversized, all-black tailored pants and jackets. The actor accessorized the outfit with a stylish scarf around his neck and a pair of colored sunglasses that slightly veiled his eyes. Depp also rocked his signature metal jewelry for the outing. In "Modi," Depp is behind the camera, while the titular role is played by Italian actor Riccardo Scamarcio (Amedeo Modigliani). It also featured veteran actor Al Pacino as art collector Maurice Gangnat. Speaking about his second attempt at directing, Depp said in a previous statement that he was "incredibly honored" to have helmed the project. "The saga of Mr. Modigliani's life is one that I'm incredibly honored, and truly humbled, to bring to the screen," Depp said, per People Magazine. "It was a life of great hardship, but eventual triumph — a universally human story all viewers can identify with," he added. The Actor Previously Opened Up About His Childhood Trauma In A Raw Interview Earlier in the month, Depp pulled back the curtain on his traumatic childhood, particularly how he suffered physical abuse at the hands of his late mother, Betty Sue Palmer. "She beat me with a f-ck stick, a f-ck shoe, an ashtray, a phone, it didn't matter, man," he told The Telegraph. "But I thank her for that." "Physical violence, physical abuse. That was a constant," he further recalled. "We were all somewhat shell-shocked. She'd walked past, you'd shield yourself because you didn't know what would happen." Johnny Depp Said The Psychological Abuse 'Was Almost Worse' Than The Beatings He Received While the physical violence Depp endured at the hands of his mother was harrowing, he revealed that it was the emotional turmoil that left the deepest scars. "The verbal abuse, the psychological abuse, was almost worse than the beatings," Depp noted. He continued, "The beatings were just physical pain. The physical pain, you learn to deal with. You learn to accept it. You learn to deal with it."
