Cara Delevigne leads the star-studded guestlist for Mel B's lavish wedding
Cara Delevigne was one of many high profile celebrities who attended the highly anticipated wedding between Spice Girl Mel B and Rory McPhee held at St Paul's Cathedral Cara Delevigne cut an elegant and stylish appearance as she made her way into the iconic St Paul's Cathedral to celebrate the wedding of Melanie Brown and Rory McPhee. The 32 year old supermodel donned a tailored black suit teamed with a crisp white shirt, while her hair was tied up in black lace which was complimented by a hat. The model, who has walked the runway for a number of high profile fashion houses, finished off her look with a large pair of dark sunglasses. Cara was one of many A-list guests including Daisy Lowe, comedian Katherine Ryan, Emma Bunton and the man that created the Spice Girls turning them a global sensation, Simon Fuller. Despite the absence of Geri Horner, Victoria Beckham and Melanie Chisholm, Emma Bunton flew the Spice Girls flag as she attend the ceremony with her husband Jade and their son. It has been reported that Victoria Beckham was unable to attend as she was out of the country. But she paid tribute to Mel B on Instagram after posting a picture of the pair of them looking glam. Other guests included presenters Angelica Bell, Gabby Roslin, comedian Alan Carr and her sister Danielle. Mel looked sensational in her pearl embellished white gown that showed off her amazing curves. Arriving in a white Bentley, Mel looked radiant as she tweaked her veil as she made her way into the Cathedral. Ahead of her nuptials, Mel revealed to WWD magazine details of her dress and the designers. She told the publication earlier this year: "I found an amazing bridal boutique called Evelie in London and in one incredible afternoon, I found two perfect dresses." She added: "One beautiful classic dress by Josephine Scott, a British designer and one stunning dramatic dress by a U.S. designer, Justin Alexander." The Spice Girl continued to tell the publication: "I've since had fittings in London and New York, so it's a perfect blend of my love for Britain and America." She said at the time: "This will be a very formal, English wedding where I want to feel regal and very proper. " She added: "All the ladies will wear hats or fascinators. Then, I'm having a second ceremony abroad, which will be more informal, sexy, and beautiful."

BBC Casualty taken off air tonight as changes made to TV schedule
Casualty has been pulled from air on Saturday, July 5 so viewers won't get their usual medical drama fix BBC drama Casualty, the Saturday night staple, is set for a break this weekend as sports take over the television schedule. The beloved medical series is set to be side-lined on Saturday, July 5, with sporting events claiming the spotlight. Wimbledon 2025 will be occupying BBC One's sought-after 7.15pm to 10pm slot, forcing the regular programming, including Casualty, off air. However, fans need not feel too dismayed, as Casualty is set to make its return on Saturday, July 12 at 8.50pm, and in the meantime, episodes are available on BBC iPlayer. This announcement comes hot on the heels of dramatic scenes that saw Stevie Nash (portrayed by Elinor Lawless) resuming her duties after cancer treatment in one of the recent instalments, reports Wales Online. While doctors recommended more recuperation time, Stevie was adamant about diving straight back into work, only to be overwhelmed when a spate of overdose cases hit the ED. New face Flynn Byron (played by Olly Rix), despite promising to support Stevie throughout their shift, found himself whisked away to tackle other crises. Audiences were quick to voice concerns about Stevie's hasty return, expressing doubts over whether it was truly the right move for her. One viewer remarked: "Sorry, Stevie. I don't think you're ready at all #Casualty", whilst another chimed in with: "Stevie being thrown into the deep end on Day 1 #Casualty." Someone else penned: "Poor Stevie rushed off her feet on Day 1" While another viewer expressed: "Stevie you shouldn't be back so soon – actually I'm glad you are but please look after yourself." Echoing that sentiment, another remarked: "Stevie really hasn't been supported back to work at all #casualty" Meanwhile, a concerned fan noted: "Poor Stevie. Much too soon to come back to work." One viewer lamented: "My heart breaks for Stevie #casualty" As the tension escalated, someone else observed: "Tonight's episode is stressful." BBC's schedule has seen other major changes this week with Wimbledon and Women's Euro 2025 taking over many of the prime slots as they kick off. The One Show has also hit pause on its regular weeknight appearance on BBC One at 7pm – Alex Jones confirmed during the last airing on June 27 by telling the audience: "We are taking a bit of a break for the next four weeks and we'll be back on Monday, 28th July – but there's plenty to enjoy like Wimbledon and the Euros." Additionally, EastEnders found a temporary new home on BBC Two with consecutive episodes aired last Monday and Tuesday at both 7pm and 7.30pm. Daytime television has had a shuffle too, with Escape To The Country bidding farewell to its customary 3pm weekday slot on BBC One to make room for tennis coverage.
