Sophie Habboo 'mortified' after making King Charles mistake at Buckingham Palace
Former Made in Chelsea star Sophie Habboo has shared an "embarrassing" moment with King Charles that left her "mortified."
During last month's annual King's Trust Awards at Buckingham Palace on June 26, Sophie and her husband, Jamie Laing, were among the star-studded line-up of attendees at the event.
The ceremony boasted a guest list including acting legend George Clooney and his wife Amal, Dame Joanna Lumley, Joseph Fiennes, and the ever-popular I'm A Celeb co-host Dec Donnelly—all there to pay tribute to this year's award winners.
But for Sophie, the event turned into an occasion she'd rather forget, as she confessed she was left "embarrassed" by a mistake at the Palace.

With the celebrities divided into smaller groups, Sophie found herself alongside Jamie, Good Morning Britain presenter Kate Garraway, and one of the award recipients.
Yet, despite being told only to shake the King's hand after he offered it, Jamie disclosed on their Nearly Parents podcast that Sophie seemed to have missed the memo. He amusingly recalled: "He kept looking towards Sophie. And as soon as he went towards Sophie, Sophie put her hand up—five times."
Jamie went on to describe how his wife gradually became tired of repeatedly offering her hand to the King.
Finally, he said: "And then what happened was, the last time he turned towards Sophie, she put out her hand—she didn't withdraw it. She just held it there. She just held it there and didn't move it."

Sophie confessed that, despite feeling "mortified" by the incident, when she eventually met the King, he graciously enquired about Jamie's recent sporting achievement, asking if he had recovered from his demanding ultramarathon.
The King was alluding to Jamie's extreme Ultra Marathon Man effort for Comic Relief, which saw him run from London to Salford, completing an ultramarathon each day for five consecutive days.

Jamie and Sophie, who continue to share updates on their Nearly Parents podcast, first met in 2017 while appearing on Channel 4's Made in Chelsea.
Having tied the knot in 2023, the two former Made in Chelsea stars recently announced they are expecting their first child.

Major update in Diddy sentencing just days after rapper found guilty of prostitution but cleared of more serious charges
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SENTENCING date for Sean "Diddy" Combs has been set after the music mogul was convicted of two prostitution-related charges at his high-profile trial. Combs, who was acquitted of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, will be sentenced on October 3. 3 A courtroom sketch, showed Sean Combs' reaction after he was acquitted of sex trafficking and racketeering charges Credit: AP 3 Sean Combs' mother, Janice (C), and his several of his children and family member depart the US District Courthouse after the verdicts were read on July 2 Credit: AFP or licensors 3 Combs attends Day 1 of 2023 Invest Fest at Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta in August 2023 Credit: Getty Combs faces a maximum 20-year prison sentence - 10 years for each count of transportation to engage in prostitution. However, federal prosecutors have said they would seek a 5 to 3 year sentence. The time Combs has already served in jail, which will be over a year since his arrest in September 2024, would be credited to the ultimate sentence the judge imposes. Combs' defense team initially sought to expedite Combs' sentencing after Judge Arun Subramanian, who presided over the seven-week trial, denied to release the Bad Boy Records founder, 55, on bail. Read more in The U.S. Sun ALL SMILES Diddy's 'phantom fixer' breaks cover just hours after his racketeering acquittal In a letter to Judge Subramanian, Marc Agnifilo, Combs' lead attorney, requested a September 22 sentencing date before eventually agreeing to October 3 - the date the judge initially set for sentencing. It's unclear why the defense abandoned its efforts to expedite Combs' sentencing. Combs will remain housed in the notorious Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn while he awaits sentencing. SHOCKING VERDICT A jury acquitted Combs of the most serious charges he faced - racketeering conspiracy and two counts of sex trafficking in regards to Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura and "Jane," a pseudonym used for one of Combs' ex-girlfriends. The music executive fell to his knees in prayer after the jury foreperson read the stunning verdict to the courtroom on July 2. In their blistering closing arguments, prosecutors described Combs as the "leader of a criminal enterprise" who used his expansive "wealth, power, violence, and fear to get what he wanted." Diddy trial witness 'The Punisher' reveals battle against 'storm of negativity' after taking part in freak-offs "He thought that his fame, wealth and power put him above the law," Assistant US Attorney Christy Slavik said, adding, "It was his kingdom. Everyone was there to serve him." The core evidence of the prosecution's case was the disturbing and graphic nature of the drug-fueled "freak-offs" that at times Combs allegedly coerced his ex-girlfriends to participate in with male escorts. Slavik described to jurors how Combs forced his former lovers Ventura and "Jane" into participating in the punishing sex marathons and with the help of an inner circle of "loyal lieutenants" covered up the alleged crimes. Ventura and Jane were sometimes required to perform the lewd acts, which were also called "hotel nights and wild king nights," while they were hurting from urinary tract infections (UTIs), according to prosecutors. On the other hand, Combs' defense team slammed the prosecution's case as an attack on "your bedroom" and one's sex life. Agnifilo, Combs' lead attorney, summarized the seven-week trial as a "tale of two trials," arguing one side is the one told by the evidence of the case, by witnesses, videos, and text messages, and the other was a "badly, badly, exaggerated" story told by prosecutors. The defense attorney argued the sexual encounters involving Combs, Ventura, "Jane," and male escorts were consensual, and called the "freak-offs," which were sometimes video recorded, "homemade porn." "You want to call it swingers, you want to call it threesomes, whatever you want to call it, that is what it is - that's what the evidence shows," Agnifilo told the jury. "He did what he did. But he's going to fight to the death to defend himself from what he didn't do.' More to follow...

Fan-favourite Good Morning Britain host swerves the axe in ITV's cost-cutting bloodbath
He's been a stalwart of ITV's breakfast offering since the noughties RISE AND SHINE Fan-favourite Good Morning Britain host swerves the axe in ITV's cost-cutting bloodbath Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A FAN-FAVOURITE Good Morning Britain host has swerved the axe in ITV's cost-cutting bloodbath. The commercial network has announced that it will make savage cuts to its daytime schedule from January. 5 Good Morning Britain's production will merge with ITV News from January Credit: RAY BURMISTON 5 Showbiz guru Richard Arnold has been told that his job is safe Credit: Rex 5 A source revealed that his slots are popular with viewers Credit: Rex However, we can now reveal that Good Morning Britain's showbiz guru Richard Arnold will keep his job amid ITV's sweeping changes. It comes as some 220 workers on the flagship breakfast show, Lorraine, Loose Women and This Morning face redundancies as the channel streamlines operations. Richard, 55, who has fronted GMB's showbiz offering since it launched in 2014, has been told he will remain. His team - known within the company as 'RAP' for Richard Arnold production - are also all safe. A source said: "Richard is one of ITV daytime's best-loved faces never mind on GMB. "Viewers enjoy his slots and he remains very much part of the furniture." The changes are part of ITV's efforts to save money and reinvest in other programming areas. As part of the restructure, Lorraine will be reduced to a 30-minute show whilst Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes. Lorraine and Loose Women will air for only 30 weeks a year and GMB will be extended by another half an hour in the weeks where Lorraine is off. As part of the changes, ITV announced that the production of the flagship breakfast show will be transferred to ITV News within the ITN base at London's Gray's Inn Road. Good Morning Britain star reveals they were approached for CBB - and why he turned it down It has been reported that more than a dozen roles are expected to be cut due to 'certain back office roles' that are duplicated within the teams of GMB and ITV News. The cuts are expected to save ITV up to £50 million. Laura Wilshaw, editor of ITV News reportedly sent an email to staff where she revealed that the show would be produced on a "reduced overall budget." However, she apparently stated that the intention was to continue to "faithfully recreate the Good Morning Britain programme viewers love as much as we can". ITV's daytime TV schedule changes in full Good Morning Britain will be extended by 30 minutes to run from 6am to 9.30am daily. Lorraine will run from 9.30am-10am, on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. During the weeks Lorraine is not on air, Good Morning Britain will run from 6am to 10am. This Morning will remain in its 10am-12.30pm slot on weekdays throughout the year. Loose Women will be in the 12.30-1.30pm slot, again on a seasonal basis for 30 weeks of the year. The changes will take effect from January 2026. This comes as it was revealed that current Deputy Editor Daniel Robinson will step up to be the new programme editor. Long-serving Editor Neil Thompson will take up a new high-profile role as Commissioning Editor of Breakfast News. 5 His team, known within ITV as RAP - Richard Arnold's Producers - are also safe from the cuts Credit: Rex
