Brian McFadden's daughters beam with pride as he marries for third time
Former Westlife singer Brian McFadden, who shares two daughter with Kerry Katona, and his long-term partner Danielle Parkinson recently tied the knot at a beachside ceremony Brian McFadden's daughters beamed with pride as they attended their dad's wedding to long-term partner Danielle Parkinson. The former Westlife musician and his new wife tied the knot at a gorgeous beachside ceremony this week, with their closest friends and family attending the intimate event. The newly weds were seen grinning from ear to ear as they posed in beautiful matching white outfits. They said 'I do' in a stunning beach ceremony that was also attended by Brian's two daughters, Molly and Lily McFadden, from his previous marriage to former Atomic Kitten star Kerry Katona. Brian and Kerry's daughter shared a quick glimpse of the wedding as they posed for the camera. Molly, 23, and Lily, 21, wore simple yet elegant makeup for the special occasion. They waved as Lily said "hi" to the camera lens as they enjoyed the event, which saw Brian and Danielle exchange vows in front of their nearest and dearest. Brian shared a clip from the wedding on his Instagram page as well as snaps of the happy couple dressed in all-white and cream as they smooched and raised a glass to the camera. One fan commented on Brian's post: 'So happy for you both – here's to laughter, love, and a forever kind of harmony', while another added: 'Awh congratulations to you both absolutely beautiful wishing you many happy years together'. A third penned: 'Congratulations to you both, you all look wonderful. Hope your day was perfect', while a fourth said: 'Huge congratulations to you both. wishing you both all the love & happiness possible'. The former singer star met Danielle Parkinson back in 2016 and popped the important question three years later in 2019. The couple reportedly wanted to get married sooner but had to postpone their wedding due to the pandemic. Danielle and Brian also went through two miscarriages before they welcomed their daughter in 2021. Kerry and Brian split up a long time ago but Kerry gets 'on well' with Danielle. In a recent interview, she said: "I get on really well with his fiancée. I think I might have a girl crush on her. I always go off of what my girls say for a stepmum, and she's the best stepmum." She continued: "On Mother's Day, I sent her a message. I went, Happy Mother's Day, Danielle. I think she's lovely and they've got a beautiful little girl, Ruby. I wish them nothing but joy and happiness."

While the site did not reveal the exact numbers, it was confirmed that a Brit superstar had been lucky enough to bag the top position. Whilst crooner The Weeknd and hip-hop hunk Drake found themselves in second and third position, they were unable to know the British chart-topper from the global number one spot.

The track went to number one across the globe and will come as no surprise to music fanatics that it is the most played track ever on the streaming service. Blinding Lights by The Weeknd fell into second place whilst Drake's track, God's Plan, rounded out the top three. Hip-hop music largely dominated the top ten with Post Malone bagging the fourth and fifth spots. His Swae Lee collaboration, Sunflower, was the fourth most streamed track, whilst his hit, Rockstar, came in fifth. Ed Sheeran teams up with school pals AND 00s rock legend for epic performance Drake made his second appearance at number six with One Dance followed by fellow rapper, Travis Scott, in seventh with his monster hit, Sicko Mode. Brit star Ed was back in the top ten with his ballad, Perfect, at number eight, followed by R&B legend Chris Brown's duet with Drake, No Guidance, at position nine. Billie Eilish closed out the top ten with her track - Bad Guy. This meant that Billie was the only woman to place in the top 10 of the list.

Holiday home horror as riot police called to 'gender reveal' party
More than 200 drunken revellers piled into a plush 10-bed £635,000 home after a booking was made for just eight people. The owner of a holiday rental has told of his horror after a booking for a 'gender reveal' turned into a huge house party that had to be stopped by riot police. More than 200 drunken revellers piled into a plush 10-bed £635,000 home after a booking was made for just eight people who booked via Instagram saying it was for a gender reveal. As the Mirror reports, Matt Genesis, 33, said he was duped by the partygoers who turned his holiday let into a 'Project X' style disaster with hundreds of party-goers flooding to the venue causing chaos. Matt was left counting the cost with £2,000 worth of damage caused. Matt told how he was first alerted b y noise complaints and neighbours on June 25. He tried to long-in into the property's external security cameras only to discover they had been disconnected at the £450 a night rental. He was left stunned when he found that minibus loads of revellers had turned up at the quiet cul-de-sac in the village of Norden, Greater Manchester and others were parking over his neighbours driveways. Riot cops had to be called to the scene to disperse some of the party-goers some of whom had travelled as far as London to attend the illegal bash. Matt is a director of Fairway Building & Remedial Contractors, the company which owns the property. Shortly after arriving to the home at 9.30pm, he was shocked to find 150 people filing the streets and trying to get in to the 10-person home. Matt said: 'Whilst we were there, minibus after minibus was turning up – I'd say one every 15 minutes, a minibus full of six to eight people walking in. It was out of control – police turned up. We called them, obviously neighbours had called them. It was out of our control. 'Even the guy who booked it, it was out of his control on his behalf – he said he didn't expect anywhere near the amount of people, but it's been passed around group and groups.' Matt said the operation had been 'calculated' – with guests disabling the home's security systems. Matt said: 'Usually if guests are checking in we have cameras on the property, but as soon as they entered they turned the Wi-Fi off. 'That disabled the cameras, so we weren't able to deal with it any sooner than they could. It was very much 'Project X'.' The embarrassed Airbnb owners were forced to say sorry to neighbours and cancel their next booking as they worked to replace broken furniture and deep clean the damaged house, suffering a total £2,000 in losses. The property, which previously underwent a £200,000 renovation and includes a hot tub and pool tables, took three staff 12 hours to clean following the party.

The only money the owners received in return is the £450 per night charge, plus a £250 damage deposit - leaving them well out of pocket. The property is regularly rented out via Airbnb but on this occasion was booked via Instagram. Matt said: 'It was so structured, before we emptied the house out the people who were there said 'where do we go?' Guests had travelled from as far as London for it, so it was very, very calculated. It hit us – we seem like the bad guys, but at the same time it did ultimately hit us as well in the pocket.' Those living nearby were left miffed by the chaos. James Gartside, 80, and Jane Gartside, 84, have lived next door to the home for over 50 years, and remembered when it was previously owned by an older couple who had passed away. They first realised something was brewing after they were asked to allow a party-goer to park in their driveway. Jane said: 'I think I knew it was going to be quite busy, you just got that feeling quite quickly. 'Nine o'clock one of the owners arrived and said 'I'm sorry, this is what's happening' and said the police had been sent for. They got everybody out.' She added: 'It was just that night was out of control, when the police came. 'They calmed it all down – there was no fighting or anything like that. We had a meeting, we went around, they invited us all around and everybody felt very upset. They were very apologetic.' Mike Law, who lives on the other side of the property, said: 'They did very well to disperse them, in my opinion. In a way it was a problem at the time, but it's not lasted. There were certainly more than 200 people, I would say, it was a nuisance – but we can be a nuisance to our next door neighbours. 'Nuisance, OK, yeah, danger and that sort of thing didn't come in to it, in my opinion. I didn't know how they were going to fit in there. Before the big masses came I did offer our drive to park on, but I think the owners learnt a lesson on it and will obviously improve it.' Airbnb said it had looked in to the situation and found the booking had been made through a third party, with no reservations made for the property on its platform. Project X is a 2012 teen movie based on real life events when a house party attracts hundreds of unexpected revellers after details are posted on social media.
