X Factor icon looks completely different two decades on from hit reality show
X Factor icon Rowetta looks unrecognisable 19 years on as she stuns in a tartan miniskirt and thigh-high boots, proving her bold style is still going strong at 57 X Factor fans might do a double-take after seeing one of the show's original stars looking completely different nearly two decades after finding fame. Rowetta Satchell, or simply Rowetta, as she was known to millions, was one of the standout acts on the very first series of The X Factor back in 2004. The powerhouse soul singer wowed judges with her unforgettable take on Lady Marmalade, and her bold vocals and big personality quickly made her a fan favourite. Already known from her days with legendary band Happy Mondays, Rowetta made it all the way to the quarter-finals of the ITV talent show, finishing fourth overall and becoming the last woman left standing, without ever facing the dreaded sing-off. Fast-forward 19 years, and the 57-year-old is still commanding attention. Rowetta recently turned heads as she posed in a tartan miniskirt and leopard-print thigh-high boots on her way to an Indie Reunion event. She paired the look with a statement tee reading, "The ravers united will never be defeated." She told fans she was "on my way." Simon Cowell once famously described her as "amazing but barking bloody mad", and it's fair to say her bold style and fearless energy haven't faded one bit. In an interview with the singer opened up about her journey on the ITV competition, her music career, and why she never returned to reality TV despite being flooded with offers. According to Rowetta, after The X Factor propelled her to TV fame in 2004, she turned down shows like Big Brother and I'm A Celebrity, only making exceptions for Children in Need and BBC Music Day. Rowetta's journey began in Leeds when Kate Thornton introduced her to the judges before live auditions were part of the show's format. Her renditions of Lady Marmalade and Circle of Life wowed Simon and Sharon from the get-go. She said she was grateful not to win because she and Simon Cowell had a difference of opinion on the final single. Adding: 'I think it would have been a disaster to win it, and then have to bring out songs like that. I love funky stuff. I don't want to be doing Somewhere Over The Rainbow for the rest of my life.' Rowetta said her reason for doing the show was her grandma, who encouraged her to be on TV like the singers she watched. Her career since has included collaborations with the likes of Solardo, Todd Terry, Oliver Heldens and Shed Seven. A proud Mancunian, Rowetta loves being a role model on her local music scene, often performing at Manchester Pride. She said that when she was growing up, 'there was no one to look up to from Manchester that was Black and female.' Last year, in December 2024, it was announced that Rowetta would be leaving the band. The announcement came amidst speculation about past feuds with band member Shaun Ryder. In February this year, MailOnline reported Rowetta sharing that she has allegedly been physically abused by Shaun.

Holly Valance splits from billionaire husband after 13 years of marriage
Former Australian soap star Holly Valance has reportedly split from her billionaire husband Nick Candy after 13 years of marriage. The Neighbours star, 42, met her property tycoon husband in 2009, and he proposed two years later. The pair were married at a lavish £3million California ceremony in 2012, with Simon Cowell being among the star-studded list of attendees. Holly and Nick share two daughters together – Luka Violet Toni, born in November 2013, and Nova Skye Coco, in September 2017. In recent years, Holly and Nick have both become prominent figures in the world of right-wing politics, with Nick resigning his Conservative Party membership last year to become treasurer for the political group Reform. Sources have now revealed that she and Nick have split, putting an end to the power couple's reign. A source told The Sun: 'This has been a very difficult period for both Nick and Holly, and they are keeping things private out of respect for their family. 'The joint parenting of their two amazing daughters remains their top priority. They've had to juggle a demanding lifestyle. Between family, public life, and Nick's intense work commitments, it's been a tough balance. 'This is a family matter, and they're doing their best to handle things thoughtfully. Privacy is obviously very important to them both, so they can focus on what's best for the family.' A spokesperson told the publication: 'This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.' During their marriage, Holly and Nick lived in what was Britain's most expensive flat – a two-storey penthouse worth £175million. They have since downsized, moving to a £10million mansion in the Cotswolds. As of last year, Nick was credited with a net worth of around £1.57billion, while Holly's sits at £15.7million according to The Express. Former Kiss Kiss singer Holly is credited with encouraging Nigel Farage to run for parliament. After previously endorsing Jacob Rees-Mogg for PM, she defected from the Conservative Party to Reform along with husband Nick – telling GB News of how she had been 'whispering in [Farage's] ear for a long time.' In 2022, she and former I'm A Celebrity contestant Farage attended a dinner at (then) former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago abode in Florida. Last year, she hosted a fundraiser in London for his Presidential campaign, with some tickets costing up to $10,000 (£7,287) Of her shift in politics, Holly claimed that 'everyone starts off as a leftie' but at some point 'wakes up.' 'After you start either making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, and then you realise what crap ideas they all are,' she said on GB News' Choppers's Political Podcast. Of her meeting with Trump, Holly described him as 'fabulous' and 'extremely gentlemanly.' Holly continued to surprise those who might only know her as the star of the 2006 film DOA: Dead or Alive, by denying climate change. 'I just think the climate crisis – or lack of – is not a crisis. The air is better than when I was growing up, it used to stink walking down the street when I was growing up,' the National Lampoon's Pledge This! star said. She went on to describe climate champion Greta Thunberg as a 'demonic little gremlin,' blaming her for 'all the kids coming home with depression and anxiety.' In the same podcast interview, she described her home country of Australia as 'woke,' due to what schools are teaching children. 'I don't think sexuality and children should be in the same sentence. I don't think anyone's sexuality is anyone's business. You don't know about mine. I don't know about yours. Why would we?' Fans who remember Holly for her music and acting career have reacted to her reinvention as a cheerleader for right-wing politics with a state of bafflement. More Trending Of her controversial podcast appearance, utb_smith said: 'Holly Valance being a UK political commentator was not on my 2024 bingo card, and Kraig said 'teenage me is very upset by this'. 'Holly Valance ,,,,HOLLY VALANCE ???!!!! I was in love with her for a whole 2 years . What's she doin in british politics?' said Jay Tee. 'Wait, wait, wait… Holly Valance of 'Kiss, Kiss'?!?!?!? Jesus, please, I know you're busy… but… help?' begged Le Gateau Chocolat. has reached out to Holly Valance's representatives for comment. Got a story?

Zara McDermott swipes at ‘frustrating' Sam Thompson split and reveals ‘real relationship' after moving on with Louis
The 28-year-old, who shot to fame on Love Island in 2018, now believes she has found her calling in life NEW START Zara McDermott swipes at 'frustrating' Sam Thompson split and reveals 'real relationship' after moving on with Louis THIS time last year Zara McDermott and Sam Thompson were the golden couple of social media - making thousands off their relationship dynamic online. But fast forward to today and the pair are no longer speaking - let alone making videos together and now for the first time, Zara has opened up on their "frustrating" break up. 10 Zara McDermott has opened up on her split from Sam Thompson Credit: Instagram 10 Sam and Zara's new man Louis Tomlinson came face to face at Soccer Aid earlier this month Credit: Getty 10 Sam and Zara confirmed their split at the start of this year after five year together Credit: Instagram 10 Zara and Louis pictured during a loved-up holiday in Costa Rica last month Credit: BackGrid The pair called time on their five-year romance just after Christmas and not long afterwards The Sun revealed the Love Island star, 28, was dating One Direction's Louis Tomlinson, 33. And in a pointed dig, Zara has insisted social media is no longer important to her as she stressed how focused she now is on "real" relationships - which will no doubt come as a blow for Insta star Sam, who was left blindsided by her new and very public romance. The one-time couple built a whole brand around their social media presence and commanded huge fees to appear in unique and witty online ads together. I'm A Celebrity winner Sam and One Direction singer Louis came face to face earlier this month when they both appeared at Soccer Aid - propelling scrutiny about Zara's personal life to an all time high. Addressing their awkward pitchside head-to-head, Zara insists: 'The only thing in my life that's worth writing about is the work I do. 'I see some of the things that are written and I'm like, 'Why do we focus on the non-existent drama?' Sometimes that can be frustrating, but I suppose it's all part of the industry.' Zara shot to fame on Love Island in 2018, but her career seven years on is a world away from that carefree coupling-up contest in a Mallorcan villa. She has turned her hand to delivering important documentaries - and has already covered topics such as revenge porn, rape culture and eating disorders. Surprisingly, it's meant Zara no longer feels connected to social media in the same way - and despite making thousands from being an ambassador for the likes of L'Oreal Paris and Sure, she says she no longer 'cares'. She banked £4,438 per week last year at Zara Nicole McDermott Limited, the private firm into which she channels her earnings. Louis Tomlinson squeezes Zara McDermott's bum as they kiss on romantic holiday in Costa Rica 'I spend my day job going out and filming with really vulnerable people. And it's shaped me so much as a person that it's made me not sweat the small stuff any more, ' she explains. 'I don't care about social media as much as I used to, or about the aesthetic or the image. I value so much real relationships and real support around me, and being that to other people. 'I'm a totally different person to the one I was when I was 21 years old and stepped into what appeared to be a glitzy world of showbiz. My day to day life is not at all glitz and glamour.' There comes a point where you have to move on Zara on Love Island It's hard to imagine when you look at her incredibly glossy Instagram page - filled with aesthetically pleasing bikini shots and gorgeous cooking videos. But peppered amongst them, Zara posts about her documentaries, which boyfriend Louis has gushed about being so 'proud' of. 10 Zara is now a successful documentary film maker Credit: Instagram 10 She has said she no longer cares so much about social media Credit: zara_mcdermott/Instagram 10 Louis has said how proud he is of Zara and her work Credit: Splash Now, Zara is raising awareness of the horrifying facts about stalking in Britain - and the lack of justice for the victims. The star - who's also filmed a documentary about Thailand's sex industry that should air this year - feels she's found her niche, learning about film-making and creating programmes tackling crucial issues, rather than trading on her time in a bikini by a sun-drenched pool. 'I'm a completely different person' Zara, who worked in the Department for Education as a policy adviser before signing up for Love Island, explains: 'I'm a completely different person to the one that I was when I was 20 or 21 years old. "I've grown and changed beyond recognition - for the good, for sure. I've become so much more aware of issues and what really goes on in the world. Now I'm exploring some very deep, dark, traumatic topics. 'It was an amazing experience, Love Island. It was great fun. But I was only in for 10 days, can you believe it? It was literally blink and you'd miss me. I don't necessarily think I was born to be in front of the camera. 'People might have misconceptions about me, think that because I went on Love Island and because of the social media work that I do, that I love being in front of the camera. I don't think I'm a natural - that's why I only lasted 10 days on Love Island. Because I barely said a word, I was so scared and petrified! 'I was always quite a shy, nervous teenager and young person. So that was a real step out of my comfort zone. And I still think every day that being in front of the camera is a step out of my comfort zone.' 10 The stunning star has moved on from her Love Island days Credit: Getty 10 Zara appeared on the reality dating show in 2018 Credit: Rex 'Born to listen and tell stories' And she now believes she has found her calling in life - and she's ready to put Love Island, which saw her couple up with Lothario Adam Collard, firmly behind her. 'There comes a point where you have to move on. I'm still a massive fan of the show, I still love it,' she explains. ' But when I came out of Love Island it was always so important for me that I do something positive with it, and something that can really make a difference in society. 'I think I was born to listen and help people tell stories. It's an absolute honour and a privilege. But I think if you'd told my 14-year-old self that I would be a presenter, I would have said, 'No way!' While there will be times when former Strictly star Zara may feel like her every move is being watched and scrutinised, in her new two-part documentary series, she's focusing on the stories of women who spend every day in fear of exactly that - terrified of the next text message they'll get and too scared to go out, because they're being stalked. Zara spent months working with the courageous women prepared to share their shocking stories on screen. 'I always knew how much risk the contributors are putting themselves at by going in front of the camera,' she explains. 'Their bravery, I think, was one of the things that astounded me throughout this process. And their vulnerability. "One thing I learned about stalking is that it's a crime that doesn't discriminate. Any age, any gender, any ethnicity, any background. It doesn't matter who you are, where you're from, anyone can be a victim of stalking.' Just dance Zara admits that competing on Strictly Come Dancing in 2023 pushed her to the limit. 'My dad has always taught me: 'If you think you can't do something and you say you're not going to do it, then you won't,'' shares Zara. 'There'll be moments where every bone in your body will be telling you: 'Do not do this.' It's crazy [on Strictly] - the nerves, like you're going to pass out, throw up… All the things that you feel before you go out on a Saturday night show and dance when you're not a dancer! 'But there's something so character-building about pushing through that experience and that feeling of: 'I'm going to pass out because I'm so nervous and so petrified.' But that feeling when you do it… It definitely builds your resilience and it built my confidence a lot in front of the camera.' The facts around stalking make horrifying reading. One in five young people in the UK have experienced stalking or harassment, yet only six per cent of reports lead to a charge and less than two per cent end in a conviction. 'You can see why victims are scared to speak out and are scared to go to the police,' admits Zara, 'because those figures are shockingly low.' Three quarters of stalkers are the ex-partner of victims, but some people are stalked by total strangers. Zara meets women in both situations and heads out with police attempting to arrest a suspect. And she says the relationships she builds don't end when the cameras stop rolling. 'I can't ever just walk away from the end of that project and think: 'I'm done,'' she reveals. 'That relationship to me is so sacred. I think about every single contributor that I've ever been with for my documentaries every day. "Something will remind me of them, because I don't take any moment with them for granted. They have been so brave and shared their stories. I can't ever forget that or let that go, it's so special to me.' Zara says she hasn't been stalked, but feels a huge empathy for people who have been victims. 'I've never been through something like this, so I'll never be able to fully understand. But I hope that this documentary gives people the ability to understand, or try to understand, in the way that I have,' she explains. 'I think one of the most incredible things about my job is that I learn every single day. It's about just being there for them and being able to give them a voice, and being next to them and holding their hands. 'I end up absorbing a lot of that emotion, for sure. And I feel a lot of sadness for them, a lot of guilt that they have to go through this horrendous experience and that sense of injustice.' And for now it seems Zara really has found her niche, making skits online with her boyfriend is very much a thing of the past and with the support of Louis behind her, there are no limits to her possibilities and potential.
