Chesney Hawkes addresses Celebrity Big Brothers rumours
The One and Only singer was grilled about the speculation by presenters Nina Warhurst and Charlie Stayt while promoting his tour on BBC Breakfast.
"Rumour has it, Chesney, that you're going in Celebrity Big Brother. Is that true or not?" Charlie asked, to which the singer coyly responded, "I have no idea what you're talking about."
Charlie pressed him further by asking, "So, that's a yes?" prompting the 53-year-old to reply, "Pfft, I don't know where you got that from."
Nina then proposed a hypothetical question about how Chesney might prepare if he were heading into the Big Brother house on Monday.
"Probably sleeping if I was to do that," Chesney remarked, before deflecting the line of questioning by asking Charlie if he was doing the reality show.
"I'm not doing it, I can categorically say I'm not," Charlie confirmed, to which Nina added, "So can I; you can't though."
Chesney then struggled to find a response when asked for his whereabouts on Tuesday, and Charlie suggested that maybe he had "a clear couple of weeks" in his schedule.
"Yeah, I'm just going to rest in... sitting on the couch at home" the hitmaker added, to which the presenters complimented him for "holding the line" and not giving anything away.
This year's edition of Celebrity Big Brother, once again hosted by AJ Odudu and Will Best, kicks off on Monday.
The housemates will be revealed on the night, however, rumoured contestants include Hollywood actor Mickey Rourke, soap stars Patsy Palmer and Jack P Shepherd, dancer JoJo Siwa, and TV personalities Trisha Goddard and Chris Hughes.

Skechers skewered for adding secret Apple AirTag compartment to kids' sneakers — have we reached peak obsessive parenting?
Helicopter parenting just got a hardware upgrade. Skechers has launched a new kids' sneaker line — 'Find My Skechers' — with a covert feature that's raising eyebrows: a hidden compartment under the insole, tailor-made for an Apple AirTag. This unexpected feature allows for 'easy tracking and comfort of mind,' the brand's product page boasts. 'Hidden compartment under the heel of the insole has a screw-tight cover that comfortably hides the AirTag. Apple AirTag and screwdriver not included.' 4 On paper, it's a smart fix for misplaced sneakers. In reality? It's a stealthy way to keep tabs on the kiddos — igniting a digital dust-up over whether it's parental peace of mind or toddler-tailgating gone too far. SKETCHERS From the outside, these Skechers are indistinguishable from the regular line — no branding hints at the AirTag hiding inside. The compartment's screw-on lid keeps the tracker secure, safe from curious toddlers (and would-be pocket thieves). Sizes run from toddlers to eight-year-olds, with prices starting at $52 — AirTag sold separately. In theory, it's a clever way for parents to locate lost shoes. In practice? It's a way to track their kids without them knowing — sparking an online brawl over whether this is parental peace of mind or pint-sized surveillance. In a video posted to TikTok by @brutamerica showing the new sneakers, commenters were split between safety and Big Brother fears. 'This could end badly or good,' one wrote. Another argued, 'There's too many kids that go missing without a trace to worry about normalizing tracking above the safety factor. If the world was a safer place we can talk about the problems of normalizing tracking all day… but it's far too dangerous to worry about that.' 'This is actually smart,' chimed in someone else. 4 Reactions ranged from praise for the safety benefits — especially for kids with special needs — to blunt rejections and warnings that the shoes veer into creepy, Big Brother territory. SKETCHERS 'I'm more worried abt the AirTag's ability to handle all the normal kid activities (running, jumping, etc) while not breaking… damage to the AirTag could really hurt a kid if it's in their shoe,' pointed out someone else. 4 From the outside, these Skechers look like any other pair, but a screw‑lid compartment hidden inside the insole secures an AirTag, with sizes from toddlers to eight‑year‑olds starting at $52 — tracker sold separately. SKETCHERS Skechers isn't the first brand to embrace AirTag accessorizing, but the shoes may be the most discreet option yet. Still, critics see them as a step toward normalizing constant tracking — until we're all wearing GPS-ready clothing by default. Or, as one Bluesky user summed up the mood: 'Why have relationships when you can have dictatorship?' 4 Some social media users are seeing lifesaving potential with the new Sketchers, while other critics are fearing that this new feature normalizes constant surveillance. Gulnaz – In other words: We've gone from 'Be home by dinner' to 'I know exactly where you are — and so do your shoes.' As previously reported by The Post, rising parental anxiety has already fueled 'next-level helicopter parents' — some tracking their college-age kids, calling RAs and even contacting professors. Experts warn that this constant monitoring, however well-intentioned, can stunt independence and resilience, making it harder for young adults to navigate life on their own.

Warwick Davis' daughter pictured with boyfriend following family heartbreak
Annabelle Davis has posted the sweetest snap of her and her boyfriend, Charlie. The actress, who is the daughter of Warwick Davis, has been with Charlie since 2021. Posting to Instagram, the Dumping Ground actress, 28, shared the sweet picture of her and Charlie sitting together. Annabelle looked pretty in a pink floral dress, beige heels and a timeless Louis Vuitton purse, while Charlie wore a classic navy suit as they gazed into each other's eyes. Though the pair largely keep their relationship private, speaking to Sunbox Campers, Annabelle revealed they love to go caravanning. "Growing up my parents and I were away all the time camping and caravanning all the time… "Having grown up with that, it's made me want to go travelling myself." Warwick Davis' new love after heartbreak After the devastating loss of his wife, Samantha Davis, in 2024, Warwick revealed at the BAFTAs that a mystery woman had helped him find love again. The Harry Potter star was honoured with the BAFTA Fellowship earlier this year. He was tearful as he thanked his loved ones for their support throughout his career, including his "wonderful" late wife Samantha, his two children – Annabelle and Harrison – and someone he affectionately nicknamed "Sponge". Hinting at a potential new relationship, Warwick got particularly choked up as he said: "Special mention, too, should go to Sponge, you know who you are. Thank you for showing me that life can still have meaning, and for helping me to laugh and to love again." Though he's keeping Sponge's identity a mystery, he did reveal on the Jonathan Ross Show that his new girlfriend reminds him of Daisy May Cooper's character Kerry Mucklowe in BBC mockumentary series This Country. Warwick's late wife Warwick faced immense heartbreak when his wife, Samantha, died aged 53 in March 2024. Confirming the sad news, the Willow star released an official statement on his wife of 23 years, which said: "My wife and soul-mate, best friend. Devoted mother, My favourite human. My most trusted confidant and an ardent supporter of everything I did in my career, has passed. "The most open, warm person I have ever known. Her passing has left a huge hole in our lives as a family. I miss her hugs. She was a unique character, always seeing the sunny side of life. She had a wicked sense of humour and always laughed at my bad jokes. Samantha and Warwick's two children, Harrison, 21, and Annabelle, 28, joined their dad in the tribute after losing their mum. "Mum is our best friend and we're honoured to have received a love like hers. Her love and happiness carried us through our whole lives." Before Samantha's passing, the family of four were often spotted together at events and film premieres and it was clear that they all had an extremely close relationship.
