TALK OF THE TOWN GLASTONBURY SPECIAL: Did Sophie Turner and her aristocrat boyfriend Peregrine 'Perry' Pearson seal their revived romance with a proposal?

TALK OF THE TOWN GLASTONBURY SPECIAL: Did Sophie Turner and her aristocrat boyfriend Peregrine 'Perry' Pearson seal their revived romance with a proposal?

Daily Mail​a day ago

Two months after it was rumoured that they were a couple no more, Game Of Thrones actress Sophie Turner and aristocrat Peregrine 'Perry' Pearson put on a very public display of affection at Glastonbury.
What's more, my spies at the festival saw the willowy actress wearing two rings on her ring finger, raising the question of whether Perry could have popped the question when they reconciled their differences?
Either way, the glamorous couple looked very much in love in Glastonbury's VIP hospitality bar, holding hands and laughing with friends.
Sophie, 29, had reportedly told friends she was single in April, after unfollowing 30-year-old Pearson on Instagram.
The pair first sparked rumours of a reconciliation last week when they were spotted having lunch together in London – news apparently confirmed by their 'smitten' behaviour at Worthy Farm.
Pearson, a property developer, is the heir to the 16,500-acre Cowdray estate, in Midhurst, Sussex and to the title Viscount Cowdray.
As the daughter of a nursery teacher and a pallet distribution company worker, Turner had more humble beginnings.
She shot to fame as a teenager after she was cast as Sansa Stark in Game Of Thrones.
The actress and the artiso were first seen together in Paris in October 2023 as Turner was going through a bitter divorce from American pop star Joe Jonas – father of her two daughters, Willa, five, and Delphine, three – after four years of marriage.
Jonas and Sophie wed at the elegant Château de Tourreau in Provence – but perhaps a ceremony at Cowdray House would prove even more glamorous…
Matt's Crown of hair returns
The last time I saw The Crown star Matt Smith – at Kensington Roof Gardens, no less – he was sporting a controversial Mohawk haircut. He told me then that his friends 'wouldn't stop teasing him' over the punk look he'd adopted for a movie role. But now, after seeing him stride through Glastonbury, I'm glad to report he has grown his hair out. Have his pals stopped the mockery? 'Yes, finally,' the Doctor Who star laughs.
It's just how glam Sam Cam jams...
I spied former Prime Minister's wife Samantha Cameron sitting pretty with some bright young things at the Park Stage's VIP bar.
Dressed in a £340 green V-neck dress from her label Cefinn, Adidas Superstar trainers and a bum bag, left, she looked worlds away from the hallowed – if rather stuffy – halls of Westminster.
Her husband, meanwhile, was nowhere to be seen. 'Glastonbury is not really his vibe,' an insider tells me. 'He prefers Wilderness.'
The festival, taking place near his Oxfordshire home next month, is so well-to-do it's been dubbed 'Poshstock'. How very apt...
Cara Delevingne is back at her beloved Glastonbury, but this year she's sober – and skipping the selfies. The model politely turned down a fan photo at ultra-lux glampsite The Pop-Up Hotel, declaring she wasn't wearing make-up... although she has posted pictures au naturel before. But surely she won't make it through a whole festival without being snapped?
Adele's party palace
Glastonbury isn't the only place pop stars can let off steam. A music industry insider tells me Adele has bought a new multi-million-pound house on the beach in the Turks and Caicos Islands to add to her four Beverly Hills properties and several more in London.
Rumour has it that the Grammy-winning star's latest mansion is famous for hosting wild parties.
Though I hear the 37-year-old singer has one very strict house rule: leave your phones at the door.
If you don't, she won't go easy on you, baby…
Romeo Beckham's ex, Mia Regan has appeared in plenty of glamorous photoshoots over the years for the likes of Gucci and Prada.
But that's not how new boyfriend Henry O'Sullivan likes to picture her. My Glasto spies saw him wearing a badge showing Mia ungraciously eating corn on the cob... although finding somewhere to pin it proved difficult, right.
While the couple looked loved up, Romeo was missing in action – apparently laying low after his split from Kim Turnbull, who may be doing a DJ set at the festival.
From Becks to decks!
Cool it, Joe!
He's the nation's PE teacher and king of pandemic workouts, but I hear Joe Wicks wasn't exactly in a jolly mood backstage at Glastonbury.
After leading his annual fitness session at the Park Stage on Friday morning, Joe popped to the nearby bar and asked for ice – only to be told they had none.
'He scoffed and stalked off,' said one flabbergasted onlooker.
'Rude and arrogant. He was awful. I hope you don't cross paths with him!' Bit of an icy reception, Joe…

Pop star sparks feud with Loose Women favourite as she takes swipes during foul-mouthed Glasto set

POP singer Kate Nash has taken a swipe at Denise Welch while performing at Glastonbury. The star, 37, headlined the Left Field tent at the festival and launched into a foul-mouthed tirade at various people including JK Rowling, Rod Stewart - and surprisingly the Loose Women favourite. 4 4 4 Kate ranted: 'The music industry doesn't know what to do with me. They tried to get rid of me, but they didn't. There is a record executive sweating their t*** off with Matt Healy 's mum. 'They're scared of me. I like that. But I was made of mother f****** bricks. But they didn't believe me. I even gave them a second warning a few years later when I told them 'Do not underestimate the girl'. Is it my fault they didn't believe me? 'I'm not going to give my third warning. It's too late for that. I'm taking my bricks and I'm throwing them through the f****** window.' Denise was at Glastonbury this weekend to support her son Matt Healy who was headlining with his band The 1975. Matt meanwhile preached love to fans during the band's set on the Pyramid Stage. Pausing between songs to address the crowd on Friday night, he said: "The lack of politics in this show, it is a conscious decision. "We don't want our legacy to be one of politics - we want it to be that of love and friendship. "You go out into the world and there is loads of politics. We don't need more, we need more love and friendship. "If you are a young kid and inspired about this band, aspire for friendship and love in what you do and you will never fail - and I love you." Last year Kate revealed she had joined OnlyFans to fund her tour. She said the extra money meant she wouldn't have to compromise on things like staff wages and safe tour buses that aren't overcrowded. Kate said she was determined to put on a "high quality show for fans" and said of her money-making campaign: "I've got a great bum. "I often flash a bit anyway so it was a fun idea, but I didn't think it would get this much of a reaction." Kate's debut album, Made Of Bricks, which went straight to No1 when it came out in 2007. 4 Kate split from her label and self-released her third and fourth records, the latter being called Yesterday Was Forever in 2018. She previously revealed she found herself in financial difficulty. The Brit School alum told The Guardian of the dip in her success after Foundations and said: "I'd trusted the wrong people with my money, which meant I had to sell my flat and move back in with my parents. "I'd worked so hard and had nothing to show for it. The worst part was that I knew I wasn't going to give up. "I briefly thought I should become a teacher instead, but then I realised: 'How are you going to do that? You don't even have a degree because you didn't get into any universities.' "Having this career is about fighting your way through it."

Lily Allen delights fans at Glastonbury with surprise performance with Shy FX

Lily Allen went from enjoying the entertainment at Glastonbury as a member of the public to performing on stage herself as she grabbed a mic to support dance act Shy FX Lily Allen has shared her delight at being able to perform in front of fans at the 2025 Glastonbury Festival. The 40-year-old singer was a surprise performer at the festival on Saturday night. Lily had been sharing snaps and video clips from Worthy Farm as she embraced the fun and festivities of the annual event. And on Saturday night she switched from partygoer to performer as she picked up a mic to sing on stage. ‌ She joined the DJ and producer Shy FX and belted out their 2018 track Roll The C. Lily donned a pair of sprakly hot pants and simple vest top as she danced and sang on stage. ‌ The viewing crowd gleefully sang along and footage circulated on social media - which Lily herself re-posted. She uploaded a collection of highlights from her weekend on Instagram. Uploading the content to her main grid, she wrote: "Much fun was had. Thank you @glastofest and @mercedesbenzuk for the lift!" Her sudden appearance meant Lily was on stage at the festival alongside huge stars including The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo. Sir Rod Stewart was also among the stars performing at the festival this year and previously shared his excitement about playing the festival. He will play the teatime Legend's Slot on Sunday - a titled that he isn't overly thrilled about. He told the BBC: "I just wish they wouldn't call it the tea time slot. That sounds like pipe and slippers, doesn't it?" However, he went on to tease fans what to expect when he takes to the stage. He said: "Usually I do well over two hours so there's still a load of songs we won't be able to do. But we've been working at it. ‌ "I'm not gonna make any announcements between songs. I'll do one number, shout 'next', and go straight into the next one. I'm going to get in as many songs I can." The singer explained that he usually plays for over two hours when he is on tour and that Glastonbury organisers initially offered him only 75 minutes for his slot - but he was able to negotiate this up to 90 minutes instead. ‌ His performance was, however, hit with technical issues and he was forced to leave the stage at certain point to resolve the issues. Straight after entertaining with his rendition of Do Ya Think I'm Sexy, Rod told the crowd: "The girls are going to do a song for you while I change my shirt. " The 2025 festival has been marred by controversy, however, as a relatively unknown band called Bob Vylan led crowds in a chant of "Death to the IDF". The sickening chant has led to the festival being compared to a Nazi rally as eager crowds egged on the suggestion of killing the only Jewish army in the world. Further controversey was stoked when Irish band Kneecap - who have been slammed for urging fans to kill MPs and for supporting the terrorist organisations Hamas and Hezbollah who both plan to destroy the western world - also took to the stage. While the Kneecap performance was censored by the BBC, Bob Vylan's set streamed live on the BBC leading to political leaders to blast the festival for allowing dangerous rhetoric to air. Addressing the backlash, a BBC spokesperson said: 'Some of the comments made during Bob Vylan's set were deeply offensive. During this live stream on iPlayer, which reflected what was happening on stage, a warning was issued on screen about the very strong and discriminatory language. We have no plans to make the performance available on demand.'

Drum and bass festival goer, 21, dies at event 'shut down for being too hot'

A 21-year-old man has died at a drum and bass festival was closed down for being too hot. The man was rushed from Margate Drum and Bass to the hospital - the event was then shutdown early. Organisers of the event at Dreamland Margate, an amusement park in Kent, announced on social media that it was forced to 'close early' as 'it was just too hot today'. The event was due to end at 10:45pm Saturday evening but organisers issued an announcement at 6:30pm to say it would be closing prematurely, urging gig-goers to 'get home safely'. A force spokesperson told The Sun today: 'Kent Police was made aware of a report that a man in his 20s, who was taken to hospital following a medical incident at Dreamland in Margate on the afternoon of Saturday 28 June 2025, subsequently died. 'Officers are making enquiries into the circumstances of the death which is not believed to be suspicious. 'A report is being prepared for the coroner.' A note was sent to all members of Thanet District Council by the authority's chief executive Colin Carmichael last night, KentOnline reported. An unnamed councillor told KentOnline that his note said: 'Very sadly, a 21-year-old man was taken by blue light services from Dreamland and died at QEQM (Hospital). 'We understand that medical advisers approved the medical provisions set up by Dreamland for this event, but of course, police will carry out a proper investigation. 'We are not intending to speculate until we have the results of that.' The festival, which was open only to over 18-year-olds was due to be headlined by Andy C, alongside performances from Wilkinson, K Motionz, Mozey and Fish56octagon. A festival goer told KentOnline that Mozey came on stage to tell everyone to leave the festival. They said a few people were angry but most other revellers were calm about the situation. A crowd of around 7,000 were evacuated shortly after the announcement. A man announcing the closure on the tannoy reportedly said the closure was due to staff being 'inundated' by people needing medical assistance. It follows the death of 17-year-old Emily Stokes who died in hospital last year after attending the same festival in Kent. Her sister Megan said she 'passed away from an overdose from being spiked'. Megan has since paid tribute to her older sister, saying she was the 'kindest person you could ever meet' and 'was so full of life'. Ms Stokes was found to have 5,500 micrograms of MDMA per litre of the teenager's blood – more than three times higher than the level that has been fatal in other drug overdose cases. The inquest was also told that a batch of the drug circulating in the area at the time was laced with lethal fentanyl.
