Ingrid Andress update: What happened after drunk 2024 HR Derby national anthem
The Home Run Derby is tonight, which means it's time to reflect on past derbies and the moments we remember most. And when it comes to last year's contest, not many things stand out more than the scene before the derby even started -- when Ingrid Andress sung one of the worst renditions of the national anthem we can remember. The 33-year-old country singer's off-key version of the anthem had fans comparing her to Fergie, something she later apologized for, saying she was drunk and was going to check herself into a facility for help. Thankfully, Andress seems to be doing a lot better now. In February, she redeemed herself by singing the national anthem at a Colorado Rockies game (the Instagram post of that moment was her first social media activity since the apology). She released a song called Footprints in March. And last month, she gave Glamour a first-person account of what happened in the lead-up to the derby and the immediate aftermath. INGRID ANDRESS: 4 facts about the country star "I'm very open about going to rehab, because I think it's a privilege to be able to go. Sometimes there's such a taboo about it, like 'Oh, that person's broken,' but it felt like an emotional hospital for processing emotions and doing trauma work, and learning to care about how you feel again and what your coping mechanisms are. It was a bit of a relief too—I wasn't allowed to have my phone, which was helpful because I basically went straight from the anthem to rehab." And there you have it. Everything seems to be about music again for the four-time Grammy nominee.

It comes after it was revealed that Holly and Nick, 52, are divorcing after 13 years of marriage. Friends told The Sun that the couple had quietly separated in recent weeks. A family friend said: '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.' The couple - prominent figures in right-wing political circles - were last seen together in March during a lunch outing in London. Holly rose to fame in the early 2000s playing Felicity 'Flick' Scully in the Australian soap Neighbours, before launching a pop career. She launched a pop career and her 2002 debut album Footprints produced several hits, including chart-topper Kiss Kiss. But she was sued by her former manager and forced to hand out a £200,000 pay out.

Nick, a billionaire property developer, co-founded the luxury real estate business Candy & Candy with his brother Christian in the early 1990s. Their developments include the ultra-exclusive One Hyde Park in London, valued at over £1 billion. The couple married in 2012 in a lavish £3 million ceremony in California attended by 300 guests, including music mogul Simon Cowell. In recent years, Holly and Nick have emerged as vocal supporters of Reform UK. Nick left the Conservative Party last year and was appointed Reform's treasurer in December, pledging to raise tens of millions for leader Nigel Farage — including donating a seven-figure sum himself. Holly has also been a visible presence in political circles. She visited Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in 2022 alongside Farage and her husband attended Boris Johnson's wedding celebration in 2021. She is credited with encouraging Farage's return to frontline politics. Speaking last year about her political shift, Holly said:'Everyone starts off as a leftie and then wakes up at some point after making money, working, trying to run a business, trying to buy a home, then realises what crap ideas they all are.' A spokesperson for the couple said: 'This is a private matter and we will not be making any further comment.' 8 They were married in a lavish ceremony in 2012 Credit: Splash 8 Holly appeared on the ninth season of Strictly Come Dancing Credit: Jon Bond -The Sun 8 Holly is best known for her time on Neighbours Credit: Getty
