Tyra Banks shares obsession with one food after addressing her new look
Former America's Next Top Model star Tyra Banks has revealed her 'excessive' love for ice-cream as she launches a brand new business following her move to Australia Tyra Banks has revealed she will eat ice cream multiple times per day as she embraces her new passion for the frozen desert. While the 51-year-old is best known for her work as a model, she has pivoted to become an ice cream proprietor in Australia. The American star has shipped her family Down Under and opened a store named SMiZE & DREAM - which has a nod to her modelling tip of smiling with the eyes. The America's Next Top Model icon has also explained that she is something of an ice-cream addict. Having moved to Australia, the businesswoman and mother has been enjoying getting to know her neighbourhood by way of the multitude of ice cream parlours in the area. And while many might be tempted to stop off at one shop to pick up a treat, Tyra has revealed she will attend no less than three. The model went on to explain that she considers no amount of ice cream too little or too excessive. Opening up to Australia's Daily Telegraph, she said: "We go full-on ice cream mode. We don't stop at one - we hit Messina, Anita, and Royal Copenhagen. Yep. Three. In a row. "Call it excessive - we call it Saturday. We're an ice cream family. And when you love frozen cream, there's no such thing as too much." Tyra has opened her SMiZE & DREAM parlour in Sydney's Darling Harbour this month and has been promoting her new business. She also told the Daily Mail Australia how much she is loving her new life Down Under. She said: "I was coming for about a year and a half and just fell in love with it,' she said. 'And I said, should we make this move? And here we are. "I love Darling Harbour because of this park. Tumbalong Park is magical... I have friends that live an hour and a half away and on the weekends they drive here just to go to the water and put their feet in with the kids. "There's a playground for older kids, one for younger kids, Darling Square nearby, the harbour – it just felt natural." She went on to explain she named one of her new ice cream flavours after herself. Describing the salted sweet cream, butter-roasted pecans and savoury caramel butter flavour, she gushed: "My favourite flavour is called Tyra's Favourite – very creative, isn't it? ... It's not your traditional ice cream taste – it has this surprising, rich sensation in the mouth." Last year, Tyra opened up about her modelling past and future as she prepared to return to the catwalk for a Victoria's Secret show. In an empowering message she said: "50-year-old women, insecure women - I just felt like there was more, and I look at the playback and I'm like, boom, boom, boom. "I was stomping because I felt like I was a vessel more so than it's just all about me. It was different." She also discussed her thoughts on the way her body has changed over the years, saying: "Also what was different is my boobies were like 10 times bigger because I was about 40-50 pounds (18-22 kg) heavier on this runway than when I retired. So I was like, 'Don't fall out, don't fall out.'"

Simone Holtznagel speaks out about social media trolls and her fears for daughter Gia: 'It's already terrible and brutal'
Simone Holtznagel has shared her concerns about the dangers of social media, revealing she already fears the impact it could have on her young daughter as she grows up in an increasingly digital world. The 31-year-old, who welcomed her daughter Gia last year, admitted she's already thinking about how the online world might affect her little girl when she's older. 'I definitely worry about social media with Gia, not right now but when she goes to school and gets older,' she told The Daily Telegraph on Sunday. 'It is already terrible and brutal so who knows what it is going to be like by then.' Holtznagel, who rose to fame as a contestant on Australia's Next Top Model and has since become a staple in the fashion and influencer space, knows all too well the toxic underbelly of the internet. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She's been the target of online trolls herself and says the experience has made her more vocal when it comes to standing up to bullying. While many suffer in silence, she said she's grateful to have the platform and confidence to call out abusive behaviour - something not everyone feels empowered to do. Though she admits she's developed a thick skin over the years, Holtznagel says the intensity of online criticism continues to shock her. From cruel remarks about her appearance to unsolicited opinions about her parenting, the model has copped it all - and it's made her more protective than ever. The new mum now uses her experiences to advocate for greater kindness online and hopes social media platforms will evolve to offer better protections by the time her daughter reaches school age. Simone previously dated celebrity personal trainer Jono, 34, and they welcomed their daughter before ending things late last year. Jono has since moved on with Love Triangle star Emily Ryder, with the two debuting their relationship on social media. Last month, Jono was spotted enjoying a romantic night out with Emily at the Sydney Opera House. The pair have reportedly been dating for several months and are taking things 'very slowly'. Sources close to the couple say Jono and Emily bonded over their shared passion for fitness and adventure, and are often seen working out together. While the couple have kept their relationship relatively low-key until now, insiders claim they are 'absolutely smitten' and looking forward to spending even more time together. Jono and Simone dated for almost two years after meeting through Sydney's social scene and share Gia, one, together. The trainer, who owns the Acero fitness brand, remains one of Australia's most in-demand celebrity trainers, having worked with the likes of Rebel Wilson, Rita Ora and Michael Clarke.

Abbey Clancy says she'd 'have ten kids' as Peter Crouch threatens to 'leave her'
Abbey Clancy says she'd 'have ten kids' as Peter Crouch threatens to 'leave her' Former Britain's Next Top Model star Abbey Clancy has revealed that she has welcomed a new 'baby' into her life - but husband Peter Crouch is not on board with the idea of expanding their brood Abbey Clancy revealed that her husband Peter Crouch has put his foot down on expanding their brood (Image: Dave Benett,for Agent Provocateur ) Between juggling a successful podcast and frequent TV appearances, Abbey Clancy's life is anything but quiet. Yet despite the busy pace, her desire to expand her family hasn't faded. "I'd have 10 kids if I could," she recently revealed to Sunday Express magazine. However, she recognises that her husband, ex-England striker Peter Crouch, thinks their family of six is quite enough. "I think he said he'll leave me if I bring another living thing into the house," Abbey joked, noting that with all the children in school, she's got space for a new baby. But Peter has put his foot down with a firm "no way." At 39, Abbey concedes that while she often gets her way, convincing Peter to agree to a fifth child seems a tall order - no pun intended. Instead, she's turned her attention to a different kind of baby. "I've actually just got a lovely new baby who's 18 hands," she said, introducing Enzo, her horse. Abbey dreams of having Enzo closer, ideally in her garden or sharing a bed with her and Peter, though she knows it's not practical, reports Bristol Live. While more kids may not be in the cards, Abbey shared that Peter's commitment to their children Sophia Ruby, Liberty Rose, Johnny, and Jack is as strong as hers. For the latest TV and showbiz gossip sign up to our newsletter Article continues below The pair treasure their alone time, whether on a date night or a short break, but invariably end up "complaining the whole time that we're missing them!" Abbey has been vocal about her efforts to keep her children humble, irrespective of the perks that come from having celebrity and well-off parents. Speaking with the Daily Mail, she remarked: "I'm conscious of them becoming spoilt brats – I couldn't bear that." She's acutely aware of the hazards associated with rearing kids in affluence and is intent on instilling in them the value of hard work. "It's hard to completely keep them away from it: I've got a nice house, a nice car, we go on nice holidays. But I'd like them to work hard and know it doesn't come easily," Abbey said. Abbey attributes her personal upbringing and career path as the foundation of her principles today. She reflected: "Their dad has worked hard since he was a kid to be a top footballer and I've worked hard to have what I have." Article continues below Originally hailing from Liverpool, Abbey set her sights on fame early on, leaving school at 16 to delve into the entertainment world, starting with a brief stint in the girl band Genie Queen, under the management of Andy McCluskey from Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark and Atomic Kitten's renowned manager. Abbey has openly confessed to her childhood dreams, saying: "I always wanted to be a singer, dancer, model and actress, I was such a poser."

Lewis Hamilton's supermodel friend waved Canadian GP chequered flag a lap early
Winnie Harlow was left red-faced after she accidentally waved the chequered flag a lap early at the 2018 Canadian Grand Prix, leading to F1 bosses scrambling for a solution The Canadian Grand Prix continues to be a popular stop on the F1 calendar, with one particularly chaotic edition coming in 2018 when the chequered flag was waved prematurely. Last year it was Red Bull's Max Verstappen who emerged victorious in an adrenaline-fuelled, rain-soaked race following a tense five-car showdown. The current Formula One world champion secured a crucial lead as McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri battled with George Russell and Lewis Hamilton trailing behind. Post-race, Verstappen labelled the action "crazy", while Norris described it as "chaos". However, this was a well-orchestrated affair compared to the 2018 Canadian Grand Prix, where model Winnie Harlow's early wave of the chequered flag caused havoc on the track and left F1 bosses scrambling for a solution. As F1 returns to Montreal, it'll be hard to replicate the bedlam that unfolded seven years ago. Flag waving has been a tradition for many celebrities over the years, with David Beckham, Serena Williams and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland all having their moment in the spotlight. Yet, no one has made quite the impression that America's Next Top Model alumna, Winnie Harlow - a friend of Hamilton - did back in May 2018. At a memorable Formula 1 race, the Victoria's Secret model unwittingly steered herself into the sport's annals – but not as she might have anticipated. Tasked with ending the 70-lap long haul, the 30-year-old, who was 28 at the time, was caught in a gargantuan gaffe when she unfurled the chequered flag prematurely on the 69th lap. This early display plunged Sebastian Vettel's last lap into disarray at the Grand Prix, prompting the German driver to urgently radio his team, urging them to clarify the mishap while he powered through the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve to complete the race properly. After the confusion, Harlow managed to wave the flag at the correct moment as Vettel sailed across the finish line, no doubt leaving F1 bosses biting their nails after the error. Rule 43.2 loomed over the event, highlighting the unintended power of an early flag to potentially decide the race's outcome. In a stroke of good luck, the racing order was preserved despite the flag faux pas, allowing all involved to exhale in collective relief. Reflecting on the nerve-wracking experience, Vettel admitted his post-race jitters: "Some of the marshals were already celebrating. I was just worried that people wouldn't jump on the track and start celebrating. We're still going at full pace." After the race, Harlow took to Instagram to explain the blunder to her followers, saying she was instructed to wave the chequered flag too soon. "WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO WAVE THE FLAG A LAP TOO EARLY! You had one job sir!!! Hahaha but so grateful everyone was safe today and no one got hurt from this," she posted. The late Charlie Whiting, who was the FIA race director at the time, later absolved Harlow of blame, confirming that she was told to wave the flag prematurely and it wasn't her fault. He detailed that the mix-up happened due to a miscommunication with a local Montreal official, who asked if it was the final lap but was misunderstood as confirming it, leading to the early end-of-race signal. Former F1 managing director Ross Brawn also came to Harlow's defence, commenting: "Winnie simply followed the instructions she was given and I want to apologise for the grief she received and thank her for supporting Formula 1." Despite the mishap being a red-faced moment for F1, Harlow wasn't the only celebrity to fumble the flag. At the 2002 Brazilian Grand Prix, football legend Pele was in the spotlight for missing Michael Schumacher's finish when he waved the flag while looking the other way.

Who is Romeo Beckham's rumoured flame Caroline Daur - huge net worth and Victoria's seal of approval
Romeo Beckham has sparked new romance rumours after being spotted with German model Caroline Daur, 30, just weeks after his split from Kim Turnbull Speculation has been abuzz once more about the Beckham clan as Romeo Beckham was spotted out in public with a potential new flame. It comes just weeks after the 22 year old is said to have split with ex, Kim Turnbull. Romeo was seen spending quality time along with German fashion model Caroline Daur, 30. The blogger even appears to already have the seal of approval from mum Victoria Beckham, who has admired her work. The Spice Girls star's Facebook account asked Caroline for an image of her wearing one of her designs back in 2018. Caroline has also been spotted at various fashion shows for the Victoria Beckham brand, as reported by the Mirror. But what is her background? She revealed previously she credits her success to being "self-made". She said: "I don't have an agent, manager or assistant. I do everything by myself." Caroline emerged in the industry in 2010 with a fashion blog which has only continued to grow in success. It has so far amassed 4.6million Instagram followers. She also has over one million people follower her TikTok account. The model is now believed to have a net worth of around €4 million (£3.4million). Not only dabbling in the fashion world, but she's also branched out into the television industry. She starred as a guest just on the German version of Next Top Model. Caroline also launched a series of work out videos which were available to follow online. The German model is also set to appear on the small-screen for a new German Netflix series, She Said Yes. Elsewhere in her personal life, Caroline has also candidly opened up on her struggles with ADHD after recieving a diagnosis later in life. "It didn't surprise me," she confessed after revealing the condition. "And it didn't surprise anyone around me either. The diagnosis came late, but it explained so much." She continued: "'My brain is like an internet browser with 47 tabs open. Sport is the only way I can calm it down. This morning I worked out at 7am, even after a short night. Without it, I just don't function." It's so far not been disclosed how Romeo's famous family brood will react to a romance between the pair. He has found himself wrapped up in the alleged ongoing family feud after eldest son Brooklyn, 26, snubbed dad David's 50th birthday celebrations. Brooklyn was said to have been 'uneasy' about Romeo dating his ex Kim, with the pair previously being close pals. He reportedly felt his parents were 'favouring' his younger brother, who was seen beaming in snaps from David's birthday. Amid the fallout, Romeo and Kim ended their partnership and now appears to be getting cosy with the German model. The pair were spotted in Paris together, having reportedly bonded over their love of Tennis. Both were attending the Men's Singles Semi Final at the French Open on Friday.
