Holly Willoughby and husband seen at Glastonbury as she helps out festivalgoer
Glastonbury Festival attendees are in the company of former This Morning host Holly Willoughby and her husband Dan Baldwin this year, with the couple at Worthy Farm together Festivalgoers at Glastonbury are in the company of Holly Willoughby this year. The presenter and her husband Dan Baldwin have been spotted among the crowds at the festival today ahead of the first headliner performing tonight. Holly, 44, and TV producer Dan, 50, arrived at Worthy Farm in Somerset earlier. The couple, who have three children together, have joined the thousands of fans in attendance for the five day festival, which opened on Wednesday. Former This Morning host Holly was seen queuing for refreshments at Workers Charter Bar, which is located by the Pyramid Stage. One photo shows her later reaching the front of the queue for the bar alongside one of her pals. Holly, who was seen chatting to friends, appeared to be in good spirits and relaxed on site. Helping out a festivalgoer, she gave directions to someone at one point and was seen beside her husband Dan, whom she married in 2007, whilst standing by the bar in one photo taken earlier. She opted to wear a white dress and coordinated jacket for the festival today. Holly matched her brown boots with a matching hat and bag as part of her outfit. Her husband Dan instead sported a black t-shirt and dark shorts. Holly teased on Instagram this afternoon that she was at the festival. She shared a photo of herself sat at a table beside an iced bucket of wine. The post had been uploaded by rosé brand Lady A with the caption: "Glasto incoming." The former Dancing On Ice host's arrival comes ahead of the first headline act performing tonight. The 1975 will take to the Pyramid Stage at Glastonbury later this evening as the debut headliner for this year's festival weekend. It was revealed by the Mirror earlier that the band - which consists of Matty Healy, Adam Hann, Ross MacDonald and George Daniel - have "pulled out all the stops". A source told us: "Everyone was so blown away that Matty, Ross, George and Adam were headlining, but it's no surprise given how loved they are universally." The source added: "They've played Glastonbury before, but this is the boys at their very best and then some. They're one of the biggest bands in the world, and their tours sell out almost instantly, but to see them on the Pyramid Stage in the headline slot, nobody could have expected this." They went on to tease that fans should "expect a few surprises" when they take to the main stage. The source said: "Everyone behind the scenes has worked so hard to pull out all the stops - fans should expect a few surprises." The 1975 - known for songs like Chocolate - are the first of this year's three Pyramid Stage headline acts. Their set on Friday night will be followed by performances by Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo on Saturday and Sunday respectively.

Lily James joins pal Billie Piper while Holly Willoughby lets her hair down as they lead the celebrities at day one of Glastonbury Festival
Lily James joined her pal Billie Piper as Holly Willoughby let her hair down as they lead the celebrities at day one of Glastonbury Festival. The Cinderella star, 36, strolled through Worthy Farm kitted out in Barbour as the festival kicked off on Friday. She looked as chic as ever in a light grey quilted Barbour jacket, paired with a sports bra and white drawstring shorts, as well as black Barbour welly boots. Lily was joined by her friend, Doctor Who star Billie, 42, who sported the same welly boots as well as a dark green Barbour wax jacket with a corduroy collar and black hot pants. Also seen out and about was TV presenter Holly, 44, who has been a longtime regular at the hotly anticipated music festival and jetted in from London Heliport. After disembarking the helicopter, Holly wasted no time kickstarting the three-day spectacular in Somerset, as she strolled around the grounds with a friend. She looked effortlessly stylish for the outing as she sported a white mini dress and lace overlay from Free People, which costs £158. The mother-of-three paired her boho chic dress with the matching cardigan with frilled sleeves and kept comfortable in a pair of brown lace-up Grenson boots. Holly toted her essentials in a suede-look fringed handbag and pushed a large suitcase alongside her as she got ready for the festival fun. The former This Morning host completed her ensemble with a pair of black shades and a wide-brimmed brown hat. She appeared to be in jovial spirits as she flashed a huge smile as she joined hundreds of thousands of people in heading to Glastonbury. Glastonbury 2025 is set to be another star-studded affair with Rod Stewart, Olivia Rodrigo, Neil Young, The 1975, Nile Rodgers and Noah Kahan all set to perform. Lewis Capaldi took to the stage at Glastonbury for a secret set after releasing his brand new single, Survive. The powerful track is the Scottish singer's first offering following a two-year career hiatus due to his battle with Tourettes. She looked as chic as ever in a light grey quilted Barbour jacket, paired with a sports bra and white drawstring shorts, as well as black Barbour welly boots Lily was joined by her friend, Doctor Who star Billie, 42, who sported the same welly boots as well as a dark green Barbour wax jacket with a corduroy collar and black hot pants James Norton looked stylish wearing Ché Studios and Russell and Bromley boots as he soaked up the sights of the festival Lewis's new song coincided with his big stage return at Glastonbury, two years after he broke down on-stage at the festival. Following his emotional set at Worthy Farm in June 2023, the singer, 28, took time off to focus on his mental health and to 'adjust to the impact' of his Tourette's diagnosis. Yet earlier this month, The Mail on Sunday revealed that Lewis was set to return to the spotlight with a performance at this year's festival, in the 'secret slot' on Friday at the Pyramid Stage after Alanis Morissette. And now it has been claimed that the Scottish star will release his first single since he dropped Strangers and A Cure For Minds Unwell in January last year, to coincide with his Glastonbury set. During his last performance at Glastonbury two years ago, Lewis was coming out of a three-week mental health hiatus he had taken to ' rest and recover '. Returning to the stage, the singer admitted he had been 's**t scared' to perform as he opened up about his mental health struggles and battle with Tourette's. The neurological condition is characterised by a combination of involuntary noises and movements called tics, and can cause speech and voice abnormalities. In the middle of his set, Lewis confessed that he was struggling with his Tourette's and said his voice had 'packed it in', after coughing throughout the show. However, his supportive fans rallied around him, with the show coming to an heartwarming close as the supportive crowd sang out his hit Someone You Love at the top of their voices. She looked in good spirits as she wheeled her hefty suitcase along with her She teamed her boho chic look with a matching cardigan with frilled sleeves and kept comfortable in a pair of brown lace-up boots Holly toted her essentials in a suede-look fringed handbag as she got ready for the festival fun She appeared to be in jovial spirits as she flashed a huge smile as she joined hundreds of thousands of people heading to Glastonbury Lewis emotionally left the stage, saying: 'Glastonbury, I'm really sorry. I'm a bit annoyed with myself.' Afterwards, he announced he would be 'taking a break for the foreseeable future' as it was 'obvious' he needs to spend 'much more time getting my mental and physical health in order'. The hitmaker, who had been due to embark upon a world tour, explained he needed time to 'adjust to the impact' of living with Tourette's, admitting it was 'the most difficult [decision] of my life'. Lewis had charted his struggles with the condition in a documentary How I'm Feeling Now, which aired in April 2023, two months before his breakdown at Glastonbury. Earlier this year, Holly gave an insight into her past years at Glastonbury as she revealed she spent one night scrubbing a toilet at the festival. She shared the story of a toilet clean-up fiasco on The Graham Norton Show in February, where she was joined by music icon Sir Elton John. She explained how, after watching Elton's headline performance at Glastonbury 2024, she found herself in the festival's infamous, long toilet queues. When she finally entered a cubicle, she was met with a grim sight. Holly said: 'I was there and was having the time of my life. You [Elton] were incredible. Everyone knew you were going to be amazing but honestly it was magic. 'Everyone was singing and it was like the crowd was moving as one, I'd never seen anything like it.' She added: 'Elton was the highlight, but then everyone moved towards the loos. After his set, the loos were chaos. It was disgusting, but when you've got to go you've got to go. 'I was standing on the loo – you would not want to sit down – and I thought, "Oh my god, when I come out of here, whoever comes in next will think that was me so I can't leave that." 'I've always got a bag of wet wipes on me, so I cleaned that loo until it was spotless. It was perfect. I was back down to earth with a bump after Elton.'

UK told to prepare for war – Martin Lewis reveals emergency kit essentials

The UK government has warned that we must now be on a war footing — and consumer expert Martin Lewis says preparing for power cuts and disruption is just common sense. In a stark new national security strategy, ministers have said that the UK should "actively prepare for the possibility of the UK coming under direct threat, potentially in a wartime scenario". The report also warned of rising cyber attacks, biological threats and attacks on critical infrastructure, adding that hostile powers are already trying to stoke division and spread misinformation. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad The 2025 warning came just weeks after Martin Lewis said he was urging families to stock up on basics that would keep them safe during a power outage or supply chain failure — not out of fear, but because they are sensible precautions. Appearing on This Morning in May after widespread Spanish blackouts, he said: 'A torch and some spare batteries in your house, because we get power cuts for normal reasons – floods and weather incidents.' 'A bit of tinned food, a little bit of water always kept stocked up is useful.' 'A wind-up radio.' 'A power bank to charge your mobile phone – fully charged in your house – because that gives you a torch, a radio, and communication.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad With the UK's new national strategy calling for an 'all-of-society effort' to become more secure and resilient, many families are already building up home emergency kits. These aren't about panic – they're about peace of mind, making sure you can cope for a few days without water, electricity or access to shops or services. Here's a basic emergency checklist based on UK government and British Red Cross guidance, with product links to help you source each item: The Red Cross also recommends keeping these items in one place, ideally near your front door or in a grab-and-go bag. For maximum convenience, you can also buy a ready-made 72-hour emergency kit for £241, including food, water, gloves, a first aid kit and torch — ideal to throw in the boot of your car or store at home. The government's wider strategy includes a major investment in border security, shipbuilding and AI development, as well as a new £1bn programme to establish national biosecurity centres across the UK. Ministers say these measures are a response to rising threats from countries like Russia and Iran, and efforts to protect the UK's energy supply and communications networks from disruption. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Martin Lewis was clear that his advice wasn't about stoking fear: 'None of these will ever be needed either. But it isn't unsensible to have those things.' The message is clear: don't panic – but do prepare. ⛱️ How to get airport lounge access from just £11 – without flying business class ✈️ You don't need a premium ticket to enjoy a quieter, more comfortable airport experience.

This Morning's Alison Hammond announces break as she details exhaustion
This Morning star Alison Hammond appeared on the ITV show on Friday, where she opened up about taking a step back from one aspect of her career after being left 'exhausted'. On the recent episode of This Morning, TV personality Alison Hammond disclosed that she would be taking a hiatus from one element of her career. Chatting with Alexandra Burke and Lesley Joseph about their upcoming musical stint in The Addams Family, the host delved into how performing live can take its toll. Alexandra opened up about the intense schedule of touring, noting that performers can face eight to 12 shows weekly. She remarked: "You don't really get a life outside of it, but that's ok because you're entertaining other people." Lesley brought attention to Alison by saying: "We're looking at the panto Queen! Birmingham. Three panto Queens sitting on the sofa." To this, Alison confessed: "But the thing is, you've been doing it year after year. I'm having a year off because I was so exhausted from last year and the year before. It is a discipline." Lesley went on to express her love for the theatre and stressed the significance of pantomime in entertainment, reports Wales Online. She said: "The whole family comes and it's the one time in the year that anybody, grandma down to the youngest children can come and really love it. You know, you've done it now." Alison acknowledged this, reflecting on how the cast becomes akin to a secondary family due to the extensive time spent together. Previously, Alison impressed audiences as the Magical Mermaid in Peter Pan at Birmingham's Hippodrome Theatre, also sharing moments with This Morning viewers before gracing the stage. Wearing her costume, Alison shared her highlight of being in the play last year, at the time she said: "Do you remember last year when lovely Dermot (O'Leary) and the whole team brought me a wonderful chair with the plaque of my mum's name on it? "It's dead centre in the middle of the stage and literally, it's like I'm performing to my mum. It means the world to me, it's beautiful. It's lovely to be back. "I look at the person (in the seat, the person thinks I'm looking at them, I'm not! I'm seeing my mum!" Alison's mum, Maria, sadly died from lung and liver cancer in January 2020, and her father Clifford died just months later.
