A MARRIED At First Sight honeymoon takes a disastrous turn tonight when a bride piles on the pressure days after her wedding.
Reiss and Leisha walked down the aisle on the E4 show last week.

But the painter and decorator, and dental industry marketeer failed to click.
They got off to a bad start at the reception when Leisha pummelled him with questions about his life.
In a preview clip for tonight’s show, Leisha and Reiss fail to see eye-to-eye again as they discuss what the future holds for them.
During a boat trip, Leisha asks her husband: “Do you visualise me in your future?”
But her need for reassurance doesn’t go down well.
An annoyed Reiss throws an epic strop and responds: “I can’t cope! You’re too much.
“I don’t need pressure yet, it’s so early.
“I don’t like it. I know you’re saying you want to see the real me you aint going to find that out over night.
“You know I’m a closed book. If you’re constantly pressuring me you’re just going to keep me closed.”
Leisha replied: “It’s just the lack of questions, it makes me feel you don’t really care about me.
“I know you fancy me. Do you want to know are we going to have a future together.”
He replied: “You want to know do I want a wife, to have kids, to settle down. Yes, yes, yes.”
He then dealt the hammer blow, adding: “I don’t know if that’s what I want with you after knowing you three days.”
Speaking to the camera away from his wife, he later vented: “I can’t believe Leisha just ask me that, is she joking?! F hell.”
AWKWARD RECEPTION
After the pair exchanged their wedding rings and said their vows, the registrar declared: “Leisha and Reiss, it’s my huge pleasure to proudly announce you husband and wife.”
The new couple awkwardly leaned in for two kisses on the cheek before stepping back from one another.
Their guests looked on with confused looks on their faces as they clapped for the pair.

“They’re truly lifting me higher. The fire this setback has lit inside me is unmatched.
“The journey definitely doesn’t stop here, this is just the beginning of a stronger, hungrier version of me. The comeback will be beautiful.”

The Abi Webster actress looked glam as she uploaded a series of snaps from hers and Joe’s loved-up getaway.
Joe, who plays Tim Metcalfe, could be seen beaming alongside his proud wife in one of the couple’s shots from the getaway.
Sally simply captioned the snaps with: “Santorini sun.”
It appeared to be no expense spared as Sally shared a photo of the pool at their resort which overlooked the sea and featured a floating bed in the middle of the water.
In another candid snap, Sally looked the picture of happiness as she sipped on a cocktail through a straw as she enjoying a sunset tipple.
She wore a leopard-print headband in the picture and kept her make-up simple.
In one of the other photos, Sally could be seen laid by the front of a boat wrapped in blankets as it appeared she had taken a tumble.
Their Corrie co-star Samia Longchambon commented on the snaps: “Gorgeous every bit”
Another fan added: “Lovely photo of you Sally. Enjoy yourself.”
As fellow soap actress Sue Devaney added: “Oooooooh I want to hug you in all that there cuteness of yours!!

While the duo presented the gong for Best Reality Competition, he couldn’t resist another look before telling Liz: “How marvellous it is that you are defying Newton’s Law of Physics. Well done to you!”
The Good Morning Britain star’s cheeky comment went down well, with the audience erupting into laughter.

Outspoken Piers Morgan was caught sneaking a peek down Susanna Reid‘s top while presenting GMB back in 2016.
The presenter was admiring her purple dress, which had a cheeky slit down the front.
Piers quickly realised he’d put his foot in it, admitting: “I was just admiring my co-presenter.
“The camera caught me at a difficult moment… I looked over and looked down and before I knew it…”
He wasn’t the only person to appreciate Susanna’s low cut dress that day, with many viewers praising how she looked.

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, 40, landed himself in hot water when he was caught staring at fellow tech billionaire Jeff Bezos‘s fiancée’s chest.
The married social media magnate was snapped ogling Lauren Sanchez at President Trump’s inauguration in January this year – while her partner, 61, was stood right next to her.
Lauren, 55, hit headlines for her racy outfit at the swearing in, and it was later revealed her lingerie-style top was a $1,800 Alexander McQueen satin-trimmed bustier.
Mark – who wed Priscilla Chan, 40, in 2012 – raised more eyebrows less than 24 hours later when he ‘liked’ a photo of Lauren’s cleavage on her Instagram.
Fans were quick to mock the Meta founder, with one asking: “Will Zuck lose his Amazon Prime membership?”

Simon Cowell, 65, clearly thought his Britain’s Got Talent co-host had talent(s) when he accompanied her to the British Academy Television Awards in 2010.
Amanda Holden, 54, had opted for a strapless gown, and Simon – who was at the time engaged to make-up artist Mezhgan Hussainy, 52 – couldn’t resist a glance at her bust.
The music mogul’s unfortunate moment was caught on camera – from multiple angles.
Though Amanda’s silver and white gown was fairly tame compared to the daring outfits she worn in more recent years.

It’s not just the famous blokes who appreciate the female form – in these amusing shots TV host Ellen DeGeneres, 67, was caught having a good inspection of Katy Perry’s boobs.
The women were at the Grammy Awards in 2013 when the talk show host was pictured ogling the I Kissed A Girl singer.
Standing arm in arm with her wife Portia de Rossi, 52, Ellen wasn’t shy about sharing her admiration.
Portia appeared to be find her spouse’s antics hilarious, while Ellen tweeted the photo with a birthday message for Katy captioned: “Happy birthday, @KatyPerry! It’s time to bring out the big balloons!”
It didn’t go down too well with fans, with some accusing Ellen of double standards, pointing out if it was a man who made the joke it would be seen as sexist.

During filming Anne revealed that her co-star – then married to his now ex-wife Kate Tucci – had become obsessed with her breasts, and he was even spotted having a sly look down her plunging black dress while promoting the film.
Anne joked that Stanley kept elbowing her in the boobs, leading him to reportedly joke that she should stop “flinging those melons around like it’s harvest season”.
The joke doesn’t seem to have bothered either party as they’ve remained bosom buddies and are currently filming The Devil Wears Prada 2.
The main hosts for the show will return to our screens on September 1 while Alison and Dermot will be back hosting on Fridays from September 5. In the promo, Alison told Cat that she “hasn’t changed” while she added about Dermot’s sweet snap: “Ain’t he lovely?” Their childhood photos are lined up under their initials – A, B, C and D.
Ben and Cat have been on a summer break while Emma Willis, Andi Peters, Sian Welby and Rochelle Humes have been guest-hosting for the stars.

“But do you know the last time I saw you? You were picking up a little BAFTA.”
“Oh, yes, it was,” Rylan laughed as he recalled, “I think we’d both had a little beverage that night, and I just remember strolling out and I said, ‘Jose, I’ve got to go bed’.”
“You sneaked out,” Josie chimed in as Rylan continued: “I did a sly exit.”
“Is that your first BAFTA?” Josie asked before adding, “I am so proud of you.” Cat’s return to This Morning comes after her shock split from husband Patrick Kielty.
This Morning host Cat and Irish comedian, 54, and who share sons Milo, seven, and James, five, revealed last month that they had taken the decision to end their 13 year marriage, stressing that ‘no other party’ was involved.
The former couple shared a joint statement on July 29 that read: “We have taken the decision to end our marriage and are now separated. There is no other party involved. We will continue to be united as loving parents to our children and would therefore kindly ask for our family privacy to be respected. There will be no further comment.”

LOVE Island’s Harry Cooksley has shared a new string of loved-up snaps with Shakira Khan after fans started questioning where she was.
The couple, who were runners up on this year’s series, have been kept busy since returning from the villa – becoming in demand for interviews and magazine shoots.

However, after a series of posts on TikTok and Instagram where Shakira wasn’t mentioned, fans feared they may have split.
Now Harry has cleared things up with a string of what he’s been up to lately – with a loved up snap with Shakira taking centre stage.
In the photo, the couple are seen at dinner taking a selfie with their tongues touching as they poke them out for the pic.
Another saw Shakira sitting on Harry’s lap while on a date night, with Harry having a protective arm around her as they pulled faces for the camera.
He captioned the pics: “Embracing this silly life 🤪”
The string of pics – which included Harry taking mirror selfies, deep in interviews and posing with winner Cach Mercer, came to the delight of fans who were wanting updates.
Soon Islanders past and present were also getting involved, with Dami Hope, who appeared in the 2022 summer season, writing: “You’re doing amazing sweetie x”
“You are a lucky guy to have Shakira ❤️🙌👍🏻” wrote another fan, to which Harry responded, “Very”.
“Love is sweet” said a third, prompting Harry to reply “So Sweet”.
Harry and Shakira placed second on this year’s finale, being beaten by Cach and American islander Toni Laites.

He later clarified his comments, explaining that he “didn’t understand what exclusive meant” away from the confines of the villa, where bombshells were thrown in to tempt islanders away from their current couple.
Appearing on Joe Baggs’ Not My Bagg podcast, Harry explained why he didn’t decide to put that label on the pair – and doesn’t ever plan to.
“I’m not here for like, ‘Oh, we’re exclusive’, or making a big thing out of being exclusive,” he said. “The thing for us would be boyfriend and girlfriend.
“Obviously, we’re not there yet but when it comes. It was never going to be ‘Do you want to be exclusive?’”
“I think that goes without saying, from my side, at least, I only have eyes for her after I got back with her in the villa, and now on the outside world, it’s the same thing.
“I’ve got no interest in anyone else.”

Rams coach Sean McVay will evaluate roster hopefuls on Saturday when the Rams play the Chargers in a preseason game at SoFi Stadium.
But as was the case last week when the Rams played the Dallas Cowboys, the most important evaluation will occur hours before kickoff at the Rams’ Woodland Hills training facility.
And McVay and the Rams are hopeful that the aftermath of the session will be better than the last.
According to McVay, during Stafford’s first throwing session, the 17th-year pro looked “awesome.”
That’s not how Stafford — or the Rams — felt in the days that followed: Stafford did not begin practicing as scheduled.
There are still three weeks remaining before the Sept. 7 opener against the Houston Texans at SoFi Stadium. So there is still plenty of time for one of the NFL’s most experienced players to prepare for the opener and the 16 games that will follow.
A painless recovery from Saturday’s workout would be a start.
Here are five things to watch during Saturday’s game:
Will the Rams neutralize Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert?
Since McVay does not play starters or other significant players during preseason games, that means drafted rookies and others hoping to make an impression will get the opportunity to do so against frontline players for several snaps.
Rams rookie linebacker Chris “Pooh” Paul is expected to again call defensive signals, and rookie edge rusher Josaiah Stewart is aiming for his second sack.
Cornerbacks Derion Kendrick, Shaun Jolly, Josh Wallace and Cam Lampkin could go against veteran receiver Kennan Allen.
Can quarterback Stetson Bennett continue to play with efficiency?
Rams quarterback Stetson Bennett throws a pass to wide receiver Britain Covey at SoFi Stadium on Aug. 9.
Bennett does not have to be spectacular to give McVay at least some confidence that he could manage the offense if Stafford does not recover from his back issue and if veteran Jimmy Garoppolo suffers an injury.
Bennett’s renewed confidence was evident during training camp and against the Cowboys. It was on full display when, after dumping a third-down pass rather than forcing it, he came back on fourth down and connected with receiver Xavier Smith for a long gain.
Is Cody Schrader on track to make the running back rotation?

It is clear that McVay wants to see how Blake Corum and rookie Jarquez Hunter would fit as back-ups for starter Kyren Williams.
And with veteran Ronnie Rivers suffering a rib injury against the Cowboys, the door is open for Schrader to continue to impress.
Schrader rushed for a team-best 59 yards in five carries against the Cowboys and turned a pass reception into a nine-yard touchdown. He also played 13 special teams snaps.
Last season, the Rams claimed Schrader off waivers from the San Francisco 49ers at the end of training camp, and then kept him on the roster to prevent other teams from signing him off the practice squad.
Can receiver Xavier Smith lock down a spot?

On a certain level, it seems like a foregone conclusion.
Smith stepped up and performed in seemingly every opportunity as a special teams player and receiver last season. Now he is aiming to find a spot in a receiver group that includes Puka Nacua, Davante Adams, Tutu Atwell and Jordan Whittington.
Rookie receiver Konata Mumpfield got most of the compliments from coaches and players during training camp as Smith quietly built his case.
Mumpfield struggled in his first preseason game, but it would not be surprising if he makes adjustments and takes a big step against the Chargers.
How will Aubrey Pleasant handle head coach duties?

This is the second year in a row that McVay has given Pleasant, who oversees defensive backs and also holds the title of assistant head coach, the opportunity to be the head coach for a preseason game against the Chargers.
Pleasant will meet with game officials, handle pregame and halftime addresses to the team, oversee game management and handle postgame media responsibilities.

She seemed right at home in a new video, making bolognese in her modern kitchen before enjoying it in the open plan sitting area.
Settling in to watch And Just Like That on her wall-mounted TV, Maura rested her bowl of food on a beige pouffe that also housed a diffuser and scented candle.
The space includes matching sofas, a fluffy bean bag, throws and a black marble floor.
Maura, who is reportedly worth £3.2m, wrote on her Instagram account dedicated to the property: “I finally have sofas!!!!!! @rowenhomes I can not thank you enough for these beautiful Boucle Sofas….

“My first weekend cooking in my new home & having my first piece of furniture has made it so perfect and cosy.”
She added that all of the furniture had been gifted to her.
Her followers were impressed with the stylish set up, with one commenting: “It’s really looking like a lovely home. Well done Maura they’re nothing like the feeling of owning your own home.”
Another said: “It’s starting to look really cosy.”
A third wrote: “Wow! It looks gorgeous!”
Maura has dubbed her five-bedroom detached home in a gated development, Casa A’Maura after the second villa on the show Love Island.
Maura Higgins makes shock return to Love Island USA after she was ‘replaced’ during series
The TV star found fame on the series in 2019, alongside her best pal Molly-Mae Hague.
The 34-year-old’s new Instagram account has amassed over 70,000 followers and in her first post, Maura shared that she had finally moved into the new space.
The light-filled kitchen opens up seamlessly into the back garden with the help of bi-folding glass patio doors.
The large garden features both a patio and a lawn and is fenced all around with some guaranteed extra privacy guaranteed from the large bushes all around the properties.
It has two reception rooms and five “generously-sized” double bedrooms with one as a master bedroom that features an en-suite and custom-built wardrobes.
When she bought the property, Maura called it her “dream home” and also treated herself to a £60,000 Porsche too.
Her previous home was targeted by masked thieves, and the incident left Maura shaken.
A source said in 2023: “Neighbours caught it all on CCTV and it was chilling to see three masked men ram through the gates and start trying to break into cars.”

A TEACHER’S secret OnlyFans account was exposed by kids “excitedly” sharing the X-rated snaps around school.
Kirsty Buchan, also known as Jessica Jackrabbit x, was a staff member at Bannerman High School, in Glasgow, when she joined the adult platform.

A disciplinary hearing was told the mum-of-one’s profile was discovered by pupils in 2022 and reported to headteacher Seonaidh Black.
Pictures of Ms Buchan, 34, “posing in lingerie” were handed over by shocked students.
In her bio she admitted to being a “good teacher gone bad… really bad”.
The profile was also easily accessible, requiring no payment or sign up.
Ms Black told the hearing: “I was approached by some S5 and S6 boys, who were very excited.
“They were saying things like, ‘Have you heard the news’. I said something like ‘I don’t know what you’re talking about’ as I did not want to engage them in this kind of conversation.
“I was then told something like, ‘If you haven’t heard, when you do, you’re going to go ballistic. Look out for Jessica Jackrabbit’.
“As I came back into the building, at least two staff stopped to ask me if I knew about Kirsty. It was obvious at this point that everyone knew what was going on.”
Ms Buchan, who had originally been a pupil at the school before teaching there, did not attend the hearing.
In her absence, the headteacher described the OnlyFans model as a “teacher who wanted to do a good job”.

However there had been several occasions when she “was not always clear on boundaries”.
She told the panel she was referring to “having poor judgement” when it came to being open about sharing her social media with pupils.
One concerned mother had even contacted Ms Black and reported how her son left messages for Ms Buchan on her OnlyFans profile.
The 34-year-old quit her job shortly after her adult content platform was discovered.
She claimed to rake in £60,000 in just one month through her X-rated page.
Ms Buchan argued she signed up because she needed some extra cash after her wages decreased.
Ms Black added how “there’s still talk” about the ordeal now.
Hannah Oakley, who investigated the case for GTCS, told the hearing Ms Buchan did not “ensure that her profile picture and bio” was not accessible to those under 18.
The panel found all allegations to be proven and she was today struck off from the profession by the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTCS).
Panel member Mr Burton said she was unfit to teach and there was a “significant blurring of boundaries between her private life and her professional life”.
He added how she “used her profession in her bio as a selling tool”.
Mr Burton said Ms Buchan’s actions were “fundamentally incompatible with being a registered teacher”.
EastEnders icon Diane Parish took to social media over the weekend to share a fun-fuelled video of highlights from the 2025 British Soap Awards – which did not give away any of the winners

Diane Parish was in a celebratory mood on Saturday night as she joined her EastEnders castmates and headed to Hackney for the British Soap Awards 2025. The 55-year-old soap icon, famous for playing Denise Fox on the BBC show since 2006, had been on the long list for one of the show categories.
The star had been initially nominated for the Best Leading Performer gong, but did not advance to the second round of nominations for the prestigious award. Instead, EastEnders co-stars Lacey Turner and Kellie Bright were nominated for the gong alongside Emmerdale stars Beth Cordingly and Eden Taylor-Draper.
Diane gave fans a glimpse behind the scenes(Image: @officialdianeparish/Instagram)
With this in mind, Diane took to social media on Sunday to share her own highlights from the night, which did not give anything away. She shared a two-and-a-half-minute-long video from the celebrations, which included footage of her partying with fellow soap stars before, during and after the event.
Uploading the footage to her main grid, Diane wrote: “NO SPOILERS for those who don’t wanna know. But I am sooooo PROUD of everyone who works on @bbceastenders What a night!”
Diane, who plays Denise looked sensational(Image: @officialdianeparish/Instagram)
Clips showed her laughing and chatting with co-stars, encouraging members of the public in the live audience to cheer, spotlighting Anita Dobson in the crowd, and partying at the after party. Soap stars were thrown into a panic at the party, however, as the after-show venue was hit by a bomb hoax.
The event was held at London’s Hackney Town Hall after the main awards. But attendees were suddenly asked to leave the venue shortly before 1am after the event had reportedly received a bomb threat.
“We all got evacuated just before 1am. No reason was given at first and security came round and told us we had to leave immediately,” a source told The Mirror – recounting the nerves shredding experience.
She was seen posing with her co-stars(Image: @officialdianeparish/Instagram)
“As we all waited in the street outside, security told us there had been a bomb threat. We weren’t allowed back in the building so people started making their way home.”
In a video shared with The Mirror, some of TV’s biggest soap stars can be seen waiting outside the venue as more evacuate – with the likes of EastEnders’ Tameka Empson and former Hollyoaks star Emmett J Scanlan among them.
A show source also told The Mirror: “Owing to a security alert after the recording of the awards, it was necessary to evacuate the after party venue. Everyone was cleared from the building safely.”
Meanwhile, fans of soaps took to social media to slam ITV for failing to broadcast the event live – with many annoyed that they would have to wait until Thursday before being able to see who would take to the stage.
Taking to X to slam the delay in broadcast, one fan raged: “It’s ridiculous that the British Soap Awards isn’t live… there’s more hype for the soap stars arriving outside for something not even airing on tv for another week than there is the Britain’s Got Talent final… sort it out for next year please @itv.”
The British Soap Awards 2025 will be broadcast via ITV1 and ITVX on Thursday 5 June 2025 at 8pm.

In one snap, Colson could be seen on top of the Rovers Return as he perched out of the top window. He also tried to keep smiling while filming his death scene as he laid out on a crash mat.
Colson gave fans a sneaky look into the dressing room as he showed how he was covered in cuts and scars thanks to the makeup department.

Despite the harrowing scenes, the TV star managed to take selfies while covered in blood in-between shots, with one backstage and another on his hospital stretcher.
Colson even topped up his tan in his full police uniform while waiting for camera to get rolling on his murder scene.
Speaking to The Mirror and other press, actor Colson shared his true thoughts on his axing and his exit plot. He also shared the shocked reaction of others when they found out his news.
Colson told us: “I think Craig dying, and Craig dying in the line of duty as a copper, that kind of hero’s death was by far the most perfect story for the exit. The last few weeks were mint, they were perfect and it was a really nice way to go out.

“I worked with great people, and I feel very lucky, and I felt very confident in everything that we did. I feel like the story worked.” Colson revealed the moment he figured out he had been dropped from the show, before soap boss Kate had even spoken to him.
He explained: “I knew that Craig had backed himself into a corner that was going to be really hard to get out of, so I fully expected the chat to go that way.”
Colson admitted he wanted Craig to be killed off and wouldn’t accept any other way of leaving. “I would want to die, I would want the door to be shut, so then I can kind of know in my head that Corrie has been this, Corrie has done that, and it is now done, and Craig’s journey is over,” he said. “So in a really weird way, it was the right thing for me to be killed.”

He left a very telling comment under Chris’ Instagram post all about JoJo.
Ben wrote to his brother: “Nice to see a smile on your face.”
He followed it up with two blue love heart emojis as he appeared to throw his full support behind the budding connection.
It comes as JoJo gave Chris a shoutout live on stage in another moment which continues to fuel romance rumours.
During her latest gig, JoJo was singing the famous song Bette Davis Eyes.
In a VERY telling moment, JoJo could be seen looking to the side of the stage where Chris, who had previously been spotted backstage, was believed to be standing.
Instead of singing, “she’s got Betty Davis eyes”, the YouTube star sang; “Chris Hughes‘ eyes”.
The crowd could be then be heard cheering their approval.

The smitten star posted the clip on Instagram, and her fans went wild.
We look back at JoJo Siwa’s romance with Kath Ebbs:
JoJo Siwa went public with hers and Kath Ebbs’ relationship in January 2025.
The Dance Moms star had been introduced to 27-year-old Australian content creator Kath by a mutual friend called G-Flip six months earlier.
JoJo had split with her girlfriend Dakayla Wilson in November 2024 and it is believed she hooked up romantically with Kath soon after.
Speaking in March at the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, JoJo said of her relationship: “I am so happy. I am in a very mature relationship, and it’s beautiful. It’s taught me so much about life.
“It’s taught me so much about love and respect, and it’s a beautiful thing.
“It’s different in more ways than I can count. I wouldn’t even know what to say the biggest is ‘cause just everything is so different and special.”
Kath even claimed they had talked about marriage together.
However, JoJo’s romance with Kath abruptly hit the skids on April 25, 2025, at the Celebrity Big Brother wrap party.
JoJo dumped Kath at the bash after spending 19 days in the CBB house – where she had grown close to Love Island star Chris Hughes.

Watch as Vick Hope cradles ‘baby bump’ in new video
Calvin and Vick have a stunning 138-acre organic farm in Ibiza, known as Terra Masia.
The Spanish estate produces fruit, vegetables, eggs, and wine, and represents Harris’s shift from jet-set lifestyle to a more rural affair.
A source told The Sun in 2022: “Calvin employs an expert team, including farmers and chefs, but he’s also hands-on, regularly getting involved in planting and other farm activities. He’s truly passionate about the project.”
They also have a 10-acre estate in the Cotswolds, which Calvin purchased for £3.6m in 2019.
Over the last few years a bespoke new mansion has been built on the Oxfordshire site which will become the family’s primary residence.
Architect Ben Pentreath, a favourite of the royals, designed the property which will be completed this year.
A source told the Mail: ” There’s no expense spared and it’s going to be amazing.”
Vick shared her happy baby news live on Radio 1 today, telling Jamie Laing: “I should probably also say this is my final week before I go on maternity leave.”
Jamie told her: “You’re an amazing friend, an amazing person, and you’re just going to be an amazing mum,.”
She replied: “Oh, thank you.”
Vick and Calvin’s love story was a longtime coming, with its origins going back to 2007, when Calvin was in his ‘Acceptable in the ‘80s’ era.
He had a crush on BBC star Vick, but when he worked up the courage to ask her out, she rejected him.
She told You Magazine: “It’s something that we laughed about on our first proper date…
“We still laugh about it now.”
Vick later confessed on Capital Radio: “I went off with either Scouting for Girls or The Wombats. I don’t know which.
“I thought they were going to be bigger, but no, it turns out Calvin Harris was going to turn into an Adonis.”
Despite Calvin’s failed attempt at a date in the mid 2000s, he did eventually get the girl.
