Will ancient graveyard bury Richard E Grant’s pool plans?
In reflecting on these diverse stories, I am struck by the resilience and adaptability of human spirit. From Fred Dinenage’s unexpected friendship with the Kray twins to Betty Boo’s transition from pop stardom to tennis coaching, it is clear that life often takes us in directions we could never have imagined.
One story that particularly stands out for me is that of Nadiya Bychkova, the Strictly Come Dancing star who, despite being eliminated early in the competition, seems undeterred and is enjoying a winter fairytale in Slovenia with her daughter. As someone who has also navigated the ups and downs of the dance world, I can empathize with Nadiya’s determination to keep moving forward, even when faced with adversity.
On a lighter note, it seems that Fred Dinenage may have missed out on his farmhouse in Morocco with the Krays, but he certainly found a way to make a name for himself. I can just imagine him now, sipping tea and reminiscing about those days, all while penning his memoirs or perhaps even dabbling in a spot of tennis coaching!
After all, as they say, when one door closes, another one opens… and sometimes, it leads to a hot tub in the snow!
He charmed children attending the festive service at Westminster Abbey, which was hosted by the Princess of Wales, through his usual lively and vibrant narration from A Christmas Carol.
Despite Richard E Grant’s intentions to build a pool house at his Georgian residence in south-west London, there are concerns that he might express disappointment, similar to Scrooge in “A Christmas Carol,” due to the project’s potential issues.
67-year-old actor renowned from “Withnail and I” expresses his desire to tear down a garage and cut down trees in order to build a timber pool house and greenhouse.
He abandoned his initial proposals because the local council disagreed with the removal of the cypress trees, and based on historical significance concerns.
However, the actor has revived his application for planning approval on his £5.7 million, 18th-century residence in Richmond, even though there are concerns that his actions might disrupt an old burial ground.
The five-bedroom house he owns, which is listed as Grade II, sits beside an ancient 12th-century church, where the famous explorer Captain George Vancouver was laid to rest.
In their report, the archaeologists indicated a possibility of finding ancient artifacts or structures at the site.
Additionally, there might be archaeological artifacts hinting at the church’s grounds possibly being utilized for other purposes historically.
This might uncover buried remains from an era we haven’t discovered yet, which are likely to be from the Middle Ages or later periods.
Officials at Richmond Council are expected to make a decision next month.
In the design statement, Grant’s planner expressed that Mr. Grant is eager to implement modifications to improve his experience in this location.
‘The applicant wants to ensure that the finished project must be high quality.
Mr. Grant is equally concerned about establishing a structure that doesn’t disregard or deviate from the existing architectural design.
Ringo: Drugs made fab four just drab
As a devoted admirer, I firmly believe that abstaining from alcohol and illicit substances during their recording sessions was one of The Beatles’ (the Fab Four) hidden keys to achieving their remarkable success.
‘We realised, ‘We’re working here’, you know, we’re not partying
down while doing the tracks,’ the drummer insists.
At times when they gave in to temptation at Abbey Road studios, Ringo Starr candidly acknowledges: ‘On rare occasions, we would do that, and the result was never great.’
Miranda reveals poignant detail of her big day
Miranda Hart delighted fans when she disclosed that she had got married in secret at 52.
However, the actress from Call The Midwife didn’t disclose any specifics regarding her wedding or her spouse, who was later identified as Richard Fairs, aged 60, and is a surveyor by profession.
In a recent event I attended, the atmosphere was electrifying as the guests unexpectedly broke into a rendition of the timeless tune “Climb Every Mountain” from The Sound of Music, right in the midst of the ceremony.
She shared on the Radio 3 program Private Passions (airing this Sunday) that we sang the tune at our intimate wedding. At first, there was hesitation: ‘Are we actually going to do this? It seems so cheesy.’ However, as soon as everyone began singing, emotions ran high and everyone gave their all to the song’s captivating melody.
She remarks: ‘Now it brings tears to my eyes and reminds me of the most blissful day in my life. It evokes memories of my recent wedding, something I never thought would happen, as well as the younger me with dreams and aspirations. After all, I’ve always been a dreamer. It’s incredibly emotional.’
Traumatic end to 2024 for model Sophia Peschisolido
2024 saw a distressing conclusion for model Sophia Peschisolido, daughter of The Apprentice celebrity Baroness Brady, as her nine-month-old child experienced a high fever reaching 104F.
‘Spending New Year’s Eve in hospital with our poorly little man,’ Sophia, 28, reveals online.
‘His skin was boiling, but his hands were cold. Everything online said it was meningitis.’
Sophia, fiancée of investment advisor Frankie Makin, expresses: “He’s doing better now that his fever has subsided. We’re thankful.
Fred Dinenage’s unlikely friendship
If the surprising bond between Fred Dinenage and his friend hadn’t abruptly ceased, it is certain that his life would have taken a significantly different course.
83-year-old broadcaster formed a strong bond with infamous Kray twins, who selected him to pen an exposé memoir detailing their reign of terror over London’s criminal underworld.
Fred shared with me that he often received invitations to discuss the project at the prison, and it was primarily Ronnie he interacted with. Contrary to his tough image, Ronnie turned out to be quite amiable.
Afterward, I learned that his grand scheme involved constructing three farmhouses in Morocco – one for him, one for his brother Reggie, and one intended for me.
However, both Krays died of ill-health in their 60s.
Eighties pop star launches new career as tennis coach
Eighties pop singer Betty Boo is launching a new career as a tennis coach.
I’ve earned my Lawn Tennis Association certification and currently serve as an assistant coach.
54-year-old Alison Clarkson, also known by her stage name Do, achieved significant fame as a songwriter for bands such as Hear’ Say and Girls Aloud, using her actual name.
She mentions that she plays each morning and enjoys it immensely. She further expresses that it’s rejuvenating for one’s spirit to engage in this activity.
I understand that her baseline game is particularly strong…
Strictly star cha-cha-chills in the snow
Nadiya Bychkova and her famous swimming companion, Tom Dean, became the initial pair to exit Strictly Come Dancing. However, her resolve is unmistakable as she aims to prove she’s got plenty of talent and charm.
A 35-year-old Ukrainian dancer posted a picture of herself taking a dip in a steaming hot tub amid the frosty landscape of Slovenia, with temperatures dropping well below zero degrees.
Mila, her eight-year-old daughter, is accompanying her on a vacation. Matija Skarabot, a football player, who hails from an Eastern European nation, is Mila’s father.
Nadiya remarks alongside the picture she posted online, “My winter storybook scene in Slovenia.
