Ollie Locke enjoys family day out with twins after son’s ‘horrific’ operation
OLLIE Locke enjoyed a family day out this weekend after an ‘incredibly difficult’ time.
The star headed to the Magical Holiday Event held at the Disney Store in London alongside husband Gareth and their twins Opollo and Cosima.
It is the first time they have been seen after revealing Opollo had to undergo surgery – leaving the couple devastated.
The Made In Chelsea star didn’t reveal what was wrong with the little one, who was born in July 2023, but thanked the NHS for their help.
He explained last week: “We’ve been a little quiet over the last few weeks after our little Apollo had an operation.
“To any parents out there who have experienced this, I’m sure you know how tough it is. He is on the mend and back smiling thanks to the amazing NHS doctors at Chelsea and Westminster who we couldn’t be more thankful for xx”
He added: “When you go through something like that as a parent, it’s probably the most horrific thing.”
But Ollie and Gareth put the upset behind them to attend the festive bash and were seen having fun as they checked out the Disney Holiday and Moana 2 collections.
Speaking at the store, he said: “This has been such a brilliant day for the whole family. Disney Store has brought the festive spirit alive with so many wonderful activities for the kids.
“The new holiday product range has truly inspired me with its attention to detail and creativity—Disney Store has really thought of everything to make this season magical!”
The reality star was joined at the bash by Michelle Heaton with her family, Ryan Libbey with his son Leo and Zara McDermott, as well as Laura Whitmore and husband Iain Stirling.
Laura, who was joined by her daughter, said: “We are a big fan of Disney in our house so no better way to kick start the festive season than at Disney Store’s Magical Holiday Event.
“It was absolute Magic and seeing all the new fab products is creating a lot of excitement – especially those from the new Moana 2 film!”
Former Wimbledon star Eugenie Bouchard wears crotchless trousers and bikini top as she dresses as pop icon
EUGENIE BOUCHARD rolled back the years with a homage to a pop icon for Halloween.
The former Wimbledon finalist took to Instagram to share some snaps of her costume for the spooky holiday.
Bouchard, 30, recreated an iconic look from pop sensation Christina Aguilera.
The tennis star donned some leather chaps and a bikini, copying Aguilera’s look from her 2002 music video for hit song ‘Dirrty’.
Bouchard shared the post to her 2.3MILLION Instagram followers, sending her adoring fans wild.
In the comments on the photo, one fan wrote: “That costume is superb Genie!”
While another added: “Nicely done!!!”
A third gushed: “Wow! You pull it off better than Christina!”
And a fourth commented: “Okay! That is my favourite”.
While Bouchard made a joke of her own in the caption of the post, writing “Genie in a bottle”, as a reference to another Christina Aguilera song.
The Candian star has had some fun playing dress up for Halloween with her popstar outfit her fourth costume of the season.
She also dressed up as a cow, a landscape gardener and iconic movie character Cher from the 90’s film ‘Clueless’.
Bouchard’s tennis career saw her reach a record high of world no.5, as well as representing Canada at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio.
But the star has since turned her attention to growing sport pickleball and a career in modelling.
Take a peek at Eugenie Bouchard’s other Halloween outfits…
Tennis stars’ new careers
PLENTY of tennis stars have stayed involved in the sport since retiring.
But others pursued very different careers. Here are some of the best…
- I reached French Open and Wimbledon finals as a teenager but I quit to become a nun
- I won Wimbledon mixed doubles with my sister but got fed up with English weather so now run luxury B&B
- I was tipped for stardom aged 12 but retrained to become high-flying lawyer
- I earned £9m and won French Open before setting up bistro with Brazilian model girlfriend
- I’m last Frenchman to win Roland Garros, now I’m singer with six albums hitting No1 in charts
- I’m former world No1 but quit aged 29 – instead I went on to play professional poker and golf
- I was destined for the top but swapped lobs for labs as award-winning Harvard physicist
Jag dubbed ‘one that got away’ FINALLY put into production 9 years after starring in Bond film – but there’s a catch
A JAGUAR sports car that was first seen over 10 years ago but was never put into production has finally been made road legal.
The elusive motor made its first appearance at the 2010 Paris Motor Show and even featured in a famous scene in a James Bond film – but was never made available for wealthy petrolheads to buy.
Driving the stunning C-X75 model has been the stuff of mere fantasy for over a decade after Jag refused to mass produce the supercar.
Only four were built as stunt cars for the 2015 Bond film Spectre, with one driven by villain Mr Hinx, played by Dave Bautista, in a memorable on-screen car chase.
These motors boasted a supercharged 5.0-litre V8 engine – rather than the twin-charged and hybridised 1.6-litre that the supercar was originally set to use – and all reportedly were snapped up by collectors.
But one such example has now been thoroughly modified to pass vehicle approval test for use on the road in a one-of-a-kind commission.
Worked on by the car’s original designer, Ian Callum, along with his engineering consultancy firm, aptly named CALLUM, the car now functions in much the same way it would have had if it made it to production.
Callum said: “C-X75 was the one that got away – a car brimming with unfulfilled potential.
“We’ve combined the customer’s wishes with carefully engineered solutions to bring C-X75 to the thoroughly satisfying conclusion it always deserved.”
Changes to the car are said to include a re-engineered drivetrain, active aero, and a new interior which improves the driving experience.
The car has also undergone a number of visual changes compared to the stunt car, including a blend of dark green and cream materials, while its cabin now boasts a digital instrument cluster and a roof-mounted console, along with a centre console and integrated touchscreens.
There’s even a digital rear-view mirror, and an electronic parking brake integrated with the transmission.
On the outside, the car’s bodywork has been repainted to a very fetching Willow Green.
The project’s engineering director Adam Donafresco said: “Integrating features including air-con and premium audio while also balancing the [noise, vibration and harshness], refinement and hygiene factors such as engineering the door seals to keep the elements out, all while ensuring it still sounded mega, was a formidable but thrilling challenge.”
Unfortunately, the catch for car fans is that it does appear the C-X75’s timeline could finally be concluded, as there is no further hint that the car will be mass-produced in the future.
Upon its initial unveiling as a concept car, the C-X75 was earmarked for an expected £1million price tag at a time when the world was in the midst of a global recession.
However, Jaguar were able to get some use from the failed C-X75 project, having later used some of the tech developed for the car in future models.
Indeed, the F-Type and the I-Pace were heavily influenced by the C-X75, with the two Jaguars using many design cues and tech features from it.
This comes as Jaguar are currently going through a mighty transitional phase, having officially halted production of all their cars after discontinuing five models this year – including the two mentioned above.
The famous British car brand announced earlier this year that they won’t sell any new cars in the UK for an entire year.
Dealers will now only have used cars and Land Rovers in stock until 2026, with their future models to be announced in 2025.
Elsewhere, a car expert has revealed how he managed to buy the cheapest James Bond car ever at just £750.
Cillian Murphy bloodied and bruised as he films Peaky Blinders as Tommy Shelby in Birmingham
CILLIAN Murphy looked bloodied and bruised as he filmed scenes for the new Peaky Blinders movie.
The Oscar-winning actor is set to reprise his beloved role of Tommy Shelby.
Cillian Murphy, 48, was all smiles in between takes as he was dressed in the signature look.
The movie instalment in the fan-favourite franchise began production in Birmingham back in October.
Now, shooting seems to be in full swing on the forthcoming Peaky Blinders project as the crew are hard at work making the film.
The Oppenheimer star was in full getup, complete with a long and dusty coat and black leather gloves.
This was along with Tommy’s signature flat cap as his face was covered in dirt and blood.
Underneath, the Irish actor wore a suave waistcoat and even a tie, both completely drenched in mud and soot.
In another snap, his character is seen riding a horse through the crime-ridden streets.
Mission Impossible and The Greatest Showman star Rebecca Ferguson was also announced to join the franchise.
She was seen on set looking ghostly in a long leather trench coat and black boots as she sported a jet black wig.
The pair both seemed to be in a jovial mood as Cillian was pictured beaming in between takes.
This comes after Saltburn star Barry Keoghan was spotted on set for the first time.
He joined the cast in a mysterious new role, but it would appear that his character may forge close ties with the Shelby family.
With the tell-tale flat cap, Barry looked like he fit right in with the period gangster operation.
The actor kept a low profile as he shot a scene with Sophie Rundle, who plays Shelby sister Ada Thorne.
Peaky Blinders series guide
Series One (2013)
The series started in 1919 just after the end of World War I. The ambitious Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy) runs the Peaky Blinders street gang. They attract attention from Royal Irish police detective chief inspector Major Chester Campbell (Sam Neil). He’s been sent by Winston Churchill (Andy Nyman) from Belfast. He has been given the task to crack down on the Irish Republicans and the Communist Party. It ended on “Black Star Day” at the Worcester Races as the gang tried to take over Billy Kimber’s betting pitches.
Series Two (2014)
The series begins in 1921 and culminates with a huge climax in May 1922 at the Epsom racecourse on Derby Day. The Peaky Blinders try to expand their criminal organisation in the “South and North” of the city. This is while they maintain their stronghold in their Birmingham ‘heartland’.
Series Three (2016)
In 1924, Tommy and the gang once again look to expand their operations, but this time they want to go international. Father John Hughes (Paddy Considine) is involved in an anti-communist organization, whilst Polly (Helen McCrory) enlists Ruben Oliver (Alexander Siddig) to paint her portrait.
Series Four (2017)
Christmas Eve 1925 is when the fourth series kicks off. The gang receives word that the leader New York Mafia, Luca Changretta (Adrien Brody), wants to avenge his father’s murder that was committed in series three. At the end of the instalment, Tommy becomes elected as a Member of Parliament in 1927 after the general strike of the previous year. This is after he used communist leader Jessie Eden for information.
Series Five (2019)
The hit series became so popular that it switched over to BBC One. It’s the morning after Black Tuesday and the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and the Great Depression looms large. Tommy faces new dangers as he is warned that there’s a traitor in his circle. However, his plan for fascist leader Sir Oswald Mosley (Sam Claflin) springs into action. Meanwhile, Ada Shelby (Sophie Rundle) embarks on a romance with Colonel Ben Younger (Kingsley Ben-Adir), who happens to be Tommy’s contact from the British Intelligence. She quickly falls pregnant with his baby before he is dramatically killed by a car bomb.
Series Six (2022)
The sixth and final series of the show starts in 1933, just as the US repeals the prohibition. Tommy is set with more danger as Mosley grows the British Union of Fascists after the Nazis seize power in Germany. However, events get complicated as he also has to deal with plots from both the Irish Mob and the Anti-Treaty IRA.
At the end of the sixth series, Ada took over the operation after Tommy fled for a new life.
This was after he was tricked into believing that he was dying of a brain tumour.
