Insta Creep: Iain Stirling And Laura Whitmore Have Gone On Safari Post-Winter Love Island…
What all the celebs are up to on social, from A to Z listers.
In our gossip column, we indulge our nosiest desires and delve deep into what the celebs (and ‘celebs’) are doing on social media. Who’s tweeting and deleting? Who’s shady faving? Let’s find out.
Florence Pugh made marmalade on Instagram, and of course Paddington wanted in.
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again, but Florence’s Instagram Stories are regularly delightful – she chats through making ice cream and cocktails in her gloriously spacious kitchen, usually with no makeup on and her hair in a messy bun.
Yesterday, she decided to try her hand at making marmalade, to great success:
Her work attracted the attention of one Paddington Bear, who enquired on Twitter about the possibility of Florence sharing her spare jar with a friend (meaning him, of course). She was only too happy to invite him over for sandwiches.
Dear Ms Pugh, that's a lovely idea. I will bring some of the marmalade Mrs Bird and I made last week so that we don't use all of yours up. Thank you.

Why is this SO cute? Florence for Paddington 3, please.
Iain Stirling and Laura Whitmore have taken themselves off on a well-deserved holiday post-Winter Love Island.
The couple have had a rough few weeks carrying on in their respective roles on the show following the death of their friend, Caroline Flack.
Laura and Iain decided to make the most of being in South Africa and headed off on safari, spotting lions, zebras, and rhinos:
Laura also celebrated reaching one million followers on Instagram, promising to use her platform to “promote positivity”. Enjoy your relaxing break, you two.
Robbie Williams’ wife Ayda has shared the first video of their newborn son, who recently arrived via surrogate.
Beau Benedict Enthoven Williams (a big name) is the couple’s fourth child, and a little brother to Theodora Rose (7), Charlton Valentine (5), and Colette Josephine (2).
“As with Coco, he is biologically ours, but born via our same incredible surrogate,” Ayda said after the birth. “We are so blessed to have our healthy son safely in our arms and are officially complete as a family.”
What a sweet little clip. Who could have foreseen in 2000 that in 20 years’ time Robbie Williams would be a father of four? Not us.
And now it’s time for… #WilloughbyWatch
Charting the public’s obsession with what Holly Willoughby is wearing.
This morning on This Morning, Holly Willoughby is wearing… an unusually dull outfit? Like, black pants and a white shirt? Not even a wee belt to jazz it up? We’re confused. The shirt is from Zara (we believe it’s this one, which is €25.95) and the trousers are by J Crew (probably these, which are less affordable at £100). Her fans are enraptured by this look, which is probably because yesterday…
…She threw ’em a curveball with this! To be fair, it’s just a regular Holly dress with the addition of a strangely large collar – if you’re into it, it’s by Ghost and it’s £89. Hol’s followers were, however, not into it at all, levelling the usual criticisms of her looking like a ‘granny’. WHOSE granny, though? Not ours. They literally just want her to wear those black pants and white shirt every day. Where’s your sense of fun, guys.
