Jenna Coleman appears to have quashed rumors that she is tying the knot after sliding her so-called 'wedding ring' onto her middle finger.

The 37-year-old actress has fans speculating whether she has secretly married boyfriend Jamie Childs after being spotted several times with a chunky gold band on her wedding finger.

However, on Thursday, Jenna was spotted in Covent Garden in London with the ring on her ring finger.

The Doctor Who star looked typically stylish in a yellow checked trench coat over a black leather maxi skirt.

She added a blue denim shirt and a pair of black loafers, while carrying a brown suede Chanel handbag.

The 37-year-old actress has fans speculating whether she has secretly married boyfriend Jamie Childs after being spotted several times with a chunky gold band on her wedding finger.

The 37-year-old actress has fans speculating whether she has secretly married boyfriend Jamie Childs after being spotted several times with a chunky gold band on her wedding finger.

As she strolled down the street, Jenna glimpsed her hand, revealing that she had removed the gold band from her fourth finger and moved it to a less indicative digit.

Last month, Jenna sparked speculation that she and Jamie, 35, had taken their relationship to the next level after spotting the ring on her wedding finger while walking with the director in North London.

The couple looked loved up as they walked hand in hand, with Jamie tenderly stroking her hair at various points.

While it wasn't her first time wearing the ring, she usually wore it on a different finger, leading to speculation that the move was significant.

Jenna and Jamie met in 2020 on the set of Netflix series The Sandman and worked together again on Jamie's first film Jackdaw, which was released last month.

Jenna previously dated Tom Hughes, who played her husband Prince Albert in ITV's Victoria, for seven years.

They met in 2013 on the set of BBC drama series Dancing On The Edge, but went their separate ways in 2020.

Before Tom, Jenna dated Bodyguard and Game Of Thrones star Richard Madden.

The actress is currently filming new BBC detective drama The Jetty, which is expected to hit screens next year.

The series synopsis teases: 'As Ember comes close to the truth, it threatens to destroy her life – forcing her to rethink everything she thought she knew about her past, present and the city she has always called home to evaluate.'

In the four-part series, a fire destroys a holiday home in a lakeside town in Lancashire and Jenna's character Detective Ember is tasked with finding out how the fire is connected to a podcast journalist, who is investigating a crime.

The journalist investigates a cold case of missing persons and an illegal 'love triangle' between a man in his twenties and two underage girls.

As she moves closer to answers, Ember's life begins to fall apart as she is driven to confront her past, present, and the city she has always called home.

The Jetty is designed to delve into the moral legacy of the Me Too movement and ask questions about sexual morality, identity and memory.

Vanessa Hudgens said “I do” to MLB player Cole Tucker in Tulum, Mexico on December 2, and was reunited with High School Musical co-stars Monique Coleman and Lucas Grabeel on the big day.

The new bride, 34, welcomed 100 guests to her romantic wedding as she married the professional baseball star, 27, in the scenic Azulik City of the Arts.

Coleman, 43 — who most notably played Taylor McKessie in the hit Disney franchise — uploaded a video Thursday to send her congratulations to Hudgens.

The actress also included special moments from the wedding, such as posing with Grabeel, 39 – who played Ryan Evans in the films.

The beginning was a clip of both Monique and Vanessa excitedly jumping up and down on a sandy shore of a beach as the sun set in the distance.

The Princess Switch star wore a flowy, white strapless dress with fabric tied in bows below her shoulders.

Monique donned a black bikini top tied with a string wrapped around her shoulders, as well as black shorts.

After showing some of their excitement at the reunion, the pair shared a friendly hug, which was also caught on camera.

The clip then transitioned into a slideshow of images, such as Coleman posing to show off her wedding outfit.

She wore a strapless bandeau top made from a dazzling sequined material, teamed with a matching maxi skirt with a thigh-high slit on the left side for a sultry flare.

The beauty styled her locks into a sleek bun, easily revealing a pair of large gold hoop earrings that she wore to accentuate the striking look.

Coleman then shared another photo as she paused for a photo with Lucas, who wore a dark purple suit and patterned shirt.

The two smiled happily for the camera as they supported Vanessa on her special day.

In the caption of the post, Monique wrote, “Congratulations @vanessahudgens & @cotuck. Your love is magical.’

An instrumental version of Maile’s song I Got You played in the background of the reel throughout the clip.

Social media users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the reunion, including Hudgens himself, who wrote, “I love u.”

Vanessa’s sister, Stella, also added: ‘Beautiful angel!!!! Loved seeing you ❤,” while one fan typed, “Throwback to our childhood, Queens.”

Another wrote: ‘Literally so sweet and a dream come true that you are all still friends and so there for each other.’

Lucas later reposted the video to his own Instagram Stories, adding the caption, “Congratulations Vanessa! Thanks for sharing Mo! I love you both so much! What a special journey!’

After tying the knot with Tucker — who she started dating in 2020 — Hudgens opened up to Fashion about the lavish wedding, admitting, “The planning process was absolutely overwhelming.”

“I knew I had never been to a wedding the way I wanted my own wedding to look, so I had to think outside the box,” she said, later adding, “…I wanted to be surrounded are by nature, greenery and foliage.’

However, she found the perfect location in the Azulik City of the Arts, in the middle of the Mayan jungle.

On the big day, the Hallmark Channel star wore a Vera Wang gown with a low back that clung to her gorgeous body.

Her hair was tied back in a tight bun, with a light ivory tulle veil on the back of her head. The words: ‘Mrs. T December 2, 2023’ were embroidered onto the material for a unique touch.

Cole wore a white double-breasted suit jacket and tan pants. He also opted for a white shirt and brown leather shoes to complete his look.

Vanessa’s bridesmaids all wore long, bronze-colored dresses, while the groomsmen wore a similar color scheme to Tucker’s outfit.

The happy couple met for the first time during a Zoom meditation hosted by Jay Shetty, who also officiated the wedding.

After the ceremony, the bridal couple enjoyed a tasty dinner with the guests, followed by a reception.

For the festivities, Hudgens changed into a second Vera Wang ensemble, a strapless dress made from both lace and silk.

Reflecting on the day, the star offered one piece of advice: “don’t do first looks because seeing each other for the first time at the altar is the most emotional moment of my life.”

“I literally fell over when I saw Cole and had to take a deep breath and force myself to keep walking because I could have fallen to the ground.”

The actress then said: ‘It was truly the most magical weekend of my life.’

“I’m so grateful we got to have a private wedding, and it helped that I took everyone’s phones away.”

‘I couldn’t have dreamed it would be better. I knew it was going to be magical, but it exceeded my expectations.”

Other celebrities were also in attendance, including Modern Family alum Sarah Hyland and Barbie star Alexandra Shipp, both of whom also happened to be bridesmaids.

Shipp recently mentioned this Entertainment tonight that the wedding was “so beautiful,” adding, “I cried the whole time.” She and Cole have the right stuff.”

The premise follows, ‘the wondrous story of how the world’s greatest inventor, magician and chocolate-maker became the beloved Willy Wonka we know today,’ per an official IMDB synopsis.  

During an interview with Vogue earlier this year in May, Timothée opened up about taking on the role of Wonka in the musical fantasy. 

‘To work on something that will have an uncynical young audience, that was just a big joy,’ he explained to the outlet.

He added, ‘That’s why I was drawn to it. In a time and climate of intense political rhetoric, when there’s so much bad news all the time, this is hopefully going to be a piece of chocolate.’

The Little Women star also explained that his portrayal of Wonka would not be ‘cynical.’ 

‘This is a Willy that’s full of joy and hope and desire to become the greatest chocolatier,’ the star stated. 

Timothee went onto praise director Paul while attended Wonk’s Tokyo premiere last week. 

‘Paul King wrote a beautiful script here, about a young Willy Wonka who follows his dreams,’ Chalamet stated of the director, per Variety

‘If you would’ve told me when I was 12 years old – when I was 10 years old watching the Johnny Depp version of Willy Wonka, that I’d get to be here in Tokyo promoting this movie as Willy Wonka, standing next to Hugh Grant, I would’ve told you you were lying,’ he admitted while reflecting on the role. 

Timothée then motivationally added, ‘So, I guess like the movie, follow your dreams.’

Wonka will be released in the UK on December 8, and the US on December 15.

Jenna Coleman, Hayley Atwell, Zawe Ashton and Ruth Wilson led the glamorous stars at the 67th Evening Standard Theatre Awards at London’s swanky Claridge’s Hotel on Sunday.

Former Doctor Who star Jenna, 37, looked ravishing in a cream woven gown which was tailored to perfection and hugged every inch of her jaw-dropping figure. 

Her gorgeous frock boasted a high neck and gold clasps which dazzled under the lights as she strutted her stuff on the a-list red carpet.

Jenna forwent jewellery and let the outfit speak for itself opting instead for simple earrings and styled her glossy locks in a 1960s inspired flick.

Meanwhile Mission Impossible actress Hayley, 41, put on a very busty display in a plunging back dress with long and dramatic cape like sleeves.

The figure-hugging dress accentuated her curves and Hayley added a pop of colour to the ensemble with a pair of hot pink stiletto heels.

She added a little extra glamour with a selection of jewellery including a huge diamond ring, after becoming engaged to Ned Wolfgang Kelly earlier this year. 

Zawe, 39, made her own very stylish arrival alongside fiancé and Loki star Tom Hiddleston, 42, with whom she welcomed a child in October 2022.

The beauty wore an eye-catching navy blue sequinned maxi dress for the occasion complete with elegant cape that also boasted silver embellishments on the neckline.

Elsewhere on the red carpet Ruth Wilson, 41, looked nothing short of sensational in a black sheer top with high-waisted skirt that teased a glimpse of her toned legs via a thigh-high split.  

The actress slicked back her dark tresses into a chic chignon, adding extra height to her frame with platform heels and accessorising with a simple clutch.

Marvel star Tom didn’t disappoint and was suited and booted in a green double-breasted velvet tuxedo jacket which he layered over a crisp white shirt and black dickie bow.

He also donned a pair of smart black trousers and shiny dress shoes as he proudly cuddled up to stunning fiancée Zawe.

Nicole’s new role marks her return to the stage, eight years after she was nominated for an Olivier Award for her portrayal of Grizabella in Cats.

And her musical comeback has been heralded a success by Daily Mail reviewer Luke Jones who gave her a five star review.

It said: ‘The classically romantic score remains, melting over a slightly clunky plot about a reclusive, deluded silent movie star who ensnares a young writer called Joe, so he can polish her comeback screenplay. Over the course of two-and-a-half hours she loses her marbles, and he loses his life.

‘Director Jamie Lloyd, who’s been toiling at his stripped-back and moody style of revival for years, has finally hit the sweet spot. No lavish costumes, no intricate set. Just live camera work, a ferociously big star, and an even bigger band.

‘The lighting is almost exclusively bright white, which designer Jack Knowles harnesses in the most magical way. It pulsates, hides and reveals, using the thick stage mist.

‘Dominating the view, though, is an enormous screen, giving us haunting, live close-up shots of the actors in front of us… melodramatic glances, fluttering lashes and big bulbous tears. Scherzinger even delivers a pouty over-the-shoulder look right down the barrel.

‘It’s a perfect marriage of psychological trauma and camp. Think Pinter, with a bouncy brass section and expressive dance. Or opera, if it were watchable. Norma’s dramatics are put in what feels like a real world.

‘Scherzinger will rightly get a low-loader full of awards, but so too should her co-star Tom Francis, as poor Joe. Both are vocally flawless. Both deftly balance the histrionic and the genuinely heartbreaking, the playful and raw.

‘They take their bows dripping in fake blood and genuine, hard-earned sweat.

‘Nicole Scherzinger nails it from the off. Any doubts I had about a Pussycat Doll playing Hollywood’s answer to Miss Havisham were banished pronto.

‘The early tune, With One Look, sees Scherzinger, as the mighty Norma Desmond, rip off her sunglasses and, in a tornado of stage haze and white-hot spotlights, roar an ear-popping showstopper.

‘The room leaped to its feet. Fading pop star becomes fading film icon, to dramatic perfection! I gasped – losing a full mouthful of gin and tonic to my shirt.

Strictly’s Annabel Croft brought viewers to tears as she paid a heartbreaking tribute to her late husband Mel Croft during Saturday night’s show.

The former tennis player, 57, cried as she remembered her beloved partner as she danced her lyrical routine Couple’s Choice with professional dancer Johannes Radebe, 36.

Annabel’s late husband and father of their three children Charlie, Amber and Lilly died earlier this year at the age of 60, just weeks after being diagnosed with stage three cancer.

Annabel said: ‘This week it’s Couple’s Choice and we’re dancing a lyrical dance to the song Wings by Birdy. I think this song is definitely a tribute to my husband Mel. It couldn’t be anything other than that.

‘As soon as we met, I was captivated by his huge smile and his great sense of humor. We were supposed to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary this year and I never saw what was going to happen.

Devastating: Annabel’s late husband Mel Coleman died earlier this year aged 60 (pictured in 2021)

‘He was diagnosed on January 31st and was told he didn’t have much time left. I don’t think I could survive without the children.’

Their daughter Lily then told her mother: ‘I don’t think I recognize you from when you started Strictly to now. You’re so amazing right now.

‘My dad always loved watching Strictly. He loved watching Johannes. He is definitely the angel she needed as much as he did.”

Annabel took Johannes to a bench in Richmond Park where she and Mel walked to and sat on every day.

Viewers took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to comment on the powerful performance.

They wrote: ‘I’m in pieces. What a moving and beautiful dance’ and ‘Annabel and Johannes. Couple’s choice. So emotional, I’m in tears.

‘Watching Annabel Croft dance, like many men pretend I don’t cry. Everyone who lost someone was there. We’ll see you!’

‘Johannes is such a sweet soul’ and ‘Annabel and Johannes – that hug at the end lasted far too long but otherwise a beautiful routine’.

Viewers took to X – formerly known as Twitter – to comment on the powerful performance.

‘It was a strange scenario. I was about to go out in front of millions of people and be cheerful and happy, but I was sobbing and thinking, ‘I don’t know where you are, Mel. Where have you been?’.’

Fans of Strictly will know that former tennis talent Annabel came into the competition from a difficult position.

She was widowed in May after losing her husband to cancer. They had been together for 36 years and he was her first serious boyfriend. “There was never anyone else,” she said.

Sadness: Annabel previously revealed she 'sobbed' the night before her debut on the show (pictured on their wedding day)

Sadness: Annabel previously revealed she ‘sobbed’ the night before her debut on the show (pictured on their wedding day)

The radio presenter recently revealed she was ‘sobbing’ over her loss the night before her debut on the BBC show in an interview with The Daily Mail.

The one person who could have given her a pep talk and a you-can-do-it hug, like he had done her entire adult life, wasn’t there.

“So I just sat there and cried,” she recalled. “Mel was my biggest supporter, my protector. He gave me confidence. He made things right, he always had. I wanted to talk to him. I wanted to say, “I’m really nervous about tomorrow, but I don’t have you to make it up to me.”

What was particularly brutal was the speed of it. Mel, a healthy former sailor who traveled the world, went from diagnosis to death in sixteen weeks.

“It’s unthinkable,” Annabel said. ‘How can someone disappear in three months? We didn’t even know he was sick.

“The day they said, ‘Cancer, and it’s everywhere,’ I just went into total freefall. I was one of those wailing women in the hospital parking lot.

‘Poor Mel was the one who was told he was going to die, and he comforted me. Three months later I picked up a death certificate and our three children had to deal with the fact that their father’s name was on it.

“Our son, Charlie, said it was as if a hand had come out of the sky and plucked Mel out, leaving our family with a gaping hole that will never be filled.”

She said Mel’s suits – “his nice linen suits that he would wear to Wimbledon” – are still hanging in the closet. She accidentally lifted his toothbrush the other day and stood up in shock. “I should throw it away. I can not do it.’

Annabel was unable to remove his ashes from the crematorium. “I know I have to,” she says. ‘People say it’s a comfort to have them, but I just can’t. Ash? Mel?

‘Until now I didn’t understand what sadness was. I didn’t even understand death, had never thought about it. Now I’m thinking, ‘God, Mel, you committed death. How is that even possible?’ How can I be a widow? We were a team.’

Annabel Croft put on a brave face as she attended day two of Wimbledon on Tuesday, just weeks after the sad death of her husband Mel Coleman.

Former tennis star Annabel, 56, was devastated in May when Mel died just a few weeks after he was diagnosed with cancer.

Broadcaster Annabel married former professional sailor Mel in 1992 and the couple – who enjoyed a healthy and active lifestyle – were blindsided when Mel was diagnosed with stage 3 cancer after complaining of abdominal pain.

He died eight weeks later at the age of 60.

Returning to a place that would bring her so much comfort and joy in her career, Annabel attended day two of Wimbledon on Tuesday.

The former British number one smiled for onlookers as she walked onto the grounds in a pink denim jumpsuit and green hoodie.

A longtime fixture of the BBC’s Wimbledon coverage, she also covers tennis tournaments around the world. The family lives in Coombe, Surrey, near Wimbledon.

She announced her husband’s death on May 26, saying in a statement: ‘My beloved husband Mel passed away peacefully on Wednesday morning after a brief battle with cancer. My family and I are heartbroken and ask for privacy at this very sad time.”

A friend said: ‘This has come as an extreme shock to everyone – the diagnosis came out of the blue and Mel didn’t seem unwell at the time.

“Unfortunately, the cancer progressed relentlessly… and he passed away earlier this week. Everyone is devastated and shocked, and Annabel is absolutely devastated.

“Those two have always been together and were a great couple.”

They have three adult children Charlie, Amber and Lilly.

The pair met just before Annabel dropped out of the tennis tour and he was her first serious boyfriend.

Mel, a successful investment banker who competed in the America’s Cup and more recently ran a tennis school with his wife, was known for his seemingly perfect health and, like Annabel, enjoyed an active outdoor life.

After the Covid lockdowns, they converted an old van into a mobile home together and traveled across the country and to Europe on walking holidays.

Earlier this year, Annabel, a former UK number one, recalled that her path coincidentally crossed Mel’s when she was at a crisis point.

At the age of 21, she was at the US Open with a pep talk from fellow player John Newcombe, who suggested she think about what she wanted to do with her life, as she seemed unhappy. She had been on the tennis tour for nearly six years and was lonely, stressed and lost from the demands of relentlessly competing.

‘While we were talking I got a text from my mum saying that the BBC’s production office in Belfast asked if I would be interested in filming a program about yacht racing.

‘I had never been on a yacht before, but eventually me, Eamonn Holmes and Peter Skellern went to Guernsey to record a program where we learned how to race on a yacht.

‘Mel, who had just returned from Australia after the America’s Cup, was one of the sailors and that’s how we met.

“After a day of filming, we all went to the pub, had dinner – it sounds weird, but I’d never done that before – and I remember thinking, gee, this is really fun and normal, and I want a little bit more of this instead of getting up and putting on a tracksuit and stressing if my backhand is working today.”

Six years later they got married.

In a recent interview with the Daily Mail, she spoke of her excitement at the prospect of traveling with her husband in their van after the lockdown.

She said, “I think we’ll be fine considering how long we’ve been together. It’s about the freedom and the sense of adventure.’

Not too long ago, celebrity makeup sequences were a bit of a joke. Like perfumes and concert T-shirts, they just seemed to be another way to monetize fans.

But in 2017, Rihanna changed the game with her range, Fenty. The shades were inclusive, the formulations refined, and the packaging was slick.

That raised the bar and many others followed suit — the latest A-lister to land a credible lippie is Lady Gaga, with her Haus Labs line, which landed in the UK early this month.

Here’s my verdict on the must-buys in the world of celebrity cosmetics.

Experts rave about the textures, formulations and wearable colors in Lady Gaga’s Haus Labs makeup range

Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder Highlighter (£39.99)

Gaga describes her line as “supercharged products with innovative formulations and new ingredients,” and experts rave about the textures, formulations, and wearable colors.

The heroes: Atomic Shake Lip Lacquer (£25.99), a high-shine liquid lipstick in six shades that lasts. Make-up artist Nikkie de Jager’s TikTok video on which she uses it has been viewed more than five million times in less than 24 hours, while Lady Gaga’s own video has been viewed almost 14 million times.

Then there’s the Bio-Radiant Gel-Powder Highlighter (£39.99), which applies as a powder and melts into the skin like a gel. Among the ten shades are beautiful browns and pinks that work as a bronzer and blusher with a dewy finish.

PICKED PENCILS

Victoria’s first foray into makeup was a collection with Estee Lauder, but in 2019 she launched her own line of luxury cosmetics to critical acclaim. Victoria is a makeup obsessive, creating sophisticated, wearable products in elegant shades.

The Heroes: Victoria’s signature smokey eye is a great showcase for her Satin Kajal Liner Pencils (£26) and creamy stick shadow Eyewear (£30). Both are packed with pigment that blends easily and then doesn’t move. Make-up artist Monika Blunder loves it. I am a fan of the shade Eyewear (£30) – the matte brown Pecan shade is great.

The supermodel who was once famous for her M&S underwear is now praised for her knowledge of beauty. Rosie teamed up with biotech company Amyris to create her smart skincare and makeup line.

The Heroes: Skin Enhance Luminous Tinted Serum (£39). In 14 shades, it comes out of the bottle looking like it’s curdled, but you mix to blend the pigment with the skincare ingredients and end up with the perfect summer base – light coverage and hydration.

Then there’s the Cream Blush Refillable Cheek & Lip Color (£25), loved by makeup artists and beauty editors alike. It comes in 12 shades in a moisturizing, finger-applying, cream format.

DIAMOND BUY

Fenty by Rihanna (fentybeauty.com)

Rhianna's Fenty beauty contains the Pro Filt¿r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation in over 50 shades

Rhianna’s Fenty beauty contains the Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation in over 50 shades

The singer was inspired to create her range after feeling that not all skin tones and types were served – and it was Pro Filt’r Soft Matte Longwear Foundation’s 50+ shades that made headlines.

The Heroes: Hella Thicc Volumizing Mascara (£16). This impressive, long-wearing mascara thickens and lengthens lashes.

Match Stix Shimmer Skinstick in eight shades are portable, iridescent sticks that can be used as highlighters, rouge or eyeshadow.

Look for the Correcting Skinsticks and Contour Skinsticks for a more matte alternative (all £25).

Pop icon Ariana’s range is priced lower, but don’t write it off as just for teens. Selfridges made it their brand of the year at last year’s beauty awards, and rightfully so.

Rem Beauty's popular eye palettes come in five colorways

The Heroes: Midnight Shadows Eye Palette (£22) – these six-pan palettes come in five colorways and while the turquoise and lilac from Gogo Boots might be a bit off, Babydoll’s more muted browns and neutrals are very wearable . Great for on-the-go beauty, Eclipse Cheek & Lip Stick (£18) is a thick bullet with a cream smudge in four different shades. Blend well and sweep into lips for a contracted effect.

It is the brand’s best-selling product at Sephora.
