Tom Cruise first met Michael Caine in 1983 – he instantly asked him one question

Sir Michael Caine has made a bold Tom Cruise claim while opening up about an encounter he had with the actor 40 years ago. The 91-year-old British star of films including Alfie, The Italian Job and Get Carter first met Cruise in 1983, and recently celebrated his 90th birthday with the Mission: Impossible actor – at an event that left Cruise in stitches over a “dirty” joke told by Loose Women star Denise Welch. It turns out the pair first met in 1983, when Cruise was on the cusp of hitting the bigtime with lead roles in Risky Business and All the Right Moves. At that time, Cruise had only had supporting roles and, after meeting Caine, he decided to use the opportunity to ask the actor for some advice. Writing in a new memoir, titled Don’t Look Back, You’ll Trip Over, Caine revealed the encounter occurred at an event promoting the film he was starring in at the time, Educating Rita, for which he received his first Oscar nomination. Writing in an extract from …

Denise Welch divides fans as she slams expert for ‘hating Meghan and Harry’ | Celebrity News | Showbiz & TV

Loose Women star Denise Welch has divided fans on social media after blasting Angela Levin and accusing her of “hating Meghan and Harry”. It comes after the Royal Commentator and journalist shared her thoughts on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s return to the United Kingdom. Appearing on GB News, the Royal Biographer took a cynical approach to the couple following reports that they will be coming back to London for the Invictus Games anniversary. “They will come over and be loving and interested for five minutes. But really, it will just be for another documentary,” she expressed during a conversation with Eamonn Holmes and Isabel Webster. Loose Women panellist Denise didn’t take kindly to this claim, slamming Angela on X (Twitter) in view of her 556,400 followers. She wrote: “What a nasty woman Angela Levin is. Obsessed with hating Meghan and Harry. Utterly pathetic!!” This divided the ITV star’s fans, who took to the comments section to share their thoughts on Denise’s tweet.

Dancing On Ice 2024: 24 Most Memorable Moments Ever

The weather’s a bit rubbish, the light nights are still a long way off and no one’s in the mood for going out – but at least January has gifted us some new reality TV to help us through the month. With The Masked Singer, The Traitors and a very special series of Love Island already keeping us entertained, it’s now time for Dancing On Ice to return to our screens for its 16th (yes, 16th!) season. The show will herald the return of Holly Willoughby to our screens after a two-month absence, alongside new co-host Stephen Mulhern, replacing Phillip Schofield. And while admittedly, Dancing On Ice can often be overlooked in the celebrity competition show landscape, especially compared to the likes of Strictly Come Dancing or I’m A Celebrity, we can’t help but feel this is a little unfair. In fact, it’s probably responsible for more memorable (and, often, chaotic) moments than you realise. Here are 24 of the most outstanding, infamous and shocking Dancing On Ice moments ever… 1.
