BGT tenor Jonathan Antoine

What the celebs are talking about this week

“For years, I kept myself to myself, and thought, ‘Why would I talk about anything personal?’ But now I think it’s really important for me to use this platform to speak about things, because it gives other people permission and makes others feel connected as well.”

TV presenter Anita Rani on revealing she suffered a miscarriage. She hoped her honesty and openness would help other people dealing with a heartbreaking loss.

“I know women who eat and they do not change shape...I am not one of them.”

Davinia Taylor on her swollen tummy... blaming the Thai green curry, chocolate, kombucha, cappuccino, sourdough and crisps she had yet to digest. Happens to the best of us, Davinia, especially in lockdown and in such close vicinity to the kitchen!

“There’s some sense of normality with your friends and your workplace, family and everything. At night time, when the baby’s in bed, sit down with a glass of wine and pop over to Dan’s bar.”

Corrie actress Julia Goulding on keeping tabs with the Corrie cast via co-star Daniel Brocklebank’s virtual bar. Great idea, guys. Staying in touch is so important – and the fact that you can literally fall into bed at the end of the night is a bonus.

“You don’t make a movie to win an award. Mozart never composed a symphony thinking about a trophy.” Oscar-winning filmmaker Woody Allen. Very true, Woody, but it’s certainly a bonus if you do.

“We’re just having a bit of an earthquake here. I’m fine. I’m not under any hanging lights.”

New Zealand’s unshakeable Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, kept her trademark cool while being interviewed live on TV during an earthquake. Given how she’s expertly handled the Covid-19 crisis, a small-scale quake was never going to knock Jacinda off her stride.
