Robbie Williams and Ayda Fields are serious #couple goals.

The singer recently shared how he proposed to his wife, Ayda Fields, and the story is straight from a Rom-Com.

The power couple has recently celebrated their eight year anniversary, reflecting on all the wonderful milestones they have accomplished together.

Just last week, Ayda posted a photo of their wedding day, celebrating her and her husband’s strength to brave the ‘journey’ they have travelled together.

“Thank you for taking the midnight train to anywhere with me. It's been the journey of a lifetime. Happy Anniversary! I love you!”

It seems the Let Me Entertain You singer has reciprocated his wife’s public declaration of love.

In honour of Romance Awareness Month, Robbie posted an adorable photo of the two laughing and holding hands.

The singer wistfully looked back at how he proposed to the love of his life.

“Every time I used to think of Ayda and pull a card from a deck it would always be a queen, so I took her to the place that I first laid my eyes on her and gave her four queens.

“Each card said one word each. Will… You… Marry… Me?”

As if the heartthrob wasn’t cute enough with his cheeky comments and sexy stare.

Since the start of their of their fiery relationship, Ayda and Robbie have had two children together: five-year-old Teddy and three-year-old Carlton.

And have revealed that they are thinking about having a third.

Perhaps all the recent romance can be traced back to the couple’s increased time together.

Both Ayda and Robbie have joined the The X Factor panel this year, joining Simon Cowell and Louis Tomlinson as judges.

The talented pair have extremely busy careers, but it is sweet to see them taking time out of their day to remind each other how much love they share.

So… it looks like Gary Barlow’s new show Let It Shinemight land him in hot water with ex-boss Simon Cowell.

According to the Daily Mail, producer of the X Factor, Simon Cowell, is seeking legal advice as the rival show may “infringe his rights”.

The BBC announced plans for the new show back in June, after selling singing show The Voice UK to ITV.

Following the announcement a source told the Sun, "Cowell is going to be furious because he thinks it was X Factor that gave Gary the experience working on a show like this. Now he’s gone and set up a direct rival.

The Take That star who appeared as a judge on the X Factor for three consecutive years, told the BBC that there was a “demand” for another talent show.

The purpose of the new talent show is to find five leads to star in a Take That musical.

Graham Norton and Mel Giedroyc will host the new BBC One show, which runs for eight weeks. With Barlow heading up the judging panel, joined by fellow X Factor judge Dannii Minogue, Spandu Ballet’s Martin Kemp and Glee star Amber Riley.

Popularity for the singing competition has dwindled in recent years, with the most recent series losing viewers to Strictly Come Dancing.

Speaking to the BBC, Barlow said, "I think people are ingesting TV in a different way now. That old system of ratings shouldn't really apply anymore."

The 45-year- old star added, "But I think people are still loving, downloading and buying music and listening to music more importantly.

"And I think people are ready for a new Saturday night experience."

The show will kick off on Saturday night at 7pm on BBC One.

One Direction star Louis Tomlinson welcomed the New Year with a hangover selfie posted to Instagram on Sunday.

Staring into the camera looking a little worse for wear, Tomlinson captioned the snap, “I’ve felt better! Hello 2017!!”

The 25-year-old suffered the loss of his mother Johannah Deakin (43) in December. Following a battle with leukemia, Deakin died aged 43.

At the time the family said, “It is with immeasurable sadness that Johannah Deakin’s family said goodbye to Johannah in the early hours of Wednesday, Dec. 7.”

“Earlier this year Johannah was diagnosed with a very aggressive form of leukemia that required immediate and continuous treatment. We respectfully request that the family are given time and space to grieve in private.”

Last night, the wonderful Matt Terry was crowned the winner of the X Factor 2016, beating Finnish Saara Alto in the final. 

We all know the drill- the winner ALWAYS performs their single at the end of the final.

Towards the end of the song, all of the X Factor contestants join the winner on stage, and an emotional reunion ensues (I'm usually crying at this point).

Anyway, last night's final was no exception, and Matt took to the stage to sing his winning single When Christmas Comes Around.

All of his fellow contestants joined him on stage, and that is when things got iiinteresting.

 

My brother. You did it

Viewers took to social media with claims that Matt and Freddy Parker, who went home early in the show, shared a kiss during the reunion.

Now, I have re-watched the clip at least 45 times, trying to figure it all out, and I don't know if I see it.

 

 

 

Hundreds of people swear that if you look closely, Matt leans in a smacks little Freddy on the lips… rock and roll. 

Speaking to The Sun, Matt had his say on the kissing theory, saying “I don’t know what this is about. Freddy is my little brother, we hit it off straight away."

Since 2004 the X Factor has been a household name, with Saturday and Sunday nights usually consisting of the popular show and a take-away.

However, the BBC has confirmed that Sir David Attenborough’s BBC one show, Planet Earth II is now more popular.

In fact, the first episode had 12.26 million viewers.

Talking about the show's incredible ratings, Sir David Attenborough told the Radio Times that it "pleases him enormously".

"I'm told that we are attracting a larger than normal number of younger viewers and apparently the music of Hans Zimmer in particular is striking a chord."

The series shows high definition shots of animals in their natural habitats, and with David's famed soft-toned voice, it is no surprise that it is beating X Factor for ratings.

Our faith in humanity is restored!

When it comes to penning top-notch tracks, music industry moguls know they don't come much better than Ed Sheeran these days.

So, it's no real surprise that the folk behind the X Factor have earmarked the 25-year-old for this year's winner's single.

With tracks like Thinking Out Loud, Photograph and The A Team under his belt, Ed has undoubtedly made his mark on the charts over the last few years, and X Factor bosses want to give their winner a taste of the same success.

“Everything Ed does turns to gold,” a source told The Sun newspaper. “To have him write the winner’s song is huge and amazing news for this year’s winner."

Like the show's bosses, this year's aspiring stars know affiliation with Ed will do wonders for the song's chart position, with the insider adding: "All the remaining contestants have heard the track and it works for the majority."

"They can’t believe potentially their first ever single will be written by Ed.”

But if you can't quite get your head around the idea of Honey G belting out an Ed Sheeran original, don't worry because you're not alone.

Acknowledging that Ed's style and lyrics won't work for every potential winner, bosses know Ed isn't a viable option for the likes of Honey G.

"The only chance his song won’t get used is if 5Am or Honey G pull off a shock win. Then bosses might need to consider another one of their options.”

Honey G doing an Ed Sheeran tearjerker? No, thanks.

X Factor duo Josh Brooks and Kyle Brooks have been suspended from the opening X Factor live show following allegations that Josh attacked his ex-girlfriend. 

According to Amelia Clarke, the 17-year-old singer was abusive throughout their four-year relationship. 

The 18-year-old claimed she was left with black eyes and a broken nose on more than one occasion. 

"I was constantly lying about where my bruises had come from. The worst time was last year" the Sun on Sunday reported this morning. 

Josh was due to appear on last night's live X Factor show alongside his brother Kyle.

Josh has strenuously denied his former girlfriend's allegations. 

X Factor bosses are now investigating claims that Josh was abusive and that he sent threatening messages to her. 

We hope it all works out!

Simon Cowell is known for his honesty, and the blunt manner in which he delivers his opinion.

Well, this weekend on X Factor was no exception…

The 22-year-old hopeful sang a song he wrote, and sent all four judges into a cringe-worthy state of surprise.

Time passed (very slowly) and eventually Simon called a halt to the actor's failed audition.

"That was self-indulgent crap. And it was such a boring song" Simon said to Will after his audition.

After Will walked off the stage, red faced and embarrassed, Nicole said "how can anyone sing along to that? I know these guys are better than this."

It would seem as though life has not been easy for James Arthur, since he won the X Factor back in 2012!

The reality TV show winner developed a dependence on marijuana and prescription pills shortly after his success, resulting in thoughts of suicide. 

James recently opened up to The Sun, where he spoke of his struggles.

"My lowest moment was when I was going to bed, I'd take 15 pre-rolled joints and smoke one after the other, popping anti-depressants. My head was an absolute mess."

The 28-year-old even said he considered taking his own life at one stage, saying "I'd never been a guy who suffers from suicidal tendencies, but I had taken all I could take from life".

Despite the many demons James faced, he is now totally clean and believes that the music he wrote for his new album is his best work.

Glad to see James is doing better!

It would seem as though there might be a hint of bad blood between Xfactor boss Simon Cowell, and two former judges. 

Rita Ora and Cheryl Cole decided to spend time working on their respective careers, rather than returning to the judging panel. 

Simon recently gave an interview, where he comments on the "selfish" choices the two women made. 

The music mogul explained that  "when you're sitting as a judge and you're judging these shows you have to like people. If you don't, you can't do this job. It's as simple as that."

Simon goes on to explain that an issue he faces with his judging panel revolves around egos. 

"Singers don't want to find other stars. It's just not in their DNA. They only think about themselves. That is the nature of being a solo artist."

Rita Ora and Cheryl were replaced by veteran judges, and fan favourites, Sharon Osbourne and Nicole Sherzinger.

Rylan Clark and Matt Edmonson made their Xtra Factor debut last night, and the fans loved them. 

They were the perfect combination of funny, entertaining and engaging, making it a great night for the two presenters. 

Rylan Clark's night took a turn once the cameras went off, getting stuck in a small lift with eight people for almost an hour. 

Rylan shared the entire ordeal with his 1.3 million Twitter followers, and we have to admit it was pretty funny. 

Despite being a stressful experience (we would not want to be stuck in a lift EVER), Rylan made light of the situation.

He filmed himself swigging champagne from a bottle, letting us all know his priorities were in order. 

The 27-year-old joked on Twitter that "this could be the end" and wondered if he would survive. 

Rylan was trapped wit eight other people who work on the Xtra Factor, including his make-up artist, who can be seen sitting on the floor in his Tweets. 

Thankfully, after a long 45 minutes of being confined to "the world's smallest lift," the group broke free.
