Kate's uncle Gary Goldsmith conveyed his confidence in the exceptional care the Princess of Wales is receiving but refrained from discussing his niece's well-being further due to a "code of etiquette." Entering the Celebrity Big Brother house alongside renowned figures like Sharon Osbourne, Goldsmith found himself in the limelight, especially after Osbourne nominated him for eviction citing a less favorable first impression.During his time in the house, Goldsmith touched on the widespread speculation regarding Kate's health following her abdominal surgery and subsequent withdrawal from royal engagements. When questioned about Kate's whereabouts, Goldsmith subtly deflected, highlighting the importance of discretion. "Because she doesn't want to talk about… The last thing I'm going to do is… there's a kind of code of etiquette. If it's announced, I'll give you an opinion," he stated, reassuring that the Duchess is "getting the best care in the world" and emphasizing the family's priority to rally around her.Goldsmith also addressed misconceptions about Kate's background, expressing irritation at claims of her being "common" and proudly reflecting on his family's ascent to wealth. He candidly discussed the impact of Prince Harry's departure from the royal family, praising Prince William for his openness to reconciliation and suggesting that the Sussexes should be stripped of their titles.Despite being cast as the "black sheep of the Royal family," Goldsmith used his appearance on Celebrity Big Brother as a platform to challenge public perceptions, stating, "It does bother me what the public perception of me is – the black sheep of the royal family. I'm a normal bloke." He expressed no desire for celebrity status but hoped to show a different side of himself through the show.Sharon Osbourne, after nominating Goldsmith for eviction, described him as "awkward" and potentially out of place in the Celebrity Big Brother environment, likening his discomfort to how she would feel in one of his board meetings. Goldsmith, acknowledging the nomination, admitted to feeling "a lot awkward" within the house.Gary discussed Harry and Meghan with TV presenter Fern Britton, admitting his criticism of Meghan. He commended William for his resilience and openness to reconciliation with Harry, amidst efforts to modernize the royal family. Gary's suggestion to strip Harry and Meghan of their titles sparked a reaction from Fern, highlighting the familial discord's emotional toll.Gary criticized Harry and Meghan for their public grievances against the family and subsequent media ventures, questioning their expectation of a warm family reception. He reminisced about the close bond between Kate, William, and Harry before Meghan's entry changed the dynamics, accusing her of creating unnecessary drama.In discussions with Sharon Osbourne, Gary speculated on Harry's eventual return to the UK, expressing hope for national forgiveness. During a candid kitchen conversation on Tuesday night, contestant Louis Walsh inquired if being related to the famous royals was challenging for Gary Goldsmith. Gary shared, "I didn't choose this life; it sort of chose me. And with that came an unexpected level of attention.”“They've dubbed me the 'buncle'—that's a bad uncle. Seems like every family's got one.”Goldsmith opened up about the difficulties of maintaining contact with Kate, "Reaching out to Kate can be challenging, especially now with her commitments to her family, which I deeply respect and admire for prioritizing her children and family."He expressed his admiration for the couple, stating, "In my eyes, William and Kate truly are the linchpins of the royal family."Despite potential concerns from his sister Carole Middleton about his Celebrity Big Brother participation, Gary insisted he didn't need Kate's permission, emphasizing his love and respect for his family while asserting his right to individual opinions.

Join Daniel, Aka Dapper Laughs, in this new Podcast, Menace II Sobriety, where he raises awareness around addiction and sobriety and talks about the links between drugs, alcohol, mental health and well-being whilst interviewing incredible guests. In this episode, Daniel is joined by celebrity hypnotherapist, author and ex-addict Elliot Wald. Elliot has over 26 years of experience in psychology and linguistics, this teamed with his own experience of addiction, gives him a unique opportunity to educate and help individuals and families suffering the consequences of addiction. He talks to Daniel about his own journey to sobriety, his knowledge of cocaine and addiction as well as how he has helped hundreds of people get sober. KEY TAKEAWAYS  Elliot focuses on cocaine addiction in a lot of his hypnotherapy. Recently he has found popularity in creating TikTok videos and this is where Daniel first heard of him. There are a set of characteristics specific to cocaine use, Elliot sets out to educate people to recognise these as early as possible, to help someone who may or already is suffering from addiction. If you recognise you have a problem with addiction, this may not be welcomed by those around you. Daniel likens it to holding a mirror up to those surrounding you and they don't want to see it or admit they may have a problem too. As an addict, it isn't possible to have just a small amount of the substance you have a problem with, no matter how much other people might try and convince you. People who offer drink or drugs to you when they know you have a problem aren't giving you the support you need to combat your addiction. It's absolutely possible to channel an addictive personality into positive pursuits, such as fitness. Secondary addiction is common, particularly around sex. In most things in life, there is a certain amount of pain to endure before pleasure. With cocaine, this is switched around which is one of the reasons it's so hard to break the habit. Elliot believes there are four steps to the addiction to cocaine: 1. The anticipation of taking cocaine 2. The using of cocaine 3. Believing it will be different next time 4. The stress, anxiety and regret of using Lies are a big part of any addiction. You lie to the people around you, to yourself, about your addiction, how much you use, how often, the list is endless. Different people can have different substance addictions. You may have issues with cocaine but not alcohol, however, some people can become addicted to almost anything. To help someone, Elliot first has to understand them completely, he can then help them rewire their brain to go sober.   BEST MOMENTS  “I was a genuine lads lad sesh-head back in the day” “It goes from the most social drug to the most unsociable drug” “Sometimes when you recognise you have a problem or an issue it's like holding a mirror up to the people around you” “I'm an all or nothing mentality” “What things have you done that you would never ever do if you weren't on the packet?" “When you use, you lie” “I don't judge people, I'm not there to judge you, I'm there to help you” VALUABLE RESOURCES https://www.cocaineanonymous.org.uk CONTACT METHOD Instagram Facebook Twitter   ABOUT THE GUEST Elliot Wald Elliott Wald is a Master Trainer in many therapies and over the last 27 years has become recognised as a leading expert in the field of Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming NLP and Modern Psychology. Elliott is a truly exceptional and effective Hypnotherapist, with an impressive track record of clients who have found his unique abilities ‘life changing', including celebrities from the movies, television, sporting and media industries, as well as thousands of members of the general public who have experienced his extraordinary results, through his 1-1 work or at his seminars delivered around the world. Elliott is a regular face on our TV screens, having numerous appearances as the Hypnosis Expert of ITV's This Morning Show and ‘Lorraine Kelly's Next Big Fat Challenge' demonstrating his outstanding Hypnosis skills. His success continues to be featured on Television, in Newspapers, Magazines and Radio.

Richard Coles and Nikki Bedi are joined by Graeme Garden - one third of the Goodies along with Bill Oddie and the late Tim Brooke-Taylor. In the classic BBC television show the trio played agents for hire and would do "anything, anywhere, anytime". Astride their trusty ‘Trandem’ – a three-seater bicycle – they tackled a giant kitten, parodied westerns with a Cornish version called “Bunfight at the OK Tea Rooms” and were chased by a giant Dougal from Magic Roundabout. Graeme also created I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue, the long-running Radio 4 show on which he is still a panellist and, with producer Jon Naismith, devised the Unbelievable Truth on Radio 4. Jojo Moyes is a novelist and journalist. Her books include the bestsellers Me Before You, After You and Still Me and The Girl You Left Behind. Me Before You has now sold over 14 million copies worldwide and was adapted into a major film starring Sam Claflin and Emilia Clarke. JoJo’s latest novel, The Giver of Stars, is based on a mobile library service launched by Eleanor Roosevelt in the 1930s. The Pack Horse Library Project was an initiative in which female volunteers on horseback delivered paperbacks to families in rural Kentucky who did not have access to books. Giles Clark is a conservationist who is taking on the illegal wildlife trade and helping to build a pioneering new bear sanctuary in Laos, Southeast Asia. He'll be talking about rescuing sun and moon bears and the perils of having bears about the house. And Garry Crothers, who lost an arm in a motorbike accident, joins us to talk about his epic journey - a 4,000 mile solo voyage from the Caribbean to his home in Northern Ireland. Presenter and author Fern Britton chooses her Inheritance Tracks - Those Lazy-Hazy-Crazy Days of Summer by Nat King Cole and (You Make Me Feel Like A) Natural Woman by Carole King.

It tells the story of a woman returning to her Cornish hometown after many years away, and how she fixes the relationships that have been broken through time. Fern's books are mostly all set in her beloved Cornwall, in fictitious villages that treat you the same way as a hot-water bottle. They're warming, comfy but have that odd element of mysterious danger.Making her name on 'Ready, Steady, Cook', 'This Morning' and 'Strictly Come Dancing', Fern now spends most of her time gazing over farmland and a blank Word Document from her cottage-study.
