    Catherine, Princess of Wales' uncle claims she "doesn't want to talk about" her health battle

    The 42-year-old royal has not been seen in public since she was hospitalised in January and underwent abdominal surgery, and her relative Gary Goldsmith, 58, has now cryptically spoken about her condition while he competes on ITV's 'Celebrity Big Brother'


    When his fellow castmate Ekin-Su Cülcüloglu, 29, asked the businessman "Where's Kate?" on the show he stammered" "So, because she doesn't want to talk about it... the last thing I'm going to do is... ."

    Ekin then asked: "We can't talk about it?"

    Gary cited a "code of etiquette" and Catherine's mum Carole's brother then added: "If it's announced, I'll give you an opinion."

    Former 'Love Island' contestant Ekin appeared concerned as she replied: "I hope she's OK," with Gary then saying Carole, 69, had told him Catherine is "getting the best care in the world" while recovering from her operation.

    Ekin added: "I hope she's OK," with Gary saying: "She'll be back. Of course she will."

    Kensington Palace announced on 17 January mum-of-three Catherine had undergone a "successful" surgery and would not "return to public duties until after Easter", which falls on March 31 this year.

    While the palace described the operation as "planned," sources told Page Six that even the princess's closest aides had no idea about it.

    Catherine has since been photographed only once, sparking unfounded conspiracy theories to spring up about her condition on social media.

    But a representative for the royal has said Catherine is "doing well" and reiterated the palace will only provide "significant updates" on her health out of respect for her privacy.

    Catherine's husband Prince William, 41, also spoke out in the wake of the conspiracy theories, with his spokesman telling People: "His focus is on his work and not on social media."

    Gisele Bündchen is refusing to publicly discuss her "private" romance with Joaquim Valente.

    The 43-year-old supermodel, who has children Benjamin, 14, and Vivian, 11, with her retired NFL star ex-husband Tom Brady, 46, was confirmed to be dating her martial arts instructor in February when a source saw them kissing on Valentine's Day in their Miami neighbourhood.

    But during her interview with Robin Roberts in a 30-minute Hulu special

    called 'IMPACT x Nightline: Gisele Bündchen: Climbing the Mountain', the presenter said the model did not want to comment directly on the dating rumours as she wants to "keep her personal life private".

    But when the 'Good Morning America' anchor, 63, asked Gisele if she would be "able to open up her heart again to someone," she smiled and said: "Right now, really my priority is my kids and creating this beautiful sanctuary for my family, but then yes, why not?"

    Gisele added: "Life is full of surprises. I don't have a crystal ball that says what will happen tomorrow, but yes."

    The mum-of-two previously shut down rumours she and her trainer were more than friends.

    She told Vanity Fair in March 2023 about Joaquim: "He's our teacher and, most importantly, he's a person that I admire and that I trust. It's so good to have that kind of energy, to have my kids around that type of energy."

    An insider told People Gisele and Joaquim did not begin dating until June 2023, eight months after she and Tom finalised their divorce.

    A source also told the Daily Mail Tom - who also has son Jack, 16, with his 52-year-old actress ex Bridget Moynahan - has no issues with Joaquim and will try to keep things amicable for the sake of his three children.

    Gisele choked up when she was asked how she was doing during her Hulu chat, adding: "Sorry, guys. I don't know. Can I have a little moment?"
