The mum of five became an instant hit on the show thanks to her unswerving devotion to her role in the series - but - and spoilers ahead if you didn't watch on Tuesday - her gameplay came to an end after being betrayed by her fellow Traitor Wilf. Well, it is the name of the game, after all!

Sex and the City star Kim Cattrall has shared the very sad news that her mother, Shane Cattrall, has died aged 93. The actress, who played Samantha in the beloved series, shared a series of throwback photos of her mother on Instagram in tribute and was met with a flood of support from her fans and followers.

Dolly Parton has said that she wants to unearth an unheard Christmas song – literally! The country singer told Kelly Clarkson that she put a new Christmas song into a time capsule that won't be opened until 2045 – but that it has bothered her because she really wants to dig it up. We think she should grab a spade and give us her new song!

Lana Del Rey has thrown some serious shade at her ex-boyfriend – by putting up a billboard promoting her new album in his hometown. She revealed that it is the only billboard – and is in her ex Sam Larkin's home city of Tulsa. She confirmed the reason why she put it there, simply writing 'it's personal'. We're impressed and a little scared!
